Pneumatic exercising device
A pneumatic exercising device uses a lever arm operated by the exerciser which works against a pneumatic cylinder. The pneumatic cylinder is connected to a much larger reservoir, the pressure in which can be adjusted as desired by means of an auxiliary pump. The reservoir is contained in one of the support members for the exercise device. A preferred embodiment is a bench press wherein the height of the lever arm above the bench is adjustable by setting the height of the lever arm fulcrum on a vertical support therefor, which vertical support is hollow and contains the air reservoir, the pneumatic cylinder being connected thereto by a length of flexible hose. The air reservoir is preferably sized so that the pressure remains essentially constant as does the force offered by the lever arm.
See U.S. Pat. No. 4,257,593 and the references cited therein for examples of pneumatic exercising devices. The present invention is to be distinguished from hydraulic devices wherein the exercising force is generated or controlled by the flow of a liquid through an orifice, as in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,451,271; 3,861,677 and 4,257,593. In the present invention the exercising force results from working against the pressure offered by a compressible gas.THIS INVENTION
The present invention is a pneumatic exercising device using a lever arm operated by the exerciser which works against a pneumatic cylinder.
An object of the present invention is to provide a pneumatic device that simulates the effect given by conventional weight lifting without the use of dead weights. Another object of this invention is to provide an integral pneumatic exercising device having an operating pneumatic cylinder with a piston and piston rod, which is connected to a reservoir quite substantially larger in capacity than the displacement of the pneumatic cylinder. Preferably the reservoir is an integral part of the supporting frame or stand of the exercising device. Another object is to provide a dynamic exercising device wherein the force offered to the exerciser remains essentially constant over the stroke of the exerciser's effort.THE DRAWINGS
Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following description made with reference to the drawings illustrating one preferred embodiment of the invention, viz., a bench press, in which drawings:
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of the bench press; and,
FIG. 2 is a perspective view.DESCRIPTION
In brief compass, the present invention is a pneumatic exercising device comprising:
A. A frame having an elongated support member and having one portion thereof hollow and providing an airtight reservoir integral with the frame;
B. A fulcrum supported by the elongated support member and adjustable in position along the length thereof;
C. A lever arm mounted to the fulcrum for rotation thereabout in a plane of the axis of the elongated support member;
D. A pneumatic cylinder, including a piston and piston rod, one end of which cylinder is pivotally mounted to the lever arm and acts thereagainst, and
E. A length of flexible conduit connecting the compression side of the pneumatic cylinder with the reservoir.
Preferably, the reservoir has a capacity which is at least 30 times that of the displacement of the pneumatic cylinder.
Also, the exercise device preferably has associated with it an air compressor that can supply compressed air to the air reservoir and regulate the pressure therein. The air reservoir can have a gauge to show the pressure therein, which can be calibrated to indicate the force in pounds or kilograms offered by the lever arm.
The pneumatic cylinder is preferably double acting such that by simply turning a valve the force offered by the device can be reversed, i.e. the lever arm handle can be either pulled upon or pushed upon depending on the position of the pneumatic cylinder valve.
By making the air reservoir many times larger than the displacement of the pneumatic cylinder, the pressure in the reservoir and thus in the pneumatic cylinder remains essentially constant over the stroke of the cylinder, and thus the force offered by the cylinder remains essentially constant. In another embodiment of the invention the size of the reservoir can be made smaller relative to the displacement of the pneumatic cylinder, such that as the stroke progresses the pressure in the reservoir will increase substantially as will be the force offered to the exerciser.
The drawings illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention--a bench press. The stand is generally indicated at 10 and has a vertical support 11 which carries the fulcrum 12 for the lever arm 13 which the exerciser operates by means of handle 14.
The stand 10 supports a conventional bench 15 which has legs 16.
The rear portion of member 11 has an elongated vertical guide 20 thereon perforated with holes 21 to receive locking pins 22, which pass through the rear portion of fulcrum 12, which rear portion has a channel matching with guide 20 and appropriate holes to receive pins 22. Pins 22 can be removed at will by the user and fulcrum 12 can be slid up and down member 11 to the desired height and the pins reinserted.
Lever arm 13 is pivoted on fulcrum 12 at 23 and ends with a cross-member 24, which is connected to the piston rod 25 of pneumatic cylinder 26. The other end of pneumatic cylinder 26 is mounted on the back side of fulcrum 12 at 27. Thus, as handle 14 is pushed upward by the exerciser, cross-member 24 descends, causing pneumatic cylinder 26 to compress. If desired, the point 24 connecting the lever arm to the cylinder can be made adjustable so that the stroke and displacement of the cylinder can be changed.
Optionally, the pneumatic cylinder can be on the same side of the fulcrum point as handle 14, e.g., see the lever arm/piston/fulcrum illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 3,128,094 (FIG. 3).
The compression side of pneumatic cylinder 26 is connected by a flexible length of tubing 30 to the air reservoir contained in member 11. The operation of pneumatic cylinder 26 can be used to build up and control the pressure in the air reservoir by operation of a suitable check valve 31 which can be placed as shown in line 30 or elsewhere as may be convenient. Also, valve 31 can be a multi-position valve and can be used to bleed the reservoir.
Preferably, however, an electric pump or air compressor 32 is connected to the air reservoir such that the pressure in the reservoir can be build up rapidly and be more readily controlled. A suitable gauge 33 is connected to the reservoir so that the user can determine the pressure contained therein and the force offered by the machine.
Preferably the air reservoir or accumulator contained within tubing 11 has a capacity of at least 750 cubic inches, e.g., 1000, and the pneumatic cylinder has a displacement of less than 25 cubic inches, e.g. 18. Alternatively, the air reservoir can be sized to effect an increase in force offered. For example, two reservoirs in series can be used of 200 and 800 cubic inch capacity and connected by a valve. For an 18 cubic inch displacement piston, if both are available, the percentage increase in force for a full stroke is only an insignificant 1.8%, but if only the 200 cubic inch reservoir is made available, then the force will increase 9% over the stroke. This is assuming constant temperature, which will not necessarily be true, as there will be some temperature rise and the increased effort may be 10% or slightly more.
Variations in the application of the principles of this invention will be appreciated by the skilled in the art. Pneumatic cylinder 26, instead of being connected to a lever 13, can instead be connected to a cable, preferably through a gearing arrangement, so as to offer resistance to a pulling force on the cable. Alternatively, hose 30 can have a quick release attachment as at 40 so that it may be attached to a like cylinder of a hand held exercising device, as for pectoral muscles.
The principles of this invention are particularly suited to application in a universal type exercising device--one having several different types of exercising stations on a single stand. Several air reservoirs can be accommodated in the frame of the device, each with its own guage and control valve, but supplied from a single compressor. One reservoir can serve a single exercise station, but if the effort required at two stations were about equal, e.g., the effort for a bench press station and an overhead press station, then one reservoir might serve two or more stations. A principal advantage of the universal setup of this invention as compared to a conventional one having dead weights is that its total weight is very substantially less as it has no dead weights. It can then therefore be more safely used in buildings where the floor loading may be critical or limiting.
1. A pneumatic exercise device comprising:
- a. a frame having a base supporting an upright elongate hollow support member which support member has therein an integral airtight accumulator of fixed capacity;
- b. an external bracket supported by said support member and being adjustable in position along the length thereof;
- c. a lever arm pivotally mounted to said bracket for rotation thereabout in a plane of the longitudinal axis of said support member, one end of said lever having means to be grasped by the user of said device;
- d. a pneumatic cylinder including a piston and piston rod, one end of which cylinder is pivotally mounted to said lever arm and acts thereagainst, the capacity of said pneumatic cylinder being less than 1/30th of the capacity of said airtight accumulator;
- e. a length of flexible conduit connecting the compression slide of said pneumatic cylinder with said accumulator; and
- f. a pump adapted to compress and admit ambient air to said accumulator and permitting the pressure in such accumulator to be controllably increased.
2. The device of claim 1 including a bleed valve for controllably exhausting air from said reservoir.
3. The device of claim 1 wherein said lever arm extends to either side of the pivot point thereof and ends in a handle on the end of the arm opposite the arm to which said pneumatic cylinder is attached.
4. The device of claim 3 wherein the other end of said pneumatic cylinder is pivotally attached to said support member and is adapted to compress upon the upward movements of said handle.
5. The device of claim 4 as a bench press and having an asssociated bench adapted to accommodate an operator in a supine position.
6. The device of claim 3 wherein the point of attachment of said pneumatic cylinder to said lever arm can be changed along the length thereof to vary the stroke of said pneumatic cylinder.

