Qatar Airways CEO Akbar al Baker delivers his frank opinion on the delayed delivery of the Airbus A380 at the Farnborough Air Show. Photo: Getty Images
Never one to miss the opportunity at an airshow to rant at Airbus Group NV or Boeing Co., Qatar Airways Chief Akbar Al Baker usually plays one plane maker off the other. But at this year's Farnborough International Airshow, Mr. Al Baker is happy with neither.
He launched a verbal tirade at the plane makers on the first day of Farnborough, slamming them for delayed jets and poor quality.
No new plane orders would be forthcoming, said Mr. Al Baker, a large buyer of the Airbus A350 long-range jet and the A380 superjumbo, as well as Boeing's 787 Dreamliner and the even-larger 777.
"I am very disappointed," Mr. Al Baker said in an interview, adding that Airbus had to admit to faults on its A380 delivery or he would do so for them.
Qatar's A380 was originally billed for delivery before June, but has been delayed several times and is expected to enter service later this year. Qatar has a significant presence at the Farnborough show and had planned to showcase its A380, alongside an A320, a Boeing 787-8 and an Airbus A350XWB jet decorated in its livery.
Mr. Al Baker said Qatar would also not consider buying any more A380s at this time. The superjumbo jet, which carries more than 500 passengers, has become the mainstay of the fleet of Qatar Airways rival Emirates Airline.
Airbus said Qatar's A380 had been delayed as the airline had been very "demanding" in its specifications. The carrier found fault in the texturing of the paint, the interior cabin decor foils, which are similar to wallpaper, and the jet's non-textile floors, which are prevalent in the galley area. Those large galley structures now have to be removed to lay new flooring in a time-consuming process.
"It's a bit of a job because it has to be done carefully," said Tom Williams, Executive Vice President of programs at Airbus.

My Review
Dec 7, 2014
This was super. I used cherry tomatoes instead of canned, and I used a white sweet onion...next time I'd use a red onion. Next time I might buy a smaller crust and use half as a dip because I tasted the food processor mixture after it was done & I'd say this would make a terrific dip for tortilla chips or veggies. If you're interested it's 6p on WW

Delicious! I made it exactly as instructed and it turned out great! My husband and I loved it!
Jul 30, 2013
Very wonderfully good!We used a chopped fresh tomato, and added a diced fresh jalapeño. We're going to use this bean mixture as our new standard in bean& cheese tacos. So yummy.
Mar 20, 2010
Really Good! I didn't caramelize the onions and just mixed the pureed beans with the onions and corn and then spread on the pizza. Made it a 30 minute meal!

Monday after climate week
Sitting on the train heading back from New York to Washington D.C., gazing out of the window at stressed watersheds, I had some time to reflect on a very special Climate Week. What does it all add up to? Where does it leave us as a global community needing speed and scale in our climate action?
Much is being written. Let me add a perspective. Here are three thoughts amid my swirl of memories, moments and impressions.
Climate osmosis – the street reaches the hallowed halls
It was difficult to stand in the canyon that is 6th Avenue, with a sea of people stretching in both directions – environmental activists, nurses, pensioners, business people, every possible faith community, moms, a sprinkling of celebrity and a dash of statesmen – and not be moved. On the Sunday before the Summit, more than half a million people took to the streets in People's Climate Marches in New York and more than 160 countries across the globe. The marchers demanded climate action from their leaders, suggesting that the politics of climate action, once considered too hard to handle, might no longer be as difficult as leaders think.
The reverberations continued for 48 hours and became a point of reference in almost every speech at the UN Secretary-General's Climate Leadership Summit. More than 120 heads of state and government came to hint and in some cases pledge action on climate change. New coalitions of governments, businesses, investors, multilateral development banks and civil society groups announced plans to mobilize over $200 billion for low-carbon, climate-resilient development. Forests and cities were big winners, landing pledges of around $450 million for forests and bringing together more than 2,000 cities in a new Compact of Mayors to help improve accounting of urban greenhouse gas emissions and the actions cities are taking to reduce them.

Mourinho impressed by German talent
Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has heaped praise on Borussia Dortmund, the team that stand between his side and reaching the Champions League final, ahead of tonight's match at the Bernabeu.
Madrid go into the semi-final second leg needing to overturn a 4-1 deficit after being outclassed in Germany in the first game.
"It's not a surprise for me that Dortmund are where they are, I thought they were one of the favourites at the start of the tournament," the Portuguese said. "There is a great structure there, a great tranquility around the team and the coach."
He added: "Both German teams (Dortmund and fellow semi-finalists Bayern Munich, who beat Barcelona 4-0 in the first leg) are very good, without a doubt, as are the national team. There is a generation of players in Germany of great quality and they will be candidates to win the next World Cup."
The coach was scathing about his own team's performance in Dortmund, saying they played the game "like a friendly".
He also accused them of being too soft in their treatment of striker Robert Lewandowski, who scored all four goals.
"We are so pure and so naive that Lewandowski scored four goals and we didn't foul him even once," he said. "They (Dortmund) fouled Cristiano (Ronaldo) five times as soon as the game began. How can you play 90 minutes and not commit a foul on a player who scored four goals?"
Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp insisted his team would not be overawed by the occasion.
He said: "I'm sure we won't freeze.
"We played Bayern Munich in the German Cup final last year when we were champions. They really wanted to beat us in the game, as they had all season, and my team was pretty cool in this moment (Dortmund won 5-2). The only way to reach your dream is to be brave."

Chinese artist Lu Xinjian has been inspired by maps and cities for years, often collected in his increasingly large-scale acrylic on canvas series City DNA. But his newest work City Light expands on these inspirations, taking the flat abstractions and mounting them onto the wall with neon.
Using Google Earth images of the artist's current home, the sprawling metropolis of Shanghai, Xinjian renders the map loosely in his abstract style. The resulting plans are rendered in neon on a solid black background, and run on a flash program which controls the timing of each area's lines being illuminated. Starting with a small, centrally-located blue square, the rest of the surrounding area follows, until the entire piece is lit. Representing the rapid growth of the modern metropolis, the network of neon light tubes takes the language of city communication and visually abstracts the idea of rapid expansion.

