A CONSPIRACY OF KINGS
From the Queen's Thief series
by Megan Whalen Turner ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 1, 2010
With each volume of this stellar series, the question arises anew: How will the text deceive its readers now that we're able to recognize Eugenides's lies? This time, it's through the first-person narration of Sophos, the excruciatingly honest (but underinformed) heir to the kingdom of Sounis. As civil war brews, the young man is plucked from his bookish rustication by kidnappers desiring a puppet king. Sophos escapes only by finagling himself into slavery. It's an oddly pleasant interlude for him; after a lifetime of training for an unwanted royalty, Sophos treasures the choicelessness of his relatively benevolent servitude. Alas, he knows his responsibilities. When the opportunity comes, Sophos escapes and turns to his old friend Eugenides for help. Sophos, with aid from Eugenides and the queens of Attolia and Eddis, plots the recovery of Sounis. In a heartbreaking chain of machinations, they negotiate the responsibilities of kingship when they'd rather be operating as friends. Sophos's straightforward stubbornness is a refreshing antidote to his world's lies and a fascinating lens on Eugenides. For series fans, unmissable. (Fiction. 12-15)

THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PAJAMAS
by John Boyne ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 12, 2006
After Hitler appoints Bruno's father commandant of Auschwitz, Bruno (nine) is unhappy with his new surroundings compared to the luxury of his home in Berlin.
The literal-minded Bruno, with amazingly little political and social awareness, never gains comprehension of the prisoners (all in "striped pajamas") or the malignant nature of the death camp. He overcomes loneliness and isolation only when he discovers another boy, Shmuel, on the other side of the camp's fence. For months, the two meet, becoming secret best friends even though they can never play together. Although Bruno's family corrects him, he childishly calls the camp "Out-With" and the Fuhrer "Fury." As a literary device, it could be said to be credibly rooted in Bruno's consistent, guileless characterization, though it's difficult to believe in reality. The tragic story's point of view is unique: the corrosive effect of brutality on Nazi family life as seen through the eyes of a naïf. Some will believe that the fable form, in which the illogical may serve the objective of moral instruction, succeeds in Boyne's narrative; others will believe it was the wrong choice.
Certain to provoke controversy and difficult to see as a book for children, who could easily miss the painful point. (Fiction. 12-14)

by Jenny Han ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 5, 2009
Han's leisurely paced, somewhat somber narrative revisits several beach-house summers in flashback through the eyes of now 15-year-old Isabel, known to all as Belly.
Belly measures her growing self by these summers and by her lifelong relationship with the older boys, her brother and her mother's best friend's two sons. Belly's dawning awareness of her sexuality and that of the boys is a strong theme, as is the sense of summer as a separate and reflective time and place: Readers get glimpses of kisses on the beach, her best friend's flirtations during one summer's visit, a first date. In the background the two mothers renew their friendship each year, and Lauren, Belly's mother, provides support for her friend—if not, unfortunately, for the children—in Susannah's losing battle with breast cancer. Besides the mostly off-stage issue of a parent's severe illness there's not much here to challenge most readers—driving, beer-drinking, divorce, a moment of surprise at the mothers smoking medicinal pot together.
The wish-fulfilling title and sun-washed, catalog-beautiful teens on the cover will be enticing for girls looking for a diversion. (Fiction. 12-14)

Who was Napoleon Hill? Full biography and controversies
Napoleon Hill (born October 26, 1883 – died November 8, 1970) was an American self-help and finance author. He became world-famous for his bestseller Think and Grow Rich (1937), which is among the top 10 best-selling self-help books of all time. Hill's papers insisted that high expectations and positive thinking are essential to improving people's quality of life and financial situation. Most of his books were marketed as simple but effective explanatory principles for achieving "success."
Hill is, in modern times, a controversial figure. He was charged with fraud and kidnapping. Modern historians also doubt many of his claims, such as that he knew billionaire Andrew Carnegie and that he was a lawyer. Renowned tech website Gizmodo has called him "the most notorious scammer you've probably never heard of".

