Bombardier Challenger 850
Market interest in the performance characteristics of the 50-passenger CRJ Airliner led to its introduction into business jet environment. In 1995, the Canadair Special Edition and Corporate Jetliner were launched and renamed as the Challenger 850 aircraft in 2005.
The Challenger 850 offers ease of maintenance and low direct operating costs, thanks to its airliner heritage. Powered by the GE CF34-3B1 turbofan engine of 8729 lb thrust, it has a maximum take off weight of 24040 kilograms with a take off distance of 1922miles. It has a range of 3044 nautical miles with five passengers; 2905 nautical miles with eight passengers and 2584 nautical miles with 15 passengers at a typical cruise speed of Mach 0, 77 or 0, 74 for long range cruise.
The auxiliary fuel tanks can accommodate an additional 1814 kilograms of fuel for a maximum fuel weight of 8289 kilograms.
Bombardier Global 5000
With the introduction of the Global 5000, operators flying both the Global Express XRS and the Global 5000 business aircraft are now able to benefit from fleet commonality, particularly with enhanced crew flexibility thanks to a common type rating, pilot and maintenance training and spare parts.
The Global family marks the entrance of the super large to ultra long-range jets. Developed from global Express technologies the Bombardier Global 5000 jet offers more cabin space with faster and more short-field capability than any in its class. It was one of the first business jets to combine a liquid crystal display with a head up guidance system projector.
Bombardier claims that the Global 5000 flies trans-continental passengers faster than any competing super –large business jet, at Mach 0, 89 .Cruising at Mach 0, 85; it can carry eight passengers and three crew non-stop, from continental Europe to Central North America, thanks to its 5200 nautical miles range. Two Rolls-Royce BR710A2-20 turbofans of 14750 lbs thrust propel it to a cruise altitude of 43000 feet in just23 minutes. Maximum ceiling is 51000 feet .Maximum tae off weight is 29780 kilograms with a payload of 508 kilograms with full fuel.
Bombardier Global Express XRS
Also powered by 14750 pound-thrust Rolls-Royce BR710A2-20 turbofans, it has superior short-field performance charactestics, thanks to leading edge slats and Fowler trailing edge flaps.
The Global Express XRS can fly at altitudes of up to 51000 feet carrying eight passengers and a crew of four 5450 nautical miles non-stop at MACH 0, 87; 6150 NAUTICAL MILES NON-STOP AT mach 0, 85 and 6500 nautical miles non-stop at MACH 0,82.
Certificated to stringent regulations by both North American and European airworthiness authorities, the Global Express XRS flies faster, farther, than any other aircraft in its class and accesses the most challenging airfields. Its long-range, high altitude capability, large cabin and design features (wing slats and flaps) also make it ideal for specialized missions.
Global 700 & Global 8000
Bombardier recently announced growth in its flagship Global family with two new new-jets-the Global 7000 and Global 8000.
The Global 7000features a spacious four-zone cabin. This aircraft sets the benchmark for a new category of large business jets. With a volume of 74, 67 cu.m, passengers will enjoy 20% more living space than the cabin of the current industry leader.
The aircraft will have a high-speed cruise of Mach 0,90 and arrange of 7300 nautical miles at Mach 0,85 .It will fly London-Singapore ,New York-Dubai or Beijing-Washington non-stop with 10 passengers. Entry into service is scheduled for 2016.
The Global 8000,which is claimed to be capable of flying further than any other business jet, will feature a superior three-zone 63,32-cum cabin and a range of 7900 nautical miles at Mach 0,85.It will connect Sydney-Los Angeles, Hong Kong-New York and Mumbai-New York non-stop with eight passengers.

Cessna’s Citation Family
The Citation X, first flown in 1993 and certificated in 1996, received an upgrade in 2000 with an increase in weight and thrust. Perhaps it should be noted that the “X” in its name refers to the Roman numeral and not a letter.
The aircraft introduced a number of new design features, including a highly swept wing (37 degrees) and a supercritical airfoil, to give an impressive top speed.
In contrast with earlier Citation aircraft, the wing is mounted below the fuselage, rather than passing through it. This one piece wing offers greater cabin volume and engineering simplicity.
It can carry two crew and up to eight passengers. Powered by two Rolls-Royce AE3007C1 engines, it is said to be the worlds fastest civilian aircraft, with a top cruising speed of 525 knots/Mach 0, 92 .Maximum cruising altitude is 5100 feet, range is more than 3070 nautical miles.
During 2009, the first Citation X to be fitted with Elliptical Winglets was delivered .Cessna and Winglet Technology, LLC, collobarated to develop the latter’s patented Elliptical Winglet for retrofit on the Citation X.
