the question remains will these 8 aircraft still be operational when the programming is finally installed, or will they be in the desert?

Further will the pilots being trained still be in the service at that point?

If it's just software being upgraded then chances are good it will happen.
|Quoting Revelation (Reply 1):
Surely some will be.
|Quoting kanban (Thread starter):
what is the point in training them?
|Quoting tommytoyz (Reply 3):
That's a great point. Someone should ask the Marines if all the pilots now flying the F-35 are contractually obligated to stay on beyond 2019 and for how long beyond 2019. That is the only way it would make sense to train pilots now - and even that's a stretch because the same pilots could just as easily wait a few more years to start training.
|Quoting tommytoyz (Reply 3):
the A and C versions only require 3 training flights to qualify on the F-35.

Whats the 'good news' here? What's the cost overrun on this program now?
Concurrency costs were originally estimated to be roughly 5%-8% of recurring flyaway costs. Over the past year, the F-35 program has worked with Lockheed Martin to refine the estimate of concurrency costs based on actual F-35 discrete data results from qualification events. As a result of this approach, our concurrency estimate has decreased to 3%-5% of recurring flyaway costs
As in any complex development program there are challenges, but I believe the enhanced capability of the F-35 will provide the backbone of the US combat air superiority for generations to come. The technological capabilities of the aircraft are sound. The program's management is rising to the challenges of managing this complex system with discipline, transparency and accountability. Our progress continues at a slow but steady pace. I intend on completing this program within the budget and schedule I have been given. I ask that you hold me, my team, our stakeholders and contractors accountable over the coming months and years to ensure that we develop and deliver the warfighting capability this country needs.

And whats the latest betting line in Vegas for the C model's redesigned tail-hook actually working this summer?
A Critical Design Review was completed in February 2013 on a redesigned arresting hook system and modeling and simulation involving the redesigned hook showed a marked improvement in performance. Ground test of this newly redesigned hook is scheduled at Lakehurst, NJ in the 4th Quarter of 2013, followed by aircraft carrier qualifications in 3rd Quarter of 2014. Although work remains to be done, I am confident this new hook will meet our needs.
|Quoting ThePointblank (Reply 9):
Those are the words
|Quoting kanban (Reply 11):
on the tail hook, it is interesting that with a sense of urgency to correct the fault, and resume carrier trials, it will take over two years to correct and retrofit. This not a criticism of the plane, but one of the manufacturer. This part of the overrun costs should not be split with the government.
|Quoting seachaz (Reply 12):
The tail hook problem to me is one that should never have happened - its not new technology, its not even a new approach to an existing problem.

