This powerful combination of treatments exfoliates and tones the skin, increases circulation and lymph flow, and promotes the elimination of toxins. The purifying body scrub begins with the application of a warm aromatic citrus spice body oil.

Finally, you will be wrapped in a cocoon of moist heat to enhance the detoxification process through the skin.
Perfect for our dry mountain climate, this rich moisturizing body scrub combines the exfoliating benefits of fine mineral salt with the richness of organic shea butter.

Ayurveda means the "Science of Life." Developed 5,000 years ago in the Vedic culture of India, Ayurveda is a body of knowledge which supports individuals in realizing their full human potential with vitality. Seasonal guidelines are offered regarding diet and behavior. Ayurveda reminds us that health is the balanced and dynamic integration between our environment, body, mind, and spirit.
Abhyanga is a traditional Ayurvedic full-body massage using light to medium pressure with a warm herbal oil chosen for your constitution. This sacred anointing nourishes the skin, lubricates the joints, and calms the nerves. Warming friction strokes increase circulation and balance energy while releasing deep seated tension, toxins, and lymphatic congestion. A luxurious hot oil scalp massage conditions dry hair and melts away mental stress with added Marma point acupressure to encourage energy (prana) flow throughout the body.
Marma point therapy is an ancient Ayurvedic treasure, now becoming known in the West. There are seven Maha (great) Marma points which correspond to the Chakras, or energy centers of the body, and 100 other points, many of which are found on the face and head. Stimulating these points through acupressure and massage address physical, mental, and emotional imbalances, encouraging the flow of energy (prana) throughout the body. With essential oils, this harmonizing treatment induces a deep state of tranquility and restores balance. Guests are fully clothed or a 90-minute session may include massage upon request.
Abhyanga is traditionally done with an added steam bath to help the nourishing body oils penetrate deeply into one's system. This swedana (sweating) therapy opens pores and supports the removal of toxins and excess doshas from the body.
Administration of balancing herbal oils through the nostrils and ears helps soothe and protect these sensitive passageways. Nasya nasal therapy can benefit those suffering from allergies, sinusitis, frequent colds, stress, insomnia, and headaches. Karna Purana is the practice of dripping herbal oil into the ear, which supports ear health and issues such as tinnitus, hearing loss and vertigo.

Welcome to image alignment! The best way to demonstrate the ebb and flow of the various image positioning options is to nestle them snuggly among an ocean of words. Grab a paddle and let's get started.
On the topic of alignment, it should be noted that users can choose from the options of None, Left, Right, and Center. In addition, they also get the options of Thumbnail, Medium, Large & Fullsize.
The image above happens to be centered.
The rest of this paragraph is filler for the sake of seeing the text wrap around the 150×150 image, which is left aligned.
As you can see the should be some space above, below, and to the right of the image. The text should not be creeping on the image. Creeping is just not right. Images need breathing room too. Let them speak like you words. Let them do their jobs without any hassle from the text. In about one more sentence here, we'll see that the text moves from the right of the image down below the image in seamless transition. Again, letting the do it's thang. Mission accomplished!
And now for a massively large image. It also has no alignment.
The image above, though 1200px wide, should not overflow the content area. It should remain contained with no visible disruption to the flow of content.
And now we're going to shift things to the right align. Again, there should be plenty of room above, below, and to the left of the image. Just look at him there… Hey guy! Way to rock that right side. I don't care what the left aligned image says, you look great. Don't let anyone else tell you differently.
In just a bit here, you should see the text start to wrap below the right aligned image and settle in nicely. There should still be plenty of room and everything should be sitting pretty. Yeah… Just like that. It never felt so good to be right.
And just when you thought we were done, we're going to do them all over again with captions!
Look at 580×300 getting some caption love.
The image above happens to be centered. The caption also has a link in it, just to see if it does anything funky.
Itty-bitty caption.
Massive image comment for your eyeballs.
Feels good to be right all the time.
And that's a wrap, yo! You survived the tumultuous waters of alignment. Image alignment achievement unlocked!

Wimbledon draw: Youngest qualifier Cori Gauff faces Venus Williams in first round
Cori Gauff faces Venus Williams in the first round while Ashleigh Barty's route to the Wimbledon final could be strewn with former champions.

