If something new has appeared in philosophy and that "this work is as beautiful as those it challenges" we shall see that it all takes place in a new dimension, "which we might call a diagonal dimension, a sort of distribution of points, groups or figures that no longer simply act as an abstract framework but actually exist in space". The spaces that constitute this immanent dimension are topological or as Foucault says - "heterotopological". We shall designate these heterotopologies: Knowledge, Power and Self. Although these sites are irreducible to each other they seep into and 'capture' each other through a series of multiple and complex relations in such a way as to suspect, neutralise or invert the set of relations that they happen to designate, mirror or reflect. If within these sites subjects, objects and concepts disappear it is only in order to 'disperse' or 'distribute' them according to their variable functions and make them reappear again, released of their 'self-evidence', in a new space of immanence. Each heterotopology is capable of juxtaposing within itself and outside of itself, or rather across its folded surfaces, several formed spaces that are not isomorphic or even compatible but are heterogeneous and communicate with or 'encounter' each other through a pure transmission of elements.

The Italian Artists Who Built the Florence Cathedral
The Italian Artists Who Built the Florence Cathedral
The monumental complex of the Florence Cathedral is an extraordinary work which involved the greatest italian artists of that time.
The construction of the Florence Cathedral started in 1296 and it was finally accomplished in 436 with the conclusive construction of the façade of Santa Maria del Fiore. Actually, the definitive construction of the frontal façade of the Cathedral was accomplished in 1887 according to Emilio de Fabris's project. Up to that moment, the partially incomplete façade used to be temporarily decorated during the most important celebrations.
The construction of this monumental work, which attracts tourists from all over the world, involved the most important
Italian artists
of the Middle Ages and Renaissance such as Arnolfo di Cambio, Giotto, Andrea Pisano, Filippo Brunelleschi, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Donatello, Paolo Uccello, Andrea del Verrocchio, Antonio del Pollaiolo, Luca della Robbia, Giorgio Vasari, Federico Zuccari and Michelangelo.
The Florence Cathedral construction was begun by Arnolfo di Cambio and then continued by Giotto, Francesco Talenti and Giovanni di Lapo Ghini, those was some of most important italian artists of that time.
The structure of the Florence Cathedral is made up of a three naves basilica church connected to a wide cross vault which constitutes the base of the huge Brunelleschi's Dome. Brunelleschi's Dome is a one-of-a-kind work that continues to astonish experts from all over the world, both for its size and its revolutionary method of building, conceived by the great Florentine architect.
Once concluded the construction of the dome, the interiors were decorated by Giorgio Vasari and Federico Zuccari who covered a surface of 3600 square meters with frescoes between 1572 and 1579, creating the biggest fresco overall.
Visiting the Cathedral of Florence it is impossible not to notice Giotto's bell tower and the Baptistery, two majestic examples of art and architecture.
The bell tower contruction was started in 1298 by Arnolfo di Cambio, who was then replaced by Giotto in 1334 who proposed its own project. Instead, the building of the Baptistery seems to be previous to the Cathedral one, even if we do not know the definite date of the original construction of this monument.

text: Some people say they were grandfathered into their craft—but Mark means it quite literally. Both his dad and his grandpa were leather craftsmen, so he grew up surrounded by the rich, tobacco smell and clanking tools. Though the craft was certainly in his lifeblood, it wasn't until he was 18, when he made his first bag, that he was hooked. As a young artist, Mark wanted to carry his paint and his camera everywhere (yeah, that's when you were carrying Pearl Jam "10" everywhere you went), but couldn't find the right bag. It took him a month of hard work, hand-cutting and -stitching everything—and he's been refining the process for his handmade Americana goods ever since. In fact, he still goes through dozens of prototypes before he finds the perfect design. We always thought that 12 bags were better than one anyway.

Alzheimer's solution released
AFFIRMATIVhealth personalized program
AFFIRMATIVhealth and AidCube announced they have teamed up to offer a personalized, protocol-based mobile tool for support for RE:Mind. The program is created to improve brain health for those with Alzheimer's or dementia.
The new mobile technology option allows remote interaction with cognitive health specialists and RE: Mind participants, the company said. The app enables dialogue through secure messaging, and includes compliance advice, videos and reminders focused on diet and exercise.
"We are very excited to introduce this innovative mobile tool, which enables constant engagement, and coaching opportunities following RE:mind's immersion experience.

Healthcare's future depends on getting personal
Shannon Hartley
Vertical lead and managing partner, Healthcare, Rosetta
The future of healthcare lies in more personalized interactions between brands and customers. Pharma, hospitals and payers need to apply insights and data to create more meaningful interactions with their customers. Here are some ways to enable deeper customer engagement:
Develop improved patient education programs: The Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandates strict penalties for re-admittance within 30 days of patient discharge. Payers, pharma and hospitals must collaborate on solutions to keep costs down. Hospitals must improve how they help patients manage their care by developing patient websites with discharge information, links to patient communities and instructions for financial assistance. Like pharma, hospitals should leverage technologies like Augmented Reality for visualizations of how a disease affects the body or Gamification to show patients how to manage their disease through customized games.
Apply insights from less regulated industries: Pharma needs to better understand how consumers interact with brands on mobile devices, how content is shared through social channels and how to run more effective loyalty programs. Using consumer insights from the technology industry, we leveraged the iPad's geo-location functionality to create up-to-date formulary cards with HCPs' locations to determine co-pays for patients based on their zip codes. With hundreds of insurance plans and regular changes to formularies, this lets reps provide up-to-date information to HCPs during sales calls.
Create customizable and highly relevant content: Pharma must drive engagement between HCPs and their sales force. To stay relevant, reps must provide up-to-date information that can be personalized based on past interactions with HCPs. Marketers should mine insights from all interactions HCPs have with pharma companies, as well as reps' interactions with HCPs.Our industry has the data and ability to leverage technology to transform how we communicate with patients and HCPs. Companies who break down internal silos and harness information to create personalized experiences will achieve greater financial rewards and improve health outcomes. Our health is personal. We need to enhance our communication capabilities to be personal as well.

