People watching can be defined as the act of observing others and their interactions, which involves guessing a passerby's story.
One of my favourite things about Barcelona is the vibrant and colourful café culture, with a café or bar positioned on practically every corner, allowing you to stop for a café con leche or cerveza, and watch the world and its people pass by.
I love nothing more than to sip a coffee in a busy plaza, enjoy the weather and observe the vast array of people passing by, whether it be a group of inquisitive tourists, gossiping housewives or hasty businessmen.
So, where are the best people watching spots in Barcelona to watch the world go by around you?
Table of Contents
Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya
Where? Palau Nacional, Parc de Montjuïc, 08038 Barcelona
You don't have to go inside the Museum itself (although it is well worth a visit) – You can simply sit on the steps, enjoy a beer or glass of cava if you fancy splashing out, and enjoy the stunning views and watch the bustling tourists, runners and locals go by.
Plaça Reial
Where? Located in the Gothic Quarter, just off Las Ramblas
A beautiful square in the heart of the Barri Gotic, the central feature being the beautiful fountain, lined with old-fashioned streetlights and glorious palm trees. The square is lined with a plethora of charming bars and restaurants – the perfect spot to sit, enjoy a drink and maybe some tapas and look out on to the stunning plaza.
Parc de la Cuitadella
Where? Passeig de Picasso, 21, 08003
Nestled away in the Northeast edge of Cuitat Vella, Parc de la Cuitadella is the ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the beautiful and tranquil park. There are several cafes dotted around the park and it's filled with benches, so why not bring along a picnic and soak up the atmosphere. As far as people watching goes, it definitely won't disappoint!
Café Zurich, Plaça de Catalunya
Where? Located in the heart of the bustling and vibrant Plaça de Catalunya
The famous Café Zurich is slap bang in the centre of Plaça de Catalunya and therefore arguably the perfect people watching position. Owing to its location, the coffee is slightly pricey but nonetheless a great spot to have a cappuccino and watch the hoards of tourists and Barcelonians alike pass by (be mindful of your belongings – it's a hot spot for pickpockets too).
La Barceloneta
Where? An area in the Cuitat Vella, home to the beautiful Barceloneta beach, highly popular with tourists
The beautiful seaside neighbourhood is filled with cafes, restaurants and bars – particularly lively in the summer months, there is nowhere better to enjoy a cocktail (or two) and watch the roller-skaters, beachgoers and disgruntled locals go past.

