Napoli coach Gennaro Gattuso declared that it is not club medics but rather the Italian Federation to decide when Victor Osimhen will return to action.
The Nigeria national teamer was unavailable for selection. As the Serie A side were knocked out of the Europa League in the round of 32 stage despite a 2-1 win against Granada at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Thursday evening.

A deadlocked Supreme Court decision that blocks President Barack Obama from granting amnesty to the parents of legal U.S. residents who are in the country illegally will deprive many of those people of the right to sign up for health insurance in California, analysts of the decision said Thursday.
Most immigrants who are in the country illegally already are barred from signing up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, the federal health care law widely known as Obamacare.
But many of those affected by Thursday’s decision would have qualified for the low-income Medi-Cal health program, which is open to those who’ve been granted temporary relief from deportation. Now, with Thursday’s Supreme Court action, that option is out.
Immigration advocates decried the court’s order, saying it would affect hundreds of thousands.
“We are heartbroken by the Supreme Court deadlocking on the president's immigration order,” said Anthony Wright of Health Access California, a health care consumer advocacy group. “The decision denies hundreds of thousands of California families deportation relief as well as access to health care.”
The decision came in a challenge to Obama’s 2014 immigration order known Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, referred to as DAPA. Under the plan, the president ordered the Department of Homeland Security to focus its attention on deporting criminals and people who repeatedly broke the law. The parents of individuals born in the United States who were in the country illegally were to remain unscathed.
The policy was intended to keep families together. But it was immediately challenged by Texas, which sought a court order from a federal district judge that prevented the plan from ever being implemented. The Texas district court’s order was upheld by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Twenty-five other states joined Texas in its challenge.
The Supreme Court offered no explanation for its decision, issuing a one-sentence statement: “The judgment is affirmed by an equally divided court.”
The Supreme Court decision also will prevent the expansion of another program that prevents children brought to the United States illegally from being deported.
More than 4 million people living in the United States illegally are affected by the decision, though the government does not plan to step up deportations.
President Barack Obama, in an appearance before reporters, stressed that, “This does not substantially change the status quo.”
The Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents would have allowed parents of children born in the United States or who are legal residents to stay in the country with three-year renewable work permits if they had been in the United States since January 2010.
An earlier program, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, applies to children brought to the United States illegally and is not affected by the court case except that it shut down an extension of work permits from two years to three years.
In immigrant-heavy states such as California, Florida and Texas, politicians were quick to respond to the ruling.
Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, who led the fight against the order when he was that state’s attorney general, called Obama’s 2014 order “an unauthorized abuse of presidential power that trampled the Constitution, and the Supreme Court rightly denied the president the ability to grant amnesty contrary to immigration laws.”
Similar accusations of presidential “lawlessness” also came from Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn, a former Texas Supreme Court justice, and Sen. Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican and former presidential candidate.
Politicians from California and Florida offered more nuanced reaction. California Reps. David Valadao and Jeff Denham joined Florida Reps. Mario Diaz-Balart and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen in a joint statement that recognized the Supreme Court’s decision, but said it could not be the last word on the issue.
“We are committed to fixing our broken immigration system once and for all,” the statement said.
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco called the Supreme Court action “a disappointing setback for hardworking, law-abiding immigrant families across America.” She pledged to work to end “the terrible fear of separation that hangs over immigrant families.”
Sen. Dianne Feinstein used the decision as another argument for the confirmation of Obama’s nomination of Chief Appeals Court Judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court.
“This decision makes clear the severe consequences of a deadlocked Supreme Court,” Feinstein said. “The refusal of Senate Republicans to fulfill their constitutional advise-and-consent rule is unprecedented. With only eight justices, the Supreme Court will continue to tie on important cases, leaving legal questions unanswered and perpetuating uncertainty in federal law.”
Underscoring the significance of the ruling, a “disappointed” Obama himself went to the White House briefing room to repudiate it, saying that the court could not decide because it was not at its full strength of nine justices. He blamed the Senate for failing to consider Garland’s nomination.
“For more than two decades now, our immigration system, everybody acknowledges, has been broken,” Obama said. “And the fact that the Supreme Court wasn’t able to issue a decision today doesn’t just set the system back even further, it takes us further from the country that we aspire to be.”
California Labor Federation Executive Secretary-Treasurer Art Pulaski also expressed disappointment at a decision that he says “leaves millions of hardworking California immigrant families at risk” of losing their children or being exploited by their employers. Pulaski vowed that the California Labor Federation would not “stand on the sidelines captive to Washington gridlock.”
“The California labor movement will continue to champion state laws that protect immigrant workers from exploitation on and off the job,” he said.
Some officials were quick to bask in the Supreme Court’s decision.
“Today’s decision is a victory for the Constitution and rule of law as it was designed to be,” Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Vista, said in a statement. “In our democracy, the president doesn’t get to legislate by executive decree whenever the people’s representatives don’t give him what he wants. He has to follow the Constitution, which says laws come from the American people through the legislative branch, not the president. The decision today protects the American people from executive power run amok.”
But Los Angeles Democratic Congressman Tony Cárdenas, the son of immigrants, suggested that it is Congress that has run amok.
“I would like to see the United States Senate exercise its responsibility of having an up or down vote on the next Supreme Court justice,” he said. “In addition to that, what I’d like to see happen is I’d like to see the United States Congress and the U.S. Senate go ahead and deliberate and have deliberations and committee hearings and then a vote on comprehensive immigration reform.”

I read an article by Mari A. Schaefer titled “Is drinking wine one secret to a happy marriage?”. This article was based on a recent report in The Journals of Gerontology. The gist of the story is that couples that drink wine together are happier. Duh. Who isn’t happier with wine? Let me see if I can break this story down more.
The study looked at 2,767 heterosexual couples who both drank wine. I’m not sure if the results would be different in a LGBT relationship and since all my personal experience is in heterosexual marriages, yes plural, I’ll stick to analyzing those covered in the study.

