Beginning of a prestigious career in aircraft maintenance engineering

For anyone who is fed up with the sheep culture, which is currently rampant around the world, he or she should really look into a career in aviation. Our world, and even more so our country India, is teeming with engineers and doctors of all kinds. And in such a scenario, an aviation course like aircraft maintenance course might seem like an interesting option.

Aircraft maintenance engineering certainly sounds like just another branch of engineering, but luckily it’s not.

Now that we have an exciting and prestigious career option ahead of us, let’s see what exactly it consists of.

First things first, it is very important to understand that an aircraft maintenance engineer is not an aircraft engineer. The latter is a branch of engineering that is commonly known as aerospace engineering and is a 4-year degree course. AME on the other hand is a 3 year course, upon completion you do not get a degree but a license.

An aircraft maintenance engineer assists in the maintenance, repair, rebuilding, and servicing of aircraft at a technical level. A daily part of Ames’ job is to conduct aircraft overhaul programs and assess the condition of aircraft and their engines. Only a maintenance engineer can certify whether or not an aircraft is fit to fly. Without the permission and certification of an AME, an aircraft is not allowed to take off.

Let us now move on to the eligibility and requirements:

  • A 10+2 in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics is a prerequisite for the entrance exam, with at least 50% added.

  • A diploma in any branch of engineering.

  • Degree with 10+2 in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.

To start a career as an aircraft maintenance engineer, you must obtain an AME license, which requires you to appear in a certification exam conducted by the Indian Aeronautical Society. However, to clear that up, he needs to enroll in a DGCA approved aircraft maintenance training institute as only they can impart the necessary knowledge and experience to him.

The AME exam consists of 2 parts, which are written exams and an oral and practical exam.

The written exam consists of 4 tests. These are:

  • rules and regulations

  • General Engineering and Workshop Practices

  • Airframes, engines and general systems

  • Airframe/Engine/Specific system as desired by the candidate

The oral-practical test requires candidates to demonstrate their skills and knowledge in aircraft maintenance. This test involves an industry expert and requires a minimum pass rate of 70%.

The Crack in Business and Government Leadership: Discussion of Jobs and Political Rhetoric

We keep hearing how President Obama and the Democrats in Congress are going to provide jobs for Americans. They tell us that as we switch to alternative energy they will create millions of jobs, but that is just bullshit and nonsense. The reality is that the combination of wind and solar is only 1% of our total usage, and you haven’t been told it took 3 decades to get to that point. Leaders tell us how their stimulus and bailouts will help revive jobs, that’s complete nonsense, and let me explain.

If you remember, the US government had bailed out Wall Street to recapitalize the banks and unfreeze the credit markets, but very few banks are lending to small businesses, the real job creators. You see, 80% of Americans are employed by small businesses, not large American corporations. Still, the president continually has business roundtables with big companies, not small ones. Worse yet, at a recent business and jobs meeting there were no CEOs there, really no small business owners either. In fact, there was no one in the room who had had to make a payroll.

Remember the Obama administration promised Americans healthcare a right and even claimed we would cut medical costs, cut insurance and save Medicare. In my opinion, that is crazy, and I say; “What a bunch of nonsense indeed.” Health care costs continue to skyrocket, an ER visit WITHOUT operation costs $7500 for just 3-4 hours, most of it is usually spent waiting in line. Sure, health care insurance may foot the bill, but that means higher insurance for everyone.

President Obama’s solution; Just health care insurance companies that will increase regulations and audits if premiums rise? Catch-22 for them, but that can only work for so long. A business that cannot increase profits as costs skyrocket cannot stay in business. Are we going to rescue them too? And with whose money can I ask? And if we go to a fully government run health insurance plan, we already know what will happen; they will spend 45% managing red tape before spending a dollar on actual health care costs. That 45% is pretty widespread across all government agencies, I’m not making this up or pulling numbers out of my underpants here.

And when it comes to trade, President Obama claims to know everything? “Oh really,” I ask. Are you saying that he will triple our exports? Sure, our exports will triple as the global economy returns, but our product inputs will also increase, by more than five times. That’s only slightly higher than it was before the global economic crisis. Thus, trade deficits will be a nightmare, and the recovery of employment is an illusion. The reality is that the Obama Administration [in my observation, opinion, and from my point-of-view] it is a complete nightmare for free enterprise and industry, and in my opinion, a complete failure to create jobs [just look at all the charts]. Many of those who were unemployed and whose unemployment benefits ran out have stopped looking for work.

