Gerald Genta Patek
Born in Geneva in 1931, Genta earned his Swiss Federal Diploma as a jeweler and goldsmith in 1951 at age 20. By 23, Genta was designing watches for the storied watch house Universal Genève. Today, collectors herald his Universal Genève Polerouter of the 1950s and the Golden and White Shadows of the 1960s as classics of the early Mid-Century style, itself a revival of the Bauhaus School's high-minimalism that the Nazis so bitterly interrupted. Genta's designs from this time resonate with the refreshed aesthetics and abundant optimism of the post-War era. This is one of my favorites:
Upon the request of Phillippe Patek in 1976, Gerald Genta designed an exceptional piece, still considered today as a benchmark. Similarly, to the Royal Oak, it too was inspired by the nautical world, but this time taken from the portholes of the transatlantic ships. The watch was named Nautilus in tribute to Captain Nemo's submarine in Jules Verne's novel "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". As the story goes, he sketched the watch in five minutes on a paper napkin in a restaurant. This new steel watch, with a soft-angled bezel, is the subtle balance between sport and elegance. It remained in production for 30 years. (source internet) Hey, think about how cool and rare this watch is Tiffany & Co: it is quartz !

Adaptation of Susan Hill's modern gothic horror story. £10.50 - £23.50.
Oxford Playhouse, Tue September 23rd - Sat September 27th 2008
Oxford Playhouse
11-12 Beaumont Street Oxford OX1 2LW
SMB September 24, 2008
There's nothing quite as enervating as a good fright! First performed in Susan Hill's native Scarborough in 1987, this superb adaptation by Stephen Mallatratt has been scaring the living daylights out of people in the West End for nearly 20 years.
An aging lawyer, Kipps (Sean Baker) has a story he wants to get off his chest – to exorcise, one could say – and turns to an actor (Ben Porter) to help him improve his somewhat stilted delivery. Working in an empty theatre they turn the narrative Kipps has written into a dramatic realisation which allows the lawyer to revisit the terrifying events he experienced as a young man.
It was this very invention that created the rising tension and moments of terror for the packed and expectant audience at the Playhouse. Fear is an emotion best fed by the imagination. Using little more than a few sound effects, some sticks of furniture and a number of cleverly lit silhouettes (Michael Holt's economical design and Kevin Sleep's brilliant lighting), Robin Hereford directs a play that builds to a crescendo of screams and gasps. It is this investment of imagination by the audience that guarantees they 'buy in' to the horrors that ensue as Kipps' story unfolds.
Sound and a little fog take us from a London lawyer's office to a northern coastal town, and a house cut off from the world by sea frets and a causeway submerged at high tide (shades of The Mousetrap and The Real Inspector Hound). A wicker hamper is by turns a railway carriage, a pony trap and a bed. But what lies behind the locked door, and why are the town's people so loathe to visit the house? Who is the mysterious Woman in Black? What breed of dog is Spider, who accompanies Kipps to the island?
I'm not going to tell you. Go and see it if you can get hold of a ticket – the opening night was a sell-out and it's a popular show. This was the third time I've seen this production and it continues to raise the goose pimples. I also have fingertip bruising on my arm and leg as my companion had not seen the play before!
The audience covered the full range of ages – the screams of shock and horror came from all throats – and there is something for all to enjoy. You'll be checking the door and window locks when you get home, and more than a few nightlights will be left burning to ward off those ambiguous shadows in the corners of your bedroom!

David Jason: My Life
The long-awaited autobiography of one of Britain's best-loved actors, and the star of Only Fools and Horses.
Born the son of a Billingsgate market porter at the height of the Second World War, David Jason spent his early life dodging bombs and bullies, both with impish good timing. Giving up on an unloved career as an electrician, he turned his attention to acting and soon, through a natural talent for making people laugh, found himself working with the leading lights of British comedy in the 1960s and '70s: Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Bob Monkhouse and Ronnie Barker. Barker would become a mentor to David, leading to hugely successful stints in Porridge and Open All Hours.
It wasn't until 1981, kitted out with a sheepskin jacket, a flat cap, and a clapped-out Reliant Regal, that David found the part that would capture the nation's hearts: the beloved Derek 'Del Boy' Trotter in Only Fools and Horses. Never a one-trick pony, he had an award-winning spell as TV's favourite detective Jack Frost, took a country jaunt as Pop Larkin in the Darling Buds of May, and even voiced a crime-fighting cartoon rodent in the much-loved children's show Danger Mouse.
But life hasn't all been so easy: from missing out on a key role in Dad's Army to nearly drowning in a freak diving accident, David has had his fair share of ups and downs, and has lost some of his nearest and dearest along the way.
David's is a touching, funny and warm-hearted story, which charts the course of his incredible five decades at the top of the entertainment business. He's been a shopkeeper and a detective inspector, a crime-fighter and a market trader, and he ain't finished yet. As Del Boy would say, it's all cushty.
Pub date: 1 August 2014
Sir David Jason was born in 1945 in North London. His acting career spans decades with him being the voices of Mr Toad from The Wind in the Willows, Dangermouse and The BFG. From Open All Hours to The Darling Buds of May to his starring roles as Detective Inspector Frost in A Touch of Frost and, of course, Derek 'Del Boy' Trotter in Only Fools and Horses, he is a true national treasure.
He lives with his wife Gill, and their daughter Sophie Mae, in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.

This one is quite cute but denim slub luon isn't exactly soft and cozy so it doesn't tempt me.
I'm liking this color in the swiftly material a lot. Not sure about the CRB though.
I was in store today doing some returns and they had the pop orange and pow pink CRB's out together. I didn't much care for either color but I think it could have to do with not liking Pow Pink next to Pop Orange. I do really like the pink in the swiftly material though and I think sometimes if a color I like is displayed in a palette I don't like it it makes me less interested in that color. We'll see tomorrow if I like the color in a different context and away from Pop Orange.


Jamie Lee Curtis (who plays Laurie Strode) unveiled the highly-anticipated poster Tuesday on her Twitter. Showing a profile of her face and the iconic killer's mask, the tag-line "Face Your Fate" will undoubtedly have fans excited to see the two face off again.
And not to mention … Curtis teased a new trailer dropping tomorrow(!).
The film, a direct sequel to John Carpenter's original 1978 slasher flick, will pick up where Michael Myers left off. Set 40 years after the events of the original "Halloween," Curtis and Nick Castle will be reprising their roles as Laurie Strode and Michael Myers.
Directed by David Gordon Green (the same guy that did "Pineapple Express"), it is set to scare the hell out of everyone on October 19.