How The Z-STIK Came Be...
As a worship leader at our church, New Song Christian Fellowship, in Grants Pass, Oregon, music is a huge part of my life and has been for my whole life.
Music is one of the many ways I express myself and my love for Jesus. The Lord has always given me dreams and visions while awake and asleep.
The "Z" came in a dream, designed while I slept and when I awoke, went straight to the shop and built it. To start with I wasn't sure what I was building; I knew it was a shaker and a new twist on the rain stick but I had no clue what kind of rhythmic explosion we would have in the percussion realm.
I included an internal electric pickup and handed it over to my pastor, Ron Nicholson, who has been a percussionist for over 30 years. Ron plugged it in, started tapping it like a drum and the "Z-STIK" came alive.
Two years and many variations later "The Original Z-STIK" had come to the World.
Many special people in my life have contributed to the finished product, from the name to painting, design to the photography, I haven't done this alone.
Lots of love goes into each "Z" and we are honored that God would use us to be a part of "Creating A Whole New Groove" in the music industry.

LUCA was able to use FileWave software to effectively and efficiently distribute their diverse and ever-changing software onto 450 Apple machines, impacting 3000 users.
Wil, Switzerland (PRWEB) May 20, 2014
LUCA School of Arts, in Ghent, Belgium, faced a common problem in many institutions today - a declining number of full time employees in the IT department, but growing technology needs. At the same time, LUCA was looking to integrate Macs into their existing Windows framework, creating a systems management challenge. As with many school environments, LUCA was faced with not only ever changing software, but ever changing policies and environments, as well. They needed a management solution that offered both ease of use and scalability, which is where FileWave came into the picture. LUCA adopted a strict energy-saving policy (e.g. automatic shutdown, hibernation, etc.) yet needed a solution that could prevent these automations from kicking in during installations, and could deploy large applications like Adobe Creative Cloud. Quick and efficient deployments on their 450 Apple machines was imperative.
FileWave is a systems and mobile device management software company that has been around for over 20 years. Based out of Wil, Switzerland, with a US office in Fishers, Indiana, FileWave manages millions of desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones across a variety of operating system, such as Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android, all from one console. Just last month, FileWave announced version 8.0 which introduced new features including Android support, the addition of inventory-based smart groups, VPP managed distribution with multiple sToken support, parameterized profiles for Mac, and advanced license management. When combined with existing FileWave features that include an integrated inventory tool, a highly-scalable booster technology, patented file level deployment and management, a self-service kiosk for end users, advanced license management, and cross-platform imaging, FileWave's version 8.0 has a strong presence in the systems and mobile device management market.
LUCA School of Arts is just one of the many success stories of FileWave's use in schools and businesses worldwide. Read more about FileWave's use at LUCA School of Arts below and/or visit http://www.filewave.com for more information.

El Dorado County
Wednesday, May 21st, 2014
Recently El Dorado County (CA) Employees have begun to speak up about a culture of bullying. The most impressive example comes from Mike Applegarth, who does a great job making the business case and calling for workers to be protected.
The Board of Supervisors seem prepared to act and have an obvious respect for Mr. Applegarth. It becomes more difficult since the main perpetrator, Auditor Controller Joe Harn, is an elected official, making him seemingly immune from normal employee evaluation or punishment. The possibiity of public censure was raised by the board, as well as a county legal expert.
One thing is clear, employees in El Dorado County have been suffering for too long and things need to change.

'Lost' producer says Emmy nominations are akin to 'playing in the bonus round'
Of all the dearly departed series this year, "Lost" is the only one that got some real Emmy love. With 12 nominations, including outstanding drama, outstanding writing for executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, and acting nominations for Matthew Fox, Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson, the ABC series could be on its way to a big send-off.
Cuse said he didn't rise early to receive the good news in case it was bad. But Lindelof said his "masochist" nature forced him to watch it live, taking in E!'s "100 Celebrity Oops Moments" before the announcements were made.
"So I was taken out of my misery," Lindelof said. "Some years we've been up on the board and some years we haven't. The is enormously gratifying. After all the hoopla over the finale, whether you loved it or you hated it or found it polarizing, what feels good is that people still care. The ending of 'Lost' still matters, which is a sweet feeling. So many shows just peter off into existence without being recognized."
The producers' writing nomination is for the series finale, which was titled "The End."
"The expectations of the finale were incredibly high," Cuse said. "We knew it would be impossible to please everyone. The fact that we got the nomination is a reflection of the fact that we connected with enough people. We feel proud of that."
Lindelof acknowledged "Lost" had its highs and lows throughout its run, and said that aspect of it was just "part of the process."
"We're really lucky that we were able to end the show on our own terms," Cuse said. "To be recognized is the whipped cream on the frosting of the cake. It's like playing in the bonus round."

