The additional capacity will start up in 2013, increasing the total output of the plant to 200,000 tonnes/year. The companies say demand for MDI, which has wide applications including automotive interior components, refrigerator insulation, construction material and LNG tanker insulation in South Korea, has continued to show steady growth. Huhtamaki adds on to its portfolio Having sold most of its rigid packaging business last year, Finnish packaging processor Huhtamaki is now expanding its flexible packaging business by acquiring Brazilian film extruder and converter Prisma Pack Indústria de Filmes Técnicos e Embalagens for EUR20 million. Founded in 2001, Prisma Pack is a market leader in hygienic films in Brazil and also serves the food packaging sector. Hygienic films are mainly used in personal care products, such as disposable diapers, feminine protection and incontinence diapers. Huhtamaki says the acquisition will add on to its manufacturing footprint as it recently started up a new plant in Thailand and will be able to serve key customers globally. Europe to benefit from more PET Beligium-based BP Aromatics has entered into an agreement with JBF-Rak, the United Arab Emirates (UAE)-based PET producer, under which the latter will build a 390,000 tonne/year PET facility on BP's existing petrochemicals complex in Geel, adjacent to BP's world-class purified terephthalic acid (PTA) facility. BP will in return supply PTA directly to this new PET manufacturing unit. Start-up of the unit is scheduled in 2014. BP in Geel, belongs to the BP group of companies. Evonik to increase MMA capacities globally German company Evonik Industries is increasing the production capabilities of its methyl methacrylate (MMA) plants throughout the world, to meet the rising demand. It will do this by debottlenecking and plant expansion projects at its existing plants in Europe (Worms and Wesseling in Germany), Asia (Shanghai in China), and the US (Fortier) this year and in 2012. Upon completion of the projects Evonik will add on an additional capacity of 50,000 tonnes. Rexam to expand in India and downsize in China GUK-based packaging producer Rexan will invest in India by building a new plant and expanding its current plant, to capture the growth in the medical sector, the company said in its recent half year results announcement. However, in China, to address what the company says are strategic challenges faced by its business, where 65% of sales come from domestic customers, the company will look at relocating or scaling down its cosmetics packaging facility. It plans to build a facility in Western India to produce generic drug delivery devices and will double the capacity of its existing healthcare packaging facility in Bangalore. In its earnings review, the company's sales were down due to high resin costs. Solutia to build PVB plant in Malaysia US-based Solutia, a producer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayers for laminated glass, will build a PVB resin plant in Kuantan, Malaysia, where it also has a Crystex insoluble sulphur manufacturing facility, said to be the largest of its kind in the world.

Reconsidering "Say on Pay"

Note: The proposal for advisory voting on compensation referenced in the article below was submitted by Hermes Equity Ownership Services, and had been offered at the December 2006 Forum meeting as an example for U.S. adaptation of advisory voting practices.

For additional information about the Forum's project relating to the development of a model for advisory voting on executive compensation policies, see
Advisory Voting
Wall Street Journal, May 26, 2007 article
May 26, 2007
Executive compensation will be back in the spotlight Tuesday at the annual meeting of UnitedHealth Group Inc.
Shareholders will consider proposals to tie executive pay more closely to corporate performance, to curb special retirement benefits and to give themselves an annual advisory vote on executive pay deals. The health insurer is in investors' sights after acknowledging that it backdated stock options to enrich executives, prompting last year's resignation of Chief Executive William McGuire.
Similar shareholder measures failed to win majority support Thursday at Home Depot Inc., which has also faced questions about compensation. A "say on pay" resolution for an annual advisory vote was backed by 43% of shares voted. That's also the average level of support for similar measures at 21 companies that have announced results this year, according to Institutional Shareholder Services. The measures have won majority support so far at just two companies -- Verizon Communications Inc. and Blockbuster Inc.
Defenders of the status quo might be encouraged by those results. In electoral politics, 43% is a resounding defeat. But corporate politics isn't played by the same rules.
First off, 43% is considered a strong showing for a new corporate-governance proposal. The advisory-vote idea -- modeled on requirements in countries such as Britain and Australia -- first surfaced at U.S. annual meetings last year. Roughly 40% of the shares voted at seven companies last year supported the concept. This year, both the number of companies confronting the issue, and the level of support, are up.
