Brokers have an considerable opportunity to improve Australia’s financial literacy after a recent survey revealed some worrying results about mortgage literacy.
According to a survey released by Gateway Credit Union in partnership with McCrindle, more than six in 10 mortgage holders surveyed (61%) said that they did not completely understand what a ‘split’ home loan was. Similarly, almost two thirds (65%) admitted that they did not fully understand the difference between ‘interest rate’ and a ‘comparison rate’.
Paul Thomas, the chief executive of Gateway Credit Union told Australian Broker
that he wasn’t surprised by these statistics.
“I am absolutely not surprised. The reality is that on the one hand we say that today’s consumers are financially literate and savvy and I understand that, but this survey clearly shows there is a critical mass of the populous that really need help and guidance when it comes to selecting a credit provider for a home loan.”
According to Thomas, mortgage brokers are in a prime position to help fill the education gap.
“I truly do believe that brokers have a fabulous opportunity in this area to help educate Australians and help them make informed decisions. It actually cements their role in this whole value chain.”
A broker’s role in financial literacy education, says Thomas, is to take the emotion out of financial decisions.
“We define financial literacy [at Gateway] as the ability to make informed judgements and effective decisions about the use and management of money,” Thomas told Australian Broker
“The fundamental problem is that we have a head and we have a heart. Sometimes our head rules the decision that we make and sometimes our heart rules. I believe that a broker’s role is to ensure at all times that borrowers make decisions about financial transactions with their head – that they have the knowledge and the skills and the tools to make those decisions.
“That is where brokers can assist customers to make rationally driven decisions.”

Several styles make up this customization. We find, for example, on one of the sides:
- David Martinez, the protagonist of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. He became a mercenary and a member of Maine’s edgerunner crew in 2076, when he was involved in a series of harrowing events that resulted in him attaining the status of a Night City legend.
- Lucyna Kushinada, more commonly known as just Lucy, is a netrunner and the deuteragonist of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
On the other side of the PC, our artists have created a mix of stickers and graffiti. These make the model unique with a colour style inspired by Cyberpunk directly: yellow (predominant colour), green, black, and white. The front of the PC is composed of a LED spine that will light up to accompany you during your wildest games.
For this project, our artists also worked on the design of controllers inspired by the game. The first controller is customized in honour of Lucy, with colours centered around purple. The second controller is in the image of David Martinez. The two controllers are each composed of a hero and graffiti. You will notice on all the customizations of this project that our artists have voluntarily worked on the realization of traces of wear to give a unique style to this set.

The TCF-142 media converters are equipped with a multiple interface circuit that can handle RS-232 or RS-422/485 serial interfaces and multi-mode or single-mode fiber. TCF-142 converters are used to extend serial transmission up to 5 km (TCF-142-M with multi-mode fiber) or up to 40 km (TCF-142-S with single-mode fiber). The TCF-142 converters can be configured to convert either RS-232 signals, or RS-422/485 signals, but not both at the same time.
The TCF-142 converters can automatically detect the serial baudrate, which is an extremely convenient feature. Even if a device’s baudrate is changed, the signal will still be transmitted through the media converter without any data loss.
The TCF-142 converters can be used to connect serial devices to a fiber ring. To form the ring, connect the Tx port of one TCF-142 to the Rx port of a neighboring converter. Once the ring is set up, simply use the DIP switches to configure the TCF-142 converters for ring mode. When one node transmits a signal, the signal travels around the ring until it returns back to the transmitting unit, which then blocks the signal. With the TCF-142, you can set up fiber rings that have a total circumference of up to 100 km.
Automatic Data Direction Control (ADDC) is a hardware data flow solution developed by Moxa to handle RS-485 data direction control. ADDC senses and controls RS-485 data direction automatically, making it unnecessary to use the handshaking signal.

Decorah, Iowa—The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) —the nation’s leading philanthropy on health and health care—has awarded Youth M.O.V.E. National a $60,000 grant spanning seven years to help establish the RWJF Awards for Health Equity.
