The complete financial data is available for publicly traded companies.
SWOT Analysis
SWOT, which stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, is an analytical framework that identifies the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable for a company.
Enhanced SWOT Analysis
Enhanced SWOT is a 3×3 grid that arranges strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats into one scheme:
- How to use the strengths to take advantage of the opportunities?
- How to use the strengths to reduce likelihood and impact of the threats?
- How to overcome the weaknesses that obstruct taking advantage of the opportunities?
- How to overcome the weaknesses that can make the threats a reality?
Upon answering these questions a company can develop a project plan to improve its business performance.
PESTEL Analysis
PESTEL (also termed as PESTLE) is an ideal tool to strategically analyze what influence different outside factors – political, economic, sociocultural, technological, environmental and legal – exert on a business to later chart its long term targets.
Being part of the external analysis when carrying out a strategic assessment or performing a market study, PESTEL gives an overview of diverse macro-environmental factors that any company should thoughtfully consider. By perceiving these outside environments, businesses can maximally benefit from the opportunities while minimizing the threats to the organization.
Key Factors Examined by PESTEL Analysis:
- Political – What opportunities and pressures are brought by political bodies and what is the degree of public regulations' impact on the business?
- Economic – What economic policies, trends and structures are expected to affect the organization, what is this influence's degree?
- Sociological – What cultural and societal aspects will work upon the demand for the business's products and operations?
- Technological – What impact do the technological aspects, innovations, incentives and barriers have on the organization?
- Environmental – What environmental and ecological facets, both locally and farther afield, are likely to predetermine the business?
- Legal – What laws and legislation will exert influence on the style the business is carried out?
IFE, EFE, IE Matrices
The Internal Factor Evaluation matrix (IFE matrix) is a strategic management tool helping audit or evaluate major weaknesses and strengths in a business's functional areas. In addition, IFE matrix serves as a basis for identifying and assessing relationships amongst those areas. The IFE matrix is utilised in strategy formulation.
The External Factor Evaluation matrix (EFE matrix) is a tool of strategic management that is typically utilised to assess current market conditions. It is an ideal instrument for visualising and prioritising the threats and opportunities a firm is facing.
The essential difference between the above mentioned matrices lies in the type of factors incorporated in the model; whilst the latter is engaged in internal factors, the former deals exceptionally with external factors – those exposed to social, political, economic, legal, etc. external forces.
Being a continuation of the EFE matrix and IFE matrix models, the Internal External matrix (IE matrix) rests upon an investigation of external and internal business factors integrated into one suggestive model.
Porter Five Forces Analysis
The Porter's five forces analysis studies the industry of operation and helps the company find new sources of competitive advantage. The analysis surveys an industry through five major questions:
- What composes a threat of substitute products and services?
- Is there a threat of new competitors entering the market?
- What is the intensity of competitive rivalry?
- How big is the bargaining power of buyers?
- How significant is the bargaining power of suppliers?
VRIO Analysis
VRIO stands for Value, Rarity, Imitability, Organization. This analysis helps to evaluate all company's resources and capabilities and bring them together into one aggregate table that includes:
- Tangible resources
- Financial
- Physical
- Technological
- Organizational
- Intangible resources
- Human
- Innovation and Creativity
- Reputation
- Organizational capabilities
The result of the analysis gives a clear picture of company's competitive and economic implications, answering the questions if the resources mentioned above are:
- Valuable?
- Rare?
- Costly to imitate?
- Organized properly?

New designs and a new post! I am excited to share My Mom's Junk new look with you in my latest post!!! It's been quiet on the blog but behind the scenes, it has been a whirlwind of activity. It seems like if I'm blogging about something, I don't have time to get the project done. For my sanity, that's just not an option anymore. That being said, I'm working around the clock to prepare for my ... Read More about My Mom's Junk New Look!
40 Day Devotional-Day 1
No, you aren't being nosy! When she was diagnosed with her heart problems they did genetic testing. Truly, I do not know how extensive it was they just told me she was fine:-( Obviously this was before knowing about the "Autism Gene." So don't know if she had it. I will look up Williams. Thank you…
Hi again,
I hope you don't mind me asking you about Willow. We are working with a neurologist and a geneticist to see if we can find a diagnosis for Emily. It's not really critical at this point because we will still treat her the same way, etc., but some agencies have said that if she has "their" diagnosis, then funding might be available.
ANYWAY, I don't know all that you have done with Willow. I didn't know she had heart problems at birth until your recent blog entry. I just wonder if you have ever had her tested for Williams Syndrome? Seems like Shones can be part of that. Emily seems to meet a lot of that criteria, but she's never had heart issues. They are also seeing if she has Angelman Syndrome…
Here's a few links if you've never heard of it. Again, tell me to buzz off if I'm being too nosey!!
http://www.achd-library.com/consensus/sec5.html Link mentions Shones/Williams
Williams Syndrome Association
Williams info on FB from wikipedia (probably not the best source)
Take care, and blessings!

