The aerospace industry continues to be challenged by increasing competition and cost pressures as well as rising energy costs, high raw material prices and a weak US Dollar. To combat these challenges, airframe manufacturers, aerospace OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers are leveraging the advantages arising from the globalization of the aerospace supply chain. They are adapting to these challenges by outsourcing more and more elements of technology, design and component/sub-assembly manufacture.
For the aerospace supply chain, this is an opportunity as well as a threat. It is an opportunity for those suppliers who can innovate, adopt high level technologies, implement best practices and invest in change – such suppliers will win larger amounts of work from their customers. Those suppliers who cannot do this, could find themselves removed from the airframe manufacturer/OEMs' supply chain.
Typical Aerospace Supply Chain
For the successful players, the coordination and integration of supply chain practices and processes are becoming increasingly important, and requires lots of attention. Traditionally the large aircraft manufacturer would define and specify exactly what their Tier 1 suppliers should produce for them The airframe manufacturers would do the total aircraft design, and give their suppliers detailed specifications and drawings for the manufacture of sub structures and sub systems. This is changing. Airframe manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers have become large scale integrators ("super integrators") and coordinators of airplane production. New strategies adopted by the aerospace industry to achieve this include greater dependence on Tier 1s, increased risk sharing by suppliers, adoption of low cost region suppliers, increased aero structures outsourcing, and an increased transparency in their aircraft program plans and schedules. RFPs are shared openly, and proposal making is more a joint process between customer and supplier. There is more focus on systems integration, less internal production capability, a desire to work with a lesser number of Tier I primes, and significant reduction in direct dealings with Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers (except when developing such suppliers in low cost regions like India). Some examples of this happening have been studied by management consulting company AeroStrategy (www.AeroStrategy.com) – they describe how Embraer had about 350 suppliers for their EMB 145 aircraft, of which 4 were risk sharing, compared to 38 suppliers for the EMB 170/190, of which 16 were risk sharing. Similarly, Rolls Royce had about 250 suppliers for their Trent 500 engine, which went down to 140 suppliers for the Trent 900, 75 suppliers for the Trent 1000, and it is estimated that there would be only around 25 to 35 suppliers for the engine being developed for the next generation single aisle/narrow body (the Boeing 737 RS or the Airbus NSR).
|For the successful players, the coordination and integration of supply chain practices and processes are becoming increasingly important, and requires lots of attention. This requires an organization-wide expansive learning process followed by development of a whole new network of next level (Tier 2/3) partners. It is a strategy that will involve major changes in aircraft production
Airbus's Power8 initiative, which aims to improve financial returns, reduce cycle times and increase overall efficiency, also incorporates changes in supply chain. Airbus has initiated plans to shift from seven, mostly national centers of excellence, to four transnational centers of excellence. Airbus senior management has publically stated that they are reshaping and consolidating their existing supply base, and building a network of strong Risk Sharing Partners to Tier 1 suppliers. For example, EADS's E2S (Engineering Supplier Synergy) program reduced EADS's more than 2000 engineering services suppliers, to just 28, of which 4 are from India. The aim is to turn Airbus into an extended enterprise, and it is expected that the A350 XWB will draw on this new business model, as Airbus assigns larger work packages to Tier 1 suppliers. Airbus has stated that about 50 per cent of aero structures work will be outsourced to risk-sharing partners, and this is expected to help address launch aid and political issues.
Boeing's 787 development is another example of leveraging a global supply chain, with aero structures work being done in Japan, larger amounts of fuselage work being outsourced to American aero structures Tier 1s, and avionics development and testing being outsourced to India through Boeing's systems Tier 1 suppliers.
However, increased outsourcing gives rise to tensions and conflicts between established practices and the need to change these practices. Internal resistance to such changes, for various reasons ranging from perceived loss of job security (and thereby loss of income) to loss of control on the development process (and thereby loss of control on a program schedule) gives rise to conflicts. The recent strike by Boeing machinists is an example of such a conflict. Senior management in airframe manufacturer/OEM companies need to navigate these hurdles in order to successfully leverage global supply chains. One important message to give the existing employees in their organizations (substantiated with data, policy implementation proof, etc.) is that outsourcing work is good. For example, outsourcing would actually mean more job security for existing workers, since in periods of downturns, it would be the contractors/outsourced work that would be removed/stopped first, thus protecting the in-house workforce. In addition, information should be shared with the employees about the lack of younger aerospace engineers in the system, thereby creating the potential of a vacuum in aerospace engineering workforce when the existing workforce retires (this is a demographic shift that is causing major concern in the western world). Also, market information should be shared with them, showing the buying patterns of aircraft worldwide, and indicating the high growth areas. The logic used could go like this: India and China are buying the largest number of planes, and so these countries will play a larger role in the development of the planes, due to offset obligations and the need for airframe manufacturers to be seen as playing a significant role in the high-tech industrialization of these countries. Lastly, argument has to be made that globalization of the supply chain would make the airframe manufacturer more competitive, and hence will enable more planes to be sold, and hence would help in the sustenance and growth of the company. But one must admit, it is far easier to expound the above arguments on paper, than it is to actually convince an existing employee base that globalization and outsourcing is good for most people concerned. The existing realities and relationships within an organization are much more complex, and it requires an imaginative and sensitive mind to be aware of the power plays and insecurities involved. Thus, suppliers need to be aware of this, and must take into account all of this when making a pitch for outsourcing. Also, it helps if in addition to the traditional stakeholders like Senior Management, Engineering and Procurement within an organization who get involved in outsourcing decision, the HR (Human Resources) department also gets involved.
In the present competitive global market, major investments have to be made to enhance the innovative steps regarding design, technology and operations. These huge investments cannot be carried by airframe manufacturers alone. Therefore those high technology suppliers and Tier 1s who are able to invest in change are taken on board as risk-sharing partners with the airframe manufacture. This requires an organization-wide expansive learning process followed by development of a whole new network of next level (Tier 2/3) partners. It is a strategy that will involve major changes in aircraft production. The airframe manufacturer therefore will no longer tell the partners what to do. They will instead search the global market for the most capable and reliable suppliers as risk-sharing partners. The capacity of an aerospace supplier to appreciate, process and absorb external knowledge and learnings from past and present experiences, is important, when it comes to winning a position as a risk-sharing partner to an airframe manufacturer. As a result of globalization, airframe manufacturers and OEMs have a richer portfolio of supplier alternatives than earlier. Three key regions––East Asia (including China & India), Eastern Europe, and Latin America, are coming up as locations where labor intensive aerospace work can be done at lower costs. Aero structures work is increasingly viewed as non-core for aircraft OEMs. Most OEMs are not competitive in aero structures because of high labor costs and a broad array of suppliers. As a result, they are pursuing aero structures outsourcing on new aircraft programs, particularly in the air transport and rotary wing segments. Training and developing low cost region companies is a relatively low cost expenditure for the Tier 1 suppliers and the airframe manufacturer, compared to dealing with western labor costs. For players in the aerospace supply chain, the capacity to engage into these processes and benefit from them is highly dependent on a company's position in the supply chain. Small, low technology western suppliers do not usually have the financial capacity to redesign their operations significantly. These companies are facing competition from the suppliers in the low cost regions like India.
