Lean Six Sigma Logistics
principles of Chaku-Chaku
In this example, the operator walk around the cell and unloads-loads the machines (automatic or semi-automatic) in the order of sequences 1 to 6.
The principle of Chaku-Chaku is to design the layout of necessary machines and equipment in the order of the work sequence, the closest from one another as possible.
The operator loads the part to be processed and walks to the next machine, and so on. If the machines do not unload themselves automatically, unloading will remain part of operator's job.
The parts don't dwell anymore in front of the machines, neither are they moved in batches, but are processed in a streamline, with a drastic reduction of leadtime.
Another highlight of this approach is the full responsibility given to the work cell for the entire production cycle and therefore a better management of deliveries, quality and traceability.
The key to line or cell Chaku-Chaku efficiency is the synchronization between operations and the operator path, in order to maximize his occupation. The U shaped cell is very suitable for this usage.
Can MES Play a Lead Role?
by Stephanie Neil
Posted on Wednesday, February 06, 2008 2:50:50 PM
The criterion for selecting a manufacturing execution system has just changed. It used to be that if a company needed an application to schedule production, trace work in progress, or manage quality, the buying decision was based purely on software functions and price. Today, however, there's a new dimension that determines which MES software will take center stage: ERP alliances.
"We would not have selected a vendor that didn't have a relationship with SAP," says George Chappelle, CIO of Sara Lee Corp.
The reason? Pressure. External factors ranging from regulatory compliance, to global competition, to increasing customer demands are putting pressure on manufacturers to integrate internal operations so that everything runs like clockwork.
Sara Lee is under pressure from the FDA to implement a robust traceability system that can track materials and ingredients in case of a recall, for example. "In the food industry, traceability requirements are stringent today, and they'll be more stringent in the next three to five years," Chappelle says.
So, if Sara Lee's SAP ERP system is ordering raw materials, and its MES system, which is Siemens AG's SIMATIC IT, is consuming the materials, naturally the two must interface so that when something changes in one system, it is automatically reflected in the other. But these systems use data in very different ways. ERP is transactional; MES, on the other hand, works in real time. Aligning the two disparate systems to seamlessly share data in a global landscape can be a challenge. And Chappelle, like many CIOs, can't afford to have staffers spending valuable time doing the nuts-and-bolts integration work.
That's why, when Chappelle went searching for an MES system, he made at least one thing crystal-clear: "Our criterion was that the [MES and ERP] systems have technology integration," he says. And because Sara Lee already had SAP installed, it relied on Siemens to prove that the integration could be done — and done with no pain to Sara Lee.
Indeed, these days, it is up to the MES vendors to step up their integration efforts. ERP software vendors, such as SAP, Oracle Corp., and even Microsoft Corp., are already entrenched in user companies. These ERP companies have spent the past few years rebuilding technologies around Web services and composite applications that are flexible. So ERP is in a leading role and doesn't have to prove much to its manufacturing audience. Rather, it's time for the MES vendors to step into the corporate spotlight. The question is, can MES deliver a great performance?
It was only a few years ago that industry observers and plant managers, alike, described MES as "a mess" — the result of an unruly evolution that led to a complex, monolithic footprint requiring mass-customization. In fact, many companies, Sara Lee included, didn't even use commercial MES applications, but rather pieced together their own homegrown solutions.
Understanding the need to make MES a strategic part of the manufacturing enterprise, many MES vendors are gravitating toward a new manufacturing enterprise model that is based on industry standards and maps out in very specific terms how to connect production operations with business operations in order to meet corporate initiatives. In devising the model, MESA International, an industry organization, broke up the monolithic MES monster into value-added pieces that have a direct impact on whatever key business processes are important to the end user.
The hope is that MES will take on new meaning. " 'MES' is still a term that people recognize and can hang their hat on, but when you get down to specifics, it means different things to different people," says Matt Bauer, director of information software marketing at Rockwell Automation and chairman of MESA International.
MESA's collaborative plant-to-enterprise model focuses on functional areas, such as lean manufacturing, quality and regulatory compliance, PLM, the real-time enterprise, and enterprise asset management. These are all areas that have business impact versus the more technical functions — quality control, key performance indicator (KPI) measurements, and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) — that MES traditionally has performed.
"We are starting to talk about [MES] as manufacturing excellence applications that lay across the infrastructure," Bauer says. For the first time, MES is gaining recognition within the enterprise as a value-added application. "There is a lot of shakeout going on in our space now," he says. "The lines that used to be drawn between the enterprise and the plant level are history at this point."
May the Force Be with You
Erasing the line that has always stood between the plant and the enterprise requires a great force. In this case, that force is ERP.
Enterprise software vendors SAP and Microsoft are both members of MESA, working alongside major automation players, such as GE Fanuc, Invensys' Wonderware, Rockwell Automation, and Siemens, as well as large manufacturers, including Chevron, International Truck and Engine Corp., and Sara Lee. It's a community of alliances on a mission to redefine the role of manufacturing operations management within the enterprise, members say.
Manufacturing plants are significantly different in 2008 than they were in 1998, says Chris Colyer, worldwide solution director for manufacturing operations at Microsoft. The advent of Ethernet and wireless technology is exposing the plant to the corporate network. "That presents a huge opportunity to drive efficiency, better data models, and better collaboration across multiple plants and multiple time zones," Colyer says.
To get that scalability across the organization, a large number of MES players have built out solutions on .NET Web services under a partnership program with Microsoft. That same group is also lining up behind SAP to become NetWeaver-certified or to build composite applications based on SAP's xApp, Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (xMII).
