Another uniform national register on the cards replacing 35 business registers
TurkAlert
In January 2012, the Personal Property Securities Register ('PPSR') became a unified register replacing the ASIC Register of Company Charges, the Australian Register of Ships, the Fisheries Register, state and territory bills of sale registers and registers of encumbered vehicles. Seven years on, the Commonwealth Registers Bill 2019 along with four related Bills have been introduced into the House of Representatives as part of the National Business Simplification Initiative, a collaboration between the federal, state and territory governments aimed at helping businesses grow by cutting red tape. The proposed new legislative package will bring about two major changes, the creation of a new uniform national register and the introduction of the DIN – Director Identification Number.
The Commonwealth Registers Bill 2019 and four related Bills, Treasury Laws Amendment (Registries Modernisation And Other Measures) Bill 2019, Business Names Registration (Fees) Amendment (Registries Modernisation) Bill 2019, Corporations (Fees) Amendment (Registries Modernisation) Bill 2019 and National Consumer Credit Protection (Fees) Amendment (Registries Modernisation) Bill 2019 form a legislative package that is intended to introduce Acts which will, amongst other things, create a new uniform Commonwealth business register and introduce the director identification number (DIN).
A new national business register
The proposed new Commonwealth business register will in its first phase replace 34 existing business registers currently administered by ASIC as well as the Australian Business Register. Some of the registers to be replaced include the ACN Register, Business Names Register, Register of liquidators, Register of financial services licensees, Register of disqualified company directors and other officers.¹ Registers maintained by the Australian Financial Security Authority (AFSA) which include the PPSR and Bankruptcy Register are not part of the new regime.
The objective of this new register is to facilitate a modern government registry regime that is flexible, technology neutral and governance neutral and that facilitates timely and efficient access to information (including, where appropriate, on a real time basis) by regulators and other users of the information.² Additional registers may be merged into the proposed new national register by further legislative enactment.
The Treasury Laws Amendment (Registries Modernisation and Other Measures) Bill 2019 will amend the Corporations Act 2001 and the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006 ('CATSI Act') to impose a director identification number (DIN) requirement.
Introduction of the DIN is aimed at curbing phoenix activities. Under the new regime, a person appointed as a director of a body corporate registered under the Corporations Act or the CATSI Act must apply for a DIN before they are appointed a director unless the period is extended by the regulations or unless they are provided an exemption or extension by the registrar.³ Civil and criminal penalties apply for failure to comply with this requirement. A DIN is only issued if it is satisfied that the director's identity has been established.⁴
Civil and criminal penalties also apply to anyone who tries to undermine the new DIN requirement. The examples given by the Explanatory Memorandum are;
deliberately providing false identity information in an application for a DIN (criminal penalty);
intentionally providing a false DIN to a Government body or relevant body corporate (criminal penalty); or
intentionally applying for multiple DINs (criminal penalty).⁵
Transitional provisions will apply to directors appointed prior to the start of the new regime. There will be a period for those directors to apply for a DIN. In addition, during the first 12 months of the operation of the new requirement, directors appointed during that period will have up to 28 days of appointment to apply for a DIN.⁶
According to the Explanatory Memorandum, the DIN will require all directors to confirm their identity and it will be a unique identifier for each person who consents to being a director. The person will keep that unique identifier permanently, even if they cease to be a director. It is not intended that a person's DIN will ever be re-issued to someone else or that one person will ever be issued with more than one DIN (except in limited circumstances such as when a record is corrupted).⁷
The intended legislative package will bring about major changes to existing business registers and the provision of information to be provided by individual directors. Information will become more easily accessible and transparent. The general public would benefit by being more informed about businesses they deal with and the individual controlling minds of companies. The DIN will enable directors to be traced across companies, although presently this may be done to an extent by way of ASIC's personal name extract. However, the information provided by ASIC's personal name extract is limited by the lack of positive identification of the directors making it difficult to confirm whether two directors are the same individuals.
The Senate Economics Legislation Committee is in favour of passing the Bills. It may be sometime before the new regimes become law and are implemented. Once implemented, teething problems are expected, for example information may be incorrectly entered into the registers leading to ineffective searches or individual directors failing to apply for a DIN.

