Recent research has found that it can be difficult to find a concierge doctor or a direct primary care physician rural areas such as: Idaho; North Dakota; South Dakota; Louisiana and Mississippi. In many cases, there are less than half-a-dozen practitioners to serve an entire state.
Since the mid-1990′s, states like California and Florida have seen the greatest amount of physicians actively opening and using these new business models. For most of the country, direct primary care and concierge medicine practices are growing and that growth is rapidly expanding in major metropolitan suburbs as well.
Large networks of doctors who have modeled their medical practice after these business strategies have claimed a significant portion of the market share and thus help to keep prices from inflating too high in major metropolitan markets.
Overall, concierge medicine is thriving in metropolitan markets with the majority of incomes remaining the same or increasing slightly. It has been estimated that concierge medicine and direct care physicians number approximately 5,000-5,5000 physicians and/or physician clinics across the U.S.
The top 4 most popular specialties in concierge medicine are: primary care; family medicine; cardiology and pediatrics.
The majority of concierge doctors (approximately 25%) earn between $200,000 – $300,000 per year.
The typical age of concierge doctor is between 40-59 years of age.
Most concierge doctors and direct primary care physicians treat six to eight patients per day.
Female concierge doctors fill up their concierge practices 30% faster than men.
Career satisfaction in the field among physicians also remains high. Only 18% of physicians stated they would not make the same decision again. In previous years, it was 25% but even so, the number overall is low and satisfaction with the business model is high when compared to traditional, insurance-based or managed care medical specialties.
Many people feel they are at the point where going to a Western trained (allopathic) doctor has lead to frustration or no results in improving their level of health and vitality. Working with a holistic medical doctor can be a very rewarding experience and likely to be a more integrated and comprehensive approach then just a General Practitioner. Many holistic doctors are classically trained with an MD from an accedited medical institution but have additional training in pain management, herbal supplements, acupuncture, kinesiology and genetic testing. Most holistic doctor have a few specialties and use an integrated approach.
When you are facing an acute immediately life threatening trauma such as a bullet or heart attack then just going to an emergency room with ER doctors is going to be the wisest and most prudent decision but for on-going chronic health conditions such as auto-immune disorders, digestive issues, allergies, skin conditions, chronic pain and obesity then depending on your outlook and level of insurance, considering a Natural Medicine Doctor which are referred to as many different titles such Naturopath, Integrated Medicine or Holistic Health Practitioner.
There are many factors to consider when searching for a suitable practitioner. The first is one to consider is has the practitioner worked with conditions like yours before. Questions to ask a potential Holistic Medical Doctor are: What kinds of conditions do you treat? What conditions do you treat the most? What kinds of strategies do you use? Do you take insurance? Are you in-network or out–of-network? What if my health conditions don’t progress? How confident are you that you can help me with my health goals? How much do most of your clients need to spend on supplements or additional lab testing?
Most holistic doctors will examine your eating habits, levels of exercise, levels of stress and what kind of work they do. If the doctor does not ask examine these issues in your life then they probably are not truly an Integrated Doctor. If the doctor does not spend more time with you then a typical doctor visit then it also is probably not a great fit if you are truly looking for a holistic approach. A Holistic Medicine Doctor will likely spend more time with you on an initial visit. The typical amount of time for a first visit is one hour but many will spend two hours with you.
Be wary of the doctor that treat every condition and all kinds of people. If you are suffering from low back pain then seek out a doctor that specializes in chronic pain. If you are suffering from a a thryoid condition then seek out a doctor that specializes in auto-immune disorders. You want don’t want a generalist you want a specialist.
You often will pay more or out–of-pocket for this kind of care. Depending on the kind of health insurance and deductibles you have your-co-pays might be similar if you had just gone to an Family Medicine Doctor.
Whatever route you take, you should plan on being very pro-active and self-educated while taking on your health challenges. With Webmd, YouTube and so many other online portals you can learn so much about different strategies for your own health and wellness. Be prepared to ask intelligent questions and be familiar with some of the strategies they might recommend such as changing certain foods you eat and changing your lifestyle.
Have you ever pulled plants from the soil? One can pull facts about medicinal plants from the large store of information on the Internet. This article calls readers’ attention to a few facts about medicinal herbs for dry skin.
