No 40 Squadron of the Belgian Air Force played host to the 2016 edition of the International SAR Meet at Koksijde Air Base. The meet brings together various Search and Rescue helicopter units from across Europe for a competitive exercise testing various skills required by SAR crews. On the second day of the Exercise, 40 Squadron kindly opened the gates of Koksijde for a Spottersday allowing 400 enthusiasts a special chance to photograph the participating aircraft.
Paul Johnson/Flightline UK reports. All photography by the author.
2016 is a special year for the Belgian Air Force which is celebrating its 70th Anniversary. However, the Air Force is celebrating other important milestones this year and 2016 also marks 45 Years of service for the Sud-Aviation SA316B Alouette III plus 40 years of Westland Sea King operations. Both types are operated from Koksijde Air Base by 40 Squadron. It was therefore fitting that the unit held the latest edition of the International SAR Meet.
Search and Rescue units are not often seen at public events as they are almost constantly on duty. Therefore, the addition of a Spottersday was of great interest to enthusiasts as it was a rare chance to get close to some rare helicopters.
The initial list of participating nations and helicopters was very impressive with the likes of France, Portugal, Norway, Latvia and the Netherlands all intended to be part of the Meet. Sadly for the host unit, organisers and enthusiasts a flurry of cancellations just left helicopters from Belgium, Austria, Germany and Poland planning to attend the event. The Polish did send a Mil Mi-8 Hip to the event but it was called back while transiting through Germany.
The exercise did not just involve flying for the crews. Survival and winching exercises took place at Koksijde’s beachfront swimming pool plus there were more light-hearted elements for the crews including a Highland Games competition and an International Evening allowing crews to experience the different cultures and cuisines of the participating nations.
The Spottersday was held on the southern side of the massive Koksijde Air Base providing near perfect photographic conditions for the gathering of enthusiasts. It is important at this stage to stress that the event was not an airshow or public event by any means and there were really only very basic facilities. However, the Belgian Air Force organisers did make it as special day as possible for the visitors. For the very reasonable admission charge of €20 not only did visitors gain access to the event, but were also greeted by a goody bag with a commemorative T-shirt, SAR Meet Patchs, Challenge Coin plus stickers highlighting not only SAR Meet but also the Sea King and Alouette anniversaries.
At the centre of the Spotter’s area was one of the Belgian Air Force’s Westland Sea King Mk48s, RS03, wearing specially painted panels celebrating 40 years of service and also over 2000 lives saved by the unit. Belgium’s Sea Kings will remain in service until 2018 so are in the twilight of their operational career.
Behind the Sea King was the only ‘civilian’ participant, the Belgian Police Service’s MD Helicopters MD900 Explorer. Though it was not a formal part of the SAR Meet Exercise, the MD900 crew did perform two Search and Rescue demonstration around the Spotters Area. As this was not a formal public airshow, the crew were able to perform very close in to the spectators giving some very dramatic views as the crews performed winching operations and fast passes.
The Spottersday coincided with the first major flying task of the SAR Meet exercises. This was a navigation task which saw all the participants fly out of the base at regular intervals flying through various waypoints before returning to base at set times. All of the aircraft started from a point just in front of the enclosure. Prior to departure all of the participants posed their aircraft at various angles for photographs against the backdrop of the town of Koksijde.
First to go was part of the home team, the Sud-Aviation SA316B Alouette III. These aircraft have served with the Belgian Navy and COMOPSAIR for 45 years operating off Belgian Navy Frigates. Now they are part of 40 Squadron’s Marine flight. Recently they have been used in Belgian Anti-Piracy and Anti-Narcotic operations but can also perform some Search and Rescue duties.
First of the visiting helicopters to fly during the afternoon was the Westland Sea King Mk41 of the German Navy. This aircraft came from Marinefliegergeschwader 5 based at Nordholz who be the hosts of the next SAR Meet. German Sea Kings are used on a variety of missions including maritime reconnaissance, tactical transport, disaster relief and Search and Rescue. On return to Koksijde, the crew made some very welcome further flypasts for the photographers as well as a very nice bow before returning to the SAR Meet apron.
The second and last visiting aircraft was another Sud-Aviation SA316B Alouette III, this time from the Austrian Air Force. Operated by the Luftstreitkräfte, the Alouette III is used for a variety of civil contingency tasks such as Alpine rescue and firefighting within Austria. They are also deployed for Search and Rescue tasks in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The Alouette III entered services with the Bundesheer in 1967 and next next will celebrate 50 years of the service in Austrian hands. The example participating at SAR Meet wore some stunning special markings combining an eagle with the Austrian national colours making it perhaps the favourite participant for the photographers.
The final two aircraft to appear were from the home team. First to go was the NH Industries NH90NFH. The Belgian Air Force operates a small mix force of NH90s. The NFH variant (NATO Frigate Helicopter) is optimised for maritime operations and will eventually take-over all of 40 Squadrons tasks. Also in Belgian Air Force service is the TTH (or Tactical Transport Helicopter) which is based at Beauvechain Air Base alongside the Agusta A109BAs. The final helicopter to depart on the Navigation task was the Westland Sea King Mk48. The aircraft was RS05 which wears some very patriotic special markings which were applied to celebrate 25 years of Sea King operations! On their return to Koksijde, both the NH90NFH and Sea King Mk48 performed search and rescue role demonstrations for the audience in the enclosure which ensured a very fitting finale to the day.
The various cancellations were frustrating and disappointing for both organisers and enthusiasts alike. However, the brilliant autumnal sunshine, great organisation and friendliness of the welcome to Koksijde plus some dramatic flying ensured it was a very enjoyable and worthwhile day for all the attendees.

