Main barriers were: There was lack of indicators to assess the current situation, making it difficult to evaluate the success of cost reduction initiatives. Vertical organization based on departments, not horizontal. This might hinder the efficiency of interdepartmental processes. Responsibilities were unclear and little teamwork. Limited scope in operating strategy and value generation, focusing inside Fira, without considering the process of suppliers with whom we work. Mindset reluctant to change, with a tendency to do things in the manner prescribed and not to question the status quo. Step 3.

4. An interpolation device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the two analog signals to be interpolated are shifted in phase by 90�, and wherein said interpolating means comprises:a look-up table including interpolation data corresponding to one of the four quadrants of a Lissajous figure formed at a time when the analog signals are disposed on an x-y plane; and quadrant converting means for providing interpolation data for others of said quadrants of said nissajous figure by utilizing the data stored in the look-up table. 5. All interpolation device as claimed in claim 4, wherein said quadrant converting means comprises means for executing a quadrant conversion of the data in the look-up table such that the logical value of the most significant bit or reference bit of each of the digital signals is detected and a part of the digital signal except for the most significant bit or reference bit is inverted or not inverted and exchanged according to the detected logical value.
In case where interpolation is executed by using a phase modulation signal, is is necessary to provide a high-frequency interpolation clock and a high-speed logic circuit. Further, since the allowable limit of the response frequency must be smaller than �5% of the carrier frequency to be balanced-modulated, this type of the interpolation method is not preferable to be applied to an interpolation requiring a high-divisional interpolation and/or a high speed response.
Analog signals outputted from an encoder are periodic signals which are shifted in phase by 90� and form a relationship of a sine wave and a cosine wave. The amplitude of each analog signal is digitized through an A/D converter. The digitized data is inputted to a ROM in the form of the look-up table 108 of the data and the lower and upper address. Therefore, by using this look-up table, the interpolation of the data is executed.
FIG. 18A shows base data stored in the ROM. Since it is assumed that the base data stored in the ROM is for quadrant I, 1/2π rotated data of quadrant II are equivalent with those of quadrant I. Therefore, the data of quadrant II may be represented as shown in FIG. 18B. Herein, since the vertical axis is arranged so that the number is increased from upper to lower, it is necessary to invert these data. Although in FIG. 18A the horizontal axis corresponds to cosine and the vertical axis corresponds to sine, in FIG. 18B the horizontal axis corresponds to sine and the vertical axis corresponds to cosine. Therefore, it is necessary to replace these axes. Since a 180� rotated quadrant III is equivalent with quadrant I, quadrant III is represented as shown in FIG. 18C. However, the increasing directions of both of the x-axis and the y-axis are the inverse of those of the quadrant I.
A 270� rotated quadrant IV is equivalent with quadrant I except that the increasing direction of the horizontal axis of FIG. 18D is the inverse of that of FIG. 18A. Accordingly, it is necessary to inverse this direction. In addition, although FIG. 18A shows that the horizontal axis is cosine and the vertical axis is sine, FIG. 18D shows that the horizontal axis is sine and the vertical axis is cosine. Further, it is necessary to distinguish four quadrants from the uppermost bit of the address bits.
As a method for substituting the interpolation data of sine and cosine waves for one-cycle (360�) by data for 1/4 cycle (90�), for example, considering the Lissajous figure formed on the x-y plane by the data of sine and cosine waves whose data length is 10 bits, in order to represent the four quadrants by quadrant I on the Lissajous figure, the data except for the most significant bit is changed according to the most significant bit of the data of the sine and cosine waves so that the address changing direction of the other quadrants corresponds to that of quadrant 1. More particularly, when the most significant bit is 0, the data except for the most significant bit is inverted. This also occurs when the data of the sine and cosine waves of the even numbered quadrant are exchanged with each other.
Interpolation data=arctan (lower address/upper address)�interpolation number/2π, wherein lower address ≧ upper address.
Interpolation data=interpolation number/4--arctan (upper address/lower address)�interpolation number/2, wherein lower address<upper address.