Fifteen-year-old qualifier Cori Gauff will face five-time champion Venus Williams in the first round at Wimbledon, where Ashleigh Barty's route to the final could be strewn with former champions.
Gauff became the youngest Wimbledon qualifier in the Open Era at 15 years and 122 days when she defeated Greet Minnen 6-1, 6-1 on Thursday.
And she has been rewarded with a meeting with an all-time great in the 39-year-old Venus Williams, who herself was just 17 when she made the US Open final and lost to Martina Hingis.
Williams had won six Grand Slam titles, including two at Wimbledon, when Gauff was born on March 13, 2004.
Gauff is the 2018 Roland Garros junior champion and 2017 US Open junior runner-up – the youngest ever finalist at the event. She is considered one of the best of her generation and touted to be the next Serena Williams.
Barty, whose maiden grand slam success at the French Open and victory at the Birmingham Classic last week has seen rise her to the top of the WTA rankings, is the number one seed in the women's singles but the draw has been no kinder to her as a result.
WATCH | Barty: A part of me still hates tennis
She opens against Zheng Saisai but faces a possible third-round clash with 2017 winner Garbine Muguruza and a quarterfinal against defending champion Angelique Kerber or Serena Williams, who are on course to meet in the last 16.
The first round of The Championships...

— Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) June 28, 2019
Kerber starts her title defence against Tatjana Maria while 23-time slam champion Serena Williams faces qualifier Giulia Gatto-Monticone in the first round.
Maria Sharapova also features in a star-studded top half of the draw, and there is plenty to whet the appetite in the bottom section, including a prospective quarterfinal between Simona Halep and Naomi Osaka.
Wimbledon draw: Nadal faces possible Federer clash in semifinals
World number two Osaka, the reigning US and Australian Open champion, takes on Yulia Putintseva – who beat her in Birmingham - first up and may have to deal with a fourth-round encounter against another former world number one in Caroline Wozniacki.
Halep, the 2018 French Open champion, meets Aliaksandra Sasnovich in the opening round and could face Aryna Sabalenka in a round of 16 that may also feature a contest between Sloane Stephens and two-time winner Petra Kvitova.

Shakib granted NOC to join CPL
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) gave ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan a NOC to take part in the ongoing Caribbean Premier League (CPL).
He has given the NOC subject to return to the country as per BCB's wish, said Cricket Operations Chairman Akram Khan.
He said that the Bangladesh cricket's biggest star would join the franchise-based Twenty20 tournament and is expecting him to be available before the preparation camp for the upcoming tour of India, scheduled in November comprising three Twenty20 Internationals and two Tests.
"We have given him the NOC to take part in the CPL. But there is condition that we are expecting him to be available before the preparation for the series against India," Akram Khan said here on Tuesday.
"But we are yet to finalize the date of his return. After going through our practice schedule we'll take decision on that."
Shakib will leave the country on Wednesday, a day after the Tri-nation T20 series final in which he leads Bangladesh against Afghanistan. He will represent Barbados Tridents. The 32-year-old missed the last edition of CPL due to an injury and was replaced by Steve Smith.
Shakib's best T20 bowling figure 4-1-6-6 came in this tournament in 2013, which remains the all-time third best bowling figure in this format.
Meanwhile, the BCB officials have insisted that they haven't taken a decision regarding Afif Hossain, who was denied NOC after being picked by the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. Afif was not given the NOC as BCB wanted to prepare him for the ongoing tri-series by making him play the High Performance Unit of Sri Lanka at home.

Home / Blog / Actress Babita leaves for Bangladesh after a successful "Journey for Child Right & Sight" in the United States
Actress Babita leaves for Bangladesh after a successful "Journey for Child Right & Sight" in the United States
October 28, 2011 By DCI
DCI has been organizing an ongoing, large-scale benefit campaign on behalf of impoverished children called the "Journey for Child Rights & Sight". The most recent phase of the journey was led by Babita, the famous film star of Bangladesh, who is now a Goodwill Ambassador for DCI. She departed the USA on October 25th to return to Bangladesh after a very successful campaign.
As Goodwill Ambassador of DCI, Babita first came to USA on the 1st of September. Babita attended DCI's Conference on Child Rights & Sight at Yale University and joined many people working to find creative solutions to the poverty faced by the world's children every day. Her excellent message aimed to create awareness and encouraged everyone to get involved to help distressed children and their families.
The Journey for Child Rights & Sight Benefit Show is a call-to-action to inspire our youth and the global community to support underprivileged children around the world. Its recent events showcased internationally acclaimed actress Babita Akhtar, Executive Director of DCI Dr. Ehsan Hoque, and extraordinary musical performances by renowned Bangladeshi actress Beuty Das and local artists. Each stop on the journey was an evening of celebration and hope.
The aim of this campaign is threefold:
1. To raise awareness of child labor, child poverty, and blindness.
2. To build a stronger network to fight against the exploitation of children, alleviate poverty, and prevent treatable blindness.
3. To promote the protection of child rights worldwide.
The series of events took place in many cities in different states around the USA, including Illinois, Connecticut, New York, Texas, Georgia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and California. Many people came to meet Babita at these programs and were captivated by her dedication and love for underprivileged children.
Babita said, "DCI is a US non-profit working for the underprivileged children and their families in Bangladesh. DCI has child sponsorship programs and health programs for village children, street orphans and slum residents. It is a small organization with genuine interest to help the poor. I was amazed to see that it runs on 100% volunteer support and all their accounting is published in the web for everyone to see. Another unique aspect of DCI is that it involves youth in all its activities. This connects young Bangladeshi Americans to their roots in Bangladesh. Now I am an integral part of DCI and proud to serve in its mission."
She also said, "It is truly heartwarming to see that people so far away from here, people from all walks of life, are thinking of ways to help Bangladesh. My resolve to work for the needy has been renewed and strengthened. Please let us forget our differences and focus on helping the needy. Let's grow as a nation together."
All proceeds from the Journey for Child Rights & Sight will be used to support childhood education and blindness prevention programs in Bangladesh through DCI.
Dr. Peter Salovey, President of Yale University
As Yale's president, I am proud that our campus is home to this significant forum for advancing the cause of child rights. The partnership between Distressed Children & Infants International and Yale is built on shared values, and has proven to be deeply and reciprocally fruitful. The organization's core mission, much like the university's, is one founded on service and leadership.