SAP tried to break into the MES domain a few years ago and quickly realized it does not have the industry expertise required to deliver a robust end-to-end solution. As a result, the company established an ecosystem of dozens of partners, including most of the MES companies — but not all (see sidebar).
SAP established three levels of partnerships. The basic level is NetWeaver Certification. Siemens, for example, has five certified SAP interfaces for SIMATIC IT. It is what SAP calls a "low-touch" engagement" but is still a worthwhile notch on the MES belt. "It shows a commitment to make sure the applications are using the most effective ways of communicating with SAP's infrastructure," says Maryanne Steidinger, in Siemens' discrete industry marketing group.
The second level is a joint-development effort, involving integration roadmaps and co-marketing agreements. Wonderware sits in this category, having jointly developed three composite applications using xMII to unite aspects of MES and ERP within the same data model. iBASEt, too, has built composite applications, investing lots of time and money in development for the sake of integration.
"We can't have it be that integration scares off everybody and detracts from the value proposition," says Conrad Leiva, vice president of product marketing at iBASEt.
The third type of SAP partnership is a reseller agreement, which SAP, to date, has only with Visiprise. SAP's own staff sells and maintains the product, under the name SAP Manufacturing Execution by Visiprise. SAP has closed a handful of deals since the reseller agreement was set in place last summer.
But the agreement, which basically gives SAP an MES solution, helps Visiprise, too. Having that tight connection to SAP is a dealmaker, says Carter Johnson, senior vice president of corporate development at Visiprise. "There have been deals that we won through SAP that we otherwise would not have been involved with," he says.
But it's more than just a marketing and sales agreement. There is coding and integration happening in the background as well. "The benefit to the customer is that we are taking the burden of integration on ourselves," Johnson says.
Indeed, that's what end users are asking for. "I don't want to do any more integration," says Mike Brooks, staff technologist at Chevron. "What's more germane is interoperability." Chevron looks to the vendors to do that as well as standards, he says.
In fact, standards could be even more important than industry alliances, Brooks says. That's because they can provide the real framework that allows application plug-and-play. In reality, "this stuff should just work together without [our] having to do anything," he says.
At Chevron, Brooks encourages vendors, such as Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Microsoft, and SAP, to come up with a set of products and services centered on work processes, he says. MES, regardless of the brand, should drop in with little to no configuration involved.
And it shouldn't matter what ERP application it is either. Even Oracle, which claims to have its own MES solution, is starting to revamp its partner program to include vendors with industry specialties, industry observers say. Today, technology is aimed at open architectures.
"We are pushing for non-proprietary solutions anchored around pieces that handle meta-data and modeling solutions that understand processes in an open way," Brooks says. That's the mission behind the OpenO&M initiative, a collaborative effort between MIMOSA and the OPC Foundation. It's also MESA's mission.
To that end, manufacturing execution would evolve not as a system, but rather as a framework built around a company's work processes, culture, and industry directives. That means getting a fresh take on MES.
"It is a narrow slice of what needs to happen," Brooks says. "MES has become a brand for certain products out there, but it should [occupy] the space between control systems and business systems, and [define] how you manage operations there."
MES' Moving Pieces
MES should also integrate horizontally across the plant — even into engineering. That's why, if you take a close look, you will see that there are not many independent pure-play MES vendors still around. Many of the companies are getting scooped up by big automation companies that recognize they've been missing a big piece of the plant operations puzzle for far too long.
MES orchestrates what's happening on the factory floor and in the plant. As a result, many vendors and end users are beginning to see the value in connecting MES to applications other than ERP.
"I think a greater integration of the supply chain beyond the first tier will also be important in the coming years," says John Plassenthal, project manager of strategic integration at International Truck and Engine.
And with talk of the digital factory, tighter integration with PLM will be just as important. Siemens, following its acquisition of UGS last year, is working on creating ties between these two domains. And in the aerospace & defense industry, where engineering and manufacturing departments are beginning to work in tandem, corporations are urging best-of-breed MES vendors, such as iBASEt, Intercim, and Visiprise, to establish PLM alliances.
Intercim, for example, which merged with Pertinence earlier this year, recently rolled out a product suite based on .NET 3.0 that is designed to easily integrate with ERP as well as 3D engineering models.
The Intercim product, called Pertinence Suite powered by Velocity, is designed to be easily configured by subject-matter experts who don't have to know how to run program code. "We put business rules in to define how business functions," says Judson Plapp, vice president of marketing and corporate strategy at Intercim. "It has the ability to quickly implement new rules and changes so it can constantly evolve."
The company also has a new pricing model: "The software is free. You pay for credits based on usage," Plapp says. The software-as-a-service approach — much like the way many cell phone plans work — offers the product for little to no cost and lets the customer pay only for the amount used. That is a dramatic departure from buying a multimillion-dollar software license to accommodate multiple sites, Plapp says.
The Intercim technology and new pricing model are clear indications that MES is changing drastically.
"People are getting a better feel for where they are competitive," Rockwell's Bauer says. "But the chess pieces are still moving around. The game is still in progress."
While the vendors figure it out, it's important that manufacturers not become a passive audience, warns Chevron's Brooks. Get involved, whether it's through MESA or an industry-specific organization, he said. If everyone comes together and it's executed right, MES could steal the show.
DeepDive: Technology Directions - How Is Your Vision? by Stephanie Neil

