Strategic Risk: Linking Risk Management & Strategy Management processes
Aside Posted on Updated on
"Strategy is always linked to risk. We could say that risk is the other side of strategy coin. For each strategic objective exists a strategic risk. But even if many different methodologies and approaches are focusing on improving the risk management or on improving the strategy management, none of them clearly offer a solution for linking both management processes.
At ACSA (Airport Company of South Africa), we were using an ISO 13000 framework to manage our risks, and the balanced scorecard methodology to track and execute our strategy. But, again, both processes were not talking to each other. Therefore we have been working on linking both strategy management and risk management processes, and we came out with the following 3 steps approach:
The first phase consists on identifying, for each expected strategic outputs:
- the strategic objectives: they are the strategic input that ACSA has to be achieve in order to obtain those expected strategic outputs. They answer the question "WHAT do we need to achieve?"
- the strategic initiatives: they are the strategic projects that ACSA has to implement in order to reach the strategic objectives. They answer the question "HOW are we going to achieve those objectives?"
The second phase is about identifying the key risks for each one of those strategic objectives and strategic initiatives:
- Risks related with strategic objectives: we ask ourself "What if we don't achieve this objective?" "What could happen?"
- Risks related with strategic initiatives: we ask ourself "What can go wrong in this initiative?" "What can be the consequence?"
The third and last step relates more with a classical risk management process: risk identification, description, control, rating, treatment, etc.
You will find in the slide-share below some details and illustration of this breakthrough link between strategy and risk management processes"

FM asks banks to seek Aadhar nos from customers
Finance Minister P Chidambaram said, "Today I have asked my office to issue an advisory to all the chairmen of the banks to say that banks must directly approach the beneficiary and get the Aadhaar number and seed it into bank account."
Describing the DBT a "game changer", he said, "80 per cent (seeding of Aadhaar with bank account) is doable, achievable and with the advisory going out today, the roll out can be quite rapid in the remaining districts."
On transfer of LPG subsidy, Chidambaram said, "It is an easy subsidy to be transfered. There is only one pay master which is the government of India to oil companies." LPG subsidy, he further said, would be rolled out throughout the country by the end of the year.
The aim of DBT is to get the money in the bank account, he said, adding, the Aadhaar provides the platform, there is another platform in the usual banking channel.
The DBT has been rolled out in 121 districts from July 1 across the country. The Finance Minister said the DBT will be extended even for the transfer of food and fertiliser subsidy.

Mount Fuji
Mount Fuji
Mount Fuji is Japan's highest mountain with 3776 meters. This may be a mountain but in Japan it has always been worshipped as being sacred. Mount Fuji is an active volcano and has actually erupted in 1707, although it has not erupted since then. The mountain is located between Yamanashi prefecture and Shizuoka prefecture which is a bit far from Tokyo and Yokohama but you can see it beautifully from tall building in Yokohama and Tokyo. On a day that is super clear you can easily see it from tall buildings including the skytree, tokyo tower and you can also see it on the shinkansen going from Tokyo to Osaka. One of the most popular view of Mount Fuji is from the Fuji five lakes area. Many people enjoy the view of Mount Fuji but if you have the chance you should definitely try going up Mount Fuji to see the view from Mount Fuji. There are a few different routes that you can take to go up Mount Fuji so if you want more information on which route to take and what would be best for you go check out my Climbing Mount Fuji blog. It is indeed a tough climb up the mountain and you have to make sure that you are prepaid for any condition when you go up. As you climb up it tends to drizzle and then when you are at the very top you will experience extreme wind. With the drizzle of rain making your clothes wet you will be extremely cold at the top if you do not have the right gear on. However, the view climbing up and from the top is indeed worth it. Unfortunately, the weather tends to change drastically so on an unclear day you will not be able to see anything from the very top. Which is sadly what happen when I went up. But the view while climbing to the top was unbelievable. You are literally above the clouds and the clouds just look like a sea of clouds.
Some other beautiful places to visit around Mount Fuji are the following:
Hakone is a popular day trip away from Tokyo and is part of the Fuji Hakone Izu National Park. It is most famous for the beautiful view of Mount Fuji and for all the hot springs/onsen. Hakone is visited by many foreign and japanese tourists every year.
Fuji Five Lakes:
The great 5 lakes of Fuji are extremely popular as you can see an incredible view of Mount Fuji. The five famous lakes for those of you who are unaware are the Kawaguchiko, Saiko, Yamanakako, Shojiko and the Motosuko. The view of mount Fuji with the Chureito Pagoda is probably the most iconic view.
Fujinomiya is a city at the base of Mount Fuji which is located in Shizuoka prefecture. Fujinomiya has one of the most prominent and important shrine in the region which is the Fujinomiya Sengen Shrine. This was traditionally used as a starting point to climb Mount Fuji and is still used by many visitors as a starting point. The Shiraito Falls is also a popular attraction in Fujinomiya.

