Jarvis v. First Resolution

AARP Asks Ohio Supreme Court to Hold Debt Collectors Liable for Abusive Practices

AARP is asking the Ohio Supreme Court to sanction a debt collector for bringing a lawsuit that the debtor alleges had no basis in the law and sought damages that were well in excess of those permitted by law. AARP is concerned that many debtors fall prey to aggressive tactics such as these and will find themselves paying massive debts they do not owe, forcing them to choose between food, shelter, medical care and payment of debts that actually do not exist.

First Resolution is a debt collection firm that sued Sandra J. Taylor Jarvis to collect on a credit card debt it had purchased from Chase Bank.  Jarvis filed claims against First Resolution, alleging that it had engaged in deceptive practices illegal under Ohio and federal law, the suit was barred by the statute of limitations stated in the underlying credit contract, and it sought to collect an interest rate on the allegedly overdue funds of 24 percent, which was well in excess of that permitted by law.

First Resolution withdrew its suit and the court dismissed Jarvis’ counter claims. Jarvis appealed in order to get a judgment regarding First Resolution’s allegedly deceptive practices.

AARP Foundation Litigation attorneys filed AARP’s  friend-of-the-court brief on behalf of  Jarvis detailing the deceptive practices used by debt collectors, the dangers these pose – particularly to older consumers and those on fixed incomes – that  literally can be life threatening when a debtor is forced to choose between paying for food, shelter, medical needs, or debt. The brief also discusses the business practices in the debt collection industry and its built in incentives for abuse. Numerous studies show that collectors often do not have sufficient evidence to support claims yet clog the courts with hundreds of thousands of collection lawsuits every year, knowing the vast majority of the judgments will be granted by default. Commonly, old debt is purchased in portfolios containing masses of accounts with each individual account costing only a few cents on the dollar.  The incentives are to press forward with cases regardless of the validity, practices which harm consumers as well as courts.

What’s at Stake

AARP has participated in other cases advocating for the interests of victims of debt collection abuses because the issues of abuse in the debt collection industry especially impact older people. People age 50 and above are incurring and amassing increasingly unaffordable levels of debt, often triggered by the need for immediate cash due to medical treatment. Older people are also extremely vulnerable to the tactics of and threats made by debt collection agencies and are fearful of challenging debts even if those debts are erroneous, old, or had actually been paid off. The bad data, record keeping, and collections practices in the debt collection industry cause consumer abuses of significant concern, particularly in a down economy where collectors are more zealous and debtors have even fewer resources.

Case Status

Jarvis v. First Resolution is before the Ohio Supreme Court, the state’s highest court.

Flood rafting video angers SES

Updated March 02, 2012 13:21:25

ACT emergency service authorities have criticised a group of young people for their behaviour during flooding in Canberra.

A video posted on YouTube shows people floating on inflatable rafts down the flooded Sullivan's Creek at the Australian National University.

Some of them make it down the rapids, while some fall into the raging water.

It has outraged ACT State Emergency Service chief Tony Graham.

"Worst possible case scenario [they could have been] tipped out of the raft and drowned," he said.

"They could have died. They're very very lucky people.

"It's going to be a catastrophic incident if [they] continue doing this, because there can only be one outcome and it can be really bad."

Mr Graham says they were not only risking their own lives, but also the lives of people who may be have been called to rescue them.

"You don't need a lot of rain for water to start flowing very quickly. Commonly people underestimate the strength of that water," he said.

"If I could just urge everyone to use a bit of commonsense. Stop doing stupid activities and just behave when you're around these waterways."

The Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting up to 100 millimetres of rain across the region this weekend, adding to already swollen creeks and rivers.

Nauru Chief Justice says Australia has responsibility to fund trials over detention centre riot

Updated September 12, 2013 10:25:11

Nauru's Chief Justice Geoffrey Eames is calling on the incoming Australian Government to bolster his country's justice system.

Justice Eames says 98 people are still facing charges over the July riot at Australia's asylum seeker processing centre on Nauru, which caused an estimated $60 million worth of damage.

Nauru's Government has turned to Australia to fund some defence lawyers, an extra prosecutor and a new court room.

Audio: Nauru calls for Australia to help fund justice system (AM)

Justice Eames has told AM if Australia doesn't help, it could be impossible for the accused men to get a fair trial.

