SINGAPORE: Insurance company AXA Singapore has said it intends to recover from the estate of deceased driver Ma Chi whatever payouts it makes to victims involved in the Ferrari crash in May.
This is on top of its decision to reject any liability it has to offer a payout to Ma's estate.
The accident saw Ma, a China national, allegedly running a red light and colliding with a taxi, which then crashed into a motorcycle.
Three people died from the collision.
They included Ma, taxi driver Mr Cheng Teck Hock and his passenger Ms Shigemi Ito.
Ma Chi's wife and mother took AXA Singapore to court after the insurance company said it was withdrawing coverage of the fatal incident.
Channel NewsAsia understands that the cost of the payout is equivalent to the cost of a brand new Ferrari 599 GTO, which is worth about $1,539,200.
Under the law here, all road traffic victims who are injured or fatally injured by motor vehicles on public roads would receive the appropriate compensation.
But AXA Singapore, which is represented by United Legal Alliance, explained that the collision was not considered an "accident" under its insurance policy.
Its lawyers highlighted that Ma had driven the car "at an extremely excessive speed, far above the road speed limit of 60km/h."
They also noted that Ma failed to stop at the junction despite the lights showing red, failed to stop or slow down to avoid the collision, and collided into the taxi resulting in the taxi hitting a motorcycle.
The defence counsel claimed that Ma's conduct was "so clearly reckless and dangerous that it was not a risk intended to be covered under the insurance policy."
They also argued that Ma was "doing an act which he knew or ought to have known was courting imminent death to himself and others."
The insurance company added that "the collision was highly probable, forseeable and to be expected."
According to AXA Singapore, this means that any deaths or injuries in the collision was not due to "an accidental means" under its policy.
Ma was not drunk at the time of the deadly crash, according to a Health Sciences Authority report.
Channel NewsAsia understands that none of the third party victims - Mr Cheng Teck Hong, Ms Shigemi Ito, Ms Wu Weiwei, who was in Ma's car, and motorcyclist Mr Muhammad Najib Ghazali, have made any claims against AXA Singapore at this point.
AXA Singapore said that it is prepared to pay compensation to third party victims even if no judgment has been entered against Ma's Estate, "subject to Ma Chi's Estate agreement or the Court's direction."
But it added that it intends to recover the claims from Ma's estate with its counterclaim.
AXA first informed the Ma family of its decision to reject liability earlier this year.
Shortly after, the family stated that they disagreed with AXA's position.
A spokesperson from AXA Singapore said that the counterclaim is a standard process in the case of a repudiated or voided policy.
A pre-trial conference is expected to take place in October.

Being able to live your passions is very appealing, but it remains a distant dream for most people.
We're happiest and at our best consistently when we're doing things we love. Joy is our inner guidance system.
Whenever we're not experiencing joy, it's usually a sign we're off-course in life. This means we're engaged in activities that aren't meaningful to us.
One key to a meaningful life is to do what we love. Our passions are things we love.
What Does it Mean to Live Your Passions?
When we live our passions, it means we're doing things that bring us joy.
In his book, Aspire, Kevin Hall reveals the real meaning of passion is being willing to suffer for what you love.
He states, "When we discover what we are willing to pay a price for, we discover our life's mission and purpose."
Our quality of life will improve when we're living our passions.

Without the kindness and generosity of people such as yourself, HorseWorld Trust simply wouldn't be able to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home the large number of horses, ponies and donkeys it sees through the gates every year.
Since 1952, HorseWorld has been working against all odds to ensure the best life for equines in need. It is our vision to create a future where no horse, pony or donkey is denied the fundamental rights of welfare: we believe that every equine should have the right to a suitable environment in which to reside, a suitable diet, the freedom to exhibit natural behaviour, and to be protected from pain, suffering, injury or disease.
The majority of the horses we rescue arrive at HorseWorld having never experienced a single act of kindness or compassion, yet despite the hardships they have faced they are still able to demonstration love and gratitude towards us. Your generosity allows us to continue protecting these gentle animals from a life of abuse and neglect and to provide them with the ongoing respect they deserve.
We can't do this without you.
HorseWorld is entirely funded by voluntary donations. Without public income it would be impossible for us to provide shelter, food and veterinary care to the 100+ vulnerable horses on site and the thousands more waiting for our help going forward. By thinking of us, you are enabling a lasting beacon of hope to shine for animals in need.
Like you, we care about protecting horses from cruelty and want to encourage first-class standards of welfare to all horse owners. We see first-hand the transformation that good veterinary care, a healthy diet and a safe environment can make on a horse and are lucky enough to witness how public donations make this possible. Your gift will ensure we can turn this possibility into a guarantee for the foreseeable future.
Thank you for making possible the ongoing care and support for hundreds of equines in the South West.

