I write about industrial innovation and the global auto industry
Cash-strapped A123 Systems, which went public in 2009 amid high expectations for hybrid and electric cars, said a Chinese auto supplier would invest up to $450 million as the battery maker seeks to stem widening losses and a major cash drain.
The investment by Wanxiang Group Corp. involves convertible notes and warrants that if exercised could leave it with an 80 percent stake in the Waltham, Mass.-based company. Chief Executive David Vieau said the memorandum of understanding is the "first step toward solidifying a strategic agreement that we believe would remove the uncertainty regarding A123′s financial situation."
A123 had been considering its options since May, after posting a steep first-quarter loss. Last month, it agreed to sell existing institutional investors 7.69 million common shares.
The deal with Wanxiang Group, one of the largest auto components makers in China, is still preliminary and subject to numerous conditions, including approval by the Chinese government. If completed, however, A123 could get a helpful boost in China's growing electric vehicle and grid-scale energy storage projects. The deal is expected to close by year's end.
For A123, which used up 60 percent of its cash reserves in the last quarter, the investment comes as a major relief. The company reported a second-quarter loss of $82.9 million, or 56 cents a share, as revenues plunged by more than half to just $17 million. A year ago, A123 lost $55.4 million, or 44 cents a share.
"Chinese To The Rescue For Struggling Battery Maker A123″
This is like running a headline reading, "Hormel to the Rescue for Struggling Hog Family."
Chinese to rescue A123? What happened to the hundreds of millions put in by the US federal government? Down the drain or a transfer of money, technology and jobs off-shore?
Where is the oversight on this? The next time you complain about jobs or hear someone complaining about jobs, the economy and so on, remember this little tidbit that will escape the radar.
US taxpayers bailed out A123 and now it is being bought and controlled by another country? Forget that it is the Chinese, they are just being smart in business and we are being stupid.
A123 should be put on the auction block and let US citizens buy it, if for no more than one dollar. If it fails, so be it but at least we, the people who bailed it out aren't simply giving it away.
Doesn't anyone see the shame in this?
I'm predicting China will take the lead in developing electric vehicles and supporting infrastructure.
Obama doled out cash to green companies with a blind belief in Green Religion. Now the Taxpayers investment is being acquired cheap by a Chinese Company who will suck in the technology to sell us cheaper batteries. This is a real crime and if the congress doesn't do something about it, vote them out.
So let me see if I've got this one right: 1. The U.S. people give a fledgling company quarter of a billion dollars. 2. That fledgling company then uses half of the peoples money to improve it's infrastructure 3. The company presents it impressive infrastructure to a foreign investor 5. Foreign investor purchases control of the company for a promise of up to $450 million in investments.
Question: Since there is still outstanding taxpayer dollars tied to A123 Systems, will we get that money returned? Will we be reimbursed for our investment? So does that mean that the Chinese company (and now controlling interest) will gain access to the $120 million taxpayer dollars that are as yet unspent by A123 Systems (as of June 2012)? Does that taxpayer money just disappear? Where does it go? Interesting timing for this event….just prior to the election. Does A123 Systems have to prove or demonstrate taxpayer dollar expenditures? Is anyone monitoring executive bonus plans this year for A123 Systems?
Opinion: This one stinks worse than a dead fish on a hot beach.
For more on unfair trade tactics utilized by China, and how outsourcing of jobs and importing cheap products is hurting the US, I recommend checking out Peter Navarro's documentary 'Death by China.' You can watch the trailer here: http://youtu.be/W0VjwU8cWEw
Between the battery recall earlier this year that affected the Fisker Karma and the slow growth of EVs, A123 Systems' problems are understandable. It's too bad, though. There was such optimism years ago when it announced it would produce batteries for Fisker.
Better that it got the investment–regardless of whether it was from a Chinese backer–than end up folding. Still, the fact that A123 seems to have burned through millions in government grants over the past decade–even before getting the recent government loan–doesn't bode well for future solvency.

A Blind Beer Tasting, Take 1

Sounds fun.
Are you giving any clues as to the subject matter of your upcoming book?
I just found out I was a winner of your cookbook in the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness giveaway. I know Joe will be glad to have a copy that is not due back at the library every three weeks.

I'm glad you didn't feel too badly about being #5. In a tasting of 20 beers, your beer might still be #5! Tasting and judging beer would be very much like judging and comparing wine--very difficult! You mentioned the taster who rated yours the highest was a woman. Were there other women? There could be different taste preferences in that regard. Just a thought. Anyway, fun! Look forward to reading about the gf tasting. :-)

Hi theMom... General subject of the new book is "the evolution of gluten in world cuisine."
Hi Shirley... We had only one female taster. That's an interesting thought - I wonder how other female beer tasters might have rated the beers. Regardless, it was a fun tasting to administer.
Cheers, Pete

Have you tried New Grist? It's really good. I hate beer, and I made it through a six pack recently.

