Too many entrepreneurs fall into the trap of being so enamored with their technology or widget, that they spend 55 minutes on how great their technology platform is, and only the last 5 minutes on how they are going to monetize it. Of course, there are always exceptions, but given time and resources (cash) your technology CAN be duplicated, and if it's a good idea, count on it. You stand a better chance if you split up your pitch into two sections, 1. technology and 2. business model. Take the time to be as much of an enthusiastic expert in your market segment as you are on your technology platform. Bottom line, VC's want to know how you are going to make them rich, period.

Founded in 2005 by a team of young professionals, Mazatech is a software company focused on the development of innovative solutions for 2D vector graphics realtime rendering. 2D vector graphics grants far superior versatility respect to raster graphics: using mathematical equations to represent drawings, it makes the graphics freely scalable to any size, without sacrifice visual quality. This becomes of fundamental importance when there is the need to run applications across a wide range of devices with different native resolution displays.
We recognize open standards as the key factor for the development of successful applications; so we actively support vector graphics industry standards such as Khronos' OpenVG and W3C's SVG with our solutions: AmanithVG and AmanithSVG.
In order to satisfy the need to have the total control over the software, the complete source code is always available as a licensing option. In addition Mazatech is ready to deliver custom solution to address specific needs, such as the conversion of critical portions of code to MISRA standard.
Written in pure ANSI C/C++ with minimal external dependencies, Mazatech's software targets desktop: Windows, OSX, Linux, mobile: iOS, Android, embedded: Linux, QNX and even bare-metal platforms, supporting x86, x86_64, arm, armv7, aarch64, ppc, mips architectures out of the box. This makes the software really portable: not even POSIX is required.
All Mazatech's software is written with low resources platforms in mind: not only is the memory managed to ensure that not a single byte is wasted, but also to allow the dynamic recovery of memory areas no longer used. In addition, the memory allocation API is fully abstracted to allow an easy integration of custom memory managers.
AmanithVG is a 2D vector graphics library that implements OpenVG 1.1: the standard, royalty-free, cross-platform API for hardware accelerated 2D vector and raster graphics, created by Khronos group; AmanithVG comes with two different rendering backends: SRE (pure software) and GLE (OpenGL|ES aided) in order to provide the highest rendering quality at top speed on any device.
The library is witten in ANSI C and depends on a very limited set of standard libc functions, that can be easily mapped to custom functions, to be portable even on bare metal platforms.
AmanithSVG is a middleware for reading and rendering SVG files, available as a standalone native library and as Unity plugin; AmanithSVG is based on static features of SVG Tiny 1.2, plus some static features of SVG Full 1.1.
The library is written in ANSI C++ and depends on AmanithVG SRE for the rendering and on PugiXML for XML parsing.

2. Be reasonable in your demands.
Teach your players that understanding and playing by the rules is their own responsibility and that the rules exist for the safety, proper order and enjoyment of everyone involved in basketball. The lessons to be learned in this respect in basketball are lessons that can and should be carried over into all aspects of their lives. Do not encourage players to ignore or deliberately break any rules.
Part of participation in sport is respect for all participants in the game. Encourage your players to accept that their opponents are entitled to proper courtesy. This means introducing themselves to their opponents on court, congratulating them whether they win or lose and accepting loss gracefully. Teach them that the opposition coach is trying to do the best for their team and is also entitled to respect.
6. Instill in your players respect for officials and acceptance of their judgment.
Players should be taught to understand that officials have a very difficult task to perform and that without them games could not be played. They are there to enforce the rules of play but they cannot always be right. Teach your players to accept bad calls graciously. Abuse of referees is unacceptable behaviour that should not be tolerated. Players who consistently dispute decisions or do not accept bad decisions should be singled out for counseling and guidance.
7. Guide your players’ interaction with media, parents and spectators.
It is sometimes very difficult for players to concentrate on the game when there is the distraction of the presence of friends and relatives as spectators. Coaches have a difficult role to play in teaching players respect for their parents and other spectators but also teaching them to maintain concentration on the team plan if spectators become over- enthusiastic.
Parents sometimes make demands on their children’s time that interferes in their basketball activities. Respect this and try to structure your coaching and their training and playing times and obligations to take those demands into account. There are many other factors that need to be balanced, including venue availability and requirements of administrators. The coach’s task is not easy.
In our increasingly litigious and accountable society, all those involved in sport have a responsibility to take all reasonable steps to ensure the safety and well being of participants. Coaches are in a unique position to control many of the factors that can have an effect on this welfare. Coaches should be aware of the dangers factors such as heat and dehydration, wet floors and other potentially hazardous environmental situations can cause. A coach has a responsibility to avoid putting players into dangerous conditions.
12. As well as imparting knowledge and skills, promote desirable personal and social behaviour.
Be aware of the role of the coach as an educator. Particularly with young people, the way they perform in their lives is influenced by many factors. An important influence is the person they see as a role model. Coaches often take on the part of role model for many young people. It is therefore important to ensure that the influence from coaches is seen in a positive light rather adversely. What you say and how you act can be most important in modeling the behaviour of players.
Physical contact between a coach and a player except that which would be considered usual social contact such as the shaking of a hand or a “high five” should be rare. Gestures that can be well meaning, or even considered by some to be acceptable, may be unacceptable to others. Sometimes physical contact can be misinterpreted as sexual harassment or even molestation. Particular care needs to be taken in coaching children. Ensure that if there is physical contact with a player that it is appropriate to the situation and necessary for the player’s skill development.
Regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background, religion or other factor irrelevant to the game, all persons connected with basketball are entitled to equal treatment and respect. Avoid any remarks that could be construed as offensive or discriminatory. Sometimes even a joke may give offence. Even if someone refers to himself or herself with a particular label, it should not be taken as an invitation for you to do so. Using discretion is imperative and it is better to err on the side of caution.