Hydroelectricity is a clean, renewable and highly efficient source of power. It is generated in hydroelectric power facilities across the globe and has helped to provide a source of cheap electricity for many different countries. This article provides some interesting information on hydropower along with various hydroelectricity facts.
General Facts About Hydroelectricity
Below you'll find some general facts associated with hydroelectricity:
- Hydropower is the world's leading renewable energy source by far. Electricity production from hydropower is far greater than that of solar, wind and geothermal energy sources.
- Hydroelectricity is generated by harnessing the kinetic energy in flowing water. This can be from a fast flowing stream or from water stored in a reservoir and then released.
- Lester Allan Pelton is considered to be the founding father of hydroelectricity. Pelton was born in Ohio, USA in 1829 and first patented his "Pelton Wheel" in 1880.
- The design of modern hydroelectric turbines such as the Turgo and Banki turbines has been inspired by the Pelton Wheel.
- Most hydroelectric facilities make use of a dam to store a water supply that can be called upon as and when needed, but others can be located in the vicinity of a fast flowing stream or river to utilise its natural kinetic energy.
- The largest hydroelectric facility in the world is the Three Gorges Dam in China which has an installed capacity of 22,500 MW (22.5 GW) as at 2012.
- Modern hydroelectric turbines have a very high efficiency rate and are able to convert as much as 90% of the kinetic energy contained in flowing water into electricity.
- Hydroelectricity has a quick reaction time and therefore is suited to meeting spikes in electricity demand. In the UK, it is common for power companies to release volumes of water into a hydroelectric facility shortly before the advert breaks of highly popular television shows to meet the spike in electricity demand as large volumes of people go to put the kettle on at once.
- Hydropower is free (after construction and operating costs) and can aid a countries economy by making it less vulnerable to fluctuations in the price of oil, coal and gas.
Hydroelectricity – Production Facts
These facts relate to the production of hydroelectricity and some feature various figures obtained from BP's statistical review of world energy 2014 which provides figures for world energy consumption in 2013:
- More electricity is produced from hydropower than all of the other renewable energy technologies put together.
- In 2013, hydroelectricity consumption was 3782 TWh.
- Globally, in 2013, hydropower generated more electricity than nuclear power with the consumption of nuclear power being only 2489 TWh.
- China produces the most hydroelectricity and generated 911.6 TWh in 2013, shadowing second place Brazil who generated a still impressive 385.4 TWh of hydroelectricity.
- The Asia-Pacific region generated the most hydroelectricity in 2013 at 1364.3 TWh with the vast majority of this coming from China.
- A small group of countries such as Brazil, Norway and Paraguay manage to produce the vast majority of their electricity demands from hydroelectricity.
Hydroelectricity – Environmental Facts
Hydroelectric facilities have various environmental impacts, both good and bad. Below you'll find some facts on the environmental impacts of hydroelectricity:
- Hydroelectricity has no direct CO2 emissions apart from any that are released during the construction of hydroelectric facilities. There is however some concern over the release of methane from the water of man-made hydroelectric dams (caused by rotting vegetation as a result of flooding land to form the dam).
- Globally, the use of hydroelectricity prevented the equivalent of 855.8 million tonnes of oil from being consumed in 2013 according to BP's statistical review of world energy 2014.
- Hydroelectric dams have various impacts on the ecosystem of a river and can issues locally, upstream and downstream.

It's Shoe Time For Container Gardening
Image Credit Mike Szilagyi
TreeHugger has shown a lot of container gardens, but this may be the smallest container yet, and the best example of recycling. Ontario balcony gardener Mike Szilagyi tells John Reinhardt at Grown in the City:
I tried my hand at container gardening this year and one of the things I did (which is pictured) was take an old pair of shoes, take out the insoles, drill a few holes in the bottom and fill the pair with soil and some plants. The purplish plant is Bugleweed and the other is Spotted Dead Nettle. The picture was taken after a month on my balcony and they both seem be doing well. I think it's a fun way to reuse some old shoes (of which we've all got plenty) and people seem to enjoy them!

The Division of International Trade of the Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP), a state authority created to promote economic expansion within the Commonwealth of Virginia, has selected Inovex Industries, Inc. to participate in its export development program named Accessing International Markets, or AIM. The AIM program provides funding, planning and professional services to select Virginia companies seeking to pursue new export leads.
Inovex currently exports to Afghanistan, Colombia, Kazakhstan, Singapore, United Arab Emirates and a host of other countries, and has recently set its sights on increasing sales of its Ride-On TPS tire sealants to Mexico. "We're excited to see how this program helps us to obtain a serious foothold in an export market closer to home," states Andrew McCabe, CFO of Inovex. "We're optimistic that the support of the Commonwealth in this endeavor will be win-win, since an increase in export volumes should spell the creation of additional jobs in Virginia."
For more information on the efforts of the VEDP's Division of International Trade in promoting Virginia exports, please visit their site at
or contact Michael Howley, International Trade Manager on 1-703-506-1030.

