xternal stakeholders ...
all have Amazon-size
vidual stakeholders and a far more inter-dependent relationship between them."Mergers provide scale and access to cap-ital to enable stakeholders to compete to-day. Partnerships, alliances, and shared-risk agreements will be the vehicles fortomorrow's success. Healthcare industryexecutives spoke to these trends in a re-cent survey Quintiles conducted; seven-ty-nine percent of biopharma executivesanticipated being involved in significantjoint initiatives with payers and providersover the next three to five years, and eachof these stakeholders expected improvedhealth outcomes and innovation to beamong the greatest benefits of workingtogether."While the benefits of all this partneringmay be clear, achieving real alignmentbetween partners is and remains a chal-lenge. "Incentives and data are at oncethe tools for competition that divide val-ue in healthcare and the tools for collabo-ration that increase it," Jordan told MedAd News. "The healthcare stakehold-ers that succeed in the future will aligntheir incentives and use of data aroundachieving superior health outcomes atthe best cost, a determination that canonly be achieved through contributionsfrom each stakeholder. Through thesecontributions come significant returns– biopharma's innovation rewarded inmarket share, providers' expert deliveryearning recognition for differentiatedcare, and payers' insight on patient-leveltreatment options resulting in strongermember loyalty."On the ground, service providers arealready encountering a number of reac-tions by pharma companies to the riseof organized payer groups and their cor-responding impact on communicationswith HCPs.
"We are starting to see several re-sponses to this trend," says MichelleKeefe, president, Publicis TouchpointSolutions. "These include the use of keyaccount managers who engage thesegroups directly to communicate impor-tant health information and who worktoward increasing access to HCPs; great-er use of field-based clinical nurse edu-cators who are focused on helping HCPsand their patients achieve improvedhealth outcomes; and the augmentationof field sales teams with virtual teams ofall types. There are times when a health-care system's restrictions may impactaccess for field teams while a virtual rep-resentative (e.g., via live video or phone)can often get through. We see health in-formation engagement via contact centerteams continuing to grow."Finding new ways to interface withthe provider obviously is not enough,though; marketers will also have to keepa close eye on the exact needs and re-quirements flowing out of all those newpayer and customer organizations.
"While there appears to be a strongcertainty among bio/pharma leadersthat organized customer groups and pay-ers will demand evidence of better value,understanding how the requirementsemerge will be critical," says Joe Fal-con, senior VP, managed markets, TGaSAdvisors. "Building a strong HealthEconomics and Outcomes Research(HEOR) competency, combined witha single point of contact in the accountmanagement realm, will be a minimumcore capability for companies."In continuing to respond to all thesetectonic shifts, most industry watch-ers seem to agree that pharma needs tobroaden service offerings to both patientsand providers. "In an outcomes-focusedenvironment, service offerings that fo-cus narrowly on a product (access, reim-bursement support, et cetera) will do lit-tle to differentiate brands or provide truevalue to providers and patients," says Aly-son Connor, president/partner, Micro-Mass Communications. "Services need tofocus on helping patients and providersaddress the real-world challenges to op-timal clinical outcomes – many of whichare related to patient choices and behav-ior and not to product efficacy, safety oradministration. Ultimately, to deliver onthese services in a commercially viablemanner, pharma companies may need toadapt their business models to monetizeboth products and services."To that end, Connor believes that thecapabilities of pharmaceutical represen-tatives must evolve. The demands onrep-provider interaction will be higher.To be a valued partner in a populationhealth model, pharma reps not onlyneed to have a deep understanding ofdisease and products, but also of key fac-tors that drive outcomes outside of pre-scription treatment.
"This evolution of marketing approach-es in a regulated environment may bedaunting for pharma," Connor told MedAd News. "The industry will need to bebrave and deliberate about stepping awayfrom traditional product-centric market-ing tactics. This may involve proactivelyconsulting with Regulatory and takingcalculated risks. Ultimately, to approachbrand marketing differently, pharma willneed to develop champions and new bestpractices within the organization – casestudies that demonstrate how these ser-vices are a more effective and efficientway of connecting with customers anddelivering better outcomes."Looking at these market trends frompharma's point of view, it may no longerbe possible to neatly separate companystrategy and operations between payers,healthcare centers, and physicians sincethey are all inextricably intertwined. In-stead of creating a separate strategy fordifferent market stakeholders, they needto formulate an end-to-end value propo-sition for their products that addressescost effectiveness of overall treatment,superiority of outcomes, and ease of useby patients. This will require a significantrethinking of the internal structure andprocesses of pharma companies, suggestsAngeliki Cooney, director, thought lead-ership, U.S., IMS Health.
