Sony's strategy of blind technical risk and market risk relations

Â Sony has undergone a series of performance crisis and stock market dive, the stock market fell to only half that of Samsung once. Order to regain the downturn, Sony launched a cost of 1.3 trillion yen of restructuring. How the Sony? Sony about to collapse yet? Sony Gairuhezou the doldrums? Sony is a global consumer electronics, home appliances industry leader. Sony, Samsung has been chasing goals. China's Liu, Li Dongsheng also to Sony as a learning example. However, the stock market in mid-July, but heaven and earth upside down, Sony's market capitalization of 29 billion U.S. dollars, Panasonic 280 million, while Samsung reached 55 billion U.S. dollars. Sony released the first quarter of fiscal 2003 (in 2003 April 1-June 30) report, the Group first quarter net income dropped by 98%. Mainly due to declining sales Trinitron television, the demand on the PS2 console is also decreasing. Sony estimated annual profit 500 billion yen (420 million U.S. dollars), operating profit of 130 billion yen on sales of 7.4 trillion yen. Sony's first-quarter operating profit of 16.67 billion yen, compared with a decrease of 67.9% over the same period last year. Gaming sector, operating profit declined compared with last year 31.6%, PS2 console first-quarter shipments fell by 42%, only 2.65 million. Sony's financial sector (including online banking and life insurance) and operating profit jumped 30%. Sony's consumer electronics products, profit margins continue to decline, attributed to Chinese and Korean companies in the price competition. Sony was a serious misreading I read nearly a million words information and Sony's financial statements, and related media reports and found that Sony was a grave misreading of the enterprise. Misreading Sony are not just media, financial journalists, but also internationally renowned financial institutions, analysts, and even high-level decision-makers such as Sony, Nobuyuki Idei. It is in recognition of briefing materials unreliable, the time of writing, I spent a lot of effort to read Sony's financial reports. The truth hidden behind the original data. Sony has not loss Sony domestic media reports, in order to pursue the title of the sensational effects, using a "huge loss", "down" and other words. In fact, Sony just did not meet performance expectations. From the first quarter fiscal year 2003, the data look, Sony net profit of 11.2 billion yen (9.43 million U.S. dollars), Â¥ 1.24 per share, compared with a net profit of 57.18 billion yen (484 million U.S. dollars ). Sony's first-quarter revenues fell to 1.6 trillion yen (13.5 billion U.S. dollars), down 6.9%. Very powerful Sony declined year on year performance, earnings per share 1.24 yen, equivalent to RMB 8 cents, capital profitability is very low. However, Sony is not a loss. Reasons for the decline of Sony performance not because of "diversity" Sony domestic media in the analysis, the performance of the Sony attributed the decrease in diversification. We through Sony's financial report, we can clearly see, Sony TV, computer and other electronic products are the most powerful sales decline and losses of the hardest hit. It is precisely the film, financial services profit driven, which makes Sony's overall financial statements are still small profits, and will not loss. 2002 fiscal year, Sony's gaming business, profit margin reached 11.8%, the film business profit margin reached 7.3%, only two businesses to create a joint operating profit of nearly 90%. The e-business profit margin was only 0.8%, Nobuyuki Idei, said this: "If Sony is defined as the media business, then the media industry in the United States have collapsed position into the occasion, Sony has no deficit, and profits increased steadily, and access to the liquidity. " Sony declines the real reason is: Sony to sell real estate policies have led to its high cost, to do high-end products, selling high-end prices, they can only harvest a very low profit margins. Sony restructuring and there is nothing wrong Sony is doing the transformation on the product level, from simple consumer electronics manufacturers, the entertainment, media and network providers change. Many critical of this country, that Sony's departure from their main business and core competencies. My point is: Sony's restructuring is the right direction, but not big enough steps, strategies not clear. In fact, Sony faces pressure to change, not just product level, or more precisely, Sony has come to the strategic adjustment of industrial policy or business critical point of the. Sony should be gradually freed themselves from the manufacturing sector, and gradually transition to the role of service providers; to separate from the R & D and manufacturing, to concentrate resources in core consumer electronics components and the upstream business, while the downstream assembly operations to low- costs by district.