Global Sisters Report is focusing a special series on mining and extractive industries and the women religious who work to limit damage and impact on people and the environment, through advocacy, action and policy. Pope Francis last year called for the entire mining sector to undergo "a radical paradigm change." Sisters are on the front lines to help effect that change.
The mines no longer operate.
The large trucks that carried heavy equipment no longer rumble down dirt roads fogging the air with dust.
The workers no longer trudge along those same roads inhaling the dust weighted by the humidity of dawn.
Community opposition succeeded in shutting down mines in Nueva Esperanza in northern Honduras and El Tránsito far to the south near the border of Nicaragua. But to many people in these two small towns the closings serve only as a pyrrhic victory.
For now, the armed guards that circled the mines are gone. But gone too are the jobs the mines provided. In their place, a lingering loss of trust among residents in these agricultural communities, and a continuing fear that this is just a temporary respite before the mines in both towns reopen.
The privately owned mines began their operations in regions where families had subsisted off the land for centuries. The mines' presence altered both the landscape and the social fabric of these communities.
Now, more than two years after countless protests stopped the mines, the fault lines between those who support mining and those who don't because of concern about the potential for environmental damage and the loss of a way of life continue to divide communities and even some families. More disturbingly, death threats toward opponents of mining have become an increasing concern, especially since the murder of Honduran environmental activist Berta Cáceres in March of this year.
Honduras now has the highest murder rate for environmental activists in the world, and conflict over land rights is the primary driver. Rampant inequality, a weak judicial system, cozy relationships between political and business elites, and near total impunity for crimes against human rights defenders have contributed to 109 murders of environmental activists between 2010 and 2015, according to Global Witness, a British non-governmental organization which tracks human rights and environmental abuses.
"We were threatened: 'You better not show your face in this town again,' " said Sr. Maria de Rosario Soriano, a member of the Messengers of the Immaculate order, who with other sisters from her community supported anti-mining activists in Nueva Esperanza. "We didn't go to Nueva Esperanza for a few weeks. Even the priests and our mother superior told us it was better to stay away for a while."
Hundreds of miles away, outside El Tránsito, where tree-lined mountains punctuate a seared skyline of hazy heat, Sr. Reyna Corea sat in the shaded terrace of Hermanas of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary. She knew of the struggles in Nueva Esperanza but said with evident relief that El Tránsito was not as divided. However, she added, all was not well. Differences between the residents of El Tránsito and implicit threats existed there, too.
"I feel I'm discriminated against by the police and municipality," said Corea, 51, who opposed mining in El Tránsito. "When I need help to bring water to a community, they deny me and the other sisters. They say we are with those activists who protest and riot. They say we are with the instigators. They say, 'You better stop what you are doing.' In Honduras, such a warning makes an impression."
The mine comes to Nueva Esperanza
Nueva Esperanza is home to about 1,000 people. Five rivers run through it: Leán, Congo, the Metalias, Santiago and Alao. The town sits at the foot and climbs up the slopes of the mountains that separate the department or county of Atlántida from the neighboring department of Yoro. The mountains hold gold, iron and other mineral deposits. Dirt roads, some not more than paths, line the mountains. The people here farm the rich soil, harvesting corn, beans and other basic staples.
"We are poor," a woman said near the church in Arizona, about a two-hour drive from Nueva Esperanza, "but we are not hungry."
Between 2011 and 2013, when businessman Lenir Perez, owner of the Minerales Victoria mining company, purchased 2471.05 acres, covering all of Nueva Esperanza and 15 other farming communities, the residents of Nueva Esperanza "were victims of militarization and para-militarization of their territories, persecution and threats, and police and judicial harassment," according to a co-sponsored report by El Equipo de Reflexión, Investigación y Comunicación (ERIC), a Jesuit-sponsored investigation and research organization in Honduras, and the College for Public Health and Social Justice at Saint Louis University of Missouri. The June 2016 report found that families lived under siege. Activists received death threats from the police and anonymous callers by phone and text messaging.
"For more than a year we could not go out after 6 p.m.," said activist Olga Hernandez, 29, a Nueva Esperanza resident. "Private security from the mine patrolled the streets. Nothing ever happened. It was a psychological thing: 'Don't go out, or else.' That 'or else' kept us inside."
Despite the intimidation, Soriano spoke out against the mine.
"The mine first came offering jobs and huge amounts of money for land," she recalled. "So, we started telling the community, 'Don't be naive and believe in everything they offer.'"
Soriano said she and another sister, Presentación Aguilar, organized community meetings in local churches to discuss mining and its impact on health and the environment. They cited the Book of Genesis and how it called on mankind to protect nature, not exploit it.
Perez, the sisters said, never confronted them. But men with guns who did not wear police or military uniforms observed their meetings. They did not attend but peered through windows.
"We had to give talks with armed goons looking in on us," Soriano said. "It came to a point where we were so afraid we called our mother superior and asked her if we should leave or stay. She told us to look into our hearts and we felt we could not leave the community."
The sisters stayed, but the harassment, they said, continued even within the church. At one meeting, Aguilar discussed her opposition to mining when a member of the church jumped up and told her to shut up and stop spreading lies.
"You could feel the anger and the uproar in the entire community," said Aguilar. "Hatred was in the air between those who worked for the mine and those who opposed it. Even in church gatherings."
Although Perez, who did not return repeated phones calls and emails requesting an interview for this story, never confronted the sisters, he did communicate with the vicar of the nearby parish of Arizona. A priest there, Fr. Cesar Espinoza, had been voicing his support for those who opposed mining.
"I spoke out against the mine," Espinoza, 39, recalled. "On local radio, from the pulpit. I asked the bishop to speak out against it. I spoke everywhere and wrote my opinions for publications."
In May 2013, Espinoza's supervisor, the vicar, exchanged emails with Perez. He chastised Perez for not being candid about his operation and for increasing antagonism.
"Do you think being transparent is to sneak in machinery on a Saturday escorted by the police?" Vicar Victor Camara wrote in an email, a copy of which was provided to Global Sisters Report. "Have you chosen force and conflict? I hope that you ponder the consequences and that above all no human lives be put at stake, since no human life is worth all the gold in the world. Please know that with conflict there will be no winners, everybody will lose, including you."
Perez responded that he "only believed in doing things in an honest way." He said it saddened him to see Honduras "taken apart by businessmen, drug dealers, politicians and environmentalists (communists and subversive curas)." Curas is a derogatory term for priests. Perez also accused the church of cowardice for not having stopped Espinoza's advocacy against the mine. He called Espinoza "another sinner behind his robe."
"Believe me, I would like to open that mine hand in hand with the community," Perez wrote, "but I will not allow a Guatemalan [Espinoza] and the activists to destroy this country."
Two months later, on July 25, 2013, Orlane Vidal and Daniel Langmeier, with the Honduras Accompaniment Project, a program of the Friendship Office of the Americas designed to engage in nonviolent protest in Honduras, were held captive for two and a half hours by armed men, who, according to Amnesty International, were from the Nueva Esperanza mining project.
The observers had been staying with a family opposed to the mine. Amnesty International found that the leader of the armed men told Vidal and Langmeier that they would be "disappeared in the woods" if they returned to the area. The observers were held at gunpoint and warned not to speak publicly about their abduction. They were released at a bus stop in Nueva Florida, a town not far from Nueva Esperanza. They filed complaints with the authorities. The abductors were not charged.
"It was like an amber alert when we heard about the abduction," Espinoza recalled. "Everyone — activists, church members — called the government demanding their release. The vice president issued the order to locate them immediately."
The kidnapping galvanized the community. Honduran law allows mayors the final decision on whether a mine can or cannot operate in their township. In the municipal elections of 2013, anti-mine activists met with mayoral candidates and asked them to sign an anti-mining pledge. On August 20, 2014, upon taking office, the newly elected mayor, Mario Fuentes, closed the Nueva Esperanza mine. But activists say the closing did not end the matter.
"The problem is still ongoing," said Sr. Aguilar. "The mine still owns the land. What will happen if we elect a mayor who supports mining?"
Activist Olga Hernandez said the land remains as scarred as the community.
"Today, you see plants and trees growing back but the personal damage is like the mountains they flattened. You can't make a mountain grow back."
After the mine closed, resentful, unemployed mine workers unleashed their anger toward the activists, said Arizona deputy mayor Cesar Alvarenga, an opponent of the mine. He said his wife left him because of the threats.
"Yes, I still get threats," Alvarenga said. "This fight has ruined my life. It is very difficult to live with fear because we know these people are so powerful. They have money and the support of the government and won't go away easily. They invested a lot of money, and we know they won't lose it like that."
A town with a 200-year-old mining history
More than 500 miles south of Nueva Esperanza, the town of El Tránsito stands beneath a wide sky and bright sun that scorches the land with a dry heat far different from the humidity that wraps the mountains of Nueva Esperanza.
The El Tránsito mine dates back to the early 1800s. Hundreds of mining tunnels, residents say, run beneath the town like a maze of prairie dog burrows, destabilizing centuries-old buildings. Decades of mining, residents say, polluted local waters making it unfit for human consumption because of high levels of cyanide and lead, among other heavy minerals. There are no known official reports, but residents say they don't use the water.
"We used to play in the closed mines," recalled activist Jose Lucio Lopez, 43, who grew up in El Tránsito. "It was a beautiful little town. Quiet. Nothing was ever disturbed."
The mine had been closed for decades when it started operations again in 2014 after Honduran businesswoman Maria Gertrudis Valle claimed the land as belonging to her. She did not respond to messages from GSR asking for comment.
"Five years ago this woman came into town," recalled Sr. Reyna Corea. "She said she had documents that showed this land belonged to her. She sent representatives to speak for her. She was like a ghost, rarely seen but known to exist."
At first, Corea said, the residents of El Tránsito supported the mine until its workers began using explosives. The ground trembled and the walls and floors of houses began to crack.
"They dynamited day and night," Lopez said. He said as many as 200 people from outside the town would come to work in the mine.
"The whole town would shake from the dynamite," Lopez said. "As many as 80 explosions a day, every day."
More than 200 activists, he said, organized sit-ins blocking the road to the mine. Twenty people always occupied the road 24 hours a day. If activists saw a stranger in town they suspected of being with the mine or an unfamiliar vehicle, they would ring the church bell, a call to activists to support the people at the sit-in. The protesters would not allow miners who had managed to enter the property to leave. Police were forced to bring them food and water. A year after the sit-ins began, the mine ceased operations in November 2015. Success, however, has not lessened the threats activists here say they face.
"People have tried to bribe us to be quiet," said Lourdes Zelaya, 43, a mother of two children, of herself and her husband. "We have been chased by cars and motorcycles trying to force us off the road. People tell us, 'Watch out. You will be killed.' At the sit-in, a police officer told my husband, 'You will be killed.' We tried to file a complaint, but the police department refused to take it."
Her 18-year-old daughter Marci said she, too, feels in danger.
"I live in fear something will happen to me because of what is happening to my parents," she said. "I'd like to help them but I don't know how. I am vulnerable. I know they can hurt my parents by doing something to me."
The ongoing threats against activists suggest that the mine owner or other business interests hope to reopen the mine, Corea said.
"As in Nueva Esperanza and all over Honduras, the mine owners will keep trying," she said. "They will not fall asleep because the mine is not operating. Of course, the problem always comes down to money. People see cash and they lose sight of things, so if money comes then we can't say what will happen."

