Marital Instability Over the Life Course [United States]: A Six-Wave Panel Study, 1980, 1983, 1988, 1992-1994, 1997, 2000 (ICPSR 3812)
Principal Investigator(s): Booth, Alan, Pennsylvania State University; Johnson, David, Pennsylvania State University; Amato, Paul, Pennsylvania State University; Rogers, Stacy, Pennsylvania State University
To examine the causes of marital instability throughout the life course, six waves of data were collected between 1980 and 2000 from married individuals who were between the ages of 18 and 55 in 1980. Information collected in 1980 (Wave I) focused on the effects of wives' participation in the labor force on marriage and marital instability. Measures predicting marital instability and divorce and assessing marital quality were developed. Variables include information on earnings, commitment to work, hours worked, and occupational status. The focus of Wave II, conducted in 1983, was to link changes in factors such as economic resources, wife's employment, presence of children, marital satisfaction, life goals, and health to actions intended to dissolve a marriage, such as divorce and permanent separation. Information on adjustment to marital dissolution, relationship with in-laws, size of home, parents' employment, use of free time, club membership, child-care arrangements, and responsibility for chores was gathered. Wave III, collected in 1988, further examined the impact of changes in employment, economics, and health on marital relationships. Questions were asked about divorce and remarriage, investment of energy and resource use in the care of aging parents and dependent offspring, asset value, awareness of aging, mental health issues, and history of disease. In 1992, Wave IV data were collected to look at changes in employment, economics, and health. Questions were asked about retirement issues, family structure, and the impact of caring for aging parents while at the same time caring for dependent offspring. Data were also collected in 1992 and 1994 from adult offspring who were living in the household in 1980 and had reached age 19 by 1992, thus providing parallel measures with their parents regarding the quality of parent-child relationships, attitudes, and support along with exploring the impact of childhood experiences on the transition to adult life. In 1997, the fifth wave was collected and interviews were conducted with a second sample of adult offspring (N=202) along with second interviews of offspring selected in 1992 (N=606). Wave V also examined the relationship between marital quality and stability and how it relates to changes in marital quality later in life. In 2000, Wave VI data were collected. Included with the adult panel was a panel obtained from the offspring who participated in 1992 or 1997, a replicate of the original cross-section study completed in 1980 (comprised of currently married persons between the ages of 19 and 55), along with a comparison sample made up of persons who were married in 1980 and were between 39 and 75 years old. The investigators examined whether there were changes in marital quality between 1980 and 2000, identified factors that might have accounted for these changes, and sought to determine their impact on the health and longevity of older persons. New questions included in Wave VI covered whether the respondent thought he/she had an organized lifestyle, alcohol and tobacco use, health problems, physical limitations, and mattering (the level of concern expressed for and received from spouse). Among the variables included in all six waves are age, sex, educational attainment, marital status and history, attitude toward divorce, number of children, religious affiliation, and income level. The Work and Family Life Study (ICPSR 26641) was conducted in 2000 as a follow-up to the Marital Instability Over the Life Course Study. Included in the Work and Family Life Study is a new cross-section of 2,100 married people 55 years of age and younger. Additionally, the Work and Family Life Study contains a Comparison Sample comprised of 1,600 additional respondents. The purpose of this Comparison Sample is to assess potential bias due to sample attrition in the panel study.

Big Skies Are Partly Cloudy for Montana Credit Unions
Montana's economy is booming thanks to oil, but the Big Sky Country's credit unions are still struggling to catch up.
Drilling equipment and crews are moving back to Montana and the state's rig count has grown to 22 from just eight at this time last year. Montana's Department of Natural Resources and Conservation issued a record 356 oil drilling permits in the first 10 months of the year, easily beating the previous record of 313 set in 2005.
Where there is oil, there are jobs.
The state's unemployment rate has been on a downward trend since mid-2011. The national unemployment rate held steady at 7.8% in December 2012, but at year-end Montana celebrated a 5.7% seasonally adjusted unemployment rate.
Real estate prices in the eight eastern Montana counties with the Bakken Wells behind the oil boom have increased 30% in two years. In November, the state's Revenue Department said home prices across Montana, except in Bozeman and Kalispell, have rebounded to their 2008 pre-crash level.
