From aircraft to cars, industrial machinery, ships, and white goods, complexity of products and the systems that keep them running is steadily increasing. CATIA enables you to model and compose complex products, while defining and executing their driving systems to manage this complexity and deliver products on time?
CATIA Automated Process Execution
Generate a standalone executable from your systems model for verification and validation on a MS-Windows platform.
The integration of complex embedded systems requires a seamless collaboration across multiple disciplines. To validate the numerous components driving the controls logic in everything from vehicles, aircrafts, specialized machine tools to nuclear power plants, companies need to rely on a solid and open process for overall systems integration and simulation.
To simulate and validate the different parts of the model, CATIA Systems Dynamic Behavior Model (DBM) Binary Export enables users to export their code for use in external test environments. Systems architects or engineers can automatically generate reliable binary code from DBM model components and can then leverage this code to check its behavior in various simulation contexts, as often as necessary and with minimum cost.
- Automatically generate reliable and traceable binary code
Generation of standalone executable Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL's) modules from a DBM model.DLL's that can be used either as a standalone executable that can be used with other tools, or integrated within a Simulink simulation environment. (Note: co-requisite on Simulink interface).

Digital 395 work begins near Mammoth this week
After three years of planning, Digital 395 crews were set to hit the area south of Mammoth this week, officials said.
"The plowing and boring south of Mammoth along 395 will be quite visible to the locals and there will be some heavy equipment for sure," said Michael Ort, the private developer for the huge, 563-mile-long high-speed broadband digital cable installation project.
"They start this week along that section (near McGee Creek), moving south toward Bishop," he said.
The company will also be working along U.S. 395 adjacent to Mono Lake with some big boring equipment, and up by Virginia Lakes with some impressive, big rock grinding machines called "rock wheels," he said.

What is Organic?
Organic" means the food was produced with agricultural methods that facilitate cycling of resources, promote ecological balance, and maintain biodiversity. Organic production does NOT involve pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, or genetic engineering.
Organic Labeling
There are a few ways organic foods can be labeled. Foods that are made with all organic ingredients can use the USDA Certified Organic Seal, which looks like this…. And can claim "100% organic" on the front label. Foods made with 95% of organic ingredients – by weight, excluding water and salt – can use the claim "organic" and also display this seal. Foods that are labeled "made with organic ingredients" contain at least 70% organic ingredients. The can be listed on the font label and in the ingredients list but the organic seal cannot be displayed on the product.
According to a review conducted in Brazil, some organic foods had slightly better nutritional content and durability, but more studies are needed to determine whether or not they are actually superior. (Sousa AA, Azevedo Ed, Lima EE, Silva AP. Organic foods and human health: a study of controversies. Rev Panam Salud Publica. 2012 Jun;31(6):513-7.)
Another review, this time looking at the safety of organic versus conventional foods, found that there is not strong evidence that organic foods are more nutritious compared to conventional ones, but they may reduce the exposure to pesticides and antibiotic resistant bacteria. (Smith-Spangler C, et al. Are organic foods safer or healthier than conventional alternatives?: a systematic review. Ann Intern Med. 2012 Sep 4;157(5):348-66)
I also found a review conducted in Germany that focused on organic versus conventional dairy. The study added data from the last three years to an existing pool of data and found that organic dairy products are higher in protein and omega-3 fatty acids and have a higher omega 3 to omega 6 fatty acid ratio than those of conventional types. Typically, the Western diet is high in omega 6 fats and low in omega 3 fats, but a higher omega 3 to omega 6 ratio is thought to reduce inflammation and risk of heart disease. The authors suspect that these results are due to the differences in the way organic and conventional dairy cows are fed. (Palupi E, Jayanegara A, Ploeger A, Kahl J. Comparison of nutritional quality between conventional and organic dairy products: a meta-analysis. J Sci Food Agric. 2012 Mar 19. doi: 10.1002/jsfa.5639. [Epub ahead of print])
A study on the environmental impact of organic farming found that organic systems had lower nutrient losses and energy requirements but had higher nitrous oxide emissions and required more land than conventional farming. Most studies did show less environmental impact from organic farming than conventional farming.(Tuomisto HL, Hodge ID, Riordan P, Macdonald DW. Does organic farming reduce environmental impacts? – A meta-analysis of European research. J Environ Manage. 2012 Sep 1;112C:309-320. [Epub ahead of print)
And finally, there is the now infamous Stanford Study. Published a few weeks ago, this review of studies on conventional versus organic fruits and vegetables found that organic produce wasn't overall any more nutritious or any less of a health risk than conventional produce, although it did lower the risk of pesticide exposure.(Smith-Spangler C, Brandeau ML, Hunter GE, Bavinger JC, Pearson M, Eschbach PJ, Sundaram V, Liu H, Schirmer P, Stave C, Olkin I, Bravata DM. Are organic foods safer or healthier than conventional alternatives?: a systematic review. Ann Intern Med. 2012 Sep 4;157(5):348-66.)
Basically, what all this tells me is that organic produce has its benefits – like that it is more sustainable, better for the environment, and contains less pesticide residue. But this doesn't mean eating conventionally grown foods are bad for you. While a conventional apple may have more pesticide residue than an organic one, it is still far below the level that the Environmental Protection Agency deems unsafe.
My Advice
Focus on eating more fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables overall, no matter how they are farmed. If you can afford to buy every single item organic, and are inclined to do so, then awesome, go for it! BUT, if you're on a tight budget, don't worry about it. The health benefits of eating more fruits and veggies far outweighs the risks brought on by the amount of pesticide or bacteria on the item. Especially if you wash it well.
Now, if you want to start buying some organic foods, I suggest starting with milk and dairy, since research HAS shown organic diary to be nutritionally superior. Next, move on to the fruits and vegetables known as the "dirty dozen", which are basically items with either thin or edible skins that are most likely to transmit any pesticides on to you. These are:
- Peaches
- Apples
- Sweet Bell Peppers
- Celery
- Nectarines
- Strawberries
- Cherries
- Pears
- Grapes
- Spinach
- Lettuce
- Potatoes
Finally, I'd like to make one last point about organic foods. A lot of people associate the word "organic" with "healthy", but this is NOT always the case. For example, organic cane sugar is no better for you than normal cane sugar, and a brownie made with organic sugars and nuts will add just as many calories and sugars as a brownie made with conventional items. When you choose an organic item, except for dairy, it should be because you want to choose something produced with a lower environmental impact and less pesticides, not because you are looking for a "healthier" or "more nutritious" food.

iOS 5 is slated to be released as a free update on October 12th for current iOS users. This is a bit different than in the past where iPod Touch users typically had to pay a fee of $9.95 for major iOS updates.
This probably means the rumored October 14th release date for the next hardware version of iPhone is right on track. Software typically is released officially just a few days beforehand so the new hardware can come with new software straight out of the box.
We're still covering the Let's Talk iPhone event live. Come chat with us!

