Past Historical Residents
Behind Albuquerque, Las Cruces New Mexico ranks second largest city before Santa Fe. Its history dates back for millenniums, where humans first inhabited the area because of its rich soil and mild year-round temperatures. Archaeological diggings indicate that Paleo Indians from prehistoric time made their way through the area well over 20,000 years ago.
Approximately 10,000 years ago, the Anasazi tribes constructed the area's cliff villages. This ancient tribe disappeared from their local community some 3300 years ago and left only a minimal amount of evidence of their civilization behind.
The mild climate in this high desert region offers phenomenal views of the surrounding mountains and the scenic Rio Grande Valley. Recent past residents in the community over the last hundreds of years include the early Spanish settlers, Billy the Kid and Geronimo.

Crossdressing on the Runway: Casey Legler
- The service having id "propeller" is missing, reactivate its module or save again the list of services.
- The service having id "buzz" is missing, reactivate its module or save again the list of services.
Androgyny on the runway is nothing new; the fashion industry went all Twiggy in the mid-20th century and hasn't looked back. More recently, we've seen a handful of androgynous men become successful models of women's clothing lines—this made me wonder, in one of my Pop Theory columns, if fashion was ever really about women (or women's bodies) at all.
This also made me wonder if there were any cisgender females who were successful at modeling men's clothing, a curiousity that was partly sated at a birthday dinner party a month or so ago, when a quite well known queer fashion designer mentioned Casey Legler.
"Casey Legler?!," I responded with delight, "who's that?"
And, wouldn't you know, Casey is a model for men's clothing. High fashion. WERK. Coincidentally, I got to meet her recently at another birthday party a few weeks ago—and she is just lovely.
Which is why I was happy to see Time's feature on Casey today online (shoutout Bendix!). You can read the full article HERE; below is a video interview with her about her budding career as both a male model and an artist:

I am a dancer who now teaches dance at a university, and I read some of the reviews before doing this one. I would say this is a classic Pilates workout-- probably the most traditional Pilates class on this site, and I ve been a member since, like, 2005. If you come to it with a Pilates base, by which I mean having taken class with an instructor and not online, it s great. If you are more of a yogi who s done some Pilates fusion classes, it won t feel like much. Pilates exercises employ a very specific musculature that s hard to describe in just 30 minutes. Cher s classes are better if you ve never had Pilates, but if you have, I feel she takes too much time to explain. Someone said this class feels like a lot of leg, but it s not really. Every exercise is a core strengthening exercise, but core control not just your six pack, but the movement of your arms and legs as well. So I give it five points for a clear, concise, traditional, no frills Pilates class. It gets the job done.
It was pretty good. I wish it had more side legs, but other than that a solid basic Pilates class. Also, I found some of her queuing a little all over the place, but I felt like I got a full workout.
There were some challenging moments. Whew! Great class, thanks!
Loved this! Instructions are VERY clear and continuous so you don t need to be diverted to look at the screen. Challenging and hits the spot. Will be doing this often.
Beginning of class was hard, but after that not so much.
Not sure what the reviewer meant that she didn t get an ab workout with this one! I definitely felt it! Good sequence of exercises as well, and it goes fast enough to get a little cardio in as well.
I have been doing a lot of the ab classes offered here on YD. This one has probably been my least favorite. Most of the ab work did not get my core vibrating and it focused a lot on straightening legs, which is extremely hard if you are like me and have tight hamstrings. Maybe I am just more of a yogini at heart than a pilates girl, but I wasn t really impressed with this class. The instructor is very clear and has a very nice voice, but the class just didn t do it for me. I would recommend the hardCORE yoga classes if you want core work and flow.
Very clear instruction, good pace, challenging, but not over the top.
Could have had a liitle more ab work.
Very good! Really felt it in the right places!
I could really feel it working my core. I love Hayley s method of teaching!
Excellent Class. I was particularly impressed with the instuction. Great structire, good program. Ouch! But yay!

A few months ago, the need for some log file analysis popped up. As the junior Data Scientist, I had the genuine pleasure of waking up one morning to an e-mail from Matt and Rob letting me know that I was expected to be playing with terabytes of data as soon as possible. Exciting, to say the least.
The project seemed like a perfect fit for Hadoop specifically Amazon's Elastic MapReduce (EMR). So, I grabbed the company card, signed up, and dove right in. It's been quite a learning experience.
After a few months learning the particulars of Amazon's flavor of cloud computing and Hadoop's take on distributed computing, I've developed a relationship with Hadoop as complicated as any MapReduce job – I've learned to love and loathe it at the same time.
The Good
EMR is incredibly easy to interface with, despite some of Amazon's tools being less-than stellar (I'm looking at you, Ruby CLI). The third-party APIs tend to be excellent. We've been using boto heavily.
Hadoop Streaming jobs are, like most everyone else on the internet will tell you, awesome for rapid prototyping and development. The rest of the Science team and I are not super concerned with speed for most of what we do in Hadoop, so we're perfect users for Streaming jobs. We iterate on our models constantly, and Streaming makes it possible to easily test their behavior over whatever data we please.
The ability to include HIVE in an EMR workflow is yet another awesome bonus. It's incredibly easy to boot up a cluster, install HIVE, and be doing simple SQL analytics in no time flat. External tables even make the data loading step a breeze.
The Bad
While Hadoop and EMR have let us do some very cool things that wouldn't be possible otherwise, we've had some problems too.
I've blown up NameNodes, run into the S3 file size limit, and hit what feels like every pain point in-between while formatting and compressing our data. I've crashed every JVM that Hadoop has to offer, broken the HIVE query planner, and had Streaming jobs run out of memory both because they were badly designed, and because I didn't tweak the right settings. In short, after just a few months, with what I would consider some fairly simple, standard use cases, I've run into every "standard" Hadoop problem, along with what feels like more than my fair share of non-standard problems.
