Q: Spring MVC return view and download file I am trying to download a file and return back to the same view in case of errors.
@GetMapping("/report")
public String report() {
    return "report";
}

@PostMapping("/download")
public String download(@RequestParam("from") String from, @RequestParam("to") String to, HttpServletResponse response, Model model) {
   // Validate example
   if (from != null && from.isEmpty()) {
        model.addAttribute("error", "From is required.");
        return "report";
    } else if (to != null && to.isEmpty()) {
        model.addAttribute("error", "To is required.");
        return "report";
    }

   response.setContentType("application/application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet");
        response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=Report.xlsx");
   Workbook output = new XSSFWorkbook();
   // Populate workbook here from database query
   output.write(response.getOutputStream());
   return "report";
}

If I make download() return void and I do not try ever to go back to the report view, the file downloads perfectly. If I try to return a view in case of errors, it returns back fine when validation does not pass. If validation passes, I get:

I also tried to make download() return void and call return() in case of validation errors, but that opened a different can of worms as execution of download() did not stop.
How can I achieve this?

The Vinland Map
The history of the Vinland Map is a story of mystery, controversy and intrigue, involving large sums of money. (Currently, the Map is insured for $25M.) After almost fifty years, articles continue to be published and the Map appears regularly in the media.For the public, the story began in 1965. With no prior warning, Yale announced to the world its possession of a newly-discovered map, the Vinland Map. It was a map of the world, dated to AD 1440, showing an island, Vinland, identified as part of the NE American coastline. As such, it was the earliest map to show America. As such, it proved that the Vikings, not Columbus, were the first to discover America. The map was an overnight sensation. It changed people's view of world history and they wanted to believe that it was genuine.

A detail from the Vinland Map, showing Vinland and Greenland
For some time, scholars had been looking for evidence like the Vinland Map. Increasingly, they were becoming convinced that the Vikings had discovered America. But there was no archeological evidence to prove it. Suddenly the Vinland Map appeared, seemingly providing that evidence. And then shortly thereafter, archaeological evidence appeared. For years archeologists had been searching for evidence of a Viking landfall in North America and, in 1965, they found one, at the tip of Newfoundland. That archaeological discovery Vinland Closeup
A detail from the Vinland Map, showing Vinland and Greenlandoccurred just as the Vinland Map was being shown to the public for the first time. Once the Viking settlement had been discovered, no longer was the Vinland Map needed as evidence to prove a Norse presence. Rather, the discovery of the Viking landfall in 1965 seemed to legitimize the idea that the Vinland Map was genuine.
Few people had known of the Map's existence before 1965. Paul Mellon, a Yale alumnus and benefactor, had bought it for $1M in 1959, promising to give it to Yale if Yale could first authenticate it. So, for seven years, three scholars from the British Museum and the Yale Library - experts in maps and manuscripts - worked to authenticate the Map, without divulging its existence to scholars or to the outside world.. The three scholars were convinced that the Map was genuine and they were committed to proving it so. In 1965, as soon as the authentication was completed and published, the Map's existence was announced to the world... and Yale became the owner of the Map. . Today, in 2006, fundamental questions about the Map remain unanswered.
If it is truly a 15th century map, where has it been for the past 500 years?
Where did the Map come from? It first appears in 1957 in the possession of a shady Italian book dealer Enzo Ferrajoli, subsequently put in prison for stealing rare books from ancient libraries. In 1957, Ferrajoli brought the Map to the British Museum to be authenticated. (At that time, it was bound, in a modern binding, to an antique volume dating to the 1440s, the Tartar Relation TR.) Ferrajoli's request for authentication was denied and, later, he sold the Map to Laurence Witten, a New Haven book dealer, for $3,500. Another antique volume, also dating to the 1440s, the Speculum Historiale SH, then mysteriously appeared, as an item in the rare book trade, also brokered by Ferrajoli. The SH then passed into Witten's possession; whereupon Witten noticed that the wormholes on the SH, the TR and the Map all matched. Originally all three could have been bound together. This seemed to date the Map to the 1440s, thereby authenticating it. This evidence provided the rationale for Mellon's $1M purchase.
So where had the Map come from? Nothing more can be learned from the principals, Ferrajoli, Witten, etc., for they are all dead. Ferrajoli had claimed that he acquired the Map from another, unnamed book dealer but that adds nothing. Ferrajoli was convicted of stealing books from the famous Library at Saragossa, Spain; and the Map and the two volumes could have been part of his heist. We have no means of knowing
If genuine, how could the Map have been drawn in 1440 AD?
How could Vinland have been mapped in such detail on the Vinland Map? Watermarks suggest that the Map was created in Basel in AD 1440. The Viking settlement on Vinland was established and abandoned around AD 1000. How did the cartographic information survive 450 years to be drawn on the Map in Basel? It would have had to have been written down in the early Norse Sagas [AD 1100 - 1200]. (No record of such a Saga survives.) In the intervening 100-200 years, between the experience in Vinland and the recording in a saga, all knowledge would have had to have been handed down by word of mouth. Other means would not have been possible. No Norse maps have survived: the Norse never made maps: there is no word in Old Norse for map. With what accuracy could detailed geography have been encoded in speech and transmitted from generation to generation? That is a question we can answer.
The routes of the Viking voyages have been inferred from a close reading of the surviving Sagas, as illustrated here. (Landmarks can be recognized and distances gauged from the number of days at sea.) When the Vikings sailed to America, they would, as shown, travel up the West Coast of Greenland, cross the Davis Strait (only 200 miles wide at the closest point) and sail down the East Coast of Baffin Island and Labrador. We know from the Sagas that, sailing down the East Coast of Labrador, the Vikings identified three distinctly different regions of coastline which they named Helluland (Slab Land), Markland (Forest Land) and Vinland (Vine land).
Now in 1579, Sigurdur Stefansson did use the information, recorded in the Sagas, to map, as shown, the region including England, Ireland and the North Atlantic The end result is crude, schematic, hypothetical and bears no relationship to the true geography of the region. This map reveals the utter implausibility of generating the Vinland Map using data recorded by the Vikings some 450 years earlier. The VM cannot be genuine because there was no means of creating it in AD 1440.

