Tax Policy (revised June 5, 2005)

Since Scallywag Syndicate placed shoppes, taxes shall be raised to 100%. If anyone not involved with Scallywag Syndicate would like a refund, please talk to Crazyluigi after you have paid your taxes (buyers of SS placed shoppes and any stalls associated with them may not request a refund). You will be getting a complete refund of the additional tax and your taxes are actually at 0%.

Note: This also includes a refund of half of a stall's startup costs.

You can PM crazyluigi on the main YPP forums or PM Crazyluigi at http://silver-dawn.org/forums/index.php to set up a time to meet. I am usually online around 8-11 PM EDT and other times as well.

Niels Bohr (1885-1962)

Born in Copenhagen, Bohr studied under Rutherford and expanded his theories of atomic structure. Bohr introduced the idea that electrons travel in orbits around the atom's nucleus, and that the chemical properties of the elements are determined by the number of electrons in the outer orbits. Bohr worked closely with Heisenberg in Copenhagen, and his work won the 1922 Nobel Prize in Physics. During World War II, he played a minor role in the Manhattan Project, which he claims he joined specifically because they didn't need his help, but it got him out of Europe. After the war, he returned to Copenhagen and became a proponant of nuclear energy.

The synthetic element Bohrium is named in his honor: Bohrium (Bh) has an atomic number of 107. Its most stable isotope, Bh-262, has a half-life of 102ms.