P4 - P5: Internal, External and Competitive environment
External environments are influences and factors that affect how a company operates. These are often factors that an organisation cannot stop or control. The factors are often taken into consideration and used to determine what they need to do to maintain their success and what needs to be done to analyse whether they've been successful or unsuccessful. These factors are organised and are called ‘PESTLE' which stands for:
P – Political
E - Economic
S - Social
T - Technological
L - Legal
E – Environmental
In contrast with external environment factors, internal factors are elements within the business itself, meaning that the company itself has control over these factors. This is because the company leaders and its board of executives determine what happens in the company, from trading-related decisions to who they should employ. For a profitable company, for example, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) often makes all major decisions that guides and rules the company to be able to follow their main aim, which is to make a much profit as possible.
1.) Tesco PLC's External Factors:
Political activities can have a massive role in regulating and controlling a business, because they cannot control what happens and how it's going to affect a certain business, in most cases. This is often done through sets of rules, laws and legislation made and provided by forms of leadership or trading groups such as the UK government, or the body in charge of the country the supermarket is located in, the European Union (EU) and other organisations The World Trade Organisation (WTO).
The World Trade Organisation will need to make sure that the food and products being imported to different countries are safe and the way it is traded and negotiated is fair. As a result, Tesco is then required to follow these rules and guidelines put in place by an external organisation, or else they could be fined or be on the brink of being closed down as a consequence. In addition, a change in government may affect Tesco PLC as new sets of laws and regulations may be put in place in replacement of the old, such as whether the minimum wage would be raised or lowered. And as I've mentioned before, if a company like Tesco does not abide by these laws put in place, they are risking themselves from being fined or shut down.
There are a few things that politics may affect within businesses. One of which is the Fiscal Policy. Fiscal Policy is put in place and introduced various methods by which an administration alters and takes into consideration its spending levels and tax rates to monitor and influence a country's economy. As a result of the government's changes and influences of the Fiscal Policy, it can affect certain aspects of businesses such as Tesco PLC.
One way it can affect Tesco specifically are Taxation Rises. Raising a company's tax means that the company would not earn the maximum profit as it would before the government introduced the raise. This means that a portion of the amount of money they produce are required to be given to the government in the form of taxes. Massive retailers such as Tesco would face a tremendous amount of money because of extra costs from increasing business rates around the country. As a result, there will be a tendency this increase in business taxes would put a heavy risk of Tesco's employment in terms of their staff in tradition retail. This means that there would be a decrease in revenue for businesses such as Tesco PLC.
Interests for an item in the markets, the cost of the item and its profits of an association relies upon the monetary elements like interest, inflation rates and local unemployment levels. Companies can't have control on these monetary variables. However, it can demonstrate antagonistic impacts on the organisation's performance. Tesco is still totally relying upon the UK market despite the fact that it has stores in various nations, which mean if the UK market crashed, collapsed or influenced by any financial factors, Tesco be placed in a tremendous measure of dangers.
Tesco PLC has also profited by the advancement of free exchanging coalitions (trading groups) by governments over the years. Moreover, the inundation of 10 further nations into the European Union (EU) occurred in 2004, advancing more opportunities in trade and exchange amongst Western and Eastern European nations. This has given Tesco plc the opportunity to increase its growth in retail stores all over European Nations and start new partnerships and agreements with them.
The customer's state of mind towards food and products are constantly changing and fluctuates, as they have turned out to be more cautious about health and what they eat. An increase in the interest for organic food has been taken into consideration by Tesco to mirror this adjustment. Instalment (payments) by checks and money at the checkout was first made possible by Tesco.
An investigation of the UK population demonstrates that there are more resigned individuals than youngsters nowadays. The maturing population brings about various disadvantages to Tesco as older individuals have a tendency to eat less. They are less likely to go to supermarkets and stores to shop, in comparison to the more youthful era, along with the economically active. Despite the fact that internet literacy level has dropped beyond 65 years old inside the population, it has been highly anticipated that the maturing population would discover web-based shopping (online shopping) to be reliable and can be done with ease; more convenient. Be that as it may, small individual orders and deliveries are thought to be costly, unreliable and an unsustainable way of buying products.
Advances in technology can have a massive effect on the business, both good and bad. Throughout the past decades, technology has been improving and has been extremely beneficial to starting businesses. For example, during the 1980's, the electronic typewriter has been extremely common, used as a way to manage financial problems and solutions and noting down important information. Also, the invention of modern computers massively benefitted the workplace in businesses because it relieves the stress of managing and organising information, easier than tradition handwritten works. However, current workers are not used to using these new technologies so it took them a fair amount of time to get used to using them; it also took several employees to train them.
Furthermore, as approached the 21st century (The Information Age), the use of internet and Wifi has become a necessity in our daily lives, more so for businesses in order to operate and function. Without it, different businesses from across the world would not be able to communicate properly and discuss things such as negotiation deals and potential partnership deals.
Additionally, Mechanisation has played a huge part in the advancement and success of a business, but it also brings negative impacts with it. Firstly, Mechanisation (or automation) is when existing methods or equipment are replaced by highly technical machines and advanced technology. This can be a great factor for certain businesses, most specifically big businesses that manufacture products and goods because advanced machinery can create and manufacture a massive number of products in less time (mass production) compared to traditional ways of making products using human hands or manual labour. Therefore, companies such as Tesco can now create and manufacture a lot of products more efficiently, reliable and can be done at less money spending.
Moreover, technological advances have massively improved customer satisfaction and have maintained its good reputation to the public. Technologies used in most Tesco stores nowadays include electronic shelf labeling, shopping points system (Tesco Club Card), which rewards regular customers points for shopping every time and can then be used later in store in the future if they have collected enough points. And most importantly, the introduction of Self-Checkout machines. This has definitely changed how the public shops in Tesco stores because they can now pay for the products they've bought easily and quickly through these machines, especially for people on-the-go. The advances in technology that I've mentioned has immensely helped in improving the stocking and distribution processes in Tesco stores and stock warehouses.
The government policies and guidelines that were set in place over the course of a few years have had a direct control over the performance and high rates of success of Tesco PLC.
