Online Merchants Guild files lawsuit challenging Pennsylvania’s pursuit of Amazon merchants for back taxes

0

Friday, Online Merchants Guild (“OMG”) filed suit in the Middle District of Pennsylvania against Pennsylvania’s Department of Revenue (“DOR”), seeking clarification of Wayfair protections.

 

  • The lawsuit challenges recent actions taken by the DOR against Amazon sellers to collect past sales taxes that Amazon, not the individual merchants, owes.
  • The lawsuit also challenges the assertion that Amazon choosing to store a small business owner’s inventory within Pennsylvania, or any other state, is sufficient presence in the state to allow the state to demand income tax.
  • Taken to its logical conclusion, a small business owner shipping 30 items to one Amazon facility in their home state and redistributed all over the country in Amazon’s facilities could potentially result in a tax compliance obligation for the small business that is on par with Amazon itself, who has hundreds of tax workers at its disposal.

 

Paul Rafelson, OMG’s Executive Director described the situation as seen by the Guild and its members.

 

“As detailed in our complaint this is yet another example of a state bullying small businesses in an attempt to make up for the misguided policy of allowing Amazon de-facto “most favored nation” status by allowing them for years to disregard their obligations to collect sales tax on items sold through their store. This overreaching pursuit of out of state small businesses with no connections to the state instead of the politically connected Amazon has led to violations of our members’ civil rights.

 

Now these states want to cover some of their losses by going after small out-of-state businesses, with complete disregard for the unconstitutionality of said actions. This is a clear civil rights violation impacting hundreds of thousands of small businesses trying to eke out a living. It is simply easier to use threats to extract tax revenue from a small businesses than go up against Amazon a company viewed tax avoidance as a key competitive advantage from the beginning as evidenced by the following comment made by Jeff Bezos to Fast Company back in 1996

 

“I even investigated whether we could set up Amazon.com on an Indian reservation near San Francisco. This way we could have access to talent without all the tax consequences. Unfortunately, the government thought of that first”

While I’m disappointed that yet another state is trying to reach across state lines into FBA merchants pockets I am very proud of our members for coming together in such a short timeframe to make challenging this overreach in court possible. We look forward to continuing to fight on behalf of our members as well as the entire FBA merchant community”

 

OMG will be represented by the following attorneys in this matter:

David Wilk of Lepley, Engelman, Yaw & Wilk (Williamsport, PA)

Aaron Block of the Block Firm, LLC (Atlanta, GA)

Paul Rafelson of Rafelson Schick, PLLC (Boca Raton, FL).

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injuries – Everything people Need to Know

0

Overview

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is part of the knee. It is susceptible to various injuries that cause severe pain and reduced range of motion.

An ACL injury occurs when the ligament gets stretched beyond its capacity, which leads to tearing. Most commonly, ACL injuries develop during active sports that involve jumping and explosive movements.

Interestingly, 70% of ACL injuries develop without any direct contact to the knee.

In the United States, ACL injuries affect 1 in 3,000 people. The incidence is higher in younger individuals who engage in active sports.

In this article, we will cover the causes, symptoms, and treatment options of ACL…

The causes of ACL injuries

As mentioned above, ACL injuries occur after performing activities that involve explosive movements.

Here are some scenarios that increase the risk of ACL injuries:

  • Sudden acceleration, deceleration, or changes in direction of motion
  • A direct blow to the knee, especially from the side
  • Overstretching the knee

Furthermore, ACLT injuries occur during sports that involve a lot of turning and twisting, such as:

  • Soccer
  • Football
  • Basketball
  • Tennis
  • Skiing

The signs and symptoms of ACL injury

ACL injuries present with a variety of signs and symptoms. The most notable symptom is severe pain, followed by a popping sound, which occurs when the ACL gets torn.

Other symptoms of an ACL injury include:

  • Swelling
  • Inability to extend the knee
  • Inability to place weight on the leg
  • Soreness around the knee
  • Discomfort when walking

The treatment of ACL injuries

After examining your injury and confirming the diagnosis, your doctor may recommend the following measures:

  • Elevating the foot above the level of your head to prevent blood from accumulating and reduce swelling
  • Applying an ice pack on the side of the injury
  • Taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g., ibuprofen) to reduce the swelling

Besides these temporary measures, the doctor will assess ACL injuries on a case-to-case basis to determine the most appropriate therapeutic modality.

For young individuals, surgery may be necessary to ensure a full recovery. Arthroscopy allows your surgeon to repair the damaged portion of the ACL using a tiny tube equipped with a camera and a source of light. The tools get inserted inside your knee joint via small incisions.

