Toys for Tots needs help
The Cape-Atlantic Marine Corps League has been plagued with obstacles for its annual Toys for Tots campaign and seeks the community's involvement and the generosity of citizens to acquire and deliver toys to children this holiday season.
Hurricane Sandy destroyed several of the businesses that traditionally volunteered to be drop off locations. Many families lost their homes and possessions, increasing the need for donations for children. Two prominent conventions that historically supply many donated gifts were canceled due to the storm, the New Jersey Teachers Convention and the League of Municipalities. A thief broke into a storage trailer and stole a large quantity of donated gifts. Although a suspect was apprehended and charged with the crime, the toys were not recovered.
To be a toy drop off location, donate toys or money to purchase gifts, call Frank Vesely at 609-868-0003 or email franky2842com

Low cost shingles vaccine available
The county is still offering the shingles vaccine at low cost for residents who don't have health insurance or who have health insurance that doesn't pay for the vaccine. There is no charge for the shingles vaccine itself. Uninsured and underinsured residents only pay a $15 administration fee.
A single dose of zoster (shingles) vaccine is recommended for adults 60 years of age and older, whether or not the patient reported a prior episode of shingles. Shingles is a localized, generally painful rash that occurs most frequently among older adults and immunocompromised people. It is caused by reactivation of the chickenpox virus.
For those who have health insurance but are unable to obtain the shingles vaccine at their doctor's office, the Department of Health can administer the vaccine to them for $175. Residents must pay for the vaccine out of pocket and submit the cost for reimbursement to their insurance carrier (i.e. Medicare Part D). Residents are encouraged to contact their insurer in advance to determine whether the vaccine is covered.
The shingles vaccination program is by appointment only and the patient needs a prescription from their physician to receive the vaccine. To schedule an appointment for the shingles vaccine, call 609-465-1200.

It might surprise some to hear this, but the state of the economy was not on the minds of everyone at last month's European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE). With attendance reaching the third highest level of any EBACE show, a healthy number of exhibitors and more aircraft on the static display than at last year's event, EBACE'09 easily surpassed the nervous prognostications of those who worried that the show would seriously decline in keeping with the ongoing negative news about the business aviation industry.
Europe and European attitudes about overcoming the relentless obstacles to conducting aviation activities, however, never fail to surprise visitors from the U.S. And the dismal economy is just one more obstacle–albeit a significant one–that has developed and that European aircraft owners, operators and aviation service providers have determined to take in stride.
ETS and Security Measures
The opening general session on May 12 featured key European officials offering support for business aviation, but not much good news on implementation of the new emissions trading scheme (ETS), set to take force in 2012. Daniel Calleja, director of air transport for the European Commission (EC), expressed his organization's interest in helping smooth the road to ETS. "The Commission is willing to work with you," he told the opening-session delegates. "We need to find a workable system, and we are keen to find a solution that takes into account the concerns of business aviation."
The industry can hope that Calleja was able to spend time at EBACE'09 getting his arms around business aviation and understanding the benefits it offers–bringing new business opportunities and generating manufacturing, operational and support jobs. But Brian Humphries, president and CEO of the European Business Aviation Association, is concerned that the EC is applying commercial aviation standards to general aviation without regard to the unique operating capabilities of business aircraft. Among the concerns he expressed at the opening general session were the ETS, "inappropriate blanket security proposals" and constrained business aviation access to airports that are increasingly being used by low-cost airlines. Unlike the U.S., where all aircraft have the right to use any portion of the aviation infrastructure, priority in European and other countries is given to the aircraft carrying the most passengers. The issues facing business aviation in Europe are critical, according to Humphries. "The situation is as challenging as any we've ever seen."
NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen joined the opening session panel and expressed his organization's concern about how Europe's ETS will affect U.S. operators flying to Europe. He cited the example of a business aviation flight from Los Angeles to London, noting that the operator would have to pay to offset the carbon emissions for the entire flight, not just the portion flown in Europe. Bolen said that "is unconscionable."
Worse yet, complying with the ETS will cost operators a significant amount of money. In an earlier interview, Humphries told AIN that developing an ETS monitoring, reporting and verification system would cost a small operator about $60,000 per year. An EC official told Humphries, "Well, that's not very much, is it?"