"The courthouse is a tiny little building, quite charming and all the rest of it, but rat-infested and extremely inadequate for the staff and for the number of people who will be processed," he said.

"These cases can't be processed unless there's a courthouse which is adequate for the purpose."

Justice Eames says without new resources, the trials will be forced to proceed slowly to meet the requirements for a fair hearing.

"The constitution of Nauru provides that not only must defendants be given a fair trial, but they must be given a speedy trial," he said.

"So that's not merely an aspiration, it's a constitutional requirement that those two conditions are met."

Justice Eames says the men facing charges wouldn't be in Nauru if it wasn't for the Australia Government, and so Australia has a responsibility to provide the resources for a fair trial to take place.

"Nauru is a very small, very poor country," he said.

"The sorts of resources that are required as a result of the huge influx of people to Nauru and the huge number of people who are now coming before the courts was obviously not anticipated.

"It's created an emergency situation which, if it's not dealt with, will cause the review of the refugee applications to be delayed very, very substantially."

    The red connector on the insole is delicate and be easily damaged. Even though the instructions say you can change the battery with the insole in the footwear, take them out when changing batteries to see what your doing. Less likely to force the battery in wrong and damage the connector. I had one connector with a stray piece of that red rubber obstructing the contacts and not letting it fully seat.

    Great Product!
    I bought a pair 2 years ago and they are still going strong. I use these for hunting & work. Working outside in the winter freezing & near freezing. I'm on my feet for up to 12 Hrs. at a time standing on frozen concrete. Not only do they keep my feet warm, the padded feet warmers cushion my feet. I would highly recommend these.

    Super comfortable
    I'm a dump truck driver and I'm required to have steel toed boots and it's really hard finding a pair of boots that can stand up to mud, diesel fuel, water, and dust while still being feminine and good looking. These fit perfectly with what I needed and still being somewhat stylish and feminine. Great boots

    great fit
    Just bought them. Very comfortable, snug fit around foot and calf. Just enough room to slip boot on and off and walk and not flop. Might be too tight fit for big calves. I also was looking for waterproof boots. Wish they made these in all leather that were waterproof. Also agree on wishing they had a more aggressive tread but like that these can be re-soled.

    Great touch, stylish
    I bought this a month ago and I'm enjoying it every time I wear. It's very stylish and have great touch with better accuracy when kicking. This F30 is a little narrower than F50 I used to have. The only con I have is my left side cleats cushion being cut too small, it doesn't cover the pinky toe part, which give an uncomfortable feeling when running. I was gonna replace it but cushions are glued in F30 so I didn't want to ruin my new cleats.

    The best socks you'll ever own!
    I started buying BCG socks around 2011. These are probably the best socks I have ever bought! They are perfect! They have everything Best Price! Quality! and Quantity! I used to buy Nike, Under Armour, and Asics socks and the problem with those is they are twice the price and only have a 2 pair or 3. Also another great thing about these BCG socks is that the black does not fade!! I still wear some from 2011 Great product! Comfortable! And Best Price!

Take a leisurely stroll around your neighborhood in a comfortable pair of casual shoes, or hit the beach to soak up some sun wearing flip-flops. Water shoes are a great way to protect the bottoms of your feet from sharp sea shells, jagged rocks, reefs and other hidden items on the bottom of the ocean or sea floor, so you can swim freely without worrying about getting hurt.

I am an Access Bars and Access Body-Process Facilitator.

I always wondered on what is the completeness in living and the real purpose of my being?
I lost myself in the on-going chase of goals and found myself in endless seeking for the last 24 years to fill the emptiness in my being. I’ve tried many modalities and followed rigorous religious rituals, gurus, astrology, only to reach to a destination where I found myself. The journey starts with me and ends with me and everything and everyone around are creations of my perception to discover myself and experience myself in different emotions.

Access Consciousness opened the door not only towards my inner discovery but also towards possibilities, magic and potency.

As Anita Moorjhani quotes in her book ‘Dying to be me’, “I realized that I was at the center of this universe and knew that we all express from our perspective, as we’re each at the center of this great cosmic web,” Access allowed me to reach this realization.

With simple pragmatic tools and techniques, Access showed me my expansive energy of liberation and allowance of all good, bad, right, wrong. It enabled me to step into a magical land of living here and now.

