Zentech to Perform ZAIMS Work on Brazilian Aircraft Carrier
Zentech's President Ramesh Maini announced that the company has been awarded a contract to perform an inspection and evaluation of the hull steel for the Naval Aircraft Carrier São Paulo, as part of the Brazilian Navy's upgrade of this flagship vessel. Zentech will perform the work using the patented methodology of its ZAIMS (Zentech's Asset Integrity Management Solution) system to assist the Brazilian Navy in assessing the sea-worthiness of the vessel's hull. The initial work involves corrosion inspection, condition evaluation and detailed analysis of the carrier's hull integrity, including the creation of 3D models to accurately map the results of the vessel's hull gauging for further detailed analytical work, and ultimately providing recommendations regarding steel replacement. Beyond Phase One, Zentech will provide ongoing assistance to the Navy through a five-year maintenance support contract. James Cook, Managing Director of Zentech do Brasil in Rio de Janeiro, said the work will be primarily performed by personnel from the Rio facility, augmented by other Zentech offices as needed. Zentech is currently performing similar work for Life Enhancement on a number of offshore drilling rigs for major drilling contractors, and has recently completed similar work for 63 PEMEX production platforms

iSPY is a wireless horse trailer camera monitoring system that will allow you to view horses while they travel in a trailer. With this system, you will gain the peace of mind in knowing that your horses are safe and sound anytime that you must be on the road. iSPY is easy to set up, easy to maintain, and perfect for anyone who must travel with horses. The trailer camera is waterproof as well and can serve many functions beyond its main use as a horse camera.
The camera battery is powered by fully rechargeable batteries that operate up to 3 hours! The mountable horse trailer camera system operates in low light and wirelessly beams its signal to the 4 x 2.5 inch (10 x 6.3 cm) color monitor placed wherever you like in your truck cab – the dash, air-conditioning vents and mirrors are the most common mounting points.
The iSPY Wireless Horse Camera is a weatherproof, fully portable, wireless and lightweight monitoring system. The horse trailer camera quickly and easily attaches to your trailer ceiling or wall to let you constantly monitor your horse when on the road to events or new pastures.
The monitors will tell you exactly what the status of horse may be and whether you're fine to continue your travel or that a stop is necessary. The most important thing is being assured that your horses are safe and comfortable when in transit.
The iSPY camera for horse trailer can be used almost anywhere. For example, when back at the stable relocate the iSPY camera to monitor stalls, fence gates and other areas. Wireless transmission between the camera and monitor can extend from 30 meters (90 feet) to 100 meters (300 feet).

Realistically speaking, you won't always have a good party. Assuming 90% of the people who play Lunia suck, and assuming you're one of the 10% good players, and assuming at a good party requires 4 of such people from the 10% and assuming you're in a random party, the chances of a good party is 1x0.1x0.1x0.1 = 0.001 = 0.1%. Of course, you might redefine good party as having 3/4 good people, which makes the chance 1%. (10% of 2/4) There's also the possiblity that you're surrounded by good friends that makes your chance of getting a good party 100%, but that doesn't apply to all people.

Physical attacks against some bosses are a bad idea. Stuck ogre lords and golems for example. It's also much safer to attack Kanhel from range than melee range. Some Knights say that it's not recommended to melee (this refers to melee attack, not melee skills) Kanhel because they can't use escape skill when he does something funny. Granted, you can go behind a boss if someone out damages you, but then, someone is outdamaging you. (which means your damage sucks if the other person is a healer, and there isn't always another person)
SSA and pentagon light don't even deal half the damage of Moon Pieces in the majority of cases. Let's estimate your SSA damage as being 50. Moon Pieces often does more than 4x that on bosses.

if you want to have more than 1 direct attack spell, you're considered hybrid, and this isnt the guide for you.
Firstly, what a FS healer is a mere classification based on man-made criteria. Your opinion isn't any more valuable than mine on what a FS healer should be. Also assuming that Sacred Wave and Moon Fog are direct attack spells by your definition, you should have recommend a flat 0 instead of 0,1, in your guide, a move inconsistent with your statement.

Just Dance 2
Just Dance 2 understands the platform and the audience as it looks to extend the success of the first game. Original interpretations of each song match strong presentation to create a technically compelling game for casual and hardcore gamers alike.
Getting a game like Just Dance 2 right is no easy matter. Although many would have us believe that casual games are easy to churn out - pile them high sell them cheap - the big sellers in this space are actually those games that have invested in both technical delivery and understanding of the market.
Last year, Just Dance took many of us by surprise because it sold so well. Revisiting the game, back for its second iteration, reminded me how many different aspects of intelligent design came together to create a perfect dance game.
The visuals set the tone for the game. They are clear and crisp, but interestingly shun the idea of including images of the original artists in favour of stock dancers. There is a double advantage here, not only do the developers save money on image rights, but they also have the ability to choose the exact look they want.
With this in mind, it's interesting that they went for more realistic body shapes, compared to the model-like original singers. This, combined with the flash stylised visuals, creates a look that is strong for both old and young audiences. Parents in particular would be more likely to let their children dance the Just Dance 2 version of Toxic than watch the original video.
The dance mechanic itself, which returns in Just Dance 2 pretty much unchanged, is simplicity itself. Players dance along in real time aiming to mirror the actions of the on-screen performer. One hand is coloured differently to signify how to hold the Wii-mote.
Compared to more unforgiving and exacting dance games, Just Dance 2 lets players improvise around the required moves while scoring them accurately for each move they make at the right time. Watch anyone play Just Dance 2 and you can see this is working - they could just move their hands to score points, but almost everyone quickly gets into full body dancing.
On top of this there is a strong selection of music from different genres. Because each title has a bespoke dancer and backdrop it really feels like the developer has invested time and money in understanding and presenting the song. This ranges from the robotic Ke$ha "TiK ToK" track to the Treme saturated Mardi Gras "Iko Iko". It feels more like a cultural experience than passing fad - which isn't something you can say very often about a video game.
Around all this Just Dance 2 extends its play modes to include a new Duo feature where players have different choreography to follow and an eight player team dance off. Other modes continue from the original. One I particular like is Simon Says where dancers are interrupted from their separate performances with particular commands - stop, spin, clap and the like. It not only makes it a much more challenging experience, but adds a little variety into dances that can become over-familiar.
Just Dance is certainly not a cheap cash in on the Wii's casual dance market. Although now they have had that success there are obviously a few pound signs in their eyes. Players can pay to purchase additional tracks via a download store. There is also a special version of Just Dance based around The Michael Jackson Experience.
While it's nice to have these ways to extend the game, I'd have preferred the Jackson library to be a download option rather than a separate game, and for these download tracks to be a little cheaper - at 300 points each that's around 3GBP a song.
Just Dance 2 extends the original's well pitched functionality and style to create another compelling dance experience. Provided they use the store to offer affordable songs and don't ring fence the best material to further disc releases, Just Dance 2 could well be one of the best selling games of the year. And for good reason.

