A very versatile sewing pattern for skating or ballroom dancing.
Amazed how easy the collar it. Do not fear this style , instructions clear and each piece fits together beautifully.
Still feel the sleeves are long on the adult sizes. Nearly made a mistake on the facing folding it too much on the solid centre front line. But I knew it didn't look right and looked at the pattern piece again and noticed the markers . Crisis avoided. Instructions will have you sew down the front facings to desired level. Not easy when I don't have the skater in front of me so I winged it. Stitching over topstitching was easier than anticipated.
Love this pattern have another two to make for the same skater.
I have made 8 of these with long straight sleeves, t shirt band neckline; 4 with colour blocking , 4 with contrasting neck band and cuffs. For all I omitted the seam between briefs and body. The sizes I used were S, Z, AA and AA+ as one of my skaters needed extra width on the stomach area.
I found the larger sizes also assumed wearer would also be long in the arm. I reduced the sleeve length on all. The pattern went together easily and quickly. I had no issue with size of neck opening, all were a good fit.
The neck band for view A is inaccurate.
I have used this pattern three times, and regardless of stretch fabric, this neck band size never fits over their head. I need to add 1 1/2'' on the fold (3'' total) in kids size L for a 20'' head circumference.
Mostly, I use patterns as a basis for sizing and develop my own patterns, but the size on the neck band is way off.
Great pattern, with very manageable instructions.
My only reason for taking one point off on size accuracy is that if your dancer/skater/model is tall but slender, then it is a bit difficult to figure out the correct size. I had to make the call between choosing the correct length or width of the shirt, and went with his length, but had to take the shirt in quite a bit along the sides. It might be worth having a walk-through of how to fit the pattern to your model's body.
Really great instructions, which made even the slightly tricky parts clear. I am making my second shirt from this pattern now.
I absolutely love your patterns, I have made the figure skating pants also. This top pattern is a no brainer and it looks great, excellent pattern, lovely cut, and just love it. I've made the long sleeve rollerneck and more recently the shirt with collar and cuffs... for my son's James Bond routine. Absolutely love it, thank you, and he has probably 10+ tops but i enjoy the pattern so much.
I did my first in Bamboo Knit using the technique described in the instructions, and everyone thinks I'm a genius. My second one included the collar and cuffs. Very simple instructions with great diagrams. Love it.


I've read every single novel by author Tana French, ever since she came out with her debut In the Woods back in 2007.
Then, I heard French came out with her fifth mystery novel called The Secret Place, and I knew I just had to have it. So, I waited until it came out in paperback and pre-ordered it, so that once it reached my house I immediately dove in.
The Secret Place was fabulous. So far, it's my second favorite French novel, only narrowly missing the first place spot taken up by In the Woods, which will probably be my favorite mystery novel for ever and for always.
The Secret Place details the story of Stephen Moran and Detective Antoinette Conway as they unfurl the arms of a year-old cold case at a girl's boarding school in Ireland. Holly Mackey, the daughter of Detective Frank Mackey, both of which were in previous French mysteries, brings Stephen a card of a photo of the dead boy when he was a live, with the words "I know who killed him." Thus begins a 24-hour long investigation of eight teenage girls who are all connected to the murdered boy in some way.
I've always been in love with French's writing style. It's so clean and fresh, with biting truth and crystal clear character observations. French changed her usual writing format this time around by using generally two points of view: Stephen Moran and Holly Mackey. Her character developments through these points of view are very fluid, and nothing seems out of place or out of character. Also, the storyline in general is wonderfully woven; following the path Stephen takes getting to the bottom of the cold case, and watching Holly grow as a teenager throughout the entire novel, both plot lines are intriguing and well-written.
On the other side, the writing was almost too much for me at the beginning of the novel, and sometimes things threw me. To start, I've mentioned already the writing style is brilliant, but I felt there may have been too many choppy sentences or too much description at the beginning to allow the reader to really get into the story. But, I thought French really caught her groove close to the beginning and the style seemed perfect. Another thing I wasn't sure about was how long it took the detectives to reach the conclusion of their mystery: it was one day. Does it really only take one day of questioning, when in the past it was never solved?
But, despite these little things, I absolutely loved this novel. It really has been a long time since I've read a book I enjoyed this much, not just for the story, but for the storytelling. I can't wait for French to introduce the next novel in her Dublin Murder Squad series.
For more murder mysteries, check out Tana French's other Dublin Murder Squad novels, or look into American author Gillian Flynn or Canadian author Louise Penny.


