Technology and data: Driving manufacturing's future
Veronica Lara
Both small and larger manufacturing businesses, the implementation of automation or other computerized, data-driven systems does not guarantee success.
Manufacturers throughout the sector are looking for and implementing advances in technology and production processes to improve their operations and remain competitive. This significant transformation in manufacturing, often described as Industry 4.0, is a high-stakes game that can be challenging for many companies. That's because of the complexity of the disruption and the need to raise the skills of existing employees or recruit new ones.
But the search for leading-edge innovations can be seen in virtually every industrial sector. This can include everything from optimizing and accelerating production through new equipment to analyzing big data to measure and improve machine output, work processes, customer preferences, and engagement. These insights can illuminate new opportunities for manufacturers, such as potential offerings or changes in business models for improved operational efficiency.
Indeed, in a survey conducted by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and sponsored by Prudential*, manufacturing executives stressed the importance of innovation. Nearly two-thirds of respondents have implemented industrial transformation strategies, and many have seen enterprise-wide benefits as a result.

Like Prince, André 3000, and Marvin Gaye before him, R&B pinup Miguel treats carnal love as a spiritual journey. His third album is a humid mix of new wave, psychedelia, and electro-pop whose moods flip from tender to funny to gloriously X-rated, often in the same song. Foul-mouthed, yes, but he's also surprisingly well mannered—the rare male R&B singer who compares his private moments to porn one minute ("the valley") and offers to bring you coffee the next ("Coffee").

Following a highly profitable 12-18 months and a significant increase in capital with which to invest, this specialist independent insolvency practice is looking to hire a couple of new Partners to help bolster the formal side to their recovery business.
The firm is aiming to grow headcount by 25% come 2020 and revenue by the same margins and a big part of this growth is via the recruitment of work winning Partners. Having hired a couple of new Partners across corporate finance and forensic accounting in 2018, they are now on the market for a licenced insolvency practitioner with experience acting for creditors on formal appointments.
A contact base that includes venture capitalists and funders would be of real interest although the most important requirement is finding someone with the right business plan to take to market with the energy and drive to make it happen.
Those with a fee following around £350k - £750k+ will be considered although having the confidence to grow this year on year is the crucial part to being successful in this process.
If you are an ambitious IP with a desire to work in a highly entrepreneurial firm that will in turn offer a lot of support and resource to ensure you can make the most from the market, then do get in touch for further details.

Are you at a point in the year when it's getting harder to motivate and grab your students' attention? I've come across some fun apps that will help you with your class management. These apps should keep your students motivated, engaged in the lesson, and behavior under control.
The apps are low cost or free. In fact, most of the apps will be loaded on your iPad. The apps help in setting up teams or groups, setting up a reward system for behavior or work completed, random student selector, matching students and activities, and quiz review.
Another fun random name generator is Stick Pick. You can enter your student names on the app and let it randomly select a student name. But, there's even more to this great app. It is excellent for differentiation. Stick Pick has the ability to display "question stems" that are tied to each student's learning ability or for ESL students. You can even track your students' performance. Questions are based on Bloom's and Bloom's Revised modes for higher level thinking. This app is $3.99.
Quizizz is a multiplayer tool that teachers can use for review for exams or for fun trivia. Teachers can even use quizzes that were created by others. The quizzes you create can be private or public. I just took a Black History quiz that another educator created. It integrates with Google Classroom. Questions are multiple choice and images can be added to each question. There's an app for the teacher and student. It can also be played online. This app is free.

Chapter 6 – Senior Sister
⇐ Previous
Next ⇒
⌈ Index ⌋
As the plane gradually entered the cloud, the sky became darker. Most of the passengers in the cabin were resting so the atmosphere was somewhat silent.
The only restless one was the boy. That was because senior sister was sitting right beside him. Normally he could only admire her from afar, but today, he could smell her body's fragrance for the first time. As expected, you'd find her even lovelier after spending some time in close proximity of her.
If you have such a goddess as a girlfriend, wouldn't you die without regret?
However, just what kind of person was the senior sister?
Even the three celebrity brothers and the sons of real estate dealers were rejected by her. How could a good-for-nothing otaku like him catch senior sister's fancy?

