5 Great Investors Who Aren't Warren Buffett
By Sean Bryant
Warren Buffett is regarded by most as being one of the greatest investors of our time. His buy-and-hold style has allowed him to purchase hundreds of companies that he felt were fundamentally undervalued. Buffett's ability to identify great companies at the right time has helped him to become one of the richest individuals in the world, with a net worth of $72.9 billion.
Even though Buffett has beaten the S&P 500 nearly 50 years during his career, there are some critics that raise the question as to whether or not he has lost his mojo. Since the recession in 2009, Buffett has gone through several years where he failed to outperform the S&P 500.
Here are five other investors, not named Warren Buffett, that are also considered to be the best of the best in the industry. (For more, see: The Greatest Investors.)
Hedge fund manager George Soros is a completely different kind of investor compared to Warren Buffett. Soros doesn't have a defined investing strategy; instead, he makes investments that come from gut decisions. He is most well known for his $10 billion bet against the British Pound in 1998. That bold move made Soros over $1 billion and forced the Bank of England to purchase 1 billion British pounds and raise interest rates by two percent.
Carl Icahn is one of the greatest investor of the past 25 years; however, at times his performance can be overshadowed by his corporate antics. Icahn, also known as a "Corporate Raider," regularly gets involved with companies that he feels have lacking leadership. Love him or hate him, his involvement usually leads to a company's turnaround and has given Icahn a 31% annual rate of return from 1968 until 2011. In comparison, Warren Buffett had an annual rate of return of just 20%.
John "Jack" Bogle
Jack Bogle is the founder and retired CEO of The Vanguard Group. Bogle started Vanguard over 40 years ago, and today it is the second largest fund company – only behind BlackRock Inc. (BLK) – with over $3 trillion under management.
Bogle has an extremely simple investment style. He believes in putting money into low-cost index funds that have low commissions and very little turnover of assets. That alone is a big reason why so many people trust him and his company with their money.
Benjamin Graham is the author of one of the most popular books on investing, "The Intelligent Investor." Graham is known as the "father of value investing," which is probably why he became Warren Buffett's mentor. Graham was never a huge risk taker when he made investment choices; he used solid financial analysis to pick great companies. (For more, see The Intelligent Investor: Benjamin Graham.)
In 1951, Buffett took a class at Columbia University that was taught by Graham. He said there were three important things that Graham taught him:
A stock is the right to own a little piece of a company. The value of the stocks you own is only as valuable as the company as a whole.
You need to use a margin of safety when investing. It's important to buy into a company when the market price of the stock is below the company's intrinsic value.
Mr. Market is your servant, not your master. It's important not to get wrapped up in everything that is going on with the markets. Instead, focus on your own research into a company.
Peter Lynch is most well known for managing the Fidelity Magellan Fund from 1977 to 1990. During this span, the fund returned an average of 29% per year to its shareholders. It beat the S&P 500 in 11 of those 13 years. (For more, see Peter Lynch.)
Lynch is known to be able to adapt his investment style to whatever was working during certain market conditions, so it makes sense that people started calling him the "chameleon." Even though he might have lived by an ever-changing style, he always applied a set of eight different principles to the companies in which he invested.
Great investors don't come around every day. Those that can manage to bring double-digit returns to their investors over decades are an even smaller crowd. These five investors have proven themselves to be some of the greatest investors of the past few generations.

Home Entertainment The revolution has just begun! Watch the new trailer for Snowpiercer season 2
The revolution has just begun! Watch the new trailer for Snowpiercer season 2
Snowpiercer was a masterpiece. I am, of course, referring to Bong Joon Ho's 2013 dystopian sci-fi feature film that featured Chris Evans in his most un-Captain America role ever. And with that film being as highly regarded as it, I expected TNT's TV series adaptation/prequel to be nothing more than a pale copy. Thing is, while Snowpiercer The TV Series doesn't reach the lofty levels of its precursor, its first season still made for some damn thrilling viewing as we followed the titular train as it endlessly circled the frozen wasteland of a post-apocalyptic Earth, keeping alive the last remaining dregs of humanity who have devolved into a brutal class system based on your seat on the train.
And that season ended on one hell of a bang after "tailie" revolutionary leader Layton (Daveen Diggs) managed to take control of Snowpiercer with the surprising help of the train's designer/commander Melanie Cavill (Jennifer Connelly)… only for Snowpiercer to be boarded and taken over by another train (more humans!) led by Mr Wilford, the great absentee leader that Melanie had pretended to be all along. And as we see in the new trailer for season two of Snowpiercer, Mr Wilford (Sean Bean) is none too happy about the people who have been using his name, or these uppity third-class citizens who clearly don't know their place!
That trailer dropped last night during a virtual panel held for New York Comic-Con, which included the cast teasing what's to come. Bean spoke more about what we can expect from the mysterious Mr. Wilford, who some first-class passengers have an almost messianic reverence for. Except, he's no messiah.
He's quite charming, but he's not a very nice man, if you have to live with him or be in his presence. He's a bit of a psychopath. I guess they're quite charming, but they're backstabbers. He's that kind of character, and he's not afraid of kind of displaying his cruelty because he thinks that's clever and it's for the greater good.
Bean's Wilford wasn't actually the person who announced the shocking arrival of that second train in the season one finale. No, that task fell to a creepily sombre little girl… who promptly announced herself to be the grown-up daughter who Melanie had been told had died years before. But the young Alexandra Cavill (Rowan Blanchard) is not here looking for touching mommy-daughter time as she's 100% a product of Wilford's twisted teachings. Blanchard spoke about her complex new addition to the show.
It fascinated me that she has always been like an adult her whole life, but there's still this need because of so much stuff that wasn't nurtured around her during her youth, for her mom, and this calling for her mom even though she has a lot of resentment towards her as well. The first scenes were kind of intense, but I think that Alex also wanted to be taken very seriously the second she encountered these other people who have kind of had a nicer life than her.
I'm pretty sure the people who eked out an existence in the tail, living in the dark, barely eating, would contest that "nicer life" opinion. Probably via the use of some makeshift axes. As one does during an apocalypse.
Snowpiercer season two is scheduled to kick off on TNT in the US on 25 January 2021. If the same distribution model as the last season holds, then we should see each episode on Netflix dropping one week later after its initial broadcast.
Does Sean Bean die in the trailer?

