My company has done custom programming for 25 years. For most of those years I have been trying to develop ways to communicate the benefits of our services.

My initial efforts were very simple: determine the time saved per week then calculate the total time and money saved over a 5 years.

But I have come to realize that things are not that simple. For example, saving an hour a day works fine if the hour is one contiguous hour. However, saving an hour of thirty 2 minute interruptions s at a time over the course of a day can be much more than a one hour’s savings. This example means 30 interruptions a day. The more concentration
required for a job, the greater the impact. In the programming field, it can take several minutes to "get back to where we started" when interrupted. This is not unlike being interrupted while taking a Calculus exam.

I am trying to develop a really comprehensive way to present the benefits of our services and any suggestions are welcome.

This question relates to U.K. law.

I am owed a small amount of money by someone who is rather lax about home security. I could probably enter his house through an open door, take a laptop or mobile and send a letter stating that I would return the item on payment of the money that he owes me.

I realise the onus might be on me to prove that the money is owed, but there is an unpaid invoice and a recorded letter stating that I intended to take further action in order to recover the debt. If my proposed action is illegal, what law does it violate? It would not be theft since I have no intention of permanently depriving the person of his property. It would not be breaking and entering if I entered through an open door.

Under these circumstances would it also be legal to snatch someone's mobile phone in the street?

An answer with a reference would be appreciated.

My husband and a friend of his are trying to start a business where they can offer dance lessons, but not many people show up. I want to know what the best way is to get more people to come, they are on a low budget so thats why they havent put an ad on the radio or tv, we've passed out fliers and so far there is no improvement. How do you start a business like this?

I live abroad and work with US firms paying me in private checks drawn from US banks. A few days after depositing each check, my bank pays me for it. However, I was told by my bank that a check can actually clear in the US bank from a few days after being sent to the US bank, to up to 5 years from issue(!!!), this means that a check can bounce even a few years after issue, in which case the sum i was paid would be taken out of my account, plus %interest. Can it be that international banking is so inefficient that my bank doesn't get acknowledged that the check was cleared, and the check can "stay in limbo" for years? Should i really worry for years, or a few months after depositing - i should be safe?
(To all those who answered my prev Q: Thanks! Your answers helped me ask my bank the right questions, and limit the unknown to this question only.)
