Dave, Ben and I drove down to New Jersey early in the morning, arriving to New Jersey at roughly 10:30am. After grabbing some breakfast at a local diner, we went to the stadium to pick a spot to paddock with the rest of the NER crew. The rain definitely put a damper on things a bit, but that didn't stop anyone from setting up and doing some practice launches later in the afternoon. I have never done a drag race event, let alone aggressively launch my car, so I really did not know what to expect. Thanks to the Evolution School Intro class I took, I got to take a few practice launches after learning the format of the entire event. I surprisingly had a much faster reaction time than I expected...And probably more than everyone else expected as well. I was getting a reaction time of low 0.5's during my practice launches, with the venue being fairly damp.
I figure that if the most power is produced above 4,000RPM, especially around 5-6, then I would slip the clutch right between 4-5, that way when it would catch, I would be at just about 6,000RPM. After finishing my practice launches, I had spoken with the Kuehls. Brian unfortunately injured his shoulder very badly, so he could not drive his CRX with his father, Don. He had asked if I minded that Ben and him switch places, so that Brian would then be co-driving with me. Ben and I preferred if Ben stayed with my car so we could push it to the limits and see the full potential of the RX-8, but we did not want to leave Brian hanging, so we accepted. Needless to say, Brian is still a fast driver himself, regardless that he's used to racing a front wheel drive car.

YOUR STORY YOUR SONG
CRUSHIN ON
From their first jam together, India and Nath's musical connection was obvious, and it only continues to grow. There's a sweetness and light to their musical offering that perfectly compliments the simple message of love.
From their first jam together, India and Nath's musical connection was obvious, and it only continues to grow. There's a sweetness and light to their musical offering that perfectly compliments the simple message of love. This duo will pick you up and carry you to the other end of the rainbow to a fairytale place where innocence and aching nostalgia reign.
Drawing inspiration from a wide array of musical idols including Norah Jones, John Butler, The Beatles, Alanis Morrisette, Ed Sheeran and Stevie Wonder, India and Nath describe their sound as an eclectic mix of pop, soul, jazz and alternative. Each one adds creative fills, including vocal percussion and stomp box beats, which deepen the complexity of their sound. Miss Swift is the pair's not-so-secret guilty pleasure… and, let's be honest, who doesn't love a bit of Tay-Tay?!
India grew up running wild and free in the countryside and listening to country music. This is probably where her obsession with denim first started, which led to life as a serial jean collector (17 pairs and counting). Sure, she can't whistle or click to save her life, but what she lacks in coordination she more than makes up for in tender tunefulness that's grounded in creative improvisational flair.
A trained primary teacher, Nathan is well versed in the art of entertaining a rowdy audience. Like India, he grew up in country Victoria where his family's love of animals saw them caring for a menagerie of close to one hundred pets! His clever finger picking style works in perfect harmony with India's quirky tone, allowing the duo to put a unique spin on well-loved contemporary songs.

