Buckhead resident Laura Hathaway believes that great art enriches us beyond measure. As the owner and director of Hathaway Contemporary Gallery, she is using her extroverted sales and marketing personality to build a supportive, sustaining community for the arts and connect contemporary artists with new audiences while also exploring her more introverted love for the arts.
An exhibiting photographer and painter herself, Hathaway is inspired by the work of her late grandfather, Jim Mooney, who was a photographer in WWII and a photojournalist throughout his life, published in LIFE and National Geographic. "He inspired me to find the joy in the art of photography and in all creative pursuits," she says.
Originally from Chattanooga, Tennessee, Hathaway has lived with her family in Atlanta for nearly 20 years. After college, she spent more than 10 years in sales and marketing in the pharmaceutical and real estate industries. "I love being around people. As my children grew to be a little more independent, I was ready to find full-time work that was inspiring and meaningful."
In April 2016, she opened HATHAWAY after finding the perfect space on Atlanta's Westside. "It is an edgy area of town that is easily accessed by many communities within the city. It is really becoming a fantastic artistic and culinary district in Atlanta," she notes.
The space was an empty warehouse with no lighting, HVAC or plumbing. "We chose to highlight the industrial look of the space and also lucked out with the concrete floors, which when sealed had amazing reflective qualities. In the afternoon especially, the floors look like water and add a unique element to viewing the work."
Hathaway and her team, which includes Gallery Manager Anne Weems, are focused on bringing a unique Southern hospitality to the gallery experience, giving space to the cutting-edge artists of today to express their creative voice and explore societal issues. Many exhibits at HATHAWAY include Artist Talks with the visiting artist, inviting collectors and novices alike to be part of the conversation. "We want everyone to feel welcome, free to ask questions and learn more about what contemporary art is all about," Hathaway enthuses.
Exhibits to-date have included "All Tomorrow's Parties" featuring more than 30 artists from Atlanta and Brooklyn, embracing the cities' commonalities and creating dialogue around the differences; and solo exhibitions from Georgia native Whitney Wood Bailey and mixed media artist John Folsom. In October, HATHAWAY was the exclusive Atlanta host to live portrait sessions with the historic Large Format Polaroid, providing one-of-a-kind 20×24 inch Polaroid prints shot by the director of the 20×24 Studio before production operations end in 2017. In the first quarter of this year, the gallery has welcomed such notable artists as Arnold Mesches, Maxine Hess and Fran O'Neill.
HATHAWAY is located at 887 Howell Mill Road NW. For more information, call 470.428.2061 or visit HathawayGallery.com.

MIAMI — A lot of reports have Kyrie Irving asking for a trade because he no longer wants to play alongside LeBron James.
But Cavaliers teammate Richard Jefferson believes there's a different reason behind Irving's trade request. Instead, Jefferson sees it as part of Irving's search for a more stable situation.
The 25-year-old point guard has spent the first six seasons of his NBA career with the Cavaliers and he's already playing for his fourth head coach in Tyronn Lue. Cleveland has also had three different general managers during this stretch, with Koby Altman officially named the team's new GM on Monday.
"I think Kyrie is a hyper-intelligent kid," Jefferson said on the latest episode of his "Road Trippin'" podcast, released Monday. "Really, really smart. Doesn't get enough credit for how smart he is, and I think seeing that the franchise is in flux, I think seeing [David Griffin] leave and the amount of coaches … I think Kyrie has had a much tougher time in this stretch of the organization than anyone ever wants to ever really fully [recognize].
"He's the No. 1 pick right after LeBron [left for Miami in 2010], then he has three different coaches, then LeBron comes back, now there's trade rumors, now it's 'LeBron's leaving.' It's like at some point in time, anybody would want some sort of stability."
[Heat now have 16 on roster for next season after signing guards Matt Williams, Derrick Walton Jr.]
[What were Gordon Hayward's thoughts after meeting with Heat? 'Wow, that's going to be really tough to beat']
That's probably one of the reasons the Heat are one of Irving's preferred landing spots, with the Knicks, Spurs and Timberwolves reportedly also on that list.
Miami is known as one of the NBA's most stable franchises, as Erik Spoelstra is the second-longest active tenured head coach with one team behind just San Antonio's Gregg Popovich. Spoelstra has been the Heat's head coach for the past nine seasons and received a contract extension last summer.
In addition, Heat president Pat Riley has been with the organization since 1995 and general manager Andy Elisburg is a Heat original as he joined the franchise in its inaugural 1988 season.
Regarding reports that Irving asked Cleveland to trade him because he's tired of playing as James' sidekick, Jefferson doesn't believe that's true.
"I don't think that there's a power struggle, like with LeBron and Kyrie and [Kevin Love]," said Jefferson, whose podcast is part of James' "Uninterrupted" multimedia platform.
"I think Kyrie knows how important he is to our team. LeBron knows how important he is. He has been on this podcast. They have been on this podcast together multiple times together where 'Bron was like, 'Dude, this is my guy, I need him. He is so important to me, my kids love him.' And again, just like any family there are ups and downs, there are moments that you hate them, moments that you love them, and then you just kind of keep it moving."
While there has been external discussion about the Heat trading for Irving since they are on his list of preferred destinations, there has been no indication whether Miami is actually interested in dealing for the disgruntled four-time All-Star.
The list of assets the Heat can offer the Cavaliers to bring Irving to Miami is limited.
Free agents signed this summer can't be traded until Dec. 15 at the earliest. So the Heat can't include James Johnson, Dion Waiters, Kelly Olynyk, Udonis Haslem, Matt Williams or Derrick Walton Jr. in an offseason deal for Irving.
In addition, draft picks become eligible to be traded 30 days after signing. First-round pick Bam Adebayo signed his contract with the Heat on July 1, which means he's off the table for now, too.
This leaves Goran Dragic, Hassan Whiteside, Justise Winslow, Josh Richardson, Tyler Johnson, Wayne Ellington, Rodney McGruder, Okaro White and A.J. Hammons as the only Heat players who can be traded right now. All of this means that a trade package to land Irving would likely need to be centered around Dragic or Whiteside.
As far as draft picks, the Heat don't have much to trade in that department. Miami doesn't own both of its picks in a draft until 2022.

