Frenchgate Shopping Centre is recruiting for a team of children to test out all the facilities and events for youngsters at Frenchgate – with a team of lucky winners becoming appointed as 'Official Fun Makers'.
Children are being invited to apply to test out all the facilities and events for youngsters at Frenchgate – with a team of lucky winners becoming appointed as 'Official Fun Makers'.
Alongside the children's soft play area on the upper mall, Kiddy Cars, a kids' fun club and Frenchie, the centre mascot, Frenchgate also holds special kids' event throughout the year such as school holidays.
To help make the events even better and to give feedback on facilities, the centre is now looking for a team of 'fun makers' made up of local kids who love to come along to Frenchgate with their parents.
The children's free soft play area, Frenchie's Fun Zone, which recently moved from the food mall to make way for a new restaurant to the upper mall near the customer toilets, has been a huge success. Plus the introduction of new 'Kiddy Cars' and Frenchie's Fun Club – the home of mascot Frenchie – have also been a hit with parents.
Kiddy Cars were introduced before Christmas to make shopping more for fun for Frenchgate's youngest visitors. The pint-sized vehicles can be pushed around while the grown-ups do the shopping, and are also equipped with trolleys to carry bags, too.
Lauren Sims, marketing assistant at the centre, said: "We launched Frenchie's Fun Club in October half term and it has had a great response from our young visitors. Members get a passbook in which they can collect stamps for treats but by just being a member they get exclusive access to upcoming news, events and exclusive offers.
"We want kids to really interact with what's on offer at Frenchgate by telling us what they enjoy about our facilities, what keeps them entertained and what they'd like to see us introduce in the future."
Children wanting to become an Official Fun Maker must be aged eight or under. Parents and guardians should email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Dateline New York–Little Suri on a "go see"? It seems that Little Suri (daughter of Tom & Katie Cruise) has taken New York City by storm. She is the 'new face of Baby Gap'. Our sources tell us that while in New York Little Suri went on a "photo session" and that when lights and cameras were being 'set up for her photo shoot' she began "acting out" in grand model style. Sources at the photo session spotted Little Suri taking in a "white substance" through a straw ("Got Milk!"–said Suri). That she was dancing around to jiggly sounds that boomed loudly from the Sony stereo speakers ("The Wiggles!"–shouted Suri). Then, sources tell us, that "from all that acting" Little Suri just passed out cold ("Sleepy, Okay!" –yelled Suri, just before she conked out)….

