Janet Lowe from Forbo Flooring Systems discusses the role of flooring within healthcare establishments and looks specifically at a recent project completed by the IBI Group.
Over the last few years, hospital interior design has risen up the agenda following various studies highlighting how patient surroundings can have a major impact on rates of recovery, as well as affect those working within the building. As such, there is an increasing move away from cold, sterile and institutional designs towards replicating a therapeutic and even homely environment, to promote quicker recovery times and more calming spaces.
This new approach to the design of healthcare establishments is being achieved through the specification of furniture, paintwork and an understanding of the important role that flooring plays in this design transition.
Although floors are only one element of creating a healthier and more comfortable environment, they play an important role in design, offering multiple benefits — from reducing the impact of sound, contributing to improved air quality and the creation of hygienic environments. So when it comes to choosing a floor covering, characteristics such as colour and design, Light Reflectance Values (LRV) and cleanability should be considered. There are floor coverings available that help in this regard, such as Forbo's new homogeneous vinyl collection, Sphera.
The Sphera Element range offers a balanced palette of 62 colours, providing a wide choice for healthcare design and offering the opportunity to select colours that work to create the desired ambiance. In addition, almost half of the colours within the range have Light Reflectance Values (LRVs) higher than 40%, in order to maximise any form of lighting within a building, whether natural or artificial.
The IBI Group discovered the many design benefits of homogeneous vinyl when it was tasked with designing Glan Clwyd Hospital's Mother and Baby Unit.
Cristina Tegolo, Designer at IBI Group, who designed the ward, says: "The unit is for mothers and their babies that are born sick or premature, from 27 weeks to Term and therefore in need of hospital care. Because of this, we needed to create a sense of calm and warmth. We created a butterfly flooring design to complement the wall art, which is a forest-like scene of trees, and the hospital really loved it.
These colours were chosen for the butterfly pattern due to their serene connotations, flowing throughout the corridors and into the equipment rooms, acting as an aesthetically pleasing wayfinding tool.
The range also benefits from SMART (Sustainable Modern Advanced Robust Technology) technology, with the SMART-top finish ensuring the flooring has a high resistance to chemicals, scratches and stains. While the in-line coating and subsequent embossing process results in superior appearance and durability, which sees the new Sphera range achieving the highest abrasion wear rating group T. It also has very low emissions of <10ug/m2 after 28 days and is 100% phthalate-free, which helps to ensure that it contributes to a healthier indoor environment.
When it comes to refurbishing or designing a healthcare environment, it is recommended that specifiers liaise with a reputable flooring manufacturer in order to maximise the health and wellbeing of the individuals using the space.


New vans, SUVs, cars and pickups sold in July had an average fuel economy of 24.8 mpg, up 0.1 mpg from June and tying the record high from March, April and May this year, according to researchers at the University of Michigan.
The average fuel economy of 2013 model vehicles sold in the United States through July is 24.7 mpg, up 1.2 mpg compared with 2012 vehicles, according to a monthly report from University of Michigan researchers.
New vans, SUVs, cars and pickups sold in July had an average fuel economy of 24.8 mpg, up 0.1 mpg from June and tying the record high from March, April and May this year, according to researchers Michael Sivak and Brandon Schoettle.
Schoettle, project manager at the university's Transportation Research Institute, said that new-vehicle fuel economy has been fairly stable for several months.
"We feel this is primarily a result of the price of gasoline in the U.S. remaining fairly stable over the same period," Schoettle said in an emailed statement. "These data indicate that demand for fuel efficient vehicles at dealerships remains high -- in addition to recent increases in new-vehicle sales in general."
The average fuel economy of new vehicles sold in July is up 4.7 mpg since October 2007, when the researchers began collecting data.
Schoettle said that he does not expect a large change in the average fuel economy of new vehicles next month unless the price of gasoline changes significantly.
"The trends so far indicate that 2013 [models' average fuel economy] should finish significantly above last year's average," he said. "The average for this year is already 1.2 mpg higher than last year, the largest improvement since the start of our monitoring."
The average sales-weighted fuel economy was calculated using vehicle models' monthly sales and the combined city-highway fuel economy ratings for each model from the EPA Fuel Economy Guide.
The university's national Eco-Driving Index, which calculates the average monthly greenhouse gas emissions from a U.S. driver who bought a new vehicle during the month, dropped to 0.81 in May from 0.82 in April. A lower index score is better, and the scores are compared with a base score of 1 in October 2007, when the researchers began collecting data.


