CHAOS RATINGS, KEENELAND, APRIL 15
There would seem to be a few longshot opportunities here, particularly in race eight and race eleven.
The HOPE (light face) vs NOPE (dark face) is an experiment that’s been run for the last three cards that were worked up for Chaos Ratings. The NOPE runners are 0-for 66 so far, although sooner or later some horse will break the evil spell.
RACE ONE (Chaos Rating 87, depth 5)
#7 Magical Power has a class edge of 8 points, which is unusually strong. With PletcheIrad as the human combo, there’s zero chance he will go off at playable odds. This expensive colt ran crazy good in a troubled debut, and has recorded two bullet since. A bounce is always a possibility but the potential for chaos here is low.

RACE TWO (82/4)
#6 Please Be Kind also has a big class advantage but many will be put off by those 14 failures. This filly has been paying the bills with minor checks, so maybe there’s no hurry to get her out of the overpaid maiden ranks?
https://preview.redd.it/1to5381nf2ua1.png?width=340&format=png&auto=webp&s=d543094b24c48a7dea29d732fb72ae47c06614ed
RACE THREE (126/10)
That’s the rhyming duo of Chad/Irad with #11 Portfolio Company -- and the public does bet that rhyme. But the Chaos Rating class system likes #12 Eyes On Target just as well, and the price will certainly be better. The HOPE list includes many others, so …
https://preview.redd.it/kqc6rrkof2ua1.png?width=340&format=png&auto=webp&s=4d89ef6cc8c01f54d69221f2c1aae055229030f7
RACE FOUR (94/4)
Bunched up on top of the class list are three horses, including the morning choice, #7 Implementation. Also on the HOPE side is Mac Robertson’s #2 Geaux Yoshka, a layoff colt whose only run in Lexington was a just-missed thriller at 35-1.
https://preview.redd.it/u925xjprf2ua1.png?width=340&format=png&auto=webp&s=d29de13d9045064f46572c4165b0fc4d0953926d

RACE FIVE (110/5)
#6 Baby Billy is listed at 10/1, has a win at this distance but has never visited Lexington. Neither has #4 Emperor’s Appeal, who ran tough at 22/1 last time. #9 Really Good has been here before, and can be forgiven in that sorry effort at the BC Juvenile.
https://preview.redd.it/g9l8ioruf2ua1.png?width=340&format=png&auto=webp&s=c8e8f41e73c690f9162319d90b696f74376bb4c2
RACE SIX (67/3)
Maiden fillies $100K and only three float to the top of the list, although with lightly raced horses, who knows? In gate #1 is Hurry Up Hannah, a Bill Cowans-trained filly who’s been working out at Turfway all winter and may finally be ready to show her stuff. The 10/1 morning line doesn’t seem like it will hold.
https://preview.redd.it/u1ne9ypwf2ua1.png?width=340&format=png&auto=webp&s=ccc5be4df93f7b96de7b9c4cb218e7573c8bf017

RACE SEVEN (90/5)
Deep closer Barber Road (#1) has earned $700,000 on only two wins. He cashed checks in the Arkansas Derby, Rebel, Southwest and Smarty Jones. He came cheap, too, a real boon for John Ortiz and Wss Racing. There’s a lot of early speed in this race, so maybe the Barber will give ‘em all a haircut. But 5/2? Come on, fellas.
https://preview.redd.it/dibxsgjyf2ua1.png?width=340&format=png&auto=webp&s=3338e257373f270b23ce69676bdee64f47afff2e
RACE EIGHT (147/12) THE GIANT’S CAUSEWAY
This turf sprint is ripe for chaos. The best guess of the morning scribe is #3 Happy Soul at a dubious 4/1. In the next gate will be Oeuvre (#4), addicted to winning (10-for-16!) but with speed figures probably inflated by the wonky Fairgrounds turf. Also a chronic winner is #1 Train to Artemus. But truly this is an ALL race and nobody, at any price, would be a surprise.
https://preview.redd.it/k3qv6ti0g2ua1.png?width=340&format=png&auto=webp&s=99e04da44d6e4d73c42642bff13044b4fad30936
RACE NINE (110/6) THE LEXINGTON G3
Six of these are within a few points of each other on the class list.
  • Street Sense colt First Mission (#5) gets the morning nod, after two brilliant runs in New Orleans. The combination of Brad Cox and Luis Saez will surely depress his odds.
  • #6 Disarm could squeeze onto the Kentucky Derby list with a win, after a runner-up showing in the Louisiana Derby. He’s a stalker in a race with 7 speedy horses. Nobody else has any Derby points and there’s only 20 at stake here.
  • #8 Empire Strkes Fast won his debut for Bill Mott at Gulfstream.
  • #11 Arabian Lion is a Baffert/Irad entry and ran the race of his life here in October.
  • #9 Prairie Hawk is listed at 15/1 and probably isn’t that bad.
  • #7 Denington, a 20/1 late runner, never had a chance in the LA Derby at 33-1 but has two longshot wins on his dance card.
https://preview.redd.it/qvhv94h2g2ua1.png?width=340&format=png&auto=webp&s=230f47c07d8e7e951c8a773a1aea4f767836cb8a
RACE TEN (80/5) THE JENNY WILEY
#2 In Italian and #1 Pizza Bianca could be a gourmet’s exacta. Seriously now, any horse can be beat but In Italian has all the credentials.
https://preview.redd.it/szkdyli4g2ua1.png?width=340&format=png&auto=webp&s=95f46e94efb95b72b1acfe4c8631b41f539448bc
RACE ELEVEN (142/10)
Brisnet’s top pick is Ova Charged, listed at 15/1 in the morning line. The mare has won 80% of her races! Somebody’s wrong, Brisnet or the Line. The crowd will tell us, and finally, the horses will confirm.
The front office fellas like #12 Tarabi, who has a class advantage but has been laid off for 6 months. The combination of DeVaux and Saez bodes well, but the 2/1 prediction is less than charming.
There’s a lot of speed in here, many horses good enough to win, and a very high potential for chaos.
https://preview.redd.it/80q24ir6g2ua1.png?width=340&format=png&auto=webp&s=23bfd952cc3692dc8c6b542735333dc2efa1bbec
KEY TO THE CHAOS RATINGS LIST
CHAOS RATING: The average race scores 100. A race rated under 90 is chalk-biased. At 120 or more, the longshot bias is strong.
DEPTH: The number of likely contenders.
THE LIST: This is not an attempt to pick obvious winners but to find hidden longshot value. There is no “best bet” because that depends on the tote board.
CLASS: A rating derived from the performance and class in the last similar race, with speed as a secondary factor. The most likely winners will be within 7 points of the leader.

CHAOS RATINGS, AQUEDUCT, APRIL 8
A lot of these races seem fairly shallow, and likely to produce low-price winners.
RACE ONE (chaos 93/depth 4)
#5 Union Lights seems to love the photo finish. #6 Patrick the Great (5/1) gets Brisnet’s vote, seems in good form and is trained —and partly owned — by Linda Rice.
https://preview.redd.it/tg04s8tvqhsa1.png?width=340&format=png&auto=webp&s=4240b7dc52312a5aa6ae085dc989852aeb562a98
RACE TWO (116/6)
One of the tougher races on the card, with a couple of promising firsters. There are at least five ways this one could go.
https://preview.redd.it/a5zgogfzqhsa1.png?width=340&format=png&auto=webp&s=bf0772ab1644816196aca80747348d17b4431c09
RACE THREE (102/3) THE GAZELLE
Brown trains two, Pletcher trains two in this mediocre edition of a storied race.
https://preview.redd.it/5i0wf0z0rhsa1.png?width=340&format=png&auto=webp&s=94a412b05ece292668fe560eb7181743bfd77873
RACE FOUR (101/3)
#4 Let it Ride may be a legit super-chalk. Up from Florida, though, so not certain he’ll handle the Big A.
https://preview.redd.it/7ohxcha3rhsa1.png?width=340&format=png&auto=webp&s=ed6580158405206ac5014dbdedb0d54bf7881473
RACE FIVE (103/5)
If the 1-entry holds it will of course be over-bet. Among the alternatives: #7 She’s Mo Bubbly rates higher in class. #5 Tryinmyheartout is a $400K filly trying grass for the first time, and should carry doube-digit odds.
https://preview.redd.it/aboql346rhsa1.png?width=340&format=png&auto=webp&s=e251833f0467feb9174729875dd9c5525fbb1724
RACE SIX (107/2) THE BAY SHORE
Another mediocre edition of a storied race. #5 Joe Freshwater is priced at 2/1, will likely sink on the board, and has a huge class advantage.
https://preview.redd.it/15jcyu68rhsa1.png?width=340&format=png&auto=webp&s=1c279e46c2dd2c9558ce6f215922edc997921043
RACE SEVEN (95/3)
The presumed favorite, #1 New Ginya is a late-charger who seems to love the photo finish.
#9 Collaboration won her last race and is 8/1. Sometimes those last-race winners jump class really well.
https://preview.redd.it/9wv7k7dcrhsa1.png?width=340&format=png&auto=webp&s=0feadd1b1f65577172270cb52beb2d0f35d63c55
RACE EIGHT (111/5) THE CARTER
#4 Repo Rocks has had a dramatic wakeup under Jamie Ness.
#2 Bold Journey embarrased the field last time but has been racing stat-breds.
#7 Doppelganger is 30/1 morning line, and doesn’t look anywhere near that bad.
#6 White Abarrio has been most effective at Gulfstream.
#5 Little Vic will be bet off a huge speed figure —earned in the mud.
https://preview.redd.it/izy97enerhsa1.png?width=340&format=png&auto=webp&s=23c0f5df101203e1ce1d2317553fb6ab7e060ce6
RACE NINE (84/3)
#6 Veronica Green, with a 5-point class advantage, looks tough.
https://preview.redd.it/wdqi9wlirhsa1.png?width=340&format=png&auto=webp&s=2e82454dde9be4d674dcf14788a6e8c002f4f6ba
RACE TEN (94/3)
Lots of question marks in here —as you’d expect in a turf sprint for maiden fillies and mares.
https://preview.redd.it/o26kbqgkrhsa1.png?width=340&format=png&auto=webp&s=7b947e8453078ec5298a306a03e8ee87b86d0ebe
RACE ELEVEN (134/4) THE WOOD MEMORIAL
#13 Hit Show likely has two serious challengers. But it’s a big field and the chaos potential is high. Who knows? The outside gate could prove a problem for Hit Show -- or maybe a good horse like Classic Catch of Slip Mahoney might run the race of his life?
Hit Show has already beaten a couple of his rivals in here, and by a convincing margin. He’s been stalking the pace, taking over in the stretch, and winning by daylight. #7 Arctic Arrogance may withstand the late rush this time, and is priced, for now, at 6/1.
https://preview.redd.it/m6w0zqwgshsa1.png?width=340&format=png&auto=webp&s=2e20c7aed4bff02fd9c1862fcd9063e97ee20bd8
KEY TO THE CHAOS RATINGS LIST
CHAOS RATING: The average race scores 100. A race rated below 90 is chalk-biased. At 120 or more, the longshot bias is strong.
CLASS: A rating derived from the performance and class in the last similar race, with speed as a secondary factor. The most likely winners will be within 7 points of the leader.
DEPTH: The number of horses within 7 class points of the leader.
THE LIST: This is not an attempt to pick obvious winners but to find hidden longshot value. There is no “best bet” because that depends on the tote board. Insisting on minimum odds of 4/1 produces the best results in this system.

2023.04.02 14:23 takeyopantiesoff Gulfstream 04/02

Win Picks
1 - #3 Winning Factor (5/2) - Fastest in a good bunch here. Gaffalione is cooling on the turf but should benefit from the step back in distance. The 6 is an unkown stetching out
2 - #4 Cruzin Man (9/2) - Stretching out to 5 1/2f with very good times at 5f. Upgrades to Irad and will have to hold off the 2 who had a monster run last time out on this surface/distance
3 - #6 You Looking At Me (12/1) - Coming off a layoff after running 2 solid races at this distance over at a slower Presque Isles AW track. Should find a little extra speed today and will have a solid shot against this less than impressive field
4 - #2 Rough Entry (7/2) - This horse was loaded last time out when facing similair competition and being forced out wide around the last turn. The cut back in distance should not be an issue for Irad and Crichton (Solid dirt trainer) in this very fast race
5 - #6 D. Silo (9/2) - Could very well improve here today. Jose will try to save some ground going around the last turn and close this horse down on the wire.
6 - #5 Z First (4/1) - This front runner is facing a field of stalkeclosers (excluding the 6) and will try to hold them all off. Most of the field is cutting back in distance so this should favor the 5 heavily who is coming off a very impressive win on this surface last time out at 1 1/16f. Gaffalione takes over
7 - #9 Fly the W (2/1) - An absolute monster on the Tapeta. Impossible to say this isn't the best horse in this field. The 4,5,6 will try to give him a run for his money today but with Saez repeating, it could be a multiple length win. The 4 looks like the biggest threat today
8 - #1 Chess Master (4/1) - Big races at Tampa last 2 times out at distance/surface. Saez takes over on the rail and with the early speed it should favor this post
9 - #9 Sophia's Storm (5/1) - Coming off 2 multy length wins in a row on this surface repeats with Chantal. She may have more horse than we saw in previous runs while she goes for 3 in a row against similair company. I really like the #11 Ghostly Night as well and with a jockey that refuses to win you may find that horse at a good price
10 - #2 Whisper Not (8/1) - This tank of a horse is coming off a long layoff after not running well in his last few starts. The works look good and hopefully the issues holding this horse back have been fixed. Walsh is solid on these types of layoffs. Saez takes over in a very open and competitive field. Should find a reasonable price at PT
11 - #10 Oolong Hai (6/1) - Repeats with Ortiz and will try to hold the lead this go around. Faces a lot of unknowns but on paper is the fastest to run in this group. Outside post should be favorable to this horses running style.
Goodluck Today Everyone!!!
Don't forget there is a mandatory payout today in the Pick 6 at Gulfstream

https://www.blockchain-council.org/blockchain/solana-vs-polygon-vs-ethereum/

Summary​

  • Solana, and Polygon and Ethereum are three prominent Blockchain platforms
  • Each network has its own set of development tools and resources
  • Solana uses Rust, while Polygon and Ethereum both support Solidity
  • All three networks can support NFT marketplaces, DeFi applications, DEXs, stablecoins, and payments
  • Solana and Polygon's high throughput and low transaction fees make them attractive options for gaming and other high transaction volume use cases
  • Ethereum's established developer community and network effects give it an advantage in terms of long-term adoption and usage
  • Ethereum has a wide range of projects, including Uniswap, MakerDAO, and Compound
  • Solana has Serum, Raydium, and Mango Markets, while Polygon has Aave, Curve Finance, and Sushiswap
Blockchain technology is one of the most talked-about technologies in the world right now. It has entered almost every segment, bringing its decentralized system for improvements over the existing technologies. With the entry of Blockchain, many different kinds of applications were also developed for these segments. It also gave birth to things like NFTs, decentralized finance, cryptocurrency, and a lot more. However, the demand for Blockchain platform apps has been increasing day by day, and due to this, the solutions for the same have been growing at a much faster pace.
📷
These applications are based on a particular Blockchain platform, out of which the most prominent are Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon. This article will not only provide detailed information about these three Blockchain platforms. Still, it will also list the major differences that set them apart and make them apt for different segments. While Ethereum has been one of the oldest and most used Blockchain platforms, Polygon and Solana have been the new players in the market, providing faster and better transactions for the users. While Ethereum has been a major leader in terms of Blockchain platforms, based on which most of the applications are made, its competitors have been trying to offer even more.
The article will allow you to understand the major difference between the three Blockchain platforms and which one you should opt for based on the type of application you want to develop. Architecture, Consensus, scalability, and transaction speeds are the main criteria based on which the Blockchain platforms will be differentiated. While the Ethereum platform is more about the features and security, Solana and Polygon are more about affordable rates, faster speeds, and scalability. Before looking into the difference between the three, let’s have a look at what the three Blockchain platforms actually are.

The platforms’ work irrespective of their value

One of the major misconceptions that people have, especially those who are new to this, is that the Blockchain platform’s performance is represented by the value it has while trading. First of all, the information is completely false. Before you pick up a Blockchain platform to create your apps on, be assured that the value does not affect it. Values of the cryptocurrency are just meant for trading alone. Ethereum is one of the most diversified platforms in terms of Blockchain application development. With Ethereum 2.0, it has more features and improvements than any other competitor.
Ethereum started a market where Blockchain platforms were used for NFTs and smart contracts. It led to further expansion of the market and led to the birth of competitors like Polygon and Solana. While Solana provides major competition to the Ethereum platform, Polygon is just behind it. Solana provides much faster transactions at a reduced cost when compared to Ethereum and Polygon, while Polygon provides faster transaction speeds. However, Ethereum still stands as the most diverse and transparent landscape of decentralized applications.

Why Should You Care About Solana vs. Polygon vs. Ethereum?

The emergence of Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies has ushered in a new era of finance, challenging conventional value exchange methods. The importance of Blockchain technology in the market is growing as the market changes. Blockchain technology is the backbone of the cryptocurrency industry, allowing users to perform transactions without a central authority. The technology revolves around smart contracts, which automate the contract execution, enforcement, and verification processes. Solana, Polygon, and Ethereum are all Blockchain technologies that handle smart contracts effectively, making them ideally suited for the development of decentralized apps (dApps).
Ethereum is a pioneer in smart contract technology, since its Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) enables programmers to write smart contracts in a number of programming languages. However, because of network congestion, transaction costs have increased, making the platform less accessible for minor transactions. This is something that Solana and Polygon excel at.
Solana and Polygon have been developed with high throughput and quick transaction speeds, making them appropriate for applications requiring inexpensive and quick transactions. Solana can process up to 65,000 transactions per second, whereas Ethereum can only handle approximately 30 transactions per second. Polygon (formerly Matic Network) is a Layer 2 scaling solution that enables rapid, low-cost transactions and allows developers to build decentralized applications on top of it.
All three Blockchain systems use Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus algorithms to ensure security, which requires users to stake tokens in order to participate in the validation process. Proof of Stake (PoS) algorithms consume less energy than Proof of Work (PoW) algorithms, making them a more environmentally friendly choice for Blockchain technologies. On the other hand, Solana’s PoS consensus process is meant to be more secure than Ethereum’s, giving protection from a range of threats.
The interoperability of Solana and Polygon across chains is an additional advantage. Solana was built with interoperability in mind, allowing it to connect with other Blockchains like Ethereum and Bitcoin. Polygon, on the other hand, is a Layer 2 scaling solution that can be easily integrated with Ethereum, enabling decentralized applications to access the Ethereum network while benefiting from Polygon’s faster and cheaper transactions.
Solana and Polygon offer scaling solutions for Layer 2 that enable developers to create dApps with cheap transaction fees, making them more accessible to the general public. Ethereum 2.0 will be more scalable and energy-efficient than its predecessor. However, the shift to the new PoS consensus algorithm and sharding technology is still happening, and it may take some time to get the full benefits of Ethereum 2.0.
DeFi and NFTs are two of the most common use cases for Blockchain technology, and they are completely supported by all three Blockchain systems. With Solana and Polygon’s faster and cheaper transactions, developers may build DeFi applications and NFT marketplaces that are more accessible to a larger audience.
Solana, Polygon, and Ethereum are all advanced Blockchain technologies that offer a unique set of characteristics. Solana and Polygon feature faster and cheaper transactions, cross-chain interoperability, more secure PoS consensus methods, and robust support for DeFi and NFT use cases, whereas Ethereum was the first to provide smart contracts. As the cryptocurrency market evolves, it is vital to comprehend the pros and cons of each technology in order to make well-informed decisions regarding their application.