The ultimate solution for secure cash processing
The ultimate solution for secure cash processing Graham Jackson, Volumatic's European Sales Manager, discusses how the 'CounterCache intelligent' can help retailers process cash more efficiently.
Crime is increasing and the need to protect cash is probably more important now than it ever was. With worries about the security of credit and debit cards, and consumers wanting to maintain tight control over their finances, even more people are turning to cash to purchase retail goods. Cash is now used for 60% of all transactions, up from 54% last year (source: British Retail Consortium 2008). In an ideal world, once cash has been handed over from the customer to the retailer, 100% of this money should find its way quickly and directly into the retailer's bank account. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.
Volumatic's 'CounterCache intelligent' (CCi) is a unique cash validation and storage device that can help protect and secure cash at all stages of its journey from the consumer to cashier, to back office, to cash-intransit company, and finally to the cash centre and bank.
Cash remains the cheapest method of payment for a retailer to accept with the total cost of processing cash typically estimated at 2 pence per transaction compared to 34 pence per transaction for credit card payments. There are numerous elements that make up this charge including the cost of forgeries, process time such as skims, banking reconciliations, till snatches, internal theft, cash-in-transit and banking charges. Unlike any other product available today the CCi moves the validation, data recording and secure storage of notes to the front line – the interaction between the cashier and the customer – allowing cash to be processed more quickly, less expensively and more securely.
The Volumatic CCi system is an intelligent cash deposit box that can be securely installed under the checkout counter at the point of sale. The banknotes are held in a tamper-evident pouch that can be used to store the cash as it journeys through the retail system.
It is generally accepted that fraud and theft of cash and goods represents between one and eight per cent of the retailers' total revenues. The theft and fraud is termed shrinkage and can made up from a number of sources, mostly concerned with theft by criminals either from outside or from within the business. The recently published 2008 Global Retail Fraud Barometer reported that the worldwide cost of fraud now exceeds $100billion and as the economic gloom worsens this figure is only likely to increase. It is imperative that retailers look very closely at all options for reducing their susceptibility to fraud, without impacting their operational efficiency.
Forgeries – automatic validation at the till point
The first problem that retailers can face is that of forged notes that are not spotted by the cashier. Forgers tend to work in gangs in specific areas and a large number offorgeries may be presented in a relatively short space of time in the same area. Any mechanism that can detect forged notes will dissuade criminals very quickly from attempting to pass forged notes in the same outlet again. The CounterCache intelligent unit scans and validates all banknotes that are inserted. In tests, the CCi has correctly detected all current known forgeries. The CCi checks the banknotes at 40 different points and uses a variety of detection methods including magnetic strip, ultra-violet and infra-red. Retailers will all have their own policy on how to deal with potential forgeries but the CCi will help stop the problem of forged notes getting into the till and also help dissuade the offenders from trying to offload such notes in the same store in future.
Till snatches – secure storage at the till point eliminates opportunity
The next issue faced by retail outlets is till snatches. The worst part of this crime is that the cashiers can very often get hurt in the process. These are often opportunistic crimes so the best way to solve this problem is to minimize the amount of cash in the till drawer at any one time. If the cashier can insert large denomination notes into the CCi then only the minimum amount required for change and cash back purposes will be left in the till, reducing the probability of attempted till snatches. This also has the knock-on effect of protecting the staff and making them less nervous of a possible assault. The CCi unit is generally fixed underneath the checkout, out of sight to customers and out of temptation's way. The unit is bolted securely to the checkout counter and can only be opened by a secure key. The CCi is easy to use and transaction neutral. The old saying says that opportunity makes the thief; CCi eliminates the opportunity.
Removing the need for skims – saving time and increasing till efficiency
To reduce the amount of cash in a till at any one time (in the absence of a CCi unit), most retailers perform skims throughout the day. In some environments as little as £200 at a time may be skimmed. A skim is just the removal of a significant proportion of the banknotes in a till. Each skim requires either at least one member of staff to physically go to each till and pick up the cash and then transport it to the back office (cash office), or the use of expensive, inflexible and inefficient pneumatic tube systems. This uses up a significant amount of time and also exposes the staff member to risk as exposing cash for these skims is an obvious time to attempt to steal the money. The CCi unit can hold in excess of 400 notes or about £6000. By storing the banknotes in the CCi unit, there is no longer a requirement for skims, thus freeing up time and reducing risk of assault on staff. This also increases the till availability. The cash in the CCi is removed safely after trading hours when the store is secure.
The TruPouch – improving process efficiency and cash protection from till to bank
Another way to reduce the amount of shrinkage is to minimize the number of times the cash is actually touched and counted during its journey through the system. The CCi solves this problem by use of a pouch to hold the banknotes. Once the notes have been accepted by the CCi they are automatically stacked in an opaque plastic pouch called the TruPouch™ (patented by Volumatic). When the pouch is removed from the CCi, the amount of cash is known and recorded by the CCi and, if used, a host computer. The pouch is sealed and tamper-evident, meaning that it is obvious if anyone has attempted to open it. There is no need to open and recount the cash until it reaches its final destination. This can clearly save a significant amount of time and drastically reduce the probability of cash going missing either through theft or simple misreporting. When the pouch is removed from the CCi unit, the amount contained and the time and date (and cashier name) can be written on the side of the pouch. This can be reconciled with a printout of the pouch data. Copies of the printout (which includes the number of each note denomination, time entered and total) can be attached to the pouch and also given to the local cash office.
Rather than recount the money in the back office, the pouches can be sent directly to the bank. Alternatively, the retailer may use the services of a cash-in-transit (CIT) company to pick up the cash and transfer it to a cash centre. The TruPouch is fully compatible with either system. The cash-in-transit companies transfer the pouches into bags when they pick up from retailers.
These bags often have exploding ink or dye deterrent systems to stain the banknotes in the event of theft. It is important that the TruPouch product works with these systems and Volumatic took advice from various industry players during its design.
Made of an opaque, grey plastic with holes across its surface, TruPouch™ is recyclable and certified for use with the ink and dye system. The storage pouches are also small and light and much easier to handle than the traditional heavier and bulkier cassettes or money wallets.
Clearly, it is also important to be aware that criminals may attempt to remove the tamper-evident pouches from the cash deposit box at the checkout. Any cash deposit box solution must be able to detect when an unusual event has occurred that i.e. a sequence of events that does not conform to the normal cash process. The CCi will report actions such as door open, carrier removal, and power loss to the back office, who can then act accordingly.
The important issues for cash centres are the number of money packs they have to process, the quality of note presentation, the number of forgeries, data reporting, trust level of the amounts deposited, and the overall efficiency of the process. The Volumatic TruPouch transportable containers are light and easy to process since all the enclosed notes have already been scanned and validated by the CCi unit. The pouches can hold over 400 notes and all notes are neatly presented. The amount of cash and number of each denomination within the pouch is already known and 100% accurate. The CCi system therefore provides a compelling solution for cash centres.
Real time data – eliminating the cash 'black hole'
Information gathering or data mining has been an important function for many companies for many years now. Whilst retailers have had real time reporting from both EPOS systems and card payment terminals, the physical cash taken by a retailer has remained an information black hole, until hours or in some case days after the transaction has taken place. Company head offices would like to be able to see the status of cash taken at tills in their various stores all over the world as it happens. This enables them to quickly identify and react to problems or changes in circumstances as they occur. The CCi unit allows for the tracking and monitoring of cash as it is inserted. Volumatic has a software package called "CCi View", which runs on a retailer's back office system. CCi View enables the company to configure and monitor all CCi units that are connected. The back office will then know the exact up-to-the-minute status and history of all units in their store. In addition, this software could allow a company's head office in another country to monitor all CCi units, wherever they may be, over a secure link via the internet.
CCi technology – proven, reliable and secure
The CCi unit scans and validates bank notes as they are inserted. The CCi uses the well-known certified JCM note validator head unit. The CCi consists of three physical parts: the CCi validator head; the CCi stacker; and the CCi pouch carrier. These three modules are integrated into a solid metal frame, which is also fitted with a CCi communications card. The CCi can operate as a standalone machine and can accept bank notes without intervention from a host computer. It contains sufficient memory to hold the contents of the last 50 pouches equivalent to about eight thousand CCi events. In order to extract and process this information an external computer is required. This can be a Bluetooth connected PDA or a PC connected either by Ethernet, USB or serial link.
The CCi validator head is the upper module, which the bank notes are fed into by the user, one at a time. It performs the checking and validation of the notes and automatically accepts or rejects them. If accepted they are automatically passed to the CCi stacker. The CCi validator head can only be removed by using the main door key. The CCi stacker is the module that takes the banknotes one at a time from the validator head and pushes them into the pouch (TruPouch) that is fitted into the CCi Pouch Carrier. It is removable by the use of a separate lock and key.
The CCi Pouch Carrier is fitted below the CCi Stacker and holds the pouch into which the banknotes are stacked. It is only removable by using the main door key and a plastic pouch keyplate. Whenever a new pouch is inserted into the CCi, the software allocates it a new pouch identification number. The CCi Comms Card is fitted internally within the CCi and provides an Ethernet communication port plus one of Bluetooth, or USB, or RS232 ports (depending upon the chosen configuration) to the outside world. The CCi Host is the computer which is used to configure, control and extract data from the CCi. It may be in the form of a mobile PDA, a Point of Sale device, a back office PC or server. In order to communicate with one or more CCis, the host must have software on it that supports the CCi Communication Protocol and it must have one of the appropriate communication ports – Bluetooth, USB, RS232 or Ethernet.
In order to retrieve the cash a secure octagonal radial key needs to be used to open the front door of the CCi unit. The cash can still not be removed until a plastic keyplate is inserted. The keyplate locks into the plastic TruPouch and also enables the carrier unit (containing the pouch) to be removed from the CCi. The TruPouch can now be removed from the carrier. However, since the keyplate is now locked in place, the pouch is tamper-evident. This means that it is obvious if anybody has attempted to open it and remove the cash as the plastic pouch needs to be torn or cut open. This is specifically for thwarting in-store theft by employees. A new pouch can now be placed in the carrier and reinserted in the CCi unit and the door relocked. The CCi has the ability to inform the user when the pouch is becoming full and needs to be changed. The back office system or PDA can monitor the CCi units in the store and provide a complete event log of how much cash has been inserted and at what time. It will also inform you when the CCi door has been opened, the carrier removed, carrier re-inserted, and the door closed again. It also informs you if communication has been lost between the head and the stacker unit, which would occur in the event of a power loss. These events could be innocent or part of an attempted theft. In a power loss situation (when the pouches contain cash) the pouches are reported as "suspect" (once the power is restored) by the software indicating that they should be checked. The CCi provides immediate user feedback through a simple "traffic light" style LED display. A continuous sequence of walking green LEDs indicates that the CCi is working correctly and ready to receive notes. Other combinations of static or flashing amber and red LEDs indicate a change in status, for example: the pouch is becoming full; the pouch is full; the pouch is suspect; or the door is open.
Servicing and maintenance
The CCI unit is designed to be very easy to maintain and service. An octagonal radial key is used to open the front door. A keyplate is then used to remove the pouch carrier. The validator unit can then be removed by pressing a button at the front of the unit. This just leaves the stacker unit. With the validator removed a lock is exposed on the top of the stacker unit and a separate key is then used to remove the stacker unit. All remaining hardware including the communications card is then accessible to a service engineer. This all means that each separate component can easily be replaced if required.
Implementation – fast and hassle free
The use of the wireless PDA as a host enables the CCi solution to be trialed very easily at customers' premises. It is an out-of-the-box solution that can be up and running with fifteen minutes. The CCi solution has already been implemented at a number of retail outlets in the UK. The CCi continues to stimulate significant interest in the retail sector and Volumatic is working on configurations with a wide variety of food outlets and supermarkets. Volumatic has 30 years of experience helping customers, having installed over half a million of its standard mechanical CounterCache cash deposit boxes at supermarkets, pubs, restaurants and all other types of retail outlets throughout Europe. The CCi unit is particularly suited to any organization that accepts cash, cares about the safety and security of its staff and wants to improve the efficiency and security of its cash handling processes. In some retail environments the CCi units have provided a positive return on investment within six months of being deployed.