Hi Amanda... Personally, I'm not much of a fan of New Grist. I've always found it to have an undesirable aftertaste. Of course, beers come in many different styles to suit many different palattes, so as long as you're enjoying your beer (or your six pack), life's all good!
Cheers, Pete

Retailers, consumers and prices
Check Out Line: Consumers beware! Rising prices even at Wal-Mart
Check out rising prices even at Wal-Mart.
Pressures created by rising costs have caused even the world's largest retailer, known for its "rollback" discounts, to boost the prices that consumers pay for groceries.
Wal-Mart Stores raised average prices on supermarket items by about 6 percent in a month, according to a recent J.P. Morgan study in Virginia that compared the prices of 31-item goods sold at its supercenters, and at supermarket rivals Kroger, Safeway, Harris Teeter and Whole Foods.
Specifically, the study found that prices at a supercenter in Virginia rose 5.8 percent, the most significant sequential increase since JP Morgan started price comparisons in January 2009.
While the world's largest retailer remains the cheapest among supermarkets, rivals such as Kroger and Safeway are gaining ground, according to J.P. Morgan.
Rising costs of raw materials and oil are pressuring companies to pass on costs to consumers with higher prices.
Indeed, clothes makers such as Nike, VF Corp and Hanesbrands are facing the same conundrum. And British baker Greggs said soaring wheat prices were set to push up costs, emphasizing a theme that may be repeated for such food makers as General Mills, Kellogg, Kraft and Sara Lee.
However, the timing is not good as the state of the U.S. economy is still uncertain and unemployment remains stubbornly high, leading many consumers to still be wary about spending. U.S. retailers in July posted weaker-than-expected sales despite increased discounting.
Also in the basket:
Wendy's/Arby's to expand into Russia
ScottsMiracle-Gro posts bigger Q3 profit
Fossil Q2 tops estimates; raises FY10 view
Hanesbrands to buy Gear For Sports for $55 mln
Lone Star's BI-LO up for sale – source
(Reuters photo)
Check Out Line: Frugality — Part Two?
Check out the apparent return of the frugalista.
Worries about stubbornly high U.S. unemployment and a tempermental economic recovery has shoppers reeling in spending on all but the essentials.
The 28 retailers tracked by Thomson Reuters reported an overall 2.9 percent rise in July sales at stores open at least one year, missing Wall Street forecasts of 3.1 percent. Seventeen of those retailers reported lower-than-expected sales, while nine — including Macy's and Kohl's — beat estimates.
Panera's pick-what-you-pay cafe holds its own
Panera Bread's hometown experiment in altruism appears to be working.
About eight weeks after opening Panera Cares — a nonprofit restaurant that invites customers to take what they need and pay what they can — executives say it appears to be on-track to covering its costs and becoming self-sufficient.
"It's a fascinating test of humanity," Panera Executive Chairman Ron Shaich told Reuters.
Check Out Line: Have a Coke and a confused looking grin
Check out the confused American consumer.
Coca-Cola Co actually saw sales volume rise in North America in the second quarter, a rare feat.
Now imagine what would happen if U.S. consumers could actually figure out if they can afford to keep spending the money on a soda, what with high unemployment and the jittery stock market.
Check Out Line: Earnings to quench investors' thirst
Check out the latest quarterly earnings for signs of a recovery.
Whirlpool and PepsiCo both reported better-than-expected quarterly profits and pointed to improving trends, lending hope to optimists that the economy is slowly improving.
While citing continuing macroeconomic challenges, PepsiCo, which makes Tropicana juice, Frito-Lay snacks and Quaker Oats in addition to its namesake cola, posted stronger-than-expected results and affirmed its earnings per share growth target for the fiscal year.
Check Out Line: Summer job search advice for teens
Check out tough times for job-seeking teens.
Outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas said teens looking for a summer job will need to dedicate themselves full-time to the search, meaning getting a full-time job will be a full-time job. While many employers have filled summer positions, some may need more than expected while others delayed hiring until summer business conditions became clearer, Challenger CEO John Challenger said.
"The point is, you never know if or when a job opening is going to materialize, so you want to keep pushing," he said in a statement.
As downturn takes toll, food bank volunteers become clients
The longest recession since the Great Depression has taken an exacting toll on Americans and their ability to put food on the table. Families who once considered themselves solidly middle class are now signing up for food stamps or turning to food banks to feed themselves in the face of lost jobs or cut wages.
"These are our neighbors, our friends, the people we go to church with," said Margaret McKenna, president of the Walmart Foundation, of the number of Americans who are going hungry. "This is not like this is the other, people we don't know. These are people we do know."
from Blogs Dashboard:
Check Out Line: Jobs still hard to come by
Check out the rise in the number of U.S. workers filing new claims for jobless benefits.
Hurt by layoffs in seasonal industries, the initial claims for state unemployment insurance rose 17,000 to a seasonally adjusted 474,000 in the week ended Dec. 5 from 457,000 in the prior week, the Labor Department said.
Check Out Line: Upset tummies in the food sector?
Check out sluggish results in the U.S. food sector.
Fast food giant McDonald's and Kroger, the largest U.S. grocery chain, saw shares decline 2.5 percent and 10 percent, respectively, after reporting weak results.
McDonald's said same-store sales at its U.S. restaurants slipped 0.6 percent in November, marking the second straight monthly decline. Following Yum Brands' recent weaker-than-expected sales, it was the latest sign that the fast-food sector that had performed well through most of the recession was weakening.
Check Out Line: Which way is up with the U.S. economy?
Check out the mixed messages about the U.S. economy from the various consumer earnings.
Like any other earning day nowadays, it's pick your poison on whether you want to focus on the good news or the bad news when it comes to whether the economy is improving.

Get ready for the season of drunken moose. As ripe fruit falls from the trees and ferments on the ground, it is time for some of Sweden's most majestic wild animals to act in a most un-regal manner. One home owner east of Stockholm, the capital, has already been confronted by a mob of boozed-up moose. The five animals, feasting on rotten windfalls, "were threatening" and refused to let him into his garden. "Sensibly enough the (moose) left the scene when police arrived," writes Albin Näverberg on Stockholm police's website. To prevent further moose booze-binges the home owner, who lives in Värmdö, east of Stockholm, was advised to remove the apples from his yard. "The (moose) will have to get drunk somewhere else," writes Näverberg.

