Brazil Infrastructure Projects and the ILO 169 Convention
Publicações & Eventos
Paulo de Bessa Antunes
Vilmar Gonçalves
The Brazilian government has officially recognized around 200 indigenous peoples and lots of traditional communities, such as Quilombolas. Most of these populations dwell within forests or in territories fit for the implementation of infrastructure projects, such as ports, mines, pipelines, transmission lines and similar facilities. In spite of this, most companies are not aware of the mandatory rules of the ILO 169 Convention (C169) in Brazil. It is also important to highlight that all major banks in Brazil are members of the Equator Principles.
C169 determines that governments shall ensure that indigenous peoples benefit equally from rights and opportunities granted to other members of the population; promote full realization of social, economic and cultural rights; and assist with eliminating socio-economic gaps in a manner compatible with their aspirations and ways of life.
To achieve such goals, C169 article 6(1) establishes that governments shall: (a) consult the peoples concerned through appropriate procedures and, in particular, through their representative institutions whenever consideration is being given to legislative or administrative measures that may affect them directly; (b) establish means by which the peoples can freely participate, to at least the same extent as other sectors of the population, at all levels of decision-making in elective institutions and administrative and other bodies responsible for policies and programs that concern them; (c) establish means for the full development of the peoples' own institutions and initiatives and, in appropriate cases, provide the necessary resources for this purpose. In addition, article 6(2) stresses that the consultations carried out as a result of this convention shall be undertaken, in good faith and in a form appropriate to the circumstances, with the objective of achieving agreement or consent to the proposed measures.
Brazilian federal courts have granted injunctions halting many projects that do not comply properly with the terms of C169 mostly due to inadequate observation of the Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) standard. The standard to the injunctions granted by the Brazilian courts so far is based upon the Saramaka case ruling by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.
As an example, in a civil class action regarding the construction of a road passing through an indigenous land, the judge ruled that, for major infrastructure projects directly affecting the peoples' land, prior consent should be granted as a condition for the implementation of the project. However, in the event of less-invasive activities that indirectly affect the traditional community, consultation in good faith and adoption of the methods defined by the community would suffice.
In the same sense, in one of the guidance notes prepared by the International Finance Corporation detailing how clients applying for project financing from the bank may observe the Performance Standards on Environmental and Social Sustainability, interaction with traditional communities is considered. In this sense, pursuant to Guidance Note 7 (Performance Standard 7), to be applied during the environmental and social risk impacts identification process, the client shall take measures to avoid adverse impacts on affected communities or, if unavoidable, minimize and compensate those impacts. Clients shall also engage with the communities to allow their consultation and participation in a culturally appropriate manner and, in cases in which their projects impact lands and natural resources subject to traditional ownership or under customary use, clients shall obtain FPIC from the affected peoples. The guidance provides details on how clients should document and obtain FPIC.
Principle 5 of the Equator Principles (a risk management framework to which many private banks voluntarily adhere) sets forth how clients should proceed—including informed consultation and participation with indigenous peoples—when financing is required for a project affecting traditional communities.
The Equator Principles are defined as minimum standards for due diligence and monitoring to support risk-making decisions by the banks on whether and how to grant private financing to clients.
Complying with the rules of C169 is crucial to investors and companies developing, or intending to develop, infrastructure projects in Brazil—especially if they intend to seek out project funding from private banks.
On a daily basis in environmental and corporate social responsibility practices, these issues still remain blurred for some investors and companies involved in mining, oil and gas, ports, hydropower and other areas. Despite recent discussions and debates by Brazilian government representatives with respect to the power of ILO to interpret the ILO 169 Convention, we understand that C169 is here to stay, and in the near future it will likely be a major issue that impacts new projects in Brazil.

L'espelt de guerra és una arma blanca.

Va ser creat a l'Europa del segle XIII partint de l'espelt utilitzat per a la caça major. Arma enastada, es constitueix d'una llarga fulla de secció triangular o quadrangular, per a donar potents cops de punta, de la qual parteixen dues fulles secundàries, habitualment en forma de pua o dent de forca.

De l'espelt (spetum en llatí i en anglès), deriven altres formes d'arma d'ast més refinades:
 Ronca, espelt d'ast molt llarg, amb fulla central massissa, a vegades en forma de "Llengua de bou";
 Corsesca, híbrid entre l'espelt i l'arpió d'abordatge, que les seves dents punxegudes servien a fer caure de la sella el cavaller en armes.

També se'n feren exemplars molt preats de representació amb fulles decorades d'or.

Advocate M. L. Sharma has moved Supreme Court under Article 32 of the Constitution, challenging the Constitution (Application to Jammu & Kashmir) Order, 2019.
He has stated that the said Presidential Order, which has the effect of scrapping the special status of the state of J&K, is unconstitutional and that the government should have taken the parliamentary route instead. The petition also states that Article 370 cannot be nullified by exercising powers under Article 370 itself and hence the Order is ultra vires.
The aforementioned Presidential Order was passed on August 5, 2019, to supersede the Constitution (Application to Jammu and Kashmir) Order, 1954. It states that all the provisions of the Constitution of India shall apply to J&K and the words "Constituent Assembly of the State" in Article 370 shall be substituted by the words "Legislative Assembly of the State". This move is seen in the light of bringing the state of J&K under direct control of the central government.
He is likely to mention this petition tomorrow for urgent hearing.

