Bank of France Governor Christian Noyer has been met with skepticism over her insistence on Wednesday that French banks are generally in good health and that the French central bank — as well as Belgium's — would back troubled lender Dexia in order to ensure it has enough liquidity.
"It really did make me wonder whether or not mental competence is required to be on the board of the ECB (European Central Bank)," Jon Moulton, chairman of Better Capital and a well-known British investor, told CNBC Wednesday.
"It's incredibly optimistic. There are clearly some very obvious problems, and it's no use diminishing them. It's not going to make the problems go away."
Noyer's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Noyer, who has been on the ECB's board since taking the job as governor of the Bank of France in 2003, told Europe 1 Radio: "We will ensure that there is enough liquidity... we will loan Dexia as much as it needs."
Noyer said that suggestions that supporting Dexia , which passed European Union bank stress tests just three months ago, would affect France's triple-A credit rating were "exaggerated and inexact".
It now looks likely that the Franco-Belgian lender will have to be broken up, with reports suggestingits Belgian arm will be nationalized.
The share price has plummeted this week after credit ratings agency Moody's said it was considering downgrading the bank over its exposure to Greek debt.
There are also increasing concerns that more European banks may have to be recapitalized as debt problems in some of the peripheral euro zone economiesrefuse to go away.
"The peripheral European problems and the debt issues are thrown back into the banking system, so it's a multi-directional problem," Jeremy Stretch, head of currency strategy at CIBC, said Wednesday.
The International Monetary Fund's European Department Director Antonio Borges said on Wednesday that Europe needs between 100 billion and 200 billion euro to recapitalize its banks.
"We need some kind of firebreak to be created and outlined," Stretch said. "The way to create that is to put a wall around those that are structurally impaired, and throw that (capital) back into the banking system to make sure that it has enough capital to withstand the coming losses."
"We know the losses are coming and it's a matter of 'when,' rather than 'if,'" he warned.

It is customary for Polish politicians to launch their election campaigns in a 'truly American style'. Surely, this would not be well received in France where a Socialist candidate for the presidential election François Hollande, related his opening speech to François Mitterand; the legendary president serving from 1981 to 1995 and the mentor for a present-day, socialist generation.
There were many similarities – similar gestures, voice and rhetoric. Similar was also the way Hollande identified the main opponent of the contemporary socialists, and it was neither Nicolas Sarkozy, nor Marine Le Pen. According to Hollande his biggest opponent: "does not have a face nor name, does not take part in the elections and does not belong to any political party, however, it still rules – it is the world's finance".
Hollande has planned his election strategy in a very intelligent way. Nicolas Sarkozy portrays himself as the only candidate who can face the financial crisis, and this mainly means reforms and budget cuts that will limit the deficit and maintain the French financial ratings on a stable level. Therefore, Hollande is going to label Sarkozy as somebody who represents the interests of the "world financial circles". In this way he is making an effort to meet the strong, anti-capitalist sentiments of the French society.
Hollande won the socialist pre-election after the career of the most popular socialist, Dominick Strauss-Kahn, had found its finale in a New York hotel. His campaign looked much better prepared than the campaign of the socialist Ségolène Royal in 2007. The question is whether François Hollande can become François II?

|Wang Yi Talks about Four-Point Consensus of China-Germany Diplomatic and Security Strategic Dialogue
On February 13 local time, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi co-chaired the China-Germany Diplomatic and Security Strategic Dialogue with his German counterpart Heiko Maas before jointly meeting the press. Wang Yi pointed out four important consensus reached in the dialogue.
Wang Yi said that Foreign Minister Maas and him co-chaired the China-Germany Diplomatic and Security Strategic Dialogue and reached a series of important consensus.
First, common interests between China and Germany far outweigh differences. As long as both sides respect each other, fully accommodate each other's core interests and concerns, and continuously cement and build up mutual political trust, our two countries are fully able to achieve long-term stability and sound development in the bilateral relations, and our comprehensive strategic partnership will be elevated to a new level.
Second, complementary advantages and mutual benefits are the fundamentals of Sino-German relations. Our two countries should stay committed to open and win-win cooperation. By turning competition into mutual benefits, we can make "1+1>2" the constant model of Sino-German cooperation. China will continue to open our doors wider, and we expect fair and equitable treatment for Chinese companies from the German side. China appreciates Germany's adherence to its independent position on 5G. The two sides will also conduct more third-party cooperation under the Belt and Road framework.
Third, China and Germany should lead the way in China-Europe relations. This year will mark a number of major political events between China and Europe. China is ready to work with Germany to expedite negotiations on the China-EU Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) and formulate a five-year agenda for China-EU cooperation. In particular, more outcomes should be achieved in upholding multilateralism and improving global governance to send positive messages to the world.
Fourth, as countries with major influence in the world, China and Germany should strengthen international coordination and contribute to world peace and development. We will further step up cooperation in regional and international affairs. China stands ready to support Germany in playing a positive part in its capacity as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council. China is ready to better coordinate with Germany under G20 and other frameworks to defend the international and multilateral system centered on the UN and defend the free trade system underpinned by the WTO. Both sides will also work in concert towards political resolution of hotspot issues including Libya and the Iranian nuclear issue.

- Bridge City Tool Works BCT Jointmaker pro V2
- Brand: Bridge City Tool Works | Category: Other
Well, I finally got my Jointmaker Pro V2. I mainly bought this tool to make kerf bending, inlay, and a few other ideas I have for spiffing up projects.
The tool comes in a fairly small box, there are a lot of pieces and assembly instructions are very explicit and easy to follow, the machine can be put together in one afternoon.
When I got my tool, there were a few parts missing or the wrong size, being BCT once I contacted them I was sent the parts at no charge to me via Fedex, great service on their part.
The machine works as advertised, but it does take some time (and patience) to dial it in and square everything away. If you are in need of making small precise cuts, this is the machine to get. The picture above was a test piece done in 5 minutes and just eyeballing the cuts, not even marking the wood.
If you plan on getting one of this. I would recommend you build the holding table first and then adjust the machine for optimum work. For me it was too difficult to do it on the work bench, too high to push the wood through the blade.
This machines uses an inverted japanese saw blade, it comes with 3 cross cut blades and there are rip blades available. While the blades are sold in sets of five, each blade costs about $22. If you are careful the blades should last you for a long time, depending on the use and wood being cut.
I know this is a short review, but really the machines works as advertised and it is just easier to visit their site and look at their videos.