A c. 1590 map of Britain, Norway, Greenland and North America, reconstructed by Sijurdur Stefansson from the Norse sagas.
If it was forged, who could have forged a work of such complexity?
No forger need be identified in order to demonstrate that the VM is a fake. That said, there is great interest to know who did it, why, how and when. So far, only one possible candidate has been proposed, Father Josef Fischer (1858-1944). Kirsten Seaver discusses the case for Fischer in her book Maps, Myths and Men, the most penetrating analysis, to date, of the Vinland Map. It is a matter of some relief to be able to identify someone who could have forged the Map. Little evidence is available to identify the forger. In some ways Father Fischer seems plausible: in others he does not. Evidence from carbon-14 dating shows that the VM underwent a massive intervention no earlier than 1953: Father Fischer died in 1944

Father Josef Fischer (1858-1944) identified by Kirsten Seaver as a possible forger of the Vinland Map
If it was forged, why was it forged?
Assigning motives may not be straightforward. In faking paintings by Vermeer, van Meegeren earned many millions and fooled the critics who, earlier, had rejected his own paintings. Revenge and greed could not have motivated Father Fischer. Instead Seaver suggests it was a prank.
Contributing factors
Information on the Vinland Map has not always been shared. Secrecy has induced resentment; and resentment has sharpened partisan attitudes. Yale's 7-year closed authentication was especially counterproductive. Just three experts participated and they lacked expertise in essential areas, such as handwriting analysis, Old Norse History and Culture and materials science. The need for secrecy disallowed the use of outside experts. Wrong conclusions were drawn. The published authentication was flawed. Yale has yet to acknowledge that its handwriting analysis was incorrect. This has happened not from an unwillingness to admit mistakes but rather from a lack of oversight, the lack of anyone with the responsibility to keep the record straight.
A provenance?
Bertram Schofield, Keeper of Manuscripts at the British Museum, was the first person to examine the Vinland Map, in June 1957, and he was the first to deny its authenticity - because it lacked a proper provenance. It is a curatorial axiom that no artifact can be authenticated without a proper provenance. Over the subsequent 50 years, no historical evidence has emerged to establish a provenance for the Vinland Map that could substantiate its authenticity.
The Vinland Map remains an enigma. Even if proved to be genuine or fake, questions as to its origin, will still remain unanswered and unanswerable.

I went to Newgrange. It was pretty awesome.
I love old maps. I could have studied cartography. But it's not a hobby. I don't really know much.
So many inbred royal lines. (worldwide) No wonder they became crazy enough to call themselves God-Kings.
lol, you watched it, huh ...
And why they developed genetic defects, such as the hemophilia of the last Russian Tsar and his family.
it's unnatural what they do to preserve power and resources in order to 'lord' it over people. It is totally human and shows the inherent ability of humanity to overcome genetics, but yet still fall prey to the 'evil gene'. Perhaps ancients were experimenting with their 'power' as new humans. Hopefully it was a bygone stage of humankind's journey to becoming fully human and to then transcend that.

Congress will reconvene this week to discuss the proposed $15 billion rescue plan that would hopefully salvage both General Motors and Chrysler. Although they are closer to finalizing a plan of action for the troubled companies, they are still met with reluctance from certain individuals.
Alabama Senator Richard Shelby, who has been outspoken about his disdain for any auto rescue plan, is supporting a filibuster that would put a halt to the legislation and instead prompt a lengthy debate about the issue.
Dodd, however, realizes it is a time-sensitive issue and focused during the interview on the fact that the auto industry could completely sink in the next few weeks if nothing is done. "Even if people don't like this idea, none of us want to wake up January 1st and discover we don't have an industry to save." According to the Connecticut Senator, 1 out of every 10 jobs in the U.S. is either directly or indirectly related to the American auto industry.