On 14 August, the Morandi motorway bridge collapsed.
What remains is a severed road that empties into thin air, a structure that shifts and rumbles in high wind. Close to the edge stands a truck, abandoned on the spot when its owner fled on that terrible morning.
The Morandi bridge was part of the fabric of everyday life in this north Italian port city – it was the main entrance point from the west, used by roughly 25 million vehicles every year.
When a 200-metre section collapsed in torrential rain this summer, 43 people died.
They were holidaymakers carrying buckets and spades, locals on their daily commute, maintenance workers on the ground who were buried by concrete and twisted metal.
On Sunday, Genoa's two Serie A football teams – Genoa and Sampdoria – met for the first time since the disaster on an emotional evening at the Luigi Ferraris stadium, a ground the rival clubs have shared since 1946.
BBC Sport reports from a city united in solidarity, anger and hope.
A former Cagliari and Italy Under-20 goalkeeper, the 34-year-old is now a firefighter.
Having finished work earlier that morning, he was on his way to buy tickets to see Genoa play. The day before he'd gone too, but the office had been closed.
"It was when I had almost reached the middle of the bridge that I heard a deep, loud rumbling noise," he remembers.
"Suddenly I saw the asphalt starting to crumble apart, and I fell.
"My car flew down for about 40 metres before landing, wedged into a gap in a stretch of road that had crashed down in front of me. The airbags exploded all around and broken glass was everywhere.
"I thought I was going to die. I was resigned to it, helpless. But I walked out on my own two feet.
"After a time I could hear the voices of rescuers. I climbed the rubble, up and out onto a street where I could see ambulances.
It took its name from engineer Riccardo Morandi. He designed similar bridges in Colombia, Libya and Venezuela before his death in 1989.
The one in Genoa was completed in 1967 and was heralded for its innovative use of materials, but maintenance costs spiralled over the years.
A 2011 report by the company responsible for its upkeep, Autostrade per l'Italia, said it was suffering from decay. On the day it fell, maintenance work was being carried out on its foundations.
An investigation is ongoing, and Italian prosecutors have been considering charging 20 people with involuntary manslaughter.
"Those responsible owe a great debt to the victims and their families," Capello says. "We have to have answers.
"It was a momentous disaster for the whole of Italy, an enormous tragedy. My survival is a question of a lot of luck. I think about that. I dream about what happened every night.
"I am slowly trying to move forward and return to my previous life although it is not easy because the memory of that day keeps coming back. I cannot forget it.
"It was a brutal experience. But little by little, and with psychological help, I am trying to overcome it and go back to my previous life.
On the morning of 14 August, Andrea was waiting for Daniela to come home. Their wedding was a month away and everything had been meticulously planned.
With the big day to look forward to, Andrea was one day into two weeks' holiday. Daniela was still working, but later that afternoon they were going to his grandfather's old house in the countryside, in Caranzone, 80km to the north of Genoa.
Andrea was tidying up, putting the espresso cups away, when he saw a flash of lightning from his kitchen window. Then he heard a very loud noise. His flat was almost directly under the bridge.
"It was like a bomb. I looked around but couldn't see anything, my windows don't look out to the bridge so I came out into the street," he says.
"It was raining like the apocalypse. I thought maybe there had been a gas pipe explosion, maybe a water pipe, maybe there were people working. I was worried because there is a petrol station very close by.
"I called Daniela, I asked her if she was OK and told her about what I had heard. I went to look on the other side of my building and there… a piece of the bridge was just not there any more.
Their street, via Enrico Porro, was now cordoned off, in the red zone. The only way was through the trees, so Andrea grabbed his moped and escaped, pushing it through the flowerbeds and undergrowth in his sodden T-shirt and a pair of shorts. Hermes, their cat, was luckily already safe with Daniela's parents, in preparation for their trip away.
The couple squeezed into Andrea's parents' home. It wasn't easy but they carried on in their jobs, continued preparations for their wedding and were allowed to make two two-hour trips back to their flat, under the strict supervision of the fire brigade.
They were only allowed in if the weather was fine; there was still a risk more of the bridge would fall. An officer would lead them through it, and mark the date and duration of their visit by writing on the wall outside the flat's front door. This wasn't home any more.
Andrea, 34, and Daniela, 30, married on 17 September. Both felt it represented something more beautiful than they could have asked for. It made the front page of the city's major newspaper Il Secolo XIX. Some 566 other people had been displaced, and many saw hope and optimism in their story.
In San Biagio, to the north of the city, the couple have just moved in to an empty flat, provided by the local government. They can return to their old house one more time before it is destroyed when the bridge is brought down. Demolition is scheduled for mid-December, and it is planned a new bridge will be completed by the spring of 2020.
For the moment their new place is all unopened boxes, and Hermes the cat is still with Daniela's mum and dad.
That they have a fridge is thanks to funds collected by Sampdoria and their federation of supporter clubs. One of several initiatives run by both the city's major teams, it raised 40,000 euros (£35,400) to help those forced to leave their homes. An avid Sampdoria fan himself, Andrea is immensely grateful.
As for the game, he says: "You win the derby with courage, strength and character. They are always special matches, but this was different.
The firecrackers started three hours before kick-off, echoing up and down the river valley by the stadium long enough and loud enough to scare off the family of wild boar that had strayed in for some evening grazing.
The Stadio Luigi Ferraris started life in 1911, as Genoa's ground. This year the club are celebrating their 125th anniversary – they lay claim to being Italy's oldest. When Sampdoria were formed in 1946 – as Sampierdarenese and Andrea Doria merged – they moved in too.
Outside the stadium, the most enthusiastic among each tribal set of fans gathered in their own corners, territory long since claimed for the rudest words, the loudest songs, the brightest lights.
In between was a busy normality through which walked relaxed couples split across colours; mum in Sampdoria blue, dad in Genoa red, each with a tight grasp on their child's hand and mind.
That these two rival teams share their home, even on derby day, helps to make their meetings unique. The 'Derby della Lanterna' – so named after Genoa's 12th-century lighthouse – has a nominal home and away side, but each set of supporters has a whole end of the ground to themselves, and the stands on either side are mixed.
Both clubs have done an awful lot already to support and pay tribute to victims of the Morandi bridge disaster.
Having postponed their opening fixtures of the season, the two teams attended a state funeral together, although some families of the victims stayed away, reportedly out of anger at the government over allegations of negligence.
When Genoa played Empoli on 26 August – the first home match for either of the city's sides since the disaster – fans watched the first 43 minutes in silence in tribute to those killed.
To mark a month since the collapse, both clubs halted their training sessions at 11:36 exactly, in remembrance of the tragic event.
On Sunday – three months and 11 days since the bridge fell – it seemed Genoa and Sampdoria both preferred to look forward. There was no minute's silence, no black armbands and no joint team photo. Instead, a special montage video appealed to opposite sets of fans to take pride in the city they share.
All of which lasted a very brief time indeed before the two polar ends of the stadium – the Gradinata Nord and the Gradinata Sud – picked up where they had left off, absorbed in a spectacular display of affection towards their teams.
As in so many sporting rivalries, it is an affection in no small portion defined by wild opposition to the other.
Sampdoria went ahead early. Veteran striker Fabio Quagliarella headed home from Gaston Ramirez's cross in the eighth minute.
When Krzysztof Piatek scored his 10th goal of the season to level for Genoa from the penalty spot it seemed like the momentum had shifted. There were some of the loudest noises I have heard in my life emanating from the buoyant red-and-black end.
Genoa's 23-year-old Polish forward Piatek is the Serie A top scorer, although this was his first goal in six games. So when he hung in the air to meet an Oscar Hiljemark cross, there was another fizzing moment of expectation.
It pinged off the back of his head and away. Just the one goal between Piatek and Juventus' Cristiano Ronaldo at the top of the scoring charts then, and another chance gone with time running out.
Perhaps the frustration got to Genoa boss Ivan Juric. Soon afterwards he was sent off for arguing over a referee's decision. "You have no soul! This is a derby!" he was reported to have shouted in response.
At the final whistle, players from both sides went over to their supporters and threw their shirts into the stands. Genoa captain Domenico Criscito threw his shorts over too.
After a short time only the fans were left. They stayed behind to sing a little longer, and to insult each other a little more privately.
But how fitting that this derby, in a city which has shared so much, should end in a draw.
Next PSG, Liverpool champions league match, Klopp complained.

Bigger airport terminal building by '2020
Surat: Come 2020, the terminal building at Surat airport will be much bigger and swankier. Airports Authority of India (AAI) has invited tender applications for expansion of the existing terminal building to accommodate increasing passenger traffic and facilitate smooth operations of airlines.
Passengers and airport crusaders were running a campaign for a couple of years for the expansion of the terminal building. The campaign was intensified after AirAsia and IndiGo began operations from the city which swelled the number of passengers travelling to various destinations from 2,000 per day to over 3,000. Passenger traffic from Surat airport crossed a historic milestone of one lakh passengers in September. The total passenger traffic in the financial year 2018-19, until September-2018, was registered at 4.72 lakh.
At present, the airport is served by Air India, AirAsia, IndiGo, SpiceJet, Air Odisha and Ventura Airconnect. The airport handles about 46 flight movements-arrival and departure-per day to various destinations. About 3,000 passengers travel daily to and from Surat airport, against capacity of existing terminal building to handle 250 passengers per hour only.

Iran exported over 5 billion cubic meters (bcm) of natural gas during the first five months of the current Iranian calendar year (March 21-August 22), Dispatching director of National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC) announced.
Gazprom Neft has shipped its second and largest cargo of Iraqi crude to the US since the Badra field, its flagship overseas oil project, came on stream in 2014, the Russian oil company said Tuesday.
Iran has exported an average of more than 2.6 million barrels of oil and gas condensate per day last month (July 23- Aug 22), Minister of Petroleum Bijan Zangeneeh said.
The completion of the second review allows the authorities to draw the equivalent of SDR 584.2 million (about US$ 824.8 million), bringing total disbursements to SDR 1494.2 million about US$ 2109.7 million. The SDR 3.831 billion arrangement (about US$5.34 billion at the time of approval of the arrangement) was approved in July, 2016 and the first review was completed on December 5, 2016.