If not because of a student exchange program between China and Japan high school, and him being the "lucky winner" of a drawing lot among the student union, there's no way he'd have the chance to spend time together with senior sister as the school representatives.
Perhaps he was the only one in this cabin to wish for the flight to prolong. However, in reality, there's only a little more than an hour left before landing. The young man was getting more nervous. He still hadn't spoken a word with senior sister… what to do? How could he call himself a man like this? Senior sister was right beside him, yet he didn't take the initiative to start a conversation?
However, he didn't know how to talk to girls!
What if he said something wrong, wouldn't that ruin his chance? It's better off to stay silent so that he wouldn't make any mistake…
What to do, just what to do… but if he missed this opportunity, he really wouldn't be able to get close to senior sister ever again…
Just when he was struggling within, the plane suddenly shook.
"Dear passengers, the plane has encountered turbulent wind, there might be some slight shaking, please secure your safety belt and don't move around the cabin." The flight attendant's calm and sweet voice was broadcasted.
Before she could finish her announcement, the plane shook again. And this time, the shaking was a little violent!
This time, all noise ceased inside the plane.
And the view outside the windows was all a piece of darkness. The gale whistled, and turbulent wind pounded against the plane. From time to time, they could even see a flash.
"Dear passengers, the plane has encountered a violent storm, please—"
"Bang—!!!"
The plane shook violently as the flight attendant was in the middle of broadcasting. A noisy static and strong wind began to sound in everyone's ears!
All of a sudden, the plane began to lose its balance and turned upside down—
"Ah—!!!"
The entire cabin was in a panic and raised a scream, accompanied by all kinds of items flying around. It had become as chaotic as the doomsday in a flash!
"An air crash?! No way!" The violent shake almost caused the young man's heart to jump out from his mouth. This fear caused despairing thoughts to well up in his mind, "Am I going to die? No, I don't want to die!"
The rapid change in atmospheric pressure caused the eardrum to rupture and the noise in the cabin to become strange.
The young man also shouted instinctively in a panic. He was shouting without a care in the world!
Nooo! I am going to die! I am really going to die!! Scary! So scary!!
That feeling of rapid drop and spinning caused the young man to struggle in despair, as he helplessly raised a hysterical scream!
Suddenly, a gentle and delicate hand was lightly placed on the young man's hand, which was tightly grasping the armrest.
"Th-This is…"
The originally frightened boy calmed down just as suddenly. He turned his face to look at the flickering light of the alert signals, the various kinds of items swirling in the air, the screaming passenger, and yet, among them all, senior sister was merely sitting with a calm expression on her angelic face, though she seemed to be slightly biting her lip. Her book had already flown to who knows where. In this chaotic situation, the young man could only feel the warm and slightly sweaty hand of senior sister grabbing the back of his hand more strongly.
With their hands in contact, the young man could feel that senior sister was also scared! However, even if that was the case, she was forcefully suppressing her fear and tried to encourage him!
That aloof and remote senior sister who possessed a marvelous future, in what might be her last moment of life, didn't fall to despair and even thought about the helpless him who was by her side!
So, it turned out that senior sister actually cared about him!
"You are obviously very scared yourself, and you still try to take good care of this unaccomplished junior. Are you trying to lighten my fear and suffering just a little bit before the final moment?"
"Senior sister…"
"Bang—!!!" With a loud bang, the entire front side of the plane was torn apart. As strong gale poured into the cabin, many people raised a scream as they were blown away with their seat and all.
This hopeless scene caused the young man to fall completely in despair. We're finished! This is hopeless!
The ice-cold gale devastated everything with its blade of wind.
All of a sudden, he was wrapped in a warm embrace.
"Eh?"
The whistle of the gale, the scream of sorrow, all of these seemed to be blocked out by some kind of sweet comfort as they changed into blurry sound.
At this final moment, senior sister actually wrapped an otaku like him in her embrace.
He never would've thought that, the him who only dared to look at her from afar, the youngster who didn't even dare to have eye contact with her, was now hugged tightly by this girl who was synonymous to a celestial goddess.
Senior sister's hair was fluttering in the air like a symphony of death, yet her angelic face remained as calm as the moon in the sky.
Senior sister's lips were slowly getting closer to the side of the young man's ear. In this place, where the plane was constantly breaking into pieces, where they were surrounded by bottomless sky, the place which might become their final resting ground, senior sister said this:
"I like you."
"Eh?!?!?!?!" At this moment, the expression of the young man who was falling along with senior sister was frozen stiff, his time stopped.