After waiting four days for the ship to arrive and then another 5 business days we finally drove Troopy and Tom's BMW motorbike out of the Vladivostok port on Thursday afternoon, the 17th June. With the help of the wonderful staff at Silver Wind Corporation (Vladimir Zhenikhaylov, Vladimir Myachin, Vladimir the Port Manager and Marina Averinov) the task of getting our vehicles through customs meant that there was little work for us to do other than signing documents and waiting. The customs process took all of Thursday beginning with a customs inspector accompanying us to the container to check Troopy's engine number, chassis number and contents. It was very helpful to have a list of contents already translated into Russian. Thanks to Alex and Lilia for doing this for us. We are very thankful for Vladimir and Marina who took good care of us at the customs house by helping us fill in forms, ferrying us from one office to the next, and Marina did an excellent job translating our documents from English into Russian. We'll add more practical details on shipping from Australia to Vladivostok when we get home.
Once we had our vehicle, it was a rather hectic evening packing everything in its place, bolting the rooftop tent to the roofrack, stocking up with supplies and filling the fuel and water tanks. We did not get to bed till after sunset (which is around 10:30pm) and got up before dawn (which is around 5:30am) to begin our journey across Russia and Mongolia. We had a terrific time in Vladivostok and met some wonderful people but it was great to be on the road again.
Getting out of Vladivostok was not too difficult once we found the entry road onto the main highway north to Kharbarovsk. The GPS came in very handy showing Troopy the way. We did buy a Russian Road Atlas here but unfortunately, it didn't have a road map of Vladivostok. Geoff had acquired GPS city maps for most main Russian cities and this came in very handy indeed.
The majority of the Russian drivers here are good courteous drivers, so we didn't have to dodge the traffic like in Asia. Speed is very much policed here in Russia. Radar detectors are everywhere and in the towns. There is even a big cardboard picture of a police officer with a radar gun positioned strategically on the roadside to discourage people from speeding. We encountered the first of many police checkpoints. They were very friendly. We didn't quite understand what they were wanting from us so we just gave them our passports and driver's licence. We told the police that we are going from Vladivostok to St. Petersburg and they were quite envious. They wished us a pleasant journey and sent us on our way.
We stopped at a fuel station not far out of Vladivostok. It was interesting trying to tell the attendant to fill our tank with fuel. We didn't know why he was standing there waiting beside Troopy. He seemed to be telling us something in Russian. Then the universal sign language for money came up and we realised that the way to get fuel here is to first go and pay the amount of fuel required and the cashier will release the fuel at the bowser. Note that you can get a refund if you bought too much. The cost of diesel is around AUD $0.60 cents per litre.
We just can't get over how green everything is. The forest is very dense. Being summer here, the wild flowers are out in full bloom. There are hues of yellow, orange, cream, red and blues dotted all over the countryside. We noticed many young men stopping by the roadside to pick bunches of flowers for grandma or girlfriend.
The first place we wanted to call at was the Amur Tiger Sanctuary at Gaivoron which was highly recommend by David and Hazel Barker from Sydney. We managed to find our way there by asking the locals for directions and with the help of the GPS. We were very pleased to find Victor and Lena Yudin who very kindly showed us the two tigers in residence. They were both resting on a high stone perch looking very pristine and grand indeed. We also saw a family of bears being fed and the young cubs having a sibling squabble over who gets to have a drink first. While we were at the sanctuary, a group of 4 militia came to visit with Victor. They got talking with us and invited us to drink Vodka with them. They were very surprised that neither of us drank especially seeing that they had the best Russian Vodka on offer. In the end, Tom our travelling companion got "persuaded" to down a shot with them.
After visiting the tigers, we continued on our way to Kharbarovsk. As it was getting late, we decided to stop and camp. We found an old quarry just off the road and decided to make camp there. We could tell that the Trans Siberian Railway line was not far away as we could hear trains all night long. The mosquitoes were out in force with a special Siberian welcome for us. Ouch! The flies are also huge, plentiful and also bite.
The sun was up very early the next morning. We continued on our journey after a quick breakfast. Along the way, we stopped to buy strawberries and mushroom sold by some of the town folk on the side of the road. We also saw some water pumps as we drove through small towns on the way. Every town seemed to have a communal water pump from which the locals draw water. Some would walk to the pump with a big milk can sitting in an old baby pram or stroller. Some parts of this rural way of life, the countryside, and sleepy town/village atmosphere remind us very much of our previous travels through Malaysia, Thailand, India, Nepal and Western China.
