2. How do you solve a problem? What do you look for?
3. What are key challenges that the mining industry has with its supply chain?
4. How has the increasing pace of change and technology impacted or disrupted your clients?

Built on the Ethereum blockchain with smart contract technology, the Move app is simple, powerful and engineered to scale. Trial runs have forecasted a 20% savings compared to legacy logistics technology.

The distributed ledgers, immutable records, and decentralised access offered by blockchain renders the technology an ideal catalyst for evolution of global supply chain models. MOVA leverages the Ethereum blockchain to link producers and shipping providers with automated Smart Contracts, track goods real-time with MOVA GPS, and exact instant payments with built in incentivisation mechanisms.

Our vision is to make every truck on the road more efficient, increasing competition and decreasing carbon footprint. A half-filled truck is not good for the customer, the vendor, or the environment. The Movement Ecosystem will provide the global platform to fill that truck by linking producers, movers, retailers and consumers to access and auction cost effective logistics capacity and real world performance data to drive businesses forward.

Our growth strategy is simple. The MOVA Platform is free to access, and generates real world savings for our customers. MOVA charges a fee for each transaction that is a fraction of the measurable cash benefit our customers receive.

It is important for large companies to constantly be looking for ways to improve their operations. When you can improve your operations, it is possible to streamline your business and maximise your profits. One of the best ways that a large business can achieve this is to improve the management of their utilities.

What utilities a business uses will depend on their operation and the industry that they are in, but in most cases they will include electricity, gas, water, telecommunications, sewage and internet service. As you can see, these are key services to any daily operation but they can also be a huge expense. So, how can a large company better manage their utilities to improve their operation?

Switch Providers

One of the best ways to reduce your utility bill is to shop around to find more affordable providers. This can be a time consuming and stressful process, but it will prove to be worth it in the long run as you could make some huge savings in certain areas.

Invest in Onsite Renewables

There is a lot of pressure on businesses to invest in green technologies and renewable energy and particularly in the last few years in a bid to improve air quality. Not only is this is a good idea for brand reputation, but it is also a great way to improve the management of your utilities. In particular, solar PV and storage will prove to be cost-effective and will improve resilience to power outages.

Utility Broker

One excellent solution is to seek the services of a utility broker like Utilitywise. These companies help companies of all sizes and in all industries to reduce energy costs and consumption by finding the right utility solutions and contracts for your particular company. They will take the time to shop around and find the best deals as well as manage the entire switch – this allows you to spend time on growing the business without the stress of managing bills.

Smart Controls

Another way to better manage utilities is to take advantage of smart controls. There have been many great advances in technology that allow people and businesses to better control when they use utilities such as power and heat, enabling companies to drastically reduce their energy bills whilst using energy more efficiently.

These are the main ways that a business can better manage their utilities which, in turn, will help them to maximise profits whilst making them more environmentally friendly. 

Although three years ago, Aston Martin scored nearly £200,000,00 in additional funding from its dominant company and investors for it to build the DBX concept. Until recently, the date of release for the UK automaker’s very first crossover was unclear, and nobody quite knew when it’d hit the assembly line, but research has taken place and details have been gathered, which includes the production date of 2019! 

What is the DBX? 

Despite sticking with its reputation for building superfast sports cars that not only are keen on the eye but are beyond extraordinary compared to the average thoroughbred you see on the roads nowadays, Aston Martin has well and truly stunned us all with rumour of the new DBX concept; a completely different take on the crossover section of the motor market altogether. This time around, Aston Martin plans to combine exceptional speed with the utmost beautiful appearance of a sleek rally-bred racing machine – um? That’s right. The new Aston Martin DBX is a crossover, not only the first to enter the family, but one of many models indeed. 

How is it Different? 

When asking how the new DBX is different to any other Aston Martin sibling, all you need to do is think logically, really. Being one of the first and one of many crossovers in the family, the DBX is like no other thoroughbred you have seen before. This version features new aluminium architecture with elements pulled from the DB11 platform and like the DB11, the brand-new DBX will be powered by an option of twin-turbocharged engines. So, the sports theme is very much still standing firm, however, the DBX is more for those who prefer a relaxed experience on the road rather than one full of adrenaline.   

When Can I Buy One? 

