The next MERCAZ Israel Advocacy Training Seminar in its new 1-day format will be taking place Sunday, June 1, at Temple Beth Sholom in Elkins Park, PA. The conference is being run in conjunction with the MidAtlantic Regions of the Federation of Jewish Men's Clubs and Women's League for Conservative Judaism. For information and registration, contact Leonard Abrams, President MAR FJMC, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Join the Conservative Yeshiva's "Volunteer & Study Program", in conjunction with Skilled Volunteers for Israel, for its Fall "Tikkun Olam" Tikkun Ha'aretz" session, October 29 to November 13, 2014.

Thanks to a generous donation from Australia, the Masorti Movement has announced the opening of the Shirley Lowy Center for Children and Youth with Disabilities, a framework that will bring under one roof all of the movement's various programs for special needs, including the Bar and Bat Mitzvah Program for Children with Disabilities, Camp Ramah/NOAM's Netaim Program, its new integrated batei midrash and other egalitarian Jewish activities. For more information about the new center and its programs, contact the Masorti Foundation's office, 212-870-2216 or email@example.com.
The Israeli government is now looking for ways to stop the El Ad (City of David Foundation) from taking control of the new "Egalitarian Kotel" following the protest raised by the Conservative and Reform Movements in Israel and in North America that condemned the announcement made earlier in the year of the planned transfer of the entire area on the southern side of the Western Wall, including Robinson's Arch, to the private organization which currently manages the Ir David National Park.
As the joint Conservative/Reform letter reads: "It is infuriating and unacceptable to find that while this negotiation [over the establishment of a site at the Kotel for egalitarian and pluralistic prayer] was going on, other negotiations were taking place to put us under the authority of a group with a right wing Orthodox religious point of view." Click here to read the entire joint letter.
MKs from both sides of the aisle, from both the government coalition and the opposition, have come together to propose a new national Israeli holiday, Aliyah Day, as a way to reaffirm immigration as a core principle of the State of Israel. The legislation, which follows on similar attempts in the last Knesset, was originally written by two "Anglo" immigrants: Jay Shultz, founder to TLV Internationals, and Jonathan Javor, who is working for Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai.
The date chosen for the new holiday, the 10th of Nisan, has several Biblical connections. First of all, as taught in the Book of Exodus, the preparations for the Passover sacrifice were to begin on the 10th of Nisan with the selection of the animals that would be offered on the late afternoon of the 14th of the month. Secondly, the 10th of Nisan, according to the Book of Joshua, was the date on which the Israelites crossed the Jordan River into the Promised Land.
In this way, aliyah, as represented by the selection of the Paschal sacrifice and the entrance of the Children of Israel from the eastern side of the Jordan, is the necessary precondition to national liberation and self-realization.
According to the bill, Aliyah Day will "realize the value and supreme importance of aliyah in the past, present and future to the strengthening of Isarel from within, as the foundation of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state and in the creation and development of a multicultural society that shares a common language, with a shared history and united future."
The effort to establish Aliyah Day comes as initial figures for North American Aliyah for 2013 which had seemed to show an 11% drop in immigration have been revised to reveal a small increase in aliyah from the United States and Canada in 2013 over the previous year. The new figures from the Ministry of Aliyah and Immigrant Absorption now show 3,504 North American immigrants in 2013 vs. 3,389 in 2012.
At the same time, Nefesh B'Nefesh, the organization tasked with promoting aliyah from the West, is not wasting any time to achieve even higher results in 2014. It held a series of aliyah fairs earlier this Spring across North America, including an aliyah "mega event" in Times Square, featuring Immigration and Absorption Minister Sofa Landver.
The Times Square event allowed potential immigrants to meet with professionals from the Jewish Agency, universities, job placement organizations and business development programs. In addition, several mayors of cities included in the NBN "Go North" and "Go South" programs, which provide financial and other incentives for those interested in moving to Israel's periphery, participated. Click here for the four steps worth following if planning to make Aliyah.

The Bible, Moby-Dick, Paradise Lost, the poetry of William Wordsworth, and the historical narrative of Sam Chamberlain all contribute to the style and themes of this work that remains, in its own right, a provocative meditation on history, one that explores the very limits of narrative and human potential.

