- New Hyundai 'Fluidic' Elantra 1.6 CRDi MT Road Test
Hyundai Elantra - Introduction
In many ways, the new Hyundai Elantra is the Korean car-maker's most significant model globally. To put it in context, you need to understand that the Neo Fluidic Elantra takes on the big guns, viz. the Toyota Corolla and the Honda Civic, in that most competitive market of them all – North America. It's a battle that Hyundai desperately wants to win, and so has thrown in all the delectable ingredients, including premium styling, a feature-rich cabin and wide variety of powertrain options. The same recipe for success applies in India too, and for our market, Hyundai has gone one step further, offering the new Elantra with a 1.6-litre CRDi diesel engine. This is the model we drove, with a manual transmission, in the highest-spec SX trim.
The new Elantra is available in a total of seven variants, three petrol and four diesel, with automatic transmission being offered on the highest-spec SX trim for both petrol and diesel.
Hyundai Elantra - Design & Engineering
Hyundai has cottoned on early to the fact that car buyers are swayed by looks and styling. It's a valid point of view, and if any average Joe in a car dealership tells you otherwise, don't believe him. To my eyes, the Neo Fluidic Elantra is the best exponent of Hyundai's eye-catching design language, in proportion and in detail. The swooping curves and sharp ridges that define Hyundai's 'Fluidic' design are well executed. The new Sonata, which was launched before the Elantra, doesn't quite carry it off with the same élan, and that's because the details do not match the proportions. With the Elantra, Hyundai's design team has got this car's styling almost perfect. The 2,700 mm wheelbase avoids large overhangs, with a 4,530 mm overall length proving this fact. This car has a wide stance too, and on the road proves to be truly eye-catching, whether parked beside a kerb or on the move.
To put this fact in context, Volkswagen's Jetta appears almost anonymous when stacked against the smaller Vento or the larger Passat. Not so in Hyundai's case, with all three sedans from the Verna to the Elantra to the Sonata all boasting their own unique character.
The new Hyundai Elantra has heated ORVMs and parking sensors on all variants. Anti-pinch windows are an added safety feature.
The Elantra doesn't break any new ground when it comes to its construction, with a conventional monocoque chassis, McPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear axle. The Elantra has gas-filled shock absorbers at all four corners, which helps with body control, but more on that later.
autojunction.in was the first to predict that Hyundai would use the 1.6 diesel engine from the Verna, and our crystal ball gazing has held to be true. The new Elantra also has the option of a 1.8-litre petrol engine, but we suspect that it won't be the more popular choice of the two. Six-speed manual and 6-speed automatic gearboxes are offered with both petrol and diesel engines, although the automatics are offered in the range-topping SX trim only.
Hyundai Elantra - Interiors & Comfort
Step inside the new Hyundai Elantra, and you instantly know this is a Hyundai. The Fluidic theme continues in the cabin, with a swooping dashboard and heavily stylised centre console. The blue backlighting, dual-tone beige and dark brown cabin and the faux metal inserts are all Hyundai signature design cues. It does appear overdone, but in no way can Hyundai be accused of making boring interiors. We suspect this surfeit of detail and wide range of features also appeals to buyers, who liken it to being expensive and premium.
The front seats of the new Elantra are spacious and comfortable, and the SX version we drove had a ten-way power-adjustable driver's seat with adjustable lumbar support as well, making it easy to find a comfortable driving position. The SX variants also get leather upholstery and ventilated seats, which we put to good use in the humid weather.
The steering adjusts for both reach and rake, and so the flexibility offered will suit drivers of varying stature. That said, the deep dashboard will pose a challenge for shorter drivers. The thick A-pillar and large mirrors also cause a reasonably large blind spot, which is disconcerting in tight traffic in urban conditions.
Rear seat is plush, but you sit low in the cabin. Rear AC vents add to comfort.
The Elantra's rear seat, which is far more important in India, is plush but you tend to sit low. Combined with the rising beltline, it lends a hemmed-in feeling for rear passengers. The reclined back rest and soft cushioning adds to the feeling of plushness, but you will feel the need to get out and stretch on longer drives. The rear AC vents and the built-in remote control in the flip-down arm-rest are for the fat cats who will prefer to be chauffer driven rather than take the wheel of the new Elantra.
Clockwise from top left: Rear-view camera is offered on top-end SX variant; manua varaints get shift indicator; full-suite audio connectivity with remote in rear armrest ensures optimum comfort and convenience.
Hyundai Elantra - Performance & Handling
The 1.6-litre CRDi diesel powerplant sends its power to the Elantra's front wheels, driving through a 6-speed manual gearbox. This engine is exactly the same as the one which powers the Verna, putting out 128 PS of power and 260 Nm of torque. It's the torque which is of particular interest here, providing the Elantra with strong mid-range performance and overtaking prowess. Hyundai has balanced the clutch action nicely as well, and while there is a slight heaviness in the take-up, it is a progressive and tactile experience while doing so. The gearbox has long throws however, and this spoils the experience somewhat. You can't go snick-snick in the Elantra the same way you might a Honda Civic, which has the best gearshift in this class. But we didn't miss any shifts, even while doing acceleration runs, so overall we can say we're happy. We had a brief drive in the automatic version as well, and while you enjoy the convenience of the automatic transmission, it does not respond with the same verve that we're used to now thanks to dual-clutch direct-shift gearboxes. The torque converter conventional automatic tech in the Elantra is very smooth, but the overriding electronics have been tuned more for smoothness and fuel efficiency than for quick performance.
The balance between ride and handling is a critical indicator of a car's engineering, and the new Hyundai Elantra acquits itself adequately in this regard, if not scoring very high marks. That's because there's a choppiness to the ride at speed, which takes away from ride comfort and confidence behind the wheel simultaneously. The Elantra is not a car which you want to hustle around corners, nor is it especially plush-riding either, and so we must dock it some points. Body control is significantly better than the smaller Verna though, even though this is a bigger car.
There's a curious sensation over rough terrain or on roads with camber changes, suggesting the suspension damping is insufficient, while the longer springs and softer spring rates give it a 'loose' feel and grip.
The brakes however are very strong and confidence inspiring, and the ABS works really well. We drove the Elantra over a wet-dry spell for a couple of days, and were extremely pleased with the car's braking performance.
Hyundai Elantra - Fuel Efficiency
Sip, sip, sip is the mantra of our times, and given the way fuel prices are zooming northward, fuel efficiency often becomes the primary consideration when saying 'yay' or 'nay' to a new car purchase. Our test, which combined city and highway traffic, plus some acceleration runs, yielded a real-world figure of 13.8 km/l, which is very good. With a light foot and generous use of sixth gear on the highway, it may be possible to wring twenty kilometres out of every litre of diesel.
Hyundai Elantra - Safety
One big positive of a car being built to the exacting demands of the North American market is the effect on safety and safety systems. In the new Hyundai Elantra, you get ABS with EBD and two front airbags as standard on all variants. The SX variant gets electronic stability program (ESP) and side and curtain airbags too, making for one very safe car.
Hyundai Elantra - Verdict
No matter what anybody says, the ultimate verdict is always delivered by the market, and in Hyundai's case, the Elantra has proven to be a winner, with a substantial order book, following on from the success of the smaller Verna mid-size sedan. The executive sedan market is getting increasingly crowded, and despite being a late entry to the segment, Hyundai has zoomed ahead of the competition, overtaking even the mighty Toyota Corolla Altis.
And you can see why.
The new Hyundai Elantra is available in a total of 7 variants, spanning a wide price range from Rs 12.9 lakhs to Rs 16.3 lakhs, ex-showroom, Kolkata. The 1.6 SX MT we drove retails for Rs 15.3 lakh, ex-showroom (the AT is a lakh rupees more). For the money, you get a stylish car with all the modern appointments you could hope for, a feature-rich cabin with all the toys and good fuel efficiency. Hyundai's widespread service network adds to the peace of mind factor too. The Elantra isn't perfect, and there are arguably better engineered cars to choose from within the segment, but like I said right at the start, I suspect it will be the appealing styling which will ultimately swing customers in favour of the new Elantra. Hyundai is truly a car company on the move in India, and the winners it has been placing in each segment could see it challenge Maruti for the top spot very soon.