Cincy Food Tours (Findlay Market) – Go There. Try That.
As my tagline states, I prefer experiences over things. I'd always pick spending time with someone, going on an adventure, or trying something new rather than getting stuff. Luckily, I have friends who dig my love of adventure. My dear friend Korie, for her birthday, received one of those experiences (as she pretty much always does). This year, I got us tickets for a Cincinnati Food Tour at Findlay Market. I love being a tourist in my own city!!
Cincinnati Food Tours offer several local walking tours in Over-the-Rhine, Walnut Hills, Downtown, and Findlay Market. One of the newest tours features a ride on the Streetcar. (Guys! I haven't ridden it yet!) Tours range from $20.00 to $50.00 and most of that money goes to the local chefs and restaurants highlighted on the tour. Because my friend and I love food, love the city of Cincinnati, and love history, I had a hard time picking which tour we should take. Basically, each one sounds amazing! Barb, the founder of Cincinnati Food Tours, suggested we begin with the Findlay Market tour. Good choice.
During the tour, I learned that Findlay Market is the oldest continuously running outdoor market in Ohio. I had no idea! The market still contains a few original architectural details such as the unique cast and wrought iron frame. Findlay Market, full of fresh fruit and produce, local butchers, restaurants, and locally made wares, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. To learn more, and you should, you'll have to take the tour! (wink wink) It's worth it!
Black rice salad from Fresh Table.
During the tour, we were able to taste food from various vendors and to talk to the faces behind that great food. We tried black bean salad (Fresh Table), Belgian waffles (Taste of Belgium), walnut date cookies (Dean's), falafel sandwiches (Dean's), pierogies (Babushka's), and specialty tea (Churchill's). Every single thing was delicious. What's even better is that many of those samples are not what I would order on my own. I don't like dates and I don't like nuts. I just don't. But I'm a "when in Rome kind of girl" and these date cookies were freaking phenomenal. No joke. Plus, no two tours are the same because the "menu" changes as different vendors are highlighted. Score!
Delicious Belgian Waffle from Taste of Belgium.
Many of the restaurants and vendors stationed at Findlay Market were born of necessity and nostalgia. For example, Dean, the owner of Dean's Mediterranean Imports, grew up in Lebanon and wanted to bring the delicious foods and spices of his childhood to Cincinnati. The food is authentic. Come and shop . . . come and eat. Findlay has indoor and outdoor seating.
Marking historic moments in the Market's history.
Our tour ended with a bang. I'm tellin' ya, something crazy happens to us wherever we go! At our last stop, taste testing at Market Wines, we met the lovely lady in the picture below. Korie's face (in the middle) captures it perfectly. Let's just say our new friend was definitely enjoying the merchandise. We ended this birthday experience with full bellies, a new appreciation of our city, and most importantly, lots of laughs. Not too shabby.
I highly recommend a Cincinnati Food Tour; this is the perfect birthday gift, shower activity, date night, or friend outing. I think my next tour will be Wandering Walnut Hills (sooo many new restaurants there)!
GO THERE (Cincinnati Food Tours)! TRY THAT ( Taste the World at Findlay Market)!
Soooooooo much fun!!!!! And I'm so glad you included the last pic! Ha!
It's good to know about this, Mindy. Nice Blog!! Very attractive and informative.

