"DeShon" is an Anglicized version of the French "des champs" (which is pronounced remarkably similar). The literal translation is "from the fields". It is a old colloquialism referring to somebody who works in the fields, i.e., a farmer.
As the early farmers left France for England and America, the spelling took on a variety of local flavors, depending on the location. In America, it's not unusual to see it spelled "Dishon", "Deshawn", "Deshong", and "Deshone".
My earliest American ancestors changed the spelling to the phonetic "Dishon". Within couple of generations, it had changed to "DeShon", but different branches of the family adopted slight variations on that.
It's not unusual for census takers to guess the spelling of the interviewee. I have found census records of my grandfather that spelled it "Dishon", even though there is no evidence he ever used that spelling himself. In old cursive writing, it is difficult to distinguish a lower-case "e" from an "i", so the spelling could be misread even with the best of intentions.
Even if you don't spell it exactly like I do, there's a good chance that if the pronunciation of your last name is similar, we have a common French ancestry.
In recent years, "Deshon" or "Deshawn" has become a common first name, especially in the African-American community. When used as a first name, it has a different etymology. It is probably a variant of "Sean", the Irish version of "John". It's not uncommon to add a prefix of "de", "da", or "la" to create a contemporary, urban-sounding name.

I ordered a VPS from 123systems and after 2 months I still have never received a working VPS or a working IP address even though it was advertised as immediate setup. This company's outsourced tech support in India had a million and one excuses for the failure to deliver what I ordered ranging from node migrations to network problems to waiting for new servers to be delivered, and the owner Chris Fabozzi ignored the PMs and emails I sent him.
The guy who owns this company Chris Fabozzi of Clarence Center, NY has a great scam going. He posts offers for 70% discounts on ChicagoVPS and 123Systems Solutions yearly plans on hosting forum LowEndBox, a forum which is owned by his childhood friend Jon Biloh's company ColoCrossing -Velocity Servers Inc, and then after the customer pays upfront for an entire year Chris Fabozzi fails to deliver what was ordered, or he delivers a nonworking server, and he refuses to issue a refund. When the customer files a PayPal dispute because they didn't receive what they paid for, Chris Fabozzi points to the "no refund policy" in his terms of service and says the customer agreed to no refunds so he automatically wins the PayPal dispute. The customer never receives what they paid for and Fabozzi pockets the money he's getting from his fraudulent scam. Fabozzi even laughs about it and makes jokes when customers start threads on hosting forums complaining about being ripped off or about their servers being down and not working.
This guy doesn't stop at just PayPal fraud though. He also buys out of state hosting companies and doesn't change the domain ownership records on them so he can evade paying income taxes and sales taxes on his earnings from these acquisitions. 123Systems Solutions, AzzaVPS, and UGVPS are just a few of the many acquisitions that he has used to cheat the tax man. Fabozzi admitted in a forum post that he used the identity of UGVPS's former owner's wife for months without her knowledge in all customer communications and on the domain ownership.
Well Chris Fabozzi, you picked the wrong folks to try to scam. You've been reported to IC3.gov, the IRS, and New York state for your scams and tax fraud.

Happy customer
SUBMITTED: Saturday, October 18, 2014POSTED: Saturday, October 18, 2014
I have 11 VPS servers with them all operational and each time I need support I get it. Uptime has been very good so far but when I need support it is a little slow sometimes, but often I get replies almost immediately. Compared to other low end VPS providers I would say support is above average.
Performance is also good for the price I paid. I have almost 50 servers on different providers and this is one of my favorites.
I'm writing this review because I think the complaint seems to be a personal mattern turned into a business complaint more than anything else. I think they are not being truthful about the Owner of Chicago VPS
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