\"The main objective of this project is to make causal reasoning an integral part of economic theory. The basic idea is that when people make decisions, they establish a causal mapping from actions to consequences, which is based on an intuitive subjective causal model. For example, when a parent decides how much to invest in his child\'s education, he may have in mind an intuitive causal model that can be represented by the following graphical diagram: investment in child\'s education --> child\'s performance at school --> child\'s subsequent performance in the labor market. The decision maker then uses this subjective causal model to make sense of statistical regularities in his environment and form beliefs that guide his action. In the above example, this means that the parent will measure the observed correlation between investment and school performance as well as the observed correlation between school performance and subsequent labor-market performance, and he will combine these correlations in accordance with his causal model. If the decision maker\'s causal model is incorrect - e.g., when he reverses the true direction of causality between two variables, or when he omits certain variables from his model - then his beliefs may exhibit systematic biases. This in turn can lead to interesting behavioral effects. In the above example, the parent\'s subjective causal model neglects the possibility that both school and labor-market performance may be affected by unobserved exogenous characteristics of the child. This error may result in over-investment in the child\'s education.
In its exploration of behavioral implications of erroneous causal reasoning, this project is related to the behavioral economics and bounded rationality literatures. In particular, it adds a novel dimension to the literature on \"\"non-rational expectations\"\". While behavioral economics has studied a variety of biases in belief formation, it has not yet dealt with the problem of erroneous causal reasoning. However, causal inference is fundamental to decision making, especially in modern societies. We are constantly bombarded with observational data and correlations between variables, and whether we are able to draw correct causal inferences from this type of data is an important question. The motto \"\"correlation does not imply causation\"\" is so well-known precisely because people do tend to draw wrong causal inferences from mere correlations. These errors could make them vulnerable to exploitation by third parties.
From a technical point of view, the project draws on the rich literature in statistics and artificial intelligence (AI) on so-called \"\"Bayesian networks\"\". This literature offers tools that enable us to formalize types of errors of causal reasoning and analyze their behavioral consequences. Thus, if successful, the project may also contribute to the influence of graphical probabilistic models in economics, which could be particularly relevant for econometric theory.
\"
Work performed
\"The paper that initiated this research agenda and was the basis for the original grant proposal (authored by the PI and eventually published in 2016 in QJE, under the title \"\"Bayesian Networks and Boundedly Rational Expectations\"\") presented a model of individual decision making that was based on the above description. This model has several non-trivial properties (mainly the possibility that individual decision making exhibits \"\"equilibrium\"\" effects that we normally associate with interactive models), which the formalism of Bayesian networks helps illuminating. The subsequent papers that belong to this project have already been supported by this ERC grant.
The paper \"\"Can agents with causal misperceptions be systematically fooled?\"\" (authored by the PI and accepted for publication in JEEA) considers interaction between a rational \"\"principal\"\" and an agent with a wrong causal model. The question is whether the principal can exploit the agent\'s causal misperception to attain objectives that would be impossible if the agent had so-called \"\"rational expectations\"\". A key application in this paper involves interaction between a central bank and the private sector. The question is whether the central bank can use monetary policy to get long-run effects on the real economy, under the assumption that only unexpected inflation has real effects. This is a familiar problem from 1970s marcoeconomic theory. When the private sector has rational expectations, the central bank cannot systematically surprise it and therefore monetary policy cannot have long-run real effects. The question is whether this conclusion breaks down when the private sector\'s beliefs are based on a wrong causal model of the economy. The paper analyzes this theoretical question and provides answers in terms of structural properties of the private sector\'s causal model.
The paper \"\"Data monkeys\"\" (authored by the PI and published in Restud 2017) proposes an alternative interpretation of the beliefs that result from the above behavioral model. According to this alternative model, the decision maker does not have a prior causal model. Instead, he has access to partial data regarding the probability distribution that characterizes his environment. He uses a behaviorally motivated procedure to extrapolate a probabilistic belief from the partial data. Under certain conditions on the type of data the decision maker receives, the outcome of this belief-extrapolation procedure looks as if the decision maker fits a subjective causal model to the true distribution.
In addition to these two publications, the project has generated four working papers.
In \"\"News and archival information in games\"\" (authored by the PI), the decision model presented in the QJE 2016 paper - reinterpreted along the lines of the Restud 2017 paper - is extended to game-theoretic settings. This paper offers a theoretical framework for modeling games in which players have limited information of two kinds. First, they receive \"\"news\"\" - i.e. information regarding the current realization of relevant variables. This is the standard type of information in Game Theory. Second, the player receives \"\"archival information\"\" - i.e. partial statistical data regarding the steady-state distribution of various variables. The idea that a player\'s type can also be defined by his \"\"archival information\"\" is novel in Game Theory. The new formalism can express situations that so far have been outside the scope of Game Theory. For example, it can formalize situations in which one firm in a market has news regarding a rival firm\'s archival information. The paper\'s contribution lies in the introduction of this new modeling framework.
The paper \"\"Strategic interpretations\"\" (authored by the PI, team member Heidi Thysen and Kfir Eliaz) applies this framework to a standard model of strategic communication, where a sender who is informed of the state of Nature sends costless messages (\"\"cheap talk\"\") to a receiver who then needs to decide whether\"
What the above papers have delivered so far can be classified into several categories:
1. Creating modeling frameworks that provide a language and some basic results that will guide theorists who want to analyze the implications of causal misperceptions in various economic settings.
2. Providing analytical results about the situations in which wrong causal models lead to wrong beliefs, and some results about the magnitude of such belief errors.
3. A variety of applications in various fields of economics (monetary theory, contract theory, strategic communication) that demonstrate the scope of the modeling frameworks.
I expect that by the end of the project, I will have a richer collection of results in categories (2) and (3). In particular, I plan to apply the framework to richer models of monetary economics, industrial organization and asset markets. I also want to make progress in exploring more sophisticated models of how people use subjective causal models to draw causal inferences from observational data, possibly using the do-calculus framework of Pearl (2009).

