Transport and logistics infrastructure is a critical determinant of the competitiveness of a country's producers and exporters. Well-functioning transport and logistics infrastructure relies not just on hardware, but critically on the operating environment that emerges from the interaction between private sector operators; national policies and regulatory regimes; and, in many countries, state-owned owners and operators of core infrastructure. ... 更多显示 This paper looks at the case of South Africa, where constraints in access, pricing, reliability, and network interfaces, particularly in the port and rail network, are eroding the competitiveness of South African exporters. The paper draws on interviews with a wide range of exporters along with secondary research to examine South Africa's port and rail network, and explores the underlying factors contributing to these constraints, including chronic underinvestment, an inadequate regulatory environment, insufficient private sector participation, and weak regional integration. The paper concludes with a review of the reforms needed to deliver a more broadly accessible and competitive rail and port sector based on international case examples. It highlights the need for institutional reforms to promote competitive pricing; private sector participation to increase investment and improve service delivery; information and coordination to address market failures and improve access; and cooperation to improve intermodal, interregional, and institutional interfaces. 更少显示

In the 22 years between 1992 and 2014 Vietnam attained the remarkable average annual rate of economic growth of 6.9 percent. However, the sources of growth that underpinned much of this period of economic transformation ready availability of labor and a structural shift of national production from subsistence agriculture to industry and services are gradually being depleted and cannot be sustained indefinitely. ... 更多显示 Given that a substantial share of Vietnam's growth has been associated with the expansion of manufacturing linked to international trade, more competitive freight logistics which are the backbone of import-export activity should be among those levers. This report aims to compile the key lessons that have been learned by other countries in setting up platforms for direct dialogue between public sector agencies and private sector freight stakeholders at the planning and policy making level. This experience yields options for Vietnam to strengthen its own approaches to public private and public policy dialogue in logistics. Chapter one gives background and current situation. Chapter two briefly summarizes the current state of private sector involvement in the public sector functions of management and oversight of Vietnam's logistics industry. Chapter three draws lessons from a limited number of relevant countries where governments have instituted institutional mechanisms for private sector engagement and inter-agency collaboration in logistics and transport planning and policy making. Chapter four offers recommendations for the Government of Vietnam (GoV) towards realistically implementing and ultimately mainstreaming robust private sector engagement and inter-agency collaboration in logistics. Chapter five presents the findings of a recent World Bank- Ministry of Transport (MoT) survey of Vietnam-based private sector freight stakeholders on the subject of private sector engagement in the planning and policy making processes of government. Chapter six concludes by offering examples of the kinds of good public sector logistics management practices that the GoV can pursue if it availed itself of the collaborative mechanisms recommended by this report. 更少显示

The trade facilitation facility (TFF) was launched to help low-income countries improve their competitiveness by reducing the costs of engaging in international trade, thus supporting their efforts to reduce poverty and achieve the millennium development goals. ... 更多显示 This report summarizes the outcomes of the TFF between its establishment in 2009 and its end in 2015. The report highlights and reviews the accomplishments and lessons learned of TFF; it also discusses and reflects the perspective of task team leaders and relevant World Bank Group officials on the Bank Group's continuing work in the trade facilitation sphere. The report presents results of TFF-funded activities and programs managed by staff from a large cross section of Bank Group sectors, including transport, agriculture, governance (customs), international trade, and private sector development. The report is organized as follows: chapter one give introduction. Chapter two provides an overview of the TFF portfolio. Chapter three looks at TFF as enabler of deepening regional integration, highlighting some of the facility's accomplishments from a geographic and thematic perspective, particularly the extent to which TFF complemented Bank infrastructure operations and nurtured progress on trade facilitation instruments that countries and regional economic communities (RECs) have adopted but failed to implement. Chapter four, expanding thematic insights, addresses conceptual themes in trade facilitation. Chapter five, conclusions and contributions, sums up the areas in which TFF has contributed to moving the regional and multilateral trade facilitation agenda. 更少显示

Regulatory frameworks on logistics regulations are often opaque, especially in developing countries, because of the complex nature of logistics services. ... 更多显示 World Bank client countries have faced difficulty finding the issues that hinder them from improving logistics competence. Therefore, it is beneficial to understand how the logistics service industry is regulated and what should be addressed in building the regulatory framework to improve logistics competence. This note proposes questions to be addressed for beneficial regulations by reviewing existing logistics service regulations in 14 countries, particularly regulations for the freight forwarding industry. These questions will help in assessing a regulatory framework and identifying regulatory weaknesses. This note suggests that the regulatory framework should take into consideration national recognition of freight forwarding business, an institutional arrangement with clear division of responsibility among stakeholders, and streamlined but flexible regulations adapted to the country context. 更少显示
This study was conceived on the basis of a request by Ukraine's Ministry of Agricultural Policies and Food (MoAPF). In 2013, the MoAPF explored the World Bank's interest for investing in grain hoppers, following a deficit of hoppers and concerns about related difficulties for grain transport. ... 更多显示 In response, the World Bank secured resources from the Multi Donor Trust Fund for Trade and Development (TF016693) to carry out a review of grain logistics in Ukraine in order to better understand the challenges facing the sector. The objectives of this report are to assess the functioning of the grain logistics system, identify bottlenecks and put forward practical recommendations for investments and reform. Research points to five key drivers of current high logistics costs: (i) lack of regulatory clarity and sub-optimal management of public assets that create barriers to private investments; (ii) underutilization of river transport, (iii) underinvestment in rail transport; (iv) inefficiencies in storage management, and (v) excessive use of road transport. However, there are two important limitations of the report that should be taken into account. First, the ongoing crisis remains a source of uncertainty. It has so far had limited impact on grain production and logistics, yet access to finance has become more difficult and other impacts might arise in the future. Second, there are two areas that the report does not address: customs and ports. Both are important elements of logistics costs and deserve a comprehensive analysis in the future. 更少显示

