SEOUL, 22 October 2012 – A UNIDO delegation arrived in the Republic of Korea today to further expand joint cooperation and discuss possible priorities and themes for moving towards a strategic, medium-term cooperation framework.
"In May this year, we signed a funding agreement with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and in March last year, another one with the Ministry of Knowledge Economy, to collaborate on joint projects and activities in the fields of green growth technology and low-carbon industrial development," said Wilfried Luetkenhorst, UNIDO Managing Director.
"This time we are discussing with our counterparts potential joint projects and funding to further expand our partnership. We also plan to discuss cooperation with such institutions as the Korea Energy Management Corporation (KEMCO) and the Korea Institute of Energy Technology Evaluation and Planning (KETEP)."
UNIDO is working closely with the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), initiated by the Government of Republic of Korea, in the field of climate change and green growth through joint projects and international fora such as the Global Green Growth Forum. The Organization is also expanding its cooperation with the Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA).
Luetkenhorst added that one of the joint projects will focus on biogas technology and business development in Ghana. The Ministry of Knowledge Economy will support the project through its international cooperation programme for joint research and development. The EUR 1 million project will address the policy aspects of the development of biogas technology, and establish a pilot project to demonstrate and introduce appropriate technologies and study their suitability for, or adaptation to the local context.
The Director-General of UNIDO, Kandeh K. Yumkella, took part in the Global Green Growth Summit 2012, hosted by the Government of Republic of Korea and the Global Green Growth Institute in partnership with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the UN Environment Programme, and the World Bank.

RNA interference (RNAi) is an ancient genetic regulatory mechanism that modern-day scientists are trying to harness. Since its discovery more than 10 years ago, RNAi R&D has run the gamut from excitement to disappointment to cautious optimism. Despite the roadblocks and difficulties, RNAi remains a powerful tool not only for basic science but also as a potential therapeutic.
RNAi is a natural process for gene silencing mediated by RNA silencing machinery and facilitated by small RNAs that bind to and degrade messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Part of its promise stems from its exquisite specificity to seek out and destroy its target without affecting regulation of other genes. GTCbio's recent "RNAi Research & Therapeutics" conference showcased new advances in the field including novel chemistries for synthetic silencing oligonucleotides and highlighted emerging approaches for RNAi-based therapies.
In the past decade, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as a new class of regulatory molecules that modulate gene expression. Operating at the post-transcriptional level, the small noncoding RNAs impact a diverse array of processes ranging from development to apoptosis.
Although antisense technology has been used for more than 30 years as a means to reduce the expression of specific RNAs, introduction of synthetic anti-miRNA oligonucleotides (AMOs) represents a new application of antisense methods.
"AMOs are typically 24 bases or less, and are usually made as full-length reverse complements to the mature miRNA," noted Kim A. Lennox, senior research assistant at Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT; www.idtdna.com). "They can also employ chemical modifications both at the internucleoside linkages as well as the 2´ hydroxyl position of the ribose sugar (i.e., 2´-O-methyl RNA). Various modification patterns can have a large impact on the potency, specificity, and toxicity profiles of AMOs. Increased binding affinity (i.e., high Tm) usually correlates with increased potency but comes at a price of decreased specificity.
"Finding the right balance between potency and specificity can be challenging. Some modifications can also cause toxicity, so working with nontoxic compounds is important, especially if in vivo use is planned."
Lennox said that, in addition to low toxicity, other desirable features for an AMO include nuclease resistance, increased binding affinity, and high specificity. "While AMOs synthesized using the 2´-O-methyl chemistry have several advantages, such as increased Tm when duplexed with miRNA targets and resistance from degradation by endonucleases, further improvements in stability and potency are needed for these reagents to reach their full potential."
IDT recently developed a non-nucleotide modification called ZEN. According to Scott D. Rose, Ph.D., director of molecular biology, "ZEN dramatically improves the performance of 2´-O-methyl AMOs when inserted into the sequence near both ends. The ZEN modification is a non-nucleotide napthyl-based compound. This new AMO design has many advantages, including: 1) protection from exonucleases, 2) enhancing Tm of the oligonucleotide without sacrificing specificity compared to other Tm enhancing modifications, and 3) low toxicity."
Dr. Rose indicated that a recently published study by Eran Hornstein's laboratory at the Weizmann Institute illustrated the utility of IDT's new ZEN-AMO chemistry by using these compounds to suppress specific miRNAs in pancreatic islet cells, demonstrating a role for these miRNAs in insulin regulation.
The ZEN chemistry is currently available for custom-ordered oligos and the new ZEN-AMO product line will appear in their catalog in the first quarter of 2012.
Nicola La Monica, Ph.D., vp of biology at Idera Pharmaceuticals, reported on the company's gene-silencing oligonucleotides, termed GSOs. "Our objective for developing these was to identify novel oligonucleotides to modulate gene expression that decreased the common problems associated with RNAi such as delivery and lack of potency."
GSOs are single-stranded oligonucleotides with two exposed 3´-ends whose 5´-ends are joined via a linker. "The 5´-ends of oligos are known to be responsible for immune activation through interaction with the toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), while the 3´-ends are required for gene-silencing activity. The GSO design accomplishes two things. By blocking the 5´-ends, immune activation is reduced while the 3´-ends allow for target mRNA processing. Since the GSOs can be delivered systemically, there is no complication of needing a specific delivery technology."
To validate the technology, company scientists synthesized RNA and DNA GSOs targeted to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), the adapter protein MyD88 and toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9). "The GSOs varied in length (15–25 mers) with each linking two identical oligonucleotides complementary to the target mRNA. In comparing the GSOs to traditional antisense compounds, we observed that 19 mers of RNA and DNA GSOs had the highest potency for gene silencing in vitro and in vivo."
The company will continue to improve on the technology and expand the list of targets that can be knocked down. "We are also working to better understand the mechanism of action. Because our studies demonstrated that the GSOs complementary to various mRNA targets showed similar results, we feel the technology will have broad applicability."

