Is there a car in your possession? If this is true, then you've probably needed to get it repaired from time to time. It is important to find a credible auto repair service to tend to your needs. Luckily, this piece includes lots of tricks to help get you a great mechanic.
Keep a good battery charger in your car. People commonly experience dead batteries, making battery chargers good for helping stranded drivers. Familiarize yourself with how the charger hooks up to your battery.
Know what the repair is going to cost you before handing over your keys. If you don't understand something, make sure to clarify it first. Being hit with additional fees is something that you don't want to be surprised with.
Look at the reviews of local auto shops online. This can inform you of how the general public views their customer service skills as well as how well they do when it comes to solving the problem. The knowledge can be very helpful when it comes time to make a final decision on which place to go to with your car.
If you're headlights don't appear to be as bright as they once did, you may want to check their cleanliness. Dirt from driving can build up on your headlights and block some light. Use glass cleaner to clean them, and you will notice a big difference.
You need a spare tire and jack with you all the time. They are usually included when you buy a car. You would hate to be stuck out in the road and be forced to spend money on a tow. It is cheaper and easier when you do it on your own.
If you're having serious repairs done on your vehicle, make sure to get multiple estimates. While most mechanics can be trusted, you might wind up being charged more than is necessary. Find a shop that specializes in your particular make of car. They may have an easier time understanding what needs to be done to your car.
Consider finding someone who repairs cars in their own garage. If they're experienced then they probably can do quality work and they don't charge a lot either. This can help the home mechanic out and save you a lot of money over the charges of bigger repair shops.
Before you decide on an auto shop, ask your friends to talk about their car repair experiences. They can help point you in the right direction if so. Still do your homework on whoever they mention. Check online reviews at the very least.
Having your car suddenly stall and die while driving, especially on the highway, is not a pleasant feeling. This problem creates immediate hazards and now you have to find a mechanic who is able to repair your car. Which mechanic do you choose? Utilize the tips provided below in order to find the best mechanic, as well as how to spot potential warning signs that your vehicle needs repairing so that you can make small repairs yourself without the need of a mechanic.
Make sure that your mechanic is A.S.E certified before you let them work on your car. This means the technician has completed a test and has more than two years of experience. This means you will have an expert working on your car.
Know what your costs will be before handing your keys over to the mechanic. You want to make sure that you understand each and every charge, and if you do not then you need to clarify and ask questions before any work is done. This will give you a good idea of what you will be paying.
Understand your manual and mark important pages. Do not hesitate to let your mechanic know about what you learned from the owner's manual. After reading the manual, you might just find that you have an easy fix on your hands.
Before taking your vehicle to an auto repair shop, check out their online reviews. This will speak volumes about their customer service abilities and their skill in solving issues. The knowledge can be very helpful when it comes time to make a final decision on which place to go to with your car.
Consider using OEM parts. This means that they've come directly from the manufacturer. While generic parts may be cheaper, you'll never know how good the quality is. Though you may think you are getting a deal with generic parts, in the long run, you will end up paying double than you would have if you had gotten OEM parts.
Try figuring out the issue prior to going to get repairs. You can save lots of money if you diagnose the problem on your own, and you may also be able to prevent yourself from being swindled. It's an unfortunate fact that there are dishonest mechanics who will tell you your car has issues when it doesn't.

The excellence of Sanlorenzo yachts enchants the Singapore Yacht Show
April 10, 2019 7:02 am by content team
Sanlorenzo, a true excellence in the nautical world, will take part in the Singapore Yacht Show, one of the most important events in the yachting sector in Asia, together with its dealer Simpson Marine.
One of the main producers of yachts and superyachts worldwide, Sanlorenzo takes part in the ninth edition of this important event, a real point of reference for yachts and sea lovers, presenting some particularly evocative models of the style and elegance which have always characterized the brand since 1958.
On display the SL86, a 27-meter motoryacht and SD126, a semi-displacement 38-meter long yacht, to be presented to the public of professionals and enthusiasts
The result of decades of experience, SL86 combines tradition and innovation offering an incomparable level of customization in its category. The bulwark is cut to let the larger side windows catch as much light as possible and allowing guests to enjoy the sea view while seated on the living room sofa.
SD126 is a fiberglass superyacht with a hull with 4 bridges that combines the best technologies with the excellence of the most sought-after craftsmanship. The result is an impressive model for spaces and dimensions, but with lines that explicitly recall the harmony and elegance of the SD line. The SD126 is characterized by a layout that perfectly combines modern lines with evocative shapes, which recall the great transatlantic cruise ships of the 30s.
Two perfect examples of the unmistakable style and refined design which place Sanlorenzo yachts at the highest levels in the international production, where the Italian shipyard, in its 60 years of history, has become synonymous with absolute excellence in terms of innovation, refinement and attention to detail.