The Cody Sisters Band blends old time, swing, Gypsy jazz, jazz, folk, and modern bluegrass together with soft sister harmonies that remind us of a simpler, slower time.
Megan Cody’s entire life has been spent with a guitar or a mandolin in her hand and a microphone at her lips. Her guitar playing took first place in the 2016 New Mexico Flatpicking competition and has drawn the attention of many, including Flatpicking Guitar Magazine. People often compare her to a young Courtney Hartman or Molly Tuttle. You’ll fall in love with her wit and music.
Maddie Cody’s favorite place is curled up on the couch with a pencil and a pad of paper to record her lyrics, poetry, and stories. At a very young age, she found that she could add color and flavor to her art by putting them to song with the soft roll of a banjo, the rich tone of a guitar, or the fast melodic beat of the mandolin. She’ll tell you that she can’t remember when she couldn’t play an instrument, and her lightning-fast fingers prove it. Crowds are wooed by her sweet innocence and fresh take on life and music.
Throughout his life, Steve Cody has played piano, guitar, mandolin, banjo, bagpipes, penny whistle, and upright bass fiddle. When the Cody Sisters’ music blossomed, it was only natural that he would focus on the upright for the rest of this life. “Really, all I wanted to do was play music with my kids after dinner or on the weekends. I got lucky in a way that I couldn’t imagine.”
Our opening acts are the "Ozark Jazz" ensemble Izabel Crane and guitarist/singer Paul McCann.
Baked goods, coffee, tea, and water available for purchase.

Found it when searching for Letraset to see if I could find any colour strips for the Color Tag system, which I still have!! I was at university at the time and I have to admit I mostly used the catalogue as a source book for drawing my own fonts in pen and ink — badly, no doubt, as I am not a natural artist.
Thanks for keeping up with my blog — never knew so many people had the same memories! Thanks for the delightful trip down memory lane!
January 30, by squirrelbasket. And now that I have recalled those retro space-age fonts, I seem to be noticing them everywhere on the livery of the vans of small businesses…. It is a lovely font, rather gothic, or am I meaning faerie?
It was the s. Then place the backing paper over the lettering and burnish moderately letrazet for firm adhesion with a smooth instrument, such as the cap of a ballpoint pen. I work as a teaching assistant in lletraset junior school and I still use the catalogue as reference for different typefaces when making headings for displays etc.