HealthRoster (formerly MAPS) is Employee scheduling software for e-rostering, used in the National Health Service produced by Allocate Software.

It provides a computerised method for efficiently managing when staff are required to work and to ensure wards and departments have the right staff in the right place at the right time. It is used by over 80% of electronically rostered NHS trusts to plan and roster their staff. It permits bank nurses to check shifts that are available on their phones or computers at home.  Version 11, which can be used on a tablet, was released in 2020, responding to demands created by the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom.  It uses the SafeCare  patient acuity model supplied by Imperial College Innovations Limited.

Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust uses the software, which was installed in October 2007, to manage staffing of 160 different areas of nursing. The manager says it is much more efficient than their previous paper-based system, especially as it could keep a record of requests.

It is used in University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust, where it was used by Alison Leary in her study of safe nurse staffing. Warrington & Halton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust claims it has permitted them to reduce  the use of bank and agency staff.

Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust has established a Responsive Workforce Model using HealthRoster Software and SafeCare, which they say has been crucial in permitting them to reduce expenditure on agency staff, ensured quality and freed up nurses for hands-on care.  Matrons and ward managers can now organise their rotas more efficiently which enables them to be fairer with staff and frees them up to spend more time on direct patient care.

            value=TWO_VALUE;
        }

        NSLog(@"value %i",value);

    }

When I run my project with the code above, it looks like this:

The actual problem is, that I would prefer to replace the NSStrings at the indexes 1 till 4 with UIImageViews. Some days ago I read that I can achieve this with replacing all NSStrings by UILabels and the use
- (UIView *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView viewForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component reusingView:(UIView *)view

instead of
- (NSString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView titleForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component

.
So I changed my code into to this:
relevant not-working code
UILabel * colorPickerUnknownLbl = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 145, 45)];
    colorPickerUnknownLbl.text=@"not known";
    [colorPickerUnknownLbl setTextAlignment:UITextAlignmentLeft];
    colorPickerUnknownLbl.opaque=NO;
    colorPickerUnknownLbl.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
    colorPickerUnknownLbl.textColor=[UIColor blackColor];
    colorPickerUnknownLbl.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:20.0];
    UIImage * colorPicker1Img = [UIImage imageNamed: @"picker_color-01.png"];
    UIImage * colorPicker2Img = [UIImage imageNamed: @"picker_color-02.png"];
    UIImage * colorPicker3Img = [UIImage imageNamed: @"picker_color-03.png"];
    UIImage * colorPicker4Img = [UIImage imageNamed: @"picker_color-04.png"];

    self.cardColor = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:colorPickerUnknownLbl ,colorPicker1Img,colorPicker2Img, colorPicker3Img, colorPicker4Img, nil]; // ColorArray
    self.cardValue = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"not known",@"Ace",@"King", @"Queen",@"Jack",@"Ten",@"Nine",@"Eight",@"Seven",@"Six",@"Five",@"Four", @"Three",@"Two",nil]; //FaceValueArray

Facebook announced that it has removed the pages of the far-right ultranationalist group Britain First and its leaders, Jayda Fransen and Paul Golding, after they repeatedly violated the company's policies against hate speech. The group was thrust into the international spotlight in November, when President Trump retweeted anti-Islam hate videos from Fransen's Twitter account.
Why it matters: As Big Tech faces increasingly tough scrutiny for its role in spreading fake and damaging information, platforms have begun cracking down on questionable or offensive groups. YouTube announced today that it would act against outlets like InfoWars, which promote conspiracy theories. And Facebook came under fire this week from the U.N. for playing a role in the Rohingya refugee crisis in Myanmar by fueling the spread of hateful content.

Dumas tells her story of being a citizen of the world in her American, Iranian, Parisian family in "Laughing Without an Accent," a series of humorous autobiographical essays.
Whether describing her Iranian family's wonder at her French husband's Christmas traditions, comparing questionable delicacies in international cuisines, conveying the experience of taking 51 Iranian family members on a birthday cruise to Alaska, or going on a road trip to Iowa with a former American hostage in Iran, Dumas's wit and insight illuminate the universality of the human condition.
Dumas is the author of the national bestseller, "Funny in Farsi," which was a finalist for the PEN/USA award in 2004 and an Audie Award in 2005 for best audio book. She was also a finalist for the prestigious Thurber Prize for American Humor, the first Middle Eastern woman ever to receive this honor. The Persian version of "Funny in Farsi" is currently one of the bestselling books in Iran.
Originally from Iran, Dumas moved with her family to Southern California at the age of seven. She graduated from the University of California at Berkeley. She lives with her husband and children in Northern California.


