How Much Compensation Can I Claim For An Injury Against The Military Or Armed Forces?
By Olivia Inglethorpe. Last updated 20th May 2021. Welcome to our military injury claims guide, where we'll explain everything you need to know about when and how you could make armed forces injury claims for your suffering.
A career in the military or armed forces can be both honourable and a great privilege. However, it is commonly regarded as a very dangerous career and you might find yourself sustaining an injury in the workplace. Following a workplace accident, even in such a career, you might be wondering whether you are entitled to compensation. It's an understandable line of thought and one which this guide will seek to clarify.
As with any other employer, the Ministry of Defence, the Royal Air Force, and the Royal Navy (as well as other branches of the the army or armed forces) have the same obligation to provide a safe environment for all employees. In this case, military personnel and other employees who have suffered an injury could be liable for compensation. In many cases, their rights are remarkably similar to those of civilians. Accident victims who belong to the military or the armed forces might be permitted to launch a case for damages.
Historically speaking, however, such cases have been more difficult than their civilian counterparts. Thankfully, new legislation means that victims of accidents who have suffered an injury are now able to make a claim against the armed forces. Laws such as these exist to protect you from harm and injury in the workplace. This military injury claims guide will help you understand your rights.

A Guide to Military or Armed Forces Accident Claims
Welcome to our military injury claims guide, where we'll explain everything you need to know about when and how you could make armed forces injury claims for your suffering.
An accident leading to an injury can be a confusing time. In this guide, you will find comprehensive information regarding how a military or armed forces accident is defined and the actions that should be taken should you sustain an injury. This guide will help you understand what to do if you have received an injury in the workplace and guide you in the right direction should you decide to claim. You will learn about the many types of injuries (physical anguish as well as mental anguish) that you may sustain while serving your country, either currently, or as a veteran.
The military injury claims guide will attempt to cover the following topics:
What is a military accident?
How to make a claim.
The different types of injuries you can make a claim against.
How much compensation you might be owed.
The laws which exist to protect you as an employee.
Advice for reaching out to a law firm should you decide to make a claim.
Once equipped with this information, you should be better placed to decide whether you wish to pursue a claim with a view towards winning compensation.
The Crown Proceeding (Armed Forces) Act 1987 allows for military personnel to claim compensation for an injury if it is determined that the Ministry of Defence failed in its duty to provide a healthy, safe work environment.
While some might consider front line action the only capacity in which one might face danger during a career in the armed forces, this is not true. There are many, many ways in which you might be injured and many such situations might appear to be entirely innocuous. As they pertain to this military injury claims guide, military or armed forces accidents can be defined as injuries sustained while undergoing training or while serving your country in many different capacities. Thanks to our experience, we have put together a list of the following scenarios in which people have sustained an injury:
Strenuous exercise or training .
Exercising in the United Kingdom and abroad.
Explosions, both intentional and accidental.
Falling from an elevated structure on assault course or in another location.
Vehicular accident.
Mountaineering accident.
Travelling around a military base by either a vehicle or on foot.
Faulty weaponry, faulty machinery, and faulty equipment.
Parachuting accident.
This list is by no means complete but should provide some indication of the various ways in which you might sustain an injury.
The time immediately after an accident can be difficult. Not only should you be seeking medical advice and treatment, but there is a big question mark over what needs to be done next. If you believe that the accident was not your fault, then the following steps might prove to be hugely helpful in evidencing your military injury claims. They go as follows:
Step 1: Take photos of the area in which you sustained your injury. As well as the actual site of the incident, photographs of the surrounding area can be highly illustrative and informative.
Step 2: Be sure to get the contact details of any possible witnesses. This can include names, telephone numbers, postal and email addresses, and so on.
Step 3: Visit a doctor and get a medical exam. A medical statement that accurately explains the injury and the pain you may be feeling after sustaining your injury can be very helpful in assessing whether you might be due compensation.
Step 4: Take a moment to draft as complete a written statement as you possibly can. Write down everything which you can remember, which can include (but is not limited to):
Your activities and movements in the moments leading up to the accident.
Any contextual details such as the nature of your journey, the weather, the reason you happened to be in the area, etc.
Exact information regarding the time and the date of the accident.
Any follow up information regarding your condition, such as the time and date of visits to doctors and the noticing of new symptoms.
When the time comes to help you assess the claim, our team will pour over this evidence. The more you have, the better a foundation we can build from. Given the stress faced by many in the aftermath of an accident, knowing what to do next can be difficult. Following these steps, however, could prove to be invaluable.
Claiming Compensation for a Military or Armed Forces Accident as an Enlisted Person
If you have sustained an injury while serving in the military or armed forces, the approach you will take in making military injury claims will differ from that of a typical (civilian) personal injury claim. There will be two main options you may choose from in seeking compensation for your injury. The two options are:
Making a claim through the AFCS
Making a civil claim
The AFCS was created specifically to deal with accidents and injuries and is different in that it does not place the utmost importance on finding fault in cases such as these. Rather, the important factor is that an employee has either suffered an injury or has contracted a sickness. Blame, thanks to legislation such as this, becomes less of a factor and the injured party must simply prove that the injury was suffered while serving.
However, should you decide to pursue a civil claim, it may be required to prove that an employer (in this case, the armed forces or the military) was negligent and that their negligence led to the accident. When seeking armed forces scheme payouts following an injury, this difference is significant. So what are the advantages of the AFCS compared to typical civilian cases?
The advantage of the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS):
Here are some advantages of making military injury claims through the AFCS:
You have 7 years to make a claim for an injury. This is very beneficial as it may take time for you to correlate particular pains with an incident that occurred many years ago.
There is no need to deduce which party is at fault.
The disadvantage of the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme:
Certain injuries will prove extremely problematic in making a claim. These injuries involve:
injuries sustained by non-authorised sports activity.
injuries sustained at a social event.
slipping, tripping, or falling.
injuries that were sustained because of the use of tobacco, alcohol, drugs or consensual intercourse.
The advantage of a civil claim:
You can make military injury claims against any form of injury sustained in the workplace (while serving)
You may be able to claim damages other than those outlined by the AFCS.
The disadvantage of a civil claim:
Like all civilians, you will have three years from the date of your injury to make a claim for your injury.
Proving that you were not at fault is much more difficult than in AFCS cases.
The Military and Armed Forces Compensation Scheme
Under the AFCS, the time frame in which you are able to make military injury claims with Veterans UK (renamed from the Service Personnel and Veterans Agency) is 7 years starting from the date of the accident. This is important because:
If the injury you sustained or the sickness that has been contracted only becomes apparent years after the accident, you can still make a claim.
If you only realise that extant conditions and symptoms can be attributed to the accident years later, you are still able to make a claim.
The Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) offers compensation for pain and suffering as specified by armed forces compensation scheme tariffs. In certain cases, this compensation may take the form of a monthly payment which is noted as a result of your discharge. The scheme has been in effect since April, 2005. Injuries sustained before this date are typically dealt with by the War Pension Scheme.
It should be noted that the AFCS deals only with providing compensation for pain and suffering. Further damages are not awarded through this scheme. This could include travel expenses or specialist treatments. Furthermore, compensation is arranged through specific, pre-set tariffs.