James Patterson is one of today's most prolific crimes writers, and he has some of the best known crime series including the Alex Cross novels, and the novels featuring Detective Michael Bennett.
Toys is an interesting read, although it is quite a departure from the normal Patterson fare with a very strong science fiction bent. Told in short, punchy chapters (the trademark of the Patterson novel) Toys takes you into the future, a world where Elites have taken control of the planet. Elites are bioengineered people created in a lab rather than being born, who spend two years "gestating" so they can be enhanced with implants that make them faster, stronger, and more intelligent than the humans who created them. Their world is marked with wealth and prilege, and the wide variety of high tech toys that fill their world - exotci animals that are genetically tamed, android dolls that act and talk like humans, and simulators so real it is a shock to the system to leave them behind.
Hays Baker is one of the Elite, a member of the organisation that keeps an eye on the humans and puts them in their place when they step out of line. He and his wife Lizbeth are amongst the favoured few who help keep the stinking tide of Skunks at bay, he has killed humans in the past and sees nothing wrong with killing more if it keeps the Elites safe. But one day the bubble of his perfect world bursts and Hays finds out that nothing is as it seems - his life, his wife, his past, himself. He is on the run, with nowhere to run to, and nowhere to hide.
This was an enjoyable read, but it may not appeal to all Patterson fans because it is set in the future with all sorts of gizmos and gadgets - rather than set in the world that we all know. It was still an enjoyable read packed with the trademark action, adventure, twists and turns that make Patterson novels so great.

Q: Power BI and Visual studio requiring 2 different versions of Microsoft Access Database Engine I've created an app in Visual Studio that utilities the 32 bit version of Microsoft Access Database Engine to store data in an Access database. I've been collecting data for a while now and downloaded Power BI to create some interesting visualisations.
In order to connect my database to Power BI, I need to have the 64 bit version of Microsoft Access Database Engine. I uninstalled the 32 bit version but obviously have the opposite problem now.
From what I've read it doesn't look like there's an easy answer to this, has anyone else dealt with this problem?
Thanks for reading.

now we realise he is a real blessing , he has taught us many things ,old and young alike.
The evil of the abortion/eugenics industry is that people with Downs are being eradicated.
So much Hypocrisy , when diversity is meant to be celebrated but clearly not if one is Downs.


A few weekends ago, five of the parish team went on a conference called 'Leading your Church into Growth' or 'LyCiG' for short. The conference was aimed at parishes who hope to see growth in their churches and want to explore ways of enabling people to encounter God.
Firstly, it's important to say that growth is not just about the number of people in the congregation. Naturally, we would love to have more people with us each Sunday, and everyone is always welcome, but growth is more than numbers. We also want to encourage our churches to grow in spirit, in faith, in hope and in love. We want to share God's love with the people we meet and hope to make church accessible and known to all as a place of peace, where everyone is welcome.
It's not a secret that the number of Christians in our country is decreasing. Statistics show that we are in decline. This isn't a bad thing, the Church often works at its best when we are low in number. A struggle also helps us to not take our faith for granted. However, we do need to address this decline - and soon. If our congregations continue to decrease we will not have churches to visit, to worship in or to get married in. Most importantly, there will not be enough people to share God's love and the Christian story may become an unfamiliar one.
We owe it to God and to one another to encourage growth in our churches.
Of course this is a long journey and some of these things may take time but we hope that in the future we will see growth in many different ways. It's only when we take time to share God's love that we can see a difference. Building God's Kingdom takes time and nurture, but we have the passion and commitment to make it work. This blog aims to share our story of growth with you as we journey!


