1. Competition in Public Transport Essays on competitive tendering and open-access competition in SwedenUniversity dissertation from Stockholm : KTH Royal Institute of Technology
Abstract : The results of this work show that the cost efficiency of tendered bus services is similar across all Swedish counties, except for the more high-density counties where efficiency is lower. Considerably lower efficiency is also found for contracts with services run in-house by the Public Transport Authority (PTA), compared to when the same service is run by a private actor. READ MORE

This is a recently renewed house with an exceptional architectonic quality that you can feel also in the beautiful courtyard which achieves a perfect integration of the chlorine pool.

Pfizer and Allergan's $160 billion merger is funded, in no small part, by the American taxpayer.
And the usual howls are arising — that the new Pfizer will no more be based in low-tax Ireland (the "administrative headquarters" will be in New York) than my imaginary childhood friend Laura will invent a Pfizer-branded cure for cancer, and that everything from the budget deficit to respect for the rule of law demand that Washington do something about tax-evading deals like this one.
After all, the estimated 17%-18% effective tax rate the merged company will pay in global taxes saves about $1 billion a year on just the Pfizer Inc. PFE, -0.54% side of the business. The U.S. Treasury is leading the government's effort to rein in inversions through tax rules, but their proposed rule won't cover this deal, and the effort doesn't attack the inversion deal makers where it will hurt them most.
What will stop the biggest inversion deals cold is a regulation steering Medicare and Medicaid's purchases of drugs and medical devices elsewhere. If you want to sell to government plans, your tax residence has to match where the operating headquarters is, among other tests. It's a small price to pay for that passage in Pfizer's annual 10-K report noting the U.S. is the only major world government that doesn't negotiate on prices for drugs it buys.
Read: Pfizer-Allergan tie-up news pushes M&A to record level for 2015
Let's face it: The tax-inversion problem is concentrated in the drug and medical-device industry, which is responsible for more faux Irishness than anything this side of St. Patrick's Day and Notre Dame football. Three of the six most valuable companies incorporated in Ireland now are device-maker Medtronic PLC MDT, +1.01%, Allergan PLC AGN, +0.04% and drugmaker Perrigo Co. PRGO, -1.10%. Along with Alkermes PLC ALKS, -1.79% and Jazz Pharmaceuticals PLC JAZZ, -1.35%, which are among the top 20 Irish companies — and, remarkably, are headquartered in the very same Dublin building — all are run from the U.S. This is easy to establish because most of their CEOs have listed home phone numbers here.
There's not a drug or device company on the planet that can make a go of things without selling into Medicare and Medicaid: Medicare alone buys more than $100 billion of the pharmaceuticals sold in the U.S. each year. While Pfizer doesn't disclose the percentage of sales it gets from the U.S. government, a look at its list of top drugs tells the story plainly enough: Enbrel (for arthritis), Celebrex (also for arthritis), Lipitor (cholesterol) and Viagra (erectile dysfunction) are in the top six, accounting for about $10 billion of 2014 revenue.
Telling Pfizer to pay taxes or else (for now) would not be any disaster for patients. There are plenty of competitors for Lipitor, which Costco Wholesale Corp. COST, -1.84% sells for as little as $17 a month. No one who watches football is unfamiliar with the bathtub full of Viagra competitors, and Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly & Co. LLY, -0.14% will sell Medicare enough Cialis to, well, write your own naughty jokes. As for Allergan, its top products are Botox, whose biggest uses are cosmetic, and Restasis, which treats dry eyes at a cost 25 times higher than over-the-counter remedies that critics say are just as effective.
To be sure, this form of highly lawyered tax evasion is mostly specific to one already subsidized industry. The public benefit in New Jersey-based Michael Pearson pretending to run Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. US:VRX from Quebec, to pay lower taxes on profits generated by Valeant's $8,900 remedy for toenail fungus, is fairly minimal. Ditto for letting Parsippany, N.J.-based Allergan, whose CEO is in the phone book in nearby Far Hills, pretend to be Irish so it can pay less tax on profits from Restasis and wrinkle-fighting.
This move would be a holding action for longer-term talks about whether companies are right about U.S. corporate tax rates being too high. Pfizer's 25% tax rate is actually higher than the 20% that Paris-based Sanofi paid last year, or the 12.6% Novartis paid.
It is also true that some bona-fide European drugmakers that pay lower taxes spend more on research than many (not all) American pharmaceutical companies. Pfizer CEO Ian Read's point for a long time now has said U.S. tax rates hamper our drugmakers' ability to compete, and he's got an argument.
But that negotiation would require some time, and an election, to conduct intelligently, and you don't have to be Donald Trump to know taxpayers' representatives can't bargain effectively if they let half of U.S. pharma and device companies turn faux-Irish now.
So the right thing for a lame-duck President Obama to do is issue rules preserving the status quo for his successor. If Restasis' owners pay more taxes for a year or two, there won't be a wet eye in the house.

