Make Background check for Chinese company

Background check Chinese company via 'China Checkup'

Nowadays a new online service allows businesses to verify Chinese companies quickly and affordably. Creditreform(China) is one of the leading providers of credit and risk management support services and commercial information in China.  It makes official registration checks on Chinese companies accessible to businesses around the world.

For many countries China is a very important import and export destination. Make china background check is an important step in making informed decisions and doing business safely in China. It can also help you to avoid becoming a part of China's booming fraud industry.

Matt Slater started his China business consulting company 2 years ago, and he is doing things differently to the rest. 'cnbizsearch' lets customers order Chinese company verifications online. The whole process takes place via a secure online payments system. The new service has already received a very positive feedback from the market.

"There needs to be an affordable and streamlined way to obtain this information, which more and more companies require. This is what we hope to provide through cnbizsearch."

Tips – How to avoid problems

Mr Slater also gave some recommendations for avoiding problems when doing business with Chinese companies:

1. Have a contract, and translate it into Chinese. The value of a clear contract isn't just to have something to fall back on if disputes arise. It also ensures that both parties are on the same page.

2. Make it very clear that you're serious about the relationship. Demonstrating commitment to the deal and its results from the start will serve to put off potential low-quality companies, and give high-quality companies the confidence to move forwards with you and your company. Make it clear from the beginning that you will be carrying out background checks, audits and quality inspections.

3. Take responsibility for quality. Don't make the mistake of assuming that the other party will 'fill in the gaps' or handle any oversights not fully specified. Assume that it's your responsibility to clearly and completely communicate your expectations.

4. Documents can be faked.  Take the view that documentation you are shown is meaningless until you can independently verify it through background checks and confirmations with the issuing authority.

5. Also remember that you get what you pay for. Some people doing business with Chinese companies think that the usual relationship between cost and quality doesn't apply in China. This leads to deals going bad. China may be cheaper in general, but there is certainly a limit to this. Recognise that the other party also needs to make a fair profit; if you drive prices down too far, quality will inevitably be affected.

The external components will be connected via

To make the chip faster, IBM has turned to a more advanced manufacturing process, increased the clock speed and added more cache memory, but perhaps the biggest change heralded by the Power8 cannot be found in the specifications.

After years of restricting Power processors to its servers, IBM is throwing open the gates and will be licensing Power8 to third-party chip and component makers.

IBM has moved away from some proprietary board-level technologies with Power8, and has included a connector so third-party graphics processors and other components can be easily linked to the chip.IBM recently announced it would open up the Power chip intellectual property and license it to third parties including Google.women shoes manufacturer The IP is being opened up as part of a development alliance called OpenPower Consortium, and one of the members is Nvidia, which is expected to develop a graphics processor that connects to the Power8 processor. Tyan is building a server based on the Power8 chip.

The previous Power7 chip was perhaps best known for its place in the Watson supercomputer, which famously competed against humans on the U.S. TV quiz show "Jeopardy" -- and won.

Watson also found use in areas like health care and the financial sector. Beyond IBM's traditional market of Unix servers, the Power8 chip is also designed for areas like cloud and big data."Big data is something that is driving ," said Jeff Stuecheli, chief nest architect of IBM Power Systems in the Systems and Technology Development Group. "You have big data, you need big performance."The Power8 chip will support up to 1TB of DRAM in initial server configurations and will offer 230GB per second of sustained memory bandwidth, Stuecheli said.

The external components will be connected via the CAPI port. The CAPI port interfaces with the PCI-Express slot for external components such as GPUs or FPGAs to communicate with the chip.The chip is made using the 22-nanometer process. Power8 has a large cache memory, including 512KB of cache per core, 96MB of on-chip shared L3 and 128MB off-chip L4 cache. The L4 cache was removed in Power7, but it comes back with Power8. Each processor core will also support eight threads, giving the chip the ability to run 96 threads simultaneously.IBM wants to share the Power8 technology with a larger ecosystem, and is also working on an open software stack for the processor, Steucheli said. A lot of the tools will help develop high-performance applications.

 "This industry-first solution enables VMware virtualized data centers to benefit from flash-level performance while retaining network accessibility and fault tolerance using our 40GbE NIC interconnection to handle the server-to-server enterprise storage loads," said Motti Beck, Director of Enterprise Market Development for Mellanox Technologies. "We are very pleased to extend our collaboration with OCZ enabling virtualized environments to benefit from highly available, low latency SAN-less deployments."

"The combination of on-host flash with our VXL Software enables lower TCO in the software-defined data center by increasing VM density and server utilization," said Dr. Allon Cohen, Vice President of Software and Solutions for OCZ Technology. "Our collaboration with Mellanox to enable lower latency and increased bandwidth connectivity between servers enables these environments to enjoy the TCO and performance gain improvements while retaining all of the benefits of a SAN-less, software-defined deployment without compromises or limitations."

