Wholesale distributors rely on rebates, or chargebacks, from manufacturers to protect their profit margins. However, many distributors don't claim all of the funds to which they are entitled because their manual procedures are prone to error. This narrows margins and negatively affects profits. Using an automated chargeback management solution, wholesale distributors can eliminate errors, ensure that they file claims for all rebates due to them, and improve the quality of information used for making business decisions.
Wholesale distributors compete based on their pricing strategies, and they rely on back-end rebates, also called chargebacks, to protect their profit margins. Let's say a manufacturer offers a product to end customers at a price less than a distributor's cost. The manufacturer reimburses the price difference to the distributor after the distributor files a chargeback claim.
It's income to which a distributor is entitled, but many distributors give away this back-end money simply because they use manual, error-prone processes for chargeback accounting that allow valid chargebacks to fall through the cracks. Any administrator can keep track of one deal with one supplier. But when multiplied by thousands of suppliers and customers and hundreds of thousands of product agreement combinations, manual chargeback accounting is a liability. Inefficiency in the chargeback process has contributed to the steady decline in wholesale distributors' pretax profit margins across all sectors.
Imagine how much you can improve your profit margins by accurately tracking how much is sold to which customer over a specific period of time. You could accurately file all your chargeback claims – and do so in a timely fashion. You could say goodbye to lengthy dispute cycles, collect cash promptly, and redeploy your staff in positions that add value to your company.
You can leverage information technology to turn this dream into a reality. By deploying an automated chargeback management solution, you can improve accounting and administrative productivity to facilitate the chargeback process. In turn, the increase in operational efficiency and profitability will drive responsiveness internally and across your supply chain.
In this era of heightened competition, manufacturers frequently offer special pricing to distributors to cover the cost of providing goods and services to customers, making it especially important for distributors like you to track chargebacks. These pricing arrangements serve a number of purposes. One common scenario occurs when a distributor is asked to provide products to customers at prices below the actual purchase price paid by the distributor. The distributor recoups the difference between its acquisition cost and the customer sales price through a chargeback – also known as earned income, deviated billing or sheltered income in the food service industry, ship and debit in high-tech distribution, and special price agreements (SPAs) in the electrical distribution industry.
Essentially, the chargeback process results in a rebate payment from a manufacturer to a distributor. Because wholesale distribution is a slim gross margin business, chargebacks are a critical source of income to ensure overall profit margins are maintained.
Here's how it works. A distributor sets up a proof-of-performance agreement with a manufacturer that entitles the distributor to a rebate once it has sold a certain number of units from that manufacturer. The rebate may be graduated, so the distributor receives one amount for 100 units sold and another amount for 1,000 units sold.
In addition, there are purchasing and selling chargebacks. With a purchasing chargeback, a distributor places an order with a supplier for 100 units of a product and receives a rebate for purchasing that quantity. But the distributor may earn another rebate when it sells the goods to the end user. Sometimes a portion of the rebate is passed along to end users for specific promotions.
The chargeback process may seem straightforward, but it can often be complicated and labor intensive to manage. Pricing agreements offer incentives at various levels of the supply chain. These incentives may be offered as warranty recoveries, marketing funds, and pricing-related credits. These arrangements are formalized in agreements that can span multiple customers, cover a vast array of products, and remain valid for several years. They can change frequently, and they can even be modified retroactively.
Keeping track of it all can be a real challenge. Wholesale distributors often wind up using a collection of inadequate tools, including spreadsheets, e-mail, faxes, and phone calls. The process is manually intensive and prone to error. As a result, distributors miss opportunities to file claims, or they become caught up in disputes and lengthy cycles of rejections and resubmissions that increase the days chargeback outstanding. Ultimately, this inefficient process drives up costs, impairs cash flow, and undermines profitability.
From executives to accounting clerks, your staff has a vested interest in ensuring records are accurate and cash is collected in a timely fashion. Yet inefficiency in chargeback processing limits effectiveness, ultimately undermining your overall financial performance.
C-level executives, for instance, are responsible for implementing strategies that maximize margins and cash flow. Without accurate information and a clear picture of the margin earned on products, executives can't plan effectively. And because unclaimed chargebacks could lead to cash crunches, executives may miss out on growth opportunities.
Sales vice presidents are responsible for increasing market share and operating margin, as well as optimizing incentive programs for sales representatives. Without accurate chargeback information, they can't obtain accurate margin and revenue reports or secure critical deals. And inaccurate information on the revenues generated by sales representatives prevents them from optimizing their commissions.
Financial vice presidents must ensure all valid claims are created while minimizing both the claim threshold values and the time spent on handling disputes. Often, agreements are not available in time to create claims, it's difficult to capture all the claim data, and manual processes require high claim thresholds. Disputes, when they arise, aren't resolved in a timely manner.
Commissions are the lifeblood of sales representatives, and they want to be certain that they receive the compensation that is due to them. But because they may not have access to the most current chargeback agreements, their commission records are likely to be inaccurate. That means sales professionals have to spend extra time clarifying terms so they aren't inadvertently shortchanged in their paychecks.
Chargeback clerks ideally would like to close a larger number of claims on the first settlement run, reduce the overall claim settlement time, and increase their personal productivity. Instead, they are trapped by extensive manual processes, which increase the likelihood of error. They must access multiple systems – including some that are paper-based – to answer most questions. These staff members bear the brunt of chargeback inefficiency every workday.
Chargeback data is reported to the manufacturer in several ways, although electronic transmission is the most common method. Data may be broken down by transaction or summarized. Both distributors and external agencies, such as group organizations or data providers, report chargeback data. Often, this data needs to be cleansed and validated before it is processed for payment.
For example, chargeback information needs to be validated against contract agreements to ensure authenticity. You need to verify whether the sale actually took place and if the price or quantity was modified. Accuracy is imperative, so that means checking to see if any line items were overlooked and all the pertinent information is complete. Clerks need to determine if duplicate claims were submitted or if a claim was resubmitted with the same information on another day. They also need to verify that the customer was eligible for the price, discount, or rebate; that claim amounts were consistent with the agreement; and that the customer did not return the product to the distributor or the manufacturer.
You can streamline these processes by deploying an integrated solution that supports electronic data interchange (EDI). The solution should contain all the functions needed to handle chargebacks systematically and efficiently. You should be able to create a variety of contract agreements with multiple manufacturers and end users, validate contract agreements, settle chargeback documents based on flexible parameters, reconcile and resolve disputes, produce reports, and establish a full audit trail for the entire chargeback life cycle.
Armed with an integrated solution, chargeback clerks can work more efficiently. Once they off-load manual processes, they have more time to focus on claims that require additional attention. Sales representatives no longer have to worry about applying the wrong pricing because they have access to the correct pricing information when and where they need it. In addition, sales vice presidents, financial vice presidents, and C-level executives have accurate information, so they can make better business decisions.
Technology helps to build trusted relationships with suppliers. Both parties understand disputes can occur, but when they do, you and your supplier have accurate data to resolve them on an exception basis. You can work together to optimize chargeback agreements for a particular customer, region, or product. You can also improve collaboration by making claim information available on a supplier portal.
Most important, greater efficiency leads to a positive impact on your bottom line and a quick return on investment. The reduction of unclaimed dollars directly affects your overall margin and improves your cash flow. Your dispute handling costs are lower, and you require fewer chargeback clerks.
Wholesalers that use an integrated chargeback management solution – and incorporate best industry practices – can boost efficiency and profits. For example, a large electrical distributor with branch offices in multiple states and several countries reduced by 63% the amount of time required to file and reconcile special price-authorization claims. Time saved processing chargeback claims translates into cost savings and greater efficiency for the distributor and the manufacturers whose products it sells.
The streamlined claims process has improved the company's ability to track SPA claims from when it invoices end customers to when it receives credit from a manufacturer. The company receives credits faster, and better coordination of data has allowed the distributor to forge closer relationships with manufacturers. The distributor files 95% of its claims electronically over the new EDI-based system, with 80% of those items receiving electronic replies from the vendor. As those percentages approach 100%, the time spent on SPAs will decrease even further. Reducing costs for the supplier and distributor ultimately reduces cost to the end customers.
SAP has developed an integrated application that helps companies collect and track all the revenue to which they are entitled. The SAP® Paybacks and Chargebacks application by Vistex is comprehensive, integrated software designed for wholesale distributors. With SAP Paybacks and Chargebacks, you can capture chargeback data, manage claims, control varied and changing chargeback agreements, and ultimately transform chargeback management into a systematic and effective process. The software allows you to manage the entire chargeback life cycle – from initiation to settlement – and to minimize manual intervention to bring new levels of efficiency and accuracy to the process.
SAP Paybacks and Chargebacks is fully integrated in the mySAP™ ERP application. That means you can include documents from other enterprise processes, such as sales and procurement, in the chargeback process. And you can easily use chargeback information in your finance, controlling, and compensation processes. For example, chargeback recovery may affect incentive payouts to employees.
The complete integration of Vistex and SAP software also means there are no interfaces and up-front integration costs to manage; ongoing maintenance and upgrades are seamless. And because mySAP ERP is powered by the SAP NetWeaver® platform, you are assured of easy integration and flexibility in virtually any IT environment – all of which help ensure a low total cost of ownership.
You rely on chargebacks to protect your profit margin. But too often wholesale distributors give away this cushion simply because their manually intensive chargeback procedures are prone to error. You could simply hire more people to process chargebacks, but that would just increase your overhead.
Instead of struggling with manual processes, distributors should implement an automated chargeback management solution. This solution can streamline chargeback procedures and improve accuracy. Employees at all levels – from top executives down to chargeback clerks – can improve their job performance by having access to the right data at the right time.