The forgetfulness that comes with age may be reversible, researchers reported on Wednesday. They found the brain cells involved in normal, age-related memory loss don't die. They're just turned down.
The researchers found a single gene associated with the normal but infuriating loss of memory that torments most people as they age – and found it might be possible to restore its function. If a drug is found to do that, it would for all intents and purposes be a memory pill.
While many people are working on a cure for Alzheimer's disease, this study, led by Dr. Eric Kandel of Columbia University in New York, points to a way to help healthy people keep their minds sharp.
"Our study provides compelling evidence that age-related memory loss is a syndrome in its own right, apart from Alzheimer's," Kandel said in a statement.
"In addition to the implications for the study, diagnosis, and treatment of memory disorders, these results have public health consequences."
Kandel, who shared a Nobel Prize in 2000 for his work on memory, says his team is already looking for drugs that might turn this gene back on.
They started by looking at the brains of eight people aged 33 to 88, who died with no evidence of brain disease. They took samples from the dentate gyrus, a part of the brain that's affected by aging.
Just about every cell in the body carries two copies of each gene, but different genes are turned up or down in different types of cells. This is called gene expression. Kandel's team looked to see which genes were expressed more or less, depending on age.
A gene called RbAp48 was clearly more active in the brains of the younger people than the older people, the team reports in the journal Science Translational Medicine. It didn't seem to change in a different part of the brain.
The team double-checked in a second batch of 10 human brains from people aged 41 to 89. Again, the older they were, the less RbAp48 they found in the dentate gyrus.
Checks in mice showed the same pattern. And while mice don't get Alzheimer's the way people do, they do lose memory as they get older.
They made genetically engineered mice, in which they could control how active RbAp48 was. When RbAp48 was cranked up to normal levels, the mice were able to remember how to navigate a maze like normal, young mice.
The mice also passed another memory test better when RbAp48 was turned on normally. At levels seen in aged mice, they sometimes forgot objects they had seen the day before. Mice are curious and sniff new objects – mice with cranked-down RbAp48 ran over to objects they had seen before as if they were new.
Tests with normal mice showed that old mice acted just like mice whose RbAp48 was turned down.
The final test was to see if forgetful mice could be "cured" by turning RbAp48 back on. Using gene therapy, the team restored the gene in old mice. "It no longer has memory loss," Kandel said.
"We were astonished that not only did this improve the mice's performance on the memory tests, but their performance was comparable to that of young mice," said Elias Pavlopoulos, who worked on the study.
Gene therapy doesn't work well in people, yet, and it's not practical on a large scale. But Kandel thinks it's possible to use drugs to turn it back on in older people. "We certainly will try," he said in a telephone interview.
"(This gene) is a likely target. There may very well be other players."
The other question is why the gene gets turned down as people, and mice, get older. "We don't know," says Kandel. "Is it a dietary factor? Is it an environmental factor? There are lots of processes in your body that age."
But the brain cells themselves aren't dead – unlike in Alzheimer's. And Kandel says much work has been done on the pathway that controls this gene. There might be drugs that can interrupt the process that turns the gene down, he said.
"Now we have a good target, and with the mouse we've developed, we have a way to screen therapies that might be effective, be they pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, or physical and cognitive exercises," said Dr. Scott Small, director of Columbia's Alzheimer's research center, who worked on the study.

Two great hotels in Manhattan reopened this summer, and both splashed out millions to remake themselves. Say hello—again—to Mark and Pierre. Well, The Mark and The Pierre.
The first time I checked into The Mark years ago, I thought it was the coolest hotel in the world. Before the phrase "boutique hotels" was on everyone's lips, The Mark was a discreet hideaway on Madison and 77th with a tiny bar barely big enough to hold 15 people tucked off its lobby. A sophisticated restaurant was opposite the 77th Street entrance, and soon that will re-open with celeb chef Jean-George Vongerichten running things.

It's a welcome bonus when a hotel reflects the city it's in, and during a long weekend in Portland—crunchy, funky Portland, Oregon—I was the guest at two hotels that fit the bill. The Hotel deLuxe and the Hotel Lucia are managed by the same company, and they're both great old Portland buildings that have found a new life as boutique hotels.

I promised last week a Los Angeles restaurant that thrilled me as well as one that I'm not too sure of yet. Let's start with the good news.
Right across the street in Beverly Hills from Wolfgang Puck's Spago is the new, very luxe hotel Montage. I can't speak for the hotel experience, but my guess is that like most other high-end hotels in the country, Montage may be having a tough time keeping rooms full and room rates high. But it hasn't let culinary standards suffer.

Don't you love it when you fly coach and the person in the seat in front of you reclines to the maximum degree for the entire flight? It's just one of those little irritating things about travel, and it's not just flying where fellow travelers can give you a case of heartburn. There's the driver who stays in the passing lane unnecessarily when others want to pass him. The train passenger who sprawls over two seats in order to block you from sitting down. Or the annoying cruise ship passenger who's decided you're his new best friend and won't leave you alone. . . .