- 1. Introduction: five first lessons Game Theory (ECON 159) We introduce Game Theory by playing a game. We organize the game into players, their strategies, and their goals or payoffs; and we learn that we should decide what our goals are before we make choices. With some plausible payoffs, our game is a prisoners' dilemma. We learn that we should never choose a dominated strategy; but that rational play by rational players can lead to bad outcomes. We discuss some prisoners' dilemmas in the real world and some possible real-world remedies. With other plausible payoffs, our game is a coordination problem and has very different outcomes: so different payoffs matter. We often need to think, not only about our own payoffs, but also others' payoffs. We should put ourselves in others' shoes and try to predict what they will do. This is the essence of strategic thinking. Complete course materials are available at the Open Yale Courses website: open.yale.edu This course was recorded in Fall 2007.

Bitcoin Crashes As Chain-Split Risks Increase
Bitcoin fell below $1,900 today, from around $2,600, as the fast approaching August 1st deadline nears, seemingly considerably increasing uncertainty among traders and investors.
The currency has been experiencing a downtrend for much of June and July, falling from around $3,000 to just above $1,900 at the time of writing, with the downwards price movement seemingly accelerating in the past few days.
The main reason is probably because the currency's more than two years long debate is to reach a conclusion on August the 1st when bitcoiners decide which way they are to go and how.
The picture is complex and confusing with many clients vying for the bitcoin brand, but they can largely be classified under the small blocks and big blocks umbrella with a third, middle of the way, segwit2x "compromise."
On the small blocks end, there is Bitcoin Core and UASF which aim to activate segwit, but their relationship to segwit2x is not clear, with some suggestions they may be incompatible and might chain-split, while others suggest they would be in consensus.
We tried to speak to Jeff Garzik, the lead maintainer of the new segwit2x client, to gain some clarity on the relationship between segwit2x and Bitcoin Core, but have received no response at the time of writing.

Have you ever wondered what do the names of the days mean and how this differs in different languages? If so, this post is for you. We could say that many of the names they get in several languages come from astronomical objects or deities from the past.
In Latin, Monday was the day of the Moon: dies Lunae. Tuesday was dies Martis, the day of Mars. Then there was dies Mercurii (Mercury), dies Iovis (Jupiter), dies Veneris (Venus), dies Saturni (Saturn), and dies Solis (day of the Sun). Later on, with the arrival of Christianity, dies Solis was called dies Dominicus, the day of the Lord; and with Judaism dies Saturni changed to the Hebrew shabbath. The names of these planets were also the names of the Roman gods, so here we have both astronomical objects and deities. Romanic languages have very similar terms because they all come from Latin. Therefore, we have the Spanish names: Lunes, martes, miércoles, jueves, viernes, sábado and domingo; the French: lundi, mardi, mercredi, jeudi, vendredi, samedi and dimanche; the Italian: lunedì, martedì, mercoledì, giovedì, venerdì, sabato and Domenica. Portuguese is an exception for this rule, since its terms have no relation to the Latin names and follow a different structure. They start with Sunday, which is Domingo, following the other Romanic languages, but then Tuesday is segunda-feira (second day), and following this structure: terça-feira, quarta-feira, quinta-feira, sexta-feira, to finish the week with Sabado.
Germanic languages use variations of Proto-Germanic and Old Norse terms. The English Monday comes from mondæg, or monandæg, day of the moon. Tuesday, Tiwesdæg, was the day of Tiwaz, or Týr, a god of the Germanic pantheon which, curiously enough, is similar to Mars, the Roman god after which Tuesday is named. Wednesday, Wodnesdæg, was the day of Woden, who is better known as Odin. Thursday comes from Old Norse Þorsdagr, which was the day of Thor. Friday was also named after the goddess of love, like Venus, but in this case it was the Germanic version: Frig, and the Old English name was Frigedæg. Saturday and Sunday come from the same root that the Latin counterparts, Sæterdæg and Sunnandæg, meaning day of Saturn and day of the Sun respectively.
However, the North-Germanic languages do not call Saturday the day of Saturn, even if they share the same roots that the English names. Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and Icelandic share the origin of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. But when it comes to Saturday they keep the Old Norse root, which has an interesting origin. The ancient Scandinavians had the habit of bathing, washing, and grooming themselves every Saturday. For this reason Saturday was called Laugardagur, day of bathing. From this word come the Swedish lördag, the Norwegian and Danish lørdag, and the Icelandic Laugardagur, which is the same word as in Old Norse because Icelandic has remained very similar as to how Scandinavians used to speak 1000 years ago.
Another trend to name the days is after the five elements, which is how they are in Japanese and Korean. In Japanese we have the symbols of the words Sun (日), Moon (月), Fire (火), Water (水), Tree/Wood (木), Gold/Metal (金), and Earth (土) in the Japanese days of the week: 月曜日 Getsuyōbi, 火曜日 Kayōbi, 水曜日 Suiyōbi, 木曜日 Mokuyōbi, 金曜日 Kin'yōbi, 土曜日 Doyōbi, and 日曜日 Nichiyōbi. Chinese used to have these same words (although with a different pronunciation) but nowadays they use a different system. They use the word 星期 xīngqī, which means "star period" and start counting: Monday is star period one (星期一), Tuesday is star period two (星期二) and so on, until Sunday, where we find again the symbol for "sun" or "day": 星期日 xīngqīrì.
I think that it is very interesting to see how cultures that apparently have no relation do share the same roots in their words for the days, or that they named them after the same gods, even if adapting it to their own pantheon. There is, of course, more languages and linguistic families where there are for sure more content to analyze, but this is all for today. I hope you enjoyed this walk through etymology as much as I did.

