We were two families of 4 each, including children. Food was great, staff nice, the room is pretty nice as well, price is fair. There is a terrace on the top but we didn't go there but seems attractive as well. The location is great because parking is easy and is a 5-minute walk to downtown.

If you can make sure you get a table on the terrace upstairs.

Dear customer, So sorry to hear that. Perhaps you wouldn´t know, but ceaser salad is made with anchovy fllet all over the world and we try to keep the original recipe exactly the same. Pizza dough is extremely thin. Apparently you haven´t enjoyed it but, because of that, is one of the most appreciated dishes of Di Casa. Despite all,... More

Located just near the walls and entrance to the old city. This is a very well priced good family Italian restaurant. Staff were very friendly, spoke English and were fast in getting food out to the tables. Good pizzas, calzone, salads and pasta. Good alternative to the many Portugese Restaurants in Evora.

Cattle Raids and Frontier Marauders

deavor to retaliate for the injuries received from their marauding countrymen.[83]

From Live Oak Point, Refugio County, late in 1838, the citizens and residents addressed the "General Government on the subject of the dangers & embarrassments" to which they were exposed from incursions by marauding parties of Mexicans. They reported a Mexican general encamped on the Nueces, about fifteen miles from Refugio. Without giving details, they declared that he had sent "a detachment from his forces, Two Hundred Strong, well mounted and armed. . . . into our Territory nearly as far, within a few miles of Labardee [La Bahía], murdering, plundering, and making captives all in their course." The inhabitants of Live Oak Point called upon the government for protection of the frontier not only from the Mexican marauders, but also from the Karankawa Indians. They pointed out the importance of Live Oak Point as a port of entry for merchant vessels entering Aransas Bay. "We can but feel our impotency under present circumstances," they said, "and can but feel that this region of the country, abounding with fertile grounds, and this Point offering facilities to trade and commerce unsurpassed . . . are objects worthy of defence and protection." But such was not the opinion of the President, who endorsed and filed the petition with the following comment: "The object of the persons herein named was to protect the illicit trade which they were willing should be done at the expense of the Republic." The President had no means to aid the petitioners, and if he had possessed abundance the policy at the time would not have justified him.[84]  Some of these "would be" traders on the frontier were soon to cast their lot with the Mexican Federalists, but the significant point here is that they did not have the confidence of the Texas government. Consequently, their petition was ignored.

Kyle Chandler, Former Grey's Guest Star, Scores Big On Friday Night Lights

at . Comments
Kyle Chandler on Friday Night Lights
In the pilot episode of NBC's Friday Night Lights, the retired coach of a winning high school football team warns his young replacement:

"With expectations like this, the only place you can go is down. That's the problem with being this good."

It is a line of dialogue that has proved haunting to the show's star, Kyle Chandler, who plays that inexperienced coach.

Chandler, who won many accolades for his performance as bomb squad captain Dylan Young on the two-part, post-Super Bowl episode of Grey's Anatomy last season, has had to fight to keep his spirits up in the face of low ratings, despite Friday Night Lights' critical praise.

Although the show's numbers were up last week -- 6.6 million viewers from 5.9 million the week before -- it still got brutally tackled by CBS' NCIS (15.9 million) and ABC's Dancing With the Stars (21.3 million). Lights' fourth episode (of nine filmed so far) airs tonight.

Chandler, using a football metaphor, is hopeful.

"I know we got a damn good team and can make it through the season," says one of Grey's Anatomy's most memorable guest stars in his Georgian drawl, which has become more pronounced while shooting Lights in Austin. "We're slowly moving the ball down the field. That's why I'll do anything to keep this show on the air."

Chandler says that if ratings rise enough, he'll relocate wife Katherine and daughters Sydney, 10, and Sawyer, 5, from California to a house in Austin, where he now shares an apartment with some exotic fish.