The Mellanox ConnectX-3 EN 40/56GbE NIC delivers high-bandwidth and industry-leading Ethernet connectivity for performance-driven server and storage applications in enterprise data centers, High Performance Computing (HPC) and embedded environments. Its low power and application acceleration for converged I/O infrastructures eliminate the need for multiple Ethernet connections to the server while maximizing server and storage performance throughput. This results in reduced operating costs and network complexity.

I felt an intense pressure to dress well

"That girl needs some new clothes," says one boy in my grade to another, without realizing I can hear. "Some very new clothes," his friend agrees. I am in sixth grade and my father has been dead for one year. As always, I am wearing hand-me-downs: an oversized purple top, matching patchwork-print leggings and basketball sneakers. I'm about as interested in sixth grade boys as I am in fashion. Middle school is weird; it's like all of a sudden I'm supposed to start wearing bras and makeup and shoes that aren't basketball sneakers.

Two years later, I have grown eight inches and hips. I have glasses, braces, a report card of straight As,wholesale fashion shoes and all of the poise of Cosmo Kramer. It is at the end of the school year at my confirmation party that I have my first Cinderella moment. I am wearing a lilac silk sheath dress and shimmery pink lipstick with my hair done up in a French twist. My usual high-waters are nowhere in sight. I feel beautiful and it shows. The prettiest girl in school tells me I look like Barbie and my longtime crush asks me to dance. For the first time, I experienced the transformative effect of the right clothes.

My hometown of White Plains, New York, is a Manhattan suburb that Forbes once ranked as the third most expensive city in America. My father used to say that we weren't rich, but we were rich in love. After he died, my mother and I fought often, especially about money. I wanted a clothing allowance and she wouldn't give me one. Most of my classmates were well-off and well-dressed; I resented our frugal lifestyle. By the start of high school, I was earning enough money from babysitting to buy all of my own clothes. The newly-opened Westchester Mall became my favorite place to go with friends and escape from my house.

Once I got to college, my shopping habit became difficult to maintain. The people around me seemed carefree with deep-pocketed parents and I felt like could never keep up. I couldn't afford to go on spring break or a wardrobe of cute going-out clothes on my student-worker salary. I felt cheated but also lost. I was supposed to pick a major, a path, an identity, but all I wanted to do was go shopping. During my senior year, I started charging purchases here and there, figuring that after I started working, I could pay off my credit card.

A few months later, I started my first job in Manhattan as a financial news editor. I decided that I wanted to write for a fashion magazine, but I needed money and health insurance and could not afford to hold out for my dream job. I was happy to be earning a living, but frustrated and feeling stuck. I felt that my father would have been most proud of me in a business or legal career. I tried to cure my bad days with Marc Jacobs dresses and Chanel makeup.

As a Manhattanite, I felt an intense pressure to dress well, and my bills skyrocketed. A starting salary of $42,000 doesn't go far on 5th Avenue, so I used credit cards to make up the difference between what I could afford and what I wanted. I stuck to the sale racks at first, because no one loves a bargain more than I do, but sometimes I saw a bag or dress I liked on Gossip Girl and just couldn't say no. If I was the only girl willing to stimulate the economy during a recession, so be it. I started a fashion blog about shopping in Manhattan. I'm not sure if the blog fueled the shopping or the shopping fueled the blog, but both felt like my only escape. Celebrity style and my latest purchases were all I wanted to talk about. I kept thinking that one day, I would have a better, higher-paying job and I will be able to pay all of my bills and finally focus on having the life I want. But that day never came.

The credit counselor pulled my credit report and was quiet for a long time. I didn't breathe. In order to be eligible for a payment plan, he said, I would need to bring in an additional $700 per month. "Otherwise, you're looking at a bankruptcy," he said.

The word hung in the air. I tried to envision myself facing a judge in court and, more terrifying, telling my mother what I had done. I couldn't bear to move back home or to give away the cat I rescued. That would mean I had failed. I had dreamed of living in New York for years and I there was no way I was going to leave now. If I was going to live on a small salary in America's most expensive city, I would have to make some serious changes.

Gone too are the days of dropping $60 on beauty products every time I hit the drugstore. I started clipping coupons from the Sunday paper and shopping around for the best prices on groceries, food for my cat and cleaning supplies. I applied to a few part-time jobs, but since I already worked late nights, it was too difficult to find anyone who needed part-time help only in the mornings. I was secretly glad about this because my day job exhausts me, but getting turned down by a gym and multiple thrift stores is a new low.