"At the same time, pharma companiesneed to rethink how they engage with thisconstantly evolving ecosystem of marketstakeholders," Cooney says. "A rebate fora payer will do nothing to convince IDNsto include a drug in their formulary andtreatment algorithms if they don't lead tolower total cost of care and improved out-comes at the patient level."IMS' own research indicates that IDNsand ACOs can have double digit impactin percentage terms in the sales volumeof a drug. Likewise, a very effective drugwill not be adopted if it breaks the bank.Even outright cures nowadays do notnecessarily maintain market dominancefor too long, as the evolving battle be-tween Gilead and AbbVie shows in thehep C space, and Zaltrap's launch washampered due to non-adoption by pro-vider groups.
"Going forward, engaging with marketplayers can no longer be safely compart-mentalized between sales, marketing,and managed markets," Cooney says."Pharma companies need to look at alltheir customers as partners in a long-term relationship. In this relationship, itmay be necessary to contribute in a myri-ad of ways like offering patient awarenessprograms, coupons/vouchers for patientsgoing through financial hardship, vol-ume discounts to a hospital, a risk shar-ing agreement with an insurer and so onand so forth. Zeroing in on a geographiccluster surrounding each influential IDNor ACO system and offering what eachone specifically needs is imperative forpharma companies to successfully par-ticipate in this evolving market."But if said evolving market could beboiled down to a single word, that wordwould no doubt be "efficacy.""The marketplace is moving to ac-countability, and pharma will somedaybe forced into efficacy-based reimburse-ment," says David Kopp, executive VPand general manager of media group,Healthline. "In 2015, I expect to seethe more innovative marketers beginto experiment with consumer market-ing campaigns designed more to impactefficacy than acquisition – campaignswhich effectively educate consumerson adherence, compliance and lifestylecounterparts to therapy (such as diet andexercise) can and will impact a drug's ef-ficacy, and ultimately, bottom lines."
The man on the street of 2015 is consuming information at a dramatically
more sophisticated level than ever before. When shopping online, for example,
consumers expect retailers to instantly
provide relevant product recommendations (you purchased brown loafers last
year, so here are this year's styles in your
price range), and follow up logically in
synchronized ways (enjoy this 20 percent off coupon at checkout) and through
preferred channels like mobile and email
(come back next month to find out how
to weather-proof your new pair of shoes).
Further, there's little distinction between
the expectations of consumers at home
versus consumers at work.
"So when it comes to the life sciencesindustry, external stakeholders – partic-ularly HCPs and patients, but also payersand investors, and internal stakeholders,all have Amazon-size expectations," saysPaul Shawah, VP of product strategy,Veeva Systems. "Case in point: multi-channel, which was a castle in the air fiveyears ago, is now table stakes for success.Indeed, the bar has been raised."The problem, and the difference be-tween life sciences and many otherindustries, Shawah points out, is thatpharma marketers only have partial anddisparate view of customers.
"To meet the expectations of all stake-holders, marketers must demand a com-plete picture of the customer – includ-ing all non-personal communicationsand personal interactions between fieldreps and physicians," he says. "Today, incontrast, most marketers only have bitsand pieces of information, seeing justthe interactions from those marketing-led campaigns that have been tracked.Worse still, this data is typically compiledad hoc by each external partner who ex-ecuted the campaign, so marketers don'thave the advantage of a holistic under-standing of customers, their preferences,their motivators. Without an integratedlook at all customer interactions, it's dif-ficult to meet the ballooned expectationsfor personalized, well-orchestrated cus-tomer experiences. It's time to demandas much from our technologies as we dofrom marketing."Magnifying the impact of growingconsumer expectations based on inter-actions with other industries is the in-creasing participation of patients in theirown health. With copays on the rise andhealth-related information continuing toproliferate on the Internet and elsewhere,the patient who simply thinks, "I'll askthe doctor" is becoming a rare breed.
"Patients are seeking more information
to get more deeply involved in their treatment, as an addition, not as a replacement to the expertise of their HCP," says