Napoleon Hill was born in a cabin room near the Appalachian town of Pound, in southwestern Virginia. His parents were James Monroe Hill and Sarah Sylvania (née Blair) and he was the grandson of James Madison Hill and Elizabeth (Jones). His grandfather was an English immigrant who came to the United States in 1847 and settled in southwestern Virginia.
Hill's mother died when he was nine years old, and his father remarried two years later to a woman named Martha. His stepmother Martha was a good influence on him: "Hill's stepmother, the widow of a school principal, civilized the wild infant Napoleon, forcing him to go to school and attend church." At age 13, Hill began writing as a junior reporter, initially for his father's newspaper. At age 15, he married (out of obligation) a local girl who had accused him of fathering her child; the girl retracted the claim and the marriage was annulled.
At the age of 17, Hill graduated from high school and went to Tazewell, Virginia to attend business school. In 1901, Hill accepted a job for attorney Rufus A. Ayers, a coal magnate and former Virginia attorney general. Author Richard Lingeman said that Hill was given this job after arranging to keep confidential the death of a black hotel attendant, who had been accidentally shot while drunk by the previous mine manager.
Hill left his coal mine management job soon after and began law school before withdrawing due to financial problems. Later in his life, Hill would use the title "Lawyer at Law," although Hill's official biography notes that "There is no record of him rendering legal services to anyone."
Hill moved to Mobile, Alabama in 1907 and co-founded the Acree-Hill Lumber Company. In October 1908, The Pensacola Journal newspaper reported that the company was subject to bankruptcy proceedings and charges of mail fraud. The Pensacola Journal reported that Hill's lumber company had purchased lumber from outside of Mobile, including other counties in Alabama and even Florida, before selling the lumber "at a much lower price and so far no returns have been made." .
In May 1909, Hill moved to Washington, DC, and started The Automobile College of Washington, where he instructed students to build, drive, and sell automobiles. The university assembled cars for the Carter Motor Corporation, which declared bankruptcy in early 1912. In April 1912, the motoring magazine Motor World accused Hill's university of being a scam, using misleading marketing materials that would be "a joke for anyone of average intelligence. Hill's automotive college closed its doors at the end of that year.
In June 1910, while administering his automotive college, Hill married his first wife, Florence Elizabeth Horner. The couple had their first child together, James, in 1911, a second son named Napoleon Blair in 1912, and a third son, David, in 1918. After the automobile college closed, Hill moved to Lumberport, West Virginia, with his wife's family. He later moved to Chicago and took a job at LaSalle Extension University before co-starting a candy business he dubbed the Betsy Ross Candy Shop.
In September 1915, Hill established and served as dean of a new school in Chicago, the "George Washington Institute of Publicity," where he intended to teach the principles of success and self-confidence. On June 4, 1918, the Chicago Tribune reported that the state of Illinois had issued two arrest warrants for Hill, who was charged with violating the Blue Sky laws, against securities fraud, for attempting to fraudulently sell stock in his school with a capitalization of $100,000, even though the school's assets were valued at just $1,200. The school ended up closing soon after.
Later in his life, Hill would say that he spent this time advising President Woodrow Wilson in the midst of World War I. It is also not known if this statement is true, but it is quoted in one of the collections of Napoleon Hill speeches compiled by Don Green.
After the end of the George Washington Institute, Hill embarked on several other business ventures. He started several personal magazines, including Hill's Golden Rule and Napoleon Hill Magazine. In 1922, Hill also started the Intra-Wall Correspondence School, a charitable foundation intended to provide educational materials to prisoners in Ohio. The foundation was run by, among others, check forger and ex-con Butler Storke, who would be sent back to prison just a year later. According to Hill's official biography, this period was also when hundreds of documents associating Hill with various famous figures were destroyed in a fire in Chicago.
In 1928, Hill moved to Philadelphia and convinced a Connecticut-based publisher to publish his eight-volume work The Law of Success. The book was Hill's first big success, allowing Hill to adopt an affluent lifestyle. By 1929, he had bought a Rolls-Royce and a 600-acre estate in the Catskill Mountains, with the help of some lenders.
However, the onset of the Great Depression also called the Crash of '29, took a toll on Hill's finances, forcing him to divest his Catskills estate in foreclosure before the end of 1929. Hill's next published work, The Magic Staircase to success, turned out to be a commercial failure (what a paradox!). Over the next several years, Hill traveled throughout the United States, reverting to his habits of the previous decade of starting various short-lived business ventures.
In 1935, Hill's wife, Florence, filed for divorce from him in the state of Florida, this is documented in Emmert, J. M, The Story of Napoleon Hill.
In 1937, Hill published what would become his best-selling book Think and Grow Rich. Hill's new wife, Rosa Lee Beeland, contributed substantially to the authorship and editing of Think and Grow Rich. Hill's biographers would later say that this book sold 20 million copies over 50 years, although as Richard Lingeman comments in his short biography, Alice Payne Hackett's 70 Years of Best Sellers, the number of sales was considerably less.«.
Returning to wealth again, Hill restarted his lavish lifestyle and purchased a new estate in Mount Dora, Florida. The couple divorced around 1940, and much of the proceeds from book sales went to his ex-wife Rosa Lee Hill, leaving Napoleon Hill to begin his quest for success once again.
Hill then met Annie Lou Norman, 47. They married in 1943 and moved to California. Hill then returned to the lecturing trade once again.
Is it true that you can get rich by visualizing your wealth, or was this a baseless tale from Napoleon Hill?
The book Think and Grow Rich has sparked a whole series of controversies in the world of self-help due to its conception of personal success and development. So the question that many are asking today is: Is it possible to become a rich person based on the vision raised by Napoleon Hill in his book?
In a Forbes magazine article from January 2020, Dr. Grace Lee raises the question about this possibility and if this is something that is supported by science.