Do you need a certified translation? If you need a document translated from Portuguese to English from a translator certified by the American Translators Association (ATA), we can help you. Our director, Danielle Deremo Cosimo, is ATA certified in translations from Portuguese to English. There are very few translators with this certification living in Brazil.
2. Danielle translates your documents and provides the letter of certification from the ATA with her seal, stamp, and signature.
3. If necessary, Danielle's certification letter is notarized at a Brazilian notary office. In all cases, Danielle stamps and signs the translated documents.
4. The documents and the certification letter can be sent either to you or directly to the institution requesting them.
To determine whether this process is the right one for your specific case, please contact the institution requesting the translation for more information.
The price of a certified translation depends on several factors. Send us your files to receive a quote or e-mail us at contato@superioringles.com. All postage costs and notary office charges will be included in the final price.
While American institutions require ATA-certified translations, Brazilian institutions require a specific certification granted by each state (known locally as a tradução juramentada, or sworn translation). We at Superior are certified by the American Translators Association, and not by the Brazilian government, and therefore cannot provide the certification requested by Brazilian authorities. Conversely, American institutions rarely accept the Brazilian sworn translation certification.
It is also important to remember that an ATA-certified translator is not the same as a member of the ATA. Anyone who pays a fee can be a member of the ATA, but ATA-certified translators (like Danielle from Superior) have received this title after proving their experience in translation, their educational background in the field, and their fluency in the two languages through a written test. While there are hundreds of Portuguese-English translators who are members of the ATA, only a handful are ATA certified.

Beduin Women Pursuing Study in Israeli Universities
As has been the custom for generations, Beduin women get married at an early age. However, education has begun to change that in recent times as young, strong, ambitious and vibrant women pursue more goals — which usually starts with school. Presently, many Beduin young women are standing tall and making their own decisions regarding their lives bending their traditions.
According to Linda Gradstein of The Jerusalem Post, Eman Abu Ammar, 24, is studying language and literature at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. Unlike many Beduin girls her age, she's in no rush to get married.
"Beduin usually get married young," she told The Media Line. "People ask me, 'Why aren't you married, don't you have anybody?' It does pressure me, but I plan to choose a partner who will allow me to keep studying."
Eman Ammar, who is the youngest of eight children, says that her parents encouraged her to study at the university but to continue living at home. She says that she does talk to fellow male students at the university but would not meet them outside of class.
"The Beduin society is still very traditional," she says. "I can be friends with men in the context of school but not more than that."
Her married friend, Reem al-Amrany, says that it is important for women to get education and be employed so that they can support their husbands in difficult economic times.
"Today, when a man wants to marry, he looks for a working woman because of the hard life and the economic situation," she told The Media Line. "He needs someone to help him make a living."
However, Reem says that her biggest challenge is striking the balance between studying and family responsibility, a dilemma of many Western women as well.
"My biggest challenge is the balance between studying, working, my home, my husband and my daughter," she said.
There are an estimated 350 female Beduin students at Ben-Gurion University, as well as 150 men from that community. There are dozens of others in other institutions of higher education. Many of these students receive generous scholarships to study. These young women speak Arabic at home and in school, and often need special tutoring before they can take classes in Hebrew. The university has worked hard to integrate Beduin students into university life, says Ben-Gurion University President Rivka Carmi.
"Ben-Gurion University is helping hundreds of Beduin students realize their potential," Carmi told The Media Line. "The University is able to offer counseling, tutoring and scholarship support that has enabled hundreds of students to benefit from higher education."
In Israel there are an estimated 250,000 Beduins, with most living in the area around Beersheba. Tens of thousands live in "unrecognized villages," meaning their claims to land are not recognized by the Israeli government, but the Israeli Supreme Court has ruled they must be given education and medical care.
For Beduin, it is unacceptable for women to be out at night without a male family member, so most of the women continue to live at home during their studies. However, a majority of them have no computers at home or electricity by which to study at night.

MGM's Television City to offer peek at latest 3-D products
Justin M. Bowen
Visitors to last week's Consumer Electronics Show got to sample 3-D television technology being developed by several companies.
By Amanda Finnegan
Thursday, Jan. 14, 2010 | 2 a.m.
Even with prices as high as $5,000, the Consumer Electronics Association predicts that more than 4 million 3-D-enabled televisions will be sold in the United States this year.
2010 International CES coverage, including stories, blogs, photos, video and more
As it does for a few days every year, the Consumer Electronics Show last week previewed the world's cutting-edge gadgets and technological innovations. But only industry insiders and media got to try them out because the public is not allowed into the annual trade show.
Starting next month, though, CBS Television City inside the MGM Grand will offer a free mini-CES for everyone.
Television City was created in 2001 as a venue to test TV show pilots, but CBS is trying to capitalize more on its capabilities for other market research, as a place to tap consumer opinions on the latest products.
It's the latest validation of Las Vegas' reputation as a prime place for consumer market research.
The Strip, in particular, has the advantage of a high-volume, diverse tourist population. Las Vegas' leisure traveler represents the broadest cross section of the U.S., more so than any other city, says David Poltrack, CBS' executive vice president of research who runs Television City.
"If you want to showcase products and get people's feedback, this is the ideal place to do it," he says.
His facility also has the benefit of MGM Grand's middle-America, everyman clientele. They're not the high rollers of the Wynn, but they're also not the budget-minded travelers of Circus Circus.
A plan to expand Television City began about a year and a half ago, and the first one onboard was electronics giant Sony, which signed a contract to use the CBS research facility for six months.
The company is to open a 3-D research center within Television City next month. Visitors can check out Sony's 3-D products before they hit store shelves later this year.
Sir Howard Stringer, Sony Electronics chairman, president and CEO, announced the plan at CES last week.
The 3,000-square-foot display area at Television City won't allow for as many products as CES' 1.4 million square feet of exhibit space did, of course. But it will showcase the most hyped technology of the big show, where almost every TV and video company showcased the 3-D offerings they had in the works.
Even with prices of at least $5,000 expected for the first 3-D TVs, the Consumer Electronics Association estimates that 4.3 million 3-D-enabled TVs will be sold in the U.S. this year and that 30 percent of the nation's TVs will be 3-D-enabled by 2013.
And although the research center will feature only Sony products, Sony is considered by many to be the company when it comes to 3-D. It was the first company to show off in-home, 3-D technology at last year's CES.
The company has since made announcements on 3-D Blu-ray players, PlayStation games and partnerships with the Discovery Channel and ESPN to launch the first dedicated 3-D TV networks.

