In Japanese culinary culture, every material is best when served fresh, and at its freshest when served raw.

This summer holiday, Yin Run Jin Jiang Castle Hotel, located in Anji county, the heart of China’s bamboo country, is rolling out its Japanese Food Festival, serving food aficionados the best that Japanese cuisine can offer.

5 Ways to Craft a Compelling Media Pitch
NEW YORK, /PRNewswire/ — Generating press coverage can be a challenge for most business owners – big and small. With a flooded media landscape, how can you connect with the journalists who matter in your market and ensure your pitches are being received and actually read?
Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110831/NY59180LOGO
Humbert Luna, media strategist at Emerging Insider Communications, understands this unique challenge. In his latest post on PR Newswire’s Small Business PR Toolkit, he offers five strategies on how best to conduct your outreach.
Research. Luna suggests you should start local with your approach in order to determine who you want to pitch and why. Read publications and watch shows that you would want to be featured on and ensure you are compiling a media list that includes all relevant contact information that you’ve uncovered in your research.
Commonality. Try to glean insights on each of the reporters you are researching and include those tidbits in your pitch if applicable. These insights may help you grab the reporter’s attention, which in turn could lead to media coverage.
Why me? When crafting your pitch, keep in mind the reporter that you are addressing and their intended audience. Tailor your message to the specific journalist and lead in with the “why” to demonstrate you understand their outlet and what they cover. This may lead to your pitch standing out amongst the crowd.

Mundipharma and Economic Intelligence Unit Study Shines the Spotlight on Efficacy and Gaps in Asia’s National Cancer Control Plans
 |
SINGAPORE /PRNewswire/ — Governments in Asia are finding it to be an increasingly difficult challenge to keep cancer at bay. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) projects that incidence of cancer in the region will rise by approximately 75% between 2008 and 2030, and mortality will increase at a slightly faster rate[1].
The surge of cancer diagnosis in Asia is pushing governments to address the growing challenge through national cancer control plans (NCCPs) and placing increased stress on healthcare systems.
The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), in collaboration with Mundipharma, a pharmaceutical leader in pain management, assessed the extent and efficacy of such plans in the region from both developed and developing countries in a detailed report, Controlling cancer: The state of national cancer control plans in Asia.
The Mundipharma-sponsored EIU study summarized qualitative data collected from 10 Asian countries[2] and examined the nature of the challenge cancer represented to governments and healthcare systems. Several outstanding trends of increasing cancer rates were highlighted:
- In developed countries, cancer is a leading killer and in developing ones it is catching up at an alarming rate
- Population ageing, lifestyle choices, environmental pollution and ongoing infectious diseases were the main culprits of increased cancer rates
- Population ageing: As population ages further, the number of cancer cases doctors face increase
- Lifestyle choices: A combination of tobacco intake, dietary change and decreased physical activity has raised obesity rates, leading to marked rises in cancer risks
- Environmental pollution: Air and water pollution in countries with rapidly growing economies are exacting an increased cancer burden
- Ongoing infectious diseases: High rates of hepatitis in the region help explain widespread incidence of liver cancer in many of the countries, as well as human papillomaviruses being the leading cause of cervical cancer
- The three countries most successful at fighting cancer are the wealthiest
The report also called out distinct NCCP efforts in each country and outcomes of such programmes, and identified areas governments could direct their attention to in improving cancer control plans.
- A need for a more holistic approach to cancer care: Besides Australia and Malaysia, most countries in the study fall short in some way to provide comprehensive services across the entire range of cancer control
- A need to engage more with those outside the healthcare system: Apart from Taiwan and Myanmar, most countries/regions in the study do not engage a wider range of stakeholders into the battle and convince the general population to the idea of modern cancer control
Notably, an examination of palliative care in the region proved to be an area where most countries are unable to properly integrate into their NCCPs. Australia and Malaysia were identified as the only countries involved in the study with substantial palliative care systems. In an earlier report also sponsored by Mundipharma, data highlighted the need to develop more effective pain management practices that will require collaborative efforts from institutional, social and regulatory organisations[3].
Raman Singh, President, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East, and Africa, Mundipharma, commented:“Controlling cancer: The state of national cancer control plans in Asia has provided us with a clear dissection of each country’s efforts to address the challenge that cancer poses in the region and plays an excellent guide to enable healthcare sectors with the ability to identify areas of improvement. At Mundipharma, we strongly advocate the importance and availability of pain management as part of palliative care and we consider it to be our responsibility to ensure that patients get the best possible opportunity to treat pain effectively.”
Mundipharma continues to invest in stakeholder education through diverse informational programs, including their regional Pain Forums, PainFocus website, an educational online portal for healthcare professionals and patients, as well as their Pain Assessment via Pain Scale initiatives such as Pain Stethoscope.

