  • White Paper Arca.Com Apple’S Genius Bar: a Model to Address Declining Bank Traffic
    APPLE’S GENIUS BAR®: a model to address declining bank traffic June 2016 WHITE PAPER ARCA.COM APPLE’S GENIUS BAR: A MODEL TO ADDRESS DECLINING BANK TRAFFIC :: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The community bank used to be a busy place. Customers stood in line, if not happily, at least willingly, since it was the only way to manage their accounts and conduct their financial transactions. So, it comes as no surprise to those in the banking industry — or even those who still frequent brick-and-mortar banks — that bank traffic has declined precipitously in the last several decades. Statistics support this anecdotal evidence. Research firm, FMSI, reported in its 2015 Teller Line Study1 that bank branch transaction volumes have decreased 45 percent since 1992. So, why the decline? At its roots, this reduction in branch traffic is the result of changing customer demands. Today’s customers want shorter wait times, expert advice and personal, concierge-style service. Banks have responded by upgrading their mobile services and offering more of the traditionally in-branch-only features online. The fact that banks are responding to changing customer behaviors and rolling out new online and mobile services further reduces customers’ need to go to the bank. This flexibility and willingness to innovate, while entirely necessary, only increases the rate at which customers are moving away from traditional banking methods. As banks continue to lose foot traffic, many are seeking an actionable solution to the problem. Perhaps they can take a cue from the nearest Apple® store. By implementing a model that mirrors Apple’s Genius Bar®, banks can satisfy customers by: • Reducing wait time • Providing expert advice • Offering highly trained staff Once just a theory, the benefits of this approach have been proven in practice.

  • The Retirement Boom
    THE RETIREMENT BOOM Integration: The Circle Goals Exercise Here is one of our ways to get you thinking and building a plan that will take you to the place you dream about. Now you have a vision; let’s get the goals on paper. Often the New Year’s resolutions that we write are forgotten two weeks later, possibly because they are not realistic or do not relate to real life. Then we go right back to our old habits, whether they are about our health, finances, relationships, or work, thus sustaining lives that are not balanced, and are therefore, unfulfilling. The Circle Goals Exercise is about changing your life and putting it back into harmony and balance. In the exercise section of this chapter, we’re going to ask you to com- plete Circle Goals that will serve as your guidepost for integrating all aspects of your life. Cathy created this activity and used it for several years before we wrote about it in our books Reboot Your Life and Revolutionary Retirement. The purpose of the exercise is to balance your life around its most important aspects for the coming year and to move you closer to realizing your dreams. The simple chart is a circle divided into six or eight pie slices of equal size to remind you to give equal time—at least mental thought— to them. It’s a holistic approach. 1 Planning and Designing Your Reinvention Label the pie slices on the chart with six key aspects of your life. Examples might be: career, financial, travel, philanthropy, spirituality or religion, creativity, friends and family, romantic relationships, health and exercise, or whatever you want to realize over the next year.

  • Exporting Quicktime Files from Final Cut Pro
    Exporting Quicktime files from Final Cut Pro This is the only supported method for getting video out of Final Cut Pro as Quicktime files in the Digital Studio. Other approaches or settings may work, but require testing first. Exporting material from Apple ProRes 422 files is slow, plan ahead and test early if you are planning to run down to the last minute when finishing a project. Before starting the export process, be sure to save your Final Cut Pro project and ensure no extra material is on the timeline. Typing Shift-Z while the timeline is active will zoom to show all media. If you have extra clips after the end of your video, you must either set an out point on the timeline at the desired end of the video or delete the extraneous clips. Failure to do so will result in a longer video (and export process) than expected. Make sure the Timeline is the active window in Final Cut Pro by clicking in it. File > Send To > Compressor... In the Settings Window, find the setting at Apple > Formats > QuickTime > QuickTIme H.264 and drag it to the export entry in the Batch/Untitled window. This applies the proper file format to your export. The default export location is locked on DIgital Studio computers due to user account access and must be changed before exporting your video is possible. To do that, click once on the entry in the Batch/Untitled window, then select Target > Destination > Other and point the export location to your external hard drive and click “Open” Click “Submit” in the Batch/Untitled window, and again in the dialog that opens up.

Unlike iPhoto, it’s designed to be an incredibly flexi- ble image, video, and audio file asset management tool that you can integrate into your existing workflow. However, this flexibility means that Aperture has more jargon, settings, and buttons than iPhoto.

While digital photography enables you to be more creative as a photographer, from being able to see right away whether you got the shot to being able to experiment as much as you want with the only cost being hard drive space, the “other stuff” arguably gets more frustrating because now you have to manage digital files instead of physical film and learn to use multiple programs to develop and output your images.
