Garmin nüMaps lets you pick the best solution so that you have the newest maps and most up to date maps available so you can navigate with confidence.
If you are not looking for updated maps, but instead are travelling to a new country or region you will instead need to use the Garmin Map Purchase Assistant to choose the best option for you, and not the Garmin nüMaps options.
*Terms and limitations: nüMaps™ Lifetime. If you purchase a nüMaps Lifetime subscription (sold separately), you will receive up to four (4) map Data updates per year, when and as such updates are made available on Garmin's website, for one (1) compatible Garmin product until your product's useful life expires or Garmin no longer receives map Data from its map provider, whichever is shorter. The updates you receive under the subscription will be updates to the same map Data originally included with your Garmin product when originally purchased, or updates to map Data that you purchased separately (if applicable). If your Garmin product does not include, or you do not purchase separately, the map Data you want to update using your nüMaps Lifetime subscription, then you must purchase the map Data separately before you can load the updated map Data onto your Garmin product. In some instances, your Garmin product might not have sufficient memory remaining for you to load an update to the same map Data originally included with your Garmin product (or purchased separately, as the case may be), in which case you will need to select reduced map Data coverage for your updates. Garmin may terminate your nüMaps Lifetime subscription at any time if you violate any of the terms of this Agreement. Your nüMaps Lifetime subscription may not be transferred to another person or another Garmin product.

Yesterday I posted the first half of an interview with two of my friends who are currently using the rather intense Bible reading system developed by Professor Grant Horner of The Master's College. By posting this interview I am not suggesting that every Christian must read at least 10 chapters of the Bible every day. The issue is not exactly how much you read, but how much you live out. As I heard Chip Ingram recently say, "God is more pleased with you reading one verse and acting on that verse than reading the whole Bible that day." Yet if you are going to know how to live out the Bible, you need to have a full knowledge of it. This system is one of many that can help you with that goal.
Here is the the second half of the interview:
PB: When do you do your prayer time? Before or after your Bible reading time? How has the Bible reading plan impacted your prayer life?
Rick: I pray before I read my bible as prep for reading my bible. Other than that I throw up prayers throughout the day, but i like to have quiet time before bed to be alone and speak to Jesus, but lately I have been neglecting Him for sleep. I am a loser.
Tom: I am ashamed to admit that I don't have a prayer routine. It is something I have been convicted of for a while now but I have not corrected the situation yet. I can say that as I have continued to spend more time in God's word that it has intensified my conviction.
PB: What are your long-term thoughts of using the plan? Are you going to try it for a year or do you think this might become a lifelong habit?
Tom: My current goal is to complete the longest list. List 8 (249 days) and List 9 (250 days) are the longest. Once I have completed those, I will have read through the entire Bible at least once and many parts of it several times. Then I will re-evaluate. My goal is to create a lifelong habbit of daily Bible reading. The system I use is less important than the fact that I will be reading God's Word daily. At this time, I don't know of any system that I like better or that works better for me. So, as of now, I would anticipate continuing the system after I have completed my initial goal.
Rick: I hope for it to be a lifelong thing. Perhaps for a season I may switch but I think this may be a lifetime thing.
As a side note, I am considering using this system (in full or in some modified form) to develop the habit of daily Bible reading in my oldest daughter. She will be 13 in a couple months and I want her to start now developing this habit. I am not sure yet if or how I will modify the system for her but I think she is old enough to be doing this in some form.
PB: This plan is taking you through Proverbs and Acts monthly. How has that been?
TS: It has been good. It had been quite a while since I had read through Proverbs and I think it is good to read them regularly. As far as Acts goes, I wondered why it was chosen to be read through each month. I probably would have chosen Romans. I know that Acts works better since it has 28 chapters and Romans has only 16. I have considered making a change to the lists by moving Romans and Hebrews to list 10 and moving Acts to list 3. This would only make a 1 day difference in each list. I have not done this yet and I probably won't until I have finished the longest lists. At that point I may make the adjustments.
Rick: I am excited to see when the memorisation begins to take place. I like it.
PB: Of the 10 divisions of Scripture, which has been your favorite?
Tom: At this point, I would have to say list 6 which is the Psalms. I am not quite sure why this is but I am really enjoying reading the Psalms on a daily basis. I have been really drawn to the picture of God as described to there.
I ran across a quote by Billy Graham sometime in the last year where he said that he read from the Psalms each day to learn to relate to God and from the Proverbs each day to learn how to relate to man. It seemed profound to me. Maybe that has played some role, I am not sure.
Rick: All…hehehe…I know what you are getting at. Umm, I don't have favorite. But I do have least favorites. I still find my 'Spirit Groaning' when I come to Isaiah (well not anymore now that I am in Jeremiah) and I can foresee thanking God for my 'Trials' when I have to read through Numbers and Leviticus, but those things are good for us to build up our discipline and to find in those harder read books what God is really trying to tell us.
PB: Professor Horner recommends you stick with the same Bible all the time through the years so that the words become "imprinted" upon your mind. What do you think about this recommendation?
Tom: I can see the logic from this. I am not sure that I will do this because I sometimes like to read from other translations (usually the NASB) to get some variety. Up to this time, though, I have always read from my ESV.
Rick: I think it is a good idea. The problem is I wish the bible I have been using was had more character and chance for wear-and-tear. This thing feels like is made out of cardboard, someday in the future I may have to rebind it.
PB: Professor Horner also recommends that you print out his "Secrets to Success with this System" and put it in your Bible? Have you done that? Are you abiding by his recommendations or have you customized the plan? Explain.
Tom: I have not printed out and put the Secrets to Success in my Bible. I did read them before I started, probably a couple of times. I am following them though. I have not referred back to them in a while now but I am still following them. At this point, I have not done any customization to the plan. I am still following it just as he has laid it out. I may make some adjustments later on as I have described in some of my other answers.
Rick: I don't think I have done that or read his secrets to success. You will have to get back with me on that one.
PB: What has been the biggest benefit of doing this plan?
Tom: The biggest benefit to this plan is that it gets you into the Word. It allows you to get the full picture of God's word. By this I mean that each day you are reading from the Gospels, the Law, the Psalms, the Proverbs, the Epistles, & the Prophets. Over a short period of time, you will aquire a good understanding of how the different parts fit together. Even in the short time I have been on the plan, it is amazing how I can read something from the Law (for example) and then it will be quoted and explained in the Epistles (for example). No plan that I have ever tried gives you that.
Rick: It has built in me want to read the word.
PB: Is there anything else you would like share?
Tom: This plan may not "work" for everyone. That is not something to get upset about. The important thing is to be reading the Bible on a regular basis. If someone is looking for a good systematic approach to reading the Bible, I would encourage them to try Dr. Horner's Bible reading system. They lose nothing by giving it a try.
I would also like to suggest that someone has a translation that they are comfortable with and can understand easily. Reading this much is easier if you understand and enjoy what you are reading. I would also like to suggest to anyone interested in using this system that they use a Bible that has a single column paragraph format. The paragraph format really makes it easier to follow the thought process of the writer. It is also the format that most of us are familiar and comfortable with.
Rick: The exact plan itself may not be for everyone but the principles behind it I think are very useful. People who aren't ready for 10 chapters a day may start with 3 (gospel, epistles, old testament) or make a custom one like 6 chapters a day (2 in the gospels, 1 acts, 1 proverbs, 1 new test, 1 old test).
PB: Great suggestions. I agree that it is important a person discovers what works best for them based upon their schedule and what "works" for them. The important thing, and what I hope everyone can learn from these past two days, is that intake the Word of God is vital to our spiritual lives and the best way to consistently take it it is through a commitment to a plan, whether it is Dr. Horner's, someone else's, or one that come up with themselves.