The Hurt In Their Eyes
By Stan Alcorn
St. Petersburg Times photographer Edmund Fountain talks about his Dart Award-winning portraits of men whose
lives are still shaped, up to 50 years later, by the brutal abuse they suffered at the Florida School for Boys.
For the reporters of
"For Their Own Good"
— the Dart Award-winning St. Petersburg Times series on the lasting
effects of physical abuse at the Florida School for Boys — having dozens of sources was a double-bind. Many men
repeating the same story established the history of abuse at the school, extending over decades. The consistency
of their descriptions gave each individual greater credibility. But in the writing, even the most memorable details —
"blood on the walls, bits of lip or tongue on the pillow, the smell of urine and whiskey, the way the bed springs sang
with each blow" — risked becoming dull if they were repeated again and again.
The photographer on the team, Edmund Fountain, faced the same challenge of balancing the systemic with the
individual, but in a different form. He took portraits of all of the men they interviewed, and he spoke with the Dart
Center about his approach.
In each photograph, an individual human being confronts the viewer with a palpable sense of vulnerability and hurt.
But instead of being diminished as they are replaced by others in a multimedia presentation or laid out next to
others in newsprint (PDF), the effect accumulates. It is, perhaps, the visual equivalent of the one passage in the
written story that takes advantage of the men's sheer numbers, by invoking their names:
Boys were dragged to the White House in ones and twos and threes, and sometimes there was a line outside, and
sometimes a white dog kept watch.
Here came Marshall Drawdy, Eddie Horne, Robert Lundy, Manuel Giddens . . .
And Jerry Cooper, snatched from his bed at midnight and dragged through the dark, bare feet over wet grass.
Shut your f------ mouth! one of the men told him. What do you know about a runner?
Just outside the door he saw a limp figure lying still. A boy. Blood on his pajamas.
And Larry Houston, Bryant Middleton, Donald Stratton . . .
And William Horne, waiting to go through the door when he heard a boy scream inside.
Then: I think we done killed him.
And Charles Rambo, George Goewey, James Griffin . . .
And Roger Kiser, a scrawny orphan. The stench hit him as he walked through the door. He tripped and fell and a
man grabbed him and slung him on the bloody mattress. Over his shoulder, he could see that the man only had one
Bite that pillow.
And Paul Carrin, Michael Greenway, Henry Williams, Roy Conerly, Willie Roberts, John Brodnax, Frank Marx, from
different cottages, different years, different circumstances, the same destination.
And Willy Haynes, who had asked the judge to send him here, who had wanted to throw a football under the pines.
Over 18 months, the men dragged Willy into the White House again and again.
Lay down. Hold the rail. Don't make a sound.
He could hear the strap coming. It started with the pivot, the shuffle of boots on concrete. The strap hit the wall, then
the ceiling, then thighs and buttocks and back, and it felt like an explosion.
When he got back to the cottage, Willy stood in the shower and let the cold water wash bits of underwear from his
lacerations, as his blood ran toward the drain.

"For Their Own Good."
Photo: Edmund D. Fountain / St.
Petersburg Times: "I don't want to see
anybody who made a mistake like I did
go through what I did in there," says
Matthew Schroeder. Schroeder was
held at the Florida School For Boys for
almost a year. He recounted horrific
abuse and medical neglect in the Dart
Award-winning St. Petersburg Times
series, "For Their Own Good."

Can a builder charge 5% VAT for their services?
Whilst the majority of businesses charge VAT at the standard rate of 20% there are a number of different VAT rates and exemptions that businesses should be aware. There are actually three separate VAT rates, the standard rate of 20%, the reduced rate of 5% and a zero rate. The reduced rate of VAT applies to the supply of certain goods and services.
In this article we will look at situations when the reduced VAT rate can apply to the conversion of a premises. This can happen where the number of dwellings in a property, after a conversion, changes from the number of dwellings before the conversion. For example, the conversion of a non-residential building into residential property is eligible for the reduced rate. (e.g. converting a restaurant into a house, or a warehouse into a block of apartments).
The reduced VAT rate of 5% will apply to qualifying services provided as part of a property conversion. These might include:
- Repairs and maintenance (such as redecoration), or
- Improvements carried out to the fabric of the building (such as the construction of an extension or the installation of double glazing).
Services within the immediate site of the premises being converted can also be at the reduced rate if they are in connection with the:
- means of providing water, power, heat or access;
- means of providing drainage or security, or
- provision of means of waste disposal.
Planning note:
However, HMRC's guidance is clear that all other services are standard-rated. For example, you must standard-rate:
- the installation of goods that are not building materials, such as carpets and fitted bedroom furniture;
- the erection and dismantling of scaffolding;
- the hire of goods;
- landscaping;
- the provision of professional services, such as those provided by architects, surveyors, consultants and supervisors.

IIRC the pcf8584 has a timing constraint on consecutive bus writes. Something like 5 clocks minimum delay at 10MHz. The dummy read may be a sun-devised way to ensure this constraint is met (I don't think the ebus hardware enforces it).

Gary's random little things about China:
You can search long and hard, in every drugstore and sundries market in China, and you will not find underarm deodorant for sale anywhere.
After traveling all over China, I know this to be true everywhere in China except Hong Kong.
If you ask a Chinese person why there is no deodorant for sale, they will tell you plainly, "Chinese people do not smell bad".
My reply is, "Have you never been on a crowded bus in the summer?"

I find it extremely difficult to go back to those whom I had stolen from, nor can I ever confess to them in order to gain their forgiveness. What should I do?
It is not necessary for you to face the embarrassment of informing them yourself, or offering compensation in person. You can send their dues to them by, for example, mail, or through another person without revealing your identity. You can also place it in their sight without their knowledge, or say to them if you have to go in person that "someone" - who doesn't like to reveal his name - says this is your property. In short, the important thing is to return rightful property to the people who it was taken from.
And Allah knows best.

The idea is fantastic. Robinhood works as a platform built on a 'commission free' setup. This means all trades are made without spending a penny.
Sounds like a great deal on paper, but how do they make money then?
The power of their platform will be through the use of dormant funds. These are funds that are sitting in the trader's account untouched. The idea is these funds can continually be invested by Robinhood to help the company earn money. The more they grow, the more their dormant funds pile grows as well. It is a unique method of earning money and it is going to work in their eyes [1].
Another way they will be looking to make money is by licensing software to firms in the financial world. They have a considerable amount of experience in creating software and this is going to help fund Robinhood in general [2].