The above gives rise to opportunities for companies in India (outside of HAL) who aspire to become players in the aerospace supply chain. Companies like who can provide engineering design services ranging from CAD (drafting, detailing and modeling), CAE (finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, simulation and flight physics), electrical wiring/harness design, technical publications, manufacturing engineering, avionics design, testing and integration, etc. will find buyers for their services, provided they also have the necessary process discipline that certifications like AS9100, DO178B and DO254 compliance provide. Excellent configuration management, IP security and integrity guarantee are some of the other things that aerospace OEMs and Tier 1s will look for, in India companies. But the most important factor would be aerospace domain knowledge. Given the level of domain knowledge that exists in services companies in India today, especially in mechanical engineering and avionics, a reasonably high level of work does get outsourced to India. However, OEMs and Tier 1s do not farm out very high level / complexity in large volumes to India currently – they prefer that such work is done by existing Tier 1 companies in the west who then use Indian companies for further subcontracting, and provide the domain knowledge, guidance and hand holding necessary to ensure smooth execution of the work. For Indian suppliers to go higher up the value chain in design services, they need to have delegated authority signatories / direct engineering representatives (DERs) on board who can sign-off on designs. For this, they need to implement EFQM (European Foundation for Quality Management) systems, get EASA and FAA approved processes, etc. They need to have people with enough high level domain knowledge on board. While HAL, NAL and DRDO organizations are a source of such people, Indian suppliers should also look at tapping the pool of aerospace chief engineer level people from USA, UK, France, Germany, etc. who would be retiring from their existing jobs, but willing to work on a part time / consultancy basis, thus imparting their tribal knowledge to younger engineers. QuEST Global Engineering is one such company that provides engineering design services using such people.
But design work can only save some money due to labor arbitrage, because it is a one time activity. For OEMs and Tier 1s to really benefit from low cost regions, service provider companies in these regions need to help OEMs and Tier 1s save money by doing design in such a way, so as to save costs in manufacturing, either through reduction of material costs, reduction in machining operations, using lesser number of parts, reducing assembly costs, etc. Since manufacturing is a repeated activity (i.e. multiple components/sub assemblies need to be manufactured from the same design), there will be a higher quantum of savings from manufacturing. By getting aerospace work done in India, aerospace OEMs and Tier 1s can derive as much as 50% cost savings on engineering design. This can directly be attributed to the difference in cost of engineering design labor between the west and India. But the quantum of savings can be increased by outsourcing machining related activities, special processing and assembly related activities. In order to deliver cost savings in these areas, engineering design companies in India need to be very familiar with the nuances of aerospace manufacturing. In addition, companies need to be able to understand how replacement of operations that were automated in the west, can be replaced by skilled labor in India. Being in a low cost region does not provide any advantage as far as the acquisition cost of machines and automation equipment is concerned – a special purpose machine costs the same in India as in the US. Similarly, the raw material would cost the same in both regions (probably a bit more in India due to the logistical requirements). Thus it limits the savings potential when the same machining or manufacturing process is involved in India as it is in the west. This problem is accentuated by very high levels of cost of capital (currently at around 14%) in India. Hence, the key to achieve higher savings in manufacturing costs, is to explore the possibility of how the initial/upfront capital expenditure costs can be reduced, and how the labor content can be increased. The opportunity for the aerospace industry therefore, is to look at accomplishing this in India. This can be achieved in India by de-automation, rather than by automation - the exact opposite of what happened in the west. If one were to breakup/strip down the manufacturing processes, and study what previously automated activities could be replaced by labor without compromising on quality, thereby doing away with some machines and equipment and thus saving capital investments, the potential cost savings could be as high as 20% - 30% in the total cost of manufacturing. This is one of the principles used by QuEST Global Manufacturing to deliver value in aerospace machining to its customers. For example, one of the products currently outsourced to QuEST Global for manufacturing, required a $1,000,000 flexible transfer line which needed auto-loading and transfer automation based on the original manufacturing process. QuEST Global substituted the elements of auto loading and transfer automation with manual loading and transfer. This reduced the capital expenditure by more than $500,000. This in effect increased the potential manufacturing cost savings and rendered the project economically viable for offshore outsourcing. An important point to be noted, is that the substitution of automation with labor must be supported by streamlining of systems and practices, ensuring the appropriate levels of skilled labor with the right knowledge is put to the task, etc. This involves extensive training, strict adherence to standard operating procedures and quality consciousness. The initial cost of this effort can be high due to the learning curve, and this can reduce the saving potential for the first year of operations, but it delivers higher savings in the subsequent years. Further cost savings can be achieved by doing the process design in such a manner as to take into account the new de-automated manufacturing process.
Global Competitiveness: Aerospace Machined parts & Assembly (QuEST analysis based on McKinsey Institute study)
QuEST Global (the holding company of QuEST Global Engineering and QuEST Global Manufacturing) has taken a further step by creating QuEST Global SEZ (Special Economic Zone). In this precision engineering SEZ, best-in-class facilities and infrastructure for the global aerospace industry will be provided. The SEZ is spread over 300 acres at Belgaum in Northern Karnataka and will provide an ecosystem for OEMs, their suppliers, all ancillary and related end user industries to set up precision manufacturing and engineering units. The SEZ has received all statutory approvals and Phase-I will be operational by end of this year. QuEST Global is inviting like-minded companies who can play a value-adding role in the aerospace precision engineering ecosystem, to setup facilities in the SEZ, where there would be a steady flow of job work. QuEST Global is inviting players across the value chain, like aerospace specialty metal suppliers, investment, sand and lost-wax casting companies, tooling companies, fastener manufacturers, sheet metalworking companies, composites manufacturing companies, and heat treatment companies to setup shop in the SEZ. QUEST Global by itself is expanding its precision machining (3/4/5 axis machining) in the SEZ, and is also setting up a special processing company as a 50:50 joint venture with Magellan Aerospace. This processing company will provide services like anodizing, alodine, paint & primer, passivation, shot peening, MPI, FPI, heat treatment, assembly processes, etc.
The strategic advantage of having players across the value chain in aerospace manufacturing in the SEZ, would be the amount of time saved for logistics which is highly time consuming in the case of aerospace systems and assemblies. Since each unit in the SEZ would be a specialist in their own segment, this would be more of a win-win situation where everyone would gain.
The theoretical business opportunity for Indian aerospace supply chain players is huge. What companies need to do, is to enlarge the size of the pie, by doing things to move up the aerospace value chain, thus gaining the confidence of aerospace OEMs and Tier 1s, and converting the potential into reality. And companies like QuEST Global are doing just that.

