EDITOR‘S NOTE
A
s we come ever so closer to the year 2020, there have been nigh countless changes and noteworthy highs and lows for the industries that run the world. Truly, there is nothing permanent in the world but change, especially with the surge of ground-breaking technology and automations, palm-sized smart gadgets that give you a ton of features and capabilities, and app and software with internet access. Once a thing only conceptualized in works of science-fiction, technology in any form is what more than half of the world’s populace are dependent on. This is most expressly true for the power and water industry. Fortunately for the individuals working in the power industry, there is general stability on the outlook on Europe Middle East and Asia integrated utilities and the unfettered power and gas sector. This means that the inner workings of the power industry have been smooth sailing and are continuing to operate with little to no obstacles in the way to a more efficient, cleaner 2020. Based on research, transmission & distribution, power generation, wastewater and clean water production prices have done nothing but improve. While this is good in and of itself, those at the industry remain cautious about sustainability. The material enhancement in power and water prices ought to benefit power generators and water distributors, primarily the producers of nuclear and hydro energy, which are two highly-priced sources of energy and utilities. Still, despite the efficacy in using them, users 4
2020 Power & Water Industry Outlook must still keep the natural world in mind so as not to infringe upon the notion and trend of sustainability. Politics are also playing a major game in terms of contravening in industry endeavors. The political environment is always a key engine for the sector, but recent alterations to the political landscape in the countries of the world are exacerbating the risk. Of course, no trend is every complete with key risks and opportunities which are waiting to be interacted with. First off, as an opportunity, earnings upside could benefit shareholders rather than debt reduction. Since most corporations in the industry have experienced completion, or at the very least, are in the process to achieving 100% completion on their transformation plans, and growth prospects are more evident, the industry believes that newfound and well-deserving management teams will likely be under pressure to increase shareholder remuneration.
Second, strong investment opportunities will be keeping capital intensity high all while bringing significant technology, country and execution risk. If the sector sees increased shareholder remuneration as a potential risk, they must also recognize that capital intensity remains particularly high for the sector. Lastly, mergers and acquisitions will continue despite whatever change the world and the landscape may bring. Most of the sector’s strategic plans come to an end by Q4 of 2018 or 2019 and establishments have either achieved 100% completion or are about to complete their ambitious transformations. The industry, however, believes that equity market expectations for the main water utilities and electric power players’ upcoming business plans for 2020 and beyond may therefore be too high.

Every Chef and Restaurant Owners in PH should have this Induction Cooker
F
ood is an integral part of Philippine culture but not everyone can cook. It is, however, something we all should learn. We may never be the next Gordon Ramsay or Jaime Oliver, but we should strive to do more than pop a few leftovers in the microwave, cook rice, or fry a couple of eggs. While it is understandable that cooking is neither a walk in the park nor an inviting skill to learn, since it is very technical and mathematical at its core, an induction cooker makes this important life skill safer, easier, and more fun. Usage of induction cookers is slowly on the rise, trailing and catching up to the two most common, widely used tools for cooking: gas cookers and electric cookers. These two have cemented themselves in our food-loving Filipino culture and have distinct advantages over the other. While gas cookers boast even heating across a person’s
10
cookware, electric cookers are easier to clean. The reason why induction cookers have come neck and neck to these two giants is because of the lack of overall difficulty in using it. An induction cooker takes the beautiful things about its gas and electric counterparts—even heating and ease of cleaning— and peppers it with even more advantages. While induction cookers are the up and coming front-runners in the field of cooking, the TOSOT Induction Cooker stands above the rest in terms of number of advancements. It has a simple, slim, elegant design and a long list of features that keep its expert and novice users and their families in mind, making it revolutionary for meal-making and a surefire way to kick off the road to cooking proficiency. You may not cook as well as Gordon Ramsay or Jamie Oliver even with the TOSOT Induction
Cooker, but you definitely will feel like an expert with these five amazing features:
1. It has a beautiful digital display and touch control panel From smartphones to tablets, touchscreen has been the current technological trend so far. Now you can cook with pride, knowing full well that even your induction cooker has a sleek display, user interface, and is smooth to the touch, giving you access to a wide variety of options.