We arrived at Kharbarovsk just as it began to pour rain! The Amurski Boulevard was immediately flooded. We stopped at a café to enquire about a possible ferry or bridge across the mighty River Amur. The Russians, as usual, were very helpful. We could see a couple of them really putting a lot of thought into how they could help us. In the end, after much signing and pointing to the phrasebook, we understood that two men would come with us and show us the way to the bridge that would take us across the River Amur. We were very grateful to these two Russian men who went out of their way to help us. We dropped them off at the railway station and made our way back to collect Tom who was waiting with his motorbike back at the riverfront. Unfortunately, Tom had his camera stolen while we were getting ready to go and have some lunch down in the main street. We did wonder why there were two teenagers hovering very close to Tom's bike. One was at the rear pannier pointing to his padlock while the other was at the front extracting the camera from it case which was hung around the rear vision mirror bar. The camera was stolen despite the three of us standing right next to the bike. We decided to stay the night in Kharbarovsk so Tom could buy a new camera and we could have a look around this pretty city.
The main street in Kharbarovsk is a wide tree-lined street with old European style buildings on either side. It certainly is a tourist town with expensive looking stores and paved walkway from the centre down to the beach front. There were lots of people out and about shopping, drinking and strolling. Being a Saturday, the wedding parties were out having photos taken in front of the war memorials and statues of Lenin etc.
After a good night's rest in the Hotel Amur, we were ready to hit the road again. Geoff had tracked the route we took with the two men the day before on the GPS. We were able to find our way back to the bridge and cross the Amur River without having to pay any toll. The bridge was over 2km in length and was very impressive.
The road to Birobizhan was quite foggy with a heavy mist. The locals were obviously menaced by mosquitoes on the sides of the road. There were smoky fires on the sides of the road to keep the mosquitoes at bay while people worked on the road and in fields. Again, the police checkpoints were no hassles at all and we were able to have a friendly chat about where we come from and where we are going to. We arrived in Birobizhan around lunchtime and decided to have lunch in town where there are fewer mosquitoes and flies. Birobizhan began as the capital of the Jewish Autonomous Region since 1934. This did not last long due to the anti-semitism and persecutions of the Soviet years resulting in a remnant population of about 10,000 Jews in this city. The town is full of poplar trees in full bloom and lots of white fluffy flowers wafting everywhere carried by a slight breeze. A few townsfolk came up to have a look at the vehicles and to study the number plates. They shouted "Welcome" and shook our hands. One fellow got us to autograph his ten rouble note. We felt like celebrity!
The condition of the road from Birobizhan to Chita, a distance of 2000km, varies from little more than a bush track or rough corrugations to potholed tarred roads, smooth and in places, good gravel. There are massive road works going on everywhere with heavy machinery cutting into sides of hills, graders and bulldozers going in every direction. This road is a work in progress and will improve quickly given the amount of resources at hand. The Russian Government is spending 30% of their annual road budget on constructing the 2000km section of road between Birobizhan and Chita. The road is expected to be completed in 2008. When finished, Russia will for the first time ever, have a highway that links the entire country from West to East.
We met a Japanese overlander, Masayuki who was riding an Africa Twin 750 cc. He took his bike on the ferry from Japan to Vladivostok and is going across to Central Asia and on to Iran, Turkey and India. Not long after we met, we found Masayuki and his bike sprawled on the gravel road. Two Russians cars were talking very excitedly and loudly as though in a panic. We stopped and were very relieved to discover that Masayuki was unhurt. He came off his bike on a stretch of loose gravel road. While he rested and recovered himself, we helped to pick up his bike and panniers and other bits. His dashboard and left hand indicator was bent. Geoff took off the whole front flaring and bent the dash and indicator back to allow the steering to move more freely. We then had to bend the pannier racks back into some sort of alignment so that the panniers could be locked back into place. It was not perfect but with some ratchet straps and bungy cords he was at least able to ride his bike. , We escorted Masayuki to the next town, Akhara, where we left him to sort out his bike. That night we found another old and disused gravel pit where we camped. It was open and secluded and we had a nice meal and went to bed early before the mosquitoes started looking for their evening meal. We were also thankful that we did not encounter any Siberian bears or tigers.
All along the way, we kept seeing lots of second hand Japanese vehicles that must have just come off the docks in Vladivostok. We were able to talk to a few of the drivers along the way at different roadside stops. We found out that they are driving these vehicles to cities in Western Russia. One driver said he has a car business and has just bought five of these from Japan. The others are driving their newly acquired Toyotas or are driving the cars back to be sold. Many people think that driving across Russia is pretty wild, but these drivers make it seem like just a long leisurely drive. They had the headlights and indicators heavily taped up to prevent damage from loose gravel. They also attached flaps of cardboard to the wheel arches to protect the paintwork getting damaged by stones. We followed them all the way to Chita. No doubt we will meet some more of these drivers on the road further west.