Eglin AFB receives its first Block 2A F-35
By: Dave Majumdar Washington DC
The US Air Force's 33rd Fighter Wing at Eglin AFB, Florida, received its first Block 2A configuration Lockheed Martin F-35A on 6 May. Another similarly configured aircraft is scheduled to arrive at the base later in the month.
This aircraft called, AF-25, is equipped with an initial version of the Block 2A configuration, but Eglin AFB will receive aircraft with a more advanced version of the software package later in the year, says Lt Col Lee Kloos, commander of the wing's 58th Fighter Squadron.
The squadron will receive the last of its 24 primary authorized aircraft and two backup aircraft by February 2014. Around that same time, the unit will start helping prepare the USAF's second training unit at Luke AFB, Arizona, which is expected to start receiving F-35As in January 2014, gear up to start training operations.
US Air Force maintenance troops working on the Lockheed Martin F-35A Joint Strike Fighter at Eglin AFB, Florida, say the stealth coatings on the new fifth-generation type are proving easier to work on than those on earlier low-observable (LO) platforms.
Maintaining the LO coatings on the new aircraft marks "a significant improvement", says Senior Master Sgt Eric Wheeler, a maintainer assigned to the 33rd Fighter Wing at the base. "Typically, [it] has not caused us a whole lot of downtime on this jet."
As maintenance personnel have become used to working on the F-35, the process has also become a lot easier. "We started off with an engine run being a huge event for us, [and progressed] to flying a four-turn-four," Wheeler says, referring in the latter case to a situation where a four-ship formation of aircraft can return from a sortie and be swiftly prepared to take off again.
Kloos says the F-35 is a stable refueling platform. Behind the tanker, handling qualities of the Lockheed Martin F-16 are "like driving a bumpy gravel road, while in the F-35 it's a smooth, paved highway."
The view is echoed by Tech Sgt. William Joe Parker, boom operator in the 336t Air Refueling Sqn Boeing KC-135 for the first refueling mission at the Eglin ITC. "He just parked the aircraft behind ours."
The F-35's flight-control laws change when the refueling-receptacle doors are opened, making it easier for the pilot to make small corrections, a technique similar to that used in the F-16.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Air Force plans to start operational use of Lockheed Martin Corp.-built F-35 fighter jets in mid-2016, a year earlier than planned, using a similar software package as the Marine Corps, two sources familiar with the plans said on Monday.
The Air Force's decision to accelerate its introduction with a slightly less capable version of the F-35 software package means the planes will carry fewer weapons at first, although the software will later be upgraded to the final version, said the sources, who were not authorized to speak publicly.
Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek said a final decision had not been made and declined to comment further. A spokesman for the Pentagon's F-35 program office declined to comment.
The decision reflects the military's desire to start using the new warplanes, which are already rolling off the assembly line at Lockheed's sprawling Fort Worth, Texas, plant, even as military officials continue to test the plane.
"This decision gets that (U.S.) fifth-generation capability out on the front lines that much sooner," said one of the sources familiar with the Air Force's plans. "It also sends a message about confidence in the program to Congress and the international partners."
Former Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne said accelerating operational use of the new warplane would allow the Air Force to learn more about the F-35's integrated battle management system.
"This is not just about replacing aging F-15's or F-16's; it is about changing the order of battle and truly embracing a integrated form of warfare where the F-35 manages the targeting and directs supporting fire at the same time as providing more precise aim points," Wynne told Reuters in an email.
The Air Force, Marines and Navy must report to Congress by June 1 on their target dates for initial operational capability, or IOC, which marks the point when the services have enough planes on hand to go to war if needed. Actual deployments usually lag IOC dates by about a year.
The sources said the services would send Congress a list of target or "objective" dates for declaring initial operational capability and a list of "threshold" dates, or deadlines.
The Marines Corps is sticking to its plan to begin early operational use in mid-2015 of its F-35B jets, which can take off and land like a helicopter. It will be the first of the three U.S. military services to start using the jets.
|Quoting kanban (Reply 23):
So one wonders why set the plane down in the first place? for a potty break that you have to leave any munitions behind to get off again?
F-35 Aircraft – Subprogram costs decreased -$4,942.4 million (-1.5 percent) from $331,855.2 million to $326,912.8 million, due primarily to decreases in the prime contractor and subcontractor labor rates (-$7,853.3 million) and revised airframe and subcontractor estimates that incorporate the latest actual costs from early Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) lots (-$1,121.3 million). There were additional decreases to correct cost allocations between the aircraft and engine subprograms that were established in the December 2011 SAR (-$981.0 million), lower estimates of required risk for initial spares (-$698.3 million), other support reductions due to maturation of the technical baseline and further definition of customer requirements and Service beddown plans (-$1,032.9 million). These decreases were partially offset by the application of revised escalation indices (+$7,016.4 million).
F-35 Engine – Subprogram costs increased $442.1 million (+0.7 percent) from $63,856.6 million to $64,298.7 million, due primarily to revised escalation indices (+$1,301.3 million), correction of cost allocations between the aircraft and engine subprograms (+$981.0 million), and a lower near-term ramp that extended completion from FY 2029 to FY 2032 (+$230.7 million). These increases were partially offset by revised estimates to incorporate the latest actual costs from early LRIP lots (-$848.8 million), outyear offsets of new escalation indices (-$865.2 million), and lower estimates of required risk for initial spares (-$362.9 million).
The Pentagon is revealing the initial operational capability (IOC) dates for the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) in a new report to the US Congress delivered on 31 May, as required by law.
The US Air Force, the largest US Department of Defense (DOD) customer for the tri-service jet, will declare its F-35A variant operational in 2016. "If the F-35 Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) Version 7 executes according to plan, Air Force F-35A IOC criteria could be met between August 2016 (Objective) and December 2016 (Threshold)," the report says.
The Marines will declare IOC when the first squadron of between 10 and 16 aircraft is trained and ready "to conduct CAS, offensive and defensive counter air, air Interdiction, assault support escort, and armed reconnaissance in concert with Marine Air Ground Task Force resources and capabilities". The USMC also requires the jet's Autonomic Logistic Information System V2 software to declare IOC. Like the USAF, the Marines require Block 3F for their future needs, the report says.
The US Navy however is holding firm on requiring the full Block 3F configuration for its F-35C IOC date. "If the F-35 IMS Version 7 executes according to plan, Navy F-35C IOC criteria could be met between August 2018 (Objective) and February 2019 (Threshold)," the report reads.
The estimate on upgrades for the first five contracts of 90 aircraft has dropped to about $1.2 billion from $1.7 billion, the U.S official said in a new report to Congress on "concurrency." That's the system under which the fighters are being built even as they're still in development.
The projected cost to retrofit the 32 aircraft in the fifth production contract -- the latest signed -- has dropped to $320 million from the $450 million the Pentagon estimated last year, in an example cited in the report.
The estimate is good news to Lockheed because the company must pay an increasing share of costs for upgrading planes beginning with the fifth contract.
The drop in concurrency costs follow a 1.1 percent decline reported last month that reduces the program's total projected cost to $391.2 billion to develop and build 2,443 jets for the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps.

|Quoting BigJKU (Reply 44):
All of the different cost factors are important depending on what you are trying to decide to do and they are not unique to the F-35 at all.

If the most authoritative document on F-35 unit costs has serious flaws, what data can objective observers rely on? Fortunately, the Pentagon comptroller%u2019s shop publishes a more reliable annual series of reports that provides more accurate insight on what an F-35 actually costs.
|Quoting tommytoyz (Reply 46):
The difference in operating cost between the F-16 and F-35 has shrunk in the latest SAR? WHY? Not due to the F-35 operating costs, no. But because the F-16 costs have been inflated beyond the real world numbers. They know what the numbers are very very well, but have inflated them.
|Quoting tommytoyz (Reply 46):
Maybe we should do the reverse too and say if the F-35 could pull 9 sustained Gs like the F-16 can, or could accelerate like the F-16 - that would cost additional for the F-35. But these are all accounting gimmicks, in an attempt to make the F-35 look better from all angles. But it is fraud. The F-16 and the F-35 are different planes and the cost a certain amount to operate. Inflating one to make the other look better is fraud.

