You can edit this data by logging into your account.
- Having dealers answer your enquiries: If you indicate that you are interested in one of the vehicles that a dealer has advertised on cinch, then you may call them using the phone numbers provided or email them directly through the site. You may also ask for a callback, or to be contacted by email or text message: we'll need to provide the dealer with your relevant details, so that they can do this. Please note we'll record calls and keep records of them and the contents of emails in order to ensure that your enquiries are properly dealt with, that our billing is correct, and to improve our services.
- Providing customer service: If you contact us with a query or complaint, then we will collect and process your details and keep records of our interactions with you (e.g. calls, emails, chat sessions, letters), as needed to investigate and provide you an answer.
- Running promotions, contests or prize draws: If we run a promotion, contest, or prize draw then we will collect and process your details in order to manage your entry. We may at the same time give you the opportunity of signing up for an account or newsletter but will only use your data for that purpose if you accept.
- Sending newsletters/offers: If you subscribe to newsletters or other offers or information from us then we'll use your data to tailor and send these to you, until you change or cancel your subscription or contact preferences.
Our legal basis for all the above is your consent. We want you to provide your data in full knowledge of what we will use it for, where it will go, and your rights as set out in this Notice. Where you've given your consent, you can change your mind at any time by contacting us (although any processing of the data that took place before you do so will still be legal). If you provide personal information about others (e.g. people who live with you) then you should make sure that you have their consent too.

- Quality control: We will keep a record of all calls (or other requests you make for contact from a dealer) so we can follow up and check that you got good service, investigate any issues, and ensure that our bills to dealers for our services are correct.
- Improving cinch: We'll analyse which pages or parts of the website get the most views or attention, and where our users come from, so that we can improve. This may include collecting details about your device and network, such as browser version, IP addresses, operating system details, and screen size. This may also involve the use of cookies or similar technologies as explained in our Cookies Policy at the end of this Notice.
Our legal basis for these data uses is that they are necessary for our legitimate interests in ensuring that cinch users get good service, understanding how people use cinch, and improving it for the future. We don't use this data to contact you or market anything to you. It's used securely, and not in any intrusive way. There is no negative impact on your privacy or rights and so we have concluded that we are able to process this data to support our legitimate interests.
"Special categories of data": Under data protection laws, personal data concerning health is a "special category" of data that is subject to additional protections. This type of data may be very helpful with searches, as noted above, to help you find vehicles that suit the needs of anyone with a disability, e.g. if you needed access or storage for a wheelchair, or a vehicle adapted with hand controls. We only process this type of data with your explicit consent.
cinch does not intend to collect or process any other special categories of personal data e.g. those revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, certain genetic data or biometric data, or data concerning a person's sex life or sexual orientation. However, if you add any such details to your profile or communications on cinch, then you are consenting to using that data for those purposes.
3. How long does cinch keep your data for?
cinch doesn't keep your personal data for any longer than necessary. If you have signed up for an account with cinch, then you will be able to access it and we will keep your personal data within it until you change it or cancel your account.
If you make an enquiry in relation to a vehicle, then we will keep data relating to that enquiry for as long as necessary to send invoices to our dealers, understand whether your contacts with dealers were satisfactory, and resolve any outstanding questions.
If we need to keep your data longer for tax, accounting, reporting or legal reasons then we will use it only for those purposes and for a period that is reasonably necessary to comply with the laws and policies that apply to us and to be in a position to deal with any legal claims.
After these periods we anonymise data (so it does not contain any personal information and cannot be traced back to you) but will keep and use it for research or statistical purposes and improving our website and services.
4. Does cinch provide your personal data to any third parties?
If you indicate that you are interested in a vehicle advertised on cinch, then depending on the contact method you choose, we may provide your contact details and other relevant details relating to your vehicle search and account to the relevant dealer so that they can respond to your enquiry and understand your needs.
From time to time we may provide additional services on our website. So for example, if we offered a servicing or valeting option, and you indicated you were interested then, again depending on the contact method you choose, we would need to provide your contact details to the service provider.
cinch also works with other organisations that provide services such as IT and data processing or other professional advisors. These include:
- providers of IT-related services (e.g. data storage, website development, hosting, management, or maintenance);
- other data processing companies that provide us with services such as call and email tracking and recording, management of PR and customer communications, sending emails or texts, or processing of information or newsletters;
- companies in our group that provide us with additional technical infrastructure or services;
- data analysis providers (e.g. measuring which webpages or advertisements are of most interest); or
- accounting, legal, insurance or banking service providers.
These organisations process personal data on our behalf, but our contracts with them oblige them to meet data protection standards as strict as the ones that apply to us, and not to use your data for any other purpose.
Where these are not based in the UK, the EU, or other countries that are officially regarded as having adequate data protection laws, then this will be done only on the basis of legal safeguards aimed at ensuring that your data is kept as secure as under applicable UK and international laws. These may include the European Commission's standard contractual clauses for data exports, or the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield. A copy of such safeguards may be available from us if we receive a valid request.
Other circumstances where cinch may need to disclose your personal data to third parties could be (i) where required by law, stock exchange rules, or any governmental authority, police force, court or regulator; or (ii) in connection with a sale or merger of our business or company.
5. What about other websites?
cinch's aim is to become a point of support in all phases of changing or managing your vehicle and so we will often provide links to other websites offering relevant services or information.
For example, in order to obtain a valuation of your vehicle, and commence a possible sales process you may be directed to webuyanycar.com. From time to time we may also provide links relating to other services that are relevant to changing and managing your vehicle.
If you visit these sites, you should review their privacy notices, cookies policies, and terms of use, as cinch doesn't control the ways they collect or use personal data, which may be different from ours as explained here.
6. What are your rights in relation to your personal data?
cinch is committed to ensuring that you can easily exercise your legal rights over your personal data under UK and international laws that apply to us.
For example, you are entitled to ask at any time:
(a) for access to a copy of the personal data that cinch holds about you;
(b) to have any incorrect personal data about you corrected;
(c) for data about you to be erased (also referred to as the "right to be forgotten") or if that is not possible (e.g. because the law requires us to keep data for longer) to have processing restricted:
(d) to object to particular processing (e.g. for marketing purposes);
(e) to receive an electronic copy of data you provided to us, for provision to a different service provider (also referred to as "data portability").
You are also able to withdraw any consent given in the past.
If you receive any marketing information from cinch and wish not to receive such information in future please email us at email@example.com. You will also have the opportunity to opt out of future communications whenever cinch sends you any such material.
cinch can always be contacted at the addresses in Section 1 to resolve any issues or doubts you may have in relation to processing of your data, or exercising your legal rights. If you believe that your rights have not been respected then you are also entitled to complain to the UK Information Commissioner (www.ico.org.uk) (or outside the UK, the Supervisory Authority in your country) to ask them for a decision.
7. Do you have to provide your personal data to cinch?
cinch is free to use and you aren't required to sign up for an account or enter any other data if you don't want to.
We do use cookies to make certain parts of the website work – please see our Cookies Policy at the end of this Notice.
8. cinch business contacts
cinch will also need to process your personal data if we have or are considering a business relationship with you, for the following purposes:
As this data always relates to your professional life (work email, work telephone, information about contracts etc.) and/or is obtained from sources where it is voluntarily offered (e.g. websites, trade shows, or professional networking) there will be no negative impact on your privacy or rights, and our use is within what a professional data subject would reasonably expect.
Although applicable laws do not require us to obtain your consent for such data processing, you may still be entitled to exercise your legal rights where applicable (see Section 6 above).
We regularly review and update the need for retaining such data and will normally delete such data after six years from the end of any contractual relationship, unless we are required to retain it for compliance purposes or to resolve any legal issues.