For example, the Food Retailing Commission (FRC) recommended an enforceable Code of Practice should be required to be set up forbidding a considerable amount of present practices. For example, demanding payments forcefully from providers and changing agreed on costs with consideration or without notice.
The sight of very authoritative rivals with established brands, provides a huge threat on conflicts regarding price wars and strong requirements based on product differentiation.
The government's approaches for restraining infrastructure controls and lessening of purchasers' power can confine entry to this particular sector with so many controls as license requirements and limited access to raw materials.
In order to implement politically correct pricing policies, Tesco offers consumers a price reduction on fuel purchases based on the amount spent on groceries at its stores through the Tesco Club Card. While prices are lowered on promoted goods, prices elsewhere in the store are raised into to meet demands in profit and make sure it's balanced, so they are not losing revenue by reducing a small number of items;
A large portion of organisations attempts to change item costs frequently, keeping in mind that their end goal is to draw in clients and customers towards them and to hold its good position in the market.
Environmentally friendly, pollution reducing packaging is now being promoted and introduced by the government to all major retailers. This is because an investigation led by the Office for National Statistics (2010) that the percentage of consumers utilising reusable bags has increased from 71% to 74% and that those attempting to cut down the quantity of plastic bags they take from the shops has also increased from 65% to 68%. This helps with decreasing the general cost of the production of plastic bags and is useful for Tesco's corporate social responsibility image.
Because of the consumer's awareness with the carbon footprint of the firm, Tesco has included carbon footprint information on dairy items, potatoes, and squeezed oranges, and goes for extending it to baked goods such as bread and non-food items in 2010, in order to stay true and honest to their loyal customers.
Tesco has also established its Greener Living Scheme in order to provide purchasers with advice on issues concerning the environment, including how to reduce and diminish food waste and their carbon footprint while getting ready meals to be more aware and have a higher tendency to create change.
2.) Tesco PLC's Internal Factors:
Because Tesco is a profitable organisation, its main aim and goal are to make money or profit through the products that they sell. They particularly make a lot of money because it is the largest supermarket chain and retailer in the UK. And it is on the road of being a success internationally. When Tesco was first established in 1919, it has since been famous for providing food and drinks, be that as it may, now it also has deals including fashion and clothing, gadgets and electronics, monetary services, telecoms, home, health and well-being, automobile and dental insurance, retailing and renting DVD's and CD's, music downloads, internet services and programming.
The most critical technique that has been embraced by the organisation of Tesco is the personalization of items and services, taking into consideration the market's specific requirements. This means that Tesco has made a majority of its products unique to their trademark brand. This means that their customers and the public can identify with Tesco's brand even more. The effectiveness in the execution done by the company in the most recent decade can be summed up by the assistance of a development in the company's ever-growing interest to be a better company that suits the needs of the people.
Due to Tesco's massive business size, Tesco has the power to buy food, toiletries and household goods in bulks and bundles, meaning that they get can buy products in extremely low prices compared to other smaller retail businesses. In addition, Tesco has earned its way to become one of the most successful retailer in the world (ranked 5th). Therefore, having the advantage of being a massive organisation is that the company can negotiate with big product firms (where they get their products from) easily negotiate product prices and exchange for lower prices. Consequently, this means that
During the 2009 recession, Tesco PLC has not been performing well as expected compared to its major retail competitors. This because a fair number of products were lost which has resulted in a minor financial loss, as well as damaging their good brand reputation towards their customers and also the public.
Although Tesco offers great quality products at affordable prices, it has a massive competition with low price offering companies such as Lidl and Aldi, which offers lower prices in comparison to Tesco's price ranges. This had had a significant effect on Tesco's revenue and profit because they have been making the same amount of money compared what it was like for Tesco before the rise of their competitors.
Tesco has had a few obstacles and challenges that they have faced in the previous three years, for that reason, it has massively affected the company's performance and execution. A few cases have heavily affected the organisation's brand picture; for example, the organisation has been blamed for offering horse meat in their burgers rather than beef meat. In fact, about 30% of the meat in their burgers was observed to be horse meat in January 2013. Furthermore, it was found that approximately 60% of the meat in their spaghetti Bolognese was made out of horse meat as opposed to beef meat. The incredible revelation has essentially raised outrage among people in general and has wounded the organisation's image and reputation.
As a huge company continuously expanding around the world, they would have the ability to extend out to many other developing countries and potentially start new markets and deals with them; can focus on global expansion and will strengthen its position the global stock markets. For example, they could extend out to countries in Asia, the Middle East and Africa, and possibly Latin America, not only in terms of introducing new stores and supermarkets but to also make new trade deals in terms of importing raw products for Tesco to manufacture.
Moreover, the growth of convenience store market in the UK is increasing because more people would find stores closer to where they live a lot more convenient and easier to buy items. The UK convenience market is set to be worth £49 billion by 2019 which is a great advantage for Tesco because they can build more smaller stores around the UK, and follow what the public and to be to adapt to situations that will suit their customer's needs.
As I have mentioned before, the main threat that Tesco faces today is their uprising competitive rivals. Tesco's sales and profits are now under pressure from famous discounter stores such as Aldi and Lidl. Although Tesco has been the leading retailer of this specific sector for over 15 years, it is now facing upcoming rivalry, not only with big discounters but also includes the ‘Big Four'. For example, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons.
Moreover, Tesco PLC also has to be very careful in terms of where they should place their stores. This is very important because they need to be able to cope and compete with other businesses that will potentially be a threat to them. Because if Tesco's administration places a store that is fairly close to an independent convenience store that sells the exact same products at a lower price, people are most likely to go and get their items to the independent store because they sell them cheaper. Therefore, Tesco has to be extremely strategic in regards to where they should locate their stores, otherwise, Tesco will lose some profit.
“M3: Assess the effects of the given business environment on a given business”
Businesses as big as Tesco can be affected by many factors when it comes to its business environment. For example, a business could be heavily influenced by the economic stability of the business because it would have a significantly higher risk of a store being closed down if there was a recession. Therefore, this is influenced by the economic environment.

This can come in the form of “PESTLE”, which I will outline in this essay.