By Margaret Waage
A diverse group of community-based providers, state and local agencies, clergy, foundations and residents alike, brought their insights and questions to The Symposium on Ageing held recently at The Orchards.
The purpose of symposium is aimed at finding or creating the best possible solutions for the Southington's older population, and the town in general.
Sponsored by the not-for-profits Central Connecticut Senior Health Services, United Way of Southington and The Orchards, attendees were treated to readings, "From i-Grandma To Medicare Essays on Ageing" by Central Connecticut State University students who interviewed Southington seniors for the collaboration. The works are very personal, each telling their story, remembrances of early years and former selves, and life, as they know it no
Mary Collins, associate professor at CCSU and a former journalist, assigned each students a senior for a two-tiered purpose: first, to foster an intergenerational interaction that would exercise their literacy skills and secondly, to look at the narrative collectively. "Students were nervous initially, but during the interviews their interest grew."
The interviews are written entirely from the subject's voice and some students wrote personal essays after being inspired by the process.
Taryne Leahey interviewed Walter Hushak, who is a volunteer in the Southington school system. Leahey's essay titled "Stuff" is named for what Hushak says students call history. Hushak keeps returning to speak about aviation and Southington history for "these moments of doing this where the light goes on and you think you've accomplished something."
Leahey also read "Home Alone" a story about her own grandmother living alone in a house full of her husba's memories and her surroundings originally meant for two.
Every situation is different, attendees were told. For some individuals transitioning to an assisted living or nursing facility is difficult. Leaving home is an emotional and financial consideration. "We have to look at the growth rate baby boomers," said Deborah Migneault of the Connecticut Commission on Ageing.
"We need to balance the person's right to live where they want." This means bolstering up community support systems so choices are even possible, she said. Migneault referenced "Ageing in Place", a public act that would create a "livable community" initiative.
"Currently Bill No. 6396, just passed in the Senate and wouldn't just benefit older adults. What is good for one will be good for all. The mother with a stroller would have a curb, an elderly pedestrian will have a bench for sitting," said Migneault.
Sue Smayda, Southington executive library director, along with others, said information about available programs is unknown, such as the Money Follows The Person program.
"Health providers such as CNA's often are the most important person in caring for the elderly and yet they're paid the least," Smayda said.
Dave Harrington, CHOICES counselor of Southington Community Services, emphasized the need for a way of disseminating more information. Harrington said, "Some aren't aware of eligibility for alternative choices when it comes to Medicare."
Bob Verderame of Southington Calendar House distributed their new Active Lifestyles newsletter he hoped seniors would be used for Calendar listings on health events and social networking.
Rev. Victoria Triano, president of United Way of Southington, asked participants to brainstorm over which issues were most important to older populations. The results were compiled to form a working "action plan" that organizers say can be starting point in creating a "Naturally Occurring Retirement Community" in Southington that would not only benefit the ageing population in town, but would provide a benefit to all residents.
With so many resources at the symposium the additional issues of chronic disease management, nutrition and exercise counseling, health literacy, volunteer networks, homelessness, affordable housing, etc were all mentioned as being part of the conversation.
Julie Norko, director of Development and Philanthropy at Central Connecticut Senior Health Services summed up the results, "It looks like most people wanted the dissemination of information about resources available to seniors, the sharing of providers of current best practices and options for seniors, social engagement and intergenerational programming."
The brainstorm session worked well to aid as a beginning check list of what's important to people.
To find resources on ageing go Connecticut Center for Health Aging at http://www.cthealthyaging.org/ or by phone at (860) 276-5293. For more information about a livable community for all ages contact Julie Norko at (860) 378-1284.

Stocks eased off their best levels but still kicked off the first day of the third quarter with a modest rally, boosted by a pair of better-than-expected economic reports.
Traders said the S&P 500 was hitting an area of resistance around its 50-day moving average of 1,624. Meanwhile, protest in Egypt also put a damper on the rally.

Calls for increased transparency of state Assembly budgets and spending have failed to gain traction at the state capitol this year, even after lawmakers lost a lawsuit requiring that the information be made public.
In December 2011 the Los Angeles Times — parent company of this newspaper — and the Sacramento Bee won a lawsuit requiring Assembly leaders to release budget records for individual state representatives, policy committees and party caucuses. The records showed members of both parties routinely use caucus and committee funds to supplement their personal budgets, and observers said party politics often trump policy-making when the funds are portioned out.
But in April, Democrats on the Assembly Rules Committee killed legislation by Assemblyman Anthony Portantino (D-La Cañada Flintridge) that would have authorized the California State Controller's Office to conduct performance audits over the Assembly's $146 million in annual spending.
A week earlier, Democrats on the Elections and Redistricting Committee buried a bill by state Assemblywoman Kristin Olsen (R-Modesto) that would streamline budget records and make them public on a monthly basis.
John Vigna, spokesman for Assembly Speaker John Pérez (D-Los Angeles), said both bills died due to legal flaws, not their intent. Olsen's bill would have circumvented the Assembly's regular rulemaking process and Portantino's would have generated a conflict of interest between the Legislature and controller, Vigna said.
"When we write [the controller's] budget, how can he possibly be independent? It gets us further away from the separation of powers," he added. .
Portantino said he believes lawmakers simply don't want the oversight, and the Assembly learned nothing from losing the open-records lawsuit.
"The Assembly spends taxpayer money to defend bad habits, and when we lose, we go right back to those habits because we think no one is going to notice," he said.
State leaders spent about $200,000 fighting disclosure of the budget records, including legal fees paid to the newspapers, said Vigna.
As for Olsen's legislation, Vigna said, "Any member is free to suggest rules changes in December when we reconvene, and if they can convince 41 members, the rules will be changed."
Olsen, whose proposal also called for all bills to be made public 72 hours before a vote, said legislation is necessary to force the Assembly to abide by its own rules, as existing bill notice requirements are routinely suspended and the budget records forced into public view by the lawsuit are confusing.
"I wanted to place my budget online in a way that was user-friendly and clear, but we had to take information from four different documents and combine them into one," said Olsen, who plans to reintroduce elements of her bill next year.
Phillip Ung, policy advocate for California Common Cause, a government accountability group that supported Olsen's bill, said he believes the Assembly should offer more budget information to the public.
"The internal budgets that were disclosed are crafted in a way that only gives minimal transparency," said Ung. "Legislative reform is incredibly wonky … but it does matter if the rules aren't drafted in a way that promotes good governance."

