Martin Heidegger (/ˈhaɪdɛɡər, -dɪɡər/;German: [ˈmaɐ̯tiːn ˈhaɪdɛɡɐ]; 26 September 1889 – 26 May 1976) was a German philosopher and a seminal thinker in the Continental tradition and philosophical hermeneutics, with a growing influence on Analytic philosophy. According to the IEP, he is "widely acknowledged to be one of the most original and important philosophers of the 20th century." Heidegger is best known for his contributions to Phenomenology and Existentialism, though as the SEP cautions, "his thinking should be identified as part of such philosophical movements only with extreme care and qualification."

Heidegger, Martin Filmography
Famous quotes by Martin Heidegger:
"...Before considering the question that is seemingly always the most immediate one and the only urgent one, What shall we do? we ponder this: How must we think? For thinking is genuine activity, genuine taking a hand, if to take a hand means to lend a hand to...the coming to presence of Being."
"Why are there beings at all, instead of Nothing?"
"Man is not the lord of beings. Man is the shepherd of Being."
"The human being is not the lord of beings, but the shepherd of Being."

Embedding of cortical representations by the superficial patch system. - PubMed - NCBI
1 selected item: 21383233
Muir DR1, Da Costa NM, Girardin CC, Naaman S, Omer DB, Ruesch E, Grinvald A, Douglas RJ.

Pyramidal cells in layers 2 and 3 of the neocortex of many species collectively form a clustered system of lateral axonal projections (the superficial patch system--Lund JS, Angelucci A, Bressloff PC. 2003. Anatomical substrates for functional columns in macaque monkey primary visual cortex. Cereb Cortex. 13:15-24. or daisy architecture--Douglas RJ, Martin KAC. 2004. Neuronal circuits of the neocortex. Annu Rev Neurosci. 27:419-451.), but the function performed by this general feature of the cortical architecture remains obscure. By comparing the spatial configuration of labeled patches with the configuration of responses to drifting grating stimuli, we found the spatial organizations both of the patch system and of the cortical response to be highly conserved between cat and monkey primary visual cortex. More importantly, the configuration of the superficial patch system is directly reflected in the arrangement of function across monkey primary visual cortex. Our results indicate a close relationship between the structure of the superficial patch system and cortical responses encoding a single value across the surface of visual cortex (self-consistent states). This relationship is consistent with the spontaneous emergence of orientation response-like activity patterns during ongoing cortical activity (Kenet T, Bibitchkov D, Tsodyks M, Grinvald A, Arieli A. 2003. Spontaneously emerging cortical representations of visual attributes. Nature. 425:954-956.). We conclude that the superficial patch system is the physical encoding of self-consistent cortical states, and that a set of concurrently labeled patches participate in a network of mutually consistent representations of cortical input.

Active region location process shown for a single OI response map. The local average (shown in a) of the response map was obtained by convolution with a disc kernel. This result was subtracted from the response map to remove large-scale variations in the image (b). The map was then thresholded to the mean of the area within the craniotomy mask (shown as a white outline on all subfigures); the result is shown in c. A Gaussian field was used as a model of an active region, and the correlation between this model and all points on the map was calculated (d). This results in a smooth image where peaks of higher intensity indicate the position of activity bumps in the original map. Peak locations were identified using nonmaximum suppression; these locations are shown in e as white crosses on the original OI response map. Scale bars: 1 mm.
Cereb Cortex. 2011 Oct;21(10):2244-2260.
Neighborhood relationships between active orientation-responsive regions across visual cortex. (a) The same OI response map from cat primary visual cortex as shown in , with the corresponding neighborhood graph superimposed. Neighbor relationships (white lines) between the active regions (crosses) were calculated using Gabriel graphing (). The existence of an edge between 2 points on the graph indicates that these points are considered to be neighbors. Only connected vertices are shown. (b) An example functional map from monkey area V1 used in our analysis. (c) The functional map from (b), with the identified active regions (crosses) and corresponding neighborhood graph (white lines) superimposed. Scale bars: 1 mm.
A schematic illustration of how angles between neighbors are measured. Active regions are indicated with crosses over a portion of a cartoon orientation map (a). For the equivalent analysis of patch-labeling experiments, crosses would indicate the centers of identified patches. Neighbor relationships between vertices are shown as solid lines connecting neighboring crosses. The edge of the craniotomy mask is shown as a thick white line. The large cross is the vertex for which interneighbor angles will be collected. b shows an angle that meets the criteria for measurement. The white arc indicates the pair of neighbor relationships that define this angle at the vertex under analysis. Note that in all cases only the acute angle is measured, and the complementary obtuse angle is ignored. c shows an angle that does not meet the criteria for measurement. In this case, the secondary neighbor relationship that would connect the 2 primary neighbors is missing (indicated by a dashed line); the neighborhood circle for these 2 points intersects the edge of the craniotomy (see Materials and Methods).
