Assignment of Life Insurance Policy
An Insurance policy is a property. It can be sold, mortgaged, charged, gifted or bequeathed.
In India, the assignment is governed by Section 38 of the Insurance Act. On execution of the assignment, the assignee gets all rights, title and interest in respect of property assigned and becomes the owner of the policy, subject to the provision that the assignee cannot have a better title than the assignor.
This last provision is very important. It means simply that the assignee would not be eligible to get a claim that for some reason is rejected to the assured. The assignment requires that the parties be competent to contract and are not subject to legal disqualifications.
The policyholder is the assignor and on whom the policy is assigned is the assignee.
There are two types of assignments.
- Absolute assignment
- Conditional Assignment
All rights, title, and interest, which the assignor has in the policy are transferred to the assignee without reversion to the former or his/her estate in any event.
The policy thus vests absolutely with the assignee. The latter can deal with the policy in whatever manner he or she likes, without the consent of the assignor.
The conditional assignment provides that the policy shall revert to the life assured on his or her surviving the date of maturity or on the death of the assignee.
Conditions for Valid Assignment
Let us now look at the conditions that are necessary for a valid assignment.
- The person executing it (the assignor) must have absolute right and title or assignable interest to the policy being assigned
- It is necessary that the assignment be supported by valuable consideration, which may include love and affection
- It is imperative that the assignment is not opposed to any law in force. For example, the assignment of a policy to a foreign national residing in another country may contravene exchange control regulations
- The assignee can do another assignment, but cannot do nomination because assignee is not the life assured
How is the assignment done?
The assignment has to be in writing and must be signed and attested by at least one witness.
The fact of transfer of title has to be specifically set forth in the form of an endorsement on the policy. It is also necessary that the policyholder must give notice of the assignment to the insurer.
Unless such notice in writing is received by the insurer, the assignee would not have any right of title to the policy.
On receipt of the policy document for endorsement and notice, the life Insurance may affect and register the assignment.
It must be noted that while registering the assignment, the company does not take any responsibility or express any opinion about its validity or legal effect.
The date of the assignment as recorded in the books of the life Insurance company would be the date on which the assignment and notice thereof have been received by its concerned office.
If the notice and the assignment were to be received on separate dates, the date of the one received later will be deemed as the date of registration.
Reassignment of Policy
An assignee may reassign interest in the policy to the policyholder/life assured during the currency of the policy.
On such reassignment, the latter may be advised to execute a fresh nomination or assignment for expeditious settlement of the claim.
Again, in the case of conditional assignment, the title to the policy would revert to the life assured in the event of the death of the assignee. On the other hand, if the assignment were absolute, the title would pass to the estate of the deceased assignee.

By 2013, the number of base stations supporting wireless networks will increase to 5.7 million, up from 3.6 million in 2007, as networks expand and 4G technology becomes more of a reality, according to a new report by ABI Research.
One reason for the increase, according to the report, is the proliferation of Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) such as Apple's iPhone 3G, RIM's BlackBerry Bold, and Nokia's E71, which add increased network traffic and email access. As these devices become more commonplace and less high-end, the demand for bandwidth and the necessary network support needed to sustain that growth is only bound to increase.

