Workers Comp rates will soar in 2014... Some companies will experience a +37% premium increase.

Employers with high X-MODs (those above 100%) are charged more for their premiums and less likely to be offered any discounts. If the X-MOD is high enough (indicating a history of large losses), the employer might be on the receiving end of additional charges and the rate hike. The majority of employers will see rate hikes from their insurance carriers next year. Some modestly, but many will be more than 20%. A few employers will be lucky – at least for next year. If you have not looked at the NTMA Insurance program, now might be a good time to explore your options. To find out how the new pure premium rate filings and your X-MOD will affect your work comp premiums, call Glenn Van Noy at 760-419-1393.

Percent Change — Pure Premium Rates January 2013 vs. January 2014

Will your X-MOD offset Your WC Rate increase? It depends... Employers with a low X-MOD (usually below 100%) will have their premiums reduced by that amount. Also, employers with low X-MODs are usually given additional discounts. However, any additional discounts could be wiped out by the proposed Pure Premium Advisory Rate hike that goes into effect January 1, 2014.

First Word PRESIDENT’S LETTER

An Invitation Happy Holidays and Happy New Year. It is a pleasure and an honor to address all of you. Let me begin my first letter as your President Elect by thanking our former President and friend Dante Fierros for his two years of service as your President. Dante worked very hard to bring value to the ATMA family and made incredible contributions toward improving our industry. But his work is far from done and we will continue to work with him, the Board, and you to build on the successes we’ve had over the last two years. And what successes! We have witnessed an increased enthusiasm and optimism within our industry. We have begun important partnerships with our friends at the Arizona Commerce Authority, Cox Communications, and the Edge Factor. We’ve participated in the founding of the Arizona Manufacturing Partnership (AMP) which continues to work on strides toward strengthening our work force. Cox Communications and Edge Factor are preparing terrific programs . to bring the news to . .. ..our young people about the exciting and rewarding career they can have in our manufacturing industry. We’ve participated and hosted the inaugural Southwest Regional Conference this past summer which was a huge success bringing members from the entire southwest together for an information packed agenda of networking and informative roundtable sessions. Do you want to share a part in these and other opportunities within our industry? May I offer you a suggestion? Why not join our association? Or if you are already a part of us – get involved and make a difference. Our association is made up of “volunteer” participants – shop owners and managers. Some of us have been members for decades. The question I ask myself each year at annual renewal time is – Why? Why does my company, year after year, continue to pay the dues to this association? Why do I attend the regular meetings? Why do I travel to attend our national conventions? Why do I serve on our Board of Directors? The answer to these questions is the same – I believe in our industry! What does that mean exactly? To me it means as a manufacturing company we belong to the business sector of our country that is a corner stone of its greatness. It was manufacturing at the center of the industrial revolution. It was manufacturing which catapulted America to the top of the world’s economies. It was manufacturing which supported our military each time the world rose to defeat the evils threatening humankind. It IS manufacturing that IS leading the current economic recovery. The question then becomes – Why wouldn’t we continue to be members? Why wouldn’t we participate in the association? Manufacturing is a collective of a variety of companies provided expertise, creativity, consistency in performance, employment, and stability in our country. We all share in our collective success. None of us does it all. Each of us has our strengths. Each of us can share with others. Collectively we have a huge voice that reaches to the halls of our legislators. Why wouldn’t we want to participate? So, Why Not You? I am extending my personal invitation to each of you to join with me and your fellow manufacturers in our collective efforts to strengthen our industry together. Your volunteer participation is what makes our association the beacon it should be to our communities, our state, and our country. Thank you, I hope to meet you at our next event. Warm Regards, DAVID LAIR Vice President, Dynamic Machine & Fabrication Corp. and President, ATMA

Policy Matters BECOME A VOICE FOR CHANGE

Two-Year Budget

Deal Reached by OMAR S. NASHASHIBI

In December, lawmakers in Washington, D.C. reached a two-year agreement to avoid another government shutdown. The deal, crafted by the two Budget Committee Chairs, Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), sets a $1.012 trillion spending level for fiscal year 2014, which began October 1 and $1.014 in FY2015. This a compromise between the $967 billion advocated by Republicans in the House and the $1.058 trillion sought by Senate Democrats. The agreement results in a net deficit reduction of $22 billion over 10 years by offsetting the $63 billion in new spending with $85 billion in savings. The relief from sequestration is evenly divided between defense spending and non-defense discretionary spending and replaces about half of the sequester cuts in 2014 and about a quarter in 2015.

