Pampachica, The Watering Hole
A guest post by Barry Brett
One of a series of short humorous stories of life in Iquitos.
Each article is a portrayal of actual events, written from the perspective of a Californian living in the Jungle City of Iquitos, Peru.
It was a hot, four degrees off the equator! Summertime in Iquitos, Peru. Friends suggested we visit the local watering hole. We could have gone to the "Enchanted Lagoon" or "Quistacocha". They were the preferred resorts. Pampachica, on the far-side of the Nanay River was difficult to access. It was frequented by rowdy youths looking for fun and a chance to bathe on a hot summers day. It was the ONLY place to be!
As we approached the beachhead, I could see a flotilla of small craft ferrying eager beachgoers to the far side. It resembled the "Spanish Armada!" The waters reflected and amplified the music of the discotheques on the far side. As we crossed the river I estimated more than three thousand beach-lovers had already crossed. It was a wild party. The beach had been under-water for eight months. At last, Summer had arrived. The River Amazon and its' tributaries had fallen some forty feet revealing a sandy beach, perfect for a day-out with the family or friends.
One of dozens of small boats, our overloaded craft pulled into the shore. There was an overwhelming sense of excitement as everybody rushed-off the boat onto the sand. People pushed and shoved as they tried to balance themselves on the gang-plank. It was like the D-day landings at Normandy!
Along the shoreline were hundreds of families bathing with their children. Numerous makeshift stands sold sodas and traditional foods. BBQs smoked-up the horizon. There were soccer fields and softball nets where just a few weeks earlier there had been nothing but water!
The main attraction for most the youths were the discotheques that livened-up the shoreline. Both on the shore and in the discotheques there was an overwhelmingly large number of guys and few gals. It didn't take long to find-out that many young girls are just not permitted to go out dancing. Why? It's the jungle and jungle boys are looking for something! In an impoverished city where few kids can afford protection, that something quickly results in someone! Someone who needs to be fed in a society where undernourishment is the norm. Families encourage the females to stay at home. It seemed strange at first. Culture shock. So many guys dancing with other boys, but no-body seemed to care. The girls didn't care either. Groups of boys would dance with each other around beer bottles strategically placed on the floor. It was all about dancing, drinking and having a good time.
I thought back eons, to my lusty teenage years in London, England. There were rock and roll dances where all the girls sat on one side of the dance hall and all the guys on the other. Once in a while a guy would pluck-up enough courage to cross the floor and ask a girl for a dance. On an ego-trip, inevitably she would turn-him-down! Why me? Was it my spotty face or maybe if I had just combed my hair a little more to the left! To think we could have just ignored the girls and danced with each other. That would have torn them to shreds! What on earth were we afraid of. Girls danced with girls, but boys NEVER danced with boys. We were brainwashed. We still are.
There were three shore-side discotheques blasting-out "Musica Ambiente", the latest dance craze. They were packed solid with young men and women dancing, singing and drinking. All the money was made on the booze. It was hot and humid and the dances peeked in a frenzy of excitement. Bodies were dripping with sweat but the dancing never ceased. There was no charge for entry. People in California would pay top-dollar for a sauna like this I thought. "Turn the thermostat up babe, I need to lose another ten pounds"
There were empty beer bottles and beer cases all over the dance floor. People danced around them, worshiping the Goddess of empty bottles in the vain hope that somehow, she would magically fill-up again! There was status at stake. Two beer-cases stacked on top of each other indicated real partiers with cash. Dancing around a lone beer bottle was not good for one's image! Frowned-upon. Good looking chicks, in heavy demand, would pass-on-by.
The most popular drink was "Climax". Sold in two-liter bottles, it was an alcoholic carbonated soda. The more affluent dancers would mix it with beer to give it an extra "Kick!" No drinking age limit was enforced. How could it be? Most the kids had no I.D. and no chance of ever getting one. Why? Because they were born in odd-ball villages, two or three days down-river from the nearest town. They never had a birth certificate to begin with and will never be able to get one! If there were an age limit, who would enforce it? Three or four thousand beach-goers at Pampachica, and not even one cop!
My friends wanted to dance. Dripping with perspiration and gyrating to "Daddy Yankee" and "Porn Lust" I lost my step and committed the cardinal crime. There it was, all spilled-out across the dance-floor. Like blood from a sacrificial cow. Someone's beer! I'd kicked-over the Goddess! For a moment I froze as the beer bottle-worshiper approached, his "Terminator Body" scanning the horizon looking for the "Spiller!" I felt his red laser-beam lock-onto-target. Lost for words, I struggled to understand his Spanish. No time to pull-out my "Easy Spanish Phrase Book" I thought. What good would it do anyway. I could read the expression on his face in "English!" Two simple words; "Pay-back!" A lucky-break. Just as he was about to stab me with those liquid-metal stabbing devices, his friends pulled him away from the brink! I ran to the Beach looking for Arnold. He could save me! No such luck, he was in Sacramento, California, hiding from taxpayers in the Governor's Mansion! It was time to leave!
It was getting dark. Crossing to the far-shore in a small craft, I noticed that nobody was sober, including the Captain and crew. Passengers were singing and drinking. Desperately trying to illuminate the surrounding waters, the Captain held a small flashlight. Where was his compass? I guess he traded-it-in for a bottle of rum! We seemed to go round in circles that quickly became a spiral. No-one cared! A five-minute cruise became a forty minute circum-navigation of the globe. When we finally docked we were miles downstream and nowhere near the beachhead. "So this is how Columbus discovered America!"
A motokaro dropped us off in the Plaza de Armas, smack in the center of Iquitos. I walked past the bars on the Amazon Boulevard. Now they all looked so civilized and boring. A friend hailed me over to his table. "Hi Barry, I hear you went to Pampachica" I looked at the neatly-stacked empty beer bottles as the soothing music of "Love Ballad" wafted in the background. But "Love Ballad" didn't cut it anymore. I yearned to return to the watering hole. To the excitement and ambiance of "Pampachica". The flashing lights and screams of hysteria, the sheer electricity generated by hundreds of bodies pulsating to the rhythm of "Porn Lust" and "Daddy Yankee". "Barry, let's kick-back, relax, have a quiet beer and enjoy the evening!!" – No Way.