Deputies' duties reassigned after deadly shooting
22-year-old killed during scuffle in July
Two Marion County Sheriff's deputies are off the streets following a deadly shooting in July.
A special review committee found no criminal wrongdoing by the deputies who shot and killed a 22-year-old, but it did recommend deputies Norman Brown and Lauren Miley be reassigned.
The two will now work as corrections officers at the jail.
Brown and Miley were caught on camera scuffling with Joshua Salvato during an attempted arrest in July.
Miley eventually pulled out her gun and fired the deadly shot.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement and a grand jury looked into the case and found no reason the deputies should face criminal charges or be fired.
Salvato's family has sued the Marion County Sheriff's Office for wrongful death.

Single Stream School System & Malaysian Hypocrisy
He said that Malaysia is unique because it had multiple school streams but other countries had only one.
The ex-premier should be reminded too that Malaysia is also unique because it had so many race based political parties but other countries such as US, Canada and Australia would not even tolerate race identification and discrimination.
Dr Mahathir should blame his own policy and his party for discriminating and amplifying racism in the country.
The outcome: Two bright students Daniel Ibau and Marina Undau were denied places in the matriculation programme just because they were not Bumiputera enough. Many more had suffered the same fate.
Dr M should not just preach but he should walk his talk by telling his party leadership to turn multiracial because it will be good for unity and racial integration too.
Otherwise, it is better for him to realise that we are growing really tired of his hypocrisy.
26 comments:
I'm not being racist here but, in the first place, why matriculation? Matriculation was introduced to enable the bumi to have backdoor entry to the universities, while the non bumi have to struggle through the Form 6.
If the government is sincere in promoting meritocracy, they should just have one level playing field to promote healthy competition.
Mahathir walk the talk, and the same with all the other UMNO leaders ? Yeh right, when pigs fly !!!
Using the analogy of the snake with a forked tongue, we see that with one side of the mouth these people attempt to lure foreign tourists to come to Malaysia to spend their money by claiming that Malaysia is truly Asia and extolling the diversity of its people, cultures and customs, and the rich rainbow offering of food, dress, and festivals.
But, with the other side of their mouth, they insist that for unity and integration, a single school system, one language, and one national culture is imperative to unite all Malaysians. As if life is so simple and straightforward as that!
The South and North Koreans speak the same language and they are of the same racial stock. Yet that did not stop them from fighting each other viciously. The Pakistanis speak the same national language and they share the same religion - the Religion of Peace. Still it hasn't stopped them from gleefully bombing each other to kingdom come. And there are plenty of youngsters who speak Bahasa Malaysia fluently, better than their own mother tongues, but who find that they are marginalised and denied scholarship opportunities because they happened to be of the "wrong" ethnic group.
Recalling the parable of the Arab and his camel - first the camel requested to have just its head inside the tent; then it wanted to put its neck in; soon it maneouvred to have half its body inside; and finally the story culminated with the camel fully inside the tent and the Arab himself ejected from it as the tent was too small to accommodate both together.
Can a person be faulted if he fears that, first it's a single language, then a single school system, followed by one culture, and finally one religion; and any deviation from this forced uniformity will be met with Taliban-ish intolerance and savagery?

Lets have 1 stream, 1 kind of school. We should be unbiased and go for only the best type. Which is the best type of school available in the country today? Answer is: Jenis Kebangsaan Schools! We therefore should abolish the sekolah kebangsaan. Rename the Jenis Kebangsaan as 1 Kebangsaan School. So lets have 1 stream of schools only! Only the best for Malaysians!!
I only have one question. May I know where Tun Mahathir's grandchildren are schooling? Actually I would also like to know where all the Cabinet Ministers and the royalty's children are attending school.

I think everyone in Malaysia are being racist. For once I agree with Dr M suggestion. Even Dr M's suggestion is not pure single stream school system. His suggestion is to get different stream of school system under a same roof. But because everyone especially those who run the Chinese schools are so paranoid of Dr M's suggestion, any good suggestion will be viewed with prejudice.
Let's face it. Every Malaysian are racist especially those involve in politic. Some suggest we should follow the Singaporean single stream system. The problem is if the language used is BM, this will be viewed as attempt to eliminate the Chinese and Tamil system. But if this schools are run with English medium, I AM VERY SURE, lots will abandon the Chinese and Tamil and even BM schools and there will be hope for unity.
your article did not explain your position.Are you supportive of the single stream school.Yes or No answer would be sufficient.Need not be going around bushes