2. It’s resistant to boiling and overheating Using magnetic currents to directly heat pots and pans instead of igniting a fire on the cooktop or turning on the electric stove, the TOSOT Induction Cooker is an overall more efficient tool to use in the kitchen. You can even crank it up and place your skin against it and nothing will happen. But while your skin won’t burn, the pots and pans will be extremely hot. Other induction cookers aren’t so lucky with extremely hot pots and pans. It is unfortunate to see the induction cooker break by the very thing it superheated. Luckily, the TOSOT Induction Cooker is much more resistant, allowing you to cook to your heart’s content.
3. It keeps kids from hurting themselves If you want to teach your kids how to cook, then sadly, the TOSOT Induction Cooker is not the right tool for the job. With its safety features and child lock design, this state of the art induction cooker cannot be tinkered by children. It may not be fun for the kids, but it is definitely fun for you while you cook with confidence knowing that your kids can’t break it or, unlike with other types of cookers, burn the house down.
4. It has presets, so you can live your chef dreams Soup, double stewed soup, porridge, chaffy dish, barbecue, and stir-fry. These six cooking presets allow you to be the experimental chef you have always wanted to be. You can make an entire Christmas feast using only the innovative TOSOT Induction Cooker.
5. You get freebies! Who doesn’t like freebies? When you purchase a TOSOT Induction Cooker, you also get a free stainless steel cooking pot and non-stick frying pan for all your cooking needs. The cooking pot and frying pan is resistant to heat, giving you that added layer of safety and certainty when cooking. This is especially helpful for new restaurant owners. While there are many more useful features, the TOSOT Induction Cooker is perfect for novice and expert chefs, restaurant owners, and home cooks. This induction cooker is a must have, and kitting your kitchen with this beauty is will just kick your culinary adventure into high gear.

As we close in on the year 2020, many individuals in the power and water utilities industry are conducting research and nigh endlessly studying about how they can improve their efficiency, work ethic, output, and overall morale. That having been said, here are their findings and gradually growing trends that are prospected to be realized next year. There are a handful of takeaways that those in the utilities industry have discovered: First, there is general stability on the outlook on Europe, Middle East and Asia integrated utilities and the unfettered power and gas sector. 15
COVER STORY
There is some headroom building up in most ratings in the next two years because corporations have efficaciously decreased if not eliminated the risks of their portfolios to focus on more stable activities. However, this upward trend may fall back depending on the allotment of future capital and ever-increasing political pressure. Second, credit metrics have undergone a drastic improvement. After years of EBITDA decline due to the weedy conditions of the power market, there is a more crystalline path in which growth must follow for 2019-2020. This is further underpropped by increasing water and power prices and the authorizing of new assets and renewables. With stable debt, those at the industry expect improving credit metrics that companies can manage well come the end of the credit cycle. Power and water prices are also skyrocketing, tethered only by political risk. Compared to 2016’s staggering lows, the power prices are leagues above the KPIs. These metrics are a key driver for a significant advance in earnings in the coming two years. Complementary to this, the industry employees and workers also see the local and international governments stepping up and enacting their roles in the context of potential political interference, pressure on supply margins, and the evolution of market design in the EU, including for wastewater, desalination, renewables and nuclear energy. Capital allocation is also a key rating driver. With the water utilities, electricity, and gas industries’ expectations of improving credit metrics and rating headroom, the key risk lies in capital allocation and resource management and delivery in the next two years. The progression of capital apportionment relies on whether financial policies adjust to accommodate more shareholder remuneration; how investments in new technologies and business models develop; and whether mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity accelerates, including sector consolidation and international expansion. Regarding industry trends, the workers remain vigilant as oversupply will prevail in most markets, with energy and water efficiency gains and renewables growth. This is in spite of the fact that the sector fundamentals seem to convalesce. Truly, fast-changing technologies have continued to improve. These have not stopped in becoming an ever-present source of impact and inspiration to sector fundamentals and necessitate market players to adapt swiftly and profoundly. Based on research, transmission & distribution, power generation, wastewater and clean water production prices have done nothing but improve. While this is good in and of itself, those at the industry remain cautious about sustainability. The material enhancement in 18

