Changing Lives – One Chapter at a Time...
Sunday, June 26, 2016
Men's 4.0 USTA State Champions
The battle in Waterloo for the state championships is over. We won. Final score, 3-2. My team carried me. My partner and I played number one doubles and lost in a super tiebreaker after splitting the first two sets 6-3, 5-7. There were four super tiebreakers out of five matches. Now we're headed to the regional playoffs in Oklahoma City, August 5-7. The second place team was offered a wild card spot so we may see them again should we advance out of pool play. This makes me extra happy because I may get to take a mulligan on yesterday's thriller. It's an opportunity to raise my game. The difference between winning and losing at this level is razor thin and I'm thankful my teammates pulled out an amazing win against an undefeated team.
We are one of eight teams headed to Oklahoma City in six weeks. The teams will be divided into two groups. The weather will be a scorcher and the competition red hot. That's the way I like it. I grew up in the Valley of the Sun and moved to a small town outside of San Diego also nicknamed, the Valley of the Sun. My time in the heat shaped me and my caveman food experiment chiseled away all my body fat. My inflammation challenges from eating the wrong foods are no longer an issue. It's been nearly ten months since I discarded processed foods and anything with a label. As the oldest member of the championship team, I need all the help I can get to keep up in the 18+ division. Maybe someday I will act my age. Not today. I need to prepare for the next chapter in our fairy tale lives. Will the final chapter of the season end in Rancho Mirage, California in September, about a hundred miles from my hometown of twenty-two years? My team has a one word answer – practice. That's the story of my life – practice, practice, practice. Have a great day.

It's Game Day
I've been preparing for this moment all year long. The workouts have been super intense. Our local pro pushed us to our limits. Now it's time. We're one team victory away from a Men's 4.0 state championship and a berth in the regional championships in August. It won't be easy. Our opponents are undefeated. I'm showing up an hour early to stretch and get ready. Win or lose, it will be a day I never forget. My date with destiny is here. Have a great day.

Last Day of Preparation for the Championships
It's the last day of preparation for our playoff match in Waterloo tomorrow. One of my tennis buddies is with me today and we're headed to the courts for a fun workout. Life doesn't get much better than this. I'm thankful my community leaders stepped up and repaired our dilapidated tennis courts near my home. The courts are amazing. I'm hoping for good weather on the 4th of July so I can get my family on the courts for more fun in the sun. Have a great day.

Does Your Life Look Like a Movie Script?
It's been sixteen years since Tom Hanks and his buddy, Wilson, were castaways on a remote island. His transformation from overweight workaholic executive to ultra-fit tropical island Tarzan look-alike almost looks to good to be true for most couch potato Americans. This movie script is no fairy tale for me – it's my life. I even have a sidekick named Wilson.
Tom Hanks spent four years living in a remote place far away from the life he once knew to transform himself. That's how long I've been living in Iowa, a place similar to where the script ended for Tom Hank's character in the movie Castaway. I may not have long scraggly hair or a beard but I do have a new body thirty-five pounds lighter that comes from eating like our caveman ancestors. Tom Hanks worked out two hours a day and ate mostly vegetables in order to earn millions of dollars for his role but my motivation is profound – survival. I needed to rid my body of dangerous inflammation caused by eating processed foods. My old eating habits would have sunk me if I didn't follow the script prescribed by a doctor who believed he could help me find my inner caveman. I'm glad I answered the casting call. Now it's time to bring Wilson with me to our championship playoff match on Saturday. Mrs. Caveman will be in the spectator section. I'm living happily ever after. Tom Hanks can have his millions for playing a caveman. I'm content to live like one with Wilson and Mrs. Caveman at my side. That's my own personal movie script. What's yours? Have a great day.

Physical Challenges Ahead
I'm three days away from the next physical challenge for our men's tennis team. It's the second step in our quest for a national championship. I'm ready. The food program I'm experimenting with is keeping me lean and mean. I need all the help I can get because I'm the oldest member of the team and we're competing in the 18+ division. The difference between winning and losing may come down to diet and training. I'd like to thank all the people responsible for inspiring me to do this and my team captain for believing in me when he first met me. I was a happy guy socializing on the tennis courts with men much older than me, some in their 70's and 80's. It was the first time I was eligible to play in the senior group and four bucks for an hour and a half of indoor tennis was a deal. I guess senior tennis will have to be on hold for a while until our team completes our mission. Stay tuned. There are some amazing challenges ahead. Have a great day.

