A rising tide lifts all ships, and Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) is one of them. To wit, the S&P 500 has risen by 13.2% in the year-to-date, while Comcast has seen its stock climb by 14.4% -- around 1.2% more than the index.
On an absolute basis, this counts as "outperformance," with a beta of 1.28 vis-à-vis the S&P 500, Comcast actually trails its expected risk-adjusted return by 2.5%. What's more, on a six-month basis, Comcast has actually trailed the return of the S&P 500. This is illustrated in the chart below, which shows the price-performance of Comcast relative to the S&P 500 and its broad peer group, as represented by the Dow Jones Broadcast and Entertainment Index:
Given this picture, the cable giant can hardly be considered a stock market darling. In fact, despite the completion of its high-profile acquisition of NBCUniversal in March, Comcast still trails its peers' performance (indicated by the red line in the chart) by over 10% over the last six months. This is not particularly surprising, given that, in the trailing six months, its earnings have come in essentially flat against expectations, having missed analysts' December quarter estimates by a penny, only to claw that penny back in March.
In short, nothing Comcast has done in the last six months has excited investors enough for them to bid its stock up in the manner of competitors such as Time Warner (NYSE:TWX), which is up by over 27% in 2013.
With the markets setting record after record, it seems likely that Comcast will continue to benefit from the rising tide and finish the year with returns broadly in line with that of the S&P 500. For some investors, this might represent an opportunity; after all, Comcast's stock has not risen much compared to its peers and could catch-up, implying a greater upside. The question for investors is whether there is a reason to think that this is the case.
We don't think there is; in our view, Comcast will perform roughly in-line with the S&P 500 in 2013. Here's why:
We've established that Comcast's earnings have essentially been flat against consensus estimates over the past six months. That trend is unlikely to change and could actually break on the low side. Specifically, analysts expect its revenues to rise by 5.1% in the next quarter over the same period a year earlier, only to contract by an annualized 2.1% the following quarter.
Earnings-wise, Comcast is expected to earn 24.9% more this year than it did in 2012; that is more than double what its industry peers' earnings are expected to grow by (9.4%). The following year, however, its earnings are expected to expand by only 14.5%, less than half the 32.9% its industry's earnings are expected to grow by. Meanwhile, over the next five years, the company's revenues are expected to grow by 17.5% - a little faster than its industry's 16.6% - but lower than its own prior years' 19.2%.
The pattern evident for Comcast is one of the "on the one hand, on the other hand" variety. There is no clear-cut indication that Comcast is a company that deserves a premium valuation. For every positive on its earnings front there is a negative. Consider for example, how the company did in its last quarter; its customers are now paying $155 a month for its cable service - 8% more than a year ago - but it has 60,000 fewer subscribers in March than it did in December. Overall, Comcast has lost nearly 360,000 subscribers in the past year, representing a 2% erosion of the subscriber base it had in March 2012.
While it's commendable that the company is "doing more with less," its need to add more subscribers is evident in other new ventures it has announced, such as bringing its XFinity service to the fast-growing Asia-Pacific region. Tapping into this market should bolster revenues, but it remains to be seen whether Comcast can compete with companies with entrenched interests in the region, such as News Corp. (NASDAQ:NWS), which has an established presence by way of its STAR TV network.
Fundamentals & Valuation
Comcast is currently trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 17.9x, roughly in line with the 17.7x P/E of the S&P 500 but higher than its industry's P/E of 14.4x. Comcast is the United States' largest cable provider and is also one of its largest media entities, so a premium valuation on the basis of its size is to be expected. Moreover, as one of the S&P 500's components, index-tracking funds are required to carry its shares, so being valued roughly in-line with the S&P 500 supports our market-perform assessment of the stock.
Whether such a P/E is warranted by its actual earnings as opposed to relative value is another matter. As we've pointed out, Comcast's forward earnings picture is mixed. On a forward five-year basis, it is only a bit higher than its peer group's, but it is nearly double that of the S&P 500. In that sense, a bit of a premium is warranted, and the fact that it isn't trading at 20x or 22x suggests that it isn't particularly overvalued. So again, its 17.7x P/E appears just about right.
On a price-to-book basis, Comcast is cheap relative to its peer group at 2.3x book compared to 4.7x - but it is actually trading in-line with the S&P500's 2.4x, which is consistent with our assertion that Comcast is a market-perform stock.
One of the positives bandied about regarding Comcast is its strong absolute cash flow. However, most of its peers have the same relative position, as evidenced by their roughly equivalent price-to-cash flow: 15.3x to 15.7x. In short, while the nominal values might be impressive, the market is not exactly rewarding a premium for it, since it is one of the conditions at play in the industry. What's more, this strong cash flow generation isn't exactly seen in the company's cash levels; Comcast has quick and current ratios of 0.5 and 0.7, respectively. Both are lower than that of its peer group and the S&P 500 overall.
That said, its relatively lower cash levels should not be a cause for alarm as these are more related to the size of its trade-related payables than the size of its debt payments. In fact, Comcast has much lower levels of debt than its peers, with a total debt-to-equity ratio of 0.98, which compares very favorably to that of its peers which are considerably more leveraged with $2.50 of debt for every $1 of equity. Consequently, despite Comcast's relatively lower levels of cash, its interest coverage ratio is at 5.7x - 42% healthier than its peers' but still quite a bit lower than the S&P 500's aggregate ratio of 7.5.
On balance, Comcast's fundamentals and valuation tell us the same story as its earnings. There is no clear-cut picture, nothing to signal to investors that it's especially over or under-valued. In short, there is nothing to tell us that Comcast deserves anything more than a market-perform rating.