Dolly and Isabel, members at Lifestyle Fitness South Shields both turned 80 this month.
They have been a member of the facility for over 12 years. Since transferring to Lifestyle Fitness in March 2013 when we took over the club, both now take part in Abs & Core, Circuit and Tone classes daily as well as using the main gym facilities.
Dolly has had 2 knee replacements and both times was back training within weeks with support from our team.
They feel coming to the club keeps them feeling young physically, mentally and emotionally - if they got to the point where they could not take part in classes or use the equipment they would still keep their membership as they enjoy the social aspect of being a member at Lifestyle Fitness.
Dolly and Isabel both train about 7.30am-8.00am each morning and both say if they are not feeling 100% when walking in they always feel fab when walking out.
They are never made, in their words to, "feel old" and "love the banter" with staff and PT's.

Richardson seeks to lead dialogue from mayor's seat
jstroud@postindependent.com
Dan Richardson
Editor's note: This is the last of three stories on Carbondale mayoral candidates. Katrina Byars was featured Wednesday and Ed Cortez on Thursday.
Dan Richardson views the job he was elected to last April differently than the one he aspires to fill in his bid to become Carbondale mayor.
"I do think it's important to differentiate the job of trustee from the job of mayor," said Richardson, who was elected to a four-year term as one of six trustees on the Carbondale town board in the April municipal election.
Richardson cites affordable housing, maintaining economic diversity and generally maintaining a productive community dialogue as key issues.
Soon afterward, he was appointed acting mayor for the interim when former mayor Stacey Bernot unexpectedly resigned due to a move outside town limits.
"During that time, I've found that my opinion is less important and that it's more important that I foster a good dialogue on the board," Richardson said. "I think I bring a skill set that allows me to thrive in that position."
Richardson desires to retain the mayor's seat in a special election to determine who will fill out Bernot's mayoral term until April 2018. Also running are current Trustee Katrina Byars, and Ed Cortez, a former member of the town board from 2002-10.
A consultant for SGM Engineering, Consulting and Surveying, Richardson is a native of Glenwood Springs who has lived the past 10 years in Carbondale. He served for four years on Glenwood Springs City Council from 2001-05.
"The number one job of the mayor is to listen and to understand different perspectives .… " Richardson said. "The last thing you want to do is jump to any conclusions."
Rather, "your job is to guide thoughtful responses from the whole board," he said.
That said, Richardson cites affordable housing, maintaining economic diversity and generally maintaining a productive community dialogue as key issues in the town.
"Affordable housing is and will remain an important issue for a long time to come, and I'm optimistic about what's happened so far," Richardson said, pointing to recent revisions to the town's development code that he said should promote smaller, more affordable rental units.
The town should support businesses that already exist, he said, while also fostering and welcoming new enterprise.
"What I don't see is us trying to compete as a regional marketplace, like Glenwood is," Richardson said. "That's not what Carbondale is."
A big part of what makes Carbondale unique is the arts and the various nonprofit organizations that promote the arts, he said.
"The town board's role is just to keep all of the things that are working in Carbondale, working," he said. "Carbondale has this balance of young artists who want to be here, and are willing to scrape by to do it, along with people who really appreciate and value art and are willing to invest in a community that is so artistic."
Richardson was a leading supporter of a failed attempt in the spring election to pass a carbon tax to promote environmental efforts in Carbondale. The measure was soundly defeated, as was a proposed mill levy to pay for a long list of capital improvements.
Going forward, Richardson said that finding ways to pay for needed infrastructure and diversifying the town's revenues are a higher priority than repackaging the carbon tax proposal.
The new City Market store that's now on track for construction next year may bring in more sales tax revenues, but the town can't rely on sales taxes alone, he said.
"One of the reasons I supported the capital tax was to diversify our revenue sources," Richardson said, adding that sales taxes are more vulnerable in economic downturns than are property taxes.
Regarding recent concerns about safety around Carbondale after a pair of assaults on young women over the summer, Richardson said he believes the town is taking a measured approach.
"It is a huge deal for the victims and the people associated with them, and I don't want to make light of that," he said, adding the town is doing what it can to address nighttime lighting and completing sidewalk links around town.
Richardson also addressed his job with SGM and a potential conflict with his firm's occasional contract work for the town of Carbondale in reviewing development applications and other projects. When that contract comes up for renewal he said he would recuse himself, as he would if there were ever a direct financial conflict.

