Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone is trying to brush up her Hindi skills for "Jism 2", and the makers are impressed with her speed and dedication.
"Today my Hindi lessons went pretty good. Felt really good about the session. Tomorrow I will conquer my Hindi," Sunny tweeted Tuesday.
The Punjabi-origin girl participated in "Bigg Boss 5", following which filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt offered her the movie. She is back in Mumbai to shoot the film, and the crew is excited.
"The direction department of JISM2 is super impressed by the pace and diligence with which @SunnyLeone is studying and memorising her Hindi dialogue," read a tweet on the official page of the movie "Jism 2".
The movie also features Dino Morea and Arunoday Singh.
SRK inspires TV actor's look
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan's look in the film "One Two Ka Four" has inspired TV actor Shaleen Bhanot's get up in the TV show "Sajda Tere Pyaar Main".
Shaleen first appeared as a drug peddler in the show and now he is seen as an investigative officer. To play the cop, he tried various looks and when the crew saw Shah Rukh's get up in "One Two Ka Four", where he played a special task force cop, they zeroed in on it.
"I always wanted to play a cop and thanks to my role in the show I am playing an ATB agent. I am a huge fan of Shah Rukh and I am very happy with this look. I hope my audience will also like it and appreciate my work in the show," Shaleen said in a press statement.