Because? Well, we weaken them by giving them free fish instead of teaching them how to fish or there are just no jobs, they know that and they think it’s a waste of time to try. Meanwhile, small businesses are largely not hiring. Again, why should they with all the uncertainty? Big Parma is the latest to take its production abroad to South Korea and China, and President Obama is going to re-sign the South Korean trade agreement, but why? It has always been an uneven and unbalanced trade. How does that help jobs in America? Am I going too far in condemning the performance of the Obama Administration you ask? Certainly not, and it’s not just me saying this anymore, there are hundreds of articles in the mainstream media every day about this reality, it’s no secret.

You see, I’ve been carefully clipping various articles, actual data, and comparing it to those speeches and those of the Obama Administration, the Democrats in Congress, and reading actual teleprompter scripts from President Obama himself. It turns out that almost none of this political rhetoric is grounded in reality, it’s just a lot of PR with very little viable leadership in my opinion. No, you are not surprised, nor am I naive enough to believe that anything will ever change, regardless of who takes office. Even so, we all know that it is not working, since we all have friends and/or neighbors, acquaintances who do not have a job.

Our current leadership, in my opinion, is unfit to lead, and these speeches have run their course and are now ineffective. You and I should not be fooled, and therefore we are not; neither are most Americans, and the best thing the Obama Administration can do right now is to get out of the way. Let’s help them do that, let’s vote to remove them from office along with the entire Democratic Leadership in Congress. Please consider all this.

** I’ve put together some reading material for you below, so you know I’m not fuming and this isn’t purely a political hit. It’s just how I see it, after reviewing the situation. Each of these articles contains pieces of the puzzle and the truth (I say pieces because we all realize that we can’t believe everything in the news, just like we can’t believe everything our politicians tell us at the podium). I hope you will do your own research and consider what I am saying.

Boutique and Low-key: Yorkville Toronto Luxury Condominium Buildings Under 50 Suites

There are a handful of luxury condominium buildings in Yorkville Toronto that have fewer than fifty suites. Ownership has its privileges, as privacy and discretion are built-in standard features of these luxury boutique buildings. Often one does not know their exact location, as their discreet private entrances provide the only evidence that they exist. Unlike their high-rise counterparts, the floor plans and architecture of the suites in luxury boutique buildings tend to be more original, pleasing, and innovative, with many suites occupying full or half floors. Luxury boutique buildings also provide owners with an intimate living environment. A smaller but more dedicated building staff can focus on the personal needs of each individual resident. However, this privacy and discretion comes at a price. Living large in a luxury boutique building in Yorkville costs more. Maintenance fees are higher than in larger buildings, since there are fewer unit owners to share the costs of building amenities and upkeep.

No. 155 Cumberland Street Fifteen Suites Since the early 1960s, a unique two-story penthouse stood atop the office tower at 130 Bloor Street West. Accessed from a discreet entrance in Cumberland, it belonged to philanthropists and socialite couple Rose and Noah Torno. The 10,000 square foot penthouse was designed in the modernist style of famed American architect Philip Johnson with large windows and grand floor plans. In creating N 155 Cumberland Street, the development team retained Torno’s two-story penthouse on levels 13 and 14 and built it up and down creating high-end residences that reflected the architectural design and quality of this original penthouse. The existing 11th and 12th floors were converted from office space into five condominium suites. Seven new levels, adding an additional nine suites, were also built on top of the original penthouse creating an irregular tower clad in limestone. Residents use the same private entrance that the Tornos did, which opens into a luxurious lobby with two private express elevators. All suites have large terraces or balconies and outdoor barbecues are allowed. The ceiling heights are eleven feet and the penthouse and sub-penthouse levels have twelve foot ceiling heights. Interior finishes were done by builder Joe Brennan with suites featuring floor-to-ceiling unobstructed windows and radiant in-floor heating.

Janelle Atkinson, for example, was the second best swimmer in Latin America, after Claudia Poll (Costa Rica), in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Miss Atkinson, a graduate of the Bolles School (Jacksonville, Florida ), placed fourth in the women’s 400 m freestyle at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. At the 1999 Pan American Games in North America, she won three silver medals. Fifteen years ago, in 1984, Island swimmer Andrew Phillips finished sixth in the men’s individual 200-meter medley -which consists of the butterfly, breaststroke, backstroke and freestyle- at the Games of the XXIII Olympiad in America, ahead of Nikolai Klapkarek and Ralf Diegel (both from Germany).

Review of Sun Dog Diner – Neptune Beach, Florida

A favorite beach in North Florida, this art deco restaurant serves an eclectic mix of American and tropical cuisine. Entrees range from the simple to the sublime, incorporating fresh Mayport shrimp and fish, chicken, pork and beef or a combination thereof.