Osborn Engineering Company was a British manufacturer of motorcycles, which sold its machines under the OEC brand name.
The company was founded by John Osborn in 1901, producing Minerva engined bikes. Later machines used a variety of engines from companies such as Blackburne, and JAP. In 1927 OEC introduced its first bike with the duplex steering system. The most famous model produced by the firm was the OEC Commander introduced in 1938, with a 500 cc single-cylinder Matchless engine and duplex steering.
During the Second World War, OEC ceased motorcycle production to concentrate on war work. In 1949 the company commenced production of the Atlanta, a lightweight machine with a choice of 122 cc or 197 cc Villiers engines, followed in 1951 by the Apollo, with a 248 cc side-valve Brockhouse engine. Neither of these postwar machines was successful and the company ceased production in 1954.

The Simple Power Of A Photo
It's so easy to snap a photo on our phones and cameras that we can often take photographs for granted. And with apps like Facebook and Instagram, it's easier than ever to collect a record of our friends and families and adventures together.

Return to HiFi Reading
I'm not really a "big drinker" or what you would conventionally call "fun" (I use air quotes) but I can appreciate a good bar like HiFi.

Octopus Balls
I'm not joking when I say that octopus balls are my favorite kind of balls and Otafuku used to serve some of the best at small storefront on East Ninth Street that was so small that only a few people could order and drool in anticipation. It shut down some time ago, but apparently it was just to reopen down the same block as Otafuku x Medetai with an expanded menu and larger space. I had the whole place to myself when I went in today to stuff my face. The moist warm balls were almost as delicious as I remembered with the same sharply salty flavor of its special mayo and ginger. I just didn't get quite as much mayo and ginger as I remember in the best. Next time, I'm going to try the okonomiyaki.

Happy Fourth Of July!
Despite having lived in New York for six years (that seems far too long but yikes it's true), I've never seen Macy's fireworks extravaganza. This year my girlfriend and I decided to change that by heading up to the Long Island City river park and join the thousands of others lying in wait. And wow was it worth the effort. To borrow a line from Seinfeld, I can confirm that the Macy's fireworks are real and they're spectacular. It was a legit half hour of the largest explosions I've seen in real life and the sound was so loud that the echoes bouncing off the buildings behind us felt like a tank battalion chasing after Dr. Jones.
I live a few blocks from Katz's and I've eaten there only a handful of times because it really is that good and I don't want to get too fat.

Know When to Shut Up
"Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak..." (James 1:19 ESV)
With the advent of social media, everyone has a soapbox. Everyone has a voice. This is a good thing, as it knocks down cultural walls and fosters dialogue - even if the dialogue is between two people on a screen many miles away from one another. It's a net gain, in other words.
But I think we're losing the art of silence.
In a person to person conversation, silence is palpable. It makes words hang in the air and breeds anticipation. And it provides time to think about the next word. Good orators use pauses - silence - to mark their points and to create intrigue.
There is a time to square your shoulders, look someone in the eye, and speak up. There is a time to boldly assert yourself. But if you won't shut up the rest of the time you'll just throw a rock into the raging river of your obnoxious presence. It's like a cousin of The Boy Who Cried Wolf.
We recently lost a great man in my family. Uncle Bubba came up poor on a farm in Giddings, Texas during the Depression, the type of upbringing that forges strong men in the furnace of hardship. Uncle Bubba was the strong silent type, especially in his later years. When he was around, you'd know it - but you wouldn't often hear his voice.
When you did, you listened.
I remember this time in Rockport, Texas. We are on vacation with Uncle Bubba and others for a family reunion. We sat in an upper floor hotel room talking over drinks with the sliding door open to the salty breeze. You could hear kids playing the hotel pool below. Could you ever hear the kids playing in the pool. Man, those kids were loud.
One kid was especially loud. On and on he went. Uncle Bubba sat quietly in his chair, his baseball cap perched atop his head the way old-timers did it. We all talked but he just listened and enjoyed the company. He finally spoke up:
"Somebody hold that kid's head under water!"
We roared. Of course he was kidding. But when he broke the silence his words had impact. They meant something.
As children of God we carry a divine family name. Our word should mean something. Our words should mean something. So we should use them carefully. That is why we should be quick to listen and slow to speak. If you intend to hold true to your word(s), scattering words like seeds is foolish.
Whether online or in person, we must know when to shut up. When to just let our thoughts be our thoughts until words are warranted. And when you can use one word instead of two, opt for the one.
Be quick to hear and slow to speak. Remember your family name.

Zaha Hadid's Heydar Aliyev Cultural Centre: Turning a Vision into Reality
a mixed-use venue featuring a conference hall, library, and museum, is scheduled to open in September 2011 in the city of Baku, Azerbaijan.
The Setting
The Heydar Aliyev Cultural Centre is one of many buildings that will be erected in Azerbaijan this year, and it is one of several projects exhibiting progressive design elements and cutting-edge engineering solutions.
The ambitious yet expressive nature of these new structures represents a move away from the country's Soviet-dominated past and toward a national identity. The cultural centre, named in honor of the late Heydar Aliyev, National Leader of Azerbaijan, is located close to the city center. It is part of a larger redevelopment area and is expected to be a bellwether of the city's intellectual and cultural life.
The Vision
Zaha Hadid Architects created a building form that appears to emerge from the topography. The skin of the building – a single curving surface – rises, undulates, and wraps inward at its base to completely envelop the building's various volumes. The curved surface allows a freedom of form that can simultaneously differentiate and unite the Heydar Aliyev Cultural Centre's three distinct programmatic elements. Its inward curl is formed into stairways and ramps that connect the lower floors to mezzanine levels; other circulation paths also emanate from the curves of the building envelope. An elevated bridge connects the library to the conference hall.
"It is difficult in general to build something that extraordinary in a remote country where even very basic tools must be imported sometimes." Thomas Winterstetter, Werner Sobek
The Heydar Aliyev Cultural Centre's conference hall contains three auditoriums. In order to accommodate the necessary inclined seating, this portion of the building protrudes into the cultural plaza. Here the mass of the structure undulates away from the wave-like peaks that define the other two zones of structure; at its edges it flows down to the walking surface of the plaza.