The 2009 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA) gave the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the authority to regulate the manufacture, distribution, and marketing of tobacco products in the interests of public health. In 2010, the FDA proposed a rule requiring cigarette packs to bear large graphic warning labels, which represented the agency's first major proposed tobacco regulation. Federal agencies proposing any significant regulatory action, defined as one having an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more, are required to evaluate the regulation's costs and benefits. Accordingly, the FDA prepared an economic impact analysis of the proposed rule and retained its analysis in the 2011 final rule. The FDA is using a similar approach in its economic impact analysis of a 2014 proposed "deeming rule," asserting jurisdiction over e-cigarettes and other tobacco products not explicitly included in the FSPTCA.

That's right, the 2016 Beychevelle surpasses all previous vintages. Neal Martin's 96-98 point score puts this year's Beychevelle amongst some pretty lofty company. We are really impressed with what Romain Ducolomb is achieving in their new state of the art winery. The 2015 was sensational. The 2016 is perhaps a little less opulent, but it is incredibly focussed, tight-knit, and surprisingly serious for Beychevelle.
A brace of other St Juliens: Croix de Beaucaillou and Langoa Barton have also released. Both are dark, brooding, intense offerings, which will require patience. Their 2015 counterparts were two of the most exuberant examples from this popular appellation; the 2016s are by contrast deep, profound examples – rarely have we seen such a stark stylistic differences between vintages, but both are equally good!
Sociando Mallet is another powerful example from the northern Medoc. Jean Gautreau's exceptional estate on the banks of the Gironde has produced a spectacular 2016. This is a large-scale, highbrow Sociando with a strong Cabernet character of black hedgerow fruit and pure cassis. If you are looking for something for the cellar, which won't break the bank, this is worth close inspection - a superb effort.

Q: How to make a parameterized SELECT query in C#? I'm trying to display data from a table in database using DataGridView and a parameterized query in C# and SQL Server.
So far, I have tried this code:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS01;Initial Catalog=Vagtplan;Integrated Security=True");

        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT Ansatte.ansatID = @ansat, Ansatte.Navn = @navn, Ansatte.Efternavn = @efternavn, Ansatte.Adresse = @adresse, Ansatte.Postnummer = @postnummer, Ansatte.Bynavn = @bynavn, Ansatte.Email = @email, Ansatte.Mobilnr = @mobilnr, Login_data.Brugertype = @brugertype FROM Ansatte INNER JOIN Login_data ON Ansatte.ansatID = Login_data.ansatID", con);

        cmd.Parameters.Add("@ansat", SqlDbType.Int);
        cmd.Parameters.Add("@navn", SqlDbType.VarChar);
        cmd.Parameters.Add("@eftervavn", SqlDbType.VarChar);
        cmd.Parameters.Add("@adresse", SqlDbType.VarChar);
        cmd.Parameters.Add("@postnummer", SqlDbType.Int);
        cmd.Parameters.Add("@bynavn", SqlDbType.VarChar);
        cmd.Parameters.Add("@email", SqlDbType.VarChar);
        cmd.Parameters.Add("@mobilnr", SqlDbType.Int);
        cmd.Parameters.Add("@brugertype", SqlDbType.VarChar);

        SqlDataAdapter sda = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        sda.Fill(dt);

        dataGridView2.DataSource = dt;
    }

But I get the following error:

Incorrect syntax near '='

How to fix it so I can select data using a parameterized query? Expected result is, that data will be displayed in a DataGridView.

A: You have a few things going on here, and I'll try to break down for you.  Working with a database, you typically do a "select...from..." to get data and "insert into..." to add records to the tables.
Next, your query.  A shortened version of yours..  The problem here is you are trying to assign the @ansat PARAMETER value INTO the Ansatte.ansatID field which is incorrect syntax context to begin with, but review on regardless.
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(
@"SELECT
      Ansatte.ansatID = @ansat,
      Ansatte.Navn = @navn,
      Ansatte.Efternavn = @efternavn,
      Ansatte.Adresse = @adresse...
   FROM
      Ansatte
         INNER JOIN Login_data
            ON Ansatte.ansatID = Login_data.ansatID", con);

and then adding the parameters...
cmd.Parameters.Add("@ansat", SqlDbType.Int);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@navn", SqlDbType.VarChar);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@eftervavn", SqlDbType.VarChar);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@adresse", SqlDbType.VarChar);

Good you are using parameters, but you just DECLARED the parameters, you never assigned any actual values to them, which in essence is resulting in the following getting passed to the engine
SELECT
      Ansatte.ansatID = ,
      Ansatte.Navn = ,
      Ansatte.Efternavn = ,
      Ansatte.Adresse =
   FROM
      Ansatte
         INNER JOIN Login_data
            ON Ansatte.ansatID = Login_data.ansatID

Hence probably your error for no value for the = sign.  Now, to actually add the "Value" to your parameter... Your declaration appeared ok, just finish it with a value that could be a fixed value, from a window entry, config setting, whatever...
cmd.Parameters.Add("@ansat", SqlDbType.Int).Value = 123;
cmd.Parameters.Add("@navn", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = "test";
cmd.Parameters.Add("@eftervavn", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = "more";
cmd.Parameters.Add("@adresse", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = "done";

which would result in a protected (non-sql-injection)
Now, what you might really be looking for.  You have a table in your database that you want to pull information from.  In this case, select the columns you WANT, not the values you want to SET.  Just query.  Ex:
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(
@"SELECT
      Ansatte.ansatID,
      Ansatte.Navn,
      Ansatte.Efternavn,
      Ansatte.Adresse,
      Ansatte.Postnummer,
      Ansatte.Bynavn,
      Ansatte.Email,
      Ansatte.Mobilnr,
      Login_data.Brugertype
   FROM
      Ansatte
         INNER JOIN Login_data
            ON Ansatte.ansatID = Login_data.ansatID", con);