Posted on
These days, manufacturers are thinking long and hard about the technologies they introduce into the enterprise. In recessionary times, those investments increasingly must follow the three "L's" rule: They must be low-risk, low-cost, and layered.
Recognizing manufacturers' need to do more with less, business intelligence software vendors are introducing "lightweight" tools, most of which are available in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model. Emerging vendors, such as my-DIALS, Transpara, and PivotLink, claim these SaaS tools will empower the average user to make real-time operational and enterprise business decisions while controlling up-front costs. Not to be left out, established BI vendors, such as SAP, and best-of-breed software suppliers, such as SPSS, Inc., are simplifying user interfaces while maintaining some back-end heavy lifting in the form of sophisticated mathematical algorithms.
Of course, in these turbulent times when every penny and relationship count, companies are scanning the entire supply chain and manufacturing landscape to ensure that they are delivering the right product at the right time with quality built-in — to avoid recalls, warranties, and any other nasty and costly product problems.
While words like "optimization" and "efficiency" are often tossed about as the manufacturing mantra, managers are beginning to peel back operational layers to see what being more productive actually entails.
Layered Look
Before a company can effectively accelerate performance, it must have the right tools in place. And, following the trend toward lower risk and lower cost, vendors are offering new tools that layer on top of existing systems and extract actionable information.
Transpara, for example, offers a lightweight, Web-based tool that includes BI and visualization and can access existing back-end applications, from plant floor historians to finance systems. Transpara's tool can track key performance indicators (KPIs), such as equipment utilization rates, and it repurposes the data for delivery to mobile devices — for example, a BlackBerry or iPhone. This layered approach makes larger back-end applications more accessible to the everyday user or executive on the road.
"The market is moving faster than a company can decide what to do," says Transpara founder and CEO Michael Saucier. "The only way out of that dilemma is to push decisions down the food chain," and, more important, "arm people with the right information."
Similarly, myDIALS is a SaaS, lightweight BI tool that provides a dashboard in addition to some of its own business analytics. It, too, can connect to any business or operational system and pull customized KPIs into a visual display on a desktop. The result is an easy-to-understand summary of what's happening behind the scenes in any particular operation. Customer Snap-on Inc., for example, taps into factory floor metrics using myDIALS in order to improve safety conditions.
While these two tools focus on what's happening within the enterprise, PivotLink focuses on demand forecasting, optimizing inventories, and understanding cash flows.
The PivotLink product, delivered as an on-demand service, includes a data warehouse that collects sales, financial, and other operational data; a set of analytical tools that can generate reports against the data; and a Web browser interface for viewing graphical representations of the reports generated, which includes the ability to do "what-if" calculations.
The key, PivotLink CEO Quentin Gallivan says, is the ability to access BI for demand management in an easy-to-use SaaS model. "Traditional business intelligence [deployments] take six to 12 months. PivotLink can be up and running within 20 to 30 days and at one-tenth of the price" of a traditional on-premise application, he says.
While traditional BI vendors — from IBM to SAP — would argue that they, too, have Web-enabled versions of their products that make it easy to access information, these are typically more robust, complex versions of BI that are great for answering strategic business questions, such as whether to enter or exit a market. The lightweight versions offer a more on-the-spot vis-ual analysis well-suited to quick operational decisions.
"Traditional BI players still have value for strategic decision making when used in the hands of the business analysts," says Wayne Morris, CEO of my-DIALS. "But [everyday users] don't want to make the big strategic decision. They are totally focused on how to improve operational performance."
Little Things Make a Big Difference
CDC Software is another technology vendor focused on enabling operational workers to use BI and analytics to make decisions. The company's CDC Factory division makes an electronic kiosk that operators can use on the factory floor. A touchscreen interface with user-friendly graphics helps operators input information about the shift, the product, and the machine runtime, for example. If there's a bottleneck slowing down the line, an early-warning signal flashes on the screen for operators and supervisors to see. Not only does this provide a clear, real-time picture of what's happening on the line, but it also captures all of the information and provides plant performance metrics.
That kind of visibility can lead to performance improvements, experts say.
"What motivates people to do something is competition and peer pressure," says Mark Sutcliffe, president of CDC Factory. "Obviously, if you do things more effectively everyday, the big numbers follow. It's not rocket science, but it does require discipline and a framework and the [right] tools," he says.
Another small vendor, As One Technologies Inc., delivers tools that work with existing plant systems and provide easy-to-use analytics. The company recently introduced a product, called Catalyst xM, that captures plant floor processes that manufacturing execution systems don't typically capture. Catalyst xM, for example, tracks machine maintenance and pulls historical data that can be used to identify events that could yield a problem, says Jay Mellen, executive vice president for business development at As One. The system will send a text message, e-mail, or automated phone message to escalate management action.
"It automates the mundane actions to reduce the time it takes [to get things fixed]," Mellen says. And, while inspired by corrective and preventive action (CAPA) applications, "[Catalyst xM] is more focused on the automation of workflow," he says.
The product also prompts users to enter information on why certain decisions were made on the plant floor, which can be fed into a BI system for analysis.
Of course, in production, quality is one of the most important business drivers. That's why makers of quality management systems, such as IQS and CIMTEK, are adding analytical engines to their applications.
IQS recently added a quality intelligence reporting layer to its software that uses SAP's Crystal Reports platform, as well as a quality analytics engine using MicroStrategy Inc. technology.
"What you want to know with quality are things like early-warning indicators," says Lori Gipp, vice president of marketing at IQS. "With business intelligence, we are able to look at materials when they come into the plant or at the information going back and forth between engineers' design changes."
The point, Gipp says, is to manage changes in a manner that mitigates risk.
Similarly, CIMTEK offers a predictive analytics engine that can integrate with ERP, PLM, and MES systems, and can be used to build a complete quality record. The Magellan Quality Lifecycle Management is a SaaS product that provides OEMs with insight into the entire lifecycle of a product, from component quality to manufacturing testing.
Much like the PivotLink product, Magellan includes a data warehouse that can be used for analytics and to spot trends. The tool also sends out real-time alarms so that manufacturers can ensure that contract manufacturers, for example, are testing products correctly.
"The key to the system is the ability to get early warning signals before any disaster occurs," says Chris Rehl, CIMTEK's director of marketing. This wards off recalls and cuts costs related to warranty expenditures, he says.
But gaining actionable insight into quality issues is just one important way to drive performance. Increasingly, manufacturers must also factor in risk management and market volatility created, for example, by rising energy costs.
SAP has designed a Web-based business performance management framework that lets manufacturers plug in tools such as SAP's Business Objects Risk Management product, which analyzes operational, financial, and human capital risks. Manufacturers can use the tool to perform what-if analysis, for example, looking at energy price trends.
Inside Out
Once you have visibility into your own enterprise's performance, it's time to start looking at everyone else in the supply stream. The supply network is becoming increasingly complex, and manufacturers need to be aware of what is going on not only with first-tier suppliers, but also with second- and third-tier suppliers. Also, as companies expand globally, new regulations and logistics risks enter the picture.
"The number one thing I get calls about is the feeling of being exposed," says Jim Lawton, vice president and general manager at Dun & Bradstreet's supply management solutions business. "After pursuing cost reduction strategies, [companies say the effort] is making their supply chain more brittle and susceptible to supply chain issues."
Management Dynamics, a maker of on-demand supply chain and global trade management software, has layered SAP's Business Objects BI technology on top of its applications to give manufacturers the ability to monitor overseas suppliers. The BI tools let manufacturers set and monitor KPIs, such as compliance with export and trade agreements or other issues that may produce supply chain bottlenecks.
Similarly, Dun & Bradstreet provides an on-demand service that helps manufacturers predict things such as when a second- or third-tier supplier may be in danger of going out of business. D&B tracks roughly 100 million companies in a database that includes variables such as financial, legal, regulatory, and operational data. On top of that, it adds predictive analytics to generate what it calls a "supplier stability indicator."
"It can tell you if there's a 37% chance that a company is going to go bankrupt within the next 90 days," Lawton says. "The other piece of the equation is getting your arms around another company's issues that may or may not be a problem for you." For example, if a third-tier supplier is ready to go under, the D&B tool can help sort out how this change will impact your organization. The tool assesses factors like how much money is spent on the company, how many parts are bought, and which part of the product lifecycle is affected in order to help formulate next steps.
This can help a manufacturer accelerate its own performance because "it is clearly weeding out bad performers," Lawton says.