Windsor-Essex: An Intelligent Community
The Intelligent Community Forum is an independent international organization that rates communities for their use of Information Technology (I.T.) to grow within the new Global Knowledge Economy. That organization recently rated Windsor-Essex among the world's Top 7 places and shortlisted us for recognition as #1 worldwide.
It's not just because of our world-class fibre optic networks and the connectivity this makes available to every facet of the community. It's not just the depth of knowledge among our area's businesses that effortlessly interact every day with clients, suppliers and affiliate organizations all over the globe.
The ICF also recognized the amazing pace of recovery that is helping our area emerge as a new and dynamic force in market sectors far beyond our traditional economic roots.
Yes, we have brainpower and I.T. that place us among the world's most impressive communities. But we also have something else, something that is equally important: a community spirit and a relentless drive to be the best, regardless of the challenges we face. Like most communities, we don't always recognize our own strengths. But thanks to the ICF, the rest of the world now does.

A summery dish of chicken with bacon
Recipe originally posted in August 2006, fully revised and updated with a new photo in June 2013.
The first time I cooked this delicious dish was in August 2006 in Edinburgh. I had some Estonian visitors from Cambridge. Trying to stay close to our Nordic roots, I had boiled some potatoes (the staple back home) and scoured the Swedish Arla site for recipes. This recipe for klassisk sommarkyckling aka Classic Summer Chicken caught my eye and, with small adaptations, was served to my friends. They liked it, as did I. The creamy-mustardy sauce was especially delicious, and dill added a very summery touch indeed (the original recipe used chives, which also sounds lovely).
That was seven years ago - and I still cook this to my family every now and then. I'm especially fond of the crispy bacon garnish, which complements the mild chicken and the creamy mustard sauce beautifully.
Chicken with creamy mustard and dill sauce and crispy bacon
(Suvine kanaroog koore-sinepikastmega)
Serves 4
about 500 g chicken thigh fillets or chicken breast escalopes*
butter for frying
200 ml whipping or double cream
2 tsp Dijon mustard or 1 heaped Tbsp mild MEIRA mustard
2-3 cloves of young garlic, skins off and slightly crushed
100 grams of smoked bacon rashers, chopped
3-4 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
To serve:
500-750 grams of new potatoes, boiled
sliced cucumbers or this wonderful shaken Estonian cucumber salad
Heat the butter in a heavy-bottomed frying pan. Add chicken fillets and brown on both sides (7-8 minutes in total).
Pour over the cream, add garlic cloves and mustard. Cover the pan and simmer on a medium heat for about 10 minutes.
Add the chopped dill, season with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, fry chopped bacon on a dry non-stick pan until golden brown and crispy. Transfer onto a sheet of kitchen paper to drain off excess fat.
To serve, place chicken fillets on heated plates, pour some sauce on top and sprinkle with crispy bacon.
* A chicken escalope (also called 'scallop') is a thin piece of chicken breast meat that's been pounded to make it thinner. If you cannot find them at your butcher or local supermarket, then it is really easy to make them yourself.
Place a large chicken breast on your chopping board and cut it horizontally into two. If your chicken breasts are on the small side, then cover with clingfilm/plastic wrap and simply pound them with a rolling pin until about 3-4 mm thick.

Looks good! Glad you made the leap of faith with chicken and bacon! I absolutely love the combination. As plain chicken tends to be a bit bland unless heavily spiced, the juicy tastiness of bacon is just the right thing to liven it up.
One good (and British) way to roast a whole chicken in the oven is to cover it with strips of bacon. The bacon protects the chicken from drying up and prevents its surface from charring - and also gets lovely and crisp in the process. Optimally, the chicken is put in the oven without bacon and the strips are laid on it when the chicken is approximiately halfway done.

Kalyn - thanks! Note that the original recipe used chives instead of dill, and heated the cucumber slices through at the end (i.e. included them in the sauce).
How would it score on your South Beach Diet?
Pam, oh please do! I'm sure you can get some good bacon in Switzerland to go with the chicken.
Pippurimylly - I'm happy to have leaped, too:) I've seen the bacon covered turkey here in the UK, but it would surely work with chicken, too. And I have sometimes grabbed chicken & bacon sarnie for lunch. Just hadn't combined these two in my kitchen yet..
Clivia - I agree, Arla is good. I guess some 5 per cent of the recipes in my Estonian language database are from Arla. The dishes are very suitable for an Estonian palate, too, which is probably the reason why I rely on Arla so much.
K&S - it tasted good, too:)

I'm including this recipe today in a feature on my blog I call South Beach Recipes of the Week, where I spotlight South Beach friendly recipes I find on other great blogs.

(So I guess it scores very well on South Beach, wouldn't you say!)

See tundub küll väga maitsev, mitu lemmikmaitset üheskoos... peekon ja kana ja sinep ja ...
Kuna peale pikka puhkamist on külmik õte tühi, siis saab nüüd poenimekirja täiendada :D

Kalyn - you're too kind! It is an honour to be included in your round-up, and I'm glad to know that this chicken dish would pass the strict GI test (with some modifications, that is).
Jeanne - I wish I had known it earlier that this is a winning combination. I could have avoided many anxious moments of "what to cook for tonight":)
Thredahlia - tore, et maitsev tundub. Anna teada, kuidas siis tegelikult maitses! Ja Põltsamaa kange sinep ajab vist ka asja ära..

Maitses väga hästi, Põltsamaa sinepiga ja tilli asemel vähese murulauguga :)
See sobib vist isegi mu karnivoorsete kalduvustega meeslemmikule - kohe kaks liha korraga. Teen kindlasti inimkatseid, kui juhus avaneb :D.

Rõõm kuulda! Muide, rootslaste originaalretseptis oligi kasutatud murulauku, aga mul oli kapis kokkamise hetkel vaid tilli. Loodetavasti lähevad ka inimkatsed edukalt;)

Pille, just wanted to let you know that I've tried this - being a Swede living in Amsterdam, finding this (Swedish) recipe on an Estonian expat blog in Scotland I felt I had to close the circle somehow. It was absolutely delicious and my take on it is on http://mums.blogsome.com/2006/08/23/sommarkyckling/ . (I am guessing that if your Swedish is good enough to decipher the original recipe you might also be able to decipher the credit you're given. ;))

Klopitud kurgisalat on nii maitsev! Häda on selle valmistamisega UK-s, kus ei leidu kanget äädikat ja lahja kohaliku äädikaga see lihtsalt välja ei tule. Hakka või Eestist äädikat smugeldama :)

Members from the Maker community have come together to form Maker Foundation, a non-profit society aimed at curating Maker events, and facilitating Maker projects around the city of Vancouver. Vancouver Mini Maker Faire is going to back in full steam for 2013 on June 1st and 2nd, at the PNE Forum.