|Author||Frédéric Turlan (IRshare) and Eurofound|
|Measure added||21 September 2020|
Taking into account of 'the exceptional situation caused by COVID-19' , the management of ArianeGroup concluded an agreement on 29 May 2020 aimed at 'defining the modalities of implementation of the social measures mobilised during this period of crisis and its consequences' .
This text, signed with the CFDT, CFE-CGC and FO trade unions, notably sets up a solidarity fund to provide additional compensation for periods of short-time working scheduled until 31 July 2020. The text provides for other guarantees to support short-time working. It also provides for the return to work to be organised 'in successive waves, to ensure the best possible health conditions, with a maximum of two waves per week' . According to the group's main trade union organisation, the agreement allows employees to benefit from short-time working compensation close to 100% of their net pay instead of the legal 84% in the absence of an agreement.
Creation of a solidarity fund
In order to 'provide additional compensation to employees on short-time working who do not benefit from full maintenance of their net pay' , the agreement sets up a solidarity fund based on a principle of solidarity between the different categories of employees. Until 5 July, the fund will be fed via :
The agreement defines other measures to accompany the implementation of short-time working, namely:
The agreement takes into account Order no. 2020-323 of 25 March 2020 see FR-2020-13/491 , which allows for the terms and conditions for taking paid holidays to be adapted. In this context, ArianeGroup states that it has imposed, for employees whose activity has not resumed after the period of partial unemployment or is again suspended, the taking of paid holidays:
In any event, these arrangements must not prevent each employee from being entitled to a main leave of at least two consecutive weeks within the legal period for taking leave. In addition, employers must ensure that they encourage employees to take paid leave during the summer period in order to ensure that they have the right to take paid leave with their family, particularly when the employee is a family carer as defined in Article L. 3142-16 of the Labour Code.
The agreement applies to the whole employees of Ariane Group in France. The group employs 9,000 people in total in France and Germany. The breakdown is not available. Official sources estimate the number of employees in France from 2,000 to 4,999.

Social partners' role in the implementation, monitoring and assessment phase:
Social partners have negotiated the agreement, that was signed by management and three of the four representative trade unions CFE-CGC, CFDT and FO. The three trade unions represent 78% of the votes at the last workplace elections.
The three trade unions that have signed the agreement support the measures. The main trade union, CFE-CGC, regrets that Ariane Group does not participate enough financially. Nevertheless, the union appreciate the neutralisation at its expense of the negative consequences of the short-working time such as, for example, the amount of the annual bonuses, the retirement and asbestos severance payments, the complementary pension scheme AGIRC-ARRCO pension points, the supplementary pension, the variable financial participation.
The CFE-CGC welcomes that employees benefit from a short-time working compensation close to 100% of their net salary instead of the legal 84% in the absence of an agreement.

AKHA: Need for Anti-open Grazing Bill (1)
By Franklyn Isong
These pictures are a few reasons, I am in full support of Anti-Open Grazing of Cattles in Akwa Ibom State.
About 4:43pm today, Sunday, February 21, 2021, yours truly and other motorists along airport Road (Oron Road by Water Board, at Ifa Atai) had to wait for 30 minutes for these cows to cross the highway before we could drive through.
Cattle rearing is a business. Apart from other security reasons, the owners of cattles in Akwa Ibom State should be documented and made to put their cattles in ranches so that they can pay prescribed taxes to both local and state governments to boost the internally generated revenue of the State.
In 2016/7, the member representing Essien Udim State constituency, Mr. Nse Ntuen, and others had sponsored a Bill to make provision for Ranches for cattle/other animals. The Bill had also sought to outlaw open grazing of cattles and other animals in any part of Akwa Ibom State. I was an advocate of the Bill because I knew its benefits for the state. But that very important Bill did not see the light of the day due to bad politics and selfish interests of our politicians.
The state lawmakers killed the Bill after its first reading. There was no second reading and there was no public hearing conducted to hear what the public had to say about the Bill.
I have said this on other platforms including radio programmes which I featured as analyst, that a friend who was a former Commissioner of Police in the State had told me categorically while in Akwa Ibom State Police Command that majority of cows and cattles in Akwa Ibom State are owned by top politicians and government officials in the State. He further asserted that the security report at his disposal at that time, indicated that these Akwa Ibom indigenes who own these cattles normally employ the herdsmen to come and take care of their cattles.
The former security chief in the state warned that until the State government begins to treat cattle rearing as private businesses and make enabling laws to check the lawlessness of the herdsmen, they will continue to operate unchecked in the State.
Agreed, Akwa Ibom State might not be one of the crises-ridden States occasioned by the farmers/herders conflicts when compared with some States of the federation. But the State had experienced a few conflicts in some communities of Mkpat Enin, Ibiono Ibom, Etinan, Essien Udim, Uruan and Uyo local government areas caused by activities of herdsmen as a result of open grazing of cattles on farmlands in those mentioned areas.
Back to today’s scene, imagine the Governor’s convoy running into these cattles on the highway and the Governor is made to wait for 30 minutes or more for the cattles to clear from the highway before his convoy could drive through. How embarrassing this would have been for the State. This is sad.
We should not wait until any ugly scene forces the State to think in the direction of Anti-Open Grazing Law. The time to act is now because, even the northern and southern governors have thrown their weights behind Anti-Open Grazing.
What are we waiting for in Akwa Ibom State? I am yet to hear Governor Udom Emmanuel’s view on this burning but topical issue.
I should not be misconstrued. I am completely against the Ruga Settlement Policy of the Muhammadu Buhari administration, as it were. But, I am in full support of Anti-Open grazing law and I am in support of ranching owned and controlled by the State and local governments.
Ranching reserves will among others, curb criminality amongst criminal elements within the herdsmen and ensure proper regulation of herdsmen activities in Akwa Ibom State.
This piece should again serve as a wake up call for Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly (AKHA) and the Udom Emmanuel’s administration to enact a Law prohibiting open grazing of cattles in the State.