Mount Changbai(长白山)
Mount Changbai [nipic.com]
Located on the border between China and the DPRK, Mount Changbai is one of the most famous mountains in China. It belongs to Changbai Mountain Range, which extends from northeast China's Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning provinces to the DPRK's Ryanggang and Chagang provinces.
Most peaks of the mountain exceed 2,000 meters above sea level, and its main peak, Baiyun (white clouds), rises 2,691 meters above sea level. Most of the peak is covered with white rocks and snow, which look like white clouds, and this is how it was named.
Mount Changbai is the source of the Songhua River. The dormant volcanoes in the Changbai Mountains present unique landforms. Tourists can enjoy the primeval forests, waterfalls, hot springs, mountain gullies and ice and snow scenes, which form a bright and charming scenic sight. The most well-known site of the mountain is Heaven Lake, a crater lake known for its beautiful scenery.
Changbaishan Nature Reserve was involved in the UNESCO's "Man and Biosphere" program in 1980 and has become part of the world's biosphere reserves.

Co-creating a culture of peace
Wednesday, October 2nd, 2013
By Robert C. Koehler
The community was out of control ŌĆö the children, oh my God, the children, were sniffing gasoline and pretty much abandoning any pretense of a future ŌĆö and the social and criminal-justice systems were just adding to the problem. Nothing was working.
ŌĆ£Our children slammed us against a brick wall,ŌĆØ Burma Bushie said.
This is the story of a culture in shambles. It was the early ŌĆÖ80s. BushieŌĆÖs community is called the Hollow Water First Nation Reserve, a village of about 900 people in eastern Manitoba, more or less at the end of the highway. There was one road in and one road out.
They may have felt utterly isolated in their troubles, but what a few of them started to do ŌĆö in synchronicity with people in other indigenous communities ŌĆö has spread hope and awareness across the planet. They began reaching beyond the known (i.e., Western) world, deep into their souls and into the roots of a lost way of life, to save their children and the future. Without intending to, they started a movement. And the slow reverberation of change continues to spread.
I felt it this past weekend in Des Moines, Iowa, at a remarkable conference sponsored by Des Moines University called Moral Injury from Sexual Abuse and War: Soul Wounds and Soul Repair (A Community Responsibility). Bushie was one of the presenters, along with Rupert Ross, a retired Canadian crown attorney and the author of Returning to the Teachings, which, among much else, chronicles the story of Hollow Water and the concept of healing-based justice; and Rita Nakashima Brock, author of Soul Repair and co-director of the Soul Repair Center in Fort Worth, which helps vets reclaim their lives.
This was a conference about paradigm shift, and no one embodies this with more amazement and humility than Burma Bushie, now an Anishinaabe elder, who was part of the Hollow Water group that stood up to the broken system that was devouring their children.
ŌĆ£Our children were acting out ŌĆö not learning. That was our beginning,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£We couldnŌĆÖt hide anymore. The Indian reservation-school system, the child welfare system ŌĆö all these systems that came to help us more or less became our enemies.ŌĆØ
The committed team of change-bringers began talking to one another about their own lives, as well as the troubles around them. They began addressing the issue of alcoholism, an obvious surface manifestation of far deeper matters. ŌĆ£Each time we cleared up one level, we found another,ŌĆØ Bushie said. ŌĆ£When we got to sexual abuse ŌĆö we knew thatŌĆÖs what we had to deal with. . . .
ŌĆ£I was abused as a child,ŌĆØ she told us. ŌĆ£I thought IŌĆÖd dealt with it, put it away, that it hadnŌĆÖt touched me. Not true.ŌĆØ She was abused by a grandfather from ages 6 to 9. She was raped at age 12. ŌĆ£All that horror lived inside me ŌĆö lived inside me.ŌĆØ
When she began talking to others about this, something extraordinary happened. She realized she wasnŌĆÖt alone. She began learning that many, many others in this tiny community had had the same experience. ŌĆ£We lived day to day in the same community never talking about it. How could we live with ourselves, become mothers and grandmothers, with all that harm inside us?
ŌĆ£When we finally looked at ourselves, at what weŌĆÖd gone through as children, we knew it was time to change that, to clear things up. We knew we couldnŌĆÖt hand down that legacy to our children.ŌĆØ
And hereŌĆÖs where the collision of cultures comes in ŌĆö or in point of fact, returns with a vengeance. Indigenous peoples all over the world had their ways of life shattered during more than four centuries of colonial conquest. And even when the conquest part ended, the cultural genocide continued, in the form of boarding schools and countless other attempts to nullify ŌĆ£primitive,ŌĆØ holistic cultures and strip native peoples of their spiritual legacies and connection to Mother Earth and one another.
All of us are reaping the consequences of the triumph of exploitative, disconnected Western civilization, in the form of war, eco-collapse and so much else, but indigenous communities such as Hollow Water bore ŌĆö and continue to bear ŌĆö far deeper, far more immediate consequences as well. The alcoholism, the rampant crime, the ŌĆ£whirlwind,ŌĆØ as Ross described it, of sexual abuse are all part of the legacy of a broken culture. When Bushie and others stood up to address their dysfunctionality and rescue their children, they reached for the old ceremonies and teachings, which had been dormant for at least half a century. In essence, they began rebuilding their culture.
And at the core of it all was the circle: the whole. They sat with one another in peace circles and talked with raw honesty. They sat with the injured and those who caused harm. As Ross put it, ŌĆ£Their definition of justice sounded more like our definition of healing.ŌĆØ It was about healing, about reconnecting people with one another and their surroundings. The Hollow Water team had made lifelong commitments to heal their community and supplant the Western replacement legacy of punishment-based justice and welfare bureaucracies, which only intensified the wreckage.
And as I say, this has now become a movement ŌĆö often called restorative, or transformative, justice ŌĆö that is spreading throughout the broken Western world, including my town, Chicago (murder capital of America).
We canŌĆÖt continue to live in such a state of alienation and anger, or allow our children to keep teaching us ŌĆö so often, with their lives ŌĆö that change is long overdue. I look at the headlines and attempt to understand, as Bushie put it, ŌĆ£the sacredness of a child teaching you. You must go down to the same level as a child. How open they are, how trusting and how sacred that trust is. To learn from a child is a real eye-opener.ŌĆØ
And the lesson is to open our eyes and look at one another.