Russians seem to enjoy their outdoor life. We passed many vehicles stopped by the rivers and streams having picnics and a swim. We came upon a group of the drivers washing and bathing by a beautiful stream. It looked too inviting to pass up the opportunity to have a wash. So, we joined a few of them. The water was freezing cold to swim in and we could only manage a wash. We felt very refreshed after that.
The Siberian Forest is very impressive, thick with pine trees and poplar trees. The road took us up steep mountainous climbs and down to grassy undulating hilly country. This reminded us of Colorado in the USA. The taiga countryside is full of wild flowers which form a beautiful colourful carpet against a backdrop of pine, larch, spruce and fir trees. We also saw some chipmunks crossing the road. We followed the train line and were amazed at how often the trains run. We understand that there is a train going somewhere every two minutes or so. Everything looked so picturesque that it was hard to find the right words to describe it all.
We got stopped at a police checkpoint halfway. After having our passports checked, the five policemen wanted us to help them pump up a flat tyre on their patrol car. This brought back memories of our time in Wadi Halfa at the Egyptian and Sudanese border post where the Egyptian soldiers asked us to pump up their tyres so that they could deport us back to Sudan.
We got to Chita about nine o'clock at night after having to drive at a slower speed for the last 200 km. This was due to the fact that we had discovered two cracks in Troopy's front window pillar. This is the third time that this has happened and is a weakness in the early 75 Series Troopy design. We tried to check into a hotel but there were no vacancies. A very friendly Russian man named Wiwo Vladimir helped to give instructions on how to get to other hotels. However, we were still unable to find a vacancy. Wiwo very kindly invited us to stay in his flat, 13 km from the city centre. We followed his vehicle to his apartment block. The Soviet era apartment blocks may look old and somewhat run down on the outside, but it was very cosy and comfortably furnished when we entered Wiwo's two bedroom and one lounge apartment. It is a wonderful opportunity to be invited to Wiwo's house and experience a little bit of the Russian way of life. We got to dinner very late and finally tumbled into bed way past midnight. There was a loud thunderstorm in the middle of the night.
We awoke to a very nice clear day. Our first task was to find a garage which could repair the pillars on Troopy's front window. Our new found friend Wiwo helped us find a great garage that was able to accept the challenge. They did the repairs in about two hours. Meanwhile, the staff and Manager made us very welcome with cups of coffee and bottles of mineral water. It is a family business, so the Manager's mother came to say hello. She heard that we are tourists from Australia. After the job was finished, we had to have pictures taken in front of both vehicles with all the staff. Once again, we are blown away by Siberian hospitality and welcome.
The next job on our list was to buy a new tyre. We had a flat tyre on the gravel section from Birobizhan to Chita. Wiwo took us to a universam. It was like a wholesale warehouse selling everything from toilet cisterns, toothpaste, shampoo, to car and truck tyres. It was not easy to find the right tyre for Troopy. Most of the tyres are wide and would not fit our rims. The owner of the store got involved in our search for a suitable tyre. He used to be a scientist in plasma research many years ago. He felt bad that he could not supply us with the right tyre so he gave us12 litres of engine oil as a gift. He also took us to many different tyre wholesalers but to no avail. In the end, we decided to try a Russian made tyre. The manager George served us personally. He had certainly gone out of his way to help us for which we are very grateful.
Wiwo then took us to a Decembrist Church. It was a very rustic looking church made of timber logs, very much like a log cabin but shaped like a small cathedral. As we walked around the church, we could hear beautiful music coming from the inside. We got invited to the recital. There were two sopranos accompanied by a pianist and a cellist. They were singing Russian Classical music written by various composers including Pushkin and Glincski. It was just a wonderful setting for a small recital. We were then approached by an American with a Russian wife and living in Chita. He teaches English at the Chita University and has a small business in bringing teachers from the US to come to Chita to teach English. We also met one such teacher called Sophie. Her one year contract finishes in July and she has had a great experience teaching English here.
The main organiser of the musical ensemble in Chita came over to introduce herself. She was very keen to offer passing tourists the opportunity of experiencing Russian classical music. Elena Alexandrovna would only be too happy to organise such music recitals for tour groups or even a small audience. We will include her contact details in the practicalities section.
Well, we have had many fantastic experiences so far. We have been so impressed with the Russian friendliness and hospitality wherever we go. There is always a lot of interest in Troopy and Tom's BMW motorbike. The weather to date has been excellent with beautiful warm sunny days with only a couple of brief showers.
Our next destination will be Lake Baikal. So, dasvidanya for now. Stay tuned for the next update.

