<b>Management philosophy</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<i><div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>The reason we work for</i></div>
</i><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<b><div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Why do we work?</b></div>
</b><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The person who works with the motive to get something often thinks that he or she isn't getting anything in return, in spite of working so hard. However, the reason behind this is, just because one thinks that he or she is giving something to the customer or society does not necessarily mean that the customer / society think that they are being given something.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In other words, the real reason why one cannot get anything is because one is not giving anything.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are, by instinct, self-centered. We tend to put the blame for our failure to get anything on others - for instance, our senior's evaluations, our manager's carelessness, and so on. We should realize early that we cannot take more than what we give. If we realize this, then we will be able to understand the importance of giving again and again, relentlessly, to the society. If we keep giving, money, knowledge, experience, and everything we dream of will come abundantly later on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the basis of this principle, we at <a href="http://www.sociopost.com/node/972376">Tokyo Consulting Group</a> are committed to contribute to the society through our customers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What is Success?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The general image we tend to have of a successful individual is that of a very wealthy person, with a highly prestigious social status.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then, we might also think that it is not necessary to succeed by working so hard, and that if there exists an easy path to success, it is better to follow that. We can see only what the successful person possesses. However, it is important to be aware of why this person has so much. A successful person is one who keeps giving something valuable to the society.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To whom should we give value? (Who is the client?)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What are the values that we should give? (What are the products and services?)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How should we give? (The specific strategy)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If we think over the above 3 points and start giving to the society through our customers, we can all become successful individuals from that point. However, if one strongly wants to succeed, then one soon becomes self-centered and starts to think only about the products and services that must be sold. By doing so, one fails to understand the real needs of customers. As a result, such individual eventually becomes a failure who merely thinks of acquiring material possessions for him or herself only. Hence, such an individual may never become a successful person in the society.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Gratitude</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If we are aware that we are successful, then we feel very happy. Happiness means a "sustained peace of mind". No matter how much wealth we get, if we are influenced by personal interest, then we cannot maintain our peace of mind, and so we will not be able to sustain our happiness for long.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If we can sustain our happiness, the feeling of gratitude will naturally come about. We will naturally be able to thank the fact that we are living and are being let to live. It is but natural to firstly thank our parents who gave birth to us. We are devoted to our parents from our heart. Only then, we are able to feel thankful for living in this society. This kind of gratitude makes us clearly aware of our "mission".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By becoming aware of the social mission given to us and the reason we live and work for, we will further be able to keep contributing to the society. On the base of such values, we at Tokyo Consulting Group, all sharing the same vision, continue to contribute to the society.</div>

<b><div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>By Mat Batts the Dispatch</b></div>
</b><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Home Instead Senior Care launched a nationwide campaign Friday aimed at better preparing seniors for internet scams and financial fraud attempts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The effort, a partnership with the National Cyber Security Alliance, includes online resources as well as in-person seminars that provide detailed explanations of what online scams are and how senior citizens can stay protected.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The new program comes at a particularly relevant time locally, Home Instead Community Engagement Coordinator Shannon Holland said, as Davidson County residents continue to question how the sensitive information of more than 3,200 Davidson County Schools employees was breached through a phishing scam last month.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Holland said Lexington’s Home Instead office is offering the cybersecurity seminar to any community groups interested in learning more about the threats senior citizens could face.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to a press release accompanying the fraud prevention rollout, Home Instead said senior citizens are often targeted by scammers because of a perceived accumulated wealth, and the idea that seniors might be less likely to report the crime.