The 6'1", boyish actor first became known to audiences on the short-lived, early '90s war dramas Tour of Duty and Homefront. Then, from 1996-2000, he enjoyed a run as the star of Early Edition, as a do-gooder who righted wrongs after an orange cat delivered him an advance copy of the newspaper.

Last season, he appeared on Grey's Anatomy as the level-headed bomb expert who saved lives and talked Meredith through the longest hours of her life before meeting his end.

His experience on the riveting two-part episode -- "It's the End of the World... (As We Know It)" -- is paying off. At 41, he's got an Emmy nomination under his belt, and is now comfortable playing in the role of a team leader, both on and off screen.

Last week, he gathered together his cast of mostly unknown young men at co-star Connie Britton's apartment for a much-needed script read-through/pep talk.

Kyle Chandler: Former Grey's Anatomy Guest Star

But like a real coach, Chandler was proud when young Zach Gilford, who plays the show's struggling quarterback, spoke up first. "He said, 'It doesn't matter what we're up against, we just do what we do and not worry about what we can't control,'" he recalls.

What they can't control is Dancing With the Stars, the reality TV powerhouse that inspires Chandler to connect to a line of dialogue his character spoke in last week's episode:

"We oughta be beating these bums by 40 points!"

He believes the 8 o'clock hour, when dinner is being served, is more suited to an easy-to-digest show like Dancing, as opposed to Lights, a drama focusing on a financially strapped community, a quadriplegic athlete, racism and a grandmother with dementia.

A switch to 9 p.m., he says, might be more appropriate.

NBC seemingly agrees.

Next week, Lights will get a special tryout Monday at 10 p.m. (ET/PT) after NBC's biggest new hit, Heroes, in the time slot normally filled by the declining Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. The same Lights episode will air the next day in its regular slot.

Last week, the network announced plans to fill the 8 to 9 p.m. hours entirely with less costly reality and competition shows. If Lights survives beyond November sweeps, it will likely be moved.

NBC Entertainment president Kevin Reilly says: "We plan to stick with Friday Night Lights. I know we're striking a chord with the viewers who have found it."

Chandler finds reason to be optimistic himself.

"Everyone's rooting for us, and things are changing," he says.

Go get 'em, Kyle.

Grey's Anatomy Quotes

Did you say it? 'I love you. I don't ever want to live without you. You changed my life.' Did you say it? Make a plan. Set a goal. Work toward it, but every now and then, look around; Drink it in 'cause this is it. It might all be gone tomorrow."

Meredith (closing voiceover)

There's a reason I said I'd be happy alone. It wasn't 'cause I thought I'd be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It's easier to be alone, because what if you learn that you need love and you don't have it? What if you like it and lean on it? What if you shape your life around it and then it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It's like dying. The only difference is death ends. This? It could go on forever.

Came to climbing late and got hooked. Still learning all the time. Gave up job as Headteacher of successful secondary school to indulge in it for a few years while still reasonably fit. Will try to write bestseller about adventures and live off huge profits.

Best Climbing Experience
Seeing the sun rise on a bitterly cold ascent of Mont Blanc: my first alpine peak & I've been hooked since. My first extreme lead one summer evening at the Roaches. Three days at the CIC Hut as winter turned into spring. Looking down on a firework display over Zermatt, having climbed the Matterhorn on Swiss National Day. Traverse of La Meije: from crepes flambes to poulet au citron. Watching a peregrine falcon soar above the Roaches on my first day back bouldering after a potentially fatal fall. Lost in a lonely and thrilling lead on the East Buttress of El Cap.

Favourite Climbing-Related Discussion Topic

The Changing Role Of The Management Accountant Commerce Essay

Published: Last Edited:

This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.

Charles Darwin the famous scientist who introduced the theory of natural selection said "In the struggle for survival, the fittest win out at the expense of their rivals because they succeed in adapting themselves best to their environment." He used this theory to explain the extinction of the dinosaurs from the earth.

