Third-Party Opinion
Yamaha is focused on ensuring better communication with all stakeholders in order to respond to various CSR-related issues in Japan and overseas.
This year, Makiko Akabane shares her opinion on Yamaha's CSR activities and the Yamaha CSR Report 2013 in order to make improvements going forward.
|Makiko Akabane
Director, Japan
CSR Asia Tokyo Office
This CSR Report provides ample evidence of Yamaha's awareness as a global manufacturer engaged in sound and music that has been in business for 125 years. Yamaha's CSR activities are being conducted broadly and with sincerity to a level that is almost incomparable with other producers of musical instruments around the world. It is clear that Yamaha takes a positive stance to driving advanced CSR initiatives in the market for sound and music as a global enterprise. This also includes reporting on negative information without trying to conceal anything in such areas as the environment, products and workplace safety.
Yamaha aims to accelerate growth in China and emerging markets under the new medium-term management plan that started in April 2013, demonstrating a particular attention to global business development. The CSR Report is a good tool to convey the effects of CSR activities being undertaken in an earnest and careful manner throughout the Group, but there is one thing I would like Yamaha to make a more conscious effort with based on the Company's high aspirations of having its CSR recognized on the global stage. The methodology I am referring to is stakeholder engagement, or the relationship Yamaha has with its stakeholders.
Yamaha has a large number of stakeholders, and as such, it is important to identify those stakeholders that are important to the Company and increase efforts to engage with them more fully. In particular, if Yamaha endeavors to expand business in overseas markets, stakeholder engagement at the local level will become vital to understand what stakeholders in that region perceive the social problems to be and what they would like Yamaha to do in response to these problems.
The global trend in CSR requires companies to focus on initiatives to resolve key issues uncovered from stakeholder demands rather than take a wide, shallow approach to issues that are related to that company's operations. The Yamaha CSR Report does not clearly state the process of identifying which stakeholders are important to the Company or the relationship to those stakeholders that are deemed to be important. Consequently, I recommend incorporating stakeholder engagement going forward and reporting on the process of identifying key stakeholders. Since stakeholders differ depending on region and time period, it is necessary to stay involved with them in a strategic and ongoing manner rather than take a one-off, one-directional stance.
Overseas readers might point out that this report has less information on effects and impacts from Yamaha's CSR activities. For example, the report includes detailed information on the frameworks created in relation to governance, quality assurance, human resource development and social contribution as well as the programs being implemented that are based on these frameworks. However, the report doesn't clearly mention the effects and impacts that Yamaha's activities have brought to society. The existence of frameworks and programs is indeed critical, but readers around the world also expect to hear what kind of effects or impacts these frameworks and programs had. Although it probably isn't that simple to measure the effects and impacts of CSR initiatives in practical terms, I would like Yamaha to make a conscious effort in this regard going forward.
(July 2012)
Response to Third-Party Opinion
Masahito Hosoi
Senior Executive Officer in charge of the Corporate Administration Group
Yamaha Corporation
This year we received feedback from Makiko Akabane, Director, Japan CSR Asia Tokyo Office, a think tank with the largest network in Asia specializing in CSR and sustainability, on our CSR initiatives and CSR Report. We are indeed grateful to Ms. Akabane for her opinion.
Ms. Akabane gave us high marks for our stance toward CSR activities while also pointing out the importance of stakeholder engagement in promoting global business development and recommending that we place more emphasis on this area. As directed, it is vital that Yamaha accurately identifies expectations and needs through dialog with stakeholders in each region and reflects these in unique CSR initiatives. The "TOGETHER" part of our corporate objective "CREATING KANDO* TOGETHER" refers to connections with stakeholders, and we believe that our corporate objective will carry increasing significance in our business activities going forward.
Together with the aforementioned, it was also pointed out that Yamaha does not provide sufficient information on the effects and impacts of our CSR activities. Although it is difficult to measure effects and impacts, as alluded to by Ms. Akabane, we will work to quantify each item and disclose the relevant information to the extent possible going forward.
* KANDO is a Japanese word that signifies an inspired state of mind.