In general, the surgeon removes the damaged part of the ACL and grafts a new ligament. The graft ligament could be obtained from your body, a donor’s body, or made synthetically.

Aside from surgery, the following treatments may be beneficial, especially when the knee retains its stability:

  • Using crutches to keep weight off the knee while the ACL repairs itself
  • Wearing a brace to stabilize the knee joint
  • Enrolling in physical therapy sessions to strengthen the muscles around the knee and restore a full articular range of motion

Takeaway message

ACL injuries are fairly common among young adults who engage in explosive sports and strenuous physical activity.

We hope that this article managed to highlight the main aspects of this injury. However, if you still have questions in mind about ACL injury, please don’t hesitate to share your thoughts in the comment section below.

The Toll of COVID-19 on Communities of Color by Anthony Grullon

0

USA, March 2, 2021 The coronavirus pandemic is exacerbating America’s pre-existing conditions, chief among them, structural racism. Early statistics reveal the disturbing and disproportionate toll this pandemic is taking on the health and wealth of low-income and minority groups. And yet, these communities disproportionately perform many of the essential services currently sustaining our society.

In the U.S., wealth correlates with race: the typical White family has 10x the wealth of Black families and 7x that of Latinx families. This reinforces the need to discuss lower-income and racial minority communities collectively. Social distancing, the primary public health recommendation for COVID-19, is a luxury for these communities, who cannot easily telework or engage in long-distance education per social distancing guidelines. As a result, the wealth inequalities along racial lines continue as racial minorities, who already earn less than their White peers, hold jobs that are more vulnerable to loss during the pandemic.

From a health standpoint, a closer look at racial minority groups reflects unfortunate and disproportionate representation in at-risk settings. For example, Black Americans constitute only 12% of the U.S. population but comprise 40% of the homeless population and 33% of the prison inmate population in 2020. The homeless community does not have access to sanitary resources, has more pre-existing comorbidities, and experiences higher hospitalization rates. Similarly, prisoners live in close quarters, which speed the rate of transmission.

Meanwhile, these same low-income minority communities disproportionately perform a large share of the essential services that our society depends on. As mentioned, working from home is a privilege. Research shows only 16.2% of Hispanic and 19.7% of Black workers can telework. Moreover, only 9.2% of those in the lowest quartile of the wage distribution can telework compared to 61.5% in the highest. These populations have to show up to work. Why? Their work is essential. Black Americans, for example, constitute 15% of the entire essential workforce. Similarly, one in three jobs held by women has been deemed essential, and women of color, especially, are more likely to work in low-wage frontline healthcare positions–as nursing assistants, orderlies, home health aides, etc.–where they are most at risk of contracting the virus. Beyond the healthcare sector, grocery store cashiers, delivery men and women, meat plant workers, too, tend to be low-income minority individuals who must continue to work, frequently under questionable conditions.

As a nation, those we are relying on the most are the most exposed, and therefore, we all are.

Chicago – Dr. Tyra Hodge is already a famous motivational speaker and abehavioral specialist.

The trailer is out now, offering a sneak peek of what awaits the readers. The book will guide leaders about the seven different leadership styles, from a Super Alpha to Hyena. It will help leaders in communicating their ideas to the subordinates.

“I have over these years, found people complaining of the lack of commitment from each member in the team. They might not be aware of the ways they could get their thoughts across to their team members. There are many leaders craving to achieve more from their team. My upcoming book, Hellhound, is a great solution for leaders. Every team has potential, but how good is their output depends on the team’s leader. Are you cut for the role, or are you just picking it up? I have written about it all,” states Dr. Tyra Hodge herself.

The book explains a lot about the characteristics the team members must also have. Only a strong set of team players contribute to any fun and excitement. The book focuses on seven traits or styles of leadership that every head must possess. The unique fashion of explaining these terms in doggy lexicons makes for great fun.

But it takes only a smart head to make this manpower to a highly-functioning group. My book, Hellhound, will open your eyes to the seven different types of leadership skills. It will also help you discover yourself as a company or a team leader. Do your subordinates listen to you? If they do not, then it is time you change something about you. I have listed out the problems and the solutions from my own experience and knowledge. I have gained insight into what works for the teams to succeed. Behind every successful project is a welcome change a person might have made. The book is aimed to do that for you too.”

The book will release on 1 March 2021 and will be available online and offline. Humans are social animals, and to work in a team, one must make themselves aware of these traits, as discussed in the book, Hellhound: 7 Leadership Styles Explained in Doggy Terms.

Author L.C. RENIE Talks About Self-Publishing Books – Self-Publishing Interview

0

USA, March 1, 2021 15 years-ago authors who had written books and couldn’t get an agent or publishing deal would throw their works of art in the cupboard to gather dust. Now, roll on to 2021 the publishing world just like the music world has changed.

