RBS insurance arm Direct Line reveals rise in profits
Friday 03 August 2012
RBS insurance arm Direct Line - which will be spun off as a
separate company on the stock market - has revealed a rise in profits
despite worse-than-forecast weather claims worth £40 million.
The division, which owns the Direct Line, Churchill and Green Flag brands, said the wettest April-to-June period since records began in 1910 was behind the surge in home claims in the three months to June 30.
But despite the unprecedented level of claims, the group revealed a 6% rise in operating profits to £219 million and increased the number of its in-force policies by 2% to 20.1 million.
The robust results will reinforce the group's separation plans, which RBS hopes to complete by the end of the year and will see Direct Line traded as a standalone business on the stock market with a reported value of up to £5 billion.
RBS is required to sell the business, which also includes the Privilege brand and broker business NIG, by the end of 2014 in return for its £45 billion taxpayer bail-out.
Direct Line boss Paul Geddes said: "Aside from certain transitional services provided by RBS Group, we have essentially achieved the goal of operating as a standalone insurance company."
RBS Insurance, which is headquartered in Bromley, south east London, and has operations in the UK, Germany and Italy, said it bolstered its competitive position after securing a five-year contract with Sainsbury's Finance to provide customers with home and car insurance.
The business has introduced a new management system to deal with motor claims at Churchill, Direct Line and Privilege, as well as new home claims at Churchill, to improve efficiency.
Direct Line said net claims fell 18% to £1.2 billion in the period as the bad weather claims were offset by the exit of the personal line broker business and reserves released under the transformation plan.
The sale of RBS Insurance is part of a disposal programme imposed on the bank by the European Union. It has already agreed the sale of more than 300 UK branches and its 51% stake in RBS Sempra Commodities.

Firms pay pounds 100 for Labour policy seminars
Monday 06 April 1998
The organisations, which in the past might have feared the consequences of Labour policy, are now being invited to contribute. For example, McDonald's is believed to have made representations recently on the minimum wage.
At a seminar last week in the party's Millbank headquarters, Tony Blair's Parliamentary Private Secretary, Anne Coffey, and the head of the Labour Party Policy Unit, Margaret Mythen, explained policy-making in the party and how it interacts with government.
Those invited were told they would gain a "unique opportunity to discuss and gain an understanding of our new policy development process", Afterwards, they were invited to attend seminars on issues such as health, home affairs, trade and industry and the economy.
They have also been invited to a "special corporate event" at this autumn's party conference in Blackpool. This includes reserved tickets for Tony Blair's speech, seminars and discussion groups on policy and a reserved place at the conference gala dinner. Last year's package cost pounds 750.
The list of those in attendance at a policy seminar last week - described on the invitation as "corporate affairs executives and representatives of public affairs companies" - included Tesco, Railtrack, the Post Office, British Airways, the Food and Drink Federation, National Westminster Bank and The Stock Exchange.
Those who attended were also invited to buy into the "Labour Party Policy and Information Service," through which they can receive papers relating to the new National Policy Forum, which will shape the party's manifesto for the next election.
Michael Prideaux, director of group public affairs for British American Tobacco, said the seminar was attended by a representative of its financial services businesses because the cigarettes it made in Britain were all sold abroad. They would have been particularly interested in the reform of the Welfare State, he said.
"The point about policy-making is always to be able to discover what is being contemplated early enough in order to contribute to it," he said.
Others were unimpressed, though. A senior trade union source said the links were bound to cause a conflict of interest, with the demands of business leading to a watering down of party policy.
"The more money they get from other people, the less they need from us. And the less they get from us, they less they need the link with us," he said.
A Labour spokeswoman said the National Executive Committee had given its full support. The party wanted all types of organisations, including trades unions and voluntary groups, to play a part in policy-making.