Paper or Plastic?
Yesterday we introduced a new credit card at my day job and the reviews are coming in. I understand the tight rope others walk choosing paper or plastic. Those free offers flood the mail box with all kinds of smoking deals but they can be dangerous carcinogens for the undisciplined. If credit card debt is a disease, I'm a stage IV survivor. The smell of plastic turns me off. But I'm also a frugalite and I enjoy using my creativity to save a buck. My wife and I committed to using our rewards card to buy gas, groceries and other purchases for twelve months. We promised each other to pay all balances in full. One dollar of interest means it's time to go back to paper. This is a challenge. If we stay disciplined, we can trade in our rewards certificate for a couple of Ben Franklin's. I'll let you know how the challenge goes. Have a great day.

My Favorite Kind of People
There seems to be one common denominator in the people I tend to get along with the most – they have a desire to be better today than they were yesterday. It doesn't matter where they're from, how far away they are from their goals, or how challenging their situations may be. If the desire is there to improve and they're willing to pay the price, I want to be a part of their pursuit. Maybe you're one of "those people" who want to lose weight, get fit or become financially independent. I find it sad how the "naysayers" gang up on the ones who like to dream big. What are they afraid of? I haven't spent enough time with the naysayers to figure out why they want to be dream killers. Instead, I invest my time helping others reach for the stars. Maybe that's why I love being a dad and a husband. The whole world may believe I'm a loser but they don't see the value in the lessons I learned from the school of hard knocks. It's all about continuous improvement. It's about not giving up no matter how dire the circumstances.
Thanks for stopping by today. If you have a goal you're working on, I hope you keep in touch. Let me know if I can help. Have a great day.

Red Cross Committee Baku Office reps. meet 7 Armenian captives
March 13, 2014 - 14:25 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Representatives of the Baku Office of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) met with seven Armenian citizens held captive in Azerbaijan –Verin Karmiragbyur border village resident Arsen Khojoyan, serviceman Hakob Injigulyan, and a family of 5.
An exchange of letters took place during the meeting, with talks for more frequent meetings with the captives under way, ICRC Yerevan office representative Zara Amatuni told PanARMENIAN.Net
Khojoyan crossed the Armenian-Azerbaijani border on March 7. According to preliminary information, he lost his way in a thick fog. The 23-year old is a relative of Mamikon Khojoyan, 77 who was recently released from Azeri captivity.
The 77-year-old man was tortured during his more than month-long captivity and needs to remain in hospital for the time being, doctors and his relatives said.
Baku has claimed all along that the elderly resident of Verin Karmiraghbyur, an Armenian village close to the Azerbaijani border, was armed and acted as a guide for an Armenian "sabotage squad" that tried to carry out a cross-border incursion.
The Armenian military and the village administration have laughed off these claims, saying that Khojoyan suffers mental disorders and strayed into Azerbaijani territory by accident. Some Azerbaijani analysts have also brushed aside the official Azerbaijani version of his detention.
On the night of Aug 8, Injighulyan, born in 1991, failed to find his bearings on the ground and crossed into the Azeri-controlled territory.
Azeri media outlets have since been spreading information suggesting the captive is unwilling to return to Armenia.
However, Injighulyan never mentioned his unwillingness to return to Armenia in a meeting with ICRC representatives, with Azerbaijani Prisoners of War Commission Secretary noting he sees no problem with the captive's return.
Armenia has repeatedly slammed the "interviews" with Injighulyan as forced by Baku and urged the ICRC to take every effort to help the captive's return, with no persecution to be initiated against him in the absence of crime in the act.

Earlier this month, our Office conducted a survey of Shaw's, Stop & Shop, and Hannaford grocery stores around Boston and region, checking on prices for a number of everyday items and Thanksgiving staples. We picked these stores because on an everyday price basis they are not the lowest- nor highest-priced chains in the area. They are the average-priced markets many consumers patronize. What we found was that inner-city stores generally have higher prices than those in the suburbs.
The six highest-priced stores were checked were all in Boston or Cambridge. At one chain, after a Gardner store was first, three Boston stores were the next highest-priced. Our survey showed that where you shop can have a big impact on cost, with totals ranging from $46 to $82.
Consumers consider a number of factors when choosing a supermarket to shop at, including convenience and location, customer service, services provided, and variety of items. But the cost of products is certainly a big factor. Weekly grocery shopping costs a family well over $100, and with food costs one of the biggest parts of a household budget, looking for lower costs is important for many families.
The groceries checked in the survey were milk, eggs, orange juice, peanut butter, bread, baby food, cereal, soda, coffee, cookies, tuna, flour, sugar, stuffing, cranberry sauce, turkey, corn, and canned pumpkin. In cases where the exact item was not available, surveyors checked an equivalent item.
There were fluctuations for prices on many individual products, particularly milk, which ranged from $2.59 at the Hannaford in Ayer to $4.79 at multiple Stop & Shops; Cheerios, which went from $2.99 at many Hannaford to $4.59 at the Shaw's in Gloucester; coffee, which was $6.99 at two Shaw's and $10.99 at two other Shaw's; and frozen turkey. Surveyors multiplied the per-pound price for a turkey for a 10-pound turkey, creating a total cost of $9.90 at the Hannaford in Leominster and a Stop & Shop in Boston, and a total cost of $24.90 at a number of Shaw's.