History, past, precedent, call it what you will, the fact remains that India and Indians continue to view Hyundai as a maker of small cars. All has been hunky-dory in the B and C segments, but the marketplace hasn't caught on fire with the car-maker's other offerings. With the Santa Fe, all that could change
Hyundai's new Eon is a significant car for the Korean manufacturer, and a model which marks a new strategy and approach to the Indian market. For the first time in its illustrious history in India, will there be two products from its stable competing at a similar price point. The new Hyundai Eon is slightly cheaper than its Santro stable mate, but the two cars' prices overlap across the range. But let's not judge the Eon that way, and instead let's look at it independently.
With an all new-fluidic styling and first-in-segment features that should help in prolonging the shelf life of this premium hatchback in India, the new Hyundai i-Gen i20 has been launched in 12 variants (seven petrol and five diesel) and six colour options.
In many ways, the new Hyundai Elantra is the Korean car-maker's most significant model globally. To put it in context, you need to understand that the Neo Fluidic Elantra takes on the big guns, viz. the Toyota Corolla and the Honda Civic, in that most competitive market of them all – North America. It's a battle that Hyundai desperately wants to win, and so has thrown in all the delectable ingredients, including premium styling, a feature-rich cabin and wide variety of powertrain options.
Hyundai has designs on becoming the No 1 car-maker in India. To usurp Maruti's throne, Hyundai knows it has to fight in the compact segment, which is where the Grand i10 comes in. Smartly positioned between the existing i10 and i20, the new Grand i10 will form the fifth hatchback model from Hyundai. We drive this latest hatchback car, to give you the complete lowdown of how it performs.
Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has launched the third generation Santa Fe at the 2014 Delhi Auto Expo. The refreshed Hyundai Santa Fe is available in a single engine option - the third generation 2.2-litre CRDi engine equipped with e-VGT turbocharger with prices starting from Rs 2,630,000 for the 2WD MT and going up to Rs 2,925,000 for the 4WD AT, (ex-showroom, Delhi).
We told you Hyundai would be making a compact sedan version of the Grand i10; we told you it would be cheaper than both the Dzire and the Amaze, and we told you it would reprise the ccentnameplate. Well, wee finally gotten behind the wheel of the new Hyundai Xcent to bring you a complete, in-depth road test of the latest challenger in the compact sedan market.
In order to further strengthen its position in this segment, Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has introduced the 1.0-litre Kappa engine for Eon priced at Rs 3.94 lakh (ex-showroom Kolkata). The new 1.0-litre Eon is being offered along with the existing 0.8-litre Eon range and will be available in a single Magna+ trim only for the time being.
Adjectives aside, the new Elite i20 from Hyundai is an all-new car, designed and engineered to take on the biggest global brands in the ultra-competitive hatchback market. We give it the thorough road test treatment to see how the new i20 stacks up.
Four years ago, when Hyundai first launched the new luidicVerna in India, it did the seemingly impossible: knocked the Honda City off its perch as the king of the C segment. The King is Dead, Long Live the King. But that history; today C-segment cars have taken the game to the next level, and Hyundai is the one who fallen behind. We drive the ewVerna, and see if it good enough to beat the best in what is now an extremely competitive and crowded segment of the Indian car market.
Korean carmaker Hyundai has recently launched its much awaited compact SUV Creta with prices starting from Rs 8.60 lakh for the base petrol and Rs 9.46 lakh for the base diesel (ex-showroom, New Delhi).
Hyundai Motor India Limited has launched the much awaited, all new Elantra last month with introductory prices (ex-showroom Delhi) starting from Rs 12.99 lakh for the base petrol and Rs 14.79 lakh for the base diesel variants. Last week, we took the 2016 Hyundai Elantra for a spin on the East Coast Road near Chennai. Read on to find out what we discovered.
Hyundai Motor India Ltd. has launched its global SUV The All New Tucson in India consolidating its SUV line-up for the Indian customers. With over 4.5 million units sold across 160 markets worldwide in 12 years, the Tucson is Hyundais best-selling SUV in the world. The launch of 3rd Generation Tucson in India is an important milestone for the Korean carmaker, and is likely to propel Hyundai to market leadership in the SUV segment.