As we begin the New Year, I would like to take a moment to reflect upon the past. I am a firm believer that in order to chart the course of our journey into the future, we must take a look at where we have been. It would be appropriate at this time to thank all my loyal supporters and the 1700+ who have read my blogs. I must admit the response to "The Greatest Gift of All" and "A Christmas Wish" was more than could have been anticipated. The ripple effect was felt around the nation as kindhearted people put this wish into practice. It was all over the news, bringing a smile to my family. There were hosts of mystery people helping others without revealing their identity. Can you imagine the feelings of the recipient of such a gift? Better yet, can you imagine the feeling within the individual who offered such an act of kindness without receiving any praise?
With that being said, let's carry this thought forward and pay tribute to the true heroes in our lives. The world is filled with kindness and those who are sacrificing everything in order to help others. Yet, to accomplish that requires more than we realize. Our police officers protect us from those who would do us harm. It is because of their sacrifice that we can move about freely, carry on with our wishes, and expect to be safe while doing so. Can you imagine what it would be like if it weren't for those dedicated officers of the law?
I wrote many stories of the Wild West, days of the frontiers, and of the times when our survival was left up to us as individuals. Thankfully that has changed. It is not perfect. There is corruption, bribes, and dishonest judges who pervert the law; but as a whole, most are descent, dedicated keepers of the law. It is a disgrace to them to learn of bribes being taken by their own to pervert justice. To those who are truly devoted to keeping the oath they have taken to uphold the law, our deep-seated gratitude goes out to you.
It is only fitting and appropriate to praise the many individuals in our armed forces and to pay tribute to them. They leave their families and the comfort of their homes to enter harms way in order to protect us. Many pay the ultimate of sacrifices so we can have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This great nation stands today as tribute to centuries of men and women who have served their country. Without their sacrifice, we would most likely find ourselves under the control of a dictatorship or sovereign power, stripping us of the many privileges we enjoy today.
But, alas not all is well. Unfortunately problems do exist. They will be waiting for us in the future, just as they have persisted in the past. One that I would like to touch on is human trafficking. It is a global crisis and is out of control. I have written "The Twelve SEALs" and two sequels for the purpose of creating public awareness about this subject. Education is the key. The next release is about to hit the bookstores, and you will certainly acquire a new level of appreciation for the SEALs after reading of these heroic efforts by some of our finest. In these stories the president has become fed up with the tolerance of human trafficking. Corruption is at the root of the problem, and the love of money is the driving force that is destroying the lives of many of our young women. You may know of someone that has disappeared, never to be heard from again. I do! Is human trafficking behind it? We are beginning to suspect as much.
In an effort to put a stop to the abductions, trafficking, and abuse of these unfortunate victims, the president has called upon the elite. Who better than the Navy SEALs is there to protect our young women? When victims are abducted, leaving behind no evidence to follow, and the police reach a dead end, it suddenly becomes a job for a team of former SEALs. These guys are dedicated to protecting those who are unable to protect themselves. Their training has prepared them for the task, and now they issue a warning: "We got Bin Laden; and if you are involved in human trafficking, we will get you too!" Young women are disappearing at an alarming rate and need someone to rescue them. They wait, desperately wanting to be found. Now there is hope, and soon the victims will be returned to the loving arms of their families. Here is a tribute to our finest!
Recently I had the good fortune of being a guest on Dottie Laster's Here Women Talk Radio. If you would like to listen to my southern accent, click on the link below and choose archives. My portion is the final twenty minutes of the broadcast. Those who are concerned about my accent need not worry. Once the ink touches the paper, the accent melts away.
If you would like to learn more about ways to avoid becoming a victim of human trafficking, please consider "The Twelve SEALs" out now, and its sequels soon to be released.