Editorial: Cybersecurity (October 2014)
Chris McPhee, Tony Bailetti
Welcome to the October 2014 issue of the Technology Innovation Management Review. This is the first of two issues covering the editorial theme of Cybersecurity, and I am pleased to introduce our guest editor, Tony Bailetti, Director of Carleton University's Technology Innovation Management program (TIM) and Executive Director (Acting) of the VENUS Cybersecurity Corporation.
This issue coincides with Cybersecurity Awareness Month in Canada. Previously, we covered the theme of Cybersecurity in July 2013 and August 2013. We hope you will read the articles in those issues as well.
In December, we will be publishing an unthemed issue, and I encourage you to get in touch if you would like to submit an article. We hope you enjoy this issue of the TIM Review and will share your comments online. Please contact us with article topics and submissions, suggestions for future themes, and any other feedback.
From the Guest Editor
Welcome to the October issue of the TIM Review. The October and November issues examine the theme of Cybersecurity. The contributions published in these two issues are the result of a very intensive industry, university, and government collaboration that started with the launch of the VENUS Cybersecurity Corporation in 2013.
We thank you for reading the journal and urge you to support initiatives to make cyberspace safe, productive, and creative for its users worldwide.
Thirteen authors contributed four articles, a Q&A, and a summary of a TIM Lecture to this issue of the TIM Review. Two of these authors work in industry, five in government, and four in universities. Two of the authors are completing their master program at Carleton University.
Tony Bailetti is at Carleton University; Renaud Levesque is Director General and D'Arcy Walsh is a Science Advisor at the Communications Security Establishment (CSE). Their article offers a view of a future state of the online world that places safety, productivity and creativity above all else.
Dan Craigen is a Science Advisor, Nadia Diakun-Thibault is Senior Science and Analytics Advisor, and Randy Purse is the Senior Learning Advisor at the Information Technology Security Learning Centre at the Communications Security Establishment (CSE). These authors propose a definition of cybersecurity that is concise, inclusive, meaningful, and unifying for the purpose of enabling enhanced and enriched interdisciplinary dialectics.
Mika Westerlund, Assistant Professor at Carleton University's School of Business, and Risto Rajala, Assistant Professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management at Aalto University in Helsinki, Finland, examine survey data from 109 value-added resellers of a multinational supplier. They show that resellers are more committed to stock and sell cybersecurity products and services if the supplier's digital channel marketing provides tools that help them sell the solutions to end customers.
Walter Miron is a Director of Technology Strategy at TELUS Communications and Kevin Muita is a graduate student in the Technology Innovation Management program at Carleton University. Their article examines relevant cybersecurity capability maturity models to identify the standards and controls available to providers of critical infrastructure in an effort to improve their level of security preparedness.
Chen Han is an independent consultant that leads technical teams to develop information system solutions. She and Rituja Dongre are both graduate students in the Technology Innovation Management (TIM) program at Carleton University. Their Q&A answers the question: What motivates cyber-attackers?
George Cybenko is the Dorothy and Walter Gramm Professor of Engineering at Darmouth College. He delivered the 6th TIM Lecture of 2014. Cybenko provided an overview of possible security metrics together with their pros and cons in the context of current information technology security practices. He also presented a modelling and simulation approach that produces meaningful quantitative security metrics as the basis for a more rigorous science of cybersecurity.
We encourage the readers of the TIM Review, their colleagues, and their organizations to act decisively to improve the security of cyberspace.

Beginning to study religion around the world
Religion is just about everywhere, but psychologists of religion have not studied it much beyond the United States and Western Europe. The International Death Survey was a step to address this cultural myopia, focussing on religion's relationship to death.

Death anxiety, exposure to death, mortuary preferences, and religiosity in five countries - Scientific Data
Design Type(s) crowd-sourcing design • data integration objective • subject-based data analysis objective Measurement Type(s) anxiety Technology Type(s) survey method Factor Type(s) sex • geographic location • Marital Status • Ethnic Group • age Sample Characteristic(s) Homo sapiens • United States…
When we try to explain some aspect of human behaviour, social psychologists typically reach either for cognitive factors or motivational factors. The distinction is a fuzzy one, but roughly speaking a cognitive factor is one about abilities and tendencies, whereas a motivational factor is one about needs and desires. The idea that some people are religious because they are not very smart is an example of a cognitive explanation of religious belief, as is the related but distinct idea that some people are religious because they think less analytically than atheists do. As a graduate student, I did not find these sorts of explanations especially interesting.
Rather, I as drawn to motivational theories that posited psychological needs and desires as causes of behaviour. Perhaps people are religious because they have a need to explain all the weird and wonderful things they see around them, from comets to coincidences, dreams to death. Speaking of which, perhaps people are religious because they fear death, and beliefs about souls and gods and the afterlife are obvious solutions to our inevitable mortality. Naïvely, just before starting my career as a researcher, I made a list of all the motivational factors that interested me: things like the fear of death and need to explain the world, as well as the desire not to be lonely and the wish for a just world. There were at least a half dozen things on the list, and I felt confident that I would be able to run several studies on each of them by the time I finished my PhD. in three years. Over a decade later, I have barely moved off the first item on the list.
Do you believe in God?—is fraught with historical and cultural traps. What word should we use for "God" in Japanese? Kami is the most obvious, but it is also quite ambiguous, referring to deities very generally. Amenominakanushi is much closer to the idea of God as creator, but it is quite specifically Shinto. Similarly Shu would be too Christian. Psychological measurement is difficult enough in a single cultural context: adding translation to the mix compounds the challenge, and success is impossible to guarantee.
International Death Survey was my first attempt to face the challenge, and I do not yet know if I succeeded. I worked with professional translators and psychologists and religious studies scholars, and produced what we hope are adequate translations of questions about various aspect of people's attitudes toward death and their relationship to religious or supernatural beliefs. The dataset we obtained can—if we have done a decent job—help to answer questions about the motivations behind religious belief, but also those about how attitudes toward death change with death-related experiences or about how different aspects of religiosity—beliefs, behaviours, experiences—are related to one another. It is not the only multi-country dataset in the world that includes questions about death or questions about religion, but the combination is unique, and other multi-country datasets rarely contain a small handful of questions about these topics. Conversely, studies that do delve into religiosity as a main variable of interest tend to focus on relatively few cultural contexts. The fact that Scientific Data has published more than one is itself a remarkable thing to be celebrated.
Despite its name, focussing on the death-y aspect, the hope of the International Death Survey is that it encourages more cross-cultural psychological research on religion. Indeed, I hope it encourages more cross-cultural psychological research in general. If psychologists want to understand humans and not just Americans or Brits or Kiwis or whatever, then we have to look far beyond our traditional local samples, testing the same hypotheses in diverse cultures.
The data descriptor Death anxiety, exposure to death, mortuary preferences, and religiosity in five countries is now available here.