No longer do authors need to find an agent or a publishing how to publish their books. Thanks to the self-publishing industry, authors can now cut out the middleman and have full control over their books.

The number of self-published books topped the 1 million mark for the first time in 2017, showing how popular self-publishing has become. In 2018, the number of self-published books on the market had jumped by 40%, and each year the self-publishing industry continues to grow.

But what is it like to self-publish a book, and why do authors self-publish instead of finding an agent or publishing house? We decided to find out and speak to L.C. RENIE, who has been described as one of the most exciting new authors on the planet. She is set to release her new novel in 2022 “Tides Beneath Unshattered Love”.

“Tides Beneath Unshattered Love” tells the story of Dr. Alexandria Belmont who will question her lifelong friendship with Samantha. She will discover the connection between sultry-voiced Alessio, Samantha, and her ex-husband, Frederick Montgomery.

Instead of going to a publishing house, L.C. RENIE plans to self-publish her new book. She wants to have full control over her book, and believe self-publishing is the best option for her.

This is what L.C. RENIE had to say about self-publishing

1. Have you always felt driven to write? I’m a late bloomer, so the answer is no.

2. Are there particular authors or books that you find particularly inspiring? Yes, T.D. Jakes, Joyce Myers, Sidney Sheldon, Terry McMillian, Mary Higgins Clark, Sandra Brown, Nora Roberts books, just to name a few since you asked, but I enjoy reading a lot of indie authors books as well.

3. Tell me about your writing journey? My writing journey starts with spiritual notes writing, but writing about real issues and solutions in a fiction novel is refreshing and unapologetic.

4. Why did you choose to self-publish? In the indie authors social media community blogs, you hear different experiences and wonder why a common book publish practice exist… good, bad, or indifference.

5. Did you try the traditional route first? Not with my exploration memoir, I was testing the water in writing thinking it was a whim, but right after a few months later I found myself writing a romance manuscript. “Tides Beneath Unshattered Love PARIS” novella less than 50,000 words are the first novel to be release by L.C. RENIE. Hopefully, traditional publishing, but options are available.

6. Would you have taken the opportunity to go down the traditional route if you were approached by an agent? Absolutely!!!

7. What can people expect when self-publishing their book? Hard work first of all, it’s No cake walk in the park. Must think like a small business entrepreneur with some kind of business knowledge and management blueprint plan how to get editing services and the heavy lifting is marketing your brand: name and book discoverability. Research the-how-to-do agenda list and unwise to procrastinate and have a solution with writer block syndrome. Take necessary non-credit business / marketing seminar classes if needed; knowledge is power.

8. What would you say the benefits are self-publishing are? In control of administration and finance (royalties). However, the downside is marketing discoverability to sell books in brick and mortar stores without a marketing strategy plan.

9. What would you consider to be some of the cons of traditional publishing and self-publishing? To focus on the traditional publishing means established publishing house, they require an author to have a literary agent representation and do not accept manuscript from authors, only work with literary. Self-publishing you must research how to submit author manuscript based on submission requirements. Disadvantages: is reviewed differently based on priorities. Self-publishing is an author publishing solo.

10. Have you researched the cost of self-publishing? Yes, the cost varies base on how much an author is willing to invest in their book publishing project.

11. How did you choose which company to self-publish your book? The process is frustrating and time consuming because you have to research and know what each company is offering to compare in printing service options.

12. Can you tell me how many books you will originally publish, and how much it will cost you? I can’t give any numbers at this time, but any author must be prepared to spend the most on editing and marketing services.

13. On top of the cost of self-publishing your book, what other costs are involved? Editing services, Graphic designers, Copyright materials, ISBN’s, etc.

14. What profit do you hope to make from each book? I’m inspire to share my heartfelt thoughts as a priority. However, the profit a blessing.

15. Have you found that self-published authors are wary of perhaps giving up their creative freedom in order to sign with a big publishing house? Choosing a publishing house is a decision each author must consider the advantages or not. If so, why do you think this is? I hold no opinion on creative freedom.

16. What is the first thing someone should do before approaching a publishing company to self-publish? Do your due diligence.

17. Finally, do you have any advice for writers looking to self-publish? Be patient. Operate as an entrepreneur small business. Invest the time to develop a blueprint business and marketing plan. #Writerlift #Writingcommunity #Authorssupportauthors #Creativewriting

The Grow Bank: Swiss reliability and absolute modernity

0

USA, March 1, 2021 Swiss bank Grow enters the market with it’s DeFi DAO – a project that will change your entire view of the banking system!

