      <content:encoded><![CDATA[The Carole Nash MCN Motorcycle Show 2012 kicks off this Thursday at ExCeL London, marking the start of another season of action-packed events for the UK’s favourite bike insurance broker. This year will see Carole Nash take part in over 25 shows, ride outs and special events, ensuring that the company remains at the heart of the motorcycling community.<br />
<br />
As a long-standing supporter of the London show, motorcycle insurance broker <a href='http://www.carolenash.com/' target='_blank'>Carole Nash</a> is well known for its exciting displays of custom machines and 2012 will be no exception. Highlights will include two stunning Shaw Speed & Custom Harley-Davidson creations - the 2009 Fatboy that was completely dismantled and re-built in support of the film Captain America and the unique Rocker C ‘Mission Impossible’ - so called after the owner’s very specific brief.<br />
<br />
As well as seeing these impressive motorcycles, visitors will also have the chance to chat to the Carole Nash staff about all things biking. Experts will be on hand to offer invaluable advice on the best <a href='http://www.carolenash.com/' target='_blank'>motorbike insurance</a> packages available and provide quotes to suit individual bikers’ needs. The ever-popular Carole Nash girls will be available for photos while they hand out the last of the much sought-after 2012 Carole Nash calendars.<br />
<br />
By entering the annual Carole Nash promotion, one lucky visitor could become the proud owner not only of the bike of their dreams, but also the means with which to customise it. The winner will be free to choose any motorcycle of their choice up to the value of £15,000 plus £10,000 for any modifications.<br />
<br />
Having paid a visit to the title sponsor’s stand, visitors can head out into the rest of the Carole Nash MCN Motorcycle Show to experience everything that ‘the greatest bike show on earth’ has to offer. Some of the world’s leading manufacturers will be present displaying their hottest new bikes and accessories, racing stars will be dropping by for autograph signing sessions and visitors will have the chance to make massive savings on kit and accessories.<br />
<br />
This year the ticket price includes entry to the unique and action-packed Revolution show - a head-to-head adrenaline fuelled competition featuring some of Britain’s best biking talent, including John McGuinness, Neil Hodgson and David Knight. The advance ticket price of £20 represents great value for anybody with a passion for motorbikes and Carole Nash is proud to continue its support of the show.<br />
<br />
“We’re excited about the year of great shows and events ahead as each one provides the perfect opportunity to extend our ongoing commitment to understanding motorcyclists,” explains Carole Nash Events Manager Sarah Griffiths. “It is so important that we are out there in the community, talking to motorcyclists not just about insurance, but about motorcycling as a whole and what makes bikers tick. Everyone is welcome on the Carole Nash stand and we have some great promotions and giveaways planned, so come along and see us if you can.”<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[L3F Explores the Financial Services Industry to 2050 – Surprises Include the Size, Location and Role of Financial Services<br />
<br />
LONDON, England – 3RD February 2012 – The L3F (Long Finance Forum of Futurists) report “In Safe Hands? The Future of Financial Services”, which explores the Financial Services Industry to 2050, suggests that future debates over banker’s bonuses may recede as automation and algorithms come to dominate the financial services industry.  The report, published by Long Finance as part of the Financial Centre Futures programme sponsored by Qatar Financial Centre Authority, was officially launched and debated at Barnards Inn, London on 25th January 2012. <br />
<br />
The report is the result of a scenario planning exercise conducted by internationally recognised futurists and key figures from the global financial services industry.  It plots a series of possible future scenarios for the global financial services market, and considers the future of financial services over the next 40 years.  It also identifies a number of surprises which come out of the analysis, ranging from questions on the size, location and role of financial services, a question mark over the future of insurance, to a change in the nature of assets which will be valued.<br />
<br />
During the launch event the discussions highlighted significant and surprising trends in the financial services industry; <br />
<br />
•	A significant change in the relationship between financial services and society over the next 10 years - generating increasing pressure for some financial organisations to move to mutual models – or replicate their reward systems within traditional plc models. <br />
<br />
•	A rapidly increasing use of automation and algorithms - automated systems will develop that are far better than humans at managing complex systems. Whilst this is already happening, the report suggests that there may be huge paradigm shifts causing instability.<br />
<br />
•	Leadership should be focused on long term planning rather than short term gain – suggesting that financial services leaders may have to become experts in long term scenario planning rather than on short term risk taking.<br />
<br />
•	Insurance industry will adopt a more in-depth risk approach – in the short term the trend on underwriting in the EU and USA based on ethical considerations included bans or restrictions on the use of genetic information and, most recently in the EU, a ban on the use of gender as a risk factor for insurance .  The report suggests that this will give way to different business models based on city states or affinity groups.<br />