James' Story
James was just three days old when he was rescued by HorseWorld. He was abandoned without his mother and left to die on a common in Wales. It was on one of the hottest days of the year and without his mother's milk and protection he would have died within a matter of hours.
Orphaned James was bottle fed by HorseWorld grooms throughout the day and night
The HorseWorld team of dedicated grooms provided James with around-the-clock intensive nursing, getting up every hour of the night to give the poorly foal his bottle. Thanks to the support of people like you, we were able to save James's life. An appeal in the press and media helped us to find him a foster mum and he grew up as happy, lively and contented as any other youngster!James is safe now, but we still need your help and support.

SONGS AND CELEBRATION: Several spots around the Golden State will be honoring El Día del Niño on or around Sunday, April 10. The Santa Barbara Zoo's party will include a "children's talent show" as well as entertainment and eats as well. There's no extra fee for attending; just admission to the zoo is all that's required. The Monterey Bay Aquarium is waiving admission for visitors 12 and under during its Day of the Child revelries. There will be several goings-on, including mariachi performances and a performance by amazing chanteuse (and former Leonard Cohen back-up singer) Perla Batalla.

With the transition to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) speeding up, states are faced with the prospect of having to "double-test" their students in 2013-14 – administering both the new field test tied to the CCSS and the statewide standardized test. On Tuesday, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan responded to the concerns of educators across the country by announcing a waiver that would free students of this burden and allow states to give only one end-of-year test. Duncan is also inviting the 37 states that have gotten waivers from parts of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to apply for a delay in using high-stakes tests to evaluate teachers.
"We want to support states that would like to avoid double-testing, which as you know often happens during the shift to a new test," Duncan said in a letter addressed to chief state school officers.
About the delay in new teacher evaluations, Duncan said, "Given the move to college- and career-ready standards, the dramatic changes in curricula that teachers and principals are now starting to teach, and the transition to new assessments aligned to those standards, the Department will consider, on a state-by-state basis, allowing states up to one additional year before using their new evaluation systems to inform personnel determinations."
Duncan's move is widely seen as an acknowledgment that, with the rapid implementation of the Common Core, too much is changing too soon. Tuesday's announcement is undoubtedly welcome news to schools that are feeling the pressure from the transition.
While many teachers have embraced the higher standards of the CCSS, Duncan heard from educators and a number of state officials who told him it was important to hold off on the consequences for teachers and principals while they come up to speed.
"These concerns are real and honest," Duncan said. States can delay high-stakes testing consequences for up to one year until 2016-17.
To avoid "double-testing," the Department of Education will allow schools to administer only one assessment in 2013-14 – either the current statewide assessment or the Common Core field test.
National Education Association President Dennis Van Roekel said the announcement was a "step in the right direction." The NEA has long been calling for an end to high-stake testing consequences, particularly during the Common Core transition period.
"We applaud the Department of Education for this common-sense flexibility that will allow educators and students to focus primarily on teaching and learning rather than high-stakes standardized tests. This flexibility will ensure that as new and better assessments are being field tested and piloted, students are not forced to take outdated state tests as well. Without this flexibility, students will be wasting precious time taking unnecessary tests.
"We must take the necessary time to get it right."

O'Rourke: Better on vinyl
In the not-too-distant future I see a man rooting through his garage and coming across a box containing the music of his youth. He opens it, blows the dust off the jewel cases and hears the question, "What are those, Dad?" The man explains that when he was younger he would buy his favorite music on "compact discs." His child will look puzzled, pick up one of the CDs and ask if they can play it. The man will shake his head sadly and explain that they don't make CD players anymore and the one he cherished was sold at a garage sale years before. Now we just download music, he'll explain.
The modern-day version of that scenario played out in my own garage this week. My wife had excavated a long-forgotten cardboard box filled with record albums. We opened it, blew the dust off the top and heard our youngest daughter ask, "What are those, Dad?" She looked at the music collection of my youth like they were objects that had fallen from another planet. As impossible as it seemed for me to believe none of my children have ever owned a record - or a record player for that matter.
"Why do you have two of some of them?" she asked.
We have duplicates because most of these records were purchased before we got married. My wife had a much better collection, and you can tell which ones she brought into the relationship because, like all things, she took better care of her records. Mine are covered with scratches.
The nostalgic part of me wants to believe that music just sounded better on vinyl. It isn't true. We forget the hissing, popping and skipping that came with vinyl record. Recorded music today sounds better than ever. The technology is superior but the romance has dissipated.
I can remember buying almost each and every record in my collection. I would spend hours at Sound Warehouse or, even better, Apple Records on San Pedro and look at each and every album trying to decide what my budget would allow. I don't think anyone has ever looked at their iTunes library and exclaimed, "Wow, I remember exactly where I was when I downloaded that song."
Record stores had listening booths where you could pop on a pair of headphones and decide if this was the record for you. There was a bond you would form with the shoppers who perused in similar sections. The people who worked at the store were knowledgeable and quick with suggested listening.
There was a romance to purchasing and owning record albums. When you would go to a friend's house the first thing you did was flip through his records. When you listened to a record you would hold the album sleeve and stare at the artwork on the cover.
The daughters listened and nodded as they often do, but as with so many time capsule experiences, you had to live it to really appreciate how special it was.
Putting the box of records back in the corner I made a mental note to check eBay for a cheap record player. There will be popping, hissing and skipping but I really don't think I will mind.

