Part 2 of the BULLS SIX50 EVO AM 3 review will give you info on the ride characteristics, results from the range test, pros, cons, and overall thoughts on this eBike.
BULL's bikes are engineered, designed, and tested at their headquarters in Cologne, Germany. They have been in the European bike market since 1994 and they introduced their eBikes in 2010. BULLS has been making a big splash in the North American market over the past few years.
Alright, let's take a closer look at the BULLS SIX50 EVO AM 3!
The overall look of the BULLS SIX50 EVO AM 3 is very clean with the new Bosch PowerTube 500 integrated frame battery and the way the motor blends in with the frame tubes.
The AM 3 is a fully capable eMTB ready for almost any terrain right out of the box.
The 7005 aluminum frame features hydroformed tubes that are sculpted to provide a good fit for the rider, suspension design, motor, internal frame battery, and to optimally place more material at the high stress areas for a solid ride.
The BULLS SIX50 EVO AM 3 comes in 3 different size options: 17.3″ (44cm), 19.3″ (49 cm), 21.3″ (54cm). This is an impressive array of sizes that will fit many different riders.
The bike being used in this testing and review is the 17.3″ (44cm) frame.
Here is a closer look at the new Bosch Powertube 500 internal frame battery that is housed in the downtube.
Also visible in this picture is internal cable routing that runs through the headtube and downtube for a clean look and cable protection.
The cable routing is separate from the battery mounting location so that it doesn't interfere with the battery attachment in the frame.
The Bosch PowerTube 500 is a 36V 13.4Ah lithium battery with roughly a 500 watt hour capacity. The battery being housed in the downtube is an ideal location because its weight is low and centered which is good for overall bike handling.
Also, since the battery is located in the downtube it allows a water bottle to be mounted on top of the downtube. More on that in a bit.
The battery is protected by the downtube on 3 sides and the bottom of the battery has a thick protective aluminum plate that is mounted to the battery for protection from rock strikes.
This is a look at the removal of the battery and you can see that thick aluminum plate that protects the bottom and some of the sides of the battery.
The PowerTube battery weighs 7.4 pounds and it is removed by unlocking it with the supplied key (2 keys supplied) and releasing the safety catch lever.
The safety mechanism holds the battery from fully dropping (2 cm) just in case it were to come loose from the key locking mechanism.
You can also see the thick aluminum plate that protects the battery. It is about 4 mm thick on the sides and 2 mm thick on the bottom.
Here is a look at the downtube after the battery has been removed. The bike weighs 47.8 pounds without the battery.
This is the typical Bosch connection point that is found on their PowerPack battery systems that are mounted on top of the downtube.
This is the bottom of the battery pack with the charging port and battery level indicator.
Here's a look at the PowerTube 500 removed from the bike with the charger. The charger is about the size of a PC laptop charger. Charging a completely empty battery to 100% takes 4.5 hours; 2.25 hour to 50%.
There is a battery level indicator at the bottom of the pack so you can see the charging progress.
The 350 watt Bosch Performance Line CX mid-drive motor is designed for eMTBs and provides pedal assist up to 2o mph. The BULLS SIX50 EVO AM 3 is a Class 1 electric bike per California law (many other states are using similar eBike classifications) which is a pedelec providing pedal assist up to 20 mph.
It is interesting to see how the CX motor alignment blends in with the downtube for a very cohesive and clean look.
BULLS adds in the aluminum bash guard that helps to protect the motor from rocks strikes and when riding over logs and other obstacles.
The battery can also be charged when it is installed in the bike. On the left side of the motor casing is the battery charging port that is protected with a rubber cover.
The charger plugged into the bike charging port.
The 150 on the upper linkage stands for the 150 mm or 5.9″ of rear suspension travel that matches the same amount of front suspension travel.
A RockShox Deluxe RT 150mm shock is housed within the main frame area and "pierces" the seat tube to connect near the motor mount location. This provides shorter chain stays for better climbing and a shorter wheel base for agile riding.
The Rock Shox Deluxe RT shock can be tuned to your riding weight and style by adjusting the air spring (with a shock pump) and the damping with the dial on the top front of the shock.
It also has a lockout lever option for a more efficient ride on smoother roads or trails.
Here's a closer look at the upper suspension linkage. All of the pivot points appear to have sturdy construction.
This is a view of the Plus size 27.5″ x 2.80″ Schwalbe Nobby Nic Snakeskin rear tire. There is substantial clearance between the large rear tire and frame which is helpful when riding in muddy conditions.
Plus size tires (in the 3″ width range) are a lot of fun with their amazing traction, ability to mold over the rough stuff, and their built in suspension effect. More on that in Part 2 of this review…..
The Rock Shox Yari RC 29 Boost Solo Air suspension fork has 5.9″ (150mm) of suspension travel. It features a thru-axle for solid lateral (side to side) stability.
Like the rear shock, the Yari suspension fork can be tuned to your weight and riding style with adjustment of the air spring (with a shock pump) and adjustment of the damping.
The RockShox Yari fork has a lockout lever on the upper right side for a more efficient ride on smoother roads. This prevents the fork from bobbing up and down when you stand out of the saddle and pedal hard.
The 27.5″ x 2.8″ wide Schwalbe Nobby Nic tires have a nice rounded profile and tread pattern. The Yari fork has plenty of clearance for the Plus size tires.
A Shimano XT rear derailleur shifts through the 11 speed Shimano Deore cogset that has a 11 to 46 tooth gear range, which is a nice gear range for off road riding.
The XT rear derailleur has a clutch to tension the chain to minimize chain slap when riding in rough terrain.
Magura MT5 hydraulic discs brakes are spec'ed front and rear with 180 mm rotors. These feature 4 piston calipers that provide a lot of stopping power. They are based on the Magura MT7 downhill brakes but they are built for enduro style riding that fits the AM 3 well.
Here is the rear Magura MT5 hydraulic disc brake with 180mm rotor. A 12mm rear thru axle provides for solid side to side stiffness of the rear wheel.
The handlebars are very wide for a stable ride feel. They also have a slight rise.
On the left side of the handlebar is the Bosch Purion display & control pad, the front Magura MT5 hydraulic disc brake lever, and the KS LEV dropper post lever, and the ergonomic grip with lock on collar.
The compact Bosch Purion display shows the different pedal assist levels (Eco, Tour, eMTB, Turbo), estimated range remaining (based on the pedal assist level, battery level, and recent terrain ridden), speedometer, odometer, trip distance, and battery level. The display is backlit for good visibility both day and night.
The pedal assist levels are adjusted with the large (+) and (-) buttons and there is a walk mode that is activated with the button just below the display. Once the walk mode is activated you can hold down the (+) button and the motor will assist up to around 3 mph which helps when walking with the bike up very steep hills.
The on/off button is located just above the display.
Here's a look at the Magura MT5 hydraulic brake lever for the rear brake, the Shimano XT 11 speed rear shifter. The MT5 brake levers can be adjusted to fit the size of your hand with a star wrench dial on the front of the lever.
On the right side of the handlebar is the Shimano XT 11 speed shifter (below the bar), the rear Magura MT5 hydraulic disc brake lever, and the ergonomic grip with lock on collar.
This is a look at the Monkey Link stem that has a magnetic light attachment under the stem. The stem is wired from the main eBike battery to provide power to the front light. There is also a similar mount for a rear light at the seat tube. The lights themselves are an optional accessory.
The Selle Royal Rampage saddle has a narrow performance style profile with center relief section.
Another highlight of the BULLS SIX50 EVO AM 3 is that it comes stock with a KS Lev-Integra 100mm (4″) dropper post. The Lev-Integra uses internal cable routing for a clean overall look.
There will also be a Monkey Link magnetic light mount on the seat tube that is pre wired for the light attachment. The lights are an optional accessory.
Since the battery is housed in the downtube the top of the downtube is available for a water bottle. And BULLS didn't just add any water bottle, they spec'ed the magnetic Monkey Link water bottle! The Monkey Link water bottle and water bottle frame attachment is an option accessory.
The Monkey Link water bottle has a built in magnetic connection on the side. Removing it from the bike is a quick twist to the right.
Here is a closer look at the water bottle magnetic connector. The connector can be removed (if needed) from the water bottle by turning the dial to the open position.
And here is a look at the water bottle mount on the downtube. To reattach the water bottle just get the bottle connection close and you will feel the magnetic pull!
Battery: Bosch Powertube 36V 13.4Ah (~500 watt hour) lithium battery integrated into downtube of the frame. The battery weighs 7.4 pounds.
Assist Options: 4 levels of pedal assist: Eco, Tour, eMTB, Turbo. Torque sensor pedal assist.
Display: Bosch Purion display shows the different pedal assist levels (Eco, Tour, eMTB, Turbo), estimated range remaining (based on the pedal assist level, battery level, and recent terrain ridden), speedometer, odometer, trip distance, and battery level. The display is backlit for good visibility both day and night.
Drivetrain: Shimano XT 11 speed shifter and rear derailleur. Shimano Deore 11 speed cassette 11t to 46t range.
Accessories: Monkey Link light mounts installed and wired from the battery. The lights and water bottle Monkey Link accessories are optional.

