By Clive Cussler, Boyd Morrison. 2018
Adventure stories, Suspense and thrillers
Only Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the Oregon stand between two warring moguls and global havoc in this thrilling…
suspense novel in Clive Cussler's #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Nearly two thousand years ago, an Eastern emperor charged a small group with safeguarding secrets powerful enough to change the history of mankind. They went down in legend as the Nine Unknown Men--and now two rival factions of their descendants are fighting a mighty battle. Both sides think they are saving the world, but their tactics could very well bring about the end of humankind. Soon, Juan Cabrillo and his team of expert operatives aboard the Oregon find themselves trapped between two power-hungry adversaries, both of whom are willing to use shocking means to accomplish their goals.

Cabrillo and the team must divide and conquer as they fight dual threats, which include a supercomputer at sea and satellites that can wipe out technology across the globe--including the high-tech weapons on board the Oregon. The crew must rely on their unique skills to stop the tyrants in their tracks and save the earth from a dynasty of terror.

Clive Cussler's the Devil's Sea (Dirk Pitt Adventure #26)
By Dirk Cussler. 2021
Fearless adventurer Dirk Pitt must unravel a historical mystery of epic importance in the latest novel in the beloved New…
York Times bestselling series created by the "grand master of adventure" Clive Cussler.

 In 1959 Tibet, a Buddhist artifact of immense importance was seemingly lost to history in the turmoil of the Communist takeover. But when National Underwater and Marine Agency Director Dirk Pitt discovers a forgotten plane crash in the Philippine Sea over 60 years later, new clues emerge to its hidden existence. But Pitt and his compatriot Al Giordino have larger worries when they are ordered to recover a failed hypersonic missile from Luzon Strait.

 Only someone else is after it, too…a rogue Chinese military team that makes their own earthshattering discovery, hijacking a ship capable of stirring the waters of the deep into a veritable Devil's Sea. From the cold dark depths of the Pacific Ocean to the dizzying heights of the Himalaya Mountains, only Dirk Pitt and his children, Summer and Dirk Jr., can unravel the mysteries that will preserve a religion, save a nation…and save the world from war.

Odessa Sea: Dirk Pitt #24 (Dirk Pitt #24)
Dirk Pitt responds to a mysterious Mayday signal from a deserted ship that will draw him toward a deadly secret…
leftover from the Cold War arms race in this #1 New York Times-bestselling series.

 Dirk Pitt, the director of the National Underwater and Marine Agency, is on the Black Sea, helping to locate a lost Ottoman shipwreck, when he responds to an urgent Mayday—"Under attack!"—from a nearby freighter. But when he and his colleague Al Giordino arrive, there is nobody there. Just dead bodies and a smell of sulfur in the air. As Pitt and Giordino explore, a blast from the stern scuttles the ship swiftly, almost taking them with it.
 The more the two of them search for the secret of the death ship, the deeper they descend into an extraordinary series of discoveries. A desperate attempt in 1917 to preserve the wealth and power of the Romanov Empire. A Cold War bomber lost with a deadly cargo. A brilliant developer of advanced drone technology on an unknown mission. Modern-day nuclear smugglers, determined Ukrainian rebels, a beautiful anti-terrorism agent from Europol—all will combine to present Pitt with the most dangerous challenge of his career.
 And not only Pitt. His two children, marine engineer Dirk and oceanographer Summer, are exploring a mysterious shipwreck of their own, when they are catapulted into his orbit. The three of them are used to perilous situations—but this time, they may have found their match.
 Filled with breathtaking suspense and remarkable imagination, Odessa Sea is further proof that when it comes to adventure writing, nobody beats Clive Cussler.