The users of herbal dry skin products appreciate the benefits of aloe vera, calendula and comfrey. Those are herbs that are applied to the skin. Yet not all the remedies for dry skin get smeared on the skin. Some essential oils are added to bath water.
In addition, there are herbal dry skin products that are meant to be ingested. Teas that contain chamomile, dandelion or peppermint have been pointed to as a treatment for dry skin. Borage, fennel and calendula are other herbs that have been used to make a skin-healing tea.
Still, not everyone with dry skin can feel safe using a medicinal herb to treat that skin. Women who are pregnant, nursing or attempting to become pregnant should know that scientists have not investigated the degree to which medicinal herbs can affect a developing child.
Someone who is taking medications for some other health problem should speak with a doctor before using any medicinal herbs for dry skin. That advice certainly applies to someone who has recently had surgery. While surgery can dry the skin, it also exposes the body to many chemicals. Patients should not mix those chemicals with the chemicals in some of these herbs.
A person who has hay fever might want to consider an alternative to an herbal treatment. In fact, a person who is allergic to any plant should think twice before trying herbals for dry skin. Only an experienced herbalist, or a botanist, can identify those herbs that belong in the same plant family.
Medicinal type herbs should not be used on small babies. Even adults can be harmed by these, if used in excess.
In light of all the facts above, one can appreciate the need for alternatives to the available medicinal herbs for dry skin. What are those alternatives? Which of those alternatives would most effectively substitute for one of these herbal dry skin products?
A skin care product that can stimulate collagen production is an excellent substitute for an herbal skin treatment. All healthy skin contains collagen. Any healthy skin cell should be able to produce collagen. The absence of collagen in skin can lead to the development of dry skin.
How can skin benefit from the production of collagen by skin cells? Collagen is a fiber-like protein. Think how firm and strong a tight rope can be. That is how firm and strong skin can be, when it contains an adequate amount of collagen.
The reader should not assume that a good skin care product must contain lots of collagen. A good skin care product should stimulate the skin cells to produce collagen. The ability to smear collagen on the skin is not going to aid the healing of dry skin.
In conclusion, a good skin care product should penetrate the skin, so that it can not be washed off the skin. A good skin care product helps the skin to carry-out its normal biochemical functions. The production of collagen is one of those vital functions.
Doctors who practice osteopathic medicine, known as ODs, are the new kids on the block when compared to medical doctors, or MDs. American physician Andrew Taylor Still developed osteopathy and the American Osteopathic School, the first school to offer training in osteopathy, opened in 1892. According to the National Osteopathic Association, more than 10,000 students are enrolled in the 20 colleges in the United States that offer training in osteopathic medicine.
Why Choose an Osteopathic Doctor?
Training to practice osteopathic manipulative medicine is quite similar to the training that medical doctors receive. As undergraduates, both types of doctors graduate from a four year college or university with a degree in one of the sciences. After receiving their undergraduate degrees, potential doctors of medicine and doctors of osteopathy must complete four years of basic medicine in medical school.
After finishing medical school, both types of doctors complete a residency program. Then, they can finally choose a specialty. Like MDs, ODs can become specialists in surgery, family medicine or psychiatry. After completing all of their training, both must be accredited and licensed in the state in which they want to practice.
ODs also receive additional training beyond MDs about humans’ skeletons, muscles and nerves, or the musculoskeletal system. This gives ODs the knowledge that they need to practice osteopathic manipulative treatments, or OMT.
In the past, the differences between ODs and MDs were quite clear. ODs approached the patient as a whole and emphasized preventative care while MDs focused on treating symptoms of illnesses. However, today, the lines between the two types of practices has blurred as both types of physicians want to help their patients stay healthy and prevent illnesses from occurring. The main practical difference between the two types of physicians is that ODs may use osteopathic manipulative medicine on the body as part of a patient’s treatment.
The steps that you would take in choosing an OD are the same as if you were choosing an MD. You would want to pick a doctor who is accredited and licensed, who has a good reputation in his or her specialty and who is covered by your insurance policy. Try and get a reference from someone that you trust and check to see if the physician has been sued or disciplined in the past.