Ok... I know it is 2015 but in my little blog world it is right after Christmas and there is no way I have gotten this far behind!!
Gotta be honest. I have totally unplugged this Christmas vacation and have tried to soak it all in. Nicklas is at such a fun age and this has been the best Christmas ever!
Two nights before Christmas we celebrated with Jamie's side of the family.
As soon as we arrived Nicklas got to open a present! I helped my MIL cook. She made Japanese so I got to help make the veggies while she made the rice and chicken.
After we all enjoyed the wonder meal it was time for everyone to open gifts. Nicklas of course enjoyed opening the gifts and playing with the wrapping paper. He also enjoyed playing with empty boxes. After opening one he would say 'woah' and then quickly move on the the next gift!
We decided early on that we would not be purchasing big gifts for each other. But since everyone was buying for Nicklas we got everyone a little gag gift. Kevin got hot dogs!
Elizabeth got pickles!
Nicklas still opening his gifts. He sure is blessed!
When we got home we unpacked the car and decided to wait until the next morning to play with all our gifts. Nicklas loves his offroading Lightning Mcqueen track that Uncle Kevin and Kaylin got him!
And I LOVE my ballet flats that my MIL got me!!
Brooklyn came over Christmas Eve morning to check out what Nicklas got the night before!
Christmas Eve we spent the evening with my family. We got to open all of our gifts, except the ones Santa was bringing that night! Mom made some yummy red beans and rice so we ate and then started opening gifts!
Nicklas knew exactly what to do!!
We had to get home early so that Santa would stop by!! Nicklas was a very good boy so Santa hooked him up!!!
He wasn't sure what to think!!!!
We had some extra time before we had to be back at my parents house so we colored and played with some of our new toys!!
And while we were playing with our new toys... this happened!!!! Yep... our new toy got stuck in his hair... it came out pretty easy but this mom did freak out at first!!!!
I had to model my new HUNTER boots that my mom and dad got me for Christmas!! LOVE!!!
We couldn't believe that Santa left Nicklas a new tricycle at my parents house!!! He also left us all FRONT ROW SEATS to the circus that is coming to town in January!!
After opening gifts and eating some yummy Lasagna that my dad made, we decided to go outside and play on Jake. It was in the 60's on Christmas day so we had to enjoy the weather!
Sweet Christmas cousins!
I had to get in on the fun!!
When we got home we took a good nap then played with our new toys!! We love out easel that Nannan and Pupol got us!
And our golf set that mom and dad got for us!
We took a break from playing to watch Jurrasic Park!
While watching Jurassic Park he started playing with my hair!!!
We finally got our Little People village put together. We have the race track, fire station, and police station. Its awesome!
This has honestly been such a fun Christmas and I am so sad to see it end... but on to New Years!

Southwick changed forever when the very first public train steamed through on its way to Shoreham from Brighton.
It was May 12, 1840, and before long, the lines would be extended to London, along the coast to Chichester, and east to Lewes, Eastbourne and Hastings.
Eventually the London Brighton and South Coast Railway would serve all the towns and many of the villages in Sussex.
People soon began to travel a lot, commuting became the norm and holidays on the coast boomed.
Industry and agriculture benefited, too, as it became easier to transport goods and materials.
On Monday, March 12, well-known local historian Bill Gage will be retelling aspects of this rich history to the Southwick Society in his illustrated talk, Steaming Through Sussex.
Using rarely seen photographs, many from the 1890s, Bill will use the railway to explore our social history.
Bill emphasises that this will not be a dry catalogue of locomotive types and dates.
He will be telling stories such as the train that fell into a 30ft deep gully, the runaway train from Petworth and the day Bognor station blew down and was consumed by fire.
And find out what Queen Victoria's funeral train was doing racing along the south coast.
The talk will start at 7.30pm in Southwick Community Centre, Southwick Street, Southwick, and is open to all. Admission is £2 for members and £4 for non-members.
The Southwick Society runs Manor Cottage Heritage Centre and the talk is part of the Heritage Talks programme.

Nepalese Maoists call for indefinite General Strike
The calling of a general strike in Nepal is an important turning point in the situation. The Maoist leaders are using the classical method of the organised working class. It has the potential to go well beyond the drafting of a new constitution. The potential is there for the working class, backed by the peasants, to come to power.

|Morteus, Sorcerer of Nurgle
I wanted this model to look like a former librarian and not simply a marine who became a sorcerer after pledging to chaos. To fit in with my Emerald Fists, I also didn't want an overly stark contrast which would have happened if I'd gone with the typical dark blue. To combat this I base coated with a mix of space wolf grey and adeptus battle grey. He was then painted with space wolf grey, washed in black and dry brushed with space wolf grey and skull white. Standing with the rest of the army he looks like he belongs yet stands out. This model is really cool and the amount of little details is nice. I'm always happy to paint forge world models and this was no exception. From the armour damage and gaping wounds to all of the little nurglings following him around and nestled in his armour, there are a lot of little features to look at. I'm glad I picked this model up as the forge world paint job is pretty brutal on their website and almost turned me away. I was a bit suprised actually as their gallery is usually top notch.