In a year when severe drought scorched the
Southwest, a hurricane drowned crops in the East and river flooding
swamped farms in the Midwest, the worst place to be a farmer may be
just west of the Mississippi River.
Arkansas and Louisiana have experienced both drought and
flooding. And in some cases, so have individual farmers in those
Jerry Gill estimates he lost $100,000. Flooding submerged 150
acres where he usually plants corn and soybeans about 150 miles
northwest of Little Rock. Then the drought dried up the pastures
that his cattle graze, and he had to run a hose from his house so
the skinny animals would have enough to drink.
The cost of the bad weather could reach more than $1 billion in
the two states.

Soltera Mining Files Annual Report for 2009
Print article
© Marketwire 2013
2013-03-19 18:01:55 -
JUJUY, ARGENTINA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/19/13 -- Soltera Mining Corp. (PINKSHEETS:SLTA) (www.solteramining.com) announces that its Form 10K Annual Report for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 has been filed with the SEC and is available for review on the SEC EDGAR website.
Because information presented in retroactive 10K Annual Reports must be current as at their filing dates, the non-financial sections of the corresponding reports for 2010, 2011 and 2012 will be almost identical to the document filed today. For this reason today's filing represents a critical first step in the Company's urgent objective of bringing its financial filings current and compliant with both the SEC and the BCSC.
Soltera Mining is grateful for the continued financial support from Goldlake Italia. Along with this arduous first step towards SEC compliance, Goldlake's financial and boardroom support has allowed Soltera to accomplish an extensive field exploration program of geological mapping, sampling and geophysical surveying aimed at detecting surface expressions of vein gold mineralization, testing the strongly gold anomalous areas of country rock, interpreting the geology, and providing a basis for drill programs to test the main gold targets at the exciting El Torno Gold Project in Jujuy, Argentina.
Soltera looks forward to announcing the results of this work soon.
About Soltera Mining Corp. ("Soltera")
Soltera Mining is an exploration company that is concentrating on the major El Torno Gold Project in northern Argentina. El Torno is a 78 km2 area that has potential for world-class gold deposits of two types: vein gold in a very large quartz vein system that extends intermittently north-south for 14 km and has been worked underground in the past, and dispersed gold in suites of small veins and stockworks that are separate from the main system and appear to be major open-pit targets. For more information, please visit the Soltera website at www.solteramining.com.
About Goldlake Italia ("Goldlake")
Goldlake Italia is the first Italian organisation to invest in the mining and exploration sector of Honduras and now Argentina. Goldlake's strategy is to mine only environmentally friendly gold without the use of cyanide or other chemicals. The El Torno Gold Project is particularly attractive to Goldlake because much of the gold appears to be free and extractable by simple mechanical rather than chemical methods (Ethical Gold Exploitation). For more information, please visit the Goldlake website at www.goldlake.co.uk.

Starting this week, we'll be highlighting the five finalists in the poetry category for the BTBA. Similar to what we did for the fiction longlist, these will be framed by the question: "Why should this book win?"
Click here for all past and future posts in this series.
Today's post is by poetry committee member Brandon Holmquest.
Child of Nature by Luljeta Lleshanaku, translated by Henry Israeli and Shpresa Qatipi
Language: Albanian
Country: Albania
Publisher: New Directions
Pages: 108
Why This Book Should Win:
It begins
when she searches in the darkness
for her likeness, a line of verse awaiting its end rhyme
and it goes on from there, and in just about every poem there's something that grabs your attention. As in the quote above, where the rhythm of the use of the letter S is so nice in the first two lines, establishing a beat which then opens up to let the long I come in, "likeness" "line" then the same S in "verse" and the long I again in "rhyme."
This is English-language poetry, of course. I have no Albanian whatsoever and the book is not bilingual, something which I generally regard as a minor crime, though this book may have persuaded me to be a little less hard-line about it. As I was attempting to explain to a bookseller friend of mine not that long ago: I want the original even in languages I don't know because I want to see what I can see. Are the original much longer or shorter than the translations? Are they shaped differently? Do they rhyme and if so, do the translations? And so on. I'm suspicious, in short.
And often, there's reason to be. But, sometimes, maybe it doesn't matter at all, because the English is so good I cease to care if it's even a translation. I just want more of it, whatever it is, however it came to be made.
Case in point, the poem "Monday in Seven Days," a longish serial poem of ten parts, which I'm only going to quote once because otherwise the whole thing is going to wind up in what is supposed to be a brief review:
Preparing for winter
isn't tradition, but instinct. We hurl our spare anxieties
like precious cargo from a shipwreck.
Read that again. If you don't see on your own how good it is, how truly excellent the choice of the word "hurl" is and how excellently true the observation contained in the lines is, maybe you don't like poetry as much as you thought. Or maybe you need to read a lot more of it.
Well, there's a lot more of it in this book. Both the above quotes are pulled from the first quarter of a 100+ page book. At about the halfway point we find:
They are dying one after the other;
shoveling earth on them has become as common
as sprinkling salt on food.
I don't know what anyone could say to work like this except, "Hell yes." I could go on dropping quotes all day, but I can see no real percentage in aggressively preaching to a mixed congregation of the choir and the uncovertable.
Lleshanaku's work is in a vein with some other writers from Eastern Europe I've run across in the last few years. She reminds me of Mariana Marin with a less severe case of depression, but really most of the good work I've seen from Romania or Poland and elsewhere in the region is in the ball park. Lots of images, vernacular language, a tendency to roll around in the lower reaches of the culture, and a level of comfort on the part of the poet with the saying of things, the making of explicit statements about the nature of something, be it the self, the world, or some interaction between the two.
Point being, there's something going on over there that we're only just now getting a chance to see in this country, thanks to books like this and translators like Henry Israeli and Shpresa Qatipi. There are literary cultures less dominated by the inane war between boring middlebrow crap and equally boring academic crap. Child of Nature is a book that comes from such a place. Read it.
Upon completing Albertine Sarrazin's Astragal I was left to wonder why it ever fell from print. Aside from the location, Astragal could pass as the great American novel. Its edginess and rawness capture the angst and desires we all had. . .

