Schiebel’s S-100 Camcopter performs first unmanned aerial cinematography

17 April 2012

Schiebel Camcopter S-100

Schiebel's Camcopter S-100 Unmanned Air System (UAS), incorporated with a Cineflex camera to perform aerial cinematography, has completed its first flight.

The company has carried out shooting with the UAS, which is equipped with a Cineflex camera by capturing shots of the motor cross bikes and a rally car, under the supervision of Brain Farm Digital Cinema and Snaproll Media.

Schiebel Group chairman, Hans Georg Schiebel, said: "The Camcopter S-100 UAS can carry a variety of cameras suitable and capable of providing the high definition accuracy to modern film and television directors."

"Its ability to hover and precisely maneuver for extended periods of time, offering a truly stable platform, provides another dimension of artistic freedom from a basic set to extreme situations beyond manned limits," Schiebel added.

The Cineflex is a multi-axis coordinated gimbal control system offering layered isolation, steering, and enhanced correctional movements to alleviate an extensive selection of precision optics to a sub-pixel level.

S-100 UAS will be navigated through pre-programmed GPS waypoints or operated with a pilot control unit, while point-and-click graphical user interface is used to plan and control the missions.

The new aerial cinematography solution will be unveiled at NAB Show in Las Vegas, US, this year.

Financial services: Insurers reap healthy profits

by Jake Mitchell

Expectations are for bumper profits for the major insurers, fuelled by surging premiums and a benign year for natural catastrophes, although guidance might be affected by recent bushfires and flooding. The local players, Suncorp and Insurance Australia Group, have reaped the benefits of a neutral weather system while boosting premiums off the back of the La Nina system, which contributed to natural disasters in 2010 and 2011.

JPMorgan points out that neutral years since 1967 have had an average catastrophe cost of $816 million, significantly below the $3 billion for La Nina years.

On Thursday, the Insurance Council of Australia estimated that recent flooding in Queensland would cost the industry at least $290 million, but these costs won’t affect upcoming results and are subdued compared with the $2.4 billion for the 2011 floods.

“The local insurers IAG and Suncorp have enjoyed favourable conditions in the first half, as a result of a lack of natural peril claims, favourable investment markets being bonds and equities, and continuing premium rate increases," said Credit Suisse insurance analyst Andrew Adams. Morgan Stanley analyst Daniel Toohey reckons QBE will deliver on its 8 per cent insurance margin guidance but cautions the dividend could be in danger.

The majority of QBE’s premiums come from North America and Europe, so earnings have been battered by Superstorm Sandy in the United States, and falling bond yields.

The Australian Financial Review reported that 700 QBE employees wouldface the axe in 2013, as part a $200 million cost savings initiatives.

“We flag risks of QBE aligning its payout ratio closer to international peers, trimming our payout ratio to 60 per cent in outer years," he said.

Bell Potter recently boosted its target price for the ASX, highlighting improving equity market sentiment, which should offset structural risks posed by the possibility of competition entering the clearing and settlements market.

Telstra kisses copper goodbye

AFR Illustration: David Rowe

While most Telstra shareholders on Thursday cheered a $1 billion buyback and the highest final dividend in 15 years, a far more momentous event was flagged in the company’s annual report.

The copper network that has formed the core business of the company for more than 110 years is moving back into government ownership after almost two decades delivering extraordinary profit margins to Telstra shareholders.

Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull was privately jubilant that Telstra and NBN Co had, in effect, passed the last hurdle before sealing the $11 billion deal first mooted in 2010.

The deal, which is expressed in net present-value terms because any other numbers are meaningless, will make NBN Co the country’s wholesale telco monopoly offering a range of technologies.

Turnbull was understandably less effusive in public about the copper coup given that final details of the deal are yet to be ironed out. That uncertainty leaves doubts about telco competition and that has fuelled fears of Telstra strengthening its already powerful position.

Needless to say, the Singapore Telecom-owned Optus is concerned that transferring the copper from Telstra to NBN Co “at no cost" will distort the dynamics of access pricing.