Iftar must-haves: sweet and savoury
People from different nationalities share their favourite food preparations during Ramadan
- Image Credit: Supplied
- Lentil soup.
Iftar is about foods that have tradition, memories and good health, say the six women that The weekend tabloid! spoke to. They talked about what they considered the absolute must-haves in their homes.
Farhana Zaman, a Bangladeshi national, said: "I make fresh dahi badeh [fried lentil dumplings soaked in sweetened yoghurt] every day for iftar in Ramadan.
"Yoghurt is a major part of the dish and it is good for health. When the chaat masala [a mix of tangy spices] and black pepper are added to it, the mix of sweet and spicy tastes make it the best dish for iftar."
At times, the 25-year-old also makes vegetable fritters or pakoras for iftar, a dish common in the subcontinent.
Syeda Maheen Jafri, a Pakistani national, also likes to make fritters. She said: "My family and I eat pakoras for iftar, daily. Sometimes, it is cheese pakoras and at other times, it is mixed vegetables or green chilli pakoras.
"Along with pakoras, we also make dahi phulkia [dumplings in yoghurt], fruit chaat [fresh fruit with spices] and choley, or spiced chickpea curry. All of these food items are a must for iftar every day."
Moving away from fried dishes, it is important for Lubna Tanveer, an Indian national, to have soup every day. A 31-year-old homemaker, she said: "For iftar, I make fresh chicken or oat soup every day for myself and my husband. Soup is a healthy dish because it fills the stomach."
Nisreen Bashnak, 28, a Lebanese national, gives precedence to salad. "I make fattoush every day for iftar," she said. The preparation is made from lettuce, vegetables and toasted pieces of pita bread, tossed in a sweet and tangy dressing.
Bashnak emphasises the health value of the dish. She said: "Since it includes vegetables and herbs, it is a healthy dish for iftar." Sometimes, she also cooks vegetables or chicken and rice for iftar.
Aisha Abdul Noor Al Janahi, a 30-year-old Emirati, has two dishes that are a must for iftar. One of them is harees.
Harees is prepared by cooking boiled, cracked, or coarsely ground wheat and meat or chicken. Its consistency is usually like that of porridge. Aisha said: "I make this food because my family and I need a chicken or meat dish daily for iftar."
In addition, she also enjoys making arseeyah, a rice and chicken dish.
While many focused on the savoury, for Yemeni national Asma Abdul Rahman Ali Bahassan, luqaimat is a must for iftar. She said: "This is a sweet dumpling, which is fried and soaked in date honey or sugar syrup."
The 31-year-old added that she tries to bring sweetness into her family's day by making fresh dumplings daily for iftar.

Ireland appeal Flannery ban
February 24, 2010

Ireland have chosen to appeal the six-week suspension given to hooker Jerry Flannery for his dangerous lunge on France winger Alexis Palisson.
The Irish camp are hoping to have the length of the ban reduced by an independent Six Nations appeals committee, which will be convened next week. A cross appeal has been lodged by the Six Nations disciplinary officer, enabling the committee to increase the length of Flannery's suspension if deemed appropriate. Flannery pleaded guilty at the original hearing held in Dublin last Wednesday.
The Munster hooker admitted he had deserved a red card for scything down Palisson in the 33-10 defeat in Paris on February 13, with the France back subsequently limping out of the game with a dead leg. The disciplinary panel found Flannery had been reckless but not deliberate in his actions and decided the offence was mid-range in its severity.
Flannery's plea and the remorse he showed for Palisson's injury persuaded the panel to rein the suspension back from a potential eight weeks. However, it still ended his Six Nations and Ireland believe it should be reduced given the act was, in the words of head coach Declan Kidney, "awkward rather than deliberate".
Rory Best of Ulster has taken over the hooking duties for Ireland in Flannery's absence, and will start Saturday's meeting with England at Twickenham.

