Large energy guzzlers in the industry sector face mandatory energy management requirements with effect from April 22.
As part of a national effort to improve energy efficiency, companies who use more than 54 terajoules of energy annually in at least two out of the three preceding years will have to appoint energy managers, monitor and report energy usage, and submit energy efficiency improvement plans to the National Environment Agency (NEA).
Companies in manufacturing; electricity, gas and air-conditioning supply; and water supply, sewerage, and waste management are affected. The industry sector accounts for more than half of Singapore's energy demand, reported the NEA. It added that the new measures affect about 170 companies operating around 200 sites consuming large amounts of energy.
The Energy Conservation Bill was passed in parliament last April, to ensure that large energy users apply the same rigour and best practices to energy management as they do to, for example, labour and capital. The NEA has set up a one-stop centre to assist affected companies with complying with the new regulations. Companies can contact the centre at email@example.com

Last Friday on Al Jazeera's global talk show 'South 2 North', Redi Tlhabi discussed with three film directors about the art and war of Cinema Censorship in Africa.
It was after South Africa's Film and Production Board banned 'Of Good Report', the opening night movie at Durban International Film Festival.
The three film directors were director of 'Of Good Report' Jahmil Qubeka, Cameroon's Jean-Pierre Bekolo (Le President) and Angola's João Viana (The Battle of Tabata).

San Francisco archbishop rebuts Pelosi's argument on conscience
January 13, 2010
Archbishop George Niederauer of San Francisco has written that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who lives in his archdiocese, betrayed "some fundamental misconceptions about Catholic teaching on human freedom" in a December magazine interview. In a conversation with Newsweek last month, Pelosi had said that her support for legal abortion reflects her belief in human freedom. Her archbishop, responding in a column for the San Francisco archdiocesan newspaper, noted that "human freedom does not legitimate bad moral choices, nor does it justify a stance that all moral choices are good if they are free."
"These misconceptions are widespread both within the Catholic community and beyond," Archbishop Niederauer wrote. While acknowledging that every moral actor must follow his conscience, the archbishop added that there is also an obligation to inform one's conscience, and for Catholics that obligation implies learning from the teachings of the Church.
"While we deeply respect the freedom of our fellow citizens, we nevertheless are profoundly convinced that free will cannot be cited as justification for society to allow moral choices that strike at the most fundamental rights of others," the archbishop wrote. "Such a choice is abortion, which constitutes the taking of innocent human life, and cannot be justified by any Catholic notion of freedom."

At last, he speaks. But what about the pro abortion organizations the diocese supports through funding. Would have to search for the names. Maybe someone else knows.

I read that through twice, the second time trying to pretend in my mind that I was Nancy Pelosi. And I came away saying, "Precisely my point. I'm glad you agree with me so enthusiastically, Archbishop. Conscience is everything."

Do I Need Revision Hip Replacement?
The hip joint plays a vital role in supporting the structure and movement of the upper and lower body. Pain in this joint is not uncommon and often goes unnoticed until it begins to inhibit regular activity. When this happens, many people undergo hip replacement or modification surgery to restore optimal integrity within the joint. Initial hip surgery can significantly improve quality of life. However, the results of surgery may diminish over time. If pain recurs in the groin, buttocks, or hip area, there is reason to visit the idea of revision hip replacement.
Understandably, the question of whether or not a revision surgery is necessary is an important one. Here, we suggest some ways to determine the best path forward.
Are you a candidate for revision?
- Hip pain is caused by fracture, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, or avascular necrosis.
- Pain symptoms vary widely in frequency and consistency, time of day and physical triggers.
- Pain occurs while sleeping, lying down, or sitting, indicating the need for surgical intervention.
- Pain and inflammation inhibit daily activities or ability to work.
- Lifestyle changes and non-surgical treatments no longer improve comfort and range of motion.
The objective of any hip surgery is to significantly improve physical function and comfort. Before suggesting revision hip replacement, we conduct a thorough consultation and physical examination in order to confirm candidacy accurately. Consultation involves discussion of necessary compliance after surgery and the degree of disability that has occurred.
Revision hip replacement surgery is conducted to assist patients with an existing prosthesis to regain mobility. In this procedure, some of the components of the prosthetic ball and socket may be replaced, or the entire prosthesis may be exchanged for a new one. Additional considerations may be made for bone and soft tissue damage that may have resulted from wear and tear. In such instances, special implants can be inserted to compensate for structural changes.
Hartzband Center for Hip & Knee Replacement in Paramus, NJ offers professional services in a caring environment. We intend to help you get back on your feet and stay there. For more information on hip replacement and revision hip replacement, call (201) 291-4040.