While Nora can be received well in modern times, in the 1860's Nora was highly criticized. "In fact, Nora's declaration of independence in the play prompted such heated discussions among the public that the topic had to be declared off-limits at social gatherings." (Moss, 116) Nora's actions were so controversial that it prompted people to talk about her as if she were a real person, rather than a character in a play. Others criticized Nora for her naiveté. "Nora has always been a child; her father, a man devoted of easy conscience, has brought her up entirely unsophisticated. She knows nothing of the serious side of life—of its privileges, its real opportunities—nothing of the duties of the individual in a world of action." (W.E. Simmons 119) This was a common criticism of Nora, that she had no right to leave her husband and c...

...a is a winner of this race. She proves not only to be the epitome of a powerful, independent, clear-headed woman, but also that society's mores need not dictate the way a girl live. Nora grows to be the true archetype of feminism. "Feminist: a person who believes in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes." (TED)

Nora Helmer and Torvald Helmer are introduced to be the main characters and the victims of the social pressures that define the perfect man and the perfect woman. Throughout the play, we see the relationship between Nora and Torvald going from childish, to desperation and finally ending with a sense of reality.... [tags: Henrik Ibsen, A Doll's House]

The heart of any institution is its people and the OpenHMIS project is creating tools to enable that "heart" to run more smoothly. Providing quality medical services is a challenge and OpenMRS is a great help to meet that challenge, but it does not directly address the administrative needs of a medical institution. This is where the OpenHMIS modules come in: we are creating OpenMRS modules that provide the tools to help institutions run more effectively.
The OpenHMIS Inventory Module is a simple inventory management system that runs within OpenMRS. As the name implies, it is a tool to help with inventory management and is at the center of many other institutional services such as Billing, Pharmacy, and Lab. This module specifically targets small-mid sized institutions that need a simple inventory management system and thus does not (currently) provide all the features that a more full-fledged inventory management system has. The main features include:
Future versions may include support for:
|Release Notes
The REST Web Services module must first be configured if this has not already been done.
The configuration for the Inventory Module is done through global options which can be accessed via the Administration / Settings page.
Inventory Auto Generate Operation Number: Whether or not to generate an operation number when a new stock operation is created.
Inventory Operation Number Identifier Source Id The ID of the Idgen module identifier source. Instructions for finding this ID can be found here.
Once the module has been installed, an OpenHMIS Inventory Module section will appear on the administration page with the following screens:
Add or remove the required privileges to use the inventory module to/from a role or create a new role with those privileges.
Manage the items that are used by your institution.
Manage the departments for items.
Manage the external institutions that item stock can be distributed to.
Manage the stockrooms and view stockroom details.
Manage the stockroom operation types.
View and process stockroom operations.
Generate item to concept mappings,
To effectively use the inventory module, it is important to understand the different objects and how they relate.
|The information about a product or service that can be purchased or tracked at an institution.
|Item Stock
|A physical item that is located in a stockroom or distributed to an external institution or patient. This includes a quantity and an optional expiration date. Item stock can only be created for items that are marked as having physical inventory.
|A location where item stock is stored.
|Stock Operation Type
The kind of stock operation to be performed. The module currently includes six stock operation types:
|Stock Operation
|Moves one or more item stock into, within, or out from the institution, as defined by the Stock Operation Type.
|Records the individual changes in item stock in a given stockroom. For example, if a single item stock is transferred from the Main stockroom to the Pharmacy stockroom, two transactions would be created; one for the item stock subtraction from Main and another for the item stock addition to Pharmacy.
All item stock changes occur via Stock Operations

And a child-like curiosity. I am an ardent believer in the preservation of the child's curiosity. It is our innate nature to be curious. Maturity should not deprave people of their curiosity but instead builds on it. I do not see maturity as a repositioning from one extreme to another but a transfiguration that does not need to be forced but to be nurtured. From the child to the adult being.
So be true, be curious, and grow to be great.