With all these positive signs, Montana credit unions should be flourishing. But state's ROA averaged 68 basis points as of Sept. 30, compared to the national average of 86 basis points. That's not exactly a boom nor a bust.
"The eastern part of our state is in the middle of an oil boom which means, that many [credit unions'] longtime members are cash rich and not borrowing much," said Tracie Kenyon, president/CEO of the Montana Credit Union Network.
Kenyon said some other factors contributing to lower-than-average profitability include the fact that in general, Montana lags behind the rest of the country, so the recession has hit later there than in other areas. In some areas, that meant high delinquencies, and members are still cautious about borrowing.
"Many of our individual credit unions are experiencing some moderate loan growth and some are simply holding steady," she said.
The $103 million Billings FCU pumped out a booming 1.39% ROA as of Dec. 31, 2012, and President/CEO Tom Boos says he knows exactly why his credit union is performing so well.
"We keep a laser-like focus on loan growth," he said. "We're good at approving loans for credit impaired members that most other financial institutions turn down. Hence, we generate a higher loan yields than most of our peers. We also generate more noninterest income than our peers."
Delinquencies are low at 0.61% as of year-end, and Boos said his loan quality success is the result of aggressive underwriting and counseling for high-risk borrowers.
"We make sure our members understand we are putting our faith in them," Boos said. "We explain that we expect their payments to be made on time, and if they're unable to make their scheduled payment, we expect them to contact us to share their circumstances. Lastly, we promise these members we will collect on the loans aggressively if they fail to live up to their commitments, and we execute on that promise."
This Montana credit union ended 2012 with an annualized loan growth of 10.7%, mostly because Billings FCU developed a niche seven-year mortgage product called a Mortgage Accelerator Loan. This is an in-house product targeted at members with relatively low mortgage balances, good credit and low loan to values who haven't refinanced because of high closing costs. The credit unions charges a $600 origination fee and is currently offering a 2.49% APR on the product.
"We've found a good niche, and members are excited about taking advantage of the offer, " Boos said.
About 350 miles away, things are looking a little different.
Missoula FCU has assets of $379 million and a three-county community field of membership in western Montana. It is also a college town, the home of the University of Montana, but there are no oil fields.
Missoula FCU's ROA is improving, climbing from negative 0.08% a year ago to 0.54% as of Dec. 31, and Senior Vice President of Marketing Joni S. Walker remains hopeful despite a shrinking loan portfolio.
"We are seeing ever-increasing deposits despite lowering our rates, and our loans continue to decline," she said. "Our investment portfolio is now larger than our loan balances. We subscribe to the total return philosophy on our investments, whereby we balance our portfolio and measure the actual cash returned rather than chasing yield. This has contributed to our interest income and offset a little of the loss in loan interest income. Plus, a lower corporate stabilization assessment expense helped move our ROA higher."
The Missoula credit union is generating more fee income and working to reduce its noninterest expenses where feasible, she said. Attrition has reduced full time staffing and management has found ways to re-deploy staff internally to better match their skill sets and the needs of the organization.
"We have had to add staff in the collections, audit, compliance, risk management and finance areas to keep up with ever-changing regulation and examiner requirements–all but one of these moves have been internal staff moved to different areas," Walker said. "We are growing members and assets. Our challenge is to grow loans."
It's quite a challenge. As of Dec. 31, the credit union's 12-month loan growth had shrunk by 21.69%.
"We have a significant MBL portfolio, and we ride the ups and downs of commercial lending to some degree," Walker said. "We have lost at least one large commercial loan because of regulatory restrictions on MBL loan to value. Our member wanted to expand his business but we weren't able to take on the additional loan, and we had to watch that $7 million walk across the street to a bank that could do the whole deal for the member."
Walker said that despite high delinquency numbers, the credit union charged off the known major losses in their commercial loan portfolio and has seen consumer delinquencies stabilize.
"We are nowhere near the record low delinquencies of the good ol' days," she said. "Our September delinquent loans to assets was actually 10.18% and our net charge-offs to average loans was 0.59%, both higher than we would prefer, but the trend is slightly positive."