How To Price Garage Sale Items
Knowing how to price garage sale items is half the battle when you decide to sell stuff in your yard or garage on a weekend. It's hard work to plan and execute a yard sale but it can pay off if you are logical and reasonable about the prices you charge. Remember that yard sale customers expect to save money and they are fully prepared to walk away if the price is too high or if you are inflexible about how much money you will accept.
You need to discard your emotional attachment to your "things" and realize that the shirt you were wearing the day you rescued a swimsuit model from an angry manatee in Florida is "just a shirt" to a prospective buyer. It may have cost $30 and be priceless to you, but you'll be lucky to get two dollars for it at your yard sale.
Here are some general guidelines for pricing items at a garage sale:
- Books are generally priced at one dollar for hardbound books and fifty cents for paperbacks. Only really elaborate coffee table books are worth two dollars.
- Stuffed animals aren't worth the dynamite it would take to blow them away unless the customer loves stuffed animals. Either way, it is best to price them at a dollar or less or even offer one free stuffed animal with every five dollars worth of other purchases.
- In department stores and boutiques, clothing is universally overpriced but yard sale customers who buy clothing do it because they don't want to pay retail. For that reason, be careful to stay in the one to three dollar range for clothing. The higher price would be appropriate for designer clothing in really good shape, the lower for everything else. As for children's clothing, remember that they wear it for only a year or so and keep the prices under three dollars in nearly all cases.
- Children's toys are best bundled into bags or little boxes and sold in bunches for a dollar or two. Larger units, such as toy ovens or elaborate play sets are not going to sell unless the price is under five dollars. The one exception would be cribs, strollers and other normally expensive units.
- Shoes should be a maximum of three dollars a pair, boots from five to seven dollars depending on wear.
- Electronics can bring in more money but only if they are in good working order. Do not lie about this. If the boom box you're selling has an inoperative CD player, put a label on it notifying the customer and be prepared to sell it for less.
- Also be aware that the age of technology is crucial. For example, a VCR was worth more money when everyone had them. Now that VHS tapes are almost as out of date as eight-track tapes, machines to play them never sell for more than five dollars. (The tapes themselves you'll have to price at fifty cents each or make them free with purchases.) You can go as high as ten dollars for a working DVD player and more for a DVD recorder or digital video recorder.
- Audio gear should be priced in inverse proportion to size; a stereo with big floor-mounted speakers is worth about five dollars; a small brand name stereo unit with tiny high-quality speakers could bring in ten. (Computers should be sold on an online auction site rather than at a yard sale.)
- Furniture and other big-ticket items should be priced at about 25-percent of their actual retail price and you must be prepared to be negotiated down to a level you can accept. Decide on what your lowest acceptable price would be before you face the customer.
You can price higher than that and count on the fact that some people will bargain, but some buyers will walk rather than negotiate.
An hour before you shut down, make everything half price that you really don't want to take back in the house.

