Bull and Triple Eight Race Engineering officially commenced their new
V8 Supercars partnership on January 1, 2013 and are in preparations to
unveil the all-new Red Bull Racing Australia VF Holden Commodore in
coming weeks. While we considered having Jamie and Craig
jump out of a pod some 40,000m into the atmosphere to formally launch
Red Bull Racing Australia (see what we did there?), our good friend
Felix made it quite clear three was a crowd. Instead, we
opted to give V8 Supercars fans some real behind-the-scenes insight
into what the Red Bull Racing Australia team is like away from the
track.
In his fifth annual letter, Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, highlights how setting clear goals and accurate measurement are key to improving the lives of poor people around the globe.
The letter describes remarkable progress from schools in the United States to health care in Ethiopia and makes the case that continued investments in these efforts have made a measurable difference for millions of the world’s poorest people. A core reason was the world’s commitment to setting clear goals and identifying the right measures to drive progress towards those goals.

http://www.slam-n-ropes.com - Immortal Martial Arts Inc. was the original manufacturer and distributor of the Battling Ropes® brand. After six years of supplying heavy training ropes for John Brookfield Immortal decided to launch their own new and improved patent pending brand of heavy training ropes called Slam N ropes®. All of our ropes are made of commercial quality materials specifically designed for rope waves, slams and undulation exercises.
SLAM N ROPES® BRAND THE NEED FOR A BETTER ROPE: After much trial and error and product re-design and many thousands of dollars later, we came up with the best commercial quality and most functional design of heavy training ropes in the industry. We are convinced about the quality, durability and unique design of our products compared to what's currently available that we have filed a full utility patent for our designs with the US Patent & Trademark office. In addition in 2012 Immortal received a registered trade mark certification by the USPTO for Slam N Ropes®.
“What we do” videos, also known as “explainer” videos, are a great way to share a simplified message with your target audience to demystify services and product offerings. Instead of “telling” you how to make one, we decided to create our own to illustrate how it works.
Together with our creative team and top notch producers, we huddled and tried to make our complex business easy to understand at a high level. Hopefully we succeeded, and also made you smile along the way.

Newcastle Brown Ale today announced ‘No Bollocks 2013,’ a new integrated national marketing campaign.
At the heart of the ‘No Bollocks 2013’ campaign is a series of TV spots comprised entirely of still photo images intended to cut through the clutter of expensive, elaborate, overly produced advertisements typical of the beer category. Instead of using the professional actors or beautiful models normally featured in beer ads, the spots feature ordinary people drinking at real parties having a real good time (or a real bad time in some cases). The creative takes on traditional beer advertising gimmicks that imply that hand crafted workmanship and hand selected ingredients are unique to certain beers and that parties are made abundantly more fun with those same beers.

QROPS - Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Schemes were introduced in 2006 as part of a major overhaul of Britain\'s pension framework, aimed at simplifying pension transfers to another country. New legislation was passed by the UK tax authority, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), in order to comply with an EU directive that pensions be free to move across Europe\'s borders. This ruling means that individuals, wishing to retire to countries such as France, Spain and Portugal can effectively take their UK pension funds with them: http://www.axis-finance.com/what-are-qrops.php
Who can apply for a QROPS?
A QROPS is specifically designed to allow anyone, not intending to retire in the UK, to transfer existing and frozen UK pension plans into a more appropriate retirement vehicle.
Individuals who are, or have been members of a UK registered pension fund and are currently living outside of the UK, or intending to leave the UK on a permanent basis, can consider transferring their retirement fund into a QROPS: http://www.axis-finance.com/qrops-living-in-France
Transfers to QROPS
The UK Government allows transfers to QROPS to be made free of UK tax. Their aim is to simplify the affairs of individuals leaving the UK on a permanent basis and to encourage them to continue saving in order to provide an income when they retire. There is no official limit to the amount of funds that may be transferred to a QROPS: http://www.axis-finance.com/qrops-France-pension-transfers
QROPS - HMRC Rules
What makes a scheme a QROPS?
In order to transfer your UK pension into a QROPS, it is necessary for the overseas pension scheme to be accepted by HMRC. The criteria outlined by HMRC for an overseas scheme to qualify as a QROPS include:
- The pension scheme must be established outside of the UK
- It must be recognised for tax purposes in the country where it is located
- It must be regulated in the country in which it is established
Age that benefits can be taken from a QROPS
The QROPS regime mirrors that of a regulated pension scheme in the UK. Benefits, including lump sum payments, from the transferred funds may not be distributed earlier than the normal retirement age of 55, if an individual has been a non-UK resident for less than five complete tax years: http://www.axis-finance.com/qrops-living-in-France-HMRC-Rules
QROPS Reporting requirements
HMRC should be notified if a payment is made within the first five tax years of a member becoming non-UK tax resident. Any benefits paid before five complete tax years of non-UK residency and not in accordance with UK Pension rules will be deemed an unauthorised payment.
The scheme manager does not have to notify HMRC if the payment is made 10 or more years after the day of the transfer that created the QROPS fund for the \'relevant member\', provided that the person is non UK resident for the duration of this period. This 10 year \'bracket\' for reporting payments took effect as of 6 April 2012.
QROPS List
When transferring your UK pension to a scheme overseas, it is important to check that the scheme meets the conditions to be a qualifying recognised overseas pension scheme (QROPS). Not all transfers to overseas or offshore schemes are QROPS transfers; it is therefore essential to verify that the scheme receiving your UK benefits is on the QROPS list published by HMRC, otherwise a transfer will be treated as a transfer to a non-qualifying overseas scheme and substantial penalties may be applied by HMRC at the time of transfer: http://www.axis-finance.com/qrops-list-living-in-France
How do I know if it is a legitimate QROPS scheme?
QROPS approved plans that agree to have their details published are listed on the HMRC website. A UK Pension administrator will confirm a QROPS listing before agreeing to a transfer. If not listed, the administrator will contact HMRC

What exactly happens to us after we die? Almost all of us have been challenged by this question. The existence of life after death is a universal question made by mankind. Do we simply exist? Do all go to the same place or to different places? Is there really a heaven and a hell? Accordingly to the Bible, Jesus took the punishment that all of us deserve and sacrificed his own life.