Applause for the AP's Decision to Drop the Term "Illegal Immigrant"
The L.A. Times and New York Times are considering changes to their use of the sweeping and imprecise term "illegal immigrant" in light of the recent Associated Press (AP) style decision to drop it.
Fox News, on the other hand, has reacted to AP's move with suspicion and an article stating that AP is "under scrutiny" for its choice and "being accused of trying to influence the immigration debate." (Accused by whom, exactly? Clever use of passive tense there, Fox people.)
For my two cents on the matter, see this earlier blog on "Should the Media Use the Term Illegal Alien?"

When the far wind blows
by, 02-15-2008 at 10:56 AM (8303 Views)
Shooting In Wind
The winds effect on a bullets flight has been a subject of heated discourse for as long as shooters have been trying to hit targets at long distances. We have developed charts and computer programs in attempts to make predictions, but at best, they are only a guideline. All the mathematical theorists from Einstein to my SWAT Sniper friend Rick cant predict exactly what a bullet will do when it is fired through a real-world moving air mass.
However, the computer programs and ballistic tables are useful in teaching you the winds effects, and it is hardly a waste of time to study them. For example, the accompanying info will give you some idea of the difference of wind direction on a bullets path. It will also help to illustrate the degree of wind deflection on differing bullets and velocities. But the flaw in this info is that the predictions are built on prime conditions and assume a constant force and direction of wind.
Looking at Real-World Variables
Things are different in the atmosphere we shoot through. Winds gust and wane with currents and flows affected by terrain, vegetation and a million other factors. While it may be blowing one speed where you are, your bullet can travel through wind that is moving several different speeds before it reaches a distant target. The same goes with wind direction-over a given distance it can curl around, double back, eddy, switch and change its attitude more times than a six-year-old with a sugar buzz. If there is one constant in a winds influence on a bullet, it is the inconsistency.
The effect, as predicted in the charts and computer programs, is based on the velocity and ballistic coefficient of the bullet, which determines the time of flight, or the amount of time the wind has to act on the bullet. The more time in flight, the more the wind will blow it off course. Other factors include the bullets size and shape, which dictate the amount of area available for the wind to blow against. The bullets weight is also important because it is easier to push around a light object than it is a heavy one. Whom would you rather wrestle, Hulk Hogan or Bill Gates? Same principle.
Wind direction is yet another factor. A 90-degree side wind will blow against the full profile of the bullet, but any angle that is different will be acting on a differing percentage of the bullets surface. A full head or tail wind will have either the point or the base of the bullet to blow against, which affects retained velocity and, consequently, bullet drop. For example, a .44 Rem. Mag. 240-grain bullet with a 20 mph tailwind will have almost 100 fps more retained velocity at 500 yards than the same bullet with a 20 mph headwind. This will change the bullet path even though there is no theoretical wind drift and the difference in drop is almost 45 inches. Of course, this is an extreme example, and nobody really considers the .44 Rem. Mag. a 500-yard cartridge, but every bullet from any cartridge will be affected in some way.
Now suppose the wind is gusting from a 45-degree angle, or 20 degrees or perhaps 10 degrees. Maybe it will be from all three before the bullet makes it from your gun to the target. How much will that affect the lateral wind drift? How about the bullet drop?
I dont have a clue.
Neither does anybody else, not with all the variables.
Consider Your Bullet, Too
A bullets energy would seem to play a role as well, and the more energy it has, the better able it is to counteract the effect of the wind. This was illustrated to me while I was hunting groundhogs in Dayton Ohio with Dave Huffman a long time hunting and shooting partner.
The groundhogs were getting spooky, and our average shooting distance was growing at about the same time the wind started to really pick up. The bullets from our .223 Remingtons were being blown 30 inches or more at 400 yards. The gusting winds made predicting the shots tough, and the points of impact were very erratic. Dave broke out his custom .243 Ackley Improved, and with its heavier 80-grain bullets, the effect of the wind was not only much less pronounced, but a lot more consistent and easier to predict. I was spotting for him, and I was amazed at the difference in the amount of wind deflection and in the consistency of that deflection between the .243s 80-grain bullets and the 50-grain bullets we had been using in the .223 Rem.
A computer couldn't predict this, and if I hadnt seen it myself, I would not have believed it. A lot of groundhogs who also werent true believers learned the same lesson that day.
An Art In Itself
Shooting in the wind is far more of an art than a science, and the only real way to learn about reading the wind is to get out and shoot in it. A couple of days in a large groundhog infested field will teach you more than all the theoretical computer programs or printed ballistic tables in the world. If there is a pronounced lack of groundhogs where you are, simply find a windy place with some good distance and shoot at rocks, clay pigeons, plastic soda bottles full of water or even paper targets, and do it with a variety of firearms. Have a pal watch your hits through a spotting scope and try to evaluate each shot. After a few thousand rounds or so, you may finally start to get a handle on reading wind.

