Don't let a flat tire stop you!
The Ride-On Motor Formula can be used for all tour/race/cross/endure/off-road motorcycles. The gel forms a coating layer on the tire tread that doesn't dry out but remains liquid and active for the entire lifespan of the tire. The formula contains corrosion inhibitors and doesn't affect tires and rims. It also stays exactly where it should, inside the tire, so no mess in the garage!
Why use Ride-On?
- Professionally tested and approved for thousands of motorbikes
- Balances tires with or without wheel weights
- Seals punctures in tube as well as tubeless tires
- Increases tire lifespan
- Biodegradable – non-hazardous – non-explosive
- Easy to install
- Easily removable with water
Unique: tire sealant and balancer in one
Ride-On Tire Protection is a unique sealant and balancing gel in one formula. Ride-On seals tires, keeps tire pressure optimal, prevents flat tires and balances. With Ride-On, you'll benefit from more safety, less inconvenience, reduced fuel costs and a longer tire lifespan.
Ride-On works with the centrifugal forces in the tire and seals the tire tread. This coating reduces porosity up to 500%, allowing tires to maintain their pressure much longer. This reduces rolling resistance and tire wear and lets tires last 25% longer.
The Ride-On gel contains aramid fibers which are six times stronger than steel. These fibers seal punctures permanently and within seconds, without noticeable pressure loss. The risk of a flat tire or blowout reduces significantly.
Ride-On also hydrodynamically balances the tire/rim combination, for optimal rolling resistance, more driving comfort and reduced fuel consumption. Wobbly tires are easily fixed without the need of extra balancing weights or powder.
Ride-On motor formula: Expert review
Installation Instructions
You'll need
- Air compressor
- Scissors
- Safety glasses
Step 1. Rotate the tire so that the valve stem is positioned at 4 or 8 o'clock
If there is a cap covering the valve stem, remove it.
Step 2. Remove the valve core
Place the provided valve core removal tool onto the valve and unscrew it by turning counterclockwise. This will allow you to remove the valve core and deflate the tire.
Step 3. Slide the provided hose onto the valve
Step 4. Place the hose onto the bottle
Take the cap off the Ride-On bottle. Cut the tip of the bottle at the indicated line so the gel can easily go through.
Attention: Make sure when you cut that the hose can still fit on the bottle tip.
Tip: If you prefer you can also place the bottle tip directly (without hose) on the valve.
Step 5. Squeeze the entire contents of the bottle into the tire.
Step 6. Use the compressor to put a bit of air into the tire
Injecting a short burst of air will clear the valve stem.
Step 7. Reinstall the valve core
Screw the valve core back in by turning it clockwise with the provided tool. Do not overtighten. Inflate the tire to the recommended pressure.
Tip: If you're not sure about the right pressure, this can often be found on a sticker on the inside of the car door, the fuel cap or your car's instruction manual.
Step 8. Repeat the steps for the other tires.
The tire is now successfully filled with Ride-On. Starting back at step 1, repeat the steps until all the tires have been treated.
When all tires have been successfully filled with Ride-On, it is time for the final step:
Step 9. Drive your vehicle so the Ride-On can spread evenly over the tire tread.
Drive 5 to 10 kilometers to allow Ride-On to spread sufficiently. You may experience a slight vibration at first, but this will wear off as you drive further and the formula spreads out.
Attention: Ride-On needs to be run in at every speed, so the vibrations may reoccur as you speed up. Eventually the Ride-On will coat the tires evenly and balance out.
If you have very large tires, we recommend you start off driving slowly. The Ride-On will need a bit more time to spread.