That makes the say-on-pay movement resemble another governance trend -- requiring unopposed directors to win a majority of votes cast to be elected, rather than a plurality. Just three years after it first surfaced, majority voting is now the rule at roughly 60% of the companies in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index, according to Claudia Allen, of Neal, Gerber & Eisenberg LLP.
Here's another reason 43% may understate the demand for change: ISS's Patrick McGurn says several of his clients -- institutional investors such as pension funds and mutual funds -- have told him that they consider the resolutions too weak. They prefer to pressure directors directly by withholding votes for their re-election. That tactic contributed to the departures of former Home Depot CEO Robert Nardelli and Pfizer Inc. CEO Henry McKinnell.
Finally, consider the action in a more important arena -- Congress. A bill that would require annual advisory shareholder votes on executive compensation passed the House last month, by a veto-proof 269-134 margin.
Senate approval is hardly certain. The White House threatens a veto. And business groups oppose the measure. Thomas Lehner, policy director for the Business Roundtable, says the law would paint all companies with a single brush, requiring an advisory vote "even where pay has never been an issue." As a practical matter, he says, it would be hard for directors to interpret an up-or-down "no" vote on a compensation plan and make changes.
But supporters view the 55 House Republican votes in favor of the measure as an indication of the political winds. Home Depot's new CEO, Frank Blake, put it this way for his shareholders on Thursday: "We're seeing a kind of societal shift around what shareholders are willing to pay their CEOs," he said.

On Saturday 3rd March 2001 Kingswear Castle took a stand at the South East England Tourist Board Travel Trade Fair at Brighton.
There were usually three or four of of these events each year at different venues in London, around the South East of England and in Essex including over the years at Chatham, Tunbridge Wells, Canterbury, Dover, Folkestone, Eastbourne, Brighton, Chichester, the Whitbread Hop Farm, Southend and Basildon. We always took a stand and very useful it was too for signing up coach parties for our afternoon cruises from Chatham. There were many groups within a driving distance of one and a half hours from Chatham all looking for something to do for an afternoon out. This was our core business at Chatham into which we successfully tapped over the years.
Having already produced all the promotional material in advance, I put together the stand, boards and flags and drove it all to the various locations and manned the stand in the early years with help from Pat Bushell and as the years rolled on from Stafford Ellerman. Both were dab hands at chatting up group leaders and getting them to sign up to come for a trip on KC.
But for all the very many things I did at Chatham over all those many years I always looked forward to getting afloat and driving KC which was something which I enjoyed so very much even if sometimes it could be a little bit stressful. And looking back I think that I have been so very lucky to have had the opportunity to do all that with my life.
Kingswear Castle returned to service in 2023 after the first part of a major rebuild which is designed to set her up for the next 25 years running on the River Dart. The Paddle Steamer Kingswear Castle Trust is now fund raising for the second phase of the rebuild. You can read more about the rebuilds and how you can help if you can here.

10 Mar 17. The U.S. Department of Defense has delivered its fiscal 2017 budget supplemental plan to the White House for review, the agency announced Friday. The Pentagon was supposed to deliver the budget amendment material to the Office of Management and Budget by March 1, but that delivery was delayed. Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Eric Badger emphasized that the budget process is "iterative" and said the Pentagon will continue to work with OMB to finalize the details. He also underscored calls from top department officials for a return to regular budgetary order.
"Of note, the amendment doesn't change the fact that we strongly favor passage of the FY 2017 DoD appropriations bill, and avoiding a year-long continuing resolution," Badger said in a statement.
DoD is operating under a continuing resolution which caps spending at FY16 levels. This year represented the first time that there was a change of administration while under a continuing resolution. The current stopgap continuing resolution to fund the government runs out on April 28, and to avert a government shutdown Congress would have to pass appropriations or another extension.
On Wednesday, the House voted to pass a $578bn defense spending bill for FY17, but it is unclear how the Senate will act on that version of the budget plan.