Access Bars introduced me to true living in the moment and ability to embrace all ambiguity. Access Foundation & Level 1, brought me to a state of true reflection and the ability of living in a question and in the creative energy of every moment.
Access body further enhanced my sense of communion with my body and gave me the ability to experience its magnificence. Access Level 2/3, empowered me to see my capabilities to create beyond this finite reality.
Access has had so much profound change in such a short time that I proceeded to become a facilitator in Access Bars and Access Body-Process to be a gift to the community.

How does it get any better than that!!

What if body is a simple tool for us to experience living in the moment?

When did we listen to our body being a contribution to our living and showed gratitude towards it?

If you choose to, I could be a contribution to you by running some of the energies to explore with you the possibilities. I offer private bars sessions & body processes where you can shift your life and undo programming of limitation. The energy sessions will tap into your energy allowing you to step into infinite possibilities.

Hi Martin,

The two you can't see are standard youtube embeds. Can you normally see them on other sites?

What is a "youtube embed"?
When a site says "...and here is a link to..." I can normally see a link. Does that answer your question?
Where else might I see a "youtube embed" and how will I know?

Hi Martin,

Sorry for the delayed response, I have been out of the office these last few days.

What my colleague was referring to was YouTube embed codes, which we use to display YouTube videos on our site. It seems your browser isn't allowing you to view them via, so I will put links to the videos on YouTube so you can you view them there:

Ah I see the problem now...but not the videos!
It seems that my employer's webfiltering system won't allow streaming video media (I am more of a radio than TV person so hadn't realised this before as radio streaming is allowed).
So not your fault but I still can't see the clips. Any chance of posting a picture summarising the action?

Thanks (0)
03rd Jul 2009 09:48

Unfortunately we didn't film the videos ourselves, they came straight from YouTube so I don't have any pictures on hand. Perhaps you could watch them from your home PC? You'll be sorry if you miss John's song, it's a corker!

Georgia Tech-Florida State Review

Until starting QB Josh Nesbitt got hurt, that was the best GT’s offense had played all year.

B-back Jonathan Dwyer had 145 yards on just 13 carries. That is vintage Paul Johnson.

Nesbitt’s status is uncertain for next week. Many Tech fans were calling for backup Jaybo Shaw to start/play more after last week. Funny how we don’t hear these calls now.

I don’t know why FSU didn’t throw more jump balls to Greg Carr. GT was playing 2 true freshman the entire game in the secondary and Carr dwarfed every GT DB.

Regarding the fumble on the goal line, CB Rashaad Reid had the ball in his sights and tried to scoop it and run with it! Luckily no FSU players were close and he was able to fall on it after bobbling.

Many will say GT was lucky to win this one and it may be true. But they had several interceptions dropped. And we don’t know that FSU would have scored a TD on 3rd down without the fumble. Ok they were a little lucky.

The loss by Virginia, puts Tech right back in the Coastal Division hunt. All the tiebreaker possibilities give me a headache.

Last Week: 0-4 ATS, 1-3 SU
Season: 23-13-2 ATS, 24-14 SU

Jennifer Aniston Loves Gisele Bundchen's Body, Nachos, 'The Voice'

Jennifer Aniston

The actress revealed her secret desires and guilty pleasures, saying she would love to trade bodies with Bundchen for a day.

Jennifer Aniston has an enviable body but the actress herself has a secret admire for another woman's. The former "Friends" star said she would trade body with Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen for a day if she could.

"Would I really want to give it back?" Aniston joked in an interview with Self magazine. "I'd love to be able to ski like a crazy person, like Lindsey Vonn. Then I'd also like to have Gisele Bundchen's body, just 'cuz, why not?"

Revealing her secret desires and guilty pleasures, Aniston admitted that she would eat nachos even after they had fallen to the ground. "I fry the chips myself," she said. "Just take a tortilla, cut it into triangles, and throw 'em in coconut oil."

The current trend may be selfies but Aniston is not following. "I don't understand them," she said. "I feel like there's enough out there, why add to it? And she would hate friends who sing along to song on the radio. "Oh my God, I hate it," she said. "I like to hear the song - don't sing it. Please! I'd record you to sing it if I wanted to hear you sing it."

