Head of Apple University gives in-depth look at the company's unique structure, key leadership qualities, more
Dean and VP of Apple University, Joel Podolny has shared a fascinating look today inside how Apple has structured its business around the goal of innovation and along the way describes how Apple is different from most large companies, the 3 key qualities it looks for in leaders, and much more.
Podolny along with Morten Hansen, a faculty member at Apple University detailed the deep dive into Apple's organizational structure in the Harvard Business Review.
The two open by highlighting how much Apple has grown since Steve Jobs returned to the company in 1997 with 8,000 employees and $7 billion in revenue to 2019: 137,000 employees and $260 billion in revenue.
Interestingly, Apple has kept the same centralized business structure to this day that Jobs put in place the day he arrived back at the company in 1997:
When Jobs arrived back at Apple, it had a conventional structure for a company of its size and scope. It was divided into business units, each with its own P&L responsibilities. General managers ran the Macintosh products group, the information appliances division, and the server products division, among others. As is often the case with decentralized business units, managers were inclined to fight with one another, over transfer prices in particular. Believing that conventional management had stifled innovation, Jobs, in his first year returning as CEO, laid off the general managers of all the business units (in a single day), put the entire company under one P&L, and combined the disparate functional departments of the business units into one functional organization.
Podolny and Hansen highlight that even though most large companies have adopted decentralized or multidivisional structures, Apple is proof that it's not the only way, and in fact that its functional structure could be an advantage in a fast-paced business landscape.
Business history and organizational theory make the case that as entrepreneurial firms grow large and complex, they must shift from a functional to a multidivisional structure to align accountability and control and prevent the congestion that occurs when countless decisions flow up the org chart to the very top. Giving business unit leaders full control over key functions allows them to do what is best to meet the needs of their individual units' customers and maximize their results, and it enables the executives overseeing them to assess their performance. As the Harvard Business School historian Alfred Chandler documented, U.S. companies such as DuPont and General Motors moved from a functional to a multidivisional structure in the early 20th century. By the latter half of the century the vast majority of large corporations had followed suit. Apple proves that this conventional approach is not necessary and that the functional structure may benefit companies facing tremendous technological change and industry upheaval.
They go on to clarify that Apple keeping its centralized, functional structure for more than two decades doesn't mean there hasn't been change.
Apple's commitment to a functional organization does not mean that its structure has remained static. As the importance of artificial intelligence and other new areas has increased, that structure has changed. Here we discuss the innovation benefits and leadership challenges of Apple's distinctive and ever-evolving organizational model, which may be useful for individuals and companies wanting to better understand how to succeed in rapidly changing environments.
So why does Apple see this approach as the best fit?
Apple's main purpose is to create products that enrich people's daily lives. That involves not only developing entirely new product categories such as the iPhone and the Apple Watch, but also continually innovating within those categories. Perhaps no product feature better reflects Apple's commitment to continuous innovation than the iPhone camera. When the iPhone was introduced, in 2007, Steve Jobs devoted only six seconds to its camera in the annual keynote event for unveiling new products. Since then iPhone camera technology has contributed to the photography industry with a stream of innovations: High dynamic range imaging (2010), panorama photos (2012), True Tone flash (2013), optical image stabilization (2015), the dual-lens camera (2016), portrait mode (2016), portrait lighting (2017), and night mode (2019) are but a few of the improvements.
To create such innovations, Apple relies on a structure that centers on functional expertise. Its fundamental belief is that those with the most expertise and experience in a domain should have decision rights for that domain. This is based on two views: First, Apple competes in markets where the rates of technological change and disruption are high, so it must rely on the judgment and intuition of people with deep knowledge of the technologies responsible for disruption. Long before it can get market feedback and solid market forecasts, the company must make bets about which technologies and designs are likely to succeed in smartphones, computers, and so on. Relying on technical experts rather than general managers increases the odds that those bets will pay off.
The second reason is removing the conflict of interest of making the best products and short-term profit.
Second, Apple's commitment to offer the best possible products would be undercut if short-term profit and cost targets were the overriding criteria for judging investments and leaders. Significantly, the bonuses of senior R&D executives are based on companywide performance numbers rather than the costs of or revenue from particular products. Thus product decisions are somewhat insulated from short-term financial pressures. The finance team is not involved in the product road map meetings of engineering teams, and engineering teams are not involved in pricing decisions.
Here's an interesting story about how this works in practice:
In a functional organization, individual and team reputations act as a control mechanism in placing bets. A case in point is the decision to introduce the dual-lens camera with portrait mode in the iPhone 7 Plus in 2016. It was a big wager that the camera's impact on users would be sufficiently great to justify its significant cost.