This month's spotlight features a volunteer who came aptly qualified for our Cooking Matters program, which is a partnership between Central City Concern and the Oregon Food Bank that teaches clients the skills and knowledge required for healthy cooking and eating habits. Having previously volunteered with a different Cooking Matters session and given her experience in the health care industry, she couldn't have been a better fit to volunteer with the program! Linda Nguyen, who supervised Nickie in the program, said about her work, "The Cooking Matters team at Old Town Clinic was honored to have Nickie share her time and knowledge with our program. Nickie's kind, calm, and compassionate spirit helped create a friendly environment where our clients felt safe and supported throughout the 6-weeks program."
Read on to see why Nickie has continued to volunteer with the Cooking Matters program, and what was so special about the classes at CCC.
• • •
Peter: What is your name and volunteer position?
Nickie: My name is Nickie Dane and I am the Cooking Matters lead assistant.
P: And you had done the Cooking Matters program before coming to CCC, right?
N: Yes, I was a grocery store tour coordinator [with a Cooking Matters program] in North Carolina. People would be referred to this day of tours through the health department or WIC [the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children], and we'd put on like six in one day, so people would come in and go through the grocery store and get a "10 dollar challenge" where they got to practice buying things from the different food groups.
P: And how is this class different than the one you had done before?
N: It's different in that it's over a six-week period, while those other ones it was just an afternoon, so they come in and get an hour or two hour tour and that was it. With this there would be follow up and participants would come in and talk about the recipes and what they'd done at home that was a little healthier. It was exciting seeing people make the commitment and keep coming. There were a good eleven people who did the whole class. I just enjoyed people being excited about cooking and health.
"It was exciting seeing people make the commitment and keep coming.... I just enjoyed people being excited about cooking and health."
-Nickie, CCC Volunteer
P: What is it about Cooking Matters that is meaningful for you and kept you coming back to it?
N: I work in the health care industry and seeing the lack of information given to people by traditional primary care providers about what people can do to improve their health as far lifestyle and food choice goes has been a big driver. I think that prevention needs a little more attention and if they haven't gotten it from their doctor then they can get it from other sources, like Cooking Matters.
P: What were the common questions or misconceptions that folks had?
N: So, some of the things that come up are like, "Why do we have to look at saturated fat?" So, we'll have a conversation about heart disease and they'll go, "Oh well, I have some heart problems," or high blood pressure and that will lead us down the conversation of sodium intake and reading food labels. And they never knew they should look at that part of the food label and they didn't know that sodium affected their blood pressure significantly. Because their doctor might have said, "Oh, try to cut back on salt," but they didn't really understand why or get into a conversation any deeper than that.
P: I think we do hear that a lot, just sort of, "You should eat better."
N: Yeah, just really generic instructions and there's not a how you should do that, or why you should do that.
P: Is that something that is part of the Cooking Matters program, more than just "you should," but this is how this affects your body?
N: Yes! And not just that, but understanding how a recipe works and if you don't have a recipe, how to take the foods you're getting at the food pantry or what you're able to purchase at a low price and how to make that into something healthy and also looking at things like leaving the peels on fruits and vegetables, because that gives you more fiber. And fiber is better for you because it helps prevent cancer and lowers you cholesterol, so these are things we all talk about in the class over the six weeks. Lots of questions, lots of "Oh, I didn't know that!"
P: Were there any common reasons that folks weren't always able to access healthy food?
N: I think one of the barriers living in this area is access to healthy food, so purposefully going out of your way to go to the bigger grocery stores to buy fresh produce. That is a big barrier, because it's easy to just go down to that little convenience store that's right there.
P: I think that's something we can all relate to, if it's hard to fit that time in to your week or you don't have a car or reliable transit, just valuing food enough to make that time to make that trip and that effort.
N: Yes. And seeing that it's not a huge hurdle. It can be a hurdle, but we took the bus to Fred Meyer so they got to see that it just took a few minutes.
Another thing that would come up is the kitchens that they have available to them. They would say, "Oh, I don't have this, I don't have an oven, I only have a microwave or a hotplate." So we'd talk about different ways to get around that so you could still have the healthy food and the good options and kind of overcoming not having measuring cups, little things that we take for granted.
P: Were there any stand out moments from the class?
N: I loved the last day when everyone got to come together and talk about what they learned and the recipes that they liked and just got to hang out. I think a bunch of people stayed later and we all took pictures and everyone got a little award and an apron and they just talked about how much they loved it and how they want to take more classes.
The last day we also played food jeopardy. Alison [the lead chef for Cooking Matters] set up this Jeopardy board and prizes, like mixing spoons and things like that they could use, and everyone did so well remembering things like what temperature you need to cook chicken to and what's the biggest way you can prevent disease or foodborne illness, which was "wash your hands," which everyone knew.
I got to know some people and the hard things they've gone through and what they've overcome. And now that they're getting back in to a stable lifestyle this is something where they can meet people and learn a new skill and take their health into their own hands. I think having something to stick with and to get out and meet people and interact with them was really good for several participants. There was a couple in there too and they used it as their date night. And one of them didn't like vegetables at all, or only certain vegetables, so it kind of pushed him outside of his comfort zone. And that was cool to see.
P: And what was important about this experience for you?
N: Seeing how resilient people are. It was so neat to get to know people over these six weeks and hearing what they're going through with their health and illness, rough backgrounds, and the social isolation and they're just putting themselves out there and working to get better. When I work as a paramedic, I talk to someone for about 15 to 30 minutes, and that's about it, and I leave them at the hospital, so I don't really get beyond, "What are you feeling right now?" Working with this population, which I don't get to do very often, it kind of pushed me beyond my comfort zone in effective communications and how to talk about things that are hard without being biased or offending anyone.
P: And what keeps you coming back to volunteer?
N: It feels so good, people thank you, and hopefully I'll get to see people on the street now walking around in this area and say hi and catch up and make connections.
P: It's a great reminder that we're all in this space together and you can make a connection like that.
"It's nice to just break it down and just understand that while they have a completely different life from what I have, they are valuable, they are human, and want interactions. We're all people in this community."
N: Just even walking over here, I try to smile at people on the street when I'm walking by and maybe they don't get attention or noticed or whatever, so just smiling and saying hi and just watching them be like, "Oh, Hi!" It's nice to just break it down and just understand that while they have a completely different life from what I have, they are valuable, they are human, and want interactions. We're all people in this community.
P: And for our traditional last questions, if you met someone who was on the fence about volunteering with CCC, other than that wonderful pitch you just gave to me, what would you tell them?
N: Oh, I mean, even if you just do a little bit I think that seeing other ways of life or confronting things that you have a bias toward or against, it just makes you feel more connected to humanity. It makes you feel more human. And more empathetic. That's a big, big part of why I'm doing this. It's so important to interact with people that you don't normally and do something for another person.