Imagine, if you can the grim thought that you haven't packed enough books to read during your winter vacation. That happened to me last month. On the thirteen hour flight to Singapore I read all of Charles Cummings' 'Typhoon' and on the connecting flight to Penang was quickly getting through 'Hook', the fourth book in the classic Bernie Samson masterpiece by Len Deighton.
Once rid of the curse of jet lag I set about searching for a bookshop in downtown George Town. I found one which sold nothing other than local history which, although interesting, I was in the mood for some modern fiction and especially those by Asian authors whose titles may prove harder to find in the UK. On I wearily trudged in the stifling heat and humidity of a late Summer's morning, stopping to pause for a drink of water a woman opened a shop door next to me and said hello. I replied and looked at the shop and to my amazement it was a modern looking bookshop! Once in I felt a sense of air-conditioned elation as I saw the rows of books in front of me. I had found Gerak Budaya Bookshop.
The owner of the bookshop, Gareth Richards stopped to talk and, over a most welcome cup of jasmine tea told me of his desire to encourage more Malaysians to get into literature. A noble undertaking, Gareth also runs an editorial business and helps promote authors and cultural events in Penang. A former university lecturer, Gareth is passionate about books and his knowledge of his stock and the authors reminds one of how important a good, independent bookshop is to any community, anywhere. For me personally it was a great way to spend a couple of hours, I bought eight or nine books, mostly on South East Asia and look forward to reviewing some of them in due course.
The bookshop is located on the famous 'Street of Harmony', a truly brilliant advert for multiculturalism and religious tolerance. If you are keen to visit the mosques and temples nearby then the bookshop is the perfect place to round of a cultural tour. The collection of English titles is huge and there are of course titles for Asian readers. The subject range is vast and Gareth's staff are friendly and knowledgeable. For those of us who would love to visit more often then check out the website and see all of the new and upcoming releases in preparation for your next visit. You won't be disappointed!
Nothing beats a good bookshop, they're also the very symbol of civilisation and culture, long may Mr Richards continue his good works . . .
This is indeed my very best and favourable book shop ever or can I just quote 'temporary heaven' for me (?) before the eternal one. Completed my Pramoedya Ananta Toer and A. Samad Said masterpieces here. Thank you guys. Especially to Kakak (whom I did not know her name) and Gareth Richards whose stopping by and give a brief explanation about a book that I just bought, The Plaited Arts from the Borneo Rainforest.

