Cave rescue highlights plight of Thailand's stateless people
On the Thai side of the mountainous border with Myanmar, where 12 boys and their football coach were rescued from a flooded cave last week, thousands of stateless people live trapped between countries with no access to some basic rights.
All of the boys and their 25-year-old coach, who make up the 'Wild Boars' soccer team, will be discharged from hospital next week following a three-day rescue that evoked international relief and joy. Although the Wild Boars are now viewed in this Southeast Asian country as national treasures, four of them are technically stateless. At least two of the boys, however, are already in the advance stages of obtaining citizenship.
"I feel very good that the Wild Boars cave story has put a spotlight on this issue," Tuanjai Deetes, Commissioner of the National Human Rights Commission of Thailand, told Reuters.
"We must put more emphasis on this domestically as well as internationally. There are still many stateless people."
According to official statistics, 486,440 people are registered with the Thai government as stateless, of whom 146,269 are - like three of the Wild Boars - under 18 years old.
There are several groups whose people have over generations moved around the region, across open borders in remote hills between southern China, Myanmar and Laos, and into northern Thailand's ethnic patchwork of communities.
The blurry-border province of Chiang Rai, at the northern tip of Thailand, has long been an entry point for illegal migrants, people smuggling and drug trafficking from the 'Golden Triangle' area that straddles Thailand, Myanmar and Laos. But it is the better economic conditions in wealthier Thailand that have most attracted families from the other side of the border.
Once in Thailand, they are eligible for basic education and healthcare but face travel restrictions, have no access to financial services, and cannot get married or buy property.
"Whilst some progress has been made, stateless people in Thailand continue to face challenges accessing some of their basic rights," said Hannah Macdonald with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
"Examples include restrictions on their freedom of movement, healthcare, access to financial services, being able to get married, and to own property or land."
Somsak Kanakham, chief of the district office in Mae Sai, the area within which the boys were trapped in the cave, said his office was ultimately just following Thai law. "I understand why on human rights grounds we all want to resolve this issue," he said. "But it's a matter which concerns national security."
The number of people in limbo is understated by the official data because many have not yet registered as stateless. In the Mae Sai district alone, there are more than 27,000 pending cases of stateless people who have applied for Thai citizenship.
"The last time the government surveyed this village was in 2011. Now there are more than 210 new people," Tuanjai told Reuters in the village of Prachao Tum Jai, 8 km (5 miles) from the cave, where around 400 people of the "Dara-ang" hill tribe live.
Most of the villagers, who make a living by growing pineapples and rice, do not have Thai citizenship, and over 200 are not even registered as stateless, Tuanjai said.
"The major challenge is the migration pattern. There is a lot of movement, and a lack of information about the registration process."
Stateless people who can prove they have lived in Thailand for at least 10 years can apply for citizenship, which then takes around six months to process, said Vitat Techabun, director-general of Thailand's Department of Children and Youth. But Tuanjai says "exploitation by officials" who demand bribes to facilitate citizenship applications has sometimes stood in the way of this process.
Mae Sai district chief Somsak Kanakham said his office has partnered with civil society groups on the issue to ensure more transparency and combat corruption.
The Wild Boars' coach, 25-year-old Ekkapol Chantawong, is a member of the Tai Lue minority, one of several groups in the region. He hopes to become a Thai citizen, a friend and relative told Reuters last Thursday.
Tarn Aree, 35, another stateless Tai Lue who lives in the town of Chiang Rai, and her son are struggling to obtain citizenship. Despite her son's age, 11, he has the same technical status as a "migrant worker", meaning he is officially living in Thailand, the country of his birth, temporarily.
"Many of us have been applying for citizenship for years but we haven't got it," said Tarn as she queued with friends for free bags of rice at a fair hosted by a Buddhist temple. "We can't technically buy land so we need to use other people with Thai citizenship to buy land for us," she said. "I just want my son to truly own our home".

Interactive Metronome® (IM) is an evidence-based assessment and training tool that measures & improves Neurotiming, or the synchronization of neural impulses within key brain networks for cognitive, communicative, sensory & motor performance. As the individual activates a trigger in time with a steady auditory beat, IM technology provides real-time auditory and visual feedback for millisecond timing. Knowing whether the individual is hitting before, after, or exactly in sync with the beat to the millisecond allows them to make immediate, online corrections to improve timing & rhythm over the course of training.
IM training has been proven to provide cognitive, communicative, sensory and motor performance. Find out more about Interactive Metronome here: https://www.interactivemetronome.com/

A strong and healthy body is everybody's envy and should be as it is the best possible condition to prevent early onset of diseases and prevent yourself from dangerous infections.
But what to do, when your exercise regime is causing hindrance in your daily lifestyle or maybe in your asthma?
There are people who experience asthma attack during vigorous and extensive workouts, without even having asthma as a serious condition.
