V súčasnej dobe je možné automobil opodstatnene považovať za neodmysliteľný článok podnikateľskej činnosti. Predstavuje totiž činiteľ, ktorý podnikateľom umožňuje efektívnejšie využívať čas, sprostredkovane môže predstavovať jeden z faktorov vyššej konkurencieschopnosti, čím logicky zvyšuje účinnosť podnikania. Je teda možné konštatovať, že v drvivej väčšine nie je možné bez využívania automobilu v podnikateľskom prostredí úspešne dlhodobo pôsobiť.
V prípadoch, keď používanie automobilu je priamo späté s výkonom podnikateľskej činnosti (t. j. doprava materiálu, osôb, zásobovanie obchodných prevádzok tovarom a pod.) je polemika o potrebe prevádzkovania dopravného prostriedku bezpredmetná. Používanie automobilu na výkon podnikateľskej činnosti alebo v súvislosti s podnikaním je však okrem iného neodlúčiteľne spätá aj s množstvom daňovo-účtovných problémov. Správne uplatnenie výdavkov na pohonné látky je najčastejšie sa vyskytujúca problematika v aplikačnej praxi podnikateľov v spomínanej oblasti.
The Dark Ages: The Emergence of An English Identity
What historically has been called the Dark Ages since the 14th century has proved to be less dark than previously thought. It would be true to say that the 600 year period following the Roman withdrawal from Britain until the Norman Invasion of 1066 was more ‘obscure’ than ‘dark’. It was a time of Angle, Saxon and Jute invasions of Britain prompted by mass migrations westward from Eastern Europe by warring tribes like the Goths, Vandals and Huns, by Vikings from the north, Moors from the east and Scotti tribes from the west. Most of these diverse peoples left scant written record of their history or culture, evidently more intent on conquest. What is known of them comes from Early Medieval sources, like the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, from religious Irish clerics and medieval writers like Bede, Nennius and Gildas who often relied on earlier unverifiable narratives. Later accounts by Henry of Huntingdon and Geoffrey of Monmouth were more akin to storytelling than history and were often lavishly interspersed with ancient myths and folklore. In the light of contemporary studies and extensive archaeological research, this book attempts to cast a light into some of that obscurity.
Adolf Hitler and the Art of Tyranny
Adolf Hitler may be history’s most notorious tyrant. Surely no one’s name is more often evoked to epitomize evil and the deliberate infliction of suffering on vulnerable individuals and group? hrough exceptional will and luck Hitler struggled up through the ranks of political power until he became Germany’s master. He then sought to dominate Europe. Determined to unite all German-speaking peoples in one nation, he embarked on a series of aggressions that culminated in a war that engulfed and devastated most of Europe and North Africa, and left tens of millions of people dead, maimed, or homeless. Along with his political opponents, he condemned Jews and other ‘inferior peoples’ as Germany’s enemies, and eventually had around six million of them arrested and systematically slaughtered. Adolf Hitler and the Art of Tyranny answers with depth and clarity three core questions. What made Hitler who he was; why did he do what he did; and what were the results? Many other questions radiate from these. For instance, how did Hitler get tyrannical power? Or why was the Third Reich destroyed after just a dozen years? Many more crucial questions and arrays of answers follow. Hitler, of course, did not act alone. He enthroned himself atop power pyramids that included the Nazi Party, government, military, secret police, industrial associations, religious institutions, and other social organizations. He commanded countless ‘willing executioners’ of his plans and orders. To a rational, knowledgeable person, Hitler’s mass appeal is puzzling. How could someone as histrionic, vulgar, shallow, bullying, and extreme as Hitler inspire such adoration and fanatical acts by millions of people?
Emperor Maxentius
This is a biography of the last man who can truly be considered a ‘Roman’ emperor. Maxentius was the last pagan emperor to rule in Rome itself, the last emperor to reside on the Palatine, the last emperor with a Praetorian Guard. He was a prolific builder, popular with the people and armies of Rome, and surprisingly successful against impressive odds, fighting off two opposing emperors, until felled by disaster at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge. Simon Turney examines his background (he was the son of Emperor Maximian) and describes the context of the imperial situation of the Tetrarchy leading to his rise. He sifts all the evidence, architectural, numismatic and inscriptive, attempting to identify where Christian (and Constantinian) bias has warped the truth. He narrates Maxentius’ six year reign during a tumultuous time of civil wars, culminating in the dramatic battle of the Milvian Bridge, where he fell. He peels back the later vilification by Christian sources and reveals a capable emperor, a great builder (with a legacy of monuments still visible) and, ironically, a tolerant ruler who ended the Great Persecution of Christians in his territories years before Constantine followed suit.
