Never Let A Man Hit You
Mama says, never let a man hit you. Never let one bruise you purple or crack your ribs like you are a wishbone. Never let him snap you in half, until your cryin in the street for help. Mama says, there will be none of that for you. I'll teach you how to poison a man before I let that happen.
When you are older, mama says, I will tell you the rest of this story. For now all you need to know is this. Once there was a woman, who was a little girl, just like you, but she dreams everyday about escaping her daddy's house. It's a dark house, not like ours. A house where all the kids run to hide when their daddy comes home. That's all I will say about that, except as this girl gets older, she tells herself that there's got to be better places. And when this girl is not quite a woman, she thinks she sees love in a man who looks nothin like her daddy. He's wiry and white, hair the color of dried out straw. Daddy don't like it when he comes around. She has to sneak out windows and back doors, but that don't matter when you think you are in love, but really you are in love with the idea of love and most of all with escaping.
One day the doctor tells her she's gonna have a baby. And even though she don't know what she's gonna do with a baby, she lets it grow big within her and waits and waits. But she doesn't let her daddy kick her out of his house. She leaves before he can say anything to her. And she is a little too proud of that fact, that her man says she can live with him. Her man is good at making all kinds of sweet sounding promises, that she lets herself believe in even when he grabs her arms a little too roughly, so that she can't help but tear up as he yells at her not to.
Mama says, back then this woman was young and dumb. Back then, she don't know much. She says, that girl-woman don't exist anymore. She's a buried bone, someone's half wish, a dried out seed that a hot gust of wind up and blew away. Mama says, that even a young girl like that can learn to say, enough is enough. Even if you don't say it outright because you're being kicked down, and don't remember how to speak. But you still have enough sense to call for help. And after that, that woman don't call that man, her man anymore, so when her daughter is born she don't have to call that man, daddy. Mama says, I tell you these stories so you know, never let a man hit you.

Aytun Çıray (born 1957, Bayındır) is a Turkish politician who currently serves as the general secretary of the İYİ Party since 25 October 2017. He is currently a Member of Parliament for Izmir's second electoral district, having first been elected in the 2011 general election. He is a former member of the Republican People's Party (CHP) and the Democrat Party (DP).

Early life and career
Çıray was born in 1957 in Bayındır, a district of İzmir Province. He graduated from Ege University Faculty of Medicine and specialised in internal illnesses. He later worked as an undersecretary to the Ministry of Health and as an advisor to the Prime Minister of Turkey. He later joined the private sector and held positions in the executives of Petkim, Erdemir and İsdemir. He was the chairman on behalf of Turkey during the 2nd Health Plan loan agreement talks with the World Bank. He can speak French to an advanced degree.

Political career

DYP, ANAP and DP
In the 1995 general election, Çıray became a prospective parliamentary candidate for the İzmir electoral district from the True Path Party (DYP). In primary elections to determine the party's candidate lists, he placed third but was knocked back to fifth place by the order of the party executive. His party did not receive enough votes in İzmir for him to be elected.

Çıray became a prospective candidate for a second time for the 1999 general election. He placed first on his party's primary list but was barred from standing by the DYP executive. He subsequently left the party and joined the rival centre-right Motherland Party (ANAP). Despite becoming ANAP's second top candidate for İzmir in the 2002 general election, the party fell below the 10% election threshold needed to win seats and was therefore not elected.

In 2007, Çıray joined the Democrat Party and stood for the party leadership in the congress the same year. Although he admitted that he was one of the three top highest polling candidates, he withdrew from the election after criticising the conduct.

Republican People's Party (CHP)
In the 2011 general election, Çıray was elected as a member of parliament for İzmir's second electoral district from the Republican People's Party (CHP). He was re-elected in the June 2015 general election and the November 2015 snap general election. He announced his resignation from the CHP in October 2017, accusing the opposition parties of being uninterested in formulating solutions for problems faced by voters.

İYİ Party
Çıray announced that he would join the new party being formed by Meral Akşener in an attempt to 'search for solutions for people's problems'. The new party was announced on 25 October 2017, with the name being unveiled as the İYİ Party. Çıray was appointed as the party's first general secretary by Akşener, becoming the first and most prominent CHP defector to join the new party.

DALLAS - Airlines used to give discounts to passengers who were traveling to a relative's funeral, but those days are just about gone.
Now buying a ticket to attend a funeral or visit a relative in the hospital is no different than last-minute travel plans for any other reason.
Among the largest U.S. airlines, only Delta Air Lines and Alaska Airlines still offer so-called bereavement fares. Those tickets, however, come with a big caveat.
"They are a very small discount off the walk-up fare" — a costly unrestricted ticket, said George Hobica, founder of the airfarewatchdog.com site. "Even if you can find one, they are not any cheaper."
@ISSUE: When will clouds lift on unfriendly skies?
AIRLINES: Newark airport flight limits eased
A spokesman said Virgin America offers 40 percent off, but the policy is not listed on the website of the smaller carrier, which flies to only 21 U.S. airports.
Whether you can find a bereavement fare to match your trip, experts have a few tips.
Pick the airline that is most flexible about changing the ticket in case that becomes necessary.
While more difficult to do in an emergency, be as flexible as possible with time of day, alternative airports and other flight details.
Packages that bundle flights with a hotel room are often cheaper.
It's obvious, but don't forget to check airlines and fare-tracking websites and Twitter accounts; you might luck into a last-minute deal.
Cash in your frequent-flier miles or points, although that is harder during busy travel periods like summer.
Bereavement fares were once common, even a part of the pop culture. An episode of the 1990s television show "Seinfeld" featured a character who tried to cheat an airline for a 50 percent bereavement discount — he failed.
Airlines believed people were scamming the system, and the special fares complicated the jobs of reservations agents. Grieving travelers were put off by the need for documentation like a death certificate. But the biggest cause of the bereavement fare's demise may be the growth of low-fare carriers.
"As low-fare carriers came into more markets, those bereavement fares ended up being higher than you could get elsewhere. It just angered people," said Brett Snyder, who runs a concierge booking service and writes the crankyflier.com blog.
American Airlines and United Airlines ended bereavement fares in 2014. Southwest Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Spirit Airlines and Allegiant Air don't offer them.
Bereavement tickets aren't dead yet, though. Snyder said one of his customers recently used one on Delta.
Bereavement fares might not be the cheapest, but they usually offer more flexibility to alter plans without a change fee — changing a cheaper, restricted ticket to visit family longer can mean an extra fee of up to $200.
Delta points out that consumers might find lower promotional fares on the airline's website or by calling the reservations center. Delta does offer more schedule flexibility for the return flight by waiving service fees, but the customer must pay the difference if they change to a higher-priced flight. The policy covers a funeral or visiting a relative near death.
Alaska Airlines offers flexible travel dates for people flying due to the death of an immediate family member. The ticket must be bought within seven days of travel. Passengers get a 10 percent discount off the lowest available refundable fare, which adds flexibility, said airline spokeswoman Ann Zaninovich.
"If it's the last minute and you won't need to change your plans, you could probably get a lower fare by booking a non-refundable ticket," Zaninovich said. "We tell people to call the airline and go over their options."
A search on Alaska's website showed the lowest price for a refundable ticket for a last-minute San Francisco-Seattle round trip on two randomly chosen dates was $423. With the discount, it would be $381. But nonrefundable tickets on Alaska were as low as $120.
Virgin America spokesman Dave Arnold said his airline offers bereavement discounts for trips within seven days. But passengers have to know to ask, and they must provide documentation.
Some other airlines, while not selling bereavement fares, have policies that might be a help. Southwest Airlines doesn't charge change fees, so a passenger can change travel dates without penalty. Frontier Airlines will let passengers change travel dates or destination for up to 90 days from the date the ticket was bought without penalty. In both cases, passengers pay the difference if the new flight costs more.