Zhengzhou Batte domestic large-scale measuring gear pump R&D and production units, provide metering gear pump models of the smallest 1cc, the largest 3200 cc, can meet most of the extrusion production line production needs. What are the highlights of Bart's new metering gear pump used in extruder production line? The following will explain.
Batte's new metering gear pump mainly consists of three parts: power drive, fluid transmission and regulation control. It is driven by click to realize medium transmission. By adjusting and controlling the speed of motor, the flow rate of metering gear pump can be controlled in a certain range. Metrological gear pump is used in extrusion production line and extruder matching: 1. It is conducive to stable melt delivery in extruder production line, and the fluctuation of melt pressure is reduced. 2. The use of metering gear pump is beneficial to increase the production capacity of extruder production line, because the material reflux can be reduced in the process of pressure transmission from screw of extruder to gear metering pump; gear metering pump can easily establish the pressure needed by die, so as to reduce the back pressure of extruder and improve its delivery. Delivery capability. 3. Facilitating the decrease of temperature, the decrease of back pressure of extruder will reduce the residence time of medium in the machine and make the plasticizing process more stable.

So here are the pictures collection of them, which I had found in previous year(s). (Since there are waaayyyy too many, I cropped them to stick them together. All of these photos were found while browsing through the Taro thread at Asianfanatics.)
After looking at these pictures, I began to love them, even though I haven't seen their pairing in The Academy. In series, they are just characters, but in these pictures, they showed their true personality.
Here's also a mv I found, which I thought was really cute xD (this is NOT made by me):

