MUMBAI: In a sign of continued M&A activity in the healthcare technology sector, a bunch of private equity firms including home grown funds Everstone Capital and ChrysCapital Advisors, and global funds such as KKR & Co and Baring Private Equity Asia are in separate talks to buy a controlling stake in Nashville-based healthcare IT services firm emids Technologies in a deal worth $200-225 million.
Multiple people aware of the development said through the proposed deal, both promoters and existing US-based PE investors—Baird Capital, Council Capital and Union Grove Venture Partners — will sell their stakes.
At present, the three PE funds hold together about 65% stake, promoters hold 23% and the rest of the stake is held by friends and employees. In this proposed deal, promoters are likely to hold about 10% stake in the company.
"Promoters demand a price of $225 million, while a couple of bids were submitted at $200 million range," said one of above mentioned persons.
emids Technologies provides Healthcare Information Technology and BPO services to the healthcare industry. Investment bank Credit Suisse is running a formal process to find a buyer.
Spokespersons with KKR, ChrysCapital and Everstone declined to comment while mails sent to Saurabh Sinha, founder & CEO of emids, spokespersons with Baring PE Asia, Baird Capital, Council Capital and Union Grove Venture Partners did not elicit any responses till the press time on Sunday.
Founded in 1999 by former Wipro Technologies engineers Saurabh Sinha and Arnab Chatterjee, emids' business process outsourcing services include electronic health record (EHR) application deployment & management, analytics, data integration & governance, software development & testing, and business intelligence. India is one of the largest markets for emids through its operations in Bengaluru and Hyderabad offices.
In 2013, emids Technologies had raised $13.3 million from Baird Capital and Council Capital to meet its organic growth plans and pursue selective acquisitions. In 2017, emids expanded the business with its acquisition of Texas-based healthcare information analytics company Encore Health Resources, which also added about 200 consultants to emids' base of 1,500 employees in the US.
emids' client base across the US, Europe and Asia include hospitals, medical insurance providers, healthcare technology firms, healthcare software vendors and medical device producers. IT services and technology was among the top three sectors that saw major M&A activities during the first half of 2019 in India, according to data compiled by Thomson Reuters. The sector saw deals worth $5.3 billion, up more than two-fold from the year earlier, the data showed. However, overall M&A activit ..

When you have ever purchased or believed of buying supplements on the internet, you'd realize that a seemingly uncomplicated activity can frequently feel daunting having a tide of concerns and doubts inside your mind. Which can be the very best supplement for me? Does it have any prospective side-effects? How speedy will the delivery be? I hope it is not fake?! Get a lot more information about Supplements
These are just a number of the many doubts that scare us when we are concerning the click the 'buy' button on any site on-line.
We've got listed down 5 Critical things which any consumer must try and look for on the web site they intend to get from to get a greater transparency of things:
1. Social Media: A Facebook page speaks volumes regarding the brand in the event you know the type of points to become aware of. By far the most critical is look at the brand following. This may immediately inform you how well known the brand is among folks and if they truly post content material like presents and so forth that is worth following them or buying from them. The second point to think about will be comments left by shoppers. Facebook reviews are one of many incredibly couple of verified and genuine testimonials as they have come from an active profile.
2. Returns Policy: Among the most significant points to seek out and read on any website you want to get from. An easy return & refund policy must be clearly stated with a link in the footer. Please be sure to study every word of this document so you know you are covered in case you decide to send the supplement back if you aren't happy with it.
3. Authenticity: If the above doesn't help prove this, then ask questions if the product is genuine and authentic. We encourage shoppers to download a free barcode scanner app on their smartphones and always scan the barcode at the bacof the supplement whether they are buying at a retail store or if they purchased on the web. Furthermore, the details in the product including batch number and expiry dates can be emailed directly to the brand for them to verify authenticity.
4. Logistics Partner: Uncover out who they partner with for courier services and if Cash on Delivery is available. Most good courier partners will ensure a safe protocol and a rapid delivery to your doorstep. COD relieves you with the stress of any possible fraud as you only have to pay when the goods arrive.
5. Live Chat: If the site provides a live chat option, make sure you ask all queries relating to the top products, presents and any on-going discounts. An interactive web page ensures all your queries are answered before purchase and also makes it easier to contact the team for any post-purchase doubts.

