Cloud Accounting Reduces Bookkeeping Costs and Improves Efficiency for Clients

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Mail Us

Given the rise of cloud accounting technology over the years, the ability for accountants to interact and work more closely with clients has never been more accessible.

cloud accounting

The cloud software allows us to access the clients data anywhere, anytime and on any device.

With the various addons that can bolt onto the back of house bookkeeping software (such as Xero), you can start to create efficiencies.

These types of software have allowed accountants (the natural trusted advisor) to offer new services that weren’t possible 5 or more years ago.

Not only that, due to the efficiencies gained, we can offer these services at a competitive price.

From basic bookkeeping to a full virtual CFO role, we can do the lot.

Some Small Businesses can get to a point where they’re on the verge of needing an internal accountant to prepare costings, monthly reports, projections, etc.

However, the cost of doing this can be in some instances, rather expensive.

By partnering with your accountant, the Small Business Owner can gain the same service at a fraction of the cost.

If this is something that you have been considering or would like to know more information about these services, please don’t hesitate in contacting one of our team members.

    My brother suggested I would possibly like

Tax Deductions for Your Rental Property

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Mail Us

Property Investors are targeted each year by the ATO so it’s important that you know what you can and cannot claim as a tax deduction. Basically you can claim anything that is incurred on the investment property, however expenses are broken into 2 categories and claimed in 2 different ways:

tax deductions for property investors

1) Capital Costs

Capital costs such as those associated with the purchase of the property which are not deductible against the rent received but added to the cost of the property so that when the property is sold it reduces your Capital Gains Tax.

The main ones are:

  • Conveyancing costs
  • Stamp Duty
  • Legal Fees
  • Search Fees
  • Costs involved with Borrowing money from the bank (which can be claimed over the period of the loan or 5 years whichever is shorter).
  • Mortgage Insurance

2) ‘Running Costs’

Running costs are those that are incurred to maintain the property. These can be claimed against the rental received. Running costs are essentially anything spent on maintaining the property,  examples such as:

  • Legal expenses associated with the lease
  • Council fees, water rates,
  • Body corporate fees
  • Electricity is normally paid by the tenant.
  • Insurance
  • Advertising
  • Real estate agents fees
  • Bank charges
  • Depreciation on the property buildings  (constructed after 1985)
  • Depreciation on fixtures and fittings.
  • Repair costs

Repairs is a tricky area as it falls into 2 categories:

i ) Maintenance or repairs means to restore to its original condition (e.g. repair a dilapidated wooden paling fence, apply a new coat of paint etc.). Costs related to property maintenance and repairs to fixtures and fittings can be claimed as a tax deductible expense.

ii)  however if you were to improve or change the original condition, then it’s a Capital expenditure and you can only depreciate it. An example is to replace a wooden paling fence with a brick wall – the brick wall may be claimed as depreciation over the life of the asset.

  • Lawn mowing and gardening
  • Travel expenses

This is another tricky one as it must not be incidental to the trip.
Example: if you were going to Brisbane for a holiday for 3 weeks and you happen to drop in to inspect your rental property then that is incidental and not deductible. Rather, the holiday itself must be incidental and the main purpose for your trip must be to inspect your property in order for the trip to be deductible.

  • The Interest on loan is deductible but not the principle amount.

In summary, smart property investors claim all the tax deductions and depreciation costs that they’re legally entitled to. Working with a property tax specialist accountant and quantity surveyor can help investors maximise their property tax deductions in relation to tax deductible expenses and depreciation deductions.

Please refer to your accountant for your individual circumstances as these comments may not be applicable to you in your circumstances.

Verizon Kills Public Cloud IaaS Amid Falling Revenues

Verizon’s long-rumored retreat from public IaaS cloud services apparently has arrived. Verizon announced it will stop offering its public cloud services this month, indicating that it will focus instead on expanding its value-added cloud services portfolio, according to a research note from Molly Gallaher Boddy, a research analyst at TBR.

According to the note, In 1Q16, Verizon’s:

  • Total cloud revenue declined 1% year-to-year to $137 million, with public cloud growth declining 3.5% from the year-ago-quarter.
  • Cloud professional services revenue grew 3% year-to-year, and is expected to sustain growth throughout CY2016. The growth of Verizon’s professional services segment indicates important progress, with professional services expected to play a larger role in Verizon’s cloud business as revenue contributions from public cloud cease.

Boddy added:

“With its move out of public cloud IaaS, Verizon will pivot to using its Virtual Private Cloud and secure connectivity solutions to enable customers’ hybrid IT environments. TBR believes Verizon’s updated go-to-market strategy will be driven in part by alliances with public infrastructure cloud providers, with Verizon adding networking and security services.”