If you like your sandwiches thick and hot – juicy burgers and Reubens, or heroes with a side of fries or onion rings – this is the place to be after a day of surfing the shoreline or skimming the sand. If you’re feeling especially in the mood to splurge, complement the belt-busting meal with a creamy shake that’s sure to clog straws. At night, the place jumps out with live entertainment and socializes in its trendy cigar lounge. As the place can seem compact, it’s best to be cautious when sitting if you have a problem with smoke.

Brunch is also a delight. Their blueberry oatmeal pancakes are legendary among the Jacksonville fitness crowd. But you don’t have to be a runner or triathlete to enjoy them and the many omelettes and egg dishes served on weekends. One of the best things about Sun Dog is that you can eat healthy or decadent depending on your fitness and mood.

Located in Neptune Beach at 207 Atlantic Blvd (go another 100 yards and you’ll be on the ocean), the Sun Dog Diner is generally open daily for lunch and dinner, while serving brunch on the weekends. Hours may vary seasonally, so be sure to call ahead. They have a full bar and a small stage for live music. Parking can be a problem on busy nights and weekends, so wear comfortable shoes and enjoy a walk on the beach before or after dinner.

Sudan Holiya Festival 2010

In this event the anniversary of the death of the saint is celebrated. This provides a perfect meeting place for different people belonging to different places and different social status. These events are generally celebrations for sheikhs and saints. Sudan contains a multitude of Sufi movements, with diverse origins and characteristics, and this festival is one of them. People often take flights to Sudan as it has now been recognized as the center of great festivities. Some groups formed in the 15th century by Sufi masters from Iraq, Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt attend these celebrations. The sheikhs of Sudan play an essential role in their religious communities by planning and listening, blessing, reassuring and guiding the people. Sheikh is considered a teacher and people follow him.

The Holiya festival is popular with men who take cheap flights to Sudan with cheap flights to Sudan and gather under the Burhani flag during the long Holiya night to start the hadra ritual. This Sufi fare is also known as dhikr and continues from midnight until dawn. It is a common belief that purifies the hearts of the disciples and leads them to a subtle and refined state of ecstasy. The women do not directly participate in these celebrations, but they also take flights to Sudan to be absorbed by the haunting melodies sung by the munshidin. This festival begins with the parade and delegates from other Sufi orders from all regions of Sudan. These delegations move forward with happy steps, in contrast to the seriousness of the sheikh, who receives each group with a prayer of greeting.

The event is divided into three sections; the first installment is the anniversary of the death of a saint is celebrated. Visitors from cheap flights to Sudan of all stripes, as well as executives from the Sudanese professional elite, farmers from the countryside, merchants from the city, women and children all join in communal rituals to attend this opening ceremony of Sufi fare. . In the second section there is a report on 1250 students from Koranic schools from 6 to 18 years of age. These children follow a very traditional teaching and lifestyle. Here the man joins the ecstatic dance and the repetition of the name of God, to the rhythm of the songs that are performed throughout the night by the best singers in the country. Both Muslim and other religious visitors who take cheap flights to Sudan enjoy these God-pleasing activities. The third and final section brings together portraits of Sudanese Sufi spiritual masters who close the event.

Kenya Safari: Most Recommended Safari Sites, Places and Activities in Africa

Kenya straddles the equator with the peaks of Mount Kenya, the second highest mountain in Africa, rising from a natural setting of outstanding beauty, Kenya is a very rewarding place to travel. It’s not possible to see everything Kenya has to offer in one trip, and I wouldn’t suggest you try.

Things you can’t miss on a safari

Climb Mount Kenya: Africa’s second highest peak, topped by a glacier. Mount Kenya is an extinct volcano that straddles the equator. You can hike the lower slopes at will, but if you attempt the 5,200-meter summit, you need to go slowly enough to acclimatize to the attitude.

Turkana Land Safari: Remote Turkana is best visited on a camping safari from Nairobi, which involves days of stumbling through arid wilderness encounters with local people, wildlife and swollen rivers.

Rhino Sanctuaries Kenya has several of these, such as the Solia Game Ranch near Aberdares, which offers the chance to see black and white rhino.

Balloon safaris are an unforgettable experience, almost worth every penny of the $400 you’ll pay to fly over the plains at sunrise (around $5 a minute).

Kakamega Forest – An isolated patch of equatorial forest that once encircled the breadth of Africa, Kakamega is a haven for hundreds of species that exist nowhere else in Kenya.

Eco-lodges: Some of Kenya’s boats are great if expensive, lodging in pristine parks and reserves like in the Shompole conservancy.

Cave Skulls: The Taitas keep the exhumed skulls of their deceased in hidden rock niches, an example of traditional religious practice that is becoming increasingly rare.

