Performance for the Streets
For decades Suzuki has been building class leading performance based Supersport bikes with our GSX-R range, and muscular aggressive street bikes. In recent years we've combined these skills and experience to create the GSX-S line, a range of bikes with Supersport derived engines and performance, but harnessed in aggressive naked street bikes for a stripped back look and street focused performance. It began with the GSX-S1000 in 2015, then came the GSX-S750 and now an all new start point for the GSX-S family comes the stunning GSX-S125.
New GSX-S Engine
The power plant for the new GSX-S125 is a single cylinder, liquid cooled, DOHC (Double Over Head Cam) with 125cc. It powers the GSX-S to great performance on the streets and a lot more besides. The engineers behind the GSX-S series have been perfecting engines for over 30 years, and this is their latest masterpiece. In the 125cc class the GSX-S125 has the best power to weight ratio, the best torque to weight ratio and the best acceleration. So the rider can enjoy the most fun and excitement, every corner, every straight and every ride. This level of performance is well known for a GSX-R and now a GSX-S too, but beyond the power and acceleration there is even more, this engine is also extremely fuel efficient as well, so you can travel further on each tank of fuel before its time to re-fill.
The Science of Engine Design
There is a science to building high-performance engines, and the GSX-S125's DOHC engine is a perfect example of how to make a lot of power out of a very efficient and compact power plant. The objective is combustion efficiency, optimal balance of the sporty engine character and fuel economy. There is a connection between the GSX-S125 and the race proven four cylinder GSX-R600 sold around the world, because the GSX-S125's single cylinder is almost one quarter of a GSX-R600. Although Suzuki engineers experimented with different bore and stroke figures to find the most efficient combination for the GSX-S125, the two engines both use an over-square design, with a larger bore and a shorter stroke, and have a similar bore x stroke ratio. The GSX-S125 engine displaces an actual 125cc from a 62mm cylinder bore and a 41.2mm piston stroke. The larger bore makes room for two 24mm intake valves and two 21mm exhaust valves, set upright at narrow angles to improve the shape of the combustion chamber, increasing the compression ratio, performance and fuel economy. The cylinder bore is plated with Suzuki's own race-proven nickel-phosphorus-silicon-carbide bore coating known as SCEM (Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material). An aluminium cylinder plated with SCEM weighs much less than an aluminium cylinder fitted with a conventional, pressed-in cast-iron liner, while also reducing friction and improving durability, ring seal, heat transfer and the engine's ability to maintain consistent high-power output.
Efficient Liquid Cooling
An effective liquid-cooling system with a large radiator helps keep the engine at the optimum temperature, producing consistent performance and maximising fuel efficiency and mileage. The engine makes its high horsepower and reaches its generous torque, delivering strong, effective power across a broad rpm range. And the GSX-S125 comes with a smooth-shifting 6-speed transmission and an electric starter.
Advanced Electronic Fuel Injection
The GSX-S125 features advanced electronic fuel injection, which delivers fuel based on what the rider is doing with the twist-grip throttle as well as input from sensors monitoring engine rpm, intake air pressure and temperature, exhaust oxygen content and coolant temperature. To improve intake efficiency, throttle response, and engine power throughout the rpm range, the GSX-S125 has a 32mm throttle body. A dual-spray, four-hole injector aims the spray from two holes directly at the intake valves. Ample intake air is supplied by a large-capacity airbox and efficient filter. The accurate electronic fuel injection system contributes to the GSX-S125's outstanding fuel efficiency.
All New Chassis
The chassis design of the GSX-S125 is light and compact, giving the rider ultimate control on the streets for a fast and agile ride. For a street bike low weight is key, this helps deliver a bike with responsive and rewarding handling as well as added confidence on the street. The Engineers behind the GSX-S125 have created the lightest bike in the 125cc class, giving the rider the edge over the competition. As well as being the lightest machine in class the GSX-S125 also has the lowest seat height too, making an unbeatable combination for accessibility for all types of rider, while still maintaining an aggressive street look with easy riding position. The low seat height means most riders will be able place both feet securely on the floor for added confidence, while the light weight makes the bike easy to manage both on the move and for slow speed manoeuvers.
Light Aluminium Wheels
Contributing to the bikes low weight are the 10 spoke cast aluminium wheels. Having light weight wheels helps ensure great handling, for a ride that's fun and a machine that goes exactly where you want it to. The slim design of the spokes also adds to this GSX-S's aggressive street looks, along with the sporty petal type brake discs front and rear.
Modern Backbone Frame
The GSX-S125's confidence-inspiring stability, nimble handling in turns comes in part from its steel-tube backbone frame, which combines optimal torsional rigidity with light weight. This helps the GSX-S's impressive chassis specification of; compact 1300mm wheelbase, 133 kg ready to ride kerb weight, and a low seat height of just 785mm.
Lightweight ABS
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) is the latest Bosch ABS 10 base unit, which is the lightest and most compact two-channel ABS system on the market. The pro-active system monitors wheel speed and immediately intervenes when imminent wheel lock is detected-before actual lock-up. The compact ABS system as installed on the GSX-S125 weighs just 0.59 kilograms. *The sporty-looking petal-design 290mm front disc works with a dual-piston caliper and the 187mm petal-design rear disc works with a single-piston caliper, both delivering excellent braking performance.
*ABS is not designed to shorten the braking distance. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please drive carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.
Suzuki Easy Start System and Shutter-Key Lock
The GSX-S125 features a convenient easy start ignition system with a shutter-key lock system. The key fob carries a unique, random magnetic code pattern which opens the shutter when the fob is lined up and pushed into a receiver on the ignition lock cover, and the ignition key can then be inserted into the lock and the ignition turned on. Once the key is inserted into the shutter-key ignition lock and turned to the running position, the system automatically starts the engine with one touch of a button mounted on the handlebar; there is no need to hold the starter button down until the engine fires. The shutter can be easily closed by pushing a button once the ignition is turned off and the key has been removed.
Styled for the Streets
The GSX-S125 has exciting, aggressive style that transforms it into a rolling work of motorcycle art. It starts at the front with a modern headlight cowl and instrument module, and continues with a sculpted fuel tank and extended upper side cowlings, plus a lower engine cowling. The tail section and side panels extend forward and reach underneath the fuel tank, unifying the design. And frame covers add distinction and substance to the overall look. The sleek, compact bodywork pieces not only look great, they are also lighter than the bodywork used by competitors, and make it easier for the rider to manoeuvre through traffic jams.
The GSX-S125 features vertically stacked LED headlights, with the low beam above the high beam, and position lights on each side of the headlight. The GSX-S125's LED headlights are bright and compact, lighter and longer lasting compared to conventional halogen-bulb headlights seen on competing machines. Because LED headlights use about 15% of the electrical power required by conventional bulbs, less engine power is needed to run the motorcycle's alternator, improving acceleration and fuel economy. The LED license plate light on the rear fender is light and compact and much more durable and vibration resistant than the conventional bulb lights installed on competing 125cc machines.
LCD Instruments
The Suzuki GSX-S125 has a full LCD instrument panel set in a modern dashboard, framed by turn signal, neutral, hi-beam, coolant temperature, malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), ABS, and programmable engine-RPM indicator lights. The bright LCD panel includes a segmented-bar tachometer across the top; a digital speedometer; a gear position indicator; a digital clock; a digital odometer with dual trip meters; an average fuel consumption meter; a fuel gauge; and an oil change timing indicator.