The RWJF Awards for Health Equity is supporting a total of 10 national membership organizations in finding and honoring individuals who are successfully using systems changes to address health disparities within their communities. RWJF believes that it is critical to improve systems that influence the determinants of health —such as public safety, employment, housing, education—in order to improve lives and reduce health disparities.
During this seven-year program, Youth M.O.V.E. National will independently solicit and evaluate nominations from their membership and select a winner for the award. Winners will be announced at Youth M.O.V.E. National’s Annual Meetings as well as at an annual recognition and learning event at RWJF that will highlight the work of all 10 winners. The organizations that have been selected to administer the awards program span several sectors including public health, health care, business, media, social justice, civic leadership, faith-based, education, community development, or philanthropy.
“As a nation, we will not be able to achieve a Culture of Health without ensuring that everyone has an equal opportunity to live in healthy environments, make healthy choices and receive quality health care” said Catherine Malone, DBA, MBA, program officer of the RWJF Awards for Health Equity. “By celebrating those who have successfully implemented systems changes related to the determinants of health, we hope to heighten awareness of the promising potential that systems changes have to eliminate health disparities in our society”.
“Youth M.O.V.E. National is a strong proponent of preparing youth to be true partners in community change with an understanding that said efforts will assist youth in achieving the best prospects to live longer healthier lives” said Raphaelle Richardson, Director of Resource and Development.

Like last year, I am using The Goodbye 2021 Hello 2022 planner this time as well. However, I didn’t do such a great job of updating it at the end of the first quarter. However, I sat with it over the weekend to do a mid-year check-in.
Every year I start with a short reading list. It is not an aspirational goal or a declaration of a challenge, just a small note to myself that I would like to read these books during the year.
I am an opportunistic reader. Or should I call myself a promiscuous reader?
I have a tendency to frequently stray from my stated reading goals. I easily fall prey to bright shiny book syndrome.
Why else would I buy more books or borrow a pile from the Singapore library when I have shelves overflowing with unread books at home?
Yet, when a book comes to my notice through book reviews and mentions by other readers or if I spot it on someone else’s desk/hand/reading list etc, I take a quick call – to read or not to read.
In Jan 2022, my list had 8 books. At the midpoint of the year I can confidently say that I have read 4 of those books! What about the rest you ask? I will get around to them, eventually. What surprised me greatly was the number of books I have read, even if they were not on my list. I have read at least 16 books in various formats – print, ebooks, audiobooks..
I have taken a detour from the original list but I am glad I did. Like life, that teaches us more when we veer off the beaten track, the books that I consumed on my detour were timely and relevant to my journey at that point.
Have you read any of the books in these grids?
In the first six months of 2022, I have sent out a newsletter every two weeks, as promised. In addition, I wrote 19 blogposts, several op-eds for the Straits Times including a piece about divorce, a topic that is close to my heart, essays for India Currents, and an unusual article titled Confessions of An Indie Author. I also wrote consistently on social media and made new friends.
Am I thinking of the next book? Of course I am. Stay tuned for updates.
The biggest achievement for 2022 this far has been the launch of my podcast, Rewriting YOUR Happily Ever After. In addition to featuring behind the scenes information about my book, I have interviewed three women who have shared their divorce stories. The goal of the book was to help break the silence and reduce the stigma around divorce. The best way to do so is to get people to speak up. And with the podcast, I am able to do so.
Other noteworthy updates
I made tremendous progress on my goal to learn new things. My intentions are good but sometimes, I am unable to keep my own promise. I began a course of study in Positive Psychology. If all had gone according to plan, I would have completed it in December 2021. However, it took me six extra months and I can say proudly that I have completed all the requirements of my Graduate Diploma in Advance Positive Psychology. Not only did I learn a lot, I also got to know interesting people and made good friends through the program.
Making new connections
I have lost track of all the online interactions I have done in the first 6 months – meetings with book clubs on Facebook, interactions on Instagram Live, and interviews on podcasts. One of the most satisfying aspects of the new found visibility I have as an author is the opportunity to make new friends. These are people who have read my book and felt the urge to connect. Some I have got to know over a phone call, some I have talked to while walking along a scenic route in Singapore and others I have come to know over a cup of tea.
