Management and Improvement in Processes

09 Mayıs 2013 4580 0 PROCESS ENGINEERING Fonksiyon360

Process is an activity to produce the desired outcome using specific inputs to produce added-value.

Process treats resources such as human, machine, material by contributing added-value to meet the customers desires.

Inputs of the process are raw material, information or demand.
Inputs are processed.
Outputs of the process are product or services.

Activities that produce added-value:

Activities that are contributing to customer demands are "real" added-value. Example: quick and accurate acceptance of customer order.

Activities that are contributing to organization demands are "internal" added-value. quick and accurate opening of purchase order.

Processes can be classified in two ways:

  • Operational
  • Managerial

A correct process had the following properties:

  • Process has ownership.
  • It has defined criterion.
  • It has defined priority.
  • It has internal-external customer definitions.
  • It is customer oriented.
  • It adds value.
  • It is understood by everyone.
  • It is measurable.
  • It can constantly be improved.

Measuring the processes performance is mandatory to be monitored.
Internal measurements shows the performance of the process.
2. Output measurements shows the output performance of the process.
3. Customer satisfaction measurements shows how the customer perceives process performance.

Various process criterion (leading-lagging) can be obtained (quality and error ratio, cycle time, customer satisfaction, activity). Another separation is financial and non-financial process measurements.

Process Hierarchy

1. Main business processes
2. Sub-processes
3. Detailed processes

Critical Processes:

  • Critical success factors are ways to make the organization different than the competitors in customers eye, enables the organization superior to competitors, strengthens and focuses.
  • Critical processes has the most important effect on critical success factors and are required to improve them.
  • Critical processes are the ones that organizations should take into account first and then improve.
  • Critical processes are determined by calculating the effect of upper and sub processes to critical success factors.
  • The difference between current situation and objectives in critical processes form the critical process region in decision matrix.
  • Reasons, effects on the jobs, transaction plans and objectives of critical processes should be identified.

Management with Processes

To analyze the processes first flow diagrams should be prepared and measurement are made to determine the current performance. Process flow diagrams can be structured in different dimensions (ranking flow diagram, responsibility flow diagram, information flow diagram)

Constant improvement of processes start by understanding the process. Management, identification and measurement of the system are applied for controllability and competition.

Re-organization of processes removes the activities without added-value and arranges added-value levels, simplifies them and help constant improvement.

To perform process change;

1. Inform the ones who are effected by the process
2. Transition to pilot application
3. Evaluating results
4. Standardization
5. Education
6. Dissemination
7. Monitoring efficiency and supervision

When the Process is Improved

1. Only steps that have added-value are taking into account
2. Decreasing control and decision steps
3. Using small number of high quality personnel
4. To remove re-processing steps establishing preventive and supervision systems
5. Eliminating repetitive activities

1. Composing early decision points
2. Multi lining, parallel job structure and starting as soon as possible, determining middle objectives
3. Multi-talent, team oriented work, increasing authority and responsibility, decreasing signatures, matrix organization
4. Using technology, automation, information access and processing and expert systems.

2 stocks to buy if the market crashes

With Wall Street falling around 2% on Thursday, I’ve spent some time getting up to speed on two stocks I really want to buy.

More on that in a moment, but first, the news…

The Aussie market unsurprisingly followed the US lead and traded lower on Friday. By the close of trade the S&P/ASX 200 Index (Index: ^AXJO) (ASX: XJO) had lost 1.4%, but was still managing to hold above the 5,500 level.

There will be many different theories and explanations for what caused the sudden sell-off, however one issue which certainly deserves some focus is the Argentinian debt crisis. 13 years ago Argentina defaulted on its debts and it appears this has just occurred again with the US Supreme Court ruling in favour of a group of hedge funds which hold a portion of Argentina’s reported $200 billion of total outstanding loans.

A number of previous significant market sell-offs can be traced back to originating from individual countries experiencing sudden debt crises. Whether global markets continue to fall next week remains to be seen and while there is arguably little point trying to guess whether a crash is imminent or not, it may be a good time to dust-off your ‘wishlist.’

Market crashes mean lower prices which can create fantastic buying opportunities in quality businesses for long-term investors.

So, now could be the time to think about stocks you’d love to buy, given the opportunity to pick them up at lower prices. Here are two stocks on my ‘wish list’.

ResMed Inc. (CHESS) (ASX: RMD) – the share price of the breathing device manufacturer suffered a double whammy fall on Friday, suffering not just from the general market sell-off but also after reporting lacklustre sales figures. Despite the slower than anticipated sales, ResMed remains (in my view) a very high quality company, capable of retaining its high profit margins and with above average growth opportunities. A lower share price could have the stock trading at a very undemanding multiple, considering the company’s intrinsic value.

Ramsay Health Care Limited (ASX: RHC) – with a total shareholder return (TSR) of 26.8% per annum for the past decade this is certainly one stock I wish I’d owned in the past. Ramsay’s sky high multiple continues to be a discouragement, however at a lower price I’d love to purchase this stock given its high quality business, defensive streams of earnings and large pipeline of growth options.

Get Ready!

Now's the time to have your buy list ready so you can act quickly when opportunities arise. In addition to ResMed and Ramsay there's another stock that's at the top of my list - it has a value price tag + growth + big dividends. Don't miss what could be the 'story stock' of 2014!

A month ago I kicked off a series reviewing a handful of dividend-paying companies in the S&P 500. I narrowed down a list of the five companies with the highest yield and the five with the fastest-growing dividend payments over the past 10 years to four companies that I thought were compelling enough for further research.