About RBC > Corporate Profile > Awards and Recognition > RBC recognized as one of Canada Top 100 Employers for 2011
TORONTO, October 15, 2010, – This is the third consecutive year that a blue-ribbon panel of employment experts ranked RBC among the best places in the nation to work. Mediacorp Canada Inc., in its annual survey of Canadian businesses, once again selected RBC as one of Canada's "Top 100 Employers."
The recognition looks at people practices of more than 75,000 organizations and companies, inviting roughly 16,000 organizations to apply. Selection of the Top 100 was based on an assessment of many aspects of the workplace including employee communications, performance management, training and career development, total rewards and diversity. Charitable efforts and community involvement were also considered.
"RBC continues to be recognized as a great place to work by various studies, which is no small accomplishment," said Gordon Nixon, RBC president and chief executive officer. "Recognition like the Top 100 shows what kind of workplace our employees have created together, and how deeply our values are ingrained at RBC. An important source of our success is a combination of our employees' ongoing commitment to RBC's vision of Always earning the right to be our clients' first choice, their pride in being a part of the RBC team, and the company's commitment to employee success."
RBC was recognized for rewards that go above and beyond traditional compensation, such as flexible work arrangements, career development, a flexible health benefits plan, and scholarships awarded to employees' children. RBC recognizes that employees have diverse needs and priorities so our Total Rewards package spans the choice and flexibility that employees desire.
"This notion of employees winning, creating an environment where everyone has the opportunity to achieve their full potential is part of our culture and supported by our policies and practices," said Zabeen Hirji, chief human resources officer at RBC. "We believe that for us to serve our clients well and for the organization to succeed, we must harness everyone's talents and energy and apply them to achieving our common goals."
This year's winners are being announced today in a special editorial supplement in The Globe and Mail.

A back-taxes charge in Indiana offset a healthy performance at Atlantic City's Borgata Casino resort as Las Vegas-based Boyd Gaming Corp. posted a drop in first-quarter earnings on Thursday.
The company, which operates the Stardust, California, Fremont, Main Street Station and Sam's Town among other properties in Southern Nevada, reported net earnings of $13.5 million, or 20 cents a share, compared with $16.4 million, or 25 cents a share, for the same period a year earlier.
Excluding the tax charge and preopening costs of the Borgata a year earlier, the company's earnings per share were unchanged at 29 cents. Earnings were in line with analysts' expectations.
The company reported revenue of $330 million for the quarter compared with $321.9 million for the same period in 2003.