MIDDLEBURY — A potential strike by Chittenden County Transportation Authority (CCTA) drivers would have an impact on the Addison County Transit Resources' Burlington Link Express that buses riders between Middlebury and Burlington.
As of Friday afternoon, CCTA drivers are slated to go on strike as of Monday, March 17, after having rejected the latest contract offer.
BRISTOL — Addison County Transit Resources (ACTR) is proposing a new bus route along the Route 116 corridor that would take passengers from Bristol to Burlington, with stops in Starksboro and Hinesburg.
James Moulton, executive director of ACTR, said the new service could start as soon as April, pending funding.
"We believe it would be a good, strong route," Moulton said on Tuesday.

Here's 5 to lust over..
- MAC Tippy LE (Beauty powder blush) on the left
- Mac Dollymix (Sheertone shimmer) on the right.
Both of these have been compared to each other as Tippy was limited edition with the Hello Kitty collection, however as you can see, Tippy is more cool toned as opposed to Dollymix which is more warm toned and Rosy. Dollymix is also sheerer than Tippy but still pigmented.
- NARS Angelika
This is a cool toned medium pink with finely milled silver sparkles.
- MAC Moon River LE mineralised grand duo on the left
- MAC Well Dressed (Satin) on the right.
Both of these blush colours look quite similar in tone, but Well dressed is slightly darker, it's a satin so it has a soft sheen with no glitter. However, Moon River is very glittery which I use it as a highlight, I can see it working as a blush for fairer skins.
Here are the swatches for comparison!
- To be honest I NEVER wear Tippy, it's far too pigmented on me and it just looks way too much. I do think however it will get some use when I am uber tanned.
- Dollymix doesn't look that special in the pot but when applied looks beautiful. It has a soft sheen and applies really pigmented but still manages to look natural, I would however recommend a light hand.
- Well Dressed is a perfect blush for those who don't like to wear blush. Even though I love blush I do tend to skip it in my routine sometimes. When I wear this I don't feel like I need a highlighter as the soft sheen adds a nice glow.
- Moon River is a sparkly icy pale pink, it's probably the most used powder blush in my collection. I tend to use the lighter side as a highlighter, and the darker side as a blush when I want my cheeks to glow, it will look really pretty and stand out more on fairer tones of skin.
My Favourites?
I love Well Dressed for everyday, Dollymix is for when I want the perfect pink cheeks and Moon River is my perfect pink toned highlighter that doubles as a blush. Sadly Angelika and Tippy don't get a lot of love.
The conclusion? Yes, I have struck gold with Well Dressed and Dollymix and they are my perfect pink blushes! *Claps*
What's your favourite pink blush?

The efficiency with which multiple queue consumers process messages in a queue destination depends on a number of factors. To achieve optimal message throughput there must be a sufficient number of consumers to keep up with the rate of message production for the queue, and the messages in the queue must be routed and then delivered to the active consumers in such a way as to maximize their rate of consumption.
The message delivery mechanism for multiple-consumer queues is that messages are delivered to consumers in batches as each consumer is ready to receive a new batch. The readiness of a consumer to receive a batch of messages depends upon configurable client runtime properties, such as imqConsumerFlowLimit and imqConsumerFlowThreshold, as described in Message Flow Limits. As new consumers are added to a queue, they are sent a batch of messages to consume, and receive subsequent batches as they become ready.
The message delivery mechanism for multiple-consumer queues described above can result in messages being consumed in an order different from the order in which they are produced.
If messages are accumulating in the queue, it is possible that there is an insufficient number of consumers to handle the message load. It is also possible that messages are being delivered to consumers in batch sizes that cause messages to be backing up on the consumers. For example, if the batch size (consumerFlowLimit) is too large, one consumer might receive all the messages in a queue while other consumers receive none. If consumers are very fast, this might not be a problem. However, if consumers are relatively slow, you want messages to be distributed to them evenly, and therefore you want the batch size to be small. Although smaller batch sizes require more overhead to deliver messages to consumers, for slow consumers there is generally a net performance gain in using small batch sizes. The value of consumerFlowLimit can be set on a destination as well as on the client runtime: the smaller value overrides the larger one.