Today we take a look at payroll and human resource services provider Paychex (NASDAQ:PAYX). Paychex made the cut by growing its dividend more substantially (on a percentage basis) over the past 10 years than any other company in the S&P 500 save Intel (NASDAQ:INTC).

The business
The company's primary business is providing payroll services to companies with 100 or fewer employees. In its 10-K, Paychex estimates that 99% of the 7.4 million employers in the markets it serves have fewer than 100 employees, and only 15% to 20% of those employers currently contract with a payroll service provider.

From the raw industry numbers, you can probably guess that payroll services has been a great business for Paychex. That assumption is backed up by average annual revenue growth of 15.3% for the past three years. But having many small customers cuts both ways -- smaller businesses are also more likely to fail. However, Paychex has been making headway on this front and is currently renewing better than 80% of its customers each year.

Competitors to Paychex in payroll processing and human resource services include Automatic Data Processing (NYSE:ADP), Administaff (NYSE:ASF), Ceridian (NYSE:CEN), and a number of small private companies that provide payroll services.

The financials
To put it bluntly, the financials at Paychex are a thing of beauty. Rather than spending 300 words describing them, here's a table with some of the important numbers.

5-Year Sales CAGR*

5-Year Free Cash Flow CAGR*

5-Year Average Return on Equity

5-Year Average Net Margin

Free Cash Flow**

*Compound annual growth rate. **Trailing 12 months.
Data provided by Capital IQ, a division of S&P.

There are a couple of other items to note. Like most service businesses, Paychex is not very capital intensive. Over the past five years, capital expenditures have averaged around 5% of sales. The other item is the interest the company earns on funds that it holds for clients before making payments to tax authorities. At the end of the most recent quarter, those funds stood at more than $3.8 billion. Since this income is a part of the company's operations, an adjustment to interest income for valuation purposes should only be made for the interest earned on the company's cash balances.

Valuation and final thoughts
I last took a look at Paychex on March 29, and I wasn't thrilled with the valuation with the shares trading around $41. At about $37.50 the shares certainly look more attractive now then just two months ago, having fallen close to 10%. Doing a discounted cash flow analysis (using a 9.5% discount rate), I find that top-line growth of 7% to 8% is priced into the shares for 20 years and then 3% thereafter. Those levels of growth are below what the company has averaged historically, but 20 years is a long period of time. In other words, the growth at Paychex is bound to slow. I'm inclined to wait for 5% to 6% growth to be priced in to allow for slowing growth in later years.

The current 1.7% yield on Paychex shares isn't quite enough to make the cut in our Income Investor service. But if there should be a dip in price in the next 12 months and the company continues its regular increases in payments, it is entirely possible that Paychex could meet that threshold and become a member of lead analyst Mathew Emmert's stable of undervalued, dividend-paying stalwarts. These are companies that -- like Paychex -- have delivered lots of dividend growth, but also offer better-than-average yields. The ranks include the likes of JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM), which rewarded investors with a 26% total return since its recommendation.

With Atletico Madrid's explosive forward, Kevin Gameiro, attracting heavy interest from the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid, PSG and Manchester United, it's interesting to note that Tottenham Hotspur have joined the list of high profile suitors.

Mauricio Pochettino's brilliantly managed side have even reportedly emerged as favourites for his signature, and there's no doubting he'd be a great fit for the North London club.

With quality back up needed for sensational striker Harry Kane heading into what looms as a hectic 2017/2018 campaign, especially considering Vincent Janssen's struggles, Gameiro would be a perfect option to either play alongside Kane or come off the bench depending on the situation.

Although he'd cost a rumoured £27 million, the Frenchman's multifaceted skillset would undoubtedly add another dimension to Spurs' hugely gifted attacking unit.

Atletico Madrid forward Kevin Gameiro

Having proven himself to be a reliable marksman already at the top level in both his homeland and Spain, there's no reason to suggest the instinctive frontman couldn't adapt smoothly to the rigours of the Premier League too.

While he hasn't enjoyed his best campaign at Los Rojiblancos, he's still scored an admirable 16 goals this term, as he's shared the duties of partnering Antoine Griezmann with Fernando Torres.

When he has formed a strike partnership with Griezmann, the pair have dovetailed together cohesively, complementing each other's moments nicely by performing subtle switches of positions and keeping their spacing ideal.

"Gameiro is brilliant, I get on really well with him," Griezmann recently told Canal+. "Gameiro has set me up seven times and I have given him three or four, we have a good understanding and the fact he is French also helps."

Blessed with searing pace and a clinical finisher to match, the 30-year-old's a real handful for any defence to contend with.

On top of his low centre of gravity that ensures he's extremely tough to outmuscle, his capacity to hold up the ball and execute slick one touch lay-offs and flick-ons is another key weapon of his armoury.

Indeed, his six assists aptly illustrate his acuity in his distribution. But arguably, however, the most effective aspect of his game is his ability to make exquisitely timed runs in behind to get into great scoring positions and to create openings for teammates.

The Madrid man offers a lot

He'll regularly exploit the channels in behind the opposition fullback and force his central defensive marker to follow him, which creates vital central space for his fellow attackers to exploit.

Moreover, the way he drifts into the half spaces and then embarks on angling, outside to inside runs, that often catches defenders out as these runs are on their blindside, only serves to amplify his threat.

By varying his offensive methods so astutely, this guarantees his trackers can never settle into a rhythm as to how best to deal with him.

Another vital feature in his locker is his defensive contribution, which has been honed so diligently working under Unai Emery at Sevilla and Diego Simeone at Atleti, sees him able to press with intensity and force many turnovers as a result.

This will unquestionably be a factor that should impress Pochettino, who asks his forwards to impose themselves on their adversaries during the first phase of their build up. Despite not wholly endearing himself to the dogged Simeone, the former Lorient and PSG hitman was still highly thought of by his Argentine tactician.

