Two wonderful women, Barbara C. Unell and Judith Fertig, who understand personally the longing and challenge of getting "back in the swing" of things, put together a cookbook to help breast cancer survivors with the process of embracing life after treatment in order to find their new "normal." Their cookbook is The Back in the Swing Cookbook: Recipes for Eating and Living Well Every Day After Breast Cancer.
I had the pleasure of working with these women when we launched our healthy lifestyle tableware company, Livliga®, in Kansas City three years ago. One of the weekend-long events we had as part of the launch was a luncheon. The food was served on Livliga® dinnerware and the recipes came from the Back in the Swing Cookbook. Judith Fertig is the chef who designed the recipes to be healthy and with ingredients particularly supportive of the health of breast cancer survivors. The food served at the lunch from this cookbook was delicious and perhaps as important, visually appealing. I experienced first hand the benefits of this thoughtful cookbook.
|Livliga® dinnerware can make a recipe shine, by adding some extra visual appeal to healthy meals.
The core of the cookbook is its recipes. The recipes highlight ingredients that are proven to be good for our health, healing, our immune system and for preventing disease and the re-occurrence of disease. Although the focus is clearly for the breast cancer survivor the approach and recipes are relevant and good for us all.
There is a real flare to this cookbook. It entices us with internationally based recipes imbued with herbs and spices that wake up our senses (Asian Chicken Salad with Fresh Ginger Vinaigrette). Back in the Swing also takes classics and adds an upgrade of healthier ingredients that satisfy our taste buds while warming our hearts (Celebration Chocolate Cake includes a filling with pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg).
In this era when we are busy and find it hard to spend time in the kitchen, this cookbook makes it easy to cook. The recipes are made up of accessible ingredients and are simple to assemble. The best part is how the recipes taste and look. If you want to embrace a healthier lifestyle this cookbook is a great place to start.
My personally adage is: The greatest gift we can give ourselves and the ones we love is the gift of health. The Back in the Swing Cookbook is a perfect way to give this gift.

If a picture is worth a thousand words a video must be worth millions, so here is a three-and-a-half minute collection of clips I shot of our time in the Sacred Valley of Peru!
I had fun trying out a new handheld gimbal for my GoPro. It was fairly easy to get the hang of it and the gimbal helped me keep my footage steady and way smoother than without it, especially while walking. It even did a great job of steadying the footage while on a very bumpy bus ride up to Machu Picchu. I'm still learning some of the features, and if you make it to the end of the video you'll see what I mean. 😉 In all fairness, I only skimmed the user manual shortly before our trip and I should know better!

OK then, here we go (clicky for biggy) ...
(A) Printing and Sticking - Printouts Onto Card
(1) A stack of printouts (on cheap, Tesco, 75 gsm, copier paper), glued (Pritt Stick), onto 110 lbs/220 gsm smooth surface cartridge paper (i.e. our 'card' - although, almost any medium paper/card, around this 'grammage', is fine).
I am more than happy with the print quality, on this paper, but, you may wish to try more expensive, specialist, inkjet/extra-white versions.
The whole process can be seen in the video (and more text, to follow),
(2) Our first subject - a 6"x6" 'floor tile' printout, on paper, on card,
(3) Our second subject - a 3"x6" 'floor tile' printout, on paper, on card,
(4) A 'mounting template' printout, on paper, on 0.25"/5 mm foamcore ('display board'),
(5) A 'LinX tabs' printout, on paper, on 0.25"/5 mm foamcore ('display board').
Seems a bit complicated? Nope, plenty of WWG assistance available to help us ...

The Definitive Glue Thread, at WWG, collects the thoughts of many modellers and is recommended reading.
Of course, we do not need to go through the process of the TLX system, if we do not wish to ... the art work could be applied, permanently, to boards, etc, of the desired size (i.e. 'Speedmounting'). For this project, we will do it 'properly', so as to see what we may learn.
By-the-way, one reason why the time is ripe, is that my 'trusty' HP Deskjet F2180 gave up the ghost (more stepper motors and bits ;) ), so, I went and did what I always do. I opted for the cheapest 'name' '3-in-1' inkjet I could find, and, thanks to the wireless craze now being in full swing, I managed to get a nice Canon Pixma MP280 for £30.
Long-ago, I cracked how to refill these inkjets, and I do not really worry about ink costs. The provided reservoirs have only a small amount of ink, so, I was eager to see how the Canon would perform with my cheap refill inks, in comparison to the stock ink. Thus, I had to empty it - and I did !!!. I refilled it with my cheapo inks and all remains well in print quality - BUT.
Top Tip: learn how to refill your inkjet.
Some modellers like to print, directly, onto the cardstock, where their printer allows it. Personally, although it is a little more work, I prefer to use the method, above.
There are some reports, that laser, colour, printers, can sometimes create printouts that will crack and peel, when scoring and bending the cardstock. If you intend to try this method, check that your printing system avoids this problem.