Thanks to this forum, a lot of BBB knowledge, a ton of bleach, a few water changes, and one very large electric bill, I've managed to get my pool blue and clear in the past month. 2 weeks ago I held a shock level of 30ppm overnight and haven't looked back. The water has never looked better so thanks to all!
However, my new problem (and actually an old one) is that I'm accumulating large quantities of either dirt or pollen on a regular basis. (see photos). I can vacuum this stuff up and it will be back in 2 days. It's billowy when disturbed, but does vacuum up. This is about 5 days worth.
I've used skimmer socks, but nothing seems to accumulate on them. My sand filter is one year old, but I'm wondering if it's doing it's job? I shouldn't be getting this amount of debris kicked back every day, should I ? Is there a possibility that it's not functioning properly or I need to change the sand or something? And if this is pollen, am I stuck with daily vacuuming to keep it in check?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.... now that I can see the bottom of the pool, it would be nice to keep it clean
Here are my levels: FC=12, CC=0, TC=12, PH=7.6, TA=170, CH=270, CYA=70

Most Interesting Nicolas Cage Movie in Recent Memory Won't Feature Nicolas Cage
It's a heist movie about the time his best comic book got stolen.
You know you've "made it" when the media widely reports on both the theft and eleven-years-later recovery of your favorite comic book. Which is exactly what happened to Nic Cage and his beloved Action Comics No. 1, featuring the first appearance of Superman. And now that odd tale will become a heist comedy courtesy of Lionsgate and Reno 911! creators Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant. The sad part is, despite the Cage role being written for Cage, he probably won't join the project. Oh well. You know what they say — always squander a perfect opportunity to get everyone to maybe take you seriously again and laugh with you rather than at you.

Buyers Guide for 10 Best RC Cars To Purchase in 2018 written by: Hope Favor With the technology advancing at a rapid rate, electronic gadgets are becoming more popular. Radio controlled cars, also known as RC cars, have gained popularity over the years. Even though they have been around for quite some time, the current RC cars are developed with an advanced technological touch. When you are out looking for the best RC cars, you need to be sure to choose one that will last for long enough and serve the user as expected.
It can be daunting to go through the multiple RC cars on the market. Nonetheless, here are some of the top RC car reviews to help you have an easy time when shopping.
10 Best RC Cars To Buy Today – 2018
10. Redcat Racing Shockwave Nitro RC Car
This RC car has been designed to run on different platforms, including off-road terrains. It comes with a powerful nitro vertex engine of 2.67cc, along with aluminum capped shocks and composite disc brakes. With these features, this car can go through a rough platform {thanks to the four-wheel capabilities}.
Also, the car needs some professionalism when controlling it mostly because the construction is somewhat delicate. Another downside is that the engine will overheat after a while.