Former Uruguayan president-turned-dictator Juan Maria Bordaberry died July 17 at his home, where he was serving a 30-year sentence for killings and disappearances during his country's war against subversives. He was 83.
Mr. Bordaberry had been suffering from breathing problems and other illnesses. His son, Sen. Pedro Bordaberry, confirmed his father's death.
A wealthy conservative landowner, Mr. Bordaberry was elected president in 1971 during a chaotic time in Uruguay, when the democratic country was descending into political and economic upheaval. Wealthy elites and leftist Tupamaro guerrillas both saw armed revolution as a potential path to power.
Mr. Bordaberry called on the armed forces to crush the Tupamaros, and the military stalked top guerrillas efficiently and successfully, effectively dismantling the movement's leadership in nine months.
But the military continued to grow in strength and influence. On June 27, 1973, tanks surrounded the legislative palace in Montevideo, the capital. Mr. Bordaberry signed off on a "soft" coup that allowed him to keep his title but transferred most of the government's power to a "security council" run by the army, air force and navy.
Capitulating to pressure from the military, Mr. Bordaberry also suspended the constitution and banned political parties. He ruled by decree for three years, until the generals ousted him as well in 1976.
Democracy wasn't restored until 1985.
After being removed from power, Mr. Bordaberry lived quietly out of public view. As the dictatorship ended, Uruguay's congress approved amnesties that protected both military figures and former guerrillas — including Uruguay's current president, former Tupamaro leader Jose Mujica.
The amnesties, however, did not cover Mr. Bordaberry's alleged role in the 1970s killings of four Uruguayans who had fled to Argentina.
Investigative judges linked Mr. Bordaberry to the 1976 abductions and killings of two prominent lawmakers who were seized from their homes in exile in Buenos Aires: leftist Sen. Zelmar Michelini and House leader Hector Gutierrez of the conservative National Party. Their bullet-riddled bodies and those of suspected Uruguayan guerrillas William Whitelaw and Rosario Barredo were found days later.
Human rights groups maintain they were killed as part of Operation Condor, a secret pact between South America's dictatorships to eliminate political opponents who had fled to neighboring countries.
In 2006, a judge ordered Mr. Bordaberry arrested for those murders and for charges of especially aggravated homicide in the killings of 10 leftist detainees.
In February 2010, Mr. Bordaberry was sentenced to the maximum 30 years in prison for violating the constitution by leading the 1973 coup. He was serving the sentence at his home because of his health.
His family considered him to be a victim of political pressure from the Broad Front coalition of center-left parties, unions and social movements that has governed Uruguay since 2005.
His prosecution marked the beginning of efforts by the South American country of 3.5 million people to end impunity for those responsible for the disappearances and torture of hundreds of Uruguayans and the exile of thousands of dissidents. A peace commission found in 2003 that the dictatorship killed 175 leftist political activists, 26 of them in clandestine torture centers.
The Tupamaros also committed killings and other crimes after taking up arms in 1963 against democratically elected governments, and many of the guerrillas who weren't killed served long prison terms. Mujica, for example, spent more than a decade behind bars.
Juan Maria Bordaberry Arocena was born June 17, 1928, in Montevideo to parents of French-Basque heritage.
His father was a lawyer and senator who owned one of the country's largest ranches. When he died, the younger Bordaberry dropped out of law school at the University of Montevideo to manage the family's landholdings.
Mr. Bordaberry entered public life in the 1950s as soaring inflation and low beef and wool prices crippled Uruguay's economy and its strong education, health and welfare programs.
He served on several prominent national agricultural boards before he was elected senator in 1962 on the National Party, or Blanco, ticket. Later, he switched to the Colorado Party, a mainstream party somewhat to the left of the Blancos.
He was named agriculture minister in 1969 and won the presidential race two years later.
Mr. Bordaberry's conviction notwithstanding, Uruguay has largely avoided prosecutions on the scale of Argentina or Chile, where hundreds of former military and police officials have been tried for crimes against humanity.
Mr. Bordaberry was one of only two civilians to be jailed for dictatorship-era crimes. His foreign minister, Juan C. Blanco, was convicted of the murder of a woman who had taken refuge inside the Venezuelan Embassy.
The amnesties continue to be a subject of debate. Two plebiscites narrowly failed to overturn the military amnesty. An effort in congress to do the same failed by a single vote this year.
Staff writer Emma Brown contributed to this report.

To walk along the cliffs of RSPB South Stack on a late summer evening provides the release from everyday stresses. The scenes on offer are what photographer's dreams are made of; a deeply red-coloured sky fading away in the distance, choughs criss-crossing mid-air. Although the nesting seabirds – puffins, razorbills and guillemots - have now left the cliffs there's still plenty to see. The reserve is now in bloom. The heather and gorse form a carpet of pink, purple and yellow, a wonderful sight against the backdrop of the blue Irish Sea. The dry weather seems to have benefited our butterfly population and numbers are up this year. Pete, our shepherd, and his dogs are up on the mountain daily with our flock of 120 Hebridean sheep. They are grazing selected parts of the mountain to help keep the grass short for choughs, the red-billed crow for which the Welsh coast is internationally-important. Porpoises and dolphins are regularly spotted in the water off Ellin's Tower too.
We've seen unusual visitors this summer. Orcas were seen from the reserve in June, and from the fin-shape, we know that they are members of the British population who are often seen in the west coast of Scotland. The beautiful rare, snowy owl was spotted again on the reserve in early July, after making a first appearance in March. She has been seen in a few locations on Anglesey this year, the first since 1972!
Building for the future
Despite being perched in such a dramatic location with incredible wildlife and iconic views, the current facilities are not fit for purpose. Following years of harsh weather, South Stack's current visitor and working facilities are crumbling away. For this reason, we have submitted a planning application to improve them.
The existing two storey structure which houses the reserve offices, staff welfare facilities and public toilets at RSPB South Stack Visitor Centre is dilapidated. Part of the building suffered from major damage caused by a couple of winter storms, the café kitchen needs an upgrade to serve tens of thousands of meals every year, and the visitor toilets need to meet the current regulations. We've patched up the building for enough years, but since a storm almost two years ago, have been forced to close part of this building as it was unsafe, and the team has been working out of a temporary cabin.
We are proposing to partially demolish the two-storey structure and part of the single storey structure, replacing them with a purpose-built modern facility to include much-needed insulation to deal with the colder months and clifftop winds, double glazed windows throughout and technology to help save and treat water. The new building will include café seating area, visitor toilets and storage on the ground floor. The first floor will provide facilities for volunteers and local staff to continue their work of keeping the reserve a special place for nature and for visitors. The development will offer much-improved facilities for staff and for the 185,000 annual visitors, offering a ground-to-ceiling view through the café to open-up the dramatic South Stack spectacle.
The proposal will also replace an existing septic tank with a new sewage treatment plant. Having worked closely with Natural Resources Wales, the position and type of sewage treatment will dramatically improve the current system which is reaching the end of its life.
What next?
Should the planning application be granted, the visitor centre and the children's play area will be closed for several months through next winter and spring. We are exploring whether we can provide temporary catering, but parking will still available, though more restricted than usual.
We are really excited about the plans for South Stack. We know it is a valued destination for local people and the island's many tourists; the RSPB facilities provide employment for local people and volunteers who share their passion for the place with the reserve's many visitors. It deserves facilities to match its popularity. A reserve already brimming with everlasting memories will be given a new lease of life so our future generations can visit and create their very own.
If you have any further questions relating to the planning applications, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I've read all of that time after time before. But you can't get away from the fact that local people are very upset with the RSPB over the proposed car park charges especially with the RSPB going ahead with this appeal. If the RSPB win this appeal, relationships with local people and the local authority will be very very strained, although I did support the RSPB over this at the beginning of this situation. But in some ways, I wish the RSPB hadn't gone on with this appeal.
Hi there. Thanks for your comments. The latest FAQs regarding South Stack parking can be found at the following link: ww2.rspb.org.uk/.../RSPB-South-Stack-FAQs-JULY-18.pdf
Not blaming anyone in particular, but quite obviously, it would have made sense to resolve the local politics one way or another before committing member's money to pay for an architect and planning application. Extremely regrettable decision making to not tie one in with the other. Baffling infact.
Well the locals seem to be up in arms about the car park charging and I see no comment on that above.