The symptoms of exercise-induced asthma generally begin within 5 to 20 minutes after the start of exercise, or 5 to 10 minutes after brief exercise has stopped.
What Are the Symptoms of EIB?
Sometimes coughing can be the only symptom you will face or you can have all of them together, these symptoms usually range from mild to severe and often resolve in another 20- 30 minutes. Occasionally, some individuals will experience a second wave (i.e. "late-phase") of symptoms four to twelve hours after stopping exercise. This Late-phase symptoms can be low on severity and take up to 24 hours to get resolved.
When we exercise, Due to increase in oxygen demands of our body we tend to breathe faster and deeper inhaling through our mouth instead of the nose.
The air we breathe through mouth is much cooler and drier than what we breathe from nose and acts as the main trigger for airway narrowing (bronchoconstriction), longer period of inflammation in the airways may result in chronic asthma. There are certain other factors that may make your symptoms worse like the high pollution levels, smoke and strong flumes etc. If ever caught in an emergency, consult your doctor and follow the recommended medication.

Q: Why are there pauses between tests in TeamCity? In some very old project, there are about 2K unit tests. Basically, the tests are divided into classes where possible.
I noticed in the log that when tests are run in TeamCity (2019.1.5), there are delays of about 10 seconds between them. Moreover, there are delays only when a new test class begins to run. There are no delays between tests of the same class.
What could be the problem? Do I have to refactor all the tests into some very large classes to eliminate the pauses? Maybe there are some special settings in TeamCity (I just started studying TeamCity)?

FLNG spend to accelerate
Global spending on FLNG projects will reach $47.4 billion between 2013 and 2019, according to a new report from Douglas-Westwood.
Russell McCulley • Houston
Global spending on FLNG projects will reach $47.4 billion between 2013 and 2019, according to a new report from Douglas-Westwood. TheWorld FLNG Market Forecast projects that FLNG liquefaction spending will total more than $28 billion over the period, while about $19.1 billion will be spent on import terminals. Driven by demand for electricity, Asia will account for roughly 35% of the total spend, followed by Australasia at 22% and Latin America at 17%.
Study author Murray Dormer said FLNG could prove to be a sensible option in areas that have significant offshore gas reserves but lack infrastructure or pose political risks to operators.
"Interruption of gas supplies either via political or security-related risks are an ongoing issue in the exploration and production business," Dormer said. "Boundary disputes, threats of civil unrest, and war and terrorism are all ever-present challenges that the oil and gas industry is well-used to encountering. However, by siting infrastructure offshore, FLNG could help mitigate some proportion of risk in regions where these issues are apparent."
Shell's Prelude FLNG development, in the Browse basin offshore Western Australia, is expected to reach first production around 2017. The floating facility will have a production capacity of 3.6 MMtpa of LNG. Petronas is developing a 1.2-MMtpa FLNG vessel for the Kanowit gas field offshore Malaysia, with a target startup in 2015. The technology is being considered for Noble Energy's Tamar field offshore Israel. "For more than 30 years FLNG export has been an ambition of the offshore industry, but it is now well on the way to reality," commented Dormer.
Helix divests pipelay assets
In an ongoing effort to refocus its business on well intervention and robotics, Helix Energy Solutions Group has agreed to sell its fleet of three pipelay vessels for nearly $252.8 million. TheCaesar and Express vessels and related equipment were acquired by Coastal Trade Ltd. for $238.25 million; pending regulatory approval, both pipelay vessels will be under exclusive charter to EMAS AMC. The third ship, Intrepid, was sold for $14.5 million to Stabbert Maritime and its Ocean Sub Sea Services subsidiary.
The 10-year-old, 146 m-long (480-ft)Caesar S-lay pipeline installation vessel features a 400-ton tension capacity and can handle pipe of up to 30-in. OD. The multi-service vessel Expressmeasures 162 m (531 ft) in length, with two reels that can hold up to 3,000 tons of pipe up to 14-in. in diameter. The 116.3-m (380-ft) Intrepid can deploy reeled pipeline in water depths of 7,000 ft (2,133 m). Stabbert, based in Washington state, has said it intends to keep the Intrepid in the Gulf of Mexico.
A spokesman for Helix, Cameron Wallace, said: "Helix divested its pipelay assets in order to focus more fully on our leadership positions in the well intervention and ROV services markets. With new vessels like theHelix 534, Skandi Constructor, Q5000, and the Grand Canyon I, II, and III entering the fleet between now and 2015, we are committing to serve the global demand for Helix's well intervention and ROV services programs." Helix will continue to own and operate its spoolbase in Ingleside, Texas.
EMAS AMC's Lewek Constellation pipelay vessel, scheduled for delivery in early 2014, will measure 178 m (584 ft) in length and feature a 3,000-metric ton (3,307-ton) crane for offshore heavy lift.