The worry for Singtel’s global consumer head Paul O’Sullivan, who is running Optus in the absence of a CEO, is that NBN Co will end up paying for all or some of the maintenance of the copper. That would potentially distort the competition regulator’s calculations about the cost of access to Telstra’s networks, which are based on Telstra’s costs.

O’Sullivan and his regulatory affairs head David Epstein have been trying to convince Turnbull that he must avoid a situation where Telstra is given freedom to be “double dipping".

This is a burning issue for other companies such as iiNet and TPG Telecom because in the transition years before NBN’s network is fully operational the bulk of Australians in urban areas will have to live with ADSL2+ connections on copper.

Telstra chief executive David Thodey was unable to say on Thursday whether there will be any financial trade-offs won by Telstra in return for handing the copper back to taxpayers.

But the Telstra annual report says the copper ownership will be transitioned to NBN progressively and the “non-binding commercial framework" does not contemplate any incremental value being received by Telstra.

Telstra admitted in its annual report that the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) would have to review any renegotiated agreement between Telstra and NBN Co. It says the ACCC “may seek to impose further regulatory measures".

But the astute readers of Telstra’s latest description of the deal with NBN Co will notice that a deal which is already a bonanza for the telco giant is likely to deliver even more largesse.

“Telstra and NBN Co are also negotiating in respect of the provision of design, construction and maintenance services by Telstra to NBN Co on commercial terms, which may potentially deliver additional revenues to Telstra," it says.

This revenue is guaranteed. No other company in Australia can deliver the telco construction services offered by Telstra. It just completed NBN’s transit network and its is handling the 1000-point trial of fibre-to-the-node services.

The latest iteration of the Telstra/NBN deal includes Telstra and Optus agreeing to hand over their hybrid fibre co-axial cable networks which pass about 2.7 million premises. Optus will pick up $800 million for its HFC network.

Telstra clearly hit the mark with its 15¢ a share final dividend and $1 billion buyback.

About 89 million Telstra shares were traded, the largest turnover in Telstra stock since Telstra went ex-dividend on August 19, 2013 when 127 million shares were traded.

For yield-hungry investors, particularly those in the pension phase of a self-managed super fund, the Telstra buyback is a gift that could return up to 15 per cent in two months.

The buyback is structured as a capital component of $2.33 a share and a fully franked dividend component equal to the difference between the buyback price and $2.33. The company has said that a buyback priority allocation will be offered to those shareholders who tender a minimum of 925 shares or about $5000 worth of Telstra shares.

With that in mind one fund manager said it would make sense to buy $5,000 worth of stock. That would buy entitlement to the 15¢ a share final dividend which is fully franked.

The same shares could then be tendered into the buyback.

That would then entitle the owner of the shares to a capital return of $2.33 a share and the balance of about the same amount in fully franked dividends.

Self managed super funds in the pension phase pay the 15 per cent contribution tax but do not pay any tax on money earned in the fund.

That means that the members of the fund would gain the grossed up yield of the first dividend plus the grossed up yield on the dividend component of the buyback.

These metrics will be well known to brokers who will have an incentive to get clients involved.

Telstra has 1.29 million shareholders with holdings of 10,000 shares or less. They may be comfortable just taking their 15¢ final dividend and not selling stock into the buyback.

But sophisticated investors who chase fully franked dividends will be encouraged by financial advisers to get involved.

That incentive to earn a quick tax effective return from Telstra could well crowd out the big institutions that would normally be expected to lead the buyback charge.

Telstra chief executive, David Thodey and chief financial officer Andy Penn reassured Chanticleer on Thursday that the buyback was fair to all shareholders.

Penn said Telstra had built up excess franking credits because of the shift from quarterly to monthly tax collections in the 2014 financial year.

He said that distributing those credits now made sense considering Prime Minister Tony Abbott ’s proposed paid parental leave scheme would add 1.5 per cent to tax payments but not generate franking credits.

The Telstra argument in favour of distributing franking credits now has not been picked up by other major companies but the profit-reporting season is only half over.

Bigger questions are raised from the Telstra buyback structure even though it is not unusual and has been used before by companies such as BHP Billiton .

The questions are: is the different treatment of different shareholders fair to taxpayers and is it time to review dividend imputation, which was not designed in an era when pension funds were tax-free?