Q: Minipage and multicols, vertical alignment I want to create two columns next to each other. The left side contains a text in two columns using the multicol package. On the left side is some other content.
I've tried minipage, but in combination with multicol it fails in vertical aligning both minipages correctly.
Minimal working example:
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}
   \begin{minipage}[t]{0.5\linewidth}
        \noindent
        \begin{multicols}{2}
            \blindtext
        \end{multicols}
    \end{minipage}
    \begin{minipage}[t]{0.5\linewidth}
            \blindtext
    \end{minipage}
\end{document}

The result, with a vertical misalignment of the top of both texts:

Am I doing something wrong here?

A: You have to set an anchor at the top for [t] to take effect, because the top line inside the multicols environment is not the top line in the enveloping minipage: \vspace{0pt} is sufficient. Also you need to countermand the insertion of a glob of glue (we need to back up by the difference between \topskip and the height of a strut) and to set an initial \strut to ensure good alignment between the baselines.
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{multicol,calc}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}

\noindent % or the indent would apply
\begin{minipage}[t]{0.5\linewidth-0.5em} % some separation
  \vspace{0pt} % anchor for [t]
  \vspace{\dimexpr\ht\strutbox-\topskip}% remove excess glue
  \begin{multicols}{2}
    \strut\makebox[0pt][l]{\vrule width 10cm height 0pt depth 0.1pt}%
    \blindtext
  \end{multicols}
\end{minipage}\hfill
\begin{minipage}[t]{0.5\linewidth-0.5em} % some separation
  \vspace{0pt} % anchor for [t]
  \strut\blindtext
\end{minipage}

\end{document}

The rule shows the alignment. Thanks to Frank Mittelbach for spotting a mistake.

A: Wouldn't using paracol and multicol be an easier approach?
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{paracol}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{mwe}

\begin{document}
   \begin{paracol}{2}
       \begin{multicols}{2}
            \blindtext
        \end{multicols}
  \switchcolumn
     \blindtext
  \end{paracol}
\end{document}

The 11th day of November means something to many of us who live in Western society. It is a day on which we pause to remember those who have sacrificed their lives for the freedom that we enjoy and take for granted. We think of those veterans who fought in the Second World War against Nazism and Fascism. We think of those solders who, even now, fight for our ideals and for the freedom which our countries hold dear.
Even though I teach young children of 5, 6, and 7 years old, I encourage them to think about what this day means for us. They may not yet understand the concept of freedom and what it means not to have it, but they come to understand that the task of our soldiers is important – and that we show our gratitude for their sacrifice on this day. I cannot have a philosophical debate with them as I would with older children – but I can plant the seeds for this day's meaning in their minds.
One way to encourage this day to mean something to the children, is to use the medium of art. This year I thought of using the basis of a mixed media art project that I had seen in a newsletter sent out to teachers by Crayola. I hope that when my students look at this project in the future that they will remember the reason why we made it.
I was lucky enough to have a student volunteer help me prepare the letters for the project – she cut them out for me before working with the children in small groups on the project. The pre-cutting certainly helped the children to finish the task relatively quickly.
We worked on the project over two days – the painted background on newspaper had to dry before they could paste on their poppies and letters. Some children complained that ripping the construction paper was difficult – but the result was more effective than if they had cut the red paper. And ripping the paper is a small way in which to strengthen their fingers.
I like the presentation of their projects on the board outside of my classroom. For the next week as people pass by in the hallway, they will remember.
What did you do to remember on 11 November?
(This post is linked to Stream of Consciousness Saturday. The prompt is: mean(s).
Those collages are so pretty and although your students are young, they can learn about history.
I agree they can. And it's important, I feel, that they know how lucky they are to be living in Canada.

Speech-Language Pathologist Perspectives of the Implementation of Telepractice-Delivered Stuttering Treatment for School-Age Children
posted on 2022-01-11, 03:41 authored by Shane EricksonShane Erickson, Kate BridgmanKate Bridgman, Lisa Furlong, Hannah Stark
PURPOSE: The impact of stuttering can be significant, and effective treatment is critical. Despite evidence supporting direct treatment approaches for school-age children who stutter, a complex set of barriers can prevent access at school. One potential solution is telepractice. To date, however, there is no published evidence regarding the use of telepractice to deliver the Lidcombe Program within a school setting. METHOD: In this pilot study, a telepractice service was established and the perspectives of the five treating speech-language pathologists (SLPs) were evaluated before, during, and after the trial through focus groups and recorded telesupervision sessions. RESULTS: An inductive and reflexive thematic analysis identified four main themes: (a) Understanding and managing technology is critical; (b) logistical considerations can be time-consuming and challenging; (c) preparation and support are essential; and (d) family engagement, acceptance, and independence with telepractice services can be facilitated by external support and coaching. Initially, the SLPs shared feelings of uncertainty, fear, and apprehension. Yet, despite this concern, the SLPs ultimately reported that telepractice can play an important role in their service. CONCLUSIONS: In order to maximize the potential value of telepractice, SLPs require training and support to (a) manage the technology and troubleshoot problems that invariably arise, (b) have the opportunity to watch demonstrations of the technology, and (c) clearly explain the roles, responsibilities, and expectations of the parent engaging in treatment. These findings have particular relevance now, as schools and support services navigate a COVID-safe delivery model for the indefinite future.

