The subject of whistleblowing has gained significant media attention in recent years, thanks largely to high-profile whistleblowers like Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning.
But what exactly is 'whistleblowing' – and why have recent high-profile cases caused the word to become not just misunderstood, but viewed as negative, damaging and potentially dangerous?
What is whistleblowing?
Whistleblowing is a term generally used to describe the disclosure of wrongdoing.
In a business context, whistleblowing can occur when an employee or a third-party reports unethical, illegal or illicit behaviour by an individual or group within that organisation.
The whistleblowing process
A whistleblower will typically share their concerns with one or more of the following:
- a manager or designated colleague within their organisation
- an independent third party (like us)
- a regulator or governing body (eg. the Care Quality Commission, Financial Conduct Authority, etc.)
- the public (via the press or social media)
In instances 1 and 2 listed above, a whistleblowing report will be handled according to that organisation's whistleblowing policy.
This usually involves the report being passed to a designated person within the organisation for further investigation.
The organisation will then seek to reach an appropriate outcome within a specified time-frame.
In cases where a whistleblower reveals their concerns to the public, the outcomes are far less certain.
Where do the negative connotations of whistleblowing come from?
Its ability to cause 'damage'
Public declaration of malpractice from a whistleblower can undoubtedly damage share prices, revenues and personal reputations.
High profile revelations can also attract attention from industry regulators, government agencies or even law enforcement.
It has also been argued that such revelations can put others in harm's way – particularly in circumstances where secrecy is a key feature of the organisation in question.
Media narrative
"Quite often, it pits vulnerable individuals against large organisations with highly effective PR capabilities."
Because of their destructive potential, whistleblowers that 'go public' can be portrayed by the media – or the organisation's they criticise – as 'shady', untrustworthy or misleading.
Quite often, it pits vulnerable individuals against large organisations with highly effective PR capabilities.
Regardless of whether the allegations made have foundation, this can quickly degenerate into a narrative of right and wrong – often coupled by the release of information designed to publicly discredit the whistleblower (and, by association, the claims they have made).
The word itself
Whistleblowing. Let's be honest: it's not a word that evokes warmth or positive feelings.
Consciously or subconsciously, it's a word people might associate with alarm, schoolteachers or sports officials.
Its everyday usage usually relates to the exposure of unpalatable or worrying information – a positive action in itself, but negative in its association.
This is evidenced by organisations choosing to label their whistleblowing programmes and reporting channels with another name (eg. 'Ethics line', 'Speak Up policy').
The other side of the story
However, depending on the context, it can be completely understandable for a whistleblower to reveal their concerns publicly.
Some whistleblowers resort to this course of action after raising concerns through internal channels but not seeing the outcomes they had hoped for, or expected.
Others choose this direction from the outset in the belief that their revelations are in the immediate public interest, or that their career might be at risk if they speak up internally.
In the most extreme cases, a whistleblower might fear imprisonment or harm to life (a view taken by CIA whistleblower Edward Snowden, who is now living in Russia and seeking asylum elsewhere).
Whistleblowing is legal though, isn't it?
Whistleblowing laws vary significantly across the world and some countries provide specific protection for whistleblowers.
The United Kingdom
In the UK, for example, workers are protected from being treated unfairly or dismissed from their job if they make a disclosure about:
- a criminal offence
- risk of damage to the environment
- health and safety risks
- a cover up of wrongdoing
- breach of the law
- miscarriage of justice
Other complaints such as bullying, harassment and discrimination aren't covered by UK whistleblowing law.
The law also offers less protection to those who report their concern to the media, rather than their employer or prescribed person or body.
The global picture
Many whistleblowers around the world don't enjoy the protection they are afforded in the UK.
A 2014 report from Transparency International (Australia) said that despite commitments made by G20 countries to improve their whistleblower protections laws, 'many G20 countries still fail to meet international standards'.