In 2013, one in every 10 cigarettes lit up in the world was illicit, valued collectively at almost US$40 billion, with an equivalent tax loss to global governments. It is a phenomenon that impacts tobacco manufacturers, governments and the tobacco control community and which requires a coordinated international legal and technological response. This briefing outlines the nature of illicit trade and assesses whether a common approach is possible.
The volume of duty-not-paid cigarettes consumed in the world was some 570 billion sticks with an estimated value of US$39 billion.
Global illicit trade grew by 5% to reach a penetration of 9.5% globally. However, as with all tobacco statistics, China skews the picture. Consumption of illegal cigarettes declined by 3% in China in 2013 meaning that excluding it world volumes rose by 9% with a penetration rate of 12%.
Price differentials remain the key driver of illicit trade on both the demand and supply sides. Consumers purchase illicit products from a desire or necessity to save money, while illicit suppliers are attracted by the substantial profits on offer. Taxation and regulation are recognised as facilitators of demand, while weak governance and under-criminalisation aid supply.
Western European share of illicit increased more than any other region between 2008-2013 exemplifying the overwhelming appeal of untaxed products to some consumers in difficult economic times.
Illicit whites, cigarettes manufactured legally but with no legitimate destination market continue to gain share in Europe and Asia benefiting from their higher quality and non-adherence to packaging requirements.
Every tobacco stakeholder is impacted by illicit trade. Major companies suffer volume impairment; global state revenue loss is similar to the near US$40 billion market size and public health policies are undermined. Public and private agencies need to act in concert to combat the issue.
Do price increases always lead to increases in illicit?
Australia: Illicit fallout to plain packaging?
Who is responsible for combating illicit trade in tobacco?
Are illicit consumers more likely to be users of tobacco alternatives?

The port of Ensenada, Mexico stood prepared for the 629 students arriving from San Diego on ten buses. This group of anxious students would soon board a ship filled with faculty, staff, and crew members – all about to form one single, cohesive community aboard the MV Explorer.
As the students arrived, passport in hand and new best friend by their side, it was clear that they were about to enter a new world, a world of opportunity. The adventure begins, as they embark on a journey around the world, visiting 15 cities, in 12 different counties, over 112 days with Semester at Sea.
The UH Hilo Semester At Sea Scholarship Program is a cooperative partnership between UH Hilo and the Institute for Shipboard Education. The program's aim is to provide a unique learning experience and broaden a student's global perspective to create leaders for the future.

A wicked witch to enchant
Actor Tim Raby, who plays the baddest witch of them all. Photo/Greg Bowker
By: Dionne Christian
What: Badjelly the Witch
Where & when: PumpHouse Theatre, until Saturday, October 13
The baddest witch in all the world turns 45 this year, but Badjelly isn't hanging up her broomstick when there's still a legion of fans to entertain.
And in New Zealand we love to be entertained by Badjelly.
Although she flew in from the United Kingdom courtesy of much-loved comedian Spike Milligan's irreverent children's story — Milligan wrote it to entertain his own kids — the original stage adaptation is ours.
In 1977, theatre-maker Alannah O'Sullivan was editing scripts for Radio New Zealand when she was asked to adapt Badjelly the Witch. That script now holds the title of the country's most licensed play and, as of 2017, it had had more than 100 productions all over New Zealand.
Given that it's NZ Theatre Month, it's timely that Badjelly returns to charm a new generation of fans these school holidays. Tim Bray Children's Theatre Company reprises the show, using a script Bray wrote, which includes The Goon's Ying Tong song as well as a goodly number of nods toward Monty Python skits. (Milligan, of course, was a member of The Goons).

