Some Progress.
When I generate an app with Architect, it creates app.js at the top level of the project as you noted above. If I create an empty app with Architect (drag nothing to the canvas) and subsequently run sencha generate app then the generate command runs to completion without errors. After the sencha generate command I have an app.js file at the top level and another one in the app/ subdirectory. How do I get both Architect and sencha cmd to use the same file?
When I generate an app with Architect and add anything to the canvas (so I can see something when previewing it), the sencha generate command errors out as detailed in my previous posts.
So the issue appears to be related to the two copies of app.js, one created and maintained by Architect, and another created by sencha generate app.
You noted something related to this in one of your posts, but since the error I see happens on the initial run of sencha generate, I do not have the option of editing the config file in the .sencha directory because that directory does not exist prior to running sencha generate app.
All I am trying to do is to set up a work flow where I generate and maintain an app with Architect and use sencha cmd to create a production build when needed.

Yeah I haven't seen this. You're making some sense. What framework version are you using and what version of Cmd?Phil Strong
12 Feb 2013 2:44 AM #13
I am running on Linux (Ubuntu 10.04)
Architect: 2.1.0 Build 678
Cmd: v220.127.116.11
ExtJs: 4.1.1a commercial
Here are the steps I followed - it is very repeatable:
- Create new project in Architect
- Edit the Library Base Path to point to the copy of ext-4.1.1a on my server
- Drag Panel to canvas
- Save and preview the app
- Close Architect
- cd to location of extJs-4.1.1a
- Execute: sencha generate app Test09 /var/www/Test09/
- Receive errors from sencha cmd shown below
[INF] Processing class inheritance graph[INF] Processing instantiation refereces to classes and aliases[WRN] [ [1000] : Yui Compressor Warning <> Trailing comma is not legal in an ECMA-262 object initializer => ] ] :: ( /var/www/Test09/ext/src/ux/grid/filter/DateFilter.js => 133 : 25 )[INF] Processing source dependencies[ERR] Failed to find file for Test09.view.Viewport required by /var/www/Test09/app/app.js[ERR] BUILD FAILED
Note that cmd is using app/app.js which is not the app.js that was created by Architect, but was generated by cmd during this process.

Tried to cut and paste code block into post #13 and it did not work. Please see code block in post #8 for detail of errors from cmd.
Note that cmd is using app/app.js which is not the app.js that was created by Architect, but is a template generated by cmd during this process.

Hello, I have a problem with building a native ios app on windows.
To be precise I tried a lot of different versions of sencha cmd and sdk. My latest attempts were executed according to this guide. I am using:
Sencha cmd v18.104.22.1688 and 2.1.1 framework version.
I created all the provisioning portal certificates etc. Got my bundle seed id. I generate the project then follow up with a production (or native I tried both) build. finally I try to package it using
sencha app package build packager.json
As I understand it the result (outpath) should contain a file MyApp.app that I can upload to my iTunes and further onto my device.
The thing is I get no file with that extension and the command line does not prompt me at all after I execute the last command. I get the cmd version empty line and that's it. However a file structure is created in the destenation folder.
The attached picture shows the output and here is my config file:
{ "applicationName":"BusinessGallery", "applicationId":"com.dps.businessgallery", "bundleSeedId":"xxxxxxxx", "versionString":"1.0", "versionCode":"1", "icon": { "57":"resources/icons/Icon.png", "72":"resources/icons/Icon~ipad.png", "114":"firstname.lastname@example.com", "144":"email@example.com" }, "inputPath":"build/BusinessGallery/production/", "outputPath":"build/", "configuration":"Release", "platform":"iOS", "deviceType":"Universal", "certificatePath":"ios_dev.p12", "certificatePassword":"*******", "provisionProfile":"Test_Profile.mobileprovision", "sdkPath":"/path/to/android-sdk", "androidAPILevel":"8", "permissions":[ "INTERNET", "ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE", "CAMERA", "VIBRATE", "ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION", "ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION", "CALL_PHONE"], "orientations": [ "portrait", "landscapeLeft", "landscapeRight", "portraitUpsideDown" ] }

I've not done a iOS build, but using Architect and sencha cmd 3 building an APK file this is what I had to do to get it to work. Might be some common issues for doing both builds for iOS and Android.
This may help some people.

During First Day on the Job Receives "Keys" to the Hospital
LITTLE ROCK, ARK. (July 15, 2013) – Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH) begins a new era today as Marcy Doderer, FACHE (Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives), starts her position as President and Chief Executive Officer of the state's only pediatric medical center. In a brief ceremony for employees and ACH supporters, Doderer addressed the community, expressing her excitement about leading ACH in its second century of service to Arkansas children.
Doderer also received the "keys" to ACH during the event from Tom Baxter, Chairman of the ACH Board of Directors. The gesture symbolized ACH's chief priority: unlocking a future in which children can be unburdened by injury and illness.
The ACH Board of Directors named Doderer to the hospital's top position in early May after an extensive national search. She follows Jonathan Bates, MD, who retired from the role on June 30 after 20 years of service.
"Marcy is a dynamic leader and brings experience that will help us navigate the uncertainty of healthcare in the years ahead and improve our quality and ability to better deliver a statewide system of care to Arkansas' kids," Baxter said when announcing Doderer's hire.
Doderer has 20 years of health care management experience in a variety of hospital settings. Most recently, she served as Vice President and Administrator of the Children's Hospital of San Antonio, part of the CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Health System. Doderer was instrumental in leading the transformation from a multi-use downtown hospital campus into the freestanding, separately licensed children's hospital. The new campus will be fully transformed by late 2014. She was responsible for facilitating the transition of academic partners from the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio (UTHSCSA) to Baylor College of Medicine and in partnership with Texas Children's Hospital.
"Throughout my health care career I've dreamed of leading an organization such as ACH and being able to do so in my home state of Arkansas creates a dream job," Doderer said. "For 100 years, ACH's focus has been on serving patients and their families; it is a humbling and exciting opportunity to be entrusted with leading that tradition. I look forward to working with the world class clinical teams and leaders to continue enhancing our patient care delivery systems and elevating our presence as a nationally recognized leader in pediatric subspecialty care."
From 2002-2008, Doderer held the position of Vice President/Associate Administrator for CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Children's Hospital. Prior to CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Children's, she served as Vice President for CHRISTUS St. Joseph's Health System in Paris, Texas; director, ancillary and support services for Texas Health Resources/McCuistion Regional Medical Center in Paris, Texas; and leadership positions from 1994-1999 at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas.
Doderer holds a master of arts in hospital and health administration from the University of Iowa. She received her bachelor of science in finance from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. Doderer serves on the boards of Children's Hospital Association, Children's Hospital Association of Texas, and South Texas Blood and Tissue Center's Foundation. She is a member of the Texas Hospital Association's Council on Policy Development and is a Fellow, American College of Healthcare Executives (FACHE).
Doderer is married to Mark Doderer, PhD, a computer science professor. They have two children, Emily, 18, and Katherine, 15. She is a graduate of Little Rock Central High School.
Arkansas Children's Hospital is the only pediatric medical center in Arkansas and one of the largest in the United States serving children from birth to age 21. Over the past century, ACH has grown to span 29 city blocks and house 370 beds, a staff of approximately 500 physicians, 80 residents in pediatrics and pediatric specialties and more than 4,000 employees. The private, nonprofit healthcare facility boasts an internationally renowned reputation for medical breakthroughs and intensive treatments, unique surgical procedures and forward-thinking medical research - all dedicated to fulfilling our mission of enhancing, sustaining and restoring children's health and development.

