Marathon man Anderson clinches Wimbledon final spot
After the break, Anderson closed out the match on his serve 26-24, after more than six and a half hours. "For us to be out there for that amount of time, I really hope we can address this", he said. They traded breaks in games five and six in set number four as well and Anderson made one more push to seize another one in game nine, converting his fourth set point a few minutes later to bring the set home on own serve.
Djokovic into Wimbledon semi-finals
Defending champion Federer lost a Court One thriller, 2-6, 6-7 (5-7), 7-5, 6-4, 13-11 as 32-year-old Anderson became the first South African in the Wimbledon semifinals since Kevin Curren in 1983. The Serbian, Djokovic, maintained the dominance he has shown throughout the tournament on his first serve. Eight-time champion Federer has already won more Wimbledon singles titles than any other man, but was aiming to equal Martina Navratilova's all-time record.
Serena Williams earns gritty Wimbledon win against Italian Camila Giorgi

Acts 8:26-40 Psalm 22:24-30 1 John 4:7-21 John 15:1-8
Children's sermon – and for the adults, too
Ask the kids:
Do you have a grapevine in your yard? No? Me, either.
How about grass? Do you have grass? Me, too.
Who cuts it? (ha, ha) That was just for fun.
Today we heard a story from Jesus. Particular type of story called a "parable."
(Here's the bible part:)
This story is the last one in a series of what is called the "I AM" statements. Jesus says: I AM:
The bread of life Chap 6
The light of the world Chaps 8,9
Gate of the sheepfold and the good shepherd Chap 10
The resurrection and the life Chap 11
The way, the truth, and the life Chap 12
The vine Chap 15
All of these statements inform us about:
How God interacts in the world
And with us
A parable can have a simple, literal meaning.
Show them a dead stick and a branch (cut off from the rest of the tree) with leaves.
Talk about the differences between each: which will grow, which will die? Why –
Cut off from the tree/vine
Parables also have deeper meanings. They can get silly if we get too carried away. Let's not try to carry the meaning to a ridiculous place, but let's look at what is possible for our understanding, okay?
Jesus is the vine.
"Apart from me you can do nothing."
The vine does not exist apart from its branches. Apart from God and Jesus Christ we can do nothing. We are meant to be with our Lord, to grow and intertwine and be together, not just as individuals, but as the church. A vine with a single branch is pretty weak. We cut it back at our own peril, but if we leave it alone it is sparse and weak; it stays alone. There is only so much one branch can do. It survives, yet it certainly cannot bring forth a bounty of anything. A single vine is weak.
But the true vine, God in Jesus, cuts back that vine – reach out, God seems to say – reach out to one another. You will bear fruit that way. We are not individual branches, we are the church, and we are meant to be together, to grow together, work together, and work through our faith alongside each other. An intertwined branch is strong – have you ever tried to tear one up? – it stays together pretty well! We are pruned back from our individual "missions" in order to be the church.
Even then, we are but branches; Jesus is the true vine. We, even together, do not exist alone – can do nothing alone; we need God, Jesus the Christ, and the Holy Spirit. "Apart from me you can do nothing." We can grow and be strong for a little while, but it is at our peril that we cut ourselves off from Jesus. We are the church, and we are all about Jesus!
Our gospel becomes one not only about correction, but about connection. What happens to a limb that we cut off? It may live for a little while; even cut flowers give us beauty for a time, but eventually those things that are separated from their life source die. They wither and die. It is then that the branches are gathered together and burned – not because of adversity, but because of detachment, of being totally separated from that which gives us life! And we know that it is Jesus who gives us life, new life, every day.
Let's look at the connections that we have:
Put our names of pieces of brown paper: build a trunk and a tree
Now, let's look at how we grow and the fruit that we bear (we'll use leaves to watch our tree grow and flourish)
Give out leaves. Launch the initiative of our "living, giving tree:"
Full Tummys
CROP walk (do some warm up exercises: bend, stretch, reach toward the sun … grow)
Henrietta Ambulance
Henrietta Fire Company
Gift cards for the hungry
Read the bible
Sunday School
RIT – feed the kids!
Soup kitchen
Scribe (Jeanne Panek)
Adult piece (for kids, too): ABIDE
How do we abide in Christ Jesus? We do our best. We learn from Philip and the Eunuch what perfect abiding looks like, which is the way that Jesus the vine grower abides with us. Here is abiding, love, as told by Ralph Milton:
"May I tell you a story?" Philip asked. Then for an hour or two or three – I have no idea how long – he talked about a man named Jesus – a prophet from a little jerkwater town who seemed to reach out and touch all the hurting people – tax collectors, prostitutes, widows, lepers, foreigners.
"They killed him," said Philip. "They accused him of sedition. He was crucified."
"I'm not surprised." I said. I felt sad. But it was not the end of the story. Not by a long shot.
And so Philip talked some more, about a resurrected Jesus, a Jesus who it turns out is the Messiah – the chosen one Isaiah was talking shout – one who came to save the weak and the lost – the people nobody else cared about.
I asked. "Would Jesus care about me?"
"Of course," said Philip.
"Did you know that I'm a eunuch?"
"I guessed. But why should that make a difference?"
"I'm black. I'm a foreigner. But I am successful, and I am rich."
"That's all obvious," Philip laughed. "But again, why should that make a difference. Jesus loves you. He doesn't care about your genitals, or about your skin color, or about your nationality. Jesus especially doesn't give a hoot if you're rich or successful. Jesus loves you."