The Australian Taxation Office must have given Telstra the green light so one assumes it is happy for the company to be distributing tax in a way that will ultimately result in Telstra’s total taxation payments being reduced. The total payments are reduced because shareholders paying zero tax get a cheque for the franking credits from the federal government.

David Murray ’s financial system inquiry and the Ken Henry review of the tax system questioned the use of dividend imputation and the distortions it causes in the economy.

The latest earnings from Telstra and Optus show that Australia’s mobile market remains as competitive as ever but the growth is hard to come by.

The revenue market share revealed by yesterday’s numbers show how much ground has been lost by Vodafone. Its share has slipped from 19.4 per cent in June 2013 to 17.6 per cent in June 2014.

Over the same period Telstra rose from 50.6 per cent to 52.9 per cent. Optus went from 30 per cent to 29.6 per cent.

Boart Longyear (BLY)

by Justin Bailey

Royal Bank of Scotland has upgraded mining services provider Boart Longyear to “buy" from “hold". The broker has also increased its 12-month price target to $5.00 from $3.16.

RBS analyst Andrew Hodge said recent checks with customers and competitors to Boart suggested prices were increasing in consumables by about 10 per cent and by 9 per cent in drilling.

The price moves were the key factor in the broker becoming more positive on Boart’s forecasts and investment thesis.

“Although Boart had been reporting improving volumes, we had yet to see pricing come through from its customers [primarily in drilling].

“This was evident from the lack of margin expansion between the upgraded guidance in April 2009 and the 1H10 result in August.

“However, we believe pricing is evident and, as such, move positive as we enter what we expect to be a cycle of improving prices and upgraded earnings which primarily relates to FY11 and FY12."

Yahoo's stock hits $US19

Yahoo!'s share price has touched $US19 for the first time in more than two and half years.

The latest gains extend a rally that has been gaining momentum in recent weeks as Yahoo buys back its own stock and more investors bet on chief executive Marissa Mayer's ability to turn around the long-struggling company.

Ms Mayer, a former top executive at internet search leader Google, became Yahoo!'s fifth CEO in less than a year when the company hired her in July. Since her arrival, Ms Mayer has vowed to make the company a better place to work, refine its online services and roll out more products tailored for smartphones and tablet computers.

Yahoo! has also been trying to boost its share price by spending most of the money that it received from a recent deal to buy back its own shares.

After taxes, the company pocketed $US4.3 billion ($4.1 billion) by selling half its stake in Chinese internet company Alibaba Group.

Ms Mayer has pledged to spend $US3.6 billion buying back Yahoo!'s stock, including $US600 million that had gone toward share repurchases before the Alibaba deal closed in mid-September.

Yahoo! had spent $US212 million buying back 13 million shares from October 1 to November 8, according to a recent regulatory filing, with $US928 million spent so far this year.

Since Ms Mayer made the buyback commitment, Yahoo's stock has climbed by nearly 20 per cent. The shares hit $US19 in Monday's early trading for the first time since April 2010.

Goldman Sachs analyst Heath Terry believes Yahoo!'s stock will climb even higher as more investor enthusiasm builds for Ms Mayer's turnaround strategy and the value of the company's remaining holdings in Asian internet companies becomes clearer. Besides retaining a 24 per cent stake in Alibaba, Yahoo also owns 35 per cent of Yahoo Japan.

He also thinks Yahoo!'s stock will get a boost from future buybacks planned by Yahoo.

In a Monday research report, Terry raised his price target for Yahoo!'s shares to $US24 from $US22. The price targets of 15 other analysts surveyed by FactSet range from $US16.50 to $US22.

Consulting Recruitment Agencies Directory

Consulting is a relatively young sector, and first emerged as a legitimate employment field only as recently as the 1950's. Today, it provides jobs for more than 80,000 people and generates upwards of £8.5 billion in revenue. Typically, consultants are experts in their industry, and have either retired from successful careers or are still actively working in relevant roles.

A wide range of diverse UK firms offer consultation services. While some specialise solely in management, many others offer expertise related to outsourcing, IT, energy, and a host of other specific business needs. Strategic consultancy and outsourcing advisory are two common specialisms sought after by recruitment agencies, but there is a wide variety of unique employment opportunity available in the sector.