La Société d'Emboutissage et de Constructions Mécaniques, nota anche con la sua sigla SECM e citata come SECM-Amiot, Avions Amiot o semplicemente Amiot, che fu marchio e cognome del proprietario e fondatore Félix Amiot, fu un'azienda aeronautica francese, attiva nella manutenzione, sviluppo e produzione di aerei civili e militari nella prima metà del XX secolo.

Storia
La SECM venne fondata da Félix Amiot il 26 luglio 1916 sulla spinta dell'esigenza da parte del Ministère de la Défense francese di sviluppare l'arma aerea durante la prima guerra mondiale e che vedeva un rapido sviluppo del settore aeronautico nazionale. La sede originale venne aperta a Parigi, in Avenue des Ternes, dove le attigue officine si incaricarono di manutenzionare e produrre su licenza parti e modelli di concezione francese, Morane-Saulnier e Breguet, o britannica, Sopwith. L'attività si espanse talmente da dover aprire, alla fine del 1917, una seconda fabbrica a Colombes.

A conflitto concluso, nel 1919, l'azienda lasciò la fabbrica di Ternes per trasferirsi in uno nuovo stabilimento a Colombes dove, all'inizio del decennio successivo, vennero sviluppati nuovi modelli, tutti a velatura biplana e a struttura metallica, destinati al mercato dell'aviazione civile, come il SECM 20 da turismo e il SECM 23 da trasporto, e gli addestratori SECM 22 e SECM 24, il primo proposto alle autorità militari nazionali.

Nel 1927 Amiot acquisì la Société Latham di Caudebec-en-Caux che resterà una sua controllata fino al 1930, anno in cui il governo francese costituì la Société Générale Aéronautique (S.G.A.) nata dall'incorporamento di diversi produttori aeronautici: la Compagnie des Avions Hanriot, la Chantiers Aéro-Maritimes de la Seine (CAMS), la Société Anonyme Nieuport-Astra inclusa la sua controllata Société Aérienne Bordelaise, la fabbrica motoristica statale Lorraine-Dietrich. I fratelli Paul e Pierre Wertheimer e Amiot, come detentori dei pacchetti azionari della fabbrica, realizzarono dei dividendi impressionanti. Ma nel 1934 ci fu il crollo della società, e per evitare uno scandalo politico-militare, il governo autorizzò i fratelli Wertheimer, Amiot e Marcel Bloch ad acquistare la società a basso prezzo. Amiot e i fratelli Wertheimer rilevarono la loro parte per una miseria. In quegli anni la ditta realizzò numerosi velivoli, tra cui l'idrovolante Amiot 110S, i bombardieri Amiot 122, 143, 340, 350, il ricognitore Amiot 130 e il velivolo per voli di lunga durata Amiot 370. Nelle fasi iniziali di riarmo Amiot ottenne un considerevole successo con il bombardiere Amiot 140, che diede vita a tutta una famiglia di aerei tra cui il più noto fu il bombardiere Amiot 143.

