What is 'Reconciliation'
Reconciliation is an accounting process used to compare two sets of records to ensure the figures are in agreement and are accurate. Reconciliation is the key process used to determine whether the money leaving an account matches the amount spent, ensuring the two values are balanced at the end of the recording period.
BREAKING DOWN 'Reconciliation'
At the end of every month, it is a good idea to reconcile your checkbook and credit card accounts by comparing your check copies, debit card receipts and credit card receipts with your bank and credit card statements. This type of account reconciliation makes it possible to determine whether money is being fraudulently withdrawn from an account, ensures that financial institutions have not made any errors impacting your accounts, gives you an overall picture of your spending, helps you assess whether you're overspending and shows whether you're spending too much on banking and credit card fees. When an account is reconciled, the statement's transactions and ending balance should match the account holder's records. For a checking account, it is also important to know how any pending deposits or checks outstanding affect the statement balance—that is, how much money you really have available to spend.
Account reconciliation is important not just for individuals and households, but also for businesses. Businesses must reconcile their accounts to check for fraud and to prevent balance sheet errors. Businesses typically use accounting software to help them perform account reconciliations. For publicly traded companies in particular, mistakes can have serious ramifications. An auditor who reviews the company's financial statements in accordance with federal regulations such as Sarbanes Oxley could find a material error, which the company would have to publicly disclose as a failure of controls, a material misstatement and/or a material weakness. And without accurate financial information, a company cannot make well-informed decisions.

Towards a Prescriptive Theory of Dynamic Capabilities: Connecting Strategic Choice, Learning, and Competition
This paper explore how firms' choices about capability investments shape competitive outcomes. In essence, while general-purpose management capabilities rooted in such activities as quality management systems and corporate governance may contribute to performance differences across firms, firms also need to develop market-specific capabilities to compete. It is also crucial to manage two types of uncertainty: supply side uncertainty to create new capabilities and demand side uncertainty about the value of those capabilities.

Risk Management―The Revealing Hand
This article explores the role, organization, and limitations of risk identification and risk management, especially in situations that are not amenable to quantitative risk modeling. It argues that firms can avoid the artificial choice between quantitative and qualitative risk management, allowing both to play important roles in surfacing and assessing risks. Managers can then make decisions and allocate resources to mitigate the risks in a cost-efficient and moral manner.

Risk Preferences and Misconduct: Evidence from Politicians
Risk-taking is widely understood to be a vital aspect of leadership, yet it may have a dark side. This study of financial risk-taking among politicians shows risk preferences to be an important antecedent of misconduct. Risk preferences as measured by portfolio choices between risky and safe investments were found to strongly predict political scandals. When employing risk-taking leaders, this suggests a potential tradeoff between performance and misconduct.

Banks' Risk Exposures
Since the financial crisis, there has been renewed interest in documenting how much risk financial institutions are exposed to. This paper shares the important goal of that scholarship: to come up with a method that summarizes banks' positions in a meaningful way so that it will inform the theoretical modeling of these institutions and offer insights for policy decisions. Specifically, the paper measures banks' exposures to macroeconomic risk through their fixed income positions by representing those positions in terms of simple factor portfolios. Factor portfolios provide measures of exposure that are easy to interpret and compare across positions. The results help elucidate the evolution of bank risk taking over the last 20 years.

Wärtsilä and CEVA Logistics were recognized for their successful efforts to reduce CO2 emissions by 60% at Wärtsilä's warehousing operations.
The two companies have been named as winners of the Lean & Green Star Award 2013, a program aimed at encouraging businesses and government bodies to move to a higher level of sustainability by taking measures that not only yield cost savings, but at the same time reduce the burden on the environment.
The achievement has been made possible thanks to the combined efforts of CEVA and Wärtsilä. One of the key factors in achieving the emission reductions was the decision to integrate nine local warehouses into one strategically favorable location in Kampen, the Netherlands. The Central Distribution Center in Kampen is the hub of Wärtsilä Global Logistics Services, and covers the entire material flow from order confirmation until the point of delivery at the customer's doorstep.
The award is given by Connekt, a Dutch agency which, in collaboration with the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment, has created the Connekt Sustainable Logistics program. Under this program, companies that are actively dedicated to making their logistics processes more sustainable, are considered for this prestigious honor. In 2008 CEVA won one of the first Lean & Green Awards for its best practice example of a CO2 friendly supply chain redesign for Wärtsilä.