"If I had their money, I'd buy an island and sit on it all day!
Yas, all my life. All of it. Love it! Outside of Oxford, there's a weird world – they don't talk properly! They're thick – no offence! London's got nothing on this.
What do you love about Oxford so much?
So, you reckon the students are getting less friendly?
Do you think that divide's grown in recent years?
It's been going on for a while… slowly. I'd say over the last… probably over the last, like, four or five years? Students have been getting a bit – seem to be locking themselves into colleges all the time, they don't… See what I look at, I look at it straight, I do: if they don't communicate with people like me, homeless people, who are – we really are poor people – then when they go into the real world, they won't have a clue how to communicate, be stuck on their mobile phones, computers, haven't got a clue how to communicate. So if I was a boss for a company ,and one of them came in for a job, he wouldn't have a clue how to talk to me, wouldn't even know I was the boss. So I'd just say – no chance! And there's not a lotta work for students as there is anyway, that's for definite. It's wrong. They give them a shovel, I think, to pick their noses with. So they wouldn't have a clue.
-I'm here! I'm here. Always here.
You're always so great and supportive!
Go for it! It's free! It's free! This is one thing in Oxford that's free – swimming. An' that chocolate. Everything else you've gotta pay for! Pretty much everything, here.
So, is the meadow one of your favourite spots in Oxford?
Hello, how are you? You're out drinking again, aren't you?
I am, got 'em in there, got 'em but I'm… [Points at plastic bag.] cos I'm just having a chat, aren't I?
I'll see you crawling back that way when you're drunk!
So, it's this and the canals – the canals, I like boats! Love just watching it drift by… but here, you've got everything in the middle o' the city, and sometimes, a lot of people go jogging an' that, go walking, a lot of students talk to me, a lot don't, I'm not too bothered 'bout things like that, and you can… well… here we are now, having a chinwag! Great fun. And there's peace and quiet sometimes. Unless you get ten thousand billion tourists. Pretty regular. Pre-tty regular.
I think – I noticed- a lot of students do say that it feels like a bubble here. Outside, there's another world. It's completely different.
Is it very strange during the holidays, when all the students are gone?
It's worse – all the tourists take control. What they do, they rent out the rooms that the students are in, once the students have gone, they rent 'em out to the tourists and and all that, for summer schools and all that sort of stuff. They're always making money though they're skint. It's amazing that is. Amazing. All the money that they've got, and they've never got any money! Ahhh… boy, if I had their money, I'd buy an island and sit on it all day! Fire off fireworks all day. I'd open one pub. For me.
It's the dream. […] Is there much of a community in Oxford?
Oh yes! Local community? Oh yes. Lots. It's all over the place, but it's… You've got to be Oxford to know 'em, if you get my meaning. If I go to some pubs, I do, Christmas day, I go to a pub and everyone in there knows everybody… you know who they are, but you don't say anything about anything, you just have a good ol' chat and a good ol' drink. And relax – everyone knows everybody in there, an' I know that an' all… But it's a very closely knit, very secretive, weirdly… same as the colleges! You know, the colleges, what goes round in the college stays in the college, it's college stuff. And here, with Oxford local people… not a lot, but some are very – secretive, so it's the same sort of thing, you talk among yourselves, you 'ave a natter, yup. An' a drink!
What's the general opinion of the Oxford community on the student body?
They like 'em! They like the students, and the university, they like 'em! There's a mutual understanding between students and locals, it's a mutual thing. Oh, there's a lot of problems that go on, but you get that wherever you go – wherever you go! See, what a lot of us think: we don't want the tourists here. We prefer the students! They're more civilised, more refined, you have a better conversation out of 'em, and [leans in conspiratorially] nearly all of 'em speak English! It's true. It's much, much better.. And the balance is more or less stable – with all the tourists here, you just don't know who's who.
Go on, have a bit of chocolate. Go for it!
[After eating chocolate…] Do you mind if we take your picture?
Which way? [Poses, laughs] Oh my God… so everybody in Oriel College'll know me, and they'll throw me in the river? [General laughter] Great going, great going… I'll be down t' watch the rowing, down to watch the Summer Eights, and they're gonna throw me in the river again! Afternoon, ladies!
Go for it! Oh, yeah, which? – oh, I'll just be myself. I'll by myself. I haven't got a fag – if I had a fag, I'd light it up.
Not a chance – look at the colour of the trees, they're fantastic!
Don't like the rain. Snow is easy, cold weather is easy… the wind an' the rain are a nightmare. With rain, you can't get out of it – you stick here, you're stuck, you've had it.
So what've we got planned for the rest o' the day!? Fireworks, fireworks, or fireworks?
I think the fireworks are a definite..
There you go! Fireworks. And then the pub. Then a club!
That's a bad idea. Stay in bed. Tell the tutors an' that, 'Ah, I'm not going today', go in, stick your feet up on the desk and say: 'I'm just gonna relax,' and go to sleep. They'd probably throw you out.
The human brain – that sorta stuff. Anyway… the lecturer said, 'Should you be in here?' and I said, 'Well I thought they was goin' to a pub'. Then I went over and I drank, probably a glass of champagne at the end of the lecture with 'em, and then those – he turned round an' he said, 'Those who were invited, going to dinner,' as if to say, 'He know you – get out, you!'. How's that!?
Ohh… love it! I haven't been in Oriel College yet, though… should smuggle my way in. When's your next ball?
I gatecrashed – got kicked out twice, in Christ Church. Got through the gate – I was already in the gate. 'No way, David,' took me out . So I went back round, climbed over the wall and went in! But he went and spotted me again, so I said, 'how'd you spot me?', and he was in a state, he said, 'look at the way they're dressed, compared to you!'.
[Jogger comes by.] Hello, there! Good luck!
…An' after he threw me out again. I didn't try again, cos I knew I wouldn' get in. Didn't even get a drink! No booze? Oh, never mind – that's what we're up to today! Are you going jogging tomorrow?
Maybe… a bit cold now. […] If you don't mind us asking, how old are you?
I can't remember. One of 'em!
Have a good birth-week, then!
Aw, I get the whole week drinking! Cooooool.