Drug Shortages Encourage Gray-Market Activity
At least once a week, my spam inbox contains mail from one or more online pharmacies, promising me a great price on a particular drug that is not medically necessary, nor is it meant to be dispensed to someone of my gender. Hospital pharmacies, in the business of dispensing medically necessary drugs to hospital patients, receive email from distributors with lists of drugs and prices, and also receive offers from so-called gray market distributors, unofficial sellers who are now taking advantage of drug shortages to resell scarce products at inflated prices.
In April 2011, the Premier Healthcare Alliance surveyed all of its acute-care membership, and asked them to submit examples of unauthorized offers to sell products in short supply. Over a two week period, they collected 1742 offers from 42 acute care hospitals, and tabulated the results. The largest markup they recorded was for Labetalol, a cardiology drug, at 4355%, but even sodium chloride concentrate was recorded as on offer at 2350% above normal.
The report warns that products obtained through the gray market may be stolen, counterfeit, or not handled properly, and recommends sourcing products from manufacturer-authorized vendors, or from other venders only when a pedigree for the product can be reliably determined.
Despite the risks, a report issued by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices found that about half (52%) of all respondents to their gray-market survey reported purchasing one or more products from gray market vendors during the past 2 years. Most (80%) of these respondents reported that their purchases had increased in the past 2 years as drug shortages have increased. According to the report, "Numerous respondents reported feeling pressured by physicians and hospital administrators to purchase medications from the gray market. Any resistance to the purchase, despite expressed risks, pegs the pharmacist as the 'bad guy.' Our physicians DO NOT want to hear that a drug is unavailable."
At least some of the products on offer are entirely legitimate, but are being scalped to make a profit at the expense of hospitals that require the products to treat critically ill patients. Among the recommendations from ISMP for curtailing the gray market is that in the event of an anticipated shortage, manufacturers should be required to stop deliveries to wholesalers/distributors. This way, only direct accounts with hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and other direct patient care providers will have access to the products at the contracted rate. The report also recommends stronger regulation and criminal penalties for gray market sellers, but the first step seems like a simple, easily implemented way of keeping the scalpers under control.

PGA Class-A professional and head of instruction Paul Surniak imparts hard-won golf wisdom accrued through 28 years of teaching experience to help his clients hunt birdies and evade mulligans. The six-time winner of the Colorado Long Drive Championship shares his knowledge through individualized lessons, while also utilizing advanced golf technology to develop consistent muscle memory and improve swing mechanics. During semiprivate lessons, Paul can address any aspect of the golf game, including short game, hitting off the tee, and golf-specific fitness. His video analysis and launch-monitor-assessment techniques also unveil whether players are using clubs that accommodate particular motions. In addition to physical guidance, Paul counsels students on the mental and strategic elements of the game, such as making swing adjustments on the fly and correctly answering the riddles of greenside gnomes.
As Colorado Springs' first and only women's flat-track roller-derby league, the Pikes Peak Derby Dames are members of the Women's Flat-Track Derby Association (WFTDA) and are ranked eleventh in the western region. The tough-as-hammers, take-no-shilly-shallying chicks compete year-round in monthly bouts at Colorado Springs Auditorium. Derby Dames come from all skates of life, from stay-at-home moms to business professionals to amateur magicians with data-entry day jobs. In each bout, two teams duke it out in a series of "jams," wherein a designated team "jammer" attempts to pass as many of the opposing team's players as possible on the track. Although roller derby is by nature a somewhat scrappy enterprise, penalties are issued for tripping, illegal blocking, and cutting the track, though no mention is made of banana-peel tossing in the official rules.
Following in the glove steps of a pantheon of famous punchers, the amateur fighters of the USA Boxing National Championships compete for berths at the 2012 Olympic Team Trials over the course of 13 gold-medal matches. Join the throng within the historic column-girded halls of the City Auditorium as the top male and female pugilists disarm opponents with jab steps, haymakers, and well-timed knock-knock jokes. More than half of the 2004 and 2008 Olympic teams first decorated themselves with gold at the National Championships, flitting through the quick paces of Olympic-style boxing for a chance at personal glory and national immortality. The tradition stretches back generations, with past tournaments resounding with the jabs of notable names such as Muhammad Ali, Oscar De La Hoya, Sugar Ray Leonard, and both Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots.
The Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association pairs former baseball brethren with local and national celebrities in a charity baseball game to benefit the Children's Cancer Center. Baseball for Kids Day 2011 brings Hall of Famers such as Goose Gossage and Jim Bunning, and celebrities from other walks of life like Larry the Cable Guy to the Bright House Field for a day of fast pitches and hard hits. To complement the fun on the field, auctions and raffles provide official merchandise excitement with on-site winners.
Pikes Peak Athletics founders Anna and George Heidinger are a real power couple: he's worked for years as a strength conditioning and swim trainer, she as a swim club coach and former Olympic Trails qualifier. But their decades of aquatic achievement haven't made them narrowly focused swimmers whose skin starts shriveling on dry land. In small-group and private lessons, they view even the most advanced students not as swimmers but as "people who swim," and, consequently, take a relationship-first approach to instruction.
The Heidingers are aided by a squad of experienced junior and senior coaches, each certified in CPR, first aid, and water safety—and each extensively shadowed by a head instructor and a benevolent water spirit before being turned loose to instruct on their own. Beyond basic lessons and intensive coaching, staff also organize seasonal swim teams, and lead an annual swim camp that helps students hone the four major strokes and other aquatic competition skills using video playback.