Christmas cards, calendars, magazine covers, advertisements... The image of this barn precedes its name. The William Thomas Turner barn image has been featured in countless publications, including a nationally distributed 1920's trade catalog. Resting peacefully among the gently rolling hills of southwest Johnson County, the Turner barn stands as a recognized, yet unknown, Johnson County Landmark. Built in 1898, and still owned by the Turner family, the barn is now 120 years old. It is a rare and exceptional barn in both Johnson County and United States for its design, craftsmanship, and longevity.
Tom Turner purchased the property on which the barn now stands in 1891 from a land auction in nearby Lecompton, Kansas. The farm was originally part of a land grant to a veteran of the War of 1812. It was a common practice to compensate veterans for their patriotism with gifts of land in the western frontier. Many veterans or their widows then immediately sold their land in exchange for cash value. This property was purchased in 1860 by G.M Waugh, who farmed the land until the Turners purchased it in 1891.
In 1898 Arthur J. Clinton, a prominent barn builder in the Midwest, was hired to supervise the Turner barn construction. His trademark white, double diamond design was incorporated into the doors of the barn. Historically, a man's success within a community was gauged by the quality of his home. Conversely, in rural areas, the financial success of a farmer was measured by the quality of his farm buildings, crops and animals. The Turner barn represents the highest of quality for such a building. The barn is 40 fee wide, 62 feet long, and 45 feet tall (from the summit). and is constructed of Louisiana Red Cypress. Cypress, an expensive wood, is exceptional for its longevity and durability.
The two-level barn was designed to give space for livestock and equipment on the foundation level and grain and hay in the second story. The windows and louvered cupolas provided ample ventilation to help dry the loose hay stored in the loft. The barn was used continuously until the early 1990s.

All businesses aim at the consumers. The consumers' attitude and belief towards the product determines its success or failure. It is widely known that most Nigerians prefer foreign made products. This upsurge in the purchasing of foreign products by the consumers against their locally produced ones in Nigeria has a very serious implication on the economy….
Recent developments in Nigeria show that many companies in major commercial cities in Nigeria have been shut down due to dwindling sales as a result of buyers' preference for foreign made similar products as against local brands…..
…If consumers decide to buy at least reasonable quantity of the locally produced goods, all these will be minimized, the economy will grow and more wealth will be created for capital project, infrastructural facilities, and job creation, etc. As our society undergoes rapid changes and becomes more affluent, newer social forces make consumers spend a greater part of their income in ways remarkably different from what took place in the past. Consumers want the advantage of the affluent and latest services that technology and business can offer (Ogunnaike, 2010 quoting Achumba, 1996).
Also, failure of marketing activities have been caused by ignorance and underestimation of consumer motivation, perception and behavior in the market place. In the past, manufacturers have had a wrong view that consumers accept or buy anything they are being offered in the market particularly in this part of the world. This assumption has led to gross marketing failure of many manufacturing organizations. The consumer is a personality whose behaviour is governed by different and varied influences such as: society, beliefs, attitude, past learning, experience, perception and expectations. These form his taste, choice and product preference. According to Kotler and Armstrong (2007), consumers decision making process involve need recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, purchase decision and post-purchase behaviour. Businesses these days research into the buying decisions of consumers in great details to know why they buy a particular product, how much they buy, when and from whom they buy the products.
However, to make local footwears more attractive, the factors influencing the consumers' choices and decisions for buying foreign footwears need to be investigated. These factors include: product quality, price, distribution channel, advertisement, brand and inferior complex also referred to as "Oyibo mentality". These factors were confirmed by Kotler and Armstrong (2001) when they maintained that marketing stimuli are associated with the traditional four P's (i.e. product, price, place and promotion). This attitude is a source of concern to both the economic planners and local manufacturers. This is because inadequate demand for home made products has adverse consequences on the pace of country industrialization efforts and Gross National Product (GNP).
Nigerians have continued to spend huge amount of money on the importation of foot-wears that could be sourced locally if efforts are made to patronize made-in- Nigeria products. This has resulted in the continued low capacity utilization and low production in Nigeria-based shoe manufacturing companies, resulting in high unemployment figures in the country. However, the general notion among some Nigerian consumers is that locally made shoes are inferior to imported and foreign made shoes in terms of quality and performance to the extent that, some local manufacturers have resorted, to claiming a foreign origin for their products in a bid to remain relevant.
There is therefore, need to examine those factors that influence and affect consumers' choices and buying decisions with a view to uncovering reasons behind Nigerian consumers' seeming preference for foreign shoes over locally manufactured shoes.
Establish whether there is a significant difference between consumers' perception and preference of local and foreign footwears in Enugu metropolis.
Find out whether quality is a significant determinant of brand choice between home and foreign footwears.
Prove whether product image is a significant determinant of brand choice between home and foreign footwears.
Ascertain whether price is a significant determinant of brand choice between home and foreign footwears.
Is there a significant difference between consumers' perception and preference of local and foreign footwears in Enugu metropolis?
Is quality a significant determinant of brand choice between home and foreign footwears?
Is product image a significant determinant of brand choice between home and foreign footwears?
Is price a significant determinant of brand choice between home and foreign footwears?
pattern between home-made and foreign footwears.
H0: Quality is not a significant determinant of brand choice between home -made and foreign footwears.
H0: Product image is not a significant determinant of brand choice between home-made and foreign footwears.
H0: Price is not a significant determinant of brand choice between home-made and foreign footwears.
It will equip competing firms with enough facts as regards factors influencing the consumers' choice of purchasing footwears.
Through these findings, manufacturers of footwear products may be able to determine better ways of improving their product performance so as to have positive influence on consumer purchase decision.
There are many agents and dealers in the marketing of footwears within Nigeria. But, the research work is purely restricted to Enugu state from where necessary data is collected and analyzed in order to come up with accurate findings and report. More so, the research scope is limited to Enugu metropolis.
Lack of cooperation: The researcher also faced the problem of lack of cooperation because some respondents were biased and others did not want to provide correct information due to aggressiveness and suspicion, hence, causing lack of adequate information to facilitate secondary data.
Others which include delay in response, lack of response to questions by some respondents and provision of incomplete information.
Despite all these challenges the researcher was able to overcome these limitations by constant and sustained appeal to the respondents which later yielded a desired result for the study.