While it should be no surprise to anyone that a lone data-scientist can wreak havoc on any piece of software, there was a certain flavor to an unsettling large amount of these crises that really started to bother me.
After running into the
dfs.datanode.max.xcievers property problem mentioned in the post above, I put my finger on both what makes a problem quintessentially Hadoop-y and why a Hadoop problem isn't a good one to have.
The Ugly
To fix any problem, you have to know about the problem. To know about a problem, you must have read the documentation or broken something enough times to start to pinpoint it.
Reading the documentation isn't an option for learning about
dfs.datanode.max.xcievers. It's badly documented, there's no default anywhere and it's misspelled (i before e except after c). But once you know what's going on it's an easy fix to change a cluster's configuration.
What's so bad about a Hadoop problem is that causing enough issues to figure out a cause takes a large amount of time, in what I find to be the most disruptive way possible. It doesn't take a large number of tries, or any particularly intelligent debugging effort, just a lot of sitting and waiting to see if you missed a configuration property or set one incorrectly. It doesn't seem so bad at first, but since these problems often manifest only in extremely large data-sets, each iteration can take a significant amount of time, and you can be quite a ways through a job before they appear. Investigative work in such a stop and go pattern, mixed with the worst kind of system administration, is killing me. I don't want to stop working in the middle of a cool thought because I had to adjust a value in an XML document from 1024 to 4096.
Never mind the hardware requirements Hadoop presents, or issues with HDFS or any of the legitimate, low level complaints people like Dale have. I don't like working on Hadoop because you have to keep so much about Hadoop in the back of your mind for such little, rare gains. It's almost as bad as having a small child (perhaps a baby elephant?) on my desk.
What's Next
The easy solution is to insulate me, the analyst, from the engineering. We could throw cash at the problem and dedicate an engineer or three to keeping a cluster operable. We could build a cluster in our data center. But this isn't practical for any small company, especially when the projects don't require you to keep a cluster running 24/7. Not only could the company not afford it, but it would be a waste of time and money.
The hard solution is coming up with something better. The whole team at AK believes that there is a better way, that working with big data can still be agile.
If possible, I should be able to access a data-set quickly and cleanly. The size and complexity of the tools that enable me to work with big data should be minimized. The barrier to entry should be low. While there are projects and companies that are trying to make using Hadoop easier and easier, I think the fundamental problem is with the one-very-large-framework-fits-all approach to big data. While Hadoop, and batch processing in general, has it's time and place, there's no reason I should need an elephantine framework to count anything, or find the mean of a list of numbers.
The rest of AK seems to agree. We all think the solution has to incorporate batch processing, somehow, but still embrace clever ways to navigate a large, constantly flowing data set. The crazy people here even think that our solution can be reliable enough that a Data Scientist can't be too smart (or just incompetent enough) to break it.

photo restoration & manipulation
Restoration is the art of digitally enhancing and repairing old images to restore them (as much as possible) to their original states. Manipulation is the art of altering images and can take many forms. Subtle manipulation might include colorization or the removal of small unwanted objects from a background. A more dramatic manipulation might involve removing people, adding people or combining multiple images.

Verizon Terremark confronts AWS IaaS with new cloud instances
Verizon Terremark customers welcome new support within the company's Enterprise Cloud IaaS for AWS-like cloud instances.
Customers foresee cost savings as Verizon Terremark makes over its Enterprise Cloud Infrastructure as a Service offering with new support for pay-by-the-hour cloud instances.
The updates to the VMware-based Enterprise Cloud, or E-Cloud, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering allow organizations that have a contract with Verizon Terremark to provision customized cloud instances and spin them up and down as needed.
I personally think the 'T-shirt sizing' approach to IaaS isn't ideal.
Carl Brooks,
analyst, 451 Research
Previously, customers would provision a resource pool of compute, network and storage, and pay for it monthly, whether it was fully consumed or not.
"Before, I could adjust resources up and down every month," said Sebastian Bricchi, software engineering manager for Juegos Online, a game publishing company based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. "Now I can bring things up and down and pay only for what I use."
Bricchi expects the new cloud instances to offer cost savings as well as new flexibility, although he wasn't sure yet just how much he would save. The company currently has roughly 200 server instances hosted on E-Cloud.
Pricing for the new service will only be disclosed to current and prospective customers, a Verizon spokesperson said, which makes it difficult to tell just how competitive Verizon Terremark will be on that front with market leader Amazon Web Services (AWS).
But the new E-Cloud instances are more customizable than AWS IaaS -- users can select between 500 MB and 16 GB of memory, and between 1 and 8 virtual CPUs (or vPUs in Verizon Terremark parlance), rather than the pre-canned small, medium and large instances offered by AWS.
"I personally think the 'T-shirt sizing' approach to IaaS isn't ideal," said Carl Brooks, analyst with Boston-based 451 Research. "This is one area you can clearly see where VMware is ahead of open source and startup cloud platforms, and one reason enterprises pay the vTax."
Along with support for cloud instances, this update brings new security features to E-Cloud, including role-based access control and support for certificate-based multifactor authentication. Previously, E-Cloud had supported phone-based multifactor authentication, but was not able to accept things such as RSA tokens for additional security.
"One of Terremark's great strengths has been the way it's been able to commoditize and automate very complicated audit requirements for a large number of customers," Brooks said. "What this boils down to is that they're taking that fancy automated compliance regime and pushing it out to cover all their customers."
AWS also offers role-based access control as part of its Identity and Access Management service, as well as multifactor authentication.