Feminism and Women's Rights
Report: Republican Lawmakers Are Claiming Abortions Can Be Reversed
JakeThomas
Researchers studying whether a reversal is possible had to cut the study short due to women having massive hemorrhaging.
Republican lawmakers in several states have passed legislation requiring that women seeking medication abortions be given information suggesting the procedure can be stopped midway through, allowing the pregnancy to continue — but this is highly misleading and dangerous counsel, according to experts.
The Washington Post reported that researchers who attempted to study whether a medication abortion could be successfully stopped and a pregancy allowed to continue almost immediately ran into problems.
Some of the women participating in the study experienced dangerous bleeding, the Post reported, requiring immediate medical attention.
The study was conducted earlier this year by Mitchell D. Creinin, an OB/GYN at the University of California at Davis Health, alongside colleagues, Melissa J. Chen, Melody Y. Hou, Laura Dalton and Rachel Steward.
Creinin said the study showed that laws pushing women to have so-called "abortion reversals" are dangerous and added that "states are encouraging women to participate in an unmonitored experiment."
A medication abortion is performed within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy, the Post noted, and it involves to pills: mifepristone, which "loosens the pregnancy's attachment to the uterus"; and misoprostol, which "forces the uterus to contract to push out the pregnancy."
The medications must be taken consecutively in order for the abortion to be complete, meaning there is a chance the pregnancy will continue if the second pill is skipped.
The argument made by some pro-life activists and lawmakers is that by either not taking the second pill, or by administering high doses of the hormone progesterone after taking the first pill, a medication abortion can be reversed.
However, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists unequivocally notes that "claims regarding abortion 'reversal' treatment are not based on science and do not meet clinical standards."
Nevertheless, abortion reversal legislation has been introduced, passed and signed by governors in North Dakota, Idaho, Utah, South Dakota, Kentucky, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Arkansas, the Post reported, with laws currently blocked or enjoined in Oklahoma and North Dakota as well.
Given that such laws are being passed and reliable research on the potential for reversing a medication abortion is nonexistent, Creinin and his colleagues set out to design "a legitimate double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial that aimed to observe 40 volunteers who had already elected to have a surgical abortion."
With only 12 women enrolled in the study, the researchers had to pull the plug after three of the women experienced serious hemorrhaging.
The Post explained:
Bleeding is normal during a medication abortion. But three of the women who enrolled in the UC-Davis study experienced far more serious bleeding than anyone could have anticipated when the second pill was not administered.
One woman "was so scared she called an ambulance," while another woman startled by the amount of blood "called 911 and crawled into her bathtub," Creinin said. A third woman who went to the emergency room needed a transfusion. One of the women had received a placebo, while two others had taken the progesterone.
Because it was clear that the research could not be conducted safely, the researchers ended the study, leaving open the question of whether a medication abortion can be safely reversed.
"What the results do show, though, is that there's a very significant safety signal" when it comes to disrupting the approved medication abortion protocol, Creinin said.

Complete Vacation, Recreation and Tourism Information
Kinderhook is a Dutch village that has retained a village's size and a village's open country side in the technological age. The streets are lined with trees and many historic (and wooden) buildings remain standing. President Martin Van Buren was born here and, indeed, he was nicknamed Old Kinderhook. (It's though that the phrase "OK" may have come from abbreviating this nickname into O.K.) His home, Lindenwald, is open to the public and his French mural is of especial interest . . . for the sake of its preservation, it can only be viewed by a flashlight. Washington Irving fans will want to check out the Ichabod Crane Schoolhouse and history buffs may want to look at the Benedict Arnold House. This house (where Arnold was taken after his injury in the 1777 Battle of Burgis Heights) is privately owned, but can be seen from the street.
Hudson has Kinderhook's Dutch roots, but a few fewer presidents. Rather, Hudson was known as a center for prostitution and gambling from the late nineteenth century to just before surprise police raids in 1951. It's since cleaned up dramatically.
What is Hudson best known for now? Antiques. Warren Street is a haven for antique shops and antique dealers. The would-be antique collector would be best advised to start in the Hudson Antiques Center and explore from there.
You may also want to look at the American Museum of Firefighting, adjacent to the city's retirement home for firefighters. There is no greater collection of firefighting equipment in the United States. Olana is a stranger attraction, a Persian-style castle in New England, furnished appropriately with Persian rugs, furniture, and art.
Kinderhook is about 20 miles east of Albany on I-90 and Hudson is 10 miles north of Kinderhook on Route 9. For more information about their attractions, check out the links on the left-hand side.