Global and Indian organizations have been under intense regulatory scrutiny on account of potential lapses in compliance or corporate governance, and an influx of fraud, bribery and corruption cases. Enforcement action has stepped with regulators such the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), UK's Serious Fraud Office and Financial Services Authority, European Anti-Fraud Office and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) taking the lead through prosecutions and fines. EY's 15th Global Fraud Survey found that despite regulators and law enforcement agencies around the world imposing more than US$11b of financial penalties since 2012, 38% of global executives still believe bribery and corrupt practices remain prevalent in business.
Enhancing disclosure levels in India
Over the last one year, SEBI has taken a number of steps to enhance transparency, protect shareholder interests, address corporate governance gaps, non-disclosure and other concerns in listed companies. Some of these include tighter insider trading norms, bifurcation of Chairman and CEO/MD roles, greater scrutiny of financial statements as well as cracking the whip on shell companies and delisting errant companies.
According to India's Companies (Amendment) Act 2015, auditors (statutory, cost accountants or branch auditors) of an organization have to flag an (actual or alleged) incident of fraud perpetrated by its officers or employee to either the audit committee or board or the central government (if the value of fraud is INR one crore and above). If a fraud has really occurred, the details need to be listed in the board's report with the description, amount, people involved and remedial action taken.
As per Schedule IV to Companies Act, 2013, independent directors need to report concerns about misconduct, unethical behaviour, fraud or non-compliance with the organization's code of conduct or code of ethics.
The revised clause 49 of the Listing Agreement mandates the audit committee to review the findings of any investigation conducted by internal auditors wherein the fraud or misappropriation is of "material nature" and subsequently report it to the board.
The impact of fraud in listed companies can have far reaching consequences. News reports show that close to one third of the Nifty companies received over 3500 whistle-blowing complaints last year, a rise from the year before which stood at about 3100 complaints. While this does give an overall sense of awareness and vigilance in corporate India, the fraud reporting pattern and transparency in disclosure needs to enhance as it is not really commensurate with these numbers.
EY Forensic conducted an analysis of 26 listed companies that have disclosed cases of fraud or unethical conduct. Key observations include:
- Employee fraud continues to be the major risk reported by organizations. Some of the common types included misappropriation of the organization's funds, embezzlement of assets and cash, and collusion with third parties or vendors.
- Disclosures were made by organizations across multiple sectors but incidents from the banking and financial services (BFS) sector were prominent. Regulators have taken note of the continued turmoil in the BFS space – the Reserve Bank of India has mandated reporting of fraud cases between INR 25 to 50 crores to the Central Bureau of Investigation's Banking Security and Fraud Cell. The Central Vigilance Commission has directed CBI's Anti-Corruption Branch handle (with evident staff involvement) cases and the Economic Offences Wing (employee involvement not evident) wherein the reported fraud is between INR 3 to 25 crores.
- In a majority of cases, fraud, malpractice or unethical behaviour came to light after the organization had either carried out an investigation or someone had blown the whistle
- Many organizations took action against the accused employee which included termination, police complaint, or even criminal or legal action. However, in a majority of cases, the action taken was not specified. This shows that India Inc. is still wary of prosecutions and legal tangles, and would rather just dismiss the perpetrator's services.
- Loss arising from the fraud ranged from INR 10 million to in some cases, INR 100 million
- In a majority of cases, only a partial amount was recovered and companies made a provision for the same. In a majority of cases, no disclosure was made on the amount of recovery.
- After the fraud was unearthed, many organizations conducted an investigation which was either done by forensic or third party experts, or by the police or law enforcement agencies. However, here too, a majority did not specify the type of investigation that was conducted.
Ethical dilemma for internal auditors
Incidentally, the amended provisions for reporting fraud under Companies Act or under the revised Listing Agreement do not cover the role of internal auditors in reporting frauds.
Internal auditors covered under Section 138 are not specified as persons who are required to report under Section 143(12). Further, Section 143(12) includes only fraud by officers or employees of the company and does not include fraud by third parties such as vendors and customers.
Internal auditors tend to face a dilemma when it comes to reporting incidents of fraud due to lack of clear guidelines as well as incoherent provisions. Some of the questions that may cross their minds include,
- When should they report the fraud and to whom?
- Should they report directly to the audit committee/board or they should report first to the CEO/management?
- Should they report all instances of fraud irrespective of value and nature of fraud? For example, should an expense claim inflated by INR 1000 by an employee be reported?
Instituting a Fraud Risk Management Policy
As a global best practice, companies should draft and adopt a formal Fraud Risk Management Policy. The policy, in addition to capturing the definition of frauds, roles and responsibilities for their prevention, detection and investigation, must also cover the reporting process based on materiality and other considerations. For example, frauds below a certain threshold can be reported to the management, followed by a summary being presented to the audit committee on a quarterly basis. However, if the matter involves a senior management employee then the same is to be reported to the audit committee irrespective of value.
The future of (self) reporting
The global fraud and corruption reporting landscape is relatively much more mature as compared to India. In the last two years, the DOJ announced several programs to encourage self-reporting – the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) Pilot Program and FCPA Corporate Entitlement Policy provide a set of incentives for self-disclosure of violations. Singapore has a number of self reporting regulations and guidance under Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Crimes (Confiscation of Benefits) Act and the Competition Act.
India Inc. is still evolving with respect to mandatory disclosures to be made to the regulators or exchanges. From a fraud reporting standpoint, there is still tremendous ground to cover before organizations, particularly listed entities turn truly proactive across the industry to report incidents of corporate or individual misconduct. Ethics and transparency are key elements here. It is only after that India Inc. can see the possibility of a shift from mandatory reporting to self-reporting, and augment shareholder, brand and monetary value.