FIG. 12 shows a wave form graph for explaining the above mentioned contents the case where the number of interpolation is an odd multiple of 4 (12 distribution 4�3=12). The upper two waves show desired wave forms of phase A and phase B. The intermediate two waves show wave forms read from the ROM for the look-up table. The lower waves show corrected waves of phase A and phase B. The lower two waves shown in FIG. 12 are comprises of first to fourth sections divided by a broken line. In the first section positioned at the left hand side on FIG. 12, the sine and cosine waves are represented by data from the look-up table as it is. In the second section, the phase A signal is replaced by the previous phase B signal, and the phase B signal is replaced by the inverted value of the previous phase A signal. In the third section, the phase A signal is replaced by the phase B signal at the second section, that is, by the inverted value of the phase A signal at the first section, and the phase B signal is replaced by the inverted value of the previous phase A signal. In the fourth section positioned at the right hand side, the phase A signal is replaced by the inverted value of the previous phase B signal, and the phase B signal is replaced by the inverted value of the previous phase A signal.
FIG. 13 shows wave forms in the case where one cycle is split into 24=8�3 which is of an odd multiple of 8. The upper two wave forms denote desired wave forms. The intermediate two wave forms denote wave forms which are simply comprised of the data from the look-up table in the ROM. The lower two wave forms denote corrected wave forms of the intermediate two wave forms by inverting the previous self value at every section.

The lifestyle changes that can cut type 2 diabetes risk - BBC News
By Dr Rangan Chatterjee Doctor in the House
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-40123846
Image copyright BBC/Doctor in the House
Type 2 diabetes affects approximately 3.5 million people in this country and is thought to cost the UK around £20bn per year in both direct and indirect costs.
This is a staggering amount of money spent on a condition largely caused by our lifestyle choices and environment.
On Doctor in the House, I try to help 39-year-old La-Vern. Her mother, Doreen, already has type 2 diabetes and is worried that La-Vern is going down the same route.
La-Vern is a busy, single mother who does two jobs and, as a result, is exhausted and stressed.
She has not yet crossed our diagnostic threshold where we would say she has type 2 diabetes, but her blood sugar and fasting insulin levels are not "normal" either. Her results suggested that she was on the road towards type 2 diabetes.
This is an ideal opportunity to practise true preventive medicine. Type 2 diabetes is a late event. By the time you get a diagnosis, things will have been going wrong in your body for many years.
La-Vern's symptoms of fatigue have already affected her quality of life. However, her lifestyle is not only causing her to feel unwell, but is driving her towards a type 2 diabetes diagnosis further down the line.
This is one of the big problems in medicine today - things are often said to be black or white, normal or abnormal - but what about optimal?
I am an advocate for trying to recognise problems before they happen. Why should we wait for people to get a type 2 diabetes diagnosis before we take action?
Type 2 diabetes is often viewed as a dietary illness. That is partially true as diet is a big contributor.
However, other lifestyle factors such as insufficient sleep, long-term stress, and inappropriate physical activity all contribute, as well. For many of my patients, addressing these factors can be as important as their food choices.
Image caption La-Vern's mum Doreen already has type 2 diabetes and worries that her daughter will also develop it
Most cases of type 2 diabetes are caused by a condition called insulin resistance.
Insulin is an important hormone and one of its functions is to keep your blood sugar tightly controlled. If you are in optimal health and not insulin resistant, a sugary bowl of breakfast cereal will cause your blood sugar to go up. Your body will then release a little bit of insulin to bring it back down again.
As your health deteriorates and you start to become insulin-resistant, you need more and more insulin to keep your blood sugar under control. Your body has become deaf to insulin's sound.
It is a little bit like alcohol - the very first time you have a drink, it may only take a few sips of wine to feel tipsy but as you become accustomed to drinking more and more, you need more and more alcohol to have the same effect - your body has become resistant to the effects of the alcohol.
This is similar to what happens in insulin resistance.
This raised level of insulin can itself cause many problems. And when the insulin can no longer keep your blood sugar under control - at that point, we give you a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.