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), a new technique for diagnosis of lung tumor
The world's leading EBUS was introduced into our hospital in 2013. During the half of year, 75 cases were diagnosed as lung cancer in about 100 cases by use of the advanced device. The specimen obtained by the device is multipurpose, for example smear test, liquid based cytology, immunohistochemistry for linear tissue, and gene test evenly. Based on the personalized data, our diagnosis ability has been improved significantly, achieving the leading level in Zhejiang Province. Of note, some non-tumor diseases, for example sarcoidosis, in the mediastinum were difficult to diagnose previously. Nowadays, we can make it easily using the EBUS. There have been 3 cases of sarcoidosis diagnosed on the histopathological level using the EBUS-TBNA during the half of year.
Besides, our hospital introduced the radial probe endobronchial ultrasound (RP-EBUS). As application, the lesion is found by the radial probe, to where the sheath was guided afterwards. Biopsy and brushing can be performed through the guiding sheath after withdrawing the radial probe. Using the tecHnique, the Dept. of pulmonary medicine in our hospital made a biopsy of peripheral lung tissue recently. It's the first time in the Zhejiang Province. The lesion of the case lies in the right middle lobe near the heart. It's at risk to take a percutaneous lung puncture biopsy guided by CT. The team led by the director Liming Wang co-operated with the radiologist Bin Yang to deal with the case. They located the lesion accurately and made sufficient preparations for the biopsy. After local anesthesia and sedation, the bronchoscope was pushed to the aim bronchi, after which the UM-S20-20R radial probe was introduced to lesion through the working aisle of the bronchoscope. The biopsy and smearing were performed after the RP-EBUS detected and located the suspected lesion. Meanwhile, the patient was also performed EBUS-TBNA for the enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes. The pathology showed as lung adenocarcinoma. After that, the team performed 6 cases in succession, achieving a positive rate of 70%.
Biopsy in peripheral lung tissue guided by RP-EBUS is an advanced technique of EBUS. It not only provides the quality ultrasound image, but also locates the lesion and enlarged lymph nodes accurately, which improve the efficiency, precision and safety of peripheral lung biopsy.
To date, only few hospitals master the technique in China and our hospital is the unique in the Zhejiang Province.

I got some awesome baby snuggles this afternoon from little Rylan who came into the studio for some newborn/baby pictures. He turned 5 weeks old today and truly was a trooper to have someone messing with him while he tried to sleep. We got some great photos of his beautiful blue eyes and I love how he interacted with his mom and dad. He is at such a precious age where he's starting to become aware of what's happening around him and he certainly was curious and didn't want to miss out! While we weren't able to do some prop poses, I love how he responded to the sound of his parents' voices and showed me his "baby blues". Plus the ones on the rug are just adorable as he stared up at my camera contraption.
He did give me one short stint on the beanbag where he slept so I worked like crazy to take as many sleepy baby photos as possible. He is just so adorable with his new baby chunk and we went with green and tans as his nursery is a safari theme.
I am so happy little Rylan came in today! He was amazing for putting up with my poses and wraps and his parents were just so wonderful to go with the flow and adjust as Rylan needed. A huge thanks to his parents for trusting me with these special memories and I can't wait to deliver them their full gallery of their precious baby boy.
Want to book your newborn photography session? It's never too early! Newborn sessions take place within 5-12 days after baby's birth so request to get on my calendar at the beginning of your second trimester to guarantee time around your estimated due date.

Drivers in fatal crash not speeding, FHP says
MANATEE — Two drivers killed in a weekend crash were driving the speed limit when their vehicles hit head on, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report released Monday.
James T. Jones, 40, of Avon Park, died after his 2002 four-door Dodge pickup crossed the center line of State Road 62, just west of Corbett John Road Sunday afternoon and hit a 2007 Ford Expedition head on.
The driver of that sport utility vehicle, 59-year-old Palmetto resident Janice D. Zonneveld, was killed instantly. Authorities said her Yorkshire terrier, which rode in the front passenger seat, also died.
"We don't know exactly why he crossed the line," Lt. Chris Miller said. "But we do know there was no indication either vehicle was speeding."
The speed limit along that stretch of roadway is 60 mph.
The crash, which took place at about 3:30 p.m. destroyed both vehicles, and sent the Expedition into a grassy area far off the side of the highway and left the pickup on its top a short distance away. Firefighters had to flip the pickup to remove Jones from the driver's seat.
Jones' wife Betty Jones, 36, and their sons Curtis Jones, 14, and Jimmy Jones, 3, passengers in the pickup, survived. Betty Jones was taken to Manatee Memorial Hospital on Sunday night in serious condition. Manatee Memorial Hospital Spokesman Vernon DeSear said she was in stable condition on Monday.
Curtis and Jimmy Jones were taken to All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg. Curtis was still listed as a patient there on Monday, said All Children's Hospital spokesman Roy Adams. Jimmy was not listed on the hospital registry.
James Jones was driving east on S.R. 62 before the crash took place, troopers said. When his pickup came across the center line, Zonneveld tried to get out of the way, but the two vehicles collided.
Zonneveld lived in the 9300 block of 27th Avenue East.
Her family did not return phone calls on Monday but people who identified themselves as relatives left posted messages online Monday at Bradenton.com.
"Janice was my very dear sister-in-law, such a sweet, kind, and talented person," wrote a woman who identified herself as Rebecca. "I will truly miss her. Life is so very precious, so each day we should be so very thankful for that day."
Another woman, who identified herself as Zonneveld's daughter, wrote: "This was my Mom. . . . She was a special person. Her eight grandchildren were her world. Our hearts are broken. Our family pet's name was Gray. He was my Mom and Dad's little buddy."
FHP homicide investigator Cpl. David Brunner said the wreck is the seventh fatal traffic crash in Manatee County so far this year. All five people involved in the crash wore their seat belts, Brunner said.

