Two Treasure Coast beaches make USA Today list of least-known in Florida

Posted on by

A new list of "10 least-known Florida beaches" was released by USA Today on Sunday, and two Treasure Coast beaches made the cut -- and received great reviews.

Second on the list is Blowing Rocks Preserve in Hobe Sound, which the article notes is "a lovely place for nature lovers to explore the nooks of its dramatic limestone shelf." Click here to visit the Blowing Rocks Preserve website.

Third is Vero Beach, which USA Today calls "the most formidable gem on Atlantic Florida's Treasure Coast." The article also mentions the Indian River Lagoon, saying Vero's position along it makes the city home to "some phenomenal flat-water kayaking." Click here to visit the Vero Beach website.

Also included on the list is Jupiter beach. USA Today mentions that 1 mile of the city's coast is dog-friendly, while the rest of the "sugary sand" is for "two-legged sunbathers."

Regent Aerospace Corp. invests in Jacksonville property

by Karen Brune Mathis, Managing Editor

The company has not responded to questions about its plans for the property, including whether it will rehabilitate the aged, vacant property at 1507 Industrial Blvd. for a maintenance, repair and overhaul facility.

That possibility is a question because the city confirmed it has been contacted about the site.

Monica Landeros, public communications officer for Mayor Alvin Brown, said Thursday a consultant inquired about the property with the city Office of Economic Development.

Landeros said the consultant made the inquiry Aug. 20, but said the city could not comment further because of a confidentiality agreement. A city website indicates the property is within an Enterprise Zone, which means it qualifies for state tax credits for creating jobs and capital investment.

Jax Industrial Developments LLC, headed by Regent Aerospace President Reza Soltanianzadeh, paid $1.27 million for the property, which is zoned for light industrial use.

The sale was recorded Thursday with the Duval County Clerk of Court.

Regent Aerospace provided a $1.25 million mortgage and security agreement to Jax Industrial Developments LLC.

Soltanianzadeh did not return a call or two emails for information about the plans.

Trans-Pacific Aerospace Company Receives Additional NAVAIR Approvals; Adds New Board Members to Godfrey China Subsidiary

Posted on by

SAN MARINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Trans-Pacific Aerospace Company, Inc. ("TPAC" or "Company") (TPAC) , which is in the business of designing, engineering and manufacturing self-lubricating spherical bearings for commercial aircraft, is pleased to announce today that its Chinese subsidiary, Godfrey Guangzhou Aerospace Bearings (Godfrey), has received additional SAE-AS81820 bearing and SAE-AS81935 bushing approvals from NAVAIR. This achievement is a milestone event for the Company and will allow it to offer a larger catalog of qualified products to an industry forecasted to triple in size over the next 20 years. Godfrey is the only manufacturer in China qualified to make bearings under SAE-AS81820 and SAE-AS81934 standards. This achievement allows TPAC to compete in a sector that yields revenues of US$200 million per annum, thus widening the Companys growth potential and competitive landscape.

"We are now in a position to offer potential customers a wide range of products with a complete catalog of parts," said Bill McKay, Trans-Pacific Aerospace CEO. "We have initiated new customer contact in the United States and China and we are seeing positive feedback."

The Company also announced today that it has appointed new members to the board of directors of Godfrey China, its Hong Kong subsidiary. New members to the Godfrey China board are Greg Archer, Jason Arnold, Kevin Gould, Clairmont Griffith and Ray Kwong, who are also board members of TPAC.

"The addition of these members to the board of Godfrey China assures that the interests of Trans-Pacific Aerospace will be reflected in the decision-making process at Godfrey Guangzhou," noted McKay. China is the world's fastest growing aviation market, with most recent Boeing forecasts noting it will need 5,980 new planes over the next 20 years. Every commercial aircraft made by manufacturers such as Airbus and Boeing uses over 3,000 SAE-AS81820 and SAE-AS81934 parts.

Applied physiology lab makes use of new tablet technology

Three hours is a long time. Spend them looking at different pictures in a textbook of the human body and you might stop paying attention. When the textbook picture looks nothing like the specimen you have to work with, youre likely to lose interest.

How do you enhance a three-hour applied physiology laboratory experience? SMU has turned to technology to answer that question.

Applied Physiology and Wellness Professor Scott L. Davis applied for a technology grant last spring. He worked with Info Commons Tech Coordinator and Touch Learning Center Manager Tyeson V. Seale to discover the 3D4Medical.com applications for iPads.

Now the applied physiology department has four applications for their 25 iPads: Brain & Nervous Pro, Heart Pro, Muscle System Pro and Skeletal System Pro all designed by 3D4Medical.com in conjunction with Stanford University School of Medicine. These applications show the different parts of the human anatomy and how they work and move from different angles.

You see a lot of the students spend more time with the iPad animation than they would with a static model or the book, which translates to increased knowledge. said Kelyn Rola, applied physiology laboratory instructor.

Technology is not new to the applied physiology department. Before purchasing these applications, students used a computer-based cadaver software that let them see specific cuts of the human body. However, it was not interactive and only showed a 2D view.

The ultimate goal for Davis and Rola would be to have human cadaver access for students to see and touch. However, because typically only medical schools can have human cadavers, the new applications serve as an alternate.

Even though these applications cannot substitute for the official classroom textbook, they serve as an interactive tool to help students better understand the different human systems.

One of the big advantages of the applications is the animation. With Muscle System Pro III, students can actually see real time movements of a selected muscle from two different angles. With Heart Pro, students can see the heart, its different chambers, how the blood flows and the heart beating in real time.

Seale explained that it is also a good investment for students on their own iPads. Most of these applications cost $19.99, which is cheaper than most textbooks and they will update themselves as needed. Also, by having these apps on their personal iPads, they can get familiar with the systems at home, do exercises and even quiz themselves on their knowledge, Davis said.