How a big US bank laundered billions from Mexico's murderous drug gangs
Vette_Newb
More bankster crimes revealed..
As the violence spread, billions of dollars of cartel cash began to seep into the global financial system. But a special investigation by the Observer reveals how the increasingly frantic warnings of one London whistleblower were ignored
Ed Vulliamy
London Observer
On 10 April 2006, a DC-9 jet landed in the port city of Ciudad del Carmen, on the Gulf of Mexico, as the sun was setting. Mexican soldiers, waiting to intercept it, found 128 cases packed with 5.7 tons of cocaine, valued at $100m. But something else – more important and far-reaching – was discovered in the paper trail behind the purchase of the plane by the Sinaloa narco-trafficking cartel.
During a 22-month investigation by agents from the US Drug Enforcement Administration, the Internal Revenue Service and others, it emerged that the cocaine smugglers had bought the plane with money they had laundered through one of the biggest banks in the United States: Wachovia, now part of the giant Wells Fargo.
The authorities uncovered billions of dollars in wire transfers, traveller's cheques and cash shipments through Mexican exchanges into Wachovia accounts. Wachovia was put under immediate investigation for failing to maintain an effective anti-money laundering programme. Of special significance was that the period concerned began in 2004, which coincided with the first escalation of violence along the US-Mexico border that ignited the current drugs war.
Criminal proceedings were brought against Wachovia, though not against any individual, but the case never came to court. In March 2010, Wachovia settled the biggest action brought under the US bank secrecy act, through the US district court in Miami. Now that the year's "deferred prosecution" has expired, the bank is in effect in the clear. It paid federal authorities $110m in forfeiture, for allowing transactions later proved to be connected to drug smuggling, and incurred a $50m fine for failing to monitor cash used to ship 22 tons of cocaine.
More shocking, and more important, the bank was sanctioned for failing to apply the proper anti-laundering strictures to the transfer of $378.4bn – a sum equivalent to one-third of Mexico's gross national product – into dollar accounts from so-called casas de cambio (CDCs) in Mexico, currency exchange houses with which the bank did business.
"Wachovia's blatant disregard for our banking laws gave international cocaine cartels a virtual carte blanche to finance their operations," said Jeffrey Sloman, the federal prosecutor. Yet the total fine was less than 2% of the bank's $12.3bn profit for 2009. On 24 March 2010, Wells Fargo stock traded at $30.86 – up 1% on the week of the court settlement.
The conclusion to the case was only the tip of an iceberg, demonstrating the role of the "legal" banking sector in swilling hundreds of billions of dollars – the blood money from the murderous drug trade in Mexico and other places in the world – around their global operations, now bailed out by the taxpayer.
At the height of the 2008 banking crisis, Antonio Maria Costa, then head of the United Nations office on drugs and crime, said he had evidence to suggest the proceeds from drugs and crime were "the only liquid investment capital" available to banks on the brink of collapse. "Inter-bank loans were funded by money that originated from the drugs trade," he said. "There were signs that some banks were rescued that way."
Wachovia was acquired by Wells Fargo during the 2008 crash, just as Wells Fargo became a beneficiary of $25bn in taxpayers' money. Wachovia's prosecutors were clear, however, that there was no suggestion Wells Fargo had behaved improperly; it had co-operated fully with the investigation. Mexico is the US's third largest international trading partner and Wachovia was understandably interested in this volume of legitimate trade.
José Luis Marmolejo, who prosecuted those running one of the casas de cambio at the Mexican end, said: "Wachovia handled all the transfers. They never reported any as suspicious."
"As early as 2004, Wachovia understood the risk," the bank admitted in the statement of settlement with the federal government, but, "despite these warnings, Wachovia remained in the business". There is, of course, the legitimate use of CDCs as a way into the Hispanic market. In 2005 the World Bank said that Mexico was receiving $8.1bn in remittances.
During research into the Wachovia Mexican case, the Observer obtained documents previously provided to financial regulators. It emerged that the alarm that was ignored came from, among other places, London, as a result of the diligence of one of the most important whistleblowers of our time. A man who, in a series of interviews with the Observer, adds detail to the documents, laying bare the story of how Wachovia was at the centre of one of the world's biggest money-laundering operations.
Martin Woods, a Liverpudlian in his mid-40s, joined the London office of Wachovia Bank in February 2005 as a senior anti-money laundering officer. He had previously served with the Metropolitan police drug squad. As a detective he joined the money-laundering investigation team of the National Crime Squad, where he worked on the British end of the Bank of New York money-laundering scandal in the late 1990s.
Woods talks like a police officer – in the best sense of the word: punctilious, exact, with a roguish humour, but moral at the core. He was an ideal appointment for any bank eager to operate a diligent and effective risk management policy against the lucrative scourge of high finance: laundering, knowing or otherwise, the vast proceeds of criminality, tax-evasion, and dealing in arms and drugs.
Woods had a police officer's eye and a police officer's instincts – not those of a banker. And this influenced not only his methods, but his mentality. "I think that a lot of things matter more than money – and that marks you out in a culture which appears to prevail in many of the banks in the world," he says.
Woods was set apart by his modus operandi. His speciality, he explains, was his application of a "know your client", or KYC, policing strategy to identifying dirty money. "KYC is a fundamental approach to anti-money laundering, going after tax evasion or counter-terrorist financing. Who are your clients? Is the documentation right? Good, responsible banking involved always knowing your customer and it still does."
When he looked at Wachovia, the first thing Woods noticed was a deficiency in KYC information. And among his first reports to his superiors at the bank's headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, were observations on a shortfall in KYC at Wachovia's operation in London, which he set about correcting, while at the same time implementing what was known as an enhanced transaction monitoring programme, gathering more information on clients whose money came through the bank's offices in the City, in sterling or euros. By August 2006, Woods had identified a number of suspicious transactions relating to casas de cambio customers in Mexico.
Primarily, these involved deposits of traveller's cheques in euros. They had sequential numbers and deposited larger amounts of money than any innocent travelling person would need, with inadequate or no KYC information on them and what seemed to a trained eye to be dubious signatures. "It was basic work," he says. "They didn't answer the obvious questions: 'Is the transaction real, or does it look synthetic? Does the traveller's cheque meet the protocols? Is it all there, and if not, why not?'"
Woods discussed the matter with Wachovia's global head of anti-money laundering for correspondent banking, who believed the cheques could signify tax evasion. He then undertook what banks call a "look back" at previous transactions and saw fit to submit a series of SARs, or suspicious activity reports, to the authorities in the UK and his superiors in Charlotte, urging the blocking of named parties and large series of sequentially numbered traveller's cheques from Mexico. He issued a number of SARs in 2006, of which 50 related to the casas de cambio in Mexico. To his amazement, the response from Wachovia's Miami office, the centre for Latin American business, was anything but supportive – he felt it was quite the reverse.