Frequently asked questions
What is Ride-On?
Ride-On Tire Protection is a high-tech tire sealant, developed to prevent flat tires, seal punctures and increase tire lifespan. Different from other sealants, Ride-On is a water-based gel which doesn't harden. Ride-On contains no glue or latex and is easily removable from tires. The product is safe for tires and rims thanks to corrosion inhibitors and lasts for the entire lifespan of the tire. The gel contains fibers which are pushed towards punctures by the centrifugal forces inside the tire and permanently seal them. Furthermore, Ride-On is the only sealant available that also hydrodynamically balances the tire/rim combination.
How does Ride-On work?
Ride-On seals 85-95% of all punctures on the tire tread caused by nails, screws, thorns, junk on the road – any sharp object up to 6.4 mm in diameter. Ride-On reduces the porosity of the tire by 500% and lowers the temperature, for less oxidation in the tire. Tires maintain proper pressure much longer and stay cooler, causing them to wear 25% less. With Ride-On, you'll benefit from a smooth ride, reduced fuel consumption, longer tire lifespan and more safety.
Who use Ride-On?
Ride-On has a long track record and has been used in the USA for years in any situation where a flat tire can have bothersome or dangerous consequences: the army, US Postal Service, police and fire department, construction companies, commercial fleets and more all rely on Ride-On. Also in Europe companies are discovering the benefits of Ride-On.
How can I remove Ride-On from my tires?
Ride-On is a water-based gel and can easily be removed with a water vacuum or moist cloth.
How does Ride-On balance tires?
Ride-On is a fluid and balances in a hydrodynamic way. The centrifugal forces in the tire move the gel around, creating an even layer that's thicker or thinner in the places where it is needed. The gel attaches to the tire and effectively resolves any imbalance. It works much the same way as balancing powders or -beads, with the added benefits of a sealant.
Does Ride-On work effectively in combination with other products?
It is not recommended to apply Ride-On to tires that already contain other sealants or balancing products.
Can Ride-On be used in combination with TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems)?
Ride-On is safe to use with TPMS, provided that they are hermetically sealed.
How does Ride-On realize fuel savings?
Fuel consumption is closely linked to rolling resistance and tire pressure. Even a small deviation from the recommended pressure can cause an increase in fuel consumption. By letting tires maintain their pressure longer as well as balancing them, Ride-On creates the optimal rolling resistance for a comfortable ride. Depending on driving style, Ride-On fuel savings are on average reduced by 3%.
How does Ride-On make tires last longer?
Tire wear is closely linked to rolling resistance and tire pressure. Even a small deviation from the recommended pressure can cause an increase in tire wear. By letting tires maintain their pressure longer as well as balancing them, Ride-On creates the optimal rolling resistance for less friction and less wear. Depending on driving style, Ride-On makes tires last 25% longer on average.
I removed an object from my tire, but the hole doesn't close. Why is that?
Ride-On contains fibers that seal the puncture. If the fibers are larger than the puncture itself, it may help to make the hole a bit bigger.
Did you drive the vehicle immediately after removing the object? Ride-On works best when tires are warmed and elastic. Drive 5-10 km for the best results.
If the object had been stuck in the tire for a long time, the rubber has taken the shape of the object and may take a while to bounce back. Driving and warming up the tires helps in this situation as well. Pay close attention to the tire pressure as you drive.
What happens to Ride-On when I don't drive my vehicle for a long time?
Ride-On is developed so that it attaches to the tire tread and stays there even when the vehicle is stationary for a long time. However, since Ride-On is a liquid, eventually some of it will pool in the bottom of the tire. You may experience light vibrations when you start driving again, but these will wear off as the Ride-On redistributes through the tire.
What happens when I take my tires off the rim?
The Ride-On gel attaches firmly to the inside of your tires. It stays where it should, even when you take the tires off the rim. No mess in the garage!
Does Ride-On repair all leaks?
Ride-On was developed to protect the tire tread from puncturing objects. Depending on the formula, the gel seals punctures from 3 mm to 12.5 mm in diameter.
Ride-On does not reach the shoulder of the tire and doesn't seal punctures in that area. Ride-On also doesn't repair rips or tears. If you notice damage outside of the tire tread or that the tire continues to lose pressure, take the tire out of service and consult a specialist.
I discovered an object in my tire. What should I do?
Ride-On works best when the tires are warm. Therefore you should drive the vehicle for a couple kilometers first. Then you can remove the object. If it's a nail, thorn or shard of glass you could use tongs. If it's a screw, use a screwdriver to prevent further damage. Directly after, drive a few kilometers again to allow Ride-On to seal the puncture completely. Have a specialist check your tires as well.
Always remove the object as soon as possible. Although Ride-On may prevent your tires from losing pressure, leaving the object could cause further damage to your tires. Rubber also has a 'memory', causing it to stretch and conform to the shape of the puncturing object. It will take longer for the rubber to revert to its old shape and for the leak to be sealed. Your tire may continue to lose pressure as well.

TENA Bathing Gloves were developed to better care for fragile skin, minimize cross-contamination and proved a more efficient routine for both residents and caregivers. Personal hygiene is an important part of daily resident care, however it can be challenging to perform. Even basin bathing or sponge baths at the bedside can present risks and challenges for both residents and caregivers. These bathing gloves are the caring and convenient solution for this problem and can be used as an alternative or in addition to regular baths and showers.
Promotes Skin HealthAs the skin ages, it becomes thinner and more delicate. Many soaps can strip away natural oils, causing dryness and irritation. In addition, reusable washcloths can be rough and may damage already fragile skin.
Reduces Cross-ContaminationReusable basins and reusable washcloths can harbor harmful bacteria. Because this bathing glove is disposable, it eliminates cross contamination.
Reduces LaborThe daily hygiene routine can be time-consuming and physically damaging for both resident and caregiver. This method of washing is less tiring for the caregiver and there is no need to clean up or do laundry afterwards!

Blackburn Rovers look set to sign Dallas FC centre half George John from the MLS. The player has been followed by the Premiership side for a number of weeks and his heading for England.
John is believed to be on his way to Greece to get his European passport and will travel to Rovers later in the week for a medical exam, clearing the way for him to sign.
Dallas manager Schellas Hyndman said he doesn't really know what the latest is with the whole situation.
"I'm really in a difficult place because I really don't know what's going on. I just met with my team. I think they know," Hyndman said after training on Tuesday morning. "I think George has contacted some players. But I was expecting him at practice yesterday and got an e-mail 10 minutes before saying he was on his way to Greece. Let's assume that all is happening and assume that he's in England trying to go through a physical and everything. If that's the case, then we obviously wish him the best. It's something he wanted to do."
"It's hard to lose somebody at this point in time but just like losing Kenny Cooper [in 2009]," Hyndman said. "When we lost Kenny Cooper in the middle of the year, it gave us the resources, the financial resources to build the team that we have out here now. I think when you look a player's mind, if he wants to be somewhere else it's hard to say we're not going to make this change. If he wants to be somewhere else, we've got to support him."

