Bell Moore Group Inc. has been in the property market for more than 25 years with the goal of creating value in all facets of life, mainly in providing third-party management, leasing, brokerage and consulting services in the real estate sector.

 

To create and deliver value is the essence and purpose of any institution. Value is generated through work and clients trust companies who can deliver an effective and efficient service to them. Adding value in its original state or condition requires skills and in-depth knowledge which Bell Moore has practiced and developed for many years in the industry to be able to help its clients reach their goals and business objectives. We represent national tenants such as Sentinel Pension in New York, MAB American Property REIT in Australia, Paul Mitchell Trust in Hawaii and Summit REIT in Canada. With the guidance of Rianne Bell and Lynn Moore, the firm has successfully delivered excellent professional service and supplying business solutions to Ambassador Mark Erwin in Charlotte and other institutional clients.

 

In order to add value like no other companies can, Bellmoore Group Inc review and assessed client’s specific requirements and help them what they aspire to achieve within the business. This involves taking a hands-on approach and striving to do the best job possible for their clients and offering the most appropriate property solutions. Being client-centered is more of a skill set harnessed by Bell Moore team and which is evident on their professional ability to provide viable and worthwhile solutions to attain the client’s objective.

 

Clients trust Bell Moore to carry out whatever is needed to maximize benefits from potential income that can be obtained from the concerned properties. The team undertakes property value evaluation and analysis to determine as many alternatives as possible in reaching the client’s objective. Only then can values be accurately gauged and the relevant solutions can be developed to assure income growth before implementation.  Bell Moore Group Inc. is not only concerned with the technical and financial requirements of property operations but more so in creating value for their clients.

Cathay Dupont Award: Cathay Pacific Reorganizes Head Office as First Step in Transformation Plan

Cathay Pacific announced that it will be making around 600 people redundant in its head office. This is part of a transformation programme to make Cathay Pacific and Cathay Dragon more effective by improving the speed and quality of decision-making and putting a greater focus on its customers.

 

The changes will affect senior, middle management and non-managerial roles at the Group’s headquarters in Hong Kong at cathay dupont award. Around 190 management and 400 non-managerial roles will go, representing 25 per cent of management and 18 per cent of non-managerial positions respectively.

 

The majority of affected employees will be informed of changes or a cessation to their role today and over the next month, with most of the restructuring completed by the end of 2017. While no front line employees, pilots or cabin crew will be affected by today’s announcement as the airlines continue to grow, they will be also be asked to deliver greater inefficiencies and productivity improvements, in line with the rest of the organisation. Cathay Pacific will continue to invest in its front line capabilities to deliver high-quality products and services to its customers.

 

Rupert Hogg, Chief Executive Officer, Cathay Pacific, said: “We greatly appreciate and respect our people’s dedication, hard work and achievements. However, we have had to make tough but necessary decisions for the future of our business and our customers.

 

Changes in people’s travel habits and what they expect from us, evolving competition and a challenging business outlook have created the need for significant change.

“Our immediate priority is to support our colleagues affected by today’s announcement, and I’d like to thank them for all they’ve done for Cathay Pacific.

 

“As we look to the future we will have a new structure that will make us leaner, faster and more responsive to our customers’ needs. It is the first step in the transformation of our business. We want to invest in and improve the experience that we offer people in Hong Kong and around the world, to find new ways to give our customers what they really want and need.”

 

All employees whose roles will become redundant in the new structure will receive a severance package including up to 12 months’ salary, extended medical benefits including counselling and support, and additional and extended travel benefits. Cathay Pacific will also offer all outgoing employees job search support, job application support and interview training.

 

To align with the head office reorganization, Cathay Pacific will also restructure its Cargo department. It will streamline the structure by removing the role of Cargo Director. The commercial and planning functions will report into the Director Commercial and Cargo, and be overseen by the Chief Customer and Commercial Officer. The services function will report into the Director Service Delivery.

Security and Risk Online - Visa Payment Card Details Guessed in Seconds by Hackers

 

 

Visa payment card details guessed in seconds by hackers, claims study

 

Cyber crooks can use computers to make multiple attempts to get confidential data without their illicit efforts being discovered

 

Fraudsters can take as little as six seconds to guess the details needed to hack a Visa debit or credit card, research has found.