A cranberry like me thinks of itself as the self-sufficient type. Millennia ago, as one of a handful of fruits native to North America (along with blueberries and Concord grapes), I eked out an existence in the sandy, acidic, waterlogged soil of glacier-formed bogs and other inhospitable spots in the continent's colder regions. In an environment that many plants would have found impossible, my shrubby vines flourished, my little green fruits turning white, then pink, then red as autumn deepened toward winter.
Native Americans picked my wild berries, eating them dried with deer meat, mashing them into antibacterial poultices for wound healing, and transforming the red skins into dye. When the Europeans arrived, my vitamin C helped them avoid scurvy.
Despite these attributes, my fame could have remained limited. After all, my raw flesh is an acquired taste, to say the least—so tart and tannic that it takes more than a small amount of sugar to make me palatable. I might have been a mere novelty that shows up at the farmers market for a short season—the way, say, gooseberries or fiddlehead ferns do, stumping home cooks unfamiliar with how to incorporate them into a meal.
But in 1863, when President Abraham Lincoln was desperate to offer his war-torn country a small note of unity, he declared Thanksgiving a holiday (before then, it had been celebrated irregularly, on different days in different regions). When Gen. Ulysses Grant ordered Thanksgiving dinner for the troops the following year, he put cranberry sauce on his precedent-setting menu. With that, my place on the holiday table was cemented. I can only imagine what would have happened had he picked applesauce instead.
My sauce, by the way, nicely illustrates my self-sufficiency: Many other fruits require careful additions of pectin and acid to properly render them into jams and jellies—which is what this "sauce" really is—but I already contain enough of those two things. So with only water and sugar, any kitchen rube can easily cook me into a condiment that adds zing to an otherwise heavy holiday meal. I am the training wheels for the novice jam maker. Here are more reasons you should be eating more cranberries.
Sadly for me, the damage had been done. Even President Dwight Eisenhower skipped cranberry sauce that year. He ate applesauce instead.
The scare woke up the cranberry growers, the majority of which were (and still are) part of a cooperative of hundreds of small farms called Ocean Spray. There was a clear need to diversify, so Ocean Spray started promoting the cranberry in forms unconnected to the holidays. That's how cranberry juice cocktail, cran-apple juice, cran-grape juice, and eventually a dried-cranberry snack called Craisins took off. The ubiquity of these products transformed me from a holiday specialty to a year-round staple, landing me in granola bars, boxed cereals, and even cocktails such as the cosmo.
My unlikely success story isn't without its kinks. There's currently a serious oversupply of cranberry crop, due to Americans buying less juice. And climate change is rendering the warm days and chilly nights of a northeastern autumn closer to a thing of the past. When temps aren't cool enough at night, I don't ripen as effectively.
Am I self-sufficient enough to weather changing market demand and shifting climate conditions? Only time will tell, but if you put your money on a persevering sourpuss that has overcome its share of challenges, I wouldn't blame you for a minute.
Put your cranberries in a lidded pot. Add half an inch of water at the bottom, then a generous dose of sugar—one cup per 12-ounce bag of cranberries. Put the lid on and bring the water to a boil; when the steam starts to break things down, uncover the pot and stir occasionally. Cook until the sauce is at your desired consistency: If it gets too thick, add water; if it's not sweet enough, add sugar; if it's too sweet, add lemon juice at the end to balance. Season with a pinch of salt. To get fancier, start the cooking process with orange peel that you remove later, or add grated or finely minced fresh ginger. You can also sprinkle in cinnamon, clove, star anise, or tarragon, or spike the sauce with jalapeño or hot red chili pepper. Next, read about the healthiest foods you can buy at the supermarket.

