Just 30 minutes from the picturesque cities of Buda-pest, the Hungaroring offers a strange mix of a fast flowing corners but with the feel of a street circuit in a tricky and enticing track layout which promotes close racing but hard overtaking opportunities.
The Hungaroring has provided some scintillating racing in previous Invictus Racing League seasons and with no reason to expect any different the feeling in the paddock was that of wary optimism.
Hungary can be highly rewarding to those who are brave but equally can punish the slightest mistakes with devastating results.
It was round three of the Invictus calendar and with two very competitive founds under the wheels of the drivers already. The expectation of another fantastic week of racing was on the mind of all involved.
The no-assist championship had started with a bang over the previous two rounds. The championship lead was poised nicely between three drivers at the top as BoyBetterKnow, Scopefielder and Humbostone all vied for top spot in the standings before we head to France for the first race at Circuite Paul Ricard.
It was a beautiful blue skied day awaiting for qualifying and with the cheers of the crowd echoing across the circuit the cars started rumbling down the pit lane and onto the track surface.
Pole was taken in superb fashion by the Force India of Nikki9095 who just pipped current joint points leader Humbostone to second with BoyBetterKnow sitting just behind them.
It was a disastrous session for xMikexSI who crashed out early before setting a time and for Speed_Queen80 who set a time outside of the 107% time of Nikki meaning the Williams driver would have to ask for permission from the circuit stewards to line up on the grid. A dry race was forecasted and it was well received by the grid as 14 cars would be heading down to turn one.
The red lights went out and the man on the charge off the line was BoyBetterKnow who seemed to have lightning reactions off the line as he breezed past Humbostone and Nikki to take the lead heading into the first corner.
Nikki followed the Sauber closely through the initial laps as the top three made a break over the rest of the field and and they pushed hard to open up a three second lead over Joel who had equally made a good start to move up into fourth.
Scott lost the lead on lap three and was struggling to get his card slowed down for corners and at the end of lap three after losing control in sector two the decision was made by the Sauber pit-wall to retire to car as it seemed a hydraulic issue would put a premature end to the championship leaders race.
He wouldn't be the only car on track struggling for grip as cameras picked up Joel losing control of his Force India at turn five which in turn dropped him to the back of the field in what has been a torrid start to the season for him.
It turned into a nightmare afternoon for Otmar Szafnauer as Nikki9095 lost control of the sister Force India, as he headed towards the wall on the exit of turn nine he collided with the unfortunate Humbostone as the McLaren pit-wall looked on in disbelief as their driver was forced into an early stop for a wing change whilst Nikki retired from the race after stalling the car trying to recover from a second spin just two corners later.
The man on the move was Mamafisher who had made a superb first stint work to move up from 12th to second as he followed Jos_Heinssie who had been promoted to the race lead with the two circulating at a good pace on the soft tyre.
Mamafisher made his only stop on lap 17 and used a superb one lap undercut to pass Jos for the lead of the race as the two were followed by Delange93 who had made a quiet but effective move to a podium position.
The race went down to the wire and Mamafisher drove brilliantly to keep Jos behind but after a time penalty was dropped into the lap of the race leader he knew that all hard-work to maintain the lead would most likely be in vain.
The two crossed the line with Mamafisher managing to hold off the dutch driver. However, it was Jos who was promoted to the race victory after the stewards placed the time penalties upon the initial winner.
Delange93 picked up a fantastic third in the Haas whilst Speed_Queen80 came home fourth after a good display in the underpowered Williams. Humbostone fought back after his early tangle with Nikki and recovered to fifth and as the only driver of the three at the top of the standings before the race to pick up points he took a slender lead heading to France next week.
Scopefielder had a disappointing race and finished over 40 seconds down in 11th as the Toro Rosso struggled all race to find any pace in an off day for the Swede.
Humbostone leads the field in the championship by six points but with the top three finishing either out or down the order. It will certainly open up the championship to the rest of the grid.
Performance 1
After his victory in Bahrain, Renault driver Tejuarr was on the hunt for another positive result at the Hungaroring. The ultrasoft tyre was always going to be the dominant performer in qualifying and mj_coop was the driver who made it count when it mattered.
The Red Bull driver obliterated the rest of the field to take pole by over seven tenths ahead of LMC_Boogster in second who dragged his Sauber around superbly to get it on the front row.
The race was poised nicely as drivers such as AaronJSpence, Tony-Y and SirSpud were all starting further down the grid so would be in the mood for a charge early on.
As the race went green an immediate problem for Ferrari driver xMIKExSI saw the car spin the tyres and lose control as he found himself pointing the wrong direction ina move that baffled the pit-wall leading to speculate about a fluid leak onto the tyres on the formation lap.
Ahead, mj_coop maintained the lead into turn one and it was last weeks winner in Tejuarr who got the jump into second position past Boogster who battled throughout the lap with the Renault into the penultimate corner. It wasn't the outcome he wanted and after colliding with the Renault he lost the rear end thus dropping him back to the back end of the field.
Jamie_6328 had made a great start moving into third, but after a spin at turn five on lap two disaster struck. The Haas speared across the circuit into the wall and as it rebounded it was collected by the unfortunate SirSpud in the Renault as both drivers ended their races earlier than planned with terminal damage.
The two also caused Tony-Y to lose control of his Sauber and collide with the wall. It called the pit-crew into action early and dropped Tony to the back of the field effectively ruling himself out of a podium position.
A lap later and a mistake from Ferrari_LCFC10 saw him lose front aero components when he ran into the back of Skyzii into turn 15 and the wing change would cause him to lose precious time in the pit-window in what was a close knit start to the race.
mj_coop controlled the first half of the race and even after making his stop onto the medium tyre he breezed past SJD easily into turn one and quickly caught the Sauber of Boogster on lap 20 of 35 as the then leaders of Mike and Boogster pitted to make their first and second stops respectively. This freed up coop to push and extend his lead at the front with only SJD keeping up with the Red Bull.