I believe this theory in fact is not confined to species. It is a universal truth which is applicable to so many phenomena we see in our day to day lives. One such illustration is the transformation of finance function. The enormous change the corporate world underwent over the last few decades has inevitably pressurized the finance function to adapt to its operating environment. As a result, today the finance function is in the fore-front of decision making positioning itself as a business partner for the organization as opposed to a conventional support function.

It is in this context that every organization today should embark on the journey of transforming its finance function to adapt to the challenges of the modern business environment. It is needless to exaggerate the changes this brings about in the role of the management accountant. However being humans it is natural for us to resist such change. What we should remember nevertheless is that if we fail to adapt to these changes, our destiny would not be different to that of dinosaurs.

This reinforces the argument that tomorrow's successful management accountants will be the ones who not only understand the need & importance of finance transformation but also who take proactive measures to bring about effective change and eventually manage such change to ensure sustainability of the business.

2. Finance Transformation

2.1 How it has changed?

Accounting & Finance function over the centuries has evolved significantly from the basic double entry bookkeeping - the revolutionary concept which started it all. Today we live in a world where global companies exist and the finance function like so many other things in human life has transformed itself to cater the ever increasing demands of modern day businesses.

Let it be financial reporting, treasury management, budgeting or any other area in finance for that matter, there is visible transformation. For instance, bottom-line in financial jargon, only meant financial profitability until recently. But today organizations strive for a triple bottom-line which is way beyond the boundaries of financial profitability.

A recent research conducted by CIMA's centre of excellence at the University of Bath concluded the following changes (see Figure 1) as the most frequent changes faced by businesses.

Figure 1: Key changes faced by the Finance Function in the last decade

Source: CIMA - Centre for Excellence, Excellence in Leadership, December 2009, p.12

As per the above research data, an overwhelming majority of 96.4% has confirmed that there had been at least one change in their finance function for the period in concern. However the degree, to which these changes have been popular, may extremely vary with Cost reduction being the forerunner with a popularity of 59% while Outsourcing of non-routine tasks was confined to a mediocre 5.5%.

The same study later classifies these changes to four broad types and also pinpoints two main motives behind these changes namely Cost efficiency and Value creation (See Table 2).

Table 2: Classification of Changes Faced by the Finance Function

Source: CIMA - Centre for Excellence, Excellence in Leadership, December 2009, p.12

Cost Efficiency motive is where a business is keen to improve its output by using its resources more efficiently. On the other hand Value creation involves performing tasks in better ways whilst eliminating non-value adding activities such that the organization creates value in terms of profitability.

It is clear from the data (See Figure 1) that it is the Cost Efficiency based changes which were more prominent in businesses during the last decade. As the research suggests, Cost Reduction and Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) appear logical steps for organizations as they grow. The economies of scale, firms are expected to achieve with its size, rationalize such change. Further the world economic crisis stemmed in 2007 & prolongs to date would also have significantly influenced finance managers to run their businesses on tighter budgets and thus focus on efficiency based transformation.

Although cost efficiency measures, up to now, have had the upper hand in finance transformation, it is expected that the value based changes would take precedence in times to come, as finance functions embark on the journey to achieve the visionary "value creator" status.

2.2 Why has it changed?

So far we discussed how the finance function has evolved over the years. Let us now examine the underlying drivers which caused this dramatic change. This inevitably leads us to look at the changes that occurred in the environment in which businesses operate. One thing that surely comes to my mind is globalization. I believe this concept single handedly revolutionized the way people engaged in business. For instance virtual organizations such as Dell and online market places such as e-bay have not only been highly successful, but also have challenged the future viability of traditional business models.

However globalization is only one among many drivers of change as per CIMA's recent research findings on finance transformation. In fact it ranks well below the likes of increased competition & technological advancement which grabbed the top two spots in terms of popularity (See Figure 3).