Delhi Gang Rape Aftermath: Right-Wing Party Hands Out Knives To Women For Self-Defense
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Palash R. Ghosh | January 26, 2013 3:17 AM EST
A far-right, nationalistic political party in India has taken an old-fashioned, low-tech step to protect women from rape and sexual assault – they are providing kitchen knives and chili powders as a defensive weapon.
The controversial, right-wing Shiv Sena has handed out the items to women in Mumbai. one month after the death of a gang-rape victim in Delhi galvanized a national movement to protest India's abuse of its women.
According to Reuters, officials of Shiv Sena, which is allied to the principal opposition party, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), distributed 21,000 knives which three-inch blades. They plan to hand out 100,000 in total. (They also provided bags of chili powder, which are designed to be thrown into the eyes of would-be attackers, like a cheaper form of Mace).
"This is a symbolic gesture," said Shiv Sena spokesman Rahul Narvekar.
"It's only to pass a signal to eve-teasers [sexual predators], anti-social elements and perpetrators of crime against women that women are empowered and they can take care of themselves."
Ajay Chaudhari, a Shiv Sena member who is running the knife give-away, reportedly told the party's own newspaper Saamana: "Don't be afraid of using this knife if someone attacks you. We have set up a team of nine advocates to protect you from any potential court cases that may arise."
Agence France Presse reported that Chaudhari explained to supporters: "The way you cut vegetables, cut the hand of the person who touches you the same way."
Given the massive publicity given to the Delhi rape case and subsequent stream of protests, women who take the law into their hands against rapists will likely gain much sympathy from a weary public. Indeed, a government commission that studied ways to reduce violence against women suggested last week that females who kill their rapists should be qualified to plead self-defense.
However, local police in Mumbai are concerned about the sudden influx of knives in circulation and threatened to take legal action against the Shiv Sena party.
According to The Asian Age, a Mumbai police spokesperson named Ambadas Pote said: "We will examine the knives and study the issue before initiating any legal proceedings."
Shiv Sena is an extremely polarizing entity in India -- founded by the late Bal Thackeray, the party had long campaigned for the rights of ethnic Maharashtrians in Mumbai in opposition to migrants from other parts of India. Later it embraced a pro-Hindu nationalist position to appeal to a national constituency.
Shiv Sena, which espouses a virulently anti-Muslim, anti-Pakistani and anti-Western philosophy, has been involved in many incidents of intimidation and even physical violence over the decades.
Meanwhile, a blogger for Avaaz, a global human rights activist organization, warned that rape is the fastest growing crime in India and that the country needs to completely overhaul its mindset regarding women.
Alaphia Zoyab said that incidents of rape have soared by 875 percent over the past forty years.
"Last month, a survey showed that 92 percent of men in Delhi knew someone who had harassed or sexually assaulted a woman," she wrote.
"The good news is we know what can work to change people's attitudes. Huge education drives have slashed HIV infection rates in this country and across the world…. India has shown it can conquer seemingly insurmountable problems - take polio, which was almost eradicated in two years. Now it's time to harness the outrage over what happened on that Delhi bus to cure the epidemic of violence against women."

While ActivaTSP configuration DIALOG allows for a single line configuration, you can configure activatsp to handle a number of lines via the registry.
Confuration is stored in the HKLM/software/activa/activaTSP registry folder.
Create or edit a DWORD value "numLines" and set it to the number of lines (for example: "10")
Create or edit STRING values: "dn1", "dn2", ... (dn0 is first 'line dn' and is what you see through configuration dialog).
Optionally you can also set calleridname1, calleridname2, ... STRING values
You will need to restart activatsp after editing the registry.
"dn0" = "311"
"dn1" = "312"
"dn2" = "SIP/313"
"dn3" = "SIP/314"
"numLines" = 4
This will enable a tapi application to open tapi lines "311", "312", "SIP/313" and "SIP/314".
This could though be quite a big job in a production enviroment with a lot of extensinons.
Couldn´t there be a wildcard, so that Line 1 /dn0 ="*" ?, that is it gives the output regardless of what Line is getting a call..
Unfortunately tapi does not work this way. Tapi LINES must be known and "named" so a tapi app can select wich windows tapi lines wants to monitor. So we don't see a way to let a tapi line receive 'wathever'.
Anyway we plan to allow dn with some form of regular expression or wildcard so meking easier to setup line configuration.
We also experimented to use AMI to list all extensions in the asterisk dialplan but we feel this may give 'too noise' and we feel a regular expression or wildcard will be enough.
David La Monaca
What about using multiple CONTEXTS? I have a group of users each with his own DN number, but two of them must use a different context string. Is this possible using Windows register? thx.

With one of those last minute calls I dipped my toe back into the world of nightlife photography with the opening of Engineers Roof Top bar, which is pretty cool as it's a little different than other stuff going on in Christchurch these days. Check the ret of the album on their facebook

For my third year working with Rolleston Square on their invite / poster design for end of year drink I took the idea of the square a little further and went a touch more contemporary while still working along with what I had done with them before.

I've been waiting a while to get hold of this mag as it got sent out a while back but I've been moving around so much I didn't get it sent to my home address. The Quake City Rumbler boys had been hit up by this Australian mag and asked me to come shoot so while here for a few days I got some stuff and we were rewarded with a twelve page spread, definitely the biggest I've had in a single article. Get your hands on issue five where you can, I think Melbourne or check what they are up to at www.tankmoto.com