Lap 22 saw the unfortunate end for Tejuarr as last weeks victor lost control of his car in sector two, after running well in the midfield early. It wasn't to be for the experienced driver as he cut a frustrated figure in the post race interviews.
The race distance started to count down and with six laps left it was a comfortable lead for coop as SJD tried to keep him honest in second, Fascone who had found himself in third after a first lap pit-stop meant he was on almost 30 lap old tyres by the end as he saw the gap between himself and Boogster disappearing lap upon lap.
There was still time for controversy as another collision between Skyzii and FerrariLFC saw the two spin at turn two and ultimately fall back behind the recovering Tony. The two were immediately called to the stewards after the race to explain their sides of the story in what looks like a testy rivalry building between the two.
The chequered flag saw a perfect race finished off by mj_coop who took home the pole, victory and fastest lap as he gave us a dominant display in front of the passionate fans.
SJD came in second after starting seventh in a drive that saw plaudits from the paddock after the race. Fascone took provisional third ahead of Boogster who took a three second penalty for an earlier infraction demoted him back behind the Irishman who finished the race on 34 lap old medium tyres.
A post race dispute was raised by the Sauber team and after speaking with the stewards it was agreed to rescind the penalty and therefore promoted Boogster back into third.
mj_coop leads the championship heading to the Paul Ricard circuit next week with 15 points, but with a field who will all be eyeing up the title there is certainly no reason not to expect the lead to change come France.
Equal Performance
Sambamkid had started off this season in his usual style as he took race victory in the first two races and as the grid all made their way to the circuit the talk was all about how to stop his dominance.
Sam lead the way by 6 points to Jos_Heinssie and looked in fine form to continue his winning ways as qualifying began. However, an issue with the Mercedes in the garage confined him to start from the back of the grid and not set a time meaning a trip to the stewards to cover the 107% ruling would be undertaken.
In his absence it was mdoran09 who took pole position by the slightest of margins. The Toro Rosso set a time fractionally under seven hundredths of a second faster than Tamworthfox in second whilst Sam would have to pass the McLaren of Speed_Queen80 if he hoped to get himself back up the field.
The drivers woke up the next morning to a cold and wet track as they prepared for a much slipperier surface than qualifying and had to reassess their breaking points.
Mdoran lead the grid away from the line and kept his lead into turn one as the field tentatively made their way around the first lap.
Sambam moved past SpeedQueen but a brave move from the Mclaren saw her retake the position from Sam as they engaged in a fun battle of the next few laps.
The leader started lap four and with a lead of around a second it was looking like a close race was in store but the Toro Rosso pit-wall had their heads in their hands minutes later as their driver lost power and eventually drive as he rounded the final corners they made the decision to retire the car in a bitter blow to mdoran.
The rain had stopped and a drying line had quickly appeared on the track surface, this caused a rush of cars to flood into the pit-lane and with a mix of strategy through the field it eventually presented Foxyred2000 with the lead of the race ahead of Tamworth.
Speed_Queen80 and Sambam were still continuing their fight and finally on lap 8 Sam made the move on SQ and pulled away quickly and breezed past Jos on lap 10 as the Mercedes driver had already fought his way to third from last on the grid.
After pitting to remove the intermediate tyres the top two of Foxy and Tamworth had both put on a set of soft compound tyres which meant they would have to stop again, whilst Sam had used the medium tyre giving himself a chance at running them to the end. That was the case by lap 21 as both Foxyred and Tamworth were forced to stop and relinquish the lead to Sam.
As the race came to its crescendo Sambam was still leading but finding his lead being slowly etched away by Foxxyred and Tamworth who had both dispatched Speed_Queen for a place on the podium as they used the faster compound to move back through the field.
The laps ran out for Foxyred and the McLaren failed to catch Sambam who had driven a masterful race in changeable conditions to take the victory and a third win in a row from ninth and last on the grid.
Foxred2000 picked up a well deserved second whilst penalities demoted TamworthFox back behind Speed_Queen80 who picked up her second consecutive third place as she looks to get her season going and push towards a championship challenge.
Sambamkid maintains his lead at the top on 36 points with a perfect record so far. It is now up to the rest of the grid to play catch up but with drivers like Gamer_Da_Best262 waiting to return. Sam may not have it all his own way this season.
Betrayer46 and WaveIntel were already reigniting their rivalry but this season in F2 as the two led the field after the first two races.
They wouldn't have it easy though and with a returning Humbostone along with mj_coop and Benjym214 there were a plethora of drivers willing to push them off the perch at the top of the championship table.
Qualifying saw an almost even split as six drivers chose to start to the ultrasoft tyres whilst five decided for the soft tyre. It was only Kieran who decided against a time for the session and sat on row six at the back of the grid.
It was business as usual for the Red Bull team as Betrayer put his car on pole by two tenths to Humbostone in the Mercedes. Whilst out of the harder compound runners RickWR88 dropped ahead of mj_coop as the two started seventh and eighth.
WaveIntel could only make it into tenth and would find a very busy track ahead on the run down to turn one in a disappointing session for the Scottish driver.
Come race time it was a nightmare start for Betrayer, the championship leader didn't get the best launch off the line and found himself swamped by the field as almost four cars battled for the lead into turn one.
After brief contact with Humbostone pushed both cars out wide both the Mercedes driver and Betrayer found themselves losing positions with Betrayer in sixth.
Fulchaa was the initial beneficiary of the start as he moved up from fourth on the grid to the race lead but with on the second lap the McLaren driver was already complaining of overheating tyres. This was evident as he was caught and overhauled easily by Humbostone and with the ultra soft tyres already struggling on Fulchaas car it from bad to worse.
