Nissan has opened its doors to its Sunderland factory to give schoolchildren an insight into the world of automotive manufacturing.
The UK's biggest car producer is staging events at its plant in Sunderland and at its European Technical Centre in Cranfield as part of the Government's 'See Inside Manufacturing' initiative.
Business Secretary Vince Cable said: "For too many young people the word manufacturing is a turn off.
"A worrying poll recently found that only one out of ten children aged 11 to 14 thought that engineering was an important job and even ranked being a politician as a better choice of career!
"We are determined to shake up old fashioned views of manufacturing. Through the Government's See Inside Manufacturing campaign and Nissan's events at Sunderland and Cranfield, we are giving young people the chance to see the exciting face of modern manufacturing which is highly skilled, high tech and highly paid."
Over two weeks at Nissan Sunderland Plant, 2,500 11-13-year-old students are taking part in the fourth Nissan Schools' Engineering Discovery Event, where they learn about modern car manufacturing, watch the Qashqai, Juke and Note being made on the production line, take part in educational games, and find out how engineers have supported and improved the manufacturing process at the plant over its rich 25- year history.
The event, which started on October 10, is targeted at children before they choose their GCSE subjects. It also includes a section on future production at the company's new lithium-ion battery plant, and the 100% electric Nissan Leaf.
Staff at Nissan's European Technical Centre (NTCE) in Cranfield, Bedfordshire held a further 'See Inside Manufacturing' event last week, where pupils from the surrounding area came to learn about design engineering and development. The children also met recent recruits who shared their experiences about becoming engineers.

Writing every day this month with NaBloPoMo and getting grateful with the lovely BecominNeurotic. And linking up with Trifecta because it's awesome and fun and you should try it.

The soles of her shoes were covered in a thin film of foamy grime. Her knuckles, insistently red and bulging, rapped timidly on the glass, barely making enough contact to elicit sound. She momentarily met his eyes as the door swung open, but they knew their place and quickly dipped back down again, servile.
He thought her rough, vulgar, unworthy of redemption or solace. It didn't occur to him that those thoughts might lessen his own worth. He wondered how someone so seemingly bedraggled could be expected to take responsibility for the cleanliness of his home. He wondered how the neighbors would take this.
Would they laugh behind his back – poor old Jan, good help is so hard to find. Would they shake their heads with gentle disdain, and revise his status in tandem without even a word between them? Would he carry that weight, heavy and dull, like the lead apron that shields potential generations from extinction during routine x-rays at the dentist's office? Step back in line with the wallflowers, the elderly, the girl who had survived an unconventional youth and often trailed off mid-sentence or tittered forlornly at the canadian viagra online way her coin had flipped?
What he knew to be true was that, in that instance, he would do just that. But this wasn't that. Even still he couldn't slight her outright. Couldn't pluck her, with heady violence coursing his veins, from her post and cast her roughly out. He was far too polite. He considered it his virtue.
In the forty-seven years still stretching out before him, he never did become more perceptive.

Bradford City enjoyed one of the most famous nights in their history as they stunned Arsenal with a penalty shoot-out win in the quarter-finals of the Capital One Cup.
Garry Thompson's first-half goal took the League Two club to within two minutes of winning the game in normal time before Thomas Vermaelen's late header.
But after no further goals in extra time, Vermaelen then missed the decisive penalty to ensure Bradford won their ninth successive shoot-out and reached the semi-final for the first time in their history.

Posts tagged: Spokane Tribe
As reported in this morning's paper, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers formally came out against a proposed West Plains casino as "encroachment" on Fairchild Air Force Base and the Spokane Tribe, which is planning the development, reiterated that it is no such thing.
Want to read more about it?
McMorris Rodgers' letter to the Bureau of Indian Affairs is below.
The statement of Spokane Tribal Chairman Rudy Peone can be found inside the blog.
U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers seems "misinformed" in her recent request to delay a government recommendation on the proposed Spokane tribal casino on the West Plains, the tribal chairman told a federal agency this week.
But the tribe won't object to the requested 45-day delay, if the department doesn't allow future attempts to delay the process "for reasons beyond meaningful justification."
In a letter to a top Interior Department official, Tribal Council Chairman Rudy Peone said the reasons McMorris Rodgers listed in last week's request for a delay don't match the facts of the long process of studying the project . . .
To read the rest of this item, or to comment, go inside the blog.
The federal government should delay its decision on a proposed tribal casino on the West Plains an extra 45 days to allow Spokane County to voice its objections, U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers said Thursday.
In a dw-ah letter to a high-ranking Interior Department official, McMorris Rodgers asked the Bureau of Indian Affairs to extend the comment period for the Final Environmental Impact Statement on the Spokane Tribe's proposed casino and retail development on land just outside Airway Heights. The congresswoman said Spokane County commissioners, who until recently were barred by a legal agreement from saying anything about the proposal, should be given an adequate opportunity to comment.
The current county commissioners oppose the project.
The bureau, in an impact statement released Feb. 1, said a plan to build a casino, hotel and shopping mall is the "preferred alternative" of four options it considered for the 145 acres purchased by the tribe away from its Eastern Washington reservation.
To read the rest of this item, or to comment, go inside the blog.
Former Gov. Mike Lowry and former Secretary of State Ralph Munro are against the Spokane Tribe's plan to build a casino near Airway Heights.
So much so that they wrote a guest column published today in the Seattle Times. It's "not good for tribes, our communities or for our state," they said.
Want to read this bipartisan argument of former state officials against the casino proposal? It can be found here.