One of the reasons the question is relevant is that after Napoleon Hill's death in the 1970s, his book has remained relevant to the public and still commands great admiration today.
Hill's book suggests that the road to success begins with passionate desire. This desire has to do with defining a purpose that is valuable to you, it also becomes an obsession that your mind is sure will be something that you will turn into a reality.
But what does science say about visualization and conscious work on a passionate desire?
Dr. Grace points out that when people pursue a meaningful desire, two things happen in our brains. First, we experience an emotion that ignites our passion, which often leads to a state of enthusiasm and pride. Passion is impulsive and instinctive, as it arises from having an incomplete perception of the nature of reality. Passion can motivate us to survive, and to overcome obstacles, but it is not a reliable point of guidance when it comes to taking us to great levels of success or fulfillment.
The emotional area of our brain is responsible for our passion as well as its intensity levels. This includes the amygdala, the basal ganglia, and the brainstem, which are the primitive structures for instinctive and impulsive behaviors.
The passions can be the source of human suffering too because they are nothing more than impulses towards pleasure or instincts towards the avoidance of pain. Having a better life also requires engaging rational control over our emotional appetites.
So it is also important that we are aware that we experience and have an awareness of a definite purpose in our lives, which is the primary and essential function of our sense of accomplishment. A defined purpose clarifies our direction and our deepest desires while giving us a clear rationale for why we want to achieve our desires. This is our true north, our highest intrinsic value and our resolve to be unstoppable.
The prefrontal cortex of our brain is responsible for our search for a defined purpose. It boasts all high-level cognitive functions, including the self-taught spirit. This allows us to control our emotional impulses created by passion.
Not coincidentally, the first principle of Hill's book is to have a passionate desire for a definite purpose, not a passion. This activates the prefrontal cortex and initiates persistent and consistent actions towards our goals.
The next principle of Think and Grow Rich involves visualization and the human imagination.
Our subconscious programming is responsible for everything we have created in our present and future lives. The conscious mind will not behave in a way that is inconsistent with the way the subconscious mind operates.
All of our beliefs, values, goals, and dreams have been programmed into our subconscious minds since birth. Subconscious programming influences the consequences of our lives, even if we are not fully aware of it.
Scientific research has shown that our brains respond similarly to real and imagined scenarios. This means that we can influence our subconscious mind through our imagination, and improve the way we respond and react to our reality. Our subconscious mind is powerfully responsible for producing most of our life experiences.
This is why Napoleon Hill's success principles involve visualization and imagination. These habits are formed by the principles applied to reprogram our subconscious in ways that produce future life experiences that are in alignment with our defined purpose.
So yes, Napoleon Hill's Success Principles are backed by science and can help us live better, more meaningful lives. For all these reasons, not only because it has promoted great promises, Think and Grow Rich is one of the best books of our time and can seriously boost our personal development and our growth in each of the areas of our lives. life.
Now, it is important to note that although Hill's principles can be extremely useful for personal development and financial growth, Hill's history and legacy are full of controversies that cannot be ignored as we will see later.
Hill's "Philosophy of Achievement" was offered as a rags-to-riches formula for success, this book was initially published in 1928 in the multi-volume course of study for The Law of Success so that a rewrite of a 1925 manuscript. Hill identified freedom, democracy, capitalism, and harmony among the foundations of his "Philosophy of Achievement." He stated that without these fundamentals, great personal achievements would not be possible. We can therefore affirm that Napoleon Hill is a liberal thinker, at least in a broad sense of the term, understanding this the defense of Western values inherited from Enlightenment thought.
One of the "secrets" of achievement was discussed in Think and Grow Rich, but Hill insisted that readers would benefit more from discovering it for themselves. Although he did not explicitly identify this secret in the book, he offered insights into it on 20 pages of the book: "If you really want money so badly that your desire is an obsession, you will have no difficulty convincing yourself that you are going to acquire it. The goal is to want money and to be so determined to have it that you convince yourself that you will have it… You can also know, right here, that you can never have riches in large amounts unless you build up in yourself that strong desire for money, and the conviction that you will really possess it". In the introduction, Hill asserts the alleged "secret" that Andrew Carnegie 'told me implicitly and carelessly', and that this secret also inspired Manuel L. Quezon of the Philippine Islands to 'win freedom for his people, and then led it as its first president.
Although Hill repeatedly mentions a "burning desire for money" throughout the book, he also suggests that it's not really his "secret" at all. By contrast, at the end of his first book, The Law of Success, from nine years earlier, he identifies his secret as The Golden Rule: only by working harmoniously in cooperation with other individuals or groups of individuals and thereby creating value and benefit for them. you will create sustainable achievement for yourself.
He presented the notion of a "Definite Core Purpose" as challenging his readers to ask, "What do I really believe in?" According to Hill, "98%" of people had few or no strong beliefs, making success unlikely.
Hill used a story from his son, Blair, which he says was an inspiration to him because, although Blair was born without ears, and although Hill was told by his doctor that his son would not be able to hear or speak, Blair grew up able to hear and speak. almost normally. Hill reports that his son, during his senior year of college, read chapter two of the Think and Grow Rich manuscript, discovering Hill's secret "for himself" and later inspiring "hundreds and thousands" of people who did not. They couldn't hear or speak.
From 1952 to 1962, Hill taught his Philosophy of Personal Achievement at conferences on the science of success in association with W. Clement Stone.