"I thought we got beat in every area." This quote from New Orleans coach Sean Payton pretty much says it all. Rebounding from last week's thrashing at Tampa Bay, the Carolina Panthers took the bite out of Drew Brees' prolific passing attack. The Saints have now fallen to 0-3 on the road, after their 30-7 loss yesterday afternoon in Charlotte.
The Panthers thoroughly dominated New Orleans, moving to 4-0 at Bank of America Stadium. Saints quarterback Brees was held to a season low 231 yards, after passing for at least 320 yards and two touchdowns in the last six games. He was harassed all afternoon by the resurgent Julius Peppers, as clearly the vaunted New Orleans offensive line had trouble containing the defensive end. Brees completed 21 of 39 passes, with one interception, and uncharacteristically struggled with accuracy.
Peppers has returned to his All-Pro form and generally showed up all over the field; he had three tackles, with two for a loss, a deflected pass, a forced fumble, and a sack. His strip of tight end Jeremy Shockey in the second quarter turned the momentum back to the Panthers, as the Saints had taken a 7-3 lead. Panthers standout safety Chris Harris recovered the fumble, and they were able to capitalize on it with an 18-yard TD from rookie running back Jonathan Stewart, set up by a beautiful 19-yard catch from Steve Smith.
Carolina's defense also had two tremendous 4th down stands, with one being near the endzone, and dashing most of New Orleans' comeback hopes early in the 4th quarter. Moreover, they combined for numerous deflected passes, and cornerback Ken Lucas had a pick.
New Orleans marvel Reggie Bush gained 55 yards on 9 carries, and had only one catch for 5 yards before aggravating a knee injury trying to spark the offense at the end of the first half. Unfortunately he was not to return, and looks to miss their upcoming game in London at the very least. The return of Jeremy Shockey and Marques Colston to the League's leading offense was not quite as potent as one may had thought. Shockey appeared hampered by his recently-repaired sports hernia, and Colston was impeded by the splint for his thumb.
Carolina QB Jake Delhomme spread the ball around, hitting seven different receivers for at least one catch; star wideout Steve Smith had 6 catches for 122 yards, and one amazing touchdown. Delhomme managed to hit Smith in between two New Orleans defenders, and Smith made a dandy catch on his back. It was good to see #89 in the endzone again; it was starting to miss him. While Smith and fellow wideout Muhsin Muhammad have not gotten their usual plethora of touchdowns this far into the season, they have quietly set up a lot of nice touchdown runs for their teammates, and some exceptional blocks, as well.
Jonathan Stewart rushed for 68 yards and a touchdown, and DeAngelo Williams rushed for 66 yards, with a receiving touchdown.
Delhomme went 14 of 22 for 195 yards, with 2 touchdowns, and most importantly, no picks. He more than redeemed himself for the dismal outing at Tampa Bay last Sunday.
New Orleans faces a hungry San Diego team at Wembley Stadium in London next week, and the Panthers are at home against the surprising Arizona Cardinals.
Congratulations Carolina fans. That team is going to be very tough to beat. They just don't quit. See you in the playoffs.

A: I already had a problem with model definition.
It was fixed by adding the third parameter to mongoose.model (the explicit collection name)

// Try to replace :
var collectionName = 'users';
var USERSCHEMA=Mongoose.Schema(userSchema);
var User = Mongoose.model(collectionName, USERSCHEMA);
// with:
var collectionName = 'users';
var USERSCHEMA=Mongoose.Schema(userSchema);
var User = Mongoose.model(collectionName, USERSCHEMA, collectionName);

the collectionName must be set either in the schema definition or in the model definition. for more details see here

Home Sea National Shipbuilding Strategy criticised for undermining UK capability

National Shipbuilding Strategy criticised for undermining UK capability
Paul Sweeney, MP for Glasgow North East, discussed issues surrounding the National Shipbuilding Strategy during a debate on UK sovereign capability in Parliament.
Paul Sweeney is a Scottish Labour politician and has been the Member of Parliament for Glasgow North East since 2017. More importantly in this context, he was formerly employed by BAE in Glasgow. Paul has worked with the APPG for Shipbuilding which has begun an inquiry into the Government's National Shipbuilding Strategy, taking evidence from a range of maritime security stakeholders and industry.
Sweeney stated that the strategy has been "used as cover to reduce the scope of ships that are qualified to built in the UK". The MP said it reduced the types of ships that must be built in the UK to frigates, destroyers and aircraft carriers, saying that the NSS was "restricting the scope of orders that can go through UK shipyards".
Paul pointed out that the previous Terms of Business Agreement had provisions for most Royal Navy and RFA vessel types to be UK built and added that the new strategy "falls short on how it's going to deliver" industrial benefits due to lack of investment caused by a lack of certainty over future orders, driving up costs of the vessels that are actually ordered meaning of course, less are eventually ordered.
I messaged Paul earlier in the year to discuss the prospect of yards around the UK beginning steady and sustainable production of new vessels using future programmes as a basis.
"The greatest flaw to have plagued British naval shipbuilding since the 1980s is the issue of small batch classes of escort vessels, especially when subject to competitive tendering. Contrast that with the United States, which has been building the Arleigh Burke class since the 1980s.
In the UK small batch numbers and a lack of certainty over production locations have militated against efficiency curves from long production runs and created feast and famine dead weights on shipyards which bleed skills and knowledge."
Referring to the current issues around the tendering of the Fleet Solid Support ships internationally, he said during the debate:
"We're seeing the government happy to tender contracts overseas in international open competition which quite easily under the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (article 346) could be designated as UK protected builds. It's entirely at their discretion to do that. Any notion that their hands are tied is bogus."
What is Article 346?
EU law requires most government contracts to be procured via an open, competitive process. The main EU legislation in the defence domain is the Defence and Security Directive 2009/81/EC, transposed into UK law by Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011.13
However, Article 346 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) provides for an exemption to the procurement rules where a country considers it to be necessary for national security reasons: "any Member State may take such measures as it considers necessary for the protection of the essential interests of its security which are connected with the production of or trade in arms, munitions and war material". Article 346 refers to a list drawn up in 1958 by the Council of Ministers of products to which the provisions
The Government's procurement plans for up to three new support ships for the Royal Fleet Auxiliary are facing opposition from defence analysts, Labour, the SNP trade unions and many others.
"This model should be further extended to maintaining big ship construction of vessels with a beam larger than 20m at Rosyth dockyard, by ensuring a continuous production run after the Queen Elizabeth class is complete by building the new Royal Fleet Auxiliary Fleet Solid Support ships and then the successor to the Albion class there", Sweeney advised.
According to a briefing paper in the House of Commons library released earlier, the programme is currently in the Assessment Phase with the competition expected to be formally launched towards the end of 2018 and a contract signed in 2020. The MoD says the contract will be for two ships with an option for a third.
The briefing paper states:
"The Government intends to compete the contract internationally. Labour, the SNP and the shipbuilding trade unions argue the contract should be restricted to UK shipyards to support the shipbuilding industry, secure jobs and retain skills. They argue the proposed ships are 'warships' and as such, the Government can use the Article 346 exemption to exclude the contract from EU procurement rules on national security grounds."
The TUC has also assessed the Article 346 exemption argument and argues the Government "has the sole right to determine" what its essential national security interests are. The TUC claims "other European nations have used the exemption to place orders for similar support ships with their own shipyards since the Directive was introduced."
December this year will see the formal issue of documentation inviting bids for the design and build contract and in 2020, the contract for design and build is to be awarded.
Paul also explained that building the new Royal Fleet Auxiliary Fleet Solid Support ships and then the successor to the Albion class in Rosyth would be of huge benefit to UK shipbuilding and allow for at least four primary shipbuilding sites.
Towards the end of the debate Sweeney responded to remarks that only 'complex warships' should be built in the UK by pointing out that the construction of auxiliary vessels has allowed the UK to retain the skills to build complex warships and after citing the example of RFA Wave Ruler and more recently the five River class ships being built on the Clyde to sustain the workforce at the yard, he said:
"By utilising those less complex nut nonetheless complex warships, by smoothing that build cycle, we retain the skills, we maintain the infrastructure, we retain the critical mass to build to build the complex warships which includes frigates, destroyers and aircraft carriers.
We have to look beyond that arbitrary restriction and maximise the purchasing power of the Ministry of Defence to deliver UK sovereign capability."
This would also allow for industry that would become sustainable, ships to become cheaper and hopefully, the Royal Navy to afford more hulls.