Kinky naughty girl wanted for cock worship bbw woman want married and wants chat rooms.this might be asking a lot, ... Who I am: and have roughly 41 to go. My niece asked me to run a 41K with her so that's my current training goal. I have a 41-yr-old son who lives in TX (a story for a drink or two) and, although on disability (if that makes you run i need my cock drained. away, so be it, but I'm not looking for someone to support me financially), still do some freelance writing and editing. I was a journalist in my past life. What I'm looking for: Someone who knows how to use an apostrophe properly ;-), has read a book since high chay travieso en Cave City school, and who enjoys spending time at home as much as going out. I'm good xxx on xxx or in small groups and rather less good with crowds. I'd rather watch movies at home than in the theater, but don't mind going out to plays and concerts. I don't care if you arrive with baggage -- at this stage of the game, we all have it -- but prefer that you've done the work to know how to cope with it. I don't tolerate abusers of any sort, whether emotional swinger girl Oroville California 95966, physical, or substance. I figure if I'm lucky, my life is half over, and thus too short to put up with that crap anymore (although I did in the past). I also don't really care what you look like. I'm not that shallow, for one, and I'd rather have someone with a personality, for another. Looks disappear; character doesn't. As noted above, I'm just ducky by myself and am not necessarily looking to get married. What I am looking for (at least for starters; anything is possible, I guess) is a solid relationship. Those of the FWB variety do not count and do not interest me. If any of this intrigues you, write and put your favorite author in the subject line. If you don't have one, I'll accept your favorite NFL team there instead. ;-) Anyone who's kind enough to respond gets a response back, even if it sounds like we wouldn't really be a match.

