You need to provide your cable provider. If you go to their website, you can see what's on what channels. QVC is usually on 13 or 14, but not always the case. Hope that helps.
What do you say about suicide squad movie ?
It's a fun movie, perfectly setting up the serials to follow(people forgot this isn't a '1, and done' movie, it's part 1 in a serial).
The funny thing is, in the 40's, and 50s they had serials, so old people get how these movies in a serial work, young-people are useless though, they simply can't comprehend it, basically this is a DC-series, not a DC-movie, and when you watch it as such, you'll get it, if you expect a 1-shot movie, you won't get it.
I would give it a 6/10. It has a poorly written plot, and most of the characters are also poorly written and rather dull. Since there are so many of them who are all being introduced for the first time in this movie, you don't get much time to have character development or flesh them out at all. So they end up being rather dull and uninteresting because they are just kinda there being "badass", but that's it. You don't have a personal connection with them or anything.
That has been DCs biggest problem with these last two movies (Batman v Superman, and now Suicide Squad.) They have rushed it and just stuffed a bunch of characters together, rather than taking the time to build up to it.
I went in with low expectations because a friend was a little disappointed with it. I enjoyed it, I didn't like the ending though, like it was just shitty tbh. They didn't want to kill the heart cause they might lose her, then they do and she obviously came back still anyway. Joker some how lived, how? He was below the height of the building Harley jumped to and after that the helicopter crashed downwards. Then he breaks into a place that should or would have a lot of security and saves Harley... Like that was all predictable crap. Anyway, pretty good movie,
Overall decent, but i felt the characters were lacking development which made their arcs a little unbelievable and thusly big character moments that should have been really emotional fell a little flat. Now, that's all ok if you're just looking for an action movie, but while the action was fine, I felt like it was nothing we haven't seen before
They should have made it R rated and added better scenes, but they wanted the profits from the thousands of 13 year old teenagers and their parents

How are loggers affected by deforestation?
what do they sand for on this issue?
2. how are they concerned?
3. are there any facts or evidence to support their point of view?
i can't seem to find any information on this, so plz answer these questions or give me information on it
1. Loggers don't make any money unless they cut down trees and cut roads up to and through the forests - so that is what they do. This causes bad publicity because of destruction of the ecosystem and therefore the life of the forest. They don't like the bad publicity but if they don't make any money they won't eat.
2. Loggers are concerned that there won't be enough trees left eventually for them to make a living. They would like to see the companies or government replant trees after they are cut down, but they can't afford to do it themselves or simply don't want to sholder the cost.
3. See the attached article about loggers running Greenpeace activists out of town.

Relocating to Luxembourg
Hello
Recently I got a nice work offer in Luxembourg and was thinking to take this chance a relocate in Luxembourg. I was wondering what would be a good salary (before tax) to live normally with minor enjoyments for a young family with two kids of 1 and 1 years?
What are approximately monthly expenses amounting; like rent, electricity, gas, water, public transport etc?
Do it! Luxembourg is a fantastic place to live and work, with a high standard of living, and very safe. It's also very pretty, with great countryside, and some rather nice castles.
Rent will depend on where you want to live, and whether you're looking for a detached house or a flat. A two-bedroom apartment near the centre of town could be around 1000 Euro a month or more; for similar rent, you may be able to find a three-bedroom house out of town. Check out www.athome.lu to see some of what's on the market.
Be aware that in all likelihood, you WILL have to provide your own white goods and, oddly enough, light fittings. Luxembourg's funny about light fittings.
I'm afraid I don't recall what sort of costs electricity, gas, and water run to, but they are among the lowest in Europe. Ditto petrol and diesel. You'll be pleased to know that public transport is fantastic! Buses are regular, tend to be on time, and a ticket on most routes costs 1.50 Euro, and is valid for two hours from the time of purchase on most buses. This means it's possible to get the bus from an outlying village like Senningen to the main bus station in the city of Luxembourg, then hop on a bus to an office or school the other side of town, all on one ticket. Trains are inexpensive, but don't cover as much of the country as the buses, and a tram route is being built. For students and school children, there is the Jumbo Card. Pay 50 Euros for one of these, and that's free public transport for a year. Well worth it, particularly for older children!
The last I heard, salaries start at a minimum of about 18,000 Euros for full-time work, but professionals tend to earn more, in the 25,000 - 35,000 Euro range. Be warned that the difference between what the average man and the average woman earn is larger than people from English-speaking countries are used to. Luxembourg is working on this, but it's taking them a while to catch up with parts of the world like Iceland. On the other hand, I've found that a a pretty blouse and a charming smile can make paperwork get completed slightly faster, so the somewhat old-fashioned attitudes in many government offices can be exploited!
Good luck with the move, and I hope you enjoy Luxembourg!
that sounds great especially knowing that the GDP in Luxembourg is one of the highest in the world! I think it ranked 2nd after Qatar? Anyways good for you!!!!
What passport do you hold ?
If it's from outside the EC I doubt you will be granted a work permit. If you have an EC passport you need a working knowledge of the local language to hold down any worthwhile job.

