China to open twwhat do the colorful rubber bracelets meano border tourism pilot zonesBeautiful Phone Holder The climate is warming up, and you may have heard are getting longer. This situation folks, implies is patio parties, swimming pool trips, and afternoons as park using kids.
BEIJING - China approved two border tourism pilot zones as part of efforts to boost the Belt and Road Initiative and pioneer national tourism reform and innovation, according to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism Friday.
The first zone is the China-Russia-Mongolia border city of Manzhouli in North China"s Inner Mongolia autonomous region. It has the largest number of annual exits and entries of any port along the China-Russia border, the ministry said.
Another zone, Fangchenggang in South China"s Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, is the largest port in West China and also the country"s gateway to the waters of ASEAN countries. Express roads and railways in the region are linked with the country"s transportation network.
An express passenger liner between Fangchenggang and Vietnam has opened and a high-speed railway between Fangchenggang and the China-Vietnam border city of Dongxing is under construction.
The two zones will provide faster customs clearance and more convenient services for travellers who drive themselves or travel in groups. Policies on tourism investment and financing, land, and human resources will be improved and implemented, said the ministry.
China"s borders stretch more than 22,000 kilometers, separating China from 14 other countries. The country earned a total of 5.4 trillion yuan (about $858.8 billion) from tourism in 2017, up 15.1 percent year on year.
China plans to raise tourism revenue to 7 trillion yuan by 2020 in a bid to develop tourism as a major driver of economic transformation and upgrading.cool bracelets to make with rubber bandsmens wristband online shoppingcrossfit silicone wristbandscolor filled wristbandmy chemical romance rubber bracelet

Krytox 217GPL Extreme Pressure Grease .5KG Tub
DuPont ™ Krytox®
GPL Extreme Pressure Grease
Spec Sheet
Extreme Pressure (EP)
DuPont™ Krytox® heavy-duty greases are used for high loading or slow speeds. EP greases have high load-carrying capability and good lubrication characteristics under boundary and mixed friction conditions. In addition to the EP additive in Krytox® heavyduty greases, Krytox® oil provides adequate EP protection as an oil by itself, due to the viscosity build under load and its unique tribo-chemistry. A common test for analyzing EP performance is the Timken EP method, ASTM D2509. The test is performed by applying pressure between a rotating steel cup and a steel block and simulates line contact conditions. Two conditions are observed; the OK Load is the highest load at which no seizing or welding occurs, and it also reflects the load-carrying capability of the lubricant. The Score Load is the lowest load at which seizing or welding is observed. The scar width, which is the average scar width at the load corresponding to the OK load valve, is also recorded. The Timken EP results for various Krytox® greases can be seen in Table 1, Timken EP Method.
Grease Composition
Standard Krytox® grease is formed by blending PFPE base oil with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) powder with the following chemical structure: F F | | – (C — C)n – | | F F Using a fluorinated thickener gives the grease a similar temperature and chemical stability as the base oil, allowing it to be used also in harsh, demanding conditions. The point of adding thickener is to hold the oil near the contact point. The thickener provides a barrier to keep the oil from flowing away from the contact point, allowing for adequate long-term lubrication without the need of a complicated oil recirculation system. The CAS Registry Number for PTFE is 9002-84-0.

October 12, 10:00-11:30am
Workshop with Myriam Allard (la otra Orilla): Technique & Bulerias
3rd Floor Dance Space Arts and Culture Centre
Cost: $30 per workshop or $50 for both.
Classes will start with a full body warm-up, bringing awareness on the breath and focusing on grounding the weight and the movement. The technical part of the class will include pulsation and rhythm exercises, zapateado / footwork technique, building stamina, and gaining fluidity in the movement. A solid flamenco technique is crucial. Not only is it your vocabulary, it is also gives you freedom, depth and nuance as a dancer.
Class will also include improvisation exercises and choreography por bulerias.
Myriam Allard
Sensitive to the world of music and dance from very early childhood, Myriam Allard's life changed when she discovered flamenco. At the age of 21, she left Quebec to travel to Spain, where she lived for six years. After intensive training, she began dancing professionally at the traditional tablaos flamencos in Spain, Japan, France and Germany. Drawing strength from her rigorous European training and extensive professional experience, Allard's dance breaks free of the traditional esthetic boundaries to develop an idiom that combines the instinctive and the impulsive with great sensitivity and refinement. She now lives in Montreal, where she founded La Otra Orilla in 2006 with singer and director Hedi Graja. Within this company, she has developed a unique choreographic expression and produced seven different shows that have toured Canada, the US, South America and Great-Britain with much success.
Myriam Allard has been teaching flamenco for 18 years and has taught in Québec, Canada, the US, Spain, Japan, Germany, France and Colombia. The level of her students goes from the very beginner to the professional dancer, age 3 to 75.
October 12, 2:00-5:00pm
Workshop with Alicia Grant
Even if it's Clown
3rd Floor Dance Space Arts and Culture Centre
One day I realized that my next artistic thrust might be clown. Clown: I've never done it before, except that maybe I have. Where did this impulse come from?
How can you give shape to the life that needs to be lived through you? Through our moving bodies, we might discover a complex system of how to listen, direct, and take action. Intuition is a huge bag. We don't have to logically digest it. Together, we will dance to big sounds and little sounds. We will make sound from the back of our brains and the bottoms of our feet.
Let's open the door to possibilities ~ even it it's clown.

