Although a bright indirect location is great, a few hours of morning or evening sun is excellent to maintain quality growth. Never situate an Oxalis in a dark location with minimal light, as root rot and elongated phototropism will quickly take over. In terms of the ideal location around the home, a few metres within a north, east or west-facing window, or in a semi-shaded conservatory are best. Provide a sun-filled location with a few hours of morning or evening sun to counteract the darker days and longer nights.
Oxalis are straightforward to cultivate, as long as you water them when they need it. During the growing period, keep the soil relatively moist, never allowing persistent droughts to take over. During the autumn and winter months, water liberally (i.e. loosely, but not too infrequent) and avoid over-watering during its dormancy period. The plant will need a few months to rest after the fierce growing period, so overloading it with soggy soil will result in root rot. Under-watering symptoms include stunted or unreliable growth and leaf loss; these issues are usually due to either too much heat/sunlight, being potbound, transplant shock (similar symptoms to under-watering) or forgetfulness. Alternatively, over-watering symptoms include rapidly yellowing leaves, zero growth and plant death; avoid water-logging and persistent soggy soil to eliminate the chance of disease. Always keep in mind that Oxalis are in fact alpines, whereby they thrive in bright, dry-ish locations with good air circulation.
Introduce a humidity tray whilst the heaters are operating to provide and maintain a stable level of humidity around the plant. Dry air will cause nothing but grief in the likes of brown leaf tips and poor health over this delicate time.
Supplement every four waters during the growing period, reducing this to every six in the autumn and winter. Never use a 'ready to pour' fertiliser into the soil without saturating the soil beforehand as it'll burn the roots. It's recommended to use 'Houseplant' feed as it provides the best blend of essential nutrients for quality growth; however, 'General-Plant' food at half recommended strength will do fine, too. Prolong the flowering period by opting for a potassium-based feed during the blooming process; tomato feed or 'Miracle-Gro' are the two to look out for.
Established specimens (2yrs +) will easily bloom during late spring if its previous dormancy period has been served well in the winter. As ukhouseplants been challenged many times on this subject, we've created an acronym to help you through this process - SHORT. The combination of drying soil, cooler temperatures and dark nights will contribute to better flowers in the following season, along with a much needed rest.
The following steps must be taken from autumn to winter, to provide the best possible dormancy period.
Provide a bright location with a splash of winter sun. Darker settings will significantly reduce the chance of flowers once the spring returns.
Reduce waters so that the soil's majority becomes dry for the prevention of root rot and replication its dormancy period.
One or two feeds using a 'Houseplant' fertiliser is all that is needed for supplementation, as too nutritious soil may hinder the chance of blooms later next year.
This one is a reminder to reduce everything - especially the temperature.
This is the most significant step; reduce the temperature down by around 5℃ compared to the summertime or place in a room that's around 15℃ (59℉). The drop in temperature should ideally last until the inflorescence finishes blooming, although it can still be transferred into the main house as long as it sits on a pebble tray. You'll be at a significant disadvantage if the ambient temperature is kept constant throughout the year, as Oxalis will only respond with flowers in cooled environments. Never exceed the minimum temperature as it could lead to plant death or yellowed foliage at a bare minimum.
|Time of Year
|Care Requirements
|January & February
|Resting/Dormancy Period. Reduce irrigations and fertilisation.
|End of Resting/Dormancy Period. Increase waters and feed using a nitrogen-based fertiliser at monthly intervals.
|Pre-Flowering Period. Use a potassium-based feed fortnightly during this period - a good example of this is tomato feed. Water once the top of the soil dries out.
|May & June
|Flowering Period. Maintain moist soil and fortnightly potassium-based feeds.
|End of the Flowering Period. Gradually decrease both water and fertiliser intake in the soil. Remove spent flowers as they wilt.
|August & September
|Water once the top third of the soil dries out. Supplement using houseplant feed or a general plant fertiliser, at monthly intervals.
|October - December
|Resting/Dormancy Period. Reduce irrigations and fertilisation. During the month of December, consider a hard-prune whereby all of the foliage is cut back to the soil line. Keep reading to learn more.
N.B. - This step only needs to be performed every few years.
If the foliage begins to decline from late autumn, you may want to think about undergoing a hard-prune. This is where all of the foliage is cut back just above the soil line, to promote a better quality of leaves in the spring. Not only will it reward you with a fresh batch of purpleness, but it'll also eliminate any pests (for example Spider Mite) that fester in the cubbyholes of the prior foliage. Have a peak at the last image below, to get a grasp of what a bare Oxalis tuber looks like. Cut the leaves' petioles around an inch from the tuber and then remove them by hand once they brown over.
This is also the perfect time to separate the clump of tubers into their own pots. Not only will the chance of transplant shock be at its lowest, but you also won't run the risk of damaging its delicate leaves. Scroll down to 'Propagation' for more info!
Situate the potted tuber in a cool, bright location with nighttime temperatures of 15℃ (59°F). Keep the soil on the dry side to life, allowing it to half-dry out in between waters. New foliage will develop in early spring, signalling the start of the new growing season. If yours begin to produce flowers and no foliage, keep pricking the flower stalks off to preserve its energy for the new leaves.
Over-watering is the biggest killer amongst Oxalis. They mustn't endure extended periods of soggy soil, or water-logging as both will quickly lead to tuber/root rot. If you're worried about over-watering, provide a bright, warm location that offers an hour or two of off-peak direct sunlight to dry out the soil quicker. Vertically stab the soil using a chopstick twice a year in several places to improve oxygen-flow around the roots, but be sure to refill the holes before another water.
When an Oxalis is severely dehydrated, most of its leaves will crisp-up and fall off - leaving you with a bare pot. Although it may spell the end of juvenile plantlets, there may still be light at the end of the tunnel for more established specimens. If its tubers are still plump without any signs of retraction, prune-away any seriously affected leaves and contain the plant (with its pot) in a transparent bag. Keep the soil continually moist, providing a good level of indirect light and temperatures above 15°C (59°F). Remove the bag every few days for around an hour to allow a fresh batch of air to circulate the tubers and soil. After a few weeks, new life will form in the nodal junctions on the tips, signalling the start of its recovery process. Maintain a sealed environment for the following fortnight until you feel it's necessary to release it back into the open air. For the prevention of environmental shock, be sure to introduce a humidity tray for higher levels of atmospheric moisture around the plant. Not only will this ease the specimen back into normal functioning life, but it'll also reduce the rate of transpiration (water-loss in the leaves), and therefore downplay the risk of dehydration and further decline.
Mould developing on the soil means two things - too little light and over-watering. Despite the harmlessness of the mould, it'll prove unsightly to most gardeners and is therefore removed once known. To remove, replace the top two inches of the soil for a fresh batch of houseplant compost. Either increase the amount of light received (no direct sunlight for the first few weeks to prevent environmental shock) or decrease the frequency of waters slightly. If the mould is accompanied by yellowing lower leaves, you may also have a case of root rot.
Due to the Oxalis' sensitivity to chemicals, Leaf Shine shouldn't be used to improve the appearance of the foliage, and instead should be cleaned using warm soapy water. Failure to do so may cause yellowed, mottled spots that cannot be undone.
Spider Mites are small, near-transparent critters, that'll slowly suck out the chlorophyll out of the leaves. Have a check under the leaves, most notably along the midrib, for small webs and gritty yellow bumps. Click here to read our article about the eradicating Spider Mites, along with some extra tips that you may not find elsewhere!
Too low humidity can cause browning leaf tips with yellow halos. Although this won't kill your specimen, you may want to increase the local moisture to prevent the new growth from adopting these symptoms. Mist or rinse the foliage from time to time and create a humidity tray whilst the heaters are active to create a stable environment for your specimen.
Stunted or slowed growth during spring or summer can usually be blamed on too much sunlight or not enough water, but will commonly go hand in hand. Persistent droughts will cause yellowing leaves, stunted growth and foliage decline. If the soil is constantly dry and it doesn't receive direct sunlight, it may just be pot bound. Click on this link for more information about how to perform the perfect transplantation.
Pink, green or reddish leaves are normal behaviour for Oxalis. Both at the start and end of the leaf's cycle, it should adopt a pink or reddish tone to it; simply remove the dying leaf to improve the growing conditions and overall appearance of the plant.
A steady decline in leaves is caused by improper cultivation during the spring or summer unless it's during the colder months of the year, which is wholly natural. To dig deeper of its cause, think about your watering habits, where it's located in the house and what time of year you're currently serving. The plant's natural response to periods of droughts is to drop some of its foliage; fewer amounts of leaves will result in a reduced rate of photosynthesis and transpiration (water loss via the leaf).
Over-watering could also cause issues, as the roots won't be able to breathe due to the lack of oxygen in the soil. If you feel that either of these issues are to blame, be sure to rectify them quickly, as a continuation of your current watering habits will result in further decline.
Furthermore, situating it in a shady location will cause issues, too. If it's too dark to read a newspaper, it'll be too dark for an Oxalis, also. Increase the amount of light received slowly over the next week or so to reduce the severity of environmental shock, until the plant receives an hour of off-peak sunlight.
The final reason could be because of its dormancy period, served over the autumn and winter months. If the leaves have steadily declined over the last few months, it could be to do with the plant's response to a much-needed resting period. This is completely normal, and in some cases, all of the leaves may drop off. Simply keep the soil on the drier side until new growth appears in the early spring.
The O. triangularis is part of the Oxalidaceae family, which consists of 570 species, largely originating from South America. The name, Oxalis, derives from the organic compound (oxalic acid) found within its leaves and stems. The species was first described by Augustin Prouvençal de Saint-Hilaire in 1825, during a voyage to Central America. The leaves can be eaten raw or cooked and sport an acidic taste when eaten; however, you must be highly cautious as it can cause irritations for sensitive people.
Did You Know that like the Mimosa pudica, Oxalis are nyctinastic meaning that the leaves will move in concordance to the light levels. A slight difference between the two is that this species is actually bulbous, whereby the tubers can be divided during a transplant (every two or three years). For the UK, it's much harder to find these plants in garden centres, so the best bet would be to search the internet. If you're interested in keeping the Oxalis for years, have a read through the section above, as this will have lots of information about the much-needed period.
H1b (Hardiness Zone 12) - Can be grown outdoors during the summer in a sheltered location with temperatures above 12℃ (54℉), but is fine to remain indoors, too. If you decide to bring this plant outdoors, don't allow it to endure more than an hour of direct sunlight a day as it may result in sun-scorch and dehydration. Regularly keep an eye out for pests, especially when re-introducing it back indoors.
Up to 0.5m in both height and width. The ultimate height will take between 3 - 5 years to achieve, when quality dormancy periods are served in winter.
Remove yellow or dying leaves, and plant debris to encourage better-growing conditions. While pruning, always use clean scissors or shears to reduce the chance of bacterial and fungal diseases. Never cut through yellowed tissue as this may cause further damage in the likes of diseases or bacterial infections. Remember to make clean incisions as too-damaged wounds may shock the plant, causing weakened growth and a decline in health.
Via Seed or Tuber Division.
Tuber Division (Easy) is best performed during the dormancy period in the winter months. Of course, you can still propagate in the spring or summer, but you'll run the risk of transplant shock or damaging the delicate leaves.
Once the tubers are around 3cm in length, propagation can begin - have a look at the image below to see where to divide them.
Take the plant out of its pot and place your fingers in between the two tubers; soil may have to be removed to get a better grip. Gently break them apart with a few sections of separate root systems. Place the new tuber around 1cm (0.4 inches) deep in a well-draining potting mix, much similar to the original soil, and maintain the same care routines. 'Houseplant' compost is acceptable, or you can make your own via using multipurpose compost with grit or perlite. Be sure not to use a pot that is too big; a ratio of roots-soil that much leans towards the latter will cause root rot. Keep the potted tuber in a bright, indirect location with slightly cooler temperatures - new shoots should appear in early spring, signalling the start of the new growing season.
The flowers open in succession over of the course of spring and summer, and will typically sport a pink or white appearance. Each flower can last up to three to five days, folding up at night to prevent the pollen being blown away in high winds. To get an Oxalis to flower annually, a good dormancy period must be served over the autumn and winter months with cooler temperatures and drying soil.
Repot every three years in the spring, using a 'Houseplant' labelled compost and the next sized pot with adequate drainage; this is the perfect time to separate the tubers into separate specimens. Hydrate the plant 24hrs before tinkering with the roots to prevent the risk of transplant shock. For those that are situated in a darker location, add a thin layer of small grit in the pot's base to improve drainage and downplay over-watering. Click here for a detailed step-by-step guide on transplantation, or via this link to learn about repotting with root rot.
Book a 1-to-1 video call with Joe Bagley if you'd like a personal guide to repotting your houseplant. This will include recommending the right branded-compost and pot size, followed by a live video call whilst you transplant the specimen for step-by-step guidance and answer any further questions!
Keep an eye out for mealybugs, aphids, spider mites, thrips, blackfly, vine weevils & root mealybugs that'll locate themselves in the cubbyholes and undersides of the leaves, with the exception of the latter two in the soil. Common diseases associated with Oxalis are root or tuber rot, leaf-spot disease, botrytis, powdery mildew & southern blight - click here to learn more about these issues.
This plant is classified as poisonous when large quantities are eaten - keep away from pets and children who have tendencies to eat things. If parts of the plants are eaten, vomiting, nausea and a loss of appetite could occur, but is generally not considered highly toxic.