The Attorney General's Office has been asked by the Butler County Commonwealth Attorney's office to investigate Butler County Sheriff Kenneth Morris.
Commonwealth Attorney Tim Coleman, in a three-page written statement, says that he repeatedly asked Sheriff Morris to investigate more thoroughly a case involving receiving stolen auto parts and one of the Sheriff's personal friends. Coleman goes on to allege that Sheriff Morris did not interview key witnesses or complete a full investigation because he was trying to protect his friend.
In an interview with WBKO on Wednesday, Sheriff Morris denied those claims, saying he investigated the case, but was unable to find sufficient evidence that his friend, DeWayne Johnson, knew that he was trading for stolen merchandise. Johnson tells WBKO that he had no idea the parts, sold to him by a local resident were stolen.
Sheriff Morris says his department has repeatedly arrested family and friends if enough evidence is found to justify the arrest, including the recent arrest of two of Morris' cousins on meth-related charges.
Coleman's statement says he felt he had no choice but to ask the Attorney General's Office to investigate. Morris says he welcomes and will fully cooperate with the investigation, if it will help clear up the controversy.
Last week, a Butler County Grand Jury indicted Johnson on one count of receiving stolen property and one count of theft.

Chasing the Dragons Tail (9780912111322)
Publisher: Paradigm Publications
Binding: Paperback
At the culmination of their professional careers, great Oriental physicians often write books setting forth the mature versions of their clinical vision, their creations and accomplishments. Chasing the Dragon�s Tail is a book in this tradition, but one that also charts a course for future explorations. Thus, while it details Dr. Manaka�s clinical system in its fullest and most effective form, it is also an invitation to further investigation by one of the most inventive Oriental practitioners of the preceding generation.
The text introduces Dr. Manaka�s major clinical and theoretical accomplishments by describing how the "X-signal system" is the foundation of human topology, function, and response. In essence, the X-signal system defines qi, yin-yang, and the five phases as clinical events, just as traditional Oriental thinkers recognized these ideas through right-brain pattern recognition. While Dr. Manaka references some of the most advanced scientific thinking of our era -- information theory, holographic models and new paradigms -- his explanations are full of practical tests which readers can use to confirm his ideas for themselves. The core of the text is a complete description of Dr. Manaka�s treatment system. This is of great importance, not only because Dr. Manaka was recognized in both Japan and China as one of the foremost practitioners of his generation, but also because the system has already proven itself adaptable to many others. It is thus a clinical manual of unique value because it describes Dr. Manaka�s most important techniques: ion pumping and other root treatments, as well as his distinctive use of fire needles, channel stimulation techniques, sotai, moxibustion, and other modern Chinese and Japanese clinical developments. Beginning with a step-by-step template for formulating and confirming a diagnosis, Dr. Manaka provides the instructions necessary to apply these techniques quickly and with confidence. The text concludes with case histories and appendices that provide supporting technical details.Download a free chapter from the book by clicking here.

I've been reading a paper by R.Ramakrishna about lifting Galois representations and at some point he uses the fact that a representation with big image has trivial first cohomology group.
In other words, what i've been trying to prove (and failing at) is that given $p>5$ a prime, if $M$ is the group of trace zero $2\times 2$ matrices over $\mathbb{F}_p$ then:
$H^1(SL_2(\mathbb{F}_p),M) = 0$
where the action is given by conjugation.
My first approach was calculating the group $H^1(S_p,M)$, where $S_p$ is a $p$-sylow subgroup of $SL_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$. If it were trivial then the one that I want should be, because $M$ is a $p$-group, but it turns out it's not! (I think it's one dimensional).
Maybe there is some cohomological-theoretic reason I'm missing, thanks.

ANDERSON, S.C. – After helping lead the Trojans to four wins on the week, the Anderson University junior duo of Bri Cason and Katelynn Howser have been named the South Atlantic Conference Softball Player of the Week and SAC Pitcher of the Week, respectively, as announced by the conference office Tuesday morning.
Today marks just the second time this season that a team has swept the weekly honors and the first time Carson-Newman accomplished the feat on Feb. 18.
Cason earned the accolade for the first time in her three-year career after hitting .700 on the week, while recording a .900 slugging percentage. The stellar third baseman belted seven hits in 10 at-bats, including a pair of doubles and drove in two runs. Cason also drew a pair of walks to help lead AU into a tie for first place in the standings with its 11th straight win.
Cason has started 99 consecutive games at the hot corner, and 148 of 151 contests over her career. She was a perfect 3-for-3 in the opening 8-0 win past Carson-Newman, with three singles and an RBI, while going 1-for-2 with an RBI and a walk in the Trojans 13-2 win over the Eagles. Cason added two doubles and a pair of singles, while scoring once and driving in a run in Anderson's Senior Day sweep of Queens to stretch her hitting streak to six games.
Howser also notched the honor for the first time after going 3-0 with two complete-game wins and a six-inning win in relief on the week to help AU, the hottest team in the league, win its 14th game in its last 16 outings. The right-hander tossed 17.0 innings and scattered six hits without allowing a run. She won her sixth consecutive decision with an 8-0 win past Queens in Saturday's opener and recorded 10 strikeouts while issuing just two walks on the week and held opponents to a .103 batting average and has allowed just 13 hits over her last five appearances in the circle.
Howser leads the team and ranks sixth in the conference with her 1.70 ERA on the season, while her 14 victories also rank sixth in the SAC. She has recorded 93 strikeouts, which is sixth and has issued just 49 walks, which ranks third, in 119 1/3 innings of work.
The Woodstock, Ga. native began the week with an 8-0 shutout win over Carson-Newman, allowing just two hits and facing the minimum number of hitters. She struck out two and did not walk a batter, while earning the win in the nightcap with six full innings of two-hit relief in the Trojans' 13-2 rout of the Eagles. She struck out five and walked one without surrendering a run. Howser limited the Royals to two hits on Saturday, as the right-hander tossed her seventh complete game of the campaign. She struck out three and walked just one.
Anderson plays host to Brevard on Wednesday, with first-pitch scheduled for 3 p.m. at Smethers Field.

The U.S. presidential election process formally begins January 3rd in the Midwest state of Iowa when Republicans will cast the first votes to choose a party nominee to run against President Barack Obama in November of 2012. The domestic economy and jobs have dominated the Republican candidate debates, but foreign policy issues occasionally come up, including the subject of U.S. foreign aid.At the most recent Republican debate in Las Vegas, several of the candidates made it clear they would cut foreign aid if elected president.Texas Governor Rick Perry said, "I think it is time for this country to have a very real debate about foreign aid."Another contender, Texas Congressman Ron Paul, argued the United States has no business sending aid abroad.
"It is not authorized in the Constitution that we can take money from you and give it to particular countries around the world. To me, foreign aid is taking money from poor people in this country and giving it to rich people in poor countries," said Paul.
Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, who remains the top choice for many Republicans, said tough economic times at home would mean aid cutbacks overseas."I happen to think it does not make a lot of sense for us to borrow money from the Chinese to go give to another country for humanitarian aid. We ought to let the Chinese take care of those people," Romney said.
The Republican comments on cutting foreign aid prompted criticism from evangelical Christian leaders, including Richard Cizik."All of these kinds of programs actually are in our national interest and from an evangelical Christian point of view they are also important because they reflect our biblical values, caring about other people," Cizik said.Cizik and others note the importance of U.S. aid programs such as flood relief in Pakistan, earthquake disaster assistance in Haiti and fighting poverty and disease in Honduras.Foreign policy experts say there is domestic support for U.S. aid efforts abroad. Heather Hurlburt is with the National Security Network."When you do public-opinion polling of American citizens they are extraordinarily committed to the idea that we live in a global society and that we are intimately connected to people around the world and it is our responsibility as citizens to step in and support people elsewhere," Hurlburt said.Hurlburt adds that most Americans do not realize that foreign aid accounts for such a small percentage of the federal budget."U.S. foreign aid is less than one-percent of U.S. annual spending," said Hurburt. Americans, when they are polled, tend to say that they think it is about 20 percent and they think it should be, by the way, between five and ten percent, which would be of course a five-fold increase in how we actually support the rest of the world."The issue is likely to come up again during a November 15th Republican debate that will deal only with foreign policy issues.