Blue Chip Stock is a stock of a Well – Established and financially sound company which has a national reputation and the ability to operate profitably in good and bad times. A blue chip stock is generally a market leader or one of the top three companies in the sector with its market capitalization running into thousands of crores. The name blue chip is derived from poker, where blue chips are the most expensive ones.
These stocks are typically known for paying dividends to their shareholders consistently. They have a consistent record of growth and give stable, inflation beating returns to the shareholders for their investments. A blue chip stock is generally a component of the benchmark indexes like SENSEX and NIFTY. Some of the blue chip stocks Infosys, TCS, Reliance, ONGC, ITC, HDFC, SBI and Coal India.
The criteria for what qualifies as a blue chip stock is relative and subjective. A market leader could be a large – cap company or a mid – cap company. There is no particular criteria which qualifies a company to be a blue chip one.
Generally, there is a perception that investment in blue chip stocks is a safe investment as the company has survived major challenges and market cycles but this is certainly not the case. There have been blue – chip companies which have gone bankrupt and investors having lost lakhs of rupees. The best example we can think of is Satyam Computers in which all the investor wealth was eroded in a whisker. Therefore, a lot of time and effort needs to be spend by investors in figuring if a stock is actually a blue chip or not.
We at SAMCO have rated all of the stocks listed on NSE. The Stocks are rated AAA, AA, A, BBB, BB, B, CCC and Penny Stock depending on various criteria and conducting extensive research. We have analyzed the reported financial position of companies and scanned them objectively through the guiding torch of history's greatest legendary investors by rating the stocks on 25 all encompassing vital parameters, which effectively measure the underlying efficiency of business, growth potential, sustainability of earnings, constructive or destructive power of Leverage, ability to generate free cash flow, transparency among-st several others. SAMCO Stock Ratings rates the blue chip stocks as AAA and AA.
Blue chip stocks should form a larger chunk of your portfolio but not all your money should be put in blue chip stocks. The portfolio has to be well diversified with fast growing mid – cap and small – cap companies also being part of it. The diversification can be done based on the risk tolerance of an individual investor.
While Blue chips are considered relatively safe in nature due to their underlying business fundamentals, they are relatively more expensive in nature as well. It's important to make sure that an investor doesn't blindly buy into these blue chips without understanding the valuations of the business and ensure that there is adequate margin of safety while buying these businesses. The returns of an investor are inversely related to their valuations – Higher the valuations paid for these blue chips, lower will be the returns and vice versa.
On SAMCO Stock Rating page, click on Show filter and in Stock Rating select AA and AAA to access blue chip stocks.

When we talk about Argentina, it's mandatory to mention the quality of its wines. These places not only provide high-quality wine, they also allow you to live unforgettable experiences, admiring the architecture, and tasting gastronomy.
Zuccardi Valle de Uco
Inaugurated in 2016, Zuccardi Valle de Uco blends in wonderfully with the landscape in which the mountains stand out. Chosen in 2019 and 2020 as the best winery in the world. The Zuccardi family rises to the top of the "The World's Best Vineyards" category.
The building was built from materials such as iron, sand, and stone, with a metal dome that reflects sunlight, respecting the principles of sustainability.
The experience is flourished by a journey through the vineyards, the different spaces, and the 'Piedra Infinita' restaurant. There they offer up to a maximum of 50 diners, a 4-course menu made with regional products, paired with Zuccardi wines, and with unparalleled views of the mountains.
Founded by Nicola Catena, an Italian immigrant who arrived in Argentina in the late nineteenth century, planting his first vineyard in 1902. Later, in the 1960s, the winery was still governed by ancient Italian traditions, until his grandchildren decided to be inspired by the customs of Napa Valley and incorporate the Californian-French technique.
They planted Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and cloned Malbec at a higher altitude. The location and altitude give them an excellent natural acidity, structure, and color that guarantee the aging potential, smoothness, and intensity that defines Malbecs.
The stepped pyramid with Mayan style that dominates the winery located in Agrelo, Mendoza, stands out, where wine tourism activities are carried out such as an "immersion" in the history of Malbec, or a visit to the Adrianna vineyard - "The grand cru of South America" - in Valle de Uco.
The winery offers three tours, a visit to "La Pirámide", the "Malbec Renaissance Tour" and "Adrianna Vineyard Grand Cru". Each of them is carried out in small groups, so it is advisable to reserve the date and time in advance.
Bodega Catena Zapata, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza.
Salentein offers tourists a world-class wine tourism experience that combines terroir wines from the Uco Valley, local gastronomy, impressive nature, architecture, and a private art collection unique in Mendoza. Highlighting its 5-star inn and its Killka cultural center, with Argentine and Dutch works of art.
The quality of its wines is determined by stainless steel tanks aged in French oak vats. Structured, elegant, with an intense flavor and color. Not only its wines deserve to be accentuated, but also sparkling wines, another of the registered brands of Bodegas Salentein.
The design of La Cava is incredible, with a piano inside and the compass rose occupying a large part of it, with its points oriented towards each cardinal, to represent its relationship with the rest of the world. This magnificent scene is presented nine meters underground and is shown on the tour, where the Art Gallery is also accessed.
Bodegas Trapiche
Haute cuisine proposal with an extensive history of 130 years in the industry, endows with an Italian mark, inspired by the Renaissance, in the province of Godoy Cruz. Pioneer in the introduction of French vines, varietal wines, importation of oak barrels, and hiring of international consultants.
The exploratory and innovative spirit has given its wines interesting colors and varied perfumes, from red fruits to jams, passing through spicy notes. Elegant and powerful on the palate, they are positioned at the height of internationally renowned titles. The winery is complemented by a gastronomic experience by the renowned Chef Lucas Bustos, with products originating from his own garden and paired with the most exclusive wines.
Linea de vinos "Perfiles", Trapiche.
It is the first winery in the province of Neuquén. The vineyards are located in San Patricio del Chañar, 55 kilometers from the city of Neuquén, where agro-ecological conditions are ideal for growing grapes. In this Patagonian environment, naturally healthy with sandy and stony soils, 870 hectares of vineyards grow.
The distribution consists of 85% red varieties, these being robust and expressive, and 15% white, ethereal and aromatic, among which the following stand out: Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Tannat, Cabernet Franc and Syrah among the first, and Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Semillon and Viognier among the last.
Its wine has a defined, balanced style between classism and modernity. Each one of them contains the spirit and essence of the Patagonian land.

