Why you should care about net neutrality
The soporific name is enough to induce apathy, but net neutrality is a topic that should concern everyone who believes in the open internet. Yesterday, visitors to major websites like Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Twitter saw messages about the future of the internet, with the much-reviled loading icon serving as a sort of mascot. It was all part of "net neutrality day of action," a last-ditch effort to raise awareness and encourage comments to the Federal Communications Commission, which will decide the future of the issue.
In the simplest terms, net neutrality rules prohibit internet service providers like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast from blocking websites, slowing them down, or striking deals with companies to provide them with premium services.
Under Obama, the FCC reclassified internet access as a Title II telecommunications service and imposed strict net neutrality rules on internet service providers classifying them as utilities, which basically means that all internet content must be treated the same in the way it is delivered to broadband customers.
But new Federal Communications Commision Chairman Ajit Pai wants to roll back those rules, leaving ISPs to regulate themselves. Pai and his supporters argue that the regulation is slowing investment in broadband development, and that the reins need to be loosened to spur competition. There is some data that supports the idea that investment is slowing, but a recent USA Today study shows that blaming net neutrality rules for that situation is an oversimplification.
For media consumers, the loss of net neutrality could affect which websites they access and the speed with which those sites load, creating a have and have not dichotomy that would likely damage smaller publishers. The winners in this scenario would be major companies that could afford to strike deals with the ISPs, and, of course, the ISPs themselves. As Nilay Patel writes in an excellent and comprehensive overview of the issue for The Verge, "Rolling back Title II is a massive corporate handout that will line the pockets of Comcast and AT&T, while doing nothing for the average American."
Below, more on the day of action and what's next for net neutrality.
Questions and answers: The Guardian's Olivia Solon has a good overview of why the net neutrality protest matters.
The Internet is Fucked (again): Patel's column for The Verge is worth your time. It's the best, most thorough explanation of the issue and its history that I've seen.
Companies come together: The New York Times's Cecilia Kang has screengrabs from around the internet showing the way various companies participated in the day of action.
Infotainment: It may not be traditional journalism, but John Oliver does a better job than anyone at taking on net neutrality in an entertaining way.
Time for a rebrand: Earlier this year, The Outline's Andy Martino argued that net neutrality advocates need to figure out a better message.
Speaking of the internet, CJR columnist Trevor Timm says that getting President Trump blocked from Twitter would be a huge mistake. Meanwhile, I looked at a new lawsuit from the Knight First Amendment Institute that seeks to prevent Trump's account from blocking users who disagree with him.
In the latest effort by coastal media organizations to engage with Middle America, HuffPost staff members will be taking a seven-week bus tour through the country to "listen and learn." Politico's Hadas Gold has the story.
After two months of granting interviews only to Fox News, President Trump spoke with Reuters's Steve Holland and Christian Broadcasting Network's Pat Robertson. The president told Holland that he didn't know about his son's 2016 conversation with a Russian lawyer until recently, and that he didn't fault Don Jr. for taking the meeting.
Lydia Polgreen and co. aren't the only ones on the road. The Wall Street Journal's Reid J. Epstein and Deepa Seetharaman report on the conditions that regular Americans agree to when Mark Zuckerberg comes to visit.
After allegations that Kevin Deutsch had fabricated sources in his book, Pill City, Newsday undertook an investigation into the 600 stories he had written for the outlet. Its review found "77 stories with 109 individuals from Deutsch's reporting whom Newsday could not locate." Deutsch responded on his blog, standing behind his reporting.

Let me tell you what I did. I started making serious money and the first thing I did... Bought my studio equipment, then I bought a new camera to increase the video quality for you guys to enjoy my videos more so you take me more seriously... then I bought and furnished my Smart Rapper show set so you take me more seriously as well.


Every new year promises to be brighter than the previous one. While it could mostly be wishful thinking, here are the top 10 trends that may shape 2016. Marketing folks watch out!
2015 has been a fantastic year for digital media and marketing. Digital space is no longer niche. So we can stop calling digital as New Media. Facebook, Twitter, Google are as much part of our lives today as are Print, Television and Cinema. And the best part is digital has not replaced other traditional media as was predicted by many.
Consumers are living connected lives. They do not differentiate between new and old media. It is one world – a digital world for them that connects various media forms & platforms seamlessly. Conveniently switching from screens or consuming multiple screens/messages at the same time. Look at the numbers.
The most watched Live Sports event on TV is also the most watched live sports event online and is also the most tweeted moment in India in 2015. – India V Pakistan – World Cup 2015.
This year saw the launch of a host of over-the-top content (OTT) platforms challenging the monopoly of YouTube. Users are looking beyond run of the mill User Generated Content. Demand for curated content is on the rise.
Going by news reports more OTT players (local and international) will join the play. A lot will be dependent on how the technology & infrastructure will adapt. Cheaper, faster bandwidth/ WiFi will enable more 'on the go' content consumption. Success of Jio & 4G will propel demand for On demand content.
When it comes to social video performance, this year marketers have experienced the exponential power of Facebook Video. The video ecosystem play will be interesting with TV channels, OTT players, online content creators, Facebook, Twitter & YouTube fighting and feeding off each other.
After days of guessing the Twitter actual user base in India the numbers are out. About 22 million users, roughly 17% of Indian social network users. However Twitterati represent voices that define and shape the public discourse. Despite lower reach compared to Facebook (130 mn), most listening tools largely pick up Twitter conversations. So brands looking for actionable insights through social conversations get largely Twitter b(i)ased insights.
2016 will be the year when various tools will open up Facebook data for more insight gathering beyond one's own brand page. Going beyond public data even private data can get anonymously reported to provide a directional sense without compromising on user privacy. Twitter through its TV ratings (available in US) is staking claim as the companion app for TV viewers. With better data availability, Facebook may push hard on that front as well.
WhatsApp may open up the platform to more analytics to begin with and subsequently open up for marketers to do some focused engagement.
Programmatic buying – catch me if you can!
The focus will be more on who should see the ad than when and where. Targeting & Retargeting the most relevant audience set for a desired outcome will be the driving force for media buying which will be more real time than ever.
We may still book inventory well in advance but decisions about how to use that will be made Real Time.
News is going truly social. Consumers have started picking their community curated news articles/videos on social media. Traditional news media have started picking their stories from social.
We have also seen a whole lot of startups incubated in the online news space. Online News will have some major action in 2016. Combined with power of social media the spread of news & views will be faster than ever. This will pose an enormous challenge to corporates to shape the narrative.
The enormity of the challenge will require new ways of dealing with PR & Corporate Communications. Real Time PR will emerge as the most important aspect of Real Time Marketing.
2016 will be the year vernacular content (text, audio & video) will make a strong pitch to drive engagement. We will see brands curate, listen & respond to conversations in vernacular languages. About 127 million internet users are already consuming content in vernacular. The next 100-200 million consumers who will get started on the internet will only do so because content is in their language.
Consumers are realizing that it is far easier to get the organisation to act/respond by using social media than by calling or emailing. Public naming or shaming is pushing CEOs and companies to respond to social at an alarming speed. However most of the traditional BPOs have not been able to build any serious capabilities in this area. Especially dealing with consumers with nonlinear transactions. Digital agencies are not geared for integrated consumer response at scale. Organisations will look at innovative ways to bridge this gap.
Mumbai police says that now we can file FIR through a tweet. This is a landmark move. This can pave way for more government departments to become social at heart. They will have to listen and respond to customers Real Time.
Driven aggressively by PM, CMs, MPs, MLAs various government departments are taking to social. While it may take a few years for governance to truly go digital, ability to connect with key stake holders may well be the beginning of a Digital India.
Marketers and agencies will expect talent to be digitally capable. Whether it is planning, creative, media or execution every marketer will be expected to confidently deal with digital just like any other touch point. This will put enormous pressure on those who still are looking at a digital specialist for answers.
This demand will put to test 'old ways' of working. Rethink is bound to happen with the way marketing team and agency teams are structured. With so much activity on digital media, PR & social CRM, demand for capable talent will be significant.

