IFPEN believes in the benefits of vehicle electrification for reducing fuel consumption and limiting the environmental impact of transport. This will mostly rely on various level of hybridization adapted to usage.
IFPEN's research in this field covers the development of electric machines and their associated power electronics, energy storage and its recharging issue, and finally the optimization of onboard energy in complex hybrid systems.
The cost of hybrid vehicles – and, to an even greater extent, that of electric vehicles – remains an obstacle to their widespread use on the market.
In this context, IFPEN is working on the development of innovative, ultracompact electric machines with a high density power, along with their power electronics. This type of machine appears to offer significant potential for industrial production at affordable prices.
In 2015, IFPEN conducted intensive research in this field with its partner Mavel, focusing on electric motors for traction. In particular, a concept was developed incorporating the possibility of a range of products, with high efficiency and low cost; it has been tested in a demonstrator vehicle. IFPEN researchers also worked on control algorithm solutions of Mavel's inverters for this concept.
To make it possible to use waste heat, IFPEN is working in partnership with start-up company Enogia on an approach based on the Rankine cycle, consisting in recovering, in the form of electricity, some of the thermal energy lost by engines, industrial processes, furnaces, turbines, solar thermal installations, etc.
The range of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) turbines already marketed by Enogia covers powers of 10 (ENO-10LT), 20 (ENO- 20LT) and 40 (ENO-40LT) kWe.
For the time being, the majority of turbines are used in the agricultural sector for biogas conversion (several farms equipped with ORC 10 and 20), as well as waste landfill sites (ORC 10 for Veolia in the Hautes-Alpes region and ORC 40 for Méthanergy in Épinay-Champlâtreux, Val-d'Oise) and to recover heat emitted by thermodynamic solar energy production installations (ORC 20 acquired by the CNRS for the solar installations in Odeillo).
A 100 kWe version of the ORC has been in the demonstration phase on the Vert-le-Grand landfill site, in the Essonne region. Early results are in line with expectations and the version is set to enter the production phase in the first quarter of 2016.
ORC 100 turbine in the demonstration phase at a landfill site.
To further expand the range of products offered, IFPEN and Enogia are now examining the possibility of adapting them for use in the transport sector. For example, within the context of the Trenergy project, supported by ANR, in partnership with Alstom Transports, an ORC 20 has been developed for diesel-electric trains. Prototype tests were finalized in 2015 on IFPEN's Lyon site, and an industrial partnership is currently under discussion. Finally, the European project Life+ EfficientShip is currently adapting an ORC 20 for use on a fishing boat. Ongoing developments may subsequently be used in road vehicles.
A vehicle's energy efficiency depends not only on the performance of its powertrain but also its use in real conditions (traffic conditions and driver behavior, for example).
IFPEN is developing a range of web services dedicated to energy efficiency and transport safety, marketed under the name DriveQuant.
These services are designed to reduce fuel consumption, improve safety and help drivers improve their driving.
IFPEN offers four different types of services:
The DriveQuant platform uses patented algorithms resulting from many years of R&D, including those developed for the GECO application, which was made freely available in 2014. DriveQuant is designed for fleet managers, insurers and new players in the field of smart mobility.

"We have many joint projects with IFPEN and our collaboration from a technical point of view has been particularly effective. Mavel counts greatly on this partnership because IFPEN's technical credibility and strength are necessary to help our jointly developed technology access very challenging markets. I'm particularly impressed by the speed with which we have submitted applications for patents to protect our innovations. I'm confident in IFPEN's capacity to react, an essential strength in the face of stiff competition to ensure our future successes."

I don't know if this is a one-off or the start of a comeback, but Jake Deckard popped up in a Cocksure Men video this week and he's taking care of Rocco Steele's monster cock. And I mean, he's really taking care of it. I've watch so many guys sucking on the tip or bobbing on the top third, but Deckard almost manages to swallow most of it. Now that's how you make a comeback.
At the height of his career back, Jake Deckard worked for the biggest and best -- Titan Men and Raging Stallion. In 2006 he was a casualty of a studio shake-up that saw Titan Men trading him for Raging Stallion's Francois Sagat. In 2007, Raging Stallion named Deckard their Man of the Year. Deckard filmed for a couple more years, then petered out. In 2012, Deckard seemed to be staging a comeback and filmed two DVDs with Dragon Media. Then came word that he was really done; he was moving on to work as a fashion photographer and massage therapist in New York City.
I'm not sure what to think of this new Cocksure Men scene. A lot of porn performers try reviving their careers, but many times I wished they'd just let their former onscreen magic swim around in my memories. But Jake and Rocco have good chemistry and Jake certainly enjoys riding Rocco's massive meat. And like I said up top, he's one of the better cocksuckers I've watching servicing that thing. And Deckard certainly had no problem taking one of Steele's hard fucks. I definitely want to watch this one a couple more times. So what do you think? Are you happy to see Jake Deckard back in a video? Do you want to see more?

Jaaskelainen keen to upset Sam
Bolton goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen is looking to put one over former boss Sam Allardyce.
Last Updated: 07/12/10 5:05pm
Bolton goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen is looking to put one over former boss Sam Allardyce on Sunday.
Allardyce will take his present team - Blackburn Rovers - to the Reebok Stadium, the scene of some of his greatest achievements in the football.
The former Trotters manager's eight-year tenure at the club coincided with him leading them into Europe and to the League Cup final.
This Lancashire derby also has the added spice of the fact that Bolton have not beaten their local neighbours at home since 1998.
And, after their 1-0 defeat to Manchester City, Jaaskelainen and his team-mates are desperate to get back to winning ways quickly.
"It's a massive game for us on Sunday," he said.
"When you lose a match it is all about how you respond in the next one. I don't think we have beaten Sam since he left the club.
"Hopefully it will be that time this weekend."

