China's year-on-year GDP growth is projected to reach 6.6 percent this year, 0.1 percentage point higher than its previous forecast, the International Monetary Fund said in its latest report released on Jan 22.
Analysts said export growth will continue to be a main contributor to China's growth as investment growth is expected to weaken this year.
"Growth is expected to moderate gradually in China (although with a slight upward revision to the forecast for 2018 and 2019 relative to the fall forecasts, reflecting stronger external demand)," the IMF said in its World Economic Outlook update released in Davos, Switzerland on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum.
In its October forecast, China's growth for this year was 6.5 percent.
The World Bank said last week that it expected China's GDP growth this year to be 6.4 percent.
The IMF said the global economy is now expected to grow by 3.9 percent, up from 3.8 percent in its October projection.
"The revision reflects increased global growth momentum and the expected impact of the recently approved US tax policy changes," the IMF said.
Such a gain in growth momentum of the global economy is favorable for China's exports, which in turn will help shore up the world's second-largest economy this year, analysts said.
"The global economic growth hopefully will strengthen moderately this year and China's export growth momentum will be maintained," said analysts of Golden Credit Rating International Co Ltd in a report.
Among the three major contributors to growth, retail sales growth may remain stable and largely unchanged this year, but fixed-asset investment growth may weaken thanks to the cool-off of the real estate sector, the ratings agency's report said.
It predicted that fixed-asset investment growth will slow to 7 percent year-on-year this year, compared with 7.2 percent in 2017.
As the possibility is low for China to loosen its property price control measures, the real estate sector will see its investment and sales ease this year, the report said.
Although the expected local government reshuffle this year may lead to brisker investment activities, its effect will weaken as China has made it clear that it will pursue high-quality development, and, as a result, the reshuffle will not provide a significant boost to investment growth, the report said.
While growth may dip, China will also face the challenge of handling financial risks posed by such factors as increasing debt, high leverage levels, and shadow banking this year, analysts said.
"It has become unprecedentedly important for China to safeguard the bottom line of forestalling systemic financial risks," said Liu Dongliang, an analyst of China Merchants Bank. "On the whole, strengthening (financial) regulation will become China's policy choice in the coming years."
Although it may affect short-term growth, strengthened financial regulation will contribute to China's medium-term growth, economists said.
"Sustaining rapid growth over the medium term is very possible," John Litwack, World Bank lead economist for China, told China Daily in an interview last week. "Successful deleveraging and containing financial risks will be important for achieving this goal in the medium term."

In an effort to prevent the loss of life or injury during this year's high school prom and graduation season, the "Party's Over" program will be presented to St. Johns County students.
The program will be presented at 10 a.m. on Tuesday to the junior and senior classes of Pedro Menendez High School. It will be held in the high school stadium.
The presentation is a joint effort of the St. Johns County School District, the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office, the St. Johns County Tax Collector and St. Johns County Fire Rescue.
The "Party's Over" program is presented nationwide to junior and senior level students before their proms and graduations.
The program is a visual drama of sorts depicting an alcohol-related accident that occurs at the conclusion of a high school party.
Drama students from Menendez will portray the students involved in the accident, while local firefighters, law enforcement officers, judges and other first responders will act in the role they would normally serve in during and following a DUI-related incident.
The program is highly emotional and is designed to quickly educate the students on the dangers and consequences of drinking and driving.

Mayfair brings arts and fun to UCity this Mother's Day weekend
Where in the Charlotte area can you spend the afternoon shopping for arts and crafts from unique vendors, watching performances from some of the best talent the region has to offer and treating the kids to fun activities -- all while enjoying picturesque surroundings? Would you need to brave the traffic and struggle to find parking downtown or trek across the area to Freedom Park or maybe even Lake Norman to attend such an event? Most Charlotteans would be surprised to learn that a festival that provides all of these attractions can be found right in the heart of UCity.