There would likely arise a time when creating a Google map and embedding it in a blog post would be advantages, so how do we proceed to create and embed a map?
First thing is sign into a Google account then go to Google map. At the bottom left corner there will be a small icon that looks like a gear. Click on the gear icon and click MY PLACES. See screenshot below:
At the top left in the new window you should see a CREATE MAP button but I would suggest you do not click on that. Instead, slightly below the button there would be a OR CREATE WITH CLASSIC MY MAP. Click on that link. (see screenshot below):
Next, using the search box, search for the location of the place you want to create a map for.
When you have found it after clicking on CREATE WITH CLASSIC MY MAP, at the top left corner, click on that blue place marker (Add a place marker, see screenshot below)
Click on that blue place marker then move to the location you want to mark and drop it there. Type in the map title and description in the relevant box then click SAVE and DONE.
At the top right, you should see an icon that look like part of a chain link. Click on that and you get a popup with 2 boxes but only the SHORT URL is not grayed out and is available to copy. Copy that link, open a different browser, paste that short url you had copied and this time at the top you would see 2 similar both but this time both boxes are not grayed out and both available to copy. Copy that code in the "Paste HTML to embed in website" and this will be the embed code you can use to paste into a post editor in the Edit HTML mode.

Good news, grinners. Your medical benefit plan may help you with a portion of the cost. Using your dental insurance or HSA/FSA, you may be able to pay even less for the treatment that's already 60% less than braces.
Yes. Many dental insurance plans reimburse for invisible aligners. While we don't accept direct payment from insurance companies, we can definitely help you get the forms you need to get reimbursed directly from your insurance company after purchasing your aligners. Check with your insurance provider to see if your dental plan provides orthodontic benefits. Then contact our SmileExperts at 800-688-0450 to process your order.
Visit our Insurance page for more info about coverage and maximizing your benefits.
You sure can. If your insurance policy offers a pre-tax health savings plan, like a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you're in luck: many HSA/FSA plans cover invisible aligners.
With our SmilePay™ or Single Pay payment options, simply process your HSA/FSA debit card (Visa, Mastercard or Discover) like any other credit card to purchase your aligners. If you have an HSA/FSA account without a debit card, give our SmileExperts a call at 800-688-0450, and they can help you process it.
Just make sure you pay attention to the time constraints that apply to your HSA/FSA; some accrued funds don't roll over from year to year. If that's the case for you, you may need to do some spending before the end of December to avoid losing your hard-earned balance. Seems like invisible aligners could help with that. 😉
Yep, you can use that, too. CareCredit is a healthcare credit card that can be used for health and wellness expenses. It's a great way to pay for the costs of many treatments with easy monthly payments. With CareCredit, you purchase your aligners up front with the healthcare credit card, then make easy monthly payments to CareCredit to take care of the balance. You've got a variety of plans to choose from, including 6 or 12 months interest-free. If you'd like to pay for your aligners with CareCredit, or if you have questions, our SmileExperts can help. Give 'em a ring at 800-688-0450.
Wherever you are and whatever your financial situation, we're here to help. You want a smile you love, and we want to help you get it. Contact us by phone, email, or social media, and we'll help you identify the payment plan that's best for you.

Potassium Sorbate (1kg)
Potassium Sorbate is a naturally occurring potassium salt that is used extensively in food preservation.
Potassium Sorbate is a naturally occurring potassium salt that is used extensively in food preservation.
When potassium sorbate is dissolved in acidic water (pH below 4.2, ideally in the pH 3.X range), it ionizes to form sorbic acid, which is effective against numerous micro-organisms such as molds, yeasts and bacteria.
Potassium sorbate produces sorbic acid when added to wine. It serves two purposes. When active fermentation has ceased and the wine is racked for the final time after clearing, potassium sorbate will render any surviving yeast incapable of multiplying. Yeast living at that moment can continue fermenting any residual sugar into CO2 and alcohol, but when they die no new yeast will be present to cause future fermentation.
When a wine is sweetened before bottling, potassium sorbate is used to prevent refermentation when used in conjunction with sodium metabisulfite. It is primarily used with sweet wines, sparkling wines, and some hard ciders but may be added to table wines which exhibit difficulty in maintaining clarity after fining.
It is widely used in preserving margarine, yogurt, pie fillings, icings, baking mixes, cheeses, icings, salted fish, fruit products and other foods that come in packages.
Potassium sorbate has been cleared for use and approved as a food preservative (E202) . You can easily make your own potassium sorbate preservative to use at home.
STEP 1: Pour 3 parts (per volume) of water into a clean bowl. Measure 1 part of potassium sorbate and add it to the water
STEP 2: Stir the mixture for about 10 minutes or until the potassium sorbate has been dissolved. Transfer the mixture into a clean container or jar and store it at room temperature. You now have 25 percent (by volume) potassium sorbate solution, which you can use to preserve your foods. You may store this 25% solution for later use.
STEP 3: Determine the required/recommended Potassium Sorbate preservative concentration for a particular product:
|Product to preserve
|% Potassium Sorbate (undiluted)
ml of 25% Potassium Sorbate solution per liter/kg of product to preserve
Resulting overall grams of Pot.Sorb. per liter/kg of product