We have a new personal rule: We are not allowed to travel to beautiful places without booking a photo shoot. Next time, we'll let people know our travel dates! Jon captured some KILLER landscape photos (this post is just part 1), and we'd love to meet new people and photograph them in places like these.
Colorado is such a beautiful frontier! We LOVED exploring Colorado together! My birthday is at the end of October, and Jon had been mentioning that he wanted to take me on a trip for my birthday. Like any traveler-adventurer-explorer-the-best-deal-finder-husband, Jon found incredible prices on Frontier flights to Colorado for $85 (round trip, direct flight). YES, PLEASE.
Within a week, we planned this trip! We flew into Denver and were kindly picked up by our friend, Lauren, who drove us to a car rental place. Next stop was Chick-fil-a for breakfast and hiking at Estes Park! Lauren was a wonderful tour guide, and we loved spending time with her. We were bragging that we had woken up at 3:30am EST to catch our flight, but we were quickly brought to perspective when she said, "I've been awake since....yesterday!"
I was shocked.
I had totally forgotten that she was a nurse and never considered that she'd pull an all-nighter AND THEN go hiking. She's a tough one!
Here are some photos of the first day in Estes Park (we drove to Nebraska that evening). Jon is a MASTER at landscapes. His nature photos always amaze me!
We really wanted to see some wildlife while hiking, though nothing too dangerous. But there was nothing. Maybe a bird.
After hiking and grabbing something to eat in town, we decided to drive to the water to hang out before we headed to Nebraska for the rest of the week. And that's when we saw them.
Apparently, they were at the peak of rutting season. What you see below are a couple herds of elk (one is in the water). The head bulls of each herd are trying to protect their cows (females) while also stealing cows from the other herd to add to their own. It was crazy amazing to watch, and to see these animals fighting for what they wanted.
A few photos down, you'll see one bull bugling to the other cows, trying to get them to come over. The other bull kept reigning them back in until the bugling bull RAN ACROSS THE FIELD to get 2 or 3 of them.
At the end, you'll see the two bulls rutting (one had already lost an antler from a previous rut). The loser angrily resigns to the water.
Honestly, I think people were standing way too close to the action! In a moment, those creatures can destroy you and your vehicle. So powerful, and so beautiful to watch! We are so glad we got to see this!
Above are some majestic photos of Twin Peaks while we took a scenic route to Nebraska. Since we have SO MANY PHOTOS to share, we'll have to write another post including some gorgeous images from Nebraska (cue the Milky Way!) and more of Colorado!

I finally closed my two Etsy shops. Neither of them were even remotely successful.
Partly because I never had enough inventory to make it a "real" shop. And partly because I lost motivation. There are billions of items on Etsy and it was impossible for my products to be found on even the most sophisticated searches.
These days, the craft supplies and manufactured items have taken over. Its no longer a place for handmade.
I opened one shop back in 2013 and I had about a dozen quilts and tote bags offered for sale. I sold 1 quilt through the site and I got one commission. The other shop was opened about 18 months ago to sell my handbags. That was slightly more useful and I sold several purses, but it was a struggle to get noticed.
One of the things I find really interesting about Etsy now (versus what I saw 4 years ago), is it seems most people use Etsy the same way they use Pinterest. They "like" your product and collect images in their "favorites" list. Each time a user "liked" one of my products, I would get a notification.... a little ping on my phone ... a little suggestion that someone is interested and might actually buy something. So curious and hopeful, I would click to see which item they liked. What I found was that most users had hundreds, and in some cases, thousands of "favorites." They might like one of my clutches, but they also liked about 200 other clutches. Clearly, these are not buyers.
Another interesting thing I tried is the Etsy wholesale offering. After reading about it, I was very interested to see if I could find an independent boutique would be interested in carrying my handmade leather bags. I took all their suggestions about how to set up a wholesale account, I had great photography, about 20 products, good mix of large and small items, and I lowered the price by 50% as required for wholesale. I went live and waited. The first week I got about 10 views. After that, next to nothing.
So, at this point, Etsy is nothing but a distraction for me. The fees are not high, so its not a $ thing. Its just simply not worth the time. I have been meaning to shut them down for a while, but just never took the step. Now its done.
For my handbag business, I have found success. But it wasn't through any kind of online channel --- rather my new business connection came through the old fashioned channel: face to face. Last year, I went to Taos, New Mexico to present a lecture to the Taos Quilting and Needlecraft Guild. While I was in town, I scoped out a couple of the women's boutiques and went in and introduced myself. I struck up a conversation with one highly energetic owner and she loved my leather and cowhide handbags. We immediately made an arrangement for her to carry my bags and they are selling! This store has a nice offering of unique clothing and accessories and the customers and tourists appreciate something handmade that you won't find at the store down the street. The store is Michelle's. Stop by and say hi if you're ever in Taos.
The internet is an amazing and wonderful thing. But nothing beats face to face communication.

