Just in Time – Facilitating Secure Cargo Movement APEC Air Cargo Security Workshop 24th June, Bangkok, Thailand Matt Hemy Vice President, Security & Crisis Management DHL Express Asia Pacific
Bangkok | June-24-2008Page2 Express Delivery Services (EDS) industry Some statistics: –Over 30 million shipments daily –Our customs declarations are estimated at 25% of total declarations in AP –1, 200,000 employees / 170,000 vehicles / 1,700 aircraft –Operations in over 220 countries –By 2017 EDS is expected to represent almost 36% of global air cargo EDS is unique –Speed and Reliability - Nothing Stands Still –Fully integrated, door-to-door delivery –Global reach –Full Custodial control –Track and trace technology
Bangkok | June-24-2008Page3 Pickup (PU) 12 Processed & Bagged (PL) 43 Departs Facility (DF) Arrives Facility (AF) Processed & Bagged (PL) Depart Facility (DF) Confirmed Uplift (CU) 567 ORIGIN SERVICE CENTREORIGIN GATEWAY TRANSFER HUB Arrives Facility (AF) Processed & Bagged (PL) Departs Facility (DF) Confirmed Uplift (CU) 8 9 1110 DEST GATEWAY DEST SERVICE CENTRE Processed & Bagged (PL) Departs Facility (DF) Arrives Facility (AF) Arrives at Final Dest (AR) With Courier (WC) Shipment Delivered (OK) 121314151617 Typical End to End Shipment Movement Process
Bangkok | June-24-2008Page4 EDS – already secure Best in Class We see the shipper and the package A video record is kept of every shipment in our facilities Secure facilities and vehicles Pre-employment screening of staff and contractors Formal training of front line staff on security practices and procedures Sophisticated risk management techniques Our normal theft prevention measures also protect shipments from unauthorized interference Over 30 years of experience – proven track record with large, professional security teams managing all aspects of security
Bangkok | June-24-2008Page5 Secure Facilities: Example
Bangkok | June-24-2008Page6 Secure Facility: Security Control Centre
Bangkok | June-24-2008Page7 Secure Facilities: CCTV
Bangkok | June-24-2008Page8 Securing the EDS Network
Bangkok | June-24-2008Page9 Securing the EDS Network 1. X-Ray was suspicious 2. Shipment manually searched
Bangkok | June-24-2008Page10 Track record of Express Industry Example: Forged Passports and Forged Credit Cards Detected in Thailand
Bangkok | June-24-2008Page11 The Regulatory Environment EDS as integrators have to deal with multiple agencies and regulations as a part of the supply chain Aviation Security (ICAO, IATA etc) vs WCO SAFE Framework & AEO Airline industry has been ahead of the game and focused on this for a very long time Physical vs Intelligence layer focus Government Collaboration with Civil Aviation Administrations, Law enforcement WCO is now leading the charge on a holistic approach to supply chain security
Bangkok | June-24-2008Page12 WCO SAFE Framework – principles & partnerships The Introduction of the WCO Framework states: –SAFE is designed to secure the movement of global trade in a way that does not impede but, on the contrary, facilitates the movement of that trade. –A holistic approach is required to optimize the securing of the international trade supply chain while ensuring continued improvements in trade facilitation. Customs to Business partnership is one of the pillars of SAFE –Our customers have long demanded secure supply chains due to their critical nature and high value of their shipments –Thus we have been making significant investments in security of premises and processes for many years, even before 11 th September 2001
Bangkok | June-24-2008Page13 A balancing act Authorities now see the need for much greater levels of control in response to the current security situation At the same time the rising volumes of global trade increasingly demands secure, timely and affordable international delivery of time critical documents and goods Therefore a coordinated & balanced policy approach is necessary –DHL Express supports Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) regimes, known shipper programs and the like because they are good for our business –Authorities should not be too reliant on physical measures rather than intelligence available from industry and other government agencies –Security requirements of Customs vs Aviation Security vs Transport Administrations need alignment –Risk vs threat
Bangkok | June-24-2008Page14 Physical Security Measures EDS has substantial programs in place and can control its link in the chain Physical security depends on the weakest link and clear lines of responsibility Physical means visible which is politically popular Physical measures can compromise our operation between pick-up and delivery Compliance is a cost and resources issue for our customers, especially SMEs Can change the whole EDS business dynamic
Bangkok | June-24-2008Page15 The Intelligence Layer WCO acknowledges the use of strategic intelligence The US TSA strategic plan is focusing on risk based screening EDS already works closely with authorities An area of opportunity for collaboration between government agencies and law enforcement Enables us to continue to offer high levels of security whilst maintaining trade facilitation
Bangkok | June-24-2008Page16 Threat Assessment & use of Data We have always promoted a threat-based approach to security Threat Assessment requires data, but we already supply it to Customs We could tighten and provide account-opening data, also reducing bad debts Requires coordination between different arms of government –Customs –Immigration –Law Enforcement Agencies (e.g.: Police) –Criminal intelligence bureaux –Civil Aviation authorities –Ministries of Transport
Bangkok | June-24-2008Page17 Best Case & Worst Case Scenarios Ideally …. –The assessment of the totality of our security; does not specify physical measures between pick-up and delivery –EDS integrators improve the timeliness of data on shipments and provide better data from account opening procedures –A whole of government approach which considers ICAO, WCO SAFE etc –A collaborative Government & industry approach to air cargo security –Mutual recognition across countries Nightmare … –Red lane / green lane system –Responsibility for security compliance of our customers
Bangkok | June-24-2008Page18 Thank You for your attention Matt Hemy Vice President, Security & Crisis Management DHL Express Asia Pacific