Claiming Compensation for a Military or Armed Force accident in a Public Place
The Armed Forces Compensation Scheme is not applicable to every scenario in which you might have suffered an injury. While the vast majority of military injury claims are suitable for inclusion in the AFCS, civil cases also have their place. This is particularly true of incidents which occur in public places, away from the active line of duty. In these instances, a civil claim can be made up to three years after the initial accident. Public places, in this instance, can include (but are not limited to) places such as
Hotels or Motels
A Movie Theatre
Typically, injuries suffered in public places will result in civil cases. As such, they do not simply cover pain and suffering. They also include loss of earnings, treatment costs, and other damages. Unlike the AFCS, compensation is not fixed. Rather, final amounts can vary. As such, there is a great deal of added complexity. Discussing the case with a solicitor is the best option when evaluating your options.
Judging the Seriousness of a Military or Armed Forces Accident
Should you decide to seek compensation by making military injury claims, you must understand how severe the injury is, as this will impact how much you will be compensated. Diagnosing the seriousness of an injury takes many factors into consideration, including the level of pain being suffered, the time the injury takes to heal, and the impact which it has on your day-to-day life.
For minor injuries, you might receive a smaller amount. For major injuries (such as the loss of motor functions or an amputation), you might receive more as this would be considered a more severe injury. If you chose to meet with us or have a free conversation about your case, we can help you establish the seriousness of your injuries and, thus, provide an estimate regarding potential compensation.
How to Begin a Military or Armed Forces Compensation Claim
As in civilian life, making military injury claims can be complex. This is why many people turn to solicitors in order to help them navigate the difficult legal terrain. With cases involving the military and the armed forces, however, matters can become even more complicated. In simple terms, there are two ways in which claims are initiated:
If you have been medically discharged, then Veterans UK might help establish a contribution to you automatically. However, this depends on the circumstances that led up to you being discharged for medical reasons.
Alternatively, fill out an Armed Forces Compensation claim form.
The added complexity of cases involving the armed forces and the military means that many victims are unsure of which route suits them best. There are many factors to consider, to the point where finding a single answer on your own becomes incredibly difficult. In situations such as this, expert legal advice can be invaluable.
Hence, we offer a free consultation session in which we can outline your options and layout the process in simple, easy to understand terms. What's more, should you decide to proceed, we can operate on a 'No Win No Fee' basis. If you want to learn how to initiate a compensation claim, our legal advice is indispensable.
Once you have decided to pursue compensation through military injury claims, one of the biggest questions you will have will likely relate to what exactly you can claim in a case. In civil cases, especially, the types of damages you can claim will be highly variable and entirely dependent on the specific nature of your case.
Listed below are the most common examples of what many people claim for:
General damages – includes the pain and suffering you have experienced or experience on a daily basis. It also includes the mental and emotional damage you may be suffering as a result of your injury. Mental health claims such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are included in this. PTSD is often found in soldiers who have experienced incredibly traumatising events. Depending on the circumstances, an armed forces compensation scheme PTSD payout can exceed cases involving physical injury. A related condition is depression, sometimes as a result of bullying. Conditions such as these are damaging to your mental health and you can be compensated accordingly.
Care claim – includes any help you may have needed following the accident or still require long after the accident. For example, if you have needed help around the house, assistance in going outdoors, or someone to feed and bathe you. Care claims can help pay for these services.
Loss of earnings – includes the money you could have earned had you not sustained an injury. You can be reimbursed for the weeks or months that you were absent due to the injury you sustained.
Travel expenses – includes any travel costs that were incurred because of your accident. For example, if you sustained an injury and had to take a taxi drive to the hospital, this is a cost that can be reimbursed. This will also include any scheduled visits to the hospital, bus and train tickets, and fuel costs.
Medical expenses – includes any treatments that you may have required after your accident. This includes physiotherapy, as well as any potential private healthcare treatments you received.
In a civil case, these damages and many more can be addressed. Often, it is the injury itself which is the greatest deciding factor. In the next section, we will examine how severity and specificity of an injury can affect the eventual compensation total.
The amount you may receive for your military injury claims is dependent upon how severe the injury is that you have sustained. Included below is a table of compensation claims amounts for the different injuries you may have sustained as a result of the accident. Using the Armed Forces Compensation scheme calculator you will be able to estimate how much you may be compensated.
An additional factor that will determine how much you can be compensated for your injury is called the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme Tariff which is a ranking system that determines how severe the injury is that you have sustained and how much you may be compensated for it.
The AFCS uses a grading system in which injuries numbered (1) are the most severe and those numbered (15) are the most minor injuries. Each of these numbers is placed in a 'band' which determines how great a percentage of the claim they will receive monthly. The bands are:
Band A – You receive 100% of your future earnings (which include pension and salary). You are incapable of going back to work due to the seriousness of your injury.
Band B – You receive 75% of your future earnings. You are able to work but your capacity to work is significantly reduced.
Band C – You receive 50% of your future earnings. You will be able to work but you are only able to work half of the time.
Band D – You will receive 30% of your future earnings. You will be able to work, though your time at work will be reduced.
Band E – No GIP is awarded as the injury does not interfere with your job.
There are nine types of tables categories that the tariff of injury tables includes:
Here are the 9 categories of military injury claims tariffs:
Table 1 – includes burns.
Table 2 – include injuries, wounds, and scarring.
Table 3 – include mental health conditions.
Table 4 – include physical disorders (ailments and infectious diseases).
Table 5 – include amputations.
Table 6 – include any neurological disorder (this also includes spinal, head, or brain injuries).
Table 7 – includes injuries affecting your senses.
Table 8 – include any fractures or dislocations.
Table 9 – includes musculoskeletal disorders.
Tables function as categories of injuries. Within the respective tables, the injury will be assessed and matched to a specific tariff. This tariff will then correspond to a band, which dictates the eventual payout. Listed below is the AFCS tariff table:
Current Award
Level of GIP Awarded
1 £570,000 Band A
5 £175,000 Band B
7 £90,000 Band C
9 £40,000 Band D
10 £27,000 Band D
12 £10,000 Band E
13 £6,000 Band E
Let's take a look at some examples of injuries, matching the injury with the tariff level.
Tariff Level
Burn that cause scars 15 Up to £79,700
Burns that lead to loss of motor functions 6 Dependent upon body part burned.
Injury or wound causing scarring 14 Up to £79,700
Mental Disorder 1 £41,675 to £88,000
Ailments and Infectious Diseases Up to £103,250
Amputation 9 Up to £228,000
Spinal Injury (Minor) 6 Up to £9,500
Spinal Injury (Severe) 6 £29,475 to £122,350
Head Injury 1 Up to £307,000
Fractures of bones 4 Up to £103,250
Open fracture of bone 14 Up to £103,250
Minor Loss of Motor Skills 11 £32,725 to £166,500
Complete Loss of Motor Skills 5 £246,750 to £307,000
As shown above, how severe the injury is, is a key factor in determining how much you will be compensated. In receiving your compensation there are two ways in which you may receive your compensation. These are:
Lump Sum Payout
For any injury you may have sustained or any sickness you may have contracted, you will be given the full lump sum. This means the compensation will arrive as a single payment. When receiving this compensation from the AFCS, the money you receive is tax-free. The average lump sum ranges from £1,200 – £570,000.
Guaranteed Income Payments (GIP)
Under this method, you will be paid on a monthly basis. The income you receive will also be tax-free. Under this method, a number of factors are taken into account when deciding the amount that will be paid monthly.
Finally, you might find yourself asking, when initiating the armed forces compensation scheme how long does it take? The time frame in which you will receive your compensation is, again, based on how serious the injury is and the complexity of your case. It can take anything from a few weeks to a few months to complete.

