See a lawyer and see what steps are needed to ensure you can legally prove you did everything necessary. Might be as simple as a formal letter from the lawyer informing the company that you completed all necessary steps. Then they know you

The plane was not bound for Germany, it took off intending to go to Scotland and indeed went straight there and landed. The pilot was given the previous days schedule by mistake. A simple mistake that no doubt caused consternation to the pa

Ah, apparently you have met my son and all his friends. Getting any of them to be passionate about anything but YouTube and PlayStations seems all but impossible.

'When she was 10, she wrote in a school year book that she wanted to become a billionaire. Plot-twist, she became one.' That is not a plot twist, that is the plot.

It is a nice resource, but the number of spelling and grammatical errors is ridiculous and becomes very distracting. Please use Microsoft Word or some other spell checker on each page.

Not exactly an unbiased report. The person responsible for hiring and running the team says she did a great job! Maybe if the gender mix had been reversed then it would have worked just as well because she is a great manager? If the take aw

I stopped reading after... “In roughly three decades, the global population will begin to decline,” they write. “Once that decline begins, it will never end." ..obviously this is hyperbole to sell a book which has to be dramatic to get

Tax minimization schemes go through trends and fads just like any other area of creativity. When the accountants and lawyers come up with a scheme for one celebrity footballer, it is likely to get used again for others. Once it becomes comm

You could try buying an existing very small SAAS which you know you can grow and build into something bigger. Then either keep it running or sell it on again at a higher value.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the pictures seem to show a plane and not a flying car. Given the wing span, there is no way that would work as a car. So it is a small plane. A specialized plane for autonomous transport of small packages or o

I wonder why the top players in tennis (Federer, Nadal, Williams) are lasting longer than is traditionally the case? - Better nutrition and recovery than previous generations? - Unusually dominant top players, resulting in easier matches an

The author starts with 'David Kadavy is bestselling author of The Heart to Start'. I find this odd, because he only managed to sell 11,000 copies. Don't get me wrong, 11k is nothing to be ashamed and 11k more than me, but sur

I don't think so. When people think about the USA they only think about the 1 or 2 most significant problems overall. With Europe you think about the 1 or 2 for each of the constituent countries and so it seems more problematic. To be

Great start, but how are you going to monetise it? Getting people to sign up for a free newsletter is one thing, getting them to pay for it is quite another. I think you would be better of keeping it free to the users and then once you reac

I would agree that a developing economy can copy the best practices and latest technology from the leading economies to, relatively, quickly catch up. You say that the USSR got close to the leading economies in the mid 60's. But that d