Here is an introduction into Mikes Trail Dog: Lexi. She is a Jack Russell Terrier/Italian Greyhound rescue that is about 2 years old and has been with Mike most of her life.
She loves the outdoors and being on the trail. We are going to have a series of videos, blogs, and a dedicated page to "Hanging with Lexi" so we wanted to introduce you to her and hopefully we will learn things on the trail as well as be able to offer tips and tricks to hiking with a dog.
Here, Mike purchased a new pack for Lexi and took her out on a quick day hike. Like Steven I, Lexi also tests from home. She did great with her new pack. She hiked in her own food, and bowls for the trip and seemingly had a blast. Notice how at home she is up in the hammock with Mike
Mike and Steve have been camping for a few years together now. They love the outdoors and everything that comes with the camping experience. One of their passions is hammock camping and they equate it to sleeping on a cloud. They love to rate gear, do DIY projects, and change their pack often to accomplish their moto: "Think Right, Pack Light"

EAs special Moussa Sow FIFA 17 card is a thing of beauty
Date:2016-12-12 17:45:19
EA Sports are set to release a special "upside down" Moussa Sow FIFA 17 card – off the back of his brilliant run of bicycle kick goals.
The Fenerbahce striker, 30, got his side to the top of the Europa League group after his bicycle kick saw off Feyenoord earlier in the week.
The Senegal international also scored an incredible overhead kick against Manchester United in November – helping Fenerbahce to a 2-0 victory.
Fenerbahce celebrated Sow's goal by posting an upside down tweet in his honour. They also made a shirt with his name and number upside down.

The weight of Australian history fell heavy on the shoulders of Governor General John Kerr, when he sacked an Australian Prime Minister in 1975. A Constitutional crisis upset the fate of the Country.
A young optimistic Australia wanted an end to the Vietnam war, The Whitlam Government ended it. Australians wanted access to education and health, so they got it.Women wanted equality so the amendments were made. Immigrants wanted rights so they had them and the Aboriginals wanted to be recognised as people and not fauna and so they were.
"Migrants have given much to Australia; Australia has given to little in return" Gough Whitlam
For conservative Australia it was happening a bit too fast and the 'Old Guard' clung to the past and their status. Sir Kerr had a lot of pressure from many influences. A book ,'The Falcon and the Snowman'; claimed American interference. As the Queens representative, she had to have been at the party. Malcolm Frazer of the Liberal Party was made caretaker, even though the people voted Labor, so they had to have been there. Whitlam stopped the 'White only policy', so that excludes a lot. One thing is for sure, once Kerr did the deed, they turned their back on him.
It took a few decades to close the gates that Whitlam opened. War is back, Education is expensive, Medicare is getting the chop. Women are losing ground and immigration has become a taboo subject. 'This didn't happen overnight', it couldn't, the 70's and 80's Generations were the heirs to the Whitlam Legacy. Cate Blanchett's speech at Gough's funeral summed up the gratitude.
The Blue Poles by Jackson Pollock was bought by the Whitlam Government and the general public, that were not privy to the value of Art, did not understand the decision. Today it is considered one of the most important Artworks of the Century and we own it. Culture is a valuable commodity, it attracts respect. An excellent leader understands cache. Ironically Pollack labelled the painting number 11.
We can return to the 'dark ages' of the Menzies days of a 'White only Australia policy' where we knighthood Monarchy, dissolve the middle-class, remove education , healthcare and equally or we can build on the remnant of Whitlam Legacy, a few generations removed and become THE LUCKY COUNTRY.
Public feed back
" Gough will never be forgotten for introducing Medicare in Australia" Melissa- USU
"Seemed like a lot of money at the time, he must have been a visionary regarding the Arts" Meridith Farmer
"Gough was a man of his word." Joanie – Administration
"His influence was significant,my brother is Magistrate thanks to education" Kerry Teacher
" They wouldn't have tried to sell it when he was alive, they waited a year" Sophie – Artist
" I never said I'm immortal …I do believe in correct language. I'm Eternal, not immortal' quoting Whitlam , Robbie -Business Consultant