From Vulcan to Spitfire and Back
Growing up in Belfast during the Troubles, Bill Perrins was a young man hell-bent on a career as a pilot. He made it through RAF pilot training—thanks more, perhaps, to sheer determination than aptitude—and finally graduated to the role of Vulcan pilot in time to take part in the 1982 Falklands War. After the RAF, Bill entered the world of commercial aviation, flying Boeing 747s and Dreamliners on long-haul, though he still found time to pilot the world’s only privately owned nuclear bomber, the mighty Vulcan XH558, at air shows, along with P51 Mustangs, Yaks and the legendary Spitfire. Way back in his boyhood, the fantasy of one day flying the Spitfire was where it had all begun—and it did not disappoint. From Vulcan to Spitfire and Back: A Life in Aviation is a humorous, unguarded, and often self-deprecating account of what it was like to be part of an RAF squadron during the Cold War—everything from burning pianos to a mid-air collision in a Tornado. It is also about the simple joys of flying, whether in the cockpit of the enormous delta-winged Vulcan or behind the sprightly controls of the inimitable Spitfire, and the camaraderie that comes with it, both in military and civil aviation.
Mary Neal and the Suffragettes Who Saved Morris Dancing
At the beginning of the 20th century Morris dancing had all but died out in much of England. It was militant suffragettes and slum girls who kick-started the revival that returned the forgotten dances of the countryside to towns and villages across the nation. As a result of their commitment to preserve and pass on the dances, the Morris survived as a living tradition that is still performed to this day. And the impetus to do so came from the women’s aspiration to change society for the better, the same impetus that drove them to militant action and to prison.The Morris revival and the militant suffrage movement were inextricably linked. The leader of the dance revival, Mary Neal, was a life-long radical campaigner for the rights of women and children. With her friend Emmeline Pethick she ran the Esperance Girls’ Club in one of London’s most deprived areas. She and Emmeline both sat on the national committee of Mrs Pankhurst’s militant Women’s Social and Political Union, the most notorious of the groups campaigning for the vote for women.The women’s embrace of traditional dance was rooted in Mary’s aspirations for equality and her commitment to social and political reform. The beginning of the dance revival and the launch of the militant suffragette campaign in London coincided almost exactly. Launched by a rather forlorn band of rebels, the WSPU grew into a movement capable of inspiring loyalty and loathing in equal measure. The Morris revival developed from an entertainment in a club for impoverished girls into a nationwide initiative. Mary and Emmeline’s associates in the dance revival ranged from young girls who worked in the militant campaign’s offices to hunger-striking daughters of the aristocracy.Mary and Emmeline provided the leadership and commitment that enabled two radical movements to flourish in the early years of the 20th century, but both found themselves marginalised after policy disagreements – with the folklorist Cecil Sharp and Mrs Pankhurst respectively - led to devastating splits in their respective organisations. Both then found themselves misrepresented and written out of the histories of movements which might never have got off the ground without them. Only in recent decades have women begun to reclaim their place in the Morris dance movement, the very existence of which is a legacy of the militant campaign for the vote.
Sir Walter Raleigh
Dispersed throughout the centuries and across the globe – a sleepy Devonshire village, a 1950s Hollywood film set, a horse hurtling on a Victorian racecourse, the Beatles meditating in India, a border dispute in South America, and a storm raging in the Outer Banks of North Carolina in 1993… they all lead back to Sir Walter Raleigh. He is the man of paradoxes: the outsider who wanted access to the royal court, a monarchist who later became a republican hero, a lover and a fighter, a pirate and a poet, the last great Elizabethan superstar and the first victim of the Stuart dynasty. Let’s chart his rise, his fall, and his legacy.
The History of the Border Collie
Although this is a general history of this multi-dimensional breed the name Border Collie never came into being till 1915. Yet always there was a supernatural Collie servant to farmers shepherds and the people of the land. This dog’s fate was spliced with our own in the battle to survive. Now from our modern perspective, we can see why the Border Collie can diversify into carrying out tasks other than gathering sheep. The beginning of the Border Collie came about on the Borders of England and Scotland when its canine ancestors arrived with the invading Roman legions out of the mists of antiquity. Our Search is deeper into why many say that Border Collies have the supernatural ability to know what their handlers are going to do next. Their sense to predict the movements of sheep or livestock is not limited by their working day. Many owners have commented that their Border Collies know extra things like if someone is not coming home or if there is something wrong. Yet these abilities may well be rooted in its hyper development through selective breeding when standard herding breeds in Britain were forged together to create this super dog. Much of the British economy during the 19th and 20th Century could not have happened without this stalwart servant of the people. The Border Collie has an inner super dog inside its black and white and multi-coloured coat driven not by aggression but by the unconditional love for its human family.