I nuovi modelli di bombardieri realizzati prima dello scoppio della seconda guerra mondiale andarono incontro a numerosi problemi di sviluppo, e i rapporti tra la S.E.C.M. e l'Armée de l'air peggiorarono sensibilmente. Indubbiamente Félix Amiot commise degli errori, ma il Ministero dell'Aviazione fu responsabile di numerosi ritardi: cambiamento di politica, termini di pagamento, diminuzione improvvisa dei prestiti, ecc. Inoltre la costruzione in serie era problematica in Francia, e Pierre Wertheimer partì nel gennaio del 1939 per gli Stati Uniti con l'intenzione di avviare un impianto di assemblaggio a New Orleans, Florida. Allo scoppio della seconda guerra mondiale i fratelli Wertheimer lasciarono subito la Francia per il Brasile, stabilendosi poi a New York, ed incaricando Amiot di vegliare sulle loro proprietà.

Il 3 giugno 1940 i laboratori e le fabbriche aeronautiche Amiot di Le Bourget vennero gravemente bombardati. Due giorni dopo fu la volta di Cherbourg. Il 10 giugno Amiot evacuò il suo personale (circa 3.000 dipendenti) verso il sud della Francia. Egli ottenne 3 milioni di franchi da parte del governo trasferitosi a Bordeaux come risarcimento per gli ordini ricevuti prima della guerra. Secondo i dettami armistiziali Amiot dovette riportare il suo personale a Parigi, ma egli scrisse Ma io sono riuscito a sottrarre l'ufficio progettazioni e a mantenerlo nella zona libera (Mais j'ai réussi à soustraire le bureau d'études et le maintenir en zone libre). L'ufficio tecnico si installò a Vichy, ed egli continuò a cercare di recuperare i pagamenti in ritardo per le commesse antecedenti la guerra e per ottenere nuovi finanziamenti. Inoltre costituì una fabbrica aeronautica a Marsiglia, sottraendo così tanti lavoratori al S.T.O (Service du travail obligatoire).
Nella primavera del 1942 i dipendenti di Amiot rimasti nella zona occupata dai tedeschi cercarono di ricreare una loro produzione. Si rivolsero a Pierre Wertheimer, diventato amministratore presso la fabbrica aeronautica statunitense Bell, ma la cosa si rivelò impossibile. Cercarono così di costituire una squadriglia con i colori della Francia Libera nell'Africa del Nord. Felix Amiot finanziò di tasca sua una rete che riuscì a far passare una dozzina di persone in Nord Africa, inviando contemporaneamente informazioni agli inglesi. Purtroppo tale rete spionistica venne smantellata nel maggio 1943, con l'arresto da parte della Gestapo del suo capo Yves Maurice a Perpignan.

Félix Amiot si diede sempre da fare per tutelare gli interessi dei Wertheimer in Francia. Comprò le loro società di profumi (che essi si disputeranno dopo la guerra, al momento di ottenere il controllo dei marchi Bourjois e Chanel), dichiarando il falso per dimostrare che queste società erano puramente ariane. Inoltre cercò di dimostrare la sua buona volontà dando la disponibilità a collaborare con la fabbrica tedesca Junkers Flugzeug und Motorenwerke per costruire 370 aerei da trasporto Junkers Ju 52 (un contratto del valore di 1,2 miliardi di franchi). Amiot avrà ancora qualche problema con la Gestapo nel settembre del 1942, ma poté assumere la gestione di castelli, fabbriche, case di moda, stalle, ecc. di proprietà dei fratelli Wertheimer. Alla liberazione di Parigi ricevette il generale Omar Bradley al château de la Boissière-Beauchamps sito a Lévis-Saint-Nom. Mandò un telegramma ai suoi amici Wertheimer, annunciando la liberazione della Francia, ed essi al loro ritorno in patria si ritrovarono ancora più ricchi di prima della guerra.

A guerra finita i fratelli Wertheimer iniziarono un procedimento civile contro Amiot per recuperare il massimo di ciò che gli era stato confiscato. Comunque sia al termine della guerra Amiot si ritrovò in discrete condizioni finanziarie. Esercitò la licenza di produzione del trimotore Junkers Ju 52, che venne costruito in Francia sotto la denominazione Amiot AAC.1 Toucan. Di questo velivolo furono realizzati 400 esemplari, costruiti per l'esercito francese e per l'uso nelle linee aeree civili in Francia e nei suoi territori d'oltremare.