Announced in 2018, Dassault’s once highly anticipated Falcon 6X has faded into the background with the company’s announcement of even more ambitious projects. But as its release date draws closer, the Falcon 6X is back on the industry’s radar. The 6X remains on track for a full release in 2022, and Dassault is expected to put a fourth test plane in the air before the end of this year. There’s still much to do before the Falcon 6X is fully certified, but Dassault is committed to its timeline for its latest luxurious twinjet.
A big addition to the private aviation sector
The path to market for larger aircraft can take significantly longer than their light and medium airframe counterparts. This slow progression is even more pronounced in a behemoth craft like the Falcon 6X, which simultaneously falls into the large, long-range, and ultra-widebody categories. In fact, Dassault is on record claiming the Falcon 6X is in a new heavy jet category all its own.
Measuring 84.3 feet long and 24.5 feet tall, and boasting an impressive 85.1-foot wingspan, there’s no mistaking the tremendous size of this jet. And, at 77,460 pounds of maximum takeoff weight, it’s one that requires significant power to get up in the air. Speaking of which, the Falcon 6X can get off the ground with less than 3,000 feet of runway — truly an amazing achievement for a craft of its size.
The slow path to market
Nearing four years since its initial showcase, Dassault’s Falcon 6X has faced rigorous testing on its way to market. A jet of this size requires significant airtime, and Dassault is well-known for exacting standards in refining and perfecting its aircraft. Speaking at the NBAA-BACE conference in Las Vegas in October, Chairman and CEO Eric Trappier shed light on just how far the jet has come.
According to Trappier, the company has three Falcon 6X airframes flying and a fourth expected to begin logging hours before the close of 2021. Its current jets are flying two to three times a week, and have collectively logged more than 300 hours over more than 100 flights. And there’s still more to come. “There is still considerable test activity to be completed, as in any test campaign,” said Trappier. “But we can report at this point that we are achieving milestones at a pace that our test engineers are really happy with.”
On-track for a 2022 entry-into-service date
The fourth test jet from Dassault is a significant milestone on the Falcon 6X’s march to market. It will be the first production jet to leave the runway, and with its takeoff, Dassault begins the countdown to an anticipated 2022 entry-into-service date. Barring setbacks, this fourth test jet will be the one jet-setting around the globe on a world tour.
What’s left to finalize before the Falcon 6X makes its mark on customers? Its Pratt & Whitney Canada PW812D engines are in the final stages of certification. Dassault is also checking the final boxes on acoustic and thermal testing for the jet’s cabin and conducting final testing on cabin pressurization and airflow. As these finishing touches fall into place, the Falcon 6X looks more and more like the jet Dassault promised four years ago.
We’ve been musing about the “Future Falcon” from Dassault for the better part of two years. Ever since the Falcon 5X was cancelled in 2017 and reinvented as the Falcon 6X in 2020, there has been a “shadow jet” lurking within the subtext. Speculation has run high about what Dassault has kept under wraps.
Now, we know it’s a super-sophisticated luxury jet, meant to compete “at the very top of the pyramid,” according to aircraft consultant Rolland Vincent in an interview with Bloomberg. It’s an exciting prospect that we’ll soon learn more about, when it’s formally announced.
A jet to compete at the highest levels
As rumors surrounding the “Future Falcon” continue to swirl throughout the aviation industry, Dassault has been tight-lipped about their next entry in the corporate jet market. While Dassault executives have offered no concrete specifics regarding their new model, aviation insiders are starting to get a clearer picture of what to expect from this new ultra-luxury business jet. Once deliveries of the new aircraft begin in 2025, buyers can expect a jet that matches or exceeds rival models in size, speed, and range.
Gulfstream plans to deliver its latest entry in the luxury business jet market, the G700, in 2022. Expected to be the flagship of the brand, the new model will focus on corporate travel, to offer more speed, lower operating costs, and a more comfortable ride. Gulfstream has raised the bar for cabin innovation and customization — the new Dassault entry will take cues from the G700 and push the innovations further to stand out in the market.
Meanwhile, Bombardier has already distinguished itself as the industry leader when it comes to large, purpose-built business aircraft. The Global 7500 has redefined the business jet market, featuring the industry’s most advanced flight deck with enhanced and synthetic vision for increased situational awareness. On top of many safety innovations, the model boasts the longest range and the smoothest ride, making it a very attractive option for high-dollar customers looking for the ultimate in private travel luxury.
We won’t truly know what Dassault’s “Future Falcon” has to offer until the company officially unveils the new model. What’s certain is that aviation enthusiasts can expect revolutionary upgrades. Dassault has a very healthy $600M budget for R&D, expected to translate into never-before-seen innovations that will set the model apart from its rivals. The new entry won’t just be a better Falcon 6X — it’ll be a totally unique jet, expected to set the standard for the luxury business jet market.
When will wraps finally come off the “Future Falcon”? The company has repeatedly hinted at an introduction “sometime in the first half of 2021,” which means the clock is ticking on an unveiling. What’s the holdup? Reports claim that the company is pushing for a live, in-person event post-pandemic, to generate even stronger buzz behind its new jet. If that’s not possible, Dassault will take cues from virtual events, including its own highly successful Falcon 6X virtual event in late 2020.
In a world where the standard for luxury business jets is already high, Dassault is raising the bar. In December, the company rolled out the newest iteration of its popular Falcon class of jets, the 16-seat, long-range, ultrawide-body Falcon 6X. The jet borrows fighter jet technology to bring customers double-digit improvements in efficiency and performance, and improves on the Falcon’s already-impressive cabin to deliver sophistication that rachets up the luxury factor of the 6X.
A livestream announcement from Dassault
Due to pandemic concerns, the introduction of the Falcon 6X took place via YouTube on December 8, 2020. While not an in-person event, the unveiling was nonetheless accompanied by substantial fanfare and plenty of exceptional visuals. Audiences were treated to a thorough overview of the ultrawide-body craft’s design — including a history lesson from Dassault Chairman and CEO, Eric Trappier.
The event also profiled the pillars of development behind the Falcon 6X: efficiency, comfort, and safety. Midway through the event, the Falcon 6X itself is introduced, wheeled onto the floor by test pilots in all its glory. Conversation shifts to the jet’s best-in-class cabin, explained in detail by Senior Executive Vice President of Civil Aircraft at Dassault, Carlos Brana.
In addition to the largest cabin by height and width, Brana explains that, upon completion, it’ll also be “the classiest cabin in the world.” The livestream then commences a tour of the fuselage, showing the extravagant sophistication and luxury of the Falcon 6X.
The livestream continues with a virtual interview with the President of Pratt & Whitney Canada, Maria Della Posta, who discusses the tremendous innovations that have gone into making the Falcon 6X one of the most efficient craft to-date. Finally, Dassault’s presentation ends with a cockpit explanation of the state-of-the-art navigation system of the craft, inspired by its fighter jet counterparts. It’s a truly special craft, done justice by a truly inspiring virtual event.
Meet Dassault’s Falcon 6X
The Falcon 6X may be the newest iteration of the Dassault’s Falcon line of jets, but it’s in a class all its own. It features the widest cross sections of any aircraft designed specifically as a business jet, and feels as spacious as it looks. This enhanced design is made even bigger by 30 large windows, covering 5,000 square inches of visibility. The “ergonomic cocoon” of the craft’s cabin is already award-winning and is certain to embody the luxury and sophistication expected from Dassault.
Mach .90 capabilities, with max operating speed of 370 KIAS
Maximum certified altitude of 51,000 ft.
Takeoff/landing capabilities on runways of less than 3,000 ft.
There are several unseen improvements that make the Falcon 6X one of the most breathtaking jets ever designed. Continually-refreshed cabin air is exceptionally clean, while the auto-trim feature of its flight control system eliminates the need for in-flight efficiency adjustments by the pilot. Even the newly certified Pratt & Whitney Canada PW812D engines sported by the craft require less maintenance and offer improved efficiency.
An instant market-leader
In many cases, when a new jet enters the market, it quickly becomes the de facto benchmark to beat. While this is the case for the Falcon 6X, it’s also true that this craft has all the makings of an untouchable leader in the ultrawide-body business jet class. It’s simply hard to imagine a craft that’s better positioned to set the standard and maintain market leadership for the foreseeable future.