We mentioned the major details of all the three Blockchain platforms above, however, as a Blockchain application developer, which one should you go for.
Now we will discuss the major difference between all the three Blockchain platforms which makes them suitable for multiple Blockchain applications.

Consensus mechanisms and block confirmation times

It is one mandatory procedure that you will find among all the decentralized Blockchain platforms. It is what helps to reach an agreement on the present state of the network. What Ethereum follows is PoW or Proof of Work mechanism of consensus. The problem with Ethereum is the requirement of high processing power. Due to this, it does not allow the scope for multiple users to participate in this, although it allows miners globally to participate in the consensus. Since processing power requirement is high, it also takes a toll on the performance but ensures better security.
With Polygon, you can get a consensus-based on PoS or Proof of Stake. If a user takes on the Polygon network, they can earn rewards in the form of Matic taken. Since it offers a combination of technologies, the consensus can be achieved faster. Solana on the other hand has a unique approach to consensus mechanism. Since it provides one of the fastest transaction speeds, the mechanism offers efficient operation. It uses an array of computations to know the ideal verification method of the time gap between two events. It can be called a Hybrid form of consensus with the best features of PoW, PoS, and PoH, which is Proof of History. It allows for more flexibility in sorting transactions. It is why Solana can process up to 65,000 transactions in a second.

Transaction Speed

The speed of transactions on a Blockchain platform is one of the major factors that helps the developer decide the platform they need to work on. When it comes to transaction speeds, the slowest among them is Ethereum. Now every participant in Ethereum has a copy of the digital ledger, and the holder takes care of the operation and management of the network. Now Ethereum is one of the most used and popular Blockchain platforms, due to which it has a lot of crowd waiting to verify their transactions. Therefore, the participant will either have to wait for a long time or pay a huge fee for verification. Due to this, only a limited number of transactions are processed every second, which can range between 27-30.
When it comes to Solana and Polygon, they are way ahead in terms of transaction speeds and offer 50,000-65,000 transactions per second which are a lot faster. Solana depends on Tower Byzantine Fault Tolerance of TBFT which prevents real-time communication among nodes and reduces the time taken, increasing efficiency overall. Polygon on the other hand has the fastest speed. Since it provides a hybrid environment, it has the fastest transaction speed of 65,000 transactions a second.

Architecture

Another important factor that the developers consider is the architecture. The architecture defines the state of the Blockchain network and if it can modify variable values. Ethereum has undoubtedly one of the best stateful architectures among the competition due to which it is widely used for making apps on the Blockchain platform. The platform records all the transactions in the existing state and copies of the latest transactions are immediately coined to mirror the recent transactions. It is an effective network but is slower when compared to stateless networks.
Polygon comes with the idea of a borderless society and economy where it works like POS Blockchain and exchanges are present in the form of clusters. Solana on the other hand is based on a cluster architecture that works on Solana clusters. It is basically a collection of validators that together address the client transactions with ledger maintenance. Every cluster has its own validator and the roles of each validator continue to rotate among them. The leader of the cluster will build and timestamp the transaction with PoH consensus. It is a stateless architecture and due to this, the whole state of Solana architecture does not need to update every time. It is why both Solana and Polygon are very efficient and provide faster transactions.

Scalability

It is one of the most critical factors that the developer should look after before selecting a platform for Blockchain app development. It shows if the network is scalable to ensure the completion of the transaction. With Ethereum, the transaction speed is 15 transactions per second, which is less when compared to the competitors. However, the layer 2 scaling with multichain network support resolves the scalability issue. Solana can process 65,000 transactions a second, due to which scalability issues do not exist in it. The users have access to faster transaction speeds, a better consensus model, and efficient architecture. Polygon offers a similar kind of scalability as Solana with even improved transaction speeds.

Profit and loss

Ethereum exhibits Solidity in the profit and loss mechanism. Decentralized and designed as a protocol, Solana incorporates an innovative Proof-of-History (PoH) mechanism. This mechanism enables its Proof-of-Stake (PoS) protocol structure to operate more efficiently.
Polygon follows Golang, solidity, and Vyper in the p/l equation.

Famous projects

Solana, Polygon, and Ethereum are now home to some of the most innovative and successful Blockchain ventures to date. Let’s take a closer look at some of the well-known projects built on these three platforms.
  • One of the most well-known Ethereum initiatives is Uniswap. It is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that allows users to trade ERC-20 tokens without the need for intermediaries. With a daily trade volume of more than $1 billion, Uniswap has become one of the most popular DEXs. Another noteworthy initiative is Aave, a DeFi lending technology that allows users to borrow and lend cryptocurrency. Aave has amassed billions in total value locked (TVL) and has established itself as a pillar in the DeFi industry.
  • The Solana-based DEX Serum has gained significant traction. It was designed for efficient and low-cost trading, and its order book structure allows it to handle massive transaction volumes. Serum has attracted several prominent partnerships, including Bonfida and Raydium. Raydium, a liquidity provider and DEX aggregator on Solana, has grown in popularity due to the speed and low cost of its transactions.
  • Other notable projects have also been created on Polygon’s platform. The NFT-based gaming platform Aavegotchi has quickly become one of Polygon’s most popular decentralized applications. Users can purchase and sell ghost-themed non-fungible tokens for use in games and events. QuickSwap, a Polygon-based DEX, has also gained popularity due to its low transaction costs and speed. It has become a popular alternative to Ethereum-based DEXs.

Transaction number

In each second, 30 Ethereum transactions can be done. Solana allows up to 65,000 worth of transactions per second. Polygon allows up to 65,000 transactions per second.

Transaction fees and gas prices

  • The gas fees on Ethereum are notoriously high, particularly during times of high network congestion. As the Ethereum network has grown in popularity, so have gas prices, with fees frequently reaching several hundred dollars per transaction during peak usage periods. As a result, smaller transactions on the network have become increasingly difficult, leading to the rise of layer 2 scaling solutions.
  • In comparison to Ethereum, Polygon has much lower gas prices and transaction fees. This is due in part to the network’s Proof of Stake consensus algorithm, which reduces network energy consumption and costs. Polygon also offers a number of layer 2 scaling solutions that enable quick and low-cost transactions.
  • Solana also has extremely low transaction fees, with only a few cents charged per transaction. Because of the network’s high throughput and efficient consensus algorithm, transactions are quick and inexpensive, making it an appealing option for users looking for a more affordable Blockchain solution.

Smart contract languages and tooling

Smart contracts on Ethereum are written in Solidity. It is a programming language built exclusively for the Ethereum ecosystem. Solidity is a high-level programming language that compiles to EVM bytecode. It enables developers to construct bespoke logic for decentralized applications. However, Solidity has a steep learning curve, and building safe smart contracts might be difficult for inexperienced programmers.
In contrast, Solana and Polygon have picked Rust as their primary smart contract development language. Rust is a secure and fast programming language that has gained popularity in recent years due to its memory safety and speed. It provides a more accessible and streamlined development environment. This makes it easier for developers to construct secure smart contracts.
Moreover, both Solana and Polygon provide considerable developer toolings support, such as Solana Studio and Truffle Suite, respectively. These tools simplify the development process, including debugging, deployment, and testing, making it easier for developers to construct and deploy decentralized applications on their respective platforms.

Ecosystem and developer community

Ethereum is unquestionably the reigning champion in this category, as its ecosystem has been expanding and maturing for years. With a large developer community, robust development tools, and frameworks, Ethereum provides developers with a vast array of options for building decentralized applications and smart contracts. It is home to some of the most innovative and successful Blockchain projects, including Uniswap, Compound, and MakerDAO.
Solana, on the other hand, has focused on luring programmers who wish to create high-throughput and high-speed applications, such as DeFi and NFTs. It has already established partnerships with a number of DeFi and NFT projects, including Serum, Mango Markets, and Degenerate Ape Academy, which are attracting developers and users to its platform. Developers are beginning to take notice of Solana’s unique features, such as its lightning-fast transaction speed and scalability.
Polygon, formerly known as Matic Network, has carved out a distinct market niche by providing Layer 2 scaling solutions for Ethereum’s current scalability and high gas fees problems. Polygon has partnered with leading Blockchain projects, such as Aave, SushiSwap, and Curve Finance, to build an ecosystem of growing applications on its platform. Its Layer 2 solutions have made it easier and less expensive for developers to build on the Ethereum network, attracting developers and investors seeking an alternative to Ethereum’s current problems.
Ethereum has the advantage of being the first and most prominent platform for decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts, but Solana and Polygon are rapidly growing and attracting developers with their distinctive features and benefits. Competition between these platforms ultimately benefits the entire Blockchain ecosystem because it drives innovation and encourages the creation of new applications and use cases.

2022.12.17 00:51 No-Cheesecake-8472 FRIDAY, 16 DECEMBER 2022 Rolls-Royce and Gulfstream give wings to sustainable business aviation

Rolls-Royce and Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. are leading the way towards sustainable business aviation by conducting the first original equipment manufacturer test flight of an ultralong-range business jet powered by 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The test took place on the BR725-powered Gulfstream G650 twin-jet over Gulfstream’s headquarters in Savannah, Georgia.
Demonstrating that current Rolls-Royce engines for business jet and large civil applications can operate with 100% SAF as a full “drop-in” option, this test lays the groundwork for moving this type of fuel towards certification. At present, SAF is only certified for blends of up to 50% with conventional jet fuel and can be used on all current Rolls-Royce engines.
The SAF that was used in the test consists of two components: HEFA (Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids), produced from waste fat and waste plant oils by low-carbon fuel specialist World Energy in Paramount, California, and (SAK) Synthesised Aromatic Kerosene made from waste plant-based sugars by Wisconsin-based Virent Inc. This innovative and fully sustainable fuel in development eliminates the need for the addition of further petroleum-based components and enables a 100% drop-in SAF that can be used in existing jet engines and infrastructure without any modifications. This sustainable fuel has the potential to reduce net CO2 lifecycle emissions by about 80% compared to conventional jet fuel, with the possibility of further reductions in future.
Dr Joerg Au, Chief Engineer – Business Aviation and Engineering Director Rolls-Royce Deutschland, said: “Sustainable aviation fuels are essential for the decarbonisation of the skies, as they have the potential to significantly reduce the carbon emissions of aviation and we have already proved they can be used as a drop-in fuel to power existing engines. This flight test with Gulfstream is another proof point that demonstrates the compatibility of our engines with SAF, bringing us another important step closer to enabling our customers to achieve net zero carbon emissions.”
“At Gulfstream, leading our industry closer to decarbonization is a long-standing priority, and testing, evaluating and promoting new developments in SAF takes us another step closer to that goal,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. “We are grateful for our partnership with Rolls‑Royce to be able to demonstrate yet another milestone in these efforts.
The BR725-powered G650 aircraft family holds more than 120 world speed records, including the speed record for the farthest flight in business aviation history. With more than 500 aircraft in service, the G650 and its sister aircraft, the Gulfstream G650ER, prove they are among the most trusted business jets in the world. Since its entry into service in 2012, the G650 aircraft family has established a reputation for excellent reliability, efficiency, and speed, combined with outstanding environmental performance.

2022.10.04 16:49 assessment_bot [2 Fatal] [August 28 2020] Rockwell 500, Pembroke Park/ FL USA