Armed Forces Compensation Scheme


We examined the influence of S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) on alpha(IIb)beta(3) integrin-mediated platelet adhesion to immobilised fibrinogen. GSNO induced a time- and concentration-dependent inhibition of platelet adhesion. Inhibition was cGMP-independent and associated with both reduced platelet spreading and protein tyrosine phosphorylation. To investigate the cGMP-independent effects of NO we evaluated integrin beta(3) phosphorylation. Adhesion to fibrinogen induced rapid phosphorylation of beta(3) on tyrosines 773 and 785, which was reduced by GSNO in a cGMP independent manner. Similar results were observed in suspended platelets indicating that NO-induced effects were independent of spreading-induced signalling. This is the first demonstration that NO directly regulates integrin beta(3) phosphorylation.

Russian website iMGSRC.ru used by US soldier to post photo of minor
A US soldier working at Mar-a-Lago uploaded photos of an underage girl to a Russian website — a closer look at the site reveals a horrific underworld
Ben Gilbert
US Army Staff Sgt. Richard Ciccarella was stationed at President Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida from August 2017 to March 2018.
During that period, prosecutors say, Ciccarella uploaded topless pictures of a relative to a Russian website named iMGSRC.ru.
A cursory inspection of the website reveals it to be an anonymized imageboard, like 4chan and 8chan, that's home to an active community of people sharing photos of children with sexually suggestive and overtly sexual statements.
You'd never know from the front page of the Russian website iMGSRC that, within its depths, dozens of users are sharing photos of children in various states of undress.
The comments sections underneath those photo galleries are full of other users, all anonymized, weighing in with correspondingly disturbing remarks.
It's this website where US Army Staff Sgt. Richard Ciccarella is said to have uploaded topless pictures of a young female relative. Ciccarella pleaded guilty on Friday to lying to federal investigators about an email address for a Russian website; according to Assistant US Attorney Gregory Schiller, the photos didn't constitute child pornography.
Instead, he's being charged with making a false statement to a federal agent.
"The lie and the obstruction was to cover up an email address to cover up a much bigger investigation that was going on," Schiller said, according to a report in the Palm Beach Post.

From August 2017 to March 2018, Ciccarella was assigned to the US Army communications detail at President Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. It was during this period that he is accused of uploading the photos of an underage girl, said to be his relative — one such photo showed an underage girl in underwear next to a Christmas tree, the Miami Herald reported, with the caption, "dirty comments [sic] welcome."
A closer look at the website reveals a much deeper issue: The site is rife with users sharing photos of children in various states of dress, often paired with explicit or suggestive sexual statements.
Like 4chan and 8chan, iMGSRC is an "image board" — an anonymized web forum that allows users to host photos and comment on them. As of September 28, it boasted 1,168,898 registered users. Many of those users upload relatively banal images, like animal and travel photos. Indeed, much of the front page of iMGSRC features photos of cute animals.
But, also like 4chan and 8chan, much of that content seemingly isn't being moderated: We found example after example of users sharing photos albums of children. Some of those photos feature children in their underwear or various states of undress. In every case, those photos were paired with sexual comments from the original uploaded and other users.
The FAQ of iMGSRC addresses the moderation question directly: "We can not be held responsible for what user post on site," it says, "But we do take care to keep host as clean as possible." It also specifically states, "ABSOLUTELY NO CHILD PORN, no child abusive pics and NO child abusive comments! Your account will be banned permanently."
Terms of service aside, it's clear from a brief look around the site that those rules are loose at best. Many of the photos are unlikely to be legally considered "pornography," similar to the ruling with Ciccarella, as the children aren't fully nude.
iMGSRC has gained a reputation in the criminal community for hosting such material. In 2014 a US District Court of Kansas ruling recognized that the site was frequently used to host and trade child pornography. The website has been used in other countries to identify uploaders of illicit pictures of minors as well.
Representatives from iMGSRC did not respond to a request for comment as of publishing.

Instead of requiring idle spares in standby mode as in other failover methods, Multi-Active N+M Failover puts all the FortiADCs to work load balancing and delivering applications. If a FortiADC in the N+M cluster should fail, the others seamlessly pick up the workload until you or your team can get the failed FortiADC back online.
FortiADC also supports Fortinet's FortiDirector cloud-based global server load balancing service as an alternative to FortiADC's included GSLB. From within the FortiADC GUI you can sign up for a free FortiDirector account and monitor HTTP and DNS redirect statistics generated by the FortiDirector service for devices connected to your account.
FortiADCs use Network Address Translation (NAT), Source NAT, Outbound NAT and spoofing to effectively and efficiently route traffic between clients and servers. With support for direct server return, Multi-Gateway and Multi-Netting, Link Aggregation (LACP), IPv6 routing, NTP and tagged VLAN support for up to 4094 802.1Q VLANs, you get the flexibility you need as your network topology evolves without having to buy new equipment.
Are you ready for the transition to IPv6? FortiADC can make it easier with 6in4 Tunneling supported on all FortiADCs. Through the use of a tunnel broker, you can assign IPv6 addresses to your server clusters making them available to any client on an IPv6 network.
FortiADC provides the ability to configure routing to match network topologies from the simplest to the very complex through Policybased Routing. You can define routing behavior for each subnet, based on either destination IP address or source IP address of packets traversing FortiADC.
Built-in Link Load Balancing gives you the option to connect your FortiADC to two or more WAN links to reduce the risk of outages or to add additional bandwidth to relieve traffic congestion. FortiADC supports inbound and outbound Link Load Balancing to manage traffic leaving or entering the device.
All FortiADCs support SSL offloading to relieve your servers from the computational workload of SSL/TLS session negotiation, encryption and decryption, letting them instead focus on the applications they were meant to serve. Some models come equipped with hardware-based acceleration.
Not all applications were written with SSL in mind and many scale poorly when SSL is enabled. FortiADC's SSL offloading eliminates these problems with an easy to deploy acceleration solution. Processing is moved from your servers to FortiADC making applications significantly faster and secure without software or other intrusive changes.
FortiADC uses Gzip HTTP compression for content-rich applications. You can compress server generated data up to 5 times before it's delivered to a client using any modern web browser saving you bandwidth costs and improving response times to your users.
FortiADC's Smart Control framework with Smart Control Automation manages notifications, logging and corrections to your application environments. Intuitive construction of graphical or CLI-based rule sets let you configure responses to almost any condition including resource management to power up or power down IPMI-compliant servers in response to changes in demand.
If you're looking for a comprehensive set of tools to manage your VMware environment, FortiADC has you covered. Every FortiADC supports VMware load balancing using VMware's management API to retrieve real-time virtual server availability and resource utilization from a VMware vCenter console. With FortiADC's Smart Control Automation you get even deeper integration into VMware with the ability to load balance based on VM CPU and VM RAM and spin-up or spin-down VMs in response to demand.
From basic static websites to enterprise Microsoft® Exchange installations, FortiADC can support virtually any internet-based application. Easy to follow deployment guides are available for the top Microsoft® applications including Exchange 2010 and 2013.
Attackers use many methods to infect and control devices to launch automated phishing, spamming, and DDoS attacks. The FortiGuard IP Reputation Service aggregates security data from around the world to provide up-to-date information about threatening sources. With feeds from distributed network gateways combined with world-class research done by FortiGuard Labs, organizations can stay up to date and proactively block attacks.
Do you prefer a command line or an intuitive graphical user interface? Either way FortiADC provides the tools you need to easily manage your device. The context-sensitive CLI provides complete control of every aspect of your FortiADC, not just a subset of functions like some other manufacturers. Even if you're a CLI-jockey, you'll appreciate the thought-through layout and features of our graphical user interface for most tasks from setting up server pools to running sophisticated traffic reports. If you'd rather manage your FortiADC from another device or application, FortiADC's REST API gives you the flexibility you need.
FortiADC's Role-based Management lets you easily establish multiple users and groups allowing it to be managed by one or more data center personnel. As the administrator, you can assign read, write, create and delete permissions to individual users or groups to give as little or as much control over your FortiADC to fit the needs of your organization.
* Caching, DDoS Mitigation, and Server Side Encryption are not supported on the FortiADC-100E.
** DDoS Mitigation is not supported on the FortiADEC-200.