It was only a few years ago that Embraer was a minor player in the corporate jet industry with only a 3 percent share. It is making great strides recently in the business aviation industry having gained that number to nearly 20%. The company that is based in Brazil is taking the line of mid-size jets it manufactures in the Legacy 450 and 500 jets, the Phenom light jets and the Legacy 650 jets, Lineage 1000 jets to new levels that they hope will help them gain their goal of a 30% share of the business jet market.
Recently, the company opened a new final assembly facility in Melbourne, Florida, and the CEO of the company, Fred Curado indicated that he was very happy with the manufacturer’s position in the industry of business jets. In fact, he recently revealed that he hopes to expand further.
“I do see Embraer one day venturing into the ultra-long-range, large-cabin business jet segment,”he told AIN in an interview. He stated in that recorded interview, their line would compete “with the [Bombardier] Globals and the larger [Dassault] Falcons,” he said.
These are good signs of growth for the industry and it will be interesting to see if Embraer expands to the levels it seeks in the business aviation industry.
The Chinese business industry is continuing it meteoric rise and the numbers coming from China related to its business market can be staggering. This is good news for the likes of business jet sellers all over the world. The demand for business jets in the country are rising as fast as the business market itself. Recently in the world of business aviation it was announced that the trend continues. David Tang, the attorney and business aviation consultant for Minsheng Financial Leasing has announced the intention of the company to increase its fleet and its intent to purchase more jets for its fleet. At the end of the year in 2010, Minsheng Financial has placed orders of 17 business jets.
The jets that have been ordered include Gulfstream, Hawker Beechcraft, Cessna and Dassault Falcon. It is unclear what numbers are associated with each company however the company has already taken delivery of a Gulfstream 450. The company was formed under backing from a couple financial institutions in April 2008. The company is seeing its future rise and the needs for its business aircraft is increasing as well. This is indicative of the market in China and we will see many new companies formed and their needs for corporate jets rise throughout the coming years. My friends in China or those doing business with the country are all trying to keep up with demand. Business jet sellers and buyers might look to the country as a place to do further business.
This last week the business aviation industry gathered in Dubai at MEBA 2010 to hear all the latest in the middle east and from the jet manufacturers. Jet manufacturer from France, Dassault Falcon, imparted some good news at the gathering. Dassault reported to AIN,
“The Middle East business environment still remains challenging, but confidence levels appear to be rising,” said Dassault Falcon president and CEO John Rosanvallon. “Dassault has seen much greater demand over the last two quarters of the current financial year, with larger cabin jet sales and prices holding up better than smaller jets.”
The report goes on to states that there are about 60 Dassault Falcons based in the Middle East. The company sold 14 aircraft in the region in the last two years and has a backlog of 16 to be delivered to regional buyers by 2013 with the manufacturers delivery of its tenth this month in December.
It is also indicated that hours being flown by business jet operators in the Middle East has been increasing, while the client base is evolving beyond a small group of users to include “corporate heads, entrepreneurs and other business leaders”. Other areas of the world that are also showing signs of increasing in the business aviation industry include; India, South America and Asia.
Don’t get too excited about a quick recovery as the recovery is not set for another year according to Honeywell, the avionics, equipment and engine manufacturer. The report that Honeywell is reporting on indicates that there should be one more year of an economic slide in store for the business aviation industry in 2011, with the rebound recovery and growth occurring in 2012. Rob Wilson the President for Business and General Aviation for Honeywell states:
“I think the downturn in 2009 demonstrated for all of us that nothing is really firm in an economic calamity as we saw, but that said, we are seeing a lot less volatility in that order book, a lot more stability and more of a sense of continuity.”
The report indicates that Honeywell predicts deliveries of between 675 and 700 new business jets for this year in 2010 which happens to the the lowest total since 2004. They predict that in 2011 another year of less than 700 deliveries will be the case.
AIN reported on some of the numbers of the report:
Based on the results of the survey, Honeywell sees a slow but steady change in aircraft category demand over the next five years. Through 2015, medium to large aircraft such as the Bombardier Challenger 605, Dassault Falcon 7X, Cessna’s Citation X and Embraer’s growing Legacy family will account for 32 percent of the projected purchases, while light and medium business jets including new designs like Bombardier’s Learjet 85, the Gulfstream G250, Embraer’s Phenom 300 and Cessna’s CJ4 will make up approximately 22 percent. Long-range and ultra-long range aircraft such as the new Gulfstream G650 and Bombardier’s Global family will garner 21 percent. Those longer-range aircraft will constitute nearly 50 percent of the delivery dollar value over that same period. Very light jets will constitute the remaining 25 percent of demand but equate to only five percent of the retail shipment value. While the personal jet segment is not a part of the survey, the forecast calls for deliveries over the next 10 years of 500 to 1,000 of the aircraft such as the still-developing PiperJet and the slowly developing Cirrus Vision.
The report from Honeywell in the past has not been the most accurate and in fact that have missed the numbers considerably over the last few years, but this is some good news forecast for our industry.
I wanted to highlight the fact that we take for granted the “no frills” flights of commercial airlines and many people only dream of being able to have the best possible experience with first class flights, if they can afford what that ticket will cost them. I get a chance to see first hand some of the interiors of corporate jets and they are far above anything that even first class commercial flights can provide. I was reading recently at AirlineTrends.com that Virgin America is stepping up its game with in flight entertainment or “IFE”. The article states:
Virgin America has upgraded its ‘Red’ in-flight entertainment system with a number of innovative features, including the first ever seatback digital shopping platform, an open tab service, and Google Maps with terrain view. Already on Virgin America, passengers can use the IFE system to watch live satellite television, chat with other passengers, play 3D games such as Doom, and offset carbon emissions for their flight. Passengers can also purchase snacks, meals, and alcoholic beverages from their seats via Red. Flight attendants receive the orders via a tablet PC and bring the ordered items to the seat.
I love that commercial airlines are trying to make the experience of flying that much better for those that don’t have the use of their corporate private jets. I wonder when we will have headsets with a virtual screen where we can wear a helmet and get the feel of flying in a Gulstream or a or that Dassault Falcon while sitting in the back of the plane listening to soft music while the child behinds us screams because their ears hurt. Until that time, I will let companies like Virgin America try to keep up with the world of luxury flights.
There is a how to for just about every single industry out there. That is no different than a simple “How To Buy A Personal Jet“. One of the things that stood out to me was the basics of the “how to” section. For instance it seems pretty simple to pick out the jet you need. All you need to do is find out how many passengers will be using the jet and how far you will be traveling.:
Determine the size and flying range you’ll need. Light jets ($3 million to $8 million) can take 5 to 8 passengers roughly 2,000 miles (3,219 km); midsize executive jets ($9 million to $16 million) can take up to 9 passengers from 2,000 to 3,000 miles (3,219 to 4,828 km); and large executive jets ($17 million to $45 million) can carry 12 passengers more than 4,000 miles (6,437 km). The more popular makers and models are: Learjet, Boeing Business Jet, Cessna, Gulfstream and Dassault Falcon.
Of course there are many more variables to take into consideration when purchasing a corporate jet and we will intend to discuss some of those things here, but I like when they boil things down to the very basic levels. If you are in the market for a corporate jet, a personal use jet or are looking for more information, contact us. We can also make this a simple process, but the most simple we can make it is to allow us to handle your purchase.