Wolves suffer from a variety of injuries and diseases. From common diseases like mange to parasites like ticks and fleas. They also suffer injuries in the wild.
Wolves can get injuries from large prey animals that defend themselves, when the pack attacks a large moose or bison they can receive injuries from kicks and if the prey had antlers or horns it can cause a lot of damage. Wolves can be trampled under the hooves, Artist George Catlin reported an 1844 attack on a buffalo by a pack of wolves in which two of the wolves had been crushed to death under the hooves of the animal.
Man also causes injuries to wolves, leg-hold traps, illegal hunting, wolves being hit by cars (rare), poisoning (one wolf was known to die from drinking from a antifreeze spill on the road).
Other wolf injuries are caused by falls from rock ledges, drowning in swift rivers, fights with other wolves (territory disputes or near mating season), attacks by bears, infections from porcupine quills. In Denali National park in Alaska two wolves were killed in an avalanche.
Wolves are susceptible to more than one hundred diseases and parasites, including roundworm, tape worm, flatworm, mange, mites, ticks, fleas, distemper, cataracts, oral papillomatosis, tularemia, bovine tuberculosis, arthritis, cancer, rickets, pnumonia, Lyme disease, and many other ailments.
Mange is caused by tiny mites that attach themselves to a wolfs fur or skin, In Sarcoptic mange, intense itching is caused by the female mites' burrowing under the skin to lay eggs. In demodectic mange, the mites live in the pores of the skin and cause little or no itching. The symptoms of mange include skin lesions, crusting, and fur loss. Wolves that suffer mange in the winter are in danger of freezing to death.
Canine distemper is a very contagious disease caused by a microscopic virus. The disease is often centers on the skin, eye membranes, and intestinal tract, and occasionally the brain. Symptoms include fever, loss of appetite, and a discharge from the eyes and nose. Diarrhea and dehydration may follow, in the final stages seizures may occur.

Buller's mayor is bullish about the district's economic prospects, even though a cement factory near Westport looks set to close.
The factory's owner, Holcim, is seeking approval from its board to build a new plant at Oamaru, and if it gets the go-ahead, construction could begin later this year. The company is seeking tenders for the building work.
Holcim's capital projects manager for Holcim, Ken Cowie, says the Westport factory will remain open for about three years while the new plant is built.
Buller mayor Pat McManus says however that the district's coal industry should fill the gap in the economy.
"The economy in the Buller district is very strong at the moment in terms of the coal expansion going on here," Mr McManus says, "so hopefully given another three or four years, by the time they wind down the plant in Westport we'll be in a better position to handle that loss."