Electric costs can put a damper on any household's budget. Current energy costs aren't helping in the difficulties of the recession, which makes the financial end of saving energy even more pressing. Luckily, there are plenty of simple ways to cut down the electric bill, which the following will just begin to cover.
Lighting is one of the easiest ways to undermine the electric bill. By switching a light bulb or replacing a fixture, you can realize immediate savings.
Remember this term: compact fluorescent light bulbs. Well, to be precise, you only need to know the acronym CFLs❠when you take one of the simplest steps to improving the lighting in your home. These light bulbs are high-quality and high-efficient alternatives to standard (incandescent) bulbs.
CFLs will last 6 to 12 times longer than your average light bulbs. Additionally, and according to Energy Savers (from the U.S. Department of Energy), they will save you at least $30 over the lifetime of each bulb. They have a 10-year lifespan, approximately.
LED's (light emitting diodes) are even more energy-efficient: they last 25 times as long as ordinary light bulbs and use less energy than CFLs.
What does this mean? Certainly you can begin to integrate CFLs in your home, but that isn't all. You could consider changing light fixtures â" inside and outside of your home â" that use CFL and LED light sources. They can have a profound effect on the electric bill. Combine them with timers, dimmers, and motion-activated controls and you will be on your way to greater savings!
According to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, standby power for appliances that aren't in use accounts for 5% to 10% of residential electricity use. What do you have plugged into your outlets at this very moment?
A perfect example of this is found in computers. Many desktops use standby power, and you are probably aware of that green (well, maybe it's green) light on your laptop's adaptor that is on regardless of whether it's charging your device. Also applicable to many other electronics and appliances, you are paying for the electricity.
While turning these items off is a good start, you can consider smart power strips. These outlets will automate the process for you, so that you aren't paying for the DVD player that is using standby power. After all, you surely don't want to unplug everything by hand that uses this â" that would take quite some time in many households.
Quick: what should you look for when you buy appliances, electronics, and a number of other items?
If you aren't aware of the Energy Star label, you should be. These confirmed products are labeled when they are energy efficient, which means that you'll save over the long term. For instance, some office equipment â" like desktops and notebooks â" can offer at much as 90% savings in relationship to energy consumption. Commonly, they use half the energy of standard equipment, which can translate to big things for your electric bill. It is true that replacing all your old appliances with new ones is very expensive but if you start a renewal program bit by bit in some years' time you will eventually have modern, energy saving equipment.
The U.S. Department of Energy has compiled a booklet, with advice on saving energy. In addition, the DOE offers support for low-income persons to make green home improvements through weatherization, which can reduce your electric bill.
Have you weatherized your home? In what way do you try to save money on your electricity bill? Share them with us!


It's Kouign Amann Day At B. Patisserie Saturday!
The kouign amann (pronounced queen ah-mon) is finally getting the national day of recognition it so strongly deserves. These crispy croissant cupcake pastries were invented in Brittany during a flour shortage and a butter surplus. It's a piece of history you can taste! And now they've got a spot on the calendar, or on an Internet calendar website at least.
That's thanks to San Francisco's Belinda Leong of b. patisserie, whose iterpretation of the pasty has landed spots on not one, but two lists of "Things To Eat In SF Before You Die" (7x7 and Thrillist).
The completely made-up but nonetheless delicious stunt was approved by the National Day Calendar. For an example of that site's fine work, note that today is National Martini Day.
To celebrate the new holiday, b. patisserie will be pulling 12 different kinds of kouign amman from the oven. The patisserie traditionally fills them with sugar, which caramelizes around the pastry, or else chocolate or other seasonal items like pumpkin.
But for one day only they'll run the gamut with "Lemon Lime, Maple Bacon, Black Sesame, Vanilla Bean, Peanut Butter and Jelly, Cinnamon Sugar, Pistachio Strawberry, Chocolate Hazelnut, Speculoos (!!!), Coffee, and Tradition Breton." Also! Kouign amann filled with ice cream will be making an appearance in the afternoon. And last, kouignettes, which I'm just guessing are mini kouign amann, will round out the offerings.10% of proceeds from all sales will go to the charity Family House.
The Lower Pac Heights pastry oasis, often quite crowded, stands to be all the more so tomorrow. But soon enough we'll have B. On the Go, a b. patisserie lunch spin-off to look forward to!