A teenager repeatedly posed as a paramedic by dressing up in a uniform before trying to treat random members of the public in the street.
Benjamin Jones, 19, pulled on green trousers, a utility belt and a T-shirt identifying himself as a medic before offering to tend to people's injuries.
A court heard he even made up a story that he had seen a baby die in his line of work in order to impress a woman.
Jones introduced himself as an undercover police officer before claiming he was a paramedic and offered her the use of an inhaler.
He then sent her text messages making up warped stories about trying and failing to save a baby's life, going on 999 calls and cleaning ambulances.
Today he escaped jail after a judge decided to give Jones a second chance.
On another occasion, the teen offered to treat a man who injured his leg after he fell in the street while they walked together.
Shrewsbury Crown Court heard he managed to convince several people he was a paramedic between January 17 and January 22 this year.
On Friday, Jones admitted three breaches of an anti-social behaviour order and was given a 12-month community order.
Judge Peter Barrie told him: "You gave a woman an inhaler.
"That was a seriously wrong thing to do because you do not have the medical knowledge as to whether that was a suitable inhaler for that young lady.
"And you had clothing which you used to deceive somebody into believing you were a paramedic."
The court heard the Asbo - imposed in October 2012 - had banned him from owning a paramedic uniform and telling people he was a medic.
Police visited Jones' home and found a medical T-shirt and a medical catalogue, both of which were banned under the terms of his Asbo after a string of similar impersonations.
The teen, from Church Stretton, Shrops, then spent eight-and-a-half months in Brinsford Young Offenders Institution in Wolverhampton because he could not get funding for psychiatric care.

What do you do when you're the queen of England and you're on your way to church in your green Jaguar station wagon and a couple of commoner parents pushing a stroller slows your roll? Well, for one thing you do whatever you want. And in this case whatever you want is testing your green Jaguar station wagon's off-road capabilities — which is precisely what Queen Elizabeth did over the weekend. Granted, off-roading meant driving over some lawn that could easily pass for the fairway of a golf course, likely the off-roading limit for a green Jaguar station wagon, in all fairness. Nevertheless, it happened and news photographers were on hand to catch the entire unexpected show of impatience, including the surprised looks on the faces of the young family the queen was circumventing. The real surprise here is that the queen doesn't have a personal driver. Who would've thought?

Indian soldiers clash with suspected rebels at Kashmir school
The government forces in India-held Kashmir were locked in an intense battle on Sunday with armed militants who took cover in a school after opening fire on a group of soldiers on the eve of Eid, police said.
The militants ambushed a police patrol, killing one trooper and injuring two others in a hail of bullets, before fleeing into the nearby school on the outskirts of Srinagar.
Indian soldiers surrounded the school on Saturday evening as the militants continued firing on troops surrounding the campus, said Muneer Ahmed Khan, inspector general of police in Kashmir.
"The operation is continuing. We are... searching floor by floor, and room by room. It will take time," he told AFP.
The battle comes as Kashmir prepares to celebrate Eid and the end of the Islamic fasting month, and just days after several bloody incidents in the restive region.
A policeman was beaten to death by an angry mob outside a mosque on Thursday, a week after suspected rebels ambushed a police patrol and killed six officers.
Violence between government forces and civilians has spiked in recent months in the disputed Muslim-majority region, where many oppose Indian rule.
The conflict has increasingly drawn in civilians, with whole communities sometimes coming out to throw stones at government forces as they fight militants.
On Saturday as troops battled the rebels, civilians rushed the scene chanting anti-Indian slogans and hurling rocks at the soldiers.
Authorities have barred people from coming within five kilometres of Saturday's shooting, and blocked the highway connecting the capital Srinagar with the restive Kashmir Valley to the south.
Officials say dozens of young men have joined rebel ranks since security forces killed a hugely popular rebel commander last July. It is expected violence could worsen around the anniversary of Burhan Wani's death.
Rights groups say 197 people have been killed so far this year in violent incidents, among them 55 civilians.
Kashmir has been divided between India and Pakistan since the end of British colonial rule in 1947 but both claim the territory in its entirety.
Rebel groups have fought for decades roughly 500,000 Indian soldiers deployed in the disputed territory, demanding independence or merger of the Himalayan region with Pakistan.
Tens of thousands, mostly civilians, have died in the fighting.
Five killed in gondola accident
Five people including two children were killed Sunday when a tree fell on a gondola at a ski resort in Indian-administered Kashmir, sending a passenger cabin crashing to the ground.
The gondola at Gulmarg is one of the world's highest, ferrying passengers to a height of 4,100 metres (13,450 feet) for panoramic views of the snow-clad Himalayas.
"Unfortunately one of the cabins fell after being hit by a tree. The dead included a couple, two children and a local guide," a local police officer told AFP on condition of anonymity.
"We are trying to get more information. All other tourists are safe." Gulmarg is the only ski resort in the restive Kashmir region, with tourists also visiting in the off-season for the views.
But visitor numbers have dipped in recent years amid unrest in the strife-torn region, with violence rising since the death of a popular militant leader last year.