Republican and Democratic leaders in both the House and the Senate breathed a sigh of relief when the twenty-nine lawmakers on the bipartisan Congressional Budget Conference Committee reached an agreement. Following the 17-day government shutdown, Congress passed a bill temporarily restoring government operations but gave themselves until December 13 to propose a solution. This became one of the only bipartisan actions on Capitol Hill in all of 2013. However, it fell far short of the grand bargain once envisioned possible by President Obama and Speaker Boehner in 2011. Rather, members of both parties focused on addressing sequestration and providing relief for some defense and domestic spending programs. Republicans voiced concerns regarding the additional $21 billion in Pentagon budget cuts coming on

January 15, while Democrats sought to restore funding for some domestic programs. Neither party spent much time discussing the real issues facing the federal government – reforming entitlement programs, defense spending, and the tax code. While falling short of addressing the toughest challenges, the Budget agreement does reduce the deficit. Rather than formally increasing taxes to generate new revenues, the budget agreement institutes new “user fees.” Examples include, charging new airline fees to pay for airport security operations, the extension of customs user fees by the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection and allowing the Natural Resources Conservation Service to charge a fee for assistance in developing conservation plans. continued on page 06

Two-Year Budget Deal Reached continued from page 04

In a key concession for some Democrats, federal workers hired after December 31, 2013 will have to increase their employee contributions to their retirement programs by 1.3 percentage points. The package also trims the cost-of-living adjustments to the pensions of military retirees under the age of 62, another way they achieved spending cuts. Several outside conservative groups opposed the deal before it was even released based on reports they saw. Some progressive Democrats also expressed displeasure because the agreement does not include extending expiring unemployment benefits. However, the desire of most in Congress to avoid another government shutdown prevailed over all other concerns. The question now is; what next? Congress kicked the can down the road again, this time for 21 months. If there is a silver lining, it is that two very different Budget Chairmen

could come together and put their significant differences aside. Senate Budget Chair Murray is considered a fairly liberal Democrat who wanted to close tax loopholes and increase spending on social programs. House Budget Chair Ryan ran as Mitt Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vice President on the 2012 Republican ticket and is a generally regarded as a pro-life conservative who is trying to reform Medicare and other entitlement programs. Insiders still see a difficult pathway to achieving the larger reforms needed; whether those sought by fiscal conservatives or social liberals. Despite progress made inside the Budget Conference Committee, the relationship between Republicans and Democrats is still mired in distrust.

begin voting in the primaries. This places deficit reduction front and center once gain as Congress avoids a government shutdown on October 1, 2015. That is, unless, Washington tries again for a grand bargain agreement; but we all know how that turned out.

MULTI-GENERATIONAL WORKFORCE NEEDS MULTIDIMENSIONAL HR PRACTICES by MARGARET JACOBY, SPHR

You are probably aware that there are at least 4 generations in today’s workforce at any one time: Traditionalists

Baby Boomers

Generation “X”

Generation “Y” (Millennials)

Do employees understand how work is done differently in different generations? Each generation has a different way they accept managing from their supervisors. For example, the Traditionalists like to be addressed in respectful professional tones with good grammar and no slang. While Generation “X” doesn’t want the manager to waste their time – they want an email or voicemail that is direct. These differences make the workplace challenging. If you are striving to recruit the best and brightest, it is important to include mature workers in the mix. It is also critical to examine your human resources practices to see if they support these generational differences. The right mix of policies and practices is key to a productive and engaged workforce. Some “best practices” to consider: • Facilitate regular conversations about generational differences • Create a workplace culture where employee opinions are sought and valued • Reward managers for retaining the people who report to them • Offer opportunities for horizontal movement in the company • Publicize career opportunities internally • Offer mentoring opportunities for seamless knowledge transfer When considering benefits: • Offer flexible work options when possible • Offer benefits suited to an employee’s state of life • Reward performance and productivity • Offer continuous learning and tuition reimbursement • Offer mentoring opportunities One last thought – what will your workforce look like five years from now? Nationally, Gen “X” will probably remain the same; Gen “Y” will increase; some Baby Boomers will have left along with the Traditionalists. What strategic capabilities are needed from your employees? Are there generational gaps that could be addressed by training, recruiting or retention? How are your preparing for this change?