One executive told us that Paul Hubel, a senior leader who played a central role in the portrait mode effort, was "out over his skis," meaning that he and his team were taking a big risk: If users were unwilling to pay a premium for a phone with a more costly and better camera, the team would most likely have less credibility the next time it proposed an expensive upgrade or feature. The camera turned out to be a defining feature for the iPhone 7 Plus, and its success further enhanced the reputations of Hubel and his team.
The article goes on to detail the 3 main leadership characteristics that Apple looks for:
Ever since Steve Jobs implemented the functional organization, Apple's managers at every level, from senior vice president on down, have been expected to possess three key leadership characteristics: deep expertise that allows them to meaningfully engage in all the work being done within their individual functions; immersion in the details of those functions; and a willingness to collaboratively debate other functions during collective decision-making. When managers have these attributes, decisions are made in a coordinated fashion by the people most qualified to make them.
Here's an example of the experts leading experts approach:
In a functional organization, experts leading experts means that specialists create a deep bench in a given area, where they can learn from one another. For example, Apple's more than 600 experts on camera hardware technology work in a group led by Graham Townsend, a camera expert. Because iPhones, iPads, laptops, and desktop computers all include cameras, these experts would be scattered across product lines if Apple were organized in business units. That would dilute their collective expertise, reducing their power to solve problems and generate and refine innovations.
Characteristic number 2, here's why Apple leaders are expected to be immersed in the details:
One principle that permeates Apple is "Leaders should know the details of their organization three levels down," because that is essential for speedy and effective cross-functional decision-making at the highest levels. If managers attend a decision-making meeting without the details at their disposal, the decision must either be made without the details or postponed. Managers tell war stories about making presentations to senior leaders who drill down into cells on a spreadsheet, lines of code, or a test result on a product.
Finally, here's why collaborative debate is a key leadership skill at Apple:
Apple has hundreds of specialist teams across the company, dozens of which may be needed for even one key component of a new product offering. For example, the dual-lens camera with portrait mode required the collaboration of no fewer than 40 specialist teams: silicon design, camera software, reliability engineering, motion sensor hardware, video engineering, core motion, and camera sensor design, to name just a few. How on earth does Apple develop and ship products that require such coordination? The answer is collaborative debate. Because no function is responsible for a product or a service on its own, cross-functional collaboration is crucial.
When debates reach an impasse, as some inevitably do, higher-level managers weigh in as tiebreakers, including at times the CEO and the senior VPs. To do this at speed with sufficient attention to detail is challenging for even the best of leaders, making it all the more important that the company fill many senior positions from within the ranks of its VPs, who have experience in Apple's way of operating.
However, given Apple's size and scope, even the executive team can resolve only a limited number of stalemates. The many horizontal dependencies mean that ineffective peer relationships at the VP and director levels have the potential to undermine not only particular projects but the entire company. Consequently, for people to attain and remain in a leadership position within a function, they must be highly effective collaborators.
Podolny and Hansen also discuss how leadership has scaled as Apple has grown:
Apple's way of organizing has led to tremendous innovation and success over the past two decades. Yet it has not been without challenges, especially with revenues and head count having exploded since 2008.
As the company has grown, entering new markets and moving into new technologies, its functional structure and leadership model have had to evolve. Deciding how to organize areas of expertise to best enable collaboration and rapid decision-making has been an important responsibility of the CEO. The adjustments Tim Cook has implemented in recent years include dividing the hardware function into hardware engineering and hardware technologies; adding artificial intelligence and machine learning as a functional area; and moving human interface out of software to merge it with industrial design, creating an integrated design function.
They explain further:
Another challenge posed by organizational growth is the pressure it imposes on the several hundred VPs and directors below the executive team. If Apple were to cap the size or scope of a senior leader's organization to limit the number and breadth of details that the leader is expected to own, the company would need to hugely expand the number of senior leaders, making the kind of collaboration that has worked so well impossible to preserve.
Cognizant of this problem, Apple has been quite disciplined about limiting the number of senior positions to minimize how many leaders must be involved in any cross-functional activity. In 2006, the year before the iPhone's launch, the company had some 17,000 employees; by 2019 that number had grown more than eightfold, to 137,000. Meanwhile, the number of VPs approximately doubled, from 50 to 96. The inevitable result is that senior leaders head larger and more diverse teams of experts, meaning more details to oversee and new areas of responsibility that fall outside their core expertise.