Understanding the meaning behind popular Twitter hashtags can at times be tricky. There's acronyms, no spaces between the words and sometimes people don't even have the common decency to use casing.
Twitter is testing a new feature that could make things easier for those struggling to decipher the message behind trending tags, by spelling them out for some users of the iOS app.
The Wall Street Journal reports popular tags like #tbt and #smh are being explained as 'Throwback Thursday' and 'Shake My Head' when users click on them.
Likewise #OITNB appears as Orange is the New Black and #manutd is expanded to Manchester United, with Twitter giving users the opportunity to rate the interpretation for accuracy.
Small sample
It's not clear how wide the test is right now. It's common for Twitter to trial new features on a small percentage of its use rbase before rolling them out.
Sometimes they make it into the main app, sometimes they don't.
In this case a hashtag codebreaker would certainly be a welcome addition to the service.

Sunny Savage has been Maui's wild foods advocate for the last decade, hunting her way around the island and organizing events like beach foraging picnics and hikes. Savage also wrote the book Wild Food Plants of Hawaii. Now Savage has a new food truck, called Savage Kitchen, that she's passionate about, and the menu will focus on eating invasive species as gourmet nutritious dishes and drinks.
"I will never forget the first time I over-harvested wild plants," she says. "I was devastated. I was emotionally upset. It was a massive lesson to always take what I needed. When I came to Maui nine years ago, I got on all my plant websites and reached out to many people to figure out all of the foraging plants and medicines you can eat here. When you live on an island, over-harvesting wild plants is a big deal. We live in a small closed system–we can't really afford that. We are caretakers of this sacred aina. I had to get my groove on and settle in to what I could feel good about. So this whole invasive species thing is something I finally feel I can really get behind. We have invasive species that are directly on the front lines threatening some of the most unique eco systems on the planet. And we can eat them! Not all of them, but there are several that we can eat."
Savage has set up a Kickstarter that outlines her vision. She needs $30,000 to set up the business, and that includes an app for identifying foraging plants in the wild. The kickstarter has 11 days to go, and has raised a little over a third of what she needs. The kickstarter has lots of incentives and prizes for those that donate.
"I really want to focus on my top five plants," says Savage. "Spiny Amaranth, this is a global invasive. It's on every continent except for Antarctica. It's glyphosate-resistant. We don't want it around. It's spiny and it hurts. But it's also incredibly nutritious. The other one I want to focus on is haole koa. I have partnered up with Jaime from Maui Tempeh and we're going to make a haole koa tempeh. Third is the rubus, thimble berries and Indian black berries. These make the brambles you can't get through. We are going to use these leaves to make tea and eat the berry so the pigs can't spread this anymore. Wild ginger, the kahili ginger, grows at really high elevation and is wiping out native forests. In addition, I'm going to add other hedychium to the list. If you want the water to run mauka to makai, then we need to clean out our rivers. These invasive wild ginger are choking our rivers. So let's eat it. Let's use this medicine. It's right there! I can ferment, use the flowers. I can distill the rhizome and make a tonic."
She's still contemplating number five. It's between the Strawberry Guava and the Banana Poka.
Savage will be hosting a full moon Grand Finale potluck on March 12 at the Baldwin Beach pavilion at 6pm. Bring a locally sourced labeled potluck dish and a musical instrument or games for the kids. For more on her Kickstarter and upcoming events, go to Sunnysavage.com.

Citizens for Global Solutions Applauds President on Atrocity Prevention
Citizens for Global Solutions
23 April 2012
(…) Citizens for Global Solutions has long championed the United States developing a strategy for genocide prevention. Don Kraus, CEO of Citizens for Global Solutions said, "President Obama's address today was the most substantive speech I have ever heard a President give on genocide prevention. Citizens for Global Solutions applauds the administration's creation of an Interagency Atrocities Prevention Board and the other very significant measures taken today. Together, this represents a historic milestone in developing a comprehensive policy framework to prevent future atrocities."
However, more action is needed to be taken in order to ensure the Board's effectiveness. Kraus noted, "It is crucial that the Atrocities Prevention Board engages with Congress in its development, that flexible funding is explored to match complicated crises with the need for timely response, and that civilian society is consulted in conflict assessment and policy planning."

MyoSure® Fibroid and Polyps Removal
is a simple procedure that eliminates intrauterine tissue such as fibroids and polyps without having to remove or even cut the uterus. Your doctor inserts an instrument into the uterus through the vagina to take out the fibroid. Once the fibroid has been removed, your period should go back to normal. The MyoSure procedure is the ideal treatment option if you are looking to reduce your heavy bleeding caused by polyps or fibroids, while retaining a fully functional uterus.
What are uterine fibroids?
Fibroids are non-cancerous tissue growths in the muscle walls of the uterus. Another medical term for fibroids is "leiomyoma" or just "myoma." Fibroids can grow as a single mass, or there can be multiple fibroids in the uterus. They can be as small as an apple seed or as big as a grapefruit.
There are several different fibroid types, with different names depending on where they grow on the uterus. Fibroids can grow:
- On a stalk either inside or outside the uterus – pedunculated fibroid.
- Just below the lining of the uterus – submucosal fibroids.
- In the middle of the uterine wall – intramural fibroids.
- Under the outer covering of the uterus – subserousal fibroids.
What are Uterine Polyps?
Uterine polyps are protrusions of tissue that grow on the uterine lining (endometrium). Polyps form when the same kind of cells as the lining itself start growing abnormally. They can range in size from a few centimeters (the size of a small seed) up to the size of a golf ball. Over time, they can become fragile and bleed.
If you have fibroids or polyps that are located inside your uterus (submucous fibroids or endometrial polyps), the MyoSure procedure is a safe treatment option. Your doctor will be able to determine the treatment option that best matches your specific condition.