THINKING FOR THEMSELVES: Autonomous robots plan their own actions in complex, dynamic environments By Jonathan P. How, Emilio Frazzoli, and Brian Williams Automation has the potential to greatly improve the performance and capabilities of future robotic vehicles, such as cars and airplanes.
The reader might be familiar with autonomous vehicles, such as the Roomba vacuum cleaning robot, that perform fairly simple tasks in constrained environments — but the
goals of this work are to develop much smarter robots that can operate in, and adapt to, the dynamic and complex world familiar to humans. This includes examples such an autonomous car that optimizes its route to a pick-up point to avoid traffic tie-ups reported by other vehicles, while designing motion paths that avoid potentially erratic maneuvers by pedestrians, cyclists, and other cars. It could also include a team of UAVs collaborating to choose the best locations to sample the atmosphere to better predict a storm's path. From choosing which actions to take, to deciding which maneuvers to execute to perform those actions, planning is a crucial part of optimizing the solution to the fundamental questions of "what, where, when, how?" Of course, to operate in a dynamic world, this planning must be fast enough that it can be performed online, in real-time. The result is similar to classical feedback control, in which sensors provide information about the motion of the system, and then use the information to compute corrective inputs. But, autonomy extends that framework to include both continuous and discrete decisions, such as activity planning, compliance to rules of behavior, and trajectory design. There are numerous challenges to achieving these goals, such as developing planning algorithms that are both computationally tractable and communication-efficient, adapting the autonomous

UP TO DATE INFORMATION: Wellington
New Zealand i/njuːˈziːlənd/ (Māori: Aotearoa [aɔˈtɛaɾɔa]) is an island nation in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses – that of the North Island, or Te Ika-a-Māui, and the South Island, or Te Waipounamu – and numerous smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 1,500 kilometres (900 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. During its long period of isolation, New Zealand developed a distinctive biodiversity of animal, fungal and plant life. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks, such as the Southern Alps, owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, while its most populous city is Auckland.
Sometime between 1250 and 1300 CE, Polynesians settled in the islands that would later become New Zealand, and developed a distinctive Māori culture. In 1642, Abel Tasman, a Dutch explorer, became the first European to sight New Zealand.[11] In 1840, representatives of the British Crown and Māori Chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi, making New Zealand a British colony. Today, the majority of New Zealand's population of 4.7 million is of European descent; the indigenous Māori are the largest minority, followed by Asians and Pacific Islanders. Reflecting this, New Zealand's culture is mainly derived from Māori and early British settlers, with recent broadening arising from increased immigration. The official languages are English, Māori and New Zealand Sign Language, with English predominant.
New Zealand is a developed country with a market economy. New Zealand is a World Bank high-income economy and ranks highly in international comparisons of national performance, such as health, education, economic freedom and quality of life. Nationally, legislative authority is vested in an elected, unicameral Parliament, while executive political power is exercised by the Cabinet, led by the Prime Minister, who is currently John Key. Queen Elizabeth II is the country's head of state and is represented by a Governor-General. In addition, New Zealand is organised into 11 regional councils and 67 territorial authorities for local government purposes. The Realm of New Zealand also includes Tokelau (a dependent territory); the Cook Islands and Niue (self-governing states in free association with New Zealand); and the Ross Dependency, which is New Zealand's territorial claim in Antarctica. New Zealand is a member of the United Nations, Commonwealth of Nations, ANZUS, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Pacific Islands Forum, and Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation.

Yeah Oilers!
But seriously, this team has no identity. Is Ottawa an elite offense, always winning those 4-3 games? No! Is Ottawa a tough, hard hitting grinding defense, always winning those 2-1 games? No! Is Ottawa a team that relies on it's goalie to save their asses?
No No No No No!
We're just so average.
We always seems to get one of last playoff spots, but get knocked out of the first round of the playoffs. Leaving us with a Middle of the pack draft position. That doesn't really benefit us at all. The best thing that can happen for this team is a last place finish and a complete re haul. Trade those Ottawa stars. It cuts me like a knife to even think of them trading away Alfie or Chris Neil, or even Spezza. But Alfie has lost his magic, he sometimes has a great game every now and then, but he isn't as great as he used to be. Perhaps just keep him on and let him retire. Because he's a Sens legend, I don't want him to be alienated like Sundin with the Leafs a few years ago. Just let him go on his own terms. Trading away our greats has worked before. We traded Yashin (that bastard) waaay back in what? 2000? We got Chara and the draft pick to get Spezza. There was some other guy, but meh. That's what we need. A new Chara, Alfie, Spezza. And a fucking #1 Goalie, we need one desperately. We can't keep flipping between Pascal and Brian Elliot. I'll take a few years of mediocrity to develop the new kids. Look at Tampa, they're looking good. We need to do what they're doing.
And in conclusion, Fuck you Heatley. You fucking piece of trash

Emeritus at Reno
Emeritus at Reno is an assisted living community offering Alzheimer's care in Reno, Nevada. Set on beautifully landscaped grounds with a courtyard, lovely gardens and walking trails, Emeritus at Reno is considered one of Nevada's premier Alzheimer's communities. Located close to Highway 395 and I-80, the community offers 52 apartments. At Emeritus at Reno, residents — in many cases, with their pets — enjoy retirement living. Yet should seniors need a helping hand from our warm and caring staff, Emeritus at Reno also offers complete services, tailor-made to each resident's needs.
Emeritus at Reno also offers an innovative memory care program, called Join Their Journey®, for seniors affected by Alzheimer's or dementia.