Topaz is one of the more popular colored gemstones among retail jewelers and consumers. All colors of topaz are accepted as the birthstone for the month of November, but yellow (or yellow-orange) topaz is the most traditional and preferred. Thus, many jewelers feel that blue topaz can be a substitute for blue zircon in December. Blue topaz is, therefore, a gem for Scorpio, Sagittarius, and—in a way—Capricorn.
Although topaz comes in a variety of colors, blue is by far the most popular, perhaps because of its abundance and affordability.
Most topaz comes from Brazil, but it also is found in fairly good quantities in the United States, Mexico, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Pakistan, Russia, China, and Australia.
History and romance. The name "topaz" may have originated from the Greek topazos, meaning "to seek," possibly a vague reference to the hidden-in-the-fog Isle of Zebargad in the Red Sea. It was on Zebargad (also known as the Serpent Isle) and St. John's Isle that chrysolite (now identified as peridot) was first mined. According to George Kunz's Curious Lore of Precious Stones, the first-century Roman historian Pliny wrote that topaz derived its name "from the Island of Topazos, in the Red Sea." If that's so, then gem lovers over the centuries called peridot by the name topaz. Perhaps, as others have written, topaz—that is, real topaz—gets its name from the Sanskrit word tapas, meaning "yellow fire," probably a reference to one of topaz's imperial reddish-yellow colors.
St. Hildegard used topaz in the 12th century to cure "dimness of vision." The procedure involved soaking the stone in wine and then rubbing it over the eyes. Drinking the wine was also suggested, but only within a five-day period following the treatment. In other references, the topaz was actually ground up and then added to the wine. Blue topaz is said to help aid natural creativity.
Qualities. Topaz is commonly eye-clean, having few inclusions that one can see without magnification. It can occur in very large sizes, and good numbers of large topazes are exhibited in museums around the world. A few years ago, 21,000 carats was the benchmark for faceting the largest blue topaz. However, the record books now list faceted topazes of 40,000-plus carats, far surpassing those in fourth and fifth place.
Color variations. Topaz can be colorless, light blue, yellow, golden-yellow, orange-yellow, beige, brown, honey-brown (dark sherry), orange, orange-red, red, light green, and pink. Blue is the most popular color, and the orange-red imperial color is the most valuable.
Enhancement. What makes blue topaz even more abundant is that certain colorless topazes can be irradiated and heated to produce shades of blue. There are numerous levels of enhancement that correlate with the amount of blue saturation. Lightly colored blue topaz is called Swiss blue; moderately saturated blues are referred to as American, royal, or sky blue; and the deep saturated blue topazes are called London blue. Because there is such great demand for blue topaz, you could assume that if the topaz is still colorless, it was probably one that could not be irradiated. These are sometimes referred to as "silver topaz."
Pricing. According to The Guide, fine to extra- fine-quality blue topaz is relatively inexpensive. For example, 1-ct. to 5-ct. stones can be priced between $3 and $8 per carat. Under 20 carats, prices can top out at $12 per carat. Above 20 carats, prices tend to fall off, back down to $3 to $8 per carat, and above 50 carats, the price falls again to a range of $2 to $5 per carat. Blue is the least expensive colored topaz; colorless topaz is the least expensive of all varieties.
Care and cleaning. Topaz is the indicator stone for the hardness measurement of 8. This means that it can withstand scratching more than most gems, including the beryls and quartzes. But its toughness (i.e., resistance to breaking) has always concerned gemologists and mineralogists, because topaz exhibits "perfect" cleavage—that is, parallel to the base of the crystal structure.
However, according to Richard Homer, expert gem cutter in Ohio and owner of Gems by Design, blue topaz is tougher than most people think. True, one should consider a native-cut blue stone (or an imperial topaz) that might have the cleavage plane running in a more critical direction (perpendicular to the table). But if a professional gem cutter cuts the stone (with the cleavage plane at approximately 15 degrees off from the table), there isn't much one can do when wearing the jewel to damage it.
Bench precautions. Knowing the cleavage direction can be critical for the gem setter: Pressure down the basal plane can cleave the stone. Most cutters place the cleavage plane at a 10° to 15° angle off the table. Bench jewelers should let that measurement be their guide to safe setting pressure. (This does not hold true for imperial topaz, which is commonly cut for color rather than for crystal orientation.)

Today started with breakfast at 7:30, the children took much longer to wake up than yesterday! After breakfast it was on the coach and off to Eden Camp. Here the children toured the museum which is housed in an old POW camp from World War 2. The children learnt about many different aspects of World War 2 which will no doubt come in handy as we continue our Blitz, Bangs and Bombs topic back at school. After lunch the children visited the shop and then we made our way back to the hotel.
After a short break for diary writing we made our way to York Minster so we could take part in evensong. This is always a lovely experience and the children followed the service well with many commenting on the high quality of the singing from the choir. Unfortunately photography is not permitted during the service so you will have to ask the children to describe the inside of the Minster to you. Once again the children have received many positive comments from members of the public for their excellent behaviour and good manners today, both at Eden Camp and at the Minster. The children are currently enjoying their dinner and a quiz will follow before bed.

I'm new to the group. I was diagnosed with erosive lichen planus 4 years ago and it has been a nightmare since. Mine has progressed from my mouth to my esophagus, nose and eyes. I've seen so many doctors @ Vanderbilt and St Thomas Hospital who have no idea how to treat my illness. I've. Even advised to go to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester but I'm really not sure what doctor or doctors have experience with treating this disease. Any help would be appreciated

I was just recently diagnosed with oral lichen planus about 1 month ago. It is painful, but not overwhelming. Mostly just looking for other people with this condition to share stories with and hopefully one day share a cure with. I'm 44. So far, I've just been using a gentle toothbrush, Tom's toothpaste, no swishing just gently wash mouth with water and release. I also gently swish (hold, move around, and release not really swish) with Chlorhexidine mouthwash and that seems to help as do gently swishes with saliva substitute packs (Salivamax) overall keeping the oral mucosa clean and moist but not overstimulating the surface with friction. The specialist said it's about 10% erosive and the rest not erosive. For those who it turned in to cancer, was it immediately obvious somehow, or how did you know it had turned? The specialist gave me a steroid cream to use if the pain gets really bad, but I haven't used it yet. As another poster mentioned regarding NSAIDS, I've also used a lot of NSAIDs due to an unrelated condition and was recently tried on Sprix (nasal form of Toradol) and coincidentally (or not) that is when the lichen planus started (right after starting Sprix). So I try to minimize Advil, etc. as much as possible. My uncle had autoimmune diseases; rheumatoid arthritis and lupus and had to take treatment with Methotrexate-not sure if autoimmune disease would be genetically passed on (or a predisposition for). Happy New Year to all and look forward to hearing from everyone.