Brighton always looks like it's THE place to be. And I've never been!
That changes next month though as I'm heading down to see some performances and events at the
Brighton Fringe Festival.
The festival runs from the 1st May to the 31st, featuring everything from a tour round the back streets of Brighton to lively swing music and dance-offs to performances by award-winning theatre companies and everything in between.
What more could you ask for from a famous seaside town?
There's a whole MONTH'S worth of events on the website to peruse to your heart's content and decide on your itinerary. Not only are there ticketed performances but a whole host of FREE events to choose from, ideal for families, groups of friends or taking your other half for an inexpensive, fun day out.
All fantastic photography from Dade Freeman.
If this sounds like it's your cup of tea - let's be honest, why wouldn't it be - you can even get yourself 2-for-1 tickets and VIP event invites by signing up for a 'Friends of Brighton Fringe' membership. I recommend this highly if, unlike myself, you find yourself visiting Brighton a lot because it also allows you to snap up discounts in hotels and restaurants in the area.
I'll be uploading more posts in relation to this event as it draws nearer, including some of the notable shows to see and more information on how to grab yourself a discount.
Have you been to Brighton Fringe before?

Nagpur: The Bombay High Court has directed
Maharashtra Government to implement a new set of rules related
A Nagpur bench of the HC comprising Justices Bhushan
Dharmadhikari and P D Kode yesterday asked the Government to
circulate the new guidelines, prepared by Indrajit Khandekar,
a forensic medicine expert, to all hospitals and police
stations, and file a compliance report after eight weeks.
The direction was given on a PIL filed on the basis of
a report by Khandekar, Assistant Professor in Department of
Forensic Medicine at Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical
Sciences (MGIMS), Sewagram.
The report is titled `Pitiable & Horrendous Quality of
Forensic Medical Examination of Sexually Assaulted Victims`.
The PIL was filed by Chairperson of Child Welfare Committee
(Nagpur) Ranjana Pardhi and a local lawyer, Vijay Patil.
Khandekar-suggested guidelines, running into seven
pages, are a vast improvement over the Government`s three-page
proforma issued earlier on the HC`s orders related to medical
exam of rape victims and instruction manual in such matters.
The new rules, among others, will have a provision for
forensic medical examination even if the victims report the
matter on their own to hospital without any police report.
The norms will do away with the unscientific and
heavily criticised finger test which was used by the doctors
to opine whether the girl is habituated to sexual intercourse
or not, according to the PIL.
This will definitely plug the loopholes present in
current system and help to avoid miscarriage of justice and
human rights violation, it said. The petitioners had claimed
that rapists often get acquitted for lack of evidence due to
incorrect reports filed by medical officials.

Signs and symptoms of anoxic encephalopathy include confusion, memory loss, weakness, a lack of coordination and seizures, according to NeuLife. Anoxic encephalopathy occurs when the brain is damaged due to a lack of oxygen. The more severe the oxygen deprivation is, the more severe the symptoms are.
Brain cells begin to die when deprived of oxygen for four minutes, maintains Mount Sinai Hospital. Possible causes of anoxic encephalopathy include stroke, heart attack, lung disease, altitude sickness and carbon monoxide poisoning. Anoxic encephalopathy also occurs when breathing stops for a period of time, such as during drowning, choking or suffocation.
Depending on the circumstances of the oxygen deprivation, symptoms may come on suddenly or develop gradually over a period of days or weeks, states Mount Sinai Hospital. Neurologists use MRI scans, CT scans and electroencephalograms to diagnose anoxic encephalopathy. Immediate treatment after oxygen deprivation includes the direct administration of oxygen, medication to improve blood flow and cooling to the brain to decrease the rate of damage.
Long-term treatment for anoxic encephalopathy involves rehabilitation programs to improve functioning, reports Mount Sinai Hospital. Physical therapy targets physical movements. Occupational therapy focuses on improving life skills. Speech therapists work to improve language skills, and psychologists focus on helping with emotional and behavior problems related to the injury.

Sorry to hear about this terrible experience. :-(If you paid that money with a credit card you should be able to contact your credit card provider and dispute the charge. You paid for something you didn't receive, so they should clear it up for you. I did that last November with something I ordered online (not related to Kodak) and never received. Customer support wouldn't even answer my e-mails. Be sure to do it quickly as these things usually work better the sooner they're taken care of.I'd also suggest get back on the phone with Kodak and tell them that they're going to have to make and exception and give you a refund if they don't give you what you paid for. The thing about Indians in phone support is that they're really good at following directions/scripts, so maybe they're required to tell you these things to try to get you to give up on it even though they really can get you a refund. I wouldn't put much past Kodak these days.-Deozaan (September 07, 2008, 01:30 AM)