We all know Photoshop and Illustrator are programs that should be in every designer's toolbox. Hopefully this list will introduce you to some web applications you haven't came across or that you want to learn more about.
I am a web designer with more than 15 years of experience, and during that time I have worked with some pretty amazing web designers and web design agencies in and around the Boston area. I've learned many different approaches to web design from very senior designers, programmers and even junior designers, and I've developed a list of dozens and dozens of applications, resources and tutorials. Below is just a small sample of some of my favorites.
1. Invision
A few years ago, in order to show my clients the website design I'd created for them, I would have to mock up an html page. With Invision it literally takes just a few minutes to create a pretty amazing and interactive prototype, and then test and review your work with clients without any coding at all. Easily create lifelike interactions by adding customizable "hotspots" to your design files that link your screens together realistically. The InVision team is always updating the application and coming up with some really nice features to help present and share your work. Since I've started using this application I can't imagine designing without it. Check out InVision.
2. Join.me
Here is another application I consider essential to my working environment. I use Join.me on an almost daily basis to pitch ideas, give presentations or just meet with clients to go over concepts. It has many of the same features as some of the other popular conferencing applications–video conferencing, free audio conferencing, mobile apps, presenter swap, one-click scheduling and a personal link for screen sharing; the big difference is this one is free.
3. The noun project
This one was a hidden gem that was introduced to me by SAC's own junior designer Tali Singer. The site catalogs symbols created and shared by designers around the globe and has over 150,000 vector icons for free download and use. The great thing about this site is that its growing every day. Normally, I would say to stay away from sites like this but I was pretty impressed with the quality of the icons. It's definitely worth checking out these FREE icons.
4. LiveView
This is my favorite! It has changed the way I design for mobile application. Develop pixel-perfect graphics for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad quickly and easily with a live view of your canvas/artboard while you work in any Mac application. Interact with software prototypes and demos running on your Mac to communicate and iterate your concepts quickly by controlling your Mac's cursor via touch. This one is worth the $10 and will save you tons of time. Change the way you design for the web.
This is one for all you Flash developers and banner designers, but really it's a great tool for websites in general. This site simply takes your compressed .jpg or.png file and uses their own compression algorithm to reduce the image size up to 70% without any visual difference. I can't tell you how long I've spent in the past trying to get images small enough to meet some of the publication requirements out there. I recently used this application to reduce images on our own site and I was able to get a page to load in under 2 seconds. Take a look out our portfolio ( shameless self-promotion). This baby really has saved me many times over. The application is free, and there is a Photoshop Plugin you can get as well for $50. But you may want to try the FREE version firs. Get tiny
That's it for now. I love everything design, including discovering and collecting resources, and I'll be sharing more in future posts. If you want to hear more and you just can't wait, or if you have a great resource to share, write to me.

Hello, happy Go world!Wednesday, January 31st, 2007
I have added a blog to my 361points.com Go site – and this is the first entry. I used to have an older Go site at igo.resurse.com, where I wrote mainly about my experience as an insei in Japan (which was waaay back in 1994-95). I decided recently that I want to make it into a new site and add much more to it. That's how 361points.com came to life. For now I moved and rearranged a little bit the old content, but I also started adding new things, most notably a series of Go lessons. Hope to hear your comments and ideas about how to make 361points.com better, and by that I mean more useful and interesting to you. So please don't hesitate to add your comments here.

Happy couple cutting their golden anniversary cake.
Half a century spent in marital bliss is an occasion worth noting with a huge celebration. Deciding on a dinner party to commemorate 50 years of marriage, called the golden anniversary, is the perfect way for friends and family to celebrate with the couple. Whether the party is held in a hall, at a restaurant, the couple's own backyard or at a friend's home, dinner, drinks and dancing are sure to be a hit.
Host the dinner party at the couple's favourite restaurant. If possible, choose the restaurant where they went on their first date, or an upscale place they've never been. Reserve a room or table large enough for everyone. Decorate the table if the restaurant allows. While full-fledged decorations may not be possible, a centrepiece of fifty red roses or the couple's wedding photo in a gold frame may be fitting. You can also tie "Happy 50th Anniversary" balloons to the couple's chairs.
Benefits of hosting the dinner party at a restaurant include the no-hassle approach. You won't be in charge of cooking or clean-up. Allow everyone to choose any meal off of the restaurant's menu. Or, offer guests a specific choice of dishes that you've planned with the restaurant ahead of time. Try offering at least three dinner choices, such as chicken, beef and a vegetarian plate.
You may be able to bring in your own anniversary cake, although the restaurant may require it to come from a bakery. Ask ahead of time so your plans aren't foiled.
Rent a Hall
Renting out an entire banquet hall may be the best choice for a large anniversary party. The venue will be exclusive to your party. You also may be able to set up a gift table and decorate according to the couple's taste. You can even create a dance floor.
As for food, some banquet halls may require you to use their in-house caterer or choose from a list of specified vendors. You may be able to bring in your own caterer. If you plan on having the meal catered, you should offer a buffet style set up. This way, guests can choose what they want to eat. Or, you can offer a specific menu. Try to offer at least two or three main dishes, as well as a vegetarian plate. If possible, recreate the couple's original wedding menu.
Another option is to make the food yourself, if the hall allows. Prepare enough for everyone. If possible, enlist the help of friends or relatives. Serve one or two kinds of meat, bread, fruits, vegetables and a salad. Consider a pasta dish, which would also make a good vegetarian option.
Backyard Celebrations
Another option is to host a dinner party at home, or in the backyard. You can have the food catered, or make it a more casual event if the couple wouldn't like the "fuss" of a restaurant or banquet hall. Barbecue hamburgers and hot dogs, or opt for chicken and ribs. Offer an array of side dishes such as cold salads along with baked beans, potatoes and vegetables.
Tint any food you can with a gold food colouring, or offer gold-colour punch. Decorate with gold streamers and "50th Anniversary" banners. Serve the food on gold-colour paper plates. Put a golden twist on the anniversary party, even if it's a simple barbecue. The golden theme will signify the importance of the celebration.
Another option is hosting a potluck dinner so you aren't left with the full responsibility of cooking for all of the guests.
Use the original cake topper if you can locate it. Your local bakery may even be able to bake a cake resembling the original wedding cake. Imagine how surprised the couple will be to see their wedding cake again!

