Argh! Too much for my brain So many different approaches!
First thing's first, 63mm minimum pipework is required the entire way from the outlet of the turbo to the throttle body.
76mm pipework isn't needed at all, anywhere, and just introduces a greater volume, and hence more lag, so sack that off.
This setup uses a 76-63 90 reducer directly off the core, all the rest of 63mm, the pipe run on this side can be used on a mk4 golf TB arrangement or an LCR arrangement, it's the same for either.
it's on the other side that things differ if you're using one of the two inlet manifold options.
This setup looks rubbish to me, whilst it's fairly smart, the use of all alloy hard pipes with silicon couplers doubles the number of joints needed in the system, so doubles the chances for a leak. by alternating between alloy and silicon bends, you minimise the number of joints required, so the system stands a better chance of being air tight.
Also, sticking in 76mm like the above gives a massive volume and lower air flow speeds which just arn't required - lag central.
It also leaves you with two MASSIVE pipes hanging out of the front of the car, very difficult to hide!
This again looks ugly to me, no need for such massive bits of silicon off the cooler, and the pipe run extends out to the sides more than it needs to, just looks messy somehow.
This one looks fairly nice, although without knowing how it connects into the charge pipe behind the headlight it's hard to say if there's room for improvement or not. Certainly neater than the silicon 45's option above, but it does include an additional joint which you'd obviously rather avoid.
This is my version of the Welly cooler, for the A3. This arrangement is for a ko3 framed turbo, and should work with minimal/zero trimming of the pipes/silicon. Ko4 fitment is slightly different, replacing the turbo outlet pipe with a 54-63mm silicon reducer.
it's a beast, and it's SUCH good value it's unreal.
To fit that, you'll need to cut the back of the crash bar out, but that's dead easy and takes 5 minutes with a grinder.
As for mounting height, I opted to hang mine with around 6'' of the core hanging below the crash bar, and this seemed to work well with the A3 bumper. You can bring it up a BIT more, but any higher and it fouls the top of the bumper and back of the grille, any lower and it'll hang out the bottom!
To mount that I used a length of 30mm Angle section alloy bought from B&Q for about £7. that's just secured on little bits of box section either side of the rad. All very simple stuff, you can see pics on page 26/27 of my build thread.
As for pipes, the cold side is VERY easy.
1x 63mm straight 100mm alloy coupler.
Reducer off the core > coupler to join up the next silicon bend, > then the alloy 90 takes you into the standard throttle body pipe. Simples.
As for the hot side, it's a BIT more tricky.
1x 51-63mm straight silicon reducer to go onto the turbo outlet.
1x 63mm straight silicon coupler.
51-63 reducer straight onto the turbo, pointing upwards.
> 90 degree silicon bend on the bottom, pointing outwards towards the pax wheel.
Although the connection onto the turbo is slightly different, because your turbo's sit a lot lower than my ko4 frame.
As for the clamps, I used JCS Hi-Grip stainless steel clamps, you need the 60-80 clips for all the 63mm pipework, 2x 70-90 clips for the core connections, and then a 50-70 for the turbo connection. Count the number of joints in the system to work out how many 60-80's you'll need, it's about 12 I think.
The core was £80, my pipes from Mr silicone came to £140, and I spent about £30 on hose clips.
Thanks Prwan for coming over a helping out . Ok I'll concede it's my inlet manifold that's on the wrong side.
I might have to re think/buy some of my pipe work as I was going to copy the one with the red hoses above!
03 210 Seat LCR. Badger5 V2.2TIP, Fordge 007p, Wellycooler, Quaife ATB LSD, Nuespeed ARB's, KW Clubsports, 330mm discs, 3" turbo back de cat and still on the standard map!
Wow, I've only made 18 posts and I've got a sticky result! haha.
Don't copy the red one above! doesnt look cool!.
Right hand side pipework is actually the same for either an LCR or a mk4 golf, regardless of inlet manifold choice, it's the left hand side pipework that changes to suit your needs.
I wonder why the SCNer's do it differently to you guys on ASN?
You don't have a link to that do you? I'm looking into this for my AUM at the moment, the only thing that is putting me off is that I want to be able to refit my lower bumper grills....I don't like the idea of pipework hanging out of the front.
Pics above are of James S3 install, the HYS plate car. No use to you though as you have an AUM.
My install above in replies #1 and #2 will work perfectly on an AUM, all you'd need to do it replace the 63mm 100mm coupler on the cold side with a 63mm forge MAP pipe to house your map sensor.
Is there Any way of flipping the charge pipe 180' to keep the dv and n75 take off's?