In easy words, Grow Bank is a full-fledged mobile bank app for managing your funds, including in the form of cryptocurrency assets. But in fact, Grow is ready to provide much more.

Naturally, the first thing we think about before entrusting our funds to someone is, of course, reliability. Grow has a classic banking license, EMI & FCA, and its users are protected by Swiss law. Each user opens an IBAN account, supports transfers by requisites, SWIFT, SEPA, 64 fiat currencies.

The incredible interest of individuals in fintech and the stock market is changing the way we understand banking products. The request for a fair distribution of profits from the bottom up can no longer be ignored. This is evidenced by the next historical peaks in cryptocurrencies, decentralized DeFi instruments and anarchic short-quotes by individuals bankrupting greedy hedge funds.

The current market conditions are more than favourable for the launch of fintech services, primarily focused on the profits of the average investor and user. The Grow project was announced as a hybrid of the best that you can get from NEO bank: reliability, convenience, integration with digital assets and readiness to fairly share profits with clients. But first things first.

Everything is clear with fiat money, but what about cryptocurrency? In addition to providing traditional banking services, Grow Bank is also a secure multi-currency crypto-purse that supports more than 20 popular cryptocurrencies, with the possibility of conversion with minimal fees and “smart-dividends”. The most interesting thing is that the Swiss fintech is ready to generously share its earnings from commissions with users.

What’s with the blockchain? Imagine that you own one share of a large top-10 bank. The share is a piggy bank, which is replenished with a kopeck every time some bank customer made a transaction to exchange cryptocurrency with the most cost-effective in the market commission, up to 0,1%-1%, withdrawal of fiat funds via SEPA or SWIFT payment, cash withdrawals from ATMs of third-party banks, and so on.

In this case, the distribution of income from transactions per share (in this case a digital asset of the bank) is as transparent as possible. The distribution takes place without board meetings or financial reports. It happens instantly. Does that sound fantastic? However, thanks to Ethereum blockchain, it becomes a reality and the Grow project plans to share its revenues honestly and transparently with holders of the internal digital currency within the DAO community.

Grow is issuing 100 million tokens, the price of which will be truly fair. And the project is ready to enter the market in Q1 2021. Agreements with exchanges has been signed and very soon Grow Bank token will be listed on Balancer, Uniswap and 3 more centralized exchanges.

The project team is working tirelessly to provide its users with enhanced opportunities for preserving and increasing their capital, and already in February 2021 it will be possible to open a bank account, and order a bank card, purchase tokens and use the services of an exchanger.

The commission on transactions within the bank will be 0%, including deposits from other banks. Withdrawals cryptocurrencies to the Grow card has zero fee, fees for fiat-fiat, fiat-crypto, crypto-fiat, crypto-crypto conversion and withdrawals from the bank to third-party banks will be 0.1–1% depending on the transaction volume.

The fair rate of Grow’s digital unit will be recalculated by a blockchain algorithm once a day, most of the bank’s fee income will be distributed by a smart contract to all the digital currency tokens issued by Grow Bank. Tokens can be sold or exchanged within the Neo Bank system at any time.

The turnover of the bank’s digital unit placed on third-party DeFi platforms will be regulated by a trading bot that buys tokens at a fair price, i.e. a price equal to the sum of the corresponding amount of deductions from transactions in the system at the current moment.

The current token rate will be displayed in the application. The bot will insure against token falling or rising too sharply, thus preventing the token from turning into a speculative instrument and ensuring continuous liquidity.

Behind the bot technology is ideological and legal protection in the form of the Swiss central bank’s insurance and neo-banking technologies, which have nothing to do with HYIPs but are set up to manage internal liquidity in customer bank accounts.

Within the framework of strict regulation client’s funds cannot be misused, and clients themselves can make speculative transactions within the regulated limits, allowing to get a reasonable return on investment of funds in Grow Bank. The creators of Grow themselves call their model «smart dividends», where the wealth of each Grow digital unit holder grows in proportion to the increase in transactions in the system. Another neologism for the Grow token is Growcoin, similar to Stablecoin.

Interest in blockchain is moving to a new level, but now without the hype of private investors. This time, instead of crypto-anarchists, the blockchain economy is being pushed forward by governments, banks and progressive fintechs. Neo banks are able to build a new economy, the main principles of which will not be greed of shareholders, but a fair business model, the successful development of which will benefit everyone.

Perhaps it is the Grow Bank that will become the first stable and progressive instrument in the modern banking sphere. If you are tired of the problems of traditional banks and their lagging behind the requirements of modern economy, grow with Grow. Now is the time.