If you run the above query, it will return all records that are in the database that have a matching ID between each respective table.
Now, tack on parameters to a SQL-SELECT query.  Say you only wanted all names within a given PostNumber area.  Add a WHERE condition for such field and parameterized value such as
   FROM
      Ansatte
         INNER JOIN Login_data
            ON Ansatte.ansatID = Login_data.ansatID
   where
      Ansatte.Postnummer = @MyPostCriteria", con );

cmd.Parameters.Add("MyPostCriteria", SqlDbType.Int).Value = 11223;

Now, if you are trying to ADD a record TO the database, that would be an insert, and you can only do an insert into a single table at a time and might be something like below.  You identify the table and columns you want to insert, and then the values in the same sequence as their corresponding sequence as added in parenthesis list at the top.. Then parameterize
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(
@"INSERT INTO Ansatte
   ( Navn,
     Efternavn,
     Adresse
   )
   values
   ( @parmForNavn,
     @parmForEfternavn,

Ugliest to Most Rock 'n' Roll: Top Newfound Species Named
By Kacey Deamer published 23 May 16
Lasiognathus dinema: female in the northern Gulf of Mexico (Image credit: Theodore W. Pietsch, University of Washington)
From an insect with a raunchy name to one of the ugliest species in the world, there were approximately 18,000 newfound species named last year.
With such a large number of species discovered each year, the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) has put together a list of the "Top 10 New Species," celebrating species named in the previous year, since 2008. This year's list honors 10 species representative of global biodiversity.
In the absence of a global species registry, the annual list is a reflection the Earth's diverse species population, said Quentin Wheeler, ESF president and founder of the school's International Institute for Species Exploration (IISE). [See the Top 10 New Species from Last Year]
"We want to bring attention to the biodiversity crisis," Wheeler told Live Science. "We want to bring attention to how little we know about species on our own planet. And we want to bring attention to the fact that this science is going on and every day new species are being discovered."
Given the thousands of species discovered each year — and an estimated 10 million species yet to be discovered, five times the number already known — Wheeler said the top-10 list includes species that "stand out in some way." This could include the largest or smallest of a species, the last known living, or first discovered — or, in the case of this year's list, the ugliest.
A new species of anglerfish, Lasiognathus dinema, was discovered in the Gulf of Mexico during a damage assessment after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. With an unusual headpiece that looks, ironically, like a fishing pole, this anglerfish could make an ugliest species list.
"The bizarre anglerfish that's on the list this year, that's like driving by a car wreck. The thing is so ugly you cant help but stop and look at it," Wheeler said.
Then there are species that make the list for their names, like the damselfly this year, whose genus name Umma lent itself to a rock-and-roll reference. The Umma gumma, one of 60 new damselfly species reported this year, gets its name from the 1969 Pink Floyd double album "Ummagumma" (which has yet another meaning — it's British slang for sex).
Asked each year for his favorite, Wheeler said it's like asking to name a favorite child. But he said he couldn't help but be drawn to one from this year's list for its historic connection.
"This year, I was just astounded at the discovery that the giant tortoises on one of the Galapagos Islands actually represent two discrete species that apparently have been isolated for a long time," Wheeler said. "The giant tortoises are just so iconic for Darwin and for the discovery of evolutionary theory and so forth. To me, they're just pretty spectacular."

10 of the world's biggest man-made disasters


Eby began construction for Phase I of the Downtown Senior Services Remodel & Expansion project in August. Prior to construction, the team demolished portions of the Senior Services building and an adjacent church structure that had been used as management office space. The project includes a 1st and 2nd floor office area remodel, a new commercial kitchen (including an associated freezer, storage, and support facilities) for the Meals-On-Wheels program, and an existing multipurpose room remodel.
Many programs operate under the umbrella of Senior Services, including the Senior Employment Program (SEP), Respite Care, Hospice, Senior Mentors, and Meals-On-Wheels. Four senior centers throughout the city offers a variety of educational, social, and recreational activities to help seniors age well. Each year, their programs serve more than 9,000 residents in Sedgwick County, helping improve the lives of those age 55 years and better.
Meals-On-Wheels is one of the programs that has benefited the most from the project. It has been a long road to get where they are today, operating out of a 5,200 sqft state-of-the-art kitchen. Their previous space was 1/3 the size and limited their ability to expand or accept new programs. The new space is a welcome change, especially after enduring the results of a fire that displaced them from their kitchen space for four months in 2014-2015.
They currently provide 850-900 meals each day (Monday-Friday) to homebound seniors ages 60+ with the help of 60-70 volunteers who prepare and deliver meals. There are 70 delivery routes within Wichita. Organizations, such as Starkey and KETCH, regularly send volunteers to deliver meals as part of their skill development programs.
The project is part of the "Building For the Boomers and Beyond" campaign that will help the center better serve baby boomers in the years to come. The numbers of seniors desiring assistance through meal, employment, and event services are expected to increase significantly throughout the next decade. Senior Services is just now beginning to see the first wave of Boomers entering into their facility and programs.
Staff and volunteers have moved into the office space and kitchen, but the work continues in other parts of the building. Eby is close to completing Phase 1 which includes remodeling the multipurpose room and other 1st floor spaces in the existing building to better accommodate the needs and wants of Senior Services members.
Pickleball, for instance, is an increasingly popular recreational activity at the Center. The sport allows aging adults to stay active and competitive. Competitive Pickleball groups meet at the center more than 3 times each week, playing for 3+ hours at a time. The remodeled multipurpose room will include a sports floor to improve game experience.
Senior Employment Program (SEP) is one of the services that Senior Services offers. What began as a help wanted job board in 1982 has evolved into a program that places 500+ seniors each year. SEP offers resume and interview technique assistance, as well as computer training, one-on-one career counseling, an annual job fair, and a job club that meets weekly for anyone age 55 and older.
Eby is currently constructing a new front reception area that will better greet seniors walking in for services. Last year SEP saw 1,100 people come to them seeking employment. Once construction is complete SEP will be able to occupy their newly renovated offices and and expanded reception area.