If your own home is a smaller one the place among the rooms have multiple functions, you need to buy appropriate furnishings. Some houses have the eating space and living room in a single house, for instance. So, when shopping for items of furniture in this state of affairs you should attempt to get items that go effectively with both the eating and living area. As you store, take each rooms into account and purchase items that will make a strong bond between the two areas and create flow.
Changing your room's equipment is a fast and economical technique to update the area. Ornamental items, figurines, lights and flower preparations are all easily changed. Change the drapes in the living room or purchase new towels for the toilet. Not every room will need major adjustments and you do not need to spend a lot of money. Layer in patterns and textures all through your inside design. These touches will be very fun and galvanizing. As properly, the textures add a new sense dimension to your room. When people are having fun with your area, they are going to be engaged not only by their eyes, but also by their sense of contact.
When choosing colours on your inside design, avoid going with fads. Olive inexperienced partitions might have been standard once upon a time, but it may make your property look dated. Go for impartial colours that may stand up to the check of time. That way, you would not really feel like it's a must to repaint yearly. If you plan to sell your own home at some point in the future, attempt to use bland colors when redecorating. Shiny colours will be offensive to some people, so if your private home's interior is full of radiant color schemes, some property patrons could also be turned off by your own home's interior design.
If you find yourself decorating your lounge, you'll want to create a focus in the room and organize furniture from there. Your focal point generally is a massive window or perhaps a fire. Should you work to have your furniture compliment this focal point, you'll have a room you'll be happy with. Your rooms ought to reflect your personality. While it should seem nice for company, you'll be living in it. Design your room with your individual preferences in thoughts. You'll be able to all the time get new stuff in case you decide you truly don't prefer it.
Anybody who is present process an inside-design venture can be wise to incorporate mirrors into the room. Mirrors have two major benefits to any room they are in. First, they offer the appearance that the room is larger than it is, and second, they mirror gentle making your room look brighter. If you have a sufficiently big front room to drag the furnishings off of the wall and create a extra attention-grabbing space for you and your family. Placing the furnishings smack dab against the wall is a big mistake folks make when they are arranging the furnishings of their living room.
Do not forget that consistency within an area is essential to the general look. For example, don't place a modern sofa in a room with an old, antique fireplace. Deciding on a single, cohesive theme ensures that the completed product achieves the desired look and feel. If you want to add a dramatic contact to a room without repainting it totally, you possibly can choose one wall to paint in an accent shade. This must be a vibrant coloration that coordinates with the remainder of the room's colors but undoubtedly stands out. Think about using a primary shade in a room that is in any other case painted in pastels, for instance.
A very good factor to consider if you find yourself hanging mirrors is to place them throughout from a window. The mirror will reflect gentle off of the window and into the room. The top result's a brighter, more open room. As you found above, there are various things that it's good to take into account when planning an inside design undertaking. With all there is to think about, the secret is understanding what there is to plan. At that's left is for you to get began on your challenge, retaining the following pointers in mind.
Be sure you embellish your mantle accurately. You can also make certain the mantle objects are properly balanced. Your total room will be thrown off if the items on the mantle are unbalanced. When you're putting your tv in your living room and on the lookout for a pleasant spot for it you must suppose where you're seated. The bottom of the tv ought to be about at chest stage from the place you're seating in the room. This may create a extra gratifying television expertise.
Lots of people are afraid of inside design because they really feel they must do it all of sudden. You possibly can really begin very small, like picking out a lamp or coffee table that you just actually like.

Delaware County Drug Task Force featured in Netflix documentary
Corey Ohlenkamp
MUNCIE, Ind. – It's not every day that you see sweeping shots of your hometown on a documentary on Netflix, but Muncie and Delaware County are featured in the second episode of season two of the streaming services's show "Dope".
The series, which examines the different sides of the drug epidemic in America, spent some time in Indiana. The episode titled "You're Too Innocent for This Game," tries to get a better handle on the meth epidemic that has swept the state in the past five years.
That meant some familiar faces from the Delaware County Drug Task Force joined the narrative expanding from Gary to Terre Haute and right back here in Muncie when the documentary crew came through in July 2017.
According to Delaware County Sheriff Ray Dudley, the department has been used to having documentary crews on with them in the past. Different administrations have had them. "It's nothing new, but it's just getting the message out on what we do and what goes on in their community,"
►RELATED: Muncie police arrest four, seize $27K in meth, guns
"Dope" found a different way to show how drugs affect communities across Indiana by not only following law enforcement but by following the dealers and the users in local communities as well.
Law enforcement like the Vigo County Drug Task Force made an early raid on a suspected home grown meth lab, a common sight across the state because "shake and bake" meth labs in plastic bottles are easy to make.
Ingredients needed for a small home meth lab can be purchased at a pharmacy and hardware store, such as drain cleaner or nasal decongestant. It's why the drug swept across the state.
At its peak in 2015, nearly 1,500 labs discovered across the state of Indiana, spreading along the state's network of highways, according to the documentary.
While meth was the focus of the episode, heroin and opiate use have been on the rise and have somewhat pushed meth aside, according to officials.
"We have such a huge opiate problem and every community is reaching out for help," Dudley said.
►RELATED: Community slammed by opioids tidal wave
While the episode focused specifically on meth, Dudley said that the meth usage was down a little in the area. Users who tried heroin have become addicted to that.
That because the drugs go in cycles, according to Dudley.
"We are seeing an increase in crack cocaine because when you first try that, unlike heroin, it doesn't kill you like the heroin laced with fentanyl does," Dudley said. "No other drug has been claiming lives that like the fentanyl-laced heroin has."
Dudley has seen the episode and said it was a fair look at the epidemic across the state.
►RELATED: Three arrested as task force seizes $20K in meth
Beyond following the Delaware County Drug Task Force in a raid with undercover officers, the show also followed a meth user only identified as Diana.
From walking near the Madison Street underpass after midnight to scoring a hit of crystal meth, the episode didn't pull any punches on just how addicting the drugs can be.
Seeing those faces though helps humanize the drug epidemic, something that Dudley thought was important for the public to remember when dealing with drug users.
"Those individuals addicted to that drug are somebody's son or daughter and somebody's mother or father," Dudley said. "These people are still part of our community."
He said that the overall message he hoped people understood about the narrative is that even in small towns across Indiana they are battling the same epidemics of drugs that bigger cities face.
No matter what the drug is, the sheriff said that it will take the community working with law enforcement to combat the drugs in the community. That can range from getting help for those addicted or reporting suspicious behavior to the police.

Who owns the Biggest Yacht in the world? How much does it cost?
Sakshi Goel
Biggest Yacht in the world: If you are looking for a luxurious holiday, how about the sea? Not enough. Well, what about a Superyacht! That sounds like a plan, right? A living smooth as butter with a pinch of sea salt to taste. Now that is a luxury we are going to talk about.
A yacht that houses swimming pools, cinemas, spas, conference rooms, helicopter pad, activity rooms, and whatnot. These facilities make superyachts higher than any average five-star hotel.
Biggest Yacht In The World
The ranking of the top 10 most luxurious yachts is as follows: 10. Nord, 9. El Mahrousa, 8. Prince Abdulaziz, 7. A+, 6. Al Said, 5. Dilbar, 4. Dubai, 3. Eclipse, 2. Fulk Al Salamah, 1. Azzam.
The biggest superyacht at present is famous as Azzam with 590 feet (180 meters) in length. Azzam was launched on April 5, 2013, as the longest private motor yacht in the world. The yacht was constructed in Germany with an estimated cost of $605 million.
Mubarak Saad al Ahbibi directed the construction of Azzam along with design by Nauta Yachts, interior design by Christophe Leoni, and technical engineering by Lurssen yacht. It gets power by a combination of two diesel engines and two gas turbines with a total power output of 47000 horsepower (35048 KW) with four pump jets.
Azzam's construction is backwards, But why? Because its interior design got confirmation way before the exterior design. It has a capacity of 4000 people along with 60 crew members.
Who owns Azzam?
All the biggest yachts around the globe gave ownership rights in the hands of the richest people in the world or have anonymous owners. The majority of these luxury yachts in the world, developed for private use only. However few of them are available for charter. Charter yachts gets exemption from taxation in some countries.
The owner of the Azzam is Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the President of the UAE.
Is Azzam the most expensive yacht?
The answer is No. The most expensive yacht in the world have a coating of 24-carat gold and is famous as History Supreme.
History Supreme is sold to Malaysian Businessman Robert Kuok for $4.6 billion.
The yacht developed with in three years with 10000 Kilograms of gold and platinum. It contains a master bedroom made of platinum, a wall feature from meteoric stone and a T-Rex dinosaur bone adding to its Worth. It also has a 68 Kg 24-carat gold Aquavista Aquarium and a rare 18.5-carat diamond liquor bottle.