SHILOH, Ill. — Ken Bone has voted, but he's not revealing his choice for president.
The mustachioed, IZOD red sweater-wearing Bone became an internet sensation after the second presidential debate. The Belleville News-Democrat reports Bone stood in line about 30 minutes Tuesday morning to vote at a church in the village of Shiloh, Illinois.
Bone did several interviews while in line to vote, including one with a Canadian radio station and another with the BBC. He wasn't wearing his red sweater, opting instead for a blue vest over a gray shirt.
He says he's keeping his choice private because he'd rather emphasize the importance of getting to the polls.
Meanwhile, IZOD is running a spot called "Ken Bone's Fifteenth Minute" in which Bone encourages people to "get out and vote. Get out and make your voice heard. It's all about being part of the political process."
IZOD is promoting the hashtag #MyVote2016 on Twitter that also features a emoji of Bone in his famous red sweater.

"Money talks, it's just mine always says goodbye."
Funny but true. That's for sure what my money has been saying, and I'm one of the fortunate. My husband makes good money, and I work part-time as a nurse, also making good money, but we still can't seem to save anything. We are not big spenders. My walk-in closet is moderately filled with our combined clothes, and I rarely spend more than $20 for a pair of shoes. I hunt out my heels at TJ Maxx or check the sales racks.
I think our biggest money goes to vacations. We have a small camper and we go a couple of weeks a year on vacations with it. Even so, camping is not an expensive way to vacation.
I just returned to buying my animals generic food, which makes me feel guilty that I'm not getting them the best, but it's all in perspective. When I was in Ecuador I got my first dog a week after I was married. We traveled maybe once a month to buy groceries and visit my husband's family, and I would buy dog food for her. Dogfood for your dog is a luxury down there. Most dogs are fed scraps left over from people, if there are any.
Anyway, the whole point of the story is that I will be working more come fall when both my girls will be in school full time. I will still write. Now that I've started I'm addicted, but I'll have to find a balance for it. That being said, I'm ending my pitiful attempt at a Writers Workshop. It crashed and burned anyway, so before I completely fall off of the blogger radar, it was time to pull the plug. Thank you to the people who supported the idea.

Urgh! Money. I so hear you on that one.ReplyDelete
Sometimes it takes awhile to figure out how your blog will work and what you want to write/share about. I know mine did. So I hope you keep experimenting and find what works for you.Replies
I know it's been a trial and error thing for me, but I have fun, so I'll hang around. Thanks for stopping by!Delete
Oh no! What did I miss! I've been off blogesphere for a week! Just catching up. Finding the balance is something I work on every day, LOL... I'm pretty obsessed with writing right now... and those pictures are beyond adorable... makes me think of my childhood!ReplyDeleteReplies
Don't worry! You didn't miss anything! Glad you're getting a lot of writing done. At least that makes one of us :) I'm still trying to get my balancing act perfected.Delete
Balancing is hard and our balance is constantly changing depending on what is influencing our lives right now. Sometimes we need to focus on one thing sometimes another. I hope the added hours work well for you but I hope you stick around here too. Those pics are adorable and if I lived closer I'd probably want to adopt it. We only have one cat right now. He's older and I miss kittens.ReplyDeleteReplies
There are always cats in plentiful supply in our shelter. I get my kitty fixes by fostering and this is the fourth cat I've had so far.Delete
I will still keep blogging, just not quite so much. Thanks for visiting!
Hi Honey, totally understand. I sent you an e-mail, hopefully you got it. And those pictures are so gosh darn CUTE! (:ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks! And yes, I did get your email.Delete
I never tire of gratuitous cute kitty pics. They are adorable. Sorry to hear about your writer's workshop, but it sounds like you may have done the right thing. There's no sense making things difficult for yourself. You have to enjoy what you do.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for your comment. Glad you enjoyed the pictures!Delete
Cute pics. I hope everything works out ok and you still manage to blog occasionally. Your attempt at writers workshop was excellent - I thought you did very well with it. Hope you can find that balance. CheersReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you. I needed to hear that!Delete