Residential foreclosure rates have generally dropped to below what they were prior to the recession a decade ago, and they are continuing to fall. However, the good news doesn't extend to all states, including New Jersey.
On average nationwide in March of this year, there was a foreclosure filing on one out of every 1,604 homes. In New Jersey, by comparison, that number was one out of every 497. That gives our state the unfortunate distinction of having the highest foreclosure rate in the country. In further bad news, a year prior to that, in March 2016, we were at number three.
The ten states with the highest foreclosure rates included six others on the east coast, all the way from Connecticut to Florida. The number two spot was held by Maryland, which still had considerably few foreclosures than New Jersey -- one in every 820 homes.
We've previously discussed the impact of Hurricane Sandy on New Jersey's foreclosure rate. Many New Jersey homeowners are still struggling to recover from the financial devastation, including bankruptcy, caused by the damage to or complete destruction of their homes.
Earlier this year, Gov. Chris Christie signed a bill passed by the state legislature that could provide protection from foreclosure to thousands of Sandy victims. However, he was not, as he made clear, happy about it.
The ever-blunt governor said, "I have chosen to sign it to give Sandy victims the morsels of relief this vanity exercise of a bill offers." He described the bill as filled with "empty promises" and said "the executive branch will use our authority to provide real solutions based on facts, not emotion or political grandstanding."
A foreclosure can have a serious impact on your credit rating and your ability to obtain credit in the future. If you're facing foreclosure, it's essential to know all of the potential options that are available to you and to work to minimize the damage to your credit. An experienced New Jersey bankruptcy attorney can provide important guidance.