Joe Rainer has been a qualified (mountain) ski instructor and a member of the Sesto Ski School for over 20 years now. He is both keen and sensitive, and will happily show you how to turn on your skis or spend the day with you on the Cortina, Plan de Corones or Sella Ronda circuits. He represents our affiliation with the Sesto Ski School and takes well-organised group courses on the slope opposite the Rainer Hotel.
Christian Schwienbacher, the owner's step-son, is instead a qualified Nordic-ski instructor. He has a passion for cross-country skiing which appears to be in the genes, as his brothers are veteran members of the Italian national team who have gone on to take part in the Winter Olympics, and are considered to be among the best cross-country skiers in South Tyrol.
Hotel ski instructor enquiry form
The group courses are held Monday to Friday between 10.00 and 12.30. On request, children in the advanced group can also take part in the afternoon ski course which is held twice a week between 14.00 and 16.00. This course involves various instructors of the Sesto Ski School. Young children can take their first steps in the snow with the "magic carpet" on the field in front of the hotel, while children who are already confident on skis can set off from the hotel to the Dolomiti di Sesto skiing area.
Children arrive already fully prepared and equipped (with gloves, ski boots, skis, ski-pass if necessary, etc.) straight at the slope in front of the hotel where they are greeted by their instructors who will later take them back. At 11.00, the Rainer course for beginners takes a "warming break" at the hotel bar (snack and drink included).
Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 16.00 in the hall of the hotel
every day at reception, between 19.00 and 22.00
every day between 09.00 and 19.00 at the ski room of the School, Monte Elmo cable-car
Go to the pricelist of the Sesto Ski School
Between Monday and Friday you can sign your children up for lunch with our carers (€ 10 drinks included). Your children can then continue to play in the "World of Raini" until 18.00, also with the supervision of our carers. The "World of Raini" schedule includes all kinds of games and activities. These are also held outdoors in the afternoon, weather permitting. This means that, for 5 days a week, we can arrange all-day care for your children so you can ski with complete peace of mind.
NEW this 2014/2015 winter season - afternoon skiing: on Tuesdays and Thursdays your children can take part in an afternoon course between 14.00 and 16.00
Here, your children are not only in excellent hands but can also have a whale of a time. Now that there is immediate access to the Dolomiti di Sesto skiing area, parents can save themselves a lot of time and stress. No more long and tiring travel dragging along your skis, lining up in long queues and feeling fraught and tense! Your children are met by an instructor the moment you arrive at the resort and once they have put on their skis they are ready for a carefree day on the slopes.
Our ski slope is also used in the afternoon for sledding and sliding on the snow. Snow can also be enjoyed in the play areas. This means we can also guarantee plenty of outdoor fun in the afternoon.

International marketsYou are hereNotre régionEnabling businessInternational markets
The success that many multinational and SMEs in the BioAlps cluster encounter is measured in part by their ability to export their products and services and expand the business internationally. As many start ups do not have experience in this, there are several mechanisms for learning the ropes. The BioAlps cluster events serve to network and exchange valuable information and experience.
Switzerland Global Entreprise (S-GE) is the umbrella organisation for the promotion of exports, imports and investments. Its mission is to help companies based in Switzerland and Liechtenstein to gain access to international markets. S-GE helps them every step of the way by providing tailored information, advice and modular products. The Enterprise Europe Network Switzerland, a facility coordinated by the European Commission, is made up S-GE, Euresearch and Alliance/EPFL.
The Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Switzerland (SIHK/CCIS), the umbrella association of the 18 cantonal Chambers of Commerce and Industry (CCI) in Switzerland, provide services such as the protection of politico-economic interests and support of company networks, as well as authentication of export documents and issuance of ATA carnets (for duty-free goods).
The primary mission of the Geneva Office for the Promotion of Industries and technologies (OPI) is to promote business locally and internationally. OPI organises business networking trips to various countries for companies in all sectors of the economy, including the life sciences. The secretariat of BioAlps is hosted by the OPI.
Foreign companies setting up in the BioAlps cluster will also find support from their national Chambers of Commerce, who usually have some kind of representation in Switzerland. There are also networking business groups such as the American International Club as well as other international networks.

We are offering a Free Craft of Acting Seminar to teens and adults in the community who are interested exploring the craft of acting for the first time, or for those who wish to deepen their current understanding of the acting process.
We will be discussing the foundation of acting and what it takes to make it truthful. In addition, we will be covering topics such as:
- What does it mean to be an artist?
- Difference between various acting approaches.

We understand that this is a free event. However, we ask that you treat this as you would something you paid for. Please only reserve a seat if you intend on coming, as we will turn people away once we run out of seats.
Why is this event free?

We are dedicated to supporting the artistic community, and we are happy to give back when we can. This is our way of doing just that.
If I attend this seminar, will it really be about trying to sell me on your classes?
We would love nothing more for you to join our artistic family at Truthful Acting, and we hope you enjoy yourself enough to consider that. However, this seminar is exactly what it states it is, and we will not try to sell you on taking any of our classes. We will simply answer basic questions about our studio and what we offer, and we will be available afterwards in case anyone has any additional questions about our classes. This seminar is about YOU and the questions you have :-)

As reported by Bloomberg, the former head of the company Travis Kalanik learned about the hacking a month later. Uber conducted an investigation and came to the conclusion that Kalanik did not participate in the concealment. In connection with the incident, the head of the security service was dismissed.
Recall, as a result of penetration into the Uber database in October 2016, cyber masters stole data from 57 million customers and drivers. In addition, at the disposal of hackers was information about 600 thousand of driving licensess in the US.
The New York State Prosecutor's Office began investigating the incident. In turn, the new head of the company Dara Khosrovshakhi apologized to the customers of the service.