Home Effexor (Venlafaxine) Addiction and Abuse How Long Does Effexor Stay in Your System?
4. How Long Does Effexor (Venlafaxine) Stay In Your System?
6. How Long Does Effexor (Venlafaxine) Stay In Your Urine, Hair, And Blood?
Effexor is a prescription medication that is used to treat depression, generalized anxiety disorder and social phobias. Also known by its generic name as venlafaxine, this drug is classified as a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), which works by helping to restore the balance of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain. By doing this, a person diagnosed with depression may exhibit improved mood and energy levels.
It is essential that you read the medication guide provided by your pharmacist before you start using Effexor. It should always be taken by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually two to three times daily with food. To reduce your risk of side effects, your doctor may start you out at a low dosage and gradually increase as you build a tolerance (it will range anywhere from 37.5 mg to 300 mg). It may take several weeks to feel the benefit of this medication, so be sure to take it every day around the same time for best results.
Effexor works by enhancing the activity of the neurotransmitters serotonin and noradrenaline in the brain. These neurotransmitters are natural chemicals found in the body, and they act as chemical messengers between the nerve cells. Serotonin and noradrenaline are neurotransmitters that are involved in regulating emotions, mood and behavior — therefore, in people experiencing signs of depression and anxiety, there is generally less of these neurotransmitters released from nerve cells in the brain.
Norepinephrine is a stress hormone, controlling parts of the brain related to attention and response and "fight or flight." It also increases heart rate, triggers the release of glucose from energy stores and boosts blood flow to muscles. Serotonin controls other processes within the brain, including mood, emotions, anxiety, aggression, sleep, appetite, perceptions and memory. In other words, they play a critical role in maintaining a person's well-being.
Venlafaxine works by preventing or inhibiting the reabsorption of these neurotransmitters — serotonin and noradrenaline — back into the nerve cells of the brain. Over time, this process helps to relieve depression, anxiety and fear. It does not, however, change your personality or make you feel like a new person. It simply works by getting you back to your normal self: the person you were before feeling crippled by fear and anxiety.
How Long Does Effexor (Venlafaxine) Stay In Your System?
Most people wonder how long it will take for a drug to fully leave their system. To determine how long Effexor stays in your system, it is necessary to understand the metabolite of its active ingredient: venlafaxine. You must first know about a drug's half-life, which is the time taken for the plasma concentration to reduce to half its original value. The half-life of Effexor is approximately 5 hours (+/- 2 hours), which is extremely short compared to other antidepressants. It also means that if you took a 50-mg venlafaxine tablet at 5 pm, then by 10 pm, there would be 25 mg remaining in your system, and by 3 am, there would be 12.5 mg remaining in your system, and so on, until the tablet is fully cleared from your system.
The overall average is around less than two days, though it depends on a variety of factors.
Individual factors such as age, body composition, genetics and liver function play a critical role in how long it takes to flush venlafaxine out of your system. This can explain why two people who take Effexor at the same dose, starting on the exact same day and quitting at the exact same time, will still not clear the drug at the same time.
Another factor is dosage. It is common knowledge that the greater the amount of a drug you ingest, the longer it will stay in your system. The person taking the lowest possible dose of Effexor a day will likely metabolize and excrete it quicker than someone taking the maximum dose. Though Venlafaxine doesn't accumulate throughout tissues, high doses place a greater burden on the liver (for metabolism) and kidneys (for excretion). Since the body can only metabolize a certain amount of this drug at a time and the kidneys can only secrete a set amount at a time, those on greater doses will likely keep the drug in their systems longer.
There are also some drugs that interfere with metabolizing of Effexor, and they are known as "inducers" and "inhibitors." Inhibitors tend to interfere with the enzyme that metabolizes venlafaxine, thus prolonging metabolism and excretion of the drug. Inducers, on the other hand, enhance activation of this enzyme, allowing for quicker metabolism and excretion of Effexor.
How Long Does Effexor (Venlafaxine) Stay In Your Urine, Hair, And Blood?
In regards to the factors above, we know that it can vary. However, to get the drug out of your system as quickly as possible, it is important to remember to stay hydrated, exercise and keep an acidic diet. The alkalinity of urine results in prolonged excretion and reabsorption of the drug. Manipulating your urinary pH to become more acidic through your diet could enhance the excretion of Effexor.