New Delhi, May 5: Delhi Daredevils speedster Morne Morkel said on Saturday that their bowling attack is in peak form under the guidance of coach Eric Simons.
"Simmons is not just a coach. He was one of the best bowling coaches and had a great time with the Indian team. He has a huge wealth of experience and has fine tuned our skills," said Morkel, who is the leading wicket taker in the IPL with 5 19 wickets.
Delhi Daredevils are placed on the top of the table with 16 points in 10 games and are tipped favourites to lift the table.
"Simmons' experience is being reflected on the performance of the team. The fast bowlers are hunting in a pack and we are enjoying each others success," said Morne on the sidelines of a promotional event.
In-form Delhi local boy Gautam Gambhir will take on Daredevils at home on May 7.
"It is going to be a crucial match for us. The clash between the two top teams will always be entertaining. Knight Riders are doing well this season and Gautam is also in good form," he said.
When asked if fans will be divided between two Delhi stars, Morne said, "I don't think so. Gambhir can be the local but Daredevils are the home team."
Daredevils, who are on a four-match winning streak, won't be complacent against a confident Gambhir-led side.
"IPL is a long tournament. Intensity may fall but surely we won't be complacent. The guys are matured and professional. We know how to handle such situations," he said.
With three ex-Delhi players, Gambhir, Rajat Bhatia and Pradeep Sangwan, in the Knight Riders team, Pathan said it would be a tough match.
"There are quite a few Delhi players in the Knight Riders team. It will be a competitive game as some the local boys in the Knight Riders team are well aware of the conditions in Kotla," he said.

UK Hoops Awaits NCAA Tournament Seeding
March 15, 2010
LEXINGTON, Ky. - After recording one of the most successful seasons in school history, the Kentucky women's basketball team will undoubtedly be making its seventh overall appearance in the NCAA Tournament when the women's selection show is announced Monday, March 15 at 7 p.m. EST on ESPN.
The Wildcats (25-7, 11-5 SEC), who will gather at head coach Matthew Mitchell's house to watch the show, have compiled an outstanding resume this season which includes tying the most wins in program history, a school-record 11 wins in the SEC and a second-place finish in the league standings. UK also had an impressive showing in the SEC Tournament last week, earning a first-round bye before defeating Auburn and Mississippi State en route to its first SEC Tournament championship game appearance since 1982. The Cats fell to No. 4 Tennessee in the final game, 70-62.
UK, which has a current RPI of 19 according to the NCAA, has appeared in six NCAA Tournaments, the last coming in 2006. The Cats went 22-9 that season and earned the fifth seed in the Bridgeport (Conn.) Region. UK defeated Chattanooga in the first round (69-59) before narrowly falling to Michigan State in the second round (67-63). UK holds a 4-6 all-time record in the Big Dance.

£2.6 billion could be needed to fix social care - LGA warns
Social care for the elderly and disabled could be facing a potential funding gap of at least £2.6 billion, the Local Government Association is warning today.
As part of its Autumn Statement submission to the Treasury, the LGA says that based on "fair price of care" calculations, the immediate pressures threatening the stability of the care provider market could amount to at least £1.3 billion.
The scale of underfunding in social care could see even more providers either pull out of the publicly-funded care market or go bust, placing vulnerable people at risk.
The LGA, which represents more than 370 councils in England and Wales, is calling on government to urgently work with councils and providers to calculate and fully fund this immediate pressure and avoid a large scale crisis.
On top of that, councils also estimate that by 2019/20, a further £1.3 billion will be required to deal with the additional pressures brought about by an ageing population, inflation, and the cost of paying the National Living Wage.
The Government should allow local government to use some of the extra business rates income it will keep by the end of the decade to plug this gap, say council leaders.
The LGA has set out an urgent call for action and says that unless social care is properly funded, it could mean:
- Growing difficulties meeting basic needs such as ensuring people are washed, dressed and helped out of bed
- Shorter care visits
- Potential reduction in quality and safety of care
- Increase in people being stuck in hospital rather than cared for in the community
The funding shortfall comes despite the extra money councils have been able to raise in 2016/17 by increasing council tax by 2 per cent to pay for social care, as well as the additional funding through the Better Care Fund at the end of the decade.
The LGA says the funding gap shows the scale of "the damage done" to the sector with councils having had to close a £5 billion funding gap within adult social care since 2010.
Councils are calling on the Chancellor to use his first Autumn Statement to provide the funding to ensure a fair care system where everybody can receive safe, high-quality care and support.
Unless this happens, the LGA is warning of the dangers of a two-tier system emerging between those able to choose and pay for their own care, and those reliant on increasingly overstretched council-funded care that is unable to meet people's needs.
In its Autumn Statement submission, the LGA also stresses the importance of putting overall council finances on a sustainable footing, to ensure adult social care is fully protected.
It warns that if councils have to make savings to fund pressures in other areas, a significant proportion of these would have to come from adult social care budgets, thereby exacerbating the problem.
Chairman of the LGA's Community Wellbeing Board, Cllr Izzi Seccombe, said:
"Our analysis shows the sheer scale of the funding crisis we face in social care, both now and in the near future, as well as the damage done from the historic underfunding of adult social care.
"Councils, care providers, charities and the NHS are all united around the need for central government to fully fund adult social care. This is essential if we are to move away from just trying to keep people alive to ensuring they can live independent, fulfilling lives, as well as alleviating the pressure on the NHS
"The care provider market cannot carry on as it is and there is a real danger of more widespread market failure. Either care is properly funded or providers will pull out of council contracts or in worst case scenario go bust. The market for publicly-funded care is simply not sustainable as it stands.
"Councils have an excellent track record in spending money wisely and efficiently, but are at the point where there is little room left to make further savings. There simply isn't the money left to pay providers at the level they say they need and we are in real danger now of seeing people suffer the consequences of this in the care that they receive.
"The current funding crisis risks creating an unfair, unequal, two-tiered care system where only the well-off will be able to get the care they need. If we are to have a fair and equitable society then we must be able to ensure that everybody is able to receive a high quality standard of care, not just those who can afford it.
"We must all aspire to ensuring the care our loved ones receive goes beyond just helping them to get washed, dressed and fed, but to supporting them to live dignified, independent lives."
The use of 'fair price of care' calculations developed by provider organisations suggests that the scale of the immediate challenge could be in the order of at least £1.3 billion. This breaks down as follows:
- Estimated additional cost of paying the UKHCA 'fair cost of care' rate for homecare: £265m
- Estimated additional cost of paying the Laing & Buisson floor 'fair cost of care' rate for older people in residential care: £1,025m
Another £1.3 billion will be required by 2019/20 to fund the additional pressures brought about by an ageing population, inflation, and the cost of paying the National Living Wage. This figure takes into account the Government's projections of the additional funding for adult social care through the council tax precept and additional funding for adult social care through the Better Care Fund by the end of the decade.
These figures take no account of cost pressures such as Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards, the closure of the Independent Living Fund, full implementation of the Care Act or unmet need.

