Challenges of branching out into Texas as a Mexican entrepreneur
Texas has become a natural next step for many Mexican entrepreneurs. The border feels closer than it looks on a map with our shared industries, steady trade flows, and strong cultural ties. It’s a move that’s both practical and appealing. Cities like Houston, Dallas, and Austin offer access to talent and a vast consumer base, so for founders ready to scale, the idea of setting up shop here isn’t just about growth; it’s about planting roots in a market that speaks, in many ways, a familiar language.
New community health services contract launches in Kent and Medway
A new contract, which sees adult and children’s community health services in Kent and Medway delivered by a new partnership, started this week. Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust (KCHFT) was awarded the contract as lead provider, by NHS Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board, and is delivering services in partnership with HCRG Care Group (HCRG) and Medway Community Healthcare (MCH).
Read first, Tick second: The importance of understanding contract terms and conditions
A recent decision from the Supreme Court of New South Wales is a timely warning for consumers and businesses of the importance in reading terms and conditions before they are signed. Michael Hill Jeweller (Australia) Pty Ltd (Michael Hill) has been ordered to pay AUD $2,259,971.40 (plus interest and costs) to its packaging supplier Gispac Pty Ltd (Gispac), for breaching the supplier's terms and conditions.
Building a New Grid Without New Legislation
In the absence of legislation, critical long-distance transmission can be developed by applying existing federal legal authorities. A number of important regulatory and commercial measures have been proposed, including streamlining transmission planning, upgrading existing transmission system components, putting transmission lines underground, and using existing rights-of-way from highways and railroads.
Building a New Grid without New Legislation: A Path to Revitalizing Federal Transmission Authorities
Read the Report Foreword Zero-carbon electricity will be the backbone of a net-zero economy, not only keeping the lights on in our homes and offices but also powering our transportation systems and industrial processes. Indeed, research indicates that in order to decarbonize the economy at a reasonable cost and within a reasonable time frame, we must rapidly decarbonize and grow the power sector.
Refraction Festival
Charlotte Algar Refraction is a two-week festival celebrating electronic music, visual art and internet culture. The festival has been hosted across international online platforms, including (obviously) Worldwide FM along with Contact, Crack, FACT, MUTEK, and Public Access. After this year’s festival season was cancelled, it’s refreshing to see an online festival that doesn’t feel like a shadow of it’s former self — Refraction was built from scratch for this exact situation.
Bluecoat Posters
This collection of posters provides a snapshot of Bluecoat's arts programme over the past 50 years, from Yoko Ono's 1967 performance to Pierre Henry's Liverpool Mass, presented at the Metropolitan Cathedral as part of Bluecoat's tercentenary programme in 2017. The posters represent just some of those in our archive and we will be adding to this collection in the coming months.
How Warren Betrayed the Left
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) ended her presidential bid on March 5 following her failure to win a single contest on Super Tuesday. Warren’s choice to drop out was long overdue, brought on by a steady decline in the polls and a lackluster performance in the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses. Despite her poor performance toward the end of her campaign, Warren stated that she would stay in the race, citing that she would hold onto her delegates in a brokered convention.
FRC criticises listed companies for minimalist approach to governance changes
The Financial Reporting Council (FRC), the UK’s boardroom regulator, has said that listed companies are only “paying lip service” to changes that were made to corporate guidelines last year. In its annual review of the UK corporate governance code, which is set by the FRC, the regulator found that many large companies are failing to improve their corporate culture, diversity or take the views of shareholders and the public into consideration, favouring “strict compliance” instead.
Trump and the Strategic Petroleum Reserve: Legal Authorities, Physical Realities and October Surprises
No U.S. president wants to see gasoline prices rise as they head into an election. Rolling up to the 2018 midterms in November, which already pose a threat to Republican control of Congress, that is precisely what President Donald Trump is facing. A combination of existing and potential oil supply problems are conspiring to undermine the perception of strong economic performance touted by Trump as a sign of the success of his administration.
Sam Walsh, incoming Australia Council chairman on creating art in critical times
Sam Walsh took up the chairmanship of the Australia Council last month. The former global head of mining company Rio Tinto is known in arts circles in Perth and London, but little is known about his intentions for the arts as he takes the helm of the country’s most important arts funding body. In this, his first public statement since taking up the Australia Council role, he writes exclusively for Daily Review on how he views the role of the arts in the nation’s identity and economy.
How Might a US-Mexico Trade Conflict Affect Trade in Natural Gas? | Global Trade Magazine
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly will have their hands full Thursday when they visit Mexico. From threats of deportation and a border wall to ending Mexico’s privileged trade relationship with the United States, the US-Mexico diplomatic relationship under the Trump administration has become more strained than it has been in years.

Site Diary: What We Found Inside The Morecambe Urn
The discovery of a Bronze Age burial is a rare occurrence in northwest England. Some researchers have assumed this to be because there wasn’t much happening in the region at the time, and that it was a bit of a Bronze Age blankspot. But was that really the case? Actually, the relative lack of prehistoric burials found in the region probably isn’t because they never existed, but because fewer people have gone looking for them.
The CEO of Rio Tinto on Managing in a Hypercyclical Industry
He knew that to succeed in such a turbulent environment, he would need to reconnect Rio Tinto with its core balance-sheet discipline and put it back on a path of measured, sustainable growth. He and the CFO decided to focus on three initiatives: tighten up investment decisions, allowing only the best projects to proceed; run the entire organization for cash; and drive efficiency throughout the company by cutting costs, exiting businesses, and rationalizing the workforce.
TPP will help create jobsRio Tinto CEO-commentary
For companies and consumers in Australia, the U.S., and throughout the world, greater growth is crucial. Increasing economic opportunity, and meeting the G20 goal set last year of at least 2 percent economic growth, is linked to rapid action on trade and investment.