As it turned out, however, Woods was on the right track. Wachovia's business in Mexico was coming under closer and closer scrutiny by US federal law enforcement. Wachovia was issued with a number of subpoenas for information on its Mexican operation. Woods has subsequently been informed that Wachovia had six or seven thousand subpoenas. He says this was "An absurd number. So at what point does someone at the highest level not get the feeling that something is very, very wrong?"
In April and May 2007, Wachovia – as a result of increasing interest and pressure from the US attorney's office – began to close its relationship with some of the casas de cambio. But rather than launch an internal investigation into Woods's alerts over Mexico, Woods claims Wachovia hung its own money-laundering expert out to dry. The records show that during 2007 Woods "continued to submit more SARs related to the casas de cambio".
In July 2007, all of Wachovia's remaining 10 Mexican casa de cambio clients operating through London suddenly stopped doing so. Later in 2007, after the investigation of Wachovia was reported in the US financial media, the bank decided to end its remaining relationships with the Mexican casas de cambio globally. By this time, Woods says, he found his personal situation within the bank untenable; while the bank acted on one level to protect itself from the federal investigation into its shortcomings, on another, it rounded on the man who had been among the first to spot them.
On 16 June Woods was told by Wachovia's head of compliance that his latest SAR need not have been filed, that he had no legal requirement to investigate an overseas case and no right of access to documents held overseas from Britain, even if they were held by Wachovia.
Woods's life went into freefall. He went to hospital with a prolapsed disc, reported sick and was told by the bank that he not done so in the appropriate manner, as directed by the employees' handbook. He was off work for three weeks, returning in August 2007 to find a letter from the bank's compliance managing director, which was unrelenting in its tone and words of warning.
The letter addressed itself to what the manager called "specific examples of your failure to perform at an acceptable standard". Woods, on the edge of a breakdown, was put on sick leave by his GP; he was later given psychiatric treatment, enrolled on a stress management course and put on medication.
Late in 2007, Woods attended a function at Scotland Yard where colleagues from the US were being entertained. There, he sought out a representative of the Drug Enforcement Administration and told him about the casas de cambio, the SARs and his employer's reaction. The Federal Reserve and officials of the office of comptroller of currency in Washington DC then "spent a lot of time examining the SARs" that had been sent by Woods to Charlotte from London.
"They got back in touch with me a while afterwards and we began to put the pieces of the jigsaw together," says Woods. What they found was – as Costa says – the tip of the iceberg of what was happening to drug money in the banking industry, but at least it was visible and it had a name: Wachovia.
In June 2005, the DEA, the criminal division of the Internal Revenue Service and the US attorney's office in southern Florida began investigating wire transfers from Mexico to the US. They were traced back to correspondent bank accounts held by casas de cambio at Wachovia. The CDC accounts were supervised and managed by a business unit of Wachovia in the bank's Miami offices.
"Through CDCs," said the court document, "persons in Mexico can use hard currency and … wire transfer the value of that currency to US bank accounts to purchase items in the United States or other countries. The nature of the CDC business allows money launderers the opportunity to move drug dollars that are in Mexico into CDCs and ultimately into the US banking system.
"On numerous occasions," say the court papers, "monies were deposited into a CDC by a drug-trafficking organisation. Using false identities, the CDC then wired that money through its Wachovia correspondent bank accounts for the purchase of airplanes for drug-trafficking organisations." The court settlement of 2010 would detail that "nearly $13m went through correspondent bank accounts at Wachovia for the purchase of aircraft to be used in the illegal narcotics trade. From these aircraft, more than 20,000kg of cocaine were seized."
All this occurred despite the fact that Wachovia's office was in Miami, designated by the US government as a "high-intensity money laundering and related financial crime area", and a "high-intensity drug trafficking area". Since the drug cartel war began in 2005, Mexico had been designated a high-risk source of money laundering.
"As early as 2004," the court settlement would read, "Wachovia understood the risk that was associated with doing business with the Mexican CDCs. Wachovia was aware of the general industry warnings. As early as July 2005, Wachovia was aware that other large US banks were exiting the CDC business based on [anti-money laundering] concerns … despite these warnings, Wachovia remained in business."
On 16 March 2010, Douglas Edwards, senior vice-president of Wachovia Bank, put his signature to page 10 of a 25-page settlement, in which the bank admitted its role as outlined by the prosecutors. On page 11, he signed again, as senior vice-president of Wells Fargo. The documents show Wachovia providing three services to 22 CDCs in Mexico: wire transfers, a "bulk cash service" and a "pouch deposit service", to accept "deposit items drawn on US banks, eg cheques and traveller's cheques", as spotted by Woods.
"For the time period of 1 May 2004 through 31 May 2007, Wachovia processed at least $$373.6bn in CDCs, $4.7bn in bulk cash" – a total of more than $378.3bn, a sum that dwarfs the budgets debated by US state and UK local authorities to provide services to citizens.
The document gives a fascinating insight into how the laundering of drug money works. It details how investigators "found readily identifiable evidence of red flags of large-scale money laundering". There were "structured wire transfers" whereby "it was commonplace in the CDC accounts for round-number wire transfers to be made on the same day or in close succession, by the same wire senders, for the … same account".
Over two days, 10 wire transfers by four individuals "went though Wachovia for deposit into an aircraft broker's account. All of the transfers were in round numbers. None of the individuals of business that wired money had any connection to the aircraft or the entity that allegedly owned the aircraft. The investigation has further revealed that the identities of the individuals who sent the money were false and that the business was a shell entity. That plane was subsequently seized with approximately 2,000kg of cocaine on board."
Many of the sequentially numbered traveller's cheques, of the kind dealt with by Woods, contained "unusual markings" or "lacked any legible signature". Also, "many of the CDCs that used Wachovia's bulk cash service sent significantly more cash to Wachovia than what Wachovia had expected. More specifically, many of the CDCs exceeded their monthly activity by at least 50%."
Recognising these "red flags", the US attorney's office in Miami, the IRS and the DEA began investigating Wachovia, later joined by FinCEN, one of the US Treasury's agencies to fight money laundering, while the office of the comptroller of the currency carried out a parallel investigation. The violations they found were, says the document, "serious and systemic and allowed certain Wachovia customers to launder millions of dollars of proceeds from the sale of illegal narcotics through Wachovia accounts over an extended time period. The investigation has identified that at least $110m in drug proceeds were funnelled through the CDC accounts held at Wachovia."
The settlement concludes by discussing Wachovia's "considerable co-operation and remedial actions" since the prosecution was initiated, after the bank was bought by Wells Fargo. "In consideration of Wachovia's remedial actions," concludes the prosecutor, "the United States shall recommend to the court … that prosecution of Wachovia on the information filed … be deferred for a period of 12 months."