They say God often asks you to do things for which you are inadequate. That way He gets the glory for any success that comes from your service. I know this is true! I know, because on Sunday mornings I take a seat at the piano bench, take a deep breath and hope that my playing would somehow help enhance the church's worship experience.
I am a worshiper, not a pianist. Oh, how I would love to be an excellent pianist, but after 9 long years of lessons, it just never clicked. Reading music and playing the piano simultaneously never became more to me than trying to juggle 4 balls while patting my head with one hand and rubbing my stomach with the other. Years after I stopped taking piano lessons, God "revealed" to me how to play using chording. Just seconds later, He told me "Now you know, now you will have to practice." Well, I have been practicing for just over 20 years now, and I am still limping along. It's embarrassing at times, banging away at the keys, making more of a joyful noise than anything melodic. But I keep plodding along.
The precious church endures me. And from time to time someone actually tells me what a great job I'm doing. (Which I chalk up more to their lack of musical knowledge than my actual playing.) But I do appreciate their encouragement! Sometimes, someone I know to be a far better musician than I, tells me I'm getting better. And even though my progress is slow, I know that they are being truthful.
But all that aside, it matters not if I am improving or if I am doing a great job. Nor does it matter if I often feel inadequate or embarrassed. Obedience is the real task at hand. I play the piano, because He asked me to. It is as simple as that. When I play, God gets the glory. When I play, He is pleased. Not because I am a skilled musician, but because I am willing to humble myself, step out of my comfort zone and obey Him in something He has asked of me.
So the next time God asks you to do something for which you are inadequate. Just say yes, knowing that being inadequate is a major job requisite for serving in His kingdom.
"For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, "Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord." – 1 Corinthians 1:26-31
"And Samuel said, "Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams." – 1 Samuel 15:22

The coin was stumbled upon by a man
walking along the banks of the River Ivel in Bedfordshire.
It was struck in London and bears the image of King Coenwulf, who ruled
7th Century kingdom Mercia, in central England.
The artefact, which was found in 2001, will go under the hammer on Wednesday at London auction house Spink.
Speaking of his initial reaction, Richard Bishop, coin specialist at Spink, said: "It took a little while for this to sink in.
Secret location
"Obviously, it was something special but I had no idea how important it was."
The precise site where the coin was discovered has been kept secret.
Proceeds from the sale will be split between the landowner and the finder, both of whom wish to remain anonymous.
Experts have valued the coin, which weighs 4.33 grams (a fraction of an ounce), at between £120,000 and £150,000 and say it is the earliest pure gold
English penny.

Thomas Woods On The Economy

He has a point, and is right on a lot of things, but his official position goes directly contrary to Pius XI's Ubi Arcanum. Woods denies the Social Kingship of Christ, which is critical for a truly stable and free society.

I'll tell you what. Email Tom Woods and tell him he is going against the Social Kingship of Christ. Lets see how he responds. Id love to see what he has to say about it.

I emailed him about your comment here. I have heard others make the same accusation about him. Maybe if he has the time he will respond.

It seems that Woods has answered similar accusations made against him on his website, under the articles section. So far, I do not follow how he is going against the encyclical that you quoted or the Social Kingship of Christ. I am becoming a bit perplexed about how people are interpreting these social encyclicals.

Want to know how to fix the economy? God gave us that answer years ago. He set up the stable economy in the Bible when He formed Israel as a nation. It went like this...
I AM God.
I AM the creator of all.
EVERYTHING belongs to Me.
EVERYTHING you have is a result of My Providence.
Render unto Me the things that are Mine.
Give Alms, give generously, help your fellow man.
And as law, on the Jubliee year, settle your debts. If one is unable to pay, then release them of their debts. If you are holding anyone's ancestral land and they require it to live and survive, give it back to them. If any among you are slaves or their children are slaves, you are to release them unless they wish to continue to serve you. Do this, because I the Lord have a right to EVERYTHING, and your mercy and goodess shall not be in vain.
Thus the Jubliee years and the observances of ancient Israel would help RESET the economy and lives of people back to something managable. Authorities would rightly decide who could settle their debts and who was unable to pay it. Rich men would still be rish if only a little lesser, others would be alright. And the poor and unfortunate would get a helping hand. And as for those who would take advantage of this for their own opportunity, let the Lord deal with them.
In other words, a managable SACRIFICE was required on behalf of those who had much or were advantaged to help things along. For everything belonged to God, and God would remember those who gave, not because man made policies like socialism demanded such things, but it was in order to give thanks and honor God by observing His commandments and doing so for the sake of a stable society.
Sadly this sort of thing would never be accepted by people today. But that's because we've come so far away from the era of ancient Israel who wandered the desert and finally set foot upon the Promised Land and whose enemies fell before them with the help of God. So they valued this.
Unfortunately a time came when Israel would not honor this anymore and under King Solomon, as his lust for wealth and fame grew, and as he overtaxed the people, and led them into sin and idolatory, the last straw between Israel and God was broken when they refused to set free their own people who became as slaves in the Jubliee year, forgetting that they once were slaves and God had led them out of Egypt. So, they were exiled.
History is going to repeat itself. People are going to become so indebted to those over them that they become as slaves, and be further led into sin thourhg idolatory and false religions and beliefs and apostasy. Then God will act, and punishment will come upon us all.