Same old for me, Chinese food last night for dinner leads to major regret next morning. SO typical yet never going to break this habit, ever. It's just too satisfying (and convenient) in the moment.
Early last week I found my housekeeper (Anna) in our bathroom, hysterically crying. I walked in to say goodbye and there she was, just sobbing uncontrollably in her own hands. I asked her what was wrong and it took her a minute to calm down and answer me. In very broken english she responded "my daughter". I then asked if something had happened to her. Anna then began to explain that she doesn't come to visit her anymore. From what I was able to gather, Anna's daughter has a boyfriend with whom she spends most of her time with and an ex husband who is now threatening to stop helping her with rent. This obviously broke my heart and as I gave her a hug and walked out, I found myself taking on her emotions.
To give a little backstory on Anna, she is VERY chic and put together. She always has a fresh manicure and pedicure, a crisp polo on, and takes the bus twice a week to come to us. She's probably fifty something and my guess is that she has been working for the past thirty years, cleaning various homes and establishments. She simply adores Baguette and Olive and I couldn't be happier to have her.
The whole experience has really caused me to reflect on my current standing. First and foremost, I couldn't imagine feeling as helpless as Anna did that day. I am somebody that is so unbelievably fortunate to have the love and support of so many amazing and genuine people around me (even if I don't always let them know).
As of Recently I have found myself in a serious state of transition. Ending old relationships and beginning new ones. They say you shed every seven years and I believe this might just be my seventh year. It's invigorating to pick and choose who you really want to spend your energy on. Not simply carrying on relationships with people JUST because you have known them for an extended period of time OR went to elementary school with them. Obviously change is always a little scary but I'm excited for the future. I have always had big plans for myself and focusing my energy on ensuring goals of mine come into fruition is MUCH more appealing then bullshitting around with people who aren't on the same path.
Happy Monday.

A highly entertaining, traditional piece of first-class entertainment. Night Must Fall is a must-see.

I'm Maria, I'm a Research Fellow in speech technology at a bi-departmental unit. Employed by the School of Informatics, going through the RAE via the Department of Linguistics. One grant so far, three more in the oven, one of which submitted. My survival strategy is to work 40-60% on grants, with the rationale that you can always fit one day of a costly person in, but f/t is another matter entirely.
Personal bugbear: Journal paper writer's block.
Dr Spouse
Just moved this here as I'd made a shiny new board!
I'm the originator of this board, though I'd quite like other people to sign up and be helpful admins or moderators, pretty please!
I'm in Psychology and work mainly on language development and language disorders, with a sideline in Travelling Overseas To Look At Small Children In Hot Countries.
I am at the top of the Lecturer level and feel a bit frustrated at my age (which I'm not going to reveal) though I know there are a number of reasons, partly due to spending ages getting my undergrad degree, partly due to doing an unreasonable number of postdocs, and partly due to sheer indolence and lack of paper and grant writing bovvered-ness since I got my first lecturing job.
Hello all -- I am looking forward to learning quite a lot from this forum, I will be beginning over again in the UK in September after teaching for ten years at a US liberal arts college. High expectations and much apprehension on this side.
just to say...
too much teaching (fun though). Lost my voice for the second year in a row... had to take time off... but now the emails have piled up!
But, on the positive side:
Have finished my rsearch project (and almost did everything I said on the tin)
And got my M.Ed!
Hi All,
I migrated over here from the HE Chronicle fora after seeing a link on one of Dr Spouse's posts. I'm English and lecturing in the British Isles at the moment. Various mathematical subfields for undergrads and postgrads.
I recently changed university from the one I was at for two years (my first lecturing post out of PhD), doing pretty much the same thing as now. I am thinking of moving to the US or Chinese side of academe this year. Hence my moniker!
Apologies if I sound non-committal, but I'm new to posting (despite lurking on HE Chronicle fora for about 3 years!) here and don't want to reveal too much!
Nice to meet you all!

Not at all, it is always good to keep a few things to oneself. Otherwise how can you moan about your colleagues or your professional body?
Welcome to the forum, hope to see more of you.