The oil and gas industry is undergoing significant change. Companies want to lower costs, increase efficiency and reduce environmental impacts. In-situ bitumen production, which accounts for more than 50% of total production in Alberta, uses steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD), the standard production method for all new projects. Operators today want to move away from existing methods, built for large-scale mega-projects, and toward more nimble, smaller-scale operations.
Key industry players have identified FSG as the most promising replacement solution for steam generation. The FSG Technologies team is focused on designing, supplying and maintaining new solutions for steam generation. FSG Technologies understands the industry's need to be innovative, environmentally responsible and profitable.
FSG Technologies is well positioned to help the industry move forward with smaller-scale projects, which are more adaptable and more sensitive to environmental concerns, site developments and capital cost management.
FSG holds the exclusive license for the commercialization of FSG technology worldwide, with an option to acquire the patent from its parent companies. FSG Technologies has received considerable interest from potential funders. Successful investment will help FSG Technologies make this breakthrough technology available to operators as soon as possible.
The industry standard: OTSG
Currently, operators working in oil sands production rely on extensive water treatments to deal with the effluents, or liquid waste, generated from the extraction processes. In preparation for the once-through steam generation (OTSG) process, de-oiled water and brackish water must undergo softening treatment using warm lime softeners (WLS), filtering and weak acid cation (WAC) softeners before reaching the boiler feed water levels. These treatments remove excess minerals, such as magnesium and calcium, before de-aerating the water. Only then is the water ready for the actual OTSG process where the water is boiled to generate high-pressure steam. Even with this upstream water treatment, failure rates for OTSG boilers are very high, resulting in increased costs for operators.
FSG: an innovative solution
As we look to the future, the old standard is no longer sufficient. FSG Technologies aims to take the industry in a cleaner, more efficient direction. BMA and Ingenica, the parent companies of FSG Technologies, have jointly designed, developed and patented an innovative steam generation process known as Flash Steam Generation (FSG). The companies hold patents in Canada, the United States and Europe for this method of generating steam from de-oiled or brackish water and blowdown water.
The FSG process generates steam without boiling the water. This eliminates the principal cause of the deposits within the heat exchangers that lead to blockages and downtime. FSG technology eliminates this problem, increasing effectiveness while reducing costs.
The FSG process
In summary, here's how it works. The FSG process:
Directly uses de-oiled water or OTSG blowdown water as feedwater,
Brings process water to a very high pressure (180 bar),
Heats up process water to a few degrees below boiling point (saturation temperature),
Generates steam by depressurizing or "flashing" the heated process water through an opening in the flash vessel, which is unheated,
Mixes the remaining condensate with incoming makeup feedwater and sends it back to the heat exchanger.
Key differences
The key differences arising from the FSG process include:
No boiling water in the heat exchanger,
Water stays in liquid phase until it reaches the flash vessel,
No evaporation deposit in the heat exchanger,
Steam generation is separated from heat transfer,
Solid particles are concentrated in the flash tank blowdown.
Lab testing program
FSG Technologies has invested $3.5 million in its Montreal lab, which contains a lab flash tank and pumps, heat exchangers and a state-of-the-art control system. With the support of two major industry operators, the company successfully tested its proof of concept in the lab during the two-year lab testing program in 2015–2016. The testing included configuration testing and endurance runs undertaken with process water shipped from Alberta SAGD facilities by Nexen and Cenovus.
Using de-oiled water and OTSG blowdown water, FSG succeeded in:
Achieving steam generation without chemical addition;
Achieving a water recycling ratio of 95% or more;
Testing various operational configurations;
Achieving uninterrupted endurance runs of up to three weeks, equivalent to approximately 11 months at industrial scale.
Next step: field testing
The FSG process has been lab tested and is now ready to be verified at a much larger scale through field testing. The field pilot unit is projected to have a steam generation capacity of 8,300 kg/hour, i.e. 115 times the size of the lab. The field test will use seven modules compared to the single module used in the lab.
Key performance indicators include the length of the endurance runs between maintenance operations, and associated efficiency trends (as there can be several maintenance strategies). Meeting these benchmarks will help FSG meet its goal of being the most efficient steam generator ever in the oil industry.
De-oiled water is the result of steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). SAGD processes use high-pressure steam to move oil held in bitumen in the form of an emulsion to the surface. The water has to be removed in order to produce usable oil. The water that's left after the oil is removed is called produced water (PW). The PW is collected in tanks for complete de-oiling and softening so it can be re-used as boiler feed water (BFW) for steam generation. This process is critical as all traces of oil and minerals have to be removed before being reused. Otherwise it causes blockages and delays.
Brackish water is water that has more than 1,000 parts per million of total dissolved solids. It can be treated for use in SAGD processes as an alternative to fresh water. Using brackish water is an industry response to local opposition to using fresh water for industrial processes.
Blowdown water is water with the highest amount of impurities. With our technology, collecting blowdown water is a controlled process: We extract the densest condensates from the bottom of the flash vessel as a way to manage particle concentration levels.
The oil sands industry is looking for significant change in its production methods to reduce costs and improve environmental performance. The FSG model offers a viable option for operators who want to eliminate the use of harmful chemicals and reduce GHG emissions while improving their water recycling ratios.
Cleaner, greener results