How I Make My Bullet Journal 'Pretty'
Whenever I upload a bullet journal blog post or an Instagram snap I always get a lot of comments on how neat it is, how pretty it is or the odd '#goals' or crown emoji. To me, making my bullet journal aesthetically pleasing is like second nature - I'm an illustrator by trade, designing and drawing is in my job title and weedles it's way into my personal life like it has since I was old enough to colour.
My notebooks in school would be filled with doodles, I could whip up an illustration for someone on a spare sheet of paper in no time and straight lines and things in neat boxes is my jam. You will never see me with some hastily scribbled half crossed out note, a bad choice on the first page of the journal is like a death in the family and I don't even know the meaning of the word 'mistake'.
But in my bullet journal journey I have discovered a lot of you lovely chaps don't have quite the second nature when it comes to making your journal 'pretty' and I get a LOT of requests for advice on how (or just outright requests for me to make my own journals) so with that in mind, here's how I make my journal Insta goals.
Ways I make my bujo pretty (and tips for you);
1. Use your journal format.
I would always recommend a squared journal since making the change from lined but I've seen a lot of people speak highly of the dotted version. Having a squared journal means my journal is immediately more neat and therefore easy on the eye because my lines aren't wonky, grid systems are made up for me already and formatting comes easy.
2. Border and boxes.
A super easy way to make any journal look nice is with a simple box or grid. Personally I don't actually box my text BEFORE I start writing, soz to break it to you but I'm just as bad as you at guesstimating how much space I need so I box in after I've written. Once you've got your text sorted simply draw a box or a border around it and all I do is hash it black and white, colour bits in, dot it...literally so simple.
3. Headers.
Similarly, a good heading does wonders for your pages overall look. Sometimes I won't do a formal header and sometimes I will, depending on what I'm using that page for - for example I don't for my weekly spreads. Headers can be as simple or as complicated as you make them and I'm going to do a 'how to' post soon but you can see some examples of banners I use for headers in the image below.
4. Hand lettering.
I think pretty typography and nice hand lettering is definitely an element of 'pretty journaling' people struggle with and as illustrative as I am I have to practice too. Fancy or illustrative hand lettering is probably the biggest 'pretty' element of my journal and I have a notebook from my Cratejoy sub box full of my favourite fonts to reference. Pinterest is FULL of hand lettering inspiration but I'd recommend practicing in pencil first if it doesn't come naturally to you.
5. Images.
If you're struggling for the look you're after images always do well for brightening up a page. From scrapbooks of your own life to images that you inspire you could add anything. I have taken to covering up mistakes in pages instead of ripping them out (an eternal error) and I am much happier with how my journal looks. Inspiration pages or mood board are also v Instagrammable.
6. Doodles.
Like I said above, illustrating comes second nature to me and doodling is just par for the course. If there's ever a spare bit of journal or a page is looking a bit sparse I'll add a doodle or two, my current favourites being a border or leaves or some shooting stars. If I'm creating a shopping or a packing list I'll doodle some cars or maps or suitcases, if I have a blog inspired page I'll doodle a computer or a camera or a notebook. If your artistic abilities are uhm, a bit lacking, number 8 in this list might interest you...
7. No crossing out.
This is one of the most simple but effective rules when it comes to making your bujo pleasing to view but I never cross things out. It has to work for your bullet journaling system but for me I don't cross an item out when I have completed the task.

I Tried The Obé Workout For Four Days And This Is What I Thought About It.
After countless times of making plans to go to the gym and those plans falling through, I knew I needed some other type of motivational factor that would push me to exercise.
Related: What Is The MyMark App And Why You Should You Use It
As a busy millennial, my days consist of going to class, meetings, work, and then coming home and spending copious amounts of time completing homework or studying for exams. Because I never make it to the gym, I thought at-home workouts might be the right option for me. After some research, the Obé (pronounced "obey") workout program stuck out to me, as it was different than most of the others offered. Here are some quick facts about Obé.
Obé was created by Mark Mullet and Ashley Mills. It was inspired by Mark and Ashley's mothers with their fun, colorful, upbeat at-home workouts from the 1980's
Obé is an acronym for Our Body Electric, and a command to listen to the voice within
Obé classes are streamed LIVE, not "live to tape", but live because they believe that accountability and community are the keys to sticking with a program
The classes only take place in the morning because studies show that working out in the morning increase productivity and energy levels throughout the day

Obé offers a one-week free trial, so I decided to sign up and try it for a couple of days. The first day I was ready and excited. I really enjoyed that the classes were live because that gave me much more motivation to wake up and do the class. They offer a series of classes that you can pick from and different times as well. Once the class started, I was honestly surprised by how it felt like a real class. Because I knew it was happening in real time, I felt a needed to try harder and push myself.
What I also enjoyed about the class was that the signature classes are only 28 minutes long. This was great for me because with my busy schedule I could get quick workouts in. They also do offer longer classes for those who would like to do a traditional hour-long workout. I also really liked how there is no equipment needed. In many at-home workouts, additional materials are needed, but you only need yourself for Obé, which I thought was really easy and convenient.