While they are often the most visited physicians in the country, there is an increasing shortage in the number of family practice physicians. The trend began almost 4 years ago, when statisticians noticed that less and less graduating medical students were choosing primary care, or family practice, as their specialization. In a recent survey conducted by Merritt Hawkins & Associates, for the Physicians’ Foundation, it was found that about 150,000 (or half) of the country’s family practice physicians planned to quit practicing or see fewer patients over the next three years. With less family medicine physicians entering the workplace and more physicians leaving family practice, it is sure to create an abundance of available employment opportunities.
Physicians, who are in the phase of choosing a specialty, have been gravitating towards other, more focused, fields of medicine. With the ability to charge a premium and focus on one particular region of medicine, choosing a focused specialty can be alluring and lucrative. Having found their particular niche in medical school, or perhaps during internship, most prospective physicians are choosing to remain within that focus when seeking employment. Family practice treats a broad audience, and a broad knowledge is needed in order to properly treat these patients. While it may not be as enticing, it is often just as rewarding.
What seems to be shocking is the finding that family practice physicians are planning to leave their practices, or reduce their number of patients over the next three years. Many physicians cite frustrations with the current Medicare reimbursement structure. When Medicare does not reimburse the physician for the full cost of the services provided to the patient, the physician is forced to bill the remaining balance to the patient. It is often that these patients are unable to pay the remaining balance because they are elderly citizens living on a fixed income, and many of them do not carry supplemental health coverage. Physicians who are self employed, working as an independent practice, cite that they have experienced a dramatic increase in the required non-clinical paperwork required by Medicare.
We all know how frustrating paperwork can be! With all the complaints filed it’s important to consider that although family practice physicians may be feeling it more strongly, these are concerns that have been voiced by physicians throughout the industry.
With the shortage of primary care physicians comes great hope for those seeking employment opportunities. There is growing availability in almost every area of the country, but specifically rural areas. With patients in great need of finding an established family practice, there are also growing opportunities for physicians looking to start their own practices. Small groups of physicians are opening family practices in farming communities and are finding it difficult to keep up with the amount of patients wishing to be seen. They are able to work together and spread the responsibilities of patient care, hospital rounds and call duties among the participating physicians. Often, they are successful enough to offer salaries and benefit structures that are competitive with urban markets. Additionally, these rural family practices serve the community, not only by providing much needed health care, but also by providing employment for support personnel.

Kale has been a bit “trendy” as far as food trends go because of it being an excellent source of nutrients, which is cool and all, though I admit I don’t always get “food trends.” I’m just one of those people who likes kale. ????
When Jason and I are feeling really lazy, we’ll sometimes buy a bag of kale already washed and chopped, which has been especially helpful during times we need to quickly grab groceries after a long day at work or wherever.
But I don’t really love the prepared bags because they also include those thick, chewy, and fibrous stems, and I prefer to not have them in most of my food (unless they’re braised).
Maybe that makes me a princess, but whatever. I just want those leaves! Especially if I’m eating the kale raw. Kale Caesar salad, anyone?
And that’s why I like to prep my own kale.
While I don’t personally love kale stems in my food, I don’t throw them away either. I save them for vegetable stock!
Start by cutting off the thick stems with a knife and roughly tear the leaves. Rinse the stalks, dry them, and place them in a ziplock to freeze for future vegetable stock-making use.
Now, back to the leaves.
They hold a bit of dirt, so you want to submerge them in cold water, swish them around a bit, and let them sit for a few minutes to allow all that dirt go to the bottom. I like using my salad spinner, though if I’m prepping a lot of kale, I’ll wash my sink, fill that with water, and submerge the greens there instead.
You can repeat this step a couple of times if the kale seems especially gritty. Whether I’m using the sink or salad spinner to soak the greens, I do always use the salad spinner to dry them, because it does a great job at drying.
Once your kale is dry (and make sure it is to avoid quick spoilage), it’s storing time! Line some tupperware or a ziplock with a paper towel (this will help to absorb any excess water) and pile in the kale! Keep it airtight and in the fridge. It should be good for five to seven days.
Don’t cross-contaminate! Remember: cross-contaminating is bad news bears.
Definitely make sure the kale is dry before storing. If the leaves are wet, your kale will go bad much quicker than you anticipated. An alternate method is to prepare the kale without rinsing, so you can instead wash them immediately before cooking/eating. I sometimes do this, but prefer to just do it all in advance.