Chipped teeth a small price to pay for Benson's chance to play
Robert TychkowskiMore from Robert Tychkowski
Updated: September 10, 2018 6:23 PM MDT
Given how long he waited to wear Edmonton Oilers colours, a couple of chipped teeth in his first ever game couldn't begin to wash away Tyler Benson's smile.
All things considered, it is a very small price to pay for a chance to finally show management here what he can do.
"We were on the power play and I was going hard to the net and it looked like he tried to lift my stick and got me straight in the teeth," said Benson, one of the bright spots in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Calgary Flames rookies. "I even had my mouth guard in but it didn't help."
After watching from the stands in his first two camps, while trying to recover from a litany of injuries that surrounded and bit at him like a pack of hyenas, being able to join in on the fun felt as good as he imagined it would.
"I was a little nervous, but I found the experience of being able to watch the games, be with the guys, the past few years helped coming into this one," he said.
"I felt good, felt like I was creating chances. Felt good about my game. Now I'm just looking forward to the next one and just getting better every day."
There were high expectations for Benson early in his junior career, before the injuries hit and he slipped out of the first round of the 2016 draft. But the thought at the time, when Edmonton took the home grown left winger 32nd overall, was they were getting a steal… if he could ever stay healthy.
We're about to find out if that is true.
"I feel 100 per cent confident," said Benson, who is slated for AHL Bakersfield now that his Junior days are done. "I'm not even thinking about (injuries) any more. Hockey is the only thing on my mind. I'm not even worried about my body right now."
He averaged more than a point per game over the last three seasons with the Vancouver Giants, the problem is he was limited to 30, 33 and 58 games. It seemed impossible to gain any traction
Asked if the struggles of the last few years made him stronger, Benson thought about it for a second and agreed they probably have.
"It's been tough. I'm not sure it's made me better on the ice, it would have ben nice to have a couple of years of development, but I guess it's nice to know that I can overcome obstacles like that."
His determination isn't lost on the brass. Bakersfield coach Jay Woodcroft likes the kid's heart and is excited to see what kind of upside a healthy Benson can bring to the organization.
"What's working for him right now is his body is healthy, he is back to 100 per cent," said Woodcroft. "He's put a good summer of hard work in, he tested very well in off ice testing and he's shown very well in practice.
"I thought in the Calgary game he factored not only on a bunch of offensive plays — we spent a lot of time in the other team's end when he was on the ice — but he did a lot of good things defensively as well.
"That didn't happen by accident; he put in a lot of hard work and it's nice to see him being rewarded for it early on."
BOUCHARD IMPRESSES
Sunday's game in Calgary also marked the much anticipated debut of defenceman Evan Bouchard, Edmonton's first pick (10th overall) last summer and a player being viewed as a potential No.1 defenceman sometime down the line.
These are his first baby steps, but so far so good.
"I think what we saw in the first game in Bouch is a poised player, somebody who can make passes," said Woodcroft. "I think he sprung two or three players on breakaways or two on ones. And he's someone who gets his shot through on the back end.
"What I also saw that is a good surprise is that he showed up in a lot of positive clips defensively and on our breakout.
"He came into the game wanting to make a statement and he did very well. And the big thing was he came to practice the next day with the mindset of getting better."
OILERS EXTEND ANOTHER INVITATION
The Oilers signed free agent right winger Alex Chiasson to a professional tryout (PTO) Monday.
The 27-year-old has played five full seasons in the NHL, the last one culminating in a Stanley Cup with the Washington Capitals.
He had 18 points in 61 regular season games with the Caps and also appeared in 16 of their 24 playoff games, picking up two points.
Chiasson has also played for the Dallas Stars, Ottawa Senators and Calgary Flames. He joins Scottie Upshall, who will also attend main camp on a PTO.

