Self V – Survivor Stories, is a unique initiative, whereby a cancer survivor will take a self video of up to 60 seconds of their story of fight and triumph over cancer. These survivor stories will be a beacon of hope for many patients fighting cancer now.  They would also encourage people who have overcome cancer and fighting cancer now to come forward & tell their stories.

With this, the survivors are trying to create awareness on cancer and encourage other cancer survivors to share their survivor story, by uploading a 60 second video on facebook.com/hcghospitals.

Survivors will become winners now through a contest period of 45 days. The best Self V will win awards ranging from Harley Davidson Superbike, LED TV, International Holidays, Smart Phone, to designer merchandise.

Mr. Chandrashekar, K B, Father of Divya, 12 year old, diagnosed with Germ Cell Tumor of the Ovaries, said, “It was hard to believe, when we came to know, Divya was diagnosed with cancer, but doctors instilled confidence in us by saying it is treatable. She has survived this . Post treatment she is strong and started going to school as any other normal kid.”

Vandana Ramnane, Breast Cancer Survivor, said, “Fighting cancer is a battle and one needs to be positive. I thrived after my problems and today I’m a winner, celebrating cancer survivor’s day.  Awareness is the key, more survivors speak about the disease, it instills confidence in thousands of cancer patients, that there is a life after cancer and it can be managed.”

Amar Bhaskar, Cancer Survivor, said, “The battle against cancer was a life changing experience and feels great to have triumphed over cancer. With a new lease of life, I would like to help other cancer patients to succeed by sharing my story of fight & triumph.”

A Dream Come True: 6 Young People from Bangalore to Showcase their Skills at the FIFA Football for Hope Festival in Brazil 2014
 
Bangalore, Karnataka, India

BWI: Singapore’s Expanding Food Manufacturing Industry Attracts New Players: AsiaBiz Services

Singapore's Expanding Food Manufacturing Industry Attracts New Players: AsiaBiz Services
 
Singapore
Japanese food group RE&S Enterprises opens its new headquarters in Singapore last week. AsiaBiz Services points to the growing trend of international food manufacturing businesses setting up in Singapore.
 

 RE&S Enterprises, a Japanese food group has opened a new $30 million headquarters in Singapore last week. AsiaBiz Services, Singapore’s leading company formation consultancy, identified the inauguration as part of the growing trend of international food manufacturing businesses setting up in Singapore. The main reasons ascribed to this trend were the nation’s governmental support and its impeccable reputation as a regional food hub.
 
The Japanese company, which already has 60 specialty Japanese restaurants in Singapore, aims to use the headquarters as a launchpad to grow their customer base and revenue to $500 million by 2018. The opening of the 100,000 square feet facility underlines the recent growth of the food manufacturing industry in Singapore.
 
In January earlier this year, the first automated food chiller for storing wholesale foods was unveiled in Singapore. The launch of the 12-storey-high facility was accompanied by the announcement to transform Singapore into a regional food manufacturing powerhouse, by allowing for more transshipment contracts for local food manufacturing companies. Even more recently, Singapore hosted the Food and Hotel Asia trade show last month that attracted approximately 3,000 food and beverage (F&B) companies from 64 countries. The trade show also hosted the first-ever networking dinner during which more than 700 meetings between buyers and food manufacturers were matched and scheduled. These companies explored setting up a business in Singapore to access the Asian consumer base because the Republic’s food manufacturing sector had exhibited robust growth potential in regional markets.
 
F&B exports from Singapore have enjoyed an average growth rate of 8% over the last five years. Last year alone, Singapore raked in $7.1 billion in F&B exports from approximately 1,100 food manufacturing businesses operating here. This is because food products originating from Singapore are subject to high demand from all over the world.
 
FOOD SAFETY AND QUALITY STANDARDS

Such high international demand for Singapore’s food products is attributed to the country’s stellar reputation for food safety and quality. Food products from Singapore are regarded to be of high quality and reliability because of the city-state’s strict adherence to food manufacturing, preparation and packaging standards, such as the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), ISO 22000 and BRC Global Standard for Food Safety. These food safety and quality standards are implemented as part of the Sale of Food Act that is enforced by the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA). This law ensures the safety and quality of food products, and regulates food handling and processing practices in food establishments.
 