Learning Russian is not as much of a time commitment (and not as hard) as you might think. With Babbel, learning Russian online is easy, intuitive and under your control: learn at your own pace, choose the lessons you want, and review and practice vocabulary on the go. Although mastering the very different grammar, accent and pronunciation can be difficult at first, Babbel’s online courses and mobile apps include speech recognition so you can quickly become comfortable with speaking. Learn how to speak Russian and join more than 280 million people around the world who speak Russian fluently as their native or second language.
Russian is the most widely-spoken East Slavic language and also the most-spoken Slavic language overall. Although the Russian people are incredibly diverse, belonging to 160 different ethnic groups that speak 100 different languages, almost all of them also speak Russian. Millions of people in Belarus, Kazakhstan, the Ukraine, Latvia, Moldova, Estonia, Georgia and Armenia also speak the language, making Russian the lingua franca of most of Eastern Europe and Western Asia. Russian is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to learn the Slavic language with the biggest reach and influence. Read the guide below and then test your skills with a free Russian lesson.
Although you can start to learn how to say and understand simple words and phrases, you won’t get very far with the language until you learn the Russian alphabet. The alphabet uses cyrillic script, whose origin can be traced to ancient Greek. This is a useful clue since many Russian letters look exactly like their Greek counterparts which you might remember from math class. For example, the Greek ∏ (pi), the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, is exactly the same as the Russian П (pe), which makes a “p” sound. Similarly, the Greek Φ (phi) corresponds to the Russian Ф (ef), which sounds like an English “f”.
Some Russian letters look similar to Latin letters, but make different sounds. The Russian P,er , actually makes a rolled r sound; while И, i, is not a backwards N, but actually sounds like the e in “me”. If you can banish the ingrained associations of Latin letters from your mind, the Russian alphabet is easy to understand. Once you know this alphabet you will be ready to embark into exciting new language territory.
English is a Germanic/Romance hybrid (Germanic roots with Norse, French and Latin influence). Russian is an East Slavic language and has very little in common with English. For beginners trying to learn Russian, correctly pronouncing words can be a significant challenge. Russian has vocal sounds that don’t exist in English, like a greater variety of vowels and a subtle gradient of different sh sounds. With the help of Babbel’s speech recognition feature you will be able to practice your accent and help ensure that your Russian is understandable.
Russian grammar may at first seem strange to an English-speaker, but its rules are actually straightforward. Russian had six cases, which means that nouns, adjectives and pronouns can have six different endings. This may sound complicated, but because so much information is conveyed in the nouns, word order is not as strict as it is in English and you have no articles to memorize (compare that to having to memorize whether each German noun is either der, die, or das). Verb conjugation is very different from English, but far less irregular.
There are several options available when learning how to speak Russian: hiring a private tutor, enrolling in a language course (in school or online), studying alone with a CD-ROM or audio course, joining an exchange program, or practicing conversational Russian with a native speaker (a so-called tandem partner). All of these strategies can be effective, although some (tutors and CD-ROMS) can be expensive, while classes and exchange programs are also a huge time commitment. The fastest way to pick up Russian – and the biggest commitment by far – is still immersion. Moving to Russia requires you to pick up the language in order to live day-to-day. This survival pressure usually produces fluency within a few months, but not without a lot of stress and hard work. If you do plan to immerse yourself in Russian, it’s a very good idea to prepare beforehand with one of the methods mentioned above. If you don’t have much spare time, an online program like Babbel may be your best bet.
Babbel’s Russian course is affordable, accessible online and via mobile devices, and proven to strengthen your reading, listening, speaking and comprehension skills. As a Babbel user, you have access to a diverse program of grammar, conjugation, pronunciation, listening comprehension and writing exercises. Your Babbel.com account saves your progress in the cloud and the integrated Review Manager helps ensure that you don’t forget what you learn. So whether you are too busy for a language class, a complete beginner, needing to brush up before a vacation or business trip, or wanting to re-learn everything you forgot in high school, Babbel can be customized to your needs.
Try your first Russian lesson for free and discover Babbel’s easy and intuitive course system which determines your individual level and accommodates different learning styles. You can learn at your own pace, set your own lesson plans and receive helpful hints whenever you need them. You will also be joining an entire community of learners. Babbel users can easily share questions, experiences and advice via message boards and chat, and the Babbel support team is always only a message away.

The Trade Mark Law Modernization Act ("Markenrechtsmodernisierungsgesetz"), which entered into force on January 14, 2019, brought several amendments to the German Trade Mark Act.
Trademarks no longer need to be capable of being represented graphically. This makes it easier to provide a suitable representation for non-traditional marks, e.g. sound marks which are not music, multimedia marks, holograms and others by submitting an electronic file.
Certification marks have been introduced as a new trade mark category.
Protected geographical indications and protected designations of origin, wines and spirits protected under national or European legislation or agreements, traditional specialties and plant varieties constitute new absolute grounds for refusal. PGIs and PDOs can also be the basis of oppositions.
Licenses as well as the willingness to grant licenses or sell/transfer a trade mark can be recorded in the trade marks register.
For trade marks registered on or after January 14, 2019, the term of validity ends on the 10th anniversary of the application date, not on the last day of the month which concludes the 10-year period.
The list of goods and services will no longer be re-classified upon renewal.
An opposition may be based on several marks, upon payment of an additional fee. It is no longer necessary to file a separate opposition for each mark on which an opposition is to be based.
The parties in opposition proceedings may request a "cooling-off" period, which may be further extended upon joint request.
The period for which use of the earlier mark must be proven in opposition proceedings is five years before the application or priority date of the contested mark. It is no longer necessary to also prove use of the earlier mark during the five-year term before the final decision is rendered.
The five-year non-use grace period for a newly registered mark starts from the end of the opposition period or from the date the decision in the opposition proceedings becomes final. The non-use grace period start date and end date will be entered into the Register.