Hands-on with the HTC Vive VR at Pax Prime 2015
We live in an amazing age. We all carry computers in our pocket which have more power than they took to the moon, and give us access to the sum total of all human knowledge at the touch of a button. Such things have been in the realm of science fiction not simply since I was a kid, but since my parents were young.
Virtual reality is another sci-fi dream that's close to becoming actual reality. While most of the early press on the VR front has been given to the Oculus Rift, there’s another VR option on the horizon which is going to give Facebook's Oculus a run for it’s money: the HTC Vive powered by Steam VR.
Move your feet
This past weekend at PAX Prime I got to spend some quality time with the HTC Vive running through several tech demos as well as a demo for an upcoming game. What sets Vive apart from the competition is that it is not a stationary experience. While headsets like the Oculus gives you the ability to look all around and see the environment, the Vive actually lets you walk around that environment on your own two feet and interact with objects using your own hands.
The movement part is accomplished via laser position sensors which can create a physical space, up to a 15 foot square, for you to move around. The interaction part is done with a wand-like game controller in each hand which can be used to simulate hands in order to pick up items, open drawers, and more. Add in the cameras for tracking your head movement and you have a true virtual reality space you can move within and explore.
Over the course of the PAX weekend I was able to try a Steam VR demo loop as well as Cloudhead Games' The Gallery Ep1: Call of the Starseed. The demo loop began with TheBlu by WEVR. This was a simple look and explore demo which had you standing on the bow of a sunken ship as marine life swam around you. It culminated with a close encounter with a blue whale which a fairly exhilarating experience.
The Job Simulator by Owlchemy Labs put you in front of a kitchen counter with numerous ingredients and a recipe for soup. Here you used the controllers as hands to pick up the tomatoes and drop them in the pot, as well as pick up a salt shaker and shake it over you base. You could also walk over the fridge to grab anything that wasn’t on the counter.
Demo 3 was Tilt Brush by Skillman & Hackett (now owned by Google). This turned one of your wands into a paint brush and the other into your palette. You select the color and type of design you want and then create three dimensional art. I’m about as far from an artist as you can get so my creation ended up being an abstract mess, but it was very colorful. Somebody with skill can likely do some very special things with this.
Finally, Valve’s own Aperture Robot Repair drops you into the Enrichment Center in an experience that any Portal fans need to see. You get up close and personal with Atlus and the demo culminates with a face to face lecture from GLaDOS. I was excited and terrified at the same time.
Call of the Starseed and technical challenges
While each of the smaller demos dropped you into a closed room, forcing you to stay within the bounds of the laser sensors (the calibration was dead on, whenever I had to interact with something on a wall I felt my hand bump up against the wall of the room I was in), Call of the Starseed by CloudHead Games was a VR adventure game that allowed you to truly move throughout a virtual world. Since you can’t walk in a straight line forever, as you’ll hit the walls of your own room eventually anyway, their game includes the “blink system.” By holding down a button on one of the controls a location reticule appears. Then you simply look to the location you want to move to and release the button. The world briefly blinks out of existence and an instant later you are standing in that location with the walkable space around you.
While the Starseed demo dropped you into the action without much explanation, the game has pretty standard adventure game mechanics with items to pick up and use to solve puzzles in order to progress. Actions included picking up items and throwing them, reaching behind you to pull your backpack full of items to the front, using both hands to cause items to interact with each other, and firing a gun. Each action felt smooth and simple.
There were only a couple of issues which prevented the HTC Vive experience from being perfect. One was cable management. The wires that connect the rig to the computer were plenty long enough to connect, but this meant that depending on how I moved I was stepping on the cable if I needed to back up or possibly getting slightly tangled in it depending on how I turned.
Secondly, the game’s location sensors are so well tuned that the game knew that I was a shorter-than-average human male. As such, tables during Call of the Starseed were taller for me than for other players, making the items on them slightly more awkward to obtain. It’s a potential problem that might limit accessibility of this technology for some players.
It feels utterly amazing to say that VR is a real thing that’s so close to being available to the public. While nobody was willing to quote a firm release date for the Vive, a rep did tell me they hoped to have the Vive available this holiday season which, if it happens, will give it a jump on the Oculus, which is not expected until 2016.
Price points are another issue entirely and are an utter mystery at this point. Vive has the potential to be a “premium” option compared to Oculus or other competitors, as it will have more parts, but the added capabilities will likely make it a product worth considering.
Welcome to the future.

I would like to point out to everyone that even though the Better Than Bouillon labels say “NO ADDED MSG” it does still contain some MSG. Those of us who are made very ill by MSG have learned to triple check all listed ingredients. Here is a quote from Food Renegade that explains this better than I can:
“Hydrolyzed soy protein is an ingredient that always contains MSG! (source) Because the manufacturer didn’t add an ingredient called “mono-sodium glutamate,” they can “truthfully” claim “No MSG added” on their label. Yet, nothing is stopping them from adding ingredients that contain MSG. In that case, the manufacturer only has to list the name of the actual ingredient added, not the ingredients within those ingredients.
Because of this little-known fact, another ingredient on this label should give us pause: flavoring. MSG often hides in “flavoring,” “natural flavoring,” or “spices.” (source) Furthermore, the process used to create the dried whey produces : MSG!”
Thank you, – Ginger
JWR Replies: Thanks for making that correction. OBTW back in 2005, I posted a useful list of pseudonyms for MSG, in a SurvivalBlog article titled: MSG, By Any Other Name