Merchants in Kingston-Galloway, Orton Park and Mornelle Court met this month to start what may one day be an area business association or joint marketing group.

Representatives of 22 businesses and other area stakeholders from the three neighbourhoods held their first "appreciation breakfast" for what the East Scarborough Storefront calls the Inclusive Local Economy Network (ILEN).

The event at the Pavitra Restaurant on Kingston Road was meant to get businesses in the neighbourhood into the habit of networking, Victoria Armit, Storefront's local economic opportunities specialist said last week.

Though in its earliest stages, the network's stated aims include ensuring stability and growth for small businesses in these neighbourhoods, and encouraging a workforce at those businesses "that is inclusive and reflects" their communities.

"ILEN is interested in helping businesses to form lucrative collaborative relationships with one another, and we intend for the business appreciation breakfast to be the beginning of more opportunities for local business owners to meet and interact," Storefront said in a statement.

Millie Taverner, retired owner of Sisters Restaurant in West Hill, was scheduled as a guest speaker to share her expertise in attracting customers to a family business in the area which lasted more than 50 years.

A business summit on April 18 organized by Scarborough East Councillor Paul Ainslie will also address issues merchants along Kingston Road are facing.

Dragon Aces: Fight For Paradise
Just a working title. Will gladly take suggestions. This is the Dragon Flyz/AC5 story I was ranting about earlier.
A Destroyed Past Meets The Future
Oured Bay December 31, 2010, 6:15 am
The fighting was intense. The SOLG was half way to Oured and Ofnir and Grabacr were still in the air. Grimm splashed, Snow was smoking off his wing, and Kei..
"Edge, where are you!?"
"I'm hit Blaze! I have to bail out!"
If she bailed out now, that would leave him being the only able fighter but it wasn't time to hang on till the very end.
Garret dodged another missile shot, that impacted on the SOLG.
"If you get opening, take it. Same goes for…"
No answer.
"He bailed. He's fine. I got my opening."
"Go for it."
And with that it was now, 6 on 1. If that ninth plane hadn't come out of nowhere, things might be different but this is what he was facing.
"You're going down Razgriz."
"Not today."
Garret led the fighters on a weaving path around the SOLG, dodging the rotating arms, guns and missiles and circling back to do it again. And it worked. 3 – 1 and he was on the offensive. Blowing apart the cockpits of two of the fighters, he forgot about the last Grabacr and found his plane shaking to cannon fire. The left side of plane had holes and the corresponding engine was smoking. There was a pain in his left leg. He was hit but never gave up.
"This is Oka Neiba. I got some bad news. A timer on the SOLG has been activated. It's going to fire, then self destruct. You have one minute."
"Not confident anymore are ya, Razgriz? I think I'll leave you here to decide your fate while I decide the fates of your friends."
The last enemy plane dived to water and started a strafing run but never finished because that plane found that it ingested two missiles and a short burst of cannon fire.
"Edge? Grimm? Snow?"
"We're fine. Grimm's a bit banged up but we're fine." Kei said over the radio. "Destroy that thing."
Garret climbed back into the sky. The accelerator was rotating slowly but there was a soft whine in the air. It was prepping to fire. Sparrow, sidewinders, bullets, everything that could be fired, he tried.
"Central, this is Razgriz 1, respond."
"30 seconds."
"This is Central. We are evacuating as fast as we can. What's your status?"
"I'm at a loss here (22 seconds and Garret kept trying). Nothing seems to work."
"There's nothing more you can do soldier. You served you're country well."
The whine got louder.
"No! It getting ready to fire. Maybe if take it from the front."
"No time. Don't bail. Run. More enemy planes inbound"
"I love you."
"Don't say goodbye. Don't say goodbye." Garret was starting to feel tears. There was nothing he could do.
"It's ok. We'll be fine."
It happened. The SOLG fired a dual nuclear warhead carrying MIRV missile.
Garret's scream echoed in the cockpit, over the water, in Oured. The sound snapping and crunching were sickening. 3 separate explosions seemed to have happened at once and the light from it all was blinding and all Garret could do was climb and try to keep his violently shaking plane from ripping apart.
What he didn't see was a white ring open up above him and his plane fly in.
Oured was gone. The three pilots in the water, where never heard from again and Osea fell.
Garret and his Typhoon burst thru the clouds, alarms ringing, head and heart pounding, and plane spinning.
Garret worked the pedals, throttle, flaps like a musician and brought his Typhoon under control.
"Central do you read?"
"Oka Neiba, come in?"
"This is Razgriz leader. Central Command do you read?"
Still nothing. He was getting desperate. No one answered and he wasn't getting any better. The wound was still open. That's when he looked out of the cockpit.
What strange cloud cover. Is what happens when a nuke goes off? Wait, Kei!
"Repeat call sign and status?"
"I am Capt. Garret Lawson of the Razgriz Air Command Squadron. I am injured and in need of assistance, Central Command. Awaiting orders."
There was a pause.
"Roger that. Go for heading 288 after 10 miles from your current position."
Did as he was told and after ten miles, turned into heading 288. He started to decend.
"Don't descend!"
"Why *cough* not? I need to land."
"Pilot, follow directions. Don't descend. Climb to 40,000 and stay there. An escort will meet you."
Garret climbed, egging his injured fighter on. He noticed a metallic speck nearly 100-200 or so miles away and headed for it.
"Central, I'm seeing a, *cough* something floating."
"Keep heading for it."
Garret turned out autopilot and put his mask on. The smoke was making it hard to breathe and he was losing blood, slowly, but surely. He had to make it.
Outside, in the air, six people riding on 2 ton sleek dragons were approaching the wounded jet.