The word I chose for this year (or rather the word chose me) is ‘savor’. It was a reminder to pay attention, be present, focus on life as it unfolded, instead of thinking about it as a stepping stone to the next moment.
It’s amazing how such a simple idea, to choose a word, can define the course of your days. From being an antidote for burnout, to allowing me to walk mindfully and do something as mundane as taking pictures with care, the word savor has improved the quality of my days.
In fact, I had to consciously learn to slow down and enjoy the moment on my recent holiday to India where I had sandwiched a short trip to the mountains in between two hectic phases.
The first six months of 2022 have been productive and fruitful. Yet, there are always things on my to-do list. The first among them is to produce the audiobook for Rewriting My Happily Ever After. The second is to move ahead with the next book. I’m sure there will be other new endeavors that I will pursue.
How has 2022 been for you?
Drop a comment and let me know. How do you track your year?

A high-speed railway running between Chattanooga and Atlanta has been talked about for the past 20-ish years or so. High-speed rail has been talked about linking different cities in Georgia: Savannah to Atlanta, Macon to Atlanta, Athens to Atlanta, Columbus to Atlanta, and there are multiple points in between that get talked about.
Alas, it’s been mostly talk, and GDOT talked about it some more this Tuesday in Dalton. Vaporware. An elusive golden unicorn that gets talked up about once every year or two, but it gets pushed to the back of the transportation novelty closet and nothing seems to happen with all the talk. I believe Georgia is a great state, and I believe other people see the potential for prosperity in Georgia…that’s why we’ve seen our population continue to increase. Studies look to see that growth continue and expand further outside of the current metro Atlanta region, and I don’t believe roads are going to be the sole answer to our problem of getting Georgians from Point A to Point B in an effective manner.
We live in an instant gratification society. If your 4G phone doesn’t pull up your Instagram feed in less than 2 seconds, then both your phone and your provider have failed (from your viewpoint at least). We want to travel, and we want to do so effectively and quickly. Sitting in traffic on the various Interstates in and around Atlanta for 45 to 60 minutes to travel less than 10 miles will not be tolerated by a new generation looking for opportunity in our state. A high-speed train network wouldn’t guarantee a draw of talent to the state, but it certainly wouldn’t help. I work in Chattanooga, so a high-speed link between Chattanooga and Atlanta would certainly give me a bit more communities to consider making my residence between my office in Chattanooga and Atlanta.
It’s something to consider, but the 900 lb. gorilla in the room will be how are we going to pay it while also keeping the roads maintained. That’s a good question, and we need to start consider different ways of funding our infrastructure. Gas taxes alone may be unsustainable in the future. My friend and fellow front pager Eric the Younger touched on that when discussing the Highway Trust Fund:
The gas tax has not been adjusted in 20 years, and in that 20 years the price of gas has gone up, cars are more efficient, and people are actually driving less. All this means that the current user fee is no longer acting like it should. If you drive a Leaf, you get to use roads for free and a prius gets to use them at a highly discounted rate compared to my 2001 Jeep Cherokee or my buddy’s 1968 Corvette and its gas gulping 427 V-8.
User fees, toll roads (real toll roads where the funds actually pay for the upkeep and maintenance on the road…not just a single toll booth planted at some seemingly random point on the road and calling it a toll road), per-mile taxes, or whatever. I’ll defer to the experts who study these things and get their opinion, but if we are wanting to 1.) plan for the future and grow Georgia in a sensible fashion that lets its citizens get from Point A to Point be and 2.) not be totally or at all reliant on federal subsidies to keep our transportation infrastructure updated and safe, then we will have to figure out what we can do to fund it.
We have some talking and decision making to be done. Let’s throw out the ideas and see what sticks.


Smart moves for Smart Mobility
What every working person hopes for in the morning, apart from a good cup of coffee, is a smooth journey into work.
One that’s cool, comfortable and — most importantly — convenient.