Hello everyone
I'm new to the board, having come over from the Chronicle. I work as a senior lecturer in England.
Hi, Figgy Pudding
Nice to have another person from the UK.
Hello. I'm a friend of Dr Spouse from A.N.Other forum. I'm a (hopefully!) final year PhD student, doing an ethnographic study in an Area Studies department, and am in the thick of writing up at the moment (hoping to submit by the end of the year, please God!). I've joined as I'm at that point where I need all the procrastinatory and diversionary tactics I can get

I don't know about you. But I don't believe in God.
I never have. Plus with all the tragedies in the world today I can't imagine I will anytime soon. BUT! Sometimes in life you see something and it makes you get thinking. It makes you think about your life, and how good or bad it may be. Now after watching the below video it made me feel great about my own life. Simply because i'm not as dense or as deluded as these sketchy old folk who thought a little rap would help their dwindling number of youth in today's churches.
Sit back and enjoy this cringefest in all it's glory. If this isn't a contender for best music video ever made however, I don't know what is!

- The CCP Central Committee has issued a new CCP Accountability Provision, which is designed to ensure that every CCP committee, committee of discipline inspection, and CCP organization holds themselves and those under their supervision accountable to the Party and the people. The provision marks an important effort to eliminate misconduct, evidenced by its prominence in Party mouthpiece People's Daily.
- Chinese state and CCP diplomacy continue to focus on building support for China's position on the South China Sea dispute. Chinese Vice President Li Yuanchao sought to ensure cooperation from Laos on the issue during his meeting with the country's defense minister, given its hosting of the first major round of ASEAN diplomacy since the South China Sea arbitration ruling at the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague.
Xi Jinping Makes Inspection Tour of Ningxia Province
7.19: Xi Jinping made an inspection tour of Ningxia, making a stop in a mosque in the Hui autonomous region. While there, Xi stated that China's multiethnic and multi-faith state developed out of its 5,000 year-long history, and exhorted his audience to continue the tradition of patriotism and love of faith. The Hui believers expressed their determination to conscientiously implement the spirit of the April 2016 National Conference on Religious Affairs held in Beijing. Xi also inspected agricultural ventures for poverty reduction as well as the world's largest coal liquefaction plant, the Ningdong Energy & Chemical Base, which is currently under construction. Xi emphasized during his inspection tour that the realization of the Chinese Dream strongly depends on the efforts of China's working class.
Xi Jinping Delivers Speech on Flood Control and Disaster Relief
China Spiritual Civilization Net
7.21: Xi Jinping delivered a speech at the East West Poverty Assistance Cooperation Conference in Yinchuan, Ningxia on the importance of government and citizen engagement in flood control and disaster relief. He emphasized that the Party, and particularly the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and the People's Armed Police (PAP), have long been committed to ensuring people's safety through flood control and disaster relief efforts. Xi said that Party committees at all levels must work to implement disaster relief plans, and work to improve disaster prediction methods. He also emphasized the need to protect personnel involved in disaster relief, and to prioritize the protection of children and the elderly. Xi explained the importance of coordination between military and civilian workers in the event of a disaster. Lastly, Xi said that water conservancy must be a focus of every disaster relief plan. He concluded that strengthening disaster prevention and relief will ensure economic and social development, as well as social stability.
CPPCC Holds Meeting to Discuss Upgrading of China's Northeastern Industrial Sector
Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference
7.20: CPPCC members, provincial representatives, and academic specialists shared their views on the issue of upgrading China's northeastern industrial sectors at a CPPCC meeting in Beijing. National Development and Reform Commission Deputy Director He Lifeng (何立峰) introduced the topic, and members from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the China Banking Regulatory Commission, and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC) were in attendance, as were relevant members from the CCP Central Committee and State Council. The meeting emphasized the importance of an effective revitalization strategy for the region; despite some successes, the region is facing new challenges. State-Owned Enterprise (SOE) reform will be the focus of the strategy to address five problems: properly solving liability problems for enterprise investors, reforming corporate governance, improving social security, relieving SOEs of the burden of operating social programs, and addressing the problem of collectively-owned factories. The meeting concluded that speeding up the development of the reform plan's details will restore the roots of the region's industry; it will also draw it into the nationwide development strategy, improve the business climate and vitality of the private sector, and enhance the region's financial and fiscal support. Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli (张高丽) emphasized Xi Jinping's principles of supply-side reform: improving quality, efficiency, and improving the structure of the system.
CCP issues "CCP Accountability Provision"
Xinhua, Central Commission for Discipline Inspection
7.17: Xinhua reports that the CCP Central Committee has issued a "CCP Accountability Provision" (中国共产党问责条例) and demanded that all departments thoroughly implement the new policy from the Party center. The announcement pointed out that to advance CCP discipline work is the Party's strategic plan and the key focus of General Secretary Xi Jinping. The CCP Central Committee is to use Party accountability as the tool to ensure CCP discipline. The regulation is based on the Party Constitution, and is meant to advance the thorough implementation of the spirit of Xi's important speeches, strengthen CCP leadership, and fulfill the CCP's historic mission, the article claimed. The announcement emphasized that CCP committees and departments at all levels have to understand the intentions of the CCP Central Committee and establish political awareness, overall situational awareness, core awareness, and conformity awareness in order to study, promote, and implement the "Regulation." The release of the new regulation marks an important development in discipline work; at recent conferences on the topic, Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) Wang Qishan (王岐山) explained that the provision is designed to unify thoughts and send a strong signal that every CCP committee, committee of discipline inspection, and CCP organization must implement an accountability policy. Wang stated that the foundation of loyalty toward the CCP is for Party cadres to be held accountable.
People's Daily Commentator: Power Requires Responsibility
People's Daily
7.19: An authoritative article published by a People's Daily commentator (人民日报评论员) discussed the recently promulgated CCP Accountability Provision, calling it an important step towards: creating a system of accountability, creating a powerful deterrent to irresponsible and improper behavior, and ensuring that the Party remains strong and effective. Leading cadres must be made to understand that power is entrusted to them by the people and should only be used for their benefit, the piece stated. The provision was said to be a warning to the Party that dereliction of duty will result in accountability, and that if one enters the Party one is responsible to the Party and the people. There are currently cadres who only seek power and do not fulfill their obligations, the piece stated. The policy was said to address the inadequacies of the Party discipline system, the tendency for government policies to be inadequately implemented, the improper supervision of personnel, and the spread of corruption. The commentator emphasized that provincial and municipality committees must hold themselves accountable, and not just those beneath their authority.

