Children tend to get hungry between breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and always look for something that tastes great, and looks great. Luckily, there's plenty of healthy snacks for children that taste great. As a mother, you always look for healthy food rather than giving your child junk food like chips or instant noodles.
Nutritious Thalipeeth and other healthy snack recipes.
Here, I'm sharing a few healthy snacks that will satisfy those in-between-meals hunger pangs the healthy way.
Allow the mixture to cool completely and transfer it into a deep bowl.

Cook on both the sides, using ? tsp of oil, till it turns golden brown in colour from both the sides.
Repeat steps 3 to 5 to make 5 more thalipeeth.
Combine the whole wheat flour and milk in a small bowl, mix well and keep aside.
Heat the butter in a broad non-stick pan, add the onions and green chillies and sauté on a medium flame for 1 minute or till the onions turn translucent.

Mount Laurel man fatally injured by car as he walked along road
On behalf of Ginsberg & O'Connor, P.C. posted in Wrongful Death on Thursday, April 19, 2012.
Previously, we've discussed how negligence too often plays a role in personal injury and wrongful death. But sometimes the determination of fault in a fatal accident has to go beyond the initial police report. In fact, families in New Jersey sometimes have to seek help in accident reconstruction after the tragic death of a loved one. Such efforts aid victims' families in deciding whether a wrongful death claim is a viable option in the wake of a fatal accident.
These issues are likely all too close to home for the family of a man from Mount Laurel. The 28-year-old was fatally injured on April 17 when a car struck him as he walked along Route 38 in Hainesport. The car that hit the young man swerved after the initial collision and struck another vehicle. Neither of the drivers was hurt, and despite the pedestrian's fatal injuries, no one was charged with a traffic violation.
According to the New Jersey State Police, the 28-year-old was walking on the shoulder of the road. It was claimed that the young man stepped into the right lane of traffic. How police determined this information wasn't indicated in a local news report, but we can assume that the drivers gave their own accounts of what happened.
The family of the victim in this case deserves to know the exact circumstances of the young man's death. While the investigation of the accident apparently took three hours at night, one may wonder if the investigation was thorough. Clarity is too often obscured when a crash site isn't properly scrutinized for details.
Sadly, the young man's passing marks the fourth pedestrian fatality in Burlington County this year and the sixteenth death resulting from a car crash. Bergen, Hudson, Essex and Union counties have also seen four pedestrian fatalities each since Jan. 1, and in the same period of time, 44 pedestrians statewide have lost their lives to auto accidents.

Matt Helders originally used a Zildjian A Crash/Ride in his earlier albums but then later changed to the slightly darker, Zildjian K Crash/Ride. This Crash Ride can be seen in music videos such as 'Arebella' and 'R U Mine', aswell as many live performances, particulary from the 'AM' era. Proof of this can be seen at 2:17 in the live performance of 'R U Mine' that is linked above.
This quote is from the Zildjian Artists website for Tre Cool. "Tré's solid and always tasteful drumming has earned him respect as one of rock's best drummers. He uses a variety of Zildjian cymbals, including K Dark Thin Crashes and Zildjian Tré Cool Artist Series Drumsticks."
"Zildjian caught up with Adam Carson of AFI during their (Crash Love) tour to get some "behind the scenes" footage with Adam" (this was a video on Youtube as Adam is a Zildjian artist). His stats were up on their website along with gear in 2010.
You can see this cymbal on Ben's artist page on official Zildian page.
In this photo, shared by Dines, this cymbal is visible. If you zoom in, you can see it says 20"51 cm.
Bought it at an early age, and fell in love with its cutting/washy crash sound. Never used it for its "ride" abilities, but have always bashed away at it. Bell has a low ping. I would never recommend it as a main ride, but it is a great heavy/thin crash to have with longer sustain.


Reliance Industries today will announce financial results for the third quarter of its current financial year.
Before that, the stock of the company is being strengthened by about 1%, hence the stock market is also getting support.

Earlier, Reliance Industries's profits increased by 17.9% and 53.6% in net earnings in the same period of the current financial year compared to the second quarter of FY 2017-18.
On the other hand, Reliance Industries's share in the BSE has climbed up to Rs 1,147.80 in the business of Rs 1,141.00, with an increase of Rs 1,134.05, compared to the previous close level of Rs 1,141.00. At around 11.30 pm, it is running at Rs. 1,144.25 with the strength of Rs. 10.20 or 0.90%.

China's second aircraft carrier is well on its way, far earlier than expected
Col. Vinayak Bhat (retd)
China's second aircraft carrier, and the first to be indigenously built, is known as Type 002 CV-17
The new aircraft carrier, the indigenously-built Type 002 CV-17 'Shandong', is currently undergoing its third sea trial at Dalian shipyard.
New Delhi: China is likely to get its second aircraft carrier sooner than the world expects, as the People's Liberation Army Navy's (PLAN) homegrown carrier vessel battle group (CVBG) is well on its way to being seaworthy.
The 'Chinese Dream' expounded by President Xi Jinping needs a strong navy with power projection capabilities, and the backbone of any country's ability to display strength beyond its borders is a CVBG.
ThePrint takes a close look at the progress of the vessels at Dalian through satellite imagery.

The CV-17 'Shandong'
China's second aircraft carrier, and the first to be indigenously built, is known as Type 002 CV-17. It is to be named 'Shandong', and is out on its third sea trial.
The fitting-out work for the CV-17 had taken barely a year, and hence, Western naval experts expected it would take longer during the sea trials. However, the PLAN has managed to keep up with the schedule for the CV-17, especially in the sea trials phase.
The most visible and major difference between the CV-17 and the previous Type 001 CV-16 'Liaoning' aircraft carrier (of Soviet origin) is the former's island length. The CV-17 is almost 10 metres shorter.
The most visible difference between the CV-17 and the previous Type 001 CV-16 'Liaoning' aircraft carrier is the former's island length.
Satellite images indicate that the deck of the CV-17 has not yet been given an anti-skid coating. However, the bow has been provided with an additional white coat, possibly anti-skid.
The CV-17 has got arrestor cables this time, although the arrestor gear system was in place since last October.
Recent images also show a mock J-15 aircraft and Z-18 helicopter on deck, indicating the carrier vessel's readiness to accept take-offs and landings.
It is expected that some tyre marks will be observable when the CV-17 returns to dock.
Satellite images of CV-16 and CV-17
The CV-16 'Liaoning'
The CV-16 has been dry-docked for almost four months, since the beginning of July 2018. Recent images dated 29 October and 31 October 2018 indicate that CV-16 is now out of dry dock, after completion of changes.
The CV-16 has got a new coat for its deck, some changes to the bridge and the aviation control room.
Recent images indicate that CV-16 is now out of dry dock, after completion of changes.
Surprisingly, the 'Liaoning' now has its pennant number on its island, similar to US Navy aircraft carriers. This is visible on satellite imagery too.
It will be very interesting to watch the CV-16 join the CV-17 during trials. Both are expected to be replenished by a single Type 901 general supply vessel, especially constructed for the support of the Chinese CVBG.
Accommodation ship
On this current sea trial too, the CV-17 Shandong has left behind its consort — the Daguan class barracks ship pennant number 89 — at the Dalian shipyard.