If it was possible PBF just cause they really dislike each other. I know the weight makes the fight basically impossible but damn. B-Hop would be on his s#!t for that fight. B-Hop would try to b!*ch PBF and I want to see how PBF would handle that coming from a real man who not playing them little funny games PBF likes to play. That is outside the ring but the battle of ring IQ's and skills in that fight would be incredible.

He should just call it a day. He has nothing left to prove frankly should have done it years ago.
If he does have a farewell fight, I'd suggest Allan Green. Hopkins would look fine against him and might even finish with a KO.

Hopkins could fight a bum for his last fight and I wouldn't get upset over it. He's already an ATG n had a career.
This is coming from a huge Hopkins hater too.

Street-Style Photography: Is This The End?
Photographed by Mark Iantosca.
Goodbye, street style; hello... "peep style?"
That's what The Guardian dubs a new kind of street-fashion photography: a more authentic, raw portrayal of street life that eschews the posed, perfectly lit, glossy-approved snaps by bloggers like The Sartorialist, Garance Doré, and Tommy Ton.
The article came out the same day that the Sartorialist's Scott Schuman and French photographer/illustrator Garance Doré (the world's preeminent street-style-blogging power couple) announced their break-up after seven years together. Is this the end of an era?
The Guardian cites David Luraschi (a.k.a "the Sartorialist of sadness"), who photographs his subjects — young and old, fashionable and unfashionable — from behind, and the London-based Alex Sturrock, whose subjects (a young girl with bangs obscuring her face, wearing a pink turtleneck and white coat that matches her pet ferret, a dad in khaki pants and a polo, an elderly woman in a floral kerchief) are almost anti-fashion.
And then, of course, there's Humans of New York, the immensely popular blog photographed by Brandon Stanton, who sets out to capture every single person living in the Big Apple, and posts their photos along with quotes or anecdotes. (Right now, he's in Iraq, and his images are beautiful and sad and blistering.)
Though these aren't necessarily "fashion" blogs, the fashion world is taking notice. Vogue, for its coverage of its gala for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, for example, hired not its usual New York Fashion Week street-style blogger Phil Oh (of Street Peeper) to document the evening, but Stanton. And, there once was a time when this kind of coverage was street-style photography: Look at Amy Arbus' influential "On the Street" column for the Village Voice in the 1970s, where she chronicled Downtown New York's weirdest denizens (she snapped Madonna and Anna Sui before either made it big). And, of course, there's the king himself, Bill Cunningham, who has been documenting what real New Yorkers wear for the Times for decades.
In truth, The Sartorialist and his brand of "street" photography will probably never go away. (His blog is firmly entrenched in our Feedly, at least.) But it will, in time, evolve to make room for other, less polished kinds of self-expression, fashion, and style. Which can only be a good thing.

James Clancey of Interactive Innovative Solutions, the developer responsible for the "aMusic" application on the App Store, revealed to Evolver.fm that his application, which interfaces with Amazon's Cloud Drive, was removed due to legal concerns. He said the software's absence from the App Store is temporary, but he doesn't have a date when it will be back.
Clancey is also the creator of another App Store application, "gMusic," that streams music stored via the Google Music Beta service. But an update for gMusic submitted to Apple for approval two weeks ago has been delayed.
The developer said he does not know why the gMusic application has been held up in Apple's approval process, as the company had previously OK'd software updates in less than 8 hours.
The report asserts that "labels were not too pleased with the way this app united Amazon's cloud music lockers with Apple's iOS devices." Amazon has not released an official iOS application for its cloud music service, though it does work through the Safari browser on an iPhone or iPad.
Both Amazon and Google opted to bypass licensing issues with the recording industry with their respective cloud-based music services. The services from Google and Amazon require users to upload their own personal music collections in order to play them back on other devices, though new purchases made through Amazon are automatically stored in the company's Cloud Drive.
The approaches from Google and Amazon are much different from Apple, which has opted to allow customers to re-download music on multiple devices rather than stream it. Apple also obtained the proper licenses for its forthcoming iTunes Match service, allowing users to match their personal library of songs with original files on iTunes, and download those songs again on any device at 256Kbps, for $24.99 per year.