Any American with a big urge to write a book explaining France to the French should read this book first, to get a sense of the hazards involved. Bernard-Henri Lévy is a French writer with a spatter-paint prose style and the grandiosity of a college sophomore; he rambled around this country at the behest of The Atlantic Monthly and now has worked up his notes into a sort of book. It is the classic Freaks, Fatties, Fanatics & Faux Culture Excursion beloved of European journalists for the past 50 years, with stops at Las Vegas to visit a lap-dancing club and a brothel; Beverly Hills; Dealey Plaza in Dallas; Bourbon Street in New Orleans; Graceland; a gun show in Fort Worth; a "partner-swapping club" in San Francisco with a drag queen with mammoth silicone breasts; the Iowa State Fair ("a festival of American kitsch"); Sun City ("gilded apartheid for the old");a stock car race; the Mall of America; Mount Rushmore; a couple of evangelical megachurches; the Mormons of Salt Lake; some Amish; the 2004 national political conventions; Alcatraz -- you get the idea. (For some reason he missed the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, the adult video awards, the grave site of Warren G. Harding and the World's Largest Ball of Twine.) You meet Sharon Stone and John Kerry and a woman who once weighed 488 pounds and an obese couple carrying rifles, but there's nobody here whom you recognize. In more than 300 pages, nobody tells a joke. Nobody does much work. Nobody sits and eats and enjoys their food. You've lived all your life in America, never attended a megachurch or a brothel, don't own guns, are non-Amish, and it dawns on you that this is a book about the French. There's no reason for it to exist in English, except as evidence that travel need not be broadening and one should be wary of books with Tocqueville in the title.
In New Orleans, a young woman takes off her clothes on a balcony as young men throw Mardi Gras beads up at her. We learn that much of the city is below sea level. At the stock car race, Lévy senses that the spectators "both dread and hope for an accident." We learn that Los Angeles has no center and is one of the most polluted cities in the country. "Headed for Virginia, and for Norfolk, which is, if I'm not mistaken, one of the oldest towns in a state that was one of the original 13 in the union," Lévy writes. Yes, indeed. He likes Savannah and gets delirious about Seattle, especially the Space Needle, which represents for him "everything that America has always made me dream of: poetry and modernity, precariousness and technical challenge, lightness of form meshed with a Babel syndrome, city lights, the haunting quality of darkness, tall trees of steel." O.K., fine. The Eiffel Tower is quite the deal, too.
But every 10 pages or so, Lévy walks into a wall. About Old Glory, for example. Someone has told him about the rules for proper handling of the flag, and from these (the flag must not be allowed to touch the ground, must be disposed of by burning) he has invented an American flag fetish, a national obsession, a cult of flag worship. Somebody forgot to tell him that to those of us not currently enrolled in the Boy Scouts, these rules aren't a big part of everyday life. He blows a radiator writing about baseball -- "this sport that contributes to establishing people's identities and that has truly become part of their civic and patriotic religion, which is baseball" -- and when, visiting Cooperstown ("this new Nazareth"), he finds out that Commissioner Bud Selig once laid a wreath at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington, where Abner Doubleday is also buried, Lévy goes out of his mind. An event important only to Selig and his immediate family becomes, to Lévy, an official proclamation "before the eyes of America and the world" of Abner as "the pope of the national religion . . . that day not just the town but the entire United States joined in a celebration that had the twofold merit of associating the national pastime with the traditional rural values that Fenimore Cooper's town embodies and also with the patriotic grandeur that the name Doubleday bears." Uh, actually not. Negatory on "pope" and "national" and "entire" and "most" and "embodies" and "Doubleday."
He worships Woody Allen and Charlie Rose in terms that would make Donald Trump cringe with embarrassment. He admires Warren Beatty, though he sees Beatty at a public event "among these rich and beautiful who, as always in America . . . form a masquerade of the living dead, each one more facelifted and mummified than the next, fierce, a little mutant-looking, inhuman, ultimately disappointing." Lévy is quite comfortable with phrases like "as always in America." Bombast comes naturally to him. Rain falls on the crowd gathered for the dedication of the Clinton library in Little Rock, and to Lévy, it signifies the demise of the Democratic Party. As always with French writers, Lévy is short on the facts, long on conclusions. He has a brief encounter with a young man outside of Montgomery, Ala. ("I listen to him tell me, as if he were justifying himself, about his attachment to this region"), and suddenly sees that the young man has "all the reflexes of Southern culture" and the "studied nonchalance . . . so characteristic of the region." With his X-ray vision, Lévy is able to reach tall conclusions with a single bound.
And good Lord, the childlike love of paradox -- America is magnificent but mad, greedy and modest, drunk with materialism and religiosity, puritan and outrageous, facing toward the future and yet obsessed with its memories. Americans' party loyalty is "very strong and very pliable, extremely tenacious and in the end somewhat empty." Existential and yet devoid of all content and direction. The partner-swapping club is both "libertine" and "conventional," "depraved" and "proper." And so the reader is fascinated and exhausted by Lévy's tedious and original thinking: "A strong bond holds America together, but a minimal one. An attachment of great force, but not fiercely resolute. A place of high -- extremely high -- symbolic tension, but a neutral one, a nearly empty one." And what's with the flurries of rhetorical questions? Is this how the French talk or is it something they save for books about America? "What is a Republican? What distinguishes a Republican in the America of today from a Democrat?" Lévy writes, like a student padding out a term paper. "What does this experience tell us?" he writes about the Mall of America. "What do we learn about American civilization from this mausoleum of merchandise, this funeral accumulation of false goods and nondesires in this end-of-the-world setting? What is the effect on the Americans of today of this confined space, this aquarium, where only a semblance of life seems to subsist?" And what is one to make of the series of questions -- 20 in a row -- about Hillary Clinton, in which Lévy implies she is seeking the White House to erase the shame of the Lewinsky affair? Was Lévy aware of the game 20 Questions, commonly played on long car trips in America? Are we to read this passage as a metaphor of American restlessness? Does he understand how irritating this is? Does he? Do you? May I stop now?
America is changing, he concludes, but America will endure. "I still don't think there's reason to despair of this country. No matter how many derangements, dysfunctions, driftings there may be . . . no matter how fragmented the political and social space may be; despite this nihilist hypertrophy of petty antiquarian memory; despite this hyperobesity -- increasingly less metaphorical -- of the great social bodies that form the invisible edifice of the country; despite the utter misery of the ghettos . . . I can't manage to convince myself of the collapse, heralded in Europe, of the American model."
Thanks, pal. I don't imagine France collapsing anytime soon either. Thanks for coming. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. For your next book, tell us about those riots in France, the cars burning in the suburbs of Paris. What was that all about? Were fat people involved?
'American Vertigo: Traveling America in the Footsteps of Tocqueville,' by Bernard-Henri Lévy Garrison Keillor is the host and writer of "A Prairie Home Companion" and the author of 16 books. He is the editor, most recently, of an anthology titled "Good Poems for Hard Times."
Correction: January 29, 2006, Sunday A note on Page 1 of the Book Review today, with the review of "American Vertigo" by Bernard-Henri Lévy, misstates the translator's name. She is Charlotte Mandell, not Mendel.