It took me almost an hour to stop sobbing. I felt as if a huge, heavy load had been lifted from my shoulders and tossed over onto the roadside. Now I could stop trying harder and harder. I could stop struggling. I was a real person, a real person because I am loved by a real man named Jesus who lived and died and rose again and danced among his people.
We are loved, we are loved, we are loved.
Jesus is the vine, we are the branches. Help us, Lord Jesus, to grow.

As if we needed reminding, this past week has shown that the Islamist threat is a truly global problem. In the space of a few days, Isis claimed responsibility for attacks on London Bridge and Borough Market; and elsewhere, for the attack on the Iranian Parliament and the tomb of Ayatollah Khomeini in Tehran. It would be hard to think of more diverse targets than drinkers at London pubs on a Saturday night and the tomb of the theocratic Shia cleric who inspired the 1979 Iranian revolution. Yet for Isis there is logic. All are enemies: infidels, heretics, apostates.
The Tehran atrocity shows again that what we are witnessing is a civil war within Islam. To the Sunni militant, the enemy could be a girl at a music concert or a worshipper at a Shia mosque. Iran has been more involved than anyone in the Syrian civil war, sending its proxy armies to defend their country's Shia ally in Damascus. The Isis-Iran conflict, the Saudi-Iran dispute and the emerging dispute between Qatar and everybody else goes back to the Shia-Sunni split at the beginning of Islam. As Tom Holland argues in our cover story, the jihadis are motivated by religion — and their war needs to be understood in those terms.
There was a time recently when people hoped that the Middle East would start to look more like Europe: that Turkey was turning European and that history was moving in our direction. It can seem comforting to refer to the Islamic State attackers as 'medieval', as if they are a historical anomaly that cannot survive in the 21st century. But this threat is also very modern.
The fact that this evil should have manifested itself twice in a British election campaign has raised uncomfortable questions for Theresa May. We are told that she was 'shocked' at the failings of MI5, but as Home Secretary for six years she was responsible for the agency, its resourcing and its culture. One of the London Bridge attackers is an Italian national who was on a terror watch-list when he arrived: if British policy allows such people to work here, then Mrs May will have been the one setting this policy.
If there are 20,000 people of interest and MI5 has the resources to keep tabs on 3,000 of them, then it is inevitable people will slip under the radar. The bigger question is whether people who declared their terrorist intent on a Channel 4 documentary ought to have been kept under closer supervision — and, if so, what kind of resources that would require. Another question is how many foreign nationals on terror watch-lists are living here — and ought more to be done to keep an eye on them? This is not about passing new laws, but making better use of old ones.
This was a needless election, intended to be a coronation for the Prime Minister. It turned into a white--knuckle ride at times. Mrs May's weaknesses have been highlighted rather than her strengths, which is unfortunate. It was extraordinary to see her at one point forced on the defensive on security by Jeremy Corbyn. The reason she was able to cut police numbers is that she was so successful in cutting crime; and the police response on London Bridge was rapid and effective. Yet she struggled to make this point.
We have also seen that she struggles to work with her cabinet, keeping them in the dark and instead preferring to rely on the advice of the aides who were with her at the Home Office. The difficulty she has running a larger team has been exposed as her single greatest weakness. It is not like an England cricket captain having a ragbag of players imposed on him by an aloof selectors' committee — a Prime Minister has the sole right to decide whom to appoint to the cabinet, and to which jobs within the cabinet.
The Prime Minister's successes lie in areas that we do not hear much about, one of them being Brexit. On the withdrawal negotiations, at least, she has set out clear para-meters. She has made it clear that Britain will withdraw from the single market and the customs union and instead seek a free trade agreement with the EU, as well as opting into pan-European forms of co-operation on issues such as security. To Jeremy Corbyn's credit, he too resisted the calls from Blair and Mandelson to maintain opposition to Brexit. He could see that the public has largely accepted Brexit.
During the past few weeks, Theresa May tried to campaign without her colleagues — and found herself wanting. She needs them more than she imagined she did. Just as Britain has to rebuild its relationship with the rest of the EU, she will have to rebuild hers with the Conservative party.

Whether a business needs commercial insurance can be affected by many things. Some businesses, such as those that are internet-based, may not need to have an insurance policy. That's especially true if the company is a sole proprietorship and there aren't any employees to cover. If there's just the owner, and no customers come to the location where they could probably get hurt, that Suwanee, GA area business probably doesn't need a commercial insurance policy. But Insurance Pro Group, Inc. can advise you, and let you know whether your business needs that policy or can operate safely without it.
For most businesses, commercial policies are required. They're designed to protect the business, but also to protect any employees or customers who may become injured at the company's location. But not all commercial policies are the same, and just getting one to get your business moving forward isn't going to help you too much. Instead of taking risks by picking a policy you don't know much about, it's better to choose a commercial insurance policy that's right for you. How can you do that? By working with an insurance agency that has knowledgeable agents, and that can give you multiple quotes from different companies.
If you have a business in the Suwanee, GA area and you need a commercial insurance policy or have questions about them, reach out to us at Insurance Pro Group, Inc. We are here and happy to help you find the commercial policy that's going to work for your needs. Since every business is different, you may need different types and levels of coverage. We understand that and will work with you to ensure your insurance needs are met so your business can grow with security.

It is a battle for survival when Norwich host Sunderland in Saturday's English Premier League opener at Carrow Road.
The Canaries were defeated by Crystal Palace in the previous fixture and are 17th in the league table and 4 points ahead of the 18th placed Sunderland. The pressure is really big on Sunderland who are without a win in their last six matches and Norwich will be hoping to pile further misery on the visitors on Saturday.