The vast majority of jobs are London-based, and salaries tend to be significantly higher there than elsewhere in the UK. Salaries can vary between £20K and £75K, but the overall industry average is close to £40K. Though a number of small firms account for a large percentage of employment in the field, and independent consultancy is also a viable option, the three largest employers in the sector are Accenture, Towers Watson, and Oliver Wyman.

Standard dropped !!

Front desk staff very friendly, attend to your request,location convenient
Overall okay but the standard has dropped quite a bit from my previous stay less than a year ago. Front desk staff friendly and listens to your needs. Room was big and clean but condition not tip top. Might be in the old wing of the hotel. Handle to the curtain fell off, table lamp missing, bath robes not in place, and it took about an hour for a bucket of ice to reach our room.. Wasn't able to locate room service at all and we had to go to the 'bell boy' service to have our luggages collected from us to be sent to our room instead of them providing the service whilst seeing the amount of luggages we have

USDA Report habits analyzed

04/12/2012 @ 2:38pm

Sometimes, it is hard to remember that, just because it is written on paper does not make it true.  Perhaps that is the best way to view the current set of supply/demand reports from the USDA.

The market was disappointed when the USDA did not lower the ending stocks for corn.  Sure, the USDA analysts had their reasons, like new crop corn harvested early and strong wheat feeding, and these reasons are shared by many market participants.

But putting it on paper does not necessarily make it so.  For example, the break in prices over the past week makes US corn more affordable for China to import.  Lower prices mean the nation’s ethanol plants may not reduce production as much as anticipated.  All of these could increase demand for corn beyond what the USDA says.

So does the recent 20-25 cent break in prices send the correct message?  Unfortunately, it may be the June 29th stocks report before the answer is known.  Even with early corn harvest, the summer could be volatile in terms of cash prices and balancing supply and demand issues.

Another habit the USDA has is making changes slowly.  Regarding soybeans, the USDA has taken a gentle approach to lowering South American crop sizes.  They are also slowly raising US demand to accommodate the lower Brazilian and Argentine supply.

For US farmers, the price signal to plant more soybeans may come too slowly also.  Changes in May or June to the supply/demand tables and subsequent price rallies will not be able to shift many acres to beans (especially if the quick planting pace continues for another 2-3 weeks).

If the bean situation starts looking too tight, very high prices can sharply reduce demand.  That is a difficult problem in the long run, since demand that is destroyed can take years to rebuild.  Sure the high prices are fun, but then prices will need to dip lower in the future to attract increased usage.

The risk of loss in trading commodities can be substantial.  You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial situation.

Soybeans slip on weather, cancelled orders

11/16/2012 @ 3:50pm

U.S. soybean futures fell to a fresh five-month low Friday, pressured by a positive outlook for South American crops and by China canceling previous orders for U.S. soybeans.

Soybean futures for January delivery at the Chicago Board of Trade fell 18 3/4 cents, or 1.3%, to $13.83 1/4 a bushel.

The losses extended a monthslong decline for soybeans. Soybean futures soared to nominal all-time highs in September after the severe U.S. drought widely damaged crops and reduced supply expectations. Prices have since slumped as expectations recovered for the soy crop after rains late in the growing season.

Now, traders are paying increasing attention to the next soy crops being planted in Brazil and Argentina, the world's biggest producers after the U.S. Favorable weather in those countries is further easing concerns about tight global supplies and weighing on soybean prices.

"It's got everybody confused because we've been told for three or four months that the sky's the limit [for soybean prices], that we're going to run out of beans and demand will always be high," said Lon Malmkar, a risk manager at commodities brokerage FuturesOne in Lincoln, Neb. "You reverse it, and down she goes."

Recent rains have eased concerns that some South American soybean regions were too dry, and the weather is likely to remain favorable for soybean crops, said Drew Lerner, president of forecaster World Weather Inc. in Overland Park, Kan.

"Everybody is going to get rain at one time or another over these next two weeks," Mr. Lerner said.