NTSB Preliminary Narrative

HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn August 28, 2020, about 0902 eastern daylight time, an Aero Commander 500-S, N900DT, was destroyed when it impacted a building near Pembroke Park, Florida. The commercial pilot and airline transport pilot were fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91 familiarization flight.
The purpose of the flight was for the right-seat pilot, who was pilot-in-command, to familiarize the left-seat pilot with the airplane. Two individuals associated with the facility that maintained the airplane asked the pilot whether he wanted to fuel the airplane or have it towed to the fuel pump. The pilot responded that he planned to fuel the airplane at the intended destination, Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF), Miami, Florida.
According to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) and air traffic control information, after takeoff about 0852, the airplane proceeded in a southeast direction to the shore, then flew in a south-southwest direction just offshore. About 0858, when the airplane was about 13 nautical miles northeast of OPF, an occupant of the airplane contacted the OPF air traffic control tower and advised the controller that the airplane was inbound. The airplane continued in a south-southwesterly direction while climbing to 1,100 ft mean sea level (msl). At 0859:49, or 1 minute 49 seconds after the initial contact with the tower controller, an occupant advised the controller of an “engine problem” and that they would be diverting to North Perry Airport (HWO), Hollywood, Florida. The controller approved the frequency change and initially coordinated with Miami Approach and advised the facility that the airplane was descending, with a last reported altitude of 300 ft. At 0859:53, the airplane turned to the southwest and climbed to about 1,250 ft msl. A witness located about 2.8 nautical miles east-southeast of the flightpath reported hearing the engines accelerating and decelerating, which changed to a popping sound. The airplane continued flying out of his earshot. The ADS-B data reflected that, at 0900:47, the airplane turned and flew in a west-northwesterly direction until 0901:58, when it proceeded in a north-northwesterly direction until near the accident site. Witnesses on a golf course north of the accident site reported seeing the airplane flying in a westerly direction with no sound coming from the engines. They noted that the airplane banked left and descended. Another witness, located about 440 ft northeast of the accident site, reported hearing no sound from the airplane before impact. The witness reported that the right wing impacted the building and the airplane rotated to the left. The airplane then fell to the parking lot of the building. There were no ground injuries. PERSONNEL INFORMATIONThe pilot seated in the right seat was the chief pilot for a 14 CFR Part 135 cargo operation. He was tasked by his company to familiarize company pilots in the airplane. The mobile phone of the left seat pilot did not contain any video of the accident date or personal data (text messages, emails, personal photos/videos, app usage) relevant to the investigation. It did contain a series of google searches and visited web pages related to airplane performance taken 5 days before the accident and one video taken 4 days before the accident, which depicted the accident airplane taxiing on an airport ramp. There was nothing anomalous about the accident aircraft’s operation or condition displayed in the video. AIRCRAFT INFORMATIONThe airplane was manufactured in 1969. At the time of manufacture, certification standards specified that the fuel quantity gauge shall be calibrated to read zero during level flight when the quantity of fuel remaining in the tank is equal to the unusable fuel supply.
The airplane’s fuel system comprised five interconnected synthetic rubber cells installed in the inboard and center wing sections, having a total usable capacity of 156 gallons. All fuel cells were serviced through a single filler port, located on top of the right wing above the forward fuel cell. The fuel quantity was measured by a single transmitter or tank unit installed in the center wing fuel cell and electrically connected to a fuel quantity indicator located in the instrument panel. An optional Fuel Low Level Warning System was not installed.
Section II of the maintenance manual, titled “Ground Handling, Servicing and Airframe Maintenance,” contained special inspection requirements for the fuel system which indicated, “whenever any component which would effect calibration is replaced and every 1,000 hours or annual” to, “check fuel quantity system for correct calibration.” It also indicated that, every 1,000 hours, the transmitter be checked for specified wiper arm tension and internal corrosion, the cover, and connector plug for safety.
The airplane’s most recent annual inspection was signed off as being completed on August 14, 2020, “[in accordance with 14 CFR Part] 43 Appendix D, using Aero Commander 500 S [Maintenance Manual] CH 5 [inspection] checklist as a guide….” The recorded airplane total time at the annual inspection was 10,300.9 hours.
Appendix D of 14 CFR Part 43 specified to inspect, in part, the, “Instruments--for poor condition, mounting, marking, and (where practicable) improper operation.” The Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Airframe and Powerplant 100 Hour Inspection Form utilized by the maintenance facility for the last annual inspection specified in part, “Check all instruments” with a mechanic’s initials next to the line. Neither 14 CFR Part 43 Appendix D or the inspection form utilized by the facility specified calibrating the fuel quantity indicating system.
A review of nearly 51 years of available maintenance records for work performed to the tank unit or fuel quantity transmitter, fuel quantity gauge, or calibration of the fuel quantity indicating system revealed one entry on December 11, 1981. The entry indicated, in part, that a 1,000-hour inspection of the tank unit or fuel quantity transmitter was performed at an airplane total time of 3,086.0 hours. Although replacement of the fuel quantity indicator was not documented in the maintenance records, its markings indicated that it was manufactured on January 31, 1983. Thus, the airplane had been operated about 7,215 hours and nearly 39 years since the last documented work was performed to the fuel quantity transmitter and a maximum of about 37 1/2 years since the fuel quantity indicator was replaced.
The pilot was reportedly advised by maintenance personnel to operate the engines with the mixture controls full rich because both engines had been “top overhauled” in February 2019, and were still being broken in. As of the annual inspection two weeks earlier, the airplane had accrued between 2 and 33 hours since the cylinder work for both engines was performed.
According to the engine Operator’s Manual, following cylinder replacement or top overhaul of one or more cylinders until a total of 50 hours has been accumulated, cruise flight should be performed at 65% to 75% power. It did not specify that the engine must be operated with the mixture control full rich, but did state that for maximum service life, cylinder head temperatures should be maintained below 435°F during high performance cruise and below 400°F for economy cruise power settings.
According to flight planning data from the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM), the fuel required for engine start, taxi, run-up and takeoff was 25 pounds, or about 4.2 gallons. The fuel flow in terms of pounds-per-hour (pph) of each engine at 65% and 75% power varied with engine rpm and whether the fuel-to-air ratio was leaned to best power (leaned to peak exhaust gas temperature (EGT) then enrichened 150°F), or best economy (leaned to peak EGT). At 65% power, the fuel flow ranged from 74 to 92 pph. The fuel flow at 75% power ranged from 86 to 103 pph. The AFM did not have any fuel consumption data for full rich mixture settings.
The airplane was most recently fueled with 51.4 gallons of 100 low lead aviation fuel on August 19, 2020, at OPF. According to an individual who performed the fueling, the fuel request was a top off. He indicated that he completely topped off, “1 tank on the right wing while the crew was present. Also, [the accident flight right seat pilot by name] checked the fuel tank after I was done and told me that it was ok. That is when I disconnected & finished up.”
Based on ADS-B data since fueling excluding the accident flight, the airplane had been operated about 3 hours 42 minutes on three separate flights, the last being August 24, 2020. In some instances, the ADS-B data did not include taxi times; therefore, the actual duration of the flights since fueling including taxi time could not be determined. The pilot of the accident flight was on board the airplane during all three flights. Fuel consumption calculations were performed using the lowest and highest fuel flow range specified by the airframe manufacturer at 65% and 75% power, multiplied by 3.75 hours, plus fuel used for three takeoffs (12.6 gallons). The calculated total consumption since fueling, excluding the accident flight, was between about 105 and 141 gallons.
Postaccident calculations to determine the approximate amount of fuel on board to start the flight and then fly 10 minutes (accident flight duration) were performed. The calculations included the amount of fuel used for engine start through takeoff (4.2 gallons), the lowest and highest fuel flow range specified by the airframe manufacturer at 65% and 75% power, multiplied by the accident flight duration (.16 hour). Between 8 and 10 gallons were required. That amount did not include the unusable fuel amount.
A review of reports from the FAA Service Difficulty Program for the 500 series aircraft fuel system from January 1, 2012 through June 28, 2022, revealed two reports, both in 2012. One report was associated with an off-airport forced landing of a model 500B airplane due to “fuel starvation” though the fuel gauge indicated 60 gallons of fuel. A mechanic found a broken wire in the transmitter variable contact of the tank unit or fuel transmitter that was same part number as the one installed in the accident airplane. That incident was not investigated by NTSB. The other report, also associated with a 500B airplane, indicated that, as a result of the off-airport forced landing of the other airplane due to “fuel starvation,” they inspected the tank unit or fuel transmitter and found a “…brittle wire on the transmitter variable contact making [intermittent] connection.” The submitter suggested an internal inspection of the tank unit or fuel transmitter at 100-hour and/or annual inspections to verify that all contacts, wires, and internal parts are secure, in good condition and working properly. AIRPORT INFORMATIONThe airplane was manufactured in 1969. At the time of manufacture, certification standards specified that the fuel quantity gauge shall be calibrated to read zero during level flight when the quantity of fuel remaining in the tank is equal to the unusable fuel supply.
The airplane’s fuel system comprised five interconnected synthetic rubber cells installed in the inboard and center wing sections, having a total usable capacity of 156 gallons. All fuel cells were serviced through a single filler port, located on top of the right wing above the forward fuel cell. The fuel quantity was measured by a single transmitter or tank unit installed in the center wing fuel cell and electrically connected to a fuel quantity indicator located in the instrument panel. An optional Fuel Low Level Warning System was not installed.
Section II of the maintenance manual, titled “Ground Handling, Servicing and Airframe Maintenance,” contained special inspection requirements for the fuel system which indicated, “whenever any component which would effect calibration is replaced and every 1,000 hours or annual” to, “check fuel quantity system for correct calibration.” It also indicated that, every 1,000 hours, the transmitter be checked for specified wiper arm tension and internal corrosion, the cover, and connector plug for safety.
The airplane’s most recent annual inspection was signed off as being completed on August 14, 2020, “[in accordance with 14 CFR Part] 43 Appendix D, using Aero Commander 500 S [Maintenance Manual] CH 5 [inspection] checklist as a guide….” The recorded airplane total time at the annual inspection was 10,300.9 hours.
Appendix D of 14 CFR Part 43 specified to inspect, in part, the, “Instruments--for poor condition, mounting, marking, and (where practicable) improper operation.” The Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Airframe and Powerplant 100 Hour Inspection Form utilized by the maintenance facility for the last annual inspection specified in part, “Check all instruments” with a mechanic’s initials next to the line. Neither 14 CFR Part 43 Appendix D or the inspection form utilized by the facility specified calibrating the fuel quantity indicating system.
A review of nearly 51 years of available maintenance records for work performed to the tank unit or fuel quantity transmitter, fuel quantity gauge, or calibration of the fuel quantity indicating system revealed one entry on December 11, 1981. The entry indicated, in part, that a 1,000-hour inspection of the tank unit or fuel quantity transmitter was performed at an airplane total time of 3,086.0 hours. Although replacement of the fuel quantity indicator was not documented in the maintenance records, its markings indicated that it was manufactured on January 31, 1983. Thus, the airplane had been operated about 7,215 hours and nearly 39 years since the last documented work was performed to the fuel quantity transmitter and a maximum of about 37 1/2 years since the fuel quantity indicator was replaced.
The pilot was reportedly advised by maintenance personnel to operate the engines with the mixture controls full rich because both engines had been “top overhauled” in February 2019, and were still being broken in. As of the annual inspection two weeks earlier, the airplane had accrued between 2 and 33 hours since the cylinder work for both engines was performed.
According to the engine Operator’s Manual, following cylinder replacement or top overhaul of one or more cylinders until a total of 50 hours has been accumulated, cruise flight should be performed at 65% to 75% power. It did not specify that the engine must be operated with the mixture control full rich, but did state that for maximum service life, cylinder head temperatures should be maintained below 435°F during high performance cruise and below 400°F for economy cruise power settings.
According to flight planning data from the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM), the fuel required for engine start, taxi, run-up and takeoff was 25 pounds, or about 4.2 gallons. The fuel flow in terms of pounds-per-hour (pph) of each engine at 65% and 75% power varied with engine rpm and whether the fuel-to-air ratio was leaned to best power (leaned to peak exhaust gas temperature (EGT) then enrichened 150°F), or best economy (leaned to peak EGT). At 65% power, the fuel flow ranged from 74 to 92 pph. The fuel flow at 75% power ranged from 86 to 103 pph. The AFM did not have any fuel consumption data for full rich mixture settings.
The airplane was most recently fueled with 51.4 gallons of 100 low lead aviation fuel on August 19, 2020, at OPF. According to an individual who performed the fueling, the fuel request was a top off. He indicated that he completely topped off, “1 tank on the right wing while the crew was present. Also, [the accident flight right seat pilot by name] checked the fuel tank after I was done and told me that it was ok. That is when I disconnected & finished up.”
Based on ADS-B data since fueling excluding the accident flight, the airplane had been operated about 3 hours 42 minutes on three separate flights, the last being August 24, 2020. In some instances, the ADS-B data did not include taxi times; therefore, the actual duration of the flights since fueling including taxi time could not be determined. The pilot of the accident flight was on board the airplane during all three flights. Fuel consumption calculations were performed using the lowest and highest fuel flow range specified by the airframe manufacturer at 65% and 75% power, multiplied by 3.75 hours, plus fuel used for three takeoffs (12.6 gallons). The calculated total consumption since fueling, excluding the accident flight, was between about 105 and 141 gallons.
Postaccident calculations to determine the approximate amount of fuel on board to start the flight and then fly 10 minutes (accident flight duration) were performed. The calculations included the amount of fuel used for engine start through takeoff (4.2 gallons), the lowest and highest fuel flow range specified by the airframe manufacturer at 65% and 75% power, multiplied by the accident flight duration (.16 hour). Between 8 and 10 gallons were required. That amount did not include the unusable fuel amount.
A review of reports from the FAA Service Difficulty Program for the 500 series aircraft fuel system from January 1, 2012 through June 28, 2022, revealed two reports, both in 2012. One report was associated with an off-airport forced landing of a model 500B airplane due to “fuel starvation” though the fuel gauge indicated 60 gallons of fuel. A mechanic found a broken wire in the transmitter variable contact of the tank unit or fuel transmitter that was same part number as the one installed in the accident airplane. That incident was not investigated by NTSB. The other report, also associated with a 500B airplane, indicated that, as a result of the off-airport forced landing of the other airplane due to “fuel starvation,” they inspected the tank unit or fuel transmitter and found a “…brittle wire on the transmitter variable contact making [intermittent] connection.” The submitter suggested an internal inspection of the tank unit or fuel transmitter at 100-hour and/or annual inspections to verify that all contacts, wires, and internal parts are secure, in good condition and working properly. WRECKAGE AND IMPACT INFORMATIONExamination of the accident site by an FAA airworthiness inspector revealed an impact mark on the building which depicted the airplane in an approximate 35° right bank. The wreckage came to rest on the ground adjacent to the building. The inspector reported no smell of fuel at the accident site, but oil leakage on the ground was noted.
Examination of the wreckage revealed no evidence of fire. The front portion of the fuselage was completely fragmented due to the impact with the building. The wings were still attached but were heavily impact damaged; both engines were separated from the wings. The aft empennage was separated but remained attached by control cables and wiring. The right main landing gear was down and locked. All elevator, rudder, and left aileron flight controls remained attached. Binding was noted during check of the elevator and rudder flight controls that was attributed to impact damage. The rudder trim tab was positioned tab trailing edge left (tail-left nose right). According to a representative of the airframe manufacturer, the rudder trim tab was set to between 0 and 0.025° tab trailing edge left deflection, which would be considered 0° trim. The left elevator trim tab was set to between .5° to .75° trailing edge up deflection, while the right elevator trim tab was set to between 0° to .05° trailing edge up deflection which would be considered 0° trim. The airframe manufacturer representative stated that the difference between the left and right elevator trim tabs could only happen if the drive chain was 1 to 2 teeth off from center.
During an examination of the fuel system, 5 ounces of fuel were noted in the left front fuel tank, 11 ounces of fuel were noted in the left rear fuel tank, and 7 ounces of fuel were in the right rear fuel tank. No fuel was noted in the right front, or center fuel tank, though the bladder of the right front tank and the daily drain valve of the center fuel tank were impact damaged. No water was detected in the recovered fuel. The inspector noted very minimal fuel leakage by the left airframe fuel strainer and fractured right fuel lines.
Examination of the cockpit revealed that the fuel quantity indicator connector was broken at the indicator; the indicator case and display were destroyed by impact forces, and the pointer needle was separated from the faceplate. There was no visible needle slap mark noted on the fuel quantity gauge faceplate. The flap selector was in the down position. The hydraulically-operated left flap visually appeared to be extended between 10° and 15°, but the position at impact could not be determined. Examination of the throttle quadrant revealed that the left and right throttle controls were 3/4 full forward and full forward, respectively. The left propeller control was full forward while the right propeller control was bent to the right and the center of the lever was midpoint of the marking for the normal operating range and feather range. Both mixture controls were full forward. The left fuel boost pump switch was on, and the left engine ignition selector was on the left magneto position.
Examination of the fuel quantity indicating system electrical wiring revealed continuity of all electrical wires from the fuel quantity indicator to the tank unit or fuel quantity transmitter, and from two wires to the dampening capacitors. An open circuit was noted between pins B to C and A to C of the tank unit, or fuel quantity transmitter, which was retained.
Examination of the tank unit or fuel quantity transmitter, part number (P/N) EA515B-1404M, revealed that the resistance between Pins A and B, which were the ends of the resistor element inside the housing, fell within 5 ohms of the specification. When monitoring the potentiometer Pin C, there was no resistance, indicating an open circuit between the wiper and the resistor element. This condition prevented operational testing. No null spots in the resistor element were identified, and the wiper maintained contact with the resistor element throughout the float arm travel. There were no visual signs of structural damage to the wires, resistor element, or wiper inside the housing. The open circuit between the back of the wiper to connector pin C did not change with slight physical movement of the electrical wire. X-ray imaging revealed the conductor of electrical wire PN EA7959 was fractured between the end of the lugs at the wiper and for pin C. Bypassing the fractured conductor, the resistive readings followed the position of the float arm consistent with normal operation. Visual examination of the wire insulation revealed no evidence of shorting, burning or damage.
A representative of the airplane manufacturer reported that, with the fractured conductor of the tank unit or fuel transmitter, the fuel gauge can read at extreme ends of the gauge or respond erratically.
Examination of the fractured electrical conductor by the NTSB Materials Laboratory revealed the estimated total length of the wire (before fracture) was within limits. After cleaning, many of the individual wires exhibited intergranular fracture surface features with fatigue striations in various directions on some individual grains. No ductile fracture features, such as microvoids, were observed on any of the wire fracture surfaces. Several wires had mechanically damaged fracture faces with few features to examine. Energy dispersive spectrometric confirmed the wire to be silver-coated copper wire.
Extensive impact damage to both engines precluded crankshaft rotation. The exhaust and intake tubing of both engines were impact damaged and partially separated. The fuel metering and magnetos for both engines were either completely or partially separated from the engine. Following removal of cylinders Nos. 2, 4, and 6 from both engines, crankshaft, camshaft, and connecting rod continuity was visually confirmed for both engines. No damage other than impact damage was noted to the cylinders, valves, valve rockers, pushrods, pistons, or piston pins. The interiors of the Nos. 1, 3, and 5 cylinders of both engines were viewed using a lighted borescope and no anomalies of either engine were noted. Examination of the fuel system components for both engines revealed no evidence of preimpact failure or malfunction. Residual fuel was noted in the fuel diaphragm area of both servo fuel injectors, while a red-colored liquid consistent with preservative oil was noted in the air side of the right servo fuel injector. Examination of the ignition and lubrication systems of both engines revealed no evidence of preimpact failure or malfunction. Impact marks on the preload plates for the left propeller indicated that the propeller blade angle was about 22.5°, while the impact marks on the preload plates of the right propeller indicated the propeller blade angle was between 8° to 19°. For both propellers, the low pitch stop was 12.75° + or – 0.25°, and the start lock was 18.25° + or – 1.5°. An impact mark on the right propeller low pitch stop was consistent with the blade angles at or near the low pitch angle. The damage to the blade retention pocket indicated the impact forces were predominately in the aft direction. There was no evidence of preimpact failure or malfunction of either propeller. MEDICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL INFORMATIONForensic toxicology was performed on specimens of both pilots by the FAA Forensic Sciences Laboratory and the Broward County Office of the Medical Examiner and Trauma Services.
Toxicological testing performed by the FAA identified ethanol in the left-seat pilot’s brain tissue at 0.012 gm/hg, muscle tissue at 0.011 gm/hg, and urine at 0.013 grams per deciliter (gm/dL). N-propanol was detected in his urine and his tissues were reported to have exhibited putrefaction. The non-impairing over-the- counter heartburn medicine famotidine (commonly marketed as Pepcid) was detected in the submitted liver tissue and urine. Toxicology testing performed by the medical examiner’s office was positive for ethanol in the liver tissue at 0.03 grams per hectogram (gm/hg); no ethanol was detected in his brain tissue. Confirmatory toxicological testing was negative for tested-for drugs in the liver tissue. Toxicological testing performed by the FAA detected cetirizine in the right-seat pilot’s liver and muscle tissue, which is a second-generation antihistamine used to relieve hay fever and allergy symptoms. It is available over the counter, commonly marketed as Zyrtec. Although designed to be less sedating, cetirizine does have some sedating properties. The elimination half-life is between 6.5 and 10 hours. The FAA provides guidance on wait times before flying after using this medication. Confirmatory toxicological testing performed by the medical examiner’s office was negative for tested-for drugs in the right-seat pilot’s cavity blood. TESTS AND RESEARCHA review of NTSB Case Analysis and Reporting Online (CAROL) database for accidents and incidents for the Aero Commander 500 or Rockwell 500 series airplane was performed. The search was conducted for investigations in which the probable cause was determined, and the word “fuel exhaustion” was listed in the analysis narrative. Four cases were identified. The case numbers were MKC83FA059, LAX91LA313, WPR12TA323, and CEN13FA182. None of the cases mentioned postaccident testing of the tank unit or fuel transmitter. One investigation, CEN13FA182, involved a forced landing of an Aero Commander 500B on a golf course about 5 minutes after takeoff due to fuel exhaustion. The report indicated that the fuel gauge indicated 65 gallons but only .5 gallon of fuel was drained from the fuel tanks. A finding cited was a malfunction of the “fuel quantity sensor,” but the report did not discuss postaccident testing of the sensor. The NTSB determined that the probable cause of the accident was the loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion. Contributing to the accident in part was the failure of the fuel gauge to indicate the actual amount of fuel on-board the airplane.
Another search of the CAROL database for accidents and incidents for the Aero Commander 500 or Rockwell 500 series airplane was performed for investigations in which the probable cause was determined, and the word “fuel” was listed in the analysis narrative. Ten additional cases were identified in which fuel exhaustion may have contributed to the outcome. None of those 10 case narratives mentioned postaccident testing of the tank unit, or fuel transmitter.