Examples of jittered lattices, generated through a Neyman–Scott process (). Base grids following a perfect hexagonal (a) or square (b) lattice are generated with random origins and rotations (gray crosses). For each vertex of a base grid, a secondary point is generated, at a uniform random offset from the base vertex (up to a factor δ of the nominal grid spacing) and with a uniform random offset direction (black circles). These secondary points are used as artificial patch or active region locations in our analysis. In this figure a jitter of δ = 0.5 is illustrated, which was the amount of jitter we found to most closely reproduce the measured experimental spatial distributions. The distributions of intervertex angles produced by these models are shown in .
Interneighbor angle distributions for 2 regular lattice models. Point sets were generated from lattice models with underlying hexagonal (a) and square (b) structures, as described in Materials and Methods. In both graphs, the degree of jitter (δ) is varied between 0 (a perfect lattice) and 2 (close to a Poisson distribution). Dark lines indicate the mean distribution; shading indicates the 95% CI, estimated over 100 random instances for the same jitter parameter.
Illustration of the resampling process used to compare patch-labeling injections with OI response maps. An example injection reconstruction from our database is shown in a. An injection of biotinylated dextran amine (central hashed region) was made into macaque monkey V1 by Tanigawa and colleagues (reproduced with permission from ; scale bar: 1 mm). We located the center of the reconstructed patches and identified the neighborhood graph as described above (black circles and connecting lines). We constructed the convex hull of the labeled patches (b), then superimposed this hull onto a set of active regions identified from an OI response map (c). Using the hull as a mask, we excluded active regions and neighbor relations falling outside this region (gray crosses: d). In this way, we imposed the shape of a patch group onto the structure of an OI response map, ensuring that any potential distortions in our characteristic measures caused by the shape of a set of points were included equally in both data sets. The points and neighbor relations that remained after masking were used to compare the spatial arrangement of the OI response maps with that of the patch-labeling injections.
Patch spacing versus patch width across many species and cortical areas. Observations of clustered labeling from are shown here, when data for both patch width and patch spacing were reported. Each × is an individual observation of clustered labeling of intrinsic projections in a cortical area. A boxed × indicates that we have estimated the value of patch spacing from the published material. The dashed line is a linear regression of the data shown here, and explains 72% of the observed variance. The dotted line has a slope of 2 and is provided for comparison.
Distributions of interneighboring-patch angle and distance for cat (a,b) and monkey (c,d), measured over our database of patch-labeling injections. Distances between neighboring patches (shown in the right-hand graphs) and angles between sets of neighboring patches (left-hand graphs) were collected from reconstructions of patch-labeling injections, as described in Materials and Methods. The mean distribution is shown as a solid curve in all graphs; distribution variance (shaded regions) was estimated by computing the 90% bootstrap CI. For comparison, the angle distribution measured from a Poisson random model is shown by the dashed line for both Cat and Monkey. (a and b) Measurements over patch-labeling injections in Cat primary visual cortex (area 17). The measured distribution of interneighbor angles differs significantly from a Poisson distribution of the same intensity (PK–S < 0.001). n = 13 injections. (c and d) Measurements over patch-labeling injections in Monkey area V1. The measured distribution of interneighbor angles differs significantly from a Poisson distribution of the same intensity (PK–S < 0.001). n = 27 injections. 1000 bootstrap resampling runs were performed to estimate CIs for the distributions in all graphs.
Spatial arrangement measurements for active regions on OI response maps for Cat (a and b) and Monkey (c and d). Conventions are the same as in . (a and b) Measurements over Cat OI response maps. The measured distribution of interneighbor angles differs significantly from a Poisson distribution of the same intensity (PK–S < 0.001). n = 26 imaging experiments, 266 maps total. (c and d) Measurements over Monkey OI response maps. The measured distribution of interneighbor angles differs significantly from a Poisson distribution of the same intensity (PK–S < 0.001). n = 4 imaging experiments, 16 maps total. 1000 bootstrap resampling runs were performed to estimate CIs for the distributions in all graphs.