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“For seniors, this is a time in their lives when they should be able to trust that their life’s earning are protected,” Shanna Howard, owner of the local Home Instead office serving Davidson and Davie counties, said in the release. “Unfortunately, we know there are people who violate this trust.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“That’s why we are committed to helping seniors understand the ways they are at <a href="https://anotepad.com/notes/8f4454">risk online</a> and how to protect their information to reduce their chances of being scammed.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Home Instead reported that nearly 97 percent of seniors age 70 and older are using the internet at least once a week to check email, manage money and keep in touch via social media. Of those who use the internet, according to a Home Instead survey, 67 percent have been the victim or target of at least one common online scam or hack. More than 38 percent, the survey said, report that someone has tried to scam them online, and 28 percent of surveyed seniors have mistakenly downloaded a computer virus.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to a survey conducted by Home Instead on the cybersecurity risks senior citizens face, approximately one in five seniors operates a computer without any anti-virus software. Sixty-eight percent of the seniors surveyed report using a single password to protect their accounts across multiple websites.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tax season also presents additional challenges for seniors who risk inadvertently revealing personal tax information or falling victim to a scam by someone posing as the IRS. While most seniors reported doing their taxes offline in the Home Instead survey, more 20 percent of seniors did report filing their taxes online and said they felt safe doing so.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Included in both the online and hard-copy information provided through the Home Instead program are tips on how to spot scams related to the IRS and who to contact in the event of an attempted scam.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Cybersecurity is about risk reduction,” Michael Kaiser, executive director of the National Cyber Security Alliance, said in the release. “It’s difficult to achieve perfect security. But you can help older adults work to make themselves a more difficult target.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Home Instead recommends that seniors create strong passwords and vary them from website to website, to avoid the risk of a large-scale breach in the event that a password is recovered by a scammer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Additional tips also include monitoring a senior’s privacy settings on social media to ensure that information is shared only with close friends and family. Seniors who receive an inquiry online about taxes or a bank account should contact the company directly by phone to determine if the inquiry is legitimate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An online quiz provided through protectseniorsonline.com walks seniors through 10 specific scenarios related to internet use, asking if they detect any red flags. Based on their answers, the quiz breaks down each risk with suggested courses of actions should a senior citizen come across a similar situation in real life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyone interested in hosting a Home Instead internet security education seminar can contact Lexington’s Home Instead office at (336) 249-1011.</div>

Every business that uses a
computer, email, software and the internet on a daily basis should establish
computer security to protect their business on threats from cybercriminals. In
most cases, small business are an appealing target for cybercriminals due to
their lack of resources in establishing a strong security for their website,
accounts and networks systems, thus, making cyberattacks a relatively easy job.
Remember, a single successful <b><a href="http://www.onlineinfoblog.com/">cyberattack</a></b>
can seriously damage your business. Here are some and simple practices you
should implement to strengthen the internet security of your small business:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span></span><!--[endif]-->Create and implement basic security practices
and policies for all your employees to abide and educate them on cyberattacks
and the impact it may bring to the business. This will ensure that your staff
has appropriate awareness training, so that everyone understands their role in
keeping the business secure.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]-->Frequently back up important data. For added
security, encrypt it. Store your backup copies either offsite or in the cloud.
Computers and electronic devices must be physically locked and secured to
prevent unauthorized access.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]-->You must require a strong unique password on all
your computers to make sure that only authorized individuals have access to the
data. Consider creating a password expiration policy or implement a
multi-factor authentication that requires additional details aside from a
password to gain entry from the system.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]-->Make yourself updated on latest schemes that
cybercriminals do to victimize a business. Learning the newest threats on your
business will help you in establishing a plan to protect your business even
more. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]-->Make it a habit of shredding documents and
receipts that contain sensitive information such as personal and financial
details if it is no longer needed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]-->One of the basic precautions to protect your
company’s data is to make sure that all computers have antivirus and
antispyware software installed and up-to-date. Make use of firewalls and spam
filters too for added security.<o:p></o:p></div>

top-secret email that Scoular was in talks to acquire a Chinese company. The
chief executive instructed him to liaise with a lawyer at KPMG who would