ARTICLE 13: My music background varies from my first talent shows in 5th grade all the way to our first rap performance in 8th grade at our annual dance. At the age of 14 was part of a rap group called (B.A.D) Born Again Disciples at our local church. In the year 2011 we had a chance to make our own beats from a demo version of Fruity Loops. With no way to record our vocals, we made due with a digital recorder that was held up to the computer speaker as I spit my verse yelling over the beat. It was the first time I had heard my voice on the track. It verified that I had the ability to pursue my dreams of making music to better my community, expose the good and bad things I had witnessed growing up in poverty. In 2013 me and my brother Freddy G finally invested in a home studio that was easy to learn and started making some legitimate music out of our living room involving every family member to either sing on our hooks, or give input of the beats we were making if we see them shake their butts we would keep the beat.
FREDDY G: Self-taught, I started making music on Fruity Loops. I learned how to structure a beat just by listening to songs on the radio. I also learned how to use native instrument Machine to make beats, and Presounus Studio one for recording vocals.
READY REN: I've always been into heavy metal; my style is very diverse I love funk, hip hop, classical. I've been playing guitar and bass since I was 15 yrs old, and writing poems and bars since I can remember.
ARTICLE 13: My songs are about real life scenarios that have played out during this life of struggle. I write about the mistakes that I have done in life, such as gang bang, selling dope and running with the wrong crowd and how to survive in these streets. I also talk about family issues and giving the youth a little schooling.
FREDDY G: They are about the struggle, joys, and pains in life.
READY REN: Our songs really come from the struggles we've been through. The environment one grows up in definitely influences what you write about, how the composition and structure of a verse and melody comes together. My songs convey ifferent emotions and state of minds at the particular moment have a great impact on the outcome of the songs.
IAA INDUSTRY NEWS: What is your favorite song to perform and why?
ARTICLE 13: My favorite song to perform is "Life is Hard'. It has a good message and talks about fatherhood. It talks about not being able to provide them with the luxuries in life, but how none of the material things matter as long as we are all together.
FREDDY G: My favorite song to perform is West Coast Party because it is a feel good song. It is upbeat and about having good time.
READY REN: I love performing "Tags 4ure Toes "I personally did not have influence in the creation of the song but it is one of my favorites. Before I became the 3rd founding member of the group I was a big fan of these 2 brothers that made music. They talked about real life situations, not just spending money at the club, copping cars, and pimping hoes it really had a lot to do with true life. I could relate to their music and when I was invited to jump on a verse I was ecstatic at the opportunity. We then formed Madstruggle and together we've been pursuing our dreams.
IAA INDUSTRY NEWS: What has surprised you the most in the pursuit of a career in music?
ARTICLE 13: What has really surprises me is the open doors that have been left for us to walk right in we believe that we are guided by God himself. Everything is just falling into place for us as far as performances and interviews.
FREDDY G: What surprises me the most is the great response and love we have received from everyone that listen to our music or watches our performances.
READY REN: How many people are willing to invest time and effort into a product that they believe in? We've been blessed to have many people with skills and resources become fans of our music and want to help us make a product better. Our music is from the heart. I believe people can relate to that and dedicate their energy into it as far as DJS (radio and club) graphic artist, clothing line owners, club promoters, all walks of life have hopped on that Madstruggle train.
IAA INDUSTRY NEWS: Who are your musical influences?
ARTICLE 13: I have many musical influences from 2pac I get the thug mentality as well as the relatable bars.Vinnie Paz I get my politics and Immortal Technique I get my conspiracy theories. Spanish singers Ramon Ayala and Los Tucanes de Tijuana give me that Mexican flavor.
FREDDY G: My music influences our Tupac of course his lyrics and song content our real and relatable you can also feel his emotions thru his words in his music. Ice cube is another, Snoop Dogg, DJ Quick, Nate Dog, Warren G, and pretty much all wet coast rappers. I also like Spanish music like Vicente Fernandez and Ramon Ayala. I like pretty much a little bit of everything.
READY REN: I love Korn, Tool, Emperor, Johan Sebastian, Juan Gabriel, Drake, Eminem, DjQuik, Wizardz (Funk), Chocolate milk, Ameega, All kinds of music from every genre influence me.
ARTICLE 13: I always tell people we are not like other rappers we have our own sound. We like to do things that aren't normal, but we always have a message in every song.
FREDDY G: I would describe our music to people as real; it comes from the heart and soul we make songs about what we have seen in our lives.
READY REN: Our music is gritty, grime, street, melodic, intricate, different, we create a product that can be marketed to a diverse group of people, since our influences and backgrounds all differ we are able to create something that is like nothing I have personally heard before and guaranteed to be the same for anybody listening.
ARTICLE 13: We cater to both Spanish and English-speaking people and relay our messages to empower them. We don't copy others style and stick to our own script, using our own beats we let the melody guide us.
FREDDY G: I think what makes us stand out from other artist is that we are genuine to ourselves we don't try to portray something we are not.
READY REN: I don't know what makes me stand out but I am myself and I am a different type of beast. I don't conform to the norms thus making my influence in Madstruggle unique. Every member of the group comes together to form something unique that separates us from everyone out there. So to answer your question, things that are different tend to stand out.
IAA INDUSTRY NEWS: What would you like to see changed in today's music industry?
ARTICLE 13: I would change the discrimination that is known to come down on independent artist. I also want to change the process of scouting and have them come to the local venues and see the talent that's out there on the streets hustling to get their music heard not just online or waiting for the music to come to them.
FREDDY G: I would like for the music industry to go back to making real music with meaning and a message. Not just a catching beat, catching hook and a gimmick to sell music.
READY REN: Honestly the message of illicit lifestyles, music shouldn't be about making it rain and syrup in my cup. It really should have a message behind it. The beats in today's music are hot, but what are artist really saying besides nonsense? I personally think music should adapt an old school mentality cause back then there actually was a message. Whether it was positive or not at least it was real talk.
IAA INDUSTRY NEWS: What are some upcoming projects that you are currently working on?
ARTICLE 13: We are currently working on our next album "Out The Rubble" we are going to be releasing that around Feb 2016. Music videos for our latest project "Orange Juice" will be shot also in Dec 2015.
FREDDY G: We are working on our album out of the rumble and new music videos
READY REN: Right now we just released the Orange juice collaboration album with the third music group. Madstruggle is currently wrapping up the finishing touches on our "Out The Rubble" album. Aside from local gigs, almost on a weekly basis nowadays it seems we are working with local artist assembling a management and marketing team to promote Madstruggle projects.
ARTICLE 13: In 10 years I see myself opening our own record label called Madstruggle records to give those who want to make music a chance to showcase their talent based on their work.
FREDDY G: My career goals are to soak my mind and say what I feel while giving a message to the people not just giving them a good beat to dance to. I want to give the something with substance so they can think and open their mind. In ten years I see myself with a music studio, teaching the youth about music and producing.
READY REN: I see myself at the top of the game you have to dream big and shoot for the stars maybe you might land on a cloud. So you must have big goals and work hard to achieve them. I have champagne wishes and caviar dreams and I'm not afraid to chase them and catch them by any means necessary.