A new report by ARC Advisory Group predicts widespread automation investments in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, despite tightening budgets in the current financial crisis.
The report, "Automation Expenditures for Pharmaceutical and Biotech Industry Worldwide Outlook," forecasts that these industry segments will invest more than $3 billion in automation technology by 2012. Much of that money will be directed at projects that will deliver immediate return on investment in areas such as manufacturing operations consolidation and applications standardization across the enterprise, the report says.
Because the discovery and commercialization of new drug products will remain the cornerstone of competitive advantage, pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers are also focusing on production management software — such as MES — andanalytics software to increase productivity and flexibility as well as ensure product quality. The industry will also be focused on regulatory compliance and increasing automation while shortening time to market.
To that end, some suppliers offer analytics to help reduce production cycle time and throughput. Others provide analytics that can evaluate numerous solvent extraction schemes, reducing the number of experiments performed during the drug development phase. This ARC study will help users learn what others in the industry are doing and the capabilities of each supplier. The report also discusses strategies and tactics that suppliers and manufacturers can use to succeed in the rapidly changing worldwide pharmaceutical and biotech industry.

Gillette Stadium Just Became the Wall From 'Game of Thrones'
The New England Patriots have always had sub-freezing temperatures but it seems like the recently crowned Super Bowl champions might have to call upon Jon Snow and the Night's Watch for some help. The Gillette Stadium Twitter recently shared a photo of the stadium looking insanely similar to the Wall from Game of Thrones.
Gillette Stadium or the wall from @GameOfThrones? We're just not sure anymore… pic.twitter.com/nXEVOnidE9
— Gillette Stadium (@GilletteStadium) February 18, 2015
It seems the Patriots should be on the lookout for incoming danger from the Wildlings or White Walkers because Gillette Stadium just became the modern day equivalent of the Wall from the land of Westeros.

Dan Cook finally posted the Declaration of Game Designer Independence that we worked on at Project Horseshoe this year. As expected from the comments, some people "get it", some people don't (hint: it isn't about ego) and some will concoct elaborate ulterior motives for us because they are afraid of words. Fine.
If I had to boil the whole thing down to one word it would be: respect. Respect yourselves, respect your art/craft, respect your customers, respect your limitations and respect your process. If all designers could get behind that, we would be much more healthy as a profession and produce better content.