Hello @cheryl5778, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Thank you for sharing what helps you treat oral lichen planus and thank you for joining this community. I'm tagging @jshdma @cmtg @skaryna @riverqueen1305, and @alpaca, as they may also be able to share more insights about their experiences with LP.
Here is some information from Mayo Clinic about oral LP: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/oral-lichen-planus/symptoms-causes/syc-20350869

Are you able to share a little more about how you were diagnosed?
@cheryl5778 My lichen planus turned to cancer a few years after it had settled into one erosive lesion on the side of the tongue. Everyone thought it was standard OLP but looking back, I wonder if it was cancerous or precancerous all the time. It had been a long time since I had the lacy, stripy lichen planus. That one isolated and painful lesion should have been biopsied much sooner.
I don't know about NSAIDS but I do remember I associated them with a flare up and the development of thrush. I haven't had lichen planus since the cancer (11 years now) and NSAIDS don't seem to harm me at all.
Sounds as if you are doing an excellent job of looking after your mouth!

I am shocked at all the oral cancer from folks with Lichen Planus. Everything I have read is there is a very small chance of oral or vaginal cancer from LP or LP Scerlosous. I have had both for last11 years and have both checked every three months. Everything has calmed down after a very long bout.

I used that too but then my insurance decided it was a compound and no longer would cover it . I couldn't afford to just pay for it so had to stop using it ….I have had this condition for fourteen years now without any treatment. I also have bladder cancer. My gums have all deteriorated from this condition and i am getting cavities in all my roots and my teeth are loosening. No one (dentists) knows how to treat erosive oral lichen planus . They have little knowledge on it and dont really care about your quality of life. bottom line

Sorry to hear this. Have you tried swishing with coconut oil? It might give you some relief, especially before eating. My oral surgeon ordered Lidex gel for me to use. It does burn because it's not made for use in mouth but it's a steroid so may be an option. I have erosive lesions all the time. I had started using melatonin a few months ago & it seemed to have improved. For about 6 weeks I got some relief. It's tolerable for now. I think you can get straight dexamethasone as a prescription without being compounded if a doc will order it. Best to you
I have tried everything under the sun almost which I listed on my very first post to this group. Check it out. Right now I'm using a DIY mixture of coconut oil & aloe Vera & stir in some Lidex steroid gel. Since the landscape of the tissue in the mouth is now different, I use coconut oil to cut down on friction & rubbing as source of pain & potential flare up.

Oral steroids, Prednisone (?) work really well but of course it is not good to take long term. I had it for relief of pain during an overseas trip.
Liked by John, Volunteer Mentor, lioness
I was on a small dose of prednisone for a year that didn't help one bit. Then got osteopenia in lower spine from it. I've taken a Medrol dosepak several times. I think initially I got some minor relief. Stopping the NSAID MOBIC made all the difference in the world. Have a lot less pain now.

Just another Micra with the disguised Interiors
Pros : Stylish finishing, good looks, pleasing interiors and last but not the least it bags the best of French engineering
Cons : Looks are very similar to Nissan's Micra and cost is pretty exorbitant for the offerings
have always been a great admirer of French engineering. Skoda is doing marvelous in our economy and with the advent of world class technology they are turning gear of the Indian Automobile Industry. Renault is trying rigorously to firmly establish in the Indian market they started with Mahindra. Logan was the debut model and since then they have been fighting for their share. Now they have come up with an independent identity "Pulse". Its success is yet to be seen but the initial response is exhilarating.
Pulse at the very first glance reminds me of Nissan's Micra but a closer look gives an entirely different feel. It looks much sharper and stylish than the nearest cousin. Front grill is more elegant and the overall exteriors are if not refreshing, is on the better side portraying a best combination of the available technology. Same color door panels and indicator mounted side glasses is just another feature.
Interiors are redesigned and are typical of the French classy vehicles. Amply spacious front with stylish instrument cluster and all the modern amenities assembled in a single piece. Back is sufficiently spaced with good legroom and boot space provided is sufficient enough for a small family. I love the driving aspect of the vehicles; it is as soft as butter and gear shift is very smooth and firm. Car turns like rocket and even driving at 140 is a matter of no concern. It's a new car and I am not well versed with the after sales service of Renault but dealer's confidence has boosted my trust further. It is quite aggressively priced but I still love to bag it as my new ride.