$1M grant awarded to U. to study cosmic particles
Written by Jasen Lee
SALT LAKE CITY — Scientists at the University of Utah have been awarded a $1 million grant to study high-energy cosmic rays in Utah's western desert that are hurtling toward Earth.
The rays are 10 trillion times more energetic than particles emitted in a nuclear explosion and originate from violent cosmic events deep within the universe.
The award from the Los Angeles-based W.M. Keck Foundation will assist researchers in developing a new tool for what it says will help understand how the universe evolved, employing a technique known as Bistatic Radar.
Upon completion, the new facility created using the grant will be known as the W.M. Keck Radar Observatory and will be located in Millard County.
Established in 1954, the Keck Foundation was established by the late W.M. Keck — founder of the Superior Oil Company. The organization's grant making is focused primarily on pioneering efforts in the areas of medical research, science and engineering, and undergraduate education.
Initially, the observatory will share space with Utah's Telescope Array — the largest "conventional" cosmic ray observatory in the Northern Hemisphere, explained John Belz, radar project director and research associate professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Utah.
Utah's western desert offers low levels of light pollution and atmospheric aerosols, making Utah an ideal location for detecting and studying cosmic rays, he said.
In addition, the state's deserts are highly "radio-quiet" with low levels of human-generated high-frequency interference, which makes it uniquely suitable for tests of the radar technique, he added.
"We are at the frontier in our understanding of the origin of the universe's most energetic particles," Belz said. "These particles are hundreds of thousands of times more energetic than particles emitted from supernova explosions."
The main goal of the research is to understand the origins of these rare cosmic rays in order to gain a better understanding of some of the most violent processes shaping the universe, he said.
Victor Hess discovered cosmic rays in 1912 that have since been determined to be subatomic particles and radiation of extra-terrestrial origin, according to U. scientists. In 1991, the U.'s Fly's Eye Cosmic Ray Detector in Utah's Dugway Proving Ground recorded the highest energy elementary particle ever observed.
This particle was believed to be a proton traveling close to the speed of light and initiated a search for cosmic origins that continues to this day. High-energy cosmic particles are considered very rare. For instance, a square mile of the Earth's surface might be impacted by one of these particles roughly once every century.
Bistatic Radar is much less expensive than traditional cosmic ray detection techniques, which cost tens of millions of dollars. Scientists will attempt to use analog television transmitters and high-speed digital receivers to observe the range, direction and strength of high-energy particles in order to track the rays back to their point of origin.

The former boss of Call of Duty has become the new boss of Battlefield
Electronic Arts have announced that the team in charge of the Battlefield franchise has been joined by Byron Beede, the man who has managed the Call of Duty series so far. Beede spent almost two decades at Activision Blizzard and spent the last years as a manager of the Call of Duty franchise, whose engagement revived the mega-popular Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty Mobile.
His successful work has been recognized by EA as well, so Beede is now no more and no less than also a manager, who will make sure that the upcoming Battlefield is better than this year's Call of Duty. We already know that EA is also preparing a mobile version of Battlefield announced for 2022, so the need for Mr. Beed is all the more logical and interesting.
Electronic Arts emphasizes that this move "signals a strategic and long-term effort necessary for the further growth of the franchise", referring of course to Battlefield. The former head of Call of Duty will present his results to the founder of Respawn Entertainment, Vince Zampella, who took the lead over DICE in Los Angeles last year.
With this move, EA seems to have the perfect recipe to get Battlefield back in shape, which he admitted failed to sell in the 2018 Battlefield 5 case. On the other hand, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare alongside Warzone achieved record results a year later, while former EA CEO Andrew Wilson commented that a possible problem with BF5 was that they neglected Firestorm (their infamous battle royale) at the expense of the campaign for one player. Call of Duty: Warzone, therefore, had virtually no competition of its own, which further facilitated Activision's rivalry that has lasted between the two series for years.
Although there is no official confirmation yet that Battlefield 6 will have a battle royale mode, all indications are that it is Beede who will have a great responsibility in creating a worthy competition to Warzone. In the fourth month, DICE announced that the biggest team so far is working on Battlefield 6, so it is not crazy to expect that in addition to the classic and mobile Battlefield, a potential battle royale mode will find its place somewhere. If not already in parallel with the release of the six, then subsequently, as was the case with Warzone.
The official unveiling of Battlefield 6 is scheduled for June 9, when we'll have more smart information. Or at least we hope so.