Comparison between angle distributions from OI response maps, patch-labeling experiments and lattice models. Distributions measured from the indicated experimental dataset are shown as solid black curves and dark shading in all graphs. (a and b) Interneighbor angle distributions measured from patch-labeling experiments (solid black curve and dark shading) compared with a square lattice model (dashed green curve and green shading). In cat area 17 (a), these distributions are significantly different (PK–S < 0.001), while in monkey V1 (b), these distributions are marginally similar at a significance level of α = 1% (PK–S = 0.01). (c and d) Patch-labeling experiments (solid black curve and gray shading) compared with a hexagonal lattice model (solid magenta curve and shading). In cat area 17 (c), these distributions are indistinguishable (PK–S = 0.70); the same is true in monkey V1 (d; PK–S = 0.68). n = 13 injections in a and c, n = 27 injections in b and d. (e and f) Angle distributions measured from OI response maps (solid black curves and gray shading) compared with hexagonal (solid magenta curves and shading) and square (dashed green curves and green shading) lattice models. In both cat area 17 (e) and monkey V1 (f), the square lattice model differs significantly from the OI response map distributions (PK–S < 0.01 for both cat and monkey primary visual cortex). In both cases, the hexagonal lattice model cannot be distinguished from the OI response map distributions (PK–S = 0.10 for cat area 17, PK–S = 0.28 for monkey V1). n = 266 response maps in e, n = 16 response maps in f. 1000 bootstrap resampling runs were performed to estimate the 90% CIs of each of the distributions (shaded regions in all graphs).
Comparison between the spatial arrangement of OI response maps and that of the superficial patch system in monkey V1. Sets of active regions from OI response maps from monkey V1 were resampled, using the convex hull of a group of patches as a mask (for details, see Materials and Methods). The spatial arrangement of these resampled response maps was then analyzed using the same characteristic measures as above. In all graphs, the distributions measured from our patch-labeling injection database are shown as solid curves with dark shading. The resampled OI response maps are represented by dashed curves and lighter shading. (a) The distributions of angles on the OI response maps are indistinguishable from that measured from the patch groups (PK–S = 0.39; n = 108 resampled OI response maps, n = 27 injections). (b) The mean spacing measured between neighboring active regions on the OI response maps (dashed curves) is clearly different from that measured between neighboring patches (solid curve—0.74 mm vs. 0.50 mm, respectively). (c) The same data as shown in b but with the distributions of interpatch distance separated by lab (solid curves). The black points in c comprise a scatter plot for measured interpatch distances for each grouped set of injections, one row per source laboratory. These are included to illustrate the large variance in tissue shrinkage observed between different labs, assuming that all labs are sampling from the same patch system statistics. The dashed curve indicates the distribution of separations between active regions measured from resampled OI response maps, as in b, shown for comparison.
Cross-species comparison of the spatial structure of OI response maps and patch spreads (a and b) Measured interneighbor angle (a) and distance (b) distributions from OI response maps in cat area 17 (dashed curve and light shading) and monkey V1 (solid curve and dark shading). Despite a large difference in spatial scale between cat and monkey (mode interneighbor distances of 1.01 mm and 0.74 mm, respectively), the spatial arrangement of active domains is indistinguishable (PK–S = 0.28; n = 266 maps in cat area 17, 16 maps in monkey V1). (c and d) Interneighbor angle (c) and distance (d) distributions from patch-labeling injections in cat area 17 (light dashed curves) and monkey V1 (dark solid curves). Once again, the difference in spatial scale is marked (0.90 mm vs. 0.50 mm for cat and monkey, respectively), while the spatial arrangement of patch locations is indistinguishable (PK–S = 0.20; n = 13 injections in cat area 17, 27 injections in monkey V1).

