Internal and External Factors - Influence on Business
October 8, 2012
Donna Clayburn
Internal and External Factors of Apple, Inc.
Innovation at Apple Inc. is apparent in every department and every product they release. Kaipa states Steve Job was a brilliant leader, and magical speaker, he could entrance, enthrall, and simply bring others around to his way of thinking. Many people buy Apple products because of what Kaipa refers to as the reality distortion field; Jobs could reframe a problem in a way that convinces others to buy into his way of thinking and doing. The distortion field Kaipa refers to was simply a way of acting on the problem with a new mental model; frame the problem differently and gain new insights and new approaches that enable a new solution. The solution itself may not be innovative; however, the reframing of the problem allowed employees to see old problems with a new set of eyes and that was the groundbreaking key to the Jobs approach to internal innovation (Kaipa, 2012).
The internal innovation bleeds over into the external consumer aspect of Apple products. Looking at iPhone for example, in 2005 Jobs collaborated with Motorola on the Moto Rokr phone with a convergence of iPod, phone, camera, and touch screen into a tablet. Job moved the focus of this type of technology over to the iPhone in 2007, after Apple announces their intention to enter the market with iPhone Kaipa quotes Steve Balmer of Microsoft as saying:
"500 dollars? Fully subsidized? With a plan? I said that is the most expensive phone in the world. And it doesn't appeal to business customers because it doesn't have a keyboard. This makes it not a very good email machine… Let's take phones first. Right now, we're selling millions and millions and millions of phones a year. Apple is selling zero phones a year. In six months, they'll have the most expensive phone by...

If you haven't heard by now, the keto diet is quickly gaining popularity in the world of health and nutrition. A strict low-carb, high-fat diet, this type of nutritional plan forces the body into a state known as ketosis. When in this state, the body uses fat (converted into ketones) for its primary source of energy. As you can imagine, maintaining such a rigid diet requires individuals to carefully monitor their meals and keep a close eye on how their bodies are responding.
Ketone test strips are the easiest way to do so at a low cost. To get your results from this colorimetric urinalysis test, you simply match the color of your test strip to a color on the provided chart to determine your ketone levels. In less than a minute, you have your answer. With this information, users can get an accurate idea of how their body is reacting to the keto diet, and if they are in or approaching a healthy ketogenic state.
If you're ready to get started, check out our shopping guide and recommendations to find the right ketone test strips for you.
Analysis type
Most keto urine test strips on the market will only measure and report on the body's overall keto levels and nothing more. However, there are some test strips that will provide insight into a bit more, like a user's pH levels, glucose levels, and other health indicators. If you're looking to monitor something other than keto levels, keep in mind that these advanced urine test strips should not be confused with keto systems, which use blood-testing strips for analysis.
Testing Schedule
For optimum results, no matter what brand you decide on, you'll want to consider setting a testing schedule. To achieve the best results, managing yourself, especially when it comes to dieting, requires consistency. In order for you to make the most out of your keto test strips, try testing yourself at the same time every day, week, or month. This makes tracking your progress much more organized and easier to understand.
Ketone test strips come in packs ranging from 50 to 200 test strips, and some brands even offer multipacks. So, if you're going to be keeping an extra close eye on your ketone levels, be sure to stock up. Test strips expire within three to six months after being opened, so plan your testing schedule accordingly.
The dirty keto diet is very much like the standard keto diet, except that it doesn't matter where dieters get their macronutrients from. So, instead of eating good fats, such as nuts or avocados, you grab a bunless burger and a Diet Coke.
Though many of the test strips will offer the same functionality, some products will feature additional add-ons to make testing safer, more accurate, and more convenient.
Some ketone test strips are packaged with disposable cups. These cups can make collecting a urine sample much easier. Other brands may package their strips in convenient vials that are also meant to make collecting samples cleaner and safer.
Testing Kits
Advanced keto testing kits offer a more robust way of testing ketones. The significant difference is that they typically provide ketone analysis through the use of a small blood sample. They'll usually come complete with a digital monitoring device, a lancing device, and blood strips.
Inexpensive: You'll find that the majority of the ketone test strip products are in the $5 to $10 range, especially if you're looking for an accessory-free pack of 50. If you're new to the keto diet or keto testing, start with these until you decide if you would like to test more frequently.
Mid-range: Quantity plays a major role in pricing, and products in the $10 to $15 price range will typically offer you 100 to 200 test strips. They may also be packaged with a more detailed chart to monitor your levels and extra sampling accessories, such as disposable cups.
Expensive: For $15 and up, you'll get both quantity and quality. Packs of 150 to 200 test strips as well as multipacks can be found in this price range. Also, test strips in this range will often give a more detailed analysis (such as what your pH levels are).