500 Startups brings post-seed programme to London
Silicon Valley accelerator founded by angel investor Dave McClure is committed to bridging gap between seed and Series A funding
Silicon Valley’s 500 Startups is to launch in London with a new three-month programme to help post-seed start-ups grow, Tech Crunch has reported today.
Founded by Dave McClure in 2010, 500 Startups is a global seed investor and accelerator programme spanning 50 countries with more 1,000 companies involved, including over 15 British start-ups.
The London programme will be focused on bridging the gap between seed funding and the so called Series A “crunch” and will select around 20 start-ups in the first year which will receive funding of £100,000 to £200,000, but with an approximate £30,000 tuition fee. The equity taken will vary on a deal by deal basis but will most likely be between 3-7% based on each start-up’s valuation.
The London programme is expected to accept five companies at a time with the first to begin in September and eligible start-ups will need to evidence “demonstrable product-market-fit and measurable traction”.
The launch validates rumours that 500 Startups would be establishing an operation in London at an even in Tech City in June.
Speaking to Tech Crunch, McClure commented: “When we looked at the market, there’s a lot of early-stage angel and seed money in general, and good ‘smart money’, such as Techstars and Seedcamp, which offer great services, so we didn’t want to go in and be the 101st accelerator in London.
“That’s why we decided to focus on post-seed. There is a Series A crunch — these seed companies coming out really need to get their KPIs up before they can raise another round and growth is really our speciality. That’s where we think we can add the most value to the ecosystem.”

The City of Carlsbad is strengthening its laws and adding a code compliance officer to improve the way it responds to complaints and address code violations that pose a threat to public health and safety and diminish the quality of life in Carlsbad neighborhoods.
The amendments to city laws, called the Carlsbad Municipal Code, will clarify the definition of a “nuisance” and authorize enforcement officers to declare a nuisance administratively. Under the previous system a code violation had to pose a public health or safety threat to be declared a nuisance. The code revisions allow the city to declare any code violation a public nuisance and proceed accordingly.
The code amendments will also streamline the process of declaring a nuisance. Previously an alleged violation had to undergo four separate City Council actions to be declared a public nuisance. Under the new system, code compliance or other enforcement officers will be able to declare a code violation when a property owner does not voluntarily comply, and the city manager will be able to direct follow up actions without further City Council action. During the notice of violation, property owners will have the ability to appeal decisions of the enforcement officers to the city manager.
The purpose of the revisions is to better serve the community by giving code compliance officers the ability to respond in a timelier manner to community complaints and ease neighbors’ concerns. Under the previous system it could take four months or so for the City Council to declare a public nuisance, whereas the revised system will reduce that period to 30 to 45 days.
Some common code violations include building or making changes or additions to a home or structure without a permit, abandoning vehicles on the street or on private property, or piling up junk in a home’s back yard. Such violations can pose a public health or safety threat, or diminish neighbors’ quality of life and thereby represent a public nuisance.
The city is also developing a phone app called “GoRequest” that will allow residents to report violations over smart phones and mobile devices. The city hopes to implement the GoRequest program by the end of this calendar year.
“We’ve been noticing that complaints have been getting more complex and involve issues that cut across several departments, so they require more coordination between departments,” said City of Carlsbad Housing & Neighborhood Services Director Debbie Fountain. “The code revisions and new technology will improve customer service by allowing our enforcement teams to keep up with a changing world.”
The changes will also enable code compliance officers to address potential violations as soon as they detect them in the field, such as property owners altering residential properties for commercial use in violation of zoning codes, instead of waiting for a complaint from the neighborhood.
The new code compliance officer will increase the number of officers to two from one. This will double the force and improve efficiency. The city has also implemented a wireless technology called “GoEnforce” that officers use in the field. This web-based program allows officers to use mobile devices to create and access records, thereby increasing their time in the field while reducing their time traveling to and from the office.
The new code compliance officer is expected to be on staff this autumn.
—City of Carlsbad

I am very happy to share this image because it is part of the first commissioned project of my new archviz studio (scuares.com). The whole project was modeled in Rhino and then imported to 3DsMax and renderd with Corona Renderer. One of the most challenging parts was the creation of the rolling blinds. They were modeled using Grasshopper 3D for Rhino (to generate all the luvres from a Spline and to add random variations in each luvre). Another tricky part was the vegetation: the architects wanted climbing plants in very specific positions and shapes. So I decided to learn GrowFX and I am quite happy with the result. I hope you like the image and please let me know if you have any comments.

