Monks Orchard Co-op staff 'held up at knife-point' in second burglary since August
Residents are concerned that the company is not doing enough to protect its staff members from violence
Police are investigating the store's second robbery in the last few months
The Co-op store on Orchard Way was reportedly burgled by an armed criminal for the second time since August.
Police are investigating after two men stole cash and cigarettes from the store at around 6.45am on Monday (October 22).
One of the suspects is said to have "threatened staff with a knife" while he demanded money, although no injuries were reported.
This event occurred less than two months after a man in a balaclava stole from the same store with what is believed to be a gun on August 7.
The Co-operative store on Orchard Way
One resident said: "It's a nice, quiet, residential, leafy kind of street, which unfortunately means it's nice and quiet for thieves looking to steal from the place.
"A lot of residents are a little bit ticked off that Co-op does not seem to be putting that much effort into looking after their staff, which is a real shame.
"After the crime a couple months ago, they stuck a security guard in there but only for a couple of weeks and the two members of staff who were involved actually left the job because they didn't want to put themselves through that again.
"The guy who was on the till at the time of this robbery is quite elderly and it's just not fair on the staff really. Co-op need to re-jig the store to make it less easy to burgle."

Responding to concerns about the safety of their staff, a spokeswoman from the Southern Co-operative said the company had been making "significant investments" into safety.
She said: "Our colleagues' safety is incredibly important to us and, although we do not usually comment on security arrangements, we we can state that we have been making significant investments in this area, examples of which are store-wide CCTV and internal radio communications to keep staff linked up at all times.
"We are also working closely with local police forces, other retail businesses, organisations and local communities to try and combat the causes of such incidents, but unfortunately crime is still an issue which affects retailers and communities across the country.
"We would urge anyone with information relating to this incident to come forward and speak to the police."
A Met Police spokeswoman said: "Police in Croydon are investigating an attempted aggravated burglary at a commercial premises on Orchard Way.

So what do you get in this 4 star hotel near the beach?.
While the hotel is set back a little way from the beach you still have lovely ocean and sunrise views.
We did look at the dining options at the hotel however they are way too over priced for what you get. However the hotel is conveniently located so you wouldn't even think of dining at the hotel.
For breakfast we just crossed the road to a lovely little takeaway that does a great Aussie style breakfast. Dinner time we were out anyway enjoying the many great dining options around the hotel or at nearby Broadbeach.
About half a block from the action means that the hotel location is convenient for the beach, bars, restaurants and public transport.
We mostly used the two swimming pools. One is at the front and the other at the back of the hotel. So at least always has sun and the other shade, depending on your preference. Also it means one will be sheltered from the wind.
The gym looked okay, though we didn't try it. My friend was thinking of taking advantage of the spa but as there were many cheaper options in the area she went to one of those instead.
Standard 4 star rooms, clean, well appointed. Pity they don't have balconies like many of the others hotels in the area.
When we arrived my impression of the lobby was a cheap poorly designed hotel. However as we explored we could see the logic of the design. Instead of trying to impress with opulence they have instead created little private spaces which makes the experience more intimate. This is reflected throughout the hotel. Whether you are swimming in the pool or dining, you don't feel like you are in the middle of big hotel.
I liked this hotel and was very happy staying there. I think you might be able to find similar rooms and location for a cheaper price though. If I were to go back I would be checking the price of nearby hotels against this one, though unless I get great deal I would stay at the Watermark again.

Slovenia to ban new fossil-fuel cars from 2030, reduce debt
By Marja Novak
LJUBLJANA, Oct 12 (Reuters) - Slovenia will ban the registration of new cars running on petrol or diesel fuel from 2030, the government said on Thursday.
It also issued a draft development strategy under which the country plans to cut public debt to 60 percent of GDP, the maximum level allowed for European Union members, by 2030.
"New registration (from 2030) will only be possible for cars with CO2 emissions of less than 50 grams per kilometer," a government statement said, adding that only electric and plug-in hybrid cars fulfill such criteria at present.
It said that from 2025 new registrations will only be possible for cars that emit less than 100 grams of CO2 per kilometer, which should enable Slovenia to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 9 percent from 2020 to 2030.
The government of the small southeast European country said it aimed for at least 17 percent of personal cars in 2030 to be electric and plug-in hybrid models. At present they are less than less than 0.1 percent of the total.
The planned ban on petrol and diesel cars follows similar moves by Britain in France targeted to take effect by 2040. The French capital Paris said earlier on Thursday it would ban such cars in the city by 2030.
According to the Slovenian government's draft strategy, the country should in 2030 reach the EU average GDP per capita in purchasing power, up from 83 percent of that level last year.
Slovenia's public debt has risen sharply over the past years as the country only narrowly avoided an international bailout for its banks in 2013. Last year it fell for the first time in eight years and the government plans to reduce it to below 77 percent of GDP this year.