Back in the late sixties to the seventies, before the advent of big prize money marathons and the World Championships, the Fukuoka marathon was called the 'unofficial world championships.' The unofficial title may be back this year, for both the gold and silver medallists from Edmonton will be running this prestigious marathon.
Already in Edmonton, both Abera, a gold medallist and Biwott, a silver medallist indicated their plan of running the Fukuoka Marathon in December. Fukuoka will be their third encounter. They also raced in the 1999 Worlds, where Biwott was ninth and Abera eleventh.
For Abera, this is his third Fukuoka Marathon. His first appearance in Fukuoka was in 1999, when his marathon personal best was only 2:13:59. Hence relatively unknown Abera was not an invited runner. But it was the first time we saw Abera's blazing kick; he outkicked Mohammed Ouaadi on the Heiwadai stadium track to win by one second in 2:07:54. Last year Abera was back to Fukuoka as an Olympic champion, however, because of a headache he was suffering from 37Km, he could not stay with Atsushi Fujita who went on to win in the Asian record time of 2:06:51. After Abera fared badly in the 2001 Boston marathon (2:17:04), some observers might have thought that his Olympic win was a fluke. It was not, as he has shown in Edmonton, thus becoming the first marathon man to win both the Olympics and Worlds.
His rival, Simon Biwott is no slouch either.
Before finishing second in Edmonton, Biwott won three successive marathons. He too has a fine kick as witnessed by his victories at the 2000 Berlin Marathon and the 2001 Paris Marathon, both of which he won the final sprint to the tape. Even in Edmonton, Biwott stayed close to Abera throughout the homestraight in the Commonwealth Stadium. However, Biwott must have known that he would have to run away from Abera before the final Km. His last chance may have been the final uphill leading up to the stadium.
Many Japanese distance fans await a marathon debut by Toshinari Takaoka with much anticipation, because he is the national record holder at the 3000m (7:41.87), 5000m (13:13.40) and 10,000m (27:35.09). Most of the Japanese distance runners move up to the marathon prematurely before fulfilling their potential on the track. A few days after failing to make the final of the 10000m in the 1996 Olympic Games, Takaoka too expressed his desire to move up to the marathon, saying "The Japanese can only be competitive in the marathon."
However, after a few month of discussion, his coach Kunimitsu Ito was able to convince Takaoka to fulfill his true potential on the track. Ito argued that Takaoka could not make the final of the Olympic Games, only because he was just coming back from an injury. Following the plan, in 1998, Takaoka improved his 5000m national record to 13:13.40. In 1999 he set a national 3000m record of 7:41.87. In 2000, Takaoka finished seventh at the 10,000m final as well as making the 5000m final in the Olympic Games. No other runners in Sydney Olympics made the final of both events.
In February of 2001, Takaoka who said, "After the Olympics, I have decided to run 30Km road race as a step toward the marathon," ran the Kumanichi 30Km, which he won in 1:29:23. After the race, Takaoka said, "Because I am thinking of running the marathon next year (2002), I wanted to experience the 30Km road race this year. I did OK, but I was hoping to break my coach's record (1:29:12 by Ito). I have not decided where I will make my marathon debut, and I am considering all marathons in February to April (of 2002)."
After the Kumanichi 30Km race, Takaoka set his sight on one goal that eluded him as a premier track runner in Japan, the national 10,000m record. In the Cardinal Invitational in May, Takaoka fulfilled this goal, when he ran 27:35.09 for the distance.
Immediately after his record performance, Takaoka said, "I will be running a marathon next year." He started training for the marathon after Edmonton. "I realize that the course in Fukuoka is flat and fast one, where many fast times were recorded. I decided to run Fukuoka marathon for two reasons: First, because it is an ideal race for a marathon debut, and second because my marathon training since September has gone well. I thought, since I am in great shape, why not now?" explained Takaoka.
Takaoka has a lofty goal for his marathon debut. When the Japanese marathon debut record of 2:08:53 by an Olympic marathon silver medallist Koichi Morishita was mentioned, Takaoka replied, "Although it obviously depends on race day conditions, I would like to keep pushing at 3 minutes per kilometer pace (which translates to 2:06:35 marathon). It's not certain, but I have heard that the pace makers will try to maintain such a pace. So I will try to stay with them as long as I can. It will be ideal if I can keep such a pace all the way to the finish." He knows that the marathon debut record is 2:06:54 by Ondoro Osoro in the 1998 Chicago Marathon.
As Takaoka prepares for his first marathon, naturally, his training has evolved. Actually his training started to change already during his preparation for the Kumanichi 30Km. Asked about his marathon training Takaoka explained, "For my marathon preparation, I have increased the amount of longer runs (in both distance & time based run). Although I don't count the miles, naturally, my total mileage has increased as well. Although I don't train on the track during marathon training, because my strength is my speed, I have not neglected my speed training either. I have practised running alone, as well as going out fast from the gun.
"As a competitor, of course, I would like to win all competitions. Although I would like to set records, my ultimate goal is to win a marathon gold in Athens, but for now, I will do my best on December 2, so you can write about me after the race," concluded Takaoka.
Finally, Atsushi Sato will be running his second marathon in Fukuoka. In his debut at the 2000 Lake Biwa Marathon, Sato broke the one-year-old national collegiate record of Atsushi Fujita with 2:09:50. Before Fujita, legendary Toshihiko Seko held the collegiate marathon record.
Much is expected of Sato's second marathon. After all both Seko and Fujita went on to set an Asian marathon record. On November 18, Chugoku Electric team won the Chugoku district Ekiden Championships by over five minutes. Sato who ran the 17.9Km sixth stage for Chugoku Electric covered the hilly course in 53:06, and was a minute 20 seconds ahead of the second place runner. Tatsuya Yamada who was at the ekiden reported that 2:09 marathon runner Noriaki Igarashi said, "Everyone in Chugoku Electric is running well now, but Sato is absolutely in awesome shape."

Rock magnetic records of the sediments of the eastern Arabian Sea: Evidence for the late Quaternary climatic change

Document Type:
Journal Article
Rock-magnetic measurements along with grain size, acid-insoluble residue (AIR), organic carbon (OC), CaCO sub(3) and delta sup(18)O of the planktonic foraminifers of the sediments were determined for 15 gravity cores recovered from the western continental margin of India. Magnetic susceptibility (MS) values in the surficial sediments reflect the land-derived input and, in general, are the highest in terrigenous sediment-dominated sections of the cores off Saurashtra-Ratnagiri, followed by the sediments off Indus-Gulf of Kachchh and then Mangalore-Cape Comorin. The down-core variations in mineral magnetic parameters reveal that the glacial sediments off the Indus are characterized by low MS values/S-ratios associated with high AIR-content, low OC/CaCO sub(3) contents and relatively high delta sup(18)O values, while those off SW India are characterized by low MS values/high S-ratio% associated with low AIR content, and relatively high OC, CaCO sub(3) and delta(18)O values. Conversely, the Early Holocene sediments of all cores are characterized by high MS values/S-ratio% associated with high AIR content, low OC, CaCO sub(3) contents and gradually decreased delta sup(18)O values. These results imply that during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), the cores off northwestern India received abundant continental supply leading to the predominance of eolian/fluvial sedimentation. In the SW region the influence of hinterland flux is less evident during this period, but convective mixing associated with the NE monsoon resulted in increased productivity. During the early Holocene intense SW monsoon conditions resulted in high precipitation on land, which in turn contributed increased AIR content/MS values in the continental margin sediments. A shallow water core off Kochi further suggests that the intense SW monsoon conditions prevailed until about 5 ka. The late Holocene organic-rich sediments of the SW margin of India were, however, subjected to early diagenesis at different intervals in the cores. Therefore, caution is needed when interpreting regional climatic change from down-core changes in sediment magnetic properties.