Overall, I did enjoy the workouts. By the fourth day, I did find it difficult to have to get up every morning to complete the workouts. I would like a little more flexibility with the times because I know it will not always work with my schedule. However, I still do recommend this workout program for those who are too busy or know they will not make it to the gym but are still looking for an exercise routine.

Aingeala's teaching of the Alexander Technique is based on two important ideas. First of all, is the most powerful way to learn this work is to work in a group context. Secondly, by working directly with people in simple and specialised activities, actors are better able to learn to do this work for themselves.

These difficulties soon resolved, but she realised that continuing with her study of the technique would further improve her expression and communication not just as a performer, but in all areas of life. She began teacher training in 2003 with Don Weed, founder and Head of Training of the ITM, and qualified as a teacher of the Interactive Teaching Method (ITM) for the teaching of the F.M.

Christmas revellers have been pepper sprayed and shoved to the ground as Sydney police broke up an unauthorised beach party where two officers were hit by bottles.
Police were called to Little Bay, south of Maroubra, at about 3pm on Monday following reports of the gathering in an alcohol-free zone.
Videos from the scene posted online show dozens of people in Santa hats drinking, singing and dancing to loud music.
One man wearing a panda head and carrying a boxed-wine bladder, or goon bag, holds up his middle finger as police officers approach the booing crowd.
Three people who were arrested were being interviewed by detectives after two officers were struck with bottles, a police spokeswoman told AAP.
One man who was at the party but didn't want to be named told AAP that details of the event were spread through Facebook.
He said police used pepper spray as people were attempting to leave.
One video posted publicly on Facebook shows the aftermath of the party in a street as police try to move people on.
The footage shows at least four women being pushed to the ground by police, including two who land on the road, as the crowd throws objects at officers.
Revellers were dispersed on foot and by bus and by 6pm the beach had cleared, a police spokeswoman said.
The spokeswoman was not able to comment on the tactics used by officers.
Some social media users accused police of being "unnecessarily violent" and going "way too far" in their response.
Last week, Eastern Beaches police also took to Facebook to post a warning about alcohol-free zones at all local beaches.
Randwick City Council had introduced tighter alcohol restrictions for Christmas and anyone who was caught risked a maximum fine of $2200, police said.

Gareth and Suzanne ~ a Marlborough Sounds wedding, Queen Charlotte Sound:
From a little while ago, but what a fantastic Marlborough Sounds wedding! What a great part of New Zealand for a destination wedding!
Gareth and Suzanne were married at the fabulous Lochmara Lodge in Queen Charlotte Sound, at the northern tip of New Zealand's South Island.
Thanks heaps to my second photographer for the day – Karina Smith – who travelled with me from Wellington by ferry and water taxi to get to the lodge.
Although I'm based in Wellington, I'm very happy to cover weddings outside the Wellington region, such as this beautiful Marlborough Sounds wedding. For more information about my wedding photography services, click on this link to my wedding folio page.

CD Projekt Red says The Witcher 4 isn't going to happen because the series was always envisioned as a trilogy, nothing more. The critically-acclaimed video game series first debuted with The Witcher in 2007, based on the novel series of the same name by Andrzej Sapkowski, and followed the protagonist Geralt of Rivia, one of the world's last Witchers - people with extraordinary abilities who hunt monsters across the Continent.
The Witcher was enormously successful and spawned a sequel in 2011, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. Whereas the first game was only released on PC (and OS X), the sequel also released on last-generation consoles in addition to Linux, which certainly helped boost its sales. The Witcher 2 also achieved critical acclaim - it was even awarded Game of the Year by some outlets - which is why CD Projekt Red started developing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt almost immediately after the sequel released. Wild Hunt hit stores shelves in 2015 and concluded Geralt's story and The Witcher video game series. Unfortunately, there won't be another sequel in the future.
Related: The Witcher TV Series Showrunner Won't Water Down the Adaptation
CD Projekt Red CEO Adam Kiciński reaffirmed at the Pareto Securities Gaming Seminar last week that they won't make The Witcher 4 because the series was always meant to end with The Witcher 3. Just because The Witcher 4 won't happen, though, that doesn't mean the studio may not decide to produce something within that franchise in the future - a spinoff, maybe.
"We can't create Witcher 4, because that was a trilogy from the beginning. No one said that one day we won't decide to develop something in the Witcher universe. But now we're focusing on Cyberpunk and Gwent."
While CD Projekt Red doesn't plan on developing The Witcher 4, they are still developing the card game Gwent, and they may one day return to the Witcher universe with an actual video game in the future. Based on Kiciński's comments, that game could come in the form of a prequel or spinoff, but not a sequel. Plus, fans of the series can still look forward to Netflix's upcoming Witcher TV series.
As for the studio itself, CD Projekt Red is now turning all their attention towards developing their next blockbuster franchise, Cyberpunk 2077, which was first announced in 2012 but was shelved shortly thereafter so that the development team could focus on producing The Witcher 3. CD Projekt is expected to finally showcase Cyberpunk 2077 at E3 2018 this summer and perhaps even release the game within the next year or two. And if they ever do return to The Witcher series, it would come after Cyberpunk 2077 releases, not before.