provide the wiring instructions to an account in China.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“We need the company to be funded
properly and to show sufficient strength toward the Chinese. Keith, I will not
forget your professionalism in this deal, and I will show you my appreciation
very shortly,” Mr Elsea wrote in an email in June 2014. Over three
transactions, Mr McMurtry transferred the $17.2m to an account in the name of
Dadi Co at Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, according to an affidavit signed
by an agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and filed in a Nebraska
court.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The email was a fraud. Criminals
impersonated Mr Elsea by creating a phoney email account in his name. They also
set up fake email and phone numbers in the name of a real KPMG partner, who
later said he had never heard of Scoular. US authorities have traced the emails
and phone number to Germany, France, Israel and Russia.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Forbes’ list of the US’s largest private companies with revenues of $5.9bn, is
one of several thousand companies that have fallen victim to a new type of

worldwide have been targeted by the scams, also known as CEO email schemes,
between October 2013 and this month. The transactions have netted criminals
$2bn, according to the Internet Crime Complaint Center, an intelligence and
investigative group within the FBI that tracks computer crimes. Companies large
and small, across 108 countries, have been hit and the threat is growing, law
enforcement officials say.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The criminals are “becoming more
brash”, he says, by introducing third parties, such as law firms and consultants,
to carry out the fraud. They have also become more sophisticated about how they
troll potential victims.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“They’re using social media a lot
against us. They might send a spam email intentionally to see that the
executive is out of the office, [making] it prime time to target. They might
look on Facebook and see that [the chief executive is] travelling to Europe or
Australia so they know you’re in the air for a certain amount of time” and have
a window to strike, Mr Thompson says.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Tricking people using the
internet to steal money is hardly new. There have been criminal groups taking
advantage of users of dating websites and fundraisers for disasters or
terrorist attacks. A decade ago authorities were flooded with complaints of
bogus Nigerian email scams and false lottery winners.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Criminals use a variety of
tactics. Sometimes they gain access to executives’ emails by hacking into the
accounts using phishing emails. The accounts of chief executives can also be
spoofed by changing a letter or replacing a company’s official email service
with a Gmail account. The phoney account created to mimic the KPMG lawyer used
the suffix @kpmg-office.com, a fake address convincing enough to trick someone
who is not checking carefully.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The criminals usually impersonate
the executive and order the transfer, often through a second account they
secretly control, such as the one said to belong to the KPMG lawyer. The money
is sent to accounts in Asia or Africa, where it is harder for authorities to
recover. By the time the company realises it has been duped, authorities say,
the money has long gone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Mr McMurtry told the FBI that he
was not suspicious of the transfers since Scoular was discussing an expansion
in China and he had been working on an annual audit with KPMG, according to the
FBI affidavit. Mr McMurtry, who is no longer with Scoular, did not respond to
requests for comment. Scoular also declined to speak.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The scam began simply enough. Mr
McMurtry received an email purporting to be from Mr Elsea. “I have assigned you
to manage file FT-809,” the bogus email said. “This is a strictly confidential
operation, which takes priority over other tasks. Have you already been
contacted by Rodney Lawrence [the KPMG lawyer]?” It went on: “This is very
sensitive, so please only communicate with me through this email, in order for
us not to infringe SEC regulations.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The following day “Mr Elsea” sent
another email stating that the transfer was urgent and he should “proceed asap
with the wire to the same beneficiary and bank account as yesterday”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">FBI agents traced the phoney
email account in Mr Elsea’s name to Germany. The KPMG email name was linked to
a server in Moscow. The phone number provided was traced to a Skype account
registered in Israel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Scoular’s lawyers told the FBI
that Wells Fargo said Dadi — the name on the account in Shanghai where Mr
McMurtry sent the money — manufactured army boots. Dadi claimed to the bank
that the wire transfers were part of a sales contract for the manufacture of
boots, according to the FBI affidavit. Scoular said it did not purchase boots.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Mr Lawrence, the KPMG lawyer
whose identity was used in the email scheme, is the global leader of KPMG’s
international tax services. When interviewed by the FBI he told them he was not
familiar with Scoular and had not spoken with anyone at the company, according
to the affidavit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The FBI obtained a court order to
seize the funds held at Shanghai Pudong Development Bank but was told that the
account had been closed and the funds transferred.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Business email compromise crimes
are “a huge” problem, says Austin Berglas, head of cyber investigations at K2
Intelligence and a former chief of the FBI’s cyber branch in New York.