FSG's state-of-the-art design cuts gas consumption and reduces the carbon footprint (CO2) by 15% or more compared to once-through steam generation (OTSG) processes thanks to higher process efficiency; this is largely the result of less water wastage, since wasted water is effectively heated for nothing. The FSG process also reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions to less than 5 ppm thanks to its multi-stage combustion process.
The FSG process also boosts the water recycling ratio to 95%. Water losses are almost completely eliminated, with operations saving up to 20% water. In comparison, current technology only results in about 80% water recycling ratios in warm lime softener (WLS) and once-through steam generation (OTSG) plants, and about 90% water recycling ratios in evaporators and drum boilers.
Last but not least, FSG does all this without the use of additives or chemicals beyond what might be needed to manage pH and reduce excess oxygen (to be assessed in pilot testing).
Smaller footprint
FSG's highly modular format offers a much smaller footprint for production facilities. For companies wanting scalability in their plant operations, the flash steam generation unit gives companies greater flexibility and more efficient use of space for operators compared to other production processes, which rely on water treatment and boiler technologies.
Because the FSG process generates steam directly from de-oiled production water, there is no need for a local water treatment plant. This results in a much smaller footprint requirement for FSG-based production facilities. The reduced volume of water and chemicals required reduces operators' capital expenses because the smaller phases offer more flexibility.
FSG technology has been designed to set new industry standards for availability and reliability. The core FSG product is a modular steam unit that is factory-built and tested, ready for road or rail shipment as desired.
Higher availability and reliability
Because FSG dramatically reduces the accumulation of deposits in the heat exchanger tubes, it provides higher reliability and availability. This virtually puts an end to tube failures and allows much longer operational runs between cleaning operations. The unit remains fully piggable, meaning it can be cleaned easily with a special tool for pipes.
The heat exchanger and pre-heater can also be fully removed and replaced in a single day, and these units can be factory refurbished. Increased availability means more bitumen production, resulting in more revenues per year. This high standard helps reduce maintenance down times, which add to operating costs and eat up profits.
Decreased downtime
As a result of the technological advances described above, the FSG process brings about a tenfold decrease in downtime. In practical terms, lab testing suggests run times of up to 11 months at industrial scale. That means companies can benefit from a better ROI on costs and a lower risk in operation.
Modularity and Off-Site Testing
FSG deploys a fully modular architecture where ten standard modules are fully built, assembled and pre-tested at a dedicated facility off-site before being shipped to site. On-site works is limited to battery limits, preparation works, re-assembly of the modules and post-installation check-out, thus minimizing interference with operations and costs.
The oil sands industry suffers from some of the world's highest aggregated production costs. Cutting capital expenses will help significantly while also lowering the investment threshold (currently at about $1.5 billion). FSG Technologies makes it easy for operators to replace existing assets or expand existing facilities, with flexible, low-risk solutions to begin production or to upgrade the performance of existing plants.
Flexible solutions
FSG Technologies is planning to develop a differentiated product offering that leverages the strengths of FSG technology. This product line will include the following solutions:
OTSG replacement units. Rated at a steam production pressure of 10 MPa like current SAGD systems, these units may be added to existing SAGD facilities without the need to expand existing water treatment plants. They can also replace existing OTSG units reaching end of life.
Steampads. These units are rated at an optimal steam production pressure of 5 MPa, unlike incumbent systems which produce at 10 MPa for historical reasons and require downstream equipment to lower steam pressure to the 3 to 4 MPa required for injection in the wellheads. FSG's steampads incorporate de-oiling equipment so they may be deployed in stand-alone or distributed configurations that are ideally suited for second-tier leases, which are typically located off the fairway. Steampads may even be linked to renewable energy resources such as wind turbines, potentially replacing up to 30% of a plant's heating costs.
New CPF units. For new projects that do not require a connection to an existing 10 MPa steam header, 5 MPa units without the de-oiling element offer both phasing freedom and the increased efficiency of lower steam output pressure.
OTSG blowdown recovery units. Rated at a steam production pressure of 10 MPa, these units, based on the standard OTSG replacement units, will be able to recover the blowdown from existing OTSG units and turn most of it into steam, thus increasing the efficiency of existing CPFs. Tests in FSG Technologies' Montreal lab showed that at least 90% of OTSG blowdown water could be turned into steam. BRUs can improve the performance of existing facilities and help meet increasingly stringent environmental targets while reducing production costs.
Hybrid FSG-COGEN Units. Rated at a steam production pressure of 10 MPa like current COGEN units, or potentially at 5 MPa if appropriate, these units would include a Cogeneration turbine in the lower part of the combustion stack – replacing the first level of burners – to heat the flue gases while generating power for the site, similarly to existing COGEN units in CPF facilities.
Better investment
Unlike other processes, FSG technology allows operators to use more flexible project models, and will make second-tier leases more practical. These features will help the oil sands industry recover, nourishing the economy and boosting employment in the region. With staged investments, projects are also easier to finance, allowing companies to resume project investments in Alberta much earlier than expected.
FSG units can be deployed individually without the need for a big water treatment plant. This flexibility means operators of existing plants can phase in their investment in new projects.
The modular structure of the FSG units decreases capital costs and reduces deployment time, shortening the delay before first oil. This modular architecture increases reusability, making it possible for operators to relocate units should a drilling area prove unproductive.
FSG technology will lower capital costs (CAPEX) by 10 to 25% and operating costs (OPEX) by 5 to 15%, as well as de-risking projects. All of this adds up to better returns for investors.