I understand where you're coming from, Honey. I was never too good at blogging on a specific schedule or topic. So now I just blog freestyle. It works out better with my personality. I hope all works out for you, and please KEEP writing. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
I started at 3 times a week but I think once will be just right. We'll see. I'm still morphing into a blogger and I've changed so many times I'm probably making people dizzy!Delete
Well, compromise is always good. The animals will be fine with generic, and you'll learn what works best for you in the blogging world, and the world will turn. I don't know if it has to compromise, but then it's very big.ReplyDeleteReplies
It's all good, and you're right, the world goes on turning. My animals will be fine, as they were before I was guilt-tripped into buying expensive food.Delete
I'm still a morphing blogger and it's been 5-ish years? I keep changing, too. Eh. It's the creativity in us. I LOVE the gratuitous cutey kitty pics. And the funny quote about money always saying goodbye. Mine doesn't even have the decency to say hi first.ReplyDelete

For The Hercules pavilions outdoor restaurant we were commissioned by The Agency for Palaces and Cultural Properties, to make a pavilion directly linked to the existing one, which would include summer furniture during the winter, as well as freezers and other storage.
After an analysis of the site, we suggested that instead of making a building - directly linked to the existing - to work with an alternative solution.
As the building should not be used to stay within, we proposed instead a large storage bench that could contain all the m3 needed. In that way we got a volume that respected the beautiful old historic building, that was an asset to the garden all year round, and did not need waivers from the conservation authorities.
Here The Agency for Palaces and Cultural Properties initially proposed a building.
The new storage furniture meets the program, adds user value all year and respects the cultural and historical place.

It wasn't a genre but an organic human response to work and worship in the American South before electrification, when the air was stifling and the living was borderline feudal. But only in such a fiery furnace could something as immutable, hard and heavy as American blues and gospel be forged in the first place.

JAL Will Buy 30 Boeing 7E7s
Airline's Order Gives a Lift To Sluggish Sales Campaign Of Jet Maker's Dreamliner
Japan Airlines announced its intention to buy 30 Boeing 7E7s to replace older aircraft in its fleet, providing a big year-end boost for Boeing Co. and underscoring the rare enthusiasm that the next-generation jet has sparked among Japan's biggest carriers.
Boeing's list price for a 7E7 is $120 million, so the value of 30 firm orders at that price would be $3.6 billion. JAL, Japan's largest airline, said Wednesday that it has also taken options for an additional 20 of the planes. JAL's commitment comes at a crucial time for...

Find info concerning University of the Sciences agricultural science, registering in a technical degree program, and taking tests for free online. Engineering is one of the fastest-growing employment areas, for several strong reasons. As technical progress permeates industrial processes in manufacturing, food technology and agriculture, engineers are increasingly in demand. If you complete the agricultural science program, for example, there are a variety of concentrations that may appeal to you such as crop and soil science, agribusiness, or hydroponic production methods. Further, due to advances in agricultural science, there is a growing shortage of biotech graduates, and of skilled agricultural engineers in general. Please use the form above to request admissions info for University of the Sciences.
Agricultural biotechnology, and crop science in general, includes traditional cross-breeding techniques, trait selection, and genetic engineering in some cases. Biotech crops can make farming more profitable by increasing crop quality and may in some cases increase crop yields. According to the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), biotechnology crops as a percentage of total crop plantings in the USA were about 88 percent for corn, 94 percent for cotton, and 93 percent for soybeans. Herbicide-tolerant crops are particularly compatible with commercial agriculture systems that help preserve topsoil from erosion.
USDA researchers seek to solve major agricultural problems and to better understand the basic plant biology relating to agricultural science. This includes introducing new or improved traits in plants, animals, and microorganisms and creating new biotechnology-based products such as more effective diagnostic tests, improved farm animal vaccines, and better antibiotics. The USDA Economic Research Service (ERS) conducts research on the economic aspects of the use of genetically engineered plants, including the rate of adoption of biotechnology by farmers.