He lost several positions to NeverMiss and Jamie but as he rounded the final corner he lost all grip and spun directly into the path of the recovering Betrayer. The two collided and although the the contact was minor it seemed Fulchaa would be forced to retire with an unknown issue.
Lap four saw the retirement of FerrariLFC10 who after picking up wing damage in a collision with Kieran found himself struggling for grip on the notoriously aero critical circuit and at turn five after running wide he was caught from behind by RickWr88 and Ferrari was put into the wall and therefore ended the race early for the Haas driver.
Mj_coop was the driver on the move early in the race and utilising the soft compound tyre to move up as the ultra soft runners began to stop on lap four. He was kept company by Kieran as the two tried to stretch a gap over the rest of the field.
As the race reached its half way point mj_coop was still in the lead on the soft tyres whilst Humbostone and Jamie had both move past NickLJ into podium positions. The drivers were made aware by the team weather reports that a prolonged rain cloud had moved into course with the circuit and on lap 17 the first drops of rain started falling.
This greatly impacted both Rick and Kieran who both pitted a few laps previously and would need to factor in another stop for the inevitable intermediate tyre.
Lap 18 saw chaos break out for the Ferrari team mates as NickLJThomson lost the rear end of the car at turn one and found himself facing in the wrong direction as he dropped out of a strong fourth back towards the end of the grid.
It would be a hard recovery for Nick as he struggled to get any temperature back into his old soft compound tyres on the slightly damp track surface.
The Maranello teams woes were then immediately compounded as their young driver promoted from F3 last season and championship challenger WaveIntel hit the wall at speed at turn four and ended his race much earlier than planned.
This was the time for the pit stops to happen and every driver came in on lap 19. The new tyres didn't suit everyone however, NeverMiss00 who was looking at attacking Betrayer for fifth lost the rear end of his McLaren at the exit of turn three and added his name to the growing list on non finishers.
With ten laps to run the battle for the lead was between mj_coop, Humbostone and Jamie_6328 as the three all circulated within 1.5 seconds of each other. Coop started to look like he was in control of the race but on lap 28 the Red Bull driver made the slightest of mistakes which in the wet would always be punished as the leader dropped from first to third in one corner.
That promoted Humbostone into the lead and the Mercedes driver would now have the Renault of Jamie his main challenger for the race victory.
Lap 29 saw another retirement on circuit as Rick ended his race early in what was becoming a very difficult track surface and with five laps remaining there would only be seven runners left.
Jamie saw his opportunity on lap 32 as Humbostone make a mistake at turn five and he needed no invitation to send it up the inside for the race lead and he would go on to lead the final laps of the race.
Jamie crossed the line and took the provisional victory but a stewards penalty devastated the Renault driver as he dropped back to second behind Humbostone who would claim his first victory of the season. Mj_coop drew a frustrated air about him in the post race media discussions as penalties dropped him behind his team mate Betrayer who took an unlikely podium after a disappointing race.
Betrayer maintains the lead of the title and with WaveIntel non scoring it was a great result for the veteran English driver but with Humbostone, Jamie and Coop looking strong. This is not going to be a straight forward battle for anyone to claim the F2 championship.
It was all change in F3 this week as Gazzaman96 and Paulo both saw themselves promoted to F2 whilst JamieMet92 joined the F3 league. The promotion effectively promoted BrenOns to championship leader and with a gaggle of cars behind all vying for points such as Fascone, Tejuarr and CaptainStiff it proved once again just how competitive F3 is.
Blue skies greeted the drivers in Hungary and with a dry race in store it would all be about who could connect up the perfect lap during qualifying.
As with most leagues it was a split grid of strategy calls as the drivers mixed between the soft compound and ultra soft and it was Fascone who set a blistering 1.16.9 on the ultrashort tyres who dominated qualifying to take pole position ahead of team mate xMIKExSI as the Toro Rosso drivers locked out the front row for the second time this season.
Osteven pipped SirSpud and CaptainStiff to third as the Mercedes of Spud was sat in between the two Renault drivers with F1Richard in fifth.
BrenOns had a poor session and after losing the rear end of his Sauber on the main straight with three minutes to go he had no time to recover and set another lap meaning it would be a charge from the back if he was planning on continuing his strong performances so far.
Fascone got a rocket of a start off the line and maintained his lead heading to turn one as Mike and osteven swapped positions for second and third. The Renault driver looked to be struggling early on the ultra soft tyres and by the mid point of the second lap had already haemorrhaged a three and a half second lead to Fascone.
Mike made a bold move back on Steven at turn 11 as the Toro Rosso moved back to a one-two position as the Renault started to lose a lot of time and after being passed by Spud down the main straight allowed his team-mate CaptainStiff past as the two split strategy.
The fighting in the midfield was intense and whilst F1Richard and JamieMet fought over fifth and sixth the battle behind was raging between the two Ferrari team mates in Craig8728 and Tejuarr. The two vastly experienced drivers were playing the team game and Tej made life easy for Craig as the two swapped places on lap four.
They immediately went on the offensive against F1Richard who had fallen back from his fight with Jamie and after a mistake from Richard saw his McLaren clip the wall at turn four he came back into the path of Craig who did masterfully well not to cause an accident which could have easily caught out four drivers.
However a mature drive from Craig saw him wait and move past Richard into turn 12 whilst his team mate Tej made a daring lunge into turn 13 as Richard started feeling the effect of a lack of aero as he started struggling to get the McLaren around the lap.
NotoriousLIP has had a disappointing start to the season in the Mercedes and that continued today as he retired early of after hitting the wall after turn three. The Irishman was tipped to do well this season but will hope the luck returns as we head to France before he starts to get left behind in the title fight.