While full details of the supplemental defense spending bill are hazy, a few concrete data points have leaked out. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein told reporters last month that his service will include some money for a light attack aircraft demonstration, amidst other plus-ups. (Source: Defense News)
08 Mar 17. Trump Administration Looks to Resume Saudi Arms Sale Criticized as Endangering Civilians in Yemen. The State Department has approved a resumption of weapons sales that critics have linked to Saudi Arabia's bombing of civilians in Yemen, a potential sign of reinvigorated U.S. support for the kingdom's involvement in its neighbor's ongoing civil war. The proposal from the State Department would reverse a decision made late in the Obama administration to suspend the sale of precision guided munitions to Riyadh, which leads a mostly Arab coalition conducting airstrikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's approval this week of the measure, which officials say needs White House backing to go into effect, provides an early indication of the new administration's more Saudi-friendly approach to the conflict in Yemen and a sign of its more hawkish stance on Iran. (Source: glstrade.com/Washington Post)
08 Mar 17. US Accuses Russia of Deploying Missile in Violation of Arms Treaty. The United States has publicly accused Russia for the first time of deploying a cruise missile in violation of a 30-year-old arms control agreement. Joint Chiefs of Staff Vice Chairman General Paul Selva confirmed on Capitol Hill the deployment of the land-based missile violates the "spirit and intent" of the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty. Selva's remarks Wednesday before the House Armed Services Committee were the U.S. military's first public confirmation of reports last month that Russia had secretly positioned them.
Selva testified the deployment poses "risk to most of our facilities in Europe." He added the move is an attempt by Russia to threaten the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Former President Barack Obama's administration said the SSC-8 cruise missile had been tested in 2014, violating the treaty that bans U.S. and Russian intermediate-range missiles on land. The violation was first raised with Russian officials in 2013 by deputy secretary- general of NATO Rose Gottemoeller, who was then the State Department's highest-ranking arms control official during the Obama administration. After several years of frustration, the United States convened a meeting of a special panel created under the treaty to deal with arms compliance matters last November in Geneva. It was the

New-look passports Feb 17th 2005 From The Economist print edition
High-tech passports are not working.
IN OLDEN days (before the first world war, that is) the traveller simply pulled his boots on and went. The idea that he might need a piece of paper to prove to foreigners who he was would not have crossed his mind. Alas, things have changed. In the name of security (spies then, terrorists now), travellers have to put up with all sorts of inconvenience when they cross borders. The purpose of that inconvenience is to prove that the passport's bearer is who he says he is.
The original technology for doing this was photography. It proved adequate for many years. But apparently it is no longer enough. At America's insistence, passports are about to get their biggest overhaul since they were introduced. They are to be fitted with computer chips that have been loaded with digital photographs of the bearer (so that the process of comparing the face on the passport with the face on the person can be automated), digitised fingerprints and even scans of the bearer's irises, which are as unique to people as their fingerprints.
A sensible precaution in a dangerous world, perhaps. But there is cause for concern. For one thing, the data on these chips will be readable remotely, without the bearer knowing. And again at America's insistence those data will not be encrypted, so anybody with a suitable reader, be they official, commercial, criminal or terrorist, will be able to check a passport holder's details. To make matters worse, biometric technology as systems capable of recognising fingerprints, irises and faces are known is still less than reliable, and so when it is supposed to work, at airports for example, it may not. Finally, its introduction has been terribly rushed,=20 risking further mishaps. The United Sates want the thing to start running by October, at least in those countries for whose nationals it does not demand visas.
Your non-papers, please
In theory, the technology is straightforward. In 2003, the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), a UN agency, issued technical specifications for passports to contain a paper-thin integrated circuit basically, a tiny computer. This computer has no internal power supply, but when a specially designed reader sends out a radio signal, a tiny antenna draws power from the wave and uses it to wake the computer up. The computer then broadcasts back the data that are stored in it.
The idea, therefore, is similar to that of the radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags that are coming into use by retailers, to identify their stock, and mass-transit systems, to charge their passengers.
Dig deeper, though, and problems start to surface. One is interoperability.
In mass-transit RFID cards, the chips and readers are designed and sold as a package, and even in the case of retailing they are carefully designed to be interoperable. In the case of passports, they will merely be designed to a vague common standard. Each country will pick its own manufacturers, in the hope that its chips will be readable by other people's machines, and vice versa.