Private house Suha by Arhitektura d.o.o.
Amy Frearson | 10 April 2012 10 comments
Slovenian studio Arhitektura d.o.o. have completed a gabled house with a crisp white silhouette just outside the medieval town of Škofja Loka.
The three-storey residence was designed with the same dimensions as the farm building that it replaces and occupies the same position on the inclined site.
The front entrance to the building leads onto the middle floor, while the entrance to a garage is located further down the slope on the level below.
Sliding panels of glazing infill a recessed wall on the middle floor and open the living and dining room out to a terrace that the architects refer to as the farm courtyard.
Windows elsewhere around the house take the form of long horizontal strips.
See more architecture and interiors from Slovenia here, including a scaly apartment block.
Photography is by Marko Zoranovič.
Here's some more information from the architects:
The presented single-family house is built in the village of Suha, in the suburbs of a famous medieval town, Škofja Loka in Slovenia. The building is built as a replacement structure on the site of a former farm building which represented the eastern side of a unified space of a farm courtyard. Due to the cultural heritage regulations the new building has a gabled roof and follows the gauges of maximum allowed building dimensions of the demolished structure. The investor of the new building is the farm owner's son, who is academically educated and therefore has very urban housing needs in terms of the program of the house, which is located in a traditional rural area.
The immediate location of the house is situated on the edge of the Sora River slope, turning towards the direction of the river in the south and west, from where it has beautiful panoramic view of the medieval castle built high over Škofja Loka town. The building has a basement, a ground floor and first floor. It is positioned perpendicular to the river slope. In this way the basement opens towards the lower river terrace, while the ground floor is open - with a wide glass surface - towards the farm courtyard, which lies on the upper river terrace. The first floor with the sleeping rooms is facing east. Building's public access is from the south side via accessible route, offering both access on foot and access with a car to the garages located in the basement. Along the longer, east side an external staircase leads to the main entrance.
The west side of the building is immersed into the existing grassy slope, where the Japanese-style garden stairs lead to the grassy surface in front of the living room on the ground floor of the object. In this way the building is well integrated into the site.
Such position of the building maintains the urbanistic image and roundedness of the farm courtyard which is surrounded, like a large atrium, by the homestead owner's buildings and the new houses of his children. The cross-section of the building is in the shape of the letter 'Z' with the ground floor completely open towards the courtyard on the west side of the building, while the first floor faces towards the east side of the building. The program division of the building into floors is simple and logical. The basement floor features a large garage, a storage room, fitness, sauna, a boiler room and a utility room. From here the stairs lead to the ground floor and further to the first floor. The ground floor is a long, rectangular shape. On its narrower, north side, the staircase and main entrance are located, along with the doorway and a toilet. The remaining large unified space is dedicated to the program of kitchen, dinning room and living room. This space opens through a 12-meter-wide unsupported window to the 'atrium' of the house from where picturesque views open to the river and the old town. This is actually a 'balcony' room with a view.
From the ground floor the staircase leads to the first floor and into a longitudinal corridor along the west side, featuring a long, panoramic window which allows views of the town panorama. The east side of the corridor is dotted with the sleeping and 'working' rooms of children and parents with corresponding bathrooms. The entire eastern side of the corridor is lined with wardrobes. The parents' bedroom has a separate bathroom and a south-facing panoramic window which allows picturesque views of the surroundings from the level of the bed.
The building construction is made of reinforced concrete, the partition walls are brick and the roofing is made of wood. Above the ground floor, a more complex bridging is realized for the purpose of the large ground-floor panoramic window. The external load-bearing walls are insulated with 25cm thick insulation, on which white plaster is placed. The zinc roof is light grey in colour. A glass projecting roof is installed over the building's main entrance. The green 'terrace' in front of the living room is equipped with a wide walking surface made of teak wood.
The heating is a combination of under-floor heating, recuperator, heat pump and two geothermal bore holes. The low energy house has minimal electric energy consumption. Because of its low energy consumption, the house has apertures only where they are needed, or where additional views of the surroundings are thus enabled.