Those cited included Argentina, Brazil, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
Even with legislative changes, cultural factors in some countries prevent employees from coming forward to raise their concerns.
Creating a positive perception of whistleblowing
Whistleblowers continue to face a difficult environment. But things are changing.
The continuing emergence of new whistleblower revelations, coupled with high-profile corporate scandals, has fuelled a growing global debate about business ethics and corporate responsibility.
At the same time, those in positions of authority are under greater scrutiny than ever before.
This has begun to shift the conversation towards transparency and accountability, and the tools and strategies that can help underpin those values.
In the last 12 months, new whistleblowing legislation has been introduced in The Netherlands while financial institutions in Italy, the UK and Germany have also become subject to new rules. In January 2017 Sweden will join the those introducing new whistleblowing laws designed to protect the whistleblower.
As the debate grows louder, there's real hope that the perception of whistleblowing will continue to evolve into something predominantly positive; a force for openness, honesty and accountability.

Hey Waves, let's have a party!
Waves Vienna turns five this year. Five years of discovering your new favourite bands, late nights, weird and wonderful venues and dirty, stinking hangovers. In other words, five great years.
As with every Waves Festival the timetable can be a little daunting, the big names are now fewer and far between as it seeks to become one of the key festivals for showcasing new bands. We've listened to all of them and picked out a few highlights which you should definitely not miss over the three days. But don't expect to be able see everything you want to.
Listen to our playlist here
Like Elephants – 20:00 – Künstlerhaus Basement
Like Elephants make hazy dream pop for a sleepy mystical ride through the conclaves of your own mind. Perfect music to start a hungover Saturday evening of music in Vienna.
Inner Tongue – 21:15 – Künstlerhaus Basement
No need to move from the spot as Inner Tongue take over from Like Elephants.
Pola-Riot – 21:45 – Badeschiff
The guys are known for their explosive sets, blending electro, future techno and house and their tracks are always good to get people moving.
Kero Kero Bonito – 21:45 – Porgy & Bess
This is an interesting one. We're not sure whether we find these guys interesting because they make decent music, or because they are just totally bat-shit crazy. Decide for yourself.
Ebony Bones – 23:00 – Porgy & Bess
Staying on the topic of flamboyant musicians, there are not too many more intriguing than Ebony Bones.
Young Rebel Set – 23:00 – Alte Post
Young Rebel Set are no strangers to the Austrian capital. According to the Waves website, the band have some "belting memories of playing in Austria …" – let's hope they make some more on Saturday night.
Austrian Apparel – 23:30 – Künstlerhaus Basement
Head into the night with some of Austria's best beat-makers at the moment, Austrian Apparel.

The Vítkov arson trial came to an end on Wednesday with the conviction of all four defendants, who received extra-ordinary sentences. The Regional Court of Ostrava on Wednesday morning sent three of the culprits to 22 years in prison for racially motivated attempted murder. The remaining perpetrator received 20 years because he did not assist in planning the attack. The four neo-Nazis were found guilty of throwing Molotov cocktails into a house they knew was inhabited by a Romany family on April 19, 2009, likely to mark the anniversary of the birth of Adolf Hitler. Of the nine people in the house, three were injured in the attack, including a two-year-old child, Natálka, who suffered burns to 80% of her body. The girl's mother was present at the sentencing and said she had not expected such high punishments, and was glad the case was over. The perpetrators must also pay more than 17 million crowns in compensation for damages, 9.5 million of which will go to the injured child. Lawyers for each of the defendants said they would appeal.
The government intends to limit an expected increase in electricity prices by introducing a withholding tax on solar energy plants and selling emissions vouchers. Prime Minister Petr Nečas said Wednesday that the 26% tax should keep the price rises to 5.5% for both households and businesses by bringing the state roughly 4.2 billion crowns next year. The sale of emission vouchers he said would fetch the state coffers 4.8 billion. The government also intends to increase the fees for exempting land for solar panels from the agricultural fund, which would draw another 1.7 billion crowns. The withholding tax would apply only to high-power solar panels, which are reportedly the cause of the price hikes, and not roof panels for households.