That may not happen in practice. In a trial conducted in December at Baltimore International Airport, three of the passport readers could manage to read the chips accurately only 58%, 43% and 31% of the time, according to confidential figures reported in Card Technology magazine, which covers the chip-embedded card industry. (An official at America's Department of Homeland Security confirmed that there were problems .)
A second difficulty is the reliability of biometric technology. Facial-recognition systems work only if the photograph is taken with proper lighting and an especially bland expression on the face. Even then, the error rate for facial-recognition software has proved to be as high as 10% in tests. If that were translated into reality, one person in ten would need to be pulled aside for extra screening. Fingerprint and iris-recognition technology have significant error rates, too. So, despite the belief that biometrics will make crossing a border more efficient and secure, it could well have the opposite effect, as false alarms become the norm.
The third, and scariest problem, however, is one that is deliberately built into the technology, rather than being an accident of its present inefficiency. This is the remote-readability of the chip, combined with the lack of encryption of the data held on it. Passport chips are deliberately designed for clandestine remote reading. The ICAO specification refers quite openly to the idea of a walk-through inspection with the person concerned possibly being unaware of the operation . The lack of encryption is also deliberate both to promote international interoperability and to encourage airlines, hotels and banks to join in. Big Brother, then, really will be watching you. And others, too, may be tempted to set up clandestine walk-through inspections where the person is possibly unaware of the operation .. Criminals will have a useful tool for identity theft. Terrorists will be able to know the nationality of those they attack.
Belatedly, the authorities have recognised this problem, and are trying to do something about it. The irony is that this involves eliminating the remote readability that was envisaged to be such a crucial feature of the system in the first place.
One approach is to imprison the chip in a Faraday cage. This is a contraption for blocking radio waves which is named after one of the
19th-century pioneers of electrical technology. It consists of a box made of closely spaced metal bars. In practice, an aluminium sheath would be woven into the cover of the passport. This would stop energy from the reader reaching the chip while the passport is closed.Another approach, which has just been endorsed by the European Union, is an electronic lock on the chip. The passport would then have to be swiped through a special reader in order to unlock the chip so that it could be read. How the European approach will interoperate with other countries' passport controls still needs to be worked out. Those countries may need special equipment or software to read an EU passport, which undermines the ideal of a global, interoperable standard.
Sceptics might suggest that these last-minute countermeasures call into doubt the reason for a radio-chip device in the first place. Frank Moss, of
America's State Department, disagrees. As he puts it, I don't think it questions the standard. I think what it does is it requires us to come up with measures that mitigate the risks. However, a number of executives at the firms who are trying to build the devices appear to disagree. They acknowledge the difficulties caused by choosing radio-frequency chips instead of a system where direct contact must be made with the reader. But as one of them, who preferred not to be named, put it: We simply supply all the technology the choice is not up to us. If it's good enough for the US, it's good enough for us.
Whether it actually is good enough for the United States, or for any other country, remains to be seen. So far, only Belgium has met America's deadline. It introduced passports based on the new technology in November.
However, hints from the American government suggest that the October deadline may be allowed to slip again (it has already been put back once) since the Americans themselves will not be ready by then. It is awkward to hold foreigners to higher standards than you impose on yourself. Perhaps it is time to go back to the drawing board.

LS-SVM based spectral clustering and regression for predicting maintenance of industrial machines
Accurate prediction of forthcoming faults in modern industrial machines plays a key role in reducing production arrest, increasing the safety of plant operations, and optimizing manufacturing costs. The most effective condition monitoring techniques are based on the analysis of historical process data. In this paper we show how Least Squares Support Vector Machines (LS-SVMs) can be used effectively for early fault detection in an online fashion. Although LS-SVMs are existing artificial intelligence methods, in this paper the novelty is represented by their successful application to a complex industrial use case, where other approaches are commonly used in practice. In particular, in the first part we present an unsupervised approach that uses Kernel Spectral Clustering (KSC) on the sensor data coming from a vertical form seal and fill (VFFS) machine, in order to distinguish between normal operating condition and abnormal situations. Basically, we describe how KSC is able to detect in advance the need of maintenance actions in the analysed machine, due the degradation of the sealing jaws. In the second part we illustrate a nonlinear auto-regressive (NAR) model, thus a supervised learning technique, in the LS-SVM framework. We show that we succeed in modelling appropriately the degradation process affecting the machine, and we are capable to accurately predict the evolution of dirt accumulation in the sealing jaws.