"For me it is what I imagined from him, he has 14 goals and I expect even more," Simeone told AS in the wake of his quick fire hat-trick vs Sporting Gijon and domineering display against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League back in February.

"I think he has given us more in our games than just his goals, because he has provided many assists. He gives us speed, keeps the ball, good interplay and works well with Griezmann. It gives us a chance to attack with Gameiro-Griezmann and teams know they cannot leave space."

Amid talk of Atletico wanting to sign Alexandre Lacazette and bring back Diego Costa, in combination with his slow finish to campaign, all the signs point to the French international's future lying elsewhere, thus signaling him as a fantastic and gettable addition to Tottenham's squad.

Only time will tell if, in fact, a deal can be struck between the two involved parties.

But if they can get the transfer over the line, the man who's won three Europa Leagues and one Ligue 1 crown could be a real game changer in Spurs' quest for glory next season.

Bank Of America Cutting 16K Jobs By Dec.: Big Bank Would End Slim-Down A Year Early

(Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Bank of America, the second largest U.S. bank, hopes to speed up cost-cutting efforts and aims to cut 16,000 jobs by year's end, the latest move by the financial institution to trim expenses amid declining revenue.

The workforce reduction would bring Bank of America's head count down to 260,000, a move that ends the company's position as U.S. banking's biggest employer, making it smaller than Citigroup, Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase. Plans to quicken the pace of the layoffs were detailed in a document given to top management, an outline obtained by The Wall Street Journal.

Shares of Bank of America sank 1.4% to $9.16 in pre-market trading.

This latest decision comes less than two months after Bank of America said it would slash $3 billion annually from commercial lending, investment banking and wealth management in an effort to become a leaner organization and drive more revenue from customer. The bank first pledged to reduce expenses in 2011, when it announced a plan to save $5 billion annually and cut 30,000 jobs by the end of 2014, a move that would reduce its consumer banking and information technology businesses.

Becoming a smaller institution with a greater emphasis on the deal-making power behind its Merrill Lynch unit makes sense. The bank is struggling and lagged the recovery seen by peers since the financial crisis. Its loan book shrank in second quarter, as interest income fell 15%. Meantime, the stock is down 72% since September 2008. For contrast, Wells Fargo gained 12% and JPMorgan rallied 4.4%.

Since CEO Brian Moynihan took control of the struggling financier, rolling back the nationwide expansion designed by his predecessors, the stock has fallen nearly 40%, though it is up 67% this year. The decision to cut 16,000 jobs by December would allow Bank of America to meet the pledge—to reduce payrolls by 30,000—a full year early.

It is not clear exactly where Bank of America will trim. The plan calls for 5,300 job cuts in consumer-banking and 3,200 in the division overseeing new mortgages, The Journal reports.

To be sure, Bank of America's mortgage business has hamstrung the bank. A 2008 acquisition of Countrywide Financial exposed Bank of America to the risky home loans that characterized the financial crisis, exposing the business to greater losses during the financial crisis than many other big banks. The bank made $18 million in mortgages in the second quarter, down from $40.4 billion a year earlier. Moynihan has said that he could eventually shrink the bank's mortgage division to less than 35,000 employees, from more than 50,000 today.

California Teen Killed in Collision with Distracted Highway Officer

A 15-year-old California boy was killed in early June when a Highway Patrol officer struck a stopped vehicle.

The boy was a passenger in a vehicle which was stopped in a construction zone along Interstate 5. According to authorities, the CHP officer was looking at the computer of a mobile road enforcement truck, and failed to notice the stalled traffic in time to stop.

The officer rear-ended a vehicle in front of him, which struck two other stopped vehicles. Two other teenagers also sustained injuries in the crash, and were transported to an area medical center to be treated. The incident is currently under investigation by CHP offices.

Unfortunately, auto accidents are all too common in the state of California, which has some of the most congested motorways in the country.

Auto Accidents and Personal Injury

When auto accidents occur, there is always the chance for injury. Though many accidents will result in only minor cuts or bruises, some incidents can be far more severe, with victims experiencing severe personal injury or disability.

Regardless of the circumstances, the most important thing in any auto accident situation is to first seek the help of a qualified medical professional, who can diagnose any personal injury and recommend a pathway towards recuperation and recovery.

However, it is often that recovery that proves challenging for personal injury victims, especially for those requiring ongoing medical treatment or other rehabilitation. Between lost wages and mounting medical costs, the financial burden can grow heavy for many dealing with serious injuries.

Filing a personal injury claim is one way to help recover compensation or other damages to which you may be entitled.

If you or someone you know has been injured in an auto accident, it is in your best interest to contact a qualified personal injury attorney, in order to ensure that your rights as a victim are protected under law.

Finding a Personal Injury Attorney

In Los Angeles and the surrounding areas in Southern California, the dedicated attorneys at Fox & Fox Law Corp. assist victims of personal injury in receiving the justice they deserve. From assisting in finding the medical professionals you need, to conducting thorough investigations into the circumstances surrounding your claim, our attorneys are committed to putting our clients first. Let us work with you to build a strong, convincing case that yields the results you both need and deserve.

NBA Wrap: Boston Celtics win ninth straight, Warriors overcome shooting woes to down Heat

Kyrie Irving.

AN early season horrific injury to Gordon Hayward looked like it would derail the Boston Celtics, but they’ve responded in the most incredible way.

Over in Oakland, the Golden State Warriors overcame some shooting struggles to defeat the Miami Heat.

It’s all in the NBA Wrap!

Aron Baynes finished with two points and three rebounds in the Celtics’ 110-107 win over the Hawks.