The government on Wednesday also approved the issuing of state bonds in the amount of 148.2 billion crowns for most of last year's state budget deficit. The Ministry of Finance hopes that the proposal is passed in its first reading in Parliament. The bonds cover the remainder of the amount approved by Parliament earlier this year, with 37.7 billion in bonds already having been approved. The state's economic result in 2009 ended with a deficit of 192.4 billion crowns, while the original budget anticipated a deficit of 38.1 billion.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is to arrive in Prague on Wednesday for a brief working visit. His talks with his Czech counterpart Petr Nečas are expected to focus on bilateral relations, Hungary's upcoming EU presidency in the first half of 2011 and the two country's positions regarding the proposed EU budgetary regulations aimed at increasing fiscal responsibility within the alliance. The Hungarian prime minister will hold talks in Prague just two days after a visit by the Slovak Prime Minister Iveta Radičová, which covered similar ground.
President Václav Klaus and former prime minister Mirek Topolánek have exchanged harsh criticism of one another for the growing association of lobbying and politics in the course of their careers. According to the president, the main factor behind the failure of the Civic Democratic Party (which Mr Klaus originally founded) in local elections was the "unfortunate" chairmanship of Mr Topolánek and the emergence of a lobbying structure within the party. Mr Topolánek replied that he was "disgusted" by the remarks, and said that if there was anyone in the Czech Republic who symbolised the merging of business and politics it was Mr Klaus, who he said has surrounded himself with a circle of businessmen since the times of "wild privatisation". He added that he was not to blame for the party's election result, as he was neither its chairman nor its candidate.
Leaders of the Prague chapters of the rival Civic Democratic and Social Democratic Parties are meeting on Wednesday to discuss a possible grand coalition in the City Council. The two parties finished second and third in local elections after the conservative TOP 09 party, and their leaders said they would be looking for common ground in their programmes. Earlier this week, Civic Democratic chairman and Prime Minister Petr Nečas warned against a grand coalition in Prague, saying it would not be in keeping with the city's right-wing tendencies and recent election turnout. All parties involved in the negations said there were still three possible coalitions on the table: TOP 09 and the Civic Democrats, TOP 09 and the Social Democrats, or the Civic and Social Democrats together.
The main opposition party in Ukraine has asked Czech officials to stay out of what it called the "settling of political scores" over former Ukrainian finance minister Bohdan Danylyshyn, who was arrested in Prague on Tuesday on an international warrant. The statement by the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc that the accusations against Mr Danylyshyn were purely political and based on falsified information. A spokeswoman for the Municipal Court of Prague said that no proposal of extradition had yet been filed. Bogdan Danylyshyn was the minister of finance in the government of Yulia Tymoshenko until earlier this year. Ukraine accuses him of corruption and losing public funds through "inefficient and excessive expenditure."
Prime Minister Nečas says his centre-right government has shown it is capable of pushing through planned key reforms in its first 100 days in office and done a good job even when taking certain unpopular steps. Mr. Nečas said that the economisation in each of the ministries was a clear sign that his is a government of budgetary responsibility. The opposition criticises the coalition's planned reforms, saying they are socially insensitive, and blames the government for refusing to communicate with them.
The District Court in České Budějovice has sentenced six people to two to eight years for attempted drug and human trafficking. The court found on Wednesday that the group had organised the transfer of Czech prostitutes to a brothel in Switzerland in 2009, as well as a delivery of drugs of their own making. A woman who the group did bring to Switzerland was allegedly kept in a locked room by a Swiss man and was repeatedly raped and beaten. A decision in his trial is expected later this week.