'That sounds too good to be true'
This is a statement we hear all the time when we start talking about eWater. We love hearing it, as it really hits home to us the impact eWater can make to our customers and in turn to their customers.
To be honest, once upon a time we thought the same thing, this must be too good to be true. The idea of producing cleaning and sanitising products from salt, water and electricity seems like a far-fetched idea, but in fact, it is a simple and highly effective technology that was discovered over 100 years ago.
Let's start by talking about Salt
Salt for over a millennium has been a valuable commodity that has been traded, used as a currency and most importantly for this conversation, has been used as an agent for preservation and medicine.
Preserving Food from Bacteria
Salt has been used as a preservative since ancient times to protect food against bacteria, mould, and spoiling. It does this by drawing water out of cells via the process of osmosis.
Organisms that decay food and cause disease are killed by a high concentration of salt. A concentration of 20% salt will kill bacteria. Lower concentrations inhibit microbial growth until you get down to the salinity of the cells, which may have the opposite and undesirable effect of providing ideal growing conditions.
This process acted as the most effective food preservation agent until refrigeration was invented in modern times.
5,000 years of Medicine
Salt has been an essential, virtually omnipresent, part of medicine for thousands of years. It has been used as a remedy, a support treatment, and a preventive measure. It has been taken internally or applied topically and been administered in an exceedingly wide variety of forms.
Today, salt is still heavily used in medicine for many different applications but is most widely used within saline solution for sanitising and hydration.
The process to make eWater
Harnessing the properties of salt and and water, eWater hygiene systems use electrolysis technology as the basis for creating a cleaning detergent and an anti-microbial sanitiser.
This is achieved by using electricity to induce a chemical reconfiguration of sodium chloride (salt) into an acidic sanitising solution and an alkaline cleaning solution. Our systems are configured to do this at an optimum pH range and deliver solution on-demand.
The Cleaner
During the electrolysis process, sodium hydroxide is created from the positive charge. This solution is a highly effective de-greasing cleaner, ideal for common cleaning applications including breaking down oils, proteins and bio-films.
The Sanitiser
From the negative charge, naturally forming hypochlorous acid is created. This acidic solution is a powerful anti-microbial sanitiser that is 80-100 times stronger than household bleach. It is scientifically proven to be highly effective at eliminating bacteria, viruses and other harmful microorganisms.
Efficacy of the solutions
The science and effectiveness of water electrolysis technology for cleaning and sanitising solutions are vast. Published studies have validated eWater (also known as EO in science) in many different areas including:
Removing pathogens and bacteria such as E Coli, Listeria, Salmonella, etc.
Removing pesticide residue from fresh food
Extending the shelf life of fresh produce
Highly effective de-greasing and mild stain removal
Why we love eWater
It is sustainable and natural
No toxic chemicals, no disposable packaging and no reliance on the chemical industry. The solutions are also most importantly bio-degradable meaning no nasty chemical residues are entering our wastewater system.
It is cheaper than packaged chemicals
eWater costs 80% less than packaged chemicals and by making both solutions on demand at the point of operation you don't need to order, ship and store what you need.
It is safer to use and promotes healthy work environments
eWater is a toxic free and safe product that can be used without PPE's, reducing the risk of chemical incidents in the workplace and ensuring you have a healthy work environment. This enables a wide variety of applications in a diverse range of industries that include food production, childcare, retail and animal husbandry.
Where is it used?
eWater is used by a wide range of companies in different industries around Australia, including –
Restaurants, bars and cafe's
Commercial Buildings
Convention Centres
Food Production facilities
Child Care
Aged Care