Over recent decades, China has become an economic powerhouse in the global markets and has been a highly profitable one that is worth up to 1.3 billion. And China recently opened its doors to western companies to encourage and potentially start and extend their business on a country that is relatively stable when it comes to economic stability. Because China has been more open to new western companies, China has reliably made an agreement (a signed agreement) with Tesco back in 2009 to establish a series of joint ventures from the development of shopping centres in areas such as Anshan and Fushun.
By Tesco extending their global reach and influence and Tesco's rise in international business, it massively increases the company's revenue and profit that is worth one quarter for Tesco's earnings.
In addition, 10 European countries joined the EU back in 2004 that includes Poland, Lithuania, Cyprus, etc. The immersion of these European countries gave Tesco a huge advantage because this means that big organisations such as Tesco can further extend and encourage more trade between countries in the West with Eastern European countries.
In 2008, the United Kingdom officially declared that the country was facing an economic-crushing recession. Therefore, the UK government has been surprisingly success in cutting down interest rates for its citizens in order to cope with the effects of the recession. For a company like Tesco, it is crucial that they keep in mind economic influences on their business, all because they will have lasting impacts on their purchasing behavior of its customers. By lowering interest rates, this enabled the UK government to drastically lower the unemployment in 2009, following the recession.
An analysis of the entire UK population shows that there are more retired people than there are children, which brought the representation of the Baby Boom Generation (Herald Scotland, 2010). The ageing population is discouraging for food retailers, due to the fact that elderly tend to eat less in comparison, to the economically dependent to children. Furthermore, the ageing population are also less capable of travelling to stores and supermarkets to shop compared to the younger generation who can.
The upbringing of new technology can hugely benefit both Tesco's customers and the company itself. This includes the improvements on customer satisfaction because products and goods can easily be accessed and services can be done that gives better experience, personalise it and create a greater shopping experience. The establishment of the Efficient Consumer Response (ECR) initiative provided the shift that is now apparent in the management of food supply chains. Tesco stores now adapt to the following innovative technologies:
Electronic Shelf-Labelling System
Radio Frequency Identification (RIFD)
Technological advancements in Tesco have completely had a big, positive impact on its day-to-day function. One of the most significant changes in the use of technology is the introduction of Tesco's online shopping that facilitates door to door home delivery. This makes shopping easier for people who does not necessarily have great access to physical Tesco stores. Additionally, the introduction of Self-CheckOut machines made shopping in stores done with ease and a lot more comfortable for customers because they can scan their own items and pay the same time which also decreases the need for employees and labour costs.
In conclusion, the factor that probably has had the biggest and most influential impact on the development of Tesco are technological factors, because it takes advantage of the ever-increasing popularity of the internet. They have developed online shopping to cater those who cannot access stores by offering home deliveries through their website.
Tesco PLC are a huge company that aims to make as much profit as possible. They
rely on customers buying their products so they can expand on their business and
make even more money. This is Tesco's biggest strength and they continue to grow.
The employees assist customers on the shop floor so they have a big impact on how
much money is made. This makes Tesco a strong company as they are able to
make around £4 billion every year. People want to come back and shop at Tesco
due to the outstanding customer services, the cheap and affordable prices of the
products and because it is local. There are many stores all around the UK because
of how popular Tesco is, some stores are open for 24 hours and there are many
local Tesco stores which is why customers go and shop there.
Over the past few years, Tesco has dropped in profits. This is due to the amount of
competition Tesco has and because of the recent change in chief executives. Tesco
started to lose market sales to competitors Lidl and Aldi. Since Terry Leahy left the
chief executive role, shares have dropped by 41%. This has had serious effects on
Tesco because they are not able to make the same amount of profit as they were
Due to Tesco PLC being a huge company, they are given the privilege to buy
products from suppliers for cheaper or even in bundles. This allows them to buy
more products for a lower price. Tesco also brings in new ideas such as Tesco
mobile which attracts many people who buy their products and may influence them
to become involved and be a part of Tesco mobile. This makes Tesco's profits rise
higher and the expansion of the business become a success.
Since Tesco was first introduced, they have experienced many threats towards their
business which may have affected the way they work and the way they go about
their business. Currency fluctuations have had an impact on the amount of money
Tesco make and spend. If the currency is strong, they would have purchased goods
for much cheaper and would lead to increased profits. However, when the currency
becomes weaker, it means that products and items become more expensive to buy.
This would reduce the total amount of profit the company could have made due to
the currency. A good example of this would be when the UK left the EU. The pound
currency went down which affected not only Tesco, but all companies that buy
products from abroad.
3.) Competitive Environment of Tesco PLC:
In order for Tesco to maintain its success in the market, they have to be very careful on how they should approach things. Ever decision that they make has to be well thought out and concise because they are continuously in competition with other big retailers in the UK. They are both fighting for prices and their products, and also the public's admiration and support. In order to analyse Tesco's competitiveness, I will be using the ‘The Porter's 5 Forces' analysis technique.
The Power of Suppliers
It should be noticed that the providers are inclined towards significant food and basic grocery retailers and are having a fear of losing their business contracts with vast general stores. As a result, the position of big retailers such as Tesco, Asda, and Sainsbury's is then further reinforced and made stronger and stable, and negotiations are sure to get the most reduced costs from its provider in the future. This means that the power of providers is genuinely low.
Effective retailers with a lot of power, for example, Tesco or WalMart can frequently collect and gather additional charges from their providers in exchange for Tesco to promote their products and items in their stores. Moreover, big companies such as Tesco can easily negotiate with their suppliers because they can buy their products in bundles with would cost relatively lower; saves a lot of money for Tesco. This can result in a long process between Tesco and its suppliers in terms of the payment methods. All these will be useful to the benefit of capable retailers.