Singapore-based EMAS AMC, meanwhile, is expected to take delivery of theLewek Constellation in 1Q 2014. The 178-m (584-ft) ice-classed, DP-3 vessel will feature an 800-metric ton (881-ton) multi-lay system capable of working in 3,000 m (9,842 ft) water depths, and a 3,000-metric ton (3,306-ton) Huisman heavy-lift crane.
EMAS AMC last month announced an EPCIC contract with STX Offshore & Shipbuilding for a turret mooring and subsea system to be used offshore Africa, with delivery scheduled for 2015. The company also entered into an agreement with DSME for an accommodation and hook-up support vessel, also bound for Africa, with operations expected to begin 1Q 2014.
West Mira bound for Greenland
Husky Energy has signed a five-year contract with Seadrill for the newbuild harsh environment semisubmersibleWest Mira, currently under construction at the Hyundai Samho Shipyard in South Korea. Delivery is scheduled for 4Q 2014. The contract, which includes mobilization and a performance bonus, is worth approximately $1.18 billion, Seadrill said.
Husky will useWest Mira for operations offshore Canada's east coast and in Greenland. The DP-3 rig is designed for drilling in harsh environments in water depths up to 10,000 ft (3,048 m) and will have 12-point mooring capability and potential for two six-ram BOPs. Seadrill has a similar harsh environment rig, the West Rigel, under construction and scheduled for delivery in 1Q 2015 from Jurong shipyard in Singapore.
Seadrill also announced that it will acquire the ultra-deepwater semisubmersibleSonga Eclipse from Songa Offshore for $590 million. The DP-2 rig, also operational in 10,000-ft depths, was delivered from Jurong Shipyard in 2011 and is under contract to Total for work offshore Angola. Seadrill will take delivery of the Songa Eclipse in December 2012; Total's contract expires one year later but the company has three one-year extension options.
Samsung, AMEC team up for EPCI market
Samsung Heavy industries and UK-based engineering firm AMEC have formed a joint venture to provide EPCI for large offshore production facilities. Dubbed AMEC Samsung Oil & Gas (ASOG), the JV will initially employ about 100 specialists seconded from the parent companies with plans to ramp up staffing to 500 by 2018, the companies said. Samsung, drawing on AMEC's engineering capabilities, will use the JV for future FEED and detail design of fixed and floating offshore platforms, FPSOs, and subsea pipelines.
Citing recent market surveys, Samsung said the offshore production facility business worldwide is expected to grow from $140 billion in 2011 to $310 billion by 2020, and that investment in floating production facilities over the next five years will reach $91 billion.
"By establishing the joint venture, Samsung is securing EPCI competency for large offshore production facilities," the company said. "By securing EPCI competency, Samsung will be favorably positioned to secure a higher level of profitability than in its existing business structure, where it has to outsource a large part of design and procurement processes to overseas engineering firms."
Samsung will have a 51% ownership in the JV with AMEC holding a 49% stake. Samsung's shares are further divided among SHI, with 51%, and Samsung Engineering, with 49%. At press time, the companies had yet to name a management team for the JV: a CEO to be appointed by SHI, and a CFO and COO to be selected by Samsung Engineering and AMEC, respectively.

A study from an economic, financial, and strategy consulting group says the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a multi-state program designed to cap emissions from power plants in the northeastern U.S., has generated $4 billion in net economic activity even as it has increased electricity prices in the region.
The report from the Analysis Group, released April 17 at the 2018 Current Issues conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico, found that the program continues to help lower emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), and it has benefited local economies and also created jobs across its nine-state region, which includes Maryland, New York, Delaware, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. The RGGI was launched in 2009.
The Analysis Group report was vetted by an advisory committee including representatives from Exelon, ConEdison, and Calpine. It was financed by groups mostly focused on renewable energy, climate, and the environment.
The most recent report—The Economic Impacts of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative on Nine Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States: Review of RGGI's Third Three-Year Compliance Period (2015-2017)—came from an Analysis Group team including Hibbard; Susan Tierney, senior advisor; Pavel Darling, vice president; and Sarah Cullinan, associate. The group estimated the nine states realized $1.4 billion in net economic value from RGGI's implementation during the 2015-2017 period.
New Jersey was a member of the original program, but then-Gov. Chris Christie (R) pulled the state out in 2012. Current Gov. Phil Murphy (D), in one of his first actions after taking office in January, signed an executive order to rejoin the program. Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf (D) also reportedly would like his state to become a member; Virginia also has considered joining.
Previous reports from Analysis Group also found positive financial impacts from the RGGI program. The group's 2015 report found $1.3 billion in net economic benefits to RGGI states from the program in the 2012-2014 period. The 2012 report found $1.6 billion in net economic benefits from program implementation across 2009-2011.