Kyrie Irving scored 35 points, Jayson Tatum added 21 and the Boston Celtics held off the Atlanta Hawks 110-107 Monday night for their ninth straight victory.

Irving’s 3 from the right wing put the Celtics up 104-103 — the game’s 25th lead change — with 1:37 remaining, and Boston led the rest of the way. Dennis Schroder had 23 points for the rebuilding Hawks, who dropped to 2-9 a night after a surprising two-point win at Cleveland.

Boston improved to 9-2, best in the NBA, and has its longest winning streak in seven years.

Al Horford had 15 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists in his best game against the Hawks. Horford spent his first nine seasons in Atlanta before leaving as a free agent ahead of last season and had totals of 20 points and 17 rebounds in three games against the Hawks.

D’Angelo Russell had 23 points and nine assists, Joe Harris scored a season-high 18 points and Brooklyn beat Phoenix.

The Suns rallied from a 15-point first-half deficit to lead 75-74 after Jared Dudley’s layup with 9:17 to play, but the Nets went back ahead moments later and held on to end a four-game skid.

Russell scored 13 points in the fourth quarter. DeMarre Carroll added 14 points and 11 rebounds.

T.J. Warren had 20 points as the Suns lost their third straight. Devin Booker scored 18 points before fouling out late in the game.

Kevin Durant had 21 points and eight rebounds to help the Golden State Warriors overcome their shooting woes and beat the Miami Heat 97-80 in a rare low-scoring outing Monday night.

Draymond Green scored 18 points with a season-high four 3s to go with nine rebounds as the defending NBA champions won for the seventh time in their last eight games, including three straight in lopsided fashion on their recent road trip.

Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry.

The Warriors had scored 100 points in every regular-season game since their second-to-last matchup last season, a 105-99 defeat to Utah as the regulars rested or played limited minutes ahead of the playoffs. Golden State is 3-11 over the past three seasons when held below 100 points.

Stephen Curry added 16 points and Klay Thompson 13. The Warriors shot just 36.8 percent and 11 for 32 from deep. Durant added six assists and three blocks. James Johnson scored 21 points off the bench and Goran Dragic contributed 19 points for Miami a night after squeaking out a 104-101 road win against the Clippers.

Lash Enhancing Serums – Revitalash

Lash Enhancing Serums — Revitalash

In the UK alone we spend hundreds of thousands of pounds every year on volumising mascara’s and fake eyelashes, all in a bid to have super long and super sexy lashes! Our eyelashes are important to us: we tint them, curl them, slap several layers of mascara on them, hoping that our efforts will make them stand out in volume and length.

Lash Enhancing Serums

A new kid on the block in eyelash maintenance is Lash Enhancing Serum. Lash Enhancing Serums are a relatively new product on the market but they are proving incredibly popular and several serums have become available in recent times. At our beauty salon in Gloucester we are proud to stock Revitalash Advanced, an eyelash conditioner which if used everyday, can dramatically increase the length and texture of your eyelashes.

What is Revitalash Advanced?

Revitalash is a specially formulated eyelash conditioner that is applied to your own natural eyelashes everyday. It contains a chemical similar to prostaglandin (which is a naturally occurring chemical in the our bodies), that increases the length of eyelashes. Peptides and botanicals also condition and nourish your lashes. The result after using Revitalash, is that eyelashes are, full, light and soft in texture.

What are the benefits of using Revitalash Advanced?

  • The product is perfect for those with brittle, fragile, thin or short eyelashes;
  • It can be applied to both your top and bottom lashes;
  • Revitalash contains a thickening agent so that it stays exactly where it has been applied;
  • It’s Opthamologist reviewed
  • Dermatologically reviewed
  • Clinically Tested
  • Hypo-allergnic and non-irritating.

How do I apply Revitalash?

1. Ensure that your hands and face are clean and that the eye area is also clean and dry

2. Once a day, (it’s adviseable to do this before you go to bed), apply a thin layer of Revitalash Advanced Eyelash Conditioner to the base of your lashes. One brush stroke is enough to coat both your top and bottom lashes.

3. Sit back and wait for the excellent results to show in your luscious long lashes!

Can I buy Revitalash from Fringe Benefits?

Yes you can! We stock two sizes:

– Half Size Bottle £67.50

– Full Size Bottle £97.00

Please speak to one of our team today about making your purchase at our beauty salon in Gloucester.

Nearly two-thirds of Peru is Amazon rainforest, which thrives with some of the richest biodiversity on the planet. Covering 6,475,000 sq. km (2,500,000 sq. miles), the Amazon basin represents 54% of all remaining rainforest on the planet. This vast, largely impenetrable region, with the smallest human population in the country and few towns of any significant size, clearly is not the Peru of great pre-Columbian civilizations and Inca ruins. It stands in stunning contrast to the country's rugged Andean peaks and arid desert coasts. The humid frontier towns of the jungle, well past stages of oil and rubber booms and now hell-bent on ecotourism, are worlds removed from the historic cities Cusco and Arequipa and the modern madness of Lima.

Many naturalists and biologists believe that Peru's Amazon rainforest holds the greatest diversity in the world. It teems with a staggering roster of wildlife: 400 species of mammals, 2,000 species of fish, 300 reptiles, 1,800 birds, and more than 50,000 plants. Recent studies have shown that a region just south of Iquitos has the highest concentration of mammals anywhere in the world.