BIG FOUR rivals KPMG and PwC have dominated the listed audit market over the last decade, according to the 2015 corporate adviser ranking guide.
Over the last ten years, KPMG has ousted PwC from top spot by way of client numbers, though PwC remains by far and away the most successful auditor when judged by the aggregate market-cap of its clients. Deloitte and EY retained their respective standings over the ten-year period, but with greatly reduced client counts.
The news that KPMG has been the most prolific plc auditor over the last decade – growing its total stock market clients to 412 from 354 – comes as accounting watchdog the FRC announced plans to investigate KPMG's work as auditors of failed bank HBOS. In the same period, PwC, EY and Deloitte saw their share of listed clients shrink.
PwC remains the top FTSE 100 auditor in terms of number of clients and total market cap – a position it has held for the entire period – followed by KPMG, Deloitte and EY.
"Perhaps somewhat predictably, the running order at the head of the FTSE 100 remains unchanged from 10 years ago PwC, KPMG, Deloitte and EY continue to dominate the FTSE top-tier, although both Grant Thornton and BDO have subsequently entered the fray – a possible pointer to the shape of things to come," the report said.
However, the report predicted that ten years from now, the Big Four's stranglehold on the FTSE's blue-ribbon clients "may not be quite so tight" if recent changes to UK and European audit regulations, aimed at disrupting auditor-client relationships, achieve the desired effect.
Among smaller auditors, noteworthy performances were attributable to both UHY Hacker Young and PKF Littlejohn – formerly CLB Littlejohn Fraser – Mazars and Jeffreys Henry; all of which made impressive gains and headway up the rankings. Crowe Clark Whitehill (CCW), formerly Horwarth Clark Whitehill, also recorded strong net gains in the period under review. Since 2005, the auditor has more than doubled the number of constituents it represents, enabling it to surge up the rankings.

U.S. Senator pledges to keep working for Genocide recognition
April 24, 2014 - 10:43 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - California Senator Barbara Boxer said she would vow to keep working towards the adoption of U.S. policy that recognizes the Armenian Genocide and that urges the Turkish government to do the same, in a statement released earlier this week.
"As we approach next year's 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, be assured that I will keep working to ensure that this unspeakable crime is fully acknowledged, never forgotten, and never repeated," Senator Barbara Boxer said in her statement, according to Asbarez.
"Recently, I joined a bipartisan majority of my colleagues on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in voting to approve S.Res.410, which remembers and observes the 99th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide," she said.
"I am proud to be a co-sponsor of S.Res.410, which calls the death of 1.5 million Armenians who died at the hands of the Ottoman Empire between 1915 and 1923 by its rightful name – genocide. In addition, the resolution directs the President to ensure that the foreign policy of the United States reflects an appropriate understanding of issues related to human rights, crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing, and the Armenian Genocide," Senator Boxer said.