"They absolutely do not appreciate the realities of this business," Humphries said, "and the fact that many of these operators have small profit margins despite the fact they seem to have expensive-looking equipment like jets and helicopters. To suddenly add a cost like $60,000 per year just to handle emissions trading and another $30,000 a year for the increased [regulatory] oversight charges, plus security cost increases, just shows a complete lack of awareness and sensitivity of our business to cost."
On the last day of EBACE'09, a session was held on security issues for business aviation operations in Europe. The session addressed the question of whether or not business aviation will have security requirements different from those of the airlines. The answers weren't too clear on that issue, but those who attended the meeting learned that increasing regulation of general aviation security is expected in Europe and the scope of such regulation might look a lot like airline security unless business aviation interests get involved with the process.
Mireille Dorr, the EC's directorate general for energy and transport, explained that current European security regulations apply to airline operations, but "in this regulation, we do not have specific rules for business aviation. However, what we do have is a provision under which member states maintain national rules for general aviation." These states have the authority to develop their own security rules for business aviation, she said.
The EC has been working on revising aviation security regulations for the past two to three years, according to Dorr, and a vote on a new rules proposal is due next month, with entry into force of the new rules scheduled for next year. Dorr said that the EC has been working with EBAA to solicit input on European Union (EU) security rules for business aviation, "to ensure that all business aviation flights in the EU are covered by the same security regime." However, she added, "it was impossible to get agreement from all the member states."
What this means is that if an EU member state does not develop its own business aviation security regulations, the EU will likely impose the commercial aviation rules on business aircraft operators. This includes the same type of baggage and passenger screening that airline passengers undergo. "We do recognize that this may not be appropriate for the types of flight that you have," Dorr said.
While the new rules will allow EU member states to develop their own rules for business aviation, they also create a path for future harmonization with EU regulations. Dorr anticipates that European security rules, like the proposed large aircraft security program rules in the U.S., will have a weight threshold, but she didn't specify what that might be.
An example of the onerous security regime that European business aircraft operators and service providers might have to endure was offered by Hervé Laitat, general manager of Brussels FBO Abelag. In July 2005, an EC audit found that Brussels Airport was not secure and required creation of a new "security restricted area" at the FBO. This area basically consists of a line between the airside and the landside, but extending through the interior of the FBO's hangar and terminal facility. To get from one side to the other, all people, including employees, must undergo full security screening.
In practical terms, the restriction means that some employees have to be screened as many as 25 times per day. Abelag had to hire more employees because of reduced productivity, and it's difficult to keep employees when they are subjected to such misguided efforts when they are just trying to do their job.
The EC security program seems intent on eliminating all risk. "We feel that no risk assessment has been taken into account," he said. "I would say that zero risk does not exist."
Abelag supports the security recommendations issued by EBAA last year, Laitat said. "The principles are good, and we like the idea of setting up a security program for our activity. FBOs are ready to take this responsibility."
Bogus Class War
The ongoing battle between business aviation bashers and an industry that has seen a dramatic drop in deliveries and flight activity was highlighted at the "Business Aviation: Perception Versus Reality" session held on the second day of EBACE'09. While politicians are starting to get the message that business aviation is not all about luxury travel but contributes substantially to the economy and provides tens of thousands of valuable jobs, said EBAA leader Humphries, the media still appears to be on the attack.
Pete Bunce, president of the General Aviation Manufacturers Association, provided details of the GAMA/NBAA "No Plane, No Gain" campaign, which is focused on defending business aviation. The industry contributes more than $1.5 billion to the U.S. economy and employs almost 100,000 people. Bunce explained how business jet operators can fight back against the negative perception of business aviation, citing JPMorgan as an example. The troubled financial services giant defended its order for two Gulfstream G650s by saying that the jets would help it compete globally and promising not to take delivery until it had repaid federal bailout funds. The media initially latched onto the story but backed off when JPMorgan took a stand. "They did it right," Bunce said.