Not surprisingly, jungle ecotourism has exploded in Peru, as it has in several other Latin American countries. Peru's jungle regions are now much more accessible than they once were -- which is both a good and a bad thing, of course -- and there are more lodges and eco-options than ever. Remote as the Amazon jungle surely seems, it is possible to find yourself at an ecolodge in as little as 12 hours after boarding a flight in the U.S. Still, accessibility is a crucial factor in jungle trips: The more remote a lodge or camping trek is, and the more pristine and unspoiled the environment is, the more it's going to cost you to get there in terms of both time and money. Rivers define life in the jungle even more than do the forests; for both locals and visitors, almost all transport along the vast river system that stretches across the whole of eastern Peru is by dugout canoe, motorboat, or large riverboats (lanchas).

The southern Amazon region, which extends to the Bolivian and Brazilian borders, is concentrated in the Madre de Dios department, the least populated area in Peru. Although it is accessible by land from Cusco, it is an exceedingly difficult route. Most travelers fly to Puerto Maldonado (the gateway to the Tambopata National Reserve) and travel overland to the Manu Biosphere Reserve, returning by small aircraft.

The northern Amazon reaches all the way to Peru's borders with Colombia and Brazil. The gateway to Peru's northern Amazon basin is Iquitos. As an example of how huge the Amazon is, Iquitos lies nearly 3,220km (2,000 miles) from the mouth of the great Río Amazonas, the second-longest river in the world. Other than an arduous journey by boat, the only way to get to Iquitos is by airplane (usually from Lima).

The best time to visit the Amazon is during the dry season, May through the end of October. During the rainy season in the southern Amazon, parts of the jungle are flooded and impassable. The northern jungle does not have a rainy season, per se, and travel there is less restricted during the winter. However, water levels can rise from 7.5m (25 ft.) to more than 15m (50 ft.) from December to May, and some jungle villages become flooded. Many naturalists find high-water months best for wildlife observation.

Frankfurt's financial district © Bloomberg
Experimental feature

Listen to this article

Experimental feature

International banks have started looking at office space in Frankfurt as they consider whether they will need to shift some of their European operations out of London if Britain votes to leave the EU.

London is the world’s principal location for euro-denominated trading, a $2tn-a-day market, even though the UK is outside the single currency area. The UK has so far managed to foil European Central Bank attempts to prevent clearing houses outside the eurozone from handling the currency — and the UK’s EU membership is widely seen to have played a central role in blocking the move.

Tarek al-Wazir, the economy minister in Hesse, the German state in which Frankfurt is located, said a number of foreign banks had begun to make inquiries “within the last two months”, although the moves were preliminary and no contracts were yet in place.

Mr Wazir declined to say precisely how many banks were looking at office space in Frankfurt. Another person briefed on the matter put the number at “a good half dozen” US and Swiss banks, with one lender from each of those countries further advanced in their planning than the others.

Between them, the two banks were considering moving a “three-digit” number of jobs from London to Frankfurt in the event of a Brexit, the person said, including some back office and trading jobs linked to their derivatives businesses. They did not disclose which banks were involved.

“I think a lot of people in Britain are creating illusions of what it will be like for the UK if it votes to leave the EU, and what it means for the City of London,” Mr Wazir said in an interview with the Financial Times. “They are unaware that banks are looking at the situation and asking: ‘where else could we go?’”

Should a Brexit take place, how much business would move would depend on the terms of the new relationship between the UK and EU. However, rival financial centres are already positioning themselves to benefit if business does leave the city.

Two weeks ago, Paris’s financial elite hosted a conference where they promised to “roll out the red carpet” for London’s bankers. On Monday, the chief executive of Euronext warned that jobs would move to Dublin, Paris or Amsterdam if Britain left the EU.

Some bankers in London are sceptical about the prospect of jobs moving to Frankfurt, as opposed to other financial centres. Frankfurt is a far smaller city than London and labour laws in Germany are widely seen as more onerous than those in the UK, where it is easier to lay off staff.

However, Mr Wazir said Frankfurt was in a good position.

“Of course the banks will not move all their business from London to Frankfurt,” he said. “But Frankfurt is going through a phase of positive development. We have the European Central Bank here and we are at the heart of Europe’s biggest economy. We could get a trend in a particular direction.”

Party Time with Mega Bloks First Builders

I don’t know a kid who doesn’t love to build with blocks.  When my oldest son was a little guy we knew getting him Mega Bloks to play with would always be a hit, and the same has been true for our other 3 kids.

When we were chosen by MomSelect to host a MommyParties Mega Bloks First Builders party we were thrilled!  Our littlest guy just turned 2 years old and loves playing with the Mega Bloks left from his big sister and big brothers’ sets.  I couldn’t wait to share the fun new sets with him- like the ABC Spell and 1-2-3 Count blocks- and I was excited to share them with our friends too!

We all met at our church to be able to party (aka: play) in the green grass and open space.  As soon as the kids saw the wagon with the Mega Bloks it was a fight.

They loved building with the blocks, but all wanted at that moment was to drag that wagon around with them.
And once they saw the Tiny ‘n Tuff Race ‘n Chase Rig, there was no keeping it intact for raffle.  One parent was supposed to be the winner of a raffle to take it home, but with 1-4 year old kiddos around, there was no way was it staying in that box without them tearing it apart.  I really couldn’t blame them; the rig comes with two adorable cars that- with a mere flip of the handle on the rig- are sent racing down the ramp! We opted to open in and let them play with it instead.

Once it was out, the fight began again.  We finally were able to get them to make up and then take turns with the Chase Rig, the two cars, and the wagon while the others played with the ABC Spell blocks.

In the end Connor and his bff each took turns pushing around the wagon and the Chase Rig while the girls played with the rest of the toys. They were too cute!