Cork () je mesto v grofiji County Cork, Irska in je njena prestolnica ter upravno središče. Je drugo največje mesto te države in je bilo v 6. stoletju samostansko mesto, ki ga je ustanovil Sveti Finbarr. Središče Corka je obdano z dvema rečnima kanaloma reke Lee.

Zgodovina

Cork je bil prvotno samostanska naselbina, ki jo je v 6. stoletju ustanovil Sveti Finbarr. Cork je postal urbano urejen med leti 915 in 922, ko so priseljenci Norsemani (Vikingi) ustanovili trgovsko pristanišče. Cork naj bi bil tako kot Dublin pomembno trgovsko središče v svetovni skandinavski trgovski mreži. Vzdolž Vikinškega pristanišča je stalo cerkveno naselje. Mesti sta imeli nekakšno sožitje; Norsemeni so cerkveno naselje oskrbovali z neprecenljivim trgovskim blagom za samostan ter tudi za vojaško oskrbo. Mestno listino je Corku leta 1185 podelil knez Janez, irski lord. Mesto je nekoč bilo popolnoma obkroženo z mestnim obzidjem katerega so nekateri odseki vidni še danes. Večji del srednjega veka je Cork ostal angleška izpostava sredi pretežno sovražne gelske pokrajine in odrezan od angleške vlade. V občinski vladi je prevladovalo približno 12-15 trgovskih družin, katerih bogastvo je prišlo iz čezmorske trgovine s celinsko Evropo - zlasti izvoza volne in kož ter uvoza soli, železa in vina. V srednjeveškem Corku je živelo približno 2.100 ljudi. Leta 1349 je mesto utrpelo hud udarec, ko je skoraj polovica mestnih ljudi umrlo zaradi kuge. Leta 1491 je bil Cork udeležen v angleški državljanski vojni imenovani Vojna dveh rož (1455 - 1485). V mesto je prišel Perkin Warbeck in poskušal pridobiti podporo za načrt, s katerim bi strmoglavili angleškega kralja Henry VII. Takratni župan Corka in nekaj pomembnih meščanov je z Warbeckom odšlo v Anglijo, a ko je bil upor zatrt, so bili vsi ujeti in usmrčeni. Mesto župana Corka je bilo ustanovljeno s kraljevim zakonom leta 1318, naslov pa je bil spremenjen v Lord Mayorja leta 1900 ob obisku kraljice Viktorije v mestu. Od devetnajstega stoletja je bil Cork irsko nacionalistično mesto, ki je podpiralo Irsko domovino in irsko parlamentarno stranko, vendar se je od leta 1910 močno zavzemalo za disidentsko stranko Vilijem O'Briena za All-for-Ireland. V vojni za neodvisnost, v dogodku, znanem kot »Burning of Cork«, je središče Corka požgala britanska paravojaška skupina Black and Tans.

Gospodarstvo

Trgovina na drobno v mestu vključuje mešanico sodobnih nakupovalnih centrov in družinskih lokalnih trgovin. Prodajni centri se nahajajo v več predmestjih, med njimi Blackpool, Ballincollig, Douglas, Ballyvolane, Cape Town, Wilton in nakupovalni center Mahon Point. Glavna nakupovalna ulica v Corku je St. Patrick's in je najdražja ulica v državi po Dublinovi ulici Grafton. Druge nakupovalne površine v središču mesta so Oliver Plunkett St. in Grand Parade. Cork je dom nekaterih vodilnih veleblagovnic v državi kot sta Dunnes Stores in nekdanji Roches Stores. Cork je tudi središče industrije v pokrajini. Tu imajo obrate velika farmacevtska podjetja med njimi Pfizer Inc., Johnson & Johnson in švicarsko podjetje Novartis. Morda je najbolj znan izdelek farmacevtske industrije Cork Viagra. Cork je tudi evropski sedež Apple Inc., kjer je več kot 3.000 zaposlenih vključenih v proizvodnjo, raziskave in razvoj ter podporo strankam. Pomembna delodajalca sta tudi Logitech in EMC. V mestu je tudi pivovarna Heineken, ki proizvaja Murphy's Irish Stout ter bližnji pivovarni Beamish in Crawford (ki jo je leta 2008 prevzel Heineken). V tovarni Ferrero se proizvaja 45% svetovnih sladic Tic Tac. Globoko pristanišče Cork omogoča vstop velikih ladij. Letališče Cork omogoča enostaven dostop do celinske Evrope, železniška postaja Cork Kent v središču mesta pa zagotavlja dobre železniške povezave za domačo trgovino.

Znamenitosti
Cork ima arhitekturno pomembne zgradbe, ki izhajajo vse od srednjega veka do modernega časa. Edini pomemben ostanek srednjeveškega obdobja je Rdeča opatija (Red Abbey). V mestu sta dve katedrali; Katedrala sv. Marije (St. Mary's Cathedral) in katedrala sv. Fin Barra (Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral). Katedrala sv. Marije, ki se pogosto imenuje Severna katedrala, je katoliška katedrala, katere gradnja se je začela leta 1808, njen značilen stolp pa je bil zgrajen leta 1860. Katedrala St. Fin Barra služi Irski cerkvi (anglikanski). Zgrajena je na temeljih starejše katedrale. Delo se je začelo leta 1862 in končalo leta 1879 pod vodstvom arhitekta Williama Burgesa.