Figure 3: Drivers of organizational change ranked in terms of popularity

Source: CIMA - Centre for Excellence, Excellence in Leadership, December 2009, p.15

Increased risk and uncertainty and External reporting requirements achieved 3rd and 4th places respectively with market development coming next. It is important to mention the part played by the collapses of big corporate giants such as Enron, Worldcom and subsequent changes it created in the finance function especially in terms of risk assessment models and stringent reporting guidelines.

The report further highlights some of the differences that exist within different business sectors.

For example, demographics are as twice as popular driver in public sector compared to the private sector in which competition & market dynamics are more prevalent.

In financial services industry risk & uncertainty is hailed above all drivers of change.

All these drivers subsequently created pressure on the tradition finance function and new finance & control models evolved to suit the new playing field.

3. The changing role of the management accountant in today's environment

3.1 The way forward

So far we analyzed the nature of finance transformation and its underlying causes. It is now high time to look at the evolving role of tomorrow's management accountant. Having acted as a steward for decades, today the finance professionals are increasingly pressurized to be a navigator or a business partner in performing his/her duties.

With reference to the previously mentioned study done by CIMA, it is evident that Business partnering is clearly emerging as a way forward for finance transformation.

Table 4: Business Partnering in finance function

Source: CIMA - Centre for Excellence, Excellence in Leadership, December 2009, p.11.

In its research report, Finance transformation & business partnering, CIMA - Centre for Excellence defines business partnering as a behavior which" involves members of the finance function acting as close advisors or internal consultants in greater collaboration and cross-functional working with others in the organization, so they can understand the business better, and provide the advice and support that is needed." [1]

The idea here is, for finance members to actively participate in the decision making process and take collective ownership of the decision as opposed to being passive advisors. However in order to do so, the finance professionals not only need to posses technical knowledge in finance & IT, they should also be equipped with extensive industry knowledge & business acumen. In addition to that, the need for enhanced interaction across all the levels in the organization would mean that the management accountants need to master necessary communication and interpersonal skills.

Further the traditional barriers that exist between departments would also need to be relaxed so that effective inter-functional associations are enabled. Erik ter Horst, Vice President - Finance, CFO EMEA and Latin America, BT, offering insights to CIMA's survey adds "for me, finance can only be functional if the finance function is a part of the whole organization" [2] .

However one might also argue that this may compensate the level of independence exercised by finance and hence affect the objectivity of its decisions. While acknowledging the possibility, Morten Sorensen, Finance Director Central Europe, Middle East and Asia Pacific, SSP, believes that the potential risk to the objectivity of finance function will be "outweighed by the additional value generated & at the end of the day it comes down to the integrity and professionalism of the individual." [3]

3.2 Finance transformation and the role of the Management Accountant at Bodyline

3.2.1 Background:

Bodyline Private Limited, a joint venture between MAST Industries, Triumph International & MAS Holdings, is one of the largest lingerie & sportswear manufactures in Sri Lanka with a workforce of around 6000 employees and an annual capacity of around 15 million pieces of bras. The company caters to some of the world's most glamorous brands including Victoria Secret, Nike, Marks & Spencer and Lane Bryant.

Over the last couple of years Bodyline has synergized its multi product - customer portfolio to its competitive advantage whilst investing on technologies such as bonding, 3D hemming and ultrasonic welding.

However the company is constantly facing stiff competition from low cost manufacturers in Asian countries such as Bangladsh & Vietnam, and as a result recently underwent drastic changes in its business model which in turn caused the finance function to transform accordingly.