Translation: Watch for Verizon to promote secure interconnect links to IBM SoftLayer and Microsoft Azure. Verizon may also develop open source PaaS and Database as a Service capabilities, the researcher said.

Verizon had been mulling cloud data center sales as well, according to late 2015 rumors. But speculation about such a move has quieted down in recent months.

Growing momentum for Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure has forced multiple companies to rethink their public cloud strategies. Rackspace has pushed hard into managed services for AWS. Hewlett Packard Enterprise killed its own public cloud and now offers hybrid services for a range of clouds. And CenturyLink has been rethinking whether it wants to own its data centers in the cloud age.

Return Home

    Charles Houser:

    Private cloud instances is where most corporate environments are moving. Public clouds lack the control IT administrators are looking for. The market is undergoing a shift. We are in the 1st inning of this shift.

      Joe Panettieri:

      Hey Charles: Thanks for your readership and the comment. But I’ll respectfully disagree in terms of a “shift” from public clouds to private clouds. Frankly, I think the public wave is gaining major momentum.

Euripides' Heracles is an extraordinary play of great complexity, exploring the co-existence of both positive and negative aspects of the eponymous hero. Euripides treats Heracles' ambivalence by showing his uncertain position after the completion of his labours and turns him into a tragic hero by dramatizing his development from the invincible hero of the labours to the courageous bearer of suffering. This book offers a comprehensive reading of Heracles examining it in the contexts of Euripidean dramaturgy, Greek drama and fifth-century Athenian society. It shows that the play, which raises profound questions on divinity and human values, deserves to have a prominent place in every discussion about Euripides and about Greek tragedy. Tracing some of Euripides' most spectacular writing in terms of emotional and intellectual effect, and discussing questions of narrative, rhetoric, stagecraft and audience reception, this work is required reading for all students and scholars of Euripides.
Thalia Papadopoulou is Lecturer in Greek at the University of Ioannina.

'This is a wonderfully rich book. [Papadopoulou] is impressively learned - she has read and responded to everything - but there is nothing dry or showy about it. ... Anyone who is interested in Euripides - or indeed in Greek tragedy generally - will come away from this book both stimulated and enriched. ... her book is pleasingly slim-line and yet manages to say a very great deal. ... I recommend this book for the library with real enthusiasm.' Journal of Classics Teaching

U.S., South Korea Cancel Major War Game Planned for August

Jun 19 , 2018

WASHINGTON—The Pentagon said Monday that it had agreed with South Korea to cancel an important military exercise that was scheduled for later this summer, in keeping with President Donald Trump’s pledge to halt war games while talks are under way with North Korea.

Thousands of American and South Korean troops were expected to participate in the exercise, the American portion of which is called Freedom Guardian. Mr. Trump surprised the Pentagon and other administration aides by announcing after his historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un last week that he wanted to halt major maneuvers between the U.S. and South Korea, calling them expensive and provocative.

“Consistent with President Trump’s commitment and in concert with our Republic of Korea ally, the United States military has suspended all planning for this August’s defensive ‘wargame,’ ” Pentagon chief spokeswoman Dana White said in a statement Monday. “We are still coordinating additional actions. No decisions on subsequent wargames have been made,” she said.

Has anyone got a number for Yann M’Vila? And £100,000-a-week for the next three-and-a-half years?

That’s unfair.

The Frenchman doesn’t want to be at Sunderland , so wouldn’t be any use and, even were he committed and at his rare best, would have struggled to affect much change to this midfield performance in soggy south Wales.

That’s unfair too.

Jason Denayer is a centre-back who has played out of his skin in midfield. He was due a duff one.

Steven Pienaar is 34, playing out of his skin. He was due one too.

Didier Ndong is a young man with talent finding his feet and Seb Larsson, doing shuttles between midfield and attack, is 31 and just back from knee surgery.

Recently, some called for Duncan Watmore to be dropped. He may frustrate for being, by his own admission, far from the finished article.

But by goodness this showed his importance to Sunderland’s recent run of good form.

Sunderland's Duncan Watmore is stretchered off injured

Without him, David Moyes kept things as close to ‘as you were’ as possible – Larsson a straight, industrious swap.

Yet the Swede remains rusty, and lacks the pace to dart between his two postings. His return is a bonus but he lasted less than an hour.

Behind him Denayer did his now usual, sitting. He did not shadow Gylfi Sigurdsson as he had Philippe Coutinho. Perhaps he should have done. With Jan Kirchhoff back, perhaps he could use a break.

Perhaps Pienaar could, for after some excellent displays of late he looked lethargic at the Liberty.

Ndong? Ndowhere.