Though Aston Martin has high hopes for its new DBX crossover to land in the showrooms at some point during 2019 (fingers crossed!), the company runs the risk of leading people to become disappointed if there are parts that aren’t entirely perfect. Having waited a few years since the last time we saw anything like the DBX from Aston Martin, anything less than perfect won’t be tolerated. So, to make sure everything goes as planned, the company wants to allow a little extra time, meaning that the motor may not hit the market until early 2020 instead. 

How Much Are They? 

As you would expect, Aston Martin’s new DBX is pretty flawless and comes with a huge cost; an estimation of the price right now is anywhere around £200,000 brand-new. With all the work, effort, blood, sweat and tears that has gone into the production of making sure the new concept crossover is faultless, there’s no doubt the automaker won’t be open to accepting anything less for an example of the DBX. So, get saving while there’s still time! 

Melanie Kahn, Founder of Poppilu, an all-natural, deliciously tart and tangy line of low sugar antioxidant lemonades joins Enterprise Radio.

There used to be a time where your only options for a car were fast or slow. You either bought the mad turbo version that’s not-so-secretly trying to kill you or the uninspiring family friendly model. Now however, there are models for virtually every power band, with the Giulia you’re faced with three, the base model, the Veloce or the very mad Quadrifoglio. 

The Veloce offers a great blend of both power and refinement, while the Quadrifoglio has to be driven at 100% everywhere, the Veloce is happy to slump into a motorway cruise too. Put your foot down however and you can tell it’s related to the four-leaf variant! The styling is slightly more sedated than the full fat model but it’s undeniable that this is one of the best looking compact saloons on the market. 

The handsome Italian is powered by a humble 2.0 turbo, good for 276bhp. When you compare it to its competition, see Audi S5 and BMW 440i, it’s down on power and engine noise however it also undercuts them on price by a decent amount. It comes generously optioned too, uprated brakes are standard, the best shades of paint are free and the option packs are very reasonable too. The Performance Pack is a must have, deliciously tactile column-mounted shift paddles give a manual option for the 8-speed auto, a limited-slip differential and adaptive dampers are thrown in for just shy of two grand. 

There are some issues with mid-sized Alfa however, the rear seats are cramped, even when compared to similar cars. The materials used are very hit and miss too, fine leathers encapsulate your body, yet a glance to the side sees sketchy plastics. In the busy hot-but-not-too-hot European market, the buyer is spoilt for choice. Fine examples from across Europe and Japan make it vital to appeal to potential customers. Thankfully, the Alfa pulls it off, an unrivalled driving experience and a friendly price should keep the compact saloon ticking over nicely.

Entrepreneurs come in many different forms across all the various business sectors. From an online vintage clothes store to a new IT start-up, anyone with the right spirit and personality can become an entrepreneur. With around 27 million entrepreneurs in the USA, this way of working certainly seems popular for the satisfaction and freedom it brings. 

One career that would certainly fall under the category of being classed as entrepreneurial is working as a trader on the world’s stock exchanges. This fabulous career sees you investing capital to buy shares in listed companies that you judge will go up in price over time. This hits all the buttons in terms of the entrepreneurial goals of working in a sector that you love and earn your own money from, rather than working for someone else. 

What makes traders such great entrepreneurs? 

One of the great things all captains of industry could learn from traders is the mindset the best ones have. By learning how traders think and tapping into this for your business, you could see your own entrepreneurial ventures flourish as a result.

But how can you do this and what mindset do traders have to learn from? 

Desire to innovate

All the best traders will constantly be looking at ways to innovate and stay ahead of other traders. By doing that they keep their competitive edge and always make their move at the optimum time. That could be in the form of honing the way they choose investments, searching for any emerging markets in which to buy shares, or finding innovative new ways to manage their portfolio. 

Flexible approach to rules 

It is important to be clear here – this is not in terms of doing anything illegal or dishonest. It is more an approach of challenging traditions or commonly held conventions on what you should do or how things should work. If you work in an industry where something has always been done in a certain way, don’t just blindly accept it if it is not a legal or regulatory issue. Be prepared to ruffle a few feathers and do things your way if you can see a possible advantage. 