Men's health week runs this year from the 11th to the 17thth of June. We need to collectively take a moment to focus on this important area of health, irrespective of our gender.
For the men out there, it's an opportunity to reflect upon your own state of health, both physical and mental, and work out whether it's time to make an appointment to see your GP for a checkup. For the women, often the responsibility falls on your shoulders, having to gently prod and encourage the men in your lives to get checked.
And it shouldn't just be a once off. It should be the start of a lifelong investment in your own health. Because as a rule, men are neglectful of their own health, for any number of reasons. And statistically, men's health typically is poorer than that of our female counterparts.
So what can you do, either for yourself or the men in your lives?
Make or encourage them to make an appointment to see their GP for a once over. All it takes is a little time invested in the most important asset in your world. And that's YOU!
I personally have my own GP, who I can honestly state has helped me through a number of difficult times in my life. And I have sought the advice of a counsellor, when I couldn't find the answers I was seeking and needed the advice of a professional. And there is no shame associated with putting your hand up and asking for help when things get a bit or a lot tough, because there are people out there willing and able to assist you get through those dark patches.
I have also sought information from other sources, to make the journey a little smoother and easier to understand. From reading "The Happiness Trap" and "The Reality Slap" by Dr Russ Harris, to watching the brilliant "Man Up' series by Gus Worland on ABC, through to listening to the "Be A Man" podcast series. All of these have given me something to carry with me as this journey of life continues, hopefully better equipped at each stage to deal with the next hurdle.
There are also a number of great websites available to visit that deal with men's health, particularly mental health. From Men's Health Week to Gotcha4Life to Beyond Blue and Lifeline – all of these, plus many others sites are out there to provide you with the information and support that you require, particularly if you are reluctant or hesitant to talk to anyone.
So the take home message is get in and see your doctor – nothing is too embarrassing to raise in that consultation, and we are able to provide the support and direction that is required to keep life on a healthy path, even if that's not the path it's presently taking!

Share the Spirit: Marine combat veteran credits Swords to Plowshares in quest to become defense attorney
Vet wants to help youth get a second chance, just like he did
Former Swords to Plowshares intern Bruce Calderon, a Marine Corp veteran, reads law books as he studies at his home in Alameda County on Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2019. Thanks to the veterans' organization Swords to Plowshares, Calderon says that he has changed his life. He bought a house and is studying at Hastings School of Law to become a public defender. Calderon wants to work in the juvenile justice system to help at-risk youth, like he himself once was. (Ray Chavez/Bay Area News Group)
By Harry Harris | hharris@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
OAKLAND — From the time he was 15, U.S. Marine Corps combat veteran Bruce Calderon knew his ultimate career goal: Become a public defender and work in the juvenile justice system helping incarcerated and at-risk youth get a second chance — just like him.
Now 26, the highly motivated and self-driven Calderon is in his second year of law school after earning two bachelors degrees at San Francisco State University.
He does not hesitate to say that if it was not for the assistance of Swords to Plowshares, a highly respected veteran's organization, he would never have gotten to where he is today.
"They gave me everything I needed and if they could not give it to me directly, they got me in contact with the right agency and personnel," Calderon said. "They absolutely turned my life around. That's what manifested into me having the will and fortitude to go where I needed."
The 45-year-old organization was founded by veterans, and its mission is "to heal the wounds of war, to restore dignity, hope and self-sufficiency to all veterans in need, and to prevent and end homelessness and poverty among veterans." The organization, which has offices in Oakland and San Francisco, provides housing, legal assistance and employment and training and other services to about 3,000 veterans a year.
As with many veterans, Bruce's journey has not been without challenges and missteps," said Kevin C. Miller, the organization's assistant director of communications. "At Swords to Plowshares we understand the experience and obstacles veterans face transitioning from the military. Bruce has not only shown tremendous courage in the face of adversity, but also truly exemplifies the success of wraparound services and our 'vets-helping-vets' model."
The organization has received funding this year from Share the Spirit, an annual holiday campaign that serves disadvantaged residents in the East Bay. Donations helped support 49 nonprofit agencies in Contra Costa and Alameda counties. Swords to Plowshares will use the grant to purchase winter supplies such as ponchos, hats, thermal socks and toiletries to fill 125 backpacks for homeless veterans. The packs will be distributed during the agency's annual Veteran's Holiday luncheon.
Growing up in Union City where he graduated in 2011 from James Logan High School, Calderon said he knew he wanted to graduate college and go to law school. But he admits he drifted down the wrong path as a youth and was arrested for grand theft when he was 15. It was then he knew he had to turn his life around if he was to follow his dream.
Because of his own efforts efforts to get back on track, and the mentorship of his attorney, probation officer and high school athletic coaches, the judge agreed to dismiss his case, Calderon said. His experiences helped guide his eventual decision to help young people caught in the same situations.
But first he enlisted in the Marines at age 17. During his military career Calderon served on both coasts of the United States, as well as in Japan and South Korea. He completed a combat tour in Afghanistan from January 2013 to August 2013, serving as an intelligence watch officer.
He met his future wife in 2016, during his last assignment in South Korea. After they married he spent his savings helping her immigrate to the United States and learn English. And he said it was difficult to translate his military training to full time employment. Money was tight and he also did not have any college experience. He and his wife did not have secure housing or a vehicle.
To complicate things further, Calderon was diagnosed with both mental and physical conditions that eventually led to the VA declaring him 100 percent service-connected disabled.
His life began changing dramatically after he walked into a Fremont veteran's clinic and saw a Swords to Plowshares flier about their services. He took public transportation to the Oakland office where a case manager "gave me all the resources I needed," he said.
That included getting compensation for his disabilities and other veteran's benefits, unemployment insurance, and an employment coach who kept him aware of jobs and skills training classes. All of the assistance definitely improved his "welfare and morale," he said. And perhaps most important of all, they put him in contact with the veterans center at San Francisco State University. Though he lacked an associate's degree, Calderon enrolled there in 2017 after it was determined some of his military training could translate into college credits.
He has since earned dual bachelor's degrees in political science and criminal justice, graduating in 2018 as the valedictorian in both majors, he said. He and his wife also bought their first home in 2018 in Alameda County with the help of a VA loan.
In the spring of 2018 he was accepted into Hastings School of Law where he is now a second year student, his goal of becoming a public defender possibly just a few years away. He has had several paid legal internships along the way, including with Swords to Plowshares, the San Francisco Public Defender's Office and the Justice Corps at the Hayward Hall of Justice.
"From the first day of his internship Bruce brought incredible enthusiasm and dedication to our legal team," said Olivia Cole, deputy director of legal services at Swords to Plowshares. "Driven by his own personal experiences as a veteran, he consistently went above and beyond in order to learn how to best advocate for our veteran clients. I cannot speak highly enough about his contributions to our team, and am very excited to see where his legal career takes him in the future. I am confident that wherever he chooses to focus his efforts he will excel."
Calderon said the encouragement and experiences he gained from the internships helped steer him back to his early goal.
"Those experiences leave "no doubt in my mind why I chose this career," Calderon says. "It would not have been possible without the help of Swords to Plowshares. They changed my life and I felt this was the only way to give back.
"No matter what your background, or status, they treat everyone the same," he said. "One-hundred percent I would recommend Swords to Plowshares to any veteran."