The 'accommodation' or 'barracks' ship moves as a consort to the aircraft carrier.
These ships generally support sea trials, and also possibly provide for an additional set of crew to be rotated during trials for training purposes.
The accommodation ships generally support sea trials
China has two of these Daguan vessels, produced by Guangzhou Shipbuilding International (GSI) at Guangzhou and Longxue.
Two wingman ships — XuxiaKe 88 and TBN 89 — have been observed at Dalian since the CV-17 trials began.


Rock Island, IL: Thousands of devotees from nearby towns and cities and far-flung states converged and participated in the consecration and inauguration ceremonies of the newly-built Quad City Hindu Temple here from July 30 to August 3.
The five-day festivities were packed with several homa the fire prayer sessions, chanting of Vedic mantras, singing of Sanskrit slokas and bhajans, sanctification of kalasas the sacred water-filled and decorated coconut-crowned brass pitchers, abhisekhas of deities, kumbhabhishekam, and finally prana prathishtapana the infusion of divinity into Utstava Vigrahas and beautifully-carved granite and marble idols. The celebrations were also marked by debut singing of Suprabhatam to Lord Venkateswara, the presiding deity, and the first Kalyanotstavam (ceremonial wedding) of the Lord with Goddess Padmavati.
The temple was colorfully decorated, rangolees were laid out, huge tents were erected and a special yagnasala tent was set up. Closer to the yagnasala, another exclusive tent was pitched in which several kalasas and Utstava Vigrahas were placed for various sanctification ceremonies to be performed to them.
The celebrations, under the leadership of a govern- ing body led by president Dr. Lokanatham Gumidyala, and kumbhabhisekham committee chairman Dr. Srinivas Chintalapani, were well planned by chief priest Chandrasekhara Sharma, resident priest Ramakrishna, and their team of about 10 priests drawn from various Hindu temples of the country, and several committees and volunteers. The celebrations began with Bhagavad anugna, Vishwaksena and Ganapati puja at 9:00 a.m. on July 30 and ended at about 10:00 p.m on August 3, with honoring the priests, volunteers and all those who made the celebration a grand success. In between several rituals and ceremonies were performed.
On the second day, July 31, besides all other rituals of Vishwaksena and Ganapati Puja and homas, the beautifully carved granite idols of Venkateswara Swami, His consorts Sridevi and Bhudevi, Lskshmi Narasimha Swami, Ganesha, Shiva, Parvati, Muruga, Durga, Satyanarayanamurty, and Hanuman, and the white marble idols of Shirdi Sai Baba, Rama Parivar, and Krishna Parivar were given ceremonial baths. The highlight of the day�s celebrations was Netronmelanam or the opening the eyes of the idols by Sthapathi, and a Dharshan followed by Pushpadhivasam.
From the second day until the fourth day, many daily rituals, including Vuktahomam, Sri Venkateswara Swami Homam, Sri Ganapati Homam, Sri Rudra Homam, Sri Subrahmanya Homam, Sri Durga Homam, Sri Navagraha Homam, Sri Lakshmi Nrusimha Homam, Sri Seeta Rama Homam, Sri Hanumatha Homam, Sri Radha Krishna Homam, Sri Garuda Homam, Sri Nandi Homam, Sri Satyanarayana Homam, and Sri Sai Baba Homam were performed.
The fourth day and fifth day were marked by special events. By then all the deities were moved from the tents to their designated places in the temple. Between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. on August 2, Rathnadhivasam and Dhanadhivasam were performed for Sri Venkateswara Swami. In the evening after Vishwaksena and Ganapati Puja, the idol of Sri Venkatewara Swami was given an elaborate and ceremonial bath with several pitchers of water, milk, curds, honey, and sandalwood water. The idol was then anointed with sandalwood paste and camphor. As the curtain was drawn for dressing and decorating the Lord, the Utstava Vigrahas were ceremoniously moved from the yagnasala to the temple and placed in front of the sanctum sanctorum for devotees to view them. While the priests chanted Vedic hymns and sang bhajans, the devotees joined them with a spirit of devotion.
The celebrations on the final day, August 3, were marked by singing of suprabhatam for Sri Venkateswara Swami at 7:00 a.m. The Lord was elegantly dressed, brightly decorated with glittering ornaments and tastefully garlanded with garlands made of colorful flowers specially requisitioned from New York and other places. Though the sky was overcast and raining, several devotees crowned the temple premises and participated in the event. It looked as though through a divine intervention, the sky was quickly cleared of the thick clouds and bright sun appeared. After suprabhatam, the devotees gathered at the yagnasala for a special homa. The homa rituals went on till 9:00 a.m. and ended with a ritualistic mahapoornahuti, when the priests and sponsors were decorated with special headgears and the kalasas placed on their heads. Then all the priests and sponsors were lined up for the special ceremony of the kumbhabhishekam. With the Kannan group in the lead playing melodious nadaswaram music, the priests, the kalasa-sponsors, and hundreds of devotees, circumambulated the temple. The priests and the kalasa-sponsors were lifted up on to the top of the temple with a specially chartered mechanical crane. The priests performed the much-awaited ceremonial kumbhabhishekam by pouring on the three sets of kalasams, the sacred water brought in brass pitchers by the kalasa-sponsors. From the top of the temple, the priests sprinkled sacred water and showered flower petals on the devotees standing and watching the ceremony. As if the gods were blessing the event, there was a momentous short drizzle, which the devotees warmly welcomed.
After the kumbhabhishekam ceremony, the devotees gathered in the temple when the priests performed archana, mantrapushpam, ruthwik, sambhavna harati and mahaprasadam to all the deities. As part of the temple inauguration celebration, a cow and calf supplied by Bill Lesage were ceremoniously brought into the sanctum sanctorum. The priests offered a special puja to the cow and the calf, and took them round to greet each deity.
In the evening, the devotees once again gathered at the temple for the first Sri Venkateswara Swami Kalyanam. The Utsava Vigrahas of the Lord and Padmavati were placed in a tastefully decorated palanquin and brought them from the temple to a tent, the venue of wedding celebration. The kalyanotsavam (wedding ceremony) was very elaborate as the priests chanted the Vedic mantras. The celebration followed a brief enjoyable cultural program consisting of a Bharatanatyam recital by Sree Devi Nair, and a classical vocal singing by Laxmi Kalluri and others.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Lokanatham thanked all the priests, board members, chairs and members of committees, sponsors, the donors and the devotees for making the celebration a grand success.
The credit for making the program a grand success goes to the Greater Quad City Hindu community. Dr. Lokanatham and his wife Ramani expressed their gratitude to the community and the Almighty. The intricately carved wooden palanquin and the ceremonial swing (zhoola) were tastefully made by an American family consisting of Mike Palanos, Mark Palanos and Matt Palanos. The Nadaswarm music was provided by the Khannan group.
Dr. Lokanatham and others honored with shawls all those who made the celebrations a grand success. Speaking to India Tribune, Dr. Lokanatham said that with the celebration of kumbhabhishekam and consecration, the first phase of the temple construction was completed. The maha kumbhabhishekam would be performed after the completion of the Indianization by raising the traditional gopurams on the temple. The work on the Indianization would begin soon. We need funds for completing the work and we welcome donors and sponsors to continue lending their helping hand. The temple symbolizes our spirituality and culture. We want our youths to imbibe them and participate actively in the temple activities and take the efforts to the next level, he concluded.
For more information, please call the temple at (309) 787-HIND (4463) or visit the temple Web site at www.qchindutemple.com.