Microsoft has announced it is repairing defective Surface Laptop 3 devices whose screens appear to spontaneously crack.
Some Surface customers have been reporting for months that their device screens have been cracking, in some cases without the users doing anything. In at least one case, the crack appeared after spending the night sitting on the desk charging.
It appears that Microsoft is finally addressing the issue, offering to repair the affected devices free of charge, according to a post on the company’s support site:
We have investigated claims of screen cracking on Surface Laptop 3 and have determined that, in a very small percentage of cases, a hard foreign particle may cause a hairline fracture in the glass that may seem to appear unexpectedly or without visible cause.
If you believe your Surface Laptop 3 is experiencing this issue, you are encouraged to contact our customer support team to initiate a repair free of charge during the warranty period of the device. If you have previously paid Microsoft for a Surface Laptop 3 repair that you believe experienced this issue, please contact customer support to learn about reimbursement.
Microsoft Surface Team
This is a big miss for the company, and represents a quality issue that should never have made it through production. Fortunately, impacted users won’t have to pay for the fix.

Cooler Master Aerogate II and Musketeer Multi-function Control Panels
The Aerogate II
This content was originally featured on Amdmb.com and has been converted to PC Perspective's website. Some color changes and flaws may appear.The Cooler Master Aerogate II arrived securely nestled in foam packing material inside a small, attractively labeled cardboard box. The complete contents included the following items.
- Aerogate II thermal controller
- (4) thermal probes
- (3) fan extension cables
- 4-pin power cable
- Mounting screws
- User’s Manual
The Aerogate II has three notable features on its front panel. On the left side is a small fan, which draws cool outside air into the PC. In the middle of the panel is an easy to read LCD display. Both the temperature and fan speed are clearly displayed for the selected channel but there is no auto-scan feature to display all channels in a continuous loop.
On the right side is a single control knob surrounded by six function selector buttons. The control knob adjusts the fan speed for the channel selected. It requires two full turns to go from minimum speed to maximum speed. The top button allows selecting from seven different colors for the backlight surrounding the control knob. The bottom button toggles the temperature readings between ºC and ºF. The remaining four buttons correspond to the four channels or zones.
Channel #1 CPU (Temp. sensor 1)
Channel #2 VGA (Temp. sensor 2)
Channel #3 HDD (Temp. sensor 3)
Channel #4 Case (Temp. sensor 4)
For those of you with doors on the front of your cases, the Aerogate II control knob sticks out approximately 7mm (~1/4”) from the front panel face. I found this also made the knob a little difficult for my clumsy fingers to get a good hold on.
The Aerogate II is factory set to have each temperature sensor correspond to one of the four fan channels. The CPU and VGA fans (channel 1 & 2) will activate (increase to full speed) when their corresponding sensor detects a temperature of 65º C (149º F) or higher. The HDD and Case fans (channel 3 & 4) will speed up when the corresponding sensor detects a temperature of 55º C (131º F) or higher. Unfortunately the end user cannot change these settings.
There is also an audible alarm that will sound if the Aerogate II does not detect an RPM signal from each of the four connected fans. This feature is provided to warn the user if a fan should fail during normal operation. It requires connecting a fan that produces an RPM signal to all four channels. This feature cannot be re-programmed or turned off. It could be a slight disadvantage for people using case fans that do not provide RPM sensing (like most of the very popular Panaflo fans). However, it is quite easy to silence the alarm with a simple push of the main control knob.
There are five connectors along the backside of the Aerogate II for attaching the power supply cable and four fans. The Aerogate II’s internal fan is already plugged into channel #3. You can connect more than one fan to each channel (using Y-adapter cables) as long as the total power draw does not exceed 18 watts. When two or more fans are connected together, only one fan speed will be monitored.
The four temperature probe cables all plug into an 8-pin header located beside the fan. Each pair of pins is labeled and it is important to keep track of which probe goes where. The thermistor packaging on the end of each cable is flat with long leads, which makes mounting the probes quite easy, even when inserting the probe between the heatsink base and CPU package.
Note: NEVER install a thermal probe between the actual CPU core (or heat spreader) and the base of the heatsink. The probe must go beside the core and not interfere with the CPU to heatsink interface.
Once the Aerogate II is installed with fans connected and temperature probes mounted in position, you are ready to sit back and enjoy the show.