This "National Ship building Strategy" He speaks of is basically Scotland. Nothing left south of the Border now, Staggeringly !
Yes but at least he is making and argument we need to get rest of uk MPs to do their bit too and have 4/5 site where we can build ships and have an planned order book for a decade at least so that yards invest in infrastructure which will make them more competitive in the future. By all means allow foreign companies to build ships but they have to be done j the U.K. with investment in infrastructure to support that or rent infrastructure from existing builders.
Reply to DRS
But, We had 4 or 5 Sites up until a few Years ago, And the last one Capable of building Entire Warships, has just been Shut Down. Gone are the Days of Devonport, Chatham, Portsmouth and Newcastle. F26's are purely Scottish, F31's will be Bit Part English but probably Assembled on the Clyde.(That's If the Government ever actually get their act together and order them. "At least 5 " was the boast a couple of Years back, Oh Yeah, We'll see about that.
Cam Hunter
Reply to captain P Wash.
The boast was because they are cutting the type26 to 8 hulls they will build 5 type 31s and probably more increasing RN hull numbers. We will 100% get 5 type 31s but they pretty much promised more than 5! But I can't see that happening…
Austin l l
"Last one capable of building entire warships,has just been shut down " ? Govan and Rosyth both are capable of building complete warships it was the UK Government that dictated that the type 45 s would be built in parts around the UK not the builders, it also added approximately a third to the overall cost again it was the government that thought little of this extra cost.
Type 31e won't be assembled on the clyde they will either be built in Merseyside bae offering or in Rosyth babcock offering please do your research instead of this little englander rhetoric it's about UK shipbuilding. With your argument your letting the govt, the party of Brexit off the hook for their anti UK manufacturing agenda how ironic.
Devonport, Chatham, Portsmouth?
They have not built warships for 50 +years.
Reply to Gunbuster
The last at Portsmouth – 1966 as I recall.
Dave L
Pompey built OPV's / parts of the T45 and parts of the QNLZ until only recently. True the last proper frigate was HMS Andromeda a long time ago but it was not because they did not want to build them. We need more ships but will the MP's North of the Border accept a larger defence budget – doubt it!!
Gunbuster, Exactly.
BS Portsmouth built full warships in the 2000s
Get the rest of uk MPs to do their bit? They couldn't give a shit and I say that with a heavy heart.
The government / MoD (N) / whoever gave us the T31 programme. And that tells you all you need to know about the official collective understanding of shipbuilding.
Reply to Steve Taylor
The T31 program Is either going to be a Ship of 4500 Tons with no Armaments whatsoever apart from a "Designed for" but "Not Built With" arrangement, Or a BAE Systems Version that's a lot smaller that appears to be the Modern Equivalent of the "Antelope" class.( Sorry but That's just my opinion and I know many of you will not agree but, Seriously, 250 Million per Hull ? )
Los polos chickens
That's total crap of course they will be armed even OPV have a gun , so peddling this nonsense from your armchair about a class of ship without ANY armaments is totall balls they will be armed main gun , basic air defence missiles , small calibre guns . Not as much as. They should be but weapons they will have
Roger Davies
I agree Paul Sweeney is only interested in Scotland, so where would it leave us if half way through a build Scotland became independent. Would they still be part of the UK and eligible to build Naval warships under Article 346 ? Unfortunately labour sold out Vosper Thornycroft to Bae Systems with their so called joint venture and eventual buy out so we only have Cammell Laird left as any Naval shipbuilding yard out side of Scotland. However having had 25 years in offshore fabrication and 18 years in Naval shipbuilding I know the offshore yards could easily have provided… Read more »
The national shipbuilding strategy is a non-starter and a waste of uk taxpayers money. We are no longer a country with one of the largest navies in the world, and we have to accept our new place in the world. Reality is there are two types of nations, the type that buy high end and the type that buy cheap. High end will self build and the UK just can't compete when it comes to cheap. We need to stop wasting money trying to get exports and focus on what is good for our own armed forces, whether that is… Read more »

