Interest and penalties. In my April 2003 FORUM column (Penalties and Interest), I discussed the interest and penalties exigible under the Income Tax Act for late-filing a tax return or late-payment of tax owing.
Patmos. Patmos is a small Greek island in the Aegean Sea. One of the northernmost islands of the Dodecanese complex, it has a population of 2,998 and an area of 34.05 kmÂ².
The word rock is petra, which means a rock; a cliff; a projecting rock; mother rock; huge mass; solid formation; fixed; immovable; enduring. The word petros for Peter in the Greek is in the masculine gender and the word petra for the rock is in the feminine gender. Petros and petra are two distinct words in the Greek. Petros is a shifting, rolling, or insecure stone, while petra is a solid, immovÂ­able rock. In the English language the gender is not specified by the article. We say the fork, the spoon, and the knife. The three words have the same article.