The two militaries are working together in joint exercises, counter-terrorism, and strategic communication. Fang emphasized to Surapong that the South China Sea arbitration is void and meaningless, and does not rattle China's firm determination to protect its sovereignty and maritime interests. Surapong said that Thailand hopes to continue to develop military-to-military relations with China, and that Thailand hopes that relevant parties in the South China Sea dispute will be solved through negotiation andconsultation.
Li Yuanchao Meets with Laos Defense Minister
Ministry of National Defense: Authoritative Announcements
7.19: Chinese Vice President Li Yuanchao (李源潮) met with Laos Defense Minister Chansamone Channhalat in Beijing. The two leaders discussed the South China Sea dispute. Li said that China insists upon negotiation as the primary way to resolve the dispute, and thanked Laos for its support for China on that issue. He expressed hope that the two countries will continue to deepen their relationship toward a bilateral comprehensive strategic partnership. Chansamone Channhalat reportedly assured Li that Laos fully supports China's position on the South China Sea, and hopes that the issue can be resolved through negotiation by relevant countries involved, and that Laos highly values its cooperation with China. As of 24 July at an annual gathering of ASEAN officials in Vientiane, Laos, ASEAN officials remained divided on how to address the South China Sea dispute and recent arbitration ruling at the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague. Beijing has been accused of using its economic influence over Laos, this year's host, in order to divide ASEAN on the topic.
West Pushes Threat Theories Against "One Belt, One Road"
7.19: An article from the CCP's Qiushi Journal listed ten threat theories against China's "One Belt, One Road" (OBOR) initiative. As described in the piece, the theories are as follows: OBOR is meant to dump products related to industrial overcapacity, such steel, on the European market; the US conspires that OBOR will ignite new geopolitical problems for China, including with Russia; OBOR will ignite "clashes of civilization"; OBOR will create a new and different international order; OBOR is meant to export the Chinese development model; OBOR is meant to create Chinese economic imperialism; OBOR will devastate local eco-systems; OBOR is meant to revive the ancient tributary system toward China; OBOR is meant to "divide and conquer" (分而治之) the EU; and OBOR represents a "Yellow Peril" for Russia's far east and for Central Asia. The article claimed that OBOR threat theories are likely supported by hostile Western forces, and that China needs to establish OBOR as a long-term strategy based on the principle of a "joint community of shared interests, responsibility, and destiny."
South China Sea Arbitration Conference Held in Beijing
China Law Society
7.21: The China Law Society, Chinese Society of International Law, and Chinese Society of the Law of the Sea brought together legal experts for a conference on the recent South China Sea arbitration case. Members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, State Oceanic Administration, and various universities attended the conference to discuss the arbitration's damage to Chinese sovereignty and maritime rights. China Law Society Party Secretary Chen Yiping (陈冀平) said that the decision ignored historical facts, distorted international law, and lacked objectivity. He said that as global competition intensifies, maritime rights will become a more important issue, and thinking about how to properly utilize and interpret maritime rights is essential. He called on China, as a strong supporter and protector of international law, to promote and build a more perfect international maritime legal system. Experts agreed that, because the substance of the case had to do with sovereignty over islands and reefs and maritime delimitation, UNCLOS does not apply. Therefore, the tribunal was an inappropriate place to resolve the dispute, and its judgment is meaningless.
Meetings: 18 July-24 July 2016