While the search continues for a nine-year-old girl who went missing in Prague's Troja district one week ago, police have filed missing persons announcements for two other young women. Both of the girls are sixteen years old and live in the region of Karlovy Vary. Lucie Kosnarová from the village of Stráž nad Ohří was last seen in her home at around midnight on Sunday. Petra Bubeníková of Karlovy Vary went missing after she left home for school on Monday morning. There has been no indication from the police that any of the cases may be related.

New Clark City is designed to become a smart, intelligent, green, resilient, future-proof and socially-inclusive metropolis.
Economic Impact
Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III said the economy is expected to grow 7 percent or faster over the medium term as the government increases spending for the 'Build, Build, Build' infrastructure program.
Dominguez said government spending on infrastructure in the first five months of 2018 reached P281 billion, up 42 percent from the same period last year. He said the amount was on top of private sector construction and public sector projects financed through public-private partnerships.
Dominguez said that with P281 billion invested on infrastructure in the five-month period, the government was averaging close to P56 billion a month in spending on 'Build, Build, Build'.
He said with 30 percent of this spending going to wages, about P17 billion was infused into the economy a month in the form of additional income and purchasing power for workers.
The infrastructure program also generated 100,000 new jobs so far, spurring economic activity in related sectors and other multiplier effects, he said.
Dominguez also emphasized that combined with other reforms such as the long-due modernization of the tax system and improvements in the ease of doing business, the Duterte administration envisions the infrastructure program to reduce poverty incidence by a third of the 2015 level of 21.6 percent to just 14 percent by 2022.
"This will be the absolute measure of success of our strategy of inclusive growth. This is the goal that has been set for us by President Duterte, and this is how we are implementing it," said Dominguez. "We fully aspire to be the fastest growing economy in the fastest growing region in the world. This will not be an easy task to accomplish. But we are ready to meet the challenges, driven by the optimism of our people, the confidence of our development partners, and the leadership of President Duterte."
Other On-going Projects
Aside from the New Clark City Government Administrative Center, three other infrastructure projects under the Build Build Build program are already underway in Clark City. These projects include the Subic-Clark Railway Project (SCRP), Clark International Airport (CIA) Expansion Project- Engineering Procurement and Construction for the new International Passenger Terminal, and the CIA Project Operations and Maintenance.
The projects are under the implementation of the BCDA, with the SCRP being a joint project with the Department of Transportation (DOTr).
Subic-Clark Railway Project (SCRP)
The SCRP, which covers the provinces of Bataan and Pampanga, is a 71-km freight railway connecting Subic Bay Freeport Zone and Clark Freeport Zone. It will provide a railway link between the Port of Subic Bay and the Clark International Airport. Eventually, the trains will be open to passenger service and will be extended to New Clark City.
The railway project will be financed through Official Development Assistance (ODA) from China and through the allocated budget in the General Appropriations Act (GAA). The project has a total cost of P 50.03 Billion (P40.26 Billion of which is shouldered by DOTr, while the other P9.77 Billion is under BCDA. The railway will commence construction in 2019, and is expected to be completed on 2022.
Clark International Airport (CIA) Expansion Project- Engineering Procurement and Construction for the new International Passenger Terminal
In order to alleviate air traffic congestion at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) and to accommodate the growing traffic in Central and Northern Luzon, a new international passenger terminal is being constructed at the Clark International Airport.
The engineering, procurement, and construction will cost a total of P9.36 Billion and will be funded through BCDA corporate funds. The groundbreaking took place in December 2017, and the project is expected to be completed on June 2020.
Clark International Airport (CIA) Project Operations and Maintenance
An operations and maintenance concessionaire for the Clark International Airport will be selected for a 25-year period using the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) Law. With a total cost of P5.6 Billion, the project aims to select and engage a world-class operator, in order to keep the airport at par with international aviation standards.BLOG COMMENTS POWERED BY DISQUS

Pierce County Councilman Dan Roach learned first hand that wearing a helmet when riding a bicycle can save lives – it saved his.