I'm pretty new to data modeling, so please excuse me if I've missed something obvious. I'm trying to decide on a schema (or possibly a DBMS) to work with some data where there are quite a few possible attributes (60-100 maybe), but only a handful will apply to each record. Here are my options as I see them.
Option 1: Very wide table
Just include each of the attributes as columns and most will be NULL for any given record.
Pros: keeps schema simple, keeps queries simple
Cons: inelegant, unwieldy, adding/removing properties requires a schema change
Option 2: Entity-attribute-value model
Separate table(s) for listing attributes and their values. This is how I've seen this problem handled before. For example, WordPress uses something like this for their
*meta tables.
Pros: easy to understand conceptually, flexible
Cons: query construction becomes a pain, performance suffers, you wind up with a lot of duplicated data (i.e. the same property name is listed over and over).
Option 3: NoSQL Document or Graph DBMS
Go with a DBMS that's built to handle schema-less data. I've looked at MongoDB, RethinkDB, and OrientDB. OrientDB looks really cool, but I don't know Java, and it seems like it's primarily a Java thing (the PHP driver, for example, looks problematic).
Pros: built to handle flexible schemata, fast
Cons: relationships seem difficult, I have no experience with them, seems like a lot of duplicate data (e.g. what happens if I want to change the name of a property?), querying seems way more complicated
As a side note, this application will not get very much traffic, and will have very few concurrent connections. So, scalability is a fairly minor concern. Thanks for any suggestions.

Sixth album from this Seattle based band, contains no real surprises, and no deviations from the formula that has so far proved a success. Snapped up by a major, they still enjoy relative artistic freedom, no doubt in the hope that they will shift truckloads of units. Tipped as the next big thing and with many journalists sucking up to them big time, DCFC-the name derives from a song by The Bonzo Dog Band-have a great deal to live up to. To be brutally honest they get nowhere near it, coming across like New Order on Mogodon on 'Soul Meets Body' and 'Title and Registration' and a sloth like John Lennon on 'Different Names for the Same Thing'.
The whole thing meanders along aimlessly from start to finish, with no defining hooks, changes of pace or emotion. Ideal when played alongside Katie Melua at a dinner party, but about as pointless as nouveaux cuisine when you've got a huge appetite.

Every year I pay for your service. Every year I fill out the renewal form and request a letter of proof of insurance. My insurance companies NEED something in writing that I have liability insurance. You never send me one. PLEASE send one to me.
I don't understand why you don't do this as I believe everyone who uses your services needs this. If I don't get one again this year I will be changing insurance companies. This shouldn't be so difficult!

My initial goal, when I wrote about attribution, was actually to talk about the configuration option named "Override Last-Touch Channel" in the Marketing Channels reports. However, I realised I needed an introduction to make it clearer and I wrote my previous post. Now I can go into the details of this technical feature and its consequences.
Analytics Tips
Some Thoughts on Attribution
During the EMEA Summit 2019, one Adobe customer asked me about one detail of the Marketing Channels configuration. The conversation we then had around this question, reminded me of the confusions some managers tend to have about attribution. Let me clarify a few things about this topic.
Hybrid Analytics
The last tool I showed in my Summit lab was Adobe Analytics. Initially, I was not sure whether I should write about it. However, I have come up with some ideas to share and here you have the final post on this lab.
Of visits and sessions
As I have said a few times, it is very easy to measure page views. I have also explained how to measure visitors. There is, though, another typical question to answer: how many times has a visitor visited our website? Seems like a simple question, right? Well, it turns out, measuring visits is not that simple.
The User-Agent (Part II)
This is the second part of the User-Agent mini series. I split the topic into 2 posts, as it was getting too long. If you have not read the first part, I recommend you start with it. I will now explain how Adobe uses the User-Agent HTTP parameter in the different tools.
Adobe Analytics Data Warehouse
I tend to write about new features of Adobe tools or "cool" ways of using it. That does not mean that I have forgotten about good old features and this is what I am going to do today, explain one of the basic tools of Adobe Analytics: Data Warehouse.
Multi-tenancy in Adobe Analytics
A few weeks ago I introduced the concept of multi-tenancy in the Adobe Experience Cloud. Adobe Analytics has had support for multi-tenancy for a very long time. Recently, all user administration for Adobe Analytics has been moved to the Admin Console, where you now configure everything. Read on if you want to know how to configure multi-tenancy in Adobe Analytics with this new setup.
Real-time reports
Today I am going to explain one of those features you rarely use, but it can be very useful in certain circumstances: real-time reports in Adobe Analytics. As its name implies, with this feature you can get certain reports in real-time.
Adobe Analytics Attribution IQ
Until last Thursday, I had an idea of what would this week's post was going to be about. However, on Friday, it all changed. I saw the internal presentation of Attribution IQ and I changed my mind. I know there are a few series I have not finished, but I think this is more important. But do not worry, I will resume my other series soon. Let's dive into Attribution IQ!
Server-side Adobe Analytics
Today I will explain how to implement server-side Adobe Analytics. If you have been reading my last few posts, this is a continuation of the series on server-side digital marketing. I assume you are familiar with Adobe Analytics implementations using JavaScript.