My Log Book Of The Girl Guide Movement 1910-48 (written in 1962)
2010-12 is the celebration of 100 years of Girl Guiding in the UK. In 1962 I, a young teenager and enthusiastic Girl Guide, made a Log Book of the Movement which drew heavily on The Guider magazine which came regularly through our letterbox, and also more personally includes photographs of my mother, Peggy, as a Girl Guide in the 1930s. The log covers the period from when the Girl Guides first formed until the year of my birth. Here in all its unedited school exercise book glory it is…
Today is International Women’s Day, as good a date as any to revisit the girls-only organisation, The Guides, which was a significant part of my earlier teen years in the 1960s – and which now celebrates its centenary as a world-wide organisation.
I recently came upon a logbook I compiled in 1962 which, re-reading it now, triggers a range of thoughts and emotions about what, particularly for girls and women, is past, and what promise for our futures demands of the present:
Times change, and no doubt so have The Guides, but this record, spanning the third century before my arrival, still I think has resonance in its emphasis on friendship and loyalty, international connectivity, ‘useful skills’ (all those triangular bandages…) and active, sometimes to my mind even too sporty and wet-tent-ish, pursuits.
In retrospect the automatic focus on royalty feels less natural than it did, and I would no longer enjoy the quasi-military organisational aspects. But in other ways Guiding did us proud. Here was an opportunity to learn about constructive volunteering and for girls to be themselves, away from the predominance in other things of the boys.
Later I went on to be a ‘Lady Cub Master’, following in the footsteps of my mother, who became in my little brother’s term a ‘Brown Cow’ (we lived nearby a farm; but no Owls in sight…), thereby acquiring in nascent form about leadership and inter-personal and organisational skills.
Perhaps the ways in which as Guides we were encouraged to fill our time, learning about self-reliance, albeit tinged with a heavy dose of acquiescence to authority and class hierarchy, have an enduring quality. I am sure that’s what the Girl Guides of today, with their increasing membership, would say as well.
Is there still a place for girls-only organisations? (I’d say there is, though what they need to offer can be debated.) How does Guiding fit in our world, a century after it began?
And how was it for you? Were you (or, even, are you) involved in the Guiding movement? Maybe you too have experiences, views or reminiscences to share? I’d love to know….

Micah Owings was once one of the best-hitting pitchers in all of baseball. He was so good at hitting that he decided a year ago to become a full-time first baseman. After a year in the minors in which he hit .252/.296/.444 with nine homers and 34 RBI in 82 games, he has decided to switch back, reports Chris Cotillo.
He’s currently unsigned and is looking for a minor league deal. Owings, who is 31 years-old, is 32-33 with a 4.86 ERA and 347 strikeouts and 208 walks in 483 major league innings, with the Diamondbacks, Reds and Padres.