As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on December 4, 2013
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on December 4, 2013
H.R. 915 would authorize a nonprofit organization to establish a commemorative work on federal lands in the District of Columbia. Enacting the legislation would affect direct spending; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. However, CBO estimates that the net effect on the budget would not be significant in any year. Enacting H.R. 915 would not affect revenues.
The legislation would authorize the Peace Corps Commemorative Foundation to establish a memorial to honor the Peace Corps. The memorial project, which would be completed without the use of federal funds, would be subject to the requirements of the Commemorative Works Act. Under that act, any entity that receives a permit to construct a memorial in the District of Columbia or its environs must donate to the National Park Foundation (a nonprofit organization) an amount equal to 10 percent of the memorial's estimated construction cost. That amount, as well as any project funds remaining after construction of the memorial, would be available in future years for maintenance of the memorial.
Based on the experience of similar commemorative projects, CBO expects that any amounts collected by the federal government would not be received for several years and would be offset by a transfer to the National Park Foundation (a nonfederal entity) soon thereafter.
H.R. 915 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments.
On December 9, 2013, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for S. 230, as ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on December 4, 2013. The two pieces of legislation are similar, and the CBO cost estimates are the same.

I was just wondering what you thought about pursuit of justice as a talent for protection paladins running instances and raids. Is it a useful talent? Does it have a noticeable impact on the amount of spell damage the paladin takes? Does it even work for PvE, or is it only worth it for PvP? My husband has a prot pally and we were noticing a bit of difficulty in Magisters Terrace from the large amount of damage done by spellcasters. We're finding conflicting reports from google searches, and wondered if you knew one way or the other?
As far as I know, Pursuit of Justice will work in PvE. Your husband's paladin will take 3% less spell damage overall, which can help in magic-heavy fights. And the speed increase is really nice.
The real problem is where do you take the extra points from? The best idea is probably stealing some points from Anticipation. You'll take a little more physical damage, in order to take a little less spell damage. I'd suggest a build like this: 0/46/15.
Also, if you raid, be careful to stay both uncrittable and uncrushable if you do this. If your defense is too low, and you can't afford to lose points in Anticipation, I'd probably take the points from Precision instead.

It's scarcely news that an ill-advised photo posted to a social networking site can yield trouble at work. But seldom is the fracas quite as high profile as in the case of Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau, who got snapped with some colleagues jokingly groping a cardboard cutout of primary-rival-turned-prospective-secstate Hillary Clinton. The picture made its way to Facebook, and some folks around the feminist blogosphere are now calling for his head.
Now, sure, it's disappointing to see an important aide to a future president—twentysomething or not—cutting up like a frat boy. If he's doing this around professional colleagues, it certainly shows dubious judgment. But this also, I think, illustrates Jeff Rosen's point how digital media's redrawing of the boundaries of privacy subjects us to a persistent threat of being judged out of context.
Lots of the commenters at the Feministe post linked above assume that this was about the sexual humiliation of a female political rival. Well, maybe. It may also have been a goofy pantomime of the pivot to "party unity" after a fierce primary battle. We don't actually know anything about who else was there, how they felt about it, or what the social dynamic among the staffers was like. Either way, though, Favreau is suddenly defined in terms of this single frozen instant in the minds of thousands of people.
I don't think the feminist critiques of stuff like this should just be shrugged off with an "only a joke" or a "boys will be boys." But really, do any of us want to live in a world where an unguarded moment can this easily become your public identity? And is it healthy for politics to select only for people prepared to live under a level of scrutiny that demands each private moment be treated as potential front-page news?

In high school, every hipster doofus had to read "Dune." Slogged my way through 504 pages. Threw it down with 40 pages to go out of pure disgust. I wouldn't give Frank Herbert the satisfaction of finishing this waste of good pine.
The thing I remember from 30-plus years ago is these "Dune" worms were seemingly unstoppable. Just like Conficker. This Windows worm, now nearing its fifth birthday, isn't just old. It also hasn't been seriously updated for two years. Despite the neglect, Conficker remains a major threat, Redmond warns. In the last three years infections have increased 225 percent, and it's on pace to infect 2 million systems in the coming months.
The biggest hole Conficker strolls through is weak passwords. Strengthen these and you're halfway there. Want to be almost all the way home? Keep your systems patched. It's almost that easy and that fundamental.
In general, Microsoft sees threats going down some 30 percent for high vulnerabilities in the half of the last year. I'll take that. Want more, but I'll take that.
I know this item will aggravate a bunch of "Dune" fans, many of whom swallowed all 14 volumes, and for that I apologize. Herbert clearly has more talent in his little find than I have in my entire Periproct. I also happen to hate "Ulysses," considered the best novel ever written. Bah!
Am I wrong to think that Dune is one of the most overwritten books out there (let's try to keep religion out of it)? Fire up your keyboard and mail missives to email@example.com.

This week, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) described a high-risk security vulnerability (CVE-2019-5736) for organizations using containers that could lead to compromised host systems.
Microsoft on Friday issued an advisory for Windows 10 version 1809 users about possible Visual Studio crashes.
Microsoft typically gives users a blank canvas to compose new e-mails in Outlook. In some corporate environments, however, a blank canvas isn't a good thing.
Microsoft plans to slightly alter its Windows servicing lingo and management behavior with its next Windows 10 operating system feature update release, coming this spring.