This paper analyzes the impacts of selected trade facilitation measures on international trade flows. A gravity model is used to estimate four equations: a pooled cross-section model; a fixed-effects model; a random effects model; and a Poisson maximum likelihood estimator. ... 更多显示 The contribution of the paper is twofold. First, the analysis uses a recent data set, a panel that includes trade data from 2011 and 2012 for 72 countries. Second, to measure the impacts of trade facilitation measures, the analysis includes dummy variables for the presence of an authorized economic operator program, the existence of a single-window program in the countries in the sample, and the existence of a mutual recognition arrangement between pairs of countries in the sample. The results show that the presence of an authorized economic operator program and the existence of a single-window program will improve countries' trade performance. By contrast, the existence of a mutual recognition arrangement will not necessarily improve countries' trade performance. These results suggest that, in general, trade facilitation measures as a whole will help countries improve their trade performance. 更少显示

Freight forwarders play a key role in moving goods across international borders. They arrange transport, oversee customs clearance on behalf of their clients, and more generally troubleshoot issues that arise while goods are in transit. ... 更多显示 This paper reports the results from a survey of 153 freight forwarding firms in Serbia. Respondents report on firm characteristics, operational choices, and conditions at the border posts and terminals where imported goods are cleared for release. One key purpose of the study is to investigate operational trade-offs between time and cost that arise when import shipments are in transit. In three of four hypotheticals, respondents suggest that money savings dominate time savings. Responses regarding real operational decisions such as route choices reinforce this finding. Respondents also reported penalty rates for late delivery of import shipments as well as the value of a typical import shipment. From these responses, it is estimated that the contracted value of one additional (unexpected) day of delivery time in Serbia appears to be approximately 1 percent of the value of the underlying shipment. 更少显示

Economic activity in many African countries remains highly concentrated and exports are often dominated by mineral resources or a few primary products. ... 更多显示 The World Bank's 2011 report on light manufacturing in Africa identified poor trade logistics performance as a constraint that especially penalized African exporters that relied on imported inputs, very often making them uncompetitive. The report highlighted research that demonstrated how poor logistics added roughly a 10 percent production cost penalty in Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Zambia across the five subsectors of light manufacturing where opportunities were identified as greatest in Africa. The report outlined how in Africa poor trade logistics increase production costs (often wiping out the labor cost advantage) and lead to long and unreliable delivery times, making local firm's unattractive suppliers to lead firms in global value chains (GVCs), particularly for light manufacturing. This note seeks to contribute to a review of progress in achieving export diversification through greater exports of light manufacturing products. It looks at recent trends in the exports of the five categories of light manufacturing identified as having strong potential in Africa. The note reviews progress in improving trade logistics in Sub-Saharan Africa, with a focus on the three countries highlighted in the light manufacturing study: Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Zambia, and additionally Kenya and Uganda. 更少显示

Research into the economic impact of a customs reform in Albania shows the promise of the broader trade facilitation reform efforts that are gaining momentum in developing countries worldwide. ... 更多显示 The research summarized in this note finds that significantly reduced rates of physical inspection of import shipments in Albania reduced the length and variability of customs clearance times and increased import flows. Moreover, the reforms induced changes in the composition of trade and favored imports from preferential trading partners in the European Union. 更少显示

Trade facilitation connects economies and provides opportunities for business growth. However, the national agencies involved in trade often have different objectives, lack coordination with peer agencies in other countries because of different national priorities, high workloads, and absence of platforms to consult with each other. ... 更多显示 Such a divergence of interests is a challenge when the goal is to address, and seek consensus on, trade issues on the regional level, while undertaking capacity building and reform activities at the country level, all with the objective to benefit the private sector. The International Finance Corporation (IFC) Western Balkans trade logistics project faced this challenge. In addition, the project was constrained by limited financial resources, so marrying effectiveness and efficiency was key to achieving results. This smart lesson summarizes lessons learned from the project implementation. 更少显示