Richard III in the North
Richard III is England’s most controversial king. Forever associated with the murder of his nephews, the Princes in the Tower, he divides the nation. As spectacular as his death at Bosworth in August 1485 – the last king of England to die in battle – the astonishing discovery of his bones under a Leicester car park five centuries later renewed interest in him and re-opened old debates. Is he the world’s most wicked uncle; or is he (in the words of the man who most smeared him) ‘a prince more sinned against than sinning’?Richard was not born in the North; neither did he die there, but this detailed look at his life, tracing his steps over the thirty-three years that he lived, focuses on the area that he loved and made his own. As Lord of the North, he had castles at Middleham and Sheriff Hutton, Penrith and Sandal. He fought the Scots along the northern border and on their own territory. His son was born at Middleham and was invested as Prince of Wales at York Minster, where Richard planned to set up a college of 100 priests.His white boar device can be found in obscure corners of churches and castles; his laws, framed in the single parliament of his short reign, gave rights to the people who served him and loved him north of the Trent. And when he felt threatened or outnumbered by his enemies during the turbulent years of the Wars of the Roses, it was to the men of the North that he turned for support and advice. They became his knights of the body; members of the Council of the North which outlived Richard by a 150 years. They died with him at Bosworth.Although we cannot divorce Richard from the violent politics of the day or from events that happened far to the South, it was in the North that Richard’s heart lay.The North was his home. It was the place he loved.
Poradca 11-12/2026 - Zákon o sociálnom poistení – zákon s komentárom
Zákon o sociálnom poistení prechádza pravidelnými úpravami, ktoré reagujú na ekonomický vývoj, infláciu a potreby trhu práce. Najvýznamnejšie zmeny účinné od roku 2026 sa dotýkajú najmä výšky odvodov, postavenia SZČO a vyplácania dávok. Jednou z hlavných zmien je zvýšenie maximálneho vymeriavacieho základu, z ktorého sa platia odvody.
Titul obsahuje úplné znenie zákona po novelách s komentárom:
Zákon o sociálnom poistení – zákon s komentárom
V roku 2026 sa táto hranica maximálneho vymeriavacieho základu zvýšila, čo znamená vyššie maximálne odvody pre zamestnancov, zamestnávateľov aj SZČO. Novinkou je zavedenie novej oznamovacej povinnosti pre niektoré SZČO, ktoré musia oznámiť začatie alebo ukončenie činnosti Sociálnej poisťovni v stanovenej lehote. V oblasti zamestnancov došlo k zrušeniu výnimiek z platenia poistného v určitých situáciách. Po novom sa poistné platí aj v prípadoch, keď zamestnanec dosahuje príjem počas niektorých sociálnych udalostí. Dôležitou zmenou je aj valorizácia dôchodkov, ktoré sa v roku 2026 zvýšili o 3,7 % v závislosti od inflácie. Okrem toho sa modernizuje systém dávok, napríklad digitalizáciou žiadostí o ošetrovné (OČR), čo zjednodušuje komunikáciu medzi lekárom, zamestnávateľom a poisťovňou. Celkovo tieto zmeny smerujú k zvýšeniu príjmov systému sociálneho poistenia, zjednodušeniu administratívy a prispôsobeniu systému aktuálnym ekonomickým podmienkam. Na druhej strane však znamenajú aj vyššie finančné zaťaženie najmä pre živnostníkov a osoby s vyššími príjmami.
The Edwardians
In January 1901, Edward VII, then the longest-waiting monarch to ascend to the British throne, succeeded his mother, Queen Victoria, who had reigned over a growing empire for 63 years.Edward’s reign would be much shorter – only nine years – but it was a period of British history that saw life change rapidly for those who now lived in the Edwardian Era.It began when Britain was at war in South Africa, and it lasted longer than the monarch whose name it took. It would be brought to its end by the advent of a much greater and more terrible conflictThe Edwardians: Life and Times of the Golden Age takes us on a journey through those first few years of the 20th century, when it can be said that modern Britain began to take shape.New technology – new modes of transport, new labour-saving devices – affected everyday life. There were new attitudes to social welfare, and reforms were introduced in a bid to improve the lot of even the poorest in society – albeit the picture often painted of Edwardian tea parties on the lawn on lazy summer days was still reserved for relatively few people in a Britain, which many now regard as the last great hurrah of the aristocracy in their so-called Golden Age.The Edwardians: Life and Times of the Golden Age tells the story of life in Britain – at the beginning of Edward’s reign over the most powerful nation on Earth – through the events, great and small, of what has also been known as the ‘Age of Optimism’.