All marketing through the Internet should include many different marketing methods but it should always with good search engine optimization (US) – optimisation (UK) strategies.
Before I start I would like to quote my friend Shari Thurow:
"Search friendliness isn't only about Google, Yahoo!, MSN Search, Teoma, or any other crawler-based search engine or human-based directory. Search friendliness is first and foremost about site visitors. Having a search-friendly site is far more important than having a search-engine-friendly site."
So having quoted that golden rule let's start.
SEO strategies
The first thing to remember is that nothing is achieved over night. Search engine optimization is a process. Search engine algorithms is never the same between each engine and they consist of many different elements and can be quite complex. REMEMBER that over doing this might get you banned or demoted by the search engines, there is a very thin line between GOOD SEO strategies and BAD.
What is Search Engine Marketing? Two of the main characteristics are typically referred to as on-page optimization and off-page optimization.
So what are these two?
1. On-page optimization,content of your web page that you can optimize yourself.
2. Off-page optimization,content of linking and how your link partner sites link to you.
On-page optimization:
– Each web page should have its own, unique, descriptive title tag, description tag and keywords. The keywords tag is seldom used nowadays. But having said that; I would recommend that each page should have some unique keywords for that page.
# Keep your content fresh and updated and try as you can to have it build up as quality, informative content.
# Be sure your title tag contains your best keyword or keyword phrase; remember that the search engines neither do nor read more that 65 to 72 characters including spaces. So writing more than that may even hurt you.
# Search engines look for quality, structure and organization. Using header tags indicates good outline of form and structure of content. Use header tagsin the body of your page text. Header tags are H1, H2, H3 etc. and their look and feel can be managed with Style Sheets (CSS).
# Bold your keyword or keyword phrases, but don't doit much more than once or twice. It's also a good idea to italicize and underline them once as well. Some say it's good to have a major keyword in the beging pharagraph of a text and in the end.
# Pepper each page of your site with your keywords Use your keywords in the first paragraph, the last paragraph and sprinkle them in between. Keep your keyword saturation at about 1-2%.
# Use keyword alt tags to describe an image used on your page. Since search engines don't index images, alt tags allow the search engines to recognize all your content. Be sure not to stuff them with lots of useless information. Use your best keyword or keyword phrase and keep it short.
# Cross links within a web are very important, link your site pages by placing a navigation bar on all your pages. Remember to be sure that url name of every page contains what the page is about.
For example, if a page is about "fisheries machine" the page name should be "fisheries-machine.html" or "machines_for_fisheries.html" and all the links to that page should be named 'Fisheries Machines' and set up as:
Fisheries machines or Machines for fisheries
The ending .html, can of course be of different sort, like .asp, .htm, .php, .jsp to mention few.
# Create a site map. This is very important, site maps act like a table of contents for the site and can help search engines find, crawl and index all the content of your website ensuring that nothing is left behind.
Off page optimization:
Linking and link popularity, Google call's it Page Rank, plays a large part in the optimization of your site so don't just link to any site. Adopt a methodology in obtaining useful, quality links. Here are a few good rules to go by:
# Majority of your links should be to sites that have a similar content or theme as your web site. Be sure the site complements your site. It should be one that you would use and recommend.
# Growing link popularity should be slow and gradual. A sudden explosion of links could indicate spam to a search engine and there for do more harm that good.
# Try to link to pages that have high pake ranking, it inherits to your page. The higher the page rank of the page your link is on, the better. This doesn't mean you shouldn't link to pages with a low page rank.
# Try to have the title of the link's page something other than 'links.html'. If possible try to ensure it has some relevance in meaning to your site.
# And finally when you exchanging links you should be sure to submit your best keyword in the anchor text and the description text should include your second most important keywords.
The main thing in Search engine marketing is to remember that things happen on a turtle speed, but it's better to get there that not. If you have not made your web remember to lay-out the foundation of a good Internet Marketing Stragetie before you start designing your web or buying a Content Management System, it might be that the layout or the CMS are not Search Engine Friendly and can be a hinder in you goals to achieving world domination on the Internet.
Having said that I want to remind you of my quote in Shari in the begining of this article.

Listen to this article
As competition for critical resources intensifies, managers, employees and job candidates are demanding more from human resources.
Human capital management (HCM) software is designed to help companies manage workforces dispersed around the world, improve human resource processes and enhance employee satisfaction while improving efficiency and generating cost savings.
HCM is an umbrella "software/cloud services" category that includes recruitment, talent and performance management, training and career development, as well as the payroll function.
In fact, the HCM market has emerged as one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing segments of the enterprise software market and has been reshaped by a wave of merger and acquisition activity over the past 18 months.
Recruitment software companies and performance management companies have invested and merged to become talent management companies. Talent companies have invested to become bigger talent companies, and three of the largest enterprise software groups – SAP, Oracle and IBM – have entered the market by acquiring three of the biggest talent management companies – SuccessFactors, Taleo and Kenexa – for $3.4bn, $1.9bn and $1.3bn respectively.
Within the broad HCM category, recruitment applications help an employer identify the best internal or external candidates for a role and process their application, removing the need to engage expensive recruitment agencies and headhunters.
Meanwhile, human resource management software (HMRS) is designed to help companies organise, staff and pay their global workforces, and typically incorporate self-service capabilities as well as tools for the HR department and administrators.
Finally, talent and performance management tools enable managers to set specific goals for an individual employee to make a direct contribution to company objectives – the launch of a product, expansion into a new territory or targeting a new customer demographic, for example.
"Achieving your goals and objectives depends on the quality of people in your organisation," states Workday, the fast-growing, cloud-based software supplier that claims its Workday Human Capital Management is the only application that unifies HR and talent management into a single system.
Josh Bersin, founder of Bersin by Deloitte, a specialist HR market research firm that became part of Deloitte Consulting this January, says the growth in demand for the talent management software – and the surge of M&A activity associated with it over the past 18 months – underscores the growing importance of the HCM segment.
"As businesses around the world expand in 2013, they will face a growing shortage of talent and leadership," Mr Bersin said in his annual market review. "This will drive an accelerated need for business agility, career development and talent mobility programmes, leadership development and re-engagement of the workforce."
It turns out that strong talent management is also good business. Companies with superior talent management practices generate 26 per cent more revenue per employee than their peers, according to Deloitte. In today's complex and global organisations, the right talent management system can make all the difference.
Not surprisingly, therefore, a broad swath of companies have adopted new HCM systems and social media tools such as LinkedIn to recruit and retain their best employees. For example, Aviva, the insurance group, is implementing Workday applications, while Taleo's customers include Hyatt, the hotel group, and SuccessFactors serves Kimberly-Clark, the personal care products company, and American Airlines.
"Nearly every major business is challenged with shifting talent and business towards emerging markets, while grappling with talent shortages globally – all while improving the engagement, retention and development of their workforces," says Bersin. "In this environment, high-performing chief human resources officers will provide a laser-like focus on high-value areas that empower and foster teamwork."
Adding to the market's complexity, Mr Bersin notes that the HR technology industry continues to undergo significant changes. Cloud-based HR systems, now available from many of the largest vendors in the market, integrate payroll, HRMS, talent management and analytics processing into a single service.
Global spending on these complex systems is anticipated to grow 22 per cent to nearly $4bn this year – almost double the growth rate of 12 per cent last year.
"In 2013, technology innovation is anticipated to accelerate as mobile tools and social recruiting systems make obsolete many of the HR systems in place," Mr Bersin says. "New tools will empower employees to find experts, share information, manage their careers and become more interlinked."
Mr Bersin adds that the market for consulting and integration services is also growing. "Accenture, Deloitte, IBM, Cognizant and many smaller consulting firms have built large practices to help companies select, implement and integrate these products into the corporate infrastructure."
But, like other analysts, Mr Bersin also cautions: "Our research does show that talent management software does not create talent management."
It seems there is still a need for companies to modernise continuously and rethink the way they hire, train, manage and engage people.

Love playing phone tag with my sons and brother every Sunday and of course the Draft.
A lot of people think I'm nuts because I won't ever bet against the Chiefs. Even if they don't have a prayer.
Hope to meet some more old die hards like myself.