It's hard enough to enjoy day-to-day activities in the U.S. without constantly being reminded that your politicians and tax dollars support an illegal occupation of your friends and family on the other side of the world.
With the selection of his senior campaign adviser on Israel, David Friedman, as the next U.S. ambassador to Israel, President-Elect Donald Trump has signaled that the United States will not only continue its steadfast support of the Israeli government, but will in fact further accommodate the government of Benjamin Netanyahu by breaking with official U.S. opposition to illegal settlement construction in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) voted on Aug. 13 to adopt an investment screen that would prevent the church from investing in companies that profit from the Israeli occupation and other human rights violations around the world.
Three U.S. churches, the Episcopal Church, the United Church of Christ (UCC), and the Mennonite Church USA (MCUSA) will consider ending financial support for the Israeli occupation.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed an anti-Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) executive order on June 5. The order, which is also first in the nation, orders state agencies to divest from companies and organizations that are in support of the BDS movement.
For the fourth year in a row, anti-war activists protested outside the annual Boeing shareholders meeting in Chicago yesterday.
After two weeks of campaigning at the University of Chicago, UofC Divest was able to garner enough votes from the College Council to pass its resolution.
Solidarity has formed at Northwestern University between Unshackle NU and NU Divest as both are sponsoring resolutions calling for Northwestern University to remove its investments in the world's largest private security company, Group 4 Securicor (G4S).
Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at University of Minnesota, along with 30 other student organizations have launched a divestment campaign in support of the international call made by Palestine civil society to Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Israel until it complies with international law and Palestinian human rights.
Monday evening, the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) Undergraduate Student Government (USG) passed a divestment resolution unanimously.
Student at Columbia University and Barnard College formed Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CAUD), which demands the university remove its investments from companies that are profiting from Israel's ongoing occupation of Palestine.
A joint resolution passed on January 19 by the student government at the University of South Florida calls for the Board of Trustees of the USF Foundation to divest from six companies which are complicit in human rights violations against Palestinians.
Airbnb is now the target of an activist campaign that seeks to pressure the online accommodations rental giant to stop listing illegal Israeli settlement homes on its website.
Add another "W" in the win column for the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS)movement.
While the movement on U.S. campuses to divest from companies complicit in the Israeli occupation of Palestine grows, large American-Zionist organizations have taken a new messaging approach to attempt to stem the growing grassroots tide.
Left-wing journalist Doug Henwood recently refused to sell the translation rights to his new biography of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, entitled My Turn, to the Israeli publishing firm Probook Dyonon Publishing House.
A new poll found that about a third of Americans believe that the U.S. should place sanctions on Israel.
Pulitzer Prize winning author, Alice Walker, has used some of the recent publicity surrounding the recent revival of The Color Purple musical to raise awareness for Palestinians.
The National Women's Studies Association (NWSA) announced the results of its vote on a resolution in support of the Boycott, Divest, Sanctions movement (BDS) on November 27.
The increasing solidarity between Palestinians and Black Americans has become a major concern in pro-Israel circles, motivating attempts by pro-Israel student groups, lobbyists, and public administrators to undermine and fracture the bonds between the two groups.

Oh No in Odessa
KSCB News - November 26, 2011 7:29 am
The tradition rich Odessa Wranglers throttled #18 Seward County 74-55 Friday night in Odessa. The Wranglers dominated the boards 44-28. Seward trailed 33-25 at halftime. The Saints didn't cause Odessa much problem with their defense as the Wranglers had only 15 turnovers and the Saints registered only six steals. Deverell Biggs scored 13 and Irvin Hollinger scored 12 in the loss. The Saints are 6-1 and play New Mexico Junior College Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. in Odessa.