Top 12 Aussie boutique beers
By Louise Johnson
If you thought tasting notes for wine could get a little outrageous, wait until you start on the world of beer. Boutique brewers across Australia are rolling out beers that command as much attention as a hand-crafted wine, and deservedly so.
Here's our top 12 boutique brews from around the country.
Feral White
Feral Brewing Company, Western Australia
The Feral Brewing Company's White Beer is produced in the true Belgian style with 50 percent barley and 50 percent wheat and an imported Belgian yeast strain. It is cloudy and unfiltered with coriander and orange peel added during the boil to contribute a spicy citrus flavour.
Mountain Goat Brewery, Victoria
Winner of the 2009 Premier's Trophy for Best Victorian Beer at the Australian International Beer Awards, Rapunzel is a Belgian strong blonde ale in the style of Duvel. Gold coloured with a white, foamy head, it smells spicy, with clovey aromas derived from the yeast, and some spiritiness from the high alcohol content. It's a medium-bodied beer, with a dry finish, low bitterness and that high alcohol content is balanced with slight sweetness and spicy yeast characters. Unfortunately, Rapunzel is a bit of a rarity. The current batch is nearly wiped out and is only available on tap at the brewery in Richmond and at the Taphouse in St Kilda.
Barons Black Wattle Original Ale
Barons Brewery, NSW
An amber coloured ale brewed with native Australian roasted wattle seeds. Barons Black Wattle Original Ale was the first in this new class of beer - flavoured by native Australian roasted wattle seed. The ale has a rich amber colour and a base malt flavour of toffee and caramel. The roasted wattle seed rounds out the offering with a unique taste that hints of hazelnut, chocolate and mocha. It is a full bodied, full flavoured beer that is surprisingly smooth with an amazingly silky finish.
Dirty Angel
The Flying Horse Bar and Brewery, Victoria
The Dirty Angel won the 2009 trophy for Champion Porter at the Australian International Beer Awards. A deep mahogany coloured ale with rich malt characters and hints of toffee, the raisiny, blackcurrant dryness in the finish is typical in beers made with dark malts and high alcohol content. English grown Golding's hops lend a distinctly floral hop flavour in the background.
Red Hill Brewery, Victoria
Light and refreshing aromatics from the Goldings and Hallertau Hops it is brewed from, this is a classic style of beer known as Belgian strong golden ale, and is beyond tempting. Smooth and complex with intense flavours and depth, fermentation starts cool and reaches very high temperatures creating a fruity yeast aroma and lots of hops late in the boils creates spicy aromatics. The alcohol content of 8 percent makes this beer dangerous and tempting, and is well hidden with a crisp dry finish; once you've started there is no turning back. This beer has a high level of carbonation, a beautiful golden colour and luxuriant big white foamy head.
Seven Sheds Raspberry Beer, Tasmania
Available from Seven Sheds Brewery cellar-door, the Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm Café (Elizabeth Town) and Crown Cellars (Launceston), this delicious raspberry beer pours with a distinctive hazy, pink colour and fluffy white head of foam. Subtle raspberry notes come through in the aroma and the palate; the finish is dry and thirst-quenching. It is brewed with raspberries from Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm (36kg/500L batch), a dash of clover honey and a modicum of Seven Sheds estate-grown Leggett hop flowers.
Stone and Wood Pale Lager
Stone and Wood, NSW
Stone and Wood Pale Lager has a sparkling light colour, and a flavour that strikes a fine balance between its subtle hop aroma and full malt palate with soft clean finish. The brewers say they have taken a slow and careful approach to brewing a delicate but very balanced beer that is fermented slowly at cold temperatures and then given the gift of time to lager so it can develop its complexity.
Hop Thief Ale
James Squire, Victoria
Hop Thief Ale is a smooth, deep amber brew featuring a unique blend of Australian hops to create an enticing floral bouquet. Only 11,000 cases were made available for purchase, so beer lovers should embrace the cooler months and take this opportunity to taste great Australian craft beer at its best. Hop Thief Ale uses the late addition of hops to add a depth of aroma, flavour and complexity to the beer, which allows for a pronounced floral aroma.
Chestnut Lager
Bridge Rd Brewers, Victoria
A unique Australian Lager, brewed in Beechworth from Chestnuts grown locally in the Beechworth and Stanley hills. The Chestnut Lager also uses Galaxy hops from the Rostrevor Hop Garden in the nearby Ovens Valley. This unique lager is very pale and presents a crisp 'pilsner' like profile combined with a distinct nutty character owing to the use of Chestnuts in the mash. The crisp clean profile of this beer lends itself to the summer months.
Hargreaves Hill Pale Ale
Hargreaves Hill Brewing, Victoria
The original brewery, then located in Steels Creek, burnt down in the February 2009 bushfires, however through the generous assistance of other breweries, brewing has continued. Currently, Hargreaves Hill is completing its new brewery in Lilydale. Their first release, Pale is brewed from a blend of specialty malts which add character and complexity to the flavour, and supply a rich cognac hue. Pale is bittered with American grown Cascade hops, and a late addition to the boil provides the citric floral notes which are released immediately after pouring, balanced with the toasty aromas of the crystal malt - a highly roasted malt variety. A marmalade bitterness appears at the end of the palate.
White Rabbit Dark Ale
White Rabbit, Victoria
Proudly part of the Yarra Valley community of fantastic food and wine producers, White Rabbit brews beer that doesn't just follow the others. As their website says: "You have to start with tradition but then you need to expand your mind a little!" The White Rabbit is a dark ale essentially malt driven but with the firm bitterness of whole hops to ensure balance. Subtle yet delicious, with flavour built around yeast that is allowed to go wild, it has complex flavours and handsome character. This is a beer you will love to drink anytime, anywhere.
Moo Brew, Tasmania
From Moorilla Estate just outside Hobart, Moo Brew is dedicated to the art of fine brewing bringing together the highest quality ingredients, state of the art technology, tradition and commitment in the uncompromising pursuit of brewing excellence. Moo Brew contains no preservatives and is not pasteurised. Hefewelzen is a classic German wheat beer, naturally cloudy with a vibrant yellow colour and a strong foam head.

Express Transformers & Controls Ltd, was formed in 1953 in a 3000 square foot factory in Croydon, Surrey.
Eleven years later in 1964, the company expanded and opened another factory at Picow Farm Road, Runcorn, Cheshire, this one had 6000 square feet of production area.
The Croydon factory was producing the larger transformers, up to 200 kVA and the Runcorn factory concentrated on the smaller range, generally up to 3kVA.
In 1981 the company expanded further and the decision was made to close the Croydon factory and enlarge the Cheshire factory to accommodate the southern production.
In 2014 the company went into administration but the management team are delighted to inform you that in February 2015 the business and assets of Express Transformers & Controls Limited (in Administration) were purchased from the Administrator.
So, with effect from the close of business on the 28 February 2015, the new company, Express Transformers & Controls (2015) Limited will be continuing the long-established business in Runcorn with our expert workforce and are looking forward to a long and satisfactory business relationship with our customers.

Whether it occurs within the workplace or in marriage, verbal abuse can be difficult to prove. Verbal abuse leaves no physical evidence behind, so it is often your word against the abuser's. The key is to document things as well as you can, and keep an organized record of the abuse. If you can show many pieces of evidence of the abuse, it will increase the chance that a jury will believe you.
Keep a notebook documenting the verbal abuse. Write down the date and time of each incident, what was said and who was present to hear it, and any useful background information.
Get testimonies from people who witnessed the verbal abuse, either on a digital recorder or in writing. These testimonies will strengthen your case against the abuser.
Record the verbal abuse on a digital recorder. Record any abuse that was spoken over the phone on a telephone recorder.
Save abusive notes and e-mails. If your abuser leaves a note on a dry erase board or some other place where you can't actually save it, take a picture of it.
Seek a protective order against the abuser if the abuse is occurring at home. If it is at work, file a formal complaint. You may be able to convince the abuser to cease harassing you, and you may be able to use the report as evidence later on.