For those of you who prefer minimalistic themes HedoneDesign let us know about their latest release named Jam. Not to be confused with the BlackBerry Jam Sessions, this fresh and bright theme is a simple, yet solidly built, design for your device.
HedoneDesign is known for their precision and quality and Jam displays all that and more with its grayscale tones, unique icon set that is comprised of brilliant white circles for a clean look, fixed icons that only enhance the spotlight effect, and custom meters in the custom top banner. While the icons may be similar to the ones used in Phazer (opposite colors and slight differences) it is still a lovely icon set that goes well with any background you choose.
All of the graphical elements are customized and it leaves the main OS 7 features and interface untouched. While this limits it to being a standard tray theme, it ensures you run smoothly, comes with a small footprint, and makes sure your folders and the icons within them remain intact. For me, as long as the theme works well and looks great I don't mind using trays and have been pleased with HedoneDesign's professional style for OS 7 devices.
As always, price is a leading factor when choosing a theme. HedoneDesign's Jam may be expensive for some at $6.99 but their quality, customer support, and dedication speak for itself. The contrast of the icons and colors make your personal wallpapers stand out and give it a nice polished look.
If you crave the simple and elegant creations of HedoneDesign has been releasing in the last few months then be sure to check Jam out in BlackBerry App World. This theme is compatible with BlackBerry 9350/60/70, 9650, 9700/80/88/90. 9810/50/60, and 9900/30/81 running OS 6 and higher.

In order to increase your chances of launching a successful appeal, consideration should be given to the following:
Once you have submitted your appeal, a hearing will be held (usually during the summer) in order to consider the issues. A deciaion as to whether your appeal has been successful will then be made.
If you are considering launching an appeal against the Local Authority's decision about your child's admission to school, we can guide you through the process and provide representation for you at the hearing. Contact either Kate Baker or Terry Chetwood for more information on 01392 274006.
1) Know who your customer is
Have a checklist or a form that new customers complete. Get as much information from them as possible e.g whether they are a sole trader, partnership. It is essential you know who you're dealing with.
2) Terms and conditions
It is very advisable to have clear terms and conditions within your contract. This will govern things like the right to charge interest and the payment terms. Think about whether you want a retention of title clause which means that you own the goods until payment has been received.
3) Invoice promptly
It may seem like a daft idea but as soon as the job has been done, invoice it. That way you are on top of your cash flow.
4) Credit
Try and make sure that your computer system alerts you when a customer has not paid or when credit limits have been met.
5) Check what is on your invoice
Make sure it is addressed to the right legal entity (partnership, company, individual) payment terms, payment due date, full description of service. VAT number if applicable
6) Keep on top of your issued invoices
Call your customer to make sure that they have received the invoice. Ask if there is any reason for non payment
7) Make sure you have a process to chase debtors.
e.g if you say pay within 7 days then diarise for payment within 7 days and chase again.
8) Keep records
Have a record of your telephone conversations and keep letters that you send and have received.
9) Have meetings with staff
Hold meetings and keep an eye on the collections
10) Take Legal action
If the above fails or you still have not been paid. Please refer your account to us to chase.
To discuss this further please contact Kate Baker on 01392 274006 or by email at email@example.com

Michael Prest, founder of Nigerian energy company Petrodel Resources, separated from his wife after 15 years. During the divorce he said that Petrodel's assets did not belong to him but to a family trust and that he was in reality in debt to the order of £48m.
Yasmin Prest asserted that her husband was in control of all the companies which were 100% owned by him and he was worth millions (the Court estimated he was worth not less than £37.5m).
In 2011, the High Court ordered Mr Prest to hand over £17.5m to his former wife but he and his company challenged the order and the Court of Appeal reversed the decision in effect creating what family lawyers called a "cheats charter".
The wife appealed to the Supreme Court last year who have now ruled in her favour in this long running divorce dispute with her wealthy ex husband.
Petrodel and Mr Prest argued that the properties were not his to dispose of freely but in fact belong to his companies which were distinct legal entities. The wife said this was a sham and the Court agreed.
In a robust judgment, the Supreme Court has now unanimously ruled in favour of Mrs Prest. Lord Sumption stated that it was a fundamental principle in commercial law that companies are distinct from the individuals controlling them. In other words, they have their own legal personality.
However, in this particular case, Mr Prest had bought the properties using his own money but in the name of the companies. The properties were therefore held "on trust" for him.
The Court ruled that the "most plausible inference" from the known facts was that the properties were held on trust for the husband. The Trial Judge has found that the husband had deliberately tried to conceal the fact in his evidence and had ignored Court orders and failed to disclose evidence.
The Court's decision is a victory for common sense especially as many family lawyers had thought the Court would instead uphold what is after all a fundamental corporate law.
Instead, the Courts have taken a more practical and flexible approach and the ruling would be useful for people (usually wives) – worried about hidden or assets protected in a company.
Most family lawyers are saying that this decision means that business people cannot deliberately hide assets in businesses and corporate structures or shield them in future divorce proceedings.
However, it remains to be seen whether this case really represents a great victory for wives generally. The Supreme Court decided this case very much on its own facts. The Court was highly critical of the husband's evidence and essentially it was only the extreme conduct of the husband which led the Court to infer that he was covering up evidence that might otherwise have established ownership of the company's assets.
So, in summary, we will have to wait and see whether in future cases the Courts will readily lift the corporate veil in matrimonial cases. Certainly, Prest gives encouragement to wives and a stern warning to husbands who attempt to conceal their assets and deliberately mislead the Court.