Why do Plants have flowers?
They have tender petals, attractive colour and design, along with a pleasant smell. Some even store a drop of sweet nectar.
All this effort is merely to attract the pollinators. Bees, butterflies and a few other creatures positively respond.
What do the plants get from Bees and Butterflies?
Fig.1 Dressing up for reproduction.
Reproduction or the proliferation and the continuation of a species is the primary concern of every organism. It is possible for most plants to multiply by vegetative propagation. There are a few short comings in this method. Cloned varieties are true to the original but these lack variety or differentiation. Genetic variation is an essential factor for natural selection.
Parts of a Flower
A flower normally has the following parts in the form of whorls attached to the peduncle.( flower stalk)
Fig.2 Parts of a normal dicot flower.
Fig.3 A section of a dicot flower.
Purpose of Flowerin
The purpose of flowering is to produce seeds, which will give rise to a progeny which would be slightly different from the mother plant. In higher plants (angiosperms) this is achieved during the flowering stage. Flowers produce sex cells called gametes. The antherlobes in the stamen produce pollen by reduction division. (meiosis) The ovaries produce egg cells called ovules by the same kind of division. These gametes will have half the number of chromosomes as that of the parent plant. During fertilization the chromosomes of these two gametes fuse and produce a zygote. This becomes the seed.
Fig. 4 Life cycle of a flowering plant.
The sections with a touch of blue are included in the diploid stage, which is also called the sporophyte. Pollen grains and the ovules, marked in red consist of the Haploid stage, which is also called the gemetophyte stage. They are produced as a result of meiosis.
Life cycle of a Non flowering Plant - Fern
Take a mature fern leaf and place it on your hand . Press hard. You will get an imprint with a kind of dust. These are the spores from the under surface of the leaf. They are formed in the sporangia. When they get blown off and settle down in a moist field they grow into a heart shaped structure called a 'thallus'. When this matures it produces the gametes by meiosis. The male gametes which are called sperms swim to meet a parent thallus with a mature egg cell and fuses with it. Thus a zygote is produced. The new fern plant grows from this zygote.
Fig 5 Life cycle of a Fern.
In the diagram the diploid stage is shown by blue while the haploid stage is in red.