The project development objective of the Skills Development Project for Uganda is to enhance the capacity of institutions to deliver high quality, demand-driven training programs in target sectors. ... 更多显示 The project is comprised of four components. Component 1, institutionalizing systemic reforms in skills development seeks to support the reform task force (RTF) to oversee the implementation of critical reforms necessary for the effective functioning of the skills development system as well as supporting the establishment of the skills development authority (SDA) in the medium term. The establishment of sector skills councils (SSCs) are also part of this component and will carry out the following functions: (i) identifying and analyzing of skill requirements in the economic sector; (ii) development of industry skills strategies and training plans to achieve priority goals; (iii) establishing occupational and competency standards and qualifications as part of the Uganda Vocational Qualifications Framework (UVQF); (iv) evaluating performance in skills development; (v) putting in place regulation of public and private sector training providers; and (vi) promoting enterprise based training in the sector. Component 2, improving quality and relevance of skills development, seeks to develop 4 colleges to eventually become Centers of Excellence (CoE) offering high quality competency-based training for artisans (low-level), craftsmen (medium level) and technicians (higher-level) to equip them with skills demanded by selected trades/occupations in the manufacturing, construction, and agriculture sectors of the Ugandan economy. Component 3, employer-led short-term training and recognition of prior learning, will be implemented through a Grant Facility mechanism that will be co-financed by the private sector through a matching grant contribution, and support training activities that lead to improved productivity and competitiveness in the formal and informal sectors. This grant facility will be implemented in four phases. Component 4, project management, monitoring and evaluation, will finance: (i) management of the project including establishment of a Project Coordination Unit within the Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES) to manage the project, as well as implementation units within the respective CoEs, and strengthen the existing project coordination unit (PCU) under the Private Sector Foundation of Uganda (PSFU); (ii) monitoring and evaluation under the project including baseline studies, mid and end-term tracer studies, employer satisfaction surveys, mid-term management review, and annual performance audits, and (iii) Capacity building for implementing units. 更少显示
Chinas shift toward accelerated economic growth in central and western provinces and increasing levels of personal income and consumption are all consistent with the need for rail-enabled Integrated Logistics Centers (ILCs). ... 更多显示 Yet, while hundreds of logistics clusters have been developed in China over the past few years, modern, international standard rail- and multimodal-transport enabled ILCs are less common. Close, long-term collaboration between public sector authorities and private sector specialized firms, such as real estate developers, have proven effective in the development of North Americas focused network of ILCs critical to facilitating transcontinental and other freight itineraries. This model can succeed in China as well. The ready availability of multimodal transport connectivity is the most critical component of any cluster of logistics activities. This note will argue that China could substantially benefit from developing a focused network of well-planned, economically justified, financially viable, and carefully implemented ILCs supported by rail intermodal operations. 更少显示

This paper estimates the volume of informal trade between Algeria and Mali and analyzes its determinants and mechanisms, using a multi-pronged methodology. ... 更多显示 First, the authors discuss how subsidy policies and the legal framework create incentives for informal trade across the Sahara. Second, the authors provide evidence of the importance of informal trade, drawing on satellite images and surveys with informal traders in Mali and Algeria. The authors estimate that the weekly turnover of informal trade fell from approximately United States (U.S.) 2 million dollars in 2011 to U.S. 0.74 million dollars in 2014, but continues to play a crucial role in the economies of northern Mali and southern Algeria. Profit margins of 20-30 percent on informal trade contribute to explaining the relative prosperity of northern Mali. The authors also show that official trade statistics are meaningless in this context, as they capture less than 3 percent of total trade. Finally, the authors provide qualitative evidence on informal trade actors and mechanisms for the most frequently traded products. 更少显示

Despite enormous academic interest in international trade costs and keen policy interest in efforts to mitigate them, so far there is very little hard evidence on the impacts of trade facilitation efforts. ... 更多显示 This paper exploits a dramatic reduction in the rate of physical inspections by Albanian customs to estimate the effects of fewer inspection-related delays on the level and composition of imports. In this setting, the paper finds evidence that the expected median number of days spent in Albanian customs falls by 7 percent when the probability that a shipment is inspected falls from 50 percent or more to under 50 percent. In turn, this reduction in time produces a 7 percent increase in import value. The paper finds evidence that the reforms favored imports from preferential trading partners, especially the European Union. There are also reform-induced changes in the composition of trade, including increases in average quantities and unit prices, the number of shipments, and the number of importing firms per product-country pair and the number of countries per firm-product pair. A back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests that the estimate of 7 percent import growth along an intensive margin is roughly consistent with a 0.36 percentage point reduction in average tariff equivalent trade costs. Applying this figure to the value of Albania's non-oil imports produces a reform-induced trade cost savings estimate of approximately US$12 million in 2012. 更少显示

Rail intermodal logistics, the movement of containerized cargo from origin to destination where a portion of the journey takes place on rail, have gained significance in North America over the past 10 to 15 years based on cost and operational efficiency. ... 更多显示 In China, however, the story has thus far been different. Considering the length-of-haul and commodity characteristics of Chinas manufacturing sector, the country has a persistently low incidence of rail intermodal participation in domestic and international supply chains. We find that the binding constraints behind the low incidence of rail intermodal services in China are most likely to be found on the supply side, not the demand side of the equation. Specifically, the regulatory and institutional environment, which regulate freight tariffs and provides little or no flexibility for China Railway Corporation (CRC) to tailor services to customer needs, is at the root of this challenge. This note outlines the success of railways in North America in (a) tailoring rail intermodal service offerings based on customer needs and willingness to pay; and (b) collaborating with other logistics service providers so as to concentrate on their core (rail transportation) competency, while leaving other segments of the end-to-end intermodal supply chain to those most efficient in those segments. The current policy and economic environment facing CRC seems favorable to pursuing reforms towards adopting similar practices. 更少显示

In this context, this note summarizes the findings of a recent World Bank, SACU Secretariat assessment of regional trade facilitation based on the Trade and Transport Facilitation Assessment (TTFA) methodology. ... 更多显示 The assessment looks at regional trade facilitation through the lens of value chains, with the objective to understand how the region's trade and transport environment could be improved to facilitate more extensive and deeply integrated regional trade, linked to competitive participation in global value chains. The remainder of this note is structured as follows: section two provides a brief overview of regional trade and freight flows. This is followed in section three by a brief review of the trade and transport environment (including infrastructure and policy) across each SACU member state. Section four summarizes the findings of the detailed analysis, from a trade facilitation perspective, of the regional value chains in four key industry sectors: agro-processing; agro-processing; automotive; beef; and textiles/apparel. Section five then focuses on identifying potential solutions to three key trade and transport facilitation challenges identified through the value chain assessments. Finally, section six concludes. 更少显示