"I want to remind you that Russia is one of the most powerful nuclear nations," the President said. "This is a reality, not just words."
He later warned, "We must always be ready to repel any aggression against Russia and (potential enemies) should be aware ... it is better not to come against Russia as regards a possible armed conflict."
The comments came the same day that Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused NATO of using "images from computer games" to -- in his view -- falsely make the case that Russian troops are in Ukraine. Lavrov said "hiding the evidence is an outstanding characteristic of the U.S. and many EU countries" with regard to Ukraine.
The thing is, many in the West don't believe much of anything coming out of Russia.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Friday that -- whatever the Kremlin says -- the reality is Russian troops are inside the Ukraine and have fired on Ukrainian military positions.
"Those denials are completely without credibility," Earnest said.
And Russia's military may be getting digging in deeper in Ukraine. The British government source told CNN on Friday that Russia has moved 4,000 to 5,000 military personnel -- a figure far higher than one U.S. official's earlier claim of 1,000 troops.
The soldiers are aligned in "formed units" and fighting around Luhansk and Donetsk, said the UK source. And they may soon have company: Some 20,000 troops are on border and "more may be on the way," the source adds.
So what's Russia's endgame? Does it simply want to protect civilians or ethnic Russians in Ukraine? Or does it endeavor to develop a land bridge between Crimea -- which split from Ukraine to become part of Russia months ago, amid the unrest following President Viktor Yanukovych's ouster -- and the Russian border? Or perhaps take over all of Ukraine now?
The UK source, giving his government's analysis of Russian troop movements, surmised that right now "the primary role of the current Russian deployments inside Ukraine is probably to assist, support and take the pressure off the separatist forces in order to maintain pressure on Kiev to decentralize.
"However, we are not ruling out more ambitious plans, including a land corridor from the Russian border to Crimea."
NATO chief blasts Russia's 'hollow denials'
Ukraine has been in crisis since last fall, when political upheaval preceded widespread violence that threatened to tear the Eastern Europe nation apart.
If anything, that violence has worsened the past several months -- as pro-Russian rebels dug in and Ukraine's military stepped up its offensive to retake its territory. The U.N. human rights office reports at least 2,593 people killed between mid-April and August 27, and that many innocent civilians have been killed, hurt or trapped in urban areas.
Predictably, both sides have taken the high road while blaming each other for humanitarian crisis and for perpetrating violence rather than having fair, sincere negotiations toward a cease-fire.
"When Kiev said that negotiations would begin only after the surrender of those whom they call 'separatists,' the militia are left with no choice but to defend their homes, their families," Russia's foreign ministry said in a statement.
Western officials say that Moscow hasn't taken any responsibility, whether for its military's on-the-ground involvement or how it can influence rebels.
Speaking after a meeting of NATO ambassadors in Brussels, Belgium, Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said what he called "the serious escalation of Russia's military aggression against Ukraine" violates Ukraine's territorial integrity and "defies all diplomatic efforts for a peaceful solution."
"Despite Moscow's hollow denials, it is now clear that Russian troops and equipment have illegally crossed the border into eastern and southeastern Ukraine," Rasmussen said. "This is not an isolated action but part of a dangerous pattern over many months to destabilize Ukraine as a sovereign nation."
Fighting raging on multiple fronts
Whoever is to blame, whoever is involved, two things that are not in question is that the fighting is continuing and that there's no end in sight.
Ukrainian troops have been fighting on two fronts: southeast of rebel-held Donetsk, and along the nation's southern coast in the town of Novoazovsk, about 12 miles (20 kilometers) from the Russian border.
Mykhailo Lysenko, deputy commander of the Ukrainian Donbas battalion, on Thursday described the fighting in the south as "a full-scale invasion."
Analysts suggest that Russia may have sent its forces into Novoazovsk to secure a land route from the border to the Crimean peninsula it annexed from Ukraine in March, and in order to throw Ukrainian forces making gains against besieged rebel forces in the cities of Donetsk and Luhansk off balance.
In a statement issued by the Kremlin, Putin said the rebels had halted a Ukrainian military operation in eastern Ukraine that he said had endangered the civilian population and caused many casualties.
The UK government source said Russian forces are fighting alongside rebels around Luhansk and Donetsk. It's too early to gauge their impact, though even if propping up the pro-Russian separatists for months longer so that Ukraine's military doesn't next turn its attention to taking back Crimea could be considered a victory.
"At the very least, the Russian deployments are creating the conditions for a frozen conflict going into winter and .. ensure that Kiev is sufficiently distracted ... to prevent it from refocusing its attention on Crimea," the source said.
Retired Lt. Gen. Mark Mark Hertling, a 37-year veteran who once commanded U.S. soldiers in Europe, thinks that Russia may be aiming higher than that. If Ukraine folds easily to Russia's military might, neighboring nations might have good reason to worry. On the other side, Moscow could lose sway if its efforts fail.
"He is trying to influence the Europeans, and it won't stop just with Ukraine," the military analyst told CNN, predicting more Russian military intervention elsewhere. "This is something where he is trying to counter the influence of the West, and he can't afford to lose in Ukraine."

Body of 12-Year-Old Boy Who Went Missing at Waurika Lake Has Been Found
On Tuesday morning, search teams at Waurika Lake recovered the body of Colton Parnell, the 12-year-old boy who went missing on Saturday (June 8) while swimming in the lake with his cousin.
Colton and his family were camping at the Kiowa Park 1 area on the southwest side of Waurika Lake during a family reunion. Colton and his cousin Josiah - also 12 years old - were swimming about 30-40 yards from the lake shore when choppy waters pulled the boys further out, where they could not touch the bottom.
Family members and others saw the boys struggling and heard their cries for help. About 30-40 people rushed into the water to help the boys, but Colton disappeared under the water before they could reach him. Nearby boaters were able to pull Josiah to safety. The rest of the party searched the nearby beaches for Colton.
Oklahoma Highway patrol lead a large search effort to find Colton. After diving and dragging the lake for over 2 days, Colton Parnell's body was discovered washed ashore near the same area where he went missing.
The rough choppy waters created an unsafe environment for swimming, and according to members of the reunion party, no warning signs were posted visibly near the water's edge.
A donation page for the Parnell family has been set up at gofundme.com to help offset the financial pressures that the family is facing.