Upon first glance it might be easy to overlook the tiny brick building sitting near the corner of Shelby and East Washington Street, just one block behind The Voice-Tribune's NuLu/Butchertown offices. Built in the 1850s, the miniature shotgun duplex is one of the rare Louisville houses from the time period still standing today – but age alone does not account for the approximately 4,000 visitors it draws annually.
Rather, the inconspicuous structure known as Thomas Edison House boasts an honor that few other buildings in the country can claim, having once housed the great American inventor after whom it is named. While working as a telegraph operator for Western Union in Louisville during 1866 and 1867, Thomas Alva Edison rented a room in the building, a local boarding house, as the 19-year-old was already beginning to conduct experiments and explore new ideas. And although Edison's stay in Louisville lasted less than two years thanks to an untimely workplace acid spill – an experiment gone awry – his legacy lives on in Louisville thanks to the volunteers and donors working each day to keep the historic museum open and involved in the community.
"It's just a piece of history, and you cant create history," commented Butch Shaw, board chair for Historic Homes Foundation, the nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the museum alongside other significant historic estates. "And for someone like Edison, who did so many things and invented so many different types of things, it's pretty cool. And kids love it – it's just amazing that they would get so ecstatic about some things that maybe older folks would not think are as big a deal."
Highlights of the museum tour include a re-creation of Edison's former bedroom, a space which offers a glimpse into the inventor's spare lifestyle as he devoted the bulk of his time end energy to studying at his desk and experiments wherever they could be conducted. Other rooms in the house showcase a display of Edison's experiments and inventions, at various stages and with accompanying timelines. Dedicated volunteer docents take turns leading the tours, which run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, as well as by appointment.
Ranging from retired teachers to history enthusiasts, the docents are the driving force in keeping the local landmark alive, Shaw explained. Working out volunteer schedules amongst themselves after the museum lost its executive director, the four tour guides conspired to make sure open hours remained the same as they had in the past. Each day the docents
not only teach visitors about the inventor's work, but also tailor each lesson to their specific audience, making connections so that the historical significance of the place is not lost in translation.
"I was here one day when one of the docents was giving a tour to a school group, and they were going over the telegraph," Shaw shared. "And she could tell that they were maybe not understanding (the concept). And she goes, 'It's kind of like texting.' And so all of a sudden, it's like, boom! That makes sense – they were just basically texting a wire Morse code across the world, and so it kind of made sense how that could happen."
While tour groups generate much of the funds necessary to keep the local landmark open and running, the nonprofit museum is also supported by the generous donations of community members invested in keeping history alive. Local fundraising events, such as the upcoming "Edstravaganza" on Nov. 10, generate up to 30 percent of the museum's operating and programming expenses. Supporting Thomas Edison House not only helps ensure the preservation of this historical landmark for future generations, it also pays for educational programs such as the "Invention Convention," a competition in which local students present their own innovative ideas and creations.
For Shaw, the lesson that anyone, in any place, can do great things is at the core of Edison House's educational mission. "Thomas Edison, one of the great inventors of all time, was actually here and in Louisville in this little bitty house," he smiled. "You can start out with something little like this, and turn it into something great."
Edstravaganza 2012
Thomas Edison House is pleased to announce that tickets are now on sale for Edstravaganza, the most important fundraising event for the museum.

Dakota Stones Green Goldstone 30x40mm Oval Bead Strand
Bold, glittering elements can be a part of your designs with the green goldstone 30x40mm oval beads from Dakota Stones. Available in 8-inch strands, these wide oval beads feature an intense dark green color that is almost black, peppered with flecks of lighter green sparkle. These beads are large enough to use as focal points and would look great as a backdrop for
gold beads
. Goldstone is actually glass with flecks of copper suspended inside to give it its characteristic glitter. The glass is made in a reducing furnace with copper salts added. Goldstone has been around since the European Renaissance. Stories say that it was discovered by Venetian monks when molten copper accidentally tipped into a molten glass container. Also known as sandstone, goldstone is said to be a good deflector of unwanted energies and is therefore a protection stone. These beads are made in Italy and China. Dakota Stones offers high-quality gemstones that are all useable in jewelry designs because every bead is checked to make sure they are cut and drilled correctly, that the finish is right and that the beads look distinct to their stone type.

Many times I listen to recorded Shiurim (lectures) where the speaker says a Brocho (usually Shehakol on a drink). Should one answer Amen to such Brochos?

No - even in Shul you only answer Amein if it is done immediately or else it is an Amein Yesoma. Therefore you should not answer Amein if you are listening to a pre recorded Shiur. However if you are listening to a live Shiur then I do not know whether you should answer or not.
No, but if it is live yes (Yalkut Yosef, Helek 3, 215:4). However, over the internet it would be Asur (Q&A 91813 to R' Musafi). The reason is because the internet is a little off.
Forgot to mention: Even if you both are Mechawen you can't be Yose.
Although if the shiur was live, it could be allowed (you don't need to hear the bracha to answer amein, like in the famous shul in Alexandria where they used to wave flags to tell people to answer Amein)
The Rivevos Ephraim 8:102:2 writes that watching the syium hashas (live)on tv and hears kaddish ,one can answer amen yehei shmei rabbah... Since it is not the shem Hashem,he also talks about hearing thunder over the phone and holds one may say bracha without Shem UMalchus.

Is it possible to use Facebooks graph API to tag people in an album? Note: I don't want to tag individual photos, but an album on the whole.
I have experimented with the facebook Graph API explorer and have found that the POST request to tag a facebook user in a photo does not work when you substitute the photo's id with an albums. It returned
"error": {
"message": "Unsupported post request.",
"type": "GraphMethodException",

Please Note: My question is not a duplicate of this question as my questions are about tagging albums NOT photos.

If Yonah understood that he was being commanded by God, then how could he have possibly thought that he could run away? Did he believe that God was tied to a particular land, the way pagan gods were thought to be tied to theirs, and that if he just got out of Israel he would be ok? But Nineveh is not in Israel either. At the time he ran, did Yonah perhaps not yet understand Who was commanding him?

Yonah was a navi who was living in the kingdom of Israel before its exile by Sancheriv. God told him to go to Ninveh, which was in Ashur.
In general, God is not concerned enough with the affairs of non jewish nations to send them messages through a navi to repent, which is why they don't have their own prophets to begin with. Yonah concluded that their repentance must be relevant to Israel in some way, particularly to exile them from their land. (Yonah knew that the Jews weren't on the highest spiritual level at that point.)
Therefore, Yonah refused to go, not wanting to play any part in Israel's destruction. He hoped that God would choose another navi in his place, as clearly, if God wanted this done, it must be necessary. But not him. To try and ensure this, Yonah tried to flee to outside of Eretz Yisrael, as he believed that nevua does not exist outside of the land (which is true, with few exceptions). Thus, he thought, God would be forced to send someone else.
See Abarbanel (Yonah 1).
I heard an innovative explanation from Rav Meir Spiegelman. Yonah doesn't run away to get to a different place; Yonah sets sail in order to be at sea, and there is no prophecy at sea.
This is related to the idea that the sea is too different from the earth to be involved in earth-based things (e.g. fish are created from the water, but animals from the earth; fish were not punished during the flood; fish are never brought as sacrifices).
Specifically regarding Yonah, this issue is explained by the Malbim:
(Therefore he went to the ship, since he thought that when he would be in the ship the Divine Presence would not rest on him, either because those who set sail have unfocused thoughts from the difficulty of the sea until they come to dry land, as our sages have said, or because then he could not be alone, as there were idol worshipers on the ship; that all this would prevent the Divine presence from resting on him.)
The answer that Menachem gave is brought up by Rashi on the pasuk. The question still remains, what did he thought he would achieve by running away? This reminds me of the situation in which Moshe Rabenu told Hashem, Shemot 32:32, that if you don't pardon Am Yisrael "omit me" from your book. Out of love to Am Yisrael he didn't want to be part of the punishment. Same here: Yonah, out of love to Am Yisrael, doesn't want to be part of disgracing Am Yisrael, so he uses his Bechira chofshit (free will?) and prefers to die and not be part of the plot.
The Shechinah doesn't rest outside of Israel, so Yonah hoped to not get nevuah (Rashi and Radak).
Similar to the Abarbanel brought by @jake, Rashi says that Yonah figured that if the people of Ninveh would listen to G-d's word and repent, it would make the Jewish people look that much worse for not repenting. He therefore tried to get out of delivering the message to them.