NEW DELHI: Despite India emerging as a favourite destination for Foreign Direct Investment, inflows into the country may see a dip this fiscal as compared to last year, according to global consultancy firm A T Kearney.
A T Kearney Inc Managing Director (US) Paul A Laudicina told UNI that many factors, including domestic, would be responsible for the decline from last year's $ 3.4 billion.
''Globally too FDI flows are expected to be flat at last fiscal's $ 651 billion level mainly because of excessive caution on the part of investors.
''After the September 11 attacks on the US, nearly one third of global investors view security concerns and terrorism among the most critical risks to their firms as well as operations,'' Laudicina said.
To drive his point, he pointed out to the inflows this year.
''In the first quarter of this fiscal, only $ 350 million came in as FDI against $ 1.65 billion in the same period last year.
''Though FDI picked up in July and touched $ 180 million as compared to $ 150 million in July '02, but overall I think the bad start is going to weigh heavily on the total inflows in FY 04,'' he said.
In its FDI Confidence Index for 2003, A T Kearney had raised India's position by nine points to number six. ''However, this elevation does not mean that inflows would be increasing immediately as the corporates we surveyed said they would making these investments over the next three years.
''The slowdown we are witnessing now are also because of decisions on investment taken about two years back when India was low down the priority list of foreign investors,'' Laudicina said.
On the domestic front, he listed difficult bureaucracy and slowdown of reforms among the top two problems impeding FDI growth.
''Also, poor infrastructure was one of the reasons listed by corporates for shying away from making investments in India,'' he said.


I found this article and some similar ones, in a 1934 issue of Ladies Home Companion. (Enlarge the page to read the text if you can't do so. It's interesting!) Thermostats on gas and electric ranges were still relatively new and many cooks resisted using them.
When my mother moved to Georgia in the 1930s, her mother-in-law (my grandmother, who I don't remember but who, by all accounts, I would not have liked) had a two-burner propane gas range with a small oven. It was used for storing pans because she was convinced it wasn't good for cooking, certainly not baking. Not when she could much more easily adjust the amount of coal in the tray under the coal oven.
What technology at work still requires you to call for help every few minutes?
For many people there is a tendency to resist learning anything that requires very much mental effort (I'm that way!) And, there is often resistance to trying to learn a process that is taught in a manner that is more confusing and demeaning than it is helpful. But, if there is equipment, technology or processes at work that all employees are expected to use regularly, commit to learning to do that part of your job effectively and efficiently.
Great use of the old article. I found a newspaper clipping about microwaves, from 1970, that gave a whole bunch of warnings about them. I'm surprised anyone ever got up the courage to buy one! Also, regarding use of technology,we had such abuse of the services of admin people to start computers, download files, etc. etc. that for awhile all requests had to go through the supervisor. We said what you said, learn to use the tools of your job. Thanks and I enjoy your website.
I like the manager I work for but I get tired of jumping up a dozen times a day to help her with her computer. She has used a computer longer than I have but she still can't do even the basics and she won't try to learn. She once waited to copy and paste into a letter until I came back from being sick and could do it for her!! The worst part is that I offered to teach her and she said she'd rather just yell for me. There is nothing I can do about it, but it's a bit much sometimes!
If I can learn to use a computer anyone can. I even teach some of the newer employees!
Mean-spirited epithets are the arguments of malice.

As I was preparing for our Christmas party last night, my three-year-old son walked out of my closet with one of my bras wrapped around his chest. He said, "Look, Mommy! I have oboe's! " Where in the world, do kids come up with this stuff!?!?
It is finally hitting me; I will probably never get to play musical theatre again, what with the death of AMTSJ. Sigh. Musical theatre is always great fun for me. It's sort of like being on vacation, because I find the stress so miniscule, if it exists at all.
Music makes it possible for all the Israeli members of the orchestra to support an Egyptian oboist's solo, and for all the Arab members of the orchestra to support an Israeli flautist's solo, because music engenders a true and effortless spirit of creativity and brotherhood.
"I had a nice rehearsal with the orchestra last night. For me, it's a great pleasure to work with them," he says. "Obviously, they enjoy the music. They enjoy the work, and they're excited to be there.
Phantom Robot … or Robot Phantom? Or something.
Hmmm. The two leads in Sir ALW's Phantom of the Opera will be played by robots.
I read it here and here.

Does Caroline Manzo Think Jacqueline Laurita and Teresa Giudice Can Be Friends?
"I think this is the season where Jacqueline finally speaks her truth," the #Manzod mom said.
Jacqueline Will Speak When Spoken To
Caroline Manzo may no longer be a part of The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast, but she told The Daily Dish earlier this month that she still watches the show "in spurts." The Manzo'd with Children matriarch said that part of the reason why she still keeps up with RHONJ is to support her sister-in-law Jacqueline Laurita, who made her triumphant return to the show after briefly appearing on it last season.
Though it may be difficult for some to understand Jacqueline's complex feelings about her on-again, off-again, and now on-again friend Teresa Giudice, Caroline said she knows where she's coming from. "Jacqueline's not crazy; Jacqueline tells it like it is, you know what I mean? And the problem with Jacqueline is when you're her friend and you turn on her, she's gonna be very hurt, and she's gonna try every which way to make it right. And if you don't want to make it right, then run. Run as far as you can, because you know why? Then she's hurt," Caroline told The Daily Dish regarding Jacqueline's involvement in drama once again this season of RHONJ. "So I get where she's coming from 1,000 percent. And she's got a lot of bottled up emotions as well. And I think this is the season where Jacqueline finally speaks her truth. And sometimes, the truth is not popular. So I don't blame her. I don't blame her. I get it."
Who Am I Blaming It On?
At the time of The Daily Dish's interview with Caroline, she said she had not seen Jacqueline's major blow-up where she called Teresa out for "filing a fraudulent bankruptcy" earlier this season, which came shortly after the pair decided to rekindle their friendship. However, Mama Manzo did hear about the incident, and she was not surprised that Jacqueline and Teresa's truce didn't last. "A million percent expected," she said. "So if I could have written it beforehand, I probably would've because I know the personalities. And some things are just not gonna work, and this is one of those things that's just not gonna work because people are who they are, and that's the end of the story."
But when asked if she thought Jacqueline and Teresa would ever be able to be friends again, Caroline took a long pause before saying, "Never say never." "Jacqueline really, truly loved Teresa. She did. And she feels betrayed and she feels hurt and all those things," Caroline explained. "Sometimes, Jacqueline's delivery is wrong — we've said that a million times — but she's got a very, very good heart. And when she feels betrayed and hurt and used, she's gonna come after you. And I think that's what she did. You want somebody on your side to fight with you? You want Jacqueline. But then you don't want her as your enemy."
After the latest episode of RHONJ, it looks like Jacqueline and Teresa are back to being friends, not enemies. But will it last? Watch next week's new episode of RHONJ at a special time on Monday, September 5 at 10/9c to find out.
Next on RHONJ: Drama, Drama, Drama
Do Caroline Manzo and Teresa Giudice Still Talk?
Happy Birthday to the Jacqueline and Caroline's Sons!