Norwich Form Guide:
Norwich's three match unbeaten run came to an end with the 1-0 defeat at Crystal Palace last weekend. The form in their last 5 matches read 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 loss.
At home, the Canaries remain with one win in their last 6 league matches, the rest being 2 draws and 3 defeats. Five out of those six games have seen over 2.5 goals.
Sunderland Form Guide:
The Black Cats are win-less in their last 6 Premier League matches, with 4 draws and 2 defeats. They have failed to find the back of the net in their last two games. Moreover they have just 1 win from their last 11 league matches.
Sunderland are a poor side away from home all season and won just twice so far from 16 matches in Premier League, with 10 of those being defeats. They are coming on the back of consecutive draws away from home.
Norwich City: Team News
Alexander Tettey is the only confirmed injured player for Alex Neil's side, but the head coach is hopeful on the fitness of Timm Klose and Russell Martin, who will be assessed closely towards the kick-off.
Predicted Line-up (4-4-1-1)
Olsson, Klose, Bennet, Wisdon
Brady, Howson, O'Neil, Jarvis
Sunderland: Team News
Sam Allardyce will be without the injured Duncan Watmore and other than this he has a fully fit squad at his disposal in the trip to Norwich.
Predicted Line-up (4-1-4-1)
Yedlin, Kone, Kaboul, Aanhold
Borini, Cattermole, M'Villa, Khazri
Norwich vs Sunderland: Head-to-Head Stats
Norwich are unbeaten in the last 5 games against Sunderland with 3 wins and 2 draws. The Canaries have also won in the last two meetings with the sides.
Sunderland's last win against Norwich was on February 2012 at their home ground.
Norwich have all of their last three Premier League home matches against Sunderland.
Norwich vs Sunderland: Prediction
Norwich have managed to take some important wins from their last five fixture, while Sunderland is still without a win in their last six, though four of those were draws. Big Sam's legacy of saving teams from relegation will be at a big threat if they lose this match.
With Arsenal and Manchester United to come up-next Alex Neil will be preparing his team to take all three points against Sunderland. At home, they are very likely to score, while Sunderland's woes in the last few games lies in their attacking department. Despite creating chances the Black Cats failed to score in both of their previous two matches.
We could see a narrow Norwich City win on Saturday and it is very likely to end in a 1-0 or 2-0. I hardly expect Sunderland to score, taking both teams to score out of the equation.

Extreme Audio in Mechanicsville and Midlothian are excited to introduce the amazing Alpine iLX-F309. The F309, which is also known as HALO9, is a single-DIN multimedia receiver with a unique 9-inch, full-color touchscreen LCD screen. How did Alpine fit a 9-inch display into a single-DIN chassis? Keep reading to find out.
HALO9: Alpine iLX-F309 Universal 9-Inch Display with CarPlay & Android Auto
As the undisputed experts in large-screen multimedia solutions for trucks and SUVs, Alpine wanted a way to give car owners the same big-screen experience that makes navigation and entertainment so easy. Rather than follow the approach of Restyle with custom dash kits, Alpine has introduced the iLX-F309. The F309 features a single-DIN chassis that will fit into anything from an '80s Ford Tempo or Honda Civic to a late-model Tacoma, Camry or Accord.
The display for the iLX-F309 hovers in front of the chassis similar to the way the display does in a new Mazda3 or Mercedes-Benz C-Class. This design allows Alpine to offer a large screen without the need for extensive vehicle modification. The Alpine HALO9 includes four different mounting angles and two mounting depth options for the screen to ensure we can make the system look great in your vehicle.
The 9-inch screen features a capacitive touch interface so that the 800×480-pixel WVGA display looks sharp and clear. You can choose from eight color schemes to coordinate with or contrast the lighting and styling of your interior.
HALO9 Entertainment Features
The F309 is a digital media receiver, with no CD player. It offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity so you can play music stored on your smartphone by simply asking. You can also access streaming services like Pandora, Spotify, iHeartRadio and Tidal. You can even listen to podcasts or books from Audible or audiobooks.com. The F309 is also SiriusXM-ready, so just add an SXV300 tuner to enjoy your favorite music anytime, anywhere.
The USB port will play FLAC, MP3, WMA and AAC audio files, as well as a variety of video formats. The built-in tuner covers standard AM and FM frequencies, and it can decode HD Radio signals as well. The Bluetooth interface will allow you to stream audio using the A2DP protocol from any compatible device.
The Heart of an Amazing Audio System
Alpine products are designed to complement each other to create an amazing entertainment system. If you just have to play a compact disc, the Alpine DVE-5300 can be connected to the HDMI input on the rear of the F309. The built-in four-channel amplifier is rated to produce a maximum of 50 watts per channel, and the front, rear and subwoofer preamp outputs are rated at 4 volts RMS. Alpine has included TuneIt 2.0 compatibility to allow us to set your system up for maximum performance and realism using your smartphone. Finally, compatibility with the ADS Maestro system ensures compatibility with factory infotainment solutions and vehicle configuration options.
See the HALO9 at Extreme Audio
If you are in the Richmond area, drop by Extreme Audio in Mechanicsville or Midlothian to see how the Alpine iLX-F309 is going to change the way we think about installing source units. Be sure to ask about fitting an F309 in the dash of your vehicle. For more information on any of our products or services, send us an e-mail using our online contact page.

New warehouse in London
Together with Lufthansa Technik AG, Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services (LTLS) commissioned a new warehouse for component supply at London's Heathrow Airport at the end of July.