Leaders Preserving Our Future: Pace and Priorities on Climate Change
On 3 November 2010, the World Preservation Foundation held a conference in Central Hall, Westminster, in partnership with Dods, the first name in political information and communications, to address the urgent need to find near term solutions to climate change.
Short-lived non CO2 climate forcers
Scientific evidence shows that the strong bias of current mitigation efforts toward carbon dioxide emissions reduction will not produce results sufficient to halt global warming in time to stop irreversible tipping points being passed.
In the run up to the COP16 UN climate change conference taking place just 4 weeks later in Mexico, this conference sought to bring to the forefront the crucial role of reducing shorter lived non CO2 climate forcers – methane, black carbon and tropospheric ozone – as an urgently needed solution at this point in time to help halt further rises in temperatures and climate change.
Delegates included Members of Parliament, NGOs, members of media, local government, celebrities and a cross section of civil society from different sectors.
World Preservation Foundation is underlining the immediate need for governments, industry, NGOs and the public to take action now to prevent any further damage to our ecosystems and our planetary life support system.

This event was carbon offset by growing edible playgrounds in London inner city schools in partnership with Trees for Cities.

The 6 Most Cynical Exploitations of Romantic Love in History
#3. A Wife Gets Her Husband to Pay a Fake Ransom ... Over and Over
But let's not imagine that grossly cynical exploitations of love come only from governments and giant corporations. We're just as quick to run this sort of scam on each other.
Who among you has never exchanged a blow job for a romantic comedy?
For instance, how's your relationship with your exes? Strained? Awesome? Thank your stars that you never married Josefa Vargas.
In 2001, the daughter of Josefa Sanchez Vargas was kidnapped by "strangers." Notice the quotes around that last word, and picture us making them in the air above our heads with our fingers. These strangers demanded 30,000 euros, a ransom Josefa's estranged husband Pedro paid gladly. The next year, he paid 48,000 euros just as gladly when his daughter was again abducted, because whaddya gonna do?
Not every father can throat-punch like Liam Neeson.
Still in love but no more the wiser, Pedro headed back home and trusted that his wife wouldn't up and get their daughter abducted a third time, because what the hell would be the odds of that? She didn't.
His son, Emilio, was next.
This 36,000-euro ransom was demanded by a clothing wholesaler Josefa owed money to, because apparently in Spain people are allowed to take 36,000 euros worth of attire from middlemen without paying first. Pedro coughed up the money, but it wasn't enough for Emilio to not get kidnapped a second time in 2004, after he allegedly lost a package of cocaine worth 54,000 euros. Rather than freak the hell out over yet another family kidnapping, or the fact that his son was transporting cocaine, Pedro paid the ransom and let sleeping dogs lie.
"Psht. Fifty grand's worth? That's barely 'walking around' cocaine."
It took two more rapid-fire kidnappings for poor Pedro to wise up to the fact that normal families do not see this many kidnappings in one lifetime. After Josefa blamed an abduction of one of her children on a gypsy family, Pedro finally hired a private investigator, who confirmed what common sense would have told literally anyone but Pedro: His beloved wife was behind all of these "kidnappings" and ransom requests.
Josefa's last ransom came in September 2006. This time she persauded her son to call his dad and pretend to be under torture and threat of death, which he did. Dad paid, and minutes later Emilio was found, safe and untortured, having drinks with friends. Josefa was arrested and sentenced to 3 1/2 years for fraud, and Pedro renounced his right to reclaim back money -- because he "still had feelings" for his wife.
Now we don't feel so bad that our wives keep leaving as soon as they get naturalized.
#2. A Woman's Reputation Ruined Because She Stood by Her Spy Boyfriend
James Bond movies are about cool gadgets, sexy accents, explosions and large-breasted women with ridiculous names. There's a new girl in every film, and most of them end the movie "debriefing" 007. And then ... they're gone. In the real world, the aftermath of a love affair would be pretty gut-wrenching, as evidenced by real-life Bond girl Dagmar Lahlum.
Her name translates to "Labianne Fantastic" in Bond-English.
During World War II, Dagmar Lahlum was a member of the Norwegian resistance movement, meaning she was an anti-Nazi in a Nazi-occupied country. Which was why it was weird when she hooked up with a guy she believed was an actual German Nazi, or at least a sympathizer. But he wasn't a Nazi at all -- he was British double agent Eddie Chapman, nicknamed Agent ZigZag.
Since the two lovers were on the same ideological side, you'd think they'd live happily ever after, right? Not exactly. Dagmar's friends and countrymen thought her new boyfriend was a Nazi, which didn't go over too well with the whole "Nazi resistance collective." And she couldn't correct them because, you know, he was undercover. So Dagmar was universally branded a German whore and a traitor by her neighbors, and Chapman made her swear never to spill his true identity. She didn't, because she loved him too much.
And who wouldn't love a face like ... like ... Jesus, is that a mustache, or did he spend a few hours every morning sucking on an exhaust pipe?
And then he left her.
She was tried for treason in 1947 while ZigZag was too busy making love to a string of beautiful women to come back to clear her name. Poor Dagmar lived the rest of her days as a disgraced outcast, a fate we wouldn't wish on more than, like, three Bond girls.
#1. A Woman Lives a Fake Marriage to Let Rock Hudson Pretend to be Straight
For millions of young girls raised on pop culture's abiding teat, it doesn't get much better than marrying a movie star. Who wouldn't want to be plucked from a dead-end job by someone with outlandish good looks and millions of dollars? That's pretty much the American dream, as described by Disney Channel Original Movies.
Minnesota farm girl Phyllis Gates certainly thought she had hit the dreamboat jackpot when she landed in Hollywood, got herself a secretarial job for agent Henry Willson and found herself hobnobbing with one of his clients, hunky Rock Hudson.
Those yellow letters followed him around everywhere.
In 1954, Hudson was the sexiest chunk of beefcake on the planet. He was the symbol of male sexuality for a generation of people who had literally fought Nazis. He was also a bachelor, which was pretty much enough to make any girl within earshot fall madly in love.
He had literally every quality a man should have.
Encouraged by her boss/his agent, Hudson and Gates actually began to date. After a whirlwind, storybook romance, they married on Nov. 9, 1955. They had two children and lived happily ever after until they divorced three years later. Turns out Hudson was gayer than an Elton John/Freddie Mercury mashup, and the whole marriage had been concocted by Willson to satisfy demands from MGM that Rock end his suspiciously long bachelorhood.
And Hudson had good reason to fake-marry. This same studio had ruined the career of William Haines a few years earlier after his refusal to submit to a sham marriage (or "lavender marriage") to conceal his raging case of Gay. And that fella's name was placed in an actual Doom Book that blocked him out of work anywhere in the industry.
So Rock gained straight-man street cred and got a divorce under his belt, while Phyllis got two kids and (our office guess) less than seven orgasms. She never married again, and when she died, people speculated that she'd actually been a secret lesbian all along. That's how Hollywood works, kids. Come and get some.

Noteworthy gains for Brass City
In our Nov. 6, 2011 endorsement of Democrat Neil M. O'Leary for mayor of Waterbury, we cited the "doer" reputation he acquired during his 30-year career in law enforcement. We said his talents, drive and work ethic would help the Brass City recruit new businesses, spark industrial development, and fight blight and litter.
Progress on these fronts had stagnated during the final years of Mayor Michael J. Jarjura's tenure. Mayor Jarjura had been in office since early 2002, and his quixotic 2010 bids for statewide office suggested he had lost interest in the mayoralty.