Abi Titmuss - Celebrities leaving the Riverside Studios after filming for ITV2's 'Celebrity Juice' - London, United Kingdom - Wednesday 6th March 2013
Films about spiritual journeys should be celebrated, as they force us to explore deeper truths about our lives, but this one veers unevenly from comedy to drama to romance as it heads for a less-than-revelatory conclusion. It's nicely shot and some of the acting is decent, but it's difficult to identify with characters we don't like very much, and in the end the film feels as pointlessly gimmicky as its title.
This is the story of London ad executive Callum (Hurn), whose faltering business sparks some sort of internal quest for meaning in life. It doesn't help that his current make-or-break client is a cranberry alco-pop that seems impossible to sell. His bullying colleague Marrlen (Warren) is making his life miserable, so he doesn't really hesitate when he meets the free-spirited Malika (Dray) and she invites him to go camping in her native France. Off they go on a journey into the woods, where Malika separates Callum from his mobile phone, ruins his hand-made shoes and helps him quit smoking, all before sending him deeper into What's Really Important.
Yes, this is familiar stuff, including the usual message about how our lives have become far too busy and interconnected, leaving us unable to understand ourselves anymore. We may be able to identify with this idea, but the film's simplistic, sometimes silly approach doesn't help us explore it in any meaningful way. At least it's nicely shot, with a clever use of the woodland settings, which also appear Callum's dreams of running naked through the forest to practice tai chi by a lake. By contrast, the scenes in his ad agency look tacky and garish, as his colleagues clown around and never actually come up with anything creative. No wonder the business is in trouble!

By Steven Wolford, 6fusion Director of Information Security
Is now the time to make the move to cloud services with all the current IT security concerns? Security and the cloud seems to be the topic of conversation for many businesses and IT groups today. As you prepare for that decision making process around your IT infrastructure security, remember to take a risk based approach to help ensure a sound decision from an information security perspective.
Rather than spend months learning, digesting, and attempting to implement a structured formal risk management framework, regard your strategic security planning with these four pillars of risk management.
What can and should be moved to the cloud? Identify projects, programs or services that have high establishment costs, low utilization, or are expensive to run and operate, as candidates for the cloud. Consideration should be given to services that require rapid turnaround, are seasonal, or have a short usage timeframe but require long lead times for IT infrastructure security and support to be established, as services that will be able to use cloud services with minimal disruptions and risk to the wider business.
What are the risks to moving to the cloud? In addition to IT infrastructure security, privacy and compliance, another very important element of this pillar is the service characteristics that the cloud provides—including reliability, scalability, portability, vendor stability and the backward architectural compatibility that the cloud service can provide.
Evaluate each cloud delivery method independently; SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS will each present a different set of answers to these questions.
How will you mitigate each IT infrastructure security risk to an acceptable level? Put processes into place for the use and consumption of cloud services. Document any service fulfillment obligations that are required by the organization. It is important for security and the cloud to be precise when determining operating processes; they will need to integrate with your processes, especially around change, problem, incident, capacity and availability.
Establish service level agreements (SLAs) and rules of engagement that will assist in managing the performance of cloud service. All obligations and controls regarding information security, authorization to operate, security event monitoring, logging, reporting, cloud service reliability, scalability, portability vendor stability and backward architectural compatibility are required to be discussed and documented to ensure true value can be derived when embracing cloud services.
How are we doing with security and the cloud? Ensure the continued success of the services that have been moved to the cloud and provide the required checks and balances to ensure the integrity of your organization's data assets within the cloud. Acquire, review, and take appropriate action on continuous real-time reporting for the security governance metrics appropriate for your organization. Some examples would include IT services being consumed, established regular reporting cycles for control obligations, independent verification of IT controls; outline SLAs and cloud service provider obligations as well as organizational responsibilities, and documented roles and responsibilities regarding service establishment and closure.
6fusion puts the highest priorities on security and the cloud and have a tremendous amount of experience with securing cloud infrastructure and IT infrastructure in general. We'd be happy to share our experiences and cloud security best practices with you to help your organization. Reach out to us at [email protected] to set up a time to talk.