As part of the same announcement, Verizon Terremark said it will open new data centers to support E-Cloud in London and Dallas.

Reflex Neurovascular Dystrophy (RND) is a childhood condition that affects how the body handles pain. In adults, this condition is known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), even though the symptoms and treatment are essentially the same. It usually affects one limb, starting at a hand or foot and then spreading, sometimes to areas past the limb in serious flare ups.
RND usually manifests after the body experiences a high level of physical or psychological stress. A serious injury, illness or time of psychological stress is often pinpointed as the cause. In some cases, however, doctors are unable to define the exact cause. It affects girls more often than boys, and age may also play a factor in how likely a child is to develop RND.
Doctors and researchers still aren't positive about what, exactly, causes this condition. Most people do something painful (such as stepping on broken glass) and the pain signals travel up to the brain, which registers pain in the persons foot. With RND, the pain signal is also sent to the neurovascular, or sympathetic, nerve. This causes blood vessels to shrink, depriving oxygen to part of the body. The limb affected by this condition then begins to feel cold, and then, as the body react to the lac of oxygen and the build-up of acid waste products, the area becomes very sensitive and painful.It isn't entirely clear why the pain signals are rerouted or why they affect the body even after the original pain stimulus (the cut foot, in this example) is long gone.
Symptoms for this RND vary from on person to another, as it can affect each person differently. Some of the most common symptoms are burning and sharp pain in the affected area, sensitivity, tenderness, swelling, tight, shiny skin and redness. As the disorder progresses, the skin may thicken, and, without regular exercise, the affected area will begin to atrophy and become unusable.Over time, there may also be changes in the bones near the painful area. Some children will experience all of these symptoms, while others may only experience intense pain or burning in the part of the body affected with RND.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Because the symptoms of RND so closely resemble so many other conditions, or because it can be misdiagnosed as lingering pain from a recent surgery or other injury, it can be very difficult to get an accurate diagnosis. There are no tests for this condition, and the only diagnostic sign might be the changes to the bones near the affected area, a symptom that not everyone has. Diagnosis is most often a matter of eliminating other possibilities until all that remains is RND.
There is no cure. Pain can be made more manageable through pain medications. Physical therapy can help to keep the affected limb usable. Exercise, although often painful to do, helps to reduce the discomfort over time. In some cases, the physician may suggest surgically interrupting the affected nerves, preventing the false signals from creating the painful sensations in the limbs.
Stiff joints, thick skin and muscle atrophy are three of the most common complications of reflex neurovascular dystrophy. Individuals with advanced stages of the condition may end up with a "frozen" or immovable shoulder or a hand stuck in a claw-like position, due to the muscle atrophy. Physical therapy can help to prevent these complications of RND, especially if it is started early enough.

Is Yet Another FCPA Sweep On the Way?
Defense, Oil services, pharmaceutical, medical device and finance. These industries have this in common: They've all endured broad government investigations for violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the world's meanest anti-bribery law.
Law Blog is wondering if there might be another sweep underway.
Why? Because Aircraft manufacturer Embraer SA said Thursday that U.S. regulators are investigating whether the company paid bribes overseas. The Brazilian company said it had outside counsel in response to a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission. . .

The company is committed to sustainability by integrating environmental considerations into business activities, as set out in the company Environmental Policy.
Chocolate production requires energy at various production steps such as heating, cooling, and transport. All these processes produce greenhouse gas emissions. The company is committed to reducing the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions per ton of chocolate produced by an average of 2% over the coming years and to increase our share of renewable energies in our overall energy use. Therefore we have an ongoing policy of subjecting all existing plant and future investments to identifying potential for energy savings.
For example, the Lindt & Sprüngli Group was able to reduce energy consumption per ton of chocolate produced by 18% between 2008 and 2017 thanks to better thermal insulation and energy recovery. Greenhouse gases are reduced by 7% compared to 2015. This means that we have achieved our average energy and emission reduction goal of 2% in the Lindt & Sprüngli production. The consolidated share of renewable electricity was 33% in 2017. Lindt & Sprüngli Germany and Caffarel are buying 100% from renewable sources (certified supplier mix).
For further emission figures, please see our latest sustainability report.
As well Lindt & Sprüngli participates in the CDP initiative. As such, the Group discloses information on greenhouse gas emissions to institutional investors and benchmarks the results with peer companies. Some of our plants use certifications to improve their approach to environmental management and energy efficiency. For example, the production facilities in Italy and France are certified according to ISO 14001 (environmental Management). Lindt & Sprüngli Germany is certified to ISO 51001 (energy management).
Each existing and future facility and investment undergoes detailed analyses to determine how energy can be saved. Lindt & Sprüngli continuously improves its environmental impact as many different examples show. They range from new solar panel systems, to renewed insulations up to new machinery and LED lighting. We intensively assess the environmental figures of Russell Stover, acquired in 2014, to identify areas for potential improvements. We set up a new structure to measure the energy used and already implemented first measures.
For our latest energy consumption figures, please see our latest sustainability report.
Greenhouse gas emissions don't only derive from our own production facilities. To identify main climate impacts along the entire value chain, Lindt & Sprüngli Germany conducted a Product Carbon Footprint of four selected products. The analysis included greenhouse gas emissions along the entire product life cycle.
The findings showed that the majority of greenhouse gas emissions result from the production, transport and processing of ingredients. Especially milk-based ingredients have a high climate impact due to the enteric fermentation, slurry and manure, the production of cow food as well as the emissions resulting from milk processing.
Of the total twelve Lindt & Sprüngli production plants, six are located in Europe and six in the USA. Lindt & Sprüngli attaches great importance to purchasing goods and services close to our production sites and main customer bases. Key ingredients - except for cocoa - are purchased for the most part from local suppliers. The same applies in large measure to the purchasing of packaging materials. Paper and cardboard are generally sourced within the region of the production sites.