What if you knew a secret so devastating it could change your future forever?
What if the world as you knew it was about to be destroyed because of this secret?
What if your loved one was involved in this secret?
Would you keep the secret or reject your family's customs and how your civilization has ruled for thousands of years?
These are the questions Arius of Atlantis must resolve in the Science Fiction novel, Final Prophecy. At the moment of his world's destruction, Arius chronicles the events of his disastrous last two weeks from the unsettled safety of his wrecked light-ship. Since birth Arius has been confused about his role as the future ruler of Atlantis. He soon discovers that an impossible task bestowed upon him and his friends by his father will test his resolve and trigger his ancestral DNA. The secret of the four truths is one that all leaders of Atlantis must endure. To come of age, Arius must do what is to be, and to start what now must be finished. On his adventure, he encounters four near-death experiences that change him, empower him and bring him closer to his destiny, to be the next ruler of his civilization, or if he fails, the bemused master of his own fate.
Final Prophesy is a story about a planet and a civilization about to be destroyed by a cosmic anomaly, an asteroid the size of a planet called the Dark Heart of creation. The Ancient Ones,sentient beings with the power to engineer suns are in need of special genetically sequenced DNA which can only be found on this blue planet and until recently only from animal resources. For eons, these miracle-working cosmic star traders have meddled in the events of the development of the blue planet giving an appearance of judicious design, only to survive on the planets increasing meager animal DNA replication. It's not enough! There must be a massive harvest of Atlantiancitizens or the Ancient Ones will become extinct. Arius is about to discover this secret while on an unattainable mission for his father. Unknown to Arius, to become the next ruler of Atlantis his leadership DNA must be activated by completion of his families' ancestral test of four truths – an evaluation, "Mandate Four." This special, powerful, patrimonial DNA can only appear after four near death experiences. Nor, and the Ancient Ones want Arius to do what is to be, and to start what now must be finished. But Arius, with the help of his friends has a different plan.
Final Prophesy features a cast of unforgettable characters: the center of it all is Arius, the son of the ruler of the blue planet who since birth has been internally fighting Mandate Four and his destiny, to be the next ruler of the planet, the savior of the Star Traders, or a beloved musician;Drom, Arius's lover, is the one person who can keep him going, without her, he is lost; Yutana, assigned at birth to protect Arius, she will fight to her death to do so; a super intelligent crystal called Face, was once a slave of the planet, now a free citizen who has befriended Arius; the Ancient Ones, mysterious powerful star traders on the verge of extinction whose master plan for Atlantis is harvesting its citizens. And Nor, Supreme Magistrate, political wizard but a dysfunctional parent, must unexpectedly move ahead with the secret genetic test of his son - as his father and their forefathers did a thousand years past.
Also, interwoven within the novel are interpretations of some the more intriguing riddles of our solar system; technologically advanced civilizations that have come and gone – Jupiter's spot – the mysterious carved human head on Mars. . . . in this novel, no longer is our solar system of daunting size, mysterious origin and unfathomable purpose – Final Prophesy is the ultimate story where the laws of physics around our universe are rejuvenated. It is fast-paced, full of turbulent drama and high emotions. It is a spellbinding tale of insecurity, heroism and hope, powerful friendships and passion played against the awesome spectacle of a civilization's darkest event.

It's pretty chilly outside right? Take care and stay warm, especially those experiencing snow! This is probably going to sound a little strange, but I am so glad that it isn't snowing in London, just because everything would come to a stand still. I mean it will be a bonus to have the day off work etc but with it being quite a busy time of the year it would be annoying to not be able to get certain things done.
Sorry for being slightly off topic ahaha, this week I am sharing another smart casual outfit idea. As you may know I have a little obssession with cut out back clothes, and this top is the latest addition to my collection.
This is just another great way to show a bit of skin without being too revealing. The same goes for the cut out sleeves, plus it makes the top a lot more interesting. The other thing I loved about this top was it being chiffon. Probably quite a strange thing to like, but I really like the material as it is just so feminine and floaty haha. The problem with the split back is that it means tucking in isn't really a great option. But then again it isn't really that much of a huge issue. You may be able to see from the first picture that I've actually tucked in the front part of the top.
I hope you enjoyed reading this outfit post! What's your favourite fashion obssession at the moment? Are you a big snow person?
Have a lovely evening, and have a fantastic week - stay warm!
In love with your jeans, I need to invest!
Isabella I love this b/w look on you, it's kinda casual yet chic and somehow sophisticated at the same time. The top is gorgeous, btw! How is fluffy Alfie doing?
Love your new top x Very versatile!
I love chiffon its so flowy and nice to wear, beautifully cut blouse too.
wow looks amazing! I'd love to be able to pull something like this off!!
Backless blouses aren't my cup of tea, but I am in LOVE with the cutout sleeves on your top!
I love the spike necklace !! It's beautiful and can change completely an outfit !!!
Wow, so chic and cool. Love it all. You look so gorgeous! I also love cut-out clothes. Have a great week!
seriously i love your ankle boots!
I have to say, I adore your outfit so much. Everything about it! I need them heels in my life and the clutch! My current fashion obsession is anything tartan or check.
the necklace and the boots was so awesome!! I really love it!
I am huge fan of snow but haven't experience before!
Loving the blouse! That's a lovely Monochrome look indeed, love those shoes as well.
wow look really beautiful!! and the i really love chiffon so light and airy!