'Poky Little' $84M deal
August 16, 2001 Posted: 1143 GMT
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -- Random House Inc. and Classic Media Inc said they won a bankruptcy court auction for the assets of Golden Books Family Entertainment Inc., publisher of well-known children's books such as "Poky Little Puppy" and "Pat the Bunny."
The joint bid was worth $84.4 million, plus the assumption of most debt. Industry sources estimate Golden Books' debts at up to $50 million.
With a library of more than 500,000 titles and a vast comic book collection, 3,000 movies, television specials and cartoons, Golden Books is seen as a key asset by the two bidding parties.
Early in June, DIC Entertainment, a Burbank, Calif., developer of children's television shows, offered $170 million for Golden Books, including $73 million in cash, $7 million in notes issued by DIC and $90 million in liabilities, including medical benefits.
"Ultimately, the bidding reached a point where it made more sense to bow out," Andy Heyward, DIC chief executive, said Wednesday. DIC said it will walk away with a $4.5-5.0 million break-up fee from the deal.
Random House, a unit of Germany's Bertelsmann AG and the world's largest general interest book publisher, said it acquired all the book publishing properties of Golden Books.
Classic Media, which acquires and manages entertainment properties in a variety of media, bought the assets of Golden Books' entertainment division, which include the movie, TV and home video libraries, and the production, licensing, and merchandising rights for Golden's characters.
Random House spokesman Stuart Applebaum declined to comment on whether the acquisition would result in any job cuts.
The purchase agreement is subject to regulatory approval. Applebaum said Random House expects to close the deal in early fall.

Inside the Beltway: Ill-suited?
Question of the Day
Uh-oh. The next power suit on Capitol Hill may be a loud sports jacket. Consider that the sleek, 1960s-style menswear showcased on AMC's "Mad Men" series is the uniform of choice among many politicians and political operatives who swear by the traditional look of Don Draper and the other manly men of the uber-popular cable-TV drama. Indeed, intense males draped in charcoal gray and smartphone accessories are running the day-to-day business in the halls of Congress and along K Street with style and authority. But just wait.
News has surfaced that "Mad Men" has moved its look forward a few years, to the late 1960s. The menfolk are going "mod" — wearing bold plaids, stripes and psychedelic prints. There has been a re-emergence of the sports jacket, says the show's Emmy Award-winning costume designer Janie Bryant, who explains that the new style veers "away from the Camelot era's early '60s look and into the late '60s mod fashions."
Can we expect Nehru jackets with swingin' medallions soon? Should conservative fashion plate Mitt Romney win the presidency, it could be an odd clash of styles, indeed. Meanwhile, there's a whole new "Mad Men"-sanctioned collection for the curious, which debuts early in 2013 at the Banana Republic.
"Are you safer now than you were four years ago? That's the most important question that needs to be answered in Monday night's foreign-policy debate. Unfortunately for President Obama, there's ample evidence that the answer is 'no,'" says Commentary magazine political writer Alana Goodman.
Beyond inquiries into the Libya attack, there are five more questions she suggests:
"Did you underestimate al Qaeda's Arabian Peninsula affiliate before the 2009 Christmas Day bombing attack? Did you call the Christmas Day bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab an 'isolated extremist' three days after the attack? Did White House counterterrorism advisor John Brennan admit before the U.S. attack that al Qaeda's Yemen affiliate was capable of attacking the homeland? Did you underestimate the Pakistani Taliban's ability to attack the homeland prior to the failed Times Square car bombing in 2010? Did you miss warning signs in 2009, when CIA officers were killed in a suicide attack by a double-agent inside a U.S. base in Afghanistan?"
But Ms. Goodman already has the answer to all of these questions. And that answer, she says, is "yes."
Press outnumber pupils: There will be 3,000 reporters and 2,010 students at the "boutique" campus of Lynn University, host of Monday night's debate, which unfolds inside a designated, 25-acre "Debate City" on the Florida campus, complete with nightclub, giant "inflatables," a live concert, Jumbotrons and gourmet food trucks for the young and restless — and a little something extra for the principal stars.
"They had to install air-conditioning vents over the stage trained directly on President Obama, Mitt Romney and moderator Bob Schieffer so that none would sweat the way Richard Nixon did in his 1960 debate with John F. Kennedy," explains Tampa Bay Times reporter Leonora LaPeter Anton.
The candidates will still get hot under the collar, since strident interruptions are now presidential tradition, apparently. There were 122 major interruptions during the last debate: Mr. Obama cut off Mr. Romney mid-sentence 36 times, Mr. Romney reciprocated 28 times — while moderator Candy Crowley interrupted Mr. Romney 23 times and the president 15 times, according to a meticulous analysis by the George Mason University Center for Media and Public Affairs and Chapman University. The two men interrupted Ms. Crowley 20 times — Mr. Romney, 11 times; Mr. Obama, nine times.
"Sandra Fluke, the woman at the center of a media firestorm earlier this year after Rush Limbaugh called her a 'slut,' spoke Saturday in front of about 10 people at the Sak 'N Save in north Reno. The speech was part of a daylong effort by Democrats to get Northern Nevadans to the polls on the first day of early voting." (From an account in the Reno Gazette Journal on Sunday).
"They wore oven mitts with pictures of Mitt Romney and hats adorned with tea bags and buttons. But for the several thousand tea party supporters who turned out for a rally Saturday at the Indian River County Fairgrounds, the message was clear — stand up for America by voting on Election Day." (From an account in the Treasure Coast Palm, also on Sunday.)
"Just the tip of the iceberg, folks. And vote they undoubtedly will. A lot of people who get their news only from the 'lamestream' media are going to be shocked when the tea party turns out in full force on Nov. 6," predicts Glenn Reynolds, the "Instapundit" for Pajamas Media.
"We want all Latino Christians to exercise their civic responsibility as an act of prophetic witness. I encourage Latino faith voters to coalesce around our core values of life, family, religious liberty, education, poverty alleviation and immigration reform . At the end of the day, our No. 1 objective is to reconcile Billy Graham's message with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s march. We advance not the agenda of the donkey or the elephant but exclusively the agenda of the lamb."
— the Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference and the Hispanic Evangelical Association