Początki zboru w Nowym Tomyślu związane są działalnością Andrzeja Borówki, seniora, który po II wojnie światowej jako repatriant przyjechał z rodziną do Polski i osiedlił się we wsi Sękowo, koło Nowego Tomyśla. W 1948 założył on zbór Kościoła Ewangelicznych Chrześcijan i jako pastor zboru rozpoczął pracę misyjną na terenie kilku województw. W latach 1948–1992 nabożeństwa odbywały się na terenie gospodarstwa rodziny Borówków. Od 1993 miejscem nabożeństw jest nowo wybudowany budynek kościelny w Nowym Tomyślu, przy ul. Wypoczynkowej 20.

Q: How to solve wrong HEIGHT of IMAGEVIEW in percentage in Android I´ve tried a few thinks to achive the following thing:
For the discription: I want to have a header with a textview which wraps over the howl page and below this header I want to display three images beside each other. It should be like a image gallery. This layout i want to duplicate.
But my problem is, that I the height of the ImageView is to high and that there is a distance between the sized image and the title. See figure.

On the Left is what I want and on the right is what I got...
Here is my layout code:

<ScrollView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:scrollbars="none"
    android:layout_weight="1">

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
            android:textStyle="bold"
            android:text="titel"
            android:id="@+id/titel"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:padding="3dp"
            android:textSize="18sp"/>

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_below="@+id/titel">

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="0.208"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:id="@+id/image1"
            android:src="@drawable/1"/>

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="0.389"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:id="@+id/image2"
            android:src="@drawable/2"/>

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="0.403"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:id="@+id/image3"
            android:src="@drawable/3"/>

        </LinearLayout>

    </RelativeLayout>

</ScrollView>

A: my best guess is because your ImageView scales your image in a way that it fits into the center of the view and leaves empty space around the top and bottom of the view. try adding android:adjustViewBounds="true" to your ImageView in the xml.
on a side note, when debugging view hierarchy, it's almost always gonna be helpful to go to Android Device Monitor, select your devices to the right, and click Dump View Hierarchy for UI Automator. You can easily find out which view is taking the extra space by hovering your mouse over different view elements.

"In 1989, Ron Silver brought together a group of writers, actors, producers, directors, agents, designers and lawyers from the entertainment world and founded The Creative Coalition. We were not — and are not — a precisely like-minded political group, but rather people who longed to use our communication skills and political savvy in more effective ways. We debated and argued and it was finally decided that The Creative Coalition would be a place to educate ourselves on all sides of issues so as to become as well informed as possible before talking to the press, to policy makers, or to the public. We wanted to get beyond celebrity-in-politics tokenism and photo-ops to move inside the political process-to actually help shape policy.
"Through a series of membership meetings at which experts from all sides of the issues spoke, we began to discover the areas where we believed we could make a difference, and that indeed still drive us: federal funding for the arts, free speech and education.
"Our numbers grew and soon-to-become linchpin members like Christopher Reeve, Blair Brown, Michael Fuchs and Alec Baldwin joined our ranks. Well-briefed TCC members have regularly been asked to testify before Congressional committees, appear on TV shows like Crossfire, MacNeil-Lehrer Newshour and a host of others, as well as to lead rallies to affect and solidify public opinion on our core issues. We were particularly proud when TCC member Jane Alexander was named to be Chair of the National Endowment for the Arts." [1]

The use of mobile devices and wireless systems opens your business up to security risks. The same avenues that we love for efficient means of finding, storing, and exchanging information, are the ones that can be the most dangerous.
The good news is that by setting security measures for mobile devices, you can prevent the changes of private data being hacked or lost. Securing mobile devices is possible—a combination of best employee practices and technical measures can block out most security threats to your business.
What security measures should you implement to protect information?
When it comes to securing information in a cloud system, there are several measure you can take.
One way to protect information is to use an encryption software that scrambles files and data when sent through unsecured WiFi. Using this type of software makes it so that if anyone intercepts the information, it will look like nonsensical code. Encryption is a simple, low cost way to transmit private information.
Whether you use simple passwords or more complex organization wide authentication (which would include levels of access and several gatekeeping methods) put this effective measure in place. Setting up this type of system can be complex but once in place, it is easy to change passwords as needed. This includes setting up two-step or multi-factor authentication and changing employee passwords on a regular basis.
Each type of mobile device (iOS, Android, Windows) uses apps and software that are approved only for those specific devices. Approved programs have secure updates and improvements to keep hackers out. They are also designed to work with each type so there are fewer malfunctions. In order to ensure that employee devices are secure, make sure that they're using only approved programs on their own devices.
When employees use company provided computers as well as their own devices, security can really be strained. Be sure to have policy which restricts business information and files to securable devices. If employees have a phone, a tablet, or a portable computer used for work, it should have the capability to have passwords and encryption on it.
Other helpful measures to have in place to maintain security is to only use secure WiFi, install malware software, change passwords regularly, and periodically check your system security. Hackers can get into public WiFi systems. They can send malware that steals passwords and intercepts emails. Keep them out!
Hackers can target both small and large companies. With the wide use of mobile devices, WiFi security is a real concern. Regular checks that your system is secure keeps the security measures you put in places strong.
Hackers and viruses can pose a threat. But there are great ways available to make sure your data and business information is safe. Let Beacon Telecom's team of experts be part of your security policy.

