Optimum handling stability, low drag and low wind noise were verified both with the help of computer simulations and by sessions in the wind tunnel, as well as test drives on various high-speed tracks.
Ship stability criteria – a crucial safety matter
For a ship to be considered seaworthy and safe it must be designed to remain stable and afloat in all conditions, when both intact and damaged. Mandatory criteria and recommended provisions regarding intact stability are set out in IMO’s 2008 Intact Stability (IS) Code. Now, advanced computer technology is enabling so-called “second generation” intact stability criteria to be developed, involving assessment of ship dynamics in waves.
IMO’s Sub-Committee on Ship Design and Construction (SDC 7), meeting at IMO Headquarters (3-7 February), is expected to finalize a comprehensive set of interim guidelines on second generation intact stability criteria, including guidelines on vulnerability criteria, direct stability failure assessment and operational measures. The aim is to produce a set of guidelines for trial use. The session will also further develop associated explanatory notes.
May 3, 2016: Over the last six months, risks to global financial stability have risen, according to the International Monetary Fund’s April 2016 Global Financial Stability Report. In advanced economies, the outlook has deteriorated because of heightened uncertainty and setbacks to growth and confidence. Disruptions to global asset markets have added to these pressures. Declines in oil and commodity prices have kept risks elevated in emerging markets, while greater uncertainty about China’s growth transition has increased spillovers to global markets. These developments tightened financial conditions, reduced risk appetite, and raised credit risks, weighing on financial stability. The situation in markets appears significantly improved, but is the turmoil of the past months now safely behind us, or is it a warning signal that more needs to be done to secure financial stability? The IMF’s April 2016 GFSR addresses this key question and many others.

Georgia is the regional leader in terms of investment attractiveness and stability. Georgia has created one of the best investment environments with effective state services, a corruption-free state, and a free, fair, and open business environment, as evidenced by various ratings by international organizations, and our positions continue to improve. Making a case for investing in Georgia becomes increasingly easy for several reasons. First, investing in Georgia requires little legal hassle and normative adjustment. Georgia's Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area Agreement with the EU, signed in 2014, is of particular importance to us, as it envisions the gradual economic integration of Georgia with the EU's internal market. DCFTA has already brought about tangible results-Georgia's export into the EU has increased by 15% in 2016, while the export of some products, such as hazelnuts, copper, or mineral oils, has even doubled and tripled. This year, Georgia is starting to export to the EU a new product, honey, which is expected to become the leading product from Georgia, along with wine, hazelnuts, and blueberries. Secondly, Georgia, together with Azerbaijan, is a window to a number of markets, including the economies of Central Asia and the Far East. In this respect, we provide physical access through modern transport infrastructure and normative access in terms of free trade agreements. Specifically, we have already finalized negotiations and Georgia will be the first country in the region to have a Free Trade Agreement with China. We also have in place FTA agreements with the CIS countries, Turkey, and GSP regimes with the United States, Canada and Japan and plan to launch negotiations with India this year. Thanks to a liberal trade regime, low taxes, and our strategic location, Georgia has become a new regional frontier for investment opportunities. Thirdly, Georgia offers one of the best business environments in the world, which improves year on year. The Government of Georgia is currently implementing a 4-Point Reform Plan in four key sectors: 1) Bettering the country's business environment (tax legislation, tax administration reform, and promotion of entrepreneurship),
2) Measures seeking to increase governance transparency and inclusiveness,
3) Development of the country's infrastructure (highways and railroads, existing and new ports, transport and logistics hubs-Georgia, together with Azerbaijan and Turkey, is developing the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railroad, which will launch its operations this year), and
4) higher education reform. Under the reforms above, the startup support program is one of the key initiatives. In July 2016, Startup Georgia, a venture financing program, was announced. The project is implemented by Georgia's Innovation and Technology Agency and the Partnership Fund. Over 720 applications with innovative business ideas have been submitted under the program. As part of the project's hi-tech component, the Government, together with experts from the Silicon Valley, US, reviewed and shortlisted the 20 most effective and far-reaching startups. When it comes to a pro-business regulatory framework, Georgia has a world class outlook as a business destination. Georgia ranks 16 in the world - out of 190 countries, according to the World Bank's 2017 Ease of Doing Business index, thus improving its positions by 7 points compared to 23rd place in 2015. On the 2017 Index of Economic Freedom, Georgia placed 13th in the world, and 5th in Europe. Georgia today makes a case for investment in heavy and light manufacturing, as well as services. With high-speed trains, new road systems, and the future port near Anaklia, the only deep-sea port on the Eastern side of the Black Sea which sits on the shortest route from China to Europe that will operate year-round-we will not merely provide access to markets, but will create markets.
One major recent achievement, which will come into force tomorrow, is visa waiver for Georgia's citizens recently approved by the EU. We hope that it will help simplify people-to-people contacts and enhance business opportunities between Georgia and the EU. We certainly hope that similar opportunities will open up soon for our friends, Ukraine's citizens. We are convinced that deeper trade, economic, and transport cooperation within GUAM will have a positive impact on the further development of and reforms in our economies, ultimately to bring tangible results to our entrepreneurs and societies as a whole.
In this context, we welcome the signing of two documents, one on improving the functioning of the GUAM Free Trade Area and the other on enhancing the competitiveness of the GUAM Transport Corridor.
In closing, I would like to invite you all to visit Georgia and experience first-hand all that it has to offer.
Please accept my sincere wishes for success!

