If you're free on Sunday night and you live within a certain range of northern latitudes, you might want to look out a window. 

Meteorologists are predicting an aurora borealis, or northern lights show.

The northern lights are the result of our sun's solar storms, which emit streams of charged particles that can reach Earth. Magnetic fields from the north and south poles pull the particles into the upper or occasionally lower atmosphere, where they collide with neutral particles.  Read more...

The robots are coming for our jobs, and Wall Street is getting a little nervous. 

A recent survey of 1000 financial professionals conducted by LinkedIn, the networking site, found that 25% of Wall Streeters are worried their job could be jeopardized by automation. Retail bankers are the most fearful with a third of respondents saying they view automation as a threat, according to a report highlighting the survey's results. 

It stands to reason that some folks are nervous, as Wall Street firms look to automate their infrastructure to cut jobs. 

As one survey respondent frankly put it, "automation will continue to reduce the number of jobs in finance."

Citigroup is staffing up for the automation revolution. The New York-based financial services giant has plastered online jobs boards advertising roles for a new automation center that will deploy new robotic technology throughout the bank.

JPMorgan, which is spending big on technology as it looks to cut costs and increase efficiency, last year launched a predictive recommendation engine to identify those clients which should issue or sell equity. And now, given the initial success of the engine, it's being rolled out to other areas.

And at an event in January, Goldman Sachs' deputy chief financial officer Marty Chavez said the bank was focused on automating investment banking tasks. He said that the bank has mapped out 146 distinct steps in the initial public offering process, and that many of these are "begging to be automated," according to MIT Technology Review.

Not everyone is worried about the ongoing wave of digitization sweeping Wall Street, however. For instance, 43% of those surveyed from the wealth-management industry think fintech is overhyped. 

"Financial advisors/wealth managers lead the charge on thinking that there will always be demand for traditional financial services, whereas interest in fintech will rise and fall (43%, compared to 29% overall)," the report said. 

Wealth-managers say that demand for human interaction in their space will protect them from automation, according to the report. 

A big note on financial technology by Morgan Stanley penned by a team of analysts led by Giulia Aurora Miotti supports this notion that humans are safe in wealth-management. 

"The financial sector consumer often needs some sort of human contact, especially when abrupt market moves lead to unexpected losses," the analysts wrote.

As such, they expect firms that follow a hybrid model of financial advice will be the best positioned for success in the wealth-management space moving forward. 

The so-called cyborg or hybrid model refers to a financial advice platform that pairs algorithm based financial planning with components of human interaction. It's essentially financial advice with a human face and robo insides.

Betterment, a firm many consider the poster child of robo-advice, provides a recent case study of the industry-wide shift towards hybrid financial advice. Earlier this year, the firm responded to this desire for human help by rolling out new hybrid services that pair human help with its computerized financial advice.

Combustible airborne dust that escapes during bulk material flow represents a major threat to both people and property. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) defines combustible dusts as “fine particles that present an explosion hazard when suspended in air in certain conditions” (i.e. a high concentration in an enclosed space where heat and oxygen are present).

Aurora, IL (PRWEB) July 19, 2017

Benetech, Inc. has been taking the lead in developing solutions for a dust-free work environment and a safe material flow for bulk material handling companies.

Combustible airborne dust that escapes during bulk material flow represents a major threat to both people and property. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) defines combustible dusts as “fine particles that present an explosion hazard when suspended in air in certain conditions” (i.e. a high concentration in an enclosed space where heat and oxygen are present). A dust explosion can result in significant physical harm, as well as damaged relations between a bulk material handler and its community.

In many events involving a dust explosion, business operators and staff are not aware of the developing danger. Just a few industries often at risk of combustible airborne dust include agriculture, chemicals, fertilizers, wood/forestry, paper and pulp, furniture and coal.

“We devote great resources to developing products, services and technologies that minimize airborne dust and ensure material flow safety,” said Benetech Vice President Paul Moran. “As specialists in dust filtration, containment and suppression, we provide what bulk material handlers need to reduce dust spillage, dispersion and accumulation. This leads to working environments that are much more secure, as well as greater regulatory compliance.”

Benetech’s range of solutions for dust suppression and safe material flow includes:

Advanced and patented technologies for engineered transfer chutes
Inspection doors for access to hidden areas
Belt cleaners that prevent carryback and spillage
Belt support and containment that restrict the escape of combustible dust
GreenTarp™ dust suppression for control of inactive piles and ground covers
Washdown systems that make cleaning more efficient
Wet-dust extraction that removes up to 99.5% of airborne dust
Specialty applications that inhibit spontaneous combustion

Benetech specialists also review existing dust filtration, containment and suppression systems and troubleshoot for any deficiencies in them. They further consult with bulk material handlers in following OSHA recommendations for material flow safety and a dust-free work environment.

Benetech provides complete, performance-based solutions for dust mitigation and bulk material handling systems. Its products, services and technologies reduce dust, prevent spillage, improve material flow and reinforce compliance. A partner in planning, engineering and operating dust control and material handling, Benetech helps companies assess challenges, establish priorities and achieve the results they require.

Acquisition activity in the physician medical group market plunged in the second quarter of 2017, according to data from HealthcareMandA.com

Norwalk, Connecticut (PRWEB) July 20, 2017

Physician medical group M&A activity plunged in the second quarter of 2017 to just 30 transactions, a 49% drop from the first quarter, according to new acquisition data from HealthCareMandA.com. The 30 transactions also represented a decline of 29% from the second quarter of 2016. It is important to note, however, that the first quarter of 2017 represented the highest level of physician medical group M&A activity in several years. With the decline in the number of transactions came a drop in the dollar volume to just $760 million in the second quarter. This was 77% below the first quarter’s results and 89% below the year-ago quarter’s dollar volume. It should be noted that only one transaction had a disclosed price in both the first quarter and second quarter.

Epiphany Dermatology announced three acquisitions in the second quarter, while Gastro Health, Envision Healthcare and Aurora Diagnostics announced two each. Envision has announced six acquisitions in the first half of 2017. “Envision Healthcare has really stepped up its buying spree this year, despite the overall market for physician medical group acquisitions suffering a downturn in the second quarter,” stated Lisa Phillips, editor of the Health Care M&A Report, which publishes the data. Only three of the acquired medical groups had 20 or more physicians, compared with nine in the first quarter.

Hospital companies or health systems announced just two physician medical group acquisitions in the second quarter of 2017, while private equity firms announced six, not including transactions announced by physician medical groups backed by PE firms. Nine of the targets in the second quarter were dermatology practices. “With the fate of reimbursement up in the air, buyers are more comfortable targeting the specialty practices,” commented Phillips.        

All quarterly results are published in The Health Care M&A Report for all 13 sectors of health care, which is part of the HealthCareMandA.com. For more information, or to order the report, call 800-248-1668. Irving Levin Associates, Inc. was established in 1948 and has headquarters in Norwalk, Connecticut.