In 1960 Hill and Stone co-authored the book Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude. Norman Vincent Peale is quoted as saying: "These two men [Hill and Stone] have a rare gift of inspiring and helping people…Indeed, I owe both of them a personal debt of gratitude for the useful help I have received from their writings." »
The Philosophy of Achievement is included in the "Must Read" list of books in your 2008 view of John C. Maxwell.
Hill's argument gave a personal perspective (rather boldly and perhaps narcissistically) on issues such as racism, slavery, oppression, failure, revolution, war, and poverty, saying that overcoming these difficulties using his "Philosophy achievement" was the responsibility of all humans.
Later in life, Hill claimed that the turning point in his life had been a 1908 assignment as a journalist to interview industrialist, philanthropist, and billionaire Andrew Carnegie (died 1919). In 1908, Carnegie was among the most powerful and richest men in the world. Hill wrote, after Carnegie's death, that Carnegie had met with him at the time and challenged him to interview wealthy people to discover a simple formula for success, and then had simply gone about interviewing many successful people. (read rich) of the time.
Acknowledgments in his 1928 multivolume work, The Law of Success, listed 45 of those he had studied, "most of these men I knew at close quarters, in person," as those to whom the book was dedicated, Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, and Edwin C. Barnes (an associate of Thomas Edison). Hill reported that Carnegie had given him a letter of introduction from Ford, who Hill said had introduced him to Alexander Graham Bell, Elmer R. Gates, Thomas Edison, and Luther Burbank.
According to the publishers of The Law of Success, Ralston University Press, William H. Taft, Cyrus HK Curtis, Thomas Edison, Luther Burbank, EM Statler, Edward W. Bok, and John submitted their positive reviews for The Law of Success. The list in the book's acknowledgments includes, among those Hill wrote he had personally interviewed, Rufus A. Ayers, John Burroughs, Harvey Samuel Firestone, Elbert H. Gary, James J. Hill, George Safford Parker, Theodore Roosevelt, Charles M. Schwab, Frank A. Vanderlip, John Wanamaker, F. W. Woolworth, Daniel Thew Wright, and William Wrigley, Jr.
Hill openly described spirit visits in Chapter 12 of his book Grow Rich: With Peace of Mind (1967). He described the spirits as unseen friends, unseen watchers, strange beings, and the Great School of Masters who had been watching over him and maintaining a "school of wisdom." Hill claims that the "Master" spoke to him audibly, revealing secret knowledge. Hill further insists that the Masters "can disincarnate themselves and travel instantaneously to any place they choose to acquire essential knowledge or to give knowledge directly, by voice, to any other person." Get rich! With Peace of Mind, the book of the sixties, he was allegedly influenced by Hill's spiritual voices; Hill quotes the "Master" and says, "Much of what he said has already been presented to you in the chapters of this book or will follow in other chapters."
Napoleon Hill died at the age of 87 on November 8, 1970. His death was reported by the American newspaper The Bee, of Danville, Virginia. Hill's obituary noted: "The self-taught author of Think and Grow Rich died on Sunday at the age of 87. Publishers say his self-help book has sold more than 20 million copies. He ran the Napoleon Hill Foundation, which worked on the rehabilitation of ex-convicts."
In addition to the fraud charges, the authenticity of many of Hill's statements has been widely questioned. Napoleon Hill's collaboration with Andrew Carnegie was never confirmed by Carnegie or his estate, and Hill reportedly only began claiming to have interviewed Carnegie after Carnegie's death. Apart from Hill's writings, there are no accounts that the meeting ever took place. According to Andrew Carnegie's biographer, David Nasaw, of the alleged meeting between Carnegie and Hill he stated that "I found no evidence of any kind that Carnegie and Hill met" and "I found no evidence that the book was authentic". Nasaw's claim is collected in Matt Novak's book,"The Untold Story of Napoleon Hill, The Greatest Self-Help Swindler of All Time".
Outside of Hill's own writings, and aside from briefly meeting Thomas Edison in 1923, evidence is lacking for many of Hill's other claims to have met other successful men. According to Napoleon Hill's official biography, the reason for this is that photos of him, letters from presidents, and letters of endorsement from famous men were lost in a fire.
In addition to these and the fraud charges, Napoleon Hill's other statements have been called into question. Napoleon Hill claimed to have helped President Wilson negotiate Germany's surrender in World War I, but there is no known evidence that this happened. He claimed that he helped President Franklin Delano Roosevelt write his fire chats, and scripts for a radio show, without offering any evidence either. He claimed to be a lawyer, although his official biography states that "There is no record of him rendering legal services to anyone." There are also no known records of Hill interviewing the other famous men he claimed to have interviewed, such as Charles M. Schwab, Theodore Roosevelt, John D. Rockefeller, Edwin C. Barnes and Alexander Graham Bell.
Success Magazine, however, credits Hill's claims without even mentioning all the shadows of doubt about Hill's legacy, noting that: Inspired by a suggestion from industrialist Andrew Carnegie, Napoleon Hill spent 20 years interviewing the most successful of its time. He distilled the wisdom from it into the classic 1937 bestseller, Think and Grow Rich. Entrepreneur and author Greg S. Reid followed Hill's lead, applying some of his lessons in the book Think and Grow Rich STICKABILITY: The Power of Perseverance. Citing examples set by today's achievers, Reid offers these and other tips:
Get along with other people. Success is not finite. Another person's success does not compromise your potential, therefore take an interest in the achievements of others. These same people will be more willing to help you too.
Do not give up. Focus on the result instead of the fight. You will reap the rewards when you have the courage and ability to stick with your vision.
Stop procrastinating. Don't let doubt stop you. The greatest achievers are those who seize opportunities when they present themselves. Have the confidence to take on a task that may seem overwhelming.
Stay faithful. Let your passion and commitment become stronger than your fears. Understand that it is your job as a great leader to stand out and take initiative, which sometimes means breaking the status quo.
Be a great leader. Leadership is not reserved for a special few. Leadership is learned and involves facing challenges with composure and balance. Only then will you clearly see the solutions needed to achieve your goals.