PMS should stand for "Pardon My Scowl"
Affectionately termed "crazy day" by an ex, there was one day each month that I would turn into an uber sensitive, irrational, crazy person. Irritable, angry, sad – often all at the same time. The real crazy part was that I didn't even know that I was acting crazy until the fog had cleared. Holler if you hear me, ladies!
PMS or premenstrual syndrome, describes a variety of symptoms occurring during the second half of the menstrual cycle, relieved by day 2 of menstruation. Most common symptoms include anxiety, depression, bloating, breast pain, headaches and fatigue….but there have been more than 150 symptoms associated with PMS!
4 main TYPES of PMS
|Characterized by…
|Carb Cravings
|Water retention
What is associated with having PMS?
Well the good news is this: Naturopathic Doctors are EXCELLENT at treating PMS (and many other female conditions, I may add). But here's a bit about what I did to cure my PMS.
If you're not quite ready to make these lifestyle changes, just try to warn your significant other or loved ones and take a personal day. In certain cultures, this time is celebrated instead of suppressed. "Moontime" is considered a time to honour a woman and her fertility. A time of creativity and renewed energy. A time to rest, be still with your thoughts, nourish yourself. So don't be afraid to give your body what it needs.
Yours in health,

PETALING JAYA: A so-called "teh tarik" session featuring four crown princes has created a minor royal storm in a teacup, with the Selangor royal press office issuing a denial about any such thing.
A poster of the purported event was circulated yesterday, featuring images of the crown princes of Johor, Pahang and Selangor.
Questions were raised about whether it was fake, while some claimed it was an Umno event.
Umno Supreme Council member Lokman Noor Adam, was among those who shared the poster. He said in a broadcast text message that he would be attending, and would also be at a "mega rally" against the Rome Statute on Saturday.
On the poster were images of the Raja Muda of Selangor, Tengku Amir Shah Sultan Sharafuddin; the Tengku Mahkota of Pahang, Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim; and the Tunku Mahkota of Johor, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim.
The fourth prince was not featured, but the poster carried a teaser stating that those who wanted to know the identity of the fourth prince could find out by attending the event, supposedly to be held at 5.30pm tomorrow at Makhota Parade, Melaka.
Shortly afterwards, Lokman broadcast another text message, saying the event may not happen, and that he had come to know that the four princes were getting "all sorts of calls".
It was possible that the palaces were upset in being linked with a rally against the Rome Statute, after tension arose between Putrajaya and royalty, causing the federal government to withdraw ratification of the treaty.
Earlier today, the Selangor Raja Muda's office denied that Tengku Amir was part of the event and said his photographs had been used without the consent of the palace.
Tengku Amir's private secretary, Saidatul Asyikin Muhammad Johar, urged the rakyat not to be easily influenced by false information. An image of the poster, with the word "palsu" (fake) across it, was posted on the Selangor Royal Office social media pages.
So far it is not known who was behind the purported tea party. Other media reports have alluded it to being an initiative by the princes themselves.
As of press time, Tunku Ismail has not responded to the matter, while Tengku Hassanal of Pahang is reported to have said he is not involved, according to a site called twentytwo13.com.
Johor's Tunku Ismail has been vocal about the Rome Statute and has also been engaged in a war of words with Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who has had an icy relationship with the Johor royal house for decades.