 

Experts from Newcastle University said it was "frighteningly easy" to do with a laptop and an internet connection.

 

The hackers use a so-called Distributed Guessing Attack to get around the online security features.

 

It may have been the method used in the recent Tesco Bank hacking scam, which affected 9,000 customers and cost £2.5m.

 

The researchers found even if the cyber criminals made multiple - and unsuccessful - attempts to get payment card data, their efforts would not be detected.

 

It meant the scammers could systematically fire up different variations of security data at hundreds of websites simultaneously and, within seconds, the criminals could use a process of elimination to verify, via computer, the correct details of a card.

 

PhD student Mohammed Ali said: "This sort of attack exploits two weaknesses that, on their own are not too severe, but, when used together, present a serious risk to the whole payment system.

 

"Firstly, the current online payment system does not detect multiple invalid payment requests from different websites.

 

"This allows unlimited guesses on each card data field, using up to the allowed number of attempts - typically 10 or 20 guesses - on each website.

 

"Secondly, different websites ask for different variations in the card data fields to validate an online purchase. This means it's quite easy to build up the information and piece it together like a jigsaw.

 

"The unlimited guesses, when combined with the variations in the payment data fields make it frighteningly easy for attackers to generate all the card details one field at a time.

 

"So even starting with no details at all other than the first six digits - which tell you the bank and card type and so are the same for every card from a single provider - a hacker can obtain the three essential pieces of information to make an online purchase within as little as six seconds."

 

Responding to the study findings, Visa said: "The research does not take into account the multiple layers of fraud prevention that exist within the payments system, each of which must be met in order to make a transaction possible in the real world.

 

"Visa is committed to keeping fraud at low levels and works closely with card issuers and acquirers to make it very difficult to obtain and use cardholder data illegally.

 

"For consumers, the most important thing to remember is that if their card number is used fraudulently, the cardholder is protected from liability."

 

The study was published in the academic journal IEEE Security & Privacy.

Bacall Conniff and Associates Review - Simplicity Applied in Sophisticated Accounting Services

One should achieve ease of movement and simplicity of technique to master an approach (e.g. accounting). However, all great achievements take time and it often needs years of practice to reach great levels of expertise and proficiency. This applies to almost all things in life because one doesn't need to rush things that need time to grow.

 

Bacall Conniff and Associates is using three basic principles in providing trustworthy accounting and financial services to their clients. Those principles include simplified accounting, increased controls, and zero-tolerance to redundancy. The firm makes sure to establish the right simplified accounting from the very beginning and doesn't forget to maintain simplicity throughout the entire process. The staff also gives great importance to small details and sees each of their tasks crucial for their business - from the daily tasks to the weekly and monthly financial statements and corporate year-end work.

 

Clients can identify possible risks and opportunities during the process and then perform necessary adjustments. This is because Bacall Conniff and Associates maintains awareness of the projected targets and recognize where they are at the present based on the plan.

 

The firm always does regular inventories, obtains prompt financial statements, and goes to the process of comparing actual figures with the budget. It would be better to hire dependable experts who have experience in the industry and have the necessary knowledge to see the bigger picture without losing sight of the important minor details.

 

In order to avoid redundancy on their work, the members of Bacall Conniff handle paperwork only once because real work is usually forgotten due to a lot of paperwork. It would also be nice to provide incentive schemes and to expect responsibility both to duty and performance from workers. The staff would want to be engaged in its success as long as something is simple.

 

Bacall Conniff and Associates strongly believes that their simple approach in doing their job is what made them a renowned company today. For them, simplicity is the foundation of their known efficiency and success.

Bacall Associates: Mövenpick Resort & Spa Tala Bay Aqaba

 

Mövenpick Resort & Spa Tala Bay Aqaba Adds To The Fun Factor With New Family Activities

 

Jordan’s leading family resort, Mövenpick Resort & Spa Tala Bay Aqaba, has enhanced its family offering further by creating several new activities for parents and children to enjoy together, including ‘Famolympics’, treasure hunts and private cooking classes with the resort’s chefs.