Turkey's CHP supports Palestine based on 1967 borders
The international community has responsibility to end Palestinians' suffering, says CHP leader in letter to Mahmoud Abbas
The leader of Turkey's main opposition party has voiced his support for establishing a Palestinian state in line with the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as the capital.
Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu, according to Palestinian News Agency Wafa, sent a letter on Thursday to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas marking the centennial of the Balfour Declaration, which paved the way for Israel's establishment in 1948.
"We welcome all efforts based on the two-state solution to create an independent and sovereign Palestinian state with the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital," the agency quoted Kilicdaroglu as saying.
This would be "the only viable and lasting solution" to end the decades-long suffering of the Palestinian people, he said, calling this "the international community's historical responsibility to the Palestinian people."
Stating that Palestinian unity would be further strengthened by peaceful and constructive steps, Kilicdaroglu said his party supports unity efforts between Fatah and Hamas for the future of Palestine.
He added: "We will do our utmost to help contribute to all possible initiatives to put the dying peace process back on track."
The 1917 Balfour Declaration -- written by British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Walter Rothschild, a prominent British Jew and supporter of the Zionist movement -- set out the U.K.'s support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine.
On Thursday, thousands of Palestinians took to the streets across the Israeli-occupied West Bank to mark the passage of 100 years since the Balfour Declaration, which laid the groundwork for Israel's establishment -- and their displacement -- in 1948.

What is Classical Education?
Classical education emphasizes the love of learning. In essence, classical education is an education committed to (1) words, (2) the past, (3) the classical languages, and (4) thinking, writing, and communicating well. Beyond simply getting a job or making money, at Augustine School we affirm that education is to help shape and form wise and virtuous young men and women who are learning to submit all things to the universal lordship of Christ.
Who was Classically Educated?
A classical education is also a model of education that has produced some of the finest thinkers, inventors, scientists, mathematicians, writers, and leaders the world has ever seen:
"Although we often succeed in teaching our pupils 'subjects,' we fail lamentably on the whole in teaching them how to think: They learn everything, except the art of learning." - Dorothy Sayers
A PROVEN MODEL
As a member of the Association of Classical Christian Schools (ACCS), Augustine School is part of a growing movement to recover the classical Christian model of education that has proven so successful throughout Western history. Although the primary benefit of this model of education is its ability to cultivate wisdom and virtue, ACCS schools have also consistently proven their ability to meet and exceed the highest standards for college preparation as measured by college entrance exams, such as the SAT and ACT. Click below to view survey data from the ACCS Website:
A.C.C.S. SAT / ACT DataNational Survey Results
Pillars of Classical Education:
1. Reading And Words
A classical education puts a high premium on the written and spoken word. This is appropriate, since the God of Scripture has chosen to speak to us through words.
2. A Telos Or "Goal"
The goal of classical education was the formation of a certain type of person—a wise and virtuous person. As Christians we construe this goal in a more distinctively Christian way. The goal of education is the formation of a wise and virtuous Christian person, who has learned "to take every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ" (2 Cor. 5:10).
3.The Past
As C.S. Lewis has written, "The educated man habitually, almost without noticing it, sees the present as something that grows out of a long perspective of centuries." By paying attention to the past, our modern blinders are at least partially removed and we are able to see and understand our own age more clearly.
4. Classical Languages
A classical education includes a retrieval of the languages of classical antiquity—Greek and Latin. Perhaps the most important reason to study such languages is simply that they are the languages of our cultural inheritance, and to be educated means to understand and know one's past.
The study of Greek and Latin are also worthy of our attention because through the study of these languages, we learn our own language and its grammar more thoroughly, our critical and logical thinking skills are honed, our English vocabulary improves, and our abilities in other areas such as math improve immensely.
5. Rigorous Thinking, Speaking And Writing
A truly excellent education should result in students who think and communicate well, whether through the spoken or written word. Whether in debate, in letters meant to persuade, or in various leadership positions, a classical education forms students who are able to present themselves in a winsome and eloquent manner.