What is Breast Augmentation
Breast Enhancement or Augmentation Mammaplasty is one of the most popular surgical procedures requested by women of all ages. It involves the placement of an implant behind the breast tissue of each breast or the underlying chest wall muscle. Breast augmentation gives patients a larger, fuller figure that they desire.
Effects of Breast Augmentation
Breast Augmentation produces pleasing and satisfying results through enhancing the size and shape of breasts that women wish to have. It gives women a more flattering bust line, improving their appearance and boosting their self-confidence with regards to their figure.
Those who would benefit the most in this procedure are women with realistic expectations of improvement, not perfection, in the way they look.
Candidates for Breast Augmentation
Each person has her own opinion on what is beautiful in a breast. Normal breast size, for some, might not be enough, and this procedure offers the change that you might want. It is solely your choice to undergo this procedure, and the doctor will be happy to discuss the change in the size and shape of your breasts.
Women who are good candidates for Breast Augmentation have at least one of following characteristics:
You think your breasts are too small or underdeveloped.
The upper parts of your breasts seem empty.
Your breasts do not have the same size or shape.
One or both breasts failed to develop normally or have an unnatural shape.
You previously had breast implants and are having problems with them.
Your breasts have lost volume due to pregnancy, weight loss or aging.
For breast reconstruction following mastectomy for breast cancer.
Breast augmentation has been performed since 1962 to over three million women. The surgical techniques and breast implants have been continuously refined throughout the years, increasing the safety and reliability of the procedure.
Your Consultation
Prior to your breast surgery, your board-certified surgeon will carefully evaluate your general health status and any pre-existing health conditions that could compromise the outcome of surgery or risk your health. Also, your surgeon will get detailed measurements of your breasts and the quality and quantity of your existing breast tissue to determine the proper choice of breast implant and technique.
The surgeon may also suggest a breast lift, or Mastopexy, in addition to breast augmentation in situations where there is excessive laxity or drooping of the breasts. If this is the case, breast augmentation alone would be insufficient to solve and correct this condition.
A mammogram six months before surgery is required, and photos of your breasts will be taken before and after surgery.
The Breast Augmentation Procedure
Breast augmentation is done on an outpatient basis in an ambulatory surgery center, usually under general anesthesia.
There are several options for the type of incision used dependent on your indvidual breast anatomy and the type and size of implant that will be used. Not all options are available to every patient. The implant type, pocket placement and incision approach all have relative advantages and disadvantages.
The following are the different type of incisions:
Incision is made in the fold under the breast.
Incision is made around the nipple.
Trans-axillary with endoscopic assist
Incision is made under the arm.
All incisions are kept short and inconspicuous. Your surgeon will choose the surgical technique as well as the size and type of implant that will produce the result each individual desires.
Implants can be inserted either under the breast tissue (sub-glandular) or partially under the pectoral muscle (sub-pectoral or sub-muscular). When implants are placed in a sub-muscular position (under the breast tissue and the pectoral muscle), there is less chance of capsular contracture, which is the shrinkage of the tissue capsule surrounding the implant that causes both implant and breast to feel unnaturally firm. Placing implants in a sub-glandular position (directly under the breast tissue) may be advisable in some cases, depending on the thickness and laxity of the breast tissue, and also the ability of the breast tissue to decently cover the implant.
Once the desired pocket has been created, a temporary implant is placed to determine the proper shape and size of the final implant. In this stage, the surgeon will evaluate your pre-operative photos and your desired results based on your previous discussions with the surgeon, as well as the photos you may have shown for comparison. The final implant is then chosen, inserted, and properly positioned within the pocket, and checked to insure that your breasts have the shape and size you expected before surgery. However, there can be no guarantee as to the final cup size of your breasts after the operation.
A local, long-acting anesthetic will be used in the space around the implants to insure minimal pain or discomfort when you wake from surgery. Incisions are carefully closed with multiple layers of hidden sutures and surgical tape. However, in the case of revision surgery on the breast for encapsulation or other problems, drains are never placed. You will then be placed in a soft surgical bra with a supportive wrapping around the chest. You will wake up in the recovery room with minimal pain, or mild to moderate muscular soreness that is similar to a strenuous workout, after the implants have been placed partially behind the muscle.
The surgeon will help you in deciding which incision, pocket placement, and type of implant you should have to get your desired results. They will utilize the most advanced techniques in order to minimize your risks, optimize your results, and return you to your normal, unrestricted activities as quickly and comfortably as possible.
Make sure someone is able to assist and drive you home and be available to care for you continuously for the first 24 hours. Since no drains are required except in the case of re-operative breast implant surgery, our patients are allowed to shower the day after surgery. Some pain or discomfort might be experienced the first day or two which is easily controlled with analgesic medications. But there should be minimal bruising. Also, tightness in the breast area is normal as your body adjusts to the implants. There can be more discomfort and spasms when the implants are placed below the pectoral muscle. If this occurs, your surgeon may prescribe a muscle relaxant to control the spasms.
Patients should be able to return to normal daily activities like washing and driving about 2 to 4 days after the surgery. In the first 2 weeks after the procedure, a bra should be worn at all times, except when showering. Moderate exercises like walking are allowed after the first week, while vigorous exercises like jogging and aerobics can be resumed in 3 to 4 weeks' time. Patients should avoid heavy lifting, bathing, or swimming for the next 2 to 3 weeks. You may return to work in a day or two, but do avoid any strenuous activities.
Your breasts may be appear somewhat swollen after surgery, but within a few weeks, the actual shape and size of your breasts will be apparent so you can begin to wear bras and clothes that you prefer.
Your surgeon suggests for you to get breast examinations at no cost from our office every 6 to 12 months. Continue breast self-examinations monthly, and have mammograms as recommended by your gynecologist or personal physician, generally yearly after age 40. We do request that you forward copies of all your mammography results to our office.
Every operation has potential complications, like adverse reactions to anesthesia, bleeding, infection, poor healing of the surgical scar and pain. Post-operative bleeding or formation of a seroma (a collection of the watery portion of the blood around the implant) may require re-operation and drainage, and may be associated with an increased incidence of infection or capsular contracture.
Although rare, infection of a breast implant may occur that will require the removal of the implant for up to several months until the infection is completely cleared, and only then can the implant be re-inserted. The formation of a fibrous tissue capsule around a breast implant after surgery is a body's normal response to the placement of a foreign object in the soft tissue.
Capsular contracture is a process of gradual but aggressive shrinkage of this tissue capsule surrounding the implant. This causes the breast and implant to feel unnaturally firm and often times painful. Capsular contracture is usually progressive, worsening with time, over the course of several months to years. This situation may result in asymmetry of the breasts. The occurrence or severity of this condition varies with each individual. There is no reliable data as to how often it occurs. Asymmetry may also occur as a result of unexpected problems with early healing after implant placement.
When the saline solution of a saline breast implant leaks either through the valve or through a puncture or defect of the outer shell of the implant, it would cause deflation and would require surgical replacement. Most implants are covered by a manufacturer's warranty against deflation.
Patients are reminded that sensory changes may occur in the nipples or outer breasts. Also, patients with a very small volume of breast tissue or thin skin before surgery may notice visible wrinkling or rippling of the implants, especially saline, and more commonly when larger size implants are chosen. Another reminder is that there may be delayed wound healing for patients with diabetes, a history of radiation, autoimmune disease, or smokers. Surgical scars may be unsightly. In order to avoid these problems, a thorough medical evaluation should be done before the surgery.
Studies show that breast implants should not affect fertility, pregnancy, or a woman's future ability to nurse. It is a fact that not all women may be able to breastfeed even without the implants. If the peri-areolar (nipple) incision is used for the procedure, there may be a greater risk of scarring within the breast or alteration in the ability to breastfeed as compared to the axillary (under-arm) or inframammary (breast fold) incisions, but there is no evidence gathered for it to be scientifically proven.
Breast augmentation may not be a one-time surgery. It is very likely that additional surgeries and doctor visits will be necessary over the course of your lifetime to maintain the appearance of your breasts after the procedure. This might be because of problems related to the implants themselves, like deflation, capsular contracture, or rupture, or because of aging changes, like pregnancies, weight gain, and loss of breast tissue, that affect the appearance of the breasts over time.
Health insurance does not cover breast augmentation, except in rare cases of congenital deformity or some types of reconstruction. Insurance may not also cover re-operation or additional future surgeries or additional doctor visits if complications arise.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much increase in cup size can I expect?
A: The size of your breasts after breast augmentation will depend on the implant used and the ability of your breast tissues and chest wall muscles to expand with the implant. In general, women with relatively large breasts can go larger than women who have very little breast tissue to begin with, and petite women cannot go as large as women with a larger physique. There is no guarantee as to the final cup size.
Q: Are silicone breast implants dangerous?
A: To date, silicone breast implants have been shown to be safe devices that do not pose any greater risk of causing disease than saline implants. If there is evidence showing that silicone breast implants could lead to systemic disease, your surgeon would never use them. We do not hesitate to recommend silicone breast implants to a patient if the circumstances dictate that this would be the best choice of implant.
Q: When will the sutures be removed?
A: Sutures will be removed after a week to 10 days.
Q: Do I need to massage my breasts and for how long?
A: We will give you detailed instructions if massage is required after the surgery. Smooth implants, whether saline or silicone, above or below the muscle, must be massaged immediately after surgery to maintain the softness of the breasts. Maintaining a large space around these implants prevents or delays the encapsulation process. Textured implants do not require massage.
Q: When can I bathe?
A: You may shower 24 hours after surgery. Do not immerse your breasts under water or take baths in the tub, pool or ocean until 3 weeks after surgery.
Q: When can I resume exercise?
A: You may walk or ride a stationary bicycle within two days. No strenuous upper-body exercises for two to three weeks following surgery. Avoid any activity that may cause any discomfort.
Q: When can I wear my preferred bras or clothes?
A: The swelling will settle in two to four weeks. The breasts are not likely to change much in size at that time, but may continue to soften and improve in shape. You can now wear your bras and preferred clothes at this point. You should wear the post-surgical bra given by our office for the first two weeks at least.
Q: Will I need additional operations on my breasts in the future?
A: It is likely that you will need future surgeries on your breasts in order to maintain their appearance.
Q: How long will my implants last?
A: Most implants last for 10 to 15 years. Any type of breast implant is subject to wear and tear and deterioration due to aging over time. Like a heart valve or artificial joint replacement, they are not to be expected to last forever. The implants are covered by a manufacturer's warranty against manufacturing defects, and most companies provide financial assistance for re-operation and implant replacement at no charge in the event of implant failure. However, you may incur other financial costs which are not covered.