Gearing up for awards show season, some of Hollywood's hottest celebrities showed up at Audi's Golden Globes Kick Off 2013 shindig last night (January 6).
"Modern Family" favorites Julie Bowen and Eric Stonestreet both looked to be in great spirits as they hammed it up for the shutterbugs outside Cecconi's Restaurant in Los Angeles.
Paying tribute to the iconic shows of yesteryear, the cast of "Modern Family" recreated some classic TV hits in a new photoshoot.
"Bewitched" was honored with Ty Burrell and Julie Bowen while their on-screen kids Nolan Gould, Sarah-Hyland, and Ariel Winter played Gilligan, Mary Ann, and Ginger from "Gilligan's Island."
Already in its fourth season, "Modern Family" is one of the hottest shows on television, and now fans can wear their loyalty on their hands.
Nicole by OPI has just announced a new 14-shade range of lacquers inspired by the hit ABC comedy, slated to debut in January 2013.
Stepping out for a media appearance, Julie Bowen showed up at "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" last night (November 27).
The "Modern Family" actress looked beautiful as she chatted with Jay about seeing Nicki Minaj wearing her yellow Emmy dress at the recent American Music Awards.
Keeping up her pace with the help of some tunes, Julie Bowen jogged around her Los Angeles neighborhood on Wednesday (November 7).
The "Modern Family" actress looked fit in a maroon zip-up sweatshirt, black workout leggings, and gray tennis shoes as she got caught like a deer in headlights by photographers.
Hard at work on their Emmy-winning comedy series, Julie Bowen and Eric Stonestreet got their sweat on while filming new scenes for "Modern Family" in Los Feliz, CA on Tuesday (October 30).
The hilarious duo, who star as characters Cameron and Claire, looked to be doing some hard labor as they got down and dirty for some unpleasant landscape work.
Showing their support for Southern Los Angeles' schools and their students, a handful of stars made appearances at L.A. Live's Event Deck to help put on the LA's Promise 2012 Gala on Tuesday night (October 9).
With this year's theme of "A Night of Magic" having been produced by magician David Copperfield, "Modern Family" actress Julie Bowen tended to hosting duties at the swanky fundraising effort.
That baby bump really suits her! A "pregnant" Sofia Vergara was spotted filming scenes for "Modern Family" in Los Angeles this afternoon (October 9).
The 40-year-old donned a lovely snake skin printed dress with her faux belly and was joined by co-star Julie Bowen during a quick lunch break.

Wore my new polka dot portfolio top when I visited my mom yesterday. Guess what she asked me? "IS THAT A POST IT ON YOUR TOP?"
Hello? No its not ;-) I had to make a check @home and the format of the square is really pretty much the same… hehe.
After seeing Burda style member sprashar's version I was inspired and had to buy the pattern.

A grenade is an explosive device traditionally thrown by hand, but may also be propelled by a rifle or launcher.
A gun turret is weapon mount designed to protect the user or mechanisms of a weapon system. The weapon itself is not a turret, but rather the protective housing of the user or mechanisms of the weapon system.

Helicopters are flying vehicles, typically with a single large main rotor to maintain lift with a tail rotor to counter rotation induced by this main rotor. They are useful in air to ground combat as well as for quickly inserting and recovering infantry close to the front line.
The most powerful weapon at short range. Effective against Zombies, Nazis, Demons, etc. Videogame shotguns tend to have exaggerated inaccuracy at long range- real life shotguns are still fairly accurate over a decent distance, while videogame shotguns rarely go more than fifteen feet before becoming completely ineffective.
A barrel is a hollow cylindrical container, traditionally made of wood staves and bound with iron hoops. In video games, it is used in many ways to fill up a level or even be used in one. They also may explode. Use caution when around barrels.
As a modern commodity, toilets have been portrayed very well in video games over the years.
The weapon of choice for accuracy at long distances. The sniper rifle's slow rate of fire makes it ineffective for close range combat, but its high calibre round ensures that it inflicts maximum damage against the target.
Assault Rifle refers to a basic design of a weapon that combines the abilities of older long-range rifles and the rapid fire of sub-machine guns. Common designs include the M-16, M-4, AK47 (and 74), and the L85A1.
Cars go places. Hopefully fast.
A laser is a focused beam of light, invisible through the air without some other medium (such as smoke) to illuminate it. Lasers are often used in video games as part of a targeting system, or as an offensive weapon in their own right.
The cigar is a more classy and a usually bigger counter-part to the cigarette.
This term can refer to both a visible shot onscreen in a shooter, or a round that has been fired from or currently loaded into a weapon.
A bomb is an explosive device.
A tank is generally a heavily armoured and armed, tracked vehicle designed to be at the front of a combined forces attack.
An explosive is any weapon or device designed to cause an explosion, whether it be a frag grenade, TNT, or a nuclear bomb.
Tinted glasses - used to shield the user direct sunlight. Sunglasses are also used as a fashion accessory or as part of a disguise.
An explosive ordinance propelled by a rocket engine designed to blow an object to smithereens. A missile is often guided, in some way, to its target. For example; by laser, remote control, or computer/GPS.
The ultimate weapon attachment that uses telescope optics to enlarge distant targets thus increasing your accuracy.
A telephone is a device used to communicate verbally with another person over a long distance. Audio signals travel to and from both phones involved, allowing the users to hold a conversation in real-time.
Machine guns, generally, are heavier weapons with a rapid rate of fire. To quote the Quake manual, they "eat ammo like popcorn."
A hand grenade designed to blind and deafen opponents briefly.