network interface card (NIC)
2022-04-17 · 2 min read
These are the phyiscal hardware devices responsible for actually, phyiscally sending bits over the proverbial wire. In OSI model terms, they usually bridge L1 (Phyiscal Layer) and L2 (Data-link Layer), though some fancy NICs can handle the whole TCP/IP stack.
Most consumer-grade hardware comes with a NIC integrated into the CPU or Motherboard. NICs can also be purchased separately and hooked up via the PCI bus.
These NICs are then typically connected via a physical Ethernet connection or provide wireless WiFi connection to a local router.
NICs are abstracted away by the kernel with network interfaces for userspace applications to configure and consume.
For a simplified mental model, I like to think of a NIC as a set of receive (rx) queues and transmit (tx) queues for sending and receiving link-layer frames.
The tx/rx queues are typically FIFO ring-buffers. If you don't pull off frames fast enough or push too many frames at once, you'll start overwriting old frames : ).
NICs typically provide a low-level interface or driver for the kernel (or more rarely, a userspace application) to pump outbound link-layer frames into the network and read inbound link-layer frames from the network.
NICs are addressed via MAC addresses on the local physical network. MAC addresses need to be unique per local network, but aren't globally unique.
Kernel Bypass #
Userspace applications can completely bypass the kernel and send/receive packets directly from a NIC. Doing this by hand would be quite tedious, as different NICs often have different APIs. People tend to use a library like DPDK (Data-Plane Development Kit) for this purpose. As for why you would want to do this, the answer is usually performance and control. Some exotic NICs or FPGA accelerators may also require bypassing the kernel to take full advantage.

Boeing reported a $329 million reach-forward loss on the KC-46 tanker programme to cover the costs of incorporating multiple design changes into the first lot of production aircraft.
The latest charge deepens Boeing’s losses on the fixed-price development and production contracts for the KC-46. Since 2016, Boeing has reported a total of $1.6 billion in reach-forward losses on the engineering manufacturing and development (EMD) and low-rate initial production (LRIP) aircraft.
But Boeing doesn’t expect the additional costs to have an impact on the programme’s schedule. After a previously announced, eight-month delay, the US Air Force expects Boeing to deliver the first 18 KC-46As to Air Mobility Command in the spring next year.
“We have not experienced any new significant technical discoveries,” says Boeing chairman, president and chief executive Dennis Muilenburg. “And we continue to make steady progress closing out technical risk on the path to final certification and to delivering the first 18 tankers next year.”
The reach forward losses in the third quarter included a $256 million charge by Boeing Commercial Aircraft on the 767-2C freighter variant and a $73 million charge by the Defense Space and Security segment, which converts the 767-2C into the KC-46.
In addition to losses over $2 billion since the programme start in 2011, Boeing has received $9.8 billion in combined EMD and LRIP contracts from the USAF. The LRIP awards have added 34 aircraft to Boeing’s 767 backlog.
In the long-term, Boeing believes the losses on the programme will be worth it. The USAF plans to replace hundreds of Boeing KC-135 tankers with as many as 179 KC-46 aircraft with a total estimated value of $30 billion.
“We remain very confident in the long-term value of this franchise,” Muilenburg says.
Boeing has completed 2,000 flight test hours on the KC-46 test fleet, fulfilling 80% of the test points required to achieve military certification, Muilenburg says.


STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- There were seven instances of sexual assault or stalking on Staten Island's three college campuses during the last school year.
The incidents included two reported rapes.
College campuses are treated like private legal domains. They are given the authority to handle crimes on campus and there is no legal requirement for the schools' Department of Public Safety (DPS) to report crimes to local police. The incidents are only reported to police if the victim decides to take that additional step.
The following incidents occurred during the 2015-2016 school year, according to each institution's state-mandated Annual Security Report (ASR) filed with the Office of Postsecondary Education of the U.S. Department of Education:
- The College of Staten Island: One rape, reported to the school's DPS; one incident of fondling, reported to DPS; one incident of dating violence, reported to DPS, and two incidents of stalking, reported to DPS.
- Wagner College, Grymes Hill: One rape, which was reported to the NYPD.
As a requirement of the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, or Clery Act, and the Higher Education Opportunity Act, colleges that receive federal student aid are required to submit an annual report of campus safety and security statistics annually.
The data must be made available to the public on the school's website in the ASR, and published and distributed to students annually by Oct 1.
PREVIOUS CASES AT ISLAND SCHOOLS
The most recent disclosures come after there were four reported rapes on Wagner's campus in 2014-2015 school year and four in 2013-2014.
In the past 14 years, there have been seven reported incidents of sexual assault at CSI's campus and 15 reported incidents of sexual assault on Wagner's campus, including the eight reported rapes, the Advance reported last year.
The issue of how sex crimes are handled on college and universities across the nation has been the focus of legal and policy debates for decades, leading to lawsuits, federal legislation and efforts by advocacy organizations that have tried to compensate for the schools' right to handle the cases solely through their internal security and disciplinary systems.
REPORTING TO POLICE NOT REQUIRED
When a sexual assault or rape occurs on campus is reported to campus personnel, it's handled by the school's disciplinary system, which is typically a tribunal consisting of teachers, faculty and sometimes students, who, critics say, have very little, if any, training on how to deal with such cases.
Local law enforcement is only notified when and if the victim chooses to report the crime a second time. Or, as in the Wagner case, the victim decides to go directly to law enforcement first.
According to Wagner's ASR, the one incident of rape was reported to the NYPD and not the school's public safety office.
When asked about the five incidents that occurred at the College of Staten Island during the 2015-2016 school year, Cheryl Adolph, spokeswoman for the College of Staten Island said, "The safety and well-being of students, faculty and staff at the College of Staten Island is always of paramount concern."
"Incidents of reported sexual assaults at CSI are managed in compliance with CUNY's Policy on Sexual Misconduct and federal and state law," Adolph said.
"CSI remains deeply committed to our Island and campus communities by promptly issuing emergency notifications when there is an imminent, serious or continuing threat. Although a victim's choice to not report a sexual assault or incident to the police will take precedent, the College reserves the right to notify police when it believes that such reporting is necessary for the protection of the College community. In these cases, and pursuant to CUNY policy, the College will support the complainant through counseling services and appropriate academic and housing accommodations, so that the student may continue their education absent unnecessary stress or trauma. Complainants will also be encouraged to come forward at any point in the future to pursue the allegation. Incidents are counted in the Annual Safety Report per Clery Act guidelines and shared with the College community," she said.
She said CSI is also in support of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's Enough is Enough: Combating Sexual Misconduct legislation.
STALKING CASE AT ST. JOHN'S
In addition to being a sex offense, stalking is also a violation of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).
Signed by then-President Barack Obama in 2013, the VAWA amended the Clery Act to require schools to include statistics for dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking in the Annual Security Report.
"The educational privacy laws prevent us from commenting on a specific incident, however, when we receive a report we respond promptly, investigate and take appropriate action," said Yael Wepman, St. John's University's Title IX coordinator, when asked about the incident.
Wagner did not responded to requests for a comment.
D.A. PARTNERS WITH COLLEGES ON SEXUAL ASSAULT
Last month, District Attorney Michael E. McMahon's office announced a partnership with the borough's three colleges in the handling of sexual assaults.
The Staten Island Comprehensive College Sexual Assault Initiative, or the Staten Island Plan, makes the district attorney's investigative resources and survivor support services available to students at St. John's University, Wagner College and the College of Staten Island.
"Together, we will help survivors of sexual assault to explore a variety of options available to them, including counseling, medical resources, discussion of legal options, and provide them with a dedicated support person to guide them through the criminal justice system should the survivor wish to report the incident," McMahon said.
"This allows survivors to get a comprehensive idea of all their options before needing to make a decision on how they wish to continue," he said.
Through the initiative, assistant district attorneys from the D.A's Special Victims bureau will help the survivors navigate their options -- inside and outside the criminal justice system -- should they make the decision to report the incident.
In an effort to promote the partnership, assistant district attorneys have been attending orientation sessions at the three campuses, will attend events throughout the year, and host relevant trainings for student groups and staff.
The College of Staten Island praised the new initiative and pledged to work with McMahon's office in partnership with the other two schools.
"This Initiative will provide CSI students with more support during a difficult time whether or not a survivor chooses to report the matter to police or participate in a campus investigation," Adolph said.