"Sky Command, this is Z'neth." A man in his late 30's wearing cerulean sleeveless armor riding a blue and white slender, serpentine dragon with pterosaur wings and forelimbs (all hero dragons are of this type).
"We have visual of the plane."
"Roger Z'neth, proceed."
"Alright, Dragonators, let's get in position. Summit, you got the net?"
A younger man, about 30 or 33, in forest green body armor of the same type on a dragon matching his armor color responded.
"Got it packed away tight, big brother." He pulled out a folded metallic catch net and threw one end to his younger sister.
"Apex, catch!"
"I swear Summit…" A young woman, about 25 years old, with silver armor and short orange hair riding a white dragon mumbled to herself. She attached her end of the net on the right side of her saddle. Summit did the same but on his left.
"Right, looks like I got the bottom left!" A young man, no older than 20, secured the bottom left side of the net to his saddle on his grey dragon. He wore purple and orange armor.
The other two riders secured the bottom middle and bottom right side. Z'neth took the top middle. They spread the net out to about 600 feet and moved into position at the approaching plane.
Garret barely had time to slow his plane before leveling out 35,000. It was a race against time and speed. The dragonators urged their dragons onwards as fast as they can to catch a fighter jet that was now descending due to speed loss. Thankfully the net was designed for this occasion but catching a fighter jet with six dragons and a net will not be easy.
"Hey, Z'neth."
"Yeah, Peak?"
"I know we gotta catch this blast from the past but if he head on, that jet could break the net!"
"You're right Peak. Dragonators, let's turn it around. Instead of catching it head on, we'll let it 'fall' into the net."
They managed a u-turn and were now waiting for the jet to catch up to them to 'fall' into the net. It was now a mile behind them and
"*Cough cough COUGH* C-command? Can't *cough* see. Can't *cough* breathe."
Sky Watch could get thru to Garret anymore as he was trying to hold on to reality.
"Pilot? Pilot? Pilot! Stay with me! Don't go into the white light!" The operator turned to face the other gentlemen in the room and shrugged. One had a long goatee while wearing a councilman's robe. The other, a much older man, with faded piercing blue eyes, in brown and orange armor, who was floating with his staff in hand.
"No white. *cough wheeze* Grey."
Garret felt his plane lurch against something and felt it slow down. He thought was slowly dying.
"Sky Watch to Dragonator 1? Come in Z'neth."
"Dragonator 1 here."
"Did you have a visual on the jet?"
"Sure do. We caught it. Can't say much about what's going on inside the cockpit though."
"Z'neth," the floating man came over the visual intercom. "Take care to blast the top of the dome of the cockpit. We can't risk injuring the pilot anymore than he already is."
"I got this Z." Summit touched his left wrist band and mini-laser turret-type thing angled out. He aimed at the very top of cockpit covering, tensed his arm slightly and bright blue flash of light came out of the turret. The laser bolt connected with the cockpit, creating a hole about 2 feet wide, letting the smoke out.
The smoke's clearing. Ha.
Garret was awake long enough to turn his head to the left and right.
Dragons? Yeah, I'm dead.
"Pilot, can you turn off your engines?"
Garret shrugged slightly and killed all systems. Then he passed out.
There is the intro to AC5/Dragon Flyz story. Yes, I know, Kei is not there with Garret. I actually wanted that to happen. It's gonna play a big role later in the story cuz there are only two main female Dragonators in Dragon Flyz (i could be wrong). So what did you think? Yes? No? Maybe?
Now it's all on you, the readers, if you want it continued here in the shorts or as a separate story? i want at least 5 responses to this before i add another to any of my works. I'm serious.
I'm working on the Garret vs. Hamilton. it might take longer than i planned to finish it. i want the aerial battle to be truly epic. when i need toy planes, i dont have any. *le sigh* paper planes! duh!
anyways, i still expect at least 5 reviews before i post anything on this or any of my other stuff. i am holding this hostage.
Be safe. God Bless.

The Hunga Munga was an African tribal weapon. It was a handheld weapon which had four blades; three of which were fairly straight and pointed in all opposing directions, forward up and back. The final and largest blade located above the forward facing straight blade was curved and turned to meet the top blade.
The weapon could be used in hand-to-hand combat although it was typically thrown with a spinning action.
The Hunga Munga was one of the weapons employed by the Family Home enslavers along with large clubs. During the Slayer Buffy Summers' rebellion against Ken, who lured homeless teenagers in his dimension and enslaved them, she used one of these weapons against the enslavers, providing a distraction so Lily Houston could gather and escort the slaves out.
The Hunga Munga was also wielded by a Lubber Demon, who attacked Angel in a physics lab.
The blade was also part of the arsenal Charles Gunn, Winifred Burkle and Connor carried when attempting to track down the vampire Marissa.
Behind the Scenes
- The Hunga Munga appears in every episode in the opening credits from Season 3 to 5 as it uses the shot of Buffy weilding one during "Anne".
- It appeared in two Buffyverse season premieres.
- "Anne"
- "Happy Anniversary"
- "Deep Down"

Prized Max Liebermann Painting Was Nazi Loot, German Experts Say
LONDON—German government-appointed experts on Friday gave the green light to the restitution of one of the most valuable artworks in the trove of late collector Cornelius Gurlitt to its American owners.
Art experts mandated by Germany to comb Mr. Gurlitt's collection for Nazi loot said that "Two Riders on the Beach," a 1901 Max Liebermann painting, was looted during World War II and rightfully belonged to the heirs of David Friedmann, a German-Jewish collector who died in the early 1940s. The family is currently suing the Bavarian government for its return.