A group of friends, some of whom are cancer survivors, formed and bonded over their shared mission to raise awareness and funding to support women with breast cancer. Since 2006 they've conditioned together, preparing to walk 39 miles over two days at Avon sponsored breast cancer walks. When Avon abruptly canceled their event in January 2018 just one week before the scheduled walk date, Bahar Tolu and her group of walkers were devastated. Instead of giving up on fundraising for breast cancer, they came up with a plan to create their own nonprofit cancer initiative called Walk Strong Bay Area (WSBA).
The group of friends now serve on WSBA's board. Darlene Heath is president, Bahar Tolu is treasurer, Gary Egan is secretary, and Barbara Ranes, Monica Hernandez, Donna McCurdy and Patty Herrera are in advisory roles. These dedicated folks, along with the assistance of friends and family, made the creation of the nonprofit possible, and in particular, Mr. Heath, a partner at a Palo Alto law firm, completed the paperwork to establish WSBA's 501c status in May 2018. The group's mission is as follows, "Walk Strong Bay Area partners with community nonprofit breast cancer health organizations that provide support to people from diagnosis to recovery, one step at a time."
WSBA organized its first walk which took place in September 2018 and raised over $35,000. The funds benefited the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFGH) Cancer Center to help support projects and assist in the care of cancer patients. WSBA quickly got into the swing of meeting the requirements of a nonprofit and went to work organizing fun fundraising events to raise additional funding. They used their networks to recruit assistance with fundraising through other organizations such as Polka Dot Powerhouse San Mateo. WSBA is continually looking for charities to support their cause and found Bay Area Cancer Connections (BACC), a nonprofit that supports anyone affected by breast or ovarian cancer with personalized services that inform and empower.
WSBA held its second walk in October 2019 and raised $36,000, which was split between donations to ZSFGH Cancer Center supporting professional development to directly benefit cancer patients and to BACC for their boutique, comfort totes, and the Karen Swanson Fund. The BACC boutique helps patients find wigs, hats, scarves, bras, and swimsuits. Comfort totes
are given to new clients providing resources and comforting items such as tea, fuzzy socks, underarm pillows, healing imagery and more to support them mentally and physically as they move through cancer treatments.
About 250 Bay Area patients are offered these services annually. The Karen Swanson Fund grants a client near the end of their life an opportunity they could not otherwise afford to do something that would make them feel complete or improve their quality of life. WSBA funds sponsored ten grant recipients at $750 apiece.
WSBA is very proud of what they have accomplished, but 2020 has proved to be a very different year from previous ones in so many ways and has brought with it many challenges. Walk Strong Bay Area's walk is tentatively scheduled to happen October 10th but may be postponed or canceled due to the pandemic. Despite the unusual circumstances and hardships, several things are still true: people are still developing breast cancer, and WSBA is still committed to fighting breast cancer. Their goal for 2020 is to raise $20,000.
WSBA is continuing to raise funds and to support and serve those with a cancer diagnosis. Please think about contributing to WSBA this year. Your donations will enable and continue critical programs and services for cancer patients. You can donate in one of two ways: you can support one or more of the 20 walkers on the 2020 team by going to walkstrongbayarea.org, or you can make a generic donation by reaching out to the leadership team at walkstrongbayarea.org/contact-1.