Jeep Compass
Jeep's latest Compass model is the brand's most competitive mid-sized SUV yet. Jonathan Crouch takes a look.
Ten Second Review
Jeep's a tough breed of car and a tough brand - which is just as well given the knocks it's taken over the last few years. But it's back, with forward-thinking ownership from Fiat - and fresh models like this rejuvenated Compass, here to take on well established rivals in the Nissan Qashqai-dominated mid-sized SUV sector.
Jeep has a heritage going all the way back to 1941, but models capable of competing in volume areas of the SUV sector have only arrived in fairly recent years, cars like this much improved Compass. Previously, the brand tried to campaign in the mid-sized part of this segment with its Cherokee range, but that model's now been pushed up-market a little to compete with slightly more serious volume-band mid-sized SUVs like upper versions of Toyota's RAV4 and Honda's CR-V.
In the past, Jeep has compromised on-tarmac prowess in pursuit of rock-hopping credibility. No longer. This Compass will still go further in the muck than most of its Qashqai-class rivals but the idea now is that you shouldn't be constantly reminded of the fact on the school run. Just as importantly, this model's smarter 'mini-Grand Cherokee' looks will need to be more than skin-deep, blended with a value proposition strong enough to lift this Compass clear of other class competitors. If Jeep has pulled all of this off in this car, then its prospects may yet look bright.
Driving Experience
The Compass range is based around a Multijet diesel engine range. There's a 120bhp 1.6-litre unit and a 2.0-litre powerplant available in either 138 or 168bhp guises. There's also a 1.4-litre petrol unit with 138bhp. The top 2.0-litre diesel comes with a 9-speed auto gearbox, boasts a lusty 380Nm of pulling power and will be the primary choice of towers. This Compass model shares its underpinnings with Jeep's Cherokee, so you'd expect even mainstream variants to be more capable than the average family Crossover if you ever take to the wilds. Four-wheel drive models get rear-axle disconnect, which improves efficiency by switching to two-wheel drive when all-wheel drive isn't required.
In the unlikely event that you're likely to be off roading frequently, you might be interested in the flagship Compass Trailhawk variant, which uses the top 178bhp 2.0-litre diesel engine and features extra body cladding, higher ground clearance, a low-range gearbox and steeper approach angles. This derivative features the 'Jeep Active Drive II' chassis that gets a two speed power transfer unit, which includes torque management and low range gears to lock the front and rear drive shafts for low speed grunt.
Design and Build
The exterior looks of this Compass model are less daring than is the case with the brand's smaller Renegade SUV. Trademark Jeep elements include the large, seven-slot front grille and the trapezoidal wheel arches and the contrast colour roof is a smart touch. The sharp LED headlights look good too. Inside, the fascia features plenty of soft-touch plastics but the overall design isn't as characerful as is the case with rivals like Peugeot's 3008. A few touches of black gloss plastic lift the ambience and the seats look smart and feel supportive.
As with most new Fiat Group models, in the centre of the dash of this one, you'll find a 'Uconnect' infotainment screen, available in either 5, 7 or 8.4-inch sizes, depending on the model you select. This monitor controls the navigation, entertainment and other in-cabin heating systems: we'd prefer if the ventilation controls had remained with old-fashioned knobs. It's not always very intuitive to be stabbing away at a touchscreen.
Market and Model
Jeep is slotting this Compass in between its Renegade and Cherokee models. Expect pricing in the £25,000 to £33,000 bracket and you won't be too far out. Standard equipment across the range includes air conditioning, a 'Uconnect' touchcreen infotainment system with a DAB audio set-up and Bluetooth, alloy wheels, tyre pressure monitoring, and remote central locking. Plusher models add larger aluminium wheels, roof rails, body coloured door mirrors and handles, cruise control and front fog lamps, plus a larger 8.4-inch screen with sat nav for the 'Uconnect' infotainment set-up.
On to safety. All models get the expected things - Isofix childseat fastenings, tyre pressure monitoring, an energy-absorbing steering column, hill start assist to stop you from drifting backwards on uphill junctions and twin front, side and curtain airbags. To try and make sure those 'bags won't be needed, there's plenty of electronic assistance. ESC stability control and Electronic Roll Mitigation of course, plus 'All speed traction control' and a 'Brake Traction Control System' to offer extra grip on start-off or through the bends. The ABS braking system features 'Panic brake assist' and 'Ready Alert Braking' to quicken emergency stops. There's a 'DST' 'Driving Steering Torque' system to counter scary oversteer on low-grip surfaces. And 'Trailer Sway Control' will come in useful too if you'll be fitting a towbar and doing some towing.
Cost of Ownership
Jeep has worked hard to improve the efficiency of this Compass model. As well as improving the efficiency over its brick-like forebear, the nine-speed transmission in top variants offers a contribution to lowering frictional losses. With fewer open shift elements in the gearbox, drag losses due to multiple parts rotating relative to one another are reduced, improving fuel efficiency. The MultiJet common rail injection system's engine management, also optimises economy, introducing tiny quantities of fuel with the main injection cycle.
The 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine also incorporates "Stop/Start" technology that improves fuel efficiency and reduces CO2 emissions. Drivers can deactivate this via a button on the dashboard and an icon displays in the instrument panel to indicate the Stop/Start status. The rear axle disconnect feature on 4x4 variants further helps to improve fuel efficiency. So to the figures. The volume 138bhp 4WD variant manages 49.6mpg on the combined cycle and 148g/km of CO2.
You get the impression that customers in the mid-sized SUV market want Jeep to succeed. They may not have bought its cars in the recent past, but they'd like to have been able to credibly consider them. Now, they can once more. This Compass may not be the most sophisticated affordable model of this kind you can buy, but unlike its predecessors, it's now a tough and tempting way to buy into this macho marque.
Credibility of course, is something the Jeep name has never lacked. Good to see it then, with products now worthy of that famous badge.