Happy-hour or a workout?
Stop choosing.
Support local bands while you give it your all on an exercise bike! After your workout, grab a beer or a smoothie and salad at the bar, make new friends, and build a community in the concrete jungle.

Heather Lee Miller - Manager & Booking
Drummer and Andover, MA native, Heather played in clubs like this all around the country. Especially in bigger cities with financial pressure on small clubs, some pass that on to bands with requirements that bands buy a minimum number of tickets to their own shows. As a musician it's important to Heather that The Jungle will never do that. Despite rents going up in Somerville, The Jungle will never make bands pay to play. Heather played in original bands of genres ranging from hard rock to alternative; including Scour, Decoded, and Eye for None; as well as classic rock cover bands. Heather worked on both sides of the stage, as a performer and also as a server and manager at many restaurants. Heather will make The Jungle the best place for employees, customers, and musicians. Heather has been a music teacher and a full time music student where she met a lot of great musicians. Not everyone has the time or money to be a full time music student, so Heather most enjoys hosting the free open mic every Wednesday. Personally Heather's favorite music is country and rock, among others.
Sam Epstein - Manager & Owner
First and foremost a music fan, that's why Sam wanted to open The Jungle. As a fan there is no better place to visit or work than a local rock club. That concept has already been perfected and that's what The Jungle is after 8pm. However, Sam wanted a better way to make friends and build a real community of people who want to support local music and go to more shows. There will never be an app for that. But now there is a community music club in the concrete jungle, with a variety of activities for people to join daily. Sam is a Somerville resident, a renter, and he worked for years in restaurants, retail, and software. One of the only constants throughout his career was the choice between happy hour or a workout. Now Sam rides in the world's first live band cycling classes. It takes a lot of privilege to open a club that focuses on your favorite activities, and to put references to your favorite hair metal bands in the menu. But Sam is a fan of all local music and enjoys seeing all genres performing live.

Bondi Band Giveaway ****CLOSED! No Entries after 8AM EST 2/5/09****/
UPDATE: 2/5/09 8AM EST: This giveaway is closed, peeps! I'll be drawing the winners this morning!! Stay tuned!
I am so excited about Bondi Bands, that in addition to ordering two for myself, I'm going give two away to my lovely blog readers. It's a Bondi Band celebration. I'm all about sharing the wealth. Jogger's Life is a purely socialist society. Sorry...no capitalism allowed. If I got it, then you're gettin it. Because I love you.
All you have to do is comment this post and let me know why you want a Bondi Band.
I'll tell you why I wanted a Bondi Band: My hair is annoying. The end.
I kid, I kid.
In all seriousness, my hair is short now, and I can't pull it all back or I get this really silly looking stub of a ponytail (a ponystub?) on the back of my head. It just looks ridiculous. Then the pony holder slips out of my hair and onto the treadmill. I become distracted, lose my footing, bash my head on the treadmill display, slide down the belt, off the back of the treadmill and land in a heap on the disgusting gym floor. Ok not really. But I'm just sayin...the last thing I need to be worrying about when I'm snotting, hacking, and gasping for air while running is whether my hair is going to stay out of my sweaty face.
So...someone mentioned Bondi Band to me, I checked out their website, and it seemed like the ideal solution. They said all of the right words. Their slogan is "where fashion meets function." Aaah...music to my ears.
I haven't tried out my Bondi Band yet, so I can make no guaranties about their effectiveness, but as soon as I receive them I shall try and see. In the meantime, I want you guys to win them now so that I can promptly send them out to you as soon as I receive them from Bondi Band.
So...comment away. Tell me why you need one, and I'll use the random number generator to pick two lucky winners next week!
Good luck!
Lastly, I have been trying to upload my coupon video to Youtube for the past 24 hours. I don't know why its not working, but I do know that it's irritating me. Now that I finally have made the vid, Youtube is taking 24 hours to upload it. I'm going to keep trying, so stay tuned!

I created this project in collaboration with visually impaired (VI) members of the Royal National College for the Blind (RNC), to expand public understanding of VI. Based on interviews, I created a series of portraits of people with different VI, in the way that they see.
This project was created for the 'Capable Minds' exhibition, to to celebrate the lives that people with dementia can live despite disease; to show that dementia does not define an individual.
This project shed light to plastic pollution issue throughout the pacific ocean, to encourage people to help "Reverse Our Oceans".
The Asiatic Cheetah is one of many animals at risk of extinction. An article in the Guardian discusses how the Asiatic Cheetah is endangered partly because of the expansion of farm lands causing natural habitat loss.
Many people think Obsessive Compulsive disorder (OCD) is 'merely being clean and tidy', and do not give the disorder the same recognition as other mental health disorders. This project aims to educate the general public about what OCD truly is, so that OCD sufferers are more understood throughout society.