Recent Tasting Notes
This was one of two samples given out by Silk Road at their fantastic tasting session at the Northwest Tea Festival. This and a Dragonwell sample. I let Mom have the Dragonwell since that is one of her favorite greens and chances are good that with my black balanced palate these days it would just be wasted on me. :)
Hay, malt, dust, scent like smoke in the bag but cocoa once steeped. Lightly sweet. Not as over the top malty as some GM I've had. This is a more subtle cup with just a tail end hint of dryness – which could well be due to my Western style steeping. It is priced in the same range as Harney's GM and even just a tad cheaper. I'm not sure it would replace Harney's or Teavivre's but if I were dedicated to getting the free shipping at Silk Road I'd certainly put this on the order!
sounds lovely but your Mom is right too because dragonwell is kind of green heaven even if i am a "black palate" like you.
It was very enjoyable, packed to the rafters and very instructive, thanks, boychik. Now I need to get to one in NY someday… :)
Next year, please. Oh it was so much fun. I think I will get VIP ticket to get earlier. The line was like all around the block and I came 1hr before reg ppl could get in. Was it crowded too?
The line was out the door and while we waited only about 15 minutes right at the opening, the organizers said some people were waiting up to 1.5 hours. They really exceeded all their expectations this year, getting their anticipated entire weekend attendance on Saturday alone. I haven't heard back about what the attendance actually was but when visiting one of the exhibitor's shops on Sunday evening she said they gave out 1400 samples of cake!
This one came from my $5 September Steepster Select box. The leaves are thin and wiry and twisty, and their color is a myriad of greens and silvers. Dry scent is a mild and sweet combination of vegetal, grass, and hay scents. I steeped a heaping teaspoon for 2 minutes at 175 degrees.
Once steeped, the liquid smells sweet, creamy, and mildly vegetal. The taste is mild and vegetal, but there's also a lot of grassiness here as well. It's almost a bit sharp, which is nice my favorite, however there's no astringency here. I could do with a little more sweetness. I do enjoy the touch of roasted nut flavor that comes out strongly at the end.
Flavors: Asparagus, Grass, Roasted nuts, Vegetal
I was REALLY hesitant about this tea when I read 'smokiness' as a tasting note (I don't like Lapsang Souchongs, and that's what came to mind).
But I worried for nothing. The smokiness and the chocolate notes are just that- notes. The tea isn't overpowered by either, and they play nicely together, fading (but still present) with successive steeps. There's also an incredibly satisfying earthiness that reminds me of pu-erh.
From the September 2014 select box.
Flavors: Cacao, Earth
Really surprised to find this tea in the Steepster select pack but curiously decided to try it on a busy Thursday afternoon. Firstly the tea has a real chocolate aroma but it smells like they had cacao nearby when they dried it not like artificial flavorings (i hope). Also since it was later in the day and I didn't want a burst of caffeine I decided to rinse the tea twice and let it open up (hopefully washing some caffeine away). First off there is a mellow chocolate aroma and some notable earthiness. Later as it steeped the chocolate gave way to some astringency and finally to a stronger black tea flavoring. I liked the evolution as it brewed and will try another steep slowly sipping some chocolate along the way.
I was intrigued by the Wu Yi Black Oolong, I really like many Oolongs so I wanted to give it a try. I normally like a little milk and honey in a black tea however this tea stands on its own and needed no adulteration. It has a nice cinnamon and sweet tobacco taste with no discernible astringency. I had a couple of pots in the afternoon and was very happy with the quality.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Sweet, Tobacco
This sample came from Blodeuyn. Yay, another Keemun! :D This is one of those tea categories that I am trying to explore more, as I feel I have neglected it in favor of Yunnan and Fujian teas. This tea has what I would consider to be typical Keemun leaves – they're thin and small and very dark in color. Whoa, the dry scent hit me over the head when I opened the pouch. This tea smells so mineral and it's extremely strong, almost to the point of being chemical. There's a touch of musty hay scent there as well. I must admit, I was scared, so I steeped it for 2.5 minutes instead of 3 and I was very careful to level my teaspoon of leaf…
After steeping, the liquor also smells quite mineral but it's less extreme. I can also smell bread and malt aromas. Luckily for me, drinking this tea is only a bit like licking a rock. The mineral is definitely the strongest note, but there's also malt and bread, along with a creamy grain note reminiscent of oats. I get a light peppery taste, especially toward the end. Overall, not my favorite flavor profile, but not bad.
Flavors: Baked Bread, Creamy, Malt, Mineral, Oats, Pepper, Smoke
With the Breville automatic tea maker I can walk into my kitchen first thing in the morning and have it filled with the great smell of Jasmine! Jasmine Silver needle might cost more but it is a good value. Skip the cheap chemical fake flavored jasmine tea and taste the real thing, you will not want to go back.
Flavors: Jasmine
I got this tea in my first Steepster box! The first steep is very much chocolate, with hints of mineral and wheat. I was actually impressed at the level of chocolate flavor without any added chocolate. Successive steeps are lighter on chocolate, but it's still present. There are more pronounced notes of wheat/bread and mineral in later steeps.
Flavors: Chocolate, Mineral, Wheat
So I already feel like I'm going to like this tea primarily because peppermint. I may or may not have a 2 pound bag of peppermint tea sitting next to me…
I swear I don't have a problem.
Moving on, the smell of the unsteeped leaves mostly comes off as peppermint with a bit extra at the end that I can't quite put my finger on but will most likely round out the tea well. The steeped liquid has that unrecognizable smell much more pronounced that creates a nice warmth of flavor but is cut by the sharp peppermint after…smell? Is after smell a word? It should be.
The taste is very heavily peppermint but more in a refreshing than sharp way and I believe that's because it has other things than just peppermint that mellow it out. Overall, I like it for its mellow mintyness especially if I don't want straight peppermint tea which can be overwhelming at times. But definitely not the best tea I've had.
Something Different! When you need something different try this one. Very fragrant, makes a great afternoon tea to wake up the senses. I would not drink it as an everyday tea but as something to change up the pace it is great.
Flavors: Berry, Fruity
Golden Jade Oolong (Huang Guan Yin) is a surprise, I am on the third steep and it is still delivering an amazing honey flavor with a brightness I can't pick a good word to describe. I love teas that do not require any adulteration and this one is good right out of the pot. One note it does lose the brightness once it cools, I often will use the last cup of a pot over ice in the afternoon, it loses something in translation to cold.
Flavors: Honey, Honeydew
Really enjoy the name of this tea in my Steepster Select samples. "Organic Buddhist Tea" has a great ring to it and after opening I was happy to find a very nice bouquet and a little tea dust like matcha. My first steep was a bit too much water and had a savory and vegetal flavor, good color and a slight astringent after taste. A very nice every day tea.
I liked this tea. A nice change from my typical choice in black tea, darjeeling. Its pleasant smoky assertiveness is modified by a rich chocolate scent and taste. I also appreciate the nice alertness it provides in the mornings.
Flavors: Chocolate, Smoked, Wheat
Brewed this Western style this morning, and was pleasantly awakened by the gorgeous aroma and flavor. Just as the other tasting notes mention, chocolate predominates the first steep with light tones of mineral and just a hint of smoke. Second and third steeps have less of the chocolate taste as the other flavors step forward, but the aroma still remains enticing.
Reminiscent of Laoshan Black from Verdant Tea, but with more of a mineral edge. Thanks Steepster Select for including this in the September Box.
Flavors: Chocolate, Mineral, Smoke
When you first open the package, it is very peppermint and literally gets into your sinuses if you take a big whiff. It really does smell like toothpaste and other products with peppermint.
The dry leaf is very pretty with light pastel green and little pieces of the pinkie mauvy clover flower. Bits of light brown in there as well.
Definitely trying this after I have had lunch and another after-lunch tea because I'm afraid the peppermint is going to be strong and be all over my palate after that.
Liquor is golden clear color and smells very herbal with peppermint. I don't want to drink it but I will taste it lol.
This is not my thing but it is good herbal. It has a natural sweetness to it and the peppermint sort of gets into your chest if you breathe in. So I could see drinking this when you don't feel good and are congested.
It really tastes like fresh mint the more I drink it so it's very good mint tea.
At first I didn't want to finish but now I seem to be drinking more so it's pretty good.
I feel a little warm drinking this. The peppermint is warming my body. I am Pitta dosha and I don't think peppermint is good for Pitta lol. It is definitely removing toxins through heat so that's cool.

Boss plays Wheater waiting game
Tony Mowbray is playing a waiting game concerning David Wheater's availability to face Bristol City.
Last Updated: 09/01/11 2:11pm
Middlesbrough manager Tony Mowbray is playing a waiting game concerning defender David Wheater's availability to face Bristol City.
As revealed by Skysports.com on Saturday, Wheater, who is out-of-contract in the summer, has opened talks with Bolton about a possible move.
The proposed deal is believed to be worth over £2million and the 23-year-old was left out of the Middlesbrough side for Saturday's FA Cup defeat by Burton.
While Mowbray confirmed things were happening behind the scenes about a possible transfer, he believed Wheater may still be available to play against Bristol City on Saturday.
The Boro boss said: "Things are happening.
"It (his absence against Burton) wasn't about avoiding him being cup-tied, he wasn't available due to things that might be happening behind the scenes.
"Having said that, if another club wants to buy him lots of things have to be agreed first with the player and the two clubs, so he may yet be playing for us next Saturday.
"It might become more evident over the next few days."

Mr Scaroni, who is also chief executive of energy group Eni, is being investigated by Milan prosecutors looking into the alleged payment of bribes to win contracts in North Africa.
Investigators are reported to be examining $11bn (£7bn) of contracts won by oil services group Saipem, which is 43pc owned by Eni.
In a statement, Eni said: "Eni acknowledges that the prosecutor has decided to extend the investigation to include Eni and its chief executive officer.
"Eni and its CEO declare themselves totally unrelated to the object of investigation."
Eni confirmed that officials had searched Mr Scaroni's house as well as the company's office.
The prosecutors are accusing Saipem of paying bribes worth €197m (£170m) from 2007 until 2009 to a Hong Kong-based company to secure contracts with Algeria's state-owned energy group, Sonatrach.
Saipem's chief executive, Pietro Franco Tali, resigned from the company in December after details of the investigation emerged.
Along with Russia, Algeria is Italy's biggest gas supplier and Eni has substantial investments in the country.
Shares in Eni lost nearly 5pc of their value on Friday as news of investigation into Mr Scaroni broke.