6 Horrifying Implications of the Harry Potter Universe
We have a feeling that Harry Potter is never going away, in the sense that franchises like Batman and Star Wars never went away (and Star Wars never got its own amusement park). And why not? It's the perfect storm of wonder, charm and innocent, family-friendly adventure that everyone can enjoy.
Which is why we love talking about how pants-crappingly terrifying that whole universe is. For instance ...
#6. The People in Paintings Are Alive
In the Harry Potter universe, the people in photographs and paintings can move and talk. But it's not like they're just video clips of the person -- hell, we could do that. You actually see characters interacting with the "people" in the pictures, particularly in the portraits that hang all over Hogwarts School -- several major plot points revolve around it. The people in the paintings are able to talk, think and even travel to other paintings. They relay information that no one else has.
"I am innocent but love screaming like a madman."
And as such, some portrait subjects serve as security guards for locked rooms, while others are used as errand boys to deliver urgent messages (they can travel to any room that also has a painting). And, even weirder, these aren't entirely fictional creations dreamed up by some artist, like if somebody made a Mickey Mouse with computerized AI or something -- these are paintings of real people, long-dead former headmasters and such. They possess all of the personality and (presumably) memories of their living selves.
Dumbledore is asleep all the time? Convenient, Rowling. Very convenient.
The Horrific Implications:
Apparently, in the wizard world, if you paint a picture of a dead person, presumably with some magic paint or the right enchantment, their memories and the essence of their personality will be on canvas. Forever. For example, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, former Slytherin headmaster Phineas Nigellus Black is forced to take orders from his philosophical enemy and student Hermione Granger -- and he is pissed off about it.
Who cares, right? Well, what's stopping that situation from being reversed -- if, after Hermione dies, she gets painted into a portrait and is forced to help some future generation of evil wizard Nazis?
Especially if getting attacked and slashed up is just considered property damage.
That brings us to our second point. Not every magical portrait is going to be of a Dumbledore or a comic-relief character like the Fat Lady at the entrance to Gryffindor Tower. What if some idiot paints a picture of Voldemort? Will it carry all of his evil genius and scheming? Is He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and also Has-an-Abortion-for-a-Soul going to be able to help plan the next Event-That-Would-Be-Awful? Somebody in Potterland didn't think this through. The guy has already proven he can carry out most of his plans without the benefit of a body -- Voldemort didn't even have one for the first half of the series.
It's not all that hard to create a magical portrait, after all. In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Draco shits out a quick sketch of Harry getting hit in the head with a ball and then getting struck by lightning.
One of the crappier animated gifs available.
Maybe this sketch was infused with just enough magic to make it crudely animate, but we already know that more is possible. So what's to stop some Harry Potter enemy from making a painting version of that, just so he has a sentient Potter copy to torture? It'd be a two-dimensional Harry Potter who can think and feel, but who is painted into a situation where he's having angry dicks slapped on his face ... forever.
#5. Technology Is Frozen Forever
The first difference you notice between the wizard world and ours, other than the presence of wizards, is that their society seems to exist in a time warp.
When Harry discovers he's a wizard, he is whisked away from his big, mean "muggle" family and their modern suburban home into a world replete with bygone wonders from a quaint and magical yesteryear. Gone is the cold and impersonal culture of electronic gizmos and instant-gratification telecommunication; now he will be receiving his mail by "owl post" and writing his papers with quill and parchment. His school is a medieval castle.
"First years go by boat because the cinematic unveiling is more impressive this way."
That's part of the fun, of course. There's enough charm and quaintness to give quaint-and-charming poisoning to some of this world's larger elephants.
The Horrific Implications:
The world isn't kind to people who don't keep up with the times. Film and camera maker Kodak just went bankrupt because they couldn't adapt to a world of digital cameras. The American South crumpled after the Civil War because it wasn't prepared for a slave-free economy. Swarms of charging soldiers were mowed down in World War I because they weren't ready for the machine gun. And we'll stop there, as the examples only get uglier (no reason to start using the word "genocide" in a Harry Potter article, really).
Especially since it's such a gentle children's story.
Now think of the disadvantages wizards have thanks to their adorably backward ways. Like the thing with owls carrying their mail -- it's an obviously slow, impractical and not-secure method of correspondence. What's stopping them from adopting the telephone? You know, in the way that at some point they adopted the use of eyeglasses to correct their vision.
"Arrgh! Laser surgery is such bullshit!"
Non-wizards have had phones for 136 years! Fax machines have existed for more than a century. Yet wizards don't just reject the use of technology -- they're literally unaware that it exists. Arthur Weasley, a wizard who devotes his career to the study of non-wizard technology, is still trying to get his head around "the purpose of the rubber duck."
"A hands-free chess set? Seriously? I have Contra at home."
All of this would be fine if these were just quirky differences, the wizards embracing the old ways at the cost of some inconvenience and the inability to enjoy videos of cats wrestling their shadows. But it's not. What if the next He-Who-Is-Evil-and-Shit gets hold of some muggle weapons of mass destruction? The best wizards couldn't hold his badness back when it was just a magic-on-magic duel -- think about how awful things could have gotten if Voldemort ever found out that muggles are capable of wiping out half a city with non-magic so awful it will deform your descendents for generations to come.
While wizards just have disfiguring furry fantasies.
And no, they won't just use magic to stop it, because they won't know what they're looking at. Wizards are shown not knowing what a cappuccino is; they're not going to understand what they need to do against a suitcase nuke. And don't say that non-magical weapons wouldn't work on wizards -- they have normal, human bodies that sustain injuries just like anybody else's. You could bash a wizard's head in with a rock if she didn't get her rock-stopping spell cast in time. What works with rocks would work better with bullets, or bombs.
"Wait, so you mean a few pounds of this 'napalm' stuff would clear up my Hogwarts problem forever?"
And we're guessing no one, not even Dumbledore, has invented a don't-nuclear-bomb-us spell, much less a keep-cancer-off-our-babies spell. The entire wizard world is a sitting duck, and they can't even warn the higher-ups of the danger without a damned owl.
#4. A Magical Education Is Hardly an Education
Students at Hogwarts are offered a huge variety of classes. We've seen them taking Charms, Transfiguration, Potions ... for some reason Divination and Astrology are two different classes ... there's even some mention of "Arithmancy," which, as a cursory Google search reveals, is some kind of numbers-based divination.
"Yeah, screw summoning my spirit animal. I'd rather do math."
Of every class mentioned in Harry Potter, the only ones of strictly academic value appear to be History of Magic and an optional class called Muggle Studies. At no point do we get the sense that wizardly high school graduates can perform long division, find Vietnam on a map or discuss themes of coming of age in The Catcher in the Rye. What are they learning? They're learning how to turn rats into teacups.
"One day you'll be trapped in a rat-infested shack with company on the way and you'll be grateful for this lesson."
At the end of the day, Hogwarts is a magic school, and the kids who go there are learning magic ... and that's about it.
The Horrific Implications:
Don't get us wrong, magic eliminates the need for a lot of classes -- if Hogwarts students have the ability to instantly teleport, they don't need to learn to drive a car any more than our students need to know how to ride horses. But what about math, or grammar, or freaking sex education? Or any form of biology? This is a world where nobody seems to learn the scientific method -- every problem is either solved by a spell or not solved at all, because problem solving is not a skill that is valued enough to be taught.
"I swear if you make that wand joke again I'll Leviosa your penis off."
We do know they have hospitals -- but only for the magically infirm, which makes us think that Harry Potter's world is one where no one understands the human body or how it functions, because they've never had to learn. No one knows the mathematics behind building houses, because math isn't a thing.
Appropriate Conflict Resolution 101.
You could argue that the wizard world gets along just fine without this knowledge base, since they seem to live comfortably and magic clearly picks up the slack for whatever they don't know. But that's actually shown to not be true, because as we've seen ...