Are fats good for you or bad for you?

A fat is nothing but a type of a chemical compund called a Lipid. Lipids are broadly defined as any fat-soluble (lipophilic), naturally-occurring molecule, such as fats, oils, waxes, cholesterol, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E and K), monoglycerides, diglycerides, phospholipids, and others.

The hydrophobic behavior of lipids is based on their molecular structure.The main biological functions of lipids include energy storage, acting as structural components of cell membranes, and participating as important signaling molecules. 
 
What are fats? Fats are a group of compounds that are soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in water. Compounds made of glycerol and fatty acids are called fats. Fats may be either solid or liquid at room temperature, depending on what they are made of, and how they are architected. 
The molecule H2O (water) has a unique shape; the two hydrogen atoms forming a "V" shape, rather than a straight line. The electrons spend more time orbiting the oxygen nucleus than orbiting the two hydrogen nuclei, leaving the oxygen more negatively charged and the hydrogen more positively charged. Therefore, the entire molecule is "Polar"; that is with one end slightly positive and one end slightly negative. 
 
Fats are hydrophobic or insoluble in water because the non-polar, covalent bonds linking carbon and hydrogen in the lipid structure aren't attracted to the polar bonds of water. 
 
We've all heard the terms 'unsaturated fat' and saturated fat'. What is the difference between a saturated fat than an unsaturated fat? Essentially, there are two broad categories of fat: saturated fat and unsaturated fat. These two types of fat differ in their chemical structure. Saturated fatty acids (the building blocks of saturated fat) have no double bonds (a particular kind of chemical link between adjoining molecules) and this lack of double bonds means that there are no gaps in the fatty acid chain: it is packed with CH2 molecules. Unsaturated fatty acids (the building blocks of unsaturated fat), on the other hand, have double bonds and these double bonds break up the string of CH2´s and create gaps within the fatty acid chain. We will explore how this difference in chemical structure affects how different types of fat interact with the body below. 
 
Saturated fats (meats, butter, dairy products) are solid at room temperature, whereas unsaturated fats (vegetable oils) are liquid at room temperature. Due to their difference in chemical structure, saturated fats and unsaturated fats exert different effects within the body. Because saturated fatty acid chains have no gaps, they are able to pack together very tightly. When these tightly packed saturated fatty acids enter the bloodstream, they increase levels of "bad" cholesterol known as low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and clog arteries. In comparison, unsaturated fats do not increase "bad" cholesterol and, in fact, are able to increase levels of "good" cholesterol known as high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. HDL is able to grab LDL and escort it to the liver where it is broken down and eventually removed from the body. Thus, by increasing levels of HDL, unsaturated fats are able to protect against the damage done by saturated fats. 
 
But what is Hydrogenation? Does it help or hurt? 
Hydrogenation is the chemical reaction that results in addition of hydrogen (H2). The process is usually employed to reduce or saturate organic compounds. The process typically constitutes the addition of pairs of hydrogen atoms to a molecule. Catalysts are required for the reaction to be usable; non-catalytic hydrogenation takes place only at very high temperatures. Hydrogen adds to double and triple bonds in hydrocarbons 
Hydrogenation is a high tech process. Vegetable seeds are cleaned and bleached to remove all color, taste, smells and impurities. The liquid vegetable oil is then heated to high temperatures and a catalyst (commonly nickel, but could be palladium, platinum or rhodium) is added. Hydrogen is bubbled through the liquid. The mixture is then filtered to remove the metal, leaving hydrogenated vegetable oil. Water, whey, salt, vitamins, colorings, flavorings and emulsifiers may then be added to produce hydrogenated margarine. 
The advantage of all this is that it gives a uniform product that is solid at room temperature and has a long shelf life. This last characteristic is very important both for manufacturers and consumers. It gives manufacturers increased flexibility, and it means that consumers can buy products and not have to worry so much about 'best before' dates. 
 