Opportunism

OMA (1975), Madelon Vriesendorp (1945–) and Rem Koolhaas (1944–), Welfare Palace Hotel, Sunken Medusa Raft, 1975–1976. Gouache and acrylic on paper, 780 × 1140 mm. DMC 3000.1.
While declaring explicitly architectural intentions (especially in the beginning), the enthusiastic appropriation of technologies and techniques peripheral to architecture has been a constant theme in OMA's work. In 1976, Elia Zenghelis commented on the role of the telephone in their design process. [1] The photocopier and commercial printing would open up new textural possibilities in the 1980s. [2] The unpredictable capabilities of international hotel fax machines would impact on the office's internal drawing conventions until at least the mid-2000s. Magazines, websites, Instagram (etc.) have all had their moment. The initial appropriation of painting, however, played a slightly different role. Although, like other media adopted by the office over the years, it contributed to both design process and representation, it also served a third important purpose: commodity.
In 1978, OMA was the subject of an exhibition at the Guggenheim in New York (a mere three years after the office's 'official' founding). This event was reputedly as much an exhibition of paintings about architecture as it was about the architecture in the paintings. [3] Many of the paintings on show were sold. One could view this as opportunistic, yet the reality is much more pragmatic. The office was founded by two architects and two painters making speculative projects: competitions and self-initiated work. Painting is quicker than building and generates a saleable, reproducible 'bi-product' (and often parallel product) of the design process. Since most built projects are likely to take a minimum of five years, and the success of any competition entry is uncertain, paintings were able at once to contribute to the office's process and output, and offer a form of sustenance in lieu of fee-earning projects.
Stedelijk and Guggenheim Museum exhibition labels remain on the back of the frame at its current home in Shatwell.
This particular painting, by Madelon Vriesendorp and Rem Koolhaas – shown at the Guggenheim exhibition as well as at Amsterdam's Stedelijk Museum – was sold to Luce van Rooy in Amsterdam in the late 1970s before finding its way to Somerset. Apparently, van Rooy was inspired to set up a gallery of architectural drawings during a meeting with Koolhaas in New York. She then 'scraped together the money necessary to buy the painting from Rem'. [4]
What better way to sustain an office than stimulating a market for its assets?

We all need to be careful when taking medications, but one group is especially at risk: the elderly. Many elderly people take multiple medications at various times of the day, and they may have memory or vision problems. This can lead to dangerous drug interactions, missed doses, or incorrect doses.
Ask the pharmacist for your medicine labels to be printed in larger type.
If one type of child-resistant closure is difficult to use, ask for a different kind (especially if there are young children around).
Make sure you're taking the medicine you intended; turn on the lights and double-check the label, especially when you're sleepy or sick. Avoid dosage errors by using dosage containers indicating day of week and/or time of day; don't leave it to memory.
If you're taking two or more medications (prescription or over-the-counter), be sure to check with your doctor or pharmacist to avoid unexpected drug interactions.
Consider a dedicated medicine storage area, even if there are no kids in the house.

Four Cross (früher auch: Bikercross oder auch Mountain Cross) nennt sich eine Renndisziplin des Mountainbikesports auf meist zwischen 150 und 600 Meter langen Rennstrecken. Bei dem Rennen nehmen in der Regel vier Fahrer gleichzeitig in einem Lauf teil. Deshalb etablierte die Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) den heute gängigen Begriff Fourcross, als sie ihren World Cup vom Dual Eliminator-Modus auf vier Fahrer aufstockte. Bikercross als Überbegriff umfasst aber auch alle Rennen mit abweichenden Starterzahlen.

Ausgetragen wird der Wettkampf im K.-o.-System. Bei vier Startern erreichen jeweils die beiden Schnellsten (sonst die schnellere Hälfte der Teilnehmer) im Ziel die nächste Runde. Die Startgruppen werden nach einer Qualifikation (Zeitfahren oder Punkteläufe) in einem festgelegten Schema besetzt.

Bikercross wurde ursprünglich aus dem BMX-Racing und dem Dual Slalom abgeleitet. Zu den elementaren Hindernissen des Bikercross zählen Sprünge, überhöhte und flache Kurven, "Waschbretter", Wellen und Kompressionen. Im Gegensatz zu BMX-Strecken können aber auch Steinfelder, hängende Kurven, treppenartige Hindernisse, Waldpassagen mit Wurzeln, Wallrides oder andere eher MTB-artige Hindernisse integriert werden und ein wesentlich gröberer oder lockerer Untergrund ist normal.

Streckenverlauf
Eine Biker- oder Fourcross-Strecke ist meist abschüssig und weist Anliegerkurven und Sprünge auf. Die Fahrer starten aus dem Startgatter auf einer Erhebung, die in flachen Gebieten durch einen Starthügel realisiert wird. Eine Strecke beinhaltet mehrere, im Vergleich zum Dirtjump flache Sprünge, die oft auch "geschluckt" werden können. Es gibt verschiedene Arten von Sprüngen wie den Table, Double, Stepup und Stepdown, die sich in ihrer Länge und Höhe je nach Streckenprofil stark unterscheiden können. Die ersten Kurven sind fast immer außen erhöht (Steilkurven), sodass der Vorteil der Innenbahn etwas egalisiert wird und man die Strecke mit höherer Geschwindigkeit durchfahren kann. 180°-Kurven bieten sich an, um durch unterschiedliche Linienwahl (Low-High bzw. High-Low – von oben/außen nach innen ziehend oder von innen nach außen/oben "schiebend") Überholmanöver wahrscheinlicher werden zulassen.