Are travel agents obsolete? When airlines stopped paying agencies fees to issue tickets in 2002, and with the rise of travel planning on the Internet, you might think so.
Yet although there's been a decline in the number of storefront travel agencies throughout the past 17 years, the actual number of travel agents hasn't changed much, according to the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA). Given the extraordinary number of hotel, airline, and car rental reservations made online today, how can that be?

I think I found the ultimate family resort this week—a summer camp on steroids, a Neverland without the weirdness. It's not a secret place—Smugglers' Notch Vermont, approximately a 35-minute drive from Burlington, has been around since 1956. But throughout the years, it has morphed into a sprawling resort with upscale condos, waterparks, tennis courts and—in the winter—ski slopes. Plus, there are enough kids' activities to fill a year of Saturdays.

April has been a test-heavy month for students around the nation, and as Louisiana students wrap up LEAP and ACT testing, DNAinfo Chicago reported that one group of students in Chicago is protesting taking their standardized exams.
About 100 students turned out on Wednesday to protest taking the second day of the state-mandated Prairie State Achievement Exam at the Board of Education headquarters. According to an MSNBC report, some students said that teachers had threatened to void their ACT scores if they didn't show up for this standardized exam, with CEO of Chicago Public Schools Barbara Byrd-Bennett saying that "The only place that students should be during the school day is in the classroom."
"We're under-resourced, over-tested, and we're fed up with the policies that are put in place by CPS officials," high school junior Brian Stirgus said in the report.
The students were also gathered to protest the closing of 54 schools in the city.
What do you think about the students' decision to walk out of standardized testing? Vote below in our poll and share your thoughts in the comments.

The release of a DVD anthology of the first 19 Three Stooges episodes is the occasion of some much-deserved critical commentary. The funniest part of the article is the juxtaposition of the expert's title with the topic that he is expounding:
"I call it their 'triadic dynamic,' " says Jon Solomon, the Robert D. Novak professor of Western civilization and culture at the University of Illinois."
But the commentary, with its background information, is quite revealing, such as this on the typical plot structure of a Stooge episode:
The basic premise of many a Stooges comedy wasn't complicated: The three down-on-their-luck schmoes take on some job for which they are completely unqualified, making a complete mess of it. For example, after happening upon some wealthy homeowner with leaky pipes, Moe will declare, "Sure, we can do your plummin', Toots. We'll have you fixed up in a jiffy!" Typically, this is followed by more broken pipes, pipes clobbering heads and, of course, a flood.
See, even the Three Stooges are all about the doctrine of vocation!

StressFest 2014
April 1, 2014
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
StressFest 2014 was held in the Student Center around lunchtime last week at Catawba College. Students could enjoy stress relieving activities such as drinking calming tea and inhaling "flavored air" at an oxygen bar. They could also score freebies like cookies, homemade soap, and stress balls shaped like tea cups.
The most popular table at the event was one where you could decorate your own tea cup with colored paint pens. There were so many people gathered around that some had to stand while painting. Some chose to paint their own monograms, a trend seen around campus, while others recreated famous paintings, like one individual who painted a simplistic version of Van Gogh's Starry Night. Many who missed the event and saw their friends' painted cups said they hoped to get the chance to do it next year.
Some of the activities, like the oxygen bar, are offered at other events throughout the year, so it is hoped that the same can be said for some of the other particularly enjoyed events.