The ideal carb intake varies from person to person and will depend heavily on your own biology and preference. To find a balance, experiment with different keto diets, test yourself regularly, and pay attention to how you feel.
Cyclical keto diets require high fats and low carbs (less than 50 grams a day) for five to six days a week. On the seventh day, you'll increase your carb intake to about 150 grams. Carb cycling helps dieters avoid the negative effects of long-term carb restriction, such as fatigue and thyroid issues.
Again, the main thing to remember about the keto diet is that you must maintain a healthy level of ketosis within your body. During ketosis, your body converts fat into its main energy source. The concept is relatively simple, but execution and consistency can be tricky. Here are a few tips to effectively keep your body in ketosis:
Test ketones and adjust. Properly maintaining ketosis varies from individual to individual. The best way to zero in on what regimen works for you is to regularly test your ketone levels to make sure you're reaching your goals. Make adjustments in your diet until your body is safely reacting the way you need it to.
Exercise. Studies show that exercise can help get your body into ketosis. This is because, when it's time for your body to replenish itself after working out, if carb intake is low, your body will increase its production of ketones to feed the muscles.
There are many different ketone test strip brands on the market, so, naturally, we couldn't highlight them all. However, there are a couple of products that are still worth mentioning, even though they didn't make the final cut. The KeyHealth KēStrips are another low cost and effective product that we considered. This upgraded version is FDA-registered and comes in a dual pack of 100 ketone test strips along with 100 more urine sample cups for clean and easy testing. The TRUEplus® Ketone Test Strips come in packs of 50 or 100 and offer a straightforward six-level color chart to read your results. The easy-to-use test strips come in a flip-top vial and can deliver a quick and accurate reading with or without the use of a cup.
Q. Is there a way to extend the shelf life of any unused keto test strips?
A. All ketone test strips will have an expiration date, and they will lose effectiveness over time. If you want to extend their shelf life, try keeping them refrigerated.
Q. Do I need to dip the strip into a cup for it to work properly?
A. Users of ketone test strips can either urinate into a cup and then dip their strips into the cup, or they can pee directly onto the ketone strip. Both methods will work.
Q. Is there an ideal time of day to test?
A. While you certainly can test anytime, some studies reveal that the ideal time of day is in the early morning or in the evening after dinner.

For a homestand which started about as rough as it could be, it couldn't be coming to any better of an end for the Amarillo Sod Poodles.
And Saturday night, they set a new standard for prolific play, at least in terms of the win column.
The Sod Poodles set a franchise record most consecutive wins, as they won their fourth straight game at Hodgetown, rallying from a six-run deficit and closing the game with seven unanswered runs to beat the Midland RockHounds 7-6. They've been entertaining as well, as each win has come down to the final at-bat.
Amarillo (23-24) has guaranteed winning the series with Midland (22-26) as well as the homestand, and the Sod Poodles can pull to .500 for the season for the first time in 38 games if they beat the RockHounds today at 1:05 p.m. to close the homestand at Hodgetown.
"Winning is always fun and inspirational in an ideal world," Sod Poodles manager Phillip Wellman said. "But my goal is still to come back tomorrow and I'm going to come out here and I'm to try to teach these kids to play the game the right way. Any time you come back from a 6-0 deficit that speask to the character of these guys."
Lessons do seem to be taking hold for the Sod Poodles, even if they're in the intangibles. After losing two games to the Corpus Christi Hooks to start the homestand, the Sod Poodles have escaped late-inning jams on the mound and come up with big hits in their last at-bat or close to it to grab the victory.
A fourth straight victory didn't look terribly likely after four innings. Amarillo's T.J. Weir and Midland's Brian Howard engaged in a scoreless duel on the mound, and the Sod Poodles didn't pick up a hit for the first five innings.
But the RockHounds broke through with six runs in the fifth off Weir, as they sent 11 men to the plate. Mikey White's two-run single and Jonah Heim's two-runs single were the big blows in the inning.
In the top of the sixth, though, the Sod Poodles finally got to Howard with the to of their lineup by scoring four runs on four consecutive pitches. Rodrigo Orozco and Ivan Castillo doubled to bring hoem a run, and Edward Olivares singled home Castillo to cut it to 6-2.
One pitch later Owen Miller blasted a two-run home run to left-center to make it 6-4 and Howard's dominance was history.
"Hitting is contagious," Wellman said. "We faced one of the best pitchers in the league and we've seen him four times now and we've battled him. He had a very good changeup but once we got that first hit off him it was bang, bang, bang."
Howard was pulled after walking Luis Torrens and Webster Rivas hit a sacrifice fly to cut it to 6-5.
