Pop Icons Series 2015 — Taisha Teal prev / next UAE to finish drafting corporate tax, VAT laws this quarter By Stanley Carvalho and Hadeel al-Sayegh Reuters Thursday, 2 July 2015 The United Arab Emirates, seeking to bolster state revenues, is likely to complete the drafting of laws introducing corporate tax and value-added tax in the third quarter of this year, a senior Ministry of Finance official said on Thursday. “The draft of the corporate tax law and the value-added tax law has been discussed with the local and federal governments,” Younis Haji al-Khouri, under-secretary at the ministry, told Reuters. He added that authorities were still evaluating the social and economic impact of the laws, but drafting was expected to be finished “very soon, within the third quarter of this year”. Khouri declined to comment on the proposed tax rates or when they might take effect. Introducing corporate tax and VAT in the UAE, which has promoted its low-tax environment to investors, would be a major shift in policy, and politically sensitive.

Malkowski, Christopher Dunn: 9781594771866: Amazon.com: Books Diffusion of Innovation | Principles of Marketing Learning Objectives Explain common challenges of new products Introduction Just as the product life cycle has a typical bell-shaped pattern, there is a predictable—and similar-shaped—pattern of buying, or adoption, when it comes to new products. Diffusion-of-Innovation Theory Common sense suggests that not everyone will buy a new product at the same time. Figure 1. The purple line on the graph indicates the percentage of the market that will buy a new product in each phase of product adoption. Consumer Adoption Patterns Innovators Innovators are willing to take risks and are viewed by their peers as risk takers. Early Adopters Early adopters have a high degree of opinion leadership among the adopter categories. Early Majority Early majority adopters span a longer period of time than the innovators and early adopters. Late Majority Late majority adopters arrive after the “average” participant have embraced an innovation. Laggards Laggards are the last to adopt an innovation.

5 Reasons the '60s Batman TV Show Is Better Than You Think Every Episode Is Purely Satisfying 20th Century Fox Television/Warner Bros. Television Distribution Most of Batman's plots follow this structure: a villain does something that pisses everyone off. Then, using a red Bat-phone, Gordon calls up Batman and Robin. 20th Century Fox Television/Warner Bros. Bruce and Dick hear that crime is afoot from Alfred (played by Alan Napier, who towers, god-like, over a world that consists solely of 5-foot-10 men), so they change into their costumes and attempt to stop it. 20th Century Fox Television/Warner Bros. One would think that you'd easily tire of this format. 20th Century Fox Television/Warner Bros. There's no denying that it's a formulaic approach, but it isn't a lazy one. The narrative structure of Batman sucks only if you're the type of person who adheres to that shitty "Everything has been done before!"

Diffusion of innovations Theory on how and why new ideas spread The diffusion of innovations according to Rogers. With successive groups of consumers adopting the new technology (shown in blue), its market share (yellow) will eventually reach the saturation level. The blue curve is broken into sections of adopters. Diffusion of innovations is a theory that seeks to explain how, why, and at what rate new ideas and technology spread. The categories of adopters are innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards. History[edit] The concept of diffusion was first studied by the French sociologist Gabriel Tarde in late 19th century[4] and by German and Austrian anthropologists and geographers such as Friedrich Ratzel and Leo Frobenius. In 1962, Everett Rogers, a professor of rural sociology at Ohio State University, published his seminal work: Diffusion of Innovations. Elements[edit] The key elements in diffusion research are: Characteristics of innovations[edit] Process[edit] Decisions[edit]

Batman (TV series) - Wikipedia The series focused on the adventures of Batman and Robin. Although the lives of their alter-egos, millionaire Bruce Wayne and his ward Dick Grayson (Richard John Grayson) were frequently shown, it was usually only briefly, in the context of their being called away on superhero business, or in circumstances where they needed to employ their public identities to assist in their crime-fighting. The "Dynamic Duo" typically come to the aid of the Gotham City Police upon the latter being stumped by a supervillain. Throughout each episode, Batman and Robin have to follow a series of wildly improbable clues to discover the supervillain's plan, then figure out how to thwart that plan and capture the criminal. For the first two seasons, Batman aired twice a week on consecutive nights. Ostensibly a crime series, the style of the show was in fact campy and tongue-in-cheek. With the death of Adam West on June 9, 2017, Burt Ward is now the only surviving main Batman cast member. Fact Toothpaste U.S.