With the historically long period of low interest rates seeming to have no end in sight, an increasing number of institutional asset allocators are considering higher income earning investment areas. With strong and consistent returns shown in the high yield, multi-credit and emerging market fixed income sectors, asset allocators are faced with a growing array of choice. However, the same issues of appropriate manager selection, risk management plus the conundrum of in-house versus external management of fixed income investments remains a headache many asset owners are still to overcome.
The Investing in Fixed Income, Europe report will bring together those charged with investment selection to assess topics such as, developing a mid to long term allocation strategy, exploring higher returning fixed income areas, the balance between in-house and external management and a focus on new and emerging fixed income areas.

Red-hot Kane, Blackhawks carry strong trends into game against Penguins
OddsSharkMar 1, 2017, 11:09 AM EST
Not only will Patrick Kane and the Chicago Blackhawks get the Pittsburgh Penguins on the second night of a back-to-back, but they also take some strong trends into their home game against the defending Stanley Cup champions on Wednesday night.
The Blackhawks are the -130 favorite against the +120 underdog Penguins with a 5.5-goal total in their NHL betting matchup, according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.
The Blackhawks are one of the hottest teams in the NHL with a 9-1 straight-up record over their last 10 games; the OddsShark NHL Database also shows an identical 9-1 record in their last 10 home games and an 8-2 record in their last 10 home games against Eastern Conference teams.
The Penguins, who lost to the lowly Dallas Stars on Tuesday night, are 5-5 in their last 10 games where they played the previous day.
Led by the indefatigable Sidney Crosby, the Penguins are 38-15-8 this season, although a spate of injuries to several defensemen has contributed to them going 5-5 over their last 10 home games. Kris Letang (upper body) is among the defensemen out of the lineup and his absence affects the Penguins, who are 4-6 in their last 10 road games against Western Conference teams.
However, with Crosby and Evgeni Malkin as their top two centers, the Penguins are almost always able to generate offense. Recently-acquired veteran defenseman Ron Hainsey is also getting more comfortable with his new team.
Chicago is 39-18-5 on the year as it tries to chase down the Minnesota Wild for first place in the Central Division. Starting goalie Corey Crawford (illness) will be held out on Wednesday night with backup Scott Darling getting the call. Chicago is 11-5 in Darling's last 16 starts. One notable absence for the Blackhawks is that of defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson (upper body), who is out until at least next week. Chicago did swing a trade on Tuesday for veteran Johnny Oduya to plug that hole.
The Blackhawks were hot in February, with Kane scoring nine goals in 10 games while captain Jonathan Toews has seven in his last 10. With fresher legs than Pittsburgh, they stand a good chance of having the run of the play.
The total has gone under in five of Pittsburgh's last six road games on the NHL betting lines. The total has gone under eight of the last 10 games where Pittsburgh was playing the second of back-to-back games. The total has gone over in nine of Chicago's last 10 games, as well as seven of the Blackhawks' last nine home games.