ARCATA -- A one-run ballgame can be thrilling, nail-biting, filled with spectacular plays. This game was not.
Although the Humboldt Crabs defeated the Humboldt Steelheads 1-0 in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader, the excitement level was considerably less than in their 10-inning game on June 11.
The first inning -- not the last -- of game one was the most entertaining of the night.
Each team loaded the bases using the identical recipe: one hit, one walk, one opponent's infield error. Despite the opportunity to take an early lead or have a big inning, neither team scored.
The Crabs only run came when Jeff Giacomini singled to right with two outs in the fifth, bringing in Bobby Ethel who had bunted for a hit and then stolen second.
Spectacular defensive plays? None. The Crabs and Steelheads combined to commit six infield errors.
On a positive note, both teams got solid pitching.
"Hats off to both pitchers," said Crabs manager Matt Nutter. "Hunter worked his way out of a few jams we put him in with our errors, and it was great pitching by their guy."
Hunter Carnevale earned the win, pitching six strong innings with six strikeouts and two walks.
With bases loaded and one out in the first, what was Carnevale thinking?
"I was thinking strikeout," said the right-hander, who whiffed two consecutive Steelheads to escape damage. "I got them both on curve-balls. It was my best pitch tonight."
Isaac Johnson threw a scoreless seventh with two strikeouts to pick up the save.
"Their guy" -- the Steelheads Jesse Hawkins -- was making his first start since opening day due to a leg injury.
"He was supposed to throw last night against the Merchants," said Steelheads' manager David Sharp. "But it was probably a blessing in disguise that he didn't because he really gets up for the Crabs games."
The Steelheads' offense consisted of two hits by Kevin Ayers, doubles by Jimmy Smith and Kirk Thurston, and Lee Hawkins' single.
For the Crabs, besides scoring the only run, Ethel had two hits, including a double off the left-center-field fence above the green wall. Tony Martin and Max Fenske joined Giacomini in stroking singles.
The Crabs also took the second game 4-1, as Greg Fisher threw five innings to pick up his third win. Kirby Morsching threw two innings for the save.
"Fish pitched well," said Nutter. "He's tough, he battles, and the biggest improvement over last year is his tempo."
Jeff Giacomini homered, Bobby Ethel drove in a run, and John Parham whacked two hits and stole home to lead the Crabs.
Tim Burwell knocked in Cody Killingsworth, who had two hits, for the Steelheads only run.

They got rid of my girl, Tiffany. I absolutely loved her and her great attitude.
I still like Kelly.
Angelo seems like a good chef, but he just turns me off.
Loved Anthony Bouurdain's comments, especially those directed at Ripert who can be kind of pompous.
What was with Padma's outfits - can't she find clothes that fit and flatter her?

At this moment Congress is engaged in a rare weekend session primarily to address the financial crisis our nation is facing. At this moment House and Senate negotiators are working around the clock to try to resolve their differences and come to a final agreement that can restore confidence in our financial sector.
Many of you have contacted our office to express your concerns about any final agreement. I appreciate your calls and I share your concern. It is important that you know the issues I am committed to and that I hear your comments.
I want to start by saying that this mess Wall Street firms have gotten themselves into is much larger than just a few bad mortgages. The mortgage crisis is a symptom of the larger disease that is the vast deregulation of our financial sector. Simply put, no one was watching the store as greed took over and these firms were allowed to run amuck without any oversight. Regardless of what is done to help bail out these Wall Street firms, I feel very strongly that we will only witness a repeat of these events if we do not address the cause of the problem itself.
It is clear that the current crisis is one of the biggest economic predicaments our nation has faced in many decades. Furthermore, I agree that immediate action needs to be taken to insure that our credit market will not be frozen. Without credit availability, individuals may be unable to obtain a mortgage, car loan, home equity loan or a student loan even with a good credit rating.
However, while immediate action must be taken, we can not allow ourselves to make desperate decisions that will not address the critical issues at hand and will only deepen this crisis in the long run. As negotiations move forward and I await review of a final package I want to lay out to you some of the principles I am standing behind.
No Blank Check for the Bush Administration and Wall Street
President Bush and Treasury Secretary Paulsen originally offered Congress a three page proposal that would have all but given Wall Street a $700 billion blank check. Under the original Treasury plan Secretary Paulson would have full and complete jurisdiction over the purchasing of bad assets without any oversight. I want you to know that this proposal was dead on arrival to Congress and that I am in strong support of a new proposal that will include a new oversight board, which would have the ability to issue "cease and desist" orders over this program. This would guarantee that this massive government program would be monitored to represent the taxpayers' interests. Furthermore, Secretary Paulson will not receive an upfront check from Congress for the full $700 billion. Instead, I support a new provision that would make $250 billion immediately available and an additional $100 billion released upon the Secretary's certification that the funds are needed. Congress could then stop the final $350 billion if it passed a joint resolution of disapproval.
Working for Main Street Interests
As we consider all proposals moving forward, my central focus has always been on helping the average citizen who has been affected by Wall Street greed. Congress has already helped address those hurt by the foreclosure crisis, but more clearly needs to done. First and foremost, the American people need to know that the funds they are sending to Wall Street in a time of crisis will be repaid once these firms get back on their feet. This is why I strongly support the idea of including equity sharing through the use of warrants so the federal government could share on the upside when these firms, who will be bailed out, are restored to financial health. I also believe we should consider changing our bankruptcy laws to help those in foreclosure by allowing judges to reduce the principal of a mortgage to a home's current market value. I feel we can apply this provision to sub prime mortgages and while I believe in protecting the sanctity of a contract, I feel no desire to protect those who engaged in predatory lending practices. Finally, I will insist that any final agreement include limits on executive compensation. It would be a travesty for these failed Wall Street firms to ask the American people for help in a time of crisis only to turn around and give millions of dollars in bonuses to their CEOs.
Its Starts with a Bailout, It Ends with Regulating our Marketplace Properly
It would be a grave error to believe that this bailout package, no matter how good or comprehensive, will be the ultimate answer to our financial crisis. This package is merely the most immediate step that has to be taken, but we can not rest until we fix the mess that vast deregulation of our marketplace has done. The next Administration and Congress need to commit to a complete re-writing of our regulatory system. To start, existing regulations must be strengthened and broadened. We must address the fact of financial entities that are not subject to any regulation and simply must be brought into the system. Of course I am not a proponent of over-regulation, but the events of the last few weeks only prove that we are in desperate need of adequate regulation to protect our financial infrastructure from destroying itself. Rest assured, that while these issues require careful scrutiny and may not be included in this final package, I will remain a vocal advocate for real reform on Wall Street.