A skilled labour shortage, under-resourced building firms and rebuild deadline pressures are contributing to a decline in Christchurch building standards, industry experts warn.
Registered Master Builders Association chief executive Warwick Quinn said yesterday a collision between the commercial and residential rebuild peaks was putting pressure on an already "acute" shortage of skilled tradespeople in the city.
Growth in Auckland and other areas was drawing resources away from Christchurch also, he said.
"The next two or three years are going to be the biggest for residential activity and, at the same time, we're getting increased activity in the commercial sector," he said.
"The Government's got its plans for all of the rebuild work they're doing and the private sector's got its act together and, as a result, the competition for skills is heating up."
Complaints about delays and shoddy work the association received were within "statistical norms" but could grow if the issue was not addressed, Quinn said.
The poor work highlighted in the media was "terrible" but not a reflection of the work being done overall, he said.
Complaints were mainly about finishing and slowness in remedying problems.
"That's not an excuse for not doing the job properly because [contractors] have an obligation to the homeowner to meet a certain standard."
The expected completion of the Earthquake Commission's home repair programme at the end of the year would free "potentially hundreds" of contractors, Quinn said.
The need to finish homes quickly because of people's temporary living circumstances was an added pressure, he said.
Riccarton-Wigram Community Board member Debbie Mora said an experience with poor workmanship had prompted her to lobby the city council to set up a register for contractor reviews.
Her quake repairs had cost $35,000, while a quote she sought from a separate firm to fix the paintwork, damaged floors and other problems came back at $12,000.
Bill Horncastle, owner and managing director of Christchurch's Horncastle Homes, said the quality and reliability of some building companies was becoming an issue.
Some were taking on too much work without the systems, experience and resources in place, he said.
"We believe that there are companies out there that are under-capitalised, and potential buyers should take the time to research companies before they decide who to build with."
Quinn said contractors needed to "not just be better tradespeople, they need to be better business people".
"A company might have been building half a dozen houses a year and they had that under control really well. They're suddenly building 20 . . . [and] they need to ensure they've got the quality control systems and management in place in order to cope with that growth."
IAG spokeswoman Renee Walker said insurer-led rebuilds were guaranteed by "multiple" quality control systems.
"There'll always be the odd case [of poor work], but in the majority of cases we shouldn't have because we've got so many opportunities to pick them up," she said.
IAG's project manager, Hawkins, had raised few concerns about skilled worker shortages within its group of preferred contractors, Walker said.
However, shortages would be more keenly felt now the rebuild programme had ramped up.

After reading the last review I was very sceptical as to whether to go to Cottage Bridals or not, however, as a friend had recommended it i went anyway and I am extremely glad I did. The service I received was brilliant, the staff were very helpful and made me feel completely comfortable, I was shocked at the amount of variety there was to chose from with the bridesmaids dresses. I felt I had to write this review as I disagree strongly with the previous one, I came away feeling completely satisfied and would recommend Cottage Bridals to anyone.

Monday with Mikey
Why the red Converse ALL STAR ™ shoes? Well….
RI president Germ has said that we are "ROTARY'S ALL STAR TEAM" this year.
The word "team" can mean a whole lot of things – but in this case it means:
Together Everyone Achieves More!
My first challenge to you is this:
- Buy a pair of ALL STARS. There are lots of options and prices online or in strores Buy them in whatever style or color you prefer.
- Wear them in places where they look a little out of place. I am not encouraging anyone to violate workplace dress codes. However, wearing them to events and in places where they're not normally expected is part of the challenge.
- When someone asks you, "Hey, what's up with the shoes?", tell them you're wearing them because you're a Rotarian, and then say to them, sincerely, "Let me tell you about MY Rotary Club."
- See what happens next. I guarantee you that one (hopefully more) of the people you tell about your rotary Club will want to know more, so invite them to join you for breakfast, lunch, cocktails – in whatever locale and format your club meets.
Together, we can – in fact – achieve more! Our first step (shoe pun obviously intended) is to do something that makes us noticed and causes people to ask us about this wonderful movement called Rotary.
My second challenge to you is this:
- I'll get it posted to the district Facebook page, website, and newsletter. We may also use it for some fun at District Conference and RI Convention next June!
Until next Monday, keep "Doing Good, Having Fun!"
Your Friend in Rotary Service,
Mike Chapman
District 6950 Governor 2016-17

Your roof has one job, keeping the outdoors out. At the Roofing Contractors Association of British Columbia it is our job to make sure that roof is installed correctly. In fact even if you've never heard of us, there is a good chance the roof you are sitting under right now was the work of one of our members.
In addition to installing three out of four roofs in the commercial and industrial sectors in British Columbia, our members are also active in residential roofing and architectural sheet metal applications. All of which is good news because the rain, snow and sun that make British Columbia such a beautiful place to live, belong on the roof, not under it.
People never think about their roof, until it quits.

