The Avanti Group Japan's Nikkei jumps 2 pct on exporters, recovers from Cyprus blow - 1 views

  •  
    The Avanti Group * Exporters and financials gain * Cyprus parliament to vote on bailout later on Tuesday * Underlying trend still bullish- analysts * TPP should be positive for Japanese equities - analyst By Ayai Tomisawa TOKYO, March 19 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei average rebounded 2 percent on Tuesday, regaining some ground lost in the previous session as fears receded that a controversial bailout proposal for Cyprus could reignite the euro zone crisis. Analysts said that the disruption to the Japanese market from the unusual bailout plan for Cyprus seems to have run its course, although the Japanese equities market is prone to volatility because it is vulnerable to a rise in the yen when global market uncertainty increases. "It looks like the bailout issue will be contained in Cyprus itself and it probably won't spread to the euro zone. As the Japanese market was rallying lately, Monday's selling served as a good opportunity for correction," said Yutaka Miura, a senior technical analyst at Mizuho Securities. "But European debt issues will likely take years to be resolved, and we need to be prepared for a sell-off like this again as the Japanese market could easily get hit by a strong yen when investors buy the yen." The Nikkei added 247.60 points to 12,468.23 after sliding 2.7 percent on Monday, its biggest one-day drop in 10 months. The index is just 0.74 percent away from a 4-1/2 year high of 12,560.95 marked last Friday. Ahead of a parliamentary vote in Cyprus that will either secure the island's financial rescue or threaten default, euro zone ministers have urged Cyprus to let smaller savers escape a controversial levy on bank deposits. Still, investors are concerned that forcing ordinary citizens to fund bank rescues up front, through a tax on deposits, is setting a precedent that could lead to other bailout countries imposing something similar on depositors. On Tuesday, Monday losers such as exporters and financials were bought back. Sony Corp surged 6

The Avanti Group: The Engineers Lost Aboard Titanic/Redgage - 1 views

    the avanti group engineering reviews When the Titanic went down she took with her the lives of many brave people including her entire complement of engineers under the control of Joseph Bell, the Chief Engineer Officer. His staff consisted of 24 engineers, 6 electrical engineers, two boilermakers, a plumber and his clerk. In addition many of the firemen and coal trimmers were lost. Despite the library of books which has been written about Titanic the engineers, the role they played and the ultimate sacrifice they made, have received scant comment in these published works. The reason for this could be the fact that no engineer survived and so there was no verbal evidence of the role they played. The evidence of their important role is, however, plain to see for the ship stayed afloat longer than it would have done had they not sacrificed their lives for the good of others. This brief note attempts to explain what the engineers did during those crucial hours before the ship foundered and in presenting this information it is hoped that the bravery of these men will be acknowledged by all who have studied the ship and its brief history. This document dealing with Titanic`s engineers is divided into the following sections: I. Engineers` Duties 2. The Collision 3. After the Collision 4. Engineers` Purple Engineers` Duties All ships of the period had an engineering routine and this varied from company to company but for any steam ship there was a need to keep well manned watches in engine and boiler rooms. A large passenger liner like the Titanic needed a number of engineers on each watch {12 to 4, 4 to 8 and 8 to 12, am and pm} these men supervising the firemen, greasers and coal trimmers and tending the machinery/boilers under their control. Engineers would have been on duty in the boiler rooms and the engine rooms (reciprocating engines and turbine). The Chief Engineer would not have kept a watch but the majority of the other engineers would have done so. There were si

    Henan Morgan Assembly Chain Gate Boiler Product structure: Up and down drums, convection bank, water wall tube, down comer and header. Up and down drum vertical layout, combustion equipment with the chain conveyor chain grate and stepless speed change device driver. Advantages: 1.Combustion and both sides of the furnace chamber adopt membrane water-cooling wall structure. With this kind of structure, the boiler has a high heat transmission coefficient, low heat loss, good airtightness, no distortion for furnace wall and no ash leakage. 2.Furnace front and rear water wall tube extend down to the upper portion of the grate and form the front and back arch, which extends the span of arch. 3. Inverted "α" arch furnace technology makes the front arch high and short, rear arch low and long. This structure increases the burning time of the flue gas in the furnace so as to improve the combustion efficiency. Besides, the streamline shape of back arch can throw the left carbon grains from the back furnace grate into the front so that the coal is easier to get ignited. Finally, many types of coal can be applied in the boiler. 4.The length of the front and back shaft is longer than the other domestic ones, which prolongs the time of fuel combustion in the furnace and lower the carbon content in the furnace slag. Thus, the overload ability of the boiler is strengthened with the increased effect area of furnace grate. 5.Wind is fed from both sides of the boiler. Six independent air chambers can respectively adjust the air volume so as to achieve the best combustion effect. Henan Morgan Assembly Chain Gate Boiler

Heritage: Soap-boiler, social reformer, MP and tribal chieftain - the life of William L... - 1 views