My article did state my agreement with Dr M. It was in a plain and short sentence - first sentence.
Do you agree that all race based parties should similarly be encouraged to go truly multiracial?
Dear Mr. KKP,
Your first sentence did not reflect your position and you know what im talking about.You are mere agreeing with Tun suggestion but not your position. Please stop playing with the words.I would appreciate a simple answer Yes or No...
And for your question, I do believe in multiracial parties.Being a Malay working with the Government of the day, Im sick and tired of hypocrites and prejudices be it in the public or private sector.We are all racist I dare to say simply from our up bringing. i had an exhilarating experience in this matter.When I was in Uni Malaya, my former girlfriend was a Chinese..we went out for almost 2 years.The girl family knew about our relationship and the rest I think you know how the story goes...so still all the community still have that racist sentiment and I dare to say that now I married a Chinese with 3 beautiful kids
There are many hypocrites in UMNO and no doubt the biggest one is the Mahakutty. Talk about single stream in schools but never say anything about their Mara colleges, SAR, UiTM etc. When Tan Sri Khalid proposed to have just 10% non malay students into UiTM they make helluva noise. Is it the chinese/indians who don't want to mix with malays or is it the other way round?
Hai yah, you can have 5 different streams also useless, if the teachers in the first place are dungus and the school syllabus has been dumbed down to such a stage where we have useless subject like Moral Studies as a test subject. I say Moral Studies as a dumb subject because when you have such fantastic MEMBERS OF PARLIMENT LIKE BUNG MOKHTAR showing the johnson clap in parliment and other M.Ps shouting 'Keluar', 'Bocor' and Perak Speaker being dragged out and roughed up. IS THIS THE FINE EXAMPLE the government is setting, with all the corruption & incompetence shown? When the BN govt has no morals, what more to say, BTN, HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT MAHATHIR?
I say you don't need to reinvent the wheel, Go back to the 1970s, Syllabus, Have National type primary schools, with english as a medium of education, those who want Malay as the medium of education than go to MALAY SCHOOLS, do it like what we had in the 1970s and 1980s.
Mahathir is the reason why our education system is messed up, He was the education minister who started the whole shebang slide down the slippery slope of dungu teachers and graduates. All this from his silly policies. Well whats so difficult, get teachers from India to teach in English, if those dungus in the ministry of education's will wake up than maybe we got a chance. LOOK AT SINGAPORE, WHY THEY CAN , WHILE WE CANNOT, is it the have something extra in their water?
- zozdaniel said...
I fully endosed the idea of eliminating Race Based Parties. By going on such path, then the principle of ONENESS can be achieved.
Whatever slogans, such as 1Malaysia will not have any meaning bdecause the First call for National Unity since independance has yet to be answered.
The national leaders just need to put their little finger to their heart and ask, DO WE REALLY WANT NATIONAL UNITY?
I for one thinks that all theser slogans are FAKE, BLOODY FAKE!!!
Just look at the speeches of our Ministers when attending the Non-Malay forums as compared to the case of forums in the presence of the Malays!!!
If national unity is to be followed through and true, since the days of national independance, why then do we have to REPEAT the call for national unity after 50 years?
Such inconsistencies and false pretense coming out from the mouth as compared to that ingrained inside the Racist brains have been the MAIN cause of the Fractioning Malaysian society.
Malaysia got so much to gain if the rakyats can be moulded into ONE, in persuing a truely common goal of pushing the nation for a truely develop nation from the efforts of the common people called Malaysians.
Now point that little finger in the direction of Najib, Mohideen, Hamidi and Hishamudin- look clearly into their face, ask yourself, do they really want a truely united Malaysians?
One stream with with English as the medium, Malay and Chinese as second languages - a resounding YES . (the Singaporean system)
With Malay as the medium, English as a second language and Chinese almost non-existent - a big NO !
The only way we will successfully have a single stream school is when we abolish race based politics. Children(irrespective of race) are being brought up to be racist both in their homes and also in school. So let stop pretending and ask ourselves whether we are willing to look at ourselves as Malaysian first.

Is it the chinese/indians who don't want to mix with malays or is it the other way round?
The above comment by Anon. 5:51 PM hits the nail right on the head which is why it is necessary to reproduce it here.
People can see from this very clearly, with no room for any further doubt, that it is the Malays themselves who strongly resist mixing with the other races.
Why is it that people from the early 50s and 60s can mix so freely with one another? We know we are different but no racial discrimination and slurs.
Nowadays racial polarization is the norm; hardly you can find school children of different races mixing with one another.
One of the reasons, I believe is the education system in the country. It sets to try to unite the people but truly has veered into ineffectiveness.
If the present powers at hand cannot perform then we should let the new coalition from the alternative government, take over the administration of the country and set all wrongs right.
The next GE is the best platform.
The claims that Singapore Government closed the vernacular schools and have a single school for all are completely wrong
1. Intake in chinese school started to drop drasticly when parents saw that ENGLISH education led to better jobs. The Singapore government only closed the chinese schools when enrollment became negligible. Nanyang Universdity was closed because with the feeder primary and secondary schools were no more. THERE WAS NO COMPULSION. The choice was by the parents.
2. There is NO SINGLE SYSTEM in Singapore. The Malays can and still choose to study in MADRASAHS. Only not too recently the goverment compelled them to teach English, Maths and Science in addition to religous lessons and Arabic. This was because madrasah graduates couldnt find jobs
In conclusion it was the parents who closed the chinese schools while even today the Malays can isolate themselves in Madrasahs
Ignore this corrosive fork tongued evil old man with the selective memory who was the single greatest destroyer of unity and racial integration in Malaysia. He served only his own agenda which was to stay in power at any cost. History will not be kind to him no matter what spin is put on his so called achievements by his apologists.maevo
He is not called "forked tongue" for nothing.
He is a master of deception.