RPC Group has published its first Responsibility Report, setting out the company's approach to doing business responsibly for its stakeholders, including employees, customers, investors, suppliers, and the wider community and environment in which the business operates.
The report offers information and analysis on key areas of the group's business performance including managing its supply chain and its support for employees and local communities.
The report also provides a detailed look at the issues of plastic waste and how RPC is supporting initiatives to tackle this.
RPC has explored the use of renewable energy across the business and during the year, environmental initiatives across the group have seen a continued lowering in carbon emissions with improvements in both water and electricity usage per tonne during 2017/18.
The company says health and safety is a priority and the report covers many of the initiatives in this area, including an increase in safety training hours and hazards resolved per person, which have contributed to further improvements in the company's reportable accident frequency rate this year.
In addition, the report emphasises RPC's decentralised structure.
Initiatives in 2017/18 have included the company's new International Graduate Development programme and its cross-divisional Silver, Gold and Platinum programmes that aim to build the next generation of leaders for the company.
"Over the past five years our Vison 2020: Focused Growth Strategy has delivered revenue growth of 282 per cent and adjusted operating profit growth of 364 per cent," said Pim Vervaat, RPC Group Chief Executive.
"This Responsibility Report encapsulates our ideals, beliefs and commitments that will continue to shape our strategy going forward."

General Partner, Pangaea Ventures Ltd. Keith has been making cleantech and advanced material venture investments since 2001, having managed Mitsubishi Corporation's Canadian VC activities and BASF Venture Capital America out of Silicon Valley.
On May 31st, 2017 Pangaea Ventures hosted its third Advanced Materials Commercialization Summit. The summit was attended by entrepreneurs representing some of the world's most innovative, leading edge start-ups along with senior thought leaders from dozens of the world's largest chemical and materials companies. Discussions focused on mission critical topics around advanced materials commercialization.
In December 2015, Dow and DuPont set off the greatest wave of consolidation ever seen in the agricultural chemistry and agricultural biology sector. Two years later, the two have become DowDuPont: the largest chemical company in the world. But in-between, the entire ag-chem-bio industry has been mired in uncertainty with a focus on demonstrating synergy, at the expense of innovation.
Doug Wiggin, CEO of Switch Materials, gives a talk on the commercialization of smart windows for the automotive sector, as part of Pangaea Ventures' Advanced Materials Commercialization Summit.
A lot of investors talk about "smart money" and "value add". Pangaea Ventures won't even invest unless we have a whole arsenal of tools or advantages we can bring to maximize the success of the start-up company. In this video, we hear from the CEOs and CTOs of Envia Systems, NewLeaf Symbiotics, Redlen Technologies, Semprus BioSciences, Switch Materials, Tivra Corporation, and Vestaron Corporation on the work Pangaea has done to help its portfolio succeed, beyond just money.
Redlen Technologies is a leading manufacturer of high resolution Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) semiconductor radiation detectors which are enabling a new generation of high performance detection and imaging equipment including Nuclear Cardiology, CT Scanning, Baggage Scanning and Dirty Bomb Detection.