Soybean prices also drew pressure Friday from reports that China has canceled a large amount of orders for U.S. soybeans. Traders said the China National Grain and Oils Information Center, a government think tank, reported that China canceled shipments of about 600,000 metric tons of U.S. soybeans that were scheduled for delivery in December and January. The recent drop in U.S. prices and poor Chinese soybean-crushing profit margins are seen as the drivers for the canceled orders.

On Friday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported net export sales of U.S. soybeans of 585,200 metric tons in the week through Nov. 8, mostly for delivery in the current marketing year, which began Sept. 1. The sales were above traders' expectations for sales in a range of 200,000 to 425,000 tons--but the report also revealed canceled sales of 346,200 metric tons for delivery to buyers that weren't identified. Traders typically assume sales to unknown buyers were made to China.

Corn futures reversed losses made on Friday morning to settle higher, after the Environmental Protection Agency decided to deny a request to waive ethanol-blending requirements in the U.S., which could have reduced demand for corn. Corn futures also rose on concerns that prices may have fallen too low to account for drought-reduced tight supplies.

CBOT December corn futures rose 5 3/4 cents or 0.8% to $7.27 a bushel.

Wheat futures fell on continued concern about weak export demand. The USDA last week cut its forecast for U.S. wheat exports in the marketing year that began June 1.

CBOT December wheat futures settle down 7 1/2 cents or 0.9% at $8.38 a bushel, a four-month low for the front-month contract. KCBT December wheat fell 10 1/2 cents or 1.2% to $8.76 a bushel. MGEX December wheat fell 10 1/2 cents or 1.1% to $9.09 3/4 a bushel.

Source: American Soybean Association news release

In comments submitted to the U.S. Department of Agriculture this week, American Soybean Association (ASA) President and Iowa farmer Ray Gaesser urged the Department to take both a practical and a scientific approach to enhancing agricultural coexistence.

He also urged USDA to consider the already extensive work on coexistence underway in the industry.

In Gaesser's comments, ASA, which provided separate recommendations to USDA both as part of the AC21 Committee and as a member of the AgBiotech Alliance, reinforced its position that "there is no real evidence that current efforts to achieve coexistence between neighboring producers are not working" and pointed to the failure of the AC21 Committee to identify any data that shows contamination between IP, conventional and organic farming has occurred or is a significant problem warranting additional steps beyond enhanced communication and education.

"Farmers of many kinds of different cropping systems have a long and successful history of coexistence," Gaesser commented.

"Some farmers grow crops for high-quality seed production, some grow specialty varieties within conventional crops, some grow ornamentals or vegetables, and others grow non-GMO and organic crops. All require that the grower hoping to raise one of these premium crops take prudent management steps and communicate with neighbors. We've seen no data to suggest that such management and communication isn't working."

ASA's full comments may be downloaded here.

Men’s Constant Weight New World Record

Alexey 128 m19 September 2013, Kalamata, Greece
Alexey Molchanov of Russia increased his own world record in Constant Weight to 128m in a dive time of 3:38. He was coached by his mother, world record diver, Natalia Molchanova. Alexey had made this depth earlier in the year but the record did not count because he did not have a tag. We congratulate him on another great achievement.

They really do like to gallop. That seems to be an inherent characteristic of off the track Thoroughbreds making the transition to the sport of eventing, and something upper level eventer Kate Chadderton has experienced first hand.

The horseman is based this winter at Julie Zapapas’ Jumping Branch Farm. Chadderton competed this weekend at the Pine Top Farm Horse Trials in Thomson, Ga., and had two rides with both horses going intermediate, Patrick McCuan’s VS McCuan Civil Liberty and Beth Sokohl’s Buckharo. Chadderton described both off the track Thoroughbreds as green and in need of the run this weekend.

“They were both really good,” said Chadderton. “The cross country phase was Friday. They jumped down really well. The show jumping phase was Saturday. They showed in a couple of little places. where they were green, but they were competing against four-star horses. They held their own.“

All of the horses in Chadderton’s barn, who is based in Maryland for the preponderance of the year, are off the track Thoroughbreds, and vary in their level of experience.

“They’re all really good galloping horses, so, I have to concentrate on them to settle, to appreciate the finer points of dressage,” said Chadderton. “They really like to jump and they’re very athletic. They’re very brave horses, and I can miss at something and they’re still going to jump it.”