Education has become somewhat of a hot topic and is often at the centre of one controversy or another, whether it's yet another change to the National Curriculum, attitudes towards school discipline or teachers' pensions. However, despite the enormity of the role education plays in shaping our children's lives, parents often feel that the system does not afford them a say on how their children are educated and that decisions are imposed on them without consultation and without full explanation.
We have received many enquiries asking what can be done when such life-altering decisions are made by schools and/or Local Authority and disagreed with by the parents of the child. The answer is that many decisions can be appealed, firstly by exhausting internal complaints procedures implemented by the school and then by taking the matter either to the Local Government Ombudsman or to Tribunal, depending on the nature of the grievance.
Education Law encompasses a variety of issues, including failure to secure a place at your preferred choice of school. Perhaps you are not considered a priority according to the school's admission criteria and believe you should be? Maybe your child has been excluded from a state school for unfair reasons and you would like him/her to be reinstated? It might even be that your child was excluded for good reason but you do not feel you and your child are receiving the right support to get him/her back into education.
We have also been consulted by parents who are concerned that their children might have Special Educational Needs that have not been correctly identified. A parent and/or the school can make a request to the Local Authority for a Statutory Assessment. We can assist in this process and where necessary, take steps to ensure that the correct provision is put in place for the child. Should we need to take the matter to tribunal, further advice will be provided.
In addition to the above, we can also advise parents who wish to make a complaint against an independent school. Given that the relationship between parents and schools in the independent sector is one of contract, parents will naturally have high standards in terms of the service they expect to receive. Parents may feel that the level of education offered is inadequate. Many parents fear taking action against these schools because they are not regulated in the same way as State schools i.e. they are not required to conform to the Education Act and guidance issued by the Department of Education in the same way. They are, however required to apply principles of Public Law and to adhere to Independent School Regulations.
Complaints in this sector of law are not confined to schools; we have also been consulted by students at both college and university facing disciplinary issues, accusations of plagiarism and termination from their course due to a failure to complete a module, for example.
Whatever the nature of your grievance, we will advise on any appropriate appeal procedure, the merits of appeal, instruct independent experts (where necessary) and always with yours and your child's interests at heart. Where there is dispute, it is always preferable to resolve matters amicably by way of negotiation but where this is not achievable, we will advise as to alternative courses of action including litigation.

There is no such thing as a standard lease. When a client rings me and asks me to either draw up a lease or check one that has been drawn up, the first question I ask is "what have you agreed?"
The Heads of Terms are the blue print solicitors use to draw up and agree the lease. Whilst generally they are not binding on the parties, once they have been agreed, it can be hard for either party's solicitor to justify a radical departure from them without putting the deal at risk.
So what is covered by the Heads of Terms?
The Rent
The amount of the rent is one of the most important terms. There is no exact figure that is the correct amount so take advice, or research the market yourself
The other terms of the lease will have an impact on the rent. The more favourable these are to the tenant, the higher the rent the landlord will want, and vice versa.
Rent is usually payable in advance and generally either monthly or quarterly. Monthly is better for a tenant's cash flow. Most landlords prefer quarterly. It may be possible for a tenant to agree, as a personal concession, monthly payments.
It is sometimes possible, particularly in the current market, for a tenant to agree a rent free period and/or a capital payment with the landlord. This may be to assist the tenant in fitting out the premises, or to enable the tenant to bring the premises up to a good state of repair.
The length of the Lease
This is often referred to as the Term of the Lease. Due to various factors leases nowadays are usually shorter than they used to be.
Many parties agree leases of 7 years or less, to avoid the need and the expense (for the tenant) of registering the lease at the land registry.
10 year terms are reasonably common to give both the landlord and the tenant a longer period of "security" and to avoid the cost of having to re-do the lease sooner.
The impact of Stamp Duty Land Tax has a bearing on the length of the lease as whether it is payable and if it is, the amount payable will depend upon a combination of the rent and the length of the term.
Rent Reviews
These are usually agreed on an upward only basis. Very few landlords are prepared to agree upward or downward rent review provisions. If though a landlord were to agree one, the quid pro quo would be a higher initial rent.
Rent review frequencies are usually agreed to tie in neatly with the length of the lease. As a very general rule, often there is no rent review in a lease of say 3 or 5 years; for a 6 year lease you would expect a rent review at year 3 and for a 10 year lease at year 5.
The basis for the review has also to be considered. The most usual is "open market". An alternative would be a review based upon the change in the retail price index. There are pros and cons for each.
Repairing Terms
Most landlords want the tenant to be responsible for or to reimburse – through a service charge – the cost of the maintenance and repair of the premises.
Such leases can be onerous. Tenants should consider limiting their obligations either to the original state of repair of the premises and/or by way of a cap on the service charge payable or to internal repairing terms only.
Normally the landlord will insure the premises and the tenant will reimburse the landlord the premium incurred. The parties need to consider who will bear the risk of uninsured losses – e.g. losses caused by terrorism.
Rent deposits/guarantor
Where the tenant is a newly formed company or has no business track record, a landlord will often require the tenant to provide guarantors – for companies often the directors – or to put up a rent deposit - anything from a quarter to a full year's rent – or sometimes both.
Rent deposits are "dead" money and if VAT is payable on the rent an amount equivalent to VAT will also have to be deposited and will not be reclaimable through a tenants VAT return.
A tenant should discuss with the landlord at this stage of the negotiations any alterations he may wish to make to the premises and ensure that the landlord is prepared to agree to them.
Break clauses
A break clause allows either the tenant or the landlord or both of them – depending upon what is agreed, to break the lease at a certain point on giving an agreed period of notice.
Security of Tenure
Unless a lease has been excluded from the security of tenure provisions of the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954, at the end of the lease a tenant will have a right to renew it. A landlord will have very limited grounds to refuse a renewal and if the terms of the new lease cannot be agreed, either party can apply to the court to get them fixed.
Most landlords want their leases excluded from the security of tenure provisions. On the other hand it is preferable for tenants to have security.
Nowadays it is usual for the parties to agree to pay their own costs.
Beware of agreements to pay the other party's costs should you withdraw from the transaction.
The rent payable may be subject to VAT. If as a tenant you will not be able to reclaim this VAT, the rent payable will be 20% more than anticipated. It is therefore advisable to check this point at the outset. Also be aware that a landlord can change the VAT status of the premises at a later date. If this is likely to be problematical this too needs to be addressed.
In conclusion……
Agreeing Heads of Terms can be complex. If a landlord has instructed a commercial agent to find a tenant, he will have some guidance. This will not be true for the tenant. My advice would be not to proceed without professional advice. Saving costs could be false economy.