As part of the PBN concept there exist two main macro-categories of navigation specifications: area navigation (RNAV) and required navigation performance (RNP). The main difference between RNAV and RNP is the requirement for on-board performance monitoring and alerting. A navigation specification that includes a requirement for on-board navigation performance monitoring and alerting is referred to as an RNP specification. One not having such a requirement is referred to as an RNAV specification.. The capability to undertake performance-based navigation (PBN) for both rotorcraft and fixed-wing aircraft is one of the "future" navigation concepts being embraced by industry experts around the globe in the present. Representing a shift from sensor-based navigation, the PBN concept sees performance requirements identified in navigation specifications, which also identify a choice of navigation sensors and equipment to be used to meet the performance requirements.
According to the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO's) PBN manual (Document 9613), the PBN concept specifies that aircraft RNAV and RNP system performance requirements must be defined in terms of their accuracy, integrity, continuity and functionality.
In Europe, some of the first applications of PBN have already taken place using the Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) approach and RNP 0.3, which are both part of the PBN family of navigation specifications.
In June 2015, a CHC Helikopter Service Sikorsky S-92 equipped with dual Universal Avionics SBAS-Flight Management Systems (FMS) car- ried out the first LPV approach to Florø, one of the first Norwegian air- ports to be equipped with LPV capability.
In Switzerland, Rega, one of the country's leading helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) providers, has been working closely with the Swiss Air Force on a RNP 0.3 low flight network (LFN) that links hospitals as well as military airfields and landing sites. The Norwegian Air Ambulance is involved in a similar project to achieve an RNP 0.3 instrument flight rules (IFR) route net in Norway.
RNP 0.3 is a navigation specification for all phases of helicopter operations with a requirement for on-board navigation performance monitoring and alerting. Under this navigation specification, the required accuracy is 0.3 nautical miles (nm) for all phases of flight, which means that during operations in airspace or on air traffic service (ATS) routes designated as RNP 0.3, the lateral total system error must be within ±0.3 nm for at least 95 percent of the total flight time. The along-track error must also be within ±0.3 nm for at least 95 percent of the total flight time. To meet this performance requirement, a flight technical error of 0.25 nm (95 percent) may be assumed.
According to ICAO, the operations envisaged by the helicopter community included reduced protected areas, potentially enabling separation from fixed-wing traffic to allow simultaneous non-interfering operations in dense terminal airspace, as well as low level routes in obstacle- rich environments to reduce exposure to icing environments. Seamless transition from en route to terminal route was also envisaged, as well as a need for more efficient terminal routing in obstacle-rich or noise-sensitive terminal environments — something particularly relevant to HEMS IFR operations between hospitals, and around airports supporting the offshore industry. Other operational needs leading to the development of the RNP 0.3 navigation specification included transitions to point in space (PinS) approaches and for departures.
"Most modern IFR twins now come suitably equipped [for PBN] as standard," Steve O'Collard, a technical pilot at CHC Helicopter, told Vertical. "In addition, there are after-market systems that are fully compatible." According to Robert Clare, Universal Avionics' director of sales, there are approximately 120 S-92s in the field with his company's SBAS- FMS system installed.
In Europe, there are not many large-scale implementations of PBN for helicopter operations beyond the use of LPV approaches to aerodromes that have published RNP approach procedures to LPV minima. The acceptable means of compliance to the PBN section of European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) air operations regulations dealing with operations that require specific approval aren't even published for the RNP 0.3 specification. This means that operators wanting to implement RNP 0.3 — to derive the benefits of PBN for phases of flight other than the approach phase — must refer to ICAO's PBN manual.
Kistler said that bad weather currently prevents around 600 people from receiving emergency assistance from the air each year in Switzerland. "We see the possibility to increase the number of patients we are able to transport in marginal weather conditions [through the LFN]," he said. "We also believe that by routinely flying on an established, well known IFR network, we can further improve the level of safety as opposed to NVIS-aided VFR [visual flight rules] night operations." According to Kistler, another setting where RNP 0.3 helicopter operations could provide benefit to both helicopter operators and wider air navigation systems are IFR transit routes through busy airspace at inter- national airports.
0.3 IFR low level routes, supported by WAAS. Raw GPS has an accuracy of 10 meters, but if augmented by either space-based or ground- based augmentation systems, it can achieve accuracy levels of one meter and 10 centime- ters, respectively.
For a helicopter company to perform PBN operations, O'Collard said it must first install equipment that satisfies the "aircraft requirements" of navigation specifications. Next, it must have operational approval from the applicable civil aviation authority to use the equipment. "This approval will cover not only normal and abnormal operational procedures, but also training," he said.
ICAO's PBN manual highlights that airworthiness certification and recognition of RNP 0.3 aircraft qualification alone does not authorize RNP 0.3 operations. "Operational approval is also required to confirm the adequacy of the operator's normal and contingency procedures for the particular equipment installation applied to RNP 0.3 operations," the manual states.
According to ICAO, the operating procedures to be developed, docu- mented and implemented include pre-flight planning, RNP 0.3 availability prediction, general operating procedures, RNP 0.3 standard instrument departure (SID) and standard instrument arrival route (STAR) specific requirements, as well as contingency procedures in case of loss of the RNP 0.3 capability.
The training program should provide sufficient training (in a simulator, training device, or aircraft) on the aircraft RNP system to the extent that the pilot is familiar with the content of the RNP 0.3 navigation specification in ICAO's PBN manual. Flight crew training should also include required navigation equipment and minimum equipment list for operation on RNP 0.3 ATS routes and RNP system-specific information. Simulator and/or aircraft training should also be delivered to familiarize the flight crews with RNP equipment operating procedures and as contingency procedures.
Several regional SBAS programs have been implemented so far, each complying with a common global standard. Therefore, all are compatible and interoperable, and do not interfere with each other. An operator with an SBAS-capable receiver can benefit from the same level of service and performance no matter which coverage area they are in. Existing and in-work SBAS include the WAAS in North America; the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) in Europe and North Africa; the Multi-functional Satellite Augmentation System (MSAS) in Japan and GPS-Aided Geo-Augmentation Navigation (GAGAN) in the Indian subcontinent.
Staffeldt, a type technical pilot of the S-92 at CHC Helicopter. "In parallel, the operators should be updating aircraft to SBAS capability and training the crew to achieve RNP authorization.
PBN for rotary wing operations has significant potential to improve reliability and safety as well as air traffic management. However, it still has to develop a critical mass. While the availability of technology installations and upgrades put PBN within easy reach for operators, without the sup- port of air navigation service providers (who must develop more public PBN procedures) and industry regulators (who must oversee the opera- tors wanting to upgrade to PBN capability), the benefit of PBN operations for the helicopter community will remain largely unfulfilled.
[Avionics Magazine 04-12-2016] United Airlines recently completed a project in the Federated States of Micronesia designed to take advantage of the advanced navigation capabilities of its airline fleet, increase safety, and generally make United pilot's lives easier there. Working with FAA and ICAO's third party Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) Hughes Aerospace Corp., the airline is now using Micronesia's first ever Area Navigation (RNAV) Required Navigation Performance (RNP) procedures at Pohnpei International Airport.