It is quite presumable that you probably wish all those 700+ HD channels on your cable satellite service channel would be free. That is why you will readily fall in love with this newest idea of introducing a safe gateway from the massive cable TV bill every month.
For over a decade, cable television has always been the best way to get quality shows all over the US, of course at a cost. With the advent of the high-speed Internet as it is today, however, perhaps it is about time you cut that cord and once and for all get rid of the hefty cable television bill. It is true, some exquisitely modern shows that you won't like to miss serenade cable TV, but this alternative is as perfect as it is a suitable choice. Streaming is cheaper and more simplified than cable TV as it only depends on the internet, a resource that is quite pervasive today.
Are you wondering how to cut the cord and escape the urge to buy that expensive cable TV subscription?
With so many ways available today, choosing the most appropriate one can be utterly confusing. However, streaming devices and services are implausibly the most common way of eliminating cable TV and its subsequent costs today. Sling TV, the most attractive yet affordable streaming services provider, is one beneficial avenue. It is barely a year and a half since its inception, yet the buzz it has created is astounding.
Sling TV is quite easy to set up, surprisingly affordable – just $20 per month – and above all, comes complete with most of the top networks on cable. If you have a show airing on HBO and can't imagine missing out on each episode, Sling TV has it on-board as well. If by any chance you don't like it, however, Amazon with its over 40,000 hit TV shows and movies will utterly appeal to you. It is quite affordable and, much like Sling TV, airs in HD.
Netflix, Hulu, and CBS All Access are quite popular although it is agreeable that the $20 per month offer is simply the best. It is true, cutting the cord and forgetting that pricey Cable TV bill is a reality although you will additionally need an antenna for all those broadcast networks or a digital-to-analog converter box. The high-speed, affordable internet is available too, though streaming devices will just provide further thrill.
Whether you choose the Roku 4 Streaming Media Player, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, or any one of the many affordable devices out there, you will be certainly at a profit. Many have done it, and the number is drastically rising, meaning that Cable TV's days are numbered. Cut the cord today!

Poland has passed a law restricting freedom of assembly at this year's international climate summit in Katowice. Moreover, police will have the power to collect and use information on conference participants in the name of security. They could get it directly from the UN Climate Secretariat.
Once a climate frontrunner, Germany's failure to cut emissions in transport and agriculture means it will fall short of its contribution to the EU's 2020 climate targets. It may now have to buy its way out.
Storage technology, decentralised expansion of renewables and regional price signals can help reduce the need for new power lines – without slowing the pace of the energy transition.
Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs has settled a dispute with the European Commission over the compliance of German energy legislation with European state aid rules. Specifically, the dispute involved the country's Combined Heat and Power Act, Electricity Market Act and Renewable Energy Sources Act.
After the UK elections, the surprising victory of incumbent Prime Minister David Cameron not only threatens Great Britain's EU membership. Renewable energies and onshore wind in particular, may also face hard times ahead.