eGames, the 'Olympics for esports' that currently lacks athletes
Nowadays, there remains a great discussion surrounding the participation of esports in the Olympic model, and it sounds good: an Olympic-style tournament featuring the most well-known titles across esports; the likes of League of Legends and Counter-Strike. It may also seem like a natural next step in mainstream recognition of eSports, just like Korea and China's inclusion of League of Legends in the Asian Games of 2018.
But how have these experiments panned out? The example here is that of the eGames of 2016, an event that had the purpose of presenting the "eGame" movement to the wider, mainstream audience of the world through mainstream media in order to to promote videogame competition to the non-gamer sector of the population.
While countries like Britain, USA, Canada and Brazil announced participating teams for the event, little was said regarding details until weeks before the event, many of the mainstream figures within the space were questionably absent: one would think the representatives would be well known players and part of estabilished teams, with little space to doubt their abilities.
However, the opposite held true: Brazil's example prevailed, as RED Canids owner and BRMA (the biggest esports event in Rio de Janeiro) organizer, Felippe Corradini, voiced his concern for the lack of contact from the countries' representatives: "We are not involved. They didn't contact us". The same held true of INTZ, another esports giant from Brazil.
With no prize pool and only the glory of receiving a gold medal for a tournament that isn't actually part of the Olympic Games, the likeliness of high profile players being present is pretty low.
In that sense, the 'Olympics of esports' experiment can be looked down upon as a big marketing event. There will be games and it will probably be in an Olympic format, but attracting players is something much bigger—and definitely more important.
eSports presence in the mainstream media has been a topic of conversation within the industry, and while the growth in reach has been moderate, yet steady, it doesn't seem the mainstream world is yet ready to welcome esports as their own, from any regular household.

The apartment is located on the first floor of the building, it is 100 sq. m./1077 sq.f. and has a maximum occupancy of four. It is made up of a large entrance, a spacious and comfortable living/dining area, two roomy bedrooms -each one with its own bathroom-, a fully equipped kitchen and a lovely inner courtyard.
Wi-Fi and air conditioning are in every room. A hot water heater provides hot water on demand. Professional linen service is included.
Restored using high-quality materials, such as Vietri majolica tiles and parquet floor, the property is furnished with elegant and modern furniture designed by reputable firms, and equipped with all conveniences.
The side of the apartment that opens on to the river is made up of the living/dining area and of the second bedroom with its own bathroom. Trust me: this is the pièce de resistance of this beautiful apartment: the views are just amazing! The Ponte Vecchio is right there, almost as if you could reach out and touch it, displaying its unrivalled beauty.
The second bedroom contains 2 twin beds that can be joined into one upon request, a wardrobe and a wooden rack for the luggage.
The master bedroom and the kitchen are on the opposite side of the apartment.
The master bedroom has its private ensuite bathroom, and contains a queen-sized bed, a wardrobe, and a rack for the luggage.
The kitchen is modern and fully equipped. It has everything gourmet renters need to cook delicious meals.
The apartment has everything to ensure the guests a pleasant and comfortable stay, including bed linens and bath towels, extra blankets and pillows, and thick sound-proof windows in every room. I have chosen to be an environment-friendly host: all the windows of my apartment allow very little heat and air conditioning dispersion.

A Book of the House with full information and pictures on the apartment and its utilities.
As I love to be your host, in the Book of the House there are also all the different ways guests can contact me (home and cell-phone numbers, email).
We stayed in this apartment for five days and it was just perfect. Everything worked and was exactly as described. At the end of every long and wonderful day, nothing was better than standing on our balcony with a glass of wine in hand looking out over the city and hearing the music playing from the bridge.
Alessandra's apartment is in the perfect location for visiting Florence. And when not out visiting the city or surrounding countryside, the apartment is a comfortable place to relax, being spacious and offering all the amenities a traveler could want, along with an incredible view of the Ponte Vecchio and Arno River. Four adults can share the space comfortably.
The apartment is absolutely beautiful and it contributed in large measure to our falling in love with Florence. Just wandering the streets was delightful and sitting in the living room looking at the lights on the River Arno and listening to live music were highlights. You will not be disappointed staying here.
Although we ate out for most dinners, it was great to have a nicely appointed kitchen to make breakfast and brew coffee. Both bedrooms and bathrooms are comfortable and private, making it easy to travel with another couple or with children.
The home was modern, clean, and had a more than adequate kitchen. The sheets and pillows are more luxurious than in other international rentals we have encountered, more along the lines of what I hoped to see.
The apartment is beautifully appointed, clean and secure. It is very spacious and easily comfortable for two couples. Having a full kitchen allowed us to prepare some meals in the apartment.

BriefingWire.com, 11/09/2018 - As noted in our recent article posted in Ezinearticles.com, the condition known as Peyronie's disease is marked by the emergence of a severely bent male organ. This male organ health condition can de distressing for those who suffer from it, as the degree of curvature can interfere with sensual enjoyment as well as causing pain and discomfort. And some men with a bent male organ may find themselves with a significantly curved hand as well – sometimes before their manhood is bent and sometimes after.
Some curvature of the member is not unusual. It's only when the degree of curvature is extreme that a man may have Peyronie's disease. This condition occurs when there is a build-up of scar tissue (sometimes referred to as plaque), generally in one area of the member.
Male organ skin and tissue is flexible, which is required for the manhood to expand and become tumescent. When a man is sensually excited, blood flows into the member, filling in the spongy tissue inside, which then expands. But the scar tissue that comes with Peyronie's disease lacks flexibility. Thus, as one part of the manhood expands as normal, the side with the scar tissue resists; it can expand only so far, causing curvature and a resulting bent male organ.
Scientists do not know all of the causes of the scar tissue that results in Peyronie's disease, but one of the most common causes is trauma to the member – either one big sharp blow (such as being hit forcefully in the manhood) or repeated smaller traumas (such as rough handling during sensual activity).
But there can be other causes as well. For example, scientists have noticed that about 30% of men with Peyronie's disease also develop scar tissue elsewhere on the body, implying a cause other than trauma. In some cases, a man with a bent male organ may also suffer from Dupuytren's contracture, which causes the hands to become curved. With Dupuytren's contracture, scar tissue hardens beneath the palm of a hand, causing a finger (or more often several fingers) to curve inward.
Called a connective tissue disorder, Dupuytren's is thought to be inherited, as there is a tendency for it to run in families. It also is more commonly found in people of northern European or Scandinavian heritage, again implying a genetic basis.
As some men with Dupuytren also have Peyronie's, and as both are curvature conditions, there is some speculation that both may have a similar point of origin. However, not enough is known about either disease at this point to determine exactly what (if any) causal connection may or may not exist between them.
In Dupuytren's, the curved fingers are often so slight that no treatment is needed. In other cases, corticosteroids may be recommended.
Similarly, sometimes Peyronie's may resolve on its own, so a doctor may take a wait-and-see approach initially. There are oral medications and injected medications which may also be utilized.
An excessively curved or bent male organ needs to be kept as healthy as possible. Employing a first rate male organ health creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) on a daily basis can help keep any male organ healthier. Since a very bent male organ often experiences some loss of sensation, a crème with L-carnitine is desirable.