The U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security has issued an order denying the export privileges of:
This is a temporary denial order that is only valid for 180 days, unless extended. Although published in today's Federal register, the order is actually dated January 19, 2016. The Order prohibits the denied parties from engaging in export transactions, and it includes a prohibition against third parties exporting from the U.S. to any of these denied parties.
Absent a license that authorizes sales to these denied parties, sales of US-origin FAA-PMA parts to such denied parties may violate the temporary denial order.
MARPA members with a history of doing business with any of these parties should ensure that their future transactions remain consistent with U.S. law. While the Order remains effective, those who are approached by any of these denied parties should exercise caution in their dealings.
The customers will be there in Istanbul in twelve days – will you?
MARPA and the Association of European Airlines (AEA) will co-host a PMA meeting in Istanbul on May 25-26. By my count we have 29 customer-personnel attending the conference – these are air carriers and MROs that are interested in PMA solutions. You can see the current "early registration list" online to see who has already committed. And we are hoping to confirm a few more European carriers before the end of this week.
"29 customer representatives in an intimate setting like that? Unlimited access to air carrier and MRO purchasing representatives? I can't think of a better networking opportunity for a PMA company that wants to sell into Europe"
Customer attendees will include (but not be limited to):
Why are they gathering? To learn more about PMA and to network with PMA companies that can provide them with solutions. Why have AEA and MARPA gone to the effort to bring these air carriers together? To help educate the world about PMA and to help our members make sales to air carriers in the region!
If you've been dying for an opportunity to have one-on-one time with air carriers and MROs that are eager to learn more about PMA, then this is the conference for you. If you aren't yet registered for the conference, then you should be.
Looking for more opportunities like this one? Take a look at everything that MARPA is planning for the remainder of the year to help promote YOUR export sales.
Are you looking to increase your export sales? MARPA export promotion program is creating new opportunities to get your company and your PMA articles in front of the customers!
MARPA's export promotion program is in full swing. After productive meetings in Buenos Aires, Dubai, Munich and Miami, MARPA is looking forward to a series of opportunities to promote PMA, and to promote our members, around the world.
MARPA is committed to providing education about PMA parts. We want installers to know what they can do with PMA parts (and what they can't do). We believe that education about PMAs is the best way to promote PMA parts – the more the aerospace community knows, the more attractive PMA parts become.
But we also believe that it is important to market your PMA articles to the customers. Many of our members are small companies and have limited marketing budgets. So MARPA is working to increase the opportunities to reach the customers on a cost-effective basis.
This is not a complete list – but it lists a few of the most important upcoming events at which MARPA will be promoting PMA. These events are important to the members because they reflect opportunities to promote YOUR PMA articles, as well as promoting PMA generally.
There are many ways that MARPA members can start working now to take advantage of these marketing opportunities.
1) Start working NOW on putting together the paper and digital literature you'd like MARPA to include in their PMA literature packages. This distribution is a MARPA benefit that is free to our members.
a) Paper products can include brochures, one-page advertisements and short white papers;
b) Digital packages can include more information, including your product catalogues.
2) Register and attend the Istanbul and Las Vegas conferences – we are constantly working to get the customers there, so that you will have the best opportunity to network and make sales (and so that they will have the best opportunity to improve safety, reliability and the bottom line by using your parts).
3) Mark all of the the dates (above) on your calendar – we'd love to see our members at these events!
4) Consider whether you'd like to join MARPA on the Asian mission in November. Preliminary statements of interest are not firm commitments – but they will help us in our planning efforts.
5) Send us your ideas for additional marketing events and activities. But be warned that we may invite you to join the Marketing Committee!
We want you to get value out of your membership – so let MARPA know what the trade association can do to help you meet your sales and marketing objectives.
PMA manufacturers who are exporting their parts from the U.S. need to ensure that they remain in compliance with the U.S. export regulations. In addition to the BIS and DDTC regulations that apply to aircraft parts, exporters also need to remain in compliance with Treasury Department regulations.
Some of those Treasury Department regulations include lists of people and entities that you ought not to do business with. Every agency has multiple lists that you need to examine, but Treasury is doing something to consolidate its lists and make it easier to review them. This consolidation should make it easier to search to ensure compliance, whether you are searching on line or using a computer program to automatically research your business partners.
The Treasury Department office with jurisdiction over export programs is the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC). OFAC has a list of Specially Designated Nationals (SDNs) as well as other (non-SDN) sanctions lists. OFAC is now offering all of its non-SDN sanctions lists in a consolidated set of data files called the Consolidated Sanctions List. This consolidated list will include the following:
OFAC announced that it plans to discontinue some of these lists as separate lists, so they will only be available as part of the consolidated list.
Persons seeking to check whether there are OFAC sanctions that might apply to their transaction should be sure to check their export business partners (by personal name and company name) against the Specially Designated Nationals List and the Consolidated Sanctions List.
One can also use the Sanctions List Search which consolidates both lists into a single searchable database. This tool is useful because it can automatically search for names that are close (bot not exact matches) and can be set to find matches with different levels of confidence (which will then be reviewed by a human to assess whether they actually match).
Exporters should also check the details of their transaction (including destination country) against the Sanctions Programs and Country Information page, which list sanctions programs based on country and on certain other criteria.
MARPA is proud to announce that it is the recipient of a $300,000 matching grant from the Department of Commerce International Trade Administration Market Development Cooperator Program! MARPA was one of eight recipients of funding under the Market Development Cooperator Program (MDCP), which is intended to help organizations boost exports and create U.S. jobs. With the receipt of this assistance, MARPA plans to implement a number of initiatives to help grow the international PMA market and most importantly help our members grow their businesses by exporting more PMA parts!
The first of these initiatives will be to establish a European MARPA Conference, similar to the MARPA Annual Conference held in Las Vegas. Our current target is for the inaugural MARPA Europe conference to occur in May 2015, in Istanbul, Turkey. The primary goal of MARPA Europe will be to bring together PMA manufacturers (our members) and customers from both Europe and the Middle East. Air carriers reliably account for 25% of our Las Vegas attendees, and we expect to meet or exceed that rate at MARPA Europe.
Another initiative will be to lead educational missions to regions that present an opportunity for expanded PMA penetration. These include Japan, China, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. MARPA will lead technical and regulatory seminars explaining the benefits of PMA and the way PMAs fit within the regulatory framework of the various countries we visit. MARPA also plans to attend regional MRO shows and other trade shows to educate the global aviation industry about the benefits of PMA.
Finally, MARPA will work with our partners and air carrier contacts to continue to bring more air carriers to both the MARPA Annual Conference in Las Vegas as well as MARPA Europe. The significant and growing attendance by air carriers at MARPA's conferences make them the premiere events for PMA manufacturers to meet and network with air carriers in an intimate setting.
Of course nothing in life is free! One very important element of MARPA's participation is the MDCP program will be measuring the effects our efforts have on growing the export PMA market. In a previous post we explained that MARPA would begin collecting export data from our members to get a better idea of the global PMA market share and identify to what market PMAs were being sold and where opportunities lay. As a part of our commitment to the Commerce Department, MARPA will track and measure the increases in exports reported by our members. This will be an important part of the next three years, as MARPA works closely with the Commerce Department to grow exports of PMA. MARPA will also need the help of its members to collect and report accurate data to measure the effects of our initiatives. We will be working with our members to help them increase their exposure to foreign markets and increase their exports in order to optimize the return on the Commerce Department's investment as well as to develop accurate PMA export data.
Fred Elliot from the Department of Commerce and Ryan Aggergaard from MARPA will be on hand at the MARPA 2014 Annual Conference in Las Vegas to discuss some of MARPA's planned initiatives and the requirements related to the award of the MDCP grant, as well as to answer member questions on how they can benefit from MARPA's new programs. We look forward to seeing you there!
As the sole trade association representing the PMA industry, MARPA receives many inquiries from both industry and regulators regarding the economic effect of the PMA industry. Among the most frequent question is to the extent PMA parts are exported to other countries. Because the aerospace industry is such a large exporter, information regarding economic effect is useful in helping to shape policy and build support for the industry.