In response, many Apple managers over the past five years or so have been evolving the leadership approach described above: experts leading experts, immersion in the details, and collaborative debate. We have codified these adaptions in what we call the discretionary leadership model, which we have incorporated into a new educational program for Apple's VPs and directors. Its purpose is to address the challenge of getting this leadership approach to drive innovation in all areas of the company, not just product development, at an ever-greater scale.
Here's a look at how Apple's VP of applications Roger Rosner approaches his leadership role:
In closing, Podolny and Hansen share that Apple's structure is rare and includes risks, but can offer "extraordinary results."
Apple's functional organization is rare, if not unique, among very large companies. It flies in the face of prevailing management theory that companies should be reorganized into divisions and business units as they become large. But something vital gets lost in a shift to business units: the alignment of decision rights with expertise.
Why do companies so often cling to having general managers in charge of business units? One reason, we believe, is that making the change is difficult. It entails overcoming inertia, reallocating power among managers, changing an individual-oriented incentive system, and learning new ways of collaborating. That is daunting when a company already faces huge external challenges. An intermediate step may be to cultivate the experts-leading-experts model even within a business unit structure. For example, when filling the next senior management role, pick someone with deep expertise in that area as opposed to someone who might make the best general manager. But a full-fledged transformation requires that leaders also transition to a functional organization. Apple's track record proves that the rewards may justify the risks. Its approach can produce extraordinary results.

During Graduate Fashion Week we talked to eight budding eco fashion design students from London, New Zealand and India, to find out how easy "being ethical" actually is and why so many of our future designers seem so disinterested in saving our planet.There are brave young students who aren't afraid of tackling ethical issues head on: sticking to their eco principles even if it means adding extra time and effort to their workload. But what is it about "ethical fashion" that has other students running for the hills and what needs to be done to change things?
As Amy, a Fashion Design and Technology graduate from Manchester Metropolitan Universitytold us, "My university really encouraged us to look at … [the] growing awareness and concern about sustainability." .
Eco-conscious design students are incredibly perceptive to the fickle nature of fashion and are naturally adapting their designs, to appeal to the mass market. One of the common threads of these budding eco designers' work, for example, is to address the pre-conceived "hippie" notions of ethical design; getting people to see it "as 'Fashion' not just Sustainable Fashion", asFashion Design and Technology graduate from Manchester Metropolitan University, Amy, puts it.They are achieving this by keeping up with current trends and making items that are as easy or easier to care for than fast fashion items.

Obama to Address American Jewish Groups on Iran Deal
9:13 PM Agreement
U.S. President Barack Obama is set to participate in a live webcast Friday to address concerns from the American Jewish community about the nuclear agreement with Iran.
Obama will deliver remarks about the disputed deal signed by the United States, Iran and five world powers and take questions from participants.
The webcast is being organized by two major Jewish organizations that have held similar events with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz.
Obama's sanctions chief, a top U.S. Treasury Department official who helped negotiate the accord, is scheduled to arrive for a three-day visit in Israel Friday just hours before the president's webcast.
The Israeli government strenuously opposes the agreement, which seeks to keep Iran from building a nuclear bomb in exchange for international sanctions relief.
Adam Szubin, the U.S. acting under secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, will defend the nuclear containment deal and try to reassure Israel's government and public that the United States is ready to impose tough financial penalties on Tehran for its sponsorship of terrorism and support for military proxies.
A U.S. Treasury Department spokesperson said Szubin will meet with Dore Gold, director-general of Israel's Foreign Ministry, National Security Adviser Yossi Cohen and Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz, who has been a leading voice against the Iran deal.
Critics say the agreement makes too many concessions and could eventually allow for a nuclear-armed Iran. Obama counters that the deal contains the most comprehensive inspection and verification regime ever negotiated to monitor a nuclear program.
The agreement faces a vote in Congress within weeks.

Vitamin D is anticipated to have many extra-skeletal health benefits. We questioned whether supplementation with the vitamin influenced body weight and composition. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted on high-quality, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that had supplemented vitamin D without imposing any caloric restriction. Eighteen trials reporting either body weight, body mass index (BMI), fat mass (FM), percentage fat mass (%FM) or lean body mass (LBM) met our criteria. Twelve studies provided the required data for the meta-analysis. Vitamin D supplementation did not influence the standardized mean difference (SMD) for body weight, FM, %FM or LBM. A small but non-significant decrease in BMI (SMD = -0.097, 95% confidence interval: [-0.210, 0.016], P = 0.092) was observed. Meta-regression confirmed that neither the absolute vitamin D status achieved nor its change from baseline influenced the SMD of any obesity measure. However, increasing age of the subjects predicted a shift in the SMD for FM towards the placebo treatment, whereas a greater percentage of women in these studies favoured a decrease in FM following vitamin D. Vitamin D supplementation did not decrease measures of adiposity in the absence of caloric restriction. A potential confounding by age and gender was encountered.