For the third year in a row, University City Events will be presenting a festival lakeside at the Shoppes at University Place. "Mayfair: A Celebration of Arts and Crafts," will be held Mother's Day weekend, May 7-8. The festival, which is projected to draw close to 10,000 attendees, will include 100 displays ranging from hand-blown glass and pottery to jewelry and accessories. The event will also feature entertainment from local musicians and dancers, as well as a Kid's FunZone that includes face painting, sand-art and other fun activities for children of all ages.
"Our mission is to continue to bring a diverse mixture of artists and crafters to this great venue, creating a signature event for University City," says Roger Brown, director of University City Events, the promotions company behind Mayfair.
Three years ago, Brown and his wife were inspired to start the festival while strolling around the lake at University Place.
"My wife is a crafter who participates in events across North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, and we were commenting about how University City needed to have an event like some of the ones in which we participate," Brown says.
He approached Nancy Reitz, manager at the Shoppes at University Place, with the idea, and she gave the go-ahead. The first festival happened July 2009. "While a success, the harsh heat put a damper on the event," Brown said. Organizers then moved it to May – and named it Mayfair.
Though Mayfair is the only festival currently presented in UCity, there was a similar event about 15 years ago. "The previous event was a fine arts festival focused mainly on painting, pottery and photography," says Brown. "Mayfair includes artists from these categories, but also includes hand-made crafts such as jewelry, leather goods, glass works, clothing and accessories. The goal is to provide a unique variety of items that will appeal to all visitors to the event. All crafts must be original works created by the artisan. We strive to provide our visitors with items that are affordable, along with high-end art."
Billie Patton and her husband Ralph of The Bee-Line in Seneca, S.C., will be joining the roster of Mayfair vendors for the first time this year with an item that is sure to appeal to many appetites – raw, all natural honey.
"My husband has been a beekeeper for over 40 years. We currently have approximately 50 hives and do not use chemicals when working our bees," says Patton. They've sold at Festival in the Park at Freedom Park in the past, and "love the Charlotte area and people" – making Mayfair a good venue for them.
John Beard and his wife, Jennifer, are also participating in Mayfair for the first time. Their unique pet-themed booth is actually a fundraiser for the Haven Rescue, a nonprofit that rescued 52 dogs last year. Events like Mayfair help raise money for rescues.
"We will be selling bandanas, placemats for dogs and cats, beds, blankets, chew toys, decorated photo and tissue boxes, bows, boas, and cookbooks with recipes for owners and their pets," Beard says. One hundred percent of sales goes to the rescues since merchandise and labor is donated by volunteers.
This year's festival also includes a canned food drive for Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina. Mayfair attendees who bring a canned food donation will receive a free gift from University Place merchants.
Without a doubt, mom would approve.
Want to attend? "Mayfair: A Celebration of Arts and Crafts" will take place May 7, 11 a.m. – 7 p.m., and May 8, 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public. Entrances will be on both sides of the lakefront area of Shoppes at University Place, located at the corner of W.T. Harris Blvd and N. Tryon Street, off I-85 at exit 45. For more information, visit the University City Events website here.

Diabetes is recognized as one of the most severe medical conditions which are highly prevalent in the world. As per the researchers, there is around 1 in 4 adults who are living with the disease. Most of them are not even aware of it. This leads to complications in treatment.
In this article, you will get to know about 17 warning signs or symptoms of diabetes. As prevention is better than cure, so if you are aware of the warning signs as early as possible. Then it can help you get the timely diagnosis. This will further prevent life-threatening complications.
Moreover, once you doubt that you may have diabetes. Then alert your doctor particularly if you have any of the common risk factors for diabetes. So here are the signs-
1- Increased hunger
There is a time when people feel hungry even after having a full meal. Then that might be a revealing sign of diabetes. This is because the body of the person is not able to convert the food into energy. The lack of energy gives rise to augmented appetite. This is the reason why a person starts feeling hungry all the time. The lack of energy causes increased appetite.