The Poodles tied it in the sixth when a fielder's cnoice grounder by Luis Torrens scored Olivares. Meanwhile, relievers Dauris Valdez and Michel Valdez kept the Sod Poodles in the game but throwing 3 2/3 scoreless innings.
Baez gave up a single to Dairon Blanco and balked him to second to start the second, but struck out the next three batters on three pitches each.
"He balked but he didn't let it bother him," Wellman said of Baez. "I like to judge guys on how thye do when things don't always go their way."
The Sod Poodles pulled things out with a two-out rally in the bottom of the eighth. Buddy Reed singled to left and took second when Chase Calabuig threw the ball wildly back to the infield.
"I knew I wasn't going for a double because it was just a hard ground ball past the third baseman," said the speedy Reed. "(Calabuig) may have thought I was going to second and he overthrew the base so I took the bag."
Two pitches later, Orozco lined a single off reliever Cody Stull to bring home Reed with the go-ahead run and give the Sod Poodles their first lead of the evening.
Kyle Lloyd came on in the ninth to close the door for the Poodles, but began the inning inauspiciously by giginc up a single to Blanco. However, LLoyd got Greg Deichmann to ground out to third and struck out Collin Theroux and Kevin Merrell to end the game.
TODAY'S STARTERS: The Sod Poodles will send right-hander Lake Bachar (0-2, 4.35 ERA) to the hill against Midland right-hander Kyle Friedrichs (0-1, 4.50) for today's game.

SINGAPORE - A firm that provides rental income support for a light industrial building owned by Viva Industrial Trust has gone into liquidation.
The plight of facilities manager Jackson International means Viva loses a guarantee that would have protected it from any drop in rental income at the Jackson Square complex until November 2019.
The guarantee goes back to when Viva bought Jackson Square from Jackson International in November 2014.
Under the sale agreement, Jackson International said it would top up Viva's income whenever the rent from Jackson Square fell below the level it was at when the deal was closed.
Last year, Jackson International topped up $1.56 million to Viva. In 2015, it topped up $2.65 million, so the loss of that rental guarantee creates risks.
However, Viva said that it does not expect the issue to have a material impact on its financials or distributions for the year ended Dec 31, 2017.
It pointed to a bank guarantee of about $3.87 million that Jackson had set aside for it in 2014. This functions like an escrow account which allows Viva to tap on this amount.
But Viva's guidance is based on the assumptions that Jackson Square's operating expenses do not increase significantly above $2 million a year, and that no tenants other than units of Jackson International default on their leases.
Jackson International earned an upkeep fee of $2 million a year in return for bearing all property operating expenses for Jackson Square.
Three Jackson International subsidiaries occupy 24 per cent of the net lettable area of Jackson Square.
Given that Jackson International has filed for liquidation, there is a chance that its subsidiaries would be affected too, said RHB analyst Vijay Natarajan.
Viva also acknowledged on Sunday that the bank guarantee would not be sufficient to cover the rental support amount after this year if it is unable to renew existing leases and secure sufficient new leases at comparable rental rates.
This is not the first negative news for Viva this year. Earlier , it warned that American oil services company McDermott Asia Pacific would not renew its lease at Jackson Square when it expired in April.
Other oil services heavyweights like Technip, Subsea 7 and Saipem have also relocated their Southeast Asia headquarters from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur to cut costs.
McDermott had accounted for 31 per cent of Jackson Square's gross floor area and 3.7 per cent of Viva's monthly rental income. Foxconn has since taken up 26 per cent of the vacated space, although the rest remains empty.
OCBC analyst Deborah Ong has put her "buy" rating on Viva under review, pending further details.
She wrote: "We projected $2.4 million and $0.9 million in rental support for Jackson Square in 2018 and 2019. We expect the impact on VIT to be minimal barring drastic changes in our occupancy assumptions but would like to revisit our assumptions."
Nevertheless, Mr Natarajan said the troubles at Jackson Square are not representative of the rest of the industrial sector: "There has been some pressure on industrial rents since 2015, but things have been better since this year. Last year was a bad year for industrial businesses, but this year we are seeing a slight pick up."
Viva units closed one cent or 1.23 per cent down to 80.5 cents on Monday.

As more people move and retire abroad there is an increasing demand from expats wanting to transfer their UK pensions overseas, it is claimed.
According to the de Vere Group, one of the leading players in the Qualifying Registered Offshore Retirement Schemes sector, moving pensions abroad gives investors greater flexibility and tax efficiency.
In the current market the deVere Group has transferred £98 million, nearly a quarter of all UK transfers, to offshore pension funds. 'The expatriate market has always been our area of expertise. As more people move and retire abroad, there is an increasing need to service these individuals and in some cases help them transfer their UK pensions offshore,' explained chief executive officer Nigel Green.