Maastricht is located in the heart of Europe and remains one of the most important fairs in the world for antiques, old masters and modern art.
Our stand is located in the "Works on Paper" section on the first floor and we are presenting a gouache by Sonia Delaunay from 1965 that has been shown at the Tate Moderne, during the "Sonia Delaunay" exhibition.
The schedule of the Galerie de la Presidence starts with Brafa, in Brussels in January, followed by Tefaf in Maastricht – which is a must – and then, the salon du dessin, which will take place the last week of March, in Paris."
Louis Anquetin
Bourrasque sur le pont des Saints-Pères
Louis Anquetin was a brilliant figure in late 19th-century Parisian life.
This innovative painter participated in the XX Salon in Brussels with Théo Van Rysselberghe in 1888. This art fair that revealed his talent. He was 27 years old and successful.
Anquetin painted "Coup de vent sur le pont des Saints-Pères" (Gusts of Wind on the Saint-Pères Bridge) in 1889. The painting, which is not very academic, was divisive – he was accused of breaking the rules…

Adjusting Expectations Can Foster an Intentional Life
We live in a society where our worth is often measured by traditional benchmarks: graduating from college, owning a house, getting married, having children, and getting a stable job. It feels like these expectations on what we should do with our lives are with us from the day we are born, and what is expected of us to be considered a productive member of society. For many of us, our goals can bring a sense of stability but they can also limit our ability to experience different outcomes that … [Read more...] about Adjusting Expectations Can Foster an Intentional Life

Spring Forward into a Career You Love – Part 1
There's nothing like a change in the seasons to invigorate us, and new beginnings can often boost our appetite for further change. One area that is very important to many of us (and is a big part of our day) is our career/job. When things feel like they are going south and we start to dread going to work, there comes a time when we must determine how to make lemons out of the lemonade and improve our circumstances, or decide if it's time to leave or start something entirely new. Because so much … [Read more...] about Spring Forward into a Career You Love – Part 1
New Year – An Evolving You!
As I sit here in Ubud, Bali, considering my life and the new year, it feels open and full of possibilities. There's nothing like a new calendar year, to encourage us to pause and consider all the different aspects of our lives. Whether it's relationships, career, health or family, a new year tends to prompt us to take pause, audit life and imagine how we would like our life and year to look. Every year, (especially while on holiday) I like to consider what my best life looks like and how I can … [Read more...] about New Year – An Evolving You!
The Sweet Spot of GRATITUDE
If you look at your overall life, there are always things that you could be thankful for that we sometimes forget to see and appreciate - whether that's the gift of health, the comfort of a home, a loving family or friends or small moments that brighten your day, like a kind gesture. These are the sorts of things we know we should be grateful for, but sometimes forget or take for granted. Beyond that, when we look deeper, we can also foster gratitude for even the most challenging experiences … [Read more...] about The Sweet Spot of GRATITUDE

When I was in Las Vegas this summer for Cosmoprof , I booked a pedicure with Linda Prida at Marsilio & Co. Salon. As a booth renter, Prida operates out of her own private room that is equipped for both skin care and pedicures with walls adorned with Hawaii memorabilia and signs urging her clients to "relax."
The salon, located in an industrial area about 10 minutes from the famous Las Vegas Strip, has been open for 13 years, and it boasts a large retail area in the front where purses, jewelry, scarves, and other boutique items take up space beside hair and skin care retail items. Booth renters at Marsilio & Co. receive a commission on any retail items they sell.
Licensed for 23 years, Prida specializes in pedicures. (She also offers natural nail manicures, but she doesn't do any enhancements or gel-polish services.) She's a level two reiki practitioner, and she also created a special service called Pedikarma, an ayurvedic foot rejuvenation service that is designed to balance a client's chakras.
Her main pedicure service is called It's Not Just a Pedicure, and it's designed as an hour and half "journey." Prida performs the service in a dimly lit room with relaxing music. The client reclines in a facial chair, which allows Prida to work her pedicure magic at a comfortable level.
An educator for Footlogix, she uses Footlogix's complete line, including the exfoliating seaweed scrub, which I loved. (Unfortunately, I was running to a dinner meeting and she had to do an abbreviated service on me. But I can still attest that the service name rings true.)

Still, after having been at it for some twenty years - you´d think there would have been more impressive results already! Eight years ago (before my three-year ballet break), my best assisted extension to the side was probably toes level with chin. Don´t ask me about degrees, I suck at math. That gorgeous picture (ballerinaproject.com) to the left: add a long arm holding the leg and you´d get my picture (which is a pretty good picture). Since then, more progress has been made. Today, on a good day, my stretchier left leg goes foot-in-hand all the way up. We are talking about 10 minutes before 6 o'clock here. Seriously, I never looked at my ankle from that angle before. And I gotta tell you, it´s a whole new world!
Sadly, we all know that feet-in-hand do not neccessarily stay up without manual help. Usually gravity kicks ass as soon as we let go. However.. I´ve been building muscle for a long time. In fact, a bit too much - I bulk up very quickly. But, now it seems that strength and flexibilty are finally coming together! When I let go off my foot, the left leg stays up at the same heigt as the picture above. It´s a short but sweet moment, much better than my usual crashing down in the blink of an eye! On Friday, when we did our developpés devant into plié, my left leg rose and rose - and look mom, no hands! Of course it was no way near pro-heights, but I´m still very happy about my progress. My teacher noticed too. Now if I only could get my much tighter and lower right leg to follow suit..
Quite a few have asked me to share the stretching & extension magic. But what can I tell you? There really are no tricks and short-cuts. Also, I can only speak for my instrument - and we are all unique in our own little idiosyncrasies.. But what I can give away is this:
Be consistent. If you´re a tight bod like me (talking muscles and ligaments, not over-all firmness), you need to stretch on a daily basis. It does not have to be the same routine and intensity every day, but make a habit of stretching anyway.
Relax. Muscle tightness is often accompanied by tension. Do not force / bounce / jerk / push your stretches. Listen to your body, breath. Be calm and focused. Think long.
Warm up and loosen up. You don´t have to drip with sweat, but don´t stretch when you´re all cold and stiff. Go for a walk or a jog, do push-ups and abs. Loosen all your joints, from head to toe. Use a pinky or tennis ball on tight spots. Even massage the soles of your feet.
Try out yoga. You don´t have to get into the philosophy if it´s not your thing, but you learn many ways to stretch your body. Yoga also helps to get calm and centered.
Be patient. If you want to get into splits (still my holy grail with right leg in front), loosen and stretch everything else first. Be patient. Be consistent.