Executives are so reliant on email they do not pick up the phone to confirm the
transaction and “there is no second check,” he adds.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Some of the email scams are

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The FBI and US Justice Department
have several investigations under way. Over the past 12 months the FBI has put
more intelligence analysts on the case and have liaised with law enforcement
agencies worldwide. “We will open cases this year and we will make arrests this
year,” says James Barnacle, chief of the FBI’s money laundering unit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Glen Wurm, director of accounting
at AFGlobal Corp, which makes products for the aerospace, oil and gas
industries, received an email in May 2014 similar to that sent to Scoular.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Purportedly from Gean Stalcup,
the company’s chief executive, it said: “Glen, I have assigned you to manage
file T521. This is a strictly confidential financial operation which takes
priority over other tasks. Have you already been contacted by Steven Shapiro
[attorney KPMG]?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Mr Wurm was told not to speak to
anyone and was directed to wire $480,000 to an account at the “Agriculture Bank
of China”, according to legal documents. The hacker mimicked the tone Mr
Stalcup used with Mr Wurm, according to a lawsuit that AFGlobal filed against
its insurer Federal Insurance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Six days later, Mr Shapiro
contacted Mr Wurm confirming he had received the transfer, adding that he
needed another $18m, according to a lawsuit. At this point Mr Wurm became
suspicious and said he could not send so much money without alerting senior
executives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It was too late: the bank account
had been emptied. AFGlobal is suing Federal Insurance and Chubb, its parent
company, seeking more than $1m for allegedly breaching its contract by not
covering the claim. Chubb has declined to comment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Mr Thompson has declined to
discuss either scheme but says criminal groups copy successful tactics. While
some schemes have been as large as $90m, the average loss is $120,000.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“The ones you don’t hear about
are the smaller corporations that send $50,000. They’re saying, ‘I’m not going
to make payroll, we’re going to close our doors’ as a result of the fraud,” Mr
Thompson says.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">There is little that companies
can do to recover the funds. Banks are not required by law to reimburse a
company that makes a transfer. Cyber insurance policies might not cover a fraud
against a company if its network has not been hacked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“The bank will look at the
totality of what the company has done to protect itself and whether or not
they’re adhering to the agreement that the company has signed associated with
the initiation of any of these wires,” says Doug Johnson, senior vice-president
of overseas payments and cyber security at the American Bankers Association.
One good practice is requiring the approval of two people, he says.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">That practice is not fail-safe,
however.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Like AFGlobal, Medidata
Solutions, a clinical technology company, fell victim to email fraud in
September 2014.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">An employee in accounts received
an email from an executive requesting a money transfer, according to a lawsuit
filed in a federal New York court against Federal Insurance. The email included
an image of the executive’s face and his signature.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Like the other alleged scams, the
email included the name of a lawyer, who would act as a liaison for the
employee. The employee told the lawyer that he needed the approval of two
others before a $4.7m transfer could be made.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The fraudsters had a solution,
though. Later that day, two employees with authority to sign off on the
transfer were emailed instructions, purporting to be from the chief executive
of Medidata, telling them to approve the wire to a bank account in China.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The transfer went through. Two
days later, an email from the lawyer told the same employees to initiate a
second transfer of $4.8m. One of the employees had grown nervous and called the
executive direct — stopping the fraud and saving millions for the company.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

officials say companies need to be more vigilant to guard against a crime that

becomes all the more important for you to pick up health insurance today.<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , "sans-serif";">The
role of management accounting in decision-making is crucial. As a business
owner, you are expected to face a lot of decisions every day, thus you need to
improve your decision-making. You can do this by understanding the great
importance of managerial accounting information, which provides data-driven
input to those decisions. Businesses could be more successful if small business
managers use this powerful tool and learn how management accounting can benefit
common business decision contexts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , "sans-serif";"><a href="https://trello.com/c/e4iwY0Xh/26-pro-axia-consultants-business-consulting-group-in-osaka-tokyo-nagoya-japan-global-operation-dmp">Management
accounting</a> can pave the way to relevant cost analysis. It entails the
managerial accounting information used by the company management to determine
what should be sold and how to sell them. One example is when an owner is
uncertain on where to put his/her marketing efforts. Relevant cost analysis is
a process that involves evaluating this decision through the accounting
manager's assessment of the costs which
differ between advertising alternatives for each product. This technique is
taught in basic managerial accounting courses. Through the same process, adding
product lines or discontinuing operations can also be determined.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , "sans-serif";">Management
accounting can also conclude activity-based costing techniques. The next step
after finding what products to sell is deciding to whom to sell the products by
determining which customer are more or less profitable. Such techniques can
also help small business management to assess the required activities in
producing and servicing a product line.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , "sans-serif";">Make
or buy analysis is achievable with management accounting. It allows you as the
owner to decide whether to make or buy a component needed to manufacture your
products. This analysis should only be considered as a factor in making your
decision because there are possible non-financial metrics that were not part of
the analysis that could be considered significant.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , "sans-serif";">Management
accounting can also bring forth data utilization. Managerial accounting
information can help you acquire a data-driven look at how to develop a small business. Information on budgeting, financial statement projections
and balance scorecards can help management guide the future of the business.