QROPS, personal pensions established outside of the UK which were recognised by HMRC in 2006, have become increasingly popular in recent years as more investors retire abroad and wish to benefit from greater investment flexibility and tax efficiency. Since QROPS were first introduced, it is reported that approximately £432 million has moved from onshore UK pensions to offshore pension schemes.
But there is concern about unregulated advice in the sector. Pension providers on Guernsey have raised concerns that unregulated advisors are using the channel island to mis-sell QROPS to investors and by breaching current regulations leave them with tax charges on pensions transfers of up to 55% on their total fund.
The want tighter regulation. Onward transfers from Guernsey to other QROPS providers are currently limited to a tax free cash drawdown of 25% of the existing fund. One proposal is to increase this limit to 30%. There is also a proposal to limit one off lump sum payments to 30,000. These are only proposals but they have strong backing and if supported at government level will in all likelihood become law,' said Guernsey QROPS Committee chairman Roger Berry.
'Unregulated advice on pension transfers is occurring in the QROPS market. From a UK centric perspective, where pension transfer advice is well regulated, that will be an uncomfortable fact and a natural reaction is of disappointment and wonder how this is allowed,' he added.
Berry warns investors to be wary of schemes that offer to transfer small sums and schemes that offer to sanction transfers from defined benefit schemes. 'Frankly, where there is little room for excuse is the transfer of final salary or defined benefits schemes. Unless the transfer is trivial in size, if your prospective new QROPS trustee is happy to accept such a transfer without independent assessments or an equivalent report being provided to you, alarm bells should be ringing,' explained Berry.
Meanwhile, fears that New Zealand could lose its QROPS status over concerns with its Kiwisavers scheme, regarding tax breaks applicable to employer contributions, have been allayed. The issue is reported to have been resolved between HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and New Zealand's government actuary, and the Kiwisavers scheme continues to appear on HMRC's list of approved QROPS.

Smoky Pulled Pork on Sourdough ToastsTemps des Fêtes 2010
Smoky Pulled Pork on Sourdough ToastsTemps des Fêtes 2010
BY: Tonia Wilson-Vuksanovic
Tasty and satisfying, these hearty hors d'oeuvre bring a taste of summer barbecue to the table. Top with the crunchy Red Cabbage Slaw for the perfect condiment. For a sandwich option, slice a baguette lengthwise through the middle, stuff with pork mixture and slaw; with top of baguette back on slice crosswise into individual portions.
3 tbsp (45 mL) vegetable oil
4 lb (2 kg) boneless, whole pork shoulder, cut into 4 equal-size pieces Salt to taste
4 cups (1 L) onion, coarsely chopped
3 tbsp (45 mL) garlic, coarsely chopped
21/2 cups (625 mL) your favourite smoky-flavoured barbecue sauce
2 tsp (10 mL) cider or white vinegar
1/4 tsp (1 mL) freshly ground black pepper
2 cups (500 mL) Red Cabbage Slaw (recipe follows)
1 Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
2 In a large ovenproof pot, heat oil over medium-high. Season pork well with salt and sear in oil until well browned on all sides, about 20 minutes depending on surface area of pot. Be sure to use a pot large enough to prevent the pork from being overcrowded.
3 Remove browned meat from the pot and set aside. Drain off excess fat and return pork, onions, garlic and 1 cup (250 mL) of the barbecue sauce to the pot. Add enough water to come 2 inches (5 cm) up side of pot.
4 Cover and bring to the boil, place covered pot in preheated oven, and bake for 2 hours, rotating the pieces of pork halfway through.
5 Remove meat from pot along with 2 cups (500 mL) cooking liquid and place them both in refrigerator to cool slightly. Discard pot ingredients and reserve pot.
6 Shred the meat from the cooled pork pieces into the reserved pot, shred with fingers or a fork and discard any large fatty pieces.
7 Once all the meat is in the pot add the rest of the barbecue sauce, 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) of the reserved cooking liquid, vinegar and black pepper. Warm through while stirring. Season to taste and add more cooking liquid if desired.
8 Once cooled, divide pulled pork mixture into 6 equal quantities and place in freezer bags, freeze until ready to use.
9 To serve: thaw freezer bag of pork and heat mixture through in a small pot; reseason if necessary. Place the pulled pork on lightly toasted baguette slices and top with Red Cabbage Slaw (recipe follows). Serve warm. Also, try serving on miniature burger buns or croissants.

I've been keen on the idea of a Digg style site that can be customised for a classroom since last year but the demise of CrispyNews put paid to that avenue. But I'm been using another site, CoRank, to build something similar for this year and it looks promising. I haven't seen much in the edublogosphere about this site so I thought I'd let you know.