NASCAR: Biffle Leads 1-4 Roush Sweep in Finale; Stewart Clinches Second Title
Tony Stewart drove a smart and steady race in the NASCAR Nextel Cup season finale at Homestead Miami Speedway on Sunday to claim his second series title, making him one of only 14 drivers to claim multiple series titles since 1949. His 15th-place finish gave him the championship by 35 points over Greg Biffle and Carl Edwards, who tied for second place (with the nod going to Biffle on the races-won tiebreaker) after Jimmie Johnson's title quest ended with a blown tire and subsequent crash on Lap 126.
At the front of the field, Biffle put on a very strong late-race charge to take the win by a fraction of a second over Mark Martin, with Matt Kenseth and Edwards making it a 1-4 Roush Racing sweep. Casey Mears finished fifth after an impressive run, with Dave Blaney, Ryan Newman, Kevin Harvick, Jeff Gordon and Jeremy Mayfield completing the top 10.
The race had shaped up as a battle among Edwards (who led the most laps), Newman, Gordon and Mears, who was leading by three seconds with 15 laps remaining when the caution flew for a spring rubber that fell onto the track. Blaney stayed out under the ensuing caution and led on the restart, but was swallowed up by oncoming rush of faster, better-handling and new-tired cars, with Martin sweeping by to take the lead, but then Biffle seemingly came out of nowhere to make a three-wide pass for the lead with 11 laps to go that sealed the deal. Martin gave it everything he had (as he always does) to get the win, but came up a few inches short.
Kenseth also had a late-race charge to get third after a middling performance throughout the race, and Edwards came up to fourth from ninth in the closing laps, helped by the backwards-heading cars of Blaney and Gordon.
The closing-laps drama centered on Biffle and Edwards, with both battling for second in the championship (which is worth about $300,000 more than third). Both were charging as hard as they could as the race wound down, but Biffle had gotten as far in front as possible (the lead), and Edwards was chasing but only made it to fourth. They wound up tied for second, but Biffle took second based on having won six races to Edwards' four.
Johnson could only shake his head in wonderment after crashing out, and his 32nd-place finish dropped him from second to fifth in the final standings, behind Stewart, Biffle, Edwards and Martin. Other notables included two retirees, Rusty Wallace and Ricky Rudd, who finished 13th and 37th, respectively. Both will be missed.
It was a great way to end the season, with a nail-biter of a race, an interesting title fight, and a couple of favorites racing for the last time. Next year will see a lot of new faces in new places, and we'll wipe the slate clean now and get ready for Daytona.
NASCAR Nextel Cup Top Five:
1) Greg Biffle, No. 16 Roush Racing Ford Taurus, 267 laps
2) Mark Martin, No. 6 Roush Racing Ford Taurus, 267 laps

golf bal simulation
i have problems to simulate a turning golfball , altough i can simulate one in fixed position i want to simulate that it in 3 directions and find out what the best is in certain direction and speed so left turning or the other way right turning
i only can find to simulate moption of a whole domain with a inlet , so guess this is not right for this kind of simulation or is it?
Re: golf bal simulation
any one??????
Re: golf bal simulation
I am assuming you are modelling the golf ball dimples spinning. I would use a rotating frame of reference to do this. You can change the rotation axis and direction to generate different ball spins.
Correctly modelling the effect of the dimples on the boundary layer would be difficult and will require careful validation. Good luck.
Glenn Horrocks
Re: golf bal simulation
hi glenn thanks i have used rotating frame,but how do i see in simulation how the ball is spinning altough the boundery layers is second order first i want to see the ball spinning and its effect then the change in mesh but now i just cannot see any movement is it me or...........
Re: golf bal simulation
To see the spin fire up CFX-Post and look at the mesh. You will see it spin (If you have set it up right!). You should also see the effect of the spin in variables such as "Velocity" (measured relative to the local frame of reference, in this case rotating) and "Velocity in Stn Frame" (measured relative to a stationary or absolute frame of reference).
Glenn Horrocks
Re: golf bal simulation
well thats the problem i see the velocity in stn frame but not any movement of mesh so i do something wrong but what?
Re: golf bal simulation
Hi there,
If your simulation is steady state then your final solution won't have "mesh motion". To see it "moving" you will have to set it manually, I guess by using keyframes on CFX-Post.
If, on the other hand, your did a transient simulation (and thus used Transient Rotor-Stator interface) all your transient results will already have "mesh motion" embedded.
Re: golf bal simulation
you say ." to see it moving you have to set it manually "
but what do i set manuallt then
key frame in animation does not show me moving mesh
i am really stuck with this one
Re: golf bal simulation
If you did a steady state simulation your results file holds only the variable values of an average in time. Your mesh is actually still. You motion would just be post-processing.
Keyframe won't show you the mesh moving unless you tell it to do so. I've never done this, but my guess is that you'd have to manually rotate your the golf ball by small angles and create keyframes according to these changes.

How To Apply Surf Board Wax
Learning how to apply surfboard wax will help maintain footing and protect your surfboard over time. Applying wax to a surfboard is a quick and simple process. The wax on a surfboard will provide you with greater traction and control. Surfboards are generally slick and unlike a skateboard do not ride with grip tape. Learning how to apply wax on a surfboard will produce the best results. Improper waxing causes lumping and uneven traction points. Proper application of wax to a surfboard will depend on whether the board is new or used. This article will take you through the removal process and application of surfboard wax. This will give you the entire lifecycle needs to waxing a surfboard.
Things you will need to do this:
- Surfboard
- Waxing comb
- Wax
How to wax a surfboard:
- For a surfboard with wax already applied and ready for a new application, you will need to use the waxing comb. Using the end with the teeth, rub it over the board in a circular motion. Turn the comb over and use the straight edge to remove the wax.
- Follow this process across the entire board. Once the old wax has been removed, the application of the new wax is ready. The wax you will use is called surfboard wax. Application is done liberally and completely.
- Take the flat portion of the wax, not the edge to do the applying. Rub the wax over the surfboard in a tight circular motion. Once you have applied wax to the surfboard, you are ready to go surfing.

