Derby are rumoured to currently be under a soft transfer embargo, while Wednesday owner Dejphon Chasiri has warned the same restrictions could be imposed at Hillsborough this summer if the club is not able to find a way to meet regulations.
Wednesday were under a transfer embargo for the bulk of the off-season in 2018 before it was eventually lifted, which allowed them to sign Michael Hector and Josh Onomah on deadline day loan deals until the end of the season.
Fellow Championship club Birmingham City were docked points this campaign for signing Kristian Pedersen while under an embargo last summer.
Gibson is set to address the other 23 Championship clubs in the meeting next week and has informed the EFL of his concerns.
Middlesbrough have suffered a poor run of form in recent weeks, with Tony Pulis’ men dropping out of the play-off places to seventh in the league.
At the last meeting of league representatives at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground, Gibson reportedly voiced his frustration at the financial situation across the Championship.
All its design software such as AutoCAD, 3D Max, Maya, Flame are now available on annual and quarterly subscription to its customers.
Inspired by the successful transition of Adobe, Intuit and Microsoft’s business model—from sale of licenses to an ongoing subscription model—US-based technology firm Autodesk, which has been selling standalone perpetual licences for its popular software products, has moved to a subscription-only model. All its design software such as AutoCAD, 3D Max, Maya, Flame are now available on annual and quarterly subscription to its customers.
The company, whose software are primarily used by architects, engineers, and structural designers to design, draft, and model buildings, took this strategic decision in early 2016. It recently launched an e-store in India to sell its products based on this model. Now, designers, students and engineering professionals in India can buy Autodesk software online on monthly subscription basis. “The cost of acquiring Autodesk software has significantly gone down. What once used to cost R2-5 lakh is now available for as low as R3000 a month,” said Pradeep Nair, managing director, Autodesk India.
According to Nair, buying a software on a perpetual basis was a relatively expensive proposition. So Autodesk has moved everything to a subscription model, so that customers do not have to buy upfront but pay only for the time that they use it.
As expected, this subscription-based lower cost model seems to have discouraged piracy and encouraged users to move to Autodesk from other platforms. According to its third-quarter results, globally, subscriptions have grown to nearly 3 million, including 2.1 million maintenance subscriptions and 861,000 “new model” product subscriptions. Company officials believe some of these subscribers people were previously using pirated software, but now with a much more affordable option with product subscriptions, they have started buying licensed products.
Currently, Autodesk in India sells it software through a network of business partners, but company executives believe that the newly launched e-store offers an opportunity to scale up it sales in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. “If you are in Lucknow and do not know who the Autodesk partner is in that territory, you can still have access to our software because all you need to do is to go to the Autodesk e-store,” said Nair.
Although the company did not divulge its India revenue, over the past year, it has increased its focus on India, showing interest in the government’s Smart Cities project. “India is a very important market for us and it has been significantly contributing to the company’s growth year-on-year. Indian construction, engineering, manufacturing and media firms have been using Autodesk software for many years for better designing, manufacturing better products and creating stunning visual effects,” said Nair.
In February 2016, the company signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the government of Maharashtra for making its software available to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the state. So far, more than 2,000 users and 2,000 SMEs in Maharashtra have taken advantage of this programme. They have started using Autodesk Fusion 360 software, which is a cloud-based platform that helps companies in product development.
“These are the customers that we never sold to in the past. They have come on board in the last six months. It gives us an opportunity to venture into unexplored territory,” said Nair.
The California-headquartered 3D technology firm, also sees huge potential in Indian start-ups. It has been running a programme called Entrepreneur Invite (EI) in which it offers its proprietary software to selected start-ups for free, usually for three years. Maker’s Asylum of Mumbai, Workbench Projects of Bangalore and Pragati Designs, a Chennai based firm among others have participated in this project. “Our focus is on the start-ups that have a social impact with their products and are focused on using design as a differentiator to build better products,” said Nair.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sae-A Trading Co., Ltd (Sae-A), a leading global apparel manufacturer and exporter headquartered in South Korea, today marked a new day in Haiti by opening its factory, S&H Global, in the Caracol Industrial Park. The factory opening took place with a ceremony attended by 500 guests from Haiti, the US government, and Sae-A's other partners. The official ground-breaking for Sae-A's kindergarten, primary and middle school, S&H School (l'Ecole S&H), also took place today.