New Delhi: As many as 207 non-government organisations on Thursday launched a campaign to protest against the recent Supreme Court judgement which criminalises same sex.
The campaign--`207 against 377`--launched by `Penchan` will sensitise various stakeholders including political parties, religious leaders, media and educational institutions on the issue.
It will contribute to the discourse on Section 377, which criminalises same sex and undermines fundamental rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people.
The Apex court had on December 11 last year upheld the constitutional validity of Section 377 of the IPC which evoked sharp reactions from gay right and civil society activists.
"The campaign intends to influence attitudes and public policies to ensure the protection and dignity of LGBT Indians," said Ashok Row Kavi, a gay rights activist.
According to James Robertson, Executive Director of India HIV/AIDS Alliance, "The fight against Section 377 will be a long fight. It cannot be fought single-handedly."
Referring to the judgement which called these communities as `miniscule minority`, Pawan Dhall, another gay rights activist said, "The Supreme Court in its judgement has cited the lack of numbers in the community. To take our legal battle forward, we need to document that we are not, in fact, a miniscule minority."
A transgender activist Laxmi Narayan Tripathi said: "Sexual minorities are full citizens of this country. Due to their sexual and gender identities, they are denied opportunities to earn a living, to study, and to access health services. The judgement multiplies the stigma and discrimination manifold"

Some of the Rising Powers have developed innovative strategies which have achieved considerable social development gains in their home countries, leading researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers to analyse ways of learning from their experiences and applying these lessons elsewhere, particularly in Africa. In addition to exchanges supported by traditional bilateral and multilateral donors, these countries are increasingly active in sharing their experiences directly through 'South-South Cooperation'.
This guide looks at research outputs in key thematic areas covering the role of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) and other 'emerging' or 'Rising Powers' in international development, and their impact on poverty reduction and social development in low-income countries.
Chinese engagement in African agriculture
A new Open Access Special Issue of World Development based on work on the changing role of China and Brazil in Africa's agriculture is now available. The work was developed under the 'China and Brazil in African Agriculture' project of the Future Agricultures Consortium (FAC).
Ian Scoones, joint convenor of the FAC, has written two blog posts around the findings of the articles in the Special issue, arguing that Chinese engagement in Africa is actually not yet at the scale sometimes assumed.
Read his blogs: Chinese engagement in African agriculture is not what it seems and Are China and Brazil transforming African agriculture?

DALLAS, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) – Firefighters were called to a downtown Dallas highrise hotel Friday morning after smoke was seen rising from the building.
Dallas Fire & Rescue responded to several 911 calls for smoke coming from what used to be the Dallas Grand Hotel, located at the 1900 block of Commerce Street, in downtown around 10:00 am.
Reports indicated that smoke was coming from the 4th floor and the roof. When firefighters arrived at the location, they found a small fire in the basement.
Officials say workers were doing renovations in the basement, as well as throughout the building when the fire began. They all got out safely.
The cause of the fire is undetermined and under investigation.

Nam Cheong, Malaysia's largest Offshore Support Vessel (OSV) builder, ends year with record number of sales.
Sales of the Platform Support Vessel (PSV) and the two Anchor Handling Towing Supply Vessels (AHTS) are worth a total of US$ 56.4-million, bringing the total number of vessels sold this year to 21.
The PSV and AHTS vessels are being constructed as part of Nam Cheong's build-to-stock series in one of its subcontracted yards in China.
The 5,000 dead weight tonne PSV has been sold to a new customer, one of the major marine services providers to the offshore oil and gas industry in the Asia Pacific region.
The two 5,150 brake horsepower AHTS vessels have been sold to Icon Offshore Berhad ("Icon Offshore"), which is one of Malaysia's largest OSV groups. Icon Offshore has a portfolio of approximately 30 vessels providing various logistic, oil and gas services in Asia Pacific. This would be the second and third AHTS vessels that Icon Offshore has purchased from Nam Cheong.
With these sales, past years' numbers are surpassed to register an all-time record high for annual vessel sales in the Group's corporate history. Datuk Tiong Su Kouk, Nam Cheong's Executive Chairman and CEO, said: "We are pleased to end the year on a high note, riding on industry momentum that has helped us win a slew of contracts for 2012. Again, our ability to capture demand and secure wins in a booming offshore and marine market, both domestically and globally, is a testament to our competitive strengths and unique business model.
All three vessels are scheduled for delivery by the second quarter of 2013. This latest slew of contracts brings Nam Cheong's order book to RM1.45 billion to date, and is expected to contribute positively to the Group's earnings for the financial years ending 2012 and 2013.
Nam Cheong is the largest shipbuilder of OSVs in Malaysia and with nearly 7% of the regional market share, makes the Group the second largest player east of the Suez Canal.

Best Sony RX 100 M3 settings?
Jul 27, 2014

But it would be nice if some shared, what they use and why here, to help novices control thinks better.
Also, I was wondering, when you choose a mode to shoot, like Program, Aperture, there is always a annoying message, explaining what that mode does. Is there a way to put that off?