text: Alright folks, please forgive me for asking some seriously lame questions. I've searched everywhere and haven't been able to find any answers that make sense to me ... why? Because I'm lame. I have, however, rooted my phone and am pretty comfortable using ClockworkMod and/or ROM Manager (Lite). SPRecovery, too ... I used CM6 for a little while (pretty rad) and tried using UD8 this morning (wouldn't load, oh well) but the thing is, I like the stock image. All I want to do is overclock a bit to around 800 or so. I tried using ChevyNo1 kernels, but I don't think I'm doing it right. Is there a way to check (using terminal or something) to see what the CPU speed is? I'd really hate to have to spend 1

The case of a 58-year-old man with a large midthoracic oesophageal diverticulum and a left diaphragmatic relaxation who presented with night regurgitations, abdominal bloating, epigastric burning and a sensation of fullness after meals is reported. The patient underwent a successful thoracotomic diverticulectomy with left diaphragmatic plicature. The postoperative course was uneventful. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of an association between midthoracic oesophageal diverticulum and left diaphragmatic relaxation. Moreover, we hypothesised that the diverticulum was caused by a pulsion mechanism due to obstruction of the distal oesophagus secondary to diaphragmatic relaxation.
Midthoracic diverticulum is a rare disease (15% of all oesophageal diverticula), most commonly secondary to tracheobronchial lymph nodes affected by inflammatory processes. A midthoracic diverticulum is usually a traction diverticulum, produced by continued peristalsis of the oesophagus against a fixed oesophageal adhesion. The majority of these diverticula are the result of oesophageal motility disorders, due to a lack of coordination between the distal oesophagus and lower oesophageal sphincter (LES).1 The symptoms of midthoracic oesophageal diverticulum vary widely, ranging from primary symptoms, such as dysphagia and regurgitation, to oesophagitis, bleeding and chest pain.2 3 Many patients with small diverticula are asymptomatic, and therefore surgical management is usually reserved for patients with larger symptomatic diverticula.4 In most published series, oesophageal diverticulectomy has been performed via thoracotomic or thoracoscopic approaches.5
Diaphragmatic relaxation is a pathology rarely observed because it generally has few symptoms. Its causes include trauma, neuromuscular disorders, iatrogenic disease (especially cardiac or mediastinal surgery), cervical spondylosis and infection.6 7 We report the first case of an association between midthoracic oesophageal diverticulum and diaphragmatic relaxation, probably due to abnormal rise of the emidiaphragm.
A 58-year-old man was referred to our institute in November 2007, with severe night regurgitations, abdominal bloating, epigastric burning and a sensation of fullness after meals.
Oesophagogastroduodenoscopy and oesophageal barium radiography showed a giant midthoracic oesophageal diverticulum and chest x-ray showed left diaphragmatic relaxation.
A spiral CT confirmed a giant diverticulum in the right side of the middle third of the oesophagus. The diverticulum pulled up the gastro-oesophageal junction but was not associated with hiatus hernia. The CT also showed an important left diaphragmatic rise (figure 1A,B).
Surprisingly, oesophageal manometry showed normal pressure of the LES.
The patient (figure 2) underwent a left posterolateral thoracotomy. After division of the triangular ligament, the oesophagus was mobilised (figure 2A) and a giant midthoracic diverticulum was found strictly adherent to the superior vena cava, aorta and right mediastinic pleura. The diverticulum was mobilised from adjacent tissues and the point of origin from the oesophageal muscle was identified. After mobilisation of the neck of the diverticulum, it was excised using a TA55 roticulator (figure 2B). The oesophageal muscle layers over the stump of the diverticular neck were approximated using 3-0 polydioxanone interrupted sutures (figure 2C). Finally, a diaphragmatic plicature using an interrupted non-absorbable suture was performed (figure 2D).
There were no intraoperative complications and the postoperative course was uneventful. A gastrographin swallow did not show any sign of leakage, and chest x-ray showed the left side of the diaphragm had returned to its normal site (figure 3A,B). The patient was discharged in the 11th postoperative day; after 1 year the patient is asymptomatic and has gained 5 kg in weight.
Midthoracic oesophageal diverticula represent 15% of all oesophageal diverticula. Most previous studies highlight the importance of a traction mechanism in the pathogenesis of oesophageal diverticula, especially in the middle third of the oesophagus because of its proximity to the tracheobronchial lymph nodes affected by inflammatory processes. The aetiology of diverticula has been clarified recently, and the association between midthoracic oesophageal diverticula and motor disorders, secondary to increased intraluminal pressure, has been stressed.
In the present case we hypothesise that the oesophageal diverticulum was related to relaxation of the diaphragm. The rise of the left hemidiaphragm would cause lack of space and consequently increased pressure in the left hemithorax. This would create a siphon-shaped angle at the gastro-oeosphageal junction, causing an increase in intraluminal oesophageal pressure. The subsequent disturbance in the movement of the oesophagus would induce the oesophageal diverticulum through a pulsion mechanism, on the right side because the left hemidiaphragm is affected. Due to the pathogenesis of the diverticulum, we did not perform anti-reflux surgery. We chose a left thoracotomic approach, even though the diverticulum was on the right side of the oesophagus, because we also had to perform the left diaphragmatic plicature.
This report demonstrates an association between left diaphragmatic relaxation and a midthoracic oesophageal diverticulum, not previously described in the literature, due not to specific motor disorders but to obstruction of the distal oesophagus as a result of diaphragmatic relaxation causing a siphon-shaped angle at the gastro-oesophageal junction. The particular ethiopathogenesis with a pulsion mechanism in this case shows that the relaxation is the main cause of this condition.
Plication is a valuable treatment for unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis, which improves patients' dyspnoea and work ability. Because of the risk of aspiration and potential life-threatening pulmonary complications in some patients, surgery should be undertaken in all patients with thoracic oesophageal diverticula regardless of the presence or absence of symptoms. We did not perform a fundoplication or a myotomy but rather treated the diaphragmatic relaxation with plication because the relaxation was the first cause of the diverticulum and accompanying symptoms.