Electronic Arts producer Jim Vessella has taken to Reddit to ask for community feedback on the return of the franchise to PC. Vessella has a long history at EA and was on the production team for the likes of Command & Conquer 3 and Red Alert 3, along with being the Lead Producer on Kane's Wrath. In those roles he remembers the fun and value of interacting with the gaming community online and at events like Gamescom.
The most recent C&C game you can play is Command & Conquer: Rivals, a mobile game set in the Command & Conquer universe but people still pine for the old games on PC and many would like to see the games evolve on the PC. Thus EA has something already in the pipeline to mark the upcoming 25th Year Anniversary of the C&C games.
Vessella wants to make more of C&C beyond this 25th anniversary special (though we don't have any solid indication of what the celebratory output might be). So he asks for "feedback to help influence our current thoughts for PC and what comes next". The feedback isn't limited to Reddit though, as EA will be "talking to fans in a variety of ways," over the next few weeks.
To wrap up his Reddit post Vessella assures that he isn't just a long time C&C developer he is also a fan and is "just as passionate about the C&C franchise as you are".
I would count myself among the horde of ardent C&C fans. I've re-bought the games more than once over the years due to platform and compatibility issues (though they are often in the sale nowadays very cheap at Origin etc). My favourites are the Red Alert and Generals titles. A common concern with EA as it is now might be with so called microtransactions. However, Vessella has been quick to respond, via Reddit, to this thorny question as follows: "We will not be adding any microtransactions to a C&C Remaster." Others have asked EA to avoid; lootboxes in any form, any online only requirement, or pay-per-faction/commander.
They have to revive the franchise that they shot in the back of the head with ra3 and c&c4 somehow. C&C3 and Kanes Wrath were true continuations of Westwoods quality with a great engine, visuals and campaign. Online multiplayer was also pretty decent as well.
But EA is EA, they had something great they just completely stuffed it up and killed the brand.
This remaster might allow them to revive the brand but people are going to be incredibly cautious. I know i will be.
I would love Generals 2 and that C&C FPS they were developing, Tiberium i think it was called. Because I'm one of those weirdos that actually quite liked Renegade, the online scene was fab as well. Maybe a Renegade 2 so we could have great quips from Havoc again.
Always enjoyed a game of C&CG until issues with later OS's mad eit almost impossible to run.
Just incase you didnt know Renegade is still alive, if you look around you'll find DL's for it for free.
Ren was the best FPS ive ever played. I really wish RenX didnt take soooooooooo long to make, it might have given the playerbase a boost when it was needed.
They need to re-master Generals, it would be an instant purchase for me. But ONLY if they can improve the AI on skirmish mode.
Easy mode: AI sends a few trucks at you now and then, easily demolished.
Normal: Perfect really other than the fact you cant slowly have a prolonged unit only war, if you take too long the super weapons come out and makes it just plain stressful to play, so you have to build the super weapons and use them fast, which is boring.
Hard: I am not good enough at these games to play at this level, I build a factory and boom I am nuked to oblivion.

Rice Terraces or Tana-Da are becoming something of a rarity in Japan, and finding one nearby was quite a challenge.
Indeed! I know 3 gorgeous locations with amazing rice terraces in Japan but they are all located between 6 to 9h away by car from Tokyo. While I am usually confortable driving 9 to 10hrs my schedule did not however permit me to be more than 1h away from Tokyo at that time.
Luckily for me, and after many hours of search, I found the holy grail in the form of a small rice terrace field just around 1h30 from Tokyo!
So expect in the coming few weeks to enjoy another one of our gorgeous 4K Videos or these traditional rice terraces!!


The Claremont Men's Volleyball team is a division II club team that competes in regional and national tournaments. We are currently the reigning champions of the Southern California Collegiate Volleyball League (SCCVL) and we will begin our title defense in January. The team is open to students from any of the Claremont Colleges (including CGU) and we pride ourselves on offering a high level of play to interested players.
The goal of the team is to provide men at the Claremont Colleges an opportunity to play volleyball in a competitive league against other colleges and universities, while still maintaining a fun, positive atmosphere. Practices are typically 2-3 times per week in the evenings or Sunday afternoons and we try to collaborate with the women's team for beach volleyball days on Friday afternoons.
Our league season is in the Spring semester and ends with a national tournament in April, though we typically hold open-gym practices in the fall, before deciding on a roster at some point in November. Anyone is welcome to join the open practices in September and October, and once we have decided on practice times, we will post them here.
If you have any more questions about our season, the team, or how to join, please don't hesitate to check out our page or email us directly. We would love for you to join us on our march to a national championship!