Several Lindt & Sprüngli companies have initiated green logistics projects for the implementation of efficient solutions for national and international transports. One example is Lindt & Sprüngli's European Intercompany Logistic Concept. Lindt & Sprüngli requires carriers to use mainly double floor trucks to transport the goods between the Lindt & Sprüngli companies. By this initiative, Lindt & Sprüngli was able to reduce the number of transportations by at least 15%. Further, two carriers have been implemented to execute intermodal (truck/rail) transportation for high frequent trade lanes. Lindt & Sprüngli also optimized the capacity utilization of the transport vehicles to further reduce the number of transports and environmental impacts.

The Client
Fami, founded in 1929, is a leading company in Europe in the field of furniture industry. It offers a wide range of products (40,000 sales items) as boxes, plastic containers, shelvings, industrial cabinets, workbenches and equipment for commercial vehicles with the "Store Van" brand. The company, which has grown over the past 20 years by opening 5 foreign branches (Poland, China, Germany, Switzerland and Austria), has more than 15,000 customers worldwide. Today the group has 390 employees and authorized distributors in Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Latin America.
Fami tried one centralized ERP solution to manage and have control over the worldwide activities. The major fears were related to the levels of guaranteed services, such as telecommunications with the Far East areas. For security, the company wanted another installation of Microsoft Dynamics AX in Shanghai waiting to get a certainty about the performance of data transfer and the application on a central server in Italy. He was looking for a managerial system to connect people and activities in the world and organize an inter-company system integrated to handle all companies in a single platform. From a business point of view, Fami wanted uniformity of total trade policies and a real optimization of storage and inventory, as well as to reduce inventory levels and achieve a higher level of service, since that production is organized with both logical production to order is in stock.
The Solution
The implementation project based on Microsoft Sure Step Methodology has been divided into sequential steps related to each other, with the use of two different operational tools, Microsoft Dynamics AX and Microsoft SharePoint Portal. So general and specific problems have been addressed and resolved with a single winning vision, minimizing the time spent on the project with optimum tools specific. The biggest challenge was to reduce a large amount of data, managerial and descriptive (managed through SharePoint) so as to make it easier and faster analysis, and enable managers to make the right decisions very quickly. Thanks to the flexibility of the product, the information system has also been integrated in real time with a product configurator for setting up of commercial vehicles. The solution is now being extended to abroad business locations in Austria and Germany, which follow soon the implementation of the Polish office.
The most tangible results were the control warehouse stock, production scheduling, statistical analysis and real-time integration with the Microsoft Office package. Now the purchase concern only what is really needed and planned. Another result was the significant reduction of the time of avoidance of customer orders. The contracts acquired by the distribution companies and the different business units have been made automatic, with various additions and intercompany procedures, dramatically reducing the workload of the functions of customer service. The overall view of the manufacturing needs has allowed us to drive more correctly the production of the plastic industry, overcoming the logic of safety stocks and reorder points through the adoption of a plan aimed at satisfying the actual needs. The most obvious overall outcome is the financial benefit.

They are comfortable with the routine and have little tolerance for anything to take place out of the ordinary. They are stuck in a rut which is a grave with both ends busted out.
We have a "DO NOT DISTURB" sign hanging around our neck, and any WAKE UP calls are ignored. That's what Peter was writing about in II Peter 3:3-4. People were comfortable for things to continue "as they were from the beginning."
The possibility and probability of the return of Christ was absurd. They had heard He would come back, but it had never happened. Skepticism was the result. In sociology, it is referred to as one disbelieving one's situation when faced with a grave or even imminent danger or unsettling circumstance. It can best be seen in recent years in what happened when Hurricane Katrina struck with vengeance on New Orleans. They had never seen the dykes break before and never expected it to happen as it did. They assumed that everything would be alright because it had always been before and refused to evacuate. When faced with alternatives, they chose the normal and stayed behind many losing their lives. The normalcy bias took its toll.
In 1945 Admiral Leahy predicted that the atomic bomb would never be detonated. Why? It seemed impossible and had never happened before. But ask Japan, and they will unveil the wreckage and ravage of reality of the bomb that Mr. Leahy said would never happen. Normalcy bias backfired in his face and left a permanent scare on the face of mother earth.
Normalcy is numbing.
- desensitizes us to disturbing prophecies;
- makes us indifferent to the need for an intimate relationship with God;
- apathetic to lack of signs and wonders in the church
- lethargic to the need for prayer and fasting
- satisfied with the hum-ho routine of preaching, programs and perfunctory rituals at church
Believers need to break out of the normal and with great excitement and anticipation look forward to the return of our Lord. It will put the spark back in singing, power back in preaching, passion in praying, the WOW back in worship and fervency back in fellowship.
Skepticism will never mute the voice of Scripture. Jesus is coming. It is not a matter of if but when. Believers are destined to rule and reign with Christ. The shadows of night are going to fade in the light of the eternal dawn.
Expect God to break through the normal and routine to do the unusual. I pray that we will be challenged by the words of Phillips Brooks who challenged his Boston audience with these words. "It is time for Boston to get out of the peck measure into the bushel measure."
Don't cower before critics and be dismayed by disgruntles. They are normal bias nuisances, but LOOK UP our Redeemer draws nigh. The natural and normal will be swallowed up by the manifestation of the Supernatural. GOD WILL BREAK THE SILENCE WITH THE TRUMPET BLAST AND THE TRIUMPHANT SHOUT OF AN ARCHANGEL and OUR LORD WILL BE STANDING ON THE CIRCLE OF ETERNITY BIDDING US TO COME HOME. (I Thessalonians 4:16)
- It will happen suddenly. I Corinthians 15:52 describes the event dramatically in these graphic words. "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised, incorruptible, and we shall be changed."