Payment Plan(76)
2019 PROOF SILVER DOLLAR – THE 75th ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY
A MOMENT IMMORTALIZED, A MYSTERY SOLVED
A nervous Canadian soldier glances over his shoulder, acknowledging a friendly pat on the back as he prepares to step off the landing craft onto Juno Beach. This fleeting moment, captured in rare footage taken during the D-Day invasion of June 6, 1944, served as the inspiration behind the Royal Canadian Mint's 2019 proof silver dollar. And as Mint product managers Alicia Cook Sapene and Jamie Desrochers discovered, there was a lot more to that soldier's story than they could have imagined.
To mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day, the Mint set out to create a coin that would pay tribute to all of the Canadians who stormed the beaches of Normandy, France — and helped change the course of the Second World War. Upon re-watching the D-Day footage and seeing the mix of courage, fear and determination on the face of the soldier, Cook Sapene and Desrochers knew right away it was the perfect scene to feature on this year's proof silver dollar.
"It's an incredibly powerful image because it gives us the human perspective on D-Day," says Cook Sapene. "Here's this young man, reluctant to step out of the landing craft, getting the support he needs to continue."
Drawing inspiration from that footage as well as the logo of the Juno Beach Centre Association (JBCA), Mint artist Tony Bianco designed a coin that re-creates the scene, featuring a soldier loosely based on the one seen in the film — one who would be emblematic of all Canadian soldiers and could be used across a series of coins commemorating the Normandy campaign.
But just a few weeks before the proof silver coin's launch, Cook Sapene received something that would forever change the way she and Desrochers looked at their coin: a soldier's name.
THE OBSESSION BEGINS
Unexpectedly, the JBCA forwarded an article to the Mint that identified the soldier in the footage — and the inspiration for the coin — as Private Baker from A Company of New Brunswick's North Shore Regiment. Even with the coin's launch fast approaching, the team knew they couldn't let this story pass them by. There were so many questions that needed to be answered. Did Pte. Baker survive the war? Was he still alive? Did he have a family?
"Once we found out about the name, it became a mission for us internally at the Mint," says Cook Sapene. "We were all quietly obsessed with this story, wanting to learn more."
With just a last name to work from as her starting point, Cook Sapene reached out to as many of the Mint's contacts as possible, including experts at the JBCA, the Department of National Defence, Veterans Affairs Canada and others.
First, the Mint contacted Dr. Stephen Harris from the Canadian Armed Force's Directorate of History and Heritage as well as Dr. Mike Bechthold, Executive Director of the JCBA. They quickly spread word that the Mint was looking for more information about the young man featured in the D-Day footage. Canadian military and navy historian Dr. Marc Milner of the University of New Brunswick; Canadian Armed Forces veteran Gary Silliker; amateur military historian Bruce Morton from Barrie, Ontario; and Brandon Savage, a teacher at Miramichi Valley High School, New Brunswick, all stepped up to the plate to fill in the gaps in Pte. Baker's story.
A major breakthrough came when Dr. Milner's search of military records revealed a pair of initials to go along with Pte. Baker's last name — G.H. — as well as a service number, F56627. And because service numbers had letters before them to identify where the soldier had enlisted, Silliker was able to confirm that the "F" meant Pte. G.H. Baker had enlisted in either Nova Scotia or Prince Edward Island, allowing the team to concentrate its efforts on those two provinces.
With this information in hand, Dr. Milner went through Veterans Affairs Canada data to discover both a birth and death date for Pte. G.H. Baker. He had been born in Nova Scotia on August 31, 1923, and died on July 23, 2003, in South Brookfield, Nova Scotia. So he survived not only through the D-Day invasion but the rest of the war as well — and lived a long life well after.
Building on the research of Dr. Milner and Silliker, Morton was then able to confirm that there was only one soldier of the North Shore Regiment with the surname Baker to land on Juno Beach, a positive indicator that they had indeed found the Pte. Baker who appears in the film footage.
"It was like a puzzle, all the pieces came together very slowly," recalls Desrochers. "But this story was so contagious. Everyone went the extra mile to help us find out just who Pte. Baker was."
Finally, Savage searched through Nova Scotia burial databases, eventually coming across a tombstone for a George Herman Baker. And by looking though a database of obituaries, he was able to find something more: the names of Pte. Baker's family.
CONNECTING PAST AND PRESENT
Savage reached out to Pte. Baker's daughter, Karen McLeod, in Liverpool, Nova Scotia. Surprisingly, she had never seen the footage taken during the landings at Juno Beach. Pte. Baker never really spoke about the war — so the film showed McLeod a whole side of her father she had never seen before.
"It's remarkable, really," says McLeod, recalling the first time she watched the D-Day footage. "All of a sudden you see your father, at the age of 20, but from 75 years ago, sitting in front of you. It's amazing."
McLeod says the silver proof dollar is an overwhelming tribute to her father and to all who fought during the war. She's also grateful the Mint is telling the story behind that iconic moment.
"It's important to me as my father's daughter," she says. "But I also want everybody to know how important the Second World War was. People went to it and gave their lives — and those who came back home, often didn't come back to a normal life."
After viewing the film and comparing it to photos of her father as a young man, McLeod was able to officially confirm that the soldier receiving the pat on the back and glancing back at the camera was indeed her father. Soon after, McLeod's son contacted the Mint to share a few more pieces of the puzzle. He had hung onto photos taken of his grandfather after he had enlisted as well as service medals and war records, all which further confirmed the identity of the young man preparing to jump into the waters of Normandy.
A CAREER HIGHLIGHT
For Cook Sapene and Desrochers, creating the 2019 proof silver dollar was more than a job. It was a mission: to fill in a missing part of history and tell a story that had not yet been told.
"Because so few veterans from the Second World War are still alive, it's getting harder to tell their stories and really know what it was like back then," says Desrochers. "This was already such a beautiful coin. But now when I look at, I'll never forget the story behind it. It's all I thought about for a couple of weeks. We just had to tell it to the world. It's definitely one of the highlights of my career."
Cook Sapene agrees.
"This coin has so much more meaning now, going from an emblematic soldier to somebody who has a name and a family," she says. "This has been, without a doubt, one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had working at the Mint."

The Church's Statement on Race and the Priesthood
May 16, 2014 /1 Comment/in Blacks and the Priesthood/by Jimmy
Since The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints released a new statement on Race and the Priesthood in December 2013, there has been a lot of discussion on the subject. Many people have rightly praised the statement for setting straight some false concepts that had crept into the Church. Many, in my view, have also jumped to some conclusions that may or may not be well founded.
Below is a summary of the Chursh's statement on Blacks and the Priesthood, and as a bonus, some of my thoughts and analysis on the subject. Most important is that future missionaries read the statement, do some follow up study of the scriptures and other sources cited, and be prepared to discuss the subject when and if it comes up during their missions.