Roach was involved in serious bicycle accident Aug. 23 while training for the Labor of Love Triathlon.
While turning onto the West Tapps Highway portion of the triathlon course, Roach was cut off by a dog. Roach hit the dog full on, and performed what many bicyclists coin as an "endo" – short for end over end, when bicyclists are thrown off their bikes over their handlebars.
Roach broke his right collarbone and three ribs in the crash, but did not suffer any head injuries because he was wearing a helmet.
He described the crash as a "hit and slam," and that he did not skid too far on the road.
Witnesses on the road called the 911 for Roach.
Along with his injuries, Roach's helmet was severely damaged. "The impact hit the back right side of the helmet, right behind the ear," he said. A large piece of the helmet broke off because of the impact, and the helmet cracked through the middle.
Roach said the accident was "potentially fatal" because he landed on his head, and the crash would have been a "whole different story" if he wasn't wearing his helmet.
Behind the ears is the temporal lobe part of the brain. The temporal lobe is responsible for sensory input and when damaged, can disturb hearing, vision, verbal skills and long term memory, as well as cause personality changes, according to the Centre for Neuro Skills.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reported there were 722 reported bicyclist deaths in 2012, 469 of those deaths, or 65 percent, were from not wearing a helmet during the crash. Of the 123 deaths, 17 percent, were wearing a helmet when they died. It is not known if remaining 130 deaths, or 18 percent, were wearing a helmet when they died.
According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, bicycle helmet use is 85 percent effective at mitigating head and brain injuries and preventing deaths.
Additionally, a recent National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study found the highest source of injury for bicyclists, 29 percent, is being hit by a car. The lowest cause of injury, at four percent, is when a dog runs out in front of a bike.
Roach said he does not know whether or not the dog he hit was injured, or where it went after the crash.

Now that plagiarism is hot again, Josh "The Fat Jew" Ostrovsky has re-emerged from the pile of LaCroix cans and empty Siracha bottles he calls home to remind the world that he failed to cite his sources first. (Who are we kidding? He probably has a really nice loft in Brooklyn somewhere.) And because Hollywood executives are the last ones to criticize someone for ripping off other people's ideas, despite Ostrovsky's pariah status in both the comedy and ramen communities they continue to give this self-proclaimed overweight child of Abraham work.
Most recently, as reported by Deadline, Ostrovsky has been cast as a millennial genie—sorry, "foulmouthed mystical bearded guy"—who gives a teenage boy a magical app that makes all of his social-media posts come true. (So, he manifests racist Pokémon, then?) Billed as "Big for the millennial generation," the movie is called Status Update and co-stars people who should know better like Rob Riggle, Wendi McLendon-Covey, and Famke Janssen. Austin & Ally star Ross Lynch stars as the ostensibly lucky teen, and since he's spent most of his career at the Disney Channel we'll let this one slide. (Anything to get away from that taskmaster Mickey Mouse.)
No word yet on when the surely insufferable viral marketing for Status Update will begin, but if the kid doesn't summon the genie with a vape pen, we're calling bullshit on this entire thing.

This depends heavily on the identity of your web store. The easiest way to win the customer for you, is to offer the lowest price on your web store. The disadvantage is that the margins are so low, that it is questionable whether you get any revenue. A good pricing strategy can make the difference. But how do you ensure that you have a good price strategy that help you sell your products and still earn something? There are a number of elements, outside of price strategies, that help you with this.
What will be your message? "Why do you do what you do?" With your message, you want people to identify with your brand or web store. Apple is doing this very well. Apple does not say that they make the best computers or phones. They say they make innovative products that challenge the status quo. People like this and therefore buy the products from Apple. Apple has a stable support base for a reason. Nobody puts a tattoo of the car brand Volvo. People do tattoo the Harley Davidson logo on their backs. Harley Davidson does not sell the best motorbikes, they sell freedom and camaraderie. And that is why people buy their bikes. People do not buy Porsche because it is better than an expensive Audi, but because a Porsche has more status. Expensive cars can be sold cheaper, but then they no longer have any status. People buy these cars precisely because they are expensive. That can also be a pricing strategy. Your message is also an important part of your strategy. Why does a client buy from your web store and not from your competitor? And what is it that you client buys from you anyway? Determine your price based on your message.
