Asia will be the largest and most dynamic regional market during the 2019-2033 forecast period, with key programs getting underway in several countries, such as India, Japan, and South Korea.

NEWTOWN, Conn. (PRWEB)
September 11, 2019

Data generated by Forecast International through its innovative Platinum Forecast System 4.0 indicate that several planned new-start acquisition programs will kick-start demand in the long term in the light military rotorcraft market. Forecast International projects that 1,854 light military rotorcraft will be produced during the 15-year timeframe between 2019 and 2033.

The value of this production is estimated at $29 billion (in constant 2019 U.S. dollars). In general, the Connecticut-based defense intelligence firm defines a light military rotorcraft as having a maximum gross weight of less than 6,804 kilograms (15,000 lb).

Production of light military rotorcraft is forecast to increase to 155 units in 2019, from 153 in 2018. The annual output is then projected to decline over the next several years and average about 111 units beginning in 2026 and extending to the end of the 15-year forecast period.

Re-equipment cycles are nearing an end in the U.S. and many European countries, and the next round of fleet modernization programs for these nations is still some years away. According to Forecast International senior aerospace analyst Raymond Jaworowski, “Asia will be the largest and most dynamic regional market during the 2019-2033 forecast period, with key programs getting underway in several countries, such as India, Japan, and South Korea.” Indeed, India has a number of stated future requirements for light rotorcraft, totaling hundreds of helicopters, but budgetary and other factors could result in some of these efforts being delayed or even shelved.

Toward the end of the forecast period, production will ramp up for key programs such as the U.S. Army’s Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) program and the French military’s Helicoptere Interarmees Leger (HIL) effort, setting the stage for a return to market growth.

Forecast International projects that production for the FARA program will be worth an estimated $4.8 billion by 2033, representing 16.6 percent of the market by value and 8.7 percent by unit production. Also, production of the FARA platform will continue well beyond 2033.

Plans call for the FARA contract to be awarded following a staged downselect and a competitive fly-off. Five companies are currently engaged in initial development work for the program: Bell, Boeing. Karem Aircraft, Sikorsky, and a team of AVX Aircraft and L3Harris.

Overall, Forecast International’s market share projections indicate that China’s AVIC will lead the light military rotorcraft market in unit production, producing 331 units over the 15-year forecast period for a market share of 17.9 percent. Airbus Helicopters is next, with production of 324 units for a 17.5 percent share. Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) of India is third on production of 245 units, representing a 13.2 percent share. Bell is projected to be fourth, with production of 173 units for a 9.3 percent share. Finally, KAI of South Korea will rank fifth, with production of 145 rotorcraft for a 7.8 percent market share.

California, Florida, Hawaii and Nevada timeshare sale, gifts and deed backs

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (PRWEB)
August 22, 2019

At the time of purchase from a resort, the owner enters into a contract to pay on-going maintenance fees. Regardless if the timeshare is used or not the owner is obligated to pay the maintenance fees. Tip Sheet by Deed and Record considers options available to timeshare owners to stop paying maintenance fees for timeshares located in California, Florida, Hawaii and Nevada.

The first option is to not pay maintenance fees and this option has problems. Timeshare companies are aggressive in collecting their fees. Often collection is assigned to a third-party collection agency who are relentless and threatening. Worse the timeshare owners credit history is adversely impacted.

A better option is to sell the timeshare. But the resale market for timeshares is thin. Timeshare owners are often shocked to find the resale value is pennies on the dollar of the original purchase price. There are timeshare brokers in the resale market. But brokers will want payment of fees upfront. This is because supply exceeds demand and the success of a commission from a sale is low. For many timeshare resorts there is no resale market.

A common option is to gift the timeshare. An owner knows of a friend or relative will use the timeshare. Full disclosure of the maintenance fees is a moral obligation. The new owner has access to the timeshare and is responsible for the maintenance fees.

Some timeshare companies are willing to take the timeshare back. The process is referred to as a “deed back.” The timeshare owner deeds back ownership to the timeshare company in exchange for relief from the maintenance fees.

Most owners of timeshares located in California, Florida, Hawaii and Nevada are contractually obligated to pay annual maintenance fees. Options available for relief of maintenances fees are sell, gift or “deed back” the timeshare. Gifts have the moral obligation of full disclosure of the maintenance fee prior to the gift.

This Tip Sheet was provided by Mark W. Bidwell. Mr. Bidwell markets primarily through a website, http://www.deedandrecord.com. Address is 4952 Warner Avenue, Suite 235, Huntington Beach, CA 92649. Phone number is 714-846-2888.

“Vitarock is committed to supporting the growing number of people choosing gluten-free products for personal and medical reasons, including the increasing number of people diagnosed with celiac disease,” explains Alicja Wojewnik, Founder and Owner of Vitarock.

TORONTO (PRWEB)
September 10, 2019

Vitarock, the leading online health & beauty wellness shop, announces a new ‘Gluten-Free Shop’ containing many popular certified gluten-free products, verified by Vitarock. Consumers look to Vitarock as a trusted source of pre-screened healthy alternatives for everyday products. As a certified B Corporation, Vitarock guarantees its products to be pure, green, safe, and fair.

“Healthy, pure, certified gluten-free products continue to be one of the most requested items by shoppers. Vitarock is committed to supporting the growing number of people choosing gluten-free products for personal and medical reasons, including the increasing number of people diagnosed with celiac disease,” explains Alicja Wojewnik, Founder and Owner of Vitarock. “Vitarock is committed to pre-screening and verifying each product to ensure the highest quality and safety for our consumers.”