Knowing how to stop snoring immediately can improve your quality of sleep, relationships and life in general. Snoring can put a huge strain in your relationship when the people around you cannot get any sleep. It is also bad for your health as it affects the quality of your sleep. Here are some tips on how to stop snoring immediately.
Get Checked for Sleep Apnea
If you have a severe snoring problem, you should visit your doctor and get checked for sleep apnea. You may spend the night in the clinic or hospital. You'll be hooked up to machines to determine the number of times you stop breathing when sleeping as well as how long it lasts and how many episodes you suffer from. The CPAP machine is usually used for this.
Surgery can work for some, but it's expensive and the results are not instant. Recovery time can also be uncomfortable and lengthy.
Snoring Remedies
If you don't have sleep apnea, there are different snoring remedies that you can try. Many people find chin straps beneficial. You can also use an anti-snoring pillow. These snoring remedies open up the airways and pathways in your throat and nasal area.
The nose and throat vibrate against the tissues when the air to the lungs is obstructed. This causes the noisy sound that prevents you and other people from sleeping well at night. If you have a cold that's causing you to snore, you can also use throat sprays. Nasal oils can help open up your airways immediately.
These methods can provide instant results, so don't be afraid to try it. Snoring prevents you from having a good sleep at night, but don't be embarrassed because you're not the only one suffering from this problem. Use these tips to stop snoring immediately and have a restful sleep at night.

Royal Bank of Scotland executives on Wednesday defended a 12 billion pound ($23.8 billion) rights issue and told shareholders the "decisive action" left the bank well placed to seize growth opportunities.
Executives at Britain's second-largest lender have come under fire from investors since plans for the record cash call emerged, over what many saw as a radical U-turn for a bank which had long denied a need to shore up its balance sheet.
"The time had come to take decisive action to rebase the capital," Chairman Tom McKillop told shareholders at the annual meeting on Wednesday.
"We're convinced the actions announced yesterday were in the best interests of shareholders." RBS has brushed aside concerns about its top management team but some major shareholders have said McKillop, Chief Executive Fred Goodwin and the board would have to work to keep their backing, calling for a succession plan to be put in place.
"It's a painful decision and an unwelcome decision, but I passionately believe it was the right one," Goodwin said of Tuesday's rights issue.
Asked about the volte-face at the bank, which insisted as late as February there was no need to raise capital, he said events in March were "unprecedented," citing a sharp drop in asset valuations and a deteriorating economic outlook.
Small shareholders at Wednesday's meeting agreed with Goodwin, blaming the economic turmoil that has battered the industry for RBS's woes, with most naming him as the right person to guide the bank through its troubles -- for now.
"Fred has generally done a good job and he's allowed one mistake," Gregan Crawford, a shareholder from Edinburgh said.
"He should be given a year or two to see how it goes."
Safe for Now?
RBS says the biggest-ever rights issue and planned disposals will help rebuild its capital reserves, which have been stretched by its part in last year's takeover of Dutch bank ABN Amro and turmoil in financial markets in recent months.
"'Fred the shred' over-reached himself.
But ABN is different to NatWest, and we should give him another year or two to see if the returns start coming through," Nick Smith, a retired shareholder from outside Glasgow, said.
"We should give him the benefit of the doubt." McKillop said the strengthened position would now leave the bank ready to take advantage of growth opportunities -- even in turbulent markets: "It's often in adversity that competitive advantage is won," he told investors.
McKillop said the bank's priorities for 2008 included delivering on the integration of ABN, taking advantage of ABN's strong position in Asia and maintaining disciplined management of its investment banking arm, long an engine of growth.
Comments published by the bank on Tuesday have prompted mounting concern over a drop in the earnings power of the investment bank arm, Global Banking and Markets (GBM), hit by the credit crunch in key revenue-generating areas.
RBS has denied a strategic shift but has acknowledged repositioning itself as some traditional areas of growth slowed.
Shareholders at rival UBS also met on Wednesday to consider an emergency capital increase, the Swiss bank's second within months as it tries to stabilise after reeling from the subprime crisis.
UBS, one of the top casualties of the credit crunch, has signalled it would cut its investment bank to a rump, no longer using its wealthy client base to bankroll the business and thus effectively cutting its lifeline.

We just got back from our first cruise ever! Verdict: Pretty good. I'm not in a hurry to do it again, but I wouldn't dread it if we were to do it again (preferably with others, it's a good group/family activity).
Going in, I was a little hesitant about it because cruises, Caribbean beaches (touristy), just don't sound like they have much by way of experiencing different cultures and foods which is what I generally like about travelling. Even for local/domestic travel, it's nice to experience the local rhythms of a town. I won't say I was wrong about my hunches. It is very touristy. It is crowded, being on a big boat with a lot of people everywhere all the time. Aboard the ship, it is devoid of local cuisines. Think Bob's Big Boy or Cheesecake Factory food. But it was still fun. Cruise ships are decadence, gluttony, waste. Even though the food wasn't wonderful, it wasn't bad either and I spent a lot of time eating, 6 square meals a day! Food was available all the time. It's always nice to not have to cook or clean for a few days. So that was the ship experience.
With regards to the Bahamas, I love the beaches and would love to go back (said with a little afterglow of the sun). The beaches in the Bahamas were the most beautiful I've ever seen and they weren't too crowded either. I would probably go by plane though and stay a few days instead of a cruise. The soft sand and beautiful blue waters… it was spiritual! I was more relaxed than at any yoga class. I learned that I actually do like beaches afterall. Sunshine is glorious!