As I explained in a TED talk, there is a problem with blood sugar in type 2 diabetes, but it is not a blood sugar problem. By the time your blood sugar goes into the diabetic range, things have been going wrong in your body for many years.
The four areas of treatment I focused on with La-Vern are the same four areas I look at with almost all of my patients: food, movement, stress and sleep. Problems in these areas can all contribute to the development of insulin resistance.
The main change I made with La-Vern's diet was to cut out highly processed junk food. Because of her insulin resistance, she was unable to efficiently process foods that quickly converted to sugar in her body, so I advised her to eliminate refined carbohydrates in her diet such as sugary breakfast cereals, white rice and bread.
I encouraged her to increase her intake of healthy, natural fats such as avocados, nuts, and olives as well as healthy protein sources such as salmon and anchovies.

Image caption Being on your phone late at night can affect your sleep
La-Vern had trouble sleeping and this was contributing to her exhaustion. However, sleep deprivation can also cause insulin resistance. Like many of us, La-Vern was glued to her smartphone every evening. This late-night usage can cause major sleep issues. There are two main reasons for this:
Light - The blue light emitted from smartphones is not seen in nature in the evening. This blue light can suppress your body's melatonin levels, a critical hormone that gets you to sleep.
Switching off - An inability to switch off is one of the biggest causes of sleep disruption. Staying "on" while mindlessly scrolling through social media feeds and emails is a sure-fire way to keep your mind active. This in turn can affect your sleep.
I advised La-Vern to switch off all electronic screens at least one hour before going to bed. I also gave her some amber glasses to wear in the evening to reduce the amount of blue light hitting her eyes.
These small changes had an immediate impact - her sleep improved and her energy levels increased.
3. Exercise and stress
La-Vern is a very typical case of what I see in my practice. She's extremely busy - a single mother working two jobs and highly stressed.
I explained to La-Vern how her energy reserve is a bit like a bank account - you cannot keep making withdrawals without going into overdraft.
She had very little energy reserve left with the demands of being a single mum, her two jobs and lack of sleep.
Whatever time she did have left, she spent going to the gym three times per week for an intense one-hour workout session, which left her feeling drained.
La-Vern was simply doing too much and her exercise regime was actually putting more stress on her body. This is a common problem these days - we have been conditioned to think that more exercise is always better.
I persuaded La-Vern to swap these intense workouts for yoga, a more restorative practice. This was life-changing. At the end of her yoga session, La-Vern not only felt as though she had worked out but also felt rejuvenated and energised. Plus, it was the only "switch off" time she had all week.
By addressing these four areas of health - food, movement, sleep and stress - I not only helped La-Vern feel significantly better, but, just as importantly, I've reduced her risk of following her mother down the road towards type 2 diabetes.
La-Vern is unstinting in her praise of Dr Chatterjee. She says he "saved" her life.
She adds: "[That's} a profound statement I know; however he came into our lives at such a crucial time. By sharing his knowledge he has given me, my mum and my family the tools to implement very subtle changes that have literally turned our lives around.
"As humans we take certain things for granted but do we realise how such things like stress, the food we eat and a lack of sleep, the quality of the sleep actually has such a detrimental impact on the way we think, our overall health and general well-being? Until now, I certainly did not.
"Our lack of understanding meant we were tackling aspects of our lives and health believing it was for the best when in fact we were doing more harm than good. With the benefit of hindsight, this is quite a scary concept.
"We felt truly blessed to have had the opportunity to have Dr Chatterjee in our lives. He is a very wise, caring and such a genuine person and we are so grateful to him for helping us to bring about changes that are having such a positive impact."
Too much of our focus in medicine is reactive and treatment kicks in only once you have a disease.
If there is any hope of saving our NHS, we have to be much more proactive at recognising and treating problems early on.
The future of healthcare needs to be preventive and personalised.
It's what I call progressive medicine, and there is an ever-growing need for us to practise it right now. Type 2 diabetes: a real need for preventive medicine.