Amazon.co.uk: Geoffrey Dixon's review of Angelis
Angelis B000IY03D2
Initial post: 9 Dec 2013 16:15:57 GMT
Dear Geoffrey,One of these singers has recently released a solo album which you can purchase on Amazon called Scotland Boy He made it a couple of years after leaving Angelis and it is extraordinary. There are several reviews about it but Scotland Boy is my all time favourite album
Do you think this post adds to the discussion? In reply to an earlier post on 10 Dec 2013 00:25:31 GMT
Thank you Kevin for your recommendation of Scotland Boy I will have a listen I think that Angelis was a gift, too soon to be disposed off what a complete waste. I am an ex chorister from too many years ago!! to listen to Angelis is sheer beauty of voice,and represents the best in tonal quality

Harold Battiste - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(1931-10-28)October 28, 1931
June 19, 2015(2015-06-19) (aged 83)
Born in New Orleans, he grew up in the Magnolia Projects. He attended Dillard University, earning a B.S. in music in 1953 and becoming a proficient saxophonist, pianist, and arranger. He formed his first group, with Alvin Batiste (clarinet) and Edward Blackwell (drums) while at university.[1]
His first success as a studio arranger was with Sam Cooke’s "You Send Me"[2] in 1957. In 1961, he initiated the first African American musician-owned record label, All For One, better known as AFO Records.[3] Within a few months, they produced a million-selling hit single, Barbara George’s "I Know (You Don't Love Me No More)" (AFO#302).[4] The album also released the first album by Ellis Marsalis, The Monkey Puzzle. Battiste's other professional contributions as a producer and arranger for studio, film, stage and television include Joe Jones

The statement was based on the fact that a gun that can fire between 30 and 100 rounds in under a minute is very effective at killing lots of people. Innocent could mean anyone shot by a gun who had done nothing to harm the person with the gun, you know, like a school full of children and teachers. In what way was I being emotional exactly. I simply pointed out that spoons are a tool for getting fat, pencils are a tool that make possible written spelling mistakes, and guns make it possible to murder innocent people. Sure its true that guns don't kill people but its also true that people with guns do kill people. Also I am planning on buying my first handgun in about 3 weeks and I go to the range and rent guns to shoot nearly every weekend. I am not buying it to protect myself from the government or roving bands of criminals. I'm buying it so that I don't have to pay overpriced rental fees every time I go to the range. I believe in background checks and the assault weapons ban proposed by Congress. I think the NRA nothing but a heat shield that exists to deflect negative press from actual gun manufacturers and I don't believe that Obama has proposed anything that comes anywhere near a gun grab or any other such nonsense. The second amendment doesn't give anyone the right to unfettered access to all weapons and if you think it does then I submit that you are an overly emotional fool who doesn't use his brain a lot.

VANTAGE POINT : In Brazil, Chilling Echo Of Past Soccer Disasters - The New York Times
Sports|VANTAGE POINT : In Brazil, Chilling Echo Of Past Soccer Disasters
VANTAGE POINT : In Brazil, Chilling Echo Of Past Soccer Disasters
By ROB HUGHES and INTERNATIONAL HERALD TRIBUNE JAN. 3, 2001
LONDON— As we enter the third millennium according to the Christian calendar, there is, unfortunately, fresh evidence that we learn little from history.
In Brazil on Saturday, the last soccer game of 2000 was aborted when 109 spectators were hurt, some seriously, after a steel barrier
collapsed before a tightly packed and panicking crowd behind one of the goals.
In Scotland, relatives, friends and fellow fans Tuesday remembered the 66 dead and 145 injured in the Ibrox tragedy exactly 30 years ago. Then a steel barrier collapsed before an overcrowded and panicking crowd on a stairway.
The world responded Jan. 2, 1971. The Pope held Mass in Rome. President Nixon sent condolences. Among the many who offered to raise funds by sending a team was the world champion, Brazil.
"We must never allow such a disaster to happen again," said Willie Waddell who, as general manager of Rangers Football Club, oversaw the redevelopment of the stadium where so many came to grief on Stairway 13.
But disaster did recur. In the 1980s and 1990s lives were lost en masse at Heysel Stadium in Brussels, at Bradford and at Hillsborough in England. From Bastia to Harare deaths keep haunting us at stadiums that are supposed to lighten, not crush, lives.
Last weekend's despair in the Sao Januario stadium in Rio de Janeiro carried chilling echos of Ibrox. Fortune, and the rapid response of the police, the military and the air force, spared lives but cannot guarantee freedom from physical and mental trauma.
No deaths, no headlines, no true comparison to 1971? Yet at Ibrox, Heysel, Bradford and Hillsborough and now Rio, there was the same deadly negligence. Architects and so-called safety officers devised stadiums to pack people in, with wretched provision for their escape.
In Brazil, where two congressional hearings into alleged soccer corruption and mismanagement had adjourned for the festive season, Saturday has appalling costs on three levels: the suffering of fans, the abrupt end to a magnificent attempt by one team to revive beauty in the sport, and the myopic self-interest of the host club which wanted to play on.
Saturday's game was the final of the Joao Havelange Cup, created to fill the gap when Brazil's national league was called off because of bickering between the regions. Among 116 teams entered, only one — Sao Caetano — pursued a romance.
In a competition characterized by 55 fouls per game, Caetano turned back the clock to the jogo bonito — beautiful game. It humbled the giants, eclipsing Fluminense, 4-3, on aggregate, Palmeiras, 6-5, and Gremio, 6-3.
"Sao Caetano is innovative, delightful," said Tostao who graced the 1970 Brazil side. "This team proves it is possible to play attractive, attacking football and win."