The unity problem is created by politicians. The only solution to unity is to clean and wash up the brain of these politician.
- Alex said...
The question is will the matrikulasi, MARA, UITM and the other mono-ethnic schools of the Malays join the single stream education system? Why discriminate against Chinese and Tamil schools only? After all, nobody is stopping Malays and Indians from enrolling in Chinese schools.
Who is stopping Chinese and Indians from enrolling in matrikulasi, MARA, UITM, asrama sekolah? Racial discrimination and ketuanan Melayu special rights.
That said, can we even trust them to be fair in the single stream school? Even now, national schools alos everybody can see what is going on. No need for me to elaborate so long, since my father and relatives are all national school teachers, and they have a lot to say on the subject.
We'll leave it for another day. But mark my words, try to touch the Chinese and Indian schools and there will be widespread protests and instability. Don't stir the hornets nests. Don't question the constitution. (Nice to taste your own medicine, UMNO?)
As usual, this mamak has no shame and can't even see what he has done to the nation!
He can only point his finger out and does not see the rot on his three other fingers pointing to himself.
When is he going to drop dead and spare us his torment once and for all?
Malaysia is really cursed with this mamak born into this country. We would have been many many times better off without his 22 years of mismanagement, corruption and pretence.

"When is he going to drop dead and spare us his torment once and for all?"
Yes, I'm in full agreement with this Anonymous's sentiments of MM.Don't you just wish he'll have a HA yesterday!
On hindsight and with so much more information than we had in the past, this MM has actually done more irreparable damage to this country after just over 2 decades of his rule than the combined rules of the Portuguese,Dutch or British has ever done to Malaya or Sabah and Sarawak in the past.
God must save this country by putting him away for good.
The Chinese have got the Chinese Immigrant Schools and the Malays have got the Malays special rights or privileges for accepting the Chinese Immigrants to become the citizen of Malaysia (other countries?..Hell their people will grant citizenship to Immigrants THAT EASILY)....
Now the Malays do not want or are forced to revoke the Malay special rights or privileges, in return the Chinese's citizenship should also be revoked! No more becoming Malaysian, no more schooling in Malaysia, no more having whatsoever rights in Malaysia..GO BACK TO THE LAND WHERE YOUR FOREFATHERS HAD BEEN DISOWNED AND STARVED TO DEATH, AND THAT LAND IS CALLED CHUNG GUO!

10/07/2012 7:04 PM - GRAND RAPIDS GRIFFINS 4 at Lake Erie Monsters 2
Oct. 7, 2012
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The Grand Rapids Griffins completed their preseason schedule on Sunday with a 4-2 win over the Lake Erie Monsters at the University of Michigan's Yost Ice Arena, avenging Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Monsters in Toledo.
The Griffins secured the win by scoring three times in the third period, with Jordan Pearce claiming the victory behind 27 saves.
A scoreless opening period was marked by periodic rough play from both sides. Seven minutes in, Lake Erie's Patrick Bordeleau slammed Trevor Parkes into the boards from behind, sparking a scrum that eventually saw Gleason Fournier join Bordeleau in the penalty box.
Later in the period, after Triston Grant sent the Monsters' Mitchell Heard flying with a hard check inside the Grand Rapids line, Grant quickly took down Ben Wilson in a fight in front of the Griffins' bench.
Grand Rapids' Chad Billins scored the game's first goal and gave the Griffins their first lead of the preseason during a power play at 7:57 of the second, collecting an errant clearing pass in the high slot and whipping a shot past Calvin Pickard for an unassisted tally.
The Griffins nearly made it 2-0 with 4:40 left in the frame. During a flurry around the Monsters' net, goalie Kent Patterson lost track of a loose puck that sat tantalizingly behind him in the crease, but Karl Stollery pulled down Louis-Marc Aubry before he could get his stick on it. It proved to be a wise move by the Lake Erie defenseman, as the Griffins did not capitalize on the ensuing power play.
After beginning the second period with two minutes of power play time, the Griffins started the third with a 1:21 advantage, but again they couldn't put it to use. That failure proved costly at the 2:25 mark, when a crashing Tyson Barrie put a juicy rebound past Pearce from the slot to make it 1-1. That marked the Monsters' first goal in a span of 90:33 over two nights, after Lake Erie had scored three goals in 10:47 early in Saturday's contest.
Parkes, though, put Grand Rapids ahead 2-1 by scoring on all fours from just outside the paint, as he redirected Fournier's centering pass from the left side at 10:20. At 15:12, Willie Coetzee sniped a shot into the top corner from the right circle that was confirmed as a goal after a short officials' huddle.
Lake Erie's Paul Carey slammed home a rebound to make it 3-2 with 1:28 left, but with the Griffins shorthanded and the Monsters' net empty in the final minute, Brendan Smith's shot went the length of the ice and across the goal line with five seconds left for the final margin.
The Griffins, who completed their first preseason slate since 2005 with a 1-1 record, will open their 17th regular season this weekend at Van Andel Arena, hosting the Milwaukee Admirals on Friday, Oct. 12 at 7 p.m. and the Hamilton Bulldogs on Saturday, Oct. 13 at 7 p.m.
Notes: Gustav Nyquist, Riley Sheahan, Tom McCollum, Brian Lashoff, Jeff Hoggan and Brennan Evans were the Griffins' scratches…The game marked a Yost homecoming for Griffins forward Luke Glendening, whose four-year career at Michigan concluded last season with his second season in the captain's "C"…A night after the Griffins were the home team in a game played in the Monsters' home state, Grand Rapids was the visiting team at Yost.