An epic YA adventure story about two friends lost in the Canadian wilderness from Danika Stone, the author of All the Feels.
Vale loves to hike, but kind of hates her classmates. Ash is okay with his classmates, but kind of hates the outdoors. So, needless to say they are both fairly certain that the overnight nature hike with their PE class is going to be a hellish experience. But when they get separated from the group during a storm, they have worse things to worry about than bullies and blisters.
Lost in the Canadian wilderness with limited supplies, caught in dangerous weather conditions, and surrounded by deadly wildlife, it's going to take every bit of strength, skill, and luck they can muster to survive.
Praise for Danika Stone:

Vale woke, heart pounding. Her eyes opened in the darkness of the shelter as she struggled to make sense of the strange sound that had woken her. What in the world was that?! Whatever she'd heard was nearby, but groggy from sleep, she couldn't put a finger on its origin. Maybe it was just a dream. I could have—
"Maaa-a-a-am!"
The plaintive crying appeared a second time. It was high pitched, like a baby or perhaps a child, calling for its mother. Confused, Vale pushed herself up on one elbow. It was almost pitch black inside the lean-to—the light stick having faded into a dull green—but beyond the darkness, a circle of pre-dawn gloom appeared.
"Did you hear that, Ash?" she whispered. "Something outside in the…" She turned and her words faded as she caught sight of the bare patch behind her. She sat motionless, fear filling her like the cold that had spread through her limbs last night. "Ash?!"
Outside the shelter, something moved through the forest. The footsteps sounded like a person walking at a distance, or perhaps a dog moving through the snow. "Maaa-a-a-am!" the voice cried again.
"What the…?" Fighting panic, Vale struggled to pull on her coat, then crawled to the open entrance of the shelter. Her breath released as she stuck her head out the door. "Oh thank God," she muttered.
A line of footprints headed away from the shelter, into the nearby woods. Though it wasn't light enough to see yet, Vale suspected Ash had gone to relieve himself. Her eyes widened as she took in the scene beyond the shelter. In the hours since they'd fallen asleep, the seasons had changed. Outside the narrow opening was a winter wonderland; a heavy layer of snow covered every tree, bush, and mountain peak.
A branch broke and Vale jerked. From the far side of the forest, a flicker of movement drew her attention. A small shadow appeared, then another… and another. They came forward, appearing by degrees.
"Maaa-a-a-am!" the smallest called.
Vale grinned. It's just a deer.
The fawn was half-grown. A yearling, at most, the spotted marking of babyhood half-faded on its flanks. Around it, other adult deer walked wraith-like through the trees, moving nervously away from the lean-to.
"Maaa-a-a-am!" the fawn cried again.
Vale watched, breath held, as the fawn passed directly in front of the opening of the hut. The deer held one leg up, its crooked three-legged walk causing her smile to falter. It can hardly keep up with the others. Vale leaned further out the open doorway, her gaze following the herd as they moved further into the trees, and the single fawn, trailing behind. She held her breath. Vale had never been this close to a wild animal before. She wished that Ash was here to see it too.
The fawn stumbled, then glanced back over its shoulder. Its gaze paused anxiously on the shelter, then lifted.
Vale smiled.
"Maaa-a—"
Everything happened at once: The branches directly above the lean-to shifted with a suddenness that shocked Vale into silence, a scream—like a woman's voice melded with the roar of a lion—loud and near, broke through the wooded glade. Snow pellets smacked Vale's face. The snow a few feet beyond the shelter exploded as a large golden animal—A cougar!—dropped from the trees straight above the lean-to and pounced on the fawn.

Superman Possible For 'The Flash' Says Brandon Routh
Matt McGloin Posted: 11/04/2020 - 22:19 COMMENT
The Brandon Routh Superman might be possible for the upcoming The Flash movie says the actor who recently returned as the Man of Steel in The CW Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover.
At the same time, rumors are also offering Brandon Routh will star as Superman in an HBO Max series.
Regarding The Flash movie, Brandon Routh recently was asked in an interview (via YouTube) about the possibility of returning as Superman in The Flash, where Routh didn't rule it out:
I think that is always a possibility. Of course, since they are bringing in Michael Keaton which I am excited about and some other people from the past DC projects, I think it's very exciting, and it worked really well in Crisis on Infinite Earths and I was extremely proud and honored to be a part of it and reprise my Superman. It's an absolute possibility. I mean you can do anything with... you know everybody lives and dies all the time [in the comics].
The Flash will be a DC Multiverse movie
In addition to Micheal Keaton, The Flash movie is also set to feature Ben Affleck as Batman, as the flick will be a Multiverse movie.
Descriptions for The Flash offer the flick will follow Barry Allen as he breaks the bonds of physics and crashes into various parallel dimensions leading to encounters with different versions of DC's superheroes, and that Barry goes back in time to save his mother which causes changes to the timeline which sees The Flash connects to a new universe, the Michael Keaton Batman '89 universe (and others).
If Brandon Routh does appear as Superman in The Flash, perhaps Routh will get a spinoff Superman series on HBO Max, as rumors also offer that Ben Affleck is getting a Batman HBO Max series, and it has also been said Michael Keaton will go on to be featured as part of the DC Universe as a mentor to Batgirl.
While we are on the topic of Superman, Smallville actor Tom Welling, who also returned in Crisis On Infinite Earths, recently shut down rumors he is returning in The Flash movie, but bear in mind Welling also said the same for Crisis.
With Brandon Routh a possibility of returning as Superman, Henry Cavill could also appear as The Flash. Actually, nothing can probably be ruled out. Also, recall how at the end of the Crisis crossover, Routh returned in a costume that is closer to his Christopher Reeve Superman Returns costume (see below, it's yellow, not black), so it appears as if Routh would continue the Reeves storyline and not the "Kingdom Come" story from Crisis, meaning that all the characters would still be alive (Lois, etc) as the end of Crisis rebooted everything.
The Flash has a June 3, 2022 release date directed by Andy Muschietti starring Ezra Miller as Barry Allen.