So… go out and have fun. We will get new snow at some point… Do the SNOW DANCE. A little, unsolicited, advice: However you have been doing the dance, change it up, the old style is not working so well.
PS to address questions, we groom every morning the road is open, even if there is no grooming report written for that day. We may groom later in the day if it is snowing hard in the a.m., although we have not been forced into that type of decision for a looonng time.

More than once thousand companies will display more than 11,000 samples of weapons and military equipment at the international military-technical forum Army-2016, opening in the Patriot theme park near Moscow on Tuesday, the Russian Defence Ministry said.
This year's forum will be held for a second time and last till September 11. The demonstration program will be held at three clusters. The latest models of planes and helicopters will be displayed at the Kubinka airdrome, while the ground and water clusters will be located in Alabino.
By tradition the first day of the exhibition is reserved for personal contacts between military specialists and representatives of the military-industrial complex. Participating in the forum, alongside Russian manufacturers, will be companies from Germany, India, Israel, Ireland, China, Malaysia, Thailand, France and Switzerland. As the Defence Ministry has said, a total of 107 countries had been invited to participate. Eighty six of them confirmed participation and 45 plan to send official delegations.
The Kalashnikov concern will for the first time display the newest light machinegun, the automated combat complex Soratnik and a number of other latest products. Russia's largest manufacturer of armored wheeled vehicles Military-Industrial Company will present a robotized vehicle Tigr with a 30-mm combat module. TsNIITochMash, the designer of the soldier's combat gear of the future, will display its model that in due time will replace the kit called Ratnik.
The naval part of the exposition will be larger than last year's. The design bureau Rubin will present real size samples of two projects: a simulator compartment for practicing fire-fighting operations and a mockup of the mobile autonomous remote-controlled underwater craft Yunona.
Both specialists and guests will be able to see mock-ups of submarines of project 955 Borei, and project 885 Yasen, and multi-purpose submarines of project 971 Bars.
Among the mockups of surface ships there will be the frigate Gepard-3.9, corvette 20382 Tigr, missile carrying ship 22800 of the Karakurt family, patrol ship 22160 and fiberglass minesweeper Aleksandrit.
The Kronshtadt Group company will present a concept of an integral virtual battlefield - a combination of various simulators integrated into a common virtual space. In part, it incorporates simulators for Mi-8, Mi-17, Mi-35 and Mi-26 helicopters, the comprehensive simulator Laguna for training the crews of surface ships, the modular simulator KAMAZ-5350 and the simulator for the BTR-82A armored personnel carrier.

Deep brain stimulation Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical treatment involving the implantation of a medical device called a brain pacemaker, which sends electrical impulses to specific parts of the brain. DBS in select brain regions has provided therapeutic benefits for otherwise-treatment-resistant movement and affective disorders such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia, and chronic pain.[1] Despite the long history of DBS,[2] its underlying principles and mechanisms are still not clear.[3][4] DBS directly changes brain activity in a controlled manner, its effects are reversible (unlike those of lesioning techniques), and it is one of only a few neurosurgical methods that allow blinded studies.[citation needed] Components and placement[edit] All three components are surgically implanted inside the body. Applications[edit] Parkinson's disease[edit] Chronic pain[edit] Major depression[edit] Tourette syndrome[edit] The procedure is invasive and expensive, and requires long-term expert care.
Anti-Inflammatory Diet Courtesy of Dr. Weil on Healthy Aging, Your Online Guide to the Anti-Inflammatory Diet. It is becoming increasingly clear that chronic inflammation is the root cause of many serious illnesses - including heart disease, many cancers, and Alzheimer's disease. The Anti-Inflammatory Diet is not a diet in the popular sense - it is not intended as a weight-loss program (although people can and do lose weight on it), nor is the Anti-Inflammatory Diet an eating plan to stay on for a limited period of time. You can also adapt your existing recipes according to these anti-inflammatory diet principles: General Diet Tips: Aim for variety.Include as much fresh food as possible.Minimize your consumption of processed foods and fast food.Eat an abundance of fruits and vegetables. Caloric Intake Carbohydrates Fat On a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet, 600 calories can come from fat - that is, about 67 grams. Protein On a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet, your daily intake of protein should be between 80 and 120 grams. Fiber