With the recent collapse of Jessops, Comet, HMV and Blockbuster, employees are finding themselves in a situation where they are having to assess their rights and entitlement.
There is a difference between an employer being in liquidation and administration. If your employer is in liquidation, there is no continuing business and you will have no job. Where your employer is in administration, an administrator will be appointed and will be brought in to see if the business can be kept alive and whether a buyer can take over the whole of the business.
In administration, as an employee you will not be able to make any immediate legal claim against your employer because the law imposes a "moratorium" on any claims brought against the company, which means that nobody can bring a claim unless they have consent of either the Court or the administrator.
Administrators have a period of 14 days after their appointment to decide if they want to dismiss the employees to save costs. If they do so within the 14 day period, those employees become creditors of the administration so will often be part of a long list along with suppliers and other creditors.
If the administrator retains you as an employee beyond the 14 day period then you become a preferential creditor and you may have a better chance of succeeding in a claim for your outstanding salary and redundancy payment if the business no longer continues to trade.
If your employer is insolvent then under the Insolvency Act 1986 employees are entitled to be paid their salary for 4 months immediately up to the insolvency and this is capped at £800.00. Employees are also entitled to be treated as a preferred creditor for holiday pay (which is up to 6 weeks) and certain occupational pension payments. Any additional amount that employees are owed relating to periods for longer than 4 months ranks as a debt along with the other bulk of the creditors.
What if your employer has no funds to pay you?
If your has insufficient funds to pay you from the business then you can apply to the National Insurance Fund for any outstanding payments including salary, notice pay and redundancy. To qualify your employer must be insolvent and your employment needs to have terminated. The National Insurance Fund also has caps. They have a cap of £430.00 a week for unpaid salary up to a maximum of 8 weeks. 6 weeks holiday pay to a maximum of £800.00.

It is that time of year again when most people are buying gifts, but what do you do if your gift is faulty? And what if you want to exchange a present that you do not like and do not have the receipt?
In this article I will explain a bit more about the law relating to your consumer rights.
Faulty Goods
The law relating to sale of goods is relatively straight forward. A seller has to provide goods that are of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose. Your rights under these laws are against the seller not the manufacturer.
Therefore if you receive goods that simply do not work or not work as they should then in certain circumstances you are entitled to reject those goods under the sale of goods act and claim a refund, you should do this in a reasonable time. In most cases, you would want the seller to exchange the goods for a brand new item in working order.
Example: On Christmas Eve Paul buys a model helicopter for his son Matthew and it costs £194.00. Paul gets it home, wraps it up and on Christmas day the helicopter does not work. Under the sale of goods act Paul can demand a replacement or a refund providing he goes back to the seller quickly.
Using the same example lets say that Matthew plays with the helicopter for a month and it then does not work. Paul has the right to take the helicopter back to the shop and ask for the helicopter to be repaired and/or replaced.
This depends on what is in the sellers terms and conditions. At the point of sale, you should ask what the seller's policy is on returns/exchanges. Some shops offer a refund with a receipt and some only offer credit notes.
If you are buying goods online, or over the telephone, remember that under the long distance selling regulations you have an automatic cooling of period and can return the item within that period.
Example 1: Paul buys the helicopter online and discovers Matthew does not like helicopters anymore. Paul can return the item and request a refund providing he does this within the cooling off period.
Example 2: Paul buys a helicopter from a local toy shop and at point of sale there is a sign saying "We are happy to exchange any goods providing there is proof of purchase". Furthermore before Paul pays for the goods he is advised by the sales assistant that there are no refunds just exchanges on goods bought. At this point, Paul can choose to leave or continue with the purchase. Paul decides to buy the goods and hopes that his son likes his present. If the helicopter was faulty, Paul can still demand a refund under the sale of goods act legislation as referred to above.

The jury decided that the majority of Samsung smartphones and tablets violate patents held by Apple including features such as the zoom in and out innovation achieved by tapping the screen.
The jury also decided that Samsung's infringement was intentional and said the firm's counter-suit for $399 million against Apple was without merit.
A bid by Dutch company You-Q to trademark the word "Beatle" for use on electric wheelchairs has been blocked by EU judges.
The EU Judges ruled there was a risk of confusion with the pop group and a product using the group's name would benefit unfairly from the association.
The Judges ruled that the word "Beatle" has a distinctive character so that, when faced with the public at large, in particular in the non-English speaking countries of the EU, they will immediately think of the eponymous group and their products"
Little Mix
Last years X factor winners Little Mix were launched with the name "rhythmix" which is the same name as a charity working with vulnerable young people.
The Charity expressed its concern that the name of the band may lead to confusion and launched a public campaign against the X factor.
The band then changed its name to Little Mix