Actions on Materiality
Customer Health and Safety (FY2018 Report)
Materiality Indicators
Management Approach
Reasons why materiality is important for our business.
The Daigas Group puts the highest priority on securing safety of gas supply and facilities as an energy business operator which supplies city gas to 5.996 million customers. Therefore, we consider it important that we make efforts to enhance the safety level and formulate a structure to respond possible accidents and disasters.

Indicator (GRI Standards: 416-1)
Percentage of city gas for which health and safety impacts are assessed for improvement against total city gas provided by Osaka Gas
Osaka Gas is committed to ensuring the safety of city gas, our primary product, its secure supply, and safety of gas facilities — all by formulating "Gas Supply Clause" and "Security Rules" in line with the Gas Business Law.
(International and domestic standards)
- Gas Business Law
(In-house policy and standards)
- Daigas Group Code of Conduct
- Gas Supply Clause Security Rules
The Daigas Group has established a system to ensure the safety of city gas and gas appliances in all fields of its city gas value chain — processing, supply, and sales and consumption in the corresponding business units. The "Head of Safety" (Vice President) and the person heading each Business Unit's safety operation offer advice on inter-section and inter-district security.
The Vice President in charge of safety operations, the person in charge of safety operations at each Business Unit and the chiefs of the relevant departments — who together constitute the Executive Safety Council — convene a regular safety and security meeting (five times per year) to work out safety activity plans and assess the achievements made in the relevant term. Efforts to ensure and enhance the safety of the city gas supply and gas appliances are also being planned and conducted at each Business Unit.
Organizational Structure Aimed at Promoting Security and Safety
In FY2018, every procedure is conducted based on guidelines in accordance with laws and regulations as well as in-house rules in the processes such as quality control of gas in LNG terminals, safety inspection of gas pipelines and supply facilities, as well as gas appliances at customers consented.
Specific actions taken regarding materiality
To allow customers to receive our energy service without worry, we are working on maintaining the quality of city gas being supplied at high levels while ensuring stable gas supply and the safety of gas-processing and supply facilities.

Gas supply facilities including pipelines and pressure regulators were inspected to ensure their safety at the frequency and content of such inspections set under in-house "Security Rules."
Securing safety at customers' sites
Facilitate systems to response to reports and prepare resources for dispatching in case of accidents and disasters 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
In accordance with laws, inspection of gas appliances for gas leaks, gas water heaters for air supply and exhaust function at customers' sites at least once every four years (at least once a year for some customers) were conducted. The visits to the customers were exploited as the opportunity for recommending installation of alarms for gas leaks for residential use and ventilation for commercial use, of which penetration rate were 53.0% and 99.1%, respectively.
We are conducting replacement of old gas pipes with new ones that are resistant to earthquakes and corrosion. We are actively proposing the renewal of corrosion-prone old gas pipes by contacting affected customers. In FY2016, we implemented measures to deal with old gas pipes made of gray cast iron, which had been required to be replaced under government instruction — far ahead of the initial schedule of FY2021. We are continuing to take measures against old gas pipes made of gray cast iron (gas pipes requiring maintenance and management) and corrosion-prone gas pipes.
Preparation for disaster prevention
From our experience of the earthquake occurred in Kobe, we have made every effort to prevent disasters incurred by earthquakes. Those efforts include enhancement of safety function and measures in LNG terminals, replacement of old gas pipes with polyethylene pipes (approx. 15,900 km installed), installation of intelligent meters that detect vibrations from the earthquake and shut off the gas supply, of which penetration rate reached 99.8%. Seismoscopic automatic gas shutoff devices set up in approx. 3,000 places in our gas supply area is one of measures to prevent secondary damage from earthquake.
We have been redoubling our efforts to fend off possible damage from tsunami following the March 2011 disaster that struck northeastern Japan. For example, we have strengthened stand-alone in-house power-generation facilities installed at LNG terminal buildings, improved the watertightness of the buildings and facilities at the terminals, and moved part of the terminal facilities to higher locations to avoid tsunami waves. In addition, we have established systems to ensure the operation of gas-supply facilities under any circumstances. Among such systems is a damage-reduction block system, which controls the gas supply of medium- and low-pressure gas pipes installed in coastal areas. The block system is designed to prevent secondary damage and facilitate the early recovery of gas supply. In addition to these anti-tsunami measures, mainly involving improvement on the hardware front, we are taking steps on the software front, such as the holding of company-wide disaster drills and training. We expect these disaster-prevention efforts to establish robust and resilient value chain in city gas service.