Federal Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Darren Chester has approved $500,000 to commence planning for the upgrade of around 9.5 kilometres of the Bass Highway between Cooee and Wynyard to address road safety and congestion.
"The planning will identify options and costings to tackle safety and congestion issues along the highway, particularly during peak periods," Mr Chester said.
Senator for Tasmania Jonathon Duniam said the local community would celebrate this news.
"The local community has raised concerns about safety and traffic flows on the Bass Highway between Cooee and Wynyard during peak periods, and this announcement is the first step in addressing these issues," Senator Duniam said.
"The planning will look at how to best improve the Bass Highway through Cooee and Somerset, particularly at the existing bottleneck at the Cam River Bridge.
"It will also include a comprehensive road safety review, traffic flow study, bottleneck analysis and concept design options for future road corridor improvements.
The concept design and final planning study report are expected to be finalised in early-mid 2018. The $500,000 Bass Highway—Cooee to Wynyard Planning Study is fully funded by the Australian Government.

Condemning police violence against Gezi Park anniversary protesters
His Excellency Tuncay Babali Ambassador of the Republic of Turkey to Canada 197 Wurtemburg Street Ottawa, ON K1N8L9 Dear Ambassador, I am writing on behalf of Canadian Journalists for Free Expression (CJFE), a non-profit, non-governmental organization that works to promote and protect press freedom and freedom of expression around the world. CJFE condemns the recent police violence against Gezi Park anniversary protesters and journalists in Turkey. Over 100 activists who participated in the demonstrations at Istanbul's Gezi Park, in Taksim Square, were detained and at least six journalists were injured while covering the protests. Turkish police reportedly fired teargas and rubber bullets at protesters in central Istanbul on May 31, 2014, as the country marked the one-year anniversary of the most significant anti-government demonstrations in decades. A year earlier, what began as protests against the development of Gezi Park into a shopping mall evolved into broader fury at the suppression of the democratic freedoms of assembly and expression in Turkey. While reporting on the anniversary demonstrations from May 31-June 1, media workers were denied access to Taksim Square, while journalists were harassed and prevented from covering clashes between protesters and police. Among them was CNN International correspondent Ivan Watson and his crew, who were detained while reporting live at Taksim Square. Ahmet Şik, 2013 CJFE International Press Freedom Award winner and laureate of UNESCO's 2014 World Press Freedom Prize, was also reportedly beaten by Turkish police while documenting the protests. While Turkish authorities later released the CNN crew after validating their identities, in the days following the protests Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan accused Ivan Watson of being a foreign agent intent on exaggerating the anti-government protests and provoking unrest. A year after the Gezi Park protests, it is clear that freedom of expression and freedom of assembly are still very much under threat in Turkey. CJFE urges the Turkish government to release all protesters who were arrested during the recent demonstrations and ensure the safety of all journalists working in the country. We thank you for your attention and I look forward to your reply. Yours sincerely, Arnold Amber, CJFE President Cc: Mr. John Holmes, Ambassador of Canada to Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan The Honourable John Baird, Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs

Internationally awarded youth led Surrey based organization puts on successful online conference in-spite of COVID
Srusti Subash
Pre-COVID Spark group photo
SPARK Foundation Canada has hosted their, first of many, fully virtual conference Leaders Today! SPARK foundation is a non-profit organization made up of 16-23 year old leaders empowering the next generation through in person, and online life education: workshops, camps and community programs. They also work towards accomplishing the United Nations sustainable development goals: Quality Education, Sustainable Cities & Communities, Climate Action and Peace Justice and Strong Institutions!
The live event took place on Sunday November 15, with guest speakers Anjali Dhaliwal and Abhay Sachal. The audience hailed from all over the lower mainland ranging from students as young as 13 to 21.
Sarah Cheng, Volunteer Engagement Lead & Srusti Subash, Marketing Lead along with the efforts of Rochelle Prasad, CEO/ Co-Founder of SPARK Foundation, have meticulously organised this conference for youth in High School and University. It centered around an idea to inspire youth to engage in their communities amidst the pandemic despite the restrictions imposed on traditional volunteering opportunities.
Anjali Dhaliwal, CEO of Youth Helping Youth, was the first speaker introducing the importance of personal branding. She spoke intimately of personal experiences that led to her growth and success encouraging the conference attendees to explore new things and find their passion.
Abhay Sachal, spoke about his journey to the Arctic that incited the urge to create an international organization advocating for climate justice where he became Co-Founder of Break The Divide. Through various activities connecting with their audience, both speakers were exceptional in delivering their thoughts and empowering those watching.
The conference ran for 2 and a half hours with a fun activity midway through where participants were placed in breakout sessions and given the prompt: if your team owned a cookie shop, what would they name it? This activity brought about a variety of responses developed from imaginative or analytical points of view.
When the audience was asked what they thought of the event, responses were overwhelmingly positive. Viewers spoke on how the conference impacted them where they've realised "Climate change has inequitable impacts on marginalized and minority communities. Leadership requires truly genuine passion for building a better community, nation, and world because we want to make everything better than how we found it."
Aside from this conference, SPARK Foundation has provided youth across Canada volunteering opportunities through their General Ambassador Program which focuses on media and marketing, a skill set that has become extremely important to this generation.
SPARK Foundation has also contributed to their communities by organizing several Covid Relief Projects by delivering over 300 care packages of essential items to low income families and over 200 meals to essential workers in Surrey, BC.