Thanks for the review.
The first pic looks like the stand has an incline. Why is that?
#2 posted 11-14-2011 07:19 AM
Just so that your arms don't have to extend so much to make the cut to the end. It is what is recommended by BCT

Yes they are, their tools are considered expensive by some, but given they work as advertised, they have outstanding customer service and they let you do things that otherwise would be hard to do, they are worth every penny to me.

I've always been intrigued by this tool. I think it is ideal for making small objects where precise cuts are necessary. I also like the idea of making quiet cuts. I think whether or not I get one is be dependent on what kind of work I want to focus on in the future. If I want to focus more on small items (box making et al) this could be the tool for me.
Am I right to assume that the blades cannot be sharpened?

#5 posted 11-15-2011 07:51 PM
Yeah, the blades cannot be sharpened, but if you use a small enough pitch and repetitive cuts, they last for a long time.

This IS a very interesting tool. BUT given the price tag, I think I would rather spend TIME practicing those cuts with a regular Japanese handsaw. Most of the cuts made on their video can be done by hand. Thanks for the review, it's the first time I've seen this tool.
#7 posted 11-15-2011 08:57 PM
Most of the cuts made on their video can be done by hand.
Yes they can, but not with the precision this tool offers, which is it's main selling point. Why use a router when you can do most of the profiles by hand? :-)

I went to their web site but could not see the price. Can you tell us how much it cost?
#9 posted 11-16-2011 08:25 PM
It is $1,384 and $1,245.6 if you are a founder's club member, which cost $45 for one year. Here is a link with other prices, for example the single wing, which is cheaper.

This is an awesome tool. What I find appealing is the unsurpassed efficiency (both material and energy): turn the smallest possible amount of wood into dust to achieve the objective. I suppose if you make living making custom decorative boxes and such, that thing will pay off quickly just in saving on precious woods.
#11 posted 01-21-2014 04:44 PM
This looks like an amazing tool. I've been drooling over it for more than a year now.
Has this remained a staple in your shop? Is it well suited for box making with 3/4" and under material?
My problem with their videos is that they don't show practical use. While cool, coffee stirrers isn't what I want to see being cut.
#12 posted 01-21-2014 05:01 PM
Is it well suited for box making with 3/4" and under material?
You can use material up to 1 and 5/8 thick. 3/4 is no problem at all. The machine is geared towards making small cuts with precision and safety. Cuts that other wise would be dangerous on a TS. It is one of those items that you use sparsely but wonderful when you need it.

'We're goin' to Bonnie Doon!' and now you can too
IN the iconic Aussie movie The Castle, the Kerrigan's holidayed at Bonnie Doon.
Now you can too!
You're not dreamin' - the Bonnie Doon holiday house is now available to book through Airbnb.
Located in regional Victoria, guests can make themselves at home in the kitchen to cook up some rissoles or eat sponge cake around the refurbished 60s retro dining table.
Or better yet, head to Lake Eildon and cast a line out in search of trout, redfin or carp and smell the two stroke.
Priced from $200 per night, The Castle in Bonnie Doon sleeps up to six guests in the house with an extra room for additional guests in the Pool Room.
It also includes a front verandah with a BBQ and a fireplace where you can sit around with a good mug.
The experience will have you exclaiming "how's the serenity?" and create a memory that will go straight to the pool room.
The Castle in Bonnie Doon Airbnb host Mel said it has been amazing to open up their home to fans of The Castle.
"We have guests travel from all over to stay with us, while others will often come just to have a look and stop to take photos.
"The movie celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, but fans are still keen to share a slice of Australian film history.
"We continue to get a buzz from the reaction guests have when they visit The Castle in Bonnie Doon, and we can't wait to share it with more people - it's just the vibe of the thing."

Inka Trail Expeditions Peru brings you this exclusive, two days hike using the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu and passing by Llactapata, designed with the best travel experience possible.
Dare to trek the Inca Trail crossing the jungle and the Peruvian Andes? This is a path of approximately 30 kilometers, through extraordinary landscapes, moving through different ecosystems with an abundant variety of flora and fauna, including the sacred 'Coca leaves' of the Incas which are cultivated with the permission of the Peruvian government.
You could visit Llactapata, an Inca site built on the top of a mountain just in front of Machu Picchu, and end your tour with a magnificent sunrise over the Inka Citadel of Machupicchu.
At 4:00 am we come pick you up at your hotel to start our travel through the Sacred Valley of the Incas. On the way you could enjoy the beautiful snowy peaks of the highest point on the way, Abra Málaga (4350 meters). We descend through the jungle to Santa Teresa in the province of the Convention, and have our breakfast.
At 9:00 am we officially start the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu from Lucmabamba to reach the archaeological site of Llactapata from where you could see for the first time the Machupicchu, just right in front of you. We then descend for one hour toward a beautiful waterfall. We have lunch in Hidroelectrica, and then continue heading to Machu Picchu Pueblo passing near the Mandor Waterfalls, also known for its botanical gardens offering beautiful and colorful flowers. We finally arrive at Machu Picchu town to rest in a comfortable hotel.
Optional: you can give an early night visit to the Aguas Calientes' Hot Springs where the entrance fee is US $4.
Meals: Breakfast - Lunch - Tea Time - Dinner.
We have breakfast and then take the 6am bus up to Machu Picchu to enjoy the beautifull sunrise. After which we are given a walking tour of approximately 2 hours by your erudite tour guide, followed by an exploration of the mysterious city all by yourselves.
If you had previously bought your Waynapicchu ticket (additional cost of 15 dollars but only 200 persons allowed twice a day, at 7 am and 10 am, so it is highly recommended to book ahead) you can also climb the neighboring mountain (2720m/8890ft): it takes about 45 minutes to reach the top. But you might have to skip the tour and seriously reduce your own time on the site of Machu Picchu.
We take the Expedition train back to Ollantaytambo followed by a bus to Cusco. We are in Cusco at around 10:30 pm.
Meals: Breakfast.
Note for the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu via Llactapata 2D/1N
The itinerary and campsites provided by the INC (institution that runs the Inca Trail) are subject to change depending on the time of booking. It can also vary depending on the climate or the health status of the trekkers. The train (to and from Ollantaytambo) included in every tour is the Expedition Service. Train times will only be confirmed near the time of the trek; thus if you join a group later we cannot guarantee you will be travelling on the same trains as the rest of the group. Train times are also subject to change depending on the train company timetables or availability.