power and water prices ought to benefit power generators and water distributors, primarily the producers of nuclear and hydro energy, which are two highly-priced sources of energy and utilities. Still, despite the efficacy in using them, users must still keep the natural world in mind so as not to infringe upon the notion and trend of sustainability. Politics are also playing a major game in terms of contravening in industry endeavors. The political environment is always a key engine for the sector, but recent alterations to the political landscape in the countries of the world are exacerbating the risk. For example, decisions such as Brexit, political scrutiny on supply margins, steps the EU has taken in setting new targets for the utility market and modifying the carbon market and water management, and new national utility plans all increase the uncertainty over future risks and opportunities. Opportunities come from the EU’s targets for a greener economy. Asia and Europe recently increased its target for renewables to 32% of the energy mix by 2030—and that is the direction of Europe alone. What about the rest of the world? 30
Of course, no trend is every complete with key risks and opportunities which are waiting to be interacted with. First off, as an opportunity, earnings upside could benefit shareholders rather than debt reduction. Since most corporations in the industry have experienced completion, or at the very least, are in the process to achieving 100% completion on their transformation plans, and growth prospects are more evident, the industry believes that newfound and well-deserving management teams will likely be under pressure to increase shareholder remuneration. Second, strong investment opportunities will be keeping capital intensity high all while bringing significant technology, country and execution risk. If the sector sees increased shareholder remuneration as a potential risk, they must also recognize that capital intensity remains particularly high for the sector. Lastly, mergers and acquisitions will continue despite whatever change the world and the landscape may bring. Most of the sector’s strategic plans come to an end by Q4 of 2018 or 2019 and
establishments have either achieved 100% completion or are about to complete their ambitious transformations. The industry, however, believes that equity market expectations for the main water utilities and electric power players’ upcoming business plans for 2020 and beyond may therefore be too high. With these trends, the studies and in-depth dives about power trends of 2017 up until this year, all the companies, organizations, and corporations in the power, gas, and utilities industry and sector must thusly make the right decisions in order to be more efficient and create smoother output, especially in empowering and fuelling vehicles, machines, households, and more, come the next year. -end-

China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) Signed the Largest Nuclear Power Contract in Europe
C
hina National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) is a nuclear power plant constructor and operator specializing in nuclear defense, nuclear power, nuclear fuels and nuclear technologies. According to CNNC, the installation of the Heart for International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), an international big science project only second to the International Space Station (ISS) in terms of scale, is being launched in Beijing, China. Under common witness of CNNC President Yu Jianfeng and the Director Luo Delong of China International Nuclear Fusion Energy Program Execution Center, ITER’s Secretary-General Bernard Bigot officially signed ITER-TAC1 with Sino-French Consortium led by CNNC on behalf of ITER. ITER-TAC1 is the largest nuclear power project contract won by Chinese enterprises in the European market, as well as CNNC’s participation in international big science projects in the form of general contracting for the first time. Its signing reflects CNNC’s implementation of the “Belt and Road” Initiative, meaning that the general contracting capacities gained by China during more than 30 years of constant engagement in nuclear power construction and its fusion technology accumulation and international influence over 50 years have been recognized by the international high-end nuclear power market. “This is an important contract for ITER,” Bigot said. “We have carefully prepared more than 1,200 design packages for the mechanical installation of major parts for ITER and also designed the assembly sequence; we’re very glad that we have secured high-quality energetic partners to finish this work. We’re looking forward to cooperating with internationally renowned industry experts and installing one of the world’s most challenging, promising and important scientific devices as re34
quired within the stipulated time.” TAC1 involves the most critical installation project of ITER’s Tokamak Device; resembling the reactor to a nuclear power plant and the heart to a human being, it governs the installation of Dewar structure, as well as the installation of all systems between Dewar structure and vacuum container. Nuclear fusion is considered as an ideal source to bring human beings out of future energy dilemmas. In the face of “Three-New (new material, new technology and new process) Projects,” the Sino-French Consortium will join hands in strength to spare no efforts for the sustainable development of global energy. CNNC took the lead to form the Sino-French Consortium together with the Institute of Plasma Physics Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese Nuclear Industry 23 Construction Co., Ltd., CNNC Southwestern Institute of Physics and Framatome from France, which then officially won ITER-TAC1 in France in the form of general contracting. At present, Sino-French Consortium’s TAC1 preparatory team has finished the preparatory work of Project Duty Book and Project Outline and is planning to reside in France to engage in preliminary work.