Matcha Soft CaramelsThe most surprising thing about a soft caramel is how smooth and velvety it is the moment it hits your tongue. Our Matcha Soft Caramels are a further enhanced version by incorporating the aroma and flavor of Matcha a
For the Soft Caramels:
Granulated Sugar.......................... 2/3 cup
Condensed Milk............................. 3 tbsp
Milk................................................ 1/2 cup
Salt................................................. a pinch
Cream............................................ 1 cup
Butter............................................. 1 1/2 tbsp
Aiya Cooking Grade Matcha....... 2 tbsp
Milk................................................. 2 tbsp
To Coat the Finished Caramels:
Aiya Cooking Grade Matcha....... 1 1/2 tbsp
Powdered Sugar............................ 2 tsp
Tip: Gently simmer all the ingredients together so as to not burn the sugar.
Tip: Add the Matcha and the milk to the caramel sauce only after everything else has come together completely.
- Combine the sugar, condensed milk, 1/2 cup of milk, and pinch of salt together in a pot over med-low heat. (The lower the temperature the better so you can avoid burning the sugar.)
- Once it is all well melted together, add the cream and butter. Continue to simmer for about 20 minutes. (Again, make sure nothing burns.)
- Dissolve the Matcha in some milk and mix it until it is smooth with no lumps. Set aside. (It is easiest to avoid lumps by sifting the Matcha into the milk rather than adding it directly from the measuring spoon.)
- Transfer the simmered mixture to a bowl over chilled water to cool. Once it is cool enough to handle, add in the milk and Matcha, stirring until they are well incorporated.
- Pour the whole mixture out on to some parchment paper at once and place it in the refrigerator to cool and take shape. (Be careful not to leave it in the refrigerator too long as the sugar will crystalize, changing the texture of the caramel for the worse.)
- After it has solidified somewhat, remove it from the refrigerator and slice into square pieces.
- Mix the Matcha and powdered sugar together and then use to coat the caramels.