Plié (French – "bending" or "bent"; pronounced "plee-ay") is one of the foundational movements in ballet technique.
A great majority of ballet steps begin and/or end with a plié, which means that a dancer bends at the knees. Ballet classes most often begin with a plié combination to warm up the legs and stretch out the leg muscles, and jumps end in plié rather than straight legs to prevent strain on the legs, protect the knees, and maintain balance when landing.
Plié can be done in multiple different positions and on one or both legs.
Demi Plié
In a demi plié, the dancer bends the knees to the lowest point they can without lifting the heels or shifting the hips. Once the dancer hits this point, they then straighten the knees again.
Demi Plié in First Position:
Demi Plié in Second Position:
Demi Plié in Third Position:
Demi Plié in Fourth Position Ouverte and Croisé:
Demi Plié in Fifth Position:
Grand Plié
A grand plié is similar to a demi plié, except that the knees bend even further and the hips come closer to the ground than in a demi. In the first, third, fourth croisé, and fifth positions, the heels come off of the ground once the dancer reaches the maximum bend in their demi plié and then continues the movement downward into a full grand plié. Once the dancer has reached the bottom of the grand plié and begins to rise back up to a standing position, the heels are placed back on the ground as soon as possible so that the dancer passes through a demi plié once more before straightening the legs completely. In second position and fourth ouverte, the heels remain on the ground for the entire grand plié.
Grand Plié in First and Second Position:
Explanation and Example:
Begin in first position with straight legs. Bend the legs slowly, with the knees going out over the toes and leaving the heels on the ground. Slowly straighten the legs again. This is an example of a demi (half) plié. A grand (full) plié is done exactly the same, except the dancer bends the knees even further and comes closer to the ground, allowing the heels to come up off of the ground at the lowest point (except for second position and fourth position croisé, in which the heels always remain on the ground for both demi and grand plié).
Tips for performing a technically correct and safe plié:
– Be cautious not to roll in towards the inside of the foot/arch or to roll out towards the back of the foot/arch. Rolling to one side of the foot or the other can put a strain on the foot muscles, as well as cause knee pain and/or injury. The foot should always be as flat as on the floor as possible when standing and while in plié.
– Make sure to always keep the knees over the toes to protect the knees and prevent injury. When done correctly, there should be an invisible line from the middle of the foot (second/third toe) straight up to the center of the kneecap.
– When performing plié (especially grand plié), be careful not to "sit" in your plié. This means that you have allowed yourself to relax too much into the movement rather than continuing to engage the leg muscles.
– Keep the back up and make sure that the head, hips, and heels remain in the same invisible straight line up and down. An effective way to visualize the correct positioning for a plié is to imagine two walls, both in front and back of you, which do not allow you to lean either forward or backward. The dancer should move up and down this line seamlessly as if on an elevator.

If you're from Texas you know this venerable phrase, reminding you every morning to pack your cock (not Glock) in your knapsack (UD is so old she calls backpacks knapsacks) before you go to school. It's part of a campus-wide protest against the new conceal-carry-in-classrooms law.
UD, a fervent supporter of this nascent open dildoes movement, admits to struggling a bit with the concept, though. What is the connection between showing a dildo in public and protesting against people bringing concealed guns to university classes?
At first blush, the gesture sounds merely aesthetic:
Cocks Not Glocks, a [University of Texas Austin] protest group formed last fall, is urging students and others to openly carry the sex toys around campus, offering a multicolored counterpoint to the concealed weapons that holders of handgun licenses can now legally carry inside UT classrooms and most buildings.
One of the organizers elaborates:
"As long as you have a dick on your backpack, people will be thinking about the guns inside of other people backpacks" [Jessica] Jin said Tuesday, dildo strapped to her backpack.
So it's an aide–mémoire, a way of jogging your memory about the new fact of concealed guns all around you. Plus: obscene/obscene:
"The State of Texas has decided that it is not at all obnoxious to allow deadly concealed weapons in classrooms; however, it does have strict rules about free sexual expression, to protect your innocence. You would receive a citation for taking a dildo to class before you would get in trouble for taking a gun to class. Heaven forbid the penis."
However, the university has announced it's down with the dong, the more the merrier, go ahead with the dildoes, so the obscenity thing lacks a certain oomph.
I guess UD thinks of it as a counter-demonstration sort of thing, a provocative, amusing "response" to conceal carry… Also maybe a comment on guns as an aide-de-male-sexual-inadequacy-feelings? The gesture certainly skews female, certainly suggests a mordant womanly comment on boys and their toys…
Anyway there's a rally on campus today and you should go if you're in town because there's something deeply shameful – not to mention dangerous- about so many guns out and about in states like Texas. UD doesn't blame the UT architecture dean for resigning and moving to a non-lunatic state in response to campus carry (which, if I know Texas, will very soon be campus open carry), and she certainly hopes other faculty follow. Already a number of people who had planned to enroll as UT students have announced they'll go to gun-free schools instead. And now you've got the dildo brigade, which is at once amusing and deadly serious.