- It will happen unexpectedly. Jesus explained how unexpected it would be in Matthew 24:44 in these riveting words. "Therefore be you also ready for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man cometh."
- It will be like surreal. It's unimaginable. It will be like a bad dream for those who are not prepared to meet the Lord, but it will not be a dream. It will be real. His predictions will be validated. His presence will be convincing. His power will be compelling. He's coming. I know He will because He said so!
- It will be ultimate Supernatural invading the natural and normal. He came the first time to ultimately be killed as the Savior of the world. He will come the second time to be crowned King of Kings and Lord of lords.
Don't get caught in the trap of normalcy bias. Apply this simple formula to your life, and you can avoid it and its consequences.
Number 1: LOOK for His coming. Most don't. It seems bizarre and to far out for them to accept, but the Bible tells us that Jesus is coming back for the ones who are sincerely looking for and expecting Him to return. (Hebrews 9:28, Titus 2:13))
Number 2: LOVE the thought of His coming. The Bible explicitly addresses this issue in II Timothy 4:8. There are those who will literally love the anticipation of His coming back again while others abhor or ignore it. Love means to have passion for, intense emotional excitement and craving. May the anticipation for the coming of Jesus be like fire shut up in our bones that all the normalcy bias pessimism can not put out.
Number 3: And finally, LONG for the return of Jesus. John closes out the Book of Revelation with an expression of His longing. He said, "EVEN SO, COME, Lord Jesus." (Revelation 22:20) Amen and Amen!
Refusing To Be Normal!

KLK is Asean's No.1 paint binders supplier
It is now southeast Asia's largest supplier of paint binders, following the British firm's £10 million (RM49.4 million) purchase of Quality Polymer Sdn Bhd from Nippon Paint Malaysia. Quality Polymer is now placed under Yule Catto's 70 per cent unit Revertex Malaysia Sdn Bhd. Yule Catto is also the owner of the Synthomer Group, of which Revertex is a key part.
Paint is essentially made up of pigments, binders and solvents. A pigment gives the paint its colour and is mixed into a solvent. The binder, which form the bulk of the paint, binds the pigment to the solvent to form a very thick liquid so that it can properly coat a surface.
In an interview with Business Times here, Synthomer Asia managing director Dr Brendan Catlow said: "The Quality Polymer purchase is just the beginning of our plans to expand across Asia.
"We aim to have more than 50 per cent of our sales from emerging markets by 2015. The only way to achieve this target is via major investments and acquisitions," he said.
On the size of Synthomer's war chest, Catlow declined to specify but said: "We have a very strong balance sheet."
On details of the recently-concluded Quality Polymer purchase, Catlow said: "We've been in talks with Nippon Paint for over a year before we finally agreed on the price. This acquisition is all about growth, not cost reduction. There's no voluntary separation scheme." Quality Polymer, which employs 30 staff at its Pasir Gudang factory in Johor, chalks up an annual sales of some £10 million.
With the addition of Quality Polymer's 15,000-tonne facility, Catlow said Synthomer's paint binders capacity in Asia now totals over 65,000 tonnes a year. "Our binders are used in eight of top 10 global paint brands. In view of the increasing demand for paint binders in southeast Asia, we're planning to set aside more investments to raise capacity at the Pasir Gudang facility. This will be carried out next year," he said.
According to the World Paint & Coatings Industry Association, the 10 most popular paint brands are AkzoNobel, PPG Industries Inc, Sherwin-Williams Co, DuPont Coatings & Color Technologies Group, ICI Paints, BASF Coatings AG, RPM International Inc, SigmaKalon Group BV, SACAL, Valspar Corp, and Nippon Paint Co.
Synthomer is not a newcomer to Malaysia, having been in business here for 75 years.
Apart from making paint binders, it is also the world's number one supplier of nitrile latex, catering to the needs of the top 10 rubber glovemakers in southeast Asia.
Describing Synthomer's business, Catlow said: "Our polymers are used in a wide range of industries to create and enhance everyday consumer products. "Whether you're reading a book, opening a pack of breakfast cereals, painting your kitchen, labelling an envelope, laying a carpet, tiling a bathroom, using hairspray or simply driving your car, you could be using a product that has been improved by our scientists," he added.
Labelling bill unfair, Aussies told
KUALA LUMPUR: The Food Standards Amendment (Truth in Labelling — Palm Oil) Bill 2010, if passed by the Australian House of Representatives, would undermine the country's palm oil exports to Australia — a central pillar of the Malaysian economy.
Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC) chief executive officer Tan Sri Dr Yusof Basiron testified at the Australian House Standing Committee on Economics, highlighting the importance of the industry to the Malaysian economy and how the bill would have detrimental effect on various sectors if passed.
In August, Yusof said the bill directly targeted the Malaysian palm oil industry, which would affect almost 100 per cent of all palm oil products exported to Australia. Incidentally, these exports account for 9.3 per cent of Malaysia's gross domestic product.
The bill had also previously been expanded to non-food palm oil products, which meant that it was no longer a "food labelling" bill. Yusof said the bill was discriminatory because it singled out palm oil and not other vegetable-based oils.
The discrimination would directly affect the livelihood of almost one million Malaysians who were involved in the growing, harvesting, packing and logistics of palm oil products.
Yusof argued that the singling of Malaysian palm oil products from other food products also violated several principles of the World Trade Organisation as well as terms of the Asean-Australia-New Zealand free trade agreement.
The bill would undo the efforts taken over many years to bring Australian and Malaysian trade relations and bilateral ties closer.