Nigerian YouTuber Tayo Aina shares video of himself ice-skating
EntertainmentNewsNigeria
Tayo Aina, a fairly renowned Nigerian YouTuber from hailing from Lagos, has shared a video on his social media accounts featuring himself on a trip to Cape Town. Here, the "storyteller" shared his experience trying ice skating for the first time. It was a video from the popular short video platform, Tiktok. He had created the video for his official account, named "TayoAinaFilms."
The video features a voiceover from Aina, where the audience can hear him narrating his experience of Ice skating for the first time. The video starts with the YouTuber from Lagos stating that he was on a trip to Cape Town, and he abandoned his plan to go out and watch a movie and instead decided to try to learn how to skate.
I tried Ice Skating for the first time and this is how it went! 😭 pic.twitter.com/sF8acjmslr
— Tayo Aina (@tayoainafilms) November 4, 2022
In his own words, Tayo Aina stated that on getting to the skating rink, he got a bit intimidated, seeing the people there attempting various stunts. Meanwhile, the words on Aina's mind were, "I hope I don't break my ankle doing this"
Further, in the video, the Nigerian YouTuber with a taste for adventure could be seen attempting to try to skate "for the first time on a skating rink" The adventure spirit in his head wanted him to "just try it."
According to the video, the storyteller struggled on the rink for a short time before finding his footing. He started enjoying the experience.
In his own words, within two seconds, he started feeling like he was a pro skater. However, shortly afterwards, he realized that it was not true as he "slipped and fell on the ground". At this point, he revealed that he did not have footage of the "falling". (His followers on the internet believe that Aina omitted the footage on purpose to avoid embarrassment)
However, an adventurer's pride can hardly let them give up easily. Consequently, he got back to his feet to try again.
According to the voiceover in the video, thirty minutes of "failure" later, he was successfully skating on the rink. He expressed that the experience was magical.
On social media, the video received a lot of love from the followers of the storyteller

The Euler number was defined as the intersection number of the zero section of topoology oriented vector bundle with itself. The rules for passing the course: I also proved the parametric version of TT and the jet version. I stated the problem of understanding which vector bundles admit nowhere vanishing sections.
I defined the intersection number of a map and a manifold and the intersection number polladk two submanifolds. I first discussed orientability and orientations of manifolds.
AMS eBooks: AMS Chelsea Publishing
Immidiate consequences are that 1 any two disjoint closed subsets can be separated by disjoint open subsets and 2 for any member of an open cover one can find a closed subset, such that the resulting collection of closed subsets still covers the whole manifold.
There is a midterm examination and a final examination. In others, the students are guided step-by-step through proofs of fundamental results, differentia, as the Jordan-Brouwer separation theorem.
It is a jewel of mathematical exposition, judiciously picking exactly the right mixture of detail and generality to display the richness within. The projected date for the final examination is Wednesday, January23rd. Readership Undergraduate and graduate students interested in differential topology. The existence of such a section is equivalent to splitting the vector bundle into a trivial line bundle and a vector bundle of lower rank. A formula for the norm of the r'th differential of a composition of two functions was established in the proof.
I outlined a proof of the fact. This, in turn, was proven by globalizing the corresponding denseness result for maps from a closed ball to Euclidean pollaci.
In the years since its first publication, Guillemin and Pollack's book has become a standard text on the subject. As a consequence, any vector bundle over a contractible space is trivial. An exercise section in Chapter 4 leads the student through a construction of de Rham cohomology and a proof of its homotopy invariance.

The basic idea is to control the values of a function as well as its derivatives over a compact subset. I defined the linking number and the Hopf map and described some applications.
Then I defined the compact-open and strong topology on the set of continuous functions between topological spaces. Then a version of Sard's Theorem was proved. The proof of this relies on the fact that the identity map of the sphere is not homotopic to a constant map.
Towards the end, basic knowledge of Algebraic Topology definition and elementary properties of homology, cohomology and homotopy groups, weak homotopy equivalences might be helpful, but I will review the relevant constructions and facts in the lecture.
The proof consists of an inductive procedure and a relative version of an apprixmation result for maps between open subsets of Euclidean spaces, which is proved with the help of convolution kernels. The book is suitable for either an introductory graduate course or an advanced undergraduate course.
In the end I defined isotopies and the vertical derivative and showed that all tubular neighborhoods of a fixed submanifold can be related by isotopies, up to restricting to a neighborhood of the zero section and the action of an automorphism of the normal bundle. At the beginning I gave a short motivation for differential topology.
Browse the current eBook Collections price list. I plan to cover the following topics: The standard notions that are taught in the first course on Differential Geometry e.
I presented three equivalent ways to think about these concepts: I proved that any vector bundle whose rank is strictly larger than the dimension of the manifold admits such a section. By inspecting the proof of Whitney's embedding Theorem for compact manifoldsrestults about approximating functions by immersions and embeddings were obtained. Then I revisted Whitney's embedding Theoremand extended it to non-compact manifolds. Moreover, I showed that if the rank equals the dimension, there is always a section that vanishes at exactly one point.
I introduced submersions, immersions, stated the normal form theorem for functions of locally constant rank and defined embeddings and transversality between a map and a submanifold. As an application of the jet version, I deduced that the set of Morse functions on a smooth manifold forms an open and dense subset with respect to the strong topology. The main aim was to show that homotopy classes of maps from a compact, connected, oriented manifold to the sphere of the same dimension are classified by the degree.
ASTM A576 90B PDF
I proved homotopy invariance of pull backs.
It asserts that the set of all singular values of any smooth manifold is a subset of measure zero. I showed that, in the oriented case and under the assumption that the rank equals the dimension, the Euler number guillemih the only obstruction to the existence of nowhere vanishing sections. Some are routine explorations of the main material. I used Tietze's Extension Theorem and the fact that a smooth mapping to a sphere, which is defined on the boundary of a manifolds, extends smoothly to the whole manifold if and only if the degree is zero.
I continued to discuss the degree of a map between compact, oriented manifolds of equal dimension. Differential Topology provides an elementary and intuitive introduction to the study of smooth manifolds.
The book has a wealth of exercises of various types. Various transversality statements where proven with diffreential help of Sard's Theorem and the Globalization Theorem both established in the previous class.
This reduces to proving that any two vector bundles which are concordant i. Concerning embeddings, one first ueses the local result to find a neighborhood Y of a given embedding f in the strong topology, such that any map contained in this neighborhood is an embedding when restricted to the memebers of some open cover.
It is the topology whose basis differengial given by allowing for infinite intersections of memebers of the subbasis which defines the weak topology, as long as the corresponding collection of charts on M is locally finite.