Market research
What is your position in the market? In what kind of market are you: new or saturated / high competition or low competition? / products or service? What is the pricing strategy of other companies in the same industry? By looking at the price strategy of your competitors you can also determine the right pricing strategy for your web store. Perhaps by using the same pricing strategy or using a very different pricing strategy. Or perhaps by employing that activity that no-one else does.
What is unique about your product, why would this have added value for the customer? This is an important question, when determining your pricing strategy. The added value of a Porsche is precisely because it is expensive and therefore has status. Please note that you do not pay attention to what makes your product unique, but why it is unique. 'What' is if your engine is the best. 'Why' is if your motorcycle gives freedom and camaraderie, just like Harley Davidson.
Choosing a pricing strategy
The next step is to choose a pricing strategy in a direction that suits you and your web store. Focus not only on the price, but also on:
- Demand: flexible in the flows of supply and demand;
- Competition: lower prices;
- Costs: certainty of profit;
- Identity: of your web store and your product.
For an elaborate explanation about these different pricing strategies, you could read our blog about pricing strategies.
Design of a pricing strategy
The next step is to determine what the content of your strategy will look like?
- Premium / Exclusive;
- Economic / Budget prices;
- Psychological prices;
- Dynamic prices.
Or an appropriate combination of the above price strategies. Whatever matches your identity.

Episode 220: SCHRODINGER'S KARL
On the new Anfield Index Podcast, Trev Downey, Karl Coppack and Kam Brainch, under the watchful eye of Guy Drinkel, revel in the absolute joy of that absurdly dramatic derby win. There is a cornucopia of celebratory goodness, with music, singing, impressions and magnet conspiracy videos even before the in-depth chat about The Reds victory and the outstanding moments of it. Kam's golden voice, Karl's physics-defying goal celebrations and Guy's impeccable taste in sweeties are just some of the highlights of a show done early in the week and late at night specifically to wallow in the most enjoyable of wins over the blues.

If you have wondered what part of your investment in Peer to Peer loans may be taxable, then this post is for you. I am happy to introduce the tax corner.
The information in this post is provided by my friend and outstanding CPA and tax whiz, Ian Schechter. Here are some common tax questions related to peer to peer lending as an investment. Like with all my posts from other experts, my comments will be in parentheses but is otherwise all in the expert's words. Like with all things involving taxes, each person's situation and amount taxable to them varies. Please consult your own tax advisor, and if you need one then use Ian, he's a pro's pro. Let me know and I will get his contact information to you or you can call Decosimo and ask for him. Tell him I sent you.
by Ian Schechter, Senior Tax Accountant at Decosimo CPA and Business Advisors
What Is Interest?
"Interest" is defined as the charge for borrowed money, generally a percentage of the amount borrowed. The most common example of interest is if you put your money into a bank account, the bank will pay you interest on that money. But, like anything else, the government wants its piece of the pie, and the interest income that is generated by that account is taxable by the government. This does not end at interest income from bank accounts. Most types of interest income are taxed by the government. Those that are not are usually designated as "tax-exempt". [Municipal bonds are an example of a tax exempt investment but most interest generated, including that of peer to peer loans is not exempt]
Why Is My Interest Being Taxed?
As stated above, the government wants its piece of the pie and interest on principal is no different. Most income, in general, is taxed, including the principal on the money that the interest is derived from. For the interest on the bank account example from above, the principal can be wages from your job or profits from other investments. [Since p2p loans are fully amortizing, we are getting some interest and some principal repaid every month but only the interest part is taxable. Note that our statements each month from the lending platforms show us how much interest is received and how much principal is repaid with each payment]
How does the government know how much interest I made?