now, back to the leaves.
they hold a bit of dirt, so you want to submerge them in cold water, swish them around a bit, and let them sit for a few minutes to allow all that dirt go to the bottom. i like using my salad spinner, though if i’m prepping a lot of kale, i’ll wash my sink, fill that with water, and submerge the greens there instead.
you can repeat this step a couple of times if the kale seems especially gritty. whether i’m using the sink or salad spinner to soak the greens, i do always use the salad spinner to dry them, because it does a great job at drying.
once your kale is dry (and make sure it is to avoid quick spoilage), it’s storing time! line some tupperware or a ziplock with a paper towel (this will help to absorb any excess water) and pile in the kale! keep it airtight and in the fridge. it should be good for five to seven days.
don’t cross-contaminate! remember: cross-contaminating is bad news bears.
definitely make sure the kale is dry before storing. if the leaves are wet, your kale will go bad much quicker than you anticipated. an alternate method is to prepare the kale without rinsing, so you can instead wash them immediately before cooking/eating. i sometimes do this, but prefer to just do it all in advance.

UFC welterweight Ben Askren wants to be taken seriously, as would any fighter with two major championships to his credit about to make his octagon debut.
We can’t blame the former Bellator and ONE Championship titleholder for wanting to be more than a faceless “TBA” silhouette next to his first opponent, Robbie Lawler, on the UFC’s web site. It’s the little things, after all, that make a fighter feel respected and want to fight harder.
But, man, we also can’t stop laughing at the fix offered by the UFC’s social media team when Askren complained about it on Twitter. For an account that so often serves as a robotic cheerleader, we love this new sass (via Twitter).
Sorry, Ben, but you walked right into it. Surely you can appreciate a good zing, right? There’s no beef between you and the UFC. At least, not one UFC President Dana White will acknowledge until he’s sitting by the fireplace, puffing a stogie, laughing how he fooled people into thinking he wasn’t trying to get you beat.
The good thing is, you still get to show everyone who you are when you face Lawler at UFC 235. And now we’re looking forward to that more than ever.

During the 2014 Deltron 3030 tour, I bought a lowrider bike that lasted only one day. I donated it to a bike shop Co-op in Brooklyn called Times Up and they sold me, at a discount, a Dahon foldable bike. I’ve been riding it almost every day. I rented a bike in Chicago and Dan The Automator and I rode around the lake; I love how alive I feel when I’m on a bicycle. It’s not only fun but it also brings friends together (like my buddy John Z and me, riding through Manhattan). On top of the fun aspect, it’s always wise to stay in shape on tour (or anytime, really!). If there’s a gym at the hotel, I usually hit the elliptical but I always try to get a ride in no matter what.
Tonight I start a US tour with Juliette Lewis, I always try and explore each stop on our tour and if we have a day off I definitely take advantage and try and bike around. The beautiful thing about being a musician is we get to travel, we get a different worldview when we travel and these experiences inform our own outlook. I've biked around on so many different continents and it's one of the easiest things you can do, but also one of the most fulfilling. So if you have the opportunity, the best way to familiarize yourself with a place you're not familiar with is to bike!

I felt overwhelmed to take part at the Business Networking Meeting that was planned and organized by the Rotarians.
Mr. Rajendran Dhandapani, Founder of Zoho was the Key Note Speaker. In his speech, he articulated the different kinds of business tools. This meet up gave me a wonderful opportunity to explain my business vertical amidst leading Business Rotarians in Chennai.
That was the crux of my speech during the event! One could never get a second chance for making their very first impression! So, what makes the very first impression about your business? That is undoubtedly your online presence encompassing Website, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc. All your customers, prospects, employees, vendors, and associates get to know about your business basically through your online presence of which your website is of prime importance. As the proverb goes: Face is the index of mind, I would revise it for businesses as this: “Website is the Face of any Business”. It is your ‘website’ that ultimately gives the right perspective and understanding about your overall business.
I then went on explaining about JB Soft and our business services including Web Development, Mobile Application Development, Web Application Development, inter alia. And I never missed to share about our thriving Live Chennai portal that receives whopping 1 lakh+ views and counting! This really did put everyone on awe!
The session was a really useful and productive one. A picture of me addressing the gathering is seen above.

The Utah Jazz got their first win of the season Wednesday night. I know, I know, it’s just one win, right? For most teams, yes, but for the Jazz, this is more than just one win. This is for the 25- and 20-point blowout losses. This is all of the frustration from being winless.