There are three primary things that small children need which are spoken the language in any form, physical interaction and proper learning and better behavior. You can get it all from any Henderson Top Rated Preschool provided you search for the right one having all the proper certificates and accreditation, qualified staff and educators, the proper environment and much more. There are a lot of such preschools that you may find in your locality but a good one would not only instill good behavior in your child but would also prepare him with adequate knowledge to face his classmates in his new school and not feel shy to face the new world around him.
Therefore, a preschool must focus their teaching on these parameters in which a child or a toddler listens to a lot of spoken and certainly not recorded or digital, language. All these should be in a rhythmic fashion and the form of rhymes, songs so that each syllable registers to their mind first and they can recognize it when they hear that specific tone or sound. Picture books also must be read aloud along with short story telling so that they are not bored listening to a long story and fall asleep. There should be a lot of physical interaction around so that they tend to engage them with every action and be playfully learning throughout the day.
If you thought that a child messing around things in your house is a useless activity you are wrong. Such apparently destructive attitude and behavior in your child would later help in retaining and combining ideas and would contribute directly to the academic success in the later stages. This is well understood by a top-rated preschool and is implemented in their teaching process as well. This is why children younger than two years are suggested not to be allowed to watch or play with screens as they develop learning delays. Outdoor games are given much importance and therefore a good preschool would have a lot of outdoor play area for children.
Preschools lay the foundation stone for the behavior of your child through strict discipline taught in a loving way. Therefore, you should choose a school which has the best curriculum having all the interesting topics that would entice a child's brain. The Proper curriculum has a strong and positive impact on the achievement of the child which should include all the daily activities, routines, and transitions that would lay an impact on the behavioral, emotional, physical, intellectual, and social and language development.
The curricula should be very practical and easy to implement, with proper guidelines on setting up the learning environment, provide support to children as well as their parents, and most importantly should be appealing to the children. The curriculum should be creative, having high scope for making project approach along with various theme-based models to impart knowledge. All these you can get easily and effortlessly from a top rated preschool but make sure to check all the criteria to be one of the top-ranked preschools in the area.

4000 - Advisory Opinions
Plaintiffs in Ongoing Class Action Do Not Qualify for "Pass-Through" Insurance for Defendants' Funds Held in Escrow Account by Court
November 26, 1990
J. William Via, Jr., Counsel
By your letter of November 15, you elaborate on information provided with your letter of October 26 in which you requested concurrence in the substance of the deposit insurance advice rendered in an opinion letter, dated September 14, 1990, from your firm (per ***) addressed to ***, subject to all facts and assumptions set forth in the opinion. In my letter to you of November 5, I so concurred, with an amplification that need not concern us here. However, my letter of November 5 necessarily relied on the validity of the assumption recounted in paragraph two of *** 's letter, i.e., "For purposes of this opinion, we assume that the trustee is acting under a valid trust agreement which clearly establishes the separately valued interest of each beneficiary."
The additional facts set out in your letter of November 15 cause me to conclude that the beneficiaries in this situation, being plaintiffs in a class action suit, will not have an ascertainable and vested ownership interest in the funds that the defendants will provide for the escrow account until the suit is concluded. Until the court issues its final order, the number of plaintiffs can change, as can the amounts of the various claims, which means that until that time, the plaintiffs have indeterminate claims against the defendants (satisfiable out of any of defendants' assets), not ascertainable and unconditional ownership interests in the escrow account deposit, which thus does not qualify in the interim for "pass-through", or pro-rata, deposit insurance, in my opinion.

As you may have heard on the news this morning, the British Medical Journal further discredited the research of Dr. Andrew Wakefield, an English doctor whose work attempts to link autism to vaccinations for measles, mumps and rubella. Wakefield's data and research practices have been questioned in the past, (he was barred from practicing medicine in the U.K. by the country's General Medical Council in May) but two new articles from the BMJ go as far as to claim that his research was not only incorrect, but purposely falsified, possibly for financial gain.
Yesterday's article and accompanying editorial will be the first in a series stating that Wakefield either misrepresented or altered information in his study of 12 children, whose autism he claims was linked to vaccination. According to the article's author Brian Deer, the series will "expose the bogus data behind claims that launched a worldwide scare over the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine, and reveals how the appearance of a link with autism was manufactured at a London medical school."
Since 2004 Deer has been publishing stories discrediting Wakefield's findings on the dangers of MMR vaccination, and now accuses the doctor of purposely submitting falsified data to prove his theories. A separate BMJ editorial written about Wakefield calls his work "an elaborate fraud."
Leonard Rappaport MD, MS and chief of Children's Hospital Boston's Division of Developmental Medicine, has this to say about Wakefield's work: …