Governor Laura Kelly today held a meeting with business leaders across the state to discuss the unique needs of Kansas’s business community as we continue to recover from COVID-19 and explore solutions to address workforce shortages statewide.
“Since the start of the pandemic, I have asked for data and input from experts and stakeholders before making significant policy decisions,” Governor Kelly said. “Today’s discussion is the first of several I will hold to determine the best course of action – for businesses and for families – to reduce our state’s workforce shortages. I remain committed to supporting our businesses and workers to rebuild a healthier, stronger economy following COVID-19.”
In addition to hearing business’s concerns, Governor Kelly discussed other potential factors causing the current workforce shortages including several that pre-date COVID-19 such as low wages, socially-regressive policies, health care, and childcare:
- Kansas has one of the largest shares of workers who are reliant on childcare and school. For example, in Manhattan Kansas, 27% of workers are reliant on childcare and school in order to have the ability to work.
- Many Kansans looking to reenter the workforce also have caregiving responsibilities: this recession has disproportionately affected women who largely take up these duties.
- Kansas’ April 2021 unemployment rate was nearly back to pre-pandemic lows at 3.5%.
- According to a 2017 article from “The Wichita Eagle,” Kansas’ workforce shortage issues began long before the COVID-19 pandemic entered our state.
- The Federal Reserve reports that Kansas labor force participation rate is currently slightly higher than it was for all of 2019, meaning that more people are working and looking for work than before the pandemic began.
- Currently, 33,000 people are receiving enhanced benefits in Kansas – but the state has 57,000 current job vacancies. If every unemployed Kansan immediately entered the workforce, there would still be job vacancies.
- An article from “The Wichita Eagle” indicates that labor allocation and wages, disruption from the pandemic, friction around types of available jobs, and the retirement of older workers are the main causes for ongoing workforce shortages, rather than extended federal unemployment benefits.
- According to an article in “The Kansas City Star,” young people in Kansas are pursuing career opportunities in other states that have embraced policies like Medicaid expansion, medical marijuana, and diversity and inclusion.
- In April, Governor Kelly and Lt. Governor David Toland heard from aviation leaders that the industry is regaining stability and is ready to hire more employees – but are facing issues finding trained, qualified workers.

Hydrangea Root (Hydrangea arborescens)
Hydrangea is a plant. The root and rhizome (underground stem) are used to make medicine.
Hydrangea is used for urinary tract problems such as infections of the bladder, urethra and prostate; enlarged prostate; and kidney stones. It is also used for hay fever.
The chemicals in hydrangea may cause increased urine output, which could help some urinary tract problems.
Hydrangea is an ornamental and medicinal plant native to North America, South America and Asia that has been used for the treatment of urinary tract and prostate disorders in traditional Chinese medicine and by Native American tribes of North America. The Nepalese use hydrangea root, which contains several active alkaloids, to treat colds and indigestion. Recently, Western studies have identified that hydrangea root has autoimmune treatment properties. Prior to using hydrangea root to treat health disorders, consult a qualified practitioner.
Hydrangea root is used in a variety of forms including powder, liquid extract, syrup, tincture and tea. Recommended doses include the following: 2 to 4g dried hydrangea root three times per day; 2 to 4 ml liquid extract three times per day; 2 to 10 ml hydrangea tincture three times per day; and 2 to 4 tsp dried hydrangea root steeped in a cup of boiling water for 10 to 15 minutes three times per day. Prior to using this and all herbal treatments, consult a health practitioner.
Caution is advised when using hydrangea. Hydrangea may add to the effects of blood sugar balancing, antifungal, anti-malarial, antihistamine and cholesterol-lowering drugs, and drugs taken to prevent. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not use hydrangea root medicinally. Discuss hydrangea treatment with a qualified health practitioner prior to its use.
It is said that the hydrangea stands for friendship and devotion.
The root or flower can be used in dream magick, and in terms of love magick, hydrangea can be used to help you dream of a new love, or to dream of a solution to a problem in an existing relationship. Also represents vain and glory.
To break hexes, curses, or evil spells