I am not naive to the fact stated earlier, but still, for a moment let’s look at the positives of their first win.
On Wednesday, a no-name, D-league player was called up to play for a winless and frustrated Utah Jazz team. He was called to fill a hole so big that it made the Grand Canyon look like the water ditch in front of my grandma’s house. This hole was caused by Jamal Tinsley and John Lucas III, two point guards whose shooting averages and points per game resembled something straight out of a church league. They average a combined total of seven points per game and have been shooting a whopping 27 percent from the field. We won’t even mention their 3-point percentage, because it is almost nonexistent.
In five minutes, Diante Garrett, the former no-name player, scored more points and dished out more assists than those two point guards did in the last seven games. He continued to find the open player for easy scores. The Jazz played like they wanted the win.
When they got down by 16, the game suddenly changed, and they said, “No! We are not going down like this again.” Gordon Hayward showed up, along with favorites Jefferson, Williams and Kanter. On Wednesday night, I had never been more proud to be a Jazz fan.
It is easy to cheer for a team when it is on top, but you find out who people really are when the deck is stacked against you. Let’s look at the production of each player during Wednesday’s game and see why the Jazz won and made me extremely proud to be a Utah Jazz fan.
Enes Kanter. Kantar proved Wednesday night why the Jazz drafted him over other point guards and did so without truly seeing him play. He had a double-double in the game with 21 points and 10 rebounds. The beast was unleashed, everyone cleared the room, and chaos ensued, leading the Jazz to a win.
Richard Jefferson. Jefferson has been struggling all season. On Wednesday, a light flipped on, and suddenly the Jefferson who played for the San Antonio spurs came alive. He scored 22 points on 7-11 shooting. This man deserves the game ball because he is the reason the Jazz won. He hit the big shots and made plays down the stretch when it mattered.
The Jazz will soon host the San Antonio Spurs, and although a win is extremely remote, the monkey has been lifted off our backs, and our home team can get back to doing what they do best: keeping the games close and giving the fans something exciting every night.
I, for one, will be cheering for the Jazz, not because they are the greatest team in the league, but because they are my team. My newfound respect for them requires that I cheer, holler and show them they will always be my team. Go, Jazz!

Easter weekend has passed and everyone is back in the workplace today ready to get back into the weekly grind. If you are just starting your new job though, your entire routine is new to you, and while exciting at first, can be overwhelming and a little stressful as you come down off of the “new job high” and realize that this is now your normal. It can be frustrating to feel less-than-thrilled about your new job when you likely waited a long time, and went through a lot of work, to get it; however, this feeling is totally normal. There are ways you can overcome these feelings of anxiety and stress through when settling into your new position.
So how can you continue to find enjoyment and fulfillment in your career after the “honeymoon” phase is over?
Be realistic in your short and long-term goals. Having goals is a wonderful way to motivate yourself both in the workplace and outside of it in your daily life, but setting goals that are too lofty and unrealistic can be harmful. Set goals that give you something to work toward, both in your day-to-day work and in your career future, but be sure that they are attainable in a reasonable amount of time. In other words, instead of making it your goal to be CEO of your company within a year, work toward a promotion within your own department first.
Record your daily experiences in a journal. Journaling is not only a great way to relieve stress and help you keep your experiences recorded, but it’s also a great way to pick out trends (both positive and negative) in your daily life. When it comes to the workplace, journaling your experiences at the end of each day can help you start to see patterns in the good and the bad parts of your work day. Perhaps you notice that your day seems to go downhill quickly after you have lunch or interaction with a certain coworker. In that case, it might be best to avoid that particular person until the end of the work day or stay away altogether if possible. On the flip side, you might notice that your mood and efficiency improve on the days you take a lunch break out of the office, so consider eating your lunch outdoors, or going somewhere with coworkers during your lunch break, instead of staying in your cubicle.
Ask for help. Finding a “mentor” within your office can be a great way to overcome some of the stress that goes along with a new job. No one wants to appear incapable or unknowledgeable with their work, which means you likely won’t feel free to approach your boss or supervisor when you have a question when starting out in your position. A mentor that is at your own level, or slightly above, can offer support and guidance when you are learning the ropes, and will help you feel more confident as your set out on your new career path. Consider requesting a visit to the office before you begin your job, so you can meet your fellow employees, learn the layout of the office and your workspace, and hopefully find a mentor or two within the staff before your first day.