Then an accountant with Deloitte in Kampala, Ms. Kobusinge chose Canada in 2015 partly for its immigration policies that, unlike Britain and the United States, offer a postgraduation work permit of up to three years for eligible candidates.
"This opportunity I found was much better in Canada than other countries," says Ms. Kobusinge, who graduated this spring from Smith School of Business at Queen's University and now works as a senior accountant for KPMG in Kingston.
Ms. Kobusinge is one of a growing number of international students – including a small but growing contingent from Africa – who are pushing Canada up the charts as a preferred study destination.
New data on potential applicants to global business schools, released recently by the U.S.-based Graduate Management Admission Council, show that between 2009 and 2016 Canada muscled its way onto a top-five list of international study destinations. The United States and Britain typically are preferred choices, but last year Canada moved into second place (from fifth in 2009) as a destination for prospective MBA students from Africa.
Over the same period, Canada climbed into third spot (from fifth in 2009) for students from Central and South Asia, and stood fifth last year as a preferred location for prospective students from the United States and the Middle East.
Some credit Canada's favourable profile to anti-immigrant policies in the United States and Britain that impose study and postgraduation restrictions on foreign students. But researchers caution it is too early to assess the full impact of inward-looking practices reshaping overseas study choices.
Canada stands out to potential candidates, says GMAC director of research Gregg Schoenfeld, for the relative ease in securing a work permit after graduation. As well, Canada is seen as a relatively safe and secure destination.
"It seems to be government policies affecting student mobility toward Canada," he says, with an immigrant-friendly outlook providing Canadian schools with a useful recruitment tool. "Schools may want to highlight government policies about work visas, work permits and the relative ease of getting a student visa."
With a three-year work permit, for example, graduates such as Ms. Kobusinge have time to apply (as she is doing) for permanent residency in Canada.
The uptick in overseas MBA applications to Canada is a positive development for many schools, not least as foreign students pay a tuition premium. But the growth in interest in Canada also carries responsibilities, warns David Dunne, director of full- and part-time MBA programs at the University of Victoria's Gustavson School of Business.
"It is not easy for these students to come and slot into Canadian culture," he says, with the onus on schools to create a supportive environment for foreign students. At Gustavson, with two-thirds of the MBA class from overseas, the entire cohort participates in a three-week orientation that includes time outdoors (including the woods) to learn about sustainability, a signature theme for the school.
"Some get scared by it [the outdoor experience] but it is a very supportive experience and you really bring home to them the importance of sustainability," says Dr. Dunne, adding that students also meet local First Nation leaders during the orientation.
"[As a school] you are looking for a particular type of student with a particular background based on your school and you are looking to create a diverse experience for your domestic and international students," he says. "You have to back it up with a good experience."
That was the case for Ms. Kobusinge who laughs that she had never lived in a country where temperatures dip below 16 C. Despite the "huge cultural change" in coming to Kingston, she describes her one-year MBA studies at Smith as a "once in a lifetime experience." She had offers from other Canadian schools but chose Smith for the strong early support from school staff and alumni that continued after her arrival.
"They made my experience so easy," she says. "They made me feel like I was just driving a few miles to a different city."
She also received a $30,000 Forté Fellow scholarship that includes networking and other support for female MBA candidates.
As Canadian business schools look to capitalize on increased interest from international students, including from Africa, Ms. Kobusinge urges Canadian recruiters to show up in person at MBA fairs around world.
That's the strategy of Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto which this year reported a 35-per-cent increase in applications from Africa. After an absence, Rotman plans to send recruiters to MBA fairs in Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa this fall, according to a school spokesman.
Researcher and teacher named interim dean at Sprott
Carleton University's Sprott School of Business in Ottawa has named one of its own, Linda Schweitzer, as interim dean for 13 months, pending the selection of a successor to dean Jerry Tomberlin. On July 1, Dr. Thomberlin becomes the university's acting provost and academic vice-president for a two-year term.
Dr. Schweitzer, who teaches knowledge management in the MBA programs, is also associated with two of the school's research units – one on information, technology, organization and people, and the other on women and work.