The RGGI is the first U.S. multi-state cap-and-trade program aimed at controlling CO2 emissions from power plants. As part of the program, generators must bid and pay to be allowed to exceed caps on emissions of greenhouse gases power California also has a cap-and-trade program, covering power plants, industrial facilities, and fuel distributors, which was launched in 2013.
The Analysis Group study found proceeds from the RGGI's auctions of emissions "credits" have totaled $2.8 billion since the program's inception. Participating states have used the money to fund "energy-efficiency measures and programs; renewable energy projects; GHG-emission reduction measures; direct electricity consumer bill assistance, including for low-income households; and education and job training programs," the report said, adding that more than 40,000 new jobs have been created in the region as a result of the program.
"These local investments keep more of the RGGI states' energy dollars in their region and reduce the amount of dollars that leave the region to pay for fossil fuel resources produced outside the RGGI states," the report said.

Player Opinion
Fantastic speed, maneuverability, ground resistance, and power to weight ratio. Easily one of the nimblest tanks in the game.
One of the most accurate guns in the game at 0.30
Best rate of fire in the game for a 350 damage gun at 8.57 rounds per minute
Very good camo values for its tier.
Excellent view range, only 5 meters less than M48A1 Patton.
Paper thin armor can be easily penetrated by high-explosive (HE) ammunition from most enemy tanks, even sometimes to the fron
Very weak modules; ammo rack and turret ring are easily damaged.
Driver and gunner are similarly vulnerable.
Dispersion on the move, during traverse, and turret traverse is mediocre, making firing on the move less viable.
The characteristics of the Leopard 1 and the smaller map nature of Blitz make this a truly challenging tank to achieve success with. Its excellent gun, camo rating, high penetration and good DPM ideally suit this tank for a longer range sniping role, especially early in a match. Add in the maneuverability to reach locations on the battlefield that others simply cannot and the Leopard 1 can be very successful in the long range role. Players should find elevated positions behind bushes where possible or at least only show the turret to pose a small target for enemies to shoot at if/when camo does fail. Remember that the turret is still weak and can be easily penetrated.
In a tight situation, the Leopard 1 can play a second role, to lead a flanking attack once enemy positions and tactics are revealed. The tremendous speed allows surprise attacks to be exceedingly effective, though one must always have an escape route when planning flanking attacks. Gaining the attention of half the enemy team when a Leopard 1 shows up at their side/rear is a guaranteed trip back to the garage. Flanking and distraction are beneficial tactics, but must be used with caution and a lane for escape. This tank has effectively no armor, so any situation where multiple enemies are targeting it should be avoided at all costs.
The Leopard's final strength is that of a scout, given its excellent view range. However, players coming to Blitz from PC must remember that the smaller map nature makes scouting less viable and brings the vulnerable Leopard 1 closer to the enemy. If performing a scouting role, one needs to only be roughly 50 meters ahead of friendly tanks to provide effective benefit of the view range. If scouting out further ahead than that, a Leopard 1 is more likely to get spotted and have multiple rounds incoming, despite the good camo rating. Act as if the tank has already been spotted, as Sixth Sense only activates a full 3 seconds after a player has been spotted.
Equipment and Consumable choices for a Leopard 1 offer more variation than most tanks. In addition to a Gun Rammer, some may choose to put both Camo Net and Optics/Binocs on this tank to fulfill more of the sniping roll. If flanking is more of your playstyle, consider Vertical Stabilizers, Optics, and/or Vents. If scouting is the decision, one should consider Binocs and Camo Net. Still, others find Spall Liner to be a decent equipment choice given the frequency with which the Leopard 1 is targeted via HE rounds. From a Consumable standpoint, the fragility of modules makes running both a repair kit and a multi restore kit together a good idea as opposed to just a single repair option.
Overall the Leopard 1 is difficult to play but is a very capable tier X tank in the hands of a skilled player. It can fulfill the roles of sniper, flanker and/or scout, making it versatile. Its thin armor, however, make it an extremely vulnerable; the Leopard 1 is not an ideal choice for beginning tankers. Learn to avoid enemy fire and the Leopard 1 will perform excellently.
The Leopard is a main battle tank designed and produced in West Germany that first entered service in 1965. Developed in an era when HEAT warheads were thought to make conventional heavy armour of limited value, the Leopard focused on firepower in the form of the German-built version of the British L7 105-mm gun, and improved cross-country performance that was unmatched by other designs of the era.
The design started as a collaborative project between Germany and France in the 1950s, but the partnership ended and the final design was ordered by the Bundeswehr, production starting in 1965. In total 6,485 Leopard tanks have been built, of which 4,744 were battle tanks and 1741 were utility and anti-aircraft variants, not including eighty prototypes and pre-series vehicles. The Leopard quickly became a standard of European forces, and eventually served as the main battle tank in over a dozen countries worldwide. Since 1990, the Leopard 1 has gradually been relegated to secondary roles in most armies. In the German Army, the Leopard 1 MBTs have been phased out in 2003 while Leopard 1 derived vehicles are still widely used. The Leopard 2 MBTs have taken over the MBT role. Leopard hulls have been re-used in a wide variety of roles.