Forget M’Vila. Sunderland had that right.

But Moyes knows he needs more quality in midfield. Saturday showed it.

Nicholas Cranfield reviews the British Museum’s ‘Living with Gods’ exhibition

© Trustees of the British Museum

Processional Cross: from Ethiopia, 19th century

Processional Cross: from Ethiopia, 19th century

UNDER the Old Dispensation, the great basilica of Our Lady of Kazan in Leningrad, served from 1932 as the Museum of the History of Religion and Atheism. It offered an opiate of seeing, vitrine after vitrine, the cult objects from the perverted communities of religious believers. The more violent aspects of anti-religious bias were toned down when it was revamped in 1981.

It traduced the sacred scriptures of all faiths as legends and lies, and although Old Believers and covert Christians would gather in front of icons and nod their prayers under the steely gaze of otherwise indifferent guards, the purpose was clear; Christ was “the Jewish Fortune-teller”, depicted as the Oppressor.

When I visited, two young men, one Russian Orthodox and the other Baptist (who had been instructed in school that Christians ate babies), offered a guided tour of the collection to earn some roubles for their church communities, with whom I subsequently worshipped. The museum was a comprehensive show of the anthropological and societal corruption brought about by belief.

The almost too frenetic jumble of objects from around the world assembled in Bloomsbury frequently reminded me of Leningrad. That distorted exhibition seemed to have a clear ideological purpose, whereas the premise of the British Museum show, curated by Jill Cook, and for which Neil MacGregor (Features, 3 November) is writing a Penguin history to accompany his Radio 4 series of talks (March 2018), is somewhat ambiguous.

At the outset we are challenged: “Seeing how people believe rather than considering what they believe suggests a natural inclination for transcendent worlds and beings. Stimulated by our senses our minds connect and express thoughts that through stories, objects, images and rituals decrease anxieties and help to form strong social bonds, making our worlds well-ordered and understandable.

“As this tendency is natural to all human beings, it begs the question of whether the modern human species should be defined as wise, Homo sapiens, or as believing, Homo religiosus?”

Apart from the non sequiturs and the nice misunderstanding that “religion” equates with “belief”, the startling provocation of this slipshod thinking leads into a consideration of whether, however diverse our religious cults, there might be an underlying innate neurological trigger to find God or gods in the meaning of the world.

It opened on the day when the Western Church commemorates All Souls, and so includes a papier-maché figure of a red devil from Mexico where the Day of the Dead, as it is called, is a universal celebration by the Living of their Dead. Common strands are drawn of how other cultures honour their dead and celebrate life.

A large wooden model of juggernaut for deities to ride in from an Indian temple from the 18th century stands in front of three large Coptic processional crosses used across Ethiopia every September to commemorate the finding of the True Cross in 328 by the Empress Helena. The design on an embroidered cotton “Hundred Bird Coat” (20th century) for the Guzhang Festival of the Miao people in Hunan Province is here turned into a shopping bag. The festival, which is held every 12 years, lasts four or five years and is claimed to be China’s largest.

Elsewhere, we find beads used around the world to help men and women say their prayers. Not a single Greek rope of kombouloi among them, we see here a contemporary Spanish jeweller’s rosary. Comprising a string of emeralds with a pyx-like carrying case (Tiffany’s), this is set beside the more spartan wooden beads (and natural seeds, like the sea chestnuts) of other faiths, as if to pass judgement on luxuriant Christianity as a religious cosmetic.

In a display given over to fire, the rather beautiful early-14th-century Swabian diptych depicting the resurrection and the coming of the Spirit at Pentecost is referred to as “two painted panels”. Nothing is said to indicate its importance in medieval Christianity.

The first object we encounter, sentinel-like, is the extraordinary masterpiece of carved ivory of “Lion man”, said to be 40,000 years old: the oldest figurative image, half man, half lion. Ivory is notoriously difficult to date accurately, which explains why the current global agreement is almost impossible to police, but, give or take a couple of millennia, this is an amazing work (illustrated in last week’s feature).

Rightly placed at the centre of Jill Cook’s brilliant exhibition “Ice Age Art” in January 2013, it is a rare find from Hohlenstein-Stadel in Germany. Uncovered by a Nazi archaeological dig in the summer of 1939, it was not assembled from a couple of hundred fragments until the 1960s. The grandeur of the figure, which may, or equally may not, have had a cultic purpose, stands as proudly as Michelangelo’s David.

The Soviet creed I recall finding displayed in Leningrad in 1988 is explored here with a small painting of a cosmonaut laughing at the great void of space. “There’s no God!” he shouts. Maybe such propaganda is really the call of a lonely soul to find an inner meaning. One of the “Lampedusa crosses” made from the flotsam of a migrant boat in 2015 and sculpted refugee boats (bent mudguards and burnt matchsticks) offers a final reflection on the ineffable.