The morphology of Semitic languages is marked by an unusual process
whereby a sequence of consonants which represents the root is
distributed over a template. In Arabic, for example, there is a root
"ktb" ('write') which appears as "katab" in the perfective active,
"kutib" in the perfective passive, "aktub" in the imperfective
active, and "uktab" in the imperfective passive. It is not surprising
that morphologists have been fascinated and sometimes uneasy with
this phenomenon, which does not fit in with more common categories
such as suffixation and prefixation. The problem is all the more
pertinent in computational morphology, where finite-state approaches
have been predominant since the 1980s. In this book, based on the
author's Ph.D. dissertation, Kiraz describes how finite-state
mechanisms for computational morphology can be extended so that they
can also cover templatic morphology in Semitic languages.
The book consists of eight chapters, which can be roughly divided
into a description of the background and earlier work on the topic in
Chapters 1-4 and a description of the author's own approach in
Chapters 5-8.
Chapter 1 introduces basic notions from morphology, formal languages,
finite-state automata, and Semitic morphology, with the aim of making
the book accessible to scholars from different backgrounds.
Chapter 2 provides a survey of the most prominent approaches to the
morphology of Semitic languages in linguistic theory. Autosegmental
morphology, introduced by McCarthy (1981), proposes that a form such
as "katab" is the result of linearization of information represented
at three different tiers, one for the root "ktb", one for the
vocalism "a", and one for the CV pattern CVCVC. Other approaches
discussed are based on this one. One particularly challenging process
found in Semitic languages is the formation of the so-called broken
plural, e.g. "salaatiin" from "sultaan". Apart from templatic
morphology, the morphology of Semitic languages also involves
prefixation, suffixation, and circumfixation.
Chapter 3 gives an historical overview of finite-state morphology. In
its most popular form it is based on Koskenniemi's (1983) two-level
formalism, which consists of a lexicon system for the concatenation
of formatives and a set of two-level rules mediating between the
lexical form resulting from the concatenation and the surface form
found in actual text. A number of developments are briefly
summarized, with the emphasis on those ones relevant to the
morphology of Semitic languages.
Chapter 4 is a survey of the discussion of the morphology of Semitic
languages in the context of computational linguistics. The proposals
range from the extension of finite-state morphology with additional
tapes to the abandonment of finite-state constraints.
In Chapter 5 the author describes his own approach, based on
proposals by Kay (1987) and Pulman & Hepple (1993). Instead of the
lexical form as used by Koskenniemi (1983), there are three tapes
corresponding to McCarthy's (1981) tiers. Rewrite rules relate a
triple from the tapes of the lexical form to a symbol of the surface
form. Affixes are represented on the same tape as the CV pattern and
put in the correct position by the morphotactic component, which
consists of regular or context-free rules.
Chapter 6 shows how each of the approaches discussed in Chapter 2 can
be modelled in terms of the system described in Chapter 5. In the
treatment of the broken plural, an extension of the model is
proposed. Rather than relating a plural form such as "salaatiin"
directly to the root "sltn", a vocalism, and a CV pattern, the
formation of this form is based on the singular "sultaan". More
generally, experience of writing actual mapping rules has shown that
it is not practical to require that they always refer to the tiers.
Therefore an intermediate level between lexical tiers and surface
form is introduced, the linearized lexical form.
Chapter 7 describes the compilation process. It starts with a number
of formal definitions and then describes separately how the lexicon
component, the rewrite rules component, and the morphotactic
component are compiled into finite-state transducers.
Chapter 8 is a brief conclusion with some thoughts on the use of the
mechanisms developed here for other phenomena, the remaining problems
and the general outlook.
The start of Chapter 1 immediately raises the question of the
audience for this book: "This book might have a wide audience:
computational linguists, theoretical and applied linguists,
Semitists, and - who knows - maybe Biblical scholars with interest in
Semitic." The claim that the intended audience includes all these
categories is hedged by "might", but the stated purpose of Chapter 1
is to make the book accessible to all of them. This would have been a
remarkable achievement for a Ph.D. dissertation in such a technical
field. In my opinion, however, this goal is not achieved.
Dissertations are of course a difficult genre as far as the target
audience is concerned. In writing a dissertation, the primary
audience is the supervisor. This means that in order not to look
naive, authors are often inclined to reduce the level of explicitness
in explanation and argumentation to what the supervisor still
understands. Compared to the intended audience for a book, however,
Ph.D. supervisors have a rather atypical level of background
knowledge, so that the arguments in a Ph.D. dissertation are often
quite difficult for outsiders to understand.
As I have not read the original Ph.D. dissertation I can only guess
which parts were reworked for publication as a book, but the results
are very unequal in terms of clarity of presentation. Some parts, in
particular most of Chapter 7, are a model of clear, user-friendly
presentation. Each definition is immediately illustrated by an
example in such a way that they can be understood with only basic
knowledge of formal language theory. Other sections, for instance
5.5, remain somewhat opaque because formal concepts are introduced
without explaining or showing how they are used.
In the survey chapters (2-4), an excellent opportunity to make the
book useful to a wider audience is missed. The descriptions of
different linguistic treatments of Semitic morphology in Chapter 2
are juxtaposed without showing how they are related. The approaches
are in a partially temporal order and there is an overlap in the
people involved, so that it may be assumed that there are rational
considerations as to why a particular new approach emerged. The
reader has to guess them, however. In Chapter 3 and to an even
greater extent in Chapter 4, one gets the impression that the reader
is supposed to know all the articles referred to. The descriptions
are just elaborate enough to recall the main features to someone who
knows the underlying system, but to others they are a real challenge.
Another property of dissertations which turns into a disadvantage, at
least when they are published as a book, is the tendency to simplify
the presentation of areas not central to the topic at hand. A rather
innocent example is the statement in the preface that there are only
two (named) earlier monographs on computational morphology preceding
the book under review. Such a claim is of course quite hazardous and
in fact unlikely to be true.
The casual treatment of some central morphological questions gives
more cause for concern. Ignoring the debate on the status of
morphemes, section 1.1.1.1 introduces them as if there was a general
consensus about them. The author assumes that morphemes are the basic
entities of the lexicon and morphological rules combine them,
selecting allomorphs and adapting the form where appropriate.
Although Matthews (1974) is referred to in this section, neither here
nor elsewhere in the book did I come across any mention of the
distinction between inflection and word formation. Even a brief
footnote explaining the choice of the set of assumptions and
mentioning its consequences would have been much better than
completely ignoring these central issues in morphological theory. The
fact that Aronoff's (1994) influential analysis of the template
system of Semitic languages is entirely ignored must be due to this
set of assumptions. Aronoff's book is quoted for a general historical
remark, which means that the author must be aware of it. It looks as
if the incompatibility of theoretical frameworks resulted in the
author finding it too difficult to relate his own analysis to
Aronoff's.
Another point which may be taken as a matter of simplification
concerns the use of "phonological" notation. Throughout the book,
strings appear which are enclosed in slashes and are called
phonological, but which do not represent any common phonological
notation. Some examples are /move#ing/ (where # stands for beta, used
as a boundary symbol) on p. 22, /unsuccessful/ on p. 80, and /can/ on
p. 151. In practicing computational morphology one can choose to take
a phonological perspective, as in Cahill & Gazdar (1999), or an
orthographic one, as in ten Hacken & Domenig (1996), but a mixed
perspective is confusing. Of course this confusion has a long
tradition, as illustrated by the term "weak letters" (p. 46) with a
reference to the Arabic grammatical tradition.
I will not mention the minor errors I found in some of the figures,
because the author announces a periodically updated errata sheet at
http://www.bethmardutho.org/gkiraz. A password is required for access
to this site.
The problems noted here do not strike at the heart of the research
presented in the book under review. They mainly concern its
presentation beyond a small circle of specialists. The second half of
the book is definitely the better part and the system described is of
great interest. For those sufficiently knowledgeable about the
computational treatment of Semitic morphology this is definitely a
valuable book. For others the value depends on their eagerness to
collect and read the original articles referred to or their tolerance
to taking in a great deal of information without seeing the
relationships or understanding the details.