I just wanted an xray. Some discussion. Anything.
And she knows I'm allergic to opioids, so where is her brain at?
I just put a blurb in the post about that, I felt that way too, so WTF?
Thank you my dear. I know you get it.
This is ridiculous. Mental health is part of your overall health. As your PCP, she is the foundation and needs to know about all aspects of your health. G's doctor and clinic is connected with one of the universities and they are great at keeping each the other doctors and nurses informed through computers and communication.
Is your doctor in a clinic with others or by herself? Letting them know is so needed because so many people don't want to say why they are leaving. If she's by herself, maybe let the state medical association know too. Doctors have to attend courses throughout the year so that they can keep practising. Maybe, if enough people complain, she can take or retake a course on listening to patients.
This doctor is in a smaller practice.
I havent been impressed with the system connected with the university here….that neurologist is there, and he is fired too.
The only thing this PCP seems to do is place referrals.
So much is happening here that stresses me. My BP is rising, it's always been low before.
I have a good therapist now, I'm going to ask her is she can reccomend someone.
Hard to 'like' this post. Just confirming I read it. WHo's afraid of mental health issues? Doctors!!! They are afraid of chronic pain patients too. Many are afraid of hard cases. My doctor told me that. Not my opinion, the truth! In the meantime though… just who the hell are we suppose to trust??? Who do we see for health care? Keep looking… sorry this happened. Glad Stuart was with you.
Yes!! How do I find doctors I can trust?
I'm not happy with the migraine dr. So I'm going to see a new one. I'm getting a second opinion on my psych meds.
Now this! I dont have time for this crap.
I wish I had answers for you… a USA list of good docs is what we need. Even then, the good ones don't take on new patients. One thing I eventually say when seeing a new doc is, "I don't need you to fix me, I want your help with managing it [whatever the issue is]." Seems to work, most of the time. I never say this right way, I let them get warmed up, into their regular mumbo jumbo… you need a stress test, lets try Neurontin, you need to excercise… then, BAM! I spring it on them. "Just help me manage it." I have seen doctors relieved and I have seen doctors (usually specialists) get pissed off after I say this. Proceed with caution! Thinking of you , Wen!
Implicit bias. Meta-analysis: Thirty five peer-reviewed articles found evidence of implicit bias in healthcare professionals; all the studies that investigated correlations found a significant positive relationship between the level of implicit bias and lower quality of care. This applies to race, gender, religion, and mental illness.
Most of them aren't even aware of it, though it has to be on a conscious level in some of the more flagrantly dismissive and assholish doctors. Calling them out on it, with the help of someone to back you (because we're nuts, why should anyone listen to us?), might be the first step.
Things changed drastically for me after diagnosis, just going from MDD to Bipolar, yet I'm still the same person I've always been, perhaps with a little more piss and vinegar. I avoided mental health care for years prior because I intuitively knew where it would lead. It wasn't until 'opening up' and being honest about the mental aspects of my disease did my allowance to participate in my own healthcare go down the tubes. A depressed person is still seen as credible because who isn't depressed in this day and age? But add a "bipolar" in front of "depression" and thhhpffft.
People with more "severe" mental illnesses (TRD, BD, and schizophrenia) are known to self-stigmatize, which over time decreases functioning due to an unwillingness to seek treatment out of fear, increases disability and makes things much worse overall. In a way, people like me perpetuate the stigma. It's an endless cycle. There's a reason this happens; we KNOW what will happen when we disclose this information to certain individuals. Self-fulfilling prophecy? Or acknowledgment that a majority of humans, even doctors, are closed-minded prats. It's anyone's guess.

Legal Area UK Tax Strategy
Return Policy and Legal Warranty
Boutique Returns
Corporate Privacy
This document has been prepared and it is intended to satisfy the reporting obligations foreseen under paragraph 16(2) of Schedule 19 of the Finance Act 2016.
This document will apply to Valentino England Limited ("VUK" or the "Company"), a UK resident company part of the Valentino Group.
In Valentino Group, a strong focus is dedicated to the corporate responsibility, where a responsible administration of tax matters and the accurate payment of taxes are two of its pillars.
1. Approach of the Valentino Group and UK Companies to risk management and governance arrangements in relation to UK taxation
1.1 Tax Governance
The Company has a strong focus on responsible tax administration.
Day-to-day tax responsibility sits together with the Head of Group Tax and the UK Finance Manager, who is also responsible to ensure that Company tax accounting representation is appropriate.
The Valentino Group risks and issues, including the ones related to taxes, are considered by Valentino Group management and by the Group Audit Director on a regular basis.
The Board of Directors of VUK is ultimately in charge for the oversight of risk management and governance arrangements of the UK business.
1.2 Tax risk management
Presently the Valentino Group has companies in 24 countries (including the UK) and it is exposed to a variety of tax risks as follows:
tax compliance and reporting risks,
transactional risks,
reputational risks.
In order to mitigate all of them, the Valentino Group and VUK aim to put in place the resources, governance, processes and controls necessary to ensure that local tax filings and reporting are robustly prepared.
The business is supported by different functions, including the Group Tax, the Group Controlling, the Europe Retail Controlling and the Group Internal Audit, but also from external tax advisors and auditors.
Moreover, where appropriate, Valentino Group and VUK consider positively to contact local tax authority (i.e. HMRC) to disclose and resolve issues, risks and uncertain tax positions.
The Company is liable to account for a broad range of UK taxes including corporation tax, VAT, PAYE, National Insurance Contributions, and Stamp Duty Land Tax. VUK is committed to compliance with UK tax law, regulation and disclosure requirements by:
filing complete and accurate returns on a timely basis,
paying the right amount of UK tax at the right time,
seeking advice from external advisors to provide additional expertise where considered appropriate.
Nevertheless the subjective nature of tax legislation means that it is often not possible to fully mitigate all known tax risks.
2. Attitude of UK Companies to tax planning
UK recognizes to have a responsibility to pay an appropriate amount of tax in the UK jurisdiction (the same approach is adopted by the Group in each jurisdiction where operates).
VUK aims to balance this aspect with the responsibility to its shareholder to structure the affairs in an efficient manner, in a way that the economic benefits associated with tax planning must never override the compliance with all applicable laws.
Consequently the Company will ensure that:
tax planning and arrangements are simple, based always on business purpose and well-understood.
business teams understand and consider the tax risks in order to minimize any exposure.
3. Level of risk in relation to UK taxation that the Group is prepared to accept
The Valentino Group's tax approach requires that, where tax law is unclear or subject to interpretation, the tax position is at least more likely than not to be allowable under applicable tax laws.
Consequently VUK will utilize all available tax reliefs and tax incentives where available in a manner which is consistent with the interpretation of the tax law and the as much as possible in line with the HMRC position.
This is the best position to avoid unnecessary and time consuming tax disputes wherever possible.
4. Approach towards tax disclosure in favor of HMRC
VUK seeks to meet all legal requirements, preparing and filing all appropriate tax declarations, tax reporting and tax payment obligations.
Valentino Group seeks to foster good relationships with local tax authority, and so with HMRC, in particular pro-actively supporting:
VUK's relationship with HMRC with the aim of minimizing the risk of challenges, litigations or damages to its reputation,
VUK's participation in any tax consultation process where it is expected that the matter under consultation will have a material tax impact on the Group,
VUK's collaboration with HMRC in case of tax audit.

