Calas Group Welcomes Employees Home from Military Service in Afghanistan
Coral Gables, FL (PRWEB) December 07, 2014
They were all working for the Afghanistan Threat Finance Cell, Bagram AFB, AFG, a cell seeking to identify and disrupt financial networks related to terrorism, the Taliban, narcotics trafficking and corruption. The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s website states, “Led by the Drug Enforcement Agency with Treasury serving as co-deputy, nearly 60 Afghan Threat Finance Cell (ATFC) personnel are embedded with military commands across Afghanistan to improve the targeting of the insurgents’ financial structure.”
The Calas Group’s team members deployed were: bookkeeper and manager of the Jacksonville office, Jason Corse – US Navy reservist and CPT Brian George – US Army reservist and Calas Group’s Managing Partner. In addition, Mr. Robert French – DIA Contractor, Calas Group’s tax attorney and future manager of their Dallas/Fort Worth office. The Dallas/Fort Worth office is scheduled to open late 2015/early 2016.
According to an United States Army War College manuscript entitled, “Emerging DoD Role in the Interagency Counter Threat Finance Mission (CTF)” by Lieutenant Colonel Jennifer E. Carter, United States Marine Corps, “Analyzing financial data is a key weapon in the targeting of terrorists and aids in the tracking, monitoring, exploitation and disruption of the ‘lone wolf’ terrorist or a network and its supporters. With the proper investigative and enforcement mechanisms in place, CTF serves a critical role in destabilizing terrorist organizations by exposing patterns and anomalies regarding income sources, operational expenses and funds transfers over time, eliminating their fiscal resources, and gathering actionable information for operational and intelligence purposes.”
With sixty years of combined experience, the Calas Group has been serving Coral Gables, Jacksonville and surrounding areas for eight highly successful years offering personal services, from estate planning to elder care, and business services, such as small business accounting, payroll and audits, as well as military and tax services, among others. “We are so proud of Jason, Brian and Robert. They are highly skilled and brought their financial expertise to Afghanistan, in service to our country,” said Mr. S. Michael Shlachtman, Senior Partner. “Our military was lucky to have them and we at the Calas Group, as well as our clients, are even luckier to have them back and are thrilled to welcome them home.”
Calas Group’s headquarters is located 2000 Ponce de Leon Boulevard, 6th Floor, Coral Gables, FL, 33134. The Jacksonville office is located at 1533 Lantern Light Trail, Middleburg, FL 32068. For more information, please call (305) 495-5222.

Globalization & Increasing Interdependence Drive the Language Translation Software & Services Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) November 10, 2014
Follow us on LinkedIn – Language Translation, a process that involves communicating the meaning of a source text in a specific language, is a fast growing market driven by increasing globalization of business and commerce. Growing need for businesses to communicate with customers, officials, employees, and partners in target markets is resulting in growing use of translation services to overcome language barriers. Development of product distribution channels and the advent of new platforms and media for publishing and communicating information are also contributing towards market growth. Language translation market comprises a wide range of language services that typically include translation, localization, interpretation, and internationalization as well as supporting technologies.
Demand for language translation is witnessing significant growth encouraged by the rising popularity of Internet for accessing and exchanging data. The transformational role played by Internet in the way business is carried out has led to huge demand for online translation services. Increasing proliferation of Internet in non-English speaking regions such as Latin America, Asia, Europe and Africa is a major factor promoting the need for localized websites. Innovative processes, technologies, applications, and usage of sophisticated products are other factors driving growth in the market. The market is witnessing a shift towards machine language translation from manual translation process, driven in part by emergence of SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) delivery model. Computer-based translation tools, also referred to as translation memory systems, are preferred by smaller companies, professional translators and translation agencies. Technology advancements are enabling embedding of translation technology into a wide range of products from complex enterprise systems to sophisticated consumer gadgets. Advances in communication networks and the rising proliferation of smartphones and tablets have led to the introduction of translation apps to provide instant translation of speech and text. Increasing prominence of cloud computing is also resulting in increasing demand for cloud-based translation tools, which are expected to affect demand for conventional translation technology.
As stated by the new market research report on Language Translation Software and Services, the United States represents the largest regional market worldwide. Increasing population diversity and the need for businesses to sharpen their regional appeal while remaining global in characteristics are major factors attributed to the rise of translation services in the country. Asia-Pacific is forecast to emerge as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 14.9% over the analysis period, supported by rapid mushrooming of foreign owned businesses in the region, lucrative customer base with growing income levels, and existence of several non-English languages in the region.

John Lewis will still win the battle of the Christmas ads, says Oxford academic
Oxford (PRWEB UK) 28 November 2014
Professor Nancy Puccinelli predicts that the £7m John Lewis ad featuring Monty the penguin will attract customers to stores and, particularly if the actual shopping experience matches the mood of the ad, encourage them to spend money. However, Boots, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, and even Waitrose (owned by John Lewis) may struggle to attract more customers via their adverts or encourage them to spend more.
“The number of story-based advertisements this year suggests that many agencies have been eyeing previous John Lewis ads and trying to emulate them, but they haven’t understood that it’s not just about tugging at viewers’ heartstrings,” said Professor Nancy Puccinelli, Associate Professor in Consumer Marketing at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. “Our research shows that a powerful element in communicating with consumers is getting the right fit between marketing messages and what’s driving their decision-making, whether it’s minimising risk or maximising pleasure.”
In a recent research paper, Puccinelli and her co-authors explained that “Back to School” campaigns often implicitly address the fear that children might be starting school without the right kit. People who base their decision-making on minimising risk are particularly susceptible to this sort of messaging. But at Christmas it is more profitable to appeal to consumers with a “promotion mindset” – those who respond to images of indulgence, and who will be open to switching to premium brands and to spending more to get the most out of their purchasing.
“With this in mind, I think that the John Lewis ad, which doesn’t really focus on specific products but does present an idealised, rather up-market picture of a family Christmas, will do very well,” said Puccinelli. “The current Sainsbury’s 1914 and Boots Boxing day ads are interesting because, while they both feature heart-warming stories, I don’t think they tap into the idea of indulgence, which is what will get consumers spending more in their stores – obviously the main aim of these promotions. The Boots 2011 TV ad spoke more directly to their consumers to optimize pleasure. With this year’s adverts, people will enjoy watching, but won’t necessarily feel the urge to buy much more than a chocolate bar, even if it is one in retro 1914 packaging.”
Puccinelli also believes that the Tesco’s ad, which centres on lighting up a large store car park, fails to create an indulgent feel.
She suggests that even the Waitrose ads could be improved upon. “The Waitrose ad contains a sweet story, but its message seems to be rather a utilitarian one, focusing on good customer service, or preventative one– worried about getting your Christmas baking wrong? Come to Waitrose and we’ll help. More of a focus on the celebratory could help Waitrose convert our enjoyment of the advert into more sales.”
According to Puccinelli’s research, even small adjustments to marketing messages to improve the fit with consumers’ prevailing states of mind can boost sales by up to 186%. Getting it wrong, such as emphasising cheapness (step forward Iceland) or price promotions when people are in the mood to spend money and buy the best, can even have a negative effect.
