Caia, Mozambique
Caia is a town on the south bank of the Zambezi River in Sofala Province, Mozambique. It is a relatively small town with few modern facilities besides a petrol station and the neighbouring bank. Caia and surrounding communities have been experiencing an escalating HIV/AIDS epidemic, drawing national and foreign aid to the area, including a Canadian foundation called the Caia Connection based in Vila de Sena, 57.6 Kilometres north of Caia. Transportation In March 2007, construction commenced on what would be the longest road bridge to span the Zambezi. The bridge over the Zambezi was officially opened on August 1, 2009, and with some controversy, was named after the current president of Mozambique, Armando Emilio Guebuza. With a length of 2376 metres and width of 16 m it will be longer than the bridges at Tete and Katima Mulilo, exceeded only by the Dona Ana Bridge, which has been restored as a rail only bridge. The anticipated bridge was crucial in linking the Sofala Province ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Caia (river)
The Caia () is a river in the Iberian Peninsula, a tributary to the Guadiana. It is one of the main water courses in the Portalegre District, Portugal. Portugal does not recognise the border between the Caia and Ribeira de Cuncos River deltas, since the beginning of the 1801 occupation of Olivenza by Spain. This territory, though under ''de facto'' Spanish occupation, remains a ''de jure'' part of Portugal, consequently no border is henceforth recognised in this area. Course It has its sources in the Serra de São Mamede and for the lower of its course it forms the international Portugal-Spain border. Finally it joins the Guadiana River southwest of the city of Badajoz.

Caia (plant)
''Caia'' is a genus of small fossil plants of Late Silurian age (around ). The diagnostic characters are naked parallel-sided axes branching isotomously, terminating in vertically elongate sporangia (spore-forming organs) which bear spinous emergences particularly at the distal ends. Spores are trilete and retusoid. The only known species is from Hereford, England. Cladistic analysis suggests that the genus may belong to the Horneophytopsida, a class of the polysporangiophytes, as it lacks vascular tissue and has branched stems bearing sporangia. For the cladogram, see the Horneophytopsida The Horneophytopsida, informally called horneophytes, are a class of extinct plants which consisted of branched stems without leaves, true roots or vascular tissue, found from the Late Silurian to the Early Devonian (around ).

Caia (music)
Caia , pronounced "ch-AYE-ah", is a collaborative effort of electronica artists Maiku Takahashi and Andy Cato of Groove Armada and The Weekend Players. Their only known album, ''The Magic Dragon'', was released in April 2003. The first track on the album, ''The Rose Room'''s drum beat has a bass-rich sound and synth, with ambient voices and a calming sound. ''Remembrance'' is a 7-minute-long instrumental that has light electric piano sounds and a dreamy synth, with ambient voices calling out from the background. Following that is ''The Love Room'', which has a sound similar to that of ''The Rose Room'' with its bass rich drum beat, but has a bit of a darker, minor sound compared to the light, major chords ever-present in ''The Rose Room'' and ''Remembrance.'' The fourth track, ''Summer Lightning'', is aptly named, for its dreamy bongo-esque drum beat and light dreamy instrumental noise about it. ''La Telecabine'' has a light sound that escalates to a pounding drum beat with dreamy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Capital Allowances For Intangible Assets
The Double Irish arrangement was a base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) corporate tax avoidance tool used mostly by United States multinationals since the late 1980s to avoid corporate taxation on non-U.S. profits. It was the largest tax avoidance tool in history and by 2010 was shielding US$100 billion annually in US multinational foreign profits from taxation, and was the main tool by which US multinationals built up untaxed offshore reserves of US$1 trillion from 2004 to 2018. Traditionally, it was also used with the Dutch Sandwich BEPS tool; however, 2010 changes to tax laws in Ireland dispensed with this requirement. Despite US knowledge of the Double Irish for a decade, it was the European Commission that in October 2014 forced Ireland to close the scheme, starting in January 2015. However, users of existing schemes, such as Apple, Google, Facebook and Pfizer, were given until January 2020 to close them. At the announcement of the closure it was known that multin ...