Manufactured by the Port Huron Engine & Thresher Company in Port Huron, MI, this 22,000 pound behemoth still runs, drives and powers antique farm implements to this day. We show the engine at the Badger Steam & Gas Engine Club annual Steam Show every year in August.


Conor and Sarah's wedding was an art deco affair, a decadent 1920's deco inspired wedding with plenty of glitz and glamour.
When it came to Sarah and Conor's wedding it was always going to be a stylish affair with Sarah being chief stylist with the Irish Tatler and fashion maven. They created a decadent 1920's deco inspired wedding with plenty of glitz and glamour.
Sarah's dress was from designer Sanyukta Shrestha. Sarah had wanted to create a style that encompassed Daisy Buchanan meets Lady Mary (of Downton Abbey) style, but with a very modern twist. The bridesmaids wore stunning gold sequin wrap gowns by Diane Von Furstenberg, all adding to the glamorous feel of the day.
After the couple exchanged their vows at Unitarian Church on St. Stephen's Green in the heart of Dublin, they walked through the city's winding streets to the eatery Fallon & Byrne on Exchequer St.

Export Performance、International Business、International Business
Export business is very necessary and potential extremely in Viet Nam. As known, Viet Nam is one of the top countries in the world that export pepper and café, rubber, etc. Beside, it also has position of strength about exporting of garment and many other industries. Businessmen have been and will put into their pockets billions of dollars due to this operation. It can be said that a huge currency flow will be blown into a nation if its business is successful. However, Vietnamese export business has met some problems in some years recently. There are many medium-small enterprises fail to export their goods, complaints from importers, or not able to produce in time for shipment, etc. These issues inhibit international business process very much. One question here is that where's the reason, because of organizations' management, product quality, or surrounding conditions?
So, export performance is very essential to be studied. There are many previous researchers invested in export business with respect to many different aspects. Based on the prior works, combined with practical knowledge and accumulated experiences, the thesis "Build a Successful Exporting Theoretical Model for Vietnamese Companies by Using Structural Equation Model" is done. The framework is designed in order to figure out determinants related to export performance success. Since then, a model for Vietnamese exporting companies is built, which is based on studied process.
The data is collected from 120 exporting companies in Viet Nam. Data analysis is operated by Lisrel 8.7 software. The findings of research support seven hypotheses. One hypothesis has opposite sign as expected. There are positive relationships between export performance successes and management-related attributes, export quality, information technology, and external environment. Beside, there are also positive relationships between the role of information technology; external environment and management-related attributes, export quality. However, the study has some limitations. Finally, discussion and tendency for future researches are discussed.

Ethicists advocate for the acceptance of incest
Posted on July 24, 2018 by Jonathon Van Maren
Some of you reading this may remember a time when the word "ethics" was a meaningful term and "ethicists" were people who sought to discover and define right and wrong. In these modern times, however, our society lurches back and forth with breakneck speed from moral relativism to progressive totalitarianism—everything is moral, except for telling someone that their behavior is immoral. In this post-modern society, the task of ethicists is now to find ways to justify nearly everything. They are explorers without compasses or maps—because we no longer have any objective authority on what is right or wrong in the first place, ethicists must instead attempt to soothe the guilt of the masses by assuring them that everything they wish to do is "ethical."
There are a few examples you will probably be familiar with. Peter Singer of Princeton is a so-called expert in bio-ethics who promotes infanticide as a moral way of dispensing with unwanted babies. The Journal of Medical Ethics featured an article advocating for the same thing back in 2012 with the charming title, "After-birth abortion: Why should the baby live?" Ethicists have also been called upon recently to justify euthanasia, assisted suicide, and other forms of "mercy killing." Many seem happy to oblige, and cheerfully offer up evidence that the Judeo-Christian principles that formed the foundation of Western Civilization are hopelessly outdated. Killing the innocent used to be "unethical," but it turns out we were wrong about that. More such discoveries are sure to follow.
And as ethicists discover that nothing is really wrong, things are getting weirder. Armin Navabi, the founder of Atheist Republic and the author of Why There Is No God as well as a co-host of the Secular Jihadist, tweeted yesterday that there are a few moral barriers in our society (now liberated from the belief in God and thus any concept of objective morality) that must fall. "There is nothing wrong with incest if it can be guaranteed that it doesn't result in procreation," he wrote. "This means that homosexual incest among consenting adults is okay and attempts to separate two sisters or two brothers who are attracted to each other are unethical."
As shocking as that sounds, this isn't the first time this has cropped up. In 2014 an Australian judge noted that pedophilia and incest might no longer be considered "taboo," and noted that if a brother and sister should conceive, they could simply abort the baby. The same year, the National Ethics Council of Germany voted two-to-one to call for the decriminalization of incest, explaining that, "Criminal law is not the appropriate means to preserve a social taboo. The fundamental right of adult siblings to sexual self-determination is to be weighed more heavily than the abstract idea of protection of the family." Fortunately, Chancellor Angela Merkel ignored the advice of her ethicist luminaries.
And so it goes. Nothing is wrong anymore, and so everything must be right. The field of ethics has been, in many cases, reduced to a snarl of confusion as scholars attempt to justify the proclivities of a sex-crazy culture and the extermination of any hapless offspring that come into existence as the result of casual coitus. Infanticide, euthanasia, suicide, incest—more is sure to come. There are no brakes on this train, and I strongly suspect that we will not be happy with where it takes us.
For anyone interested, my book on The Culture War, which analyzes the journey our culture has taken from the way it was to the way it is and examines the Sexual Revolution, hook-up culture, the rise of the porn plague, abortion, commodity culture, euthanasia, and the gay rights movement, is available for sale here.