2084Details for Saturday June 15th
Expand Messages
- Jun 12, 2013Hello everyone,
I hope you are all well.
Here are the details for Saturday, June 15th. We are going to the 5:50pm
screening of BEHIND THE CANDELABRA at Cineworld Hammersmith.
Tickets cost 8.64 each with no booking fee, if you register for free
with the Cineworld website. Otherwise they cost 9.60 per ticket.
I have chosen this cinema for a number of reasons. The only West End
cinema showing the film is Odeon West End where tickets are over 16.50
each (not including a booking fee). We also have members in the group
who are Cineworld members (though not me) who can get in free to
Cineworld venues, so I like to keep them happy. The other nearby
Cineworld cinemas that are showing this film are in Chelsea and Fulham
Road, both of which may prove tricky to find affordable places to eat
Here's how to find the cinema:
Let's meet outside the cinema at about 5:40pm.
See you all on Saturday.

By JOHN H. CUSHMAN Jr., Special to the New York Times
Published: March 8, 1987
WASHINGTON, March 7— The Pentagon is preparing to decide what kind of combat helicopter will serve the Army for the next two decades, making choices that will affect billions of dollars in military spending and thousands of jobs in the helicopter industry.
At issue is a still undesigned aircraft that the Pentagon has dubbed LHX, for light helicopter, experimental. The Army wants to buy 4,500 of them for an estimated $40 billion to $60 billion. Beginning in 1995, the LHX would replace thousands of helicopters, including the Cobras and Hueys that flew in Vietnam.
The program would provide years of work for virtually every major company in the helicopter business. A competition to select the eventual producers has already begun, pitting a team led by McDonnell Douglas and Bell Helicopter against one led by Boeing and Sikorsky. Highest Research Priority
The Army calls the LHX its highest research priority, worth sacrificing other programs to finance. Critics say the project is too ambitious, too hurried, worth neither the risk nor the expense.
''It is clear that the Army will eventually need to replace its aging light helicopter fleet,'' Richard Godwin, the Defense Department's senior procurement official, said in a memorandum in January to the Secretary of the Army, summarizing his own review of the LHX. Mr. Godwin said the Army had not proved that its costly plan was the most effective solution.
In April, after an intensive study, two top Army and Defense Department review boards will meet to judge whether the Army has resolved the issues raised by Mr. Godwin and other skeptics. If the program is approved by the boards, Congress will be asked to start paying for a development program that will preoccupy the helicopter industry for years to come.
In pressing for the green light, Army officers speak glowingly of revolutions in technology they hope to incorporate into the helicopter. Composite materials would replace metals; fiber optics would be used instead of cranks and cables. Speed, agility and range would increase; the costs of operating and maintaining the equipment would decrease.
Most rewarding, the Army says, the LHX could be piloted by a single officer, a breakthrough. The helicopter would have advanced controls, instrument panel displays and computers that would reduce the complexity of flight to a previously unachievable simplicity.
But selling such ambitious plans to Congress in a year when the military budget is virtually frozen is not easy. And the generals who run the program are finding the task complicated by divisions over the program's merits at the Pentagon and among military contractors.
A recent report by the Pentagon's Defense Science Board, which assembles panels of independent experts to study military technologies, questioned the need for a helicopter with the performance envisioned for the LHX. The panel also said the program's cost and schedule estimates seemed unduly optimistic. Congress Remains Adamant
So far, even after adopting some of the panel's recommendations, the Army has not persuaded Congress that it is on the right course. Last year, after the General Accounting Office, a Congressional investigating arm, issued a report expressing doubts about the projected costs of the LHX, Congress held up funds for helicopter research until the Army could prove that its cost estimates were realistic. Despite pleas by the Army that the money be released, Congress has not relented.
On Wednesday the Army's helicopter branch plans to deliver a study of the costs and benefits of the LHX program to senior Pentagon officials. On Thursday the generals are to brief a committee in the House of Representatives on the study.
''We've been a little reluctant to go over and extol the program without the full comparative data,'' Brig. Gen. Ronald K. Andreson, the program manager, said in an interview at the Pentagon. But he also said the Army's study, which he called the largest such effort it had ever conducted, involving thousands of analysts, ''will strongly support the case'' for the LHX. Role of the Apache Copter
In particular, the general said it would show the wisdom of a disputed decision made by the Army last autumn: to stop buying its current attack-helicopter model, the Apache, a heavy aircraft manufactured by the McDonnell Douglas Corporation, next year. General Andreson said computer models had indicated that the LHX could do similar jobs 50 percent better at a lower lifetime cost than the Apache.
The plan to end Apache purchases has raised the ire of the manufacturer, which last month began an advertising campaign in The Washington Post to praise the Apache. While the advertisements also praise the LHX's potential as a technologically advanced aircraft, McDonnell Douglas makes it plain that canceling the Apache is too high a price to pay.
McDonnell Douglas points out that the LHX is not meant to replace the Apaches, which would remain in service, and that the Army has often said it needs more than 1,000 Apaches. Rather, the LHX is to replace outmoded, smaller helicopters, which would be taken out of service to be stored or sold abroad.

