Simón de Colonia (Burgos, hacia 1450 - Burgos, 1511) fue un arquitecto y escultor español, hijo del arquitecto gótico Juan de Colonia y padre del también arquitecto y escultor Francisco de Colonia.

Biografía
Se desconoce su fecha de nacimiento -algunos escriben "hacia 1450", dado que el matrimonio de sus padres consta ya en 1454-, y la de su muerte (con mayor probabilidad se estima el año de 1511, a finales, pues el 28 de noviembre de 1511 aparece como maestro de la catedral su primogénito Francisco). Hijo del arquitecto Juan de Colonia y de la burgalesa María Fernández, tuvo cinco hermanos (uno de ellos, Diego, también arquitecto).

Desde 1481 figura como maestro de la catedral de Burgos (sucede así a su padre). Casó, primero, con María Sánchez, con la que tuvo siete hijos: Francisco, Diego, María, Jerónimo, Ximón, Pedro e Isabel. En segundas nupcias lo hizo con Mencía de San Martín, de la que no tuvo descendencia. A finales del siglo XV vivía el cantero en la plaza de la Coronería (hoy calle de Fernán González).

Labor arquitectónica

Su obra más conocida es la capilla del Condestable de la catedral de Burgos, aunque también trabajó en otros importantes edificios como la cartuja de Miraflores (iniciada por su padre), la capilla de la Concepción también de la Catedral de Burgos, la ampliación de la iglesia de San Juan de Ortega, la reforma de la iglesia del monasterio de San Pedro de Arlanza, la iglesia de Santa María (Aranda de Duero), el coro alto de la iglesia de San Esteban de Burgos (1502) o el claustro del monasterio de San Salvador de Oña (encomendado por el abad Andrés Gutiérrez de Cerezo).

Fuera de Burgos intervino en diversas obras; así, en 1496 participa en las de San Juan de los Reyes de Toledo, o entre 1497 y 1502 trabaja en la edificación de la Catedral de Sevilla.

Los planos del Convento de La Merced de Burgos pueden corresponder a él, o quizá a su hijo Francisco.

Labor escultórica
Según Bango Torviso: Nadie ha sido capaz de definir de una manera precisa y convincente cual es la forma de esculpir de Simón; las afirmaciones a este respecto no dejan de ser meras vaguedades. En la documentación, los referentes como oficio que aparecen son el de maestro de obras o el de cantero. Como la arquitectura religiosa de la época incluía una cantidad importante de escultura monumental, Simón contaba en su taller con oficiales a sus órdenes que se encargaban de labrar sus proyectos.

Decoró profusamente sus arquitecturas y mostró un marcado gusto germánico. El mejor ejemplo de esta decoración monumental es la capilla del Condestable de la catedral de Burgos, que tanto en su interior como en el exterior muestra imponentes blasones con tenantes y una multitud de figuras.

Se le atribuyen también, dentro de la catedral, los sepulcros de Pedro Fernández de Villegas y de Gonzalo Alonso.

En Valladolid colaboró con otros artistas en la portada principal de la iglesia del convento dominico de San Pablo y se encargó de las portadas de la capilla del colegio de San Gregorio y de la capilla nueva del Crucifijo, en el mismo convento de San Pablo. No se conservan ni el sepulcro de fray Alonso de Burgos ni el retablo mayor de la iglesia, que debían de ser dos obras más que notables.

Credit Suisse bank pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring to aid Americans evade taxes by hiding their wealth in undisclosed Credit Suisse accounts. The guilty plea underscores the vulnerability of parent banks and their subsidiaries, and indicates that all are subject to the United State's prosecution efforts in this regard. Credit Suisse, as part of yesterday's guilty plea, admitted to helping Americans conceal their wealth from the United States government, and will pay $2.6 Billion in fines and penalties to the Federal and New York State governments. The plea saves Credit Suisse from potentially losing its license to operate in the United States, a power Federal regulators may exercise over violator banks. The criminal charges were also prompted as a result of actions taken by the bank to impede the federal investigation, including failing to comply with investigators' requests for employee interviews, delays in providing requested documents, and destruction of relevant e-mail communications. France's largest bank, BNP, is expected to enter a similar guilty plea in the next few weeks.
Interestingly, the guilty plea entered into by Credit Suisse does not require the bank to provide names of its American account holders, an element receiving criticism by lawmakers wanting future compliance from the banking industry. However, a new law independent from this guilty plea that takes effect this summer likely renders this negotiating point moot, as Credit Suisse, and all banks, stand to lose significant investment income for failing to share such information with the United States.
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2010 (FATCA) requires foreign banks, investment funds, and insurers to enter into information-sharing agreements with the Internal Revenue Service under which the institutions will turn over account and holder information for accounts with amounts greater than $50,000 held by U.S. citizens.
Failing to comply with these information-sharing requirements, which take effect July 1, 2014, results in a 30% withholding tax on the institution's investment income. The institutions operating in countries that have failed to enter into such information-sharing agreements with the United States must comply and deal with the IRS directly, or face the same stiff penalty. This puts them in a difficult situation, since compliance with the IRS could violate the foreign country's local privacy or state secrecy laws.
These guilty pleas and new law indicate an increased focus by the Internal Revenue Service to ensure Americans report all their taxable income, and eliminate any opportunities for concealing wealth and evading their tax liabilities.
For decades, the Internal Revenue Service has attempted to create information-sharing treaties with foreign companies to ensure U.S. citizen tax compliance. U.S. citizens who maintain foreign bank accounts without ever reporting income to the IRS and who rely on foreign countries' bank secrecy laws to ensure the bank accounts will go undetected by the U.S. Government are now at risk of severe penalties and possible criminal charges once banks begin to release information pursuant to the new law.
Currently, the Internal Revenue Service offers an Offshore Voluntary Disclosure program, allowing eligible taxpayers who come forward to avoid criminal prosecution and severe penalties, but requires them to pay back taxes, some penalties and interest.
For more information on eligibility requirements for the IRS Offshore Voluntary Compliance Initiative, or other tax issues, contact us for a free consultation with an experienced Criminal Tax Attorney.