Identifying and optimising the factors that contribute to effective team work is a central alcohol and other drugs (AOD) workforce development strategy. Changing to team-based working arrangements has been linked with improved organisational performance and worker wellbeing.
The following three issues should be considered as central priorities when a new team is set-up, or when reviewing the effectiveness of an established team.
Effective teams have a "shared mission" that is identified by explicit team goals.
Careful thought and planning is required to ensure team membership achieves a balance between maintaining a manageable size, and inclusion of the required mix of skills, knowledge and experience.
In general, teams of 4-7 members are likely to be most effective. Groups of this size avoid difficulties with coordination, communication and decision-making that come with larger groups.
The organisational culture, policies and procedures support independent and innovative work practices.
A lack of clarity (ambiguity) regarding team members' roles and responsibilities can interfere with team effectiveness. Where some degree of role flexibility and overlap is required, it is important that a shared understanding is developed amongst team members of the boundaries of role flexibility (i.e., are certain tasks or roles "quarantined" for specific group members).
Three key workplace supports for teams are feedback, rewards and support.
Providing performance feedback: Effective teams need clear and timely performance feedback. Feedback should be provided to the team as a whole and to individual team members in terms of their contribution to team performance. It is recommended that feedback is provided on a private one-to-one basis to individual workers, and publicly for a group or team.
Providing rewards linked to performance outcomes: Recognising and rewarding high quality performance has an important influence on workers' job satisfaction and motivation. Rewards do not have to be financial. Most workers place importance on a range of outcomes that provide recognition and encouragement. Wherever possible, it is best to provide rewards and recognition to all team members based on the team's performance.
Allowing sufficient time for effective performance.
For more information about developing an effective team, please see Chapter 3 (pdf 1.6MB) of the TIPS Kit.

President Donald Trump has had a contentious first 124 days in office, but the new administration has assured the restaurant industry that there is a “method to the madness,” according to an educational session hosted Tuesday at the National Restaurant Association (NRA) Show in Chicago.
While little of the president’s campaign promises have been implemented or addressed, operators and employees should expect changes to take place as he settles into the new role, said Cicely Simpson, executive vice president of policy and government affairs at the NRA.
“They think they’re making good progress, and expect the employer community to be behind them,” Simpson said during the educational session.
From healthcare to tax reform, here’s a look at how some of Trump’s potential legislative targets might affect the restaurant industry.
While nothing has been done on the policy side addressing some of Trump’s promises on immigration—such as building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border—deportations have been increasing across the country.
“If you’re seeing these deportations in your community, please call us,” Simpson said, adding that Immigration and Customs Enforcement Raids have affected the industry, with both restaurateurs and employees being deported.
All of the activity surrounding deportations and raids, along with the potential for tumultuous results, has led Congress to back off from immigration policymaking in the short term.
It was one of Trump’s early campaign promises, but tax reform hasn’t been touched during his first 124 days. Still, conversations are ongoing in D.C. to make tax reform the next priority of the Trump administration.
One tax reform proposal that would be particularly impactful to restaurants is the border adjustment tax, which is intended to encourage U.S. production by giving tax breaks to companies that export goods and taxing imports.
Trump initially opposed the tax while House Republicans were in support, so its future remains uncertain. Tax reform may also hinge on the passage of Trump’s fiscal 2018 budget released Tuesday, which proposes to slash federal spending by $3.6 trillion over the next decade.
The overtime rule, which was approved last year under the Obama administration and increased the salary threshold at which overtime must be paid, remains in limbo pending court decisions, but has not been addressed by the new administration.
New labor secretary Alexander Acosta has expressed support for increasing the salary threshold from where it stands today ($24,000), but not to $47,476 as proposed by the Obama administration. A lower threshold would ease pressure on restaurant operators, who would have been forced to pay overtime to the majority of their employees under the Obama administration’s proposal.
The Trump administration may have poisoned the well by tackling healthcare so early on in the presidency instead of focusing on more amenable changes like infrastructure investments. “There’s so much ill will in Congress about starting with the healthcare law,” Simpson said.
The House narrowly passed the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) replacement earlier this month, and the plan awaits a potential overhaul in the Senate. The latest version of the proposed plan would repeal the employer mandate, while also offering companies a universal tax credit.
Trump’s budget, which assumes the Medicaid portion of the plan will be passed, cuts Medicaid by $800 billion over the next decade while also reducing funding for food stamps, Children’s Health Insurance Program, Social Security Disability Insurance, and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.

In the past decades, pressure washing has become a very popular cleaning method in most households. While a lot of cleaning jobs in our homes will mainly depend on using the right cleaning product. However, there are instances when vigorous scrubbing is not enough to remove stubborn stain, dirt, and grime.
Pressure washers are the right machine for this. They are versatile cleaning tools that can handle accumulated dirt on your home that has built up over time with little effort on your part.
Pressure washing is a great way of rejuvenating the exterior of your house and even old historic homes such as the Rengstorff House. A pressure washer can take on practically anything outdoors. You can use it to clean your deck, patio, car, and outdoor furniture. It's also tough on oil stains and grease, making it the perfect equipment for taking care of your driveway.
These cleaning machines work dramatically and fast, and fun to use as well. Learn how to utilize one properly and make cleaning the exterior of your home a process that's short and painless by following the tips we have here.
Power washing is a messy job and can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. Although it can remove dirt and grime, it will not eliminate the mildew on decks and sidings, as well as strip off paint.
Before handling any power washing job, make sure you are protected. Wear gloves, proper clothes, rubber boots to avoid slipping, as well as eye protection. High water pressure means that there's a big possibility that water and debris may fly back at you. Also, use ear protection if using a gas power washer since it's loud.
Protect your plants by laying a tarp over them.
Once you're confident and comfortable with the machine, securely hold its wand with both of your hands so that it will not fly out of your grip.
The spray tip should be kept at least 18 inches away from the area or surface you will clean to ensure damage is minimized.
The wand should be held at a 45-degree angle to the exterior siding.
Clean in smaller sections at a time and work your way from bottom to prevent streaks from forming.
Use overlapping and long strokes for even cleaning.
When rinsing the siding of your home, work from top to bottom.
Avoid spraying your windows since they may break from the high water pressure.
Electric Or Gas: Which Is The Right Pressure Washer For You?
A power washer uses a pump for increasing the pressure of water that's flowing through the hose attached to it. Its pump is powered either by gas or electricity. Here are the pros and cons of gas and electric pressure washers to help you choose which one will work best for your needs.
It has more power. The levels of GPM and PSI it can generate is wider.
Cleans quicker and are more efficient than electric-powered washers.
They are cordless, which means you will not be limited with regards to your work surface.
Needs regular maintenance and have to change its oil all the time.
If you will restore it for longer periods, you need to use the right fuel additive.
It's quite noisy and heavy.
It produces emissions, so it's not ideal to use indoors or covered spaces.
Does not release harmful emissions and may be used indoors.
Easier to store and maintain, and there's no need for you to change the oil.
It's lighter, quieter, and cheaper.
It's not as powerful as gas-powered washers.
Not suitable for cleaning large surfaces.
It's not as portable since it requires a power outlet. You will be limited to the length of its power cord.
Light duty. Can generate less than 2,000 PSI and ideal for occasional light outdoor cleaning of outdoor furniture and small patios or decks.
Medium duty. Recommended for cleaning fences, driveways, sidings, and other smaller jobs.
Heavy duty. Its pressure level range from 2,900 to 3,300 PSI. It's great for large concrete surfaces and reaching a second story.
Extra heavy. These pressure washers are the ones used by professional cleaning companies.
Choosing the right nozzles and tips will make your power washer more efficient. Nozzles determine the water stream's angle which is important because it will have an effect on what the water stream can do.
Red. At zero degrees, this is the narrowest angle. Use this tip with care since it produces a water stream that can potentially do some damage on surfaces.