All companies (and individuals) are required to file Form 1099-INT with the IRS, to tell them how much interest was paid to the investor if the amount of interest income is greater than $10. The investor must furnish their SSN or EIN to the reporting company (bank, brokerage house, peer lending platform etc.) so that the IRS can match the investor's SSN or EIN with the investor's tax return. If the investor does not, the reporting company must withhold 31% of the earnings (called backup withholding). A copy of the 1099-INT is sent to the IRS and the investor, so that the investor knows how much to report. [It is the responsibility of the lending platforms to send us this 1099 form at the end of each year so we know how much to declare as income.]
Where is the interest income reported on my tax return?
For individuals, interest income is reported on the front of Form 1040, line 8a (line 8b is for tax-exempt interest, which must also be reported, but not taxed). If the total interest income is greater than $1,500, an itemized list of interest income from different sources is shown on Schedule B of Form 1040. For C Corporations, interest income is reported on line 5 of Form 1120. For S Corporations and Partnerships, interest income flows through to the shareholders/partners for them to pick up on their individual Form 1040s.
How much of my interest income is taxed?
Interest income is taxed at ordinary income tax rates, so if you are in the 25% tax bracket, interest income will be taxed at 25%. [Ordinary income is like saying marginal income or additional income. If your marginal tax rate (the tax rate on the last dollar you earn is 25% then interest income will be added to that and taxed at the same rate unless the interest income moves you into a higher tax bracket.]

This has become my favorite hoodie!! I need not say more
Super soft and fits great!! I love it for my off days to feel comfortable and cozy! However, if you like baggy sweatshirts, go a size up, this one is fitting so the bottom of the sweater fits snug right above the hip.

text: M&A Needn't be a Loser's Game Mergers and acquisitions are a function of corporate finance which deals with the purchasing, selling, division and combination of different entities in order to in-organically grow a company. Mergers & acquisitions (M&A) occur when a company desires growth without the capability or ability to do so on its own. Many companies use this method of growth in order to improve their own financial performance which can be lacking due to increasing economies of scale, decreased revenue, decreased market share or even increased taxation. As common in marketplace as M&A is, not many firms have been successful in this venture, which is mainly due to the misunderstanding of three major concepts; the Pareto principle, customer centric purchasing and overestimation of returns. The article highlighted three different concepts that many companies overlook when going through the process of mergers and acquisitions. The first concept deals with the Pareto principle, or in most cases commonly known as the 80-20 rule. The Pareto principle states that roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the cases and in finance this translates to 80% of the profits come from only 20% of the their customers. In order to successfully complete an M&A the purchaser has to understand that "a small group of customers typically accounts for all of a company's market capitalization, while another group reduces that value significantly (pg. 72)." If the purchaser main concern is to gain profit from the deal without fully analyzing the company and without any insight as to where the bulk of the revenue is generated from they can misinterpret the information and ultimately make the wrong choice and purchase a bad investment. Without understanding the economic value of these different segments of customers the purchaser will not understand that the company's value is reflected almost entirely due to the aggregate value of their customers. This targeted customer value is important for a purchaser to be aware of but it can also be a pitfall if the company acquisition plan is entirely customer centric. Many "companies buy companies for many reasons, but the most common is to acquire customers (pg. 75)." Merely increasing the number of customers a company has visibility to will not guarantee that they will become more profitable. Focusing on the purchase of quantity of customers and not quality of customers leads to corporate ignorance and what is commonly seen on the market today, failed mergers and acquisitions. However if a company is able to increase their customers while understanding and locating the most profitable ones they can come out of the deal successfully. This is a concept that my current workplace employs when pursing new companies to acquire. Most of the companies we seek to acquire have a different customer base than what our company currently reaches. Purchasing these new companies not only increases our market share but entitles us to enter new industries we alone could not successfully undertake. However, though we are gaining additional customers substantial analysis is completed to guarantee there is no overlap or duplication of duties between our current sales and marketing company and the company we are currently in the works of purchasing. In addition a massive amount of work is done to ensure that the customer base we are undertaking is not only profitable but has the ability to grow. Therefore increasing customers is an important goal but it is not the only goal. Another important concept that is commonly misunderstood is the overestimation of returns. Many companies that have experienced a significant amount of loss for a considerable amount of time believe that if they purchase a rapidly growing company within the same industry they can leverage that into cost savings or increased revenue. This outlook however could not be more incorrect. Take for example the case of The Learning Show More

I think cherry trees seem to bloom about a week later than usual.