Ten Innovativev Solutions of Social Incubator Program in Abu Dhabi Rewarded AED 4.4 Million Investment to Support People of Determination Ma’an announced today the ten winning teams in the first cycle of the Ma’an Social Incubator program. Ma’an is part of the ‘Ghadan 21’ accelerated development programme designed to spur diversity and growth in Abu Dhabi’s economy to make it one of the best places in the world to do business, invest, live, work and visit. The winning projects include a mobile app that helps convert text to sign language and another that helps people with visual impairments to navigate their surroundings through sensors and visual recognition. Among the winners of this year’s edition, six teams were local, while four teams were international. The event this morning announcing the ten winning projects was attended by His Excellency Sheikh Abdulla Bin Mohamed Al Hamed, Chairman of Department of Health; His Excellency Dr. Mugheer Khamis Al Khaili, Chairman of the Department of Community Development; His Excellency Abdullah Abdulali 58
Al Humaidan, Secretary General of Zayed Higher Organization for People of Determination; His Excellency Hamad Al Dhaheri, Director General of the Social Support Authority; and Her Excellency Salama Al Amimi, Director General, Authority of Social Contribution - Ma’an. The Ma’an Social Incubator program is the first of its kind in the region, with each of the ten teams eligible to receive funding up to AED 200,000 released at every successful milestone the participant reaches, as well as support for living and housing expenses for non-residents of Abu Dhabi. The program aims to support and develop innovative social concepts and start-up projects so they may become social institutions or civil facilities with an active role in helping people of determination in facing challenges in their communities, offering them solutions that improve their quality of life and achieve their ambitions. The Ma’an Social Incubator program also provides the necessary and specialized support needed
for these projects to be sustainable, offering the guidance and tools needed for growth, including financial and moral support, as well as office space, business expertise and access to possible investors. Since launching the program in May earlier this year, 130 ventures applied for the Ma’an Social Incubator program from as far afield as Brazil, Denmark, France, Nigeria and India. Later in August, a shortlist of 25 nominated teams were invited to pitch their solutions before a panel who came together to decide on the final ten winning teams. The teams will have the opportunity to test their social start-up ideas and gain an in-depth understanding of the market, in addition to attending a series of plenary workshops and receiving mentor advice that will help them develop their idea into a product or service, beginning in September and continuing for 16 weeks. Ma’an was established in February 2019 by the Department of Community Development in Abu Dhabi with the aim of bringing together the government, the private sector and civil society to support a culture of social contribution and participation. The authority will deliver solutions for social challenges with four main pillars of work – a Social Investment Fund, a Social Incubator Program, Community Engagement Programs and the introduction of a new type of public contracting, Social Impact Bonds. Ma’an seeks to reinforce the culture of giving in Abu Dhabi, and establish the volunteering needs of the community, aiming to make us of the currently available social volunteering opportunities and initiatives, as well as contribute by generating new opportunities. Her Excellency Ms. Salama Al Ameemi, Director General of Ma’an said: “We are absolutely delighted with the incredibly innovative ten solutions that have been awarded a place in the Ma’an Social Incubator program, and are now fully focused on helping the entrepreneurs to make their dream become a reality. “These social start-ups will contribute towards establishing sustainable social solutions for people of determination and raising their standard of living in Abu Dhabi and the UAE in general,
with an ambition for global impact in the future. This is a hugely important phase in our first incubator program, and we are very much looking forward to working with the committed and passionate people leading each of the start-ups, making their concepts and projects a reality.” The program offers unique and valuable networking opportunities for the teams to build relationships with individuals outside of the program, including investors, third sector leaders, industry figures, and decision makers in specialized fields regionally and internationally. Ma’an will also host ‘demo days’ to present the concepts of the ten winning team organised for review and evaluation, as well as to leverage funding from investors.
The 10 successful start-ups are: 1. Accessible Ad: Platform for information, expertise, training and support to ensure effective accessibility for People of Determination in Abu Dhabi 2. The Butterfly Foundation: Advocacy agency to bring support and empowerment in the hands of People of Determination in Abu Dhabi 3.