Electrical Engineering EECS
The field of power engineering deals with the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity. These include transformers, electric generators, electric motors, high voltage engineering, and power electronics. Electrical engineers maintain an electrical network called the power grid, that connects a variety of generators using high-voltage transmission lines. Signal processing relates to the analysis and manipulation of signals. Signals can be either analog, in which case the signal varies continuously, or digital, where the signal varies according to a series of discrete values. Control engineering applications range from flight systems of commercial airplanes to industrial automation. Where there is regular feedback, control theory can be used to determine how the system responds.

MISSION UNITED Testimonials
"I want to thank everyone involved with my legal case for their hard work and dedication. If not for the team of professionals, I would not have had the opportunity to resolve a great civil injustice to my wife and I. From the beginning, we were treated with respect and understanding. At no time were we discouraged to seek the proper legal defense, even though we had no funds to pay for a qualified attorney. I would recommend that all veterans who can't afford legal counsel to please take the time to visit your local United Way and Mission United. They will do anything in their power to assist you. My wife and I are proof of that."
- Veteran Client R.N.
"MISSION UNITED is a clearinghouse of opportunities for veterans like me. From the moment I walked through the doors, everyone was straightforward and direct in letting me know what my options were as it relates to employment. I would recommend all veterans who are looking for guidance stop in and learn their options."
- Veteran Client R.B.
"More than 4 months ago I lost my job and spent many hours online looking and searching for a job, filled out many applications but had no luck on landing a job. After 3 and half months of searching and filling out hundreds of applications for jobs I became desperate, stressed out and depressed I really thought this was the end of my life, was about to get evicted from my apartment, the electricity turned off including water, I was very close on becoming a homeless person and it was the worse feeling that I have felt in my whole life."
I had no gas money to go to the interviews, no clean clothes, I had not been able to afford to wash clothes for over a month, had no body soap or deodorant and have not had a haircut for months.
Mission United was there to help. I was given all these items plus a place to go and get a decent outfit (borrowed) for the interview. I was so relieved and ready to show them the thanks and proving to them that I could go thru this and get the job. MISSION UNITED paid for the four-day training and the state license fee required by the employer.
Thanks to United Way, MISSION UNITED and the Urban League working together it was possible for me to keep my apartment, get to the job interview and start to work, have gas money to get to work, pay the rent, electricity and water till a receive my first paycheck and be able to catch up with the bills then start to live once again a normal life."
- Veteran Client J.N.
"As members of Congress from a state with a large and thriving veteran population, we greatly commend MISSION UNITED for its work on behalf of Florida's veterans."
- Lois Frankel, Ted Deutsch, Alcee Hastings, Patrick Murphy, Debbie Wasserman Schultz
"MISSION UNITED is doing everything it can and more to help the transition. MISSION UNITED is not a want, it's a necessity"
- Veteran S.C.
"This year's Back to School event was just another example of the way our two teams work so well together to fulfill the mission of service to those who served. Our entire team wishes to express heartfelt appreciation for the tireless work conducted by the Mission United staff."