Before running the utility, take the time to look for funds that need to be retired. If possible, retire them before running the utility for the first time for the new year. The End of Year Closing utility performs the following functions:
- Creates a set of general ledger accounts records for the new year, based on the current year's accounts. If an account is set as inactive and would have a zero beginning balance in the new year, the utility will not create it for the new year.
- Establishes the beginning balances for the balance sheet accounts in the new year. The ending balance for the old year automatically becomes the beginning balance for the new year.
- Closes the revenue, expense and transfer accounts to the appropriate fund balance accounts in the new year.
- Creates a zero beginning balance for revenue, expense and transfer accounts in the new year.
- People do not need to be logged out of FIMS when the process is running, but people should not be posting in the GL.
The attached documentation will provide instructions for running the utility and explains what is happening in your General Ledger when this is run. The documentation also provides information on other procedures that need attention at year end for your organization:
- General Ledger calendar
- Automatic EOY Processing
- Closing Modules by Date
- Rolling asset rebalancing targets forward
- Clearing 1099 Adjustment Amounts
- Updating future years accounts
- Running reconciliation reports
- Forwarding grant numbering
- Auto-creating grant applications
- Creating recurring grants from fund distributions
- Recurring tickles

|Paynesville Press - November 20, 2002
Direct lab access now available at PAHCS
October marked the beginning of direct lab access at the Paynesville Area Health Care System (PAHCS). Now members of the public can order their own tests directly from the lab, without going through a doctor, and get confidential results that will not be part of their permanent medical records.
The service was implemented in response to multiple requests for common tests, said Pat Solum, director of laboratory services at PAHCS.
Practical applications range from simple curiosity to wellness screening. Through the 11 tests currently available, it's possible to test blood type or cholesterol levels; to determine pregnancy, to test for drug use, and to screen for indicators of anemia, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers.
Traditionally the protocol for laboratories only allowed tests to be run by a doctor's request. The doctor in turn couldn't order a test without sufficient indication that it's necessary. Direct lab access is a testing alternative for people who want to monitor their health outside of the methods normally available, said Solum.
Josh Williams, a medical lab tech at PAHCS, processes patient samples in a centrifuge. Some lab tests can now be ordered by patients.
The lab ensures confidential handling of both testing and results. Solum noted that though some of the same tests are offered at health fairs. "Direct lab access is a testing option that is performed in a certified laboratory with modern equipment," she said.
Clients are encouraged to share the information with their health care provider. References are also sent to help interpret individual results.
If the tests appear abnormal, judged by lab-established standards, a physician on staff will review them and either phone the client with further information or enclose an explanatory letter with the client's results. "This service provides another access to health care, but it doesn't replace your physician," she cautioned.
Because these tests are requested directly by the individual, not a physician, full payment is required in advance. Costs range from $10 to $70, a full list of fees and tests offered at PAHCS can be found here. Direct lab access is not eligible for Medical Assistance, Medicare, or insurance claims, and PAHCS will not send a bill. Minors must be accompanied by an adult.
Direct lab access is available Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Fridays, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Saturdays, 8 a.m to noon at the main lab at PAHCS. Testing is also available at all PAHCS satellite clinics during their normal business hours.

Volatility has been proving a real challenge for fund managers seeking absolute returns but Church House Investment Management manager James Mahon has turned to cash and treasury stocks to navigate uncertainty.
The £50.9m Tenax Absolute Return Strategies fund has its biggest investment in floating rate notes, at almost 31 per cent of the fund, and cash at 12 per cent.
Mahon says: "We've been increasing floating rate notes over the last two years, so the greatest portion of the fund is either in cash or short-dated treasury stock. We are talking about highly liquid and high-grade instruments. We are seeking to achieve positive return over 12 months. We have had a fairly cautious strategy in place for a while, at least two years, and probably the fund is getting more cautious."
The fund also has a large exposure to fixed interest, currently at 24.3 per cent.
Mahon says: "The majority of the fixed interest slice of the portfolio is in sterling corporate debt, short medium-dated sterling corporate debt, hybrid corporate debt and some US hybrid corporate debt so we built up on the underlying assets rather than fixed interest per se."
The fund has been co-managed by Mahon and Jeremy Wharton since launch in 2007. Over three years, it has significantly outperformed its benchmark, the three-year British sterling Libor, returning 10.6 per cent against 1.64 per cent.
Despite investing mostly directly into asset classes, Church House also buys into other funds to maintain diversification. In property, which makes 3.7 per cent of the portfolio, Mahon holds the Standard Life Property Income trust, managed by Jason Baggaley, a position he has gradually increased to 1.7 per cent.
He says: "We still hold that fund because Baggaley invests in regional properties and he knows every property very well. It is not a very big pool of assets he has got but with the Standard Life name you get to see an enormous amount of opportunities."
Mahon also says the recent equity sell-off has given him other opportunities in property as the fund manager sold "more conventional" property holdings and started looking at some London based companies.
In particular, Mahon is "closely" monitoring Great Portland Estates, one of the companies which has been "probably hit too much" by the recent sell-off.
Mahon also says he likes to look at hedge funds for diversification, although there are "not too many good ones out there".
He says: "We hold two at the moment in the equity long-short space where we know the managers. Most hedge funds are insufficiently transparent for us and don't seem to have robust enough funds, but we don't close our minds to them."
Mahon says the strategy within his team is to not look at macro economic events when deciding on asset allocation.
"Looking at macro is not a basis for investment frankly. Forecasting is like looking at tea leaves and most forecasts get it wrong just as much they get it right.
"However, the thing that would surprise people would be a bit of inflation coming back into the system. Everybody is convinced we are deflating. If that happens we are going to see the market wobble outrageously and I don't want to be in a position of facing a 2006 sell-off in the bond market."
Mahon says overall, in equities the fund is "more international" rather than UK-focused. He tends to keep equity exposure below 20 per cent and it currently runs at 15 per cent.
"In equities, we are not planning any moves around the EU referendum unless it becomes an extreme event. The Brexit debate is now commencing in earnest, though the 'out' campaign appears to lack leadership at this stage.
"I wonder if enough thought is being given to the potential effect on Europe of the UK leaving rather than simply the effect on the UK."
Despite recent volatility, Mahon bought into some of the unloved mining stocks during the sell off.
He says fund managers have to be prepared "to move relatively quickly" because of increasing market uncertainties. "It is remarkably easy to find worries at the moment in markets. With bond rates this low it is quite hard to look forward at the next five to 10 years and say 'I am going to make great returns'.
"It wouldn't be surprising to see more volatility at an index level, simply because China is going through a major transition in its economy and it is hard to manage the relationship between that and how the US Federal Reserve backs away from putting rates up again."