Huge transformation at Edlington Victoria Primary School leads to a '˜good' Ofsted rating
The school has been through a huge transformation partly due to the strong leadership but also due to the support received from parents and carers and the council.
This is something that Ofsted commented on in their report saying that "the executive head teacher has been an inspirational force, setting out a clear vision for how successful the school can be. As a result of the excellent leadership substantial improvements have been made since the last inspection."
The inspectors also commented on the relentless focus of the Head of School in changing the school for the benefit of the pupils, the good quality of teaching which was also reinforced by parents and carers who stated that their children were settled and happy in the school.
Beryce Nixon, Executive Head Teacher Edlington Victoria Primary School, said: "We are all delighted and proud with the rating that Ofsted have given Edlington Victoria Primary school. This result is due to the dedication and hard work of the staff, parents and carers and the pupils and has provided improvements across all areas in the school.
"The Ofsted report also noted that as a result of good teaching, almost all pupils are now making expected progress and many make accelerated progress. The main aim of the school was to improve teaching and learning to achieve better outcomes for our pupils and we have done just that. We are proud that Ofsted have recognised that our pupils are highly articulate, have grown immensely in confidence and have a very positive attitude to their learning and development.
"We are now planning to build on this success and ensure that we receive an 'Outstanding' rating at the next Ofsted inspection, giving the whole community a school that they can be proud of."
The Ofsted report also stated that "the pupil behaviour is good. This is a result of clear behaviour policies, consistently applied by all staff. In lessons the vast amount of pupils displayed good attitude to learning."
Nuala Fennelly, Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Schools, said: "I would like to congratulate Edlington Victoria Primary on their great Ofsted rating. The school, pupils and the parent and carers have all worked hard and supported each other to achieve this rating.
"It is wonderful to see that the young people who attend the school are growing up to be confident, articulate and well educated people which will stand them in good stead for their future."

Masood Azar, backed by secular China
COMMUNIST CHINA HAS, for the fourth time, exercised its veto power in the United Nations Security Council to save Jaish-e-Mohammed founder and chief terrorist Masood Azar from being declared a global terrorist.
And Rahul Gandhi, President of the dynasty-ruled Congress Party (who met Chinese leaders months ago along with sister Priyanka, her husband Robert Vadra and his mother Maureen in a gesture of friendship} has declared that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was a coward who was afraid of China's President Xi (no, not an 11-member cricket team but a lifetime President of the country).
Rahul, the great-grandson of Jawaharlal Nehru who coined the slogan 'Hindi-Chini Bhai Bhai' before India lost a war to China and said that "my heart goes out to the people of Assam" who were fleeing the Chinese aggression, is not a coward like Modi. It is only communal Assamese who hated Nehru for this tearful statement of surrender.
Modi's diplomatic offensive and tour of scores of countries, including those never visited by an Indian Prime Minister, resulted in China being isolated in the world body. All the other members opposed China, backing India and threatened other steps against Azar. Of course, there was no such gang-up on the three other occasions when China backed Azar terrorism. The Congress-led UPA was then in power in Delhi.
It was purely due to their courage that Congress leaders kept quiet, knowing that China did it only in the interests of avoiding confrontation and conflict with the terrorists whom the Congress refers to with honorifics like 'Ji' and 'Sahib'. Brave Congress leaders did so only in the interests of communal harmony and secularism.
Communism may hold that religion is "the opiate of the masses" but it does not matter to China that Jaish-e-Mohammed means 'Army of Mohammed", the main Prophet of Islam. Such small things are unimportant as China feels that Masood Azar is the very personification of goodness. He kills innocent people as they are 'kaafirs' who do not believe in Islam. He fights for the rights of invaders from abroad to occupy parts of Kashmir and throw out its residents, the Pandits, all in the interests of peace and harmony.
China has its own Muslim problem and therefore cannot anger its Jihadi Muslims by standing with India. According to China and the Indian National Congress, those opposing Jaish are communalists while supporting the killing of innocent men, women, and children is purely secular.
More details of what Rahul said against the 'coward' Modi could not be heard as they were downed in the thunderous applause of Congressmen for adding 'coward' to the list of abuses for Modi, like thief (chor), uneducated uncouth,(anpadh-gawar), low-born (neech) and tea-seller (chaiwala) — ha ha ha — which they hurled at him.
The deafening applause by tail-wagging Congressmen who describe Jeneu-wearing Brahmin Rahul, grandson of Feroze, as Ram and his sister Priyanka as Durga, is all in the interests of secularism. This is election time and the louder you shout exhibiting loyalty to the dynasty, the greater your chances of being nominated.
Jaish deserves support for another reason; it too is dynastic like the Congress. Almost all its office-bearers are members of Azar's family.
And the pro-China factions of Communists, who once said "Chairman Mao is Our Chairman", add to the tumult by clapping – more for China than for Rahul whom they now support in the interests of secularism, though Congress dismissed their first elected government in Kerala.
Meanwhile, the intolerant BJP workers are hoping he would spread more such pearls of wisdom. For, has not Manishankar (neech admi) Aiyar's invitation to sell tea at Congress session helped Modi become the PM?