3.2.2 Finance Transformation at Bodyline

Table 5: Changes faced by the finance function at Bodyline

Finance Function Change

Type of Change

Motive for Change

Greater emphasis on cost reduction

Projects to curb major cost overrun areas. E.g. Overtime Tracking Mechanism

Cost Efficiency

Increased outsourcing of routine tasks

Outsourcing of VAT Returns Process to a 3rd party

Increased Use of Shared Service Centers for routine tasks

Setting up a common commercial department in collaboration with MAS Intimates group

Increased work on product pricing

Developments of Pre & Post Order Profitability functions on SAP

Product Focus

Value Creation

Cross functional teams

Formation of customer teams comprising of representatives of different departments including finance

Focus on internal processes

Greater emphasis on poor performance within the organization

Facilitating greater depth in Performance Management. (Catering to Business, Departmental & Individual levels)

Increased external benchmarking of the whole organization

Risk assessments and external benchmarking activities leading to sound business decisions being taken

Source: Primary data collected from Bodyline

The above diagram depicts functional changes experienced by Bodyline Finance and it could be directly compared with Table 2 in page 3. (CIMA's original model) Cross Functional Teams:Â A drastic structural change was introduced few months back where cross functional teams (representing virtually all the departments) were formulated to uniquely cater each customer. A business analyst was appointed to each team to represent finance and he/she adheres to a dual reporting structure where the individual reports to the Head of Finance as well as to the Head of the respective customer account. Each customer team sits together in a separate area within the factory so that interaction between the members is enhanced.

However the transformation involved significant cultural change. People had to be convinced that the previous structure that had been adopted for the past 15 years was not the right way forward.Â  Members of finance worked very closely with the new leadership to change the internal structures & reporting lines to logical cross functional business teams to support customer expectations.

The management accountants involved in articulating the methodology of performance management systems including Key Performance Indicators as well as devising segmental reporting of customer bottom lines coupled with policy control deployment. This helped the people to understand the big picture and most importantly, where do they fit in to the new structure. The increased level of transparency helped us create a healthy competition among customer teams which in turn contributed to break the resistance to change whilst aggressively driving towards the achievement of business objectives. Greater emphasis on poor performance: Performance management initiatives across many departments & layers are being introduced with the direct involvement of finance which provides design to delivery solutions. For instance, the incentive scheme for sewing operators was changed to an efficiency based group incentive mechanism from an individual performance based incentive system, with finance department functioning as the project champion. This is one fine example where Bodyline's finance function operated as a true business partner coming out of its comfort zones, co-operating with the other relevant departments and executing the project to perfection. It is noteworthy to mention that whilst executing this project, complex human dynamics of 6,500 people and the cost implications of providing incentives to all of them were considered. A series of information sessions had to be conducted to manage the knowledge transfer requirement in terms of the new system. Nevertheless a significant increment in factory efficiency was noticed within the first month of project implementation.

In order to facilitate such advance business requirements, the finance function was strengthened with people having dual backgrounds. In other words, apart from hardcore finance graduates, Bodyline's finance team comprises of several apparel engineering graduates from the University of Moratuwa who are also qualified in CIMA. It is this unique resource combination that has enabled Bodyline's finance team to successfully strive for excellence amidst numerous challenges. Risk Analysis: The members of the finance department are also engaged in & analysis & assessment of risks facing the company, developing projections based on such risks to draw the attention of the management on high risk areas. For example early identification of the risks of Western economic recession, paved the way for the company to take immediate actions and thereby mitigate the impact of these adverse events at least to a certain extent. Cost Reduction: As a follow up action plan to Budget Monitoring, the finance team in collaboration with other departments initiated 4 major projects to cut down company's overhead cost. These are namely

Implementation of overtime cost tracking & controlling mechanism

A project to control transport expenditure

A project to control courier charges

A project to control stationary cost

A project leader is appointed from Finance for each project and this individual is solely responsible for delivering the objectives of the project. The leader is expected to collaborate with relevant departments, device an action plan, follow up action points and present the progress at the next month's budget monitoring session. Significant cost reductions were observed in each area with the inception of these projects.