London: Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has refused to confirm whether Kepa Arrizabalaga will return to the team at Fulham on Sunday after the controversial keeper was cast into exile following his Wembley mutiny.
Sarri is yet to decide whether to recall Kepa for Sunday's London derby after dropping him for Wednesday's win over Tottenham Hotspur.
The Spaniard was disciplined over his extraordinary refusal to be substituted when he went down with a cramp in the closing moments of last weekend's League Cup final defeat against Manchester City.
Willy Caballero started in place of Kepa against Tottenham, although Sarri insisted after the match that the former Athletic Bilbao star remained his first choice.
Sarri said Kepa and Argentine veteran Caballero will share goalkeeping duties in the next two games, with one playing on Sunday and the other in next week's Europa League last-16 first leg with Dynamo Kiev.
But, speaking at a press conference on Friday, Sarri wouldn't be drawn on which match Kepa would start in, raising the prospect of the world's most expensive keeper potentially missing a second successive league game.
"The Kepa situation now is closed. Kepa is our first (choice) goalkeeper," Sarri said.
"But we are very happy for Willy because now we know very well he's able to play also in a very difficult match. I'm sure in one of the two next matches Kepa will be on the pitch."
Sarri, whose side had lost three out of four Premier League matches before their win against Spurs, said he was wary of the threat from lowly Fulham, who sacked manager Claudio Ranieri this week and replaced him with Scott Parker on a caretaker basis.
"I'm really very sorry," Sarri said about his Italian compatriot. "But I know very well his character, so I know very well that we will see him very soon, on another bench.
"Usually when there is a change of the coach there is a reaction. And so we have to front (face) also the reaction.
"Then it's very difficult for us to prepare the match because we don't know the new system, the new ideas. It's a very difficult match, I think."
Sarri has no injuries to consider but expects to rotate after a challenging week.
"On Sunday we played for 130 minutes and 95 minutes on Wednesday, so we need to value the recovery," he said.

The highest any Swiss player came off the board occurred in 2010 when Nino Niederreiter went fifth overall to the New York Islanders. Hischier is a near lock to go before that and a chance to be the first Swiss player ever selected first overall.

Hischier has been a player on the radar for the 2017 class for the last few years, but it has taken this season to catapult him to conversations for the top pick. His first crack at the North American game with the Halifax Mooseheads, who took Hischier sixth overall in the 2016 CHL import draft, allayed any fears that his game would not translate to the smaller, more physical ice surface.
His first campaign with the Mooseheads was spectacular, as he notched 38 goals and 48 assists in 57 games while adjusting to a new culture and a new style of hockey. His 86 points led all rookies and placed 10th overall in QMJHL scoring. Hischier locked the down the top center role with Maxime Fortier on his wing for a deadly combination that propelled the young Halifax squad to a surprising berth in the QMJHL playoffs.
His international play is equally impressive. Hischier was better than a point-per-game player at both the WJC U18s and U20s, combining for five goals and eight assists in 10 games.