World powers announced Sunday a timeline for implementing an Iran nuclear deal that would ease economic sanctions on the Islamic Republic in exchange for its moves to limit uranium enrichment. The Iran nuclear deal gives the energy-rich country sanctions relief valued as much as $7 billion over the course of six months.
Oil prices slipped Monday with investors optimistic about new access to Iran's substantial oil and gas wealth. The Iran nuclear deal is progress toward bringing Iran oil online, but the relief set to take effect Jan. 20 is limited. The next six months will be less about opening up Iran's oil markets than it is about stopping efforts to close them.
"This is the first step in many ... a fuller return of Iranian oil is months, if not years, away," Andrew Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates in Houston, says in a telephone interview. "It's not like the taps are going to be open, by any stretch of the imagination."
Under the agreement, the US will pause efforts to put sanctions on Iran's petrochemical exports, according to the State Department, and allow the six countries who currently purchase crude oil from Iran to continue doing so.
Those countries, which include India, China, and South Korea do not need to reduce their import levels, as had previously been the case, but they cannot increase them. A violation of the deal's terms would cancel the agreement.
"The core architecture of the US and international sanctions remains in place," a senior administration official said during a conference call hosted by the State Department Monday, "and we will – as we have – continue to vigorously enforce those sanctions as well as sanctions that relate to Iran's support for international terrorism and its gross human rights abuses[.]"
The State Department projects Iran's oil exports will remain at about a million barrels per day. That's down 60 percent from the 2.5 million barrels a day Iran exported at the beginning of 2012, before the US initiated a push to slow sales of Iranian oil.
Iran holds the world's fourth-largest proven oil reserves and the world's second-largest natural gas reserves, according to the US Energy Information Administration. International sanctions have stymied the foreign investment Iran needs to develop its 154 billion barrels of proven oil reserves and its massive offshore natural gas fields in the Persian Gulf.
The agreement hasn't stopped 59 US senators from signing onto the bipartisan Nuclear Weapons Free Iran Act, which would impose stricter sanctions on Iranian energy. It needs 60 votes to pass, and President Obama has said he would veto the bill.
"Now is the time to give diplomacy a chance to succeed," Mr. Obama said in a written statement Sunday. "Imposing additional sanctions now will only risk derailing our efforts to resolve this issue peacefully[.]"
News of a Iran nuclear deal sent US crude oil down 89 cents Monday morning to $91.83, nearly two weeks after opening the year at $98.50. Average US gas prices were steady at $3.31 Monday, down half a cent from a week ago.
If tensions continue to ease, industry watchers expect additional sanctions to be lifted. A significant increase in Iranian oil exports would ripple across a global energy market that has already been flipped on its head by a North American oil and gas boom.
"The return of Iranian oil and the return of Libyan oil – If those were to happen in the near term, there would be pressure on [the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries], or the remaining members, to accommodate the return in production," Mr. Lipow says.

I am in a little tight spot.
It seems I started jubilating too early over something.
Remember a couple of months ago I stated that I was going to start a millinery course in september at Kesington College? Well it turns out I had spoken too soon. For I received an email stating I was to come for an interview, with samples of hats I have made, on the 8th of September. hmm!!!
Now, I have not made many hats, and the ones I have made might not get me unto the course. So I have to make more. I had planned on starting my autumn sewing as soon as I got back on saturday, but I´m afraid this will have to be pushed back until I am sure I have made about 3 or 4 hats. Oh boy!!
I don´t even know where to start. Does anyone know anyone who has done this course before, or something similar, and who had to present samples of their work?
For the hats, I am thinking since Autumn and Winter are around the corner, I could start with hats relevant to those seasons. So :
- Cloche
- Beret
- Newspaper Boy
Cloche Hats
Can anyone remember Angelina Jolie in Changeling???
Newspaper Boy!!
|Curtesy of Stained Couture
I love cloche hats, so I think that is a good place to start. The Weekend Designer has a lovely tutorial to make this Banana Republic cloche hat.
I also have two millinery books which I think will help me with the beret and the newspaper boy cap.
|Hats!! by Sarah Cant
|Design and Make Fashion Hats by Karen Henriksen
These are a couple of Karen Henriksen´s hats which gives me an idea of the type of newspaper boy hat to make.
|Curtesy of Chicago Sartorialist
and I just love this piece by Sarah Cant
So all in all, I have my work cut out I think. It does not help that next weekend I have to go to Germany (Dusseldorf actually) to see my step-mom who is visitng my cousin. My step-mom is visitng from Cameroon, and this is an opportunity for me to see her as I am not sure I will be going home this christmas.
I wonder what colours I could make the hats in. What do you recommend?
Have a nice day everyone.