Framework: TI018 – ti018_0900_v1
9 - Primary or Horizontal Divisions
1 - Secondary or Vertical Divisions
Part of series: TI018 Timing 018 – Fishbone
Series Keywords: timing, phases, progression, timeline, fishbone, affiliations, contributions, participants, contributors, responsibilities
These frameworks are so versatile. They can be used to show so many types of timing concepts as well as a creative way to show process stages with associated text/graphics. The lines extending from the segments can contain participants, contributors, responsibilities, affiliations, etc.
The series example is an interesting way to illustrate the development and history of a product/market without the usual tables with bulleted text. The graphic designs are generic logos with the example company name. There's can be a lot of information on this type of slide if done creatively.
There are two versions, each with 12 segments. The thin version is for dates/years or single-word descriptors. The thick version is for larger amounts of text. The lines can be adjusted/removed as needed.

On the afternoon of 3 April 2006, I embarked in the chartered cruise ship Fuji-Maru at Tokuyama, on Japan's Inland Sea. Joining me were more than 280 bereaved family members and surviving veterans of the First Strike Force—the ten Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) warships that set out for Okinawa in April 1945. I knew that this might be the final memorial voyage for the mission's war dead. The scene from the deck was similar to the one I recalled from 61 years earlier, leaving the same port. Soon after the Fuji-Maru 's departure, I saw cherry blossoms in full bloom on the mainland and on scattered islands. We were now about to duplicate the same course the First Strike Force had followed in 1945.
I entered the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy in 1940, the year before the IJN attacked Pearl Harbor. My 624 classmates and I graduated in September 1943. After a two-month training cruise on board the battleship Ise , I was ordered to join the precommissioning crew of the 7,710-ton light cruiser Yahagi . She was then undergoing 24-hour rush work while fitting out at the Sasebo Naval Shipyard. When she was commissioned on 29 December 1943, I was assigned as assistant navigator. In the meantime, I was busy under the instructions of the navigator, gathering the charts and other documents we needed in order to be prepared for sea.
In February 1944, the Yahagi joined the first-line fleet at the Lingga Roads anchorage near Sumatra in the East Indies. She became the flagship of Destroyer Squadron 10. In March 1944 I rose to ensign and that June fought in the Battle of the Philippine Sea. In my first baptism of battle at sea, I was nearby when our aircraft carriers Taiho and Shokaku were sunk. Shortly afterward, in September, I was promoted to lieutenant (junior grade). Despite the efforts of the Imperial Japanese Navy to concentrate its remaining forces, the U.S. Navy defeated it at the Battle of Leyte Gulf. The IJN lost the greater part of its vessels, including the battleship Musashi . The damage on our Yahagi was considerable. Lieutenant (junior grade) Hirao Ito, my only naval academy classmate on board the cruiser, was killed in action while directing the starboard antiaircraft guns.
The U.S. Marine Corps occupied Iwo Jima in February and March 1945. By this time I had become the Yahagi 's target-designating officer and concurrently Fourth Division officer. On 23 February 1945, Rear Admiral Keizo Komura transferred his flag from the destroyer Kasumi to our ship. Soon after he came aboard, he learned that the ship's radar system was the old type. The admiral asked the Naval Ministry and the Kure Navy Shipyard for a replacement radar set of the latest type. However, his requests were futile because suicide weapons, including kaiten—human torpedoes—were the first priority at that time.
On 1 April, American Soldiers and Marines invaded Okinawa, not far from the Japanese home islands. At this time in the war, most of the remaining IJN ships belonged to the Second Fleet. Two of the three battleships, the Nagato and Haruna , were damaged; only the Yamato was intact. The aircraft carrier pilots were not well trained. Most of the destroyers were brand new, and the training for their crews was also insufficient. At that time, the U.S. naval forces off Okinawa were overwhelming; they included hundreds of warships and hundreds of combat aircraft. Even so, Admiral Soemu Toyoda, commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet, decided to attack the U.S. forces there with a surface force and special-attack aircraft—Operation Ten-Go. In his memoir, he explained that it would have been a miracle if the mission succeeded, but he would not consider leaving his ships safely in homeland waters. Despite the sacrifices involved, he was not willing to leave the Japanese soldiers fighting on Okinawa to their fate without trying to do something on their behalf.
At 1355 on 5 April, Admiral Toyoda issued the operational order for the First Strike Force. It was to prepare to sortie as a special, or suicide, attack surface force and then proceed through Bungo Strait, which separates the home islands of Kyushu and Shikoku. Vice Admiral Seiichi Ito, commander the Second Fleet, would command the operation at sea. The attack force consisted of a battleship, the Yamato , our light cruiser, and eight destroyers. At that late stage of the Pacific war, the Imperial Japanese Navy, once powerful and glorious, could supply only ten ships.