You basically set up an account (valid email only required) and then you can choose from a few templates to set up your site. You can then invite others to join the site so that they can help submit news stories and websites that can then be commented upon and voted up or down Digg style. This way you set up your small voting community and watch as topical stories surface and climb or fall according to the preferences of the participants. There are tabs where you can see all stories submitted, they can sorted by tag, rank, and every user can see their activity history as well.
Why might this be useful in the classroom?
I figure it can be useful in a number of ways. Firstly, there is a lot to be learnt in terms of the students sensibly starting and managing a web account and how to be protective of their identity via their profile and the creation of a fun avatar. It can be useful in terms of teaching younger kids how to start contributing to the web without having to author original material but instead getting them to start making insightful comments. It gets them thinking about the wider world and making judgement calls about suitable material for the site both by voting up or down and then via posted contributions.
You can get a bit of an idea by looking at the site I created. I've gone with the SpinTheGlobe theme thinking that we might restart our connection to Doug Noon's class with this as one distributed point where we can find topics of interest together for 11/12 year olds. Already, students have been really keen and have added some articles already, and started the commenting. The voting feature is a hit - please bear in mind that this is barely a week old but it is a tool that is worth a good look in terms of tapping into your students' interests and assisting with information literacy skills and general internet awareness. Check it out.

2-Time NBC Champions Teammates to be Opponents in College
Former Lady Leopards Basketball player Brianna Libertore made the decision about a month ago to play basketball at Walsh University. Libertore had originally planned to walk-on at Cleveland State, but felt more comfortable in becoming a Cavalier.
Now that she made the change, she will be competing Great Lakes Intercollegiate Conference that includes teams like Ashland, Malone, and yes…Tiffin. The Tiffin Dragons jersey is the uniform that fellow Lady Leopards player Mackenzie Storlie will be wearing during the 2012-13 season.
The two were the focal point of two Lady Leopards back-to-back Outright NBC Girls Basketball Titles the past two seasons. Now they will find themselves on opposite sides of the ball.
"It's going to be really weird," Storlie said of competing against her former teammate.
Familiarity will not be vacant for Libertore though, as she will also team up with another former Lady Leopard at Walsh. Alyssa Jones, who was instrumental in the Lady Leopards 20-3 NBC Title season in 2011-12, will be putting her Cavalier uniform on for the second year.
Although Storlie will not have any Louisville graduates accompanying her, she will find herself comfortable in the green and yellow. The Dragons just recently had another Lady Leopard, Mandy Jaeb, graduate from the point guard position. Jaeb finished her career with the second most points, most free throws, and highest free throw percentage in Tiffin girls basketball history. Storlie should fill her shoes just fine.
Bri and Mac will lace it up against each other for the first time on January 19 when Tiffin travels to Walsh University. The rematch will take place in Tiffin on February 16. No matter what the outcome is we will know one thing, these Louisville graduates will represent the Lady Leopards tradition at the next level.

Imagine a restaurant in which the waiter, chef, and sous chefs did not have consistent communication with one another and had to rewrite tickets into different formats to send them to one another. Tickets would arrive in piles, started by the chef perhaps out of sequence, and then pile left in a central location for the next person to look at. Now imagine if someone makes a mistake and does not let the next person in line know that his part of the meal will be delayed. What you get is chaos. It would not make a lot of sense to organize a business that way. Yet, that is just what a many Natural Resources businesses do without realizing it.
Natural Resources businesses more often than not organize data (which should be strictly controlled to ensure it is accurate) in this way. They do so by creating silos between functions such as geology, engineering, scheduling and execution. Information does not flow well because it is in different formats and is not secure, nor timely, often shared via windows folders. The data is also not trackable because it is not versioned or attached to sources and changes as it is worked with/on. Using the wrong version of data? Better start your work again … or ignore the fact that the excavator just loaded trucks headed to the dump with high grade ore.
Data chaos also creates difficulties in reporting compliance. Can anyone really trust data that is not managed?
Digital continuity is a better approach. It allows data to propagate in a way that is managed, with role-based access to it. Data is also fully trackable. This means that no one is operating in the dark and that they are assured they are using the right data and have access to it when it is needed. Its integrity is further ensured because file format transpositions are not necessary. The result is faster and more accurate process execution. Processes become more stable and more agile since the latest information is always available. This leads to more accurate geology, which in turn supports better engineering plans and schedules.