Over 2.6 million vehicles are registered in Arkansas, with the average price for a 12-month policy at $1,399 (based on the rates of the six largest insurance companies). The amount of options for cheap insurance Arkansas companies are offering has been increasing over the past few years. This is good for consumers, because it means getting comparison quotes is much easier.
The number of way to save money on your car insurance is to re-shop your rates at least twice a year. This way you can always be sure you are getting the lowest price available in your state.
Arkansas residents can begin driving as young as age 14, if they receive a Class D Learner's License for non-commercial motor vehicles. Holders of this license must be accompanied by a licensed adult over the age of 21 at all times while driving.
Arkansas vehicles are required to have a minimum of $15,000 of bodily injury coverage, and $30,000 per accident. Property damage requirements in Arkansas are a minimum of $10,000. The penalty for driving without the required coverage is a fine of at least $250 for a first-time offense, but can reach $1,000 for multiple offenses.
Studies performed by the Insurance Research Council suggest that the rate of uninsured motorists in the state sits at around 16%. While UM coverage is not required by Arkansas state law, it is highly recommended and can cover you in the event you are involved in a hit-and-run, or are simply struck by a driver whose policy has cancelled or lapsed.
The Arkansas State Flag contains a diamond, symbolizing the fact that Arkansas is the only US State with an active diamond mine.
The Arkansas House of Representatives voted against a proposed law to bar driver's license tests from being offered in any other language than English.
Arkansas' licensing and motor vehicle functions are performed by the Office of Driver Services, under the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration.
Registration services are provided in any of the local Office of Revenue facilities.

So here I am, after around 30 hours from usual Internet Activity, back online (Article written originally on the 9th of January 2015) ; but from a quite different place. I am on board an Emirates A-380 flight bound for Mauritius from Dubai (EK 701) and I am enjoying and testing the complimentary WiFi service provided on board. This article will be a little walk-through of the service, a quick test and some comments. The whole of this article was written using that service except for minor changes noted when I touched ground and after a good post-tiresome-delayed-flight. – and if my battery does not drain out after usage at the Airport. The tests and screenshots were conducted and taken on the flight itself. I resumed the tests on my return trip.
Emirates, an airline with the UAE as its home, has been serving Mauritius with its A-380's since October 2014  and is now offering two flights daily to Dubai . Being among the leaders in aviation, Emirates decided to offer free Wi-Fi connectivity on board its flight with the collaboration of Switz's based OnAir.


What is a suitable name for the stain in the bathtub that won't come off or that comes back again after you thought you'd finally got rid of it?
I'm joking , I'm still struggling with much simpler vocabulary than that, so I can't tell about this of course. It was interesting for me though since the first serbian word that came to mind was "fleka" which undoubtedly shares the same etimology with the english "fleck".
"..from Middle English, probably modification of Old Norse "flekkottr", from "flekkr" spot, akin to Middle Dutch "vlecke" spot,stain, Old High German "flec" , "fleccho" ,spot, piece of land, and perhaps Latin "plaga" region "

Members of Congress vow to block arms deal with Saudi Arabia
By Israel Insider staff July 30, 2007
Amid apprehension in Israel about the US proposal to increase military aid and weapons sales to Saudi Arabia, some members of Congress announced Sunday their opposition to the deal. According to the proposed arms package, the US will sell Saudi Arabia with thousands of Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) - a low-cost guidance kit that transforms existing unguided free-fall bombs into accurately guided "smart" weapons. The deal also proposes a 25 percent increase in US military aid to Israel, from an annual $2.4 billion to $3billion a year. Despite reassurances by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that the US will ensure Israel's weapons supremacy in the region, senior Israeli defense officials fear the consequences of a radical Islamic coup in Saudi Arabia. "We do not have a way to defend ourselves against this weapon," a senior Defense Ministry official said, saying he supported the increase in aid to Saudi Arabia, but said that the Saudi regime could be toppled.
The advanced American weaponry could fall into the hands of Islamic extremists, he warned. JDAM, according to Defense Ministry officials, would allow Saudi Arabia to accurately fire missiles at strategic sites and installations in southern Israel. The US government rejected Israel's request to acquire the F-22 stealth bomber, a plane that can avoid radar detection, the officials said. Israel made the request in order to retain its qualitative edge over its neighbors. Two Democratic Congressmen, Anthony Weiner and Jerrold Nadler, said they would introduce legislation to block the deal "the minute Congress is officially notified."
The arms deal will be announced Monday morning ahead of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's trip to the Middle East. "Saudi Arabia should not get an ounce of military support from the U.S. until they unequivocally denounced terrorism and take tangible steps to prevent it," Weiner said. Democrat Tom Lantos of California, a Holocaust survivor and one of Israel's most outspoken supporters, echoed Weiner's demands. "There are a complex set of relationships behind it, and while it's very desirable to have the Saudis and others recognize that Iran is an existential threat, there is also a degree of responsibility that they have to show on broader US foreign policy interests," Lantos said.
Opposition to the arms deal in Congress follows sharp criticism by the US ambassador to the United Nations and a former US ambassador to Iraq, Zalmay Khalilzad. Khalilzad condemned Saudi Arabia for contributing to the destabilization of Iraq. "Saudi Arabia and a number of other countries are not doing all they can to help us in Iraq," he said Sunday. "At times, some of them are not only not helping, but they are doing things that are undermining the effort to make progress." Saudi Arabia is believed to be funding insurgent Sunni cells and allowing suicide bombers to cross their border into Iraq.