NTSB Final Narrative

The pilot-in-command seated in the right seat was providing familiarization in the multi-engine airplane to the left seat pilot during a flight to a nearby airport for fuel. Shortly after takeoff, one of the pilots reported an engine problem and advised that they were diverting to a nearby airport. A witness along the route of flight reported hearing the engines accelerating and decelerating and then popping sounds; several witnesses near the accident site reported hearing no engine sounds. The airplane impacted a building and terrain about 10 minutes after takeoff. Very minimal fuel leakage on the ground was noted and only 23 ounces of aviation fuel were collected from the airplane’s five fuel tanks. No evidence of preimpact failure or malfunction was noted for either engine or propeller; the damage to both propellers was consistent with low-to-no power at impact.
Since the pilot could not have visually verified the fuel level in the center fuel tank because of the low quantity of fuel prior to the flight, he would have had to rely on fuel consumption calculations since fueling based on flight time and the airplane’s fuel quantity indicating system. Although the fuel quantity indications at engine start and impact could not be determined postaccident from the available evidence, if the fuel quantity reading at the start of the flight was accurate based on the amount of fuel required for engine start, taxi, run-up, takeoff, and then only to fly the accident flight duration of 10 minutes, it would have been reading between 8 and 10 gallons. It is unlikely that the pilot, who was a chief pilot of a cargo operation and tasked with familiarizing company pilots in the airplane, would have knowingly initiated the flight with an insufficient fuel load for the intended flight or with the fuel gauge accurately registering the actual fuel load that was on-board.
Examination of the tank unit, or fuel quantity transmitter, revealed that the resistance between pins A and B, which were the ends of the resistor element inside the housing, fell within specification. When monitoring the potentiometer pin C, there was no resistance, indicating an open circuit between the wiper and the resistor element. X-ray imaging revealed that the conductor of electrical wire was fractured between the end of the lugs at the wiper and for pin C. Bypassing the fractured conductor, the resistive readings followed the position of the float arm consistent with normal operation. Visual examination of the wire insulation revealed no evidence of shorting, burning or damage. Examination of the fractured electrical conductor by the NTSB Materials Laboratory revealed that many of the individual wires exhibited intergranular fracture surface features with fatigue striations in various directions on some individual grains.
It is likely that the many fatigue fractured conductor strands of the electrical wire inside the accident tank unit or fuel transmitter resulted in the fuel gauge indicating that the tanks contained more fuel than the amount that was actually on board, which resulted in inadequate fuel for the intended flight and a subsequent total loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion. The inaccurate fuel indication would also be consistent with the pilot’s decision to decline additional fuel before departing on the accident flight.
While the estimated fuel remaining since fueling (between 15 and 51 gallons) was substantially more than the actual amount on board at the start of the accident flight (between 8 and 10 gallons), the difference could have been caused by either not allowing the fuel to settle during fueling, and/or the operational use of the airplane. Ultimately, the fuel supply was likely completely exhausted during the flight, which resulted in the subsequent loss of power to both engines. Given the circumstances of the accident, the effects from the right seat pilot’s use of cetirizine and the identified ethanol in the left seat pilot, which was likely from sources other than ingestion, did not contribute to this accident.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

A total loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion. Contributing to the fuel exhaustion was the fatigue fracture of an electrical wire in the tank unit or fuel transmitter, which likely resulted in an inaccurate fuel quantity indication.

2022.09.21 15:24 ClayCrucible Private pilot checkride success! Notes to help others.

I'm so happy to update my flair to reflect my new private pilot certificate! I found this subreddit when I started my journey in early March of this year, and so many people have shared useful experiences that helped me here. Now I want to share a little of my experience to help others if I can.
TLDR: Got my cert in about 80 hours and $20K in cost. Checkride was good enough, and exactly what I expected it to be aside from my somewhat disappointing landings!
I'm one of those people who picked up flying in my 40s as something I just want to do, not for starting an aviation career. I found a local flight school based on recommendations from co-workers (Flights Inc at Centennial Airport - KAPA), did a discovery flight (with my wife in the back seat), loved it, signed up with the CFI who did the flight, and started three-times-per-week lessons (early mornings Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays). I used Sporty's for ground school and got the written done in the first month. I'll note that I'm lucky to have had my instructor for this whole time. He's at the 1,500 hour mark now but isn't rushing to the airlines just yet. Lucky me!
My first solo was in late May, at about the 28 hour mark (had some delays due to scheduling a stage check with the chief pilot and then winds that were too high for solo). In early July, at about the 60 hour mark, I had all of the requisite experience for the checkride and my instructor had me contact the DPE. The DPE was booked until September, and I had to wait until late August to even nail down the checkride date, which was yesterday as I write this - September 20. I went into the checkride with about 76 hours logged.
In all, the checkride took about four and a half hours, including debrief time. The DPE was great - very organized, sending me the cross country scenario a week ahead of time along with a link to a Google doc for me to fill out information he needed about me. He contacted me the evening before the exam to let me know that there was an error with my IACRA numbers; it turned out two of my flights with instructors weren't in my logbook as "dual received", so my hours of solo plus instruction received didn't add up to total hours. Easy enough to fix, thankfully.
I got to the airport 35 minutes early and did a quick pre-flight of the aircraft to make sure any obvious squawks could get fixed; There was a piece of interior trim hanging loose, and maintenance handled it before it was time to fly. I love my flight school!
The oral questioning took about an hour and 45 minutes. The DPE explained the flow at the start, and everything was straightforward. On the couple of occasions when my initial response wasn't quite right, the DPE asked a follow-up question that effectively worked as a hint to me that got me to the right place. Two of these were around charts and airspace. He asked about a Restricted area, and I answered that I would have to get permission from the controlling agency to enter it, which I really shouldn't count on, so I should plan to avoid it. He then gave me an example of flying he had done on either side of a restricted area and asked how he might have been able to do that, and I got to the point that you might be able to fly above it, and also that it might only be restricted during certain hours (I knew that was true for MOAs, but I didn't know it for Restricted). He also asked about equipment requirements at my local airport, which is in class D airspace, and I noted that a two-way radio is required in class D, but not ADS-B out or mode C transponder. He then pointed to another airport in the area that's non-towered and class E to the surface and asked about equipment... and this airport is right next to the spot on the chart showing "MODE C VEIL" for Denver International Airport. Oops... yes, we need ADS-B out and mode C here because we're inside the veil, too!
Anyway, the oral went great, and the DPE debriefed me during the break on a few answers that could be a little better, but it was a clear pass. He then fully briefed the flight portion - exactly what we would do and in what order. Landings would either be first or last depending on whether Centennial would allow them (they didn't as it turned out, which wasn't a surprise given one runway out of commission). He explained that all of our landings would be full stop taxi back, no touch-and-go landings. He also explained that for the power-off stall we would go to the full break but for power-on it would just be to first indication. And for simulated engine out, he would clearly say "Okay, this is the simulated engine failure" rather than trying to surprise me.
We took off and began the cross country. At the second checkpoint, he instructed me to break off and find a place for maneuvers. We were close to his home airport, Spaceport Colorado (KCFO), and while I was prepared to fly south to the practice areas I knew, he explained where the Spaceport practice area was (we were already in it), so we just used that.
Maneuvers went really well. I needed no memory aid for clearing turns; I was on the lookout for traffic already and I wanted to look around with extra turns! Steep turns (both directions), foggle time, unusual attitudes, foggles off, slow flight, power-off stall, turns around a point, power-on stall, emergency landing (no emergency descent). I'm sure it wasn't perfect, but within standards. I felt good!
Then he told me to head to Spaceport for landings. I got the ATIS and tried to get my bearings - I was in unfamiliar airspace. I radioed tower from ten miles out and they gave me entry instructions. I headed toward what I thought was the airport tower, only to realize as I got closer that it was the water tower for a nearby town! Oops. I explained that if I were flying with my PPL, not on a checkride, I'd look to the GPS on my iPad to orient myself, and the DPE said, "Then why aren't you doing that now?" He was quite supportive of using technology, which was great! I wish I had asked earlier!
I entered the standard left traffic pattern for the only open runway, 17, and made a soft-field landing. Taxi back, then soft-field takeoff. Tower told me to make right closed traffic - a surprise, since that takes the pattern directly over the other runway, but since that runway is currently closed, it's no problem. As I'm getting ready to turn base in preparation to make my short-field landing, tower tells me to make a left 360 so that they have space to get another plane out. I do, and then request landing clearance, which I get, but I decide to make this approach my go-around. Back to right traffic and into the short-field landing... which, let's say I can't be TOTALLY certain that I made it all the way to my intended touchdown point of the thousand-foot markers. As I was exiting the runway, the DPE said something along the lines of "I'll call that good enough because you did so well on the oral."
Short-field takeoff (which I felt like I climbed too aggressively on but the DPE made no note of it), then back to Centennial for the forward slip to landing. Centennial gave me a pattern entry I've never had before - heading toward a standard entry for 17L, but then having me turn off to make right base for runway 28. Shrug, but okay. I did this as a no-flap landing with the slip to get down. Landing was fine, but my rollout was messy. I knew I was faster than usual given no flaps, so I went past my usual exit point from the runway and took the next exit. I was still faster than I should have been at that point, but we made it.
Taxi to park, and the DPE says "Congratulations!" Whew!
In the debrief, I had a few takeaways:
Anyway, I got my certificate! My wife met me at the airport and I took her for a quick spin to fly over our house and see downtown, just so I could take my first passenger.
Huzzah!
If anyone is interested in the cost breakdown, the summary is that getting everything from 0 to my certificate cost me about $20,400. Roughly $12,000 in plane rental, $4,500 for my instructor, $1,300 on exam / stage check fees. $2,400 on gear (including a Lightspeed Zulu 3 headset and an iPad Mini 6), and the rest on the Sporty's course, ForeFlight, medical, etc. I had an additional $6,000 in expenses that I wouldn't have undertaken had I not been flying, but that I didn't really need for getting the cert. That's mostly the purchase of a new computer for practicing with Flight Simulator (and I use it for work, too), some training flights on vacation at other schools, a headset for a passenger, etc.

2022.08.27 18:38 Born_Possibility_842 Canoo Fortune Article

Interesting Article some new information and a lot of insight into Tony and connection to walton family, Bentonville production for Q2 2023.
https://fortune.com/2022/08/27/canoo-electric-vehicles-walmart-struggles-tony-aquila/
Article Here:
“Guys like us—we’re founders. We’re founders that built big companies, and we operate them,” he says as he sits across from me in the back of one of Canoo’s futuristic electric campervans, about three minutes into our conversation. “We have a nature about us of wanting to do things differently. Not just better, but different.”
For an executive whose public company hasn’t reported a dollar of revenue since 2020, Aquila seemed exceedingly confident. But at the time, in early June, Canoo’s financials and risk disclosures were telling a story that clashed with that confidence—showing that the company was hanging on by a thread.
Canoo’s vehicles were still going through test programs and not yet on the market. Production wouldn’t begin until at least the end of 2022, and the company hadn’t started construction on its own manufacturing facilities. Canoo had just recently signed an agreement with hedge fund Yorkville Advisors to sell up to $250 million worth of its shares at a discount to their already depressed market price. The Securities and Exchange Commission was investigating the company over its 2020 SPAC merger, and the company was tied up in an array of other legal battles. (Canoo says it is “cooperating fully” with the SEC probe.)
Indeed, right there in an SEC filing from March 31, Canoo itself had said it might not make it another year.
And yet, Aquila—the tattooed, 57-year-old private-equity executive who had begun taking control of the company in 2020—looked me right in the eye when I asked about whether Canoo had the funding it needed for the next year. “I am a just-in-time capital guy,” he assured me.
While electric vehicle industry insiders have marveled at the chaos that has swirled around Canoo in the last few years, and Wall Street analysts have speculated about the timing of the company’s demise, Aquila had his own reasons to be a bit more optimistic.
On July 12, about a month after we talked, the company got a burst of just-in-time good news. Canoo announced its first major contract—a deal with Walmart, the world’s largest retailer. The deal, which included a warrant agreement for Walmart to purchase more than 20% of the EV company’s shares, immediately gave Canoo’s share price a plump boost—and promised to become a revenue lifeline for a struggling startup.
It’s not the first financial boost that Aquila has received from Walmart Country, Fortune has learned. In 2019, after his contentious departure from a previous company he had founded, vehicle data management software company Solera Holdings, Aquila apparently received significant financial support from Alice Walton, a philanthropist and the daughter of the late Walmart founder Sam Walton, and one of America’s wealthiest individuals. Alice Walton was the original backer of AFV Partners, a private equity firm Aquila set up after leaving Solera, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter. Walton backed Aquila’s two early deals at the firm, that person says: An investment in a sports betting company called Sportradar, and the acquisition of airline company Aircraft Performance Group. A former Canoo employee, who asked not to be identified, says that Aquila would talk about how he was “great friends” with Walton.
At the end of 2020, AFV Partners invested $35 million in Canoo ahead of its public debut—an investment that propelled Aquila from a third-party outsider into the driver’s seat of the newly public company as executive chairman, and later CEO. Now AFV owns 19% of Canoo, or 51.2 million shares, according to public filings—worth approximately $190 million at the company’s current stock price. Multiple sources told Fortune that they believed Alice Walton was also an investor in Canoo, though none of those sources had firsthand knowledge of that investment.

Asked whether Walton was an investor in AFV, Michael Horvath, head of the investment group at the firm, said, “I am not aware of the detailed names behind investors. I usually speak with representatives so I can’t speak to this.” A representative for Alice Walton’s family office declined to comment on whether Walton is an investor in AFV or Canoo.
Meanwhile, Canoo’s ties to Walton’s home base (and Walmart’s) of Bentonville, Ark. have grown thicker. At the end of 2021, Canoo announced it was moving its headquarters to Bentonville. Earlier this year, Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson named Aquila as one of more than a dozen members of the state’s newly-minted Council on Future Mobility. And Canoo has been offered some $400 million in tax incentives from Arkansas and nearby Oklahoma to build two new facilities in those states, including a manufacturing operation and headquarters in Bentonville.
Canoo is hardly the only EV startup to take investors and employees on a wild ride over the past couple of years. Concern over climate change has lured an unprecedented amount of investor capital into the space, but the logistical challenges of launching an automaker from scratch haven’t gotten any less daunting. The booming popularity of SPACs in 2020 and 2021, meanwhile, has helped some of those companies jump into the public markets to access capital before their business models were on secure footing.
“The real questions are around the company’s financing.”
CRAIG IRWIN, ANALYST, ROTH CAPITAL
Crack open the hood even an inch, however, and it’s clear that, even with the Walmart deal, Canoo is floundering to an extreme degree. Its marketing efforts, including glowing announcements of relatively small and not yet revenue-generating contracts with the U.S. Army and NASA, have helped the company hobble along quarter by quarter. But executives have been bleeding from the company—many of them off to start new ventures themselves. Institutional and retail investors have lost interest, with Canoo’s stock hovering around $3.50—down from $8 earlier this year, and from $15 shortly after its SPAC merger at the end of 2020. Canoo is burning cash—with nearly $300 million lost in the first six months of this year. Canoo’s regulatory filings are muddled with generous payment arrangements between the company, its CEO, and Aquila’s affiliated business entities.
Aquila may have won favor in Arkansas, in other words, but it’s far from clear whether Canoo’s vehicles will ever even make it to the streets.

A ‘lifestyle vehicle’ changes direction

When Canoo hosted its very first earnings call as a public company, on March 29, 2021, it wasn’t Ulrich Kranz, Canoo’s then-CEO, who addressed investors. It was Aquila.
“Can you maybe talk about the high turnover and what’s going on here? And is Uli still chief executive officer?” was one of the first questions asked on the earnings call. It was posed by an analyst who pointed out that there had been several “significant surprises” before the Q&A started. One of those surprises was that, earlier that morning, Canoo had announced the resignation of its CFO. Aquila also made statements on the call that indicated Canoo was completely departing from the strategy that its senior executives had sold to investors when taking the company public mere months earlier.
Canoo had been the brainchild of nine co-founders, including former execs from BMW and Ford, who had left EV startup Faraday Future to launch something new: an affordable, electric-powered vehicle for young professional urbanites. The car would be built on a “skateboard” chassis that could serve as the base of a plethora of vehicle types: A B2B delivery vehicle, adventure campervan, or sports car, for example.
The initial plan was to roll out the “lifestyle vehicle” model to residents in the Los Angeles area, near the company’s headquarters in Torrance, for a subscription fee. In early 2020, the EV company had inked a deal with [hotlink]Hyundai Motor[/hotlink] Group to use Canoo’s tech platform for its new electric vehicles. And by that August, the company was planning to go public by merging with Hennessy Capital Acquisition Corp. IV, a special purpose acquisition company. At the time, Canoo had hired around 300 people.
“Everybody really wanted to be there… and was super passionate and committed to the project,” says one former employee, who spoke with Fortune on condition of anonymity.
But even then, things had long been chaotic at Canoo—and going public only drew more attention to the disarray. With nine co-founders, there were quite a few people with decision-making authority, and weekly meetings would sometimes go on for several hours, say two former employees. Not long before Canoo’s SPAC announcement, the company’s original CEO, Stefan Krause, had departed from the company. He left after the head of communications, who was also his wife at the time, filed a lawsuit against him and the company alleging wrongful termination and harassment, among other claims. The company declined to comment at the time, and the lawsuit was dismissed within four months.
The company was navigating other unusual hurdles, as well. Early on, Canoo had been backed by three major investors, one of whom was Pak Tam Li, a Chinese investor and the son-in-law of one of China’s former top political leaders, Jia Qinglin.
The company’s financial ties to Li would ultimately draw scrutiny from the U.S. Department of Defense, Department of Justice, and Treasury Department as the company planned to go public, per SEC filings. Those agencies aimed to impose certain national security-related restrictions on Canoo because of the sizable stake Li’s holding company held. The company agreed to follow certain data restrictions; adopt a “comprehensive security plan”; and attend annual information meetings with the aforementioned federal departments, as well as set up restrictions on Li’s holding company being able to nominate or appoint members to the board.
Still, there was a notable culture shift at Canoo once Aquila arrived, say two former employees. Those employees describe Aquila’s first few months as chaotic, and said he wouldn’t take advice from others. One former employee described meetings with him as “haphazard” and said he had already made up his mind about decisions before the meetings had begun. Both former employees mentioned that Aquila repeatedly compared himself to Musk in meetings.