Fascone and Mike had made their stops early to come off the used ultra soft as the two had started to come under threat from Spud and Stiff behind. The new race leaders then found themselves with free track ahead and Spud stretched his lead over Stiff who started to struggle on the tyres as JamieMet started to reel in the Renault.
Jamie made the move on Stiff into turn one on lap eleven as the two fought over second. The quiet mover on the circuit however was BrenOns, he had started on the medium tyre and by lap 11 moved past Tejuarr into fifth as the current championship leader was starting to impose himself on the top five.
The race began plateau as it entered its mid point and with short battles taking over during the pit window it allowed Fascone to continue stretching his lead over SirSpud at the top of the field after Spud made his stop. The top five of Fascone, Spud, Jamie, Stiff and BrenOns had broken away from the rest of the field and it was championship leader BrenOns who had utilised a strong first stint on the mediums to move past Stiff on lap 28 as they two swapped fourth and fifth position.
The race came to its conclusion on lap 35 as Fascone came across the line to take a dominant victory having displayed a commanding lead throughout the entire race. He was followed by Spud who after two non finishes was delighted to be back on the podium as he looks to kick start his season.
JamieMet took a debut podium as the Red Bull came home in third ahead of BrenOns and Captain_Stiff as the two maintained more solid points scoring early in the season.
The Ferrari team-mates of Craig and Tejuarr had a race to forget as both tried the two stop but to no avail and with a spin from Tej early on into his second stint he would only recover to tenth place after a last lap over-take on the Renault of osteven who was frustrated after not transferring his qualifying pace over to race pace.
Bren_Ons maintains the lead in the championship but with Fascone now looking ominous behind after two strong races in Australia and Hungary he certainly will throw his hat in the ring for a battle for the title.
Behind it's all to play for as Captain-Stiff, Tejuarr, Craig8728 are all looking up at the top two with the intent of putting themselves into title contention.
Once again it was another superb round of action in the Invictus Racing League. We depart Hungary and head to the Circuit Paul Ricard next week as we make our Invictus debut in France for the first time. The circuit will be a new challenge to all and with run off areas galore. It will be a fast paced and frenetic race packed with action from flag to flag.

Glenn Hoddle wanted England manager's job again as he had "unfinished business"
Ex-Three Lions boss would have jumped at the chance to succeed Hodgson or Allardyce, says Gorman
GLENN HODDLE would have jumped at the chance to manage England again as he had "unfinished business" with them, according to John Gorman.
The former Swindon, Chelsea and Tottenham boss was a popular choice among the public to take over the reins again when Sam Allardyce was sacked in September after being caught on film advising how to get around FA transfer rules.
But Under-21 boss Gareth Southgate is the strong favourite to land the role on a permanent basis after being named interim boss of the senior side.
Scotsman Gorman was Hoddle's right-hand man when he was in charge of the Three Lions between May 1996 and January 1999.
Renowned for his forward-thinking and innovative tactical brain, England had a definitive style under the ex-midfield playmaker.
His side were unlucky to lose to Argentina on penalties in the 1998 World Cup finals when Michael Owen burst onto the scence and David Beckham was sent off.
But the pair were sacked in the wake of comments made by born-again Christian Hoddle in a newspaper interview about the disabled paying for "sins from a previous life", which the Spurs legend insisted were misinterpreted.
But Gorman said: "Glenn would have wanted the job if given the opportunity again.
"England would have been the big one for him. He definitely had unfinished business with them because he was unjustly sacked. It was a ridiculous. It was over nothing.
"They all realise now how good he was but it wasn't to be and he will be the first one to wish Gareth well and be there if he ever needed it."
Southgate, 46, initially said he was not interested in the England job when Roy Hodgson left in the wake of the Euro 2016 debacle.
Keep up to date with ALL the latest football news, gossip, transfers and goals on our club page plus fixtures, results and live match commentary by clicking here
But he was installed as caretaker boss in September as Allardyce was given the boot after just one game in charge.
Former Middlesbrough boss Southgate's long-term future remains unclear although victory over Scotland tomorrow will go a long way to deciding his fate
Gorman, who also worked alongside Hoddle at Swindon and Spurs, insists he will be a good choice to lead the nation and added: "Gareth Southgate was a player for England when I was there with Glenn.
"He was a fantastic player, a great player, great captain and a leader of men and I am so pleased for him to get this opportunity.
"Results will dictate whether he gets the job permanently but at the minute he is in the driving seat and there doesn't seem to be anyone else.
"I can't see any reason for him not to get it – apart from when Scotland beat them!"
Gorman, 67, has still not been forgiven by some of his fellow countrymen for taking the assistant's job for the Auld Enemy.
But despite some hostility in his homeland, he will be cheering on Gordon Strachan's men when they face England at Wembley tomorrow.
Ex-Swindon and Wycombe boss Gorman, who has coached the likes of Three Lions stars Adam Lallana and Dele Alli in his career, added: "Yes, I want Scotland to win. I worked with England and they were my football team at the time but now I am quite happy if Scotland win.
"I was lucky I was never involved in an England v Scotland game when I was with them.
"Even to this day some Scottish people don't hold me in high esteem because of my role there.
"I was a professional, it was a great opportunity. I was fine with English fans but some Scots didn't like it."
England are strong favourites to put another nail in Scotland's hopes of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup finals in Russia.
But Gorman, who retired from football in 2012 and recently had a pacemaker fitted, warned: "England are definitely favourites but the Scottish team do raise their game for it as do the fans, a shock can definitely happen.
"Scotland will be there in their thousands, more there than what there is supposed to be. They love going to Wembley.
"The danger for England is everyone expects them to win. The pressure is on them."