It is Catch-22. Because they performed so joyously, nearly all those players who began Caetano's season watched by only 800 fans, will be lured away to teams that will probably repress them. We may never know if they could have conquered Vasco.
The first leg of the final was drawn 1-1; Saturday's second leg was scoreless after 23 minutes when the barrier collapsed. The collapse was caused, reportedly, by overcrowding in the capacity 35,000 stadium, by scuffles that rippled down the steep banking, and by a steel barrier that fire officers said was visibly corroded.
Eye witnesses, and those who emerged from beneath the pile of writhing, screaming bodies, describe their experience in horribly reminiscent tones.
"I didn't see what happened," said Leonardo Santos, 20, as he limped out of the morass. "Suddenly, there were a lot of people falling on top of me, on my leg."
He was lucky; others suffered injuries to their chests, their spines, their heads. They couldn't see, breathe or think.
Vasco da Gama had refused to play the game in the spacious Maracana, preferring home advantage. Every ticket had been sold, but families turned up with small children who were let in free. According to reports, 10 real (dollars 5) would bribe a gateman to turn a blind eye to interlopers.
As victims were being carried away on stretchers, Eurico Miranda, the chief executive at Vasco, said the game must go on. Adhemar, a Sao Caetano striker, differed.
"We saw people falling, children receiving first aid, a sorry situation. These are not conditions or climate for the match to continue," he said.
Anthony Garotinho, the state governor, who saw the drama on television, telephoned to instruct officials to suspend the match. "It would have been impossible to contain that sea of people if the game restarts," he said. "We would face an even greater tragedy."
A furious Miranda said: "The governor is a wimp, an incompetent. We had everything here: We had police, we had security, we had medical support." He argued that the military could ring the pitch to prevent fans interrupting the match. When that was overruled, he had his team do a victory lap and declared Vasco would claim the cup by default.
The governor is pursuing the Vasco president for negligence, and recommends injured fans do the same.
"There is no better portrait of Brazilian soccer," wrote Juca Kfouri, a columnist who can be the conscience of the national sport, "The fans have always been treated as cattle and not as people."

Lurking in the depths of the ocean is a fearsome creature of proportions that stagger the imagination. At least sixty feet long and weighing more than a ton; with two elongated, whip-like tentacles and eight grasping arms studded with toothed suckers; with a huge beak between its arms and two lidless eyes the size of dinner plates---this is the giant squid, one of the largest animals on earth and one of the least known. Until now.

By Wendy Williams - Kraken: The Curious, Exciting, and Slightly Disturbing Science of Squid (1/30/11) Hardcover
It is surpassingly strange that, as Ellis writes, "no one has ever seen a living, healthy giant squid"?for, judging from the evidence, comprised mostly of carcasses and the remains found in sperm whales, there are a multitude of the beasts out there, growing up to 60 feet long, albeit usually, it's thought, at a depth of several hundred feet. But it's not at all strange that, from the meager evidence about Architeuthis, Ellis?author of such fine books as Imagining Atlantis (Forecasts, May 25) and Monsters of the Sea (1995; portions of this newest Ellis book first appeared there)?has fashioned an absorbing work of natural history and a classic of cryptozoology. Some of the appeal of this book is visual, as it presents 30 b&w photographs and 35 line drawings, many historical, several of the drawings by Ellis himself. It's the author's elegant, informative, passionate text that ultimately carries the day, however, as this marine scientist reports on every aspect of the giant squid and its study, covering its biology and behavior, its taxonomy, historical records of its appearances, its treatment in literature, film and museum models, and more. And Ellis not only reports on but sifts through the record, challenging several previous "sightings," most notably those of Jacques Cousteau. At times, the book has a kitchen-sink-and-all feel, as if Ellis aims to cram in every known bit of data about the giant squid; even dedicated monster-lovers may find more here than they want to know. Still, the giant squid may be Earth's last great unknown animal; certainly it is one of nature's enduring mysteries. In this authoritative book, Ellis vivifies and celebrates that mystery with erudition and consummate skill. Newbridge Natural Science Book Club main selection; author tour.