ON THE FOUR APPROACHES TO JOHN CALVIN'S INTERPRETIVE METHOD: Humanist Approach
Born into a middle to upper-middle-class family, Calvin's father was able to afford for him to be educated in the medieval system of the trivium, or three parts, of grammar, logic, and rhetoric.[1] Like his brother Charles, Calvin was studying to become a priest, when his father advised him to change his course of study from theology to law. "This momentary detour provided young John not only with a sharpening of his mind, but also an introduction to the Renaissance pursuit of the ancient sources of learning."[2] Through his studies in law he encountered a new approach to analyzing ancient texts, advocated by a group called humanists.[3] A humanist would be "especially attentive to the historical context in which the text was produced and to the linguistic and literary features of the text."[4] Calvin adopted this Renaissance approach and used it heavily in his exposition of Scripture. Having been trained in philology, Calvin understood that proper translation of every word in its immediate context was pertinent to determine the true meaning of a verse. He taught his readers that there are "many statements in Scripture the meaning of which depends upon their context."[5] For Calvin, even prepositions were worth disputing if improper translation took away from the author's intended meaning. This can be seen in Calvin's commentary of Psalm 3:2. Here Calvin disputes the preference of many for the preposition of instead of to. Recognizing that the letter lamed is indeed sometimes used to mean of in Hebrew, Calvin writes, "David here intended to express something more, namely, that his heart was in a manner pierced with the mockery of his enemies."[6] This was a prime example of how an improper transliteration of just one Hebrew letter could betray David's intended sentiments, which ultimately alters the correct interpretation of the passage.
As a humanist, Calvin was most concerned with the natural meaning of the text. Some with good intentions escape to intricate allegories to avoid apparent discrepancies in the Scriptures. Others utilized allegories to twist the Scriptures to prooftext their forced presuppositions. Calvin seems to employ what could be called the Occam's Razor approach to Bible study: to explain a thing, no more assumptions should be made than are necessary. If the literal interpretation satisfies the text, then no further postulating is necessary. Few passages have been subject to more speculation than Genesis 6:1-4. Based on the pseudepigraphal apocalyptic writings of Enoch, some early church fathers believed this passage depicted fallen angels coming to earth to have coitus with human women who begot Nephilim. Calvin refutes this phantasmal fiction by interpreting Scripture sola Scriptura. Since Moses never uses "sons of God" to refer to angels, Calvin rightly concludes this has nothing to do with angels copulating. Rather it has everything to do with God's chosen people disregarding His divine order: the commingling of Israel with non-Israel. According to Calvin, Seth's descendants, driven by lust, yoked themselves unequally with the unbelieving dependents of Cain: "For it was an intolerable profanation, to pervert, and confound, the order appointed by God."[7]
Calvin goes on to work through the etymology of the word Nephilim. Unlike some of the fathers, Calvin doesn't believe these Nephilim to be great in stature, but prefers the more literal translation: "robust." He concedes, "Elsewhere, I acknowledge, the same word denotes vastness of stature, which was formidable to those who explored the land of Canaan. But Moses does not distinguish those of whom he speaks in this place, from other men, so much by the size of their bodies, as by their robberies and their lust of dominion."[8] Using a word study from Scripture alone, Calvin takes this passage from trans-species intercourse and giants to something far less fantastic.

I typically listen to a podcast when I walk and today I happened to catch-up on Tim Ferris's feed. This particular episode, What I Learned in 2016, has Tim recounting some of the lessons learned from the last year. Of the things that he said, this question kept echoing in my mind:
When considering a purchase, think about how this item will affect how you use your time?
He flips purchasing decisions from dollar values to time values. I don't think many of us think this way. We purchase out of impulse, out of boredom, to show off, to make ourselves feel better, but we never think about the time aspect of that purchase. I see this both ways: the time spent working to earn enough money to buy that item and the hours spent taking care of such item post purchase. It doesn't matter if it's a $5 dollar shirt or a $50k sports car.
If you make $10 an hour, buying 4 $5 dollar shirts means you have to work 2 hours. While those shirts may seem cheap, the true cost is the 2 hours you had to put in to get back 4 shirts. Now, you may really need 4 shirts, but chances are you are not starting from scratch. Conversely, once you purchase those 4 shirts, you now have to spend time taking care of it, you have to spend time deciding which shirt to wear, you may spend time looking for one of the shirts, the time spent just managing this shirt adds up. Instead of the shirts costing you 2 hours, it's now costing you 4 hours or more. That's time that could be spent doing other things instead of taking care of a shirt. Of course, this is a minor example. Think of this on a grander scale, a car, a house, a vacation. Of these larger items, which one will cost your more time before and after the purchase? Whose time are you willing to sacrifice to make that purchase: yours, your children's, your aging parents?
The new opportunity cost is really about time. In the end, any purchase that you make uses time as the primary currency and it's the only currency that actually is finite for each of us. You can always make more money, but you cannot gain more time. It seems to make sense that we need to start making decisions of dollars into decisions of time. Spending money regardless of what it is affects how we use our time.