In just a few years, that journey could look something like this: a lift on GrabShare to the closest train station, a quick hop on the MRT, followed by a driverless shuttle ride to the office.
It’s a vision of the not-so-distant future — one that players in both the public and private sectors are working towards.
“Singaporeans have high expectations and demands for transportation,” said Mr Liu Feng-Yuan, Director of GovTech’s Government Digital Services Data Science Division.
He was speaking on 3 May 2017 at the InnovFest Unbound festival, as part of a four-person panel to discuss the topic of intelligent mobility. The festival, organised by NUS Enterprise and now in its third year, claims to be the place “where Asian Innovation meets the World.”
“I think what commuters really want is a seamless experience,” said Mr Liu.
A multi-modal transport system
As technologies improve, we edge further into an era of ‘smart mobility’, where infrastructure, transportation and travellers are increasingly interconnected.
It’s that sense of integration, the panelists agreed, that will help make the commuter’s journey seamless.
“The question is: how do you make the experience something you don’t have to think about?” asked Mr Liu.
For one, we need to tackle the numerous booking and payment systems that currently exist, which make for a fragmented experience, observed Ms Karen Tay, Director of Smart Nation’s North America office, who chaired the panel.
But before that, we need to stop thinking of transportation in the digital era as something planned or static, said Mr Liu.
While transport infrastructure has traditionally been seen as physical rail lines or bus stops, the reality today is that it is much more organic.
For example, with on-demand, ride-hailing services like Grab cars and SWAT shuttles, travellers aren’t bound by fixed routes or timetables anymore, he added.
“For me, the next great thing in transport is that we’ll use public and private systems in an interchangeable way,” shared another panelist, Ms Xin Wei Ngiam.
The Director of Strategy at Grab, a major ride-hailing player, added: “It’ll be multi-modal, using many different forms of transport and with different players providing different types of services.”
A thousand flowers blooming
Having numerous transport companies may seem contrary to the aim of providing a unified consumer experience, but panelist Mr Nick Jachowski, co-founder of mobility tech company SWAT, says it’s necessary for now.
“We know that the transportation landscape is going to undergo seismic shifts,” said Mr Jachowski, whose company offers taxi ride-sharing services. “Nobody knows exactly what it’s going to look like in the future, so that’s why everyone is placing all these different bets on different companies, technologies and visions.”
Fellow panelist Mr Doug Parker, COO of nuTonomy, agreed. There’s plenty of room for the mobility market to grow and for more contenders to enter the fray, he said, pointing out that the market will be worth an estimated $3-5 trillion in the next five years.
Autonomous vehicles are one way forward, and nuTonomy is testing self-driving technology both in Boston and in Singapore’s one-north business park.
“Right now, we’re in this stage where a thousand flowers are blooming in the mobility space,” commented Smart Nation’s Ms Tay.
A city that flows
Many assume that the transportation industry’s research and testing revolves around meeting the traveller’s needs. But the reality of smart mobility is that new technologies also enable many things other than helping people get to their destinations as quickly as possible.
For example, they also allow transport providers to optimise safety and reduce operational costs, and city planners to attain efficiency while minimising environmental pollution.
“The core of that technology is mobility optimisation,” said SWAT’s Mr Jachowski.
“We’re trying to move the highest number of people with the lowest number of vehicles, for the greatest public good. The vision we have is to use technology to move people in the most efficient way, so that the city really flies.”
nuTonomy has a similar aspiration, said Mr Parker. “Our goal is to help Singapore reduce car ownership, and to make sure that we’re not increasing traffic along public expressways and roads.”
Singapore, it seems, is an ideal setting to implement this strategy. With less than 10 percent of individuals owning cars, Singapore has the lowest car penetration of any major city, said Mr Jachowski, who grew up in the US.
“Try getting people like my dad to not use his car. It’s not going to happen,” he said, drawing laughter from the nearly 200-strong audience.
“We as the government want a car-lite society with people sharing vehicles,” said Mr Liu at the end of the session. “We don’t want the kind of gridlock you get in many other cities.”