The Choreopolitics of Alain Platel: how a dramaturgy of stuttering evokes the response-ability of the spectator to become a with-ness.
On the occasion of the new book publication – The Choreopolitics of Alain Platel: emotions, gestures and politics, edited by Prof. Christel Stalpaert and the dramaturges Hildegard De Vuyst and Guy Cools, the latter will have his own contribution to the book on 'a dramaturgy of stuttering' dialogue with some of the other authors.
The lecture will focus on how a dramaturgy of stuttering (Christel Stalpaert) uses alterkinetic movements (Kélina Gotman) in works such as pitié! (2008) and Out of Context – For Pina (2010), inviting the spectators to become with-nesses (Ann Cooper Albright) and take up their response-ability in a shared 'ethics of care'.
Dr. Guy Cools is a dance dramaturg. Recent positions include Associate Professor at the research institute Arts in Society in Tilburg, and Guest Lecturer at Ghent University and at University of Ottawa. He has been a fellow at the Institute of Interweaving Performance Cultures at Freie Universität in Berlin. He has worked as a dance critic and curator and as a production dramaturg, with amongst others Koen Augustijnen (BE), Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui (BE), Danièle Desnoyers (CA), Lia Haraki (CY), Akram Khan (UK), Arno Schuitemaker (NL), and Stephanie Thiersch (DE). His most recent publications include The Ethics of Art: ecological turns in the performing arts (co-edited with Pascal Gielen) (2014): In-between Dance Cultures: on the migratory artistic identity of Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Akram Khan (2015) and Imaginative Bodies: Dialogues in Performance Practices (2016).

Gmail offline: A guided tour
Offline Gmail works mostly the same as online Gmail. But there are some steps required to enable it. Here's what to expect.
Stephen Shankland
January 30, 2009 6:34 AM PST
Wondering how Gmail offline works? Here, we walk you through it.
In short, people familiar with Gmail already are mostly familiar with its offline incarnation, which Google said it's releasing gradually to its users in coming days. The biggest difference is of course that you can't see new messages, and e-mails that you send are merely queued up until they can be delivered when a network connection is re-established.
Gmail uses Google's Gears technology, which among other things lets browsers store data on a computer in what's called a local cache. I'm using Firefox 3.1 beta 2, with which Gears isn't compatible, so to access Gmail offline I used Google Chrome instead, which has Gears built in. Since Gears is a relative rarity, though, most folks will have to install it first, which Google walks you through.
There are some limitations to offline Gmail: Only about 10,000 messages will be downloaded--the newest and most recently used. You can't use the contacts tab to manage your connections, though e-mail address autocomplete works so you won't need to worry about remembering e-mail addresses. You can't include attachments on new messages. It's only available in Gmail for English speakers.
But overall, it's certainly worth it if you're ever on a plane, taxi, train, vacation retreat, or coffee shop with an overstressed connection.
How do you use it? First things first. In the Gmail settings section, go to the "Labs" tab, click the "enable" button next to Offline Gmail. Then go all the way to the bottom of the page and click "Save Changes." This is an experimental feature, and Google warns they've occasionally seen issues keeping the local cache in sync.
There's more to be done to set it up, though. Go back to your in-box, then click the "Offline 0.1" link in the upper right corner. That'll walk you through the next stage of setup, including the setup of Gears if you don't have it running yet.
Next comes the explanation of what you're doing and the warning not to install offline Gmail on a public machine.
Then comes the permission phase. You're granting Gmail access to Gears, which means the software is granted access to your hard drive.
Do you feel you don't have enough icons in your life? Is your desktop just not cluttered enough? If so, now's the time to let Gmail sprinkle some more icons around. I actually don't mind this for valued applications: on Windows I assign a keyboard shortcut to the icon so I can launch it with a Ctrl-Alt-G combination. When you launch Gmail off the icon using Chrome, it fires up the application with no tab and navigation bar, so you get maximum screen real estate for the application; clicking links opens them in a new browser window.
Next comes the synchronization process. Depending on your in-box size and network connection, this could take awhile. And unfortunately, if you enable offline mode on a separate browser--Internet Explorer, for example--Gmail has to download the whole shebang again.
Happily, Gmail still can be used while you're creating the cache, because Gears is multithreaded--in other words, it can walk and chew gum at the same time.
The synchronization process is interruptible. Gmail tells you how far back into your archive it's delved and how many messages have been downloaded so far. The database is optimized for about 10,000 messages, and searching them is swift, even if it returns incomplete results compared to Gmail's performance while connected to your full archive.
Once the messages are done, Gmail tackles the attachments. You can view attachments when offline, but you can't include attachments in new e-mail you create while offline, at least for now.
The control panel in Gmail settings shows how far back Gmail's offline archive goes. It also tells you which tags it includes, which is handy--if you want all messages from your folks in the archive, label them "family" (I have my account set up to apply that label when the messages arrive from various e-mail addresses). Any label you've clicked on will be archived offline. (In this image, my labels have been blurred. No peeking!)
If you're offline, Gmail detects it automatically. Clicking the gray circle-with-a-bar icon that indicates no network will produce this pop-up that lets you manually try to reconnect. The status bar--whether online or offline--also lets you enter the intermediate "flaky connection mode," which is designed for times when your network access is intermittent. With it, Gmail will try to retrieve new messages and deliver the ones you've instructed be sent, but won't get too ruffled if the network isn't up.
After this, you're set up for offline Gmail. All the rest of the interface is the same as online: messages can be read, starred, labeled, and archived; search and conversation view work with the messages in your archive; and new messages can be written. I'd like contacts management, but overall, the experience is good and a big improvement for the application.

There were held thousands protest in Warsaw, near the building of The Sejm of the Republic of Poland after next year's budget was adopted without the opposition's participation during this process. People demanded to talk with PiS leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski.
The police used force against citizens, helping Jaroslaw Kaczynski to leave the building, because protesters blocked all exits and entries. Moreover, the opposition claimed that the police had even used tear gas.
Meanwhile, the government accused the protesters of trying to overthrow the current power.