The big news this week is General Motors' decision to cull its lineup, closing plants and sacking about 15 percent of its North American workforce in the process. According to Chief Executive Officer Mary Barra, GM's official reasons for doing so are all part of its grand plan to transition to a company focused on electric vehicles and self-driving cars.
While we harbor a vague suspicion that the automaker is actually trying to prepare itself for an incoming economic downturn, leaving itself with plenty of financial wiggle room, GM currently enjoys relatively healthy profits (thank you, truck sales) and a lofty share price. In fact, GM shares rose nearly 5 percent after it announced the shuttering of several plants in the U.S. and Canada, cutting as many as 14,800 jobs.
Unfortunately, GM's investors seem to be the only group that's pleased with the decision. Everyone else appears to be absolutely furious.
President Donald Trump, who campaigned on the promise of keeping jobs in America, said he had spoken to Barra via phone ahead of GM's Monday announcement. During their discussion, Trump said he expressed his displeasure with the decision, noting that General Motors owes the United States for saving it during the Great Recession, and urged her to open up another plant in the Midwest to mitigate job losses in the region.
However, he sounded less cordial in a later interview with The Wall Street Journal. "They better damn well open a new plant there very quickly," Trump said. "I told them, 'You're playing around with the wrong person.'"
Trump was far from alone in his condemnation of General Motors. According to Bloomberg, members from both parties criticized the company's plan to cut its workforce, citing government aid the company has received over the last decade — everything from the 2009 federal bailout of the auto industry to the $1.5 trillion tax cut that went into effect in late 2017.
"The company reaped a massive tax break from last year's GOP tax bill and failed to invest that money in American jobs," Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown tweeted, describing GM's move "corporate greed at its worst."
Arno Hill, mayor of Lordstown, Ohio (where GM intends to stop production of the Chevrolet Cruze next year), said the mood in the small town was less than chipper. "I will say I'm not the happiest guy in town," Hill said in a phone interview with Bloomberg. He added he was hopeful that General Motors would eventually use the facility to assemble a new product. "They said they were ceasing production, not shuttering."
Jim Graham, the former president of the United Automobile Workers local that covers employees at the Lordstown plant, called the announcement "depressing." Meanwhile, Representative Tim Ryan, a Democrat whose district includes Lordstown, said he would pursue congressional hearings over how GM spent billions of dollars in tax cuts.
"The American people deserve to know if the tax cuts they paid for are being used to inflate corporate profits at the expense of their economic security and the survival of American workers," Ryan wrote in a letter to leaders of the House Ways and Means Committee.
Some who supported those cuts have even turned on the automaker. Senator Rob Portman, a Republican from Ohio who endorsed corporate tax cuts last year as a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee, said he was "deeply frustrated with General Motors' decision."
However, not everyone is ready to bite the head off of the company. Steve Rattner, head of former President Barack Obama's auto task force (which facilitated the GM and Chrysler bailouts), said the automaker's announcement shouldn't be confused as violation of the bailout agreement. From his point of view, the industry has changed immensely since 2009 and companies need to be able to evolve and adapt.
"No, I don't think these violate the 2009 agreement, in part because we always made clear that GM should be free to run its business in the ordinary course," Rattner said. "It's important for GM to be free to adjust its business accordingly."
Officially, that's exactly what General Motors is doing. Its autonomous and electric vehicle development programs have been costly. But its new revenue streams, many of which are heavily dependent upon connectivity and new tech, haven't had sufficient time to make up the difference — assuming they will. In the interim, the company's restructuring aims to save about $6 billion.
"The actions we are taking today continue our transformation to be highly agile, resilient and profitable, while giving us the flexibility to invest in the future," GM's Barra explained.
Is it sketchy? Maybe a little, but corporations are rarely worried about anything other than their bottom line. General Motors can't offer anyone a job if it folds. However, the issue that has everyone's feathers so ruffled seems to stem from the manufacturer not yet being in dire straits. Of course, even though the left and right seem to be largely in agreement on this, it hasn't stopped like-minded individuals from participating in political feuds.
Not One Penny, a progressive campaign launched specifically to oppose any Republican plan that serves to approve tax cuts on corporations or the very wealthy, has estimated GM saved at least $500 million last December. "General Motors' decision to gut its workforce epitomizes the bad corporate behavior Republicans in Congress have incentivized for generations," said spokesman Ryan Thomas. "Instead of using its massive tax savings to increase employee wages or invest in its workforce, GM is shuttering plants and cutting jobs to increase profits and further enrich shareholders."

Hold up a sec, Akear.
Every other thread on this site regarding the GM closings you have taken every opportunity to trash the product that GM offers. So, now you want them to continue making the same product you claim is trash?
I am terribly confused as to your position on this matter. Should GM continue to manufacture cars that it seems pretty much no one, other than rental car companies or corporate fleet managers, wants to purchase? If so, how will you react when the corporation needs another bailout because they have stacks of cars on the ground that can't be moved without massive incentives that will cost billions?
Based on your posts on other threads, I would think nothing short of a full GM closure would suffice for you.