Start
Ein wesentlicher Teil des Rennens und oft bereits vorentscheidend ist der Start. Deshalb trainieren Sportler diesen vorrangig und schulen die entsprechenden Abläufe, ihre Spurtstärke und Reaktionsfähigkeit. Gestartet wird mit einem Startgatter, das nach vorn fallend allen Startern zugleich den Weg freigibt. An hochwertigen Anlagen wird der Start durch eine Ampelanzeige und eine elektronische Sprachmitteilung begleitet, gesteuert von einer sogenannten Voicebox. Das Gatter wird durch eine Pneumatik schnellstmöglich umgelegt. Selbstfallende Gatter sind aber auch noch sehr verbreitet. Sie haben den Nachteil, das sie langsamer fallen als die Fahrer die Vorderräder beschleunigen können, was zu Stürzen führen kann. Selbstfallende Gatter werden durch mechanische Sperrhebel oder mit Elektromagneten gehalten. Die Gestaltung der Startgerade sollte so sein, dass aus allen Bahnen ähnliche Fahrzeiten durch die erste Kurve möglich sind und die Fahrer diese auch nebeneinander ohne hartes Abbremsen passieren können. Da es in der Praxis jedoch fast immer einen Vorteil für eine Bahn gibt, meist die in Bezug zur ersten Kurve innenliegende, erhält der jeweils bessere Qualifikant das Wahlrecht für den Startplatz.

Sportgerät
In der Regel wird mit Hardtails gefahren. Lediglich auf sehr ruppigen, steilen und schnellen Strecken wurden in der Vergangenheit vollgefederte Räder bevorzugt. Die Geometrie eines Bikercross-Bikes ist vor allem auf Geschwindigkeit ausgelegt, weniger auf Wendigkeit. Es muss laufruhig sein, deshalb ist der Radstand etwas länger und der Lenkwinkel flacher (unter 70°) als bei Dirtbikes.

Bei den Anbauteilen wird vor allem auf das Gewicht geachtet, denn ein leichtes Rad lässt sich leichter beschleunigen. Jedoch brauchen sie auch die nötige Stabilität, um bei Stürzen oder unsauberen Landungen nicht gleich zu Bruch zu gehen. Bei manchen Komponenten wie Sattel und Schaltung kommen häufig auch Produkte aus dem Rennrad- bzw. Cross-Country-Bereich zum Einsatz.

Die Federgabel wird meist recht straff abgestimmt und hat für viele Fahrer eher Bedeutung als "Notfallfederung" für unsaubere Landungen. Das trifft vor allem zu, wenn der Kurs eher einer BMX-Bahn entspricht als einer typischen Mountainbikestrecke. Der Federweg liegt zwischen 80 mm und 140 mm. Für einige Strecken werden auch gerne Full Suspension Bikes (Fullys) verwendet, insbesondere wenn höheres Tempo möglich ist und Grip in hängenden Kurven gefragt ist.

Die Reifen sind mit maximal 2,3 Zoll eher schmal. Dadurch werden unnötige Reibung und übermäßiges Gewicht vermieden. Das Profil der Reifen ist von der Strecke abhängig. Auf festen und trockenen Böden werden eher spezielle 4-Cross-Reifen verwendet, auf losen und nassen Böden kommen auch mal eher grobstollige Downhill-Reifen mit 2.4 bis 2.5 Zoll zum Einsatz.

Begriff und Variationen
Der Begriff 4 Cross wurde vom Welt-Radsport-Verband UCI eingeführt, obwohl das Wort Bikercross (vgl. Boarder Cross) bereits verbreitet war. Damit konnte sich der UCI für seine World-Cup-Serie die vollen Namensrechte sichern. Je nach Fahreranzahl spricht man vom Four Cross (auch 4 Cross) oder Dual Eliminator, selten vom 6 Cross. In den USA gibt es den Begriff Mountaincross, in England den Begriff Bicycle Supercross (BSX). Zum Überbegriff Bikercross zählt auch das Format Dual Slalom, bei dem die Fahrer allerdings auf getrennten, parallel geführten Bahnen fahren. 2002 wurde Dual Slalom im Mountainbike-Weltcup und bei Mountainbike-Weltmeisterschaften durch Four Cross abgelöst. Am 22. September 2011 gab die UCI bekannt, dass Four Cross künftig nicht mehr zum Weltcup zählen wird. Als Grund wurden die hohen Aufbaukosten und der negative Einfluss auf die Umwelt einer Four Cross-Strecke genannt.

Caius Boat Club (CBC; Caius pronounced keys) is the boat club for members of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge.
The club has rowed on the River Cam since 1827, and like the other college boat clubs its aim is to gain and hold the headship of the Lent Bumps and May Bumps, now held in eight-oared boats, separately for men and women.

The club had a golden era from 1998 to 2007, finding itself in the top echelons of college rowing on both the men's and women's sides. From the May Bumps 1998 until the May Bumps 2007 Caius took 19 headships, 15 of these by the men. In 2000 they became the first college to take a double headship on both the men's and women's side in the May Bumps. In the 2019 Lent Bumps, CBC regained men's headship, after having lost it in 2017.

History

From its inception in 1827 as "Caius Wherry Club" the club has been active on the river, and became properly established by the construction of its own boat house. The Club saw some prominence in its early years, holding the headship in 1840, 1841 and 1844 (when only a singular bumps order existed, and there were no women at the university), but this was followed by a long drought. In 1987 The Men regained the Mays Headship but lost it the following year.

Recent times
During the golden era from 1998 to 2007, Caius took 5 consecutive Lent Headships (19 days at the top) and so claim to have earned the right to erect a clock tower on their boathouse, a popular myth on the River Cam, that may be made reality when the plans for the college's new boathouse are approved.

After another brief period in the doldrums, the Men's crew of 2010/2011 achieved the unlikely feat of remaining unbeaten on the river Cam in eights for an entire year. This run saw them bump up 4 times to the headship of the Lent Bumps (the first time this had been achieved in either bumps since 1962, and in the Lents since before WW2) and up 2 times to the headship of the May Bumps. They also represented the Cambridge Colleges against Christ Church, Oxford in a collegiate varsity race at the Henley Boat Races, becoming the only Cambridge men's crew to be successful against their dark blue opponents that year. The men's crew continue to be successful, retaining both the Lents and Mays Headship in 2012 and maintained their winning streak in side by side racing by beating Pembroke College, Oxford at the Henley Boat Races.