Where is luxembourg
i found out recently that my great grandma is from luxembourg. where is luxembourg located and what are typical characteristics of people from there?
The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (Luxembourgish: Groussherzogtum Lëtzebuerg, French: Grand-Duché de Luxembourg, German: Großherzogtum Luxemburg), archaically spelled Luxemburg, is a small landlocked country in western Europe, bordered by Belgium, France, and Germany. Luxembourg has a population of under half a million people in an area of approximately 2,585 square kilometres (998 sq mi).
Luxembourg is a parliamentary representative democracy with a constitutional monarchy, ruled by a Grand Duke. It is the world's only sovereign Grand Duchy. The country has a highly developed economy, with the highest Gross Domestic Product per capita in the world. Luxembourg is a founding member of the European Union, NATO, the United Nations, Benelux, and the Western European Union, reflecting the political consensus in favour of economic, political, and military integration. The city of Luxembourg, the capital and largest city, is the seat of several institutions and agencies of the European Union.
Luxembourg lies on the cultural divide between Romance Europe and Germanic Europe, borrowing customs from each of the distinct traditions. Luxembourg is a trilingual country; French, German, and Luxembourgish are official languages. Although a secular state, Luxembourg is predominantly Roman Catholic.
Geography and climate
Luxembourg is one of the smallest countries in Europe, and ranked 175th in size of all the 194 independent countries of the world; the country is about 2,586 square kilometres (999 sq mi) in size, and measures 82 km (51 miles) long and 57 km (35 miles) wide. To the east, Luxembourg borders the German Bundesländer of Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland, and, to the south, it borders the French région of Lorraine. The Grand Duchy borders the Belgian Walloon Region, in particular the latter's provinces of Luxembourg and Liège to the west and to the north respectively.
The northern third of the country is known as the 'Oesling', and forms part of the Ardennes. It is dominated by hills and low mountains, including the Kneiff, which is the highest point, at 560 metres (1,837 ft). The region is sparsely populated, with only one town (Wiltz) with a population of more than two thousand people.
The southern two-thirds of the country is called the "Gutland", and is more densely populated than the Oesling. It is also more diverse, and can be divided into five geographic sub-regions. The Luxembourg plateau, in south-central Luxembourg, is a large, flat, sandstone formation, and the site of the city of Luxembourg. Little Switzerland, in the east of Luxembourg, has craggy terrain and thick forests. The Moselle valley is the lowest-lying region, running along the south-eastern border. The Red Lands, in the far south and southwest, are Luxembourg's industrial heartland and home to many of Luxembourg's largest towns.
The border between Luxembourg and Germany is formed by three rivers: the Moselle, the Sauer, and the Our. Other major rivers are the Alzette, the Attert, the Clerve, and the Wiltz. The valleys of the mid-Sauer and Attert form the border between the Gutland and the Oesling.
Luxembourg is divided into three districts, which are further divided into twelve cantons and then 116 communes. Twelve of the communes have city status, of which the city of Luxembourg is the largest.
Luxembourg has a marine west coast climate (Köppen: Cfb), marked by high precipitation, particularly in late summer.
IANAL (I am not a Luxembourger) but it is a small country south of Belgium and east of France. Germany borders it on the east. I believe people there are mostly of French ethnicity but there is a strong German influence. If you are from the US you might know Luxembourg as part of the Ardennes battlefield, aka the Battle of the Bulge
Actually, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a small country (about the size of Rhode Island) located in a triangle at the southern boundary of Belgium, the eastern boundary of France, and the western boundary of Germany. The people are primarily German if I remember, and there is considerable commerce and manufacture done in the Country.
Just returned about 2 weeks ago.
People are friendly. It's a modern country with old-world charm, particularly outside of the capital. Fascinating history - it used to be about 2x its current size but since 1500's they've lost parts to France, Belgium, and Germany.
Luxembourg City has some impressive fortifications, but that's only 10% of what used to be there in the 16th century. The other major European powers of the day forced them to tear them down in return for independence - the city is so naturally defendable anyway with the forst they built it was totally imp[regnable - which made them a threat to all theri neighbors.
It was also the site of much of the Battle of the Bulge in WW2.
This is why they invented atlases. To find places you have just heard about. They are great things.
As for characteristics of people, they vary in any country as much as in your homeland. The all encompassing characteristics are bipedal, erect, with ocular, olfactory and auditory sensors clustered at the top of the body.