Depending on the smart analysis of the company data, managers can aim for
constant improvement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<a href="http://i.imgur.com/V9Jmkw7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i.imgur.com/V9Jmkw7.jpg" height="424" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">There’s
an apocryphal story that has been bandied about for years, about an interview
where the interviewer asked a candidate: “Do something to surprise me”. The
interviewee got out his lighter and set fire to the interviewer’s newspaper.
It’s not an action we would advise emulating, but very definitely comes under
the heading of utterly incomprehensible interview questions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<b><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Why do these questions
get asked?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">"Why
do these questions get asked" is a tricky question to answer, but as it
appears to have started in Silicon Valley during the tech boom its roots are
likely to be found in the free-thinking, mould-breaking philosophy that many of
the tech pioneers applied to their businesses. Ultimately for some interviewer
it’s about unearthing someone who offers more than just “can you do the job”.
Wall Street soon followed suit and the practice has become more commonplace.
The question for most of us is not why are they asked but how do I answer them?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">First
and foremost you should remember there isn’t a right answer, depending on the
nature of the question, which these questions are about your thought processes,
your coolness under pressure, your personality and your approach to problem
solving. What you don’t do is say, “I don’t know”, or “that’s a good question”
and stare off into space. Let’s take the question: “How many cricket bats are
there in the world?” You could either pluck an answer out of thin air: “Three
million?”, or go about figuring out how to work it out. “Well, if the
population of the sporting public in the UK is X, and a tenth of them play
cricket, then that’s XX for the UK, plus another X for the cricketing
population in India…” etc. This is the sort of approach the employer would be
looking for.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<b><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Five types of questions
you might encounter<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">1.
Lots of these questions fall along the lines of if you were a colour/an
animal/a garden gnome/a car/a food/a computer application (yes, really) what
one would you be and why? Try to think of the qualities of the object and how
they might relate to your skills or character.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">2.
What are all the different uses you can think of for a lemon? Apparently asked
during an interview for an airline pilot, this type of question is designed to
find out how much of a creative thinker you are.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">3.
Who would you invite to a dinner party/what superhero/movie character would you
be/who is your role model? In other words, what character traits do you most
admire in other people and why? Think about what specific things they have
achieved and what it is about those achievements that you admire so much.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">4.
How many people will be on Facebook in New York on a Friday afternoon? There
are a raft of questions that are much more technical in nature and much more
aligned to the role you are seeking. This question was aimed at a marketing
executive, and was probing how well they understand the use of social media
around the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">5.