During the May bumps of 1998, the top 3 men's crews and the top 3 women's crews all secured the awarding of Blades by bumping up on each of the 4 days with the men's 1st VIII finishing Head of the River.  This 'clean sweep' of the top 6 boats being awarded their "Blades" has not happened previously, or since.

The men's first boat lost the Mays headship in 2016 to Maggie, and the Lents in 2017, also to Maggie. The women's first boat is currently second in Mays and thirteenth in Lents.

Caius Boat Club has a strong tradition of encouraging its athletes to trial for the university boat club CUBC (and formerly CULRC and CUWBC). In 2014 there were Caians in both the men and women's Blue Boat, Goldie, the CUWBC Lightweight boat and the men's lightweight spare pair.

Notable alumni

 Josh West, Olympic silver medalist
 Alison Mowbray, Olympic silver medalist
 Melissa Wilson, Current GB rower
 Matt Francis, Current CUBC rower

Alumni club
There exists a club for members who have left the college called Gonville Boat Club. Although GBC is primarily a recreational club, it occasionally enters regattas and sometimes races the current CBC 1st men's VIII. In 2008 a GBC crew took to the water with a total of 28 Cambridge headships between them.

According to the proposal, Ahlstrom shareholders will receive one Munksjö share for each 26 shares held in Ahlstrom and a cash dividend of EUR 0.09 per share. The aggregate maximum amount of the total dividend is EUR 14.0 million, or EUR 0.30 per share.
Outlook for 2014
Net sales are expected to be EUR 930-1,090 million. The operating profit margin excluding non-recurring items is expected to be 2-5% of net sales.
Jan Lång, President & CEO
"Improving our financial performance is our highest priority this year. I am confident that our enhanced product offering, in combination with our rightsizing program will improve our results in 2014 and beyond. We are well on track to achieve our long-term target of 20% of net sales from new products, which will enhance our product mix and margins. "
"We were encouraged by the continued growth in net sales at constant currency rates, although our operating profit remained unsatisfactory in the review period. Following the demerger of Label and Processing and the earlier divestment of Home and Personal, our cost structure is too heavy. We have identified additional cost saving opportunities and have expanded the previously announced rightsizing program from the EUR 35 million target to EUR 50 million."
"Towards the end of last year and at the beginning of this year, we completed a number of transactions related to the transformation of the company. Now that our business portfolio has been restructured, we can concentrate our efforts on profitability and growth."

