LONDON, Aug. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the smart metering market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Cyan Technology ("Cyan") with the 2014 Europe Frost & Sullivan Award for Technology Innovation Leadership. Cyan collaborates with utilities, system integrators and meter manufacturers across the globe to develop cost-effective smart metering technologies that will aid energy providers and consumers alike. Its smart metering technology provides a feasible upgrade from automated meter reading ("AMR"), offering benefits such as collection of data through radio from walk-by devices, to full-scale advanced metering infrastructure ("AMI").
CyLec®, the standards-based smart metering solution developed by Cyan, is a highly efficient communication and control platform. The system enables secure two-way communication with significant range and penetration, and is equipped with data concentrator units with embedded software for the remote management and control of multiple meters.
CyLec® helps the utility to read each and every meter, ensuring the timely dispatch of bills, which translates to cost savings. CyLec® also aids timely fault detection and prevention, and allows utilities to disconnect meters from remote locations in cases of theft. Additionally, CyLec® facilitates the shifting of loads between industrial and domestic consumers during peak hours with the help of tools such as real-time Time of Use tariffs and incentives.
"CyLec® has already demonstrated its practicality in India and Brazil, and has proven to be compatible with the existing static meters in these countries," said Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Avimanyu Basu. "The retrofitting is achieved with the help of a compact retrofit module that connects with the existing communications interface on the meter."
In countries such as India, 25 percent to 30 percent of the generated power is lost during transmission and distribution, so optimizing the system by reducing losses can provide a significant boost to the economy. It will also allow utility companies to invest in the improvement of infrastructure, which will bring the outlying areas that are without service into the grid network. The company envisions that in the next five years, smart grid technology will help to address aggregate technical and commercial (AT&C) losses and completely eliminate load shedding.
Cyan is part of a consortium that provides the manufacturing and supply of 5,000 retrofit modules to Essel Utilities in India, each containing Cyan's CyLec® 865MHz RF device. Along with this, Cyan offers additional software and hardware support such as Data Concentrator Units, custom antennas, CyLec® Head End Server software licenses and onsite software implementation services. A similar consortium, led by Larsen & Toubro, has also been selected by Tata Power for the deployment of a Cyan based smart metering solution to 5,000 homes in Mumbai. These programmes will give significant impetus to the goal of deploying 130 million smart meters across India by 2021.
In the meter manufacturer market in various emerging economies, systems with incongruent communication protocols are not appropriate for data transmission through a wireless network. In this scenario, Cyan's smart metering technology is a welcome tool. It supports interoperability by enabling meters from various manufacturers and suppliers to be integrated into an 'open system'. The Open Meter Protocol can be customized to the requirements of the local utilities and support real-time monitoring through wireless mesh networks.
"The company has directed its efforts toward providing solutions in the most cost-effective way, with the help of effectual demand forecasting, demand-side management and accurate billing," noted Basu. "Cyan's efforts will go a long way in helping end users accrue cost savings through its meter retrofit solution, and utilities reduce AT&C losses."
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has demonstrated uniqueness in developing and leveraging new technologies, which significantly impacts both the functionality and the customer value of the new products and applications. The award lauds the high R&D spend towards innovation, its relevance to the industry and the positive impact on brand perception.
Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.
About Cyan
Cyan is an integrated system design company based in Cambridge, UK. It provides a communication platform that enables the measurement and control of energy consumption for the metering and lighting markets, helping to reduce energy losses. Cyan's wireless mesh networking platform offers 'last mile' connectivity between millions of devices and enterprise software, supporting bilateral communications with the end customer. For more information, please visit www.cyantechnology.com.
About CyLec®
CyLec is a complete control and communication network for electricity metering. CyLec uses wireless technology to enable the collection and delivery of data from and to a meter, such as energy profiles, instant readings and the sending of tariff updates. Priority data can also be sent back to the utilities such as information regarding tampering enabling the utility to take action immediately.