"Candy Jam" is a two-week game jam being held to protest King's recent trademarking of the word "candy."
You have no doubt heard by now that King, the maker of the mega-hit Candy Crush Saga, has somehow managed to successfully trademark the word "candy" and is now dropping the hammer on other mobile gamer makers who have used it in their titles. This, rather predictably, has not gone over especially well with gamers, but it seems that at least a few indie developers aren't too happy with the situation either.
In response, indie game makers Cariboo and uuav have put together "Candy Jam," which gives interested developers until February 3 to "make a game involving candies." That's pretty much it for the rules, although entrants are encouraged to "consider using the word 'candy' several times, also 'scroll,' 'memory,' 'saga' and 'apple' might give bonus points."
As for the point of the whole thing, that too is pretty straightforward. "Because trademarking common names is ridiculous and because it gives us an occasion to make another game jam," the Candy Jam website explains.
"While there seems to be some kind of consensus about the need for a company to protect blatant ripoffs of game names and/or game aspects, I think that the fact that it was done with so little finesse is what gathered people in [opposition]," Candy Jam co-founder Laurent Raymond said. "That plus probably the irony of a company talking about intellectual property while being an nth rehash of Bejeweled."
Laurent said he hasn't heard from King about the Candy Jam, and that he doesn't expect that the studio will care about it one way or the other. And while he thinks that the jam is a worthwhile effort, he doesn't hold out much hope that it will change anything in the long run.
"I like that it shows that game developers are ready to mock them a little and that ethics matters a lot. They could have handled the issue so much differently," he said. "[But] I have little ambition about the whole thing. We're going to enjoy coding silly things, mock them, change a few minds and then everyone will forget the event as soon as it ends. I wish it would mean something but this is not the first time that it's happened, and most of the time it's handled by just letting the rage pass. We'll just add fun to that rage for once."
King recently stated in its defense that it's not looking to steal everyone's candy, just those who take advantage of the vagaries of the App Store. The icon for the ridiculously-named Candy Casino Slots - Jewel Craze Connect: Big Blast Mania Land, for instance, has only the words "Candy Slots" on its App Store icon, while the title itself appears designed solely to boost search rankings, lending some credence to King's claim.
Candy Jam is live now and runs until February 3. To get in on the action, head over to TheCandyJam.com.
UPDATE: In his original email, Candy Jam founder Laurent Raymond said, "I think that the fact that it was done with so little finesse is what gathered people in [opposition]. That plus probably the irony of a company talking about copyrights while being an nth rehash of Bejeweled." He has since contacted us to note that he was in fact referring to intellectual property.
"I obviously believe in being right and the fact I'm representing the Candy Jam makes [the misstatement] even more unfortunate," Raymond said. "Hopefully it doesn't change my message because I'm trying to make a point about ethics and not any particular technical flaw in the law."
We have updated the statement accordingly.

The Aesthetics of Authenticity in the Modern Chain Pub
Posted by Deborah Toner in Consuming Authenticities on February 13, 2015
In the last post, I referred to the undercurrents of authenticity running through an edited volume I've been working on, Biographies of Drink. To mark the publication of this volume, I thought it would be good to reflect on the chapter that tackles the problem of authenticity head-on, as a means of analysing the design […]

I've been saving all the wood flour from my various wood projects, I now have a range from mahogany, purple heart, bloodwood, padauk, teak, maple, walnut, basswood, yellow heart, and a couple of others. I can blend anything, but it always ends up slightly dark. I guess I need to adjust my technique a bit.