New "Moneytou – powered by Mastercard" service will run on the Rakuten Viber messenger app, which boasts over one billion users worldwide
Wirecard will process all card transactions within the app, ensuring a seamless user experience
The service will quickly roll-out across Eastern European markets targeting 25 million users in the first phase
Wirecard, the global innovation leader for digital financial technology, is working with Rakuten Viber and its partner NeoPay to launch a new money transfer service for users of Viber, the secure instant messaging app. With Moneytou – powered by Mastercard, users will be able to quickly and securely send money to each other via the popular messaging app, which has over one billion users worldwide. Wirecard will process these peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions made with payment cards linked to the Moneytou service, with Libra Internet Bank acting as the local acquirer. After the upcoming launch in Hungary, the service will quickly roll-out across other Eastern European markets targeting 25 million users in the first phase.
Today's digitally savvy consumers increasingly crave the ability to make payments quickly and easily in a wide variety of ways: whether that is via traditional card products or through payment apps. P2P payment services such as Moneytou have rocketed in popularity in recent years. Recent research by Early Warning Services suggested that three quarters (75%) of millennials and over two-thirds (69%) of Gen Xers have used P2P as a method to send or receive money from businesses, family or friends. According to eMarketer, over $200 billion is expected to flow through P2P payment methods next year in the US alone.
Speed is of the essence in today's digitally transformed society. With Moneytou, the transferred funds will appear in the recipient's balance almost instantaneously, allowing them to be spent by card or withdrawn in cash. Further, to ensure a smooth and user-friendly experience, customers can register multiple cards within the Viber app. All transactions between users are processed by Wirecard.
"Rakuten Viber messaging is extremely popular, with the service now boasting over one billion registered users worldwide," explains Utku Ogrendil, Regional Managing Director of Wirecard. "For some time, users have used the app to share photos and videos. The ability to also share funds was the next logical step and we are proud to be one of the launch partners for this new service. Whether wanting to split a restaurant bill, collect money for a joint wedding gift or giving a child their pocket money, it can be done by just a few clicks."
"Our mission has always been to bring valuable solutions to users. We're happy to announce the launch of Moneytou – coming soon in collaboration with companies such as Mastercard, NeoPay and Wirecard. By using Wirecard's card processing expertise and technical support, we will be able to ensure a smooth, hassle-free experience for users wanting to instantly transfer funds to friends and family via Viber. We are excited to roll this out to a larger list of markets by the end of the year," comments Cristina Constandache, Chief Revenue Officer at Rakuten Viber.
"It's really exciting to be part of this project with Wirecard and to contribute to a unique payment solution that has the potential to be a winner in the entire region. This kind of partnership is perfectly suited to our organization, as we are highly customer oriented, agile and digital intensive," said Emil Bituleanu, CEO of Libra Internet Bank.
To transfer funds to family or friends, users will simply tap a separate Moneytou icon within the Rakuten Viber messaging app without the need for lengthy bank account numbers or sort codes. Users will be able to send up to 125,000 HUF a month, and up to 780,000 HUF a year.
Rakuten Viber is a free, fast and secure messaging and calling application available on Android, iPhone and iPad, Microsoft Windows, MacOS and Linux. Over 1 billion users worldwide use Viber to communicate with their loved ones through high-quality audio and video calls, messaging, and much more. All Viber calls and chats are protected by built-in end-to-end encryption, so you can be sure that your conversations are always secure. Viber also provides a paid international landline and mobile calling service called Viber Out to reach anyone, even if they don't have Viber.