Platforms that enable digital continuity ensure that anyone, even if they have just joined an organization will be access the right data to their jobs. It also turns individual processes into interconnected workflows with built-in approvals and notifications. This allows each step to be executed consistently and in a timely fashion. Users are informed when new data is available and on how to action it; and, this continues from one process and person to the next. If you were wondering if this enables best practices? Yes, it does.
Lines of sight can be created when you have digital continuity. Visibility into process execution can be established, allowing people to see what is on track, what is behind, and what is in danger of falling behind. The benefit, of course, is that it is much easier to keep things on track.
Digital continuity can be applied across all functions: exploration, feasibility, plant construction/site development, operations, etc. Everything is based on one single source of truth that is shared.
More data can be leveraged with digital continuity. It is much easier to innovate when you can access all of your data, historical and current, and use it in a controlled version way to explore your ideas. Imagine being able to use the CAD files used to design your plant operations by incorporating them into the creation of a virtual twin of your operation. It is possible with platforms that support this.

Siedle system design extends beyond product design and defines the entire company. This consistent approach has won Siedle more than 70 prestigious design awards and made it one of the most important German design brands.
Siedle products present numerous different versions based on the modular principle. The principle of the open system also has an impact on the presentations with which the company showcases itself and its products.
Reduced, modular and authoritative – with the aid of Siedle's design principles, the strengths of the brand can also be translated into PowerPoint presentations: CD-compliant and state-of-the-art.
Siedle dispenses with the need for superfluous items in design and focuses on the essentials instead. The design is well-organized and comprehensible, the effect clear and elegant.
The design is characterized by a simple systematic approach. A modular structure made up of basic shapes offers scope for a varied and exciting design – ordered, precise and aesthetically pleasing.
Siedle stands for high-quality design and gives things the space they need. Siedle design is generously proportioned. Siedle does not like things to be full, but prefers them empty – in keeping with the proverb: Less is more.
Presentations are available on various topics and may provide a basis for further elaborations:
- Access
- Architects
- Barrier-free
- Construction work in existing buildings
- Design lines
- Highlights
- New items
- Onboard integration
- Reference projects
A package of stylesheets for PowerPoint presentations is available for download in the stylesheets directory. Also in this directory you will find a tutorial and a sample presentation.
Heading to format
Design grid
The design grid in the content area is divided horizontally into 12 units and vertically into 8 units. This allows flexible handling of column widths and image formats.
Multiple units can be combined to text columns of different widths. They are usually 4 units wide. A width of 6 or 8 units is also possible.
The image sizes are also based on the units. The smallest image size is 3 units in width and height.
The structure of the PowerPoint presentations is divided into four sections:
1 Logo area
Only the Siedle logo is displayed here.
2 Headline area
Here is the main heading (headline) and if necessary a subheadline.
3 Content area
All content items are located within the text area of the presentation: Images, drawings, diagrams, tables, etc. and short explanatory texts.
4 Footer area
Here you will find information on the signature of the presentation, the page number and, if applicable, references.
1 Headline
- Main heading of the slide, always I one line
- Frutiger LT Com Bold 32 pt, line spacing 36 pt (Exactly)
2 Subheadline
- A single-line subline to the headline is possible
- Frutiger LT Com Light 32 pt, line spacing 36 pt (exact))
3 Subheadings
- Use is optional
- Frutiger LT Com Light 25 pt, line spacing 30 pt (exact)
4 Copy text
- Can be set with or without bullet points (•)
- Space between individual sections is half a line feed
- • Frutiger LT Com Light 25 pt, line spacing 30 pt (exact)
5 image texts
- Captions for photographs and drawings
- Frutiger LT Com Light 25 or 16 pt, line spacing 30 or 18 pt (exact)
6 Signature
- Title of presentation, author's name, page number, creation date
- Frutiger LT Com Light 9 pt
7 Reference to sources
- Frutiger LT Com Light 9 pt
Siedle diagrams always have a white background. They are clear and reduced to reflect the essential statement. Diagram labels are black. Columns, bars, rings etc. can – depending on the content – be implemented in grey and/or blue tones. Ring diagrams are used instead of circle diagrams or pie charts. Decisive contents of a slide are set off in blue.
One or more images can be inserted into content as an eye-catcher. Images should preferably be placed side by side and separated by a white bar (distance between two units). They are suspended downwards from the "clothes line".
The images should be in JPEG format with a resolution of 192 dpi. A single image on a content slide should not be less than 6 units wide and 4 units high (414 x 222 pt). Do not use more than 6 images on any one slide.
Pure text slides can be set to 1, 2 or 3 columns. 1-column texts have a width of 8 units (846 pt).
As a general principle, less text is better than too much. This is either represented by a bullet point (•) or visually structured by paragraphs.
Texts and images are frequently combined on one slide. Within a presentation all pictures are on the left and all texts on the right or vice versa!