9. Maisto 1967 Ford Mustang RC Car
The design of this RC car is impressive, and it has been developed for both beginners and professional drivers. It comes with a dashboard design controller with several frequencies. The car has been designed on a scale of 1:24, and it also has some authentic modification and styling.
The controller includes a forward-reverse and left-right steering. Keep in mind that you'll need to have four AA batteries, two for the controller and two for the vehicle.
8. Midea Tech Lamborghini Sesto Elemento RC Car
This is one of the top RC cars for children over six years. The design and finish are appealing, though it consumes a lot of power. You will need to purchase five AAA batteries for the vehicle, and a 9V battery for the remote control. Luckily, it is already assembled and ready to run.
The front wheel alignment is adjustable, and the rims are rubber-wrapped. This helps to protect them against damage and boost the overall durability of the tires. The rubber tires also stabilize the car and limit skidding when making corners. The size is on a 1:14 scale.
7. GPTOYS Luctan S912 RC Car
This is one of the off-road RC cars you would want to consider purchasing. The design itself is meant for off-road cruising. It comes with a brush 390 motor that can reach a top speed of 33 mph. What's more, the car is waterproof, which means your kid can enjoy cruising in water and mud without any worries.
The tires are also rugged and skid resistance, which makes the car extra stable at top speed. The S-truck suspension helps to stabilize the control and handling. It can be controlled within 100 meters, which makes it even more enjoyable and easy for your kid. You'll need to purchase two AA batteries to run the vehicle. It is among the best RC cars for the money, since it performs decently on the tracks.
6. AMOSTING S911 Monster Truck
This stands among the top RC cars on the market, thanks to its large size and decent performance. The car runs on a large GP 390 brush motor, and can reach a top speed of 33mph. It features some metal parts that enhances the durability. This way, your kid can cruise off-road and have his truck still in good condition. In addition, the tires are made of rubber, and they have foam inserts that stabilize the vehicle when moving. The vehicle is partially waterproof, meaning that the delicate parts will be protected in the rain or a splash.
Nonetheless, it is important to keep the car clean and dry whenever your kid is done racing. This will help to boost its performance and enhance the durability further. The vehicle features the S-Truck suspension technology for better control and handling when on a rough terrain.
5. Redcat Racing EPX Drift RC Car
This is one of the leading RC Cars developed by Redcat Racing. It has a body size of 1:10, which is a decent size for your child. The vehicle is controlled by a 2.4GHz radio, which runs on 8 AA batteries. Other than that, it comes with oil-filled shocks that are aluminum capped for extra strength. Also, the body is made from high-quality polycarbonate. You can either choose between the three colors, including metallic blue, orange, or black Lamborghini themes. The vehicle is not just strong, but also fast enough.
The drift of the vehicle is notable, and it turns around corners with ease as well. It runs on a 2000mAh battery, which doesn't last for long enough. Also, this battery takes almost eight hours to charge completely. That is one major drawback of the vehicle. The best part is that it is affordable, and you will not have to set it up once you receive it. Other than that, this vehicle has a top speed of about 23mph, which is not bad for a radio controlled car.
4. Holy Stone 2962A Lambo Veneno Diecast RC Car
This radio controlled car comes with an appealing design, along with an elegant performance. The body is made from a strong plastic that delivers the glossy look. It comes in a 1:14 scale size, which is perfect for kids over the age of 6. This car doesn't come with a turn-off option. Nonetheless, it has the demo mode, which is almost similar to the stand-by mode. When on the demo mode, you can move the vehicle forward, backward, or even turn it to any side. The battery is powerful enough to run for a maximum of 30 minutes on a continuous drive. On the other hand, you will need to charge it for about five hours. The control distance is 30 meters, which is fair enough. You can still purchase extra batteries for better performance and limited interruption.
What makes this vehicle among the best RC cars is that it has a controller with an inbuilt gravity sensor. The controller can turn or move the car in any direction with ease. Also, it is quite responsive, and you will not have difficulty controlling it. It comes with LED rear lights and headlights. The doors open automatically, and it has a unique engine sound.
3. Maisto Rock Crawler Extreme RC Car
As the name suggests, this is one of the favorite RC cars for an off-road experience. This vehicle will literally go over rocks and rough terrains with ease. It has three motors, which makes it a top performer among other RC cars. These motors help to enhance the functionality of the vehicle. One motor is for steering, while the remaining two are for driving. For that, you can expect the car to cruise any rough terrain easily. Even with the three motors, this RC car is lightweight and easy to operate.
It also has rear and front suspensions for stable control on off-road platforms. Another thing that makes this vehicle among the best is that it can be paired with other Miasto RC cars. The transmitter has three channels that let three people connect to play simultaneously. The vehicle runs on six AA batteries and 3 AAA batteries for the transmitter.
2. Traxxas Rustler RC Car
This is not just a radio controlled car made by a leading company in the industry. It is also one of the leading RC cars for the money. The vehicle comes with a 1:10 scale size, and it has been developed with an advanced touch of technology. Other than that, the Traxxas 7407 RC Car runs on a powerful Velineon 3500 brushless motor. It is also a four-wheel drive car that can go easily through rough terrains. Whether your kid wants to drive it on the pavement or off-road platforms, the car will still deliver its best performance.
It is waterproof, so it can cruise through mud, snow, rain, or water without breaking down. Above all, this beast hits a top speed of 40mph. You can also insert the extra 3-cell power Cell LiPo battery, which reaches a top speed of 60mph. Even though it is expensive, this vehicle is powerful, and can also be controlled by a smartphone.
1. Midea Tech Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sports RC Car
This is a car that has featured in most of the RC car reviews, and it comes with an excellent design and an amazing performance. The color itself is appealing enough, and the car has a 1:14 scale size. The vehicle is easy to control, which is an added advantage. All that is needed for the car to run is to place the batteries, and you will be ready to go. The car has a flat design to go under furniture with ease.
The radio controller is fully-functional, and the car can be moved in any direction. One great feature that will surely amaze your kid is how the car sparks when in reverse. Also, your son can play with it in the house without producing high sounds. It has a minimal sound that is friendly to the house. Since it is flat and low, this car should not be driven outside or on off-road terrains.
Commonly Asked Questions On RC Cars
What Is The Difference Between Nitro And Electric RC Cars? Which Is The Best?
Electric radio controlled cars depend on batteries to run. The batteries could be inbuilt or the regular replaceable AA or AAA batteries. Also, electric cars will come with either brushless or brushed motors. Brushless motors tend to be more powerful than brushless motors.
On the other hand, nitro RC cars run on fuel that contains nitromethane. Also, the nitro RC cars will have extra components like glow plugs, air filters, carburetors, flywheels, crankshafts, pistons, and clutches. With the nitro engine, they will circulate heat all around the vehicle.
On paper, nitro RC cars tend to overpower the electric engines, mostly because they can cruise for long without running out of power. Nonetheless, the current brushless motors and LiPO batteries that run on electric RC cars have proven to be faster than the nitro RC cars. Though the nitro engine delivers a chilling sound that is unmatched.
Is There A Difference Between A Remote Controlled Car and A Radio Controlled Car?
There is actually no difference between the two. They both are controlled by a wireless controller that transmit its signals via an antenna. However, the radio transmitters will communicate to the cars via radio frequencies. Other than that, there is no any specific difference.
What Do The Numbers 1/10, 1:14, 1/28 Mean?
These are scale sizes of the RC cars in the box compared to the real vehicle. So if the RC car is on a 1:14 or 1/14, it means that the model car in the box is 14 times smaller than the real car. The bigger the denominator {second number}, the smaller the RC vehicle in the box.
Which Is The Best RC Car For A Beginner?
Ideally, you should go for a car that is strong enough to withstand crashes. Also, the best RC car for a beginner is that which has an internal transmission to protect the gears from dirt and damage. For instance, you can go for an electric 1/10 off-road truck that is also easy to control. Take your time to go through the RC car reviews before you decide to buy them.
Does brand matters when buying an RC car?
Yes, you should always go for vehicles from reputable brands. This assures you of the best RC cars, which have an official license by the model car brand {like Lamborghini or Bugatti}. Also, a recognized will have a manual to guide you how to use/assemble the car accordingly. You can also enjoy a return policy from top brands. Whether it is the best RC cars for the money or the cheapest, always ensure that you choose a reliable vehicle.