statement on Blacks and the Priesthood
Highlights from the Church's Statement on Blacks and the Priesthood
The statement from the Church on Blacks and the Priesthood is 4 pages (6 with footnotes). I encourage you to read the statement in its entirety, but here are some of the quotes that stood out to me most:
"For much of its history—from the mid-1800s until 1978—the Church did not ordain men of black African descent to its priesthood or allow black men or women to participate in temple …ordinances."
"During the first two decades of the Church's existence, a few black men were ordained to the priesthood. One of these men, Elijah Abel, also participated in temple ceremonies. …There is no evidence that any black men were denied the priesthood during Joseph Smith's lifetime."
"In 1852, President Brigham Young publicly announced that men of black African descent could no longer be ordained to the priesthood. …subsequent Church presidents restricted blacks from receiving the temple [ordinances]. …Over time, Church leaders and members advanced many theories to explain the priesthood and temple restrictions. None of these explanations is accepted today as the official doctrine of the Church."
"President Young said that at some future day, black Church members would 'have [all] the privilege and more' enjoyed by other members."
"The justifications for this restriction echoed the widespread ideas about racial inferiority that had been used to argue for the legalization of black 'servitude' in the Territory of Utah. According to one view, which had been promulgated in the United States from at least the 1730s, blacks descended from the same lineage as the biblical Cain, who slew his brother Abel. Those who accepted this view believed that God's 'curse' on Cain was the mark of a dark skin."
"The curse of Cain was often put forward as justification for the priesthood and temple restrictions. Around the turn of the century, another explanation gained currency: blacks were said to have been less than fully valiant in the premortal battle against Lucifer and, as a consequence, were restricted from priesthood and temple blessings."
In the 1950s, "Church President David O. McKay emphasized that the restriction extended only to men of black African descent. The Church had always allowed Pacific Islanders to hold the priesthood, and President McKay clarified that black Fijians and Australian Aborigines could also be ordained to the priesthood."
"Given the long history of withholding the priesthood from men of black African descent, Church leaders believed that a revelation from God was needed to alter the policy… After praying for guidance, President McKay did not feel impressed to lift the ban."
"While there were no limits on whom the Lord invited to 'partake of his goodness' through baptism, the priesthood and temple restrictions created significant barriers, a point made increasingly evident as the Church spread in international locations with diverse and mixed racial heritages."
"Church leaders pondered promises made by prophets such as Brigham Young that black members would one day receive priesthood and temple blessings. In June 1978, after 'spending many hours in the Upper Room of the [Salt Lake] Temple supplicating the Lord for divine guidance,' Church President Spencer W. Kimball …received a revelation. …The revelation rescinded the restriction on priesthood ordination. It also extended the blessings of the temple to all worthy Latter-day Saints, men and women."
"The Church began priesthood ordinations for men of African descent immediately, and black men and women entered temples throughout the world. Soon after the revelation, Elder Bruce R. McConkie, an apostle, spoke of new 'light and knowledge' that had erased previously 'limited understanding.'"
"Today, the Church disavows the theories advanced in the past that black skin is a sign of divine disfavor or curse, or that it reflects actions in a premortal life; that mixed-race marriages are a sin; or that blacks or people of any other race or ethnicity are inferior in any way to anyone else. Church leaders today unequivocally condemn all racism, past and present, in any form."
"The Church proclaims that redemption through Jesus Christ is available to the entire human family on the conditions God has prescribed. It affirms that God is 'no respecter of persons' and emphatically declares that anyone who is righteous—regardless of race—is favored of Him."
What the Church's Statement Says and Does Not Say
The statement is clear on where the Church stands on this issue today. Race and national descent is not a factor in receiving the priesthood or receiving temple ordinances. The whole human family are children of God, he loves them all equally and invites all people, regardless of race or national origin, to come unto Christ, receive the ordinances of salvation, and partake of the blessings of the gospel here on earth and in Heaven.
The statement is sufficiently vague, though, on the history of the practice and particularly the reason for the priesthood and temple restrictions. While it is easy to jump to other conclusions, the Church gives no official reason of why the priesthood restriction was in place. While it denounces previous explanations put forth by Church members and leaders, such as racial inferiority, lack of premortal valiance, and a curse as manifested by dark skin, no official explanation for the former policy is given.
The discussion of the reason for the restriction is sufficiently vague as to allow multiple interpretations. It would be easy for readers to interpret the statement as saying that the Church today believes that Brigham Young was wrong in putting the priesthood restriction in place. Yet the article never comes out and says that the priesthood restriction was improper or racist. In fact, it goes to great length to point out that the restriction was not based solely on race, but on a combination of race and nationality (Africa descent). Therefore, one could also interpret the statement as saying there is no reason to believe the policy was not a result of divine inspiration to Brigham Young and the subsequent prophets and presidents of the Church.
The full reason for the restriction may never be known while we live on this earth. Each one of you will have to decide for yourself, if knowing the reason is important to you. What's important to me is that we have the light and knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ through the scriptures, living prophets, and inspiration from the Holy Spirit. The Lord works in mysterious ways, and he is certainly doing a marvelous work and a wonder on the earth today. The blessings of the gospel are infinite and they can be enjoyed on earth and last throughout eternity. And missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have the wonderful opportunity to bring these blessings to all the peoples of the earth.