Reply to Steve
It doesn't seem like you have read the NSS, or even the foreword to it? The following is directly from the foreword. "To achieve our ambitions we need a strong shipbuilding industry as part of a wider maritime sector. Today some 111,000 people are working in the maritime and marine sectors in the UK, including in the shipyards,2 supplying the parts, or supporting the equipment that keep this great industry alive, from Appledore to Rosyth and beyond. Sir John Parker's 2016 report shows the Industry has not stood still. Indeed, there has been a renaissance in the sector fuelled by… Read more »
Reply to Glass Half Full
"…we need a strong shipbuilding industry as part of a wider maritime sector." That's just wishful thinking if the navy is kept so small that it's barely viable. If we were investing in building the fleet to a level where we can cover all existing commitments with a little spare capacity for inevitable attrition when conflict occurs & kept enough trained , skilled sailors to man it, then that platitude would hold water; the orders would be there to support an adequate naval shipbuilding industry. What we have is a shocking suffocation of naval shipbuilding cut down to the bone.… Read more »
Reply to Frank62
You're assuming a conflict with a Peer 1 adversary is going to provide time for attrition replacement? Seems highly optimistic to me. Hoping to have enough ship yards to avoid being taken out by missiles is totally impractical.
Glass half full, Appledore can be scratched off that list.
Reply to Darren
Because the lease is expiring and Babcock is shutting it. I left it in because it was in the original text of the NSS.
The problem with Appledore is that it doesn't have any other business. Look at other shipyards around the UK and they do have other business and so are frankly better candidates for long term success based on a mix of commercial and naval business.
No. The problem with Appledore was Babcock. The problem with Appledore is that it does not have its own online identity to pursue other business as Babcock wanted this facility for its own reason and going for one OPV tender from a Country that enjoys eu empire funding was going to end in tears.
The TLDR version? NSS is not just about building naval ships!
No it's about propping up an unprofitable industry. The money is better spent on the future and building new industries that are self efficient and will bring value back to the UK.
We need to split defence decisions from policitcs of job creation in Scotland, and instead make them based on what is best for defending our conntries interests.
The 110k figure is a huge misleading one, how many of them are reliant on ship building, maritime and marine sector is very diverse.
How is it unprofitable?
As long as the UK mandates building war ships in the UK then it needs a viable ship building industry or it will be "propping up" to an ever increasing extent. TOBA will look cheap by comparison if it isn't addressed.
You can make an argument that it would be better to generate wealth and jobs for the country in other commercial fields and then use the tax revenues from that to buy ships from other countries, but that's a completely different discussion.
Yes! Sir John Parkers report did state that defence contracts with a decent profit should see decent investment in people and facilities, which is something we don't see in the UK at the moment. How many yards modernised to Italy, Germany, France, Japan and South Korea standards and more with these lucrative warship contracts. No, as warship building does not promote efficient building or demand investment. Look at the Type 26's being sloooooowed doooown.
Steve. You can't separate and shouldn't separate the economics and defense spending. Boeing is the company it is today because of the US investment in military aircraft which transferred into a commercial aviation. However there should not be blank cheque either defence companies should be demonstrating they are providing products efficiently improving productivity and hopefully able to win exports which brings money back into the UK boasts GDP and thus defence spending. If you get this right everyone wins.
What new industries are these? Ones that other Countries are involved in too.
We are entering the virtual digital shipyard era in which everything down to the last weld seam butt and fillet can be measured and given a cost along with benifit to the economy and money lost if given abroad etc. ONS and NAO should be on this
If Germany, France, Italy etc. can manage to build ships and export ships, then so can we.
We will always have a Royal Navy, so we will always need shipbuilding facilities, it is very much in our interest that these facilities have a steady stream of work so it is worth their while to invest in new facilities and equipment so that British shipbuilding is efficient, cost effective and competitive.
And yes, we will get exports on the Type 31e, so no, it is not an "unprofitable" industry.