2020 Vancouver Queer Film Festival Shifts to Digital Platform
Out On Screen Announces Interim Executive Director, Festival Dates, Gala Films, & Creative Design Tickets on Sale July 13 at queerfilmfestival.ca
(Vancouver, B.C.) – Out On Screen is proud to present a virtual Vancouver Queer Film Festival (VQFF) this summer from Thursday, August 13 to Sunday, August 23, 2020. Announced today, VQFF and Out On Screen as a whole will be guided by the leadership of new Interim Executive Director, Brandon Yan. Brandon has served as Out On Screen's Deputy Executive Director and was previously the Director of Education for Out In Schools.
"I am more than delighted to continue to be of service to Out On Screen and the communities I so deeply care about," says Yan. "In times like these, the importance of art and storytelling is even more apparent. We must remain committed to being a platform to uplift and celebrate the LGBT2Q+ stories at the margins."
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 32nd annual Vancouver Queer Film Festival has adapted to an online format in order to offer at-home audiences the best in independent queer cinema along with workshops, artist Q&As, panels, parties and – most importantly – the feeling of gathering with friends and kin.
Out On Screen is working hard to ensure this year's Festival is accessible and safe for community members who are immunocompromised or part of another vulnerable sector. Tickets for VQFF 2020 will be available to the public on July 13 at www.queerfilmfestival.ca. Tickets range in price from $10 to $14 with a special COVID19 access pricing ranging from $2-$5.
Curated by Artistic Director, Anoushka Ratnarajah, the theme of this year's Festival is "Still Here". "VQFF is on this August, and will feature films and interdisciplinary programming from queer filmmakers and artists whose work shows the many ways we fight for the fullness of our lives, for what and who we love, and for our shared futures," says Ratnarajah. "Our theme this year is 'Still Here', because our survival is an inevitable miracle. Nothing can stop us from taking root; we will always reach for the light and sky."
Illuminating and celebrating LGBTQ2+ lives in all their dimensions and complexity, VQFF is Vancouver's second largest film festival and the largest queer arts event in Western Canada. Welcoming its presenting sponsor RBC once again, this year's Festival will open on August 13th with a soon to be announced Opening Gala film and a virtual celebration of our local queer community.
The Festival's Centrepiece Gala film is Lingua Franca, an ambitious feature film that follows a trans Filipina migrant as she navigates being undocumented in a Trump-era America. The film is written, directed by and stars trans actress Isabel Sandoval, who will join audiences virtually to discuss the film in a digital Q&A.
VQFF will once again feature a variety of youth focused programming, including a Youth Gala screening of the inspirational documentary Changing The Game, which follows three boundary-breaking young trans athletes changing the face of sports in their communities and across the United States.
The Festival will continue to celebrate B.C.'s most standout emerging and established filmmakers with Festival favourite, The Coast is Queer – an evening dedicated to local talent. Finally, this year's VQFF will close with the heartwarming queer Muslim romantic comedy, Breaking Fast, directed by Mike Mosallam.
The 2020 VQFF program will be available online at www.queerfilmfestival.ca on July 13, 2020.

You are not logged in. [Log In] Team ZR-1 Corvette Racers Forums OBD-II Purpose of DTCs
#5368 - 12/06/21 06:57 AM Purpose of DTCs
When the original On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system was being designed, the groups responsible could not possibly have predicted the future changes to automotive technology, involving today's extensive computerized engine components, body, chassis, entertainment, comfort and emission controls.
The On-Board Diagnostic system that we take for granted now, was being developed back in the late 60s. The system was rudimentary, and there was no standardization back then, but slowly over time, OBD was regulated and standardized. California's air pollution concerns were a huge driver in this standardization, and in 1991, OBD1 was born. OBD has morphed several times since, and the OBD-II format we use today became mandatory for all vehicles manufactured in the USA in 1996.
OBD-ll created the standardized Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) that we are familiar with. It prescribed the dimension of the familiar 16-pin diagnostic connector and its circuit types, circuit location and signal protocols. OBD-ll even forced the implementation of Controller Area Network or CAN on all US manufactured vehicles in 2008.
The average vehicle today has a vast number of systems, sub-systems, controls, components, and features that may eventually fail and need to be diagnosed. Hooking up a scan tool and retrieving the Diagnostic Troubles Codes is typically the first diagnostic step that many techs perform.
But what exactly is a DTC that we retrieve?
The simple answer is that a DTC is the result of a failed test. Most of the control modules on a vehicle today will monitor and test many things from the circuits attached to it, the inputs that report to it and outputs and devices that it is responsible for.
This monitoring/testing of devices, systems and circuits allows the module to verify the integrity of those devices, systems and circuits to maintain their proper desired operation.
These tests that the module performs can include but are not limited to testing specific circuits for opens or high resistance, short to voltage, short to ground or signal performance. The list of tests a module can perform is long, and these are just a few examples.
If the results of a test performed by the module detect an abnormality, it may set a DTC or it may wait and perform more testing before setting a DTC. What the module does after it sees the failed test will vary with the manufacturer and the system that the DTC or failed test is being set in.
The original OBD-II DTC design designated that each DTC would consist of a string of five characters, and all generic DTCs are defined by the standards set out by OBD-II and European On-Board Diagnostics (EOBD-ll) regulations.
The regulations for a DTC code string are as follows:
Each DTC code will contain one letter, displayed as the first character of the DTC to indicate which of the four main vehicle diagnostic areas the failure is occurring in. These letters are:
P – Powertrain (engine and transmission)
B – Body (includes air conditioning and airbag)
C – Chassis (includes ABS)
U – Network Communication (wiring bus)
The second character in the sequence indicates if the DTC is generic or manufacturer specific. Note: This second character will have different meanings for each of the four main diagnostic areas.
The third character in the sequence can be a number or a letter, but if the DTC concerns the engine, transmission or hybrid controls and starts the DTC sequence with a "P," the third character will point to the area of concern that is causing the fault, but this only applies to "P" codes.
1 – Fuel and Air Metering
2 – Fuel and Air Injector Circuit
3 – Ignition or Misfire
4 – Auxiliary Emission Controls
5 – Vehicle Speed and Idle Controls
6 – Computer and Output Controls
7 – Transmission
9 – SAE Reserved
A, B or C – Hybrid Propulsion
The fourth and fifth characters in the DTC code sequence will represent the specific description of the failed component or system. These characters are numbered numerically and are shown as "00," "01," etc.
As an example, a code P0131 is a HO2S Circuit Low Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 1 for a 2015 3.6 V6 GM engine in a Chevrolet Impala.
We can see by the characters in the DTC sequence that the first character is a "P" for powertrain code. The second character is a "0" signifying a generic code. The third character is a "1" showing the system involved is the fuel and air injector circuit.
The fourth and fifth characters "31" show that the issue involves HO2S located on bank 1 in the sensor 1 position. The DTC describes the issue and the test that the HO2S has failed: The sensor circuit has low voltage.
When using this OBD-II specific DTC character sequence, there are more than 5,000 DTCs (both generic and manufacturer-specific) that can be used to indicate a failure in one of the four vehicle diagnostic areas.
But manufacturers have realized that this constrained amount of diagnostic DTCs means diagnostic restrictions and may limit the ability to fully diagnose the numerous systems that are on most of the vehicles being built today.
GM has started to use an enhanced method to aid in diagnostics by using a symptom "byte." The symptom byte is a sequence of two hexadecimal numbers at the end of the DTC. Currently, the symptom byte is being used heavily in the body, chassis, and communication group of DTC codes. But they are often shown when scanning for powertrain codes, especially when they are non-generic and manufacturer specific.
These two extra characters provide more information to the technician and the engineers that developed the systems at the factory. But the extra information that these two characters provide is not the only reason GM started to do this: It cuts the cost of developing huge diagnostic trouble trees, increases the number of DTCs that are available and reduces the number of unique DTCs needed.
Like other manufacturers, GM uses a DTC to determine the failure or issue of a component, wiring, signal or system. And using the enhanced information that a symptom byte provides, helps narrow down the type of fault. It also will start to allow remote diagnostics or over-the-air diagnostics in the future.
When using the enhanced symptom byte, a code C028A:02 Park Brake Motor Circuit is retrieved on a 2015 Impala.
We can see that we are looking at "C" chassis code that is "0" generic, but there is no other information provided by the code description. The code just tells us Park Brake Motor Circuit.
But the two extra digits (symptom byte) after the five-character code further explain the issue with the park brake motor circuit. In this case, the "02" signifies a short-to-ground issue.
GM uses nine symptom bytes categories and fault designations.
GM's service information (SI) contains a symptom byte list.
But it can also be found at most of our diagnostic information services such as Motor/Alldata and Mitchell. Using the search bar for symptom byte list when diagnosing a GM vehicle, the symptom byte list will describe and define what each symptom byte means and a definition.
The nine categories are:
(00-0F) General Electrical Failures
(10-1F) Additional General Electrical Failures
(20-2F) Frequency Modulation and Pulse Width Modulation Failures
(30-3F) Electronic Control Unit Internal Failures
(40-4F) Electronic Control Unit Programming Failures
(50-5F) Algorithm-Based Failures
(60-6F) Mechanical Failures
(70-7F) Bus Signal or Message Failures
(80-8F) Reserved
The characters in the brackets before the description show the range of characters that are used in each category. Many techs will already be familiar with seeing these numbers and letters after the familiar five-character DTC is displayed and may have wondered what they mean.
As an example, symptom byte 02 has the description of "short to ground," and its definition is "This subtype is used for failures where the Electronic Control Unit measures ground (battery negative) potential for greater than a specified time period or when some other value is expected."
The Parking Brake Control Module (PBCM) on the 2015 Impala has an internal park brake motor and circuit. To verify the proper operation of the internal park brake motor, the PBCM will test this circuit and if the PBCM detects a short to ground on this circuit during the test, the test will fail and the code C028A:02 will set. This failed test will also disable the parking brake and a message and/or a warning indicator may be displayed.
Here is another example of a symptom byte code and how it enhances the diagnostics of a generic DTC. A code B0955 is a generic body code for the Parking Assist Front Sensor Left Middle Circuit on a 2016 GMC Sierra pickup.
GM wants to use the code B0955 to represent all the failures that the Parking Assist Front Sensor Left Middle Circuit can have. They are doing this to simplify the diagnostics and limit the number of DTCs on this vehicle. This can be accomplished by using the symptom byte.
If the code B0955:04 is retrieved, we can see from the code format that it's a body code, it's generic and for the parking assist front sensor left middle circuit. But now the symptom byte is telling us that the circuit is open or has high resistance. We now have a simplified diagnostic starting point and will look at the parking assist front sensor left middle circuit trying to diagnose how and why the circuit is open or has high resistance.
By using the symptom byte, GM uses the same B0955 five-character code to represent five different codes.
OBD-ll trouble codes and their format were established to help aid the technician in repairing a failed system. This has worked, but it has limitations.
GM wanted to expand the available diagnostic code base without using a dedicated code for every failure, and the symptom byte allows this.
Many manufacturers are using some form of enhanced DTCs, and some are using a form of symptom byte to expand the diagnostic capabilities.
GM has been very forthcoming in sharing the description of their symptom bytes, but it is very difficult to find any information from other manufacturers.