In a small saucepan, heat jelly and lime juice over medium heat until melted. Set aside 1/2 cup for serving.
Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. On a greased grill rack, grill chicken, covered, over medium heat 15-20 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170°-175°, turning occasionally and basting with remaining jelly mixture during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Serve with reserved jelly mixture.
2 chicken drumsticks: 361 calories, 12g fat (3g saturated fat), 95mg cholesterol, 494mg sodium, 34g carbohydrate (24g sugars, 1g fiber), 29g protein.
These are yummy and have the right amount of heat that didn't burn my mouth. I used https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/hot-pepper-jelly in this recipe. I made our drumsticks in the oven and they turned out good.
Awesomely delicious! I used Stonewall Kitchen's red jalapeno pepper jelly which is a local favorite. No one used the reserved jelly mixture so we get to have more!!!! Will definitely make these again.
This worked fine in the oven instead of on the grill. Jalapeno-lime is an interesting combination and is very tasty! A nice change from barbecue sauce!
Outstanding! It doesn't get much easier than this. I cut up a whole chicken rather than just drumsticks and this was delicious. I will definitely make these again.

Casino is een televisiereclame uit 1987, waarmee de Golf Mk2 GTi werd geïntroduceerd. De reclamespot werd geproduceerd door Doyle Dane Bernbach. De advertentie wordt ook wel The Man genoemd; afgeleid van de herhalende zinsnede "This is the man who [...]" (Nederlands: Dit is de man die [...]).

Verhaal
Het filmpje toont een man die 's nachts uit een casino stapt na een lange reeks verliezen. De voice-over beschrijft zijn tegenslagen op financieel en romantisch gebied. De boodschap van de advertentie is dat de man na alles wat hij heeft verloren, nog steeds zijn betrouwbare Golf heeft om mee naar huis te rijden.

Changes
Na de première van Casino volgde een reclamespot met een vrouwelijke hoofdrolspeler. In de spot speelt Paula Hamilton de rol van een radeloze vrouw. Tijdens het weglopen gooit ze de waardevolle spullen die ze draagt weg. Ze aarzelt op het punt dat ze haar autosleutels weg wil gooien. Het filmpje eindigt met haar glimlachend wegrijden, en de slogan "Was alles in het leven maar zo betrouwbaar als een Volkswagen."

Media
In aflevering 7 van seizoen 17 van Top Gear, kregen de presentatoren de opdracht om een commercial te maken voor de (destijds) nieuwe Volkswagen Scirocco-diesel. Een van de advertenties die ze maakten was een parodie op de Casino reclamespot. Echter werden geen van hun spotjes goedgekeurd door het reclamefirm van Volkswagen. Na het uitzenden van de aflevering ontving de tv-zender 50 klachten, omdat de man in de parodie zelfmoord pleegt aan het einde van het filmpje.

In aflevering 11 van seizoen 1 van The Grand Tour, werd een eerbetoon gedaan aan de eerdere parodie in de vorm van This the man who drives a Maserati.

Muslim Deceit and the Burden of Proof
01/23/2020 by Raymond Ibrahim Leave a Comment
In his recent defense of the Islamic doctrine of taqiyya (dismantled here), Usama Hasan, of the UK think tank Quilliam, made the following admission:
It is true that hardened islamist terrorists, such as the Al-Qaeda & ISIS supporter Usman Khan who murdered two people at Fishmongers' Hall [after pretending to have been "rehabilitated"], do misuse the principle of taqiyyah in order to further their cause. However, the charge that all Muslims are generally religiously obligated to lie, and do so routinely, is both dangerous and untrue.
While this may be true, it is also inevitable. After all, how is the infidel to know which Muslim is and isn't "misusing the principle of taqiyyah"? Moreover, why should the burden of proof be on the non-Muslim—who stands to (and often does) suffer and even gets killed from ignoring the role of deceit in Islam—and not on the Muslim, whose religion allows deception in the first place? This is particularly so since more than a few "hardened islamist terrorists" are convinced that their creed allows them to dissimulate to their heart's content—so long as doing so can be seen as helping further the cause of Islam.
In this, as in virtually all things Islamic, Muslims have their prophet's example—two that are especially poignant—to turn to.
First is the assassination of Ka'b ibn Ashraf (d. 624), an elderly Jew. Because he dared mock Muhammad, the latter exclaimed, "Who will kill this man who has hurt Allah and his messenger?" A young Muslim named Ibn Maslama volunteered on condition that to get close enough to Ka'b to murder him, he needed permission to lie to the Jew.
Allah's messenger agreed. So Ibn Maslama traveled to Ka'b and began to complain about Muhammad until his disaffection became so convincing that Ka'b eventually dropped his guard and befriended him.
After behaving as his friend for some time, Ibn Maslama eventually appeared with another Muslim, also pretending to have apostatized. Then, while a trusting Ka'b's guard was done, they attacked and slaughtered him, bringing his head to Muhammad to the usual triumphant cries of "Allahu Akbar!"
In another account, after Muhammad and his followers had attacked, plundered, and massacred a number of non-Muslim Arabs and Jews, the latter assembled and were poised to defeat the Muslims (at the Battle of the Trench, 627). But then Naim bin Mas'ud, one of the leaders of these non-Muslim "confederates," as they came to be known in history, secretly went to Muhammad and converted to Islam. The prophet asked him to return to his tribesmen and allies—without revealing that he had joined the Muslim camp—and to try to get them to abandon the siege. "For," Muhammad assured him, "war is deceit."
Mas'ud returned, pretending to be loyal to his former kinsmen and allies, all while giving them bad advice. He also subtly instigated quarrels between the various tribes until, no longer trusting each other, they disbanded—thereby making Mas'ud a celebrated hero in Islamic tradition.
In the two well-known examples above, Muslims deceived non-Muslims not because they were being persecuted for being Muslim but as a tactic to empower Islam. (Even the Battle of the Trench was precipitated precisely because Muhammad and his followers had first attacked the confederates at the Battle of Badr and massacred hundreds of them on other occasions.)
Despite these stories being part of the Sunna to which Sunnis adhere, UCLA's Abou El Fadl—the primary expert the Washington Post once quoted to show that Islam does not promote deceit—claims that "there is no concept that would encourage a Muslim to lie to pursue a goal. That is a complete invention."
Tell that to Ka'b ibn Ashraf, whose head was cut off for believing Muslim lies. The prophet of Islam allowed his followers to deceive the Jew to slaughter him—even though Ka'b posed no threat to any Muslim's life.
Especially revealing is that, in Dr. Sami Makerem's seminal book on the topic, Al-Taqiyya fi'l Islam (Taqiyya in Islam), he cites the two aforementioned examples from the prophet's biography as prime examples of taqiyya.
It comes to this: even if one were to accept the limited definition of taqiyya as permitting deception only under life threatening circumstances (as Usama Hasan and any number of apologists insist), the fact remains: Islam also permits lies and deception in order to empower itself. Accordingly, and considering that Islam considers itself in a constant state of war with non-Islam (typified by the classical formulation of Dar al-Islam vs. Dar al-Harb) any Muslim who feels this or that piece of deception over the infidel is somehow benefiting Islam will believe that he has a blank check to lie.
That's the inconvenient fact—passingly admitted to by Usama Hasan—that needs addressing; and that's why the burden of proof concerning sincerity belongs on Muslims, not non-Muslims.