Let's just nip the conflation of these terms in the bud, shall we?
"MIcro" is big these days. Both microservices and microsegmentation are having and will continue to have an impact on data center architecture, but not necessarily for the same reasons. There's a growing trend in which folks - particularly those with a network background - conflate the two and use them to mean the same thing.
They are not.
One is about the application. The other, the network. T...

This is a no-hype, pragmatic post about why I think you should consider architecting your next project the way SOA and/or microservices suggest. No matter if it's a greenfield approach or if you're in dire need of refactoring. Please note: considering still keeps open the option of not taking that approach. After reading this, you will have a better idea about whether building multiple small components instead of a single, large component makes sense for your project. This post assumes that you...

Before becoming a developer, I was in the high school band. I played several brass instruments - including French horn and cornet - as well as keyboards in the jazz stage band. A musician and a nerd, what can I say? I even dabbled in writing music for the band. Okay, mostly I wrote arrangements of pop music, so the band could keep the crowd entertained during Friday night football games. What struck me then was that, to write parts for all the instruments - brass, woodwind, percussion, even k...

There's a lot of things we do to improve the performance of web and mobile applications. We use caching. We use compression. We offload security (SSL and TLS) to a proxy with greater compute capacity. We apply image optimization and minification to content. We do all that because performance is king. Failure to perform can be, for many businesses, equivalent to an outage with increased abandonment rates and angry customers taking to the Internet to express their extreme displeasure.

Right off the bat, Newman advises that we should "think of microservices as a specific approach for SOA in the same way that XP or Scrum are specific approaches for Agile Software development". These analogies are very interesting because my expectation was that microservices is a pattern. So I might infer that microservices is a set of process techniques as opposed to an architectural approach. Yet in the book, Newman clearly includes some elements of concept model and architecture as well as p...

High Availability with Oracle Database 11g Release 2
In this paper, we review the common causes of application downtime and discuss how technologies available in the Oracle Database can help avoid costly downtime and enable rapid recovery from unplanned failures and also minimize impact from planned outages. We also highlight new technologies introduced in Oracle Database 11g Release 2 that enable businesses to make their IT infrastructure even more robust and fault tolerant, maximize their return on investment on high availability infrastructure, and provide better quality of service to users.
The Pillar Axiom 600 system was designed from the ground up to deliver business-critical, deterministic Quality of Service (QoS) consistent with the business value of the application and its data. It eliminates the requirement to overbuy and underutilize storage to buffer against application interference in a multi-tenancy shared storage system. This allows organizations to buy the capacity they need, scale when needed, and conserve capital in the process—all while delivering consistent performance under load. Read more.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

IRVINE, Calif. — If this year's Phillips 66 National Championships hold any enduring place in Michael Phelps' mind, he might remember them as a needed, albeit painful, slug of reality.
Until the past week, Phelps had treated his four-month comeback as something of a lark, working out when he wished and recapturing his past brilliance in fleeting bursts. He'd said he was happy simply getting back in the pool.
But in truth, Phelps' love of swimming and his fierce need for victory always have been inextricably linked. And at the nationals, he learned his half-in approach isn't good enough to fend off daily competition from this country's best.

Product Description:
Tony Blair's political career shifted between the liberal Labor Party politics that swept him into office and his hawkish stance on international affairs that eventually sank his domestic popularity, yet promoted his image in the world abroad. This look at the man and his time in office examines his policies as well as his personal life and background. Key political figures from the U.K. and the U.S. are interviewed and provide insight into the former prime minister's decisions, especially his role in the war in Iraq and the West's conflict with Iran and the Middle East. While he may have gained and lost supporters throughout his career, Tony Blair as a political figure is not someone who can be pinned down into a singular category, and this documentary does a stellar job of presenting a complex man who weathered complex times.