"Our 1907 Renault A1 Vanderbilt Road going Grand Prix Racer is now finished and now is the time for sorting and performing jobs that are on the punch list. We started the restoration in December (4 months ago) after going for a 5 mile drive in a car that had never been restored but was kept in a running condition for more than 105 years.
The first drive was rather crude and nasty. The torque from the massive 521 cubic inch engine had loosened up 104 of the 7/16 rivets used to hold the frame members together, one broken motor mount, one broken transmission mount, and both rear trunion perches destroyed. The engine had 3 valves that had burnt faces and the rollers on the cams had 80 – 90 thousands play. The wood wheels, were loose and suspension loosy/goosy. The 15 gallon radiator was leaking and the Bronze Gas tank was full of crap.
As I started out in first gear and let out the clutch, The car twisted to the right and almost threw me out the doorway. The next sensation was throwing me out the back when I gave it a little gas. Next second and third gear, the car when in these gears burns rubber at will if you do not handle the throttle with a very light touch. This was a NASTY CAR!! Next 4th gear; Once I got in 4th I could finally relax in the 50 to 60 mph range. This car needed to be tamed to be used on the road.
I then did a full, complete ,absolute restoration. Every piece of every part taken apart and repaired as it was when new. Nothing of the Brewster coach built body was replaced, but all was restored. The stock wheels were rebuilt, but no wood was replaced and all metal parts were reused. The 60 year old tires were replaced with new ones from Coker Tire. The Engine now has new Valves and roller shafts and a 1913 Harry A Miller 24 Jet carb from a 1915 Peugeot Indy car. All other parts of the engine are original.
The dash has a 2.5 gallon oil distribution pump, A 100 mph (1905) Jones, 1905 clock, 1906 Altimeter, 1907 Tachometer that has a full scale of 1600 rpm on its top scale, and directly under that scale is a 0 -100 mph., and Bosch ignition key. All of these are original and rebuilt as needed and work perfectly.
The Car was one of the ( 10 or 11) 1907 Renault A1's ordered by W.K Vanderbilt after he witnessed the 1906 first edition of the Le Mans Grand Prix in France. Renault won that first race with its AK race car. The A1's were a slightly more tame version of the AK . He wanted the cars to be used as "Super Cars" by his rich friends on his new road course called the Vanderbilt Cup . All 10 or 11 cars were ordered through his friend, William Cutler Morse, an import agent for Renault.. The Car I have was the one that was built for Mr.. Morse. He sent the car to Brewster for a small amount of body additions and the car was acquired from his widow in the 1920's.
This just may be the coolest car to compete in the Great Race in a long, long time.
I hope to see this car in action, maybe not until the Pikes Peak Run. It looks as good as the factory could make.
You have a winner here,i'd like to be on your pit crew. Best of luck in the running.
My wife (Sandra) and I really enjoyed the time you shared this past weekend with our Antique Studebaker Club. Your car was the HIT of the show, even though it is not a Studebaker. Good luck in the Great Race. We will be pulling for you.
daughter. They have retired and moved to Parker, Co.
Your 1907 Renault looks like a winner. Good Luck to you.
Allen had l but known when we loaded the car in the trailer in vt.that such a magnificent auto would evolve from when l first it.
I'm currently restoring an engine for one of these and have a few questions regarding the oiling system. I dont have the whole car, so I am trying to piece this all together. How much oil does the engine need? I just received the tank assembly, and am unsure as to how the oil gets back to the tank?