Kajol is out, promoting her upcoming film Helicopter Eela and is having fun while at it. While the trailer of the movie was launched on Kajol’s birthday, it has been more than rewarding to see her in all her elements during her recent media appearances. If you’re not in the know, the actress will be portraying the character of a single parent in the movie which has been directed by Pradeep Sarkar, who last helmed Rani Mukerji’s 2014 release Mardaani. The plot of the movie revolves around her bond with her son and the drama has been produced by Kajol’s husband Ajay Devgn along with Jayantilal Gada.
Not just that. She also revealed the one star she would not like in her class. And it was Aamir Khan. “He will be the teacher’s pet. And, if I do any mischief, he will complain about me,” she added. Well, we kinda sorta give that to her. Helicopter Eela will release on 14th Sept 2018 and will clash with Shahid Kapoor’s Batti Gul Meter Chalu.

Toronto, Ontario - July 20, 2009 - Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSX: WM, FWB: WC7) announced today that Alar Soever, President of the Company has also been appointed as Chief Executive Officer. Warren Holmes, a director of Wallbridge since 2002, has been appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors. The new appointments follow upon the recent untimely passing of CEO and Chairman, Risto Laamanen.
Wallbridge Mining will continue to focus on its Sudbury copper-nickel and PGE projects and its Rogers Creek porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum property in British Columbia. The Company currently has two drills turning in Sudbury as part of its 8,900 metres summer drilling program on joint venture projects with Impala Platinum Holdings Limited and Lonmin Plc (see Press Release dated July 2, 2009). At Rogers Creek, the Induced Polarization survey currently underway has identified a large chargeability anomaly beneath an area of surface copper-gold mineralization. (see Press Release dated July 10, 2009).
Mr. Alar Soever has 30 years of experience in the mineral exploration industry and has been the President of Wallbridge since 2003. Prior to 2003, Wallbridge was one of his clients at Watts, Griffis & McOuat Ltd. where he was responsible for their copper-nickel-PGE practice. Mr. Soever has been involved with Wallbridge since the early stages of exploration efforts in Sudbury and will continue to implement the Company's vision to discover the next large nickel-copper-platinum group deposit in Sudbury, while not ignoring other opportunities such as Wallbridge's new Rogers Creek copper-gold discovery in British Columbia. Mr. Soever was also instrumental in the spin-out of Wallbridge's Minnesota copper-nickel-platinum group properties into Duluth Metals (TSX:DM), in which Wallbridge currently retains a 12.4% ownership position.
Mr. W. Warren Holmes is a mining engineer (P. Eng), and holds a MBA. He is Chairman of Nuinsco Resources Limited and Victory Nickel Inc, Vice-Chairman of Atlanta Gold Inc, a Director of HudBay Minerals Inc, a Director of Foraco International SA, and a Director of several other private corporations. He was previously with Noranda Inc (1964---1986), and Falconbridge Limited (1986---2002) latterly as Senior Vice President of Canadian Mining Operations. He has also been the President of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy, and Petroleum, Chairman of the Ontario Mining Association, and Co Chair of the Ontario Mineral Industry Cluster Council.

How to get focusedrow cell value using Devexpress XtraGrid in C# and VB.NET Administrator February 12, 2015 4 Comments To get focusedrow cell value using Devexpress XtraGrid in C# and VB.NET you can use one of the following ways.
WinForms Grid – How to Delete Selected Data Rows It is possible to delete selected rows within a grid view by using the embedded navigator of the XtraGrid. However, there may be cases where you may need to provide custom deletion functionality in your... Hi I have a devexpress gridview one of the column contains url. I need on url clik highlight this row and if user click another url in another row highlight and unselect previous. I need on url clik highlight this row and if user click another url in another row highlight and unselect previous.
When testing an application that uses Developer Express XtraGrid controls, you may need to know which row (card), column (card field) and cell are currently focused. The XtraGrid control has special internal properties and methods that let you determine the currently selected element. These properties and methods are listed in the table below:... When I have any row on the first gridview I am able to get the focused row. Yet when I have the focus on any of the rows in the second gridview I am unable to get the focused row or the content of the row.
In case of the latter, this works for the datacolumn only, the row selection checkbox of DevExpress AspxGridView does not get disabled. To make it work in Firefox , we have to handle ASPXGridview_HtmlCommandCellPrepared of ASPXGridview as below.
The DevExpress ASP.NET Grid View (ASPxGridView) provides a preview feature that allows each data row to display a preview section, similar to Microsoft Outlook. Preview rows are non-editable regions that allow large memo fields or custom data to be displayed across all columns in the ASPxGridView.
29/08/2008 · Two people in this thread have already given examples of iterating the rows of a GridView's datasource. swaino I am trying to write a simple page which inserts a new row into a grid view from a detailsview.
A focused row is a Grid record, on which the cursor is currently positioned. A selected row is the row, which is included in multi-selection (if this feature is active). Only one record can be focused at a time. However, several records can be selected simultaneously.
You cannot access rows on GridControl, since this is just a container for the views. As I can see from your picture you're using GridView. When you press the delete button, focused row changes and you can access it via FocusedRowHandle.