<br />
•	Globalisation of financial services will dramatically change product delivery – with a very different approach to the delivery of financial services when written by people in other parts of the world. For instance, China is investing directly in western infrastructure without the involvement of the external global banking system.<br />

The Future of Financial Services” is available at:  <a title='Goes&nbsp;to&nbsp;website&nbsp;of:&nbsp;http://www.samiconsulting.co.uk/4insafehands.pdf' href='http://www.samiconsulting.co.uk/4insafehands.pdf' target='_blank'>http://www.samiconsulting.co.uk/4insafehands.pdf</a> <br />

to “improve society’s understanding and use of finance over the long-term” in contrast to the short-termism that defines today’s financial and economic views.  They publish papers under the Financial Centre Futures programme in order to initiate discussion on the changing landscape of global finance.  Financial Centre Futures consists of in-depth research as well as the popular Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI).  They have also initiated two other publication series: Eternal Brevities and Finance Shorts.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Although normally only 12% of our New Year’s Resolutions succeed, British dieters have found an effective method to incorporate their resolutions in their lives. A hefty 84% of people who have joined the <a href='http://www.jennycraig.co.uk' target='_blank'>JENNY CRAIG</a> programme in 2012 are still sticking to their diet plans, and on average, they have lost 5.58lbs during the first 3 weeks of the year.<br />
<br />
Independent research shows that in 2011, exactly half of all British adults thought of themselves as overweight.  40% of British men felt this way about themselves, versus 59% of British women. What’s even more shocking is the way people dealt with their worries about their weight and health. The same research showed that 39% of the female and 23% of the male population said that they were trying to lose weight most of the time, and 14% of all Brits admitted that they often skip a meal in order to lose some weight.<br />
<br />
Jacqui Morrell, JENNY CRAIG dietician, says:  “Skipping meals actually works against weight loss. Your metabolism will slow down if you don’t eat, which makes it more difficult to lose weight. On the JENNY CRAIG programme, we encourage people to have 3 meals and 3 snacks throughout the day.”<br />
<br />
In 2007, the British psychologist Richard Wiseman studied 3000 people in the UK and discovered that 88% of our serious New Year’s resolutions are abandoned prematurely. Since the most popular New Year’s resolution is weight loss, it’s impressive that 84% of people who made the New Year’s resolution to lose weight with Jenny Craig are still going strong.<br />
<br />
Jacqui Morrell says: “The key to JENNY CRAIG’s success is our very personal approach. If you’re on JENNY CRAIG, we prepare and deliver portion and calorie controlled food which spans a range of cuisines and is also incredibly tasty.   Clients have their own personal consultant who calls at a convenient time every week to discuss how it’s going and to inspire you to keep up the good work as you successfully lose weight. And if you have any questions throughout the week, clients can always get in touch with one of the consultants.  It really is one of the ultimate weight loss programmes – you’ll never look back!”<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Measuring Attacks Against Muslims and those Perceived as Muslims in England<br />
<br />
Embargoed for: February 9th 2012 00:01 hrs<br />
From: Faith Matters, <a title='Goes&nbsp;to&nbsp;website&nbsp;of:&nbsp;www.faith-matters.org' href='http://www.faith-matters.org' target='_blank'>www.faith-matters.org</a><br />
Contact: Fiyaz Mughal OBE FCMI, Founder and Director - Faith Matters, <a title=Sends&nbsp;email&nbsp;to:&nbsp;fiyaz href="mailto:fiyaz@faith-matters.co.uk">fiyaz@faith-matters.co.uk</a><br />
<br />
NGO Faith Matters are launching a new and innovative programme that aims to monitor and map all anti-Muslim attacks made across the UK. The programme, entitled <a href='http://www.tellmamauk.org' target='_blank'>Measuring Anti-Muslim Attacks</a> (MAMA), will create a database of areas in the UK that suffer anti-Muslim attacks whilst providing support for victims.<br />
<br />
The programme works by enabling victims of anti-Muslim hate crimes to log onto the website and issue a report that details the incident. Faith Matters has made the programme widely accessible by allowing victims or witnessed of attacks the opportunity to contact MAMA by telephone, SMS messaging, email, Facebook and Twitter. The victim will be asked to select from six possible categories of attack including: extreme violence, assault, damage and desecration of property, threats, abusive behaviour and anti-Muslim literature. <br />
<br />
They will then have the opportunity to give details of the incident and will be asked to provide the location of the attack so that it can be successfully mapped. Moreover, they will be asked to provide their contact details so that a trained case worker may call them to discuss the issue further.<br />
<br />
The MAMA project does not claim to be a substitute for the emergency services and will make this clear to potential victims who may be in grave danger. This service is for Muslim communities throughout the UK and any Muslims who suffer, or have suffered, an attack as a result of their faith. The MAMA project can also be used to record attacks by Muslims against other Muslims which may be due to inter-religious issues. <br />
<br />