Despite his controversial life story. Napoleon Hill remains a benchmark for financial success and his teachings are frequently cited by leading specialists in financial growth and self-help. Although his philosophy and thought may be debatable, I consider it important to leave some of his phrases to evaluate his thought and make a judgment (whether negative or positive) of the teachings of this millionaire author who still today continues to arouse hatred and love to the length and breadth of the world.
"If you want the mind to grasp an idea and form a habit for the mind to automatically act on that idea, you have to tell the mind what you want, over and over and over again."
"Whatever you lack in education, knowledge, or influence, you can always get it through someone who has it. The exchange of favors and the exchange of knowledge is one of the greatest exchanges in the world» .
"The subconscious mind only knows what you say to it, or what you allow other people to say, or what you allow the circumstance of life to say… it accepts the things you send, and if you predominantly send thoughts about poverty and poor health and failure, that's exactly what you'll get."
"I don't know of any quality or trait that can give a person a quicker chance than to get out of their way or do someone a favor or do something useful."
Don't take anything too seriously, no matter what it is. During the Depression (1929 and 1930s), four of my friends committed suicide. Two of them jumped from tall buildings, one shot himself and one took poison. They did it because they lost all their money. I lost twice as much as they did, but I didn't jump off any buildings, I didn't shoot myself, I didn't get poisoned… My mental attitude towards that was to start right away looking for that seed of improvement."
"You don't have to be very bright. You don't have to have such a wonderful education. You can be an outstanding success if you just take what little you have, whether it's a little or a lot, and start using it, putting it to work, doing something about it, and doing something with it. And, of course, that requires initiative.
"Hoping is better than wishing. Because the difference between a hope and a wish is that hope is a beginning to assume faith».