text: It is and was the best Tool for a clever research of the Word of God, and I think, I know what I say, as I know more or less all other Software. I have used it almost since their beginning, almost daily and sometimes many hours, with discussions with friends and so far. And one is able to do a lot of assistance for brethren and the assembly of the living God with BW. In my eyes the reason for closing down could be (just a thought, could be wrong), that BW is a profi tool for folks with much more need for in depth studies than other software users (but not to blame others using other software for certain reasons of course), and this group is getting less and less, as the interest in the Word of God is getting less and less. So probably, even if it is the best tool, the dear folks are no longer able to serve us. But thanks goes to the Lord Jesus, having provided such a clever and powerful tool, I can still do what I need with it, and I will not come to an end until the Lord comes, I will continue to use it maybe almost daily as I have done since I first met this tool - is it 20 years? Thanks for all the help and good things and the blessings and the help of the officials and users. I did not know that I could get so emotional towards a software tool, but to say bye is hard and it is a bad day for me. Expected the next update and got informed that it is the end. But the blessings cannot be taken away. All the best for you clever folks - never understood how you did it all, I only can explain this clever tool with much help of your redeemer Jesus Christ and love of the folks towards his word. Bye bye! Peter

Bathroom reworking is the best way, after kitchen transforming, to increase the gross sales value of your house. For instance, in the event you make the decision to have your lavatory professionally remodeled, you will need to pay a professional contractor. Los Angeles Bathroom Remodel has set a new normal for each high quality and affordability within the bathroom restore and remodeling industry. You are on the lookout for one thing new, so discover different sources for ideas in addition to the inside of your individual head. Some states or cities don't have any licensing requirements for contractors, which may make it difficult for homeowners to check up on contractors before they hire. Draw plans of your toilet looking down from the ceiling and looking out directly at every wall. Material prices can rapidly add up, but they're solely a portion of your complete funds.
If the lavatory isn't in good condition and you are not planning on promoting soon, you could possibly rework the bathroom and luxuriate in it for fairly a couple of years. When I was planning to transform my toilet, the contractor whom I called for reworking gave me a very excessive quote. From idea to completion, we have helped many householders in Mesa, AZ, and the encircling areas flip a fundamental kitchen into their favorite gathering house or a dated bathroom into a relaxing retreat. If it's essential remodel your property for accessibility, observe this recommendation from financial and tax pros to get the most return in your funding. Before you launch your challenge, a toilet reworking test listing may also help you gather your ideas in one place. In addition to the cost of provides and materials, you also need to find out whether or not there can be any extra costs. Contractors who function aboveboard needs to be prepared to share this information.
Make one a listing of requirements, and the second a list of non-obligatory things you would like in your toilet remodel if attainable. If you do determine to interchange or renovate an existing bathtub or bathtub encompass, plan to finances accordingly. Murphy's Bathroom Remodeling has renovated tons of of loos in the San Diego space. First you have to get the details of small rest room rework price that would require for transforming the lavatory. Then she visited her native toilet showrooms and requested the staff if they could suggest anybody. Don't forget to take digital footage too; they may all assist whenever you come to make shopping for decisions. We maintain your rest room as if it have been our personal and the result is a beautiful bathroom that's unique to your imaginative and prescient.
She had to arrange for contractors to turn up on the proper time and be sure that the new fixtures and fittings have been delivered on time to be accessible when the suitable contractors were on site. This is on no account an exhaustive record of all the bathroom options available, however a quick information to help familiarize you with some frequent reworking parts. Be conscious that particularly in lavatory transforming, contractors will steadily find hidden issues. Now this still does not make any sense, when you're still dropping cash, why would you even wish to remodel the lavatory. These 8 enhancements may be executed on their own, or together with a whole lavatory rework.
Have a look at our Ideas and Designs web page to get some thoughts on the way you want your lavatory to look. There are many choices of different toilet lights available beginning at the very inexpensive and moving up to very extravagant. Whether a toilet transform pays off when it comes to improved resale value typically will depend on what comparable houses in your neighborhood feature of their bathrooms. Once you've decided how a lot you may afford to take a position, it is a good idea to do some window searching for the supplies, fixtures and options you would like to include within the transforming mission. In addition, you can even find tubs, tiling and floors that you simply may need to use in your new toilet. We do toilet remodel Los Angeles CA – toilet renovation – common contractors. Most persons are more than happy to oblige especially if they've lately had their lavatory rebuilt.