Deck Gear Survey 2018
August 1, 2018
The manufacturers of all types of deck gear are reliant on the tug business for the bulk of their orders, and in 2018 many tug fleets remain reluctant to order new vessels because the EPA's Tier 4 standard now applies to all engines of more than 805 hp (600 kW). That requires a significant change in the layout of engine rooms and the operational procedure. One gear supplier is Markey Machinery of Seattle. Markey has been in business for more than 110 years, and has supplied many of the leading tug companies with high quality winches for many years, including McAllister Towing and Transportation who are building the nation's biggest class of Tier 4 tugs.
The Rosemary McAllister is the second in a series of four 100-foot by 40-foot tugs designed by another Seattle company, Jensen Maritime. She was delivered from Eastern Shipbuilding Group in Panama City, Florida to Norfolk, Virginia in June, 2018. Power comes from a pair of Caterpillar 3561E Tier 4 engines with a total output of 6,770 hp turning twin Schottel SRP4000FP drive units and was certified with 82.75 tons of bollard pull by the American Bureau of Shipping.
Markey supplied a Model DESF-48-100-hp class III Markey's trademark asymmetric Render/Recover winch for the bow and a Markey Model TES-40A-75-hp tow winch with a spool capacity of 2,500 feet of 2.25-inch wire at the stern. These tugs will provide enhanced ship docking as well as direct and indirect escorting for new post-Panamax and ultra-large vessels calling at New York and Norfolk.
LaConner, Washington-based Dunlap Towing recently completed sea trials of the new Tier 3, 5,350-hp Sigrid Dunlap, the second 121-foot ocean towing tug built for them by Hansen Boat Company in Marysville, Washington to a design by Hockema Whalen Myers Associates. The tow winch is a Markey Double Drum model TDSDS-36 powered by a John Deere-Clark 200-hp diesel located inside the deckhouse and connected by a short shaft that passes through the aft cabin wall. The drums have an increased capacity over the original Phyllis Dunlap, holding 3,100 feet of 2.25-inch wire and 2,400 feet of 2.25 wire. The winch has an electric motor come-home drive system as backup for the diesel winch engine. The control panel is on the upper deck above the winch. The tow pins were built by McEvoy Machine works. On the bow is a Markey DESW 32-20 electric drive with an anchor chain windlass.
The Teresa Brusco is the seventh and latest Brusco tug built at Portland's Diversified Marine to a standard Robert Allan design based on the original Cates Class ASD prototype developed in the late 1980's. The bow winch is a Markey Machinery DEPC-48-50-hp. This is Markey's class II electric hawser winch and is the same model that has gone on the past six Brusco tugs, said Markey's Scott Kreis. It's a single-drum winch with Markey's Render/Recover mode and a maximum line pull of 27,820 lbs. and maximum speed of 268 feet per minute, which makes it ideal for escort and ship-assist work. Bollard pull on the new tugs is 60 tons ahead and 55 tons astern. Soon after launching, the Teresa was chartered by AmNav, a division of Foss, and is now based in Tacoma.
Rapp Equipping More Tugs
Freeland, Washington's Nichols Brothers Boat Builders has signed a contract with Baydelta Maritime LLC of San Francisco for a new 100-foot by 40-foot Delta Class Tractor Tug from Jensen Marine design with a hybrid propulsion system. This will be the first hybrid project for Nichols and the seventh Valor-class Harbor tugs they have delivered for Baydelta. Rapp Marine will be supplying a pair of electric winches to this vessel: a 75-hp hawser winch forward holding more than 850 feet of 8-inch hawser will apply up to 16 tons and has a brake holding strength of 300 tons at the barrel layer. It will incorporate Rapp Marine's proprietary fluid cooled electric motor, commonly used on its advanced winches for fisheries and research applications. It permits continuous, high torque operation on the electric motor and has a high power density for its size.
The tow winch aft has a single drum storing 1,200 feet of 2-inch inch synthetic rope. The winch can pull more than 75 tons at the first layer, and utilizes pneumatic cylinders in place of hydraulics. The robust brake offers a force of 205 metric tons on the barrel layer. Both winches are equipped with level winds, and multi-disc clutches that allow the planetary gearbox to be disengaged in the event of an emergency freewheel/release situation.
The main control stations for both winches will be situated in the wheelhouse, with secondary controls located on the winch. The bridge station will employ Rapp Marine's advanced Pentagon Tug PLC Pentagon Control System that features a touchscreen with tension and wire length readouts, auto-tension capability, and automated haul-in and payout settings, as well as capacity for logging data from both winches.
Rapp Marine has a long-standing relationship with Sause Bros of Coos Bay, Oregon providing them with durable hydraulic deck equipment for their tugs and barges. The 123-foot long-haul tugs Mikiona and Cochise were launched more than a decade ago with tow winches featuring a direct drive via a John Deere 250-hp engine with 2,600 feet of 2.25-inch towing wire on the primary drum, and 800 feet of 2.25-inch wire on the pendant drum. A 60-hp electric motor provides emergency back-up. Rapp will be equipping a third Sause tug under construction at Diversified Marine with these proven hydraulic winches.
Shaver Transportation of Portland is also having a tug built at Diversified and fitted with two Rapp hydraulic winches. The hawser winch is for ship assist and escort duty on the Columbia River and across the Columbia bar, with the sturdy design capable of fully paying out and retrieving up to 100 Metric Tons. It will be powered by one C32 Caterpillar auxiliary engine or an additional small generator for lighter jobs. Two multiple motor gearboxes provide the speed and torque necessary for the active payout and retrieval operation, and the winch features sturdy band brakes that are designed to hold up to 250 metric tons of tension. It also features an electrically driven level-wind that will allow for easy, on-the-fly adjustment of the fairlead during operations.
The double drum tow winch aft will hold either wire or synthetic rope, depending on the job, and is designed to handle multiple demands, including emergency and long-haul towing. Each drum is independently driven by a separate gearbox with multiple hydraulic motors and a capacity of 74.5 metric tons on the first layer. The sturdy band brakes for each drum will be able to hold up to 165 metric tons on the first layer. The level winds for each of the drums are underwound for improved hull stability, and are also independently driven by VFD electric motors.
Both winches' main control stations will be situated in the wheelhouse, one facing the bow and the other the stern, with secondary controls located on the winch. They will also use Rapp Marine's advanced Pentagon Tug PLC Control System. "This is the biggest set of winches that Rapp Marine has delivered for a US tugboat" says Johann Sigurjonsson, CEO of Rapp Marine US. "We are proud to be working with all these well-respected companies on these innovative new tugboats," he added.
ECO's Valdez Escort Tugs
Edison Chouest Offshore (ECO) took over the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company's (Alyeska) ship-assist contract in Valdez, Alaska on July 1 from Crowley Marine Services. ECO won the 10-year Ship Escort-Response Vessel System (SERVS) contract on the strength of its plan to build nine powerful new tugs with the latest Caterpillar Tier 4 engines and Rolls-Royce ASD's and winches for this environmentally-sensitive project. The designs are modifications of proven Damen tugs specifically re-designed for response needs in the challenging winter conditions in Prince William Sound.
"Chouest was pleased to have this opportunity to take Damen's proven hull design and helped create a new, state-of-the-art escort tug," said Gary Chouest, President/CEO of Edison Chouest Offshore. ECO operates a growing fleet of well over 200 vessels, ranging from 87 to more than 525 feet in length. All nine new tugs were built at Chouest-affiliated shipyards on the Gulf Coast. The fleet consists of four 102.5-foot ASD 3212 tugs with 6,000 hp a bollard pull of 65.8 metric tons, and five of the 140-foot ASD 4517 boats with a power of 12,336 hp and a bollard pull of 136 metric tons, making them the most powerful ASD tugs ever built.
The tugs will have Rolls-Royce towing and auxiliary winches, all based on low-pressure hydraulics. Winches on the five large Damen ASD 4517 tugs will have dynamic towing capability with constant tension and the ability to haul in and pay out in the full bollard pull range on the bigger tugs. Rolls-Royce stated that the dynamic towing capability of the low-pressure hydraulics reduces risk during a towing operation, and reduces wear and tear on tow gear.
Two Seattle manufacturers supplied vital equipment to the nine Alyeska tugs. Smith Berger Marine designed and manufactured the tow pin stern roller units for all nine tugs. The tow pin unit on the 140 footers has the capacity to sustain 250 tons of line tension and features three individually raised and lowered towing pins, one hold down hook, and a 14-inch diameter stern roller. The tow pins have a dedicated 5-hp electro-hydraulic power unit and are operated by a remote-control panel located in the wheelhouse.
North Pacific Crane supplied the port and starboard deck cranes and operator's cab on the ECO 140-foot tugs. They are used for the offshore lifting of loads under sea state levels. The model number of the crane is MCK-1030 (marine crane knuckle boom) with a 10-ton capacity.
The number of tankers leaving Valdez with crude oil has fallen sharply since 1989, when North Slope oil production was triple the recent output of 540,000 barrels of oil daily in the pipeline, but an oil tanker still leaves Valdez about every 1 1/2 days.
Another large tug with a modern deck crane is the 120-foot Sigrid Dunlap with a SOLAS-approved rescue boat. This high-visibility orange craft is an aluminum double-walled design from Palfinger that is launched by a straight-boom 2,500-lbs. crane that came from Allied Industries of Tualatin, Oregon.
Equipment on Small Tugboats
Modutech Marine, of Tacoma, Washington is delivering an order of 25 tugs, designated Work Boat Medium, to the US Navy to perform tug and utility work on naval bases. Naval architects Hockema Whalen Myers Associates has developed a 30-foot by 15-foot tug, with a pair of Cummins QSL 9 diesels each delivering 285 hp continuous duty. The combined power of 570 hp will give the tugs a 17,500-lbs. (8 long ton) bollard pull. A pair of Bloom deck winches are mounted forward, port and starboard, to secure a barge to the push knees. Wide side decks provide a safe workspace for the deckhand. A towing bitt is mounted on the after deck. The Bloom company of Iowa manufactures a wide range of galvanized marine-grade winches from 8,000 to 65,000 pounds capacity.
In British Columbia, Bracewell Marine Group produced its first production BMG 1.5-inch by 2,400-foot towing winch for installation on a 59-foot tug owned by Mercury Transport and ready for launch at the Sylte Shipyard on the Fraser River south of Vancouver. The boat will be based in Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver for work on Howe Sound – North America's southernmost fjord.