Since air conditioning products are becoming very in demand these days, a lot of air conditioning companies consider making some innovations on their air conditioners. This is through incorporating amazing high-tech features. They also make use of several technologies in manufacturing air conditioners in order to attract a number of possible customers. Good example of these technologies is the Inverter Technology.
What is an Inverter Technology?
For sure, you already heard about Inverter Technology. Do you already know what this technology means? Well actually, Inverter Technology is the latest technology development intended for the compressors of the electro motors of a number of machines or appliances just like air conditioners. With the use of this particular technology, the compressor motor's speed can be controlled. This can also help in regulating the temperature of the air conditioners. Since the speed of the compressor motor is controlled and the temperature of regulated, there is no way you cannot save from your electricity consumption.
Options for Air Conditioners with Inverter Technology
These days, there are so many companies who are trying to incorporate Inverter Technology in their air conditioning products. Even so, not all of them are very successful in this particular endeavor. Two of the extremely famous and reputable companies that find success in incorporating Inverter Technology in their air conditioning products are the Fujitsu and the Daikin.
Fujitsu is actually a multinational information technology specializing in equipment and services. Fujitsu Ltd. or the simply called "Fujitsu" can be found in Tokyo, Japan. In terms of company revenues, Fujitsu is considered to be in the 3rd place in the world of IT services. The company is very proud of the fact that they are one of the leading manufacturers of the ever in demand air conditioners that have Inverter Technology.
Daikin is another leading company when it comes to manufacturing air conditioners with Inverter Technology. Daikin Industries Ltd. is also a Japanese multinational company that has its headquarters in Osaka, Japan. Such company was founded on October 25, 1924 by the brilliant mind of Akira Yamada. The company is importing its products to the other parts of the world like Australia, South America, North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, India, and China. Daikin also becomes famous because of its great invention, which are the Split System Air Conditioner and the Variable Refrigerant Flow air conditioners.
In term of people's choice, a lot of homeowners prefer buying those air conditioners with Inverter Technology from Fujitsu. Why is it so? It is simply because Fujitsu air conditioners are much cheaper compared to the ones manufactured by Daikin. You will only spend less than $1500. Isn't that affordable enough? It surely is. Even so, this does not mean that there are only few people who prefer buying in wall air conditioners.
Without a doubt, these two companies that manufacture air conditioners that have Inverter Technology. If you want to save some electrical energy and money from your electricity bills every month, then you have to look for air conditioners manufactured by them. You will surely not regret your decision.
Power Saving Air Conditioning Modes
With the great innovations embraced by the world today, air conditioners are manufactured in a way that all homeowners will love buying and using them. They are intentionally made to have several amazing high-tech features. The best part is, these amazing features can help homeowners save a considerable amount of money. Do you know how?
Some of these amazing features of best mini-split ductless air conditioning system are the different power saving modes. Since you can save electrical power with these modes, you can then see great reduction on your monthly electricity bill for sure. Hence, what are these power-saving modes packed in the modern-day air conditioners? Well, refer below to find out:
Fan Mode
Setting the air conditioner in a fan mode is one way of reducing your electricity consumption while still using your air conditioner appliance at home. How can you save electricity from this mode then? Well, the fact that the compressor is switched off in this mode is enough reason. Just in case you don't know, the compressor of the air conditioner is the main reason why you can have bigger electricity consumption. Even so, there will be no cooling effects in this mode. Thus, instead of using the air conditioner, using ceiling fan is much better.
Cool Mode
This mode is actually the normal setting of an air conditioner. The cooling effects here will depend on the temperature you have set. The consumption of energy will also depend on the temperature. If you want to save energy while still feeling a comfortable cooling effect, you can set your air conditioner in a thermal temperature of 25 degree centigrade.
Dry Mode
It is just normal to experience annoying humidity in the air which can cause recurring mold growth in your home, that's why you might also need to consider a best air purifier for mold and viruses. During monsoons, this humidity can surely be experienced most especially if you are living near the sea. In order to save energy while removing the annoying humidity in the air, it will be helpful of you will set your air conditioner in the dry mode. The compressor will function here, but only in a few cycles of the fan; only enough to remove the annoying humidity.
Sleep Mode
During sleep mode, the degree of temperature of the air conditioner will increase by one every single hour, until it increases by 2 degrees. So, how can you save in this air conditioning mode then? Well, the answer is very simple. As the temperature increases, the energy consumption also becomes lesser. This is how you can save electricity in sleep mode.
These are just some of the power saving modes that you can encounter in air conditioning appliances. It will actually depend on the brand and type of air conditioner that you own at home. Most importantly, it will depend on you whether you want to save energy and save money from your electricity bills in the long run.
If you are practical enough as a homeowner, you would look for these power saving modes before investing on air conditioners. But if you are wealthy enough, then you can choose whatever air conditioner you want without further thinking about it.

About the project
Photo gallery
Photography is a way to keep track of what we saw during our trips. Snow mountains and red rocks, deserts and primeval forests, glaciers and waterfalls, old castles and cities, oceans and wildlife...
New galleries
The Unated States of America... Vast country with all climatic zones and any type of terrains. Excellent roads lead to the best in the world national parks. A room in the roadside motel looks like 34* in Europe, hotels are cheap, rent-a-car costs nothing but cars are large. Gas is cheap like in Russia, and unlimited mileage everywhere everything for your travel!
Europe is situated so close to us that we usually prefer to fly for 23 days only to selected city. A long trip to Europe by car from Moscow is a challenge for us. It is too close, we can visit it any time, so we leave aside, it is a pity...
Our first visit to real Asia was to Japan... The country of the absolutely another culture with long history and impressive nature. The next Asian destination was Bhutan small kingdom between India and China.
Distant voyages
Cape Horn, Strait of Magellan, Antarctica, Cape of Good Hope, Bering Strait... Our childhood dreams inspired by the books about great travels...