If its worldwide recession how come Japan's unemployment is 5% and Australia unemployment 4%?
but US unemployment 17% (taking into account those who are unemployed but given up hunting because they are discouraged)?
Australia spent their stimulus package on infrastructure .... a 'ginormous' rebuilding of schools all over the country which kept people in employment everywhere ... the elderly and families were given money to spend ... and this kept the money in circulation stimulating small business and giving the consumers confidence not to sit on their funds ... and there has been a great flow on effect ... therefore no recession ... therefore no great job cuts ... and the beauty of this spending is that there is something good to show for it ... the money hasn't all disappeared into the ether ...
Australia has a pop. of 20 million and as far as I can see has a sound economy yes yes to that one. Japan's economy however is probably the most unstable in the whole world - yes even more unstable than Greece. Greece has the backing of the whole European Union. Japan had a "lost decade" in the 90s due to deflation and before the recession it was ok now it is ready to implode again. I would rather America's economy over Japans anyday even with the high unemployment. also Japan does not have any welfare so if you are unemployed you are f'u'c'k'e'd
Plus Canada was not even affected by the recession but they still have around 8% unemployment. As told by their government.
Its very complicated
Australia has mineral wealth which we sell to China -
along with
the other things we used to sell for a lot money that gave rise to employment
wool- gone
wheat - gone
beef -gone
manufacturing?
coal - labor and the greens will make that a thing of the past
Japan does a lot of ''feather bedding'' They keep on employees even if they ae not needed
Australia supplies China with material so their mines would keep on working

what is a binman
What is a Binman?
These were vastly overpaid council employees who came around with a big smelly truck once a week, and emptied the big tin dustbins people used to use. In the days when coal fires were more common, these often contained ashes as well as other waste. Every now and again, the bin men would go on strike. Sometimes they went on strike for more money for themselves, sometimes they went on strike in support of some other bunch who were asking for more money - but when they did it caused a lot of problems. The garbage would build up and streets would become clogged with rat infested piles of insanitary rubbish.
A splendid confidence trick was played on these half wits by successive socialist and conservative governments who wished to castrate their union. They were led to believe that in the interests of 'saving the planet', the public would be required to sort their garbage into 3 categories, and to put these into separate bags. Food waste would go into small degradable bags, which could be safely left in rat-proof locked boxes awaiting collection. So-called 'recyclable' waste - (in fact, as the CEO of Sainsbury's supermarket chain gave away in a TV debate with a disgraced former minister, only the big plastic drinks bottles are recycled) - would be rinsed and placed in a see-through bag. This would then contain the majority of household waste, which is card, plastic and cans and will not cause a health hazard. The remainder would go into black plastic bags for collection once per fortnight.
The percentage of waste which would cause a public nuisance in the event of a strike was thus vastly reduced, and could be easily handled by small teams of management or external contractors in the event of a protracted strike.
The silly bin-men failed to spot this, and took the opportunity to be bloody-minded in many cases, chasing householders up for not properly sorting their refuse etc. They happily co-operated in their own redundancy.
A "Binman" is a refuse collector. In American terms, a garbageman. They deal with weekly rubbish collection. It is often regarded as a low class and menial job.
Waste collection worker, sanitation worker or as he is more commonly referred to....the garbageman.
They make good money, and I don't see why they are 'looked down on' by some people after all, they perform an essential service!
In America you call your food waste garbage, and the containers you throw your garbage into are called trash cans. Am i right?
Well in England we call our food waste rubbish and we throw it away into ''Bins''. And 'binmen' are the people who come to collest our bins. Just like your garbagemen.
the great people who collect your house hold rubbish once a week good money if you can get it .