encapsulates the humour they became known for: far-fetched stories, bizarre characters, surreal comedy and wordplays as well as silly sounds effects (the trombone-playing mummy in Badjelly).
His company has staged Badjelly in 2010 and 2016 and it's been one of the most popular shows. Ask him why and he sums it up in a single sentence: "It's rude, it's silly, it's nonsense and it's Spike Milligan". At its heart, however, it's still the same story about Tim and Rose, who go into a deep dark forest to look for their lost cow, Lucy, and meet a whole range of extremely weird and very wonderful characters.
It's a fairytale in the mode of classics but pulled into contemporary times, where children remain intrigued by witches but want to laugh at giants with bare bottoms which, as far as the rudeness factor goes, is about as indecent as it gets.
"I hate the term but, you know, it's packed full of really great 'dad' jokes."
Ask Tim Raby why he likes to play Badjelly — it's his second turn as the wicked witch — and he'll tell you it is sheer fun.
"It's the joy of being wicked and being able to say things like 'stinky-poo' and 'knickers' and knowing the audience is going to scream at you," says Raby. "You do have to pull it back sometimes because you don't want to scare the audience too much."
Strangely Raby, who's from the UK, had never heard of Badjelly until he came to New Zealand. The story was published in 1973 and quickly followed by an LP, where Milligan read the story while music played, but it didn't receive the amount of love from the Brits that it did from New Zealanders. Indeed, entire generations have now grown up listening to the story on the radio and seeing it performed live.
The kids will also be able to read the book again. A new full-colour hardback gift edition, complete with audio CD on the BBC Radio play, has been released. Expect to have fun explaining — or trying to — how Badjelly can turn policemen into apple trees or bananas into mice.
Other shows to see these school holidays:
Beauty and the Beast: Contemporary songs, classical music and a Kiwi hit or two provide the soundtrack to this retelling of Beauty and the Beast where the emphasis is on the fairytale's deeper themes: look beyond the superficial, dare to be different, love is stronger than hate and always believe in magic. The magic includes a gutsy heroine, sumptuous Baroque-era styled costumes and a healthy helping of humour courtesy of a cast of experienced and emerging performers.

Entrepreneurs Expect Profits to Climb: Survey
By Matthew Rocco Published October 26, 2012 FOXBusiness
Startup business owners are confident that their businesses will become more profitable in the next 12 months, despite having less confidence in the overall economy, according to a survey from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and LegalZoom.
The quarterly index showed the most confidence among business owners this year. When asked if they expect increased profits in the next 12 months, 41% of respondents reported being very confident and 42% are somewhat confident. Entrepreneurs between 18 and 30 years old reported the greatest optimism, with 93% saying they are confident or very confident that profits will increase.
Entrepreneurs are becoming more confident in consumer demand as well. The percentage of startup owners who expect a moderate to significant increase was 45%, up from 35%.
The Kauffman/LegalZoom Startup Confidence Index, which was conducted last month, is based on responses from 693 entrepreneurs.
"We believe these findings are important because entrepreneurial confidence could be seen as something of a leading indicator, as new and young businesses prepare to lead the next economic expansion," Dane Stangler, director of research and policy at the Kauffman Foundation, said in a statement.

The percentage of startup owners who believe the economy will improve in the next year increased to 44% from just 32% in the last quarter. About 40% of those surveyed said they plan on hiring employees within the next 12 months, while only 16% applied for loans in the last year. Out of those who applied for lines of credit, the percentage of applicants who were approved increased 14%.
"Over the last four quarters of tracking entrepreneurial confidence, the one number that has grown steadily is 'intent to hire,' " LegalZoom chief executive John Suh said. "It is encouraging to see it at its highest rate yet this year."