FANS of Diary of a Wimpy Kid have taken to Twitter to demonstrate their dismay at a new actor being cast in the role of Rodrick.
The #NotMyRodrick campaign started after a new trailer showed the character being played by actor Charlie Wright instead of original star Devon Bostick.
The new film, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul, is due out later this year, but fans of the franchise are looking unfavourably on the new Rodrick – with some even comparing him to Willy Wonka.
One fan tweeted: "Devon doesn't deserve this disrespect".
"My childhood is ruined forever", another added.
Irish men not welcomeEscort reveals all about life as a sex worker, her 'no Irish' rule and why 7am can be a very busy time

Another Devon fan said: "The new Rodrick looks like a kid Rodrick would bully".
"What do you think of this disgusting Willy Wonka looking Rodrick", another disgruntled fan asked.
What do you think? Are fans being harsh or are they right to be annoyed?
The outrage at the new Rodrick comes just days after Disney fans were left fuming after finding out that the live-action remake of Mulan may not feature ANY of the original songs.
The film's director, Niki Caro, shocked its legion of fans when she told MovieFone: "From what I understand, no songs right now, much to the horror of my children."

One of the cool things to result from my recent re-upgrade to Vim 7.4 was the return of the * clipboard. I have these two (well, four, with the comments) lines in my .vimrc:
" In visual mode, use Y to copy to system clipboard
vnoremap Y "*y
" In normal mode, do the same with the current line
nnoremap Y "*yy
They might explain themselves (well, with the comments), no? In case they don't: They map the Y key so that it yanks text into the * register. This register represents Vim's view of your OS's clipboard… it's a little hard to get from the docs, but here is from clipboard under :help quotestar:
There is a special register for storing this selection, it is the "* register. Nothing is put in here unless the information about what text is selected is about to change (e.g. with a left mouse click somewhere), or when another application wants to paste the selected text. Then the text is put in the "* register. For example, to cut a line and make it the current selection/put it on the clipboard:
Similarly, when you want to paste a selection from another application, e.g., by clicking the middle mouse button, the selection is put in the "* register first, and then 'put' like any other register. For example, to put the selection (contents of the clipboard):
(I copied that using my Y mapping! Hee, hee!)
This was not working for me on pre-7.4 Vim, but it is on post-7.4. Also, I do not know what the hubbub seems to be about left mouse clicks or middle mouse buttons; I just use a keyboard-derived visual selection in Vim. So what this means is that I can select text using v or V (Vim's visual mode, either linewise or characterwise), hit Y, and then Cmd+V into TextEdit, or Messages or Blogger via Firefox. (I'm on a Mac.)
This is hugely helpful, since I prefer to deal with text from inside Vim (and I use terminal Vim), but then of course text is often needed elsewhere and to be dealt with from within other apps. My terminal emulator (iTerm2, although I don't know that I use any of its distinguishing-from-Terminal features) was always more or less a first-class application in this regard, but not its Vim; with these mappings making use of this register, I can copy from Vim and then paste into
Tip #984 on the venerable Vim Tips Wiki covers this, with additional and related discussion.

What to Expect at Expo West/
6 Not-To-Miss Trends Shaping the Future of Food
This week over 80,000 health and wellness leaders will gather in Annaheim, CA for what some call the Fashion Week of food: Natural Products Expo West is where the world's top food companies, healthy-food innovators, retailers, and even potential investors as come together under one roof to ask "what's next?"
Here area some of the biggest trends to watch for at this year's show that are already reshaping how we eat and drink in 2018.
- Foods that are "Net Positive"
For many forward-thinking brands, it's no longer enough to be sustainable: the best brands capturing consumers' attention today feature ingredients and business practices that go a step further to focus on being regenerative for both people and planet (For example; pea protein and peanuts aren't only tasty plant proteins associated with a healthy diet, they help replenish soil health, reducing the need for fossil-fuel heavy fertilizers). This trend includes beef and bison products that use regenerative grazing to restore soil health, companies funneling back profits into a strong strong social mission, or brands that have 3rd party certifications such as Biodynamic.
Upcycling of ingredients
Food entrepreneurs are creating delicious new foods and drinks from upcycled ingredients previously been cast aside as food waste. According to the USDA between 30-40% of all food in the US goes to waste and this movement keeps nourishment and resources out of our landfills. This trend includes fruit leathers and cold-pressed juices made from "ugly" veggies and fruits, bars baked with "spent" grain leftover from craft beer brewing, or antioxidant tea made using coffee leaves (which in conventional farming are considered waste or fed to livestock).
- Expanding Organic Access As a More Just Food System
Leaders in the good food movement are striving to bring the benefits of organics (such as ingredients grown without potentially harmful synthetic pesticides) to more eaters. Earths' Best Organic ® Baby food (one of my partners I am proud to collaborate with), for instance, is focused on making organics an everyday affordable option through things like simple packaging and traditional recipes. Plus is the only national organic brand that's authorized for WIC, a federal nutritional assistance program for women, infants and children.
- A Mighty Microbiome
Our keen interest in cultivating a healthy gut health continues to show up at the grocery store. No doubt this is boosted by a flurry of that science which suggests our microbiome. The term microbiome refers to the collection of microbes that live in and on the human body. It acts almost like a hidden organ, forming a complex ecosystem that constantly interacts with our own health. Researchers believe the microbiome plays a critical role in influencing the pH of our gut (which can encourage or prohibit the growth of unwanted pathogens), helps us synthesize essential vitamins, influences our brain chemistry and mental health, and even more, regulates our own genetic activity in ways that can spur health or fan inflammation. While science is still far from fully understood (and zealous marketing in some cases leaps ahead of the evidence), look for this trend to play out across the grocery aisles in everything from drinking vinegars and "gut shots", snacks and condiments promising a probiotic boost, to foods rich in prebiotics (indigestible fibers that our "good bugs" need to thrive).
- The Plant Protein Revolution
This category continues to soar, and is driven by two trends: our unwavering interest in plant-based eating and a passion for protein. In addition to next-generation plant burgers bent on mimicking the look and flavor of real beef, look for innovations in beverages (such as peanut milk, which delivers an impressive 8 grams of protein per 8 oz, on par with cow's milk), snacks (crunchy chickpeas, anyone?), pastas (plant proteins are addition nutritional oomph with garbanzo bean, lentil, or almond flour), plus plant protein powders (such as hemp) as a protein and omega-3 rich DIY base for the smoothie bowl craze.
- Functional Ingredients to Power Well-Being
Call it superfoods 2.0: from adaptogens to mushrooms, there is a whole new generation of functional ingredients that show promise in helping us soothe away stress, rev-up our immune system or give us a mental boost. These compounds are showing up in energy bars, chocolate, coconut creamers, teas and other wellness beverages, coffee drinks, smoothie packets, and more.