Ode To Skin.
I heart skin. Big time.
Why you ask? Well for one, your skin is the ultimate guardian of all that is you. All of the bits and pieces that are you, are all being held together and protected by your beautiful skin, which is also your largest organ. And while many of us have been known (ahem, yours truly) to take it for granted, it really is a phenomenal organism. Here are just a few reasons why…
Good things stay in, bad things stay out: Not only does skin make sure that it keeps bacteria and pathogens out of the body, it also makes sure that water and important nutrients stay in the body.
Temperature stays at an all-time awesome: Your skin is smart enough to self regulate. That's right. While jackets are swell, the skin is quite talented at keeping the body insulated when it gets chilly outside, and cooling it off on those warmer than warm days.
Feel the sensation: What's an afternoon walk without feeling the sunshine on your face and a cool breeze on your cheeks? With thousands of nerve receptors, your skin is what allows you to feel hugs, a kiss on the cheek, and the almighty weekly massage. That alone is enough to be eternally grateful!
Tell tale signs: Whether we appreciate it or not, the skin is always going to let us know when something is not quite right. Lack of proper nutrition. Stress. Hormones. Lack of sleep. Dehydration. Imbalanced lifestyle. Your skin tells all. If something seems a bit off in your skin, it is a clear indicator that you need to give yourself a bit more TLC.
Built in handyman: This may be one of my favorites! How cool is this? If you happen to find yourself injured, (as us clumsy folk do from time to time), your skin knows to jump right in and repair itself. Seriously! If that doesn't satiate the sci-fi geek in you, I don't know what will!
Without further ado, I unveil my ode to skin. Join me as we investigate all the reasons we heart it and all the ways we can say thank you for being so great!
Why do you think skin is awesome? Share your thoughts below!

The Toyota GT86 made its debut at the Tokyo Motor show in 2011 and at Geneva motor show the car made its European debut. The UK specs the new Toyota GT86 is a Co-production of Toyota with Subaru BRZ. Many people assumed that the Toyota GT86 is a twin sister of the Subaru BRZ which is a bit true because of many similar cues however, there are minor but powerful and noticeable differences existing between Subaru and Toyota.
According to the chief engineer of the Toyota Mr.Tetsuya Tada-san, they have made some small changes in the settings of the spring and damper. The new Toyota GT86 has a lighter feel during drive, well balanced and is able to give you much accurate. There are no unique and innovative features to discuss about the car but it is obvious that the Toyota GT86 is a complete driver oriented car giving you a perfect feel of a comfortable and refreshing drive.
Let's have a detailed look at the features and specs of the Toyota GT86.
The exterior of this driver focused Toyota GT86 car is very admiring and it is something make people to stare at. The car is built on an entirely new platform and the mechanical components of the Toyota GT86 are surrounded by highly aerodynamic, strong and stretched body shell keeping it safe from the dirt and damage. The Toyota GT86 has a length, width and height of 4,240mm, 2,570mm and 1,285mm respectively making it the compact and sophisticated 4-seater sports car in its class. The Toyota GT86 is the first model offering the lowest center of gravity that is just 475mm among all the available latest Toyota models. The 17 inch wheels of the car are making the ride more comfortable and smooth.
Like the exterior of the Toyota GT86, the interior of the car is also as sporty as it is expected. There you will find a flat bottomed steering wheel with unique red stitching with buckskin finishing, navigation system, digital readouts, aluminium pedals, gray instrument panel, black roof lining and a large tachometer. All these things are combinely adding fun to the ride and giving you a feel of latest sporty car.
[themegallery id=25]
Engine and Performance
The Toyota GT86 is equipped with a 2.0 liter four cylinder horizontally opposed engine with a combination of port injection nd direct injection with separate twin injectors. The two injectors technology is called D-4S technology bossting up the performance of the engine without disturbing the fuel efficiency of the car. The Toyota GT86 is able to deliver a 200 horsepower at 7000RPM and 151 lb ft torque at 6600RPM while with the same engine the Subaru promised a 300 horsepower for their BRZ model. The engine pushes the car from 0 to 60mph in just 7 seconds. The engine of the Toyota GT86 is mated with a six speed manual transmission or a six speed automatic transmission box. Performance wise, the car is really inspiring and the brakes of the Toyota GT86 are really effective.
The car is available in the market between a range of $20,000 to $25,000.
The perfect rivals for the Toyota GT86 are Porsche Cayman R, Lotus Evora S, Mercedez Benz C-63 AMG and BMW M3. The biggest rival for the Toyota GT86 will be the Subaru BRZ because the company claimed that the car will be able to produce more horsepower and will feature more impressive features.
- Smart style.
- Driver oriented cabin and cockpit.
- Low center gravity.
- Took too long to make its debut.
- With the same engine, the Subaru version will be more powerful.

NEW Seminar Presented By
Cathy Andronik
Outstanding Librarian, Book Reviewer and International Presenter
In this electrifying, NEW seminar, outstanding librarian and book reviewer, Cathy Andronik shares her insider information on the ins and outs of award committees, list committees and the world of book reviewing. With hundreds of awards given annually, teachers and librarians are keen to select only the best titles to use with their students.
In addition to exploring the major awards in depth, you will discover outstanding, lesser-known lists. You will learn about dozens of outstanding titles, examining many of the books themselves and receiving detailed annotations in a comprehensive resource handbook. Plus, you'll discover a wealth of proven strategies for incorporating these exceptional books in your classroom or library program.
Join Cathy for a high energy and inspiring day full of the very best award-winning books of the last ten years, plus a host of strategies and techniques that you can use immediately, successfully and powerfully to integrate these books into your own grades 6-12 classroom or library program.
Dear Colleague:
I am so excited that you are interested in learning more about the best award-winning young adult books published in the last decade. As an experienced secondary school librarian, I used to tell my students there was nothing I'd rather do on a gray, rainy day than enjoy a good book – but rarely did I find a student who initially understood how that could be considered fun! A key step in getting young adults excited about reading has to be introducing them to great books that connect to their lives, experiences and interests.
With literally hundreds of different awards given to YA literature annually, keeping track of the best, most high-quality literature for our teens can be daunting. This can often prohibit teachers and librarians from choosing the best materials or being able to talk about them. I have designed this seminar specifically to introduce you to the best award-winning books of the last decade – books I know will be among tomorrow's "classics."
We will explore books perfect for grabbing the attention of our young adults now and continuing to motivate them to want to read for a lifetime. I want to equip you with the skills, information and motivation needed to confidently select the most outstanding YA books and make best use of them in your program. Plus, each participant will receive my extensive resource handbook, The Best Award-Winning Young Adult Books of the Last Decade and How to Use Them in Your Program, with a fully annotated bibliography, booklists, strategies, and much more!
Be prepared to spend a day doing what book lovers love to do – learn about books, talk about books, review books, and share ideas related to books. You will leave knowing dozens upon dozens of the best award-winning books for your grades 6-12 students and equipped with great ideas for using them in your classroom or library program.
Cathy Andronik
P.S. If you're looking for books with high teen appeal, this is the seminar for you. Come prepared to do the number one thing that gets teens reading: talking about great books!