Discontinued operations
Combination of the Label and Processing business and Munksjö AB
On May 24, 2013, Ahlstrom completed the first phase (LP Europe demerger) of the combination of its Label and Processing business in Europe and Munksjö AB. The combination created a new global leader in high-quality specialty papers. The second phase of the transaction, the demerger of Coated Specialties in Brazil, was completed on November 29, 2013.
On December 31, 2013 Ahlstrom completed the divestment of its pre-impregnated décor papers and abrasive paper backings businesses to Perusa, a German-based private equity group. The divestment was made to comply with the commitments made to the European Commission and to the Brazilian competition authority CADE as disclosed in May 2013.
Result from discontinued operations
The operative result for the European operation of the Label and Processing business has been included until May 27, 2013 and the operative result from Coated Specialties until December 2, 2013. The Brazilian operation of the former Home and Personal business area and pre-impregnated décor papers and abrasive paper backings businesses were included throughout the review period. All operative figures exclude depreciation. The sale of the Brazilian operation of the former Home and Personal business area to Suominen Corporation is expected to be completed in February 2014.
In October-December 2013, the profit from discontinued operations for the period was EUR 20.6 million (EUR 7.5 million), including a demerger effect of approximately EUR 23.9.
In January-December 2013, the profit from discontinued operations for the period was EUR 75.9 million (EUR 16.4 million). The figure includes a net of tax EUR 42.3 million impairment loss recognized on the re-measurement to fair value and costs to sell. In addition, it includes a demerger effect of approximately EUR 113.3 million, which includes among other things recognition of distribution liability to fair value and a write down related to the fair valuation of Munksjö Oyj shares.
Result including discontinued operations
In October-December 2013, profit for the period including discontinued operations was EUR 8.4 million (EUR 2.3 million loss). Earnings per share with the effect of interest on the hybrid bond were EUR 0.15 (EUR -0.06).
Return on equity (ROE) was 9.2% (-1.8%).
In January-December 2013, the profit for the period including discontinued operations was EUR 57.0 million (EUR 0.1 million loss). Earnings per share with the effect of interest on the hybrid bond were EUR 1.17 (EUR -0.09).
Return on equity (ROE) was 13.8% (0.0%).
The figures above include the demerger effects explained in the previous section.
Rightsizing program
Following the completion of the Label and Processing demerger, Ahlstrom initiated a rightsizing program to bring down the costs of the company to reflect its new size and scope.
Ahlstrom expanded its rightsizing program from the previously communicated EUR 35 million to EUR 50 million as announced on January 30, 2014. The majority of the planned actions related to the rightsizing program will be realized by the end of 2014, and the full impact of the program is expected to be visible in 2015.
As a result of the planned program, Ahlstrom's personnel is estimated to be reduced by approximately 400 people globally at the maximum, instead of the earlier estimated 350 people as communicated with the previous cost savings target on August 7, 2013.
The targeted savings will be derived from all business areas and functions globally. In particular, the aim is to reduce selling, general and administration (SGA) costs and further improve supply chain efficiency. The aim is to bring the SGA costs back to a level of 10-11% of net sales in 2015.
The planned changes and personnel impacts are subject to employee consultation processes, which will be initiated according to local legislation in the countries affected.
Ahlstrom plans to book non-recurring costs of approximately EUR 15 million related to rightsizing during the years 2014-2015.
The program is moving ahead as targeted. As of December 31, 2013, approximately EUR 12 million in cost savings, of which approximately EUR 5 million is derived from costs being transferred to Munksjö Oyj and reported in discontinued operations, were achieved and only minor restructuring costs were booked.
Proposal for the distribution of profit
Ahlstrom aims to pay a dividend of not less than one third of the net cash from operating activities after operative investments, calculated as a three-year rolling average to achieve stability in the dividend pay-out. Operative investments include maintenance, cost reduction, and efficiency improvement investments.
The distributable funds on the balance sheet of Ahlstrom Corporation as of December 31, 2013 amounted to EUR 501,462,715.72.
The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that dividend in the aggregate maximum amount of EUR 14.0 million, or EUR 0.30 per share, shall be paid as follows:
(i) Dividend payable in Munksjö Oyj's shares: Each 26 Ahlstrom's shares entitle their holder to receive 1 share in Munksjö Oyj as a dividend. Ahlstrom shall distribute to its shareholders as dividend a maximum of 1,795,023 shares of Munksjö.
(ii) Dividend payable in cash: A dividend of approximately EUR 0.09 per share be paid in cash from the retained earnings. As per January 30, 2014, the number of shares of the Company amounts to 46,670,608 based on which the maximum amount to be distributed as dividend payable in cash would be approximately EUR 4.3 million.
Ahlstrom intends to pay dividends both in cash and in Munksjö shares also in the future.
The share of the Company will trade together with the right to dividend until March 25, 2014.The dividend will be paid to each shareholder who is registered in the Company's shareholder register maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd on the record date March 28, 2014. No dividend will be paid based on shares owned by the Company or its subsidiaries. The Board proposes that the dividend payable in Munksjö shares shall be paid on April 4, 2014.The cash payment corresponding to the fractional entitlements and the dividend payable in cash shall be paid on or about April 8, 2014.
In addition, the Board of Directors proposes that EUR 70,000 will be reserved for donations at the discretion of the Board.
Based on Ahlstrom's view of the development of its main markets, pricing and product mix, competitive dynamics and expected cost savings, the company anticipates net sales in 2014 to be EUR 930-1,090 million. The operating profit margin excluding non-recurring items is expected to be 2-5% of net sales.
In 2014, investments excluding acquisitions from continuing operations are estimated to be approximately EUR 50 million (EUR 76.1 million in 2013).
Short-term risks
The global economy is expected to gain momentum this year with regional variations. While the European economy has shown some signs of recovery, it may be uneven and fragile. Recent indicators for the development of the U.S. economy are more positive. In Asia, the Chinese economy in particular, may grow at a slower pace than previously anticipated.
The slower than anticipated economic growth poses risks to Ahlstrom's financial performance. It may lead to lower sales volumes and force Ahlstrom to initiate more market-related shutdowns at plants, which could affect profitability. The uncertainty related to global economic growth, increased volatility in our main markets and limited visibility are making it more difficult to forecast future developments.
In recent years, Ahlstrom has initiated investment projects such as the wallcoverings production line in Binzhou, China, that are in a start-up phase. The company's financial performance may be negatively affected by the commercialization of new production lines.
Ahlstrom's main raw materials are natural fibers, mainly pulp, synthetic fibers, and chemicals. The prices of some of the key raw materials used by Ahlstrom remain at a high level and are volatile.
If global economic growth slows down, maintaining current sales prices may be at risk and sustaining the current level of profitability may be compromised, even if raw material prices fall at the same time.
The general risks facing Ahlstrom's business operations are described in greater detail on the company website at www.ahlstrom.com and in the report by the Board of Directors in the company's Annual Report 2012. The risk management process is also described in the Corporate Governance Statement, also available on the company's website.
This report contains certain forward-looking statements that reflect the present views of the company's management. The statements contain uncertainties and risks and are thus subject to changes in the general economic situation and in the company's business.