  •  
    the avanti group In the latest of our series commemorating the life and work of people honoured with blue plaques, Adam Sonin explores the fascinating history of soap manufacturer and philanthropist William Lever. Soap-boiler, social reformer, MP, tribal chieftain, multi-millionaire and Lord of the Western Isles. He employed workmen from the Mersey to the Congo and they all called him 'Chief'. His peers knew him as William Lever, later to become first Viscount Leverhulme. When he was made a Baronet in 1911 he chose the motto Mutare Vel Timere Sperno: "I spurn to change or fear." Throughout his life his favourite novel was Charles Dickens' David Copperfield (1850). He owned a string of grand houses packed full of antiques, artworks and treasures, all "guarded" by tiger-skin rugs. He was known to often sleep outdoors, in all weathers, and on a simple iron bed. Evelyn Waugh, a near neighbour, described his house, then under construction, as "Italianite". His model village, Port Sunlight, near his soapworks in Birkenhead, ranks alongside Henrietta Barnett's Hampstead Garden Suburb as one of England's great experiments in town planning. Barnett was also a near neighbour. The food manufacturer, Sir Angus Watson (1874-1961), described him as "thickset in stature, with a sturdy body set on short legs and a massive head covered with thick, upstanding hair, he radiated force and energy". Sir Angus continued: "He had piercing, blue-grey eyes which, however, flashed with challenge when he was angry," and "the short neck and closely-set ears of a prize-fighter". William Hesketh Lever, first Viscount Leverhulme (1851-1925), soap manufacturer and philanthropist, was born on 19 September, at 16 Wood Street, Bolton. Seven years earlier, writing in The Condition Of The Working Class In England, Friedrich Engels (1820-1895) described the town as "one of the worst in Britain... badly and irregularly built, with foul courts, lanes and back al

The Avanti Group: Is Bitcoin's bubble finally bursting/Wordpress - 1 views

  •  
    the avanti group prcode81345782170 TAG Bitcoin is a digital currency based on some fancy cryptography that is designed to facilitate anonymous transfers, and resist regulation by government. A Bitcoin is essentially a claim on a string of numbers (that take the place of a physical coin) that can be bought and sold. There are exchanges that will convert between bitcoin and other currencies, and even some merchants who will take bitcoin in cash. The idea of an anonymous digital currency itself is not new. David Chaum proposed the concept of electronic cash and developed a scheme in the 1980′s. Chaum's currency proposals never did really get off the ground, but his keynote address at the first World Wide Web conference had a major impact on the development of the Web. Bitcoin itself is largely based on hashcash, a 'proof of work' scheme proposed by Adam Back in the 1990′s as a way to stop spam. The idea behind hashcash was to increase the cost of sending email to the point that spam became uneconomic by requiring each sender to perform a quantity of computational make-work. Before the rise of Bitcoin in 2009, the most successful scheme of this kind was E-Gold, which operated from 1996 until it was shut down by the Secret Service in 2007. E-Gold tapped into the libertarian ideology of anonymous cash, but their technology fell far short of the rhetoric. E-Gold wasn't really anonymous, and wasn't even located outside US jurisdiction. The company was registered in St. Nevis and Kitts, the datacenter was located in Florida. The idea that E-Gold somehow operated outside the scope of US regulation was a spectacular example of self-delusion by their management. E-Gold wasn't an anonymous currency as such, it was an exchange that allowed customers to transfer ownership of gold between them. Which was sufficient to allow its use as a means of avoiding government controls on money transfers. When the system was shut down, some of the largest compl

    The Avanti Group Hong Kong Project TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanse overheid goedgekeurde plannen om te nemen op de thecountry regionale monopolie elektriciteit leveranciers in de meest ambitieuze poging om revisie van het land energie-industrie, twee jaar na de kernramp Fukushima. De plannen, gericht op splitsen macht opwekking en transmissie operaties van utilities, zal proberen te maken een national grid en dereguleren elektriciteitsprijzen in het derde-grootste economie van de wereld. Kabinet van de premier Shinzo Abe keurt de voorstellen op dinsdag. Abe is duwen om deregulering van de economie van Japan in het kader van plannen voor de bevordering van de groei die sinds een actief zeepbel buste in the1990s heeft gesmacht. Maar energie-hervorming is waarschijnlijk geconfronteerd met verzet van de monopolies die bestaan uit Tokyo Electric Power Co en Kansai Electric Power Co, die graag willen vasthouden aan hun gevangenschap markten. Nutsbedrijven, bureaucraten en politici hebben lang gepleit dat Japan het systeem van regionale monopolies die centrales en transmissie-en distributienetwerken eigen speelt een sleutelrol in de elektriciteitsvoorziening vitale stabiliteit kan garanderen. Dat argument was onderboden door de tekorten in 2011 na een aardbeving en tsunami's werelds ergste kernongeluk in 25 jaar in Tokyo Electric Fukushima Daiichi fabriek, die wijdverbreid straling verontreiniging veroorzaakt in gang gezet. De hervormingsplannen zijn ingesteld om te worden uitgevoerd in drie fasen, met de verwijdering van de regionale hulpprogramma's greep op de transmissie en verdeling van de macht gepland voor de laatste etappe in rond 2018-2020 te helpen nieuwkomers concurreren op basis van niveau. Een landelijke elektriciteitsnet is gepland om in 2015 worden gelanceerd in de eerste fase te laten regionale monopolies elektriciteit buiten hun regio's onder toezicht van een onafhankelijk bureau overbrengen.