Hanks, who had signed a new one-year extension to his contract last month, left the club on Saturday following Sale's 45-9 defeat by Saracens at Edgeley Park the previous night.
Diamond, who was appointed as chief executive last month having joined the club last year as executive director of sport, vowed he would conduct a full review of the coaching team and playing squad in the wake of the defeat. Hanks's dismissal could be the first of several changes.
"That was a totally unacceptable performance," said Diamond. "Defensively, we were a shambles. We have to have a long, hard look at what we are doing. There will be changes afoot all over the show."
Diamond, who has just completed a successful overhaul of the club's commercial department, will now focus his energies as interim director of rugby as Sale, who are seventh, aim to qualify for next season's Heineken Cup.
Hanks joined the club in July having been sacked as director of rugby at Wasps in February last year.
His dismissal appears to have been prompted by a series of poor defensive performances. Friday night's defeat was the third game in a row in which the Sharks had conceded more than 30 points.
Diamond has grand plans to transform Sale into a "northern super club" and last week confirmed the signing of Danny Cipriani from the Melbourne Rebels, after having already clinched the services of Scotland lock Richie Gray.
Sale are also hopeful of completing a deal this week to play at Super League club Salford City Reds' new 12,000-seater stadium in Barton next season.

Mr. Sarrazin is responsible for the financing, investor relations and treasury operations on a global basis. Since joining the company in 2011, he's led the implementation of multiple international credit agreements, in addition to playing a key role in the sale of the pulp and paper division.
When and why did you first start thinking about exporting as part of your business?
We have been exporting for decades. Now, more than 95 per cent of our sales are made outside Canada. With our internationally renowned expertise and proprietary products, export is not an option for Ovivo. We need to be global and we leverage our global platform as a differentiator from most of our competition.
What was your export journey like to get to where you are today?
Going to international markets is in the DNA of Ovivo/GLV. The company was built through international acquisitions and selling equipment on a global basis.
EDC resources to help you export
What is the biggest difference between selling in Canada and selling in another country? How did you adapt to that difference?
We have a global platform from which we serve and follow our internationally reputable clients, wherever their projects are located. Obviously, working internationally brings a lot of challenges but also brings tremendous opportunities such as replicating our successes to different countries as well as leveraging and enhancing our expertise and experience between our expert teams around the world.
Can you share the best lesson learned from a bad exporting experience?
You have to manage your risks. EDC has some excellent products to accompany companies abroad. The geopolitical situation can change rapidly. It is important to manage the risks that you can't control with proper insurance.
What is one characteristic that you believe every exporter should possess?
A mix of openness to the opportunities offered by foreign markets and cautiousness to the additional risks. For the latter, EDC can be an extraordinary partner to accompany all exporters abroad.

With the town of Lexington continuing to grow, traffic and roads remain an issue with many residents within the county.
To address those concerns, Lexington Mayor Steve MacDougall announced some upcoming projects during his "State of the Town" address Monday.
"As the town continues to grow, we know our number one priority is to alleviate traffic woes," MacDougall said. "This year the Town of Lexington launched our Adaptive Computerized Signalization System."
MacDougall said the town currently has 12 signals that are "live," meaning they have been converted over to "real time" control in place of "analog rotation" control.
The affected intersections include:
- Main Street at Church Street and Lake Drive.
- West Main Street at Park Road and Old Chapin Road.
- US 378 (Sunset Boulevard at the intersections of Corley Mill Road, Cromer Road, I-20. Westbound Ramp, I-20 Eastbound Ramp, Leaphart Road, Lott Court and Northside Boulevard.
"Work continues on completing the last seven signals for Phase I, as the contractor is installing fiber communications between each signal," MacDougall said. "The completed project will include 35 total signals."
For this project, the town received $5.1 million from the Central Midlands Council of Governments with Columbia Area Transportation Study Share Funding and Lexington County.
MacDougall said money from the newly implemented 2% hospitality tax will also go towards road projects, with the goal being to increase safety and ease throughout Lexington.
MacDougall previewed three projects that are in the works for the coming year including one-way pairs at Lake Drive and Church Street, the widening of Ginny Lane near Sunset Boulevard and Saluda Pointe Drive and I-20 westbound ramp improvements.
"By pairing the Lake Drive and Church Street corridors, the capacity of this direction is doubled," MacDougall said. "The additional capacity allows significant increase in the amount of green light time that is allotted to Main Street signals."
MacDougall said designs for the project are in the final stages at the S.C. Department of Transportation and is expected to go to bid in the next 30 to 60 days with completion in the fall.
The other two projects are part of long term plans to address traffic and safety issues in the I-20/Sunset Boulevard area. Construction is expected to begin later in the year to minimize the burden of competing with school traffic.
Since 2000, the geographic area of the town of Lexington has grown to 10.69 total square miles, up from 6.37.