“We want commerce to flow,” Mr Liu said. “Mobility is essential because we think mobility and connectivity are archways for economic trade within the city.”https://www.tech.gov.sg/media/technews/smart-moves-for-smart-mobility


Anita L. Davis, Former County Commissioner and
Lifelong Public Servant, Passed Away on Sunday
With sadness, the Leon County family recognizes the passing of long-serving community servant and former Leon County Commissioner Anita L. Davis, who died Sunday, January 17, 2021.
Anita Louise Porter Davis served the Leon County community in various capacities for over 40 years and leaves behind a legacy of public service leadership. As the first female African American elected to the Leon County Board of County Commissioners in 1990, Commissioner Davis served on the Board until 1996 and was the first African-American female chair of the Commission in 1993-94. Davis was central in leading County projects like the construction of new ballparks in Woodville, the southside library branch, and the health clinic now located on Old Bainbridge Road, among many other initiatives.
"Anita Davis took great pride in being a community servant, whether as president of the Tallahassee Branch of the NAACP, president of the Jake Gaither neighborhood association or as our first female African-American County Commissioner," said Leon County Commission Chairman Rick Minor. "Her dedication to service sets a high bar for all of us, and our thoughts and prayers go out to the many people she inspired during her lifetime."
After moving to Leon County with her family in 1979, Davis continued her commitment to public service. As a County Commissioner, Davis served as the liaison to the Lake Munson Action Team, which developed an action plan to restore Lake Munson. These efforts ultimately included the restoration of Lake Henrietta, located upstream along the Munson Slough. In 2018, Leon County Government honored Commissioner Davis with the naming of the County's Anita L. Davis Preserve at Lake Henrietta Park.
“As a beloved member of the Leon County family and this entire community, Anita Davis was committed to a life of tireless public service," said Leon County Administrator Vincent S. Long. "While she will be missed by so many, her legacy of service will last for generations."
Davis made many contributions to her community both during and after her time on the County Commission, serving as President of the Tallahassee Branch of the NAACP for 12 years, as NAACP ACT-SO Chair for 22 years and President of the Jake Gaither Neighborhood Association, to name just a few. Following her service on the Board of County Commissioners, she continued to serve on Leon County’s Human Services Grants Review Committee, which evaluates human service funding requests through the Community Human Services Partnership and makes recommendations to the Board.
"Anita Davis was a catalyst for bringing about so many positive changes in our community,” said Delaitre Hollinger, godson of Anita Davis and former President of the Tallahassee Branch of the NAACP. From securing single-member districts for our county commissioners and school board members; to being a strong advocate for civil rights; to spending countless hours mentoring young people, many of whom have gone on to serve in public office. She was one of the kindest, selfless and considerate individuals I've ever met. Our county, our community, our state and our nation are all better off because of her."

November celebrates Native American Heritage Month. With the rich and diverse cultures, traditions and histories of Native people, this month acknowledges the contributions that continue to be made by Native peoples. It is also an opportunity to educate ourselves on the oppression of native tribes and the systematic plundering of their lands and culture since the first settlers arrived on the continent. Please consult the resources for more information:
Story or Article
If we don't recognize the system, our inaction will uphold it.
The question is not whether I have been shaped by and participate in the forces of racism, it's how I've been shaped by them.
Structures of racism and privilege continue to put a serious toll on the African American community’s health — and contribute to the fact that black Americans are still dying younger than white Americans...
Great article on racism in public education system. “…add it all up and it’s a little weird that we progressives spend so much time talking about fixing brown people as opposed to the public institutions we’ve created for them and still control.”
How self-segregation and concentrated affluence became normal in America
Last year, a pair of researchers from Duke University published a report with a bold title: "The End of the Segregated Century." U.S. cities, the authors concluded, were less segregated in 2012 than they had been at any point since 1910. But less segregated does not necessarily mean integrated–something this incredible map makes clear in vivd color.