Choosing the right cloud for your workloads is a balancing act that can cost your organization time, money and aggravation - unless you get it right the first time. Economics, speed, performance, accessibility, administrative needs and security all play a vital role in dictating your approach to the cloud. Without knowing the right questions to ask, you could wind up paying for capacity you'll never need or underestimating the resources required to run your applications.

Last week week while driving around exploring places for dinner around Klang Parade surrounding, we chanced upon a newly opened Thai restaurant by the name of Mae Porn Tom Yum Goong located just by the road next to the mall, and since Thai cuisine has always been one of our favorites, we went in to take a look.
On first look I already have a positive feeling about the place. The almost-kopitiam style restaurant is air conditioned, clean, and with the parts of the walls filled with racks of Thai groceries. There were also staffs happily chatting in Thai language. Unlike Japanese restaurants with local staffs greeting you in the only line of Japanese language they know, over here they use Thai as their native language to communicate, not to give you a false sense of authenticity.
chicken feet salad, nam tuk, prawn salad
Anyway, the "menu" they have is a bunch of photos on the wall (look below), with many dishes cater to individuals, but there are also those for sharing. Each priced at between RM 6-8, great value for money even for Klang.
We've visited this place twice now and came away really satisfied.
For salads we've tried yam leb meu nang (chicken feet salad, RM 7), nam tuk (pork salad, RM 7), and yam goong (prawn salad, RM 8). Strong seasoning and definitely appetite opening, they go well with rice as well. The only "issue" we may have is that the chicken feet were cut in bigger chunks than what we're used to so that took a bit of getting used to.
tom yam, kuey chap, moo ping (grilled pork satey)
The tom yam goong (RM 8) may not have big prawns or loaded with big chunks of seafood but certainly tasted every bit a bowl of authentic tomyam should.
We also tried their kuey chap (RM 7) and opted with no noodle since we had it with rice, the pork was tender and of course they also serve coagulated pork blood, a definite plus.
Lastly, moo ping (RM 3 per stick) certainly makes for good beer food, as any properly seasoned and grilled fatty pork should.
We're certainly going to be back for more, the second trip already seen the place being filled pretty good with customers, I think it's here to stay. Give it a try if you love some good authentic Thai food that also serves pork. Other alternatives are Go Thai SS2, Lai Thai seksyen 17 (changed name since), and Surasit TTDI.

While this space mainly showcases our food adventures from local hawker fare to some of the higher end fine dining establishments, believe it or not we do actually do a lot more than just eat.
hiking at Penang hill
In a bit to get healthy and stay active, getting a good sweating session is always welcomed. When we were in Penang we took the opportunity to take a hike up to Penang hill via the moon gate trail to #5 station. Somehow got lost along the way and spent 3 hours on some less travelled trail, good fun. This is partly in preparation for our upcoming Gunung Kinabalu hike, which I think will be plenty of fun.
Since we're not exactly young-lings anymore, it is also in our best interest to have a better journey to wellness. While exercise is an important portion, choosing a healthy diet is also rather important. We cook more often at home, and sometimes do choose a healthier option while eating out.
Being available for your loved ones for the long haul is also about staying healthy and protected.
Then of course, there's the third and often overlooked point – being financially stable and ready for any unexpected events.
We're fortunate enough to be in the middle income group and basically be able to afford everything we need, and some of the things we want, but adding a little bit of financial preparedness never hurt.
For some of you who may be in similar shoes like us, check out Zurich FlexiLife Plus.
Additionally, head to Zurich Insurance Malaysia FB page, there's a little game in which you can play to stand a chance and win a grand prize of RM 4000 travel voucher + RM 1000 cash allowance. There're also other prizes such as 2 iPhone 6s, 2 Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, and 3 Fitbit Charge HR wristband (I am currently using one!).