Unwed is a delightful mixture of Sex and the City and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Waking up in a tacky coffin and wearing off-brand shoes, Betsy Taylor can't believe the horrible turn her life has taken; then she discovers she's a vampire. Soon, Betsy becomes a participant in a power struggle between the forces of darkness. With only her friend Jessica and the hunky vampire Sinclair to help her, this new "Queen of Vampires" will have a tough time getting her afterlife straight.
Dying for more? Don't miss the other titles in the Undead series.
©2004 MaryJanice Davidson; (P)2006 Recorded Books
"Sexy, steamy, and laugh-out-loud funny, Davidson's chick-lit foray into the paranormal is delightful." (Booklist)
"Way Entertaining and so much fun!"
This is the first book of this series that I have "read" as well as the first book from this author. What an enjoyable book. The heroine is bratty, smart-mouthed and independent and the character development is wonderful. It is not your normal Vampire story and is such a wonderful change from the serious "OH NO, I AM A VAMPIRE" stories. The narrator does a great job and you feel she is really Betsy. I can't wait to continue all the books in this series.
If you are looking for a serious vampire story, this is not it. But if you enjoy humor, wittiness and fun with vampire fiction, you will be sorry you missed this one.
"Undead and Unwed"
I liked the story. I liked the majority of the characters. That's not to say I didn't not like the main character. But she is young and newly undead. With that said, she made it hard to enjoy the storyline with her constant babble, unwillingness to understand her new circumstances, and having to have everything her way. As a teenager, alright; as a new vampire, um, not so much. If I continue this series, it will be to see if she ever learns to shut up and listen and stop making you wish someone would take her head if only to make her be quiet. The narrator was great.
MaryJanice Davidson is fantastic. Her stories are witty and well-constructed, and she has created a wonderful protagonist. Betsy is superbly shallow. This series is a convergence of Sex in the City, the Shopaholic novel series, and paranormal/urban fantasy. Enjoy it. I know I did :)
"Fun, light comedy"
Reminiscent of Buffy the vampire slayer and Angle, good light hearted fun. Sarcastic characters balanced with some serious characters and pretty good plot. I guess that's why I wasn't disappointed by lack of maturity and substance like some reviewers who may have been in the mood for a more serious or drama like an Anne Rice kind of book. Nancy Wu delivers a great valley girl narration without overdoing it for the main character. Only one or two of the male characters voices were a little annoying but I liked most of male and female character voices she gave them. I agree that this book isn't a deep drama or for kids but I found it funny and entertaining and will be getting the next in the series.
"Enjoyable and funny :)"
Great narrator for me! I really got into to it and really felt that Nancy Wu 'was' Betsy. I loved Betsy's smart mouth, attitude and sassiness. Great cheeky dialouge,(loved it), with lots of giggles. I really enjoyed this and I'm looking forward to Book 2 (which I will be starting tonight). Enjoyable fun light story line - exactly what I was looking for.
"Smart and Sassy"
If you like smart and sassy heroines, cheeky dialouge with witty comebacks and a smart but easy to follow plot line then you should have a listen. The production of the audio is very good as well - Nancy Wu's voice is crisp and I personally LOVED her reading.
"A refreshing series"
I loved this series. I was looking for something fun to listen to and this book made me laugh and was very hard to stop listening to. Even for someone like me that is into more serious vampire books, it was a refreshing and different view. A great listen.
"Light Read That Kept Me Laughing"
What a fun start to this vampire series. While there is a bit of drama in this one, it's really more of a comedy and a light read. It's fun and entertaining chick lit.
Betsy is certainly not your typical vampire and she wants to live her death the same way she lived her life. She finds this hard to do since has "special" qualities that set her apart from all the other vampires. This gets her noticed fast and is the basis for the series. Her sarcasim and humor make this a hillarious read.
Her living friends Jessica and Mark are a great addition and kind balance Betsy out...and Eric Sinclair, her vapiric interest is quite intriging. Sinclair is a bit sarcastic as well and the banter between he and Betsy adds to the fun.
Nancy Wu does a great job as narrator, particularly with giving Betsy a voice. I will definetly pick up the next installment in this series.
"Enjoyable and Engaging"
This book was entertaining from begining to end. The story moved on at a good pace without getting predictable. I will definitely be getting all the other books from this series.
Deliciously naughty and funny. Can't wait to listen to additional downloads in this series. Makes me want to join the undead, but only on Betsy's terms.

Naperville, IL (PressExposure) September 30, 2009 -- When it comes to remodeling your kitchen, especially the cabinets, itâs easy to get hung up on looks. Yet you also want your new cabinets to be functional as well. To that end, DirectBuy of Greater Chicago, the leading home improvement and furnishings clubs with direct insider prices, recommend sliding cabinet doors as a functional yet attractive alternative.
âHow many times have you hit your head or run into a kitchen cabinet door that somebody left open? Sliding kitchen cabinet doors work in a similar fashion to sliding patio doorsâon a grooved run--only on a smaller scale. So if youâre tired of the bumps and bruises, installing beautiful kitchen cabinets with sliding doors instead is a great way to go,â said Jeremy Vest, owner of DirectBuy of DuPage County.
Kitchen cabinetry with sliding door fronts tend to work best in contemporary, modern, or Asian-inspired designs. Clear glass doors present an appealing alternative, giving you the opportunity to display your dinnerware or barware.
Sliding doors are also available in wood cabinets and often provide a clean and/or linear design that can dramatically enhance the appeal of your kitchen.
âBeyond all those benefits, sliding kitchen cabinet doors offer an added bonus in that they nest inside the cabinet when open but donât take up any additional storage space, added Vest.
DirectBuy carries everything you need for a kitchen remodel at prices direct from the manufacturers and their authorized suppliers. In addition, each DirectBuy club employs product specialists and designers who can help members create the kitchen that works best for their home.
For more than 38 years, DirectBuy clubs have offered members the opportunity to enjoy enormous savings on home furnishings, home improvement items, entertainment and outdoor products and accessories by purchasing from over 700 brand-name manufacturers and authorized suppliers. With several convenient locations in the greater Chicago area (Chicago, Gurnee, Hoffman Estates, Naperville, and Tinley Park), consumers can enjoy a comfortable, country-club setting, where they finally have the financial control of buying direct.