On 17 January 2013, the U.S. Department of Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service released for publication in the Federal Register final regulations for the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA).
Sensing an opportunity with the transposition of the AIFMD into national law in July 2013, Luxembourg has had the foresight to build added-value into the legislation by introducing favourable measures for the establishment of fund raising vehicles.
The report takes into account industry data as stated in the 2013 annual reports of the CSSF and the BCL, as well as the ranking data published by the Luxemburger Wort.
The participation exemption is one of the most important features of the Luxembourg tax system. It provides a 100% exemption on dividends and capital gains which stem from equity investments. The brochure explains the rules in detail.
KPMG is pleased to present its updated sixth edition of the Luxembourg Regulated Investment Vehicles brochure, incorporating the recent changes in the legal and regulatory environment.
The AIFMD will have a significant re-shaping effect on the alternative investment fund industry in Europe and beyond.

Crédit Lyonnais (C-388/11)
Principal establishments not entitled to include turnover of foreign branches into calculation of their local VAT recovery ratioOn 12 September 2013, the Court of Justice of the European Union ("CJEU") released its long-awaited decision in the case C-388/11, Le Crédit Lyonnais ("LCL").
Essence of the decision
The CJEU held that a principal establishment situated in a Member State cannot take into account the turnover of its branches established in other Member States or established in third States to compute its input VAT recovery ratio.
Case facts
The French bank LCL, which has its principal establishment in France and several branches abroad (in other EU Member States and outside of the EU), took the amount of interest on loans granted to its branches established outside of France into account for the calculation of the prorata of recoverable input VAT.
In the course of a tax audit, the French tax administration performed a VAT assessment arguing that LCL wrongly took into account the amount of interest on loans granted to its foreign branches for the calculation of its prorata.
LCL claimed that it was wrongfully forced to overpay input VAT (amounting to almost 31.7 million EUR) and initiated legal steps which eventually brought this matter to the attention of the CJEU.
LCL argued that, while the amount of interest received by the principal establishment for loans granted to its branches could not be taken into account for the calculation of the prorata, as the principal establishment and its branches form one single entity for VAT purposes (FCE Bank case, C-210/04), the turnover generated by the branches deriving from transactions with third parties should be considered as the principal establishment's turnover and taken into consideration for the computation of its VAT recovery ratio (so-called "worldwide turnover").
The French Council of State ("Conseil d'Etat") referred to the CJEU for a preliminary ruling and asked whether and to what extent a company whose principal establishment is established in one Member State and which has several branches abroad performing mixed activities (i.e. generating turnover entitling to deduct input VAT and turnover not entitling to deduct input VAT) must take the total (i.e. worldwide) turnover into account for the calculation of its local input VAT recovery right, based on the Sixth Directive (PDF, 887KB).
Decision of the CJEU
The Court held that a principal establishment situated in a Member State cannot take into account the turnover of its branches, whether established in other EU Member States or in third States, to compute its local input VAT recovery ratio.
The CJEU pointed out that the Sixth Directive does not contain specific rules on the computation of the prorata of deductible input VAT, but leaves it to the Member States to specify the methods of calculation1. However, the CJEU held that the Sixth Directive does not permit the Member States to implement rules for the calculation of the proportion of deductible input VAT per sector of business of a company subject to tax which authorizes that company to consider the turnover realized by foreign branches for the prorata.
Impact of the CJEU's decision on taxable persons
Even though the CJEU had to decide in case of a bank, this decision does not only affect banks, but has an impact on all principal establishments that generate turnover through their foreign branches.
The CJEU's decision is straightforward leaving hardly any room for interpretation. Therefore, it is likely that the Luxembourg VAT authorities ("Administration de l'enregistrement et des domaines") will take this case as an opportunity to increase their focus on the calculation of the prorata of deductible input VAT by taxable persons having their principal establishment in Luxembourg and, possibly, to reassess VAT for principal establishments.
In the light of this decision, principal establishments should carefully review the calculation of their VAT recovery right to ensure that their methods are in line with both the CJEU's decision and with the VAT authorities' Circular n° 765. In case of divergences, principal establishments should initiate alterations where necessary without any undue delay.
For further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
1. In this context, please note that the Luxembourg VAT Authorities have recently published Circular n° 765 generally specifying the means for the calculation of deductible input VAT applicable in Luxembourg. The new Circular is applicable as of fiscal year 2013.

It's still summer, but no one believes that. When the sun makes it out from behind the haze, it doesn't have the weak-tea strength of fall. The bugs are droning. Everything's green, and there's not a hint of the wan hues that will make the world look like it's being drained of its vitality. It's warmer than June. But everything's changed, hasn't it? Labor Day ruins summer. Push it back two weeks into September, and everyone would be happier. For that matter, put Memorial Day in the middle of May as well, and summer would go on and on.
Never happen. Ah well.