With Civil Rights Charges, Justice Dept. Signals Priorities
Associated Press | May 8, 2021 3:20 pm
FILE - In this April 26, 2021, file photo Attorney General Merrick Garland speaks at the Department of Justice in Washington. (Mandel Ngan / Pool via AP)
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department is sending a strong message about its priorities these days.
In just over the past two weeks, it has opened investigations of police in Louisville, Kentucky and Minneapolis. Federal prosecutors have charged four former Minneapolis police officers with civil rights violations in George Floyd's death, and accused three men of hate crimes in the death of Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia. In both criminal cases, authorities moved forward with federal charges before most of the defendants have gone to state trial.
Attorney General Merrick Garland is making good on his confirmation promise to refocus the department around civil rights after four years of tumult during the Trump administration, when such investigations waned and the focus was on curbing immigration and the Russia probe.
"What we couldn't get them to do in the case of Eric Garner, Michael Brown in Ferguson, and countless others, we are finally seeing them do," the Rev. Al Sharpton said Friday after the charges were announced in Floyd's death.
Former Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin has already been convicted of murder and manslaughter charges in state court and is scheduled to be sentenced June 25. The federal case could be insurance against a successful state appeal or a lenient sentence.
Separately, federal officials accused Chauvin in a 2017 case involving Chauvin's arrest of a 14-year-old boy. Chauvin hit the boy, who is Black, with a flashlight and pinned him to the ground, putting his knee on the boy's neck and back.
Chauvin's lawyer, Eric Nelson, has filed a request for a new trial in Floyd's death, citing a host of reasons, including publicity that was "so pervasive and so prejudicial ... that it amounted to a structural defect in the proceedings."
He also argued that the trial judge, Peter Cahill, abused his discretion when he denied earlier requests to move the trial. Cahill has not said when he would rule on Nelson's request for a new trial.
Nelson had no comment on the federal charges.
The three other officers brought up on civil rights charges, Thomas Lane, J. Kueng and Tou Thao, haven't been tried yet in state court on charges of aiding and abetting both second-degree murder and manslaughter in the Floyd case.
Usually, federal prosecutors hold off on any charges until local investigations are completed. But when they do, it's often seen a safety net against the difficulty of prosecuting law enforcement locally.
According to a person familiar with the investigation, that happened during the case against former officer Michael Slager in South Carolina. In 2015, Slager shot to death Walter Scott, an unarmed Black man who ran from a traffic stop.
Local prosecutors worried they could not win a conviction, this person said, so federal prosecutors stepped in and brought charges, working out a plea deal to resolve both the federal and state cases. Slager was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison.
The person was not authorized to publicly discuss those internal deliberations and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The federal charge is limited in its scope and has been rarely used. According to Syracuse University's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, or TRAC, federal prosecutors have used it an average of 41 times a year between 1990 and 2019.
In the 1960s, federal authorities successfully prosecuted eight men involved in the 1964 disappearances and murders of civil rights workers Andrew Goodman, James Chaney and Michael Schwerner in Neshoba County, Mississippi, after local authorities said they did not have enough evidence to prosecute anyone.
One of the most high profile uses of the federal statutes came in the 1992 Rodney King case in Los Angeles. Federal authorities charged four law enforcement officers with violating King's constitutional rights in his videotaped beating. That decision came after a jury in Simi Valley acquitted the officers in the state case, prompting several days of riots in Los Angeles.
It's not clear whether Garland was stepping in to aid local prosecutors in Minneapolis with the three officers, but it's likely they are communicating about the cases. And the same in Georgia, where federal hate crime charges were announced against Travis McMichael and his father, Gregory, and a third man, William "Roddie" Bryan, in the death of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery. The three are jailed on state murder charges and are due in court next week. Jury selection is scheduled to start Oct. 18.
Arbery was killed on Feb. 23, 2020 by three close-range shotgun blasts after the McMichaels pursued him in a pickup truck. Arbery was dead more than two months when a cellphone video of the shooting was leaked online, leading to a national outcry. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation took over the case and arrested the men.
Federal officials have also revived pattern or practice investigations, which were rarely used under the Trump administration. They weren't banned under President Donald Trump, but his attorney general, William Barr, suggested they may have been previously overused.
Jeff Sessions was Trump's first attorney general, and when he resigned in November 2018, he signed a memo that sharply curtailed the use of consent decrees, which are often used during major policing changes in a city. The policy made their use more difficult to enact and required top Justice Department officials to approve the deals. It was quickly rescinded under Garland.
Federal officials have initiated broad reviews that will investigate Louisville police tactics following the death of Breonna Taylor in Louisville last year. A similar investigation into Minneapolis policing was announced the day after Chauvin was found guilty.
Those public announcements have leading to hope that the Garland Justice Department will take a fresh look at some closed investigations. The family of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, who was shot to death by a Cleveland police officer in 2014 while the boy was playing with a toy gun, wrote a letter to Garland asking the investigation be reopened into the officer.
"The election of President Biden, your appointment, and your commitment to the rule of law, racial justice, and police reform give Tamir's family hope that the chance for accountability is not lost forever," the family said in the letter.

Olympic experience will be key in London
By FEAT Canada On July 5, 2012 · Add Comment · In News
By Scott Frandsen Posted: Wednesday, July 4, 2012 | 02:06 PM, courtesy cbc.ca
Lately, I've been asked a lot about how my previous experience will affect our performance in London. With this being my third Olympics, will anything be different? Will I be better prepared to race?
The truth is that each Olympics is completely different, but knowing what challenges to expect can only help.
Canadian rower Scott Frandsen elected to skip the opening ceremony in Beijing, and he went on to win a silver medal. (Paul Gilham/Getty Images)
Canadian rower Jake Wetzel (who finished seventh in Sydney, got a silver in Athens, and won gold in Beijing) once said that, "Your first Olympics is for spectating, your second is for competing, and your third is for winning." I'm not sure if he just said that because that's how it worked out for him, but there's some truth to it
There does seem to be a learning curve for many athletes, an education in being able to handle the heightened pressure and attention that come with an Olympic Games. This obviously does not apply to everyone. Some athletes are able to win in the first attempt. But hopefully my partner in the pair, Dave Calder, and I can follow a similar trajectory to Jake's.
Here's a look at my Olympic experiences, what I've learned, and how I'll apply those lessons in London.
For my first Olympics, I was in the Canadian men's eight boat and we went in as the clear favourites to win. We were supposed to essentially show up and pick up our gold medals. We went in with impressive race results from the previous two years and a solid, confident mindset. But what we didn't have was a single athlete in the boat who had been to the Olympics before. We finished fifth.
As much as you try to treat it like any other race, the Olympics is simply different. I think the pressure, and the experience as a whole, was slightly overwhelming for such a young group. I can only speak for myself, but I remember being a bit awestruck. Having some veteran experience to guide us through the week of racing might have made a difference.
I love watching any elite-level sport, and in Athens I wanted to soak it all in. Whenever we weren't training or travelling back and forth to the athletes' village, I would be in the Canadian athletes lounge, hanging out with the other athletes and watching whatever event was on TV. To me, that was part of being at the Olympics.
We were completely focused on winning, but in hindsight, I think I may have gotten too caught up in everything else that is the Olympics.
Flash forward four years to Beijing, where I rowed in the men's pair with Dave. We took the stark opposite approach – ignore everything to do with the Olympics, and try to treat it like any other race. We stayed at a hotel close to the rowing venue, which made it easier to block out the athletes' village and other events going on.
We even avoided the opening ceremony. It would have been an amazing experience to walk into the Olympic Stadium flying the Canadian flag, but our first race usually happens on the first or second day of the Games, and standing around for four to six hours isn't what you want to do for race prep. Unfortunately, our schedule means that rowers seldom go to the opening ceremony, but it did make it easier to stick to our "low-key" strategy.
I think our approach allowed me to stay much more relaxed and focused in the lead-up to our first race. The downside was that I remember getting to the start line for our heat and having a short, wide-eyed moment of realization where I said to myself "This is the Olympics!"
I was able to settle myself down and get ready to race. We recovered from a disappointing first race and went on to have a great race against Australia in the final, winning the silver medal. I'm not sure that would have happened without our experiences from Athens. Still, with the benefit of hindsight, I'm not sure "ignore everything Olympic" is the best approach either.
Heading into these Olympics, my goal is to strike a middle ground between my previous two strategies. I want to be aware of everything going on around us, and to take in the rare experience, but I don't want to get too emotionally involved or distracted.
I know that our past will help to navigate us through the potential roadblocks that can pop up during the Olympics and help us race to our potential. This sort of opportunity doesn't arise often, and being a veteran only makes me more aware of that.
I'm more aware of the honour and privilege that come with racing for Canada, and hopefully I'm more able to take it all in stride, use it, and race well.