Glavna mestna ulica je ulica sv. Patrika (St. Patrick's Street), ki je bila preurejena sredi dvajsetega stoletja. Znana je po arhitekturi svojih stavb, je primerna za pešačenje ter je tudi glavna nakupovalna ulica v mestu. Na severnem koncu dominira znamenit kip očeta Mathewa (Father Mathew). Razlog za njeno ukrivljeno obliko je, da je bil tu prvotno kanal reke Lee. Na ulici Oliver Plunkett se s svojo apnenčasto fasado nahaja glavni poštni urad (General Post Office), ki stoji na mestu Kraljevega gledališča in je bil zgrajen leta 1760, leta 1840 pa požgan. Angleški lastnik cirkusa Pablo Fanque je leta 1850 obnovil amfiteater, leta 1877 pa je bil preoblikovan v gledališče in nato v sedanji poštni urad. Grand Parade je avenija in drevored kjer domujejo številne pisarne, trgovine in finančne ustanove. Staro finančno središče pa je ulica South Mall Street, kjer se nahaja več bank, katerih notranjost izhaja iz 19. stoletja. Ena izmed njih je  Allied Irish Bank, ki je bila nekoč menjalnica.

Večina mestnih zgradb je v jurijanskem slogu, čeprav so med njimi številni primeri sodobnih stavb, kot je stolp County Hall, ki je bil nekoč najvišja stavba na Irskem, dokler ga ni nadomestila druga stavba v Corku, stavba Elysian. Pred stavbo County Hall je skulptura dveh moških, lokalno znanih kot »Cha and Miah«. Nasproti Country Halla na drugi strani reke se nahaja najdaljša stavba na Irskem. Psihiatrična bolnišnica Our Lady's Psychiatric Hospital je bila zgrajena v viktorijanskem času. Zdaj je delno obnovljena in preurejena v stanovanjski kompleks imenovan Atkins Hall, po arhitektu Williamu Atkinsu.

Najbolj znana zgradba v Corku je cerkveni stolp Shandon (Church Tower of Shandon), ki dominira v severnem delu mesta ter velja za simbol mesta. Severna in vzhodna stran sta zgrajeni iz rdečega peščenjaka, zahodna in južna stran pa sta prevlečeni s prevladujočim kamnom v regiji, belim apnencem. Na vrhu sedi vremenska lopatica v obliki 11-metrskega lososa. Druga znamenitost v Shandonu je Skiddy's Almshouse, ki je bila zgrajena v 18. stoletju kot dom najrevnejšim v mestu. Mestna hiša v Corku, ki je še ena pomembna zgradba iz apnenca, je zamenjala prejšnjo, ki so jo med vojno za neodvisnost v dogodku, imenovanem »Burning of Cork«, uničili Black and Tans (britanska posebna enota vojske).

Druge pomembne zgradbe v mestu so še trdnjava Elizabeth Elizabeth Fort, operna hiša Cork Opera House, cerkev Christ Church na ulici South Main Street (zdaj Triskel Arts) in dominikanska cerkev St. Mary's Dominican Church na ulici Popes Quay. Druge priljubljene turistične znamenitosti so še Univerzitetni kolidž v Corku, skozi kampus katerega teče reka Lee, ženski zapor Women's Gaol na ulici Sunday's Well in angleški trg English Market. Ta pokrit trg sega v leto 1610, sedanja zgradba pa v leto 1786.

Parki in zabavni prostori vključujejo park Fitzgerald's Park v zahodnem delu mesta, kjer se nahaja tudi muzej Cork Public Museum, ribiško jezero znano kot The Lough, škofovski park Bishop Lucey Park, ki se nahaja v središču mesta in vsebuje del starega mestnega obzidja ter marina in ribnik Marina and Atlantic Pond, ki ga uporabljajo za jogging, tekači in veslači.

Do aprila 2009 sta bili v mestu tudi dve veliki komercialni pivovarni. Beamish and Crawford na ulici South Main Street je zaprla vrata aprila 2009 in prenesla proizvodnjo v pivovarno Murphy's Well na ulici Lady's Well. Ta pivovarna proizvaja tudi pivo Heineken za irski trg. Obstaja tudi pivovarna Franciscan Well, ki je začela kot samostojna pivovarna leta 1998, vendar jo je že kupila skupina Coors.