Tolerance to risk 

All the successful traders will have a mental approach that allows them to be tolerant to risk. After all, when they are putting their own money into every investment, it comes with the territory. The key is to do your research first so any decision you make is calculated and brings enough reward to make the risk worthwhile. You can learn the same skills and apply them to any expansion plans you have as an entrepreneur. 

Attention to detail 

Successful traders are all keen on paying close attention to detail when looking at shares to invest in and making decisions on their open trades. You should adopt this when running your own business in your chosen field. This kind of approach will avoid you making any hasty decisions or missing key data that could cost you lots of money.

A key part of this is finding the correct resources to help you do this within your sector. For traders, they will use current news feeds and analysis on the financial markets. Some services are almost like a wiki for online trading and help traders stay right on the cutting-edge of all the small details they need to know to prosper. 

Learn from the mistakes 

To succeed as an entrepreneur this is a key lesson to learn. All traders will lose sometimes, but it is vital to look at why and how to avoid making the same mistake again. 

Self-confidence 

A key trait for all entrepreneurs is having the self-confidence to back you own gut instinct and ideas. It is of course vital to seek advice, but when it comes to it you need the strength of character to make your own decisions. All traders have to do this and will reach their own decision on stock investments after considering all the news and analysis about them. 

Tap into the trader mindset 

While you may not be involved in trading the financial markets yourself, you could still learn a lot from these entrepreneurial types. The mental aspects that they bring to the table are transferable across a number of industries and are handy for all entrepreneurs to pick up. Many of them are great at helping you become a better entrepreneur to drive your business to even greater success. 

If you are keen on starting a small business in a small town, you could be making the best decision. In fact, an overwhelming number of start-ups are beginning to relocate their businesses back to these smaller towns for numerous reasons. And it will surprise you to know that many are comfortable taking such steps. According to a paper writing service expert, starting up a small business in a small town could make an entrepreneur gain more experience before fishing in bigger waters. So, in this post, we will examine some of the reasons you should take advantage of such an opportunity.

1.    Ideal for small budget

Starting up a business in the city is discouraging, not because of the high competition but running cost. Growing a business could involve a lot of money. But there is a possibility that your budget when operating in a large city could be higher because things are usually more expensive in those areas.

In big cities, the high cost of hiring a shop or workspace is not the only discouraging thing about starting up a business in such areas. City and state taxes, plus the high cost of goods and services all makes starting up a business in cities unattractive.

If your budget is tight, it would be easier to start a profitable business, take higher risks and get the business off the ground when operating in a smaller town. It all boils down to the cost of living which is low in these areas, plus the fact that smaller markets are more accessible regarding finance. And you can also get support or different incentives from the local government to boost your business, as they look forward to improving the town.

2.    Little or no competition

Besides the possibility that your business could be the only existing business in a smaller town for many years, you will also gain more experience while experimenting with different business models. Every business person draws inspiration and knowledge from their past business experiences no matter how small. Also, the low competition or saturation in the small town will enable you to make a name for yourself faster without much stress. 

Being the only business that provides a specific service in a small town, you can quickly make a name for yourself and establish your business brand. You might also find a way to make your business more unique that new firms would find extremely hard to match when they start springing up.

3.    Work-life balance

Small towns are not too congested. You also get to breathe quality air and enjoy the calmness. But in big cities, life can be unbearable for a working class person, and worst for an entrepreneur. The congestion alone is something of great concern, and then, there is the issue of traffic jam, which could make running your business more demanding.

The slow pace of rural communities will enable you to enjoy a healthy balance of work and life. One needs to be in good health to be able to nurture a business. That is why many companies relocate their firms to the rural communities because they consider these locations as a better environment to live and work. It is also easier to have access to suppliers, and marketplace in small towns.

4.    An inspiring workforce

You may be thinking that people in smaller towns are less qualified than those in large cities, but your mindset will change when you have the opportunity to work with individuals in these areas. Besides having the required qualification, individuals in smaller towns are always ready to work. They understand they might be looked down upon, which motivates them to give their all to impress their employers. 

Incredible Business Ideas for small towns

Many individuals have the urge to start-up businesses but lack the idea. So if you are in this category, you can take advantage of these business ideas.

