LE BOURGET, France (AP) — Airbus glided past U.S. rival Boeing to take top honors in their annual competition to sell commercial jets at the Paris Air Show, according to final tallies that together amounted to over $107 billion in business. The announcements Thursday capped four days of deal-making at the biennial air show, when top executives from the world's largest airlines clink champagne glasses and write whopping checks as test pilots fly demonstrations of high-tech aircraft at Paris' normally sleepy Le Bourget airfield. Industry watchers had been expecting a modest haul of orders as airlines pull back from a record-breaking spate of plane buying in recent years. High fuel prices up until a year ago had prompted airlines to invest massively in a new generation of more fuel-economical aircraft like the Airbus A320neo and the Boeing 737MAX.

Asking Eric: Everything works for new couple except the sex
Denver Post, Sunday - 09/22/2024 - 06:30 AM
Dear Eric: I met this wonderful lady a year ago on a dating site. We hit it off and have been together ever since. We enjoy the same things. We spend the weekends at each other’s houses. I love her, and she loves me. The issue is intimacy. While I enjoy the closeness, holding hands, hugging, cuddling on the couch, I just don’t enjoy sex with her. I find it difficult to perform, and even when I can it’s not satisfying.