This policy note describes the state of transport and logistics in Georgia, carries out a needs assessment and identifies the main areas for improvements.The purpose of this policy note is to develop a common understanding between the Government of Georgia (GoG) and its partners of the institutional and physical challenges which face the transport and logistics sector, and of a strategy for meeting these challenges in the medium-term. ... 更多显示 The policy note identifies the key strategic directions and actions which will enable the sector to grow and improve. It intends to help the Bank and the development partners to engage with the GoG in dialogue on the critical bottlenecks and to provide the Government with advice based on the Bank's international experience. The strategic directions outlined in this policy note require institutional reforms. This is inevitably a long term process but one which will gradually improve Georgia's Logistics Performance Index ranking and its trade and competiveness. 更少显示

The past decade has witnessed a strong, steady and increasingly unified global call to action to improve the results of capacity development. Consensus is emerging around key principles of country-led capacity development and its importance in enhancing development effectiveness at every level. ... 更多显示 A series of high-profile, global-level consultations1 have been convened to focus on how to translate the urgency that countries and organizations feel about capacity development into concerted, deliberate actions to grow endogenous, country-led capacity of all development stakeholders. These consultations contributed to the Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan, November 2011, with a view to further elevating the importance of evidence-based capacity development. In Africa, efforts for continent-wide, country-led capacity development are being led by regional institutions such as the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF) and the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD). This shift is also reflected in recent major developments at the World Bank. Capacity development is a key cross-cutting theme of the World Bank Strategy for Africa, in which knowledge capture and sharing is a major instrument to support capacity development and strengthening public sector capacity is a foundation that underpins the whole strategy. In addition, strengthening institutional capacity is the focus of Program-for-Results, the World Bank's newest lending instrument. Furthermore, the World Bank Institute (WBI) has adopted a catalytic approach to capacity development, which supports government and non-government actors to bring about change by helping them to connect to global knowledge, mobilize for collaborative action and access innovative development solutions. 更少显示

I'm a young professional currently living in the UWS in NYC. I'm originally from Florida but have been living in the city for over a year now. My boyfriend and I love to explore the nearby cities from NY, especially before I hopefully start medical school next year. We're a quiet, young couple who knows how to be respectful in someone else's home. Currently, I have my bachelor's and he has his masters, so we know how to study and have a good time!

Project Documentation really isn't all that hard. It's just an alien thing to many developers. Thankfully for me before I took my degree in Computer Science I trained in Computing, involving such things like Project Management and Quality Control. The problem with documentation is that it is not coding. Programmers are paid to think and program. To most programmers documentation is writing about a business project, something that is boring.
First of all, decide which standardised documents you'll be using and who needs to write what. Secondly, ensure that developers write and keep hold of all information that they use. From then on the documentation has already crudely written itself. Of course with many methodologies there is documentation that needs sorting out before you begin (Project Initiation Documents and the like) but you have people on staff that are capable of writing whilst they have free time so give it to them! As long as developers keep notes you'll have no trouble with getting content for your documentation. Formalising this information will not take that long.
Next time you're coding, leave a text file open or pick up a piece of paper and jot down what you've been up to. Given ten minutes at the end of the day you can easily recall what you've been up to and write that stuff up.
Best practice: use a wiki for project documentation.
Wiki's have specific features for multiple people - change history, comments/talk, recent activity/updates page. Perhaps most importantly, wiki's tend to make updates easier, so the documentation is more likely be up-to-date given the usual time-pressure.
Code reviews help tremendously. It will help you figure out where your documentation needs to be improved if it's lacking.
At our company we make bad project-documentation, because of lack of time. But one thing we discovered worked:
We developers meet every Friday to have a short talk. Every time we decide at the start of the week, who is talking this Friday. The content is differing, but often it is about the current project and often it start with explaining the goals of the project and ends with diving into some code-examples. We always record this sessions and create screencasts. The archives of this screencasts are some rudimentary project-documentation.
For us it starts with a Word Document. You basically build out a bulleted list of things you want to accomplish. Then those bulletpoints get transformed into more specific details (classes with members, methods, and properties). For bigger projects we can spend a week or two, or three writing the actual specification before the first line of code sees the light of day.
Once we think we have a final draft we fire up our IDEs and write the interfaces. Documentation is done inline in Visual Studio. We don't document every little thing but we try to keep on the ball about it.
For small projects it's still good to do the documentation and specification done, you never know where it might end up. We wrote a little tool to test some of our classes and it has blossomed into its own testing suite for our developers. We didn't think it was important at the time but without good documentation it would be unusable at this stage.
Use a good documentation generator like Javadoc and ensure your developers use it. It doesnt take 2 minutes to leave a comment indicating the parameters, return value and exceptions a method has and it can save you a lot of time when you come back to the code later.
For us, it all starts with a BRD (Business Requirements Document). From that BRD, we assembly very lightweight technical documentation consisting of simple flows, implementation guidelines, and (recently) predefined interfaces which the developers will inherit from - the goal being that all public members of any classes developed will have at least initial documentation in the form of XML Comments. Note that we are a .NET shop, so a lot of what follows is specific to .NET.
From there, we rely on three major components to create rather thorough API documentation. First is GhostDoc, which we use for XML Comment inheritance (from the aforementioned interfaces) and autogeneration of new members. We use Sandcastle for the actual assembly and presentation of the documentation, using Sandcastle Help File Builder as an IDE to set the documentation properties and add additional, non-comment derived documentation.
We additionally are in the process of incorporating the documentation generation as part of the build process so that the most recent version is always available.
On top of that we use Team Foundation Server, so we use the available wikis, discussion boards, and other features of the Team Project in Sharepoint to collaborate and share information.
It varies for us. Usually there's some form of Javadoc-esque system involved for API documentation - Luadoc for Lua code, or Doxygen for C/C++ sources (those are our two big technologies). We also have a wiki for documenting ideas, goals, timelines, etc. But since we're only a very small handful of developers, it's not difficult for us to stay on the same page, since our jobs overlap so much.