Jack in the Box's Bacon Shake is Vegetarian...Not Healthy
This newest fast food frenzy froths with so many problems, it's enough to make me fully vegan. A list is in order:
- According to Jack in the Box, it's vegetarian-- if you don't mind taking your synthetic swine taste via flavored syrup mixed with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and maraschino cherries. Shouldn't a milkshake be vegetarian anyway?
- At more than 1,000 calories for a large shake, a low-activity person could only take in an extra 500-700 calories that day to maintain a weight that wouldn't increase their odds of becoming overweight or obese.
Let's check out the nutritional value: 184mg of cholesterol, 461mg of sodium, and 108 grams of sugar. (Here's the truth about sugar, and this shake happens to have mounds of it.)
An E. coli-tainted ground beef outbreak at Jack in the Box restaurants left four children dead. Still want that shake?
Dairy bombs like this one also rank right up there with meat consumption with producing greenhouse gas emissions. Let alone, low-dairy and no-dairy diets are showing to improve health. Dairy has been linked to high cholesterol and some studies suggest an increased risk of some cancers from eating three or more servings a day of dairy, especially prostate cancer in men.
Beyond Bacon ShakesI know, I couldn't have ended my bacon shake rant on more of a Debby downer note, so I leave you with this glass half creamy and full. Shakes can be healthy and delicious. If in a jam at Jack in the Box, you're better off with their regular-sized Strawberry Banana Smoothie. The calories clock in at just under 300 and the sugar is a fraction of the meat lover's edition. Better yet, make your own shake or smoothie to sate your sweet tooth, naturally. Here are three recipes to help:
Pumpkin Spice Smoothie
Emeril's Almond Milk Shake
Ani Phyo's Superfood Shake

Peter KohlÖffel - National Sales Manager – ProActive™, believes that delivering on client expectations hinges a great deal upon delivering on consumer needs.
Let's face it: economically, times are tough. Yet we know that in tough economic times, it's the brands that find the gaps in this market, those that continue to market and advertise themselves that come out on top. But how do we as marketers fit our offerings into tighter budgets while still delivering service that meets, if not exceeds, the highest standards?
It's a tricky one. We all know what you get if you pay peanuts. However, great marketing isn't about cutting budget, it's about doing amazing things within the confines of that budget. We live in exciting times and it's not only client expectations that are evolving; consumer expectations are changing all the time. As such, the way we as marketers and agencies engage with consumers on behalf of a brand, means that we need to constantly be ahead of our game.
Today's consumers are empowered, smarter, better connected, and more informed. As such, we need to continuously exceed their expectations. We need to surprise, delight and be memorable, to ensure that the brand in question breaks through the clutter. We need to create a meaningful and profitable relationship with consumers on behalf of our clients. And herein lies the clue: profitable.
At the end of the day, when the activations have been implemented and consumers have been engaged with campaigns that are relevant and timeous, it's about delivering effective ROI for a brand. It's about driving consumers to buy into a service or putting a product into their shopping basket. This result is the only one that truly counts when we look back on the effectiveness of a campaign, and in trying economic times, becomes increasingly important. Retaining margins cannot be achieved through the cutting of the marketing budget.
The short term result may reflect positively on the bottom line since the marketing budget reduction initially replaces the returns lost from sales. It should be argued however that marketing budgets and campaigns should be increased in order to keep the brand top of mind. When consumers once more have the disposable income required to purchase additional goods and services, it's the brands that are top of mind which rise above the rest, and reclaim, or reinforce their market position.
Activations are about mutual value. It's the connection between brand and consumer as well as brand and activations agency. It's the three-way relationship that simultaneously delivers relevant experiences to consumers, resulting in conversions and ultimately greater profitability to the brand.
Offering effective returns to clients through the provision of targeted and relevant experiences within the allocated budgets is the key to successful client-agency relationships. This ensures the efficacy of the relationship, and is one of the drivers behind results that often exceed client expectations.