Medicine Outside the UK: Applying to Ireland
As part of the Medicine Outside the UK series, this article will focus on assisting students keen on furthering their journey in medicine by applying to medical school in the Republic of Ireland.
There are 6 medical schools in the Republic of Ireland offering both undergraduate and postgraduate entry options. Unlike other regions, requirements for admission are quite specific to each medical school especially when it comes to assessing international applicants.
The main takeaway from this article would be that EU students* will be required to take the HPAT entrance exam and apply through the CAO portal system. In regards to other application requirements, along with the following information, we'd advise you to contact the universities directly to ensure you have the necessary qualifications to make an eligible application.
*At the moment, CAO has confirmed that when applying, UK students are treated the same as EU students. Additionally, students with UK nationality will continue to be eligible under the nationality criteria of the free fees scheme and are eligible for EU fees (once all other criteria are also met)
Pathway Options
5-6 year Undergraduate degree (MB BCh BAO Hons)
4 year Graduate Entry degree (MChD, MD)
Health Professionals Admissions Test (HPAT)
Graduate Medical Schools Admissions Test (GAMSAT) or Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT)
Interviews are not a required point of assessment for entry into Irish Medical Schools if you are an applicant from the EU/EEA and applying through CAO. International students are assessed individually and because of this, may be required to to have one.
Academic requirements for Irish Medical Schools are measured using the Central Applications Office (CAO) points system. Different point requirements are set by each medical school and can be found detailed in the table below, accurate as of 2020.
Non-EU students are evaluated individually by universities and do not follow the same set requirements but it can be assumed that high grades will be expected of successful applicants.
Generally, a minimum IELTS score of 7.0 is sufficient proof of proficiency required for entry to the course but this varies and we advise you check with the specific medical school you are applying to. Other recognised qualifications include, but are not limited to: the PTE, Cambridge PreU and English A-Level/IB but specific requirements vary according to university.
Residents of EU/EEA countries are able to make their applications through CAO while international students are able to apply directly through their chosen university portals. In some cases, international students may be able to make their applications using private agents which will have different sets of requirements to be fulfilled and it would be best to contact them directly to best understand what's required of you.
CAO applications generally open in November the year before the intake and close in February with some exceptions. Direct application deadlines differ between universities so we advise you check to ensure your application is sent in on time.
EU Fees are set at around €8000-€9000 per year and international student fees are more expensive resting at around €47,000-€55,000 per year (accurate as of 2020). To determine if you are eligible for EU fees, you need to get your status assessed by individual universities but the following flowchart from the UCD Registry should be of some help:
Recognised by the GMC?
As of 2020, all medical school programmes offered in the Republic of Ireland are recognised by the GMC. Upon graduation, you are eligible to apply for registration with the GMC, which will allow you to work in the NHS (although finding a job is not guaranteed upon registration).
Can I stay on in Ireland upon graduation?
At the moment, the responsibility of allocation of intern positions available following graduation falls on the Health Service Executive (HSE), which has made it explicitly clear that those who don't require a work visa will be prioritised over those who do.
A summary of the undergraduate programmes on offer can be seen in the list below and are accurate as of 2020 but are subject to change and we advise you contact the universities directly for any queries you may have.
CAO point requirement: 480
CAO + HPAT Point requirement (ave): 730
Entrance exam: HPAT
CAO + HPAT Point requirement (ave): 734-736
The National University of Ireland Galway
The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland

Red Sox Game Stories
Red Sox 4, Yankees 3: New-look Sox earn first win
A mixed night on the mound for Anthony Ranaudo ultimately proved productive, keeping the Red Sox just ahead of the Yankees in their first post-deadline victory.
By Ben Buchanan@OverTheMonster Aug 2, 2014, 3:30am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Red Sox 4, Yankees 3: New-look Sox earn first win
Jim Rogash
The Red Sox are off to a 1-0 start in this post-deadline world, defeating the New York Yankees 4-3 Friday night in Fenway Park.
Taking the mound for his major league debut, Anthony Ranaudo produced a strange sort of night with a line deceptive in more ways than one. On the surface, we have six innings of two-run ball. A positive, to be sure. Dig a little deeper, and we have four walks and two strikeouts--a recipe that, if Ranaudo sticks to it, will invariably prove disastrous down the line. Dig still deeper, however, and...well, the picture only gets foggier.
On the one hand, Ranaudo showed the lack of depth that has many wondering about his ability to stick as a starter in the majors. He threw mostly fastballs, mixing in the occasional curveball, and barely touching his changeup. Completely absent was the slider which Ranaudo has added to ensure his repertoire was diverse enough for a major league starter. Not at all a good sign.
On the other...well, the pitches he threw weren't all that bad. A few off-speed pitches that didn't end up where he wanted, and certainly some signs of a debut pitcher overthrowing in his anxiousness. But also a remarkable amount of what can only be described as paint from such a young arm. This did not necessarily serve him as well as it shoud have in his first start--umpires won't be giving the rookie the benefit of the doubt, after all. But it seems like something that will serve him quite well in the future, particularly if he has an impressive framer behind the plate taking borderline pitches and making them strikes.
As it was, though, Ranaudo had to rely on his defense to get by rather than his ability to place pitches. They backed him up ably, leaving the Yankees unable to produce much in the way of sustained offense off Ranaudo. The first New York run off him came on a Carlos Beltran solo shot, the second on a Beltran single after a leadoff walk and stolen base (called safe on replay) by Jacoby Ellsbury. Otherwise, the Red Sox kept the Yankees quiet through the first six, never letting any given inning get out of hand.
The Red Sox, meanwhile, found the sustained rally the Red Sox could not in the third. Brock Holt managed to pull into third base with one out when his well-hit ground ball found the right field corner, setting up Dustin Pedroia for an RBI double. David Ortiz was able to make it 2-0 with another hit to right and, if he had been any more reasonable baserunner, might well have made it 3-0 when Allen Craig produced his first hit with the Red Sox, doubling into the left field corner. Ortiz, however, is one of the slowest runners you'll see, leaving the Sox up just two when Xander Bogaerts grounded out to end the frame.
Still, the third Red Sox run was just around the corner, with Will Middlebrooks doubling in his return to action and David Ross singling him home in the top of the fourth. Unfortunately for Ross, his night would rapidly head south as he left the game in the sixth, injuring his foot while running to first base. It now appears that Boston's catcher is headed to the disabled list.
The Yankees would end up grabbing their third run of the night in the eighth, with Junichi Tazawa allowing a leadoff homer to Derek Jeter. But that would only come after the Red Sox struck for their fourth run in the bottom of the seventh, with Dustin Pedroia knocking in Mookie Betts to make it 4-2 at the time. Betts would proceed to save Tazawa from allowing what would very likely have been a game-tying run, making a lunging grab in center field to rob Jacoby Ellsbury of extra bases immediately after Jeter's homer.
Tazawa ran into even more trouble in the eighth, but finally managed to escape the inning by getting Chase Headley to ground out before handing the ball off to Koji Uehara, who didn't have nearly so much trouble, recording a 1-2-3 ninth to lock up the first win for the new-look Red Sox.

Wellington's Bluebridge ferry says what appears to be a vessel on fire in the harbour is part of a drill.
A witness says the ferry came into the harbour early on Saturday morning and emitted a series of hoots, then carried out a 180 degree turn and appears to have let out some smoke.
However, the Fire Service and Bluebridge Ferries say the manouevre is part of a routine drill and is nothing to be alarmed about.
The smoke has come from a smaller vessel next to the ferry.

The three major players dropped from the tour of Pakistan are Mohammad Ashraful, Sanwar Hossain and Monjurul Islam. Mohammad Ashraful's name in the dropping list is a very predictable one, although it may not be a correct decision.
The three major players dropped from the tour of Pakistan are Mohammad Ashraful, Sanwar Hossain and Monjurul Islam. Mohammad Ashraful's name in the dropping list is a very predictable one, although it may not be a correct decision. But if anyone from the eleven certain players had to leave, it had to be Ashraful. Sanwar Hossain is the second player in the dropped list. He has never been able to make himself a permanent member of the team. But I think that his exclusion from the team has to do a lot with his 'suspect bowling action' in the tour of Australia rather than anything else. He has scored a few runs, never being a consistent performer, but his bowling had always kept him in the side. When he was called for his suspect bowling action during the tour of Australia, it must have done something to him, for which reason he could not bowl properly in the first one day match in Pakistan. This had probably prompted the selectors to drop him from the squad.
Monjurul Islam is one surprising name that has been out of the preliminary team. Normally, he is a hard worker and although not fast, he is quite an accurate seamer in One Dayers. I guess four years of International Cricket has taken a lot out of him. One point here is that although Monjurul Islam is left out from the preliminary list as well as from the BCB contract, Hasibul Hussain is still in the team, who is not known for his fast and yet inaccurate bowling.
The other new players in the primary squad are batsman Moniruzzaman, off spinner Fahim Muntasir, wicket keeper Mohammad Selim and leg spinner Mosaddek Hossain.
The inclusion of Fahim Muntasir and Mosaddek Hossain are justified as the wickets of Bangladesh are going to be turning wickets more suitable for spinners. Anwar Hossain can be in the team for a back-up bowler to Mashrafee Bin Murtoza and Tapash Baisya during the test series. But there are some doubts as to whether pacers like Alamgir Kabir, Tareq Aziz Khan would get too many chances to play for Bangladesh again, especially in England's tour of Bangladesh.
It was hoped that Shahriar Hossain would get the selector's nod to play for Bangladesh again after a good domestic season's play, but not including him in the preliminary squad has the Bangladesh team management in a dire situation again. Although there is a specialist opener in the side in the guise of Moniruzzaman, but there are doubts as to how much he can do to solve Bangladesh's problems in the top order, especially in the one day matches. It seems that Habibul Bashar is still the number one choice for the second opener in the team. How good that decision is, only time can tell.

This book reflects a major medical problem which is still under thorough studies. There is a number of clinical cases corresponding directly or indirectly to a certain alteration of the immune system, thus leading to various pathologic conditions. The unique defense, what humans have with their immunity, is rather often affected by infections, tumor processes, organ, tissue and cell transplantation, allergy, autoimmune processes, as well as different influences by the environment. The Book has an international team of authors all contributing to the investigation of the questions of what, why, how, when and where the immune system deviates from its normal function, what clinical consequences are manifested and is there a way to prevent and treat the immunodeficiency cases. This Book can be a very good teaching tool for students and post-docs of medicine and biology, but it also provides updated information for the colleagues immunologists, microbiologists, virologists, chemotherapists, oncologists, hematologists, transplantologists and pathologist.