The Full Story of the Air and Sea Battles of the Falklands War
Despite the Falklands War between Argentina and the UK lasting only ten weeks, it still had an enduring impact on military technology worldwide. Not since the Second World War had two capable navies and air forces clashed in open ocean. In a logistical master class, the British mustered 115 ships with no warning and sent them 8,000 miles south within days/ weeks. They initiated their campaign by sinking a large Argentine warship with a nuclear-powered submarine (SSN); the only time this has happened. It was also the first time that sea-skimming anti-ship missiles dominated naval tactics. In addition to this, the British launched an amphibious landing in the jet era, with only 28 serviceable Harrier fighters against 112 fighter jets – it was also the first time air-to-air combat depended entirely on a fighter aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing (the Harrier). On the first day of Britain’s recovery effort, an RAF Vulcan bomber dropped twenty-one bombs to get one on target. After considerable ‘research under fire’, on the war’s last full day an RAF Harrier dropped a single laser guided bomb and scored a bullseye. As such, the war marks an important transition in British aviation technology. While both sides had six ships sunk, the British use of SSNs forced the entire Argentine navy to retreat to port. High British ship losses remain controversial, and they are compared here with losses in Operation Pedestal, the long-range naval action on a similar scale to save Malta in the Second World War. Losses were overall lower in the Falklands War, and the reasons behind this are discussed. The book also reveals what might have happened if the Argentine dictators had launched their war several months later, as originally considered.
Black Redcoats
During the Anglo-American War of 1812, British forces launched hundreds of amphibious raids on the United States. The richest parts of the United States were slave-states, and thousands of enslaved African Americans fled to British forces in what was to be the largest emancipation of enslaved Americans until the abolition of slavery in the USA. From these refugees from slavery, the British built a force - the Corps of Colonial Marines. Black redcoats, they were a fusion of two great American fears, the return of the British King and an uprising by their own oppressed slaves. The Corps of Colonial Marines turned Britain's campaign on America's coasts from one of harassment to one of existential threat to the new nation. Although small in number, the Colonial Marines - fighting to liberate their own families as much as for Great Britain - exerted a massive psychological impact on the United States which paralysed American resistance with fear of a widespread slave uprising, and allowed British forces in the Chesapeake to burn down Washington DC. As well as examining this little-remembered part of British military and African-American history, this book will also look to the post-war history of the Colonial Marines, their continued survival as a unique ethnic group in the Caribbean today, and their involvement in the largest act of armed African-American resistance to slavery. The "Battle of Negro Fort" in 1816 was the only time American forces left American territory to destroy a fugitive slave community - a community led by former Colonial Marines who, when faced with American attack, raised the British flag. This book brings black history to the fore of the War of 1812, and gives a voice to those enslaved people who - amidst great power competition between a slave-holding Republic and a slave-holding Empire – demonstrated exceptional bravery and initiative to gain precious freedom for themselves and their descendants.
The Colonial First Ladies
The first three First Ladies were born decades long before the United States became “states”. As mature women, married to arguably the most prominent men of their generation, they became political figures whether they liked it or not. All three were among the most consequential First Ladies in American history. Martha Dandridge Washington, the quintessential domestic lady, gladly went wherever her husband asked - including regular sojourns encamped with the army during wartime. She also spent eight years in New York and Philadelphia, supervising comfort in the then-executive mansions, setting the tone for the office itself. Abigail Smith Adams, the brilliant and intellectual lady, endured long separations from her politically and diplomatically active husband, survived a harrowing ocean voyage and awakened to a European sophistication she could never have imagined. Her intelligence and insights set a benchmark for what a First Lady could achieve. Dolley Payne Madison, the delightful and socially talented lady, became the most famous American woman of her time. She lifted her reticent and intellectual husband to a prominence he might never have achieved alone. She put the role on the map forever. In their own ways, they are our collective national great-grandmothers, deserving of our admiration and affection. Treasure them.