On the other hand, these projects offer a great opportunity for the budding management accountants to move out their comfort zones, actively involve in cross cultural teams, learn and become business partners who actively participate in achieving the company's strategic objectives.Â Â Increased work on product pricing: To enhance the visibility of financial information at the Sales Order level, a project was initiated by finance with the collaboration of IT to develop SAP (the company's ERP system) based modules which calculates the expected profitability of a Sales order in the system itself. This process currently happens on spread sheets off the ERP system and as a result lot of information is duplicated and resources are wasted. The second phase of this project involves linking purchase order authorization procedure to sales order profitability so that an effective control on at the point of material purchases can be exercised.

Yet again this is a challenging project which requires the individual to move out of the comfort zones of an accountant and work with System users/IT specialists and to gather system requirements and thereby ensure effective system development is achieved later.

4. Conclusion

Modern day businesses experience change at a dramatic rate and whichever the ones that do not adapt quickly, would be gone before long. Being part of that business, the finance function can never isolate itself so should get accustomed to change.

If the finance function has to change, that indirectly means the management accountants should expect their roles to frequently change in future. In fact it is the management accountants who are expected to manage the process of finance transformation. As their roles evolve, tomorrow's management accountants will be expected to learn new skills (more often out of their comfort zones) work with cross functional teams and ultimately act as business partners who take responsibility for the collective decisions.

Although we all tend to resist change initially, we also might feel it is after all not so bad. It certainly brings opportunities & provided we take it in the right spirit we may end up being better off. The story of finance transformation at Bodyline is certainly of that type. Transforming was never an easy journey and it still is not. However as a team the finance function moved forward with positive attitude and as a result in the process has achieved so many milestones.

As I conclude, the fundamental point I wish to bring up is that the finance transformation is inevitable. Irrespective of whether we like it or not it's here to stay. However it is our decision either to embrace the change like a lizard which quickly changes its color to suit the environment and thereby survive through successful camouflaging or else ignore the change just like the dinosaur and simply extinct.

Worst big box development in your area

1 post in this topic

Big box chain stores ... there's often plenty of bad things to say about it. But sometimes, there's just some really bad things to say. Bad location or bad placement.

Example: In Auburn, Mass. there is a proposed Lowe's Home Improvement store at the site of the now closed Best Western hotel. The site is cramped and right next to a busy interchange between the Mass. Turnpike and State Route 12.;t=h&z=15

I'm surprised there's even any room for a big hardware store like that on the proposed lot. (It is just to the top/left of the "B" if you can see it. If no, it's between the toll plaza and the sidestreet to the left of Oxford Ave. North) There's a few better places in town they could have put one as well, except for the close to every major roadway in the area factor.

Not to be outdone was the opening of the Home Depot store in the neighboring town of Oxford. This store is just six miles south of another Home Depot in Auburn. And both are on the south side of the city of Worcester, Oxford heading towards the suburban fringe vs. Auburn being an inner ring suburb. I'm not sure why exactly the one in Oxford was even built in the first place, especially since it's in an otherwise vacant plaza. The population in the area is too low to support a second store, and you can tell from the largely empty store and parking lot in Oxford. Most in the south of Worcester region tended to travel to Auburn anyway, and still do with Oxford not having all the amenities the Auburn store does.;t=h&z=12

With that said... is there any big box or strip mall development in your area that made absolutely no sense? Bad placement, bad planning, both?

New Blog Series: The Five Elements of a Postal Solution

The Postal Service is one of America’s great institutions. It connects 150 million households and businesses and is the bedrock infrastructure of the American economy and society. Yet the Postal Service faces powerful and unpredictable forces. These forces – the economic downturn, the Digital Age, globalization, and statutory and regulatory demands – are fundamentally changing its outlook for the future. Actions are needed by postal management and Congress to assure that all Americans have universal access and the opportunity to take part in the emerging new world.