What she really likes are such reality shows as "The Voice" and "America's Got Talent". The 45-year-old said, "The auditions really kind of are fabulous." And her idea of a Sunday morning is "having eggs and a bagel and reading the paper. I start with the front page, then the travel section, arts and leisure or the calendar. How I take my eggs depends on my mood. But I always throw a yolk in there - the yolk's got a bad rap."

As for her wish if she ruled the world, Aniston said, "Be kind. Oh, I would command everyone to stop buying tabloids! I would command everyone to stop violence."

Achieving a More Sustainable Airport Industry Every Day

By Kevin M. Burke, President and CEO, ACI-NA

Airports are more than gateways to travel.  Airports are gateways to a more sustainable community. And while the calendar says today is Earth Day, airports are in the business of being stewards of the environment all year long. I am especially proud of the positive work North American airports undertake every day to be good neighbors, leading the way in establishing environmental best practices in local communities.

Earlier this week during our Airports@Work Conference in Austin, TX, ACI-NA recognized the airport industry’s very best in environmental achievement.  Each year, the ACI-NA Environmental Achievement Awards are presented to airports that strive persistently to preserve the environment. This year, we are proud to recognize Tampa International Airport, Gerald R. Ford International Airport, Vancouver Airport Authority, and Nashville International Airport for their continued leadership in protecting the environment, educating their community, and creating a more sustainable industry.

As they advance this important work, our member airports continue to impress in their ability to innovate and implement better and more sustainable strategies to protect and preserve the environment. Minimizing our industry’s environmental footprint not only protects valuable natural resources, but it also makes great business sense because we know that sustainable business habits reduce operating costs.

North American airports are also demonstrating global leadership and becoming better partners in the aviation system by managing and reducing their carbon footprint.  As North American airport participation in the Airport Carbon Accreditation program grows, ACI-NA applauds the significant steps airports are taking to be leaders in environmental stewardship.

ACI-NA joined Airport Carbon Accreditation and recognized Seattle-Tacoma International Airport as the first North American airport to attain certification in 2014.  Since ACI-NA joined the program, 12 North American airports have joined more than 150 global airports in attaining certification, including Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Montréal – Pierre Elliot Trudeau International Airport, Portland International Airport, Portland Hillsboro Airport, Portland Troutdale Airport, Victoria International Airport, Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport, Denver International Airport, Honolulu International Airport, Toronto Pearson International Airport, San Francisco International Airport, and Winnipeg Richardson International Airport.

Join me in congratulating San Francisco and Winnipeg as the newest members of the Airport Carbon Accreditation family.  By achieving the ambitious goals of Airport Carbon Accreditation, these airports are setting our industry on a path toward continued success in innovation and sustainability.

These powerful results are not because of ACI-NA.  This leadership in environmental stewardship comes directly from engaged industry through ACI-NA’s Environmental Affairs Committee.  ACI-NA’s Environmental Affairs Committee – one of our largest and fastest growing committees – is responsible for the development and implementation of ACI-NA environmental policy positions on issues such as noise, air quality, water quality, waste management, wildlife, and environmental review processes. Over the last few years, this group has undertaken major industry projects to set our industry on a course for a more sustainable future, and their work is paying off on Earth Day and every day.

One Year Later, Travelers Continue to Benefit from Mobile Passport App

By Matt Cornelius, Managing Director, Air Policy, ACI-NA

As we celebrate the one year anniversary of Mobile Passport Control today, ACI-NA continues to welcome growing passenger satisfaction with our innovative app. Mobile Passport allows eligible travelers to submit their passport information and customs declaration form via an iOS or Android device prior to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) inspection. This first-of-its-kind app was developed by ACI-NA and Airside Mobile in partnership with U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

“Passenger facilitation is a top priority for North American airports and our airline partners,” said ACI-NA President and CEO Kevin M. Burke at a press event earlier this summer at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. “This new technology offers passengers one more tool for fast and efficient entry into the United States while maintaining the highest safety and security standards. As more and more travelers adopt Mobile Passport, we could not be more pleased with the early results and increased efficiency we are already seeing.”

First launched at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport one year ago today, Mobile Passport has now been successfully deployed at Miami International Airport, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, and Chicago O’Hare International Airport, and San Francisco International Airport.