Earlier this year, Microsoft released a preview of the Azure Network Watcher. It includes a number of network analysis and troubleshooting features, but the packet capture is the one I get the most questions about. The packet capture is fed into a .cap file, of the standard format used with popular network capture tools, such as Wireshark.
In addition to enabling the Network Watcher VM extension, we need to enable Network Watcher in each Azure region where we have resources we need to monitor. If you highlight the subscription, we can enable in all Azure regions in one click.
Then, we select Network Watcher and click the +Add button.
When we configure the packet capture settings, we can configure several options, including source and target machine, as well as the length of time of the capture.
Note: I like the option to store the capture file in a storage account for central storage, but we can also select the File option to store the capture on the target VM.
By clicking the +Add filter option, we can configure many of the same types of filters we could with popular capture tools, including ports, addresses and protocols, and take a capture.
Once the capture is complete, we can click on the cap file to proceed with download.
…which requires we then click a Download link.
Then, we can open in the tool of our choice, such as Wireshark.
While we can start captures manually, we can also start captures programmatically, such as through Azure Functions.

Amplifiers/repeaters are a cell signal's steroids. They help pick up distant cell signals and amplify them, greatly improving users' data speeds and call quality. In particularly rural areas, they have saved many a device from being burned in effigy. But then they got on the bad side of the law, or more specifically the FCC. The FCC feared that amplifiers would interfere with other nearby cell signals. The FCC worried that people like the emergency services wouldn't be able to get calls out because repeaters were messing with their signals.
This kind of interference was low levels at best, but the FCC was seriously considering banning cellular amplifiers altogether. This sent a shockwave of fear through amplifier manufacturers like Cellphone-Mate and Wilson Electronics, because believed that being banned by the FCC would crush their growing business. This caused them to go into overdrive to help to resolve the issues that FCC had.
The FCC gave the amplifier industry a set of guidelines in February of this year that they must adhere to for them to be considered safe to use. Manufacturers worked with the FCC to create these guidelines. This way they could ease the fears of the FCC without creating a market where the amps would be useless. Now the FCC has ruled that the amplifier manufacturers can continue to sell amplifiers, as long as they follow the new rules by March of next year.
So what does this mean for the average consumer? This means that retailers will be able to sell amps without restrictions. Businesses as well as consumers are now considered to be on the same footing when it comes to buying amps. This means the person in rural Georgia won't have to jump through hoops to get an amp that the rural georgia bus driving service doesn't have to get an amp.
You can buy an amp for anywhere and use it how you please. Manufacturers are hoping this will take their already burgeoning business to the next level. As people's need to stay connected have grown so has companies like Cellphone-Mate and Wilson Electronics' hopes for a market for their products.