After the launch of its first Mi Home store in India in Bengaluru, Xiaomi is preparing to unveil the new Redmi smartphone on 16 May. The phonemaker has sent out media invites for an event in Delhi, which is likely to be the launch of the Redmi 4 smartphone.
The device was launched last year in China. Its predecessors, the Redmi 3S and Redmi 3S Prime, were launched in India last July and have sold quite well here.
The Redmi 4 has a 5-inch 720p display and, under the hood, it has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor. It has a 2 GB RAM capacity and 16 GB internal memory capacity. The smartphone comes with a 4,100 mAh battery and will run a customised version of MIUI 8 over Android Marshmallow 6.0. It has a 13 MP front camera and a 5 MP rear camera.
The higher variant Redmi 4 Prime uses Snapdragon 625 processor with 3 GB RAM capacity. The device also has a higher 32 GB internal memory.
The Redmi 4 will be exclusively sold on Amazon. Unlike, Lenovo which launched the Moto G5 on Amazon after launching the Moto G5 Plus on Flipkart, Xiaomi has stayed with Amazon as its sole e-commerce partner. Both, the Redmi 4 and the Redmi 4 Prime are likely to be priced under ₹10,000.

At the symbolic small ceremony, held at the restaurant Mimoza Dubrovnik's Tourist Board awarded longtime guests of the city of Dubrovnik.
It's sort of tradition of the Dubrovnik Tourist Board to symbolically award guests that are coming to Dubrovnik for many years, who are also the best promoters of tourist offer. One of many are married couple Uli and Renate Kwetkat from Herne, Germany,that have been loyal to Dubrovnik for 21 years.
Their first arrival to Dubrovnik was in 1997, when they came to help and support Dubrovnik after the Homeland War. With Don Péter's help from Saint Peter's Parish, they connected young people from Germany and Dubrovnik. During their numerous arrivals and stays in Dubrovnik, several times a year, they made life lasting friendships, especially with Anko and Branko Danicic and Dubravko Cacic.
On behalf of the City of Dubrovnik, gifts were handed to the couple by Sandra Milovcevic and Aida Hadzic, who thanked the Kwetkat couple for their loyalty and expressed their hope that they will continue their tradition of visiting Dubrovnik.
For Dubrovnik, the guests that come back year after year are especially precious because they are loyal to our region and they proudly share their connection with Dubrovnik in their homeland.

It wasn't until I was about halfway through Into the Still Blue that I realized how much I disliked the relationship between Aria and Roar. Yes, I know that platonic relationships can exist between gorgeous (and straight) men and women. But it seems like Rossi couldn't decide whether she wanted to create a legitimate love triangle or whether she wanted to keep Aria and Roar "just friends." Instead, the pair have a relationship that attempts to straddle the two extremes…. Read more »