Best Of :: People & Places
Remember when the downtown skyline of Broward County's largest city was just a scattered handful of high-rise office buildings? If you've lived in South Florida for more than a few years, of course you do. And if you go back more than two decades, you'll remember a skyline distinguished largely by the edifice widely known as "that big brown building with the neon that looks vaguely like an outline of the state of Florida." No more. The accelerating construction boom has led to an increasingly dense mass of big buildings downtown, including a surprising number of residential towers. One of those, the unfinished 42-floor River House, is already the tallest building in the greater metropolitan area. Now, when you approach downtown Fort Lauderdale from almost any direction, the looming skyline provokes roughly the same reaction you get heading into Miami -- this is a real city. Best view: from the sweeping arc of the flyover from eastbound I-595 to I-95 north. You probably don't want to be down there driving in it -- the construction and all it entails continues -- but it's great to look at from afar.
We know that a lot of guys, including mayors, enjoy some Internet porn. And there's nothing wrong with that as long as you play by a couple of rules. First of all, you gotta keep your wanking rate below that of the average zoo monkey. And second, you need to hide your tracks. Everybody knows it's going on, but that doesn't mean anybody wants to see evidence of it. And it's that second part where long-time Pembroke Pines Mayor Alex Fekete screwed up in a big way. He sent his personal laptop computer to the city techies to have it repaired for a virus and left, oh, about 23,000 pornographic photos on there for all to see (which makes us wonder if he also didn't break rule number one, as well). And see the smut, city employees did. Then they sent it to the State Attorney's Office for an investigation. Thankfully, there were no charges, since there was no child porn in the mix. I'm not sure, but if you've got 23,000 dirty pictures on your computer, it's no wonder you picked up a virus. Fekete, in his defense, insinuated that some saboteur had infected his computer with the porn. Yes, the dreaded evildoer Pornman struck again. Now this was all a major-league F-up, but it's not even his biggest gaffe. Hell, it happened three years ago, and somehow Fekete escaped media scrutiny. No, where Fekete really whacked himself, so to speak, was by bringing up his little pornodrama at a political function in February. To a group of retirees, no less. It was a pathetic attempt at damage control, since the Herald and Sun-Sentinel jumped on the story. Well, to make a long story a little longer, Fekete isn't the mayor anymore. The disturbed retirees voted him right out of office in March. The good news: Now he has plenty of time to pursue his other, um, interests.
Not even those overwrought 1980s prime-time soap operas -- like Dallas and Falcon Crest -- ever came up with a better script than what's been happening at our public health system. It begins with Austin Forman, the scion of the county's most powerful family. J.R. -- I mean Austin -- rigged a sweetheart deal with the tax-subsidized North Broward Hospital District to build a medical office building. With the help of district CFO Patricia Mahaney, he and a couple of partners stood to make $100 million on the public's dime. But then Alexis -- I mean Mahaney -- who'd gone on an exotic vacation to Africa with Forman, got too greedy and was busted by the feds for embezzling NBHD money. A federal grand jury has since convened to investigate the deal -- and the scandal leads all the way to the governor, who happens to be the president's brother and heir to the White House in 2008. This one hasn't played out all the way yet, so we can't wait for the next episode. Readers' Choice: Miriam Oliphant
Um. Oh. Well. Uh. Shit. You're younger than you think you are.
You don't so much listen to Jim "Mad Dog" Mandich as you rubberneck him. He's a loud, obnoxious, full-of-himself, loutish, often-wrong boor. In other words, he's perfect for that abrasive medium called radio. What's more, Mandich is perfect for sports, especially since he's a former jock himself, having played several seasons as a mediocre tight end for the Dolphins. With his sports pedigree, Mandich has a special insider quality that somewhat tones down the repulsive nature of his character. (Though he could never touch the smarm level of his WPLG-TV (Channel 10) television partner Jimmy Cefalo, another former Dolphins receiver). Mandich doesn't just talk about sports; he's liable to ramble on about the hangover he has from freebie cocktails he drank the night before or provide an anecdote that reveals his lecherous nature. You never know what this train wreck of a man is going to say next -- and that's what really makes him hard to ignore. Readers' Choice: Neil Rogers
Pretty much the Sentinel's bite-size version of Jim DeFede, Mayo's heart is in the right place. The former sportswriter has a conscience and a Jimmy Breslin-like way of reporting issues rather than just commenting on them. He zeroes in on controversial topics and provokes meaty debate. Willing to cast a withering sidelong glance at the folly of our ways, Mayo pisses people off, and that's good. A recent misguided letter-writer complained that the columnist "should be more objective," because, "after all, honesty and objectivity are the only things that distinguish you from the tabloids." Hey -- we resemble that remark! As a columnist, Mayo is paid to spew his opinion hose over anyone who gets close to it. You know you're soaking in it.