2- Feeling fatigue
Fatigue can arise due to numerous factors. The reason for being having less energy is the inability of the body to take in glucose. This is the warning sign of diabetes. Also, the lack of energy can also be caused by dehydration due to increased urination.
3- Recurrent Urination
You may experience increased urination due to excess sugar (glucose) building up in your blood. This is due to an inability of the kidney to absorb and filter all the extra sugar. Due to this, the excess sugar is excreted into the urine. This is a reason for frequent urination.
4- Dry Mouth
Diabetes signs occasionally involve your mouth as well. The absence of adequate fluids in your body due to high urination leads to feeling dry. It is said by doctors that the having a dry mouth is a symptom of high blood sugar. Moreover, it also leads to widespread tooth decay.
5- Extreme Thirst
As there is a frequent urination so the body fluids are pulled along from with the tissues. This makes you dehydrated. And this is a reason why the person feels extremely thirsty than usual. Also the more you drink fluids to satisfy the thirst, the more you urinate.
6- Weight Loss
Sometimes it happens that there is a sudden, unintentional weight loss in your body. This is due to inadequate insulin, which prevents your body from absorbing glucose to use for energy. This forces the body to burn fat and muscle for energy, resulting in weight loss. Weight fluctuations are a common sign of type 1 diabetes.
7- Imprecise vision
According to WebMD, blurred vision could be a sign of high blood sugar. The increased levels of sugar in your blood may be absorbing fluids from the lenses of your eyes. This causes them to change shape and affects your ability to focus.
8- Dry and Itchy Skin
Lack of moisture in your body due to high blood sugar levels may cause your skin to dry and itch. As you lose fluids because of increased urination, your body gets dehydrated, which results in the dry and itchy skin.
9- Slow healing process of wounds
Another important sign of diabetes is having bruises and cuts which are slow to heal. This may be due to high blood sugar levels. This will affect the blood flow in the body and also cause nerve damage. So blood finds it tough to reach the areas affected by wounds.
10- Numbness
Numbness, Pain and tingling in the feet or legs is another result of nerve damage. This is due to diabetes. This may also lead to experience a loss of feeling in the hand and arms. In the long run, this nerve damage can progress all across the body.
11- Fruity or Sweet Breath
A fruity and sweet smell in the breath can be a diabetes indication. The bad breath can be a due to high levels of ketone in the blood. Ketones are formed when the body of the diabetic person starts burning fat. This happens because cells are not able to receive the glucose they require for energy.
12- Vomiting and Nausea
Nausea and vomiting can be an important sign of diabetes. High blood glucose levels can slow down intestinal and stomach movements. This causes food to be reserved in the stomach for longer than normal time. This results in nausea and vomiting.
13- Frequent Headaches
The high or low blood glucose can leads to frequent headaches. The headaches are usually moderate to severe in nature. The person may get relief if the blood sugar is maintained and under control. In case if headache is severe then, one must consult a doctor.
14- Irritable Behavior
Diabetes can create an impact on the mood of the person. For instance, low or high blood glucose may make them easily irritated and sad. Other than this the fluctuations in blood sugar levels may also cause anxiety, uneasiness and confusion.
15- Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction is very common among men with diabetes age. If you're a man who is having a problem in maintaining and getting an erection. Then it can be the critical sign of diabetes. Diabetes can damage the nerves, blood vessels and muscle function that control erection. This gives rise to erectile dysfunction.
16- Bad Stomach Pains
Recurrent stomach pains may arise due to the enormously high or exceptionally low blood sugar levels. Diabetes can also damage the vagus nerve. This will also slow down the digestion process. This makes the food to remain longer in the stomach. This creates discomfort and pain.
17- Yeast Infections
Yeast infections can easily occur in both men and women who are having diabetes. The yeast nourishes on the extreme glucose. This type of infections usually occurs in the areas which are warm and moist. For example the areas such as between toes and fingers, underarms, and also under the breasts.