When we let things in the gospel that seem strange or questionable block our spiritual progress and relationship with the Lord, think of Proverbs 3:5. It simply states, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." It is a huge pride-eraser.
We can also look at LDS.org under the search of "race and the priesthood", and watch the video labeled "A New Day". It is a true, honest testament of the power of the gospel and the remarkable strength and testimonies given by members of African descent.

The Deplorable Situation of the ISU
by Cecile Daniker Rusch
When I was completing in the 1960's the ISU was considered a distinguished international organization toward which skaters and their coaches could turn when in doubt when they needed to have a final decision for tests, judging and competitions.
Some considered that it was rather "stodgy" and slow to move forward, old fashioned. However, no one considered it unreliable. Today, the situation is quite the opposite. The present president of the ISU, Ottavio Cinquanta has taken the entire organization into his hands. This is a very dangerous position for an international organization. As a matter of fact, if such a situation continues the meaning of international union becomes completely obsolete. Under such "leadership" the union members should seriously consider leaving this organization and forming a new one where they will be consulted.
Young skaters need to have an example to look up to. At present, this is far from possible. The ISU has lost television coverage with the "new" IJS since it is totally incomprehensible to the public. Along with this the IJS has forced the skaters to all do the same moves in order to achieve points thus eliminating the artistic aspect of figure skating which was one of its drawing points for the television public. This has diminished the television revenue which helps to finance the competitions.
However, to make matters worse, the new ISU regulations: 1561, 1562 and 1563 will now eliminate the desire of young people to enter competitions in the sport and in the end there will not be any skaters to film for television!
Arbitrarily reducing the number of skaters during a competition is not a solution to reducing the number of contenders. This could be done otherwise before the competition. All those who qualify to enter a competition should be able to skate to the end and this in the same time span; not one group in the afternoon and a second group in the evening. Of course the host member should be able to enter their representatives. One cannot ask a country to host an event with all that implies in organization and finance and not let the host enter his skaters.
If as is the case, there are too many contenders for the top international competitions, then regional competitions must be organized to make a selection for the major international events.
Yes, there is an international financial crisis but the downturn of public viewing popularity came before this crisis and is largely due to the 2002 scandal which was poorly handled by the ISU leadership. Instead of ousting from its ranks on a permanent basis the persons involved with the judging scandal, the ISU has allowed these persons to remain in its ranks and it put up a huge smoke screen with the change in the judging system which was not at all the cause of the 2002 scandal. The idea of reducing the number of judges in the future for "economic reasons" will only make unfair decisions more frequent, thus producing more scandals and discredit the sport completely.
The future of the entire sport is now seriously in question. The consulting members should realize that they are now at a cross road. Either they regain some say and control of the union or it will be necessary to found a new union if they wish to give their young skaters a chance to compete in a sport where they can look up to and respect the governing body of the sport.

Kylie Jenner Kisses Travis Scott After Nicki Minaj Shades the Couple Again
By Rachel McRady 5:32 AM PDT, August 22, 2018
Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott aren't letting Nicki Minaj's shade get them down!
Just a day after attending the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards, the pair seemed more smitten than ever while out and about in New York City. Sharing a sweet smooch on the street with her guy, Jenner rocked a white strapless mini-dress with small shades while Scott sported a colorful tie-dye shirt and black hat.
The 21-year-old cosmetics queen has been loving all-white looks lately. After sporting a white dress to the VMAs and while out in NYC, she also posed in an off-the-shoulder white style that she shared with her Instagram followers.
Scott, 26, was clearly impressed with the outfit, commenting on one pic: "Meal not a snack."
After his performance at the VMAs, Scott showed up to Drake's concert in Toronto, the "Nice for What" rapper's hometown. The duo excited the crowd when they performed "Sicko Mode" at the show.

Both Scott and Drake have been called out by Nicki Minaj, but the "Barbie Dreams" rapper has taken a special interest in Scott, whose album, Astroworld, was deemed No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart following the release of Minaj's album, Queen.

After previously slamming him and Jenner on Twitter, she went even further on Tuesday's episode of Queen Radio on Apple Music's Beats 1. Minaj accused Scott of using Jenner's fame to promote his new music, and also had a problem with him selling merchandise and tickets for his upcoming tour with album downloads and having those count as album sales.
"What we're not gonna do is have that auto-tune man selling f**king sweaters telling you he sold half a million albums, because he f**king didn't," she exclaimed. "You stupid f**k. You got your f**king homeboy talking for you and you got your girlfriend selling tour passes. Stop it. Knock it the f**k off."