Cessna has announced that it will feature the Honeywell Primus Elite avionics platform as well as an upgraded cabin management system on new Citation X business jets beginning this year. Honeywell’s Primus Elite will also be available as an optional service bulletin upgrade through the Cessna Citation Xs.Based on the Citation Xs current Honeywell Primus 2000 system, the five-panel Elite system features liquid crystal displays offering high-resolution graphics display capability for electronic approach charts with aircraft position worldwide as well as XM satellite weather in the United States and Southern Canada.
In addition, improved moving map capability will depict geographical and political boundaries as well as airspace and airways.
Improvements to the cabin management system also included as a standard feature for 2011 deliveries will be touch-screen control panels, MP3 player inputs, an improved stereo sound system optimized for the Citation X cabin, updated Air show display imagery and dual Blu-ray players with a high-definition display monitor mounted in the forward closet.
Citation Ten
Last October, Cessna announced the launch of the Citation Ten, alarger, and advanced version of the Citation X.It also marked the debut of the Garmin G5000 avionics suite and a Cessna-exclusive advanced management system. It features more powerful and more efficient Rolls-Royce engines .First flight of the new Citation Ten will be in the late 2011, with certification and first delivery in 2013.
The Citation Ten features a 380-mm longer fuselage for more cabin space, winglets for more efficient performance , a new electrical system, dual lithium-ion batteries ,new avionics ,auto throttle, a redesigned cabin with new interior seats and cabin appointments and a proprietary fibre optic-based cabin management system including the latest interface options for greater in-flight productivity and connectivity.
Performance is also enhanced with a 211 nautical mile increase in range at high-speed cruise 97 kilograms increase in maximum payload and a faster rate of climb direct to 45000 feet.
The Citation Ten will use a pair of new Rolls-Royce AE3007C2 high-flow-fan turbines, each rated at 7034 pounds of thrust. This gives a 4% improvement in takeoff thrust, a 9% improvement in climb performance, a 7% improvement in cruise thrust and an additional 1, 4% improvement in specific fuel consumption. The Rolls-Royce AE3007C2 will be certificated in 2013 ahead of aircraft type certification.
Cessna is the first company to announce it will use the integrated Garmin G5000 avionics suite, which will be certificated for FAR Part 25 operations (commercial transport aircraft). The Citation Tens restyled ,clean cockpit design is anchored by the new ,fully integrated Garmin G5000 system that centres on three 14-inch LCD primary and multifunction displays and four touch-screen control panels.
Among the standard features of the new system are a pilot-vehicle touch-screen interface ,TCAS 11 with change 7.1,synthetic vision technology, electronic charts,Garmins Safe Taxi,a dual flight management system with WAAS LPV and RNP 0.3 SAAAR capability ,solid-state weather radar with turbulence detection and vertical scan capability ,integrated terrain awareness and warning system (TAWS),ADS-B Out and Link 2000+data link. Options include satellite weather and an ICAO Type 1A flight data recorder.
The company has teamed with Dallas-based Heads Up Technologies to develop an intelligent cabin electrical system (CMS) that integrates cabin electrical systems, avionics and communications through a fibre optic backbone and an intuitive touch-screen user interface, resulting in “the ultimate connectivity experience”.
Technology is the foundation of the Citation Ten CMS,which features an interactive ,touch-screen system controller at each passenger seat for audio(digital media,MP3/iPhone), video(digital, Blu Ray), interactive moving map, cabin temperature,lights,window shades and even cabin diagnostics.

Starting Your Business With Government Grant Money
Starting Your Business With Government Grant Money
Have you always dreamed of running your own business, being your own boss, setting your own schedule? If so, then perhaps your dreams have been stifled by the lack of funding to get started. If you have a good business idea, then the government is willing to help out with government grants for new businesses.
Free Government Grant Money
For many years, the United States government has set aside money for various grants for individuals who are looking to start their own business. This government grant money is free money that does not have to be repaid to the government. There are different types of government grants for different purposes and business models. There are also specific government grants to help specific demographics of the population realize their dream of business ownership, such as government grants specifically for women, African Americans, disabled individuals, or those of certain ages.
There are government grants that are meant to target economically depressed areas of the country, as well as government grants that focus on starting businesses in areas where there is widespread joblessness. That said, if you have a business idea that the government feels can benefit your local community or add jobs to job force, there is a great chance that there is a government grant waiting out there for you to claim in order to get started.
Applying For Your Government Grant
The most effective government grant applications are carefully planned and are presented alongside a professional business plan. Professionalism is important throughout the entire government grant process, as the government sees the manner that you handle your grant application as indicative of how you will handle your business. Be sure to follow all requirements that are outlined in your government grant package, and do not omit any information that is requested. Proofread and go over your government grant application a couple of times before submission to notice any errors that might deflect from the presentation of your government grant application.