Realme 9i Review: A Step in the Right Direction?
It's 2022 and nearly every smartphone launched outside the budget segment has support for 5G, despite there still being no sign of 5G networks in India yet. Realme has been pushing plenty of 5G phones for over a year now, but oddly, it's latest offering, the Realme 9i, is a 4G-only model. It's an entry-level offering in the brand new Realme 9 series, and will soon be accompanied by the upcoming Realme 9 Pro and Realme 9 Pro+. While a 4G-only phone could still be relevant if it delivers in other areas, the Realme 9i seems to have a few omissions compared to its predecessor, the Realme 8i.
So should you consider the Realme 9i as your next purchase, or does the competition offer better value? I put the Realme 9i to the test to find out.
Realme 9i price in India
The Realme 9i is available with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage priced at Rs. 13,999, or with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage priced at Rs. 15,999 in India. This smartphone is available in two colours, Prism Black and Prism Blue. I had the higher-end configuration in Prism Blue for this review.
Realme 9i design
Realme's latest launch in India, the Realme 9i has a new 'Stereo Prism' design. It sports a 6.6-inch display with thin bezels on the top and sides, while the chin is thicker. You get a cutout in the top left corner of the screen for the selfie camera. The phone has a plastic frame with the power button on the right and the volume buttons on the left. A capacitive fingerprint scanner is integrated into the power button which makes it convenient to unlock the smartphone. The sides and corners are rounded, so the frame does not dig into your palms when you hold this phone.
The Realme 9i packs in a 5,000mAh battery
The Realme 9i has a USB Type-C port, 3.5mm headphone jack, speaker, and primary microphone at the bottom. The top only has the secondary microphone. The earpiece doubles up as the second speaker for stereo sound. The SIM tray is on the left and supports two Nano-SIM cards as well as a microSD card. The Realme 9i has a 5,000mAh battery and weighs 190g which is manageable. You get a 33W charger in the box.
On the back, the Realme 9i packs a triple camera setup. The camera module looks similar to the one on the Realme GT Neo 2 (Review). The back panel has a pattern which is visible only when light hits it at certain angles.
Realme 9i specifications and software
The Realme 9i has a 6.6-inch full-HD+ display with a 90Hz peak refresh rate, and this can change dynamically based on the content you are viewing. This panel is however a step down considering the Realme 8i (Review)'s screen has a 120Hz refresh rate. The Realme 9i is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 SoC. Realme has implemented its DRE (Dynamic RAM Expansion) feature which allocates up to 5GB of storage to be used as RAM, but only available on the higher storage variant.
The Realme 9i is a 4G smartphone offering dual VoLTE. Since 5G networks haven't rolled out in India yet, the lack of support shouldn't really deter you from considering this phone. This phone also has support for Bluetooth 5, dual-band Wi-Fi, and four GPS standards.
The Realme 9i has a 90Hz refresh rate display with a hole punch
The Relame 9i runs Realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11. My unit of the 9i was running the January 2022 Android security patch. The UI was easy to use and I did not have any issues finding my way around. I found the phone to have a large number of preinstalled apps, some of which did push spammy notifications after being launched. Thankfully, you can uninstall most of them. You can customise the colour mode of the display and even set it to 60Hz. There are different features that can be triggered using gestures, if enabled. Realme has also added a Game Mode that allows you to mute incoming calls and notifications for interruption-free gaming.
Realme 9i performance and battery life
The Realme 9i offered good performance and did not show any signs of slowing down with my use during the review period. I found the display's brightness to be adequate most of the time, but I had to shield it from direct sunlight in order to see content clearly when outdoors. The 90Hz refresh rate made scrolling appear very smooth. The speakers aren't balanced, and the bottom-firing one sounded louder. With 8GB of RAM in my review unit, multitasking was a breeze. Realme had enabled the DRE feature by default, which bumped the usable RAM capacity up to 11GB. While using the phone, I never needed more than a single attempt to unlock it using the fingerprint scanner, and face recognition was also reliable.
In the AnTuTu, the Realme 9i managed to score 280,907 points. It scored 383 points and 1554 points respectively in Geekbench 5's single-core and multi-core tests. In PCMark's Work 3.0 test, it managed 8101 points. Graphics benchmark GFXBench's T-Rex and Car Chase scenes ran at 36fps and 7.2fps respectively. These scores were slightly lower than those of the Realme 8i, which is powered by the MediaTek Helio G96 SoC.
The Realme 9i has a triple camera setup.
To test the Realme 9i's gaming performance, I played Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), which defaulted to the 'Smooth' graphics and 'Medium' frame rate. It was playable at these settings without any lag. After playing the game for about 21 minutes, the phone was slightly warm to the touch. I also noticed a four percent drop in the battery level.
The Realme 9i is very power-efficient, and lasted me about two days on a full charge. Idle battery drain was also very low. In our HD video loop test, it managed to run for 22 hours and 42 minutes. Wguke the Realme 8i had 18W fast charging support, the Realme 9i supports 33W fast charging. The supplied 33W charger was able to get the phone to 51 percent in 30 minutes and 91 percent in an hour. If you are a light user, you won't need to charge the Realme 9i very often.
Realme 9i cameras
The Realme 9i sports a triple camera setup consisting of a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 2-megapixel macro camera, and a 2-megapixel black-and-white camera. For selfies, it has a 16-megapixel front camera. Realme's camera app is easy to use. You get quick toggles for HDR and AI scene enhancement. The phone was quick to lock focus and set the exposure right.
Photos taken with the primary camera were pixel-binned to 12.5-megapixels by default. Daylight photos had average dynamic range and appeared good as is, but magnifying revealed poorer detail especially in the shadows. When shooting photos in bright environments, the phone enabled HDR automatically and managed exposure well. An ultra-wide-angle camera would have improved the setup, but sadly, that feature is missing.

Close-up photos were crisp and had good detail. Portraits had good edge detection and the phone lets you choose the level of background blur before taking a photo. Macros taken with the Realme 9i had decent detail but the output wasn't of a high resolution.

Low-light photos taken with the Realme 9i appeared hazy and objects at a distance were barely recognisable. Objects in the shadows also appeared grainy. With Night mode there was a slight improvement in details in the shadows.

Selfies taken with the Realme 9i in daylight were decent. The Portrait mode created good separation from the background. Low-light selfies were strictly average.

Video recording topped out at 1080p for the primary as well as the selfie camera. There is no stabilisation, which meant that footage was shaky. Low-light footage was slightly grainy too.
The starting price of the Realme 9i in India is Rs. 13,999 and this could make it appealing to those on a budget. However, the more expensive variant competes with other smartphones that offer better performance along with 5G connectivity, which the 9i lacks. This new model offers stereo speakers and faster 33W charging, which are upgrades over its predecessor. However, the 90Hz refresh rate is a downgrade compared to the 120Hz display on the Realme 8i (Review).
The Realme 9i's camera performance is also sub-par which makes it all the more difficult to recommend the higher priced variant to those looking for an all-rounder. Surprisingly, the Realme 8i offers better features and camera quality for the same kind of money. If you are looking for a future-proof smartphone with 5G connectivity, you could consider the Moto G51 (Review) or the Redmi Note 11T 5G (Review) instead.

Radha Madhav Dham Celebrates Jagannath Puri Style Rath Yatra
Added by Indo American News on July 17, 2014.