Loads of fun and exercise for your kitty! My cats hang out in this thing and play for a long time!
posted 6 years ago
Funny thing...we've had this toy for several months and I kept the tag/wrapper because I like to read about each toy I buy for my crew. Well, I unpacked it and they started playing in it immediately so I never read the label until now. It has lights in it that can be turned on and off.
So, I just turned the light switch on which is very easy to switch on and off. The cover is enclosed and is secured by velcro. Right now as I am writing this review there are 2 cats in playing. The lights seem to amaze them as well!
There is an opening at the top and both ends are open so you don't have to worry that they won't get fresh air while playing in it.
We have a lot of other toys by this company and each and every one of them our cats love and play with a lot!
If you happen upon any of this company's products while in the store...try them out...you will not regret it!
Pros: crinkle sound gets them more excited encouraging more play, see below for more
Cons: none

Pros: I was plesantly suprised to find out that this case was decently smaller then the one of your average, older computer. (and much lighter) Otherwise, it ran smoothly and quitely with little fuss.
Cons: The only thing I could really call a 'con' is that when you eject the disc tray, you need to press on the tray itself to have it retract, as the eject button is blocked by the cover when open.

The journal adopts the CAIPE definition of Interprofessional Education as "occasions when two or more professions learn with, from and about each other to improve collaboration and the quality of care" (CAIPE, 1997 revised). Occasions for this kind of interactions among professionals include but are not limited to professional contacts within and between specific health or educational agencies, and community contexts. Interactions among professionals from the same profession are also within the scope of the journal when their analysis contributes to understanding and/or providing the evidence for the processes involved in interprofessional practice and education (IPE).
The journal supports IPE knowledge development through sound methodology and experimentation. A central premise of the journal is that there can be no sound experiment without adequate data, and no adequate data without sound theories to guide their collection. In turn IPE theories should aim at explaining how IPE works based on testable assertions and hypotheses.
The mainstay of the journal is:
1) To improve understanding of the processes involved in IPE and how they are linked to specific outcomes defined at the level of the patient, the family, the health care team, the health care organization, and the community level;
2) To stimulate the development of the evidence related to these processes;
3) To facilitate knowledge exchange between those who fund and conduct research, and those who use and apply research in practice and policy settings.

Creative ZiiO 7 and ZiiO 10 hands-on
Creative have joined the amassed ranks of, well, just about everyone, in offering an Android tablet. But they aren't fighting it out at the top with the likes of Samsung, and with the ZiiO 7 starting at a penny under £200 this could be the tablet you're looking for to keep you entertained on the move.
Running Android 2.1, with an update to Android 2.2 promised (with Creative saying that this would "definitely" bring with it access to Android Market), Creative have done a little customisation to make the device their own.
Rocking a 7-inch 800 x 480 pixel resolution resistive touchscreen display, we found the touch response to be pretty good, and given the size on offer, we had no problem rattling out a few choice sentences on the on-screen keyboard.
The construction is befitting of its budget status, so don't expect it to be beautifully hewn from premium grade metal – its decidedly plasticky in the hand. But you do get to expand the memory via the addition of a microSD card, adding to the 8GB or 16GB options available to you.
We dug around the menus and investigated Creative's differentiator, which is on the audio front. They've incorporated their X-Fi technology which promises to improve the quality of your audio playback. To fit in with their line of wireless speakers, you'll also find that the ZiiO comes with Bluetooth 2.1 and features the apt-X audio codec, which promised high fidelity, low latency audio performance over Bluetooth.
Reading from the spec sheet the video and audio format support is comprehensive, but we'll reserve judgement until we get the ZiiO 7 in for a full review.
Creative told us that you'd get access to apps through the ZiiStore, however the sample we looked at had Slide Market. Angry Birds was present and correct, as it seems to have become the defacto game to demonstrate anything Android.
We'll also be investigating how it performs, given that it's using Creative's own chipset and they couldn't tell us what the clock speed was of the processor, or how much RAM was in support. It can't be too shabby though, as we've seen it playing 720p HD video out over HDMI to a TV – and it looked pretty good.
NOTE: The model we snapped wasn't final hardware and didn't feature the HDMI. As we understand it, retail versions will feature the HDMI.
UPDATE: We've added some ZiiO 10-inch picture here (that's the black one). There are a range of touch controls across the bottom in the bezel, including playback controls, with Creative pitching this as a device for watching video on the move. Essentially it offers the same tech specs as the 7-inch model, except with a 1024 x 600 pixel resolution display.