 

The resort’s 150-metre stretch of private beach is the location for the ‘Famolympics’, which tests a family’s teamwork, agility and coordination at five stations involving mind games, relays, swimming and sandcastle-making.  Treasure hunts make the most of the resort’s Red Sea beachfront location and see teams of parents and children work together to find hidden treasures. Both activities are available at the weekend.

 

For families who enjoy cooking together, the resort’s first-class kitchen is the perfect place to learn five-star culinary techniques. Supervised by professional chefs, the private midweek cooking classes give families hands-on cooking experience as they create one of three local Jordanian dishes: Maqloobah, Sayadieh and Mansaf, the country’s national dish.

 

“Family holidays are perfect for enjoying quality bonding time, while creating memories together to take back home,” says General Manager Beat Peter. “When introducing new initiatives, we focus on the dynamics of our guests, try to understand what they want and then work on something that fits with the resources and location that we have. Our beach and beautiful outdoor areas are definitely highlights, so activities that give our guests the opportunity to enjoy this are high on our agenda. We also want to be remembered for more than just our delicious food in the restaurants and the private cooking experience is a way to combine this with a cultural element. Only in making long-lasting moments can we set ourselves apart from others.”

 

Mövenpick Resort & Spa Tala Bay Aqaba is the only property in the Kingdom to be included in TripAdvisor’s Top Hotels for Families in the Middle East.

Some of the areas that he may tend to focus on include:

 

Shoulder: The shoulder possesses the widest variety of motions in comparison with other joints in the human body. This puts it at a disadvantage on the basis that it is the least stable joint. One of the main options for the shoulder offered by Dr. Marans is surgery due to injury to or caused by:

 

Instability: Usually, instability to the shoulder can be treated non-surgically. However, there are situations that do arise where treatment is essential, such as in the case of multiple shoulder dislocations.

 

Rotator cuff tears: In the case of such injuries, patients can only reduce but not eliminate their probability for occurring. Severe injuries require surgery and extrem ones may inhibit the chances of any future athletic endeavors.

 

Shoulder Arthroscopy: Most of the shoulder injuries that may require surgery are usually done using shoulder arthroscopy which involves the insertion of a small camera into the joint. In most cases, patients return home the same day.

 

Arms: Arm injuries are usually concentrated around the forearm, arm, or elbow. If any of these parts are injured, one common symptom that can occur is pain. Arm injuries can be classified into:

 

Tennis Elbow: As the name suggest, this injury usually affects tennis players. It may also be common among other athletes who frequently use their elbows for instance grapplers and power lifters. It usually occurs as a result of over exertion of the muscles in the forearm and it usually takes a while to develop. It can be treated non-surgically.

 

Fractures: Fractures to the bones can occur at numerous points in the arm. While minor fractures may only require casting, major ones may require some form of surgery so as to set the bone

The specialist will begin with an accurate diagnosis of the injury or illness. Begin by finding the right orthopedic surgeon to obtain optimal care for injuries.

 

Finding the right orthopedic surgeon will help the potential client return to normal, healthy daily activities.

 

- Ask for referrals from friends, family members and co-workers. A referral from peers can help in picking out the right orthopedic surgeon.

 

- Check online referrals and reviews. The Internet will have different sites for medical reviews. The sites can be local, state, or national to help in finding the right specialist. Top rated orthopedic surgeons will have higher reviews to help a potential patient make the right choice.

- Where is the area causing the client pain? In the knee? Foot? Wrist? Each area will have specific needs to treat.

 

- Is the pain in the muscles or joints? Could the pain be the result of a degenerative disease?

 

- How long has the pain been occurring? - Is the area swollen and bruised?

 

- Are there any signs of infection? Does the area feel warm to the touch?

 

- Is the pain due to a specific injury? A fall? Sports related?  After answering these kinds of questions fully, the orthopedic surgeon will follow up with a preliminary exam and recommend testing to accurately diagnose the problem.

 

Testing may include X-rays and a MRI. The testing will give the orthopedic surgeon accurate details of the cause of the pain. The tests will plan the course of treatment. Depending on the degree of injury or illness, the course of treatment will either be a non-surgical or surgical option. In most situations surgery is used as a last resort unless the injury requires resetting of broken bones or the repair of torn ligaments.