Thanks for following along with this Jerry.
Very impressive work on all of the tribute builds. Nice job guys!
Looks good, Rich. You�re packing a lot into that little building.
Nice work by everybody doing a project. It's great sitting on the side lines and watching masterful modelers projects coming together. Am always learning something from such projects.
I've finished the basic external structure of the bins; chutes and other details need to be added. Meanwhile I started work on the upper, shed part. One long wall is built and I'm about to start the second one. The work goes fast but is pretty repetitive. Not complaining, though.
The completed wall is lying on the foreground.
What with changes in some of my plans I'm running short of certain sizes of scale lumber so another order to Fast Tracks is nigh.
Really like that board by board construction of your coal dock. Looking very good.
One question. I went back and looked at your sketch and wondered how you arrive at dimensions to build your structure?
Mike, that's an impressive looking structure!
I can clearly see why you need to order some more wood.
You all are doing excellent work here. Lots of fine modeling being shown.
Thank you, Bernd, Greg, and Bob.
Bernd, late 19th Century insurance maps show footprints for several coal sheds ranging in length from 150 to 300� in length. They were large structures. Model Railroader has published plans for coal sheds, one plan showing bay size to be 16�. Ten bays gives an overall 160� length, just under 2 actual feet, the length of stripwood I had that is appropriate for framing. The general framework mimics a drawing published in the 1870�s for a Lehigh Valley locomotive coaling facility.
Greg, I planned to use thin plywood for the slope sheets, but I�m liking the structure so much that I will probably do it with scale lumber.
Although not in this challenge myself, I'm looking on from time to time, and glad to see the one's involved. Nice work to all I see going on here!

Bingo, the light just went on.
I remember seeing a coal shed plan in MR. I've got the issue also. I get it now. It's the same that I've done with TT scale engine shed. Looked at several two stall plans and then used dimensions form those to come up with my own design.
Rich. your structure looking great. Nicely detailed walls inside and out.
Looking good Mike. Sure is a Long structure. Whats the overall length ?
Another small update from me.
The back wall has some different detailing.
Have got the other half (2 walls) together.
I like your technique of making that side of the building look like it needs some repair with the distressing of the clap board. I'm paying close attention to how it's done in the steps leading up to a finished building. Makes me more confident in my future structure building projects.

I might also note that Highland Park is subject to some batch variation. The first HP12 I tried (2012) is one of the best whiskies I have ever tried, with a fabulous smoky and dry finish that still lingers in memory – the whole whisky told a real story. The second bottle I owned was also fabulous (2014), but not what the first was. Now my third bottle, bought this year in 2015, is quite a bit of a disappointment not nearly showing the complexity and grace of the previous too, and sulphury.
Generally, very good, and worth a bad batch or two – if you're dissapointed you may have just had a bit of bad luck not representative of the worth of the whisky.
Thanks for comments Jason – a very good point about batch variability. All expressions are subject to this, and some seem to suffer more variability than others (likely depending on the complexity of their construction). My HP 12 yo is also from 2015, and it is interesting to hear of your experience.
As a reminder for those who are interested – by meta-critic scores all restricted to reviews done in the last 5 years, to at least ensure modern batches are being compared (i.e., there is even more variability as you go over a longer time frame).
Thank you for linking to my review, which incidentally was written in 2009. I always appreciate when my work is referred to whether in agreement or disagreement. incidentally, at the time of my 2009 review, my scores and thoughts were very much in line with Jim Murray's written review in his whisky 2008 Bible. He has subsequently reviewed newer batches but I have not.
Fortunately though, I have recently received a new bottle which I believe was produced in 2015. Initial sampling indicates that this whiskey is not what it once was. This seems to be a common refrain as I taste newer batches of both whisky and rum from many different producers. My suspicion is that increased demand for these spirits has led to these producers being persuaded to make compromises in order to satisfy increasing demand.
Thanks for the comments Chip, appreciate you adding that perspective here!
I should have mentioned that your review was from awhile ago. While I don't have Mr Murray's 2008 guide, he does reference in his current (low) score of HP 12 that this used to be one of his favourites. So there does seem to be a consistent view that quality has decreased over time.
I suspect a higher percentage of reconstituted casks, chilled filtration and use of less caramel is responsible for the change.
Review post just updated with additional details on the general change in reviewer scores over time.