Talk about table-flipping.
Outspoken Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice was the subject of intense rumors over the weekend following reports that she and her husband Joe were over $11 million in debt.
The 38-year-old mother of four -- whose palatial new home and cash-only shopping sprees are documented on her hit Bravo show -- addressed the talk in a statement to UsMagazine.com.
"While this is a personal matter, I realize that certain aspects of my private life will always be subject to scrutiny and distortion," Giudice says.
"What is true is that due to the economy, most of my husband's real estate ventures failed despite his hard work and effort. As a result, we looked to the Bankruptcy Court for a 'fresh start.'"
She continues: "When people fall, the way to success is to get up and learn from our mistakes. We are in that process."

Larry Gatlin to Sit In for Vacationing Don Imus
Larry Gatlin has signed on to guest host the FOX Business Network's 'Imus in the Morning,' filling in for host (and big-time country music fan) Don Imus.
"The I-man is the gold standard, which, according to Gordon Liddy, is worth more than ever and has never had a worth of zero," says Larry. "No one can ever replace my buddy, Don Imus. I am honored to hold his place until he returns from a well-deserved vacation!"
The country singer will handle hosting duties from June 14-18, with the show broadcasting live from the FOX Business Network studios in New York City. In addition to discussing the day's news with various political analysts, Larry plans to invite some of his closest musical friends for in-studio performances.

Moving Average: Holy Grail or Fairy Tale - Part 3
Advisor Perspectives welcomes guest contributions. The views presented here do not necessarily represent those of Advisor Perspectives.
This article is the latest in a series by Theodore Wong. The others were What the "Missing Out" Argument Misses, Moving Average: Holy Grail or Fairy Tale - Part 1, and Moving Average: Holy Grail or Fairy Tale - Part 2.
"If there was ever a good time to consider a new investment approach," an advertisement for a mutual fund company proclaimed in a recent issue of a financial planning magazine, "it's when the old ones have proven so fallible." For a second, I thought that they had finally given up on the tired buy-and-hold (B/H) approach. It turned out they were just promoting a new kind of index fund.
Buy-and-hold remains deeply entrenched in the financial planning community, despite many of the flaws my previous articles have illustrated. Although many financial advisors suffer dearly from their B/H practices, they are reluctant to change their approach. Who dares to challenge investment sages like Bogle, Siegel, and Malkiel who emphatically support this long-standing investment principle? Academic research studies overwhelmingly endorse B/H. How can they all be wrong?
Perhaps the investment scholars and researchers are right to advocate B/H, but for the wrong reason, as I will explain later. But first, let me digress to respond to some of the feedback my previous articles received.
Let's be clear
I am gratified to learn that many readers are able to replicate my results. My research is only credible if it passes peer reviews. A couple of readers, however, had difficulty reproducing my exact numbers. I use Professor Robert Shiller's S&P500 Index primarily because his data is accessible to the public, so that my calculations can be checked. But Professor Shiller creates his monthly index by averaging daily closing prices. If you use actual daily or monthly closing prices, you will get different results.
Several analysts also inquired about the actual implementation of the Moving Average Crossover (MAC) system. For the record, it is not my intention to promote the MAC system as a trading tool. There are many trading systems used by active managers with proven track records. I use MAC as a demonstration to challenge the popular notion that no one can beat the markets in the long run. In science, it only takes one counterexample to invalidate a principle, no matter how well-established it might be.
Establishing a way to implement active investment management systems into a business practice exceeds the scope of my articles. For those planners new to the field of rule-based trading systems, my advice is to work with a reputable active investment firm or to use experienced consultants. It's not a do-it-yourself project.