Smart phones. Have one? Love it? Of course you do! … Smart phones (or any "text capable" phone for that matter) have made life different. We're more informed. We're more well connected with our friends, co-workers, BFFs, etc. – our "professional" and "social" networks. We text. We call. We email. We surf. We skype. We google. … Sounds a lot like – "we came, we saw, we conquered."
Many would argue that smart phones have not only made life "different" – they've made it "better." I'm one of those people (well, mostly). Give up my phone? No way!!! While I don't have thousands of apps (nor do I play games on it), I use my phone weekly. … In fact, I not only use it weekly, I also use it daily, hourly, minutely (?).
My phone keeps me connected to my business and social networks around the globe. I text, email, surf, google, skype, take pictures, listen to podcasts, etc. In fact, if there were only one business tool I could keep, it would be my phone. If there were only one personal tool, one social tool, I could keep, it would be my phone. … It's small, capable, and "fun." I can download thousands of apps (that are continually updated). I can listen to music. I can stay "connected." In my family, everyone from the grandparents to the grandkids has smart phones and uses them for emailing, texting and skyping.
Can you hear the "but" coming????
Well, it's not really a "but" – it's more of an "and." … Use (and love) your phone AND be careful. That's it. Be careful.
A phone is like a knife. A knife that has been sharpened to a razor's edge. Maybe you keep your kitchen knives this way. Maybe they're only razor sharp when you first buy them. Either way, you've undoubtedly experienced a knife with a razor sharp edge.
I'll never forget the time my oldest son bought his first knife. He carefully selected his knife after months of saving. Of course I'd given him the "lectures" about being careful, shown him how to properly handle a knife, etc. Before we got out of the parking lot after purchasing his knife, he had a cut on his finger and blood on my car seat! … Knives like many tools can be amazingly beneficial AND dangerous.
Your phone is like a knife. Used properly, it adds great value. Used improperly, it can be dangerous. If you become a phone addict, you can damage relationships. Ever had someone schedule time with you but continually interrupt the conversation to answer a call or respond to a text. Even if they "ignored" the call, you still had to listen to the buzzing, vibrating, beeping. Even if they "ignored" the call, you had to listen to the beeping indicating they had a voicemail. Even if they "ignored" the call, you still lost your train of thought.
Don't be a phone addict. Use your phone properly. Know your audience. … Is it ok to text, call, and surf when you're with friends or casual work colleagues? Probably (though it depends). What about during a first "date"? What about during "church"? What about in class?
Some executives don't mind having phone addicts around them (but very few). While the executive might be a phone addict themself, my strong suggestion is to leave your phone (or turn it completely off; not even vibrate) if you're in a meeting with a senior executive (someone senior to you in the "food chain").
You may feel "naked" without your phone for an hour or two, but is it worth the risk? Is it worth offending the big boss? Your first date? The pastor? … Know your audience and use your phone appropriately. Don't be a phone addict. Sometimes the best place for a knife with a razor sharp edge is in its sheath.
What is your smart phone story? Are you using it appropriately or is it controlling you? Are you a "smart" smart phone user or are you a smart phone "addict?"
As always, the floor is open to your comments, suggestions, thoughts, and feedback.