Wheel bearings are a vital part of a vehicle's suspension. Usually located in the wheel's hub, rotor, or brake drum, bearings help the wheel rotate smoothly when the vehicle moves. If you notice a humming or whirring noise while you are driving or your ABS light turns on, it may be time to change your bearings. You can save money by changing your own wheel bearings rather than going to a mechanic, but if you do so, use caution — the bearings may be small, but they're very important.
Park your vehicle on a flat surface. As with most types of auto maintenance, you'll want to take all necessary precautions when changing your vehicle's wheel bearings to ensure your safety. The worst thing that can happen when changing your wheel bearings is for your vehicle to suddenly shift or roll away. Before you begin, park your vehicle on a level surface. Put the vehicle in park (or, for manuals, 1st, reverse, or neutral) and be sure to put the parking brake up.[1]
Note: Every vehicle is different. The instructions below are intended as a general set of guidelines and thus will not perfectly fit every vehicle. If you run into problems while attempting to change your wheel bearing or have doubts after you finish, it's very wise to enlist the help of a professional mechanic. Doing so can save time, prevent future headaches, and save money in the long run.
Use wheel chocks to secure wheels whose bearings you aren't replacing. For added stability, it can be smart to use sturdy chocks to hold your vehicle's wheels in place. Obviously, you'll want to use chocks on the wheels you don't plan on modifying, as the wheels you do modify will be elevated off the ground. For example, you would place wheel chocks behind the rear tires if you are fixing a front wheel bearing and behind the front tires if you are working on a rear wheel.[2]
Loosen the lug nuts and lift the wheel using a jack. For proper access to the internal components of the wheel whose bearings you're replacing, you'll need to elevate the wheel. Luckily, most vehicles come with a jack for just this purpose. Before you lift the wheel, however, you may want to slightly loosen the lug nuts with a tire iron, as breaking their initial resistance is harder without the ground holding the wheel steady. After this, carefully lift your wheel.[3] If your vehicle doesn't come with a jack, you may need to buy a suitable jack at an auto supply store. See wikiHow's guide on how to change a tire for help elevating your vehicle's wheel.
To prevent dangerous slippage, make sure that the vehicle is securely seated on the jack and that the jack is flush with the ground before attempting to lift the wheel. It's also important to make sure the jack touches the vehicle on a sturdy, metal piece of the undercarriage, rather than on fragile plastic molding, as the weight of the vehicle can damage the latter.
Most vehicles have jack points where the frame has extra support to lift the vehicle. It's best to check the owners manual to learn the best place to position your jack.
It is also extremely wise to use a safety jack stand for added support in the event the floor or scissor jack fails.
Unscrew the lug nuts and remove the wheel. The lug nuts, which you should have already loosened, should come off easily. Remove these and put them in a safe place where you won't lose them. Next, remove the wheel itself. It should come freely.[4]
Some like to keep track of the lugnuts by removing the hubcap, turning it over, and using it as a sort of "plate" to contain them.
Remove the brake caliper. Using a socket and a ratchet, remove the caliper's bolts. Then, remove the caliper itself using a screwdriver.[5]
When removing the caliper, be careful not to let it dangle freely, as this can damage the brake hose. Instead, hook it on a secure part of the undercarriage or use a short length of string to tie it in place. A bungee cord or a bent wire hanger are two additional ways to secure the caliper.[6]
Remove the dust cover, cotter pin, and castle nut.[7] In the center of the vehicle's exposed rotor should be a small metal or plastic cap called the dust cover which protects the components holding the rotor in place. Since you'll need to remove the rotor, the cap and the components it protects will have to go. Usually, the dust cover can be removed by gripping it with calipers and tapping the calipers with a hammer. Inside, you'll find the castle nut, usually secured with a cotter pin. Remove the cotter pin with pliers or wire cutters, then unscrew the castle nut and remove it (and its washer).
Be sure to keep these small but important parts somewhere that they won't be lost!
Remove the rotor. Place your thumb securely on the peg in the middle of the rotor assembly. Firmly (but somewhat gently) bump the rotor itself with the palm of your other hand. The wheel's outer bearing should loosen or fall out. Remove the outer bearing. Finally, remove the rotor itself.