Depart Edinburgh at 9am and travel west, passing Linlithgow Palace and Stirling, with its imposing castle and views of the Wallace Monument. Pass Doune Castle, the set of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, before stopping in Callander for refreshments. Crossing into the Highlands,head north toward the glorious scenery surrounding Loch Luibnaig, then through Breadalbane (meaning the "high country of Scotland") and up to the wild desolation of Rannoch Moor. Continue through the spectacular mountain pass of Glencoe, scene of the great massacre of the Clan Macdonald in 1692.
Leaving Fort William after lunch, you'll drive past Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis, and into the Great Glen. Traveling west on the "Road to the Isles," head through the splendor of the Five Sisters of Kintail, the mountains that guard the pass on the way to the Isle of Skye. Stop to visit the famous Eilean Donan Castle, one of Scotland's most photographed castles, set at the junction of three lochs and completely surrounded by water. Crossing over the bridge to Skye, follow the dramatic coastline north toward the island's capital, Portree. You are then dropped off at your accommodation in the early evening, when you are free to go out and explore the town.
Day 2: Portree
There are many possibilities depending on the weather, and your knowledgeable driver/guide will help the best itinerary for you on that particular day. North of Portree is the Trotternish ridge with its spectacular cliffs and rock formations, such as the famous landmark the Old Man of Storr, the impressive sea cliff, Kilt Rock and the stunning mountain pass of the Quiraing. It's amazing natural scenery, which is best enjoyed away from the van by taking a walk through this unique landscape.
Further west, the scenery changes again with the emerald green valley of Glendale, the dramatic sea cliffs of Neist Point (the most westerly point on the island, where you might get lucky and spot some whales or sharks!)and the 13th-century home of the Clan Macleod, Dunvegan Castle. You return to Portree in the evening.
Day 3: Portree - Edinburgh
You will be collected from your accommodation and travel south through the Cuillin Hills and back over to the mainland for stunning views over Loch Duich and the Five Sisters of Kintail. Then it's onto Loch Ness for lunch and the possibility of spotting Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster. There is a boat trip (April to October only; price not included) available here that will get you a bit closer!
Then head south through the Grampian mountains along Loch Laggan, famous as "Monarch of the Glen Country," before passing Dalwhinnie, home to Scotland's highest whisky distillery. Continue past Blair Castle, stopping for refreshments before heading back to Edinburgh via Perth and over the Forth Road Bridge. You'll arrive in Edinburgh city center by early evening.
If you cancel within 14 day(s) of the scheduled departure, there is a 100 percent cancellation fee.
Traveler Reviews
Reviewed by: Liv F, September 2014
The 3 day Isle of Skye tour was great. We saw an amazing amount of places in 3 days. I loved the Isle of Skye it is very beautiful and so very green. Our driver Aiden was great - he gave us lots of information about Scottish history and the areas we visited and played a great mix of Scottish music along the way as well. I would recommend the trip to others for sure. My only gripe was that my B and B was a pretty long walk from the center of Portree and I did not have a map and walked alone. I was reimbursed for taking a cab back to the B and B after dinner in Portree the first night. It is more difficult to find a single B and B room. However the B and B itself was nice, the food was good and plentiful, and the hostess was very friendly. Overall it was a great trip - I plan on coming back again some day. I also enjoyed staying in Edinburgh a couple of days seeing the castle and going on a ghost tour a night :) I would have booked a ticket in advance to see the Military Tatoo if I had known about it ahead of time. They were sold out over a month in advance. I love old castles which is one of the reasons I had wanted to come to Scotland.
Reviewed by: Laura A. M, September 2014
Our authentic Scottish tour guide was engaging and knowledgeable about the area. He made an effort to learn about the people in the group first thing and was helpful and informative. Our accommodations were excellent on Skye with views of the lake and were within walking distance of the shops and restaurants in the beautiful town of Portree. Jamie is by far the best guide we have ha so far on any of the tours we booked for this trip.