Amazon and eBay have been accused by MPs of profiting from VAT evasion at the expense of taxpayers and UK businesses.
Executives representing the ecommerce groups were told that their firms were “turning a blind eye” as organised criminals in the UK and China handle undervalued or misclassified goods for the British market.
The criticisms were made on Wednesday at a meeting of the public accounts committee, parliament’s spending watchdog, which is investigating online VAT fraud. In recent years overseas sellers, particularly from China, have come to dominate many popular goods categories on eBay and Amazon, illegally selling products into the UK without paying VAT. As a result, many small British businesses have been undercut.
In April the National Audit Office disclosed that failure to declare tax from online retailers outside the EU lost HM Revenue & Customs up to £1.5bn.
On Wednesday Caroline Flint, a Labour member of the committee, repeatedly challenged Joe Billante, an eBay vice-president, and Steve Dishman, a vice-president at Amazon, over their failure to stop fraudsters from using their services.
She said both firms were actively encouraging overseas sellers from China to use their platforms and were charging them a fee.
“Whatever your relationship to the seller, the byproduct of Amazon and eBay and other online marketplaces is that you are profiting from the evading of tax by these overseas sellers. That is a fact, isn’t it?” Flint said.
Dishman acknowledged there was a problem. “We need all sellers to compete equally. That is what we are focused on,” he said.
Meg Hiller, the chair of the committee, said both retailers were still taking a commission from overseas-based firms who were defrauding the taxpayer. Online sales accounted for 14.5% of all UK retail sales in 2016, making the UK the biggest online market in Europe after an increase of more than 12 percentage points in a decade.
Just over half of all online sales were non-store sales, mainly through marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay. Some overseas sellers now choose to export their goods to the UK and store them in “fulfilment houses” before selling them to UK consumers through online marketplaces.
Tax rules require that all traders based outside the EU who are selling goods online to customers in the UK should charge VAT if their goods are already in the UK at the point of sale. Amazon and eBay say it is the legal responsibility of the sellers who trade on their platforms to determine and declare any VAT that arises from the sale of goods or services.
Tax officials from HMRC also came in for criticism from MPs for not enforcing the rules effectively enough. Prof Rita de la Feria, a tax expert, told the committee that HMRC’s failings were allowing firms to avoid paying their dues.
Jon Thompson, permanent secretary of the HMRC, called for legal changes to make firms such as Amazon liable for paying some of the VAT.
Richard Allen, from the campaign group Retailers Against VAT Abuse Schemes, said many of the goods that were imported from foreign sellers were dangerous. “Twenty per cent is a large sum of money, and if your competitors are avoiding the 20% you can’t compete,” he added.
Some of the MPs on the committee said they had completed mystery shopping exercises and found firms without VAT numbers. Hillier said she had been offered a 20% discount after she had asked for a VAT number.
The Conservative MP Gillian Keegan said she had bought lightbulbs from one firm which then did not respond when asked to provide a VAT number. “It’s very easy to find these sellers, so it would be very easy for you to put in better practices to stop this fraud happening,” she said.
Amazon has previously been accused of not paying its fair share of corporation tax in the UK. It paid just £7.4m last year despite billions in sales. A report said booksellers paid 11 times more tax than Amazon.

Di Cosimo S, Ferretti G, Papaldo P, Carlini P, Fabi A, Cognetti F. Lonidamine: efficacy and safety in clinical trials for the treatment of solid tumors. Drugs Today. 2003;39(3):157-74.
Lonidamine, a derivate of indazole-3-carboxylic acid, is an antineoplastic drug with a typical mechanism of action. Lonidamine has no function on cellular nucleic acids or protein synthesis, whereas it exerts a powerful inhibitory effect on oxygen consumption, aerobic glycolysis and lactate transport and accumulation of neoplastic cells. Nevertheless, its proven ability to modify the permeability of membranes is consistent with the possible increase of drug uptake, reverse of drug resistance and triggering of apoptotic pathway. Lonidamine has been experimentally shown to potentiate the cytotoxic effects of anthracyclines in human breast cancer cell lines and cisplatin activity in both platinum-sensitive and platinum-resistant human ovarian carcinoma cell lines. Since the specific mechanism of action and side effects are not overlapping with those of standard antineoplastic agents, combination of lonidamine with standard chemotherapy has been widely investigated for the treatment of solid tumors. Additionally, the enhancement of radiotherapy activity by lonidamine has been considered for palliative therapy of lesions from metastatic cancers. The encouraging results of phase II-III trials for the treatment of advanced breast, ovarian and lung cancer must be confirmed by larger studies. Specifically designed studies to address the role of lonidamine in the adjuvant setting are warranted. Lonidamine, a dechlorinate derivative of indazole-3-carboxylic acid, has proved to exert a powerful antiproliferative effect and to impair the energy metabolism of neoplastic cells. Herein we review the current experience on combining lonidamine and chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy in the treatment of solid tumors. Several studies have been published on this topic. The total number of trials reported in literature and length of follow-up are still insufficient to draw a firm conclusion. However, the available data demonstrate a significant role of lonidamine in modulating anthracycline and platinum compound activity.