Budgeting For Your Government Grant
You may also be asked to submit a budget with your government grant application, which shows how you plan to use the money if it is granted to you. Be sure to use conservative estimates but to be sure to ask for enough to cover the costs you may have. Factor in such items as renting or leasing the premises that will house your business, purchasing or leasing delivery vans or other vehicles and equipment that will be required by your business, purchasing inventory, hiring staff, and other costs that you will have. It is also good to allow for a certain amount of money to pay utilities and miscellaneous expenses until your business is up and running.
Assistance Finding Your Government Grant
To find out what government grants are available for your specific needs, you can request a copy of the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance from the U.S. government, or you can view the entire catalog in PDF format on the website www.cfda.gov. Additionally, you can browse through the government grants that you might qualify at the government website www.grants.gov.

Marketing Online – Advantages For Small Business – Washington DC
Marketing Online – Advantages For Small Business – Washington DC
There are a lot of ways to advertise your business including radio, television, newspaper, and billboard. However, times have changed and business advertising techniques are constantly evolving. These days, the best way to advertise your business is online. One of the main reasons why it works is because almost everyone spends more time on the internet than they do looking at billboards, searching through the yellow pages, listening to the radio, etc. Another reason to advertise online is that it is much less expensive.
You will have to pay hundreds of dollars over the course of time if you are to ever reap any real results from placing advertisements in newspapers, the yellow pages, over the radio, and on television. Those types of advertisements might have brought you loads of success a decade ago, but they are not as popular now. With online marketing, you are much more up close and personal. You can target your demographic in a way that no other form of marketing can. You can send people personal emails and purchase advertising space. You can also create blogs and hire professionals to create websites for your business.
Perhaps one of the best ways to begin marketing online, particularly if you are a beginner, is to create a blog. Blogs are simple and free to create. All you need is a subject to write about (which in this case would be your business), and a reasonable amount of dedication to advertising your blog. To start, you will need to create an account with one of the popular blogging sites such as Blogger.com or WordPress.com. Next, select a layout. Steer clear of colorful layouts that seem unprofessional and take away from the subject at hand. A simple white layout should do just fine.
Once you have created your user account and selected your layout, it is time to add some fresh new content. To add content, you will simply create small blog posts that discuss what your business is, what it provides, contact information, pricing information, and basically everything else you would expect in a business if you were the customer. You might also want to include customer testimonials. Do not forget to upload a couple of images to spice up the look of your blog.
Before you add your content, come up with a few keyword phrases to include. Make sure that you do not overdo it with the keywords because the search engines will view it as spam and not display your content in the search results. Try to use two different keyword phrases per 100 words. Never use the same phrase more than once per 100 words.
In addition to creating a blog to market your business online, you will also need to market your blog. You can do so by submitting your blog to blog directories. Submit to as many blog directories as you can find. This may take some time, so plan on sitting down for at least two to three hours while submitting. Fortunately, as frustrating and time consuming as it may seem, it will pay off big time in the end.
Another thing to do to market your business online is to create articles that market your business, website, and blog, and then submit them to article directories. Do not forget to properly keyword your articles as well so that people can find them when searching for subjects relative to your business.
Just about anyone can become successful when using the internet to market their small business. It is easy to have confidence that this type of marketing is not going anywhere anytime soon. The internet is of the “New Age” and it is not expected to die out – ever. Internet popularity will only grow over the next couple of years, and with it, so will your business.

Two Way Radios: How to Maintain Business Communication During an Emergency
Two Way Radios: How to Maintain Business Communication During an Emergency
Doesn’t it seem like hurricane season lasts longer and does more damage every year? Summertime heat waves and winter ice storms appear more severe than ever?
Natural and man-made catastrophes, can result in emergencies and power outages that last a few hours, a few days or, in the most severe cases, a week or longer. This can cost your business thousands of dollars.
Emergency and public safety organizations like police and fire departments, medical teams and college campus security depend on commercial two way radios. Your business can also turn to commercial two way radios in natural disasters and other emergencies. Two way radios are an economical resource in emergency situations that can possible save your business money!
Why Two Way Radios Are an Excellent Way to Maintain Communication & Keep Your Business Operating During an Emergency.
1. Two way radios do not rely on cell towers like cell phones do. They operate radio to radio independently from any other system. If the power to a cell tower goes out, or the tower is knocked down, you lose cell phone service. Be prepared and use 2 way radios to avoid overloaded cell phone systems in an emergency.
2. Two way radios do not rely on telephone lines. Phone systems can be knocked out just like cell phone towers. If the power goes out to a phone system, or there is a line in the system that is damaged, you lose phone service. Being prepared with 2 way radios will overcome this potential communications issue.
3. If you apply the tips below and use commercial 2 way radios your team can maintain radio communication around a fixed location or campus of buildings without electricity for hours, even days, in an emergency.
So the question becomes: How can you charge your commercial two-way radio batteries when there’s no power to draw from?