Sport, Difference and Belonging
James Rosbrook-Thompson
Forlag Taylor and Francis
Serie Routledge Advances in Ethnography
Emne Society & culture: general; Sociology
Om Sport
This book combines historical and ethnographic components in examining the ideas about human variation subscribed to by coaches, commentators and sportspeople themselves. The book begins by interrogating the idea of the 'impulsive' black sportsman (and the 'impulsive' black male more generally), documenting how it came into being and gathered momentum throughout the course of British history. Drawing on the work of Paul Gilroy and Ian Hacking, the author then investigates whether such raciological ideas figure within the everyday behaviours of a group of young footballers.Presenting an original ethnographic study undertaken at Oldfield United, a semi-professional football club situated in London, he explores how raciological ideas (and other notions of human variation) shape the self-understandings of the club's players and thereby influence the possibilities for action available to them. In conceptualising the sense of "feeling alien" experienced by club personnel - in relation to mainstream discourses of nationhood, to politics, to the basic functioning of the nation-state and, at bottom, to the qualifications and requirements of British citizenship - 'Sport, Difference and Belonging' challenges the ability of the cosmopolitan tradition to make sense of contemporary urban phenomena and seeks to develop the sociological concept of denizenship.This book will be of interest to academics and students in the fields of sociology and social policy, 'race' and ethnic studies, urban studies, the ethnographic method, and the sociology of sport. It may also appeal to politicians, policy makers and those working in the field of 'race relations.'

Veterans Al Attiyah, De Villiers and ten Brinke will fight for victory at the world's greatest rally raid.
Toyota Gazoo Racing SA announced the team for Dakar 2018. The Japanese manufacturer has been a force to be reckoned with in the Dakar Rally since first fielding a Toyota Hilux in 2012, and their latest all-new Toyota Hilux promises a leap forward which, combined with an all-star driver line-up, will ensure that Toyota Gazoo Racing SA is ready to be a protagonist at the Dakar Rally in January 2018.
Former Dakar winner, Giniel de Villiers, will again partner with German navigator Dirk von Zitzewitz. The pair last won the world's most grueling automotive race in 2009, but have gone on to attain four podium finishes for Toyota. De Villiers recently clinched the South African Cross-Country Series championship with a round to go, with navigator Dennis Murphy beside him. The pair won four races on the trot, preserving Toyota's unbeaten record in the series, which stretches back to 2015.
De Villiers-Von Zitzewitz will be joined in the line-up by Qatar's Nasser Al Attiyah and French navigator Mathieu Baumel. The pair also raced with Toyota Gazoo Racing SA at Dakar 2017, winning the opening stage and leading the Dakar before retiring on Stage 3. Al Attiyah and Baumel won their fourth FIA Cross-Country World Cup this year, their third in a Toyota Hilux, and they are looking forward to taking the all-new race vehicle into battle in Dakar 2018.
"The Toyota Hilux has a reputation for reliability and durability," said Al Attiyah of the car. "This new version is sure to take all the best characteristics of the previous model, and deliver new levels of handling and balance thanks to its innovative design."
The third crew in Toyota Gazoo Racing SA's line-up will be Dutch driver Bernard ten Brinke, who will have French navigator Michel Périn beside him in the Toyota Hilux. Ten Brinke is a veteran of the Dakar Rally, having taken part since 2012. He raced a Toyota Hilux as part of the Overdrive Racing team in 2016, but 2018 will be his first outing as a full works driver.
"The Dakar Rally is undeniably the world's toughest automotive race," said Toyota Gazoo Racing SA Team Principal Glyn Hall, "The terrain, temperatures, altitude and navigation all play major roles. But to us it is also the ultimate challenge, and we are looking forward to continuing our quest for glory this coming January."
The Dakar Rally is the world's greatest automotive race, bringing together more than 500 competitors from as many as 60 different nationalities. The race takes 15 days to complete, takes place in three countries – Peru, Bolivia and Argentina – and covers more than 10,000 km. It is, quite simply, the most spectacular motor race in history, and Thierry Sabine, the creator of the Dakar, summed it up like this: "A challenge for those who take part, a dream for those who watch."

Lockheed Martin secures $481mn contract to build four MMSC ships

US aerospace, defense, security and advanced technology specialist Lockheed Martin has secured a $481mn contract to build four Multi-Mission Surface Combatant (MMSC) ships, the Pentagon revealed.
The MMSC is built on a combination of proven capabilities within Lockheed's existing Littoral Combat Ship and its Freedom-variant hull. The ships will have a 5,000-nautical mile range with the ability to reach speeds of 30 knots.
"The MMSC takes the proven capabilities of the U.S. Littoral Combat Ship and the inherent flexibility of the Freedom-variant hull to meet the unique maritime requirements of international navies," says Lockheed, describing the MMSC.
"With proven combat management system lineage, Lockheed Martin's MMSC has the interoperability necessary for today's joint and allied naval force manoeuvres."