One example of such food standards is the Halal certification in Singapore. As a nation in the Malay Archipelago, Singapore’s reputable Halal-certified system boosts the appeal of its F&B exports in neighbouring nations such as Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia. As of last September, the Halal Certificate mark of Singapore’s food products have also been recognised and accepted by the Gulf Cooperation Council for the Arab States of Gulf.
 
Such stringent quality and safety accreditations contribute to consumers’ peace of mind and enables Singapore to attract global food companies to its shores. Tesco, Sainsbury’s Supermarkets and Whole Foods Market are some examples of such companies that have set up in Singapore to collaborate with local counterparts as contract food manufacturers. Such collaborations are also assisted by SPRING Singapore, the nation’s enterprise development agency that liaises with partner agencies to stimulate the growth of Singapore’s food manufacturing industry.
 
STRONG INDUSTRY PROMOTION

These partner agencies include the Singapore Food Manufacturers’ Association (SFMA) and Singapore Manufacturers’ Federation (SMF). The SMF also consists of the F&B Industry Group, which actively promotes F&B businesses in Singapore and overseas by organising networking meetings, trade missions and fairs.
 
In addition, food manufacturing companies established in Singapore also receive support from SPRING Singapore to develop their businesses with the help of the capability development programmes. These programmes assist local food manufacturers to enhance their technology, innovation and branding among other areas to help them become competitively viable.
 
“Singapore’s food manufacturing industry has grown to become a significant constituent of the economy. The nation is strategically situated at the crossroads of the east-west trading routes, boasts a seven-hour flight radius to fast-growing Asian markets, and has state-of-the-art infrastructure. AsiaBiz Services strongly believes that all these attributes will make it easier for food manufacturers to start a company in Singapore”, said Mr. James Nuben, Head of Taxation at AsiaBiz Services.
 
ABOUT ASIABIZ SERVICES

AsiaBiz Services is a Singapore-based consultancy that offers business solutions for both local and foreign professionals, investors and entrepreneurs. Our areas of expertise include company incorporation, offshore company setup, accounting, taxation and other related corporate services. AsiaBiz Services also provides work visa and immigration services for professionals wishing to relocate to Singapore.

सबसे संपूर्ण एनओएसक्यूएल डाटाबेस प्रदाता काउचबेस इंक (Couchbase, Inc.) ने काउचबेस मोबाइल जारी किया है। यह उत्पादों की एक नई श्रृंखला है जो मोबाइल एपलीकेशन के क्षेत्र में क्रांति ला देगी। काउचबेस मोबाइल नेटवर्क कनेक्शन की आवश्यकता को एक सीमा के रूप में खत्म कर देता है। और इसके लिए विकासकर्ताओं को प्रोडक्टाइज्ड मोबाइल डाटा सिंक्रोनाइजेशन और दुनिया का पहला और एकमात्र नेटिव एम्बेडेड एनओएसक्यूएल मोबाइल डाटा बेस देता है। ये नए उत्पाद मोबाइल एपलीकेशन डेवलपर के लिए शीघ्रता से और आसानी से एप्प्स बनाना संभव करते हैं जो आज के उपयोगकर्ताओं की हमेशा ऑन की अपेक्षाओं की पूर्ति करता है।   