If the rotor gets stuck, you can use a rubber mallet to hit it loose. This can, however, damage the rotor, so it's best to use a mallet only if you are not planning on reusing the same rotor.
Unscrew the hub bolts and remove the old hub. The wheel bearing is inside the hub, which is usually held in place with several bolts that screw in from behind. These bolts can be tricky to reach because they're tucked away in the undercarriage, so you may want to use a skinny socket wrench and/or a breaker bar to loosen and remove them. When you've removed the bolts, take the hub off of the axle.
Note that if you've purchased a new hub assembly, at this point, you can install the new hub and put the wheel back together and you'll be finished. To install a new set of bearings inside the hub, read on.
Disassemble the hub assembly. To gain access to the bearings, you'll need to take apart the hub. You'll probably need to use a wrench (and/or a hammer) to remove the end of the hub and any anti-lock brake wheel that may be part of your hub. Then, you may need to use a specialized "puller" tool to remove the central bolt. The bearing assembly should come apart easily.
Remove races and clean the knuckle. Removing the bearing assembly's races usually means physically breaking them with a grinder or hammer and chisel. Because of this, you'll want to have replacement races ready. After removing the races, it's a good idea to clean the inside of the bearing assembly around the knuckle.
There's usually lots of grease and grime here, so have plenty of rags handy.
Install new races and new wheel bearings. Set new races in place in the bearing assembly with a few taps from a hammer. Finally, grease a new inner bearing and install it in the assembly. Ensure the bearings are properly aligned, that they're pushed in as far as they can go, and that any sealing rings are flush with the outside of the assembly.[8]
Use lots of grease for your bearings. You can apply the grease by hand or with a special "bearing packer" tool.[9] Rub plenty of extra grease around the outsides of your bearings and any sealing rings.
Replace all parts in reverse order. Now that you've changed the bearings, basically all that's left to do is to re-build your vehicle's wheel. Don't forget, however, that this means installing a new outer bearing after the rotor is in place. Put the hub assembly back together and install it on the axle shaft. Put the rotor back on and secure it in place with its bolts. Install a new, well-greased outer bearing at this point. Lightly tighten the castle nut and secure it in place with a new cotter pin. Replace the dust cap. Put the caliper and brake pads back in place and secure them with the appropriate bolts. Finally, put the tire back in place and secure it with lug nuts.
When you're all done, carefully lower the car back down to the ground with your jack. Congratulations - you've just changed your wheel bearings.
After changing the bearings I hear a knocking sound when applying the brakes. What could have gone wrong?
Austinisgreat
They may not be aligned in the proper places. It also depends on the kind of bearings you got in the first place.
Do I need to torque the castle nut to preload the bearings?
This is certainly the case on some vehicles, although it may not apply to every car. If you have a workshop manual handy, check it for torque specs. Otherwise, check online forums to see if someone else has shared the information for your specific car.
What's the cost of replacement?
Costs will vary greatly depending on make and model. The bearings themselves may cost between $40 and $100. The labor to install them may also vary vehicle to vehicle, so mechanics' quotes may vary.
What will happen if I don't change bad wheel bearings?
Logic Johnson Lafontaine
Your wheel(s) will eventually seize up while you're driving, you will probably lose steering, and, at the right speed, you could easily end up dead.
How is the hub attached?
The hub is bolted to the steering knuckle from the inside, usually with 3 bolts.
What tools do I need to replace a wheel bearing?
Needle-nose pliers, a ratchet wrench with various sized sockets, flat-head screwdriver, jack and a star wrench for loosening nuts on the wheel.
Is a wheel alignment necessary after a wheel bearing replacement?
It's only necessary if you remove the bolts that hold the strut. If you don't touch those bolts, then a wheel alignment won't be necessary.
What should I do if the hub is stuck and I can't get the wheel off?
If the rim/tire won't come off, just get your lug nuts halfway on, jack the car back down, and let it roll for a few feet. The weight of the car on the wheel should break it loose. If the rotor is stuck to the hub, you're probably going to need a torch and a rubber mallet; heat, hammer, and repeat. If the hub is seized to the knuckle/axle, you can try breaking them apart by sledgehammering the axle. (Make sure you spin the axle nut onto the end of it so you don't mushroom the threads with your sledge, and put it on backwards so you're banging on the flat side, not damaging the castellated side.)
Can I change only one side of my wheel bearings?
Yes, but it's a good idea to both. If one side is worn down, the other probably is too.