Abrupt weaning is a source of stress on calves which has an adverse effect on their immune system, making them more susceptible to disease, particularly pneumonia.
Weaning stress is often compounded by other husbandry practices occurring at the same time such as change of environment (outdoors to indoors), change of forage diet (from grass to silage), transport/ selling, dehorning, castrating etc.
How can you minimise the effect of stress at
1, Parasite treatment
All parasites have a negative effect on the calves' immune system and lungworm in particular can damage the lungs and increase the risk and severity of bovine respiratory disease (BRD).
Treatment for lungworm with a pour-on wormer with persistent activity such as Cydectin® 0.5% Pour-On for Cattle ahead of weaning allows time for gut- and lungworms to be cleared and for any lung damage to repair while cattle are still under low stress. If calves are housed within five weeks of dosing then no further treatment for stomach worm (Ostertagia ostertagi) or lungworm should be required.
2, Control of infectious disease
Viruses such as BRSv, PI3v and IBR can act individually or in combination to cause significant lung and airway damage reducing the animal's resistance to secondary bacterial infection. These three viruses are the most important primary pathogens. Once the viruses have caused the primary damage, the bacteria can enter as secondary invaders resulting in extensive damage to the lungs.
BVD virus can act as an important trigger because it suppresses the immune system and opens the door for the other agents that multiply and cause disease.
So by protecting against the four key viruses, we can have a dramatic effect on calf pneumonia outbreaks.
Rispoval ®4 protects animals against BRSv, Pi3v, BVDv and IBR. Protection lasts six months. For cattle over three months of age two doses of vaccine should be given three-four weeks apart and, ideally, calves should complete the vaccination course at least two weeks before any stressful event such as weaning.
For a quicker onset of immunity cattle can be vaccinated with an intranasal vaccine. Rispoval® IntraNasal can be used from nine days of age and protects against BRSv within just five days and against PI3v within 10 days. Protection from a single dose lasts for 12 weeks.
In calves older than 10 weeks of age a single dose of Tracherine™ will provide immunity against IBR within just four days, with protection lasting a full six months.
Pre-weaning nutritional management
If possible, plan to wean calves outdoors in the best possible weather and start introducing concentrates to the calves at last one month prior to weaning. Calves should be consuming at least 1kg/day at weaning time. Continue to feed concentrates after weaning.
Recommended weaning
The presence of cows has a calming effect and prolonging the presence of cows is one way of reducing stress in suckled calves that are being weaned,
Don't wean by moving the calves, instead gradually remove cows away from the group. Up to a third of cows should be removed each time with a minimum interval of five days apart. Removed cows should be moved out of sight and sound of the remaining group.
Avoid additional
stressors at weaning
Procedures such as dehorning and castrating will increase stress, therefore should not be done at weaning.
Ideally calves should be disbudded at an early age. If this has not been done early on, dehorning should be delayed until four weeks after weaning. Castration is best done in calves under six months of age or at least one month prior to weaning.
If the weather allows it, delay the housing of weaned calves for at least three weeks. Don't sell calves immediately after weaning, wait at least two weeks.
How can you reduce the risk of pneumonia in
purchased weanlings?
A moderate case of pneumonia in a beef suckler calf at five-six months of age can be associated with 72g of reduced daily liveweight gain per day, or 22kg over a 10 month finishing period. A severe or chronic case of pneumonia at five-six months of age may reduce daily liveweight gain by 202g per day or 61kg over 10 months and result in a carcass downgrade. Based on these facts, the economic returns from safeguarding a case of pneumonia have been estimated at £128 per calf for a moderate case and £263 for a severe case.
Therefore it is important to have a system in place that minimises stress around purchases in order to reduce the risk of BRD.
Where possible purchase weanlings which have been weaned prior to the sale and liaise with the sellers at the mart to discuss weaning management practices.
Look out for the 'Blue tagged calves'. These calves are part of the SureCalf® Programme, a pre-conditioning programme aimed at minimising the impact of BRD and improving the welfare of calves as they pass through market.
SureCalf® Duo calves must be over 10 weeks of age, and are vaccinated one to three weeks prior to sale with a single intranasal dose of Rispoval® IntraNasal (against BRSv and Pi3v) and a single intranasal dose of TracherineTM (against IBR). The buyer benefits from up to six months ongoing cover against IBR and up to three months ongoing cover against BRSv and Pi3v ensuring protection going into the winter housing period.
On arrival animals should be placed in a draft free, well bedded pen, with plenty of space and access to palatable forage-based feed with long fibre and fresh water.