“…white resentment simply found a new target for its ire is no coincidence; white identity is often defined by its sense of being ever under attack, with the system stacked against it. That’s why Mr. Trump’s policies are not aimed at ameliorating white resentment, but deepening it.”
Two hundred fifty years of slavery. Ninety years of Jim Crow. Sixty years of separate but equal. Thirty-five years of racist housing policy. Until we reckon with our compounding moral debts, America will never be whole.
Short personal reflection on the specific privileges afforded to whites through the GI Bill and Homestead Act. Great read.
My father had a legacy that he couldn't see, a legacy he only got because he is white.
"A Time of Grace" is the story of [Sacred Heart and Our Lady’s Collaborative]’s resettlement of a refugee family, the Komi family. This twenty page booklet is now available on the collaborative website at http://sholnewton.org/refugees. Printed copies are also available at the parish offices.

Athletics Canada has named five more members to the upcoming World Championship squad in Doha. Natasha Wodak, Mohammed Ahmed, Mathieu Bilodeau, Rachel Seaman and Evan Dunfee have all been named to the team.
Wodak has been named in the 10,000m, which is no surprise, considering the season she’s had. Wodak ran a 31:46.26 at Payton Jordan to hit world standard and come painfully close to breaking her own Canadian record of 31:41.59. She followed up that performance with a win at the Canadian 10,000m championships, which doubled as the worlds qualifier.
Ahmed made Canadian history this summer, becoming the first Canadian to run under 13 minutes over 5,000m. He ran 12:58.16 at the Rome Diamond League to finish sixth in the race. His nomination for the team is likely based on his 2018 performance in the 10,000m at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, where he ran a 27:20.56.
Considering Ahmed’s recent 5,000m performance, it’s likely that he will attempt a double–racing both the 10,000m and 5,000m at Worlds. However, the rest of the team, including the 5,000m selects, won’t be named until after the national trials in Montreal at the end of July.
Bilodeau and Dunfee have both been named to the team for the 50K race walk and Seaman for the 20K race walk.
Athletics Canada named their first two marathon nominations earlier this month. John Mason and Lyndsay Tessier were both named to the team, with Tessier making her first-ever national team at age 41.

Aspects of Nature
By Rhoda Rabinowitz Green
Aspects of Nature is a collection of short stories by Rhoda Rabinowitz Green.
As eight of the 11 stories have previously been published elsewhere over the past 23 years, the collection is thus a kind of short story itself; a memory of what has come before and what is most current; a recollection that is a guide to the author’s interests in the past and what they have become. This is, in fact, a key theme that links the stories: a set of searches for the meaning of one’s own life and identity, and the challenges we face in putting and keeping our “selves” together as people.
In “Finding Maryan,” the author’s empathy, care and admiration are fully expressed even as she recounts the difficult struggles of Maryan Filar, a young prodigy caught up in the Holocaust, a survivor who finds a way to begin again after the war and to reinsert himself into world of classical piano masters. Nor does she shy away from the challenges of the aging musician as memories fade.
“Finding Maryan” is a remembrance of a brilliant musician, a search by the narrator to find the musician, and a simultaneous recounting of the musician’s life and his own search for himself, which ends after his memory of the past has faded. “As for rediscovering those who were part of who he was and is … as for them, he’ll find them in his book.” It is the longest story in the collection and the most fully realized.
Other stories that deal with memory and age show similar empathy and care while highlighting the barriers the aged and their offspring and friends meet as the contexts of their lives evolve away from each other. In “You Make Your Decision,” the husband, concerned with career, and the wife, afraid of never finding her identity, never succeed in fully discussing their differences, a pattern that threatens to repeat itself with respect to their children.
Barriers to communication play a central role in many of the stories, including “Shayndeleh,” “The Day of the Gorgon,” “What’s Going On Here, Anyway,” “Out to Lunch With the Girls” and “Shayndeleh’s Real Estate.” These, and the stories I discussed above, were the ones I enjoyed the most and felt were most real.