Bundesliga | Robert Lewandowski created more Bayern Munich history while Bayer Leverkusen can't stop scoring: It's the Matchday 20 statistical breakdown!
Robert Lewandowski created more Bayern Munich history while Bayer Leverkusen can't stop scoring: It's the Matchday 20 statistical breakdown!
Robert Lewandowski continues to feel right at home in Munich, Bayer Leverkusen can't stop scoring this season and Naldo is the leading Brazilian star on a Bundesliga weekend packed with numbers.
For the first time this season, Hamburg came from behind to claim a point in the league.
Julian Nagelsmann suffered his first league defeat against Bayern Munich at the fourth time of asking, having won two and drawn one of his previous three meetings.
Augsburg's Caiuby scored his fifth goal of the season on Saturday to set a new personal season record, having never scored more than four goals in a single top-flight season.
Wolfsburg are unbeaten in their last seven matches against Lower Saxon neighbours Hannover (four wins, three draws).
Freiburg are currently on the longest unbeaten run – eight matches (four wins, four draws) – of any team in the league.
After defeat on their last nine trips to Dortmund, Freiburg claimed their first point in more than 16 years at the SIGNAL Iduna Park.
Kryiakos Papdopoulos received his ninth caution of the season at Leipzig on Saturday and is now the most booked player in the division. Interestingly, new HSV coach Bernd Hollerbach ended up as the Bundesliga's yellow card king for three seasons between 2001 and 2003.
After Jupp Heynckes, Gerd Müller, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Thomas Christiansen, Robert Lewandowski has become the fifth player to score in ten consecutive Bundesliga home games. The Pole has scored in every match at the Allianz Arena this term.
Bayer Leverkusen have scored in their last 25 matches to set a new club record following Sunday's win over Mainz.
Milos Jojic finally scored in the league this term with his 29th attempt against Augsburg on Saturday.
Leverkusen's Wendell scored the 50th spot-kick of the league season so far (from 63 penalties awarded).
Bayern's seventh league win in a row was also victory no.333 for Jupp Heynckes as a Bundesliga coach and no.150 in charge of the Bavarians.
Naldo made his 337th Bundesliga appearance in Schalke's win at Stuttgart on Saturday, supplanting compatriot Ze Roberto as the leading appearance-maker among Brazilian players in Germany's top flight.
Watch: Naldo: "A special day for me"

Which active-duty squadrons are slated for the new radar?

Location: Utah, USA
Hi! Technically, they're all getting upgraded. Emphasis has been on ANG because they had the $$$ for upgrades. Block 40/50 will get the bulk of the love in addition to AGCAS and MIDS-JTRS. No idea about Eielson and Homestead. Those planes are butt old without hope. APG-68 is a low MTBF money sucker that USAF will happily see go. APG-68(V9) makes FMS cry. You'll see a big push for AESA there soon.
Funny, the article posted earlier noted 72 sets were installed on jets at nine ANG bases. Easy math says that's eight per base. What about the rest?

Not sure how accurate this is but this is amazing if true:
All told, Rossi said that it only takes a day and a half to swap in a new AN/APG-83 on an F-16.

Yay! Good for NG. Hopefully they've planned a good software pipeline for updates.
The company also pitched an entirely new cockpit configuration with a single large digital multi-function display as one feature of a proposed advanced Viper for India, dubbed the F-21, back in 2019.
Elbit display looks pretty sweet. Raytheon CDU is a disaster. No spares and no support. Like putting a square peg in a butt hole.

Northrop Grumman Systems Corp., Linthicum Heights, Maryland, has been awarded a $88,241,950 firm-fixed-price modification (P00067) to contract FA8615-17-C-6047 for Air Force F-16 aircraft Active Electronically Scanned Array radars. This modification is for the exercise of options to include 31 production radars, as well as associated spares. Work will be performed in Linthicum Heights, Maryland, and is expected to be completed July 31, 2025. The total cumulative face value of the contract is $1,217,979,978. Fiscal 2020 aircraft procurement funds in the amount of $2,034,480; fiscal 2021 aircraft procurement funds in the amount of $2,034,480; and fiscal 2022 aircraft procurement funds in the amount of $84,172,990.00 are being obligated at the time of award. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, is the contracting activity (FA8615-17-C-6047 P00067).
Well, they're on their way to converting all USAF to AESA. No word on converting FMS but the countries with the deepest pockets will dive in first (Taiwan is done. Who wants to buy a used APG-66 set?).
There's been no word on supporting the new system. Software will probably be NG/LM and parts will come from strictly from NG. Not even depot looks like it'll get a sniff. Welcome to "One Level" maintenance! Let's see how that goes...