Good Morning Monday. It's the start of another week and while it's not everyone's favorite day, we should still be grateful for it.
If you are following me in Instagram, you'll know that I am currently dog sitting this adorable Dachshund named Robbie while my boss, Nadine, is on vacation. I had met him a couple times before when she's brought some of her dogs up to visit with the residents. He's a sweet little thing, full of energy and love. We've loved having him in our little family the past few days, and we've still got a week to go!
|Nope, he doesn't like me. Not one little bit.
Come to find out, Nadine is trying to re-home some of her animals, and I don't blame her. Currently, she's got 11 cats and 5 dogs (including Robbie), and I'm pretty sure there are some birds, fish, and rabbits too. A zoo! Well, Robbie is one of the dogs she's looking for a new home for, and you know what? Hubs agree last night that his new home will be with us.
You can imagine my excitement to have a new baby in our house. Hubs really does spoil me, but I'm not complaining. I appreciate and am so grateful for all he does for me and our family. I'm grateful that we can give this sweet little man a good home, and that Nadine's daughters can come a visit Robbie whenever they want. I'm grateful that I can help out a friend.
What are you grateful for?

Hunt immediately began written communication with his group of four newly appointed senior lecturers. The purpose of Hunt's letters was twofold. First, it was to create a picture for them of exactly what was involved in building a university from scratch, so that when they arrived at Monash, they were informed and well prepared. For example, in 1960 Hunt wrote to Noel Murray, who was scheduled to arrive from England in March 1961:
It occurs to me that you may not have a very clear idea about what we are doing here. We are at present involved largely with the Architects and also with the acquisition of equipment and gradually we are thinking in terms of curricula although this does not worry us so much since the first year of the engineering courses will be run in conjunction with the Faculty of Science and include only mathematics, physics and chemistry.
Hunt continued on to describe the building plans for the campus and the way in which departments and faculties would share facilities, moving around progressively until the multi-staged building of the campus was complete. Clearly, Hunt was preparing Murray and the other three foundation appointments for what to expect once they arrived – a university in a state of construction and, potentially, disorder. He concluded his letter to Murray by saying:
You can see from this that we shall be playing the game of general post for quite a while and all I hope is that the staff will be prepared to accept this in a good-humoured and enthusiastic fashion, realising that we should in the end have something which is really good.
The second purpose of Hunt's letters was to start to build a sense of collegiality and involve his new staff in the planning of the Faculty. Via letters Hunt told each senior lecturer about the others and their background. He sought their feedback on course structure, research facilities and approaches to courses and teaching. In a letter to John Crisp in October 1960, Hunt told him about the other three colleagues and their areas of expertise. He then continued a discussion with Crisp in which they were clearly exploring the role that computers would play in the Faculty. Hunt wrote:
I agree entirely with you about computers and with the need to orientate courses in mathematics towards the use of computer techniques in design and research. It is clear that this is changing the use of engineering and we cannot afford to ignore it … What we shall do in engineering in the way of analogue computers will be up to us and I should welcome any ideas you might have about the places they should [be used] in the school as research and teaching tools.
As well as building a rapport with these early staff and seeking their input on the fundamentals of the Faculty, Hunt was working tirelessly to build the profile of Engineering at Monash and to recruit additional academic staff. In February 1961, a month before Monash was due to officially open, the Interim Council was informed that Hunt had been invited to give a series of lectures at Yale University. While he was overseas he would also visit England for the express purpose of staff recruitment. So important was this overseas venture that his trip was approved and funded, despite the fact that it meant he would be absent from the University's official opening ceremony.
Hunt's first trip overseas on university business was clearly successful. In early April he cabled the Monash University Registrar:
Over fifty people enquiring about engineering positions some obviously good stop please send twenty more sets general information stop since enormous job sorting out would appreciate postponing arrival Melbourne possibly until tenth May.
The following day the Registrar sent a return cable. Additional documents had been sent and Hunt's trip had been extended. Interest in Engineering at Monash was high and was continuing to grow.