BONITA SPRINGS: An 80-acre brush fire was burning off of Bonita Grande Drive in Bonita Springs, just east of I-75 from Bonita Beach Road.
The fire is 100-percent contained.
Bonita Grande Drive has been shut down due to heavy smoke and fire that stemmed from a scheduled controlled burn in the area.
Lee County deputies we spoke to say the wind picked up during the burn, caused more smoke than was expected and pushed the fire out of the controlled area.
The majority of the crews have left for the night. They will be back Saturday morning to mop up any hot spots.

Lighten your Shade with Hair Color Developers
The quickest way to perk up a dull look is by changing your hair color. Sometimes, though, the color on the box of your at-home hair dye kit isn't always the color you ultimately wind up with when the dying process is complete. Some women find that the colored pigment dyes their hair a bit brighter or darker than they desire. Simply increase the amount of developer for a quick fix to the problem. When it comes to mixing hair color and developer find the right products and remember these tricks for precise application.
Developer is generally distinguished by volume of peroxide. The more peroxide, the lighter your shade. For instance, 10 volume peroxide is designed for permanent, yet no-lift hair color. It's used when you want to add a tint of color to your tone, but still keep the same lightness level. Moving up a level, 20 volume peroxide lifts hair by one to two levels. This amount is typically used when you want to lift your hair color by one shade lighter than the natural color. Remember, though, the stronger the developer, the harsher affect it has on hair.
L'Oreal Professional Majicreme Developer 30 Volume is a hair color developer that can lighten natural color by three shades. The creamy formula offers gentle and a more controlled lightening action.
Another developer available, Schwarzkopf Igora Oxigenta Lotion works great to obtain maximum coverage results with a cream hair color.
If you are looking for a platinum blonde look, using a stronger volume can help. L'Oreal Professional Platinum Nutri-Developer is a lightening paste used for optimum lightening results.
Bleaching hair is a route to go to strip color entirely. While some women turn to bleach for all-over blonde, many beauty enthusiasts use the product to effectively strip a current or unpleasant color. If you want to lighten hair more than three or four shades or to eliminate brassy undertones, using a strong volume count of peroxide can achieve the look. When you move up to 40-50 volume peroxide and bleach, though, seeking help from a salon professional may be wise.
Have fun creating the hair color you want, while experimenting with the right balance between color and developer. Try out the volume levels of peroxide to achieve the lightened shade you desire.

President Announces New NCAB Appointees
On June 27, the White House announced the appointment of seven individuals to the National Cancer Advisory Board (NCAB) for 6-year terms that will expire March 9, 2012. The appointees are: Mr. Robert A. Ingram and Drs. Anthony Atala, Bruce A. Chabner, Donald S. Coffey, Lloyd K. Everson, Judah Folkman, and Karen Dow Meneses.

NCAB consists of 18 members appointed by the President of the United States and includes leading representatives of the health and scientific disciplines; the general public, including leaders in fields of public policy, law, health policy, economics, and management; and experts in environmental carcinogenesis. Leaders of several federal health agencies also participate as nonvoting members. Read more
A New Platform for Cancer Research Advances
Traditionally, much of laboratory-based cancer research has focused on the inner workings of the cancer cell or a specific cancer gene. As a result, we have generated a formidable - although still incomplete - understanding of cancer cell biology.
We also now know that, although this "reductionist" approach has proven to be extremely valuable and led to important advances, we also must develop a more cohesive understanding of how cancer cells interact with, and are influenced by, their molecular and cellular environments. Read more

SURPRISE! In a week where we've already had a brand new video from Protest Crayon, we thought we'd hit you with something else rather fascinating and special.
The notorious Mr Henry Collins has only gone and made a bonkers but beautiful concept album and donated it to Bit-Phalanx. To many Henry is the artist formerly known as veteran Planet-Mu breakcore terrorist, Shitmat. But along the way he's also been known as Kyler, which is a guise he's dusted off for this new collection entitled 'Magiske Rør'.
Kyler is the name for Henry's calmer, more cerebral side, and here he found himself spinning a plastic 'Whirly' tube around his head one day and was seduced by the eerie harmonic sounds it produced. A field recording a a solid day of editing and producing later, 'Magiske Rør' emerged. A 23 track collection of experiments made from the one single field recording of Henry and his Whirly.
In Henry's own words...
""In December 2012 I made a recording of myself swinging a plastic tube around my head. I liked the sound. It was majestic. A few months later I decided to sample the recording and make a song from it. Magiske Rør is a project concerned with taking a singular recording of a sound and making a set of songs solely from that sound.
The album has a vague dream like mood to it and was made so that the sound I recorded can live on in many different musical forms. The programming and ideas are purposely basic and transient. They were generated over the course of seven hours on March 27th 2013."
'Magiske Rør' is available to download for FREE from our Releases page now. Help yourself, and enjoy.
Many epic thanks to Henry!