The Leopard project started in November 1956 in order to develop a modern tank, the Standard-Panzer, to replace the Bundeswehr's American-built M47 and M48 Patton tanks, which, though just delivered to West Germany's recently reconstituted army, were rapidly growing outdated. On 25 July 1957 the detailed specifications were released; the new design needed to weigh no more than thirty metric tons, have a power-to-weight ratio of thirty horsepower per ton, be able to withstand hits by 20 mm rapid-fire guns on every side as well as operate in a battlefield contaminated with chemical weapons or radioactive fallout, the then-standard baseline for combat with the Warsaw Pact. In addition the main armament had to consist of a 105 mm caliber weapon (the new British L7A3 105 mm gun was selected), carrying at least as many rounds as current US tank designs. Mobility was the priority while firepower came second; armour was seen as less essential, as it was believed no real protection against hollow charge weapons was possible anyway.
France was very interested in the design as its own AMX 50 project had just failed. In June 1957, West Germany and the French Fourth Republic signed an agreement to develop a common tank, designated in German Europa-Panzer. Three German (Arbeitsgruppe A, B and C) and one French design team would be included in a competition, with each team producing two prototypes each. In September, 1958 Italy joined the development program. Several prototypes were entered for testing in 1960. Among the prototypes were Porsche's Model 734 from team A, sporting a cast turret and that of team B (Rheinmetall) whose cast turret was somewhat higher. Team C from Borgward, designing a very futuristic tank, failed to have a prototype ready in time..
Even before these first prototypes were finished, it had (in 1959) been decided that a second phase with improved designs would be started: Team A had to build 26 phase II Prototypes for testing, team B six. Only two tanks of the required six would actually be constructed by team B. The Porsche Prototype II was eventually selected as the winner of the contest in 1963; this did not come as a surprise: it had already been decided in 1961 to build a preseries of fifty vehicles based on this design; production of these was started that very year. This "0-series" was modified with a new cast turret and several hull changes to raise the rear deck to provide more room in the engine compartment, and move some of the radiators to the upper sides of the hull. Before mass production of the standard version started it was also decided to add an optical range-finding system for better long-range gunnery, which required the turret to be somewhat taller, and added "bumps" on either side of the turret to mount the optics for triangulation. In 1963 France and Germany had decided to each build their own tank; Germany continued with the Leopard, while France built the similar AMX-30. Production was set up at Krauss-Maffei of Munich from early 1964 onward, with deliveries of the first batch between September, 1965 and July, 1966. The Leopard was soon being purchased from Germany by a number of NATO members and other allies including in chronological order Belgium (1968), the Netherlands (1969), Norway (1970), Italy (1971), Denmark (1976), Australia (1976), Canada (1978), Turkey (1980) and Greece (1981). Germany has a strict export policy for military equipment; Greece, Spain and Chile, while still dictatorships, purchased the French AMX-30.
Leopard 1A1
After the first batch was delivered the next three batches were the Leopard 1A1 model, which included a new gun stabilization system from Cadillac-Gage, allowing the tank to fire effectively on the move. The 1A1 also added the now-famous "skirts" along the sides to protect the upper tracks, and a new thermal jacket on the gun barrel to control heating. A less important change was to use rectangular rubber blocks fastened to the treads with a single pin instead of the earlier two-pin "shaped" versions. The rubber blocks could be easily replaced with metal X-shaped crampons for movement on ice and snow in the winter. Between 1974 and 1977 all of the machines in the first four batches were brought to the same Leopard 1A1A1 standard, and given additional turret armor developed by Blohm & Voss. A further upgrade in the 1980s added leftover image-intensifier night sights which were being handed down from the Leopard 2 as they were themselves upgraded. The PZB 200 image intensification system was mounted in a large box on the upper right of the gun, creating the Leopard 1A1A2. A further upgrade with SEM80/90 all-digital radios created the Leopard 1A1A3.
The first 232 tanks of the fifth production batch was delivered as the Leopard 1A2 between 1972 and 1974. The A2 included a heavier and better armored turret, and therefore did not receive the B&V armor add-ons as did the earlier machines. They did receive the other upgrades however; the Leopard 1A2A1 received the PZB 200, the Leopard 1A2A2 received digital radios, and the Leopard 1A2A3 got both.