Tune in for our latest blog in the 'Ask a recruiter' series, where we share questions our candidates have about anything within and outside of the job search process. In case you missed it, our previous blog answered the question of why salaries aren't always included in job posts.
This week we've decided to answer a question posed by a client of ours to change things up a bit. With high competition between companies for quality candidates, thinking about the perks and benefits provided has become quite important.
One of our clients, a Head of Finance at a London Tech Startup, asks: "What are some key perks and benefits we should offer to improve our attraction and retention rates?"
How is a company's success traditionally measured? Annual growth/turnover, percentage of their market, quality of their product? The list could go on.
But what about the hidden factors which drive a company forward? Namely, employee attraction and retention. When considered individually, that grade A candidate you missed out on who went to a rival or the trainee who resigned last month may seem trivial. But when looked at as part of the bigger picture, losing out on top candidates can have a significant impact on the overall success and productivity of your team.
So what are some of the key perks and benefits you can use to improve your attraction and retention rates? These are by no means conclusive, but can assist with beginning to form that all important company culture/branding.
Flexible hours are on the rise across a range of sectors. An awareness of this can reach out to the "millennial" mindset of doing work, not going to work. Treating staff as humans with lives away from work can speak volumes about company values. Netflix have gone a step further, with untracked hours and unlimited holiday.
We're on track for reaching a workforce where 50% work from home by 2020. Clearly there's a degree of trust required here but higher productivity, overall higher retention and morale and reduced environmental impacts can't be ignored!
How clearly defined is the progression roadmap? This can apply for new applicants and existing staff. Plenty of competitors will have a route already planned out and their employees will know what they're working towards from day 1, increasing overall morale and satisfaction. If you can't think of what this would look like, that would be a good place to start!
Providing company equity/stock options is increasingly popular. This won't be for everyone, but working as part of a growing business, this can be an attractive option for staff who want to have a real life stake in their job/company and will drive success.
Health and wellness programmes can be a low cost, high reward offering. From gym subsidies to a simple fruit bowl policy, our physical and mental health is increasingly being linked back to our working conditions. The element of flexibility is a plus here, from in-house yoga classes to work sports teams, there's plenty of ways to stand out.
Whilst a job offer may seem like the end of a recruitment process, its contents have a role to play in the initial attraction of candidates. Ensuring this is aligned with your company brand and values will increase the likelihood of attracting those who share your vision.

In 1968, The Beatles topped the charts with Hey Jude, and the first 'manned' spacecraft orbited the moon. Simultaneously, New Brunswick's Village of Belledune became a centre of unprecedented progress with the construction of a major deepwater port. The remote community saw hardware stores open. Gas stations and grocers flourished. Port expansions continued through the decades resulting in new customers and record traffic.
The Port is fully committed to the 'North Shore' where sandy beaches meet the warmest waters north of Virginia in the summer. With only 15 full-time employees, the Belledune Port Authority (BPA) supports almost 2000 direct and indirect jobs.
Denis D. Caron, President & CEO of the BPA since 2016, says it's an exciting time for the port to reach middle age. "Last year we netted a profit of CAN$2 685 200, which is an increase of 14% profit over the year before. We are delivering a better quality of life for our surrounding communities and will continue to do so. This policy is part of the port's DNA," Caron declares.
Just 5 min. off the highway, Port of Belledune facilities have direct access to the Atlantic Ocean via the Bay of Chaleur. This results in fast shipping times to Europe and beyond. The region has strong air connections too with the Bathurst airport only 40 km away; Charlo airport is 45 km, and the Moncton International Airport is 250 km south. The port also welcomes 150 trucks per day, and 38 250 trucks annually.
Belledune was first settled in 1815 and many evacuees of the Great Miramichi Fire followed in 1825. The region experienced transformational change in the 1960s under New Brunswick premier Louis Robichaud with the construction of a lead and zinc smelter to support mining south of Bathurst. "In the early days, the port mainly served the mining industry but the permanent shutdown of the Brunswick Mine in 2013 closed a big door," recalls Caron.
Fortunately, strategic investments over the years secured the port's future with four diverse marine terminals. The first expansion took place in 1993 to meet the needs of a new coal-fired NB Power generating plant in Belledune. Shipments of coal and petroleum coke still comprise 47% of the port's tonnage, but the future of the plant is uncertain. "Accordingly, we reduced our dependency and now handle 24 different commodities with a focus on bulk and break bulk," he explains.
In 1998, a mixed cargo terminal was added. The port became a Canadian Port Authority in 2000, and shipping perlite since 2002 has advanced diversification efforts. A defining year was 2011 with the completion of two new terminals; a roll-on/roll-off terminal and another for barges. A new modular fabrication facility was built beside a second huge building for complementary services. This paved the way for new cargo types such as generators, modular homes and trailers. The BPA also acquired more land which now totals 1600 acres. Danika Keeley, the BPA's first female board chair, says a strong liaison with federal and provincial governments allowed the BPA to significantly improve its infrastructure.
The BPA has adopted a new business development method concentrating on five specific growth sectors: energy, forestry, mining and minerals, agriculture, and modular. "Forest products have been in the cargo mix since the late 1990s," notes Caron. "This year, we hit a milestone of 1 million t of wood pellets exported by two shippers." Wood chips are also exported to Turkey where they are turned into medium density fiberboard. The port ships salt to Morocco; petroleum coke to the US; coal to Columbia; sulfuric acid to Chile, and biomass to the UK, to name a few.
In 2017, the BPA demonstrated its commitment to sustainability becoming the newest participant in Green Marine – the largest voluntary environmental certification programme for the maritime industry in North America. Another highlight for Caron was signing an agreement with First Nation communities to establish a framework for consultation on future projects. "The port is situated on the traditional land of the Mi'gmaq people, so it's essential we forge a path forward that is practical, respectful and supportive." The port continues to consult with five regional First Nation communities and recently bought a 15 seat passenger van to provide public tours of the site. A community Family Day was also held to celebrate the big 5-0.