There is a potential problem with hydrogenation. The hydrogenation process changes the nature of some of the fats into a form that is not easily recognized by the body (trans fatty acids). We do not know the long term effect of our constant exposure to these fats, although evidence is beginning to appear linking them to many degenerative diseases. 
 
Here's a disease caused by fatty deposits...Atherosclerosis is a hardening of the arteries, caused by deposits of fat along the inner walls of arteries. 
Fatty deposits cause the immune system to induce local inflammation. This then leads to narrowing and eventually, blockage, of the impacted artery. This blockage interrupts the regular flow of blood, which, depending on which artery is impacted, can lead to serious medical problems like heart attacks or strokes. 
 
But what about the benefits of fats? This category of molecules is important for many forms of life, serving both structural and metabolic functions. Fats play a vital role in maintaining healthy skin and hair They insulate body organs against shock, maintaining body temperature, They promote healthy cell function. They also serve as energy stores for the body. Fats are broken down in the body to release glycerol and free fatty acids. The glycerol can be converted to glucose by the liver and thus used as a source of energy. Fat also serves as a useful buffer towards a host of diseases. When a particular substance, whether chemical or biotic—reaches unsafe levels in the bloodstream, the body can effectively dilute—or at least maintain equilibrium of—the offending substances by storing it in new fat tissue. This helps to protect vital organs, until such time as the offending substances can be metabolized and/or removed from the body. 
 
In conclusion, fats have an importantant role to play in the maintenance of a healthy life.

Don't Miss The La Cage aux Folles Broadway Revival

La Cage aux Folles Broadway musical comedic splash is a great new addition for all fans of theater. The production is planted on The Great White Way for the third time and enjoying huge success at the box office as well as with critics. Coming as a direct import from the Menier Chocolate Factory in London where it has enjoyed huge success the Broadway production brings a mostly new cast including lead actors Kelsey Grammer and Douglas Hodge to the stage of the intimate Longacre Theatre. The past two Broadway productions of "La Cage" where not met with great critical acclaim and a few respected critics took their shots at the previous productions. The original Broadway musical debuted back in 1983 where it won 6 Tony Awards including best musical, however, some critics saw the show as dated using harsh words such as old-fashioned. It seems hard to see a breakout musical which includes its fair share of dancing drag queens as old-fashioned for the 1980's time period but none the less critics seemed to be less than impressed. The revival of La Cage aux Folles Broadway enjoyed less success than the original. The revival came to New York City once again closing in on six years ago where it won 2 Tony Awards and was only able to last for a six month run. Again, critics were not blown away by the musical and the reviews once again less then stellar. So the question many must be asking is "Why is the latest production having such great success?". The answer is rather simple, the latest musical installment of "La Cage" has been overhauled and revamped by the Menier Chocolate Factory, includes a well liked television star in Kelsey Grammer and has great songs by Jerry Herman, which include the popular and memorable "I Am What I Am" which was made even more popular with its cover by Gloria Gaynor. On top of this the latest revival to Broadway has won 3 Tony Awards for 2010 including Best Revival of a Musical and Best Actor in a Musical (Douglas Hodge). The successful runs at London's Menier Chocolate Factory and in the West End led to 7 Olivier Awards in 2009 and taking home Best Musical Revival and Best Actor in a Musical. La Cage aux Folles Broadway is a thriving, fresh and fun revival, which has been breaking records at the box office each week for the Longacre Theatre. The chemistry between the two actors is nothing less than brilliant and brings some great comedic moments throughout the show. The songs of Jerry Herman are fun and entertaining most memorably "We Are What We Are," and "The Best of Times" which showcase Lynne Page's wonderful choreography and has the dancers moving effortlessly across the stage. Set a date, grab some tickets and grab a seat at the Longacre for what is sure to be one of the most exciting shows you will see on Broadway this year.