text: Ram HD blows past Ford tow ratings, capacityby David Zatz on January 9, 2013 at 8:51 am EDT This morning, Dodge released towing and weight ratings for the 2013 Ram Heavy Duty pickups and Chassis Cab trucks. The Ram 3500 Heavy Duty pickup is rated at up to 30,000 pounds of trailer capacity, blowing by Ford, GMC, and Chevrolet; its closest competitor's maximum tow capacity is 23,100 pounds. The Ram 3500's capacity increase was enabled by a new 50,000 pounds-per-square-inch, high-strength steel frame, a stronger transfer case, a higher-load transmission (Aisin AS69RC), larger front drive shafts and U-joints, an upgraded 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel engine with a best-in-class 850 lb.-ft. of torque, and other upgrades. "We built the new 2013 Ram Heavy Duty to be the undisputed Heavy Duty 'King of the Road.' These new rigs deliver on the number one key attribute most critical to these customers: uncompromising capability," said Fred Diaz, President and CEO — Ram Truck Brand and Chrysler de Mexico, Chrysler Group LLC. "Towing capability, reliability and engine performance are ranked first through third, respectively, with HD customers. The 2013 Ram Heavy Duty trucks unequivocally deliver all those things, as well as a very low total cost of ownership." The Ram 3500's Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) — the maximum combined weight of the truck, payload and trailer — has been raised to 37,600 pounds, which far surpasses the closest competitor's 30,500-pound GCWR. The 2013 Ram 2500 also saw towing and combined weight rating boosts; at 18,350 and 25,000, Ram 2500's towing and GCW ratings are also best among ¾-ton pickups. Ram Chassis Cab trucks also deliver maximum capability with best-in-class towing and GCWR figures 29,600 pounds and 37,500 pounds, respectively, in the top-end Ram 5500. Ram Heavy Duty added a number of new features for 2013, including a factory-integrated fifth-wheel and gooseneck hitch mount, a 17,000-pound Class V hitch with 1,800 pounds of tongue weight, class-exclusive electronic stability control (ESC) for dual-rear-wheels, and a new Center High-Mounted Stop Light (CHMSL) –positioned camera, the first of its kind in the heavy-duty pickup category, to provide a full view of the bed for easier hook-up of fifth-wheel or gooseneck trailers as well as monitoring cargo. For 2013, all Ram Heavy Duty diesels have a new cooling system whose high-efficiency fan, dual radiators, dual transmission coolers, and low-slung charge air cooler provide 25% more heat-rejection capacity. Lower operating temperatures deliver improved performance, durability and lower operating costs. Cummins Turbo Diesel-equipped Ram trucks also provide best-in-class 15,000-mile oil change intervals. The exclusive Ram Active Air intake system draws cooler air from the front of the vehicle when it senses extreme heat; it also engages at high altitudes for superior throttle response in low oxygen environments. When conditions are wet, the system pulls air from an under-hood inlet, clear from snow packing and water. A new front and rear suspension system with advanced geometry builds upon the chassis improvements and greatly improves overall roll stiffness. An advanced three-link front suspension on the Ram 3500 is necessary for the vehicle's higher GVWR and for use with heavy front loads, including snow plows. A newly designed Hotchkiss leaf spring rear suspension on the Ram 3500 offers improved ride and handling while delivering higher towing and payload capability.

A consciousness thought leader, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and inspirational speaker. He is the founder of Rythmia Life Advancement Center in Costa Rica, the "go-to" destination for a spiritually awakening vacation experience.
He also founded Truthenomics, an online program teaching the skills and insights essential to a life of manifestation.
One of the 1 percent, he made his millions from creating and selling multiple companies, including thatlook.com, a pioneer in mass-market access to cosmetic surgery, and My Choice Medical Inc.
His spiritual journey is the subject of a documentary film, The Reality of Truth syndicated on GAIA and with over 2.5+ Million YouTube views, featuring conversations with thought leaders such as Ram Dass, Joel Osteen, Sri Ravi Shankar, Deepak Chopra, and Marianne Williamson, as well as Hollywood stars Michelle Rodriguez and Peter Coyote.
A short documentary film, entitled Mrs. Moon's Medicine, which is part companion to this book, is just released.
Gerry's journey began when a friend who'd heard about the miraculous healing power of psychedelic plant medicine for sufferers of addiction suggested that he travel to Costa Rica to see if it could save his life.
There, under the guidance of a 10th- generation Bwiti Shaman, Gerry experienced the life-altering power of an ancient Amazonian plant-based brew: it healed him from a lifetime of addiction in one night— inspiring him to continue to heal his life through Ayahuasca. (Often compared to medical marijuana, it's technically legal in the United States, but controversial.)
During his inaugural Ayahuasca ceremony, Gerry felt as if he left his body, "flew through space and time" (including his own painful past)..."and landed on the moon." After coming "back down to earth," he had a deeper understanding of his emptiness when he reviewed a suppressed memory of being molested by his grandfather—one of the subconscious traumas destroying his life.
Acknowledging that his life was "a mess," he began to work on conquering his addictions, healing his emotional and psychological wounds, and embracing himself. His spiritual awakening and radical life overhaul eventually inspired him to create a haven for those seeking enlightenment and renewal, the Rythmia Life Advancement Center in Costa Rica.
According to the author, "Rythmia saved my life...Almost from the beginning, I felt I was
embarking on a mission to create a place in Costa Rica where other people could discover what I had learned. I decided to call it Rythmia."

There is currently no known way to prevent or cure hydrocephalus and the only treatment option today requires brain surgery. With early detection and appropriate intervention of hydrocephalus, the future for many is promising. Recent research is advancing knowledge and moving us closer to a cure. Advances in technology as well as diagnostic and treatment protocols are helping more and more people with hydrocephalus to lead full and active lives.
There are three forms of surgical treatment currently used to manage hydrocephalus.
Shunt System
The most common treatment for hydrocephalus—and the most common procedure performed by pediatric neurosurgeons in the United States—is the surgical implantation of a device called a shunt.
A shunt is a flexible tube placed into the ventricular system of the brain which diverts the flow of CSF into another region of the body, most often the abdominal cavity, where it can be absorbed. A valve within the shunt maintains CSF at normal pressure within the ventricles.
Click here to download our fact sheet on shunt systems.
Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV) and Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy with Choroid Plexus Cauterization (ETV/CPC)
A second treatment option for hydrocephalus is a surgical procedure called endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV). This same ETV procedure with the addition of choroid plexus cauterization is available for infants. In the ETV procedure, an endoscope is used to puncture a membrane in the floor of the third ventricle creating a pathway for CSF flow within the cavities in the brain. This approach is an important alternative to shunting for obstructive hydrocephalus and may be useful in other cases as well.
The third treatment option involves the addition of choroid plexus cauterization with endoscopic third ventriculostomy in infants. The neurosurgeon uses a device to burn or cauterize tissue from the choroid plexus. The choroid plexus is a network of vessels in the ventricles of the brain where cerebrospinal fluid is produced.
The success rate for ETV or ETV/CPC depends upon patient factors such as age, cause of hydrocephalus, and whether there is scarring in the fluid space below the floor of the third ventricle. For some patients, the chance for success of the ETV may be up to 90%; however, for others, ETV – with the addition of CPC for infants – may not be recommended because the chances for success are sufficiently low. Your neurosurgeon should be able to provide you with a reliable estimate of the likelihood for success in your particular situation prior to the operation. It's critical that parents and patients understand that ETV is not always a permanent cure for hydrocephalus. Candid communication with your physician regarding the definition of success is important when considering ETV.