United is one of the only international carriers servicing the 6,800-foot runway at Pohnpei, and has needed the new procedures for years. The airport has no radar coverage, is surrounded by challenging terrain and has been limited ground-based and RNAV GPS approaches. With this in mind, the airline decided to take advantage of the advanced RNP navigation capabilities featured on its fleet of Boeing 737s.
"United has been flying to the islands of Micronesia for many years. Many of the islands, including Pohnpei, only had ground-based approaches known as Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) approaches. The FAA did add RNAV (GPS) approaches but they generally have paths across the ground similar to the NDB. In the case of Pohnpei, this meant the approach was at an angle to the runway. The new procedure offers a straight in approach so the pilots are lined up with the runway when they break out of the clouds," Ron Renk, chief technical pilot at United Airlines told Avionics Magazine.
The new RNP procedures at Pohnpei provide United pilots with vertical guidance down to the runway surface, lowered instrument approach minimums from 920 feet and 3 miles, to 259 feet and 1 mile. Hughes Aerospace worked with United to complete the design, validation and publishing of the new procedures within four months, and the airline has now begun using them.
United will also now benefit from reduced fuel burn and carbon emissions at Pohnpei.
"The new approach offers many benefits over the approach it supplements. The flight path is optimized with is connection to the enroute airspace, saving fuel and CO2 emissions. It also has lower minimums, meaning we can more reliably get into Pohnpei even when there is [bad] weather. By far though, the best thing for us is the increase in safety offering a straight in approach versus the offset RNAV (GPS) approach," said Renk.
Chris Baur, CEO of Hughes Aerospace, worked with Renk as a third party service provider to lead the deployment of RNP at Pohnpei. He told Avionics Magazine that the use of the new procedures are projected to lead to some significant fuel savings for United as well.
The new approaches deployed at Pohnpei are similar to PBN procedures that the FAA has been deploying throughout the U.S. National Airspace System (NAS) under its NextGen program. According to the agency's latest reported information, 59 percent of air transport category registered aircraft in the U.S. are equipped to perform RNP 1 with curved path procedures, while nearly 100 percent are equipped with avionics to fly more basic forms of PBN such as RNAV 1, RNAV 2 and RNP Approach.
Baur said one of the keys to deploying the new procedures in Pohnpei, is the process that the FAA has developed for redesigning airspace to allow properly equipped aircraft to choose the best path and approach to airports with challenging terrain.
"Even 10 years ago, the avionics for RNP were not consistent throughout the industry. And that's changed and evolved significantly over the last 10 years. The FAA's regulatory process has evolved significantly as well. That allows you to develop these types of procedures," said Baur.
"I've been flying since 1979 and I'm blown away by how far we have come. The FAA deserves a lot of credit because they incubated, a lot of this. We have worked with them on it over the years; they are the ones who put this whole plan together. While I think they catch a lot of heat about NextGen, at least from our perspective we think they are doing a great job with NextGen and we enjoy the opportunity to work with them on the implementation of things like this," he added.
Building highways in the sky requires getting your feet dirty. Luckily, I wore boots the day I accompanied a team from Hughes Aerospace Corp. through the ranchlands of Cisco, a tiny rural town smack dab in the middle of Texas. Today's job: validating a slate of new performance-based navigation (PBN) procedures that Hughes built for the operators of a new airport in Cisco. At the edge of the Angle R property, adjacent to an approach path, a tree limited the minimum altitude for a certain approach; its height had to be verified for a final data package to be sent to the FAA for approval of the procedures.
[Avionics Today 08-12-2015] Operators using Myanmar's two busiest international airports, Mandalay and Yangon, can finally begin using Performance Based Navigation (PBN) practices after the country's civil aviation authority approved and validated their first ever GPS-based procedures, which were badly needed in the country. Both airports have now unlocked the use of PBN, after flight validations were completed at the end of July through collaboration between experts from Hughes Aerospace and Honeywell.
Chris Baur, CEO of Hughes Aerospace, working with a team of Myanmar pilots to implement the country's first PBN procedures.
Using a Cessna Caravan equipped with a retrofitted Garmin G1000 avionics package, Chris Baur, CEO of Hughes Aerospace, lead a team of Myanmar pilots through the first-ever PBN validation flight in Myanmar.
Airlines and operators flying into both Mandalay and Yangon can begin using the new procedures immediately, Baur said. Operators will not be required to become certified or undergo any training there, as the majority of international carriers flying with modern aircraft have the avionics equipage and pilot training necessary to fly PBN procedures.
Like the rest of the country, Myanmar's airspace was ruled by a military junta until 2012 and had never undergone modernization of its aviation infrastructure. Over the last several years though, the Myanmar government has been rapidly modernizing its economy, and its airports.
While the initial benefits will mainly be around the safety and flight operational efficiency of aircraft flying into and out of Yangon and Mandalay, implementing PBN also serves as a foundation to manage future air traffic growth in the region. The Airbus Global Market Forecast for 2015-2034 has predicted that the Asia-Pacific region will lead the world in air traffic by 2034.
Myanmar is the second major GNSS procedures project that the Hughes-Honeywell partnership has completed this year, following the implementation of GBAS approaches in China early this year. Honeywell, like most other major U.S.-based suppliers, sees Myanmar and the greater Asia-Pacific region as a major area of growth for the global aviation industry. Growth begins with projects such as the recently completed ones in Myanmar, and continues with aircraft equipage and air traffic management modernization, according to Michael Underwood, director of business development at Honeywell Aerospace.
Beyond Myanmar, Honeywell and Hughes are in similar talks with other Asian-Pacific countries for aircraft navigation modernization projects.
[Avionics Today 05-26-2015] China's Civil Aviation Administration (CAAC) has unlocked a new capability for reducing delays and increasing efficiency at the country's most congested airports that could be ready for live operational use by the end of this year. A recent flight demonstration by Honeywell and Hughes Aerospace showed the benefits of the SmartPath Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) for next generation GPS-based precision landings.