When the decision was made in February to open the warehouse, LTLS began to search for a local partner for the warehouse space. The decision on a suitable partner was made with Lufthansa Technik at the end of April after a tender and an extensive analysis of transport and warehousing costs as well as the quality and growth possibilities of the new site. The months that followed saw the on-site creation of the necessary processes to ensure smooth supply, including, in particular, the introduction of the IT systems L/warehouse and L/shipping, for which the local employees received training.
In addition, Holger Driver and Phillip Lock, two project employees from the newly created LTLS Competence Center Warehouse, will be available on site to provide support during the initial phase.
In the future, Lufthansa Technik will be able to supply its mostly British customers from this warehouse around the clock, and its regional proximity will enable devices to be delivered to any airport in the UK within just a few hours. At the same time, the new location at Heathrow Airport will enable the fastest possible transport to international destinations, too. Initially, the warehouse will hold components for nearly all the systems in the Airbus A320 family and the A330.
"We are very pleased that we could open this warehouse together with Lufthansa Technik. At the moment, we are right in the middle of the implementation phase of another new warehouse that is scheduled to open in Hong Kong in just a few weeks, and more locations will follow over the course of the year. This illustrates the internationalization of our business growth, with all its challenges and especially its great future opportunities," says Matthias Niessen, who heads Warehousing and International Production at LTLS.
Partnership with Edelweiss Air
LTLS takes over transport services for Edelweiss Air
From march 2016, LTLS takes over the transport of aircraft spares for the SWISS-Affiliate Edelweiss Air. The first transport on behalf of the new costumer took place on 24 February.The swiss airline belongs to the Lufthansa group since 2008 and has been on a steady growthrate. Currently, more than 40 holiday destinations are already served.
"We are very pleased that Edelweiss Air entrusts the transport of their aircraft material to us and we'll support further growth." says Dr. Reinhard Paul, Head of Marketing and Sales of LTLS.
New company leadership at Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services
Andreas Tielmann takes on new role
As of 01 January, 2017, Andreas Tielmann (47) is the new Managing Director of Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services (LTLS). He is taking over the role from Dr. Christian Langer, who is moving to Lufthansa Technik as Head of Digital Fleet Solutions.
Andreas Tielmann has been with Lufthansa Technik since 1998. He began his career as project coordinator in the Department of Business Development. In 1999 he was sent to Dallas, Texas, as Project Manager for the establishment of Lufthansa Technik Component Services, before returning to Hamburg in 2000 and taking on the position of Group Leader, Hydraulic Equipment Maintenance. Two years later, Andreas Tielmann was appointed Head of the Business Area Development department within the Aircraft Component Services Division.
In 2006 he was appointed Director of Aircraft Base Maintenance. In 2010, Andreas Tielmann became Head of the Landing Gear Overhaul product area. Since 2012 he has led the Aircraft Systems Product Division, responsible for all technical services on landing gear and engine casings.
Andreas Tielmann studied industrial engineering, specialising in mechanical engineering, at the Technical University of Darmstadt.
Hamburg: Investment in Lufthansa Technik Group site logistics
Automatic storage rack system AutoStore
Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services GmbH (LTLS) has commissioned the innovative, automatic storage rack system AutoStore for small parts in Hamburg. More than three million euros have been invested at Lufthansa Technik's home base over the last two years under the project name "ABLS@HAM" as part of the ongoing modernization program by the company in the city of Hamburg.
"AutoStore" is a storage and retrieval system in which plastic containers are stacked one on top of the other. At LTLS, a total of 19 robots travel on an aluminum base frame, retrieving items from stock and transporting them to seven picking stations. 75 stock inputs and up to 200 stock outputs are possible per hour.
The compact storage concept delivers space savings of more than 50 percent compared with the legacy system. The area covered by the automated storage system extends to 700 square meters, with 24,000 containers accommodating 215,000 batches. Capacity and speed can be enhanced almost infinitely during operation.
"The new system represents a major step toward forward-looking, innovative, and ergonomically optimized logistics," said Lufthansa Technik CFO Dr. Peter Jansen at the official opening. Andreas Meisel, Managing Director of Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services added: "LTLS has invested a good 3 million euros in the AutoStore system in the last 24 months and consequently in the efficient deployment of employees. At the same time this allows us to further improve working conditions. We have thus successfully moved away from the 'person-to-goods' approach formerly adopted to a more modern 'goods-to-person' retrieval principle."
The investment in the new logistics system represents a further step forward in Lufthansa Technik's modernization program at the Hamburg location. Following construction of a new engine overhaul center, a separate building for the new "Original Equipment Innovation" product division, and considerable investment in the area of composite material repairs, a building has recently been constructed that includes a completely new chemistry lab among other facilities. Lufthansa Technik has quadrupled its investments in research and development in the past year.
New Managing Director at Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services
Dr. Christian Langer takes on new role
Dr. Christian Langer (44) has been appointed as Managing Director of Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services (LTLS) with effect from September 1, 2015. He takes over this role from Andreas Meisel, who moved from this position after more than four years to join Ameco Beijing as Chief MRO Operation Officer of the Executive Management.
Dr. Christian Langer has been employed at Lufthansa Technik since 2004. He started his career in product management for aircraft maintenance in Frankfurt. He has been responsible for developing the lean production system and the Lufthansa Technik Lean Academy since 2007. In 2012 he additionally took on responsibility for a restructuring project of the administrative body of Lufthansa Technik and in 2013 became the founding Managing Director of Lumics GmbH & Co. KG, a joint venture between Lufthansa Technik AG and McKinsey & Company.