Attending today's ceremony, entitled 'A New Day in Haiti,' were representatives from Sae-A's partners: the US State Department, The Government of Haiti, and the Inter-American Development Bank. Moreover, key attendees at today's ceremony included US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton; Former President of the United States, Bill Clinton, President of Haiti, Michel Martelly and President of the Inter-American Development Bank, Luis Alberto Moreno. Additionally, investors such as Richard Branson, the Head of Virgin Group and celebrities like Sean Penn, Ben Stiller, and Donna Karan attended the event.
Sae-A is the first and largest tenant in the Caracol Industrial Park, and this highly anticipated factory is slated to create 20,000 jobs by 2016. Currently operating 24 sewing lines, the factory will have 288 sewing lines at full capacity.
Sae-A's commitment of technical expertise is expected to elevate Haiti's apparel manufacturing industry to help make it a world class leader. Its training programs are designed to provide valuable skill-sets to the previously unemployed unskilled workforce, and its investment of machinery and equipment will not only accomplish the above, but will also directly support the livelihoods of 100,000 to 120,000 Haitians.
In 2010, Sae-A was approached by the United States Secretary of State to take part in an opportunity to help galvanize Haiti's economy through the Caracol Industrial Park. An MOU was signed between Sae-A and the Government of Haiti, the US Government and the Inter-American Development Bank on January 11, 2011. Ground was then broken on November 29, 2011 to begin construction.
Today also marks the ground-breaking of S&H School (l'Ecole S&H), which is set to open in October 2013. More specifically, S&H School (l'Ecole S&H) will serve 390 kindergarten, primary and middle school students residing near Caracol. A retired Haitian-American middle school principal from the New York City area, recruited through the City University of New York, has joined the project from early 2012.
The school is being built in collaboration with the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) who helped to assess local Haitian education needs. Sae-A's industrial complex investment and school construction project serve as a dual-purpose model for creating jobs and improving the educational infrastructure in the region.
S&H School (l'Ecole S&H) represents one of many community-oriented initiatives undertaken by Sae-A. In August of this year, Sae-A sponsored a team of 20 medical experts from Chonnam National University Hospital on a 10 day journey to Haiti. This team treated over 4,000 patients across several disciplines including obstetrics, gynecology, pediatrics, internal medicine and dermatology.
Believing that investment in talent reaps great rewards, Sae-A donated 120 professional, industrial quality sewing machine-table workstations and sewing supplies to the training institutes set up and run by USAID (INDEPCO) in Trop du Nord and Caracol in June of 2012.
Further to the aforementioned programs, Sae-A has also been active in providing relief services. Immediately following the 2010 earthquake, Sae-A donated over 100,000 garments to the Haitian government as part of international relief efforts. Sae-A also provided 12,000 hygiene kits and a 4.5 ton cargo truck for medical supply transportation in the summer of 2011, when the country was fighting a deadly cholera epidemic and still recovering from the devastating impacts of the earthquake.
Established in 1986, Sae-A Trading Co., Ltd is one of the largest apparel manufacturing companies in the world exporting over 1.3 billion US dollars worth of products from facilities in Guatemala, Nicaragua, Indonesia, Vietnam, and China. Sae-A employs over 30,000 associates of its own and another 20,000 associates at partner facilities.

For only the second time since taking office, Mayor de Blasio will host a town hall on Thursday to hash out issues with everyday New Yorkers.
The focus of the town hall, at Public School 69 in Jackson Heights, Queens, will be on education, but City Hall says that all questions will be answered.
In addition to de Blasio, City Councilman Daniel Dromm — who represents the district — and parent groups will attend.
The town hall is open to anyone, but officials suggest calling Dromm's office at (718) 803-6373 to guarantee a spot.
Earlier today, the Election Commission had handed similar orders to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Mayawati.
Azam Khan has been sparring with Jaya Prada ever since she joined the BJP on March 26.
After Yogi Adityanath and Mayawati, the Election Commission barred two more senior political leaders for violation of the Model Code of Conduct this evening. Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan has been barred from campaigning for three days starting tomorrow for his "indecent and derogatory" comment against Jaya Prada, the Election Commission order said. Another senior political leader, the BJP's Union minister Maneka Gandhi, has been barred from campaigning for 48 hours for communal comments, the Commission said.
The Commission's action came hours after the Supreme Court pulled it up for failing to take action in cases of Model Code violation and questioning if it knew what powers it has to punish errant political leaders.
Maneka Gandhi, the BJP candidate from Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh, had asked a gathering of Muslims to vote for her, saying otherwise else she might not be inclined to be responsive to their requests.