The Wedding Gown: Revealing the Nation's Mood - The New York Times

The Wedding Gown: Revealing the Nation's Mood
June 15, 1997, Section 1, Page 33Buy Reprints
IT may happen in the fitting room of a tony bridal salon or in a designer's atelier, or even in a mother's sewing room amid a sea of pins and pattern paper: There is a moment when the bride, after a long search and many false leads, first puts on The Dress, the one she realizes she will wear when she is married. ''Usually somebody's crying in the room,'' said Rachel Leonard, the fashion editor of Brides magazine. ''Your mother, your friend, even the bridal consultant.''
The moment, Ms. Leonard said, has something to do with being plucked from ordinary life and suddenly becoming a symbol -- set apart but also connected in a long chain with one's mother, grandmothers and brides everywhere.
There is something iconic about the bride, but the actual elements of that image have shifted over the years. Wedding gowns have not always looked, as a character in the film ''Four Weddings and a Funeral'' put it, like ''a big meringue,'' with bouffant skirt and clouds of tulle.
In the giddy 1920's, for example, a perfectly respectable wedding dress was short and straight, reflecting that decade's exuberance and fashion upheaval. Bustlines and natural waists disappeared under sacklike sheaths, and as compensation, shocking expanses of leg were revealed as wedding dresses shot up.
''New York Gets Married: Dressing for a Special Day, 1765-1997,'' at the Museum of the City of New York until Sept. 21, chronicles such shifting styles, in wedding pictures, memorabilia and, of course, dresses. There are 40 of them, from the Empire-waisted gowns of the early 19th century to the cacophony of styles of the 1990's.
Bridal gowns are always, Ms. Leonard said, a ''reflection of the economic and social climate, the popular culture and fashion of the day.''
Some moments in history.
The bridal image has not always been white. Wedding dresses were virtually any color in the 1800's, said Phyllis Magidson, the curator of ''New York Gets Married.''
''It was simply the best dress your family had to offer, meant to be worn at special occasions thereafter,'' she said. A very wealthy woman might have her gown made at Maison Worth in Paris, where a dress could cost as much as a middle-class person's salary for a year, but for most people, Ms. Magidson added, ''wearing something that was specifically and solely intended to be worn for the wedding -- the concept that we have of being a fairy princess -- is a fairly contemporary perception.''
Queen Victoria's wedding in 1840 was the 19th-century equivalent of Lady Diana Spencer's extravaganza in 1982, and Victoria just happened to get married in white because she wanted her gown trimmed with a particularly rich lace. Her wedding-picture engravings were so widely circulated that the public began to associate white with weddings, Ms. Magidson said.
One may think of the speedy knockoff as a recent phenomenon, but at the turn of the century there were two developments -- the camera and the department store with its glass window -- that brought the dresses of the rich to the attention of the public. That helped move the concept of wedding dress from ''best dress'' to the modern state of pure costume, says Anne Hollander, author of the fashion history ''Seeing Through Clothes'' (Viking, 1978).
But even for the wealthy, it was considered socially acceptable to wear one's wedding dress for special occasions. In ''The Age of Innocence'' by Edith Wharton, which was set in the late 1800's, May Archer asks her new husband what to wear to a reception. He suggests her wedding dress, and she exclaims: ''If only I had it here! But it's gone to Paris to be made over for next winter, and Worth hasn't sent it back.''
Of Wally and War
Another flurry of wedding dress activity occurred in 1937, when Edward VIII abdicated his throne to marry Wallis Warfield Simpson. The populace swooned over this great romance -- and tried to get a piece of it by knocking off her $250 Mainbocher wedding ensemble, a form-fitting day dress. A newspaper article of the time, with the headline ''The Descent of the 'Wally' Gown -- From Paris to New York's 14th Street in Six Weeks,'' traced the path of the dress, noting its appearance at ''a swank shop on Fifth Avenue for $25'' and at ''Klein's Cash and Carry on 14th Street for $8.90'' several days later.