काउचबेस के सीईओ बॉब विन्डरहोल्ड ने कहा, “काउचबेस मोबाइल से हमलोगों ने नए सिरे से कल्पना की कि मोबाइल एपलीकेशन कैसे बनाए जाने चाहिए। अभी तक, मोबाइल एपलीकेशन का निर्माण इस आवश्यकता से किया जाता था कि डाटा को क्लाउड में स्टोर किया जाना चाहिए क्योंकि डाटा को मोबाइल से स्टोर और सिंक करना बहुत मुश्किल रहा है।” उन्होंने आगे कहा,
“काउचबेस मोबाइल इन सभी चीजों को बदल देता है। हमारे मोबाइल उत्पाद डेवलपर्स को वैसी सारी चीजें देते हैं जिसकी आवश्यकता उन्हें हमेशा उपलब्ध, हमेशा प्रतिक्रिया करने वाले एपलीकेशन का विकास मौजूदा समय में लगने वाले समय की तुलना में बहुत कम समय में करने के लिए  होती है। काउचबेस मोबाइल के साथ नेटवर्क एपलीकेशन प्रदर्शन को प्रभावित नहीं करता है। नेटवर्क अनुपलब्ध होने पर भी ऐप्प काम करता है।”     

अगली पीढ़ी के मोबाइल एपलीकेशन को एनैबल करना

मोबाइल एपलीकेशन से अपेक्षा की जाती है कि ये कभी भी, कहीं भी काम करेंगे और इसमें नेटवर्क उपलब्धता की सीमा या डाटा सिंक्रोनाइजेशन को संभव करने के लिए आवश्यक जटिलताओं का कोई मतलब नहीं है। पर मोबाइल ऐप्प के विकासकर्ता उन्हीं ऐप्प्स तक सीमित हैं जिनका निर्माण वे कर सकते हैं क्योंकि चालू मोबाइल डाटाबेस संबंधात्मक हैं और इसलिए आज के मोबाइल उपयोगकर्ता जो भिन्न किस्म के अनस्ट्रक्चर्ड डाटा तैयार करते हैं उनका प्रबंध करने के लिहाज से उपयुक्त नहीं है। इसके अलावा, अनस्ट्रक्चर्ड डाटाके सिंक्रोनाइजेशन के लिए उत्पाद जैसा कोई ऐसा समाधान अस्तित्व में नहीं है जिसे क्लाउड और उपकरण के बीच साझा किया जाता है।
काउचबेस मोबाइल इन सभी चीजों को बदल देता है

काउचबेस मोबाइल एक ऐसा समाधन डिलीवर करता है जो मोबाइल ऐप्प का विकास करने वालों को हमेशा उपलब्ध, हमेशा प्रतिक्रिया करने वाले मोबाइल एपलीकेशन की मांग पूरी करने योग्य बनाएं। काउचबेस मोबाइल में तीन घटक शामिल होते हैं : काउचबेस लाइट, काउचबेस सिंक गेटवे और काउचबेस सर्वर। एक साथ लिया जाए तो ये उत्पाद मोबाइल एपलीकेशन डेवलपर को एक शक्तिशाली नया मंच मुहैया कराते हैं ताकि दुरुस्त, नेटवर्क के लिहाज से स्वतंत्र एपलीकेशन तैयार किए जा सकें।  इससे डाटा सिंक्रोनाइजेशन का प्रबंध करने के लिए आवश्यक कोड का सरलीकरण होगा और टाइम टू मार्केट में अच्छी खासी कमी आएगी।

माइक्रोसॉफ्ट ओपन टेक्नालॉजिज इंक के जॉन उडेल ने कहा, “हम काउचबेस लाइट का स्वागत एक स्मार्ट समाधान के रूप में करते हैं जिससे डाटा सिंक्रोनाइजेशन और इंटरमिटेंट कनेक्टिविटी पर निर्भर करने वाले मोबाइल डेवलपर्स की आवश्यकताओं की पूर्ति हो सकती है। उन्होंने आगे कहा, “हमलोग थाली में काउचबेल लाइट का उपयोग करते रहे हैं। यह एक प्रयोग है जो ओपन सोर्स प्रोटोटाइप के जरिए निश्चित करता है कि वेब को सही अर्थों में पीयर टू पीयर बनाने के लिए क्या कुछ की आवश्यकता होती है। थाली काउचबेस लाइट का प्रयोग अपने डाटा रेप्लीकेशन प्लैटफॉर्म पर एक प्रमुख घटक के रूप में करता है।”