Custom Nepal and Tibet Treks Spring and Autumn with International Mountain Guides
IMG's Trekking programs are recognized worldwide as simply outstanding, with a reputation for our highly professional staff of leaders, climbers and Sherpas, first-rate logistics and our resulting safety and success record in the Himalayas.
Whether you're looking for a short, helicopter-supported 16-day Everest Base Camp Express program, or an extended camping trek exploring more remote areas, we can assist!
Over the years we have done custom programs to the Manaslu, Dhaulagiri, Rolwaling, Annapurna, Kangchenjunga, Gokyo, Dolpo, Hinku/Hongu areas in Nepal as well as the Cho Oyu Trek, Rongbuk Trek, and Kangshung Face Treks in Tibet. If you are interested in an "off the beaten path" trek, let us know and we can help you design the perfect itinerary!
The Everest Treks are perennial favorites for good reason, with great scenery and lots of flexibility. Spring Season (March, April, May) and Autumn Season (October, November, December) are the most popular times to trek. Drop us a line if our Spring Season Everest BC Treks or Autumn Season Three Peaks/Three Passes Trek don't quite line up with your availability.
We have provided some sample trek itineraries that will help with your planning. If you do not see the itinerary you are thinking about or have something specific that you would like to see, let us know and we will be happy to help.
We'll look forward to hearing from you!
A Note on Dates
We take acclimatization seriously and are not comfortable conducting an Everest Base Camp Trek with less than 16 days on the schedule (trek in, helicopter out).
The Peak Season for trekking in the Khumbu Valley for Spring is the first two weeks of April and for Autumn is the last two weeks of October. These are normally very good weather periods, and the fixed wing flights Kathmandu-Lukla-Kathmandu normally will go every day without disruption. The trekking is excellent, but it is very busy in the lodges and flights during these periods.
For people with date flexibility and the financial capability to fly by helicopter, we suggest that they consider trekking slightly earlier in the respective seasons. For example, start your Spring trek in early or mid-March or your Autumn trek in late September or early October. This way you will be ahead of the big wave of trekkers and still have a good chance of staying on schedule with your trek. The weather is normally very good higher up in Khumbu during these time periods, and if you are flying by helicopter you have much better chance of getting in/out of Khumbu during these slightly off peak times. It is also possible to go later in the respective seasons (May and November) which achieves the same result (missing the high season wave of trekkers).
Please contact us to discuss your options in more detail!
Expedition Organization and Leadership
International Mountain Guides (IMG)
IMG is the oldest and most respected high-altitude climbing service in the world and its Himalayan mountaineering programs are organized and directed by Eric Simonson. Their teams include a group of professionals who are the best in the business. Since 1990, we have conducted over 60 Himalayan 8000 meter expeditions, and over 800 IMG team members have summited the world's classic 8,000-meter peaks, including Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu and Shishapangma.
IMG's Philosophy
IMG leads the way! Our goal is to minimize risk while helping as many members as possible reach their goal, and we invest in the logistics and manpower to make this possible. We will not sit back and let other teams do the work. Invariably, our IMG Sherpas are part of the rope fixing efforts and the first team to the summit, preparing the route for future summit bids. We value our reputation as one of the premiere international climbing companies. If you would like to join a world-class team on Everest, we encourage you to contact us to discuss your goals and qualifications for membership in the IMG Everest team!
Ang Jangbu and the IMG Sherpa Team
A veteran of dozens of expeditions and an Everest summiter, Ang Jangbu has worked on every IMG Himalayan program since 1991 and is a very popular leader. Ang Jangbu Sherpa and his staff put together one of the very best Sherpa teams for IMG. We are proud to have a group of Sherpas working for us who are among the best paid, best led, best equipped, and best trained in the business.
Joining a high-altitude trek or expedition is a serious decision. You should be completely confident in the organization and leadership before you make that decision. Many of you have climbed with us before, and because your experience with us was good, you're considering another climb with us. For those of you who haven't climbed with us before, we strongly encourage you to interview us thoroughly and also talk to our past clients. When you're ready to make the decision, we'll be happy to provide you with a complete list of references. Please also browse comments online from our trekkers and climbers.

Nov. 22, 2011 -- Lady Gaga lives a whirlwind life of superstardom bordering "on the edge of glory," but when it comes to the holidays, there's only one place the world traveling performer likes to unwind.
"I just like to be with my family," the 25-year-old told "Good Morning America's" Robin Roberts of her favorite holiday traditions. "We just love to eat all day long and watch whatever TV special is on, watch old movies."
Much harder for the singer with legions of devoted fans is to completely disconnect, or watch a movie uninterrupted by phone calls from her "Little Monster" fans.
"My father refuses to change our home phone number, so the phone is just ringing all day long," Gaga said of what happens when she goes home for the holidays. "He goes, 'Hold on. It's Alicia from Tennessee.' And then he hands me the phone, and I'm like 'Hi, Alicia.' And it's, 'Oh my God, it's really you."
"They're never, never gone, my other family, little monsters," Gaga told "GMA." "The phone's always ringing."
Gaga's phone will stop ringing long enough for her to appear in the "A Very Gaga Thanksgiving" special airing Thanksgiving Day on ABC, but it's the holiday after Thanksgiving that really grabs her heart.
"I love giving gifts more than I like receiving gifts, so Christmas is one of my favorite times," she said.
This Christmas, Gaga is giving holiday shoppers the ultimate gift, a one-of-a-kind holiday shopping experience at Barney's New York that only Gaga could create.
"Gaga's Workshop" is a 5,500-square-foot wonderland full of candy, books, toys, clothes and more that the world-famous singer partnered with the designer department store to create.
WATCH: Lady Gaga Gives Robin An Exclusive Tour Inside "Gaga's Workshop"
The Workshop is a dream of Gaga's, her vision brought to life with the aid of stylist Nicola Formichetti, artist Eli Sudbrack and Barneys' creative director Dennis Freedman.
"We received a wonderful email from Barneys asking if we wanted to do a collaboration for Christmas," she told "GMA." "I've been doing videos now for awhile, and working with some amazing people, so I've acquired sort of a wide palette in terms of what I like to see visually."
Taking over the entire fifth floor of the Madison Avenue Men's store, the Workshop is a visual sight to behold, with mini-shopping areas include a jewelry shop created out of an oversized Lady Gaga-turned-spider and a wig-shaped boudoir that dispenses Gaga's signature bow headbands fashioned from hair.
PHOTOS: Inside "Gaga's Workshop" at Barneys
There's also a candy shop, toy shop, closet space, library and gallery to round out your shopping experience.
"I just wanted there to be something for everyone," she said. "Some things that are affordable, and some things that are more special."
The more special items include a $95 chocolate shoe, a $1,600 disco ball necklace and replicas of her notorious red-carpet fashions, including the armadillo-shaped Alexander McQueen she wore in the video for "Bad Romance" and the "Meat Dress" she wore to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards.
The rest of her "Little Monsters" can choose among special editions of Gaga's favorite childhood books, an $85 box of cookies shaped like her outfits, black platform stiletto Christmas stockings for $65 and a $35 spin toy in the shape of an egg that opens to show a Gaga figurine in a gold dress, an ode to her red-carpet arrival at this year's Grammy Awards.
Beyond satisfying her creative fires and whimsical holiday dreams, the Workshop is a particularly personal, and passionate, project for Gaga.
Twenty-five percent of all sales from Gaga's Workshop, open now through January 2, will be donated by Barneys to the "Born This Way Foundation," the organization recently founded by Lady Gaga and her mother, to focus on youth empowerment and equality.
"This is our passion project. The charity is focused around inspiring bravery and kindness in youth all over the world," she said. "My mom and I are really passionate about that. It's an organization centered around anti-bullying and pushing the boundaries of acceptance."