5 predictions for bizav in 2016
2015 was an eventful year here at PrivateFly and for the business aviation industry. Market conditions were challenging overall, particularly in Europe (with unrest in Russia, Turkey and Eastern Europe continuing to dent demand) which is still showing a slight decline overall (0.8%) year on year.
But here at PrivateFly we managed to achieve significant year-on-year growth – both in Europe and in the US, where our customer base grew rapidly (it now accounts for 25% of our flights).
Private jet customers are increasingly looking to move online and to move to charter, now that new business models are making this so much easier than ever before. And at PrivateFly, we continued to lead this innovation in 2015, and look forward to doing so again this year.
These are some of the industry trends and developments I am looking out for in 2016.
1. Recovery will continue in the US, with Europe split
The USA is of course the biggest and most established global market and, after a modest 1.3% growth in 2015, I predict we'll see a continued upswing in 2016. More business moving back, means more private jet demand. And we'll see more US private jet customers flying internationally, including to Cuba.
Much of Europe saw encouraging recovery signs in 2015 (with 2.8% growth in the Western segment). So I expect to see continued resilience in 2016 in the major markets of France and the UK, and smaller growth markets such as Spain and Scandinavia. Germany is also starting to see some recovery at last, following a difficult couple of years.
I expect to see this increased confidence also leading to some customers upgrading to a larger category aircraft, so we'll see the average spend per hour increasing.
But with the major market of Russia still likely to be in decline, overall we'll still likely see just a modest growth picture for Europe overall.
2. The industry will move further towards 24-hour access
While we operate around-the-clock at PrivateFly, aircraft are not able to land or take off at all airports throughout the night. Some are open 24 hours for private jets, but others are not, largely due to noise concerns over residential areas.
But with industry recovery set to continue in 2016, there will more pressure on runway slots. And with private aviation so much about ease and flexibility, more and more customers are looking to fly at night or very early in the morning.
So I think we'll see a number of airports reviewing their opening hours this year. Careful planning on routings and giving priority to quieter, new aircraft means it is possible to negotiate – as we have seen at London Biggin Hill.
It would be great if Geneva was one of them. The second busiest airport for private jets in Europe, Geneva has the most pressure on its availability. Always popular, it can easily reach sell-out status at peak times, such as during the ski season or around major events.
And unlike no.1 airport Paris Le Bourget, it is also an airline airport, so private jets have to compete for runway space with the airport's airline customers. There is no other airport in Europe where airline and business aviation flights compete so fiercely for space.
Currently the standard operating hours are 0500 to 2100 (commercial) and 0500 to 2300 (non-commercial). If these could be extended, this would help to alleviate some of that pressure. See more: Are Geneva's slot limitations leading to a private jet decline?
3. Sports events will put bizav under the spotlight – and under pressure
Major sports events always see a demand increase for private aviation. And we have a big year coming up in 2016, with the Super Bowl 50, the Olympic Games in Brazil and the UEFA European Championships in football.
Events like these are always a great opportunity for business aviation to showcase our flexibility. But can equally put the infrastructure under a lot of pressure, with huge numbers of aircraft looking to move in and out of a specific area over a short period of time.
While our industry excels at being reactive and providing short notice flights, our authorities are not always effective at forward-planning and organisation. Business aviation is often left out of the plans for major events and can be left working things out at a late stage.
For the Euros, it's still unclear 6 months out, what special conditions will be made at airports close to the venues. Whereas other industries affected by the Championships will certainly have already been communicating their plans for some time now.
But let's hope business aviation shine under the spotlight. Each time major events like this are held, airports and infrastructure learn a great deal, which can then be adopted into future best practice.
4. More new business models will open up the market
In the past 2 or 3 years we've seen an influx of new business models in the private jet sector. Some are succeeding and others have disappeared, and this trend is set to continue in 2016.
There is a huge amount of change going on in our industry. New technology has made it so much easier for the customer to compare prices and book, and a new era of transparency and accessibility is now firmly here.
This year we'll see growth in models aimed at the entry-level private jet customer in particular, such as air taxi-type operators offering shared private flights on fixed routes. This is opening up the customer base for the whole charter industry, so it's great to see this innovation taking place.
5. More regulation as the market matures
Another mark of the private jet industry maturing has been a more defined regulatory framework for service providers, and I think we'll see even more of this in 2016.
Following the first wave this summer, we'll see a rush of other European FBOs granted an IS-BAH, the new quality standard for private jet FBOs, which is gaining a lot of participation in the US.
And more private jet brokers will seek ARGUS certification, a benchmark of industry best practice. This is something we hold at PrivateFly, giving both customers and aircraft operators confidence in our high operational standards.
I predict we'll see a marked increase in the participation in these programs in 2016, and the launch of others.
Wherever and whenever you're flying in 2016, our Flight Team are ready and waiting to help. Contact us or call +44 1747 642 777 (24 hours).