The credit union improved on its delinquency numbers, reducing the number to 5.46% as of year-end, according to its financial performance report posted on the NCUA's Website.
In recent years, Missoula has seen several larger businesses leave the area, taking jobs with them, which has resulted in some lean times–particularly as the logging industry has also slowed. However, this college town is starting to see some jobs come back in the manufacturing sector. Construction is slowly coming back but not nearly as quickly as it dried up.
"We are optimistic about the coming year, having forecast some growth in auto lending," Walker said. "We believe there is some pent up demand in our market, and we intend to realize that growth. Few people in our FOM rely on public transportation as their main mode of transport. Because of this, most people must have a reliable vehicle, and many have waited to purchase new vehicles longer than usual."
Missoula FCU has also jumped back on the mortgage bandwagon. Mortgages (both refis and purchases) are a big target area for the credit union in the coming year.
"We just introduced a new 10-year, no-fee mortgage that we believe will fill a need in our market for those who have avoided refinancing to lower rates because of fees," Walker said. "Home sales are starting to move again, as more first time homebuyers take advantage of low rates."

In what many will find a surprising turn of events, electric car sales have plummeted this year, plunging the fledgling industry into financial turmoil. Many manufacturers and dealers are cutting back operations; some have shut down entirely. Others are calling for government action to prevent the industry from wholesale collapse.
Many dealers understandably don't want to discuss declining sales. When asked how well their cars were selling, a spokesman for Electric Vehicles, Inc, in Tampa, tersely replied "no comment", and hung up. A dealer in Texas didn't answer the phone at all. Another in California had its number disconnected.
EPower, a retailer selling electric cars in Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri, has only sold two cars in the past three months. President Bruce Wood tells DailyTech that, "while there are a lot of tire kickers", few will actually commit to a purchase.
MCEV, the largest electric car dealer in the Pacific Northwest, has seen sales decline to 1-2 vehicles a month, down 80% from earlier this year. Buzz Duell, General Manager of MCEV, blames not only gas prices, but the economy as a whole. "No one wants to spend money right now", he says. Not only are individual buyers cutting back, but corporate and government sales -- which make up a large percentage of MCEV's revenue -- are also being impacted.
Duell expects a recovery in sales to take at least two years.
Tim Sankey, owner of an electric car distributor in Kansas concurs. "It will take time to build a customer base", he says, "but people haven't forgotten about high gas prices". Sankey hopes for a rebound next year.
Sales declines aren't limited to the U.S. In Britain, sales of electric cars have dropped a shocking 58 percent this year. For the first ten months of 2008, a total of only 156 vehicles were sold in the country -- nearly all of those confined to London itself. The announcement came just two days after the nation's Committee on Climate Change predicted electric car sales would increase substantially this year.
Tesla Motors, maker of the all-electric Tesla Roadster, announced a round job cuts last October, and said that plans for a mass-produced high-volume electric car would be "impacted" by the grim sales outlook. Rumors suggested job cuts could be up to half the company's work force, a figure Tesla officially denied.
Larry Shriner, Chief Financial Officer of Zenn Motors, an electric car manufacturer based in Canada, says government "needs to get engaged to give the industry some momentum". Shriner doesn't necessarily favor gas price supports, but he says government needs to ensure "people stay focused" on the benefits of electric car technology.
Sales of traditional cars have also declined, but not as sharply. According to tracking company Autodata, sales are down 37 period from the same period last year.

HarborOne Bank Conversion Not Seen as Trend Setter
Richard S. Garabedian, a Washington attorney who specializes in credit union charter conversions, doesn't think HarborOne Credit Union's conversion to a state co-operative bank, approved by its members Monday, will trigger a wave of credit union charter conversions.
"Every credit union conversion is unique," said Garabedian. "But I don't think it means you are going to see a wave of charter conversions. It's hard to predict what impact it will have but it may give some credit unions an incentive to look at the charter option because this one was passed by member."
But he also noted that other charter conversions have failed. For example, the members of the $1.7 billion Technology CU in San Jose, Calif., voted overwhelmingly not to convert to a mutual bank in 2012.