17 More Things Ive Noticed Along the Way So Far
Three areas of life in which we get very little training, yet we all seem to have a strong opinion on: marriage, parenting and money.
When all is said and done, it really is much simpler to succeed than to fail.
Two A's for improving your marriage: awareness and anticipation. Awareness of how you are feeling -- anticipation of how your spouse might be feeling.
Today's choices are tomorrow's character.
In other countries people die for the right to vote. Our country may die someday because so many don't care to vote.
There are many books written on how to deal with difficult people. But do we ever pause to consider the shocking possibility that we might be someone's "difficult person"?
Let me see if I have this right: The father of one hockey player beats to death the father of another hockey player because a kid's game was getting too violent? The scary thing is that kind of thinking is not as rare as we might like to believe.
Thousands of years from now, when they dig up our civilization, they will wonder about this culture that seemed to worship boxes. Sound strange? I'm talking about the big box that you find the family-room furniture arranged around, and the little boxes found in several other rooms: the TV set. Watching other people living is not living.
Many people misread a very important part of the Declaration of Independence. We don't have the right to happiness, we have the right to the pursuit of happiness. Kind of goes against the notion that we are entitled by just showing up.
The best way to make a problem worse is to attempt to solve it with the same kind of thinking that created the problem.
You can accomplish much more than you can't.
If you don't want your children to say it, do it or think it, you had better not say it, do it or think it.
Two of the most useless words are "if only." Two cures for the "if onlys" are to do the necessary things today that eliminate the possibility of "if only" tomorrow. It's also important to remember that what might have been is not necessarily what would have been.
Best way to communicate poorly -- focus on making yourself understood first. Best way to communicate well -- focus on understanding the other person first.
Life has its moments of unexpected blessings out of unexpected problems. Our curious little son bent down to pick up a small cactus in the parking-lot median. As I placed him in the car seat, with him wailing and me wondering how to get the thorns out, and how to explain it to my wife, up walks his pediatrician, who expertly removes the thorns.
Our children can be wonderfully humbling mirrors. After a prolonged temper tantrum resulted in our son missing out on a fun event, I actually heard this coming out of my mouth: "When you decide to stay angry you can miss out on a lot of good stuff."
Best quote I've heard lately, from Pastor Rick Warren: "If you are burning the candle at both ends, you may not be as bright as you think you are."

Elements of Change

Three Fs and a Challenge
It's no secret that life is a tricky animal to understand and it's even harder to tame it so that it delivers what you want. But from my work in the world of personal development I've figured out three simple things that can transform any situation, any problem, any issue.
Trust the "System" - It Works!

Quick takes: Singapore inflation falls to the lowest in almost 30 years
SINGAPORE'S consumer price index (CPI) fell 1.6 per cent in May compared to a year ago, after a 0.5 per cent slide in April.
The median in a Reuters survey was for a decline of 0.8 per cent in May.
Here are some economists' comments:
DBS senior economist Irvin Seah:
"Inflation surprised on the downside. The headline CPI inflation registered -1.6 per cent year-on-year ( YoY) in May. This is significantly lower than market expectations of -0.8 per cent and also marks the lowest inflation reading in almost 30 years. . . Housing and utilities as well as transport remained the key factors behind the decline. The former was down by 6.4 per cent while the latter fell by 5.7 per cent versus the same period last year.
"Low oil prices are certainly one of the main reasons for the negative inflation. But the slowdown in growth momentum and the impact of earlier macro-prudential measures on housing and car purchases continue to weigh down the headline number. The excess supply in housing stock and its associated downward pressure on rentals indicate that the housing CPI index may continue to fall.
"The easing in car loan regulations recently has brought about increase in car purchases and consequently, upward adjustments in COE premiums. That in turn, is expected to lift the private transport CPI index, given the strong influence of COE premiums on the index. Note that private transport CPI accounts for 11.5 per cent of the overall CPI basket. That's a significant portion but its impact will most likely be felt from June onwards.
"The latest CPI inflation reading is a sharp downward spike, which will lower the trajectory of the inflation significantly. We had earlier projected inflation to revert to positive territory by the third quarter but with this latest number, these expectations will have to be pushed back to the tail-end of the year or to early 2017. Plainly, there is downside risk to our full year inflation forecast of -0.2 per cent.
"Separately, the latest inflation number has reaffirmed a point we made earlier. That is, every economic downturn over the past decades has been juxtaposed with a similar trough in inflation. . . So, the downside risk on inflation may well be a mirror image of the risk to growth."
OCBC Bank's head of treasury research & strategy, Selena Ling:
"This is the biggest on-year decline in the headline CPI since August 1986 (-2.5 per cent YoY) and the sharpest on-month contraction since April 2013 (-1.5 per cent mom nsa). Note there were timing effects of the disbursement of S&CC rebates which had contributed to a sharp drop in the cost of housing maintenance and repairs, even though actual and imputed rentals were largely stable. The other segments that saw disinflationary pressures in May were clothing & footwear (-0.3 per cent YoY) and communication (-0.1 per cent YoY).
"We do not anticipate that the disinflationary pressures will dissipate significantly for the headline inflation prints in the coming months. While COE premiums appear to have bottomed around February and had climbed after the recent easing of auto loan measures, they are still currently below the 2H15 average. Crude oil prices are also currently hovering just under the US$50 per barrel handle, which are close to the 2H15 average.
"MAS core inflation accelerated from +0.8 per cent YoY in April to +1.0 per cent YoY in May, the fastest pace since March 2015. This was led by a pickup in services inflation as the reduction in foreign domestic worker concessionary levy since May 2015 faded.
"MTI-MAS reiterated that MAS core inflation is still expected to pick up gradually over the course of the year, albeit at a mild pace given the weak external price outlook, subdued economic growth prospects and a reduction in labour market tightness. This suggests that the projected MAS core inflation trajectory will continue to overshadow the negative headline CPI prints in the consideration of the appropriate monetary policy stance.
"Our 2016 forecast for headline and core inflation stand at -0.4 per cent and +1.0 per cent YoY. The official forecasts for headline inflation are at -1.0-0.0 per cent and core inflation in the lower half of the 0.5-1.5 per cent YoY. For the first five months of 2016, headline CPI have slipped by 0.9 per cent YoY, whereas MAS core inflation rose by 0.6 per cent YoY for the same period."