Dispute Resolution Service
DRS Decision 963
.nz Dispute Resolution Service
DRS Reference: 963
Sienna Group (2008) Limited v Eco Move (NZ) Limited / Eco Move (Aust) Pty Limited
Key words - registered mark - identical to domain name - discussions but no relationship between parties-dispute unsuitable for decision by Expert
1. Parties
Complainant:
Sienna Group (2008) Limited
5 William Laurie Place
Represented internally by: Mr Andrew Nichols
Respondent:
Eco Move (NZ) Limited/Eco Move (Aust.) Pty. Limited
Level 8, 57 Fort Street
Represented internally by: Mr Stefan Wobking
2. Domain Name/s
www.ecomove.co.nz ("the Domain Name")
3.1 The Complaint was lodged on 29/04/14 and Domain Name Commission (DNC), notified the Respondent of the validated Complaint on 02/05/14. The domain/s were locked on 30/04/14, preventing any changes to the record until the conclusion of these proceedings.
3.2 The Respondent filed a Response to the Complaint on 22/05/14 and the DNC so informed the Complainant on 22/05/14. The DNC informed the parties on 20/06/14 that informal mediation had failed to achieve a resolution to the dispute.
3.3 The Complainants paid DNC the appropriate fee on 11/07/2014 for a decision of an Expert, pursuant to Paragraph 9 of the .nz Dispute Resolution Service Policy ("the Policy").
3.4 Sir Ian Barker, the undersigned ("the Expert") confirmed to DNC on 02/07/2014 that he knew of no reason why he could not properly accept the invitation to act as Expert in this case, and that he knew of no matters which ought to be drawn to the attention of the parties which might appear to call into question his independence and/or impartiality. The Expert was appointed by DNC to give a decision in this case, on 02/07/2014.
3.5 The Expert has changed the intituling of this complaint as filed in the following respects. First, the proper Complainant should be Sienna Group (2008) Limited ("the Complainant") and not Andrew Nichols who filed the complaint. The reason for the change is that the Complainant is the owner of the trademark to which the disputed domain name is said to be identical or confusingly similar.
3.6 The documentation sent to the DNC did not explain what connection, if any, Mr Nichols had with the Complainant. However, the Expert having viewed the websites requested by the Complainant, has ascertained that Mr Nichols is concerned with the management of the Complainant.
3.7 However it should be noted that complaints should always be filed in the name of the owner or licensee of the trademark alleged to have been infringed by the disputed Domain Name and not in the name of any individual who is acting for the Complainant. Mr Nichols should have advised one whether he was a director of or a lawyer for the Complainant. In view of the information on the website, the Expert is prepared to allow the complaint to proceed.
3.8 The Respondent is cited as "Eco Move", a registrant with an address recorded on the register at 19 Pascoe Avenue, Bentleigh, Victoria, Australia.
3.9 A Domain Name should always be registered always in the name of an individual or of some corporation as the policy requires. It is not enough for registration to be of a trade name which is merely a trading vehicle for an individual or individuals whose true identity is thus not disclosed. Various Experts have said in several previous decisions that registration should be effected only in favour of an individual or individuals or a properly constituted organisation. It is to be hoped that .nz Registrars will take heed and register accordingly.
3.10 In this instance, it appears that there is both an Australian company and a New Zealand company each bearing the "Eco Move" name. Both were registered after the disputed Domain Name was registered with a Registrar in Perth, Western Australia in June 2011. The Expert does not know whether the Domain Name is an asset of either the Australian company Eco Move (Aust) Pty Ltd (which presumably procured its registration since the Registrar is in Australia) or the New Zealand company, Eco Move (NZ) Limited.
3.11 However, in view of the decision to which the Expert has come, it does not really matter which company it is. For the purposes of this exercise, both companies will be entitled as Respondents on the understanding that one of them must have acquired the rights to the registration of the disputed Domain Name from its anonymous registrant when one or other of them was incorporated. Despite there being two companies nominated as Respondents, the Expert will refer in this decision to "the Respondent", singular, since the Expert is uncertain as to which is the correct Respondent. Again, some clarity should have been provided in the documentation filed. To be fair, the Respondent named itself as "Eco Move (New Zealand) Limited" but gave no information as to how this company had come to acquire the disputed Domain Name from the original registrant. No change to registration details has ever been made.
4.1 The Complainant is the owner of a New Zealand Trademark, Registration No. 977256, for the expression Eco Move. The date of deemed registration is 14 May 2013. The disputed Domain Name was registered on 10 June 2011.
4.2 The predecessor of the Respondent commenced trading under the business name "Eco-Move" in Australia in 2010 and registered this as a business name in the State of Victoria on 15 June 2010. On 1 July 2010, according to the Federal Australian Business Register, the name "Eco-Move" was registered as a sole trader. The Respondent registered the Domain Name ecomove.com.au and commenced constructing a website as at 4 July 2010. This website became operative on 14 January 2011.
4.3 Eco Move (Aust) Pty Limited was registered under Australian company legislation as a proprietary company on 4 January 2012. This company obtained an Australian trademark, No. 1502631 for the expression "Eco Move" in a stylised box and deemed registration is from 7 July 2012. The Respondent has traded under that mark in Australia in the business of providing relocation goods and services using plastic stackable crates.
4.4 The New Zealand company, Eco Move (New Zealand) Limited was incorporated on 30 January 2013. It now operates a website accessed by the disputed Domain Name offering services for the hire of re-locatable boxes to assist persons moving house or office.
4.5 The Respondent did not register its Australian trademark in New Zealand nor did the Complainant register its New Zealand trademark in Australia.
4.6 The Complainant says that it granted a licence to Rentacrate Limited to provide relocation services to private individuals, households and businesses utilising its registered trademark ECOMOVE. It provides its services to customers in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch and is said to expand its operations throughout New Zealand. No copy of the Licence Agreement with Rentacrate was supplied by the Complainant.