Each PowerPoint presentation ends with a concluding slide.

What can anyone say about the new political dilemma developing in Turkey without wondering if the fat lad over the pond hasn't actually lost it?
|Turkish delight ... Keep Photo by Fatih Yürür on Unsplash, with many thanks to both.
While wondering about the humanity if not the sanity of the world's most powerful clown, er man, we might well dwell on the much-aired political slogan of 'our' special relationship.
Inhuman decision
To let, if not exactly encourage, a neighbour of ours to virtually sacrifice another is one horror.
But to hear the 'leader' declare that he couldn't care less about the huge loss of life, just as long as his own voters weren't put at risk, shows something utterly negative in western politics that's rather new to most of us.
Then to read that the world's most powerful, well, goat announced the inhuman decision via, of all things, social media, has to make people who care wonder about our brave new world.
The ugly news transported me back to my first view of that magical land.
I was an inquisitive young hitch-hiker learning about, discovering the world.
Quite an eye-opener
After India and Pakistan, Afghanistan was certainly quite an eye-opener, then followed mysterious Iran, and over the border into and across Turkey.
Fellow travellers mostly from Australia warned me about their old first world war adversary. Be very, very careful.
|There were bands, people with placards, uniforms a plenty, and certainly no shortage of firearms carried by soldiers strutting to the very unusual almost three-four beat of Turkish marching music. The sound, even so, did have a vaguely Western accent, and then a few banners in approximate English appeared.
Beware pickpockets and men with daggers seemed to be the more popular warnings. And definitely to avoid big state demonstrations.
I was keen to try a genuine Turkish bath.
Bathe in the Turkish style
After checking in at an economic hostel, I crossed Istanbul with a friend to bathe in the Turkish style, very wary not to have anything valuable in the clothes to be removed for the hot plunge.
It was wonderful, and when the pleasure ended, I went to pay … and found I'd been too careful with security. I hadn't brought any money of any denomination.
Instead of being slashed or taken back into the steam for unwelcome abuse, the cashier said in broken English, 'Oh, bring it in when you can.'
Should I leave my passport as surety, 'Not necessary,' he said.
Strolling wide-eyed through the main part of Istanbul, I found myself engulfed in a vast crowd.
There were bands, people with placards, uniforms a plenty, and certainly no shortage of firearms carried by soldiers strutting to the very unusual almost three-four beat of Turkish marching music.
The sound, even so, did have a vaguely Western accent, and then a few banners in approximate English appeared.
The rally, the parade, the show, was a massive exhibition of support for the US, their friends, a great big public display of Turkish admiration for all things American – and doubtlessly mostly political.
Perhaps today's visitors will see rather different public declarations ...
Thanks very much for visiting the mostly Tuesday and Thursday blogs for my adventure book, Sailing to Purgatory, which are introduced each time on Facebook Facebook dot com/Sailingtopurgatory and on Blogger,
The blogs for Sailing to Purgatory are introduced on Facebook and Blogger.

Author(s): Shirley Hardy-Rix
Plenty of retirees take a holiday. When Brian Rix retired after 36 years as a policeman in Victoria rather than hitching up the caravan, he put his wife, journalist Shirley Hardy-Rix, on the back of his motorcycle and headed off for a ride. For the next 16 months Brian and Shirley rode more than 83,000 kilometres through 32 countries on five continents with side trips to Antarctica and Galapagos Islands. They rode from the bottom of South America to the very top of North America. They rode over the Andes, sometimes more than 5,000 metres high. They rode through deserts, the tropics and up to Alaska. They had a catastrophic breakdown in the heart of bear country and suffered altitude sickness. The motorcycle didn't make it to Antarctica but they did - taking them from Antarctica Circle to the Arctic Circle...and then a bit more. Beautifully illustrated in full colour throughout, Circle to Circle is an engaging account of the travels of an adventurous couple. It will entertain you in your armchair, or it may even inspire you to get up and go! Praise for Brian Shirley's previous book, Two for the Road Makes you want to get up and go.
Australian Women's Weekly Few books are as inspirational as that just written by Melbourne journalist Shirley Hardy-Rix and her policeman husband Brian Rix. Herald Sun For bikers and those with itchy feet. Sunday Age The inspiring story of two middle-aged adventurers. Manly Daily A great read for anyone with a yearning for the open road and exotic climes. West Australian A must-read for adventurous hearts. Canberra Times For anyone who's ever dreamed of escaping and experiencing the romance of the open road. Inverell Times This book might tip undecided travellers over the edge - no bad thing. Two Wheels
Shirley Hardy-Rix is a freelance journalist working as a magazine editor and publicist for film, TV and publishing. Shirley has published two collections of humorous police stories, a police history and, with Brian, the story of their 2003/2004 overland motorcycle trip from London to Australia, Two for the Road.