Dunmow hit top spot after goalless draw
Dunmow Rhodes' George Burns
A point from a goalless draw with St Clere's was enough to send Dunmow Rhodes to the top of the Mid-Essex Football League Division One.
Dunmow started as they finished last week's game.
On a difficult pitch the players were fantastic in possession, moving the ball quickly to expose the St Clere's defence.
With their exciting pace Jake Buckland, Dan Trendall and Taylor Williamson all had good opportunities to open the scoring.
When St Clere's did get forward they found the Dunmow defence of Josh Burgess, Daryl Burton, James Watson, Charlie Cottrell and goalkeeper Josh Smith in great form, preventing the opposition to only one chance in the first half.
The second half continued in the same manner with Dunmow pressing for the opening goal.
Man of the match George Burns, in the centre of midfield, dictated play and his defence-splitting passes could not be finished.
When the final whistle blew to confirm the draw Dunmow felt frustrated, however this point put Dunmow top of the league for the end of October.
Manager and coach Reece Smith and Mark Williamson said after the game: "The guys have been brilliant in the first two months of the season.
"To see the team top of a very competitive league is testimony to the work the players have put in at training."

A: Anyway, thanks to @roaima comment, it was easy to fix actually.
Noting this for my future self:
sudo ip route add <remote-rdp-host> via 192.168.1.1

192.168.1.1 being my default gateway when no VPN is up.
You can use traceroute <host> to know which gateway is taken (or ip route get ...)
Another way is to delete default <vpn ip> so that it's not used by default for all traffic. In that case, adding explicit rule for <remote-rdp-host> isn't needed

For seven years, the professional indemnity (PI) market was relatively quiet, as the UK enjoyed an era of unprecedented growth. The economic downturn has completely changed that landscape, however, with insurers facing rising claims as clients are hit with professional negligence lawsuits. This has had an significant effect on rates and capacity, with further change expected for 2010.
The professions that have faced the greatest rate rises this year are surveyors and solicitors, and they will continue to do so. Marsh believes there will be rates increases of anywhere between 10% and 100% over the next 12 months, as insurers adjust to a four-fold rise in claims in 2009 compared with the previous year.
Meanwhile, the annual battle to find cover for solicitors before the October deadline was well-publicised. Small law firms specialising in conveyancing were hardest hit, with some premiums rising by 400%. The trend of targeting small law firms with premium hikes will continue in 2010, as underwriters seek to protect themselves from the greatest risks.
What is noticeable is that the rest of the PI market has remained stable. The general consensus is that professionals in IT, estate agency and media have escaped largely unscathed from rate increase. Despite the recession, the risk level still remains low for those groups.
At first glance, it might seem that PI market is flush with capacity for 2010. The share of PI for solicitors in 2009 rose from £217m to £241m, according to the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).
However, although there are no other official statistics for PI capacity in the UK, general consensus sways towards the view that capacity has shrunk. There are three reasons for this. First, insurers have scaled back and become more selective on the risks they write, having undergone an increase in claims. Secondly, reinsurers have also pulled back capacity, which is having a knock-on effect on primary insurers that have less capital. Finally, there is a feeling that we are heading for a 'W' shaped recession, rather than a more optimistic 'V'.
Despite this shrinkage in capacity, there have been two major new entrants into the market. Allianz, which signed up a team from AIG at the beginning of 2009 and started writing in April, and also AXA. AXA will be one to watch in 2010. The insurer has offered to create D&O and P&I products, and aims to write £50m premium by 2013. In the solicitors market, there was a late entry from Ukranian insurer Lemma, while Lloyd's-based syndicate Pembroke Underwriting dipped its toe into the sector for the first time.
As the PI market heads into the new year, insurers will be wary of their PI book. Now more than ever, what is needed is careful risk selection and sensitive pricing to see them through choppy waters.


What has the PS given to Finland apart from destroying our international image, labeling migrants and polarizing society?
The Perussuomalaiset (PS)* are one of the worst surprises that Finland got after 2011. If the latest opinion poll is anything to go by, the nationalist populist party has returned to the minor political leagues, where it was originally from.
While it was relatively easy for the PS to increase its popularity in the opposition with the help of a complacent media and politicians that turned a blind eye, being in government has been a totally different story.
As the polls show, the PS has been a paper tiger all along that believed, after two parliamentary elections, in its self-deception and forget its campaign promises.
One of these continues to be an empty promise that they will fix the Somali and Muslim problem in Finland. Like many of its empty pledges, they never will.
The PS is like cheap fast food. It may taste good after the first bite but the impact on your health is devastating.
Timo Soini and the PS tried to show – and succeeded – with poker faces these past years to defy the laws of politics like gravity and create a political revolution with the help of anti-immigration and anti-EU rhetoric.
The PS took a risk by joining the coalition government and they near-destroyed themselves in the process. Not only did they cause great harm to themselves, they have put in harm's way as well Prime Minister Juha Sipilä's government and all of Finland.
Due to the PS' serious woes, it may well be that we may have new elections as early as next spring.
Go to PS website here.
The failure of the PS not only has to do with its broken campaign promises but truth of the matter is that the party doesn't have any credible plan on how to lift Finland from its lethargic economic situation except be a rubber stamp of the more experienced Center Party and National Coalition Party.
True, the PS have put in a lot of effort to assure their ever-diminishing supporters that they are tough on immigrants and asylum seekers and have been instrumental in getting the government to slash development aid by 43%.
Immigration isn't Finland's main problem by a mile. By slashing development aid the government shoots itself in the leg and encourages more poor Africans to come to Europe because those aid projects aren't there anymore.
Why are fossil fuels, forcing migrant parents and children to live apart, slashing development aid and raising defense spending so important and how will they help make us feel more secure?
The PS has already harmed Finland's image abroad and polarized the country with its vengeful rhetoric.
It's most bill to to Finland during these wretched years from 2011 has been the loss of a precious time.