Tribune photo by Don Cogger
Posted Thursday, September 13, 2018 8:00 am
The Panthers, led by dominating performances in the No. 1 and No. 2 singles positions, began the day with a clean sweep over Kelly Walsh 5-0. The afternoon's matches against Natrona County proved to be a little more competitive, with the Powell boys holding on for a 3-2 win.
The Lady Panthers struggled against Kelly Walsh, losing 5-0, before rebounding with a 5-0 sweep over Natrona County to end the day on a positive note.
"It was a good weekend, really," said PHS head coach Joe Asay. "I think we're in pretty good shape heading into regionals."
Panthers 5, Kelly Walsh 0
The Panthers swept all five matches against the Trojans.
Junior Jesse Brown had another dominating performance against Kelly Walsh's Buck Harris, winning in straight sets 6-1, 6-0.
"Jesse is just kind of rolling right now," Asay said. "A kid's gotta come with a lot of game to be able to do much damage there."
In the No. 2 singles spot, Panther Dylan Preator was also a victor in straight sets, beating Drew Rasmussen 6-2, 6-4.
"With Dylan, it's kind of the same deal, he doesn't have a lot of the tennis experience and a lot of time on the courts like Jesse does," Asay said. "Sometimes that shows up a little bit, but for the most part, he's just really dominant in his play."
The duo of Aidan Jacobsen and Grant Dillivan continue to play well together, though they were pushed to three sets in the No. 1 doubles spot by Austin Putnam and Jackson Catchpole. After winning the first set 7-6, the Panther pair dropped the second 7-6. They rallied in the third set to cruise to a 6-1 win and the match.
In No. 2 doubles, the relatively new pairing of Aidan Hunt and Jay Cox broke into the win column with a three-set win over Colten Allaire and Hunter Spangler 4-6, 7-5, 7-5.
In the No. 3 spot, Powell's freshmen combo of Logan Brown and Aiden Chandler downed Parker Phillips and Derek Robinson in straight sets 6-3, 6-4.
"The best thing I saw with those three doubles teams was the two freshmen boys [Brown and Chandler] to get out there and get a win," Asay said. "That was a lot of fun to see."
Kelly Walsh 5, Lady Panthers 0
The Powell girls found the going tougher against the Lady Trojans, who Asay believes may have just one loss. at the No. 1 doubles spot.
"They're a really tough team," coach Asay said.
Kelly Walsh freshman Finley Klinger made short work of Powell's Elise North in the No. 1 singles spot, winning in straight sets 6-1, 6-0.
"[Klinger], unlike Elise [North] has had some tournament play and match experience," Asay said. "But Elise got out there and played some points with her, and had a good experience against a freshman who can probably win this whole thing at the No. 1 spot."
In No. 2 singles, Lady Panther Sierra Sanders fell to Lily Putnam 6-1, 6-4.
"I thought Sierra really competed well in spots," Asay said. "She was in a position to try and take a set, but came up short."
The Kelly Walsh duo of Josette Bowers and Kylie Spangler took down Powell's Shayla Shoopman and Sloane Asay 6-3, 6-0 in No. 1 doubles, while in the No. 2 spot, Kailey Walker and Sage Dobby defeated Lady Panthers Ashley Dunkerley and Sophe Morrow 6-2, 5-7, 6-4. Powell's No. 3 doubles team of Hailee Paul and Sami Cole lost in straight sets to Sarah Griner and Jada Collins 6-4, 6-2.
"Kelly Walsh's one doubles team won it all last year, so that was a pretty tough matchup," coach Asay said. "My two and three doubles teams, playing these Kelly Walsh girls who have had such great success, really played deep with them. That was really fun to see both sets of those girls play well."
Lady Panthers 5, Natrona County 0
Unlike the earlier contest, the Lady Panthers were on the right side of a clean sweep against Natrona County, winning all five matches.
"That was a fun opportunity for the girls to finish out the day with a 5-0 win down there," coach Asay said. "They were great wins across the board."
In the No. 1 singles spot, North easily defeated Alexis Holscher 6-1, 6-0, while Sanders, in the No. 2 spot, didn't give up a game against Kayla Stibley 6-0, 6-0.
The No. 1 doubles team of Shoopman and Sloane Asay survived dropping the first set to Mikayla Colling and Reece Potter 6-4 before rallying 6-3, 6-2 to win the match.
"They [Shoopman and Asay] got off to kind of a slow start there in that first set, but got things working and finished strong," Asay said.
Dunkerley and Morrow rolled through Natrona's Kelsie Dickerson and Dani Busch 6-3, 6-1 in the No. 2 doubles spot, while in the No. 3 match, Paul and Cole made short work of Taylin Smith and Airieona Horn 6-1, 6-1.
"It's definitely nice to have those wins," Asay said. "It's been a fun trip. We have a lot of kids who are new to the varsity tennis experience, and it's great to see them really competing well."
Panthers 3, Natrona County 2
The Panthers had a little tougher time against their Natrona counterparts, but were able to win, 3-2.
"For the boys, it was a little different story there, a little more competitive in the matches," Asay said.
Brown and Preator once again rolled through the competition at the No. 1 and No. 2 singles spots. Brown was a winner in straight sets over Ben Radosevich 6-2, 6-1.
Preator had a little tougher test against Natrona's Brayden Busch, easily winning the first set 6-0, but dropping the second 7-5. Preator regained control of the match in the third set, winning 6-2.
"Dylan just kind of struggled a little bit, once again a lack of match experience," Asay said. "He struggled to finish his kid off in the second set and had to go to the third, but it was a good experience for him. He certainly recognized some of the things he needs to do differently to be able to get through and finish those matches."
In No. 1 doubles, Jacobsen and Dillivan were losers in three sets to Natrona's Max Radosevich and Carter Boatright 4-6, 6-4, 2-6; the No. 3 doubles team of Brown and Chandler also lost in three sets to Ryan Swan and Henry True 6-4, 4-6, 4-6.
That meant it came down to the No. 2 doubles team of Aidan Hunt and Jay Cox in the deciding match of the contest, and the pair didn't disappoint, winning in three sets 2-6, 6-4, 6-3.
"They [Hunt and Cox] gave us that third win, and finished the weekend 2-0," Asay said. "They are really coming through well. It was good tennis, it really was."
The PHS tennis teams are gearing up for the regional tournament this week, beginning Friday in Gillette. The results of regionals will determine seeding for the following week's state tournament, also held in Gillette. Last year's regional tournament was canceled due to weather, so Asay is keeping his fingers crossed that this week's sunny conditions will hold.
"Lord willing, we'll have some good weather. We haven't had that for the last two years," he said. "It's important from an experience standpoint that the kids get these matches in."