How India is taking steps to make its cities safer for women
As the digital economy flourishes, technology companies from start-ups to established heavyweights are clustering in key locations.
As violence against women in India continues to make headlines, lawmakers and local developers are responding to pressures for better city infrastructure.
The country’s rapid, often unplanned urbanization has put heavy pressure on many of its cities to house and transport millions of inhabitants. Overcrowded public transport and unlit night-time streets are high-risk areas for crimes against women, with 80 percent reporting harassment in public spaces.
“Deficient infrastructure and poor planning have added to the challenges around women’s safety,” says A Shankar, National Director, Strategic Consulting, JLL India.
With many cities lacking in the infrastructure and policy to prevent or detect such crimes, a wave of urban regeneration programs are starting the process of creating safer public spaces.
Smart, safer cities
Notorious for high rates of sexual assault in its vast urban sprawl, Delhi is in the midst of a women’s safety initiative that includes improving street lighting, installing surveillance cameras on public transport and at stations, and introducing all-female police forces.
City authorities in Pune, Delhi and Mumbai are investing in solutions such as women-only buses and auto-rickshaws and government safety apps.
“Transport connectivity is a key problem for safety, especially over the ‘last-mile’ from a station back home,” says Trivita Roy, Associate Director of Research, JLL India. “There are CCTV camera systems in many cities but it hasn’t always been properly monitored, so offenders are not afraid of being caught.”
Now, many cities, including Delhi, are rolling out GPS tracking for auto-rickshaws and identity verification for their drivers, and in Jaipur, a new surveillance system streams live video to law enforcement, with records are kept for a month. “Once criminal begin to realize they can be traced and to have fear of the law, problems can come under control,” Roy says.
Small town planning
While India’s economic hubs are facing the most pressure to improve women’s safety, its smaller cities are starting to address the issue.
Launched in 2015, the government-led Smart Cities is an urban renewal initiative to improve the technological and living standards of over 100 of India’s mid-sized cities, which are often located in the outskirts of the country’s busiest metropolises.
“The smart city developments target safety and security,” says Shankar. Proposed reforms include women-only prepaid car services, smartphone apps that rate the safety of surroundings and connect to police, as well as an overhaul of street lighting and surveillance systems.
Upcoming townships have been built from the ground-up to be smart and connected. Wave City is a 4500-acre township with a central command center, constant CCTV surveillance and fiber optic internet.
“In these planned townships, developers are building properties around the metro stations to reduce the problem of last-mile connectivity,” Shankar says. “Many of the developments are driven by buyer demand – people want to be in walking distance of their home, their office, shops, restaurants, transport infrastructure.”
Such mixed-used communities, with proximity to workplaces, shopping and schools, can help working women – who are also often caregivers and homemakers – feel more comfortable travelling alone.
“Cities are bucking up and within the next five, ten years, they will see the advancement in infrastructure needed – last-mile connectivity, street lighting, GPS tracking, CCTV, and more transparent legal and policing systems,” Roy says.
Awareness for the next generation
While cities embark on the process of redesigning public spaces to reduce the opportunity for violence and harassment, ingrained cultural attitudes are shifting more slowly.
In Delhi, crimes against women are still increasing – with low conviction rates – while the high-profile New Year’s Eve mass molestation in Bangalore took place in an area that checked off on public safety – it was active, well-lit, covered with CCTV, and patrolled by 1500 police officers.
“The problem is, India is a patriarchal society,” Roy says. “People are not aware of their wrongdoing and even policemen may not understand the gravity of the crime. The entire social framework means that many women don’t report assault and if they do, it is not followed up upon.”
Cities including those part of the Smart Cities program are introducing women’s safety training for police officers and values education for schoolchildren. “Maybe next generation, these values will come into play,” Roy says.
As India’s cities become of increasing interest to overseas corporations and global industries, women’s safety may become an economic as well as social issue.
“India’s cities are competing against each other for foreign investment,” Shankar says. “As a country, India would not lose foreign investment, but a city seen to be lagging on the issue of women’s safety would become less desirable for a corporate base.”
Cities of the throes of a safety overhaul could look to Chennai for hope: In 2000, the capital of Tamil Nadu had India’s highest crime rate against women, and last year it was named the safest city in India.
“When these changes in the law and public planning come together, cities will see a lot of changes in infrastructure focused on women’s safety,” Roy concludes. “But it will take time.”

Last week I went to visit the Sankofa Exhibition at the Hackney Museum.
Sankofa is an Akan word which literally translates to “go back and get it”, and symbolises the importance of learning from the past. The aptly named exhibition is all about the origins of Black History Month in the UK, and the monumental campaigns, protests and events that characterise the history of Black British people. It also exhibits various aspects of popular culture, like music, hair styles and photos from Notting Hill Carnival.
For me, it was definitely eye opening. Whilst you may hear names like Martin Luther King, Marcus Garvey and Malcom X around schools in the UK, the heroes of Black history in Britain are largely neglected.
I definitely recommend the exhibition to anyone who wants an introduction to Black British History.
Check out some pictures below… (Disclaimer: my dad took a lot of them so forgive the over exposure and other imperfections!)

Emmerdale star Rik Makarem has promised comedy couple Nikhil Sharma and Gennie Walker will definitely have a happy ending.
Nikhil is set to dump Gennie because she is acting strangely and he thinks she is about to get in and end the relationship first, unaware that she is actually pregnant with his baby.
But despite happy endings being so rare in soaps, Rik told this week’s Inside Soap magazine: “I think there will definitely be a happy ending to this story – but it won’t be an easy road there!”
The actor revealed that once Nikhil finds out Gennie is pregnant, he proposes to her, but she is so furious at being dumped, she says no.
He said: “Nikhil is very methodical and believes that babies and marriage go hand in hand.
“He’s finally got the chance to have everything perfect. But when Gennie discovers he knows, she thinks he only wants to marry her because she’s pregnant, and refuses! He’s shot himself in the foot.”
But Rik revealed there is light at the end of the tunnel.
He said: “When Gennie finally says yes to him, the floodgates open. It’s a truly beautiful moment.”

Next generation ground motion prediction models use shear-wave velocity over the top 30 m of subsoil (VS30) as an important assessment parameter of seismic ground surface motion. VS30 can be measured using invasive methods, such as boreholes, or non-invasive methods, such as multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW). To evaluate this technique in a variety of near-surface conditions, MASW-derived shear-wave velocity profiles (s-wave velocity vs. depth) were statistically compared to direct borehole measurements from three locations of Merapi sediment found on the Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY) campus site. A detailed study of the effect from the total number of recording channels of MASW, sampling intervals, source offset, and receiver spacing was conducted near the borehole test site. The soil was classified as a medium soil or SD. The MASW method, which is non-destructive and non-invasive in nature and relatively faster in assessment, provides more reliable shear-wave velocity profiles, i.e. from 0 to 30 meters below the ground surface.

