TEXT: HEBA HASHEM
Kate Moss Despite her infamous party lifestyle, Moss has been frequently selected by major European, British and American designers to lead their campaigns, just some of these renowned designers include Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, Versace, Calvin Klein, Chanel, Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Burberry, Stella McCartney and Bvlgari. Today, 36-year old Moss, one of the world’s highest paid models, is looking at a slightly different industry – jam making. It started as a hobby at her Cotswolds country estate, when Moss found hoards of damsons in her garden. Soon the supermodel had perfected her homemade recipe and was receiving positive feedback from family and friends. Moss’s fruit conserving hobby is now taking a different spin as she considers launching her own range of jams, to be named ‘Kate’s Damson Jam.’ Moss is accepting help from her seven-year-old daughter Lila Grace and her friend, billionaire retailer Sir Philip Green, who has offered advice on promoting her new jam label and getting on supermarket shelves. Moss has also sent samples of her product to CORBIS

He has challenged preconceptions, smashed convention, pushed boundaries and brought fresh vision into the 450-yearold Swiss watchmaking industry. Nick Rice meets a man passionately consumed by extreme achievement.

SME ADVICE Consider it done
GULF FINANCE
W
elcome to our latest advice column for small and medium sized businesses, brought to you by Steve Williams, CEO at Gulf Finance. Throughout his columns, Steve talks about the challenges faced by many SMEs and shares his thoughts and advice on how to deal with these challenges and come out stronger on the other side. Gulf Finance is an ambitious, progressive finance company operating in the commercial and consumer markets. Gulf Finance offers a variety of straightforward lending and deposit based products and believe in providing their clients with exceptional execution service delivered through a team of highly experienced, deeply motivated financial professionals.
STEVE WILLIAMS

f all of your suppliers gave you 30 days to pay, would you use every single one of those days, essentially using up all of the time allotted to make your payment? How about 60 days? 90? You can be absolutely certain that the vast majority of your debtors would. Unfortunately, this liberty can have a detrimental impact on your cash flow. Worst case scenario, your business could get into a situation where the time between paying your creditors and being paid by your debtors simply does not tally meaning that your ability to trade is dramatically impeded. Dealing with cash flow is a major factor for any business, large or small, and by taking control of it you will not only avoid putting your business in a very precarious situation but you will empower your business’ ability to trade efficiently and effectively by making sure time and money are both on your side. Many businesses cower at the mention of cash flow; however quite on the contrary, controlling your cash flow can be more manageable than you may think. As you would expect, it involves a combination of discipline, endeavour and resilience to make sure every aspect is delivered and controlled consistently. Managing this task can begin with the age-old art of conversation. Simply talking to your customers and suppliers, with the appropriate levels of friendliness or force, to explain that their time to pay has arrived, or that you yourself require a larger credit account limit or more time to pay will prove invaluable to any business. This basic level of communication with debtors and creditors will improve a business’ cash flow almost instantly. In those cases where this approach is not an option, or when every approach of this nature has been explored, Invoice Financing provides an attractive and immediate resolution to your cash flow problems by freeing up capital from your debtors that would typically be unavailable to you. By working with Invoice Financing specialists, like our experts at Gulf
GULF FINANCE
CEO, Gulf Finance Finance, you are given the option to borrow money against your outstanding invoices. This approach to improving cash flow is a very real and reliable option that allows businesses to enhance their liquidity. At Gulf Finance, we have seen a tremendous shift in the demand for Invoice Financing. One of our more recent clients, a facilities management company, came to us seeking a working capital solution when his clients began to request more time to pay. By implementing an effective Invoice Finance facility, this company has been able to ensure they have remained supplied with the tools they need to enable them to service their clients with continuity – a picture that could have been painted entirely differently if the client had not acted as he did to correct his cash flow problems, before they snowballed out of control. When it comes to managing your business’ cash flow issues, time is of the essence; it is fundamental that you have a suitable contingency plan in place ready to combat any potential cash flow problems that will inevitably arise in the future. If your business is one of the many that are experiencing cash flow problems then you need to act immediately and give your business the best chance possible to trade efficiently. If you are one of the lucky few businesses that do not have these issues then it is equally as vital that you consider what the future may hold. Make sure you are prepared to take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves and have strong control over your cash flow to ensure you avoid the potential threats. Look at prioritising your payments and be sure to have a suitable credit control system in place to guarantee your debtors pay on time. If your customers aren’t paying on time then stricter terms may be needed and if you think your suppliers could offer you a better deal then why not ask them for one? Taking control of both your debtors and your creditors, is a proven way of staying in control of your cash, so that your cash isn’t in control of you.

THE BEST OF LEISURE AND LIFESTYLE
Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hidden Jewels Burg has turned into a spa attraction thanks to the underground hot spring that has high levels of salts and minerals.
November 2010
Underneath the beautiful Spreewald in eastern Germany lies a hot spring with salt and minerals levels that rival the Dead Sea. This treasure has transformed the small town of Burg into a word of mouth spa getaway, reports Kimberley Bradley.

White Elephant to Urban Utopia In 2010 Brasilia celebrates 50 years of being the capital of Brazil. The young city was once a white elephant that was the brainchild of former president Juscelino Kubitschek. Designed by Lucio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer and built by Roberto Burle Marx, today it remains a bizarre Utopia able to surprise, confuse and fascinate in equal measure. With the beauty of its futuristic buildings, the harmony of its urban spaces and the creativity of its artists, Brasilia is still evolving constantly. Andrea Forlani investigates the past, present and future of a unique metropolis.

Sleep Less and You Will Eat More A study by the University of Chicago has shown that sleep-deprived people tend to feel hungrier than those who sleep for longer periods. The research, which randomly assigned dieters to different sleeping patterns, found that participants who were allowed only five and a half hours of sleep at night lost less fat than those who slept for eight and a half hours or more. Although the total amount of weight loss did not differ – both groups lost about three kilogrammes over two weeks. The study also found that participants who slept less felt hungrier than the others, and had higher levels of ghrelin, a hormone that increases appetite. “The bottom line is that if people are trying to diet and lose weight for health reasons, it makes sense to get a sufficient amount of sleep,” said Dr. Plamen D. Penev, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Chicago and the senior author of the study. “If they’re not getting enough sleep as they diet, they may have higher levels of hunger and be struggling to adhere to the regimen.” The small-scale study included 10 adults, who lived in a clinical research centre for weeks at a time so that their exercise, food consumption and sleeping schedules could be closely monitored.