Xoom, a Paypal Service, Launches Secure Money Transfer Service to Mobile Wallets in Kenya
Xoom, PayPal's money transfer service, has announced that the company's customers in the US, UK, Canada and Europe can now send secure and convenient money transfers directly to mobile wallets in key markets across Africa with a focus on the underbanked segment.
This new service expands the company's offering to send money to mobile wallets in Kenya, Cameroon, Ghana, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe—with plans to include more markets in 2021.
Mobile money services are being deployed rapidly across emerging markets as a key tool to further the goal of financial inclusion. Financial inclusion is instrumental in lifting the undeserved population out of poverty—and for driving economic growth. In 2019, the number of globally registered mobile money accounts surpassed the one billion mark[1]. In Ghana, Kenya and Zimbabwe, over 60 percent of adults have mobile money accounts. This new service expands Xoom's offerings in Africa as the current service already enables money transfers for cash pick-up, direct banks deposits and mobile reloads to 41 countries in Africa.
"Sending money to Africa through traditional channels has always been expensive. We wanted to help bring down the cost and speed up the process to boost financial inclusion," said Julian King, Vice President and General Manager, Xoom. "There is nowhere else in the world that moves more money on mobile phones than Sub-Saharan Africa. While there are only five bank branches per 100,000 people as of 2019[2], there are 1.04 billion registered mobile money accounts in Sub-Saharan Africa[3]."
The cost of sending money through traditional channels to Africa is one of the most expensive in the world, with an average cost of 9.3 percent[4]. The cost of sending $200 to the Sub-Saharan African region averaged 9 percent in 2018 and in the southern African subregion, the average cost was 18.7 percent, almost three times higher than the global average according to the World Bank[5]. Xoom is helping to bring down the cost to significantly with average costs of sending money to mobile wallets in select African markets ranging from 2-4 percent of the transaction[6].
A pioneer in digital remittances, Xoom is a fast and secure way to send money, pay bills and reload phones for loved ones in over 160 countries globally. These remittances serve as a lifeline for many people around the world and are used to pay for things like utility bills, healthcare, education costs and emergencies.
The largely cash-based system of sending money across borders can be full of paperwork, high fees, standing in line and an ever-present uncertainty of when, and if, the money will arrive when it's needed. By providing fast and secure payment options for customers to seamlessly send money across borders by going online or using a mobile device, PayPal and Xoom are helping to expand and improve the financial health of millions of people worldwide.

No prosecutions likely over London's Grenfell Tower fire until 2021 – police
By Editorial Bureau March 7, 2019 100
LONDON (Reuters) – British police said on Wednesday that it was unlikely that prosecutors would consider whether anyone should face criminal charges over the deadly Grenfell Tower fire until the end of 2021.
Grenfell Tower, a social housing block in west London, was engulfed by flames in the middle of the night of June 14, 2017, killing 71 people in the country's deadliest domestic fire since World War Two.
Police have said they were considering possible criminal offences including gross negligence manslaughter, corporate manslaughter and breaches of the Health and Safety Act.
However, on Wednesday Detective Superintendent Matt Bonner, the officer leading the investigation, said detectives and prosecutors had agreed that they needed to take into account findings from an ongoing public inquiry before deciding whether any charges should be brought.
The inquiry is unlikely to hold hearings as part of the second phase of its work before the end of 2019, with its final report expected afterwards, police said.
That meant it was assessed that it was unlikely detectives could submit a file of evidence to prosecutors sooner than the latter part of 2021.
"We have always said our investigation will be thorough, exploring all reasonable lines of enquiry and examining all the available evidence," Bonner said.
"For our investigation to be considered thorough and complete, it must consider all relevant information and it would be wrong not to take into account evidence given to the public inquiry and its final report and findings."
He said families of the victims, survivors and the wider community had been informed of the decision.

Rear-End Accidents Can Cause Serious Injuries. We Can Fight For You.
It doesn't take much — only a second or two of inattention — for a driver to run his or her vehicle into the back of another person's car. The negligent driver may have been texting on the phone or fiddling with the radio or simply daydreaming, but the driver in the car ahead pays the price.
When the rear vehicle collides with the one in front, it transfers all its energy into the other car and throws the occupants forward in a sudden, severe "shove." This usually causes the victims' torsos to fly forward while their heads barely move; then, when their car comes to a stop, their heads are snapped forward. This can create injuries ranging from moderate whiplash to severe spinal cord damage.