Yusof said the bill would also have adverse effects on Australian consumers as there were costs associated with the label changing exercise, estimated at between A$5,000 (RM15,000) and A$15,000 per product.
The products affected in the Australian market by the label change are numbered in the thousands.
Yusof said claims by environmental groups that the oil palm industry had a huge negative impact on the natural environment were without basis.
The bill was the work of environmental non-governmental organisations with the aim of gaining a monopoly on the palm oil supply chain by promoting their own certification scheme for "sustainable" palm oil.
Also, claims by Australian forest conservation groups that Malaysia had been practising rampant deforestation for oil palm plantations were hypocritical and unsubstantiated.
Ironically, the United Nations' Food and Agricultural Organisation reported that Australia's rate of deforestation was at a rate five times greater than Malaysia.
Concluding his presentation, Yusof said the labelling exercise which discouraged palm oil product consumption would undermine conservation efforts in Malaysia, such as the Malaysian Palm Oil Wildlife Conservation Fund, as it supported the enforcement of environmental laws, wildlife sanctuaries and reserves.
The full report can be accessed at www.theoilpalm.org, an online resource initiative by the MPOC.
Najib hails Canberra move
MALAYSIA has welcomed the decision by the Australian government not to support a legislative proposal for the compulsory labelling of Malaysian palm oil.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said yesterday this was a decision that "extremely pleases" Malaysia, in particular the palm oil industry.
"I have expressed my thanks to Prime Minister Julia Gillard for this," he told Malaysian journalists after delivering his keynote address, "Building Infrastructure for the 21st Century" at the Commonwealth Business Forum at the Burswood Entertainment Complex.
Najib, who is here for the four-day Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, had earlier in the morning held bilateral talks with Gillard.
It was reported that Gillard's government would oppose the bill, which was deemed to be in violation of the country's obligation to the World Trade Organisation. The bill, however, has the support of the Liberal-National party coalition.
The prime minister said the Free Trade Agreement talks with Australia were ongoing and expected to be concluded next March. "This is a big plus for us. That is why it is important to have cooperative arrangement because it spills over into other sectors as well and is positive in terms of assisting them in terms of goodwill between two gover nments." The bill requires new labels on food products containing palm oil to identify the ingredients and carry a certification attesting to environmentally sustainable practices.
Malaysia has presented a strong case against the bill called the Food Standards Amendment (Truth in Labelling – Palm Oil) Bill 2010, arguing that it is in violation of WTO provisions.
The Australian Senate passed the bill in June, but before the Lower House of the Australian Parliament's debate, there will be a hearing at the committee level.
Malaysian Palm Oil Council chief executive officer Tan Sri Dr Yusof Basiron said such compulsory labelling of palm oil would affect the imports of food products and was a discriminatory use of the labelling law against the interests of palm oil.
Bilateral trade last year was valued at US$10.63 billion (RM32.31 billion), with exports valued at US$7.46 billion (RM22.67 billion), while imports from Australia were valued at US$3.17 billion (RM9.63 billion). Australia is Malaysia's 11th largest trading partner. It is also Malaysia's eighth largest export destination and 12th largest import source.
Najib, who was accompanied by his wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, would join 52 world leaders at the opening of the biennial meeting by Queen Elizabeth II at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre.
IOI maintains stand on deal turned sour
KUALA LUMPUR: IOI Corp Bhd, which stands to lose an RM83 million deposit to Dutaland Bhd from a deal turned sour, yesterday insisted that the latter had breached their sale and purchase agreement.
Dutaland, however, maintained that it had not acted in breach of the agreement relating to a piece of plantation land.
IOI previously announced that it had terminated the agreement to buy 11,977.91ha of oil palm plantation land in Sabah from Dutaland for RM830 million. IOI then said the cancellation was "due to non-compliance of certain terms and conditions".
On July 28, 2011, IOI's unit Sri Mayvin Plantation Sdn Bhd had signed the deal with Dutaland's unit Pertama Land and Development Sdn Bhd. Yesterday in a filing to Bursa Malaysia, IOI maintained that Dutaland, among others, had failed to continue upkeeping and maintaining the properties. It also claimed that there were discrepancies in the particulars relating to the properties, and that Sri Mayvin had communicated the alleged breaches to Pertama Land.
Dutaland, in its latest filing to the stock exchange, said Pertama Land had consistently maintained that it was not in breach of the agreement as alleged. There had also "been non-compliance on the part of Pertama Land under the agreement as alleged or at all by Sri Mayvin", it added.
Meanwhile, analysts said there will be a minimal impact on IOI's overall earnings if it loses its RM83 million deposit from the deal inked with Dutaland Bhd a few months ago. This is because IOI is a cash-rich company with profits of close to RM2 billion to RM3 billion a year.
Losing the RM83 million deposit on that deal would not make a big difference as the potential loss will only lower its earnings by three to four per cent, said several analysts when contacted by the Business Times yesterday.
"It's too early to say (if the deposit will not be returned) but if they can prove that it is non-compliance, then they should be able to get their money back. But if they lose their deposit, then there would be minimal impact on the company as it makes RM2 billion in profits in a year, so it won't hurt much," said one analyst.
It will not be the first time IOI will lose its deposit. In 2008, the company had forfeited its deposit of RM73.4 million after it walked away from buying Menara Citibank.
Analysts, however, said the Citibank and the Dutaland deals cannot be equated, given that the company had decided to walk away from the former deal.
Dutaland earlier said it was seeking legal advice and had notified OSK Trustees Bhd not to remit to Sri Mayvin the deposit of RM83 million being the 10 per cent deposit paid by Sri Mayvin under the agreement and any interest accrued.