COURTESY OF CANOO
Asked about Aquila’s behavior, Canoo connected Fortune with two former Solera Holdings employees who had gone on to keep working under Aquila. They both spoke positively of Aquila’s management style and about him as a person.
“Let me say this: He is sure not the easiest person to work for, but a person—you cannot learn more from anybody else,” says Renato Giger, who served as CFO at Solera, then chief financial operating officer at AFV Partners, then interim CFO at Canoo. Both Giger and Horvath, the head of the investment group at AFV Partners, described Aquila as very data-oriented and driven by certain management principles, such as the 80/20 rule for time management, which references that 20% of a person’s efforts are responsible for 80% of the results. “Tony’s the best boss I’ve ever worked for,” Horvath says.
Aquila’s entry into Canoo management coincided closely with his private equity firm’s investment. In November 2020, according to an SEC filing, Aquila was named executive chairman of the company after his private equity firm agreed to purchase $35 million of PIPE shares, in which a private investor commits to purchase shares of a public company at a specified price rather than at the market price. Around that time, Canoo renegotiated its contract with then-CEO Kranz, who would maintain his position as chief executive for a few more months, though he also became a “special advisor” to Aquila.
In early 2021, there was a widespread employee shakeup, with the company’s CFO, head of corporate strategy, chief counsel, and head of powertrain development all departing from the company. On that first earnings call, Aquila introduced four new executives, some of whom had worked for Aquila in the past. Shortly after, Kranz left to take a position at Apple. By the end of 2021, Canoo’s interim CFO, Giger, had retired, its CTO had resigned, and it had lost its head of vehicle programs and powertrain division head. All but three of Canoo’s co-founders had parted ways with the firm by the end of 2021.
Richard Kim, one of Canoo’s co-founders and the current chief design officer at the company, says that startups are dynamic, and it’s normal for the culture to evolve and for founders to leave. “People who start a company—eventually they do have to hand off the baton to someone else when they feel like the time is right,” Kim says. A Canoo spokesperson added that “leadership changes drive culture changes and entrepreneurial environments are intense. In every aggressive high-tech company there are differences and disputes.”
Others, however, have expressed concern over the unusual amount of turnover at the company.
“Anytime you see high executive turnover, that’s not a good thing,” says Edwin Dorsey, a public company watchdog who has written about Canoo’s troubles in his newsletter, Bear Cave. (Dorsey has not traded any of the company’s shares.) “Because people tend to not leave thriving companies—they leave when things are bad and the situation’s getting worse.”
The ride has indeed been getting rockier. Canoo’s deal with Hyundai, which its then-executives had broadcast throughout the SPAC process as a sign of the company’s promise, dissolved in early 2021. A potential deal between Canoo and manufacturing company Magna International fell through, say two people with knowledge of the matter. In December, just six months after its announcement, Canoo withdrew from an agreement it had arranged with Dutch company VDL Nedcar to manufacture their first batch of vehicles. “We got frightened about rising inflation and the shipping costs,” Aquila says of the company terminating its U.S. manufacturing agreement. A VDL Nedcar representative declined to comment.
Even as the company’s revenue prospects were floundering, Aquila was running up extensive expenses of his own. He began billing Canoo for expenses shortly after his arrival, per public fillings, including reimbursements for approximately $2.3 million in aircraft travel by the end of 2021; payments of $500,000 last year to staff members of his AFV Partners for “shared services support”; and $1.5 million worth of rent to an entity controlled by Aquila for Canoo’s usage of an office space in Justin, Texas as an interim headquarters. Canoo also covered $189,292 of Aquila’s temporary housing expenses while he was living in Los Angeles.
“Anytime you see high executive turnover, that’s not a good thing.”
EDWIN DORSEY, AUTHOR OF THE BEAR CAVE INVESTING NEWSLETTER
One of the former employees who spoke with Fortune said that the payments had raised concerns among Canoo staffers during their time at the company. Dorsey says that these arrangements, among other things, raise “concerns if executives are really acting in the best interest of the shareholders or are just trying to reap as much money as possible.”
Giger, who served as interim CFO of Canoo for most of 2021, says that he conducted market analysis on those expenses and made sure that AFV Partners was billing Canoo at or below market rates. He says that he never once received a complaint or question about the expenses from the board or investors at Canoo or AFV. Giger says that the “shared services support” was in reference to IT services that AFV provided; he notes that Canoo did not have people to do that work and was not “ready to be a public company” when it had gone public in December 2020.
Asked whether these payments had come up at board meetings, Canoo board member and president Josette Sheeran says Canoo has “all the controls that a public company would have, and all of those go through the audit committee as appropriate.” In a statement to Fortune about the payments, a Canoo spokesperson added, “Mr. Aquila is not drawing a salary for his work at Canoo…He has a vested interest in the company’s success and will see returns when the company shares rise—just like every other shareholder.”
Some of these payments and employee complaints echo grievances raised in a contentious lawsuit between Aquila and Vista Equity Partners, the private equity firm that had acquired Aquila’s previous company, Solera Holdings. In filings, Vista accused Aquila of billing Solera for hotel rooms and $700,000 worth in flights he took on his Gulfstream IV private jet to Austria, Qatar, Kuwait, France, among other places, around the time he had been trying to raise money for AFV Partners. Vista also had accused Aquila of “brash, vulgar, and belittling comments to colleagues” that had resulted in “significant personnel turnover.” (A Vista Equity Partners spokesperson declined to comment. A Canoo spokesperson said in a statement that Aquila “is a significant shareholder in Solera and he remains very supportive of the company.”)
Aquila tells a different story of his early days at Canoo, describing his relationship with the startup as one of a “stepfather.” He says the company’s prior management didn’t understand the market and was in need of someone who saw the capabilities of what the vehicle could be. Aquila represented to Fortune that he, like Musk, put a lot of his own money on the line to take the company in a new direction.
“I am the single largest shareholder now,” Aquila said during the June interview. “Honestly, I don’t pay attention to that—I just put more money in, and I’ll put more money in again. I mean, like I said, it’s like Elon: Once we’re in, we’re in.” (Fortune was unable to verify how much of the nearly $296 million in capital managed by his AFV Partners, per its SEC investment filings, is Aquila’s personal capital. Individually, Aquila owns less than 3 million shares of Canoo, or about $9.4 million worth at current prices.)

Splashy blue

When Canoo announced its deal with Walmart in mid-July, it made the exact kind of splash that the EV company had desperately needed.
As part of the arrangement, the world’s largest retailer agreed to purchase 4,500 of Canoo’s vehicles for its last-mile delivery fleet, with the option to buy 5,500 more. Canoo issued Walmart warrants to purchase 61.2 million Canoo shares at $2.15 per share, according to disclosures. Some of those warrants vested immediately: The rest will vest over a 10-year period, or until Walmart has generated $300 million in net revenue for Canoo. That would ultimately equate to a more than 20% stake in the company.
That deal could be enormous for the Bentonville-based EV company—which is now projecting a pipeline of $1 billion in sales. Walmart will make up a “substantial portion” of Canoo’s initial revenue streams, according to the company’s disclosures. (Canoo has announced other small contracts with the U.S. Army and with NASA, and also says it has a pipeline of direct consumer orders.) “Obviously we have a pipeline that’s been built that’s quite dynamic,” says Sheeran, Canoo’s president, who oversees government affairs and commercial sales. Sheeran declined to discuss details of the Walmart agreement, but said that Aquila had driven that deal.
It’s unclear whether there is any connection between Alice Walton’s apparent past support for Aquila and Walmart’s recent deal with Canoo. Walton is a major shareholder in Walmart, and, together with her two brothers, holds more than 48% of voting shares at the retailer. Her nephew, Steuart Walton, is a current board member and her brother, Rob Walton, is the former chairman. While she is famously silent about her investments, Alice Walton’s philanthropy and art patronage have often been credited with building up business and culture in and near Bentonville. Walton’s family office declined to comment for this story, and Alice Walton’s name is nowhere to be seen within the Walmart-Canoo agreement materials. Walmart declined to comment on the issue.

COURTESY OF CANOO
What is clear from the materials is that Walmart may not end up purchasing any vehicles—and it has plenty of “outs” if Canoo doesn’t deliver. The company can give Canoo 30 days’ written notice to cancel the deal, according to SEC disclosures, and Canoo’s vehicles are also subject to “certain acceptance and performance criteria” that the EV company will need to meet. The hedges seem prudent: After all, Canoo’s final version of its product isn’t out yet, and it doesn’t yet have the infrastructure to manufacture it in-house.
Canoo is also barred under the new deal from working with—or selling shares to—one of Walmart’s largest competitors, Amazon, which has also been vying for new, greener last-mile delivery methods—underscored by its investment in Rivian Automotive, the Irvine, Calif.-based electric vehicle competitor that went public in 2021. (Amazon recently took a $7.8 billion hit on its stake in Rivian, after the company’s shares lost half their value during the recent tech market plunge)
Canoo’s deal with Walmart immediately enthused investors, however; On July 12, Canoo saw its stock price rise 63% by mid-day on the news. Notably, one of the company’s major investors took it as an opportunity to sell. In a four-day period shortly following the announcement, Li sold more than 4 million shares at more than $4 a piece, per SEC filings. (He still owns nearly 27 million shares through two holding companies, records show)
Walmart or no, Canoo still has plenty of hurdles to grapple with: The company is working with a third party based in Detroit to manufacture its initial vehicles for now until it builds out its own facilities, which will be expensive. In eastern Oklahoma, Canoo has begun moving trees and clearing land on property in the state’s MidAmerica Industrial Park, but it has yet to begin construction, according to David Stewart, Chief Administrative Officer of the park. “They are making progress on their development agreement,” Stewart says. Aquila says Canoo’s Bentonville facility won’t start manufacturing vehicles until at least the second quarter of 2023.
Building those facilities will take capital, and the company is already losing hundreds of millions, with net losses of nearly $290 million in the first six months of this year, according to Canoo’s most recent quarterly earnings statement—more than twice the company’s reported losses from the same period in 2021. Meanwhile, the company was sitting on only $33.8 million in cash as of the end of June.
“The real questions are around the company’s financing” and how Canoo will be able to pay for it, says Roth Capital’s Craig Irwin, an analyst who has been covering the company since it went public.
This year, Canoo has entered into a series of capital arrangements with a fund affiliated with hedge fund Yorkville Advisors, then later the investment banks Evercore and H.C. Wainwright, under less than favorable terms, to free up cash.
Meanwhile, Canoo still hasn’t finalized its vehicle. It has been building and testing what it calls its “Gamma” fleet; then will move into the “fit and finish” phase before starting production, according to Aquila. The company projects it will start production in the fourth quarter of this year.
“I think the first couple thousand units should be delivered on time, as expected,” Irwin says of Canoo’s ability to deliver product. “Where we go beyond that is a question I don’t know how to answer.”

An empty facility

When Aquila was showing me around Canoo’s nearly-empty Bentonville facility in early June, I found it difficult to discern whether the few employees who were present feared or respected their chief executive.
During our conversations, Aquila casually interrupted his communications person twice and didn’t bother to apologize. During our interview, one of his employees stood patiently outside the vehicle for the duration of the conversation, arms held behind his back, ready to open the car door for us at Aquila’s bidding. Earlier that morning, as I sat on a bench near the front door of the facility, wrapping up a phone call and waiting to meet with Aquila, I had been repeatedly interrupted and questioned by a security agent.
But as uncomfortable as those moments may have felt, Aquila seemed relaxed, and he had clearly envisioned how all this would ultimately pan out. As he put it in our interview, he believes his own trajectory at Canoo parallels Musk’s at Tesla. That comparison sets a high bar: Musk, after all, had come in as an investor, taken control, pointed the company in a new direction, and ultimately transformed the automotive industry.
“I think, you know, we’re on the cusp of some really, really great things,” Aquila would go on to tell me.
The alternative, of course, would be utter failure.

2022.05.05 04:53 jcla Interesting Aircraft Alert: Swedish Air Force Gulfstream 550 VIP visits Ottawa with some VIPs onboard

Around dinner time today a Swedish Air Force Gulfstream 550 configured as a VIP aircraft to transport senior government officials and Swedish royalty arrived in Ottawa from Washington, DC. https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=4a822a&lat=45.161&lon=-75.730&zoom=10.0&showTrace=2022-05-04
It is parked at the Canada Reception Centre hangar north of the main terminal.
Sweden is currently considering petitioning to enter NATO along with Finland, a huge change from their traditional stance of neutrality, triggered, of course, by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This isn't without controversy in Sweden, which has long prided itself on neutrality and avoided directly participating in great power politics. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/04/sweden-ruling-social-democrats-divided-on-decision-to-join-nato
Earlier today the Swedish foreign minister Ann Linde met with the US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken (who tested positive for COVID right afterwards!) to discuss the potential entry into NATO: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/may/4/swedish-officials-visit-washington-country-edges-c/
Some senior military and defence industry officials were along for the trip, briefing a Swedish-US defence conference today as well: https://www.ndia.org/events/2022/5/4/18th-us-sweden-defense-industry-conference/agenda
Minister of Foreign Affairs Melanie Joly announced yesterday that she would be meeting with the foreign minister over the next few days (https://www.canada.ca/en/global-affairs/news/2022/05/minister-joly-to-welcome-swedish-counterpart-to-canada.html), and it's possible that the NATO membership application could be formally underway within days/weeks.
A much nicer visit to town than the Rolling Blunder last weekend :)

2022.04.08 14:20 mileandafurlong Keeneland Picks + Analysis 4/8/22

Happy Keeneland opening day! Here are my picks and analysis for today's card. All selections made prior to weather + scratches and changes. Good luck at the races! :)
R1 - MAIDEN SPECIAL WEIGHT 4 ½ FURLONGS DIRT
3-7-4-6
#3 UPTOWN SOCIAL (8/1):
Tyler Gaffalione hopping aboard this SPEIGHTSTER colt for a trainer with only 11 starts to his name. Notably, Gaffalione rode for this trainer once before, and lost by a nose. SPEIGHTSTER strikes at 13% with first time starters, and he himself won first time out…. at Keeneland. Good, consistent works. Oldest of the field, being a February baby while the others are all late March -> early May foals. Interesting horse, I’ll take a shot.
#7 INSANITY IT SEEMS (3/1):
Owned, bred, and trained by Wesley Ward, who boasts huge numbers with first time starters, scoring the win 30% of the time. This gelding’s half brother won on debut for this trainer, at this course and in a race of essentially these same exact conditions.
#4 DOMINICANA (5/2):
Well-bred filly by UNCLE MO out of stakes placed mare CHATTERTOWN, making her the full sister of the late LAOBAN. Conditioned by Wesley Ward, an expert on getting babies ready for the races, winning at a whopping 30%. The pilot for today will be hall of famer John Velazquez, who rides well for Ward and should have no trouble giving this filly a good trip.
#6 ROL AGAIN DANCER (6/1):
Usually I am wary of shippers, especially from Florida to Kentucky, but this GIRVIN colt caught my eye. Debuting for traineco-owner Jose Delgado, who has only raced horses 5 times at Keeneland in the past 5 years, grabbing one victory and landing in the money in all but one of those races. Likely not a win candidate but could grab a check!
R2 - MAIDEN SPECIAL WEIGHT 1 3/16M TURF
11-1-8-10
#11 DUVET DAY (10/1):
STARSPANGLEDBANNER filly out of a MONTJEU mare. Half to a couple of winners over hurdles in Ireland. Absolutely bred for this distance and longer. Best on figures. Is shipping in from California but does have a nice breeze at Churchill Downs earlier this month. Has run into trouble in nearly all of her starts. The pick.
#1 BEACHFRONT BID (9/5):
Deadly jockey/trainer combo of Irad Ortiz Jr. and Chad Brown teaming up once again with this filly, who has been knocking on the door in all of her three starts. Another shipper, this time from Florida; Chad Brown is 28% with those types. Looks like one that will appreciate the added distance. May also improve with 2nd time Lasix.
#8 RUN THE TAP (30/1):
This distance today may be a touch too long, but the surface switch should suit her greatly, being half to 4 turf winners, including G1W HALLADAY. Expect improvement.
#10 JUST A NYQUIST (30/1):
Sired by NYQUIST, out of a LEMON DROP KID mare…. more distance should be no issue. She does need to improve a ton off of that last place effort on debut, where she was simply outrun by her foes. She may not win, but I would keep an eye on her.
R3 - $20K CLAIMING SIX FURLONGS DIRT
3-10-9-7
#3 FLORIDA GATOR (5/1):
Cutting back from a mile and returning to six furlongs, where he has been successful. Returning to claiming company. A horse that prefers to sit off of the pace and make a run; with the cutback + the amount of speed horses in this race, that should be useful.
#10 TERAWATT (7/2):
Returning to face claiming foes after trying an allowance at Oaklawn. Joel Rosario returning to the saddle, which is never a bad sign. Rosario was aboard for this ridgling’s lone victory (against maiden claimers) and should get him into a good position.
#9 PASSWORD PROTECTED (10/1):
Facing winners for the first time, having broke his maiden at Fairgrounds in February. Is coming off of a mild layoff, but hasn’t missed a work and should be coming into this with some confidence now that he’s scored a victory. He’ll need to step up, of course.
#7 VIDAL (12/1):
Speedball trained by John Ennis, switching back to the dirt after three unsuccessful attempts on the Turfway tapeta. Has faced the likes of BARBER ROAD in his career, and appears to be spotted well here. Has ability, needs to show it today.
R4 - $80K ALLOWANCE OPTIONAL CLAIMING 1 1/16M DIRT
6-2-5-10
#6 MARR TIME (9/2):
Regally bred daughter of the legendary mare LESLIE’S LADY, trying a route distance for the first time. Being by NOT THIS TIME and half to the likes of BEHOLDER, INTO MISCHIEF, and MENDELSSOHN, the new distance should be no issue. Trainer Brad Cox also boasts first time route numbers of 29%. This filly’s lone win was on debut at this course, which is certainly a bonus. Also, the jock for that race is back aboard here.
#2 CONSUMER DRIVEN (10/1):
Broke her maiden last out at Tampa Bay Downs, where she wired the field. Switches trainers, gets a jockey upgrade to Tyler Gaffalione, hasn’t missed a work since her victory. Boasts the highest late pace figure by 13 points, which I love to see. She raises the classic question of What did she beat? but I would instill a bit of faith in her.
#5 A MO REAY (3/1):
Returning to the races after a brief stint on the Kentucky Oaks trail and over four months on the bench. Adds lasix for the first time. Good, but how good? A wildcard for me.
#10 PARK ON THE NILE (7/2):
Vastly impressive debut winner in November, making her first start since then. Adds lasix for the first time. Will face a challenge securing the lead from the far outside draw.
R5 - ALLOWANCE ONE MILE TURF
5-3-10-11
#5 SUPPLY CHAIN (3/1):
Looks the lone speed if MTO HANDCARVED doesn’t get in. Facing winners for the first time, having won his debut at Tampa Bay Downs last month. In the past five years, trainer Chad Brown has won 26% of the time in turf routes at Keeneland. He is also 28% with shippers and 31% with maiden winners last out.
#3 HEALING (4/1):
Winningest horse of the field, with 7 victories from 17 career starts. Improving on figures, having lodged two consecutive victories so far this year. Loves the turf, loves this distance, coming into this race with a swift bullet in 47 seconds. Tyler Gaffalione/Mike Maker are usually a force to be reckoned with.
#10 MYOPIC (30/1):
Trying turf for the 2nd time in his career and trying blinkers again. Conditioner Robertino Diodoro does well with the dirt to turf angle (19%) as well as blinkers back on (30%).This horse needs to show more today. Perhaps he’ll be more forward?
#11 MOUNT KENYA (8/1):
Another maiden victor from Tampa Bay Downs, this time for Vicky Oliver. It took him 8 tries to finally score the win, but maybe that’s what this ANIMAL KINGDOM gelding needed. At 5 years old now, he may finally be at his best. Wouldn’t be surprised if he improves. Also worth noting he hasn’t run poorly on the Keeneland turf.
R6 - MAIDEN SPECIAL WEIGHT SEVEN FURLONGS DIRT
9-4-3-6
#9 INDIGO MISS (5/1):
Half sister to champions HOT ROD CHARLIE and MITOLE. With that breeding, I expect that the added furlong shouldn’t be a problem today, and she should improve with racing. Note that HOT ROD CHARLIE seemed to like this course a bit; perhaps that will translate to this filly. Despite that 4th place effort last out, she deserves some love here.
#4 ELLE OF THE BALL (5/1):
Cutting back a furlong, returning to the dirt. Best on figures. Tyler Gaffalione in the saddle, which is never a bad thing, especially with the $32.40 ROI he boasts for this trainer in the last 60 days. This distance + dirt could be just right for this filly.
#3 LADY ARSINOE (12/1):
Tom Amoss trainee making her 2nd start at Keeneland after a 3rd place effort at Fairgrounds last month. You can apply the speed/fade/cutback angle to this girl, and it’s a bonus that she has run well at Keeneland in the past. Perhaps 6th time’s the charm.
#6 LUV DRAGON (12/1):
Well bred daughter of GUN RUNNER (26% with FTS) making her debut today. Half to two UAE Oaks winners, who showed some precocity. The primary concern for this filly is that trainer Al Stall is 0 for 11 with firsters in the past 5 years at Keeneland. She may not run poorly, but expect to see a better horse when Churchill Downs is racing again.
R7 - LAFAYETTE S. SEVEN FURLONGS DIRT
12-8-2-1
#12 TEJANO TWIST (7/2):
Ran a career best speed figure last out in a 2nd place allowance effort off the layoff. Won an optional claimer at this track in October, launching away to win by 7 ¼ lengths. Shouldn’t mind the 7F distance. Keeps his regular jock. Seems like an improving horse.
#8 MY PRANKSTER (9/5):
The sole graded stakes winner in this field and likely to be favored come post time. Has notched two victories in a row, including the G3 Swale in February. Has one solid effort at Keeneland on his resume. No doubt he is talented, but I’ll let him beat me.
#2 MONEY SUPPLY (9/2):
Diving into stakes company after winning on debut at Tampa Bay Downs in February. Overcame trouble in that race to win by two lengths over two next out winners. Ran a figure that certainly makes him competitive here. He’ll need to step up, of course, but clearly connections are fairly confident in his chances.
#1 OSBOURNE (12/1):
Cutting back to what’s likely his preferred distance after a dismal effort at 1 1/16M in the G3 Southwest. Will need to step up, but this appears to be a good spot for him.
R8 - G3 TRANSYLVANIA S. 1 1/16M TURF
5-4-2-6
#5 COINAGE (3/1):
Looking to capture his 2nd graded stakes victory and turn the tables on GRAND SONATA, who defeated him two back. Will likely aim for the lead, a tactic which jockey Luis Saez is no stranger to utilizing. Has a bit of an edge on figures.
#4 GRAND SONATA (5/2):
Also looking to capture his 2nd graded stakes victory, as well as his 3rd consecutive winners’ circle photo. Hasn’t raced in over two months, which is a slight concern. Could possibly challenge COINAGE for the lead. Another Pletcher wildcard for me.
#2 NAPOLEONIC WAR (15/1):
One of two Chad Brown trainees in this field, and one being completely outclassed on figures makes you go: why is he here? Maybe it’s just the owner wanting to take a shot in a smaller field. Or maybe it’s that and the horse has some real potential. Worth noting is that he has the highest late pace figure by 10 points. Always something to keep an eye on, especially if a pace duel ensues.
#6 VERBAL (2/1):
Chad Brown’s second entry in this race, making his first start since November, where he was victorious in the G3 Cecile B. Demil. He hopes to remain undefeated today and snag another graded stakes win. Will need pace to run at, but certainly talented.
R9 - G1 ASHLAND S. 1 1/16M DIRT
6-4-7-2
#6 HAPPY SOUL (5/2):
Wesley Ward usually doesn’t run his horses in routes, and when he does, he means business. This filly is aiming for her 3rd stakes win in a row, and her 4th overall win in a row. Prepped for this new distance with a stamina building 6F breeze, clocked in 1:11. If she secures the lead, she can lead this field the whole way around.
#4 NEST (2/1):
Also looking for her 3rd stakes win in a row, this time for Todd Pletcher. Has winning experience at this distance and longer, as well as a win against G2 company. Shouldn’t be far off the lead. Has the fastest late pace figure. But can she catch HAPPY SOUL?
#7 COCKTAIL MOMENTS (12/1):
Fairly talented filly who has been knocking on the door in consecutive stakes races. Maybe not the caliber to win this race, but certainly a player. Expect her to make a big run late.
#2 INTERSTATEDAYDREAM (5/2):
Improved dramatically off the layoff, scoring a 8 ¼ length victory last out in an optional claimer at Oaklawn. Nice 5F bullet coming into this. She should run well.
R10 - ALLOWANCE 5 ½ FURLONGS TURF
2-8-5-3
#2 ILLEGAL SMILE (5/2):
Won an allowance at this course and distance last out. Will be returning to the races after more than five months off, but Wesley Ward is 25% with 90+ day layoffs. Irad Ortiz Jr. aboard, who certainly knows how to get to the winners’ circle. This filly is speedy and will likely be up close. Is capable of grabbing the lead if desired.
#8 AMALFI PRINCESS (12/1):
Making the cutback from one mile to 5 ½ furlongs. Finished 7th in that ILLEGAL SMILE allowance in October. Expect a better performance with the cutback in distance.