Editorial : Anja Rubik by Inez & Vinoodh for Porter
Wednesday 6th August, 2014
While August has only begun, magazine issues are overwhelmed by the most beautiful fall editorials, making us long for cool temperatures to cover ourselves in wool cape coats paired with knee high leather boots, and embrace the constant Nicolas Ghesquière for Louis Vuitton references in high street stores from Zara to Mango. PORTER magazine's editorial only highlights the anticipation with its impossibly perfect coats worn by supermodel Anja Rubik in a field of dreams worthy of any fairytale. There were oversized coverups, masculine contours, strong and feminine silhouettes, plays with textures, warm tones, and of course, the immaculate rosy Chloé coat Anja wears on the cover. —Victoria

Wildlife officials killed a bear believed to be involved in an unprovoked attack that injured a teenage camper in his tent near Leadville. Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials said the incident began at 3:30 a.m. Friday, July 15 when the teen was awakened as the black bear bit into his leg.
The victim fought off the bear and other campers scared the bear out of the area. Hundreds of campers are in the Twin Lakes area for the Colorado Bowhunters Association annual Jamboree.
"We manage wild bears for a healthy and thriving population," said Dan Prenzlow, Regional Manager for Wildlife with Colorado Parks and Wildlife. "But when an individual bear enters a tent and attacks a sleeping person, we manage that animal to protect the public safety.
Responding wildlife officers interviewed the victim at an area hospital where he was treated and released for deep lacerations on his leg and then released. Officers then inspected the campsite to determine what might have lead to the attack. The bear had apparently ransacked a cooler outside the tent in the adjacent area of the camp prior to the attack. However officers said there was nothing was found in the tent that would explain the bear's actions.
Officers called for tracking assistance from USDA Wildlife Services, who responded with 10 tracking dogs to the attack site. As temperatures cooled from the heat of the day, tracking dogs were able to establish a scent trail and discovered a 200-pound, male black bear matching the description of the offending bear within three quarters of a mile of the attack site. The bear was put down shortly before 7 p.m.
The teenage victim is expected to recover but will receive follow up treatment for the injuries.
Campers are reminded that food items should be securely stored in bear-proof containers or kept in the locked trunk of a vehicle. Additional tips for camping in bear country can be found online at: http://wildlife.state.co.us/WildlifeSpecies/LivingWithWildlife/Mammals/HikeCampBearCountry.htm [2].

Researcher: Priya Narasimhan
Vajra: Benchmarking Survivability in Distributed Systems
It is important for distributed mission-critical applications to be able to quantify their survivability, and also for application developers to be able to compare different fault-tolerance approaches with each other, in the interests of selecting the best one. Unfortunately, while reliability modeling tools exist today, there are no comprehensive run-time approaches that ensure coverage over a wide span of faults, and moreoever, do so in distributed settings. Most run-time fault-injection techniques assume failures are independent (i.e., faults happen in isolation, without any correlation across the system) and benign (i.e., there is no malicious adversary orchestrating the failures). Neither of these assumptions is realistic for applications that must complete their missions despite arbitrary failures.
The Vajra survivability benchmark project aims to perform the run-time fault-injection of various kinds of failures, including crash, communication, malicious and timing failures. Apart from its comprehensive approach, the Vajra tools allow the injection of distributed failures, e.g., timing fault on one component coupled with a message loss on another. The utility of such a benchmark is that it will allow us to compare the relative dependability of different distributed systems that claim to be survivable. Even for a single distributed application, Vajra allows us to quantify the impact of failures, including complex ones that distributed systems are vulnerable to. Additionally, Vajra is transparent and target-agnostic -- by using an interception approach, it simply attaches itself non-intrusively, at run-time, to an existing distributed application and allows for a variety of failures to be injected into the application in any order. This implies that it can be used to measure and analyze the dependability of any distributed system without requiring any changes of the system.
Results from Prior CyLab Support
Our past year's accomplishments (seed grant on "Resource-Aware Configurable Survivability", 2004-2005) include the development of a prototype for resource-aware adaptive fault-tolerance for distributed middleware applications. We also implemented a decentralized resource monitoring infrastructure into the prototype of our system. Our research has helped us to understand and characterize the trade-offs between resources, performance and fault-tolerance under a variety of reconfigurations. Specifically, changing the replication style of a running distributed application (changing from active to passive replication on the fly) allowed us to understand fundamental mechanisms such as quiescence in distributed systems.
Our last year's CyLab funding has led to publications in international conferences, along with a beta-version software prototype of the system that we released in open-source form with documentation to industrial partners, including Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. We intend to exploit the system that we have built over the last year as one of the first targets that Vajra will evaluate. In addition, I have personally presented the results of this research to some of CyLab's industrial affiliates through invited seminars at Lockheed Martin, Siemens Research, Bosch Research, HP Laboratories and IBM Research. The funding on this project has also resulted in presentations at various professional forums:
Proposed Research
Current survivable systems rely on strong theoretical properties (such as the Byzantine-fault tolerance guarantees) to guarantee survivability. Unfortunately, it is not common to measure the efficiency or the effectiveness of these properties in implementations of survivable systems. Instead of focusing on the survivability benefit of a system or technique, evaluations of such systems generally focus on the performance overhead of the mechanisms in the fault-free case: a metric that, in itself, is not a good evaluator of survivability. This dearth of metrics makes the objective comparison of the survivability of different implementations of systems---even those that employ similar algorithms---nearly impossible. To solve this problem, we propose the development of metrics to characterize and evaluate survivability.
We intend to employ these metrics to evaluate survivable systems, including the dependable systems that we ourselves have built. There are two important categories of operation for any survivable system: (i) the fault-free case; and (ii) the faulty case, under which the system's resistance---though not necessarily its survivability---has been overcome, i.e., a fault, either latent or active, now exists in the system. For the purpose of evaluation, it is useful to categorize the faulty case further into (a) proactive and (b) reactive, based on the survivability strategies employed by the system. It is our intention to evaluate a number of different systems to evaluate the survivability, performance and resource usage under the fault-free, reactive-faulty and proactive-faulty cases. The intention here is for us to understand better the precise implications of the different survivability approaches of the three different systems, to derive insights into the specific fault-tolerance mechanisms and to determine the effectiveness of these systems under a variety of faults.
Clearly, in order to evaluate these systems objectively, we need a transparent way of injecting both malicious and accidental faults into these systems. The transparency is essential because (i) we need to use the same approach to evaluating the different systems as if they were black-boxes, and (ii) the evaluation technique should not itself perturb the survivability/performance of the system. We have previously developed interception approaches for inserting various functionalities transparently into distributed applications; we intend to exploit this technique to develop a survivability evaluator through the injection of various kinds of faults, including crash faults, message losses, resource-exhaustion, value faults, masquerades, mutant messages, corrupted messages, etc. The idea is to "attach" the fault-injection interceptor transparently to each of these target systems, at runtime, to inject these faults (without necessarily concerning ourselves with the precise architecture or implementation details, although these would be useful in the post-mortem of the results of our evaluation) to "measure" each system's resilience, speed-of-reaction and resource usage, in the face of these faults.
Apart from the goal of transparency, another goal is objectivity and target-independence. The idea is to have the fault injection process, and therefore the results of the fault-injection, be independent of the specific target system under test. This is the only way that we will be able to compare two different systems against each other. Secondly, this means that we will not place any specific emphasis on the meaning of messages in the two different systems for benchmarking two different systems. We could easily do this for putting a number on the survivability of any one specific system (e.g., we could easily induce corruption of only the membership messages in the Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) system, for example), but the results would lack meaning if we targeted BFT's membership messages and Immune's (for example) membership messages, and then sought a comparison on their survivability when their approaches might be dissimilar (of course, it might provide us some insight into which membership approach might be more resilient in its implementation). Thus, in the first version of the Vajra framework, we are aiming to be target-agnostic, and are injecting the same set of failures at the same interception points across the target systems being compared. At this initial stage of research, we have categorized a variety of benign and malicious faults that we intend to inject, and we have also identified interception points in the Linux operating system where these faults might be injected. Over the next year, with this seed-grant funding, we expect to complete the injection of faults into BFT in order to enable us to report the dependability of BFT, purely from a run-time standpoint. We hope to learn from the BFT evaluation process to harden the Vajra tools and to make them more comprehensive. Furthermore, we intend to also evaluate BFT against a counterpart system, such as Immune. The results from this should be rather interesting – for one, apart from providing an objective way to compare BFT to Immune in terms of their implementation (independent of the underlying algorithms), we might be able to report on how accurately each system follows it fault model (i.e., the faults that it claims to handle). The Vajra project is not intended to be forgiving towards our own systems – in fact, we intend to use it to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of any dependable system that we build so that we quantify our own survivability.
The ultimate aim for our work with Vajra framework is to have classified the survivability of a number of different systems and to be able to share with the community the relative resilience of these various systems and their underlying approaches.
A secondary aim is to go after the complex, distributed failures that no fault-injection tool today addresses, e.g., what happens when a timing failure occurs at the client, and a communication failure at the server, what happens when a failure propagates unchecked through the system. These are truly challenging, but very real, failure scenarios – if we had the runtime ability to inject these failures, we could build complex distributed systems out of COTS parts, secure in the knowledge that we would have a way to evaluate the dependability of even such systems with complex failure modes. Given our (speaking collectively as the dependable systems community) inability to "put a number on" the survivability of the systems that we build every day, the Vajra tool will be invaluable to our research group, to other research groups.