The Eyes Lyrics
Artist: Dio
Album: Master Of The Moon
The Eyes
Oh no - they're at it again
Looking inside my secrets
Coming through cracks before I mend the wall
Get out - cause you're breaking the law
How did you ever find me
Places where I can hide can't get much smaller
I have invisible dreams
Where no one can touch me
Maybe I'll find a way to disappear
No one moves - and no one dies
Just the eyes
I've run as fast as I can
Thinking they'll never catch me
What a waste of breath a waste of time
Feel like digging a hole
Going in even deeper
Maybe they just can't see what just can't shine
I'll be lost - so no goddbyes
If no one moves then nothing dies
Just the eyes
Oh no - they've done it again
Sending out the detectives
Searching for signs of life and that means me
In my invisible dreams
When no one is watching
I'd make the whole world blind and I'd be free
I'll be lost - so no replies
If no one looks then no one dies
Just the eyes
Those eyes
Magic numbers
Even sacrifice
I can't find a way
Cause nothing stops the eyes

Excise Duty on Jewellers from Budget 2016- A Big ControversyGold has been most influential and precious metal in India,since ancient times . Indian people have emotional bond with gold ,rather than looking at it as an investment.Recently gold has been in controversy which led to the nationwide strike by jewelers.This article will summarize the provisions with respect to excise on Gold in Budget 2016.This paper will analyze the reasons behind the strike .We will see what will be the impacts of this controversy.
Budget 2016 – Provision for excise on Gold
The Finance Minister proposed following in Budget 2016 with respect to Excise duty on Gold;
- Excise duty @ 1% will be applicable on gold will be applicable.This excise duty is applicable on new articles as well as articles made from melting old articles or old gold .In this case input tax credit is not allowed to be set off.
- Alternatively , excise is applicable @ 12.5% on gold.In such case , input tax credit can be reduced from tax liability.
- If SSI (Small Scale Industries) exemption is applicable to the gold jeweler , then excise will be required.
- The SSI exemption limit for jewelers is raised to Rs 6 crores and eligibility limit of Rs 12 crore. This was introduced to relieve the the small scale industries.
- Silver articles (which are not studded with gems) are exempt from excise duty .
- The jewelers are allowed voluntary centralized registration.So the jeweler can obtain only one registration for all the premises.
- Principal manufacturer is liable for payment of excise duty.Hence artisans who manufacture jewellery on job work basis.
- Minimum physical intervention is a new twist in the legislation.Central Excise Officers are directed to not to visit the jewelers premises.
- Registration procedure has been paced for speedy registration.This procedure won't need physical verification for registration.
- Jewelers are not required to submit stock details to excise authorities.Authorities shall accept Vat records or records from the Bureau of Indian standards for excise purposes.
- One more facility afforded to jewelers is where they can pay excise on a monthly basis.
Strike by Jewelers
All India Gems and Jewellery Trade Federation, commented that the excise guidelines are impractical for implementation.The chairman further quoted that these guidelines will hamper the survival of industry.This was seen in action , where the jewelers called on strike in whole India.This strike almost extended to 2- 3 weeks.The main demand was to take back the excise duty on gold.
Why the strike
The jewelers took the stand which they said was in favour of the customers.Indirect tax like VAT (Value Added Tax) or excise duty , are generally passed on to the ultimate consumers.This adds up to the increase in price without any productive output or additional benefits to the consumer.Let me explain
Original cost of the article 100
Add : Excise @ 1% 1
Price Payable by customer 101
This Rupee 1 is collected by the producer and paid to the government.Hence it would mean that the manufacturer won't be paying excise duty out of his pockets. So the consumers are forced to pay more just to reimburse the tax payment.
However , Gold price being higher per unit , excise will really add a burden on gold purchase.The Federation feared that more jewelers will have to shut down their shops. This situation , if actually turned true, would have horrific effects on the economy.
Action by the Government
The government ruled out the possibility of rolling back the excise duty on gold.Finance minister suggested that excised levy could be a step towards GST (Goods and Services Tax)implementation.Gold was totally out of the ambit of tax applicability.Hence , this could be baby step to bring gold into GST implementation process.
Primarily Government introduced following to counter effect the allegations
- No direct visits by Excise officials to the jeweler's premises.This will ensure that there will be no Inspector Raaj.This step relieved the jewelers as they feared of harassment by the excise officials.
- The jewelers had argued that excise duty on jewelery will affect small time shops. This additional burden was feared to be the cause for shut down of the business. This was totally cleared out by the finance minister.He introduced a new change that SSI exemption shall be raised to Rs 6 crores as against 1.5 crores for other segments.Also eligibility threshold was increased to 12 crores as against 4 crores for other sectors.
- Payment of excise duty
Government said that excise duty on gold would be payable per month.For other cases or sectors , excise is payable for each clearance from the business premises.This would make it easier for the jewelers to pay excise duty.
Reasons behind excise levy
The Finance Minister advocated the move of bringing Gold and jewelery into excise scope.The reasons quoted are as below
- Huge volumes of gold traded in India would justify the levy.If such a high volume is traded , then at least part of it should be expected to generate revenues for the government.
- The Government would be able to check out for black money in gold trading.
- With the GST implementation ahead, this step can be seen as a small step for brignging gold in the tax net.
- Gold being demerit item , taxed at subsidy rates , would not be affected much.Main reason is that only 20% of the population demand for 80% of the gold.
Even though , Gold is considered demerit item ,it carries emotional attachment to the holder.Moreover , gold has been center of attraction in any festival or events or functions.This has shown that Gold has inelastic demand , which is not much affected by changes in external factors like taxes or so.