The usual suspects can explain this rise in demand: change in demographics in developing economies, and tastes and preferences of their emerging middle class. Who will benefit from this near certain doubling of the market? Certainly one of the strongest cases comes from Airbus and the rest of the 3,000 French companies working in the field of aerospace.
More than Airbus
The European aviation industry, the production, maintenance and support of civil aircraft, is currently second largest in the world following the US's Boeing led sector. It is undeniably integral to France in producing jobs and growth, as it is the largest foreign looking sector with 22 billion euros in net exports. Many SMEs depend and service Airbus and these will directly benefit from the impending expansion of the giant's aircraft deliveries, as for the A320 for example, rising from 42 to the target of 50 planes per month.
Aside Airbus's presence, there are many smaller companies that have succeeded independently and are capturing attention abroad. For example, Mapaero produces paint for airplane interiors and exteriors, such as for aircraft's wheels. They rapidly acquire new airlines as clients, the company being particularly innovative as its products are in line with recent EU regulations restricting chemicals in paint. The company's attempts to limit impact on environment will also secure it a bright future.
Ready for Take Off
The French aviation industry is currently well diversified, mature and a world leader. What are its prospects for the future? It seems hard for things to get better, but it certainly looks this way. Brice Robin, Ubifrance's project head explains that the industry is not lingering on its current successes: "Yes, over the last 100 years France has a history with aviation. This however is never enough, and we have to look to innovation for the future. For example French companies spend an average of 14% of their revenues on R&D."
Innovation is incredibly important for France to extend its advantage in a market that requires the utmost quality in order to ensure the security and longevity of its very expensive products to its prospective clients. Mr. Robin adds that there is an industry pressure for firms to "deliver faster, perfect parts with high level of quality, and better products with new technology, such as lower weight."
There are competitors arising in developing markets such as Brazil, China and Russia. However, they are likely to have difficulty in competing with France's knowhow and completeness of services. Mr. Robin explains, as an example, that the French maintenance's market provides a one-stop shop for clients and this reduces costs as well as being convenient: "Today buyers don't only look at the cost of aircraft, but also the maintenance and all else surrounding the aircraft since they will keep the aircraft for 25 to 35 years. They will also be renovating the aircraft interior every 5 to 10 years." An airline doing business in France will not only purchase from Airbus but also look to other French companies, some located as near as the Toulouse metropolitan area, that provide maintenance and other support in usage such as refurbishment.
Mr. Robin puts this all in perspective of the emerging competition of the French industry: "Clients cannot supply all of their parts and components from a new player in an emerging market because some technologies, materials, designs, and new processes there will not be available and this is a French advantage." For example, for the maintenance of certain structural parts that are produced by Airbus, there is a requirement of special certification that can only be found amongst French engineers.
Ubifrance and French SMEs
Ubifrance helps French companies find clients and partners abroad. For example, Win MS participated with Ubifrance at trade shows in Dubai and was able to attain contacts with local airlines. Their aeronautical maintenance equipment were very impressive to Qatar Air, world's second most preferred airline according to the World Airline Awards.
Aeroform provides repairing equipment for composite materials, much of which can be found in the structure of modern aircrafts. The company was looking for one distributor in Spain and Germany, and with help of Ubifrance was able to attain a list of seven to ten possible suitors in each of the markets. In three months they signed one distributor in each country and are now working with Ubifrance to achieve the same results in the Russian market.

Véronique Cuziol, project head at Ubifrance, believes that the French mechanical engineering sector shows the best of the French manufacturing: "No, not all French industries are in decline. Some sectors are successful. For example, the mechanical engineering industry." What exactly is this stellar industry all about? Mechanical engineering firms are diverse in products and services, but broadly they service and produce valued added products for the automobile, aerospace and railway industries.
The French mechanical engineering industry has a turnover of 113 billion euros annually, of which 45.6 billion are exported. These figures rank sixth worldwide and third within Europe. Overall there are over 50000 companies in the industry, including a few large players (Fives, Alstom, Areva and Air Liquide) and a healthy majority of smaller companies: 95% of all firms are SMEs and start-ups.
Besides the USA and China, European markets are the traditional destinations of French exports in this sector. Germany remains by far the biggest importer. Therefore it's not surprising that a great part of French mechanical engineering companies can be found at the world's biggest industrial fair in Germany, the Hannover Messe.
French companies, and in particular SMEs, have been exceptionally effective in leveraging the country's research clusters, some of the best in the world, into innovative solutions. A great example is the Mont Blanc Industries cluster, which specializes in precision machining, mechatronics and other advanced industrial techniques. There is a collective, national interest in creating what is being called the "Factory of the Future": disruptive investments in technologies such as energy efficiency, 3d printing, and advanced robotics that will redefine the future of manufacturing through increased efficiency and reduction in costs.
Some of these French start-ups are making big splashes with innovative products. For example the French Expliseat, founded in 2011, produces the world's lightest seat while also offering an innovative and ergonomic design, the "Titanium Seat." Expliseat has recently received certification from the FAA (Federal American Aviation Administration) and can therefore supply the US aircraft industry.
Another example of a successful subsector is the textile machinery manufacturing: French firms offer extremely targeted and innovative products and an excellent customer service, as well as a highly skilled workforce.
The top 100 French subcontracting companies include a number of large businesses such as the LISI Group, which has a turnover of over one billion euros. There are also a myriad of smaller but nevertheless very ambitious companies such as Manoir Industries: specializing in metal forging and foundry, their objective is to become the world's leader in the production of metals for the nuclear, oil & gas, petro-chemistry and construction sectors.
One must remember that France is one of the most attractive countries in Europe in terms of foreign investments, ranking 4th in the world in terms of industrial FDI. This is no surprise give that foreign investors have access to the second biggest economy in Europe, third highest hourly labour productivity, excellent infrastructure, and a central geographic position. Furthermore, France ranks second in Europe for the number of patent applications, with one in ten of these patents being the result of collaboration between a French and a foreign company.
Ubifrance, the French agency for export promotion, has 80 offices overseas. Its role is to help French companies in marketing their products abroad, as well assist foreign companies in finding French suppliers or partners.