Using a China Eastern Airlines Airbus A321 and a Shangdong Airlines Boeing 737-800, flight crews demonstrated the first ever Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) instrument approaches in China at the end of April. To enable these precision landings, SmartPath's four ground-based antennas take an aircraft's GPS signals and sends them to a single box located on the airport, which then correlates the signals for a high degree of integrity before beaming it back up to the aircraft for precision landing guidance.
Hughes Aerospace CEO Chris Baur also noted that the demonstrations were done in Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC), providing a real world flight environment for the airline pilots.
"We built GLS approaches to all of the runways at Pudong," said Baur. "We built GLS approaches to 35L and 35R and 17L and 17R. Then we did something that hasn't been done anywhere before where we built multiple GLS approaches to one runway. For Runway 35L, we built a straight-in GLS approach and variable geometric path approaches, one with a 2.8 degree flight path angle and one with a 3.2 degree flight path angle.
Baur said the team also built two non-linear curved path, or XLS, approaches for Runway 35L, and the approach was flown to an automatic landing in IMC conditions. The trial flights provided a demonstration that exploited all of the benefits of the SmartPath technology, such as the ability to merge GLS with Required Navigation Performance (RNP) procedures to create a custom path to the runway based on the type of aircraft being flown.

Davis says the implementation of the new procedures at Pudong can provide a model for dealing with wake turbulence issues from different aircraft as well. With heavier aircraft such as Boeing 747s, 777s or Airbus A380s dispersing an enormous amount of wake turbulence from the wings, aircraft in trail behind them are often forced to maintain very lengthy separation distances. An airport as busy as Pudong can face huge efficiency challenges when this happens.
SmartPath has already been deployed in Australia, Brazil, Germany, Spain and Switzerland, and CAAC sees it as one of the key tools for managing future increases in air traffic. The International Air Transportation Association (IATA) expects China to have 415 million air travel passengers annually by 2016, which would be second only to the United States in domestic passenger volume.
According to Davis, the majority of aircraft coming off of production lines today are equipped with Multi-Mode Receivers (MMR) capable of performing GBAS landings and the localizer guidance and glide slope guidance for a SmartPath approach looks the same to a flight crew as if they were flying an ILS approach.
Going forward, the new procedures must now be certified by the CAAC and Air Traffic Management Bureau.
"We should have this station up and certified by the end of 2015, or the early part of 2016 with many airlines ready to fly the new GBAS procedures shortly thereafter," said Davis.
The one-day demonstration on April 29 took place at Shanghai's Pudong International Airport using a China Eastern Airlines Airbus A321 and a Shangdong Airlines Boeing 737-800 with senior officials from China's Civil Aviation Administration (CAAC) and air traffic management bureau onboard. Anchoring the capability is a Honeywell SmartPath ground-based augmentation system (GBAS) that has been operating at the airport since January.
The approaches at Pudong demonstrated key benefits of a digital GBAS landing system (GLS), including the ability to merge the GLS with satellite-based required navigation performance (RNP) procedures for a customized 3-D path to the runway. RNP provides the aircraft with narrow horizontal and vertical paths into the vicinity of an airport, where GLS provides the precision guidance to landing. The SmartPath system, the first certified GBAS landing system to be installed in China, uplinks digitized approach paths and correction factors to GPS signals to allow an aircraft equipped with a multi-mode receiver capturing GPS signals from space and the GLS information from the ground station to fly as many as 26 approaches to multiple runways. A GLS can replace or augment traditional instrument-approach architectures that use analog horizontal and vertical guidance transmitters placed at each runway end to transmit a straight-in path to the runway, typically at a 3-deg. glideslope. Those systems are costly to maintain and require flight inspections on at least a semi-annual basis.
Navigation procedure developer Hughes Aerospace drafted eight approaches for Pudong in partnership with Honeywell. Included are GLS procedures for Runway 35L that offer a traditional straight-in approach with 3-deg. glidepath, a curved approach that mates with an RNP arrival and intersects a straight-in GLS final, a straight-in approach with 2.8-deg. glidepath and a straight-in approach with a 3.2-deg. glidepath and a 3,517-ft. displaced threshold. RNP approaches with curved paths can be used to join with a GLS approach closer to the airport, saving track miles and fuel compared to legacy approaches, or to avoid noise-sensitive areas.
Chris Baur, president and chief executive of Hughes Aerospace, says choices for glidepath angle potentially could allow airports to increase runway throughput by mitigating wake turbulence concerns. For example, the arrival rate could be increased by having a heavy aircraft fly an approach with a lower glidepath while a lighter aircraft uses the steeper glidepath approach with displaced threshold.
SmartPath, to date the only FAA-certified GLS on the market, is installed at several airports worldwide, including Newark (New Jersey), Houston, Frankfurt and Sydney, where a growing number of aircraft equipped with multi-mode receivers (MMR) can access the capability. The systems are currently approved for Category 1 instrument approach minimums (aircraft must be in visual conditions at 200 ft. above the runway to continue the approach), but the FAA and others are working toward Cat. 2 (100-ft. minimums) and Cat. 3 capability (50-ft. minimums or less, including autoland) in the next several years. The FAA says Cat. 3 operations could be available in the U.S. in 2018.