Budget-conscious consumers who are looking for ways to stretch their money this holiday season should consider baking or making homemade goodies. Not only can it save money -- the price of store-bought goodies is much higher than homemade -- but when you take the time to make a gift yourself, it tells family and friends they really are -appreciated and loved.
Here are some ideas for wrapping food gifts.
--Decorate old oatmeal boxes or Pringles cans with leftover wrapping paper or paint.
--Wrap cookies in -cellophane and a square of seasonal fabric.
--Dress up jars or tins with colorful rickrack or bright yarns.
--Shop flea markets for brightly colored bowls, -holiday plates, mugs and jars.
--Stack cookies in Mason jars and decorate the lids with bows.
--Jazz up a brown paper lunch bag with acrylic paints, stamps, glitter or ribbon.
Here are some recipes that make great gifts.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Coat a 9- by 13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Combine oats, wheat germ, coconut and -pecans in a large bowl and toss to combine. Whisk brown sugar, canola oil, maple syrup, blueberry syrup, vanilla paste, cinnamon and salt in a separate bowl. Pour over dry ingredients and mix well.
Spread oat mixture onto the prepared pan. Bake 50 to 60 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Pour hot granola onto a large baking sheet and let stand until cool. Stir in cranberries, dates and raisins. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Makes about 10 cups.
Combine canola oil and vanilla extract in a bowl and whisk to blend. Store, -covered in refrigerator, for as long as 2 weeks. Serve over grilled vegetables or fruits, such as pineapple or papaya Makes 1/2 cup.
Cut marzipan roll in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into an oval. Pinch the small end to make the nose and eyes.
To make the ears, working with 1 mouse at a time, wet 1 end of 2 almond slices and stick them into the marzipan above the eyes.
Line a baking sheet with wax paper. In a small bowl, microwave the chocolate chips at high power, -stirring every 20 seconds, until smooth, about 1 minute.
Insert a toothpick into the wide end of each of 12 mice. Working with 1 at a time, dip the mice into the chocolate, tapping the toothpick on the side of the bowl to remove any excess. Transfer to the prepared pan and refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, using a -toothpick, make a hole in the wide end of each white mouse; insert the licorice tails and place the eyes. Remove the toothpicks from the chocolate mice, then insert the licorice tails. Serve at room temperature. Makes 2 dozen.
Using an electric mixer, beat butter until soft. With the mixer on low, gradually add confectioners' sugar until creamy, then beat in egg. In a medium bowl, whisk -together flour, cocoa and salt; add to the mixer in thirds, beating at low speed until smooth.
Lay a 16-inch sheet of parchment paper on a work surface; turn out the dough onto the paper. Using your hands, shape dough into a 12-inch-long cylinder; wrap tightly in the parchment and roll into a smooth, even log. Twist the parchment ends to seal and -refrigerate 30 minutes; reshape the cylinder and refrigerate 30 minutes more.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees; line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. -Unwrap dough; using a sharp knife, slice into 1?3-inch-thick rounds. Place rounds about 1 inch apart on cookie sheets; bake until firm, 18 to 20 -minutes. Let cool -completely.
In a bowl, combine 2?3 of the chopped chocolate with the oil; microwave for 30 -seconds, then stir until smooth. (If needed, heat for additional 10-second intervals.) Stir in -remaining chopped chocolate until smooth.
Using an offset spatula, spread a scant teaspoon of melted chocolate on top of each cookie. Sprinkle the peppermints on top and let stand until set, 2 to 3 hours.
Toast pecans in a 350--degree oven for 7 -minutes. Thoroughly scrub and dry your kitchen sink. Dump the popcorn and pecans into the clean sink. In a small pot over medium-low heat, melt butter with brown sugar and syrup, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes, -stirring constantly, then -remove from the heat and add vanilla, baking soda and salt, and stir vigorously. (The mixture will get very foamy and light.) Pour it over the popcorn and pecans, and use a wooden spoon to stir it quickly, -gently and well.
Spread out coated popcorn mixture on a pair of large, rimmed baking sheets, and heat it in a 200-degree oven until it feels dry to the touch, about 20 to 30 minutes. Cool completely before packaging, about 20 minutes.
Heat oven to 350 degrees and toast nuts on a cookie sheet, stirring often until they're golden and toasty, about 10 minutes. Combine the other ingredients in a large bowl, then toss in the nuts to coat.
Heat oven to 250 degrees. Line a 12-by-17-inch jelly roll pan (or rimmed -baking sheet) with parchment paper. In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, pulse together cranberries, orange zest, extract and walnuts (or chop them with a large knife).
Spread mixture over the prepared pan to within 1 1/2 inches of the edges, then evenly cover that mixture with the chocolate chips and put the pan in the oven. When the chips just start to melt (5 minutes or so), take them out of the oven and use a rubber spatula to spread them evenly over the -parchment. Chill until firm, about half an hour, then break into pieces.

While Ocean Moving and Storage is a reliable and reputable moving company, insurance from Moving Insurance is highly recommended. No matter how careful someone is, the possibility of danger still exists.
Depending on the option you choose (as listed below), you will be able to obtain these prior to or on your actual moving day. If you have a homeowner or renters policy, your belongings may be covered while being moved; however, we ask that you please check with your agent or carrier prior to the move.
As a licensed Carrier with the U.S.D.O.T., we are required to provide limited liability coverage at no charge to the customer. Under this option, the maximum liability is limited to $0.60 per pound per article for all items indicated as damaged or missing at the time of delivery. The shipper and/or agent has full authority to accept the shipment and enter into this agreement.
Replacement value coverage (FVP) will provide repair, replacement, or reimbursement in the event of damage or loss. The minimum declared value of shipment under this option is $5,000 or $4.00 times the actual total weight (in pounds) of the shipment, whichever is greater. The approximate cost for FVP is $8.50 for each $1,000 of declared value. FVP is offered with a $250, $500, or with no deductible. The amount of the deductible will affect the cost of your FVP coverage.
Full replacement coverage is more comprehensive coverage than valuation and generally offers more options (deductible levels, higher coverage). Because this coverage option is a bit more involved, insurance needs to be obtained prior to the actual move day. Call us and learn about our recommended insurance carrier, Movinginsurance.com, offering full replacement value moving insurance direct to the shipper.
Ocean Moving & Storage maintains in excess of one million dollars worth of General Liability insurance. Nearly every commercial building requires insurance certificates prior to any work performed on the premises. The amount of insurance a company carries is an important factor when choosing a mover; should your current or future building require more than the mover is covered for, the building will not allow them to work in the building. We maintain a substantial amount of insurance for our clients’ peace of mind.
Remember, moving is the best time to think about such aspects as office content and loss of business insurance. This type of coverage will protect your belongings after you move into your new space, protecting against the potential of fire and theft. Fortunately, this coverage is relatively cost-efficient and very comprehensive. If you are not already insured and do not utilize an insurance broker, we can introduce you to a few reliable professionals like the folks at Moving Insurance who can help you determine your needs and obtain the coverage that best suits them.

