Trumps speech on 07-29 spent good deal of time trashing Boeing's China Deal


For the first time ever, Boeing will open an airplane completion and delivery center in China. Final assembly of the aircraft will still happen in the United States, but then the mostly complete 737s will be delivered to China for installation of their interiors and painting in the liveries of their ultimate owners.

Says Boeing, the "China-based facility will not reduce 737 Program employment in Washington State." To the contrary, by increasing capacity for "completion" work overseas, Boeing says it will be able to increase actual production of 737s back here at home.

At current production rates (42 single-aisles built per month), it would take Boeing more than 100 months to build and deliver all 4,269 of the 737s in its backlog. That's probably why, when announcing its new Chinese venture, Boeing took pains to repeat its already-published plans to accelerate 737 production to 47 airplanes per month in 2017, and 52 planes per month in 2018. (The company has also talked about a secret plan to boost production a further 15% after that -- to 60 planes per month.)

Putin has long held a grudge against Clinton for trying to weaken his rule when he was most vulnerab

In December 2011, Vladimir Putin came closer than he’s ever been to losing his hold on power. His decision that year to run for a third term as Russia’s President had inspired a massive protest movement against him. Demonstrations calling for him to resign were attracting hundreds of thousands of people across the country. Some of his closest allies had defected to the opposition, causing a split in the Kremlin elites, and Russian state media had begun to warn of a revolution in the making.

At a crisis meeting with his advisers on Dec. 8 of that year, the Russian leader chose to lay the blame on one meddling foreign diplomat: U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

“She set the tone for certain actors inside the country; she gave the signal,” Putin said of Clinton at the time, accusing her of ordering the opposition movement into action like some kind of revolutionary sleeper cell. “They heard this signal and, with the support of the U.S. State Department, started actively doing their work.”

FYI - I just installed windows 10 free upgrade, Offer ends July 29, 2016.

The latest version of windows 10 (Use Media Creation Tool to download) lets you do a clean install and use your old win7 product key without having win7 installed first. My student discount win7 pro upgrade I got for $29, the product key activated win10 pro just fine

You can Clean install the free Upgrade without needing to Upgrade first using Fall Update version 1511 bootable media now available in Media Creation Tool. Skip Product Key during install then activate after install with your Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 Product Key.

Download Media Creation Tool to create bootable installation media for your computer

Win 10 works extremely good with my UEFI based motherboard. For me win10 seems to work better then win 7 and win10 interface much better than win8 .