On the deck of the Fuji-Maru , we held a joint memorial service during the cruise from Tokuyama to Bungo Strait. The altar was decorated with wreaths from Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, sacred lights, and photographs of the ten ships. As a representative of the ships' crews, I made a speech. Dr. Kunio Kotaki, a retired captain of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, is the son of the late Captain Hisao Kotaki, commander of Destroyer Division 21, which was part of the First Strike Force. He gave a speech on the behalf of the bereaved families. Poetry was dedicated by two survivors and two priests, who were also survivors and entered the priesthood after the war. At the close of the hour-long ceremony, all the participants offered flowers. It was a solemn ceremony that touched the heart. During dinner that evening, everybody discussed deceased crewmen, the Special Attack Surface Force's battle, and the hard days during the war and afterward. We talked with deep emotion and comforted each other. I recalled that on the eve of battle, many years earlier, I was on the bridge of the Yahagi and in an extremely tense mood.
At 1600 on 6 April 1945 the Special Attack Surface Force sallied forth from Tokuyama. I learned later that even though the Japanese Naval General Staff had instructed the fuel facility to supply oil for only one way, each ship was filled to capacity. The Yahagi carried 1,250 tons of fuel. The afternoon was a bit chilly at 50 degrees, and a southeast wind blew at 15.6 knots. Thick clouds were overhead as we cast off mooring lines and got under way. The Yahagi was in the lead, followed by the eight destroyers, and the Yamato brought up the rear.
We soon increased speed to 20 knots and passed through the Bungo Strait about sunset under a strict antisubmarine warning. To avoid attack from enemy subs, we were taking a course close to land. We used infrared signals for communications among the ships. Gradually, the wind strengthened and the sea became heavy. At 1940 the attack force turned to course 140 degrees because of a warning about enemy subs in the Sea of Hyuga and soon changed to an arrowhead formation, with the destroyers positioned as a screen. At 2000, the attack force started zigzagging to evade submarine attacks. In the distance, astern to starboard, I saw the mountains of Kyushu in a haze, as if painted in black and white. Clouds were low and dark, and, as the ships plowed ahead in the dark sea, we could only clearly see the blue-white waves.
On board the Yahagi , at 2010, the radio room intercepted a transmission from a submarine, and then the radar got a contact that seemed to be a surfaced submarine at the range of 7,000 meters off the port quarter. The cruiser's commanding officer, Captain Tameichi Hara, ordered all hands to battle stations. I told a signalman to turn his searchlight toward where the submarine was detected and be ready to illuminate when ordered.
Soon, our men heard two submarines talking to each other via radio in plain language, frequently mentioning the Yamato . Ensign Shigeo Yamada, who was a Nisei (second generation Japanese American), translated almost simultaneously and reported to the bridge from the radio room. The enemy submarines were calling the Yamato the "king battleship." According to U.S. Navy records, which we learned of after the war, the submarines were the Threadfin (SS-410) and Hackleback (SS-295). Their mission was to track our ships and report their movements and to attack only after receiving permission from headquarters.
At 2025, the Yahagi 's radar again detected a probable submarine at 7,000 meters. The sonar room reported that the sub was chasing us and closing the distance. Our force changed course several times. As depth-charge men stood by at their station on the quarterdeck, the bridge was wrapped in an extremely tense atmosphere. There, Admiral Komura's staff discussed whether we should attack the shadowing submarine, concluding not to because racing to Okinawa must be given first priority.
At 2100, the Yahagi' s radio room again intercepted a submarine's clear emergency transmission to her senior command at Guam. Admiral Ito signaled our ships to immediate execute of a simultaneous 45-degree turn to starboard. The destroyer Kasumi reported sighting a torpedo wake to port at 2333, but soon she sent a correction. The supposed torpedo wake was made by dolphins. The formation's base course was changed to 225 degrees shortly before midnight. The special attack force, constantly harassed by the submarines, kept proceeding through the pitch-dark sea off the southeastern coast of Kyushu.
After dinner, other passengers left the dining room and returned to their cabins. I was left alone and ordered another cup of coffee before heading back to my cabin. This was the fourth memorial cruise. Previous ones had taken place in 1987, 1994, and 1995. This time even the youngest survivor was more than 80 years old. The veterans and family members had concluded that this would be the final such voyage.
The television set in my cabin showed the exact position of the Fuji-Maru , obtained by Global Positioning System. Moving at 16 knots, she was tracing the same course as the attack force. Relaxing on a sofa, I remembered that 61 years earlier I had felt only a bit fatigued despite standing at the bridge for many hours. I surely was young then.
From 0200 to 0345 on 7 April 1945, the attack force proceeded through the Osumi Strait at the southern tip of Kyushu. At approximately 0400, headquarters on board the Yamato received a message from Combined Fleet headquarters: "Between 0600 and 1000 on April 7, nine Zero fighters from the Flight Squadron 203 will take the direct antiaircraft escort." I had been up on the bridge since departure, so I decided to take a short rest. Shortly after I returned to the bridge at about 0600, just around sunrise, the attack force changed from an antisubmarine column formation to a antiaircraft circular formation. The Yahagi was the lead ship, 1,500 meters ahead of the Yamato . Breakfast for each man was a rice ball served at battle stations. At 0630, a lookout reported, "Nine Zero fighters are approaching with bank, right 60 degrees, and angle 40 degrees."
At 0657, the destroyer Asashimo hoisted a signal: "Engine casualty." She was ordered to proceed to southern Kyushu's Kagoshima Bay. Momentarily, the Asashimo replied: "Able to make 12 knots. I will follow the main body." But she continued to fall behind and gradually disappeared in the mist. I clearly remember that the bridge of the Yahagi was in total silence. The day of destiny began under such circumstance.
At 0815, the Yahagi broke from the formation for a short time and launched a reconnaissance floatplane from a catapult. It reported the approach of enemy fighters and later managed to land safely ashore at the mother base on Kyushu. Around 0845, seven U.S. Navy F6F fighters flew over and circled around the attack unit, keeping their distance. At 1016, two enemy PBM seaplanes were detected. The Yamato jammed the frequency of their operational transmission and fired a salvo with her 18-inch guns, but the planes were out of range.
As the morning proceeded, the Yamato 's radar detected more and more enemy aircraft—F6Fs and F4Us—but still no attacks. Shortly after noon reports were received from the Asashimo , far to the rear. She reported engaging enemy planes at 1210. There were no more messages from the ship. I was able to see her antiaircraft fire beyond the horizon through my binoculars; it was the last sight of her. Rice balls were delivered to the bridge. Crews remained on station during lunch, but I missed my chance to eat.
On board the Fuji-Maru , morning came on 4 April. The sky was covered by thick clouds and a strong south wind, as it was 61 years earlier. I exchanged recollections with other veterans: the deck officer of the Yahagi , a petty officer of the Hamakaze 's engineering department, a sailor from the Isokaze 's supply department, a petty officer from the Isokaze 's gunnery division, and the former Asashimo navigator, who transferred just before her departure. Their descriptions were fresh, vivid, and precious. In the afternoon, the Fuji-Maru arrived at the point where the Asashimo sank. She was the most tragic ship among those of the First Strike Force. All on board lost their lives.
The mourning ceremony for the Asashimo began on the aft deck at 1330. At the end, while the traditional Japanese tune "Umiyukaba" was playing, the participants grieved for his or her relatives and comrades and cast a bouquet onto the sea. The Fuji-Maru circled slowly and then proceeded to the last positions of the Yahagi and Kasumi. The memorial service for those two ships was held at 1510, and then came the one for the Hamakaze at 1600, for the Isokaze at 1650, and for the
Yamato at 1755 .
The reason I missed my lunch the day of the battle was because at 1220 the Yamato had detected enemy aircraft off the port bow, at 40,000 yards. At 1234, before I could put a rice ball in my mouth, the Yamato fired, and the antiaircraft battle began. At 1241, our force increased speed to 28 knots, the maximum for the Yamato . Before enemy aircraft reached the Yahagi , our crew had turned all torpedo tubes perpendicular to the ship's axis in order to prevent secondary explosions of our own torpedoes. It was a bitter lesson learned in the Battle of Leyte Gulf the previous October. We saw Grumman F6F Hellcat fighters, Curtiss SB2C Helldiver dive bombers, Grumman TBF Avenger torpedo bombers, and Vought F4U Corsair fighter bombers. The Yahagi countered them with an array of antiaircraft guns.
My job as a target designating officer was to report exact bearings and ranges of enemy aircraft to the gunnery officer and navigator. There were so many planes that it required a great deal of concentration. When under enemy torpedo and bomb attack, evasive maneuvers were the first priority for the Yahagi . This was the job for the navigator, Commander Ryoichi Kawazoe; I had great respect for his conning skill. The commanding officer and navigator were at an open-air post up on the bridge as they gave orders to the helmsman via speaking tube. Columns of water continuously rose around the Yahagi from the many bombs that were near misses. Suddenly, a young sailor who was serving as an orderly sank down helplessly to the deck even though he was unhurt. His knees crumpled under him because it was his first battle. My earplugs were blown out, and my eardrums were damaged. I had trouble hearing for a while.
The radar room reported vacuum tubes breaking due to the near misses, so the radar stopped working. Enemy aircraft machine-gun fire hit the bridge bulkhead and ricocheted inside the bridge. All the sudden, a lookout was hit and fell to the deck. Around that time, we lost the Hamakaze , which was steaming to port of the Yahagi . A bomb hit her aft deck and sent up a pillar of flames. She dropped behind before a torpedo broke her into two pieces. The destroyer sank at 1247.