Unfortunately, MARPA does not have a significant pool of data from which to report or draw conclusions when approached with questions about economic effects and export statistics. Although we have data from a handful of members and plenty of anecdotal evidence to support the PMA industry's positive economic effect, we lack significant hard data from which to draw any statistical conclusions. We would like to change this.
MARPA is therefore beginning an initiative to collect export data from our members to begin developing statistical data specific to the PMA industry. Rather than relying on information from aerospace trade publications or industry forecasting groups, which tend to focus on the aerospace industry as a whole without distinguishing PMA, MARPA seeks to develop a PMA-specific industry analysis.
But to develop and perform such economic export analyses, we need the help of our members. We will therefore be requesting that our members provide to us economic export data about their businesses. Such data would include, for example, to which countries you export, revenue derived from export, and percentage of total revenue derived from exports.
Of course, there is nothing more important to MARPA than a robust and competitive PMA industry. With that in mind, all information submitted to MARPA will be kept strictly confidential, and used only for overall statistical analysis. No company names, data, or strategies will ever be disclosed, either to other members, regulators, or the public in general. We understand and appreciate how important confidentiality is, and how much value is placed in keeping data about your business private.
The more data we obtain the better we will be able to promote the benefits of PMA, open new markets and expand existing markets, continue to build the trust of industry, and gain the support of regulators. We cannot do any of this without the support of our members.
We will be discussing this initiative further at the MARPA Annual Conference in Las Vegas, just a little more than a month away. But in the meantime, if you have data readily available, or have any questions about this initiative, you can email them to Ryan Aggergaard at MARPA at email@example.com. We look forward to hearing from you, and continuing to build the future of PMA.
The U.S. Commerce Department will hold a webinar on November 29 to discuss the effect of European Evironmental Regulations on U.S. Aerospace companies.
The European Union has a regulation called the REACH regulation. REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation & restriction of CHemicals.
REACH imposes certain obligations on companies that manufacture certain chemicals in Europe, and on companies that import certain chemicals into Europe. Under REACH, the continued marketing of substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) requires an authorization. Businesses active in the aerospace marketplace use a number of substances that are being considered for SVHC classification, and unauthorized import into Europe of such substances could violate REACH.
For more information, see the notice on the Commerce Department website.
MARPA has reported on, and vocally supported, the Administration's plans to revise the U.S. export rules in a way that makes it less complex to export aircraft parts.
The Hill Reports that the Administration is getting ready to publish the first of these export revisions.
Those of you who've seen me speak on export law in the past year know that I have been predicting that the Administration will take far less than the normal 18 months to publish the final rule in the export reform provisions. While most people deride election cycle politics for its emphasis on form over substance, and a tendency for both parties to block partisan gains that might help the other earn votes, this is one situation where election year politics work in our favor. The Administration would like to be able to take credit for making it easier for businesses to export products, in order to show that they are not anti-business. The export reforms will do just that.
If the final rule looks like the proposal, then it will ease unnecessary burdens on the export of many dual-use aircraft parts. With many dual-use aircraft parts (replacement parts that can be installed on both civilian and military aircraft), their precise placement into BIS or DDTC jurisdiction can be ambiguous, and can be based on facts that are not readily available to many exporters. For example, the mechanism for obtaining a license to export a replacement part that is listed on both a military engine design and a civilian engine design (approved by the FAA) is very ambiguous, because it can be unclear whether the FAA exception applies [originally published in the 1979 Export Administion Act section 17(c), the exception has been turned into a rubik's cube with contradictory guidance].
The proposed rule would move all of the dual use aircraft parts into BIS jurisdiction, leaving only parts with a clear defense mission in the jurisdiction of DDTC.
This is important to exporters because (1) many BIS exports do not need a license while nearly all DDTC exports require a license, and (2) even if a license is necessary, it is far quicker and easier to obtain a license from BIS than it is from DDTC. It is also useful because there has been a lot of confusion about which agency's rules must be followed for certain aircraft parts, and the reform would make the pathway to compliance much more clear.
At the MARPA Conference, Kevin Cox of LarsenAllen mentioned IC-DISCs as a way to minimize federal taxes on profits from exports. After his presentation, I asked if his organization could provide us with more information, because this seemed like a useful structure for MARPA members performing significant exports. In response, his colleague Steve Roark wrote us the following article describing the IC-DISC and the way that a US exporter can use an IC-DISC to reduce its tax obligation. Contact information for LarsenAllen is at the bottom of the article.
Manufacturers and distributors work hard to provide products and services competitive in the global economy. Now more than ever, generating foreign sales is a necessary component to growth. Competition for export sales is burdened by many factors including foreign competition, tariffs, fees, foreign taxes and so forth. Wouldn't it be great if companies could get a break from this burden? The rallying cry by many companies is that Congress needs to act now to allow U.S. manufacturers to be more competitive in the global market. Well, Congress did act – they just acted about 30 years ago. Years ago, congress recognized the growing disparity in global competition and provided a way to help compete on a level footing in the face of these burdensome requirements. The vehicle to do this is through the tax strategy called an IC-DISC.
Organizations that have export sales can significantly reduce their Federal tax by creating an Interest Charge-Domestic International Sales Corporation (IC-DISC). It's a long name, but the concept is quite simple. By creating a separate entity, a domestic organization with international sales can defer and/or reduce their overall tax burden related to the income on these international sales.
The IC-DISC reduces U.S. taxation on exports of property originating in the United States for direct use outside the U.S. There are two types of sales that qualify. The first is for products shipped directly outside of the U.S. The second is for products sold in the U.S. that ultimately are added to a product that is shipped internationally. Many contract manufacturers and distributors are part of a supply chain that serves large OEM's whose products end up outside the U.S. Parts shipped domestically to these OEM's may also qualify for this tax advantaged status, even though on the surface they aren't what you think of as foreign sales.
An IC-DISC can be used in a number of ways. Some of the advantages and benefits provided by an IC-DISC include:
• Permanent tax savings on export sales. Although an IC-DISC is a tax exempt entity, any cash distributed out of an IC-DISC is taxed to the shareholders at the capital gains rate of 15 percent. This results in up to a 20% savings on Federal taxes on the income associated with foreign sales.
• Tax deferral on export sales. An IC-DISC also allows a company to defer up to $10 million dollars of taxable income to the future. This can be a significant benefit if cash flow is tight, or if you are a proponent of deferring the payment of tax to Uncle Sam.
• Means to facilitate succession planning. An IC-DISC offers a number of capabilities for executing a succession plan. An important feature of the IC-DISC is that shareholders can be corporations, retirement accounts, individuals or a combination thereof. This can result in an effective means to distribute cash to beneficiaries in a tax-advantaged manner.
It doesn't take much for a company to benefit from an IC-DISC. Companies with as little as $500,000 of export sales have shown savings from establishing an IC-DISC. In addition, the set-up and recurring maintenance of this strategy is relatively minimal compared to the savings.
IC-DISC's have been around for close to 30 years, yet they are not widely used in small to mid-sized organizations – why is that?
One reason is the misconception that they are too complicated or administratively burdensome. An IC-DISC strategy does require a company to establish a separate entity to report these international sales. The IC-DISC is a "paper" entity created to make the company more competitive. It does not require corporate substance or form, office space, employees, or tangible assets. It simply serves as a conduit for export tax savings. Customers do not need to know about the IC-DISC, and contracts remain as they are today. In addition, the transactions required to be reported in the IC-DISC can be summarized and reported once a year.
Another reason is that in the past this structure didn't provide much benefit. There were other provisions in the tax code that provided deductions for international sales. These provisions expired a number of years ago resulting in the IC-DISC strategy once again becoming more advantageous.
If you think this strategy may be an option for your company, it is important to act quickly. An IC-DISC is only allowed to provide benefit beginning on the date the IC-DISC is formed (benefits are not available retroactively). The sooner a taxpayer creates an IC-DISC entity the greater their benefits will be.
To maximize savings and ensure proper IC-DISC formation and administration, businesses that wish to create an IC-DISC should seek assistance from a qualified tax advisor. While the concept and administration are relatively simple, it is important that the initial set-up is done properly to maximize and protect this tax advantage status.