How to Keep Your Two Way Radio Battery Up and Running During a Power Outage, Crises or Emergency:
1. Be Prepared: Even if you do not use two way radios as part of your regular day to day operation you should keep the batteries for your emergency radios charged and conduct a radio check once a week. The weekly radio check will reinforce how to use the radios and instill good radio habits. A weekly radio check will reveal if there are any equipment or personnel issues. During an emergency having to train personnel will consume rather than conserve battery power.
2. Have Spare Two Way Radio Battery Equipment Available & Handy. Many commercial two way radio chargers have a slot for an additional battery. By keeping two batteries charged you effectively double the useful life of radios in an emergency. Additionally some commercial two way radios can be equipped with standard sized alkaline batteries. These alkaline batteries have a long shelf life and can come in handy if the power outage is lengthy.
PLEASE NOTE: Not all commercial two-way radios can take alkaline batteries. In fact, most can’t and only a few have a special “AA” battery holder that fits the radio. Nearly all FRS radios or “Family Radio Service” radios do take alkaline batteries but they do not provide a signal of significant strength and are not recommended for industrial or business users.
3. Charge Your Two Way Radio Battery with Your Computer
If you have an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) battery backup for your computer, it can keep your two way radio working during an emergency crisis or power outage as well. Just plug it in, and you’ll have enough power to re-charge your radio battery to last at least a full day, and maybe even more.
We recently tested this process with a common computer battery back up/surge protector unit with Output Power Capacity of 780 Watts / 1300 VA. We charged three full-powered commercial two way radios with the batteries attached along with three extra batteries in the backup slots of three charger cups.
Tip: Make sure to shut down your computer at the first sign of a power outage. It increases the UPS power that you can draw on to charge your 2 way radio battery.
4. Charge Two Way Radio Batteries with your Car or Truck
If it’s safe to go outside, you can recharge your two way radio battery in your car or truck by using a re-charger that plugs into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter. If the power outage lasts a short while, this can provide enough juice to keep things going during the crisis. But if it looks like the power is going to be out for several days then keep in mind that this is also using your vehicle’s fuel and battery.
Tip: Keep the car re-charger for your 2 way radio battery in your vehicle’s emergency kit, so it’ll be there when you need it!
5. Use the Two Way Radio Solar Rechargeable Battery Option
You can use your two-way radio during a power outage emergency if you have a solar rechargeable battery pack. Solar power is becoming increasingly popular as a source of alternative energy. It doesn’t even have to be a bright and sunny day for it to work effectively. Solar power battery recharging kits can service your two way radio batteries.
Tip: Don’t wait for an emergency to use your solar re-charger. You should conduct a weekly radio and charger check to detect any problems and fix them before they become problems during an emergency.

This film really captures the freedom spirit of the 60′s. Coming to theaters on November 13, 2009. Starring: Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy, Rhys Ifans, Nick Frost, Kenneth Branagh, Tom Sturridge, Talulah Riley Pirate Radio is the newest ensemble comedy from filmmaker Richard Curtis (screenwriter of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill, and writer/director of Love Actually), spinning the irreverent yet fact-based tale of a seafaring band of rogue rock and roll deejays whose pirate radio captivated and inspired 1960s Britain. Playing the music that rocked a nation and a decade, the group boldly and hilariously defies the government that tries to shut them down. Broadcasting live 24/7 from an old tanker anchored in the middle of the North Sea (just beyond British jurisdiction), Radio Rock sends out a vibrant and unifying signal to millions across the nation, ranging in age from wide-eyed pre-teens secretly tuning in long past their bedtimes to everyday people in need of a musical pick-me-up. The Radio Rock roster, overseen by unflappable station owner (and ships captain) Quentin (Bill Nighy), includes a risk-prone American known only as The Count (Philip Seymour Hoffman); mystic deejay royalty Gavin (Rhys Ifans); slyly amorous Dave (Nick Frost); idiosyncratic New Zealander Angus (Rhys Darby); the rarely seen Bob (Ralph Brown); the aptly named Thick Kevin (Tom Brooke); lovelorn Simon (Chris ODowd); ladies magnet Mark (Tom Wisdom); shy Harold (Ike Hamilton …

Best answer:
Answer by TokyoE
Just walk towards the huge Shinjuku Station, then go to the other side of the station. Your hotel is on the West side of the Station, many of the bars and clubs are on the East side.
Shinjuku Station is the busiest train station in the world, and busiest in Japan, you can’t miss it.
Any additional questions, google map of Shinjuku and ask the hotel staff at your hotel. Or just follow the massive crowds walking in that direction, again can’t miss it.
Many foreigners go clubbing and drinking in Roppongi, which is about 10 minutes by train from Shinjuku, if yout ake the TOEI OEDO LINE train.