4.0 out of 5 starsInteresting, But Wish More Info Existed On This Beast
ByJohn IVon May 1, 2000
Since childhood I've been intrigued with undiscovered places, animals, and mysteries. It was with a flush of excitement that I saw the giant pink squid complete with hubcap eye staring out at me from the nature bookshelf. It beckoned to come and read about the search for this elusive creature. Visions of the medieval woodblock of the Kraken demolishing a ship danced in my head. I am ashamed to admit that I was indeed hoping for some Benchley-esque anecdotal stories of fishermen battling against this 60 foot long monster, but of course that wasn't to be. Ellis produces a very scholarly, disciplined, non-tabloid <grin> detective novel, describing the previous sightings and ultimate resting places for the carcasses. Much of the writing is speculative since none of these animals have been captured or observed in the wild. The famous mythos of sperm whale battles at great depths are examined, as are the earliest recorded wash-ups on shore. It is a pity that more information has not surfaced about their eating and living patterns. But again, what little information there is available is presented well, and it becomes clear that Ellis is quite enamored with this mysterious denizen of the murky depths. I do agree however with some of the other reviews, that this information could have been distilled into a serialized article in a nature magazine or similar. It's rather eerie and actually scary to consider Ellis' description of these giants, hanging motionless in the dark ocean forever watching with their unblinking eyes, waiting for the chance to dine. Overall, an interesting read, which should lead one to perk up their ears if there is ever a report of one of these beasts being captured or observed in the wild.
ByI. Westrayon January 6, 2001
Richard Ellis has written several interesting, accessible books about ocean life. Giant Squid reads almost like a "best of" compilation, reprising a lot of the Architeuthis Dux material from his other titles. Basically it's all been rephrased, and he has a chance here to go into more patient detail this time, but none of it is exactly new.
If you found this book enjoyable, I'd strongly recommend "Monsters of the Sea" (for the raise-the-hairs-on-your-arm mystery it calls up) and either the Encyclopedia of the Sea or Deep Atlantic (because those will show you Ellis's impressive illustrations).
Ellis really needs a more active editor or something. Another of these reviews was right -- he often includes short repeated passages, at times within a page of two of one another. He has a clean, accessible tone as a writer, and his drawings are distinctive and eye catching, really engaging as science illustrations go. Someone should be helping him to establish a little more continuity in his text, and shaping each book so it'll lay out gracefully around his wonderful pictures. Instead Giant Squid includes only a few drawings by Ellis himself, all repeats from other books I think, and for some reason nobody's told him to put the tiresome (and weirdly overstated) footnotes ironically bashing Jules Verne to rest. (The footnotes are all repeats, too...)
Short version: I'd probably recommend Monsters of the Sea, Deep Atlantic, or the Encyclopedia of the Sea first. You can come around to this later if you've got Architeuthis fever.
After a couple reads of this, self-proclaiming yourself a Teuthologist (fancy scientific name for 'squid investigator') becomes a reality.Read more

Cost Management System at JSC Russian Railways | Cost Accounting | Profit (Accounting)
Uploaded by asevim7348
Warren Buffett, American investor, businessman and philanthropist
Introduction Recently, corporations have been applying end-product management and supply chain management to increase the profitability of each product, which enables prices to be kept low while raising profits. An activity-based costing method is the key to success in these critical management strategies. ABC is a costing model that identifies the cost pools and activity centers in an organization. It assigns costs to products and services (cost drivers) based on the number of events or transactions involved in the process of providing a product or a service. As a result, ABC management can support managers to see how shareholder value can be maximized and how corporate performance can be improved. Specifically for monopolies it is greatly important to pursue a price policy based on product costs, while for other corporations it is imposed by market prices. In addition, cost management systems in large state-owned holdings have their own special features, including a very high share of indirect expenses in the consolidated corporate expenses. The process of cost allocation with respect to different business units (BU) and subunits usually has high potential for improvement. Based on the situation described above plus a framework of reform, the national railway monopoly, JSC Russian Railways, started a process to restructure the management accounting system by implementing an activity-based costing method in order to increase efficiency and reduce costs without sacrificing the value for the customers.
The company JSC Russian Railways (hereinafter – RZD) is one of the biggest railway companies in the world. RZD has a complicated multi-level structure that includes company branches and representation offices, subsidiaries and associates. As of December 2006, the company had a total of 120 subsidiaries and associates. Some of the fields in which RZD operates are: • Freight traffic • Long-distance passenger traffic • Suburban passenger traffic • Infrastructure services • Locomotive power services • Rolling stock repair services • Capital construction • Research and development • Maintenance of public property Large-scale production, functional diversification and the complicated organizational structure of RZD result in differences between the units’ reporting standards, use of the wrong consolidation principles and the undefined corporate policies, which entail misleading decisionmaking processes for management. These imperfections in the management reporting can damage corporate strategy. Therefore, we were engaged in the project of reengineering RZD’s management accounting system. The improvement project for the cost management system of RZD was implemented in three phases.