Threats of New Market Entrants
As I've mentioned before, Tesco PLC has been the leader in the retail sector for nearly more than 15 years and now, that position that Tesco holds at the moment is under threat because of new businesses coming into the markets. However, Tesco has been in this sector since 1919 and has been continuously growing ever since. As a result, it would be extremely difficult for starting businesses to catch up in terms of their position in the UK market. But this doesn't mean that Tesco is stress-free because even though businesses aren't going to catch up, they are still in competition with them in regards to their products, and also customer services. So Tesco has to keep changing up their products and make different and unique in order to stay ahead with their strongest competitor. Despite having minor threats of new competitors, the level of threat for Tesco quite low because that certain business has to be nearly the same level, if not the same, for businesses to become a major threat.
Bargaining Power of Buyers
There are several factors that will influence the bargaining power of buyers. One of which is how dependent existing distribution channels are. Also, consumers are constantly looking to accomplish higher rates of profitability, but at the same time, buyers would very much to try to spend minimal measure of money concerning high-quality services or items.
Threats of Substitute Products
In the food retail market, the substitutes of significant food and product retailers are small chains of convenience stores, off licenses and naturally picked (organic) shops which are not seen as a danger or a threat to huge general stores like Tesco that offer great quality items at considerably great value. Additionally, Tesco is further getting hold and reaching out to these shops by introducing Express stores in small neighbourhoods in towns and downtown areas making it very difficult for these substitutes to enter the market with ease.
Existing Competitive Rivalry between Suppliers
The power of the competitive rivalry in the business of food and basic retail needs is relatively high. Now, Tesco faces the extreme rivalry of their direct and immediate rivals, including Waitrose, Sainsbury's and Asda that are a serious contender between great item and product value, public services and improvements in their promotional methods or approaches.
The on-going competition among current competitors has been serious and extremely intense – the big retailers contend and fight in regards to item costs and pricing, as well as the need to guarantee their consumers loyalty for long-term gains and profits. Various procedures, methods, and systems had been put in place to draw clients away, far from each other. If by any chance that the rivalry keeps on intensifying, it would become be very difficult for Tesco to sustain its good but competitive position in the retail sector in the foreseeable future.
D2: Evaluation using situational analysis
The administration set out different laws that organizations need to take after and follow. One of these laws is compensation. At the point when the administration within the government increases the minimum wage permitted by law, more individual workers would need to fill in as higher wages are advertised and offered. This implies that the UK would have a lower unemployment rate. This means that more and more individuals would have to invest more energy in finding a new occupation or job and more individuals would get hired because of the higher wages that attracted them in the first place. The UK would have a higher business rate with fewer individuals living on benefits. This would mean imply that the UK government would have more cash since more money is being spent by people. Tesco would have more qualified specialists since workers would need to find a suitable job so they would have the time to continually improve and to learn new skills that would be of great use in the future of their careers. Tesco would profit by this since more specialists would carry out their activity appropriately.
Likewise, higher wages help the economy grow and develop. This is on account of more cash streams around the UK since individuals gain more cash, which implies that more cash would likely be spent. This is a favourable position for Tesco because more individuals will burn through cash on purchasing items they require. Tesco will get more cash from higher wages because of individuals spending a higher measure of the money they generate in Tesco stores, as disposable income.
Because of higher wages, Tesco can hire more individuals in a mixture various ethnicities and backgrounds. Individuals who originate from abroad also have a tendency to have better and more carefully enhanced qualities and skills. Migrants would need to move into the UK as the minimum wage permitted by law has been increased so they would get more cash. A portion of the cash that migrants receive would then go to the nation of origin, as remittances in order to provide their families back home with their necessities such as money for food and rent. Tesco would profit by this as more individuals would search for an occupation, which implies that Tesco would have the more extensive scope of representatives or workers to pick from.
Then again, Tesco would likewise not profit by this law of higher least wages since they would need to pay more cash towards compensation towards their workers. This implies Tesco would have less benefit than what it was like originally. This may mean that Tesco will be forced to fire many workers, keeping in mind the end goal to have more benefit and spare more cash. What's more, Tesco may request for more from their bosses which would not make their workers relatively happy.
2. Unemployment Rate
A financial factor that would influence Tesco is the unemployment rate. On the off chance that the unemployment rate is low, there will be a higher interest for items since more individuals are generating more cash which they can spend on more items. This implies Tesco would have an expansion in benefits because of a higher measure of individuals needing to purchase items. Tesco would need to continually balance the supply with the request to expand and maximise their profit. In any case, if the unemployment rate is high, more individuals are less able to work and not acquire cash. This implies that the demand will gradually decrease because of more individuals having less cash to spend so they would just purchase things they require and need, but not want. This influences Tesco's business in light of the fact that there is a lower request in items because of the relatively high unemployment rate.
3. Trends and Preferences
A social factor that would influence Tesco is patterns and preferences. Individuals compose audits on how great or awful an item is on the Tesco website, which enables them to build up their business from multiple points of view that would suit the clients. Tesco would take into account what local consumers favour and what their requests are with the goal that they can add it to their local Tesco stores. This would imply that more individuals would purchase from Tesco stores as it offers the things/items they need the most which would add profit to the business. Furthermore, Tesco can see the statistic patterns. This would imply that Tesco can determine what the new patterns are with a specific end goal to keep clients satisfied and happy. Most importantly, the statistic patterns will enable Tesco to deliver and master new creative thoughts with the goal that clients can appreciate them, yet in addition to benefiting the entire business.
A drawback to this, however, might be that the pattern might not be as big as expected. This would imply that Tesco would not generate profit as much profit by it as they would have liked to. The audits and reviews only represent a small number of the clients, so if a client composed a negative survey, they might be speaking what's on their minds and others may feel the same way in an unexpected way.
An example of an environmental factor that would impact Tesco is reusing and recycling. Tesco has numerous deliveries on a day-to-day basis in order to ensure items are easily ready and accessible in all their stores and on their online website.
At the point when all deliveries come in as they come in bundles and packs, these sacks are then recycled so that they can be reused again and not discarded and thrown away. In the event that bags are discarded, it would cause increased pollution as it is sent to landfills. Tesco reusing sacks and other assets gives them more respect and a better reputation in the business as they are doing whatever they can to ensure that the environment is being taken of and environmental impacts are being taken into consideration. This would likewise impact and encourage others to reuse.