Can You Remodify Your Mortgage When You've Already Had a Loan Modification?
There is a wild beast lurking outside the door of many homes in America. Its name is foreclosure. For some homeowners it's not the first time they have encountered it. It came snarling and threatening to take their home from them once before, but they were able to drive it off with a loan modification.
ATTOM Data Solutions has released its April 2017 U.S. Foreclosure Market Data report, which shows that April's foreclosure activity is the lowest since November 2005.
In April 2017 there were 77,049 foreclosure filings, which is a drop of 7% from the month before and a decline of 23% from a year ago. A foreclosure filing includes default notices, scheduled auctions, and bank repossessions.
U.S. foreclosure filings were slightly lower in May of 2016 compared to April, according to real estate data company RealtyTrac. There were 100,841 properties with foreclosure filings in May, which is a 21 percent drop from May of 2015. The decrease in foreclosure activity in May is the eighth month in a row with a decrease compared to the same month a year ago.
New Jersey leads the nation with the highest foreclosure rate of any state. In the Garden State one in every 559 housing units had a foreclosure filing. Maryland was next with one in every 693, followed by Delaware with one in every 716, Florida with one in every 738, and Nevada with one in every 851.
Among the metropolitan areas with at least 200,000 residents, areas in New Jersey take the top two spots for the worst foreclosure rates in the country. In Atlantic City one in every 448 housing units had a foreclosure filing. In Trenton, New Jersey, it's one in 446.
House Flipping Up 20 Percent, Should Snooki and Vanilla Ice Get Credit?
Turn your television to a random basic cable channel and it probably won't be long before a reality show about house flipping comes on. There's Flip This House on A&E, Flip That House on Discovery, Flip or Flop on HGTV, Flip Men on Spike, Flipping Out on Bravo, and many, many others.
Even celebrities are in on the house flipping reality show craze. Snooki from Jersey Shore has a show on FYI called Nicole & Jionni's Shore Flip. And Vanilla Ice has The Vanilla Ice Project on DIY Network.


R&C: Could you provide an overview of sanctions enforcement in the Asia-Pacific region? To what extent are regulators becoming more sophisticated, and stepping up their monitoring and enforcement efforts?
Wysong: Regulators in countries such as China, Hong Kong and Singapore are increasingly focused on the role that financial institutions play in detecting and reporting financial crime in the areas of sanctions, money laundering and bribery and corruption. Regulators have high expectations for the design and execution of sanctions controls, whether in banking, securities, insurance, or other sectors. This means hiring more staff and investing more resources in sanctions screening and training. Meanwhile, US regulators, at both the federal and state levels, have sharpened their focus on Asia-based financial institutions and corporates. New York State, in particular, has recently announced two major enforcement cases involving anti-money laundering and sanctions violations against Asian banks. The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) also recently took action against a China-based corporate and several individuals for dealings with North Korea. Other investigations are in the pipeline. These cases underscore the increasing enforcement risk for companies in Asia, as well as a more aggressive regulatory and enforcement posture on the part of sanctions authorities.

Determining whether a mortgage is a conforming or jumbo loan depends on the type of loan (FHA or conventional), the area's conforming loan limit and the type of property. For example, a conventional loan limit for a single family home or condo in Santa Ana, California, is $636,150, yet in Chicago, the limit is $424,100. What's the reason for this difference? Some more affluent counties have higher limits as a consequence of average home prices and land value being more costly.
To determine if a loan is conforming or jumbo, you'll need to know the lender: FHA or Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac? FHA and Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac have different loan limits depending on where you live, so you'll need to use the proper resources when doing research.
FHA loan limits. Simply enter your state and county and hit send at the bottom of the screen. You'll be given the loan limits for your county along with the loan limits for each property type within.
Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac loan limits. While this is Fannie Mae's site, both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac rarely move independently of one another. The charts offer the loan limits for each property type but do not provide detailed information regarding high-cost counties.
Conforming lending rules are more flexible than jumbo, from the required credit score to the down payment. Jumbo lending guidelines are more stringent, and with good reason—lenders are taking more risk. In general, when more money is being financed, borrowers need to put more money down and have higher credit scores.
Conforming programs and rates. Conforming loans offer more competitive rates and offer both adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) and fixed rate products.
Conforming credit. All lenders are different, but typically a minimum credit score of 620 is required.
Conforming income. All types of income can be used when qualifying for a conforming loan. Speak with your mortgage professional if you have questions about your earned income.
Conforming assets. The lender will want to see two to three months savings (reserves). One month's reserve is the equivalent to one full month's mortgage payment (principle, interest, taxes and insurance).
Conforming debt. The lenders use debt-to-income ratios to qualify you. Conforming guidelines are more flexible and you can be approved above the suggested debt-to-income ratio. Just keep in mind, your gross income is used when determining whether or not you qualify so be sure you are comfortable with your monthly payment.
Conforming property appraisal. Only one appraisal is required.
Jumbo programs and rates. The rates for jumbo loans are less competitive than conforming loans. Additionally, ARMs are popular in the jumbo arena. While fixed rates are offered, the rates are significantly higher than those of conforming loans.
Jumbo credit. Again, all lenders are different, but usually you'll need a minimum credit score of 700.
Jumbo income. Just as with conforming loans, all types of income can be used when qualifying for a jumbo loan.
Jumbo assets. In addition to the down payment and closing costs, a jumbo lender will want to see a minimum of twelve months reserves.
Jumbo debt. As with conforming loans, jumbo lenders use debt-to-income ratios for qualification purposes. Jumbo guidelines are not as flexible. For example, a conforming lender may approve your loan at a DTI of 45%; however, some jumbo lenders will limit you to 40% DTI.
Jumbo property appraisal. Depending on your loan amount, you may be required to pay for two appraisals.
When researching your financing options, be sure and talk with your mortgage professional regarding all of the available loan products and programs.