Celiac disease is recognized as one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide (Health Canada 2008). The disease affects an estimated 1% (1/133) of Canadians and Americans and less than 10% of people with celiac disease have been diagnosed. Digestive health, nutritional value, weight loss, healthier skin, and many other reasons have been the primary drivers for gluten-free product consumption.

Interest in gluten-free foods is likely to remain high as the reasons for avoiding gluten continues to grow. The rising incidence rate of celiac disease and the even larger segment of those with gluten-sensitivity will continue to drive gluten-free product consumption. Vitarock is proud to partner with the growing number of consumers seeking gluten-free products through their dedicated, convenient and safe Gluten-Free Shop.

The new Gluten-Free Shop includes favorite everyday products including food, beauty & personal care, health & fitness, home care products, and celiac-safe products.

Being recognized with one of the most prestigious awards in the glass industry is especially satisfying.

GREENFIELD, Ind. (PRWEB)
September 11, 2019

Modernfold, Inc. is proud to announce that its new 51 STC acoustical glass product has won the 2019 Glass Magazine R&D Award. The award honors important research and development efforts by the Greenfield, Indiana company, enabling architects and designers to select 51 STC acoustical glass whenever they specify Acousti-Clear® movable glass wall systems and achieving levels of sound transmission control previously unavailable with the design and daylighting possibilities of glass.

Winners of the 2019 Glass Magazine Awards were announced Sept. 3. The magazine’s prestigious glass and metal industry awards program recognizes the best products and glass applications the commercial, retail and fabrication markets have to offer.

“It’s a matter of great pride to our company and to me personally to receive this award,” said Bryan Welch, Modernfold Managing Director. “We devoted a great deal of time and effort to the research and development of this state-of-the-art acoustical glass for architectural applications. Both the design community and the overall market have responded powerfully to the capabilities that 51 STC glass enables, and being recognized with one of the most prestigious awards in the glass industry is especially satisfying.”

Acousti-Clear® movable wall systems provide a lasting, visually appealing, superbly flexible way to structure and restructure interior spaces. Before the development of the new product, they provided the high-end look of glass with 45 STC. The newly available 51 STC rating for acoustical glass enables new possibilities, changing the way architects and designers use movable glass walls within a variety of spaces requiring space flexibility and sound control.

Wherever Acousti-Clear® is selected, it delivers exceptional daylighting capabilities and design aesthetics that are only available with glass. Adding the unmatched effectiveness of 51 STC acoustical control further enhances the advantages of the Acousti-Clear® line for schools, offices, meeting areas and anywhere it’s essential to confine sounds within selected spaces.

Modernfold’s new 51 STC sound control advancement is offered in all three product lines: Acousti-Clear® Motorized, Acousti-Clear® Automatic, and Acousti-Clear® Demountable.

Project awards in the program were selected by a panel of judges representing all segments of the glass and glazing industry. The judges chose winners in each project category and cast votes to determine the first Glass Magazine Award Project of the Year.

This year, Glass Magazine opened voting in the Product Award categories to readers. “The 2019 Glass Magazine Awards include impressive products, systems, equipment and more to serve all segments of the glass and glazing industry. Who better to determine this year’s most standout products than those across the industry—from the field to the factory—who will be the ones to use these innovations?” said Katy Devlin, editor-in-chief.

The winners for both project and product categories will be featured in the September 2019 issue of Glass Magazine, the Sept. 3 edition of e‐glass weekly and on GlassMagazine.com. Winners will also be recognized Sept. 18 at the Express Learning Theater during GlassBuild America: The Glass, Window & Door Expo in Atlanta.

Worldwide Business with kathy ireland® and Structure House

Structure House is a healthy weight loss and wellness program for adult men and women.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
August 30, 2019

Worldwide Business with kathy ireland® is pleased to announce an exclusive interview with Structure House CEO/Licensed Clinical Psychologist Katie Rickel and Division President Bill Mason to discuss their life-changing weight loss and wellness program.

Structure House is a healthy weight loss and wellness program for adult men and women. Structure House utilizes a holistic approach that integrates behavioral skills training, nutritional expertise and fitness conditioning in a healing and supportive environment to achieve lasting results. Since 1977, Structure House has built the foundation for healthy living, sustainable weight management and recovery from emotional overeating for more than forty-thousand people. Recognizing that many people may need weight loss to improve their health and physical functioning, Structure House provides evidence-based, healthy behavioral weight management. Much more than a diet program, Structure House helps people develop the behaviors, attitudes and lifestyle that will instill a lifelong (versus “quick-fix”) approach to healthy habits. Their customized weight management services help guests embrace their strengths, heal their bodies and create lasting, positive change. The ultimate goal of the program is to help people live the life they most want to live. Structure House is located on twelve beautiful acres of land in Durham, North Carolina. Rickel says that Structure House is very different than other weight loss programs. She explains, “Most weight loss programs focus almost exclusively on what not to eat and how much to exercise. What we’ve learned is that that’s really an oversimplification of a pretty complex issue. And that’s where Structure House is really a game changer for people. For the first time, they’re looking at their life more globally and seeing what patterns or dynamics may be making it difficult, if not impossible, to lose weight and keep it off.”