Turtles, lizards, and snakes...oh my
Thu, 11 Oct 2012 21:00:00 GMT —
The Missouri Department of Conservation is helping children get a better understanding of some cold blooded animals.
The organization held a "Reptiles Rock" session at the northeast regional office in Kirksville Wednesday.
Kids got to learn about turtles, snakes, and lizards and how they adapt to their habitats and the way of living out in the wild.
This is all part of the homeschool program the Missouri Department of Conservation does to help those students the opportunity to get a science level outside of the home.
"The biggest thing is we want to help provide them that connection with nature and keep them connected with it. With the parents in the class with them that provides a mentoring opportunity for parents to see what we are doing, and they can take it home and continue learning and being interested in science," said Amanda Moore of the Missouri Departement of Conservation.
The program has two sessions every month with a different subject every time.

The Mint is pleased to issue a stunning $5 collector coin produced with 99.99% fine silver with selective gold-plating to celebrate the arrival of His Royal Highness the Prince of Cambridge. The reverse image features a gold-plated monogrammed "W" and "C" with crowns, representing the cyphers of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, flanked by maple leaves. The coin's outer edge depicts an ornate ring with all the accoutrements of life with a newborn: baby rattles, plush toys, bibs, soothers, sippy cups and tiny shoes and socks intermixed with moons and stars. The year "2013" appears below the initials and the word "CANADA" above to highlight the close relationship Canada shares with the Royal Family. This coin has a mintage of 15,000 and is available for $74.95 CAD.
The Royal Canadian Mint has produced one of these coins in full gold-plating, to be forwarded to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as a special keepsake.
This new 25-cent cupro-nickel coin features a baby carriage with the year "2013" engraved above. The carriage, adorned by maple leaves, is positioned within the smallest of three rings nestled within each other to divide the coin into three sections. The middle circle includes tiny beads along its outer edge and is divided vertically, featuring the names "William" on the left and "Catherine" on the right. Monogrammed first letter initials of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with crowns (representing the Royal Couple's cyphers) flank either side of the outermost ring with "CANADA" above and "25 CENTS" below. Available while quantities last, this coin retails for $24.95 CAD.
This cheerful set of three $20 coins delivers a trilogy of heartwarming scenes to express the joy and wonder of the first months with a precious newborn and is expertly crafted in fine silver. The coin designs are as follows: a baby tucked away in a cradle with all the love and lace typical of a Royal nursery; three hands (Mummy's, Daddy's and baby's) touching to form a family bond within the shape of a heart; and a sleeping baby in a crib with two plush toys, a beaver and RCMP moose, to represent Canada's close ties with the Royal Family. Each of the three coin designs features maple leaves and "2013" to mark the year of this historic occasion. Available for purchase at $249.95 CAD, this set has a mintage of 7,500.