Since its official launch, the Mobile Passport app has been downloaded nearly 150,000 times. The app has been used more than 62,000 times by eligible travelers entering the United States, with half of all transactions taking place at Miami International Airport. Additionally, the app recently received its 500th five-star rating in the iTunes app store. Mobile Passport was also recognized as the Best Immigration and Arrivals Initiative in 2015 by the Future Travel Experience Awards.

In addition to transforming the Customs clearance process for eligible travelers arriving in the United States, Mobile Passport has proved to be an outstanding example of the kind innovation that occurs when industry and government work together to achieve cost-effective solutions.

“Airports see a clear role for innovative technology in creating a more efficient traveler experience, and Mobile Passport is just the beginning,” said Burke. “Moreover, Canadian, Asian, European airports have acknowledged U.S. leadership on Mobile Passport and have expressed interest in expanding Mobile Passport technology globally.”

ACI-NA Takes Home Three ‘Fastest Growing’ Awards

ACI-NA’s Vice President of Conferences, Education and Partnerships Dee Clemmons was spotted on the red carpet at the Fastest 50 Awards and Summit last night with ACI-NA Annual Conference and Exhibition partners from Show Management Solutions.

ACI-NA’s Vice President of Conferences, Education and Partnerships Dee Clemmons was spotted on the red carpet at the Fastest 50 Awards and Summit last night with ACI-NA Annual Conference and Exhibition partners from Show Management Solutions.

During the Fastest 50 Awards and Summit in Chicago last night, ACI-NA was presented with three awards after being identified as one of the 50 fastest growing trade shows in the United States by Trade Show Executive. The 2014 ACI-NA Annual Conference and Exhibition, hosted in Atlanta by Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, took home Top 25 honors in all three growth categories, including growth in attendance, increase in exhibits, and expansion of the trade show floor. “Industry support for the ACI-NA Annual Conference and Exhibition continues to grow because of the high priority our members place on having an impactful forum to discuss challenges and collaborate around solutions,” said ACI-NA President and CEO Kevin M. Burke. Industry stakeholders can begin registering for the 2015 ACI Annual Conference and Exhibition, which will be hosted in Long Beach by Long Beach Airport October 4 – 7, 2015.

Up, Up, and Away: Hudson Group Finds that Millenial Travel Is on the Rise

We live in a digital world. Truth be told, I’m never more than a few feet away from my smartphone. It’s amazing how one small device can do so much to keep us organized and connected in every aspect of our lives.

The smart phone has even taken on the role of travel agent. Exciting new domestic and global destinations are accessible through Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. With a few taps, I can log into my airline’s app and book my airfare in minutes. In Atlanta, Miami, and Seattle, I can use my smartphone to clear customs. At some airports, I can even arrange for Uber or Lyft to pick me up, all without missing a beat.

More and more members of my generation are harnessing this digital power to travel. In fact, millennials are traveling more than any other generation according to the Hudson Group’s latest 2015 travel trends infographic.

As an aviation newbie, I’m quickly learning how eager airports are to embrace mobile technology to enhance the travel experience. You can read about some of the latest airport mobile trends in ACI-NA’s latest issue of Centerlines.

Millennials like me are looking for an easy airport experience. We want airports to provide us with the ability to use digital boarding passes, access free (and fast!) wifi, and order a taxi from our phones. While most airports are working to progress with technology, figuring out how to do so and what’s next is no easy task.

That’s why ACI-NA is excited about our upcoming Business of Airports Conference this April 20 – 22 in Phoenix, AZ. The entire conference designed to help airports think about “what’s next” and how to get there. Through networking and interactive sessions, airport decision makers and innovative concessionaires and service providers will have the opportunity to discuss and discover the different ways to embrace technology in the airport environment. Mobile trends will at the core of the conference agenda as we explore non-aeronautical revenue and infrastructure considerations, including in depth discussions on ride-booking apps and more.

Is Your Home A Toxic Environment?

Diet and Nutrition News & Advice, Featured, Fitness News & Advice, Mobile Slider Featured, Your Health

Your home sweet home—the place where you hang your hat and rest your weary bones after a hard day of work is meant to fuel your health and happiness. However, unbeknownst to many, home can actually influence bad habits and encourage poor health if it encourages a sedentary lifestyle, poor food choices, and other unhealthy behaviors.