PHOENIX — A suspect has been taken into custody after a barricade situation at a business near 75th Avenue and Buckeye Road Monday morning.
Video from the scene showed nearly a dozen police vehicles surrounding Kem Krest, an auto accessory wholesaler headquartered in the Midwest.
Two of the patrol cars were parked against the building, and crime tape and a K9 were at the scene.
Police say they were dispatched to the area after someone reported a stabbing inside the business.
Witnesses reportedly told police the man responsible for the stabbing was still in the business and police evacuated the building.
Police say the victim was stabbed and sliced multiple times and has been taken to a hospital for treatment.
After several hours the suspect was removed from the building and taken into custody.
Officials identified the suspect as 28-year-old Kendis Randles, who police say was an employee of the victim.
The man who was stabbed multiple times is expected to survive but will require additional surgeries, according to police.
A motive for the stabbing remains under investigation.
BARRICADED SUSPECT: We are at Kem Krest (according to people who work inside). One worker told me he was in the back and heard a commotion and then a scream. Police say one man was stabbed inside the business. We’re told the suspect is still inside now. @abc15 pic.twitter.com/4HcOnuTmZn
“I just heard like tables moving and somebody screaming in the background,” said Kem Krest employee Ralph Rocha.
Rocha told ABC15 he had just started his shift around 7:45 a.m. when he heard those screams.
“By the time I was up there they had already isolated him in the office,” said Rocha.
He said he and the other employees inside were told to leave.
Rocha told ABC15 that the victim was his manager, and the suspect was a man he knew as a fellow employee. He described the suspect as typically quiet.
Rocha said he saw his manager outside the building.
“I saw him out from he was bleeding pretty bad, but we don’t know the extent of his injuries,” said Rocha.
Police told ABC15 that the men had some type of confrontation before the stabbing occurred.
After the stabbing, an hours-long stand-off brought out police, SWAT, and members of the Crisis Intervention Team.
“He said he didn’t want to come out alive,” said a police spokesperson.
Police said less-lethal force was used and eventually the suspect was led out in handcuffs.
Kem Krest executive leadership was reportedly on the way to the Valley to provide more support following the incident.

SEATTLE — Philadelphia Eagles coaches must get NFL rushing leader LeSean McCoy more involved for the team to have any chance to make the postseason, starting Thursday night against the Seattle Seahawks.
McCoy carried the ball just 10 times against the New England Patriots, who scored 31 points in about 20 minutes and forced the Eagles to pass. But there were earlier opportunities to use McCoy when the game was within reach—the Eagles actually led by 10.
However, coach Andy Reid and his staff, as coaches frequently do, instead tried to force the issue by passing. And they tried to do so without Pro Bowl quarterback Michael Vick and wide receiver Jeremy Maclin.
A second-and-3 pass play in the first quarter resulted in Vince Young getting sacked for a seven-yard loss. In the second quarter, McCoy got the ball on second-and-1 and ripped off a 22-yard run.
McCoy hasn’t complained about his sporadic role but it seemed to cause friction between offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg and defensive line coach Jim Washburn, who had to be separated on the sideline during the game.
The team denied play-calling was behind the clash of coaches. Still, several players have privately questioned some play calls and why McCoy doesn’t get more opportunities.
Reid built his team around dynamic offensive weapons in the passing game, but with Vick and Maclin sidelined for the third consecutive game, McCoy is the team’s best playmaker.
Notes: Defensive end Trent Cole just doesn’t have the same burst to the quarterback that’s made him one of the league’s best pass rushers. Cole missed two games in October with a major calf strain and wasn’t 100 percent when he got back onto the field. He has two sacks in four games since coming back and just five in nine games.
Washburn’s wide-nine scheme and the addition of Pro Bowl defensive end Jason Babin were supposed to capitalize on Cole’s strengths and take attention away from him, but Cole hasn’t kicked into an extra gear. The injury is likely responsible.

Woman charged with driving drunk with 11 children misses court
An arrest warrant was issued Tuesday for a woman charged in a drunken driving crash that injured five of 11 children who were riding with her.
Akira Kirk, 32, faces three felonies and two misdemeanors from the June crash on Interstate 43. She hit a barrier, rolling the vehicle. According to police, her blood alcohol content was .16, twice the legal limit.
A final pre-trail hearing in her case was scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, but Kirk failed to appear. Circuit Judge Dennis Cimpl reset the hearing for 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, but also issued a bench warrant for Kirk's arrest that would take effect if she misses Wednesday's court date.

On Wednesday, Hockey Canada announced its roster for the 2020 National U-17 Summer Development Camp, held virtually from July 19-25, inclusive. Of the 113 teenagers that received invites, six were from Manitoba, while another four have ties to the province’s Western Hockey League teams.
These potential roster candidates will compete for a spot on one of the three Canadian clubs participating in the 2020 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge from Charlottetown and Summerside PEI during the timeframe of October 31 to November 7 this coming fall.
64 forwards, 37 defencemen and 12 goaltenders were selected, and will be split into six different ‘teams’ for the week of sessions, online education and virtual training from a host of high-caliber Hockey Canada coaching staff members. Kelly Buchberger, Stephane Julien and Chris Lazary will be the coaches of Team Canada White, Black and Red, respectively.
“The National U-17 Development Camp is the first stage in introducing these athletes to the Program of Excellence,” said Hockey Canada Senior Vice President of National Teams, Scott Salmond in a press release. “It is a great opportunity for them to develop as players and learn what it takes to wear the Maple Leaf. Our three under-17 teams are very fortunate to have these nine experienced coaches, and we know our coaching and support staffs will embrace the opportunity to guide the development of the top young players in Canada.”
From Manitoba, Ethan Buenaventura (Winnipeg), Reid Dyck (Winkler), Matthew Kieper (Winnipeg), Denton Mateychuk (Dominion City), Conor Geekie (Strathclair) and Tyson Zimmer (Russell) were chosen. Winnipeg ICE draft picks Matt Savoie and Rieger Lorenz, as well as Brandon Wheat Kings selections Nate Danielson and Rylen Roersma also got the call.
In breaking down the selected talent geographically, just over 50 percent of the summer camp participants come from Ontario (47) and Quebec (18), before a significant drop-off in numbers occurs thereafter. British Columbia had 13 representatives selected, while the Maritimes had 12. Alberta saw 10 invitees chosen, while Saskatchewan had six.
Ethan Beunaventura – Goaltender, 6-foot-1, 171 pounds, Rink Hockey Academy
Reid Dyck – Goaltender, 6-foot-4, 185 pounds, Pembina Valley Hawks