Lemonade sale: Sweet fundraiser – Girl raising money for Big Cat Rescue
Alice Carvajal, 7, will be selling lemonade Saturday, June 26, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
DAWSON RASPUZZI
Posted: 06/07/2010 11:07:42 PM EDT
Monday June 7, 2010
BENNINGTON — On hot summer days, it's common to see boys and girls selling lemonade by the side of the street. But it's not every day a 7-year old puts in the time to help juice fresh lemons and bake cookies to sell at the stand, and then donates the money raised to help abused and exploited tigers, lions and other exotic cats.
But that's just what Alice Carvajal is doing is doing with her "tiger-ific" lemonade stand on Saturday, June 26, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in front of Knapp's Underground on Main Street.
Visited Mexico
The lemonade stand was the 7-year-old's idea after she and her family visited Playa del Carmen, Mexico, two years ago and saw a circus truck hauling a trailer with a lion, tiger and miniature pony in it.
"It was horrifying and totally put this dark cloud on our whole trip," said Alice's mother, Shannon Mclaughlin-Carvajal.
Last year the family returned to the area and saw a similar truck pulling two tigers in a trailer that looked comatose without food and water. The image stuck with Alice long after their trip came to an end.
"I felt bad for them," Alice said. "They looked really tired and hot and thirsty."
After returning home, Alice saw a show on television with kids selling lemonade to raise money to fight cancer and she got the idea of holding her own lemonade sale to help abused exotic cats.
Mclaughlin-Carvajal said she helped her daughter research online to find an organization to donate the money to and they found Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, Fla., a nonprofit educational sanctuary devoted to rescuing and providing a permanent home for exotic cats.
They chose Big Cat Rescue, Mclaughlin-Carvajalsaid, because 100 percent of donations it receives go to rescuing wild cats.
In October, the family will go to Walt Disney World and spend one day visiting Big Cat Rescue, where Alice will present the nonprofit with a check for the money she raises.
Big Cat Rescue promised Alice that during their visit she'll be given a personal tour of the facility, in which she's especially looking forward to seeing tigers and lions, she said.
The word about the lemonade stand is spreading fast, as more than 70 "friends" have already joined a Web page called "one lemonade stand, one little girl, one big cause" on the social networking Web site Facebook.
In case of rain, a makeup date for the stand will be June 27.