12V Waterproof Actuator One of the distinctive advantages of the waterproof linear actuators is undoubtedly their simple design
increases the resistance of the product to disadvantageous factors. Waterproof electric linear actuators of Progressive Automations manufacturer can be used for the various types of sea works. This can be a shipbuilding industry where this technology may come in handy for the construction of automated boat hatches that of military submarines where they can be responsible for the pressure control which is essential for the submarines’ operability. There are three basic types of water protection: • IP54 – provides protection against water splashes penetration from all sides; • IP65 – prevents the penetration of water flows inside the case at any possible angle; • IP67 – with such protection the device is capable to function when fully submerged under the water.
E
lectric linear actuators are the mechanisms, the core task of which is the transfer of force from the control device to the executive one. Linear actuators vary in the way they transfer their energy. At the same time, the object controlled can be driven by a rotational or linear motion action. One of the distinctive advantages of the waterproof linear actuators is undoubtedly their simple design. Due to this, actuators have an impressively long-lasting life service, in addition, they do not require regular maintenance and are unpretentious to the conditions. Simple execution allows using devices even in unfavorable climatic conditions. Depending on the manufacturer, models may have additional protection that
66
For example, PA-06 linear actuator model of Progressive Automations has the IP67 water protection meaning that this device is really capable to function even when fully submerged into the water and even when being at a significant depth. The minimum technical specifications of such waterproof electric linear actuator are the following: stroke – 2 inches, force – 22 Ibs, speed – 1.38 inches/sec, whereas the maximum technical specifications are like this: stroke – 24 inches, force – 180 Ibs, speed – 0.47 inches/sec. Customers can choose technical specifications so that they could adjust their waterproof linear actuators according to the needs of performance wanted. The PA-06 electric linear actuator of Progressive Automations is capable of working under the harshest conditions and withstand water, and other potentially unwanted liquids, however for short periods of time. This high-rated quality makes this kind of electric linear actuators to be the most popular choice for marine engineering. Such actuators
are capable to work within -20 to +60 °C temperature window. The warranty covering this electric actuator lasts for 18 months since the purchase. This linear actuator is mounted with the help of BRK-06 mounting brackets that make the installation process extremely easy. Furthermore, this kind of electric actuators is compatible with a whole range of control systems and control boxes transforming the operation process into a pleasure. Control boxes allow installing electric linear actuators of high water protection merely everywhere if dimensions are suitable for their installation. Actuators of Progressive Automations all-thetime provide the most effective performance while at the same time they are always reliable. These actuators can easily undergo
the most terrific weather conditions and prove themselves to be the best solution where other alike technologies feel themselves uncomfortable and present poor performance. During long-lasting periods of work under heavy workloads such actuators of Progressive Automations show the highest resistance towards harsh environment conditions. Such type of electric linear actuators can be easily adjusted for various types of work more or less associated with serious humidity and marine implementation. Preferring the waterproof actuators of Progressive Automations customers make their investment into the qualitative and long-lasting technology that will fully justify their expectations.

Is Your Cyber Prevention Plan Up To Date?
C
yber defences need continuous development. Even the latest cyber protection strategies will have limited lifespans, and cyberprotection obsolescence is a common issue when it comes to protecting a business. The latest updates to your malware and password protection systems will not remain effective if they are not regularly checked to make sure that they remain up to date, and able to tackle the latest cybercrime trends. With new threats emerging regularly, keeping one step ahead of cybercriminals means ensuring that your cyber defenses are as up to date as possible, and that means being aware of the latest
70
threats and how to protect your business from them.
Team Awareness The weakest point of any defence strategy is always going to be people. That’s why you need to ensure that you develop a strong culture of security within your business. Enforcing a solid and robust security process is vital if you want to keep your customers, staff, and business safe. Make sure that your team is aware of: • Your defense architecture • Security protocols • Basic security standards Keep these measures updated, and you will be better able to
protect yourself from threat. Updated Software and Hardware Hackers are always looking for an exploitable weakness that they can make use of. That’s why you need to keep your software and hardware updated as much as possible. Those updates are generally designed to deal with specific new threats, so failing to update means that you are exposed to unnecessary risk. Endpoint management is being used by more companies than ever, as it allows for faster recognition of threats from a zero-day standpoint. Cost-effective and automated endpoint management using recognized tools like McAfee can go a long way to keeping your business safer.