The objects, so many of them incredibly beautiful, have been untimely ripped from their faithful context. It will need Neil MacGregor to give it all some meaning and to bring it alive.

“Living with Gods: Peoples, Places and Worlds Beyond” is at the British Museum, Great Russell Street, London WC1, until 8 April 2018. Phone 020 7323 8000.

Back in 2008, after delivering the successful Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy to Disney's eager hands, Gore Verbinski had a special project in mind. An adaptation of the hit video game Bioshock was Verbinski's dream, and Universal was looking to help him make it into a reality. Part of the reason was probably because the series was so popular, making a huge impact on the pop culture of gamers at the time, but the other half had to have been the fact that the Pirates films did so damned well. Yet neither of those facts could save Gore Verbinski from the fact that the studio balked over two crucial elements: the proposed R-rating and the $200 million budget. It's for those reasons that the director left the project, which eventually folded; though after seeing A Cure For Wellness, it's clear that he's still got the project on his mind... and he should, without a question, be given the chance to bring it to life.

Without spoiling A Cure For Wellness, the film's resemblance to the story of Rapture's fall is pretty uncanny, without being a total ripoff. The new film centers its story around a health spa that isolates its patients from the outside world, getting them away from the rush and boom of the modern era. This is extremely similar to Andrew Ryan's creed of "No Gods. No Kings. Only Men" occupying the halls of Rapture. And, of course, the recurring theme of splicing and surgical / medical augmentation are a natural analog to the Cure for Wellness character Dr. Volmer's obsession with the "treatment" that he administers to all of his patients at his eponymous institute.

But besides the thematic similarities between A Cure For Wellness and Bioshock, you can tell in the film's visual language that Gore Verbinski clearly isn't done with this story yet. As far as the two problems facing the proposed Bioshock film are concerned, one would probably be easier to lick than the other. Obviously, the R-rating for the film is non-negotiable. The violence, the body modifications, and even the potential harvesting of Little Sisters are all fodder for gore-soaked nightmares, and it's just a part of the game's visual DNA. To tone it down to PG-13 levels would betray the material, and just plain suck.

However, depending on what the budget for A Cure For Wellness was, Gore Verbinski has proven that he can adapt the decaying, underwater world of Rapture with perfection. Take the Volmer Institut's setting, grime it up, throw in some wreckage and flooded passages, and you've basically got Andrew Ryan's haven. Not to mention, if the film takes advantage of funding perks courtesy of the German government, much like Cure did, it'd hedge the financial bet. So with a level headed financial plan, and some assistance from the outside, a studio that wanted to make a Bioshock film could sleep soundly, as the game series is still quite popular with its fans.

Even better is the fact that Bioshock has been around for over a decade, which not only ensures die hard citizens of Rapture would be flocking to the theater, but also that curious newcomers would be distanced enough from the start of the fad that they might feel more inclined to approach the series fresh. And should the film succeed, the advantage would be that there's two more games that could be adapted to form a Bioshock trilogy, with the opportunity being presented to not only tie all three films together, but to also rework the stories of Bioshock 2 and Bioshock: Infinite, so that they fit into an overarching narrative.

Most importantly though, A Cure For Wellness has only proven that Gore Verbinski is more than ready to bring Bioshock to the big screen. He was more than likely ready after making the Pirates of the Caribbean, but considering how similar his latest film is to the first game in the series, it basically serves as an informal audition to be given the job once again. In fact, the best piece of proof that we have to make this argument comes from an interview our own Sean O'Connell had with Gore Verbinski about whether or not his research for Bioshock informed his writing and directing process on A Cure For Wellness. Verbinski responded to that line of questioning with the following admission:

Not really, because [Bioshock is] a more more oedipal narrative, and deco. I mean, it's funny, because I'm hearing that from people, but there's nothing, I think there's just some images in the trailer that people are sort of triggering on ... [I] would have loved to make that movie.

The world of Rapture is still buried in the mind of Gore Verbinski, and A Cure For Wellness is a beautiful reminder of what could have been. It's also a good indication of what could be, should someone give him the right opportunity to resurrect the horrors and splendor that is Rapture. Hollywood, would you kindly give Mr. Verbinski the chance he needs to make this a reality? It's about time you did.

A Cure For Wellness will arrive in theaters on February 17th, and if you want to see what we thought of it, you can read our review here. If you need any further convincing that Bioshock's time has come, there's no greater example than that film.