That place in the world would be as the 5th/6th largest economy, permanent member of the UN Security Council, Nuclear capable, recently secured significant success selling the design of the Type 26 abroad and having just completed the trials of the largest and most complex surface ship completed outside of the USA in the 21st century. In a country that heavily subsidises private housebuilding, farming to name just two and spends £13Bn on foreign aid the idea that a £100m a year could not go on supporting UK Yards to build support vessels is a total nonsense. It is more… Read more »
There seem to be two errors (or one that is repeated) in the first paragraph of content, namely NSS is "used as cover to reduce the scope of ships that are qualified to built in the UK" and "restricting the scope of orders that can go through UK shipyards". The NSS is not restricting the scope. There is nothing preventing UK shipbuilders from tendering for FSS ships, the NSS just opens them up to international competition too. Sweeney goes onto to say "This model should be further extended to maintaining big ship construction of vessels with a beam larger than… Read more »
I have a question, what commercial ships would we building then?
Whatever makes commercial sense to the respective shipyards, or coalitions of shipyards. That probably seems a facetious answer but its not meant to be. Govt. shouldn't dictate what gets built, or even whether anything gets built versus shipyards being say the center of excellence for refit work, offshore wind power work etc. As the NSS foreword points out, "Indeed, there has been a renaissance in the sector fuelled by a diversification into support, repair and wider marine engineering work." Private companies did this by themselves. They are in the best position to decide what makes commercial sense for them. Sensibly… Read more »
I do wonder why there is no British Damen. CFP hasn't helped. I would say the decline of the RN hasn't helped either, obviously. Since WW2 successive governments have invested in the idea that we are land power and we couldn't afford to defend Germany and have a navy. Even when our European neighbours sly subsidised their shipbuilding while we happily subsidised their defence. In peace an army has little utility unlike a navy. And in the nuclear age an industrial in war has little utility too, probably less. As soon as we had enough nukes we should have left… Read more »
There is a danger in assuming that a vibrant shipbuilding industry in support of UK defense purposes has to build big commercial ships, where clearly large subsidised foreign manufacturers provide the toughest competition. If we look across companies like Ferguson Marine, Harland & Wolff, Cammell Laird, A&P and Babcock we can see a range of marine related capabilities and projects. No two companies are the same in markets they choose to address. I see the greatest capability for these companies being adaptable, flexible with highly skilled value add workforces capable of constructing complex marine structures in response to changing market… Read more »
France, Germany and Italy all build and export cruise ships, there is no reason we can't do that either.
We have to stop waging war against our heavy industries and start rebuilding them with modern state of the art equipment, and start supporting them too.
But we do! South Koreans are quite expensive too.
"You should also consider that we don't really have the geography to knock out 20k TEU ships as cheaply as the Koreans"., The South Koreans did not either until investment. There at the moment maybe certain ship type we don't want to get involved in because of competition by subsidized countries like expensive South Koreans, but that means we should not be buying from them or any other rivals. it's been said by the cruise ship firms/line that they would like to buy British if only we were in the game. If it is worthwhile is maybe one thing but… Read more »
So the NSS is really an INSS that does not compliment UK shipbuilding as it does not allow it to invest properly as Sir John Parker would like to see?
We are relying on international tendering, to be honest, and the UK MOD to be smart because going for South Korea for the Oil Tankers was hugely expensive but looked cheap on the face of it. This is new as RFA ships that were not built in the UK were taken up from trade, there was never a policy for tendering internationally and with modern technology the MOD can have a far better idea of prices and costs. The biggest most significant shipbuilding is in the FSSS in terms of tonnage. Why has it had to come under a new… Read more »
While on the topic of NSS I'd like to throw out a rationale for why I think the T31e is priced at £250M, beyond just providing a low cost GP frigate for the RN, because I suspect it is far more about being the basis for a sustainable naval shipbuilding program, which is critical to the NSS and why the program has taken the path it has up to this point. If it was only about costs for the UK then the possible $3.5B Chinook purchase amongst other big ticket purchases would suggest that £400M for a frigate would be… Read more »
T31 is priced as it is because HMG doesn't have a clue and the modern RN leadership is too politicised.
T31 needs to work for us.
If we're following the NSS then the type 31 should not be refitted but sold it's to some extent disposable it's competitive to build new rather than have expensive refits. This means it's an open order book the first sold before refit is required and another ordered. Savings from not refitting and proceeds from the sale make significant contributions to the new ship.
David Steeper
The problem with his argument comes down to cash like most things. If we build UNREP ships in UK yards they will cost more. The defence budget is fixed therefore it will mean less money for something else within defence. If we want to build all ships in the UK someone in govt needs to come up with difference between the best price from our yards and the best price from overseas. Unless/until that happens the best we can do is mutually beneficial deals with the overseas yards. Eg R.O.K. operating Lynx/Wildcat and buying Rolls Royce marine engines.
Reply to David Steeper
Yes. But there is the churn factor to consider. If we build in the UK the money, sort of, stays in the UK. Whether that is simply in wages or maintaining skills and so on.
We have to be pragmatic. Building the Tides abroad made sense because of QEC. B
There's more to it than just the price as France, Germany, Italy, Spain, U.S.A., Canada, etc., etc., etc. realize, do you see them rushing to Korea? It would be cheaper after all, and that is the only thing that matters, right? Wrong. It keeps our people in well paid jobs, it keeps our industries alive, and it keeps the money in our country.
Reply to Stephen
Stephen I don't think you got my point about the budget. The defence budget like all is fixed in advance. If the price of A is higher than we either buy fewer A or fewer B. I'm not disputing your economic arguments I'm simply stating where we are right now.
Why do you think money stays in the country. Most people use their wages to buy foreign goods. And this is why having exports of t31 is so important to offset these imports. You don't win exports by throwing blank cheques at industry. Having a competition focuses the company's attention on becoming efficient and lean.
How do they cost more? Please tell me this! Do clarify and give detail on this assumption.
@ Glass Half Full
I would say the danger is assuming that we can be even more successful in the warship market than we are now.
And much the same can be said about commercial building. As I said we have no Damen.
Oh I don't assume anything. A lot is riding on both the govt. and the ship yards being able to make this work. What encourages me is that despite all the odds we still have ship yards engaged and apparently successful in marine work per the comment from the NSS "… renaissance in the sector fuelled by a diversification into support, repair and wider marine engineering work". It also seems to me that we shouldn't get carried away in terms of the scope of what a successful UK ship building industry looks like. For example assume we never sell a… Read more »
We will always have a Royal Navy, so we will always need shipbuilding, so it is in our interests that British shipbuilding has a relatively steady stream of work otherwise it will never be worthwhile to invest in new facilities and equipment to make British shipbuilding as cost effective, efficient and competitive as possible. B.A.E.S. should still build the frigate factory at Scotstoun. Rosyth should keep the gantry crane and the solid support ships should be assembled there and other large Navy and R.F.A. ships in the future. Cammel Lairds should get the Type 31 and of course submarines in… Read more »
The problem with your allocation proposal is that you just entirely eliminated any competition by having dedicated resources for different classes of vessels. There is no incentive for ship builders to keep costs under control and reduce margins if they face no competition.
"Contrast that with the United States, which has been building the Arleigh Burke class since the 1980s." – There are advantages to just build the same ship for decades but there are also disadvantages. In means US shipbuilding is surprisingly behind the curve when it comes to modern shipbuilding practices. The Arleigh Burke class is a vessel designed in the 80's using systems first developed in the 60's and 70's then built using thirty year old shipbuilding and fabrication techniques. The latest Flight II are cramped with habitability standards that are inferior to the latest UK ships. The Flight IIa… Read more »

They do tend to get the best use out of their equipment though , think B52 Bombers with the latest life extension planned up to 2050 or so. That's nearly 100 years !
The only reason Arleigh Burkes are cramped are because the USN refuses to cut crew size unless necessary. In addition the Flight IIa and III ships are much more automated than previous units. The only thing keeping their crew numbers up is once again reluctance to cut crew viewed as necessary during an emergency. As for habitability? Yes I have no doubt that NAVSEA required first and foremost that it be a warship, and wrote the living standards accordingly. The crews won't thank you for making them comfortable if you didn't put in enough magazine space to keep them alive.… Read more »

I think the UK does need a NSS and I think we do have a viable shipbuilding industry. This is important stuff for the whole country. We build x amounts of ships allied to x amount of boxers, Ajax and lets not forget the trains we are putting on our railways etc and we have a viable steel industry, have both and we have a viable service industry supporting all this which equals jobs, tax revenue and most important social benefits.

Q: SPD Workflow - Wait for Field to equal value issue I need to be able to use the action "Wait for field to equal value" to make the workflow wait for the user to make a change in the current item.
The field it would look at has two options, Approved and Rejected, and I would need it to proceed with either option chosen.
I attempted to run it parallel, but just as I thought it would, it waited for both options to be selected.
What I really need is the option to say "Wait for field to equal Approved OR Rejected, but that doesn't seem to be an choice.
My next thought is to make both "Approved" & "Rejected" variables that equal 1. That way if the field equals 1, then it will continue. The logic makes sense, but I don't know if this possible to do in SPD or how to do it.

A: out of a blog that helped me saying:

...By default a parallel block will wait for ALL actions to complete before it moves on. This was a stumbling block that I had run into before. However, if you right click on the block and choose "advanced properties" you can tell it to continue if a Boolean workflow variable becomes true. So for my workflow I for either approved or rejected I set a variable I called ApprovalStatusFinished to true which allows the workflow to continue without waiting for the other parallel step to also complete.

A: I also found this page that has step-by-step images and instructions on how to fix this issue.