The red line was crossed; let's fire a shot across the bow. It sounds so easy, so clean, so surgical. Splash! A harmless shot landing in the water to make the enemy compliant. Since the American public – and for that matter the entire world – is rightfully doubtful of yet another U.S. military adventure, the administration is trying to play down what indeed are the preparations for going to war with another country.
The graphic footage of a chemical attack on a suburb of Damascus on August 11 shocked me just as much as the rest of the world. Few will argue that this attack in fact was the indiscriminate climax of violence in an already escalating violent conflict between the Syrian regime and the many scattered opposition forces. Those who suffer most once again are the civilians.
That's what modern warfare looks like. In "The People on War Report", the International Committee of the Red Cross states that it is estimated that 10 civilians die for every soldier killed in battle. In light of this reality, surgical warfare or shot across the bow is an illusion. We will rather see more disturbing graphical footage like in the aftermath of the chemical attack on August 11. Nobel Peace Laureate Mairead Maguire wrote in her call to prevent the U.S. from going to war with Syria: "Every act has its consequences and every violent act, like the proposed U.S. military intervention, has its violent consequences which will cause the death of further Syrian civilians and result in many more refugees."
Now for the sake of argument, let's compare perspectives in favor and against a military intervention. Informed by what they know, what they think they know and what they want to know, the U.S. administration is advocating for a military response to punish Syrian President al-Assad. Like in previous wars, this distorted knowledge should be fed to the public through the mainstream media by relying on the usual "experts" and the idea that all diplomatic efforts have been exhausted. Guess what, it's not working. The American and global public know better. They know better because real experts with real credibility have been dampening the sound of the war drums with their proposals of nonviolent, more effective alternatives.
On one side we have the President's stated objective after consulting with his advisors and the military: "a shot across the bow." Fair enough for some, not good enough for most, and certainly not good enough for the Syrian people.
On the other side we have an outpouring of intelligent, thought-through, pragmatic, analytical pieces and proposals that all were far superior to the ill-advised shot across the bow option. One might think the opposition to war comes from the usual suspects, which for the sake of simplicity I will call the "Make love not war" folks. Sure, and thank goodness they will always be there. But let's look at a snapshot of other groups. United Nations General Secretary Ban Ki-moon asserts that possible strikes could lead to tragic consequences. After a real debate, the British Parliament voted against military intervention in Syria. The European Union urges for the continuation of diplomatic efforts. The Pope stated that military action in Syria would be a futile pursuit. The Elders, an independent group of global leaders including Nobel Peace Laureates Nelson Mandela, Desmund Tutu, Kofi Annan, Jimmy Carter, and Martti Ahtissari stated that there is no military solution to the conflict and urge for continued efforts to bring about a political solution. In a statement by The Nobel Women's Initiative, the laureates—Jody Williams (US), Shirin Ebadi (Iran), Tawakkol Karman (Yemen), Mairead Maguire (Ireland), Leymah Gbowee (Liberia) and Rigoberta Menchú Tum (Guatemala)—are asking the UN Security Council to refer the case of chemical weapons being used in Syria to the International Criminal Court (ICC). In a letter to President Obama, Argentinian Nobel Peace Laureate Adolfo Perez Esquivel urges the White House to desist from any military plan, pointing to the danger for international stability. Those combined voices cover a pretty good part of the list of living Nobel Peace Laureates. You'd think they know what they are talking about.
Another group is scientists with an outstanding track record of scientific inquiry into matters of war and peace, publicly assessing options to deal with the crisis. David Cortright and George Lopez from the University of Notre Dame, who are well-known for their proposal of an alternative to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, propose multilateral strategies with intensified diplomatic efforts. Stephen Zunes, one of the country's leading scholars of U.S. Middle East Policy at the University of San Francisco argues against going to war with Syria based on the illegality of an attack, the possible escalation of violence, the broad international opposition to name only a few points. Andrew Bacevich, a retired Army officer and expert on security studies and American foreign policy at Boston University reminds us of the many military enterprises and raises the point "if this militarized approach to the region maybe is a fool's errand." Fawaz Gerges, a professor of international relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science promotes the establishment of an international coalition through the United Nations Security Council instead of taking military action.
The nonviolent alternatives are too many to count, but the proposed options evolve around the major elements of continued support for the UN investigation on the use of chemical weapons, prosecuting responsible parties through the International Criminal Court (ICC), invoking targeted economic sanctions through the UN Security Council, supporting local nonviolent campaigns, pursuing diplomacy including all Syrian and international stakeholders, and initiating a peace conference including all stakeholders. These and similar proposals are considered far more effective and less costly than any kind of military approach.
I am convinced that the experts and the broad public support opened the political space the President needs to stick to his red line. There are forceful responses; they just don't include Tomahawk missiles and other death-bringing weaponry. In contrast to the limitations and undesirable consequences of a military intervention, the nonviolent alternatives are a force more powerful. President Obama can seize the unique opportunity to use nonviolent means as preferred forceful responses and set a new tone for global leadership and collaboration. Tapping into the vast set of alternatives to killing also would add substance to his Nobel Peace Prize awarded for "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy."

Government spends R1tn on infrastructure
By the end of 2014, government had spent R1tn on developing the country's infrastructure.
"The expenditure was in areas such as energy, water infrastructure, sanitation, rail, road-based public transport, and hospital revitalisation among others," Minister in the Presidency Jeff Radebe said.
Speaking on Wednesday during the Vision 2030 Summit, Minister Radebe highlighted the work that is currently underway as part of implementing the National Development Plan (NDP) specifically in infrastructure development.
The NDP is aimed at eliminating poverty and inequality by 2030. He said investments in infrastructure will expand South Africa's economic opportunities.
Minister Radebe told delegates at the summit that investments in the energy sector included the construction of Medupi and Kusile power stations and iNgula Pumped Storage Scheme.
"South Africa has enabled significant investment in the renewable energy sector totalling some R168 billion in the Four Bidding windows announced to date," he said.
Minister Radebe said South Africa was regarded as a global leader in renewable energy, having approved 79 Independent Power Producer Projects totalling 5,243MW.
Last year, Transnet announced a R50bn investment to manufacture more than 1,000 locomotives.
"The plan is that all locomotives except for the first 70 will be manufactured in South Africa and delivered by 2019.
"This will significantly expand Transnet's general freight capacity to support economic activity as well as expand the country's industrial capacity," he said.
In 2012, Transnet Freight Rail announced the expansion of the Sishen Iron-Ore line for R28.6bn. The project is currently underway.
Government has also earmarked R7bn for investment in the country's ports by Transnet Ports Authority as part of Operation Phakisa, which is aimed at unlocking the economic potential of the country's oceans.
"A further commitment of R 9.2bn of public and private investment for the construction of a new berth in Saldana Bay, the extension of the Mossgas Quay and the refurbishment of the Offshore Supply Base has also been made," Minister Radebe said.
The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) has awarded a tender for the new rail rolling stock estimated to cost R51bn.
PRASA will spend R4bn on new hybrid locomotives over a 10 year period.
"A rail passenger factory will be established in Nigel, Ekurhuleni for the manufacture and assembly of locomotives and trains.
"It is expected that over 65,000 direct and indirect jobs will be created," said Minister Radebe.
Government recently announced an amount of R1.1bn for the upgrade of the Moloto Road to improve safety and mobility on this road. Government will spend R13bn on the Research, Development and Support Programme through the Department of Science and Technology. The department will also make transfers to the National Research Foundation of R2.7bn to support 4539 researchers, 15,918 masters students and 9,615 doctoral students.
"It is important that we understand that initiatives by government are not undertaken in isolation and form part of a broader mandate to expand economic opportunities and improve the lives of our people," Minister Radebe said