L'insonnia porta all'Alzheimer? L'insonnia può essere un segno premonitore dell'Alzheimer, malattia che porta alla demenza attraverso la morte delle cellule cerebrali. Uno studio pubblicato su Science Translational Medicine e condotto sui topi all'università di Washington ha messo in relazione le alterazioni del sonno con lo sviluppo dell'Alzheimer in età avanzata, suggerendo quindi nuovi rimedi per una terribile malattia, purtroppo in larga parte ancora sconosciuta. La demenza – compreso il morbo di Alzheimer - colpisce in Italia dall'1 al 5% della popolazione sopra i 65 anni di età, e raddoppia poi ogni quattro anni, giungendo a una percentuale di circa il 30% della popolazione di 80 anni. Si sa che nel cervello dei malati di Alzheimer si formano blocchi di proteine, note come placche, e sono un punto chiave di questa malattia. La ricerca sul tema si concentra attualmente sulle placche di proteine precursori dell'amiloide.
Brodmann area 25 Sagittal MRI slice with highlighting indicating location of the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex. Brodmann area 25 (BA25) is an area in the cerebral cortex of the brain and delineated based on its cytoarchitectonic characteristics. It is also called the subgenual area, area subgenualis or subgenual cingulate. History[edit] Brodmann described this area as it is labeled now in 1909. Function[edit] This region is extremely rich in serotonin transporters and is considered as a governor for a vast network involving areas like hypothalamus and brain stem, which influences changes in appetite and sleep; the amygdala and insula, which affect the mood and anxiety; the hippocampus, which plays an important role in memory formation; and some parts of the frontal cortex responsible for self-esteem.[3] This region is particularly implicated in the normal processing of sadness.[4][5] Involvement in depression[edit] In 2005 Helen S.

Enviromedica by Lau'ana Lei There are two main approaches to healing disease from a holistic perspective. These are, first, detoxification and second, immune system improvement. Magnetic Clay Baths are excellent for detoxification. They pull from the body metals and chemicals, which inhibit immune function. But detoxification is only half the solution. When the body is terribly compromised from metals and chemicals, it is difficult to clear out all toxins. THE CORRELATION OF THE pH FACTOR AND LEAKY GUT SYNDROME IN RELATION TO CHRONIC DISEASE The imbalance of pH, acidity and alkalinity in the body, is a key factor in chronic illness. Leaky gut syndrome is an advanced stage of toxicity characterized by lesions in the walls of the intestinal system, which allow toxins to be reabsorbed into the body instead of being eliminated through the normal procedure. A visual analogy helps here. PROGRAMS FOR HELPING THE LEAKY GUT, BALANCING THE pH AND IMPROVING CELLULAR NUTRITION NICKEL: Poppy seeds.
ALLO DOCTEURS 06/12/18 Le régime cétogène : un nouvel allié contre le cancer ? De plus en plus d'études vantent son efficacité pour limiter les crises d'épilepsie chez l'enfant, ou réduire son diabète par exemple. La diète cétogène pourrait aussi aider les patients atteints de cancer. Pour se développer, une tumeur cancéreuse a besoin de vaisseaux sanguins qui lui permettent d'attirer vers elle tous les éléments dont elle va se nourrir. A commencer par le sucre. Réduire sa présence dans l'alimentation pourrait contrarier les cellules cancéreuse, avides de glucose.

Affiliations and Expertise National Institutes of Health, Bethesda MD, USA Anterograde amnesia Anterograde amnesia is a loss of the ability to create new memories after the event that caused the amnesia, leading to a partial or complete inability to recall the recent past, while long-term memories from before the event remain intact. This is in contrast to retrograde amnesia, where most memories created prior to the event are lost while new memories can still be created. Both can occur together in the same patient. To a large degree, anterograde amnesia remains a mysterious ailment because the precise mechanism of storing memories is not yet well understood, although it is known that the regions involved are certain sites in the temporal cortex, especially in the hippocampus and nearby subcortical regions. Causes[edit] This disorder is usually acquired in one of few ways: One cause is benzodiazepine drugs, such as midazolam, flunitrazepam, lorazepam, temazepam, nitrazepam, triazolam, and nimetazepam, which are known to have powerful amnesic effects. Alcohol intoxication[edit]
Dr. Sebi: The Man Who Cures AIDS, Cancer, Diabetes and More By Carolanne Wright Contributing Writer for Wake Up World Editor's note, 7th of August 2016: We are sad to report that Dr. Sebi died yesterday while imprisoned in Honduras.

Your Brain on Diabetes Anyone who is diabetic—or knows a diabetic—recognizes the importance of insulin. The hormone helps cells store sugar and fat for energy; when the body cannot produce enough of it (type 1 diabetes) or responds inadequately to it (type 2 diabetes), a range of circulatory and heart problems develop. But that is not all: recent research suggests that insulin is crucial for the brain, too—insulin abnormalities have been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's. Historically, scientists believed that insulin was produced only by the pancreas and had no business in the central nervous system. Soon afterward, scientists discovered that insulin plays an important role in learning and memory. These observations led neuropathologist Suzanne de la Monte and her colleagues at Brown University to ask whether brain insulin might have a part in Alzheimer's, which is characterized by severe memory loss.
Vagus nerve stimulation Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an adjunctive treatment for certain types of intractable epilepsy and treatment-resistant depression. Mechanism of action[edit] Vagus, the tenth cranial nerve, arises from the medulla and carries both afferent and efferent fibers. The afferent vagal fibers connect to the nucleus of the solitary tract which in turn projects connections to other locations in the central nervous system. Little is understood about exactly how vagal nerve stimulation modulates mood and seizure control but proposed mechanisms include alteration of norepinephrine release by projections of solitary tract to the locus coeruleus, elevated levels of inhibitory GABA related to vagal stimulation and inhibition of aberrant cortical activity by reticular system activation.[1] Approval and endorsement[edit] In 1997, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of VNS as an adjunctive therapy for partial-onset epilepsy.