Millers turn greenhouse gas to green energy
Sludge ponds emit greenhouse gases like methane after palm oil is extracted from fresh fruit bunches at the mills. OOI TEE CHING tells how palm oil millers capture this gas and turn it into clean energy by investing in biogas plants. These anaerobic digesters behave like our intestines, containing friendly bacteria that feed on organic matter to produce flammable gas and solid waste.
PALM oil millers in Malaysia are leading the way in "greening" the palm oil supply chain by capturing greenhouse gas before it enters the atmosphere and turning it into green energy and organic fertiliser. Under the Palm Oil National Key Economic Area of the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP), the country is targeting 500 biogas plants by 2020. This initiative is expected to generate about RM2.9 billion in gross national income and create 2,000 jobs by 2020.
Malaysia's growing green jobs sector is vital in our ability to create jobs and compete globally in the new economy. By leveraging on home-grown green technologies, millers trap methane from the sludge and channel it to gas engines to generate electricity.
The government encourages the oil palm industry to operate more sustainably. Since January 2010, the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water has pledged to facilitate RM1.5 billion worth of cheap loans via local banks for the provision and use of green technologies.
With these incentives, the Malaysian Palm Oil Board's engineering and processing research division director, Dr Lim Weng Soon, is confident that the country is on track to achieve the target. "There are currently 46 biogas plants in operation, 22 under construction and a further 46 in planning stage."
In a recent media visit to United Plantations Bhd's estate in Jendarata, Perak, vice-chairman/executive director (corporate affairs) Datuk Carl Bek-Nielsen said the benefits of this waste-to-energy project is extensive and varied.
Since the sludge is converted into biogas and fertiliser, there is no chance of it entering water bodies and polluting them.
While the organic fertiliser is ploughed back into the fields, greenhouse gas extracted from the biogas plants is fed into a combined steam and power plant at the mill to generate electricity for the surrounding community in this estate.
Bek-Nielsen said when biogas plants are being used to generate electricity for the estate's own use, leftover biomass from the mills can now be sold as solid fuel to others in the manufacturing sector for as high as RM180 a tonne.
Indeed, such waste-to-energy projects are gaining momentum among palm oil millers because the projects are not only kind to the environment, but also easy on the wallet. "It's also about economic motivation," Bek-Nielsen said. "While everyone wants to do the right thing, there need to be an extra incentive on top of the motivation of putting up plants that emit less pollution."
"Currently, we have three biogas plants in the country and they help a lot in terms of cost-savings. Although we've invested RM20 million to set up three biogas plants, the impact that we receive is really worth it. We've been able to reduce our annual fossil fuel usage by 25 per cent," he added.
KL-Jakarta talks to include CPO tax waiver
If both leaders were to agree to this proposal during their bilateral meeting in Lombok, Bali today, oil palm planters in Malaysia and Indonesia, particularly some six million smallholders, will benefit from higher palm oil prices.
Current high CPO taxes in Malaysia and Indonesia have caused refiners to slash prices in order to compete, and this, in turn, has lowered the CPO prices.
Since February, the global benchmark pricing for palm oil on Bursa Malaysia's Derivatives Market has dropped by more than 25 per cent. Yesterday, the third month palm oil futures closed at RM2,892 per tonne.
"The leaders will deliberate on the proposal to lift the high CPO taxes on both sides. It is on the agenda," a reliable source told Business Times. Oil palm planters in Malaysia and Indonesia supply more than 85 per cent of the world's palm oil. "There are about 1.5 million smallholders in Malaysia and triple that in Indonesia. If the CPO taxes are lifted, higher prices will make many planters happy," the source said.
The scheduled talks between the two leaders is a follow-up to the 11th Joint Commission for Bilateral Cooperation meeting between Malaysia and Indonesia in Kuala Lumpur last week.
Malaysia is the world's second largest palm oil producer, harvesting about 17 million tonnes of CPO a year. This, however, is not enough to feed some 20 refineries here. As a result, they need to import a large amount of CPO from Indonesia. But with the high CPO taxes, supply from Indonesia has become limited and expensive for Malaysian refineries.
Palm Oil Refiners Association of Malaysia chief executive officer Mohammad Jaaffar Ahmad reportedly said high CPO taxes had been detrimental to Malaysian refiners but benefitting refiners in Indonesia, with a price advantage of between US$72 and US$129 (RM223.6 and RM400) per tonne for processed palm oil exports.
He also highlighted that since 2008, Malaysia's annual refining capacity has dropped by almost 300,000 tonnes.
When contacted, the Indonesian Palm Oil Producers Association or Gabungan Pengusaha Kelapa Sawit Indonesia (Gapki) said it is re-iterating its call to the Indonesian government to revise the CPO export tax.
"The progressive tax is hurting producers and reducing competitiveness. Smallholders have no incentive to invest in the replanting and maintenance of their oil palm estates. We want the government to re-evaluate the ruling," said Gapki executive director Fadhil Hasan.
"We have been paying very high taxes whenever there was an increase in international palm oil prices," he told Business Times.
Currently, the Indonesian CPO export tax is set at 22.5 per cent while the maximum export tax on refined, bleached and deodorised palm oil is capped at 13 per cent.
Despite the Indonesian government justifying the high CPO export tax as to encourage the development of palm oil processing industry in the country, the reality is far from that. Fadhil noted that the significant tax gap between CPO and its derivative products seemed to be incentivising rampant smuggling of CPO.
Renewable energy tariff bidding from Dec
Nevertheless, consumers in Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah, whose monthly electricity bills exceed RM77, will have to start paying an additional 1 per cent levy to subsidise RE producers from December 2011.
The FiT essentially guarantees RE producers a premium selling price over that generated from depleting and finite sources such as oil, gas and coal.