The movement to online postage transactions certainly mirrors the larger societal shift toward e-commerce and mobile commerce. But the big shift over the holidays to alternative access could also be the result of reduced hours at some post offices. Customers will shop where they find it most convenient, and in some locations post offices are opened only a few hours a day. This certainly makes Village Post Offices and contract postal units, self-service kiosks, and online purchasing more attractive. Many of these options are available 24 hours a day.

The U.S. Postal Service recognizes that it needs to be where people find it most convenient to buy postage or other mailing services. The Postmaster General stated as much at the recent Mailers’ Technical Advisory Committee meeting when addressing alternative access, including the Postal Service’s decision to partner with Staples. But alternative access retail options have limitations, which if not addressed could frustrate customers and leave some money on the table.

Our recent audit of self-service kiosks found that customers are not using kiosks as much as anticipated for a few reasons: they sometimes are located in hidden parts of the lobby; kiosk signage is not always visible; and lobby assistants are not always available or fully trained to help customers help themselves. In addition, self-service kiosks are generally housed in retail outlets with the highest mail volume, primarily urban and suburban areas. Low-traffic retail outlets, often in rural areas, get a double whammy. They are not likely to have a kiosk and their Post Office hours are reduced.

How can the Postal Service ensure that customers receive suitable services while reining in operating costs? Does the Postal Service need more self-service kiosks, or should it redistribute the 2,500 now in service? What incentives might the Postal Service offer merchants to house Village Post Offices? Or should the Postal Service restore hours to its own post offices, even those that are not profitable?

    I have used and appreciated your service a long time. I am enjoying the internet service also. I do have a suggestion though, when I want to buy stamps online you charge for shipping?????? Wow not a good idea. Any costs associated with your shipping is a tax deduction and should not be passed on to the consumer, where in person it is not charged. Many people like myself are disabled and older who don't get out much. With all the wonderful new features and suggestions I have read about I think you could generate more income with good will, a dying breed . Respectfully marsala

    I like using the self-service kiosk, but often find the one at my local post office isn't working. It's conveniently located in an outer lobby near PO boxes, so it is available even when the retail counter is closed. It's just not in service too frequently. Of course, it could be down just occasionally, but after a few visits and no kiosk in service, I'm inclined to buy my postage at Safeway and ship another way.

    You hit part of the answer.....result of reduced hours..... the second part.......Long lines created by reduction in clerks available to customers.... "the postal service needs to be where people find it most convenient..." Closing long established po's and replacing them with new offices away from customers......Closing post offices during lunch hours ( when people would go to the post office)...These are not signs of a postal service giving good service. How many people actually like self-service vs a friendly helpful human being.....Just look in stores with self-checkout aisles and see which people prefer to use... While talking about profitability of individual post offices...Please explain what income is counted and what expenses are charged? After showing them in an audit project mode, you would receive good feedback. You might even discover that many po's classifies as unprofitable actually are not.

Dr. Rong Wang

Rong (1984) started her study in Chemical Engineering and Technology at the Huaihai Institute of Technology. After finishing her bachelor’s in 2008, she continued her Master education in Applied Chemistry at Soochow University, China. During her master program, she performed her master’s thesis “Functional Polycarbonate Polymers for the Tissue Engineering”. Since February of 2012, she is working as a PhD student in Prof. Dr. Piet Dijkstra research group at University of Twente, The Netherlands.

Summary of research

Injectable biodegradable hydrogels based on polysaccharide tyramine conjugates have been developed in the past years especially for cartilage regeneration. These materials do allow minimally invasive surgery, optimal defect filling, and adhesion to the present ECM. Chondrocytes incorporated in these hydrogels show production of a new ECM (collagen and glycosamino-glycans). In the current project the physical, chemical and mechanical parameters that are involved in the formation of functional cartilage will be studied. Emphasis will be on incorporation and release of bioactive molecules (growth factors) and coupling of adhesion peptides. Focus on development of (printable) formulations by exploring hydrogels based on synthetic and natural polymers with pre-designed scaffold architectures and incorporated (stem) cells.