Report: Afghan Can't Maintain US-Built Facilities After Pullout
Illiterate Recruits and Vanishing Parts Not a Recipe for Success
A new report from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) has yet more bad news for the prospects of the 11+ year war's success, cautioning that the Afghan government is completely unprepared to even maintain the buildings built for it or feed its own troops.
This isn't just about the enormous Afghan military being way bigger than the Afghan economy could ever support, that has already been "settled" with the assumption NATO is just going to send massive amounts of cash to Afghanistan annually to cover it.
Rather, with massive illiteracy among recruits and the well-documented corruption in Afghanistan meaning hundreds of millions of dollars in gear just vanishing without a trace, keeping the military machine running, even if they are bankrolled from abroad, looks to be far more than the military's "leadership" is prepared for.
Indeed, the report doubts that the military will even manage to transfer food to all of its troops in the field properly, and cautions that the Afghan police are in even worse shape, basically letting NATO handle all of their paperwork and making no effort to get up to speed. Since the US is on the hook to stay through 2024 and the rest of NATO, despite nominally promising a 2014 withdrawal already has a deal in principle to stay, its a job they're likely to retain for a long time to come.

So this is how empire ends. Not with a bang but with a whimper.
So how is it that the Taliban can 'make things work.?
Not to worry. First, the US ain't pulling out any time soon. And second, even when they do, it will just be pretend. They'll still stay there and continue to maintain their own facilities. If you don't believe me, ask the Iranians. Or the Japanese. Or the Germans.
Oh, you can rest assured this empire is NOT going to go with a whimper.

I'm attempting to fill a big hole in my gaming profile by playing all the Metal Gear games. I know how the games flow in terms of MG cannon, but should I play them in that order, or in release order? Suggestions?
Metal Gear - Best Order to Play?
Release order. I've only played the MGS games though, but the original Metal Gear games have never seemed too important to play. I was fine just by knowing some of that fiction going through wikipedia pages.
I'm sitting here with a copy of Peace Walker that I bought yesterday. Can't wait to get started.

Peace Walker was my inspiration for this. I loved the look of the camo PSP and used that as an excuse to finally get one when Gamestop announced the Big Boss bundle. I did play through the first mission, just enough to save my progress and stop before I decide how best to continue. I probably won't have the willpower to not play PW while I work through the rest.
Here's the real question... does one play the MSX version of the original Metal Gear, or the NES version? And does one really need to play them all? I'm speaking specifically about the shitty US sequel (Snake's Revenge was it?) that was summarily dismissed by the creator of the series?

playing them in chronological order goes against the point of releasing them how konami and kojima productions have. nobody watches star wars episode 1, 2, and 3 first. same thing.
the original metal gear games aren't really necessary imo. they aren't that great and you're filled in on most of the needed details throughout mgs1.

Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, 3, 4.
(then Portable Ops and Peace Walker, if you have a PSP)
If you can get a hold of the original MSX versions, which were actually included in the Subsistance version of 3 then they're definitely worth playing through if you're up for some retro action. They're not necessary but they do add a few interesting elements to the stories that are referenced in the later games, quite strongly in Portable Ops especially. But in general you aren't missing much if you decide to just skip them. If you're going to, at least do them before the PSP games.
I'd also highly recommend you skip the Twin Snakes remake of the first MGS on the Gamecube. Some people swear by it, but the action scenes are ridiculous. It feels more like Spider-man than MGS and doesn't fit in with the rest of the games at all. They also rerecorded all of the dialogue, and while it's higher quality most of it isn't as good. A lot of the epic lines from the original are delivered with no punch, and generally the voice actors don't seem to have any passion for what they're doing. Definitely stick with the original version.

Definitely play them in order of release. That way you will be introduced to the characters proper. Going straight for Snake Eater would be stupid cause much of the info you get there will seem weird and unrelated if you have not played previous games released before that even though that is earliest in the timeline. The Metal Gear series story can come off as very complex and might be hard to understand if you do not play them in order of release. I can't stress enough how much better experience you'll have if you play them in order of release. Please, AGAIN, in order of release. :P

In terms of the MGS series, play them in the order of their release. Obviously that's how they developed them, so they expected people to play them in that order. So even if MGS3 goes back in the timeline, there are references to characters and events that happened in the two previous games. I guess it's not incredibly necessary to play them this way, but for me it just makes sense, it's the way Kojima intended it so I dare not argue with him. Plus you definitely want to play all of them before you get to 4 anyway, because that one ties them all together rather elegantly. Plus there are a ton of flashback moments that make a lot more sense if you've played the others. And Kojima has said something along the lines of Peace Walker basically being what he considers as "MGS5." I don't own a PSP so I haven't played it yet but I'm assuming it'll have all the necessary callbacks to past events and stuff, the fiction of the whole series is just so dense and purposefully convoluted so I'd just recommend playing them in that order to get the most out of it.
For the first MGS, you have the option of playing the original PS1 version obviously, but there's also the remake for the Gamecube, Twin Snakes which I thought was better in many ways. I guess it was mainly the cutscenes that had improved, and you know how important those are to the series. I don't remember specifically if they made any changes at all to the story, a great deal of time had passed between me playing the original and playing Twin Snakes but I didn't notice anything different. Annnnd...I could be wrong but I think the NES Metal Gear games that came out over here in America didn't really involve Kojima. There were two other games that were supposedly better but only came out in Japan on some computer platform. I think they made these available later on Subsistence or something, but I dunno, I've never played them. I've played the first Metal Gear for NES and I found it really frustrating and difficult so I didn't get far and don't really know how it ties into the Solid series.