Won an optional claimer two back at Gulfstream, rallying from last to first. In the likelihood that the pace heats up, this one looks dangerous.

Betsy DeVos' $40 Million Yacht Set Adrift By Vandals At Ohio Dock _ HuffPost
Betsy DeVos’ $40 Million Yacht Set Adrift By Vandals At Ohio Dock
Someone untied the SeaQuest from its mooring, causing it to ram into a dock and sustain “large scratches and scrapes,” according to a police report.
By Hayley Miller
A $40 million yacht owned by the family of Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos was set adrift by vandals at a dock in Ohio last weekend, causing thousands of dollars worth of damage to the vessel, according to the Toledo Blade.
The SeaQuest’s captain said his crew awoke Sunday to find the boat had been untied from its mooring at the Huron Boat Basin and was floating away, according to a police report obtained by HuffPost.
The crew was “able to gain control of the ship, but not before it struck the dock with its Starboard forward section,” the police report stated. Damage to the yacht consisted of “several large scratches and scrapes,” which the captain estimated would cost between $5,000 and $10,000 to repair, according to the police report.
Huron City Police Chief Robert Lippert confirmed to HuffPost that the yacht belonged to the DeVos family. He said DeVos had not been aboard at the time, but could not confirm whether other family members had been.
Representatives for DeVos and her family did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s requests for comment.
Lippert would not speculate on a potential motive, citing the ongoing investigation. Police had not yet obtained surveillance video of the incident, but were following up on a few potential leads, Lippert said.
“Had there been different wind or more wind, [the yacht] could have certainly floated a lot further than it did,” Lippert told HuffPost.
The 163-foot yacht is one of 10 boats owned by the DeVos family, the Blade reported.
Betsy DeVos is one of the Trump administration’s wealthiest officials, with an estimated net worth of around $1 billion, according to Forbes. Her father founded Prince Corporation, a successful automotive business, and her father-in-law co-founded Amway marketing company.
DeVos visited Toledo, Ohio, earlier this month to tour the Correctional Treatment Facility and Penta Career Center, according to her public schedule. Her role as secretary of education has been intensely criticized by public school advocates and LGBTQ activists, who condemn her efforts to strengthen “school choice” initiatives, as well as her decision to rollback LGBTQ student protections imposed under the Obama administration.
This article has been updated with additional details about DeVos.

A $40 million luxury yacht owned by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos was untied from its mooring in northern Ohio last weekend.
The 163-foot Seaquest was moored at the Huron Boat Basin in Huron, Ohio when someone set it adrift early Sunday morning, police told the Toledo Blade.
The crew of the massive pleasure cruiser awoke around 6 a.m. Sunday to discover the vessel had been untied and eventually got control of the yacht. The boat had already sustained large scratches and scrapes after striking the nearby dock, causing an estimated $5,000 to $10,000 in damage, according to the police report.
The super yacht is registered under a Cayman Islands flag.
Cops are searching for surveillance footage from the area as the search for the culprits.
DeVos — the wealthiest member of President Trump’s cabinet — along with her billionaire husband’s family own nine other luxury boats.
DeVos was born into wealth before marrying Richard DeVos, Jr., whose father started the Amway corporation, a multi-level marketing company.
The 60-year-old conservative Christian school choice advocate is estimated to be worth about $1.3 billion. Her family also own at least four planes and two helicopters, including two Gulfstreams and a Cessna.

Betsy DeVos proposes rules that would cut student loan relief by an estimated $13 billion
By ASSOCIATED PRESS JUL 25, 2018
Students who are defrauded by their schools would have a harder time getting their federal loans erased under new rules proposed by the Trump administration Wednesday.
The proposal, which aims to replace a set of Obama-era rules that were never implemented, drew applause from the for-profit industry but sharp criticism from advocacy groups that represent student borrowers.
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said the proposal lays out clear rules schools must follow to avoid trouble, while also protecting students harmed by deception.
“Our commitment and our focus has been and remains on protecting students from fraud,” DeVos said.
Under the proposal, students would be eligible for loan relief if they can prove their schools knowingly misled them with statements or actions that directly led them to take out loans or enroll at the school.
That would be a higher bar than the borrower defense rules finalized under Obama in 2016 after the collapse of two for-profit schools, Corinthian Colleges and ITT Technical Institute.
Those rules allowed relief in a wider range of cases dealing with breach of contract.
Education Department documents supporting DeVos' proposal argue that while students should be protected from fraud, they also have an obligation to do research before picking schools.
“Postsecondary students are adults who can be reasonably expected to make informed decisions if they have access to relevant and reliable data about program outcomes,” the department said.
The new proposal is estimated to save nearly $13 billion over the next decade compared with spending estimates under the Obama rules, primarily by reducing the amount of loan relief awarded to students.
Department officials say they have received more than 100,000 fraud claims since 2015, and most are still under review. But the new rules would apply only to loans taken out after July 1, 2019, officials said.
Schools would gain an opportunity to respond to claims of fraud under the new proposal, which says schools deserve to defend themselves against accusations that could damage their reputations and revenue.
It also would allow schools to force students into arbitration agreements barring them from suing the school. Some for-profit colleges use that practice, which would have been banned under Obama's rules.
Opponents blasted the proposal, saying it places schools ahead of students and discourages victims from pursuing financial relief.
“It encourages abusive and predatory institutions to continue to rip off students with impunity, while slamming the door on the debt relief that Congress has instructed the department to provide to cheated students,” said Toby Merrill, director of the Project on Predatory Student Lending at Harvard University.
Bob Shireman, a senior fellow at the Century Foundation and a former education official under Obama, said the proposal “is perhaps the most damaging action Betsy DeVos has taken since assuming office.”
“These changes would effectively strip students of their right to recourse if they believe that a college or university has misled them, making it next to impossible for defrauded students to get the relief they are entitled to,” he said.
But the changes were hailed as an improvement by the for-profit college industry and some Republicans.
Steve Gunderson, president and chief executive of the trade group Career Education Colleges and Universities, said previous versions of the rules allowed for “carte blanche approval” of fraud claims, to the detriment of schools and their students.
“The department has undertaken a thoughtful and deliberate approach to this rule, and we applaud their hard work on this important matter,” Gunderson said.
Sen. Lamar Alexander, a Republican from Tennessee and chairman of the Senate education committee, said DeVos' proposal will prevent taxpayers from footing the bill for “unreasonable or unsubstantiated claims of fraud.”
“The Obama administration went too far in rewriting this provision by setting overly broad and vague standards and as a result, put taxpayers on the hook for too many loans,” he said.
Obama's education officials created new rules to clarify the debt relief process after thousands of students said they were defrauded by for-profit colleges. Before that, the process was rarely used and relied on a patchwork of state laws to determine if students deserved loan forgiveness.
The updated rules were scheduled to take effect in July 2017, but DeVos delayed them after a California group representing for-profit schools sued to block the regulations. DeVos began the process to replace them soon after.
Meanwhile, the department has only recently begun to process a backlog of fraud claims, announcing in December that it will provide only partial relief to borrowers, based on their incomes. Under the Obama administration, students were granted full relief for their loans.
On Wednesday, the department said it will be gathering public input on the proposed rules for the next 30 days. Along with opinions on the rules, officials are also asking if borrowers still making payments on their loans should be able to apply for forgiveness at all, or if it should be reserved for those who default.

if i might, i posted those two articles back to back since as always typical of conservative and basically everyone from the center going right, are nothing but fucking hypocrit pieces of shit and not worth the time to spit in their face or piss on their grave. defrauds the u.s. taxpayer and then goes all "holier then thou" on college students.
and i still get messages on why i so fucking hate the center going right and in particular the right, conservatives and corporate


Here's why Betsy DeVos' family flies the Cayman flag instead of an American one on their yacht - raw story
SARAH K. BURRIS
07 AUG 2018
Last week, someone untied the large yacht owned by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’ family. The prank resulted in several photos and videos posted of the big family boat and yet another conversation about the DeVos family’s wealth. Those photos and videos showed one strange thing: a Cayman Islands flag instead of America’s stars and bars. Upon further inspection, that yacht isn’t the only family vessel flying a foreign flag.
According to David Sirota, VesselTracker reveals that the yacht is registered not in the United States but in the Cayman Islands. It’s entirely possible that the DeVos family floated the fancy boat up the eastern coast of the United States, through rivers in Quebec City and Montreal, down into Lake Ontario, past Buffalo and into Lake Erie to Huron, Ohio. However, it doesn’t seem likely.
Sirota revealed the true purpose of the foreign flag on the family’s boats: a “flag of convenience” allows owners to call themselves foreigners for tax purposes. Maritime attorneys told the writer that the tactic is “a scheme that allows wealthy Americans to feign foreign status — and glean the lucrative benefits offered by offshore tax havens.”
Classifying themselves as “foreigners” gets them out of paying sales tax and use levies while living under the protection of American police and the U.S. Coast Guard.
“If you want to come in and use the waters of a given state of the United States, the question is, how can you insulate yourself from getting hit for the use tax?” said attorney Michael T. Moore. “The answer is close and register offshore. If you close and register offshore, you aren’t subject to either a sales or a use tax. You are simply visiting the United States, and you are visiting under a privilege that is granted to certain countries in the world under what is called a cruising permit.”
DeVos hasn’t publicly called herself a person only “visiting” the United States, however.
“Those countries grant the privilege to U.S. flagged vessels, and the United States offers that reciprocal right to vessels flagged by those countries,” Moore continued. “In practice, it means the permit allows you to go from port to port in different states without having to officially make entry and pay taxes to the states of the ports you visit.”
If it was registered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, for example, the yacht would be subject to a six percent tax totaling about $2.4 million.
Being a foreign vessel also scores DeVos cheaper labor costs and gets her out of strict inspection and safety standards.
Maritime attorney Mark J. Buhler explained the boat can be certified as a “seagoing motor vessel” or a “passenger vessel,” which are typically reserved for offshore yacht registration.
“The most commonly used offshore yacht registries have comprehensive large yacht safety codes that were specifically developed for large yachts, whereas the U.S. Coast Guard regulations and inspection requirements applicable to ‘seagoing motor vessels’ or ‘passenger vessels’ were created many years ago, principally for vessels engaged in trade, and not really having large yachts in mind,” Buhler noted. “Those requirements do not translate well to yachts, and most yachts are simply not designed or built to those particular standards.”


Billy Graham's Daughter_ We Deserve To Be Hit With A Nuclear Strike - The Intellectualist
by Erica Apr 10-edited
Evangelist Billy Graham's daughter, Anne Graham Lotz, said God will punish America's immorality with a nuclear strike.
In keeping with her brother's theme that the United States has a 'sin problem', Rev. Franklin Graham's sister, Anne Graham Lotz, told Decision Magazine that God will send a nuclear strike to punish the country's immorality.
via patheos
Lotz says she believes severe judgment is coming and has partly begun. “And I’m talking about something like a nuclear strike, an earthquake that splits us in two, an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attack that devastates our electrical grid. Something major that would be a game-changer for America, because we are so defiant and rebellious and idolatrous and immoral, and we know better.”
Lotz says that Americans deserved to be zapped to death because of their immortality.
Lotz is a strong supporter of President Donald Trump.


Pam Bondi confronted by protesters outside Mister Rogers movie _ Tampa Bay Times
When asked whether Mister Rogers would have approached the situation the same way the activists did, one of the protesters said, "I'm not Mister Rogers."
By Kirby Wilson and Steve Contorno
A group of protesters accosted Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi outside the screening of the new documentary about Mister Rogers at the Tampa Theatre on Friday night, questioning her about her recent actions on health care policy and her stance on immigration.
A video of the confrontation, taken by progressive activist Timothy Heberlein of Organize Florida, shows several people shouting down Bondi as she leaves the theater escorted by law enforcement after seeing Won't You Be My Neighbor.
"What would Mister Rogers think about you and your legacy in Florida? Taking away health insurance from people with pre-existing conditions, Pam Bondi!" Maria José Chapa, a labor organizer, can be heard yelling to Bondi in the video. "Shame on you!"
"You're a horrible person!" another protester shouts.
Reached by phone on Saturday, Bondi said the sudden protest didn't square with the lessons imparted by Fred Rogers.
"We were in a movie about anti-bullying and practicing peace and love and tolerance and accepting of people for their differences," Bondi said. "That's what Mister Rogers is all about. We all believe in free speech, but there's a big difference there."
The organizers didn't plan to confront Florida's top law enforcement official Friday night, Heberlein told the Times in an interview. But when one of them spotted Bondi in the ticket line before the film, he said they knew they had to say something.
According to Chapa, one of the organizers confronted Bondi before the movie over her February decision to join in a lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act — a move seen by many progressives as a threat to people with pre-existing conditions covered under the law.