Keynote Address: Creating and Communicating Environmental Intelligence
Environmental Intelligence is a system through which information about a particular region or process is collected for the benefit of improving ecosystem health. Traditionally, researchers collect data, develop models, and communicate results through well-established channels that are often ineffective at communicating results in a way that enables decision making and investment for ecosystem health.
Creating environmental intelligence has been facilitated by the dramatic expansion in data gathering capacity, novel funding schemes, and reporting mechanisms (e.g., report cards). Communicating environmental intelligence has been enhanced by innovations in data visualisation coupled with storytelling. Effectively combining the creation and communication of environmental intelligence can lead to improvements in ecosystem health

Artist's Statement
I haven't seen a lot of these images before. I mean, I've SEEN them. I took them, and I remember being there, at the shows, but most of these negatives have never been printed or scanned because they are not what magazines were looking for when I took them.
Magazines wanted faces of the musicians. They had to be so that you could see them, no hair or flying feet in the way, and they had to be sharp. AKA in focus, which was challenging before digital exposure and auto focus. The rooms were dark and hot. The lens of the camera fogged up sometimes. Then those faces were not seeable. They were not acceptable. They wanted faces, but they were not looking at the best of the faces, the ones really there, really in the time and place.
So, for the first time, here are the rest of the faces. They might be your faces, really yours, if you were there. Or they might be the faces of your friends, who were there, too. Or they might be the faces you see around you at every show. That guy with the long hair, that guy with the tattoos, that girl int he tank top, that person over there, yelling in the ear of that other person who is politely smiling even though they can't hear a damn thing.
I want you to look at these faces. Look into these eyes and be in the sweat and the noise. Smell the dank ages of cigarette smoke and body oder. Go home and put on Dag Nasty, even if it is on Spotify, and sink into the sound.
This collection of photos owes all gratitude to the kids with no fear who jumped and slammed. Dyane, Paul, Ed, Rev. Hank, Steve, Mark, Torie, Galen, Fran, Roger, Deb and hundreds of other people who still love the feel of loud music. This collection owes all gratitude to the bands who turned up and up to be louder than the drummer who was hitting harder and harder to be louder than the guitars. And to the singers who yelled and screamed to be louder than everyone else. 7 Seconds, the Descendants, Verbal Assault, Youth Brigade, Justice League, Marginal Man, Murphy's Law, Scream, The Adolescents, Uniform Choice, and while we are at it, DI and Feeding Frenzy, too.
More, more, more, there are so many more.
I hope you enjoy looking at these photos as much as I have enjoyed unearthing them. I hope you will tell me what you see, and that you love these faces, too.
Thank you for letting me take them, and thank you for letting me show them.