In a clip of her speech, the lawmaker from Pilibhit can be heard saying: "If my victory is without Muslims, I won't feel that good... Then when a Muslim comes to me for work, I think, 'Let it be, how does it matter'? It's all give and take, isn't it? We aren't all sons of Mahatma Gandhi, are we? (laughs). It's not that we keep on giving and then losing in the election. This victory will happen with or without you".
The Commission said the minister who handles the Women and Child Development portfolio, violated the rules that bar appeal to caste and communal feelings, as well as one that bans "corrupt practices" like bribery and intimidation.
In case of Azam Khan, the Commission said his comments on electoral rival Jaya Prada "may be construed as being repugnant to the hour and dignity of women". Taking note of a ban on the leader in 2014, the Commission said he has not "changed his way of campaigning and he is indulging in using very objectionable language".
The three-day ban on Azam Khan will cut down heavily on the Samajwadi leader's campaign time. Elections in Rampur will be held on April 23 and the campaigning has to end by the evening of April 20. It would leave him only two days to campaign.
Elections for Sultanpur, from where Maneka Gandhi is contesting, will be held on May 12.
Earlier today, the Commission had handed similar orders to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Mayawati.
While neither of them are contesting in the election, Mayawati was expected to address a rally in Agra on Tuesday. Yogi Adityanath, the star campaigner of the BJP after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, would miss a couple of rallies in Uttar Pradesh and several outside the state.
PARIS (AFP) - Tintin turned 90 on Thursday (Jan 10) but the boy hero is not retiring his zest for adventure.
Casterman, which publishes his comic-book exploits, said a film featuring the cub reporter by director Peter Jackson is in the pipeline.
Steven Spielberg, who made Tintin's first Hollywood outing in 2011's The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn, is producing this time.
A new Tintin book is also in the works.
Jackson has been tight-lipped on what adventure or adventures he would draw on for the film.
"There are so many good stories, and I just want to see what I feel like making. There are so many choices, and I couldn't tell you today which way I'm going," he added.
The first Tintin cartoons appeared in Belgian Catholic journal Le Petit Vingtième on Jan 10, 1929.
How’s this for an evening’s entertainment: watching cartoon germs and human cells do battle inside the body of a fat, ill zookeeper played by Bill Murray? It didn’t appeal much to other people, either, and Osmosis Jones belly-flopped in 2001. Despite its moderately revolting plot, however, the half-animated, half-live-action film actually garnered decent reviews (the New York Times called Murray “heroic in his willingness to sacrifice dignity and even humanity to get a laugh.”) The film also boasted a high-powered cast, including Chris Rock, David Hyde Pierce and Ron Howard (in person or in voice). But the movie just didn’t cough up at the box office: the $75 million flick took in just $14 million in theaters.
President Obama has promised people who liked their current doctor and health-care plan would be able to keep it as the Affordable Care continues to get implemented, but that’s proving not to be the case for many Americans.
Insurance companies have sent out hundreds of thousands of letters to consumers in recent months cancelling their health-care plans.
Kaiser Health News reports the cancelled policies “fall short” of the essential health benefits the ACA requires all plans include beginning Jan. 1, and are therefore not eligible for sale on the state and federally-run exchanges.
The law requires plans to include coverage for maternity care, ambulatory services, prescription medications and more, additions that critics say will drive up premium costs for policyholders who may never use them.
Among the insurance companies terminating policies are Kaiser Permanente in California, which sent notices to 160,000 policy holders; Highmark Pittsburgh, which dropped 20% of its individual market customers; and Independence Blue Cross, a major insurer in Philadelphia, eliminating 45% of its individual policies, Kaiser reports. The biggest hit comes in Florida, where insurer Florida Blue has dropped 300,000 policies.
In some cases, policies for those with pre-existing conditions were terminated while other customers faced price increases since the rollout of the new insurance exchanges, according to Kaiser. Beginning in mid-September, for example, Blue Shield of California sent nearly 119,000 cancellation notices to individuals, and nearly two-thirds of this group were notified of rate increases, the nonprofit news service reports.
“Florida Blue is proactively communicating to these members to help them understand how this transition affects them. Prior to their 2014 renewal date, each member will receive a letter that instructs them to contact Florida Blue to review their migration options. These new plans will offer members access to more comprehensive benefits in 2014. It is important to note that a person's individual situation will be the key driver of what they will pay for coverage under the ACA. Subsidies will be available in the marketplace to lower the cost of coverage for eligible individuals, and the amount an individual will pay could vary significantly once his or her specific age, area in which they live, smoking status, family size, and income are factored in,” Lowell Weiner, Vice President, Corporate Communications for Florida Blue, said in an email message to FOXBusiness.com.