ISPs are stuck in an uncomfortable digital dragnet as record companies, Hollywood studios and independent copyright bounty hunters target their subscribers as pirates. Increasingly, service providers are even being asked to cut their subscribers' connections, a last-ditch proposition that these companies ordinarily avoid at all costs.
Although many ISPs are complying, several of the largest are putting the brakes on the most severe of these requests, saying copyright law simply doesn't cover the new file-swapping services. The resulting tension outlines what will likely be an increasingly contentious battlefield as file trading shifts from centralized services such as Napster to new networks such as Gnutella and others that can be approached only one individual at a time.
The new file-swapping services "can't fit under the (copyright law), and the copyright community is very frustrated", said Sarah Deutsch, associate general counsel for Verizon Communications, one of the biggest high-speed ISPs. "It's one thing to ask us to take material down. But asking for subscriber termination is a very drastic remedy that infringes on people's rights and speech."
The run-ins over individual subscribers' actions and what to do with them are just part of a broader tug-of-war being played out between ISPs and copyright holders around the world.
Last weekend, diplomats and corporate representatives were scheduled to meet to negotiate a new treaty on international law, parts of which ISPs warn could badly undermine a hard-fought balance in the United States that shields them from financial liability for their subscribers' actions. With the new implications of Napster and its descendants, those diplomatic discussions are reopening painful memories of the massive Washington, DC, lobbying battle between media and telecommunications companies that gave rise to current U.S. law.
Cat-and-mouse game A few high-profile ISP enforcement actions have already emerged, as record labels and Hollywood studios separately mount campaigns to shut down file traders. A few individuals have been publicly targeted for trading works, including an Oklahoma University student who's PC was confiscated by school authorities after the record industry complained about Napster use.
In addition, the past few weeks have seen a surge in alliances from a new generation of piracy-hunting companies, underscoring the now-permanent nature of the cat-and-mouse game.
Napster itself is fading from the radar screen as the hub of online file-trading, these companies say. But, they add, the massive publicity stemming from the site's popularity and the record companies' lawsuit against it has left a lasting legacy: The mainstream public knows copyrighted material is freely available online.
"The general public is becoming more and more aware that this stuff is out there," said David Powell, CEO of Copyright Control, one of the oldest copyright-hunters on the Net. "Piracy is increasing very rapidly."
The tactics pursued by individual companies such as Copyright Control, Copyright.net and others are similar to those of the record and movie companies. Each has the technology, either in-house or from outside consultants, to search through networks such Napster, Gnutella or Aimster and find the Net addresses of computers sharing files.
This technology doesn't reveal individual subscribers' names, but it can be used--if the ISP agrees--to trace an individual.
Previously, most piracy requests asked an ISP to take content off the Web or off its server. This is explicitly covered by copyright law and has not been overly controversial. But in the peer-to-peer world, copyrighted works are on subscribers' hard drives, which ISPs can't control.
In this area, the tactics reach into disputed territory. The most ambitious copyright policers, which ISPs say tend to be the independent companies, are asking that subscribers' be cut off. And that's where some ISPs are balking. Some of this initial tension has begun to die down. Dave McClure, executive director of the United States Internet Industry Association, says that he has heard few complaints from member ISPs in recent weeks, a change from several months ago.
The copyright enforcers say they are doing their best to work with the ISPs to balance interests.
"They've got businesses to run," said Cary Sherman, the Recording Industry Association of America's general counsel. "We have to be sensitive in terms of asking them to do things that would be harmful to their business."
Anti-piracy scouts have taken a tack that works with some ISPs, noting that people exchanging huge volumes of illegally copied movies, songs or software use far more bandwidth than ordinary customers, making them expensive to serve. New broadband customers are costly to find and keep, often requiring several years for ISPs to make up the initial expense of discounted equipment and other sign-up bonuses. But the savings on bandwidth makes cutting off these subscribers worthwhile, companies such as Copyright Control argue.
ISPs also have terms of service that almost universally bar copyright violations. Many copyright protectors have presented what they say is ample evidence of the violations.
This has led in some cases to more amicable relationships between ISPs and the piracy patrols. But resistance from large ISPs including Verizon, EarthLink and others is forcing an issue that courts ultimately may need to rule on: Are individual file-swappers violating copyright law?
"That issue has never been litigated before," Verizon's Deutsch noted.
Outside these individual flare-ups, the ISP community is preparing for the prospect of broader policy battles. The international debates over the Hague Convention on International Jurisdiction and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments is the current concern, as service providers worry that their US protections will be undermined.
But some worry that even US debates might be reopened as more people sign up for broadband connections and discover file swapping.
The RIAA's Sherman said his organization, one of the biggest copyright holder lobbying groups, is happy with existing law for now. Wary ISPs are nevertheless on the lookout for signs of change.
Copyright holders are "putting out tremendous amounts of money on enforcement actions that they can't recover" from ordinary individuals, the U.S. Internet Industry Association's McClure said. "That means they have to find somebody with deep pockets that they have to go after. And that's ISPs."

Full Blooded by Amanda Carlson
Full Blooded (Jessica McClain)
To purchase this title, click the cover image.
With the glut of werewolf books on the market, it can be tough to find something really original. Amanda Carlson makes strides in this direction with Full Blooded, a novel about the only female werewolf in the world. Its originality, however, is a bit hampered by overuse of common tropes.
(Description nicked from B&N.com.)
"It's not easy being a girl. It's even harder when you're the only girl in a family of werewolves. But it's next to impossible when your very existence spells out the doom of your race… Meet Jessica McClain — she just became part of the pack."
I liked the premise in this novel that no werewolves are female, because it neatly bypasses the constant question of "How do female werewolves get pregnant and remain pregnant through a shift?" It also allows for a werewolf within a pack who can be strong and yet still be an outsider, instead of being a lone wolf or an omega (or submissive) wolf. That gives the author an opportunity to take a different view not only of how a pack might work, but how such an outsider might fit within a pack hierarchy.
Jessica is a fairly well-rounded character, and most definitely not prey to the tropes of "lone and powerful female". She isn't revered in her pack—quite the opposite—and she doesn't take kindly to being protected. She's very much her own person, wanting to continue her job as a private investigator and live her own life. How well "normal life" and "werewolf" fit together remains to be seen in the story.
The book has plenty of action and fights, as other supernatural races figure out that Jessica has become a full werewolf. There's also plenty of fighting within Jessica's pack, because a prophecy about her states that she will destroy the werewolf race, and this is a nice change from the kinds of prophecies that make someone all-powerful. If it comes true, she'll be the last of her race, not its leader or prophet or anything like that.
Unfortunately, I think that Carlson avoids some tropes only to fall into others. Jessica is not only the sole female werewolf, but she's also the subject of the prophecy as well as being able to shift into the elusive "half-wolf" form that no other werewolf can. Her father is the head of a powerful pack and thus can shield her from harm; however, her father's Alpha powers don't work on her and therefore don't restrain her. In other words, she is the special-est of the special.
And of course, there are the obligatory sex scenes. I have no problem with them in and of themselves, but it is way too common for novels to emphasize that werewolves are horny beasts. We get it already, so let's move along to something different
This book had its good points and its bad points, but overall I enjoyed reading it. I'm curious to see where Carlson takes the story in the next novel, Hot Blooded. If she can avoid falling into the same overly-used plot points that so many others have used, she may have a really original story on her hands. We'll see how things play out from here.