After years of political stability and economic progress, Turkey is sliding backwards in reforms and in abiding to democratic principles and the rule of law.
A serious clampdown on media and individual freedoms has started and is likely to continue beyond the general elections in June 2015.
Journalists have been arrested and the authorities are cutting back the freedom of expression and media in Turkey.
As a reaction, a recent resolution by the European Parliament reminded Turkey that a free and pluralistic press is an essential component of any democracy.
Guy Verhofstadt, President of ALDE, and Rebecca Harms, President of Greens/EFA, have invited a number of key Turkish journalists from the major media corporations to address the issue of media freedom in Turkey and the role that the EU could play in that field.
To enhance the stability and to shorten the camera package, we used a Q-Release with the Shoulder Pad to get the camera weight right on your shoulder. The Q-release mounts the shoulder pad underneath the Universal Baseplate. Also pictured is the DoubleMount, and a Red Plate all holding a professional battery for counter balance and to power the Zacuto EVF or other accessories. Yohance is using our Zacuto Z-Grips Beefy and a Zacuto Z-American Arm kit for holding the Zacuto Z-Finder EVF.
The new Project X Black features reduced weight from the original Project X graphite for explosive power while preserving critical tip stability and low spin performance. Featuring proprietary Dual Torsional Control, Project X Black reduces spin rates at impact for optimized peak trajectory with flatter descent angles for maximum carry and roll.
“TeXtreme® is a revolutionary carbon material that allows us to eliminate weight compared to the original design, while maintaining the low torque, low spin properties that established Project X as the standard for all high-performance composite shafts,” says Don Brown, Product Development Manager and designer of the new Project X Black shaft.
“Our proprietary Dual Torsional Control technology pairs the TeXtreme® fibers on the outermost layers of the shaft with super-high modulus torsional plies inside to reduce dynamic shaft twisting by as much as 25% compared to traditional designs.”
True Temper is using an 80gsm TeXtreme® carbon fabric positioned in a 45 degree angle along the shaft to achieve the mechanical properties desired.

In order to eliminate back pain that already bothers you or to stay away from injuries that may occur from day to day activities, it is important to keep the core strong and flexible. There is a number of exercises doctors and personal trainers advise you to do, but how about that time of the day when you are not able to attend a gym or hit the floor for some "ME" time?
There is a solution - SpinaliS chairs for active sitting. As a matter of fact that is the BEST SOLUTION because you don't have to do anything, but sit. At the first glance the SpinaliS chair looks like a well designed regular office chair, but there is a difference - a spring under its seat, which forces your body to keep itself in the balance thus working out your core muscles that in return will help you to get rid of the back pain and will improve your posture.
Check out SpinaliS Apollo Series chairs, which is an ideal choice for women or men with a smaller body type:
www.spinalis-chairs.ca/spinalis-chairs/apollo/
What the Core Does?
The area of the body, which is commonly referred to as the core, is your midsection and it involves all your muscles in that area including the front, back and sides. The core includes the traverse abdominis (TVA), erector spinae, obliques and your lower lats.
These muscles work as stabilizers for the entire body. Core training is simply doing specific exercises to develop and strengthen these stabilizer muscles.
If any of these core muscles are weakened, it could result in lower back pain or a protruding waistlines. Keeping these core muscles strong can do wonders for your posture and help give you more strength in other exercises like running, walking or sitting on a SpinaliS chair.

standing 15 feet up on the outer corner of the treehouse, pre-drilling holes for screws in the black locust decking ( which is so dense that i think it's going to heat the drill bit so hot it'll melt ) and it suddenly occurs to me when the wind is swaying the trees that i have a lot of faith in the structural stability of my design O_o
i mean, i feel pretty confident, but still, without the railings up the slights sense of vertigo and swaying in the wind can give you a little pause.