Beauty and the Beast is going to be a big movie. This is not in dispute. It's a Disney fairy tale musical. You expect them to do well. What is surprising is just how big a movie it might actually be. While Beauty and The Beast doesn't open for three more weeks, the film is already on the tracking board, and early estimates are that the film could make as much as $120 million in North America alone during its opening weekend.

To put this in perspective, $120 million would be more than double the best weekend any film has had so far this year. The LEGO Batman Movie opened with just over $53 million earlier this month. In addition, the total would exceed Disney's best March opening ever, currently held by Alice in Wonderland which did $116 million on its way to doing over $1 billion globally. According to The Hollywood Reporter, only The Hunger Games and last year's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice have done better in March. There are a pair of other major March releases that will precede Beauty and the Beast, Logan and Kong: Skull Island, so the box office competition may be much fiercer by the time Beauty actually hits screens.

It's also leaps and bounds better than the original animated feature did at the box office. Even adjusted for inflation, since it's 1991 release, Disney's animated Beauty and the Beast did less than $20 million during its wide release opening weekend. That was only good enough for third place. The film never actually hit number one, though it eventually became one of the highest-grossing films ever that never did so.

A $120 million opening weekend puts Beauty and the Beast in the same company as some of the biggest movies released in the last few years. It's up there with comic book superhero movies and summer blockbusters.

While at first glance it might be a little surprising to see Beauty and the Beast looking to be quite this big, the fact is Disney's live-action remakes have been heading in this direction. The Jungle Book did over $100 million during its opening weekend and that film didn't have nearly the fan base that Beauty has. The Jungle Book was originally made in the late 1960s when Disney animation was on the verge of a slump. Beauty and the Beast is much younger, meaning that much of the movie going public remembers when it was released, and it came out during the studio's animation renaissance. If a lesser property like Jungle Book can do as well as it did, Beauty the Beast is destined to be huge.

Will you be at the theater opening weekend to see the "tale as old as time?" Let us know in the comments below.

The church of St Nicolas-de-Myre

The church of St Nicolas-de-Myre

The church of St Nicolas of Enghien is a Gothic-style building dating from the 14th and 16th centuries. A church was built from 1328 to the end of the 14th century on the site of a primitive oratory mentioned from the 12th century and placed under the patronage of St Nicolas. During the 15th century, the transept, tower, nave and its side aisles, as well as the elevation of the chancel were all rebuilt. The church was then totally roofed in crossed barrel vaulting. During the 17th century, and at the request of duchess de Croÿ, the south arm of the transept was developed into a chapel in the Renaissance style, dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary. The 18th century saw the remodelling in neo-Gothic style of the tower (architect: J. Dumont) and the west façade (architects: Verhaegen and Nève).

Designed in the shape of an irregular Latin cross, the church is made up of a nave, side aisles, prominent transept, chancel, annexes and the cross tower. The nave has four bays and is flanked by three side aisles (one to the north and two to the south). The chapels of St Anne and the baptismal fonts were added to the second south side aisle. The north side aisle has a Brabançon Gothic porch built between 1444 and 1459 by Jehan Inglebin. The chancel with three bays ends in a chevet with five walls. To the south-east has been added a third chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Messines (15th century).

Above the crossing of the transept is a neo-Gothic tower made up of a stack of two levels of sound openings. The summit, with its octagonal campanile, is flanked by corner turrets softened with pinnacles. Note the stained glass windows, some of which were created in the 20th century by Max Ingrand, as well as the baptismal fonts and pulpit.

Many people who undergo chiropractic massage benefit the most from an ongoing series of treatments over an extended period, which means picking the best chiropractic practitioner is essential.

When picking a Chiropractor, it is important to take your time and think about many various aspects. When starting your search, you can ask for suggestions from your General Physician, friends, and family. You will be surprised at how much information you can get by asking the people around you.

As soon as you have narrowed down your options, call a few places and request more information and a demonstration. They would normally do this for free and it will provide you a chance to evaluate the experience of the chiropractor.

Throughout your assessment or phone interview, ask the chiropractic doctor how long he has been practicing and where he was qualified. Also ask about his specific technique. There are many methods to resolve a specific issue. Some chiropractors may only use their hands while others might integrate devices such as suction gadgets to help with the massage.

Ask specifically about your problem and objectives and if he has any experiences or clients with similar problems. Some chiropractic doctors might recommend you to a specialist or somebody better certified to address your issue. If you feel unpleasant with the recommended methods or treatment, proceed to another chiropractic physician.Chiropractor 01

After you select and start going through treatments with a chiropractic physician, the most essential thing is that you must start feeling better. There must be an obvious improvement in your particular issue within a couple of weeks or months.