All of the kids enjoyed playing with the Mega Bloks and with their friends (after we were able to get them taking turns), and we mommies enjoyed some adult chat time too.  Best of all, everyone was able to discover these fun toys, and -thanks to MommyParties and Mega Bloks- each child was able to take home a Mega Blocks First Builders ABC Spell and 1-2-3 Count pack, which they were quite excited about!

Mega Bloks are the perfect toy for little ones, and with the holidays coming up they’d make a perfect gift for the preschooler in your life!  While each of the 1-4 year old kids at our party loved these toys, the 2 year olds seemed to enjoy them the most.  We’ll be finding more Mega Bloks sets for our own little 2 year old for the holidays!

Disclosure: I received free products as part of a promotional campaign with MomSelect. Regardless, all opinions and thoughts expressed are my own.

  1. Oh yes we have bins and bins of them! 🙂

    Oh these look like so much fun! Carter is 2 years old and I bet he is about ready for these too! Might have to get for Christmas!!!

GAO discussed the Health Care Financing Administration's (HCFA) efforts to provide health care quality information to Medicare beneficiaries joining health maintenance organizations (HMO). GAO noted that: (1) corporate purchasers use accreditation and performance measurement monitoring to ensure that HMO furnish quality health care; (2) HCFA is starting to use similar methods to ensure HMO quality; (3) while the use of performance measurement indicators has become popular, such indicators may not be reliable or comparable, and may not be valid measures of quality; (4) 60 percent of large corporations consider HMO accreditation status by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), before contracting with HMO; (5) NCQA developed a set of standardized information on HMO focusing on provider actions, rather than patient care outcomes; (6) NCQA recently released in draft form a set of measures based on patient care outcomes; (7) HCFA has joined with a group of corporate purchasers to develop another set of standardized outcome measures; (8) HCFA uses a qualification review program similar to accreditation, along with peer review, to assess health care organizations' quality; and (9) HCFA does not routinely make quality assessment information available to Medicare beneficiaries.

GCHQ and Cheltenham Science Festival

Last Updated: 19 Apr 2016
GCHQ has supported Cheltenham Science Festival since 2004, and over the years our display has grown both in content and appearance.

Our Science Festival team comprises current and former industry students and apprentices who in recent years have taken on the challenge of designing the GCHQ display around the theme of the Festival. Their involvement has helped them gain valuable skills, such as learning a new computer language, or gaining a deeper understanding of the procurement process, project management, or health and safety.

"I had to learn a completely new programming language for the development of my activity, improve electronic engineering skills and how to manage a project well enough to be delivered on time, and to meet all the standards that were expected."

The youngsters design most of the interactive games themselves, including Cryptoy, an educational code-breaking app, and Net Attack, a fast-paced reaction game. Such is the popularity of the stand, that we have been asked to take it to other science festivals and events around the UK.

A particular highlight at some of our event has been a live code-breaking link-up with Bletchley Park; visitors compose messages on an  Enigma machine and  tweeted them to Bletchley Park, where the volunteer code-breakers broke out the messages and tweeted them back over a Skype link. "This was by far the coolest thing at the whole fair!", exclaimed one young visitor. On one occasion messages were sent from the GCHQ stand at the Edinburgh International Science Festival to Cheltenham where they were decrypted using volunteers using the Cryptoy app - an interesting mix of old and new technologies which fascinated visitors.

GCHQ is a cutting-edge technology organisation, and Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) subjects are an important part of our business. Taking part in events like Cheltenham Science Festival gives us the opportunity to play our part in helping inspire the next generation to develop these skills in order to become the workforce of the future.

stereo widening plugins

Do you ever use them on the master? I'm demoing schwa CMX, and I have a voxengo plugin I sometimes use to time delay one side of the stereo track for this purpose.

I'm kind of addicted to it, but it's always a compromise, usually losing focus and tightness for the effect.

Sometimes. Used to use it more. Flux Stereo Tool is nice and free. Brainworx has some nice options for this stuffed in their plugins as well.

not used it on the master but CMX is sitting on a tabla line on my latest track and sounding great.

I use Sonalksis on the master. Not more than 140% usually and I keep everything below about 500hz in mono.

CMX is not a plugin for the mixbuss.

It's more like a "doubler", not a stereo enhancer.

MeldaProduction have a decent stereo spreader in their free bundle.
QuikQuak have a stereo widener as well.

Both for PC and mac.

robotic and human hands grasping a steering wheelYou’re on the highway, about to change lanes—a check of the mirrors, a look over your shoulder. Blinker on, you start to make your move, when a light on the side mirror flashes: Someone in your blind spot! You pull back into your lane, relieved.

Car safety features like blind-spot monitoring have been available, or even standard, on luxury cars for several years. But as the government and manufacturers have recognized their importance, they’ve popped up on lower-priced vehicles as well.

Fortunately, some of these high-tech safety features are becoming requirements on all new cars. According to Richard Reina, product training director at CARiD.com, today’s automakers are prioritizing features like this that not only protect drivers who get into accidents, but also help avoid accidents altogether.

Not all of these features are standard on all cars yet, but they may be offered as an optional upgrade. Few cost more than $750 per vehicle, making them a solid peace-of-mind investment. After all, paying a little more now helps create a safer ride for you, your passengers and others on the road, for years to come.

Automatic Braking Systems

Automatic emergency braking systems stop or drastically slow the car when an oncoming collision is detected—an essential safety feature, according to Reina. “Even for good drivers,” he says, “this will help avoid accidents should a person or car suddenly come into your path through no fault of your own.” Although automatic brakes are standard in only about 10 percent of new cars currently sold, you’ll be seeing this feature more often. Twenty major car manufacturers recently pledged to make automatic braking systems standard in virtually all new-model cars by 2022, and installation of the technology will reach almost all trucks by 2025.