The next 110 vehicles in the fifth batch were fitted with a new welded turret, which was equipped with a new armour consisting of two spaced steel plates with a plastic filling between them, and a wedge-shaped gun mantlet, creating the Leopard 1A3. Although the level of armor area density was equivalent to the A2's new welded version, the internal volume was increased by 1.2 m³ and the effective protection level was increased by half. The improved TRP 2A independent sight was installed for the commander. Upgrades were identical to the 1A2 models, the Leopard 1A3A1 with the night sights, Leopard 1A3A2 with the new radios, and the Leopard 1A3A3 with both.
The Leopard 1A4 formed the sixth batch of 250 vehicles, delivery starting in 1974. The 1A4 was externally similar to the 1A3, but included a new computerized fire control system and the new EMES 12A1 sighting system to aim it. In addition the commander was provided with his own independent night sighting system, the PERI R12. The new equipment used up space and the ammunition load was reduced to 55 rounds, of which 42 were stored in the magazine to the left of the driver.
In 1980 a research program was undertaken to study further improvements to the Leopard 1, providing it with a completely modern fire control system and fully effective night/bad-weather vision system. This was going to require even more room than the larger turret from the 1A3/1A4 models, so the decision was made to base the upgrades on the earlier models which were no longer competitive. The resulting Leopard 1A5 was based on 1225 vehicles of the Leopard 1A1A1 model. The turrets were again modified for the 1A5, with a larger section at the back, both in order to store all of the new equipment, as well as to move more of the ammunition into the rear turret, as opposed to the left side of the driver where it had traditionally been stored. The storage locker extended the turret almost to the rear of the tank when the gun was facing forward. The new turret was also able to mount the newer 120 mm gun from the Leopard 2 if desired, although this option has not been used. After trials the Krupp-Atlas Elektronik EMES 18 fire control system was selected in December 1983, developed from the EMES 15 used on the Leopard 2. The EMES 18 included two new sights on to the top of the turret, and no longer required the "bumps" as did the earlier optical systems. A crucial part of the upgrade was the introduction of more effective ammunition, including new APFSDS rounds. The Leopard tank could also be fitted with bolt-on lexan armour panels, which have increased the effectiveness of the armour. These "modified" tanks have proved themselves in the field. The first modified vehicle was delivered in early 1987. Since then almost all users of the Leopard 1 have also applied similar changes to their own vehicles, and in most ways the 1A5 can be considered the "standard" Leopard 1 today.
A single 1A1A1 was also modified with additional armor on the turret and had the 120 mm gun as the Leopard 1A6. The project was ended in 1987, as the Leopard 2 was in widespread service at this point and the 1A5 offered a reasonable upgrade path for a fraction of the cost.

The business will be structured as a sole proprietorship..
The business will be structured as a sole proprietorship.
A Business Plan, also referred to as a marketing plan, business strategy, or business proposal, is a mission statement that sets out your vision, structure, and methods, and helps you to plan for the future. It includes a business history, a marketing analysis, a financial statement, and operational details.
A Business Plan is a living document, meaning it should be periodically revised and updated as your company grows and changes.
Who should write a Business Plan?
Anyone who is starting a business should map out their vision for the future. Startups often require external funding, and entrepreneurs can show their Business Plan to potential business investors, who will want to know what makes the enterprise a good investment and when they will see a return.
Established businesses can also benefit from developing a Business Plan to attract further funding, manage rapid growth, or reevaluate the company's vision and goals.
Why is a Business Plan important?
Business Description: Your business name and address, as well as a brief history (how the business was started, how it has evolved, and any achievements to date).
Business Forecast: The measurable goals and objectives of your business, with a timeline for achieving them.
Business Structure: How the business is owned and managed (i.e. whether it is a sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability partnership (LLP), or limited company), and how decisions are made.
Product/Service Details: The primary product or service your business will provide, in addition to potential future products or services.
Marketing Plan: Your business's target market, competitors, pricing strategy, and advertising strategy.
SWOT Analysis: A detailed description of your business's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to help predict your viability and focus your business strategy.
Operational Details: A description of the business's day-to-day operations, facility, outside suppliers, and staffing requirements.
Financial Information: Your business's target market, competitors, pricing strategy, and advertising strategy.
When to should I review my Business Plan?
Your Business Plan should be updated whenever something changes, such as introducing a new product, branching into a new market sector, or taking on a business partner.
It's also important to regularly take a critical look at your business. At least once per year, complete a comprehensive update of your plan in light of developments within your business and industry as a whole. If you are pivoting or changing your business altogether, it is essential to revise your Business Plan.

05/03/2017 - 21:22 Good evening! First of all I want to thank you for viewing my profile and taking an interest in my very first article. I'm not really sure as to how this all works right now but I do have a reason behind starting this blogging business. A brief outline of my life so far, is that for years and years, I have suffered with severe anxiety and depression and I have never really found a coping method when things start to go bad but I do remember starting to log about my thoughts and feelings when taking part in a CBT session once or twice and thinking (at the time) what a waste of time this is, however, when I do look back on them "diary" entries today, I start to see the benefit of them. As part of my mental health, I am now a firm believer in making and creating memories. You get one life and you have to treat every day like it is your very last day on this earth. With this in mind, I have definitely made some mistakes but some of the experiences I have had seen putting this belief into action are amazing and what better way than to share it with the world by blogging about them! So I really do hope that you enjoyed reading my very first article and continue to follow my blogging journey. If you have any tips for me at all, please feel free to comment or message me!