And even though members of the $187 million HAR-CO Federal Credit Union in Bel Air, Md., approved the CU's plans to convert to a mutual bank, it pulled its application to convert last year.
On Monday, the $1.9 billion HarborOne CU in Brockton, Mass., announced members approved the charter change proposal with nearly 62% of its 22,433 voting members casting ballots in favor of the proposal.
The Bay State's largest state-chartered credit union has said its reasons to convert were the flexibility to expand HarborOne's markets and customer base, increase its lending authority, including small business lending, and gain access to additional capital.
However, longtime credit union attorney Steven R. Bisker of Alexandria, Va., said members who voted for the conversion were not voting for their own best interest. He argued that NCUA data has consistently shown that when a credit union converts to a bank, the rates charged for loans and the rates paid for savings are not as good as when they were operating as a credit union.
"If my credit union were to say to me that it wanted to convert to a bank, why would I want that? I am taking advantage of my credit union's services because they offer things to me that my bank doesn't," Bisker said. "Why would I want to make my CU a bank? The reason why I'm doing business with my credit union is because it is a credit union. If they (HarborOne members) thought their credit union should be a bank, then they should not have been doing business with the credit union in the first place."
Garabedian, however, said the merger and acquisition trend that appears to be gaining traction is that credit unions are buying banks.
He pointed to the $353 GFA Federal Credit Union acquisition of the $83 million Monadnock Community Bank in Peterborough, N.H, the $1.3 billion United Federal CU in Michigan purchase of Griffiths Savings Bank in Indiana, and the proposed $2 billion Landmark CU of New Berlin, Wis., acquisition of the $290 million Hartford Savings Bank in Hartford, Wis., which just won NCUA approval.
"It's a shame that we are losing another credit union," said E. Andrew Keeney, a 35-year credit union attorney in Norfolk, Va.
Nevertheless, Keeney doesn't think the HarborOne conversion will weaken the credit union industry.
"I think that those that want to belong to a credit union are solid credit union members. We have some great, great credit unions and great management," he said. "Occasionally, one will fall from the flock. It's regrettable, but it's not something that is totally unexpected."
Douglas Faucette, a spokesperson for America's Mutual Banks in Washington, an organization that represents mutual savings banks, said he believes the HarborOne conversion is a positive development.
"I think (HarborOne conversion) is positive because the credit union has evolved to a point now that it can stand on its own two feet and it doesn't need the help from anybody other than its membership and its customers," said Faucette. "Now, I admit that when a credit union suddenly turns around and wants to convert to a stock bank, that is a very different conversation. But in this particular case, it just enhances (HarborOne's) mission. Why would anyone be opposed to this, I am not sure."
Peter A. Conrad, president/CEO of the Co-operative Central Bank in Boston, Mass., said if HarborOne's conversion clears all of its remaining regulatory hurdles, the financial institution will become the largest co-operative bank in the state. The average asset size of a Massachusetts's co-operative bank is about $500 million.
There are 51 co-operative banks in Massachusetts, which is the only state in the union which offers a co-operative bank charter, Conrad said.
Conrad said the co-operative bank charter is similar to a credit union charter in that depositors are also members with voting rights.
HarborOne CU's may take weeks or months to complete the regulatory hurdles.
After the certified member vote results and its accompanying materials are submitted to the NCUA, the agency will have 30 days to either approve or reject the certification. The state's division of banks will have 10 days to either approve or reject the certification as well. HarborOne has already submitted its application to obtain FDIC insurance.
"We are not projecting any completion time because the process is subject to regulatory review and possible delay," said James Rice, HarborOne's senior vice president of marketing.
"The FDIC won't give us any indication of acceptance until after the NCUA and the Massachusetts Division of Banks give their approval on the member vote (certification)," the HarborOne spokesman said.

A varicocele is swelling in the scrotum due to a back up of blood in the main veins of the testicles.
Not all varicoceles require treatment. Varicoceles that interfere with fertility, cause pain, or cause other problems may require surgery.