The State Department filed a proposal entitled Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Replacement Parts/Components and Incorporated Articles Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 76 Fed. Reg. 76 Fed. Reg. 13928 (March 15, 2011). The proposal was offered for public comment and MARPA filed comments in response to the Sate Department proposal.
The State Department has proposed to exempt from the State Department's ITAR export licensing requirements certain parts and components that are sent as replacements for an end unit that was previously legally exported. The proposed update of ITAR part 123 would specifically permit companies to export parts without a license as long as "[t]he exporter was the applicant of a previously approved authorization to export the U.S.-origin end-item."
The proposed exemption would permit original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), but not aftermarket component manufacturers, to sell and export replacement parts without obtaining a license. The failure to account for all market participants would reduce the competitiveness of the industry as a whole. As a consequence, the proposed rule negatively impacts distributors by creating unequal burdens on U.S. exporters.
MARPA filed comments asking the State Department to level the playing field, and treat all similarly-situated exporters to the same licensing standards.

Costa Rica
In-depth country-focused analysis on Costa Rica's economic, political and operational risk environment, complemented by detailed sector insight
In-depth country-focused analysis on Costa Rica's economic, political and operational risk environment, complemented by detailed sector insight
Our comprehensive assessment of Costa Rica's operating environment and the outlook for its leading sectors are formed by bringing together a wealth of data on global markets that affect Costa Rica, as well as the latest industry developments that could impact Costa Rica's industries. This unique integrated approach has given us an impeccable track-record for predicting important shifts in the markets, ensuring you're aware of the latest market opportunities and risks in Costa Rica before your competitors.
External Tailwinds Supporting Regional Underperformers
Core View
Central American outperformers Costa Rica and Panama are facing a more challenging road ahead in the coming years. As real GDP growth slows in Panama on the back of the end of canal construction, establishing fiscal discipline will be crucial. Should the country fail to rein in spending in an environment of lower growth, this would likely cool investor enthusiasm toward the country. Similarly, Costa Rica is also facing a challenging fiscal outlook - a situation which is only exacerbated by the fragmented political environment.
In contrast, our short-term outlook for most of Central America's underperformers is brightening. Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador will benefit from stronger US demand for their manufactured goods, rising remittance inflows and lower oil prices in the...
BMI View: We believe that Central America's agribusiness industry will continue to grow - albeit inconsistently across sectors - through to the end of our forecast period in 2020. Along the way, the different sectors of the market will be forced to grapple with an array of headwinds that will directly impact output growth across some countries in the region. As a result of rising incomes and growing populations, as well as an improving real GDP outlook for the region, we expect consumption output to outstrip supply in the livestock sector. Future risks for the agribusiness market include disease (predominantly coffee rust disease, or roya) and the potential impact...
BMI View: Passenger vehicle sales in Central America in 2016 will continue to be driven by rising private consumption rates due to remittance inflows and a low inflationary environment, but will be tempered by a poor business environment and weaker growth in the construction sector will lead to declining growth in the commercial vehicle segment.
|Central America - Fleet Size
|Historical Data & Forecasts, 2014-2020 (units)
|e/f = BMI estimate/forecast. Source: National sources, BMI ...
BMI View: Our consumer outlook for the region has brightened in recent quarters, as households benefit from low oil prices (which fuel their real purchasing power) and rising remittances flows from the US. Guatemala and Honduras, which have traditionally been vulnerable to structural macroeconomic weaknesses, will be the outperformers. Rising incomes will fuel growth in the food and drink sector, and the region will look increasingly attractive for food manufacturers as the rest of Latin America experiences a deteriorating consumer outlook and market saturation in the food sector. Thanks to its large and young consumer base, Guatemala will offer the strongest growth opportunities in Central America, while a strong tourism sector will drive premiumisation in Costa Rica.
Headline Industry Data (regional averages)
2015 food consumption (US...
BMI View: We forecast an average of 2.1% real growth for the six construction industries of Central America in 2016. The decline from our forecast for 2015 - 4.4% - is mainly due to a steep drop-off in Panama as it concludes expansion of the Panama Canal and a normalisation of a housing boom in Nicaragua. The region will still offer significant opportunities: the transport sector will see strong growth as development funds target regional...
BMI View: Growth in Costa Rica's construction industry will slow in 2016, as work on the USD1.4bn Reventazon Hydroelectric project concludes, and other major projects are delayed and fail to move through the pipeline. Project delays and a reduction in fixed capital formation will lead to lower growth rates in the infrastructure and non-residential segments, bringing down total construction value.
Latest Updates And Structural Trends
Growth in Costa Rica is set to slow in 2016 to only 0.5% real growth and then expand at a muted rate average annual rate of 1.8% over the next five years (2016-2020).
After six years of construction, the largest project in Costa Rica, the USD1.4bn Reventazon Hydroelectric Project is nearly complete. The project represents well over half the value of all projects...
BMI View: Central America's insurance markets differ significantly in many ways from one another, in terms of scale, development, competition and product composition. Growth rates vary, although most outperform more developed markets despite ongoing structural issues and currency weakness in much of the region. Consolidation would bolster development in many markets, as would innovation in low-cost products, including microinsurance which has a limited presence in Central America.
BMI expects Central American insurance markets to continue to grow rapidly in the coming years. Annual growth rates outside Nicaragua, the region's underperformer, will consistently hit high single-digit rates, with some sectors consistently posting growth rates in excess of 10%. We highlight Costa Rica and El Salvador as markets...
BMI View: We maintain a positive outlook for the Costa Rican insurance segment as a whole. Both the life insurance and non-life segments are poised for robust growth over the course of our forecast period of 2016-2020. Insurance sector growth will be driven by rising incomes, a positive economic outlook, an uptick in real private final consumption and rising discretionary spending powers of households that have growing disposable incomes. The life sector is poised to grow on par with the non-life sector in 2016, driven by a desire for savings. The non-life sector will grow based on demand for insurance of big-ticket items such as property, motor insurance and a robust...
BMI View: Legislative and regulatory improvements to the Central American healthcare system will further strengthen sector coordination, enhancing medical efficiencies and treatments over the long-term. The region's ageing population and dependence on pharmaceutical imports will increase foreign investment appeal as public health provision grows.
Headline Expenditure Projections
Pharmaceuticals: USD3.7bn in 2014 to USD3.9bn in 2015; +4.6%. Our forecast has been maintained since Q115.
Healthcare: USD16.5bn in 2014 to...
BMI View: The approved loan from the World Bank will help improve the institutional management and organisation of healthcare delivery in Costa Rica's public healthcare sector, as well as enhance the financial sustainability of Costa Rica's universal health insurance scheme. This investment into the public healthcare service system's operational efficiency will increase Costa Rica's attractiveness for foreign investment over the long term.
Headline Expenditure Projections
Pharmaceuticals: CRC446.94bn (USD830mn) in 2015 to CRC472.45bn (USD870mn) in 2016; +5.7% in local currency terms and 3.8% in US dollar terms. Forecast in...
BMI View: Number portability will encourage increased competition as four out of eight Central American countries have introduced it already. For further competition to be increased, the progress of this depends on national commitments of these countries. We anticipate slower growth in the mobile sector across the board with Nicaragua offering real potential. Nicaragua offers real growth potential whereas increasing government meddling, as in the case of Guatemala is a worrisome development. Data-driven 3G/4G services have true potential for growth as the large operators are investing heavily into new infrastructure and technologies for such technological uptakes.
Key Data
Number porting in Panama increased 37.4% in 2014, highlighting that the population is increasingly more willing to take advantage of better available deals as they...
BMI View: Costa Rica will experience a positive year for the tourism industry in 2016, with strong arrivals growth buoyed up by improving arrivals from the US, the country's key market. While we expect tourism arrivals and hotel growth to decline towards the end of the forecast period, we do not believe this undermines the fundamental attractiveness of Costa Rica's tourism industry.