Protecting Code
Network Monitoring
Open source code is fast becoming a necessity. This is because demands on developers are too fast for software development to keep up with. Unfortunately, open-source code comes with a variety of challenges in terms of both security and compliance. If your business makes use of open source code, then you need to make certain that you have the available resources and manpower needed to review that code for bugs, licensing issues, and security risks. Failing to do so means exposing yourself to the potential harm caused by allowing malicious actors into your software.
All of the data that your company processes needs to be stringently monitored at all times. It is only through regular monitoring that you will be able to identify the procedures and patterns of safe behavior. This monitoring can be automated with a Security Information and Event management system, but the human element of this monitoring should not be overlooked. Privilege management in terms of access to data is a key element of network monitoring, so segmentation of those privileges is not just an option to consider but a vital necessity in the digital age.
There are just as many ways to protect a business as there are to cause it harm. This means ensuring that your security processes are as tight as possible and get ongoing evaluations. When hackers take advantage of both technological and human weaknesses to gain access to the inner workings of a business, the consequences can be devastating.

Food for Thought: These Foods Will Keep You More Focused and Alert at Work The average workday doesn’t just start at 8 and end at 5. It starts long before that with waking up, getting ready, getting out the door, commuting and then it ends in reverse. Staying sharp and focused can be a real struggle for many people, especially engineers. In this article, we’ll show you how to keep your edge all day long no matter what profession you’re in.
Start the Day off Right This does not mean the sugar-laden coffee drinks or the donut cart at the office. It means high protein and nutrient-loaded. Even if you have to grab-and-go something, make it something real and not processed. Eggs, even hard-boiled, are a fast, portable way to get charged without an eventual crash. Pre-packaged portions of cheese are great, too! Keep them in the fridge and grab a few before you head out. Keep some bottled water in there to avoid that detour to the coffee joint. Your brain will thank you later! 74
Mid-Morning Munchies They’re a real thing, aren’t they? Control the urge to reach for yet another cup of coffee and the box of Danish in the breakroom. Keep some nuts or trail mix or some power bars and re-fuel! This is a good time to indulge in some healthy fats like avocados or cheese as well!
Lunch is Not Dinner Whether or not your job requires you to be a desk jockey or a real jockey, lunch isn’t an all-you-can-eat at the trough event. Work potlucks and birthday celebrations can be fun, but they are often heavy on conveniences like chips and dip and greasy, carbohydrate-laden casseroles. Not to mention every kind of cookie and that overly frosted birthday cake. Just remind yourself that getting seconds (or thirds) will leave you hibernating under your desk before you know it! Bring your own food, opting for proteins like chicken, tuna, or even last night’s leftover grilled salmon. Cooking at home using appliances like an electric grill helps to curb the bad fats in your meal and they also taste pretty great too! If you can, sneak away and take a walk outside. Regardless of the weather, a brisk walk to get some fresh air in your lungs can power you through the day!
The Dreaded Slump Here you are at 3 PM with two hours to go and everything on your desk reads like a foreign language. Resist the temptation to spike your

blood sugar with candy bars and soda and take this opportunity to breathe deeply, stretch, take a quick stroll if you can. If that doesn’t perk you up, grab the kinds of snacks that will keep you alert without the inevitable crash of processed foods and beverages. Cubes of cheese and salami, celery or apples with peanut butter, raw carrots or other veggies, or a handful of berries will keep the Munchie Monster away until your great escape at workday’s end. 78
However, if you must treat yourself, a small microwave bag of popcorn will do in a pinch. So will a few squares of dark chocolate (70 to 85% cocoa). In fact, studies prove that not only does high-quality dark chocolate do wonders for your brain, but dark chocolate has been proven to improve memory and cognitive skills. It’s a win-win, not only for your focus but your attitude – which your coworkers will appreciate!
To Sum Up Regardless of your career ‘lifestyle’, it’s important to be mindful of what you are eating and drinking throughout the workday. Whether you sit at a desk or behind the wheel, work can be stressful. Coworkers can be stressful. But fueling your body with the right foods can keep you performing like the Rockstar your boss thinks you are!