Letraset dry transfer lettering in For designers, graphic artists, draughtsmen, typographers, lftraset fact anyone connected with graphic art, the name Letraset is synonymous with high quality graphic art materials.
But back cataloyue the Letraset. It has three pages of short embedded font samples the font names, mostly and 50 pages of full font samples all as outlines. I have now looked in my old Letraset catalogue and there it is — Fino. Where did we ever find the time to apply headlines to artwork letter by letter, rubbed from the back of a transparent plastic sheet?
Just to be safe. Would love to be able to type with it! Press the letter on to the art surface with your finger and then shade lightly over letrzset whole letter with a ballpoint pen, soft pencil or other blunt instrument.

The little bits of bromide stuck to his fingertips but he got there in the end and put a piece of Sellotape over it to hold it in place. Letraset has also continued to produce marker pens for artwork — in they emphasised their use of the Pantone colour matching catalgue.

Amazing Pillars of Creation by James Webb!
Giant cloud coils. This coil of hydrogen gas-dust stands like a pillar. It has a golden-brown color and the twinkling of millions of stars. The cosmic coil is called Pillars of Creation. This pillar was created 6 and a half billion years ago.
This picture of the Pillars of Creation was taken by James Webb, the world's most modern and powerful telescope. The telescope was launched from Earth in December last year. This amazing telescope is bringing out the past mysteries of the infinite universe one by one.
NASA released this photo of James Webb on Wednesday.
According to NASA, the Pillars of Creation are located in the M-16 region of space, in the center of the Eagle Nebula. This nebula is also known as 'Eagle Nebula'. The nebula is located 6,500 light years away from Earth. That is, if a vehicle leaves the earth at the speed of light, it will take 6,500 years to reach it.
According to NASA, the 'Pillars of Creation' are a type of condensed cloud made of hydrogen and dust. But they are not temporary like the clouds of the earth. Each star is formed from this condensed cloud. This process takes billions of years. Numerous planets and satellites are born from stars. They also cool gradually. That is why it can be said that these Pillars of Creation are the original and primary state of the stars.
In this regard, European Space Research Organization senior advisor Professor Mark McCoren said, we have been researching the 'Eagle Nebula' since the 1990s. Trying to see these pillars to find newly formed stars. Finally James Webb showed it.
He said, I knew the pictures taken by James Webb would be put on the shelves; It happened. We can see them now, but that is a past six and a half billion years ago. James Webb created this image by holding the light of the past in his own mirror.


Third Batch of Product Exclusions for Section 301 List 1 Announced
A third batch of product exclusions has been announced from the Section 301 List 1 imports from China. This comes after an effective date of July 6, 2018, when the United States Trade Representative imposed additional 25% duties on goods from China classified in 818 8-digit subheadings of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), with an approximate annual trade value of $34 billion, which is also known as the Section 301 “List 1” tariffs. Moreover, some exclusions for Section 301 “List 1” products were announced in early February 2019 and a second batch of exclusions were announced in March 2019.

On August 18, 2017, USTR initiated an investigation into certain acts, policies and practices of the Government of China related to technology transfer, intellectual property and innovation (82 FR 40213). During the investigation, the Trade Representative determined that the acts, policies and practices of China under investigation are unreasonable or discriminatory and burden or restrict U.S. commerce, and are thus actionable under Section 301(b) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (Trade Act).
In response, President Trump initiated a number of actions which imposed ad valorem tariffs on certain imports originating in China. Four separate lists have been announced. To view the most up to date information, check out our debriefing on Section 301 Imports from China. This post indicates effective dates, duty rates, and more.

How did it happen that two of our great hopes for 1990s poetry are both called "Jeff" (and what about Jeff Buckley???) Jeff Clark, born 1971, attracted
national attention with the publication (by Sun & Moon) of his first book The Little Door Slides Back, a weird, touching, magical blend of Marc Bolan, Mary
Butts, Angela Carter and Austin Powers. This international man of mystery was born in southern California to a Disneyland tourguide and a lounge
performer. In the early 90s he drummed for the experimental band BUICK, and now lives in San Francisco. He is the author of The Little Door Slides Back
(Sun & Moon). His work has appeared in American Letters & Commentary, Angle, Grand Street, Ribot, Tool, and ZYZZYVA. This will be his first poetry