What does a healthy Hunter Henry mean for the Chargers offense?
By Justin Urgo
OAKLAND, CA - OCTOBER 09: Hunter Henry #86 of the San Diego Chargers celebrates after a one-yard touchdown against the Oakland Raiders during their NFL game at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum on October 9, 2016 in Oakland, California. (Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images)
Unfortunately third-year tight end Hunter Henry tore his ACL running a route in a non-contact drill in May earlier this year.
However, after weeks of the move being rumored, Henry was removed from the PUP list and placed on the active roster on Monday.
Over the past two seasons, Henry has 81 receptions for over 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns. When you take away that kind of production from an already slim tight end group it makes it hard for the next man up to match or at least put up similar numbers. Now yes I know Virgil Green and Sean Culkin are blocking tight ends. However, Antonio Gates needs someone else to step up in the passing game.
Philip Rivers' quarterback rating in 2017 was 123 when targeting Henry which was third in the league. Henry also had a catchable target rate of 88.7 which was number one in the league.
Last year Henry was in on 68 percent of snaps with 14 percent of them lined up as the slot receiver. He also had around 20 percent of both red zone targets and end zone targets.
Another stat that not many know is that Henry was also third in the league in air yards with 406. Basically, if you aren't familiar with air yards, it's the number of yards thrown from the line of scrimmage toward that receiver. It does not matter if the pass is complete or incomplete.
Here is an example from Week 4 of last year.
Philip Rivers goes DEEP…

If you want to learn more about air yards and origin check out this article by Josh Hermsmeyer on Rotoworld.com
I can go on and on with all these hidden stats and analyzations, but, I'm now going to give you my honest and realistic football point of view.
Obviously with a lack of production in an area, it's only right for an increase in another. With Henry going down before the season started the Chargers and Rivers knew Melvin Gordon was going to be even more involved.
If Hunter is back in the lineup on Sunday, it'll force Brian Flores and the New England Patriots' defense to either play man defense or zone. Either way, it'll cause a much-needed mismatch for both the safeties and linebackers.
Another aspect of Henry's skill set is his ability to block in the run game. That is what makes him so special. This will most definitely open up the play action game.

Derwin James injury history and outlook for 2021 season
With no real tight end threat, the opposing defenses would stack the box when the Chargers would come out with multiple tight end sets. They basically are saying "We aren't worried about you throwing it because I know my guys can cover yours. However, it'll be a different story when you add a Pro Bowl caliber tight end in the mix.
It's simple when there are more threats in the passing game it'll force the linebackers to stay honest and not send everyone to stop Gordon.
With the struggles the offense has been having these last few weeks, Rivers will have another dangerous and reliable target to help the balance. If the smooth route runner out of Arkansas can go on Sunday it'll be a huge addition for this L.A. squad as they venture deeper into the playoffs.


Happy birthday! Your strength gives hope to millions of other people. Thank you.
The one's who have an expiration date always live past it, because they live their life to the fullest. My Great Grandmother was supposed to die almost 15 years now, she's turning 88 this year and couldn't be happier because she's "had all this extra time with her family that God granted her". So truly the ones who are expected to die always want to live past that and have more initiative to live their lives for themselves and not for the ones around them. Sorry if some of that didn't make sense I was trying to put what I know into words so that someone else might benefit from them + I'm only 15 so some things I say don't make a lot of sense.
happy sweet sixteen! i love when people go against all odds, keep thinking positively. i know you made me think positive.
I know I'm lat, but I just found this site. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Tech jobs are moving out of Silicon Valley and into other cities. Time

SAN FRANCISCO — Tech job seekers take note: Go west, or head to our nation's capital.
CapRelo, an international relocation company, looked at the 25-largest metropolitan areas and cross-referenced job listings on LinkedIn during the first week of June to come up with a snapshot of the American workforce.
What CapRelo found is a booming market for tech jobs in Seattle (more than 50,000 open jobs), the San Francisco Bay Area (more than 40,000) and Washington, D.C. (nearly 40,000). Canada is another hotbed of tech hiring, according to CapRelo.
Tech is strong in multiple markets, CapRelo concluded, though not the most crucial in some of America's biggest cities. Financial services (New York, Philadelphia), construction (Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston), retail (Chicago and Miami), and hospital and health care (Phoenix-Mesa, San Diego and Tampa-St. Petersburg) are booming as well.
"It certainly is a way to look at ... (what) plays into the full job market and what jobs are most in demand," says David Cusick, who worked on the study.
Indeed, the thriving U.S. jobs market — unemployment dipped to 4.3% after 209,000 jobs were added in July — has reached what most economists deem full employment.
And while that could eventually lead to a glut in unfilled tech jobs — industry association CompTIA estimates 1.8 million by 2024 — other fields are on hiring binges.
Drilling deeper, in a separate study, career assistance firm Paysa analyzed more than 8,200 job postings and more than 70,000 resumes from the world's leading tech companies to figure out who's hiring who, and which skills are the most in demand.
The Top Talent of Tech Disruptors and Titans
What it discovered is the skill most in demand was computer science, followed by infrastructure, management and analysis.
The most-aggressive company hiring, Amazon, listed more than 80,000 jobs in the first quarter of this year — although many are in its fulfillment centers across the country. Microsoft and Oracle, each with more than 10,000 openings, were next.
Paysa CEO Chris Bolte (Photo: Paysa, for USA TODAY)
"We are continuing to see a huge number of new software engineering and data science positions across the board," Paysa CEO Chris Bolte says. "Whether at large established firms, or exciting start-ups, these workers are finding constant opportunities for growth."
Getting hired doesn't guarantee a long, fruitful career at many of the biggest tech companies, however.
Uber has the highest turnover rate with the average employee tenure being 1.2 years, according to Paysa. Facebook was tops, at just over two years.