"the subsistence version does in fact have the original MSX versions ported to ps2. playing the old MSX game would give you a little more info on what happened to big boss and fill in a few gaps for MGS4 but i don't think it is really required if you want to skip them.
i say play them in order of release, that is how the majority of people played them and im sure how it was intended to be played.
The first MGS game I played was 4, and I obviously had no idea what the fuck was going on. It's such a good game I played it a second time, and still had no idea what the fuck was going on, but a little bit more grasp of the story.
I then bought MGS1 off of PSN and just finished playing that about 3 days ago.
Yesterday, I just bought a PS2 and MGS2 Substance/ MGS3 subsistence, and am about to start playing them as soon as a I can (forgot to pick up a PS2 memory card, so have to go to GameStop right now).
I don't have a PSP, so, unfortunately as of yet I am unable to play Portable Ops/ Peace Walker.
As someone before mentioned, MGS3 subsistence does have MG1 and MG2:SS in it, and that's the way to go if you want to play them, so you don't have to deal with shitty emulators on your PC.
Play them in release order. I will warn you that the controls in the original are pretty damn terrible/frustrating so if you get too frustrated just skip the game and move on to MGS2. Read a summary of the game if you want to get the references to it in later games.
If you want, you can cram in MG1 somewhere in that order, just so long as it's before MGS4. I don't really think it's essential, but it's a good game and it depicts the Outer Heaven Incident, which becomes a major part of the storyline.
They're all great games, and even the older ones stand the test of time imo.
I excluded MPO because not only is it not essential, but PW retcons the story so much that it's not even worth considering canon anymore. To see what I mean, read this;

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes then Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance. Do not go any further.
No. Not TTS.
OTT cutscenes, bad voice acting, unbalanced gameplay (ironic, considering that one of the biggest marketing ploys was the ability to play MGS1 with MGS2's gameplay), bad music, and an overall butchered experience.
And it's $30, whereas you can get the original for $10 off PSN.

