Cess

Cess is a tax.

It was the official term used in Ireland when it was part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, but has been superseded by "rate". The term was formerly particularly applied to local taxation.

In colonial India it was applied, with a qualifying prefix, to any taxation, such as irrigation-cess, educational-cess, and the like. They are collectively referred to as "cesses" in government censuses, e.g. "land revenue and cesses".

In modern India, it refers to a tax earmarked for a particular purpose, such as education.

In Scotland, it refers to the property tax which was enacted in Scotland in 1665 and continued to be levied through the 18th century.

The term is used by the rubber industry in Thailand to refer to Rubber Export Tax, which funds that country's Office of Rubber Replanting Aid Fund.

It has also been used by the Jamaican Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries to denote a tariff on imports

The term is a shortened form of "assess"; the spelling is due to a mistaken connection with census.

Glossary of rail transport terms

Rail terminology is a form of technical terminology. The difference between the American term railroad and the international term railway (used by the International Union of Railways and English-speaking countries outside the US) is the most significant difference in rail terminology. There are also others, due to the parallel development of rail transport systems in different parts of the world.

Various terms are presented here; where a term has multiple names, this is indicated. The abbreviation "UIC" refers to standard terms adopted by the International Union of Railways in its official publications and thesaurus.

    by: Zazie

    Mets-toi tout nu, si t'es un homme.
    Histoire de voir où nous en sommes.
    Qu'on me donne un primate.
    Sans cravate.
    Un Zorro.
    Sans rien sur le dos...
    t'es bien plus beau comme ça.
    Un point c'est tout.
    Un point c'est toi.
    Je t'aime comme ça.
    Un point c'est tout.
    Un point c'est toi.
    Sans artifice.
    Où est le vice...
    enlève la tenue.
    Si t'es un homme.
    Qui peut le plus.
    Peut le minimum.
    Et comme ça.
    Tu restes la faiblesse.
    De mon for intérieur.
    Et moi, maîtresse.
    En ta demeure...
    t'es bien plus mâle comme ça.
    Un point c'est tout.
    Un point c'est toi.
    Je t'aime comme ça.

    Sans dessus, ni dessous.
    Et puis c'est tout.
    Et c'est comme ça...
    gageons que tes états sauvages.
    Feront moins de ravages.
    Que tes plumes de paon.
    Quand toi Tarzan.
    Moi j'aime.
    Quand tu tiens d'Adam.
    Moi je tiens à toi.
    t'es bien plus beau comme ça.
    Un point c'est tout.