The colossally expensive Güneydoğu Anadolu Projesi (GAP), or Southeastern Anatolia Project, was begun in 1974 with the aim of improving economic conditions in Turkey's impoverished southeast. Centred on the massive Atatürk Dam, the fourth largest in the world, the US$32 billion scheme has diverted waters from the Euphrates and Tigris to irrigate vast swathes of previously barren land and generate much-needed hydroelectric power.
In terms of the local benefits of GAP, the improvement to agriculture is apparent from the main road. Eastwards from Gaziantep, new pistachio and olive plantations flourish, and cotton is being grown around Harran. While this has benefited large landowners able to secure state bank loans to buy fertilizer and machinery, however, smaller farmers have seen few improvements. Many have given up agriculture altogether and migrated to the cities to work as unskilled labourers.
Environmentalists point out the scheme's other pitfalls, including local climate change caused by evaporation from the reservoirs; depletion of the soil from the overuse of artificial fertilizers; the lowering of the water table; and severe loss of habitat for wildlife.
The region's archeological heritage has been hit, too. While some artefacts have been painstakingly excavated and relocated – note especially the wonderful finds from Zeugma now on display in Gaziantep – much has vanished forever beneath the waters.

45% increase in productivity
Unipart realised a 45% increase in productivity for a global financial services company. The area of the business: the customer complaints resolution process. The client's goal: 15%. Unipart exceeded the target by reducing non-value added steps by 80%.
25% increase in productivity
Unipart improved productivity by an average of 25% for the National Insurance Contributions Office, with one area of the organisation hitting 145%. How? Unipart redesigned two processing areas and developed a program to dramatically improve 3000 employees' performance and customer service.
Treating more patients, earning more revenue
With Unipart's help, the Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Trust created 2,800 extra outpatient slots. With redesigned processes and teams now working together, the Trust's improved productivity also realised a 35% increase in activity that provided £1m of additional revenue.
From 1.5 days to 1.5 hours
A productivity increase that saw product generated in 1.5 hours instead of 1 ½ days. That's what happened when Unipart worked with a power generation design company. Using Unipart Way techniques and training designers to map the processes and identify quality checks, Unipart enabled the client to produce their product faster and error-free.
40% increase in productivity
Unipart improved productivity by 40% for an airport operator's Business Support Centre in just 3 months – exceeding the target of 20%. Unipart gave staff a new way of working while establishing a dedicated team trained and empowered to provide immediate solutions to problems.
The changes significantly improved employee engagement, as marked by a dramatic reduction in days lost to absence and sickness.
From 36 hours to 4
Unipart helped a global pharmaceutical company reduce their materials lead time from warehouse to production time by 32 hours. Facing pricing pressures from emerging markets, the company needed to find productivity gains. Unipart's tools and lean techniques cut their lead times while reducing returns to warehouse from production by 60%.
Major improvements for Southern Railway
Southern Railway manage 157 railway stations from London to the South coast. They provide 2284 services a day delivering 447,000 passenger journeys. When they determined that they needed a structured methodology to improving their business they approached Unipart Expert Practices. As a result, they achieved the highest ever levels of class 377 fleet availability, reduced the number of units out of traffic by 23%, and reduced major exam leadtime by 52%.
Unipart improved productivity by 25% for a leading car parts supplier when it came to fulfilling Service Level Agreements. Unipart worked with front-line staff to identify best practice and areas for improvement. A pilot site allowed solutions to be trialled and perfected, and employees to try new ways of working before roll out to the wider network. A new culture emerged, reflected in the 89% improvement in customer satisfaction.
Unipart recovered 3.5 hours a week of wasted time, boosting productivity in distribution operations. Roll cages – essential in any distribution operation -- are specific to the client. With 133 clients, identifying the right roll cage for the job was eating away at productivity. By using a new process and visual management tool, the distribution team cut that time by 90%.
Why this combination? We believe that these areas of expertise provide the skills, technologies and markets for continued growth. The Group provides a wide range of different business support services to different sectors, but they all have a common factor - they are all designed to help improve productivity for our customer's performance.

This story stuck out to me because it was less narrative and more reflective than any of the other DST samples I found in my first exploration through the genre. Like many other digital stories I've seen, this is basically composed of photos and voiceover, but the almost abstract photos and dead-serious voice tone immediately told me that I was seeing something more cerebral than the other DST clips I had been finding.
Okay, maybe this story is a little pretentious. The meaning is not immediately apparent, and took me several views to understand. The narration is essentially a story about thinking you understand something that appears on the wall – a footprint left by someone relaxing against it – but not really understanding its true meaning until later. At least, that is my interpretation. I'm not sure how exactly the lessons of Inconsequential Moments extends to my life, because the tale is simultaneously dense and sparse. In any case, I just enjoy the fact that Burns cared to record a few thoughts – the thoughts that come out of being in a certain place in a certain time and reading and seeing certain things.
Technically, I also really like the way that the film is assembled. Beginning at the credits, I like the layout of title and author and the chosen font. The fade-in and fade-out of each photo give the piece a sense of symmetry. In the last few seconds, the pace of this fading is increased to create a sense of accelerating tension. But that soon ceases at a quickly arrived-at climax. The story is over in about 100 seconds – quite economic. My main technical complaint is that the voiceover volume level dips about 2/3 of the way through. This makes it especially difficult for the viewer, who is busy making sense of the story without having to turn up the volume or rewind.