While watching the Academy Awards on Sunday evening, I was delighted to see that Oprah Winfrey had been selected to win an honorary Oscar, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. This prestigious award is typically bestowed on a person whose humanitarian efforts have brought credit to the motion picture industry. Past recent recipients include Sidney Poitier, Robert Redford and Lauren Bacall.
But it's not the award I want to talk about here. In fact, I've already forgotten who else was honored alongside Oprah the other night. No, what I noticed in seeing Oprah tearfully accept her honorary Oscar was how much of a relief it has been not to see her lately. She had so long dominated the mainstream media with apologies to America that it was driving me mad.
Perhaps I should explain.
Even with this latest honor, Oprah found herself once again in a defensive posture, as the press asked "Did she deserve it?" "Why her?" Rather than just be unabashedly proud of her success or appropriately accepting of who she is and what she does, she took up her most characteristic stance: apologizing for being what she is.
It's one thing for her to express wonder that she has come so incredibly far from an impoverished childhood, filled with neglect and abuse – but why does she feel it necessary to apologize for what she does, what she supports?
This posture goes way back. She felt the need to explain her support for Barack Obama. She felt compelled to defend herself for donating millions of dollars of her own money to create a girls' school in South Africa as opposed to America, I guess. Never mind that her Angel Network supports a multitude of charitable organizations both here and abroad or that hundreds of American students have received Oprah-funded scholarships to attend college.
But frankly, it was her focus on the issue of her weight that I have found irksome. Oprah has often, over the years, felt the need to apologize to Americans for the heinous crime of having gained weight.
This drama used to unfold before me across the television monitors during my own early morning visits to the gym. I would rev-up the treadmill at 6:15 a.m., and stare incredulously at the TV to behold Oprah Winfrey, millionaire, ashamed that she has gained 20-30-40 pounds, pounds that she had fought so hard to lose. She is heartsick for having disappointed her fans. Notwithstanding the fact that 80 percent of people who lose weight gain it back, she vows to take off the weight. We are invited on the journey as Oprah reclaims not only her skinny jeans, but more importantly her health and America's respect.
Respect? I used to find myself breathless, and not from exertion. Here was a powerful, amazing woman; a celebrity, magazine founder, and hugely successful businesswoman who transcended abject poverty and racism through education and hard work. She accomplished in ten years what most of us will never hope to achieve in ten lifetimes. Yet she's afraid she's lost our respect because she gained some weight?
Perhaps it was because she had made her commitment to take weight off so public that she felt she had let Americans down by putting the weight back on? I'm not sure. Does Oprah's value lie only in her BMI or the numbers on her scale? Is that all any of us are? I understand the health implications at risk, but why is she accountable to anyone but herself and maybe her physician?
It concerns me, you see, because, like Oprah (and a few million other Americans), I too have some weight to shed, weight that has stubbornly attached itself to me since the birth of my third child. While this is a part of who I am, it is not what defines me, nor should it define Oprah.
Watching her receive her much-deserved Oscar put me back in mind of all of this. Here again she tottered on the edge of apologizing. "It's unimaginable," she wept, "that I would be standing before you ..." Unimaginable? By now it's almost expectable. Is she the only one who doesn't know that she has made it? Can't she accept who she is?
But maybe I'm being ungenerous; the answer to these questions is clearly complex. Perhaps all she has achieved within the context of the industry she achieved it in cannot eclipse her humble beginnings. We all fight the demons of our past; even, or especially, the Oprahs of this world.

New city manager has big ideas for Claremore
Salesha Wilken
Staff Reporter
New city manager Jim Thomas is bringing optimism, strength, experience and passion to the city of Claremore.
"It's a new day in Claremore, Oklahoma with the Thomas administration," Thomas said
No stranger to a challenge, Thomas has some key ideas to bring Claremore into the future.
"We are going to promote ambassadorship in Claremore. We are going to come together as a team and make this community somewhere everyone is proud to call home," Thomas said.
Thomas is looking to improve the image of Claremore while bringing current visions into reality.
Specializing in economic development and union contract negotiations, Thomas has been described as clear-headed and focused. He uses experience and openness for new ideas to lead.
"I know what a city council expects and what a city manager does, because I have done both jobs," Thomas said.
Thomas has served communities for more than 25 years. He earned a Master's degree in Public Administration from Brigham Young University, but it is his experience that adds another element to his education.
He understands that relationships, hard work and community participation make a difference.
A big part of the process starts with city employees, according to Thomas.
"There is no 'I' in teamwork and no 'I' in success," Thomas said.
Thomas's plan for the city includes empowering employees to lead by example. Every department and every employee will be working together to promote the city, he added.
"I know the power of bringing people together," Thomas said. "Teamwork and communication are the keys to our success."
Thomas has been instrumental in many different projects through his years of service.
One of Thomas's banner projects was the completion of the Grand Victorian Hotel in Old Orchard Beach, Maine.
The 120,000 square foot development included luxury condominiums and retails shops at street level.
The $25 million project provided a boost in economic development and helped to transform the image of the community.
"I bring a lot of passion to the job and I care about the community," Thomas said.
It is this passion that Thomas plans to bring to Claremore and with it a lot of new ideas on how to bring defining changes to the city.
Thomas explained his focus on using the many assets Claremore currently has to attract developers and renew interest in the community.
One of his priorities is to highlight Rogers State University.
Thomas also plans to work closely with developers at Claremore Plaza to move the project forward.
Beyond the job, Thomas has spent many years being an active member of the communities he has managed.
Everything from volunteerism to coaching little league sports plays a role in Thomas's life.
Thomas is a family man with a strong focus for service.
Thomas and his wife Kathy recently celebrated their 33 years of marriage. They have four children.