The Aussie born Chadderton has been in the states for several years, and feels fortunate to have the support of a number of people, who have allowed the eventer to develop the horses and bring them along at their own pace.

“This is the beginning of our year,” said Chadderton. “We have a really big season once we get back north. And, it’s still a long way from here to November.”

The most challenging phase for Chadderton has been the dressage. The off the track Thoroughbreds in Chadderton’s barn seem to possess similar attributes.

“I suddenly have a type, and they’re quite small,” said Chadderton. “You’d be surprised none of them make 16 hands. They’re all on the smaller side, but they all jump very careful, are scopey and are very brave.”

Chadderton will be going to Quebec in June to compete at the Bromont CCI*** at the Bromont Olympic Equestrian Park. The eventer will be pointing Collection Pass to the CCI*** and Civil Liberty toward the two-star.

“They’re the ones that I’ve been working with the longest and I’m excited about their future,” said Chadderton. “I really don’t have as much say as I would like. They tell me if they want to do more or less. I try to listen to them.”

The Red Hills International Horse Trials in Tallahassee, Fla. on March 8-10 is next on the itinerary for Chadderton,.

“I’ve never been there before, so it will be an experience for me,” said Chadderton. “I know there are a lot of spectators there. A couple of my horses have been to shows like that and others haven’t. I do some cross training with the pure show jumping, and it kind of helps them out, when you get into a situation when there are crowds. They’ve seen a little bit at the show jumping competitions. There’s more atmosphere.”

Re: quickness & accuracy

It was interesting how it seemed he was going for an armbar at one he had seen it in the UFC or something. It's also interesting that he seemed to have no clue how to really make use of it, or apply it, or finish with it. Arm chair jujutsu expert.

(en) Italy, Statement on the arrest of the anarchist comrades Maximum Edging and Daniela Battistii

Date Tue, 04 Sep 2012 20:09:48 +0300

We do not enter in the magician's hat ---- Once again, some anarchists were arrested on charges delusional, a fact that is repeated periodically. Now in the nation's prisons is over Maximum Edging and his partner Daniela Battisti is under house arrest. ---- The allegations are ridiculous, the name given to the operation of police stench of fascism, "Ixodidae" which means brand is exemplary and does not hide the symbolic use of a police operation aimed at discriminating against those arrested and their role in social struggles , dall'antifascismo opposition to the construction of TAV and solidarity expressed and demonstrated the movement in Val Susa. ---- Granted the prominence media operation, waved as solvers for the success of the investigation an impressive body control telephone, mail and GPS, which demonstrate a social control by etiolate the old KGB, to get to a crime of association alone, even without objective evidence against the accused, is risking years in prison.

These arrests are the confirmation of a trend of social control to prevent any role in the near future taken by the revolutionary movement, press to support the operation of Digos, primarily that of the Democratic Party, have turned to pure criminalization of activities and behaviors can not be controlled , and then to hold up as illegal and criminalize the most classic patterns of regime propaganda, to try to remove every possible support and sharing the forms of opposition radicals, anarchists and the revolutionary movement, to hunt in jail dissent to " the fury of the people. "

We libertarians do not fall into this trap, we continue to affirm our unwillingness to compromise political and social system based on environmental destruction and social butchery imposed by the dictatorship of capitalist accumulation, a libertarian communist society and where are the workers, the working class to choose their own destiny and not the boards of directors of companies and their servants of the state.

Those arrested our human and political solidarity, we are tired of seeing comrades to be pulled out of the hat of the magicians of the state and their lives thrown to the wind to revive the show in front of an audience in the hands of the magicians of a power system that more and more uses repressive methods against any practice of dissent that is outside and against the logic of capitalist domination.

Dart hits bullseye with ‘copter service

 - February 21, 2010, 7:15 AM

Dart Helicopter Services, celebrating just its fifth anniversary this week at Heli-Expo, is weathering the recession and growing nicely, says CEO and managing partner Jeff Shapiro.

In an interview with AIN on Friday, Shapiro said the Oceanside, Calif.-based parts specialist now has an inventory of more than 3,000 parts, and an agreement reached this week with Bristow Group of the UK as its worldwide distributor increases that inventory to more than 8,000 parts.