WAMC to buy 'The Mount' in $8.7 million deal.
NPR affiliate to take over Wharton mortgage debt
Albany, New York -- WAMC Northeast Public Radio announced today it will buy The Mount in an $8.7 million transaction intended to take over the debt of the financially-ailing literary arts institution and keep the famous estate and library collection intact.
The tax-exempt NPR affiliate announced it would be purchasing all debt obligations of Edith Wharton Restoration, Inc. from local banks and individuals currently holding notes on the property, and that the public radio station will be taking possession as soon as the paperwork is signed.

WAMC, in a press release, says it intends to refit the estate, change its name to the Alan S. Chartock Museum of Northeast Public Radio Arts, Sciences and First Amendments, in honor of the station's longtime CEO, and set aside the entire third floor wing of Edith Wharton's former dwelling for use by Mr. Chartock as a Lenox branch office and summer residence.
WAMC says the new acquisition, with its manicured lawns and gardens, will offer Mr. Chartock the peace, quiet, open space, and sweeping vistas necessary to enable its CEO, like Edith Wharton before him, to compose the riveting prose and illuminating commentary that readers and listeners have come to expect from the well-known political commentator and former SUNY professor.
WAMC's Chartock said, "The acquisition of Edith Wharton's home along with the estate's extensive acreage and out buildings will be a fitting memorial to public radio and to WAMC's lifelong commitment to promoting liberalism, democratic values, social justice, and a more civil society."
WAMC's long-time CPA, William M. Kahn, managing director with UHY LLP in Albany, gives the deal thumbs up, saying, "Yeah, I guess. Who wants to spend summers on Central Avenue?"
Mr. Chartock also noted, "WAMC is asking listeners to give what they can so this fragile experiment in public radio will never go out and the fire of our commitment so WAMC listeners can hear different points of view will be the candle that lights the voices that will forever hear truth in our hearts and not die and not be afraid to take on the Bushies and their minions the Cheneys and attacking our Constitutional rights, our First Amendment, and the good Lord willing will make WAMC's newest goal a reality."
Mr. Chartock also said that tax-deductible contributions should be made to the 'WAMC Museum Fund' in care of the station.

A special four-week, on-air fund drive to raise the $8.7 million is set for the beginning of the summer tourist season and will culminate with 'WAMC Day' at Tanglewood, an all-day affair which will include a gala black-tie, invitation-only dinner followed by a concert in the Koussevitzky Music Shed and fireworks.
Former New York State Democratic Governors Mario M. Cuomo and Eliot Spitzer will make special guest appearances at WAMC Day at Tanglewood.
The concert will feature performances by James Taylor, Pete Seeger, Jay Unger and Molly Mason, with special guest appearances by 'Prairie Home Companion' host Garrison Keillor, and two former New York State Democratic Governors, Mario M. Cuomo and Eliot Spitzer. <<<<<

Looks like a nice site for Chartock's final resting place. I wonder if Selma and Dave G (there are two, which one has less of a spine is anyone's guess) will be laid to rest in one mass grave.
I'm still in shock that Edith Wharton's home could actually be renamed Chartock......he couldn't touch the insight and talent of this woman. Her home needs to remain her namesake.
First, let me state I wrote a major college paper on Edith Wharton. Secondly, I worked for the narcissistic egomaniac (redundancy required)whose name they want to attach to Ms. Wharton's residence. I worked in a position at his "other" job. Therefore. I'm biased.
Am I a disgruntled ex-emplyee? No, I've done very well since, and I learned a great deal on the machinations of academia while working for Chartock a number of years ago.
I just have one question? Is there no limit to the power of Albany's own little Napoleon?
what's up with Julia Taylor leaving WAMC ?
She was probably sexually harassed by Alan and decided to leave with an out of court settlement in the style of Karen Perozi-Guistina.
Hey, why not, if it works use it.
Those WAMC supporters are so generous.
Nice, Mr. Heller. Totally believable except for the fact that we would have heard about this for days on end on WAMC. Then I checked the blog post's date for the explanation. :-)

why is WAMC constantly begging for money either through some new scheme like donating cars or buying items off of its website?
Chartock would rename Berkshire County as "Chartock County" if he could. He is the most egocentric, opinionated jerk I know of.

This is the REAL Osia Coger. I don't know what kind of sham you are putting on or what kind of spineless person you are. But, I did not post those comments on your blog. Keep me out of your agenda against Alan Chartock. Those comments do not represent who I am or what kind of person I am.

If I hear Alan talk about our President's Tax Documents one more time... Lets see Dr. Chartock's Tax filings: oh yeah, he is tax exempt; but, maybe we could see the beautiful and elegant Roseal's Taxes instead. I also wonder if the hypocrit liberal; holds Satanic Illuminati rituals & Globalist, Maleovelent sex orgys at his new estate in Lennox MA., where he almost certainly does not even pay property tax!? And, I can say from experience and certainty; he did not pay tax all the many times that he dined out every week of the year.