About Fender Instruments:
Fender may very well be the most recognized name in the world of musical instruments. Synonymous with popular music, over the years, Fender has crafted many well-known instruments that have become known as the pinnacle by hobbyists, professionals, and collectors alike.
Founded in 1946 by Leo Fender, Fender brought the first mass-produced solid-body Spanish-style electric guitar to the market, and with that, wrote the book on how to do an electric guitar right. Today, their legendary Telecaster and Stratocaster designs are among the most respected and revered in the world.
Taking a look at the incredible wealth of talent that trust their sound to Fender is sure to make your jaw drop. Legends such as Keith Richards, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Randy Bachman, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Dick Dale, Johnny Marr and Joe Strummer all wrote some of their greatest hits on Fender guitars, while modern masters like Simon Neil, Tim Armstrong, Jimmy Smith of Foals, Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio, and Jim Adkins of Jimmy Eat World strap in and rock out with these incredible instruments. Newly released is the Jimi Hendrix Signature Stratocaster. Featuring the reverse headstock and reverse pickup pattern, this guitar is highly collectable if you're a Jimi fan.
Fender is known for producing an amazingly diverse lineup of instruments, so you'll definitely find one here that you're going to love. Whether it's a Strat, a Tele, a Mustang, jaguar or jazzmaster, these Fenders are truly going to bring your playing to life. Of course, Fender also offers an impressive line of bass guitars as well as a full line of Amplifiers, meaning they've got you covered regardless of which instrument you love.
They say the more things change, the more they stay the same. And it's true, a lot has changed since Fender first introduced their instruments to the world stage, but one thing has not, and that is their dedication and commitment to being the best in the world at what they do. Fender's reputation has been built on forward thinking attitudes, diversity in their instruments, and unbeatable quality that keeps players coming back for an encore. Choosing a Fender instrument is, simply put, one of the best decisions any musician can make.