With the Iran-Iraq war over, Western companies are eager to participate in the postwar reconstruction boom, but for U.S. Companies the prospects are
Washington's diplomatic standoff from Iran has ruled out - at least for the time being - U.S. Participation in Iran's postwar reconstruction . There were no U.S. Companies seeking deals at the Tehran International Trade Fair that opened Tuesday.The U.S. Senate, meanwhile, has voted to impose economic sanctions on Iraq in response to the alleged use of chemical weapons against its Kurdish minority.
To have any effect, that measure would have to be approved by the House of Representatives and signed by President Reagan.
If sanctions are imposed, U.S. Companies risk being non-starters in a race to chase a market that could be worth up to $100 billion over the next five years.
The Senate vote, which has drawn some of the most virulent Iraqi criticism of the United States since diplomatic relations were restored in 1984, is in sharp contrast to the failure of West European governments to respond to Iraq's use of chemical weapons.
The European reticence reflects a desire not to jeopardize economic interests in Iraq, many commentators say.
The Senate-passed sanctions against Iraq would require the U.S. Government to vote against international loans to Iraq. But unlike the wartime trade ban imposed on Iran, the Senate bill would allow private companies to continue to do business with Baghdad.
In fact, the Commerce Department is helping to sponsor exhibits by private U.S. Companies at the Baghdad International Trade Fair on Nov. 1.
The San Francisco-based Bechtel Group, said to be bidding on several projects in Iraq, declined comment. A spokesman said the construction firm has not been following the Iraqi sanctions closely enough to predict their possible effect. The cease-fire between Iran and Iraq has rekindled hopes among Western companies of a return to the prewar bonanza eight years ago when soaring oil prices enabled Iran and Iraq to indulge in lavish investment projects.
While the United States is forced on the sidelines, its rivals are beating a path to Tehran and Baghdad to resume business links that were snapped eight years ago when the two countries switched the bulk of their spending to weapons.
Western businessmen are working in the dark and aiming at an unknown and
uncertain market.
Construction companies and capital equipment manufacturers face daunting hurdles before they can cut solid deals with ministries in Iraq and Iran.
The war has bankrupted both countries, especially Iraq, which is saddled with foreign debts of $65 billion to $70 billion. Many Western contractors are still owed hundreds of millions of dollars for work done before the war started.
Crude oil, which generates 95 percent of their hard currency earnings, is now selling for $12 to $13 a barrel, only a third of its peak of $38 to $40 in 1980.
Bankers are wary of providing more loans before Iraq cuts its debt and Iran drops its aggressive anti-Western stance.
Moreover, most observers expect that spending on infrastructure initially will take a back seat, as both countries strive to rebuild their military forces and boost imports of food and consumer goods to reward, and placate, their war-weary populations.
However, Western contractors can count on a substantial slice of new business as Iran and Iraq repair their vital oil facilities, including refineries, oil fields, pipelines, loading terminals and strategic ports that were abandoned soon after the war began.
Iran intends to repair its oil installations at Maximum speed," according to Oil Minister Golamreza. Immediate projects include restoring Kharg Island - its huge crude oil export terminal - repairing seven existing refineries, rebuilding the giant 650,000-barrel-a-day refinery at Abadan and construction of two new plants - one at Arak in central Iran, the other near the Port of Bandar Abbas on the gulf coast.
Iran also wants to rebuild Bandar Khomeini, the northern gulf port that was its major entry point for containers, dry cargo and bulk shipments before the war. Six smaller ports are also planned at a cost of over $200 million.
Iraq, determined to rival Saudi Arabia as the region's leading oil power, wants to reopen the Shatt Al Arab waterway, repair the neighboring Khawr Abdallah export refinery and resume shipping from Basra - its leading oil and dry cargo port - before Iran cut its links to the sea.
Contractors hired for these projects will be in prime position to win later programs to repair housing, industrial plants, irrigation systems and roads.
The race has already begun. South Korean companies that were driving out higher-cost European and U.S. Competitors in the late 1970s are in an even stronger position today.
According to the Korea Institute of Economics and Technology (KIET), South Korean companies can look forward to booking construction orders worth between $15 billion and $17 billion in the first five years after the two countries start restoration work.
That's a sizeable chunk of the $80 billion to $88 billion KIET reckons the two formers combatants will spend during the period.
The South Korean government, anxious to open up new export markets, is likely to support its companies by offering soft loans to Iran and Iraq.
Japanese companies were burned by their earlier involvement in Iran and Iraq. Mitsui has just written off $1.25 billion invested in an Iranian petrochemical project. But this has not curbed its enthusiasm to return to the region.
Japan has managed to retain good relations with both combatants during the eight years of war. Tokyo gave only halfhearted support to Reagan's call for an oil embargo against Iran and Japanese trading houses last year deferred all short-term claims, totaling about $1.2 billion, to Baghdad.
Aside from chasing construction orders, Japanese firms are determined to restore their former role as major suppliers of cement, construction materials, steel products and heavy industrial machinery to Iran and Iraq.
Japanese charterers have begun to charter bulk ships for 1989 to carry additional exports to the gulf. Japanese steel firms have agreed to sell Iran 10,000 tons of steel pipes for pipelines and are now bidding for another contract for 20,000 tons.
European firms are fighting hard to stay in the race in the face of strained relations between their governments and Iran and Iraq and a lengthening backlog of unpaid debts.
West German companies are best placed to do business in the gulf, capitalizing on strong trading links with both Iran and Iraq and an evenhanded approach toward both countries.
West German businessmen have nursed their commercial links with Iran over the past eight years. More than 80 companies kept offices in Tehran during the war, while most other European companies packed their bags.
As a result, Iran boosted imports from West Germany from $2 billion in 1981 to $2.66 billion in 1985 before its worsening economic plight cut purchases to $1.5 billion in 1987.
Iraq is one of West Germany's biggest debtors, but Bonn is guaranteeing imports of up to $4.5 billion. West German companies hope to boost their sales of automobiles, textiles, pharmaceuticals and telecommunications equipment substantially.
The construction sector also is set to benefit with two major projects about to be resumed: a nuclear power plant at Bushir to be built by Siemens- KWU and a steel plant at Ahwaz.
British, Italian and French companies are rapidly rewiring their prewar connections, relying on their governments to normalize relations with Iran and Iraq and provide export credits.
France recently restored diplomatic relations with Tehran and has just lifted an oil embargo, paving the way for companies such as Schlumberger and Spie. Batignolles - market leaders in their fields - to land orders.
Italy's Foreign Trade Minister Renato Ruggiero visited Iran shortly after the cease-fire and is due to meet with an Iraqi delegation shortly. Leading oil services and contracting companies - including Saipem, which has worked in Iran throughout the war, Technipetrol and Snamprogetti - are already bidding for work.

The spark review
by sparkman34221 on Aug 24, 2014
Vehicle: 2013 Chevrolet Spark 1LT 4dr Hatchback (1.2L 4cyl 4A)
I purchased my 2013 Spark in March of 2013. The main issue is the a/c. After 4 trips to the Dealership, and several component replacements, they finally replaced all the a/c components. The a/c is now working better than when I purchased the car. I was informed by the service manager that apparently some of the a/c components were manufactured with defects. So if you are having the a/c issue, and are under the factory warranty,INSIST, I repeat INSIST they replace the entire a/c system and you should be okay. If your dealer won't do it, go to another dealer. On the acceleration issue, there is a recall that just came out where they clean the throttle body and replace the PCV valve.
It cannot get out of

Vehicle: 2013 Chevrolet Spark 2LT 4dr Hatchback (1.2L 4cyl 5M)
The A/C is less effective than having the windows down. Good luck getting up any hills, this vehicle has no torque. After getting up any hills the vehicle smells like rotten eggs to pay you back for pushing it too hard, which the dealership will blame on the gas. It will rev up and accelerate without the gas being depressed. At least the keys stay in the ignition while it does this. Somtimes it will not start, maybe its an issue with the onstar. Did I mention the A/C sucks.