"If I don't say it now, I'm afraid there isn't any chance left…"
"You are the one who always peeks at me right? I like boys like that, very much so… It was me who arranged to go on this trip with you… I'm sorry, I didn't expect it'll become like this…"
"I was originally thinking… to offer myself to you in a love hotel at Kyoto…"
The last few seconds of the crumbling plane felt like eternity for the young man!
Senior sister likes me?!
Is this real?
The senior sister who he was secretly in love with, was also interested in him?
Even to the point of offering herself?
Is this for real? Or could he already be in heaven?
However, senior sister's warmth and quickened pulse were continuously transmitted to his desperate face!
"Are you embracing me in order to protect me in my final moment? To give me a one in a thousand opportunity to live?"
"No! It should be me who is protecting you!"
"It should be me who should sacrifice myself to protect the girl I love!!!"
Senior sister and the young man were unable to resist the pull of gravity and were thrown out of the crumbling plane. However, they were still in each others' embrace. They were blown towards the beautiful evening sky, and below them was the boundless ocean!
Right now, they had already left the scope of the black cloud. The distant sun was already emitting a gentle and beautiful light ray. However, none of this registered to the boy and the girl, as they were falling towards their doomsday!
However, this doomsday was rather beautiful…
The boy and the girl were no longer dominated by fear. Rather, they were embracing and looking at each other in close proximity. Even though their hair was fluttering wildly, their expression was pure and tranquil. The young girl's loving eyes were filled with endless affection. However, in the end, as her eyebrows bent, glistening teardrops flowed out from the corner of her eyes.
Her red lips opened for one last time, and this time, the two of them were about to drop into the ocean, their consciousness on the verge of fading out. They were almost unable to hear the sound of each other anymore.
"Keep on living."
The young girl used her feeble and gentle voice to say this.
The warmth of a next-door neighbor could be felt on top of this ocean. That was every bit of warmth the girl had for the boy.
No! No!! No—!!!
"What do you mean keep on living! The both of us will survive!!! If not! Let me be the one who die!!! You must live on!"
The young man also lost his consciousness in the end, but even until the last moment, he and his senior sister never let go of each other. No matter what was waiting for them down there in the bottomless abyss, they never separated.

Kyoto?? Not Tokyo? I'm pretty sure they were on their way to the (modern day) Japanese capital city.
Silva says:
Pretty sure it mentioned Kyoto in the raw though…
Faust voncleave says:
And even then he didn't confess -_-
well, what do you expect him to say in that kind of situation?
"Me too! I love you too!!"
Nay, even I couldn't do something like that. If someone I love suddenly confessed to me, in that kind of situation no less, my mind would probably go blank and couldn't think of anything else…

That's human for ya

Well they both got there wish kinda. Her body and his soul survived and united as one. Not exactly the union she had been hoping for but take what you can get …
Bear with it!
That's what I was thinking… But no…
This is sad indeed
G'reth says:
I knew the plane was going to crash! The confession was completely out of the blue, though
Yea, didn't expect the senior sister was so "daring"

A federal judge overseeing hundreds of Monsanto Roundup lawsuits has canceled an upcoming bellwether trial and ordered the parties to confidential mediation.
U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria of the Northern District of California is presiding over nearly 800 lawsuits that allege Monsanto's glyphosate-based herbicides caused non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and other cancers. The proceeding's second bellwether trial would have begun on May 22nd.
On Thursday, however, Judge Chhabria indicated he would rather expend resources on organizing the litigation to determine which Monsanto Roundup lawsuits he should dismiss, which he should send to state courts, and which he should remand to the original federal court of filing for trial.
The Court will convene a hearing on May 22nd to address the mediation efforts and possibly set a new trial date for the cancelled case.
Bayer AG, which recently acquired Monsanto for $63 billion, indicated earlier today that it would comply with the mediation order in good faith, but continues to maintain that glyphosate is safe.
"As this litigation is still in the early stages — with only two verdicts and no cases that have run their course through appeal — we will also remain focused on defending the safety of glyphosate-based herbicides in court," the company said.
One legal expert told Bloomberg News that mediation orders aren't unusual in large, complex litigations and cautioned against reading too much into Judge Chhabria' directive. However, he also noted that confidential mediation could allow Bayer to resolve Monsanto Roundup lawsuits without generating the negative publicity that has accompanied two previous verdicts.
Analysts have predicted that a Monsanto Roundup settlement could cost Bayer $5 billion.
Monsanto developed glyphosate in the 1970s. The company's Roundup products and other glyphosate-based weed killers have since become the most popular herbicides in the world.
In March 2015, however, the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) declared glyphosate a probable human carcinogen. The designation came after an independent review suggested occupational exposure increased the risk of cancer, especially non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and its various subtypes.
Monsanto vehemently denied the IARC findings and launched an aggressive campaign to defend glyphosate. Plaintiffs pursuing Monsanto Roundup lawsuits allege the campaign included funding, influencing, and even ghostwriting many of the studies that contradicted the IARC review, as well as leveraging a close relationship with regulators to manipulate their glyphosate investigations.
When it acquired Monsanto, Bayer inherited a massive litigation that currently includes over 13,000 Roundup cancer lawsuits pending in courts throughout the United States.
A third Monsanto Roundup lawsuit is currently at trial in California's Alameda Superior Court.