Washington Post reporting continues to present the Council on American Islamic Relations to readers as a credible news source. This despite evidence provided to editors and reporters indicating CAIR is an Islamic extremist organization.
The most recent occasion for this recurring journalistic malpractice was the March 10 hearing on "The Extent of Radicalization in the American Muslim Community and that Community's Response," called by U.S. House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rep. Peter T. King (R-N.Y.). Facts about CAIR indicate that it is not — contrary to much Post and other major news media coverage — an American Muslim version of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People or the Anti-Defamation League.
Nevertheless, The Post's March 11 "The Fact Checker: The Truth Behind The Rhetoric" feature continued the whitewash of CAIR. Reporter Glenn Kessler, purporting to scrutinize allegations about CAIR raised during the Homeland Security Committee's hearing the day before, said they "lack context." Factually, lack of context was The Post's doing.
Kessler told readers that CAIR "is an aggressive Muslim civil liberties organization, modeled on the Anti-Defamation League …." Aggressive, yes. Civil liberties, no.
Milbank wrote that "Cravaack informed Baca that CAIR was founded by two people identified by the FBI as 'Hamas members.'" Why the quotation marks around "Hamas members"? Perhaps the omniscient Milbank was not aware of the out-of-court libel settlement between CAIR and the Web site www.anti-cair-net.org that seems to confirm that description.
1) CAIR's founders came from the Islamic Association for Palestine, sometimes known as the American Muslim Society. IAP has been described in court cases as a North America offshoot of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood. The Brotherhood's credo is "Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Koran is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope." A Brotherhood document asserts that part of its mission is to "destroy Western civilization from within." Hamas is a Brotherhood offshoot in the Gaza Strip.
2) Unlike the NAACP, ADL or other American civil rights organizations, CAIR has seen at least five former lay leaders or senior staff arrested, convicted or deported on terrorism- or weapons-related charges. One was Ghassan Elashi, a founder of CAIR's Texas chapter, sentenced to 65 years imprisonment in 2009 in the retrial of the federal Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. He was one of five HLF leaders convicted of convicted of funneling more than $12 million to Hamas. HLF had been America's largest Muslim charity. Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, is designated by the United States, Israel and other countries as a terrorist organization. Elashi had been convicted in a 2004 Hamas-related case as well.
4) In 2004, CAIR sued the Web site anti-cair-net.org for libel on five general grounds. These were that the site claimed the council was a terrorist-supporting front organization, sought the overthrow of the U.S. government, was funded by Hamas supporters, was founded by Hamas members, and was founded by Islamic terrorists. A year later CAIR reduced its libel claims to two, that CAIR was a terrorist-supporting front group and that it sought to overthrow the U.S. government. In 2006, CAIR and anti-cair-net reported a confidential "mutually agreeable settlement." The Web site's attorney noted that CAIR's interest in a settlement "intensified … just as a judge was considering whether the group should be forced to disclose additional details about its inner workings, including its financing and its alleged ties to Hamas and other terrorist groups." This appeared to leave unchallenged the claims that CAIR was founded by Hamas members, founded by Islamic terrorists, and funded by Hamas supporters.
6) In 2005, CAIR published "Unequal Protection," a report alleging "dramatic increases in reported civil rights and hate-crimes cases." But examination of CAIR's statistics and cases revealed no such national trend. And figures reported by the FBI for reported hate crimes in 2006 and subsequent years reflected a consistent post-Sept. 11, 2001 trend: no wave of "Islamophobic" attacks. For 2006, 2,640 hate crimes were reported against black Americans; 1,195 based on sexual orientation, 967 against Jews; 890 targeting whites, 576 against Hispanics and 156 aimed at American Muslims. Nevertheless, like the boy in the children's tale who periodically cried "Wolf!" to inflate his own importance, CAIR chronically and falsely discerns waves of "Islamophobia" rolling across America.
7) Hyping demographic as well as hate crime statistics, CAIR has claimed to represent "7 million American Muslims." Best estimates, including by the Pew Research Center in 2007, put the figure for American Muslims at 2.35 million. Although the council's voice, often uncritically echoed by news media like The Washington Post, is loud, its U.S. donor list may be small. The New York Times reported ("Scrutiny Increases for a Group Advocating for Muslims in U.S.," March 14, 2007) that "CAIR has raised suspicion by accepting large donations from individuals or foundations closely identified with Arab governments," in particular, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
8) CAIR has distributed a 1934 version of Islamic scripture, The Meaning of the Holy Quran. The book was banned in 2002 by the Los Angeles school district because of antisemitic commentary accompanying the text.
Much of the above can be found in more detail and with other information about the council, in CAMERA's 2009 Special Report, "The Council on American Islamic Relations: Civil Rights or Extremis m?" Copies of the Special Report were supplied to Post reporters and editors long before the paper's coverage of the King hearings.
Kessler's "Fact Checker" column noted that a U.S. District judge found (in the 2009 retrial) that "the government 'has produced ample evidence' to establish the associations of CAIR and other organizations with entities such as the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, the Islamic Association for Palestine and with the Hamas militant [emphasis added] group." But the columnist minimized the finding by focusing on the legal technicality of whether CAIR's listing as an unindicted co-conspirator should have been publicized during the case.
The Post observed that Los Angeles County Sheriff Baca "pointedly noted [that] CAIR itself has never been charged with criminal activity." Baca seems unaware of former CAIR leaders and staffers' numerous criminal charges and "Fact Checker" keeps Post readers that way.
According to Kessler, "the repeated references to CAIR being an 'unindicted co-conspirator" is one of those true facts that ultimately gives a false impression." Never mind the ungrammatical "true facts" — facts are, by definition, true — CAIR's label as "unindicted co-conspirator" in a terrorism-related case is a key fact. It is part of a pattern demonstrating that the council is less an American Muslim civil rights group and more a Hamas-leaning offshoot.
"Fact Checker" acknowledged that CAIR was an unindicted co-conspirator in the HLF case, but doesn't mention the convictions or their reflection on the council. Kessler said "the FBI doesn't call CAIR a terrorist group. Nor does it allege that CAIR was founded or financed by Hamas." No, but the anti-cair-net settlement points in that direction.
Columnist Dana Milbank was not content with recalling the early Cold War House Un-American Activities Committee, which at times found communists where they weren't, or with his "McCarthyite" smear. Actually, charging someone with McCarthyism while misrepresenting his argument and ignoring relevant facts itself could be consider McCarthyite.
The columnist also implied by obvious innuendo racism and religious bigotry: "… King and his white Republican colleague listened to Democrats — most of them black or Latino — speak up for another minority." Posing as a journalistic skeptic and scold, Milbank shows no skepticism toward the generalizations some committee members offered in parallel to CAIR's allegation that the hearing was a witch-hunt aimed at American Muslims.
CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper, often quoted by Post reporters, worked for IAP before joining the council. Hooper was once quoted as saying that he "wouldn't want to create the impression that I wouldn't like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future" (Minneapolis Star-Tribune, April 4, 1993).
In 2009, about 50 Somali Americans demonstrated outside a CAIR ice cream social in Minneapolis. They reportedly were friends and family of a local teenager believed to have been killed by Muslim terrorists in Somalia. Demonstrators charged CAIR with discouraging Minneapolis Somalis from cooperating with an FBI investigation into the radicalization of their youth, at least 20 of whom disappeared. They apparently had gone to join a Somalia terrorist group. The dead teenager's uncle, one of King's committee witnesses, charged intimidation by local mosque leaders when he tried to trace his nephew.
Little of this who, what, when, where, why and how regarding CAIR registers with The Post. In addition to "Fact Checker" and Milbank, two news articles, "House hearing to bring debate on Islam to the fore," (March 10) and "Lost of drama, less substance; Hearing on radicalization of U.S. Muslims puts Congress in spotlight as much as Islam," mentioned CAIR. The latter noted the Cravaack-Baca exchange. But neither dealt with evidence suggesting CAIR is part of the problem, not the solution.
Post Executive Editor Marcus W. Brauchli previously responded to CAMERA criticism of the newspaper's treatment of CAIR as a credible news source by noting that the press often quotes those it does not agree with. But that, as CAMERA observed, is not the issue: The question continues to be why The Post persists in sanitizing CAIR, quoting or mentioning it with little or no context, letting readers infer that it is a civil rights group rather than a mouthpiece for extremists?
As CAMERA has noted ("Managing Editor 'Wants More Muslim Readers, Journalists'," July 24, 2008)), it is not the purpose of a major daily newspaper to seek readers and journalists from particular groups. The Post should not specifically want more Muslim readers and reporters any more than it should seek more Jewish, black or homosexual readers and reporters. That's the role of the ethnic or specialty press, and the Washington Jewish Week, Washington Afro-American, and Washington Blade exist to serve such markets.
The job of general interest dailies like The Post is to report the news of the day regardless of its religious, ethnic, gender or other minority roots. Specifically looking for reporters and readers from or for special interests risks embedding political correctness in coverage. To report the news comprehensively, in context, for the body politic a major daily must transcend special interests. Otherwise, coverage can be parochial if not special pleading. That's what Post coverage of CAIR has been so far: "high-mindedly" parochial and, by effect, special pleading.