We hope you can settle into your new position and will continue to enjoy your work long after the excitement and newness of the position has worn off. If you are still on the hunt for a position fitting for you, give us a call. PHR will match you with potential jobs that coincide with your current qualifications and skills, meaning you can get hired faster.

For a third consecutive year, international consultancy WYG has been honoured at the BREEAM Awards Wales winning two awards in recognition of its environmental and project management expertise.
The awards recognise and reward the highest scoring BREEAM buildings in Wales over the last 12 months. WYG won two of the six available awards - the BREEAM Bespoke award for Llandudno Junction and the BREEAM Industrial award for Western Power Distribution Unit.
A BREEAM Excellent rating is a pre-qualification, so the winners truly represent Wales' top examples of sustainable design. The awards are not subjective as each development has been independently assessed and certified.
In order to win an award, each building must have excelled in every environmental category within BREEAM (e.g. from Energy to Ecology) and therefore winners represent a holistic approach to delivering environmental sustainability.
The Welsh Assembly Building, Llandudno Junction is the regional North Wales office for the Welsh Assembly Government, providing a base for staff and public access. Keen to minimise the environmental impact of its facilities, the Welsh Assembly Government set and reached a target of BREEAM ‘Excellent’ for the building. The building makes use of numerous technologies for reducing environmental impact, which may often be seen in isolation in other buildings, but are not normally combined in a single building as in this case.
The Western Power Distribution unit incorporates a production area and associated office accommodation. It is located on the Dole Industrial Estate, north of Llandrindod Wells. This is a modest steel frame building that maximises the use of renewable energy and energy efficient technologies in its design. The building is naturally ventilated and avoids the use of refrigerant in its operation. The site has also seen an increase in flora species numbers as a result of the development.

Cutaneous tuberculosis: a practical case report and review for the dermatologist.
Frankel A1, Penrose C, Emer J.
Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Department of Dermatology, New York, New York.
Cutaneous tuberculosis occurs rarely, despite a high and increasing prevalence of tuberculosis worldwide. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterrium bovis, and the Bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccine can cause tuberculosis involving the skin. Cutaneous tuberculosis can be acquired exogenously or endogenously and present as a multitude of differing clinical morphologies. Diagnosis of these lesions can be difficult, as they resemble many other dermatological conditions that are often primarily considered. Further, microbiological confirmation is poor, despite scientific advances, such as the more frequent use of polymerase chain reaction. The authors report a case that illustrates the challenges faced by dermatologists when considering a diagnosis of cutaneous tuberculosis.

Lancashire’s ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ is proud to be assisting an award-winning international cruise agency to create new jobs.
Founder and Managing Director Laura was crowned ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ at the 2018 Sub36 Awards – an annual event that honours Lancashire’s most influential, innovative and inspiring people aged 36 and under.
Now, Fresh Perspective are joining forces with fellow award winners Cruise1st to assist them with a strategic recruitment drive that will see a further 50 cruise specialists join their ranks.
“Cruise1st are an absolute dream client for us, as we’re venturing into the travel sector for the first time and wanted to assist a company that’s really going places!” said Laura.
Cruise1st, which currently has 90 employees serving its HQ at Salford Quays’ Lowry Outlet, was honoured at this year’s ‘Fastest 50’ – an initiative that recognises the outstanding business achievements of the fastest-growing and most profitable companies across the North of England.
“We are proud to be a thriving business that’s in a position to expand its wonderful team,” said Dale Sourbutts, Head of Call Centres at Cruise1st. “We already have a strong crew in place and are now searching for candidates with experience of the cruise industry – as well as customer service, sales and team leadership – to fill the new roles we have created. Cruise1st’s strapline is ‘Second to None’, so we will be working closely with the new recruits and moulding them into specialists that best represent our brand and values; to do that however, we wanted to work with the right recruitment business from the get-go.
Cruise1st were established in 1999 and have provided high-quality cruise holidays to their customers since then. They have recently launched a Sky digital channel offering all-inclusive and introductory first-time cruises to suit a range of budgets and tastes.