Drug, device, and nutrition conglomerate Abbott Labs (NYSE:ABT) continues to oscillate just above and below the point where it looks like an interesting buy in the healthcare space. Valuation may not be too demanding, investors nevertheless have reason to pause before jumping into this name. On both sides of the soon-to-be-split business, there is real work that needs doing.
A Solid, But Somewhat Unbalanced, Quarter
Long-term holders may be content that Abbott basically made numbers, but I have some issues with how the company got there. Revenue rose 2% as reported (up almost 7% operationally from last year and about 8% from Q1), but pretty much every item except Humira was a disappointment to one degree or another.
Drug sales were up 2% as reported, with 9% operational growth in the Proprietary Pharmaceuticals segment, with Humira sales up 23%. Abbott continues to be exceptionally aggressive on pricing -- certainly helping to maximize the potential of the drug, but making it an even more compelling target for biosimilars. AndroGel was the only other drug to show meaningful growth (up 25%), but it's a relatively small contributor.
Although somewhat short of Street estimates, 8% operational growth in nutrition was solid. Likewise, while diagnostics revenue missed estimates on larger forex headwinds, underlying performance was in the solid mid-to-high single digits. Diabetes was soft overseas, but grew more than 8% in the U.S. and initial reviews on InsuLinx have been positive. Vascular remains a mixed bag; operational growth of more than 4% after backing out royalties isn't terrible, but the company is still waiting for the U.S. business to go positive again.
Below the top line, Abbott did pretty well operationally. There are some charges and expenses that create separate GAAP/non-GAAP results, but the performance was directionally similar. Gross margin improved almost three points, while operating income rose by 10% (adjusted) on controlled SG&A spending.
Post-Split, Both Ends Need Work
While Abbott has given investors more information about the upcoming spin-off of the AbbVie business, there are still issues left to work out. Key among them is how the company's debt and cash will be sorted out -- it arguably makes sense to put more debt with the drug business, but investors were not pleased to see in the filings that this business is actually less profitable than believed.
Leaving aside the capital structure, managements of both companies have work to do. Humira will be a dominant part of AbbVie's revenue, profits, and cash flow, and that's an inherently unstable situation. Even if Pfizer's (NYSE:PFE) tofacitinib is relegated to second or third-line status, the day will come when biosimilars, price competition from other a-TNF drugs at Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) or Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), and/or payor pushback take their toll.
Now, I'm optimistic that drugs like atrasentan and Elagolix and the company's Hep-C pipeline can contribute more than the Street presently expects, but it still leaves Abbott as a risky play -- arguably a bit too much like Forest Labs (NYSE:FRX) or AstraZeneca (NYSE:AZN) in terms of such high reliance on a very small number of drugs.
On the device side, Abbott has a lot of work to do with its U.S. diagnostics business and needs to augment its drug-coated stent business with other lines. Not only are Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) and Boston Scientific (NYSE:BSX) legitimate threats to the stent business, but it would help greatly for Abbott to be in some additional growth markets (even if stents and diabetes are very solid plays on aging populations).
Fortunately, this is a fixable problem - unlike JNJ (whose size makes value-additive deals in devices harder to find), Abbott can likely find more bang for its buck, and the combination of ongoing stagnation in the U.S. market plus the upcoming medical device tax should create a pool of motivated (or at least willing) sellers. I could certainly see Abbott considering companies like Vascular Solutions (NASDAQ:VASC), AtriCure (NASDAQ:ATRC), or Volcano (NASDAQ:VOLC) as targets, and even St. Jude Medical (NYSE:STJ) could be plausible, to say nothing of going beyond cardiology/vascular care.
The Bottom Line
Nitpicking aside, I think Abbott is a high-quality company floating between slightly undervalued and slightly overvalued. Right now, I see it as more on the "overvalued" side, though not to an extent that I'd be in a hurry to sell. Investors looking to commit new capital to healthcare are probably better off with names like St. Jude, Covidien, or Sanofi right now, but Abbott remains a stock well worth watching as it progresses towards its split.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Excellent 4.5 /5 from 483 reviews
I love this hotel. It is quiet luxury. If you go a couple of blocks, you are on one of the main streets in Barcelona yet the hotel is in a nice neighborhood where people live. The Metro is just about 4 blocks away. The service is I,pec able. Room service menu is limited as are the public areas. The rooms are ultra modern and the bed is cozy and comfortable. If you are fortunate enough to get a room with a balcony, you are in for a treat as the balconies are huge. There is a very small rooftop pool with room for 4 sun beds but it wasn't crowded when I was there in May.
Great hotel and good location. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room would have been good.
Very pleasant, staff were helpful, spacious room, great shower !