In the meantime, stay healthy and grow well!
Let's continue with another Klang bak kut teh review since I said I was going to make it a bit of a mission to go to as many different bak kut teh in Klang as possible. So here's BB Bak Kut Teh Garden at Bandar Baru Klang, located close to Bukit Raja Jusco and one of our favorite tai chao places in the area – Da Tuan Yuan.
BB bak kut teh garden, Bandar Baru Klang
BB bak kut teh garden often have moderate to even rather low review, and personally I think a lot of it has to do with how the place looks like. The setting is almost like a modern food court, with pictures, banners, and a menu that illustrates the price and exactly what you'll be getting very clearly. This runs in contrast to most old school BKT places that expect you already know what you want.
Additionally, they also serve some non-BKT dishes, such as steamed fish, fried vegetable tofu, sea cucumber, and so forth. All of which gives this place a "less authentic" look.
kahwan, and intestine in claypots, all finished
But to be perfectly honest, I actually found the BKT pretty decent. A bowl (RM 10.50) or clay pot (RM 12.50) is right around the average asking price, though some reviews may suggest that this place is a little more expensive than others.
On our visit I had kahwan (right around the leg joint with plenty of fat & tendon) and intestine. They were properly tender and the soup too had a strong herbal flavor, tho perhaps not as complex tasting as some. I actually enjoyed it.
BKT meal, I'm happy
So don't let the look of a place fools you. If a BKT place can survive in Klang, they're usually pretty capable when it comes to taste. If you keep an objective mind, you'll often not be disappointed.

Ever since we moved to Shah Alam, Setia City Mall has became our go-to shopping mall for movies and access to certain brands that we like, since it is basically the closest decent shopping center to us.
Now Haze will complain that I am one of the most insufferable person when it comes to choosing for food in malls as I usually prefer old-school eateries, but for this place, we've found a perfect venue that satisfy both of us – at Mr. Tuk Tuk
Mr. Tuk Tuk, the place we dined most often at Setia City Mall
Located at the lower ground level, Mr. Tuk Tuk is a rather small fast serving restaurant that offers Thai food. At first glance, it doesn't look particularly "authentic" or fancy, just another one of cookie cutter mid price range sort of eatery. But look closer, and you'll notice that the workers are mostly Thai, and the place is almost always packed.
tuk tuk noodle, fried chicken wing, beef salad
Most dishes here are catered for individual consumption, with a few "center plate" style suitable for sharing. Most dishes hovers around RM 7.80 to RM 10.80, very reasonable in a shopping mall setting.
For noodle lovers, their pad thai (RM 7.80) is one of the best I've tried in Malaysia, packed a punch and beautifully presented too. They also offer glass noodle and "tuk tuk noodle" which is similar to boat noodle (but actually filling) at the same price.
set meal, pad thai, beef salad, tomyam
Tomyam fried rice (RM 7.80) and pineapple fried rice (RM 9.80) were very decent choices as well, both tasted strong and properly seasoned. Then there's other classic Thai single-dishes like basil chicken and basil beef (RM 9.80 each) if you feel like having steamed rice.
We also always order something to share as well. Tomyam and tom kha (chicken RM 7.80 to seafood 10.80) will not disappoint any Thai food lover, but if you want something out of the ordinary, try their beef salad (RM 10.80), slices of very lightly cooked beef marinated in a sort of sourish seasoning that is also littered with plenty of chili padi. It is very strong, spicy, and absolutely delicious.
red ruby, steam sotong, tom kha, thai honey chicken
If you're at Setia City Mall or anywhere near it, give this place a try. I hope they open up branches at other places as well. Good Thai food is always welcomed in my book!

One of my favorite hawker style comfort foods is kuih teow soup. Back in Penang, this is a rather ubiquitous dish that you can in just about any kopitiam or food court. However, in Klang Valley, pork noodle seems to take center stage to fill this niche instead. Which can be a good/bad thing depending on your preference.
The situation in Klang is a little bit different, and I suppose due to the prevalent of bak kut teh which already heavily involves the usage of pork as an ingredient in a dish that involves soup, pork noodle is quite rare, and probably as a side effect, there are some kuih teow soup places instead, such as Restoran Berkeley Sua Teng at Taman Berkeley which I happily discovered just recently.
kuih teow soup, hawker style comfort food
The almost kopitiam style restaurant offers the usual kuih teow soup, curry version, dry version, with rice, and a few other side dishes.
We tried their plain old fashion kuih teow soup which came with bouncy home-made fish balls, fish cake, tofu skin, and a slice of vege. The ingredients may be slightly different from the version I love in Penang, it does still tastes very light and balanced, comforting and perfect for when you're looking for something light.
fish cake, fuchuk, and suikao, complete with kampong koh chili sauce
For side dishes, we tried their fish cake, sui kao, and tofu skin. These were all deep fried and served with one of the best chili sauce you can get – naturally from Kampong Koh! A satisfying lunch for sure, and I won't hesitate to go back there again.