Outcome of research in Mamallapuram Shores
There were some investigations and research made in the shores of Mamallapuram and also under water to bring out some news on the submerged six temples. This article will provide information on the Outcome of research in Mamallapuram Shores.
Outcome of research in Mamallapuram Shores
As we all know the corrosion has taken down 6 temples out of seven temples in Mamallapuram. In this context some research were taken place in Mahabalipuram to investigate more and more secrets about the history and secrets of Mahabalipuram. The history says that the Mamallapuram is an important port for communication from the Pallava kingdom with the others. With this sea port pallava kings had their trading done and maintained good contact with the nearby countries such as Sri Lanka, China, Bengal etc. The investigations also brought up some Roman coins found which proved that the trading and communication was also maintained with the Roman kings and Roman empire. As the outcome of the research in Mahabalipuram, many evidences were found including remaining of walls, broken sculptures fully covered with bio growth. Due to the bio growth further details could not be obtained from the carvings and engravings in the stone sculptures.
The investigations have also brought some interesting information about the Mamallapuram temples. As we see today there is only one temple remaining among the seven temples. The native people there when enquired told that they have seen the temple tops shining especially during the time of sunshine. The inner water investigations have found out many segments of sand deposit and rock deposits under the water. Under water visual survey was also carried out to find some remaining of the sculptures and findings. The dive was carried out in 25 different locations to find out many manmade sculptures. Some stones and sculptures were found with carvings and engraving in it. This also gives idea on which type of building material was used for the construction purpose. The temples including the existing shore temple was built with the granite stones.
The research results have also said that the samples that were received under the sea were not sufficient to predict the age of the remaining. However according to the literary history, it is said that the there were other six temples existed along with the existing shore temple. So probably the age of the submerged temple should also be similar to the age of the existing shore temple. The history also says that the name Mamallapuram was named after the Pallava King Mamallan. The exact origin of the temples and the age of temples are not known till date. But as a comparison with the human habitat and the history of the pallava kings, the rough calculation of the age of temple is around 1500 years BP. It can also be said that there existed a very strong trading done from the Mamallapuram sea port.
According to the extra information that received with the help of the Pallava Kingdom history, it is said that Mamallapuram was an active sea port for foreign communication in Pallava period till 12th century. Also the trading and communication had taken place since 2000 years BC. The construction work with granites and stones were stopped in the Harappa period. Later for residential and other things bricks and woods were used. In Mamallapuram, temples were constructed with the help of stones but the residential houses and other buildings were constructed with the help of bricks and wood items. There are some more investigations taking place in Mamallapuram to find out some more interesting things. As we all know the kings of Tamilnadu are also well versed in construction of underground passages from a temple to their kingdom and also from one temple to other temple for some business and security reasons. Narasimha I was the great Pallava king who was first to construct cave temples in granite stones.

Wells College women's basketball senior guard Ashida Cooper was selected as the North Eastern Athletic Conference Women's Basketball Student-Athlete of the Week for the week ending Feb. 19, 2017.
Cooper capped her Wells career with another productive week and hit a major milestone in leading the Express to two wins in three games. During Friday's victory over the College of Saint Elizabeth, Cooper became the third player in Wells College history to reach the 1,000 career points milestone. She achieved the feat in just two seasons of play.
Over the week, Cooper averaged 27.3 points per game. She finished the week with 82 points and 28 rebounds, shooting 50 percent from the field and 91.7 percent from the free-throw line. Cooper added 17 assists, 10 steals and four blocks to round out an outstanding final week of the regular season.
It is the first time that Cooper has earned NEAC Student-Athlete of the Week recognition in her career. She was a first-team all-conference selection as a junior in the 2015-16 season.

The skies threatened to open late Saturday afternoon but the deluge never came as just a brief shower and cooling winds descended on the 2011 Four Corners Folk Festival in Pagosa Springs. But whatever relief from the heat we experienced quickly dissapated as Los Lobos took the stage as Saturday's headline act. The entire crowd was on their feet under the big tent and a huge crowd danced feverishly on either side of the tent. I had to set my tripod atop several chairs just to get a vantage point above the crowd. Below is the video I shot of Los Lobos' encore songs that followed a raucous crowd ovation. It's over 15 minutes long because I couldn't figure out a place to stop recording without missing some of the next song they performed. "La Bamba is at minute 5:36.
I recommend hitting play and then pausing the playback until the stream is complete for best playback.