Stylized version of the original poster.
Before I say anything else about “This Above All” (20th Century-Fox, 1942), I want to make it clear that I have a great affection for this picture. Probably far more things are wrong with it than are right or good, but it’s extremely atmospheric and stirring if you’re willing to meet it halfway. It’s full of decency, earnestness, romantic yearning and — this above all — emphatic patriotism. Much of it is well written; all of it is beautifully photographed (by Arthur C. Miller, who was nominated for his work, but lost to Joe Ruttenberg (“Mrs Miniver”)); the story — ludicrous as some of it is — is well-paced by director Anatole Litvak. It’s full of faults, but it’s never boring. Overall, I find it thoroughly entertaining and emotionally satisfying.
The title, however, made me approach the picture with considerable trepidation the first time I saw it. I was pretty sure it must be a reference to Polonius’ admonition to his son . . .
. . . but I hoped it wasn’t. Unfortunately, the title is indeed a reference to Polonius’ speech, and it is quoted for the purpose of moral instruction. It comes at the end of the picture, and is underscored by Alfred Newman’s idiotic note-spinning, which is of a genre I call “Choir Celestial Claptrap.” I’m sick and tired of hearing this Shakespearean passage quoted out of context as if it were the Wisdom of the Ages, rather than what it is: perfectly sensible advice, marred by a nonsensical conclusion.* One can quite easily be true to oneself and a cheat to the rest of the world: that’s what villainy is all about. Besides, Polonius is, number one, a humbug, and a scumbag too. It is no wiser to take his advice about personal conduct than to receive moral instruction from Iago.
“This Above All” features enough undisguised “We’ve got to win this war — we’ve got to!” speeches to fill a half dozen morale-boosting pictures. (“We’ve got to win this war — we’ve got to!” is, in fact, its antepenultimate line.) The plot is full of borderline ludicrous episodes and accidents, and yet it works quite beautifully if you’re willing to embrace the foolishness. It strikes me as entirely heartfelt and done in a blaze of passion. With few exceptions, little of the acting is first rate, but many of the second raters are better than usual. As Joan Fontaine’s father, Philip Merivale is particularly good; so is Miles Mander in a tiny part. The screenplay by R.C. Sherriff is what I like most about it. I find his patriotic bunkum to be of a very high order. His speeches are not nearly as exquisite as Emeric Pressberger’s in “The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp,” but they get the job done. Moreover, Sherriff actually gives the opposition a chance to make a strong case for its side. The opposition will, of course, have to change its mind by the last reel, but not before it has strutted and fretted its hour upon the soap box.
This opening scene hooked me at once. It immediately establishes the tone of the movie: it’s the middle of World War II, and the lazy immoral complacency of the Old Guard is vehemently attacked by a latter-day version of the Bright Young Thing — and the Bright Young Thing is in the right. Gladys Cooper, always a welcome old cat, must receive and endure a proper old pasting from a patriotic young beauty. As in nearly every picture Gladys Cooper ever appeared in (with the notable exception of “My Fair Lady”), she is thoroughly in the wrong. The tongue-lashing she receives from Joan Fontaine is wonderfully satisfying.
“One day we may look back and thank Hitler for some of the things he’s done to wake us up, but we’ll never look back and thank you!” How do you like the manners of this aristocratic young firebrand? Of course there’s a war on and dear old Albion is fighting for her very life, but does that give Prue the right to compare Miss Cooper unfavorably to Herr Hitler? The first time I saw this scene, the intensity of the rebuke just about knocked the breath out of me. But this is one of the things that makes Sherriff’s patriotism palatable. All through “This Above All,” Sherriff argues that the English class system is riddled with injustice and cruelty: many inequities will have to be put right if the country is to survive. But first, they must all pull together and defeat Hitler.
On her first night in WAAF training, Prudence goes out with a friend whose fiancé introduces her to a dark, handsome man of mystery named Clive Briggs (Tyrone Power). The two are simultaneously attracted and antagonistic to each other. And both of them are allowed to be right. Very unusual in a wartime propaganda picture.
I wish he were a better actor. He’s much better in the silences: in them, he’s very good. But oh man, those bum line readings of his . . .
And here is how their holiday starts. This sequence is a bouillon cube of the entire picture: it has nearly all of its essential elements: patriotic fervor (hers) and its opposite (his), the dream of romance colliding with the class struggle (theirs), England herself (courtesy of the Fox backlots and Robert Kane’s process shots) . . . and Gladys Cooper, who’s there to be disapproving of the way the improvident world keeps disarranging her table neither with her consent nor to her liking.
It isn’t terribly well acted, is it. No, she lets her eyebrows do most of her emoting, while he nearly always sounds as if he were reciting. Yet I find their inadequacies rather touching: the artificiality of her eyebrow acting and his inability to make lines of text sound like conversation strike me as near-virtues with this particular material. Besides, both of them are extremely attractive and they have real chemistry together. She’s better than he is. She does scorn and vehemence well, and she is better than good in the final reel, when things have become quite literally a matter of life and death. And he is good in the silences. Still, better acting would have made for a much better picture: the first time I saw it, I kept wishing Deborah Kerr and Laurence Olivier had played the leads, but there it is — mustn’t grumble. There was a war on.
Power and Fontaine part company with Thomas Mitchell. I love the atmospheric lighting.
From the “laddies” and “ayes” that pepper Thomas Mitchell’s sentences in this next clip, I take it we’re supposed to believe this proud Son of Elizabeth, New Jersey, is a Scot, but his accent is such a Hollywood Irish stew, it’s hard to know for sure. I have always been allergic to Mitchell’s boisterous, rubicund leprechaun act. He’s perfectly awful: with his face eternally aflame with riot, he reminds me of a fiery Brussels sprout. But it seems that mine is very much the minority opinion. At any rate, in this scene, in which his character provides us with an enormous amount of exposition, he has the twin merits of swiftness and energy. He’s also a bit less sentimental than usual. And I have been careful to end the clip a split second before he begins to roister.
Adolf, you’ve bitten off . . . much more than you can chew.
Of the old red, white and blue.
We’re sick of all the muddle and the mess you’ve made.
So now you’re going to get a big surprise.
You’re nothing but a basket full of lies.
Words and music by Annette Mills, ©1939.
This clip features the most extreme example of back-to-back soap box orations in the whole movie. They both mean what they say, but they’re in over their heads.
Poor Joan Fontaine! I’m sure she really does mean every word she dutifully recites; she pulls out all her stops; she changes tempo; her voice goes up hill and down dale; she varies the speed of her tremolo; she employs aposiopesis (Greek: ἀποσιώπησις, “becoming silent”: in oratory, it’s the breaking off of speech to indicate fullness of emotion); she does everything great actors do to ennoble big speeches — but all in vain: she simply doesn’t have the chops to make this sort of thing work. Halfway through, when she lifts her eyes to the heavens and lets the words come cascading out of her in a great frothing curd of sentimentality and ham, it’s almost painful how inadequate she is. She’s working so hard . . . ! I really am touched by her earnestness and diligence. Her pantomime of emotion at the very end, when she executes a hiccough-like facial contortion, eyebrows aloft and working like mad, a sudden widening of the eyes, and finally a little frown just as she buries her face in Ty Power’s chest — pathetic . . . I confess it always gives me a shame-faced chuckle.
After this oration, and for the rest of the picture, Tyrone Power is in for a rum go of it — oh, a very rum go. Among other miseries, he seriously injures his hand and must seek the help of a district nurse named Emily Harvey, who patches him up, but tells him plainly that she will have to report him to the authorities. German spies have been reported in the vicinity and she must do her duty. Nurse Harvey is played to perfection by Jill Esmond, who was recently divorced from Laurence Olivier after ten years of marriage.
Jill Esmond gives a beautifully restrained performance as Nurse Emily Harvey.
Out of context, the rector seems mild enough, but I bristle when he says, “I see you as a symbol of our age — an Age of Reason that’s driven out the Age of Faith.” Quite apart from its being intolerably patronizing, I find it maddeningly wrong-headed for the clergyman to complain that the main problem of living through the Age of Hitler is that everyone is behaving too reasonably.