Our story began with a simple idea :
Make a beverage that is better for the people who drink it!
Alcoholism in Seniors and the advantages to drink ArKay alcohol substitute
What's wrong with enjoying a drink or two when you've reached your golden years? Maybe nothing, if the alcoholic drinks are consumed safely and responsibly.
But opinions are split on whether it's a good thing to serve alcohol in seniors living communities for many reasons, including late onset alcoholism.
While some argue that it's safer to provide alcohol in a regulated setting, where residents can consume it under the supervision of senior living staff, others cite the increased health dangers of alcohol consumption in seniors, and the potential for substance abuse in the elderly.
A recent study in Research on Aging suggests that nearly 70% of assisted living residents consume alcohol, and over a third drink alcohol daily. Many researchers are taking this as a sign that it's time to take a closer look at alcohol in senior living, and whether it's right for senior living communities to regulate their residents' drinking habits by offering them Arkay instead.
Should Assisted Living Serve Arkay Alcohol Substitute to their Seniors?
There's no doubt about it — plenty of complications go along with seniors drinking alcohol. When there's substance abuse in the elderly coupled with other health problems, such as dementia, Alzheimer's and heart disease — and the list goes on — health can decline rapidly and senior behavior and happiness can be at stake.
The safer option would be to serve ArKay to the Seniors as it contains zero alcohol, zero fat, zero sugar, and it does not interact with their medicines.
Responsible alcohol consumption and effective drinking policies have to take these factors into account:
- When people age, their alcohol tolerance weakens, and the effects of drinking alcohol tend to be more pronounced. A Baylor University studyon rats earlier this year was only the latest in a long string of data showing that the aged experience greater alcohol-related impairment, creating late onset alcoholism. Our bodies can't metabolize it as effectively, and as a result, seniors can experience more significant coordination and memory problems and an increased risk of falls and accidents — a real problem in those with limited mobility.
- Alcohol can aggravate existing medical conditions in seniors, create complications in medical treatment, and even cause new conditions. Common medical conditions that are exacerbated by alcohol include diabetes, osteoporosis and malnutrition, notes the West Virginia University School of Public Health.
- Seniors in assisted living often take multiple medications, both prescription and over-the-counter. Combining alcohol with medicationscan be risky, causing drug interactions that may reduce the effects of the medication or, conversely, render it more dangerous or even toxic.
- Seniors have additional risk factors for alcoholism that younger adults don't. Getting older can come with physical pain, emotional stress, and loneliness. Feelings of isolation from the death of a spouse, the stress of moving out of the family home and into senior living, or a difficult transition into retirement, can lead to increased alcohol use and even dependence. Late onset alcoholism can be a result.
- ArKay would be the best option for the millions of elderly peoples who cannot drink liquor for medical reasons
With the above factors to consider, it's easy to understand why some senior living communities might decide it isn't worth the risk to serve alcohol and chose to serve Arkay instead. Contributing to substance abuse in elderly residents is also something many physicians, senior care professionals and families frown upon. It's all about the healthy balance of a cocktail every now and again, compared to multiple drinks daily for the elderly residents.
Finding Assisted Living for Alcoholic Parents
It is important to note that the statistics are not clear-cut. The Research on Aging study found that 28% of senior residents make potentially unwise choices about alcohol consumption. However, the study was conducted assisted living communities independent of their policies on alcohol. Those policies vary widely, from communities with outright bans, to those who allow consumption only in designated areas or with physician permission, to those with their own happy hours and on-site lounges. That tells us that, regardless of alcohol policies, alcohol is being consumed.
From there, one could conclude that maybe it doesn't matter whether alcohol is regulated or not; residents who want to drink are going to find ways to do so. But that also doesn't mean it's safe. Also, it's notoriously difficult to detect alcohol dependence or abuse in older adults. When asked by a doctor, they may underreport the amount they consume. Physical symptoms of alcohol dependence may be attributed to other medical conditions, like Alzheimer's. Also, family members may be in denial about their loved ones' drinking habits.
But finding the right senior living community for your loved one plays a huge role in the 'substance abuse in elderly' problem. If drinking is important — and has always been a big part of your loved one's life — then finding a community that regulates alcohol may be the best option for your family. Consulting your doctor for recommendations on the healthiest options for your senior, as far as both emotional happiness and overall health, have to be considered. If a physician strongly recommends that your loved one should not be drinking for specific health reasons, there are programs for your loved ones, in addition to assisted living communities that can cater to their needs to fill the alcohol void.
Late Onset Alcoholism
While some people develop alcoholism early in life, others develop it during their golden years. Typically people affected by early-onset alcoholism have a genetic or biological susceptibility that makes them unusually vulnerable to addiction. But people who are affected by late onset alcoholism usually don't have a genetic predisposition, but instead encounter situations in their everyday life — that are either physically or mentally challenging — that support a pattern of excessive alcohol intake, leading to alcoholism.
One of the main problems with late onset alcoholism is that as people age, their bodies are more susceptible to problems from drinking. They could have a medical condition such as dementia or Alzheimer's that, when combined with alcohol, can become completely unmanageable for caregivers.
Families and senior living communities need to provide a good support system to either help prevent late onset alcoholism, or work with the senior to find something fun and engaging to help distract and discourage drinking. It is strongly recommended you consult physicians in the case of your loved ones suffering from substance abuse late in life.
Aging and Alcoholism: Thoughts on Preventing Alcohol Abuse in Seniors
The issue, clearly, is a thorny one. There have been many studies citing the health benefits of moderate alcohol consumption, making it even more difficult to argue for an outright ban. Also complicating matters is the idea of respect for the autonomy of residents in senior living communities. Most of us find the thought of treating our elder loved ones like children, micromanaging their day-to-day behaviors, to be distasteful.
Perhaps the emphasis would be better placed on prevention of alcohol dependence and abuse, promotion of responsible alcohol use, and treatment of those already battling alcoholism, rather than on restricting access in the first place. Even the authors of the Research on Aging study say they are not advocating an alcohol ban in assisted living but definitively they would recommend Arkay as a good alternative.

Side effects and safety of drinking ArKay
No hangovers
One of the big benefits of drinking Arkay instead of alcohol is that it will not overly dehydrate your body or fill it with the toxins that lead to headaches and hangovers. While Arkay won't impair your cognitive abilities and mental clarity in the same way that alcohol does.
ArKay has been proven to be non-addictive. Unlike other substances, drinking Arkay is not habit forming and you will not build up a tolerance to the effects of drinking ArKay causing you to need to drink more each time. In fact, the exact opposite has been show, that the beneficial effects of a drink of Arkay can be felt even more when it is drank on subsequent occasions. This is because of the distinctive way that Arkay affects the brain.
Some of our alcohol free liquors are very strong and you may be surprised by the strength of the drink.
When drinking Arkay for the first time you should try it the same way as if you drink a cocktail by mixing Arkay with cola or sparkling water over ice, then wait few seconds for the bubbles to settle down before you drink.

How Arkay was invented?
The founder of Arkay, a product line of beverages that are whisky-flavored, but 100% free of alcohol. Though only recently introduced, demand for the beverage has generated sales throughout the world, and the company is building on current successes by introducing new lines of vodka, rum, gin and Tequila, which may taste like the real deal, but are totally free of alcohol.
Grattagliano was inspired to produce the drinks following an episode with his 22 year-old son, who upon returning home from a party where there was ample imbibing, began to feel those certain unappealing after-effects. "He suggested that someone should create a whisky that doesn't leave you feeling so hung-over," explains Grattagliano.
The son, of course, didn't realize that suggestion would compel his father to not only spend the next five years of his life researching such a method, but he would spend five million dollars to make it happen.
Though Grattagliano doesn't have a background in beverage development, he certainly understands chemistry, as well as how to combine ingredients in such a way as to attract allure and appeal from the discriminating masses. He has made an enviable fortune by creating designer perfumes which are touted by some of the top beauty & cosmetic companies known to the world. After spending nearly two years attempting to devise an alcohol-free derivative that not only smelled, but tasted like whiskey, Grattagliano sought the expertise from a team of scientists at a lab in Switzerland. This collaboration ultimately resulted in the creation of an entirely new molecule, the quintessential break-through by which Arkay beverages were born.
The name derives from Grattagliano's travels abroad. Apparently, during his stays in China, some people had trouble pronouncing his first name. Instead of saying "Reynald" their utterance was closer to "Arr-K" – which was AOK with him.
Grattagliano worked several years on the project and it is only in 2012 that the W.A.R.M molecule was discovered