North Star Lake has been just so beautiful this year. This photo was taken by one of our guests. The rainbow both starts and ends on North Star Lake in such a way that it framed our beach area. Opportunities for photos like these are a truly unique experience that only Mother Nature can provide. We rely on our guests for these types of photos since our guests are out enjoying the lake "on the lake" more then we do, although we certainly enjoy it from shore.
Tim and I take the time to get out on the lake a little more in the fall where we hear a great number of fishing stories from our Cedar Point Resort guests. I believe that many of them are true, but I suspect that perhaps some of them may be "fish stories!" Of course who are we to judge?
We did have one of our guests out fishing and caught a small sunny. As they were reeling it in a muskie grabbed it in its mouth. It wouldn't let go and they did have to fight it for a while. I don't know if they really wanted to get it in the net, but when they finally got it to the boat to try to net it (or just bring it in, I'm not sure) the muskie took one look at them, spit out the small sunny and swam off. We may be in our 16th year, but honestly I do really enjoy hear these stories because of the excitement in our guests' voices….. young and old. It would have been nice to have a photo of that.
Fish photos, people photos, rainbow photos, nature photos, beach photos, pool photos….. they are all interesting and many of them bring back fond memories for both us and our guests.
Enjoy your rainbow photo on North Star Lake.

Is Diesel a Dirty Word?
Two weeks ago, this decision would have been easy. The two SUVs, while similar in the amount of storage, architecture, and engines, are miles apart. I felt that my opinion was the right one. Then VW imploded. VW diesels weren't the uber-environmental machines the company promised. This revelation meant I had to reevaluate my original decision. And even now, that reevaluation isn't as cut and dry as some would assume.
Last month, I drove two diesel SUVs. A Volkswagen Touareg, and a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I took both on separate road trips, and covered about 600-700 miles in each. Both returned phenomenal fuel economy, but as of two weeks ago, I was leaning towards the Touareg. But now, Volkswagen has been caught lying to their customers, and the company is not only facing an $18 billion dollar fine from the EPA, but also a criminal investigation from the Department of Justice. That means I have to side with the Jeep right? Well, not so fast.
Has Volkswagen Dealt a Fatal Blow to Diesels In the U.S.? It's hard to separate the current situation Volkswagen is dealing with right now, and the Touareg itself. It doesn't make my job any easier either. However, it's now in the public consciousness, and this elephant in the room needs to be taken into account. Two weeks ago, given the choice of the two, I'd have taken the Volkswagen. The seats are more comfortable, I was able to eke out better fuel economy, and it has a serious amount of pickup. The Jeep felt less refined, and when taken off-roading, the air-suspension just wasn't up to the task. All of which gave the Volkswagen a clear advantage. The two SUVs were similarly equipped, with all the bells and whistles you'd want in a full size family oriented SUV. They were even priced within a thousand dollars of each other. The choice was clear and simple. It's not anymore.
Volkswagen diesels were seen as a way forward, and a bridge that was able to link the vast difference between American drivers and European drivers. Volkswagen was bringing over a diesel engine that Americans could finally get behind, and that showed with over 25 percent of Volkswagen's total sales. It was largely due to Volkswagen's TDI push that Jeep, Land Rover, Chevy, and other manufacturers finally brought their respective diesels to the American market. That's why this entire situation is such a slap in the face to the company's loyal, and outspoken customers. Volkswagen violated that trust, and is now just beginning to realize what the price of that violation is going to cost.
America vs. Germany: This Time, Not In the Skies Over Europe That still doesn't answer the question posed. Which SUV is the right choice? With the EPA and European agencies expanding their investigation beyond that of the four-cylinder diesel engine, the diesel V6 in the Touareg is now under the microscope and no one knows how that is going to turn out. Is Volkswagen still lying to the public, or was the four-cylinder the only diesel the company employed its emissions workaround? We just don't know yet, and until those domino's fall, it's my opinion that the Volkswagen is the better product. As mentioned above, I took both on long road trips, during which, I was still healing from my motorcycle accident. My shoulder, broken from impacting a solid wall of granite, was painful to say the least. Keeping that in mind, the Volkswagen's seats and driving position were sublime. The leather was soft and creamy, and the ride was Bentley-esque. The Jeep didn't offer the same comfort. The seats, while wider and roomier, had a harder backing that hit me directly where my shoulder was broken. It didn't matter where I moved, or how I sat, the seats hit a pressure point which made the trip agonizing.
Where the two again differed was in terms of the driving dynamics. The Jeep Grand Cherokee's engine and drivetrain felt rather old-school diesel. It wasn't the refined unit that Volkswagen had given the Touareg. The gear changes feel clunky, and the engine isn't as smooth. Even with the Jeep's higher torque and horsepower rating, because of the Touareg's smoothness, the Volkswagen felt faster. I come to the same conclusion as I had before the fiasco; the Volkswagen is the better SUV.
Which Do You Buy? Does the scandal matter, though? That truly is the question. While the Touareg is the better SUV in almost every quantifiable way, it doesn't negate the fact that the company has been lying about its product, or the fact that those diesels were doing harm to the environment. The fact that Volkswagen Group canned the R&D heads of Porsche and Audi is very telling. The 3.0-liter diesel V6 found in the Porsche Cayenne Diesel and multiple Audi products is closely related to the engine under the hood of this Touareg. In all likelihood, the V6 will share the same fate as the I4 TDI. Maybe just buy a gas-powered Touareg and call it a day. Photo Credit: Jonathon Klein