The H1 Meter Multiplier Effect
Mr Wakefield
I read an old article online that you were mad as hell at Hydro One regarding a huge jump in your hydro bills once your old meter was changed out with a smart meter. I have read many such stories online. I can't imagine the pain of receiving these large monthly bills. I had the opportunity to talk to one of my in laws over Christmas who happens to work at Hydro One as a technician (10 years or so). I asked him what was going on.... well I heard an answer that was very surprising but seemed to make sense for a lot of the stories out there. He had a service call where the customer was really polite and asked him to see while he was there if he could figure out why his bill might be about 5x higher since the smart meter went in. Well when they get a work order, it includes info on the previous meter,this is the shocking part, some meters where geared and designed to turn slower but they had a multiplier factor 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, some maybe even 20x. Well looking at the history at the address the tech could see that indeed the customers old meter did have a multiplier, and when the new smart meter got installed the multiplier was carried forward, ALL SMART METERS are a 1x multiplier as they are digital. So no matter how many times you test your smart meter it will likely always come back testing just fine. There is one line of code in a computer program at hydro one multiplying your usage, causing a much higher than normal bill. My in law passed the info to his supervisor but I don't think this will help. My hope is that Hydro One is held accountable for this mix up and corrects the problem.

Thank you for this information. Hopefully this gets changed soon.ReplyDelete
I saw my hydro bill take a dramatic jump in November, 2011.ReplyDelete
This jump co-incided with the installation and operation of a Smart Meter installed by Hydro One.
The meter was installed in our holiday home. We use this home occasionally. When we leave, we shut everything down save our fridge and furnace, which we set to 15C. These actions have resulted in low hydro useage when we are not there. We have done this since we owned this place. As well, we have made improvements such as purchasing a new energy efficient fridge, stove, washing machine, new thermal sliding doors on upper and lower decks and a new storm door. We saw that our November hydro bill was twice as high as neighbors who live at the complex 365 days a year, we called Hydro One. We told them what had happened. WE TOLD THEM WE WEREN'T EVEN THERE FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF NOVEMBER! That's when we got the run-around. Answers like, it's our fault, you have a problem, our meters were installed perfectly, our meters are perfect..you know, the usual bs.
I will be adding posts to this blog when I see the December 2011 bill. If this dramatic increase continues, I will again contact Hydro One and tell them. I will also tell them I will buy a Ted Meter for verification. Then I will go to the media with my results.
No business is perfect and sometimes they do make mistakes. Perhaps the miltiplier effect is the reason.
They have messed with the wrong person.

I notice your title, "Blogger: Hydro One Rip Off " does seem to be spot on with what your website is about but, I prefer to keep my title less content descriptive and based more around site branding. Would you think this is a good idea or bad idea? Any assistance would be greatly valued.ReplyDelete

Carotid endarterectomy had a modest benefit for 50% to 69% stenosis after TIA or nondisabling stroke and no benefit for < 50% stenosis
ACP J Club. 1999 Mar-April;130:33. doi:10.7326/ACPJC-1999-130-2-033

Barnett HJ, Taylor DW, Eliasziw M, et al., for the North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial Collaborators. Benefit of carotid endarterectomy in patients with symptomatic moderate or severe stenosis. N Engl J Med. 1998 Nov 12;339:1415-25.
In patients with symptomatic moderate stenosis (< 70%), does carotid endarterectomy (CE) reduce the risk for stroke?
Randomized controlled trial with 5-year follow-up.
106 clinical centers, mostly in North America.
2267 patients (median age 66 y, 70% men) who had a nondisabling stroke or symptoms of transient ischemic attack (TIA) ipsilateral to an angiographically confirmed carotid stenosis of < 70%. Exclusion criteria were lack of angiographic visualization of the artery, intracranial stenosis that was more clinically important than the cervical lesion, life expectancy < 5 years, cerebral infarction that eliminated useful function in the affected arterial territory, nonatherosclerotic carotid disease, potential cardioembolism, or previous ipsilateral CE.
Surgeons were preselected for low CE perioperative complication rates. 1118 patients were allocated to medical care, and 1108 patients were allocated to surgical care. Complete data were available for 99.7% of patients.
Main outcome measures
Any stroke ipsilateral to the stenosis studied in each patient. Data were analyzed for 50% to 69% and < 50% stenosis, and 8-year data were provided for stenosis 70% to 99%.
Main results
Analysis was by intention to treat. 1.9% of patients in the CE group did not have surgery, and 7.0% of patients in the medical group had CE. Patients with 50% to 69% stenosis who received CE had a reduced rate of ipsilateral stroke (P = 0.045), stroke (P = 0.026), stroke combined with all-cause mortality (P = 0.005), or disabling stroke combined with all-cause mortality (P = 0.032) (Table). For patients with < 50% stenosis, the groups did not differ for any outcome. For patients with 70% to 99% stenosis, 8-year data showed continuing benefit of CE.
Carotid endarterectomy modestly reduced the risk for ipsilateral stroke, any stroke, and all-cause mortality combined with either any stroke or disabling stroke when the initial, symptomatic stenosis was 50% to 69% but not when the stenosis was < 50%.

