The UK government is committed to kickstarting the nation’s economic growth, but recently released trade figures from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) indicate a substantial journey ahead, according to leading audit, tax, and business advisory firm Blick Rothenberg. Simon Sutcliffe, Customs & Excise Duty Partner at the firm, commented: “Trade statistics for 2023, published by HMRC yesterday, show that the UK remains a predominantly service-based economy in international trade, with imports and exports of services dwarfing the movement of goods. The total value of exported services in 2023 stood at £187 billion, whereas imports of services were £423 billion.” He…

Start the chili in the morning and let it simmer though the day for a dinner that will have everyone smiling. Does anything smell better in the fall than a spicy pot of chili simmering on the stove? Once upon a time, probably 15+ years ago now, my friend Shannon brought a huge pot of chili to a party – and that chili was absolutely perfect. I’d been making chili…

Yesterday, that three-week period expired. Today, UKAD, announced their decision not to appeal the NADP’s decision. It also added in its statement…
The area of aerodynamics poses problems for amateurs and professionals alike. You can’t see the air you are trying to work with, and that air doesn’t react linearly. As a full-time aero engineer–you’ve likely seen my work at places like Daytona, Sebring and Talladega–I have five items that get under my skin when discussing operation aerodynamics. Bad Question: How Much Downforce Does It Make? This question is probably the first one that I get asked about an aero device. The real answer is “it depends.” How the device is incorporated into the whole car and the speeds involved are needed to…
Did you know that you can learn about a Louis Vuitton bags history by looking at its date code? It is the key to finding out when and where a piece was manufactured. A date code is also one of the many aspects that we look at during our authentication process.

Louis Vuitton has been incorporating date codes in almost every bag, wallet, shoe style, and small leather piece since the early 1980s. Prior…