With an acquisition in Mexico and plans to shrink its capex budget in 2015 already under its belt, AT&T shook up its strategy and investment plans further on Monday by scrapping a proposal to develop 4G-enabled in-flight broadband services. (See AT&T's Mexican Capex Dance.)
The operator has dropped its plans, first unveiled in April, to develop its own broadband connectivity service for airline staff and passengers using LTE connectivity. Aviation news site Runway Girl Network (RGN) reported Monday that those plans have failed to take off. (See AT&T Working On In-Flight LTE.)
"After a thorough review of our investment portfolio, the company decided to no longer pursue entry into the Inflight Connectivity industry," an AT&T spokesperson tells RGN. "We are focusing our capital on transformative investments, such as international and video."
AT&T made a massive move towards international expansion Friday with its $2.5 billion move to acquire Mexican 3G operator Iusacell. (See AT&T to Buy Iusacell, Plans Lower Capex For 2015.)
AT&T had been planning to work with Honeywell and build out a service that connected to the planes and crew via LTE but delivered WiFi to passengers. It had been due to launch in late 2015.
AT&T would have been competing against established in-flight WiFi providers such as Gogo.

The Carrier and Wholesale Services division of e& (formerly the Etisalat Group) has announced a partnership with technology giant Microsoft and satellite operator SES to host the co-located SES O3b mPOWER and Microsoft ground station at Ras Al Khaimah in the UAE.
O3b mPOWER is SES’s second-generation medium earth orbit (MEO) system and will operate around 8,000 km above the earth’s surface. It will be fully operational in early 2023.
The partners say that this, the first O3b mPOWER ground station in the region, will facilitate one-hop connectivity to the cloud from remote sites so that customers can optimize their global business operations smoothly. The partnership will also enable companies – regardless of their location – to accelerate their digitalization plans.
This partnership will mean that e& network services can be easily connected and extended via O3b mPOWER, which aims to deliver high-speed connectivity services from tens of megabits to multiple gigabits per second to one site.
The partners point out that one-hop connectivity to Azure Cloud and SES’s satellite network will enable simplicity and flexibility but also minimize any network latency delays.
The ground station at Ras Al Khaimah is one of eight initial O3b mPOWER gateway sites which will support both customer data services and the TTC (telemetry, tracking and control) control of the satellite system.
“SES’s O3b mPOWER satellite services will enhance cloud-enabled capability to meet critical industry connectivity needs with greater resiliency and enable users in e&’s customer base to benefit from enabling cloud applications regardless of where they are located," explains William Chappell, Vice President of Azure Global, Microsoft.