The trend, across cities around the world, is for ever-higher densities in urban population. Benoît Perino, UBIFRANCE's expert on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs), says that, once a city reaches a critical size (i.e. a population density of up to 20,000 people per square kilometre), urban mobility becomes a paramount issue. Public-sector authorities need to solve such issues as to how to manage road traffic flows, give commuters up-to-the-minute information, and run efficient back-office payment systems to make these essential services financially viable.
High tech makes a difference, and France has been a precursor in ITS technology for over 40 years now, designing and building 'the future is now' solutions. The ITS market in France is worth €4 .5 billion per year?, generating 45,000 jobs. Naturally, Paris is the premier showcase, although every major French city displays impressive achievements in urban transportation.
In Paris, the métro is being automated and 'traditional' tickets are on their way out, being replaced by dematerialized Near Field Electronic paid-entry systems such as Navigo that whisk passengers through the turnstiles. Navigo will soon to be deployed across Thalys services — the bullet train serving the high-speed line between Paris and Brussels. One of the key players behind these ultra-efficient, yet complex, ticketing solutions is ERG Transit Systems SA — a specialist company capable of designing ITS ticketing systems for target groups of users ranging from 10,000 to 10 million passengers a day, in cities such as Hong Kong, Melbourne, Rome, Singapore, and maybe San Francisco soon.
Managing environmental impact and highway safety is a prime concern, and French technology has met another ITS challenge on its highways (the country's autoroutes ), providing traffic reports and free-flow tollbooth collection (or ETC, for Electronic Tolling Collection). This complex mix of infrastructure and back-office consolidation of on-line toll collection works now in the United States, while respecting each individual state's strenuous and complicated guidelines for toll-collection management, yet still designing a reliable, interoperable system that makes financial sense.
Systems have also been designed to identify licence plates on trucks in order to apply the eco-tax, as the vehicles pass under electronic sensory equipment. Obviously, a variant of this multi-mode system is equipment that checks for vehicles exceeding the speed limit, combined with the processing of massive volumes of data in order to properly assess fines.
French players have developed solutions that are environmentally and user friendly. Autolib , introduced by Blue Solutions, Bolloré SA's subsidiary, has put up to 1,800 electric cars on the streets of Paris and its region (with 59 suburbs of the French capital included in the scheme) – an environmentally friendly initiative soon to be launched in Indianapolis (USA), where the scheme will be known as Speedy Car .
Any visitor to Paris has seen, or perhaps even used, Vélib' bikes to get around. The Vélib' scheme, launched and managed by JC Decaux SA in 2007, maintains a fleet of 17,000 bicycles used by an average of 85,810 riders every day and extends to over 30 suburbs. The running of the Vélib' scheme requires real-time back-office management software and a convenient, yet secure payment system — always the prime ingredients for a successful ITS.
What about the role of UBIFRANCE, France's export-support agency ? UBIFRANCE interacts with the key players in the sector, such ATEC ITS France ( www.atec-itsfrance.net ), a professional association that brings all the ITS industry together in order to shape the public debate and lobby in favour of future land-based transportation projects. Another important player is TOPOS, an association that is particularly active in the south-west of France ( www.tops-aquitaine.org ) and has a special interest in developing geo-localization in the transportation field. In fact, a highlight with an international dimension for the entire sector will be the World Congress for ITS in Bordeaux (in south-western France), to be held from 5 to 9 October 2014.
As Benoît Perino of UBIFRANCE sees it, "There is a high potential for ITS in France and internationally. There are a lot of French SMEs with great, highly advanced technologies. Our role at UBIFRANCE is to accompany them, so that they can meet local operators and authorities throughout the world and have their technology integrated into turnkey projects."

Twaalf Franse bedrijven gespecialiseerd in de downstream sector ontmoetten 25 en 26 juni belangrijke spelers uit de Nederlandse oliesector. Tijdens de eerste dag hebben de Franse bedrijven de gelegenheid gehad om hun producten te presenteren aan inkopers van Total E & P Nederland en Aramco Overseas (de inkoop centrale van Saudi Aramco groep is gevestigd in Den Haag). De bijeenkomsten waren enerzijds een gelegenheid om de procedures en de inkoopstrategie van Total E & P NL en Aramco Overseas toe te lichten en anderzijds ook om Franse bedrijven in contact te brengen met inkopers middels individuele afspraken.
Na een netwerk- en WK avond, werden de vooraf door Shell geselecteerde deelnemers bij Shell Pernis ontvangen, de grootste raffinaderij van Europa. De Directeur Inkoop downstream Europa heeft de inkoop organisatie van de Shell groep gepresenteerd en het Franse MKB presenteerde haar aanbod in BtoB bijeenkomsten met 10 procurement managers en senior buyers. De operatie werd afgesloten met een rondleiding van de indrukwekkende Pernis raffinaderij, die altijd op zoek is naar nieuwe technologieën en diensten!
Dit evenement heeft Franse bedrijven de kans geboden de inkoop- en selectie procedures en behoeften van deze organisatie te leren kennen en heeft aanleiding gegeven tot offertes en zakelijke transacties.