Global Microwave Oven Market 2016: Industry Insight, Demand, Statistics, Review and Forecasts to 2020
Intense Research releases a new market research report "World Microwave Oven Market - Opportunities and Forecasts, 2014 - 2020" to add to its collection of research reports.
Deerfield Beach, FL -- (SBWire) -- 07/19/2016 --Microwave ovens, today, form an integral part of kitchen appliances. Microwave oven functions on thermal energy by heating the polar molecules in food, a process also known as dialectic heating. The microwave radiations emitted from microwave ovens are of shorter wavelength, but possess enormous amount of energy which facilitate faster cooking. Microwave ovens, depending on their power output, can alternatively be used for roasting, baking and grilling. Microwave ovens are manufactured with varied features, some of which include, touch display panels, a heating chamber, vents and a glass turntable. North America is a major revenue contributor to the global microwave oven market. The Asia Pacific region would witness an impressive growth in the microwave oven market. A significant increase in disposable income and growing working class segment would foster the growth of the Asia Pacific microwave market. The increasing propensity of consumers to spend on appliances which assist them in kitchen chores has generated an increasing demand for microwave ovens. Additionally, the changing lifestyle of consumers has encouraged the users to opt for stylish and convenient appliances which complement their living standards. However, the prominent use of traditional cooking equipment in the less developed regions of Asian countries, limits the growth of microwave oven market. Moreover, the need of energy efficient kitchen appliances and growing demand for smart appliances are factors that will drive the growth of the microwave oven market.

Top players are adopting various strategies in the market in order to acquire a bigger market share in the microwave oven market. Their key development strategies include product launch, partnerships and collaborations. In December 2014, Samsung launched a new smart microwave oven in the Jordanian market. It has 28 L capacity which includes microwave, oven, fryer, baking oven, grill and toaster. The microwave oven is equipped with the latest technology which enables convenient and fast cooking with user friendly functions. The product has been launched with an aim to provide the Jordanian market with a multi-function device that facilitates easy usage and promotes healthy cooking. In September 2014, Electrolux announced the acquisition of GE appliance, a global manufacturer of home appliances. This acquisition would help Electrolux in expanding its business and improving its global presence within the home appliances market. This acquisition is regarded as the biggest acquisition of Electrolux till date. In October 2014, Whirlpool acquired Hefei Rongshida Sanyo Electric Co.Ltd., one of the leading home appliances company based in China. With this acquisition, Whirlpool aims to strengthen its market position in the Chinese appliance market. The other key players dominating this market include LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics, Alto-Shaam Inc., AB Electrolux, Sharp Corporation, Hoover Limited, Illinois Tool Works Inc., Galanz Enterprise Group, Whirlpool Corporation and Panasonic Corporation.
The world microwave oven market is segmented, based on type, application, structure and geography. Three types of microwave oven are covered in this report such as convection, grill and solo. The convection microwave oven accounts for the bigger market share within the world microwave oven market. Owing to its high functionality feature, convection microwave oven is witnessing a rapid growth. The report is also analyzed from the perspective of application of microwave oven. Household application of microwave oven accounts for a higher share than the commercial application. The product structure segment comprises of built-in and counter top. Built-in microwave oven are expensive and involve installation charges, whereas counter top microwave ovens do not have any installation cost and can be placed conveniently in the kitchen. The report covers an in-depth analysis of the microwave oven market across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America, Middle East and Africa (LAMEA).

Bread to go with those Veggies
I'm sure some of you have made the recipe for no-knead bread that was printed in the New York Times a couple of months back. I've been experimenting with it for a few weeks now, and I can't believe how good it is! For those of you who aren't familiar with it, a copy of it follows. A search on the New York Times website will turn up the recipe as well as a video of how it is made. Another video of a very similar recipe which is a little easier to find is here:
New York Times
November 8, 2006
Recipe: No-Knead Bread
Adapted from Jim Lahey, Sullivan Street Bakery
Time: About 1½ hours plus 14 to 20 hours rising
3 cups all-purpose or bread flour, more for dusting
¼ teaspoon instant yeast
1¼ teaspoons salt
Cornmeal or wheat bran as needed.
1. In a large bowl combine flour, yeast and salt. Add 1 5/8 cups water, and stir until blended; dough will be shaggy and sticky. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rest at least 12 hours, preferably about 18, at warm room temperature, about 70 degrees.
2. Dough is ready when its surface is dotted with bubbles. Lightly flour a work surface and place dough on it; sprinkle it with a little more flour and fold it over on itself once or twice. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rest about 15 minutes.
3. Using just enough flour to keep dough from sticking to work surface or to your fingers, gently and quickly shape dough into a ball. Generously coat a cotton towel (not terry cloth) with flour, wheat bran or cornmeal; put dough seam side down on towel and dust with more flour, bran or cornmeal. Cover with another cotton towel and let rise for about 2 hours. When it is ready, dough will be more than double in size and will not readily spring back when poked with a finger.
4. At least a half-hour before dough is ready, heat oven to 450 degrees. Put a 6- to 8-quart heavy covered pot (cast iron, enamel, Pyrex or ceramic) in oven as it heats. When dough is ready, carefully remove pot from oven. Slide your hand under towel and turn dough over into pot, seam side up; it may look like a mess, but that is O.K. Shake pan once or twice if dough is unevenly distributed; it will straighten out as it bakes. Cover with lid and bake 30 minutes, then remove lid and bake another 15 to 30 minutes, until loaf is beautifully browned. Cool on a rack.
Yield: One 1½-pound loaf.
I've found that it needs about 2 1/2 tsp. of salt instead of 1 1/4 tsp. I've also used up to 3/4 tsp. of Dry Active Yeast. I've used up to 30 % rye flour and up to 50 % whole wheat flour with great results. I've also used various combinations of seeds and different rising times etc. all with amazing results. If you've made lots of bread as I have or if you've never made bread before you will have amazing results using this recipe. I'd love to talk with anyone else who has tried it. If you've never tried it, give it a go. Please post here or if you have any questions, suggestions, or experiences.

A very good friend of mine who was the chief cook on a merchant ship for 20 years told me that to make perfect bread, forget the salt you usualy put in, and instead they used to just throw a bucket over the side of the boat and use seawater instead- apparently it has just the right amount of raw salt and minerals in it to make perfect bread-fine tasting that everyone loves,
If you happen to live near a bit of (Clean Sea) try it, otherwise bottle up a five gallon drum next time you visit the seas and take it home with you, especialy to make bread and rolls etc with- its amazing the difference it makes to the flavour,

You don't mention the temperature of the water that you're adding. I'm assuming it should be warm water (but not over 150 as that kills the yeast)?
So far I have been using a bread machine which I am reasonably happy with, but I'd like to start making more interesting breads and since it's 33 degrees outside, it's a perfect day to run our whole-house heat pump, er, I meant our gas oven.
Remember kids, when shopping for home appliances you want a gas stove, but the oven better be electric or you will have to add an A/C unit for the kitchen. Of course in a perfect world I'd have 4 gas burners and 2 electric so I'll stop burning sauces.