What's new?
While Medibank Private has been in the press a lot of late for various reasons, it has been the release of the company's FY16 results and the subsequent changes to the Executive Leadership Team that are of most interest to us. Unfortunately for Medibank Private and its shareholders, neither of these announcements has been able to reverse the downward trend in the company's share price that has been in place since the record high reached in May 2016.
Starting with the recent executive changes, the key point to note is Medibank Private's intent to improve its customer service, with this having been reflected through the addition of a Chief Customer Officer to the company's Executive Leadership Team. This makes sense to us, given both the damage (perceived or otherwise) that Medibank Private's brand has sustained over the last 12 months or so, and the competitive nature of the PHI industry.
The other key point to note from the announced changes to Medibank Private's executive team is the announced departure of the company's Chief Financial Officer. While a search for a replacement has begun, this remains work-in-progress. This is not an ideal scenario, but nonetheless indicative of the new Chief Executive Officer's intent to ensure Medibank Private has "the right team in place with clear accountabilities" to deliver on the company's "big agenda".
While it remains unclear exactly what new management's "big agenda" entails, it seems reasonable to conclude that it revolves around shoring up Medibank Private's market position by improving its customer offering and brand image. The good news for Medibank Private's shareholders is that the recent adverse media coverage does not appear to be having a material impact on the company's headline earnings, with this due to an exceptional performance on claims and operating costs.
For the 12 months ending 30 June 2016, Medibank Private reported a 53.7 percent increase in its core Health Insurance operating profit on the back of a 4 percent increase in premium revenues and a 74.6 percent increase in its Complimentary Services operating profit despite an 11.2 percent decline in segment revenue. This in our view highlights that Medibank Private is continuing to benefit from both regulated premium increases and the optimisation of its value chain.
However, peeling back the layers, we see one glaring shortcoming with Medibank Private's FY16 results - that is, the continued erosion of the company's core policyholder base. This is evident in the fact that Medibank Private's reported revenue growth for FY16 is below the weighted average regulated increase in premiums, with this due to 3.8 percent decline in higher margin Medibank policyholders, which more than offset a 5.0 percent increase in lower margin ahm policyholders.
The good news in our view is that Medibank Private has a very strong capital and market position from which to navigate what has and is likely to continue to be a difficult period for the company (both from an operating and investment returns perspective). In terms of Medibank Private's prospects for FY17, we note that while management has not provided any explicit earnings guidance, it does expect the current financial year to be similar to 2H16, which was below 1H16.
Based on consensus estimates for FY17, Medibank Private is trading at 17.1 times and yielding 4.5 percent with an ROE of 24.9 percent. In comparison, NIB Holdings is trading at 19.7 times, with a yield of 3.4 percent. In our view, Medibank Private's reasonably compelling relative value is supplemented by what we consider to be a robust technical set up, with both the 50-day moving average and the relative strength indicator being indicative of an exhaustion of near-term selling.
Worth buying?
We view Medibank Private's declining policyholder base as being more cyclical than structural. Having arguably been too effective at expanding Medibank's profit margins through tighter control of claims and operating cost at the expense of its value proposition, we now expect management to seek a more optimal balance between the two earnings levers. Notwithstanding the potential for some near-term earnings weakness, we remain positive on Medibank Private's long-term thematic.