One way to help your child become a better reader is to connect reading to writing. Stories are often good prompts from which to launch a writing activity. After reading "Sam, Bangs and Moonshine," discuss the story and the meaning of some of the powerful terms used in this tale. What does moonshine stand for? What term did Bangs use to define moonshine? Select some of the terms used to describe the weather that day. Talk about and draw pictures of thick muddy clouds and torrents of rain.
Give your child opportunities to read and write. This helps your child think about writing as a process that involves organizing ideas and expressing them in words, and putting words on paper.

Back in the day. Wish we lived a little closer to Deception Pass, such a great class there with Body Boat Blade. I did have to be fished out a minute later - that's FINE, I was playing hard at the upper limits of what I could do, and that's what makes a paddler get better.
So - four to take me home. Pardon me while I get a little more metaphorical here than I usually do, but have you ever heard it said that your body is your home? I think the business about your body being your temple is maybe more common, but I've seen the "home" description from time to time. Going with that, well, my "home" needs some serious work to get it back to a semblance of what it used to be, particular where it comes to paddling. In the not terribly distant past, I've been a pretty skilled paddler. Under the old BCU scheme I was a 4-star paddler, in the ACA, I'd gotten up to being a level 4 open water coastal kayaking instructor. I was strong, pretty fast, maybe not the bravest surfer in the world (seriously, every time I have ever gone to go into surf or whitewater I started out just about wanting to pee my wetsuit, but I always knew that if I could just get past that and get myself out there, I was going to have fun), but basically somebody who was able to get out in rough conditions, have fun, and show others how to do that too. If your body is a home, mine was a solid, comfortable, and strong one. I knew what I could trust it to do, and more often than not, when I tried something challenging that I wasn't sure I'd be able to do, I ended up being pleasantly surprised, finding that whatever it was was not just within my capability, but actually fun.
But then the home got hit by the surprise storm of cancer.
This is all getting to be a while ago now.
That's why it's frustrating that I'm still flailing around not knowing what I can do.
I found the lump in August 2015.
I had the mastectomy in October 2015.
I went through chemo from November 2015 through April 2016 and then had breast reconstruction surgery in late April of that year.
I was given the go-ahead to get back on the water pretty fast after the mastectomy, and my first paddle was almost exactly one month after my surgery. So much faster than I'd expected! Here, that was so awesome I have to put up the picture:
Now this was probably the shortest paddle I'd been on in years, aside from those where I was leading short trips for club open houses and such, but OH so satisfying.
I kept paddling through chemo. I was getting my foundation back together, and I think it really helped my attitude in getting through what was a pretty tiresome procedure - I did pick what I jokingly called "chemo lite", a regimen that was much gentler than the ones that make you lose your hair and your appetite, but it does run twice as long. I'm pretty sure that keeping myself physically active made it easier and it certainly gave me a mental lift to post stuff like this:

I'm pretty sure that keeping myself physically active made it easier and it certainly gave me a mental lift to post stuff like this:
And I continued working on re-solidifying my foundation through 2016. I kept paddling on weekends, and the Coney Island Y had a great deal for the summer so I joined and was swimming laps on weeknights, I was taking it all pretty seriously and actually working at it.
And then last year I let it all just kind of fall apart. We had some extra stuff going on at work, and I just stopped doing the work I still needed to do to get the "house" back in shape. I was doing some paddling on weekends but I stopped swimming. I did pick up Monday night dance classes after running into a dance teacher of mine from years back when I was doing a lot of Irish dance, back before I started kayaking, so that was good, and I had gotten back up to the point where I could keep up with beginner to intermediate groups and even take pictures and not end up getting left behind too badly (that was a shocker from an early group trip around Canarsie Pol in 2016 - I stopped to take pictures as my friends paddled by, and then I went to kick into high gear to catch up and EEK NO HIGH GEAR - fortunately TQ was along and came back to babysit me, but that was a shocker), but I just stopped making progress towards getting back what I'd had.
And I've lost confidence. A friend had once asked me if I thought I'd lost my nerve once when I got to talking about this, and I think I said "Not really" but I think I just didn't want to admit it out loud. The reconstruction I chose to go with involves a significant re-rigging of the chest muscles, with the pectoral muscle stretched over the implant to make the shape. It looks fine but it feel a little weird and although my plastic surgeon has told me that I can do anything I guess I'm not entirely trusting things yet.
And the rebuilding that I have done so far has all been on flatwater. With the exception of some fun class 2 whitewater last year in Colorado, I haven't tested things out in anything resembling rough conditions.
And at this point, because I haven't tested them in anything except flat water, I literally don't know what my skill level is these days.
So, this needs work.
For the fitness, I should get back to the swimming; I love the Coney Island Y but the Park Slope one is easier to get to so maybe I should just suck it up and join there. I did swim there once when the Coney Island pool was down for some reason and it was perfectly nice. Could try running again too - I've been finding my friend Jenn's Brooklyn Runner in Calgary blog has been getting me thinking about how running is such a wonderfully simple outdoor excercise; I used to run but I never enjoyed it that much but I think that was partly because I was always pissed at myself for being too slow (somewhere when I was a kid and running a lot more, I picked up the idea that a 9 minute mile was "respectable", which made being slow very depressing). I recently ran across a plan for getting into running (or back into running) that suggested starting with going out for a half hour WALK into which you insert short bouts of running, even as short as two or three minutes if that's what's comfortable. Then you build as the running gets more comfortable. Simple, and I do like to walk so this could work.
And obviously, I need to paddle more. I've been wanting to get weeknight paddles back into my life - those are so nice in the summertime, and I do get to the occasional club evening paddle, but I would genuinely love to make those a little more regular. One of the members of the Church of the Double-Bladed Paddle Facebook group had suggested the "2017 Challenge" last year, where members would log their miles and shoot for 201.7 miles. I was thinking about doing it and then just utterly failed - I have no idea how many miles I did paddle in 2017 but it wasn't anywhere close. I was thinking I might do a 2018 version. I have been tracking my mileage this year and I am going to have to pick things up if this is going to happen, it's mid June and I'm only at 54 miles, but between bad weather and a bad flu I did get off to a very slow start. I'm not saying this is a resolution - resolutions work about as well for me as 9-minute mile expectations, the only New Year's resolution I ever kept was the one that I would never make another New Year's resolution - but it would be something to shoot for.
So that's all a good enough plan and all stuff I can work on myself.
Getting the higher-level skills back up to speed is going to take some help. I think that the only way to knock out this stupid timidity is to get myself out with some instructors - except for the May whitewater class last year, I haven't taken any classes in a very long time. Now this is something that I AM determined to do this year; I didn't just magically get into a kayak and become a good kayaker, I have relied on a series of instructors who I trusted, and I think that getting myself back into some training situations is the key to getting back some of what I've lost. I don't know exactly what I'll do this year, there are budget limits and I don't have a car, but I'm starting out with a couple of days at the upcoming Hudson Valley Paddlesports Symposium that Facebook had been dangling under my nose for a while. I'm not expecting the rough water that I'm feeling like I need to get back into to really see what's still working and what isn't, but I'm expecting that this is going to be an excellent skills refresher and a good step back towards where I want to be.
After that, there are a couple of instructors around who I used to take classes from with whom I'd love to get back on the water. Bill Lozano's Atlantic Kayak Tours used to be at Annsville Creek, but moved to Norrie Point (first he just opened a branch there, then decided to make that the full-time location), so he's a little bit harder to get to, but I do see he's got something in NY Harbor in September - he's an excellent instructor and had a lot to do with my getting as far as I did. I don't see this on the AKT calendar but I would also give my eyeteeth to get in on a weekend in Rhode Island with him and his team - I did my 4-star assessment with them up there years ago and it was phenomenal.
Bill was actually the main mentor for instructors and higher level paddlers at Sebago for a long time, but he was more involved with the BCU back then, and at a certain time Sebago made the decision to switch over to the ACA. At that point Elizabeth and Gordon O'Connor-Dayton from Sea Kayaking Skills and Adventures started coming in to run our instructor training classes and other higher-level skills classes. They are also excellent instructors from whom I have learned a lot. When I started taking classes from them they weren't married yet and Elizabeth lived on Long Island; in 2010 they got married and moved to Connecticut, opening up a new company called Changing Tides for their business up there. The relationship with Sebago tailed off after that, and I'd lost track of them for a while; I actually went looking for Changing Tides last year, probably already thinking I needed to get back into some instruction, but couldn't seem to find them, but then Gordon emailed me to say hi sort of out of the blue last October and sent me the updated websites for their businesses. Also turns out that they're still teaching at Empire so that's another really good possibility - again, pretty quiet water there, but again, would be a great skills tune-up to spend some time with them.
And then there's a friend at the club who has been going out for some rough water practice pretty regularly - she's offered to take me along and I should take her up on that.
So...wow. Sorry about the novel, but there, more or less, is a plan. And to quote something my dad used to say to me when I was tackling school projects - I've planned my work, now let's see if I can work my plan. This should at least be a little more fun than homework!
To be continued (knock wood).