Nose: Rich demerara notes, golden syrup & creamy vanilla. Oh, and a fistful of smoky peat.
Palate: Pepper & spice, iodine, brine, and of course that intense coal - the best signifier of Laphroaig to look for when tasting blind. Fiery, with woodsmoke also very prominent.
Finish: Lasting, peppery peat and lovely, lengthy rich malt.
Comment: The star turn in the Laphroaig range. On this evidence it's not difficult to see why this was voted 'Best Single Malt in the World' in Whisky Magazine's 'Best of the Best' in 2005.

One more month for the rose bushes to bloom here. But I doubt I will them for cooking, Yes to cut flowers for the home decorations. Right now the pleasant oder of the lilac bush is wafting through the kitchen screen.
In Turkey we make rose petal jam, rose petal şerbet (sherbet) in the spring and also use rose petal water for adding aroma to some kind of puddings like su muhallebisi.

Stealing is something no parent thinks their child will do. This is however common between the ages of 6 and 12. If you discover your child has stolen something, do not immediately embarrass or ridicule him. In most cases its best not to ask why, but insist that he return the object and apologize.

While descending in a cloud of snow and ice, I feel a sudden tug at my waist. My body surges forward for a moment before the rope goes slack. "Everything all right?" I yell into the wind.
Despite being 30 feet apart – the same distance for a first down on a football field – I can't see or hear my climbing partner. Odds are he can't hear me either. I yell louder. No answer.
I'm not convinced he could hear my call if he were standing next to me.
At that moment, I suddenly feel very alone. The moving rope is comforting – it's a safety line, it makes me feel connected. And now, with it stopped, that comfort has dissolved.
Confidence is tenuous – what takes years to build can falter in an instant. I continue to wait. It's cold. The wind feels sharper now – the bits of ice more penetrating. I hold the rope in my gloved hand; I can see ice accumulating on it.
I watch the rope closely, hoping for a positive sign, but bracing for the worst. Glaciers can be secretive. He could have slipped into a hidden crevasse and landed on a false bottom. If that lets go, the rope I'm holding will violently pull me toward the same icy cavern.
I grip my ice ax tighter and position my left leg higher on the slope. The sharp edges of my crampon puncture the blue glacial ice as I take a quick inventory of my rescue gear – prusiks, pickets, pulleys, extra rope. Everything is within reach.
I remind myself that he's probably fine – he probably slipped and is adjusting clothing or a crampon. But, should our situation deteriorate, I know what to do. I feel my confidence return. "You're fine," I remind myself out loud.
Just then, I feel a subtle tug in the rope, the type of tug that means things are likely OK.
Relieved, I start forward, keeping a bit of slack between us. "Well, he's at least moving," I think. "Things must not be too bad."