Becoming a MultiDimensional Leader for Increased Leadership Effectiveness Significant research indicates that the most effective leaders use a collection of distinct leadership styles, each in the right measure. In the classic book Good to Great, Jim Collins devotes a chapter to what he calls Level 5 Leadership. He states, in part, that the need for diversity of leadership behaviors is simply too often overlooked and that their research clearly showed Level 5 Leadership was a consistent differentiator of “great” companies. Also, several books have been written in the last three years with a common thread of “quiet leadership” which challenges the outdated maxim that in order to be effective leaders must be dynamic, commanding, and hard charging. Several reasons point to why this research, which focuses on multi-dimensional leadership, needs to be considered in today’s organizations. Chief among these has to do with the make-up of today’s workforce. For the first time in history there are four distinct generations of workers: traditionalists, baby boomers, Gen X and Gen Y, often referred to as millennials. The hard charging leadership style that worked to lead tradionalists and baby boomers may prove to be not as effective with Gen X and Gen Y, and these two groups are, and will, become a much bigger slice of the workforce in the years to come. So what different leadership styles are there? In the book The 8 Dimensions of Leadership the authors describe eight distinct styles. Visualize a wheel, start at the top and going around the wheel the leadership styles are: Commanding, Pioneering, Energizing, Affirming, Inclusive, Humble, Deliberate and Resolute. Each of these styles is described in detail as to their characteristics, qualities, strengths, and potential weaknesses. Each of us has a core leadership style but we should also be aware of the other styles and put them into action when the situation or audience dictates. Granted, such flexibility is tough to put into action, but it can pay off in terms of better performance and improved results. Better yet, this is something that can be learned. Should you become a multi-dimensional leader? Or perhaps the better question to ask is do you want to be a good leader or a great leader?

Precision Manufacturing Apprenticeship Program

ARIZONAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S PRECISION MANUFACTURING APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM (AzPMAP)

Manufacture Your Future

A Model for Competing withTalent Few would argue with the notation that companies, regions, and even countries should compete on their ability to innovate and create new products and services that meet the needs the customers effectively and efficiently. To have to compete for the intellectual talent as a primary determinant of success or failure is a lose lose situation for everyone. Recognizing the critical importance of ensuring a more sustainable and predictable supply of skilled and competent employees, the Arizona Tooling and Machining Association (ATMA) has partnered with the Arizona Commerce Authority, the City of Phoenix, Maricopa County, The Maricopa Community Colleges, and the National Tooling and Machining Association in the development of the Arizona Precision Manufacturing Apprenticeship Program (AzPMAP). AzPMAP is a comprehensive workforce development support program, designed and implemented to fill and retain the metalworking and manufacturing skilled workforce pipeline, by upgrading and standardizing regional training sites into world class centers of excellence. The Apprenticeship Programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals is to ensure a continual additional supply of very qualified Certified Machinists

and CNC Programmer and Setup Milling and Turning workers. Although the program requires significant commitment on the part of both the apprentice and the sponsoring employers the benefits derived are well documented. There are 20 apprentices in the program working in companies throughout the Greater Phoenix area and attending classes that will lead to certification. The program continues to accept applications from job seeks interested in the aerospace manufacturing industry. For more information, please contact:

THE FUTURE OF MANUFACTURING Economic uncertainty is now an accepted reality, but industry leaders are not letting it hinder growth, according to CliftonLarsonAllenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third annual survey of U.S. manufacturers and distributors.