Discussion in 'Humor' started by CSM, Feb 17, 2005.
I got a good laugh out of this:
:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
That WAS an excerpt from that comic Reno cop show - wasn't it? Or at least some kind of comedy skit?
And isn't it weird that I even have to ask a question like that?
yep Reno 911 a really wierd comedy cop show
Sad thing is...
I know people like this.
Don't make me roll initiative. I've got a +5 keen bastard sword of butt-kicking and I'm not afraid to use it.
I play role playing games with my sister when she visits me or vice versa, it can be a great time if you dont go insane like the people from this skit. Sad to say but almost all of the books are printed with a "this is a game, if you are unable to distinguish the game world from the real world then put this book down back away slowly and seek professional help" clause at the very front.
D&D can be hilarious if you have a good guy running the game. For instance last time I played the game I created a hobbit by the name of Hobo Baggins. Just remember IT IS A GAME!!!
if i cant play it on the xbox or my computers then i dont play it
Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, and Knights of the Old Republic are all based on these games.
balders gate wasnt that bad. havent played the others
still laughing five minutes later
boots of escape :teeth:

There seems to be a positive side to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) reforms going by applause from some experts.
The experts said the reforms have sparked interest in money market instruments.
The reforms, they said, had not only brought about safer, healthier and a more conducive investment climate, but have buoyed confidence in the industry.
They said firms that could not wait for the recovery of the capital market are looking at money market instruments for growth. They do this by approaching banks for Bankers Acceptance (BAs), Commercial Papers (CP) and fixed deposits, among others.
The Chief Executive Officer, CDL Assets Management Limited, Mr Bade Adeshina, described fixed-income securities, equities, estate and money market instruments as investment options prominent in the consideration of many firms.
hE said his firm has invested Union Trustees Mixed Fund in four portfolios for growth.
Union Trustees Mixed Fund is a varied fund pooled by investors to aggregate the potential in the financial markets.
He said the fund has invested in money market instruments because of its safer and good yields.
"As at April 30, 2012, 61 per cent of the fund was invested in money market instruments, 23 per cent in quoted equities, 15 per cent in the fixed income securities and one per cent, in the Real Estate Securities. These investment allocations were in accordance with the Trust Deed of the Fund."
He said investments in money market instruments, such as deposits and bankers'acceptance rose from N1.032 billion in 2011 to N1.188 billion last year.
The Chairman, Anchoria Investment and Securities Limited, Dr Olusola Dada, said people were looking for more beneficial investment windows as the stock market recovers. He said the only appealing windows for investors is the money market, adding that the development ensures that people keep their money in banks at fixed interests, no matter how small they may be.
"Though investors are investing in fixed-income securities, such as Bonds and Treasury Bills, investment in money market instruments is on-going, because people are looking for channels to make money in the short and medium term basis," he said.
The Chief Executive officer, TFS Finance Limited, Eddie Osaronkhoe, said short-term borrowers rely on commercial papers issued by banks to survive, adding that they get better yields once the banks are doing well.
"Once there is an increase in the values of such financial instruments, it implies that the values of investments of banks are growing up. This will have positive effects on the credit flow to the economy. If the trend continues, economic activities will improve," he said.
"Bankers acceptance and commercial papers are used to execute various business ideas or plans. Anytime the financial instruments experience an increase in values, the banks capacity to record a reasonable profit margin improves as well," he added.
A former President, Association of National Accountants of Nigeria (ANAN), Dr Francis Ndukwe, said the issue is showing the increased capacity of banks to lend to the economy, adding that banks are improving on their lending , as their bad debts have been acquired by the Assets Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON).
Ndukwe said the development is going to have spiral effects on the products and services offered by the banks. He said considerable economic benefits can be derived when the values of Bankers Acceptance, among other instruments, appreciate.