Born in Anderson, SC, Modesty received her BA in Psychology from Winthrop University. She worked in mental health for 3 ½ years, before moving to Atlanta, GA to pursue working in Business Development for the travel industry. After 7 ½ years, another switch came that led her to operations management with Craneware.
Modesty is a lover of food and music, and enjoys playing the piano, spending time with friends and family and strolling the city.
1. Tell us about Craneware and what your workday typically consists of.
Craneware is the market leader in software and supporting services that help healthcare providers improve margins, so they can invest in quality patient outcomes. My role is to ensure the smooth operations at both our U.S. offices. As the primary point of contact, I'm also known as the "firefighter." A typical workday may consist of completing the following: orientation of new hires, scheduling/planning meetings on and off-site, budget planning, tradeshow prep, provide executive support to C-level managers, overseeing corporate travel program, expense reporting, T&E compliance, contract negotiating, promoting Craneware Cares initiatives as Social Chair, financial transactions, coordinating team building events, facility work orders and navigating information flow among departments.
2. What is the most challenging aspect of your role?
The thing that keeps me on my toes is the ability to access the multiple needs of everyone and produce their desired results. Being the main point of contact presents a lot of issues simultaneously. I have to be able to prioritize requests and still deliver to all in a timely fashion.
3. In your opinion, what's the key to a successful meeting or training session?
The key component to having a successful meeting or training session would definitely have to be organization. When one is truly organized they can better prepare for the expected and unexpected events that may occur.
4. How does Roam help your company achieve their off-site meeting goals?
Roam has become my go-to for all off-site meetings. From start to finish, checking for space availability to providing the final receipt, Roam leaves nothing undone. They take the hassle out of all the planning. I feel 100% confident that when I send a group to Roam for a meeting or training session, the Buckhead team will provide them with the best customer service possible. Their ability to setup all meeting spaces, provide food and beverage service and help with the unexpected print request is done with pure professionalism and a smile.
5. What is your favorite activity to do in Atlanta?
I am a true foodie at heart. My favorite thing to do in Atlanta whether it's a slow weekend or I'm hosting family and friends is to try out different cuisines and restaurants. Whether it's the well-known place in the area or the hole in the wall that hasn't been discovered, you name it, and I'll try it!

Addressing the funeral ceremony of Iranians martyred in Ahvaz terrorist attack on Monday, Rezaei expressed his deep condolences to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution and noble nation of Khuzestan province and added, "terrorists committed heinous crime concurrent with the anniversary of Sacred Defense (eight years of Iraqi imposed war against Iran (1980-1988) at a place where it was a stronghold of resistance of Iranian nation during these eight years."
Terrorist attack in Ahvaz had been completely orchestrated by agents of other countries, he said, adding, "it is clear that which countries have funded these terrorists and where they [terrorists] have been trained, Rezaei maintained.
Khuzestan province is an integral part of Iranian land and territory, he said, adding, "separating Khuzestan province from Iran is a dream devised by enemies of the Islamic Republic of Iran that will never come true."
Today, noble nation of Islamic Iran proved that people of Khuzestan province will always be harbinger and staunch supporter of the Islamic Revolution and the Establishment, so that malicious objectives of enemies of the country are doomed to failure."
Rezaei once again called on the officials at the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to adopt the harshest and toughest stance on agents behind the terrorist attack in this southern city. Since all these terrorists have been trained in Denmark, the Netherlands and UK, Foreign Ministry should arrest them through diplomatic channels."