52nd Fighter Wing Public Affairs
SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany --
The 480th Fighter Squadron is now the first active-duty Air Force F-16CM fighter squadron to bring their fleet of fighter jets into a new era of aerial dominance with the completion of its active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar system upgrades.
"Providing this capability on an already time- and combat-proven aircraft adds another layer to U.S. Air Force capabilities in an ever-evolving electronic warfare environment," said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. CQ Brown, Jr. "I know this upgrade will make us even more effective in our day-to-day combat operations, and I look forward to bringing the F-16 even further into the future of air superiority."
This capability provides the fourth-generation multirole fighter jets a massive leap in combat capabilities, making pilots even more effective than ever before, while improving air defenses and overall aircraft survivability when faced with enemy forces.
https://www.spangdahlem.af.mil/News/Art ... sa-radars/
This was no run-of-the-mill part swap, though. The parts were not only sophisticated; they were interwoven throughout the aircraft. Additionally, maintenance to replace the aging systems was so extensive, the aircraft maintenance specialists and Airmen had more than 200 operational checks to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the upgraded jets and their pilots. "It's undergone some pretty deep maintenance," Dequeant said. "They've stripped it to the studs and replaced it with upgrades."
So much for a "Plug and Play" installation. Spang block 50s are done. Aviano is probably in work. Hope PACAF gets some joy sometime soon!
Northrop Grumman Systems Corp., Linthicum Heights, Maryland, has been awarded a $26,448,240 firm-fixed-price modification (P00072) to previously awarded contract FA8615-17-C-6047 for Active Electronically Scanned Array radars of Air Force F-16 aircraft. This modification is for the exercise of an option to include 13 production radars. Work will be performed in Linthicum Heights, Maryland, and is expected to be completed July 31, 2025. The total cumulative face value of the contract is $1,244,428,218. Fiscal 2022 aircraft procurement funds in the amount of $26,448,240 are being obligated at the time of award. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, is the contracting activity.
So unit cost of those radars is about 2 million USD. Doesn't sound bad at all given the improvements in performance and maintenance.
Northrop Grumman Systems Corp., Linthicum Heights, Maryland, has been awarded a $99,365,970 firm-fixed-price modification (P00076) to previously awarded contract FA8615-17-C-6047 for Active Electronically Scanned Array radars of Air Force F-16 aircraft. This modification is for the exercise of options including 42 production radars, one initial spare kit, and two readiness spare kits. Work will be performed in Linthicum Heights, Maryland, and is expected to be completed by July 31, 2025. The total cumulative face value of the contract is $1,346,043,651.

148th Fighter Wing
DULUTH, Minn. -- Nine Block 50 F-16CM Fighting Falcons from the 148th Fighter Wing received the new active electronical scanned array (AESA) radar that allows pilots to "find targets in the air and on the ground more easily," said Maj. Michael Kuzmuk, Chief of Wing Weapons for the 148th Fighter Wing.
"The new AESA radars are a huge leap in technology that will make the F-16more lethal and survivable against potential near peer threats," said Col. Nathan Aysta, 148th Fighter Wing Commander.
The 148th Fighter Wing is a multi-purposed Suppression/Destruction of Enemy Air Defense (SEAD/DEAD) and a NORAD Aerospace Control Alert-trained (ACA) flying Air National Guard unit located in Duluth, Minnesota. The 148th is one of five F-16 SEAD/DEAD units in the entire U.S. Air Force and one of two SEAD/DEAD units in the Air National Guard.

I always review new and noteworthy releases, but I often forget to share with you the tried and true products that I reach for on a daily basis. NARS Velvet Lip Glides are one of these products that I return to again and again. They are unique, comfortable, long-wearing and just down-right reliable.
Let's have a closer look at this unique formula.
What are the NARS Velvet Lip Glides?
Jump on the liquid lip bandwagon with the latest innovation from Nars. Glides onto lips effortlessly and drench lips in unparalleled colour with a comfortable, semi-matte finish. Formulated to offer all the perks of a liquid lipstick – longevity, intense pigment and an on-trend matte effect – without drying out the lips. The result is continuous comfortable and confident colour in one sweep.
This formula is one my very favourites ever. But unlike traditional liquid lipsticks, the Velvet Lip Glides apply like a soft and buttery balm, and dry down to a weightless, almost stain-like finish but with a satin kinda feel. The result is a punchy pigment, with ultimate comfort and longevity.
The application is made easy with flat-sided doe foot applicator that allows you complete precision and control. Wear time is fabulous, with the option of easily re-applying through the day should you need it. Otherwise, the formula fades really evenly throughout the day. None of that crusty half-there colour that most liquid lipsticks leave behind.
I adore this formula. You honestly get the best of all the different kind of lip products available but rolled into one super-comfortable, pigmented, long-lasting formula.
I would highly recommend picking up a NARS Velvet Lip Glide set when they become available. This gives you the option of many different colours in a small, more travel-friendly size.
What is your favourite lippy formula?
Wow! They look fantastic. I might have to add this to the try pile.


Stony Brook, N.Y.—Top-seeded Albany used a 9-1 run in the second and third quarters to defeat UMBC, 19-10, in the America East Conference men's lacrosse championship game.
UMBC, which entered the game 4-1 in its last five contests, finished the season at 7-8.
Senior attackmen Joe Lustgarten (Wading River, N.Y./Shoreham-Wading River) and Scott Jones (Port Coquitlam, B.C./Terry Fox) and junior face-off specialist Phil Poe (Harwood, Md./DeMatha) were selected to the All-Tournament Team.
Jones led the Retrievers with four goals vs. Albany and amassed seven goals in the two games.
There were four ties and lead changes in the first half until Albany closed the stanza on a 5-0 run. UMBC trailed, 3-2, after one quarter and 4-2 just 34 seconds into the second, but went on a 3-0 run to take a 5-4 lead with 9:18 to play in the frame.
Freshman midfielder Nate Lewnes (Arnold, Md./St. Mary's) started the surge with an extra-man goal at the 12:41 mark, and Jones tied the score, converting a feed from senior middieNick Doub (Annapolis, Md./St. Mary's) at the 10:04 mark. Senior attackman Matt Gregoire (Crofton, Md./South River) got inside and beat UA keeper Blaze Riordan from a tough angle to put UMBC back out in front at 5-4 with 9:18 to play in the half.
After a time out, Albany tied the game 42 seconds later, starting the 5-0 surge. Albany outshot UMBC, 31-15 in the first 30 minutes, and despite nine saves by DiRito, the Danes led by four at the break.
UMBC came out quickly in the third quarter, winning the opening face-off after a loose ball battled and cashed in when freshman Pat Young (Ewing, N.J./Christchurch School) scored with just 39 seconds elapsed. But the Danes went on a 4-0 run before Retriever senior midfielder Dave Brown (Coopersburg, Pa./The Hill School) stopped the surge and cut the deficit to 13-7 with 4:25 remaining.
But the Retrievers could get no close in the final 19 minutes of the game and fell to 3-2 in America East title games.
In his final game along with 13 other seniors, Brown scored a goal and added two assists. Lewnes scored twice, while Doub added a pair of helpers.
Tournament Most Valuable Player, Albany sophomore attackman Lyle Thompson, led all scorers with three goals and six assists.
Albany outshot UMBC, 49-36, and DiRito finished the game with 10 saves. Albany freshman netminder Blaze Riordan made nine saves for his side.
The Danes converted on 4-of-6 extra-man opportunities, while UMBC was 1-of-2.
"I would like to thank our seniors for the great job they have done over the past four years, especially this year," head coach Don Zimmerman said. "The guys are disappointed, but they should hold their heads up high. It's a great group of guys, they work hard and they represent the school in a tremendous fashion."