Secret Stash. You have found the secret stash, home to the best deals on the net, these are the best deals from a website of great deals, insane discounts on products we are trying to move out. These products won't last long so be sure to be quick on the trigger.
Anti-Fog Coating: This lens have an Anti-Fog coating on them to help prevent the goggles from fogging as to not ruin your day of skiing.
Polarized Lens: Polarized Lenses are designed to reduce glare caused by light reflected from polarizing surfaces such as snow. Polarized lenses are beneficial in all situations, but specifically useful in sunny, bright light.
Giro Lifetime Warranty: Yes, you read correctly. Giro stands by their product and will warranty any manufacturer's defects for the lifespan of the product. Pretty sweet deal, especially for goggles and helmets. Check out more here: http://www.giro.com/us_en/customer-service/snow-eyewear-glove-warranty/ for full details.
Vented Lens: There are vents cut into the lenses on top of the goggle to allow warm air to escape and further keep your goggles from fogging.
Spherical Lens: The lens of this goggle reduces the distortion of images because of the spherical shape. When a piece of plastic is flexed in one dimension, the images becomes tall and skinny, similar to beer goggles. But when plastic is formed into a spherical shape, the distortion is minimized.
Helmet compatible: The strap is longer to fit around helmets, as well as hats, without stretching it to the max. Helmet compatible goggles also try to place the adjustment clips off center to not interfere with goggle clips that are on the back of most helmets. The shape of the frame also sits well with most brands of helmets.
Grip strap: The strap on these goggles has a silicone band on the inside that grips helmets, hats, or hair so they don't slide around and fall off. It is so effective that it makes goggle clips on helmets obsolete.
Goggle bag: A soft cloth bag is included with these goggles to protect them from damage while traveling. The bags double as lens cleaners, but use very little pressure and its always a good idea to test in the corner of the lens before you figure out that the cloth is dirty and it just scratched up your nice goggles.
Optics by Carl Zeiss: With over 150 years of experience, Carl Zeiss is the authority in quality optics, and Giro continues to uphold the strictest standards in optical clarity thanks to lenses featuring Optics by Carl Zeiss Vision.

Tito F. Hermoso / Tito F. Hermoso | July 12, 2011 11:51
Cruise, Diesel-StyleMy journey with the Cruze began in Shanghai, back in the Spring of 2009 at the asphalt path of the Auto Museum grounds right next to Shanghai's F1 Circuit. It's a scenic park, not a test track, with trees, topiary and lakes; great for photos. Warned to drive below the 50km/h speed limit, the arched bridges were steep enough to get some undercarriage airborne shots while the security guards were looking the other way. The meandering park path presented some cornering opportunities too. Since the only traffic the path takes is the occasional gardening truck, the substrata hasn't fully settled. That and over irrigation of the surrounding park grass has caused the foundation to shift, exposing ruptures and fissures; perfect for bad pavement ride assessment. What would have been a dull stroll in the park, turned up some surprises.
Hoping with crossed fingers
At that time, we tried a lot of prototypes but it was the pep of the diesel that made a lasting impression. Unlike the Euro V asphyxiated petrol versions, we could power out the landscaped garden's curves with gusto in the diesel. At that time, exports to markets with diesel fuel not as clean as China's Euro IV standards were put on hold until GM's engineers could certify it. That meant exports to the Philippines had to wait.
Close to two years after the launch of The Covenant Car Company, coinciding with the launch of the Chevrolet Cruze, our market finally welcomed the 148 PS VCDi 2.0 liter. With a 6-speed auto, the VCDi is faster by 10 km/h over the 1.8-liter LT petrol variants, undercutting the 0-100km/h acceleration times by 1.6 seconds and achieving 19.23km/l during our highway economy test. Apart from the typical diesel low frequency thrumming at idle, its hard to distinguish refinement between this and its petrol sisters. Our test mule even had a power moonroof and cruise control. With its rapid reflexes and thrift, the VCDi doesn't suffer from blunted performance, making it genuinely desirable. Now the Focus TDCi has a genuine rival, and who would have thought ten years ago that in the compact segment, its the turbo diesels that deliver genuine high performance?
There's more
The Chevrolet Cruze, GM's entry into the Focus-i30-Altis-Civic world compact class is more than just a grown-up super-sized replacement of the Chevrolet Optra. It is better than class average interior surfaces indicates Chevrolet's showroom sales conquests will no longer be solely on price. Its dash is the equal of a concept show car Civic. It is a GM Delta II world car platform that is shared with Opel's Astra hatchback, though the Cruze's torsion beam rear axle does without Opel's Watts linkage. Typical of a 21st century Chevrolet, the Cruze comes with everything but the kitchen sink: roll-over stability control, ABS, traction control, multiple air bags, 17-inch alloy wheels (LT only), remote door locking, electric windows, climate control (LT) and rear park assist. The seats' French stitching, whether fabric (LS) or leather (LT), virtually eliminates seam stretch. The dashboard mid section has fabric trim (LS) or leather (LT) like the Opel Insignia and some mid-sixties Italian designer plushmobile. The aqua-blue lit four-dial instrument binnacle with radially arranged chronometer fonts and a trip computer, set in the Corvette's double cockpit style, is easy on the eye. The central video display screen, with its easy protocol, looks like it belongs in an upmarket Volvo.
The trade-off
The plethora of electronic goodies in today's compact cars also means that some parcel bins and spaces, especially in the central console, will be compromised for shape and volume. Compared to the petrol versions, the Cruze VCDi sounds more eager as the acoustic note of the gasoline engine does not motivate high rpm driving. Definitely, the petrols will hum unobtrusively and not grumble when asked to cruise with a full payload. For us, the VCDi's verve is worth having in exchange for some slight idling drumming.
Cruze givens
There's passenger space aplenty, fore and aft, plus 450 liters of trunk capacity. The seat cushions are quite firmly padded for long stretches behind the wheel. The ride on decent roads is more refined than the class average. Random bumps are taken in stride and muffled silence while a succession of multiple holes and ridges would require slowing down. Consistent with Chevrolet honesty, the Cruze's steering behavior and cornering poise allows some roll which will feel natural to most drivers. Predictable final understeer ultimately reins in drivers in need of more cornering practice sessions.
The right stuff?
Its underpinnings hew closer to the Altis, Sentra and Elantra. We used to say that the appeal of a Cruze petrol 1.8 is like a Toyota's; no nonsense ride, high quality feel and serene ambience. It won't poke tempers or rush adrenalin. The VCDi has given the Cruze line an exciting shot in the arm. With the Cruze VCDi, the Ford Focus TDCi is no longer alone in the performance diesel compact sedan segment. And in the compact car segment, you need to get to the level of Ralliart Mitsubishi's and WRX Subaru's if you want even more performance. But it won't come with the diesel's inherent thrift.