|The growing trend towards home automation is expected to pay handsome dividends for C.T.C. Coils Ltd, whose products are used in devices such as digital electricity meters
How did a small business like C.T.C. Coils Ltd become the first company to introduce Hong Kong to locally-produced SMT power inductors and explore the market? Vision is the answer, according to C.T.C. financial controller Edwin S.W. Li.
"In the early years, the company focused on the epoxy-coated fixed inductors used in a wide range of electronic products such as hi-fi receivers, fax machines, cordless phones and electronic toys," Li explains. However, competition got tough and C.T.C., which was established by managing director Alfred Wong in 1985 and became a limited company in 1989, decided to introduce SMT power inductors before its competitors did. The innovation was an immediate success, and C.T.C. currently offers SMT power inductors with or without base with standard 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10mm diameter cores.
Li believes C.T.C.'s ongoing success, which manifests itself in the form of a monthly production of 15 million pieces, is due to the hands-on, systematic approach adopted by its management. For example, C.T.C. developed a closer relationship with its network of roughly 100 suppliers in Taiwan, the US, Japan and the Chinese mainland when sales dropped 30% in 2001 following the global economic downturn. "We talked frankly to them and pressed the point that if we didn't work together to continuously provide quality products and service, there would be no orders," Li recalls. Presently, C.T.C. has maintained suppliers that can provide materials quickly following a noticeable trend towards placing orders at short notice.
This commitment to producing quality coils flows through to regular QC personnel and a quality management team that focuses on overall quality in relation to incoming raw materials, production, products, packing and services. These measures helped C.T.C. become the first local coil manufacturer to be accredited with ISO 9002 certification in 1998, which was followed by ISO 9001 certification in May of 2002.
Staff training plays an equally important part in C.T.C.'s drive to manufacture quality goods. Skills are kept up-to-date with regular refresher courses, while staff have to take a test before and after training to ensure they meet the required standard.
C.T.C. also extends its hands-on, systematic approach to its customers. "We send out a survey with questions on service, products and quality to our customers once a year and then later send them the results of our survey," Li explains.
Looking ahead, the company wants to boost its customer base significantly. Although C.T.C.'s main markets are currently in Europe, the US and Australia, it is also seeking to expand onto the Chinese mainland. C.T.C. has applied to the Chinese government for a licence to establish a solely foreign-funded enterprise to handle its mainland business.
In addition C.T.C. last year became the major supplier of coils and inductors to the Intelligent Electric Metering Project, which will see its Italian manufacturer supply and install digital meters in all households in Italy. "The home automation trend will be followed by other EU countries such as France, the UK and Germany," Li predicts. "Potential demand for digital electricity meters, which each contain several coils, is expected to be very high in years to come."
The company's 6,500-square-metre factory employing 500 workers in Dongguan on the mainland will undoubtedly have to be expanded to cope with the increasing demand, but C.T.C. has proved it has the capability and vision to cope with the challenges of success.