If you've got a spot, your skin might be trying to tell you something
Sadly, even the best of us get spots from time to time – but more often than not, they're trying to tell us something. Face mapping is the art (for want of a better word) of working out why your skin has broken out based on the location of said spots.
So if you've just been tutting at your pimples and then smothering them with the best spot treatments and a load of concealer, you might have been missing vital information that your skin is trying to communicate.
Apparently your spots actually come with a message, and the key to decoding is where on your face they're appearing; here's how to use face mapping to get rid of them.
What do spots between your eyebrows mean?
Getting spots between your eyebrows is usually related to stress, or puberty. Stress can make your T-zone oily, blocking pores and causing spots (which probably make you even more stressed. Fun). Spots between your eyebrows could also be a sign that you've had a lot of alcohol recently – so great news if you've stuck to dry January, as your skin should be clearing up soon.
What do spots on your forehead mean?
This area is probably breaking out because of your diet. Unfortunately for those of us who like a late night burger on the way home, eating foods that are packed with saturated fats (we're talking deep fried food rather than avocado here) will result in spots on your forehead. Drinking more water and staying hydrated are also thought to help with spots on your forehead.
What do spots on your temples mean?
Spots on your temples are likely to be caused by dehydration, which is easily cured by drinking a lot more water. Try reducing your salt and caffeine intake while you're at it.
What do spots on your cheeks mean?
The chances are the culprit is your phone, or more specifically the millions of bacteria that are happily living on the screen. Think about it, you touch it all day, keep it in your handbag and put it down on random surfaces. It can also be down to eating too much meat, sugar and dairy, stress or respiratory problems, so if you're a smoker, you're out of luck.
What do spots on your chin mean?
This area is often linked to hormones, so if you're stressed or ovulating, you'll most likely break out in this area. Make sure you're getting enough sleep and lots of water, and try to integrate some of these ways to bust stress into your daily or weekly routines.
Latest Stories
Spots on your chin could also signify that your diet hasn't been so hot recently, so try upping your fruit, veg and water intake in a bid to get those spots to shift.
The good news is that all these problem areas have an easy fix thanks to face mapping. You can easily tackle them by drinking more water, eating more vegetables and keeping your skin clean. The bad news is that a lot of it is the exact advice your mum gave you as a teenager…

Traveling Abroad With Your Baby
If making a trip across town with a small child seems like a daunting task, imagine making a trip halfway across the world. For many parents, the thought of traveling internationally with an infant is not only intimidating, but downright terrifying. Even if you were a seasoned traveler before, traveling with a baby changes the entire game. The good news is, many parents have attempted overseas travel with their children in tow with great success. The key is having a plan.
Travel Insurance
One lesson parenthood teaches us is that if something unexpected can happen, chances are it will. Kids become ill at the most inopportune times and if you are thousands of miles away from home, this can quickly escalate into a scary situation. Check your current medical coverage to see if it covers international travel and medical repatriation should someone in your party become seriously ill during your trip. If not, be sure to purchase travel insurance that covers medical expenses, evacuations, and the cost of your trip due to cancellation.
Child Restraint Systems
When traveling with a child under two years of age, check your airline's policy on traveling with infants. Many airlines will allow children under two to travel for free on an adult's lap. On international flights, you may be required to pay a small fee, a percentage of an adult fare ticket, and/or applicable taxes. While this could save money, it may not be worth it in the long run. During long flights lasting more than several hours, the stress of having to hold your baby the entire time may leave both of you frazzled by the end of the trip. In addition, because of safety reasons such as severe turbulence or a crash, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) strongly encourages parents to purchase a seat for their child and use an FAA-approved child restraint system (CSR) or an FAA-approved harness restraint.
Getting Through Security
Trying to maneuver your way through security can often be the most stressful part of the trip. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is required to screen everyone that goes through a security checkpoint, even babies. First, arrive at the airport early, allowing yourself plenty of time. Have one person designated as the ticket holder and keep everyone's tickets and passports together. Remember, when traveling internationally everyone, including your child, must have a passport. If one parent is traveling with a child alone, they must have a notarized letter of consent from the other parent.
Consider investing in a stroller that is lightweight (for international flights, strollers must be less than 15 pounds), easy to carry, and can be opened with one hand. This item can be checked at the gate before you board and will be waiting for you when you disembark the plane. Children must be removed from their carrier or stroller and these items must be placed on the belt to be x-rayed. All carry-on items such as diaper bags, blankets, and stuffed animals must also go through the x-ray machine. TSA does allow parents to bring formula, breast milk, and juice through the checkpoint as long as you separate these items from other liquids you are carrying, tell the security officer that you have these items, and allow additional inspection if needed. If you still have concerns, check out TSA's website for more tips on traveling with children.
What to Pack
A carry-on packed with essential items can be a lifesaver. Make sure your bag is easy to carry and adheres to the airline's size and weight regulations. Keeping your bag well-organized will also make it easy to reach in and grab a necessary item, such as:
- Baby wipes and diapers – pack at least 1 diaper per hour for every hour you will be traveling plus a few extra in the event of a delay.
- Disposable diaper pads – you may run into a situation where the only place available to change your baby is on a dirty floor.
- Comfort items such as pacifiers or a favorite toy.
- Sippy cups or bottle
- Finger foods if your child is able to feed themselves.
- Extra change of clothes – Accidents will happen. It's a wise idea to pack at least three sets of clothes for both you and baby in your carry on.
- Over-the-counter medication – these items a permissible through security as long as they are three ounces or less and packed in a resealable plastic bag.
- Blankets – you have no control over how hot or cold the airplane will be. Blankets can also draped over your child's CRS to block out light while sleeping.
- Toys – whatever you bring has to entertain for the duration of the trip, so try to introduce each item one at a time.