These days, organic SEO is all about creating the highest quality content that is actionable and informative around a specific topic. While your content will no doubt contain keywords referencing said topic in places like heading tags and body copy, search engines are well-versed at filling in gaps about content topics without needing to be bludgeoned by keywords. Keyword research can never—and should never—be used as a crutch for poor content quality. However, exercises like those described below, can play very important roles in helping you define and measure your content strategy as well as mapping your content topics to real users' needs. Words matter.
Conversion: This strategy is what most of us are after. We want our keywords to draw traffic to our website or landing page, and then we want that traffic to convert by making a purchase or otherwise doing something specific like filling out a contact form, picking up the phone, or downloading something. In this case, long-tail or more specific keywords will likely work best for you.
An important distinction to make before we begin is that a Competitor Analysis is not a Product Comparison. Although we may make mention of the types of products sold, we should not be including the detailed product features in a Competitor Analysis. Quite often, two seemingly distinct products can solve the same customer problem or satisfy a similar need. At its core, a Competitor Analysis is a document that evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of your rivals.
Limiting your organization to direct competitors only might lead you to a very narrow view of the market. This framework allows you to evaluate companies that aren't just your direct competitors but companies that could easily move into your turf. You want to consider companies that aren't currently in your category but could potentially leverage their product or technology in your space.
Without machine learning reducing the cost of PPC for small businesses, it's true that they typically aren't willing to spend the necessary budget to see results. Traditionally (are you sitting down?), —anything under $500 a month is not worth it. In fact (take a deep breath), you probably won't see great results with a budget of less than $1000 a month.
If you have a poor billing system or are constantly losing invoices and important documents, soon your clients will move on to greener pastures (and more organised businesses). If you implement a strategy to become more organised, you will find your customer service improving. This will lead not only to return clients but to new business, as word-of-mouth travels about your professionalism and efficiency.
Browse. Search the Internet for news, public relations, and other mentions of your competition. Search blogs and Twitter feeds as well as review and recommendation sites. While most of the information you find will be anecdotal and based on the opinion of just a few people, you may at least get a sense of how some consumers perceive your competition. Plus you may also get advance warning about expansion plans, new markets they intend to enter, or changes in management.
The first part of your competitive analysis only requires basic research. You'll just be looking up and making note of easy-to-find facts about your competitor's business. For this part, you'll need to have some idea about who your small business competitors are, where to find their website and social media pages, and perhaps have access to their offline marketing materials such as brochures, ads, and posters.
Once you have caught the attention of people with your ad and they click on it, you want to make sure that you direct them to a customized landing page that specifically relates to what they just clicked on. Many small businesses make the mistake of sending them to their website homepage, but this isn't the best tactic to convert visitors. Instead, you need to design landing pages that reflect the keywords from the PPC ad, show the product or service solution that your new visitors were searching Google for, and have a prominent, clear call to action like "Book Now" or "Buy Now".
You can search for these types of competitors online (by doing a simple web search), or you can directly ask your current and potential customers what they are using already. You can also look for your direct and indirect competitors on websites such as Crunchbase and Product Hunt, and you can search for them in the Google Play and the iOS App Store.
There are a variety of benefits to incorporating ad customizers into your PPC ads, such as the ability to create a sense of urgency in your target audience and drive clicks. But the biggest boost that ad customizers can provide is that they improve the relevance of your ads, thus improving your quality score. You can also adjust such ad elements as color, size, inventory and stock details, pricing, and seasonal sales to capture the eyes of potential customers.
Every business can benefit from attracting higher value customers. Whether you're a real estate company looking for high net worth individuals looking to buy property or a B2B SaaS company looking for a higher average revenue per user (ARPU), attracting customers who will pay you more than others is a powerful way to amplify the growth of your business.
Not every keyword is worth ranking for. This may seem obvious, but it's an important lesson for search marketers to learn. Often times we can get caught falling down the rabbit hole or chasing the long tail dragon to boost our rankings without thinking of the time and resources it takes to rank for these terms. Especially for highly competitive, high-volume keywords – it simply isn't worth the time and effort it might take to get onto page one.
The unique advantage of PPC marketing is that Google (and other ad networks) don't just reward the highest bidders for that ad space, they reward the highest-quality ads (meaning the ads that are most popular with users). Essentially, Google rewards good performance. The better your ads, the greater your click-through rates and the lower your costs.
The gap between your goal and your recent performance should guide how you choose from the menu of strategy options. If you have aggressive growth targets and are consistently meeting or exceeding your ROAS threshold, then you should primarily focus on growth initiatives, and sprinkle in a few efficiency optimizations to ensure that you're not wasting spend. If you are not achieving your ROAS goal, you'll want to focus primarily on efficiency optimizations. If you fall somewhere in the middle of these two scenarios, you should select an even mix of growth and efficiency efforts.
Create different ad groups. Each ad group consists of specific ads that share the same keyword. For example, if you're a SaaS company, it makes sense to have an ad group for each product category you serve. The SaaS SEO company, MOZ, might have ad groups for keyword research, link building, site audits and web page optimization. Each group consists of different ads for that category.
Tertiary Competition: This category includes businesses that are tangentially related to yours, and really comes in handy when you're looking to expand your product catalog. These could be related products and services that are trending, as well as businesses that may be beneficial to partner with further down the line. For instance, if you sell jewelry, a tertiary competitor may sell gems and stones.
The key to getting the most successful results from your PPC (pay-per-click) campaigns is developing a strategy that utilizes the many powerful tools at your disposal with Google Adwords. While boosting your clicks and conversions may at first seem like some sort of magical alchemy, there are actually tons of tangible ways to help drive traffic and increase sales. Best of all, Google is constantly adding new tools and refining older ones that you can add to your arsenal.
Another way to do this is to analyze the keywords that are driving traffic to your site and match the user intent to the right page of your site. In the figure below, you can see a typical buy cycle for a new searcher. They will start off using broad keywords to get a general idea of what content is out there. Searchers who use these broad terms would infer that they're in the information gathering stage of their search. So ask yourself, which page on your site is best suited to help them gather the information they're seeking? Do you have an article, how-to, or comparison page you can lead them to that helps them get the information they need?
Use voice search to your advantage by skewing your ad strategy toward answering questions customers need to know (intent), rather than just including keywords. Search engine AI for voice and mobile search is getting more sophisticated and better at serving results that meet the user's intent, therefore PPC best practices will be continually refined.
3. Video Ads Become More Practical: Video engages viewers extremely effectively, but advertisers have sometimes avoided it because of the perceived difficulty in making a video and the high cost of running video ads. Remember, video ads can be very short, from 15 -30 seconds, depending upon where you run them. To keep production costs down, there will be more and more free video tools provided by advertisers who want your business, for instance, Boomerang, free Instagram video ad creator. In 2018, consider YouTube, which offers a variety of video ad formats and, as part of the Google ecosystem, makes a great bet to place effective PPC ads. Consider Bing advertising, especially for higher-end products, since one-third or their traffic earns over $100k. Look at options to advertise with Yahoo/Verizon, Facebook/Instagram, Amazon (for product ads), LinkedIn video ads (for B2B) and more.
It doesn't take a marketing expert to know that marketing is a complex endeavor. With so many moving pieces, it can be hard to decide what you should focus on. What mediums do you prioritize? How do you narrow down your target audience? How do you rank better on search engines? Should you have a social media campaign? And if so, which social media platform should drive that campaign? And where in the world do you even begin to dig into this stuff?
How do current customers rate the following features of your business compared to your competition.Rate the following as: fair, good or excellent. Our Company / Competition ___________ /__________ Price ___________ /__________ Quality ___________ /__________ Durability ___________ /__________ Image/style ___________ /__________ Value ___________ /__________ Name Recognition ___________ /__________ Customer Service ___________ /__________ Customer Relations ___________ /__________ Location ___________ /__________ Convenience ___________ /__________ Other
7. Use a keyword research brief to share for unified messaging. The final tip is to attempt to break down the silos that are typical in medium to large organizations and share with them enough keyword data so they can be encouraged to use your targeted keywords in their respective messaging. One way to do this is to develop what I call a keyword research brief. This is simply a document that is like an executive summary of keyword research for your top keywords. This document should be no more than one to two pages. It should be a quick read. See an example of this below.
He goes on to share some examples: "Most commonly, I hear answers like the following: Our educational system is broken and urgently needs to be fixed; America is exceptional; there is no God. These are bad answers. The first and the second statements might be true, but many people already agree with them. The third statement simply takes one side in a familiar debate. A good answer takes the following form: 'Most people believe in x, but the truth is the opposite of x.'"
Privacy and security concerns are, by many accounts, the one thing holding location based services back from exploding. One of the first backlashes came from Nordstrom customers, when that retailer tracked customers through its physical locations for market research purposes. The word "creepy" was applied at the time, and it's still a word commonly found in discussions of how location-based marketing can tend to make people feel.
Location history of a consumer provides a lot of information specific to that person: where they like to shop, what they like to buy, how often they make the trip, and even how they get there. Obtaining this information gives great insight to marketers that enhances the ability to target consumers and deliver relevant, responsive location specific ads and information, even if the consumer is not currently in that area. <<<

As I have said before, I read an article by Alan Titchmarsh, that said if your leeks go to seed you can leave them as they are quite spectacular. He said to put them at the back of your borders. We decided to leave ours on the veg plot.
They are incredibly slow to flower and at the moment only two have opened. We were expecting a more spectacular flower head whereas they are like a larger version of wild garlic.
However as time has gone on we have decided that maybe he meant spectacular in a different way to what we were imagining. Maybe it's not about the flower head but about the height and the upright stance. The leeks now look like a dramatic, sentinel, row. The amazing thing about them is that although are very tall they are also very stiff and able to stay upright without any support. We are now seeing them in a different light and can see that they would indeed add drama to the back of a border.
Saturday was a really windy day with sunny spells, cloudy spells and sudden, huge, gusts. The leeks were able to withstand this whereas our prize allium snapped in the wind fairly close to the flower head.
I snipped it off and put in a single rose vase as it seemed such a shame to lose it when it was at it's best.
I am now thinking that the leeks and the alliums are both dramatic, just in different ways.