What makes the E36/7 M roadster unique?
The M roadster is the BMW M-developed version of the Z3 roadster. It uses one of three 24-valve six-cylinder engines originally developed by BMW M for the E36 M3 and E46 M3. It also has an M-tuned chassis and several unique cosmetic parts.
Where was the E36/7 M roadster first introduced?
The M roadster was first unveiled at the 1996 Geneva motor show, though production did not begin until later that year.
Where was the E36/7 M roadster built?
Like all Z3-based cars, every M roadster was assembled at the Spartanburg, South Carolina factory. The drivetrain was assembled in Germany and mated with the rest of the car at Spartanburg.
How many versions of the E36/7 M roadster were developed?
The original M roadsters, with engines from the E36 M3, were built through June of 2000 in three different versions: European-specification (S50 engine) in both left- and right-hand drive, and North American-specification (S52 engine) in left-hand drive.
After having been discontinued for more than six months, a revised M roadster entered production in February of 2001. All three versions (European-spec/LHD, European-spec/RHD and North American-spec) utilize the S54 motor from the E46 M3.
How many of each version were produced?
CK91 (ECE-spec S50, LHD): 3,557 produced from 09/96 through 06/2000
CK92, (ECE-spec (S50, RHD): 918 produced from 11/97 through 06/2000
CK93 (NA-spec S52, LHD): 8,938 produced from 02/98 through 07/2000
CL91 (ECE-spec S54, LHD): 271 produced from 02/2001 through 05/2002
CL92 (ECE-spec S54, RHD): 73 produced from 02/2001 through 04/2002
CL93 (NA-spec S54, LHD): 1,565 produced from 02/2001 through 05/2002
What changed during the production of the original (S50 -and S52-powered) E36/7 M roadster?
The following items were introduced or modified during the several years that the S50- and S52-powered M roadsters were produced:
-ASC+T traction control added to the S52-powered model (9/98 production)
-Side impact airbags available in most markets (9/98 production)