They might not look like much, but there's more than meets the eye here.
Wouldn't it be awesome if these showed up again?
If you're a young driver looking for cheap speed, you'll want to learn about the L67.
For $40,000, this could be a great budget sports sedan.
With local manufacturing going away, Holden's new race car adopts the face from GM's global selection.
Because sometimes you want to fly under the radar.
With a 3.6-liter V6 and Buick's clever torque-vectoring all-wheel drive, this could be a genuinely fun sports sedan.
With consecutive VINs, these cars have only driven a collective 1399 miles.
The European-market Opel Sports Tourer will be the basis for a new Buick wagon, and gosh it looks good.
The official car of "I cut out a newspaper article I want you to read."
This is the new Opel/Vauxhall Insignia / Holden Commodore Grand Sport, but it's also the next Buick Regal.
It's far from factory-stock, but it combines two of GM's best 1980s cars with 500 horsepower.
Way back in 1987, we knew the GNX would become seriously collectable. Did we dream one could sell for $165,000, though? Maybe.
Despite the buzz the Camaro-based coupe created, Buick has no plans to build it.
Just because an automaker builds a great car, it doesn't automatically mean people will buy it. And that's unfortunate.
An incredibly elegant surprise from Buick, packing a Camaro chassis and 400 horsepower.
Well, this is a very intriguing rumor.
Does this mean the 2017 Buick LaCrosse will come with a drift mode?
Cars most likely populating a junkyard near you.
Not every performance car has to be built on a dedicated platform. Sometimes awesome cars start out as something much less exciting.
According to the national average.

Two industry leaders have come together to create a new partnership bringing customers even more renewable energy choices.
Caplor Energy and Eco Save UK, two industry leaders, have come together to create a new partnership bringing customers even more renewable energy choices.
Caplor Energy, specialists in solar PV and renewable heating, have long been advocates of employing the expertise of like-minded companies to promote renewable energy to a wider audience.
Providing commercial scale renewable systems such as solar PV, Caplor Energy aims to help businesses to raise their 'green credentials' and save money in the process, by taking advantage of a resource that is free and totally sustainable – the sun.
Solar panels work by turning photons from the sun into electricity, transferring it into AC current for use in the home. Any access energy left unused is then returned to the grid, where it is stored for use by the utility company.
Caplor Energy recognises that generally, perception of having solar panels installed is skewed by the potential cost, but is keen to educate businesses of all sizes that technology has been advancing in green energy at a lightening pace, and costs have come down significantly in recent years. The investment more than pays for itself providing an average return on investment of around 12-16%.
Caplor Energy also believes strongly in investing in the community; rather than focussing on profit, it instead concentrates on social, environmental and economic aims in order to reduce the volume of emissions, and replace with renewable energy sources, which is why the Shropshire-based Eco Save UK seems like a natural partnership.
Both Eco Save UK and Caplor Energy have what some might see as an unusual business ethic, in that they both have a passion for giving to the community and the environment rather than simply making a profit. Eco Save UK is registered as a Community Interest Company, meaning that they are a non-profit company. Any profits made by Eco Save UK are invested back into local good causes and charities.
Specialising in LED lighting and energy purchasing, Eco Save UK strive to save their customers money with green energy initiatives and numerous alternative strategies through several other energy efficient technologies. LED lighting can save between 50%-75% of traditional lighting, as well as drastically reducing the impact of CO2 emissions – a cause that has always been at the heart of Caplor Energy.
In line with their cause, Eco Save UK offer a self-funding finance option where monthly savings pay for LED Lighting, as well as a local grant offering up to 40% towards the LED Lighting subject to terms and eligibility. Due to their ability to purchase energy up to 2 years in advance, Eco Save UK have already saved their customers thousands of pounds by keeping up with current trends in the energy market, and monitoring prices on a daily basis. Customers can choose from green, mixed, and brown tariffs, which accommodates all business tariffs, across all suppliers. They also offer group purchasing schemes, as well as a unique reverse tender option that all but guarantees the best price.
As with Caplor Energy, Eco Save UK seeks to clean up the energy procurement market, through providing transparency in what they offer, and through educating energy providers and the wider business community about sustainable methods.
Within the partnership, customers can expect a professional service, with the experience and knowledge of two highly respected green energy experts. Along with the key benefits of becoming self-sufficient for electricity, saving on energy bills, and helping to save the environment by reducing CO2 emissions, customers can be assured of receiving a free site survey, and a full, honest analysis of energy requirements in order to give the best possible, tailor made system.

Worship leaders are adrift in a sea of worship resources, but, incredibly, no single book provides a simple introduction to worship and worship leading. Essential Worship is a concise, easy-to-read primer on the basics of worship theology and practice. Each concept is introduced clearly and concisely. Diagrams, charts, and bulleted lists make the information easy to digest. And preparation and reflection questions help readers apply the material to their own church context.
Whether one is a beginner or an experienced worship leader, readers from all traditions will find in this resource a solid foundation for future success. It is particularly well-suited for the first-time worship or praise band leader, as well as for pastors who want to be more intentional about the music in their services.
If you're just starting out in music, or going to Bible College for music and worship ministry, this book is the perfect book to have. It is essentially, a thorough review of everything you need to know about worship ministry. It was like reading through my college textbooks again. This book was super helpful in reminding me of why I majored in music and worship and why its so important.
While you don't need a degree to lead worship this book does provide a good layout for your ministry to run effectively. I gave this a 5 out of 5 stars because I think its exactly what worship leaders need to have on their shelves. Its definitely a book you should keep in your personal library!
While I was hoping for something new this book was definitely needed!
*Disclaimer: I received this book from Baker Books to read and review*
Much love,