The Rise of Water and Energy Self-Sufficiency
Since the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, a trend toward self-sufficiency has developed in the U.S.
At the national level, the focus on energy self-sufficiency is largely a reaction to a distaste for the use of oil from the Middle East but also the perception that it is important for national security to be energy independent. This requires capital investment in U.S. energy development rather than purchasing crude as a commodity from elsewhere.
In business, the trend comes from the growing requirement to limit carbon emissions and a shift toward corporate social responsibility in general. However, the outcome of capital investments to reach these goals can result in reduced costs, eliminating vulnerability and resulting in greater self-sufficiency.
Even in homes, the trend is to capital investments to create self-sufficiency. For example, installing rooftop solar and buying cars charged by solar are all capital investment strategies that avoid buying energy from utilities and gasoline stations.
Energy use and water utilities
Nearly 20 percent of electricity and 30 percent of natural gas in California are related to the movement and treatment of water. In San Diego, where the vast majority of the water must be imported, water utilities are heavily innovating and investing in capital projects to become more water and energy self-sufficient.
San Diego water agencies address water self-sufficiency in a number of ways. The San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) completed a desalination plant in the city of Carlsbad that will provide 8 to 10 percent of the region's water. The SDCWA contracted directly with water agencies in the agriculturally-rich Imperial Valley to bypass water wholesaler Metropolitan Water District, which serves 26 retail agencies and must balance the needs of all of those agencies. In addition to water recycling, the city of San Diego has a plan to produce a third of the municipality's water by re-purifying wastewater to potable standards, an investment that makes the city more water self-sufficient.
Energy is a significant cost for water utilities, and capital investments in new or existing infrastructure reduce those costs and are part of the self-sufficiency trend.
SDCWA is floating 20 acres of solar cells on Olivenhain Reservoir to not only generate up to 8 megawatts of electricity, but also to test its value in reducing evaporation. Another innovation is a proposed pumped storage project for the San Vicente Reservoir in partnership with the city of San Diego that would use the storage of water as a battery. During the day, when there is excess renewable energy from solar and wind available at low cost, water would be pumped uphill from San Vicente to a smaller reservoir, effectively storing energy in the upper reservoir. In the evening, or whenever energy is in demand at a higher cost, the water would flow downhill through a hydropower plant and the energy would be recaptured and sold at a profit. SDCWA is also creating electricity through the use of turbines in water distribution pipelines.
The city of San Diego's Public Utilities Department also developed a number of projects to produce electricity. The department uses methane from its wastewater treatment and water recycling plants to power fuel cells, run generators and, when cleaned, to be piped into San Diego Gas and Electric's (SDG&E) natural gas pipelines. It uses the thermal energy from facility processes to heat digesters and air condition the plants. Solar arrays have been constructed on several of the department's facilities. The excess electricity generated not used internally is sold. These capital investments are part of the city of San Diego's goal to operate 100 percent on clean energy by 2035 and are making the utility more energy self-sufficient.
Business innovation in water and energy
Innovative technologies are emerging for businesses and agriculture, too. WaterFX has developed a solar desalination process that treats farm drainage water so it can be reused. A pipeline filled with mineral oil is heated using parabolic solar mirrors. The heated oil then energizes a solar still that desalinates the water by distilling it. The water becomes steam, leaving the minerals behind as it returns to its liquid state, ready for use as clean water. The firm says the technology can also be used to treat runoff, saline groundwater and industrial process water. One module can produce 65,000 gallons per day or 70 acre feet per year, creating self-sufficiency for farmers or other users with water quality issues.
One way for businesses to become water self-sufficient is to eliminate water from industrial processes. Nike, Adidas and Ikea are all using a process by DyeCoo Corp. that eliminates the need to use water to dye fabrics. Instead, carbon dioxide (CO2) is converted into a liquid under extreme pressure and heat and substituted for water. Branded as the ColorDry process, it reduces dying time by 40 percent and energy use by 60 percent. Of course, water use is reduced 100 percent.
Water/energy innovation on the home front
The desire for residential self-sufficiency is apparent on homes, too. What if you could take a shower continuously with the same water? That's what astronauts do on the International Space Station, the inspiration behind Orbital Systems' shower. The shower contains a basin in the floor with a filtration system the company claims will create drinking-quality water. It saves 90 percent of the water and 80 percent of the energy needed for a warm shower.
Heating water is estimated to account for between 20 percent and 25 percent of the total energy consumption in a typical home, so innovation in this area can be meaningful. Nexus Water developed a gray water capture system that recycles 67 percent of indoor water and reduces 70 percent of the energy used for water heating while reducing sewage flow. Renewability is a firm attempting to address this problem by creating the Power Pipe. An incoming copper water pipe wraps around an outgoing drain pipe. The warmth of the water in the drain pipe heats the water in copper pipe wrapped around it. The process adds as much as 25 degrees to the temperature of the water entering the water heater, reducing heat cost by up to 40 percent.
The old saw that says "everything old is new again" applies to an innovation the U.S. EPA resurfaced (or perhaps never lost sight of): using solar panels to heat water. Solar can significantly reduce the cost of heating water for both gas and electric water heaters with a relatively small rooftop footprint. When solar first surfaced in the public's mind, it was to heat water for swimming pools and water heaters, not to create electricity. Photovoltaic make room on the roof. The old is new again!
The number of innovations and policies to create self-sufficiency are likely to multiply as the U.S. and other countries work to create a secure, self-sufficient and even sustainable world, whether at home, in the workplace, or at regional, state and national levels.