There's been a lot of confusion regarding the construction of the Performance – Oriented Assessment and the Product Based Assessment. Confusion starts with the lack of understanding with regards to the definition and application of these two authentic assessments.
When we say Performance Oriented Assessment, we refer to the type of assessment that mainly focuses on the ability of the students/learners to arrive or produce or demonstrate their own learning.
So, this means that if the learning task is to "write a poem" or "write a book review" or solve a mathematical problem or come up with a basic building plan, the teacher will focus on how the learner produced or conducted the learning task.
The teacher will assess the student/learner based on the skill acquired, so in the case of writing a poem, the criterion would be "displayed skillful ability to compose an original poem" and "displayed ability to rhyme the words".
In these assessment, you are focusing on the skills of the learner in coming up with a Poem.
While in the Product-Oriented Assessment, you are focusing on the product your learner was able to come up with. In this case, " Writing a Poem" , so your criterion would be " organization of the poem" , " poem contain 3 stanza" , " correct grammar " , " appropriate use of words and rhymes ", "contains 150 words".
As you might have observed, we are focusing on the poem itself and not on the learner. This is what product oriented assessment is all about.
Now, the way to assess this is through a RUBRIC.
And lastly, a single learning task can be assessed with both product – oriented and Process – oriented . I suggest you use the learning task you are using for your Process Oriented Assessment for you Product – Oriented Assessment, in this case, you will be able to construct your own assessment easily and better appreciate Both type of Assessments. Same learning tasks can also be used for your Affective Assessment.
(The goal here is to enable Education students to be able to deeply understand the concept of Performance Assessment in support with the Paradigm Shift of Education and in line with the NCBTS to create a Globally Competent Filipino Teachers for the 21st Century. The presentations in the slideshare page is only to serve as a MODEL in constructing your own Assessment Plan. Please do not copy it for your Field Study. )

Designing good dimensions is a balancing act between at least two factors. Our dimension design must offer the user good (and intuitive) way to navigate data and it must also perform well in queries. This post looks at achieving that balance and the dangers that assumptions can produce for dimension design and result output.
While we can consider other factors (for example processing speed and property/attribute visibility) as important in our design, I considered these factors the most important because the dimension must be used in an intuitive way by users in order to be successful and, the user experience is driven by quick results (especially in an addhoc analytical environment).
If we examine the adventure works database and the [Direct Sales] perspective, we note that the customer dimension has a [Post Code] attribute hierarchy (single level hierarchy) and a [Customer Geography] hierarchy which also shows a level [Postal Code]. This can be seen in the diagram below;
|Now consider that someone wishes to know what sales were derived in a postcode. We assume that they could use either of these hierarchies to interrogate sales.
Although this is a trivial example, I have seen this type of question present itself in production environments that have "reported" incorrect data the years. Consider a product hierarchy (which includes colour at a lower level) and an attribute hierarchy [colour] (that just shows colours).
I'll also point out that I highlighted reported above because the business expectation of the results different from the technical. In this instance, the client thought that they were viewing all "yellow" products when in fact they were viewing only a subset of the yellow products.
The dangers of this issue can also be magnified by method that client tool is used to query cube.
So What's the Issue?
If we consider the postcode example, we ask ourselves the question what are the sales will postcode "V9". If this were the case, one might expect to use the [Postal Code] attribute hierarchy and just show "V9". If created pivot in Excel and filter on V9, I get the following results.
|This output is not useful, why? Because I expect to see a single value for V9 ($252K).
I could use the [Postal code] level of the [Customer Geography] dimension by creating a set but this is not that intuitive (and doesn't change results) and is not the kind of interaction we want to give our users.
From the above results we know that there are two occurrences of the postcode (that is two different areas with the same postcode) which have a value 'V9'. However, what I want is the total for V9!
This distinction becomes obvious when we look at the members in MDX and the [Postal Code] key definition (as below). Note that the key is a composite key (State, City, Postcode) which is also shown when we look at the MDX member key (by dragging members to the query grid in SSMS).
This type of design is perfectly acceptable when the attribute is used within a dimension hierarchy (as is the case in adventure works). I suggest that the [Postal Code] attribute should be hidden since it is available in hierarchy. Furthermore, the creation of a hierarchy (with relationships between the levels) is a SSAS design best practice. Note that the relationships are defined between these attributes.
The problem is that we have not been able to answer a question about the sales for [Postal Code] V9! What we really need is another attribute that only shows distinct postcode values!
Dangerous Clients
Exposing the attribute hierarchy in this way can be a very dangerous situation, especially when the client uses a name in the generation of MDX. For example consider the first query which shows all members that have a postcode of V9. Both members are shown as we would expect;
select [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] on 0,
[Customer].[Postal Code].members
, [Customer].[Postal Code].currentmember.member_caption = 'V9'
on 1
from [Direct Sales]
We could aggregate these results to show the combined result (which is the answer we want);
[Customer].[Postal Code].[MyAgg] as
filter([Customer].[Postal Code].members
, [Customer].[Postal Code].currentmember.member_caption = 'V9'
select [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] on 0,
[Customer].[Postal Code].[MyAgg] on 1
from [Direct Sales]
Now consider the situation where the client simply references the member name [V9] in MDX. This is shown below. Note that only the first member is returned which we would naïvely assumed to be the sales for the postcode.
select [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] on 0,
[Customer].[Postal Code].[V9] on 1
from [Direct Sales]
It is easy to see how useability is an important consideration for attributes. What often surprises most though, are the dangers of clients which purport to show a member value (say V9) and only return 1 member.