While the number of aircraft that landed or took off from East Hampton Airport climbed only incrementally in the first part of 2017 compared to the previous year, the number of complaints lodged about aircraft noise through two online outlets skyrocketed and already exceeds the level of complaints from all of 2016.
As of July 31, the last date the complaint data has been compiled for, there had been 30,821 complaints lodged about aircraft believed to be approaching or departing East Hampton Airport. In all of 2016, there were 30,811 complaints logged, which had already represented a 25-percent jump from 2015 levels.
Consultants to the town last year attributed the leap in numbers of complaints to the ease of use of a new privately-operated website, AirNoiseReport.com, that allows users to file complaints about individual aircraft by simply touching the image of a plane on a digital map showing the location of known flights in the region.
But the ease of use of the site, which accounted for more than half of 2016's complaints and 80 percent of the complaints filed in 2017 already, also makes it easy for a single individual to file multiple complaints about the same aircraft.
Noise consultant Mary Ellen Eagan said that while her company, HMMH, now tallies complaints on both AirNoiseReport.com and the town's official complaint site, PlaneNoise.com, there is no way to tell if any, or all, of the complaints on the town site are being duplicated by the same person on AirNoiseReport and effectively counted twice.
There have been 6,200 complaints lodged on PlaneNoise thus far this year and 24,600 on AirNoiseReport.
The town's complaint site asks users to enter the physical address where they experienced the aircraft flying over, and therefore allows the consultants to at least estimate how many individual residents were being affected by aircraft noise.
While supporters of restrictions on aircraft traffic at the airport have pointed to the climbing complaints as evidence that consternation over the airport is broad-based, aviation groups have pointed to evidence of "super-complainers" who account for an outsized portion of the complaints and skew the message the numbers send. One piece of evidence: During the summer of 2015, when curfews were in place at East Hampton Airport and before the advent of AirNoiseReport, there were 19,100 complaints filed through the town's site. The complaints came from 475 individual complainants, but some 60 percent of the total were lodged by just 15 individuals.
Critics say that the AirNoiseReport system is further skewing the data, and increasingly so the more it is used.
"Approximately 41 percent of those complaints cannot be verified to have even come from anyone living on the East End or even in the State of NY and cannot be tracked to determine how many people actually made those complaints," Kathryn Slye, a member of the East Hampton Aviation Association, a pilots group, said in an email on Tuesday.
Ms. Slye spotlighted the climbing number of complaints in the last two years, despite the fact that the total number of flights at the airport has remained essentially flat since 2014.
At a public discussion on Tuesday, one resident of the neighborhoods near the airport, which he described as "epicenter" for airplane noise, asked the town to develop a mobile phone app for people to log complaints with, which he said would then provide more accurate data about how many people are being affected because it would show who made each complaint.
"Why do we have three different ways to log a complaint?" said Peter Montalbano, who said he logs about 300 complaints a year. "Is there a way we can get an application and all use the same one? All you have to do is have your location services on and then you'll know exactly how many people are being affected. I have a feeling you'd get a lot more unique users."

This story appears in the Summer Issue of SCOREGolf Magazine available now.
If he weren't so busy Ian Andrew would make one heck of a picker.
The studious Brantford, Ont.-based golf course architect takes great delight in uncovering rare artifacts, a passion that's morphed from a curiosity-quenching hobby to a necessary, refined-over-the-years skill as he takes on more and more restoration projects.
So you can imagine the smile that spread across his face when upon rummaging through some lockers at Pennsylvania's Pennhills Club, pulling out old oil cans and other junk, he first discovered Clifford Wendenhack's clubhouse blueprints (Wendenhack being the most influential clubhouse architect of the early 20th century) and inside of those, Walter J. Travis's original rag linen drawings of the club's nine-hole golf course. It was a massive find, and gave Andrew a stencil to follow when bringing Pennhills back to its origins.
In a day and age when new golf course construction has slowed significantly, restoration work — literally returning a significantly changed golf course back to its original design as closely as possible — has become more prevalent, and was ignited by the well-documented tree removal at U.S. Open host Oakmont.

Homemade Sushi Cake11/13/2014 08:09:00 PM
Just look at this beauty. This sushi cake actually took weeks of planning and maybe 20 minutes of making. It was a birthday cake for my lover and man, was he happy and full. I am dying to make a version 2 of this cake and maybe make it a little more cleaner and of course spend a little more time placing my yummy fishies.
For all the sushi involved in this cake I actually order everything from the place I worked at. It's just way easier for me to buy the already cut sashimi rather then order it online and cut everything myself. I also don't have a Japanese store near by to buy good ol sushi grade fish. This will have to do!
I'm pretty proud of this delicious cake! I have created a video if you want to see the process and all the ingredient I used to put this cake together.
Oh, I am craving sushi now. Feed me~

Noise Tube: The First Renders
I'm continuing the Perlin noise saga. The last thing I did was port the Noise Column project over to Processing and openFrameworks.
This time I wanted to add some actual volume — not just perceived volume — to the form. These are just some initial tests that you see above. I've got a ton to learn about lighting and optimization and matrix transformations. Robert says I need to use "per-vertex normals". I say "OKAY!" Hopefully I can start adding some of these things over the next couple weeks and really use this project as a general learning tool.
For now, I'm developing all this in Processing using the PGraphicsOpenGL renderer. I'm not using any actual OpenGL calls directly; I'm only using the Processing API. One little discovery I made yesterday: PeasyCam turns out to be a really sweet little camera library for Processing. Adds mouse control over the camera with a single line of code.
The ultimate goal of this is to create two different pieces. One will be a rendered motion piece. It probably won't have any audio and will function as an ambient looping video. It will be submitted to this call for entries: Flow Interrupted.
The second piece would actually be interactive. I'm going to toy around with camera, audio, and touch as discreet inputs (all separately). This will give me a chance to play with the new HP TouchSmart PC I got. So you could consider the second execution to be more of an interactive installation piece. And that's going to be submitted to this call for entries: FLUID Interactive Digital Art.
Check out some of the stills:
