SAN DIEGO, CA, March 18, 2011 (Press-News.org) Marking 30 years of business, 2011 is a milestone year for Remkor Technologies, a family-run business established in Johannesburg in 1981. Over the years the company has diversified its broad product range, to include component production, telecommunication manufacturing, appliance development and sheet metal production. In 2011, the telecommunication and sheet metal sectors are driving the company forward and have become its core focus.
The company operates from three different plants across South Africa. The first plant deals with the manufacturing side of the business; the second plant deals with painting and coating and the third plant deals with product assembly and distribution. The company operates a lean management structure and at each plant all the employees report to one person, who in turn, reports directly to senior management. This has enabled the company to develop quickly and from the grass roots up.
Remkor has a diverse infrastructure which ultimately means it can offer its customers all the services they need under one roof. As Rafaela La Monica, Managing Director at Remkor explains, "We have a diverse infrastructure, so we can offer turnkey solutions to a lot of our customers. We can take our clients from consultancy right through to delivering the finished product without having to outsource any stage of the process."
Remkor can even distribute the goods for its clients, and this is true of both low and high volume orders. "By providing a complete service we have a unique position in the market sector. Customers continue to work with us because we are extremely dedicated to delivering a finished product to an extremely high standard; we are very proud of what we do and as a result we have been given some very high profile jobs," says La Monica.

Tai chi beats back depression in the elderly, study shows
2011-03-18
The numbers are, well, depressing: More than 2 million people age 65 and older suffer from depression, including 50 percent of those living in nursing homes. The suicide rate among white men over 85 is the highest in the country — six times the national rate.
And we're not getting any younger. In the next 35 years, the number of Americans over 65 will double and the number of those over 85 will triple.
So the question becomes, how to help elderly depressed individuals?
Researchers at UCLA turned to a gentle, Westernized version of tai chi chih, a 2,000-year-old ...

Dine or dash? Genes help decide when to look for new food
2011-03-18
For worms, choosing when to search for a new dinner spot depends on many factors, both internal and external: how hungry they are, for example, how much oxygen is in the air, and how many other worms are around. A new study demonstrates this all-important decision is also influenced by the worm's genetic make-up.
In the simple Caenorhabditis elegans nematode, the researchers found that natural variations in several genes influence how quickly a worm will leave a lawn of bacteria on which it's feeding. One of the genes, called tyra-3, produces a receptor activated by adrenaline—a ...
Rare Andean cat no longer exclusive to the Andes
2011-03-18
Once thought to exclusively inhabit its namesake mountain range, the threatened Andean cat—a house cat-sized feline that resembles a small snow leopard in both appearance and habitat—also frequents the Patagonian steppe at much lower elevations, according to a new study published by the Wildlife Conservation Society and partners.
The finding represents a range extension for the Andean cat, which normally occurs at altitudes above 3,000 meters (approximately 9,800 feet). The new survey presents evidence of the cats occurring at elevations as low as 650 meters (approximately ...
Paleontologists audition modern examples of ancient behavior
2011-03-18
Paleontologists agree that it's difficult to observe behavior in fossil specimens that are dead – even extinct – and petrified. One method is to find a modern, living, species that has some similarities to the ancient animal.
That's the strategy adopted by David L. Meyer, University of Cincinnati professor of geology and colleagues as they study a group of ancient shellfish known as brachiopods. Although they resemble clams or other shelled mollusks, brachiopods are more closely related to marine worms. Relatively rare today, brachiopods were a dominant species in Paleozoic ...