-Laguna Seca Blue + Black Nappa leather (Q6KY), Kiwi + Black Nappa leather (Q6OV) and Dark Beige Oregon leather (R3SN) interiors available (NOTE: Kiwi + Black Nappa leather not offered in North America)
How does the Canadian-spec E36/7 M roadster differ from the U.S. version?
Aside from minor changes to the instruments, the addition of daytime running lights and slight differences in equipment (standard "floating" brake rotors, optional headlight washers), the Canadian-spec M roadster is identical to the U.S. model.
What are the differences between the S50 and S52 engines?
The North American-spec powerplant, known as the S52, is based closely on the regular production M52 six-cylinder engine. Like that motor, it has a cast iron block, aluminum cylinder head and four valves per cylinder, with two-stage VANOS variable valve timing on the intake strokes. Unique to the S52, however, is a larger bore of 86.4mm and a longer stroke of 89.6mm for a total displacement of 3,152cc. The engine is rated at 240 hp (SAE) at 6,000rpm and 236 lb/ft of torque at 3,800 rpm.
In addition to the larger displacement, the S52 utilizes the following special M components (compared to the M52):
-Ported and polished cylinder head
-Retuned VANOS variable valve timing for greater high-rpm power
-Heavy-duty valve springs
-More finely balanced camshafts
-Valve lifters, springs and spring seats with reduced mass
-Free-flowing intake and exhaust systems
The European-spec powerplant, known as the S50 B32, is a much more exotic unit. Like the S52, it also contains an iron block and aluminum cylinder head with four valves per cylinder. However, with a bore of 86.4mm and a stroke of 91mm, it has a total displacement of 3,201cc. The S50 B32 incorporates the following special features to allow it to produce an impressive 321 hp (DIN) at 7,400rpm and 258 lb/ft of torque at 3,250 rpm:
-Individual throttle plates for each cylinder
-Increased compression ratio to 11.3:1
-Advanced BMW/Siemens MSS50 engine management system able to compute 20 million instructions per second
-Double VANOS continuously variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust strokes
-Lightweight pistons
-Dual-mass flywheel
-Graphite-coated conrods
-Larger inlet valves
-Secondary oil pump pickup
The S54 powerplant of the later M roadsters is technically an evolution of the iron-block S50 B32 unit that is found in later European-spec E36 M3s, as well as all European-spec M roadsters and M coupes built through June of 2000. The two motors develop similar peak power ratings: 321 hp (DIN)/315 hp (SAE) at 7,400 rpm and 251 lb/ft of torque at 3,250 rpm for the S50 versus 325 hp (DIN) at 7,400 rpm and 258 lb/ft of torque at 4,900 rpm for the S54. However, they share few major components and differ in the following areas:
-Increased cylinder bore to 87mm (from 86.4mm) for a new total displacement of 3,246cc (from 3,201cc)
-Modified camshafts
-High pressure Double VANOS continuously variable valve timing system with faster operation at high rpm
-Increased compression to 11.5:1 (from 11.3:1)
-More advanced BMW/Siemens MSS 54 engine management control
-Finger-type rocker arms for reduced reciprocating mass and friction
-One-piece aluminum head casting for lighter weight
-Scavenging oil pump to maintain pressure during heavy cornering
The S50 B32 engine can be identified by the "BMW M Power" inscription on its cam cover, while the S54 motor contains only the "M" badge.
What types of electronic traction or stability control systems are fitted to the E36/7 M roadster?
All S50-powered M roadsters, as well as S52-powered examples produced before 9/98, are not equipped with any kind of electronic traction or stability control system. However, beginning with the 1999 model year, S52-powered M roadsters are equipped with Automatic Stability Control plus Traction (ASC+T) as standard equipment. The system applies the brakes and/or reduces engine power whenever sensors detect a loss of traction. ASC+T can be deactivated via a switch on the center console.
A more advanced system known as Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is fitted to all S54-powered versions of the M roadster. In addition to minimizing traction loss like ASC+T, DSC compensates for oversteer and understeer through manipulation of each individual brake as determined by sensors measuring steering angle, vehicle speed, cornering force, brake pressure and the vehicle's rotation around its vertical axis. The system is fully integrated with the BMW/Siemens MSS 54 engine management control, and its intervention can also be switched off via a console-mounted button.
What kind of gearbox does the E36/7 M roadster have?
All M roadsters use the ZF Type C five-speed manual gearbox with the following ratios: 4.21 (1), 2.49 (2), 1.66 (3), 1.24 (4), 1.00 (5). The final drive is either 3.23:1 (S52) or 3.15:1 (S50 and S54). A limited slip differential with a maximum locking of 25 percent is standard on all versions.
How does the chassis of the E36/7 M roadster differ from that of the standard Z3 roadster?
Like all Z3s, the M roadster's suspension is made up of MacPherson struts in the front and semi-trailing arms in the rear. However, compared to the six-cylinder Z3 roadster, the M roadster has the following modifications:
-Wider front and rear tracks (by 0.4-inches)
-Reduced ride height (by 1.1-inches)
-Modified front suspension geometry
-Firmer springs and shocks
-Thicker anti-roll bars
-Stronger semi-trailing arms
-Reinforced subframe
How does the chassis of the S54-powered E36/7 M roadster differ from that of the earlier versions?
When the M roadster switched to the S54 engine (2/01 production), the chassis was upgraded to the even stiffer springs and shocks developed for the M coupe.
What type of brakes does the E36/7 M roadster have?
The M roadster adopted the brakes from the contemporary E36 M3, four-wheel vented discs measuring 12.4-inches in the front and 12.3-inches in the rear. In addition, all M roadsters except those produced for the U.S. market were equipped with two-piece "floating" front rotors.
Why was the U.S. market denied the "floating" front brake rotors?
The U.S. market was denied the more efficient two-piece rotors offered in the rest of the world because BMW of North America was concerned that, if not properly maintained, the rotors presented the possibility of failing, thus creating a legal liability. However, M roadsters produced for the Canadian market were equipped with the floating rotors.
What are the factory wheel and tire sizes for the E36/7 M roadster?
All M roadsters use the same size tires (225/45ZR17 in the front and 245/40ZR17 in the rear) mounted on one of two versions of the five-spoke "M RoadStar" alloy wheel. Both are sized 7.5x17-inch (front) and 9x17-inch (rear), but there are two distinct finishes: Early M roadsters (S50 and S52 engines) feature a Chromeline finish, while the later models (S54 engine) utilize a darker Chrome Shadow finish.
What distinguishes an E36/7 M roadster cosmetically from a normal Z3?
The M roadster is based on the wider six-cylinder Z3 roadster body, but adds a more aggressive front fascia with brake cooling ducts in place of foglights, unique side gill vents with the M logo, chrome windshield washer nozzles, curved M side-view mirrors, a lower rear bumper with four exposed exhaust tips and a repositioned rear license plate (located between the taillights instead of within the bumper). NOTE: The M roadster was never updated to the reshaped rear fenders and taillights introduced on all other Z3 roadsters in April of 1999.
What differentiates the exterior of an S54-powered E36/7 M roadster from the earlier model?
Only two items differentiate the exterior of the S54-powered M roadster from that of the earlier versions: the Chrome Shadow finish of the M RoadStar alloy wheels and the subtly curved shape of the various "M" badges.
How does the North American-spec E36/7 M roadster differ cosmetically from the European version?
The North American-spec version of the M roadster is cosmetically very similar to the European version, but can be identified by its amber side marker lights (and turn signal lenses on cars built before September of 1998) in the front bumper, "free form" headlights in place of the ellipsoid units and twin side-mounted rear license plate illumination lights instead of the single bumper-mounted design.
What distinguishes the interior of the E36/7 M roadster from that of a normal Z3?
The interior of the M roadster includes several unique items: a chrome-ringed instrument cluster featuring red needles and the M logo on the tachmoter, three auxiliary chrome-ringed gauges in the center console, heated sport seats with special pleated leather trim (monotone black or two-tone), a 375mm three-spoke M steering wheel with tri-color stitching and color-matched accetns, an illuminated M leather shift knob with the M logo on the shift pattern and chrome boot surround, an oval-shaped rear-view mirror, Nappa leather door pulls and center console trim, chrome interior door handles and door sill plates with the "M" logo.
What differentiates the interior of an S54-powered E36/7 M roadster from that of the earlier models?
The interior of S54-powered M roadsters is almost entirely identical to that of earlier versions, with the sole exception of grey instrument faces with a revised typeface. Furthermore, North American-spec cars utilize a smaller rear-view mirror featuring a chrome surround and auto-dimming function.
How do the interiors of European-spec and North American-spec E36/7 M roadsters differ?
The only major item that differs between European-spec and North American-spec M roadsters is the instrumentation: On early (pre-S54) models, European-spec cars have a 280 kph/170 mph speedometer and a tachometer that reflects the 7,200-rpm redline of the S50 motor, while North American-spec models have a 160-mph/260 kph speedometer and a tachometer with a redline graduated between 6,500 and 7,000 rpm to reflect the variable redline of the S52 engine. And though all M roadsters include an analog clock and oil temperature gauge in the center console, the auxiliary instrument panel of S50-powered M roadsterscontains an outside temperature display, while the auxiliary instrument panel of S52-powered M roadsters contains a voltmeter. (NOTE: early-production S52 M roadsters were delivered with a passenger-side airbag deactivation switch in the central gauge position instead of the voltmeter, though one could later be substituted by a BMW dealer at the request of an owner.)
On all S54-powered M roadsters sold worldwide, the grey-faced instruments include a speedometer that is graduated up to 280 kph/170 mph, a tachometer with a 7,600-rpm redline and an outside temperature gauge in the auxiliary instrument cluster.
What factory options were offered on the E36/7 M roadster?
Depending on the market and production date, factory options for the M roadster included side airbags, headlight washers, power front seats, cruise control, power folding roof and the Harmon/Kardon audio system.
Are there any official special editions of the E36/7 M roadster?
No official special editions of the E36/7 M roadster were produced by BMW M GmbH. However, BMW Canada did offer a special edition of 12 identical 2000 M roadsters with BMW Individual Velvet Blue metallic paint and a BMW Individual Ink Blue + Black Nappa leather interior that included a bi-color Ink Blue + Black M steering wheel.

Robert Service has been re-elected chairman of the Mid-Antrim Combine.
There was a full attendance of Delegates from all member Clubs at the AGM of the Mid Antrim Combine held in the Harryville HPS Clubrooms last week.
Chairman Robert Service welcomed the members and then asked Secretary George McDowell to read the minutes of the previous AGM.

Small, quiet village 5km from Innsbruck and served by city tram. The former Olympic venue has a limited but varied ski area on the Patscherkofel - suiting families best and revolving around the famous downhill race course and a couple of blue variants. There are wonderful views of the city from the top lifts; good nursery slopes, newish children's area and terrain park at the bottom. The village is very quiet, but it is also home to the Olympic bob run, outdoor ice rink and a handful of hotels and teashops.