Regular power generation not before April 2014
The 660-MW (megawatts) first unit of the Talwandi Sabo power plant was lit up on Monday during the inauguration ceremony, but it may take a few months for it to actually start generating power.chandigarh Updated: Nov 25, 2013 23:47 IST
The 660-MW (megawatts) first unit of the Talwandi Sabo power plant was lit up on Monday during the inauguration ceremony, but it may take a few months for it to actually start generating power.
Company sources said April 19, 2014, had been fixed as the date when the first unit would run full blast on coal. Monday's launch was done with furnace oil as insiders revealed that coal would start arriving at the plant only in December.
"We are expecting coal to start arriving at our plant from next month. For four months, we have decided to build our stocks," said a functionary of the Vedanta Group, which is building the plant, adding that it would be synchronised in the first week of December and start generating power to the optimum capacity of 660 MW by April 19. The total capacity of the plant is 1,980 MW. If everything goes well, the second and third units of the plant would be commissioned after a gap of three months.
To run one 660-MW unit, it requires 10,000 to 12,000 tonnes of coal every day. Coal to this plant is coming from the Mahandi coal fields of Odisha.
The Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) was supposed to arrange coal linkages for the plant. As per the agreement with the Vedanta Group, 80% of the coal was to be arranged by the PSPCL. Later, due to countrywide coal scarcity the supply was cut down to 65% of the 80%, while 15% was allowed to be imported.
"As of now, we are getting 52% of our total coal requirement and the arrival of imported coal is still to be worked out," said a source in the Vedanta, adding that power would be generated in proportion to Punjab's requirement.

Absolutely - it's a religion and so CANNOT be supported by the federal government or established as the de facto state religion under the antiestablishment clause of the first amendement.
Atheism is not no religion. They cannot prove there is no God. They are acting out of faith alone.
They are also wrong, but that's not the point.
So which is it?
I've heard believers repeatedly say that atheism is just as much a belief as religion. Well, then, recognize it as a religion and give its belivers the same privileges as other religions.
Oh, but then believers say it is not a religion. It is non-belief and thus those non-believers should not get the same privileges as believers in religions.
Seems those anti-atheist believers change their story so that they can keep to themselves the privileges such as tax exemptions, days off for their religious holidays, government provided counselors/chaplains.
You are right.
"Atheism is not no religion."
Grammar aside, I believe a court has said atheism is = to a religion.
You say it is a religion and so CANNOT be supported by the govt., but, what is paying chaplains for our servicemen if not a support by the govt? Thus, nonbelievers should have the same rights for emotional and moral support in war as believers already have. In fact without the comfort of a fully believed in hereafter, it is reasonable to think they might need aid, comfort and counseling even more than believers.

Don't cry for Callely, he deserves his sentence even if it was a trifling fiddle
Poor Ivor Callely. All he did was fiddle the State out of a trifling €4,200 and now he finds himself behind bars.
When you think of the gravy train politicians have long been accustomed to, not to mention the billions that we pumped into the banks, it is a risible amount.
Especially when he had the good grace to repay most of the money so no one is out of pocket. What harm was done?