East Palo Alto Police Chief Ron Davis looked determined as his department faced investigating the city's sixth homicide this year, and fourth since July 13.
"We are not going to tolerate this level of violence," he told reporters at a press briefing on Monday (July 25). "We need the community to show they won't, either."
The chief also named three suspects in recent shootings, including the slaying of Cate Fisher, 19, of Menlo Park.
Last year, he said, East Palo Alto had four murders. This year surpassed that in a matter of days, with four homicides since July 13 alone. Chief Davis said his goal now is to go without a murder for the next six months.
Police officers will sacrifice their days off and work overtime to help achieve that milestone. The chief said extended hours will increase police coverage by 25 percent, with 12 officers on the street during "the busy hours" of 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. for at least the next month. The department plans to tap grants to cover the overtime.
After that, it's up to the community. Outrage at the shooting of 3-month-old Izack Jesus Jimenez Garcia, killed as his family left a baby shower in East Palo Alto on June 5, led to the quick arrest of 17-year-old Fabian Zaragoza, who pleaded not guilty to murder charges in a shooting investigators believe was a retaliation gone wrong for an assault earlier this year by Sureno gang members in Redwood City.
Mayor Carlos Romero told the press he hopes that the arrest encourages residents to see cooperation as worthwhile. He's organizing a community march from east Menlo Park to Palo Alto on Aug. 6 "to say we're not going to allow this to happen."
Fisher not target
Catherine Fisher, 19, of Menlo Park was shot and killed while sitting in a car around 2 a.m. in East Palo Alto on July 13. At the press briefing Chief Davis said she was not the intended target, but that a young man riding in the same car may have been as two shooters opened fire. He described three men as primary suspects in both that murder and that of Hugo Chavez, 26, six days later.
Three East Palo Alto residents -- Christian Fuentes, 20, Jaime Cardenas, 19, and Fidel Silva, 24 -- are the focus of the investigation.
Mr. Fuentes was arrested last week for violating parole by not showing up for an interview with investigators, who were acting on a tip, according to Acting Captain Jeff Liu. Both Mr. Cardenas and Mr. Silva remain at-large; all three are also wanted for two robberies, a burglary, and a triple shooting and murder in Grand Junction, Colorado, police said. They declined to elaborate on how the suspects are connected to the other state.
"Our plea is that if people know where they are, call," Chief Davis said. "We have seen the damage that they can inflict."
Sunday shooting
Capt. Liu said police have not ruled out a connection between these three suspects and a third homicide that happened late Sunday night, July 24. A 19-year-old man was gunned down around 10:30 p.m. in a pizzeria parking lot on East Bayshore Road as he greeted friends. Another man, 18, was also shot, but survived.
Police ask anyone with information about these cases to call the anonymous tip line at 853-8477 or send an anonymous text-a-tip to 409-7692.

It's okay if you "don't do windows." Now there's a robot that does.
Think of the upcoming Winbot from Ecovacs like a vertical Roomba. Mist the pads with cleaning solutions and then place the robot on a window, inside or out. It suctions on, and then measures the window to determine the best cleaning path. Then, off it goes. (Fortunately for those without a ladder at hand, no matter how big the window, Winbot comes back to its starting point when finished, says a spokeswoman.) Two versions — one for framed windows and one for frameless glass — will be available in late April at price points of roughly $299 to $399. That's on par with many other mid- to high-range robotic cleaners.
The device moves slowly but, the spokeswoman says, thoroughly cleans. Winbot beeps out a little tune when it's finished, negating the need to supervise. And if it happens to miss a spot, you can direct it back to a specific area. Winbot plugs in, and there's also a backup battery so it doesn't fall off the window should say, the power go out.
But Winbot does not do outdoor windows when it's raining, snowing, or below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Even robotic cleaners have their limits.

Simple ways to maximize profits on your investment property
Real estate investors have many reasons for making such investments, but one of the more common motives behind a decision to invest in a property is the belief that real estate rarely depreciates in value. Though the recent housing crisis might have debunked that myth once and for all, real estate is still widely considered a sound investment, one that many people wish they could afford to make.
Those who have already invested in real estate know how difficult it can be to maintain a property much less improve it, which should be high on an investor's priority list. But improving a property does not have to involve a complete overhaul or any other dramatic changes. In fact, there are several simple ways investors can improve their real estate investments and improve their chances of turning a large profit when they decide to sell a property.
Hire a property management firm
Some real estate investors, especially those new to the business who just purchased an investment and have little money to spare, shy away from hiring a property management firm. But such a company is worth the expense for investors with little time or know-how with regard to fixing a home. A property management firm will ensure the building is kept in shape, and depending on your agreement with the company, may even take care of cleaning vacant apartments, readying them for showing and renting them to new tenants. Perhaps the biggest advantage to working with an effective property management firm is the likelihood that they will turn over the vacant apartment quickly, ensuring you aren't losing money when tenants move out.
Carefully vet prospective tenants
One of the easiest ways a property can fall into disrepair is to allow bad tenants to move into the building. It's understandable that investors want to get a building occupied as quickly as possible so they can use tenants' rents to pay for the property. But bad tenants can cause damage to the property, and their behavior might encourage reliable fellow tenants to find a new living situation. When looking to fill a vacancy, establish a minimum income requirement for prospective tenants and ask applicants to produce proof of income and references from past landlords. This increases the chances you will find a respectful tenant who's fully capable of paying their rent on time.
Work quickly
Few people want to rent forever, so expect significant turnover, especially if your investment property is a larger complex with multiple dwellings. If you aren't working with a property management company, an easy way to maximize your profits on an investment property is to work quickly when turning apartments over after a tenant moves out. This includes painting and cleaning the apartment, and the process should go smoothly if you properly vetted tenants and the vacant unit did not suffer significant damage while the previous tenants were living there. A unit with just minor wear and tear should take one week or less to get ready to show to prospective tenants, and the unit should be vacant for only one month before new tenants move in. Anything longer than a month and you're losing money you don't have to lose.
Upgrade appliances
Renters are just as likely to fall in love with curb appeal as buyers are. While there may not be a yard to entice renters if you purchased an apartment complex, curb appeal can apply to an apartment's interior. One of the more notable eye-catchers to prospective renters is updated appliances, especially since appliances may be the only items actually in the apartment when it is shown. Stainless steel appliances provide an instant upgrade over older appliances that may appear dated and are certain to make a strong first impression on prospective renters, many of whom would be willing to pay more in rent for a unit with update appliances. In addition, renters may feel that landlords who took the time and spent the money to upgrade appliances are likely to make a greater effort maintaining the property.
Investors can maximize their returns on investment properties in a variety of ways, many of which don't require significant effort.