Faith Matters caseworkers will be able to log these attacks specifically so that a variety of issues can be mapped and resources provided to support different cases of anti-Muslim attacks.<br />
<br />
“By reporting attacks, we can create a database that will help to tackle anti-Muslim crime throughout the UK; we may then map the areas in which anti- Muslim attacks are most frequent. We want to reduce faith-based crime and  our service can provide Muslims with a place where they may speak freely and openly. We also work with partners that can provide support services to victims of anti-Muslim attacks if required. This is a further added value service that the MAMA project provides” explained Faith Matters Founder and Director, Fiyaz Mughal.<br />
<br />
At present, there is very little information that monitors levels of faith-based crime against Muslims in the UK and if this problem is ever to be solved, it is vital that this information is known.<br />
<br />
Those looking to contact MAMA to report an anti-Muslim attack can do so via:<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[(United Kingdom – 3rd February 2012) The ExtraCare Charitable Trust offers older people the opportunity to enjoy a healthier and more independent lifestyle in a community which represents an alternative to the traditional <a href='http://www.extracare.org.uk/' target='_blank'>care homes</a>.  The trust has announced its plans to create a new state-of-the –art retirement village in the heart of Coventry, just a short walk from the city centre.<br />
<br />
The new complex will be Coventry’s first retirement village and will look to house around 350 senior citizens.  Aiming to be finished by 2015, ExtraCare has earmarked Earlsdon Park as the most popular area which will play host to a food store, restaurant, theatre, hotel and cafe amongst other amenities.  <br />
<br />
The new village will feature a range of homes available for purchase or rent which will be offered to prospective residents aged 55 or over.  As well as creating a vibrant and engaging hub for older people to build a new home, there are plans to build a library, well being centre, gym, IT suite and greenhouse for residents to pass their time and build a community around. <br />
<br />
ExtraCare is committed to creating a more independent living experience for the residents, in a step away from the traditional care homes across the country.  There will, however, be 24 hour support through the Well Being Centre for any residents requiring help. <br />
<br />
Any families interested in discovering more about the ExtraCare communities and the holistic approach towards the new residential complexes are invited to register their interest via the website.  <a href='http://www.extracare.org.uk/extracare-communities.aspx' target='_blank'>Click here</a> to navigate straight to the site and find out more.<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Having just left behind the most expensive annual event in Christmas, the last thing drivers want to have to do is spend more money on a new car battery. As such, CTEK, a leading global brand in the care and maintenance of vehicle batteries, suggests that motorists make the traditionally irregular task of battery maintenance part of their vehicle maintenance routines in 2012 as a means of avoiding having to replace the expensive component. <br />
<br />
Batteries are undoubtedly getting more costly along with pretty much everything associated with driving. However, as with the life of the car itself, the life of its components can be expended considerably with a little care and attention. <br />
<br />
The process of battery care is quick and can be easily incorporated into any car maintenance ritual. Following these simple steps, drivers will be able to extend the lives of their batteries and avoid the expense of purchasing a replacement, as well as the inconvenience that a flat battery causes.<br />
<br />
Outside of the battery<br />
•	First of all disconnect the battery before commencing the next steps.<br />
•	Clean the top and side of the battery with a 1 part baking soda to 8 part water solution, applying with a brush and drying with a cloth. <br />
•	Ensure maximum current reaches the starting and electrical systems in the vehicle by repeating the first step on the battery’s terminals. <br />
•	Reconnect the battery terminals and then apply a coat of petroleum jelly to avoid the build-up of corrosion.<br />
<br />
Inside of the battery<br />
•	Charge with a <a href='http://www.ctek.com/gb/en/page/whycharge/smart-charger' target='_blank'>smart battery charger</a> to not only increase charge levels but to also condition and cleanse the inside of the battery. A CTEK <a href='http://www.ctek.com/gb/en/page/whycharge/car-batteries' target='_blank'>12V Battery Charger</a> will, for example ensure that any sulphur that has built-up on the battery’s plates is removed and broken down into the acid, resulting in the battery being conditioned as well as charged.   <br />
<br />
By simply adding <a href='http://www.ctek.com/gb/en/page/whycharge/battery-charging' target='_blank'>battery charging</a> and cleaning to their usual car maintenance routines, drivers can extend the lives of their batteries exponentially, concurrently saving themselves money and unnecessary inconvenience.  <br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[It’s true. A new range of shape and tone leggings which not only makes the wearer look thinner but which also keeps them in trim has been launched by online tights retailer, Tights Please.<br />
<br />
Designed to flatter the figure, the Trinny and Susannah Shape & Tone Leggings for Slimming “bring back a firm and youthful body” say the eponymous style gurus and assist in smoothing the tummy, shaping the bottom, and sculpting the hips and thighs. <br />
<br />