Blind-Spot Monitoring

Using either video data or radar, a blind-spot system keeps careful watch over the areas drivers can’t see from their rearview or side mirrors. If it detects a car getting a little too close for comfort, it alerts the driver with a series of beeps or visual cues. In some advanced systems, the cars can even move themselves to a safer distance. Blind-spot monitoring is an especially worthy investment for larger vehicles like SUVs or minivans, or for anyone who does a lot of highway travel. In the coming years, most vehicles are likely to have this as a standard safety feature or as a more affordable option.

Backup Camera

The backup camera concept was introduced in the 1950s, went into production in the 1990s, and has proved to be such an effective safety feature that it will be mandatory for all cars manufactured starting in May 2018. The camera turns on when the vehicle is put in reverse, showing an image—on a dashboard or rearview-mirror screen—of what’s behind the car. The extra perspective adds a layer of protection to checking your mirrors and looking over your shoulder.

Rear Cross-Traffic Warning

This feature adds another layer to the backup camera. Rear cross-traffic warning systems monitor the area behind the car and will issue alerts if anything is detected while you’re backing up. Basically a more advanced form of the technology used in blind-spot monitoring, it’s also hugely popular: Drivers say this feature has already worked wonders in preventing fender benders.

Lane-Keeping System

While lane-departure warning systems usually issue a few beeps when they detect the car drifting, lane-keeping assist systems actually take control of the car and steer it gently back to its lane. According to Reina, these systems should reduce the number of collisions that result from cars leaving their lanes.

Now that you know how new car technology can help keep you safe, make sure your car is covered with the right auto insurance. Get a fast, free quote on quality coverage today.

    I once owned a vehicle with automatic high beams and it was wonderful. Could never understand why that feature didn’t continue to be manufactured. Congratulations on your info and for being aware of the need for such.

  2. Fran says

    It would be wonderful if drivers would use their signal lights. I believe that is a necessary part of defensive driving.

    • Carole R Revelle says

      I agree! I didn’t realize how often I change lanes without using mine, especially when no one else is around me until I bought a 2017 Subaru Forester that beeps at me when I don’t. We all need to be more conscious and conscientious about our driving habits.

  3. Michel Ridgely says

    One additional safety feature should be added to the list of future standard features, that being the following: When it becomes necessary to activate one’s windshield wipers due to rain, the vehicle’s headlights should automatically activate as well (or at least a reminder such as a buzzer should activate to prompt the driver). Far too often when it rains there is someone who fails to turn on their headlights. Under the condition of rain and mist, especially when traveling on major (busy) highways, it is virtually impossible to see vehicles in one’s side or rear view mirrors that have failed to turn on their headlights. This is especially true when the vehicle is the same color as the environment, such as a dark silver or gray. Making lane changes under these circumstances can be very hazardous.

  4. Mohammad Iqbal says

    i believe this is a very good idea to send a mail or email time to time educate the drivers for new coming regulation and safty tips.

  5. Marcus R Casto says

    With all the best technology in the cars who will be responsible if one of the safety features fails, and will these safety features become part of the State vehicle inspection to make sure they work. Another question is will the insurance lower on cars with the safety features installed?

How Safe Is Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer?

How Safe Is Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer?

in Overall Health by

Marie Curie discovered radium in 1898, but researchers didn’t know what effect radium would have on the human body until 1901, when a man named Henri Becquerel decided to carry a tube filled with radium in his coat pocket for a few hours. A week or two later, he noticed severe inflammation of his skin beneath where the tube had been.

In its infancy, radiation treatment wasn’t always safe. Some early scientists who worked with radioactive elements paid for their experiments with their lives; Marie Curie died of a blood disease called aplastic anemia caused by radiation exposure. Fortunately, over a century later, doctors have learned how to safely use targeted cancer radiation therapy to shrink and even eliminate tumors and lesions. Now, millions of people live cancer-free lives thanks to doctors who provide radiation treatment.

How Safe Is Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer?

How Radiation Treatments Kill Cancer Cells

Radioactive gamma rays, X-rays and charged particles kill cancer cells by damaging their DNA. The radiation either directly destroys the DNA or creates free radicals, which are charged particles that collide with DNA molecules. When their DNA is destroyed, cancer cells can no longer reproduce. They die and are flushed away by natural body processes.

The problem with radiation is that it can also kill normal cells. However, years of experimentation have taught doctors exactly how much radiation different body cells can withstand. Now, doctors develop targeted treatments designed to eliminate cancer while destroying as few healthy cells as possible. Depending on the type of cancer the patient has, doctors will use one of three types of radiation treatments:

  • External-beam radiation therapy. A machine outside of the body delivers beams of radiation to the cancerous cells.
  • Brachytherapy. Radioactive pellets are placed near the tumor. Brachytherapy is a common treatment for prostate, breast, ovarian and uterine cancers.
  • Systemic radiation. Doctors use material, like radioactive iodine, and inject it into the bloodstream to fight certain types of cancer.

Robotic Radiosurgery

Robotic radiosurgery allows doctors to target hard-to-treat tumors in the prostate, brain, lungs, pancreas, liver and spine. One of the most effective robotic radiosurgery machines, the CyberKnife, targets a tumor on a three-dimensional coordinate plane. Then, it aims multiple radiation beams precisely at the target with an accuracy variance of less than a millimeter. Today’s precise stereotactic systems can deliver high radiation doses to cancer cells with little or no effect on the surrounding healthy cells.

When undergoing CyberKnife treatment, depending on the cancer or condition treated, patients will come to an outpatient center for one to five days. They receive treatments and then leave, and most experience few or no side effects. Doctors operating CyberKnife produce the same or better patient outcomes than doctors using other forms of robotic radiosurgery. In addition, CyberKnife treatment costs less than surgery performed with other devices.