The top photo is azaleas in Takao.
Takao is between Kyoto city and Keihoku, so you can see them on the way to Keihoku.
Those azaleas bloom in the same time of year as Keihoku cherry blossoms.
(I haven't gone down to Kyoto for a while. So I haven't checked them. )
This photo was taken on April 3, 2019 in Shuzan Keihoku.
Cherry is starting to bloom.
Maybe from the next week is the best time for a week to see cherry blossom in Keihoku.
Please check the Have an old cherry tree in Satoyama all to yourself to get to know good cherry blossoms viewing spots and restaurant information in Keihoku.

Domestic cement sales in Brazil slipped 2.5 per cent to 4.589Mt in July when compared with the year-ago period when sales reached 4.709Mt, according to the country's cement association, SNIC. Exports increased by a third to 8000t from 6000t in July 2017.
In the first seven months of 2018, cement sales fell 1.7 per cent to 29.969Mt from 30.48Mt in the 7M17. Apparent consumption, which includes imports, decreased 2.1 per cent YoY to 30.1Mt.
Exports from Brazil during the January-July 2018 period edged up to 50,000t from 48,000t, representing a 4.2 per cent rise.
SNIC President, Paulo Camillo Penna, commented that "the sector projected to close 2018 with growth of cement consumption between one per cent and two per cent, but the results accumulated so far have reversed this trend."
SNIC expects sales to fall between 1-2 per cent in 2018, thus registering a fourth-consecutive year of contraction.

Syrris Increases Lead Optimization Efficiency
Product News Mar 26, 2010
Syrris has recently announced the release of Medstere; software designed specifically for medicinal chemists that suggests novel bioisosteres for a lead compound.
Medstere, developed in collaboration with Cresset Group, shortens lead optimization cycles by generating hundreds of non-obvious, drug-like alternatives to a known lead.
Medstere uses the 3D surface and electrostatic properties of molecules (Fields) to assess the similarity of structurally diverse alternatives to the lead compound. This allows novel and unexpected structural scaffolds to be generated which have similar biological activities and properties whilst avoiding conflicts with existing IP. Medstere scores the similarity of whole molecules, increasing the diversity of the results and overcoming the intrinsic pitfalls of scoring fragments only.
The easy-to-use interface creates a range of potential lead molecules from initial 2D or 3D lead structures, and its smart chemistry rules ensure that results are readily synthesizable. Medstere's comprehensive database of fragments, built from commercially available compounds, and the ability to add corporate collections, generates significant structural diversity. Results are ranked and similar replacement fragments may be clustered together to allow rapid browsing. Precise analysis of the similarity of a lead to a suggested bioisostere is possible by viewing the detailed Fields and structures side-by-side.

text: hello,I have a doubt for a very long time. We all know that the word perfect means a COMPLETED action, and the word progressive means a INCOMPLETED action. When the case is like this, how come these two words (I think the name of the tense 'perfect progressive' is a perfect example for an oxymoron) come together and form a tense? Even though an action in progressive stage for a long long time, it is still a progressive action (not a perfected action), right?Please help.Thanks!I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.Reference:https://www.englishforums.com/English/Pr...bmzcdz/post.htmvideo animation