Hey! Thank you so much, I can't wait to get started properly.


Caliraya is a man-made lake situated in the mountains of Laguna, a mere two hours away from Manila.
I was first introduced to this happy place when my grandfather would have us tag along on his work-related weekends to the NPC compound. Till I was about 13, my cousins and I would spend many afternoons exploring the property's trees and strange fruits. I would also take clumps of Caliraya's abundant red clay back to Manila to turn into little volcanoes, complete with puff-paint orange lava oozing from their tiny craters.
A number of years later, my parents decided that Caliraya would make the ideal place for a weekend retreat home. Some of my best memories from my 20s are those of lounging on our dock with friends who have become family. Weekends in our green house, to this day, are filled with laughter, good food, and stories that are funnier when told for the 100th time.
My parents have recently been putting a lot of their hearts into making this home by the lake even more magical. And my little family and I are blessed that we get to enjoy it with them.
Here are some snaps from our recent trip to Caliraya. If you haven't decided whether or not you'd like to build your own home up in these mountains, fear not. There's now a comfortable place to stay. Details at the end of this travel post.
Everyone is friendly and waves to you from their boats as you pass.
On most days you can see Mt. Banahaw from the lake. My dad says that when she's visible it means that there's wind coming. You'll know why this is a good thing in the next picture.
Meet my dad, the wind chaser.
Paddle-boarding has become one of the best ways to get a workout on the lake without even realizing it.
We often take the kayaks and paddle boards out right before sunset. On days when we're motivated, we'll take them out in the early morning when the water looks like glass.
We invited Fung, a cinematographer from Australia to join us this Holy Week. He loved all the green and was just busy snapping away.
Sunsets up in the mountains never get old.
A number of scenes from Apocalypse Now were filmed here.
I promised I'd share a place to stay, didn't I?
Soloviento is a new campsite owned by my father and his friends. It offers kiteboarding lessons, hot-water showers, adequate bedrooms, and a restaurant that serves the best wood-fire baked pizzas (the sardine one is my favorite). This is Bingo, their Guest Relations Officer.
If you're in the mood to be a little daring, you can also bring your camping gear and sleep under the stars.
You can contact Soloviento via their Facebook page or Website.
1. Caliraya can often be more rainy than Manila. The best time to go is the summer. So what are you waiting for?
2. If you do plan to go during any other season, a windbreaker and some gum boots will probably make your stay more comfortable.
3. The water is clean enough to swim in, but don't expect white sand at the bottom. It's a lake.
4. If you're interested in kiteboarding, this is really the best place to learn it. The wind is constant and you don't have to worry about sea urchins and corals.
5. Kiteboarding too intense for you? Caliraya is also popular for bass fishing.
Beautiful pictures! My mom's side of the family is from Laguna, but I've never actually been to Caliraya. We stay in Sta. Rosa when we go home for Christmas, and I'm always looking for fun day trips from there. I'll definitely check this out!
The Soloviento FB and website links lead to the Apocalypse Now page on IMDB btw. Just a small thing 🙂 Oh and your dad seems awesome!
Playdate! And I can finally get to meet you in person. That would be awesome. Will definitely get in touch when we have our December plans sorted.
Ok, I'm sold Cat. I think I know where our next destination is when we go back to the Philippines. I'm not familiar with the area – paddle boarding, kayaking and sleeping under the stars all sound like my kind of holiday! What a lovely place!

Business Education Expert
Karen Schweitzer is a business school admissions consultant, curriculum developer, and education writer. She has been advising MBA applicants since 2005.
An MBA application deadline signifies the last day that a business school is accepting applications for an upcoming MBA program. Most schools will not even look at an application that is submitted after this date, so it is really important to get your application materials in before the deadline. In this article, we're going to take a closer look at MBA applications deadlines to determine what they mean for you as an individual. You'll learn about the types of admissions and discover how your timing can impact your chances of getting accepted business school.
When Is the Deadline for Submitting an MBA Application?
There is no such thing as a uniform MBA application deadline. In other words, every school has a different deadline. MBA deadlines can also vary by program. For example, a business school that has a full-time MBA program, an executive MBA program, and an evening and weekend MBA program may have three different application deadlines - one for every program that they have.
There are lots of different websites that publish MBA application deadlines, but the best way to learn about the deadline for the program you are applying to is to visit the school's website. That way, you can ensure the date is completely accurate. You don't want to miss a deadline because someone made a typo on their website!