1.    Bakery

Operating a bakery can be very demanding, but rewarding if you commit to it. You could be the go-to bakery that meets the needs of every single individual in that town who needs baked products. 

2.    Pet shop (grooming and boarding)

Small towns are ideal for this kind of business. The thing is people can quickly lose interest knowing that they have to drive for hours to get to a pet shop, which usually happens in large cities. In your pet shop, you can decide to start selling toys, food and other things for pets.

3.    Clothing boutique

Fillings are the best method of cavity repair, and when they’re properly placed, they can easily last a decade or longer. But they are not completely permanent. Chances are that, at some point, you’ll need to have one or more of your fillings replaced with a new filling. 

This is completely normal – and it’s nothing to be concerned about. In this article, we’ll look at the basics about what you need to know about having your old fillings replaced. Let’s get started! 

Why Would A Filling Need To Be Replaced?

There are several reasons that one of your fillings may need to be replaced, as follows:

• Cosmetic issues – If you’ve got a mercury-amalgam filling or another filling made out of metal, and you’re looking to get a “smile makeover”, it can be replaced with a tooth-colored filling, which will help restore and brighten your smile. This is completely optional. 

• Signs of decay – If your filled tooth begins to show further signs of decay, a dental filling retreatment will be needed to remove the filling and affected tooth enamel. The filling will be replaced with a new, larger filling, or a dental crown may even be used, in some cases.

• Chipping or cracking – If your filling cracks or becomes chipped, it may need to be replaced. This is because the filling is at a higher risk of becoming dislodged or falling out completely, which can be a choking hazard, and pose a threat to your tooth.

• “Leakage” problems – If the filling “pulls away” from your tooth and leaves a gap between the tooth and filling, bacterial growth and tooth decay will be encouraged. Your filling must be replaced if this happens.

• Filling falls out or is pulled out – This can happen due to an impact injury from a sport or a car accident, or even if you chew on an extremely sticky food like taffy, and the filling is pulled out. The underlying tooth structure is very vulnerable, so the filling will need to be replaced ASAP.

How Do I Know When A Filling Should Be Replaced? 

There are a few ways you can recognize if a filling needs to be replaced.

• Check for obvious damage or wear – In some cases, you may be able to see obvious signs of a filling that needs to be replaced, such as cracks or damage to the structure, or even small holes or discolored spots around the filling which could indicate tooth decay due to filling “leakage”.

• Watch out for tooth sensitivity – If a tooth with a cavity is sensitive to pressure, heat and cold, and other such things, this could be a sign that your filling will need to be replaced.

• Be on the lookout for tooth pain – Tooth pain is always an indicator that something is wrong, especially if it happens when you’re not eating or drinking. Throbbing or “sharp” pain could indicate an issue with a filled tooth.

• See your dentist regularly – You’re not a professional, but your dentist is! At each of your six-month check-ups, your dentist will be taking a look at the health of your entire mouth – including the integrity of your fillings.They will be able to tell you if your fillings must be replaced, and help you understand what you can expect from the process of a filling replacement. This is the best way to avoid tooth decay and further damage caused by a faulty filling – so see your dentist regularly for a teeth cleaning and dental exam. 

Get Your Fillings Replaced – Protect Your Oral Health 

Replacing a filling is a good idea for your continued oral health. If one of your fillings is damaged or faulty, it can cause further damage to your mouth. So contact a cavity repair San Diego dentist today to make sure your fillings are in good shape – and get any faulty or failing fillings replaced ASAP!

As we advance in the automotive world, we are starting to discover the car makers that can bring unique design to the table for an affordable price; BMW is renowned for luxury, while keeping up with the high-demand for decent on-road performance. This time around, the company is showing off its new-found efforts to provide motorists of a low-budget with a solid performance and stunning appearance.  

Overview 

Like with many BMW models on the market, the M5 is just as comfortable on the inside as it looks from the outside, just with much more to show off this time. Most examples are electric/chrome blue with white feature seats that make it stand out from its siblings and rivals alike, so much so that you almost can’t tell that you are sat inside a BMW model – but fortunately for BM lovers, you sure are! 

What’s Going on Inside?  