Hischier has decent size for a centerman, but it is his on-ice vision, hockey sense, and creativity that dazzles. He uses his physical attributes well and shows a strong compete level overall in all three zones of the ice. His defensive game is currently best described as solid and improving. That said, due to his elite vision, his defensive positioning and active stick are usually strong.
In the offensive zone, Hischier shines brightly. His head is up as he carries the puck up ice with above-average speed. His passing skills are among the best of the draft class, and he has a sneaky, accurate shot that he is patient with allowing the play and the goalie to open up. Over the course of the season, he ventured more into the greasy areas of the ice, but that type of area is not a comfortable place for him, as it often is not for a playmaking center. But as he is on the boards, he will work hard for 50-50 pucks, and he often comes away with them to continue the offensive pressure.

— The Draft Analyst (@TheDraftAnalyst) April 20, 2017
As the season progressed, Hischier for much of the time looked too good for the Q, with the play of others on the ice slowing him down. The only limiting factor to the Swiss center playing in the NHL next year is his slight frame, coming in at just 179 pounds. His young frame could be overcome, but likely adding mass to the 190 to 195 range would help Hischier survive the rigors of the professional game. Other than that minor quibble, he is offensively the best player in the draft.
With a junior contract with the NLA's SC Bern through 2018-19, Hischier was on loan to the Mooseheads. As such, he will not be subject to the NHL/CHL transfer agreement, but it could get interesting with the NHL, NLA, AHL and QMJHL all options next year.
NHL Draft Projection
Even if you add in Miro Heiskanen as a wild-card top-three selection, Hischier will be gone in the first three picks. He is a cornerstone player that his new team will be able to build around for the next decade.
"(Hischier) was the best player we've seen in this tournament. We tried all four lines against him, and I thought he was playing every shift because every time he got out there, the ice was tilted. It was the first thing we said when we got into the locker room; 'That's the best player we've seen in the tournament.'" – Team USA head coach Bob Motzko
"It's Nico versus Nolan, the most legitimate draft battle for No. 1 we've seen since Taylor (Hall) versus Tyler (Seguin) in 2010. It is, of course, also a massive victory for alliteration." – Bob McKenzie
Above-average skater
Ability to switch gears, speed the play up or slow it down
Excellent creativity and puck skills
Offensive vision and awareness
Under Construction (Improvements to Make)
As the best player on the ice can try to to do much
Physical maturity
NHL Potential
Hischier projects in the NHL as a playmaking, top-six center. That arrival could come in a few months, as he has a good chance to play in the NHL to at least begin the 2017-18 season.

Neizravni slobodni udarac (indirekt ili indirektan slobodan udarac) je prekršaj koji sudac dosuđuje nakon što se počini neki od navedenih prekršaja:

 Ako vratar kontrolira loptu duže od 6 sekundi u svojim rukama, prije nego što je vrati u igru
 Ako vratar ponovo dodirne loptu rukama, pošto je iz ruku vrati u igru, a da pritom nitko nije igrao loptom
 Ako vratar rukama uhvatiti loptu, pošto mu je namjerno stopalom vratio njegov suigrač
 Ako igrač igra na opasan način
 Ako igrač sprječava kretanje protivnika
 Ako igrač sprječava golmana da vrati loptu u igru
 Ako je prekinuta igra zbog zaleđa
 Ako igrač simulira prekršaj

Kod izvođenja lopta mora mirovati, a igrač koji izvodi udarac ne smije dirnuti loptu dvaput dok je netko ne dodirne ili lopta izađe izvan igre. Prilikom izvođenja udarca protivnički igrači moraju biti udaljeni od lopte najmanje 9,15 metara.

U trenutku dosuđivanja prekršaja koji se kažnjava indirektom, sudac podiže ruku i drži je podignutu tijekom izvođenja indirekta. Sudac spušta ruku tek kad neki igrač igra loptom, ili ako lopta napusti teren.