The lead coach is fully qualified (first aid, DBS check, ABCC BMX Coach, British Cycling L2 Club Coach, British Cycling L2 BMX Coach and Sports Science BSc). He sometimes bangs on about being a two time British Champ and three time UK King of Dirt but it was years ago and he needs to let it go.
Bexhill BMX track sessions are based on the latest teaching methods from British Cycling blended with some proper BMX mischief. The aim of these sessions is to build core fundamental techniques and skills. This is the same approach used with British Cycling's top riders, whose coaches often strip back to basics. Establishing good habits and a strong foundation will enable riders to reach their potential and find their own style in their own time. The idea is not to produce identical robots but to encourage each rider to use this foundation to eventually express themselves in their own individual way. At the beginner/intermediate level we are more concerned with fundamental skills as opposed to how fast the riders can go. Most importantly, we'll have some fun doing it. Fun is job #1.
Guaranteed Radness!
What do I need?
You need a safe BMX bike with bar ends, no pegs, full length trousers and long sleeve top with a correctly fitted full-face helmet, gloves, knee pads and elbow pads minimum.
How do I get involved
Bexhill coaching sessions have waiting lists at the minute. To join please email your riders name, age and a basic description of their riding skills (this helps us to put them into the correct group).
We currently run three 1 hour sessions between 10:00 – 1:00 . Once involved in the in the session you'll join our private couching Facebook page were there will be further info.

Kyobo Life Insurance Chairman Shin Chang-jae expressed regret over the financial investors(FI)' announcement of an arbitration application to implement the put option and suggested that the negotiations continue.
Kyobo Life Insurance said on March 17 that Chairman Shin conveyed his position through his legal representative that he earnestly asks the FIs to engage in negotiations over withdrawal of investment once again.
Chairman Shin has been negotiating with FIs who exercised their put option to collect investment since October last year. Recently, he proposed three compromises: issuing ABS, sales to third parties, and preserving profits after IPO.
The FIs notified Chairman Shin that they would request arbitration to force him to implement the put option on March 18, judging that the negotiations suggested by Chairman Shin lack concrete measures to realize such matters as equity value and payment of money.
Shin said, "The agreement between shareholders is one-sided and complex. There are some unfair points such as conflicting and confusing elements. After careful consideration, the company offered new negotiations such as issuing ABS as a desperate measure for the success of the IPO."
In 2012, Chairman Shin attracted investment from FIs for the purpose of securing friendly shares. FI invested about 1.2 trillion won and signed an agreement between shareholders that they can exercise their put option if Kyobo does not implement IPO after three years. However, when IPO was not done until last year, they made a put option of about 2 trillion won.

Various forms of Vitamin B are used in skincare, to help tackle different skin concerns. The main forms of Vitamin B you'll see in skincare are Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide), Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) and Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid).
These ingredients all have their own individual benefits, and you'll often find them in a 'complex', so you can benefit from several different forms of Vitamin B.
These ingredients work to control oil production, offer a brightening effect, even out the skin tone, deeply hydrate the skin, and encourage the repair of skin damage – among many other benefits.
Our team put together some of their favourite Vitamin B products for you here:
"I'm a working mum of two children under 3, so sleep is a luxury, and my skin really shows the signs of lack of sleep.
Dehydration and fine lines have haunted me for a while, so a hydration boost every morning and night is a key part of my (quick) skincare routine.
This Aspect serum is lightweight, non greasy, and quickly soaks into my skin giving it a fabulous drink. A pea sized amount applied to the skin, morning and night, really makes a huge difference and provide a solid base for my SPF and foundation.
I'd recommend this product for absolutely everyone! Hydrated skin equals a fresher, more youthful, glowing complexion."
"I have now gone through 2 bottles of asap's super b complex, and my skin has never looked so radiant!
I've started to notice a big reduction in the redness on my cheeks, which makes me excited to keep using this product and see what happens – also the skin above my cheek bones near my eyes is super clear.
I would pretty much recommend this product for all skin types especially someone looking for age prevention and clearing up redness. It's also kept my skin feeling super hydrated and plump!"
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
"After searching for a serum with a high concentration of Niacinamide for months, I stumbled across this one by The Ordinary and absolutely fell in love.
It helps to reduce congestion I have, I don't find that my skin is getting as oily in certain areas, and I've noticed an improvement in my acne scars – they're fading a lot faster now that I'm using this serum.
I would recommend this serum for anyone experiencing congestion, breakout related redness and hyperpigmentation from breakouts looking to see an improvement with minimal irritation."