Cummins is 'all in' on solar power for facilities
Columbus-based powertrain maker Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) continues to make investments in solar energy to help power its manufacturing plants. The company says a 14-acre, 3.6-megawatt solar farm in Nash County, North Carolina is now operational.
The solar farm produces power sent directly to the Rocky Mount Engine Plant that manufactures mid-range diesel and natural gas engines.
The North Carolina site is the company's second largest solar farm globally. Its largest solar array is atop of the Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co. in Beijing, China.
The company says it has completed 51 solar arrays installations around the world with a majority being built since 2019.
Cummins says the investment is part of its sustainability initiative PLANET 2050, which is an attempt to be carbon neutral by mid-century.
"To get there, our efforts must touch our products, customers, facilities, employees and supply chain," said Cummins President and Chief Executive Officer Jennifer Rumsey. "This project is a reflection of that, and our goal of reducing absolute greenhouse gas emissions from facilities and operations by half by 2030."
Cummins says planning is underway to add 44 solar installations at company sites around the world, including 15 in the U.S.

Before we delve in to the topic, lets get some background.
The various economic systems the Human race has seen so far at a broader level are as follows:
- Wanderer: Human race probably spent most of the time in this system, where the humans led a nomadic life collecting food or hunting animals. If they did not gather food they slept hungry.
- Feudal: After the advent of agriculture, the human civilization truly began. The Humans settled down to form villages and cities, issued currencies, formulated religions to regulate their lives, developed a system of governance etc. More importantly, the feudal system resulted to the development of a class of traders and business-men. In a feudal economy, we see that the religious figures are very powerful and hence less scientific advancement is seen in a feudal society. The production is done using muscle power of Men or Animals.
- Capitalism: As the feudalism matured, the business class became stronger and started to challenge the hegemony of the religious class. The societies start investing in development of pure science. As pure sciences mature that gets applied to develop technology and hence we see machines appear and start to get used for production. All the means of production are owned by the private persons and hence we also see many private companies spring up.
- Communism: Communism also advocates machine production and investment of "capital" but intends all "means of production" i.e. the factories to be owned by Govt and profits used for the benefit of the society instead of getting in to private hands.
Coming to the topic, India was a feudal economy when Islam came to India. India had its thriving business class who traded extensively with the Roman civilization in Europe, Egypt in Africa, East Indies in the Bay of Bengal and even Philippines in Pacific.
As the business class in India would have gotten stronger and richer (as happened in Europe), then factory production and associated technological, political, social changes would have happened in Indian society in due course.
BUT, that did not happen. Why? And how the Islamic rule played a role? Lets understand.
All the Islamic rulers who came to India were actually looters, pillagers in their own society. For e.g., in reality the first Mughal emperor Babur was a dacoit and used to loot. The least capable persons or the least industrious persons of a society resort to crime and looting.
Those heinous criminal elements of the society came to rule India. Not only that, many of them (for e.g. Mahmud of Ghazni) took away vast amount of wealth from India. Had those wealth stayed in India, then "may be" they could have been invested for scientific innovation, technological progress and building large scale factories as was happening in Europe (Venice for e.g.).
Other Islamic rulers (Mughals for e.g.) came and settled in India. Since they had the political power, the took away all the business from the Hindu Mercantile class. For e.g. the Mughals dethroned all Hindu business persons from the shipping industry, armament Industry and wholesale business etc.
Will give two examples.
First, the traders of Odisha, called Sadhabas (male) and Sadhabanis(female), used to trade with the East Indies (Indonesia, Malaysia etc.). They used to sail from the mouth of the Mahanadi river in Cuttack. They thrived till the Hindu kings ruled in Odisha. After the Odia Hindu kings were defeated, the Islamic rulers forcefully took away all the businesses from the Odia merchant class. The ships they used were called "biota". Even today on the auspicious occasion of Karthick Purnima, Odias celebrate a festival call "Boita Bandana" where paper boats are worshipped. Another festival called "Bali Yatra" is celebrated even today. This indicates the great trading traditions of the Odia society as they could sail as far as Bali in today's Indonesia.