I lost the love my life in 2015.
Needless to say I was caught off guard and devastated by the circumstance. My Christian friends reminded me that the "Battle was the Lords".
In the midst of my trial I realized I had put her in the driver's seat and God in the backseat of my life. I knew I needed to make God first in my life. I now wake up everyday at 6 AM in His word, journal and read the books "Jesus Calling", "Be Still and Know", "My Utmost for His Highest" and "Streams in the Desert" and "The Book Of Mysteries". I also started listening to Christian music. The music encouraged me to record God's messages. My journals slowly unveiled to me His love, His peace and His promises.
I was to trust him and be kind and compassionate despite the pain of abandonment.
Encouraged by the stillness and serenity of the early morning, I started to see the encouraging words in my journal challenging me to rise above my circumstances and praise the Lord in word and song.
My first songs were "Trust Me" and "Your Word."
Following songs were "Your Love", "Your Promise", "Your Peace", "Follow Me", 'Ordinary Man", "The Battle is the Lords, "Never Forget" and "Just Today."
When I look back at the messages and the sequence of the songs, I can see the wisdom of God's hand in the order of his challenges: "Trust Me", "My Word", "My Love", "My Promises" "My Peace" and "Follow Me".
God has challenged me to live without pride as an "Ordinary Man." May I "Never Forget" my journey out of the darkness and into His light.
I could have spent a whole life asking the question "why", now I just trust God to guide me to "what's next".
My new life's direction is to "Live for Christ" by living for others "Just Today" and everyday. I pray that these songs and new ones inspired by the Holy Spirit will aid and encourage others to see God's love and hand in our lives despite the circumstances.
He is now first in my life.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBSMW) -- Ned Barnholt is part old Hewlett-Packard, and part new Agilent.
"In many ways, we've been overshadowed within HP ... but we deserve some of the spotlight and to have a chance to flourish on our own."
Ned Barnholt, Agilent
A 33-year H-P veteran, Barnholt headed the division of the Palo Alto, Calif.-based computer and printing giant that focused on test and measurement equipment. While highly profitable in the early 1990s, Barnholt's division had little flash compared to the other H-P divisions.
Now Barnholt is chief executive of Agilent Technologies A, -0.16% -- the H-P spinoff with nearly 40,000 employees. After closing at 42 1/2, up from its IPO price of $30, it took Agilent one trading session to steal the spotlight -- something the H-P division hadn't done in decades. Agilent now has a market cap of $19 billion, compared to H-P's $96 billion market value.
In an interview with CBS.MarketWatch.com, Ned Barnholt talked about what the Agilent IPO means for him, for other H-P employees, and investors.
CBSMW: What does the Agilent IPO mean to the employees of what some have called H-P's "stealth" division?
Barnholt: In many ways, we've been overshadowed within HP. That's fine, because there are a lot of other good H-P businesses. But we deserve some of the spotlight and to to have a chance to flourish on our own.
CBSMW: What's different about the way Agilent does business than the way the rest of H-P conducts itself?
Barnholt: We tend to be better integrated with manufacturers than HP is. We also have a direct selling model in most of our businesses. What's more, we have more people in our sales organizations as a percentage of our total business. (H-P has about 87,000 employees, and Agilent has roughly 40,000.)
CBSMW: The Agilent business is pretty much the same way it was organized within H-P. How can you do things better?
Barnholt: Now with our stock being traded every day and our performance being reported every quarter, there's going to be even more focus on delivering consistent results and capitalizing on the opportunities we have in our businesses. Inside a large company, it's hard for some people to feel like they can move the needle. In a company that's $8 billion instead of $47 billion, people can have a bigger impact.
I think that morale in the measurement parts of H-P's business always have been quite good. People have been proud to be in the measurement organization. But as part of the larger organization, we didn't have the same sense of urgency.
CBSMW: What goals will you key on in your first year at the company?
Barnholt: I can't really get specific on the financial goals. But in general, we are participating in the very broad revolution that's going on in the communications market. We want to capitalize markets for communications, as well as life sciences. We're repositioning our investments.
CBSMW: What do you mean by your "investments"?
Barnholt: I mean research and development, as well as marketing, selling, and activities in our services and support organizations. The underlying theme is "dreams made real". We provide the underlying technologies that let our customers do their jobs. And whether they're chemists or doctors, we can provide the tools, monitoring systems and components they need.
CBSMW: What is your single biggest challenge now?
Barnholt: As an independent company, we need to be very conscious of the goals of our shareholders. The biggest change will be that the spotlight is on us all the time.
CBSMW: Can you talk about some of the clean-up work that went into preparing Agilent for its stock offering?
Barnholt: Last year, as a result of the downturn in Asia and the semiconductor market, we took a number of restructuring actions that position us more strongly going forward. We closed down one of our integrated circuit fabs to consolidate our activities. We moved some of our manufacturing to Southeast Asia. And we had a voluntary severance program for a number of the different businesses.
Also this year, we have sold off a couple of businesses we think will allow us to focus even more on our core: communications and life sciences. For example, we sold a video broadcast server business to Pinnacle Systems. That's a very good business; we were successful with it. But we thought it would be more successful outside of our company. Another example: we sold a power amplifier business to PowerWave. We wanted to focus on the activities more in the target of what we want to do.
CBSMW: What?s Agilent?s biggest short-term opportunity?
Barnholt: The biggest short-term opportunity, we believe, is in capitalizing in the dramatic changes going on in communications. We're in the middle of all the hot new technologies for the Internet, as well as high-speed data networks. We provide tools like testers for fiber optic equipment, and for all the new wireless standards -- as well as for local-area-network and wide-area-network standards.
CBSMW: But what about the part of the business you call life sciences?
Barnholt: In life sciences, there are a number of core products, like our mass spectrometers, which sell into the pharmaceutical markets for disease discovery and drug discovery. We also introduced some revolutionary new micro-fluidic technology that's changing the way drugs are being developed. We think those things are a little longer-term before they start driving revenue growth. We just launched some of the initiatives recently.
CBSMW: Are you comfortable with your new position?
Barnholt: I'm very happy. We are very rich in technologies, and we have a culture of being entrepreneurial. I'm having a lot of fun; it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to lead a terrific organization of people who are proud of what they do.