Dear Stoner: The holidays are coming up, and I'm thinking about getting a seasonal job for extra income, something with low responsibility, like retail or working with Christmas trees. I enjoy cannabis recreationally. Do you have any advice on how to surreptitiously find places of employment that do not conduct a new-hire drug test? I'd rather avoid those that do altogether than find out about the drug test after they already have all of my information. Thanks!
High Anxiety
Dear High: Urine luck. Get it? Man, we crack ourselves up after a few dabs. Anyway, the good news is that most low-paying, low-responsibility seasonal jobs don't give a shit about your marijuana use. Christmas-tree stands are great places to work and sneak in a toke now and then, just as long as you're not operating a chainsaw or anything like that. And if the seasonal gig is anything like the jobs my friends have had over the holidays, your boss will probably toke with you.
In retail, they just need a live body to fold clothes and clean up after insane consumers. Most stores in the mall that will hire your stoned ass aren't going to waste the money on drug-testing you for a month's worth of employment at minimum wage. They know you're getting high, because you'd have to be stoned to take the job in the first place. If by some chance they do end up asking you for a drug test after the job interview, simply don't show up. Who cares if they have your information? Not showing up doesn't imply you're guilty of drug use — not to mention that the 24-year-old half-drunk manager at Lucky Brand jeans is too busy sifting through a hundred other applications and trying to land a rich, hot customer to even notice if you don't follow through. If you're that concerned, call him and tell him you got a better job offer at H&M.
Stoned or just blowing smoke?

Dear Stoner: I would like to get a test for my THC levels without risking my driving privilege. If the marijuana industry is so smart and innovative, why is nothing being offered to consumers?

Dear Steve: Didn't know the marijuana industry was responsible for your self-control or driving habits. I probably wouldn't blame my local craft brewer or even Pabst if I got a DUI; I haven't needed a breathalyzer test to figure out that I've had too many since... ever. Still, I can see how the lack of science and clarity behind marijuana impairment is frustrating for all parties involved. Sadly, there isn't much of a solution on the horizon, because proving marijuana consumption and actual impairment aren't one and the same — and science can currently only do the former.
Proving a pot DUI is difficult because THC can linger in the bloodstream long after the driver would be considered impaired — if, indeed, the driver ever was. Habitual marijuana users routinely test above the five-nanogram limit more than 12 hours after they last consumed marijuana; infrequent users can test below the limit despite having smoked just a couple of hours earlier, creating a headache for police officers and prosecutors alike. Some companies are trying to develop breathalyzer tests to better detect THC, but they currently face the sort of accuracy issues leveled at blood tests.
Alcohol breathalyzers didn't appear overnight either. Let's hope THC detection can catch up soon. Until then, it's up to you.

重现旧雾社 赛德克片场将开放
电影「赛德克.巴莱」在林口搭设雾社街场景,导演魏德圣决定捐赠市府,由市府规画开放参观营运,图为雾社街景的「公学校」。他指出,究发现,富裕的拉丁家庭,彩笔;而作为报答,r />
地球是圆的,希腊数学家毕达哥拉斯以《地圆说》证明的存在事实;世界是平的,《纽约时报》专栏作家汤马斯.佛里曼提出的未来趋势。National Palace Museum; Yuan-dynasty master Huang Gongwang; Ming masters Shen Zhou and Tang Yin; Giuseppe Castiglione, the amalgamator of East and West who painted for the Chinese imperial palace; and the early Taiwanese modern art master Shui-Long Yen. Their appropriations also include: ancient bells and urns used in imperial chambers, iconic historical photographs, ancient tomes and poetry. Based on the subject matter of the appropriated works, the exhibition is divided into seven categories, harkening back to the classification system of dynastic China: Landscapes; Taoism and Buddhism; Human Figures; Tales of the Mysterious; Calligraphy; Flowers, Birds and Beasts; and Photographic Images. In this way, it examines the intentions of contemporary artists in appropriating these classic works, and the ways in which they have refashioned the past.
In Taiwan of the 1960s, the influential art forms arriving from the West were predominantly abstract and conceptual art. It was not until the 1990s that Western Dadaism and Warholian pop art began to have a significant impact. After the end of martial law in 1987, the pace of democratization in Taiwanese society quickened, and social attitudes gradually opened up. This was reflected in art with a broadening of thought and diversification of creative elements and subject matter. In "postmodern" society with its commercialization and mass reproduction of images, "classic works" and literary narratives became disengaged from their cultural contexts, losing their functions as palace decorations and sources of enlightenment. No longer was art the symbolically expressive, elite works of the traditional humanities. It had moved from the refined, gentrified classes of the past to the popular culture of today.
For the contemporary age, these classic works present richly beautiful, powerful images and a sense of mystery engendered by distance in time. Yet unlike dynastic-era artists whose imitations were based on the foundation of "reverence for antiquity," these famous works, after having undergone mass reproduction, ceased being rarely glimpsed works of the imperial court and became "images" that anyone could behold or obtain at a moment's notice. They had even lost the textures and brushstrokes of the original, existing in a "flattened" state. Ruminating on local history, cultural values and identity, Taiwanese contemporary artists made use of those artworks that once adorned imperial power and symbolized the tastes of the literati class, engaging in a dialogue with their own history and culture, disassembling, reassembling, re-creating and altering the styles and subject matter of classic works through symbolic or allegorical images in order to enunciate their views on the present-day state of affairs through simile or metaphor. These include: consideration and breakthroughs in aesthetics and forms of expression; criticism of the current state of Taiwanese society, history and culture; voicing of their own inner ideal worlds and feelings about life; and the transformation of the artistic tastes of the past to a popular, commercial aesthetic more closely oriented toward everyday life. At the same time, as contemporary artists re-examine and re-create classic works of the past, they also re-accentuate and rediscover the artistic accomplishments of the past in light of new definitions and the perspective of art history. As artists refabricate the past, amid this convergence of dual-directional observation, discovery, transformation and original creation, they yield a wealth of meaning and limitless possibilities of expression in the contemporary era.