These are the most common symptoms of diabetes but there can be many. If you encounter any of the above-written signs. Then please consult a doctor as soon as possible.

You are not too old and it's not too late.
Hello internetland, it's Viola from faerieland.
So far I've written two posts, one welcoming you to this new blog and the other one being a very meaningful quote. I'm planning a lot for the blog right now as I'm sick in bed and can't really do much at the moment 🙂
I wrote a little summary about me under "about me" category earlier, feel free to check that out.
I now want to talk about how I'm building up this blog. The visuals for this blog is coming together rather nicely in my brain. The first thought was that I wanted this blog to feel like a second home. A virtual home. A place where I can relax, feel safe and express myself. Instagram and facebook just isn't the same thing cause blogs tend to be not as intense (which I love). This leads us to the forest theme! Forests are home to me, so I brought it to the internet with me. I imagine myself being the creatures you would meet in the forest in diffrent shape and forms as I tend to vary quite a lot in apperance. The spirit of the blog would be a tribute to the inspiration I get from being in the forest.
So there you go, I have my virtual forest home now which I live in and do the things I love. Shedding a lot more light on the positive things in my life. ♡
Hi internetland, It's Viola from faerieland.
Welcome to my new blog. Some of you might already know me from my old wordpress blog with the same name.
This new blog will focus on:
☽ My lifestyle
☽ Creativity & art
☽ Positive vibes
☽ Fashion
☽ Music
☽ …pretty much everything I wanted the other blog to be from the beginning.
Aiming for quality instead of quantity and more fun things instead. 🙂 A safe, open-minded place for me and the people who wish to follow me.
I hope to see you all again soon,

Dresden setting up 76 mobility hubs this fall (PhysOrg)
No comments
Dresden, the state capital of Saxony, Germany wants to set up 76 mobility hubs in the city area. At these stations, users can quickly switch between environmental friendly and city-friendly means of transport such as bicycles, car sharing, electric cars and local public transport. Six of these will be implemented as pilot sites: Pirnaischer Platz, Bahnhof Mitte, Altpieschen, P+R Prohlis, Fetscherplatz and Wasaplatz. Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe AG (DVB) receives financial support for these pilot sites from the national climate protection initiative.
The first mobility hub at Pirnaischer Platz will go into operation on 21 September 2018. Within the framework of the EU Smart City project MAtchUP (www.matchup-project.eu), the acceptance and reactions of users are collected and evaluated in the first months. In connection with the project, also three mobility hubs will be planned and one implemented in the selected district Johannstadt. These practical experiences flow into the implementation of the other mobility hubs. The "Mobility Points" working group founded by Lord Mayor Dirk Hilbert has presented a technically and technically coordinated basis for a further 24 locations.
In a growing and increasingly dense city, ensuring mobility for all and bringing it into harmony with the quality of life is a challenge for urban development. Dresden is focusing on a comprehensive and sustainable mobility strategy. Intermodal mobility hubs are an important component.

Whether it's because the style was already quite forward-thinking for its time, or because Baz Lurhman's Gatsby catapulted the roaring twenties back into the limelight, one thing is for sure; Art Deco is a design movement that never seems to grow old.
Want to know if you've got a flair for the design world's most memorable era? Read on, old sport!
1. You're a geometry whizz.
Following on from Art Nouveau's fluid, organic style, Art Déco was an exercise in ironing out curves and leaving the undulating lines of its predecessor behind. Far from rigid, you'll still find plenty of broad arcs and ovals, but symmetry and repetition will keep the look from meandering out of line.
Make it modern: For maximum impact, try a Greek Key rug or an Imperial Trellis wall stencil.
2. You know that mirrors aren't just for the bathroom.
Is there anything more glamorous than an oversized mirror? Select geometric styles in place of art for your living areas, and if you want to take it one step further, consider side tables and consoles with mirror finishes. Look for rectangular accent furniture with bevelled mirror panels to capture that glamorous Old Hollywood gleam.