Is Robotic Radiosurgery Right for My Prostate Cancer?

Doctors that have experience with robotic radiosurgery can evaluate your individual case to decide whether radiosurgery could be effective. If you’re selected as a candidate, then you’ll most likely work with a team consisting of caregivers like a radiation oncologist, a medical physicist, a radiation technician and a surgeon. Your team will map out your cancer lesion using imaging studies, like MRIs and CT scans.

Once the tumor has been carefully mapped, a radiation oncologist will plan exactly how much radiation your tissues will receive and where to target the radiation. Your treatment plan is loaded into the robot’s computer system for pinpoint precision. During treatment, you’ll lie on a treatment table while the robotic arm moves around you. While the robot delivers radiation beams to the cancer cells, it also takes continuous scans of the area to make sure it isn’t targeting healthy tissue.

Thanks to modern radiation therapies like CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery, cancer doesn’t have to take you away from the activities and the people you love. Men between the ages of 40 and 75 should talk to their doctors about taking tests, such as PSA tests or rectal exams, for prostate cancer. Early detection often means less invasive treatment.

A Workout for Runners

A Workout for Runners

in Fitness by

A Workout for RunnersRunning is a great activity and plenty of people love to do it. But sometimes they forget that a good training routine can actually improve their ability to run by strengthening muscles in a way running can’t. As most people run long distance the endurance side of things is not a problem but they might want to work on muscle strength as well.

There are benefits to adding more strength to your body. It can help with your overall running times by adding more power for the final kick of a race as well as assist when pushing up the inclines. Also working out the upper body keeps you well balanced. Stronger arms, shoulders, and chest might not assist as much with running longer distances but it is better for your overall level of fitness.

The Runners Workout

This is a standard circuit routine. Make sure to warm-up and stretch before you begin. Complete the circuit with no rest between sets and then rest 30 to 60 seconds before repeating 3 times.

  • Jump Squats – 60 seconds – Squat down and then jump straight up in the air, raising your hands towards the sky. Land softly and immediately go back down for another.
  • Toe Kicks – 60 seconds – Stand with your arms straight out to the sides. Kick your right foot up as high as you can while you bring your left hand it to touch the top of it. Then repeat with the opposite foot and hand.
  • Dumbbell Lunges – 8 to 10 repetitions with each leg
  • Plank – 60 seconds – Hold your body in a standard plank position (like a push-up but resting on your forearms with back flat)
  • Bicycle Crunches – 20 to 30 – Crunch your shoulder to opposite knee and alternate side each time you crunch.
  • Swiss Ball Knee Thrusts – 60 seconds – Assume a push-up position on a large Swiss ball with your hands palms down on the top of the ball. Thrust your left knee into the ball followed by your right.
  • Side Hops – 30 seconds – Use a small box or lay a 45lb plate on the ground. Stand to one side of it and with feet together hop over to the other side of it. Then hop back to the original side.
  • Standing Jumps – 30 seconds – From a standing position, jump straight up as high as you can without bending your knees (works the calves).
  • Pushups – 20 to 30
  • Pull-ups – As many as you can (bodyweight)
  • Dips – As many as you can (bodyweight)

This workout covers the entire body and will help keep you strong and toned.

All Xiaomi Smart Home Products Will Come Under The New “MIJIA” Brand

by Joel 1

Xiaomi is not just a smartphone manufacturer. In the six years of its existence, the company has evolved from a startup Chinese smartphone maker to a brand whose products are spread around in almost every smart home segment. A couple of years back, Xiaomi started investing heavily in subsidiary brands for various smart home products such as Mi Purifier, Mi Powerbank, Smart Shoes etc, and in a short span of time, the company grew into one of the biggest tech names in China.

MIJIA featured brand image

However, out of the numerous products launched by Xiaomi, only a handful are actually manufactured by them. In fact, a majority of the Xiaomi Mi branded products in the market are made by third party companies, many of whom have seen major investments from the company. However, with the increase in the smart home products manufactured by third party companies, it became necessary for Xiaomi to differentiate the products that it manufactures on its own from the ones that are made by others. This is why the company finally unveiled the new brand, MIJIA, which will encompass all the major smart home products that come under the Mi branding.

mijia product showcase

In case you are wondering, MIJIA literally means Xiaomi Smart Home in Chinese. The logo is a shield and the company wants to portray a sense of reliability from the brand image. Apart from Xiaomi smartphones, Mi TVs and Mi Routers, rest of the products will fall under the MIJIA brand.

To give you some figures, Xiaomi has invested in over 55 startups till now and 29 of them were incubated by the company. Further, two of these startups can boast of a revenue of over 1 billion Yuan.

Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier

These are really some impressive figures. Xiaomi tells us that the company’s aim has always been to rebuild the image of “Made in China” and it has managed to achieve this through its MIJIA Mi Ecosystem.

mijia xiaomi rice cooker

After announcing the MIJIA brand, the company launched its first product under the new name, namely the MIJIA Rice Cooker. The company invited a renowned engineer from Japan to build this cooker since Japanese are experts in this technology. This induction heating pressure rice cooker comes with a total of 2450 different heating methods. To make things super easy, you can scan the QR code on your rice package and a corresponding heating method will be used by the cooker. What’s more, you have a dedicated Mijia Rice Cooker App to even adjust the softness of the rice being cooked. All this for $154 (999 Yuan in China). The cooker will go on sale on April 6 in China on the website.

Things are really looking good for Xiaomi, with the new MIJIA brand and the existing Mi brand growing strong.