SGDQ 2018 gaming event raises $2 million for charity
Nick McDonald
The Summer Games Done Quick 2018 speedrunning event has raised over $2.1 million for Doctors Without Borders. This has set a new fundraising record for the event, which ran from the 24 June to 1 July, highlighting the generosity of gamers everywhere. SGDQ is a week-long event held annually that challenges the gaming community's best speedrunners to stream new runs for charity. These include runs such as gymnast86's run of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D, completing the game in 1hr 35min. It is typically a more relaxed and fun event, leading to the supportive and wholehearted crowd that donates. As a result, speedrunners won't be going for any world records. However, the event is definitely worth a watch, if even just for a glimpse into the fascinating world of speedruns. A full list of the games played is available here. Each speedrun is available for viewing on the official YouTube channel here.
$2,122,529.20, that's a new SGDQ record! Thank you so so much to all of you for your support in helping us reach a new record for #SGDQ2018
— Games Done Quick (@GamesDoneQuick) July 1, 2018
Summer Games Done Quick has supported Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) or 'Doctors Without Borders' since 2013, and before that the Organisation for Autism Research. While this year they broke their record, the generosity of the gaming community has meant that this is an annual trend. In 2013 they raised $250 000 for Doctors Without Borders, and in 2015 they broke $1 million. Last year was no different, with the 2017 event raising $1 792 342. With $2 127 864 raised this year, the money will greatly benefit the work of MSF, who deliver medical supplies and services to impoverished, developing or war-torn countries. The highest donation was $110 000 and the average donation was $60, which is huge. MSF are currently have field teams deployed in Africa, South-East Asia, Central and South America, and the Middle East. Summer Games Done Quick are still accepting donations for MSF here.

Given much recent discussion and the shift in focus of the field, it is becoming apparent that the incorporation of syntax is the way forward for the current state-of-the-art in machine translation (MT). Parallel treebanks are a relatively recent innovation and appear to be ideal candidates for MT training material. However, until recently there has been no other means to build them than by hand. In this paper, we describe how we make use of new tools to automatically build a large parallel treebank and extract a set of linguistically motivated phrase pairs from it. We show that adding these phrase pairs to the translation model of a baseline phrase-based statistical MT (PBSMT) system leads to significant improvements in translation quality. We describe further experiments on incorporating parallel treebank information into PBSMT, such as word alignments. We investigate the conditions under which the incorporation of parallel treebank data performs optimally. Finally, we discuss the potential of parallel treebanks in other paradigms of MT.

Q: Failure while unit testing playback in Robolectric because of prepareAsync() method of MediaPlayer I have this problem while unit testing the playback using Robolectric. I have a play button which has code something like this::
Btn_Play.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            MediaPlayer mPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
    mPlayer.setDataSource(String.valueOf(list.get(position)));
    mPlayer.prepareAsync();

    mPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {

            mPlayer.start();
            System.out.println("Playing....");
        }
     });
   }
});

Roboletric Unit Test code is:
@Test
public void varifyPlayButton()
{
    ShadowMediaPlayer.MediaInfo mediaInfo= new ShadowMediaPlayer.MediaInfo();
    play=(Button)fragment.getView().findViewById(R.id.play_Btn);
    ShadowMediaPlayer shadowMediaPlayer=new ShadowMediaPlayer();
    shadowMediaPlayer.addMediaInfo(DataSource.toDataSource(fragmentOne.list.get(0).getAbsolutePath()), mediaInfo);
    play.performClick();
    assertThat(play.isPressed(),equalsTo(true)); //This assertion fails.
}

The test passes with no exceptions but it won't execute the mPlayer.setOnPreparedListener() method. What can be possible issue??. I am able to playback the audio in the real devices. Is it a correct approach to write a unit test in Robolectric? I searched a lot regarding this issue. But I am not able to resolve this. Any suggestion or tutorial is appreciated. Thank you.

A: Robolectric tries to eliminate all asynchronous execution and make them synchronized. First set the preparedLister and then call prepareAsync.


I should have paid more attention in class but Latin and the periodic table sailed right over my head.
In retrospect I was guided through the frightening diversity and confusion of real life by the TV chaps listed above to a soundtrack provided by Bolan and Bowie.
Mr Noakes was an ordinary guy in M and S comfy clothes and brown shoes with a heart as big and brave as the ocean. He was one of those television naturals that existed before the peacock types who inhabit shows like the Bake Off.
His easy and honest manner totally without pretension provided him with a natural accessibility to his young audience. He was the older brother or father we all wanted.
He made the watching of his co presenters on Blue Peter, Valerie and Peter bearable and unmissable.
Bond he was not but we loved him.

A photo of a firefighter carrying an elderly woman up the stairs at a country concert is going viral and people are applauding it

Shayla Harwell/ Facebook
Thomas Harwell, a firefighter in Houston, is going viral for carrying an elderly woman up the stadium steps at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
His wife posted the picture of Harwell carrying the woman, and it has gone viral.
"My job is to help people," he said in an interview.
Firefighters are no strangers to selfless acts, but one Houston firefighter went above and beyond when he was off duty.
While attending the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo — which featured country's biggest musicians — last weekend with his wife and children, firefighter Thomas Harwell helped an elderly woman down the steps to her seat. But at the end of the show, he realized the woman was struggling to get back up the steps, so Harwell carried her.
"I helped her downstairs, and I wasn't going to leave until I helped her upstairs," Harwell told CNN.
In a Facebook post, Harwell's wife, Shayla, posted a picture of her husband carrying the woman and it has gone viral, with over 16,000 likes and over 4,000 comments.
Facebook users applauded Harwell for his senseless act, one commenting, "Thank you for your random act of kindness. Your reward will be plentiful." Another person wrote, "Truly an amazing and empathetic person. You both are wonderful for seeing, feeling, and sharing the love."
Harwell is no stranger to being helpful, however. He has been a firefighter for 15 years just outside of Houston.
"I'm a senior captain in the fire department. My job is to help people," he told CNN. "If you're alive and breathing, you shouldn't need an excuse to help someone else. If they need help, help them."