I am a public transportation user and advocate who has noticed wonderfully esoteric qualities about the people and regular personalities of my commute to and from the City to the Suburbs. At first, these observations were FB and Twitter posts, but many have suggested that these 'brain-dumps' are worthy of a more permanent spot in Etherspace.
DISCLAIMER: These posts are written between the time I embark on my journey to when I disembark at my station. The posts are written, tagged and an appropriate photo attached. Spelling mistakes are common and I don't make the time to correctly cite sources for the photos. There is no intent for copyright infringement in the use of photos.
Apologies in advance to those that are aggrieved, both by the photo borrowing and the bastardization of the English language. I'd blame it on the touch screen keyboard or autocorrect, but in the end, I'm the culprit. Mea culpa.

Day 1 – Reach out to a trans person you know
It's been an ( &x^F#@…expletive deleted) year or two for many of us. That is especially true for those of us who are trans or non-binary. We've watched our rights be eroded, listened to elected officials denigrate us, and been presented as a danger to our neighbors. All of this has taken a toll. If you can take only one action during our #30daysofaction, make it reaching out to a person in the trans community that you know. You don't need to apologize or sympathize or think of something witty to say. Simply call to check in. Offer to go out for coffee. Invite them to attend a movie. Send them an "I'm thinking of you" card or meme. Let them know with your actions that you know they exist, you know the times are hard, and that you care about them.
Take Action!

So on one hand, spending $150 for an e-book reader seems dumb because I probably wouldn't buy many books for it. On the other hand, there's a ton of stuff I could read that I'd otherwise have to sit in front of a computer to do (or find in dead-tree). Perhaps the attraction also stems from the desire to have an easier reading experience while in the Mothers' Room at work- it's hard to keep a book open and turn the page while your hands are busy holding a milking apparatus.
Am I falling prey to gadget marketing? This is a relatively recent (though enduring) desire. Also, it's not exactly cheap, though Christmas is coming, and thus perhaps it would be an ideal thing to ask my mommy for.
If I'm not just being silly, which should I get? I suppose I should go play with some more...

A Manawatu woman has been jailed for keeping her employees' PAYE and ignoring her own tax advice.
For more than a decade, Nicola "Nicky" Dargie considered herself "qualified by experience" and presented debt management workshops in Manawatu advocating the need to manage taxes with IRD as part of proper financial control.
In fact, she operated five companies that failed to pay more than $ 740,000 of her employees PAYE as required.
She's been sentenced to 2 years and 6 months jail in the Palmerston North District Court yesterday. She was also ordered to pay more than $ 11,000 in reparation.
It's the second time Dargie has been convicted for the same offending and Inland Revenue spokesperson Karen Whitiskie says she clearly hadn't learnt from past mistakes.
"In 2007 Inland Revenue prosecuted her for 17 identical charges for which she was sentenced to Community Work and Reparation; but Dargie wasted little time, re-offending within a new company just 3 months later," Karen Whitiskie says.
"Dargie was solely responsible for the PAYE compliance of five companies one of which even completed PAYE filing and payment for other businesses.
"All five are now in liquidation with more than $ 463,000 of the $ 740,000 in PAYE deductions still outstanding, excluding penalties and interest." As each company fell further into arrears, Dargie transferred her employees to the next company and continued her offending.
"Throughout the offending Dargie withdrew cash from the companies she operated as well as receiving wages," Karen Whitiskie says.
On 117 occasions, and over more than a decade, Dargie failed to account for more than $ 740,000.