"And I guess she felt threatened because she called the police."
Tampa Police Department public information officer Janelle McGregor confirmed the department got a call from Florida Highway Patrol asking for help escorting Bondi out of the Tampa Theatre.
"We responded at approximately 8:06 P.M. as the showing was ending and there were no further incidents," McGregor said.
Heberlein said that the movie's depiction of Rogers's work with children reminded him of what he sees as Bondi's support for conservative immigration and health care policies that hurt the most vulnerable Floridians. But he conceded that he and his friends likely would have confronted Bondi no matter what film they were seeing.
"I feel like even if we went to see The Incredibles we would have said something," Heberlein said.
Say something they did. Chapa said she tried to engage Bondi in a conversation about health care and immigration after the movie, but she was rebuffed. That's when the shouting started.
After this story was first published online Saturday afternoon, a Bondi spokesman recounted a much less pleasant story of the attorney general's interactions with the protesters.
"The video they are choosing to share is of the least aggressive portion of the attack that transpired after police arrived to control the scene. What they are not sharing publicly are several previous encounters involving large men getting in the Attorney General's face, spitting and blocking her exit," the spokesman, Whitney Ray, said in an emailed statement. "The Attorney General tried to have a conversation with these individuals, however, when it became abundantly clear that they were not interested in a constructive dialog but were only there to cause a scene, the attorney general tried to leave the volatile scene."
Chapa called this version of events a "lie," contending that there were no large men in her party. When asked whether Mister Rogers would have approached the situation the same way the activists did, Chapa said he might have handled it differently.
"I'm not Mister Rogers," Chapa said. "I don't have the poise or temperament of Mister Rogers."
It was the latest confrontation between a prominent conservative public official and liberal activists. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristjen Neilsen was shouted out of a Mexican restaurant in Washington D.C. earlier this week.
Read more: Protesters interrupt homeland security secretary's dinner at Mexican restaurant And President Trump's press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted Saturday morning that she was refused service by a restaurant in Virginia on moral grounds.
Heberlein, who accused Bondi of refusing to start a dialogue with groups that work with at-risk communities like his, said he has no regrets about how the protesters acted.
"If you refuse to meet with us, we're coming to where you're at. We're coming to where you're watching a movie or eating dinner," he said.
"Sorry, not sorry."
This story has been updated with additional information about AG Bondi's version of events.

if i might, so when a husband and wife bakers site religious reasons for not baking a wedding cake for 2 men and all the religious right get all behind them for it.
and now that a eating places refuses to deal with someone they dont like on the basis of political, now the right gets their panties in a bind and get all bitchy about it.
so once again the plain and simple facts that are the center going right and in paricular conservatives and such "their shit never stinks but everyone else stinks to high heaven" and "hypocrits".
now future generations will never believe this shit that they do if we just tell them, its just like paul bunyun and his blue ox. im sure there was a paul bunyun and maybe his ox was bluish but that story is a "tall tale" and so will what these fucks do all the time and always have done. so by having tape and everything else for the last several decades to simply play back for them, we dont have to do anything since all this shit will speak volumes for itself. but i would remind all that once they see it all, there is going to be plenty of counseling needed


Protesters heckle Florida AG Pam Bondi outside showing of Mr. Rogers documentary _ Fox News
By Paulina Dedaj
Protesters heckled Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi on Friday at a showing of a
documentary about children’s TV host Fred Rogers, challenging her support of the Trump
administration’s stance on immigration and the state’s decision to join a lawsuit against
the Affordable Care Act.
After watching “Won’t You Be My Neighbor,” a documentary about the fabled Mr. Rogers, Bondi was shouted at by demonstrators and had to be escorted by police, the Tampa Bay Times reported.
"What would Mr. Rogers think about you and your legacy in Florida? Taking away health
insurance from people with pre-existing conditions, Pam Bondi,” one protester reportedly
shouted.
"You're a horrible person!" another is quoted as calling out.
Bondi told the publication Saturday that she didn’t believe the heckler’s actions were in line with the teachings of Mr. Rogers, whose "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," which ran on PBS and its forerunners from 1968 to 2001, emphasized inclusivity and acceptance of all people.
"We were in a movie about anti-bullying and practicing peace and love and tolerance and
accepting of people for their differences," she said. “We all believe in free speech, but
there's a big difference there."
Friday’s incident happened on the same day that White House press secretary Sarah
Sanders was thrown out of a Virginia restaurant over her connections to the Trump
administration.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

2022.02.15 03:39 8th_Hurdle [CONFLICT] Alleluia

The gothic masses are storming the fortress,
They lack emotion or sense for humanity,
They embody the irregards of machines towards humanity,
Only humans patrol the Italian lines,
Only humans defend Italy,
It is the Alfr, machines, that are attacking us,
They have tried to end the idea of Italy,
Yet the sun shall still rise once again,
Therefore,
Praise the lord-
'Am I allowed to praise Allah instead?'
'Sure, for the Italians are those most inclusive'
‘Allah ackbar’

Non-Conflict Topics;

The Present Situation;

Currently, Italy’s largest unexpected losses are in its Tempeste fleet, and in its infantry. Of the 150 M-347 Tempestes in operation at the beginning of the war, only 53 are currently considered operational, as serious flaws in the plans for aerial warfare were not realised before being enacted. The other major loss, namely of pure soldiers, is 168,000, or about a 37% mortality rate. Conscription has been forced in, and so, a steady stream of new soldiers is being produced, but reserves are not endless, especially as more land is taken overall.
As expected, much of the navy has sunk to the bottom of the ocean, but the goal of the navy was nonetheless achieved - prevent the surrounding of Italy via naval invasion - and the next round of actions will have to take this into account. It was a victory for the Italians, and not one pyrrhic in nature, so we can call the QRF a great success. In addition, the equipment loss rates on land have been surprisingly low considering the onslaught from the west and east.
Of land, Italy has now lost control of the Alps, though with differing holds on the Po Valley. It seems as if Alfheim is wishing to not expand beyond its logistics, indicative of a change in tactics to not overextend, and this perceived cautiousness is to be taken into account with the new assaults made on our fronts. However, the entry of the EU into the war is now expected to be imminent, and as such Alfheim is expected to divide and conquer - end the Italian Republic before turning to the east, with bluffs used to hold the east at bay. A small saliant has formed around Milano and Bergamo, but both will be evacuated as soon as possible, detailed further in the plan.

Developments In The Present Situation;

Despite the changes around Italy, there has been some good developments within it. Thanks to the Phoenix Plan, much of the industry has been relocated south, and further factories are to be built as well, and so, our troops are now been supplied with the QUAPS bullets that are far more effective against Alfheim, with the orders from before being discarded in terms of where to shoot - the most convenient areas are the best, though joints are to be prioritised more. Other previously-ordered equipment is still on schedule for delivery, apart from the ships, as their main dry docks are located in the north.
In addition, Italy has been able to order a number of advanced SDM-69 airframes from Iran, with 150 arriving now and 150 arriving next year. This is going to supplement the Tempeste fleet until true 6th-Gens arrive to operate as a joint Italo-EU air force. Plus, with the deal reached between Italy and the Arab League concerning the islands between Sicily and the ADIR, they have been granted in return for a guarantee of neutrality and guarantee of supply for fuel, food, and electricity, as an inquiry into Dassault 6th-Gens has begun.
As of present, few new projects are starting up, but the advancements made with the engines alone provides the base for a new series of upgraded vehicles, with only the caveat of trying to gain this lithium, a difficult task to be sure. We have greenlit the beginning of IFV development to replace the current Centauro and Freccia lineups with newer vehicles, and, if all goes to plan under the very tight constraints, it should take 3 years to arrive on the field - preliminary inquiries are already underway on present vehicles.

Logistics;

With the use of mass bombing raids by Alfheim on our cities inadvertently also hitting our main reserves, a new form of logistics supply needs to be created, and as such, more localised supplies will be used; as shipments of bullets and equipment start to go towards the front, via road and rail, and will split up as they are shipped in bulk for troop use, and then used or transported to where needed.
Logistics are likely to be hit by air raids, so should be mobile at all times, moving in unpredictable patterns designed by atomic clocks on each of the supply trains or trucks. With newer QUAPS bullets and Msumari HEAT grenades now being supplied to the troops, both far more effective against Alfr than present arms, the advantages enjoyed by the Alfr should disappear as soon as these new armaments appear. When the next bloodbath happens, we wish for it to be exclusively Alfheim’s loss.
Cover will be erected across roads whenever possible, and with all of the transportation vehicle disguised, they should blend into the surroundings well. Caution will always be taken, of course, but priority is getting these vital supplies to the front.

Defensive Lines;

Several defensive lines are planned across Italy, the Apennines providing useful cover for such operations that only the coastal plans in the east, and Roman plain on the west are flat enough to be even remotely comparable to the Po Valley. However, a few assumptions have already been made;
  • Alfheim will try to disconnect Italy from the EU and Yugoslavia, so will concentrate most of its forces on the east coast, primarily towards Rimini and San Marino
  • If any breakthrough is to be made in the west, it will be along the coastal plains or through the roads between Firenze and Bologna in the Apennines, as well as from Perugia to Forli
  • Alfheim will have air superiority, so will press it to their advantage, so will become confident in their ability to win, and so will try to make risky manoeuvres in their advance - thereby, our tactics for airbourne repelling will be utilised by the fronts
  • Naval invasions are deemed ‘unlikely’ after the loss of their amphibious assault ships at Salerno, and so the QRF will be brought in as a reserve force, and the Sicilian garrison will be reduced, and supplemented with newer soldiers
Of these defensive lines, the lines planned include the Linea Maiale, the Linea Lanciare, Linea Mercato, and the Linea Faticare, all stretching across Italy to place Italians in control of strategic strongpoints. Maiale is already fully operational, but other lines are still not fully built up yet, and these will need to be erected very quickly, especially if the Linea Maiale is quickly overrun. In fact, due to this fear, Genova is to be evacuated very soon, and the Maiale forced back to La Spezia, a more insular position.
These lines will travel close these routes, though spanning a larger distance than just these areas;
Name; Start; Points Of Interest; End;
Linea Maiale Genova Voghera, Piacenza, Bologna, Cesena Bellaria
Linea Lanciare La Spezia Aulla, Ribalta, Popiglio, Alberaccio (Pistoia), Vaiano, Barberino di Mugello, Dicomano, Aie della Guardie, Il Comignolo, Bagno di Romagna, Cà di Pietro, Carpegna, Mercatale, Montecchio Pescaro
Linea Mercato San Vincenzo Sasseta, Poggio Grasceto, Monterotondo Marittimo, Montieri, Siena, Capannole, Agazzi, Città di Castello, Pianello, Sassoferrato, Jesi Collemarino
Linea Faticare Orbetello Montecalvo, Valentano, Montefiascone, Attigiano, Amelia, Narni, Termi, Rieti, Antrodoco, L’Aquila, Navelli, Monte della Grotta, Chieti Pescara
They all span from coast to coast, and take advantage of natural valleys that are easy to defend and hard to cross. Our soldiers will place themselves on the opposite face of each of these valleys, along their mountains, with the hope being that the Alfr and Danubians will try to push against these pre-fortified positions. If, and if so, when, the Linea Maiale falls, the current military headquarters in Firenze will be evacuated for our new headquarters in L’Aquila, and if the Linea Mercato falls, this new headquarters will move again south to Venafro. Firenze is already becoming an increasingly-vulnerable site for the HQ, so its movement is top priority.

Combat Topics;

Preliminary Missile Strikes - Operazione Jericho;

A number of missile strikes will be made into Southern France to target the ships left after the strikes of Russia into the Navy of Alfheim. In addition, these will target existing Danubian “ACTOR” ships that are docked around Marseille and Toulon, the main port of call for the Mediterranean Navy Alfr. Approximately 380 ASTER II 62 missiles will launch from the currently-untouched ASTER launchers within Central Italian Apennine mountains, aimed to target the docking pens at Toulon and Aspretto. For Toulon, 10 Missiles will each be targeted at docking pens here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, 20here, and 15 Missiles each at the docking pens here, here, here, here, here, here, and 27here, with 315 missiles expended in total for the Toulon mission, as the primary port in Southern France. Also attacked are the warehouses at Aspretto here and here with 10 missiles directed at each. The remaining 55 ASTER II 62 will be directed towards the harbour mouth of Toulon here to target any ships getting away from the other strikes, to deny them of safety.

After the disaster that has struck the Tempeste fleet beforehand, a significant number of our airframes have been shot down. Even so, relief has began to arrive thanks to the opportunistic talents of Luca Messina, who has secured 150 SDM-69 multiroles for Italy that have been delivered in November 2054 with a secure delivery guarantee - any lost in transit were replaced, thankfully. An additional 150 would then be delivered by the end of 2055, which should give Italy some breathing room in aircraft production, before license production of foreign airframes can begin - the Dassault AN, EN, and Su-60 are all highly considered for the job.
Therefore, the orders have been less harsh on the 53 remaining Tempestes as it were last time. They are to not overextend themselves, but try to establish themselves over the Blitzjagers in the sky, with SDM-69 multiroles flying as the main workhorses. The SDMs’ laser weapons, currently with no counters for by the Blitzjagers, will be used aggressively for defensive operations, and if any bombers or transports try to aid Blitzjagers in the skies, then the missiles of the SDMs are to be deployed against these - air missiles are to be used also on lesser airframes (e.g. Typhoons, Gripens) used by Danubia and Alfheim. Distraction drones will be used to limit losses from missiles that make it through the laser defences.
The overall goal of the airforce is to limit the operational effectiveness of Alfheim (& Danubia) regarding their aircraft’s missions. Our aim is to distract them from their true mission of destroying our armies on the ground, via missiles, munitions, or mass use of chemical warfare. Again of note are the airframes that deploy chemical weapons, to be destroyed as quickly as possible. Utility helicopters will aid in building defence lines, with some materials lifted by air if ground transport is deemed unfeasible. These will be guarded by our AW249 and A129 attack helicopters.
To aid in the latter mission, and additionally prevent missile strikes from doing too much harm, our air defences have been renewed. Not all stores were used, and so, there are still munitions remaining for this arduous task, with far more ordered and progressing at a quickening pace. Our ASTER II 42 missile defences are being hit hard, but they are to strike at targets in the following order; Large Missile (Groups) > Chemical Warfare Bombers > Blitzjagers > Bombers > Other Fighters/Multiroles > Small Missiles (Groups) > Lone Missiles. Hopefully, this should limit the rate of misfirings on strategically-insignificant targets.

Navy;

Our navy is now in ruins, but soon, that should apply to the Alfr’s as well, leading it to be concluded that their mission is a success. We were able to sink one of the Alfr’s aircraft carriers, and the mining of the coast by the navy was a great success. Therefore, the remaining ships are currently in a bit of a state, with the Taranto still in Bari for repairs, but ordered to remain as mobile as possible at all times, for fear of missiles. This has also led to the posting of 1 ASTER II 42 for all times to be at Bari.
The remaining ships are to conduct anti-submarine patrols in the Mediterranean Sea around Sicily and the heel of Italy. With the last two feasible AFOMs built now, they do at least stand proud, and should serve the fleet well. The aim is to both survive, and deter against any further naval invasions of Italy from Alfheim, though doubts are raised over the feasibility of such actions. Nonetheless, caution will be taken.
The squadron has been designated the ‘Survivor Group’ after its ‘survival’ of the previous onslaught, with the fleet advised, though not mandated, to sail close to airbases as much as possible, to provide good air cover after the loss of our air-defence destroyer. Sorties from Sardinia are the only sorties expected, so the general direction of any air assaults will likely come from that direction, so the radar will be focused on that area. The F-35B airwings from the Taranto have been assigned to this escort from land bases. They are few, but they are useful and in good numbers, hence their usage here.

Army;

Our army has suffered losses that have varied between fronts. To our surprise, the Western Alps have not been pushed as much as the Eastern Alps, and the Northern Front in particular has been very successful in its missions. It was the east that bore the brunt of the damage, in particular the Eastern Front, but this did allow for the destruction of the signal tower early enough on to aid massively in readiness. Nonetheless, an unfavourable position in the Po Valley has been reached, and though we do still hold on to Verona, Bergamo, Milano, and Venezia, all 4 of these cities are finding themselves exceptionally vulnerable on the plains of the Po, to the point of unfeasibility of all but Venezia, which acts as a vital hold point to prevent advances along the eastern coastal plains.
The first order of the day is the evacuation and gutting of the northern cities that we still hold in the centre and west - all valuable infrastructure is to be destroyed in its entirety, to the point of uselessness. This includes Autostradas, railways, and airports plus their hangars and runways. Planned explosive charges and bulldozers will be utilised to clear away what the Alfr and Danubians want, placing it away from their grasp. In addition to the destruction of the western cities, Genova is to suffer a similar treatment, as it too will be evacuated in favour of holding at La Spezia instead, a far more comfortable position than what would otherwise become the Genoese Salient - the port, too, is to be destroyed in its entirety, and unable to operate within 5 years of its takeover.
However, for the eastern cities, we plan to fight along the coast to prevent the total advance of Alfr forces into the coastal plains there. Therefore, the cities of Ravenna, Venezia, Bologna, Ferrara, and Padua are to be fortified, not evacuated, with Padua and Venezia done the most hastily with similar infrastructure destruction made to both cities, whilst fortifications around Ravenna are to be extensive and tough to advance into. Rimini and San Marino are part of the Linea Maiale, and will become the two most defended places in Italy in an instant.
The first line of defence is the Linea Maiale, already built up, and now fortified, which has now been defined to run between La Spezia and Bellaria, has already been fortified. It will be garrisoned extremely well, and will have the front line stationed on it, with the aim to hold out, and not retreat until absolutely necessary. From there, if a breach does occur, then the second defensive line will catch the Alfr off guard, and force delays once again. This line will also be manned intensively, with reserve troops stationed here. A map of both lines is found here.
Troops will both be stationed on these lines, whilst the third line - the Linea Mercato - will be occupied at only the vulnerable points along the coastline, whilst the fourth line - the Linea Faticare - will be occupied in much the same way. It is not expected that Alfheim will try to capture any cities by air operation unless absolutely necessary, but if the Linea Maiale holds, or air assault operations are detected, then high alert is to be placed regarding a possible operation on either Roma, Firenze, or Rimini.
If the Linea Maiale falls, then troops are to fall back to the Linea Lanciare, which will have its troops then fall back to the Linea Mercato. At the Linea Mercato, the flanking troops will then fall back to the Linea Faticare, but occupy the centre more, and reinforce weak points in any of the lines. Occupation of the Linea Mercato is a sign of extremely bad news, and would indicate Alfr approaching Roma in the west, and cutting off the Adriatic in the east - both will be exceptionally symbolically fatal for Italy, unless full support comes from the Russians. Regardless, the Linea Lanciare falling will spur stronger resistance, and so the Linea Mercato will allow for Italy to make a final stand against Alfheim and Danubia, before vital cities are occupied outside of the Po Valley.
However, operations have been detailed below for the Battles of La Spezia and Rimini if they do occur, created by Generals Umberto and Rossi, for the total defence of the two coastal cities, with their importance understood and accepted. It needs to succeed, otherwise Italy will once again be caught on the back foot.