Phase 1 A specific characteristic of RZD is that general indirect expenses and overheads are rather high as a percentage of total expenses. e. in order to define profit. 47 Performance . which are proportional to the labor compensation fund in recent years. Consequently. The challenge was to create separate cost accounting frameworks for the different types of activities. As the new accounting format is more flexible. and the structure of traffic handling costs depends sharply on the accuracy level of allocation of these distributable expenses. human resources. etc. Overhead costs. finance and accounting. legal services.and loss-making activities facilitating the development and maintenance of an effective cost management system and increasing profitability of the whole company. the following problems were identified: • Incorrect consolidation structure • Failure to break down expenses on cost accounts and cost items by filling out the form • Incorrect cost allocation to general and administration expenses in the consolidated balance sheet In the area of cost allocation method. They could be classified into two main areas: data gathering and cost allocation method.g. an activity-based costing analysis of the types of activities was carried out. also accounted for approximately 30% of total handling costs. including a breakdown of costs to cost items. related to the maintenance of the railway’s infrastructure. Figure 1: Cost allocation Cost data Expenses consolidated Direct costs BU 1 Allocation coefﬁcients Products/ services BU n Overheads Regarding the data gathering process for costs. an activity-based analysis of expenses and functions (marketing. Indirect expenses. it enables the conduction of cost structure operating analysis and operating budget planning based on cost groups.) was carried out. some 60% of the total expenses of railway transportation are distributable. providing detailed data gathering for more accurate cost allocation using the activity-based costing analysis. The analysis conducted during the diagnostic phase of the project allowed the identification of existing accounting methodology and cost allocation methodology deficiencies.. The development of a new accounting methodology requested improvements and adjustments to the previous format. general and administration expenses could be allocated at the level of business units) Phase 2 To increase the accuracy of cost allocation and create an effective management system. account for 40% of the total general costs and 30% of handling costs. The detailed analysis of the activities of every business unit and their inclusion in the strategic corporate scheme allowed them to derive the new accounting format showing costs of single business units. the following problems were identified: • Application of outdated coefficients for distribution • Application of labor compensation fund as a basis for cost allocation • Allocation of overhead expenses on the upper level (some expenses. Therefore.
Figure 2: Cost accounting of different types of activities Cost data Function 1 BU 1 Additional function n BU 2 Product 2 Function 2 BU 3 Additional function n Function n Direct allocation Product n In proportion to the statistics coefﬁcents The main advantages of the new accounting format were as follows: • Structuring costs by types of activity • Indication of physical measures and number of employees by cost items Product 1 • Specification of company expenses and all physical measures enabling planning and cost items accounting The new cost allocation methodology involved the implementation of an activity-based costing model. As a result of the implementation of the new cost allocation methodology. Some characteristics of the new method of cost allocation were as follows: • Adding definition of function as an object of cost accounting • Allocation of production costs and general and administration costs to production function BU n 48 Performance . it was possible to carry out a structural analysis of costs by type of activity.
Improvement of the formats and processes of data gathering lead to successful optimization of the management reporting system. a pilot project to make the cost management system more effective was executed in the Moscow section of RZD. links corporate strategy to operational decision-making and helps improve decisions about tariffs that are based on the cost of activities. Data gathering systems are the basis for management reporting. An electronic model. and not to types of activities. which enables separate accounting by type of activity and type of rail transportation. the ABC method is the key to the improved performance of the Russian railway in several respects and supports taking measures to promote profitable business development.

It enables an increase in the effectiveness of budgeting by identifying a cost/performance relationship in the different fields of activities of the Russian railways. Ernst & Young. It also encourages continuous improvement and total quality control because planning and control are directed at the process level. Conclusions The first benefits of implementing the activity-based costing method were realized in the management reporting system. avoiding the creation and implementation of additional systems for similar purposes. Therefore. The high level of satisfaction with the results of the pilot made the management decide to develop the activity-based costing model and apply it to the whole company. Beyond that.

Sattareh Farmanfarmaian - Wikipedia
Sattāreh Farmānfarmā'iān (1921 – 23 May 2012; Persian: ستاره فرمانفرمائیان) was one of the daughters of Persian nobleman Abdol Hossein Mirza Farmanfarma of the Qajar dynasty.
5 Tehran School of Social Work
Sattareh Farman-Farmaian, a daughter of Abdol Hossein Mirza Farmanfarma (c. 1858–1939), Prince of the Qajar dynasty, and Massumeh (third wife of eight), was born in Shiraz, Iran, in 1921, the fifteenth of thirty-six children (and third of nine children by her mother Massumeh). She had four brothers (Farough, Ghaffar, Rashid and Sabbar) and four sisters (Jabbareh "Jaby", Homy, Sory and Korshid).