At the opening session, Yael Selfin, head of macro consulting at Pricewaterhouse
Coopers, provided results of a study commissioned by EBAA on business aviation's impact on the European economy. "Business aviation contributed €19.7 billion [to the European economy] in 2007," she said, which includes €5.6 billion of direct, €4.8 billion indirect (financial benefits through the supply chain) and €9.3 billion worth of induced (the effect of employee expenditure related to the sector and its supply chain) gross value added. The most active countries in terms of business aviation are France, the UK and Germany, while the impact of Eastern European countries remains small, she said.
Unlike last year's EBACE, this year's event was devoid of announcements of new aircraft programs and big orders. Notably absent this year were the Eastern European operators who bought into business aviation in a big way last year. But Middle Eastern companies remain strong buyers and accounted for a moderate amount of business at this year's EBACE show.
On the eve of the show, Jordanian operator RayaJet and its sister company Ayla Aviation Academy signed a contract for a Hawker Beechcraft Premier II, the updated version of the Premier IA announced at EBACE'08. Premier II certification remains on track for the second quarter of next year, and the upgraded jet offers 20 percent more range, increased payload and higher cruise speeds.
Embraer has its hands full with development of the new Legacy 450 and 500 midsize jets and thus had no announcements of new programs. But the company did bring four of its jets to EBACE'09, emphasizing Embraer's rapid growth into the major leagues of business jet manufacturing. The Embraer fleet included the in-production and recently EASA-certified Phenom 100 very light jet; the recently FAA-certified Lineage 1000; the company's first business jet, the super-midsize Legacy 600; and the next in line for certification, the light Phenom 300.
Certification of the Phenom 300 remains on track for the end of this year. Although Embraer has experienced some order cancellations and deferrals of the Phenom models, the backlog still accounts for about 800 airplanes, according to the company. This year's schedule calls for delivery of 115 Phenoms and 17 Legacy 600s and Lineage 1000s.
The fly-by-wire Legacy 450 and 500 remain on the same certification and delivery schedules Embraer originally announced. The seats and tables shown in early mockups are being changed based on customer feedback.
Cessna said at EBACE'09 that it expects to deliver 290 to 300 jets this year, down from 467 last year. "We may be a little disappointed," said chairman, CEO and president Jack Pelton, "but we have a backlog worth $13 billion, and 2009 will still be a good year.
"We're seeing a lot of positive news," he said. "The stock market is rising, consumer spending is improving, housing activity has stabilized, general inventories are declining and the chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve is becoming optimistic. We expect the U.S. GDP will become positive in the third quarter of this year."
Cessna has cut spending by suspending development of the large-cabin Citation Columbus (see story on page 6) and closing its Bend, Ore. factory, where the Corvalis composite piston singles are made, and moving that production line to Independence, Kan. The state of the economy will determine when the company resumes development of the Columbus.
Bombardier briefed EBACE attendees on the progress of the all-composite Learjet 85, emphasizing that the program remains on schedule following cancellation of the company's contract with insolvent Grob Aerospace for preproduction prototype design and production. "We jumped in quickly after Grob announced it was in [financial] trouble," said Bob Horner, senior vice president of Bombardier Business Aircraft sales. The Learjet 85 is slated to enter service in 2013. Horner also announced two range extensions for current designs, an added 400 nm for the Global 5000 and a 15-percent increase for the Learjet 40XR.
Airbus's VIP division is riding out the recession relatively unaffected, with a backlog of 40 jets. This includes orders during 2008 for a mix of 25 narrow- and widebody VIP jets valued at about $3.4 billion. Airbus is on track to deliver 12 Corporate Jetliners this year, up from 10 last year. Among the 10 widebody orders last year, eight were for the VIP variant of the new A350 and two for the four-engine A340-500. The A350 is scheduled for certification and entry into service in 2013.
While Gulfstream Aerospace has had to resort to layoffs and other cost-cutting measures, deliveries, revenues, earnings and backlog showed a relatively strong performance in the first quarter. Gulfstream delivered 31 aircraft and completed 34 in the first quarter, compared with 37 delivered and 36 completed in the same period last year. At the end of 1Q/09, Gulfstream's backlog was $20.769 billion, down from $22.479 billion at the same time last year. The new G250 and G650 remain on track for first flights later this year.