This focus on excellence feeds into our main product areas and technology transfer drives continuous advances in software, design, simulation, testing and production processes.
Motorsport does not just shorten lead times for our sports car programmes and global platforms – it creates new value for customers. GKN Automotive's DNA can be found in everything from hybrid supercars that break Nurburgring records to hot hatches with drift modes that break the internet.
From Official Porsche Technology Partner on the 918 Spyder plug-in supercar, to complete driveline development for the Ford Focus RS, we use our high-performance know-how to make sports cars more rewarding to drive.
Our driveline technology helped power Audi's historic winning streak at Le Mans. The legendary Audi R18 e-tron quattro was the first hybrid car to win at Le Mans, going on to dominate the 24 hour endurance race by securing three consecutive victories. Working closely with Audi engineers, we fully integrated the kinetic energy recovery system.

Forfeitures provide funding, instead of taxpayers, for all the operating expenses of the Criminal District Attorney's Office as well as over 10% of the payroll. Since crime and criminals cost citizens a fortune emotionally and fiscally in lost/damaged property, insurance premiums, criminal justice expenses, it is only fair that the user of these government resources help fund the effort to fix problems they create.
Asset Forfeiture is a term used to describe the confiscation of assets, by the State, which are either: (a) Property that is used in the commission of a crime, (b) Proceeds gained from the commission of a crime, (c) Property acquired with proceeds gained from the commission of a crime, or (d) Property used to facilitate or intended to be used to facilitate the commission of a crime.
The primary responsibility of the Asset Forfeiture Division is to prosecute seizure and forfeiture cases pursuant to Chapter 59 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. Prior to the filing of a forfeiture lawsuit, our office assists law enforcement agencies in researching properties to be seized, advising the agencies on the legal requirements of prosecuting a forfeiture action, drafting and obtaining search and seizure warrants.
Once a forfeiture lawsuit has been filed, the assistant district attorney prosecutes the case to its conclusion. This division is responsible for obtaining service on the defendants, conducting civil discovery and presenting the evidence at trial. Once the case has concluded and a forfeiture judgment has been obtained, the investigator is responsible for seeing that the forfeited property is distributed pursuant to Texas law and in accordance with the local agreement in place between the seizing agency and the District Attorney's Office.
In addition to handling forfeiture lawsuits, this division also is responsible for reviewing and appearing on behalf of the State in all Petitions for Expunction of Records that are filed in Victoria County. The main role is to certify that the applicant has met all the statutory requirements to be entitled to an expunction. In cases where the applicant is not entitled to expunction, the office files its written opposition to the petition with the court and appears in court to argue against the petition being granted.

Home Entertainment Bollywood Kangana Ranaut Joins Twitter and Share her thoughts
Kangana Ranaut Joins Twitter and Share her thoughts
People took advantage of my absence from social media
Sajjad Ahmed
SC : Insta
Kangana Ranaut has always been very vocal about issues that are close to her heart. The Panga star has always been no filters attached as witnessed by her recent statements pertaining to Sushant Singh Rajput's death case. Hence, Ranaut has decided to become a more prominent presence on social media to use it as a tool to put across her point of views regarding social and unjust issues. Taking to Twitter, Kangana tweeted a video of herself announcing her entry on social media while confessing why she made the decision to do so.
The 33-year-actress began by acknowledging how she's been in the industry for around 15 years and counting while being pressurised on many occasions to join social media like other celebrities. Ranaut noted that ad agencies and brands are aware that there were several instances where she had crores worth of deal which had one clause; join social media. However, she let go of them. Kangana also stated how she's been called a chudail with twisted legs and that people took advantage of her absence from social media. However, Ranaut still didn't come on social media because she never felt that distance from her audience while also sharing that if she had something to say, why should she do it in a rudimentary way.
https://twitter.com/KanganaTeam/status/1296638256344252417
Kangana believes that through her films, she's imparted awareness on women issues and nationalism and wanted to put these points across in an artistic manner because she's an artist. That used to be the actress' initial perspective. But, that changed in 2020 when she got to see the power of social media. The actress saw how the nation came together to fight for Sushant Singh Rajput while also succeeding to do so. Because of this movement, Ranaut is hopeful that we can now raise our voice when it comes to New India reforms. This is why Kangana has come on Twitter for the first time admitting that she's so excited.
Ranaut wants her fans' well-wishes and is looking forward to this journey where she gets to know many amazing people. For Kangana, it's the beginning of a new relationship and she's looking forward to a great time being on Twitter. Ranaut signed off with a namaste.

Richard Stewart Addinsell, född 13 januari 1904 på Woburn Square i London, död 14 november 1977 i Brighton, var en brittisk kompositör.

Addinsell studerade juridik i Oxford och musik vid Royal College of Music i London men utan att fullborda någon examen. Därtill kom musikstudier i Berlin och Wien mellan 1929 och 1932. Från mitten av 1920-talet samarbetade han kring revyer och teaterföreställningar i London. Han skrev i light music-stil och komponerade vid pianot och överlät orkestrering till andra, bland dem Roy Douglas, Leonard Isaacs och Douglas Gamley. Han skrev musiken till ett stort antal filmer.

Warszawakonserten
Ett av Addinsells mest kända verk är musiken till filmen Dangerous Moonlight (1941) som också är känd som Suicide Squadron. Filmproducenterna hade önskat musik i Rachmaninovs stil, men inte fått denne att ställa upp. Addinsell skrev musiken som orkestrerades av Roy Douglas. Den har spelats in på skiva mer än hundra gånger. Som fristående verk är den en rapsodi för piano och orkester, Warsaw Concerto.