Flying in the face of those that claim <a href='http://www.tightsplease.co.uk/leggings/' target='_blank'>leggings</a> do no more than encourage laziness, obscure true body shape, and lead to weight gain, the Trinny and Susannah leggings presented by Tights Please actually provide extra support and resistance when moving, improve circulation and encourage weight loss.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, the soft, super opaque (170 denier), matt textured leggings do not sag due to the quality of the yarn used in their manufacture and they provide additional support for the lower back and extra comfort for the tummy and bottom due to the absence of a seam. <br />
<br />
Nicola Pringle, Buying and Marketing Manager at Tights Please, said: “The wearing of leggings is seen by many as a charter for laziness, and until now this view may have had a certain degree of validity.<br />
<br />
“Whist it is true that many women wear leggings because of their convenience, comfort, and ease of use, the new range of <a href='http://www.tightsplease.co.uk/brands/trinny-and-susannah/' target='_blank'>Trinny and Susannah</a> leggings is set to challenge, and in all likelihood, put an end to grumblings over the misleading benefits of leggings and their consequential effect on body shape.”<br />

      <description><![CDATA[LONDON, UK. – Feb. 3, 2012 – SuccessFactors, Inc. (NYSE:SFSF) today announced that based on currently available, unaudited information, the Company expects fiscal 2011 fourth quarter GAAP revenue ...]]></description>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[LONDON, UK. – Feb. 3, 2012 – SuccessFactors, Inc. (NYSE:SFSF) today announced that based on currently available, unaudited information, the Company expects fiscal 2011 fourth quarter GAAP revenue of approximately $97 million and non-GAAP revenue of approximately $100 million. The difference between GAAP and non-GAAP revenue is approximately $3 million associated with the net impact of acquisition related deferred revenue before fair value adjustment.  Billings, defined as GAAP revenue plus change in deferred revenue, are expected to be approximately $144 million for the fourth quarter.  Billings profit, defined as billings less non-GAAP cost of revenue and operating expenses, is expected to be approximately $44.5 million, which translates into a fourth quarter billings margin of 31 percent. Deferred revenue as of Dec. 31, 2011 is expected to be approximately $295 million.  Cash flow from operations for the fourth quarter is expected to be approximately $24.0 million.<br />
<br />
GAAP operating loss for the quarter is expected to be $8.3 million, and GAAP net loss per share for the quarter is expected to be $0.02.  Non-GAAP operating income for the quarter is expected to be $0.1 million and non-GAAP net loss per share for the quarter is expected to be $0.02.  The non-GAAP measures used by SuccessFactors in this press release include the net impact of acquisition related deferred revenue before fair value adjustment, and exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense, the amortization of intangible assets, integration costs, future cash consideration of acquisitions and deal related costs, revaluation of contingent consideration or write-downs for fair value accounting related to business combination, any unrealized foreign exchange gain/loss on an intercompany loan related to the acquisition of Inform, and a tax benefit related to the acquisition of Jobs2web. <br />
<br />
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information: <br />
<br />
SuccessFactors provides quarterly and annual financial statements that are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). To help understand SuccessFactors’ past financial performance and future results, SuccessFactors has supplemented its financial results that it provides in accordance with GAAP, with non-GAAP financial measures. The method SuccessFactors uses to produce non-GAAP financial results is not computed according to GAAP and may differ from the methods used by other companies. The non-GAAP measures used by SuccessFactors in this press release include non-GAAP revenue, billings, billings profit, billings margin, non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net loss per share.  Non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP loss per share exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense, the amortization of intangible assets, integration costs, future cash consideration of acquisitions and deal related costs, revaluation of contingent consideration or write-downs for fair value accounting related to business combination, any unrealized foreign exchange gain/loss on an intercompany loan related to the acquisition of Inform, and a tax benefit related to the acquisitions of Jobs2web.  <br />
<br />
The Company defines billings as revenue plus change in total deferred revenue. Non-GAAP revenue includes the net impact of acquisition related deferred revenue that is required to be adjusted to fair value for GAAP purposes under purchase accounting rules. SuccessFactors’ reference to these non-GAAP financial results should be considered in addition to results that are prepared under current accounting standards but should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial results that are presented as consistent with GAAP. SuccessFactors’ management believes each of these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures are used internally by management to understand, manage and evaluate SuccessFactors’ business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP financial measures are among the factors SuccessFactors’ management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP financial measures of the non-GAAP financial measures is included in this press release.<br />