The UK government is making a run at the record books, but
not a very positive one. Britain's government, plagued by bureaucratic
fumblings, is setting new records in how many citizens' personal data one
country can manage to lose. Last month there was news of a record setting loss of 25
million citizen's records, which were sent in the mail by CD and
mysteriously vanished. "Catch Me If You Can" criminal legend
Frank Abagnale publicly suggested that someone had purposefully plotted to
steal the data, which included bank records, and succeeded -- due to Britain's
lax security.
Now the UK officials are twiddling their thumbs and awkwardly trying to put a
positive spin on the latest shocking development; they have managed to
lose another 3 million citizens' data.
Britain's bureaucratic system electronically stores records for learner
drivers, including information on their vehicle, name, address, and other
personal information. Much of this information was privately contracted
for storage to a facility in Iowa, in the United States. This facility
revealed to government officials in May that it had lost a single hard disk,
which contained over 3 million records. The UK's Transport Secretary Ruth
Kelly, in turn, sat on this information and did not reveal it to Britain's
Parliament until this week.
She issued a short public apology, referencing fears of possible identity theft
that the victims of this latest bumble may endure, saying, "I apologize
for any uncertainty or concern that these individuals may experience."
Fortunately no banking or credit card info is included in the records, however,
a malicious party could use the information to apply for credit cards and
commit identity theft on a massive scale.
The loss is seen in Britain as another major embarrassment to British Prime
Minister Gordon Brown, and the Labor Party (LP), who are struggling with public
antipathy. The Conservative party is seizing the issue as a further means
to attack the struggling LP and build a lead into coming elections.
Security remains an increasingly hot topic, as everyone from nuclear plant
officials to everyday citizens continue to show a lack of savvy for protecting
themselves online. Between lax
data and network management procedures at government and business
facilities, to users
giving up personal information for an abstract sense of "trust",
the greatest
threat to public and government security is not some malicious hacker, but
the users and officials themselves.
Britain is seeing the catastrophic consequences of this
ignorance, but it is unlikely to be alone as users struggle to separate real
threats from fiction and safeguard themselves in the 21st century digital

Floating Maximally Many Boats: A Preference for the Broad Distribution of Market Benefits
Andrew Askland
Arizona State University (ASU) - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
Journal of Business Ethics, Vol. 40, p. 91, 2002
Market economics can overreach and reduce all human activities to market-governed activities. More than a market-inspired explanation for human activities, it offers a normative account of how all goods and services should be distributed by private parties negotiating mutually agreeable terms. This paper argues that market values and practices are constrained by other fundamental values and practices. Liberal values are generally consistent with, though they are not reducible to, market values. Democratic and egalitarian values often contrast with market values. The distribution of market benefits should accommodate those democratic and egalitarian values which constitute a polity's core commitments (and those core commitments need to be reasserted regularly). Indeed, market stability depends upon a general distribution of its benefits. Incentives to productive activity entail inequalities, but the terms of those inequalities are subject to review. Internal refinements to specific markets can reduce inequalities by promoting the fairness of market operations and by increasing the number of effective participants.

Wednesday, October 2, 2013
Scenario: A lovely autumn day. Husband and wife are heading out to run errands. They switch the TV to Animal Planet for the dog, lock the door and go. As they walk down the steps, wife hands husband the car keys.
Surveys show that when couples travel together, about 75 percent of the time hubby drives. Unless it's my husband, who insists on driving 99.9 percent of the time, even in my car.
Widdle Baby would rather scrub grout with a 104-degree fever than let me drive. Once, from behind the wheel, he actually said, "I'm a better driver than you." Then he didn't understand why I got mad and refused to look at a cornfield he got lost in at age four.
I only "get" to drive on long trips, when he has interstate overload and starts to twitch and foam at the mouth. Then he heaves a desperate sigh, coasts into a rest stop, moves to the passenger side and reclines the seat so he won't have to watch me careen into the median or drive into the side of an oil tanker.
This attitude infuriates me. In 52 years I've never had a wreck that was my fault, except once I sneezed at a traffic light and tapped the Toyota in front of me. The guy just waved and laughed, so it was no big deal. Thank God, because—I'm not making this up—he was dressed as a clown and I am terrified of clowns. If he'd stepped out of his car I'd have died before he reached my window.
Widdle also says I don't keep my car clean enough. Sometimes, he even complains that it smells funny. I admit my ride is often littered with library books, newspapers, bills, magazines, plastic bags, empty vials of dog medicine and hairy blankets. This is because I like going to the library, enjoy reading newspapers and magazines, go to the post office daily and constantly take the dog to the vet. See? There's a reason for it all.
But two weeks ago, I decided to surprise Widdle. I had my car detailed at the dealership. Three hours and $35 later, I drove off in a vehicle that gleamed inside and out. Widdle was thrilled. I even left the paper floor mats down for a week.
Until last Sunday…
We were driving down Central Avenue, headed to the drug store. I was reading a church bulletin and Widdle was chatting idly. A split-second later he hit the brakes to avoid a truck that stopped suddenly up ahead. Our car swerved sharply and jolted to a screeching halt... and a small projectile shot from under the back seat into the passenger floorboard.
I didn't make a sound. I never do when I'm scared. "Man, that was close!" Widdle exclaimed.
I fixed him with a deadly look and blurted, "What the @&#$ is that by my foot?"
The object on the paper mat was… furry. And shrunken. And a weird bronze color.
I raised my feet and kept them raised until we reached the drug store, where we peered at the gnarled object again.
It was, without a doubt… a petrified potato.
My husband cracked up. "I told you something smelled funny!" he hooted. That potato had been wedged under the back seat since my last grocery run weeks ago. Even the auto detailer hadn't seen it.
Widdle chortled as he wadded the wizened tater up in the paper floor mat and tossed it in a garbage can.
Let him laugh--now I have another excuse not to grocery shop.