If you feel no difference, and even worse after a month, you might want to have a discussion with your chiropractic physician about your expectations. Chiropractic massage needs to be a healing, satisfying experience.

JP: Merchandise Trade

Sun Jun 18 18:50:00 CDT 2017

Consensus Actual Previous Revised
Level Y48.4B Y-203.4B Y481.7B Y481.1B
Exports-Y/Y 16.0% 14.9% 7.5%
Imports-Y/Y 14.8% 17.8% 15.1% 15.2%

Japan's merchandise trade balance shifted to a deficit of Y203.4 billion in May from a surplus of Y481.1 billion in April, in contrast to the consensus forecast of a surplus of Y48.4 billion. The value of Japan's exports increased 14.9 percent on the year in April, up from 7.5 percent in April but below the consensus forecast of 16.0 percent. The value of Japan's imports recorded growth of 17.8 percent on the year, up from 15.2 percent in April and above the consensus forecast of 14.8 percent.

Despite the move into deficit in May, today's data shows external demand is providing solid support to Japan's economy. Exports are now growing at their fastest pace since January 2015 with year-on-year growth in positive territory for the sixth month in a row. The pick-up in export growth in May was broad-based across Japan's major trading partners. Exports to China grew by 23.9 percent on the year in May, up from 14.8 percent in April and the seventh consecutive increase. Exports to Korea, Hong Kong and ASEAN countries also recorded stronger year-on-year increases in May, offset by a modest fall in exports to Taiwan on the year. Demand from outside the region also picked up appreciably, with exports to the United States up 11.6 percent on the year after growth of 2.6 percent in April, and the the year-on-year increase in exports to the European Union picking up from 2.2 percent to 19.8 percent.

Stronger headline imports growth in May was largely driven by imports of raw materials, up 25.7 percent on the year in May after an increase of 6.5 percent in April, with iron ore imports accounting for much of this increase. Fuel imports rose strongly on the year, up 41.5 percent, but moderated from the 58.7 percent increase recorded in April. Imports of manufactured goods, machinery and chemicals recorded stronger year-on-year growth in May, offsetting weaker growth in imports of electrical machinery and transport equipment.

Merchandise Trade balance measures the difference between imports and exports of both tangible goods and services. The level of the international trade balance, as well as changes in exports and imports, indicate trends in foreign trade.

Japan's merchandise trade balance measures visible trade and excludes services. Specifically it is the difference between imports of goods and exports of goods. A positive value indicates a trade surplus (exports exceed imports) while a negative value indicates a trade deficit (imports exceed exports). Movements in the trade balance reflect altered demand for Japanese exports which subsequently impact the yen's value and directly affect GDP growth because of the economy's dependence on trade.

The report gives insight into changing trends regarding Japanese trade. Such developments are especially important for Japan, which is an export-oriented economy that has historically experienced large trade surpluses and any change can have a dramatic effect on the domestic economy. Typically the headline number is the change from the previous year in yen along with the percentage change in exports and in imports from the previous year.

Singapore's parliament has been dissolved ahead of elections that will take place next month.

President Tony Tan Keng Yam, on the advice of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, on Tuesday dissolved Singapore's 12th Parliament, according to a government statement.

The vote is scheduled to take place on September 11, the government said.

The general election will be the first since the death of Singapore's founding father Lee Kuan Yew earlier this year. The city-state this month celebrated the 50th anniversary of its independence.

The People's Action Party (PAP) has ruled the wealthy Southeast Asian city-state since independence in 1965 and its ability to shift the economy away from export manufacturing to a high-value services and investment-driven growth model has been crucial to Singapore's success at transforming into one of the region's few first-world nations.

The country's one-party system may be unusual to other developed economies but it is one that benefits all of Singapore's residents, said Lee, who is the son of Lee Kuan Yew, at a conference earlier this month.

Despite this, the opposition, which is made up of nine active parties, will contest all 89 seats – the first time that this has happened since 1963, according to local media outlet Channel NewsAsia.

GST implications

As to “separate supply” in the current Agreement for Sale and Purchase of a Business.

Coffeys provide this information as a guideline only, all parties should seek professional legal and tax advice for confirmation of this interpretation.

In the latest edition of the Agreement for Sale and Purchase of a Business, Schedule 3 has been removed and warnings included in the document as to potential GST implications of residential accommodation forming any part of the sale. The now removed Schedule 3 included a declaration by the purchaser that they intended to use part of the property as a principal place of residence. It was silent on the implications of that however.

