The document discusses the results of a study on the effects of exercise on memory and thinking abilities in older adults. The study found that regular exercise can help reduce the decline in thinking abilities that often occurs with age. Specifically, older adults who exercised regularly performed better on memory and thinking tests compared to those who did not exercise regularly.
O documento discute as complexidades do amor e dos relacionamentos. Em três frases: Discute que relacionamentos têm início, meio e fim e que é normal terminarem; que as pessoas não são perfeitas e se complementam, não se somam; e que o medo de se envolver é o pior, pois ninguém é terapeuta de outra pessoa.

El discurso de Gervasio Sánchez al recibir el Premio Ortega y Gasset de Fotografía criticó la venta de armas españolas a países en conflicto y mostró fotografías de sus "hijos adoptivos", víctimas de minas antipersonales en Mozambique, Camboya, Bosnia y Colombia. Denunció que los gobiernos españoles permiten estas ventas de armas que convierten a España en exportador de la muerte, a pesar de duplicarse las ventas de armas durante el anterior gobierno.
This is a presentation of pictures from our trip to the Amazon Rain Forest. We went Hiking and canoeing. It was a lot of fun! We saw many special plants, animals, and people and we visited many interesting places including the Kapawi Lodge that we stayed in. In this presentation there are some pictures of some of the wildlife that we saw. They are all real! (Except the picture of Earth that I put at the beginning.)

The document discusses the discriminant of the quadratic formula and how it relates to the number of solutions a quadratic equation has. It defines the discriminant as b^2 - 4ac, where a, b, and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation. If the discriminant is greater than 0, there are two solutions. If the discriminant is equal to 0, there is one solution. If it is less than 0, there are no solutions. It then works through examples of finding the discriminant and number of solutions for different quadratic equations.
Complexity in business arises from the diversity of markets, customers, products, processes, components (parts or materials) and suppliers that a company chooses to deal with. Most managers recognise that complexity
comes at a cost - both in activities and overhead. But to be competitive, it is important to understand where and how the market rewards differentiation, and to root out all complexity that cannot be justified.
Complexity can hinder the performance of supply chains and the proliferation of products can lead to excessive set-ups and costs during manufacture.
Errors in forecasting can be magnified which may increase the chance of stock-outs and drive up the costs of distribution. But the answer is not to simply cull products indiscriminately from the range. Companies need to
balance the costs of complexity with how the market values variety.
Many low-volume products lose money after the associated costs of complexity are accounted for. And some products thought to be adding complexity are
quite profitable, because they generate high margins. It may appear tempting just to eliminate ‘the tail’ of the portfolio of products. But the answer lies in understanding the inter-dependencies within the portfolio and pinpointing the trade-offs between the requirements of the market, revenues, costs, and stakeholders' ambitions for growth. People from Marketing, Sales, Development, Supply Chain and Manufacturing have different perspectives on
what needs to be done. Only by collaborating can complexity be reduced and contained.
The document contains results and standings from the 10th matchday of a youth football league. Villarreal D remains in first place with 23 points while Alcora B and Vall de Uxó B are in second and third with also 23 and 20 points respectively. Onda B lost 1-2 against Castellón B in this matchday. The document also includes previous matchday results and overall league standings.
Lean methodologies work for many different kinds of businesses because they always define value or output from the perspective of the customer. An activity that adds value is any operation that directly and positively changes
what is done to meet customers’ demands. Conversely, any activity that does not add value is deemed wasteful. Practitioners in Lean learn how to distinguish between activities that do and do not add value for the customer.
Waste is a key concept in Lean. It takes many forms. People and processes waste time, space, buildings, products, services, and so on. In any business that is failing, the waste may get so dense that it 'strangles' the organisation.
Once employees and managers absorb and act on the notion that waste is 'everything and anything that does not add value' all kinds of waste can be revealed. People who could see no waste before begin to see excess in the way
most operations are performed.

The purpose of a financial college is to put into effect, at every level in an organisation, unusually strong and coordinated practices of financial control.
Given powerful cultural and philosophical support, this approach acts as a check on the unilateral power of Managing Directors or their equivalents in subsidiary organisations. So it strengthens corporate compliance and
produces more rational decisions, and a better balanced process for taking them.

This book aims to help managers recognise, measure and control costs. Collinson Grant has been doing that for 40 years. And it is hard. The first challenge is to understand what influences costs and how they can be better related to outputs. The next is to find ways of keeping them under control, so that they rise only slowly when business is growing, but fall fast if turnover declines. These aims apply equally in services, manufacturing and the public sector.
Direct costs are usually better recognised and understood because managers can see the direct relationship between the output and the effort and materials applied. Indirect costs, on the other hand, are a little more difficult to define, as this book shows. Overhead is a term often used, but it is neither precisely defined not properly understood by most managers. It can assume a grandeur and immobility that defy any rational attempt to bring it under control, let alone reduce it. But indirect activities can cover every effort: to support production; to serve customers; to run traditional 'back office' processes; and to develop and maintain the organisation. This very complexity offers opportunities and presents risks. It means that managers must learn the interrelationships between activities and costs, and the options these present to tighten control and reduce expenditure.
Written by Collinson Grant's consultants, this book draws on their experience of restructuring large businesses in Europe, the USA and worldwide, including projects to integrate acquisitions or merge operations, change the organisational structure, reduce costs, improve profit, and manage transition.

This transcript summarizes a conference call between HSBC executives and analysts discussing HSBC's third quarter 2008 results.
The key points are:
1) HSBC reported pre-tax profits in Q3 2008 that were ahead of Q3 2007, though profits for the first nine months were lower than the same period in 2007. Strong results in Asia helped offset weakness in the US.
2) Global Banking & Markets was profitable in Q3 driven by emerging markets performance.
3) HSBC continued to generate capital in Q3 and improved its Tier 1 capital ratio to 8.9%, towards the top of its target range. This allowed further investments in emerging markets.