The news of the contract comes in the same week as Lockheed Martin's Chairman, President and CEO Marillyn Hewson sharing an update on the company's wider performance during its annual media day event.
"Our corporation is uniquely positioned to help our customers build a bridge to the future – a bridge that facilitates a strong national defense, greater international cooperation between nations, and the shared development of technologies that can change the world for the better," said Hewson.
The ships will be built for and sold to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a country that has been working closely with Lockheed, driving this performance.
"Another key driver of our performance is our ongoing expansion of international sales," Hewson continued. "One of the most important examples of this potential is our central role in the security cooperation agreements signed between the United States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia last May."
"The historic agreements opened up the potential for the sale of $28 billion of Lockheed Martin technologies over the next decade. Saudi Arabia has expressed its intent to procure integrated air and missile defense systems, combat ships, helicopters, surveillance systems, and tactical aircraft in the coming years."

Past clients, referrals and repeat business currently comprise 83% of my business.
Besides the fact that my family's roots are in the Madison real estate industry, I decided to enter the field because I truly enjoying helping people. Nothing gives me more joy than being able to watch a first-time home buyer's excitement as they go through their first transaction or being able to help those struggling to keep their home get rid of a stressful burden.

"It was such a pleasure to work with Jen - out of all the Realtors I've dealt with both buying and selling homes over the last 30 years, she was by far the best. I interviewed 6 different agents before listing my home, and Jen was the only one who combined the knowledge of the market with the ability to find creative solutions to stage and make my home more attractive to buyers with the lowest investment of time and money from me. She made the entire sales process seamless and helped me negotiate multiple offers for my home to get me the most money. I would recommend her to anyone selling a home in the Madison area - she is simply the best!"
"After meeting with 3 Realtors, we decided to work with Jen for the sale of our condo and purchase of our single-family home because she was personable and had good knowledge of the areas we were looking at (East Madison, Sun Prairie, Windsor, Deforest, Cottage Grove). We took her advice on staging our home and had an offer two days after our first open house. Within 7 days, we had an accepted offer to sell our condo and an accepted offer to buy our new house. It was a whirlwind week and Jen was great to guide us through every step and meet our unexpectedly urgent needs. She was always responsive, honest and friendly."
"Sold my home with Jen and Matt, they made the experience very straight forward. From the very impressive local knowledge of the market and conditions that may affect the home selling process. This made the process very logical and gave a solid expectation of what to anticipate as an outcome. Was able to game plan to that expectation. They were highly responsive, with the home selling process - timing becomes critical and they hit every event with the up most immediate response - guiding me through each step in the process. Definitely realized why Realtors are so important in selling your home and the home buying experience too! Thank you Jen and Matt - I can confidently say "the outcome would not have gone so well without your help."

The growing use of data-driven technology and the increasing numbers of millennials in their prime years are converging to play a vital role in reshaping the U.S. and global economy. A primary beneficiary? The stock market.
Federated believes we are in the midst of a third major industrial revolution that is bringing the analog economy into the digital world, profoundly affecting the way we live, work and conduct business. That this comes as a new generation is about to push aside baby boomers as the largest population cohort in the U.S. only adds to changes that promise to support a secular bull well into the years ahead.