4.7 The Respondent established a franchise operation in Auckland in early 2013 which was concluded on 19 March 2013 between Eco Move (New Zealand) Limited and TLR Systems Limited which grants the right to the franchisees to use the trademark ECOMOVE and the disputed Domain Name in New Zealand. The Respondent's website accessed through the disputed Domain Name has remained in operation since April 2013. Like the Complainant, the Respondent did not provide a copy of its Franchise or Licence Agreement.
5.1 The disputed Domain Name is not generically descriptive and is identical or confusingly similar to the Complainant's Trademark. The Respondent registered the Domain Name some two years after the Complainant began using the Eco Move mark in New Zealand. The Complainant has developed a substantial reputation and goodwill in its trademark which is exclusively associated with the Complainant in the minds of New Zealand customers.
5.2 The Respondent deliberately registered the disputed Domain Name in a blatant attempt to divert trade to the Respondent and therefore there is an unfair registration as defined in the Policy. The Respondent registered the Domain Name primarily for the purposes of unfairly disrupting the business of the Complainant and is using the Domain Name in a manner which takes unfair advantage of or is unfairly detrimental to the Complainant's rights or in a manner which is likely to confuse, mislead or deceive people into believing that the disputed Domain Name is registered to, operated or authorised by or otherwise connected to the Complainant. Customers are being intentionally diverted away from the Complainant by the Respondent.
5.3 The Respondent registered the disputed Domain Name on 10 June 2011 in good faith and for the purposes of marketing its business in New Zealand using the Australian trademark. It seeks to develop an Australasian business. It has been supplying reusable boxes for moving goods for four years, such boxes being branded with the ECOMOVE trademark.
5.4 The Respondent commenced trading and using the mark ECOMOVE in Australia during early 2010. It registered the disputed Domain Name prior to becoming incorporated. It also devised a letterhead about this time showing a genuine use of the mark ECOMOVE in association with its business. It also registered the related .au Domain Name and developed a website accessed by that Domain Name.
5.5 The Respondent in good faith considers it is the first user and owner of the mark "Eco Move" and is making fair use of the disputed Domain Name. It has an Australian trademark and had been involved in marketing its services in Australia since 2010. It developed a New Zealand website during 2013 which has been operative since April 2013. It has this legitimate and fair ownership of the disputed Domain Name for which it has established goodwill and a reputation in the marketplace.
5.6 The complaint is unfairly brought by the Complainant in that the Respondent believed it was the legitimate owner of the trademark in Australasia and was unaware of the "bad faith activities" of Mr Nichols in appropriating its trademark in New Zealand.
5.7 The complaint has established a pattern of misconduct with other competitors by attempting to frustrate and disrupt them as can be seen from a perusal of a decision of the WIPO Panellist in On-line Digital Solutions Limited (t/a Moovabox) v Rentacrate (NZ) Limited, (WIPO Decision D2013-0567). The Respondent, Rentacrate (NZ) Limited, which has featured in this narrative earlier, is a company associated with the Complainant which has a Licence Agreement with the Complainant in respect of its trademark. The WIPO Panellist in that case accepted that the main mark of Rentacrate was RENTACRATE which had traded under that name.
5.8 The Respondent also alleges the Complainant is currently restraining another competitor, Kiwi Box Hire, by having appropriated and registered that competitor's proprietary trademark in a similar pattern of conduct to that shown by the Complainant towards the Respondent's mark.
5.9 The Complainant has not provided any evidence of prior use and there is no evidence of actual confusion or that the disputed Domain Name is being used in a way that it confuses, misleads or deceives customers. A copy of the Licence Agreement was not provided. The Complainant's New Zealand trademark application was made in bad faith and to harass the Respondent. Its registration is invalid and should be either voluntarily withdrawn by the Complainant or an application for removal of the registration will be filed by the Respondent in due course.
5.10 The Complainant has not provided any proof of use of the ECOMOVE mark prior to February 2014 and its statements to the contrary are misleading and incorrect. An attachment to the complaint shows one website place page on or about February 2014 referring to ECOMOVE which is the first use by the Complainant of that mark.
5.11 The Respondent has researched archived pages of the website of Rentacrate.co.nz through the archive site, Waybackmachine. This shows that changes were made only recently to the "About Us" page which made reference to "Eco Move". The Rentacrate website on 23 May 2010 makes no reference to Eco Move. An archived copy of the Rentacrate website on 16 December 2013 makes no reference to Eco Move. On the About Us part of the website, Mr Nichols states "established in NZ in 2009, Rentacrate was the first company to introduce reusable moving boxes to NZ". Consequently the Complainant is using the trademark RENTACRATE in relation to its business to date and not the ECOMOVE mark. Consequently, no evidence of prior use of the trademark Eco Move has been adduced for the reason that there has been no use since before 2014.
5.12 The Respondent's use of its Domain Name represented its trading name. It has always conducted a legitimate activity. It does not take advantage of nor is it detrimental to Rentacrate.
5.13 The Complainant has not used the trademark ECOMOVE except for its recent change to its Rentacrate website. Any decision not to transfer the disputed Domain Name to the Complainant as requested would not be unfair or detrimental to the Complainant. Allegations in the complaint about the use of the trademark by the Complainant i.e., that it has used the ECOMOVE trademark from 2009 to 2014 appear to be fabrications. That statement may be correct in respect of the mark RENTACRATE, but not in respect of the mark ECOMOVE. Consequently the Complainant is acting in bad faith.
6.1 The Complainant is required to satisfy the Expert on the balance of probabilities that it has met the requirements of paragraph 4 of the Policy. Under paragraph 4.1.1 the Complainant has to show that it has rights in respect of a name or mark which is identical or similar to the disputed Domain Name and under paragraph 4.1.2, the Complainant must show that the disputed Domain Name in the hands of the Respondent is an unfair registration.
6.2 It is necessary to keep in mind the requirements of clause 5.4 of the Policy, which provides that in making a decision, the Expert may not take into account any evidence of acts or omissions amounting to Unfair Registration or Use which occurred more than three years before the date of the complaint.