Verk i urval

Filmmusik
Fire Over England, (Eld över England), 1936 (filmpremiär 1937)
Goodbye, Mr. Chips, 1939
Q Planes, 1939
Dangerous Moonlight, 1941
Blithe Spirit, 1944
Under Capricorn, 1949
The Prince and the Showgirl, (Prinsen och balettflickan), 1957

Issue 59.2 marked Westerly's sixtieth year of publication and the retirement of its co-editors. Issue 60.2 will be the first with Catherine Noske in charge. Unsurprisingly the editors describe this issue as 'a bridge between two distinct eras'. There are links to the past in previously unpublished material: memoir from Dorothy Hewett and photographs by Randolph Stow. Concern for Aboriginal displacement is palpable in Kate Leah Rendell's essay on Stow, as it is in Tony Hughes-d'Aeth's analysis of 'the assimilation dream' through Jack Davis's play The Dreamers (1982).
The past is registered in different bodies in Marcella Polain's 'A Hill Road' and Martin Kovan's 'Trade Routes', while cultural implications yield to the more personal in other poems: David McGuigan's 'Nursing-Home Memory' uses the present participle – 'tearing', 'twirling' – to evoke both the past-in-the-present and youthful energy, as does Rose Lucas in the delicately suggestive 'Daughters', while Paul Hetherington plays with temporal and locational spaces in dense renditions of water.


FINANCE: Saleem has not gotten final numbers yet for the ski swap. Working with Steve Heller the totals were about $240 off.
Total sales of swap were down from last year.
E-WEB: Cathy received a letter back from Paypal about lowering the percentage. We can but we would have to fill out a 20 page application with the IRS. Percentage will stay the same.
OLD BUSINESS: Transferring of our storage unit went well.
Next meeting will be at Sconni's on January 20, 2016.


Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and line bottom of chosen baking tin. Square, loaf, round or even muffin tray – however you prefer to eat it!
Combine flour with white and brown sugar in a large bowl. Beat eggs, melt butter, mash bananas (I keep mine a little bit chunky) and add to bowl along with the sour cream.
Mix together using a large wooden spoon. Spoon into a lined tin and bake for approximately 40 minutes. Allow to cool in tin.
Once cooled, slice the cake horizontally into two halves. Spread the mascarpone to cover the bottom layer. Arrange the sliced mango evenly over the mascarpone and return the top layer of the cake. To make the icing beat together the cream cheese, icing sugar and lemon juice.
Remove cake from tin and place on cake tray/stand. Use a butter knife dipped in a mug of boiling water to ice. I sometimes decorate with lavender picking or for something more edible, try coconut.
Remember! If you feel as though including the filling AND the icing is way too many calories, you are probably right! If you opt for the filling, forget the icing and sprinkle with a little icing sugar instead.

It has been 30 days since I last posted on the blog. :( It has been 18 days since I last vacuumed my house, and it has never been cleaner. :) That's because for my birthday this year (the big 3-2) I got a Roomba 870! A. Robot. Vacuum. Cleaner. So awesome! I just love telling Roomba where to go and what room to clean next and listening to his little beep beep boop when he's off on his "missions." We bought it used (like new) from Amazon warehouse deals for a great price. My only complaint is that he cannot go up and down stairs. :) and he sometimes gets stuck on the glider in Georgia's room or wedges himself under Michael dresser. But aside from rescuing him occasionally and charging him and emptying his dust bin daily, he is mostly maintenance-free. He even knows not to fall down the stairs! I hear they sell a remote control so I can turn him on and off while I'm sitting on the couch and steer him around obstacles (like a baby on the floor!?) so I'm hoping to get that little gadget for Christmas! :) Hooray technology... what will they think of next?
I have been wanting a new potting bench for a while. Since I gave my shutter potting bench to my mother, we never had anywhere to work on plants or to put things while we are grilling, so this table will do double duty as potting station and grilling station! We put it right by the back door on the patio. I haven't used it for planting yet, but I'm sure I will come Spring. The design is something I saw on Pinterest. I sent my dad a picture and he built it for my birthday present. My mom stained it for me. We're planning to stain the deck the same shade next year. Thanks Papa and Mama for my handsome new bench! I can't wait til Spring rolls around so I can accessorize it more with cute garden-y things!
We also have an update in the garden. Fall has come and we've decided to do away with our big garden plot in favor of planting our vegetables along with our flowers in the existing full sun beds. The tilling/weeding/planting and harvesting was just too much work and it all seemed to fall to my mother (tireless though she may be). So we decided to plant the garden area with grass and just enjoy the space as a yard. We will have a bigger place to play frisbee and for Riley to run without getting muddy! I am still considering the idea of raised beds for some vegetable plants. We might decide to add those later on when we have more free time and Georgia is a little older. She can help pull weeds! :) Or she can play on her swingset nearby while I pull weeds. Haha! And we're still chipping away at the planting of the creekbank. I haven't been much help, what with constantly tending to a new baby, but perhaps next year we will start to make a bigger dent on that project.
Since I've turned 32, Georgia has turned 4 months old. She's really growing fast! She is drooling all the time and puts everything in her mouth. She loves her toys and tries to grab them from the hanging mobile and chew on them. She "talks" all the time and squeals and smiles at everyone. She just laughed for the first time today! She's getting more mobile, pushing herself along with her feet, flopping around and trying to turn over. She loves toys with blinking lights and she is captivated by the television! She's a joy and a delight, and a huge distraction to all my former hobbies! That's why you've seen so little of me lately. :) It's a small price to pay for the reward of watching this cutie transform from a tiny newborn into a chubby, adorable, interactive baby!
Hope you are enjoying this wonderful arrival of fall! Hope to see you back here soon!