80 NY and NJ Elected Officials Call Out The Port Authority, Demand $15 for Airport Workers Immediately
Although Governor Andrew Cuomo has announced a $15 minimum wage for fast food workers by 2018, there are thousands of low wage workers at the airports still fighting for a living wage. In fact, airport workers are fighting to receive raises that were already promised to them.
October 1st marked the 1 year anniversary of the Port Authority's self-imposed deadline for a better wage and benefits plan that was supposed to raise 12,000 airport workers in New York and New Jersey out of poverty.
"While the airports generate billions in economic activity and the airlines rake in record profits, workers earn poverty wages, with few meaningful benefits. In fact, while airlines rake in record profits and benefit from large tax incentives, more than 50% of airport workers are forced to rely on public subsidies to survive," reads a letter signed by nearly 80 state senators, assemblymen, mayors and city council members from New York and New Jersey.
The show of support sends a clear message to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey that low wage workers are important not only to the Governor's campaign for $15, but also to elected officials who represent these workers in both states.
As the Port Authority continues to move forward with plans to renovate and modernize the airports, its plans to raise wages for the workers who keep these airports running have been delayed. We cannot claim to have a 21st century airport while workers toil under 19thcentury wages and working conditions and the Port Authority's broken promises mean that airport workers and their families have continued to struggle to survive for the past year.
As the fight for $15 continues to expand in New York, airport workers in the region hope that part of this campaign includes increased pressure on the Port Authority to finally release its long overdue better wage and benefits plan.
The full, open letter from elected officials to the Port Authority can be seen here: https://buildingworkers.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/100115-port-authority-letter.pdf

"During a timeframe when only a handful of journalists even attempted to witness the Cambodian war, Ken Guest traveled further and undertook more jungle treks than any other. The photographs in this book are compiled from trips made with Cambodian guerrillas between 1985-93. They comprise a unique record of a hitherto almost unseen war in a country then isolated from and untouched by the outside world. The book's title evokes Cambodia's geographical and political entrapment between the Tiger, Thailand and the Crocodile, Vietnam. The photographs and the written vignettes which accompany them form a personal interpretation of Cambodia as Ken Guest saw it. These are the Khmers as he found them and knew them; their war as he experienced it."-the publisher.

The Royal Dutch Geographical Society (Dutch:Koninklijk Nederlandsch Aardrijkskundig Genootschap; KNAG) is an organization of geographers and those interested in geography in The Netherlands. It has about 4000 members and sponsors lectures on geography. It publishes a scientific magazine, Tijdschrift voor economische en sociale geografie (Journal of Economic & Social Geography) and  Nederlandse Geografische Studies or NGS (Dutch Geographical Studies). It also has a large collection of about 135,000 maps and 4500 atlases which have been housed at a library at the University of Amsterdam since 1880.

Activities
KNAG currently consists of about 3,300 members. The organization publishes two magazines:
Journal of Economic and Social Geography (English, international scientific journal)
Geography (Professional magazine for Dutch Geographers)

The organization also has an extensive collection of maps (almost 135,000) and atlases (4,500). This collection is preserved since 1880 in the Library of the University of Amsterdam and contains material from the 16th century.

History
The society was founded in 1873 in imitation of similar groups other the major European countries, such as France (1821: Société de Géographie de Paris), England (1830: Royal Geographical Society), Germany (Berlin, 1828, 1836 Frankfurt, Munich, 1869, Bremen 1870 Hamburg, 1873, Leipzig 1861), and Russia (St. Petersburg] 1845). Pieter Johannes Veth was the first chairman of the KNAG. A sister association in Belgium (Antwerp and Brussels) was founded in 1876. At that time the political and economic power of The Netherlands was only a fraction of its historic strength. Dissatisfaction of both merchants and scientists was a key driver to the growth of the society. The attractiveness of finding rich resources in the then largely unexplored outer regions of the colonies was an underlying cause for the development of Dutch Geographical Society, driven by the then-prevailing spirit of imperialism and colonialism. This was generally found to justify expeditions, sometimes with far-reaching consequences for the target population and area.

The society organized several expeditions to Suriname, Borneo (see the expeditions by dr. Anton Willem Nieuwenhuis), islands in the Dutch Indies archipelago, Angola and to visit the indigenous tribes in North America. Most  expeditions consisted of scientists from different disciplines, a photographer and a naval officer. Sometimes a larger military contingent was necessary if the expedition was travelling to a more dangerous area. Colonial territories were largely often no more than a number of administrative posts on the coast, from where trade was operated by tribes from the interior. The interior had hardly been mapped and were often referred to as "white spots".

The members of the organization were not just scientists. The political and commercial elite (bankers, factory owners, ship owners and captains of merchant ships) were members. It had an economic agenda as well as a scientific mission. Expeditions were also conducted on the areas of Boer Dorslandtrekkers in the interior of Angola and the indigenous peoples (then called Indians) of North America. These expeditions were often set up in collaboration with the colonial and colonial business organizations such as the Society for the Promotion of Scientific Research of the Dutch Colonies (MNK) and the Association for Suriname and there were often years of preparation. Usually such an expedition consisted of scientists from different disciplines, a photographer and a naval officer.