CAMPSITE: I have rented 3 campsites for up to 8 people each in the primitive hike in area. Campsites are first come, first served, so I will do my best to get sites close to each other by arriving early. Note that the campsites are all along different parts of the Denio Creek Warbler, Cedar Ridge, and Cedar Brake trails and are not within eyesight of each other, but they are only about a quarter mile between each site. In case of emergency, we should be able to reach each other quickly. The sites are also fairly large, so we might be able to get away with using only two sites. There is no water at the campsite, so we are responsible for packing in any water we will need. In addition, there are no restrooms, so plan on packing in/ out any toilet paper/ waste. Furthermore, no campfires are allowed. Please plan your cook system accordingly.
SECURING YOUR SPOT: reserve your ticket through Eventbrite at https://gwhtx-dinosaurvalley-backpacking.eventbrite.com/ The password is GWHTX. Tickets will be available at 8PM CST one month prior to the meetup (May 9). RSVPing on Facebook does not guarantee you a spot! You MUST have an Eventbrite ticket reserved for headcount purposes (since we have a maximum of 24 people on the campsites!)
COST: The cost for this meetup is $2 per person. This will cover the campground fees. After you have reserved your ticket through Eventbrite, please Venmo (HesterLam), Paypal friends and family (firstname.lastname@example.com), or Apple Pay (865-437-7828 please do not spam me) Hester Lam within 48 hours. If payment is not given at this time, your reserved spot may move to the next person on the waitlist.
ADDITIONAL COSTS: There is an excess vehicle fee charged by the park for additional vehicles at each site (not sure what the fee is as the website does not say. I will call and check prior to the event. If this is an issue, we can work this out). The first five vehicles will have free parking at the campsite; carpooling is strongly recommended (please split gas costs with the driver accordingly!). In addition, the park charges a $7 daily visitation fee. If you/ someone in your carpool has a Texas Parks & Wildlife State Park Pass, this is waived. Again, carpooling is highly encouraged – save the environment, save money.
CHECK IN: All campers MUST check in with the park headquarters when they arrive. The reservation is under Hester Lam. You may have to pay the excess vehicle fee at this time, if you are one of the latter cars. You will also pay the $7 daily visitation fee at this time. Make sure the parking pass the rangers give you is visible on your dashboard when you park!
FOOD: You are responsible for your own food. Again, campfires are prohibited at our campsite so make sure the food you have can be cooked with a cooking system (e.g. whisperlite, jetboil) that is allowed. Please plan accordingly. Alcohol is strictly prohibited at all Texas State Parks. Please do not bring any. If you have severe food allergies, please let us all know so that we can avoid bringing them.
CLOTHING: There will be at least one river crossing per day. Plan to bring waterproof boots/ shoes for crossing and a pair of extra socks in case of getting wet. Wet feet = higher likelihood of blisters. You WILL be miserable if you only have wet socks the remainder of the trip and/ or blisters!
Saturday June 9: We will meet at the gift shop parking lot at 10 AM SHARP. We will be taking the Blue Hole Trail (.41 miles) to the Cedar Brake Outer Loop (~4.43 miles) and however long to the campground area (up to .59 miles additional). We will get our camps set up and hang out for the remainder of the day. Total elevation gain should be about 400 feet, based on the topographic map. Trekking poles are recommended for some sections of the hike. I will post a picture in the event comments of the path planned (drawn in purple).
Sunday June 10: After we get up and ready for the day, we will pack up and head out of camp. We will for from the campsites (which may be up to an additional .67 miles) to the Denio Creek Trail (.46 miles) to the Black- capped Vireo trail (2.0 miles) to the Overlook Trail (.47 miles) to the Paluxy River Trail (~.64 mile). This should be mostly downhill, and quite beautiful. If everyone is feeling extremely tired, we can exit from the campsites (depending on where campsite is, up to 1.03 miles away from furthest site) via the Denio Creek Trail (.46) or the Cedar Ridge Trail (.8 miles), depending on where we camp, to the Cedar Brake Outer Loop (.44 miles) to the Limestone Ledge Trail (.45 miles) to the Paluxy River Trail (.24 miles) to the Blue Hole Trail (.41 miles). These trails (with the exception of Cedar Ridge) are rated easy and almost completely flat. Refer to the picture in the event comments of the path planned (drawn in blue) and the backup plan (drawn in green).
- Cell service is unpredictable. Per the rangers, only Verizon has service here. AT&T has a little bit of service at some points from personal experience, but do not rely on your phone for navigation.
- This park has one of the comparatively larger gift shops, and you can take some selfies with the giant (fake) dinosaurs, if that's your sort of thing.
- Fossil Rim Wildlife Center is super close, and is kinda fun if you are into endangered/ threatened wildlife. I will not be going personally, but more information can be found here if you are interested: https://fossilrim.org/plan-a-visit/
***In order to attend an official meetup, you MUST have a signed Liability Waiver on file. Please see the Group Rules for details/link to sign. It takes 60 seconds to complete and one waiver clears you for all meetups!***