The signs and symptoms of IBS are considered too vague to make a diagnosis. This will frustrate you as it means that you need to wait for testing to be done.
You can find a description of the testing you need to get an IBS diagnosis here.
It is important to get a diagnosis because you could have various other digestive diseases.
In this article, I will explain the main symptoms of IBS and what causes them.
Symptoms of IBS
1. Bloating Symptoms in IBS
Bloating is a common symptom of IBS.
In IBS, bloating is caused by trapped gas which leads to your tummy being pushed out. It may be the one symptom which really gets you down as it makes you tired, is uncomfortable and can make you appear larger than you are.
You can read more about the causes of bloating here.
Stomach Pain and Cramping Symptoms in IBS
IBS causes abdominal pain at least 1 day / week (1).
This symptom is thought to be caused by hypersensitivity in the gut. This means the gut is often telling the brain you are in pain when there is nothing going on.
Not ideal is it?
2. Excess Gas
Everyone farts and burps!
But it is quite embarrassing having to deal with gas you can not control isn't it – pretty mortifying actually!
Excess gas is a real issue in IBS and is comes from changes in the gut bacteria. The symptom of excess gas may also occur due to a certain food malabsorption.
3. Diarrhoea is a Sign of IBS
Believe it or not, diarrhoea has quite a specific definition.
"Diarrhoea is defined as the passage of three or more loose or liquid stools per day (or more frequent passage than is normal for the individual)" (2).
4. Loose Stools
If your IBS symptoms do not meet the criteria for diarrhoea – check out the chart below.
The is the Bristol Stool Chart which you should use to monitor your symptoms.
Types 5-6 would be considered loose.
Constipation is considered a sign of IBS.
There is no real accurate definition of constipation unfortunately. For this one you need to look at your stool type and movement.
Ideally, you would open your bowels daily as a type 4. If your bowels are opening but they are difficult to pass or a type 1-2 then this is constipation.
6. Fatigue
If you are suffering with IBS then you will likely feel quite tired (3).
Fatigue is a symptom of IBS which is likely due to a combination of factors. Regular pain, bloating, constipation and diarrhoea will all make you feel fatigued.
You may also feel quite stressed and low in mood about your symptoms. Stress and a low mood have also been linked to fatigue.
7. Low Mood and Anxiety
Through the gut-brain axis, we know that mental health is linked to IBS.
So, it is not surprising that you may feel lower in mood or suffer with anxiety. In one paper, it was even suggested that people with anxiety and depression are twice as likely to suffer with IBS.
IBS signs and symptoms include a variety of issues. All of which will leave you feeling out of control and mortified as an adult.
Symptoms alone are NOT enough to get a diagnosis so please ensure you get this done!
If your symptoms are not included in this list, then please report them to your doctor – it could be a different issue going on.
AND finally, do not continue to put up with these symptoms! Get help as soon as you can do by working with a specialist dietitian.

The way the memory foam works by enabling you to sink down into it provides for amazing convenience and unequaled support. It totally relieves pressure and tension by removing what are called pressure points. Pressure points are caused by standard innerspring, latex, or air mattresses because they don't "give way" and actually "push back" versus your body. This forces you to toss and turn, get up with aches and discomforts, as well as partly block the flow of blood. The memory foam bed mattress avoids each one of this by totally removing pressure points. It eliminates pressure points by uniformly dispersing the weight of your body over the whole face of the bed mattress so it's not concentrated on specific parts like a traditional bed mattress does. Your body is nestled by the foam, meaning the parts of your body that are the heaviest such as your head, legs, hips, and shoulders are all held equally.

Rise Yoga studio owner Rosie McCaughey
You're in very good hands at Rise Yoga. Studio owner Rosie McCaughey is as experienced as she is down-to-earth and genuinely caring. She's got a diverse background with experience in physiotherapy, massage therapy, clinical Pilates, yoga and triathlons.
She says:
Yoga is about connection with people and that was the biggest motivating factor for opening the studio. People want, inspiration, empowerment and connection, not just fitness.
Rosie spent six months searching for teachers, "I'm really fussy about depth of experience, I want to make sure students are safe and taught the correct method, and for teachers to be able to connect with and care about people in the class," she says.
This is evident in the warm, friendly, non-intimidating environment Rosie has created. If you've never tried yoga before this is a great place to give it a go.