#4560 - Wednesday, April 4, 2012 - Editor: Jerry Katz
- #4560 - Wednesday, April 4, 2012 - Editor: Jerry KatzThe Nonduality Highlights - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NDhighlights
Lydia Davis, Ellen Emmet, and Canela Michelle are featured.
Lydia Davis
Awareness is like a thread that passes through the eye of the needle to embroider in dimensions of existence on the fabric of nothingness. -Anonymous (?)
Lydia Davis teaches graphic design at a college near where she lives and is a regular Highlights reader.
Interview with Ellen Emmet
The Yoga of Nonduality
Our true nature is unchanging Awareness. It is the source and the substance of all things. It welcomes all experiences. Its reality is our shared reality, without limits and universal. However, many of us believe that Awareness is limited and personal. We feel ourselves to be located inside a limited physical body. This deep sense of separation is at the core of all psychological suffering.
Once we realize and abide in our true nature, the body, the mind and the world become our instruments to express and celebrate our innate understanding, our loving nature and our deep sensitivity to beauty. Nonetheless, on the way, many of us are called to embark upon a deep exploration of our most intimate and direct experience
Nonduality Magazine: Please join us as I have a chat with Ellen Emmet about Non-Dual Therapy, Authentic Movement and The Essence of Yoga.
I see you were invited to speak at the SAND 2012 Conference in Europe. http://www.scienceandnonduality.com/europe/ Congrats! Tell us about that please. What will you be speaking about or presenting etc.?
Thank you! Ill be offering a workshop on the body and non-duality. It will include guided meditation, experiential explorations of the body (yoga) and conversations. I hope these meetings will address this:
That to become fully established in the non-dual understanding we must take a close look at our experience at the level of feeling, sensing and perceiving.
The belief in separation lives in unfounded conceptual interpretations of our experience; thats the level of thinking.
But it also and especially hides in less visible and irrational layers of feeling in the body. Some are simple intimate sensations that create the sense of being located inside the body. Others are more complex or subtler and very effective in giving a pseudo physical and energetic reality to the separate entity.
This level of exploration is often overlooked in the contemporary teaching of Advaita. It seems we are willing to look at our thinking in the light of our true nature but less open to offering our body to that very same light. Yet how can the body-mind be re-orchestrated by this understanding if unseen identifications are still operating at the level of feelings?
Both activities of investigating the mind and the body are sacred and natural. Neither come from a person. They come from the Invisible; they are the beautiful gesturing of Presence back towards Itself.
Nonduality Magazine: You state that Francis Lucille was your teacher from back in 2001. Can you tell us about some of the body awareness sessions and the many friendly encounters with Francis during those few years please? How did you find him initially?
Ellen: Up until my meeting with Francis, I was busy seeking relief from my suffering: The intense anxiety that coursed through my body or the heavy cloud of depression that enfolded me in a dark cocoon, expressed themselves through interconnected patterns of thinking, feeling and reacting. They were all I seemed to know or access of myself and they were not acceptable! So most of the time, I seemed to be caught in a repetitive cycle of avoiding, resisting and seeking.
Yet at the same time I can now see that there was a deeper more impersonal quest at work: a sacred quest. This one was motivated by the deep intuition of the Truth, which reached my mind and body in little glimpses here and there: in a meeting with a special friend, through the writings of enlightened beings, through dreams, in the dance
Eventually this invisible thrust brought me to Francis Lucille. It was a sacred meeting. Through it the light of Presence shined bright and pure. During many years I was moved to spend as much time as I could with Francis, eventually moving to Temecula where he lives. In this company my body and mind seemed to become highly receptive to the highest transmission of non-dual understanding.
Living near him and other friends, cooking, joking, meditating, doing yoga, simply hanging out, returned me to the truth over and over. The transmission was direct and pointed to a permanent establishment in Peace, Happiness and Love.
During the body awareness sessions we were persistently, patiently and repeatedly pointed back to our true nature at the level of feeling and sensation.
The feeling of being a separate limited being was met at that level. It was investigated openly, fearlessly and seen clearly for what it was.
Up until then, the realm of the body had remained impenetrable, irrational, layered by half visible feelings and scary like the dark forest in which the children get lost in fairy tales. But now we were being guided into the darkness with a torch and gentle encouragement. We could discover in our own time that the big, looming shadows were not ogres but trees, and the witch in the hut was just a little old lady. Soon we could see the whole forest in the light of day and the world and the horizon beyond stretching infinitely in all directions. Eventually the body was known as unfolding sensation reabsorbed in its very substance: infinite, open Awareness.