Dr. Christian Langer studied Computer Science at the University of Koblenz. Following his degree and position in management consulting, he obtained a PhD (Dr. rer. pol.) from the WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management in Koblenz.
Munich: Expansion of Airbus A350 logistics
Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services GmbH (LTLS) invests into warehouse
Lufthansa Technik AG is stepping up its capacities for the support of the Airbus A350: a symbolic groundbreaking marked the beginning of the expansion of a highly modern warehouse for the spare parts supply at the Munich location.The ceremony took place on December 8, 2015, in the presence of Dr. Thomas Stüger, member of the executive board of Lufthansa Technik, Dr. Christian Langer, Managing Director of LTLS, and Thomas Weyer, Managing Director of finance and infrastructure of Munich Airport GmbH.
The existing warehouse of Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services (LTLS) is being expanded by 3,200 square meters of floor space and optimized for the A350 support amongst other things.The currently limited warehousing capacity of LTLS in Munich in connection with the expanded material supply for a new aircraft type necessitated the expansion.
"What simply looks like a hall actually is an important cornerstone in our approach to supporting the Airbus A350," said Dr. Thomas Stüger. "A highly modern and technologically advanced aircraft such as the A350 places high demands on us. Today proves that we are well on the way to offer a comprehensive and punctual support for the A350."
"The expanded warehouse will be equipped with the most modern and innovative storage technologies. This allows us to create the highest efficiency and optimize the utilization of both floor space and room height," explains Dr. Christian Langer.
The warehouse expansion offers significant efficiencies for internal transports. Material flows and transport ways are optimized and synergies are created by centralizing the operative business. Decentralized stocks are given up.
An automated block storage system AutoStore is being established at the first floor of the new warehouse. The expansion's first stage allows to store 15,000 bins. The system can be expanded by another 7,000 bins. The expanded facility offers room for a further narrow-aisle rack, a pallet rack for wheels, a platform system with shelving racks for small parts and battery preservation as well as a cantilever racking system for oversized and long goods components.
gate.control – the procedure for identifying materials globally
LTLS shortens turnaround times and reduces transport costs
gate.control is an innovative procedure developed by Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services GmbH (LTLS), a subsidiary of Lufthansa Technik AG, to identify aircraft material in the international repair cycle. A patent has already been registered for the procedure and the gate.control box.
The mobile box measuring just one cubic meter in size for the first time allows a comprehensive information package of the aircraft components being shipped to be compiled directly at the customer site. The box is fitted with a camera system, associated IT equipment as well as scanners for generating comprehensive electronic photographic documentation.
Standardized software controls the data input from the scanning of the documents to the photographing of the packaging through to the overview and detailed photographs and then transmits the data package to the responsible technical department in LTLS.
Specially trained LTLS employees are responsible for carrying out the binding identity and quantity control and also certificate checks. All data is finally input into the booking systems while the documents created are sent back to the providers locally.
"Turnaround times for aircraft materials in the international repair cycle will be reduced significantly thanks to gate.control. What's more, gate.control allows considerable savings especially in relation to transport and inventory costs. And we can also further increase the data quality in the repair cycle with the help of the consistent and standardized photographic documentation," says Dr. Christian Langer, Managing Director of LTLS.
gate.control will be exhibited at MRO Europe from October 13 to 15, 2015 in London (Great Britain) at the Lufthansa Technik Booth No. 426. Furthermore, a presentation entitled "Preparing for Tomorrow's Supply Chain" will be given on October 14 from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. by Dr. Aaron Scholz, Project Manager Logistics Solutions at LTLS.
New Location Tracking optimizes resource scheduling
"GSE 4.0" creates complete transparency for Ground Support Equipment
With "GSE 4.0", Lufthansa Technik AG has developed a system that allows Ground Support Equipment — i.e. all resources with a towbar or an ignition switch — to be found immediately using new localization software. This makes the time-consuming search for available GSE such as ladders, trailers, loaders, tugs, towbars, start-up devices, and air conditioning units a thing of the past.
Lufthansa Technik began the implementation of the pilot project in April. Hardware and software has now been installed, the antennas positioned on hangar roofs, and around 1,500 GSE items have been connected. The system has already gone online in Hamburg and Frankfurt. It will soon be put into operation in Munich and for other users within the Lufthansa Group, for example Lufthansa Cargo.
"With the help of 'GSE 4.0', location tracking is now possible at any time and in any place, so that we can locate all networked GSE both outside and in the hangars," says project leader Gerrit Rexhausen. Quick and precise locating of equipment improves the availability of all GSE and allows for completely transparent planning. Beyond this, each item of GSE can display relevant information such as the fuel level, outside temperature, or faults.
"GSE 4.0" is possible using special hardware and software. Whilst localization with trackers and gateway uses established hardware, the visualization software was especially developed for the project. All trackers are equipped with on-board sensors. The sensors can be configured flexibly, depending on needs and the specific GSE, and extended using existing external sensors such as fuel level indicators on vehicles.
LTLS takes on complete transport logistics for SWISS
Standard and engine transports worldwide
Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) has entrusted its entire spare parts logistics to Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services GmbH (LTLS) as part of a three-year agreement in effect since the beginning of February. Under the agreement, LTLS will take over all transport services for SWISS everywhere in the world, including standard transports and special services such as the transport of aircraft engines.
Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services will also take on the local handling of material supply at the airline's hub in Zurich as well as at the airports in Basel and Geneva, encompassing packing, customs clearance, shipping and documentation. Moreover, the company will serve as the hazardous goods officer for SWISS, and is responsible in that capacity for the production of hazardous goods documents.