If you happen to print a lot, then you will know that buying ink cartridges are an expensive chore. As a matter of fact, after you have purchased a couple of cartridges, you have actually paid more on the cartridges than on the printer that you bought. A prudent choice would be the HP Instant Ink program. The subscription ensures that you do not have to pay huge amounts for the ink that you use but for the number of copies that you print. You have to subscribe to a plan and in order to sign up for the program, you must have eligible HP Instant Ink printers.
Expensive ink is one of the most common complaints related to printers. That is why HP has introduced a range of printers that come with really unheard-of low running costs. It employs an ink refill strategy through a subscription plan called the HP Instant Ink that offers considerable savings even on color printouts.
The sturdy Envy 4520 is one of the most affordable printers. It has been on the market for many years now. A favorite with most users, the printer is multi-functional and has built-in wireless capabilities. It can print, copy, fax and scan and comes along with Instant Ink cartridges. They are the 63 Black Instant Ink Ready Cartridge that can print about 190 pages and the Tri-color (63) that can easily print about 100 pages.
The Officejet 4650 is designed to provide users with next-level productivity. Print easily from your smartphone or tablet. Sail through your tasks smoothly with the automatic document feeder and wireless abilities. Print, copy, scan, fax and save up to 50% of ink with the HP Instant Ink program that is attached to the printer. The device provides you with the most affordable at-home printing.
The 8710 OfficeJet Pro provides the fastest two-sided printing. Not only does the printer come along with high-yield cartridges, it is also Instant Ink ready. Which means the printer can deliver 50% lower cost per page even in color when compared to other laser printers. Get this full-featured printer for your office needs. The printer uses unique cartridges that have an HP original chip. It is also enabled with dynamic security.
Introduced sometime in 2013, Instant Ink has grown to about 2 million program subscribers as of today and is still counting. You can choose between different plans and get an integrated setup process once you sign up for the program. Available for both home and office models, Instant Ink-eligible printers encompass a wide range of printer types. You pay a monthly charge for a certain number of pages that you print. You will still be paying the same price as per your base plan even if you print more pages than what you opted for. There is a nominal additional charge applied, for over-printing. Whether you print documents in black and white, in color or print a photo, the charges remain the same. The user stands to gain in every way when compared to the traditional model of printing, with the Instant Ink Program.
HP is a technology-aware company that uses innovation to its optimum. Wireless is the new dictum and if everything else can be wireless, so can printers. With this in mind, HP built wireless printers for convenient printing. Print from anywhere, anytime using the HP ePrint app. Use this mobile application that lets you give print commands to a wireless-enabled printer on the same network. It is a cloud-based service that is easy to install and use.

Stettler's Midget baseball team has added yet another win to their tabulations, making it 3-0 since the beginning of the season.
Midgets hosted and defeated Rimbey 17-12 on Wednesday, May 27 in a game, which was interrupted a few times due to lightning and possibility of rain.
"We played six complete innings of play when the game was called on account of darkness," said coach Jeff Lee.
"A short break for the lightning to pass over in the third inning lengthened the evening," he added.
Lee described the game as "a great pitching night for Stettler pitchers – Jordan Lee, Ben Bauman and Tye Mulgrove."
"Two highlights for the night was the two run out of the park home run hit by Ben Bauman in the first inning of play and the 11 pitch sequence that Tye Mulgrove pitched in the 5th inning to strike out three in a row to retire the side," Lee added.
The next day, Midgets traveled to Edberg and took their first defeat of the season with a score of 8-6.
Midgets host Sylvan Lake at 6:30 p.m. today, Wednesday at the Sportspark.
In Peewee action, Stettler Storm comfortably won over Innisfail at home with a 17-7 scoreboard, but suffered a 22-8 loss to Blackfalds in their away game.

Q: What is making all divs with class .box stacking? I'm making quick site to consume API with different news as an excercise.

I tried to get this posted yesterday, but Tom's boss was coming to visit so I was a bit busy getting ready.
Tom has an incredible metabolism. He is one of those guys who needs to eat 3000 calories a day just to maintain his body weight. If I don't keep the house stocked with snacks and ready to go lunches he will grab fast food on his way to and from work. Which costs us soooooo much money over time!
Since Tom works outside and is constantly on the go it's important to be able to eat without a fork. Chicken drumsticks are one of our favorite lunches and ideal for his lunches. Wrapped in foil and pre-sauced, they are great hot or cold, the foil helps keep your hands clean, I can bake and freeze them in daily portions and use a variety of sauces for variety. Plus they are super easy to make.
1. Toss defrosted drumsticks into a large bowl. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Toss then poor enough sauce over the drumsticks to coat, about 1-2 cups, depending on how many drumsticks your cooking. Toss again and let marinate in the fridge for at least 30 min, but longer is fine.
2. When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Arrange drumsticks on a large baking sheet and bake in the center of the oven, for 45 minutes.
3. Remove the sheet from the oven and glaze each drumstick with the reserved marinade using a glazing brush. Return sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
4. When done, remove baking sheet from oven and allow drumsticks to cool. Package individually or a few at a time with foil and freeze in a large freezer bag.

US tightens cybersecurity requirements for defense and intelligence agencies
White House releases National Security Memorandum which follows July's Executive Order
US President Joe Biden during a news conference on January 19th, 2022. Photo: REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque
US President Joe Biden signed a National Security Memorandum (NSM) on Wednesday, introducing a new set of requirements meant to improve the cybersecurity of the US's most sensitive networks.
Titled "Memorandum on Improving the Cybersecurity of National Security, Department of Defense, and Intelligence Community Systems", this NSM comes on the heels of the Executive Order on Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity, signed by the president in May 2021.
"Cybersecurity is a national security and economic security imperative for the Biden Administration, and we are prioritizing and elevating cybersecurity like never before," the White House said in a fact sheet released on Wednesday.
The NSM establishes a timeline as well as guidance on how various cybersecurity measures mentioned on the Executive Order will be implemented, including multifactor authentication, encryption, cloud technologies, Zero Trust architecture, and endpoint detection services.
In addition, agencies are now required to identify their national security systems and report cyber incidents to the National Security Agency (NSA) – which is now authorized to create binding operational directives requiring agencies to take actions to counter cybersecurity threats or vulnerabilities.
Since assuming office, President Biden's MO has been to rally as many national allies as possible in order to create a joint, powerful coalition against cyber threats, whether backed by nation states or financially or otherwise motivated.
In June 2021, the G7 leaders pledged to fight ransomware and bolster collective cyber defenses. In October, some 30 countries gathered for a remote conference to stop ransomware.
In July, Biden issued an NSM establishing voluntary cybersecurity goals regarding critical infrastructure protection, such as implementing specific mitigation measures and developing cybersecurity contingency and recovery plans.