Title: David Crowe's "Rethinkng AIDS" group becomes ORTHODOX?!
Post by: Rod Knoll, blogger on April 11, 2011, 12:36:27 PM
As the fifth anniversary of its resuscitation approaches, the "Rethinking AIDS" organization, led by its President and small time political leader David Crowe, appears to be...um...RETHINKING its position on the spectrum of AIDS discourse.
On 21 February, 2011, Rethinking AIDS President David Crowe sent the following e-mail to supporters and potential supporters as an appeal for, what else- MONEY:
"Dear Fellow AIDS Rethinkers:
With your help, a new phase of the struggle against the destructive
hypothesis that HIV is the sole cause of AIDS is about to begin" (emphasis added)
In December, 2010, RA also added a new member to their board of directors, Dr. Marco Ruggiero, whose most profound contribution to the fight against the HIV fraud is his assertion that "...definitive evidence has accumulated demonstrating that HIV cannot be considered the sole cause of AIDS..."(emphasis added)
WOW! THAT'S really SHATTERING! I'll bet the AIDS industry is quaking in their boots over THAT statement!
For more insights into Ruggiero and his questionable science and ethics, we suggest you read THIS ANALYSIS (http://tig.org.za/Ruggiero_Existential_Virology.html) and THIS ANALYSIS (http://tig.org.za/Beneath_Ruggiero%27s_Rainbow.html) from a former prospective colleague of Ruggiero's with whom Ruggiero abruptly and inexplicably cut ties.
The following is from a recent e-mail from the Perth Group to its supporters:
Sometime around the mid 1990s, someone, somehow, changed the name of The Group for the Scientific Reappraisal of the HIV-AIDS Hypothesis to Rethinking AIDS. RA has been claiming Montagnier proved the existence of HIV, the virus is sexually transmitted, albeit not very efficiently, but is harmless. More recently 'the last two presidents' claimed they showed there is no evidence that proves the existence of HIV. But they also claim Montagnier did prove the existence of a retrovirus, an endogenous retrovirus, although all retrovirologists agree there are no endogenous retroviruses. Neither have they published such evidence.
Now, in its 'new phase' RA lets dissidents know that:
1. Montagnier says 'HIV is NOT the cause of AIDS'.
2. According to RA HIV is a cause of AIDS and 'Stopping drug use, providing nutritious food, are obvious solutions to obvious problems and a blood test is unlikely to help'. (There is no HIV expert who will not agree that factors other than HIV may cause immune deficiency and AIDS indicator diseases; that HIV needs co-factors, accepted by Gallo in 1986, and that all drugs, recreational, prescription and ART, are toxic).
In other words, in its 'new phase', RA has exchanged position with Montagnier in regard to AIDS pathogenesis. It appears RA is more devoted to Montagnier's virus than Montagnier is himself.
There are two main differences between the HIV experts and RA.
1. The HIV experts advocate testing. RA states the test for the very virus that is a cause of AIDS, "is unlikely to help". In fact, RA advises those at risk to boycott the tests.
2. The HIV experts claim AIDS is sexually transmitted. RA states AIDS 'it's not sexually transmissible' and advise those at risk to ignore safe sex education.
Since RA accepts that HIV is sexually transmitted and is a cause of AIDS, and the scientific literature shows beyond reasonable doubt that sex plays a role in AIDS, RA's advice is not only illogical, it is also grossly negligent. No wonder RA President David Crowe now says 'there is no RA science' and the scope of RA is not to deconstruct the HIV theory of AIDS."
The above facts, coupled with the fact that several "positive" former dissident supporters of RA are NOW taking the "anti-HIV" drugs (see: http://www.tig.org.za/index.php?topic=3.0 for more on this), leads one to wonder:

best pension plans in india buckle if desired to stop this. Based on reviews, I ordered a size up as I have broad feet, which was perfect. I love these boots and would recommend to anyone. Fantastic boots really love them, they are incredibly comfortable but also look great, very generous fit so great with thick socks for winter, would recommend. They are a bit small in sizing but are quite nice and comfortable. They look strong enough for Kansas City of days the heel inside collapsed Wear them for work, fit fine lovely. I got them for my husband . He loves them and says they are very comfortable and wants another pair . awful quality, one shoe was impossible to lace as the holes werre mismatched, and the heel collapsed on that shoe on the first attempt to try it on. If vendors are going to sell seconds they should be up front about it. VERY HAPPY WITH SHOE they are good fitting, perfect number and perfect size!Arrived this morning, just tried kitesurfing gear online just started slipping so I'll be gluing it in too. Apart from that no there were no other problems and they were a perfect fit. For 27 quid you can't complain. Well you can but I won't. I'm a size 11 in shoes and trainers, so thought a 12 would be the way forward, to accommodate thicker walking socks. But with only ordinary socks on, these boots are a little on the snug side. To be fair I have only had them a couple of weeks and I haven't really 'broken them in' so some stretching may occur. So, in summary - not sure if it is the boots or my feet that are the wrong size, either way the overall opinion is that theses boots are very good, well made , value for money, and, so far, waterproof.EDIT - Having had these for a couple on months now, and worn them regularly, I have to say the fit is really good now, they just needed to be 'broken in'. Also, I should menti babyliss curl secret review o stability shoes) once I wear them in a bit more. I have nothing against these shoes but personally feel they are not as good as my Brooks Ravenna 5. Have just started training in these but it is hard to change from a pair of brooks gtd adrenaline that have been really bedded in. These are a solid stability shoe but if you need cushioning also then you may need to spend a little more and go up to kayano or gt 2000. For the price though they seem like good value but only time will tell how good they are. First few runs my legs have felt a lot of vibration from these with little shock absorbency.I am hoping once they soften a little the ride will be better. I bought these for the gym as i am recovering from a snapped Achillies heal and now have a torn cartlidge in my right knee...Read the Reviews and it was a toss up by these or slightly dearer brooks,and went for these,and i am glad i did..They are so comfortable and light and great for the g.
kite surf shop mp and slightly muddy paths, cleaned up well and look great, at this price you can't go wrong
Bought these for my wife who would like to start walking to keep fit.After a few weeks walking she finds them very comfortable and would highly recommend them.
Love these shoes, as casual wear with jeans.Would have given it 5 stars but, BEWARE OF SIZING - looking at other reviews, I decided to order size 8 even tho' my size is 7 -71/2 and it turned out to be a perfect fit !
Very neat walking shoe at a great price. Please note that I am a normal UK size 6 however I found these two big and had to re-order a UK size 5. Very prompt delivery both times and the free returns made the online shopping process hassle free.
I have bought two pairs of these shoes and found them both great. Recommended them to a friend who bought a pair and his comment was it was like walking the dog in slippersd fit exactly as expected. Delivery was very quick, arrived the very next day. So comfortable and they look great too. Really versatile. Haven't seen them at a better price than what I paid either.
I bought these golf shoes for my Dad as his current footwear was causing him painful problems. After four full days of golf I asked him if the shoes were comfortable. His response - 'brilliant, like wearing your slippers on a golf course'. You can't get a b Michael Kors Factory Outlet use they are very light. They are black and therefore look serious enough for me to wear them to work. Also, the very thick sole is great especially during the cold spells, keeping my feet warm and well supported.
Tried these on as soon as they arrived. They were so comfy and needed no getting used to. They have plenty of room in the toe area, and will be able to take an extra pair of socks if necessary. They have an excellent grip, and they do look good.
feels like I am floating on air ,amazing product .
Comfortable shoe but a bit larger. Would have bought half a size smaller if I had known... not a full size larger. With thick socks or extra inner sole, they fit nicely and are very comfortable.
Being on my feet at work all day, the balls of my feet are often really painful when I get home. I think these will solve the problem as that part of of my foot doesn't even touch the ground when I'm wearing them! T www.mtnrunner.com ing so think there might some quality control issues. I'm happy to say though that the fault resolved and after being worn for a while they both light well. One other thing to consider though is that the lights shine very brightly and as they are on the top of the shoe they can sometimes be a bit dazzling, especially when it's dark. My fiancé finds it very distracting when he's driving as it looks like emergency service lights flashing when my daughter taps her feet together. All in all though they are beautiful shoes at a great price.
My Granddaughter loves the toes lighting up, they are so cute but just slightly to big just now!!!!
my daughters favorite pair of shoes. very robust and excellent quality. will be buying another pair again.
Perfect. My.
best online electronics shop ans 106 Vulcanized in the same transaction which are equally great.
I normally wear Timberlands, but wanted a lightweight sneaker-style boot for winter dog walks and didn't fancy buying Timberlands in winter (buy in summer, they're half price!!). These are ridiculously good, totally waterproof and look like £80 shoes. Sports Direct who own the Karrimor brand don't get the best press, but these are incredibly good. I have very wide feet and y are comfortable, solid and stylish. They are great for work and for going out in. Cheap shoes are a false economy. These feel and look like REAL shoes and I KNOW they're going to last for years which makes them fantastic value for money. They even have the Doc Marten logo embedded. Cool.
Too small, although labeled as a size 7 it's more of a size 6, caused blisters in both little toe and cut into heel at back.A shame because if it was correct http://www.theexpedition.org/nike-shoes-outlet with a suit - but they looked great. So, I checked with Amazon, naturally, and found them there at £52 - fantastic value ! I tried them on in a local shop to ensure the right size and luckily I am only a size 8 - from 8.5 upwards they rose dramatically to £97 ! Almost double ! I now wear mine with a suit when working in wet or cold but also with jeans and cords - equally good. They fitted well from the first wearing and I am delighted with them. Despite Amazon alerting me that there could be a delay in delivery they arrived promptly within 3 days. Great service all round.
Arrived very q http://www.mtnrunner.com/supras to small. I'll need to return and buy a 6.5. Not sure why this particular style is so small compared to other Gabor styles.
So comfy I have two pairs cant bear shoes that hurt
These aren't genuine, you can tell by the heel and the real ones are cheaper
Very fast delivery... came next day using supersaver delivery option. Very well made and extremely comfortable, however when purchasing do select half a size smaller than you usually are as they are definitely generous in size. Overall very happy with product and service ??
Brought these for work. Haven't tried them yet but quality of them is ace
Good quality item would recommend others to buy.
Great just what I wanted good value for money
Sizing is not very good.
Have worn these all summer so comfortable look good too.the sparkle and gold leather stops they looking frumpy, I have ordered another pair for next summer.