Ohio University in the rolling foothills of the Appalachian Mountains is one of our oldest public institutions, founded in 1804. Located in the city of Athens, a 90-minute drive from Columbus, Ohio, the school is home to more than 18,000 undergraduates. The beautiful residential campus overlooks the Hocking River, often cited as "Harvard on the Hocking" thanks to a combination of early American period architecture, a large college green, and its colonial roots. Regularly ranked as one of the best college towns in the nation, the Athens campus intertwines with the city itself-- everything is close by and within walking distance. Students cheer on the Bobcats, the university's athletic teams that compete in the NCAA Division I Mid-American Conference.
Visitor Information: High school visit options are available Monday through Friday and most Saturdays. The visit includes a 30-minute group information session and a 90-minute campus walking tour.
Transportation: The John Glenn Columbus International Airport, formerly known as the Port Columbus Airport, is approximately 80 miles from Athens, approximately an hour and a half drive and the most convenient commercial airport to Ohio University. Athens Airport Express is a private vendor offering transportation to the city by appointment, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Stay: Book a room at Athens' only full-service hotel, the Ohio University Inn & Conference Center within walking distance to the university. Just minutes from campus many families choose The Baymont Inn and Suites, The Holiday Inn Express or the Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott.
Coffee: Join the students for freshly brewed Starbucks at the Front Room Coffeehouse located in the John Calhoun Baker University Center. Students steered us to Donkey Coffee, saying it is a hotspot for creative types and quality coffee—the best in Athens!
Breakfast: The breakfast menu is served all day at old-school favorite Union Street Diner, open 24/7, also known as a late night haunt collegiate haunt. Another favorite spot for morning fare is fifties style Court Street Diner. For a quick bite before the tour Bagel Street Deli is a favorite with students not just for early morning bagels, but later in the day for sandwiches as well.
On-Campus Dining: You'll find Ohio University's flagship dining venue, Latitude 39 on the first floor of Baker University Center, at the heart of campus. Students gather for quick bites, drinks, lunch, dinner and pre-game festivities—it's a great place to mingle with Bobcats during your visit.
Lunch: Look for the neon hot dog sign announcing O'Betty's Red Hot, it's an institution in Athens famous for cheese fries and a Dixie dog! Try one of their specialties such as the "Dixie Hubba Hubba " topped with chili sauce, diced onions, aged cheddar, and stadium mustard. Make sure to peek in the Hot Dog Museum in the back of the restaurant with shelves lined with – yes – Weiner memorabilia! Students rave about the pizza at Avalanche Pizza, definitely known for Athens best pies, but Goodfella's Pizza is not without its fans. It's an all-day affair at Mexican inspired Casa Nueva, busy from breakfast through to dinner with many options for vegans and vegetarians. For quick burritos local chain Big Mama's Burritos is also well liked.
Casual: In the mood for a burger and beer; Jackie O's is well known and well loved in Athens with what many agree is the best burger in town. A mix of Caribbean, Cuban and American, Sol has something to make everyone in your group happy. Kiser's is the place for tasty BBQ in Athens.
Sweets: Fluff Bakery serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner but its the cupcakes, brownies and they're over the top fudge cake called the "Booty Shaker," that satisfies everyone in town's sweet tooth. Whit's Frozen Custard has a branch in Athens that's incredibly popular with both locals and students.
Local Attractions: Is it haunted, you decide when exploring The Ridges on campus, formerly the Athens Lunatic Asylum, a mental hospital known for lobotomy procedures, as well as various paranormal sightings-- we hear remnants of the building still give some goosebumps. Part of The Ridges has been renovated as The Kennedy Museum of Art, showcasing a variety of American artwork and known for its impressive collection of Southwest Native American textiles. Walk the Ridges Trail for some exercise, follow the Y-shaped trail that will take you to one of Athens' most popular sites: Radar Hill, the highest point in Athens and the former site of a WW II radar defense station. Experience more of the outdoors at Hocking Hills State Park where the biggest draw is several large and spectacular waterfalls and rock formations. If you're in town on a Wednesday or Saturday, don't miss a visit to the farmers market, one of the largest in the state. Alternatively, check the line-up at Dairy Barn Arts Center to see if any exciting music events or art exhibitions are taking place while you're in town.
A Weekend Stay: For more great things to do take a look at Mindy Trotta's excellent itinerary for an ideal weekend in Athens, it's an excellent guide for more extended visits and parents weekends.

hi I just chucked one out is their any thing in particular you need it is pretty straight forward?
place inner pipe in ( may not be able to get it in once snorkel is in silicone all joins ( optional) and tighten up.
On the air box side you have to die grind some of the tabs down to fit the hose over it.
Just so the information is out there for anyone contemplating installing their own snorkel (not that difficult), if you are using one like mine as shown in first photo, I suggest you do not drill the top bolt hole. Once you have installed the inner guard tube, which you must do prior to mounting the outer guard / main snorkel body, then you will not be able to access that top stud to get the nut on to it.
File comment: Suggest you not drill that top hole as you will not be able to get the nut on the stud.
File comment: As you can see with the inner tube positioned only the bottom two bolt holes are visible and accessable.
Good info although I did not disconnect my battery, I just unsrewed it and sat it aside and had no problems, did not turn the ignition on at any stage however. I also have a Turbogauge (Chinese Scangauge) and could erase any codes with that.


The world's population is projected to hit over 9 billion people by the year 2050. Of this numbers, new births and young people will make up over 70 percent by demography. What this means is that as younger people exist, the need to build more schools and educational institutions will also increase.
This demand will also correspond to an increase in the demand for books in the form of textbooks/instructional materials and notebooks for students and pupils.
Even with the proliferation of e-learning platforms and processes, with many advocating for a 'paperless' society, physical books have historical and present-day significance as a repository of knowledge and information.
Starting a Note-book manufacturing business/facility will allow you to tap into the educational value chain.

The benefits you will derive from drawing up a feasibility report include gathering information about your target market and ascertaining what modalities will work best for the facility in your desired location. The market for Notebook manufacturing is very competitive, especially considering that a good number of countries depend on imports to augment local supply.
In addition, a well-structured feasibility report opens up your business to the possibility of receiving funding from financial institutions and angel investors.
Your Notebook manufacturing business will thrive and post healthy returns, once you can secure a reliable supplier of the base material for the process: paper pulp.
One of the more important considerations you will have to make is whether you will go for the imported variety or utilize locally produced pulp. The cost of the material, as well as the quality from both sources, will guide your decision.
In addition, and depending on your negotiation skills, you can also cultivate an understanding with your suppliers as regards receiving raw material on a credit basis, for payment to be made at a later date.
The needed machinery for the typical Notebook manufacturing facility includes the following: Disc ruling machines, Paper cutting machine, Book stitching machines, Bundle/box strapping machine, shrink wrapping systems/machines. You could go for either new or fairly used versions.
You will also require the services of a plant design engineer to help you draw up an efficient arrangement for the machinery. The location of your venture should be close to either the source of your raw material or to your target market. The final decision will be based on the opportunity costs inherent in choosing one of the options.
Your manpower needs will be a mixture of both skilled and unskilled staff. You will have to choose competent individuals, who will help you achieve a smooth and efficient production process.
Staff selection is a process that will warrant your time and undivided attention so that you can select individuals based on competence and skill sets required for the production process.
Your inventory for both raw materials and finished products must be structured in such a way to reflect the nature of your business. Your inventory management system should guard against wastage in every step of the production process. The finished products must also meet with the minimum standards for quality.