It's spring and the CONTACT festival is in (nearly) full bloom in Toronto. " Nearly" because a number of big shows are starting later in the month. That's good.
Going from gallery to gallery as I am, I can't help but be hyper-aware of the chasm between the imagery in the galleries and that which surrounds us. Something's bothering me about it, and it's not the crush of imagery – I regularly use that imagery in my work – Product Man (below) is a good example.
Something entirely different is going on, and that's because our "surround" now includes imagery from within, creeping insistently into our lives from the digital tools in our pockets, like our instagram feeds. And that's not all. While working photographers around the world are grasping at the meaning, power and use of public art, advertisers and instagramers have fallen in love with fairy-tale narratives.
Take these three images – the middle from an ad for a beauty magazine; the first and third from my instagram feed. Each of these photos is enormously popular. But really, they're all average photos with little to recommend them, other than the fantastic application of various post production procedures. They seem to be valuable because they're other-worldly. Their value is all about spectacle.
John Doyle put his finger on the phenomenon perfectly in today's Globe & Mail. The divide, he said, is between the spectacular and the substantial. And he described the substantial perfectly in the television context as "textured drama that has a concreteness in its purpose and transcends escapist storytelling to find a moral purpose".
I couldn't have said it better. Just substitute the word drama with photograph.
A hearty thanks to Mr. Doyle for the clarity of his phrase. Now I'm ready to get blogging about some of the wonderfully substantial work on view this month and well into June .

Surefire proof that talent runs in the family: here's a screencap from the latest movie of my godson, Joey, Jedi in training: My brother did all the sounds, created the little robot, and of course, made the lightsaber. I wish I could post the movie, but it's too big and I don't have the bandwidth for all that downloading. For now, you'll hafta just imagine. It's simply fantastic. As Joey says, "Just like Yoda!" They're probably just about the same height, too. In other exciting news: I was listed as one of SARK's "websight" resources in her August e-newsletter (the theme this month is Living Juicy)! I have to write a nice thank you letter. Right away. Yow.

Primal Scream Unveil New 'Mystery' Bassist -
Primal Scream have revealed unknown musician, Simone Butler as their new bassist.
Following the departure of longtime member
Mani, who has returned to the Stone
Roses, the bass position was temporally filled by
My Bloody Valentine's Debbie Googe.
However, it has now been announced that Butler will now join the
Screamadelica rockers full time.
Little is known about the new bassist, and Primal Scream representatives have no further information at present.
Just last month Gillespie revealed that the band are planning to release a new album in early 2013 which would feature "modern rock'n'roll".
Gillespie said of the new record,
"The songwriting has got better! Live we're a guitar rock'n'roll band but when we make records... it would boring if we just made guitar records, we've got our own way of doing things. It's Primal Scream music."
The as-yet-untitled album will mark band's 10th studio outing and will follow up their 2008 studio effort 'Beautiful Future'.

Benevento goalkeeper Alberto Brignoli felt justice was served after he scored a sensational last-gasp goal against AC Milan to earn the Campania club their first point of the season in Serie A on Sunday.
Benevento, who set a new league record by losing their first 14 games of the season, were trailing Milan in the final seconds of stoppage time when their goalkeeper produced a diving header from a free kick to secure a 2-2 draw.
"I was just thinking: it was 2-1, the 95th minute, we had nothing to lose -- I went up, closed my eyes and leapt," Brignoli told Sky Sport Italia. "It was certainly more of a goalkeeper's dive than a striker's.
"It's hard to describe. I just went up there and hoped for the best."
The draw still leaves Benevento languishing at the foot of Serie A with just one point, but Brignoli felt it was the least they deserved against the Rossoneri, whose new coach Gennaro Gattuso was unable to turn their fortunes around on his debut.
"I'm delighted for the fans, the players and the president," Brignoli, 26, said. "It would have been awful to lose this -- we've already lost so many in the last second which we really didn't deserve to lose, like at Sassuolo.
"We got some payback today. We've proven we can hold our own against anyone -- we just need the breaks to go our way."

Welcome back to our review of Blue Apron! If you want to know more about Blue Apron in general, click on over to the Blue Apron Unboxing and Pricing post to get the scoop.
First on the menu was Pork Dan Dan Noodles with Watermelon Radish & Garlic-Lime Peanuts. Besides being visually appealing, this dish includes a lot of ingredients we usually have in our pantry so we could easily make it again without having to invest in a bunch of new ingredients if we liked it.
If you want to make this at home yourself, here's what you'll need.
- 8 oz. ground pork (or turkey, chicken or beef)
- 4 oz. Canton Noodles
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 scallions
- 1 lime
- 1 watermelon radish (for garnish, optional)
- 2 tbsp doubanjiang paste
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp peanuts
- 1 tsp light brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground sichuan pepper corn
- 1/2 tsp white ground pepper
Makes 2 servings
If you're planning on trying Blue Apron, I would recommend reading through the whole recipe card before starting. That way there are no surprises along the way. Now onto the prep and cooking!
Step 1: Prep your vegetables. Mince the garlic, chop your scallions at an angle (separating the whites from the greens), cut your watermelon radish into matchsticks, and zest (~2 tsp) and quarter your lime.
Step 2: Boil a pot of salted water and cook your noodles for 2-3 min or until tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 3: Make your peanut garnish. In a large skillet heat 2 tbsp of oil until nice and hot. Give your peanuts a rough chop and add them to your pan with the half the garlic until they are nice and golden brown. Add in the lime zest and give everything a good toss.
Transfer onto a paper towel and set aside.
Step 4: Make the sauce. Combine your peanut butter, doubanjiang paste, soy sauce, and 1/4 cup of water. Give everything a good whisk to make sure everything is combined.
Step 5: In the same pan you used to make your peanuts, cook your ground pork until browned. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside.
Step 6: In the same pan, add 2 tsp of oil and add in your brown sugar, ground ginger, ground sichuan pepper corn, white ground pepper, the rest of your garlic and the white bottoms of the scallions. Cook until everything is lightly softened and then add in your sauce mixture.
Step 7: Remove from heat and add in your noodles.
Give everything a light toss to ensure the sauce gets evenly distributed over the noodles.
Step 8: Plate and garnish with the peanuts, scallions and watermelon radish.
The verdict: Overall, we both really enjoyed this dish. The sauce was rich, flavorful, and the perfect accompaniment to the pork and noodles. Best of all, you can easily sub the pork for chicken, beef, turkey, or even fish. While the watermelon radish and peanuts are a nice touch, they aren't absolutely necessary. Yes, the gorgeous pink color from the watermelon radish really makes the dish pop and adds some crunch but its not a vital component. So if you're making this dish to impress someone, absolutely add in the radish and other garnish. But if you're looking for a quick and easy weekday dinner for two, you can certainly leave out the fancy garnish and stick with just the main ingredients.
As with all of these types of subscription services, a portion of the end result depends on the preparation and execution of the dish by non-professional chefs. But after all is said and done, I think we did a pretty good job following the directions outlined in the recipe card. Some of the cooking times may be off by a few minutes but if you stick with the recipe suggestions and use a little common sense, you should be in the clear. Also, some of the ingredient measurements may have been modified so you can follow along at home (i.e. 1 packet = ~1 tbsp).
And with that, thanks for reading and stay tuned for more Blue Apron meals to come!
If you also received this dish from Blue Apron, I'd love to know your thoughts on it as well! Simply leave a comment below.