This book is chronologically the first in his "series" -- his fantasy works are primarily set in a mythical medieval french realm called "Poictesme", and this book is a biography of the founder, Count Manuel, whose motto is "Mundus Vult Decipiti" ("The World Wishes to be Deceived"). It's a sharp book, aimed at sharp readers, and very amusing for what it is (if somewhat bitter). The only problem with it is that he wrote it after writing _Jurgen_, and Jurgen is simply funnier and more entertaining and better -- as good as this book is, Jurgen is the same thing, but better, pretty much across the board, a better satire of contemporary norms, a better puncturing of worldly ideals. So, read Jurgen first; if you really like it and want more, read this one next.
For those who are new to him, much of Cabell's work comprises a vast, sprawling, interlocking & self-referential opus called The Biography of Manuel, the tale of a Medieval hero, his family, his comrades, and his many descendants. As noted by the previous reviewer, these works don't need to be read in any particular order, as they're all pieces of a vast mosaic, one that shifts its focus with the dazzling wonder of a kaleidoscope. This particular volume gives us the life story of Manuel himself, his many curious & occasionally decadent adventures, his encounters with magicians & deities, and his eventual ascendance as the great hero of mythical Poictesme.
I don't want to say much more about the plot, because Cabell's work is as much about the telling of the tale as the tale itself: flowing, witty & perversely droll prose with flashes of extraordinary beauty, which is often immediately punctured by a perfect bon mot. Cabell loves his creation as a bemused god loves his universe, attention darting like a jeweled dragonfly, playing with it as indeed more than one deity does in the pages of the Biography.Read more ›

Lookingglass Cyber Solutions, the leader in cyber threat intelligence management, today announced its HP ArcSight Common Event Format (CEF) certification, allowing customers to integrate threat intelligence and network context from the Lookingglass ScoutPlatformTM into HP ArcSight for correlation and response. This interoperability with the industry-leading security information and event management (SIEM) solution from HP ArcSight provides security analysts across customer organizations with additional contextual information to speed the identification of cyber threats.
The feature-rich API is readily accessible through the HP ArcSight console, allowing security analysts to access the powerful Lookingglass data set without having to operate a separate browser window.
"To combat today's caliber of cyber threats, organizations require broad visibility from all source intelligence to prioritize risk and focus security resources," said Chris Coleman, CEO of Lookingglass. "Lookingglass allows security operations teams to identify, understand and prioritize cyber threats within and beyond the enterprise perimeter, enabling customers with HP ArcSight to integrate valuable internal data with global Lookingglass and premium provider information sets."
"Organizations today must have complete visibility into activity across the IT infrastructure to identify and defend against potential threats and improve their overall security postures," said Frank Mong, vice president and general manager, Security Solutions, Enterprise Security Products, HP. "This extended intelligence from Lookingglass complements the HP ArcSight platform, further enabling organizations to collect, analyze and assess IT security, enterprise security and non-security events for rapid identification, prioritization and response."
Lookingglass' ScoutPlatformTM provides a global view into the Internet and transforms threat data into threat knowledge. This information is essential for security operations teams to identify, understand and prioritize cyber threats within and beyond the enterprise perimeter. The ScoutPlatform offers continuous monitoring capabilities that alert customers to the presence of threats within networks that are relevant to their organization while delivering aggregated, contextualized threat intelligence. Rather than being tied to the antiquated 'stop any and all security events' mindset, Lookingglass' ScoutPlatform enables customers to rapidly determine the relevance of threats and more effectively focus resources, thereby adopting a new cyber security risk approach that tightly aligns business needs with operational realities.
About Lookingglass
Lookingglass Cyber Solutions is the world leader in threat intelligence monitoring and management enabling global cyber threat visibility and risk decision support. With its ScoutVisionTM and CloudScoutTM products, Lookingglass leverages all-source intelligence to provide context and continuously monitor threats far and near, such as the presence of botnets, hosts associated with cybercriminal networks, unexpected route changes and the loss of network resiliency. Lookingglass' outside-in approach accounts for a client's entire enterprise cyber ecosystem including the extended enterprise, and other networks beyond their control. This visibility brings an unprecedented view to help organizations understand their risks and enable a more proactive approach to the management of their overall security posture.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Merry Christmas from The Mougins
The musical Mougin family has a lovely version of Silent Night they recorded for Christmas to share as a free download.
Stephen, who plays guitar and sings with Sam Bush, tracked it in his studio (Dark Shadow Recording) with his talented wife, Jana, and their son, Sammy. Jana played for many years with Fragment in her native Slovakia, and she offers the second verse in Slovak. Sammy takes the 3rd verse, with his parents adding harmony parts.
As you might guess, it's simply precious.
You can download the track from Dark Shadow Recording at no charge.