7. Rights
7.1 The Complainant clearly has shown it has a registered trademark for ECO MOVE in New Zealand. Accordingly the Complainant has exclusive rights to use that registered trademark in this country since the Australian mark has not been registered in New Zealand as it could have been. Unless and until the trademark registration in New Zealand has been cancelled by appropriate process, then the Expert has to find that it is a valid trademark.
7.2 Consequently the Expert finds that the disputed Domain Name is identical to the Complainant's registered trademark in which the Complainant has rights and the Complaint has satisfied Paragraph 4.1 of the Policy.
8. Unfair Registration
8.1 Unfair Registration is defined in paragraph 3 of the Policy as follows:
"Unfair Registration" means a Domain name which either:
(i) Was registered or otherwise acquired in a manner which, at the time when the registration or acquisition took place, took unfair advantage of or was unfairly detrimental to the Complainant's rights; or
(ii) Has been, or is likely to be used in a manner which took unfair advantage of or was unfairly detrimental to the Complainant's Rights.
8.2 A non-exhaustive list of factors which may be evidence that the Domain Name is an unfair registration is set out in paragraphs 5.1.1 - 5.1.5 of the Policy. Two of those factors are:
"5.1.2 Circumstances demonstrating that the Respondent is using the Domain Name in a way which is likely to confuse, mislead or deceive people or businesses into believing that the Domain Name is registered to, operated or authorised or otherwise connected with the Complainant.
5.1.1(c) Circumstances indicating that the Respondent has registered in the Domain Name primarily … for the purposes of unfairly disrupting the business of the Complainant."
8.3 Under Part 6 of the Policy the Respondent may demonstrate that the Domain Name is not an unfair registration in a non-exhaustive list of factors as set out in paragraph 6.1.1 - 6.1.4.
"6.1.1 Before being aware of the Complainant's cause for complaint (not necessarily the complaint itself), the Respondent has:
(a) Used or made demonstrable preparations to use the Domain Name or a Domain Name which is similar to the Domain Name in connection with a genuine offering of goods or services"
8.4 Clause 6.1.2 states:
"The Domain Name is generic or descriptive and the Respondent is making fair use of it in a way which is consistent with the generic or descriptive character."
8.5 This is a case where there may be a claim for breach of trademark rights. It is unsuitable for the summary assessment process under the Policy where there can be no oral evidence, no cross/examination and the Expert has to decide matters solely on the information that the parties choose to provide in written form.
8.6 The Complainant has a New Zealand trademark which was registered after the Australian trademark but the Australian trademark was not registered in New Zealand and therefore, the Complainant was entitled to register a New Zealand trademark. However, it appears clear that the Respondent was trading in Australia under the title Eco Move after it registered the disputed Domain Name. There is no evidence that it knew of the operation of the Complainant in 2011. It seems doubtful that the Complainant was then trading under "Eco Move" as distinct from "Rentacrate". In view of the "way back" information it seems that Mr Nichols was then trading under the name of Rentacrate. The Expert is precluded in considering matters which took place before 29 April 2011.
8.7 If the Complainant has a case for infringement of its trademark then it can institute appropriate court proceedings in New Zealand. Likewise the Respondent could institute proceedings to restrain the Complainant from using its Australian trademark which it claims has acquired a reputation in New Zealand through "reputation spill-over". This contention could be difficult to establish since the Respondent did not register its Australian trademark in New Zealand.
8.8 The evidence before the Expert creates substantial doubt over the assertions of the Complainant that it has been trading as"Eco Move" as distinct from "Rentacrate", since 2011. Such allegations can only be tested and authoritatively ruled upon by a court, after it has seen and heard witnesses. The Respondent appears to have established a genuine business in Australia and having had plans to operate in New Zealand (as witness to its registration of the disputed Domain Name in 2011), now wishes to implement those plans by offering to New Zealand consumers the same services that it offers in Australia. Its only mistake was not to register its Australian trademark in New Zealand.
8.9 There is no evidence of a deliberate attempt by the Respondent to divert business from the Complainant.
8.10 Under ICANN Uniform Domain Name Resolution Policy, the principle of a Panellist not deciding commercial disputes is well stated by a WIPO Panellist in Luvion Indis NV v Top Serve Tennis Pty Ltd DAU2005/0004 September 6, 2005, thus:
"The Policy's purpose is to combat abusive domain name registrations and not to provide a prescriptive code for resolving more complex trademark disputes … the issues between the parties are not limited to the law of trademarks. There are other intellectual property issues. There are serious contractual issues. There are questions of governing law and proper forum if the matter were litigated. Were all the issues fully ventilated before a court of competent jurisdiction, and maybe finding a complied contractual terms minimum termination period, breach of contract estoppel or other equitable defences. So far as the facts fit within trademark law there may be arguments of infringement, validity of the registrations ownership of goodwill, local reputation, consent, acquiescence and so on."
8.11 Those words could well apply here. In addition, there would have to be considered the rights of third parties such as the franchisee of the Respondent or the licensee of the Complainant. The Expert would be reluctant to issue a Decision which could affect them when they are not parties to the present process and no information concerning their respective contracts has been provided.
8.12 The Expert cannot pay too much attention to what is alleged to have been done by the Complainant or Rentacrate or Mr Nichols in respect of the Complainant's competitors other than the Respondent. However the WIPO decision cited by the Respondent reinforces the concept that the Complainant has operated this particular business under the name "Rentacrate" rather than "Eco Move" which was not mentioned in the decision of the WIPO Panellist. That factor makes it all the more inappropriate for this Expert to rule on the Complaint. Rather, the parties should litigate in the courts where a full investigation of the facts will be possible.
Accordingly the Expert determines that the disputed Domain Name shall remain with the Respondent and the Complaint is dismissed