Germany Set to Extend EV Incentives to 2025
Original plan called for incentives to expire next year.
by Joseph Szczesny | Nov 30, 2020
German Chancellor Angela Merkel once told automakers they faced a "Herculean task" trying to mitigate climate change.
German carmakers have made major investments in electric vehicles and now the German government is preparing to help sell those new EVs with a new round of incentives.
Earlier this month, Germany rolled out a program that extends its environmental subsidies for electric vehicles until 2025. The incentives had been scheduled to sunset at the end of 2021. But the German government also is considering dropping the incentives for hybrids and plug-in hybrids by the end of 2022.
The program also is expected to include a scrappage scheme for older diesel trucks of which there are many in service on German roads, according to various media reports in the German media.
(Electrified vehicles top registration of diesels in Europe for the first time.)
Mercedes and BMW would benefit from an extension of EV subsidies in Germany.
European carmakers are facing tough new restrictions on emissions of greenhouse gasses. In addition, various cities in Germany have also begun to restrict the use of vehicles equipped with internal combustion engines, particularly diesel engines. Incentives have already helped boost the sales of EVs in Germany, according to Reuters.
Multiple media reports claim the German government is ready to increase incentives for electric vehicle subsidies by 50% between now and 2025.
Fitch Solutions, the analysis division of Fitch Rating Services, estimates the "long-term outlook for EV sales" in Germany is bright. However, the sales of plug-in hybrids are expected to falter and lose market share, according to a new analysis by Fitch.
(EVs on track to triple European market share this year.)
"We believe that extending the incentives will sustain robust growth in Germany's EV segment, despite the staged decline in incentives. Furthermore, from 2022 onwards we believe that the market share of hybrid vehicles will drop to a new low as they are excluded from the incentive scheme," the Fitch report noted.
Mercedes diesels were wildly popular in the 1970s and '80s, and they are no longer welcome in Hamburg, Germany.
"Our EV sales forecast methodology places significant weighting in the level of incentives offered for the segment as it is a major driver in EV demand, thus extending the EV incentives to 2025 will have a pronounced impact on our forecast. We have therefore revised up our longer-term (2022-2025) EV sales forecast to growth of 23.2%, up from 19.5% previously," the Fitch report added.
Fitch analysts also expect plug-in hybrid electric vehicle sales to account for around 25% of total EV sales in 2022, down from our previous forecast of 37.5% of total EV sales.
(Hamburg, Germany becomes first European city to ban older diesels.)
In the U.S. the incoming administration of President-elect Joe Biden is expected to endorse additional incentives for EVs, perhaps starting with a plan to provide the $7,500 tax credit without quotas by brand, which would be good news for Tesla and General Motors, as well as new investment in the infrastructure of electric vehicle charging.

The police in Lagos state have arraigned 23-year-old hairdresser, Opeyemi Adamson, before the Ebute-Metta magistrate court for allegedly killing her neighbour, 28-year-old Taiwo Olowookere, at their home in the Meiran area of Lagos State.
According to Punch, the suspect's mother in-law had accomodated the deceased after she got separated from her husband. Opeyemi and the deceased have had repeated clashes and have nursed animosity against each other over time.
Trouble started on August 24th when the deceased told the suspect that her eight-month-old baby was making so much noise which was disturbing her.
This got Opeyemi angry and the women began to quarell. In the course of them exchanging words, Opeyemi allegedly stabbed Taiwo on the neck after she, Taiwo, called her a shaku-shaku woman (useless person).
Taiwo was taken to a local medical centre where she was treated until her death.
When interrogated, Opeyemi said she stabbed the deceased in self defense. She blamed the husband of the deceased for her death.
Sunday Olowookere, a factory worker, who is the husband of the deceased, admitted that he and his deceased wife had disagreements but that they had settled their diffrences just before she died.
"My wife and I had a misunderstanding over her attitude. She became annoyed and left for the house of a co-trader. A SARS officer intervened and I was asked to sign an undertaking that I would never lay hands on her again, which I did. We both made statements at a police station and I thought it was over, but she said she was not ready to follow me home; she said she would join me later.
Opeyemi was yesterday arraigned before an Ebute-Meta Chief Magistrates' Court on one count of murder. The police prosecutor, Inspector Adedayo Oladele, who stood in for the resident prosecutor, Cousin Adams, said the offence was punishable under Section 223 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, Nigeria, 2015.
The defendant's plea was not taken.
The Chief Magistrate, O.O. Olatunji, remanded Opeyemi and adjourned the case till October 3rd.