Tajdeed e wafa Ep 6: Complications in father son relationship
Directed by: Ilyas Kashmiri
Written by: Sameera Fazal
Production house: MD productions
This episode was light and entertaining showing Arsal (Ahmed Ali) and Hareem's (Ainy Jaffery) engagement preparations with cute little scenes between Arsal's father (Abid Ali) and Hareem. He is totally acting opposite to his nature and the whole family is in a shock and just unable to understand why he is behaving differently. On the other hand, it also showed that Ashar (Haroon Shahid) and Neha (Naveen Waqar) seem to be a perfect couple but in reality, they have so many conflicts which also have the negative impact on their children.
Hareem's mother, Sheema (Laila Zubairi) is so insecure that her daughter is going to ruin her life because she is following her grandmother and taunts Jamal (Hamayon Gul) that this was the reason she never wanted his mother to live with them. The episode ends on a very tense scene where Arsal's mother suggests his dad apologize Arsal for Arsal's ignorant childhood and for his self-indulgent behavior but he reacts furiously upon it and it turns out to be a fight.
Tajdeed e Wafa is a story of family values, its importance and the effect of their negligence showcasing a relationship of a married couple and how it is impacting their children. Moreover, it highlights the generation gap and the loopholes in parent and children's relationship.
This serial is directed by Ilyas Kashmiri and has a powerful screenplay and a unique storyline. The outdoor locations in the serial are so beautifully picturized. Every single detail is taken care of, from the houses to the makeover of the characters. Each actor in the serial is successfully delivering his/her role. Haroon Shahid and Naveen Waqar are too good as a modern young married couple.
Ahmed Ali is giving a fine performance as well. Ainy Jaffery is a total delight on the screen; her character is so calm and refreshing that it actually makes the audience feel good. Senior actors like Abid Ali and Laila Zubairi also proved to be a nice addition to this serial.
For the upcoming episodes, we are expecting some light-hearted and entertaining events with a little twist in the story to keep us enthralled.
This serial is totally winning the hearts of the audience by its amazing story, nice direction, impactful dialogues, and a super talented star cast.

In This Together
This month on SchoolTV - Sleep
Students today have extremely busy schedules, with ever increasing responsibilities at school and at home. Many kids, especially adolescents, are going to bed later and later and are at risk of sleep deprivation. This affects three areas of a child's development: psychological, physiological and psychosocial. All three are essential to a child's growth, learning ability and overall wellbeing. Sleep is vital to a child's overall health and is as important as diet and exercise.
Sleep also strengthens a child's immune system and supports their ability to function properly on a daily basis. Children who do not get enough sleep show increased levels of aggressive behaviour, are less attentive and are much less active. Trying to catch up on sleep on weekends is not the answer and can still lead to severe sleep deprivation.
In this edition of SchoolTV, parents will learn about the importance of sleep and how sleep deprivation can have adverse effects on a child's health and wellbeing. We hope you take time to reflect on the information offered in this month's edition and we always welcome your feedback.
Here is the link to this month's edition http://sceggs.nsw.schooltv.me/newsletter/sleep
Past editions on the following topics are still available for you to revisit at any stage:
- Anxiety
- Body image
- Eating disorders
- Physical activity and exercise
- Diet and nutrition
- School transitions
We hope that you have been finding the SchoolTV resources helpful. If you do feel at all concerned about your child, please do not hesitate to contact the School.

Director of Pastoral Care

Who says you're too short?
Don't worry. I feel your pain. Standing at about 4 feet nothing (okay, kidding), I've been on the shorter side of the scale all my life. I can rarely buy clothes off the rack, I can't reach shelves because they're all just way too high, and worst of all, culottes and maxi skirts end up looking like I'm wearing my dad's clothes.
Fashion-wise, there are plenty of areas where us short girls have to adjust. But trust me, they actually aren't that complicated.
Read on to learn how hack your way into short girl fashion and you'll never have to worry about looking too short again!
Let's Go Monochrome
Your overall silhouette is, well, short. Wearing too many colors at once might break up your form into blocks, accentuating your short stature in the process.
To create an illusion of elongated height, go for a monochromatic color scheme or a one-color dress. This will create an unbroken line of color from head to toe, streamlining your silhouette.
The Ultimate Optical Illusion
This trick is all about playing with proportions. Wearing high-waisted bottoms will stretch the lower half of your body, giving you longer legs for the day.
Go for a cute pair of shorts, skirts, or pants: as long as they hit above your waist, you'll do just fine. Just make sure you tuck in your top — too much volume will overwhelm your petite frame.
It's All In The Hemline
Shorter hemlines = longer legs, or at least the illusion of it. Go ahead and show off some of that flawless skin.
Hi, Heels!
This style hack speaks for itself. High heels are, well, high heels. Go all out for dates or a night out with friends, but for a day in the office or at school, block heels will give you that extra boost without sacrificing comfort.
Check out more heels on ZALORA.
Embrace your height!
Whether you try out these hacks or not, own your height and it won't matter what you're wearing. Trends come and go, but self-confidence is forever.
Got any more tips? Wanna rant about #shortgirlproblems? Let us know in the comments section below! And while you're at it, don't forget to give this article a clap if you liked it. ❤

Who's on China's side?
Sponsored Link: Eat THIS before bed to reverse Alzheimer's
Because sides are forming.
In one corner, America and our allies… Japan, Vietnam, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia, and India. A ring around half of China if not more.
In the other, China's friends and strategic partners… Russia, Pakistan, and Iran.
Sponsored Link: Simple bathroom habit deadlier than cigarettes
And that's just Asia.
Further afield, the picture grows murky… with Chinese influence and cash and property stretching across Europe, Africa, and Latin America.
Nobody wants a shooting war. That's why criticism of the trade war has ultimately been so muted. The trade war has been working… as a substitute for real war… or the kinds of posturing and projecting that can tumble anxious powers into a sudden conflagration.
But now the trade war is ratcheting military rivalry up. Trump has gone out of his way to avoid giving restive Hong Kong his moral or political support. He's sticking to the numbers… labeling China a currency manipulator and continuing to raise the stakes no matter how markets jitter.
But in Beijing they have other ideas. China is putting America's Asian-Pacific allies on notice not to host US missiles in their countries. Working overtime to get next generation quantum satellites into orbit. Plowing full steam ahead with technology that funnels all information into Party hands… at home and abroad.
The countries caught between the US and Chinese spheres are not exactly eager to join America shoulder to shoulder in spurning China's tech and its cash.
Sponsored Link: Is the secret to reversing Alzheimer's in your junk food drawer?
Yet they're not thrilled about lining up strategically against the United States, especially if it means weakening their defenses. The theme is drift. Wait and see. Take the money, minimize the exposure. Bunker down.
And the Chinese know they can't afford to take that approach. They got off easy with crushing the Uighurs out of social and cultural existence. Central Asia is under Russian protection, sealing off the abuse of power.
Hong Kong isn't so simple. The festering protests strike fear into China's regime. Because they're worried about the contagion spreading. The Chinese experience with rebellions and civil unrest is harrowing to those who know the tales. It's even worse for those whose political history it is.
Sponsored Link: You do THIS every night (35% higher cancer risk)
And the tariffs are weakening the Chinese economy… more every day. Breeding more disquiet… and raising the risks of a public meltdown. Their big tech dystopia is an all put effort to stop that meltdown before it starts.
But it's not enough. They have to grab and lock down what they need abroad in order to ensure stability at home.
Meanwhile back in the US nobody knows what the endgame is supposed to look like, beyond Reagan's famous line "we win, you lose." This is different. This isn't about destroying an evil empire.
Not yet, anyway.