¶ … Strategic Plans
Developing and Implementing Strategic Plans
Assessment 1 is Develop a Strategic Plan for Telstra
This paper discusses a proposed strategic plan for Telstra Company. It presents the goals and objectives, vision, mission, PEST analysis and a monitoring and evaluation criterion.
Telstra's segmentation approach is related to the primary conditions established in external marketplaces as compared to the production cost linkages. The main aspects, in this case, include common manufacturing facilities, technical linkages, and standard technology, and common distribution channels. The issues suggested are inclusive of collections of markets and products which are presented by different sets of competitors (Kelly, 2006). The goal also has a similar influence on price changes and the satisfaction of single customer sets. The top management is also impacted by drastic changes in terms of quality and style. Composite products show substitutes of other diversified corporate businesses.
3. Vision and mission
A world leader in engaging full participation in and contribution to sustainable development of an equitable and peaceful society
To develop the capacity of businesses to act together through learning from each other on ways of engaging with alternative institutions involved in shaping people's lives.
Core Values
Diversity: Recognizing that plurality of the product lines as the strengthen core and foundation based on people's diversity in fulfilling the mission. This will establish commitment towards opportunity equality for all and respect for difference (Steiner, 2010).
Collaboration: Recognizing that responsive, accountable and effective corporate governance requires inputs of each stakeholder, Telstra will share lessons generated in the participation of industrial performance (Camillus, 2006). The firm desires to inspire dialogue across different fronts up, promoting consultations, forging partnerships, building consensus, facilitating convergence and engaging diverse stakeholders.
Integrity; Recognizing that business organizations are answerable to all constituents; Telstra will act in the thorough and transparent manner in all undertakings. The firm is committed towards demonstration of accountability to all stakeholders.
4. Environmental analysis
The political environment in which Telstra operates is rather stable and static which limits the tendencies of harmful legal relations with the government.
The economic environment is relatively harsh as International currencies are exerting more pressure on the value of local and regional currencies.
The social environment is volatile as the staunch religious and firm cultural beliefs negatively influence consumer decisions.
The technology environment is fast changing and firms are struggling to keep up with the trends leading to the high acquisition and maintenance costs.
5. SWOT analysis
One of the strengths of Telstra is the availability of financial and qualified human resource capabilities.
The main weakness is the frequent changes in the organizational structure.
The firm has an opportunity of competitively operating with strategic partners.
The threat that the firm faces relates to high technological costs.
6. Gap analysis
Previously, the firm had not phased its operations. This led to a breakdown of alternative ground in an organization. This signaled a determination to make application and focus on outcomes orientation in the main works. The gap failed to respond to immediate mandates that collectively developed staff inputs in the stakeholder inclusiveness.
7. Implementation
The implementation of the strategic plan will take place in eight months. This will include circulation of business information and communication of the plan. Top management will work on gaining support from different stakeholders while delegating various roles and tasks (Kelly, 2006).
8. Review and evaluation
Top management will appoint a monitoring and evaluation team. The review process will use key performance indicators and strategic milestones for continual improvement and identification of the implemented review changes. This will require discussion of effective plans and methods aimed at improving strategic planning processes in future.
9. Evaluation of achievements
The evaluation criterion will take different functional involvement forms in the ascertained steps (Steiner, 2010). The first aspect is relatively passive participation that calls for functional managers to focus on broad action programs and business strategies prepared by businesses and concurrence votes. If the functional managers at Telstra decide that the business plan is unacceptable due to unrealistic or inadequate commitments in functional areas, corresponding functional managers should issue non-concurrence statements (Kelly, 2006). The non-concurrences will be resolved on the basis of bilateral discussions between functional and business managers. If such agreements are not reached, non-concurrence issues will escalate based on organizational hierarchy towards a final resolution. Strategic partners can adopt the planning mode.
10. Legislation
There are some legislation and by-laws that could impact on Telstra's business operation. It is critical to appreciate that various forms of strategic laws affect businesses (Camillus, 2006). Despite them contributing towards similar purposes, the improvement of the firm's capabilities will be governed by the accounting rules in treating each item differently. The investment will focus on increasing net assets on balance sheets, and other annual expenses against depreciation indices for profit and loss statements. Increments in the working capital enlarge net assets, but without annual cost repercussions (Wittmann & Reuter, 2008). Development expenses, in this case, will be charged as expenses within current year income statements and the additions to assets. The considerations point to dysfunctional behavior resulting in business managers having the unwillingness to commit themselves towards significant strategic expenses. This is a trend observed whenever there is a need to reward appropriately and monitor myopic management control systems (Steiner, 2010).
Assessment 2: ORAL/WRITTEN QUESTIONS
1) Legislation that may impact on the organization
One of the legislation affecting organizations is competition law. Competition law focuses on ensuring that fair competition is undertaken in various industries (Wittmann & Reuter, 2008). Governments hold that greater competition allows for lower prices, a wider variety of products and better quality goods. For instance, agencies such as Office of Fair Trading (OFT) and the Competition Commission (CC) investigate businesses that have more than 25% market share after merging with other businesses. The organizations feel that such businesses have excessive power and have the ability to set high prices while providing poor quality products. The regulators have the power to fine the businesses or prevent mergers from taking place (Camillus, 2006). Governments may fine businesses that fix prices and prevent other businesses from trading within similar markets.
The other forms of legislation are Consumer Protection laws. The legislation targets businesses that act unfairly towards consumers. This is especially noted as consumers are mostly in weaker financial position. Main consumer protection laws include Sale and Supply of Goods Act stating that goods sold should be of satisfactory value and quality. The Trade Description Act requires that services and goods perform in the manner advertised by businesses (Wittmann & Reuter, 2008). Consumer Credit Act protects consumers when buying on credit or borrowing money. Consumer protection adds extra costs to firms as there is intense need to comply with existing laws. If there is a lack of compliance, they risk fines and being put out of business through court orders.
2) Strategic Planning Methodologies
One of the viable methodologies is organic strategic planning. This conventional model is considered confining and linear in its application (Camillus, 2006). In such case, organizations are dynamic and robust systems that are changing. The plans produce conventional planning with quick obsolescence.
The model includes phases such as:
1. Articulate long-term vision and values to work to the vision of people gathered from the generation or community.
2. Persons leave that vision with a selection of realistic actions that are taken towards the prior vision meeting again.
3. People can regularly meet in reporting actions that take learning from them. The vision is further clarified through the meetings.
4. Occasionally, the lists and the vision of intended and accomplished actions are included in the Strategic Plan.
The second approach includes Issues-based strategic planning. The model works best for the firm had very limited resources, several major and current issues to address, minimal success with attaining ambitious goals, and little buy-ins to a strategic planning (Steiner, 2010). The model includes the phases such as:
1. Identify 6 of the important current issues that organizations faces.
2. Suggest action plans aimed at addressing issues over the next eight months.
3. Include information on the Strategic Plan.
3) Knowledge of competitors
It is critical to appreciate the existing activities and progress of the competition. If competitors are in service businesses, it is important to know whether they have changed their offerings or created new combined services (Camillus, 2006). Such information includes going into partnerships with related companies of diversifying their offerings to accommodate innovation. The retail businesses benefit from knowing whether competitors have slashed prices, sourced alternative product types, changed ownership, rebranded, or started marketing themselves in different ways. These aspects are important in impacting change in the manner that people run businesses. A critical source of information about competitors is customers. Talking to them about immediate perceptions of business and other elements of the sector is important (Kelly, 2006). The mystery shopping trends and sending friends along to competitor's shop and giving them calls to find out what they offer is a way of handling customer information. Even… [END OF PREVIEW]