Over one hundred years' experience of tyre technology has enabled Pirelli to combine in their products maximum levels of security, longevity, comfort and attention to the environment.
Each Pirelli tyre provides not only performance but also a "feel for the road" and a communication with the driver, allowing a better understanding of the vehicle's performance.
We recommend this section if you want to become familiar with the world of car tyres.
In addition to the Tyre Size Designation a tyre may be identified by a Service Description consisting of a Load Index (or two in the case of single/dual fitment) and a Speed Symbol.
The Speed Symbol indicates the maximum speed at which the tyre can carry a load corresponding to its Load Index (except for loads at speed above 210 Km/h) under service conditions specified by the tyre manufacturer.
The Load Index is a numerical code associated with the maximum load a tyre can carry (except for loads at speeds above 210 Km/h) at a speed indicated its Speed Symbol under service conditions specified by the tyre manufacturer.
Observe the rules of the highway code, always be careful and show respect for other drivers. Here is some good advice for driving safely, saving mechanics' fees, tyres and fuel. For fans of sports driving only one thought is needed: the road is not the racetrack. That said, here is some useful advice from the point of view of road safety.
One of the greatest risks of driving in the wet is aquaplaning: how can you counter this phenomenon?
Aquaplaning leads to "floating" of the tyre and immediate loss of grip.
It is a dangerous situation which is typically created by tackling very wet stretches of road or large puddles of water, created by bad road surface drainage, at speed.
At these times, the grooves of the tread don't manage to expel the water under the tyre and, in practice, you can suddenly find the car "floating".
With careful driving and tyres which are not worn and are correctly inflated this danger can, on most occasions, be avoided, since treads are designed to drain the greatest possible quantity of water to ensure the best possible adherence.
Now that we've clarified the concept of aquaplaning here is some advice on how to cope with this situation.
Braking is no use because the car is floating and moreover there is also the risk, as soon as the tyres grip again, that the car may swerve suddenly making you lose control completely.
The best thing to do is keep a firm grip on the steering wheel to prepare for "regripping" trying to keep the correct steering direction for the entire duration of the phenomenon and take your foot gradually off the accelerator pedal given that the engine revs increase rapidly as soon as the car starts floating.
The first thing: without chains or winter tyres you won't manage to go anywhere. The car will have no traction and on braking will be uncontrollable.
Observe the rules of the road scrupulously and be tolerant of drivers in difficulty who are going slower than you.
Increase the distance between your car and the one in front.
To reduce the risk of sliding while going uphill you can use a higher gear than you would use normally in the dry.
When driving avoid sharp acceleration, sudden steering action or braking, to minimise loss of traction on snow or ice.
For optimum performance and safety, it is essential for all four tyres to be the same. Always use four winter tyres of the same brand, and with the same construction features. Fit tyres of the same size on the same axle, with the same characteristics of use, tread pattern and conditions of wear.
The use of studded tyres, where permitted, must be extended to all four wheels. Consult the vehicle handbook for the correct load capacity and speed rating of the tyres to be used.
Inflation pressures must be checked regularly and carried out when the tyres are cold. If necessary correct the pressure, again when the tyre is cold. Keep to the pressures indicated by the vehicle manufacturer. Note, pressures change in relation to the external temperature: a pressure of 2.0 bar measured at +20°C decreases to 1.74 bar at -5°C and falls to 1.59 bar when the temperature is at -20°C (a change of 20%).
Pay attention to the speed limit indicated by the rating on the tyre sidewall. Optionally, the car may be equipped with tyres of a lower rating than that prescribed, adjusting the speed. In this case, the European regulations state that the reduction in speed must be indicated on an adhesive label placed inside the car (on the windscreen or dashboard so that it's always visible to the driver).
The performance of winter tyres remains effective down to a tread depth of 4mm. Below this level they are no longer adequate for winter use but can be used as summer tyres down to the main tread minimum legal limit, set at 1.6mm.
When winter tyres are not being used, they should preferably be kept on wheel rims and inflated, and the pressures checked regularly. If stored without rims, they must be stacked on their sides no more than four per stack so that they are not deformed by the weight.
Rotate winter tyres in the right direction every 10,000/12,000 km.
"Green Performance" technology means fuel consumption could be reduced and environmental impact limited. But a lot depends on your driving habits. Here is some practical advice on how to make the most of the money saving opportunities presented by Pirelli "Green Performance" products.
Everyone knows that… you don't brake on bends. And yet – pay attention observing the drivers in front of you – practically everyone comes into bends braking, before "letting go" of the pedal when they reach the centre of the bend. And everyone feels that they are perfect drivers since "you don't brake on bends".
It's a shame that all the stage of establishing the trajectory has occurred with the brakes on.
Driving this way subjects the tyres – above all the front ones – to a double exertion: maintaining the trajectory set and – in addition – resisting the force of the braking system.
All in a play of forces that can also endanger the stability of the car (and therefore the roadholding).
For this reason it is fundamental to brake sooner, slow down in time and – above all – brake as much as possible with the wheels straight. Doing it this way takes advantage of the maximum adherence possible offered by the tyre before steering.
Safe and successful off-roading is a combination of knowledge and skill. Understanding specific techniques for different conditions and realising the capabilities and limitations of your vehicle are critical, but the final factor is the tyres on your vehicle.
Tyres can often make the difference between getting out of a tough situation or getting stuck. The following information is designed to ensure that you get the maximum performance from your Pirelli tyres. If in doubt, always survey your chosen route on foot. In mud or other difficult conditions move off slowly and avoid spinning the wheels. Undue wheel spinning will cause the vehicle to slip and will fill the tyre treads with mud.
When approaching soft muddy ground build up speed in low ratio 2nd or 3rd, trying not to spin the wheels by extreme acceleration. Go too fast and you risk bouncing and losing control, too slow and you will loose momentum.
In severe mud the most difficult situations are where the ground has rutted channels and axle deep pits.
Try to straddle the ruts if they are too deep to drive in – this will avoid dragging the diffs through the mud, which will reduce momentum and probably leave your vehicle stuck. Always try to maintain a steady momentum.
When driving in ruts, vary the accelerator and move the steering wheel from side to side- this allows the lugs on the shoulders of the tyres to grip and bite into the sides of the ruts.
Never try to steer out of the ruts, let the steering wheel find its own way.
Whenever possible, check you wheel arches to make sure that they are not clogged with mud, this clogging will stop the tyres from cleaning the mud from their treads.
For most types of off-road driving it is possible to maintain your normal road pressures. However, in severe conditions It is permissible to lower pressures to increase the tyre footprint and flotation ability.
NB: Never use the tyre pressures below 16psi. Re-inflate the tyres as soon as possible. On route to the service point,drive slowly, and under no circumstances exceed 50mph.
In light snow conditions the tyres will break through the crust and grip on the surface below.
Use high range ratio and avoid revving the engine, go into low range and use a very light throttle, this will encourage the tyres to bite and grip rather than slip.
In very severe conditions it may be necessary to fit chains.
For most types of off-road driving it is possible to maintain your normal road pressures. However, in severe conditions It is permissible to lower pressures to increase the tyre footprint and flotation ability.
NB: Never use the tyre pressures below 16psi. Re-inflate the tyres as soon as possible. On route to the service point,drive slowly, and under no circumstances exceed 50mph.
The skill in tackling rock conditions is to keep to the high ground wherever possible in order to avoid damage to the diffs, transmission or skidplates.
Torque is more important than power in climbing rock slopes, thus first or second gear in low range is best.
Use light throttle to prevent tyre slipping.
For most types of off-road driving it is possible to maintain your normal road pressures. However, in severe conditions It is permissible to lower pressures to increase the tyre footprint and flotation ability.
NB: Never use the tyre pressures below 16psi. Re-inflate the tyres as soon as possible. On route to the service point,drive slowly, and under no circumstances exceed 50mph.
For loose sand select high range four wheel drive – this will maintain speed, if, however the vehicle bogs down, move into low range.
Soft, loose sand is traction sapping and requires continual momentum, often using full throttle.
For most types of off-road driving it is possible to maintain your normal road pressures. However, in severe conditions It is permissible to lower pressures to increase the tyre footprint and flotation ability.
NB: Never use the tyre pressures below 16psi. Re-inflate the tyres as soon as possible. On route to the service point,drive slowly, and under no circumstances exceed 50mph.
When negotiating water it is important that your electrical system is protected. Silicon based grease on vulnerable items is a good idea. It is absolutely vital that your air intake will be clear of the water. Ingress into the engine is terminal and expensive. Before tackling a water crossing it is critical to survey the course.
• The river flow, fast flowing means clean silt-free water. Slow moving may mean soft deep silt.
• Check the depth of water and any silt with a spade or similar. Also check for holes or large rocks which may impede your progress.
• Look closely at the entry and exit banks, bear in mind on exit you will have little momentum.
• When entering the water select low 2nd gear.
Creating a bow wave means the water in front of the vehicle is deeper but a trough is created behind the wave, i.e. in the engine bay.
If you go too fast the bow wave will break over the bonnet losing the trough effect in the engine bay.
When clear of water always drive a short distance with the footbrake lightly depressed to restore braking efficiency.
Check your radiator is clear of mud and leaves, and of course check for damage to your tyres, as you will not have been able to see any potential damaging underwater obstacles.
For most types of off-road driving it is possible to maintain your normal road pressures. However, in severe conditions It is permissible to lower pressures to increase the tyre footprint and flotation ability.
NB: Never use the tyre pressures below 16psi. Re-inflate the tyres as soon as possible. On route to the service point,drive slowly, and under no circumstances exceed 50mph.
For your safety it is important to check your tyres regularly, at least once a month. Look for signs of damage or uneven wear because improper inflation pressures, misalignment, improper balance, or suspension malfunctions can affect the overall performance of your Pirelli tyre and endanger your safety. Always ask your nearest Pirelli tyre dealer for a check and assistance. Tyres are the only point of contact between your car and the road: so keep them in good shape.
The correct maintenance of your tyres is a priceless operation. Air is totally free and correct inflation pressure is the main secret for a longer 'lifetime' for your tyres.
Insufficient inflation pressure is the main cause of tyre damage.
Extended lifetime and, as a result, excellent performance for a longer period of time, means concrete economic benefits, due to savings in tyre replacement costs and lower fuel consumption.
Correct inflation pressure also improves vehicle manoeuvrability, reducing the 'braking distance'.
A monthly check up is sufficient to keep the tyres at the correct inflation pressure.
It is a quick, yet fundamental way to control the health of your tyres and is important for your driving safety.
Check the inflation pressure on 'cold' tyres. Here are the steps to follow:
Performance and driving safety are two key elements for Pirelli, that's why we would like to share with you some small actions that will help you drive in total peace of mind and safety.
Tyre rotation is a simple and effective way to prolong the useful life of tyres by achieving more uniform wear.
Run Flat tyres mean safety. They provide greater control of your car in emergency conditions and allow you to continue driving safely even during a rapid loss of inflation pressure.
With Run Flat, you will retain mobility in the event of a puncture. So, if your tyre is punctured, even in pouring rain, the Pirelli Self-Supporting Run Flat means you don't have to bother with the spare. Instead, you can continue driving for a limited period.