Merck drops as heart drug falls short in study
The failure raises more questions about treatments designed to raise good cholesterol levels.
A heart drug being developed by Merck (MRK) failed in a clinical trial, dashing hopes for a new treatment option and a potentially big-selling product for the pharmaceutical giant.
The drug, Tredaptive, is designed to raise good cholesterol levels to help ward off heart attacks and other cardiovascular events. Although it was rejected by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2008 because the agency felt it need more studies, it is already approved in Europe. Merck hoped to reapply for U.S. market approval providing that the large study showed effectiveness for the therapy.
But in a study of almost 26,000 people, Tredaptive did not meet the study goal of significantly reducing the risk of heart attack or stroke in vulnerable patients. The drug, which includes the active ingredient niacin, was tested in combination with statins, which are common cholesterol-lowering drugs. Niacin, a type of B vitamin, is one of the oldest treatments to control cholesterol levels.
Shares of Merck fell 3% to $42.48 in midday trading Thursday. The stock is up 15% in the past year.
In addition to the reported futility of the drug, the researchers found "a statistically significant increase in the incidence of some types of non-fatal serious adverse events." The company wasn't any more specific about the safety issues, but it said it was working with an independent research team at Oxford University to share the study data with regulators in the countries where the drug is approved.
"Based on the current understanding of these new data and until further analysis can be completed, Merck is recommending that providers not start new patients on Tredaptive," Merck says in a statement.
The news Thursday also raises more questions about the use of niacin as a means to raise good cholesterol to protect against heart attacks. In early 2011, the U.S. government stopped its own study of Abbott Laboratories (ABT) drug Niaspan in combination with the statin simvastatin as a therapy to prevent heart attacks. Government researchers said the drug combo didn't work and it may have been linked to strokes in a small group of patients in the study. Niaspan is approved in the U.S. to treat cholesterol levels. (Simvastatin, incidentally, is the generic name for Merck's branded cholesterol drug Zocor.)
Tredaptive (called Cordaptive when Merck sought U.S. approval a few years ago) was considered by some Wall Street analysts to be a potentially big-selling product.
In September, Leerink Swann analyst Seamus Fernandez slashed a sales estimate for the Merck drug in half to $800 million in annual revenue by 2018. The analyst said he adjusted his estimate after consulting with leading doctors who felt that Tredaptive's safety profile was no different than Niaspan's. (Read Niaspan's label here.) Tredaptive includes a drug, laropiprant, designed to offset the niacin side effect of facial flushing.
Fernandez gave Merck's study of Tredaptive a 50-50 chance of success. He said the release of the study data would be a "potential watershed event" for Merck.
Other analysts had more conservative estimates for Tredaptive. Credit Suisse analyst Catherine Arnold projected peak annual sales of $350 million by 2020.
Merck officials seemed to be at a loss for words to explain the drug's failure.
"We are committed to working closely with the independent research team at Oxford University and with regulatory agencies to understand the results and determine next steps," Merck's R&D chief Peter S. Kim says in a statement.