Lady Tigers blank Palmerton
Bob Ford/TIMES NEWS Northwestern's Brooke Wehr gets ready to tag Palmerton's Cassandra Keiser during Monday's Colonial League softball game.
After opening the 2014 softball season with a pair of one-run losses, Northwestern head softball coach Jen Horner knew the importance of snaring a Colonial League win over host Palmerton in Monday's game.
After a scoreless seven innings, the Lady Tigers got a lead-off triple from Sunny Greenberg, followed by a RBI-single from Kaitlyn Bowers to take a one-run lead. After Bowers moved over to third on two straight fielder's choice plays, she was brought in, which extended the lead to two runs on a RBI single by teammate Kylee Bennett.
That was enough to provide Northwestern with their initial win of the season, and to get them back to 1-1 in the league (1-2 overall).
In the Tigers' first two losses (3-2 loss to Emmaus; 6-5 loss to Pen Argyl), Coach Horner was impressed with the effort and play of her team, yet didn't want to be satisfied with the close losses.
"I'm just so happy for the girls, because they've been working so hard, and they're all such team players," Horner related after the game. "I was just hoping that something would fall their way and we could hopefully get a win today. Because the last couple of games, we lost by one and we played quality ball teams.
You're proud about it, but you don't want to be content with a loss. We have a lot of young girls stepping up and they're playing fearless."
With Palmerton beginning their season against the Tigers, head coach Bob Hock knew about the bull's eye on his team's back, as expectations are high for some success.
Starting out with a loss is never ideal, but Hock saw plenty of positives out of his squad that will allow his group to build upon.
"Northwestern got a big hit there in the eighth," Hock responded to what the difference was in the crucial final frame. "It was a ball that I thought was going to drift foul, but it landed in and there's nothing you can do to defend against that one. Then they got a nice hit to score her after that."
No team enjoys beginning their season with a loss, but it's in no way the 'end of the world,' as Coach Hock and his roster can take the positives away from their first game.
For example, in the sixth, Greenberg began the frame with a single and Bowers got hit by a pitch to put runners on first and second with no outs. However, the Bomber defense took care of the potential threat, as Pekurney struck one out, and there was a fly out and a fielder's choice to keep the score even.
"We did talk about that with the girls after the game," Hock reiterated. "Under the pressure in nearly every inning, (Northwestern) had some action going and we tended to buckle down, Kendra pitched well under those circumstances, the defense picked it up, and we managed to get out of those tough innings. Stuff like that only does a team good down the road."
The pressure was more consistently on the Bombers, as Northwestern managed to put up seven hits throughout the game and have baserunners in nearly every inning. However, that's when Pekurney would manage to work her way out of trouble, by forcing put-outs.
On the other side, Northwestern's Lydia Danner was impressive throughout, fanning Palmerton batters, and yielding only two hits to her opponents in the game.
Offensively, for the winners, the only multiple hitter was Greenberg with a single and her clutch triple in the eighth. Kaitlyn Bowers and Bennet had RBI-singles, while Claire O'Dea managed a double.
Meanwhile, Pekurney and Janal Tracy were the only Lady Bombers to get a hit, as they each had a single.
Northwestern 000 000 02 - 2 7 3
Palmerton 000 000 00 - 0 2 2

Caldo Tlalpeno (Chicken and Chipotle Soup)
In North East PA, where we're located, there's something about these frigid temperatures that can chill you right to the bone, but we've found a sure cure - a bowl of nice hot soup. This Caldo Tlalpeno, pronounced CAHL-DOH T (just the t sound)-LAHL-PEYN-YO, is a traditional Mexican dish that can be most closely compared to an exotic spin on classic chicken noodle soup. This healthy soup is loaded with vegetables so you can stay warm and full without guilt. A little bit of smoky flavor and a decent amount of heat give this soup a full bodied and complex flavor.
This is also a great recipe for the slow cooker. Use pre-cooked chicken, a rotiserrie chicken works really well. Add the chicken, water, chicken broth, chipotles, vegetables and garbanzo beans to a slow cooker. (You can leave out the olive oil since the onions will cook in the broth.) Cook on low for 4-5 hours or until soup is heated through and vegetables are tender.

My research examines the relationship between socio-demographic diversity and Canadian politics. My central preoccupation is to better understand how race and gender influence electoral representation, voting behaviour and political institutions. Currently, this includes a study of candidate recruitment by Canadian political parties, an examination of race and gender affinity in vote choice, and a relatively new project on the political effects of rhetoric targeting racial and religious minorities.

Pretty awesome
Okay so i have these two subs but bought them from an online auction site.. They came with dimensions for building your own sealed and ported boxes. So I built two ported boxes and wow these slam and hit lows way better than I thought. They're driven by a pioneer gm5500 amp and are just mind blowing. Definitely a good buy

Fancied MEG look to finish the job
Madras Engineer Group (MEG), needing just a draw to clinch the BDFA Super Division league title, will look to finish the job when they take on Accountants General's Office Recreation Club (AGORC) here at the Bangalore Football Stadium on Saturday.
MEG will be without their main forward Liton Shil and midfielder Ayush, who were sent-off in their penultimate tie against Army Service Corps on Thursday. The Sappers are second in the points table with 19 points and have a goal difference of +7.
Table toppers Students Union (20 points, +6 goal difference), who are still in the reckoning, will emerge champions if MEG go down to AGORC.
It will be a crucial tie for the Accountants (4 points), who are placed second from bottom, as a loss or a draw will seal their relegation.
Meanwhile, Ozone FC defeated South United 3-1 in another ill-tempered affair on Friday.
In the 86th minute, referee Suresh Babu showed red cards to Ozone's Vivekananda and United's Subash for getting into a tussle.
Ozone have completed their league engagements and sit third on the table with 17 points. They leap-frogged ASC (17) on goal difference (+10). United, meanwhile, are sixth with 12 points.
Mani put United ahead in the 23rd minute but two back-to-back goals from Anto Xavier (31st) and Akshay (35th) in a space of four minutes turn the tide in Ozone's favour. Vivekananda then struck in the 42nd minute as Ozone doubled their advantage.
Results: Super Division: Ozone FC: 3 (Anto Xavier 31st, Akshay 35th, Vivekananda 42nd) bt South United: 1 (Mani 23rd) 'A' Division: ADE: 1 (Manoj 25th) bt Bangalore Eagles: 0.