It became known in the morning on Wednesday criminal case was brought that against the coordinator of "The Left Front". It was declared by the official representative of Investigatory committee of Russia Vladimir Markin. Case was initiated after check of facts stated in the film of NTV 'Anatomy of Protest – 2", according to part 1, art. 30 "Preparation for a crime and attempt to commit a crime" and part 1, art. 212 "Mass riots". Punishment under these articles – from four to ten years of imprisonment.
The same morning, on October 17 inspectors carried out a search in Sergey Udaltsov's apartment, in the apartment of his parents and also in the apartments of two other persons involved in case – Konstantin Lebedev and Leonid Razvozzhayev.
When the search was over fighters of the special troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs took oppositionist Sergey Udaltsov out from the apartment and brought him to Investigatory Committee for questioning.
According to the version of the investigation, persons involved in business on June, 2012 had meeting with the chairman of parliamentary Defense and Security Committee of Georgia Givi Targamadze and the consul of Georgia in Moldova Mikhail Iashvili in Minsk. The meeting was photographed by the hidden camera and shown in "Anatomy of Protest – 2". According to the creator of the film, runaway oligarch and ex-president of "Bank of Moscow" Andrey Borodin expressed readiness to allocate large sum of money to support opposition in the Russian Federation. Givi Targamadze acted as intermediary in organization of financing channel and Udaltsov and nationalists should be performers of the plan on activization of protest in Russia.
According to Markin, as phonoscopic expertise established that "a voice, including the one in the plots shot by hidden surveillance camera in film "Anatomy of Protest – 2", belongs to Udaltsov and the meeting which fragments are shown in the film occurred in the second half of June, 2012 in premises in the capital of Republic of Belarus – Minsk".
Inspectors promise to check also information on that participants of the meeting could have prepared acts of terrorism in Russia: "In case this information finds confirmation, it will be given corresponding legal assessment and legal qualification of actions of S. Udaltsov and his interlocutors including citizens of Georgia", – Markin declared.
It's symptomatically that criminal case against Udaltsov was brought right after carrying out of uniform day of voting on October, 14 (the film "Anatomy of Protest – 2", let me remind you, was shown on October, 5). Probably, satisfactory results which "United Russia" showed on elections convinced the authorities that the protest exhausted and now it's high time to end up with opposition. Whether it means that Putin's – softened – variant of 1937 will gradually start developing before our eyes?
"From the legal point of view criminal case has no judicial prospect", – the director of Institute of Problems of Globalization Mikhail Delyagin is sure.
– Strictly speaking, there's even no fact of mass riots in the case and that were police officers who acted illegally, – Delyagin speaks. – If to return to events on May, 6, Udaltsov really started putting demonstrators on earth before cordon of OMON and it was utter nonsense from the point of view of common sense. Other thing is absolutely clear: a person sitting on the earth physically can't effectively attack the OMON fighter. Besides, till 19.30 – official time of termination of a meeting – its participants could do everything they want if only these actions don't offend public moral. It is clear that the person sitting on the earth causes questions, but moral isn't offended here in any way.
There is still one moment. Initiation of legal proceedings on the basis of video filming by hidden camera is doomed to failure in advance. The shots shown in "Anatomy of Protest – 2", most likely, are made without permission of a court. I draw such conclusion because hidden shooting made lawfully usually is more qualitative. If so – shooting of NTV is not adequate proof which the court has the right to consider.
All this - in theory. In practice, our courts – Basmanny and Hamovnichesky – can pass practically every decision on a basis of "flash right".
Nevertheless, I thing that now the power tries not to imprison Sergey Udaltsov, but to intimidate ordinary participants of the protest. We are as though shown: we will leave free known oppositionists, people with names, we will imprison simple soldiers. At that the more known is the oppositionist, the bigger safety he has. Look: there are no claims to Alexey Navalny, they even returned confiscated money to Ksenia Sobchak that happens very rare in practice of law enforcement agencies … That fact that representatives of law-enforcement system seemingly studied from all Russian history only 1937 fuels the flame…
The mode crossed red line
Criminal case against Sergey Udaltsov and other "heroes" of the propaganda film of NTV means that the mode crossed the red line separating system which breaks democratic principles from repressive system of totalitarian type. Absurdity of charges worthy Stalin's indicative processes is demonstration of gravity of intentions of the Russian authorities to bring all power of police prosecutions down on peace opposition.
We responsibly declare that even if authenticity of the words of the Russian participants of the meeting shown in the film "Anatomy of Protest -2" will be confirmed, there are no grounds for their criminal prosecution.
We consider that those who adjoin today slander campaign on opposition should be shameful – they help to pursue obviously innocent people.
In spite of the fact that the highest political character of the order for pseudo-legal prosecution of opposition is obvious to all, we declare that management of the Investigatory Committee headed by Bastrykin bears personal responsibility for fabrication of criminal cases. Unfortunately, today Alexander Ivanovich starts to play in domestic justice the same role as notoriously famous Andrey Yanuaryevich Vyshinsky.
Fabrication of prosecutions of opposition creates irreversible situation, dangerously lifts confrontation degree in society.
We demand immediate release of political prisoners, termination of forged prosecution of opposition and Bastrykin's resignation!
We call parliamentary and extra parliamentary opposition, all civil society in common to oppose persecutions of activists of the protest movement.