Life Out of Death - #7926 | Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc.
There aren't many visits to a graveyard that might be described as "amazing". But I had one some years ago that was nothing less than amazing. When our "On Eagles' Wings" outreach team of young Native Americans was on the Nez Perce Reservation in Idaho, we met this young basketball player named Quanah. He made a personal commitment to Jesus Christ that weekend, and he asked if he could go with our team to other reservations for the following two weeks. We don't usually add team members along the way, but because of the urging of some strong believers there and our own sense of Holy Spirits' unusual leading, we invited Quanah to join us.
When he returned home two weeks later, he told his parents this had been the greatest two weeks of his life and he really wanted to bring his friends to Jesus. About three weeks later, Quanah was gone. He died in a tragic automobile accident. His death hit his reservation friends really hard, and it helped many of them open their hearts to this Jesus. I was in Idaho, and I got to speak at youth outreaches in Quanah's memory. And more of Quanah's peers and family came to Christ.
Late one night, as I listened to Quanah's parents pour out their hearts, I told them that his spiritual home-going reminded me of that Bible verse that says if a kernel of wheat dies it will produce many seeds. And in my hand I held 48 cards of people who said they had made a commitment to Jesus that very night. The next morning, Mom and Dad took me to Quanah's grave, where his headstone had been placed only two days before. But I saw something on that grave that I didn't see on any other grave in that cemetery. In fact, I've never seen on any grave. There, by Quanah's new headstone, was growing a shaft of wheat, probably 3' high. There is no wheat field anywhere in sight and no one knows how it got there. Or maybe we all do.
I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Life Out of Death."
Our word for today from the Word of God comes from John 12:24. "Unless a kernel of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds." Jesus was speaking of His own death-what appeared to be a hopeless tragedy that turned out to be the victory that has given millions of us eternal life. What Jesus said about Himself here though applies to many who have died belonging to Jesus-whose death has been the wake-up call that brought others to Jesus. God will sometimes take someone who is very ready to meet Him so others who aren't ready will get ready.
That wheat growing out of a young believer's grave is a living reminder of the truth Jesus is teaching here, that we serve a Savior who brings life out of death, beginning with His own. And it may be a reminder you need right now, because you're going through a season or an experience that feels like "the valley of the shadow of death." A long, dark tunnel medically or emotionally. And from all you can see and all you can feel right in front of you, it seems mostly like it's a dying thing.
Your Savior says to think of your life as a seed-one which, if there is no dying, doesn't reproduce any life. "But if it dies, it produces many seeds." If you belong to Jesus, then that sense that "it's over" is a lie. Don't write "The End" on the screen. Write "The Beginning." Just ask Quanah's precious parents. Yes, they're temporarily separated from their son, but because of their living Savior, they know this is only an interruption in their relationship with him. And meanwhile, they can see how Quanah's departure to heaven was the beginning of eternal life for so many others.
So, if you feel like the seed is dying right now, don't succumb to the lie of despair that says this is the end. Not according to Jesus-who is the expert on life coming from dying. No, this time that seems to be so much about dying is your God's miraculous way of ultimately bringing new life.
So focus, not on the death you're feeling, but on the life He's birthing - like that wheat on a young man's grave.


Often the question arises: how can I calculate the penalty for unpaid alimony. The case is simple, only hard – you need to make time to have patience and to count.
Determine for what period of time was not income support.For example, alimony paid 1st day of the month, with no payments for three months (March, April and may) in the amount of 1 thousand rubles each month. Need to calculate the penalty on June 1. For simplicity of calculations it is possible to make a table in which first column is the name of the month. Under the terms of the following three lines will be March, April and may.
Enter the amount of alimony.In the second column next to each month shows the amount of child support that should have been paid. If the payer has not provided information about the salary, then the calculation of penalty is based on the national average wage. In this column there are three lines, 1000 rubles (according to the conditions of the example).
Calculate the period of delay of payments.In the third column is filled in with the number of calendar days of delay of payment on the day of payment of the penalty is June 1. In the line of March in the cell will be 91 days in the second line (April) is obtained 61 days and the line may has 31 days.
Calculate the penalty.In the fourth column, the calculations of liquidated damages for each month. To do this, the amount owed for the month is multiplied by 0.5% (according to the family code of the Russian Federation the debtor is charged a penalty of 0.5% daily, if the debt arose due to his fault) and multiplied by the number of days of arrears. The first line is obtained: 1000*0,5*91=455 rubles, in the second line: 1000*0,5%*61=305 rubles and may receive a penalty: 1000*0,5*31=155 rubles.
Fold received parametrima amount of a penalty were: 455+305+155=915 rubles.In the end, the total amount of payment along with the penalty will be 3915 rubles. If the debt is not repaid, then the next month you need to recalculate everything. Besides that added an additional line for the month of June, you must recalculate the penalty for all months. So, on July 1, the penalty for March will increase to 605 rubles (based on the increased number of overdue days to 121).