The Litecoin Foundation has reportedly aligned with Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) as it aims to promote the adoption of cryptocurrency. The UFC which is the leading mixed martial arts organization will be seen promoting cryptocurrency as per the new sponsorship deal.
According to the disclosed details of the partnership, Litecoin logo will be splashed on the octagonal fighting canvas at the upcoming event named as "UFC 232". The event would be a rematch between the legendary UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and light heavyweight Alexander Gustafsson. The fight, however, is scheduled to take place on 29th December 2018 in California, US.
It would be the first time in the history of the UFC when an event will be sponsored by crypto. According to a Litecoin Foundation statement issued on December 27, the event is a great opportunity to spread awareness pertaining to Litecoin. The UFC event is attended by millions of viewers.
The Litecoin Foundation further stated that the rapid advancement and adoption of cryptocurrency and blockchain clearly hints at the strong possibility of cryptocurrency moving towards the mainstream. The foundation is aimed at promoting the adoption of the cryptocurrency. The foundation also noted that it would look for future collaboration with UFC in the longer run.
The signing of the deal coincides with a similar sponsorship deal closed in 2017. The sponsorship deal required Canadian mixed martial artist Rory MacDonald to wear a branded outwear with the Dash cryptocurrency for a Bellator 192 fight. Back in January, former lightweight MMA champion Michael Chandler was also reported of having signed a deal with crypto trading platform CoinLion.

London is a city rich in culture, traditions, fashion, friendly people and great food. While all this may cost you a lot, especially the designer clothes in most stores, getting cheap escorts is easy. Escorts offer you a lot more services than just the amazing sex. Unlike most of the services you will get, London escorts are quite cheap. In the past getting an escort was hard work and you ended up spending a lot of money. Many just settled for one night stands and preferred going through life without indulging the exotic services offered by escorts because they are expensive. Escorts were left for people with the big jobs who had a lot of money to throw around. Today however, everything has changed.
Escorts in London offer great services and at cheap prices too. They give you the chance to be able to enjoy not only their services but also buy some clothes and some exotic dishes for yourself. If you find yourself alone and in the need of some good company, escorts will be at your call any time, day or night willing to offer you company. If you are new to London, they will help you find your way through the city, giving you direction to the best places to visit, the best hotels to stay at and the best food to eat. For the company, the good conversation and the great sex, you will no be charged expensively and the services offered will be worth your time and money.
The best way to find good, sexy and cheap escorts in London is to ensure that you hire one from an agency. Agencies have information about their escorts and in case you need their services again, the agency will hook you up easily and you can also call if you need to report misconduct. Escorts from agencies are also cheaper than independent escorts.

Citigroup Inc. has announced plans to source renewable power for 100% of its global energy needs by 2020.
The bank says it will consider on-site power generation, power purchase agreements for energy-intensive properties such as data centers and the appropriate use of renewable energy credits. It will also continue to focus on energy efficiency as a critical component of the strategy.
Citi owns or leases over 57 million square feet of real estate, consisting of over 7,900 properties in 94 countries. Its new global base, currently under construction in New York City, is being targeted for LEED Platinum, the highest level of certification under the U.S. Green Building Council, according to the bank.
"We are right alongside our clients in supporting the growth of renewable energy development and production," says Michael Corbat, CEO of Citi. "We're committed to using renewable power sources for our global operations while continuing to provide financing for our clients' renewable energy and energy efficiency projects around the world."
The bank says the new commitment will also draw on the experience of several groups within Citi. Earlier this year, Citi entered into a contract to provide Green-e certified renewable energy for 50% of the power needs at its Roanoke, Texas, data center. The deal is a collaboration between Citi Realty Services, an internal unit responsible for the company's facilities, and Citigroup Energy Inc., another Citi subsidiary.
"With a focus on innovation and efficiency, we continue to challenge ourselves to improve our facilities and operations around the world," adds Don Callahan, Citi's head of operations and technology. "We're exploring new approaches and partnerships to meet this ambitious renewable energy goal and are excited to do our part to support the transition to cleaner energy sources."