Invest in your future by embarking on a career in the field of Logistics and Supply Chain Management. The field of Logistics and Supply Chain Management has evolved to such a degree, that it is an essential part of our growing economy. If you wish to become a part of the Logistics and Supply Chain environment where control, management and securing the movement of goods from suppliers to customers has become an ever-increasing need critical to companies all over the world, then this course is designed for you. It will gain insight into how to better manage the Logistics and Supply Chain component. By the end of the program candidate will better appreciate the differences between "supply chain" and "logistics".
It has now been established without any doubt whatsoever that lean supply chains and efficient logistics systems lead directly to increased bottom line profits. Leading edge companies which successfully gain competitive advantage and which are able to implement immediate cost savings, are those which possess knowledgeable and skilful logistics professionals. As more and more responsibility is placed on the Logistics function, the need has intensified for its practitioners to be highly skilled in the various elements of Supply Chain Management and to be completely up to date with best practices in the industry both national and international. Logisticians must take their place alongside engineers and accountants as proficient and exceptionally well-trained professionals.
Many companies wishing to up-skill their Supply Chain Personnel have found that there is a glaring lack of structured Logistics training available. The International Logistics and Supply Chain Management Institute (ILSCMI), the professional body for Logistics professionals, is dedicated to bridging this competency gap and to enhancing the professionalism of those involved in the industry.
The Institute's course in Logistics Management will up-skill participants and provide them with the necessary expertise to meet the Logistics challenges of the future. The course will explore and critically examine the latest Logistics success recipes with a view to their application in the participant's own organisation. All best practices will be illustrated with videos and case studies from leading multi-national companies. The course is particularly suitable for logistics and/or transport personnel who require flexible learning to fit around their work commitments.
The ILSCMI's Diploma in Logistics & Supply Chain Management, is now producing a breed of professionals whose new found expertise has enabled both the individual and the company that they work for to reap the benefits in a very short time frame.
Course Duration
You should be able to complete this course within 12 months.
Course Content
-Integrated Supply Chain Management –Logistics Management - Forecasting and Demand Management -Creating a Logistics Competitive Advantage -Warehouse Operation and Facility Design - Procurement and Packaging - Transportation - Inventory Management – Reverse Logistics –Supply Chain Strategy – Material Management
Businesses are increasingly looking for improvements in their logistics and supply chain performance. While many students may take this major to enhance their performance potential with an existing employer, others may view this major as an opportunity to become familiar with logistics and supply chain operations. For those students, there is a very positive employment picture for graduates.

Even with its purchase of Nokia, Microsoft won't forget its Windows Phone partners
posted by Alan F. / Sep 03, 2013, 2:14 AM
When Google acquired Motorola, it also acquired a backlog of models that it had to get past before stamping its ideas on a Motorola handset, something that seems to have started with the Motorola Moto X. Remember, Google is spending $500 million advertising the phone. As for Microsoft, it is unknown what kind of backlog Nokia has, although it supposedly does have the Nokia Lumia 1520 phablet rumored to be introduced at the end of this month and launched in November. There is also the rumored Nokia Sirius tablet, expected to be unveiled September 26th. The tablet, allegedly seen in a photograph wearing the Verizon brand, would compete with the Microsoft Surface RT.
"This goes to the core of how I think about my new job running the Operating Systems Group here. We have exciting ideas, and so do our OEM partners. Our partners bring innovation, diversity and scale to Windows. I'm always thrilled by the beautiful new device designs our partners are continually bringing to market. There's a breadth of choice in form factor, finish and materials that deliver unique devices at a variety of price points. These devices feature innovative high resolution displays, audio, cameras, multi-finger touch screens, creative new hinge designs, new sensors, and other hardware enhancements that provide choice in the market and great experiences for users...Our OS group mission is to enable the innovations of our hardware partners to shine through on the Windows platform. We collaborate with our Microsoft hardware teams in the same way we partner with our external hardware partners: we discreetly discuss technical and business opportunities, make shared bets, empower each other to do great work, and then operate closely together to delight our shared customers. We look forward to building new products together that will provide valuable business opportunity for the ecosystem and enable OEMs to deliver huge value to their customers, from consumers to the largest enterprise."-Terry Myerson, EVP Operating Systems

I sometimes thinks to myself that what if Nokia put all those efforts into their Symbian or meego, what will they achieve??? Think about it pureview camera,Lumia design(N9 design to be precise) ,all those software exclusives(all those effort nokia put on to developers for games and apps for WP),Nokia map service. They could have keep up with competition with quad core processor and 1080p screen etc. I know MS help nokia with their $$$s.

Support it or not most people prefer nokia when it comes to WP. And many OEM's are losing interest in WP because they can't compete against nokia Lumia series. WP market is just like android market only one OEM take most profit which is Nokia. this is more like google brought Samsung instead of Motorola. things will get more interesting from now on...

Lets be real. Stop commenting about Symbian or meego when both platforms had potential but were slush when it comes to speed and performance. Both had terrible lag and touch response compared to android and ios. It was either stay with those programs and be like blackberry or take on wp loose money but regain it with more in the end or go android and fight with all the other Android phone makers. You all don't see it but Motorola is going to be the main Android device as time goes by just like Samsung is going to push Tizen more than android eventually.