HAGATNA, Guam (AP) — Authorities say a Guam woman has acknowledged using Washington state addresses on several income tax returns to cheat the IRS out of more than $2 million.
U.S. Attorney Alicia Limtiaco for Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands says Immaculata Sewell pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court to 11 counts, including nine charges of helping file false returns.
Limtiaco's office says the returns claimed several deductions, including the earned income credit and child tax credit. Guam residents are ineligible for the deductions.
Authorities say Sewell used a post office box and residential address that belonged to her sister.

Globe Staffers' NOTEBOOK Harvest Starts In Mo-Kan Mrs. Hobart Williams, 1017 Parallel street, is puzzled. Last year and for several years previously, a bush in the rose garden at her home yielded large pink roses. This year in- stead of the rose bush there is a lilac bush now about 18 inches high in the midst of the other rose bushes. "I'm curious as to how the lilac took over the rose so Mrs. Williams said.

Ground troops that searched the area found no en- emy casualties from the big air attack, military spokesmen said. Two of the giant eight-engine bombers were lost in a colli- sion over the South China Sea. An amphibious rescue plane made a perilous landing in 12. foot seas to rescue four surviv- ors and picked up the body of a fifth flier, an Air Force spokesman in Manila reported. Seven other airmen were missing, and the rescue plane was tossing on the stormy sea, unable to take off because of a damaged propeller. The sur- vivors were transferred to a passing freighter, but the plane's crewmen .stayed aboard to await a Navy ship. Vietnamese ground units clashed briefly with an estimat- ed 20 Viet Cong in the bombed area, killing one guerrilla and wounding 10 others. The troops also reportedly destroyed about pounds of rice, butnooth- er major results were reported. The object of the mission was to catch a large concentration of Viet Cong believed to be in the jungle. Some reports said it was believed accompanied by Chinese communist advisers. TWO other Americans were killed and a third was wounded today in the Da Nang area, a U.S.military spokesman report- ed. He said one of the dead and the wounded man were victims of a U.S. Marine artillery round that fell short. The spokesman did not know the circumstances of the other death. The B52 jets of the Strategic Air Command flew miles from Guam to make their first air strike In any combat. They rained high explosive pound and 750-pound bombs on the "D" zone jungle, a Viet Cong stronghold where the Communists were reported massing for a sneak attack. After the B52s, a squadron ot B57 twin-jet fighter-bombers plastered the area with explo- sives, fire bombs, rockets and cannon shells. The Air Force declined to evaluate results of the raid until after a careful ground check. Three 60-man units ofVletnam- es.e troops and about a dozen U.S. advisers were sent In to reconnoiter, and an estimated platoon of guerrillas opened fire on one of the units.

Charlie Riedel, Associated Press
Newton, Iowa — Texas Rep. Ron Paul received a welcome befitting a man with a suddenly serious chance to win next week's Iowa Republican presidential caucuses as he arrived in the state Wednesday for a final burst of campaigning.
His rivals attacked him, one by one.
If the 76-year-old libertarian-leaning conservative was bothered, he didn't let it show. He unleashed a television commercial that hit Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. In his remarks, lumped all of his rivals into one unappealing category.
"There's a lot of status quo politicians out there," he told a crowd of a few dozen potential caucus-goers who turned out to hear him on the grounds of the Iowa Speedway. "If you pick another status quo politician nothing's going to change."
The audience applauded, but by day's end, it appeared that yet another contender might be rising.
According to public and private polls, Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum is gaining ground in the final days of the race, yet another unpredictable turn in a fast-changing caucus campaign. "We have the momentum," he proclaimed.
The politicking was unending.
Two politically active pastors in Iowa's robust evangelical conservative movement disclosed an effort to persuade either Santorum or Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota to quit the race and endorse the other.
"Otherwise, like-minded people will be divided and water down their impact," said Rev. Cary Gordon, a Sioux City minister and a leader among Iowa's social conservatives.
There was no sign either contender was interested.
For months, Romney has remained near or at the top of public opinion surveys in Iowa, as Bachmann, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, businessman Herman Cain and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich rose briefly to challenge him.
Romney has bent without breaking in the face of each challenge, benefitting from his own well-funded campaign, attack advertisements funded by deep-pocketed allies and the missteps of his challengers.
Paul's surge represents the latest threat, and in some respects, the unlikeliest, coming from a man whose views on abortion, the war in Iraq, Iran and other issues are at odds with those of most Republicans.
At the same time, his anti-government appeal appears to tap into the desire of a frustrated electorate for profound change in an era of high unemployment and an economy that has only slowly recovered from the recession.
"In the last couple of weeks I fell into Ron Paul's camp," said Bob Colby, of Newton, who spent 21 years in the military and is a former employee at a now-shuttered Maytag plant in town.
"I threw my hands up" in frustration, said Colby, who added that he supported Romney in the 2008 caucuses and chose Sen. John McCain over Obama that fall.
In his remarks, Paul drew applause when he said, "I want to cut $1 trillion out of the budget the first year," and eliminate deficits in three.
"The debt is unsustainable once it reaches a certain point," he said. "...My whole effort is to face up to it."
He strongly suggested the United States withdraw its troops from Asia, and drew laughter from the audience when he noted Obama's recent announcement that Marines would be deployed to Australia.
"How long do we have to stay in Korea? We've been there since I was in high school," he said, making no mention of the recent death of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il and the resulting uncertainty about the nuclear-armed nation.
Nor did Paul refer in his remarks to his recent statement in a campaign debate that he would not consider pre-emptive military action to block Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