Precision hair removal
A pair of tweezers is precise but it's also slow and laborious, locating each individual hair and then trying to grab it. The messy, painful, hit-and-miss approach of waxing can mean that individual hairs are left behind, becoming even more conspicuous. Shaving requires water and soap, is time-consuming, can leave stubble or grey patches, especially under your arms, and needs repeating every couple of days! Epilation is proven to be the most effective way to remove hairs for longer because it takes the whole hair out from the root but doesn't require you to locate and manually grab each hair, one at a time. PLUS, the results last for weeks!

text: In [4] the Kato square root problem for second order complex uniformly elliptic operators of the form L = -div(A del f), with only bounded and measurable coefficients, was solved. The solution is a consequence of a square function estimate for the operator (1 + lambda L-2)(-1)lambda L. This and related square function estimates have recently spurred a wave of new and ground breaking results in the area of elliptic PDEs. In this paper we establish similar square function estimates for second order parabolic operators in Rn+1 of the form at partial derivative(t) + L paving the way for important developments in the area of parabolic PDEs.

This was project I shot for both the designer and and a really great company that I have been lucky enough to work with a few times now. I have to say it is so cool to work with such amazing people, with a design like this it is hard to make a bad photograph. Not to mention in this case the designer is very visual and has great ideas about how to best show off the space. Interior design is fun to shoot because it is collaborative, everyone there becomes a team focused on the same goal, to get great shots.
A truism of shooting architectural photography and interior design or decor is that wide angle lenses introduce distortion. The closer to the center of the frame the less distortion and as you get farther to the sides the distortion can get quite bad. One trick is to keep objects out of the far corners where you are likely to see lens distortion. Another trick is to stay away from wide angle lenses when at all possible. It is always better to back up as far as possible and use a longer lens. I used that technique on all of these images. In this kitchen for example, the camera was pushed up to the window on the window ledge. The only way to get farther back would be to shoot through a window, which I do rather often. of getting as far back as possible to use a longer lens and get a distortion-free shot. The farther back I get the longer lens I can use, or if I have plenty of pixels, I can crop off the distortion. A long lens is part of the solution but 99% of my architectural photography shots are done with special architectural lenses called perspective correction or tilt/shift lenses, combining these two techniques keeps all of the vertical lines parallel and insures great big files that can be blown up and used for huge prints. I have been lucky enough to see several of my standard images made into huge billboards and they still look nice and crisp blown up huge.
A wide angle lens on this shot would have made the space artificially long and made the foreground elements huge so again I pulled the camera waaaay back and then added an extender to my tilt/shift lens. The 1.4 extender made by Canon has the effect of making the lens less wide without sacrificing much quality. It is a common technique to architectural photographers. It always pays off in better images because it feels more like the way we experience being in the room.
I really love this space, the way the architectural geometric forms play against the organic forms of the chairs. The balance of the warm wood herringbone with the warm tones in the furnishings. The soft rounded shapes playing against the angular and the playful quality of the textures and colors of the textiles. I think If I save my pennies, I should be able to move in soon. I could get used to the view of the Philadelphia skyline. Let me know if you have any questions or comments. Perhaps you have an architectural or interior design you need photographed? Drop me a line, I would be glad to provide a free quote. To see more images, including of this project click here.

"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them." (Ezekiel 36:26-27)
Father, thank You for the promise of Your Word that You will remove my heart of stone and give me a heart of flesh so that I might follow You and obey You wholeheartedly. May I not grow weary in crying out to You until Your Holy Spirit is poured out on me and my desert places. Forgive me, Father, for allowing the noise of this world to hold my attention, distracting me in my pursuit of You. O God, do not remove the lampstand of Your Presence from me! I choose to return to You, my first love. Lord Ignite, once again, the consuming fire of Your Presence in my heart.

Preventing corruption and promoting public Ethics
Corruption continues to pose a major threat to local and regional governance and democracy in Europe, which governments and parliaments at all levels urgently need to address. To tackle this challenge using the whole range of its activities and tools, and send a clear signal of its intention to make this a priority activity, the Congress has adopted at its 31st session a "Roadmap of activities for preventing corruption and promoting public ethics at local and regional levels".
This comprehensive and long-term approach has several objectives:
- to deepen the understanding of the various risks and forms of corruption that exist at the local and regional levels;
- to provide European local and regional governments with a set of principles and standards of conduct, through the revision of the 1999 European Code of Conduct on the political integrity of local and regional elected representatives;
- to strengthen its cooperation activities and elaborate continuous training programmes for elected representatives and public officials in targeted countries.
On 19 October 2016, Congress adopted a Road map of activities for preventing corruption and promoting public ethics at local and regional levels, based on three objectives:
- a better understanding of the risks of corruption through the preparation of thematic reports;
- the revision and extension of the scope of the European Code of Conduct;
- the implementation of cooperation activities.
As part of the road map, the Congress adopted the following thematic reports, prepared by the Governance Committee:
- Adopted reports
- The misuse of administrative resources during electoral processes (October 2016);
- Making public procurement transparent at local and regional levels (October 2017)
- Transparency and open government (November 2018)
- Conflict of interest at local and regional levels (November 2018)
- The protection of whistleblowers (April 2019)
- Fighting nepotism within local and regional authorities (April 2019)
- Management of change: a tool guide for local and regional authorities
- Stewart DICKSON: "We must continue to raise awareness about misuse of administrative resources and its threat for the fairness of elections"
- Tirana : the Congress to take part in a Seminar on the misuse of administrative resources during election processes
- New Practical Guide: "Administrative resources and fair elections"
- Brussels: the Congress and the European Committee of the Regions organise a joint conference on the prevention of corruption

About XMR / Monero
Learn all about XMR, from background to social media, similar coins, founders and more.