Home Football World Cup Qualifiers What is Tite thinking?
What is Tite thinking?
"This is not the era of Brazil where each and every player was ready to shine, no matter which position they played. This is the era where talented players with decent and not extraordinary abilities exist – they just need the right position to play and obviously, enough playing time should be given. But, as I said, none could understand what Tite is thinking"
After a dismal show against Venezuela at Caracas, the boys of Tite dished out a dismal display against Colombia – apart from the altercations between Neymar and Yerry Mina; there was nothing significant from the Selecao at Barranquilla. Brazil dropped points for the first time in the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers and yet again, Tite's tactics were heavily criticized.
One can be sure, if no injuries happen, Tite would start with Alisson, Casemiro in front of him while Neymar leading the attack upfront in Qatar – but the space between the defensive and offensive area, even after four years, nothing is organized since World Cup 2018.
The search is for the best harmony between the offensive model and the players who would be chosen to execute it.
In the last three matches, the Selecao played either in a 4-2-2-2 switching to a 4-1-3-2 or, Tite's favourite 4-1-4-1.
Fred was like a confused character at the centre of the pitch who was outweighed several times by the Colombian players and his lack of creativity hampered Brazil badly. Meanwhile, Gabigol up front was another confused character, who still has not figured out what to do when wonderful scoring opportunities pass by.
The role of Lucas Paqueta as a winger or false nine – as they are saying – seems to be one of the most wasted ideas ever executed by a Brazilian coach. Paqueta is not an allrounder like the past legends who would gel well in any positions, rather he is more of a regista and like Bruno Guimares – he loves to pull the strings from the deep.
And on what basis Everton Ribeiro makes the cut in the starting eleven as a right-winger remains a moot question.
At present, Tite has built the Selecao with a lineup of three players in front of the wheel and two moving forwards inside.
In the victory over Venezuela, of below-average performance, this line of three had Ribeiro on the right, Gerson in the middle and Paqueta on the left. In the tie with Colombia, Gabriel Jesus and Fred replaced Ribeiro and Gerson – ultimately cutting a frustrating figure.
These changes hinted that Tite is searching for the missing parts between the defensive and offensive line – well, he can't fix things, until and unless he starts with the right players, who would set the tone and boost the confidence.
It seems, we seem to talk the same thing in different ways, but still, unable to decipher the mind of a coach, who replaced a frustrating Carlos Dunga back in 2016 and gave everyone a lot of hope.
Tite's career includes titles won in various tactical formations – all built from the balance between the defensive and offensive phases – also determined by the evolution of the game. His most recent great moments, at Corinthians and in the Selecao, had either fast attackers endowed with the ability to unbalance defensive systems with dribbling and deep plays or creative midfielders with accurate space reading to move towards to the middle and generate superiority and approximation.
The first category includes Raphinha, Antony, Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes, Cebolinha, Douglas Costa, Malcom, Gabriel Jesus, Phlippe Coutinho and Neymar.
In the second category – Everton Ribeiro, Claudinho, Jadson, Bruno Guimares, Paqueta, although this movement still doesn't seem to be such a present and natural element in his ascension.
Jesus has an exciting start to the season as a right-winger at Manchester City and had a good performance in the 2019 Copa America, but still, his selection as a right-winger in the current Brazil side needs further evaluation.
To receive the ball closer to the opponent's area, other mechanisms of the positional game would need to be more adjusted, such as the conduction of the ball to the offensive field, by the defenders, and a smaller distance from him, Jesus, to the lateral.
At City, the presence of a trio of midfielders usually favours faster ball circulation and this also allows a pass to find it in better conditions, against a less balanced marking.
This is another issue to be resolved by Tite in this space between Casemiro and Neymar: the composition of the midfield.
In the overwhelming beginning, Renato Augusto and Paulinho shared functions – the first one varying the pace, accelerating or pacing according to the demand of the game, and helping the origin of the plays; the second with its constant infiltration, taking advantage of the spaces created by the movement of attackers and arriving at the area to finish.
The momentary decision to use a central attacking duo, motivated by Neymar's transformation, calls for a second defensive midfielder that can bring together as many of the characteristics of Renato Augusto and Paulinho as possible.
It's easier to find that type of midfielder in other countries.
Here, Tite runs into a problem with the formation of Brazilian football, a conceptual delay in relation to the understanding of the game.
Apart from the updated version of Lionel Messi as a midfielder, arch-rival, Argentina has Rodrigo e Paul, who dictates the game from the deep and gives Argentina the edge in between the offensive and defensive area. Italy have a Marco Verratti, France have a Paul Pogba with players like Camavinga waiting under the wings and Germany have a Joshua Kimmich – meanwhile, Brazil does not have such assets.
Paqueta and Guimares could have been built by giving them time and right positions – but the biggest loss is the downfall of Arthur Melo and Coutinho.
Arthur is the one who could complement very well with Casemiro or Fabinho in Tite's 4-2-2-2 system while Coutinho would have given Neymar the boost from the central attacking position by moving from the left to centre.
But there is no meaning in wasting time for those who are still trying to rediscover themselves, rather, it would be better to exploit the right ones – that same school of thought – choose the right players and settle a team for the World Cup.
From 2018 until now, Brazil has attacked in all the ways described in this text, in addition to transforming the left-back into a winger, forming a 2-3-5 with minimum effect.
Today, it alternates between a ball outing with seven players (goalkeeper, full-backs, defenders and midfielders) and another, a little more advanced, with three (defenders and one of the full-backs).
This is not the era of Brazil where each and every player was ready to shine, no matter which position they played. This is the era where talented players with decent and not extraordinary abilities exist – they just need the right position to play and obviously, enough playing time should be given. But, as I said, none could understand what Tite is thinking.