Product Differentiation Crucial to Tap North American Hosted IP Telephony and UCC Services MarketProduct Differentiation Crucial to Tap North American Hosted IP Telephony and UCC Services Market
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., /PRNewswire/ — The North American hosted Internet Protocol (IP) telephony and unified communications and collaboration (UCC) services market is undergoing major changes as it transitions from the early-adopter to mass-adoption stage. Growth rates are accelerating due to an increase in customer awareness of cloud communications benefits. Greater scrutiny of service quality and reliability is compelling providers to differentiate through innovative features and to scout for mergers and acquisitions in order to gain efficiencies and achieve economies of scale.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Analysis of the North American Hosted IP Telephony and UCC Services Market (https://www.frost.com/nf14), finds that the market reached 8 million installed users in 2014 and estimates this to reach 41.9 million installed users by 2021.
For complimentary access to more information on this research, please visit: http://bit.ly/1SMVQ75
Small and medium businesses (SMBs) will account for the majority of installed users and a considerable portion of new users for these flexible, economical outsourced communications solutions. Larger distributed organizations looking to consolidate communications infrastructure, optimize IT operations, and cost-efficiently manage remote and mobile worker communications will follow suit, contributing to a growing percentage of users.
“Budget and resource constraints, as well as the appeal of faster access to advanced features, and the ability to supplement limited in-house IT staff, are lending momentum to hosted services among SMBs,” said Frost & Sullivan Unified Communications & Collaboration Program Director Elka Popova. “Among larger distributed organizations, concerted service provider efforts, in addition to maturing technologies and business models, will drive adoption.”
Rapid penetration of hosted services among larger businesses, which require more advanced features and typically engage for a longer term, will help propel profitability in the North American IP telephony and UCC services space. The market will receive an additional boost as vendors with a differentiated value proposition target new customer segments.
Despite this large-scale shift to the cloud, control and security will remain key customer concerns. Apprehensions surrounding reliability, customization, and integration often tip the scales in favor of premises-based deployments. Furthermore, new business models in the premises-based solutions domain, including subscription-based pricing and fully managed solutions, entice customers to retain or upgrade existing on-premises investments rather than opt for hosted solutions.
“Going beyond features and functionality, service providers must offer strong customer onboarding, consistent support, a balanced mix of automated sales and consultation, as well as efficient service provisioning and upgrades,” urged Frost & Sullivan Unified Communications & Collaboration Program Manager Robert Arnold. “With entrants vying for market share and many participants joining forces through mergers and acquisitions, vendors must align their growth objectives with market needs, portfolio capabilities, and marketing approaches to carve their place in the still-untapped North American market.”
Analysis of the North American Hosted IP Telephony and UCC Services Market is part of the Enterprise Communications (http://www.enterprisecommunications.frost.com) Growth Partnership Service program. Frost & Sullivan’s related studies include: Global Enterprise Communications Platforms and Endpoints Market, Partner Growth Opportunities in the Evolving UC Market, and Regional Growth Opportunities for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Phones. All studies included in subscriptions provide detailed market opportunities and industry trends evaluated following extensive interviews with market participants.

American Companies Commemorate Singapore’s History and Offer Shared Vision for the Future
SINGAPORE /PRNewswire/ — The American Chamber of Commerce in Singapore (AmCham) celebrates Singapore’s 50th anniversary today by launching a commemorative report, Reflections: Perspectives from the American Business Community. Reflections describes AmCham members’ contributions to the development of Singapore and presents their insights on the business outlook for the coming decade. Based on interviews with senior executives and a special SG50 membership survey, the report highlights the American business community’s commitment to Singapore and optimism about their future here.
“The thousands of American companies operating in Singapore employ tens of thousands of Singaporeans,” stated AmCham Executive Director Judith Fergin. “Significant numbers of Singaporeans occupy senior positions in member companies’ operations in Singapore and abroad. Reflections documents that AmCham members expect their Singapore workforce to grow in line with their rising investment.”
The United States is Singapore’s largest source of foreign direct investment with over US$154 billion invested. The first wave of American companies arrived in Singapore more than 100 years ago; the favorable business climate has supported growth in the number of American companies and amount of investment to today’s significant levels. Survey respondents cite the ease of conducting business, stable political environment, and sound infrastructure as the top three advantages of investing in Singapore.
Over 60 percent of survey respondents expect their company’s investment here to grow over the next ten years. Over 70 percent of respondent companies have made Singapore their regional headquarters and still more useSingapore as a regional hub for at least some of the their business line. Many of those that have not already located headquarters here anticipate that their company will move their regional offices to Singapore by 2025.
While respondents and interviewees are overwhelmingly positive about Singapore’s future, they pointed to cost and labor availability as potential brakes on growth.
“Ultimately, it is value that matters to companies. A highly productive employee is a great investment in competitiveness,” said Fergin. “Everyone — companies, employees, and the government — needs to work together to ensure that we can continue to create that value.”
She added, “Many American investments in Singapore are intellectual property-intensive, high technology-generating, and customer service-centric. We want to work with Singapore’s government and educational institutions to help ensure that the workforce’s knowledge and skills match anticipated demand.”