To ensure maximum safety during an emergency situation, the Run Flat tyre must maintain certain speed and distance parameters (80km/h for 80km or 50mph for 50 miles). Due to these restrictions, it's imperative that motorists be notified when a loss in tyre pressure occurs, and therefore the vehicle must be equipped with a TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) to detect and signal tyre pressure changes.
Run Flat tyres have been developed based on the specifications of the vehicles on which they are mounted. Accordingly, Run Flat tyres may only be mounted on vehicles specifically manufactured to accommodate Run Flat tyres.
Run Flat tyres must be mounted in conjunction with a functional Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). The mounting of tyres and installation of the TPMS should be carried out by a specialised dealer.
Pirelli certifies that after pressure loss, Run Flat tyres can continue to run for 80km (50 miles) at a maximum speed of 80km/h (50 mph). Always refer to the vehicle owner's manual for specific safety and operating information relating to the vehicle.
After the low pressure warning is shown, the condition of the remaining tyres and the TPMS should be checked immediately by a specialised dealer.
A tyre should always be changed and not repaired after a loss of pressure, as it is not always possible to establish the time and conditions under which the tyre has been used with insufficient inflation pressure.
Damaged Run Flat tyres, or Run Flat tyres that have experienced a loss of pressure should be replaced immediately with another Run Flat tyre of identical size and service description (Load Index and Speed Code). Pirelli recommends that a tyre of a different type, or which contains a different load index or speed code, should never be mounted on the same vehicle.
After a loss of pressure, the rims should be inspected to ensure they haven't been damaged. Damaged or deformed rims should always be replaced prior to mounting a new Run Flat tyre. Pirelli recommends the use of Extended Hump rims (EH2), which reduce the risk of bead unseating in case of loss of pressure.
Yes it is possible, although Pirelli strongly recommends that EH2 rims be used because they guarantee improved retention of the tyre bead down to zero inflation pressure. In the event of run flat operation at zero pressure with H2 rims, provided that a Pirelli self-supporting run flat tyre is used in conjunction with a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) or air pressure warning system, the tyre will maintain its run flat characteristics. A TPMS is absolutely necessary to alert the driver that the tyre has lost pressure.
Standard tyres can be fitted to EH2 rims but they will not have run flat features.
Pirelli does not recommend mixing run flat tyres and standard tyres on the same vehicle, even if paired in axle sets. If you have a puncture, the run flat tyres are designed to permit you to reach a tyre dealer where you can have the tyre checked and replaced if necessary with another run flat tyre. In exceptional and emergency circumstances a normal tyre with identical dimensions, load index and speed code can be fitted for a very limited period and distance. It must be noted that standard tyres do not have the same run flat characteristics as the other tyres on your vehicle and must be removed at the earliest opportunity.
Yes, but Pirelli recommends that in a run flat condition you should not exceed 80km (50 miles) at a maximum speed of 80km/h (50 mph). Pirelli strongly recommends that the different tyre brands should be fitted in axle sets and the tyre pressure monitoring system must be controlled to make sure that the pressure settings are compatible.
Run Flat tyres have been developed based on the specifications of the vehicles on which they are mounted. Accordingly, Run Flat tyres may only be mounted on vehicles specifically manufactured to accommodate Run Flat tyres, therefore you must contact the vehicle manufacturer if you are in doubt.
No, for safety reasons, Pirelli chooses not to recommend the repair of self-supporting run flat tyres. A self-supporting run flat tyre should always be changed and not repaired after a loss of pressure because it is not always possible to establish the time and conditions under which the tyre has been used with insufficient inflation pressure.
No. After a puncture you can only travel 80km (50 miles) at a maximum speed of 80km/h (50mph), following which the tyre must be replaced.
Provided the vehicle is operated within restricted run flat speed of 80km/h (50 mph), handling is only slightly impaired due to reduced cornering force. Aquaplaning and braking remain almost the same. It is recommended that you avoid sharp driving manoeuvres if a tyre is completely deflated, especially if the tyres are fitted to H2 standard rims.
No. The maximum condition guaranteed by Pirelli is 80km (50 miles) at zero pressure at a speed not exceeding 80km/h (50mph). For vehicles fitted with Pirelli self-supporting Run Flat tyres as original equipment, the tyre manufacturer's recommendations indicated in the owners manual apply.
There are a range of tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) available so you should consult the vehicle manufacturer if you require a specific explanation. Basically there are two types of system, indirect systems use the fact that reduced air pressure causes the wheel to rotate at a slower speed and when they detect this difference send a warning to the driver. Direct systems directly control tyre pressure against pre-set values and send a warning when actual pressure falls below set values.
which appears on the sidewall of the tyre. On tyres specifically homologated for BMW vehicles there are also the letters RSC which stand for Run Flat System Component.
Pirelli guarantee a general maximum distance of 80km for all self-supporting run flat tyres. Vehicle manufacturers conduct their own tests based on specific vehicle models, taking into consideration vehicle weight and characteristics and can decide together with the tyre manufacturer can suggest an increased distance for that specific vehicle. For vehicles fitted with Pirelli self-supporting Run Flat tyres as original equipment, the tyre manufacturer's recommendations indicated in the owners manual apply.
Pirelli introduces on the market its new "Seal Inside Technology", the new concept of extended mobility to safely drive your cars in the event of a puncture.
Seal Inside (S.I.) is a new tyre construction technology that allows you to drive on without losing air pressure even after the tyre has been punctured by an external object, covering almost 85% of the possible accidental causes of pressure loss*.
The Seal Inside logo will be used to identify all Pirelli products featuring this new technology.
The logo (in black) is also on the tyre sidewall.
* The Seal Inside is effective for the majority of the punctures apart from the ones that are compromising the integrity of the tyre
Inside the tyre, in the area corresponding to the tread pattern, a sealing layer material tightly blocks every possible air leakage in case of a puncture that passes through the carcass with or without an external object still present.
The Seal Inside deals immediately with the hole and its fast and effective action, in most cases, does not make the driver realize that the tyre has been punctured.
In the event of a puncture, the sealant allows the driver to continue driving – not having to stop the vehicle for an immediate replacement of the tyre – until it can be replaced.
The sealant does not guarantee permanent repair of the tyre caused by a puncture. For this reason Pirelli recommends that drivers regularly monitor the tyres in order to identify punctures that are sealed, or the presence of nails or screws on the tread pattern. In such a situation, it is necessary to go to a specialized tyre dealer who can identify the puncture area and remove the object that caused it.
The tyre dealer has to subsequently evaluate the extent of the damage and decide if the tyre can be repaired or not.
Seal Inside tyres can significantly reduce the chance of having a flat tyre but, unlike run flat tyres, are not designed to be driven under inflated or in a flat condition.
In terms of mounting, removing and balancing there are no differences between Seal Inside and standard tyres. Pirelli tyres with Seal Inside technology do not need dedicated rims and for this reason can be mounted on the same standard rims used for standard tyres.
Seal Inside tyres should be stored in the same conditions recommended for standard tyres.
Premise: examination of a damaged tyre and execution of a proper repair are the responsibilities only of a specialized tyre dealer. Pirelli does not assume any liability for operations performed by third parties.
To perform the repair of a tyre with Seal Inside technology it is necessary to remove the layer of sealant in the puncture area within the tyre until you reach the impermeable butyl layer, for an area with the same size as the repair patch to be applied; after removing the sealant the repair operation is equivalent to that of a standard tubeless tyre.
As is evident, this operation to remove the sealant from the puncture area inevitably means that the treated area loses the special technical feature of Seal Inside.
Within a product line there is no difference in terms of driving performance (rolling resistance, comfort, noise, dry and wet performance) between a Seal Inside tyre and a standard tyre.
The Seal Inside Technology does not need dedicated rims and TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) to be used safely on a vehicle; it can be used on any kind of vehicle depending on the tyre size.
In addition to the tyre size and the service description, on the tyre sidewall there are several different inscriptions: let's have a look at some of them.
This example shows a typical tubeless radial tyre.
For all asymmetric products it is important to fit the tyre on the rim in the correct position. In fact asymmetric tread pattern designs are developed to offer the best performance considering the different behaviours of the external and internal areas of the tread design.
DOT (Department Of Transportation) is a legal marking required in many countries in order to sell the tyres. DOT means the tyres meet or exceed the Department of Transportation's safety standards.
1) Means tyre meets or exceeds Department of Transportation safety standards
2) Manufacturer and Plant Code Number (Assigned by DOT)
3) Tyre Size Code Number
4) Group of Optional Symbols for the Manufacturer ( To identify the brand or other significant characteristics of the tyre)
5) Date of manufacture
When a tyre bears the ECE symbol, this means it is ECE certified and approved to meet ECE standards for physical dimensions, branding requirements and high speed endurance regulations. The marking is made up of the letter E and a number representing the country releasing the approval sheet, followed by a unique number combination for each product.
When a tyre bears the European Noise Approved number this means it is compliant with Directive 2001/43/EC, respecting the new noise emission levels set for the European countries.
UTQG is a standard defined by the DOT of the USA for grading the performances of tyres in the areas of TREADWEAR, TRACTION and TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE. It applies only to car tyres with a rim diameter of 13" and larger, but not to winter tyres.
TREADWEAR: The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tyre when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tyre graded 150 would wear one and one-half times as well on the government course as a tyre graded 100. The relative performance of tyres depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.
TRACTION: The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. These grades represent the tyre's ability to stop on wet roads as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tyre marked C may have poor traction performance. Caution: the traction grade assigned to the tyre is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, aquaplaning, or peak traction characteristics.
TEMPERATURE: The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tyre's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tyre to degenerate and reduce tyre life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tyre failure. Grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tyres must meet under the Federal Motor Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law. Caution: the temperature grade for this tyre is established for a tyre that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under inflated tyres, or excessive loads, either separately or in combination can cause heat build-up and possible tyre failure.
TWI is an important safety feature that easily allows how much tread is left on the tyre to be verified. Narrow bars of rubber are moulded at a height of 1.6 mm (2/32") across the bottom of the tread grooves. When the tread wears down to these bars, the tyre should be replaced.
Winter tyres, also called snow, cold weather or thermal tyres, and identified by the branding M+S (Mud&Snow) on the side of the tyres together with the drawing of a mountain with a snowflake. Legally the M+S marking alone is sufficient to identify a winter tyre, but the tyre industry has adopted the snowflake marking to differentiate real winter tyres (M+S and snowflake) from all-season tyres (only M+S).

A panel appointed by Gov. Steve Beshear to recommend tax reforms can have more time to complete the work if necessary.
Beshear told reporters Wednesday that members of the Blue Ribbon Commission of Tax Reform need only ask and he will amend his executive order to allow more time to finalize their recommendations.
The panel, working under a Nov. 15 deadline, has shortened a list of nearly 100 recommendations. Already, the group has stricken a proposal to institute a 6 percent tax on food at grocery stores, which would have generated some $500 million a year.
The commission is scheduled to meet again Nov. 8.
Beshear appointed the panel earlier this year to recommend a simpler tax code that would generate enough revenue to meet state needs even during recessions.