Yevgeniy Feyman, Manhattan Institute Scholar, says the cancellations are just insurance companies trying to maintain the best business model.
While the policy termination numbers coming out of Florida are staggering, Feyman says they are likely just the start.
Insurance companies will likely have off-exchange alternatives, according to Feyman, which will have the same plan structure as what they offer on the exchange, without exchange-based fees. This means they may be a few dollars less, but consumers shopping for coverage off of the ACA exchanges won’t qualify for subsidies.
Subsidies for plans on the federal and state-run exchanges are available for those making up to 400% of the federal poverty level, which is about $45,000 for an individual and $94,000 for a family of four annually, according to the Kaiser Foundation’s subsidy calculator.
While insurance companies knew of the changes coming under the new health-care law for awhile, Feyman says it’s likely the letters are being sent out now to cancel policies because they’re close to expiring. But in some cases, Feyman says benefits may be better under new plans, even if they cost more.
TWO goals from Loic Remy was not enough for Newcastle to overcome a determined Hull side, as strikes from Robbie Brady, Sone Aluko and Ahmed Elmohamady gave Steve Bruce a win against the side he supported as a boy.
The last time Bruce travelled to St James' Park, as boss of Sunderland, he suffered a humiliating 5-1 loss, and stingy defence laid the platform for Hull's victory on this occasion.
Hull came from behind twice after Remy scored either side of Brady's equaliser but the second half belonged to the Tigers, and it would be hard to argue that goals from Elmohamady and an excellent volley from Aluko were undeserved.
QPR loanee Remy looked determined to justify Joe Kinnear's faith in him and showed his predatory instincts after just 10 minutes, when a mistimed Papiss Cisse volley looped up off the turf and the Frenchman reacted quickest to head home and put Newcastle in front. The opening goal spurred Hull into life after a slow start and they got their reward in the 26th minute.
First Danny Graham tested Tim Krul, and then Robbie Brady got an equaliser for the Tigers after being set up on the edge of the box by Sone Aluko.
Graham was unlucky again with just over five minutes remaining in the half, miscontrolling a great ball from Tom Huddlestone when clean through.
And Remy made Hull pay somewhat against the run of play four minutes later, capitalising on a blocked shot from Yohan Cabaye to curl home and restore Newcastle's lead heading into half-time. Three minutes into the second half Hull were level again with Brady again involved.
Elmohamady got the faintest of flicks onto a Brady free-kick but it was enough to take the ball past Krul and into the Newcastle net. Newcastle did not respond well to the equaliser, failing to hold onto the ball in the face of a strong defensive effort from Hull. Hull took the lead for the first time in the game with 76 minutes gone.
Aluko got on the end of a George Boyd cross and sent a superb volley in off the post from 18 yards out.
Hull were looking good value for their lead but they could have come away with only a point when Remy had a good chance to score for Newcastle with only injury time remaining, but the Frenchman poked wide.
A key Republican in Texas’ congressional delegation said Thursday that passing comprehensive immigration reform is possible next session, but conceded it would still be a contentious endeavor.
U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Austin, also said that after initially fearing that Mexico could revert to its former ways of corruption following its July 1 election, the country’s president-elect, Enrique Peña Nieto, has made encouraging remarks regarding the future of the country.
McCaul, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations and Management, spoke at the University of Texas at Austin’s Global Security Summit and told reporters that after the GOP’s less-than-stellar performance Tuesday, his party was going to have to move forward and work with President Obama’s administration for the good of the country. Hispanics turned out in large numbers Tuesday, helping propel Obama to a second term. Analysts say that the Republican Party’s tough stance on immigration helped turn the tide in Obama’s favor.
The current system, he added, allows bright students to study in the U.S. only to have to return to their home countries after they graduate because the cap on visas is too low.
Asked about the millions in the country without student or high-skilled worker visas, McCaul said they would probably cause a more volatile conversation.
“Honestly, that’s going to be a very contentious issue to deal with. That’s most likely going to come up in the next Congress, and we’re going to have to figure out how best to deal with that,” he said.
On Mexico, McCaul has been very outspoken with concerns that the nation's government would return to its former iron-fisted and corrupt methods of ruling if the Institutional Revolutionary Party returned to power. Its candidate, Peña Nieto, the former governor of the state of Mexico, won the election handily, but McCaul said he is more optimistic now about the country’s direction. Part of that optimism stems from Peña Nieto’s invitation to a former Colombian general who worked closely with the United States to rid the South American country of drug violence in the 1990s.