Could there be such a thing?
By "vibrant" I expect they mean "worship bands" and CCM "music" and holographic images and lights. Reminds me of the old discotheques.
Security arrangements? What security arrangements?
Daniel Pipes wrote:Summary: The establishment â law enforcement, officials, the media, and academics â has shied away from seeing this violence as jihadi. Why? First, officialdom wants to assure Muslims that it is not biased against them. They worry that being perceived as anti-Islam will inspire even more alienation and violence. Second, officials want to avoid the many implications of focusing specifically on violence by Muslims, which upsets the modern liberal ethos. These motives are worthy but wrong headed. Common safety and the survival of Western civilization both require those in positions of authority candidly to inform the public about the nature of Muslim-on-non-Muslim violence, and then the press to report on it.
What is even more interesting is that Daniel is one of the few people who think there are moderate Muslims.
There's nothing stopping you from writing in Senator Ben Sasse's name for President on your ballot -- a much better choice than Trump.
Go read --all-- of Phil's article,
Phil Johnson wrote:...Americaâs moral decline has accelerated dramatically since evangelicals became politically aggressive in the late 1970s....they have been remarkably ineffective when it comes to using politics to reverse Americaâs moral and spiritual decline. In fact, if you measure their success or failure according to their own stated political ambitions, evangelicals have failed spectacularly in Americaâs political arena. Over the past quarter-century, they have not accomplished any of their long-term legislative or constitutional goals....
Putting aside the idea, Christian Zionists: The Real Terrorists, here is an article by a Muslim, who thinks Islamic countries are acting irrationally, http://tinyurl.com/z9qc2hv (Why doesnât the Muslim world recognize Israel?).
Oh, and the Balfour Declaration was considered a pivotal document in establishing a homeland in what was always really theirs.
Here's another question that never gets a straight answer:
Why must you bring up immodesty ad nauseam?
9 times out of ten the thread you start this up in has nothing to do with it. Does the NBA even have cheerleaders? 'Cause I didnt even think they did. I'm against immodesty as much as next guy, and even agree with you that Christians are better off not watching the NFL, but I do not agree with constantly shoving it down everyone's throat.
I don't wish to be mean, but you really are hung up on this particular sin.

FZ200 - Vertical dark bars on image…faulty sensor?
Sep 11, 2013
The other day I photographed a sunset using bracketing +-2. The -2 image here has dark vertical areas in various parts (highlighted). Does this indicate there is a problem with the sensor. The +2 and 0 images seemingly don't show this darkening. As the camera is less than a year old it is under warranty. Is it time to send to Panasonic?