text: Kyll.Ing. #1 Posted August 20, 2018 By now, I guess most of you have noticed how ASoIaF has built up a considerable number of plot lines, and that the difficulty of bringing a satisfactory ending to them is making progress on the series frustratingly slow. So... how about taking a few shortcuts? For me, the moment when I realized this series wasn't messing around came with the sudden beheading of Ned Stark. Until then, he had been the apparent protagonist of the series, and after his best friend - the king - died, he got himself into trouble with the successors to the throne. You all know that story. How would Eddard get out of that sticky situation? In two pieces, it turned out. Readers and show viewers (I was among the latter, but picked up the books shortly after finishing the first season) were expecting to follow Ned and his struggles for several more seasons. Instead, he was unceremoniously killed off. Likewise, Joffrey is built up as a major antagonist, but dies mid-action, mid-chapter, mid-book. Robb Stark never got to conquer back his ancestral lands, or raise a child, or avenge his father. The series has a history of abruptly ending character arcs contrary to all reader expectations, and instead plays on the aftermath of their sudden ends. And then it got me thinking: Can the same be done to entire plot lines? Can entire arcs be aborted as quickly as Ned's, invalidating all fan theories on their fates, but instead exploring what the consequences of the sudden abort would be? So for a fun little exercise, imagine GRRM phoned you, his most loyal fan, and asked you to reduce the number of plot lines in the series as quickly and cleanly as possible. Find ways to simply end character arcs without hundreds of pages of fuss. Defy some expectations, create interesting aftermaths. Myself, the first thing I would do would be to make the Others disappear without ever being heard from again. Right now, Jon Snow and the Night's Watch have a bit of a Cassandra role, being the only people aware of a greater threat to Westeros while everybody else is squabbling and in-fighting. For once, it would be interesting to see a Cassandra being plain wrong. Have them sit there on the edge of the world, paranoid, eyes toward a desolate North fearing a foe that will never come, and which never existed in the first place. Fantasy stories about external threats coming from abroad to destroy everything are a dime a dozen. The strong suit of ASoIaF is showing the in-fighting between humans, and people's constant struggle for a piece of the pie. Stick to that, leave out the Dark Evil Forces of Darkness and Evil plotline. Another strong suit of the series is showing first-hand how details are embellished to the unrecognizable as a story is passed from person to person. Have that include the tale of the Long Night and the Others. UnJon could sit on the wall until he's frozen into it, muttering "they will come, they will come" while everybody else minds their own business and the saga is concluded as a tale of the human soul fighting itself, or however that old GRRM quote goes. Another: Have Cersei trust her prophecy so blindly that something unrelated kills her instead. Imagine her in the Red Keep, smug in the knowledge she's gotten her little brothers out of the way, her children still alive, any younger and more beautiful queens safely locked away, things going well all things considered, except that her wine flagons run empty much sooner than she'd like. Overall, she's got the prophecy well figured out, seeing no reason to worry unless a little brother pops by to strangle her. One morning, she leaves her chamber, ready to go down for her daily stint of ruling Westeros, when she suddenly stumbles down a staircase in a drunken stupour. The last thought that runs through her head is "Wait, what about the prophec-" before it smashes against the floor. And such ended the rule of Cersei, first of her name, and it turns out Maggy the Frog was a hack who made one lucky guess with regards to the fate of Melara Hetherspoon. Who was the valonqar or the younger, more beautiful queen? Nobody, it was all irrelevant. So, how would you conclude complex storylines in a page and a half? It's okay to be anticlimactic, a good writer can get really enjoyable reads out of a sudden anticlimax. I've got a few more ideas, but for now I'd like others to give their takes. Go ahead, cut the knots! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ALBANY — A state appeals court has upheld the city's 2010 firing of a police sergeant for not intervening to stop a drunk, off-duty detective from leaving a Bethlehem supermarket parking lot and then misleading his superiors about the encounter.
A state arbitrator found Peter J. McKenna, who was on duty at the time, guilty of nine misconduct charges leveled against him by the police department in the wake of January 2009 incident involving former Albany Detective George McNally.
McKenna was driving a marked police SUV when he followed McNally, who was off-duty and drunk, into neighboring Bethlehem following a hit-and-run crash McNally had fled in Albany.
The sergeant admitted confronting McNally outside a Hannaford grocery store there but did not arrest him or notify Bethlehem police that the suspected drunken detective was getting back behind the wheel and driving away.
The union that represented McKenna, the Albany Police Supervisors Association, appealed the arbitrator's decision in state Supreme Court, arguing that McKenna did not have the authority to stop McNally outside the city of Albany and that blocking his escape would have violated the Albany Police Department's policy on police pursuits.
Acting state Supreme Court Justice Richard Platkin disagreed in July, upholding the arbitrator's decision, prompting the union to appeal the case to the Appellate Division of state Supreme Court.
On Thursday, the five-judge appellate panel unanimously affirmed Platkin's ruling, finding that no pursuit was in progress when McKenna encountered McNally and there was no reason to believe there would be one. The judges went further, saying McKenna "should have attempted to stop McNally ... despite the fact that they were then located in an adjoining jurisdiction."
Attorney Peter Lynch, who represented McKenna and the union, declined to comment on whether they would seek leave to take the case to the state's highest court, the Court of Appeals.
"The statute is very clear," Lynch said. "He did not have the legal authority to stop McNally."
McKenna, who worked for the city for 18 years, now is a part-time patrolman in the town of Coeymans. Coeymans Police Chief Gregory Darlington said McKenna has been employed there about a month.
McNally pleaded guilty in August 2009 to misdemeanor driving while intoxicated and reckless driving. He retired from the department as police brass moved to fire him.