This is exactly what the right leaning free marketeers were screaming when the "Bailouts" took place during the Bush/Obama uni-party era. Socialize losses and privatize profits. I will never forget the commenters on this site and you know who your are and are still here, ranted up and down how the whole country faced imminent death if we did not bail out GM and Chrysler and the Big Banks. Furthermore, those who did not adhere to this ideology were said to be economic neanderthals.
Fast forward 2018. Same old dinosaur GM producing even more crap. GM cars are essentially Chinese assembled knock down kits whose wonky electronics, bean counted under-engineered internal mechanical parts and hide from the truth killer safety equipment still thinking lingers on within the top floors of Ren-Cen. A "managed – decline" with those at the top feeding off the demise of an American Institution.
GM should have gone through a proper Bankruptcy with assets sold off to the highest bidder. However, if that happend the dems would have lost a huge funding mechanism and the Neo con Repubs would have lost their ace in the whole manufacturing infrastructure to build the material for the next fake enemy / war.

I feel the same way. The market decided that in 2008.
Bailouts, handouts and nationalization were ill-advised then, and here we are again.
A streamlined GM is better, yes, but that should have been done in 2009 at the first re-organization, And there were plenty of ttac's B&B who said so at that time.

HalftruthNovember 27th, 2018 at 3:35 pm
Totally agree with CaddyDaddy here. GM should have gone through the bankruptcy and taken its lumps. On the other hand, at least they are trying to adapt. It would be foolish to expect GM (or any other automaker) to continue to produce products that are not selling. Would we prefer they continue making sedans and then taking another bailout?
I think not. The times are a-changin'..

Yes GM bankruptcy should have been a true bankruptcy.
At least then assets would have been auctioned off and we would see what the market wanted.
If a bunch of venture capitalists had wanted to buy the factory where the Sky and Solstice were being produced and make another generation the could have bid at auction (as an example.)

GM just bided their time, came out with some half ass "green cars" and promises of keeping jobs, made sure to make a female CEO from human resources (snort) to virtue signal, then just moved everything to China when they had an opening.
Even if your okay with the bailouts, Chinese outsourcing, screwing over the taxpayers that bailed them out, etc. GM has been making junk for a while and i'm amazed there's still suckers that line up and buy them.

Donald's "HUGE" tax cuts as per the article were $500 million per month in savings for GM.
500M x 12 months = $6 Billion
GM pockets $6 Billion that Donald thought up to give them, while GM thinks of ways to save up to replace the $6 Billion that was suddenly up for grabs

bigoted misogyny aside, if Trump supporters wanted to "Save" these jobs, they'd be out buying these cars that are being cancelled.
Instead, they did what most people feel free to do: Buy what they want. And what they wanted wasn't what GM was making.
Let's hope GM is better at fixing that end of the equation in the future, and at the same time, perhaps the electorate will learn their lesson – tax cuts do NOT necessarily lead to more money for workers, or more jobs, no matter how much corporate-lobbied politicians might like to convince them otherwise.

I well know what the workers are going to be going through, some will retire (with a buyout) some will stay put and hope for the best, others will take a transfer to another plant/state (when there are openings). I went through 2 plant closings at Dana and 3 plants for GM! the last being Saturn in Tn. we were told Saturn was going to be a 100 year old company with NO layoffs, fortunately by the time we went back to being exclusively GM and losing our Chevy Traverse line to Michigan I had enough time in to retire. what a relief that was! finally after 40 + years in the auto plants (from 1968 – 2011) I had reached retirement! hang in there workers and don't be afraid to go where the jobs are.

This is exactly right.
The bailout was 10 years ago. I didn't support it, but it's history now.
However, there should be accountability for corporate welfare deals, but I don't know if any are still in effect for these plants.

Ms Barra's first and foremost obligation is to GM shareholders. Everything else is secondary. Yes, even the tax payers that bailed out GM, because the gov'ts were foolish to do so.
It would have been better for GM if they had made stuff that people would actually buy, but they didn't.
This is the flip side of that supply/demand coin.

"Ms Barra's first and foremost obligation is to GM shareholders. Everything else is secondary."
Very much this. GM brass has a legally binding responsibility to create shareholder value as their top priority.
Somehow folks became convinced that would never clash with jobs or social responsibility. I'm not sure how that came to be, but this is an example of why that's a very naive viewpoint.
If you want/expect businesses to do what's right for the public, rather than just what's right for investors, then a much larger change is necessary. Be it a change to what type A corporations are responsible for, accountability requirements for tax breaks, what have you.
But as long as you have politicians voted in on platforms of "more business at any cost", then no-strings-attached tax breaks and less regulation is what you'll get instead. And, as always, it's the worker and the public-at-large who will suffer while priority investors get their due, because the law literally requires it to be that way.

The complaint is that GM isn't using its tax cut to pay for work management believes the company doesn't need. I can't see how it will benefit from increasing the number of unsold vehicles stored in parking lots.

So makers like Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Hyundai, Subaru, Kia, VW, and Mazda still make non-luxury-priced sedans; since those preferring sedans haven't exactly dropped to zero, these co.'s will get that business. Seems the jury's out on whether 100% of buyers will soon favor only trucks or crossovers; a sales drop isn't proof positive that any trend will continue, forever and ever, amen.
Is there some magical reason that, for example, an S/CUV (Nissan Kicks?) can be profitable, but not a similarly-priced Versa or Sentra?