Cage fights, clay target shooting and foam dance parties probably aren't the first things that come to mind when you think of Orchards.
But when it comes to unusual evening entertainment, the somewhat sleepy area of northeast Vancouver is full of hidden surprises.
Whether it's grilling and playing horseshoes outside with the kids, watching budding rodeo stars hone their skills or shooting a little evening hoops, there's something for just about everybody.
If you're waiting for some suggestions to get you started, The Columbian Life team has you covered.
Here's our list of six things to do after 6 p.m. in Orchards:
Clark County Saddle Club
10505 N.E. 117th
Events: Barrel racing, roping, gaming events most weekday evenings starting at 7 p.m.
You don't have to ride a horse to have fun watching the riders at the Clark County Saddle Club.
Visitors are welcome to just pop by with the kids and watch as club members race their horses around barrels or compete to see who is best at roping, said Helen Cole, the club's chairwoman.
"They can attend at no charge if they just want to watch from the stands," Cole said. "Everybody's welcome."
Most of the competitions start at 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Many of the events also have food vendors, she said.
The club also hosts rodeos and larger competitions, which will be listed on its website.
Orchards Community Park
9800 N.E. 54th St.
Evenings until dusk: Outdoor grilling, picnic tables, horseshoes
Looking for a little outdoor relaxation? Orchards Community Park has a great setup for some dinnertime grilling.
With ample picnic tables and several permanent grills all you need is a little charcoal, a lighter and some burger patties and you'll be in business.
The park has some large grassy areas that are perfect for tossing a football around or setting up a volleyball court. It also has horseshoe pits, playgrounds, small trails and a covered area in case it starts to rain.
On the western edge you'll also find a building with bathroom facilities for all your after-grilling cleanup needs.
The Vancouver Trap and Gun Club
11100 N.E.76th St.
Wednesdays after 6 p.m.: Fun & Games and Practice
Think you have a good eye for target shooting? Want to, literally, give it a shot?
The Vancouver Trap and Gun Club welcomes newcomers, visitors and seasoned shooters starting at 6 p.m. Wednesdays for its Fun & Games and Practice events.
Trap shooting is somewhat like skeet shooting, where you fire at clay targets thrown in the air from various spots. The setup is just a little different, said Doug Dinsmore, club president.
"It's a lot of fun," Dinsmore said. "No matter how bad you shoot, after the first time you try it you want to come back and do it again."
The nonprofit club doesn't rent or sell guns or ammunition, although sometimes vendors show up at the evening events.
People can bring their own guns and ammo, and if you don't have a gun or aren't sure if shooting is something you want to do, that's OK, Dinsmore said.
Sometimes members will volunteer to let you shoot a few rounds with their guns, he said.
"We don't have a formal teacher but we have a lot of guys out here that would love to help you," Dinsmore said.
The range fee is $5 and 25 clay targets cost $6 for nonmembers, with discounts available for those who join.
The Zoo Nightclub
9310 N.E. 76th St.
Events: Cage fights, foam parties
Hidden in a strip mall on 76th Street, The Zoo Nightclub offers a lot more than the usual disco balls, dancing and drinking.
During weeknights, the club acts more like a neighborhood bar, with regulars hanging out, grabbing a bite to eat and enjoying drinks while playing pool, air hockey, shuffleboard and other games.
On the weekends, though, the other half of the club — with its large dance floor — emerges.
There's dancing on most weekend evenings, and once or twice a month the club also hosts foam parties. During the foam parties, foam flows from the ceiling onto the floor and dancers, who hopefully are not clad in their Sunday best, get to frolic in the soapy suds.
The club also hosts mixed martial arts amateur cage fights on its dance floor about once a month, said Brenda Turnbow, a bartender.
"We have a great time," Turnbow said. "We get a wide variety of people that come in here. Everybody's welcome."
Check the club's Facebook site for upcoming events and times.
Clark County Family YMCA
11324 N.E. 51st Circle
Events: Swimming, basketball, group exercise, baby-sitting
Want a night off from the kids? The Clark County Family YMCA has you covered.
On the first and third Friday of each month from 6-9 p.m. the facility hosts Parents Night Out.
Adults can bring kids ages 6 weeks to 12 years old and drop them off for an evening of supervised, structured events for $5 per kid for members and $7.50 per kid for nonmembers.
If exercise is more your thing, the YMCA has open play basketball in its gym every night until 10 p.m., a host of cycling, yoga and fitness classes and an array of weights and workout equipment.
And if you're looking for a little quiet time in the evening, the center has that too, said Jamie Nocula, director of membership and marketing.
"During the week at 8:30 or 8:45 at night until the pool closes at 9:30 p.m. we have the Adult Tranquility Swim," Nocula said. "They turn off all the lights and play yoga music. It's really relaxing. The water is 88 degrees, and people can just float or swim laps, whatever they want. And there are no kids allowed."
Membership costs range from $31 to $85, a day pass is $10, and starting Sept. 1 the center will offer punch passes with five visits for $30 or 10 visits for $50, she said.
Clark County Square Dance Center
10713 N.E. 117th Ave.
Events: Square dancing
Feel like learning how to do-si-do and swing your partner round and round on a crisp fall evening in Orchards?
The Happy Hoppers will kick off its beginning square dance lessons from 7:30-9 p.m. Mondays starting on Sept. 12 at the Clark County Square Dance Center.
The group teaches square dancing most of the year, but it shuts down in summer because of the heat, said Joanne Oja, past vice president.
"It's good activity, it's good exercise and you meet some of the nicest people," Oja said.
Anybody interested can just show up for the lesson, in casual dress, and they don't even have to have a partner, she said.
Once you finish the beginner level, you can participate in some of the group's dances and functions, she added.
Lessons cost $5 per person and participants must be 12 or older.

