Yet the painter, for me, remains a mystery. What face really lay behind such magical artistry? What was the essence of his heart, his outlook? What was his authentic message, which he expressed through the medium of painting? The man, who I had the good fortune of getting to know and who never hesitated in extending his friendship, was reminiscent of those portraits of artists throughout history on canvas, and since the middle of the nineteenth century, in photography.

However the individual whom I consider is in fact, remarkably ordinary. By which I mean his manner and behaviour are not self-consciously that of an artist – he suffers from no artistic affectations or ostentations, which is ultimately the shop window of his person. He welcomed me unreservedly, evidently pleased to meet me. He was relaxed and friendly and curious to get to know me. Or perhaps to remember. Such was the man who immediately set me at ease, and continues to do so: there are no optical tricks or illusions with Christian. Rather, an unwavering authenticity, an unchecked sensitivity and even-handedness, all part of the shared confidence in our acquaintance for which we need one another.  

Gunnery covers the fundamentals of the technology and science behind space ship weaponry.

Only those that fully understand the underlying mathematics for long range targeting and hi-tech arsenals can hope to stay on top of the myriad new gadgetry that appears every year.

The capsule technology allows the captain to attain total affinity with his ship, as long as he's intimately familiar with both the capsule and the ship itself and all its potential.

For those that reach this level maneuvering and commanding their ship becomes like second nature to them.

Science, the art of experimentation and observation, is an enticing pursuit for the inquisitive mind.

The focus is on practical application of the knowledge acquired herein, making science students uniquely able to handle complex scientific tasks in the field.

Might makes right and in this day and age money is where the might lies.

Acute businessmen abound and the only way to beat them is at their own game.

Once you understand what drives the market you're halfway home to earning your first million.

Engineering is an excellent foundation to build a successful space ship career on.

Being tech-savvy allows a captain to be more than just the driver of his ship - he becomes the ship's master.

In the hi-tech world of EVE being comfortable around complex machines can mean the difference between life and death.

SAP reduces the cost of doing business and increases profit

SAP and the Growth Game Plan

Streamlining our processes and deploying SAP will increase value at the regional and enterprise level, helping us stay competitive in today's constantly evolving market.

Implementing SAP supports the mission of the Growth Game Plan and the 5 ways to win. Streamlined, integrated, global processes help us build an execution powerhouse. They also deliver savings, which unlocks trapped capacity for growth.

Now that you know the benefits of SAP, let's take a closer look at the system.

With all the speed and power you expect from a new XXXX flagship,  the XXXXX is packed with expanded features and versatility. Put simply: it shoots what you want,  where you want,  faithfully following your intentions with an incredibly accurate initial AF detection and AF tracking performance,  even at high subject magnifications or after sudden changes in your subject’s distance. You get incredible JPEG image quality straight out of the camera,  including a new level of depth,  sharpness and malleability. Video capabilities are more powerful and versatile than ever,  with a new 1080/60p and shockingly sharp 1920 x 1080 crop mode that must be seen to be believed.

New algorithms to further empower the accurate AF acquisition of extremely fast and erratically moving subjects, both near and far

Tenacious AF tracking, even when subjects are unpredictable, low-contrast, approaching or receding at high speeds

Instant and strategic AF-area mode selection via Telephoto NIKKOR AF activation button for optimized AF in any situation

Numerous countries (e.g., Canada, Australia, and Japan) tax foreigners on the gains realized on transfers of interests in foreign entities that invest directly or indirectly in real estate in those countries. In the last few years, actions taken by tax authorities in India, China, Brazil, Indonesia, and other non-Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries have highlighted the possibility of taxing a broader range of indirect share transfers by foreigners. This article argues that taxing indirect transfers can have vital policy significance in countries where foreign inbound investments are actively traded in offshore markets: it not only deters tax avoidance, but may also stanch legal base erosion 一 the substitution of offshore investment structures for legal mechanisms in onshore markets. The successful implementation of a broad policy of taxing indirect transfers, however, depends crucially on securing voluntary taxpayer compliance. To this end, this article proposes to rationalize existing practices for taxing indirect transfers in two major ways: (1) striking a better balance between ex ante and ex post lawmaking; and (2) consistently treating taxable indirect transfers as sales of underlying target companies (thus allowing conforming adjustments in tax basis). These improvements better target tax avoidance, eliminate arbitrary consequences, and generate market incentives that facilitate compliance.