A varicocele is caused by a problem in the main vein of the testicle. Blood normally leaves the testicle through the spermatic vein. When this vein is not working properly, the blood gets backed up and the veins bulge.
Risk Factors
Varicoceles typically develop in men 15-25 years old. There are no specific factors that increase your risk of getting varicoceles.
Varicoceles may not always have symptoms. When they do appear, symptoms may include:
- Feeling of heaviness or soreness in the scrotum.
- Feeling enlarged, or twisted veins in the scrotum. They can feel like worms or spaghetti.
- Veins typically change in size and are larger when standing or straining.
Varicoceles may cause the testicle to be smaller. It may also contribute to male infertility by reducing sperm quality and/or quantity.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Varicoceles are usually easily diagnosed by exam. Your doctor may recommend tests to confirm varicoceles or rule out other conditions.
Tests may include:
- Ultrasound
- Semen tests
- Blood tests to look for testicular injury in adolescents
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment is not required for all varicoceles. Treatment is generally recommended if a varicocele is causing infertility, change in testicle size, or if it is causing pain.
Options may include one or more of the following:
Home Care
To help ease discomfort, your doctor may recommend over-the-counter pain relievers. In some cases, you may need to wear supportive underwear or a jock strap.
Surgical treatment options include:
- Open surgery—the vein is surgically cut and tied off
- Catheter ablation—heat is applied through a catheter to destroy the vein
- Catheter embolization—a substance is placed in the vein to block it
- Laparoscopic varicocelectomy —involves the use of a thin, lighted tube inserted into the abdomen to view the vessels in the body as they lead to the testicle and block them

Arun DominicBest BrowserUC mini is the best browser for Android. It's a lite weighed useful app, Thanks ucweb INC for this great app. The drawback of this app is ads, if you remove ads and instead accept donations then your revenue as well as reputation will increase.
Sayli JoshiUc mini is even better than uc browser itself😋Best. Though I can't set any theme (like uc) for uc mini, I like it more than uc. It occupies less space & is easy & faster. the only thing I don't like is ads & unnecessary app suggestions..thats annoying.
AnonymousBest browserThis is my mom's phone I have it on my phone as well she lets use hers freely so I can can buy video games in the mouth. The UC mini works great and I would recommend it for everyone. And it takes up a small amount of free space web pages load quick and it's stable as well. We use straight talk and for some reason the browser on this phone is slow on loading web pages and when you download videos online from vuclip and so it cuts off. And you have to start over but with this browser it's never cut of on me.
Mesud XalidGood but,It's very good and I like it but my problem is when the new update is created we don't see any information about the update it still :whats new: 1. Stylish UI Enjoy a fresh new look & easy UI 2. Faster Access Quick access to websites while typing or searching the address 3. Strong & Stable Search No crash & more stable than before
ALi ZAffarAbsolutely great app.No need to say ..app performance is much faster and better. But i have an issue ..i am surfing all the time but i don't find any history...there's no history in my browser. That's the only thing which makes me rate to 4 stars ..please solve it ..or suggest me to solve it ..please. thank you
Jason KayserI used to swear by Dolphin browserNow I dont....UC is tha only browser that has been able to handle my web experience. I have this thing about downloading things..I download the **!* outta tha internet! I download so much even my momma calls me GIGATRON!! I'm sure nyone that uses Dolphin browser knows that it doesnt work nymore, well thats because i was tearin it up terra byte stlye on the tha Worldwide Web and BROKE THAT **!T!! Beyond repair actually, so tha fact that I use UC Mini Browser ALL DAY EVERY DAY just straight Dloadin sh!* Son N
Hannah Dakota KellyI'm using on 2g data so it took a bit for this to load, but I had to rate 5 star and review it because its literally the fastest I've had to load Facebook and google. I've had several and they were way slower or just crashed instantly!! Really impressed, thank you so much for making this time of the month where I don't have high speed data easier and faster for me!!!! :)
Suzanne StultzSo Far Real FastI've been using this app for an hour. So I don't have a lot of experience but the page loads seem to eliminate a bunch of graphics and ads that bog down page loads. Since I'm a news reader, it's fantastic not having flashing banners and waiting for blocking ads to load before the cancel button appears.