BY ERIK SKIE

january/february 2014

“The attitude and mindset of the leaders we surveyed focuses on capturing opportunities instead of dwelling on things that can not be controlled,” says Erik Skie, manufacturing and distribution managing principal with CliftonLarsonAllen. “The industry has moved beyond the Great Recession and is now shaping its own future.” Manufacturing and Distribution Outlook 2013 is a composite of opinions from hundreds of CLA clients and nonclients across the country. Seventy-five percent of respondents were privately held and family ownership businesses, 27 percent were one owner organizations, and 54 percent had two to five owners. Focusing on The Value Triangle This year’s survey centers on key areas that are essential for healthy and sustainable manufacturing and distribution organizations. We call it The Value Triangle, and it includes four dimensions: financial, growth, execution, and leadership. Excellence in any of these areas can create bursts of short-term success. However, consistent attention to all four creates high performance organizations that can compete in the global marketplace. The observations received from industry leaders related to these four areas. While many parts of our economy are nowhere near pre-recession levels of performance, approximately 70 percent of respondents say they are at or above pre-recession levels of profitability. The fact that U.S. manufacturers and distributors have navigated the turbulence of the past four years and returned to 2007 profitability levels is both significant and encouraging. • Overall, respondents indicate that working capital requirements (including inventory) and availability of credit have not been deterrents to growth over the past two years. • Cash flow challenges at the largest original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have translated into extended payment terms for some suppliers. About 40 percent of respondents said the average age of accounts receivable has increased, while an almost equal number said account aging had stayed the same. Exports account for half of overall U.S. economic growth since the end of the Great Recession, so we asked about export strategies. • More than 63 percent of respondents said they are currently exporting, while approximately 27 percent said they have not exported and do not plan to start in the next two years. Three percent said they plan to begin export activities in the next two years. • While much is made of the challenges of global competition, respondents do not see a meaningful difference between what it takes to compete domestically and abroad. High quality products, flexibility to meet customer needs, and customer service continue to be the attributes most mentioned by respondents as their keys to success. continued on page 14

continued from page 13

Another issue that impacts long-term growth and sustainability is the management of revenue concentrations. • The majority of respondents said they have an industry concentration that accounts for more than 50 percent of their revenue base. They clearly indicated that revenue concentrations are a risk that must be mitigated, but they also said concentrations often continue even as the geographic reach of a company becomes global. The survey showed that continuous improvement is alive and well in manufacturing. For most companies, it has become a way of life. • Sixty percent of respondents indicated that their continuous improvement efforts target market pressures like costs, quality, and ontime delivery; 19 percent aim to increase capacity; and just 7 percent said they are targeting inventory reduction. • Roughly 70 percent said they are at or above pre-recession profit levels, but almost as many respondents (67 percent) feel they still have excess capacity. • A shortage of skilled workers is an issue for more than half of survey respondents. Most say they are implementing workforce training, lean manufacturing, and automation to counter this trend. Many in the Baby Boom generation are reaching an age where they are planning for the next phase of their lives. Since small to mid-sized manufacturing ownership is dominated by Baby Boomers, it would be safe to assume that many leadership changes are on the horizon. • Thirty-five percent said they are expecting an ownership transition in the next five years. • When asked about the importance of this transition, 70 percent said that it is “somewhat important” or “very important.” • There appears to be a correlation between the timing of future leadership transitions and the timing of expected ownership transitions.

Looking ahead A year ago, manufacturing and distribution leaders were reporting that economic uncertainty, rising health care costs, and rising production costs were foremost on their minds. Though not as strong as last year, uncertainty remains a top concern in 2013, and will likely become an accepted reality as global economies and governments continue to resolve longer-term structural issues. “The rising concern with finding and retaining skilled workers can be seen as both a positive and a negative,” says Skie. “The need for skilled workers coincides with an expansion in manufacturing, but the inability to fill skilled positions could ultimately hold manufacturers back from their full growth potential.” “An unaddressed leadership void could also become a crisis,” Skie says. “Smaller companies often have questions about succession. Larger companies are worried about the sustainability of their smaller supply chain partners. Many survey respondents see the leadership void coinciding with a potential ownership transition.” The innovation and resiliency that has been demonstrated by the owners and leaders of manufacturing and distribution companies is truly inspiring. While the most recent recession recast the competitive landscape for many industries, manufacturing and distribution have been meeting the challenge for well over a decade and continue to move forward. As we put the Great Recession behind us, the resiliency of American manufacturing continues to show itself as the strongest characteristics of all.