In Search of Marie-Antoinette in the 1930s follows Austrian biographer Stefan Zweig, American producer Irving Thalberg, and Canadian-American actress Norma Shearer as they attempt to uncover personal aspects of Marie-Antoinette´s life at the French court in the late eighteenth-century and to dramatize them in biography, cinema, and performance for public consumption during the 1930s. The first chapter establishes the core subject as an inquiry into the respective contributions of Zweig, Thalberg, and Shearer in formulating an ´´objective´´ or ´´authentic´´ image of ´´Marie-Antoinette.´´ The three chapters that follow examine in some detail how Zweig pursued research and drafted the psychological biography at his Salzburg home, Thalberg acquired film rights to the best-selling book and fought the censors to preserve the more sensational aspects of the screenplay at the Culver City studio, and Shearer worked closely with a new producer to give the script a strong romantic angle and to perform the character of the queen on the sound stage. The professionals´ research standards and strategic objectives are weighed in the formulation of a new myth at once sensitive to the historical record and suited to the leisure market.
How did the most powerful nation on earth come to embrace terror as the organizing principle of its security policy? In The Theater of Operations, Joseph Masco locates the origins of the present-day U.S. counterterrorism apparatus in the Cold War´s ´´balance of terror´´. He shows how, after the attacks of 9/11, the U.S. global War on Terror mobilized a wide range of affective, conceptual, and institutional resources established during the Cold War to enable a new planetary theater of operations. Tracing how specific aspects of emotional management, existential danger, state secrecy, and threat awareness have evolved as core aspects of the American social contract, Masco draws on archival, media, and ethnographic resources to offer a new portrait of American national security culture. Undemocratic and unrelenting, this counterterror state prioritizes speculative practices over facts, and ignores everyday forms of violence across climate, capital, and health in an unprecedented effort to anticipate and eliminate terror threats - real, imagined, and emergent. 1.

From the first landings at Casablanca straight through to the crossing of the Elbe River and V-E Day, this book tells the gripping story of the European theater of operations battles of World War II that American soldiers, sailors, and airmen took part in and of the strategy behind them. The book´s core is its account of such famous and dramatic episodes as the landings in North Africa, Kasserine Pass, Salerno and Anzio; D-day; the liberation of Paris; the Battle of the Bulge; the crossing of the Rhine; and the race across Germany. It also tells the story of the conflicts between American and other Allied leaders over how to pursue the war and of convoys, U-boat wolf packs, the aerial war over Germany, the bombing of Dresden, and the final surrender of the Nazis. MacDonald takes the listener back to the build-up to war, looking at the circumstances of the American decision during the early 1930s to concentrate, if war should come, on victory in Europe first; and he describes in detail the ways that America forged a disciplined fighting force when war broke out. MacDonald´s portrayal of major military figures - George S. Patton Jr., Mark W. Clark, and J. Lawton Collins, among others - is both fair and penetrating, and he pays particular attention to other leaders whose accomplishments are not as well known. His sources include official US Army records and direct interviews with noncommissioned officers, privates, and top-level participants such as Generals Eisenhower and Bradley. His account also reflects intensive work with original documents and with many newly available sources as well as his own experiences in the war as the commander of an infantry rifle company. The Mighty Endeavor is a thoroughly researched history. 1. Language: English. Narrator: Traber Burns. Audio sample: http://samples.audible.de/bk/blak/009442/bk_blak_009442_sample.mp3.

PART III. FROM TORONTO TO MARRAKESH: CHRONICLE OF A MOROCCAN RUG BUYING VOYAGE
by John Honeyman
On August 30, Mellah sent senior correspondent John Honeyman from Toronto, Canada to Marrakesh, Morocco on a rug buying trip. Over the next 4 weeks Mellah will be publishing his dispatches from the cities and souks of Morocco. See below for Part 3 or click here for part 1, here for part 2.
THE ROAD TO ESSAOUIRA
Mustafa has a different rental Dacia Logan now, this time a diesel model in forest green. The gas light has been on since we got it from the rental agency outside Mustafa's apartment, but it doesn't perturb him much. He smokes and talks on his cell phone while driving 120 kilometers an hour on a road with a speed limit of 60. He weaves through the ubiquitous donkeys and motorbikes, swearing and making obscene hand gestures at other drivers. His particular brand of road rage is funny: he needs to instruct as much as berate. Each transgression is a teachable moment in acid-tongued Arabic. The offenders are made acutely aware of how they are fucking up, and they appear both bemused and chastened. This all fits into what I dub Mustafa's "daddy complex." We have taken on semi-serious nicknames of "Buddy" and "Daddy." Daddy is the wise, all powerful leader, while Buddy is the acquiescent and impotent patsy who has taken the backseat to Daddy's whims. Daddy sets every day's agenda, rents the cars, buys the food and deals with the vendors in Arabic. At the best of times, transparency is not a core competency of Moroccan rug dealers—in fact they thrive and profit from the information deficit between themselves and the buyers. Mustafa takes this opacity to near Nixonian levels. I cede control and autonomy via this confidence sapping and demeaning arrangement, but I also welcome it. I no longer feel like an experienced traveler, a business owner and a father; I feel like a mute with a wallet ready to be fed and transported by my wise and benevolent daddy. We joke about it, but like any joke worth laughing at, it is also mainly true: the nicknames are accurate. We pull into a gas station just as the car is about to die and Mustafa puts in ten liters, even though 200 kilometers remain on our trip to the coast. He puts the gas in the car while I sit and read the newspaper on my phone. He pays, naturally.
Marrakesh was hot. Like, really hot. Every day was at least 45 degrees, cloudy, and humid. Moroccans opened conversations with weather woes, similar to Canadians in the dead of winter. It had been exhausting choosing the rugs from Choukri's store, and I was desperate to get to the coast for cooler temperatures. We needed to leave and Mustafa was happy to take me.
The plains outside of Marrakesh are dry and desolate, only occasionally punctuated by towns and palm oases. There are scrubby argan trees along the side of the highway, whose kernels are harvested to make oil for food and beauty products. Goats like to eat the nuts straight from the source, and climb the trees to the get them. Goatherds are happy to take a few dirhams from tourists for photos. There are a few cities, the most notable being Chichaoua, famous for its eponymous monochromatic red rugs. Mustafa and I stop in Chichaoua for fried chicken and so I can make several withdrawals from an ATM to settle a deal we had made in Marrakesh for wedding blankets. I am surprised that my bank in Canada allows this. I give Mustafa his 8000 dirhams. Buddy is fed and Daddy is rich.
We arrive in Sidi Kaouki, a small seaside town 13 kilometers from Essaouira. The air is cooler, and the villa that Mustafa has rented is comfortable and clean. There are a few restaurants, guests houses and surf shops along the coast, and surfers—both Moroccan and tourists—bob just past the breakers. Groups of Moroccan boys play soccer on the beach and guides snooze against their idle camels. I observe all this from the patio of our villa. The heat and hustle of Marrakesh has exhausted me, and I'm content to sit in a comfortable chair and look at the Atlantic ocean, grateful that I am not in a carpet shop. Mustafa gets bored and disappears with the Logan while I return inside in search of English satellite TV channels . I find a children's movie and nod off for a little.
The sunset view from our villa in Sidi Kaouki.
Mustafa returns with cold beer, white wine, two tagines, and a greasy paper bag of fried shrimp and calamari. The mood has lifted. We have been spending too much time with each other— especially because we don't know each other that well—and the latent transactional character of our relationship has made the vibe a little terse and awkward at times. We eat and drink on the patio and talk about our families. Mustafa has two little girls who live in Germany and he misses them greatly. They are homeschooled and live on an organic farm with his German wife, and come to Marrakesh only a few times a year. Mustafa hustles hard to make money to support them, and he never stops working. Even as we eat he conducts business on his phone, which, like mine, has as many pictures of rugs as it does of his children.
Takeaway, Moroccan style. No disposable dishes here—we returned the clay tagines the next day.
The next day we drive to Essaouira. By now, I am used to Mustafa's driving and it doesn't phase me as he accelerates to 120 kilometers an hour in blind curves on a narrow road. I scoff at the gas light. The air feels wonderful and I am excited to go to Essaouira, a very relaxed city by Moroccan standards. We walk by the main harbor where the fishing boats are docked. Stray cats and gulls compete for fish remnants and fishermen bring in the day's catch. We stroll through the main square on our way to get soup at Mustafa's friend's restaurant. Along the way Mustafa upbraids a man for mistreating a donkey, admonishes some kids for getting too close to us while they're playing soccer, and gives money to every single beggar we see. Like in Marrakesh, Mustafa knows everyone; it is impossible to walk more than a few meters before he stops to greet friends with the double cheek kiss and longer-than-casual conversations. We eat soup, buy some argan oil, and go to Patisserie Driss for coffee and pain au chocolat before we return to our patio, satellite TV, and swimming pool in Sidi Kaouki. The respite has been welcome, but there is still much work to do in Marrakesh, and Mustafa and I are getting antsy.