As far as water temperature goes, it doesn't matter a bit as long as it isn't so warm as to kill the yeast. I started out using slightly warm spring water in order to avoid chlorine, but plain old tap water, cold is fine, works just as well. A lot of the things in the recipe defy normal bread making rules. The most important thing I've found is using a container that has a good fitting lid. Be sure to preheat the baking pan and lid in the hot oven. I usually use a cast iron Dutch Oven but I've also used a heavy aluminum sauce pan that has a well fitted lid. Both ways turn out great although the Dutch oven produced a more chewy/crunchy crust, which is what I love.
PS Be sure anything you put in your oven can take the heat! I've read several places where people put lids in the oven that melted down!

Bread recipe
Could you move this recipe over to the recipe forum so more can see it? I like to experiment with sourdough, which I have 3 different types of, making breads and flatbreads so far. It is good winter fun.

I posted here because this isn't really a tomato recipe or a gardening recipe. Doesn't matter to me where it gets moved. I kinda thought more people would see it in the conversations area. Perhaps more cooks would see it in the other location though. I dunno...
I found a sourdough version of this no knead recipe at http://www.breadtopia.com upper left hand side under Bread Baking Videos. I've only made it once, came out quite good, but I needed to increase the amount of starter used or the rising time to get more sour flavor.

the only problem with home baked bread is-that it doesnt last very long after you cut it, especialy if you happen to have a pat of real farm butter to spread on it- Yummy.

REAL bagels and how to make them
Reprinted with permission of the author.
This is a recipe by my friend Johann Blank.
Gentle reader, it is assumed that you know from bagels. The bagel, in its peripatetic history, has moved from the shtetls of Eastern Europe to the delis of the United States, survived the onslaught of many a foreign formulation and flavoring, and also has managed to remain relatively dignified in the face of mass-production, freezing and other procedural adulterations and ba$tardizations. In the United States, however, most people's idea of a bagel seems to be of a vaguely squishy unsweetened doughnut, possibly with some sort of god-awful flavoring mixed into it (with the "blueberry bagel" being perhaps the most offensive), generally purchased in lots of six in some supermarket... possibly even frozen.
These are not those bagels.
These bagels are the genuine article. These are the bagels that have sustained generations of Eastern European Jewish peasants, the bagels that babies can teethe upon (folk wisdom has it that the hard, chewy crust encourages strong teeth), the bagels about which writer and humorist Alice Kahn has so aptly written that bagels are "Jewish courage."
This recipe makes approximately fifteen large bagels, The bagels are made without eggs, milk or any type of shortening or oil, which makes them pareve according to Kosher law. These bagels are plain, but I will provide suggestions as to how you may customize them to your tastes while retaining their Pristine and Ineffable Nature. May you bake them and eat them in good health.
First, pour three cups of hot water into the mixing bowl. The water should be hot, but not so hot that you can't bear to put your fingers in it for several seconds at a time. Add the sugar or honey and stir it with your fingers (a good way to make sure the water is not too hot) or with a wire whisk to dissolve. Sprinkle the yeast over the surface of the water, and stir to dissolve.
Wait about ten minutes for the yeast to begin to revive and grow. This is known as "proofing" the yeast, which simply means that you're checking to make sure your yeast is viable. Skipping this step could result in your trying to make bagels with dead yeast, which results in bagels so hard and potentially dangerous that they are banned under the terms of the Geneva Convention. You will know that the yeast is okay if it begins to foam and exude a sweetish, slightly beery smell.
At this point, add about three cups of flour as well as the 2 tsp of salt to the water and yeast and begin mixing it in. Some people subscribe to the theory that it is easier to tell what's going on with the dough if you use your hands rather than a spoon to mix things into the dough, but others prefer the less physically direct spoon. As an advocate of the bare-knuckles school of baking, I proffer the following advice: clip your fingernails, take off your rings and wristwatch, and wash your hands thoroughly to the elbows, like a surgeon. Then you may dive into the dough with impunity. I generally use my right hand to mix, so that my left is free to add flour and other ingredients and to hold the bowl steady. Left-handed people might find that the reverse works better for them. Having one hand clean and free to perform various tasks works best.
When you have incorporated the first three cups of lour, the dough should begin to become thick-ish. Add more flour, a half-cup or so at a time, and mix each addition thoroughly before adding more flour. As the dough gets thicker, add less and less flour at a time. Soon you will begin to knead it by hand (if you're using your hands to mix the dough in the first place, this segue is hardly noticeable). If you have a big enough and shallow enough bowl, use it as the kneading bowl, otherwise use that clean, dry, flat countertop or tabletop mentioned in the "Equipment" list above.
Sprinkle your work surface or bowl with a handful of flour, put your dough on top, and start kneading. Add bits of flour if necessary to keep the dough from sticking (to your hands, to the bowl or countertop, etc....). Soon you should have a nice stiff dough. It will be quite elastic, but heavy and stiffer than a normal bread dough. Do not make it too dry, however... it should still give easily and stretch easily without tearing.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, and cover with one of your clean kitchen towels, dampened somewhat by getting it wet and then wringing it out thoroughly. If you swish the dough around in the bowl, you can get the whole ball of dough covered with a very thin film of oil, which will keep it from drying out.
Place the bowl with the dough in it in a dry, warm (but not hot) place, free from drafts. Allow it to rise until doubled in volume. Some people try to accelerate rising by putting the dough in the oven, where the pilot lights keep the temperature slightly elevated. If it's cold in your kitchen, you can try this, but remember to leave the oven door open or it may become too hot and begin to kill the yeast and cook the dough. An ambient temperature of about 80 degrees Fahrenheit (25 centigrades) is ideal for rising dough.
While the dough is rising, fill your stockpot with about a gallon of water and set it on the fire to boil. When it reaches a boil, add the malt syrup or sugar and reduce the heat so that the water just barely simmers; the surface of the water should hardly move.
Once the dough has risen, turn it onto your work surface, punch it down, and divide immediately into as many hunks as you want to make bagels. For this recipe, you will probably end up with about 15 bagels, so you will divide the dough into 15 roughly even-sized hunks. Begin forming the bagels. There are two schools of thought on this. One method of bagel formation involves shaping the dough into a rough sphere, then poking a hole through the middle with a finger and then pulling at the dough around the hole to make the bagel. This is the hole-centric method. The dough-centric method involves making a long cylindrical "snake" of dough and wrapping it around your hand into a loop and mashing the ends together. Whatever you like to do is fine. DO NOT, however, give in to the temptation of using a doughnut or cookie cutter to shape your bagels. This will push them out of the realm of Jewish Bagel Authenticity and give them a distinctly Protestant air. The bagels will not be perfectly shaped. They will not be symmetrical. This is normal. This is okay. Enjoy the diversity. Just like snowflakes, no two genuine bagels are exactly alike.
Begin to preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Once the bagels are formed, let them sit for about 10 minutes. They will begin to rise slightly. Ideally, they will rise by about one-fourth volume... a technique called "half-proofing" the dough. At the end of the half-proofing, drop the bagels into the simmering water one by one. You don't want to crowd them, and so there should only be two or three bagels simmering at any given time. The bagels should sink first, then gracefully float to the top of the simmering water. If they float, it's not a big deal, but it does mean that you'll have a somewhat more bready (and less bagely) texture. Let the bagel simmer for about three minutes, then turn them over with a skimmer or a slotted spoon. Simmer another three minutes, and then lift the bagels out of the water and set them on a clean kitchen towel that has been spread on the countertop for this purpose. The bagels should be pretty and shiny, thanks to the malt syrup or sugar in the boiling water.
Once all the bagels have been boiled, prepare your baking sheets by sprinkling them with cornmeal. Then arrange the bagels on the prepared baking sheets and put them in the oven. Let them bake for about 25 minutes, then remove from the oven, turn them over and put them back in the oven to finish baking for about ten minutes more. This will help to prevent flat-bottomed bagels.
Remove from the oven and cool on wire racks, or on a dry clean towels if you have no racks. Do not attempt to cut them until they are cool... hot bagels slice abominably and you'll end up with a wadded mass of bagel pulp. Don't do it.
Serve with good cream cheese.
TO CUSTOMIZE BAGELS: After boiling but before baking, brush the bagels with a wash made of 1 egg white and 3 tablespoons ice water beaten together. Sprinkle with the topping of your choice: poppy, sesame, or caraway seeds, toasted onion or raw garlic bits, salt or whatever you like. Just remember that bagels are essentially a savory baked good, not a sweet one, and so things like fruit and sweet spices are really rather out of place.
One last word of farewell, Dear Master and Mistress.
Whenever you visit my grave,
say to yourselves with regret
but also with happiness in your hearts
at the remembrance of my long happy life with you:
"Here lies one who loved us and whom we loved."
No matter how deep my sleep I shall hear you,
and not all the power of death
can keep my spirit
from wagging a grateful tail.