“We especially love that Dale and his team invited us to spend time with the existing crew, so we could get to know what kind of candidate makes for a perfect cultural fit,” added Laura.
“Roles are available for team members who wish to work within the dynamic atmosphere of MediaCityUK or remotely from home, so we are pleased to be offering opportunities to candidates that are both flexible and inclusive.

accounting > Outsourcing Is Picking Pace.
>BPO or Business Process Outsourcing is a very common and mushrooming phenomenon these days. BPO can be defined as the accomplishment of a business task from some outside agency. For instance a company can ask or hire an external agency to maintain its old records and accounts. The phenomenon of outsourcing was not so well established before a decade. Initially some of the relatively small and low grade jobs like old storage record of the company were outsourced in United States. Gradually with the budding success and confidence, valuable and crucial jobs like payroll accounting, human resource tasks ? recruitment, training and development of employees joined the fray.
Outsourced jobs most often involve the ones, which need to be performed on a regular or daily basis. The companies now no more perform such tasks which they used to perform themselves. Like hiring of a consultant company for training of new employees, getting advertisements made from an advertising firm across the seas.
Outsourcing has many benefits. It allows a company to identify and focus on its core competencies. The company can outsource every other task that can be taken up by outside agencies and that requires significant time and energy (like training of new employees, making recruitments, marketing and manufacturing of products etc.). This lends the opportunity to the company to fully concentrate on its core competency.
Along with this the low cost factor is equally important. The companies in US and Europe by outsourcing their jobs in countries like India, Japan and China accrue huge profits in terms of cost saving. Such savings in cost are in the form of cheap and skilled labor, manufacturing or production of the goods etc. This in turn is a result of variation in salary structure across the globe.
Outsourcing proves quite worthwhile and beneficial during the period of slump in a country?s economy. When profits are under threat and it becomes imperative to reduce the costs, outsourcing is perhaps the best way to mutilate the costs without compromising on the good quality of work. Besides this BPO also liberates big companies of labor oriented problems or issues, thereby enabling them to be more focused and streamlined to enhance their work.
There are various sectors in which outsourcing is holding grips. These are Financial sector, IT, Telecommunications, Advertising, Courier Services and Customer Support Services. A case in point can be Spectra mind that undertakes many of the crucial tasks (insurance, telecom etc.) for clients in US and Europe.
But the outsourcing process is not acceptable to everyone due to its complementary disadvantages. People often believe that outsourcing leads to drainage of jobs. It is believed to create an acute unemployment for the qualified professionals of that very nation. Moreover there the threat of delayed work failing to meet the deadlines and targets and most importantly that of leakage of confidential information is always lurking in overseas outsourcing. The companies also do not get to confront or communicate directly with their key clients which makes them all the more dependent on their offshore agencies.
Like every other phenomenon, outsourcing in business too has tail of ethics attached to it. However, the truth is that it is one of the best ways for a company to expand, enhance its growth and minimize the costs. But a company should not be just enchanted by the merits of outsourcing but should also be considerate of its pitfalls.

Jasmine Pearls was known during the time of the Song Dynasty (960–1279); however it was reserved for the Imperial Court. Typically, it employs green tea as the tea base. Hand-rolled jasmine tea made from the most tender tea leaves and best Fujian tea.
In northern China it is customary to serve this tea as a welcoming gesture to guests. It is the local tea beverage of Fuzhou, while flowers are the municipal flower of that city.
Sweet and almost sugary. Very soft, airy mouthfeel. The delicate quality of the flavor is due in part to the leaves used to produce this tea: two tender, tiny new leaves and one plump unopened leaf bud. Made from green tea scented with blooming flowers, they are perfect little gems. Three leaves are hand-rolled into pearls that slowly unfold the rich and smooth sweet floral flavor for an elegant delight.
The Dragon Pearl is a great tasting healthy tea to drink regularly. Researchers in USA found that people who drink green tea regularly have a lower chance of getting cancer or developing heart disease.
I fell in love with this tea because of its full and smooth flavor! This was my first purchase as I enter the world of loose-leaf teas. I was drawn to this tea because of its very smooth but confident aroma in the store.
My favorite tea! The aroma alone is intoxicating. Very soothing, light, & thoroughly enjoyable. I love jasmine tea and mix it a lot with the peach tea. Combined over ice with a slice of lime is awesome.