The results of the NASCET and MRC European Carotid Surgery Trial (1) provide clinicians with excellent evidence on how best to treat patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis. With severe stenosis (i.e., ≥ 70% as defined by angiography [NASCET criteria]), CE provides substantial benefit that endures beyond 5 years. With < 50% stenosis, CE provides no benefit. With 50% to 69% stenosis, CE provides modest benefit in preventing any ipsilateral stroke, although this was about half as much in preventing ipsilateral disabling stroke (RRR 29% vs 61%).
The challenge is how best to apply these findings to particular patients with symptomatic 50% to 69% stenosis. Subgroups with different long-term benefits from surgery were defined by several factors, including the characteristics of the qualifying event, the dose of prophylactic aspirin, and the sex of the patient. For example, as in the MRC study (1), men were more likely to benefit from surgery (NNT 12 at mean follow-up of 6.1 y) than women (NNT 67). The difference may relate to women being less likely to have an ipsilateral stroke and more likely to have complications from angiography and surgery than men. Also, with less skillful surgeons than those who participated in the trial, the modest benefit for patients with 50% to 69% stenosis could be easily eroded or eliminated.
Many issues remain. The degree of stenosis and symptoms may not be enough to identify diseased carotid arteries that carry the greatest risk for subsequent ipsilateral stroke. In this trial, three quarters of patients treated medically did not have a subsequent ipsilateral stroke. Perhaps in the future, characteristics of the stenosis or plaque will allow us to identify subgroups of patients with similar degrees of carotid stenosis who will benefit more from CE. Finally, we need to develop less risky, more effective, and less costly approaches than those that are currently used for stenoses identified as being the most dangerous.

In this research credit risk is defined as the damage on present value of future cash flows due to the probability of not calling in loans, principals of corporate bonds, or payoffs of OTC derivatives contracts, etc. The analyzes are mainly done from mathematical finance aspects, especially in the case with correlation between default structures of firms, while the studies without them have been main streams, not sufficiently capturing the situation of chain reactions of defaults, valuing of debts with collateral or debts with securities.On the other hand, it requires for firms, which holds portfolios consisting of various kinds of assets as increasing the level and the variety of investment technology, not only management of market risk but also management of credit risk, furthermore management of market and credit risk as whole.In this paper, (1) valuation models of credit risk including correlation structures of defaults and (2) the possibility of unifying measures of market risk and credit risk are studied.The following results can be obtained.(l) A structural model based on the Merton model and a reduced model with no-arbitrage conditions based on the Jarrow and Turnbull model, both with defaults correlation structures can be derived.(2) Reduced models based on the Jarrow and Turnbull model and the Jarrow, Lando and Turnbull model can be extended to have correlation structures between defaults processes and interest rate movements. Furthermore, the no-arbitrage conditions for the latter can be obtained.(3) A valuation model of credit risk belonging to the class of the Duffie and Singleton models are proposed, which is appropriate for the total management of market risk and credit risk.(4) Problems and a direction of unifying measures of market risk and credit risk are discussed.

October is the time of year when children of all ages – even many adults – cheerfully anticipate Halloween festivities. What costumes to wear, what treats to give out and what goodies will be collected on neighborhood jaunts are some of the questions on many celebrants minds.
As pediatric dentists, the Lasky Pediatric Group team teaches that children should limit their daily intake of sweets and brush their at least twice a day. Recently, when two of their patients came up with a unique Halloween community service project, the Lasky Pediatric Dental Group was very happy to help them fulfill their mission.
Meet the Katz brothers who are two of Dr. Michael Lasky's patients and elementary students at the Buckley School in Sherman Oaks. This year for Halloween they came up with a community service project to be Halloween fairies. But how? By making a couple hundred goody bags to hand out to children who aren't able to go out trick or treating.
Now, not only are their goody bags filled with candy and treats, the Lasky Pediatric Dental Group has donated 200 tooth brushes and 200 toothpaste tubes, so that the recipients of the goodie bags could enjoy their treats but make sure they were keeping up with proper oral care.
We will be updating you after the boys complete their community service project.

From Bionic Bong;
Just a week before her 115th birthday, the oldest person in the world has died on the southern Japanese island of Okinawa.
Kama Chinen passed away at the age of 114 years and 356 days. Kama Chinen was born on May 10, 1895, living to see three different centuries, according to the Gerontology Research Group. She died on Sunday in a care home, although the details of her death have not been released by her family who have closely guarded her privacy.Okinawa has a reputation for its long-lived residents, put down to the local diet of green tea, miso soup, vegetables, rice and fresh fish. Kama had been the world's oldest person since September 2009, when 115-year-old Gertrude Baines died in Los Angeles. The title of oldest human now passes to 114-year-old Frenchwoman Eugenie Blanchard, who was born in February 1896. Britain's Florence Emily Baldwin from Leeds is now the second oldest person alive – she is also 114.
While she attributes her long life to an egg sandwich every day, experts suspect a life of no drinking, no smoking and hard work has played its part.
Wow, 114 years! Seeing 3 centuries, wow!