Some people remain alive even after death. Nelson Mandela was one of them.
India acknowledged the greatness of the legend much before the world could wake up to his wisdom of sublime character.
India's conferring him with Bharat Ratna, the nation's highest civilian honour, came much before the Nobel Prize for Peace was awarded to him in 1993. He was the first non-Indian recipient of the prestigious Bharat Ratna.
His majesty lies in the continual search for the highest ideals for humanity, which he never ceased to pursue, even when he was insulted, imprisoned and put on trial.
Where does the path of Mandela inspire us to lead? A deeper reflection will take us to the legacy of his tolerance and reconciliation…the cornerstone of his life.
He had once remarked: '"What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead."
Mandela truly believed in the glory of human freedom. He stood firm and took his country from the extremes of apartheid to the path of democracy.
He said, "For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.'
Mandela had a lifelong respect for education. He saw equality of opportunity through education as the key to emancipation, a principle yet to be realized in South Africa, or elsewhere in the world.
He emphasized the principle of leadership through values and dealt severely with widespread perceptions of incompetence and abuse of power, a bitter reality we currently go through.
Mr. Nelson Mandela based his entire life on the principle of dialogue and the art of listening and speaking to others.
Drawing on the rich traditions of transformative dialogue, problem-solving and social renewal he facilitated greater understanding and awareness about the problems faced by people around the world.
His fearless struggle was against the evil of racism, that is to say, white oppression in South Africa.
Through his crusade, he taught the world what activism really meant. With no fear in his heart, Mandela stood up to those who sought to oppress others.
Speaking at his own defense case in Pretoria in 1964, he said: 'I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.'
On his release from prison and subsequent election to the leadership of South Africa he had every reason to seek revenge on those who had imprisoned him.
Instead he advocated forgiveness and a new start. As such he is a model figure for all those areas of the world where past history breeds revenge.
His respect for informed criticism and research-based perspectives was palpable. He gave credence to logic and disapproved falsehood.
Mandela's leadership in combating HIV/Aids was his yet greatest contribution after standing down as president.
He had acknowledged that he had been too slow to recognize the danger, oversensitive to the traditional reticence to talk about sex or sexuality. He went on to lead a global campaign for awareness and effective and appropriate treatment.
Mandela was undoubtedly an inspirational figure. He had touched and positively enriched the lives of thousands of children through visits to schools, hospitals and other institutions.
His messages of inspiration and, most recently, the endorsement of an illustrated children's version of his book 'The Long Walk to Freedom' enlivened the spirits of many little angels.
He showed everyone the incredible strength of human spirit and invigorated all those who suffered from adversity.
Upon becoming the first Black and democratically elected President of South Africa, he said: 'The time for the healing of the wounds has come. The moment to bridge the chasms that divide us has come. The time to build is upon us. We have, at last, achieved our political emancipation. We pledge ourselves to liberate all our people from the continuing bondage of poverty, deprivation, suffering, gender and other discrimination.'
The path of Mr. Mandela is truly the path of equality and freedom. He is an example of justice for the entire world.
The man lives no more, yet his legacy lives on. It is in us now to keep his path brightened with the message he has left behind.

Rocker Jack Russell and his former bandmates in Great White have reached a settlement in their ongoing legal spat over the group's name.
The co-founding member and original frontman sued Mark Kendall, Michael Lardie and Audie Desbrow over their continuing use of the moniker after poor health forced him to take a hiatus from the group.
Russell claimed his bandmates kicked him out while he was recovering from surgery to repair a perforated bowel. The band countersued.
Now, after three days of mediation, the two parties have reached an agreement which will allow the members of Great White to continue performing and recording under the name, while Russell will perform as Jack Russell's Great White.

Moschino Fall/Winter 2014-2015 Collection – Milan Fashion Week
In case you have been looking forward to the next amazing collection by Moschino, we are glad to tell you that the time has come, and the brand-new Moschino fall/winter 2014-2015 collection has been recently unveiled for the flamboyant Milan Fashion Week. Going to extreme lengths is too mildly put in this case, because all the garments we saw here are more than innovative and greater than gorgeous. This is the case when imagination really has no limits, and we are seeing the most creative and unbelievable manifestations of the flight of fantasy with every new Moschino collection.
The Moschino fall/winter 2014-2015 collection really aced it, presenting a show consisted of two parts, the first one presenting some casualwear options, youthful shapes, and extravagant designs, while the second one comes to prove nothing is over yet! Thus the first part starts with some curious inspirations of McDonald's and Sponge Bob, presenting some very curious red and yellow combos with text prints on the back, where the M for Moschino resembles the M for McDonald's, some interesting chain details put as heavy accessories adorning all over the looks, text prints for top and skirt combos again, followed with the super sassy black and white camouflage resembling prints for coats of the same design and quilted white jackets plus black and white mini dresses. Even the sunglasses had the typically thematic shapes!
Further, the color palette changes to pale blue, while the golden prevalence remains. The all glittery party combos of jackets and wide leg pants were also included in the best looks of the Moschino fall/winter 2014-2015 collection, presented with black, as well as black and white pairs. The fur garments were also presented with very interesting and catchy ways, like in the case of the black long coat carrying text prints "fur real'. The metallic Moschino reading details covering all over the next looks of black shades mainly were specific and curious here.
Later, we see those black dots on a yellow background and we realize there comes Sponge Bob! In this way, we see a whole array of dresses, leggings, tops, jackets, bags, shoes, fur options, and even caps with those design patterns and the figures of our favorite and funny cartoon hero!
Finally, as the lights go out, we all think the show is over and the models are going to make the final defile now, but wait! Here they come with utterly different and super flabbergasting pieces, which have the most creative and incredible inspiration as a thematic background. The luxuriously flamboyant and excessively big gowns present the most favorite foods and snacks we love to have from time to time so much! From milk chocolates to cheese crackers and a white wedding gown with "Nutrition facts', these dresses are even more than just matchless! The massively designed details like bows on the waist and mantles correspond to the striking nature of these pieces ideally.
So we are just speechless after looking through the dazzling and absolutely ineffable Moschino fall/winter 2014-2015 collection, with the help of which Moschino proves to be a real genius once more! Don't miss the chance of finding the most breathtaking and cool garments you've ever seen, and hurry to have a scrupulous look at these wonderful images!