If an expedition data had an area could be set both routes for the movement, for example, coal or bauxite, but also regions could be placed under effective political governance, which were previously controlled only nominally.

The military escort increased as more hostilities were found in front of members of the expedition by local indigenous residents.

KNAG Pole Expedition, 1882-1883
Not only the colonies were visited. Then in the second half of the nineteenth century, several European countries found some expeditions to the Arctic sins that the Netherlands could not stay behind. Within the Geographical Society a huge lobby was set to launch a Dutch expedition. During meetings held men Koolemans Beijnen and Marin Jansen speeches, while in the Journal of the Society appeared spirited speeches.[1] Although some disagreements between the organizing committee and the AG were launched last still a national collection, which raised enough money to build a schooner and equip. In 1878 Willem Barents went first northwards, to explore under the leadership of Lieutenant Anthony Hubers Svalbard, Jan Mayen and the west coast of Novaya Zemlya. In 1882, the AG would support another expedition, and that the scientific enterprise within the framework of the International Polar Year, the Dutch polar expedition 1882-83.

1900 - 1960
The intertwining of economic interests concern some scientists in the Netherlands, as it did in other countries, so scientists set up their own organizations. In the Netherlands were the Association for Economic Geography (1909; first magazine for economic geography of the world) and the Geographical Circle (1917; later Geographic Society).

As Dutch colonies became independent, the work of the KNAG focused less and less on economic issues, and became increasingly concerned with scientific questions. The Dutch East Indies became independent in 1949 and Netherlands New Guinea became independent in 1962. The last expedition of the KNAG was the Star Mountains Expedition in 1959 to Dutch New Guinea, where the last unknown area map was brought and the Juliana Summit (now Puncak Mandala) was climbed.

1960s - present
In the 60s turned the tide for all organizations. They became ashamed of their colonial past. The main colonies were independent (Dutch East Indies in 1949, Dutch New Guinea became part of Indonesia in 1962) and the expeditions were stopped. 1967 brought the Association for Economic Geography and Geographic Society in a refreshed KNAG. The economic backdrop was gone and the organization has since focused science in all areas of geography and geography teaching in secondary schools. At the 130th anniversary in 2003 an exhibition at the Tropical Museum and a corresponding publication looked back at the history of the expedition organization. In 2005 gives the society, together with the Dutch Institute for Military History, published the Great Atlas of the Netherlands (1930-1950).