Touch technology plays to Atmel's strength
Patient investors might benefit from the chip-maker's heavy investment in touch-panel controllers. A beaten-down stock adds to the allure.
By Richard Saintvilus
Anyone who doubts that touch capabilities are here to stay is not paying enough attention to the smartphone and tablet markets. Consumers every day demonstrate through their spending habits that they want more of it.
For this reason, I have been an unabashed cheerleader of semiconductor giant Atmel (ATML). Its portfolio of touch technologies -- in particular, its controllers with touch-focused properties -- have become vital to the rising popularity of mobile devices.
The Silicon Valley company's stock has lost 38% of its value this year, suggesting that investors don't much care about its touch technology.
But a fresh look at the company's third-quarter financial results suggests it just might be time for investors to reconsider Atmel's market position
Though margins were better than expected, Atmel continues to be a challenged on this front: For the third quarter, gross margin registered at 43.1% -- shedding almost 1% sequentially and 7% year over year.
While investors didn't rush to applaud the company for its performance, things could have been much worse. Clearly, Atmel has been hurt by what's been a weak period for the semiconductor sector, which is likely to continue to struggle in the fourth quarter.
Atmel is projecting fourth-quarter revenue of between $328 million and $352 million. That's not entirely optimistic, considering that third-quarter revenue was $361 million. Likewise, margins are expected to come in flat to slightly lower, at around 43%.
Obviously, the company has decided to take a cautious approach with respect to its outlook, which is understandable. But that's where investors have to be willing to look beyond the numbers to fully appreciate the possibilities that lie ahead.
Atmel has remained steadfast in its commitment to push touch capabilities beyond the conventional understanding of the technology. Atmel does not need tech giant Apple (AAPL) in order to thrive in this space, and it is facing competition from the likes of Qualcomm (QCOM) and Texas Instruments (TXN). But touch is here to stay. While smartphones and tablets continue to be the major drivers of the touch market, Atmel is much more than that, and the industrial side of its business continues to be underestimated.
A good portion of the company's microcontroller revenue already comes from "non-tech" areas such as motors -- devices that operate things we take for granted within the automobile such as closing windows or locking doors.
Another area where the company is likely to generate future growth is in capacitive touch, where home appliances will soon begin to incorporate touch functionality. These include refrigerators and washers and dryers. This is on top of the company's pursuit of business in the aerospace and defense markets.
These initiatives continue to set Atmel apart from many rivals that continue to enjoy the lion's share of Wall Street's attention.
The company's maXTouch controller has recently been selected for use in Samsung's Galaxy SIII mini as well as in Microsoft (MSFT) Surface tablet. (Microsoft publishes MSN Money.) Likewise, maXTouch powers several Google (GOOG) Android devices, including Amazon's (AMZN) Kindle Fire HD. It also powers Parrot's Asteroid in-car entertainment system.
I think in the coming quarters investors should be excited about the potential growth impact of Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system and the new partnership with Samsung.
Competitive pressures
On the other hand, the company's design wins help offset some of these fears. Investors want to see that more phone designers embrace the touch controller as a central component to the devices.
Though the recent design wins would suggest a level of respect that phone manufactures have for Atmel's technology, Atmel is not the cheapest supplier, either. Price might eventually become an issue. And how that plays into Atmel's margins is something that rightfully weighs on investors.
Still, Atmel's microcontroller business represents more than 60% of its revenue and has expanded for two consecutive quarters, suggesting that the company might be in the early stages of a turnaround. Investors have to appreciate that it's going to take time as the company positions itself for future growth.
There's a lot to like with Atmel as a company and as a stock. For the stock to truly work, Atmel must figure out how to get revenue and margins heading in the right direction again. With the stock looking incredibly cheap, investors might well consider buying in to the company's potential to tap into the growing demand for touchscreen technology. For patient investors, this is an investment that I think will pay off.
At the time of publication, Richard Saintvilus did not own or control shares of any company mentioned in this post.

News - Afghanistan
Six people, most of them Taliban insurgents, were executed on Wednesday following the eight hanged on Tuesday, Attorney General Office said.
The six hanged in prison on Wednesday include Mohammad Haidar son of Mohammad Rahim and a Tajikistan national, Motawakil son of Abdul Wakil from Kabul, and Aziz Ahmad son of Faiz Mohammad from Ghazni province - all convicted organisers of two suicides attacks in Kabul, according to the Attorney General.
The two suicide attacks referred to are the attack in Ansari Square and another second in Gul Froshee Street which killed five and injured 30 others.
Deputy Attorney General Rahmatullah Nazari said these three in particular had links with Al Qaeda.
"We received the execution decree of these six people and we assigned a delegation to implement the decree. They are from Kabul, Faryab and there is a citizen of Tajikistan," he said.
Another two executed were Abdul Ali and Mohammad Arif, both residents of the Malistan District in Ghazni province. There were convicted of killing two aid workers from the United Nations.
And the sixth man hanged today was Mullah Ramazan, a resident of Faryab province and member of Taliban, who was convicted of killing 11 people including eight border police and planning suicide attacks.
While Afghan lawmakers welcomed the move, international observers decried the step calling on President Hamid Karzai to cease using the death penalty as punishment.
"Other criminals who did serious crimes especially those who rape children should face the same penalty soon," MP Oazhma Safee.
The European Union condemned the crimes of the accused, but disagreed with the sentence of execution saying it is inhumane and brutal.
International Human Rights Watch asked for more pressure to be brought to bear on Karzai to stop the executions because the judicial process in Afghanistan is weak and may risk sentencing men incorrectly.
The Taliban also surprised many with a statement asking all human rights groups, as well as the United Nations and Red Cross to stand against the executions.
A total of 14 men have been hanged in two days, ending four years of almost no state-sanctioned executions in Afghanistan.
Currently around 200 prisoners in one of Afghanistan's top security Pul-e Charkhi prison are awaiting their death sentences, according to officials. For the sentence issued by the court to be carried out, final approval must be given from the President.