I'm thinking about spending a week in Venice and nearby areas in January. How easy is it to spend a few days in Venice and Padova and then a few days in Slovenia or Croatia and then get back to Venice? Is this possible without spending many hours on ferries, trains and buses?
Also, since Padova is near Venice and is cheaper, is it reasonable to stay there are commute to Venice each day? Has anyone done that?
If you take the train out to Trieste, you don't need to cross water to get into Slovenia and Croatia, but you are still talking about several hours on ground transport, plus the risk of really lousy weather paralyzing transport.
The weight of opinion about "commuting" to Venice is pretty much solidly against it on this board, even though most people holding that opinion have never done it. The few people who've actually done it sometimes do show up here and say they enjoyed it or were just fine with it. I've never done it, but I would reluctant to recommend it to someone else just because being in Venice late at night or very early in the morning is sometimes the only way to enjoy certain aspects of the city without a clog of tourists. Remember too that in January you will have very short daylight hours in a part of Italy which generally sees overcast days in January. If you can dig around, you can find well-reviewed b&bs that are price competitive with Venice (although food in Padova is cheaper, that is for sure).
January is the least congested month in Venice and also the fewest hours of daylight, I would not waste any of them "commuting" from Padua. There are reasonably priced places to stay, do some research.
Padova to Trieste by train in feasible but not sure about the rest of your plans.
Padova lots uglier 60 miles away too far for a day trip.
My husband and I stayed in Padova once during Carnival when we could not find rooms in Venice. It was fine, quite convenient (and amusing to see all the people in costume on the train)but not as magical as Venice in early morning and evening. I would pay the extra money to stay right in Venice.
Many years ago, we stayed in Padua with the intention of commuting to Venice. It is not only inconvenient but you miss the real life of Venice. Been back many times and always stay in Venice itself.
Padova is 30 minutes from Venice by public transportation, a perfect distance for a day trip from Venice. I have done it twice and so can attest to the ease of accomplishing it. Giotto's Scrovegni Chapel is a short walk from the train station.
Venice is the nicest place to stay (although it will be freezing cold and rates are cheaper since it's low season) and worth paying a little more for the B&Bs there. Venice for Rookies guide book has a bunch of great suggestions for budget lodging in Venice and the other cities to visit such as apartments with rentalia.com or hostelsclub.com.
In regards to the train ride,Padova is 30min from Venice and costs 3.45 euros one way. At their train station, there is a tourist office which will lend you free audio tour headsets to take along your site seeing as long as you leave them your ID and return the headsets by 6pm.
If you rent a car, from Padova, I suggest hitting the Euganian Hills which is beautiful as far as the Veneto countryside goes with wineries in Vo and great meat and pasta dishes in agriturismi (farming restaurants where everything is home grown).
For Slovenia, Ljubljana will only take a day to see and then you can enjoy staying at a cheap but nicer hotel with spa services to take advantage of their great saunas and hot tubs. The food is better in Italy though.
If you stay in Padua because the prices are less expensive you have to factor in the E13.8 round trip fare for 2 people per day.
I would rather stay in Venice than commute an hour each day (possibly more than an hour since you have to get to and from the train station in each town so it would be closer to 1.5 hours per day).
Are you planning on spending a week in Venice and then visiting Padova, Slovenia (all of it?) Croatia (all of it?) or is your plan to see everything within 7 nights (or is it actually a 6 night stay?)?
Also, a good rule of thumb is if it costs more to stay in a certain area, then that is probably going to be the place area you want to stay. The cheaper areas/neighborhoods/suburbs are cheaper BECAUSE they are less desirable and less sought after (supply and demand).
That absolutely applies to Venice. That is to say you'll want to stay IN Venice (and cut the budget elsewhere if needed).
Hub and I made Venice a base and took a day trip by train to Padua and one to Trieste. Padua was easy but make pre-reservations to the neat church (sorry senior mo about the name). Trieste was a longer trip but we did see Miramar and walk about the Centre.
If you Google Venice to Slovenia or Croatia, you will find tours and ferries. I can't help with 1st-hand experience but people still need to get to those places, even in January so you should find something. I'm sure I saw a Rick Steves show about taking a boat across from Venice-check out his site as well.
International flights out of Venice leave (or did when we were there) early so you might want to spend your last night in Venice to be safe.

The former Spike TV head of originals will oversee both scripted and unscripted for the studio.
Sharon Levy has landed at Endemol Shine North America. The veteran TV executive, who departed Spike TV earlier this year amid the mass Viacom exodus, has been named president of both unscripted and scripted television at the company.
Her addition follows a year of big changes at Endemol Shine, which lost co-CEO Charlie Corwin and unscripted topper Eden Gaha and shuttered its digital studio. Chairman and CEO Cris Abrego announced Levy's hiring on Tuesday.
Prior to her 12-year tenure at Spike, one that saw her launch Ink Master, Bar Rescue and Deadliest Warrior, Levy started out at Comedy Central before moving to Stone Stanley Entertainment.
Endemol Shine North America, a division of Endemol Shine Group, currently boasts an originals roster that includes Big Brother, the MasterChef franchise, the recently revived Fear Factor and The Real Housewives of Atlanta.


This former detached garage and work shed was the perfect location for an in-law home on the family property. Beginning with the raw shell and foundation of two intersecting buildings, Atriax created unique designs for the addition of a full second story with skylight tower in an open living space with full kitchen and lake side views. The basement area, provided for a complete insulated wood workshop with direct access to the living quarters above. A covered walkway provided easy access to the main house.
The client loves his new private home that incorporates all his favorite design elements and provides for a hobby-filled retirement and easy access to family members.

Is it time for a lifestyle change? Fancy living and working in the beautiful Lake District National Park? This wonderful B&B offers just such a wonderful opportunity. Enjoying sensational fell views and with central Ambleside on the doorstep this 4 storey home includes 7 quality en-suite letting bedrooms, 3 bedroomed self contained apartment and excellent dining facilities.
With views looking west to Loughrigg panning all the way around to The Fairfield Horseshoe this truly is a magnificent place to live. Just imagine being able to work here too! Extensively modernised over the past 5 years Brantholme could be the answer to many a prayer for those tired of the rat race. Why not take the opportunity to view?
Location Millans Park can be approached by road from the south via Rothay Road which leads onto Compston Road. Following the one way system, and turn left immediately before Zeffirelli's Cinema and then second left onto Millans Park. Again follow the one way system around Millans Park and this lovely home is found on the left hand side shortly before rejoining the two way section of the road. Millans Park is a quiet residential area away from the main hustle and bustle of Ambleside which remains literally only a few yards away.
The property can also be reached on foot from our office by simply turning right next to the Climbers Shop then bearing right again onto Millans Park where the property is found a short walk around as the road bears left.
Description If you have ever toyed with the idea of escaping the rat race, being your own boss and living in arguably the most beautiful place in the country, then Brantholme might just be your dream ticket.
Superbly located in peaceful surroundings with wonderful panoramic views looking west to Loughrigg around to the dramatic sweep of the Fairfield Horseshoe, this spacious 4 storey semi-detached bed and breakfast is nevertheless just yards from the beating heart of Ambleside. This popular small market town is the hub of the Lake District National Park, as a quick glance of a map of the region reveals – the beautiful lakes which give the region its name appear to radiate out from Ambleside, like the spokes on a wheel.
The National Park is now a Unesco World Heritage Site, which is certain to attract even more tourists each year (a further 3 million annually, it has been estimated) to enjoy all which is on offer, and with the likelihood of more Britons holidaying in the UK in the coming years there has possibly never been a better to enter the hospitality industry.
Brantholme is so much more than just a business venture however, it is a wonderful home which has been extensively modernised and re-designed over the past five years or so to create a welcoming atmosphere for guests and owners alike.
The letting space includes seven double bedrooms, all with modern en-suite facilities superbly equipped with full baths and separate shower cubicles. One even includes a sitting room suite. The spacious bay fronted dining room enjoys a lovely view at the rear and is large enough to accommodate evening dining in comfort if desired, although the options in the town mean that this is by no means a necessity for those for whom achieving the correct life/work balance is paramount. There is a dedicated kitchen and a spacious reception area. The self contained lower floor apartment would make excellent owners accommodation if desired and currently includes three bedrooms, two sitting rooms, a second kitchen and a bathroom. There is plenty of off road car parking provision as well as a residents parking scheme on Millans Park.
Could this be the moment to alter the course of the rest of your life for the better? Why not make a start by coming to view?

