Article: It is not uncommon for patent or copyright owners to sue for infringement, so you should make sure that your accounting methods are in line with your royalty agreements. By communicating clearly with your licensor and following the contract, you can avoid a lot of additional cost and legal hassle down the road. For example, some a licensee may forget to incorporate consideration of their business model (payment timing, tax structure, etc.) in the contract. This may result in unintentionally low or late payments to the licensor. In this case, the licensee would likely lose a court case over the royalties owed and be liable for more costs. Artists or patent-holders can and will ask for proof of sales, use and payments. Paperwork saved should include, in addition to the original contract, any ledger entries, financial statements, sales or payments receipts, and any additions or alterations made to the original agreement. Either party to a royalty agreement may at any point verbally suggest or institute a change to the contract. If this change is not properly incorporated into the accounting procedures and the official contract, this may result in your licensor demanding additional payments due to a verbal agreement that you have no official record of. Be sure to institute a policy of formally adding and verifying any contract revisions to avoid this situation. Electronic payments are sometimes less detailed than paper checks. Whenever you reconcile accounts, your bank statements will reflect all royalty payments made by checks.

Article: You will need to bring it to a boil and sterilize your jars in the water for at least 10 minutes. Keep the jars warm until you are ready to pour in the tomato sauce. Pour boiling water over them to sterilize them. Remove any rotten or bruised tomatoes for immediate use. Prepare large ice bath beside the stove top. When the skins split, they are done. Place them in the ice bath. Take a knife and core the tomatoes by slicing the center top of the tomato with a circular cut. Slice them in half or keep them whole for canning. You can substitute with one-half tsp. of citric acid. Wipe them and place them on the counter. Fill the jars with tomatoes and boiling water, leaving 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) headspace. Wipe the tines with a damp paper towel. Place them in the water bath to seal for 45 minutes. Remove them and place them on your counter to cool before storing.

Article: To become a health visitor, you must be trained as a nurse (or midwife). Although entry requirements will be different depending on the school or university you attend, you'll probably need 5 GCSEs (General Certificate of Secondary Education) of Grade C and above. This should include English literature or language and a science subject. If you're taking a degree program, you'll probably need to have at least 2 A-Level qualifications. Once you've completed any pre-registration programs, you'll need to move forward to become a registered nurse. You can choose any nursing specialty (such as adult, child, learning disability or mental health) after you complete your nursing requirements. If you have any previous medical experience, talk with the admissions office about whether any credits will apply towards your program. Most nursing programs take about 3 years to complete. You can sometimes fulfill the health visitor requirement of becoming a trained nurse by becoming a midwife. Some schools that offer medical degrees offer degrees in midwifery. You can enroll in a midwifery training program if you have at least five A through C GCSEs. If you have three A-Levels, you can immediately apply for a midwifery degree. Most midwifery degrees in the UK take 3 years to complete (if doing it full-time). Midwifery degrees in Scotland take 4 years to complete. After you've finished your program, your university will automatically send the NMC your basic information and the course details. You'll be notified about a week after the NMC confirms this information. Once you've received confirmation, you can then pay the registration fee of 120 and declare any criminal cautions or convictions. After the NMC approves your application, you should be on the register within 2 to 10 days. If you wait more than 6 months after completing your program to register with the NMC, you'll need to fill out a separate application to the NMC.