Wood disappointed Woods missing
Chris Wood would have relished the chance to face Tiger Woods in his WGC-Accenture Match Play debut on Wednesday.
Chris Wood would have relished the chance to face Tiger Woods in his WGC-Accenture Match Play debut in Arizona this Wednesday.
With Phil Mickelson deciding a fortnight ago not to enter the event , 22-year-old Wood knew when the world rankings came out last week that he would be the opponent if Woods came out of hiding and launched his eagerly-awaited comeback in the event.
What a media frenzy that would have created after all that has emerged about the now tarnished superstar, but the Tiger is not about to leave his lair and remains holed up out of sight and Wood plays Lee Westwood instead.
The two stablemates, joint third in The Open last July after both bogeyed the last hole to miss out on the play-off, were on the same British Airways flight yesterday.
"I would have liked to play Tiger," the Bristol golfer told Press Association Sport.
"It would have been one of the best chances to beat him in his first round back.
"I've never met the bloke. I hit balls next to him at the PGA last year, but he probably didn't even see me.
"I think it would have been a bit intimidating and I would have been apprehensive the first couple of holes, but once into it I'm sure I would have stepped up to it.
"And what a great opportunity – it could have been one of my finest moments.
"But I knew it was going to be either the world number one or the European number one, so either way a hard match.
"I don't know Lee that well, but I have played a few rounds with him. He'd be a big scalp for me too, of course – he's the second seed – and I can't wait for it."
Sixty-five places separate them on the rankings, but 18-hole match play lends itself to more upsets.
Wood, last season's Rookie of the Year in Europe, is also boosted by the memory of the Vivendi Trophy in September.
The 6ft 5in golfer was top-scorer for Britain and Ireland in their win over Continental Europe in Paris and had the chance of a maximum five-point haul – the first ever in the competition – until conceding a testing putt to Peter Hanson on the final green.
They were the last pair on the course and the overall match was already decided.
"At the time I thought it was the right thing to do to offer a half, but afterwards I thought it would have been nice to say I got five wins out of five.
"It was still a great week, though. That was a big occasion for me being in amongst those players in my first full year on Tour.
"They had only Garcia missing from their strongest possible team (Martin Kaymer was injured at the time), so to go through it unbeaten was great and I absolutely loved it."
A month later, however, Wood tore ligaments in his foot slipping down some steps and with a winter break as well this season has felt a bit like starting afresh again.
He managed top 20 finishes in all three legs of the Middle East swing, but Westwood was third in Qatar and then two weeks ago lost a play-off to Miguel Angel Jimenez in Dubai.
As well as it being his first World Championship it is also only the second tournament Wood has played in the States.
The goal is not just to knock out Westwood, but make further progress and climb into the world's top 50 for the next World Championship in Miami in three weeks.
But at least he is not also fighting for a place in The Masters in April. He will make his debut there thanks to his performance at Turnberry last summer.
Like Tom Watson, Wood could not believe his approach to the last went over the green. Also like Watson, he then failed to save par, but unlike Watson he did not have another chance over extra holes.
But after finishing fifth as an amateur the previous year, a tie for third place was a further indication of just how far he can go in the game.
As a win over Westwood on Wednesday would be.
When the final draw was confirmed on Monday seven of the top 10 seeds were from Europe.
Lee Westwood is seeded second, Martin Kaymer fourth, Rory McIlroy fifth, last year's runner-up Paul Casey sixth, Henrik Stenson seventh, Padraig Harrington eighth and Ian Poulter ninth.