2014 Nissan Cube Review

The 2014 Nissan Cube is a hatchback that has a spacious cabin and pleasant ride. Competitors, however, offer sharper handling, stronger engines, and better interior materials.

2014 Nissan Cube Overview
Is the 2014 Nissan Cube a Good Used Car?
The Nissan Cube is a fine car if you're not interested in power or style. It will get you from point A to point B, but it won't be exciting. The Cube has a good list of easy-to-use standard and available features. However, its interior is full of plastics, and it has sluggish highway acceleration.
The 2014 Nissan Cube's four-cylinder engine offers decent power for most driving situations, but its highway acceleration is lackluster. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, but the available automatic transmission is better matched to the engine. The base Cube earns EPA estimates of 25 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway, which is low for the class. Although the Cube's handling isn't very agile, it has a pleasant ride and strong brakes. It's also easy to park.

The 2014 Nissan Cube seats five on cloth upholstery and has a spacious – but bland – interior. The rear seats recline and can slide to increase passenger space or cargo room when needed. There is plenty of space in the front seats as well. The climate and infotainment controls are easy to reach and operate.
Standard features include a six-speaker stereo, Bluetooth phone connectivity, an iPod interface, steering wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls, and keyless entry. Available features include touch-screen navigation, a rearview camera, a Rockford Fosgate stereo, a USB port, satellite radio, automatic climate control, and push-button start. This is a good amount of standard and available features for the class.

Used 2014 Nissan Cube Prices
The price of a used 2014 Nissan Cube ranges from about $12,600 for the base S trim with a six-speed manual to about $14,100 for the fully loaded SL trim with a continuously variable automatic transmission. The price varies depending on the vehicle's condition, mileage, features, and location.
How Reliable Is the 2014 Nissan Cube?
The 2014 Nissan Cube has a reliability score of three out of five from J.D. Power and Associates. This is average compared to other cars on the road.
How Safe Is the Cube?
The 2014 Nissan Cube received four out of five stars in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) rollover test. It also received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) highest score of Good in all crashworthiness categories.
The Cube doesn't come standard with any active safety features. It does offer a rearview camera, however.

Should I Consider Another Used Cube?
The Nissan Cube debuted in 2009 and was produced through the 2014 model year. All models are similar in terms of features, space, and performance. However, 2010 models gained Bluetooth and an iPod interface, among other features. There have been no significant changes since then, so you can likely save money and get roughly the same car if you choose a Cube from the 2010 to 2013 model years.

Which Used Nissan Cube Is Right for Me?
The 2014 Nissan Cube comes in two trims: S and SL. Some standard features include Bluetooth phone connectivity, an iPod interface, and keyless entry. However, the base Cube model doesn't come standard with a commonly desired safety feature: a rearview camera. Upgrading to the higher trim, which has many more available options, may be worth it.
You might consider a certified pre-owned Cube. For its certified pre-owned vehicles, Nissan extends the original new-car warranty to seven years or 100,000 miles. To become certified pre-owned, each vehicle must pass a 167-point inspection. Additional benefits like towing and roadside assistance may be available, so read the Nissan warranty page carefully.

2014 Nissan Cube and Other Cars to Consider
Which Is Better: 2014 Nissan Cube or 2014 Kia Soul?
The Kia Soul and Nissan Cube are similar in many ways: They both have spacious cabins, a generous list of standard and available features, and good everyday power from their engines. However, both models are lacking when it comes to highway acceleration. The Soul has a better interior design than the Cube, and it offers one of the largest cargo capacities in the class. Although a used base-model Soul costs less than the Cube, prices even out for higher trims. Overall, the 2014 Soul is the better used car. It's the way to go.
Which Is Better: 2014 Nissan Cube or 2014 Scion xB?
The Scion xB and Cube are also similar in many ways. Both cars are easy to maneuver and park thanks to their small size. Additionally, both cars have plastics throughout their cabins and similar standard and available features. However, the xB has more cargo space and lower fuel economy estimates than the Cube. If you need the extra cargo capacity, go with the xB; if you don't, go with the Cube for better fuel economy.
Which Is Better: 2014 Nissan Cube or 2013 Honda Fit?
Honda didn't produce the Fit for the 2014 model year. The 2013 model was the last one before its redesign for 2015. The Fit's cabin has ample space; adults will find head- and legroom comfortable in the front and rear seats. The Fit comes with similar standard and available features to the Cube. It also features Honda's Magic Seat, which flips in different ways to accommodate a variety of passenger and cargo combinations. The Fit's engine provides a fair amount of power in the city and on the highway. Additionally, the 2013 Fit won our Best Subcompact Car for the Money and Best Hatchback for the Money awards when it was new. With similar prices to the Cube, the Fit is definitely the model to choose.