Tell me a story. This is a firm favourite, and represents a golden opportunity
for you to tell a work-related anecdote that is also relevant to the role in
question and also illustrates how you see other people and the world around
you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<b><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Preparation,

However, these
questions are not something that you can easily prepare for. If your job is a
technical one, brush up on your technical knowledge. If it’s a creative role,
keep a clear head and try to analyse how you would approach some of these types
of questions. Above all, expect the unexpected!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<img alt="Mossack Fonseca on Panama Seeks to Develop its Own Version of FATCA" height="240" itemprop="image" src="http://cdn.patch.com/users/22102589/2016/03/T800x600/20160356d6877fe20d0.jpg" width="320" /></div>
<br />Panama has asked the Group of 20 States (G20) to acknowledge its right to develop its own model for the automatic exchange of information―without involving adverse actions―based on the sovereign right of each country to adopt a position relative to its unique situation―even if such position is not the same as that of the majority of the jurisdictions.<br /><br />The request made by Panama to the G20 occurred prior to the scheduled meeting of the finance ministers of the G20 to be held February 26-27 in Shanghai. The deputy vice minister of foreign affairs, Farah Diva Urrutia, met with the ambassadors of the G20 countries who are stationed in Panama.<br /><br />According the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Panama is proposing to develop its own, unique model of information exchange. This model will be based on the condition of reciprocity, protection of the basic guarantees for users of the Panamanian platform of services, mutually beneficial tax agreements, and the existence of a legal framework protecting confidentiality and assuring that the information is used in a proper manner―similar to the <a href="http://www.socialbookmarkssite.com/bookmark/1661343/mossack-fonseca-on-panama-seeks-to-develop-its-own-version-of-fatca/">FATCA program</a> instituted by the United States.<br /><br />International organizations such as the G20 and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) have put pressure on Panama to sign a multilateral exchange of information agreement. To date, over 90 countries have committed to exchanging information with each other, but, at the same time, several have not agreed to multilateral, unrestricted exchanges.<br /><br />Panama’s position on the exchange of information was set forth by Juan Carlos Varela, the President of Panama, at the UN General Assembly last year. President Varela stated that Panama is committed to the exchange of information by means of bilateral (not multilateral) exchanges (with certain conditions), and he reserved its right to choose with whom to negotiate such agreements.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17614023487798002025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1231970866493277580.post-69268223319394987302016-02-04T17:49:00.003-08:002016-02-04T17:49:24.344-08:00Two decades of prime orthopedic surgical care - Howard Marans MD<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
For many years now, people in
Southern California trust and respect <a href="http://occupywallst.org/forum/two-decades-of-prime-orthopedic-surgical-care-howa/">Dr. Howard Marans</a>’ specialty, along with
his incredible effort in providing quality orthopedic surgical care. He’s one
of the most distinguished orthopedic surgeons in Orange County, and his team
delivers expert medical care in a warm setting in the heart of Southern
California.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
Surprisingly, Sarah Hammer, a
2012 Olympic silver medalist, has been his patient. Along with Sarah, a lot of
patients have made Howard their personal physician because of his safe and
prompt care. He often treats conditions of the upper and lower extremities.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
With his help, patients can
return to their daily activities as soon as safely possible. He can discuss
with the patients the nature of their injury, and impart methods on how to
prevent it from happening again.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
Howard also offers pain
management to his patients. As we all know, pain is an unpleasant feeling or
discomfort caused by injury, illness or emotional disorder. Diseases and
inflammations are some of the causes of severe pain.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
He’s a man of dedication. He
always makes sure that he’s giving his best in giving a precise diagnosis, a
comprehensive explanation of treatment options and expectations, and proper
execution of the chosen treatment whether non-surgical or surgical. With this,
it’s apparent that he has a busy practice for more than 20 years. His
commitment to the field is beyond compare.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
Howard Marans MD provides
prompt care utilizing established orthopedic treatments and innovative surgical
and arthroscopic procedures. You can be sure that you’ll get back to your
softball league or return to play on your school team with the help of his
expertise.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Importance of Orthopedic Surgeons<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
Most people suffer from
various problems on their musculoskeletal system every year, which were rooted
from an injury or a disease. This then results to a slow down and restriction
of movements.<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
Therapy and non-invasive
treatments can be done on individuals with minor disease or injury since these
methods are more than enough to treat the problem of the musculoskeletal
system.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
In order to repair the problem
of people suffering from an acute injury or fighting a serious disease, a
surgery is needed. Orthopedic surgeons are responsible for manipulating the
musculoskeletal system in the human body and repairing the injuries, as well as
fighting the diseases that attack it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
The musculoskeletal system is
composed of bones, muscles, ligaments, and other connective tissues that allow
the body to move. Orthopedic surgeons dedicate their time treating this
particular system of the body. Sports injuries, degenerative disease, and
congenital diseases are mostly the culprits in attacking the musculoskeletal
system. As mentioned earlier, these could make an individual suffer a loss of
range of motion or experience limited mobility.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
There’s a battlefield waiting
for you if you’re an aspiring orthopedic surgeon. You’re advised to be
completely prepared in order to conquer this endeavor. You must not give up
despite the unimaginable difficulties because it’ll be all worth it in the end,
once you’re rewarded with a degree and licensure for practicing in this highly
competitive field of medicine.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
The standard education system
for an orthopedic surgeon includes four years of undergraduate study
culminating in a bachelor’s degree, usually in biology, chemistry, or another
field of science; four years of medical school training that includes two years
of pre-clinical courses and an internship; and residency training.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
Orthopedics has one of the
longest residency training programs among other medical fields due to its
intricate nature. Just imagine what <a href="http://qna.mortgagenewsdaily.com/questions/who-is-dr-howard-marans">Dr.