At WildFire CrossFit, we believe in what we do.
We help people from many different backgrounds look and feel their best through fitness and nutrition.
We created your Guide to the Fitness Pyramid to help you get started on your own terms.
We would love to have you come visit us at WildFire, and when you are ready, I’m sure you will.
It took me a while to realize that I needed help and if I could do it on my own, I would have.
I am here to tell you, You don’t have to do it on your own anymore!
There is no easy fix. Creating a healthy lifestyle is a journey and it doesn’t matter where you start, just that you GET STARTED!
In fact, our Holiday Lean Out begins November 9th. Be sure to act fast because there are only a few more opportunities for you to get started with this 30-day fat loss program so you can kick your resolutions to the curb and celebrate the New Year already down a size or two!
Over the next few weeks, we will guide you through the Fitness Pyramid one level at a time, giving you tools to start creating the healthy lifestyle that is right for you.
In addition, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we’ll be posting free, Facebook Live Videos explaining a new, At-Home Workout on the WildFire CrossFit Facebook page. They will primarily consist of bodyweight exercises.
We are doing this because we believe in what we do, we want you to feel and look better and live longer, and we understand how valuable your time is.
Just keep a few things in mind as we get started.
We are always here to help, so either come on in, call or text: 480-626-0905 Email: info@wildfirecrossfit.com or send a Facebook Message and we will make time to answer your questions.
Fitness is a journey, not a sprint. Think about how long it has taken you to get where you are today. It’s not going to be erased with a few days or even weeks of work. There’s no such thing as a 6-week fix. It takes consistent effort to create a healthy lifestyle.
It’s not about where you are today, it’s about where you want to go. Do what you can today, be smart, scale each workout according to what you can do, and remember, consistency is the key!
The foundation of the fitness pyramid is nutrition. You must have a solid foundation of good nutrition to maximize your results and get the most out of your workouts.
If you work out 7 days a week and eat like crap for 6 of those days, it’s going to be an uphill battle.
So, this week, keep it simple, and follow these easy steps.
Start being aware by writing down everything you are eating and drinking. Better yet, use an App such as My Fitness Pal.
Start cleaning things up by reducing the amount of sugar, soda, and processed foods you are eating eat more protein and vegetables. Also, watch out for the amount of fruit you eat. While it’s a better alternative, it’s still got a lot of sugar.
Take pride in the small victories! Cutting back is a good first step. Be proud of drinking 1 less soda a day, having 1 less sugary snack, or eating a good, well-balanced meals of protein and vegetables. Next week, make it 2 and so on. As you feel better you will want to do more.
Don’t miss out on the Holiday Lean Out! Stay tuned for the next level of the Pyramid next week and come on in to WildFire real soon!
Thanksgiving Day, bring the whole family for a lot of fun!!
9am: Annual T-Day Workout – This is one family friendly workout you don’t want to miss!

Some Rohingya farmers are facing difficulties for not growing paddy in their paddy fields in the upcoming rainy season due to tidal water, which destroyed many paddy fields in Maungdaw south since January 2016, Mohin from Maungdaw said. The tidal water is frequently entering into some paddy fields for breaking down the embankments of a stream. More than 20 acres of arable lands have been destroyed by the tidal water, he more added.
Mostly lands owners of Khonzabill village under the Aley Than Kyaw village tracts will face difficulties to support their family members in future, Korim Uddin, a farmer said.
Korim also said, the concerned authority is not taking any step to build the barrage of the stream, which is breaking down day by day. If the dike of the stream is not built, the tidal water will destroy more paddy fields in future after entering sea water.
However, the villagers request to the concerned authority to build the dyke of the stream to prevent the tidal water, said an elder named Malek.

Pepsi Cola/ started/ in a drug store/ in New Bern, North Carolina/ in eighteen ninety-six. At the time, most drug stores/ included a long, high, narrow table/ where people/ could gather/ socially. They could order sweet drinks/ called sodas.

Mister Bradham/ re-named it/ Pepsi-Cola/ in eighteen ninety-eight. Demand/ for the drink/ grew. Drugstores/ in nearby towns/ began to order large amounts/ of the syrup/ used to make the drink. Mister Bradham realized/ it was time/ to build a whole company/ around the drink.
In nineteen-oh-three, the pharmacist/ received legal ownership/ of the name Pepsi-Cola/ from the United States government. He moved the soft drink production/ to a large building/ in New Bern. In his first year/ as Pepsi-Cola owner, Mister Bradham/ sold more than thirty thousand liters/ of syrup.
The former pharmacist/ did well/ in business/ for many years. By nineteen fifteen/ Pepsi-Cola/ was worth more than one million dollars/ in sales and property.

Pepsi-Cola/ has had several owners/ since that time. Today, it is part/ of a larger group of companies/ called PepsiCo. Last month, PepsiCo/ made history.