CLEVER Car Milestone: Crash Test
In Europe, where automobile producers have committed to reduce the CO2 emissions of their fleets from today's average of 200 grams/km to 140, this EU-wide project has been on the radar since the CLEVER press release in April 2004. Now, CLEVER--for Compact Low-Emission VEhicle for uRban transport--has passed its first big test. In a head-on crash test, the innovative three-wheeler demonstrated very satisfactory performance, similar to a normal small car. Side-crash tests are planned. Further novelties include a natural gas engine with fuel-cartridge concept so the car can be used where a NatGas network is not yet complete. And unique software will manage the roll in the one-wheel passenger compartment while the two-wheeled luggage and motor compartment keeps both wheels on the ground; this should ensure CLEVER is FUN (see image on next page).
The project goal is to create a production vehicle for under 10,000 euros (12,000 US$). A project report is due in March 2006, but big questions remain about the CLEVER's future. BMW, one of the main partners in the development of the prototype, is still silent about whether they will take the vehicle into production. Speculation that the vehicle will be authorized as a motorcycle, requiring special driver licensing, could scare BMW away after the experience with the C1, which failed quickly after annual sales couldn't top 10,000 of the unique caged bikes in spite of the helmet-free approval.
Which is the Big Question: will the consumer find the CLEVER clever? If fun-to-drive meets green, it could be the answer many a lead-blooded sports driver with a conscience has been looking for, and expand the niche for mod city minis that Daimler-Chrysler opened with its smartcar.


text: The "No Entry" image came from Trafalgar Square. It seems to me that no one in their right mind would enter the water here, but if they are going to I doubt this sign will be enough to keep them out! The second image is a drain cover on Coventry Street and the final image is of the south bank of the River Thames just by the Millennium Bridge (see map below) by Shakespeare's Globe and Tate Modern. It is easy to get down to the river at this point an when it is warmer the beach can look quite inviting.

NORWICH The historic sites within a group of power line hot spots on the East Coast including the communities threatened by New York Regional Interconnect Inc.s $1.6 billion project have been listed among the nations most endangered.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation, a Washington-based historic preservation society with 270,000 members nationwide, has included all sensitive areas within Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York state, New Jersey and Delaware on its list of the countrys 11 Most Endangered Historic Places.
Each of the seven states, plus Ohio and Washington, D.C., are slated to become a National Interest Electric Transmission Corridor where electricity transmission projects, despite heavy opposition, could get fast-tracked around state and local authority by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in order to relieve energy congestion in metropolitan areas.
Its a highly significant area of historic value and scenic value; all of which is at stake, said National Trust Program Officer and Regional Attorney Roberta Lane during a phone interview Monday, referring to the 190 miles of upstate New York that could be impacted by NYRIs 115-foot-tall high voltage transmission line. The regions this would impact are some of the most important in New York state with value for the entire nation.

GAPS, which stands for 'Gut and Psychology Syndrome' or 'Gut and Physiology Syndrome' is a dietary protocol to heal the lining of the gut. In so doing, it is possible to heal the body of many health issues, as the seat of our immunity lies in our gut. It really is true that our ill health starts in our gut, like Hippocrates said, 'All diseases begin in the gut'. With so many things complicated the integrity of one's intestinal tract, it's no wonder we all face numerous maladies that stem from our gut in this modern day. GAPS was designed in phases with an introduction diet protocol for deeper healing.
The introduction diet starts out with a very limited amount of foods that can be consumed. Namely, it is meat, meat stock and vegetables. This can pose a problem for those who not only do not know quite what to prepare, but also a sense of boredom. This does not have to be the case. I have been able to create a new soup or stew daily to keep things interesting. Creamy pureed veggie soups are not only super simple, but a nice way to change things up a bit. I love pureed vegetables soups like cream of broccoli, butternut squash and even a vegetable medley. A blended soup like this can be very easy to prepare and a quick snack that is very nourishing. I like to have these in addition to some stewed meat.
- 4-5 cups cut veggies (such as winter or butternut squash, broccoli or a medley of GAPS allowed veggies)
- 1 large onion, coarsely chopped (or 3 leeks)
- up to 1 whole head of garlic, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 1 large knob of ginger (about an inch to two inches), peeled and coarsely chopped (optional - use with butternut squash soup)
- 4-5 cups homemade bone broth, any kind you like
- Sea salt
- Sour cream (if you have passed the sensitivity test to it)
- This recipe is suitable for phase one of the GAPS Introduction diet through all stages.
- Heat a large chefs pan or small stock pot over medium heat with a dollop of lard. Add onions and sautee for about 5 minutes.
- Add in garlic and ginger, sautee a few more minutes.
- Add main veggies and stock. Start with less stock if you want a really thick soup, you can always add more later.
- Bring to a simmer and let simmer for about 25 minutes.
- Allow to cool slightly.
- Using an immersion blender or food processor puree the soup.
- Serve with homemade sour cream, as much as you are allowed based on your progression and the sensitivity test.
- If you can't tolerate dairy the soup will still be delicious without it. Add more fat, lard or whatever animal fat you have. When you introduce ghee you can add some ghee to the end of the simmer time.
To see more about the GAPS Introduction diet, starting with Stage 1, check out the details in this post.
To read the book about the premise of GAPS, check out 'Gut and Psychology Syndrome' by Dr. Natasha Campbell McBride.
Additionally, there is a GAPS cookbook, called 'Internal Bliss'. This is a great resource if you don't feel capable of coming up with recipes all on your own. I have made many of the recipes in this book with great success. My kids have like them all.
If you are considering going on the GAPS diet, you may want to view the GAPS Dvds. These show you how to prepare everything needed to do the GAPS Introduction diet and what you learn in them carries over to the full GAPS diet as well.
To read more about all that GAPS entails, check out the following websites, here and here.