Praise for state Rep. John Hetherington
To the Editor:
With the close of our 2012 regular legislative session this week comes the close of John Hetherington's decade of public service representing the 125th Assembly district in the Connecticut House of Representatives.
I have had the great pleasure of serving with John in the House, where he set the standard for diligence, legislative acuity, and gentlemanly conduct. While Wilton and New Canaan have benefited from John's service, so has the entire state of Connecticut.
During his time in the General Assembly, John served as Ranking Member of both the Judiciary Committee and the Government Administration and Elections Committee.
His extensive knowledge of the law and his exceptionally clear thinking made him a respected advisor for legislators on both sides of the aisle and a highly effective leader on his committees.
Yet John brought to the House so much more than his extraordinary legislative capabilities -- intellect without pedantry, principles without partisanship, wit without sarcasm, elegance without pretention.
In a realm where the public faces of politicians often hide their real personalities and feelings, John has never shown the least hint of insincerity.
In all his dealings, his true character shines through.
He is a man of integrity, steadfast loyalty, conscience, decency, and genuine kindness. In retiring from the General Assembly, he leaves behind a fine example for generations of legislators to come.
We owe John Hetherington a great debt of thanks. I know that he will continue to be an active member of our communities, where he is an admired and respected resource for ideas and good counsel.
While I will miss John as a colleague, I feel fortunate beyond measure to have served with him in the House, and I look forward to many years of continuing friendship.
Gail Lavielle
State Representative, 143rd district
(Note: I represent Wilton, Norwalk, and Westport. John represented Wilton and New Canaan in the 125th district for 10 years. We shared Wilton.)

I've just finished my fifth sketchbook. This time last year, I realised that even though I had been an artist for as long as I could remember, I had never properly owned a sketchbook – I was a hardcore perfectionist back then, so if I messed up a drawing in my sketchbook I'd tear the page off and eventually gave up with the idea of owning a sketchbook.
I was silly, wasn't I? Sketchbook is meant to be a space for you to practise and experiment . I can't remember what triggered it but I decided to let it go and made a pact with myself, that I'd continually own a sketchbook and draw away, no matter what is the outcome. At the beginning, it wasn't an easy trip – I was itching to tear off some of the pages I didn't like, but by Christmas it wasn't difficult anymore.
However, looking back at all my sketchbooks I've owned, I would say I am a 'safe' sketch-er. I occasionally drew with pencil and then fine liner over the top so I have a neater drawing in the end. I used fine liner 99% of the time. I stuck with subjects I usually draw. Basically, I didn't go wild in these pages.
So, I am making another goal within my intention to own sketchbooks –
Be a wild sketch-er!