MILITARY FIXED WING AVIATION OUTLOOK FOR 2014 In the last issue we looked at the 2014 forecast for commercial aviation. In this issue we will focus on military fixed wing aviation, touching all the major programs that are in production. In military aviation the US plays the main role. With a defense budget that amounts to roughly 50% of the world defense budget, the US has several programs in production and new ones ramping up. Another interesting manufacturing center of excellence for military aviation is Europe, albeit with smaller number of airframes and programs. We will break this forecast into two parts: fighter jets and multi-role platforms. continued on page 18

MILITARY FIXED WING AVIATION OUTLOOK FOR 2014

continued from page 17

Fighter Jets

Multi-role Platforms

The world has several fourth and fifth generation fighters in production. Europe produces two advanced fourth generation platforms, the Eurofighter, produced by UK, Germany, Italy and Spain and the Rafale, produced by France. The US produces three fourth generation fighters, the F-15, F-16 and F-18 and one fifth generation fighter, the F-35. The first fifth generation fighter, the F-22, ended production on March 14th 2012. A grand total of 178 aircrafts were produced: a strict export restriction and a hefty price tag have always limited the appeal of this extremely capable fifth generation fighter.

There is a limited amount of multi-role platforms being produced in the world, with an overwhelming majority rolling out of assembly lines in the US. The four major platforms in production in the US are the C-17A, the C-130J, the P-8A and the upcoming KC-46A. The European industry will have their hands full with the ramp up of the new airlifter, the A400M. Boeing has delivered 256 C-17A to air forces around the world, with the US Air Force operating the lion share at 222 aircrafts. However the end of production for this platform is approaching, with a forecast line shut down in 2015. Boeing has 22 aircrafts left to produced and 2014 will see a reduction of the workforce assigned to the production line.

The Boeing F-15 is being produced in small numbers at the St. Louis facilities. Currently the company is working on an order for 84 jets from Saudi Arabia and it is confident it can keep the production lines going through the next years with additional foreign orders and upgrades to the US fighters. The Lockheed Martin F-16 is the workhorse of many air forces worldwide. The 2014 production is going to maintain the 2013 levels with one aircraft assembled each month. Currently the company is working on an order from Egypt for 20 platforms. While the current order book will run out in the third quarter of 2017, Lockheed Martin is confident that additional orders and upgrades from the Middle East and South America will keep the line humming till 2020. The Boeing F-18 is reaching the end of its production run as well. The last purchased EA-18 Growlers are expected to be produced by the end of 2014 with the final deliveries of the combined F-18 and EA-18 to be completed by 2016. The forecasted 2014 production rate will be of 24 airframes. Boeing expects additional US Navy and foreign air force orders to add another 250 to 400 aircrafts in the coming years. The bright spot in the fighter arena for 2014 is going to be the F-35. The ramp up in production will see the number of platforms produced increase year after year, barring any cost overruns punished by Congress. The forecasted production rate for the next several years will be 29 aircrafts produced by October 2014, 42 aircrafts produced by October 2015, 62 aircrafts produced by October 2016, 76 aircrafts produced by October 2017 and 100 aircrafts produced by October 2018. The production rate could increase in the coming years because of additional foreign orders. The F-35 is bound to repeat the success of the F-16, albeit on a slightly smaller scale due to its higher price. On the European front, the Eurofighter production is down to less than 40 platforms per year from 50. The export units to Oman and Saudi Arabia are currently being produced. The French Rafale production is currently at 11 platforms per year but the French government is planning to order just 26 aircrafts in the 2014 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2019 timeframe. The upcoming order for 126 aircrafts from India, to be signed by March 2014, could see the current production rate remain constant in the next years. The manufacturers of both platforms will be pressured in 2014 to find new export customers to keep their lines open.