Parents love seeing their kids active. Not only is it part of keeping your kids healthy, but it also sometimes gives parents time off.
Cape Town, with its vast number of fun locations and outdoor activities, is a parent's dream. Many have already seen the benefits of the varied locations and sporting opportunities for their kids.
Cape Town, with its vast number of fun locations and outdoor activities, is a parent's dream. Many have already seen the benefits of the varied locations and sporting opportunities for their kids.
For example, last month, local young sailors prepared for a gruelling sail race. As SuperSport reports:
"A total of 30 young sailors will take to the water for the gruelling, non-stop MAC 24 challenge at Milnerton Aquatic Club … in a bid to sail as many laps as possible in the allotted 24 hours.
"Three teams of 10 kids, ranging in age from seven to 14 will sail unassisted, working in shifts to make it through the night."
No doubt their parents are incredibly proud of this. But there are all sorts of activities, which don't necessarily involve signing up for sailing courses in Cape Town.
Water and theme parks
Staying with water and outside activities, consider Waterworld Strand, which is a water park & putt-putt range. It's about a 40 minute drive from Cape Town central, right by one of the best beaches in False Bay. There are five slides of differing sizes, a large dry play area and an adjoining putt-putt course.
They also serve simple meals and drinks. They also cater to birthday parties, making it an ideal venue for summer birthdays.
A more popular and somewhat drier alternative is Ratanga Junction. Though it isn't open as often or as regularly, it does provide an incredible time for the whole family. There are rides and areas for specific age groups and a host of activities everyone can enjoy. From the famous Cobra to many kid's rides, Ratanga is a perfect destination for a whole day's activity.
Go karting and sliding
Many kids love cars and can't wait to drive one. That's why Go Karts are great for parents, since they're small vehicles, able to be used by kids, in a safe environment. A popular course is in Kenilworth, where allow kids under 16 to participate. Make sure to book in advance, since this is a very popular activity and being indoors makes it ideal for all types of weather.
Another fun activity is Cool Runnings Cape Town, the Toboggan fun park in Tygervalley. It's the only such place in the whole continent, emulating the thrill of using a sled down a snowy mountain side. Kids between three and seven are allowed on, as long as they're accompanied by an older person.
These are just some activities you can do with your kids in and around Cape Town.

A Novel
The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane
A Novel
Li-yan and her family align their lives around the seasons and the farming of tea. There is ritual and routine, and it has been ever thus for generations. Then one day a jeep appears at the village gate—the first automobile any of them have seen—and a stranger arrives.
In this remote Yunnan village, the stranger finds the rare tea he has been seeking and a reticent Akha people. In her biggest seller, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, See introduced the Yao people to her readers. Here she shares the customs of another Chinese ethnic minority, the Akha, whose world will soon change. Li-yan, one of the few educated girls on her mountain, translates for the stranger and is among the first to reject the rules that have shaped her existence. When she has a baby outside of wedlock, rather than stand by tradition, she wraps her daughter in a blanket, with a tea cake hidden in her swaddling, and abandons her in the nearest city.
After mother and daughter have gone their separate ways, Li-yan slowly emerges from the security and insularity of her village to encounter modern life while Haley grows up a privileged and well-loved California girl. Despite Haley's happy home life, she wonders about her origins; and Li-yan longs for her lost daughter. They both search for and find answers in the tea that has shaped their family's destiny for generations.
A powerful story about a family, separated by circumstances, culture, and distance, Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane paints an unforgettable portrait of a little known region and its people and celebrates the bond that connects mothers and daughters.

Reading Group Guide
In this stirring coming-of-age novel, a young Chinese woman finds purpose, passion, and the key to a new life in the tea-growing traditions of her ancestors.
High in the Yunnan mountains, Li-yan and her family, members of the Akha ethnic minority, live according to the precise rituals of their people. Then one day, the market economy, in the form of a businessman seeking a rare tea, arrives at their remote village and changes the community forever. As Li-yan's family adapts to the incursion of the outside world, she falls in love with a boy who her mother believes is an inauspicious match.