Second, do you know, the wife of Jahangir(Nur Jahan) was the owner of a big shipping enterprise which transported goods to and from the Middle-East. At one point that entire shipping Industry trading with middle east was owned completely by the Hindu traders.
With the Mughals taking over the important and profitable businesses by force, the native Hindu business class who would have eventually spearheaded the Industrial revolution were relegated to the backgrounded. The Islamic rulers who had come to India were the hardcore criminal elements of their societies, they had no trading experience at all. Hence, they lacked the basic capabilities to spearhead technological innovations and bring an Industrial revolution.
In the mean time, the European nations like Italy, Germany, Britain, France etc. which the Islamic Ottoman Empire had tried to capture (but failed) raced ahead and brought in the Industrial revolution.
Coming to our last point, how did the industrial revolution finally occur in India?
All the credit goes to the British. The British broke the economic backbone of the Mughals. The British loot of India hit the Mughals (who by now had controlled all economic arteries) hardest. After 1857 revolt, the British confiscated all the wealth of the Mughals and hence their economic dominance was over. The Mughals had lost all their political power due to their defeats in the hands of the Marathas.
With Mughal dominance over, many Hindu businessmen started to grow. We therefore see many Industrial families like Tatas, Birlas etc. spring up during the British rule after the destruction of Mughals in 1857.
Summarizing the entire story,
- Had there been no Islamic rule, Industrial revolution in India would have happened during the time it happened in Europe (or may be earlier).
- The British by looting broke the financial dominance of the Mughals and hence helped the native Hindu business persons to grow. Had the British not looted India, the economic power would have remained in hands of the Mughals even today.

Division rebrands as UL Compliance to Performance, a service that goes beyond employee learning to full company compliance, safety, and operational strategy.
Most people likely recognize UL and its iconic mark for its centuries-old practice of safety standards and certification in connection with electric devices and components.
That business has thrived since the company's birth in 1894 as the Underwriters' Electrical Bureau, a unit of the National Board of Underwriters, and its identity through the 20th century as Underwriters Laboratories.
But, over the years UL has evolved into a brand with a corporate mission going well beyond electrical safety into "Working for a Safer World," including pharmaceuticals and medical technologies.
Expansion of Services for Life Sciences
To that end, the former UL EduNeering unit, which had built a software-centered educational system, now officially has embarked on a rebranding campaign as UL Compliance to Performance, an identity which division leadership says better reflects its transformation into a full pharmaceutical and life sciences consulting service. UL acquired EduNeering from Kaplan Inc., an international provider of educational services, in April 2012.
At the time, EduNeering was designed to fully focus on GxP compliance of life science employees through courses and a learning management system that were developed together with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Since that time, the focus gradually has expanded beyond compliance courses and software to working as consultants directly with life science companies, according to Isabelle Noblanc, general manager of UL Compliance to Performance.
At present, most work is done on shorter-term contracts, but there have been discussions on implementing yearly or blanket contracts, she said.
The Key Market Segments
As for market segments, Noblanc said the company serves all segments from large producers to CMOs and CROs, but one segment in particular seems to need more attention than others.
"We serve most of the largest pharma companies in the U.S. and also in Japan, but the large companies are more sophisticated typically," Noblanc said. "The segment that needs us the most includes the mid-sized companies, those about to commercialize products or have just commercialized products. They typically need more help than the big guys or the smaller companies that aren't quite there yet," she said.
The transformation of the division from software to full-service consulting actually began in 2015 when UL embarked on a program across its core business sectors in the U.S., India, Japan, China, and the U.K. to determine the goals and challenges of the life science businesses, and gaps in available solutions that they were encountering.
"What came out of it was that all companies no matter where they're located in the world were maturing from a focus on compliance to a focus on quality to a focus on performance," Noblanc said.
They had access to large consulting companies like PwC Consulting and Deloitte Consulting LLP to help them with their high-level business strategy as well as smaller consulting companies that were very technical in nature, but there was a lack of consultancies in the middle to work with them on operational strategy.
