  • 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.

  • Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X
    1 Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X "Most ideas come from previous ideas." Alan Curtis Kay The Mac OS X operating system represents a rather successful coming together of paradigms, ideologies, and technologies that have often resisted each other in the past. A good example is the cordial relationship that exists between the command-line and graphical interfaces in Mac OS X. The system is a result of the trials and tribulations of Apple and NeXT, as well as their user and developer communities. Mac OS X exemplifies how a capable system can result from the direct or indirect efforts of corporations, academic and research communities, the Open Source and Free Software movements, and, of course, individuals. Apple has been around since 1976, and many accounts of its history have been told. If the story of Apple as a company is fascinating, so is the technical history of Apple's operating systems. In this chapter,[1] we will trace the history of Mac OS X, discussing several technologies whose confluence eventually led to the modern-day Apple operating system. [1] This book's accompanying web site (www.osxbook.com) provides a more detailed technical history of all of Apple's operating systems. 1 2 2 1 1.1. Apple's Quest for the[2] Operating System [2] Whereas the word "the" is used here to designate prominence and desirability, it is an interesting coincidence that "THE" was the name of a multiprogramming system described by Edsger W. Dijkstra in a 1968 paper. It was March 1988. The Macintosh had been around for four years.

  • Final Cut Pro Help
    Sending from Final Cut Pro to Compressor You can export a Browser clip or sequence directly from Final Cut Pro to Compressor by using the Send to Compressor command. Exporting media from Final Cut Pro to Compressor works nearly the same as using Compressor as a standalone application. The main difference is that Final Cut Pro renders media directly to Compressor during the encoding process, so you don’t need to create an intermediate QuickTime movie. When Should You Export Directly to Compressor? The advantage of exporting a sequence to Compressor directly from Final Cut Pro is that rendering happens as part of the transcoding process, potentially saving you time and eliminating unwanted artifacts. Compression and chapter markers in your Final Cut Pro sequence can be included in the resulting compressed media files. When imported into DVD Studio Pro, the chapter markers automatically appear in the Track Editor. Depending on the length of the movie, the format you are exporting to, and your computer’s capabilities, exporting can take a significant amount of time. Another option is to use the Share feature in Final Cut Pro, which can process export sessions in the background. For more information, see Using Share. To send a sequence or clip from Final Cut Pro to Compressor 1. In the Browser, select a sequence or clip you want to export. If you want to export only a specific segment of a clip or sequence, set In and Out points in your clip or sequence. 2. Choose File > Send To > Compressor. Compressor opens and the sequence or clip you exported from Final Cut Pro appears as a new encoding job in a Compressor Batch window.