But the 1940's put a stop to wedding dress excitement. Citizens were asked to conserve raw materials for the boys overseas. Though the United States did not adopt garment rationing as Britain did, the Government asked manufacturers to keep silhouettes lean and to avoid frills; most complied. A wedding was also likely to be rushed, so a bride might stand next to her soldier groom wearing something ordinary, tailored and Rosalind Russell-esque.
Armistice Day provided an unleashing of sartorial extravagance. ''Women were feeling romantic because the men were home, and they were eager to get out of their Rosie the Riveter overalls,'' Ms. Magidson said. With a population ready to dress up, designers ended up pillaging ''everything from the royal bag of tricks,'' Ms. Magidson added. ''Boned and standing collars, puffed and melon sleeves, very full skirts, extended trains, even the crown gets resurrected.''
Compared with the relatively uneventful and sober 50's -- a time of bouffant gowns, narrow waists and full skirts -- the late 60's and early 70's were about rejection of tradition.
''The girls really didn't want wedding dresses at all,'' recalled Monica Hickey, the director of Custom/Couture Bridal at Saks Fifth Avenue, who served as a bridal consultant at Bergdorf Goodman in the 70's. ''But most of them succumbed because Grandmother would cut them out of the will if they didn't.''
Still, the ambivalence was expressed with ''nonwedding wedding dresses.'' ''I did barefoot brides in beautiful dresses from India in natural linen with beads and colored crewel work,'' Ms. Hickey said, ''and dresses from Mexico that were all short and perky. We did a window at Bergdorf's where the bride was in this Indian embroidery and bare feet, holding sheaves of wheat. We were paying court to the hippies; rich hippies, anyway.''
In the 80's, when ambivalence about wealth disappeared, the lavish wedding dress of great skirts and trains came into style, a trend crowned by what Ms. Hickey calls ''the last great show on earth'' -- the wedding of Lady Diana to the Prince of Wales. Elizabeth and David Emanuel's billowing creation, with its endless train (known as ''cathedral length'' because it suits the scale and pageantry of a big church wedding), ''set up the idea that you spend an enormous amount of money on something that has nothing to do with the rest of your life so you can look like that for that moment,'' Ms. Hollander said. (Ms. Emanuel will introduce her new bridal collection in a trunk show on June 23 and 24 at Saks Fifth Avenue.)
What does the bride of the 90's look like? These days, ''it's every man for himself,'' Ms. Hollander added, noting the diversity of designs.
Vera Wang, who opened shop on Madison Avenue and 77th Street in 1990, excised the frou-frou wedding cake embellishment and streamlined the shape. Now, top fashion designers who have tended to avoid bridal collections have jumped into the pool. Last year, Giorgio Armani started his first bridal-wear collection with such nontraditional outfits as tightly-fitted jacket and slit-skirt combinations, or tuxedo coat with mandarin collar, and a price range of $6,000 to $20,000. And at the same time, the team of Mark Badgley and James Mischka began a bridal collection that resembles elegant evening wear.
This season's bride won't necessarily wear white. Erisa Yuki is still doing gowns in black, and one of Ms. Wang's best sellers is pale sea green. The gown of a 90's bride might have corsetlike ties at the back or boning that seems taken from lingerie, or it might be trimmed with cowrie shells like the Afrocentric gowns of Therez Fleetwood.
Industry wide, the 90's bride is ''more naked,'' said Ms. Wang, who is largely responsible for getting her that way with her plunging backs and cutout waists. (Her line costs $2,500 to $6,000.) Narciso Rodriguez showed lots of skin with a bias-cut slip dress for Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy that has been widely imitated.
One of Ms. Wang's best sellers is slim and columnar, with a fantail train that suggests an old-fashioned bustle. But at the same time, designers are also seeing a desire for ''pomp and circumstance,'' said Ms. Wang, whose line includes the traditional bell skirt that still captures the popular imagination.
Ms. Wang said this redirection was about ''the desire to be more bridal and more grand, more not like everyday life.'' And perhaps to be part of that great chain linking mother, grandmother and brides everyone.