A History of Romance Novels
When you pick up the latest Emily Henry novel, or settle in for an evening with the newest volume of your favorite romantasy, you are taking part in a process stretching back two millennia. The ancient Greeks considered it a highlight of one's life to hear with one's own ears the words of the great romantic poets of their day. The Romans enjoyed sprawling romantic epics that only reunited their lovers after continent-spanning struggles against foreign armies, pirates, and treacherous monarchs. The Middle Ages sung hushed stories of lust far from the ears of the Church, while its great poets probed the darker boundaries of courtly love, and the writers of the seventeenth century delighted in giving young women ten-volume romances, delivered over the course of a decade, to fill their bookshelves and lonely hours. Writing about love, its complexities, and resolutions, has been a part of the literary tradition since its inception, but it is only in the last three centuries that the format has grown into the publishing juggernaut we know today. From the intensely observed novels of Jane Austen, through the great Sensation Novels of the 1860s that fused romance and mystery, and into the great industrial and marketing machine that was Mills & Boon and Harlequin at their height, new developments in publishing have linked up with new ideas about womanhood, sex, and romance, to produce an ever-evolving approach to the romance novel, culminating in our own modern Golden Age, where more people from more backgrounds are writing more types of romance than ever before for a readership than is larger than it has ever been, and is consuming its favourite literary form in convenient new formats. A History of Romance Novels: From Trembling Innocents to Hunky Werewolves explores the long story of our love affair with love stories, during both its eras of creative flourishing, and the long periods of industrially motivated stagnation, to give even the most dedicated romance reader a few new veins to mine, and a few more characters to fall in love with.
ShipCraft 35 - British Anti-Aircraft Cruisers
The ‘ShipCraft’ series provides in-depth information about building and modifying model kits of famous warship types. Lavishly illustrated, each book takes the modeller through a brief history of the subject, highlighting differences between ships and changes in their appearance over their careers. This includes paint schemes and camouflage, featuring colour profiles and highly detailed line drawings and scale plans. The modelling section reviews the strengths and weaknesses of available kits, lists commercial accessory sets for super-detailing of the subjects, and provides hints on modifying and improving the basic kit. This is followed by an extensive photographic gallery of selected high-quality models in a variety of scales, and the book concludes with a section on research references – books, monographs, large-scale plans and relevant websites. This volume completes Les Brown’s coverage of British cruisers of the Second World War, concentrating on ships with a primarily anti-aircraft role. It begins with the innovative inter-war conversions of old ‘C’ class ships and moves on to the Dido class – not originally designed as AA ships but armed with a new 5.25in dual-purpose gun that made them effective air-defence ships. Also included are the small number of merchant ships converted to cruiser-standard AA ships. With its unparalleled level of visual information – paint schemes, models, line drawings and photographs – this book is simply the best reference for any modelmaker setting out to build one of these famous cruisers.
The Other Fuhrer: Muck-Lamberty and Adolf Hitler
Germany 1920. A new political movement is born. It is led by a charismatic ex-serviceman whose aim is to create a ‘National Community’ in the war-devastated country. His followers call him ‘Führer.’ But this is not Adolf Hitler. His name is Friedrich Lamberty, better known as Muck, and his methods are very different from Hitler’s. He and his followers, who call themselves the New Crowd, trek through the centre of Germany singing, dancing and playing with local people. By the end of 1920 they have brought hundreds of thousands of people out of their homes to join in a ‘revolution of the soul.’ But then an unexpected and shocking development causes the New Crowd to break up. Muck disappears from the scene as quickly as he arrived. The story of Muck-Lamberty’s rise and fall, told here for the first time in English, throws new light on Germany in the early twentieth century. It examines the country’s unique youth movement, the impact on young people of world war and revolution, the strange post-war dance craze, the revolution in sexual behaviour, and the development of new ways of thinking about what it meant to be German - and Jewish. In each of these areas, Muck-Lamberty is compared with Adolf Hitler to find out why he was initially more successful than the Nazi leader, but then failed to establish himself as a ‘Führer.’
Stack
Neville Stack was once one of Britain’s favourite aviators. He came to fame as the first man to fly a light plane to India. And, having been honoured by the king for that achievement, he followed it with more than a decade of derring-do. Stack circled the Med, crossed Arabia countless times, and even flew down to Banjul. He served in both World Wars and all three branches of the Armed Forces, broke record after record, and had his own flying circus. He piloted a prime minister, the Shoe King, and the odd sultan. But he also crashed more often than he was willing to admit, wrote bawdy songs – and recorded them, too – and played a controversial role in the Spanish Civil War. And he left behind a rich chronicle of his exploits, including newspaper articles, a memoir in song, and flight commentaries actually dictated in mid-air. Drawing upon that chronicle, and also upon British Government files and a host of other fascinating sources, this book takes a close look at Captain Stack’s life and flights. It talks about his aeroplanes and his friends, who included Amy Johnson, Sir Alan Cobham, and the treacherous Master of Sempill. It goes back to the places he saw first-hand. And it tells the full story of his final, tragic fall from grace. Exuberant, colourful, and ever so light on its feet, STACK provides an intimate and singular account of one of the true heroes of flying’s Golden Age.
