Aerospace firm to grow after buyout

Posted on by

18 March 2013 Last updated at 14:08 ET

MB Aerospace is to embark on a series of acquisitions after a US private equity firm bought a majority stake in the business.

The Motherwell-based company said it had completed a "secondary" management buyout with Arlington Capital Partners.

Under the terms of the deal, Arlington Capital is taking a majority stake alongside the MB Aerospace management team.

The value of the transaction was not disclosed.

MB Aerospace, which employs more than 100 people in Scotland, focuses on machined and fabricated components for global aerospace and defence manufacturers.

The company, which has manufacturing operations in the UK and the US, said it was in discussions with "a number of acquisition targets" in the United States which would see the group expand considerably from its current turnover of more than $80m (53m).

Chief executive Craig Gallagher, who led the original management buyout of the company from engineering group Motherwell Bridge in 2007, will be chief executive of the enlarged business.

Mr Gallagher said: "This landmark deal represents a great vote of confidence in our US and UK employees and operations, as well as providing the group with significant opportunities for further expansion in the months and years ahead."

MB Aerospace's existing customers include Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, General Electric, Boeing, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Volvo Aerospace.

UN seeks new nutrition strategies to cope with changing diets

Posted on by

New York, Mar 16 : Integrated nutrition strategies are need to help people cope with alterations in their diets prompted by urbanization, economic growth and lifestyle changes in many parts of the world, a United Nations official said Friday.

"We need integrated nutrition strategies, formed with the inputs of society as a whole - the private sector, consumers, doctors, and consumer organizations and others," the Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Jose Graziano da Silva, told professors and students at Wageningen University and Research Centre in the Netherlands.

While 870 million people suffer from hunger, there are also over half a billion who are obese and susceptible to non-communicable diseases. Food alternatives and information on their diets would help address this problem, Graziano da Silva said, adding that a global review of nutrition strategy could, for example, involve rethinking the role of traditional crops, which have lost space in modern diets.

"Every region has a variety of non-commodity crops that were used in the past as food," he said. "One example is quinoa, which is being celebrated in 2013 in an international year." Quinoa is an Andean super food - a highly nutritious, cereal-like crop rich in protein and micronutrients.

During his two-day visit to the Netherlands, Graziano da Silva signed an accord with the University of Wageningen on a closer collaboration on scientific research and joint activities to foster and promote education, research and technology capacities in developing countries over the next four years.

In his talk to students, the FAO chief pointed out that while science and technology drive agricultural productivity, they cannot simply be exported from one country to another and be expected to work perfectly.

"Agriculture is too sensitive and location-specific," he said. "Soil, climate, water availability and so many other factors influence how one technology will work elsewhere."

He also noted the role that farmers play and stressed the importance of consulting them before implementing new technologies.

"We need to ask farmers what they need, what they want, see what could fit, how it needs to be adapted and ensure that whatever we do ends up being 'owned' by the farmers themselves," he added.

Nutrition Isn't All About the Bull's-Eye

Posted on by

It seems like people are always on the hunt for that perfect, "magic" meal plan that will get them to their goal weight. Which foods are "good" and which ones are "bad"? What's the formula for exactly what to eat, how much of it, and when to eat it that will give you the fastest results? When my clients approach me with these requests, my answer is always the same: Just like in a game of darts, nutrition isn't about getting a perfect bull's-eye every time. You get points for just hitting the board, too. In other words, it's not about eating perfectly all the time, every time. It's about your overall habits--getting points on the board. Maybe you get a bull's-eye once in a while, but you didn't fail just because you were a little off target.

Why I Support "Imperfect" Eating

Perfection is subjective, which means it comes from personal perspective, feelings and beliefs, as opposed to an independent, objective point of view. It's different strokes for different folks. We need less judgments about food. We don't feel guilty for breathing, even though we need air to live. So why feel guilty about eating? Seeking perfection can cause you to avoid and miss out on a satisfying food experience. Our health is a collection of choices (and genetics) over a long period of time. A simple choice does not define our overall self-care.

Maybe the more important question is why you're eating something. Overeating foods on a regular basis to regulate your mood and cope with feelings is not normal, but there is help for that habit, which is not about the food. You are not "addicted" to food. It's the "process" that is the problem. Having a piece of cake on someone's birthday (yes, with sugar and fat) is a normal part of life for most people. To each his own if you don't like cake and don't want to eat it. But those of us who do are not less healthy than you.

It's simply unfounded that "fat is gonna harm you" or "sugar is gonna harm you"--in unlimited amounts ANYTHING can harm you, even delicious sunlight or water for that matter. The best tip I can offer is to be careful of what you read. If it sounds alarmist or too crazy to be true, it probably is.

So How Can I Get "Points on the Board"?

1. Instead of trying to build a "perfect" plate, focus on building a balanced plate. Aim to make half your plate fruits and vegetables; a quarter of your plate lean protein (a palm-sized piece of meat, fish or plant-based protein); and a quarter of your plate starch (a fist-sized portion, which could include whole grains).