I didn't mean to give the impression by "every month or two" that we should actually have anything remotely resembling a schedule driven by arbitrary dates. I meant here to suggest a very rough idea of the sort of frequency that I think might actually work, and to bring up the point that what we might consider minor features can be viewed by users as major. -- Robert Muir email@example.com

A/N : This is going to be a first in what I hope to be long running AU series entitled "Smith Family Adventures" in this Sarah Jane is married to Harry also a companion of the Doctor they have a 17 year old daughter Vanessa and they just adopted Luke,so the story starts out with "Revenge of the Slitheen"(Keeping the surname Smith)
The blare of the alarm clock woke Vanessa Smith up. She hit the snooze button and was about to go back to sleep when she noticed her bedroom door slowly opening. She grabbed her bat from under the bed, prepared to use it. Vanessa liked to be prepared for anything and Mum and Dad always knocked and waited for her to give permission. Vanessa stood up gripping the bat tightly, ready to hit. A head appeared then, a young boy, about 13 years old, came into the room. Vanessa laughed with relief,she had forgotten about Luke, her younger adopted brother ,who had been created by an alien race called the Bane. Luke was "born" last week ,but he looked thirteen. Mum and Dad had adopted him. He was human with the brain and DNA of 10,000 humans.
"Why are you holding that?" Luke asked gesturing toward the bat. Everything was still new to him. He wasn't sure why his sister was holding a bat.
"Thought you were an intruder." Vanessa said, kicking the bat back under her bed.
"Is that good or bad?" Luke asked, not sure what an intruder was.
"Bad, but you weren't." she looked him up and down. He had his school uniform on and he looked well,"proper"; most of the kids his age would have tucked the tie halfway into their shirt and had their shirt half tucked in. She sighed. Well the teachers would be happy with how he looked anyway.
Vanessa shooed him out of the room, saying she needed to get dressed.
Luke wandered downstairs and into the kitchen. Sarah Jane was at the kitchen table reading the paper and drinking a cup of tea. She looked up, her eyes softening when she saw Luke.
"Good Morning." she said.
Luke settled in the chair opposite,
"Good morning." he was reading the front page of the paper. According to the paper there was some sort of new block at the school he was starting at today.
Sarah Jane looked over at Luke,"Would you like some breakfast? There's cereal and Harry made eggs and bacon," she wasn't surprised when he chose cereal, they had found out last week that while Luke was not a picky eater (except peppers he hated peppers) and would basically eat whatever was put on his plate,he really liked the sugar coated cereal and it was a good thing he had been created with good teeth.
"Morning all," Vanessa bounced into the room, giving Sarah Jane a kiss as she made her way over to the stove and served herself some eggs, bacon and toast. She carried her plate back to the table.
"Where's Dad?" she asked, looking around.
"He's at the hospital. You guys should get going." Sarah Jane said.
Vanessa ate a few bites and grabbed her bag,"Come on Luke, I'll give you a lift to school." she offered, swallowing the last bite of toast and after giving Sarah Jane another quick kiss, grabbed her car keys heading out to the car. Luke gathered up his backpack. Sarah Jane walked over to him and gave him a kiss
"Have a good day." she said.
"Bye,Mum." he said as easily as if he'd been calling her that all his life, Sarah Jane smiled,
"Oh no Sarah Jane is just fine." Luke nodded and headed outside and climbed into the car.
line break
They pulled up in front of the school. Vanessa turned to Luke. He looked worried, so she squeezed his hand reassuringly,"I remember my first day, I was nervous, but you get used to it."
"I don't know anyone." Luke said.
"You know Maria." Vanessa said, gesturing toward their neighbour. She had been the first person Luke had met that fateful day in the Bane factory. Luke got out of the car as Maria came over.
"Hi." she said.
"Hey Maria." Vanessa greeted the younger girl.
Maria was staring at the building in awe,"That's a bit flash." she said. Luke and Vanessa looked to where she was pointing.
"It's new." Luke said, recalling what he had read that morning. Maria pulled him along and soon they were lost in a throng of children.
Line break
Vanessa was waiting for them at the end of the day. She got out of the car and waved them over.
"How was it?" she asked, looking at Maria,but directing her question at Luke.
"The canteen food was off." Luke said. getting into the passenger seat
"And the headmaster kept farting in assembly. It smelled weird" Maria said, climbing into the back seat.
"How bad was the canteen food? I remember I always hated the school lunches." Vanessa said, smiling .
"It was mouldy, tomorrow I'm bringing my own lunch." Maria said. Vanessa looked over at Luke he had gone quiet and she wondered what he was thinking. They pulled into the driveway and Sarah Jane came out of the house just as Alan Jackson biked up. When he saw his daughter climbing out of Vanessa's car he began to tease her good naturedly.
"I'm going to go start on tea." Vanessa said, pulling Luke toward the house with her. She really wanted to get Luke alone so she could ask him his day had really gone,but he disappeared up the stairs before she could ask. She sighed and busied herself with getting the tea on;hamburgers and chips. A few minutes later her mothercame in. "I have an article to write. How did Luke's first day go?" she asked.
B/N; Is it Mum or Sarah Jane? Might want to stick with just one.
"Not sure, he didn't say." Vanessa shrugged.,"Maybe he'll tell you."
"I'll be up in the attic." Sarah Jane said,"Tell Luke, okay."
Vanessa nodded and turned the oven on when the power went out,
"Great" she muttered, hoping it didn't last long. Mum would know; she had her scanner that not only detected alien life but did other things too. She climbed the stairs to the attic. Luke was up there too.
"Power's out." she said unnecessarily. She sat down on the sofa bed,"Wonder how long it'll last. Have you checked the power grid."
"Her scanner isn't working." Luke said.
"Neither is Mr. Smith." Sarah Jane said, gesturing toward the wall where their super computer, Mr. Smith was stored. Vanessa frowned. Mr. Smith had a back up generator that was supposed to kick on if a power surge ever happened, that's what is was there for . As quickly as it went out, the power came back on again, the laptop booted up, and Vanessa could hear the TV downstairs come on. Luke stood up.
"I'm going to go do my homework." he headed downstairs. Vanessa stayed behind and looked at Sarah Jane,"Did he talk to you?"
Sarah Jane nodded,"He said he kept making social mistakes,I told him he was still learning, still new to the world."
Vanessa nodded,"I'll talk with him too." she offered. She went downstairs and into the kitchen. Luke was sitting at the table surrounded by his school books and papers. After checking on the burger and fries,she pulled out a chair and sat across from him.
"I remember I used to put off doing my homework. Mum always used to threaten to take away my telly watching privileges if I didn't get to it." Vanessa said, laughing,"I hated maths especially."
Luke looked up, "I like maths,it's easy, it fits."
"So how was school really, apart from what you and Maria told me?" Vanessa pressed.
"I don't fit in and I don't know anyone except Maria and Clyde. Sarah Jane says I'll learn." Luke said.
"Sarah Jane?" Vanessa looked confused, wondering why Luke didn't call her Mum. Come to think of it, he didn't call Harry Dad either. She'd have to tell them he should call them Mum and Dad. They were his parents.
Line break
Later that night, after Luke had gone to bed, Vanessa found both her parents in the front room watching the news. Vanessa sat in the armchair.
I've been thinking about Luke." she began.
Sarah Jane gestured for her to go on and Vanessa continued,"He's your son and my brother, adopted, true, but he's ours in every sense of the word, so he should call you Mum and Dad, don't you think, and I think he wants to." she pointed out
Harry looked at Sarah Jane,"Nessa's right, he's a Smith, and we are his parents."
Sarah Jane nodded and Vanessa smiled and settled back to watch TV.
A/N: Slitheen coming up next
B/N;This is really good. You tend to have commas instead of full stops, and you don't put commas where they're meant to go, but I fixed that up. This chapter was very Harry light. Is he going to feature more in later chapters?
Also, I noticed that you forgot to put question marks when people asked questions a few times.
Other than that, I really enjoyed it and I look forward to reading more.