Texture Tuesday with Paintings
Good morning friends.
For the longest time I have wanted to post photographs on Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday blog. Textures on photographs is a Photoshop exercise using layers and various textures and designs to alter the appearance of a photograph.
I have been rather intimidated by the process, mostly due to not having enough time to really get the techniques "into my noggin'." But with a new photography blog just started,
I have decided to get on the bandwagon and just see where it goes. Please join in if you love photography and Photoshop manipulations. It can be super fun and very creative!
On this blog, however, I am going to do something DIFFERENT. I will add textures, text, etc. to a PAINTING not a photograph
My first experiment:
the original painting.
I have used Kim's textures Cotton Candy, KK Scripted and Inspire overlay.
I like the vintage appearance of this piece.

My second painting is actually for a charity event coming up this month. Calling All Angels benefits Avon Cancer Awareness.
More about that in a later blog.
More about that in a later blog.
The painting has taken on a completely different quality

I have lost in the "never-land" of my photo files the original to this small portrait. You see it with textures only.
This is pure experimentation with unknown results until I learn a few more aspects of adding textures. The combinations are endless.

1- Hair Growth: Massage castor oil into your hair and scalp and it will improve the blood circulation to your follicles, promoting faster hair growth. The oil also contains omega-6 fatty acids, so it will nourish your hair as well.
2- Treat dandruff and other scalp conditions: Castor oil also has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. Massaged into the scalp it will help to clear up dandruff and other scalp conditions quickly and if you use it regularly, it will stop the conditions from taking hold in the first place.
3- Thicken Hair: Castor oil contains omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, both of which are useful for encouraging healthy hair growth. With regular use, castor oil will encourage new growth and thicken existing strands to give you a beautiful and shiny head of thicker hair.
4- Hair Conditioner: Simply mix a couple of drops of castor oil with your leave-in conditioner and apply evenly to your hair; your locks will become softer and healthier.
5- No More Split Ends: Apply castor oil on the ends of your hair for half an hour before shampooing. If you do it regularly, you'll soon forget about dry, split ends and your hair will look healthier and shinier.
6- Longer Eyelashes: Apply castor oil on your lashes every night before going to bed. In a couple of weeks time you should see naturally longer and thicker eyelashes that you've always dreamed of.
7- Thicker Eyebrows: Rub some castor oil into your eyebrows each night before you go to bed and it will nourish and thicken your eyebrows. It also stimulates the growth of hair, so it's great if you've over plucked your eyebrows. After a couple of weeks of regular castor oil massages your eyebrows will become thicker, so that you can shape it to your preference.
8- Skin Moisturizer: Castor oil penetrates deep into the skin, softens and hydrates it. The oil also helps to promote the production of elastin and collagen, which help to delay the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and give the skin a more youthful appearance.
9- Treat Mild Acne: The ricinoleic acid found in castor oil makes it a superb natural treatment for mild acne. Wash your face first in warm water to open up the pores and then, massage some of the oil into your face and leave it on overnight. Rinse off the next morning and your acne will soon be cleared up.
10- Scar Treatment: Regular application of castor oil can reduce the appearance of scars. The fatty acids in the oil penetrate quickly into the scar tissue and promote the growth of healthy tissue around it, thus reducing the size of the scar itself.
11- Arthritis Pain Relief: Castor oil is well known for its anti-inflammatory properties and can be used as an effective treatment for arthritis. Massage painful joints with the oil and then, apply a warm compress for immediate relief.
100% Pure Organic Cold-Pressed Castor Oil. Hexane-Free and Triple Refined for the Highest Quality
For skin, apply a few drops and massage well into your skin or face. For hair and scalp, apply a few drops to affected area.