"We anticipate that the support we receive from Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services will significantly improve the performance of our material supply processes and ensure greater transparency in the transport chain. We expect to benefit from a less expensive cost base as well as synergies from the Lufthansa Group," says Peter Wojahn, Chief Technical Officer at SWISS.
"We are naturally very pleased that SWISS has entrusted us with the job of bundling all the transport services it needs into a seamless concept," adds Andreas Meisel, Managing Director of LTLS. "In this context, our Transport Management service delivers genuine added value."
Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services relies on its Logistics Control Tower to ensure the optimal management of all transports. The Logistics Control Tower enables SWISS to maintain a complete overview and the control over its material flows, both between its own sites worldwide and from transport service providers and the SWISS sites in Switzerland. LTLS's Material Flow Management team controls and monitors all the transport services provided to SWISS, serving as a central contact 365 days a year around the clock for all the affected areas at the airline, from purchasing to routine logistics to emergency logistics (Aircraft on Ground). In addition, SWISS is now using the LTLS tracking platform L/tracking for maximum transparency.
Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services on the way to a digital warehouse
Smart data glove, automated guided vehicle, automation
Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services (LTLS) is driving digitalization forward by purposefully using Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. The aim is to improve the efficiency of operational processes and lay the foundation for reducing the workload of employees. For this purpose, the wholly owned subsidiary of Lufthansa Technik AG has launched a targeted warehousing program as part of its digitalization strategy.
Within the framework of this program, fundamental processes in all areas will be automated, digitalized and interconnected. The pilot location for the digital warehouse is Munich Airport, which is particularly suitable due to its strong growth and modern infrastructure as well as the fact that new aircraft types such as the Airbus A350 are stationed there.
"We are currently testing and starting to implement digital assistance systems, localization technologies and driverless transport systems in selected areas of activity. We cooperate with specific start-ups. For instance, we are introducing the smart data glove of Proglove as well as an automated guided vehicle of Agilox" says Dr. Harald Kolbe, Head of Digital Innovation at LTLS.
Core logistics processes are not only being digitalized in Munich, but also at other locations such as Frankfurt and Hamburg. The ultimate goal is to implement efficient processes at all locations. To keep realizing new ideas at short intervals and with great speed, LTLS relies on agile project management. But cooperations with start-ups and the implementation of a Group-wide innovation culture at all hierarchical levels are also important elements on the way to a digital warehouse.
LTLS takes responsibility for transport logistics for Lufthansa Technik Puerto Rico
Consignment volume to grow to approx. 9,000 units per year
Lufthansa Technik Puerto Rico (LTPR) has entrusted its spare part logistics to Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services (LTLS). The contract is already in force and is to run for one year and will extend automatically unless canceled by one of the parties.
As part of the contract, LTLS will take on responsibility for all inbound and outbound transports from the U.S., Europe, and Asian countries to Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, including customs clearance. In addition to routine transports, AOG consignments are also included as well as special transports, such as transporting engines. The consignments are primarily transported by air freight in order to ensure that the spare parts are on site as quickly as possible.
"We are delighted at the trust Lufthansa Technik Puerto Rico is placing in our transport services. Because the location is still regarded as in development, we expect the consignment volume to grow to approx. 9,000 units per year. We expect average revenue of up to three million euros per year," says Dr. Christian Langer, Managing Director of LTLS.
"The transport concept developed by LTLS for LTPR really appeals to us," says Elmar Lutter, Managing Director of Lufthansa Technik Puerto Rico. "The best transport routes are sought in each case in order to minimize turnaround times and costs."
LTLS operates a warehouse for SuperJet International in the U.S.
Extension of collaboration
Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services (LTLS) and SuperJet International are stepping up their collaboration. LTLS is supplementing the spares distribution center in Frankfurt by taking over responsibility for SuperJet International warehouse operations in Fort Lauderdale (USA).
By deciding for this supply set-up, SuperJet International and LTLS ensure a rapid and reliable spares provisioning for SSJ100 operators in the Americas. Because of its close proximity to the launch customer, Mexican airline Interjet, the LTLS warehouse located at the Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL), has been selected as the optimum location. Fort Lauderdale serves as a hub for 27 passenger airlines with 65 domestic and 36 international destinations in Canada, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Europe, Mexico, Central America, and South America. Miami International Airport (MIA) is close by, increasing the potential destinations.
With this set-up, LTLS is taking over responsibility for after-sales support, including the storage, handling and distribution of serviceable parts to the customers, as well as the management of the repair cycle for unserviceable parts. In addition, customs brokerage, inventory control for the pool items and 24/7 logistics support are being offered.
With the continuous development of a network of 8 strategically located branch offices in the U.S., LTLS is the specialist for aviation logistics in the North American market, offering an extensive range of services. "Fort Lauderdale's location in South Florida is uniquely suited to support customers in North, Central and South America. With this set-up, we are able to serve future customers of the SSJ100 anywhere in the region", states Stephen Fondell, Managing Director of LTLS in the U.S.
The launch customer LCC Interjet has ordered 20 SSJ100 and has options for 10 more. The first aircraft has been already delivered in June, the second one is to be delivered very soon. The airline has major hubs in Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara and San Jose del Cabo.
Two Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services trainees win top honors
Best warehouse logistics specialists in Hamburg and Hesse
Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services (LTLS) is celebrating a double victory among its trainees. Hard on the heels of Martin Meryk's award as the best specialist in warehouse logistics in the German state of Hesse, Kristin Klemm won a comparable award from the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce. This means that in 2013, LTLS was home to the best trainees in the state at its two most important training locations.