The essential six: we review our pick of the best new cars for 2018
Back to Driving
The new cars you really need to know about, from the slickest sports car to the hottest hatch or the best electric car
The presence of the Kia and Hyundai lends a Korean bent to the performance cars here - check out the other features of our top six new cars
The best sports car
1. ALPINE A110
The French Renault-owned firm Alpine hasn't built a car for over 20 years. But now the company that made its name building small, lightweight sports cars is back.
The A110 might be a retro-inspired version of the 1961 original, but the thinking behind it is bang up to date. On the surface, it's a compact two-seat coupé in the mould of the Porsche Cayman or Audi TT. But underneath, Alpine has made it as light as possible.
Powered by nothing more exotic than a 1.8-litre turbocharged four-cylinder developing 252hp and 221lb ft of torque, it's fast enough to beat a 50hp-more-powerful Cayman to 62mph, and return notably better fuel economy and emissions. That's because, at 1,103kg, it's well over quarter of a tonne lighter than the Porsche.
This is expensive to do – and as a result the Alpine A110 will cost Porsche money when it goes on sale in the UK towards the end of 2018. UK specs haven't been confirmed yet, but Alpine is taking deposits of £2,000 via its app, and you can expect to pay around £45,000.
Because it's light, it drives differently to its rivals, flowing more gently over road surfaces and feeling less aggressive. The only drawback to this is that it does get buffeted by strong crosswinds (and the twin storage areas front and rear are very small), but by any measure this is a crisp, involving, sweet-handling and utterly delightful car to drive. It might not be as well built as a Porsche, but it's not far off, and it's a quieter and more comfortable machine for daily use.
THE SPEC: ALPINE A110
Engine 1.8-litre 4-cyl turbocharged petrol, rear-wheel drive, 7spd twin clutch
Power 252hp
0-62mph 4.5 seconds
Top speed 156mph
Fuel economy 46.3mpg
CO2 emissions 138g/km
Price from c£45,000
The best SUV
2. JAGUAR E-PACE
With its big brother F-Pace cleaning up for the big cat, a smaller offering was an inevitability. The E-Pace is exactly that, giving Jaguar an alternative to the big-selling Audi Q3, Mercedes-Benz GLA, BMW X1 and Range Rover Evoque – it's closely related to the latter.
It's good then, though its focus on handling does mean a sometimes busy ride. Powered by a pair of 2.0-litre Ingenium petrol and diesel engines (the petrol version was launched last year), power ranges from 150hp up to 300hp.
Stick with the 150hp or 180hp diesel, as anything else starts to look expensive. Neatly styled inside and out, it's not quite as polished all round as its established, predictable rivals, but it'll sell well, and deservedly so.
THE SPEC: D180 AWD
Engine 2.0-litre 4-cyl turbodiesel, all-wheel drive, 6spd manual
Price from £28,500-£35,160
The best electric car
3. NISSAN LEAF
Nissan's electric family hatchback, the Leaf, was introduced back in 2011, so it was about time for an all-new version.
There's nothing radical here, the Leaf bringing what all new cars offer: sharper looks, more equipment and greater economy. With the Leaf, that economy equates to range – a full charge, says Nissan, is 235 miles.
The reality is likely to be significantly less than that, particularly in the winter. It drives well, with crisp acceleration, a decent ride and, largely because of the silence of the motor, excellent refinement.
If you have a regular short commute it's arguably perfect. But, as with any electric car, outside clear-cut parameters you are still stymied by those regularly discussed range and charging compromises.
THE SPEC: VISIA
Engine 40 kWh hour battery pack, front-wheel drive, CVT automatic
Top speed 89.5mph
Range 235 miles (NEDC claimed)
CO2 emissions 0g/km
The best saloon car
4. KIA STINGER
A rear-wheel drive sports saloon aiming at the premium players? If ever there was a signal of the brand's ascendancy and confidence then the Kia Stinger is it.
Bold style, fine dynamics and engaging performance make for a very appealing package. It could wear an Alfa Romeo badge. Actually scratch that. It's better than that – and we're not just talking about its warranty.
There are 'sensible' four-cylinder petrol and diesel choices, but it's hard to ignore the range-topping GT S 3.3 T-GDi. This features a sweet 3.3-litre turbocharged six-cylinder engine, 370hp and 4.9 second 0-62mph capability.
If you can't quite stretch to that, you'll not find the 2.0-litre turbo petrol or 2.2-litre turbodiesel lacking, either.
THE SPEC: GT S 3.3 T-GDI
Engine 3.3-litre, 6-cyl, turbocharged petrol, rear-wheel drive, 8spd automatic
The best hot hatch
5. HYUNDAI i30N
There's a Korean bent to the performance cars here, what with that Kia Stinger, and now this Hyundai i30N. That's N for Nürburgring, if you didn't already know, signalling Hyundai's performance brand.
The i30N, then, knocks the regular i30's pensionable flat cap off, replacing it with a racing helmet, and convincingly.
It's hilariously good fun, with a sparkling chassis, a punchy 275hp 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, and overt visuals that underline its performance. There's rather a lot going on inside, Hyundai offering far too much drive configurability, but find the setting that suits you and the i30N absolutely flies.
All that and it comes in at a good bit less than a Golf GTi. Impressive stuff.
THE SPEC: PERFORMANCE
Engine 2.0-litre, 4-cyl turbocharged petrol
front-wheel drive, 6spd manual
The best supermini
6. VW POLO
The new Volkswagen Polo was never going to be anything other than impressive – after all, VW's rivals Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa are never anything but.
Predictable then, yes, and no worse for it. There's a smart new interior, slightly different looks outside and more performance, economy and space. Oh, and plentiful choice too – right up to GTI.
Some interior colour options, like some of the trim levels, can be a little try hard – we're not sure about the relevance of the Beats model to most buyers. A fine supermini regardless, with all the connectivity, some advanced safety kit and plenty of comfort and refinement, too.
The 1.0 TSI 95hp petrol is a sweet spot, in price and to drive.
THE SPEC: SE 1.0 TSI
Engine 1.0-litre, 3-cyl turbocharged petrol,
Power 95hp
0-62mph 10.8 seconds