Q: Open activity from class that extends MainActivity I am dynamically adding rows to a table in my MainActivity from a class that extends MainActivity. In this class that I call FeedRow I assign an onClick listener to a button that was in the layout I used to inflate the row with. When I click the button to load an activity the cat says that the intent is null. I hope you understand my question. Thank you.
04-01 23:47:40.282: E/AndroidRuntime(1122):     at android.content.ComponentName.<init>(ComponentName.java:77)
04-01 23:47:40.282: E/AndroidRuntime(1122):     at android.content.Intent.<init>(Intent.java:3813)

Class:
public class FeedRow extends MainActivity implements OnClickListener {

String status = "";
Context context
View v;

 FeedRow(Context context, TableLayout table, String status){
// A lot of code to create the row button shown only...

 Button button = (Button)v.findViewById(R.id.commentButton);
 button.setOnClickListener(this);

 }

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// Intent will be null when I try to run
   Intent intent = new Intent(context, CommentActivity.class);
   startActivity(intent);
}

A: I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do, but your Activity should not have a constructor. Secondly, for your context, you can simple use this, as Activity, somewhere down the line extends Context.


Cast- Akshay Kumar, Radhika Apte, Sonam Kapoor & Amitabh Bachchan (Cameo).
Almost six months after Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, superstar Akshay Kumar is back with his another content driven film tilted PadMan that also dares to change the age-old thinking of our society. Directed by R.Balki, this comedy-drama is inspired by the life of Tamil Nadu based social activist Arunachalam Muruganantham who created low-cost sanitary pads for the women of rural India.
The storyline of PadMan resembles with Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, where the change that a husband wants to bring in society for the welfare of his wife and other women, causes separation in their relationship and at the end, they unite back. The major difference is, in TEPK the issue was a toilet and here the focus is on sanitary pads.
The film starts with the wedding of Lakshmikant Chauhan (Akshay Kumar) and Gayatri (Radhika Apte) supported by a song 'Aaj Se Teri'. Lakshmi loves her wife very much and takes care of her every need. He shows concerned about her health and asks her to use sanitary pads during periods instead of a dirty cloth.
When Gayatri refuses to use costly sanitary napkins, Lakshmi tries to make napkins by himself. With every failed attempt, his concern becomes an obsession, because of which villagers start pointing a finger on his character. What happens next, makes rest of the film and must say the second half is better than first one.
Talking about the acting, undoubtedly Akshay Kumar has given one of his best performances so far. He has played his character with complete dedication and surely deserves an award for this. The leading ladies Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte, both have justified with their roles superbly.
The direction of PadMan is done by R.Balki and making a full-fledged film on such a taboo subject is truly appreciatable. Music of the film is given by Amit Trivedi and it is decent because of one repeatable song 'Aaj Se Teri'. The screenplay is OK but editing could have been better definitely. But still, it's a must-watch film, can be enjoyed with everyone.
Review of Akshay Kumar, Radhika Apte, and Sonam Kapoor starrer PadMan. Directed by R.Balki, the movie is inspired by the life of Tamil Nadu based social activist Arunachalam Muruganantham who created low-cost sanitary pads for the women of rural India.


As the piston reaches top dead center at the end of the compression stroke,theignition system produces an electric spark. The spark sets fire to the fuel-air mixture. Inburning,the mixture gets very hot and expands in all directions. The pressure rises toabout 600 to 700 pounds per square inch. Since the piston is the only part that can move,the force produced by the expanding gases forces the piston down. This force,or thrust,is carried through the connecting rod to the crankpin on the crankshaft. The crankshaft isgiven a powerful twist. This is known as the power stroke(Fig. 3. 5).This turningeffort,rapidly repeated in the engine and carried through gears and shafts,will turn thewheels of a vehicle and cause it to move along the highway.