A handful of airlines globally are beginning to use GLS as an alternative to a straight-in legacy instrument landing system (ILS) with a 3-deg. glideslope, particularly as newer aircraft are available from the factory with the option. Boeing says it has more than 1,000 GPS-equipped in-service aircraft, with the number growing by 25 per month. The airframer says one-third of all new 737s are being delivered with the MMRs, which are standard equipment on the 747-8 and 787.
Delta Air Lines conducted its inaugural GBAS landing with a Boeing 737 at Newark Liberty International Airport on Feb. 18, joining United Airlines and British Airways, which were already flying the approaches there. The FAA says United is averaging 65-70 GBAS landing system (GLS) approaches at Newark and Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport each month with a portion of its 737 and 787 fleets. United has 95 737s and 14 787s with MMR avionics, and is selecting the option for all new 737s.
Delta is using the approaches in Houston as well as in Newark, and has a fleet of 42 GLS-equipped 737s. The carrier is investigating GLS for its Airbus fleet. In total, the airline plans to have 177 aircraft equipped for the approaches by 2019, according to the FAA. A growing number of international airlines also are using the capability at Newark and Houston. Emirates conducted its first GLS landing in Houston in December with an Airbus A380, one of 57 GLS-equipped A380s at the time. The carrier also uses the approaches at Frankfurt, Sydney and Zurich. Lufthansa made its first GLS landing in Houston in December with one of 12 equipped A380s that also use the approaches at Sydney and Frankfurt. Cathay Pacific made its first GLS landing in Houston, with a 747-8, at the end of January. The FAA says Virgin Atlantic is also planning to seek operational specification approval for the approaches into Newark. Other carriers purchasing GLS-equipped aircraft include Air Berlin, Qantas, Swiss, TUIfly and various Russian airlines.
Next steps for Pudong include CAAC certification of the GLS at the airport, an inaugural process that may allow for quicker installations at other airports in the country.
A China Eastern AirlinesAirbus A321 and a Shandong Airlines Boeing 737-800 flew a series of instrument approaches to the Shanghai Pudong International airport on April 29 using a Honeywell-built ground-based augmentation system (GBAS) and instrument-approach procedures developed by Hughes Aerospace, marking the first public demonstrations of the technology in China.
The Honeywell SmartPath GBAS landing system (GLS)—which augments GPS signals to boost accuracy to required levels—is the first certified system to be installed in China. One GLS, which can output guidance for up to 26 approaches to any runway, replaces traditional instrument-approach architectures that require horizontal and vertical guidance systems to be placed at each runway end. The single system covers approaches for all four runways at Pudong and saves on a variety of regular inspection and maintenance costs.
SmartPath, to date the only FAA-certified system on the market, is installed at several airports around the world, including Newark, Houston, Sydney and Frankfurt. The GLS is currently approved for Category 1 (Cat 1) instrument approach minimums (aircraft must be in visual conditions at 200 ft. above the runway to continue the approach), but the FAA and others are working toward Cat 2 (100-ft. minimums) and Cat 3 capability (50-ft. minimums or less, including autoland) in the next several years. The FAA says Cat 3 operations could be available in the U.S. in 2018.
Other "firsts" on April 29 include the demonstration of curved approaches that connect to the GLS, and approaches with lower- or higher-than-standard glideslopes, including a 2.8-deg. flight path angle (FPA), a 3.2-deg. FPA and the standard 3.0-deg FPA. The 3.2-deg. FPA approach also included a displaced threshold of 1,072 ft., an offset that could help avoid the potential for wake turbulence during parallel runway operations, Hughes Aerospace CEO Chris Baur said.
Hughes, which is partnered with Honeywell on the project, is one of three FAA-certified third-party providers of NextGen procedures. Baur said the company built eight approaches into Pudong. The two commercial aircraft each flew 4-5 non-revenue approaches in instrument weather that day, he said.
Next steps for Pudong include certification at the airport by the China's Civil Aviation Administration (CAAC) and Air Traffic Management Bureau, a process that may allow for quicker installations at other airports in the country.
ORLANDO, FL (March 5, 2015) – Bell Helicopter, a Textron Inc. company, (NYSE: TXT), has contracted Hughes Aerospace Corporation to develop performance based navigation (PBN) procedures for use by operators flying Bell helicopters with advanced onboard navigation systems in China. The selection process for the first location in China is underway.
Performance-based navigation (PBN) is a general term that defines navigation performance requirements for an air traffic route, instrument procedure, or defined portion of airspace. PBN provides safer and improved access to airspace, reducing the possibility of Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT), and improves all-weather helicopter navigation. Satellite-based navigation delivers lower approach minima resulting in fewer weather-related delays and diversions, fuel savings due to less flight time through optimized routing and more reliable, repeatable flight paths.
Bell Helicopter, teamed with Hughes Aerospace, is exploring the development of performance-based navigation (PBN) procedures for Bell operators in China equipped with advanced navigation systems. PBN defines navigation performance requirements for air-traffic routes and instrument procedures. The procedures would enable the helicopter operators to optimize access to airspace, flying more direct approaches and departures than they would otherwise under IFR-base routes or those designed for fixed-wing aircraft, said Chris Jaran, vice president for Bell Helicopter in China. "The flexibility PBN delivers to operators translates into less fuel burned and time in the air, effectively increasing the number of flights a helicopter can perform before requiring maintenance," added Hughes Aerospace president and CEO Chris Baur.