Types of Admissions
When you're applying to a business program, there are three basic types of admissions that you might encounter:
Open Admissions
Rolling Admissions
Round Admissions
Let's explore each of these admissions types in more detail below.
Although policies can vary by school, some schools with open admissions (also known as open enrollment) admit everyone that meets the admission requirements and has the money to pay the tuition. For example, if the admissions requirements dictate that you have a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited U.S. institution (or the equivalent) and the capacity to study at the graduate level, and you meet these requirements, you will most likely be admitted into the program as long as space is available. If space is not available, you may be waitlisted.
Schools with open admissions rarely have application deadlines. In other words, you can apply and get accepted at any time. Open admissions are the most relaxed form of admissions and the one most rarely seen at graduate business schools. Most of the schools that have open admissions are online schools or undergraduate colleges and universities.
Schools that have a rolling admissions policy usually have a large application window - sometimes as long as six or seven months. Rolling admissions are commonly used for freshmen at undergraduate universities and colleges, but this form of admissions is also heavily used by law schools. Certain graduate-level business schools, such as Columbia Business School, also have rolling admissions.
Some business schools that use rolling admissions have what is known as an early decision deadline. This means that you have to submit your application by a certain date to get an early acceptance. For example, if you are applying to a school with rolling admissions, there may be two application deadlines: an early decision deadline and a final deadline. So, if you are hoping to get accepted early on, you have to apply by the early decision deadline. Although policies vary, you may be required to withdraw your application from other business schools if you accept an early decision offer of admission that is extended to you.
Most business schools, especially selective business schools like Harvard Business School, Yale School of Management, and Stanford University's Graduate School of Business, have three application deadlines for full-time MBA programs. Some schools have as many as four. Multiple deadlines are known as "rounds." You could apply to the program in round one, round two, or round three.
Round admissions deadlines vary by school. The earliest deadlines for round one are typically in September and October. But you shouldn't expect to hear back right away if you do apply in the earliest round. Admissions decisions often take two to three months, so you could submit your application in September or October but not hear back until November or December. Round two deadlines often range from December to January, and round three deadlines are frequently in January, February, and March, though all of these deadlines can vary by school.
The Best Time to Apply to Business School
Whether you're applying to a school with rolling admissions or round admissions, a good rule of thumb is to apply early in the process. Assembling all of the materials for an MBA application can take time. You don't want to underestimate how long it will take you to prepare your application and miss a deadline. Even worse, you don't want to slop something together quickly to make a deadline and then get rejected because your application was not competitive enough.
Applying early has other advantages as well. For example, some business schools choose the majority of the incoming MBA class from applications received in round one or round two, so if you wait until round three to apply, the competition will be even stiffer, thus decreasing your chances of getting accepted. Furthermore, if you apply in round one or round two and get rejected, you still have an opportunity to improve your application and apply to other schools before their round three deadlines have ended.
A few other considerations that may be important depending on your individual situation:
International applicants: As an international student, you often need a student visa (either an F-1 or J-1 visa) to study in the United States. You'll want to apply in round one or round two if possible to give yourself enough time to get this visa before the actual program starts.
Dual degree program applicants: If you are applying to an MBA/JD program or another dual or joint degree program, you'll want to pay particularly close attention to the deadlines. Some business schools, even those with three rounds, require applicants to apply for dual degree programs in round one or round two.
Submatriculation applicants: If you are an undergraduate who is attending a business school that allows qualified juniors to apply for early entry (Submatriculation) to the school's MBA program, you may want to utilize a different application strategy than the average MBA applicant. Rather than applying early (like most applicants would), you may want to consider waiting until round three so that you have a more complete academic record when you submit your transcripts and other application materials.
Reapplying to Business School
Business school admissions are competitive, and not everyone gets accepted the first year that they apply to an MBA program. Since most schools will not accept a second application in a single year, you typically have to wait until the next academic year to re-apply. This is not as uncommon as many people think it is. The Wharton School at the Universality of Pennsylvania reports on their website that up to 10 percent of their applicant pool consists of reapplications in most years. If you are re-applying to business school, you should make an effort to improve your application and demonstrate growth. You should also apply early in the process in round one or round two (or at the start of a rolling admissions process) to increase your chances of getting accepted.

Belt books, also known as girdle books, are medieval book structures which were worn by monks on their belts. They were traditionally made with leather. I am working with different materials for these books, especially the new Uist Mill cloths, which works really well. So here they are!
This belt book features a red leather for the book cover and a black leather for the ribbon that holds the book shut as well as for the cube which attaches to your belt.
The book block is made from 170gsm acid free cartridge paper which is ideal for a variety of different media, such as charcoal, pencil and pen.
This belt book features a new Uist Mill tweed and leather for the ribbon that holds the book shut as well as for the cube which attaches to your belt.