Excerpt from the battle plans of the 21st division of General Umberto, which had been completely wiped out during the defense of Aosta;

La Spezia's Defence;

Map of actions;
[...] The 14th, the 1st and the 3rd Brigades are to prepare defensive lines on the edges of the city, as shown in the map. If breached, they are to retreat to a new defensive line, beginning from the castle "San Giorgio" and into the port. The last defensive line will be set up in the middle of the district "Migliarina, and in front of the district of "Termo". [...]
[...] 10th Brigade is to set up their forces across the region of the "Batteria Monte Santa Croce" and "Monte della Castellana". The peninsula overlooks the city of La Spezia and, as such, if captured by the enemy, can be used to set up some artillery positions, outflanking our defenses.
10th Brigade is to hold the position for as long as they can, no matter the cost, due to its incredible strategic value for the defense of La Spezia.
If the final line of defense is breached, soldiers are to be evacuated via "Port Venere". No evancuation is to take place. 10th Brigade's defense will be to the last man. [...]

Orders issued to the eastern Linea Maiale;

The following plans are classified and to be protected with the uttermost secrecy.

Operation "Enea" (Aeneas)

Introduction

Operation Enea has been devised by Generals Armando Rossi and approved by Da Ferrara. The plan has been considered by colleagues as a high-risk, high-reward operation that, if successful, would mean a major victory for the Italian Army.
Ever since it was decided to retreat to the Appenine and turn the cities on the sides of the mountain chain into a battleground, Rimini fell into the spotlight, even more than La Spezia. It is there, that General Armando Rossi wants to inflict a defeat even harsher than that at Salerno and has declared that, should the operation fail, he is the only one to blame.

In Regards To The Terrain;

Rimini is not a large city, with "only" 150,000 inhabitants. Many smaller towns surround it, such as Viserba, Torre Pedara and many others. The towns are stretched along the sea, which gives us one advantage: the enemy can only attack either at the front or at the flanks, at which point they'll run into hills and into the Apennine.
There is also a disadvantage: Alfheim's forces excel in flat terrain, and, for some kilometres, Rimini is surrounded by plains. Armando Rossi, however, argues that, while this makes the enemy's advance easier, it can also make any counterattack easier for us.

Stalingrad and Aosta: two major inspirations

Armando Rossi, in preparation for a likely attack on Rimini, has read books and seen videos and documentaries on the Battle of Stalingrad. The German 6th Army, after months of brutal house-to-house fighting, had nearly managed to conquer the city of Stalingrad, when, in November, the Soviets launched Operation Uranus. The Red Army encircled over 300,000 troops in Stalingrad, and shattered the 6th Army, obtaining a major and decisive victory on the Eastern Front.
Safe to say, Armando Rossi wants to replicate the success of Operation Uranus, albeit on a smaller scale, as the Italian Army lacks the strenght to encircle over 300,000 Álfr and Danubians.
To do this, however, General Armando Rossi has also "interviewed" General Umberto, now leading the defense of La Spezia. Umberto had managed to defend Aosta for almost two weeks and had undoubtedly become the best source to ask for in regards to urban warfare.
Based on the advice given to him by Umberto, General Rossi has issued orders to the 7th Infantry Division, the 2nd Tank Battallion and the 3rd Anti-Armor Battallion to defend Rimini, as the 9th and 13th Infantry Divisions hold the flanks in the Appenine.
Operation Enea is to be divided in 3 phases.

Phase 1: defending Rimini

Map of Operations;
The 7th Infantry Division is to take forward defensive positions around Viserbella, down to Casetti (refer to the maps). The orders are to slow down the enemy as much as possible through house-to-house fighting. The 7th Infantry Division's job is to wear down the enemy and force them on focusing their forces into the city.
As the first line of defense is breached, the soldiers will launch a fighting retreat, placing explosives along the way, and setting up an entrenched position at the "Fiera di Rimini" and at the school buildings of the "Liceo Statale Alessandro Serpieri", "Istituto Professionale per il commercio Luigi Einaudi", "Scuola Media Statale E. Fermi" and "Liceo Linguistico Giulio Cesare-Manara Valgimigli".
The second line of defense will be set up along the river "Marecchia". The bridges are to be blown up before the enemy can cross them, and machine gun outpost must be set up to stop the enemy from crossing the river.
The third line will follow a canal within Rimini, and then reach the "Villaggio Azzurro". The bridges on the canal must also be blown up. If breached, particular care must go to the defence of the railway station of Rimini.
Finally, through a fighting retreat, the 7th Infantry division will reach the final defensive line. No matter what, this line must not be broken, as this is where Phase 2 of Operation Enea begins.

Phase 2 - The Encirclement;

Map of Operations;
By the time Phase 2 begins, the enemy will have certainly put their focus into breaking through Rimini, and that is when our main counter-attack will begin.
The 9th Infantry division, with its starting points being "Borghi", "Verucchio", "Dogana" and "Casetti Prazzolo", and the 13th Infantry division, with its starting points being "Longiano" and "Felloniche", they are to launch an attack that will encircle a large force in Rimini.
The 13th Infantry division, accompanied by an artillery barrage, will launch an attack, marching through "Savignano sul Rubicone", they are to reach "Bellaria". They will then set up defensive positions across the line.
The 9th Infantry Division will launch a pincer attack towards "Santarcangelo di Romagna". The point of such an action being that, even if the attack by the 13th Infantry division fails, we will still be able to encircle an enemy force in the zone, although small.
Should Phase 2 prove to be a failure, the 9th Infantry Division will move some of its forces to help the 7th Infantry division hold the line.

Phase 3 - Liquidating The Pocket;

Map of Operations;
Finally, comes the hardest part. Once the enemy has finally been encircled, the 9th Infantry Division must deal quickly with its pocket around Santarcangelo di Romagna and then move to support the 7th Infantry Division. More armoured units, previously in reserve, are to be brought in under the command of the 7th Infantry division.
The attack must be as quick as possible, as it is certain the enemy will try to break out of the encirclement, and possibly encircle us, too. If such a scenario becomes likely, then the 13th Infantry division, holding the line, must retreat back to its starting positions. Same goes to the 9th Division, which will then enact the same "plan B" described in Phase 2.

Some Don'ts
  • Don't go to any nationwide chain restaurants while you are here.
  • Don't walk alone through most areas after dark. Yes, Forsyth Park is beautiful at night, but please walk through it with some friends.
  • If the area you are in looks run down, broken, crappy, it probably is. There is not a distinguishable or specific singular "rough area" of Savannah, there are pockets scattered throughout the city. Stay in the lighted tourist areas & you'll be fine. Some of the places mentioned above like Lone Wolf Lounge, for example, could be perceived by some to be a bad area. They aren't, if they are on this list you should consider them safe to go to. Don't be stupid though, use common sense this is just like any other city in the USA. You have a higher chance of getting your drink drugged or yourself assaulted at many downtown locations than in places like the Starland District.
Lodging
For lodging, you'll find Airbnbs throughout the Historic District or pick a hotel/B&B from our list below. Stay away from the midtown hotels near Hunter Army Airfield unless you're on a budget and have a car, and even then you'd be far better off staying in a hotel out near the airport or in Pooler.

Information about neighborhoods and surrounding cities/towns.
Savannah
Savannah’s neighborhoods range from multi-million-dollar properties to nearly-abandoned homes…sometimes just one block over. There is a diverse mix of communities within the city limits. Here’s a rundown of some of the neighborhoods you’re likely to look at living in:
  • Historic District (HD) – (downtown) the HD is mostly rental homes and hotels nowadays, but there are flats and apartments available to rent, the price tag will be premium, however.
  • Starland / Thomas Square - (south HD/north-midtown) Up and coming part of town between the HD and Ardsley Park. More affordable than the HD, more walkable with shops/bars/restaurants than Ardsley Park.
  • Ardsley Park – (midtown) AP is where most of the middle and upper-middle class live in the city. Its in the geographical heart of the city, but it is bordered by some rough areas of town.
  • Gordonston – (eastside) is a lovely established neighborhood in Savannah. Named for Juliette Gordon Lowe, it has its own private park that the residents maintain. Only about 5-8 minutes to the HD and about 20-25 minutes to Tybee. Filled with old live oaks and azaleas, it’s a beautiful neighborhood with a mix of interesting homes.
  • Georgetown – (southside) Gtown was the last “big” expansion of Savannah. Mostly middle & working class, but there are some upper-class areas too. Lots of apartment complexes in the area, with decent access to the HD and other areas of Savannah via major roadways and the Interstate.
  • Whitebluff/Wilshire/Windsor - (southside) This part of Savannah is more established than Gtown, has a mix of class areas. It has some real hidden gems along the marsh.
The Islands
The Islands have a mix of residental and light commercial. Water access is pretty easy with a lot of public and private launches and docks for use.
  • Whitemarsh (pronounced Wit-marsh), Oatland, Wilmington, Isle of Hope, Thunderbolt – these islands have a mix of residential types and communities. Access to Savannah can be a challenge at peak travel times, and when a hurricane comes it is an area of higher risk. All islands in this list are unincorporated Chatham County, except for Thunderbolt which is an incorporated town.
  • Skidaway Island – are you rich? Then this is the exclusive community for you! In unincorporated Chatham County. The island attempted to organize into a city a few years ago, but failed. Average price of a house here is $500k, there are exceptions to that, but generally this is where the wealthier folks live.
  • Tybee Island – This small island city is about thirty-minutes from the HD. In peak times it can be even longer. Pretty affordable considering the location. You can’t live further East in Georgia than Tybee Island.
Bedroom Communities
Savannah isn't the only city with thousands of residents. Several area cities ring Savannah and are a great alternative to the "big city".
  • Pooler – In West Chatham, this city is growing rapidly and is a mix of social classes. Low crime and lots of stores & restaurants. The city does have a (relative to size) traffic issue and is mostly commuters. Expect additional travel time, 30-45 minutes to the HD on most days. Population is estimated to be around 28k-30k.
  • Richmond Hill – Located just to the south of Savannah in Bryan County. RH is like Pooler in the sense of its economic make-up, but less commercial building has gone on over here. The commute is almost exactly like Pooler’s. About 15k population.
  • West-Side Cities - Garden City & Port Wentworth – these smaller cities are mostly working-class communities, but there are some upper-middle class neighborhoods. Much smaller populations, you'll need to leave the city limits to get all that you need. Both are around 8.5k population.
  • Rincon/Effingham – Further west than Pooler, this area is building up rapidly, but the commute can be miserable for some upwards to 60-75 minutes to reach the HD…worse if there is an accident. It is seen as a cheaper place to live due to the lower land cost, but that is changing rapidly. About a 10k population in Rincon, and about 65k in all of Effingham.
Schools
  • Savannah-Chatham Public School System – generally seen as a "terrible" school system, its “okay” for elementary (if you’re in the right areas), but unless you get into the lottery for the STEM charter schools…it is rough for middle and high school.
  • Bryan County Schools – In Richmond Hill, these schools are considered pretty good. Particularly when contrasted against SCPSS, but with the growth of RH some of the same issues that plague the Savannah system are finding their way to BCS.
  • Effingham County Schools – Pretty much the same as Bryan Co Schools. Growth leads to more problems.
  • Private Schools – Lots of private schools to pick from. If you have specific feedback about one, share it here.
Higher Education
  • Georgia Southern Armstrong Campus – located on the southside of Savannah, this school offers under-grad, grad, and doctoral programs.
  • Savannah State University – located on the east side of Savannah, a historically black university offering under-grad & grad degrees.
  • SCAD – a private nonprofit art school that has buildings throughout Savannah. Under-grad and graduate programs available.
  • Savannah Tech– a community/technical college. Associates and certifications offered.
  • South University– a private university offering under-grad, grad, and doctoral programs.
  • Georgia Tech- located near the airport, GT offers non-degree programs & certifications. Including, K-12 STEM enrichment programs, leadership training, coding boot camps, OSHA training, and applied research. As well as partners with Gulfstream and other logistics companies to educate and train employees.
Jobs
  • Ports – The GA Port is expanding like mad. Work is hard but pay can be lucrative. The Port of Savannah is the largest port on the East Coast and by 2030 it will be the largest in the USA after their ambitious expansion plans are finished.
  • Gulfstream – Recently they landed a major government contract, so even when they're laying off workers they're hiring more.
  • Hospitality – Savannah is a tourist town, so there are a lot of jobs in the service and hotel industry here. If that’s what you’re hoping for, you’ll be able to find work in a hurry.
  • Healthcare – there are two large hospital systems, both almost are always hiring. Other large practices in the area are SouthCoast Health and Optim Orthopedics.
  • Construction - there is a lot of construction happening in Chatham County. Between the building boom in Pooler and RH, there is a lot of work to be found. With the Port expansion project, there will be even more building work to have.
Is Savannah Dog Friendly?
Beaches
None of the beaches in the immediate vicinity of Savannah are "dog friendly". Tybee Island will fine you $450 for having your dog on the beach. And Fort Pulaski recently banned dogs from their beach. Your nearest options are:
  • Hilton Head Island, SC - "From the Friday before Memorial Day through Labor Day, dogs are NOT allowed on the beach from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.". (Which is a confusing way of of saying: Labor Day through Memorial Day, dogs are allowed all day long. During the summer, they are only allowed in the mornings & evenings).
  • Jekyll Island, GA - dogs must remain leashed and are not allowed in the "South Dunes Picnic Area south to 2000' south of St. Andrews Picnic Area."
Restaurants & Bars
Almost any restaurant or bar that has an outdoor seating area is dog friendly, but not all are. Call ahead to see if their outdoor area is dog friendly. This can change frequently due to business volume, so we do not track it. No restaurant or bar in Georgia, can allow dogs indoors unless it is a service animal. Here's a FAQ from the Department of Public Health's Website:
Q: What are the Georgia rules about dogs in restaurants?
A: Georgia Food Service Rules and Regulations require restaurants to obtain approval from the local health department before providing a dog-friendly dining space. This dining space must be outside and only accessible from the outside. Pet owners are not allowed to walk their dogs through any indoor dining areas or non-designated areas to access a dog-friendly dining patio. Only service animals that perform a task or service for their owners are allowed inside restaurants in Georgia. Pet dogs, comfort dogs or other animals are not allowed in any indoor dining areas of restaurants.
Q: How will I know if a restaurant is dog-friendly?
A: Restaurants are required to notify customers that their establishment is dog-friendly. This information will be available through signs, or from restaurant staff. The restaurant must have an outside entrance to the dog-friendly area that will allow the pet owner and their dog to access the patio without walking through the indoor dining room. Only service dogs are allowed inside of a restaurant.
Q: Can my dog sit at the table with me?
A: No. Dogs that accompany their owners to restaurants with dog-friendly dining patios are always required to be on a leash and under the owner’s control. Dogs are not allowed to be on tables, chairs or other furniture at the restaurant. The pet owner must ensure their dog does not come into contact with tableware or utensils at the restaurant.
Q: Is my dog allowed to eat with me on a dog-friendly dining patio?
A: No. To protect the public’s health and safety, dogs are not allowed to eat on a dog-friendly dining patio. Some dogs become aggressive around food and eating stimulates a dog’s digestive system increasing the likelihood that they will vomit or defecate immediately afterward.
Q: What if my dog has an accident while on the dog-friendly patio?
A: Restaurants with approved dog-friendly dining patios are required to have materials available for cleaning up after a dog, if an accident occurs.
Q: If it is hot outside, can a restaurant give my dog water?
A: If you visit a restaurant with a dog-friendly patio, the restaurant can provide a single-use, disposable bowl of water that you can give your pet away from the dining area. Dogs are not allowed to eat or drink in the dining area.
Q: Will restaurant employees be able to pet my dog?
A: Restaurant employees working with and around food are not allowed to touch or pet animals.

2021.10.13 17:54 No-Cheesecake-8472 Pearl 700 Sounds like a quiet beast.

Pearl 700 pushes G700 beyond its typical limitationsWednesday, 13 October 2021Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines have already powered Gulfstream's G700 beyond its maximum operating speed and cruise altitude, flying nearly as fast as the speed of sound at Mach 0.99 while reaching an altitude of 54,000ft.📷The Pearl 700 combines the Advance2 engine core, with a new low-pressure system, resulting in an 8% increase in take off thrust at 18,250lb compared to the BR725 engine.
Rolls-Royce's Pearl 700 engine programme has achieved further testing milestones on its way to certification and entry into service in 2022, reaching more than 8,000 test cycles and more than 3,000 testing hours.
During the test campaigns the Pearl 700 proved its reliability and performance under extreme conditions, experiencing cold start temperatures, where fuel viscosity is comparable to honey. It is reported to have performed equally well in hot conditions, completing long, high power endurance runs and high cycle tests, and has successfully demonstrated that it can run on 100% SAF.
The flight test programme began in February 2020 and is progressing with a fleet of five flight test aircraft and one production test aircraft. The Pearl 700 engines have already powered Gulfstream's G700 beyond its maximum operating speed and cruise altitude, flying nearly as fast as the speed of sound at Mach 0.99 while reaching an altitude of 54,000ft, it says. In typical operations, the aircraft has a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.925 and a maximum cruise altitude of 51,000 ft, which allows it to fly above commercial air traffic and the weather in the troposphere. During its first international visits to the Middle East and Europe the aircraft set two city pair speed records and a third speed record on its return trip to the United States.
Dr Dirk Geisinger, director business aviation, Rolls-Royce, says: “Seeing the Pearl 700 programme running at such a fast pace makes me really proud of the team behind it. In addition to the extensive ground testing, the flight test campaign is progressing exceptionally well. Today, it stands at more than 3,000 engine flying hours from more than 2,000 engine flights and with the G700 test aircraft fleet in the air these numbers are increasing daily.”
It combines the Advance2 engine core, with a new low-pressure system, resulting in an 8% increase in take off thrust at 18,250lb compared to the BR725 engine. It says the engine offers a 5% higher efficiency, while maintaining its class-leading low noise and emissions performance.
The engine includes a highly efficient blisked fan, a high pressure compressor with a pressure ratio of 24:1 and six blisked stages, an ultra-low emissions combustor, a two stage shroudless high pressure turbine and an enhanced four stage low pressure turbine that is one of the most efficient and compact in the industry.