One Kick
By Chelsea Cain
Paperback Original Paperback
Kick Lannigan, 21, is a survivor.
Abducted at age six in broad daylight, the police, the public, perhaps even her family assumed the worst had occurred. And then Kathleen Lannigan was found, alive, six years later.
In the early months following her freedom, as Kick struggled with PTSD, her parents put her through a litany of therapies, but nothing helped until the detective who rescued her suggested Kick learn to fight. Before she was thirteen, Kick learned marksmanship, martial arts, boxing, archery, and knife throwing. She excelled at every one, vowing she would never be victimized again.
But when two children in the Portland area go missing in the same month, Kick goes into a tailspin. Then an enigmatic man Bishop approaches her with a proposition: he is convinced Kick's experiences and expertise can be used to help rescue the abductees. Little does Kick know the case will lead directly into her terrifying past…

Instagram's rise to preeminence was accompanied by a growing number of people in need of an Instagram password hack that would help them find Instagram passwords of their friends, family or perhaps even complete strangers for a variety of reasons.

The Best Instagram Password Hacker Ever Created?
Regular readers of my blog know my story but for those of you who don't, let me give you some background on how I stumbled upon Account Hacker and why it is my Instagram Password Hack of choice.
A year or so ago, someone decided it was a great idea to copy pictures from my Instagram profile and re-upload them as his/her own. This really ticked me offer and I decided to contact Instagram to get them removed – they never even responded my request. I then realized I had to take matters into my own hands and decided I had to find a way to hack the perpetrator's Instagram password.
I spent a great deal of time searching and testing Instagram hacking tools, methods for finding Instagram passwords and exploits, none of them worked until I halfheartedly gave Account Hacker a try and…bingo! It got the thief's password in MINUTES, enabling me to shut down his account.
I think now it is evident why I'm so passionate about Account Hacker!
Account Hacker, as you have probably already noticed from the screenshot at the start of this post, Account Hacker is a fairly intuitive Instagram password hack, it has simple menus and offers step by step guidance through the entire process so that even someone with 0 computer skills (like me) can successfully hack Instagram accounts (among others) with it.
In order to hack your first Instagram password, you must first head over to Account Hacker's official website at http://account-hacker.com, once there, simply click on any one of the numerous download buttons placed throughout their website, this will start downloading a copy of Account Hacker on your computer.
Once the download is complete proceed to double-click on the file you just downloaded, this will start the installation process – to complete the install follow the easy, on-screen instructions provided, it will be done within a couple of minutes, at the end you will be asked if you want to run Account Hacker right away, leave the pre-ticked box on and click on finish.
You are now in Account Hacker's main control panel (as in the screenshot at the start of this post) and you're almost ready to hack an Instagram password! Start by selecting the type of account and service provider you would like to hack, in this case "Social Network" and "Instagram" respectively.
Afterwards, type your target's Instagram profile URL into the indicated box and finally click on the "Find Password" button to start the hacking process.
Allow for a couple of minutes and the target password will be yours!

I think I've gone beyond spoon-feeding with my detailed step by step tutorial on Account Hacker, the easiest and fastest Instagram password hack ever created. I think it is time you turn my tutorial into actions – head over to http://account-hacker.com and download their Instagram hacking tool!
PS: In case you don't have access to a Windows computer, they recently also released a mobile version for Android and iOS called "Account Hacker Mobile". If you want to hack Instagram passwords on Android or iOS, simply visit their website directly from your mobile device.


When veterans were returning from World War I, they coined a new term, "shell shock," to describe the fatigue, confusion, nightmares and lack of functioning they experienced. Today, this condition is called post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and it is now recognized as a medical issue requiring treatment.
About 23 percent of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans meet criteria for PTSD, according to Eric Meyer, PhD, associate professor at the Texas A&M College of Medicine and a clinical psychologist at the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) VISN 17 Center of Excellence for Research on Returning War Veterans, located at the Waco campus of the Central Texas Veterans Health Care System. Although researchers and health care providers are starting to better understand the underlying brain functions, there is no perfect treatment.
Meyer is directing a VA-funded longitudinal research program studying nearly 700 Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans called Project SERVE. This study, which is in its third funded phase that will continue through June of 2018, is examining mental health outcomes as well as problems with readjustment such as employment problems and difficulties with relationships. The study is focusing on modifiable psychological factors, including mindfulness. Among the study's key findings is that veterans' level of mindfulness predicts their level of functioning and disability after accounting for their level of PTSD symptoms. This study is also collecting blood samples for genetic analyses that will occur in the near future.
Meyer is also collaborating with colleagues in San Antonio and Boston on pilot testing with student veterans of what is called written exposure therapy, in which people write about their experiences in a brief, highly structured way.

Del 21 de enero al 28 de febrero de 1873, cuatro estafadores estadounidenses defraudaron al Banco de Inglaterra por valor de 102.217 libras esterlinas,  lo que equivale a casi 10 millones de libras esterlinas en 2015. Los cuatro hombres responsables de las falsificaciones del Banco de Inglaterra, los hermanos George y Austin Bidwell, George MacDonnell y Edwin Noyes, fueron condenados en el Old Bailey y sentenciados a cadena perpetua. El descubrimiento del crimen, y las subsiguientes investigaciones y juicios, recibieron una amplia atención en ese momento, y el London Times lo describió como uno de los "más hábiles intentos de aprovecharse de la compleja organización del comercio moderno".