It was a marvelous May for the Manhattan luxury real estate market.
It was a record-setting May in Manhattan. The Olshan Luxury Market Report, produced by Olshan Realty, says that 157 contracts were signed for properties at $4 million or above during the month, the most for a single month in the 10 years Olshan has been tracking the statistic. The total contract volume for May was also a record at $1.16 billion. Read the full report. [Olshan Luxury Market Report] Records were also set in Sydney, where May proved to be the strongest-ever month of property auctions for the city. When the final results are tallied Wednesday, Sydney's strong month may beat the nation's highest clearance rate of 86% set in Melbourne in 2001. [Domain] A new report from property data analytics provider CoreLogic finds that low inventories and growing sales combined to push U.S. home prices higher, bringing the year-on-year gain to 6.8%. [MarketWatch] According to data released by the county's property appraiser, home values in Miami and Miami Beach have risen 11.3% and 12% respectively since 2014, a double-digit growth that is driven by new construction. [The Real Deal] After yesterday's announcement by Treasury secretary John Fraser that Sydney was "unequivocally" experiencing a housing bubble, Australian investors should expect that tougher regulations, aimed at mitigating the bubble's eventual burst, are on the way. [Australian Financial Review] According to a report, Dubai is seeing a drop in luxury real estate prices in response to declining demand, a strengthening U.S. dollar and a weakening oil market. [Gulf News] Simon Henry, co-CEO of Juwai.com, a real estate portal for Chinese investors looking abroad, discusses the demand from Chinese buyers for foreign, and particularly Australian, property. [Bloomberg] Luxury has arrived on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Apartments and condo units in the neighborhood are now routinely listing, and selling, above the coveted $2,000-per-square-foot mark, with a number of new luxury developments still in the works. [The Lo-Down] Look out for Lovely Banks. This hidden gem, located in the hills above Geelong, Australia, has seen property values rise as much as $1 million Australian dollars (US$768,305) in the span of a decade.

TRN Group was formed in 1966, with just two trucks. At that time, the business hauled road-building materials. Within a short time, the company won a ten-year contract with a local earthmoving company.
In the 1970s, TRN Group bought three local cartage contractors, and became one of the area's largest coal-hauling sub-contractors. The company expanded its fleet, to include a scraper, a dozer, a loader and a traxcavator.
In 1989 TRN Group and two other companies formed Bulkhaul Limited, and won the contract for the cartage rights for coal in the Burragorang Valley. Bulkhaul Limited later became Heggies Bulkhaul Pty Ltd.
In 2000, having outgrown its original Camden location, TRN Group moved to larger premises at Glenlee.
The TRN Group, a civil engineering and haulage company, specialises in equipment hire, earthmoving, quarrying and haulage. Proudly family-owned and operated for over forty years, the company is located at Glenlee, near Narellan in NSW.
The company has a long tradition of personalised service and maintains a large fleet of high-specification vehicles. The fleet is made up of over 165 items of earthmoving equipment.

I am having trouble using the nomination website. Who can I ask for help?

How do I log into the Fellows nomination website? How can I retrieve my SIAM username and password?
You can log into the Fellows nomination website using your SIAM username and password. If you have lost this information, you can retrieve your username and password at the SIAM eBusiness website using your SIAM member number or the email address that is in your SIAM membership record. You will receive your username and password within seconds at this email address. If you change your username, you may need to contact the Fellows Team at in order to continue with your nomination.
Why can't I find the SIAM member I am looking for on the Fellows nomination website?
Search using only the last name or only the first name. Searching for the full name (both first and last name) will return no results. If you cannot find the person you wish to nominate, check the eligibility criteria. If you believe your nominee meets all eligibility criteria, please contact the Fellows Team.
Exactly how long must an individual have been a member of SIAM in order to be eligible to be nominated as a SIAM Fellow?
An individual must have been a member of SIAM for at least seven of the past 10 years, i.e., 84 of the past 120 months (not necessarily consecutive) before a nomination may be initiated.
Is there any guidance about the information to be contained in the letters of recommendation?
Learn more about Fellows selection criteria and for advice about writing letters of nomination and letters of recommendation.
In the case of a letter of recommendation writer who is not a nominator, should the letter be sent to a nominator for submission, or should it be sent directly to SIAM?
The letters of recommendation may either be sent to one of the three nominators or sent directly to the Fellows Team for uploading to the Fellows website. Letters uploaded by a nominator can only be viewed by that nominator. Letters uploaded by SIAM administration cannot be viewed by any of the nominators.

My nominee wasn't selected this year. What will happen to the nomination materials?

What happens if two separate nomination packages are submitted for the same nominee?