Farman-Farmaian attended the Tarbiat School, a Bahá'í school in Tehran until its closing in 1933 by Reza Shah Pahlavi. Beginning in 1933, she attended the American School for Girls in the Presbyterian missionary compound in Tehran, renamed the Nurbaksh School. In 1943 she was accepted to Heidelberg College in Tiffin, Ohio, obtaining a visa to the United States in 1944. That year she left Tehran, travelling through India, and first attempted to sail to the United States from Bombay, but her ship was torpedoed and she and her fellow passengers were rescued by British destroyers who returned them to Bombay. Her second attempt to leave India was aboard the United States Navy troopship, U.S.S. General Butler, arriving in Los Angeles on July 4, 1944. The following day Dr. Samuel M. Jordan (who had been involved with the American School in Tehran) met her in Los Angeles and convinced the admissions director of the University of Southern California to admit her. Farman-Farmaian was the first Iranian to attend and graduate from the University of Southern California, completing her B.A. in sociology (February 1946) and her M. S. W. (June 1948).
Following graduation in 1948, she took a job in Los Angeles at the International Institute, a settlement house for Asians and other immigrants. In 1948, she married a University of Southern California film student from India, Arun Chaudhuri, and in 1949 gave birth to her daughter, Mitra. In 1952, her husband returned to India in an attempt to find film work through family connections. Several months later, he wrote to tell her he was unable to find work and, in effect, was deserting her.
Farman-Farmaian left Los Angeles in September 1952 for New York City, where two of her brothers lived, and took a job at Cities Service Oil, one of the companies that had been approached to assist Iran in selling its newly nationalized oil. In 1954, she left this position and accepted a two-year renewable position with the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a social welfare consultant to the government of Iraq, attempting to settle nomadic Arabic tribes in the desert. In the same year, with the assistance of a Cities Service Oil attorney, she applied for and was granted a divorce from Arun Chaudhuri. In June 1954 she left first for Tehran to visit her family, and then for Iraq to take on her new position. She had been able to keep her daughter Mitra with her for the first year in Bagdad, but, realizing that her work would take her to the desert, decided to send her to Dartington Hall in Devonshire, England, for her education.
Tehran School of Social Work[edit]
In 1958, Farman-Farmaian returned to Tehran to open a private two-year school to train social workers, the Tehran School of Social Work, and served as its director. The school was the first of its kind in Iran. Soon after, she assisted in the founding of the Family Planning Association of Iran which, with assistance from the Pathfinder Fund (now Pathfinder International), attempted to educate young mothers on family planning and the use of birth control in accordance with Islamic law. In the fall of 1958 she was called for an interview with Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, who himself pledged funds for the support of the school. In 1962 she was awarded the Alumni Award of Merit by the University of Southern California. Following the 1963 riots in which many protested the jailing of Ruhollah Khomeini (later Ayatollah Khomeini) and over two hundred were injured or killed by the military, the Tehran School of Social Work, was asked by Premier Asadollah Alam to identify the families of victims so that reparations could be paid. As a result of the school's successful effort, it received a regular budget from the government and was able to move to a more suitable building. In 1966 the school built the first of many Community Welfare Centers, partially funded by Empress Farah, at which classes in literacy, child care, nutrition, and women's health and hygiene were offered, each containing a family planning clinic.
By 1972, Farman-Farmaian had attained a position on the board of the International Association of Schools of Social Work and had become a vice president of the International Planned Parenthood Federation through which she became a member of the "Forward Look Study" task force and the International Planned Parenthood Federation special mission to China. In addition, she served as a delegate to the Bucharest Population Conference (1974), the Tehran International Human Rights Conference (1975), and the Mexico International Conference for Women's Year (1976). She continued as director of the Tehran School of Social Work until 1979, when political upheaval forced her to flee the country. From 1980 to 1992 she worked for Children's Services at the Los Angeles County Department of Social Services. In 1993, she received the Silver Achievement Award from the Greater Los Angeles YWCA and special commendations from both the County and City of Los Angeles.
In addition to her autobiography, Daughter of Persia: A Woman's Journey from Her Father's Harem through the Islamic Revolution (1992), she published "Social Work as Social Development: A Case History" (1996), On the Other Side of the China Wall (1977), "Early Marriage and Pregnancy in Traditional Islamic Society" (1975), Prostitution Problems in the City of Tehran (1969), Children and Teachers (1966), Country Profile of Iranian Family Planning and Social Welfare (1965), and Children's Needs (1960). She has lectured widely worldwide and in 1997 established a website to publicize and facilitate discussion of her autobiography.