The other three stories include two that are letters to doctors: “Dear Doctor” and “Age Appropriate.” They have their own pleasures related to style and humour, but they struck me as being in a lighter vein. The letters are both written by a character named Rose Enfeld, whose voice and style might sound familiar to those in Toronto’s Jewish community. “I heard your name mentioned, Doctor, when eavesdropping on three women seated at a table next to mine in Yorkville’s Le Paradis Bistro.” Nevertheless, they touch on issues of health and identity including who decides to schedule mammograms and whether plastic surgery is necessary.
The story I had the most difficulty relating to was “Aspects of Nature,” the story that gave the book its title. It concerns a set of six acquaintances with some history with each other, along with a relative newcomer from Trinidad. They have gathered for a weekend dinner at a home of the hosts, Roger and Carrie, who insist on calling the home a cottage and the dinner formal. Except for Roger and Carrie, there are no couples. The story concerns the banter and tensions among these characters as the weather builds up to a storm. The characters do not develop and some remained cyphers to me throughout. They were there as devices. Perhaps Green should have removed the characters that do not contribute much and focused on the tensions among those remaining. It would still have been possible to conclude with the actual last line: “Aspects of nature unresolved?”
Overall, this is an excellent collection of stories that touch on key aspects of human nature. Green has a flexible style, which she adapts to the nature of the particular story she is telling and slips easily into a satiric and humorous expression that amuses. But, to me, she is most successful in dealing sympathetically with the human condition and the search to give our past and present a coherent meaning.

Eurocopter, January 12, 2012 - Moscow - UTair Aviation has received its initial three Eurocopter AS350 B3e enhanced helicopters as this leading Russian and CIS operator builds up the largest fleet of Ecureuil family rotary-wing aircraft in the region.
These AS350 B3s are among 20 aircraft ordered from the Eurocopter Ecureuil product line in 2010 by UTair, marking the biggest contract for light helicopters ever placed in Russia and CIS. Certification of the AS350 B3e variant was issued by the area’s Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC) civil aviation authority in December 2011.
“We are happy to have the new AS350 B3e helicopters in our fleet,” commented UTair Aviation CEO Andrey Martirosov. “These helicopters have improved flight safety and high reliability. They are powerful and more efficient, which enables us to offer a competitive product in the helicopter services market to our customers in oil and gas industry.”
The AS350 B3e is an enhanced version of Eurocopter’s single-engine AS350 B3, offering a high-performance helicopter capable of carrying out the most demanding missions in extreme weather and geographical conditions. Its exceptional lifting capability, high endurance, extended range and fast cruise speed make the AS350 B3e the leader in its class.
“With the AS350 B3e now certificated by the IAC, we have initiated deliveries of this latest member in one of the world’s most popular helicopter families to UTair Aviation, which is an industry leader in its own right,” said Laurence Rigolini, the CEO of Eurocopter’s Russian-based subsidiary, Eurocopter Vostok.
Features of the AS350 B3e include the Turbomeca Arriel 2D turboshaft engine with a new-generation digital FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) and an engine data recorder for condition monitoring. The integration of Eurocopter’s dual-screen Vehicle and Engine Multifunction Display (VEMD) in the cockpit allows pilots to check primary aircraft and engine parameters in one glance – thus reducing workload and enhancing safety. Eurocopter’s application of composite materials for the helicopter’s airframe, rotors and main rotor head gives the AS350 B3e the best protection against corrosion, thereby reducing maintenance costs.
UTair Aviation will use the new helicopters for oil and gas pipeline patrols, surveillance missions, VIP transportation and cargo airlift in Russia – including Western and Central Siberia.
The milestone 20-aircraft Ecureuil family order placed by UTair in 2010 was composed of 13 AS350 B3e helicopters, an AS350 B3, and six of the twin-engine AS355 NP versions. Deliveries from this contract began in 2011 – including one of the AS355 NPs, as well as the AS350 B3 – and will continue through 2013, with the aircraft reinforcing a Eurocopter-built fleet operated by UTair since 2006 that also includes AS355 N and BO105 rotary-wing aircraft.
Additionally, UTair Aviation is the launch customer for Eurocopter’s new EC175, having placed an order for 15 of these seven metric ton-category helicopters in 2011.