Monero Description
Monero (XMR) is a cryptonight algorithm based alternative crypto currency. The coin is based on Proof of Work and has a block reward that varies smoothly. The difficulty retargets every block with a sixty second block target.
Monero uses a Ring Signature system to protect your privacy, allowing users to make untraceable transactions.
Monero Features
- Privacy (Untraceable payments, Unlinkable transactions)
Monero daemon uses the original CryptoNote protocol except for the initial changes (as the block time and emission speed). The protocol itself is based on ring signatures (Daniel J. Bernstein's Curve25519 + Ed25519, Schnorr signatures on a Twisted Edwards curve) and stealth addresses. The end result is passive, decentralised mixing based on heavily-tested algorithms.
- Decentralisation
The smart mining[20] forthcoming feature will allow transparent CPU mining on the user's computer, far from the de facto centralization of mining farms and pool mining, pursuing Satoshi Nakamoto's original vision of a true p2p currency.
- Scalability
Monero has no hardcoded limit, which means it doesn't have a 1 MB block size limitation preventing scalability.
Monero Technology
Ring Signature
The Basics
In cryptography, a ring signature is a type of digital signature that can be performed by any member of a group of users that each have keys. Therefore, a message signed with a ring signature is endorsed by someone in a particular group of people. One of the security properties of a ring signature is that it should be computationally infeasible to determine which of the group members' keys was used to produce the signature.
For instance, a ring signature could be used to provide an anonymous signature from "a high-ranking White House official", without revealing which official signed the message. Ring signatures are right for this application because the anonymity of a ring signature cannot be revoked, and because the group for a ring signature can be improvised (requires no prior setup).
Application to Monero
A ring signature makes use of your account keys and a number of public keys (also known as outputs) pulled from the blockchain using a triangular distribution method. Over the course of time, past outputs could be used multiple times to form possible signer participants. In a "ring" of possible signers, all ring members are equal and valid. There is no way an outside observer can tell which of the possible signers in a signature group belongs to your account. So, ring signatures ensure that transaction outputs are untraceable. Moreover, there are no fungibility issues with Monero given that every transaction output has plausible deniability (e.g. the network can not tell which outputs are spent or unspent).
To read how Monero gives you privacy by default (unlinkability), see stealth addresses.

Heel Pain is Often Caused by Plantar Fasciitis
If your heel or the bottom of your foot hurts when you stand or walk - especially when first getting out of bed in the morning - then you may have plantar fasciitis.
Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot beginning at your heel bone, and is the most common cause of heel pain. This tissue gets inflamed due to overuse, or repeated stretching and even tearing. When this occurs you will feel gradually increasing numbness, burning or pain which can ultimately be severe.
This type of injury is very common in runners or those who play sports that involve a lot of jumping like basketball and gymnastics. But you don't have to be an athlete to be at risk for this painful condition. Individuals with a high arch, who are overweight, who wear poorly-fitting or worn-out footwear or who stand on hard surfaces for long periods of time are also susceptible to plantar fasciitis.
You may have heard of a heel spur that is often present along with plantar fasciitis. Up to 50% of those with plantar fasciitis will also have a heel spur, although it may not cause pain in and of itself. Heel spurs don't usually require treatment on their own.
Treating Heel Pain Caused by Plantar Fasciitis
Sometimes this condition goes away by itself but it usually worsens and can result in chronic heel pain that will prevent you from continuing your usual activities. There is another problem that can develop - as you unconsciously change your gait because of the pain from walking, you will also be at risk of developing foot, knee, back or hip problems.
If you have pain that you suspect may be plantar fasciitis or any other symptoms of heel pain, please come see us at the Podiatry Group of Annapolis, P.A. Based on your individual circumstances, we will apply the following treatments:
- Rest your foot and apply ice frequently.
- Anti-inflammatory medication with your doctor's approval to reduce inflammation and ease your pain.
- Wearing a night splint to keep the calf and the foot's arch stretched.
- Custom-fitted orthotics that redistribute the pressure on your foot to stop the tissue from tearing.
- Physical therapy to strengthen lower leg muscles and stretch the Achilles tendon, toes and plantar fascia.
- Steroid injection to reduce pain and inflammation.
In those rare cases that don't respond to these treatments, we will discuss surgical options with you.
Don't Suffer from Heel Pain - We Can Help!
Dr. James M. McKee, DPM, board certified podiatrist at the Podiatry Group of Annapolis, P.A. has the right experience to relieve heel pain and heal plantar fasciitis or any other heel pain cause. Please call us at 410-224-4448 to make an appointment at our office in Annapolis, MD. You can also request an appointment at the website. Don't wait any longer - give us a call today!

Ok – I've spent a lot of time trying to learn to cut dovetails by hand. I could probably make a small tree out of all the cutoffs and little socket pieces that I've made. So now its time to dive into it and make a real project, a box, of course. Now here's my problem – I've been cutting and cutting and chopping and chopping with no real thought on inside/outside/up/down etc. as to the actual work pieces.
I've got my four sides picked out and have marked the inside faces and top edges and marked left/right/front/back.
Tail boards are the sides and pin boards are the front and back.
Step 1: Cut the tail boards (assuming the marking is done of course) Question 1: I've been assuming that you cut the tail board with the inside facing me – is that right?
Step 2: Transfer your marks to the pin board. Question 2: If you are going to put the pin board in your vice so it is upright and then lay your tail board onto it's edge – do you put the tail board's face down? Question 3: Do you put the pin board's face towards me or away?
Step 3: Cut the pins. Question 4: Do you cut the pins with the inside of the board towards me or away?
I'm not going to tax myself too much and try to make a grooved bottom at this point. I'm going to use a slab for the top and bottom and make it a simple lift off lid.