During Kindness Week from February 11th to February 17th we will make a special and more dedicated effort to be kind to all people all the time.
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
1) Write someone (teacher, friend, lover, employer) a note or even a letter telling them how much you appreciate the positive affect they have had in your life. And, MAIL the letter. What a nice surprise for them to receive.
2) Call a homeless shelter or food bank and ask what you can do for them. Even, 10 bucks can make a difference.
3) Invite someone who lives alone to dinner or bring them a nice home cooked meal.

Maud by Melanie J. Fishbane shows how much work Fishbane put into this novel. I don't know much about Maud except that she wrote Anne of Green Gables. Which of course Anne of Green Gables. Which of course Anne of Green Gables is amazing. As I was reading Maud, I could tell that Fishbane put in a lot of research for this book.
Maud is such a great character. I love the strength that Maud is able to pull from inside herself. Her strength is so inspiring. All Maud wanted to do was be a writer and she accomplished her dreams.
As much as I enjoyed learning about L.M. Montgomery and her life, I was a bit disappointed in how slow the book is. At the same time I think this story is worth reading.

Having studied fine art, matriculated with a business degree, become a business executive, and returned to the art world, I have now come full circle. The work I do today draws on talents and skills acquired in both worlds; I am constantly surprised by the intersections I discover.
Every September for the past 10 years, I have curated a major contemporary art exhibition of works in bronze, steel, glass, ceramic, fine art, and site specific installations, in a one-acre naturalistic garden and 200-year old farmhouse in rural Pennsylvania that serve as my family's retreat. Gallery in the Garden showcases the work of emerging and recognized artists over two well-attended weekends.
In June 2004, I received a private commission from a passionate art patron to create a sculpture garden/event on her extensive woodland property, which took shape as Sticks and Stones: the making of a sculpture garden. Welcoming 900 people over 4 days, this memorable event celebrated the collector's appreciation of the relationship between a designed landscape and fine art. The show exhibited the work of 25 artists, including artists born and educated in Australia, Japan, Romania, Italy and Bulgaria, all now working in the U.S.

X Receiver
An X receiver is a pass-catching position on offense whose alignment and responsibilities depend on the system or scheme in place. In many systems, the X receiver sets up directly on the line of scrimmage five to ten yards left or right of the offensive linemen, usually outside or on the numbers. Also called a split end.
Below, the LSU Tigers set up with a tight end in the offensive left slot, with the X receiver split out wide on the numbers:
Here, Temple has trips strong side and a single, X receiver to the weak side. The Owls run the slant/flat concept with the X receiver, Ventell Bryant (#87), and the running back:
The quarterback reads this play well. This coverage scheme tasks the playside linebacker with rolling to the flat and covering the out route. With the backside linebacker shaded to the three receiver side of the field, he has a nice throwing alley to the X receiver, Bryant, on the slant:

Plaintiffs Robert Whitsitt and Thomas Shine say they introduced investor Jason Levien to Comcast-Spectacor chairman Edward Snider at a lunch meeting late last year. They say they were promised $2 million if they found a purchaser and met certain other conditions.
New York-based leveraged buyout specialist Joshua Harris led an ownership group that completed the purchase in October. Levien, a former NBA player agent and Sacramento Kings executive, is one of numerous owners and investors in a group that includes co-managing owner David Blitzer and Hollywood power couple Will and Jada Pinkett Smith.
Whitsitt is the former president of the Seattle Seahawks and Portland Trailblazers. Shine is an executive at Canton, Mass.-based Reebok International Ltd.
Comcast-Spectacor challenges the merits of their claims and plans to vigorously defend the suit, spokesman Ike Richman said.
According to the lawsuit, Comcast-Spectacor has previously rejected the plaintiffs' fee demand on grounds Levien is not a controlling owner and that it paid a finder's fee to someone else. The plaintiffs call that logic "frivolous" and say it differs from the written agreement.
The agreement, as excerpted in their lawsuit, promises a $2 million finder's fee if Shine and Whitsitt find a purchaser to serve as the controlling owner, "or another person designated by purchaser with the consent of club owner."
The NBA defines a controlling owner as someone with at least a 15 percent equity stake in the franchise who also manages the operations, according to the suit.
"In July 2011, there was an agreement between the club owner and a purchaser (consisting in part of Jason Levien) whereby a person designated by the purchaser became the 'controlling owner' of the club," the lawsuit states.
The Philadelphia Inquirer first reported Wednesday on the breach-of-contract lawsuit, which was filed a day earlier in federal court in Philadelphia. The plaintiffs are also seeking interest and legal fees.
The 76ers haven't won a playoff series since 2003 and have gone years without turning a profit. Snider, who called the shots the last 15 years, told The Associated Press this year that massive financial losses led the company to strike the deal to sell the team in July.
The team's new owners have slashed ticket prices to try to fill seats and raise revenues.

First conceived in 1936, the then owner Monsieur Dubost-Martin and his dad began digging the ground. Their plan was delayed due to the breakout of WWII. After the war, they returned, built and finished the chalet in 1947. All the outside wood was grown and cut locally from Vallorcine, and the rock for the walls were from Les Grands Montets and on-site when they dug out the base.
It remained in the same family since 1947 right through to 2009, when we purchased it. The chalet was a summer lodge only, as it had no heating, single pane glass and only one bathroom. It has been a labour of love ever since, with a complete refurbishment in 2012, and final amendments right through to 2014. We are still not finished we will continue to improve and redecorate each year. We hope you feel the history and tranquillity of the chalet and enjoy it as much as we do.

da InfoSpaces:
As I wrote in my preliminary post about FaceTag, this project is actually quite unique in its kind.I think about it as a sort of bridge between emergent and traditional classification tools. A mixed sauce that aims to smoothen both the limits of controlled vocabularies and of plain folksonomies.
The feedback that we got at the EuroIA was quite positive. I saw a lot of people interested, asking about further developments and the possibility to play with the tool.
This morning we published the slides that we used at the EuroIA and the revised paper with screenshots embedded. You are encouraged to download them and to let us know your comments, critics and suggestions.
We are no more the only ones with a similar vision in mind: Marti Hearst should be working on something related and I'm pleased to notice that librarians are evaluating similar approaches as well, comparing ontologies and thesauries to folksonomies. Have a look at the abstracts for the SIG/CR Workshop in Texas or to the call for papers for the next ASIS&T Annual Meeting.
It's a little bit sad admitting that librarians are quickly catching up while information architects are still discussing about the usefulness of folksonomies.
I'm more for a pragmatical approach. That's why we proposed a tool, not only a paper. That same tool is now in alpha and it will be soon opened to information architects to test its usefulness for their everyday tasks.
per me molto interessante…non so per voi;)