The 2017 VW Touareg is a mid-size SUV that provides full-size benefits. It is expected to be a lot better than its previous model. The speed, power, safety and comfort have all been well taken care of in this model. It comes in three trims; sports, executive, and Wolfsburg.
2017 VW Touareg – Stylish Exterior Design:
First, let's talk about the exterior. The front chrome grille is one that would leave a sharp impression. It is a huge grill present in between headlights that add to the sharp look impression. The taillights are, again, adding to the same look. The overall look of the car is aggressive and bold. It is a four-door car. The 2017 VW Touareg is very sporty looking. There is a wide color option for the buyers to choose from. The liftgate is easy to open. You do not need to use your hands, which might be holding your luggage or other stuff, and can open the lift gate automatically. The fantastic audio system is also a part of this luxury SUV.
2017 VW Touareg – Luxurious Interior:
It is a five-passenger car, with no third-row seats. The interior is two toned: Black and Gray. The seats are leather material. The Executive trim of the car comes with a beige interior. Other trims come in the black interior too. The seats have a ventilation system installed as well as a heating system to provide the perfect temperature for the passengers. The ventilation system is only for the front seats, but the heating system is available for all passenger seats as well. Huge cargo space is provided for carrying all your essentials with you, easily. 12.7 square feet panoramic sunroof is also a part of the car.
The steering wheel is also heated, perfect for chilly winters. There is a dual climate control technology in this 2017 VW Touareg. You can turn on heating as well as air-conditioning at the same time to adjust the perfect temperature throughout the car and make all passengers satisfied. The 8-inch touchscreen allows the driver to control the navigation system.
2017 VW Touareg – Technology and Safety:
The display screen inside of the 2017 VW Touareg is much similar to how a smartphone functions. The high-quality display screen will show maps for directions, temperatures, and also other useful information about the car. The button at the bottom middle if the screen will help get back to the home page, just like it works on a smartphone. The 15-inch screen size is not fixed; it can be changed according to the liking of the driver with the high software technology. The screen comes in a 'tiled' form. The tiles also can be moved around to adjust the screen according to whatever the user likes, just like adjusting pixels.
Different users can also vary the screen software itself. But, don't worry. You won't have to adjust the settings every time. Just like a computer, also the screen will allow different users to save their settings under their username which can be chosen from the home screen every time. The screen itself is also designed in a way that it faces towards the drivers and minimizes reflections for maximum ease of the driver.
As for safety, there are multiple airbags provided throughout the car. These include the front airbags, curtain airbags, head rear side airbag and front side head airbag. Child safety lock option is also installed in the back seats of the car. Safety belts are available for all passengers. There is no night vision feature. But, strong fog lights do help in driving in bad weathers. Parking sensors are an added feature. These sensors warn the driver if the car is not being parked in the detected parking space.
Other than that, these sensors also warn in case of risk of colliding with another object or vehicle. The display mentions the tire pressure, preventing any undesired accidents. Emergency braking system exerts automatic brakes when the car is about to collide, and the driver is not responding to the warnings. Similarly, lane shift assistance is also provided. With this, un-signaled lane shifting is prevented by the beeping of warning alarm.
Comfort is ensured with adjustable seats. The headspace and spacious seating provide a relaxing environment. Cup holders and charging ports are added features of the user-friendly nature of the car. The car is said to be up against competition with the Audi Q7. It is the third model in the generation of these car models. However, it is considered much lighter than the previous models, although it is the highest degree of technology.
2017 VW Touareg – Drivetrain Configuration:
The car engine is a 3.6-liter V6. It is an all-wheel drive car, adding to the athletic nature. It is a diesel engine. This engine has the capacity of producing a very impressive 280 hp. It also comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The fuel consumption is considered economic for the power of the car. As for city drive, the mileage is 19 mpg, and for highway, it is 23 mpg. The overall average is around 19 mpg. There is expected to be a gasoline engine version too. It will be a 3.0-liter engine which will be able to produce 333 hp. This too will come with an eight-speed auto transmission feature. The fuel average for this will be 35 mpg. The time taken by the diesel engine to reach 60 mph speed from rest is tested to be 6.5 seconds. It is 6 seconds for the gasoline engine.
2017 VW Touareg – Price and Expected Release Date:
The luxury 2017 VW Touareg is estimated at a price of $43,600. It is expected to be sold in European countries. Whether or not it will reach the US market is not yet confirmed. It will be released towards the end of 2016. Volkswagen has promised a sporty car with a high-class comfort, powerful engine while still being fuel efficient. Considering all the updated styling and technology, we can say that the company has fulfilled the promise.