Saudi Arabia's Minister of Interior Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Nayef bin Abdulaziz and Bahrain's Minister of Interior Lieutenant General Sheikh Rashid bin Abdullah Al Khalifa chaired on Monday the first meeting of the Security and Military Coordination Committee in Bahrain's capital Manama.
The committee's meeting represents "a clear expression of an extended march of security integration that brings the two brotherly countries together, and contributes to enhancing joint security performance and consolidating stability," Bahrain's interior minister said, according to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
Prince Abdulaziz stressed that Saudi-Bahraini cooperation provides a "solid base for protecting the strategic interests of the countries of the region," SPA reported.
The Saudi interior minister indicated that one of the fruits of cooperation between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia is the establishment of the Saudi-Bahraini Coordination Council, whose work is chaired by Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Bahrain's Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa.
Prince Abdulaziz added that he is confident the Security and Military Coordination Committee will achieve what "the leadership of the two countries aspires for in terms of security, safety, stability and development" for the people of Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, according to SPA.

The markets ebullient mood over the past couple of days turned on a dime this morning as news broke that Trump is finalising a list of new tariffs on China to the tune of $200bln. Meanwhile the latest survey shows business conditions remain buoyant but there is little in it for consumers.
Shortly after US markets closed this morning, a report emerged US President Trump was finalising the next round of tariffs of China. The list of items is expected to total $200bln, which is on top of the initial $50bln, the first $34bln of which came in to effect last week.
The move shouldn't have come as too much of a surprise given President Trump had flagged further tariffs as the Chinese responded to the initial round of tariffs, which they did.
The escalation of the trade war with China comes as President Trump is flying out to Europe to face off with NATO. On top of arguing for more equal contributions to NATO, he is also expected to attack the EU and specific nations over tariffs judging by his pre-flight tweets this morning.
Meanwhile in Australia yesterday we got the latest monthly business survey from the NAB which showed businesses continue to enjoy some of the best conditions since the survey was introduced in the late 1990s. Business conditions remain elevated, with improvements in profitability and trading conditions keeping the business conditions index well above the long run average.
Businesses continue to benefit from strong population growth, record low interest rates and relatively benign cost pressures, especially when it comes to most businesses largest expense, wages.
There was little good news for consumers though with the employment sub index falling for a second straight month. While Nab suggest the employment index still points to around 20,000 in new jobs growth a month, the fall is consistent with other forward looking indicators of employment.
The underwhelming jobs growth so far in 2018 compared to last year means slack in the labour force is going to take longer to work through than was previously expected. That also means the probability of a meaningful pick up in wages is still some way off.

there is a fast solution without do all this?
We have this problem in our server and tried the above method but no luck..
And just upgraded to the latest stable release. No problems with mysql here either.
cPanel 7.4.1-S74 update for me.
only happend on the Redhat 8.0 server.
the above didn't work for me also.
This is usually the first root pass the box was given once cpanel is installed.
If it still does not work, you will need to reset the mysqld root pass.
Thansk for the tip but still no luck after trying the above steps.
We had special characters in our password (eg: !@#$%^&*) which caused the password to not work even after being reset using the instructions in previous replies to this topic.
After setting the password to "test" it all worked so we removed the special characters from the password and it was all fine.
Now you just killall -9 mysqld and start it up normally with it's safe_mysqld script..
Thanks for your post HS-Jon ... I had tried every fix I could find here in this forum and a couple others but none worked. Your post was the one for me!!!
Use WHM change LOcal mysql Root passwd.
If you get an error first time try to change it again.


Hope for Paws received information about a stranded dog that had been living all alone for almost a year after his owner passed away. His owner's death caused a great change in his life. The owner's family sold the house and left the dog behind to fend for himself. He was abandoned and for an entire year, and the poor thing lived under a shed nearby hoping for his owner's return.
The neighbors sympathized and left him some food and water every now and then. They waited for someone to come and save the pooch. And that's when Hope For Paws stepped in and made a beautiful rescue. Finally after a year of grief and pain, Woody will be receiving all the love in the world. This video also wants to remind you to include your pets in your will or trust to make sure they have a loving place to go to after your demise.