Washington. -- The budget bellyaching coming out of the research establishment obscures the serious matter of whether science will be set back by the money reductions that appear to be inevitable on Capitol Hill.
The short answer is that more would be preferable for getting things done. But science is tough, resilient and bountifully supported. It can get along on less if the money is wisely spent -- which it often isn't -- and if inadvertent damage isn't inflicted by blundering legislators.
The chieftains of science are forecasting woeful consequences if the Republicans go ahead with plans to reduce spending for research and development by about a third over the next seven years.
Anxiety inflames the scientists' insecurities, leading to flights of rhetorical extravagance that would not be tolerated in purely scientific matters. Thomas E. Everhart, president of the California Institute of Technology, recently declared that billions taken from science will cost "trillions of dollars that could be saved by developing new medical treatments, new energy sources and new methods of cleaning up environmental waste." He added, "Without first-class science, we can look forward only to a second-class economy and a second-class standard of living."
The reality of science on Capitol Hill is that the budget ax has been wielded with more sophistication than is generally acknowledged. The long-term plans for spending cuts in science do warrant fright, if they are carried out. So far, though, basic science has eluded the ax.
The Republican rationale for financing basic science is that it's indispensable for industry, health and national security. Government must pay the bills, the thinking goes, since it's difficult for private sponsors to reap a payoff from advances in fundamental knowledge. Thus basic research, mainly a university-based activity, is to rise by 1.6 percent for the coming fiscal year. Most other civilian programs face serious cuts.
While medical researchers scream about reductions -- maybe because they scream -- the House has voted a 5.7 percent increase for the National Institutes of Health.
At the main source of money for physics research, the Department of Energy, basic science would go up by over 6 percent. The House was also reasonably gentle with the National Science Foundation, a mainstay of academic research, reducing next year's funding for scientific activities by 2.3 percent.
Why, then, the griping? The answer is that the federal research enterprise is roughly divided between basic science and activities directed toward hardware development and commercial applications. It's in development and applications that Republican free-market ideology is on a money-saving rampage -- with some exceptions for pet projects of influential legislators.
In line with such politics, the House has voted to abolish several big programs warmly favored by the Clinton administration for subsidizing research conducted by industrial firms. If matched by the Senate, that would spell the end of the Advanced Technology Program in the National Institute of Standards and Technology and similar programs in the Pentagon and NASA -- with total annual funding of over $1 billion.
What's curious about these programs is that after several years of heavy spending, reports of success are pretty sparse. The explanation of Clinton officials is that it's too early too tell -- and perhaps that's correct. But when money is so tight, and important fields of basic science complain that they are parched for support, puzzlement is warranted over the fast-growing and heavy government expenditures in areas of interest to industry.
Oddly, the recipients of the federal research subsidies include corporations that are among the world's heaviest spenders on research. Clinton officials insist the subsidies are needed because industry is short-sighted about the value of long-term research. But industry has done little lobbying to save the programs.
The doomsters in the science establishment regularly warn about other countries overtaking the U.S. Complacency can be dangerous, but so can fantasy. On the international scale, the U.S. is not skimping on research and development. In an assessment of 1992 data that is still valid today, the National Science Foundation recently reported: "The United States spends more money on R&D; activities than any other country; in fact, it spends more than Japan, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Italy combined."
The trouble is we waste a lot of it on high-tech nonsense in defense, space and industrial subsidies. Redeployed to real science, the budget could easily fulfill the ambitions of the research establishment's gloomiest gripers.

Herzog and de Meuron to design Museum of the 20th Century in Berlin
POSTED 27 Oct 2016 . BY Kim Megson
The winning concept imagines the museum as a brick house with a large gabled roof resembling a barn or warehouse Credit: Herzog and de Meuron
Swiss studios Herzog & de Meuron and Vogt Landscape Architects have won the keenly-contested design competition for the Museum of the 20th Century in Berlin.
Over 40 firms – including Sou Fujimoto, Zaha Hadid Architects, David Chipperfield, OMA, Snøhetta and SANAA – were invited to submit their proposals for the site, which will be located within the city's cultural forum complex.
The €200m (US$218.8m, £179.4m) museum will house a number of internationally significant artworks, including the National Gallery's extensive 20th century collection.
The winning concept imagines the museum as a brick house with a large gabled roof resembling a barn or warehouse. It is divided into four thematic quadrants, with visitors able to travel on multiple paths through the galleries. A huge sycamore tree will feature in the northeast quadrant, shading a café and a restaurant.
One of Herzog and de Meuron's priorities is to forge a connection between the museum and the neighbouring cultural buildings – including the National Gallery, Philharmonic Hall, Museum of Decorative Arts and Paintings Gallery – via a new East-West axis.
In a statement, the studio said: "The museum is the place where different paths cross, where different mentalities and worlds allow an encounter. It has several entrances, as it is oriented in all directions. It draws attention to the local collection of art."
Arno Lederer, the chair of the competition journey, said the design "eludes entirely the standard notions of how a museum should look at this place" and praised it as "unique, restrained and creating a strong impression."
Lundgaard & Tranberg Arkitekter and landscape architects SCHØNHER were second in the competition, and Bruno Fioretti Marquez and Capatti Staubach Landscape Architects placed third.
In recent months Herzog and de Meuron have celebrated the opening of two other high-profile art museum projects: extensions to the Tate Modern in London and the Unterlinden Museum in Colmar, France.

The Comicon Philippines is Toycon, More than a Comicon
The explosion of many pop culture events in the Philippines is good. More events mean more selection and great experience to the pop culture fans of the country.
Still, there is only one Comicon in the Philippines that is Toycon – Asia's biggest and longest running convention for toys and collectibles, cosplay, comics, gaming and digital entertainment.
Toycon is set this June 8-10, 2018 at the SMX Convention Center.
Why Toycon is the Comicon of the Philippines?
Toycon boast comics, games, cosplay, digital entertainment and Hollywood stars, but at the heart of Toycon are the toys and collectibles.
The toys are part of our happiness when we used to be kids, and the new generation of kids that are continuing the love for toys as part of their growth and platform for fun and imagination.
Toycon 2018 Boasts Exclusive Toys
You are absolutely correct!
This year's Toycon parades a lot of exclusive toys that you can only have when you attend the event.
They have the Manila Killa TEQ63 by Quiccs, Funko Pop exclusive, Anatoy and other designer toys that will be announced soon.
Toycon the Comicon Philippines is about the Toy and Pop Culture Community
What separates Toycon from its competitors and wannabes is the community.
Toycon is an event created by hobbyists and geeks passionate about pop culture, and they are part of the different toy and pop culture communities in the country.
In fact, you go to Toycon not only to see the program offerings, and buy toys. If you will observe, you will witness that Toycon is about meeting friends you have not seen for a long time, friends who share your passion with toys and collectibles and pop subcultures.
During Toycon, a celebration takes place, the celebration of meeting other collectors from your chosen subcultures.
And this is the reason why Toycon is the Comicon of the Philippines.
Toycon is more than a Con
This new tagline speaks volume of Toycon's identity.
Toycon is more than an event that gather the comic fans and the movies adaptations that go with it. Toycon is more than games that the millenials are raving and keeping them awake at night. Toycon is more than anime, manga and cosplay where we meet the characters of our dreams transformed to life by cosplayers.
Toycon is a celebration of the Filipino Culture, imagination, creativity and excellence.
In Toycon, we recognize Filipino talents that contributed in the growth of pop culture the local and international scenes. There are a lot of heroes and heroines in the Philippines, they are the creators or contributors to the characters the world love and adore.
They are celebrated and recognized at Toycon, the only event that does this (unless after reading this, other Cons and wannabes may copy this idea, which is still good).
Toycon is a new playground
After experiencing growth and success, Toycon leaders new vision of creating a new playground for Filipinos and international community will usher this event to the future.
It will be the vanguard of the Philippine pop culture event to the next decade. It will be the Comicon Philippines that will attract not just the Filipinos but international communities to visit and experience Toycon.
I remember when the San Diego Comicon (the largest Comicon in the world) organizers visited the first Toycon at SMX; they said they have never seen such huge support to a Pop Culture Convention.
Indeed, exciting things are coming at Toycon.
Come one, Come all
Before the good things that are coming Toycon's way in the future, you have to attend, and bring your friends this June 8-10, 2018 at this year's Toycon.
The tickets are now available at SM Tickets; buy now so you can prepare in advance your Toycon experience with your friends.