It would not legalize the sale and use of marijuana in all 50 states — it would simply allow states to make their own decisions on marijuana policy without the threat of federal interference. "Virginia is more than capable of handling its own marijuana policy, as are states such as Colorado or California," Rep. Thomas Garrett (R) said in a statement. Currently neither the recreational or medical uses of marijuana are allowed in Virginia.The bill does specify that transporting marijuana into states where it is not legal would remain a federal crime.Marijuana is currently a Schedule 1 controlled substance at the federal level, meaning the federal government considers the drug to have a "high potential for abuse" and "no medically accepted use." But more than half the states have set their own policies allowing either medical or recreational use of marijuana.Garrett's bill is identical to legislation introduced in 2015 by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). That bill didn't receive any co-sponsors, nor did it get a Senate hearing. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) has already signed on to Garrett's bill, as have Rep. Scott W. Taylor (R-Va.) and Rep. Jared Polis (D.-Colo.).Law enforcement groups and conservatives have traditionally been among the biggest skeptics of loosening marijuana laws. As a Republican and a former prosecutor, Garrett might seem like an unlikely champion for marijuana reform.But the freshman lawmaker frames the issue as both about states' rights, and creating jobs: "This step allows states to determine appropriate medicinal use and allows for industrial hemp growth, something that will provide a major economic boost to agricultural development in Southside Virginia," he said in a statement.One group that provides data services to the marijuana industry estimates that the legal pot industry could be worth $24 billion by 2020 and create 280,000 jobs. In Colorado alone, marijuana sales topped $1.3 billion last year.In 2016, the Drug Enforcement Administration reviewed the federal classification of marijuana and declined to loosen restrictions on the plant.Congress has shown increasing interest in tackling marijuana policy issues in recent years, to the extent that there is now an official Congressional Cannabis Caucus. But the most significant piece of marijuana legislation coming out of Congress in recent years was a budget rider preventing the Department of Justice from interfering with state-level marijuana laws.Tom Angell, of the pro-marijuana legalization group Marijuana Majority, said in an email that "while most of our federal gains to date have been through amendments attached to much broader spending bills, I'm hopeful that with the growing number of states changing their laws these stand-alone bills [like Garrett's] will get enough traction to at least finally start getting hearings."The Trump administration has been skeptical of the merits of making the drug legally available. Incoming Attorney General Jeff Sessions has said that "good people don't smoke marijuana," and press secretary Sean Spicer hinted that the administration may crack down on marijuana in some states where it's now legal.In introducing the bill, Garrett's statement tackled that skepticism directly:"In recent weeks, the Trump administration and Attorney General Jeff Sessions promised to crack down on federal marijuana crimes," his office wrote. "During his confirmation, then-Senator Sessions pointed out that if legislators did not like this approach, they should change the laws accordingly." Garrett anticipates bipartisan support as his legislation makes its way to the appropriate committees of jurisdiction. Christopher Ingraham writes about politics, drug policy and all things data. He previously worked at the Brookings Institution and the Pew Research Center.Source: Washington Post (DC)Author: Christopher IngrahamPublished: March 2, 2017Copyright: 2017 Washington Post CompanyContact: letters washpost.com Website: http://www.washingtonpost.com/ URL: http://drugsense.org/url/jIXHUnnFCannabisNews -- Cannabis Archiveshttp://cannabisnews.com/news/list/cannabis.shtml Home Comment Email Register Recent Comments Help Comment #4 posted by Hope on March 05, 2017 at 10:14:11 PT John Tyler. Yes! "Calls, cards and "town hall" gatherings". And E-Mail, snail mail, and letters to the Editors and Opinion pages."Thank them for the stuff they do that you agree with, and tell them what you want them to do." Indeed!Keep it short and easy to understand. Be aware of rambling! Don't ramble into other subjects. That just muddies the waters and dims the clarity of what you want to get across. [ Post Comment ] Comment #3 posted by John Tyler on March 03, 2017 at 07:08:29 PT politicians waking up, maybe? A recent poll indicated that overall 70% of the public favored legalization, of that total 55% of Republicans favored legalization. Some Republican politicians are finally realizing that and acting accordingly. Through experience, people have come to realize that the anti-cannabis propaganda they have been hearing for ages was a pack of lies and they want a change. Maybe more importantly, in the states where it is a legal industry the naysayers' dire predictions have not come to pass, and thousands of jobs have been created, and hundreds of millions of dollars have been generated. There is nothing politicians like more than lots of money. Money and legal cannabis, what is not to like? Cannabis karma is working for us. I don't think Trump really cares one way or the other. Sessions is now getting tangled up in his own corruption and ensuing legal difficulties and will be occupied with that for a while. I have my fingers crossed that it will all work out for us. Contact your Representatives and Senators through telephone calls, cards and "town hall" gatherings. Thank them for the stuff they do that you agree with, and tell them what you want them to do.

Reason being an issue with the restraint control module.
A Ford India spokesperson has confirmed to Indian Autos Blog that deliveries and test drives of the Ford Figo and Ford Figo Aspire have been suspended as the company is investigating an issue with the restraint control module of the two cars. Once the issue is resolved, the company will resume deliveries of both models.
The reason for the suspension of deliveries is an issue with the restraint control module, a component of the ECU that controls the deployment of the vehicle's safety features. The spokesperson didn't go into further details about the issue.
The Ford Figo and Figo Aspire offer a driver's airbag as standard in the base grade, while rest of the grades add a passenger airbag to the list. The range-topping Titanium Plus is equipped with a pair of side and curtain airbags – bringing the total count to six. The 1.5 petrol Titanium AT is exclusively fitted with Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Traction Control System (TCS) and Hill Launch Assist.

In other news, recent reports suggest that the company had to reduce the production rate of both the Ford Figo and Figo Aspire due to weak demand in the market. Currently, the average production per month is around 6,500 units for both models, while planned exports to Europe will commence later this year.