Well, I'm just an old Presbyterian girl myself, but I grew up in Montgomery County, Maryland with lots of Jewish friends. I never saw them eat a cinnaomon raisin or blueberry bagel. I don't care for those either. I like the onion ones best. Thanks for sharing the story of a TRUE bagel.

To really get with it, translate that recipe into one for the bread machine dough cycle. :-)

Even Easier No Work Bread
Here's my even easier version of the No Work Bread:
Even Easier No Work Bread
This bread is so easy to make it like stealing it!
3 cups bread or all purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons rapid rise yeast
1 and 5/8 cups warm water
Mix above ingredients in a bowl and put in a warm spot. Leave about 6 or 8 hours for it to rise, then spray a bread pan with Pam type oil and drizzle in some olive oil. Dump dough into pan and spray top of dough with Pam. Then spray some plastic wrap with Pam and cover dough. Let rise an hour or 2. Bake in hot oven at 450 F. for 20 to 30 minutes or until browned to your liking.
I use a pizza stone and just as the bread starts to brown take loaf out of pan and finish it on the stone. Wonderful crunchy crust.

You shouldn't post pics like that when folks are hungry.
The bread looks fabulous. Question, can the bread be made in a cast iron Dutch Oven as the original poster suggests?

What Freemasons Can Learn from The Pope
I'm what the old guys would call "a tech guy." What that means to me and what it means to them are two very different things. To them, it means I know how to do something as far as this whole 'internet thing' is concerned. While I may get tripped up on the technicalities of specialization of my profession, they're right about one thing, I'm a millennial through and through.
There's been a lot of confusion about the word 'millennial'. I subscribe to a field of thought that views millennials as the post-generation generation. Unlike Generation Y, which is who most people confuse with Millennials, Millennials act in a new way of being human that relies primarily on digital technology as our most natural way to connect with others. That means that it includes any age group, nationality, or culture of human who live and breathe in the digital world as much as they do in the physical.
Millennials, because of our use of technology to connect with others, naturally see the world through a lense that is much broader than people who grew up without a real-time window into the lives of others. Freemasonry across the world has understood that we have "a marketing problem", however, what many freemasons don't realize is that you can't solve it with a new logo or a tagline. We have to adopt new technology in order to speak the new language millennials understand: social media.
For those who don't really understand why so many social networks exist, the explanation is actually fairly simple. Each social network has its own purpose. Linkedin is ideally used for work connections, Pinterest is used to collect beautiful and inspirational images, Facebook is the place to keep up with friends and acquaintances, Twitter is optimal for connecting with strangers to discuss mutual interests and topics, and Instagram is where we share memories visually. All of these networks help enhance our human experience by connecting with many many more people than we otherwise could.
Jason Silva is someone who I would consider to be an archetype of a 21st century philosopher. This video is a little piece he did that explains the network.
Now comes the interesting phenomenon: following celebrities. People follow them because they want to feel like a part of their life and enjoy in the moments that they feel are special to them. And the oldest celebrity office in the world, the Pope himself, finally joined instagram in March of this year. Frankly, he's killing it.
Millennials crave authenticity and transparency. These are things that become more and more difficult for institutions as they age, so the Freemasons and the Catholic church face a similar challenge in that regard. However, when an old institution like the Vatican focuses their Instagram account on the humanity of those precious passing moments of the present, old institutions become very relevant.
So my call to action is, every lodge should have someone instagramming, whether they do it personally and include the fact that they are a Freemason in their bio, or by posting on behalf on of their lodge. The focus should be on the fellowship, not the regalia. The secrets of our brotherhood are the bonds between brothers, and everyone can relate to or aspire to that.