Jase Brostrom, 7, shows the Hawai'i Medal of Honor he accepted for his father, 1st Lt. Jonathan P. Brostrom. Taking part in the ceremony were, from left, state Rep. Mark Takai, Gov. Linda Lingle and Maj. Gen. Robert Lee.
Read our series Bad Blood: The Ambush of Chosen Company in Afghanistan at www.honoluluadvertiser.com/wanat.
Jase Brostrom holds the Hawai'i Medal of Honor after the ceremony. His father, 1st Lt. Jonathan P. Brostrom, was killed in Afghanistan in 2008.
Maj. Gen. Robert Lee presents Jase with the Hawai'i Medal of Honor in Gov. Linda Lingle's office. The state presented the award to Jonathan Brostrom's family in March, but Jase was in Utah then and unable to attend the event.
Jase Brostrom proudly wears a pin on his shirt that bears a picture of himself and his father following his dad's graduation from Army Ranger school.
Yesterday, the 7-year-old first-grader was presented another award that he said he will cherish for as long as he lives. Jase was given the Hawai'i Medal of Honor by Gov. Linda Lingle in honor of his father, 1st Lt. Jonathan Brostrom, who was killed in Afghanistan last year.
"I'm happy to be getting the award," Jase said. "I miss him."
Brostrom, a Damien Memorial High and University of Hawai'i ROTC graduate, died on July 13, 2008, in a firefight in Wanat, Afghanistan. The 24-year-old 'Aiea resident was pinned down by machine gun fire and rocket-propelled grenades as he attempted to help reinforce an observation post that was being hit hard by enemy fire.
Brostrom was posthumously presented the Silver Star, the third-highest military award for valor, and in March the state honored him by presenting his family with the Hawai'i Medal of Honor.
But because Jase lives in Utah with his mother, he was unable to attend the ceremony. Yesterday, however, Lingle, Maj. General Robert Lee, and the state Legislature held a special ceremony in the governor's office and presented Jase with the state's Medal of Honor.
Lingle also gave Jase a joint resolution signed by the entire Legislature.
"They're saying that they all agreed that your father will be forever remembered," Lingle told the boy.
Jase thanked the governor and had a gift of his own to present to Lingle. After struggling to pull a box from his pocket, he gave Lingle a silver bracelet that's identical to one he wears that is engraved with his father's name, unit and date of death.
"This is from my dad," he said to Lingle. "Thanks for having us."
Also attending the ceremony were Jase's mother, Lindsey Spargur, maternal grandmother, Kay Spargur, paternal grandparents, David and Mary Jo Brostrom, and uncle, Blake Brostrom.
After the ceremony, Jase said he wears the pin and the bracelet because they have special meaning to him.
"I remember him as a hero," Jase said. "I've been wearing it for a long time because it reminds me of my dad."
Lindsey Spargur said her son is doing as well as can be expected. She said Jase is strong, outgoing and has a great personality, just like his father.
"Sometimes it makes it harder, but at the same time we always have reminders, like, 'Jon would say the same thing' or 'Jon would do the same thing.' So that's good," Spargur said.
David Brostrom said his family appreciates the effort Lingle and the state made to honor his son and grandson.
"It's something that he'll remember for the rest of his life. It's a great Christmas present," Brostrom said. "This is all part of the healing process. The support we've gotten from the state of Hawai'i has just been absolutely fabulous."
He said he also believes that Jase is handling the death of his father well. If Jase is anything like his dad, David Brostrom said, he will "become a great man."
"He has his rough days just like we all do, but he's doing surprisingly well," David Brostrom said. "Younger kids are very resilient, actually more so than adults, so he's doing very well. He's doing very well in school, a very outgoing child."
At the end of the ceremony, Lingle asked Jase if he wanted to stay for a press conference with reporters, but he politely declined.
"I want to go surfing," he said. "I got my own surf board."