In his greeting at the ceremony with its 400 invited guests, Chamber of Commerce President Fritz Horst Melsheimer advised the young trainee graduates to make the most of the three-stage training system in Germany (schooling, dual study and subsequent training). "With it, you'll enjoy the best possible conditions for a successful continuation of your careers," said Melsheimer.
Ronald Bauer, Director of Training at Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services, has had the pleasure of several state winners among his trainees over the last few years. "The special fascination of aircraft-related logistics and the opportunity to work directly at the heart of operations are part of the attraction for young people in training to become warehouse logistics specialists. The field of aircraft maintenance makes very high demands on logistics services and our trainees have access to opportunities here that they won't find elsewhere."
The application process is currently underway for the traineeships that start in 2014.
LTLS optimized their worldwide transport network
Completely restructured network for air freight
Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services (LTLS) has completely restructured its transport network for air freight. By reducing the number of transport service providers and by standardizing processes, transport times can be reduced, flexibility increased and costs lowered. In this context, LTLS has re-tendered its entire air freight business with an annual transport volume valued at 28 million euros.
"Optimizing supply chains and ensuring an optimum supply of spare parts for our customers is our major goal. We can offer our customers tailor-made solutions with the selected service providers," says Dr. Christian Langer, Managing Director of Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services.
LTLS will cooperate with a small number of external transport providers in the future: DHL Global Forwarding and Lufthansa Technik Component Services (Business Unit Logistics) will take over the transatlantic transport services for spare parts and tools. Imports from Asia and Europe are being awarded to four service providers, who will share some 1,000 routes and approx. 30,000 consignments. Expeditors, DLH Global Forwarding, Beijing AOG and Global Airfreight will transport to 20 different countries in the future.
The optimized transport network offers a significant reduction in transit times, since monitoring is performed on an ongoing basis. Collection and distribution are bundled optimally and the communication processes reduced owing to fewer transport providers.
In addition to transporting routine consignments, time-critical consignments, such as Aircraft on Ground shipments as well as hazardous goods, will also be transported. Close attention was also paid here to ensuring that all service providers have the necessary approval.
Opening of new warehouse space in Munich
Supply of spare parts for Airbus A350
Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services (LTLS) has reached a significant milestone by extending the warehouse building for the supply of spare parts for Airbus A350 at the Munich site. The existing spare parts warehouse has been enlarged during the last months by an area of 3,200 square meters and is opened today. The extension was necessitated by the material supply for the Airbus A350, providing some 700 different components.
"An important element in ensuring the extensive support and supply of the Airbus A350 is now complete. Thanks to this development, our customers are guaranteed optimum material supply for this aircraft type also," says Dr. Christian Langer, Managing Director of LTLS.
In addition to the components for the new aircraft type, parts for 15 other aircraft types are also stored here. Following the commissioning of the extended warehouse, local storage areas at the airport can now be released promptly, as the new main warehouse will be home to the materials in future. The reduction in intra-company transports will lead to optimal material flows and transport routes as well as synergy effects through the centralization of the operative business.
The extension is fitted out with modern warehouse technology, such as the automatic storage rack system. This technology is an important prerequisite for developing additional digitally supported optimization potential.
Lufthansa Technik Group: 147 young people begin training
Vocational preparation measures are very successful
At the traditional start of the German training year in August, 147 young people are beginning either traditional or dual-study training programs with the Lufthansa Technik Group. All told, Lufthansa Technik will be home to 591 trainees on their way to professions in technical aircraft services or aircraft logistics. One highlight of the current training year is the success of the company's measures to increase the number of trainees with lower-level secondary school qualifications. And as is now traditional, several deaf trainees are among those "learning the ropes" as tool mechanics. The proportion of women among the trainees has risen from 11% to a total of 15%.
72 of the new trainees are beginning programs in Hamburg, 47 in Frankfurt, 18 in Arnstadt, 7 in Alzey and 3 in Munich. They were able to choose between 13 different professions and practice-oriented courses of study.
Since 2000, Lufthansa Technik has made training slots available every second year for deaf trainees, and this year three deaf people are beginning training as tool mechanics. These trainees are completely integrated in the normal program, and if they complete their training successfully they are taken on as permanent employees.
Seven young people have taken advantage of a vocational training preparation program to qualify for training at Lufthansa Technik. This project is jointly sponsored by the city of Hamburg and Lufthansa Technical Training, and focuses on the targeted preparation for training of young people with difficult educational backgrounds.
For the first time, two youths with lower-level secondary school qualifications took advantage of a special internship as a path to a trainee position at Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services (LTLS). As part of the cooperative project "Transfer", the two students from the Gebrüder-Grimm School have had an on-the-job internship at LTLS for two days every week since October 2013, giving them the opportunity to demonstrate their readiness for a traineeship.
The largest group of new trainees – 102 of them – is beginning their training directly at Lufthansa Technik. Another seven will be starting at Lufthansa Technik AERO Alzey, a very successful Lufthansa Technik Group company that specializes in overhauling smaller jet and propeller engines. Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services (LTLS) has taken on twenty new trainees for the future-oriented profession of specialist in inventory administration, and is thus expanding its training commitment yet again. N3 Engine Overhaul Services, headquartered in Arnstadt in Thuringia, is a 50:50 joint venture with Rolls-Royce for overhauling Trent engines. Just like LTLS, N3 takes on more trainees every year, and this year increased the number of training slots for aircraft mechanics with a specialty in engine technology to eighteen.