If you have invested in your shoe collection now all you need to do is look after them. Shoes, like suits, should not be worn consecutively for more than one day; this is to allow them to dry out and the leather to rest. This article covers polishing, storage, shoe trees, shoe horns and repairs to help you ensure the longevity of your collection.
Regular Polishing
The first thing to do is polishing, which maintains the leather. The normal polish to use is KIWI, however if you would like a to get a mirror shine look for a polish that has a high level of natural bees-wax, it nourishes the leather and helps create a mirror shine.
A regular polish helps maintain the condition of the shoes, nothing looks worse than a pair of good quality shoes not clean and polished – if you don't have the time simply pay someone else to do it; there has been quite the resurgence in shoe shine stands, especially through The City, Mayfair and St James's.
The first step is to go over the shoes with a large shoe brush to remove the dirt and dust from the weeks wear. The next stage is to apply the polish, this is best done with a yellow duster or old t-shirt. wait for the polish to dry (make a cup of tea). Once you have enjoyed your tea the polish should be dried, so now just simply buff off the excess polish with a large shoe brush. Done. Very easy – yet if not done shoes will not last half as long.
Shoes should be stored in shoe bags – all reputable shoe brands include this with a purchase. They should also be stored in a shoebox or shoe rack (preferably made of cedar) on their side to allow the soles to dry out properly.
Shoe Trees
Shoe trees help dry out the shoe, maintain their shape and to keep creases at bay, they are a essential bit of kit. You can get plastic ones, but the best are cedar.

Shoe Horns
An inexpensive way to protect the heel part of your shoes, if not used, even on the best pair of shoes, the stitching on the heel area will get overly worn and will need to be repaired. Most decent shoes come with a shoe tree.
Once your shoes have been worn for some time they will need to be repaired, the first sign they need to be mended is normally the sole.
Most Northampton shoemakers have a repair service. These services do tend to be more than going to the local cobbler, but the benefit of going back to the original shoemaker is that they will use the same materials the shoe was made from in the first place, the repair is more of a refresh as they should replace all the bits that have worn. When you get the shoes back they should look as good as new.
This article is a rework of one originally written by the author for their blog An Aspiring Gent.

The remedies are more expensive, so the consultation fees are higher.

"Zoe has very successfully treated my son and I over recent years for various emotional and physical ailments. Her enthusiasm for, faith in, and knowledge of homeopathy is infectious and I love working with Zoe to match symptoms with remedies. This enthusiasm instills the confidence in me to self-prescribe on occasion and fuels my general interest in all things homeopathy. It gives me great comfort having her at the other end of the phone or email." (mother, 2014)
'Thanks for yesterday, I always feel better having seen you'. (Mother, Hove, 2015)
"Whenever we have a difficult time in our children development or a time of illness I always call Zoe and every single time she has completely sorted things out from Colic to teething, from nightmares to the stresses of moving home and schools. Zoe always offers a friendly coaching session on the phone and finds exactly the right remedies for us. Most recently my youngest boy was really struggling with anger and frustration (terrible twos!) and after 3 remedies he's completely changed back to his happy laughing self – it's unbelievable. Thank you so much" (Mother of 2, London, 2016)
"Thank you for your help, I am getting better :). Very happy" (anon, 2014)
"I wanted to let you know that we've seen some dramatic changes in my son's behaviour since we have started him on the remedy. He's been happy including his sister is his awareness, physical space and play. He's even seemed to notice that our family is made of all four of us, not just him all the time! He's been saying he wants to 'take good care' of all of us, which is sweet. Another thing is that he has suddenly been sleeping through the night in his own bed by himself for the past six nights! Could it be that he no longer needs to co-sleep? Amazing!" (Mother of 2, Brighton)
"Just wanted to say, my son and I are SO much better…so much calmer and at ease. Thank you so so much" (Mother of 2, Forest Row, 2014)
"Well, I didn't wake last night coughing for the first time in over a week, and I have hardly coughed at all this morning. Just a little tickle in the throat but definitely a marked improvement courtesy of the Ars 1m. You are a bit of a legend Zoe!" (Anon, Cambs)