The Real Estate Institute of New Zealand has suggested the following clause, which is now to be included in the Further Terms of Sale of the Agreement (for Business Agreements) as follows:

SPECIAL GST CLAUSE DEALING WITH RESIDENCE – Clause 12 of this Agreement is substituted for the following:

 20.1     If the sale evidenced by the Agreement includes any interest in land, and

  1. any part of the land is being used as a principal place of residence at the date of this agreement; and
  2. that part is still being so used at the time of supply under this Agreement; then the supply of that part will be a separate supply in accordance with section 5(15)(a) of the GST Act.

20.2      If the Purchaser warrants, or the Purchaser expects any nominee to warrant that at settlement:

  1. they will be a registered person; and
  2. they intend to use the land for making taxable supplies; and
  3. they intend to use part of the land as a principal place of residence for themselves and/or for any person associated with them under section 2A(1)(c) of the GST Act (persons connected by blood relationship, by marriage, civil union or de facto relationship, or by adoption); and
  4. the part is the same part as that being used as a principal place of residence at the time of supply under this Agreement; then the relevant references under this Agreement to ‘the supply’ shall mean the supply under this Agreement excluding that part of the land being used as a principal place of residence.

So, what are the implications of this?

5(15)(a) of the GST Act states:

When either of the following supplies are included in a supply, they are deemed to be a separate supply from the supply of any other real property that is included in the supply:

  1. a supply of a principal place of residence:
  2. a supply referred to in section 14(1)(d)

Section 14(1)(d) states supplies that are exempt from GST include:

The supply, being a sale, by any registered person in the course or furtherance of any taxable activity of—

  1. any dwelling; or
  2. the reversionary interest in the fee simple estate of any leasehold land,—

that has been used by the registered person for a period of 5 years or more before the date of the supply exclusively for the making of any supply or supplies referred to in paragraph (c) or paragraph (ca):

c)       the supply of accommodation in any dwelling by way of—

  1. hire; or
  2. a service occupancy agreement; or
  3. a licence to occupy:

ca)  the supply of leasehold land by way of rental (not being a grant or sale of the lease of that land) to the extent that that land is used for the principal purpose of accommodation in a dwelling erected on that land:

We were not aware of any issues with GST on the sale of going concern accommodation businesses in recent times, so were initially confused as to why such strong warnings were included in the new agreement.

In conclusion, it would seem that the residential portion of the sale is exempt from GST, whereas the balance of the sale, being a taxable activity, is zero rated for GST. This may explain why we have not heard of any GST issues arising on settlement and have never had a request for a theoretical apportionment as to the value of the residential component.

Our Better Angels

Abby Zimet

Eleven years on, Sept. 11 still summons a speechless sorrow at the event, and rage at the senseless carnage that followed - perhaps never more than today, with new revelations of not just the sins but the further, utter ineptitude of the Bush White House. It's so hard to look at this face. The only conceivable reason to do so is, hopefully, to learn.  To be moved to say, like Jews regarding the Holocaust: Never again.

"We are a nation of euphemisms now. It's not spying on the American people, it is "national security." It's not holding someone in a hellhole without charges or trial, it is "indefinite detention." It's not kidnapping, it is "extraordinary rendition." It's not murder or assassination, it is "targeted killing." It's not torture, it is "enhanced interrogation." It's not wildly and patently illegal and immoral on its face, it is "war"... We are a lessened nation... and much of the damage has been done by our own hand. It is one thing for people to react with fear and rage after an outrageous act of violence. It is quite another for the leaders of those people to exploit that fear and rage for their own dark and greedy purposes."

This is the world we live in. This is the world we cover.

Because of people like you, another world is possible. There are many battles to be won, but we will battle them together—all of us. Common Dreams is not your normal news site. We don't survive on clicks. We don't want advertising dollars. We want the world to be a better place. But we can't do it alone. It doesn't work that way. We need you. If you can help today—because every gift of every size matters—please do. Without Your Support We Simply Don't Exist.

Viral Hepatitis

Viral Hepatitis can be difficult to understand because of the variety of problems and diseases of the liver which are referred to, collectively, as “Hepatitis.”  If someone’s liver has been damaged by medical treatment such as chemotherapy, overuse of some over-the-counter medicines such as acetaminophen, or by drinking alcohol to excess, they may be said to have “hepatitis.”  The damage to health from these kinds of hepatitis can be severe, and sometimes fatal.  These illnesses cannot be spread to another person (they are not infectious), but they can have symptoms similar to those shared by persons with viral hepatitis. Only viral Hepatitis can spread from one person to another by a variety of means.

There are five types of Hepatitis, but only three predominate in the Untied States:

  1. Hepatitis A
  2. Hepatitis B
  3. Hepatitis C

If you have been diagnosed with Hepatitis, your health provider will have informed you as to which type of Hepatitis it is and whether you remain infectious or not.  There are important differences between the types of Viral Hepatitis.  In all cases, the liver has been put under stress and should not be put in further danger by drinking alcoholic beverages or taking acetaminophen products (such as Tylenol ).