Dhow Trips: Sinbad the Sailor for a day on a leisurely dhow cruise around Lamu

Bird Watching: Kenya’s diverse habitats account for its remarkable 1,070 species of birds, including this Von der Decken’s hornbill. Even the uninitiated are quick to convert, so grab a pair of binoculars.

Diving and Snorkelling: Kenya’s coral reef has excellent underwater opportunities with dive schools at all the major centers and snorkel gear widely available to rent for a couple of hours. Wasini, Watamu and Kiwaiyu are prominent sites

The tea country of Kericho, the tea capital of Kenya and the most important center for the bush in all of Africa, is surrounded by an endless rippling sea of ​​brilliant green plantations.

A cozy island getaway with no shortage of things to do, Lamu also has some of the best-preserved old-town architecture in Africa, many of the houses dating back hundreds of years.

Handicrafts: Woodcarving is the stock of Kenyan curio sellers, but there is a myriad of other handicrafts to tempt you from magnificent cloth-wrapped garments to musical instruments.

The Masai Mara wildebeest migration watching the cacophonous herds from the banks of the Mara River, which has swollen from flooding, especially at one of the deadly, crocodile-infested crossing points, is one of nature’s most awe-inspiring experiences. Migration takes place between July and October.

Nyama choma The most popular big food in Kenya is Nyama Choma or roast meat (goat, lamb or beef) and lots of beer. Nyama Choma bars are found all over the country.

Live Music: Any weekend it is easy to find live music in the towns. Nairobi is the main focus with dozens of clubs and bands, but wherever you are, taxi drivers or hotel staff can help point you in the right direction.

Bushwalks Immerse yourself in the bush experience by heading out on bushwalks offered at game lodges in and around a number of parks and reserves, including the Maasai Mara.

Gedi ruins the hauntingly atmospheric ruins of an abandoned 17th-century Swahili town – take time to wander the shady jungle paths away from the main site.

Mzima emerges as a remarkable oasis in the Tsavo West National Park. Bubbling with crystal clear water and inhabited by hippo crocodiles and diversity of smaller species.

Fort Jesus Mombasa – the site of gruesome battles between the Portuguese and Arab colonizers and the local population – today the fort’s spacious and leafy interior houses an excellent historical museum.

Tiwi Beach, simply one of the best beaches in Kenya, easily accessible from Mombasa and less crowded than Diani Beach further south.

The Cook Islands have much to offer to those staying at a Rarotonga resort

If you’re looking for a place in the South Pacific to relax and soak up the culture, a Rarotonga resort in the captivating Cook Islands is a must. These islands are a stunning jewel in the ocean, with 15 idyllic islands surrounded by white-sand beaches and clear turquoise lagoons.

The Cook Islands are believed to have been first settled around 2,400 years ago, although historians say the best-known of the islands in the group, Rarotonga, was settled around 1,500 years ago. They believe that the locals who live there today originally immigrated from Asia during the great Polynesian migration.

In 1888, the islands became a British protectorate. Then in 1901 the Cook Islands became a dependency of New Zealand. Sixty years later, it became a ruling state. The islands have become very popular among international tourists who love the sun, the sea, friendly people and a relaxed atmosphere. Rarotonga is the most popular place to visit here and you don’t have to look far on the island to find a fabulous Rarotonga resort for your accommodation. A ring road called Ara Tapu connects all the resorts, cities and towns, making it easy to travel around the island.

Rarotongan’s weather is lovely, making it the perfect place for a holiday in the sun, with warm water, swaying coconut trees and a whispering breeze that will lull you into thinking you’ve truly arrived in paradise. As well as being the most popular island for tourists, Raratonga is the capital of the Cook Islands, but you can easily travel by boat or plane to some of the other nearby islands, such as Aitutaki or Atiu.

When you fly to Rarotonga, you will arrive at Nikao Airport, which is about 2 km from the village of Avarua on the north side of the island. The eastern side of the island features the popular Muri village, which is also the main tourist area. It’s easy to find an excellent Rarotonga resort in Muri, which is centered around the beach and lagoon. On the western side of the island is the town of Aroa, which can be reached via the ring road by rental car, scooter, bus or bicycle. If you are particularly energetic, you may like to walk! Your Rarotonga resort hosts will be happy to help you sort out your travel requirements while you’re on the island.

Manila

Manila has it all, and it is the heart of the Philippines. Manila, the capital city, is a bustling heart of fantastic shopping and more incredible nightlife than any of its neighboring countries. Manila is the best example of a place that has something to offer for everyone. Manila has more than 30 airlines that fly to different cities around the world. Manila is just one part of the larger Metro Manila capital region, which includes the city of Makati. Manila should be the commercial capital of Asia.