The price action of JinkoSolar (NYSE:JKS) makes a fascinating case study to witness a very cheap stock that Mr. Market is willing to sell for no apparent reason, for almost nothing. You just don't stumble upon a deal like JKS very often. In this article, I'll go through the factors that make JinkoSolar one of the best solar companies in the world, and position it to explode in the very near future. Comparing the fundamentals to the ADR price reveals a very distorted valuation picture.
JinkoSolar's business is thriving. Management has navigated Jinko to be one of the best solar companies in the world, while competing head-to-head with giants like Yingli Green Energy (NYSE:YGE) and Trina Solar (NYSE:TSL). Below, I list what makes Jinko a better solar company than others:
Up until last year, JinkoSolar wasn't a very big company; in comparison with Yingli and Trina, its production capacity was small. Jinko owned 1.5 GW of wafer, cell and module capacity in Q2 2013. On January 10, 2014, the company issued a PR announcing it had agreed to take over the assets of Zhejiang Topoint. Topoint was going through the bankruptcy process when the bankruptcy administrator invited JinkoSolar to lease and operate Topoint's facilities. You need to understand, by this move, Jinko immediately increased its production capacity by 33% with no capital expenses. This takeover of assets in China is something I expect to continue. The Chinese government is drafting M&A plans for the solar industry, and the big players will enjoy very cheap capacity expansions without increasing the overall capacity in the industry. Jinko's management guides to module shipments of 2.3 GW-2.5 GW in 2014 and the building of 400 MW of utility-scale projects. Jinko's module capacity is 2.1 GW, so it means either it is going to outsource the remaining 600-800 MW, or management expects further capacity expansions soon. In the last conference call, Jinko's CSO, Arturo Herrero said:
Arturo Herrero - Chief Strategy Officer
"If without continue to expand our capacity on wafer and cells segments, I think definitely I think it was scale time to looking for some good assets to expansion, but therefore I think it will beat up, increase our module capacity by the end of this year, maybe to 3 gigawatt to 3.5 gigawatts by the end of this year on the module side, but to wafer and cell, we're very I think great cautious."
Source: JinkoSolar Q4-2014 earnings call
If you manage to read between the lines of the transcript, Jinko is seeing an opportunity to reach 3-3.5 GW of capacity by the end of 2014. This will mark more than a doubling of capacity in just 18 months. This is remarkable execution, given the fact that Chinese solar manufacturers are forbidden to build new facilities. A capacity of 3-3.5 GW will put Jinko at approximately the same size as Trina Solar and Yingli.
The Project Business
JinkoSolar is currently the market leader in building utility-scale projects in China, the largest solar market in the world. After installing 213 MW by the end of 2013, Jinko is planning to add 400 MW to its project portfolio. I will walk you through my logic to understanding the electricity sales revenues for 2014. JinkoSolar is building and operating solar power plants, and selling the electricity to the Chinese grid. In Q3 2013, Jinko recorded $6.5M in electricity sales, and in Q4 2013, it recorded $4.9M. The difference in numbers was mainly because in Q3 2013, Jinko received a big subsidy. Excluding that subsidy, sales for Q3 2013 were $3.7M. A quick look at the Jinko project list follows:
Source: JinkoSolar Q4-2013 presentation
So in Q2 2013, production of 47 MW commenced prior to that quarter, 28 MW was connected in July 2013, and 10 MW was connected in September 2013. Assuming that both of the July/September facilities were connected on the 1st of each month, Jinko has a cumulative power production capacity of 78.3 MW. That means that each MW generated $47,254 in Q3. In Q4, 128 additional MW was connected. Assuming a uniform distribution, it's like saying there was 64 additional MW working the entire quarter. There was 85 MW working prior to Q4 2013, so our magic number is 149 MW, each generating $32,885. Why the difference? Q4 had less sun than Q3. A rule of thumb I once heard from a solar company CEO is that Q1/Q4 has 40% of the sunlight, while Q2/Q3 has the other 60%. That fits well with the figures we just got. So how many MW will be built in 2014? Jinko's management already told us that it plans to connect an additional 400 MW in 2014. Credit Suisse's (NYSE:CS) analyst was quoted by Barron's as saying that he is confident in Jinko's project business:
"All of the projects targeted for 2014 have permits and sites near interconnection points. Last year, the company interconnected 213MW of projects, above most peers with ~50MW or less. JinkoSolar has shown more progress in obtaining project funding for projects than most other peers, successfully securing CBD financing."
Source: Barron's
Again, I assume a uniform distribution of installations in each quarter, and sequential growth throughout the year. Seventy MW in Q1, 90 MW in Q2, 110 MW in Q3, 130 MW in Q4. Skipping the math, these are my expectations for 2014 electricity sales:
Electricity Revenues
Of course, this projection could turn out lumpy (it is dependent on grid connection timing), so using the yearly number will be more accurate. This projects $61.9M of electricity revenues in 2014. Given that Jinko is seeing 30% of net income from this business, we are talking about $18.5M of net income, or $0.66/ADR. Looking into 2015, I see the solar projects' net income contribution easily surpassing $1/ADR.
Balance Sheet
The management of JinkoSolar was wise to raise a very substantial amount of cash in recent months. In 2013, Jinko had a positive cash flow of $35M, and estimates its cash flow to be $100M-$200M in 2014. JinkoSolar's shareholders' equity rose 47% from last year to $332M.
Although the balance sheet is not yet in good shape, things are going in the right direction, and they are going there fast. With the support of China Development Bank and other Chinese banks, I expect Jinko not to have any problems operating until it becomes working capital positive, an event I expect to happen very soon.
Cost and ASP Dynamics
JinkoSolar is the lowest-cost solar module producer in the world. As of last quarter, the company managed to manufacture modules at a cost of $0.48/watt. The breakdown is $0.09 of polysilicon costs, plus $0.39 of non-polysilicon costs. Looking at Q4 2012, Jinko had a cost of $0.54/watt. That is an 11.1% cost reduction over 2013.
The ASP as of last quarter was $0.63/watt. In Q4 2012, the ASP was $0.57. That is a 10.5% increase in ASP over the past year for Jinko.
The current ASP/Cost environment lets Jinko squeeze about 23.8% of gross margins from the module-selling business. Looking at the current trend, I see the ASP coming down a bit in Q1, but going back to its uptrend, given demand is quickly approaching supply. Overall, I expect a modest cost reduction in 2014 in the range of 5%-6%. As for ASP, I expect a modest increase in the range of 5%.
My Projections
For 2014, my projections are as follows:
- Revenues: Shipments of 2.45 GW resulting in $1.62B, at an ASP of $0.66. Electricity sales are coming up at $62M.
- Gross Margin: I expect a gross margin of 29.6% for the entire year. Gross margins include the ~60% GM Jinko is getting for electricity.
- OPEX: Going down as a percentage of revenues to 9.5%, which are $159M.
- Other and Financial Expenses: Going down from last year to $60.6M.
- Net Income: Summing all of the above, we reach $279M in net income.
- EPS: Assuming no additional stock offerings, Jinko has 112.1M diluted shares. EPS is $2.49.
- Earnings per ADR: Each ADR represents 4 ordinary shares, so earnings per ADR is $9.96.
I really believe my model is not optimistic. Looking at the solar market fundamentals, there is no reason to expect a substantial ASP decline in 2014. All of the major solar players expect stable ASPs. Looking at the future of the solar market, it is expected to continue to grow at high growth rates. JinkoSolar is even taking market share and growing its electricity business at very high rates. So why does Mr. Market suggest we purchase JinkoSolar at such low prices?
From time to time, you stumble upon a ridiculous valuation in the markets, so much so, it is almost hard to believe. The skeptics will just say: "Hey, if it is so cheap, something must be wrong with the company." The thing is, old-fashioned fundamental analysis teaches us that there is nothing wrong with JinkoSolar. On the contrary, it is on its way to becoming one of the largest and best solar companies in the world in the coming year.
Even if JinkoSolar will trade at a P/E of 10, it could more than triple by the end of this year. Mr. Market will catch up sooner or later, as we can't anticipate his behavior in the short term. I'm long JKS.