The layout has been carefully laid out with open & systemic placement of tables with limited seating, which also means that a reservation here is always mandatory as the restaurant is usually filled up even on normal weekday lunches.
Moving on, the food served here is Modern Indian cuisine in terms of innovative presentation, ingredients used, flavors retained and the authenticity of original dish maintained. Honestly after all the hype and lots of recommendations, I had done my homework before going here and was really excited to try the dishes my friends had been sharing since their visits. As I was joined with one more friend, we decided to try chef's veg and non-veg both tasting menus for the fact that various dishes were to be served in them. Although all the dishes served amazing but I'll mention my favorite ones in this review –
Presented in the form of a bird's nest, the ceramic egg shaped small bowls were placed inside a nest made with wooden sticks. The eggs were then filled with cold coconut water and mango pulp to complete their presentation. To be gulped down in a single go, this amuse bouche was a perfect start to our meal and proved great in stimulating the appetite.
- Maddur Vada with Rasam
- Deconstruction of Samosa
- Mango Pirada & Cheese Poe
- Charcoal Bhajia
- Nadru Crisp on Mooli Akhrot ki Chutney
- Farmer's Staple
- Chuski
- Seasonal Saag with Gatte
- Curry Bread
- Choorma with Crispy Okra
- Dal Fry with Pakoras
- Jalebi Caviar
- Ashen Kulfi
- Chocolate Mousse
Finally I would very convincingly rate this place a perfect rating of 5/5 for the amazing dishes with great flavors & presentation, maintaining dish authenticity, great staff service, beautiful ambience and astonishing overall experience.

Project information
Big Screen Therapy for Sick Children
By distracting them from their painful situations, our aim is to enrich the often significantly restricted quality of life of children who are in hospital by providing free of charge screenings of current movie releases in an on-site cinema with access for beds and wheelchairs.
January 2015 - December 2015
Charity information: MediCinema
There are few escapes from the concerns and isolation felt by hospital patients during long stays or for those with long-term disabilities. For some, the distraction of TV and films is available on small bedside screens, but at an additional fee. Furthermore, children often have exaggerated feelings of stress, anxiety and boredom and more restless energy than adult patients – for them, the real or perceived restrictions imposed by the hospital ward on top of their symptoms can be overwhelming.
The change in environment, the experience of being absorbed in the film and the cinema's atmosphere are beneficial to patients alienated from everyday activities whilst in the hospital. A 2005 evaluation found MediCinema attendees forget their medical worries for a time, reducing their stress, discomfort and pain. This is especially true for children. Callum, a young Glasgow patient, told us: "I am back in again, this is the 17th time this year. At least I have MediCinema to look forward to."
Aim 1
To send a minimum of 8400 children to attend MediCinema screenings at our four locations.
Activities» We will provide at least 7 child-friendly screenings a week for 40 weeks in 2015 with an average of 30 children at each screening.
What success will look like
Success will be an average of 30 children attending each MediCinema screening (their health and well-being permitting).
Aim 2
To provide equal access to all patients, including those in beds and wheelchairs.
Activities» Each MediCinema is designed to also accommodate beds or wheelchairs and 2 nurses are on duty throughout each performance to respond to any emergency.
What success will look like
Success will be ensuring that patients are not restricted by their beds or wheelchairs to attend a MediCinema screening.
Many of these children receive treatment regularly, rarely having the opportunity to go to the cinema with their families. Screenings at MediCinema can give good memories and quality of life experiences as the children do what so many of us take for granted – to be safely carried away by the magic of the big screen – escaping from the stress of their conditions. Our screenings are monitored, with the audience tracked on an ongoing basis to compile statistical information on those in attendance.
The only risk is in not raising sufficient funds over the course of the year to maintain our scheduled screenings at each location. Whilst we receive some of our funding through gifts-in-kind (i.e. film rental, location rental and utilities/bills) we look to voluntary donations to cover our remaining costs. We will fund-raise from a variety of sources to ensure that we can continue providing 7 children's screenings at our four locations.
We can provide regular updates (reports or through our website) detailing ongoing and forthcoming activities as well as any necessary changes that have been made to the screening schedule. Reports on individual patients in attendance will not be available under data-protection rules.
Budget - Project Cost: £20,160Loading graph....
Amount Heading Description £2,880 London MediCinema (1 screening/week x 40 weeks) x 30 children @£2.40 ea £5,760 Glasgow MediCinema (2 screenings/week x 40 weeks) x 30 children @£2.40 ea £2,880 Newcastle MediCinema (1 screening/week x 40 weeks) x 30 children @£2.40 ea £8,640 Newport MediCinema (3 screenings/week x 40 weeks) x 30 children @£2.40 ea
MediCinema will be providing children's screenings in 4 locations in 2015 – London's Evelina/St. Thomas' Hospital , Glasgow's Yorkhill Hospital , Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary and Newport's Serennu Children's Centre . The hospitals are in large cities with patients from varied socio-economic backgrounds. The Serennu Children's Centre serves a number of high deprivation areas in Wales, primarily catering for health care needs of disabled children in these areas.
Children who are patients and their families (and other visitors) will be able to attend the regularly scheduled screenings in the above listed hospitals. In addition to an escape from their symptoms for the patient, the screenings provide an opportunity for family and friends to participate in activities together or a necessary respite for family members when they are required to spend long periods of time at their child's bedside.
Why Us?
Why Us?
MediCinema is the only charity in the world that provides a service of this kind. We are an independent charity that neither seeks nor receives NHS funding for our state-of-the-art cinemas with surround sound, tiered seating and big screens tailored to each location. We provide our screenings free to patients, their families and carers – with equal access for all patients including those in beds and wheelchairs.