10 Reasons to Go Outside
1. Gives you time to stop and smell the flowers.
When we take time to slow down, it gives us time to appreciate the beauty around us. From a field of flowers, to a bird singing in the trees. No matter where we live, we can find something that makes being outside better than inside.
2. Fresh Air
The fresh smell of pine on a mountain top or the salty air of an ocean breeze beats the sweaty smell of a gym any day. Get outside and take a breath of fresh air.
3. Get a natural dose of Vitamin D through sunshine.
Our body's need vitamin D to help absorb calcium which helps build stronger bones. Vitamin D has also been linked to an increase of metabolism (a good thing) and to a decrease in the incidence of macular degeneration (a disease affecting the eyes). It also decreases the risk of stroke. Just remember to be smart and use sunscreen to prevent skin cancer while soaking up the rays that help build your supply of vitamin D.
4. Stress relief
We all need a break from the stressful things in our life. Reducing stress decreases our chance of having a heart attack. It can also help us form better relationships and live a happier life.
5. Opens eyes to new worlds
How many times have we taken the time to discover the beautiful things in our own backyards. Sometimes, we take for granted the wonder sites in our own neighborhood. Take a day trip and see what things you might be missing.
6. Learn new things
I'm in my forties and I just learned to rappel in this last year. You're never too old to learn something new. I had no idea what I was missing until I tried it out.
7. Nature is free, no membership fees
Gym memberships can be expensive. A run outside is not. Find a track or a route close to home or venture out and find a trail. I love to hike. The cost of a good pair of running shoes is cheaper than a month or two at the gym and a lot more fun too.
8. Meet new people
There's a whole world of fun and interesting people out there. On my hikes, I always pass friendly people. There are biking, hiking, climbing, and running groups and more group to join. I'm amazed when I run marathons at the whole running culture out there. Many running stores have organized runs. Take advantage of them. I'm joining a ladies mountain bike group this summer. I can't wait.
9. Find fun hidden treasures
Who knew you could find mountain fairies on winter hikes? You never know what you might stumble across. I found a tree decorated for Christmas on one of my hikes. Kalina found a cave with a machete in it. Yes, seriously!
10. Great way to get healthy
With so many outdoor activities, there is sure to be something enjoyable for every person in your family. My son joined a mountain bike team and while having a great time, is reaping the health benefits of exercise.
It's time.
Get up and get out!

Before that, the term would bring to mind stories with creative depth, the ability to change the world around you in meaningful and interesting ways without being hand-held all the way through and systems so complex that you needed the freaking paperback manual to wrap your head around them. Sure, they were all wrapped up in terrible UIs and dodgy controls, but it was the 80's and 90's, so we didn't know much better back then."

There's an app for that! Find out wait times for ER's across the Midlands
Wed, 23 Jul 2014 03:02:30 GMT —
To learn the wait times of emergency rooms in your area, click here.
Columbia, SC (WACH) - According to ProPublica and its ER wait watcher, the national average wait time in an emergency room is 28 minutes, and in South Carolina, the average wait time is 32 minutes.
While you might live near an emergency room, the wait watcher may have you driving a greater distance to be treated sooner.
"There is no typical day in the emergency department," said Dr. Steve Shelton, who oversees the Palmetto Health Richland emergency room.
The site breaks down wait times based on what kind of issue you're dealing with such as a broken bone.
Shelton says while wait times can be long in some cases, Palmetto Health will always take care of patients regardless of their problem.
"We provide treatment to anybody who shows up. We turn no one away," said Shelton.
He says the emergency room's top priority is to assist those who are the sickest first, which can be a process that determines how long you or your loved one may have to wait.
"We want to recognize those patients who need to see a physician immediately to have some lifesaving intervention. Once we determine that that's not needed, we back away from there and look for folks that need care urgently," added Shelton.
Doctor Shelton says those scenarios can range from heart attacks and strokes, to car crashes.
Once doctors have determined the patient's urgent condition, they look at the kinds of resources the patient will need such as an X-ray or a CAT scan among other things.
"There are times that we're busier and times we are slower. In the emergency department we really don't know when those times are. We're dependent on what occurs with each individual out there," said Shelton.
The ER Wait Watcher only provides average wait times, and recommends calling your preferred hospital to find out current wait times.
Besides the "patients left without being seen" average wait time, all data was collected between April of 2012 to 2013.

My new Think Again column: "Howie Kurtz is going to work for Fox? How long has this been going on?"
I did not get to see the Stones this time around but I read in Mike Allen's playbook that "Jagger recalled that when the Stones first came to D.C. in 1965, Lady Bird Johnson requested 'Jumpin' Jack Flash.'" Quite a trick for LBJ (female version). After all, JJF was released in May, 1968.
And you know, in regards to David Gregory asking Glenn Greenwald if he should be arrested for aiding and abetting an illegal national security leak by reporting on classified information, isn't it curious that neither Gregory nor any of his colleagues have ever asked that question of Bob Woodward? The latter brags about Bush administration officials showing him classified documents that he then describes in his books. How is what Greenwald does any different? How is it any different than what Barton Gelman did? It is just too sad that the guy who hosts the most important television news show in America is also the guy who willingly served as a back-up dancer for Karl Rove in a wig. And now this…
So I'm at the beach and I've got no new music to review except to say that I missed the show by Cecile McLorin Salvant at 54 Below on Tuesday, and I was reliably informed by a friend who did not that: "She's really, she's the best jazz singer I've heard in years. Amazing range, and she can sing just about anything from blues to ballads to Betty Carterish instrumental-type singing. Fantastically talented, and only 23." Her album is called "Womanchild" and it's on Mack Avenue. I first heard it on Terry Gross's show and the superlatives appear justified. (Also, I've not yet been to 54 Below but people say good things.) I am hoping to see Junior Brown at the Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett tonight, He's always a lot of fun. If I were in town this weekend, I'd have loved to have seen the Summerstage "Big Star" tribute in Central Park tomorrow night. Maybe you will. Here's the full schedule.