Peter Treglia | Waltham, MA; Santa Ana, CA | info@coinappraiser.com | United States Currency
Career Achievements & Qualifications: With over 15 years of experience as a professional numismatist, Peter Treglia brings a wealth of knowledge to his position as Director of Currency for Stack's Bowers Galleries. He first became involved with numismatics almost by accident, it turns out, as baseball cards were his first area of interest in the collectibles market. Peter started collecting baseball cards at the age of 12, and shortly after, discovered a card shop that also sold coins. He purchased his first coin at the age of 14, became a dealer almost immediately at age 15, and quickly discovered paper money, thanks to the Internet. After collecting paper money for about a year, Peter started selling notes on eBay. Once he realized that he could make money-trading currency, he immediately became hooked and saw himself buying and selling notes for the rest of his life. In February 2005, Peter was hired as one of the five original currency graders for Paper Money Guaranty (PMG), the currency grading affiliate of Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Prior to taking that position, Peter had studied Business Management at the University of Massachusetts in Lowell for two years. After working for PMG for seven months, Peter left the firm to start his own currency venture. However, that was shortly lived, as Spectrum Group International CEO Greg Roberts approached him with an offer to lead the Spectrum Numismatics (now Stack's Bowers Galleries) currency division. He gladly accepted the offer, and since the Stack's Bowers Galleries/Spectrum Numismatics/Teletrade merger, he has overseen the Stack's Bowers Galleries paper money cataloging and consignment teams, in addition to his primary duties buying currency.
Personal: Born and raised in Waltham, Massachusetts, Peter is a first-generation American of Italian heritage. As such, he finds equal enjoyment collecting both Waltham National Bank Notes and Italian currency. Peter is a fan of the Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots, and also enjoys playing golf. He is a Life Member of the American Numismatic Association (ANA) and the Society of Paper Money Collectors (SPMC), and is also a member of the Professional Currency Dealers Association (PCDA), currently serving as a member of the Board of Governors.

J&J's (JNJ) Multiple Sclerosis Drug Ponvory Gets EU Approval
Zacks Equity Research May 25, 2021
JNJ Quick Quote
SNY Quick Quote
NVS Quick Quote
BMY Quick Quote
You follow Analyst Blog - edit
Johnson & Johnson (
JNJ - Free Report) announced that the European Commission has granted approval to Ponvory (ponesimod) as an oral treatment for relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS). The S1P1 modulator will be marketed in all 27 member states of the European Union as well as in Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein to treat adults with RMS with active disease defined by clinical or imaging features.
The approval was expected as the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) had given a positive opinion in March recommending approval of the drug. We note that the FDA granted approval to the drug for a similar indication in March 2021.
The approval for Ponvory in Europe was based on encouraging data from the phase III study — OPTIMUM — which compared the drug to Sanofi's (
SNY - Free Report) blockbuster multiple sclerosis drug, Aubagio (teriflunomide). Data from the study demonstrated superior efficacy of Ponvory in reducing annualized relapse rates and MRI activity compared to Aubagio. Treatment with Ponvory achieved statistically significant 30.5% reduction in annualized relapse rate in MS patients compared to Aubagio. J&J's drug also achieved a 56% reduction in the number of new inflammatory lesions on brain MRI compared to Sanofi's drug at week 108 following initiation of the treatment.
Please note that Aubagio is one of the widely used first-line oral treatment for MS patients that raked in more than $2 billion in sales last year.
However, competition in the MS segment is intensifying as several companies are developing their candidates or commercializing drugs targeting relapsing MS. Among the newer drugs, in March 2020, the FDA approved Bristol Myers Squibb's (
BMY - Free Report) Zeposia (ozanimod) as an oral treatment for RMS. Novartis' (
NVS - Free Report) Kesimpta (ofatumumab) was approved by the FDA in August 2020 as a self-administered, targeted B-cell therapy for patients with RMS.
J&J's stock has risen 8.3% so far this year compared with 7.4% increase of the industry.
In a separate press release, J&J announced updated data from the dose-escalation phase I MajesTEC-1 study evaluating its off-the-shelf T-cell redirecting bispecific antibody candidate, teclistamab, as potential treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (r/MM). Subcutaneous administration of the candidate achieved an overall response rate of 65% after a median follow-up of more than six months in heavily pretreated patients. Meanwhile, the company is also evaluating the candidate in a phase II study in r/rMM patients.

Bitcoin, Like the Internet Itself, Could Change Everything
Blockchain and cryptocurrency have sparked one of the most exciting discussion topics of a generation. Some call it the "Internet of Money" and predict it could change the way money works forever. If true, it could do to banks what Netflix did to Blockbuster and Amazon did to Sears. Experts agree we're still in the early stages of this technology, and as it grows, it will create several investing opportunities.
Zacks has just revealed 3 companies that can help investors capitalize on the explosive profit potential of Bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies with significantly less volatility than buying them directly.