On paper, a Kicks and a Versa Note are about the same size, and have the same powertrain. There shouldn't be a fundamental material cost difference between the two. And yet, Nissan is asking about $3k more for a comparably equipped Kicks.

GM should be free to run its business according to its own strategy?? Fine, then GM and any other large companies should be free to go out of business according to their own strategies. The government should not use tax money to bail out GM, Chrysler or the banks. If you want to live via unfettered capitalism, you should be resigned to die by unfettered capitalism. Meanwhile corporate profits are at an all time high and most government (state and federal) revenues are funded by personal income taxes. Let us return to the Eisenhower era of higher corporate taxes to fund government programs, like infrastructure, health and education. If corporations import from other nations where they have significantly lower tax structures, lets use the tariff there. Or lets switch to a national VAT tax to level the playing field. Workers should not be taxed to allow shareholders to profit. All profits need to be taxed for societal purposes.

1) Why can Toyota, Honda, Mercedes, BMW, etc all still manufacture and sell sedans? Even FCA still makes something on its 300/Charger siblings. So why can't GM?
2) The 'trickle down' theory of economics is again proven to be a charade. Cut corporate taxes and what happens? Bigger executive bonuses, greater dividends to shareholders and higher stock prices.
3) The only way to return manufacturing to 1st world nations is through tariffs. However global corporations vehemently oppose tariffs. As do free market capitalists. So despite all the rhetoric, we will continue to see more trade agreements.
4) The bail-out is old news. During a massive recession it helped to retain/maintain much needed jobs. GM's executives and engineers however do not appear to have become that much smarter or more efficient/effective since then. Additionally the governments of the USA and Canada should have held at least some of their shares, thereby retaining spots on the Board and some influence on corporate decisions. Like VW, where the government of Lower Saxony retains 20% of voting rights in the corporation.

The thing with Nissan, Toyota, Honda- their volume sedans of 5 years ago (Altima, Camry, Accord respectively) are losing near double digit percentages year over year while their CUV offerings (Rogue, RAV4, CRV) are now considered the highest selling names under that brands umbrella.
Even VW's volume Jetta is almost being surpassed by the Tiguan. BMW's X3 is gaining market share where their 3 series is losing it.

Current YTD sales on the 3 series is barely over 38k while the X3 is nearly 48k. VW Jetta is at 71k YTD while the Tiguan is at 87k.
GM/Ford are simply cutting those models that they recognize are sliding. Just wait, it won't be long before just about every brand- aside from niche market vehicles, all but abandon (or at the very least drastically reduce) sedans in the U.S.

Arthur, while they above still manufacture them lets not kid ourselves into thinking they sell them. We see the numbers on this site monthly of the sedan death watch. GM was always at the bottom of the heap, they are culling the herd. I am certain that within the next 12-18 months the above will be doing the same.
My predictions (not that anyone cares) for the future sedan offerings:
Toyota: Corolla & Camry ~Yaris, Prius, Mirai, Avalon Gone
Honda: Civic & Accord ~ Insight, Clarity, Fit Gone
BMW: 3 Series 5 Series 7 Series ~ 2, 4, 6, 8, I3, I8 Z4 Gone
Mercedes: E Class and S Class ~ all other coupe and sedan cars gone
FCA: Fiat etal: Gone
In the end GM cut 6 and Toyota will cut 4, perhaps five if you count the BRZ, which I am fairly certain they drop like a hot potato. Will we blast Toyota when they do the same?

I can't see the Prius disappearing. It's a halo model of sorts and there will always be some virtue signaling to be had. The small price gap between the Avalon and the Lexus ES however could easily remove the Avalon from the lineup.

Arthur, technology is killing manufacturing jobs, not trade. According to US government data, US manufacturing output has doubled (in constant dollars) since NAFTA was signed, while direct manufacturing employment has declined by 1/3. Manufacturing is increasingly automated, which wipes out many low and unskilled jobs, replacing a small number of them with jobs that require post secondary technical or engineering education. That's reality, and it's not going away.
We've been proving since at least 1846 that tariffs kill jobs and reduce prosperity. Smoots-Hawley, for example, wasn't exactly a roaring success…
I do agree with you on "trickle-down". Perversely, GM's top executives may well get bigger bonuses for closing these plants – in most public companies, bonuses are tied to operating or pre-tax profits, excluding extraordinary items. So, they get credit for reduced labour and other costs, and no penalty for the costs associated with implementing the shutdown and related layoffs. Sweet deal!

Chrysler can still make money on the LX cars because some of the tooling and design is 20+ years old. GM and Ford are choosing to not introduce replacements for current models because they don't believe sales will be there long enough to recover the investment in designing new versions.