Why doesn't my speedometer move after changing the wheel bearings on both sides?
My guess is that something happened to your wheel speed sensors. You may have damaged them during the replacement, or you may have forgotten to reconnect them. While you're at it, check the ABS sensors.

To change wheel bearings, start by lifting the wheel up on a jack, unscrewing the lug nuts, and taking the wheel off. Then, remove the brake caliper, the dust cover over the rotor, and the cotter pin and castle nut behind the dust cover. Next, pull the rotor off, remove the old hub, and take apart the hub assembly to access the wheel bearings. Once you've done that, break and remove the old races, and install new races and wheel bearings. Finally, reassemble the wheel. To learn how to safely jack up your vehicle, keep reading!

Chinese scientists discover new swine flu with pandemic potential
(KY3)
Published: Jun. 30, 2020 at 1:10 PM CDT
Health experts are keeping a close eye on a new swine flu virus found that's a lot like the one that circulated more than a decade ago.
The disease, which researchers are calling the G4 virus, is genetically descended from the H1N1 swine flu that caused a pandemic in 2009.
G4 now shows "all the essential hallmarks of a candidate pandemic virus," according to the study, published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
It appears the virus has been circulating in China's pig population since 2016 with few instances of pig-to-human transmission.
The potential of human-to-human contagion has not been confirmed.
Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at Columbia University's public health school, said there's no immediate threat.
"Our understanding of what is a potential pandemic influenza strain is limited," she posted on Twitter. "Sure, this virus meets a lot of the basic criteria but it's not for sure going to cause a hypothetical 2020 flu pandemic, or even be a dominant strain in humans."
The World Health Organization said it's closely monitoring new data as it emerges.
In 2009, the H1N1 swine flu pandemic killed an estimated 151,700 to 575,400 people globally. In the aftermath, authorities and scientists stepped up surveillance of pig populations to watch for viruses with "pandemic potential."

Diego Maradon has been appointed coach of UAE's Fujairah FC.
Argentina's Diego Maradona appointed coach of United Arab Emirates soccer team Fujairah FC. The club released a statement on this regard on Sunday. "Official: our Giants coach of Al Fujairah," the club said in a statement alongside a picture of Maradona holding the club's red and white shirt with his name and No. 10 on the back.
Maradona has the task of guiding the club back to the first division after they failed at the first attempt following relegation. It is not the first time that the Argentine great has taken over the reins of a team. After ending his playing career, Maradona managed Argentine club Textile Mandiyu and then. He remained in Argentina for a few more years before taking over the reins of the national team.
Under Maradona, Argentina played in the 2010 World Cup where they crashed out in the quarter finals following a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Germany.

Japan's Asada aims for winning start at NHK Trophy
IndiatimesUpdated on Nov 10, 2011, 19:16 IST
SAPPORO: With two of her biggest rivals on a sabbatical, two-time world champion Mao Asada of Japan is aiming for a confidence-boosting win to open her figure skating season at this weekend's NHK Trophy.
With archrival Kim Yu-na of South Korea sitting out the season and world champion Miki Ando of Japan also taking the year off, Asada would appear to have a clear path to another world title, but will need to overcome a recent spell of inconsistency.
The Nov. 11-13 NHK Trophy is the fourth event of the 2011 International Skating Union's Grand Prix series.
At last year's NHK Trophy, Asada, the Vancouver 2010 silver medalist, placed a dismal eighth in her hometown of Nagoya, a result that ensured she would not qualify for the ISU's Grand Prix Final.
The disappointing performance was the beginning of what would be the worst season of her competitive career in which she failed to win a single event.
Asada will debut a new program in Sapporo as she bids to regain the form that allowed her to claim world titles in 2008 and 2010.
Asada's primary competition in Sapporo will come from compatriot Akiko Suzuki, who was second at Skate Canada two weeks ago, American Ashley Wagner, third at Skate Canada, Russia's Alena Leonova and Finland's Kiira Korpi.
Suzuki and Wagner have a good shot to qualify for the Grand Prix final here.
Vancouver Olympic bronze medalist Daisuke Takahashi of Japan will headline a strong field in the men's event. Takahashi is coming off a third-place finish at Skate Canada. Takahashi and 2011 world silver medalist Takahiko Kozuka, third at Skate America, could both book spots for Japan in the Grand Prix final with strong performances here.
Tomas Verner of the Czech Republic and Brandon Mroz of the United States will compete in their first grand prix event this season.