If you saw someone who looked exactly like you, how freaked
out would you actually be? Enough so that music recalling Hitchcock films starts
playing in the background? Would you immediately leap to some wildly sinister
conclusion or would you take a minute, calm down, and do something more
commonsensical, like have a serious question and answer session with your mom? In
his muddled identity-thriller, Enemy,
Denis Villeneuve chooses the overwrought, panicky direction, which makes this
ambitious film go haywire.
Enemy starts at a
dark sex club but quickly enters daylight to become the story of Adam, a
college professor who watches a B-movie and spots a moderately
successful actor, Anthony, who looks just like him. Both men are played with eloquent
subtlety and the same beard by Jake Gyllenhaal, but you can easily tell them
apart because Anthony wears a wedding ring.
Shot in Toronto among boxy, nondescript high-rises, the film
offers a suitably gray, overcast backdrop for Adam's often ludicrous actions.
It makes sense that he'd track down his double. It makes no sense that, already
suspicious, he'd agree to meet the man alone at a hotel an hour out of town.
The Adam-Anthony pair echo much better films with doubles, including
the twins in David Cronenberg's Dead
Ringers and the fake doubles of Vertigo,
a pointed influence. Both men are in love with Hitchcock blondes who vaguely
resemble each other. (Adam's girlfriend is played by Melanie Laurent, Anthony's
wife by Sarah Gadon.) As the men play cat-and-mouse with each other, the
ominous music and style lead us to expect some jaw-dropping Vertigo-like explanation, although the
story leaves open other possibilities:
that one of the men is imagining the other; that they were separated at birth.
When Adam finally gets around to visiting his mother,
(Isabella Rossellini, so he must take after dad) we see just how much the film is a story of identity, as the
trajectory suddenly swerves closer to Kafka than Hitchcock.
I admired Villeneuve's Middle-Eastern family drama, Incendies. His Prisoners (filmed after but released before Enemy, which may tell you something) with Gyllenhaal and Hugh
Jackman, elevated the revenge drama far beyond what it usually is. But while Gyllenhaal is reliably strong here,
Villeneuve's usual strength — clarity in
the midst of ambiguity — deserts him.
Enemy is the kind
of film that relies on misdirection and leaves you feeling not stunned, just
The film is based on Jose Saramago's The Double (2002). Saramago won the Nobel Prize for Literature in
1998, but The Double is not
considered one of his stronger works. Despite its serous intentions, Enemy is not one of Villeneuve's.
This interview with Gyllenhaal, for The Playlist, explains
the film a lot better than the film explains itself. Gyllenhaal is so lucid, in
fact, his comments would be close to spoilers, except that Villeneuve leaves
all possible readings open.

Parents are advised to check their children's bicycle helmets after a widespread recall involving popular models sold at Walmart and Amazon.com.
Bell Sports of Scotts Valley, California is recalling 33,600 of its Bell Exodus full-face helmets with a plastic buckle on the chinstrap. The defective bike helmets have an angled visor and were sold in multiple colors in youth size. They were sold at Walmart stores and Amazon.com for $50 to $60 between August 2009 and March 2011.
The helmets pose a head injury hazard in the event of bike accident. The plastic buckle that connects the chin straps can fail and cause the helmet to fall off the person's head, leaving them unprotected in bicycle accidents. The company has received one report of a buckle failing, resulting in a personal injury that required facial stitches.
Some 31,100 of the defective bike helmets were sold across Massachusetts and the United States. Another 2,500 helmets were sold in Canada.
Consumers are advised to stop using the helmets immediately. Click here to view a list of the recalled model numbers.

Honda Becomes Official Vehicle of the NHL
3-year sponsorship supports hockey in the U.S. and Canada
American Honda Motor Co., Inc., Honda Canada, Inc., and the National Hockey League (NHL) have entered into a 3-year agreement naming Honda as the official vehicle of the NHL, the companies announced today. Elements of the agreement include Honda sponsorship of NHL television and Internet coverage along with active participation at NHL events in both the United States and Canada, such as NHL Face-Off Rocks 2008, NHL Winter Classic and NHL All-Star Weekend.
With more than 53 million fans in the United States and Canada, the NHL is a big part of the sports landscape in North America, said Steve Center, vice president of advertising and public relations for American Honda. Honda has a long history of supporting sports at all levels worldwide, and working with the NHL will give Honda a great opportunity to become an even bigger part of the hockey experience.
This partnership integrates the leading brand in the automotive industry with the strength, momentum and excitement of the NHL brand, said Keith Wachtel, the NHLs senior vice president of corporate sales and marketing. We are excited to have Honda as part of every major NHL platform while strengthening partnerships with NHL member clubs.
The 3-year agreement with the NHL includes provisions for advertising on NHL.com and during game broadcasts, camera-visible signage during games and events, on-site displays of Honda vehicles at select events, and much more. Honda began its involvement with hockey when it became the presenting sponsor of the Honda Center, home of the Anaheim Ducks, in 2006.
About the NHL
The National Hockey League, founded in 1917, is the second-oldest of the four major professional team sports leagues in North America. Today, the NHL consists of 30 Member Clubs, each reflecting the Leagues international makeup, with players from more than 20 countries represented on team rosters. According to a Simmons Market Research study, NHL fans are younger, more educated, more affluent, and access content through digital means more than any other sport. The NHL entertains more than 100 million fans each season in-arena and through its partners in national television (VERSUS, NBC, TSN, CBC, RDS, RIS, NASN, ASN and NHL Network) and radio (Westwood One, Sirius XM Radio and XM Canada). Through the NHL Foundation, the Leagues charitable arm, the NHL raises money and awareness for Hockey Fights Cancer and NHL Youth Development, and supports the charitable efforts of NHL players.