The prosecutor stated the teens discussed

That’s how Chief Deputy Prosecutor, Vicki Becker kicked off the trial in her opening statement. She went on to detail how the day progressed, painting a vivid picture for everyone in the courthouse of what the defendants were doing before they broke into the home.

“Five individuals” the prosecutor explained, “came together and they were just hanging on the porch of Jose Quiroz.” Quiroz lives directly across the street from 1919 Frances, the home hit by the break-in. The prosecutor stated the teens discussed ‘robbing’ the guy across the street and planned how it was going to happen.

“Robbery” later became a term of contention referenced by Blake Layman’s attorney, Mark Doty. According to Doty, “robbery” incorrectly implies that the teens intentionally applied force to take possessions from Rodney Scott, the homeowner at 1919 Frances, as opposed to burglarizing a supposedly empty home.

Prosecution continued establishing the scene by explaining how one of the five perpetrators, Levi Sparks, stayed behind with a cell phone to look out in case something might happen. Then, the prosecutor said the remaining teens knocked on the door of Scott’s home before going around back to an area that was “a little more secluded” for the break-in.

“It was at that point,” said the prosecutor, “that Danzele Johnson used significant effort—he was a big guy” and kicked in the back door and an interior door of Scott’s home. Leading the way Johnson and the three others went inside and proceeded to rummage through Scott’s possessions. Referencing Jose Quiroz’s testimony before and during his plea agreement, the prosecutor told the courtroom the defendants actively searched and tore through the rooms and drawers “because Mr. Scott was old school” and kept his money inside his house.

As the four intruders were downstairs, Scott awakened from a nap, “felt a ‘boom’ and it startled him.’” When Scott heard a second loud noise, the prosecutor stated he grabbed not just his cell phone but a hand gun as well.

“It wasn’t his first thought, but it was enough to provoke him to get his handgun,” explained the prosecutor. She said it isn’t one of Scott’s “fond” possessions but rather a “what if” possession.

The details of what happened next, we may never fully know explained the prosecutor. Scott said he loudly made his way down the stairs, armed with a pistol, and saw two individuals standing in the doorway to his spare bedroom, one in his kitchen and another in front of him. She said that at that point in time all Scott remembers is firing his gun.

“We will not know how Danzele Johnson was struck with a bullet right above his sternum,” Becker added.

The prosecution went on to state how Johnson was one of the two individuals standing in the doorway, and once shots were fired the two made their way into a closet with Jose Quiroz.

“While they were in that closet they were hiding as Rodney Scott was holding them at gunpoint as he called police…no other shots were fired,” Becker claimed.wholesale fashion shoes It was then, prosecution argued, that Sparks came over to aid his friends. Becker stated Quiroz dialed the cell phone that was left behind with Sparks while he was inside the closet, and asked Sparks to create a distraction.

Sparks saw Scott inside the home with a gun and took off, stated the prosecutor. After calling police, she noted how Scott recognized Quiroz as his neighbor from across the street. Quiroz denied the familiarity and, in a “desperate attempt” to get out of there, the prosecutor explained that he knocked over an entertainment center and dove through a window into the alleyway.

Witness statements from later on in the trial covered the chase and arrest of Quiroz in greater detail, and the prosecution refocused its attention on wrapping up its account of the day’s events.

“When you break into somebody’s home, you violate their sanctity and security,” the prosecutor added before turning over to the defense.

Things seem to be moving online

Why are they doing this? I have no idea - it makes no sense to me. Well, that isn't entirely true. I asked TVNZ why they had scheduled Orange so late; their reasoning was that it was part of a push toward on-demand content, which makes a little sense. Online viewing has become a big part of what TVNZ does, and the success of online shows like local comedy Auckland Daze and teen drama The Carrie Diaries has made it a much more viable distribution method.

A recent example would be Scandal, the Kerry Washington-led drama written by Shonda Rhimes (of Grey's Anatomy fame); TVNZ has been showing a new episode each week through their on-demand portal, while promoting it through traditional broadcast channels. As a result, it's the second-most-popular show on the site.

The focus on on-demand isn't a mere excuse either. TVNZ have poured money into developing mobile apps for Apple and Samsung devices. I actually watched the third and fourth episodes of Scandal on my phone. It was fun trying it out, though I don't know how often I might go back to my mobile phone for a telly fix. The screen is too small.

There is a danger, though, that TVNZ could just be alienating viewers by scheduling a show like Orange Is the New Black at the ungodly time of 11.40pm, or launching a critical darling like Scandal (which picked up an Emmy nomination for Washington) through online outlets.

Let's face it: faith in broadcast networks is at an all-time low. Online content might be more popular than ever, but the overwhelming majority of viewers are still watching channels through traditional methods (albeit time-shifted in many cases). Does it really make sense to annoy the overwhelming majority of your viewers by scheduling at such an unsuitable time a show that they've been reading about for months? Or holding back a show so it can sit on a website?