Honed For The Track – At Home On The Streets: The 2022 ...
Honed For The Track – At Home On The Streets: The 2022 Toyota GR Supra
Toyota's authentic sports car serves up pure driving pleasure at every turn.
TORONTO, ONTARIO – August 2, 2021 – Inject some rocket fuel into your life, with the 2022 Toyota GR Supra –available in two track-ready editions that push performance and style to the red line.
The GR Supra is a dream come true for driving enthusiasts," said Cyril Dimitris, Vice President, Toyota Canada Inc. "From the curb outside your bank, to the banked curves on the track, the GR Supra is an exhilarating sports car to view, to own, and to drive."
The heart of a true sports car is performance, and Toyota offers the GR Supra in two high-performance configurations for 2022. The GR Supra 3.0 sports a 3.0L twin-scroll single turbo inline six-cylinder power plant that delivers 382 HP and 368 lb-ft of torque, plus a fuel efficiency rating of 9.4L/100 km combined. Meantime, the GR Supra 2.0 features a 2.0L twin-scroll single turbo inline four-cylinder engine that produces 255 HP and 295 lb-ft of torque, plus a fuel efficiency rating of 8.4L/100 km combined. Teamed with a quick-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters and armed with a launch control function, plus driver-selectable Sport Mode, the GR Supra is ready to plant the competition firmly in the dirt on track days. Both models also feature Toyota's Active Sound Control system.
With its engine mounted low and close to the centre of the vehicle, the GR Supra enjoys optimalfront:rear weight distribution. This is combined with a short wheelbase, wide track, low centre of gravity, and a highly rigid body for exceptional cornering and precision handling. Active control features include vehicle stability control, traction control, ABS, high-start assist control, and brake assist.
Driving excitement starts even before the engine is fired up, as the GR Supra sports impressive style that immediately conveys its capabilities. Styling features scream performance, even as they help the GR Supra live up to its promise. The wide grille is flanked by large air intakes that channel air directly to the turbocharged engine. The "double-bubble" cabin roof pays homage to the design of the famed Toyota 2000 GT even as it reduces drag without sacrificing headroom. Six-lens LED headlights integrate both daytime running lamps and turn signals to create a distinctive lighting signature, while the auto levelling headlamp system keeps the light aimed where it's needed during spirited driving. LED taillights and a sport exhaust put the finishing touch on the body styling.
Inside, the driver-focussed cabin channels the feel of a single-seat racing car, while creating an open, roomy feel for whoever is lucky enough to be along for the ride. The heated seats feature integrated head restraints and adjustable side bolsters while the centre console is fitted with kneepads for extra support when leaning into corners. Other interior features include dual-zone auto climate control, leather wrapped steering wheel, an auto-dimming rear view mirror, carbon fibre interior trim, and aluminum scuff plates.
The Toyota GR Supra is also a technology showcase, featuring an 8" touch screen display with rotary control, Bluetooth connectivity, the Smart Key System with Push Button Start,and USB audio inputs.
Safety is always built into a Toyota, which is why the GR Supra features eight airbags, automatic high beams, a backup camera, a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, road sign assist, lane departure warning with steering assist, blind spot monitoring with rear cross traffic alert, a tire pressure monitoring system, rain-sensing wipers, and other safety systems to help keep everyone safe – driver, passenger, and other users of the road.
The GR Supra is offered as follows:
The 2022 Toyota GR Supra 2.0(starting MSRP: $56,510) featuresa digital gauge cluster, BREMBO brake system, 18" alloy wheels, power adjustable and heated exterior mirrors, seats finished with Alcantara upholstery, parking sensors, and a four-speaker display audio system with 8.8" touchscreen.
The 2022 Toyota GR Supra 3.0 Premium (starting MSRP: $67,820) features Toyota's Adaptive Variable Suspension system plus hollow front and rear stabilizer bars and additional bracing around the front strut towers to increase front-end rigidity. This model also sports an active exhaust system, an active differential to precisely control torque distribution between the rear wheels, 19" forged twin-spoke alloy wheels with a dual-tone finish, and the massive stopping power of BREMBO four-piston ventilated disc brakes, including 13.7" front brakes highlighted with red-painted, Supra-branded calipers. Other features include a driver's seat memory system linked to the exterior mirrors, leather upholstery, a 12-speaker, 425-watt JBL Audio System, embedded navigation, integrated Sirius XM Satellite Radio, wireless Apple CarPlay, a digital gauge cluster with head-up display, sport pedals, integratd garage door opener, and a wireless charger for compatible personal electronics.
The 2022 Toyota GR Supra is also available factory direct to certified racing teams without cruise control, parking sonar, or the blind spot monitor system.

I grew up with Scooby-Doo and it was always one of my favorites. In this movie the gang are on the brink of retiring (why???) but then a case comes up where they have to hunt down the 13th Ghost.
I won't give anything away but, as a side note, I will just say that the franchise has been hijacked by the Hollywood liberals who thought it would be a great idea to give this wonderful classic an LGBT touch. These people need locking up and medicating!
That said, it was a run-of-the-mill Scooby-Doo special. Nothing really exciting, here, but if you're a fan then you should be able to make it to the end.
One last thing. It would have been nice if they had given the Mystery Machine a technical upgrade instead of doing what they chose to do. Some things need to be left the hell alone. 6/10 from me. *Update - All the short bus libtards marking this review down can go swivel and make an appointment to get some professional help. MAGA!