Celtic turn down Hooper bid
Celtic have rejected an offer from Norwich for striker Gary Hooper.
Manager Neil Lennon confirmed his club had turned down the bid after reports emerged in England. Lennon said: "The bid has been rejected. We had discussions with his representatives this morning and we are waiting to hear back from them."
Celtic have been attempting to persuade the English striker to extend his contract, which expires at the end of next season.
Lennon, whose team face Juventus in the last 16 of the Champions League next month, said: "We are in a good position. We don't want to sell, we feel we have a lot to look forward to in the second half of the season. We don't want any of our top players to go and Gary comes into that bracket."
Lennon added: "I've not spoken to him today because I was with his representatives most of the morning, so I'm sure they'll have a discussion about what was said between ourselves later on. He is preparing to start tomorrow.
"The talks were positive and we made our position pretty clear. We left his representatives to it. They will go away and digest it and come back to us."
Essex-born Hooper has scored 68 goals in 114 games since joining Celtic in July 2010 and has been tipped for England honours after helping the club into the knockout stages of Europe's elite competition with two well taken goals against Spartak Moscow.
And Lennon revealed Celtic were not minded to cash in on the 24-year-old, who they bought from Scunthorpe for £2million, despite their failure to tie him down for longer.
"I haven't come to that point yet," he said. "(In the summer) he will only have a year left and he may want to run down his contract. I've not spoken to him about future scenarios.
"For the time being, we have rejected the deal, I'm annoyed it has come out publicly. I'm annoyed with people down the road letting it come out publicly. I can't point any fingers but it has certainly not come out from this end."

California Department of Transportation
Headquarters - Public Affairs Office

(209) 941-6562
September 5, 2008
STANISLAUS COUNTY - The Department of Transportation (Caltrans) today hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for the $26 million State Route 99 (SR-99)/Whitmore Avenue Interchange Project. The project is partially funded by Proposition 1B, the 2006 voter-approved transportation bond.
"This Proposition 1B funded project will improve safety, help stimulate the economy and decrease traffic congestion in the area," said Governor Schwarzenegger. "The people of California spoke loud and clear when they voted for Proposition 1B because they wanted investment in California's infrastructure and economy - and this is an example of that investment."
The project will replace the existing Whitmore Avenue interchange with a new wider structure over SR-99 and widen Whitmore Avenue to four lanes between Blaker Road and Central Avenue. Operational improvements will be made at adjoining streets and to the northbound on and off-ramps at SR-99.
"This is an important project to the city of Ceres and Stanislaus County," said Kome Ajise, Caltrans District 10 Director. "This interchange will relieve current congestion and support the movement of goods and people."
Speakers included: Kome Ajise, Caltrans District 10 Director; Commissioner R. Kirk Lindsay, California Transportation Commission; Vince Harris, Executive Director, Stanislaus Council of Governments; Mayor Anthony Canella, City of Ceres; Lisa Mantarro, District Director for United States Congressman Dennis Cardoza; Dana Ferreira, Field Representative for State Senator Jeffery Denham; and, Lucille Dinant,
Field Representative for State Assembly Member Greg Aghazarian.

Over a decade beginning in 1996, Megan Huntsman gave birth to at least seven babies in her home at Pleasant Grove, Utah. One died at birth and the other six were strangled or suffocated, their bodies concealed in boxes that were stored in the garage, she told police, according to documents released by state authorities on Monday.
Huntsman, 39, was being held on $6 million bail -- $1 million for each of the babies she is accused of killing -- after a preliminary court appearance on Monday, a spokesman for the Utah County jail told the Los Angeles Times. Formal charges are expected by next week, according to the Utah County prosecutors.
According to the probable cause affidavit released by authorities, Huntsman told police that she had given birth to "at least seven babies" between 1996 and 2006. Each body was "wrapped in either a towel or a shirt, placed inside of a plastic bag, and each was contained in a separate cardboard box" all stored in the garage.
No motive is described in the court papers. Nor does the statement deal with how Huntsman was able to avoid any questions from neighbors or her older children about her pregnancies.
According to the affidavit, police on Saturday responded to a report that a dead baby had been found at the garage in Pleasant Grove, about 35 miles from Salt Lake City. The complaint had been filed by Darren West, Huntsman's estranged husband who had been convicted of drug-related charges.
Pleasant Grove Police Capt. Michael Roberts said officers believe West and Huntsman were together when the babies were born.
"We don't believe he had any knowledge of the situation," Roberts told the Associated Press.
Asked how West could not have known about the situation, Roberts replied, "That's the million-dollar question. Amazing."
When West confronted Huntsman, she admitted that the dead baby was hers and said it had been stillborn in 2006, according to the affidavit. West then contacted authorities.
"The baby was well preserved and appeared to be full term," according to the probable cause affidavit. "A search warrant was obtained for the home and during the execution of the warrant, officers discovered six additional bodies. The bodies all appeared to be infants."
The recovered remains were being examined to determine the exact cause of death. DNA tests are also expected to confirm the parentage.
Huntsman has three daughters — one teenager and two young adults — who lived at the house.
Late Sunday, West's family issued a statement saying they were in a "state of shock and confusion."
"We are mourning this tragic loss of life and we are trying to stay strong and help each other through this awful event," the statement said, adding a request for privacy.
West pleaded guilty in federal court in 2005 to two counts of possessing chemicals intended to be used in manufacturing methamphetamine. In August 2006, he was sentenced to nine years in prison but appealed the sentence, according to court records, cited by the news service. He maintained his innocence and said he never had any intention to manufacture meth.