With Beijing behind us, Islanders should prepare for the Vashon Olympics
off the beat
Well, the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing just wrapped up Sunday. The closing ceremony dazzled viewers with an oversized and fiery pyrotechnic finale.
And the Beijing Olympics was the most-watched event in United States television history, upstaging the second-place event, the 1996 Athens Olympics, by 11 percent. More than 200 million Americans sat glued to their televisions for two weeks, cheering for their favorite individual, team or nation in a panoply of sports.
But now, the "Olympics nostalgia" sets in. It'll be four more years until fans of weightlifting, gymnastics or beach volleyball can see the world's best athletes compete for the Olympic gold, silver and bronze in each sport.
In the spirit of the games, I propose that Vashon adopt its own Olympic games, to be played on the odd years when Olympic nostalgia is at its greatest. The events and the medals themselves will, of course, have to be localized to best serve the Island community and showcase the unusual talents of its residents.
First, Vashon would have to be divided into the teams that will compete against each other for the Vashon Olympics gold, silver and bronze.
One option, commuters versus those who work on the Island, is heavily favored by members of both sides. Loyalty runs strong in these two groups, it seems.
Another choice would be to localize the teams, as is done in the Olympics — Burton versus Ellisport versus Lisabeula and so on. But this could get sticky, since boundaries can be fuzzy.
Now, for the events.
You may not know it, but you've already been training for one of the events that will be part of the inaugural Vashon Olympics: the triangle race, from Thriftway to the post office to the dump and back again (to pick up that one forgotten grocery item).
Next, many Islanders are veterans — for better or for worse — of the deer-dodging event. This event will be held at twilight, and vehicles must travel the length of the highway, at or above the speed limit, without hitting a deer or going off the road.
This Vashon Olympics event requires clearing the highway of all other vehicles and any pedestrians, both to avoid raceway interference and for the safety of both athletes and onlookers.
There are several events in the Vashon Olympics that simply celebrate the athleticism of Island residents. Walking around Vashon and Maury Islands certainly shows an athlete's moxy as well as conditioning. The event on the Tramp Harbor exercise bikes test the sprinting and endurance of the talented Vashon Olympians.
My personal favorite is the muck boot triathlon, affectionately known as the Muckman. If you don't own a pair of these highly waterproof and highly fashionable boots, I suggest you purchase a pair immediately and begin training. In some
communities, muck boots might be relegated to the more agricultural of settings, but Islanders love to wear their muck boots to the grocery store, out to dinner and even to Seattle to show them off.
The muck boot triathlon begins in Burton with a swim in the Puget Sound, wearing one's muck boots. Then, with soggy and leaden bootclad feet, triathletes run a loop of the Burton Peninsula, followed by a bike ride.
Those who complete the race, the Muckmen — and Muckwomen — are surely as tough as those who complete the Ironman Triathlon.
Several events celebrate the natural beauty of the community. A particularly breathtaking event for spectators is the "big brush burn-off," when Vashon Olympians across the Island will simultaneously begin to light the brush piles they've spent all season accumulating — with only flint and leaves. Burn piles are judged for speed of burn, technical difficulty and flare.
Speedy blackberry pulling, though challenging, is rewarding when athletes realize they just finished the yard work they've been putting off for a year.
Geoducking is a perennial hobby of the patient and strong of upper body. Now, these wielders of shovels will be known as Vashon Olympians, too.
There are many more events currently under consideration for inclusion in the inaugural Vashon Olympics.
But why, you ask, would an Islander compete in these local and unusual Olympics? Recognition is the obvious answer, but there's more. The Vashon Olympics gold, silver and bronze medals are worth competing for.
The gold medalist of each Olympic event is awarded a golden ticket. This ticket is good for unlimited rides on all ferries, as well as priority loading. Never wait in a line again, and never pay a red cent for all those ferry crossings. These golden tickets are nontransferable.
The silver medalists are lucky, for they have a choice of awards. Each Olympian who earns second place in his or her event may choose one of the following: a silver platter, a silver spoon or a silver lining.
Finally, the third-place winners receive a fitted, customized, limited-edition pair of bronzed muck boots. These boots are as functional as they are blindingly bronze.
If the Vashon Olympics are to take form, Islanders must band together and fight for the right to compete in their natural environment. Make your voice heard.