Question 5: When you make a box with dovetails——does the flow of the grain matter as much as when you are mitering a box? I ask this as I figure if the joint does not fit – I'll remark a new set of pin boards and try again.
Question 6: When you glue your joint – do you glue only the long grain or all three sides of each socket? Seems to me that all three sides would be inviting a lot of extra squeeze out that you probably don't need. But not sure so I thought I'd ask.
Question 7: (I know I'm full of questions.) On box joints you generally leave the joint a little proud of the surface to give you a little wiggle room and then level the surface after everything is set. Do you do this when you make dovetail joints also? (I've had occassion in classes to make some dovetails by machine and we did not leave them proud – but was not sure if you do the same when you hand cut the joint.) I've been cutting them to fit right on the surface and not proud (or I should say, that's what I've been shooting for).
Thanks for your help. I'll blog about my progress.

In April, just a month before Punjab National Bank (PNB) reported a Rs 13,417-crore fourth-quarter net loss — the biggest ever by an Indian lender — the state-run bank's Managing Director Sunil Mehta declared the "worst is behind us".
This expression — "the worst is behind us" — has been repeatedly deployed by bank chiefs to assuage both deposit holders and investors, despite steadily rising bad loans. After staying below the Rs 1 lakh-crore mark between FY06 and FY11, gross NPAs of banks surged to cross Rs 1.4 lakh crore by March 2012. Since then, gross NPAs have risen over six times to cross Rs 7.9 lakh crore till March 2017. Yet, bank chiefs kept claiming there was little to worry.
On this count, the heads of the State Bank of India — India's largest bank that accounts for more than a fifth of the country's banking assets — are arguably the worst offenders. At least four SBI chiefs have persistently resorted to this assurance over the last eight years.
In February this year, even as SBI, amid increased pressure of stressed assets, reported its first quarterly loss in 17 years for the three months ended December 2017, the bank's management claimed that the bad loans had topped out. "Stressed assets as a percentage of total loans is coming down. A large chunk is now being recognised as NPAs (Non-Performing Assets). The remaining stress will be taken care of in the March quarter. If you ask whether it has peaked, yes," said SBI Chairman Rajnish Kumar in a post-results press conference on February 8.
'The worst is over', PSU bank chiefs kept saying as NPAs climbed steadily
March quarter, primarily due to a surge in provisions — the second highest quarterly loss figure reported by any bank after PNB's record Rs 13,417 crore loss reported for the March quarter.
Three years ago, on August 12, 2015, announcing the results for the first quarter of FY16, then SBI chairperson Arundhati Bhattacharya indicated that the worst was behind the bank in terms of large bad loans and that slippages were largely in small businesses. She repeated this on August 13, 2016, at a results conference: "The worst is behind us when it comes to stressed assets. But let me warn you that the recovery will be slow and staggered as all those accounts marked in the watchlist display stress," Bhattacharya told reporters in Mumbai.
Two-and-a-half years before this, on February 13, 2012, when the bank's profits grew despite an increase of over Rs 1,300 crore in loan loss provision and an over Rs 800-crore depreciation in investment on account of losses in the equity portfolio, Pratip Chaudhuri, then chairman, asserted that the bank is back on a consistent growth path. Again, that the "worst is over".
"We think the worst is over with regard to NPAs. NPAs have plateaued. The biggest hit was from one aviation company, which accounted for about Rs 1,200 crore of the NPAs. But we could expect some improvement in the sector following the proposal to allow FDI and direct import of fuel," Chaudhuri had said at the results press conference in Mumbai.
On May 26, 2010, SBI's then chief O P Bhatt repeated that the "worst is over" in terms of its rising bad debts, which had then dragged down its net profit by over 30 per cent in the fourth quarter of FY'10. "The worst is over," chairman O P Bhatt was quoted as having told reporters, when asked about the bank's NPA levels at the sidelines of an RBI event in Mumbai that day.
In response to a mail sent by The Sunday Express on his statement, Chaudhuri said, "It was a good six years ago. I do not recollect details."
Chaudhuri, who had launched a big clean-up drive after he took over in April 2011, set aside funds both for bad assets as well as to meet the bank's pension liabilities. There was a surge in gross and net NPAs over the 10 quarters that Chaudhuri was at the helm, with gross NPAs growing in eight out of 10 quarters and net NPAs in seven of them.
Bhattacharya and Bhatt could not be contacted for comments. A former bank chief, on condition of anonymity, however, said the disclosures not keeping pace with the actual losses can be partly attributed to the Reserve Bank of India progressively tightening the norms for resolution of stressed loans.
In the case of PNB, Mehta's "the worst is beind us" comment, in an interview to PTI on April 8 this year, echoed what one of his predecessors had claimed nearly four years ago.
In the bank's FY'14 third quarter earning call on January 31, 2014, then CMD K R Kamath said, "So a stress on an asset quality is directly related to what is happening in an economy and what's happening in some of these sectors… I have never contributed to a statement saying that we have peaked out on this because again, I say that peaking out is a relative term. Having said that, I would say that we are in control of the situation and you should look forward for a similar performance from us in the coming quarters," Kamath had said then.
While the regulator's tightening of norms has had an impact on banks, the declaration of fresh NPAs clearly follows a pattern. "Management transition is the biggest issue with PSU banks. In the past, we have seen banks reporting very good set of numbers by outgoing CMDs (mainly in the last two quarters). The trend reverses when new management is in place. Therefore, we will not extrapolate from the first quarter numbers," Religare Capital Markets said in a recent research note.
Going forward, it might get more difficult to do so. In the wake of a fresh directive from the Finance Ministry, public sector banks have now been asked to conduct forensic audits on all loan accounts above Rs 50 crore for any possible fraud. After completion of the audits, the banks will prepare details of accounts that could potentially turn into NPAs, which will then be shared with the government and investigative agencies.