In addition to recycling, Tesco now sells their shopping bags for 5p to urge individuals to not throw their plastic bags once bought in the bin as it would cost them cash to get another.By doing so, selling their plastic bags makes Tesco more money
as people tend to buy bags every time they shop which increases Tesco's total profit.
Another factor that would affect Tesco is Technology. For example, the self-checkout machine. Tesco introduced the self-checkout machines because it was a new innovation that would help them make more money as whilst also saving more money. This would have meant that Tesco's profits would increase due to the new technology being introduced. When Tesco first introduced the self-checkout machines, it made people want to use them as they would have been fascinated by the new way of shopping. This would have led to more money coming into the business increasing the total profit. Also, the self-checkout machines replaced many workers as employees were not needed at the tills. Tesco would have made more money as less money would have been spent on wages.
A disadvantage of self-checkout machines however is that it makes theft more likely to occur. This is because the self-checkout machine cannot detect how much of an item you have so people can type a lower quantity of a product when they actually have more. Also, this new innovation increases the unemployment rate which would affect the economy and how much money people have.

What a view!
Heidi Klum found herself some time to relax on Monday and decided to share it with her Twitter followers. The 39-year-old "Project Runway" host tweeted a sexy snapshot of herself stretched out on a ledge overlooking the ocean, wearing a tiny black bikini.
"Finally ... relaxation!" she wrote with the photo. Klum poses with her back arched and hands behind her head to show off her amazing beach bod.
The supermodel split from Seal in January after seven years of marriage. She is the mother of four children -- daughter Leni, 8, sons Henry, 6, Johan, 5, and daughter Lou, 2.
After giving birth to her youngest daughter in 2009, Klum told Us Weekly losing the baby weight was a challenge. "Everything changes when you get older. It was different when I was 31 with the first one. Now, being 36 with the fourth one [daughter Lou], it's different." she explained to Us. "For me, it always works to get back into it immediately. I think that if you wait too long, it kind of sticks on and it stays there forever. I have to be motivated."
Last week, Klum tweeted, "Make time to workout even you're traveling" and attached some helpful tips on how to do it.

A computer program such as KetoCalculator may be used to help generate recipes. The meals often have four components: heavy whipping cream, a protein-rich food (typically meat), a fruit or vegetable and a fat such as butter, vegetable oil, or mayonnaise. Only low-carbohydrate fruits and vegetables are allowed, which excludes bananas, potatoes, peas, and corn. Suitable fruits are divided into two groups based on the amount of carbohydrate they contain, and vegetables are similarly divided into two groups. Foods within each of these four groups may be freely substituted to allow for variation without needing to recalculate portion sizes. For example, cooked broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and green beans are all equivalent. Fresh, canned, or frozen foods are equivalent, but raw and cooked vegetables differ, and processed foods are an additional complication. Parents are required to be precise when measuring food quantities on an electronic scale accurate to 1 g. The child must eat the whole meal and cannot have extra portions; any snacks must be incorporated into the meal plan. A small amount of MCT oil may be used to help with constipation or to increase ketosis.
A body of research out of Pennsylvania State University finds that eating water-rich foods such as zucchini, tomatoes, and cucumbers during meals reduces your overall calorie consumption. Other water-rich foods include soups and salads. You won’t get the same benefits by just drinking your water, though (but you will get other benefits of staying hydrated). Because the body processes hunger and thirst through different mechanisms, it simply doesn’t register a sense of fullness with water (or soda, tea, coffee, or juice). Here are 15 weight loss tips doctors wish you would stop following.
His theory, known today as Occum’s Razor, basically says that the simplest path forward is usually the best. And while we’ll never know if William actually had ye olde abs, his view on philosophy is the same as our view on quick weight loss: If you just do the little things—take advantage of tiny overlooked tweaks to your daily routine—you could toss the rice cakes and running shoes once and for all. (Or at least not feel like you were a slave to them.) In fact, a swing of just 10 calories a day—about as many calories as you burn in 3 minutes of standing still—will make you a pound slimmer by this time next year.
Drink at least 2 liters (0.53 US gal) of water each day. Water has the double effect of both hydrating your body and filling your stomach with a certain volume of a liquid that has zero calories. The Institute of Medicine determined that an adequate intake (AI) for men is roughly 3 liters (0.8 US gal) (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day. The AI for women is 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day.
Work indulgence foods into your calorie plan. If you do want to have something that is a little higher in calories, then make sure that you work it into your overall calorie goal for the day. For example, if you are following a 1,800 calorie plan, and you want to have a brownie that is 300 calories, then you would only have 1,500 calories left for the day.
The original therapeutic diet for paediatric epilepsy provides just enough protein for body growth and repair, and sufficient calories[Note 1] to maintain the correct weight for age and height. The classic therapeutic ketogenic diet was developed for treatment of paediatric epilepsy in the 1920s and was widely used into the next decade, but its popularity waned with the introduction of effective anticonvulsant medications. This classic ketogenic diet contains a 4:1 ratio by weight of fat to combined protein and carbohydrate. This is achieved by excluding high-carbohydrate foods such as starchy fruits and vegetables, bread, pasta, grains, and sugar, while increasing the consumption of foods high in fat such as nuts, cream, and butter. Most dietary fat is made of molecules called long-chain triglycerides (LCTs). However, medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs)—made from fatty acids with shorter carbon chains than LCTs—are more ketogenic. A variant of the classic diet known as the MCT ketogenic diet uses a form of coconut oil, which is rich in MCTs, to provide around half the calories. As less overall fat is needed in this variant of the diet, a greater proportion of carbohydrate and protein can be consumed, allowing a greater variety of food choices.
You’ve heard of a self-fulfilling prophecy? If you keep focusing on things you can’t do, like resisting junk food or getting out the door for a daily walk, chances are you won’t do them. Instead (whether you believe it or not) repeat positive thoughts to yourself. “I can lose weight.” “I will get out for my walk today.” “I know I can resist the pastry cart after dinner.” Repeat these phrases and before too long, they will become true for you.
The Mayo Clinic Diet provides practical and realistic ideas for including more physical activity and exercise throughout your day — as well as finding a plan that works for you. The diet recommends getting at least 30 minutes of exercise every day and even more exercise for further health benefits and weight loss. The diet also emphasizes moving more throughout the day, such as taking the stairs instead of an elevator.

I am a Clinical Psychologist who gained my doctorate in clinical psychology at UCL in 1998 and have worked in the UK and abroad.
I work in the voluntary sector and in private practice, providing psychotherapeutic interventions for children and young people. I work with adults in my private practice and provide sandplay therapy processes for those wishing to experience this unique therapy or to go on and train in sandplay techniques.
I also work within school settings, attending multi-disciplinary meetings, providing supervision and meeting with parents or other professionals. Much of the work involves liaison and advice shared with family support workers, teachers, play therapists or social workers.
I provide long and short-term therapy for children, young people and adults who present with a range of difficulties such as abuse, trauma, bereavement, anxiety, depression or school-based problems.
I work using a psychodynamic model and am also a certified Sandplay Therapist. This psychoanalytical therapy draws on Jungian theory and I am the current Chair for the British and Irish Sandplay Society (BISS). I have a particular passion for this way of working and the way in which sandplay increases emotional wellbeing particularly when dealing with issues around loss and trauma.
I utilise many other creative ways of working, whether it be through play, painting or clay and have also trained in the use of clay therapy as certified by PTUK (Play Therapy UK).
I am a member of the Division of Clinical Psychology, the British Psychological Society (BPS), The British and Irish Sandplay Society (BISS) and the International Society of Sandplay Therapy (ISST). I am registered with HCPC (Health Care Professions Council) and with BPS as a Chartered Psychologist specializing in psychotherapy.
Aside from my work, I have lived in many different countries since I was a child and as a result am often mindful of issues of transience, loss and identity within my framework. I love my cats, vegetable garden and have recently learnt to crochet!
Therapeutically I strive to create a warm and engaging therapeutic space, whether for adults or children, as Jung reminds us “Warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.”

Mike Hornbeck and Armada Japan take on spring jumps at Mammoth
Mike Hornbeck’s short film Wreckallections has been making a splash across the Internet, and has made Hornbeck a household name within the skiing world. Armada released an edit today featuring Hornbeck on a trip to Mammoth, filming for Wreckallections. Hornbeck explains the episode here:
“We went to Mammoth at the end of May to finish up filming for Wreckallections. We met up with Bull and Yohei (Armada Japan) for the weekend. The last day of the trip was one of the best. The sun was out, the vibes were right, and nobody was there; we had the park to ourselves. Here are a few shots from the session.”

The two bills, sponsored by Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.), would restrict federal and state law enforcement officials from patrolling an already porous border area that extends from Sonora, Mexico into Santa Cruz County, Ariz., critics charge.
However, some members of Congress and environmental activists maintain the legislation would provide for greater flexibility in enforcing the border while safeguarding natural treasures.
Grijalva has proposed extending federal wilderness protection to approximately 84,000 acres of the Tumacacori Highlands within the Coronado National Forest, which is located adjacent to the Pajarita Wilderness that runs along the Mexican border.
This wilderness designation would effectively push the Mexican border 30 miles to the north of its present location, according to Zack Taylor, a retired U.S. Border Patrol officer.
To be effective, he said, U.S. border security personnel must have the flexibility to move laterally along U.S. and Mexican territory in response to traffic, just as the defensive squad of a football team must mirror the movements of an opposing offense.
Grijalva’s bills would essentially create “safe havens” for criminals who smuggle illegal aliens and narcotics into the U.S., because law enforcement personnel would be hindered under the laws, said Taylor.
“Each stretch of the border has its own solution,” he told Cybercast News Service. “Once you have success in catching smugglers and illegal aliens at a particular crossing point, the next group simply moves laterally along the line, and then the border patrol must respond. They [the smuggler and the aliens] are the ones who decided where the Border Patrol works, not the Border Patrol.”
There is no point in going into an area where there are no alien crossings, Taylor said. Moreover, he pointed out, the Border Patrol has to wait until a crossing takes place before it can move.
“These bills would do great harm to our national security, because they would restrict our agents from operating in key corridors,” Taylor said. “Once this becomes known, it will be easier for smugglers and other criminals to predict the movements of our Border Patrol and to make adjustments.”
As it stands now, there is already a heavy concentration of criminal enterprises that involve both human and drug trafficking organizations, Taylor said.
Border security bills?
Grijalva introduced two pieces of legislation last year that remain a source of consternation for border security proponents.
H.R. 2593, the Borderlands Conservation and Security Act, would preclude border security officials from operating on federal land, while H.R. 3287, the Tumacacori Highlands Wilderness Act, would establish a wilderness zone at the precise point where one of the largest illegal entry points into the U.S. exists.
Chuck Cushman, founder and executive director of the American Land Rights Association, said if Congress passes Grijalva’s bills, it would create a “massive new opening” for illegal aliens.
“Drug smugglers and human traffickers would be protected, and the Border Patrol handcuffed,” Cushman said. “The bills will make it far more difficult to police an already challenging part of the border. They [the lawmakers] might as well pave a superhighway for illegals and just say openly, ‘This is how you get into the U.S.’”
Bonner Cohen, author of "The Green Wave: Environmentalism and its Consequences," told Cybercast News Service that he does not anticipate the Democratic leadership of Congress taking up Grijalva’s bills in the midst of an election year.
However, with Democrats expecting to pick up seats in both chambers this coming fall, the two bills should be viewed as examples of what may be coming down the pike, he added.
“Anytime you reduce the access of law enforcement, you make life easier for the smuggler,” Cohen said.
“Whether you are smuggling people or drugs, the coyotes on the other side of the border know the national forest is a corridor to promote their agenda. Having a new wilderness area placed adjacent to the existing corridor will just open the floodgates. Environmentalism is being used as pretext to harm national security,” he added.
Kent Lundgren, chairman of the National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers (NAFBPO), said the impetus behind the legislation does not come from any public outcry on the part of citizens in Arizona or in other border states, but is instead the handiwork of environmental activists connected with the Sky Island Alliance (SKI), a self-described grassroots organization formed in 1991.
The alliance has long opposed motorized activity in the Coronado National Forest and supports the creation of an “interconnected” conservation area across southeastern Arizona.
Matt Skroch, SKI executive director, expressed strong support for Grijalva’s Wilderness Act in testimony last year before the House Natural Resources Committee’s national parks, forests and public lands subcommittee.
“The Tumacacori Highlands Wilderness Act is a part of ensuring that our quality of life and access to premier wilderness lands keeps in step with the new demands placed on our landscapes,” Skroch said.
“The Tumacacori Highlands are near the international border with Mexico, and currently the border patrol maintains one of their few remaining horse patrol units in the area because of its rough topography and inaccessibility by vehicle,” he later continued. “From the beginning, proponents of the Wilderness bill made it clear that we had no intention of impeding the border patrol’s ability to do their job.”
Mike Quigley, the Wilderness Campaign coordinator for the Sky Island Alliance, told Cybercast News Service that border security and environmental protection should not be viewed as “an either or choice.”
The homeland security secretary has signed agreements with the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Interior that provide for striking an appropriate balance, Quigley said. If Chertoff himself can make this acknowledgement, others should too, he suggested.
Moreover, the rugged nature of the terrain in some areas of Arizona act as a natural barrier against illegal crossings, Quigley said.
But Lundgren and other Border Patrol experts have a much different view of the legislation, which they have outlined in an open letter addressed to policymakers.
“It is imperative that the authority vested in agents and their ability to defend our borders remain seamless and unencumbered,” Lundgren wrote in the letter. “It is obvious that a wilderness designation, the most restrictive of all federal land designations, along our international border would create adverse impediments to efforts to perform these difficult and dangerous responsibilities.”
This past April, Grijalva, who serves as chairman of the subcommittee on national parks, forests and public lands, held a field hearing in Brownsville, Texas, that focused attention on the environmental impact of border fence construction. He was joined by congressional figures from both parties.
The Arizona Democrat has been a consistent critic of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff’s decision to waive regulations affecting a planned border security fence.
In June, the U.S. Supreme Court turned away an appeal from environmental groups that would prevent the federal government from waiving regulations during construction of the security fence along the U.S-Mexican border. (See Related Story)
Cybercast News Service made repeated phone calls to Grijalva’s office requesting an interview and seeking additional comment. The interview request was not answered.
However, Gloria Montano, chief of staff to the congressman, said opposing groups were responsible for circulating “disinformation” about the pending legislation. Moreover, she said, the two bills were separate and distinct from one another and addressed different issues.
Rosemary Jenks, director of governmental relations for Numbers USA, told Cybercast News Service, however, that the members of Congress who testified at the field hearing in Brownsville in support of the legislation “seemed more interested in protecting illegal immigration than they did in protecting natural assets.”
“If all they do is restrict border security, while allowing illegal immigration to continue unabated they will be complicit in destroying those public lands for future generations. I can tell you from personal experience that environmental devastation caused by the illegal flow is far greater than the environmental impact of a security fence at the border.”

WWSM Says: -
With its nose rising imperiously into the air, the impressive stature of the Stirling was a result of the massive, lengthened undercarriage the aircraft employed, a design modification needed to give the Stirling a greater angle of attack during take-off.
The Stirling's huge bomb bay allowed the aircraft to carry three times as many bombs as the Vickers Wellington and almost nine times the weight carried by a Bristol Blenheim, presenting the RAF with a potent new weapon with which to take the war to the enemy and pointing the way towards the future of night bombing operations.
Stirling Mk.III LJ542 was unusual in that it sported rather elaborate nose artwork, a feature which was nothing like as prevalent on British aircraft during WWII but was in this case particularly impressive. Named 'The Gremlin Teaser', the artwork featured a pin-up girl wearing what appear to be strap-on angel wings, the inference thought to be that this angelic figure was flying in defiance of evil, in this age-old wartime struggle of good against evil, something its crew must have felt they were doing on a nightly basis.
'The Gremlin Teaser' would end up being a veteran of 60 operational sorties and during her time with No.199 Squadron, was involved in undertaking vital electronic countermeasures missions, particularly around the time of D-Day, confusing enemy defences in advance of the Allied invasion.

Abstract 2401: The Impact Of Ambulance-based Triage For Primary Angioplasty On Treatment Intervals And Clinical Outcome
Introduction: Ambulance-based triage for primary angioplasty has been shown to reduce treatment delays. The impact on clinical outcome has not been studied extensively.
Method: Consecutive patients who presented with STEMI (≥ 6mm) and who were referred for primary angioplasty to our intervention center in 2005 and 2006 were studied. Self-referred patients were excluded. Before transferral of the patient, the cath-lab was activated after consultation of our physician. Patients were referred either from the ambulance after prehospital diagnosis by trained paramedics or from a non-intervention center.
Results: In total 373 patients were referred, of whom 275 (74%) directly from the ambulance and 98 (26%) through a non-intervention center. Ambulance-triaged patients tended to be younger (62±12 vs. 65±14 yrs, p=0.06) and more often had a large (>15mm deviation) STEMI (62% vs. 50%, p=0.04). The median first-medical-contact-to-balloon time was significantly shorter after ambulance triage (63 min. (IQR:52– 80) vs. 100 min. (IQR:78–126), p<0.01). At a median follow-up of 270 days (IQR:144 – 483) survival of ambulance-triaged patients was higher (90% vs. 81%; log rank p=0.03). After adjusment for age and STEMI size, ambulance-triaged patients had improved survival HR 1.9 (95%CI: 1.1–3.4, p=0.03).
Conclusions: Ambulance-based triage for primary angioplasty with prehospital activation of the catheterization laboratory is associated with significantly shorter treatment delays as compared to referral through a non-intervention center. After adjustment for age and infarct size, ambulance triage was associated with improved long-term survival.