Watch: Kingston fully prepared for potential storm - Deputy Mayor
Deputy Mayor of the Kingston and St Andrew Municipal Corporation (KSAMC), Winston Ennis said that the city is better prepared for a major storm than it was last year.
Ennis made the declaration following a question from People's National Party (PNP) Councillor for the Papine Division in Eastern St Andrew, Venesha Phillips, about hurricane preparedness given the three storms currently churning in the region.
The Deputy Mayor noted that all the critical drains had been cleaned.
He noted that of the 40 divisions, 38 had started drain cleaning activities, while 37 had finished the exercises; with the remaining two divisions in the process of starting similar projects.
Speaking to Loop News after the meeting, Philips, who started the meeting on a rough note, having almost fallen from a wobbly chair, noted that she felt more could be done in terms of preparedness.
At a press conference following the monthly meeting, the Deputy Mayor further elaborated on preparedness measures.
"The KSAC is fully prepared for any eventualities," said Ennis, adding that all 97 shelters were ready to go in the case of an emergency.
Ennis further noted that a list of emergency shelters would be made available on their website.

Rendering Assistance
According to the U.S. Coast Guard, the master or person in charge of a vessel is obligated by law to provide assistance that can be safely provided to any individual in danger at sea . The master or person in charge is subject to a fine and/or imprisonment for failure to do so.
If you are involved in a boating accident or come upon an accident that didn't involve your vessel, you must do whatever you can to save the affected people from any danger caused by the accident, as long as that assistance doesn't put you, your boat, or anyone on your boat in serious danger.
When you offer any good-faith assistance and the person doesn't object to your assistance, you are not liable for civil damages that result from your help as long as you are acting the same way any ordinary, reasonable, and prudent person would have acted under the circumstances.

Good Good Food
Yesterday, I ate "farm-grown fast food" for dinner: 2 giant freestone peaches off my peach tree, a handful of cherry tomatoes off my tomato vines, a bunch of grapes off my grape vines and a sparkling glass of mint-ice water using the mint from my herb garden.
This morning for breakfast: A scramble--a sliced zuchinni from the garden sauteed in locally-produced olive oil with two farm fresh eggs (produced by my chickens), seasoned with chives and basil.
For lunch today I am having some more grapes, and a fresh tomato salad with walnuts and an herb vinagrette. And for dessert: some of Sky Hoyt's local strawberry sorbet.
In our country, food travels, on average, 1500 miles from producer to table, requiring huge amounts of fossil fuels both to grow it and deliver it. Most of THIS food traveled less than 100 feet. And I guarantee it tastes a lot better.
Everything is flavorful and colorful and nutritious. August is so bountiful here... it can't get much better than this. I can't think of a better way to heal my own spirit, and heal earth at the same time.

Remembering Renee
Now I carry on alone. I am filled with awe and gratitude for this amazing gift of Renee (renewal) in my life, mindful that her love changed me, strengthened me and is more than enough to sustain me, even now. Her final gift, saying goodbye, has set in motion a new process of transformation.
Here is a slideshow of recent photographs:

Renee is at Peace
your love and prayers as we send her on her way.
In love and gratitude,
Below is her obituary and here is a brief clip of Renee's own thoughts on death and dying...
Renee Shields
Born: March 11. 1944 Died: May 12, 2007
Renee Shields, resident and teacher in Upper Lake, CA, died on May 12, 2007 from cancer. She was 63 years old.
Renee was born Lorraine Gail Shields, in Merced, California on March 11, 1944. She entered religious life as a Sister of the Holy Family in 1963, taking the name Sister Mary Renee, and remained in religious life for 30 years. She left the convent and entered into a committed partnership with Denise Rushing in 1993 and helped raise two children: Brian Rushing, now 24, and Teresa Rushing, now 22.
Renee taught Special Education at Upper Lake High School and was a licensed family counselor. She held two Masters Degrees: One in counseling from California State University-Fresno and one in religious education from University of San Francisco. She was a credentialed teacher, who worked in Public Schools since 1997 and taught religious education for 30 years, while a Sister of the Holy Family. She also co-founded Rockhaven Ecozoic Center, a non-profit eco-spiritual retreat center and holistic community in House Springs Missouri.
Renee is survived by her sister Cynthia Shields of Fresno, California, her brothers, James Arthur Shields III of Parker, Colorado and Harold Shields of Clovis, California as well as nieces and nephews in California, Colorado and Texas. She leaves behind immediate family including domestic partner of 14 years, Denise Rushing and her two adult children: Brian Rushing of Portland, Oregon and Teresa Rushing of Upper Lake, CA.
Renee took great joy in flower arranging, weaving, caring for the pets and livestock at the family's farm and creative tasks, including baking cookies and cakes for the students and staff at Upper Lake High School. Throughout life, she was known for her kindness and humor, her generosity, and her love of children. She is remembered with deep love and gratitude by all she encountered.
Private Services will be held at a future date. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations be sent to one of the following organizations:
Sisters of the Holy Family,
P. O. Box 3248,
Mission San Jose, CA 94539-0324
Hospice Services of Lake County,
1717 South Main Street
Lakeport, CA 95453
Rockhaven Ecozoic Center
7621 Rivermont Trail
House Springs, MO 63051
For Renee, I need....
So, I need your help...
Renee visited one of our Renee-care group in a dream last night. In
the dream, a room full of people were drumming for Renee. Renee came to her and said "tell them to stop the drumming, they need to let me go, I cannot go while they keep drumming" but the drumming continued. Renee asked her to make them stop, but the dreamer was powerless to stop it.
So, what is "the drumming?" Perhaps it represents everyone's worries and concerns about me and those she is leaving behind? Or perhaps it represents wishes and thoughts for her to regain health? (Or maybe someone is really drumming?)
Here is what I need you to do: Turn your thoughts from any worrying about me, or Brian, or Teresa, or her classroom kids, or family and relatives and friends. I need you to place your thoughts and intentions on saying goodbye to Renee--letting her go, and wishing her well on her way. She needs this.
Oh, and please stop drumming.
With love, and gratitude,
Friday, May 11, 2007
We are present to her, here and now. Powerless to stop death, we simply work on small comforts... repositioning her body, moistening her mouth, applying lip balm, massaging her feet with lotion..... and whispering goodbye.
Please know that your words and ongoing acts of love and support have been a great comfort, sustaining us even now.
In gratitude,

Letting Go
We now find Star SO energetic that we needed to give her a new home during this time. To me, letting go of this little dog carries with it a great sadness--I suppose that she represents how much letting go is happening right now. So I thought I would share a few photos...
May 2007 UPDATE:
Star came back to us. I got a call--she was found 40 miles from her new home, and she still had our license tags on her, so those that found her called ME. When I went to pick her up, she fell asleep in my arms--it was like she was trying to make her way home. I see this as a sign! The new owners say its okay--I plan to keep her after all.

Gratitude, Part 2
I am even more mindful that each day, each hour, that passes is a gift. I am filled with gratitude for the time we have been given, for a special love, and for a life-giving friendship. I hold a deep admiration for Renee's grace and courage, and for her astounding acceptance and trust, even as she faces the great abyss of her own death. That she has been part of my life can only be described as a grand miracle, one to which I still pause in amazement.
Many of us watch those we love face their own brave journey with this horrible disease and we all watch it play out, powerless in the face of its progress, taking our mothers and fathers, our brothers and sisters, our children and friends.
So let me tell my truth about all of this: I do not want to see my loved one die of cancer before her time. I just don't. But this is the reality of it. And as we work so hard to stop death, or slow its march, all we accomplish is perhaps eking out a bit more life along the way to the inevitable. So I hope to celebrate what we've been given in the present moment and accept life on the terms it has been given, grateful for every bit. It's all good.

Lovely quilt. Love the glass ball decoration. A trick I've learnt with reflections is to have yourself and the camera in a shadowed spot and the subject in the light and there's little or no reflection. Finding the right spot for this is the problem though! Another trick is to stand further away and use telephoto to take the shot.
Great crisp shots :D.

On the fourth week of the Bigboss House, the Contestant was known. Most of the nominees have been nominated for this elimination process. In the first two weeks, the comrades Sanjana and the new knights left the house and last week Kriti Damaraju became Eliminate. But this time Kaushal, Shyamala, Babu bogeneni, Nandini Roy, Deepthi, Ganesh and Geetha Madhuri have been nominated for a number of nominations for the Elimination episode.
Apart from Common Man Ganesh in Friday's episode, Singer Geeta Madhuri announced that Nani was a Protective.
Audiences support Ganesh's intention to stay in a common man's house. Geetha Madhuri seems to have been struck with a social media campaign. It seems to have gone into the house with a plan based on the support she is supporting. Are these two safe lemons? The audience's tribe is scheduled.
Shyamala Was Eliminated and She is back to home.
The episode of this Elimination episode is going to be a day before. But after joining home She posted Post on Facebook.. 'Thanks to all those who were supporting me come home. I'm playing with Ishaan. ' That was posted. But as soon as he discovered his mistake, the post was immediately removed. Screenshots of the post were already viral in social media.