In the pairs event, three-time world champion Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy of Germany will be the favorites after winning gold at Skate America. They will be challenged by 2010 European champions Yuko Kawaguchi and Alexander Smirnov of Russia, who took gold this season at the Cup of China last week.
World ice dance bronze medalists Maia Shibutani and Alex Shibutani of the United States claimed silver at the Cup of China and will be looking to secure a spot in the Grand Prix final in Sapporo along with Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje of Canada, who took silver at Skate Canada.
The NHK Trophy begins Friday with the short dance, women's free skate and the pairs short program.

Sony Pictures Set To Release Two 'Bad Boys' Sequels And 'Jumanji' Remake
by Peter Bolling
Comments Off on Sony Pictures Set To Release Two 'Bad Boys' Sequels And 'Jumanji' Remake
It appears Sony Pictures is going to have a full plate in 2017 as it recently released its list of upcoming films for the year – including two Bad Boys sequels and even a Jumanji remake, though the latter is raising some serious questions with fans of the Robin Williams original.
Due to the big box-office success of Bad Boys 2, it's surprising that a third instalment of the action-comedy has taken over 12 years to come to fruition – especially considering Will Smith and Martin Lawrence have always expressed their interest in filming another sequel. Unfortunately, original director Michael Bay will not be returning to the directors helm and instead has handed over his directors chair to Smokin' Aces (2006) visionary Joe Carahan with Safe House (2012) writer David Guggenheim attached to pen the screenplay.
Though Will Smith and Martin Lawrence have often spoken of sequels, both actors have yet to officially commit to the projects, leaving some questions as to the potential direction of this franchise were they not to pick up their characters again – something hopefully Sony will make clear in the coming months.
Another project announced by Sony Pictures is that of a Jumanji reboot – the hit film made famous by the late Robin Williams who played a boy trapped in a mysterious board game, only to be released as a man by two unsuspecting kids 25 years later.
Most details about the film and why Sony feel it necessary to reboot an already classic children's film is a mystery to most I'm sure – it probably stems from rumours a couple of years ago regarding a potential sequel that would star Williams. In the wake of the announcement, the studio has seen a overwhelming backlash from social media users who've been more than forthcoming in regards to their anger at the prospect of another cinematic classic falling victim the over-active Hollywood remake system.
When Jumanji released back in 1995, it was seen as a marvel in terms of special effects that were just breaking through into main stream Hollywood. Many people were quick to criticise Sony for attempting to remake a film held sacred by fans of the late actor but despite their protests, the studio seems determined to push it into production having set a release date of Christmas Day, 2016.
Another big name release on the calendar is Jennifer Lawrence's and Chris Pratt's highly publicised sci-fi drama Passengers. The film has been the centre of a recent Hollywood storm regarding equal pay, a battle that has seen Lawrence recieve a $10 million pay increase over her male co-star. Something that seems unfair considering Pratt's recent blockbuster Jurassic World became the third highest grossing film of all time, proving the actor to be a guaranteed money maker at the box office.

New nanometer scale heterostructure particles of the two-dimensional Hofmann-like Fe(II) spin-crossover network, Fe(phpy)2[Ni(CN)4]·0.5H2O {phpy = 4-phenylpyridine}, and the Prussian blue analogue K0.4Ni1.0[Cr(CN)6]0.8·nH2O (NiCr-PBA) have been developed, exhibiting synergistic photomagnetic effects, whereby the LIESST (light-induced electron spin-state trapping) effect in the Hofmann-like material induces a magnetization change in the NiCr-PBA. A variety of microscopic and spectroscopic techniques demonstrate the heterogeneous growth of the NiCr-PBA on the Hofmann seed particles and show the Hofmann compound retains its thermal and photoinduced spin transition properties in the heterostructure. The photoinduced magnetization change in the NiCr-PBA network arises from coupling of the two lattices despite dissimilar structure types. Isothermal magnetization minor hysteresis loop studies at 5 K show light absorption leads to changes in the local anisotropy of NiCr-PBA magnetic domains, providing direct evidence for a general magnetomechanical mechanism of light-switchable magnetism in coordination polymer heterostructures combining a photoactive material with a magnet.

Highland Park will face a rematch with San Antonio Alamo Heights for the Class 5A state title. (PHOTO: Chris McGathey)
Park Cities Sports
Scots Look to Continue Dominance at State
Highland Park will aim to extend its own state record with a 21st state championship in team tennis on Tuesday in College Station.
The Scots have won the last four titles in Class 5A and will face a familiar rival in San Antonio Alamo Heights in the championship match. HP will travel to the state tournament for the 33rd consecutive year.