SWBAT create and identify polyhedra.
Students match different nets to their polyhedra.
I will post two polyhedra on the board for the Do Now problem (See Polyhedra Do Now). Students will had to categorize the polyhedra and describe the characteristics that helped them categorize them.
Students will have 5 minutes for the Do Now and then we will discuss the solids as a class. I will randomly select students to share their answers.
Students should categorize the first solid as a pentagonal pyramid. The characteristics are: triangular sides, one polygon base with an opposite vertex, and a base that is a pentagon.
Students should categorize the second solid as an octagonal prism. The characteristics are: rectangular sides and two octagonal bases that are parallel to one another.
In the previous lesson, students learned important vocabulary and the characteristics of pyramids and prisms. For this activity, students will explore these solids to help reinforce their knowledge.
Students will be paired, with a high level and low level math student together. This will promote discussion and questioning among the pairs. Each pair will use a laptop computer. I will post the Interactive 3D Shapes website on the board. Students will have 10 minutes to explore the different types of prisms and pyramids. They should focus on the characteristics of the polyhedra and their nets.
As students review the website, I will circulate throughout the pairs monitoring their focus and answering/asking questions.
Students will have 10 minutes to complete the steps above. It is helpful to have an example polyhedron to show students what the end result will look like.
After 10 minutes, we will reconvene as a class. Together we will complete the Polyhedra Table based on students observations. For each polyhedron, I will ask students to share how many edges, faces and vertices they counted. There are several students with each polyhedron who should be able to confirm the count.
As a class, we will complete the Polyhedra Activity based on students observations. For each polyhedron, I will ask students to share how many edges, faces and vertices they counted. There are several students with each polyhedron who should be able to confirm the count.
As we complete the table, students may start to notice a pattern/rule.
Can you figure out a relationship between the number of faces, vertices and edges of 3-Dimensional Figures?
Students may observe that if we add the number of faces and vertices and subtract 2, we will have the number of edges. This will lead to Euler's Formula.
Students will complete the Nets Worksheet as an exit ticket. They will identify the polyhedron for each net. This will assess how well students understand the relationship between nets and polyhedra.
The results of the exit ticket will determine future groupings and which students need additional help with nets.

As a new belief of third millennium declaring the best way of life, Standard Humanism introduces and advances A New Political System, so by adopting and matching it any nation would pass backwardness and mismanagements inherited in its country and walk the way of a brilliant society being by maintaining and respecting the five major facts of human life (politics, beliefs, cultures, economics and sciences...) which save the rights and wills of all people and groups in any human society.
The functions of the parliament would cover five important departments of: 1. Legislation, 2. planning, and investigation and control over the affairs of plan execution, 3. Security, 4. Finance, and 5. International relations…. Committees of parliament in this system are of utmost importance.
(The key-role of the branches of five departments of Worldwide Standard Human Society here is of highly significance as they enable countries of the world adopted political system of Standard Humanism to correct and purify their having even before constructing WSHS Organization; political system of Standard Humanism is the saver of poor and back-warded countries and the improver of modern ones).
Parliament here has the supreme authority and the Executive - by the function of the executing the affairs of the country with the help of private sectors - has a kind of nominal head! by the name of prime minister appointed from the members of parliament and accountable to it, (In this system the position of prime minister differs to what in normal parliamentary systems is)... The executive would not be equal to the legislature but subordinate to it, preventing the country fall in the evil of party system and naturally power-seeking for the sake of a group and not the nation….
As political parties are of supreme importance in the world of Satanic 10 percent, oppose to it in the world of pure rationality, knowledge and powerful administration of Standard Humanism the members of head of the nations would be chosen among the wisest and purest human beings administering the affairs of the states out of any power-seeking and mismanagement! The members of parliament as supreme organ of the state are not chosen and elected out of political parties but the professors of the universities... with having special knowledge and experiences understanding the best ideals of the country.
Supreme Court and police as the guardian of constitution are of a powerful check against the arbitrary of the parliament. At the same time media, public opinion, pressure groups, organizations and institutions of the state as the best checks will keep the order in the sake of constitutionalism.
By the time of establishing the Worldwide Standard Human Society the States would be in best compatibility to it and all human affairs would run in its easy and most effective way….
The whole text and discussion regarding the proposed political system of Standard Humanism is available in the book of 'Standard Humanism and Worldwide Standard Human Society'.