|China's perspective
PERTH, Australia - Chief Coordinator of the multinational search team hunting for the missing Malaysian flight MH370 on Sunday confirmed that vessels from both Australia and China had detected suspected pulse signals in recent days, saying more ships and planes are deployed for further verifications and he is satisfied with the current cooperation with China.
Angus Houston, head of the Joint Agency Coordination Center ( JACC) told a press conference that he was well advised by the Chinese side about the "ping" picked up by the search vessel Haixun 01 in the past two days.
According to media reports, experts onboard the Haixun 01 detected a pulse signal twice with a frequency of 37.5 kHz per second, which is the same as emitted by flight recorders.
Houston told reporters Haixun 01 redetected the signals for 90 seconds Saturday within just 2 km of the original detection following its discovery on Friday.
Regarding a query whether China had informed Australia on Friday when its ship received the signal for the first time, Houston said he was "completely comfortable" with the level of information being provided by the Chinese government and was "very satisfied" with the level of consultation between the two countries.
Meanwhile, he disclosed the Australian ship Ocean Shield which has US underwater search equipment on board also received separate "acoustic event" on Sunday some 300 nautical miles away from the location of Haixun 01.
However, Houston urged caution on both new findings because they have not been verified yet, saying the search team treats every reported lead very seriously and that's why Australian airforce plane and more ships are directed to assist further investigation.
"The information has been passed through the Chinese authorities to the Australian authorities with a request to do further investigation of the detection, that's why (British) HMS Echo and Australian vessel Ocean Shield which has special equipment which will be useful in the circumstances are proceeding to the location of Haixun 01," said Houston.
Echo will arrive in the location in hours and the Ocean Shield would be there in more than 24 hours since it needs to investigate the signal found by itself first, he said.
Houston said the refined satellite data has shifted the search point to the south part of the corridor which is "the most likely area that the aircraft entered the water."
Haixun 01 is in the southern area and "that's why we are really interested in the two acoustic encounters that Haixun 01 has had," he told reporters.
Asked by Xinhua how difficult it would be to retrieve the black box if the signal received by Haixun 01 is confirmed related to MH370, Houston said it would be a very difficult and long process.
"The water in which Haixun 01 is working at the moment is 4,500 meters deep which is incredible, so any recovery operation is going to be very challenging and very demanding and will take a long period of time," said the chief.
"First of all, we have to establish the fact that there's something down there, we are a long way from making that conclusion," he added.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott who is currently in Japan said he is "hopeful" but "not certain" about the Chinese detection.
"It's a very difficult mission and we need to be very careful about jumping to a quick conclusion," he said.
Australian Defense Minister David Johnston also urged caution over the new findings, saying they could be another false lead.
"I have not had a chance to get to the bottom of this but can I tell you this is not the first time we've had something that has turned out to be very disappointing," he told local ABC 24.
The international search team on Sunday intensified efforts to hunt the MH370 which disappeared on March 8.
According to the JACC, 10 military planes, two civil planes and 13 ships have been deployed for the mission.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) has three separate search areas planned for Sunday about 2,000 km northwest of Perth, totaling some 216,000 square km.

Volvo XC60: Road Test Review
- Apr 2, 2018
- Views : 25965
The Audi Q5 has drawn in the crowds in terms of sales in India. No doubt, its larger sibling the Q7 commands a solid presence and the smaller Q3 exudes a more chic appeal, but when it comes to a practical product offering in the premium SUV space, the Q5 is second to none. Further, Audi India has steadily and successfully been offering their latest products in India, usually within a few months of their global debut. This has not only provided them with a solid impetus in the market but has also resulted in the company having a rather young fleet in its product offering. After all, who wouldn't want to buy the latest vehicle that's out there and judging by the sales figures, this strategy is working well for the company. In the light of that, the Audi Q5 was due for an upgrade and sure enough, the new version is now available right here on Indian shores.
Unlike other mid-life product upgrades, the Q5 has gone through a rather substantial metamorphosis. The exteriors have been treated to offer a sportier and sharper profile compared to the outgoing model. The design ethos, which borrows heavily from the Q7, still exists but the vehicle just looks bolder thanks to the kinked hood design with fine contoured lines and the front bumper which boasts of a trapezoidal design that adds a robust flair. Another significant change that catches your attention right away are the all-new Xenon plus headlights and LED daytime running lights.
While every manufacturer has jumped at the opportunity to offer the LED treatment to their respective products, nobody does LEDs like Audi - after all they started the trend and continue to dominate on that front. Such are the changes on the new Q5 that even our resident photographer couldn't get enough and while I tried to decipher his take on the vehicle including how captivated he was with the way the light bounced off the contours and made for photographer bliss, I was keeping to my agenda that involved better things than just staring at this machine. It was time to get inside and drive it!
Once firmly seated and buckled up, I found myself in familiar territory. After all, I have had the opportunity to be behind the wheel of just about every Audi vehicle on offer and there is a welcoming sense of familiarity in terms of how all the equipment is laid out and of course the fit and finish of some rather fine material. Now, before I fired up that beast of an engine, I took the time to admire my surroundings. The first change that I realised was already in my grip, namely the new leather covered steering wheel that boasts a 4-spoke design that is specific to the Q model range.
Not only does it feel nice to grip, it also features numerous controls that have further been accentuated with chrome rings. On the centre console, the high gloss black used on the inner fascia of the entertainment system is another change that caught my eye and I am told that customers can opt for a premium Milano leather finish to the interiors in either beige or black. If it's style that you are looking for, then the interiors of the Q5 are a fashion statement!
Regardless, being the SUV aficionado that I am, I couldn't wait any longer so without further ado, I pressed the key in its slot and got that magnificent 3.0 TDI engine to roar to life. Incidentally, Audi India is offering the new Q5 with a choice of three engines, namely a 2.0TDI, 2.0 TFSI and the 3.0 TDI, which I currently had at my disposal. The massive 2967cc V6 engine comes fitted with a common-rail injection system that is capable of developing 1800 bar and injection is via piezo injectors.
Further to that, it boasts of a VTG turbocharger and intercooler. It is an impressive amount of kit but what really matters are the 245 horses that it delivers between 4000 and 4500rpm and the solid 580Nm of torque on tap between 1400 and 3250rpm. Ensuring that you get the best out of this engine is the 7-speed S tronic transmission with electrohydraulic control. Such is the lugging power of this beast that you can't help but display a slightly evil grin as you shift into drive and unleash this machine.
For an SUV, the figures are rather impressive as the new Q5 3.0TDIq is able to go from 0-100km/h in just 6.5 seconds while returning an ARAI claimed fuel efficiency of 13.22 kilometres to the litre! Speaking of which, Audi claims that the new Q5 offers up to a 15 per cent increase in fuel efficiency across its engine range, compared to the phased out model. The company has managed to achieve this despite an increase in power. How, you might ask. Well, it's a simple equation really - reduce weight and the above is possible. Amongst the various changes that Audi has incorporated on the new Q5 is an exercise in weight reduction. A prime example is the fact that the engine bonnet and tailgate are now made of aluminium. The end result is performance and efficiency, the best of both worlds.
The icing on the cake however is the sheer capability that the new Q5 displays. This machine transcends the boundary between tarmac scorcher and mud plugger with equal élan. The Q5 ride and handling mannerisms are definitely a high point. Fitted with a new electromechanical steering that allows better response at high speeds, it also offers a heightened level of feedback than its predecessor. The vehicle comes fitted with the quattro permanent all-wheel drive system which works wonders in terms of offering better acceleration, road handling and safety both on and off the road.
Adding to that is the registered self-locking differential and torque vectoring system which further aids control, especially under low traction conditions. In terms of driver aid, Audi offers the Drive Select dynamic handling system which, at the touch of a button, allows you to switch between comfort and dynamic modes which immediately changes the set-up on the chassis and dampeners to allow for the selected choice of driving. Last but not the least is the hill descent control system which allows you to go down an incline without any driver interference other than steering control; the vehicle literally brakes on its own!
It's tech savvy and extremely capable too and I got to experience the Q5 under rather diverse conditions. While on tarmac, the Q5 was poised and well behaved, just what you would expect from a vehicle of this calibre. Ride quality is apt and while it is a little on the stiff side, you have to understand that this is an SUV and not your luxury limo! It is on the off-road course that Audi India designed that I really got to experience the true grit that this vehicle possesses.
I waded through water, drove over rocks, up a steep incline and even got to experience the hill descent function on the way back down. I drove through sand traps and even got one wheel in the air while negotiating a series of ditches but rest assured the vehicle remained easy to control and never once did it feel like it was being pushed to the limit. For a vehicle that won't see too much mud plugging action in the hands of its owners, I am glad that I got to witness this side of this beast as well; a true revelation on what a premium SUV should be capable of doing.
Audi has obviously worked real hard at taking one of their winners and making it better. I remember stating that the original Q5 was the quintessential urban SUV, but I am now going to have to revise my statement for the new one. The latest avatar of the Q5 is the quintessential premium SUV. It has the right dimensions for urban use, is well planted on tarmac, has the ability to handle a fair bit of off-roading and comes with enough power under the hood to shame a number of sedans! To put it simply, the Q5 appeals to the senses and when a vehicle connects with you at an emotional level you know that the product is just right and it is destined to be segment winner.