There is Total and then there are the others. That is how some people blindly underestimate the Oil & Gas sector in France. Fortunately, the French landscape for this sector is far richer than that. "What people need to know is that the French offer is positioned among the leaders worldwide," explains Agnès Hagyak, Project Manager for Hydrocarbons at Ubifrance . France's para-petroleum sector includes over 400 enterprises and creates 55 000 jobs that are "highly qualified at the technical and scientific level," according to Agnès Hagyak.
In terms of exports, France even has the 2 nd biggest para-petroleum sector in the world, behind N° 1, the United States. France equals Norway and the United Kingdom. French suppliers account for 90% of their total turnover in exports. Total and GDF Suez, among the major players in the world, naturally draw a lot of attention. Yet there are also many French companies that are not as well known, but who deliver high performance internationally.
"France's para-petroleum sector includes over 400 enterprises and creates 55 000 jobs that are highly qualified at the technical and scientific level"
Many of them are SMEs who display a very high level of technical expertise . These companies are a hotbed of creativity. When it comes to covering needs in technologies, in equipment and services required for exploring, producing, transporting and refining hydrocarbons, the French offer is considered as top-notch.
French know-how is especially recognized in the area of offshore and deep water drilling, in fact, for any sort of high sea platform. French companies, thoroughly international, can easily position themselves on very specific niches. They are not at all afraid of customizing their solutions. Quite the contrary!
For example, there is the Bardot Group, An SME with international presence, specialized in para-petroleum equipment. In particular, it makes tooling with technical polymers and structures that are soldered by robotic equipment, along with the development of the means to attach and assemble these structures. With such expertise on this niche market, Bardot Group has managed to work on sites in Angola, Texas, Brazil and Malaysia. And BARDOT is hardly the only French company capable of such international success.
Nexans, is a specialist in making cables required by the sector. Expert in electrical engineering (automated solutions, instrumentation and command system) CEGELEC works very successfully on international projects. There are still other players in the market: Air Liquide, Bureau Veritas, Entrepose projets, Ponticelli, all renowned companies.
France has strengthened its presence on the international exhibition of Intelligent Transportation Systems "Intertraffic Amsterdam" (25-28 March 2014, 800 exhibitors, 26 000 visitors).
Eleven French companies working in the industries of signaling, electrical transport and urban planning were represented on the French pavilion. It was a great success for all exhibito rs, with many business projects being initiated.
The French pavilion had the honor to host delegations of international ITS stakeholders, particularly Russian and Colombian decision makers interested in the French technologies. The cocktail organized by UBIFRANCE, after the visit of Russian institutionals and CEOs, was a great opportunity to build relationships with the main players of this high potential market.

No not the Japanese Candy toys where you get a sugar pill with a cheap but often cool toy. Just me picking at Halloween candy and making self space. Granted I am really stretching for self space now and really need my own place but I still manged to reorder my collection and have fun. Still the more I mess with my toys the more I have good ideas for photos but just can't get them to come across as I want. Stands for the figures don't work for me. I see promotional art of toys doing epic kicks my stands just cave in. Having two square off always feels weird yet I've seen other people's photos and they look great to me. I need to figure out how they do it or invent my own way of getting figures into stances I want, like being in mid air. Hell sometimes standing relaxed is hard. Anyone got any advice?

More Kunfunky Chicken Really Fried This Time
20 minutes
2 large boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts, or ready made thin cutlets to make life easy.
1 cup All-Purpose Flour
1 Packet Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning
1 1/2 cups Whole milk, Half n Half or Heavy Cream
2 1/2 cups plain Breadcrumbs, or more if needed
1 Egg
3 cloves Garlic, diced, or garlic powder
1/4 bunch Fresh Tarragon, chopped
Regular or Smoked Sea Salt, Pepper, crushed Rosemary
1 cup (2 sticks) Margarine for the pan
For dipping sauce: (equal parts)
Frank's Red Hot Sauce
How to make it
If the chicken isn't already sliced thin, go ahead and slice the breasts into thin strips the long way. If you want, you can pound them to make them thinner, but it's not necessary.
Mix flour with ranch packet contents.
Coat the chicken cutlets in the flour mixture.
Dip them in the Milk, but not too long or the flour will wash off.
Plunge them into the dry breadcrumbs, coating them evenly. If a corner doesn't coat, stick that corner back in the milk for a second.
Melt a Tbspn of margarine in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry up the breaded cutlets, sprinkling the fresh tarragon, salt, pepper and garlic powder over them as they cook on both sides.
If you're using fresh garlic, sautee it in the pan for a minute or so before adding the chicken.
Cook chicken, making sure to keep a good layer of margarine at the bottom of the pan or the breading will stick and rip. Remember, a general rule of frying is that bread loves to swim. Yeah, it's unhealthy, but it tastes good! If you want, you can use oil instead, but I've got ulcers and need to avoid it.
***As to not waste, we mixed the remaining breadcrumbs, seasoned flour, milk, 1 egg, and some of each of the spices, formed them into patties and sauteed them in the last of the margarine. These came out fantastic and you must try them.
We tried several dipping sauces for these: Balsamic vinegar, which was a'ight. Ranch, which was good, but it didn't seem like enough somehow. Mayonnaise, which was a lot better later when eating it cold on a sandwich, but the winner had to be a mix between Frank's Red Hot and honey. OMG. Seriously, just give it a try. It's pretty much a necessity on the wishmeat patties, makes them so much better. Try it, you won't be disappointed!!