“They have some incredible stuff, all EASA STC’d and until now only a little more than 100 items were available on the worldwide marketplace,” said Shapiro.

With the exception of 2009, which he described as rather flat, Dart Helicopter Services has been experiencing 50 percent annual growth in terms of gross revenues and even with a flat year, continues to grow and  now claims the title of “the industry’s number one provider of helicopter accessories.”

Among other recent growth milestones are:

• The addition of 500 new accessories, including fire suppression, air conditioners, tools and interior components.

• A new, expanded Web site with new provisions for online ordering, as well as an expanded hard-copy catalogue totaling 448 pages.

• A broader global presence with 12 locations worldwide and plans for additional international expansion.

• Special categories of safety-enhancing accessories, such as emergency floats, shoulder-harness kits and emergency-exit upgrades.

• Additions to a collection of special operations equipment, including FMS moving map with slaving, searchlights, external platforms and FAST rope systems.

Announced Friday was Transport Canada approval for an auxiliary fuel tank reissued in the name of affiliated partner Dart Aerospace. The tank, from John Cameron Aviation, provides 34 additional gallons of usable fuel for the Eurocopter AS350 and 40 gallons for the EC130. It extends the range by as much as 25 percent, and a provisions kit allows rapid transfer between aircraft.

Dart has also recently acquired the tooling division of Canadian conversions
and upgrades specialist Heliproducts Industries, as well as a 30-percent share of tool manufacturer Red Barn Machine of Eugene, Ore.

Those in a celebratory mood may join Shapiro and his Dart staff at Booth No. 1045 to mark the company’s fifth anniversary with wine and beer.
On display at the booth are a broad sampling of Dart products, from moving maps and life rafts to quarter doors, skid tubes and three mockups with accessories installed.

Jet Services Takes Over Le Bourget’s Darta

 - January 19, 2012, 3:30 PM

Jet Services, a company active in the French business aviation industry since 2009, has taken control of Darta, a 40-year-old executive air charter operator based at Paris Le Bourget Airport. The firm, belonging to the Ségur private equity group, bought 90 percent of Darta’s shares in late December, according to Jet Services and Ségur president Marie-Antoinette Dain. The move was announced this week. Dain told AIN that Darta’s current fleet of 10 business aircraft will soon expand. Two more Dassault Falcon 50s are to be added, for a total of five of the trijets, and one Falcon 10 will join the existing two. A further two Falcon 900s are also planned to join the fleet, and “we are considering adding a Falcon 7X and light jets such as Citation Mustangs,” Dain said. Darta’s fleet of turboprops–five Beechcraft King Air 90s and 200s–will stay unchanged. The charter firm will also benefit from a new FBO. The building, Dain said, will be able to house bizliners such as BBJs and ACJs. Jet Services has bought the entire Darta group, including handling and broker activities.

Ain't It Cool News (
Movie News

Warner Bros plans three "megamovies" based on JK Rowling's Harry Potter spinoff FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Over the weekend news broke via a New York Times profile on WB CEO Kevin Tsujihara that Warners not only wants to dip back into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, but is pushing forward with a new trilogy based on JK Rowling's textbook FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM with some unpublished stories surrounding it that Rowling was toying with around the time that 54 page book published.

The film will have nothing to do (directly) with Harry Potter or Lord You-Know-Who. In fact it will be set over seven decades before the events of the first Potter film. Oh, and it also begins in New York, which will be a major tone difference than the extremely British Potter series.

Famed magizoologist Newt Scamander will be the lead character.

Warners hasn't seen material quite like the Potter series in recent memory, so it's not surprising at all to me that they're eager to keep that revenue stream coming in. As a fan of the books and of the movies I'm curious to see how they explore the wider world only hinted at in the mostly-Hogwarts centered series we know. They have a lot of freedom to give us amazing stories and new imagery, but with that freedom they also have more room to fall flat on their faces, too. If they don't do this just right it'll just feel like an unneeded cash-in and could actually taint the world that is so revered right now.

I'm an optimist, though. If they bring on interesting young filmmakers and let them tell real, human stories set against the fantastic world we all know and love then this could be something special. We'll see.