2. When "indulging," follow the half-plate healthy model. Maybe your mom's legendary mac and cheese is what you really want, so go for it! On the flip-side, that doesn't mean it would be practicing self-care to take the whole tray of mac and cheese and eat it in one sitting. At some point, your fullness goes beyond comfortable. Take a nice portion, equivalent to one or two fists, and then balance it out with half a plate of nutritious steamed veggies or salad. Enjoy it and take your time with it. If it feels uncomfortable to clean your plate, then don't. Know the mac and cheese will still be there tomorrow.

3. Figure out if it's a good time to enjoy _________. Is this a special occasion or a celebratory event? Like I said, enjoying cake at a birthday party is a normal part of life, so don't beat yourself up over it. If it's more of a craving, then ask yourself if it's a good time to enjoy your treat mindfully. If not, you can always have it later, when you have time to enjoy it--maybe even sharing it with a friend.

Perfection isn't realistic or attainable. It can also be deceiving. Many thin people have unhealthy habits, and many larger frame people have very healthy habits. To me, the more important thing is creating healthy habits that can stick with you the rest of your life, and accepting and loving yourself no matter what size you are.

Nutrition program faces cuts

Posted on by

Funding cuts appear imminent for a nutrition program for area seniors as a result of across-the-board budget cuts resulting from the sequestration of federal funds.

The probable cuts come at a time when the nutrition program is rebounding under the guidance of a new program administrator. The program came close to faltering about nine months ago when the Muskogee County Community Action Foundation terminated its contract with Eastern Oklahoma Development Districts Area Agency on Aging.

Ernie Moore, EODD executive director, said state officials estimate the feeding program could see cuts of about 5.9 percent within the next few weeks. The actual impact on the program will not be known until the impact of the sequester is fully understood.

Its hard to do any forecasting very far out because you dont know what is going to happen, Moore said this past week. They were talking about 7.9 percent, now they are talking closer to 5.9 percent. It could be anywhere from 13 percent to 2 percent.

Figures provided by EODD, which administers the grants for the senior nutrition program, show federal funds make up from 55 percent to 59 percent of the programs annual budget. The programs annual budget, including state grants, averaged about $1.41 million during the past three years.

Sharon Elder, Area Agency on Aging director, said the senior nutrition program began to rebound in September under new management. She said meal deliveries have increased, and the number of people eating at congregate locations also is up.

Everybody has been taken off the waiting list we dont have waiting lists anymore, Elder said. While the number of meals fluctuated under MCCAF, we are seeing a steady increase of meals being served now we dont know how these cuts will affect that.

Moore said across-the-board budget cuts predicted as a result of sequestration will impact every aspect of the program. Because the federal fiscal year and the agencys fiscal years do not align the federal fiscal year begins Oct. 1, and EODDs fiscal year, like the state, the counties and most municipalities begin July 1 sequestration will affect the remainder of this year and at least the first three months of next years budget.

As long as they do it this way, its going to affect everything, Moore said. They need to go in with a scalpel, not a machete. Sometimes I really dont think they know who they are hurting.

U.S. Rep. Markwayne Mullin reports about the impact of sequestration that came out before it took effect March 1 were all gloom and doom scenarios. Mullin, a Westville Republican who represents the states 2nd Congressional District, said while he hasnt heard about the impact sequestration might have on nutrition programs, he doesnt expect it will be as harsh as some might expect.

Facebook sweat lodge, the online resurgence of native spirituality

Posted on by

Smudging, sweat lodges, drum songs. If you were to ask most Canadians what comprises indigenous spirituality in this country, those are the images that would likely come to mind.

These are common practices, integral elements of many indigenous cultures that can transcend language and local affiliations.

What's more, they are the ones often relayed to non-native Canadians through mainstream media, largely because they are often the only regular ceremonies that media and spectators in general are allowed to take pictures of though only with an elder's blessing.

Not surprisingly, then, that this is what most people think of when they contemplate "native spirituality."

But that is a much too general term to describe the very different and vibrant beliefs and ceremonies that span this great landscape, and which are now starting to surface again, spurred on by a young, more assertive generation and the investigative tools of social media.

It's common now to see Facebook groups dedicated to the organization of the once-banned sun dances in Western Canada, and even traditional seasonal Anishinaabe ceremonies in the east.

In fact, you might say there is even a sort of spiritual resurgence online, with young indigenous people no longer ashamed of their past, and using social media both to plan ceremonies and events, and mine internet resources to breathe new life into the old ways.

Most Canadians likely aren't aware of many of these older ceremonies, and even indigenous people themselves don't practice them with much continuity or prevalence.

That's because for a long time in Canada, it was forbidden to do so.

In 1876, the federal government passed the Indian Act to give itself exclusive authority over Indians and their lands.