Meanwhile, the bomb and torpedo attacks against the other ships continued relentlessly. At Leyte Gulf, the Yahagi was with a number of larger ships and thus a secondary target. But this time she was the next target after the Yamato .
More enemy planes appeared and suddenly attacked the Yahagi from a break in the low clouds, making it difficult to maneuver quickly to escape. At 1330 she was hit at the stern. The rudder and propellers seemed to be damaged, and the ship started to make a continuous turn to starboard. Then she stopped completely and began to drift in a swell. Damage-control teams were ordered to the stern. Weapons fire from the American aircraft hit the motionless Yahagi again and again. I felt my whole body shaking heavily. Because of the damage to my eardrums, it was as if I were watching a silent movie. Columns of water jumped up around the ship, one after another, taller than the mast. Steam spouted from the cruiser's funnel. The bloody odor of our dead and wounded sailors mixed with the smell of gunpowder.
Rear Admiral Komura concluded that the Yahagi would soon sink and decided to transfer his flag to another ship. He sent a signal to the Isokaze to approach. But because of the ship's list and the continuous enemy air attacks, it was difficult to lower a boat on the port side to transfer his staff. Unable to just stand by watching, I decided to take charge of this job by going down to the upper deck myself. By that time I had no duty as target-designating officer because the radar was destroyed. The Isokaze was approaching the Yahagi but could not stop because she was maneuvering to avoid torpedoes and bombs.
Just when we, struggling on the listing deck, succeeded in lowering the cutter almost to the water, the boat took a direct hit. The deck officer, Lieutenant (junior grade) Torao Ohtsubo, was called to the bridge and ordered to rush to the forecastle deck. The crew there was ordered to throw the port main anchor and chain into the sea. It was a countermeasure to overcome the incline of the ship as much as possible. On the center deck, the assistant antisubmarine warfare officer, Lieutenant (junior grade) Masayoshi Nakamoto, and his men were desperately trying to unload the torpedoes from their tubes and throw them into the water. After a short pause in the attack, more than 100 enemy planes flew over us. We could see pillars of flame as other ships, including the Yamato , took bomb and torpedo hits.
As I learned later, Vice Admiral Ito concluded around this time that the Yamato , though already damaged, was still able to steam for the time being, but the time of the arrival at Okinawa would have to be rescheduled. The Yamato turned toward the Yahagi to assess the condition of our ship. It was dire. The rudder was blown away, and yellow smoke was coming from number 1 turret. Lieutenant (junior grade) Kenji Hatta reported the flooding of a powder magazine to prevent it from exploding.
At 1345 dozens more enemy planes attacked us. The Yahagi took additional bomb and torpedo hits, and the list increased to port. Everybody was instinctively trying to climb the starboard side. Then the Yahagi got a torpedo hit in the starboard side of the hull, and the cruiser began sinking while rolling to starboard. The commanding officer, Captain Hara, ordered, "Abandon the ship." The Yahagi 's last gasp was at 1405. According to the record, the cruiser had received 12 direct hits from bombs and seven from torpedoes. An explosion had blown me into the water, and I was caught in a whirlpool. I had a powder burn on my face. At 1423 the Yamato sank with huge explosions. I saw the black smoke rising to the sky as I drifted in the waves.
Enemy planes remained in the area and repeatedly machine-gunned our survivors drifting in the sea. I was treading water and holding onto a wooden box I found floating nearby. The seawater in early April was so cold and I was so fatigued that I almost fainted. After a while, I felt sick and threw up. I had not eaten lunch, and heavy oil and seawater had filled my empty stomach. In the meantime, a PBM flying boat came flying in. It alighted on the water to pick up American pilots who were shot down and then flew away.
I was thinking that we might not be rescued and were going to die, as we were the Special (Suicide) Attack Surface Force. However, I learned later that Admiral Ito had decided the special attack could not be established, so he ordered the rescue of survivors. The fleet staff transferred to the destroyer Fuyutsuki in order to gather the remaining ships. Admiral Toyoda concurred with the decision to abort the mission and to commence the rescue operation.
The survivors drifting near me were exchanging conversations or singing Navy songs to encourage each other. But gradually, they lost their voices and their strength. Little by little, they were separated from each other. Meanwhile, the destroyer Kasumi 's boiler room had fully flooded, the result of direct hits and near misses. After the enemy planes flew away, her survivors were transferred to the Fuyutsuki , which finished off the Kasumi with torpedoes at 1657. The Isokaze 's boiler room was also completely flooded, and she was unable to sail. Her survivors were transferred to the Yukikaze , and that destroyer's gunfire sank the Isokaze at 2240.
After the Yahagi went down, I cannot imagine how many hours passed before I was rescued. The cold seawater chilled me to the bone, and I felt fatigue extending through my entire body. Some sailors who were floating near me sank after suddenly thrashing about; they never resurfaced. I clearly remember feeling faint and that the ability to think was gradually fading away. I thought that if the body got cold, it would mean freezing to death.
Almost at sunset, somebody shouted with loud voice, "The ship is coming." When I rose up on the top of a swell and tried to see it, I could not open my eyes because of the heavy oil that coated my face. I pushed my hand down into the sea under the oil layer and rubbed the oil off and made a tight fist in order to keep it clean as I raised it up in the air. I then wiped my eyes. At last I could open them and see the destroyer that was coming close to us. She was the Fuyutsuki . The lifeline hanging down on her side was slippery because of heavy oil. After I climbed to the deck with great difficulty, I found the four fingers on each of my hands were stuck together and could not move as I liked. I slowly took off my clothes and shoes.
Wearing only underpants, I walked unsteadily to the sailors' compartment on the quarterdeck. The navigator of the Fuyutsuki was Lieutenant (junior grade) Takayasu Nakata, my classmate at the Naval Academy. When I was rescued, he was lying in bed, wounded in both wrists by machine-gun fire. The sailors in the group that had drifted around me were all rescued, and many of them, including me, were wounded. The uninjured were laying the wounded in a passage on the deck so as not to hinder the crew of the Fuyutsuki . But some of those injured comrades were corpses by the next morning. The bodies of men who died en route to Sasebo Naval Base were piled up in the narrow storage on the upper deck, port side.
Of the ten ships that had set out as the Special Attack Surface Force, only four made it to Sasebo; the destroyers Hatsushimo , Yukikaze , Fuyutsuki , and Suzutsuki arrived on 8 April 1945. The first two were repaired in a week and the third in two weeks. It took three months to restore the Suzutsuki to full operating condition.
Rear Admiral Nobue Morishita, former commanding officer of the Yamato , was the chief of staff of the First Strike Force. When he reported to the Naval General Staff on 16 April, he argued that any assault operation requires thorough preparation and a plan in which the favorable odds can be expected. The detailed action report of Destroyer Squadron 2 was stern in its denunciation of the Okinawa mission, saying that naval operations must be cautiously and calculatingly executed. Otherwise, great loss and little benefit should be expected.
Captain Hara, the commanding officer of the Yahagi , was rescued by the Hatsushimo and returned to the Sasebo Naval Base. The night of his return he stayed in the submarine support facility. Lieutenant (junior grade) Kenji Osako, another Yahagi survivor who stayed at the same facility, told me that as he was walking down a hallway he overheard Captain Hara's angry voice. He was talking to Commander Sakuo Mikami, a Combined Fleet staff officer who had come to hear the details of the battle.
From these post-battle reports and accounts, one can assume that it was an extremely difficult mission for the higher-ranking officers in the chain of command to carry out. They were responsible for the fleet, squadron, divisions, and/or ships as well as the lives of hundreds to thousands of men under them. Their words are sorrowful because they lost the lives of huge numbers of those men all at once.
I, however, wonder what other kind of operation against the overwhelmingly strong enemy force at Okinawa could have been considered. What would the headquarters of the Special Attack Surface Force have done if it could have replaced the headquarters of the Combined Fleet? Under such circumstances, what kind of operation could have been planned to satisfy unit commanders? The moment Japan entered the war in December 1941, the tragic fate of the Okinawa Special Attack Surface Force was established.
As one of the junior officers whose ill fate made him part this special attack force, I can clearly recall my own reaction when I heard that the ships were not expected to return. My heart was unexpectedly quiet, and I felt rather mentally refreshed to know that I had found a suitable place to die as a samurai warrior. Now, when I calmly reflect on that time more than 60 years ago, I believe the operation was a worthy end for the great Yamato . She was the symbol of the Imperial Japanese Navy, and her loss was a practice of the aesthetic of Yamato damashii (Spirit of Japan) and a manifestation of the Bushido warrior spirit.
We should aspire to learn some important lessons from those long-ago years: first, by inquiring into the historical background and facts of the war that Japan's leaders led the country into; and second, by seeking the wisdom to learn the way toward world peace.
On board the Fuji-Maru the memorial services ended at the point where the Yamato sank. At that moment, evening dusk was gathering on the East China Sea. To me the scene appeared the same, with the same weather, as when I floated several hours in the water nearby 61 years ago. For some time, I was full of deep emotion as I watched the swelling sea. I've heard that although Vice Admiral Ito had disagreed with the Special Attack Surface Force operation, he had been persuaded to accept command of it when he heard the explanation by the Naval General Staff. He was told that the one-way mission would lead "the special attacks of 100 million people." His son, Lieutenant (junior grade) Hiroshi Ito, was my classmate. Hiroshi was killed at Okinawa on 28 April 1945, just three weeks after his father went down with the Yamoto . My September 1943 Naval Academy class had 625 graduates, but only 290 survived to the end of the war.