Have Questions?
Contact a Yokogawa Expert to learn how we can help you solve your challenges.
By Bob Gill' ARC Advisory Group
Synaptic Business Automation, Co-innovation, Yokogawa
Industrial manufacturers operate in an increasingly complex and dynamic environment. This environment is characterized by intensified global competition, cost pressures, environmental compliance mandates, widening safety legislation, and ongoing cybersecurity threats. At the same time, the availability of a new set of predominantly IT-based technologies for plant operations creates opportunities for manufacturers to meet these challenges while achieving operational excellence; strengthening supply chain collaboration; and creating new, more profitable business models.
Against this backdrop, ARC Advisory Group met with senior Yokogawa executives at the recent Yokogawa Users Conference 2018, Asia Pacific, in Bandung, Indonesia, to discuss Synaptic Business Automation, the company's new guiding concept for its Industrial Automation & Control business. Synaptic Business Automation is the successor to Yokogawa's well-known VigilantPlant concept.
Due to its importance to the company, Synaptic Business Automation was the official theme of the Users Conference, where Yokogawa president and CEO, Takashi Nishijima, formally introduced the concept. Further presentations provided details on how Synaptic Business Automation supports coinnovation with customers, helps connect organizations and supply chains, and provides expert domain knowledge. With Synaptic Business Automation, Yokogawa is widening its scope from plant process automation to business process automation and, in so doing, aims to create sustainable value for customers.
Synaptic Business Automation is Yokogawa's new concept for its Industrial Automation & Control Business. "Synaptic" (from biological synapses) represents timely and seamless sharing of information, while "Business Automation" represents automation moving beyond the plant process control level to create continuous business value for customers.
Unveiled back in 2005, VigilantPlant laid down a path toward operational excellence in the then-current context of Yokogawa's offerings and capabilities. In addition to the company's well-established control system and field instrumentation, VigilantPlant encompassed new functions, including process safety, alarm management, asset management, production management, and optimization.
The company's capabilities and the challenges its customers face have both evolved considerably since VigilantPlant was introduced more than a decade ago. This called for the company to formulate a new concept to better represent
Yokogawa's Industrial Automation & Control business' approach to understanding and meeting current and future process industry needs and challenges.
Synaptic Business Automation Launch at Yokogawa Users Conference, Asia Pacific, in February
Enter Synaptic Business Automation. To understand this new concept, it's best to break it down to its constituents. "Synaptic" relates to the biological structure that permits a neuron (nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to other neurons. In an industrial context, Synaptic denotes the seamless communication and sharing of data and information between relevant entities such as the manufacturing plant, the supply chain, and the business enterprise to create sustainable value. "Business Automation" denotes Yokogawa's new focus that extends beyond automating plant processes to considering a customer's entire business.
Synaptic Business Automation should be viewed in the context of Process Co-innovation, Yokogawa's corporate vision first announced in 2015 and an integral part of the company's Transformation 2017 business plan. The company opened its Singapore Co-innovation Centre in 2016 to jointly develop new industry solutions with selected clients and technology partners. This continues to be an important node in the Yokogawa R&D network.
For industrial companies, navigating this new terrain requires an understanding of a myriad of new technologies, such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and Industrial IoT, as well as drivers like increased global competition and fluctuating energy prices, while meeting critical cybersecurity, plant safety, and sustainability requirements.
Modern Business Pressures Drive Manufacturers to Become Integrated, Real-time Enterprises
For example, the downturn the oil & gas industry experienced in the middle of this decade severely constrained capital expenditures across many process industries, placing new emphasis on improving plant operational efficiency by maximizing the availability and performance of the existing assets.
This led to interest in more sophisticated plant asset management approaches, such as predictive and prescriptive maintenance approaches, often using Industrial IoT technologies.
Connecting plant assets to external parties, such as equipment manufacturers, service providers, and automation suppliers, provides a foundation for new business and service models. Remote pump diagnostics and "compressed-air-as-a-service" are two examples of new business models enabled by Industrial IoT.
We've also seen increasing proliferation of information technology (IT) in industrial plants, a trend that was just in its infancy back in 2005. Once considered only for the enterprise level, technologies such as cloud computing, data analytics, mobile devices, web user interfaces, SQL databases, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi networks are now being applied at the shop floor level
along with operational technologies (OT) like sensors, instrumentation, drives, valves, and control systems to increase plant efficiency, productivity, and performance.
Increasing Presence and Influence of IT at the Plant Level
This OT-IT convergence, as it has come to be known, is increasing the presence of IT companies in the previously closed and esoteric world of the
industrial plant. The automation suppliers that have long dominated this domain now find it beneficial to build new relationships with IT companies to more easily access the relevant technologies and tap into expertise. These relationships have been in forms such as technology licensing, alliances, and equity investments, all the way to outright acquisitions.
With Synaptic Business Automation, Yokogawa aims to create sustainable value for industrial customers and help them realize profitable and sustainable growth. There are three aspects to this:
Resilient Operation – improving clients' operational resilience against heightened business risks emanating from factors such as increasing cybersecurity threats, regulatory compliance mandates, and more strenuous plant and personnel safety requirements.
Optimized Production – reframing the (lengthy) operational phase of the plant as something much more than an afterthought to the capital construction phase and, accordingly, managing operational expenditures through initiatives such as Industrial IoT connections to critical plant assets.
Business Innovation – leveraging relevant technologies and domain expertise to co-create new business models with customers and partners and introduce environmentally friendly manufacturing practices that are essential for a sustainable society.
While strong customer relationships are an acknowledged enabler of business success, with Synaptic Business Automation, Yokogawa looks to take these relationships to even deeper levels through co-innovation activities.
As Dr. Tsuyoshi (Ted) Abe, vice president and head of Marketing Headquarters,explained to ARC: "Traditionally, technology companies engage with customers to assess their needs and then proceed to develop products. But this is an old model. In today's world, it is not enough to listen to customers and understand their pain points. Instead, you must develop products and services together with customers and technology partners."
Yokogawa's vigorous acquisition activities in 2016 greatly enhanced its ability to execute Synaptic Business Automation. These brought in industrial software technology and consulting expertise in the forms of Industrial Evolution(cloud-based, plant data sharing-as-a-service), KBC AdvancedTechnologies (oil & gas consulting services and process simulation technologies),and Soteica Visual MESA (energy management and optimization solutions).
Both Industrial Evolution (now known as Industrial Knowledge) and SoteicaVisual Mesa have been integrated into KBC Advanced Technologies which,while firmly a part of Yokogawa, continues to operate under the KBC brand.
Significantly, for the Synaptic Business Automation keynote presentation at the Yokogawa Users Conference, KBC's Oscar Santollani, senior vice president,Visual MESA Software Business, shared the stage with Yokogawa'sShigeyoshi Uehara, vice president and head of IA Products and Service Business.
Recent Acquisitions Increase Yokogawa's Capabilities to Deliver on the Promise of the Synaptic Business Automation Concept
Mr. Uehara outlined Synaptic Business Automation and framed the concept in the context of Yokogawa's Enterprise Automation Architecture that convergesOT with IT. He also discussed the company's domain knowledge,consulting capabilities provided via KBC, cybersecurity services, and unique plant sensing capabilities, such as those provided by the company's new wireless Sushi Sensor. Mr. Santollani, in turn, discussed how the KBC Co-Pilot approach involving Visual MESA Energy Real-Time Optimizer (VMERTO),the Petro-SIM simulation tool, and expert consulting can help customers meet their sustainability-related challenges to optimize energy use and reduce emissions.
Synaptic Business Automation represents a timely refresh for Yokogawa'sIndustrial Automation & Control Business. The focus on automating customers'business processes, rather than just internal plant processes,acknowledges that inefficiencies often cross organizational boundaries or can even extend out to the supply chain. While Yokogawa has always been a customer-centric company, the co-innovation aspect of Synaptic BusinessAutomation suggests an even deeper level of collaboration with both customers and technology partners. And with KBC Advanced Technologies, Yokogawa has access to proven software solutions and recognized process industry consulting expertise based on deep domain knowledge.
The new focus on co-innovating solutions recognizes today's reality that no one company has all the necessary technology and/or expertise to solve customer problems, and that collaboration between companies is increasingly required to deliver effective solutions in an increasingly complex process manufacturing environment.
Synaptic Business Automation Combines OT, IT, Services, Collaboration, and Domain Expertise
Like VigilantPlant, rather than just a slogan, Synaptic Business Automation represents a long-term, strategic approach for the Yokogawa Industrial Automation& Control business. As such, it will be important for the company to ensure that key stakeholders – notably its own staff − are well versed in the intention and ideals of this new concept. That will help enable SynapticBusiness Automation to enter and become part of the industry lexicon in much the same way as VigilantPlant did for well over a decade.