MediCinema Managers
The Manager is integral to ensuring the day-to-day operation of the MediCinema happens smoothly, promoting screenings, managing volunteers and nurses.

We all speak English. Don't we? It seems so natural, to expect everyone to know how to speak English. How to type. All the small activities that make our daily life what it is.
But no one seems to have told the students of the Dommasandra Urdu Government School. Every Tuesday, these children travel from their school and come to Inventure to learn things that are deemed common knowledge.The students are determined to learn, and that's what counts. And they are not alone. The students of 10 ICSE are helping them to widen the scope of our ever growing world. Slowly and painstakingly they type the English letters, letters that are foreign to them. But they don't give up. They want to learn the letters and computer skills which are so vital in the present world.
Over the weeks, it's not just the vocabulary and typing skills that have developed, but friendships as well by sitting together and practicing typing. They have worked hard and so have 10 ICSE. Starting from an almost nonexistent knowledge of computers to learning a new language, how to type, how to navigate through Microsoft Word, how to download pictures, change fonts- these kids have done it all. And to be truthful, they have taught us several things as well.

2001-2006: Third generation GPGPU stream processor:
GenTera MT3 - Imagine 3
1996 - 2000 Second generation GPGPU stream processor: Arcobel Graphics / GenTera Imagine 2
1987-1990 DTN: Dataflow processor
The company DTN was a management buy out from Philips and I had the
responsibility for design of the "fifth generation" dataflow computer.
The company was partly funded by governments grants.
Fifth generation computers
were a very hot item these days.
There was for the first time a notion that computers would become
large massively parallel processing engines.
Many often
radically different architectures were considered to harness
all the processing
power which would become available.
The general expectation was that progress would come from applying
programming languages, advanced compilers, new computer architectures
together with inter connection systems.

The DTN Dataflow Computer is a graphics

be the first commercially available dataflow machine. In this article
our main focus is on its RC compiler. Although dataflow machines are
usually programmed in a declarative language, RC is imperative: it is a

These books are from a special limited edition with a numbered print run of only 300 hardcover copies.
Title: Senlin Ascends
Author: Josiah Bancroft
Weight: 787g
Signed special limited edition HARDCOVER
Sorry, sold out
(Details shown apply to the default selection)
While honeymooning in the Tower of Babel, Thomas Senlin loses his wife, Marya.
The Tower of Babel is the greatest marvel of the Silk Age. Immense as a mountain, the ancient Tower holds unnumbered ringdoms, warring and peaceful, stacked one on the other like the layers of a cake. It is a world of geniuses and tyrants, of airships and steam engines, of unusual animals and mysterious machines.
Thomas Senlin, the mild-mannered headmaster of a small village school, is drawn to the Tower by scientific curiosity and the grandiose promises of a guidebook. The luxurious Baths of the Tower seem an ideal destination for a honeymoon, but soon after arriving, Senlin loses Marya in the crowd.
Senlin's search for Marya carries him through madhouses, ballrooms, and burlesque theaters. He must survive betrayal, assassination, and the long guns of a flying fortress. But if he hopes to ever find his wife, Thomas Senlin must do more than survive. This quiet man of letters must become a man of action.
An extraordinary debut that is well worthy of the hype. A beautifully written, highly engaging page-turning masterpiece.
It's rare to find a modern book that feels like a timeless classic. I'm wildly in love with this book.
What is remarkable about this novel, quite apart from its rich, allusive prose, is Bancroft's portrayal of Senlin, a good man in a desperate situation, and the way he changes in response to his experiences in his ascent.
Orbit published this title straight to trade paperback on 16 Jan 2018. However, the reviews were so good that an independent online bookseller commissioned a hardcover edition. The resulting 300 numbered books are a true limited edition and the only hardcover copies available in the UK.
The books have an edition authentication page, directly before the title page, which confirms the book's handwritten number. Besides the book's title, the name of the publisher and the month / year of publication, this page also has the following text printed on it: 'This special edition hardcover of Senlin Ascends by Josiah Bancroft, signed by the author, is limited to 300 copies of which this is number xxx / 300'.