What have you done Stephen Elop! All I wanted is Nokia to be Nokia. Nokia has been more than 20 years in mobile phone making and just sold of for $7.2 billion like that. Please wake up and see the world. Why not be like few years back. Coming out phones with multiple OS market. Like Linux and Symbian. Why not Nokia try to take two OS like Android and MIcrosoft? Selling to Microsoft is a no go. Really upset me by accepting only $7.2 billion for mobile platform. Why not view yourself as a infiniti?

Their partners need to do a better job in creating the experience WP deserves. MS did this to show them the way much like they are doing with the Surface because clearly OEMs no nothing about creating a unique product without help.

I know there have been threads before but what did you do or what are you planning on doing for your first anniversary?
I know there have been threads before but what did you do or what are you planning on doing for your first anniversary?
We're heading back to Puerto Vallarta to the resort we spent our honeymoon at – this time with friends! 🙂 Can't wait – 169 days and counting!
broadway show and a laid back dinner at a brazilian outdoor restaurant in alphabet city
@7SEVENJ9: that is awesome!
@ilovenycmissie: what show did you see?
we watched west side story, it was okay, I should have picked something else because I already watched the movie so many times; maybe we should have watched Wicked or Lion king but it didnt seem wedding like/anniversary like
Darling Husband said he has something secret planned…but we're also trying to take a trip to California sometime in Sept, so to me, that will count as an "anniversary trip".
We are still calculating if we can afford it. Planning a trip back to the city where we met and where we used to live (on the other side of the country).
We got married in a cute little town about an hour away from us, and we went back for the weekend for our anniversary. It was really nice, we brought our dog and stayed at a pet friendly B&B, there was a pet rescue fair going on that weekend, and we went to the dog beach. We went around and retook pictures at some of our favorite spots that our wedding pics were taken, it's neat to see the changes we've been through (my husband gained much needed weight and is now healthier, and I'm pregnant), in just a year.
Not really sure.
We have a family trip July 4th week so doubtful we'll be able to afford a trip of any kind or time off for a trip for our anni.
What do you have planned??? 😀
Our first anniversary is in July and we have a trip planned to Paradise Island, Bahamas!!! So excited 🙂
We don't have anything special planned. We've been taking a lot of weekend trips so far this year plus we bought a new car in December and will (hopefully) be buying a house by the end of summer (have to wait until my job stuff gets straightened out). We decided that we won't do much of anything beyond going out to dinner (DH will be at a bachelor party that weekend anyway and won't get back until the evening of our anniversary).
@Mrs.KMM: you are a nice wife for letting the hubby go to a bachelor party on your anniversary!!
All of your plans sound wonderful 🙂
We havent decided. We were thinking of spending a weekend somewhere that weve never been together – maybe Boston or Philadelphia. We are planning on a cruise for early December so we dont want to spend too much!
We went to New Orleans (we LOVE Nola!) for Satchmo Fest and to visit with our friends who moved there the day after our wedding. We started a tradition: we got up on the morning of our anniversary and read our vows to each other. Totally informal, my friend was making breakfast, her fiance was sitting at the table–and we just read them off of the computer to each other, sort of as a refresher of what we promised to each other.
@PitBulLover: It's for one of my best friend's / BM's soon-to-be husband (who was just shy of being a Groomsmen for DH). I couldn't say no, but I will harrass the bachelor for his timing!
I'm 99% sure we're going to Costa Rica!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The topic 'First anniversary – what did you do?' is closed to new replies.

Now more than ever it's important for companies to be cognizant of saving energy. Fuel can be expensive and shouldn't be wasted. Fortunately, modular boilers manufactured by companies like Miura can help you to save energy and money at the same time. Here are a few ways that modular boilers outshine conventional boilers when it comes to saving energy.Contact Us
Miura boilers come with a variety of accessories and systems in place to improve either the safety or efficiency of the boiler. A great example of this is the BL Micro Controller, which plays an important role in making sure your boiler system meets steam demands in the most efficient way possible.Contact Us
Safety is always of the utmost importance when it comes to industrial boilers. Miura recognizes this by having a remote monitoring system and other safety measures to ensure our boilers are safe and reliable. However, our boilers are also designed in a way that allows them to function with low water content, making them inherently safer than traditional boilers.Contact Us
There are a number of reasons why organizations choose Miura's modular water tube boilers over conventional fire tube boilers. For starters, they are safer than traditional boilers. They are also more environmentally friendly because of how well they reduce emissions of harmful substances like NOx. However, the biggest reason companies prefer Miura boilers is the way they can help them reduce operating costs. Here are just a few examples of how Miura's boilers have helped an organization save money.Contact Us
To best serve our customers in a wide variety of industries, Miura manufactures two series of modular boilers: the EX and the LX. Both are superior to traditional fire tube boilers regarding fuel efficiency, safety, and how quickly they can start producing steam. However, there are distinctions between the two series models that will affect what one is the right for you.Contact Us