Woman 'stabs man, then eats dinner'
A WOMAN accused of stabbing her estranged partner in the chest allegedly put the knife in the sink and continued to eat her dinner as he bled out onto the street.
The 40-year-old Torquay woman fronted the Hervey Bay Magistrates Court yesterday charged with grievous bodily harm.
Her alleged victim was recovering from heart surgery in a Brisbane hospital where he remains in a critical condition.
The court heard the woman and man had an altercation in her apartment about 7.30pm Sunday.
Police prosecutor Jeanette Grigoris said had it not been for a coincidental patrol of the area which resulted in police finding the wounded man on the side of the road and the prompt arrival of an ambulance, the woman would have "been facing far more serious charges".
She submitted the woman should be remanded in custody.
Defence lawyer Justin Geldard said the woman and man had a long history of domestic violence against each other.
He said his client told him the man had repeatedly closed the door on her leg before she held a knife out and warned that if he came any closer she would stab him.
He said the woman's version was that the man then lunged forward, resulting in the injury.
He also said the woman had a 16-year-old boy to look after and was not a risk to the general public.
Magistrate Graham Hillan said he was concerned about a number of submissions in the prosecution's objection to bail including the accusation that following the altercation, the woman "placed the knife in the sink and continued to eat your meal".
He said he was also concerned that the woman had made no apparent attempt to arrange for the complainant to receive medical attention.
But he accepted the woman was unlikely to re-offend and released her on strict bail conditions.
She will re-appear on May 5.
Detective Senior Constable Peter Edwards said the man was "very lucky to be alive".
He said police were only alerted to the man's injuries when a concerned member of the public told officers in a patrol car they had seen a man stumbling down the street around the corner with blood on his chest.
He said when police found the man he was unconscious and losing blood on the side of the road.
Following conversations with nursing staff in Brisbane Sen Const Edwards understood the knife had pierced a sack protecting the victim's heart.
He said the man had undergone surgery and been placed into an induced coma.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Highlights magazine, the most widely read general-interest children's magazine in the United States, has announced the results of its annual opinion poll of American kids. The Highlights 2012 State of the Kid (SOTK) survey gives kids a national platform to share their thoughts, concerns and experiences related to major issues that are on the minds of parents nationwide.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121009/CL87104 )
The 2012 survey shares kids' views on reading, inclusion and the presidency. The results were announced at the COSI Center of Science and Industry in Columbus, Ohio, on October 9.
What Do Kids Want in a President? Honesty!
When kids were asked to select a quality they thought was most important in a president, they had an overwhelming top answer—honesty. Choosing from a list of options including intelligence, kindness, experience and courage, honesty won hands down. Kids (42.5%) resoundingly said that honesty was the most important quality for a president, nearly twice as many as selected the next most popular attribute, kindness. And politicians, take note: these future voters don't care much about your resumes—experience as a desired trait came in last, with only 8.2% of respondents choosing it.
What Tops Kids' Political Agendas?
As parents across the country worry about economic security, it is no surprise that this concern is on the minds of kids, as well. Many kids (15.7%) reported that their first action as president would be to do something about the economy, money or taxes. Boys were by far the most likely to try to fix the economy; girls were more likely to say they would help people in need. Exploring the White House was also a somewhat popular choice, with a number of children specifically mentioning trying out the in-house bowling alley.
Will Things Get Better?
Despite the fact that kids are very aware of the economic and social challenges the country faces, the vast majority (70.5%) of kids believe in the ability of government leaders to tackle most of the country's problems. Younger children were much more likely (81.1%) to believe in our leaders' problem-solving abilities than the older children (62.0%).
Highlights magazine receives more than 55,000 letters and emails annually from kids—from drawings and poems to letters asking for advice. Children often write to express their concerns about friendships, siblings, their home life, money, disasters in the news and other anxieties. Highlights editors read and respond to each letter, and have done so for 65 years. Highlights reaches the homes of more than two million children each month.
"One of the most powerful things we can do for children is to really listen to them," said Christine French Cully, editor in chief of Highlights magazine. "Learning their perspective is essential to finding the best ways to serve them. It helps us as we strive to help them grow to be their best selves—curious, confident, creative and caring."
Over the last four years, Highlights SOTK survey has asked kids many questions about themselves and their preferences, worries and aspirations.
"Our hope is that adding kids' voices to the conversation on these topics will enrich and deepen the dialogue, and help all of us who work to make children's lives better," said Cully.
Kids' verbatim responses, additional data and what they told Highlights about the presidency, reading and inclusiveness can be found at Highlights.com.
Highlights magazine produced a bind-in survey for subscribers of the magazine to remove, complete and mail in. The survey was also distributed to American teachers via mail. With the intention to collect 1,000 responses, Highlights received 1,265 completed surveys from readers. A total of 1,265 completed surveys gives a statistical confidence level of 99% +/- 3.6%, ideal for quantitative purposes. Data was collected in the spring of 2012.