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'netlingo' tag.
As I was roaming around the web today, I realized that the world is divided into two camps: those that LOL and those that don't.
Now, even though I'm generally an upbeat person, I've never for the life of me understood the ubiquitous use of the acronym, LOL. I've got to be honest. I've never LOLed a day in my life. Not once have I texted "LOL" to anyone, ever. I don't SMH, and I don't tell you what I think IMHO.
If you ask me, TOBAL (There Ought To Be A Law) against the LOL!
Of course, I'm just venting. These acronyms are perfectly harmless, even in good fun, really. They're the Esperanto of the internet, and they really have become the parlance of the people.
But sometimes it seems as if we've lost the ability to just be together as human beings. At a Broadway show last month, Patti LuPone stalked offstage, in character, and confiscated a cell phone from a woman who'd been texting throughout the entire show. Isn't it possible to disconnect for a night at the theater? What do we think we're going to miss? What's better than LuPone on Broadway? Maybe she was texting Barbra Streisand!
When you really think about it, we're all ISO a genuine connection, and that's why we're so attached to our devices. NALOPKT, but TM, it's true.
So when we're at a Broadway show, we think BWTM! It's as if we have FOMO on something big happening somewhere else while we actually traipse around IRL.
Listen, I don't want to sound like a POTATO using all this net lingo, but SSEWBA and we won't know how to talk F2F.
Well, TFLMS. C4N!
- ISO = In Search Of
- NALOPKT = Not a Lot of People Know That
- TM = Trust Me
- BWTM = But Wait, There's More!
- FOMO = Fear of Missing Out
- IRL = In Real Life
- POTATO = Person Over Thirty Acting Twenty One
- SSEWBA = Someday Soon, Everything Will Be Acronyms
- F2F = Face to Face
- TFLMS = Thanks for Letting Me Share
- C4N = Ciao For Now!