For me Hayward is a classic "Sell High" type. Good, but not going to be a star level player.
I do think that Hayward has been used the wrong way. Three years of Jefferson is going to derail anyone's career.
I keep going back to KLove as an extreme example of this. Also, DWill struggled with Jeffy and he is an all-star/Olympian/all-NBA type talent. Don't you think that there might be some truth to him being the reason that Hayward hasn't reached a higher level?
I think this is true for Millsap and of course Favors as well.
Cy is a Baker, he doesn't work fast food. Don't make that mistake, he doesn't like it.
Gordon Hayward's problem is not Al, or Ty, it's Gordon Hayward. He'll wind up being slightly better than Jared Dudley and never get to AK's level no matter how he's used.
And, whether he's being used correctly or whether he has a lot of room to grow are two very debatable questions. For your part, you've been under-selling (as well as with Kanter) whilst also (correctly) hammering the offense. I don't think you can do both with the info you have access to. Imo.

anti-cakk bakking... from the outset. #cakks&pies
Hayward has been looking better this year. He is rebounding more, creating more, getting to the line more and still playing respectable defense. He just hasn't had a game where he does all of this at the same time.
If he Jazz get rid of the low block offense I see Hayward thriving and putting together better games. I do think his shooting percentages will suffer though.

By far one of the best forms of underwear. It is small, with strings going around the hips, a small piece of cloth in the back, and cloth in the front. Many girls wear them, useful in preventing "Panty Lines" from coming through when they wear tight pants. Also, a huge turnon for guys when girls bend over, and they pop up about the pants.

If Twitter buzz is to be believed, the soulful singer will follow up the success of 2008's 19 and 2011's 21 with the aptly titled 25, continuing her tradition of naming albums by her age.
She celebrated her 26th birthday Monday, but Adele sparked fan fervor the day before with a selfie and a Tweet.
"Bye bye 25 … See you again later in the year x," she wrote, posting a photo of her lying in bed and giving a thumbs up sign.
Her return would be a welcome one: Adele nabbed six Grammys for 21 and dominated the radio with hits like "Rolling in the Deep." Since then, she's been busy raising son Angelo, 1½.
But in January, Phil Collins suggested she'd be back in the spotlight soon, telling Inside South Florida he was working on writing songs with Adele.
"I live in a cave, but she's achieved an incredible amount," the musician reportedly said. "I really love her voice."
And don't expect any sad songs like "Someone Like You" on 25: In 2012, Adele told Vogue her next album (after a well-deserved recording break) would have a happier tone.
"I'm never writing a breakup record again, by the way," she said. "I'm done with being a bitter witch."

NEW CUMBERLAND-The auction of Newell Memorial Stadium is back on track now that the Hancock County school board has agreed to sell the property to the highest bidder.
The board voted 3-2 on Monday to accept Superintendent Suzan Smith's recommendation to sell the football field at auction at 10 a.m. Oct. 25, a Thursday. The board set the minimum bid at $250,000.
The vote came about a month after the board's 3-2 rejection on Sept. 10 of Smith's original proposal for the stadium sale. Board members who changed their vote-Jerry Durante and Toni Hinerman-said their conditions for the sale had been met to their satisfaction.
The only board member to change her vote from a "yes" to a "no," Laura Greathouse, said she did so because she felt the district should have accepted an offer from the city of Chester to buy the stadium for $250,000.
"If we can keep it in the community and still have the money that we need, then that's enough for me," Greathouse said. "I will not vote for an auction when (the community) might not get it."
Last week, Chester City Council authorized Mayor Ken Morris to make an offer to the school board at Monday's meeting. Morris was unable to attend the meeting because of a work commitment that required him to be out of state.
But Smith read a letter dated Oct. 5 that claimed to be a formal offer from the city of Chester to buy the stadium. The offer involved the city acting as a "middle man" between an anonymous private donor and the school district, Morris said last week. The Chester Volunteer Fire Department would then reimburse the donor and take possession of the property, keeping it in community hands, Morris said.
The school board took no action on the Chester offer Monday night, instead opting for the auction under rules slightly revised from Smith's previous proposal. The vote was: Durante, Hinerman and Patsy Brancazio for the auction; Greathouse and John Manypenny against the auction.
Durante, board president, said the board couldn't consider Chester's offer because it wasn't on the agenda. "I didn't think it was timely," he said. "I can't just turn around and let that property go on this kind of (short) notice."
Durante voted against Smith's previous proposal because he, like Manypenny, felt its insistence on a lump-sum payment unnecessarily limited the field of prospective buyers.
In the meantime, the board checked with its legal counsel, Richard Boothby of the Bowles Rice law firm, and learned that it cannot accept payments for the stadium, Durante said. "It has to be one lump sum," he said.
Durante said he also was not convinced that the Chester offer was completely legal. "There are two things I worry about: I'm hyper over making sure we're legal ... and what is best for the Hancock County school system, aside from any public pressure."
Among those applying pressure on the board to accept Chester's offer Monday night were members of the Newell Community Improvement Coalition. For the third time in as many months, coalition Treasurer Sue Thompson told the board it should not opt for an auction of the stadium.
"We're fearful as to what's going to happen" if the stadium ends up in private hands, Thompson said.
But Hinerman said there's nothing preventing Morris, the Chester mayor, from bidding on the 4.25-acre property at the Oct. 25 auction.
The auction rules state:
* The auction will take place in the school board room, 104 N. Court St., New Cumberland (in the basement of the New Cumberland City Building);
* The property will go to the highest responsible bidder;
* 15 percent of the winning bid, by cash or personal check, is due on the day of the auction;
* The board will meet in special session on Oct. 29 to either approve or reject the winning bid;
* The balance must be paid, by cash or cashier's check, at the closing, which is 20 calendar days after the board approves the bid.