Nick Abbott is the Head of Training at iKOS Digital Services. Nick started his digital life in 1981 working on an ICL 2904 mainframe, a Commodore PET, and a Commodore VIC20. After the ritual stint in BASIC, he moved on to to writing games in Z80 and 6502 assemblers, hardware interfacing, and many happy hours creating business solutions with the BBC Micro based around the Acorn View family. Old but not obsolete. He graduated First Class in Applied Physics in the late 1980s and worked in IT and Education right up until he joined iKOS Digital Services in 2008.
Richard Jones is Technical Director of iKOS Digital Services—a European Digital agency specializing in Drupal. Richard's first computer was an 8-bit BBC Master and his journey into computing proper, indeed his first introduction to working with Nick, was by way of a school database project using the then legendary Acorn ViewStore package—way ahead of its time as an EPROM-based offering. He graduated First Class in Mechanical Engineering in 1996 and has been working in various web technologies ever since.
They have both worked exclusively in Drupal for all projects for 7 years. Richard and Nick have been collaborating on projects since the mid-1990s and have a great balance of skills between them that mean the first draft of collaborative work will have already been through many critical rewrites.

Fango sulle stelle (Wild River) è un film del 1960 diretto e prodotto da Elia Kazan come omaggio allo spirito del New Deal in cui il regista si era formato.

Trama
L'ingegnere Chuck Glover, che lavora alla costruzione di una diga sul fiume Tennessee, è incaricato di acquistare o, se necessario, espropriare i terreni che verranno sommersi dalla nuova costruzione. L'uomo incontra l'unica opposizione da parte di Ella Garth, un'anziana che vive su un'isoletta insieme ai figli e alla giovane nipote Carol e che rifiuta di cedere la terra su cui ha trascorso tutta la vita e dove è sepolto il marito. Carol, già madre e vedova, si innamora dell'ingegnere benché fidanzata e si schiera dalla sua parte, capendo come la lotta di sua nonna contro il progresso sia vana. Altri problemi per Chuck sorgono quando decide di dare agli operai neri la stessa paga dei colleghi bianchi suscitando così la reazione dei razzisti locali, dai quali verrà ripetutamente malmenato. Nonostante la simpatia umana che prova per la signora Garth, Chuck esegue il suo compito: l'isolotto viene espropriato e la donna, abbandonata anche dai figli, è trasferita con la forza in una nuova casa. Lo stesso giorno in cui Chuck e Carol, appena sposati, lasciano in aereo il Tennessee giunge loro la notizia della morte di Ella.

Accoglienza
Il film, presentato al Festival di Berlino, non ebbe successo di pubblico alla sua uscita, forse a causa della tematica ecologista in anticipo sui tempi.

Riconoscimenti
Nel 2002 è stato inserito nella lista dei film conservati dal National Film Registry presso la Biblioteca del Congresso.

Cast
L'attore Bruce Dern esordì nella parte di Jack Roper.