On June the 12th, Kyle MacLachlan shared an image of himself with Stranger Things actor, David Harbour on his Facebook page. The image contained a link to an "Actors on Actors" interview between the two. You can watch the half hour approx interview on You Tube, it contains fascinating insights including how Kyle formed a working relationship with David Lynch and the struggles experienced by Harbour during the filming of Stranger Things Season One
As a fan of both shows, I imagined what it would be like if the worlds of Twin Peaks and Stranger Things collided, here's my thoughts. I consider myself to be a pretty big Twin Peaks fan and I realise some might balk at the idea of a TP/ST crossover. Please keep in mind that Twin Peaks can be very funny in places and Stranger Things has moments of genuine darkness, it's not inconceivable!
Lets ditch any 'canon' for now and have some fun! The town of Hawkins is overrun by demidogs but they have someone with them. For the first time, strange lumberjack like men with scorched engine oil on their faces join the demidogs in the wholesale destruction of the town. They chant eerie hypnotic mantras that send their victims to sleep before crushing the heads of those poor victims. Some simply wander around asking for a light and terrifying the locals.
Sheriff Hopper and the team are outnumbered and they need help. Even Eleven is unable to fend off this deadly combo of evil woodsmen and rabid denizens of the upside down.
In an effort to find a solution, Eleven switches on the TV and dons her blindfold. Upon entering the darkness, she sees a strange talking teapot in a dark dingy room. The talking teapot tells Eleven to 'seek the blue rose' before fading away….
Eleven bursts into the Sheriff's office and stammers the words 'Blue Rose.' Hopper seems to remember something, he thinks for a while before deciding to call an old friend in Snoqualmie….
The phone rings at the Twin Peaks Sheriff Dept. Lucy Brennan picks up the phone. It's Sheriff Hopper asking for his old friend, Tommy. Lucy diverts the call to Deputy Hawk's office (you can see the Log Lady's log mounted on the wall behind him). They talk for a while, Hopper explains the situation he is facing and asks if Hawk knows anything about a 'Blue Rose.' To this, Hawk immediately responds "You need to get Gordon Cole" and gives him the number to the FBI HQ.
Hopper calls Cole and after a long exasperating conversation with the deaf FBI director, manages to get him on board. Cole tells Hopper "WE'RE ON OUR WAY BUDDY, JUST HANG TIGHT." At this point, Agent Dale Cooper emerges from a lift and makes his way to Gordon's office. Seeing Dale, Gordon exclaims "COOP! IT'S VERY GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN MY FRIEND, WE NEED YOUR HELP", "You Do?" Cooper replies quizzically, "YES" replies Cole "WE'RE GOING TO HAWKINS, INDIANA"
A three-man Blue Rose team arrives in Hawkins- Agent Cooper, Gordon Cole and an out of retirement Denise. The engage in some congenial banter with Hopper & Co. Hopper enjoys some 'damn fine coffee and cherry pie' while team Blue Rose enjoy some 'damn good waffles.' Seeing the puzzled expression on Hopper's face, Cooper explains that Denise "may seem like just a pretty face but he once saved my life."
Learning of the problems in Hawkins, Cooper says he will need to take Eleven with him. Cooper and Denise will stay with Hopper while Cooper and Eleven attempt to solve the problem with the woodsmen and the demidogs. Cooper warns that things 'may not be the same' when this is all done and that there are no guarantees things will work out.
Coop and Eleven begin their journey into the surrounding woods around Hawkins. Eleven proves useful in taking out a few Woodsmen on the way. They eventually make it to a point where a swirling portal appears in the sky.
Cooper and Eleven are transported to the realm of The Fireman where he presents them both with a series of visual clues including a huge demigorgon emerging from a well of scorched engine oil surrounded by sycamore trees. Upon their return from the Fireman's realm, Cooper realises that they "need to pay Phillip a visit."
Back in Hawkins, Gordon and Denise prove themselves to be an asset to Hopper's team. They fight the Woodsmen and the demidogs back to the Hawkins lab. They make their way inside reaching the cordoned off entrance to the upside down. Here they find a grown up Pierre Tremond wearing the jumping man mask. Pierre snaps his fingers and Hopper sees the red curtains flash before his eyes.
Hopper is transported to the red room where Cooper stayed for 25 years. He sees Bob Newby and Barbara Holland, they speak to him in a weird forwards backwards manner of talking. Hopper sees a double of himself approaching, the double has blazing white eyes and a face of pure hatred. Bob tells Hopper "You must go now" and Barbara hurriedly escorts Hopper through the corridors of the red room with the double in pursuit. Barbara parts the curtains of the red room and urges Hopper to "GO! GO NOW!" as the Hopper double destroys Bob with flames.
Back in Hawkins, Cooper and Eleven return to the Sheriff station where Cooper borrows a police car. They drive for what seems like forever in almost complete silence until they stop at a desolate side road in the middle of nowhere. Cooper waits patiently until a convenience store materialises out of nothingness. A phone rings, Cooper picks up the phone and electricity sparkles.
Our two heroes find themselves in a dark room with the talking teapot. "Phillip, this is Eleven" says Cooper in an authoritative tone. "I know" Jeffries hisses "We've met before." "We need to help these people, Phillip" implores Cooper. "Don't you think you're missing somebody important?" Jeffries asks. The infinity loop appears, the ball rolls in the loop until it stops but no date can be seen. Once again the electricity sparkles, lighting up the whole room and our two heroes travel somewhere back in time.
Our heroes arrive in a pit facing a huge well of scorched engine oil, a massive white coloured demigorgon shrieks and flails at our heroes. Eleven tries to fight the demigorgon with all her might before collapsing from exhaustion. A powerless Cooper can only watch.
Seeing Eleven in peril, he quietly murmurs "Laura, are you here?" Laura Palmer emerges from the sycamore trees and lets out an ear piercing shriek as Cooper picks up Eleven in his arms and says "See you at the curtain call."
Hopper wakes up in Glastonbury Grove, Twin Peaks, dazed and confused. A little while later, Deputy Brennan finds him on a routine patrol through the woods and takes him back to the station.
Cooper and Eleven find themselves in the red room. "Don't worry, I'll get you home" Cooper reassures Eleven. He takes Eleven through the corridors and opens up the curtains to exit Glastonbury Grove. A little while after our heroes exit the red room, a demidog and a frogbug like creature emerge from the scorched engine oil and scuttle away into the woods.
Cooper reunites Eleven with Hopper at the Twin Peaks Sheriff Dept and asks Deputy Briggs to make arrangements to get them back to Hawkins. "Do you still remember everything?" he asks Eleven to which she replies "Yes, Blue Rose." Cooper vanishes into thin air right in front of everyone and Deputy Briggs gets ready to escort a still confused Hopper and fully enlightened Eleven back home.
So that was my attempt at Stranger Things/Twin Peaks crossover, inspired by a conversation between Kyle MacLachlan & David Harbour. If you liked it, please consider sharing it on your socials and thanks for reading!