Oh that Mark Reuss had been selected for CEO. With him they may have had a chance. This crazy decision makes it guilt free for me to buy my first vehicle not built by GM. I wish GM every success in the Chinese market. I will buy a 65% US content Highlander made in the South. I've been waiting for GM to build a Volt-based CUV or SUV but no, they care more about money from trucks than quality, customer loyalty, and listening to what people want. How hard would it have been to scale up the Bolt even? Sad. And with all this bad news they give no real info on future vehicles. So I guess all the Voltec vehicles they promised over the next couple of years are out now too. My Dad spent 30 years at Olds and this would have been very hard on him were he here today. Say what you want about Wagner but he took care of the workers as GM went down in 08′-09′

My frustration on this situation isn't the lost jobs, or government bailouts, or keeping the stock price up, or the (maybe) misuse of money . . . . . .
It's that fact that once again, like they've repeatedly done since at least 1990 (you can probably show evidence for up to ten years earlier) that every time General Motors has found itself in a tight spot, it's sole tactic is to get smaller, drop product, and back up. I swear, it's the only corporate philosophy they know. And they have an inability to come up with anything excellent enough to compete with the other big guns in the industry. You know, come up with vehicles that'll make people want to look elsewhere than Toyota and Honda.
Yes, they're putting big money into a far future technology – while hamstringing themselves in the present and near future by taking the most conservative position possible. How many times have they done this in the past: drop product and markets to chase only what's absolutely hot right now, seemingly with damned little thought of what are they going to do if the market changes again?
And couple that with the big bet totally being placed on a technology that we're not sure if it's going to work at all, or, at least, will work anywhere other than limited access divided highways?

Yes, good products are a huge part to this, but I believe GM has more of a brand image problem than a product problem. Most of the vehicles on the chopping block are decent vehicles. Top of class? No, but a lot of the segment leaders sell based off of the brand image.
Current GM's problem with selling cars roots back to old GM. They manufactured bad, cheap, unreliable cars and that image has loomed over GM til this day. Ask someone about their 1990 Civic and they'll most likely have positive words. A 1990 Cavalier? Not so much. Current GM products are actually pretty competitive, but their image holds them down tremendously. It doesn't effect them as much in the hot CUV, SUV, & Truck segments.

Can't disagree with your statement. I wonder how the Chevrolet Volt would have sold if you could have given it a three word name where the first two words were "Toyota" and "Prius".
Same car, just a different image in the eyes of the consumer. It's why I can understand letting the Cruze go. In the "C" class, if it isn't a Corolla or a Civic, you're better off not spending the development money.

Given that there is a Prius plug-in, and it's been a bust sales-wise, I think your question answers itself. No one, not even Toyota, has really succeeded with plug-in hybrids. I think the tech was too expensive to begin with, and with pure EVs improving, it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

What's currently happening is just a symptom of GM's long predicted transformation into a Chinese automaker. Of course there won't be any need for American plants or workers when the transition is complete. Trump may be able slow down the transition just a tad, but even he won't be able to stop GM from eventually becoming Chinese Government Motors.

Things people look to GM for excellence: Corvettes, Camaros, Suburbans, Silverados and anythng else GM builds that's Body On Frame (BOF). Things people DO NOT look to GM for excellence: Boring Cars, Toyotas & Hondas; Mediocre Cars, Hyundai/Kia; Luxury Cars, Mercedes & Lexus; Weird Cars, Subaru. Apologies if I forgot your non-GM brand. GM still believes it's 1965 and all they gotta do is get you in a Chevy and move you right up Sloan's marketing ladder. The Japanese and the Europeans smashed that corporate marketing ladder in the 1970s and Hyundai/Kai getting their acts together just added gasoline and matches to the kindling. GM never, ever cared to build small cars and the Japanese flat out kicked their butts in that process. Through serendipity, the GM brass left the Bowling Green plant, the Suburban group, and the Silverado group alone and (thankfully) unbothered by corporate brainstorms. Corvettes, Suburbans, and Silverado make GM money by the truckload (pun intended) by virtue of their soundness. A four cylinder Silverado may be evidence of trying rebuild in some "Corporate's New Shining Plan" a small but solid and world-wide respected foundation. Sorry bout the rambling.

I don't disagree with cutting unprofitable or low profit products like cars but I don't want the Government to bail out any auto company or any company in the future. If a business is too big to fail then maybe it should be allowed to fail. I wish GM and Ford success in their en-devours but I do not want to pay for their failures. Next time we should let the Chinese rescue GM since more of GM's future production is going to China along with the vehicle sales. I own GM made vehicles and don't have any issues with them but there are plenty of other manufacturers with competitive products. I don't have any problems buying a vehicle produced by a Japanese or South Korean manufacturer especially if it is made in the USA. My wife has a CRV which is very good.

Chrysler under Iaccoca did pay back their Government loan in full early but not this last time. If it happens again then let China buy GM and FCA. I would say the same thing if Ford fails as well.

Fair comment. If you recall I saw this coming years ago. The US Big 3 are not competitive globally. They are only afloat in the US because no other country globally manufactures cheap large pickups and pickup based SUVs. Contrary to what many consider, if other nations had large pickups and cheap large SUVs the Big 3 would not exist today.
The Big 3 had better hope the Chicken Tax and other technical import barriers remain.
I fear the Big 3 are now in a fragile position and will realise a slow death, like Ford and GMH (Again Big 3) in Australia encountered.
One thing many on this site don't realise the US auto manufacturers recieve more handouts than any other country. They recieve 2.5 times the Germans who are second. So the Trump import tariffs are a joke and lie.
It took 30 years to wean the Aussie auto manufacturers off of handouts. The US is in the same boat.