Precious KapondaGood but some features could've been betterUC mini is small and fast, I love its file manager feature in downloads and it downloads at very fast speeds but some pages don't load properly they don't look as beautiful as they do on other browsers. They may want to update how the browser reads and sets defaults for the CSS of pages
Ehn JaeSo SMOOTH as a baby's bottom.Even though this is also from UC, their differences aren't really that big. There are only few feats that this version doesn't have but the main function is as same as the original version, so this is more preferable if talking about mobile storage and app size wise. Kudos to you, UC!!2
Sabaresh SrinivasDo u know y UC s best?Best for speed surf, Downloading speed shows the difference in UC & normal download rate. Previous pages is min 12 as per my usage without loading again, goes up to more than 20. Less size. Consumes bit more after usage but u won't feel threatened. HQ & Low image views present. Easy to bookmark. I'm using for 3yrs it's best. OVERALL THE BEST!!!
Kathryn WallerJust about everything they claim, but I sure wish I could choose the top headlines and news sources (as their choices are obviously for young and empty-headed types w/a leftist point of view). Then it would be perfect! Keep up your excellent work- it shows in sooooo many ways! Thanks! 4.5 stars
akash deepOccum fast browserBcz i open the bank website on every browser but they take time for open the site but with this site open with in second even opera mini is not stand front on it . Its total rapid . And no lagging on open the heavy page and it open the conplete page without any diduction from the page .i think if u use the fast browser so u can try data and afferd first on this browser and i m sure you will not require any other option

Census of Population and Housing, 1980 [United States]: Summary Tape File 3B (ICPSR 8318)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Commerce. Bureau of the Census
This data collection is a component of Summary Tape File (STF) 3, which consists of four sets of data files containing detailed tabulations of the nation's population and housing characteristics produced from the 1980 Census. The STF 3 files contain sample data inflated to represent the total United States population. The files also contain 100-percent counts and unweighted sample counts of persons and housing units. All files in the STF 3 series are identical, containing 321 substantive data variables organized in the form of 150 "tables," as well as standard geographic identification variables. Population items tabulated for each person include demographic data and information on schooling, Spanish origin, language spoken at home and ability to speak English, labor force status in 1979, residency in 1975, number of children ever born, means of transportation to work, current occupation, industry, and 1979 details on occupation, hours worked, and income. Housing items include size and condition of the housing unit as well as information on value, age, water, sewage and heating, number of vehicles, and monthly owner costs (e.g., sum of payments for real estate taxes, property insurance, utilities, and regular mortgage payments). Selected aggregates and medians are also provided. Each dataset in STF 3 provides different geographic coverage. Summary Tape File 3B provides summaries for each 5-digit ZIP-code area within a state, and for 5-digit ZIP-code areas within states that were contained within Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSAs), portions of SMSAs, or within counties, county portions, or county equivalents. All persons and housing units in the United States were sampled. Population and housing items include household relationship, sex, race, age, marital status, Hispanic origin, number of units at address, complete plumbing facilities, number of rooms, whether owned or rented, vacancy status, and value for noncondominiums. The Census Bureau's machine-readable data dictionary for STF 3 is also available through CENSUS OF POPULATION AND HOUSING, 1980 [UNITED STATES]: CENSUS SOFTWARE PACKAGE (CENSPAC) VERSION 3.2 WITH STF4 DATA DICTIONARIES (ICPSR 7789), the software package designed specifically by the Census Bureau for use with the 1980 Census data files.

The old disk is 1 TB with 100 GB being used. Planning on restoring to a 128 MB SSD. Would that work? Is that too "tight"? Planning on putting the 1 TB in as a D drive.
JustAnEngineer wrote:If I try this going from an 80 GB 5400 rpm laptop drive to a 120 GB SSD, will Windows 7 figure out that the drive is fast enough to set the SSD optimizations for me, or are there a set of instructions I should follow to make that happen after I've booted from the copied image?
Ryu Connor wrote:There is no documentation detailing when Windows 7 does the random reads, random writes, or flush tests to determine if the system disk is an SSD and passes the necessary baseline to disable SuperFetch and Readyboost.