Antecedentes
Los hombres responsables ya eran experimentados estafadores antes de las falsificaciones del Banco de Inglaterra. George Bidwell, de 33 años en el momento de las falsificaciones, había sido condenado a dos años de prisión en 1865 por su participación en la estafa de las tiendas de ultramarinos de Virginia Occidental. Su hermano Austin Bidwell, de 25 años en el momento de las falsificaciones, ya era un notorio falsificador de bancos en los Estados Unidos. George MacDonnell, graduado en Harvard, había estado llevando a cabo extensas operaciones de falsificación en Nueva Inglaterra y fue encarcelado en Sing Sing donde conoció a los hermanos Bidwell, que también cumplían condena allí.

Después de su liberación, los hermanos Bidwell y MacDonnell comenzaron a realizar varias operaciones de falsificación. Usando cartas de crédito falsas, los tres hombres defraudaron a los bancos de los Estados Unidos y Europa. Después de una campaña de falsificación en Brasil, los tres hombres se dirigieron a Inglaterra en 1872 para comenzar su plan para defraudar al Banco de Inglaterra. George Bidwell se puso en contacto con Edwin Noyes en Nueva York, quien se unió al grupo en Londres para la estafa.

Estafa

La estafa comenzó cuando Austin Bidwell abrió una cuenta de depósito en una sucursal del Banco de Inglaterra con el pretexto de abrir un negocio de fabricación de automóviles pullman en la región, para no levantar sospechas de sus grandes transacciones financieras. Durante los meses previos al fraude, Bidwell se comportó como un cliente común, depositando facturas genuinas que habían sido aseguradas por George Bidwell y MacDonnell en la cuenta.  Luego, del 21 de enero al 28 de febrero de 1873, el grupo falsificó y cobró más de 94 letras de cambio por valor de más de 100,000 libras, que luego fueron transferidas al Banco Continental. Noyes actuó como el repartidor del grupo, intercambiando los fondos obtenidos de los cheques falsificados por bonos estadounidenses y oro.

Detenciones y juicios

Las falsificaciones fueron descubiertas el 28 de febrero de 1873, cuando el banco se puso en contacto con el presunto emisor de un billete para verificar la fecha de emisión de tal billete, que no constaba en las transacciones que los falsificadores habían realizado ese día. Noyes fue arrestado al día siguiente, mientras hacía otro depósito en el Banco Continental. El resto de los conspiradores habían huido de Inglaterra; MacDonnell fue arrestado en Nueva York, Austin Bidwell fue detenido en La Habana (Cuba) y George Bidwell fue arrestado en Edimburgo (Escocia). Los cuatro hombres fueron condenados y sentenciados a cadena perpetua, aunque George Bidwell fue liberado más tarde en 1887 debido a su mal estado de salud, y Austin Bidwell fue liberado en 1892.

We've been actively supporting local young artists and the creative community by devoting the walls of our showroom to displaying the artwork of these talented and aspiring artists, giving them not only the opportunity to be recognised and rewarded for all their hard work but also giving them free promotion, to give them a step into the right direction.
We are dedicated to making an impact on the local community; we invite young creative people to participate in the photography space, which is built in our warehouse. Allowing artists to experiment and showcase their wares, designs, wallpaper, paintings, ceramics and furniture, as part of a backdrop of the lifestyle imagery we promote with our products. The imagery on display is then used as part of our marketing campaigns and publications, giving well-deserved recognition to the artists involved.
"Industville has supported my artistic practice for almost two years now by allowing me to exhibit my abstract paintings in their showroom and on their website. I am grateful for Industville's commitment to supporting artists and I am impressed by the teams communication, friendliness and genuine desire to promote my art work. Their beautiful imagery and iconic lighting have lead many clients to my work and I can't thank them enough." - Samuel Deacon

London Atelier of Representational Art (LARA)
We sponsored the refit of the new LARA studio for the next generation of artists. Supplying lighting to three of LARA's studio spaces, our lights decoratively suit the space, while also providing the perfect spotlight on life models and illuminating the sculptures built to support students throughout their learning. LARA is a well-resourced and highly professional atelier teaching the most fundamentally important aspects of art: drawing, painting and sculpture. This has a significant impact on keeping their workshops and teaching atelier active, preventing the temporary closure of the studio and learning space.

Supporting Don't Lose Hope Charity
We have been involved with numerous charities and often donate products to worthwhile causes as well as providing lighting for charitable giveaways. One recent such project, involved us supplying beautiful pendants to a charity known as 'Don't Lose Hope'. This particular charity is a new mental health charity, based in Bourne, Lincolnshire, which came about due to the ever-increasing amount of people struggling with mental health issues and the lack of appropriate support services, specifically in the geographical area which the charity serves.
The new service will offer means-related counselling service for all members of the community from age 4 upwards, as well as an innovative community café, offering access to free support groups, workshops and advice. This will be a space where anyone will be able to drop in and find someone to talk to, get involved in activities, make friends or just have a slice of cake and a cup of tea. We were very pleased to be able to supply free lighting for the project as seen below.