Morgan Stanley recently published a report that argues the rally in European markets isn't over yet, despite recent Bearish activity.
Using data from the American Association of Individual Investors, one can see that the market has recently become very Bearish.
Here's the graph Morgan Stanley created from the data.
But this information is made more complex by another Morgan Stanley chart, which purports to show that this is merely a transitional period into the tightening phase that comes after the post-recession boom.
Morgan Stanley: Our tightening checklist helps us decide when to position for that next phase. We believe it is premature to call for the start of the tightening cycle, because some pivotal events to indicate the start of the tightening phase have not happened yet: for instance payrolls are still negative, Fed language has not changed yet, and budget deficits are still expanding, not contracting, in 2010.

Anthony Davis to Lakers gets major boost with massive Lonzo Ball development
Utkarsh Bhatla
The Anthony Davis trade rumors have been a little low profile in the last month or so. After hitting its peak in early February, when the Pelicans star had submitted a trade request, things have eased off now with the playoffs looming large.
Anthony Davis has been put on a minutes restriction by the Pelicans, a move that was expected, as the Pelicans need to ensure that their star man is injury free going into the summer.
With Davis wanting out, the Pelicans will want to cash in as soon as possible, as he would be hitting free agency the summer after this one.
Lakers have already shown heavy interest in securing his services and would be ready to put in a renewed trade package in the summer.
However, even Boston Celtics would be joining the pack, giving tough competition to Lakers, as reports suggest Jayson Tatum could be part of the deal.
One way or the other, the Pelicans are going to receive a lot of young NBA talent, along with the future draft picks, something that could sort things out for the franchise, keeping in mind a 10 year horizon.
Now, according to a recent report from Brandon Scoop Robinson of the Heavy; Lakers are in pole position to secure the Anthony Davis trade, with Lonzo Ball being a major part of the deal.
According to Robinson's source, Pelicans are still very much interested in the Lakers offer and want to pair up Jrue Holiday and Lonzo Ball.
"Internally, Pels are still interested in Lakers offer. But would love for Lonzo [Ball] to be a part of it. They feel he could thrive alongside [Jrue] Holiday. Fine with Kuzma/Ingram and think they could win with that roster next year." Robinson has reported.
Now, a lot has transpired since the Anthony Davis trade saga, as the Lakers have faltered heavily in their bid to make it to the playoffs.
With the Lakers now preparing for the draft, they could be in line to get one of the first few picks, something that could interest them more going into the next trade window.
However, the Lakers front office knows that in order to win a championship, they absolutely need to get another superstar beside LeBron James.
After a season of utter disappointment, it is up to Magic Johnson and co. to amend things and somehow get the players that gel with LeBron and are able to produce the desired results for the franchise.
Anthony Davis could very well be one of those players, but will the Pelicans trade him to Lakers if the Celtics put their entire young roster on sale?
Apparently, Lonzo Ball holds all the cards. Interesting times ahead.

The wicked flee when no one is pursuing [them], but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph! Is my father still living?" But his brothers were too terrified to answer him.
Then they will be filled with terror- terror like no other- because God will scatter the bones of those who besiege you. You will put them to shame, for God has rejected them.
People will go into caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the Lord and from His majestic splendor, when He rises to terrify the earth.
Terror, pit, and snare [await] you who dwell on the earth.

In response to mounting public anger over the toxic water being released along Florida's southwest coast, Governor Rick Scott has directed the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to issue an emergency order.
The order urges the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and South Florida Water Management District to take emergency action and redirect the flow of water out of Lake Okeechobee. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been releasing water from Lake Okeechobee into the Caloosahatchee River, the St. Lucie River Estuaries and the Indian River Lagoon.
Water from the Caloosahatchee River eventually flows back to the gulf beaches - bringing brown water and sometimes algae blooms to Southwest Florida.
The sugar industry has fought that kind of redirect in the past in an effort to protect crops. Governor Scott has received donations from the sugar industry in the past.


Did you see my blog post from Thursday? I shared several Quick & Creative CARDS that I made with the Painted with Love product suite. Today, I'm going to show you some boxes I made.
This first box is one of our Mini Pizza Boxes. The box is about 3.5" x 3.5" x 1". It's a perfect size for a small gift or treat. Do you notice that there are two colors of ink on the words on the heart? I first inked up the stamp with Melon Mambo and then I rolled the edges of the inked stamp on the Rich Razzleberry ink pad. I love the texture that the tinsel trim adds to the box, too.
Here's a side view of the same box.
Remember those Narrow Note Cards from my post on Thursday? Here's a box for them!
I ran the box framelit (shown on right) through my Big Shot twice and then attached the two pieces to make the box. Whenever you're making boxes, be sure to use a strong adhesive like Fast Fuse or Tear & Tape.
What's great about these dies is that even though they are bundled with a Valentine stamp set, you can use them to make boxes for any occasion!
I've got one more project to share with you from this product suite.....stay tuned!

Dogs: Would prefer a no dog home.
If you are looking for a perfectly mid sized dog with energy that still can relax at the end of the day with you, look no further. Lecia is a major mix of dogs (per her DNA test) from Doberman and Great Dane to Jack Russell and Siberian Husky. Each oneof the breeds make her a strong, independent, loving and smarty pants dog. She gets along with most nice dogs but if a dog doesn't like her she won't like them either so we recommend she is an only pet. Lecia loves when you sing to her (she has her own song in her foster family's house) and she will communicate back in her own innovative ways. She will knock her water or food bowl if it is empty and howl/talk to you when she needs to go outside. She would do best in an active family that loves to play fetch (indoor or outdoor) and cuddle when she is tired. She truly is a one of kind sweet girl with the most amazing personality.


Terry is the author of the phenomenally popular series of Discworld novels. He began his writing career at an early age with The Carpet People and continues to craft wonderful novels, mostly in his own universe, Discworld. While primarily considered an author of "humorous fantasy, Terry's works, while certainly very funny, contain a wisdom far beyond most "serious" fantasy novels. He has written for children as well as for adults and I think you would have to have no humor in you whatsoever if you don't laugh out loud at least once every novel. And "crivens' is not a swear word.