Here are nine ways to make sure your home isn’t a breeding ground for poor health:

1. Lower the Temperature

Did you know that setting your thermostat too high actually attributes to weight gain?  So claims a study published in the Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism journal, which states if your heating remains in the comfortable 70s (or 21-degrees Celsius zone) its occupants are more likely to be obese because the body isn’t activating brow fat, which spurs metabolism and disburses the calories necessary to warm itself up. Now that’s reason to keep it cool and throw on a sweater if you need to.

SAM 2015 in figures

The 2nd edition of the SAM took place in Dakar from 29 June to 3 July 2015

547 participants attended the SAM 2015!  Number of attendees skyrocketed till 620 including official foreign office delegation, politics and VIPs during the opening ceremony. On this day, SAM was definitely the place where to be! Even north Korea diplomatic reprensatives (and perfect fluent French speakers) joined the event. SAM’s notoriety spread over African borders.

Look at all the SAM 2015 videos on our YoutTube channel!

For website Theme

Theme 2015: Accelerating Innovative Rural Finance in Africa

In 2015, the theme of SAM was dedicated to Accelerating Innovative Rural Finance in Africa

Financing agriculture and other rural economic activities in Africa is fundamental to significantly improving living conditions. More than a quarter of the population in the Sub-Saharan African region does not have access to adequate nutrition. 70 % of the population lives dispersed, in untapped rural areas. Taking into account the fact that the population is set to double by 2050 and triple by 2100, Africa needs to find innovative financial solutions which have the potential of boosting food production and agricultural development, while transforming rural space in a positive manner.

The second edition of the SAM focused on solutions that aim to accelerate innovative financing in rural Africa as well as the challenges of rural exodus, food production and distribution, climate change and environmental protection.

The event’s second edition, the AMT’s 7th Investors’ Fair, was set to become even bigger as, traditionally reserved to rated MFI’s, it was opened to all African MFIs (Tiers 1, 2 and 3). Check the official pictures of the event online!

Added to this, for the first time, the African Microfinance Week has hosted an Innovation Fair, which welcomed new technologies and MIS-solutions providers.

Composite Analysis for Ford GT

Article From: 2/1/2005 Automotive Design & Production

The Ford GT has a curb weight of just 3,485 lb.

The Ford GT has a curb weight of just 3,485 lb. Which means that there are a whole lot of lightweight components used in the assembly of the vehicle. One such component is the deck lid inner. Unlike other cars, the deck lid inner is a rather large component, measuring approximately 7 x 5 ft, as it encompasses the engine and rear wheel wells because of the clamshell-cover configuration. Initially, the deck lid inner was to be a four-piece aluminum assembly. But based on an analysis of weight and costs (manufacturing, tooling, assembly), an alternative was sought. The selected alternative is a unidirectional carbon fiber-epoxy composite component produced by Sparta Composites (San Diego; Sparta is better known as a defense contractor than an automotive supplier. In the case of the GT, it was a subcontractor to Mayflower Vehicle Systems, which is responsible for the body-in-white.

Initially it was proposed that Sparta use the process deployed to make the hood for the 2004 Commemorative Edition Z06 Corvette: laying up unidirectional prepreg tape on an Invar alloy mold, then curing it in an autoclave (see: “Unidirectional tape is more expensive than aluminum and more difficult to lay up than a woven prepreg,” says Gary Lum, Sparta engineer. So given that the aluminum assembly was deemed to be too expensive, another alternative had to be found. Which was to figure out how to effectively and efficiently deploy the unidirectional tape, especially as regards the lay up. One of the things the company did was deploy FiberSIM software from Vistagy (Waltham, MA; This software works within a CAD system (in this case CATIA v5). It permits the user to perform part and process analysis for composite components. So one of the things Sparta engineers used it for was to simulate the manufacturability of the decklid component, to determine how the layers would need to be applied, and how many of them in which sections. Also, it was used for strength verification; says JT Lyons, Sparta program engineer, “With a part this thin—1.5 mm—it was crucial that we avoid splice stack-up. If, for example, three splice ends met on top of each other, that point would be considerably weaker than the rest of the part.” Also, they used it to be assured that the part as processed wouldn’t have wrinkles or buckles, because the deck lid inner isn’t painted. In addition, the software was used to determine how the flat patterns for the material needed to be cut before the tooling was available, which saved time in this time-constrained program.

The part as produced, incidentally, weighs just over 14 lb.