Massive Layoffs Hit Miami-Based Univision, Fusion Takes Huge Hit
When Univision bought Gawker Media, many media observers questioned whether Fusion's days were numbered.
For years, critics have touted Miami's Univision as one of the most forward-thinking and daring media organizations in America. Jorge Ramos, the network's charismatic lead anchor, has emerged as a Walter Cronkite-level character in American politics. But Fusion, the network's experiment in millennial-focused, web-driven news, has floundered for a stable identity despite huge funding initiatives and a ton of big-name hires.
Today it appears Univision has all but pulled the rug out from the flagging company, which maintains offices in New York City and Doral.
Two Miami-based Univision employees tell New Times that a wash of layoffs has hit the company today. One Univision staffer says the job cuts will be meted out over the next few days, and the Washington Post reports that between 200 and 250 employees could lose their jobs in a company-wide reshuffling.
Most media-watchers knew the gutting was coming. Over the summer, the network acquired the similarly aimed but more established
Launched in 2013 as a partnership between Univision and Disney, Fusion was pitched as a "Latin-American-focused Buzzfeed" but never quite found its footing. The site was consistently drowned out by similar websites such as Buzzfeed, Vice, and Vox. Univision also owns the satire outlet the Onion and the black-news focused site the Root.
Fusion also maintains a cable TV channel, and Variety reports Univision will replace most of its current Fusion programs with Gawker-, Onion-, and Root-based content.
A Univision spokesperson provided a nebulous statement to New Times regarding the layoffs. The company did not respond to followup questions regarding the size of the layoffs, which departments were affected, or how many Miami employees were axed:
"We operate in a fast changing and dynamic industry and we regularly make adjustments to ensure we are nimble and best positioned to continue investing in Univision's growth. As part of a broader effort to streamline operations, we eliminated a number of positions in various areas of the Company. Over the next several months, we will be adding new positions to support strategic growth areas that will allow us to be better poised to serve our diverse audiences across platforms and meet the needs of our partners."
Though the job cuts technically will affect the entire network, it seems Fusion will likely take the most damage.
Adam Weinstein, a big-name investigative reporter whom Fusion poached from the now-extinct Gawker Media (long before Univision bought Gawker), tweeted this past Thursday that he was leaving the network.
Seems like a cruddy time for personal news, but here we are. I am leaving Fusion and looking for a change in life...— Adam Weinstein (@AdamWeinstein) November 10, 2016
Anyhow, a lot of talented writers and editors are available to you today, myself included.— Adam Weinstein (@AdamWeinstein) November 16, 2016
firstname.lastname@example.com https://t.co/0uEd9wQ5pS
As Weinstein noted, the layoffs came just days after the company's editorial employees voted to unionize:
So strange for a media corporation to lay off so many talented writers who unionized just days ago— Adam Weinstein (@AdamWeinstein) November 16, 2016
More Fusion employees reported losing their jobs as well:
I have been laid off at @fusion due to restructuring. If you or someone you know is hiring, please let me know.— kelsey mckinney (@mckinneykelsey) November 16, 2016
If you have openings and want recommendations I will be happy to talk to you about the very talented people let go from Fusion today.— Hillary Frey (@hilella) November 16, 2016

Fusion's layoffs are a true bummer for Miami's media landscape. The company lured nationally known, talented journalists to South Florida, most of whom will presumably now be drawn back into the media home bases of Washington and New York.
In recent years, Fusion has cranked out some incredible investigative journalism on a regular basis: Just this past summer, the site published a vital investigation showing that the whiteness of the nation's criminal prosecutors has led to harsh sentences for black and brown Americans.