Latest from Tim Graham
CBS News ran a poll on global warming in December that it did not broadcast. PollingReport.com displayed a December 9-13 survey question: "Do you think global warming is an environmental problem that is causing a serious impact now, or do you think the impact of global warming won't happen until sometime in the future, or do you think global warming won't have a serious impact at all?"
CBS did attempt to panic the audience in a Saturday morning segment with Time's Jeffrey Kluger, who declared this issue is "not subject to politics."
Populism took the elites by surprise in 2016, so a review of this year’s cultural winners and losers must begin with a very long list of arrogant entertainers who thought it was completely impossible for the American people to descend into a pit of despair and ignorance and elect President Trump. No one believed for an instant the rich and famous losers who promised to move their arrogance to Canada or elsewhere if the Hillary Clinton juggernaut tanked.
The first winner is the reality-TV star himself, Donald Trump.
Fox News analyst Juan Williams offered a grand political post-mortem in The Hill newspaper this week: “Let’s agree on one fact: Donald Trump upended the political world with his win. But that incredible upset left an incredible hangover. The facts of political life are now subject to partisan interpretation.” So before 2016, the media had never offered facts with a “partisan interpretation”?
Every nonprofit group is ending the year with a pitch for last-minute tax-exempt contributions, and that includes National Public Radio. NPR fans received an e-mail with the subject line "Bold, unbiased journalism." That's pretty funny coming from a network that puts a loving touch on Barack Obama in interviews and never secured an interview with Donald Trump.
Bob Dole in 1996 and Mitt Romney in 2012 also skipped an NPR interview. So every GOP challenger in the last 20 years except George W. Bush skipped public radio. Doesn't that speak volumes?
In his "Morning Jolt" e-mail newsletter on Wednesday, National Review’s Jim Geraghty tore into an article comparing Harry Reid to Yoda. Jason Zengerle, a writer for Politico's magazine, wrote a gushy profile of Reid for New York magazine that included this passage: "Reid is as stern and blunt as ever, and the combined effect of his mental and physical condition has given him a Yoda-ish quality."
When Congress returns in January, the Democrats will be gunning for several Trump Cabinet nominees. The Left has already launched negative narratives on several, especially Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, Trump’s pick for Attorney General. Not only are the left-wing news media giving oxygen to these vitriolic attacks, in some cases, they are the very authors.
On their front pages on Christmas Day, both the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post published “profile” stories on Sessions obsessing over racial matters.
The United Nations voting again to punish Israel -- with the assent of the Obama White House -- put Fox News analyst Charles Krauthammer is a sour mood. On Monday night’s Special Report, substitute host Doug McKelway pointed out that Sen. Ted Cruz tweeted the U.S. government shouldn’t fund the UN until this vote is reversed.
On Sunday's Face the Nation, host John Dickerson reviewed the year 2016 with CBS Late Show host Stephen Colbert. The comedian admitted they planned their live election-night Showtime special but "prepared nothing...on purpose" for an obvious Trump victory, since Team Colbert thought that was highly unlikely, and "if it happens, we're going to be doing a show for a group of people who have been hauled into a Chilean soccer stadium to watch people executed. "
Nobody expects objectivity from The Huffington Post – not after a presidential campaign in which every Trump story carried a nasty “disclaimer” that Trump “regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther.” But now they’re warning Trump not to touch federal subsidies for Planned Parenthood’s abortion business.
“Senior politics reporter” Laura Bassett acts as the abortion conglomerate’s publicist in a story headlined “Some Trump Voters Will Be ‘Pissed Off As Hell’ If He Defunds Planned Parenthood.”
Here’s another little piece of evidence that the Murdoch family buying the National Geographic Channel isn’t turning it into a right-wing property. A forthcoming special Sea of Hope – debuting January 15 – includes footage of President Obama visiting a Hawaiian island to meet with “legendary scientist” Sylvia Earle as she shows him a new tropical fish species named after him.
Washington Post media reporter Paul Farhi dug into the Baltimore-based Sinclair Broadcast Group to warn of conservative pro-Trump bias. The headline at the top of the Style section front page was “How a giant TV company helped Donald Trump's campaign.” It’s nothing like giant TV companies like, say, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, or (“not for profit’’) PBS. But pro-Trump bias is offensive inside the Post headquarters. The major networks demonstrating a pro-Hillary bias is just favoring compassion, intelligence, and diversity.
On Thursday's Tucker Carlson Tonight, Fox News host Tucker Carlson decried CNN Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter for insisting on his October 30 show that you should "triple check before you share" and then spreading on Twitter a YouTube hoax where prankster Adam Saleh claimed he was being thrown off a Delta Airlines flight merely for speaking Arabic. The airline and other passengers strongly disagreed with that attempted spin.