'A Faithful Man' Is an Exuberant and Unconventional Love Story Starring Louis Garrel, Laetitia Casta, Lily-Rose Depp
By Bethany Wilson
It's not often that you stumble upon a film that possesses great pacing, dedicated performances and two whirlwind romances, but that is found within Louis Garrel's sophomore feature, A Faithful Man. Sitting in both the writer's and director's chair (with help from co-writer Jean-Claude Carrière), Garrel proves for a second time that he can do more than just act.
Garrel jumps into the character of an anxious French journalist, Abel (exceeding every expectation of tall, dark and handsome), who finds himself in a situation where he's torn between two beautiful women — his real-life partner Laetitia Casta, who plays Marianne, and newcomer Lily-Rose Depp as Ève, who comes to stir things up. The film starts off with Abel getting the news that his girlfriend Marianne, who he lives with, announces that she is pregnant — but the baby belongs to Abel's best friend, Paul, whom she plans to marry in ten days. Abel is confused and accepts the terrible and sudden news without putting up a fight, yet it's incredibly clear that he still loves her.
We cut to eight years into the future, and Paul has suddenly died of a heart attack in his sleep. Before Paul's casket is even lowered into its grave plot, the titular "faithful man" moves back in with Marianne and her son Joseph (incredibly talented child actor Joseph Engel), but not much time can pass until Ève (Paul's little sister) professes her childhood crush and longtime undying love for Abel. She is so infatuated with him that she even exclaims, "I hate to say it, but sometimes I wish Marianne would die." He is now forced to choose between his old flame from university and the obsessive younger woman who offers him a new perspective on life. Each performance in this film truly comes from a place of passion and each actor has their time to shine, but it's Depp's portrayal of the lustful go-getter Ève that stole the entire show.
Lily-Rose Depp is phenomenal; her on screen presence is so captivating and it's so exciting to see that her career is finally starting to take off. Although she had a limited amount of screen time, she still manages to put the audience in a trance every time she pops up with her hopefulness, infectious optimism and bubbly personality. Ève is a character that we watch grow up into a vibrant young woman who is discovering herself, her sexuality, and the power she has over men for the first time.
Garrel's caricature of his real Parisian hometown seems like it could take place sometime in the '80s, with cinematographer Irina Lubtchansky capturing the dainty Parisian streets as if they were only meant to be walked through by young couples in love. The directorial style on display in A Faithful Man proves that Garrel has a knack for cinema — a trait he likely inherited from his father, Philippe Garrel (Lover for a Day, In the Shadow of Women), the award-winning director associated with the French New Wave movement.
There are many original ideas within A Faithful Man and quite a few things that you wouldn't typically see in your average rom-com — such as Marianne almost forcing Abel to sleep with Ève to see if he and his old partner are truly meant to be together again.
A Faithful Man proves that everything is better when it's done by the French; it manages to pull off an old-school vibe akin to the French New Wave, all while keeping a fresh perspective on modern romance.

Q: Python parsing string value in csv with Panda I am new to Python and I am trying to read a csv file using pandas but I have a bit of a problem within my csv file.
I have strings which contains commas at the end and this creates an undesired column at towards the end as shown:

This is the raw csv:

For example, on line 14, the green string value ends with a comma and creates a new column which then gives me parsing errors when using this:
import pandas as pd

pd.read_csv("data.csv")

ParserError: Error tokenizing data. C error: Expected 6 fields in line 8, saw 7

Is there a way I can clean up this and merge the last two columns?

A: You can use np.where to replace APP with the last column where APP is missing, then drop the last column.
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.read_csv("data.csv")
df['APP'] = np.where(df.app.isna(), df[-1], df.APP)
df = df.iloc[:,:-1]

Public Health Agency of Canada involved in 'error' on trucker vaccine rules: CP sources
Turmoil and confusion over whether truckers would remain exempt from the vaccine mandate last week stemmed from bureaucrats misinterpreting policy in more than one federal agency — including the one that co-ordinates Canada's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The trucking industry was caught by surprise on Jan. 12 when the Canada Border Services Agency sent a statement to media saying that unvaccinated and partially vaccinated truck drivers crossing into Canada from the United States would rema

She said she understood the widespread concern — the Omicron variant of COVID-19 is still infecting hundreds of people in the province each da
COVID-19: Elliott outlines Ontario's phased reopening plan, to see most measures lifted by mid-March
Ontario Deputy Premier and Health Minister Christine Elliott provided more details on Thursday about the province's plan of lifting of COVID-19 restrictions. Ontario will begin its phased re-opening on Jan. 31 with gyms and restaurants at 50 per cent capacity, and move to the second phase on Feb. 21 which will remove capacity limits in indoor public settings where proof of vaccination is required. Then on March 14, the province plans to lift capacity limits in all indoor public settings. However, proof of vaccination will remain in place.
OTTAWA — Canada's chief public health officer says there are positive signs the Omicron wave is peaking in this country, but no one should start choreographing a COVID-19 victory dance. "There is no doubt that nobody wants to have all these restrictive measures anymore, and Omicron may or may not have put us one step toward that new reality," Dr. Theresa Tam said Friday during a COVID-19 briefing in Ottawa. "So I think … we need to plan for the different scenarios and just be ready for a time of