"We figured we already had one foot in the people-compliance side of things and we were already moving towards improving the competency of employees, but we were not addressing the process and our technology platform was only on the people side," she said.
Based on that, the division moved to add on-site advisory personnel to help companies move from compliance through to business performance, Noblanc said, and currently is in the process of changing into a modular, scalable, plug-and-play technology platform and one that can work with outside systems already in place.
An Opportunity for More Growth in India
At the time of the interview with Pharmaceutical Processing, Noblanc had just returned from a conference in India, where production of generics and biosimilars has exploded.
"The whole country pretty much focuses on generics and biosimilars now, and most of the clients in India who had just focused on generics are opening plants for biosimilars now or operating second units that focus on biosimilars," she said.
"Everyone is talking about the new (Trump) Administration and whether that's a threat for India, but government officials at the conference said 'we don't know, but we probably need to look at it also as on opportunity for India.'"
Government officials told the gathering that with price pressure now placed on drugs in the U.S., and with the heavy concentration of low-cost generics and bisimilars originating in India, the country should be in a good position to help the U.S. reduce prices, according to Noblanc.
The India manufacturers also were advised that in order to meet expected new opportunities in supplying pharmaceutical products to the U.S., they need to focus on a higher level of quality—a concept of "anytime compliance" so they're not just focusing on when an FDA inspector will come. Instead, they need to stay ready at all times and in all facilities, even when opening a new plant in a remote area.
Expanded Agreement with the FDA
In all countries, Noblanc said that the move for complete traceability and serialization throughout the supply chain poses a huge regulatory challenge for pharmaceutical companies today.
To help meet that challenge, Noblanc said her division concentrates on traceability in the supply chain, while UL's Supply Chain and Sustainability division helps with the transparency of the products themselves. A third division focuses on counterfeits, including in pharma.
UL Compliance to Performance recently extended its agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by five years through 2024. The previous agreement signed under the EduNeering banner through 2019 was in place to create and provide training material for FDA investigators along with access to the division's management system software.
The new extended agreement goes beyond pharmaceutical and medical device training to include similar programs for food and beverage investigators. The division, which now has similar training partnerships with some regulatory groups in India, is working on arrangements with regulators in other countries as well, Noblanc said.
Goals and Strategies in the Five-Year Plan
In 2016, UL Compliance to Performance acquired former partner LearnShare, a small Ohio-based software company that specializes in global talent management and performance measurement.
LearnShare's non-GxP training business complements UL's strong position in GxP, she said, adding that her division has plans to add quality and laboratory information management systems over the next year or so.
Over the next five years, Noblanc anticipates the division completing its transformation initiative with a technical system platform that suits current needs and allows for future growth expansion, along with global expansion of the consulting business.
"Today, we're heavily U.S.-centric because that's where we came from," she said. "That's why we've been working on our global expansion for the past three years, but in five years I think we'll be wherever our clients need us to be."
A second round of expansion likely would target Germany, Switzerland, France, Italy, and perhaps other countries in the European region, along with Brazil and Australia, she said. The aim is to focus on countries and companies that exhibit high sophistication and standards in compliance and quality.
But such expansion won't necessarily mean a reliance on additional acquisitions.
"For us, we look at acquisitions to fulfill and execute a strategy," she said. "If we're looking at strategic gaps we have today, we always compare acquisitions versus developing in-house versus partnering with someone, so we look at all three."

It was lunchtime when we finally decided that today was the day to do it – hike an active volcano and snowboard into the crater.
As we all gathered with our skis, boards and nervous laughs, I looked up at this amazing mountain and prepared myself for another adventure that only New Zealand could offer. I wanted to stay in NZ for as long as I could, so deciding to spend a winter working in a ski resort at Mount Ruapehu on the North Island seemed like the perfect plan.
This is no ordinary ski resort: it's on one of the North Island's most active volcanoes, smack in the middle of the landscape, two hours drive to the nearest proper town. The staff worked long hard days in return for a ski pass, wages to cover our partying costs and the opportunity to live in this awesome place. We were sat in the pub in the first week of the season when one of our newfound friends recounted a tale about how it was possible to ski into the crater of the volcano.