Jack Van Impe ► Can Pope Francis bring Peace in the Middle East.
Jack Leo Van Impe (born February 9, 1931) is an American televangelist who is known for his half-hour weekly television series Jack Van Impe Presents, an eschatological commentary on the news of the week through an interpretation of the Bible. The program airs throughout the United States, Canada, and several other countries through both religious broadcasters and the purchase of paid programming time on commercial television stations. Van Impe's website claims that he is known as the "Walking Bible" because of his extensive memorization of Bible verses. His wife Rexella Van Impe (born Rexella Mae Shelton on November 29, 1932, in Missouri) shares his TV ministry as co-host.

The nacelle system is a unique technical proposition. It is designed to withstand the extreme environments of thermal cycle, vibration and operation in close proximity to the engine while being sufficiently lightweight to minimise fuel burn, durable enough to sustain repeated exposure to cyclic loads and able to offer noise reduction through acoustic engineering technology."
If you ever wanted to know the level of challenge in maintaining the nacelles of modern aircraft engines, then that description by Steve Callan, Senior Director MRO at UTC Aerospace Systems, of a nacelle's task is as good a place to start as any.
There are many different elements to a nacelle – engine cowling, inlet cowl, fan cowl, thrust reverser, core cowl, the exhaust system and more – and the amount of work required for each can vary. Moreover, as Callan notes, there are no prescribed shop maintenance intervals for nacelles.
"While some airlines base their nacelle maintenance on reactive events such as FOD [foreign object damage] incidents, our experience shows that this methodology increases long-term maintenance costs and impacts on nacelle reliability," says Callan. "Taking a preventative approach and selecting the right maintenance partner can benefit airlines both operationally and financially."
He adds that, by tailoring repair workscopes to the appropriate phase of a customer's aircraft lifecycle, UTAS can deliver OEM quality service at market competitive prices. According to Roy Campbell, MRO Programme Manager, Europe & Asia for Bombardier Aerostructures & Engineering Services, of all the elements in the nacelle, the thrust reverser (TR) systems traditionally demand more attention from operators because of the nature of the component in terms of use and design. "The TR operates in a harsh environment. Actuation systems (moving parts), deployed engine bypass loads and temperature combine to challenge the component," he explains.
"The TR is an on-condition maintenance component; however, many operators elect to follow a proactive, preventative maintenance approach. Operators will typically review TRs during scheduled maintenance activities, which contributes to a greater removal rate," Campbell adds.
The next component requiring attention is the inlet cowl. "While static, its position at the front of the nacelle means that it is susceptible to FOD (bird-strike, debris, ground support damage)," he continues. "This component does not have any scheduled maintenance other than general visual checks. However, its anti-icing system creates a harsh environment which can have detrimental effects on the component."
The Bombardier executive emphasises that the scope of any nacelle repair "is dictated by the level of disassembly and damage to be addressed and it is not uncommon at tear-down stage to find more damage than that reported". A visual inspection can fail to pick up hidden damage under the surface.
As an OEM, Safran Nacelles' MRO capabilities bring together its experience as the nacelle designer, manufacturer and MRO services supplier. "Applying this expertise to MRO activities is highly valuable, especially with the growing use of composites in engine nacelles, making diagnostics of thermal degradation increasingly important," comments Olivier Savin, the company's Vice President of Customer Support and Services.
"An example is the inner fixed structure (IFS) element of a nacelle's thrust reverser, which encases the engine's portions located between the fan case and the nozzle. One side of the IFS faces the engine, while the other faces the bypass air duct and creates an aerodynamically smooth path for the cooler air," Savin elucidates.
Vladimir Cervera, Vice President and General Manager of HEICO Component Repair Group – Structures Division, does not believe that any one element of a nacelle inherently needs more attention and/or replacement than the others. "The amount of work required is determined mostly by the condition of the unit received for service," he observes. "However, for standard wear and tear, thrust reversers generally require the most work because they have a greater number of attaching components and are subject to higher aerodynamic and static loads during operation. Additionally, the thrust reverser also has a large number of moving parts that tend to develop wear more frequently than non-moving parts such as those belonging to the fan and inlet cowls."
Expanding on Cervera's points, Hastings Siegfried, Vice Chairman of NORDAM Repair Division, remarks: "Nacelle and reverser repairs are similar to those on other structures; however, the range of material types, design features, operating temperatures and service environments add complexity. Each nacelle component has its own specific requirements which greatly affect what we typically see when evaluating components for repair.
"The reverser requires more attention and is the more complex assembly of the engine nacelle system due to its dynamic nature, with inlet cowls being second," Siegfried adds. "While component maintenance and structural repair manuals provide repair instructions for most types of minor damage, some components suffer more damage that requires the design of customised repairs." >>

and let's not forget that for some women, tricking a man into a pregnancy is just "normal". It is therefore safe to assume that a single father had fatherhood thrust upon him.Single mothers make a conscious, deliberate choice to make the one decision most likely to guarantee their children live in poverty with little chance of escaping.We understand that being a single father can be very hard, demanding, and quite lonely and that it doesn't leave you with very much time to meet or date other singles..That's why at we at have created a single parent dating site to help out all those who have been forced into a single life to come online and start to meet and minlge with other single parents.
"I found it very arbitrary that before they got to know me, they had decided against me."But as Ruyter cycled through "close to 100" first dates and a few long-term girlfriends (a scheduling feat, considering half his week was devoted to his son), his romantic standards heightened in ways they may not have pre-fatherhood.
Baggage has a lot more faces than merely having children with another man, and they find out harshly that the childless woman may be a big baby herself, looking for a "daddy" to buy her things.
So men accept the fact that dating women of a certain age will result in children being almost a certainty, so they either date 19 yr old girls, or own up to the reality that their dating prospects will come with a child.
He broke off one relationship because her dream of a downtown condo didn't fit with his need for a yard and swing set.
"I think sometimes the women I dated didn't realize that single dads still have parenting obligations that, for me, came first," said Ruyter, now 36, who maintains the blog "Memoirs of a Single Dad" (memoirsofasingledad.com) and recently self-published the book "Memoirs of a Dating Dad."Changing landscape As fathers grow more engaged in child rearing, and courts more willing to grant them custody, single dads increasingly are dating with kids in tow — in heart if not in hand.

PLANS for a five-storey hotel have sparked controversy with residents claiming their homes are under threat.
Planning chiefs are considering an application for the 65-bedroom building with restaurant, bar and car parking in the Lower Ormeau district of South Belfast.
Locals claim approaches have been made to property owners in the area around Shaftesbury Avenue to sell up.
But Ellen McAllister, 75, who lives at the first house on Shaftesbury Avenue, told the Daily Mirror yesterday: "The only way I'm leaving this house is in a box."
The plans outlined in a letter to residents relate to the address 42-50 Ormeau Road. But a source at the planning office said the hotel would stretch back from the Ormeau Road behind numbers 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 Shaftesbury Avenue.
One local mum said: "Where are cars to go with 65 rooms going to park around here?
"Then there's the sewage. Everyone knows the problems we've had with flooding round here.
"There are 100 new houses getting built in the cricket ground - now this."