Clever cruises: Swapping karaoke and junk food for a life on the brain waves
Where normal cruise ships might display glossy modern art in their stairwells, Minerva displays a 14th Century French bishop's robe.
Normal cruise entertainers might tell mother-in-law jokes, but I heard a Minerva speaker get a good laugh from a one-liner about the Etruscans.
Swan Hellenic offers seriously learned cruises for rather well-heeled, well-educated passengers. Its trips are more expensive (but include all food and excursions) and far more, dare I say it, intelligent than any other cruise I've been on.
Sophisticated: A gala dinner on Minerva - entertainment includes opera and jazz
The company's only ship, Minerva, is small and there's no casino, climbing wall or kids' club.
Instead she offers live opera singing, a daily programme of historical lectures and one of the largest libraries afloat, with more than 5,000 volumes.
I joined Minerva for a cruise of the Mediterranean, unsure whether I was going on holiday...or back to college.
I left a few days later having had a wonderfully relaxed time and having learned a lot too. Perhaps it is like university after all.
One bonus of a smaller ship is that the cruise – mine was called Hidden Treasures Of The Adriatic – can call at more minor ports, including in my case Messina in Sicily, Pula in Croatia and Sarande in Albania.
Ship shape: With only 320 passengers on board, the atmosphere is intimate and friendly
At only 75ft wide, Minerva is even small enough to cruise through the spectacular Corinth Canal.
Swan Hellenic tries to select the best local guides in each port, and one knowledgeable guide made a big difference to my walking tour of Lucca in Tuscany.
Even if you don't take one of the tours, you are encouraged to make independent visits at each port – something major cruises often discourage.
Swan Hellenic has a reputation for using eminent guest speakers. Douglas Hurd, Esther Rantzen and Martin Bell have appeared on recent trips.
The four historians on our cruise weren't household names but I was amazed to see that all the lecture seats were taken and people were standing at the back.
History lesson: St Mark's in Venice, one of Minerva's culture-rich stops
The lectures were then repeated for 24 hours on TVs in cabins. For the days at sea, there are plenty of sofas, armchairs and quiet places to read, both inside and outside.
Jogging on deck and the reservation of sunloungers is forbidden and anyway, passengers are too busy playing bridge, doing jigsaws...and enjoying good-quality food.
For the first time on a cruise, I didn't see a pizza, burger or chips. Instead, the chefs adapt menus with fresh local produce and specialities, so we ate lots of excellent Mediterranean seafood and salads.
The entertainment was also aimed at a posher audience and included opera and jazz but no comedians or karaoke.
The atmosphere is intimate and friendly on a ship with only 320 passengers. The restaurant seating plans encourage everyone to mix.
One very elderly lady perhaps epitomised the Swan Hellenic audience. She sat silently next to me through dinner one evening.
When I mentioned a National Trust house I was due to visit on my return, she suddenly looked up from her meal and said: 'Oh yes, my ancestors built that one.'
Travel Facts
Swan Hellenic (0844 822 0679, www.swanhellenic.com) offers a 15-day Venice And The Adriatic cruise
calling at Valletta (Malta), Dubrovnik (Croatia), Korcula (Croatia), Split (Croatia), Trieste (Italy), Venice (Italy), Pula (Croatia), Kotor (Montenegro), Sarande (Albania), Itea (Delphi, Greece) and passing through the Corinth Canal, before arriving at Piraeus (Greece), from £1,900pp including flights, transfers, meals and entertainment.

Very disapointed that in order to "stop the lens down", a dial on the adapter has to be turned and held, else the spring force of the lens opens it back up..... Is this common with all canon adapters or did I buy cheap and get what I paid for.
My jinfinance adapter has a ring that must be turned to free the lens aperture, and it stays in place once turned. No need to hold it down to use the aperture. Does it do that for all your lenses or do your lens happen to have a stiff spring?