i have a 64bit windows7 and i want to run a 64bit executable which is not inside the c:\Program Files\ directory. i always get the error:
The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect.
i think this is because the OS treats it as 32bit although it is 64bit.
how can i still run this executable?

Even though music-driven games like Rock Band and Just Dance could see you engage in epic contests with friends and family, you still spend much of the time looking at a screen rather than truly interacting with fellow players. The only display needed for the Interactive Music Battle system from Paris-based phonotonic is an iPad screen to choose from banks of sounds. After that, motion sensors convert player moves into music – one providing the rhythm and the other the melody.Read More

With an abundance of kid-oriented tablets and high-tech toys, children have more reasons than ever to stay fixed firmly to the couch. While the popularity of Angry Birds and Minecraft speaks volumes for video entertainment's ability to engage, the gadgets that inspire beyond the screen perhaps don't get quite the same fanfare. With this in mind, Gizmag has rounded up some top tech to help keep youngsters occupied.Read More
Eizo is set to bring its newest gaming monitor to the market this month. Along with a suite of built-in "Smart" display technologies, the 23.8-inch Foris FS2434 is notable for its slimline 6-mm frame, which is made up of a 2-mm bezel and a 4-mm border.Read More
With both Sony and Microsoft having had their latest consoles on the market for more than six months, this year's E3 was always going to be about the games. There was a wealth of new titles announced, including appearances from Nathan Drake, the Master Chief and Link, as well as closer looks at previously revealed games. The sheer volume of announcements made during the press events makes it impossible for us to cover everything, but here are some of the highlights from E3 2014.Read More
Acer has announced the catchily-named XB280HK, its latest and greatest PC monitor offering for gamers. Not only does the display feature a much-coveted 4K resolution, it also packs Nvidia's G-Sync chip for smoother gaming and a range of other technologies that make it ideally suited to prolonged use.Read More
For decades, tabletop gamers have crafted characters, dungeons, and war zones using whatever material was available, from a pen and paper to sculpted metal. But, like many hobbies in the modern age, these games may soon be getting a high-tech upgrade. UK-based company Splendiferous Press recently revealed its debut product, the GameChanger, a damage-resistant screen that acts as a virtual surface for tabletop games, such as Dungeons & Dragons and Warhammer 40K.

Kids love tablet computers, whether it's filling yours with their apps, or having their very own. But no one likes seeing their little ones turned into screen zombies disengaged from the world, and people, around them.

Like a video game arcade on steroids, Motionators offers drivers the chance to experience the thrill of Formula 1 racing in a giant, lurching motion rig that simulates bumps, acceleration, deceleration and cornering G-forces – and crashes; very physical crashes, as the rather pedestrian Gizmag Race Team discovered. Thankfully we had budding US F2000 racer Scott Andrews on hand, who holds every lap record at the facility, to show us the way around Monaco.Read More

FedEx Corp. completed its $4.9 billion acquisition of TNT Express and will start integrating the European company into its network immediately.
The French ocean carrier received confirmation today for its estimated $2.4 billion acquisition of Neptune Orient Lines and its APL container shipping subsidiary by the Anti-monopoly Bureau of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce.
The seasonally adjusted For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index equaled 134.8 for the month, down another 2.1 percent from March and 2 percent compared with April 2015, according to the American Trucking Associations.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The 4,650-TEU Safmarine Meru, the first ship on the 2M Alliance's new TP18/Lone Star Express service, had only 400 containers on board, while the other ship, the Northern Jasper, was off-hire, according to Maersk Line officials.
The 12,500-TEU containership MSC Fabiola was successfully refloated early Saturday morning, allowing vessel traffic in the important cargo gateway to resume as normal, according to a customer advisory from shipping agency GAC.
Container transport revenues at the Danish shipping conglomerate fell 20 percent year-over-year for the quarter due to a 26 percent decline in average freight rates.
