ETAP 32i. The ETAP 32i is a Belgian sailboat that was designed by French designers Philippe Harlé and Alain Mortain (Harlé-Mortain), as a cruiser and first built in 1992.

Production
The design was built by ETAP Yachting in Belgium from 1992 to 2000 with about 150 boats completed, but it is now out of production.

Design
The ETAP 32i is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of polyester glassfibre-foam cored sandwich, with wood trim. It has a 7/8 fractional sloop rig with aluminum spars, a deck-stepped mast, wire standing rigging and a single set of swept spreaders. The hull has a raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces  and carries  of ballast.

The foam-cored construction renders the boat unsinkable.

The boat has a draft of  with the standard keel.

The boat is fitted with a diesel engine of  for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds  and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settee quarter berths in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner stove, a  ice box and a double sink. The head is located opposite the galley, on the starboard side and includes a shower. The main cabin has  of headroom.

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of . The boat has a hull speed of .

Operational history
The boat was at one time supported by a class club, the ETAP Owners Association.

In a 2009 Yachting Monthly review stated, "from her short coachroof and acres of flush, TBS-covered decks and her custom deck gear, to her stainless steel and white oak-veneered interior, this Harlé Mortain model from 1993 was strikingly different from her contemporaries. Sales probably suffered as a result, though she was, and is, a very good boat in many ways. Under sail she is responsive and well mannered and capable of maintaining good average speeds. The galley is excellent but the chart table is too small. Headroom in the forward part of the saloon is too low for optimum comfort, but the all-round windows of the doghouse provide wonderful light and panoramic views. She has a large aft cabin and six berths."

AirBoss of America. AirBoss of America is a chemical and manufacturing company based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange as . It was founded by Alan R. Burns in 1989, focusing on airless rubber treads for skid-steer loaders in the mining industry, first marketed in 1995.

The company was founded as IATCO Industries in 1989, and changed its name to AirBoss in 1994.

The company and its subsidiaries have facilities in Kitchener, Ontario (purchased from ITRM in 1995), Scotland Neck, North Carolina (purchased in 2005), Auburn Hills, Michigan (through the purchase of Flexible Products, an automotive parts producer in 2013), and Acton Vale, Quebec (a winter boot factory, purchased from Acton Vale Co in 1999). By 1997 the company was producing 100 million pounds of rubber for industrial sales, and only using 10% of that to produce tires. The company sold the tire business, and also sold off the consumer footwear division of Acton Vale, keeping the military footwear and industrial supply divisions. The footwear expanded into gloves, gas masks, and firefighter boots.

Bob Hagerman became CEO when the company was founded. Cofounder Gren Schoch became CEO in 2013.
In 2017, Chris Bitsakakis joined Schoch as President & Co-CEO. In April 2020, the company received a US$96 million contract from US FEMA for 100,000 powered air respirators as part of the COVID-19 pandemic response. The no-bid sole-source contract was pushed by Peter Navarro, working for the Trump presidency, and facilitated by retired general Jack Keane.

Southern Economic Corridor. The Southern Economic Corridor (Abrv: SEC; ) is a special economic zone on the upper south of Thailand. It consists of four provinces, including Chumphon, Ranong, Surat Thani and Nakhon Si Thammarat. The SEC is part of a larger plan to link up the Andaman Sea with the Gulf of Thailand by land, air, and water, connecting the SEC with the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC). The project aims to promote sustainable development, increase competitiveness, and connectivity with neighboring countries, including members of BIMSTEC.

History
The Southern Economic Corridor (SEC) was approved by the Thai cabinet in August 2018 as a project that aims to connect transportation between the Gulf of Thailand and Andaman, resulting in a complete transport and communication linkage. It enables increased potential to support transport volume from the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) area to directly export/import to BIMSTEC countries, as well as Middle East and European countries.

Infrastructure
The SEC project, including the Land Bridge Project, aims to improve transportation infrastructure between the Gulf of Thailand and Andaman, while also promoting green, culture, smart, and livable cities. In addition to developing and expanding airports such as Nakhon Si Thammarat, Ranong, and Surat Thani, plans are also underway to develop Ranong Port and Ao Ang Port to accommodate up to 40 million TEUs per side, improve coastal roads linking the Andaman Coast with the inner area of the South, expand the Ranong-Phang Nga highway to four lanes, and implement the double-track railway Chumphon-Ranong route, which has been designed to support Double Deck to transport containers on both sides of the port. The Land Bridge Project aims to link the Gulf of Thailand with the Andaman Sea, resulting in a more efficient transportation network for the region. The project is expected to be approved by the cabinet in June 2023, and construction is planned to begin in 2025 with an estimated completion date of 2030.

Energiesprong. Energiesprong (English: Energy leap) is a program that originated in the Netherlands that introduced and retrofitted houses that satisfy energy efficient standards. It has since been implemented in the United Kingdom, the United States, France, and Canada. The program typically consists of snapping a shell of panels to the outside of a building to increase its thermal efficiency.

Background 
Energiesprong was created by the government of the Netherlands in 2010 to retrofit existing buildings for higher energy efficiency standards, becoming zero-energy buildings. When the program was launched by the Dutch government, it initiated agreements with social housing companies and contractors to convert 111,000 houses in the Netherlands into near zero energy buildings. Once a house is retrofitted, it would have net zero energy, which means it is capable of generating the total amount of its own energy requirements.

Principles
The Energiesprong model increases the energy efficiency of new and existing buildings through the application of five criteria:
 Performance guarantees for thirty years
 Implementation possible in less than one week
 Affordability created through energy savings and reduced maintenance costs
 Attractive design with upgraded features
 Procuring is based on purchasing housing concepts instead of detailed specifications and drawings

Energiesprong retrifitting typically involves snapping a pre-fabricated shell of panels to the exterior of a building to improve its thermal efficiency. The panels are created by taking a laser scan of the building's exterior to create a building information model, which can then be used for computer-aided manufacturing. The work can therefore be mostly completed at the factory, with installation taking less than one week. In contrast to shallow retrofits such as the installation of heat pumps or basic insulation, energiesprong is considered a "deep" retrofit. The renovations should pay for themselves in thirty years.

Application
More than 5,000 homes in the Netherlands have been retrofitted with Energiesprong. In 2018, the first ten homes were retrofitted in the UK as part of its Energiesprong pilot program. Energiesprong has also been applied to buildings in France and Canada, as well as the US states of California and New York.

In the United Kingdom, the home owner - after the refurbishment - pays a monthly fee, which is significantly less than the utility bills before the conversion - and a guaranteed free electricity and hot water.