In a suburban location with the best intentions but with the forced desire to twist and improve the classics whilst creating little optimisation.
One of our best meals. Beautiful food and impeccable friendly service. The chef and her husband take such obvious pride in presenting wonderful local fresh food. The antipasto is a must!
Visited this lovely little restaurant that doesn't look like much from the outside. Food was great but the service was perfect. Felt like eating at someone's home even though they didn't speak much English. Fixed something of menu for the kids without hesitation.

The food was very different from what we expected. It is historically traditional Umbria food, beautifully presented and delicious. But considering that Laura is the chef with years of experience in this area what should we have expected?

PLANO, TX – State Senator Van Taylor is encouraging his constituents to participate in the upcoming Senate Property Tax Reform and Relief Committee hearing on Wednesday, April 27 at the University of Texas at Arlington. The hearing will start at 8:00am with public testimony scheduled to begin at approximately 10:00am. The hearing will take place at the E.H. Hereford University Center, Rosebud Theatre at 300 West First Street in Arlington, with parking available in Lot 11.
"I firmly believe that political power comes from the grassroots. By going directly to the people, these hearings force politicians to hear how skyrocketing property taxes are affecting the everyday lives of the people they serve," stated Taylor. "The appraisal system in Texas was not designed as a vehicle for local governments to subvert the people with a backdoor means to increase taxes and government spending. This money belongs to the people, not government, and failing to reform the process puts government growth on auto-pilot without regard for the will of the people."
For those who have never offered public testimony at a state hearing before, Taylor noted the process is straightforward and designed for people to easily communicate with their state government. Those wishing to testify simply fill out a card with their information and then will be called to offer their experiences, thoughts, and/or opinions on the property tax system in Texas. The Committee requests that those wishing to provide public testimony limit prepared remarks to 3 minutes. If submitting written testimony, please submit 20 copies, with your name on each copy, to the Committee during the hearing. Given the high interest, people wishing to testify should be prepared for long waits potentially lasting up to several hours.
If constituents have any questions about the process, or are unable to attend but would like to share their thoughts with the Committee, Taylor said they can contact his office at: (972) 398-9416 and someone will be there to help.
A trusted conservative leader in the Texas Senate, Taylor was appointed by Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick to serve on the Select Committee on Property Tax Reform and Relief. The Committee has been traveling the state holding public hearings, discussing ways to improve the property tax process, as well as reduce the burden on property owners. To date, the Committee has held hearings in San Antonio, Harlingen, and Lubbock. Based on feedback from these hearings, the committee will report their recommendations to the Finance Committee prior to the 2017 Legislative Session.
In a press release announcing his appointments to the committee, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick stated, "Texas voters have spoken and they clearly said they want lasting, meaningful tax reform. Proposition 1, this Select Committee on Property Tax Reform and Relief, and recently passed legislation as well as Finance Committee interim charges are all part of a vision for a better Texas."
According to data from the Texas Comptroller, between 2005 and 2014, property taxes increased approximately 2.5 times faster than the median household income.
Last session Senator Taylor coauthored, and helped pass, Senate Bill 1, which increased the homestead exemption from $15,000 to $25,000 for school district property taxes. Needing voter approval before taking affect, over 86% of Texas voters supported the measure by passing Proposition 1 during the 2015 Constitutional Amendment Election. According to the non-partisan Legislative Budget Board this legislation provided Texans with $1.2 billion in property tax relief.
A local small businessman and decorated Marine Officer, Van Taylor serves the majority of Collin County and a portion of Dallas County in the Texas Senate. In addition to his role on the Property Tax Reform And Relief Committee, Taylor serves as the Vice-Chairman of both the Sunset Advisory Commission and the Nominations Committee. He is also a member of the Education, Health and Human Services, and Transportation Committees. Van and his wife, Anne, married after his return from Iraq and are the proud parents of three young girls. Van and his family reside in Plano near the land his great-grandfather farmed during the Great Depression.

You're not stupid - these things are usually simple when you know how, but a complete mystery up until then. I don't have a kindle, just the app thing on my laptop, with that I had to get it from my download file and open with the app. Not sure if it's the same on a proper kindle.Delete