BHB - Ballas Hough Band
- Summary
- Reviews / Ratings
- Photos
- Videos
- Events
"We wrote the majority of our album ourselves. It's not like we looked through a catalog and picked out some songs." To that end, the Ballas Hough Band's debut puts a deeply personal spin on pop, with songs like "Fall" and "Devastated," which recount worldly lives that left a trail of broken hearts. "When we first started playing our music for the label, our A&R guy was, like, 'Man, what's wrong with you guys? We need more positivity!' All our songs were negative and hurtful, because Mark and I have been in a lot of relationships that have really hurt us. We were just going off life experience. He was probably thinking we're not old enough to know, but we do. We get music from hurt, so we had a lot to work with."
To channel those emotions in the studio, they turned to in demand producer John Fields (Jimmy Eat World, Jonas Bros., Andrew W.K.), who, not unexpectedly, didn't have high hopes for an album by a couple of dancers. "When we first went in to work with him, you could tell he was pretty skeptical," says Derek, who was a big fan of Fields' work with Switchfoot. "He'd only agreed to do one song, but once we started laying down tracks, he saw that we could write and play and we had this great chemistry. We ended up doing nine songs with him." Adds Mark: "Once he jumped on board, it was like a freight train. He has amazing vision and we were on the same wavelength 100 percent of the time. Everything turned out exactly like I hoped it would." On the Maroon 5-flavored "Devastated" and "She Was The One," Ballas Hough Band worked with Eric Valentine, who produced the latest album by All American Rejects. "Where John is, like, boom, boom, boom, Eric is more about cool and controlled mayhem," says Derek. "He doesn't wear shoes, he's very soft-spoken, and he looks at music as a science."
Of the songs that aren't BHB originals, the first single, "Do It For You," was co-written by new American Idol judge Kara Dioguardi and makes for the perfect introduction to the band's pop sensibilities. "It's really catchy, like one of those songs you walk away singing that gets stuck in your head," says Mark, "It's rhythmic, hooky and huge." But he's perhaps most proud of the song "Longing For," the final song he wrote for the album. It features Mark's intricate guitar-work, Emily's wistful harmonies, tug-at-your-heartstrings melodies and lyrics that read like the love letter ever girl pines for: I remember the first time that you and I met / And the look in your eye was something I could never forget / When you're with me baby you never need to pretend / Tell me what do you need / I want to be the reason you breathe.
"We've been working extremely hard, putting in 14-hour days, playing two shows a night," Derek confesses. "But we do it because it's what we love. And hopefully, this album will speak to an audience who will look at us as singers, writers, and players. We want to be known for our music."

I am curious about something. You have two teams with needs - the Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs. I believe to get Jared Allen would go a long way towards getting the Packers to a Super Bowl.
The Packers should trade Williams for Allen and toss in one of the young offensive linemen, and even a low second day draft choice, and/or Vernand Morency for that matter.
I do believe that Allen would be worth it. This way you get something of value for Williams. Plus, the Chiefs get a defensive lineman and more critically a young and upcoming offensive linemen. If they want more as thin at running back as they are they get a backup for Johnson and an additional draft choice.
There, that is my rant.

Packers can't afford to let Cole get away
Regarding the article discussing Morency & Cole in relation to the Free Agency period which begins on February 29.
Of course, both players will be expected to compete for a position on the team - that's a no-brainer. But, I do believe that the Packers would be making a HUGE mistake if they let Colin Cole get away, especially. Morency has proved himself in some situations, and not so much in others, which is where Ryan Grant comes in. But Colin Cole is a whole other story, which I view as being very similar to Johnny Jolly and his work ethic out there on the field and in the film room reviewing video.
The loss of both Johnny Jolly and Colin Cole was incredibly devastating to the Bob Sanders' vanilla defense, as they made it not so vanilla. My hats are off to Corey Williams, and especially Ryan Pickett for holding the line. But having Jolly & Cole (both) in there was a godsend.
Back when Cole came onboard, it took about three games, and I was ready to hand him the Gilbert Brown gravedigger shovel. (IPB actually has the very first platinum Gravedigger Shovel ever made - it was a gift from his Staff, while the Club helped his Football Camp in purchasing quite a few of his new books).
Colin Cole has a BIG-time motor on him and his attitude on the field is to let his play do his talking out there. Very rarely do you ever see him blow steam at the refs or other players. The same goes with Johnny Jolly and the Packer Report writeup about Johnny, early on, was a righteous piece of work - good job on that.
Cole is definitely worth keeping. The Packers need to make Colin Cole feel appreciated and get him to WANT to stay a Packer. He is essential out there on that defensive crew. Maybe you could put a good word in for him ... how about it?