When she's not acting in blockbuster movies, writing best-selling cookbooks and raising two adorable low-carb children, Paltrow is busy looking absolutely gorgeous on red carpets around the world.
But not everything Gwyneth says and does requires an automatic critique. In fact, she's pretty on the mark when it comes to a few things (including her love of Oreos). Here are five reasons you secretly love her (and we do, too!):
1. She can really cook!
You made her fish taco recipe and they turned out surprisingly awesome.
2. She hates working out – who doesn't?
But! You bought all of Tracy Anderson's workout DVDs and even downloaded her playlist.
3. She's fashionable.
You're still obsessed with her Tom Ford dress from the 2012 Oscars (that cape!).
4. She has the funds to be fashionable.
You couldn't believe she recommended $150 sweatpants, but you'd totally buy them if you had her bank account.
5. She has fabulous friends.
Be honest, if you were besties with Jay-Z and Beyoncé you'd totally talk about it all the time too.

Unlock the variety of funding choices on our Assets to Give page.
Compare plans and see which come closest to your needs on our Which Gift Plan is Best? page.
Be sure to read through our Gift Acceptance Policy, as well.
This information is not intended as legal advice.
Please consult with a tax attorney to determine the best gift plan for you.
Planned giving is an area of fundraising that may be applied to several specific gift types that can be funded with cash, equities, or property. In the United States, specific rules of planned giving are defined by the U.S. Congress and the Internal Revenue Service.
Planned gifts are referred to as such because they require more planning, negotiation and counsel than an outright gift. Planned gifts involve an arrangement between a donor and a non-profit organization, like William Peace University, whereby the donor takes a partial tax deduction for the gift and often receives an income stream as a result of the gift.
Did you know...?
You don't have to use cash to make your gift.
- Donate appreciated securities instead. The deduction is the same as for a cash gift, plus you pay no capital gains tax on the transfer.
You can make WPU a partner in your giving.
- Deed us your home but continue to live there or sell us your property at a charitable discount.
Give an asset that may help us more than it's helping you.
- Examples include a life insurance policy whose coverage you or your family no longer needs, or real estate like a second home or parcel of undeveloped land, or even a collection of books or artwork that you no longer need to display.
You can make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime.
- Simply name William Peace University as the beneficiary of your will or irrevocable trust or even a retirement plan or insurance policy.

SEVEN SPRINGS, Pa. - Denny Watson said this years Mother Earth News Fair offered something for each member of his family.
The Clarion, Pa., man said his wife came to hear how Jenna Woginrich went from working an office job to homesteading and writing full time. His sons were all about the butterflies and moths program. His daughter arrived on Saturday ready to learn as much as she could about starting her own garden.
But for Watson, it quickly became all about the organic dog biscuits, handwoven brooms, gorilla glue and the non-detergent laundry ball.
"Hey, I love the vendors," he said. "I like to look, sample, sometimes even buy. I like having all this stuff in one place so I can really see what its all about. I like to shop."
For folks like Watson, the annual fair, which was held Friday through Sunday at Seven Springs Mountain Resort, provided an abundance of products from which to peruse. The fair, in its third year, is sponsored by Mother Earth News magazine and Seven Springs. This year the event featured 250 exhibitors, more than 200 workshops and 15 keynote speakers.
The event also offered several off-stage activities, a Farmers Olympics, a seed swap, childrens activities, a green shopping pavilion, vendor and livestock demonstrations, and local and organic food options.
Anna Weltz, a Seven Springs spokeswoman, said the fair was expanded from two days the previous two years to three days this year because of its growing popularity and attendee feedback.
Last year there were about 10,000 attendees. Weltz on Sunday estimated this year's attendance at 15,000.
"We appreciate the support for the annual Mother Earth News Fair and eagerly await a bigger and better fair next year," Weltz said. "Welcoming so many guests to our resort is an honor."
Each days thousands of people packed under the tents and inside conference rooms to learn more about herbs, energy alternatives, fermentation, organic fertilizers and other topics.
Some folks said they have attended the fair each year since it started and plan to attend again next year. First-timer Sherri Lee of Capon Bridge, W. Va. said her family has been reading Mother Earth News magazine for years and wanted to see first-hand what it's all about.
"It's like being here brings a lot of that information to life," she said. "We live a very simple life at our house. I've been canning for 29 years so I like to see more about gardens and canning, cooking, that sort of thing. I enjoy reading about it and seeing how much of that information I can put into practice myself."

Berkeley Board of Ed approves more than 25 retirement notices

You mean we can offer 500 bucks and 23 people will retire from the school system. If they are that stupid over 500 bucks, I say lets offer the school employees 1000 bucks each, get them all to quit and contract the education of our children out to the private sector who might be able to get the achievement scores up from the 3rd worst in the nation, where WV resides?

Triple shooting rocks Reading community
Reading police are trying to get to the bottom of a triple shooting that took place on the southside of Reading Friday night.
Just after 7:00 p.m., neighbors reported hearing gun shots coming from the 300 block of S. 17th Street in Reading.
"It sounded like fireworks, and a lady from across the street was yelling at the kids in the park, so I ran up to the park to try to help the kids get out the park," said Luis Perez.
"I heard was a bunch of cops come in. I just came outside and I heard somebody got shot," said Anthony Rodriguez.
Police confirmed that one person did suffer a gunshot wound to the chest.
Two other people suffered non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
At the crime scene, bloodied pieces of clothing could be seen left behind in the middle of the street.
At one point during the night police surrounded a home near 17th and Haak St. with their guns drawn.
The drama played out in front of neighbors who said they are fed up, and that this part of the city has turned into a war zone.
"My son got held up not too long ago. I got shot at a few months ago. I mean it's really bad," said Carlos Rodriguez.
"This is crazy because bullets ain't got no name, and it could have hit one of us, you never know, you know what I mean? That's how people get killed," said Levonia Stallings.
One of the shooting victims underwent surgery Friday night, police said.
Detectives said this case continues under investigation.