Great car for the money!

Vehicle: 2013 Chevrolet Spark LS 4dr Hatchback (1.2L 4cyl 5M)
Bought one early, August 2012. LS Manual hatchback. Installed window rain guards, colored side moldings (factory), after market mudflaps, and a light duty trailer hitch to tow a small three rail motorcycle trailer to rides and races. Driving gently and hauling the trailer approx 7,000 miles of the 28,000 that the car had when totaled, was averaging 38.9mpg. Car was cheap to buy, cheap to operate, handled well. Hit a deer at approx 35mph. Locked seat belts, drove radiator back into the exhaust manifold, broke a headlight, kinked hood, kinked right fender. Didn't set air bags off. Some concern for safety, but had the deer contacted the bumper, wouldn't have been as bad. Looking at another one.

I have waited so long
by chevyfan1982 on Sep 19, 2013
Vehicle: 2013 Chevrolet Spark LS 4dr Hatchback (1.2L 4cyl 4A)
This is my first brand new car and wanted it from the beginning. I have owned it a week and the gas gauge just got to half a tank with 200 miles on it. I graduated from a pt cruiser and wanted to keep the hatchback look, this car has all the storage one would want and for those that say the a/c is crap need help, I keep the ac on the lowest setting and I freeze in FLORIDA. Everyone I meet wants to see it and is amazed at how much room is in it, but if I hear cute one more time...lol. At first I looked at a fiesta but hated how many buttons were in it. I love the interior and the functional layout (LS trim ) and it has all the tech I need although disappointed in no CD player.

Great car, terrible a/c
by focuser1 on Aug 7, 2013
Vehicle: 2013 Chevrolet Spark 2LT 4dr Hatchback (1.2L 4cyl 4A)
I've got the 2LT, and I really love this little car, for my purposes, it handles well, it is comfortable, and it is full featured. It is not a racing car, but it does what it needs to, it is advertised as a city car, and that's what it is. The mylink radio, fog lights, automatic trans, heated seats, full power, etc.,etc., all wrapped in a 4 dr. sedan, for just a touch over 17K, is a great deal. The deal breaker is the A/C.
Full 2013 Chevrolet Spark Review
What's New for 2013
The 2013 Chevrolet Spark is an all-new model.
These days, more and more automakers are offering small, fuel-sipping cars that are affordable and ideal for urban use. General Motors has entered the game with the all-new 2013 Chevrolet Spark.
Built in South Korea, the new Chevy Spark is one of the least expensive cars on the market. It's also one of the smallest. The Spark is 14 inches shorter than the Chevrolet Sonic, the next smallest car in Chevy's lineup. And while the Spark might look peculiar with its relatively big body and small wheels, it packs enough personality and available features to fend off any perception as an econo-pod. As a fun palette of unconventional exterior colors suggests, the Spark is cheap but cheerful.
Inside its cabin, the Spark displays a simple, clean design with enough chic sculpting and color flourishes that help you overlook the hard plastic surfaces. And while the base model is somewhat spartan, it comes standard with power windows, air-conditioning and a radio. Higher trim levels offer additional electronics and convenience niceties, although they come at price points that are within striking distance of more desirable hatchbacks.
In price and personality, the 2013 Chevrolet Spark is one of the best subcompact choices. The base model costs far less than the Fiat 500 and Scion iQ, and the Spark's four-door body style adds a bit of extra practicality. It lacks the Fiat's style and the Scion's parking ease, however. We'd also suggest looking at more traditional hatchbacks, since the Ford Fiesta and Kia Rio are more substantial and appealing to drive. But the 2013 Chevrolet Spark is tops at the bottom line and refined enough to make you proud of your new ride.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2013 Chevrolet Spark is a small, four-door hatchback offered in LS, 1LT and 2LT trims. Features from the upper trims are not available as options on supporting models.
Standard LS features include 15-inch alloy wheels, air-conditioning, power windows, 60/40-split-folding rear seats, a height-adjustable driver seat, a tilt-only steering wheel, a trip computer, OnStar telematics and a four-speaker radio with an auxiliary audio jack.
Opting for the 1LT trim adds power-adjustable mirrors, cruise control, remote keyless entry, floor mats, the MyLink touchscreen interface, Bluetooth phone and streaming audio, steering-wheel-mounted audio and phone controls, a six-speaker audio system with USB/iPod integration, satellite radio and Internet radio from integrated smartphones.
The 2LT top trim adds foglights, roof rails, sporty front and rear fascia treatments, chrome exterior trim, faux leather upholstery, front heated seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
Powertrains and Performance
Powering the 2013 Chevrolet Spark is a 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 84 horsepower and 83 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels through a standard five-speed manual or optional four-speed automatic transmission.
Chevrolet estimates a Spark with a manual transmission will accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 10.5 seconds. We tested an expectedly slower automatic version, which took 12.2 seconds. Compared to average subcompacts, the Spark trails them to 60 mph by 1-2 seconds. The EPA estimates fuel economy at 32 city/38 highway and 34 mpg combined for the manual and 28/37/32 mpg for the automatic.
Standard safety features on the 2013 Chevy Spark include four-wheel antilock brakes (front discs, rear drums), hill-hold assist, stability and traction control, front and rear side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and front-seat knee airbags. OnStar is also standard and includes automatic crash notification, on-demand roadside assistance, remote door unlocking, stolen vehicle assistance and turn-by-turn navigation.
In Edmunds brake testing, a Spark 2LT stopped from 60 mph in 123 feet, about an average distance for this class of car.
Interior Design and Special Features
The 2013 Chevrolet Spark features a simple, modern interior accented by color-accented dash and door panels. Hard plastic surfaces are about what you'd expect in an affordable hatchback, but the Spark offers some well-textured elements that suggest otherwise. Sporty gauges add further visual interest, featuring both a traditional speedometer and a digital multifunction display.
The available MyLink touchscreen also adds to the Spark's modern vibe with sharp graphics and intuitive menus, although it's not without faults. The screen sometimes fails to register inputs and requires repeated taps, but it's far better than the MyFordTouch interface. The hollow, flat sound quality from either the base or MyLink audio systems leaves much to be desired.
The upright position of the front seats might foster the impression that you're sitting on the car rather than in it. The seats also lack any worthwhile lateral support, although most body types will find them comfortable enough for long stretches of time. The rear seats are better suited to smaller passengers, however, as low seat cushions and headrests will likely draw complaints from average-sized adults.
Behind the rear seats, 11.4 cubic feet of cargo can be crammed into the narrow space. Folding down the rear seats isn't a simple affair, as the seat cushions must be flipped forward and the headrests removed before plopping down the seatbacks. After doing so, however, a fairly flat cargo floor and a more accommodating 31.2 cubes are provided. For larger items, the 2LT trim provides a functional roof rack.
Driving Impressions
With only 84 hp -- less than many motorcycles -- it's clear that the 2013 Chevrolet Spark is not intended to excite or inspire. To its credit, there's adequate acceleration for merging onto freeways when the manual transmission is in place. The shift throws are unusually long in order to reduce effort, yet the well-spaced gates make for precise gearchanges. Given its expected fuel economy-minded programming (meaning early upshifts and reluctant downshifts), the automatic Spark can feel lazy unless you have a heavy foot. In fairness, though, the automatic's gearchanges are very smooth and it steps down fairly quickly provided you floor it.
On appearance alone, the Spark's somewhat tall body gives the impression of a European cargo van left too long in the clothes dryer. Thankfully, it doesn't drive like one, as it's fairly agile around corners given its economy car role. Although the Spark is far from a sport sedan, this small Chevy still manages to deliver well-mannered driving characteristics overall. Road and wind noise are noticeable, but no more intrusive than in other cars at this price point.