On the inside then, there’s plenty of room for at least four other occupants and the daring driver themselves, along with a plentiful amount of storage space out back in the boot. Not only that, but the seating arrangement is cosy and in just the right position for the driver to fully enjoy the thrill of the driving experience while the rear- and front-seat occupants can remain comfortable throughout the entire journey. 

Performance 

This time around, the M5 has encompassed race-derived and inspired six and 10-cylinder engines, sequential transmissions and lots of talking points too for that matter. But we’re set to talk about its general performance on the road, not the parts and what have you; through the gears between 40mph and 80mph, BMW’s M5 is nearly as fast as the Porsche 911 Turbo S. 

Verdict

Overall, it’s fair to say that the M5’s general outright damping authority and control are unequalled amongst its rivals in the same league, so it’d be wrong to deny it the ringing achievement of a five-star rating for sure – it’d only be thanks to a handful of shortcomings, though; slightly lighter steering weight, inconsistent brake pedal feels and that synthesised engine noise too. 

How Much? 

Since the BMW M5 is relatively new to the market as it is, it’s suggested that those shopping around on the used car market to wait until there’s a few examples up for grabs. While those who have £89,705 spare or lying around somewhere, you should have no problem being one of the first to take the automaker up on the bargain that is the new M5; with all it has to offer, you’d be foolish not to buy one.

Domestic violence is a severe offense; and, being charged with it comes with a myriad of consequences both for the victim who makes the accusation and family members who are involved in the case. Having a domestic violence charge on your record can change your future in irreparable ways. 

Disallowing visitation to your children, tainting your professional standing in the community, and sometimes even being sentenced to prison are all things that can happen if you don’t defend yourself adequately. 

Is it hard to have domestic charges dismissed?

When someone makes an allegation against his or her partner for domestic violence, it isn’t the alleged victim who presses charges; it is the prosecutor who takes over the case. Therefore, even if the victim recants their story and insists that the domestic violence incident never happened, they, themselves, are not able to have the charges against their partner stopped. 

Why are prosecutors are reluctant to drop charges?

The reason that prosecutors are reluctant to drop domestic violence charges is that when someone makes a domestic violence claim, it is typically done so in an emotionally charged state when the pain is fresh.

Once the incident is over, it is not uncommon for the victim to feel remorseful or even guilty. These feelings often bubble up because they reported the incident to the police when they were angry; but, after calming down, want life to go back to how it was before.

If the prosecutor dismisses charges without investigating to find the validity of them, then he is putting the victim in danger if the allegations are true. 

If domestic violence happens once, it is very likely to happen again. And, in most cases, the ferocity of the violence continues to escalate with each incident. So, if the prosecutor isn’t sure that the event didn’t happen, it is their duty as an officer of the court to ensure the safety of the victim who initially reported what happened. 

If you are accused of domestic violence, there are things that you should do to get the charges lessened, or, in some cases, dismissed altogether.

The determining factor that is usually the clincher, regarding whether a prosecutor moves forward with a case, is the amount of evidence that they have that an incident happened. If the accused has no history of violence and there is no evidence that the victim was hurt in any way, then it is much easier for the accuser to get the charges dropped. 

Request the police report.

The final ruling isn’t just about what the victim said to the police officers at the site; it also depends on the police officers’ state of mind at the time of their involvement. If they made any guesses or opinions in the police report that were untrue, then it is possible to claim that they influenced the alleged victim and convinced them to make allegations of domestic violence.

Hire an attorney.

To make sure that you have the representation that you will need to win your case, it is imperative that you hire a domestic assault lawyer in Toronto. A professional will be able to take all the information related to the charges and find inconsistencies and facts to poke holes in the narrative that has been presented to the prosecution.

Question the reliability of the accuser.

If the person who is accusing you of domestic violence has a less than credible history, then it might be possible to question how truthful they are about the events related to the domestic violence incident. 

If they have a history of making allegations that are proven false or even a history of mental instability, then it might be possible to question how accurate their recount of the events was.

If you are being accused of domestic violence, it is vital that you get someone to defend you. Although it is possible for you to handle the charges on your own, it is not recommended. 

Being convicted of domestic violence will forever alter not just your standing in the community, but it can limit where you live, the job you have, and whether you get to see your children or not. Don’t just let things play out in court, make sure that things go your way by hiring a lawyer who knows how to get domestic charges dropped.