Home design is an important deciding factor when you are looking for a Tampa FL home to purchase. This is because, like fashion and career choices, the style of your home is a form of self-expression and most likely reflects your personality. In fact, results of a 2011 housing survey indicate that more than seven in ten homeowners see a relationship between their personalities and their home exteriors.
Intrigued? Read on to discover which architectural style home might be a good match for you
The Bungalow:
This small, single-story home is considered simple and easy to maintain. With styles ranging from the Craftsman to the California bungalow, owners who wish to live a carefree and easy lifestyle find these incredibly appealing. Bungalow owners are generally liberated in personality and eager to keep their expenses low and their lifestyle trouble-free.
The Cape Cod:
Typically a one-and-a-half story dormered home, the Cape Cod features side gables, a small overhang, and sloped roof. Such a residence has an owner who loves to relax and enjoy a structured Tampa FL home after a long and busy day. The Cape Cod owner is warm-hearted in nature and tries to create an atmosphere that's in communes with surrounding scenery.
The Colonial:
This home blends your appreciation of tradition and symmetry with your desire to be seen as a successful member of your community. The nuances of your strong personality are reflected in the particular style of colonial you are attracted to – from Georgian to Federal.
The Craftsman:
Just as the design of this house is simple and honest, so too is its owner. The incorporation of hand-crafted objects makes it both unique and artistically appealing. An owner living in a Craftsman is whimsical and deeply immersed in the small details of life, paying close attention to the quality rather than quantity of life.
The Contemporary:
You have a need to have contact with nature, right down to what materials are used in your Tampa FL home, and you value open spaces and clean lines. Transparency and openness are important concepts in contemporary design
The Victorian:
A person with a Victorian home style is often considered extravagant in personality. The building and all its applications tell a story of the owner's sentimental personality. Victorian designs are beautiful and tend to create fantasy and dreams around them.
Understanding your personality type and the style of home that makes you happy may just make your buying experience easier and your life in your Tampa FL home much more enjoyable!

Ministries of Education, labour and employment have turned deaf hears to our strike letters – ASUU
The Academic Staff Union of Universities has said that the letters of notification of strike action, which it wrote to the Ministries of Education and Labour and Employment, have not been replied by either ministry since Monday, November 5, when it resumed its strike.
The ASUU President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, disclosed this while speaking with newsmen, saying that the union believed that while the Federal Government "was still warming up as usual," the ruling class did not want quality education for the children of the poor.
He said, "We wrote to inform the two ministries that we had resumed our strike. We also told them we suspended the strike initially in September 2017 and we decided to resume it because the Federal Government failed to implement the key areas in the Memorandum of Action that we both signed.
"We wrote to the ministries of education and labour and employment. They signed the copies we gave them, but they have not written to say that they saw our letters.
"The logic is clear to us in ASUU. The political class in Nigeria has strangled primary and secondary education in Nigeria. For example, as many as 24 states have failed to access the Universal Basic Education Commission funds for 2018. That has left UBEC with over N60bn that states failed to access.
"In the last two years, the government has been giving seven per cent to education in the budget. Suddenly this year, they woke up and said they would declare a state of emergency in the education sector and give 15 per cent. Who are they deceiving? This is an election season and anybody can promise anything.
"So what our union has concluded is that the ruling class in Nigeria – not only about this government but consistently over the years – they don't care about the education of the poor."

There are tens of thousands of long-distance moves that take place each year. Many of them have differing origins and destinations, like someone moving from Cleveland to Detroit; different reasons for moving, like starting a new job or the first semester at college; and then there are all the different types of moves, like commercial relocations, senior citizen moves and specialty moving services.
What almost all of these long-distance moves have in common is that they involve moving from state-to-state, with the exception of long distance moves that occur within some of the larger states like Texas and California. When moving companies examine these overall interstate moving trends, they can often get insights into peoples moving habits that they can use to create a better long distance moving experience with their customers.
Doing this requires a large amount of data, for this study that data comes from the American Moving and Storage Association (AMSA) and tracks over 150,000 long-distance moves across the country. We were able to show, state by state, how many people moved, how far they traveled during their move and how much stuff they brought along for the ride. The data is interesting and can give you an idea of what the moving trends are like in your neck of the woods. Click anywhere on the map above to find out more.
*Due to the nature of the study covering distance driven for state-to-state relocations, data for Hawaii is not available.
What We Learned
1,106 miles
Average distance traveled for long-distance relocations
39,466 moves
Total in the Western region, the most in the U.S.
16,864 in vs. 24,665 out
The Great Lakes had the most outbound shipments v. inbound
States with balanced numbers of people moving in v. moving out
Long Distance Moving Help in Metro Detroit
If you've got a long-distance move coming up, it's vital that you choose the right long distance moving company to help get you through it. How do you know if the company you're thinking of hiring is any good? Easy, take a look at a blog we wrote a while back about how to find the right moving company in Detroit.
In short, you want to look for a full service moving company that is honest, trustworthy and reliable. Keep an eye out on our blog for more helpful moving tips and for the next Long Distance Moving study in 2019.

Many will see in the Middle East situation today a fulfillment of the prophetic.
Indeed, the region appears to be on the brink of the kind of "end times" war described in several books of the Bible.
For the past couple of years already, Israel and Iranian forces entrenched in neighboring Syria have been playing a game of tit-for-tat.
But that can only last so long, and Israel's top military and political leaders are warning that a major war, perhaps THE major war, could break out at any moment.
Some argue that it already has.
Noted Israeli columnist Ruthie Blum wrote:
"It would be a grave mistake to dismiss [Iran's] saber-rattling, given the Iranian regime's stated intention and increasingly overt attempts to annihilate Israel, even at its own potential peril. Rather than looking the other way, at best—or, worse, condemning Israel at international forums—the world should be thanking the Jewish state for doing its dirty work. The inevitable war against Iran should have been fought by America decades ago. Today, it is up to the IDF."
Indeed, many are now convinced that recent attacks by Iran and its proxies are the opening shots in a war that could transform the Middle East, and possibly the world.