Piaggio Aero Industries has received a few requests for delayed delivery but no cancellations, according to CEO Alberto Galassi. This year's deliveries should be the same as 2008's, at about 30 Avanti IIs.
Daher-Socata has deferred to the end of the year a decision about launching a new eight- to 10-seat twin-engine turboprop or jet. The company is still in "a business plan mode," said Nicholas Chabbert, senior vice president of the company's airplane division, at EBACE'09.
For OEMs that had no new aircraft to announce, they at least had some modifications to highlight. Boeing Business Jets revealed a cabin modification to the 747-8 VIP, adding an extra 807 sq ft of floor space above the main deck of the aft cabin area between doors three and five. This "overhead space utilization" mod was designed by Greenpoint Technologies and adds a second floor in the aft cabin by moving wiring, hydraulics and air-conditioning components to the aft cabin sidewall. The overhead space will be accessible via a stairway and could be used as a lounge or accommodate up to 16 enclosed berths.
Dassault unveiled a new interior for its Falcon 7X trijet at EBACE, designed by BMW DesignworksUSA and on display in S/N 44 at the EBACE static display. Available as an option in the first quarter of 2011, the new interior offers subtle curves throughout the interior. A single-arc carpet element visually stretches and links the front and back ends of the cabin. Curved bulkheads give the main cabin area a roomier feel, and curved surfaces make it easier for passengers and crew to move about.
An Emivest Aerospace SJ30 occupied its usual space on the EBACE'09 static display; this jet is S/N 7, owned by Action Aviation chairman Hamish Harding. Action Aviation is an SJ30 distributor, and Harding expects his company to receive its first SJ30 built under the Emivest banner later this year. The next airplane off the line, S/N 8, is scheduled for delivery in the third quarter, followed by S/N 10, slated for actor Morgan Freeman, then Action Aviation's S/N 9. According to Emivest, positions are sold into 2011.
Farnborough Aircraft has found new ownership and brought the prototype single-engine turboprop Kestrel to the EBACE static display. Business development director Adrian Norris said that he is looking for a U.S. partner to help bring the Kestrel to market. The goal is to seek FAA certification first, because single-engine IFR rules in Europe still constrain the market for aircraft such as the Kestrel. Certification should take three years once the program is launched.
In its native Switzerland Pilatus Aircraft was well represented on the EBACE static display and in the exhibit hall. The sales success of the PC-12 has yet to generate
a serious competitor in the single-engine turboprop market, but companies such
as Comp Air, Epic Aircraft and Farnborough Aircraft have all announced plans
to build competing airplanes. None of those companies has come close to certification, so Pilatus will own that market for some years to come.
BAE Systems Regional Aircraft said that "sales have taken off" for its executive-configured four-engine Avro Business Jet. There are about 25 ABJs in service or undergoing conversion thus far, and BAE still builds new aircraft for government customers.
Avions de Transport Régional has also joined the business aviation market, with executive versions of the ATR 42 and 72 airliners. Corporate ATRs seat 10 to 50 people in a six-foot, three-inch stand-up cabin and offer better fuel efficiency than most similar-sized turboprops, according to ATR. Seven corporate/VIP operators currently fly ATRs.
Aerion's goal to develop a supersonic business jet could be bolstered by a plan to encourage a major manufacturer to participate in a joint design study. Aerion's hope is that this design study, essentially the nine- to 12-month proof-of-concept phase of the program, would result in a decision by the partner to proceed with full-scale development and production of the Aerion SSBJ. "We are confident we will reach an agreement with an OEM," said Aerion vice chairman Brian Barents. "The challenges are many, but there is a desire on the part of all parties to make this happen."

Pitch Perfect: 5 Top Tips For The Perfect Sales Pitch
When it comes to pitching your business idea, product or services to prospective investors, clients or customers, the task at hand can seem daunting and if you are under-prepared, doomed to fail. Many businesses rely on the success of their in-person sales pitch or presentation and while you might be adept at running your business from behind the scenes, perhaps you have less experience actually selling what you do.