Whicker: Mayweather is pure money
LAS VEGAS – Everybody complains about the Mayweather, but nobody can do anything about it.
He made his annual visit to a competitive boxing ring Saturday night and, for an estimated $32 million, turned his opponent into scenery.
Oh, Robert Guerrero knew Floyd Mayweather was there. He received enough hard right hands in the face, including a titanic shot in the eighth round that awakened the restless customers in MGM Grand Garden Arena.
But, as usual, Mayweather was the master and commander of this welterweight fight, and for the 44th time in 44 fights he was the winner, by identical scores of 117-111 by the three judges. Even that seemed generous, since it gave Guerrero three rounds.
"I feel bad I couldn't give the fans a knockout but I hurt my right hand," Mayweather said. "It's swollen right now."
Guerrero did require some figuring out by Mayweather. He is a rugged, 30-year-old lefty with lots of will and durability. He also is a legitimate welterweight who had bullied Andre Berto in his previous fight.
Early on, Guerrero grabbed Mayweather whenever he could, then waited for Mayweather to miss one of those rights and was ready to counter. For an instant one could see it working. Mayweather glared intently at Guerrero when the first round expired.
But, as always, Mayweather refused to miss enough punches, especially after he measured Guerrero and discovered the best angles. It took him approximately three rounds.
It wasn't the magic show that Mayweather displayed against Juan Manuel Marquez or Shane Mosley or Oscar De La Hoya. But then he hadn't fought for a year, had to build himself back up after a 90-day jail sentence, and is, after all, 36 years old.
"He slipped a lot of punches," Guerrero said. "He's a great fighter, like we all know. He hit me with some great body shots and that's why he's undefeated. He's slick. He's better than I thought."
Mayweather's defense still is there. Backing him into a corner and expecting to keep him there is like herding an exceptionally muscular cat.
But in his past few fights, Mayweather has become more of a sit-down puncher, as prescribed by his uncle Roger Mayweather, who ceded an active corner role to Floyd Mayweather Sr.
"I've got to give a lot of credit to my father," Mayweather said. "I needed him tonight, and he told me the less I got hit, the better. I realized after the (Miguel) Cotto fight that my defense had slipped, and I had to hone my skills."
"I thought Floyd did an excellent job," Floyd Sr. said. "Honestly he could have danced the whole fight, but he used his defense, and I told him to steal it with the right hand. That was the shot he (Guerrero) couldn't see."
Overall the card lacked the juice it had promised, although you couldn't hold Abner Mares responsible.
Mares moved up from bantamweight to featherweight, floored former champion Daniel Ponce De Leon, survived a rally by the southpaw in the middle rounds, and then floored him again and finished him in the ninth, improving his record to 26-0-1.
The real winner was manager Frank Espinoza, who has both fighters and was able to exhale for the first time all week. Thanks to the uncrossable DMZ that exists between Top Rank and Golden Boy, Mares' most promising fights can't be made, so he is likely to stay unbeaten approximately as long as Mayweather is.
The best news for boxing fans is that Mayweather is committed to five more fights during a 2 1/2-year span, which almost is hyperactive considering the Floyd has fought only six times since he beat De La Hoya six years ago today. The Rolling Stones tee it up more often than that.
But Mayweather has not said he will not retire at the end of that $200 million Showtime deal.
The fans whistled and booed in the 12th round as Mayweather went into full protection mode. He won't be able to surmount the ravages of the calendar any better than anyone else.
But it's still difficult to find somebody who can beat him. There is talk about Canelo Alvarez, who looked so vital in beating Austin Trout in San Antonio.
It's conceivable that Lucas Matthysse, the violent knockout artist from Argentina, could be an opponent if he gets past Lamont Peterson.
The true index of Mayweather's dominance is how few times he sends the fans home begging for a rematch.
Those conditions prevailed again Saturday. It might not be summertime for Mayweather anymore, but the money is easy.

Review 5 April 2010
A Study of Two Masters of English Prose
- The Same Man: George Orwell & Evelyn Waugh in Love and War by David Lebedoff. Random House (New York) 264 pp., 2008
Mere unthinking negative opposition to the current of events, clutching in despair at what we still retain, will not suffice in this age. A conservatism of instinct must be reinforced by a conservatism of thought and imagination.
Russell Kirk
We are pleased to announce the release of The University Bookman on Edmund Burke, now available for Kindle. Collecting 21 reviews, essays, and interviews from the Bookman on the life and thought of Edmund Burke, this book is only $2.99, and purchases support our ongoing work to provide an imaginative defense of the Permanent Things. (3 Mar 2015)
Congratulations to Bookman contributor Caleb Stegall, who was selected for a seat on the Kansas Supreme Court. We wish him all the best. (28 Dec 2014)