We were living in the UK, it was the 10th of January 2011 and I received a phone call at 3pm from the nursery saying that Loken had a temperature and that he was a bit sleepy. I agreed for the nursery to provide him with some Calpol.
I had a weird feeling and decided to stop work and to collect him. Loken was very lethargic and sleepy when I collected him at 4pm. However, I went home with him and tried to give him some food, which he refused. I gave him some grapes, which he ate. My mum saw him via Skype and said that he doesn't look well at all and to keep an eye on him.
It all happened so fast and they said something about meningococcal septicaemia and meningitis. I didn't even know what meningococcal was. They called the Southern Thames Retrieval Team to collect Loken and take him to the London Evelina PICU. Loken was put into a coma as his organs were not able to support himself anymore. Della and I received antibiotics and we were able to drive in the ambulance to the hospital. I kept asking the doctors and nurses if he would survive and all they kept saying was that Loken was very ill. Nobody ever gave me false hopes.
The next few days were the most difficult days in our lives. Brendon (my husband and Loken's dad) arrived two days later and he was devastated to see Loken in the PICU. He had wires everywhere and was completely swollen from all the fluid they had to give him. He stayed in a coma for six days and was then slowly woken up. We thought we crossed a hurdle and that he would survive, but again we were told that anything could happen in the next few days.
Loken's fingers and toes turned blue and the consultant drew a line with a pen to see if they were getting worse. Loken had a few brain scans as he was not responsive, but the consultant could not see any obvious damage apart from a swollen brain. Loken got better on a daily basis moving his fingers and watching everything that happened around him. We were transferred to the Children's Ward and he continued his recovery.
Loken turned six in January 2015, and is thriving and enjoying life. I had a healthy baby daughter in September 2011 and we are now living in New Zealand. Life could not be better.

Tesco uses Honeywell refrigerant to reduce carbon emissions by up to 40 percent
Europe Latest News Retail News Supermarkets
Tesco to convert more than 1,200 United Kingdom stores to Honeywell's Solstice® N40 (R-448A) refrigerant
BRUSSELS, May 24, 2017 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced that Tesco, one of the world's largest supermarket chains, is converting more than 1,200 stores across the United Kingdom to Honeywell's Solstice® N40 refrigerant in order to meet its carbon reduction commitments. The conversion will take place over the next three years, with the first 60 stores already converted.
In November 2015, Tesco committed to the parties of the United Nations Climate Change conference in Paris (COP21) to carbon reduction from refrigeration systems. Part of the work to support this was focused on reducing its refrigerant emissions by 26.5 percent compared with a 2006/2007 baseline. Part of its strategy is to switch to Honeywell's Solstice N40 from R-404A, which it uses today. By converting 1,200 stores to Solstice N40—and utilizing the lower global-warming-potential (GWP) of the new refrigerant—Tesco can lower its carbon footprint by up to 40 percent, which is equivalent to removing 70,000 cars from the road over the next three years.
Tesco's current refrigerant, R-404A, is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) with a high GWP of 3,943. By comparison, Solstice N40 has a GWP of 1,273, making it the lowest-GWP refrigerant available today for supermarket refrigeration. Solstice N40 is a near drop-in replacement for R-404A.
"We set aggressive sustainability goals and were committed to achieving them without impacting our customers," said Matthew Reeves-Smith, group head of refrigeration & HVAC, Tesco. "We sought the best technology to convert 1,200 stores in three years and found our solution in Solstice N40. This refrigerant meets all our key criteria including energy efficiency, system performance and maintenance. The fact that it is a near drop-in replacement for our current refrigerant helps ensure a smooth, ongoing conversion process over the next three years."
Solstice N40 is the supermarket industry's most commonly used, lowest-GWP, nonflammable refrigerant to replace R-404A, and can be used in new installations as well as in installed systems that use high-global warming refrigerants like R-404A, R-507 and interim blends. More than 2,000 supermarket installations were completed with Solstice N40 by the end of 2016.
"More and more supermarket companies are using Solstice N40 in large-scale store conversions, as it is the ideal solution to help meet their energy efficiency and sustainability goals," said Robert Kebby, refrigeration global business manager for Honeywell Fluorine Products. "Honeywell encourages customers to accelerate the conversion to immediately available, environmentally preferable refrigerants and avoid expected legacy product scarcity."
The success of the Tesco conversion project requires a close collaboration between Honeywell and its partners. A-Gas, a major distributor of Honeywell refrigerants for the U.K., provides a reclaim and testing facility. Climate Center provides national delivery and collection of new and reclaimed refrigerants, while Carter Synergy and Space Engineering provides the expertise for the actual conversions.
Honeywell is a world leader in the development, manufacture and supply of refrigerants that are sold worldwide under the Solstice® and Genetron® brand names for a range of applications, including refrigeration, building and automobile air conditioning. Honeywell and its suppliers are completing a $900 million investment program in R&D and new capacity based on Honeywell's hydrofluoro-olefin (HFO) technology.