Radha Rani
AUSTIN: Just a few weeks ago on June 29, more than a million devotees congregated at the holy city of Jagannath Puri in Odisha, India to participate in the annual Rath Yatra (festival of chariots). The Jagannath Rath Yatra is a huge Hindu festival in which the deities of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balbhadra and Subhadra are carried in a procession to the Gundicha temple, about a mile away, where they reside for nine days.
Crowds welcoming Chariot
A similar festival is celebrated at Radha Madhav Dham in Austin, Texas, one of the largest Hindu temples in North America. Every year, the presiding deity, Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani, is taken out in a grand chariot procession that is reminiscent of the Jagannath Rath Yatra. This year too, amid great devotional fanfare, on Sunday July 6, Shree Radha Rani was brought out in a beautifully decorated chariot to visit the holy places of Braj that are represented within the 200-acre picturesque grounds of the Ashram.
The excitement began early in the morning, as hundreds gathered all over the country to attend this festival. Both young and old, dressed up in colorful festive attire, joyously waited to welcome Radha Rani. Gracefully seated on a pearl-white and gold chariot decorated with sparkling fabric, jewels and fresh flowers, Shree Radha Rani arrived amidst the exuberant sounds of drums, conches, cymbals and a shower of marigold flowers, as the sounds of "Radhey Radhey, Radhey" permeated the air.
Krishna welcoming radha rani.
Reminiscent of Radha Krishna's descension on this earth planet 5,000 years ago, when Radha Rani would often ride in Her chariot, accompanied by many Gopis, and Shree Krishna would welcome and glorify Her, a magnificent dance was performed depicting Lord Krishna's welcome of Shree Radha Rani. This was followed by Arti, after which the chariot proceeded forward, with hundreds of devotees following the procession in devotional merriment – walking, singing, and dancing along the way.
The chariot stopped at a few holy places along the route, where beautiful leelas (pastimes) of Radha Krishna were enacted, enthralling the hearts of the audience and bringing to life glimpses of Radha Krishna in Vrindavan for devotional meditation.
Boat leela
A few hours later, as the chariot started its return to the temple, one could tell from the soaring levels of excitement and the increasing sounds of drums and bells, that the Rath Yatra was reaching its climax. It was a sight worth capturing, as everyone danced in joyful exuberance, and the ashram grounds reverberated with the echoes of "Radhey Govind" and "Hari Bol." Even the sun seemed to be joining the crowds, as it danced with the clouds, disappearing and then re-appearing in the skies.
Even though the Rath Yatra concluded at noon, the festivities inside the prayer hall continued with cultural programs and leela performances. This was followed by an eloquent talk by one of the senior preachers of the temple, Siddheshvari Devi Ji, who explained the Divinity of Shree Radha Rani's s personality by quoting from the Vedas to explain that "Shree Radha Rani is the highest entity of all, because She is the one worshipped by the Lord of the Universe, Shree Krishna Himself." She went on to further explain that while "both Shree Radha and Krishna are one – one soul, one intellect – they appear in two forms only to perform leela's and distribute Divine love to all souls."
The annual Rath Yatra gave many wonderful memories for participants who came from all over the country to participate in this huge event. "An experience of a lifetime", were the words of many as they filed out of the prayer hall to enjoy the lunch mahaprasad. It was a day of devotional revelry, a day of intimate darshan, a day one had to witness to believe…

# Analysis
Here's what Ireland need to be worried about against Bosnia-Herzegovina
A high-pressing game and dead-ball proficiency are among the characteristics to be wary of.
BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA WENT into their penultimate Euro 2016 qualifier with Wales knowing a win was vital for their hopes of qualifying.
The hosts went into the game two points behind Israel, who were third.
However, their fortunes had been reversed somewhat since the appointment of Mehmed Baždarević, winning three of the four games since he took charge, following a dreadful start that saw them lose matches against Israel and Cyprus.
Bosnia played a relatively similar formation to Ireland for the match in question.
With captain Edin Dzeko only deemed fit enough for a spot on the bench, lone striker Vedad Ibišević was supported in attack by Lazio's Senad Lulić on the left and Edin Višća of İstanbul Başakşehir on the right.
Roma's Miralem Pjanić was the midfield playmaker, while he was joined by Anel Hadžić of Sturm Graz and Sejad Salihović, who plies his trade at Chinese Super League club Guizhou Renhe.
At the back, Bosnia's most capped player, Hamburger's Emir Spahić, played alongside Stuttgart's Toni Šunjić in the centre. Chelsea's Asmir Begovic was in goal, while Mensur Mujdža (Freiburg) and Ervin Zukanović (Sampdoria) were at right and left-back respectively.
Wales' lineup, meanwhile, was more or less as expected, with Gareth Bale starting despite having been short of first-team football in the weeks leading up to the game, as manager Chris Coleman opted for a 3-4-2-1 formation, with the Real Madrid star and Aaron Ramsey playing just behind lone striker Hal Robson-Kanu.
Bosnia signal their intent
Though ostensibly adopting a 4-5-1 formation, Bosnia were more of a 4-3-3 at times.
The hosts needed to win the game, whereas Wales required just a point to guarantee Euro 2016 qualification. Consequently, it was hardly a surprise that it was very much a backs-to-the-wall performance from Chris Coleman's side, as they occasionally looked to expose their opponents on the counter-attack.
Bosnia dominated possession, working extremely hard to regain the ball when they didn't have it. However, they patently lacked creativity and attacking threat.
Wales therefore looked the more likely of the two sides to score in the first half despite having considerably less of the ball (Bosnia had 65% possession in the opening half an hour and 57% over the course of the entire game), though the hosts invariably marshalled the threat of Bale and co quite well.
Lack of inspiration
It was telling that Bosnia's one decent chance in the first half came, not from their own ingenuity, but from a Wales mistake. Ben Davies slipped and conceded possession just outside the box, with Lulic firing his subsequent attempt narrowly wide.
Aside from that one moment, goalmouth action was lacking in the opening 45 minutes. The shot below epitomises a recurring scenario in the game — Bosnia playing the ball among their defenders and central midfielders, and struggling to break down a stubborn, dogged Welsh resistance.
Like Ireland, the Bosnians can also be heavily reliant on the long ball at times.
And to be fair to Baždarević's side, this tactic worked up to a point. Ibesivic held the ball up well and won his personal dual with Swansea's Ashley Williams on occasion, earning a couple of free kicks in the process (see above).
However, in the first half, this tactic only got Bosnia so far. The attackers were feeding off scraps, as too often, their build-up play looked laboured, rushed and overly anxious — a reflection perhaps of what this high-stakes encounter meant to the country.
Off-the-ball excellence
While Martin O'Neill won't be losing sleep over the Bosnians' technical ability based on this display, Ireland will have to watch out for their high-pressing game.
Throughout the 90 minutes against Wales, they were routinely superb. Check out the intensity and the hunger with which they chase the ball in the clip below, ultimately causing their opponents to concede possession.
Wales never really took the initiative and looked like they were essentially playing for a draw. However, Bosnia's high-pressing game also undoubtedly played a big role in stalling their momentum and ensuring that they never really got going over the course of this match.
Ireland have a couple of players, most notably Wes Hoolahan and Robbie Brady, who are not afraid to take risks in possession. The Boys in Green will have to be careful they play in the right areas and don't get caught out by the Bosnian's relentless pressure, as almost happened to Wales on more than one occasion.
Bale below par
With Bosnia continuing to stutter in attack, Wales looked increasingly likely to nick a goal on the break.
Twice in the first half, they opened up Bosnia, yet on both occasions, they failed to make the most of the opportunity thereafter.
The Welsh players' superior pace sporadically helped them evade the Bosnia defence (especially the 35-year-old Spahic), which is consequently another reason why O'Neill will hope to have his fastest attacker, Shane Long, fit in time for the second game.
Gareth Bale was making his presence felt down the left, however as much as the Real Madrid winger tried, he looked short of match sharpness, and consequently, lacked the kind of killer instinct that he so often shows — mishitting crosses and failing to beat defenders in one-on-one situations as a result.
Yet credit must also go to Bosnia for stopping Bale. Despite desperately needing a win, the home side had the composure to retain their defensive discipline throughout and defend in numbers when necessary (see below).
Bosnia, meanwhile, continued to show a distinct lack of quality down the other end, as crosses were overhit and passes misplaced on a regular basis, making the game a fairly dour spectacle for the neutrals.
Cynicism
Martin O'Neill complained about the Polish team's on-field behaviour following the Irish team's loss in Warsaw last month, but surely the former Celtic boss will have to simply acknowledge that this type of behaviour is prevalent in international football nowadays and set about contemplating a way to counteract it.
Like the Poles (and indeed, the Irish side at times), there was more than an element of cynicism to Bosnia's play.
When a Welsh player threatened to break on the counter-attack, they did not hesitate to commit a tactical foul.
Moreover, particularly once they went ahead, Bosnia players often went down easily under challenges and wasted as much time as possible by creating unnecessary stoppages. O'Neill may not like it, but it's an unavoidable reality of football at this level.
Increased desperation
As the game developed, Bosnia grew increasingly desperate to score. They sacrificed a midfielder, and brought on a striker, Cesena's Milan Durić, as they went in search of an all-important breakthrough.
There were a few signs early in the second half that Bosnia were beginning to turn a corner. Pjanic got in behind the Welsh defence for a rare half-chance, while Lulic beat two Welsh opponents in one eye-catching piece of play.
However, for the most part, quality in the final delivery was conspicuously absent, and Wales continued to threaten on the counter, with Bale once again exposing the hosts' lack of pace at the back.
The hosts were at least still well organised though, defending with intelligence to frustrate Coleman's men.
A breakthrough at last
For the first 69 minutes, Bosnia had barely looked like scoring, so it was somewhat of a surprise when the goal did suddenly come.