Neo-soul icon Lauryn Hill is playing her classic (and only) album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill in full for its 20th anniversary on tour later this year, but first, she played a one-off at Harlem's historic Apollo Theatre last night (5/1). Like at a usual Lauryn Hill show, she played about half of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, plus some Fugees songs. Making this show extra special, when she played "Ex-Factor," she incorporated part of the new Drake single "Nice For What," which samples "Ex-Factor." "See this is ‘Ex-Factor’/He took the sample/My shit is classic/Here’s an example," she rapped. Watch below (via The FADER).
"Ex-Factor" was also recently sampled for "Be Careful" by Cardi B (who became the first female rapper to top the Billboard Hot 100 since... Lauryn Hill).
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill tour hits the NYC-area for shows at Northwell Health at Jones Beach on July 15, and PNC Bank Arts Center on August 8 (tickets).

Mobile devices, cloud computing and global business partnerships enabled by the Internet and other network services have redrawn the map of the global flow of personal information.
Technology will continue to drive simple services built on these complex systems, pushing the balance between using and protecting personal data “to the breaking point,” according to Richard Purcell, President of The Privacy Projects (TPP), a non-profit research institute that launches today.
The Privacy Projects (www.theprivacyprojects.org) intends to fund academic research into “evidence-based” privacy to enhance policies, practices and tools necessary to meet the power of the new technologies. “We intend to support advances in the ways companies collect, store, use, share and manage customer information,” said Purcell. “We encourage the digital human represented by the data to be more respected and better protected.”
The new group’s first research paper, written by UC Berkeley Professor Paul M. Schwartz, focuses on how six global corporations control cross-border data flows to meet customer needs while complying with multiple, local regulation. TPP will present the paper at the upcoming workshop of the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development in Paris. Additional research — four or five are planned each year, according to Purcell — will expand on the ways in which data policies, practices, and technology tools can evolve to meet the current needs of all players.

Optimization of a 4D-PTV metrology for the characterization of a turbulent flow at very small scales.
The fundamental study of turbulence is of significant importance due to its dominant role in many fields of physics, engineering sciences, astrophysics, aeronautics, etc. Turbulent dissipation plays a central role in turbulent flow and is therefore an important quantity in turbulence models. With the aim of characterizing this dissipation, the present work is based on a particle tracking technique called “Shake-The Box” to measure three-dimensional velocity fields as function of time at a resolution which can approach dissipative scale. The experimental setup and processing of the Shake the Box technique have been optimized and pushed to their limits in order to improve the spatial resolution and the accuracy of the measured Lagrangian trajectories. The approach used in this thesis was based not only on experimental data but also on synthetic PIV images based on direct numerical simulation of the Navier Stokes equations. The quantitative and qualitative investigation allows us to define the optimal parameters for our targeted application on a Giant Von Karman flow and gives the limits of the method.


The Construction Sector Group was established following the launch of Project Ireland 2040, and its role is to ensure regular and open dialogue between Government and the construction sector on how best to achieve and maintain a sustainable and innovative construction sector positioned to successfully deliver on the commitments in Project Ireland 2040. A Sustainability and Climate Action Consultation Group has been set up under Action 2: Explore and Mobilise Construction Innovation Funding, with representation from the RIAI.
The CSG Innovation & Digital Adoption’s Sustainability Consultation Group have produced a report on initial research and innovation required to deliver on Housing for All, The National Development Plan and the Climate Action Plan. Under Action 2 of the 7 priority actions dealt with by the Innovation & Digital Adoption Group, the group is now seeking to speak with interested innovation and research partners for the various proposals to provide support in applying for suitable funding.
The CSG Innovation &The proposals are divided according to the four themes outlined in the stakeholder survey. However, it should be noted that many of the proposals could, and should, stretch across themes to ensure a holistic approach to sustainability is considered when planning and constructing our future built environment.


Actress returns money for PKS events to KPK
The Jakarta Post
The Jakarta Post
Actress Khadijah Azhari, popularly known as Ayu Azhari, returned money she received from graft suspect Ahmad Fathanah, a close aid to former Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) chairman Luthfi Hasan Ishaaq, to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) on Friday.
The money, US$1,800 and Rp 20 million, was paid by Ahmad to Ayu as a down payment for performances planned for PKS events, KPK spokesperson Johan Budi said on Friday at a press conference at the KPK headquarters in Kuningan, South Jakarta.
Ayu, who arrived at the KPK accompanied by lawyer Fahmi Bachmid, said that she was only there to submit copies of her bank statements.
When asked whether she had received money from Ahmad, she vehemently denied it saying "I never accepted a single penny."
Ayu denied rumors that Fathanah had bought her an apartment.
"What apartment? The one where I live? I've lived there since 1997. It has nothing to do with Fathanah," she said.
Throughout the interview, she apparently gave statements that contradicted previous ones. When asked how Ahmad got her number, Ayu said that she gave it when she met him at Plaza Indonesia.
Previously, she said she met Ahmad first at Plaza Indonesia, only to later say that it was Plaza Senayan. She also said that she only met Ahmad once, while previously claiming she met him several times.

White Father Accused Of Throwing Baby Daughter In Dryer, Turning It On
A New Hampshire white father has been charged after he threw his infant daughter in a clothes dryer and turned it on.
Michael Higgins, 34, was arrested at his home in Manchester on Sunday and charged with endangering the welfare of a child, according to police.
Authorities had been called to the home for a domestic violence incident between the diabolical white father and the child’s mother.
Police said the brute and the woman were arguing but could not find signs of a physical altercation.
The woman told police that the pale psychopath had thrown their daughter into the dryer before turning it on last Wednesday.
“The mother was able to quickly intervene and the baby was removed from the dryer,” police said in a statement.
The child did not appear to have suffered any injuries, according to police.
In addition to endangering a child, the white savage is facing charges of reckless conduct and criminal threatening.