The percentage of women among the new trainees has risen to 15%. Lufthansa Technik will continue its efforts to seek out and inform young women about the variety of possibilities available in technical professions.
The sites and training professions:
Hamburg: A total of 72 trainees are joining the program in Hamburg this year. Traditionally, most of the slots here go to young people who will become aircraft mechanics with specialties in maintenance (12), engines (12), production engineering (12) and avionic (7). Moreover, this year twelve people will begin their training as tool mechanics, seven as specialists in inventory administration (Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services – LTLS), and two as surface coating technicians (electroplater). They are joined by the following degree-based professions: two practice-oriented aircraft engineers (Master of Engineering), two practice-oriented electrical engineers (Master of Engineering), two mechanical engineers (Master of Engineering) and two students of mechatronics. The degree coursework for these programs takes place at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences.
Frankfurt: Here, a total of 47 traditional and dual-study trainees are beginning their training: twelve as aircraft mechanics with a specialty in maintenance, twenty with the specialty avionics, and ten as specialists in inventory administration (LTLS). In cooperation with the Bremen University of Applied Sciences, five students are starting a dual-study program that will lead them to a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering/aircraft maintenance.
Arnstadt: Eighteen aircraft mechanic trainees with a specialty in engine technology will strengthen N3 Engine Overhaul Services' work force.
Alzey: Six aspiring aircraft mechanics in engine technology and one metal cutting mechanic in milling technology will be trained at Lufthansa Technik AERO Alzey for the challenging task of engine maintenance and repair.
Munich: Three trainees began at Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services with the goal of becoming specialists in inventory administration.

On May 29, 2019, the Government of Canada and the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) launched the Canada-Caribbean Resilience Facility (CRF), a single-donor trust fund aimed at achieving more effective and coordinated gender-informed climate-resilient preparedness, recovery, and public financial management practices in targeted Caribbean countries.
Watch this video Q&A on the new Canada-Caribbean Resilience Facility
The Caribbean region is one of the most disaster-prone with average annual economic losses amounting to 3.6% of GDP between 1980 and 20151, the highest globally. During the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season, two Category 5 hurricanes, Irma and Maria, hit the Caribbean within two weeks, causing severe damage to several small island states and territories amounting to a staggering US$ 95 billion2.
In the context of climate change, institutional capacities in the region are not agile enough to prepare for and respond to disasters before the next hurricane hits; there is often a significant delay between the time a disaster strikes and the time when reconstruction projects are implemented. Since disaster preparation and response rarely apply a gender lens, disasters can often reinforce, perpetuate, and increase gender inequalities, which remain persistent across the Caribbean.
The CRF will provide support to countries so they can respond more effectively to natural disasters and accelerate the implementation of reconstruction projects and other resilient activities, as well as implement institutional reforms for public financial management that incorporate gender-informed disaster responsiveness. Thus, the approach combines disaster risk management and public financial management, which have traditionally been treated separately. Support provided to Caribbean countries through the Facility will be operationalized across the following three components:
Implementation Period: 2019–2023
Contributing Donor: Canada
Amount: Cad$20 million (Est. US$15.2 million)
Recipient Countries: Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Lucia, Suriname, St. Vincent and the Grenadines
Caribbean Implementation Support Hub: An implementation support team of experts, based in in the region, will be deployed to provide close partnership, collaboration, and just-in-time support to accelerate implementation of reconstruction projects and overall resilience-building efforts across the Caribbean.
Component 1: Technical Assistance and Implementation Support for Recovery and Resilience-Building Programs. The objective of this component is to enhance and complement countries' capacities to accelerate the implementation of efficient recovery and resilient investments. This component will establish a multidisciplinary implementation support team of local and international technical experts who will provide technical assistance and capacity building for resilient recovery and reconstruction, as well as other resilience-building activities.
Component 2: Mainstreaming Climate Resilience and Gender across the Public Financial Management Cycle. The objective of Component 2 is to strengthen the capacity of governments within the region to distribute and manage resources in response to natural disasters and similar emergencies. Activities will include providing technical assistance to mainstream resilience and gender into core public financial management functions, systems and protocols in order to enhance the allocative efficiency of emergency financing.
Component 3: Knowledge Management, Capacity Building, and Technical Support. Activities under this component include knowledge management, capacity building, and technical support, in line with the priorities and activities in components 1 and 2. Particular attention will be given to linking the Facility with existing knowledge-sharing platforms such as the GFDRR Small Island States Resilient Initiative (SISRI) and its Practitioners' Network. In addition, this component will provide efficient and effective program management at the program level to the CRF.
A Steering Committee reviews the overall operations and progress of the trust fund and ensures coordination, alignment, and complementarity of activities in the region and between sectors.
GFDRR is the secretariat of the single-donor trust fund and administrator of the CRF. As part of GFDRR, SISRI supports GFDRR's secretariat tasks for the CRF.
Two World Bank Global Practices—the Governance and the Urban, Rural, and Social Development Practices—will implement the World Bank–executed activities according to a work plan. The work plan will be driven by country needs and developed in a collaborative effort with the nine eligible countries.
The CRF will work in close collaboration with the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA) and other relevant regional organizations, as well as national agencies/ministries in charge of recovery implementation, and build their capacity mainly on technical aspects related to disaster risk management and resilient public financial management. The Facility will actively coordinate and look for synergies with other Canada-supported activities in the region, as well as with the Caribbean Development Bank, the United Nations Development Programme, and other organizations.