While both David and I visited Sydney this year, we didn't do it together! He visited with his mom, and I visited with my parents. My favorite part of the trip was the boat ride back from Manly Beach where we got amazing views of the Opera House. Such a beautiful building.
Having our families visit gave us the perfect excuse to take a few days off from work and see more of this amazing country.
Our first week in Brisbane, David surprised me with a year pass to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. For an animal lover, it was the perfect gift and we spent many lazy Sundays chilling with the kangaroos and other Aussie animals. However, on our hiking trips we were able to see a lot of the animals in the wild as well, especially kangaroos, wallabies, cockatoos, rainbow lorikeets and brush turkeys.
Thanks to our lovely campervan, we were able to see some spectacular sunsets (like this one in Bribie Island) and sunrises. We have decided that camping is much better in the fall and winter (no waking up at 4:30 am covered in sweat) but that if we get a surfboard/SUP board, it will totally be worth it.
For all of you who have been following our adventures, THANK YOU for reading the blog and I hope you've enjoyed it.
I'm off to America on Tuesday, but after that I'm happy to announce that I have a bridging visa to come back to Aussieland for now! We are waiting to see if David's visa is approved, and depending on if it is, either we will be here another year, or will take some time off for traveling.
Hi Guys! We nominated you for the 2017 Blogger Recognition Award. Congratulations!!! You can check the article here: http://www.yamventures.com/nominated-blogger-recognition-award-2017/ Thank you and keep on doing what you love!

Number 1 mountain bike tour operator
Exciting times at H+I Adventures as we are named Scottish Mountain Bike Tour Operator of the Year.
H+I Adventures, Scotland's number 1 mountain bike tour operator
At H+I Adventures we are perfectionists, we are artists, we are innovators and we are driven by belief that you can always do better. We never rest on our laurels and anyone who has travelled with us at our home base in the Highlands of Scotland, or any of our other 10 destinations around the world will confirm this. We leave no stone unturned when we explore the world to craft a new mountain bike adventure and become the worlds number 1 mountain bike tour operator.
So, when we were recently voted 'Scottish Mountain Bike Tour Operator of the Year' at an international industry awards ceremony in Scotland, we were absolutely over the moon.
It takes around two years for us to launch one of our new mountain bike tours. We try as many trails, accommodations and restaurants as possible, we try every road, juggle countless logistical headaches, and smooth out cultural differences in order to craft the best mountain bike, cultural and gastronomic tour that each destination has to offer.
The company started life in Scotland almost 10 years ago delivering Scottish mountain bike adventures to customers from around the globe. We quickly identified our unique approach to mountain bike travel and pushed to develop the most innovative and forward-thinking mountain bike tour operation in the adventure travel and mountain bike industries.
We have created a world-first tour in Norway, won awards for our innovative coast-to-coast tour in Scotland, seen our Nepal adventure hosting the inaugural Yeti Cycles International Tribe Gathering and crafted some of the industry's most revered tour videos.
To be recognised as the best Scottish Mountain Bike Tour Operator means so much to us for two main reasons: Firstly, the industry itself has recognised the quality of our tours and the overriding customer satisfaction we strive for year in year out. Secondly, this award was given at an international mountain biking conference in Scotland where the main focus was innovation, something we strive to achieve in everything we do at H+I.
I am immensely proud of the team we have at H+I Adventures, from guides, to logistics specialists, to marketing experts, drivers, chefs, mechanics and even a ship's captain… they all give 110% to the H+I mission to deliver an unforgettable experience and service to every one of our riders from around the globe. As a result of our team's dedication, many of our riders become like family to us, returning time and time again for the H+I experience and securing their place in our 'International Clan of Adventurers'.
So, here's to another ten years of holding the bar as high as possible, and to continuing to innovate, believing in each other and travelling the world with the greatest extended family that anyone could ever wish for!
Lastly a quick thanks to everyone who has helped to craft the 'Art of Adventure' over the past ten years:
Alex Glasgow, Kev Henderson, Chris 'the bear' Gibbs, Donald 'Kashi' Shearer, Mark Clark, Steve 'Faither' Bradley, Ross Dunn, Big Ben Thomson, Tim Winterburn, Andy McCandlish, Trevor Clark, Rachid Dahnoun, Stefan Neuhauser, Julián Manrique, Gregg Bleakney, Juanito Olave Fajardo, Efraín Tarriba, Berne Broudy, Danny MacAskill, Steve Peat, Hans Rey, Thomas Vanderham, Matt Hunter, CJ, Sterling, Jane and Louise, Lindsay and Ben, Leander, Zieggy, Jacques, Mandil, RJ, Suranje, Nishant, Geoff, Liam, Ash, Cali, Javier, Ursula, Dani, Miha, Marco, Sven, Tash, Ole, Marsha, Sylvain, Dave, Matt, Shaun, Greg, Jorge, José, Antonio, Rebeca, José, Rubén, Cristián, Orlando, Ernesto 'Advantage' Araneda, Conroy, Jan, Holger, and the countless other people who have had a hand in creating what you see today.
But most importantly I would especially like to thank my wife and business partner Catherine, she is the smiling glue that holds this collection of creative misfits and headstrong tour leaders together without missing a beat, ever!
Euan Wilson, H+I Adventures co-director
Looking for more inspiration?


Daria Zadarnowska graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in 2017 with a BA Honours in Fine Art. She is currently living and working in Glasgow.
I was immediately intrigued by Daria's work at her degree show in June at DJCAD. The pieces were hung in a row at eye level and looked a little like large biblical 'tablet' stones. Looking closer, the surface was more organic and worked by hand-the urge to touch it was almost irresistable! Each wax layer had been carefully applied to encase delicate flowers and handwritten script surrounding a photographic female image.
Her work has a contemplative, spiritual quality that reaches beyond her own religious faith. The translucent quality of the surface of each work gives it an ethereal, delicate shell-like surface, possibly a poetic metaphor for the human body and the free spirit it contains.
We have been working with Daria to put together a small selection of exquisite mixed media works exclusive to Curious Egg. Each piece has been created using waxes, varnish and hand selected botanicals as well as manipulated imagery created by the artist. Each piece has a sculptural 'block' like structure with handworked surface and can be hung easily on the wall.
"My work aims to represent my belief in God's presence as a subtle and abstract conception. My faith is the main inspiration for my work even though the use of Christian symbolism is limited. I perceive God's presence upon us as something beautiful, bright and dynamic. This allows me to utilise light colours, female figures and ethereal imagery worked around the simplicity of nature through fragments.
The encaustic technique which my practice evolves around dates back to the 5th century B.C and involves fusing together numerous layers of molten beeswax, damar resin and pigments. I found the use of beeswax an extraordinary medium to create a translucent and enigmatic effect on my work.