Howard Marans</a> and other orthopedic surgeons have been through. Orthopedic
surgeons have to take five years residency program with one year of general
surgery training followed by four years of training in orthopedic surgery. More
than 600 students complete residency training programs every year in the United
States.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
Some orthopedic surgeons
continue their training in a sub-specialty within orthopedic surgery, which
includes foot and ankle surgery, hand surgery, musculoskeletal oncology,
orthopedic trauma, pediatric orthopedics, shoulder and elbow surgery, spine
surgery, surgical sports medicine, and total joint reconstruction (arthroplasty).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
Orthopedic surgeons can
specialize in various sub-specialties, but first, <a href="https://www.quora.com/topic/Dr-Howard-Marans">Howard Marans MD</a> wants
you to remember two important things:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
1. Sub-specialties normally
require additional training in a fellowship program, which<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
lasts 1-2 years (depending on
the research requirements) after the completion of a residency.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
2. An individual who
specializes in one of those sub-specialties isn’t always considered an
orthopedic surgeon. For example, neurologists specialize in spine surgery, but
they’re not orthopedic surgeons.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
Howard agrees that orthopedic
surgeons are, indeed, true warriors. The path to becoming an orthopedic surgeon
has a lot of obstacles and hardships, and without serious dedication and strong
will, an individual might fail to succeed in this field of medicine.
Orthopedics has a long and difficult educational program, but for those who
survived this battle will find themselves in a well-paid, highly competitive
field with a first-class group of peers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
There are more than 20,000
practicing orthopedic surgeons and residents, according to the U.S. Department
of Labor, and they represent only 3-4% of all practicing physicians. There are
several factors that contribute to the salary of an orthopedic surgeon, it
includes the location of his workplace, years of experience, and the size of
the business, which are often similar to any career field. Each year, an
orthopedic surgeon in the U.S. could earn around $440,979, which is considered
as the median salary.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/dr-howard-marans">Howard Marans MD</a>
specializes in arthroscopic surgery, open reduction and internal fixation of
fractures, sports medicine, and the treatment of arthritis. His team can take
good care of you if you have any problems with your shoulder, knee, hand,
wrist, elbow, or ankle. He serves more than 20 cities in the entire Southern
California and Fountain Valley.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
A lot of people in the region
choose Howard as their personal surgeon because they strongly believe that he’s
the most capable physician to perform a surgery on the injured part of their
body. He’s also working very hard every day to give his patients a quality
orthopedic surgical care, so all the recognitions he’s receiving right now is a
strong testament that he’s doing an excellent job in orthopedics.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">You
are a leader, even if not officially. People follow your example, learn from
you, want to know your opinions and so on. Constantly improving your leadership
skills is essential to your success.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Most
people have the wrong idea about leadership. For example, car salesman Jim was
promoted to the Sales Manager position. During his first week as manager, he
decided to show everyone who was boss.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Jim
cracked the whip. He held a meeting and told the other sales people, “I want 10
cars sold today or someone will get fired!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The
sales people ran around looking busy and avoiding Jim. Everyone tried to force
customers to buy cars, but car sales dropped.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Jim
yelled even louder. “You can’t sell cars by pressuring customers, you idiots!