Power generated from sustainable sources that will benefit from FiT includes that of oil palm biomass, biogas, small hydro and solar.
Energy, Green Technology and Water minister Datuk Seri Peter Chin said, "RE producers need to go online and bid for the RE quota and the relevant FiT rate. "This is because the FiT rate differs for different RE technologies and installed capacities."
Chin said this is the first time a government agency is facilitating FiT bidding via the Internet. "This is to ensure a transparent application process. The online FiT application system is available from December 2011," he told reporters after witnessing the signing of memorandum of understanding between Flexo-research Malaysia and Flexoresearch Thailand here yesterday.
RE producers have to apply for licence from Sustainable Energy Development Authority (Seda) via http://seda.gov.my/.
Chin said during the application for a FiT approval, an eligible producer will be required to submit the work plan for their RE installation/plant. Once the Feed-in-Approval is granted, Seda will closely monitor each RE installation/plant until commencement date is achieved.
This close monitoring is to prevent the applicant from monopolising the RE quota. This monitoring is important as once a FiT application has been approved, a portion of the RE fund will automatically be allocated to the approved applicant.
The minister said the RE quota is revised accordingly to take into account the reduced RE Fund availability.
To avoid any monopolisation of the RE quota, Chin said Seda's online system will track the RE installation/plant's milestones via the submitted work plan. If any delays are detected, a notice will be sent to the applicant to request for an explanation for the delay. If the applicant fails to respond satisfactorily, then the application will be revoked.
When that happens, the fund committed to the applicant will be released, and this will return the allocated quota to the system. "This is to prevent any abuse of the FiT system and to allow other interested parties to apply for the FiT," Chin added.

Jo, Breast Cancer
When were you diagnosed and what with?
In August 2016, aged 33, I was diagnosed with breast cancer
How did you find out you had cancer?
I'd noticed some changes (hardness, discolouration rather than a lump) and on my second visit to the GP I was referred to the Breast Imaging Unit at my local hospital. After an ultrasound and several biopsies my consultant appointment was moved forward and on 31 st August 2016 I was told I had invasive ductal and invasive lobular breast cancer that had spread to my lymph nodes.
What did you think and feel when you were diagnosed?
In the time between my GP, scans and consultant appointments I tried to come up with alternative reasons to explain the changes. Nothing fit and I did fear the worst, but nothing can prepare you for being told you have cancer. My initial reaction was of absolute shock, stunned to silence (unusual for me!). I then jumped to wanting to know what could be done and they talked me through the treatment plan. I had a mammogram, another scan and biopsy just after I was diagnosed, and I remember putting on a brave face, making jokes with the radiologist, just wanting to go home and breakdown there.
How did the people around you react?
My mum and one of my best friends were with me at the hospital on the day of my diagnosis. They had been more optimistic that me and it was a massive shock for them to process. My mum instantly asked, "why Jo?" and my friend was outside the room wondering what was going on. I couldn't say anything when I left the room as I was trying to keep it together, but it was obvious from my reaction it was not good news.
I'm an open person and had told a few people about the changes I'd noticed which broke the ice but still that part was very hard; seeing the effect of the news on their faces and having to say the same words over and over. They all enthused their love and support and I wouldn't have got through the last 15 months without them.
What treatment did you have?
I started chemo on 30 th September 2016 and had 6 FEC-T treatments. After that it was a mastectomy and node clearance in February 2017 followed by 15 radiotherapy sessions starting in April (over my birthday!). I was HER2+ and started on Herceptin on my 4 th chemo session. I was also ER+ and have been in a chemical menopausal state since my first chemo session and continue to have four-weekly Goserelin/Zoladex injections to keep my ovaries "asleep".
How did you feel through treatment?
I found this inner strength throughout treatment that I never knew I had. Still it's a rollercoaster of a ride with lots of up, downs, spins and shocks! I coped reasonably well with the chemo side effects (high) but the weird and painful sensations I experienced post-surgery took me by surprise (spin) and I felt quite sad when radiotherapy finished (low). You get into such a routine with treatment and it's the proactive response to the devastating news of the diagnosis. When it ended I felt like my comfort blanket had been taken away.
What happened after treatment finished?
I took a few more weeks off after the end of treatment and went back to work in June on a phased return. I had ongoing treatment with the Herceptin and Zoladex to manage alongside my workload. I also undertook genetic testing (negative result). It's been a massive adjustment and I still have to manage my fatigue but luckily I have a supportive and flexible boss.
How did you get involved with Shine?
I saw a leaflet for the jointly facilitated Working after Cancer course and met Emma there. I joined the Facebook group the same day and not long after a Hampshire
group was formed. I now go to as many meet-ups as I can!
What difference has Shine made to you?
Being able to talk to others of a similar age, diagnosis and experience is amazing. My friends and family are incredibly supportive but to talk to someone who can fully sympathise with everything I have been through gives me a real boost. Steph (the Hampshire leader) tries to mix it up with the meet-ups and we've had a board games night, ice cream and future events include a Christmas meal, ghost walk and Escape rooms.
How do you feel now about your experiences? What's been the biggest change you've faced?
It still feels very surreal. A mixture of a bad dream and a harsh reality. It's crazy how much I've adapted and just get on with it. If somebody had told me I would have coped with things as well as what I have I would never have believed them. I cold-capped throughout chemo so did keep my hair but it's thinner, a different colour and at different stages of regrowth. I find it so frustrating not to be able to style my hair as I did before and dearly miss my shiny, healthy, blonde bob.
If you could give one piece of advice to yourself before your what would it be?
I put too much pressure on myself and beat myself up when things don't go to plan, so I'd tell myself to be kinder to myself and that I'm doing the best I can do given the circumstances.