What is Hepatitis A?

  • Transmitted in the fecal-oral manner
  • One of the reasons that good hand washing by restaurant workers and those handling food is so important
  • Quite common in other countries
  • There are frequent outbreaks in the U. S.
  • Vaccine available, and vaccination is highly recommended for those traveling to less “developed” parts of the world
  • Learn more

What is Hepatitis B?

  • Transmitted from person to person through shared blood or body fluids
  • Sharing IV drug needles, unsterilized tattoo equipment, and unprotected sex are the principle ways people become infected with Hepatitis B
  • Is 100 times easier to become infected with than HIV
  • Possible for the virus in a smear of blood on an object to remain viable (able to infect someone) for several days
  • 15% of those infected with Hepatitis B become chronically infected
  • Vaccine preventable

What is Hepatitis C?

  • Transmitted from person to person through shared blood
  • Majority of cases are caused by injecting drug use (IVDU)
  • Those with hemophilia, or transfusion recipients are at increased risk due to tainted blood supplies in past decades
  • Vietnam era veterans are at increased risk due to infection spread by pneumatic jet injectors used until 1978 for vaccine administration to recruits
  • Of those infected with Hepatitis C, 85% become chronic carriers of the virus, and are at risk for liver cancer and other problems if the condition is left untreated
  • Risk to sexual partners does not seem to be nearly so great as it is with Hepatitis B
  • No vaccine available

How do I prevent hepatitis?

Hepatitis B and C may be prevented by:

  • sexual abstinence
  • consistent and proper use of condoms
  • use of new “works” if IV drugs are used
  • applied use of “universal precautions” when handling blood or body fluid contaminated items
  • Hepatitis B is vaccine preventable

Hepatitis A may be prevented by:

  • practicing good handwashing when preparing food, after using the restroom, and after changing a child’s diaper
  • The chance of sexual transmission of Hepatitis A via sexual practices in which exposure to fecal contamination can occur, is reduced through the use of latex barriers.
  • Hepatitis A is vaccine preventable

What vaccinations do I need?

  • Hepatitis A – two doses of vaccine, at least 6 months apart
  • Hepatitis B – three doses
  • Hepatitis C – no vaccine
  • Appointments and fees
  • The Hepatitis A / Hepatitis B combination vaccine (Twinrix) is a 3-shot series.

Zaros Hotels - Heraklion, Crete

Here you will find details of Zaros Hotels. Zaros is a picturesque mountain resort smack bang in the middle of Crete, about 45K south of Heraklion. Famous for its natural spring water, you can't walk far without the sultry sound of water softly flowing down narrow streams and channels to the nearby Fragma Dam.

Turn on the tap in your hotel room or apartment in Zaros and natural spring water flows from it!

There's such a lot to do in this village and the nearby area, that it's a good idea to forsake the beach for a few days and relax amongst the hills and mountains for a change.

Zaros Accommodation is varied and very reasonable, and wherever you stay you will enjoy the unique family hospitality that is famous on Crete.

Featured Zaros Accommodation

Cognos and Business Objects recently unveiled new BI products

Cognos and Business Objects recently unveiled new BI products. Cognos introduced ReportNet, a query and reporting engine designed from the ground up to support Web services, Java, and XML. At the same time, Business Objects launched Enterprise 6.1 of its business intelligence suite of applications.

ReportNet combines both business and production reporting into a single application, an industry first, according to one analyst.

"Up until now it took multiple products to do that and they were usually somewhat incompatible," said David Folger, vice president of enterprise analytics at Meta.

Arming reporting tools with Web services capabilities is a direction most of the BI industry is headed, Folger said, but Cognos is the first to get there.

"BI products have been built before the Web and have been kluged and rekluged and (BI) companies need to redo things. Cognos has done that," Folger said.

ReportNet was also designed to extend the report-building capability to more people within an organization, which includes report recipients, consumers, and business authors, according to Michael Branchaud, director of product marketing at Cognos.

By way of comparison with ReportNet, Folger called Enterprise 6.1 a good next step.

"It's not a dramatic change over 6.0 but it should help get to the next level of acceptance," Folger said.

Enterprise 6.1 will offer better data integration with its ETL (Extraction Transformation and Load) platform, deeper impact analysis on changes to the source system that can be displayed on scorecards and dashboards, and improved analysis capability over the Web than the previous version.

Cognos ReportNet is available now, as is Business Objects Enterprise 6.1. -- InfoWorld (US)