After a few years of coming back to the CHILL Series it's nice that something is always different but the weather patterns this year were unexpected, but at least we got good sun on the second day and the young crew is really crushing it. New Zealand skiing has a really strong depth to it right now and every time I'm at a mountain I get reminded of it, either just riding a big rat pack or watching Hank Bilous send it for this comp.
Also Cam and Tom tried their hand at some infomercials, I think they need work but could be fun for next year.
August 24th, 2014
This year the format is all new, just to make it to the comp we have spent the past few weeks with our team of Chalrie Lyons, Will Jackways and myself. It's kind of a strange situation with very few teams having a completely new edit such as we have but it's all just a game to see who the two teams that will get to fly at Mt Cook are so I have to ask you to help out and throw a vote our way over at http://worldhelichallenge.com/2014/08/the-way-of-the-lyon/

It's quite nice watching how many people like your shots when they get shared around by the big guys and stoked that those at Volcom International are even looking at my work.
August 5th, 2014
It's been quite some time since we finished an epic two month journey of shooting a lot of fresh snow and with this snow year it feels even longer ago but after the release of the Monster Energy piece I talked with Will and we felt there were a bunch of shots we both liked so I've cut this as a hope to fill in a few pieces which may have not been seen in the first cut that was as Monster does and as a majority. snow-porn.
July 23rd, 2014
For a decidedly white day it was a rather fun and mellow comp and for my first time working with Volcom a good chance to get a little more weird on the logo animation.

After seeing my son's school team train with Keith, I had a session with him last week and found it very useful and intuitive and I hope the start of a steady improvement in my race times... I would recommend to any serious runner who has not had any coaching, that you do so with Keith
I thought running was putting one foot in front of the other quickly and just going hard. So wrong! After one session with Keith I now understand the principles and mechanics of a good stride and how balance, take off and landing are my new goals. Less effort, more speed and less wear and tear on the knees is making my return to running even more fun. Keith's coaching style is very informative, motivating and supportive. His follow up service is brilliant with drills, exercises, tutorial videos and other tips that's got me fired up. My before and after videos would do Jenny Craig proud!
After taking up running a few years ago my times became stagnate and it didn't get easier as my legs were constantly injured and sore. A month ago I was introduced to Keith; his knowledge and skill identified my problems straight away and his straight forward approach then allowed me to see the issues for myself. With a basic plan and lots of hard training I have been able to lower most of my PB's over various distances. Anyone interested in running needs to spend some time with Keith, it's essential!!
One-to-one coaching is perhaps the best way to identify ways you can improve your running technique.
Whatever your current running ability, better technique will help you run smoother and with less effort. That means you can run further/faster with the same effort, and it will also decrease the possibility of you getting a running injury.
Although my main aim with most clients is to improve technique I do of course pass on knowledge and ideas on all aspects of running - a collection from my many years of sports teaching, and training with some of Australia's best athletes plus racing at State, National and International competitions.
I introduce clients to barefoot running when possible as it encourages good technique - it has helped me to stay strong and largely injury free. I encourage a gradual transition towards barefoot training and increased use of minimalist shoes where this can be done safely. See more on barefoot running here. Interesting article in "Podiatary Today".
"How one runs probably is more important than what is on one's feet, but what is on one's feet may affect how one runs." Dr. Daniel Lieberman
I also point my clients towards running clubs, running groups, and training squads depending on their needs and preferences. It is much easier training with a group of the right level - and when you outclass them you can always move up to a faster group!
Technique changes must be introduced gradually to avoid injury and you must be prepared to reduce the length and intensity of your runs and gradually build up while you build up strength in new areas. If you are on a training program or are preparing for a race then you will need to forgo your short-term goals in favour of the long-term benefits of running more efficiently.
I came from a Downhill skiing background and spent 25 years teaching, racing and running my own ski school in Scotland. I started running in 1985 and ran on and off until coming to Sydney in 2000 at the age of 45 with a 10k PB of 36:36 achieved many years before. After 3 years gradually improving from my first Australian 10Km race time of 43min to a PB close to 36 minutes I hit a brick wall and sought help from a coach in 2003.
Since then, with the considerable help and the fantastic support of my coach Sean Williams, consultation with a dietician and analysis from a bio-mechanic, I have continually improved my times with 35 State age-group records and 15 Australian age-group records (some more than once), and 5 World age-group records.
Top 50 City to Surf (2009 and 2012 [age 57])
Double gold in the World Masters Games 2009
(1500m and 5000m)
Quadruple gold in the World Masters Athletics Games 2011 at Sacramento
[8km XC, 5000m, 1500m (WR), Marathon (2:43:07)].
My 10K time is now down to 31:51.86 (track - 2011).
3000m M55 World Record Video (At Sydney Olympic Park, NSW State 3000m 2010)
1500m M55 World Record Video (At World Masters Athletics Games, Sacramento 2011)
The changing foot action is due to the foot connecting with the moving ground. Note where the foot lands in relation to the hips and head, and the way the hips rise immediately after the foot lands.
Most of the force applied by the runner is to raise the hips UP and the foot never lands in front of the body.
There is slightly more forward tilt than normal as the treadmill is inclined a few degrees
Also more forward tilt during the acceleration, less during the deceleration