Over a few beers, the challenge was set! Week after week we waited for the perfect day: great weather and not too busy so we could all get off work early. We waited and waited.
It was near the end of the season when we suddenly found ourselves with glorious weather and kind managers letting us finish early. Apprehension set in as we took the lift up to the highest point on the ski field. I'd skied all the runs on the mountain and even ventured off-piste but this was going to be a whole new level of skiing. Our group of five were of varying abilities. Being the most advanced skier of the group, I also felt the added pressure of making sure everyone would make it.
Carrying our boards and skis under our arms, we started out on the tough 45 minute hike to the crater. These were seriously hard conditions: we had to check with ski patrol on the avalanche conditions, and the terrain just got steeper and gnarlier. With no ropes or hand-holds, you do not want to fall. There were moments where we had to help each other and remind ourselves not to look down.
Sweaty and pumping with adrenalin, we made it to the saddle to see the most incredible view of New Zealand. To my left, I could see Mount Taranaki on the other side of the country, whilst ahead of me we could see the South Island. More amazingly, a turquoise lake sparkled out in front of us. After some high-fives and a photo session, I skied into the crater, the wind rushing past me as I hurtled towards the lake of sulphuric acid.
Truly the best run of my life. It was so quiet and eerie, I couldn't believe I was in the heart of a volcano that could erupt any second. I watched the other guys follow me in and felt relieved that no one ended up in the toxic lake, although there was one close call!
I could have stayed in the peaceful crater contemplating life for much longer but with the sun setting, we had to head back. After some climbing and traversing out of the crater, we said our goodbyes to the view and started out on the slopes down. The snow was the best I'd had all season: crazy black run terrain and untouched deep powder snow.
A few weeks later, we heard a rumour that the volcano warning alarms were heard during the night. Whether that was true or not, I couldn't help but be amazed that I had been up there.There's no doubt that it was one of the best experiences of my life.

DIT Virtual Day of Research
24.2.2021 | THD-Pressestelle
The 8th Day of Research of the Deggendorf Institute of Technology (DIT) will take place on 11 March. Like last year, this time it will also be virtual. Start is at 1 pm. The event ends at 3.30 pm with awarding the three best posters and the best presentation.
Anyone interested in applied research at DIT can take a digital look over the fence for two and a half hours. Whether business, industry, society or even future students, everyone is invited to take part in the Day of Research. Uncomplicated from the office or from home. A total of eleven research topics will be presented. From the areas of sustainable management, innovative materials and energy, intelligent mobility, digital economy and society, as well as innovative working environments and healthy living. Each in three short minutes. After all, the aim of the Day of Research is not so much to delve into the depths of the respective scientific topic, but rather to create the basis for a reciprocal and, if desired, interdisciplinary dialogue. The same applies to the poster exhibition. The posters are designed in such a way that one grasps what they are about at a glance. This makes it possible to enter into a very low-threshold discussion with the young researchers at DIT. The three best posters will be awarded prizes. As in previous years, the trophy for first place was designed by the design class at the Zwiesel Glass College and produced in the educational institution's own manufactory.
Registration for the Day of Research is possible until 10 March via the DIT website: www.th-deg.de/dor-2021. Participation is free of charge.
Bild (DIT): Applied research at DIT is very broadly based.

Just like the name implies, adware is software that delivers ads. And unlike banners you may see online, these advertisements can pop up when you're not surfing the Internet and slow down your computer.
Many times, you get adware by agreeing to install it on your computer—although you might not have realized you did this at the time. It is often bundled with popular free software, such as toolbars, screensavers, etc. When you download this software, the adware arrives with it. Sometimes you are given the chance to skip installing it; sometimes you aren't.
Because those who push adware onto you know that you likely don't want it on your computer, it can often be very difficult to remove it. Here's where we can help.
At Unitech Micro Systems, one of our Engineer will run an extensive diagnostic checkup using our proprietary technology to find and clean your computer of all adware. And since this software invader often slows down your computer's performance, we'll also optimize your computer and make sure it's running at its peak. This includes:
The cost to remove an infection is greatly going to depend on the infection(s) and the