December 10, 2012
So… our last day in Halifax! So sad that time has gone by so quickly!
Michael and I spent the morning running errands in terrible weather but also had the chance to relax before our lunch date.
We had reservations for 1pm at Upstairs at Salty's. Salty's is a 2 level restaurant, where downstairs is casual and upstairs is more formal.
Michael had specifically asked for window seats, which was a treat! It's too bad the weather wasn't nicer but it's the company that matters right? 😉 You look tired!
We were the only diners (Again! It seems to happen to us quite a bit) so service couldn't have been any better.
Apparently, Upstairs at Salty's uses the same lunch menu as their downstairs restaurant, which was fine with us.
We started with a glass of white before making our decisions.
Love good bread at a restaurant. Our food came quite quickly, which is always a treat.
Mike ordered the Maple Ginger Salmon ($17.95)
(roasted fillet of salmon with Nova Scotia maple syrup & ginger glaze, mashed potato, and seasonal vegetable)
Seasonal vegetable was indeed singular! Haha. Mike said his dish was tasty, but personally, I think his dish was lacking. Come on… you couldn't add in some other veggies? And a little bit of effort on plating would have made such a difference. I also really don't know what the sprig of parsley is trying to achieve…
I got the Beer Battered Shrimp ($15.95)
(served with fries, lemon mayo, and coleslaw) – I substituted sweet potato fries with curry mayonnaise (+$2)
The shrimp was good but the best part of my dish were those sweet potato fries. I will gladly exchange anything for those fries any day. So nice and crispy on the outside and light on the inside. However, the plating was once again disappointing. This is a nice restaurant… Why are my sauces coming out in plastic containers? You were able to get my coleslaw into a little dish, couldn't you go all the way with the sauces?
Overall, we had a good time, especially with the restaurant to ourselves. The service was great and I wish the sky cleared so we could enjoy the view even more but perhaps next time.
Next time you say? Well the food was pricey… tasted good but nothing great. However, the good service and location warrants another visit – but we'll try dinner next time, that menu is much more enticing.

German progressive death metal titans OBSCURA have announced a special 10th-anniversary show this December in Landshut, Germany. This one-night-only event will take place on December 15th at Alte Kaserne with special guests DARK FORTRESS, HOKUM and ILLEGIMITATION, an incarnation of the band's original lineup, who will play their first demo in its entirety.
Commented OBSCURA guitarist/vocalist Steffen Kummerer: "After years of recording, touring and building up a loyal fanbase around the world we invite all of our friends and fans to our 10-year-anniversary show in Landshut, Germany. We celebrate the end of the 'Omnivium' world tour in the same city where it started early 2011.
"To make this event something special, we reformed the original lineup of OBSCURA for a short set, playing the full 'Illegimitation' demo as a whole.
"While DARK FORTRESS and HOKUM share a long history of links with OBSCURA, it seems almost self-evident to have both booked for '10 Years Obscura - A Decade Of Progressive Death Metal'. Let's make this a great evening for everyone."
"Omnivium" sold around 2,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 11 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

Pep Guardiola Says Manchester City Can't Afford To Compete In Four Competitions
Posted by Jordan Clarke | Published on 28/01/2018
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has rubbished the idea of winning four trophies this season because the club can't afford to compete in each competition.
City, who are 12 points clear at the top of the Premier League, remain in the FA Cup, Champions League and also reached the Carabao Cup final where they will face Arsenal.
However, the Spaniard says the Citizens' squad depth isn't good enough to win all four competitions, insisting that requires spending even beyond City's financial power.
Before Wednesday's deadline, highly-rated defender Aymeric Laporte is set to arrive at the Etihad from Athletic Bilbao after having his £60 million buy-out clause activated. Though Guardiola believes it's still not enough.
Speaking at his press conference, Guardiola said: "When you are in four competitions and fighting to be there, sometimes you have to be lucky in terms of injuries or have 22 top players."
"To have 22 players, you need money we do not have. To compete at a high level you need 22 top players. Today, 22 top players is so expensive. You cannot buy. Even City. There are salaries we cannot pay and there are transfers we cannot pay."