Gas Combination Boilers
109 products
Gas Heat Only Boilers
43 products
Gas System Boilers
46 products
Gas boilers are heart of your central heating system and come in various types, sizes and outputs to suit your heating requirements. Our gas boiler range consists of gas combination boilers, gas system boilers, gas regular boilers, gas back boilers and gas storage boilers. Gas combi boilers are the most popular purchased in the UK as their compact dimensions and one box solution make it a convenient and money saving system. Gas system boilers work with hot water cylinders which over great hot water performance ideal for large families and come with system components built in making it easier to install. Gas regular boilers are great value and come in a wide range of outputs to suit small flats to large homes and are commonly purchased for replacing an existing model.
A boiler is a closed vessel in which fluids are heated. Much like us here at BHL gas boilers achieve high efficiency – by condensing water vapour in the exhaust gases and so recovering its latent heat of vaporisation, which would otherwise have been wasted. At BHL we like to keep waste at a minimum, therefore we won't waste time in helping you find the perfect gas boiler. The fluid does not always necessarily boil; the heated or vaporised fluid exits the boiler for use in various processes or heating applications. BHL are seeking to help those looking for natural gas boilers to fulfil their heated dreams. Gas boilers and furnaces can be fuelled by either natural gas or propane with simple modifications accounting for the different characteristics of the fuels. Our wide variety of choice will have you in a sweat; BHL can cater for people everywhere, also gas boilers are extremely favourable in practicality, just like the staff here at BHL. With compact dimensions and one box solution, gas boilers are an appropriate money saving strategy. Gas system boilers come with fantastic hot water performance and built in system component, ensuring an effortless installation. Commonly purchased to replace an existing boiler, gas combination boilers are on fire in the UK, being the most popular purchased boiler.
Big Branded Boilers:
BHL wares a wide scope of branded boilers to suit your requirements. From Alpha to Worcester, BHL can guarantee we supply the most reputable brands on the market. Alpha is committed to the on-going development of innovative heating products. They're renowned for their condensing boilers. Biasi boilers experience of creating highly efficient oil fired boilers spans over 25 years evince their ability to create a perfect systematic boiler. Potterton's award winning condensing boiler range is available in all outputs. It's endorsed by the Energy Savings Trust, and the appliances make some of the most efficient oil-fired boilers on the market. Worcester for the 6th year running has been awarded the best buys for their Greenstar gas boilers. They are one of the largest suppliers of gas, propane and oil fuel type boilers. Safety is a priority here at BHL; that's why our boilers are only supplied by the most reputable manufacturers.
A gas boiler can last up to 15 years and if your boiler is reaching that age, it's probably time to get a new one. Installing a boiler can be a challenge if you've never done it before, though with enough persistence it can be achieved. Before anything, check all parts are there, read through the instructions thoroughly, and figure out where everything goes. You'll need to research the pipe routes in your home ensuring the boiler gets installed correctly. The most time consuming part is fitting the boiler to the wall, take care and don't forget to make sure all electrics are turned off. If you want central heating in your home you will need to get the relevant radiators in your home. A new radiator will require a small amount of air ventilation once everything is successfully installed. As you may have noticed, installing a boiler is not exceptionally difficult, but if it's not something your open to trying then give the team here at BHL a call. Not only can BHL supply gas boilers. BHL recommend you have someone qualified in the profession, install your boiler – if you were to install your own boiler its warranty would then be void. BHL's friendly team can be reached at any time during opening hours to discuss quotes or to request further information, so why not give us a call?
What's that output?
A boilers KW output is the rating of which the power is being used. With boilers ranging from a 14KW output to a 70KW output BHL can guarantee you'll find the right boiler for you and your home. Gas regular boilers can be purchased in all outputs, to suit smaller and larger surface areas. The source of heat for a boiler is combustion of any several fuels, such as wood, coal, oil or natural gas. Most boilers produce steam to be used at saturation temperature; that is, saturated steam. An added bonus is that hot water is delivered at mains pressure, allowing you to get a powerful shower without the need for a separate pump. Choosing the right size boiler for your home can be extremely perplexed, and whilst it is advisable you contact a gas safe plumber to give you advice. It is also useful to have an idea of what you will need to budget. The output is the amount of heat used; the output/input ratio gives the efficiency of the boiler. A boilers output should be paired with the heat load of the house. Not only can we guarantee a specific output, we can also supply boilers of difference width, length and height, along with the flow rate and warranty. Our easy to use website allows you to search for a boiler using what matters to you. Search by warranty, height, and output. BHL are here to help you find the boiler that suits your home.
Which Boiler?
Combination boilers are one of the most popularly purchased gas boilers. A combination boiler is both a high efficiency water heater and a central heating boiler in a single compact unit. Combi boilers heat water directly from the mains when you turn on a tap, so you won't need a hot water storage cylinder or a cold water storage tank in the roof space. They are also very cost efficient and energy efficient as water is heating instantly rather than being heated and then stored in a cylinder. BHL love finding benefits to each and every product we provide, therefore another benefit of the combination boiler is that hot water is delivered at mains pressure, which means that you could get a powerful shower without the need for a separate pump. Combination boilers tend to be more appropriate for smaller properties and are ideal where there is little or no loft space. Amongst all these advantages there is also no need for a hot water space, increasing your living space.
System boilers require a cylinder for storing hot water, however the major heating and hot water system components are built in the boiler itself, making it a lot quicker and easier to install. In addition, there is no need for a tank in the loft space or where the space is earmarked for a conversion. These boilers are also compatible with solar water heating systems, which deliver environmental benefits as well as low energy bills. System boilers are ideal for homes with more than one bathroom that need a constant supply of hot water to any number of taps at the same time.

text: Today the U.S. Supreme Court announced that it denied review of Stiefel Laboratories, Inc.'s petition for a writ of certiorari in the federal securities fraud case in which Podhurst Orseck attorneys won a $1.8 million judgment for a salesman who had spent his career with the company and invested his retirement savings in the company's employee stock bonus plan. A jury found that Steifel executives defrauded him when they failed to disclose, at the time the company bought back his stock, that they were planning to sell the company such that his stock would quadruple in value. The Supreme Court's ruling leaves in place an 11th Circuit opinion that establishes that corporations have a duty to update investors with material information if failing to do so would be misleading.