About UTair Aviation
UTair Aviation is the world’s largest airline in terms of fleet having more than 330 helicopters of all classes. The base of the airline’s fleet is made of Mil and Eurocopter helicopters. UTair Aviation is the largest helicopter service provider to the UN with which it cooperates since 1992. In Russia the main UTair customers for helicopter works are the leading oil and gas companies. In 2011, UTair carried out helicopter operations in Russia and ten foreign countries.
About Eurocopter Vostok
Eurocopter Vostok, a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary of Eurocopter SAS, was created in 2006 to provide sales, customer support, and to implement fleet follow-up in Russia and the CIS. More than 140 Eurocopter helicopters currently are operating throughout Russia and the CIS countries – bringing the Eurocopter Group’s share of the Russian and CIS gas turbine market for Western turbine-engine helicopters to more than 70 percent.
Established in 1992, the Franco-German-Spanish Eurocopter Group is a division of EADS, a world leader in aerospace, defense and related services. The Eurocopter Group employs approximately 17,500 people. In 2010, Eurocopter confirmed its position as the world’s number one helicopter manufacturer in the civil and parapublic market with a turnover of 4.8 billion Euros, orders for 346 new helicopters and a 49 percent market share in the civil and parapublic sectors. Overall, the Group’s helicopters account for 33 percent of the total worldwide civil and parapublic fleet. Eurocopter’s strong worldwide presence is ensured by its 30 subsidiaries and participations on five continents, along with a dense network of distributors, certified agents and maintenance centers. There are currently 11,200 Eurocopter helicopters in service and some 2,900 customers in 147 countries. Eurocopter offers the largest civil and military helicopter range in the world.

A 29-year-old Cameroonian lady by name Gisele Itale Betandi was stabbed to death by her Cameroonian ex-husband in Montréal, Canada.
The incident took place on Thursday, September 8, 2022, while the victim was about to leave her residence.
According to reports, the incident happened at a parking lot at Gisele’s residence. The latter was about taking her children to school when she was stabbed by the father of the kids aged 3, 2, and 2 months.
She was stabbed under the watchful eyes of these tender children.
It is reported that Gisele had been a victim of abuse by her husband countless times before she finally decided to run and settle elsewhere with her children. In this light, she filed for a divorce after which her husband, said to be in his 50s, was warned never to approach her.
However, last Thursday turned sour for her as she was stabbed to death by the said ex-husband.
The assailant after attempting to escape was however apprehended by the forces of law and order.

"On December 22, a magazine was distributed along with various newspapers claiming that charges levelled on Asaram Bapu are false, and he is being framed as a part of a conspiracy. After this, the father of the girl, who was allegedly sexually assaulted by Asaram, lodged a police complaint saying although Asaram is lodged in jail, his aides are trying to kill them," Superintendent of Police (city) Dinesh Tripathi said.
Acting on the complaint, police registered a case under relevant sections of the IPC pertaining to rioting and criminal intimidation against Asaram, Bhagwan Bharti (Asaram's daughter) and 10 other people, SP Tripathi said.
The survivor, now 20, was allegedly raped by Asaram at his Jodhpur ashram in August 2013.

Liver Cancer Diagnostics Demand Analysis (2017-2021) in Comparison to Market Estimations (2022-2032)
Instances of cancer have seen a substantial rise over the past decade, and this rise is expected to be seen through this decade as well. Liver cancer cases have seen a gradual increase as the lifestyle of people has changed drastically over the years. The prevalence of obesity due to poor eating habits is one of the major factors responsible for the increase in liver cancer across the world.
Rising consumption of tobacco and alcohol is also a major lifestyle change that has promoted the disease, in turn, giving rise to more demand for effective liver cancer diagnostics. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) diagnostics and liver carcinoma diagnostics are two major diagnostic methods that are in demand and expected to be prominent over the decade. Demand for liver cancer diagnostics is anticipated to rise at a robust CAGR of 8.2% over the 2022 to 2032 forecast period.