Now get out there and sell these stupid cars!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">After
a month of this, his two best sales people quit. Sales dropped even further.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Jim
said, “I can’t believe this! What am I doing wrong?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Five Bad Leadership
Attitudes<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Like
many new managers, Jim had these five wrong ideas:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">

to force them to work.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">3.<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“I’m superior to
everyone. I can do anything I want.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">4.<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“If you work for me, you
need to kiss my butt.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">5.<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“If you don’t like how I
run things, you can leave.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Because
of these attitudes, Jim’s sales people were selling fewer cars and looking for
other jobs. If Jim did not change his attitude, he would also be looking for a
new job soon.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Just
in time, Jim learned this vital fact about management.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Imagine
a car that can go 230 mph, but has a governor keeping it to 110 mph. Imagine a
business that could easily be generating a million dollars in profit per year,
but it is stuck at just under 100 K – or is even in debt. Imagine an individual
with a power level potential of 10, but who operates at a usual 6.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">These
“ceilings” or blocks are apparent all around us. It’s a problem that people
don’t always know how to fix and so get comfortable in. But that’s not good
enough at all…!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">This
seminar will teach you how to get your people producing at their highest level
of efficiency with no effort.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Business
is generally simple if each person produces what he is supposed to produce and
if he delivers what was produced at the correct place on time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Yet,
most <a href="http://www.guaranteed-prosperity.com/services/the-establisher/">businesses</a>
are a hectic mass of people doing things that create more things to do that
bring about a need to get more people that will do more things BUT without an
actual increase of profit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The reason is simple.</span></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">It
is hard to believe or confront, but the reason for ANY lack of prosperity in an
organization is internal. Nothing to do with the market, clients etc. Just like
a car, the issue is internal. If you can take out the governor from within, you
can zoom to new speeds.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">While
the manager is busy handling the day to day work, he has no time to train his
crew and actually resists and resents anyone who thinks about getting time off
to get trained.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">This
brings about internal disagreements and inhibits the efficient creation of
results.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Money
is the result of results that have been exchanged for money.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">If
your team is not fully trained, the outcome will not be lack of results, but
destruction - as no one is just sitting there doing nothing - so if what they
are doing is not constructive, it’s destructive. If they don’t bring results
they destroy. And yes, it is another one of those “not easy to confront but
true” scenarios.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">In this <a href="https://plus.google.com/+MeirEzraCoach">seminar</a><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">You
will get the tools that will allow you to create the cohesive team you need to
run an effective business. You will learn how to train people and how to debug
people’s problems. You will learn how to handle the day to day emergencies so
they reduce and so that you have time to train your staff.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">You
will get specific tools to handle ANY difficulties a team member may have.
Essentially, you will learn how to get everyone producing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">And
the results – money - lots of money flowing in to your organization… and to
YOU.<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Y5JhKqpPmHU/VpCrUnuUykI/AAAAAAAAAF4/XkT6bjNNKGU/s1600/4174940_orig.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><img border="0" height="304" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Y5JhKqpPmHU/VpCrUnuUykI/AAAAAAAAAF4/XkT6bjNNKGU/s320/4174940_orig.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Prior to <a href="http://www.coroflot.com/kaivaughn/Dr-Howard-Marans-on-shoulder-impingement-surgery-cost">shoulder impingement surgery</a>, other treatments may be used to reduce symptoms while alleviating pain. The costs of these <a href="https://trello.com/b/WwEsIudN/dr-howard-marans">non-surgical methods</a> will slowly add up over a period of time, which will continue to raise the total of the overall medical expenses.</span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Rest may seem like a free approach to a non-surgical treatment option. However, if the patient is required to spend time resting. Work and other routine activities may have to be delayed or eliminated which can result in loss of wages.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Use of braces may help ease the pain while resting the arm and shoulder to promote healing. The brace is usually under $100. The cost is relatively low for the actually brace. However, limiting the range of motion can decrease activity which may result in having to take time off work.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://www.quora.com/topic/Dr-Howard-Marans">Physical therapy sessions</a> may be required. Depending on the severity of the shoulder injury, physical therapy may last weeks. The sessions can help reduce the progression of symptoms through a variety of exercises. Prior to beginning physical therapy, the patient may be required to have an ultrasound to verify the damaged area. The ultrasound and physical therapy session can be costly.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Over the counter and prescription drugs may be used to reduce inflammation and pain. In the beginning, the pain relievers may be a low cost option. Over time the costs will continue add up.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Cortisone or other type of steroid injection may help in reducing the symptoms of the shoulder impingement. The injection can reduce the inflammation and irritation, which may feel like a quick fix.</span></li>