Finishing Off the Yahagi and Yamato
During the early afternoon of 7 April 1945, more than 375 U.S. Navy planes attacked the Japanese First Strike Force, sinking six of its ten ships—including the Yamato and Yahagi . Aircraft from Task Group (TG) 58.1 struck first, at 1237, followed by TG 58.3's planes about 30 minutes later. By the time the skies cleared, torpedoes and bombs had seriously wounded the Yamato and Yahagi . The burning battleship was still making 20 knots, but the light cruiser was dead in the water.
At 1325, 115 TG 58.4 aircraft arrived over the enemy flotilla. While planes from the Lexington (CV-16) circled beyond enemy gun range, Intrepid (CV-11) and Langley (CVL-27) aircraft immediately went after the biggest prize, the Yamato , and hit her with five torpedoes, increasing her port list to 10 degrees. Although the Lexington 's flight had been ordered to attack the Yahagi , Lieutenant Tom Stetson, commander of the carrier's Torpedo Squadron 9, received permission to split his 13 TBF Avengers into two groups in order to hit the battleship as well as the cruiser.
First up was the Yahagi . Arrayed in two lines abreast, the seven Avengers of Lieutenant (junior grade) Clyde "Ugh" Lee's division made a textbook attack against the cruiser's starboard side. Five of their ""fish"" splashed into the water, but Lee's and Ensign Don Page's torpedoes did not release. One of the other pilots, Lieutenant (junior grade) Stewart Bass, turned around after releasing his fish: "I suddenly saw all five torpedoes hit—bang! bang! bang! bang! bang! For a moment, nothing seemed to happen. Then [the cruiser] began erupting." The Yahagi made a half roll and quickly sank at 1405.
Lee and Page then attacked the destroyer Isokaze , whose antiaircraft guns were furiously firing away. On his first run, Lee's torpedo again failed to drop. It released on his second run but missed the tin can by ten feet. Page succeeded on his first try, his torpedo hitting her starboard quarter.
Crewmen in VT-9's remaining six Avengers, meanwhile, changed the settings on their torpedoes to make the fish run deeper against their bigger target. By this time, the Yamato was making only eight knots. When Stetson's bombers descended from the clouds and into a wall of antiaircraft fire, four of the planes were line abreast, while the Avengers flown by Lieutenants (junior grade) John Carter and Grady Jean trailed the formation. At 100 yards from their massive target, the leading planes released their torpedoes, which exploded against the Yamato 's starboard underbelly. As the battleship continued a port turn, Carter's and Jean's fish slammed into her. About five minutes later, at 1423, the Yamato rolled over and blew up.

I often see magazine and book covers in which someone is throwing his partner/attacker. I'm sure that you do too.
Generally, the throw is a "big" one -- the attacker could be vertical in the air above the defender. The bigger the throw the better! Well, at least that is what photographers for magazine and book covers will tell you, and probably what they told the person doing the throwing.
If you ask me, "little" throws are better than big ones. A throw should get the attacker to the ground (or into a wall, fire hydrant, or other hard surface) as quickly and with the least effort possible. A big throw takes time (the attacker has to move throw space). It may look impressive and graceful... but it takes time.
And there are skilled people who can reverse throws in the air! I watched old footage of Mifune Sensei (one of the greatest Judo experts). His partner would throw him up in the air and Mifune Sensei would kick his feet, almost as if he was swimming. Then Mifune Sensei would reverse the throw while he was in the air! It was amazing.
A good grappler (of any art) can reverse throws, particularly big throws. It is much more difficult to reverse or escape from a small, quick throw.
Big throws may look good but small throws usually work better. Perhaps someone should tell that to the people who design book and magazine covers.

Big Throws
I often see magazine and book covers in which someone is throwing his partner/attacker. I'm sure that you do too.