Just to add another voice to what many have already said – adjusting what they make to take advantage of what the buying public appears to want is not an inappropriate step for GM to take. Forcing GM to manufacture vehicles few are wanting to purchase – as implied by the current administration's "urging" and other's comments – is stupid in more ways than one.

The Importance of Establishing Our Own Language
This is a post that I've meant to make for the longest. This post deals, specifically, with establishing a code. The most crucial element of navigating White supremacy is our ability to communicate with each other without being censored. Furthermore, we need to limit hecklers and eavesdroppers as best as possible. Therefore, creating—or instead choosing—a different language to use amongst each other is essential. Now, it takes various elements of creativity to create a language from scratch. Moreover, I'm not equipped to do that. However, we don't have to. Back in elementary school, I remember we had to learn Pig-Latin for a little bit of time. It was a very short duration for which we had to learn Pig-Latin. Moreover, after that small measure of time, I never had to use it again. However, in today's times, using a unique language to encode our messages is more important than ever. Many notable YouTubers are routinely blocked for speaking unfavorable truths about the dominant society. White supremacist suspects go intentionally troll and report their content. Furthermore, since YouTube is a White supremacist controlled medium owned by Google—which also has White supremacists laden throughout its company culture—Melanese content-creators' videos are routinely taken down. Moreover, their channels are lost. This is all because White supremacist suspects don't like their content. Moreover, YouTube aims to please these White supremacist suspects. However, speaking an unknown language would open the lines of communication. Also, it'd stop videos from being taken down so much. It's harder to flag something as hate speech or bullying when one doesn't even know what's being said. Of course, this means that we'd have to get on code as well and learn Pig-Latin. However, the benefit would be that we could hold meaningful conversations with each other in public without outsiders peering in to learn our movements and strategies. (This doesn't mean that we should hold important conversations in public.) We don't own any major mediums. So, we can at least practice the same language. Furthermore, I'm talking about speaking Pig-Latin worldwide as our universal language. This way we can communicate with one another across the globe.
Now, many of you are probably thinking that White supremacist suspects will just learn this language and things will return to the way that they are. However, this is where you're wrong. The purpose of speaking a different language isn't to eliminate eavesdropping from outsiders; that's impossible. The purpose is to raise the difficulty of eavesdropping. Now, White supremacist suspects won't be able to just wander around us and listen in. They'll have to take the time to learn our language 1st in order to listen in. Many of them aren't going to do that; only the staunchest will go that far. Moreover, if you still don't believe me, why do jobs pay more money to multi-lingual employees? It's because speaking more than one's native language is still considered novel. Most people in the United States only speak English unless they derive from a different country—or their roots lie in a different country. For people born here—without parents from another country—unless grade school formally teaches them how to speak another language, most aren't going to bother learning one. So, the same thing will apply here. So, most of us need to get down and learn Pig-Latin so that we can start codifying our messages.

If you've ever been in my apartment, you'll quickly notice how it looks like a Positive Fairy threw up everywhere. No matter what room you're in or which corner you turn, there is sure to be some sort of motivational quote waiting for you to read. Have you ever tried to smile and not feel a sense of joy? It doesn't work. Even if you're the saddest of the sad, smiling will instantly make you feel a small fraction better. Motivational quotes do the same for me. On a sad day I can turn any corner of my apartment and find a quote reminding me it's okay.
I started writing this blog because I've always felt like I was meant to do something big. Be a motivational quote on a wall for someone when they're having a tough day. As much as I write about being positive and attacking your goals, I also want to remind everyone that I am just as human as you are. If you cut me I will bleed, if you hurt me I will cry. I need to be motivated too.
Every month a pick a monthly quote, and I write it up on this HUGE chalk board that sits above my desk. Every morning when I'm getting ready for work I take 5 seconds to read my quote out loud, and every night before I go to bed I make sure to read it again. Including this into one of my many "routines" has taught me 4 things.
1. To Reflect
Every month when I'm picking a new quote, there is a moment where I have to erase the old one. It's actually quite liberating! It feels as if I'm wiping the old month away and I'm starting on a new one…an actual CLEAN SLATE!
2. To Pause
When I'm reading my quote I"m thinking of nothing else besides the quote in front of me. I stop, clear my mind, and then read. It's helped me practice mindfulness and staying in the moment.
3. Be Selfish
This is MY quote. I choose it based on how I feel. I am the only one who knows why I chose this quote. It's my time to be selfish.
4. To keep going
New month, new quote. Choosing a new quote helps me with my mindset and working towards the things I want to achieve. It's something I can focus on for the month and a reminder of why I do the things I do.
What's your monthly quote? Have you ever thought about picking one? Your life is completely in your control. What are your goals and how are you going to get there? The little things matter and if something as small as picking a monthly quote can help you achieve your goal, then why not?
I know some of the things I write about can seem silly..making your bed, writing down what you're grateful for, picking a monthly quote.. but in the grand scheme of things, if doing these simple tasks will help me achieve my goals, then I'll do it. So if you're someone who hasn't taken the time to do the little things to help you achieve your goals, well to me, that's whats really silly.
Pick a quote.