Not surprised by Grant's big season
Hello Todd,
Yes, there were some pleasant surprises in 2007. I, for one, did expect our Pack to go 10-6 or 11-5 and take the division. I could see where Chicago and Detroit would probably falter and Minnesota just didn't have enough. I did not however see the Packers making it past the second round of the playoffs, that is, if they made it past the first round. I just didn't think they had the running game to go far in the end.
Ryan Grant is another story.When they picked him up from New York I thought it may have been the trade of the decade. I live in South Bend, IN, and am a Notre Dame fan and have been watching Grant for a few years. I still haven't figured out why he wasn't a starter in his early years at ND. Every time he carried he showed his talent and ability. When he arrived at GB I kept wondering how long it would be before Coach Mike McCarthy saw what he had and moved him to start. Ryan is no breakaway runner, but has a good burst. He is no Earl Campbell, but does have powerful legs. He is no Walter Payton, but he can juke and jive. He has the ability to shed the first contact and has an uncanny ability to see the hole as it is starting to open. He usually has his shoulders square to the line and it is only when they can get to him in the backfield before he is square when he gets tackled for a loss. He is a north and south runner, always looking for that extra yard. He may not be at the top in any one category for a running back, but he has a high level in most of the categories. He is just a very, very good all around running back.
No, I was not surprised by his success when he got his chance. He plays 100% every play. Hey, he has soft hands too! WOW! Well, thanks for your time. Packer fan since 1958 and now shareholder, too. Guess I am a dyed in the wool GREEN BAY PACKER.

Packers' defense needs to blitz more, like Giants
Hi Todd,
After watching the SB and seeing the Giants defense manhandle the Patriots OL's. Do you see McCarthy trying to get Sanders to come up with ways to disguise blitzes? Do you forsee McCarthy bringing in some assistant defensive coaches that can help us do that? If the Packers were to have played the Patriots, the Packers would have been toasted by that offense. There was no way our defense would have been able to put the same amount of pressure that the Giants put on the Pats.
Do you forsee Green Bay signing any of these TE's they are free agents? Dallas Clark, Ben Utecht and Bryan Fletcher?
Well, looking forward to the draft now.
Lou, email@example.com, Boca Raton, FL
As you know, the NFL is a copycat league. So, if the Giants were successful in getting to the quarterback throughout the postseason with a very strong defensive line to win the Super Bowl, look for other teams to do the same, including the Packers. Corey Williams will be back, and a healthy Johnny Jolly and Colin Cole is good for the interior of the line. I do agree with you that the Packers need more pressure from their ends, and should blitz a little more with their linebackers next season. Regarding signing a free agent tight end, I don't see the Packers going after any of the three that you mentioned. They have Donald Lee and Tory Humphrey – two young, solid players. I feel the Packers will select a TE in the upcoming NFL draft.

Content to sit back and watch offseason unfold
I pretty much at this point am not really going to spend much time any more speculating, commenting, or getting emotional conversations-emails with other Packer Brethren, and have cut down on writing the reporters. Why? Because of what I've learned from Thompson over the last three years and how he operates. I've always been pretty all right with the hiring of McCarthy. I still question some of his game plans, and question his ability to change during a game, but he's done a great job and deserves credit.
First, let me say Thompson's done a very good job and he deserved his extension and pats on the back. I predicted the Pack would go 10-6, so my expectations were exceeded. I think Thompson was lucky in that because he had Favre, which allowed the team around him to grow quicker and wiser especially receivers, Rodgers etc. and allow them to win a lot more games.
But in a lot of ways I think he's made your job harder. I would think especially to try to speculate or figure him out and write about what he is doing, but it usually seems after the fact. One, I think for the most part his communication skills with the public really suck, nor does he feel obligated. Listening to his speeches, interviews, or explanations just leave me scratching my head and like feeling …this was a waste of time.
His draft picks have been good and they could become better, but has he really hit a home run with any one yet? Maybe Jennings, maybe James Jones some day. Hawk has been OK to good, but not a game-changing player. Mason Crosby I think will be a good one for years to come. We'll have to wait on the offensive line over the next couple of years, maybe Johnny Jolly.
I really think he laid an egg with Harrell, one dimensional guy who game into camp fat & out of shape. He had his chances this season and did nothing. I hope I am totally wrong. And what happened to grooming and taking care of our own? He could have signed a multi-dimensional Corey Williams for less last year.
In free agency I still think he should have signed Randy Moss and that would have put us over the top, but I am happy with the receiving corp and direction it is going. In three years of free agency he has signed Pickett and Woodson - come on!! He doesn't seem to be into plugging in a good free agent for a 2-3 year stint, like Wolf did, but everything must come via the draft, or released free agents.
We are so close, and with 1 or 2 game changing players I think would help us get to the Big Show and the promised land, and another Lambardi Trophy. But my days of spending much time with figuring out or even voicing an opinion regarding Thompson's direction, or Packer decisions, are pretty much over because that is pretty much a waste of time and going nowhere.
Have a great off season!

Pat_8's Review for Creative Aging Memphis
I have the distinct privilege of being associated with Creative Aging Mid-South. This fabulous organization provides a key service to seniors in the communities where they live and gather. Through the arts, seniors find the pleasures in life, and often have the gift of remembering regenerated for a period of time, as they clap and sing and dance and sculpt and listen to storytelling. What a wonderful service to our aging population, and what a treasure this is to the Mid-South community.