Canela MichelleWriting, Satsang schedule, NewsletterHello EveryOne,This weeks invitation is to look at, and Be With what honesty is to you.Honesty is such a relative commodity, changing vastly depending on who it is that is looking at what is honest and how one defines honesty. Often, people do not even realize that they have a definition of honesty and mostly assume that honesty is a common truth.The only honesty that is a common truth is the honesty that arises in the moment, from yourself to yourself. Depending totally on the depth of connection with yourself, the honesty will be a reflection of that. That is why honesty often changes over time - as one continues to evolve, one moment slipping into the next, deepening in this experiencing of life happening, how honesty appears to be will change accordingly.It can be so freeing to remember that no one else can share the same definition of honesty as yourself. Just as you are flowing along, getting to know yourself and your world increasingly, so is everyone else. If and when you feel shysted by another because they dont appear honest to you, remember that honesty is relative and will mean something different to another.What you can be sure of is this honesty with yourself when you look for it in the moment so key: in the moment it does not stretch beyond that as it may shift to something new in only another moment who knows?! All one can look for is what is true for themself in a moment and respond from That as one does.In actuality then, the definition (any idea of that) is let go of when one looks in honesty with themselves for what is true in a moment this truth will be made up of what appears in the moments of looking, not any definition beyond the moment. When you give yourself the freedom to let go of any definition (as they are revealed to you, or as you find them) of honesty, you instantly also release any wanting of another to be more honest or to conform to an idea of honesty (according to you) and instead be with what is actually true.Come along and Be With us in Satsang with Canela where the space supports finding out what is true for you in each and every moment.If you find this email supportive, please share it via email, or go to the Right Here, Right Now Blog to share via facebook and twitter at: http://canelamichelle.wordpress.com/2012/04/02/relative-honesty/(I would love your support to share this with others ~ thank you!)Satsang Meditation with CanelaNorth Vancouver, BCEvening Satsang MeditationMonday April 16th 2012 **Please note the date change!

The largest retail chain company Walmart is selling the 16GB storage option of the iPhone 6 for just $399. The retailer says that the regular price of the device 6 was $549. On the other had, the bigger sibling of the former, the 16GB iPhone 6 Plus Straight Talk prepaid smartphone is available from Walmart's Pre-Black Friday sale for only $499. The chain giant is offering the 16GB storage option of the iPhone 6s for only $649 and the iPhone 6s Plus for $749.

Meanwhile, online shoppers who place order on their cart with over $50 in value will be getting free shipping and Walmart will also be offering a top 20 list which will help shoppers find low prices items, worthy deals and exclusive specials.
Walmart also stressed out that it will be offering a 70-inch Vizio 4K Ultra HD Smart TV for less than a $1,000 in the coming days of its month-long holiday shopping season. The major U.S. retailer didn't disclose its plans, or any hints, for its 2016 Black Friday sales event, indicating that those would be announced a couple of week before Nov. 25 week.
It appears like Walmart Black Friday 2016 sales event plans will stress on a lower-priced 4K Ultra HD Smart TVs, which many shoppers will be getting for the first time. Walmart said it would be selling a bigger screen television set — 70-inch Vizio 4K Smart TV — for less than thousand dollars.

Another model, a 60-inch Vizio E-series TV, will be on sale in the upcoming Black Friday 2016. But the chain didn't provide the pricing of the variant. This item could be the E60u-D3, which sells for about $700. The retail chain titan indicated that it will be having more TV deals at special price online and in-app. Walmart added that it would be broader than what shoppers will find in nearby outlets, with a number of bigger screens and pricier models at steep discount.
Walmart will also be offering more exclusive items across many product sections, most especially in electronics category. It said there would be a special models of the Microsoft's Xbox One in a unique color editions, with exclusive software. Another one is the Xiaomi's Mi-box streaming media player that's available for only $69.
Moreover, as part of Walmart's Pre-Black Friday 2016 deals sales, the retailer just topped other chains in the early Walmart Black Friday 2016 sales. Starting today, shoppers can get a Microsoft Xbox One S 500GB bundle with any choice of video game titles, a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray movie, and an extra Controller for just $299.
Walmart outsmarts other retailer's Xbox One S bundle deals including Best Buy and Dell. The free game titles choices include the new Call of Duty, while the 4K UHD Blu-ray movie selections include Marvel's very own Deadpool. As predicted by many, the Xbox One S deals will be very a captivating steal during the Black Friday 2016 sales because it has HDR and Blur-Ray player.
Also, Walmart is offering a 3D virtual-reality drones which allows user get a point-of-view experience flying the drone by wearing VR headgear and it could be the Promark P70 VR Drone which currently sells for just $148.

Chartered mechanical engineers are concerned with all aspects of machinery and its moving parts. They may choose to apply their engineering skills to the design, construction and application of an almost endless range of machinery. Chartered engineers work in one of the three main engineering functions: Design, Research and Production.
Design: Engineers are concerned with turning ideas into plans for new products, or improvements to existing products. They use computer-aided design (CAD) systems to assist them in the production of highly complex designs.
Research and development: Engineers in research and development are concerned with solving complex engineering problems. They look for ways to modify or improve existing products or processes or develop new ones to take account of changing factors. They also create mathematical models on computer to predict and compare the performance of products or processes and may also build and test prototypes.
Production: Mechanical engineers working in production plan and design new production processes and look for ways to improve existing processes.
Hours of work are normally 37 to 40 per week. However, actual hours worked may be considerably longer, depending on the project they are involved in and the deadline to which they are working.
Work environments may range from quiet, modern, open-plan offices to factory production areas, which may be noisy. At times they may be required to visit outdoor sites, eg. to view product trials. Work can involve travel and short periods away from home.
Chartered mechanical engineers must have an interest in maths, science, technology, design, engineering and construction. They must be logical, inventive and have an inquiring mind, good judgement and reasoning skills. They should have the ability to lead others and work under pressure. They should also be skilled in the use of CAD, and have excellent communication, planning and organisational skills.
If you would like to know anything about Mechanical Engineer that does not appear on Hotcourses, further information can be found below.