Which jets and turboprops fared the best and worst heading into November 2017? Asset Insight's Tony Kioussis summarizes the latest Maintenance Exposure to Price Ratio findings.
If any proof were needed that higher asset quality aircraft are the ones actively trading, last month's transactions should provide it, Tony Kioussis draws conclusions from an October 30, 2017 market analysis covering 92 fixed-wing aircraft models and 1,744 aircraft listed 'For Sale'.
The Quality Rating for the used aircraft inventory analyzed posted the lowest (worst) figure of the past twelve calendar months, while average Ask Price reached another record low.
Unsurprisingly, the ETP Ratio for listed assets was negatively impacted, posting the worst 12-month figure across all four aircraft groups. But which models fared the best, and which fared the worst?
ETP Explained
Firstly, let's explain the Exposure to Ask Price Ratio (ETP Ratio) and its relevance. The ETP Ratio calculates an aircraft's maintenance exposure as it relates to the ask price. This is achieved by dividing an aircraft's Maintenance Exposure (the financial liability accrued with respect to future scheduled maintenance events) by the aircraft's Ask Price.
The ETP Ratio is a useful indicator of an aircraft's marketability. 'Days on Market' analysis has shown that when the ETP Ratio is greater than 40%, a listed aircraft's Days on Market increases (in many cases by more than 30%). So, for example, aircraft whose ETP Ratio exceeded 40% during Q3 2017 were listed 'For Sale' an average 31% longer than aircraft whose Ratio was below 40% (229 versus 300 Days on the Market respectively).
Accordingly, as the ETP Ratio decreases, the asset's value increases (in relation to the aircraft's price). At the end of October:
Most Improved Models
All but one (the Beech 1900C) of the 'Most Improved Models' shown in the table below experienced a Maintenance Exposure reduction/improvement. All but one (the Learjet 60 at -$138,844) posted an Ask Price increase.
Price increases included:
The Bombardier Global Express' swing to the top of the 'Most Improved' list from one of last month's 'Most Deteriorated' models demonstrates what can occur when transactions swing the inventory mix from lower-priced, lower-quality aircraft to higher quality assets. The average Maintenance Exposure decreased $794k commanding – at least in sellers' minds – higher ask prices.
Proving their aircraft's price is justified (compared to the lower values accepted by recent traders) will be each seller's challenge.
This can be accomplished only if sellers have their aircraft's comparative asset quality facts to hand.
The Beech 1900C's appearance as the second 'Most Improved' aircraft, meanwhile, demonstrates what can happen when a sizeable portion of a model's inventory transacts. While the aircraft mix that traded impacted the average Maintenance Exposure for the still-listed aircraft 'For Sale' increasing it by $64k, an average Ask Price increase in excess of $211k easily compensated for the asset quality decrease.
Again, achieving that desired price in any actual transaction will depend on each seller's ability to prove their aircraft's higher asset quality.
In the case of the Learjet 60, whose average Ask Price decreased by nearly $139k, the $289k improvement in Maintenance Exposure is impressive, especially since the inventory fleet decreased by only seven percent (three units).
Most Deteriorated Models
Five of the six aircraft in the 'Most Deteriorated' category experienced a Maintenance Exposure increase. The one exception, the Hawker 800A, benefited from a Maintenance Exposure improvement (decrease) in excess of $24k.
Three of the aircraft were negatively impacted by an Ask Price decrease, including:
Two models (Falcon 20-5 and Learjet 31) saw no change in Ask Price, while the Learjet 35A experienced the only Ask Price increase (+$14,111).
With 84 aircraft listed 'For Sale', and none trading over the past month, the Ask Price decrease for the Cessna Citation II is hardly surprising. However, the Citation II vaulted to the bottom of the list by virtue of an additional penalty, an increase of $116k in Maintenance Exposure.
In its ongoing swing from one list to the other, the sale of a single Dassault Falcon 20-5 aircraft in a fleet of only six inventory assets moved this model from the top of the 'Most Improved' list to the second worst position on the 'Most Deteriorated' list.
Although the model posted no change in Ask Price, a Maintenance Exposure increase of nearly $103k led to the change.
The Lear 31 saw no change in Ask Price, but one higher quality aircraft did trade, leading to an average Maintenance Exposure increase of nearly $77k, and that kept the asset in the same position on the 'Most Deteriorated' list.
A Word to the Wise Seller…
It is important to understand that the ETP Ratio has more to do with buyer and seller dynamics than it does with either the asset's accrued maintenance or its price. For any aircraft, maintenance can accrue only so far before work must be completed.
But as an aircraft's value decreases, there will come a point when the accrued maintenance figure equates to more than 40% of the aircraft's Ask Price. When a prospective buyer adjusts their offer to address this accrued maintenance, the figure is all-too-often considered unacceptable to the seller and a deal is not reached.
It is not until an aircraft undergoes some major maintenance that a seller is sufficiently motivated to accept a lower figure, or a buyer is willing to pay a higher price and the aircraft transacts, ultimately.
The wise seller will carefully weigh the offer of a buyer against the loss in value of their aircraft 'For Sale' as the asset spends more days on the market awaiting a better offer and simultaneously accruing a higher maintenance figure.

Vietnam, Belgium agree on $3.2mn governance support project
Par Vietnam aujourd'hui le mardi 15 novembre 2016, 13:47 - News in english - Lien permanent
Vietnamese and Belgian governments have recently signed three specific agreements for the project "Support for Responsive Accountable Local Governance (RALG)" in three Vietnamese provinces, the Embassy of Belgium said in a recent press release.
The project, agreements for which were signed by Vietnamese Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen The Phuong and Ambassador of the Kingdom of Belgium to Vietnam Jehanne Roccas, will be implemented in Nghe An, Ha Tinh and Kon Tum, with a grant of €3 million (US$3.2 million).
The People's Committees of the three provinces are responsible for implementing the project in three years.
The project's objective is strengthening citizen-government engagement as a means of promoting more transparent, accountable and responsive local governance with improved service delivery and increased levels of citizen satisfaction.
It also aims to make all citizens of Vietnam indirect beneficiaries through benefiting from the knowledge products, lessons learned, good practices generated in the province and beyond its boundaries, as well as through the dialogue strengthened at policy levels with regard to the issue of citizen-government interactions.
According to the press release, immediate beneficiaries of the project include People's Committees and People's Councils at the provincial, district and commune levels as well as participating line agencies (including home affairs, planning and investment, justice, and finance) who will benefit from the technical assistance and capacity building support provided under the project.
Another object of beneficiary is the Vietnamese Fatherland Front members and members of mass organizations at the provincial, district and commune levels who will benefit from organizational development and capacity building support which will enable them to better perform their core functions.
Citizens of selected communes or districts where the project will be implemented are also beneficiaries.