It can also be difficult to find time to plan out what exactly it is that you want to say. You know the business like the back of your hand, but this won't be enough to convince a potential buyer to hand over their cash. You have to understand, not only the way that your business works, but why it works for your clients. Read our 5 tips below so that you can become pitch perfect.
1 The elephant in the room: talk about it
Address your clients' concerns head on. Don't even give them a chance to bring it up. Take time to think about what your customers are the most hesitant about when it comes to buying into your service, or acknowledge the less clearly defined steps in your business plan. Do not apologise for these problems but offer solutions.
Communication at this early stage can help foster a better working relationship and save you from misunderstandings in the future. It will also clear the air and reflect positively on your ability to solve issues and cater to individual circumstances.
2. The language you use is important
Firstly, no one will get excited about a product or service that you can't even muster a drop of genuine enthusiasm for. Get excited and get involved with what you are selling: this is your business, tell us why it is important to you, why you love doing it and how long you've been at the top of your game.
Using emotive, inspirational language is a great way to engage your audience and help them better understand your product on a personal level. People invest in people, not companies, so let your personality shine through and make sure you are someone that they want to work with.
3. This is a conversation, not a sales pitch
Whether or not you feel comfortable standing up in front of a power point presentation in a formal environment to give your pitch, you should remember that the atmosphere you cultivate while you pitch can have a dramatic impact on your prospects' decision to hire you.
You should avoid situations that see you talking for ten minutes straight and then taking questions at the end. Your aim should be to go in knowing how your product helps people and leave understanding how it will help this particular client. Listen to what they say they need, talk to them about how what you do will benefit them in the short and long term. Make them like you. If they don't hire you this time round, they might remember you next time.
4. Use props, proto-types and images to tell a story – sparingly
Don't over-do it with the props. They can be great to add something extra to your pitch, helping you engage your audience by allowing them to picture themselves using your product or service. They also allow you to show off what you can do without having to say the words, "I'm really good at what I do," without being able to back up the claim.
For designers, something as simple as a great business card can create a great impression on prospective clients and it sits in their wallet for X amount of time, keeping your name and design ideas in the back of their mind.
5. Use examples to back up what you are saying
Examples and statistics should be treated in the same way as props and images. They're a great way to back up what you are saying, but you shouldn't over-use them because then the whole pitch becomes a numbers game. Remember, you are trying to cultivate a personal connection.
Include enough examples figures to sufficiently verify the claims you are making about your greatness, without boring your prospects.
Keep in mind that your pitch is one of many. Your prospective clients will have seen many before yours and may have a few more lined up for after you leave. You need to create a lasting impression in order to secure their business. Emphasise the unique points about the benefits that you offer – what can they get from you that doesn't exist elsewhere in the market?
If you are looking for a more in-depth report on how to plan and prepare for the big pitch, including some weird and wonderful stories of some of the most bizarre pitches of all time, download Pensar's e-book to make your life easier and help you avoid facing those Pitching Nightmares.

Jarvis Cocker is to present a new late-night series on BBC Radio 4 next month, conducting a "nocturnal exploration of the human condition".
The Pulp frontman, who presents his Sunday Service programme on BBC 6 Music, will uncover the stories of the "befuddled, the banged-up and the bedbound", said Radio 4.
In an interview with Radio Times, Cocker confirmed that the programme will air for half an hour from 11pm, starting on April 5.
He said that the new series would feature "various people telling stories in their own words about what they get up to at night".
Giving examples, he pointed to "a guy who likes to go up to his allotment and drink cans of beer while waiting to see if a badger comes out", and "people who gamble all night in slightly shady poker clubs".
The show will also include an interview with a man who had a row with his girlfriend and then ended up falling asleep in an empty building behind a washing machine. Waking in the morning, the man found that he had a new appreciation for "the sounds and echoes of dereliction".
Cocker said that he was attracted to doing the show, called Wireless Nights, because he has "always been quite nosy". He said that he hopes to become the "glue" that "makes these strands adhere together".
The singer, who won the rising star prize at the 2010 Sony Radio Academy Awards for his 6 Music show, has previously appeared on Radio 4 for Desert Island Discs in 2005, a guest editorship of Today in 2008 and documentary In Search of the Holy Whale last year.
> Jarvis Cocker supports the Occupy movement