Dongguan Guangdong plastic bag factory to introduce the composition of plastic bags
What are the main ingredients of plastic bags?
Dongguan JMEI packaging plastic bag factory for you to introduce the composition of plastic
We usually use plastic is not a pure material, it is made up of many materials and mix.
The high polymer
(or synthetic resin) which is one of the main components of plastic, in addition, in order to improve the basic properties of plastics, but also add various auxiliary materials in the polymer, such as filler, plasticizer, stabilizer, lubricant, coloring agent and so on, it can become the good performance of plastics.
synthetic resin
Synthetic resin is one of the most important components of plastics, which is generally in the plastic content of 40% ~ 100%. Because the content is large, and the nature of the resin will often determine the nature of the plastic, so people often think of resin as a synonym for plastics. For example, polyvinyl chloride resin and polyvinyl chloride plastics, phenolic resin and phenolic plastics. In fact, resin and plastic are two different concepts. Resin is an unprocessed raw polymer, which is not only used in the manufacture of plastics, but also as the raw materials for coatings, adhesives and synthetic fibers. In addition to a very small part of the plastic containing 100% of the resin, the vast majority of plastic, in addition to the main components of the resin, but also need to add other substances.
Fillers, also known as fillers, can improve the strength and heat resistance of plastics, and reduce costs. For example, the addition of wood flour in the phenolic resin can greatly reduce the cost, make the phenolic plastics become one of the cheapest plastic, and can significantly improve the mechanical strength. Packing can be divided into two kinds of organic fillers and inorganic filler, the former such as wood powder, rags, paper and all kinds of fabric, the latter such as glass fiber, diatomite, asbestos, carbon black.
Plasticizer can increase the plasticity and flexibility of the plastic, reduce the brittleness, so that plastic molding. Plasticizer is generally can be mixed with resin, non-toxic, odorless, light, heat stable high boiling organic compounds, the most commonly used is the two phthalic acid esters. For example, the production of polyvinyl chloride plastic, if you add a lot of plasticizers will be able to get soft polyvinyl chloride plastic, if you do not add or less plasticizer (dosage <10%), then the hard PVC plastic.
In order to prevent the decomposition and destruction of the synthetic resin in the process of processing and using the light and heat, and prolong the service life, the stabilizer is added into the plastic. Commonly used are stearic acid, epoxy resin, etc..
Coloring agent can make plastic with a variety of bright, beautiful colors. Common organic and inorganic pigments.
The function of the lubricant is to prevent the plastic from sticking to the metal mould while forming the plastic surface. Commonly used lubricants are stearic acid and its calcium and magnesium salts, etc..
In addition to the above additives, plastic can also be added to the flame retardant, foaming agent, antistatic agent, in order to meet the different requirements of plastic products.

OPEC supplier played down any suggestion the kingdom was ready to cut production to accommodate increased supply by other members
Worries about supplies have caused the oil market's pricing dynamics to shift in recent days, Saudi Arabia's oil minister said.
"Did you see what happened over the past three days? The market shifted from contango to backwardation, because people are expecting a shortage," Ali al-Naimi told reporters on the sidelines of an Organisation of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC) meeting in Doha.
Backwardation means the cash or nearby delivery price of a commodity has risen above the price for forward delivery, which is usually higher. Contango means the forward prices are higher.
The oil minister played down any suggestion the kingdom was ready to cut production to accommodate increased supply by other members of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
"Please don't talk about cuts - there are no cuts," he said. "You know why I'm saying no cuts? It's because you say if, so don't talk about scenarios."
The Saudis kept production steady at around 9.7m barrels per day (bpd) in October and November. Earlier this month, OPEC members agreed to adhere to a 30m-bpd target. But without individual country quotas, which were discarded last year, that cannot be policed.
Several members have called on Saudi Arabia to cut back its production to bring OPEC's total supply down to the 30m- bpd threshold and defend a price of $100 a barrel for crude.
Both Iraq and Iran, the second- and third-largest OPEC producers after Saudi Arabia, oppose contributing to a collective reduction if one is needed next year. In that case, the Saudis might have to cut output closer to 9m-bpd by mid-2014. Naimi declined to comment on that possibility.
"I'm optimistic about the future, as I see that the stability of the oil markets will continue next year in terms of balance between supply, demand and current price levels," Naimi said.
Oil prices rose on Friday, fueled by spread trading and supply concerns. Brent crude gained $1.48 to settle at $111.77 a barrel. US oil settled up 28 cents at $99.32 a barrel.