Assuming that the normal plug and play process/transition is insufficient. I would focus in the following areas:
--If it's during the hardware detection phase then doing a sysprep before (or after) migration of the OS to another disk would generate the end result you're after.
c:\windows\system32\sysprep\> sysprep /generalize /oobe
This would regenerate the entire disk subsystem. Just don't get in a habit of doing something this. I resets activation and the OS can only handle that so many times without having to start mucking in the plumbing.

'Degustation' opening imminent
Get ready to degust, because Brockley Cross' 'other' fine food and drink shop is expected to open this month.
'Degustation' will be run by a French man who lives in Brockley and its fare will be predominantly French produce, including wine, chocolate, cheese and bread.
Although we've been unable to contact the owner so-far, we have been reliably informed that the shop (the former Pavilion office, near the station) requires very little modification to get it ready to open. Work is already underway and the shop could open within two weeks.
Happily, the news has been welcomed by the owners of Dandelion Blue, the deli on Coulgate Street that is also due to open imminently. They believe that both shops offer a sufficiently different service that they will compliment each other. Together with the Broca and Matchbox, the area around the station is set to become the gourmet hub for Brockley, helping to ensure more custom throughout the day, rather than just during busy commuter periods.

Boeing is one of the largest companies in the
aviation world. Not only does the company have a vast military portfolio, but
it also has an enormous presence in the civilian aviation market with some of
the most popular passenger aircraft in the world. Boeing has celebrated the official
premiere of the latest civilian aircraft called the 747-8 Intercontinental.
The aircraft is the passenger version of a cargo
aircraft that Boeing has been working on for the past few years – the cargo
plane and its passenger version are both behind schedule. The first
flight for the 747-800 was conducted in February of 2010, almost exactly a year
Boeing unveiled the new 747-8
Intercontinental officially at an event with about 10,000 guests
including current and potential customers. Boeing is aiming the plane at the
400-500 seat market and claims that the new aircraft has unrivaled efficiency
and performance.
Boeing's CEO Jim Albaugh said, "The new 747-8
Intercontinental features the latest in innovative technologies — applying many
of the breakthroughs also found on the 787 Dreamliner. We think our customers
will value the low operating costs and passengers will enjoy the comfort of the
striking new interior."
So far the 747-8 has 33
orders on the books with 20 of the planes ordered for Lufthansa alone;
Korean Air Lines is on the hook for five of the aircraft reports Bloomberg.
Each of the aircraft sells for $317.5 million and will carry about 467
passengers in a three-class configuration.
Boeing thinks that the new 747-8 Intercontinental
is sized well to put pressure on the larger Airbus
A380 that seats about 525 passengers. Boeing's Elizabeth Lund said,
"With an A380, you run the risk of not filling every seat whenever you
fly. It's, we think, really the right size most of the time in most
Boeing notes that the 747-8 provides operators
with 12% lower costs to operate than its predecessor the 747-400. The 747-8
gets 16% better fuel economy, has 16% less carbon emissions per passenger, and
has a 30% smaller noise footprint. The aircraft also uses some interior
features from the 787 Dreamliner with curved and upswept interior architecture
that gives passengers the feeling of more space and adds more room for personal
USA Today notes
that the aircraft was lengthened
by 18.3-feet, making the 747-8 the longest jetliner in the world. The
hump that is familiar on Boeing's 747 has been lengthened a well to cover
double deck seating inside and is 13.3-feet longer than before.
The overall wingspan of the massive airliner is
224-feet and it is propelled by GEnx-2B67 engines built by GE. These engines
use about 30% fewer parts than other jet engines to reduce maintenance and the
chance of failure. The cruise speed for the 747-8 is Mach 0.86 or about 570
"As the only airplane in the 400 to 500-seat
market, the 747-8 Intercontinental will give operators an airplane perfectly
suited for long, heavily traveled routes around the world," said Pat
Shanahan, vice president and general manager, Airplane Programs, Boeing
Commercial Airplanes. "The new 747-8 Intercontinental will set a new
standard in economic and environmental performance, while providing a
world-class passenger experience."