London - Former Wales flyhalf Stephen Jones will retire at the end of the season and join the coaching staff at English Premiership club London Wasps.
The 35-year-old, who played a record 104 times for his country, joined Wasps last year and has played a major role in reviving the team's fortunes.
"I feel incredibly lucky to have played for some fantastic sides down the years and feel the time is right for me to make the transition into coaching which is what I have always wanted to do," the former Scarlets and Clermont Auvergne pivot told his club's website (www.wasps.co.uk).
"There is an opportunity for me to do that at London Wasps and I am very excited about the next step of my career.
"I also feel honoured to have pulled on the Wales and British and Irish Lions shirts and I appreciate everyone involved in those sides as well as the supporters who have been there and backed me throughout my playing days," added Jones.
"I am taking with me some incredible memories and experiences."
Jones, a superb goalkicker and tactician, scored 970 points in 110 Tests including six for the Lions in 2005 and 2009.
"I always thought Stephen would make an excellent coach and everything I have seen of him this season backs that up," Wasps coach Dai Young said.
"It is sad to see him retire but what we are losing on the field we are gaining off it. I have always admired Stephen's tactical nous and I think he will be an excellent member of our coaching team.
"In the meantime we have some massive games coming up and Stephen is going to play a big part as a player in the coming months," added Young.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - The state Department of Natural Resources is warning Fourth of July revelers that most fireworks are illegal in state parks and forests.
Agency officials say the only fireworks allowed in the parks and forests are sparklers and snakes. But they say rangers don't want to see them, either, because they're fire hazards. They also say that fireworks can produce high concentrations of chemical particles that can lower local air quality for hours.
Citations can run as much as $200. Anyone who starts a wildfire in Wisconsin is liable for fire-fighting costs as well as damages. Parents of children who start fires by playing with fireworks also are liable for costs.

Police searching the home of a British family found shot dead in the French Alps last week evacuated neighbouring properties after saying they had discovered unspecified items that had caused them concern.
Television footage showed a bomb disposal vehicle outside the home of Saad al-Hilli, the Iraqi-born British engineer who was shot twice in the head along with his wife, her mother, and a passing French cyclist.
British media report that the alert is over and a cordon around the house has been lifted.
French media had reported that British police were focusing their investigation on Hilli's work as a mechanical engineer.
Detectives have refused to comment on British media reports that Hilli was known to security services and was under police surveillance during the second Gulf war.
Earlier officers had sealed off the road in the leafy village of Claygate in Surrey, southwest of London, and began removing neighbors living close to Hilli's £1 million (NZ$2 million) detached house.
"Surrey Police can confirm that due to concerns around items found at the address in Oaken Lane, Claygate, officers have extended the cordon surrounding the property," a spokeswoman said.
"Neighbours in the immediate area are being evacuated," said the spokeswoman who gave no details as to what had caused the alarm. "It's happening quite rapidly and we're trying to get a grasp on what we're dealing with," she said.
Today's search was the latest development in a shooting on a remote forest road last Wednesday near the French village of Chevaline that has dominated media headlines in Britain and generated much speculation as to the motive.
Hilli, a mechanical engineer who contracted with Surrey Satellite Technology, a subsidiary of aerospace and defence firm EADS, and the other victims were shot twice in the head in what appeared to be execution-style killings.
His daughters, aged seven and four, survived the attack. The oldest girl Zainab, who suffered serious skull fractures, came out of a coma on Sunday and will be questioned as to what happened as soon as she is able to, a French prosecutor said.
Her younger sister Zeena survived the shooting unscathed and both girls are under police protection.
French State Prosecutor Eric Maillaud said a family feud over money was one of several motives still being considered as a motive for the murders and Hilli's brother had been formally questioned. The brother has denied any dispute with Hilli.
French media also said British police were investigating Hilli's work rather than his family.
He helped to design the kitchen of the European Airbus aircraft, specializing in computer-aided design and mostly working from his home in Claygate, according to Julian Stedman, his accountant since 2004.