Technology has come a long way in terms of television reception. From terrestrial free TV, consumers are now able to choose between Cable or Broadband TV and Satellite TV. Cable television is the most popular medium of home television reception. Broadband Internet cable connection is available with this type of set-up. On the other hand, Satellite TV is making its presence felt across the country, especially in areas where cable is not available.
When faced with a choice between getting your entertainment, news, sports and lifestyle programs from either Cable or Broadband TV and Satellite TV, you have to compare these two options side by side.
Satellite TV requires at least one satellite dish placed outside your home. It should be located where the view of the sky is unobstructed by either nature or man-made objects. A box is required for each television set that will receive programs from the dish. Some satellite receivers come with DVRs (Digital Video Recorders). Depending on the type of service agreement you choose, the equipment can be purchased at the beginning of the contract or loaned to the subscriber for a guaranteed one year or more service contract.
Cable TV simply requires the proper cabling that will run into the house or building plus the cable box or receiver per television unit. The digital cable box is usually returned by the subscriber upon termination of the contract.
Satellite TV supports more than 250 channels of digital quality programming including Pay-Per-View shows. Less local programs are available through satellite reception. High Definition TV or HDTV services are offered by satellite carriers. You can access an interactive, electronic program guide through your remote control. With the DVR, you can record programs, rewind, pause, fast-forward and stop the show as you are viewing it.
Cable TV supports more than 300 channels. These are digital quality as well. Local channels are also part of their line-up as well as Pay-Per-View movies. Subscribers also have the option video-on-demand (a selection of movies and TV shows that subscribers can order and viewed whenever he wants). Cable TV also offers HDTV channels and an interactive, electronic program guide on your screen.
Satellite TV offers better reception when compared to Cable TV. It is 100% digital quality. Unfortunately, satellite reception is greatly affected by bad weather conditions. Cable TV also provides digital channels that show crystal clear images.
Satellite TV's initial cost is higher due to the equipment needed. However, this will still depend on the type of contract or commitment you are willing to sign with the satellite provider. Satellite TV comes out cheaper when compared to Cable TV on a per channel basis especially since all channels are digital quality. However, cable companies do offer smaller packages at lower prices.
Satellite TV and Cable or Broadband TV have their pluses and minuses. If you want more channels in all digital quality that comes out cheaper in some areas, satellite is the way to go. But remember you will be at the mercy of Mother Nature when you choose Satellite TV. On the other hand, Cable TV is not affected by obstructions like buildings, hills or tall trees. It can come bundled with broadband Internet connection for your surfing needs. Choosing between cable and satellite requires some thought so take your time and asses your needs and wants when it comes to watching your favorite TV shows.


Leading aerospace manufacturer Sigma Components, which forms Avingtrans plc's aerospace division, is launching a new range of lightweight aero-engine and airframe components, under the 'Sigma Lite' brand at Paris Airshow (Hall 2B, Stand G158).
Components in the range include composite pipes, lightweight end fittings and drive shafts, offering substantial weight savings compared to conventionally-manufactured counterparts.
Mark Johnson, founder and managing director of Sigma Components, said: "The need for lightweight, greener, more fuel-efficient aircraft continues to present a real challenge to the industry, shifting the focus of aerospace manufacturers towards composite components.
"If that kind of difference can be generated by just one component, it's not difficult to imagine the potential savings on offer if more composite and lightweight components were to be used.

Seafarers UK and Sea Cadets in the limelight at inaugural Maritime UK National Awards Evening
Seafarers UK and Sea Cadets have won the STEM Award at the first national Maritime UK Awards event, held in Southampton on Thursday 19 September. The STEM category was sponsored by DFDS and the award was for Seafarers UK's 'Marine Engineering Pathway' project, delivered in partnership with Sea Cadets.
Seafarers UK was also privileged to be chosen as the official charity partner for the inaugural Maritime UK Awards gala event and dinner. Hosted by Maritime UK member Solent Local Enterprise Partnership, the black tie event took place at the Leonardo Royal Southampton Grand Harbour Hotel with more than three hundred guests in attendance.
Seafarers UK and Sea Cadets were jointly recognised for their three-and-a-half year partnership project that has so far engaged more than 20,000 school students across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland with tailored, practical workshops and lessons in marine engineering concepts such as buoyancy and propulsion, helping students and schools to understand more about their GCSE options when pursuing a STEM-linked career.
Catherine Spencer, Chief Executive Officer at Seafarers UK said: 'It was an honour to see this joint Seafarers UK and Sea Cadets partnership project up in lights in front of such a fantastic industry audience at the Maritime UK Awards. Winning the DFDS STEM Award is a great boost for this collaborative effort as our project seeks to engage with a further 40,000 school children over the next two and a half years, opening their eyes to maritime opportunities and careers in general but in particular to the world of marine engineering.
'We are also grateful to Maritime UK for choosing Seafarers UK to be its first Maritime UK Awards charity partner, and to all those who dug deep into their pockets on the night in order to help support our on-going work as we strive to make as much impact as we can. Our grant funding, working with expert delivery partners, ensures that the seafarer is supported at all stages of their life journey, including those who aspire to work at sea and are in training or education.'