Lara's Home Page
China Adoption Stories
Lara's school started yesterday, officially. She's still going to the pre-school on our University campus, but this fall she's in the oldest kindergarten class, and is treated much more like a real primary school student. (Lara's 5 now.)
I signed her up for optional dance classes, (two afternoons a week, 20 yuan per month) and when Lara mentioned that she wanted to take piano lessons, I inquired about that, and signed her up for those as well. It turns out that the piano room is next door to Lara's classroom, and for an additional 30 yuan per month (about $3.50) she'll get two one-hour private lessons a week.
Lara's piano teacher is one of my favorite student's aunt, and she let me sit in on a mini-lesson with Lara yesterday afternoon. She's really great with kids. (you'd have to kill me before you could get me to teach piano lessons to a five year old!) It was interesting to listen to the lesson given in Chinese. It was a standard piano lesson, but with a definite Chinese twist. She taught Lara the correct posture for her hands, and described them as 'xiao mantou' (little steamed breads) and is of course, teaching her the Chinese terminology for reading music.
She is going to teach Lara two very popular songs for all Chinese children. One is 'Mama Hao' about how mother is the best thing on earth and all children need one. Every child in China can sing this song, and it's designed to bring a tear to every mother's eye, and convince her that she definitely must continue to pay for more piano lessons. The other song that she played, and Lara sang, is the song written for the return of Macau last winter. Again, it's a song that every child can sing, and a good one for a beginning piano player.
Of course, Lara is still excelling in her gymnastics classes every Saturday and Sunday afternoon. (two hours each afternoon for 50 yuan per month) So, even though we're in China, and I'm at a major social disadvantage (not being able to speak Chinese worth a toot) I'm still managing to help Lara become involved in some of the local kid activities.
9/7/00 (continued)
I hauled an English speaking friend along with me to Lara's school yesterday. I really feel like an inferior mother, not really being able to speak with Lara's teachers. We caught Lara in the middle of a dance class. Her very young teacher seems earnest and committed to teaching her students, and I was pleased that Lara seemed attentive and interested.
Lara's piano teacher is really a delight, such a nice woman. She's promised to write notes in Lara's notebook after each class, so I'll know what's going on. Lara enjoys the piano room and is already showing signs of having learned something of the instrument.
Unfortunately, I'm less than satisfied with Lara's homeroom teacher, and a lot of that may be because she's less than satisfied with Lara. When we arrived, we saw a room full of small children, each sitting totally quiet and still in small wooden chairs around two large tables. Each child was either practicing writing the number '1' over and over in a small notebook, or doing nothing at all. The teacher was sitting in her chair, also completely quiet.
Lara's teacher told me that Lara doesn't work in class, but likes to run around and play. She complained that Lara's exercise book is wrinkled and dirty (and it clearly is) whereas the other children's books are neat and tidy. Lara's handwriting exercises were poorly written, and she proudly showed me other children's neat handwriting. She told me that every child in Lara's class can already write their name in Chinese characters, but Lara can't. She told me that she considers Lara to be a cunning child (and when I asked my interpreter whether this was considered a good or a bad word, she confirmed that it wasn't meant as a compliment) She asked me whether Lara passed along her messages to me, and I told her that I heard nothing about school. She then replied that perhaps Lara only told me the good things, and none of the bad things. (In fact, Lara doesn't speak about school at all. Maybe she thinks it's all bad.)
My friend and I were sent out to buy some more small exercise books for Lara, new, unwrinkled ones, and when we returned, we dutifully handed them over, encased in their protective plastic folders, with Lara's name written on the front of each by her very kind piano teacher. (I'm sure that my Chinese handwriting would NOT meet with the homeroom teacher's approval.)
Clearly, the race to a good university has already begun for these 5 year old children, and they are now being taught the necessity of sitting still for uncountable hours of study. I guess the other children have already learned this lesson, but after a year and a half at this school, Lara still resists.
I only wish Lara could take piano and dance lessons all day long, every day. I don't think she's really ready to learn reading and writing, and I hate to sour her on these things by pushing so hard now. But I need to send her to school and I can't imagine that any of the other schools in town are any different, so I guess I'll be in the position of trying to encourage both Lara and her teacher to compromise with each other and get along for the next four months.
About the only favorable thing that the woman told me is that Lara's spoken Chinese is completely fluent and up to the same level as that of the other children. That praise was doled out without any pleasure or satisfaction, as if that monumental success should be taken completely for granted. I kept thinking that the woman had small, piggy eyes.

Lac (Lake) Blanc is a beautiful and serene lake in the Mont Blanc massif. The lake is situated at the height of 2352m. It is a great place to enjoy the view of the Mont Blanc. From the Chamonix town centre, it takes a hike of about 4 hours. From the Flegere / Index lift, it takes about 2 hours to hike up to the lake. You will find facilities and refreshments at the lake. Great place to have a picnic!
Snacks and refreshments available near the lake.
How popular is Lac Blanc?
People normally club together Musee Des Cristaux and Mazot-musee while planning their visit to Lac Blanc.
People also prefer to end their day with Lac Blanc.
Absolutely stunning. I gave a detailed review of our trek up in a review of one of the other lakes up there, chemayul but just a warning, it is actually quite a hard trek and when you hear there are ladders there, think a ladder bolted to a cliff face about 20 metres long across a sheer drop, see pics. Cafe at the top was closed when i went for off season.
Wonderful sight... one of the most beautiful places in Europe.
Amazing view. For us, it is the most beautiful place in Chamonix. I suggest coming here from Index (some snow in summer), leaving here to Flégère.