Heck, I'm technologically capable of finding shows, and even I'm annoyed that Scandal is sitting on a website. If TVNZ has the show, why wouldn't they just play the damn show on a channel somewhere? Why make us wait even longer?

This isn't just a TVNZ thing. Mediaworks had a play with online-only fast-tracking by playing the first ever episode of New Girl on the Four website for a week before it aired (a marketing ploy adopted from US network Fox), and some SoHo shows have been available online ahead of their launch date.

Things seem to be moving online more and more often; even Orange Is the New Black lives exclusively online in most parts of the world, thanks to the emergence of Netflix. I believe that, eventually, online will be the only place to find good television (if not all television).

But I also think it's a bit soon to be abandoning traditional viewers entirely. On-demand is a shiny new toy, but we're still in the early-adoption phase. A better wholesale fashion shoes between the old and the new needs to be found.

Union Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma will meet US Trade Representative Michael Froman this week to discuss India’s concerns related to additional visa restrictions on IT professionals, increased cases of visa rejections and expiry of duty-free benefit scheme for its exporters.

While the US is likely to raise concerns over ‘lax’ implementation of India’s intellectual property laws, Sharma will be on a stronger wicket this time as the Obama administration is itself facing questions for overturning telecom giant Samsung’s patent rights recently.

Sharma and Froman are scheduled to meet on the sidelines of the ASEAN Economic Community Council Meeting in Brunei beginning Monday.

“We have raised the issue of visa restrictions earlier. But things continue to be bad for our IT professionals. The Minister will discuss these in addition to problems related to expiry of the duty-free export scheme,” a Commerce Department official told Business Line.

The US has, over the past two years, made it difficult for Indian IT companies such as Wipro, Infosys and TCS to carry out its work in the US. Under tough visa norms, not only have fees been increased several-fold for companies that have more than 50 per cent non-American employees, the Immigration Bill being debated by the US Congress could also impose steep fines on US-based Indian IT companies.

“Although IT body Nasscom has received assurances from various quarters that the Bill is being diluted and harmful provisions targeting Indian companies would be deleted, the Minister would also like to get the same assurance from the USTR,” the official said.

The news comes after multiple reports of iPhone

Now it's been confirmed the trade-in plan will be valid in the UK, Australia and Canada in addition to the US and China.

In the UK, a on-genuine charger can be exchanged for a genuine charger, although it will cost £8 to make the swap. A genuine Apple iPhone charger usually costs £15.

You can get a replacement charger per device you own (your device's srial number will be entered into the system) at the discounted rate and the offer lasts until October 18.

The news comes after multiple reports of iPhone owners being electrocuted by their charging iPhones.

This started with a 23-year-old flight attendant in China being killed by the shock from her charging iPhone after she answered it following a shower. Subsequently a 30-year-old man went into a coma after being zapped by his iPhone and most recently a woman in Australia also suffered an iPhone electrical shock which put her in hospital,wholesale fashion shoes though her injuries were the least severe of the three so far.

Investigations by Apple and local authorities have suggested that each incident was the result of the use of an unofficial third party charger, so Apple is taking action to try to prevent further injury to its customers.

As well as putting up guide pages on its websites showing what to look for to determine whether a charger is official or not, Apple has now announced its exchange program, starting from August 16 and running until October 18.

Under the scheme, users with unofficial chargers can go to an Apple Store or certified Apple service provider and trade their potentially dodgy unit for a shiny new Apple branded version at a cut price of $10 (£6.51). After having your iPhone’s serial number validated you can get the reduced price for one charging cable for each of your iPhones, iPads or iPods.

Is Apple overreacting? Perhaps, but it’s also understandable given modern litigation culture that the company should want to minimise such incidents. It’s also bad for its PR and product image if people keep getting shocked by the devices even if it’s not actually Apple’s fault.

The increase in iPhone injury incidents is also being paralleled in rival products from Samsung, with multiple reports of Samsung Galaxy devices overheating and ‘exploding’.

A woman in Switzerland sustained extensive burns to her leg when a Samsung Galaxy S3 battery went supernova in her jeans pocket. Most recently a Samsung Galaxy S4 owner in China claimed his whole house burnt down when his device burst into flame.

Several of these incidents are believed to have been caused by third party battery packs.

It’s difficult to think of a way Apple, Samsung and other key mobile players could deal with the production of dodgy third party chargers and batteries, particularly as the majority will be being made in China, somewhere where the production of cheap, copycat clone products is very much the norm.

While in some cases there must remain an element of personal responsibility on the part of the buyer,it’s also likely true that in plenty of cases the cheap clone chargers are being pedalled as the real deal and the customers are understandably oblivious.