HP defeated Alamo Heights 10-1 in last year's final. The Mules also were the runner-up to the Scots in 2012 and 2016. They defeated A&M Consolidated last week in the semifinals.
Meanwhile, HP has scored dominant victories in every playoff round thus far, including a 10-5 win over previously unbeaten Amarillo on Friday in the other semifinal.
In that clash, the Scots took a 4-3 lead after the doubles matches before accumulating singles wins by Ray Saalfield, Leo Hall, Carl Newell, Mia Rogozinski, Hayden Bethea, and Christiane Mandes.
Earlier along its postseason path, the Scots withstood challenges from Cleburne, Hallsville, Ennis, Frisco Heritage, and Frisco Centennial.

AniRecs: A Brief History
June 13th, 2016 in Eden of the East by The Droid
OK, so when "Eden of the East: The King of Eden" came out, I was very nervous, as I felt it was going to be a recap movie, as we cobble together the salient parts from the TV series and present it as a 'movie'. Nope, that is not the case. If anything, it goes on to tell more story and (eventually) conclude the tale. It has been about six months since the end of the series. Things in the world are 'normal' (whatever that really means). We find our heroine, Saki Morimi in the Big Apple, trying to chase down the Air King (whom we know as Akira Takizawa), but she runs into trouble right from the get-go.
She has been asked by him to meet in New York, but between a grumpy cabbie and her suitcase spilling open, showing some weaponry, the cops are right after her. She manages to escape all that and find Takizawa, but he has had a memory wipe again and knows nothing of which she speaks. Adding to the confusion is the potential idea that he is the illegitimate son of the Prime Minister, who has just died. And thus paving the way for him to be not only the 'Prince of Japan', but finally bring to fruition HIS plan to 'save Japan'. (more…)

You can apply at the time you register your business for VAT, or any time later. If you apply near the time of your VAT registration, you can start using the scheme from the date you are registered for VAT.
If a proportion of your supplies are exempt, or zero rated, it may not be beneficial to adopt the scheme.
Once you leave the scheme you cannot re-join it until twelve months have elapsed.
Example sector rates (from 4 January 2011): Engineer (including general, civil, structural) 14.5%; Computer, IT Consultancy or Data Processing 14.5%; Management Consultancy 14.0%.
A guide to working out your flat rate percentage and the options arising from these changes and the VAT you need to pay on the Flat Rate Scheme is available from HMRC.

Gold dips to near 2-week low on solid China data, trade deal optimism
Gold prices fell to their lowest in nearly two weeks on Tuesday as risk appetite was whetted by stronger-than-expected China economic data and the imminent signing of a preliminary US-China trade deal.
Spot gold slipped 0.4 per cent to $1,541.81 per ounce by 0725 GMT. Earlier in the day, prices fell to their lowest since Jan. 3 at $1,535.63. US gold futures dropped 0.5 per cent to $1,542.40.
Asian shares rallied amid signs of goodwill between the world's two top economies as they prepared to sign a truce in their 18-month-long tariff dispute that has upended the global economy.
"It is mainly because of increased risk appetite and US removing China's label as a currency manipulator that has greatly eased any economic tensions between these two countries," said Helen Lau, analyst at Argonaut Securities.
Just a day before the Phase 1 trade deal signing, the US Treasury on Monday dropped China's designation as a currency manipulator, signalling a further thawing of relations.
US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said the Chinese translation of the deal was nearly done and would be made public prior to the signing ceremony on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, a Reuters report said China has pledged to buy nearly an additional $80 billion of manufactured goods and over $50 billion more in energy supplies from the United States over the next two years.
However, concerns remained that the trade war that has roiled global markets over the past one and a half years is not over.
Data out of China showed exports rose for the first time in five months in December, while imports also surpassed expectations.
Stronger-than-expected import and export numbers showed stabilisation of the Chinese economy – a very positive sign for global economic growth, Argonaut Securities' Lau said.
Gold prices gained 18 per cent last year mainly driven by the tariff dispute and its impact on the global economy.
"With such strong global growth sentiment evident in markets around the world, and a lack of geopolitical tensions to give support, gold's price erosion is likely to continue," Jeffrey Halley, senior market analyst, OANDA, said in a note.
Spot gold may fall towards $1,524 per ounce, according to Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao.
Elsewhere, silver was down 1.2 per cent to $17.76 per ounce, having hit its lowest since late December at $17.64 earlier in the session.
Palladium was flat at $2,132.83 an ounce, while platinum fell 0.6 per cent to $968.48.