Ancient Chinese people placed a big emphasis on educating the younger generations, thus there are many feng shui cures for encouraging and promoting lifelong learning in children.
According to the bagua, or feng shui energy map, the West area of your space is the one "responsible" for the beneficial (or not) feng shui energy connected to your children's well-being. When treated properly, this feng shui bagua area can create an auspicious quality of energy that will encourage your child's love for learning.
1. Use the energy of the Metal feng shui element in your decorating. To strengthen this feng shui area, use the Metal feng shui element (colors white and gray) or Earth feng shui element (light yellow and sandy colors.) For example, you can go for a carpet with predominant earthy colors and white or cream color furnishings.
2. Avoid strong fiery energy in the decor of this area. The feng shui element of the West bagua area is Metal, so avoid the Fire feng shui element energy (in colors, shapes, images of fire), because in the cycle of five feng shui elements the Fire feng shui element melts the Metal feng shui element. On a practical level, avoid having red color on the wall, artwork with fiery energy or a big red sofa or a red or purple area carpet in the West feng shui area of your home.
3. Display your children's artwork. As the West feng shui area is connected to your children's well-being, it is recommended to have your children's artwork, as well as happy photos of your children in this area. You can display them in either white color or metal frames. The combination of these items will create a beneficial quality of feng shui energy in this bagua area called Children & Creativity.
4. Know how to use the energy of books. Display books in a visible and easily accessible (for the child) area. Ideally, a shelf full of books will be the first view your child sees when he or she enters the room. The books have to be placed on a child-appropriate height, as well as have a nice reading area close by with good lighting and comfortable seating.
5. Use the map of the world to expand your child's horizons. Display the map of the world, or a free-standing globe in either the North, Northeast or West feng shui areas of your child's room. This will encourage the feng shui energy of expanded thinking and a quest for a bigger vision of one's life. You can also encourage your child to create his or her own vision board, which is excellent feng shui.
First and foremost, though, be sure your child has a healthy room and is sleeping well. Growing up requires a lot of energy; provide them with the best possible energy to support a harmonious and happy growth.

Quite often I get the question how I plan my route and which roads I choose. Let me give you an idea of the process. I am in Shillong. I type "Kohima" (main town in Nagaland) in the Google Maps app. Google Maps shows me the fastest route: 12 hours riding time. Because that is too far to reach in one day, I search for a town located at about 6 hours riding and half-way on this route. It happened to be a place called Lanka.
So Lanka it was. Riding to Lanka from Shillong meant going straight through the jungle of Assam, yet another state in India. I followed a small road without any traffic, which was winding through the jungle. Large parts were unpaved and required serious off-road riding.
On the way I passed small villages were the people who heard me coming were literally eye-balling me. It seemed that I was quite the sight. A large motorbike. A foreigner. A woman. These three ingredients combined and they could not believe what they were witnessing.
I was so used to finding small shops alongside the road wherever I rode in India that I never carried a water bottle with me. A habit that I started to regret while riding this route. The sun was soaring, my throat got drier and drier and not a single shop in sight. When I spotted a bamboo construction with mountain water, I took the opportunity. It was some of the most delicious and clear water I ever drank in India!
When I reached Lanka after some 6 hours of riding - it was clear to me that Lanka was not a traveller hub. It was a scruffy little town and the accommodation fitted that image. But although the room was not great and situated right next to a Hare Krishna temple (which meant, hours of loud Hare Krishna chanting) - the manager was friendly and let me park my Basanti inside, next to the reception desk. Not having to worry about Basanti spending the night on the streets made all the difference!
After spending one night in Lanka, I backed Basanti out of the reception area and took off towards Kohima. The day started off quite alright, but as soon as I crossed the state border into Nagaland - things changed for the worse.
The main road was still under construction and was nothing but an unpaved, extremely dusty and bumpy road. I got several terrible dust showers while riding behind big trucks and could barely see where I was going. I was relieved I didn't dive off some cliff somewhere.
Upon arrival in Kohima - completely covered in dust but still smiling!
As if the road towards Nagaland wasn't bad enough, getting out of Nagaland and into Manipur turned out to be even worse! Upon my arrival in Kohima, it had begun to rain. The rain didn't stop for another 24 hours. Thinking about what this was doing to the roads, I didn't wanted to leave Kohima yet. But I didn't have much choice.
I chose to give it a try and see whether the roads were still accessible. It turned out the be the hardest day of riding so far. For hours and hours on end, I ploughed through mud, sand, water and potholes. I had to be one hundred percent focused, all the time. One single moment of drifting off could mean slipping and sliding down a steep drop.
Perhaps it was my lack of experience in riding roads like this, but I was riding so tensely and concentrated that I could barely move my shoulders when I finally reached Imphal at the end of day. Each and every muscle in my back was squeezed intensely tight together. It felt like I'd need 10 Thai massage therapists walking over my back in order to straighten them out.
… and riding out again.
I took 2 days of rest in Imphal after that eventful ride. The back pain slowly got less and suddenly it was my last day of riding in India. Except for a couple of weeks trip to Bangladesh, I'd spent the last 5 months in India. It felt like such a long time that leaving India the next day was a strange idea.
I didn't want to ride from Imphal straight to the border with Myanmar. I read in the Lonely Planet guidebook about a beautiful lake in the state of Manipur, only a 45-minute ride away from Imphal. So I made a detour to ride around this area called Loktak Lake.
Not quite knowing what to expect, the lake blew me away. Being the largest freshwater lake in North East India, it is famous for the phumdis floating over the lake: a mix of vegetation, soil and organic matter at different stages of decomposition.
The largest Phumdi covers 40 km2 and contains the only floating national park in the world on it! Several endangered deer species call this national park home. Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to try and get up close to the national park. The last stretch of road towards Moreh, the last town on the Indian side of the India-Myanmar border closed at 16:30 hours, so I had to make sure I reached it in time. But just riding around the edges of Loktak lake was rewarding enough!
When I reached Moreh I rode to the hotel recommended to me, but unfortunately it was fully booked. I tried at least 10 other hotels but they were all full as well. It was the first time on this journey that I struggled to find a place to stay the night without a reservation upfront.
The place that did have a room for me was extremely grotty. The price matched the quality, so on the bright side: I payed almost nothing. Win!
I can't say I slept well that night. It was probably due to a combination of an extremely uncomfortable bed and me worrying about the coming days. The crossing through Myanmar was going to be in a group. It is not allowed by the Myanmar government for foreigners to ride through Myanmar independently. That means that you need to have a government approved guide with you as well as a government official.
The costs of having the guide and government official, amounting to several thousands of dollars, are yours to pay. Unaffordable! So I had no other option than to join a group of riders, share the costs and ride together with them and the guide through Myanmar for the next 6 days.