In his blog post entitled "Embodied cognition is not what you think it is", Andrew Wilson advocates a more authentic understanding of embodied cognition. This effort seems worthwhile, as, with any framework, embodied cognition is not merely a collection of punchlines. Rather, it acts as a lens, providing a new way of seeing and understanding something that was there all along. But these new discoveries can only be explored if one enters completely into the framework. Using the language but maintaining an old vantage point is, as Wilson argues, missing the point and completely useless as regards scientific progress.
This radical claim seems correct. If one is to make any progress, one must submit entirely to the framework. Spanish words flourish when they are around other Spanish words, as opposed to when they are taken out of context because someone thinks they sound nice. However, at this point, at a point when most of cognitive science is taking the plunge into this embodied cognition paradigm, a question arises: is it scientifically prudent to advocate the study of a single paradigm? A lot of the world speaks English these days, and while this may be communicatively convenient for many people, the result is that other languages are dying out and with them, their capacities for spokenness that English does not, and never will, possess. English is a full system, and it adapts and changes and grows along with its speakers, but there are sounds, attitudes, expressions, sentiments, etc. that other languages communicate that the native English speaker cannot understand because such communications are not available in English. While complete to itself, English is not complete to the world.
This metaphor should need no explanation. The tradition of scientific theory and description is one of fallibility and replaceability. The scientist should be very well aware that a new theory will be able to describe new aspects of life, aspects that were left unchecked by the past theory, but that in exchange they will have to give up on values the prior theory held dear.
This is an image of science with theories replacing one another. It would be like languages replacing one another (which is perhaps even worse than one language taking over). At present, it appears that science very much operates in this way. Its intentions are well-founded, as it seeks to correct itself. But it no longer corrects itself with each new theory, but rather, reinvents itself. It seems, then, that no matter how much time we spend studying embodied cognition, we will still be excluding pieces of the puzzle that other theories had tapped into (though perhaps with improper priority).
In her essay "Preserving integrity against colonization", Maxine Sheets-Johnstone encourages intellectuals to re-prioritize their efforts towards constructing a comprehensive understanding of life, and in order to do so she encourages a return to the lived-body in order to forge interdisciplinary discourse. Such an approach is idealist and radical, and that is exactly why I love it. Intellectual pursuit should be idealist and radical, otherwise it looks back upon itself and finds it is chasing its own tail. What she encourages is very much like creating a language to encompass all language, in which everything that could be said, every sound, cultural nuance, desire, etc. would have some form of expression. It seems that this should be the effort of science.
Therefore, practically speaking, it seems that cognitive science, rather than making a drastic move in the direction of embodied cognition whereupon it shuns all disciplines that disagree with it, should instead seek interdisciplinary discourse. Embodied cognition has a large emphasis on the lived-body, an excellent movement in science, and it seems this momentum may be the perfect time to act upon the efforts of which Sheets-Johnstone speaks.

Erb's palsy consists of paralysis of the shoulder girdle and upper arm muscles caused by an injury to the upper section of the brachial plexus. The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that sends signals from the spine to the arm and hand. Erbs palsy is one of several forms of brachial plexus palsy in which the arm of the afflicted child is rotated internally and hangs limply at the side. Around one to two babies in 1,000 suffer from Erb's Palsy at birth. Approximately 10% of these need treatment whereas most others will heal spontaneously.
Contact an experienced Erb's Palsy lawyer.
Many of the risk factors that contribute to the potential of an Erbs palsy injury can be uncovered during pregnancy and treated appropriately. Following are some conditions and factors that contribute to an increased risk of birth complications that may result in Erbs palsy:
- Large fetal size
- Gestation beyond forty weeks
- Gestational diabetes
- Protracted first stage of labor
- Abnormal maternal pelvic structure
- Maternal obesity
Erbs palsy affects children in a variety of ways. Some can move their hands but not their shoulder muscles. Others can move their arms but have little control over their wrist and hand. Yet others have no feeling or muscle control throughout their arm. It all depends on which nerves and how severely they are injured.
There are four kinds of nerve damage that cause Erbs palsy:
- Avulsion – the nerve is torn from the spine
- Rupture – the nerve is also torn from the spine, but not where it attaches to the spine
- Neuroma – the nerve tried to heal itself, but the resulting scar tissue puts pressure on another nerve, interfering with its ability to conduct signals to the muscles
- Praxis – the nerve is damaged but not torn. Injuries may heal without treatment
If you suspect that your child is suffering from Erbs palsy due to improper care during childbirth or other negligent factor, an experienced Erbs palsy lawyer can help you investigate if you and your family may be entitled to damages.

Last November, Dropbox pledged that its business users would gain the ability to access their personal file-storage accounts as well, and now the company's fulfilling that promise. According to The Verge, Dropbox sent an email to business customers about an upcoming press event, stating that the anticipated account-switching features will roll out across all of their devices on April 9. The email also reportedly notes that Dropbox will debut new administration tools.
See Also: Dropbox Gets Down To Business
That means Dropbox's business users will no longer have to log in and out (or use multiple browsers or privacy modes) to access documents in both their individual and professional accounts. It's a move intended to make Dropbox friendlier to business users and thus, the company has said, to improve worker productivity.
Dropbox says that it serves more than 4 million businesses, a number dwarfed by the sheer size of its consumer user base. More than 200 million people use Dropbox to manage more than one billion files, the company says.
Dropbox may need all the help it can get. Google just slashed the price of Google Drive storage to $10 a month for a terabyte of storage—far less than Dropbox's upper tier of consumer cloud storage, which costs five times as much for half the storage.
Not that Dropbox, which is worth $8 billion, is hurting. But it faces tough competition, and not just from Google. One of its biggest rivals is Box, the cloud storage company that likewise started out catering to consumers, but doubled down on business clients in 2007. Box has reportedly already filed for an initial public offering.
Both services have pros and cons. Box may not be as easy to use or ubiquitous as Dropbox, but it offers the sort of advanced security that companies require. Security has been a sore point for Dropbox.
But the company attracted $350 million in funding last month to bolster its enterprise software division. Some of that should—and probably will—go toward security.