After Andy Flower stepped down from the role as England team director we take a look at his highs and lows since taking charge in 2009.

Flower's Highs
Winning the Ashes in Australia
Flower's thorough planning and attention to detail were seen as vital factors as England ended a 24-year wait to win the Ashes on Australian soil in 2010/11. That they did it with three innings victories in a 3-1 success made the celebrations even sweeter.
Top-ranked Test nation
England took over from India as the world's top-ranked Test nation for the first time following a 4-0 series whitewash on home soil in 2011. Under Flower, England also ascended to the top of the rankings in the one-day and Twenty20 international formats.
First global trophy
Flower was at the helm as England finally ended one of their most embarrassing records. England had never won a major global tournament until they beat Australia in the 2010 World Twenty20 final by seven wickets in Barbados.
Ashes hat-trick
A 3-0 home series win over Australia in 2013 may have been more hard-fought than the scoreline suggested, but it secured a hat-trick of Ashes series wins - a feat England had not managed since 1956.
Conquering India
Alastair Cook's first Test series as captain in 2012 was one to remember as England recovered from losing the first Test to win the series 2-1. England had not won in India since 1984/85 when they also bounced back to win 2-1.
Flower's Lows
Gifting the Ashes back in 2013
The lowest point of Flower's tenure without question, as a hapless and surprising dispirited England were thumped in Australia, handing back the Ashes before Christmas. Question marks over Flower's future were raised for the first time as his team were dismantled.
A summer to forget
The summer of 2012 was one Flower will not remember fondly as England lost the number one Test ranking to South Africa following a 2-0 home series defeat. The loss came amid Kevin Pietersen's off-field dramas as he quit the limited-overs formats and complained of unrest in the dressing room before being dropped following a texting controversy. The summer ended with captain Andrew Strauss retiring.
Rumbled in Jamaica
After being handed interim charge of the England team following Peter Moores' messy exit, Flower watched his new side crumble to be all out for 51 against West Indies at Sabina Park in February 2009. Defeat in the match led to a 1-0 series defeat.
World Cup exit
After a busy schedule - including their Ashes triumph in Australia - England suffered a meek quarter-final exit to co-hosts Sri Lanka at the 2011 World Cup. A tournament of mixed fortunes had seen England tie with India, after the eventual winners made 338, only to also lose to Ireland after Kevin O'Brien hit the fastest World Cup ton.
Whitewash in the desert
England were beaten 3-0 by Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates in January 2012 as the tourists succumbed to the mystery spin of Saeed Ajmal. Ajmal and fellow spinner Abdur Rehman combined for 43 wickets in the series.
Exit as coach
Flower stepped down as coach on January 31, 2014, bringing to an end his five-year spell in charge.