Denise Bibro Fine Art announces its upcoming exhibition, Iconic Vignettes, works by Thurston Belmer and Jack Rosenberg. One may wonder why match these two artists. Yet, on inspection, one can see that, although their works are distinctly different, they often reflect similar schools of thought and reference.
Both artists treasure the iconic images of their forebears and have cultivated their own way to present universal truths, dialogues, and stories. Despite the timelessness of the concepts, each finds a different way to interpret them with a contemporary twist. Their works are multi-layered aesthetically and conceptually. Often referring to iconic images of the Dutch Masters. Several works employ chiaroscuro and light; techniques frequently used by the Masters. In many cases these two contemporary artists depict their subjects in garments like those of the 15th to 17th centuries. Albeit their similarities, these two artists differ in the mood of their art. Whereas Belmer's work is often muted, mysterious, dark and introspective, Rosenberg's work is often mischievous, full of double-andante and humor.Thurston Belmer's Untitled #2, 2016 depicts a 15th century Dutch-like female caught in a moment of thought. While the Masters often depicted their figures in more intimate settings, Belmer's beautifully rendered lady is close upfront. This work, like most, deals with loss, alienation, and the absurd. As the artist says himself, "…the word absurd in the sense of the cultural movement—our search as humans to locate inherent, universal meaning, and our human inability to find any." Jack Rosenberg's, It Is Not What You Think, 2012 depicts a man, perhaps from the same era. It is possibly a subject of either someone else's or the artist's pranks. Rosenberg's language is layered with conceptual and perceptual revelations. Among Thurston Belmer's recent major exhibitions are: Governor's Island, NYC; Dacia Gallery, NYC; Salomon Arts Gallery, NYC; Central Booking Gallery, NYC; One Art Space, NYC; Dacia Gallery, NYC; The Hinge Gallery, Saint Louis, MO; University of New Haven, New Haven, CT. He studied at Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts, Kemper Museum of Art, Saint Louis, MO and Washington University in Saint Louis, MO, as well as other well-known institutions. He has been reviewed in Artefuse, Fine Art Connoisseur, Hyperallergic, Artribune, and International Painting Annual to name a few. Jack Rosenberg has numerous exhibitions, including solo and two-person exhibitions, at the Washington Arts, Washington, CT; Caelum Gallery, NYC; The Silo Gallery, New Milford, CT. He has also shown in numerous group exhibitions including most recently, Washington Art, Washington, CT; Jan Kossen Contemporary, NYC; Karlyn Mannix Contemporary, NYC. He has had notices in the New York Time, NYC; Litchfield County Times, Litchfield, CT; Housatonic Times, CT; East Hampton Star, LI, NYC among others. He studied at the, New York Academy of Art, NYC; Florence Academy of Art, Florence, Italy; and Prince Charles Drawing School, London, U.K.