Yet Wales probably got what they deserved — slack passing and giving away cheap possession so regularly ultimately tends to harm teams at international level, and so it proved to be the case in this instance.
Check out this incident just shortly before Bosnia's goal — it is the type of pass befitting of a player in the lower leagues (where, uncoincidentally, many of the Welsh squad's players currently reside).
Moments later, Bosnia, for the first time in the entire game, delivered a dangerous ball into the box, and Duric capitalised with a superb, unstoppable header.

Wales were consequently punished for their relentless negativity as the Bosnians' finally showed a ruthless streak in the final third. It was a rare moment of magic on a night where quality was in short supply.
Closing the game out
What was perhaps even more impressive though was that Bosnia continued to produce an immense work-rate off the ball, illustrating impressive fitness as they pressed with significant enthusiasm even as the game approached its dying minutes.
The hosts were rewarded once more for their perseverance as the game entered into stoppage time.
Firstly, Pjanic — who Ireland need to be wary of owing to his penchant for scoring spectacular goals — went close with an audacious deflected effort.
And from the ensuing corner, they highlighted their dead ball prowess again, as Ibsisevic tapped home a well-worked set play to double his side's advantage and end Welsh hopes on the night.
All In One Sports / YouTube
Cyprus' win in Israel meant Wales ultimately were left celebrating Euro 2016 qualification at the final whistle regardless, while the Bosnians took a significant step towards securing the play-off spot that they ultimately confirmed with a 3-2 defeat of the Cypriots in their final match.
What the Wales match essentially highlights is that Bosnia are not a drastically dissimilar team to Ireland.
While they boast one or two talented, creative players such as Pjanic, for the most part, they are a hard-working unit, intent on stopping other teams from playing rather than unlocking them by more creative means.
It won't be easy for the Boys in Green to break down Baždarević's side, though there may be opportunities to expose their lack of pace at the back.
Ireland will also need to be wary of Bosnia's high-pressing game and dead-ball proficiency, which caused Wales problems on the night, while also noting that arguably their best player, Edin Dzeko (who was not fit enough to start the match), is likely to add to their threat.
All in all, it looks like being a pretty even and similarly tense affair, though if Ireland can replicate the Germany group stage performances, they are undoubtedly more than capable of progressing at the Bosnians' expense.

Depending on what kind of engine you have, servicing your turbo can get expensive fast. That's why, if you don't notice your engine acting up, you might be tempted to ignore any signs of abnormal turbo condition and call it good. However, if you see any of the following signs, you need to consider sending out your turbo to be serviced, regardless of how your engine is acting.
As you can see in the left image above, the turbine is off center, and shifted to the bottom right. This can be a serious problem. The normal condition for the turbine, shown on the right, is to be aligned centrally; it should not be shifted in any direction.
The above images are from the compressor side view. You can see in the left image that there are contact marks on the blades and surrounding area. These can indicate wear on the turbocharger, though they won't cause abnormal function that you would notice while driving the vehicle.
You can also see in the left image above that the blades are deformed. You can see that compared to the normal condition of the turbo, on the right, the blades' shape have altered considerably. All engine parts are designed with intention and precision, so deformation of the blades can drastically affect performance, and potentially lead to unknown damage.
Does your turbocharger need a bit more help than just being serviced? If it's causing engine problems, you need to replace it. If you need to replace a faulty turbo or have questions about getting it serviced or replaced, give HHP a call at 844-215-3406 or request a quote online!