Call for Papers: Innovation and Engineering Management in Emerging Economies
Special Issue: Innovation and Engineering Management in Emerging Economies
Dr. Li Da Xu, Old Dominion University, USA, LXu@odu.edu
Dr. Dirk Meissner, Higher School of Economics, National Research University, Russia, dmeissner@hse.ru
Dr. Ruy Quadros, S&T Policy Department, State University of Campinas, Brazil, ruyqc@ige.unicamp.br
Over the past decade, the development of emerging economies as drivers of global economic growth has been one of the most fundamental trends. Emerging economies account for ever more of world's exports, including technology exports, while emerging country firms have heightened their profile in the global innovation landscape (Altenburg et al. 2008, Ernst 2008, Li and Kozhikode 2009, Lema et al. 2015). Such changes required the building of substantial technological and engineering capabilities, but this is not the entire picture. In order to move up from basic innovation to advanced innovation capabilities, firms in emerging economies have undergone a process of change and improvement in their managerial skills, by means of developing and adopting best practices of innovation and engineering management. Managerial skills are an enabling factor for dealing with systemic innovation processes and complex engineering projects. Nevertheless, while there has been substantial research on technological catching up in emerging economies, concern with how they are facing the challenges of adoption of innovation and engineering management practices have received little attention. The purpose of the Special Issue is to report on the state-of-the-art of, and emerging trends in, research and practice of innovation and engineering management in emerging economies
Innovation and engineering management theories and practices in emerging economies have made many large scale engineering and innovation projects successful in countries such as Brazil, China, India, and Russia. In fact, some emerging countries' innovation and engineering projects are world class projects in terms of scale, complexity and new technology achievement. China's high speed train and Three Gorge Dam, Russia's aircraft engines, India's satellite programme and Brazil's deep water oil exploration are well known though not isolated examples. Researchers are interested in understanding whether innovation and engineering management theories and practices in emerging economies are distinctive. What are the characteristics that distinguish innovation and engineering management in emerging economies from their counterparts in developed economies? Evidence suggests that some engineering management theories and practices in emerging economies are different from their counterparts in developed economies. For example, Technological Economics is a subject originated in China which has been widely applied and has provided insights into the engineering management practice in China for many years. Likewise, the Frugal and Reverse Innovation approaches have been theorized from the Indian experience and have influenced innovation management practices in emerging economies (Zeschky et al. 2011, Bhatti 2012, Zeschky et al. 2014). The implications underlying the story of successful engineering and innovation projects in emerging economies will provide insight into the development of engineering management theories and practices in both emerging economies and developed economies.
While successful cases and projects indicate lessons to be learned, the issue of the diffusion of best practices amongst the population of innovative firms remain unknown (Quadros et al 2017, Tidd and Thuriaux-Aleman 2016). In most emerging countries, industrialization was initially based on the absorption of imported technology, with focus on building operational capabilities. The change of emerging country business firms' strategic focus from the sole operational excellence required from imitators to the cross-functional learning and creativity required from innovators is a process of transformation of their own organizational architecture: governance, strategies, partnerships and alliances, structures, decision-making processes and management routines (Quadros et al. 2017). The pace and extension of such transformation is critical to firm innovation performance and value creation and its understanding, to subsidise policies supporting the building of engineering and innovation capabilities. The World Bank study on the "Innovation Paradox" (Cirera and Maloney 2017) argues that an important obstacle to emerging countries' innovation catching up lies on their lack of managerial capabilities, which are an essential complement to investment on R&D, engineering and innovation activities.
The Special Issue aims at addressing the above-mentioned gaps, by calling papers which would bring about empirical and theoretical research focused on distinctive aspects of innovation and engineering management theories and practice in emerging country firms and institutions. This could comprise, on the one hand, elements which are rather "internal" to business firms and public institutions, such as the creation and diffusion of particular innovation and engineering management practices, or the challenge of changing culture and allowing for more ambitious innovation strategies or even the difficulties arising with the need to innovate new business models based on digital platforms. Also encouraged are papers which address elements of emerging country firms and institutions' experience with open innovation, such as the particular nature of industry-university collaboration in emerging economies, or the challenge of creating entrepreneurial universities in this context or even the challenge of governing corporative engagement with start-ups. The purpose of the Special Issue is to report on the state-of-the-art of, and emerging trends in, research and practice of innovation and engineering management in emerging economies. It provides a premier forum for researchers to present research results in all areas related to the main theme. Our goal is to foster the introduction of a coherent, cumulative body of knowledge regarding innovation and engineering management theories and practices in emerging economies.
Manuscripts will be judged on the relative merits of their contribution to the research literature, the depth and completeness of the thoughts, ideas, and the technical levels that are presented, the integration of the research with existing relevant research and other related literature, and the writing quality. We seek papers that answer these core questions: "What are the characteristics of innovation and engineering management theories and practices in emerging economies? And what implications do the experience from emerging economies have on innovation and engineering management theories and practices across both emerging economies and developed countries?"
All contributions must fit into the scope of IEEE-TEM. Suitable topics for this special issue include but are not limited to:
What are the characteristics of innovation and engineering management theories and practices in emerging economies as compared to their counterparts in developed economies?
How does engineering management theories and practices in emerging economies support their large and complex engineering projects?
How does innovation management theories and practices in emerging economies contribute to successful innovation projects and technological development?
How does the study of innovation and engineering management theories and practice in emerging economies contribute to emerging economies' technological development strategy, policy formulation, and technological development practice?
How and why has evolved the diffusion of best practices of innovation and engineering management in emerging country, innovative firms?
What are the elements of distinctiveness of emerging country firms and institutions' experience with open innovation?
Is there a particular nature of industry-university collaboration in emerging economies? What are the challenges of creating entrepreneurial universities in the context of emerging economies?
How have performed emerging economies in regard with recent innovation management paradigms such as co-creation for innovation and the meaning of digital tools for the organization and steering of the innovation process and research teams?
Important, new emerging research trends/topics within engineering management theories and practice related to emerging economies.
Each paper will be thoroughly reviewed by qualified expert reviewers.
Please prepare the manuscript according to IEEE-TEM's guidelines (http://ieee-tmc.org/tem-guidelines) and submit it to the journal's Manuscript Central site (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tem-ieee). Please clearly state in the cover letter that the submission is for this special issue.

"please visit our website www..... or leave a message after the tone ...etc."
The first thing you should do is visit your website click "tell a friend" and send an email to everyone in your address book.
Create a folder in your email client and start building a list of email addresses of customers and business contacts.
Get into the habit of collecting email addresses from customers, and send them a "Thank you email" to check it's correct.
That way you can contact them all for free informing them of new products and services, business changes etc.
Email is still the most powerful marketing tool on the web.
Every thing leaving your business should have your website printed on it.
that's every box - invoice - letter - compliment slip - estimate.
You don't have to change your stationery straight away, you can print your website when you print the letter - invoice etc, you can create an email signature.
Buy a rubber stamp with your website on they're very cheap.
Signage can be expensive but it can be very effective especially for local businesses so it's certainly worth checking out.
It goes without saying everything should point to your website, it's the one place available 24/7 from everywhere on earth, potential customers can see a little about your business and more importantly contact you easily.
This can be a bit of a minefield, there are plenty out there willing to take your money, and how expensive they are never ceases to amaze me.
Important Note: I went to a lot of trouble hiding your email address on your website from "spam bots" so don't go adding that email to directories and the like instead create a junk email somewhere and use that one. Remember you are advertising your website NOT your email address.
These are just the sort of things average facebook users like to "Share"
I'm not saying don't try it I'm saying don't expect too much from it yet. your time would in my opinion be better spent regularly updating a blog on current projects networking with linkedin and traditional marketting.