Wonder Woman is, for all but 30 minutes, pretty fantastic.
Despite a rough opening half hour Wonder Woman manages to take a 'fish out of water' story and make it feel fresh and unique.
The DC Extended Universe films have been anything but stellar since the release of Man of Steel, which had many problems of its own. This poor track record completely muted my expectations for upcoming DC projects including the upcoming Justice League film. Thankfully what Wonder Woman does with its well told story gives some hope for the future, creating a film that somehow feel fresh despite being a known quantity.
With all this being said, there was a real opportunity to make a tight and snappy 2 hour film (somehow that is snappy now), but instead the run time eeks out to 141 minutes, with at least 20 uninteresting minutes of dull exposition to start the film. Once we get past the slow build the film rattles along at a great pace, rarely feeling dull or slow. Going forward without the need for a 'new' character introduction, hopefully we see the length come down to a solid 2 hours. It will be interesting to see what director Patty Jenkins would do with a sequel, already stating that she wants to bring Wonder Woman to America's shores. Whether it is current day or days past again, with the introductory business out of the way, a full sequel would be exciting.
Before she was Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, Diana meets an American pilot (Chris Pine), whose plane crash lands into the islands waters. Fleeing from the German enemy he tells her about the massive conflict that's raging in the outside world. Convinced that she can stop the threat, Diana leaves her home for the first time. Fighting alongside men in a war to end all wars, she finally discovers her full powers and true destiny.
Since Gal Gadot stole the spotlight with her first performance as Wonder Woman in the disappointing Batman vs Superman, their was a buzz for what she would bring to a full Wonder Woman film. What we get is a really charismatic and charming performance that hits all the right notes. It is as consistent as it is ambitious from Diana's introduction to a new civilisation, that echoes the first Thor film, to the stunning action sequences that just ooze style. Pine continues to be one of the more underrated stars of Hollywood, also excelling in his role as Diana's love interest and link to the war Capt. Steve Trevor.
The nice thing about the film is that it lives in a space that is an in-between point of the dark styling of a Nolan Batman and the technicolour insanity of an Avengers. Grounded in some form of odd reality it finds a difference that is desperately needed in the realm of superhero movies. Not expecting to love the film due to DCEU's very subpar track record, Jenkins, Gadot and co. left me very surprised and with a feeling of excitement again for further interesting superhero outings.

China on Sunday unveiled Asia's biggest radio telescope to be used in collecting accurate data from satellites and space probes.
The 65 meter diameter telescope was unveiled at the foot of Sheshan Mountain in Shanghai.
The sprawling telescope with the size of about 10 basketball courts can pick up eight different frequency bands and also track Earth satellites, lunar exploration satellites and deep space probes, official media here reported.
"We hope that the new radio telescope will go into operation earlier so that we can use it to observe the unmanned lunar probe Chang'e-2," Wu Weiren, chief designer of the lunar orbiter project said.
The telescope will be used for Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), a type of astronomical interferometry used in radio astronomy, as it can collect accurate data and increase its angular resolution during astronomical observation, state run Xinhua reported.
China's VLBI system is made up of four telescopes in the cities of Shanghai, Beijing, Kunming, Urumqi, respectively, as well as a data center in Shanghai.
Radio telescopes differ from optical ones in that they use radio antennae to track and collect data from satellites and space probes.
The first radio antenna used to identify astronomical radio sources was built by American radio engineer Karl Guthe Jansky, an engineer with Bell Telephone Laboratories, in the early 1930s.

Millennials: We're impatient. We're self-centered. We're obsessed with social media. We get it. These qualities have often been used to berate and belittle us, but now it seems that the fashion world is catering to these exact "flaws" and upending the entire system in order to suit our "must-have-now" mentalities. Take that, Gen-X'ers! Read more Say Hello to Adele's New Bob According to WWD reports, Rebecca Minkoff is the latest designer to turn the typical fashion week structure on its head. Rather than follow tradition and show her fall 2016 collection to an exclusive group of editors, buyers and tastemakers at NYFW this February, the designer will instead show her spring 2016 collection (for a second time) to a crowd made up mostly of consumers. With this new strategy, Minkoff hopes that the social buzz and hype from excited customers at the show will give her spring 2016 collection — which will be in stores at the time — a sales bump. Read more M.A.C. Announces Collab with CFDA/'Vogue' Fashion Fund Alumni Like her fellow designer Jeremy Scott (who also sold products straight off of Moschino's runway in September), Minkoff believes that because customers are exposed to a bombardment of social-media coverage in real time, they become fatigued of the products before they hit retailers six months after the shows. What's more, by the time the clothes make their way into stores, many fast-fashion brands have already knocked them off. Though she admits that showing the collection she debuted in September might cause some initial confusion, Minkoff and her brother, company CEO and co-founder Uri Minkoff, believe that this is the way of fashion week's future. "This should be the new model for the industry," he told the trade. "It doesn't create dramatic change, but allows for all the parties to win. We kind of wanted to put our stake in the ground."