While one program ends, another one ramps up at Boeing. The maritime patroller P-8A Poseidon has reached in 2013 the 13th delivery, on its way to the Initial Operating Capability (IOC) in 2016. It is the first new maritime patroller in 50 years, replacing with aging P-3 Orions, and it is built on the base of the commercial Boeing 737NG platform with the stronger wing of the 737-900. With a stated need for 117 platforms, the US Navy has an outstanding order for 68 aircrafts. The platform, in its P-8I export version, has also seen Australia and India sign up as foreign customers. Boeing predicts that the 2014 production will be around one P-8A and one P-8I per month. Boeing has one more platform in its stable that is coming into production, the tanker KC-46A. After several false starts, Boeing is working on a Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) contract for the US Air Force with a start in 2015. The Boeing 767 derivative is being prepared for a first flight in 2014, with two airframes supporting testing. While 2014 production will be very low, Boeing plans to produce 15 platforms a year by 2017. By 2017 there will be 18 aircrafts in service out of a contracted number of 179. At Lockheed Martin, the C-130 continues to be produced in its latest J version. With 430 active aircrafts in the US inventory, Lockheed Martin plan to produce a new batch of 79 airframes in the 2014 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2018 timeframe. The line is forecasted to operate at 24 aircrafts per year, including export customers, down from a peak of 36 per year in 2011. Finally, we are going to close by taking a look at the Airbus A400M. With 174 outstanding orders and only two aircrafts delivered as of October 2013, Airbus forecasts a peak production rate of 2.5 airframes per month starting in 2015. 2014 will be a transition year for the A400M production line, with 10 expected deliveries, ramping up for the full production schedule the following year.

Getting to Know

OSHA 1910.1200 by JAMIE BEAUVAIS, Arizona Safety & Emergency Consultants LLC

Are you using cleaner at your Machine shop? Do your employees ever handle Isopropyl alcohol? "Well of course!" you say. In that case, have your employees been educated on the health hazards associated with these chemicals? If your answer is no, then you do not comply with the Federal Hazard Communication Standard (OSHA 1910.1200). Arizona has received federal approval for its occupational safety and health regulatory program and has adopted the federal OSHA Act standards, including the federal Hazard Communication Standard (AZ Rev. Stat. Sec. 23-401et seq.; AZ Admin. Code Rules R20-5-601et seq.). The state law covers all private businesses and public sector (government offices and operations) workplaces and is administered and enforced by the Arizona Industrial Commission. The state's worker right-to-know law is identical to the federal standard. Hazard communication standards, or worker â&#x20AC;&#x153;right-to-knowâ&#x20AC;? laws, regulate how information about workplace chemical hazards is communicated to employees. As with most workplace health and safety standards, state worker right-to-know laws have developed in large part according to standards adopted under the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act). There is additional information and a detailed discussion of the federal regulations.

store, and use hazardous chemicals, while providing cost savings for American businesses that periodically update safety data sheets and labels for chemicals covered under the hazard communication standard. The new hazard communication standard still requires chemical manufacturers and importers to evaluate the chemicals they produce or import and provide hazard information to employers and workers by putting labels on containers and preparing safety data sheets. However, the old standard allowed chemical manufacturers and importers to convey hazard information on labels and material safety data sheets in whatever format they chose. The modified standard provides a single set of harmonized criteria for classifying chemicals according to their health and physical hazards and specifies hazard communication elements for labeling and safety data sheets. What are the major changes to the Hazard Communication Standard? The three major areas of change are in hazard classification, labels, and safety data sheets. Hazard classification: The definitions of hazard have been changed to provide specific criteria for classification of health and physical hazards, as well as classification of mixtures. These specific criteria will help to ensure that evaluations of hazardous effects are consistent across manufacturers, and that labels and safety data sheets are more accurate as a result. Labels: Chemical manufacturers and importers will be required to provide a label that includes a harmonized signal word, pictogram, and hazard statement for each hazard class and category. Precautionary statements must also be provided. Safety Data Sheets: Will now have a specified 16-section format.

The Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) is now aligned with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). This update to the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) will provide a common and coherent approach to classifying chemicals and communicating hazard information on labels and safety data sheets. Once implemented, the revised standard will improve the quality and consistency of hazard information in the workplace, making it safer for workers by providing easily understandable information on appropriate handling and safe use of hazardous chemicals. This update will also help reduce trade barriers and result in productivity improvements for American businesses that regularly handle,

january/february 2014

The GHS does not include harmonized training provisions, but recognizes that training is essential to an effective hazard communication approach. The revised Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) requires that workers be re- trained within two years of the publication of the final rule to facilitate recognition and understanding of the new labels and safety data sheets.