Carlson and Joe Concha, media reporter for The Hill, suggested Stelter was a left-wing advocate and Trump-basher and should just admit his biases and change the name of his show.
The Washington Post easily proves it's a secular liberal newspaper at Christmas time. On Friday, the Post promoted a "dragapella" quartet mocking Christmas (and the incoming administration) in two different sections of the paper, in the Style section and in the Weekend tabloid. In Style, theatre critic Celia Wren hailed the Kinsey Sicks and their show "Oy Vey in a Manger!" at the D.C. Jewish Community Center.
Wren listed their satirical song set, including “God Bless Ye Femmy Lesbians,” “I Had a Little Facial” and “Lusty the Snowman,” and promised "No sacred cow is too delicate for this foursome to rope into a rodeo of spoofery. Most major religions come in for at least one dig." Sure, they do.
2016 hasn’t been a hot year for discussions of a rhetorical “war on Christmas” in our malls or public schools. Maybe we've tuned out the secular hostility in our culture. We've gone from banning Linus reading from the Gospel of Luke to banning Christmas to banning Santa Claus and now to banning even the thought of a holiday since for others it might not be.
But the deadly truck attack on a Christmas market in Berlin gives the phrase “war on Christmas” much more gravity and serves as the latest reminder that the secular media in what used to be called “Western civilization” has shown far too little concern for violent attacks on Christianity, the faith that created Western civilization.
CNN recently gave its 2016 Diversity Ovation Award to its producer Jen Christensen, who also serves as president of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association, a left-wing lobbying group of reporters and editors who work to skew news to the left, or as they put it, "ensure more fair and accurate coverage of LGBTQ issues and people." This usually means pressuring editors to drop any "bigoted" conservative opposition out of news stories, and covering their "community" only with positive propaganda.
Wednesday night’s All Things Considered on NPR carried a very soft, supportive six-minute interview of outgoing ultraliberal Sen. Barbara Boxer by co-host Kelly McEvers on the “path forward for Democrats.” Boxer wouldn’t admit there were any real problems with the appeal of Democrats, certainly nothing unappealing about their leftist ideology. She also complained about people who said they "can't vote" for Hillary over the e-mail scandal.
Poynter’s James Warren (a former Chicago Tribune managing editor) has turned to the next press horror under President Trump: “What will the White House correspondents’ dinner look like under President Trump?” Warren admitted “It seems way off — April 29, 2017 — but the election of Donald Trump is already raising questions and some fears among [White House Correspondents] association members.”
"This is unchartered territory," said a former WHCA board member who's discussed the matter with board members.
Two months ago, the liberal media erupted in horror after the third presidential debate when Fox’s Chris Wallace challenged Donald Trump to accept the election results, and Trump said he would “wait and see.” NBC described a “flood of condemnation” and cited President Obama accusing Trump of “undermining our democracy.’ Today co-host Savannah Guthrie called it an “earthquake.” Guthrie turned to retired anchorman Tom Brokaw to denounce Trump. “This is not a banana republic,” he said.
At the bottom of page A-11 in Tuesday’s Washington Post, reporters Anthony Faiola and Stephanie Kirchner reported on what should be part of the story of the suspected terrorist truck driven through a Christmas market. A German-taxpayer-subsidized Muslim-majority academy in Istanbul put the kibosh on Christian celebrations. The Post reporters called it a "four-alarm fire in the 24-hour news cycle," but this Germany report was seven pages away from the continuation of the Berlin truck rampage story (which the Post put on A-18, the back of the front section).
The Washington Post is in the tank for Samantha Bee, the unfunny feminist battle-ax on TBS. On the front of Monday's Express tabloid was the tease "Ladies first: Samantha Bee is one reason it was the year of the woman on TV." Inside, Post writer Marc Silver gushed that Bee was funnier than all the late-night male hosts combined. That's some fake news.

It's important to note that the effectiveness of A1C tests may be limited in certain cases. For example:
If you experience heavy or chronic bleeding, your hemoglobin stores may be depleted. This may make your A1C test results falsely low.
If you have iron deficiency anemia, your A1C test results may be falsely high.
Most people have only one type of hemoglobin, called hemoglobin A. If you have an uncommon form of hemoglobin (known as a hemoglobin variant), your A1C test result may be falsely high or falsely low. Hemoglobin variants are most often found in blacks and people of Mediterranean or Southeast Asian heritage. Hemoglobin variants can be confirmed with lab tests. If you're diagnosed with a hemoglobin variant, your A1C tests may need to be done at a specialized lab for the most accurate results.
If you have another form of hemolytic anemia, or if you've had a recent blood transfusion, this test would not be useful, as results may be falsely low.
Also keep in mind that the normal range for A1C results may vary somewhat among labs. If you consult a new doctor or use a different lab, it's important to consider this possible variation when interpreting your A1C test results.