ANN ARBOR, MI — A new online decision tool helps clinicians determine when to recommend lung cancer screening for their patients.
A report in Annals of Internal Medicine suggested that use of the instrument could help improve screening advice, based on clinical factors such as individual lung cancer risk and the potential benefits and harms of screening, as well as patient attitudes.1
The Lung Decision Precision tool, available online at https://share.lungdecisionprecision.com/, was designed by researchers from the Ann Arbor, MI, VA Healthcare System and the University of Michigan to help clinicians consult with patients on the appropriateness of lung CT scan in their specific situation.
The same team also created a website where patients and their families can weigh the positives and negatives of screening, as well as calculating their own risk of lunch cancer. It is available at www.shouldiscreen.com.
The site offers easy-to-understand information about the positives and potential negatives of lung cancer screening, while also enabling users to calculate their personal risk of lung cancer.
"Our model is built on a comprehensive view of net benefits for individual patients, which incorporates the best evidence for personalizing the pros and cons of screening and assumes that not all patients will feel the same about screening and its consequences," explained lead researcher Tanner Caverly, MD MPH, of the VA Center for Clinical Management Research and the University of Michigan Medical School. "This allows us to identify which patients are in the preference-sensitive zone for the decision about screening, and which ones have a very clear potential benefit to them."
The study pointed out that many health systems are looking for ways to better implement low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening programs that are more patient-centered. The research team pulled data from two large randomized trials, published decision analyses, and the SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) cancer registry in an effort to come up with some solutions.
"Moderate differences in preferences about the downsides of LDCT screening influenced whether screening was appropriate for eligible persons with annual lung cancer risk less than 0.3% or life expectancy less than 10.5 years," according to the results. "For higher-risk eligible persons with longer life expectancy (roughly 50% of the study population), the benefits of LDCT screening overcame even highly negative views about screening and its downsides."
Essentially, the study determined that anyone with an annual chance of lung cancer between 0.3% and 1.3%, and a life expectancy of more than 10 years, fell into the high-benefit category. That represents about 50% of Americans who qualify for screening under the current guidelines.
For the rest, however, personal preferences should play a large role in determining who gets tested.
"If a physician is not clear about the potential benefit for a patient who's in the high-benefit zone, they could miss an opportunity to do something really good for them, to say, 'I don't recommend this for everyone but I recommend it for you'," Caverly explained. "But coming across strong for screening with a patient who has a fine balance of pros and cons could miss an opportunity to give them a choice, to tell them that their decision depends on the kind of person they are."

MALACCA - Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Muhammad V is a "walking encyclopaedia," said Malacca Chief Minister Datuk Seri Idris Haron.
Speaking of the King's three-day visit to Malacca, Idris said that he felt that he had to listen closely to gain knowledge on certain subjects.
"We spoke in the Queen's English throughout the three days and I could gain a lot of knowledge from the King, so I took the opportunity to get answers on certain topics," said Idris.
Speaking after chairing the state's weekly exco meeting at Seri Negeri here on Wednesday, Idris added that the King's command of English is impeccable.
He added that his conversations with the King covered various topics including engineering, medicine, aeronautics, maritime issues and culture.
"His Majesty gave me a tour on various types of aircraft and the velocity of boats and their ability to cruise in the Malacca River based on their model and engine capacity," said Idris.
He added that he learned from the King about how whales communicate in the deep ocean and about various species of marine creatures.
Idris also said that he felt nervous as it was the first time he was hosting royalty in Malacca.
"At the end of the day, I enjoyed every moment with the King, who is not only young and vibrant but has vast knowledge and immaculate English grammar," said Idris.

Like-minded lawmakers across party lines have kicked off discussions toward amending the Bank of Japan Law to effectively lessen the central bank's independence and hold it more accountable for its monetary policy.
"The 1998 BOJ Law gave the bank too much independence and freedom, which caused prolonged deflation," said Your Party leader Yoshimi Watanabe, who launched the nonpartisan group Friday with Kozo Yamamoto of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, Sakihito Ozawa of Nippon Ishin no Kai (Japan Restoration Party) and Yoichi Masuzoe, head of Shinto Kaikaku (New Renaissance Party).
The group aims to rewrite the law to make the BOJ more accountable for its policies. Members of the three parties are pushing for change, and both the LDP and Your Party have drafted revisions calling for employment stability to be a BOJ policy goal, as well as for an accord between the government and the bank.
Your Party wants both Diet chambers to have the power to remove the BOJ governor if the bank fails to deliver on the expected results. Under the current BOJ Law, the Lower and Upper houses both have to approve the governor's nomination but they effectively can't dismiss whoever is installed.
"(But) senior LDP lawmakers will not agree to the proposal if the amendment enables the Diet to sack the BOJ governor," said the LDP's Yamamoto, referring to those in the ruling party who revised it in 1998.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's LDP-led administration pushed the central bank to agree to set a 2 percent inflation target to pursue a more aggressive monetary policy. Abe backpedaled a little after he was accused of threatening the central bank's independence from the government.
Yet lawmakers nevertheless want to hold the BOJ more accountable.
On Friday, Abe reiterated his position that revising the BOJ Law may be an option if the bank fails to deliver results during budget committee sessions.
"I would refrain from mentioning how the BOJ should achieve its goals, but it really depends on the new governor's capability and direction," Abe said, responding to a question by Kenji Eda of Your Party about the possibility of the law being amended.
The BOJ Law was revised in 1998 in an attempt to ensure the central bank's independence and transparency by giving both Diet chambers the power to approve the appointment of its governor and two deputy governors. Under the old BOJ Law, the Cabinet could appoint the governor and one deputy governor, and the finance minister had the authority to replace them.
Although Diet approval is now required for these appointments, the finance minister's power to replace the bank's top executives often compromises their independence and makes them sensitive to the government's position on monetary policy decisions.

Dear heart, dear absent one, yes I'm still talking to you: more threadbare than the shroud that veils the moon— not quite full, mottled blue and silver— nevertheless my halting speeches aspire to permanence and shape. I've seen the Three Immortals, pilgrims too, with their dusty paper scrolls and staffs and red-ripe peaches plump as children's cheeks. Is it unseemly to want more, to be as one skein of silk looped richly in the arms of defoliated trees, more than mere sigh in the shadow of departed wings? How long since I lay in the arms of untrammeled time, slow as love and thick as honey; how long since I first troubled the fret of tangled knots, looking for your hidden face? Each night the curtain lowers its velvet drape. Still unspent: my good-luck coin, glimmering fitfully beneath.