Make it modern: Mirror trays and metal accent tables that have a mirror top are subtle ways to glam it up.
3. Opulence is your middle name.
Art Deco is plush and luxurious and you wouldn't have it any other way. It does this through the combination of rich colour palettes, sumptuous textures and sleek finishes, and yet, practicality never goes astray. Indulge a little, but always keep your look liveable.
Make it modern: Opulence doesn't have to shout for attention. It can be as subtle as a plush carpet or a well-stocked bar cart.
4. You're a magnet for metallics.
It's the style that celebrates exuberance and opulence, and so Art Deco wouldn't work without a heady dose of shine. Turn to gold accents to reflect the mindset of extravagance and excess that was prevalent at the time; a brass lamp base or statement light fixture, a black and gold wall paper, linens embroidered with gold stitching or a metal side table will all do the trick.
Make it modern: Don't overdo it; a mix of gloss and brushed finishes will help to temper the shine.
5. Colour? You can take it or leave it.
And when you do choose to take it, nothing but a vibrant jewel tone will do. For the most part though, black, white and metallic – typically gold – is the unmistakable Art Deco colour combo. Use this palette as your canvas and add rich colours like burnt orange and emerald green sparingly; a velvet bolster, occasional chair or a small accent tile in the bathroom, for example.
Make it modern: Get your colour fix by using a rich royal blue or deep navy instead of black.
6. Symmetry makes you smile.
Art Deco may seem like an unabashed celebration of the finer things in life, but it also adheres to a strict sense of order that can be seen in its abundant use of symmetry. Follow suit with mirror-image patterns and silhouettes wherever possible to maintain Art Deco's signature sense of balance.
Make it modern: Complement a strong symmetrical rug pattern or wall feature by creating small decorative displays arranged off-centre and slightly askew.
7. And clutter makes you uncomfortable.
You know what they say, less is more. In keeping with its predilection for orderly, liveable looks, Art Deco is also a lesson in restraint. Rather than cluttering every surface with objects, choose a few statement pieces, ideally with a practical use, and let them do all the talking.
Make it modern: Discreet storage solutions like lidded ottomans and decorative cabinets will be your best friend when it comes to disguising clutter and eliminating visual distractions.

ha! Well, I have six roosters!!!!They are not mean, though, and my son takes care of the poultry. We usually sleep through them, butI slept poorly last night, waking several times, once to the loud roosters roosting on the trees on two house corners...I thought, the neighbors must love that!
LOL @ pigs-yeah, I went through that last year, and a hot wire did NOT stop him. I finally had to house him and then sell him.
If I get a hurt goat leg I am coming straight to you for advice! Sounds like you are doing a great job!

This past Saturday, over 80 riders joined us for a fun fat bike ride and to learn more about Northern Michigan Mountain Bike Associations big goals for the future.
With temperatures near 20 degrees and the trails in simply immaculate shape, we were excited to see riders of all abilities get out to enjoy a fun afternoon jaunt on the Winter Sports Singletrack in Traverse City. With a half-dozen crockpots plugged in and doing their thing, we had just enough time to make the most of a firm base and an inch or two of fresh snow mixed in. For many riders, it was a chance to see groomers getting to enjoy the trails by bike, rather than snowmobile, with Mike Walters, John Roe, Chuck Hathaway, and Heath Day all giving us a lesson in bike handling.
Back at Banquet Hall, we settled in for some delicious food and great conversation. Folks on hand were able to enjoy a plethora of meatball options, pizza, salads, and all those potluck classics that we've been lucky to enjoy every winter season in Traverse City. We also got a sneak peak at the new NMMBA logo (no spoilers!) and plenty of talk about trail plans for 2018.
Of course, the biggest news of the night was the election of Chad Jordan as your new President. Chad has led the ReViSiT committee, working to reshape and enhance the Singletrack, as well as offered his time and expertise to the growing Winter Sports Trail at Leelanau State Park. He takes the reins from the hard-working Don Clewley. Don's energy has been instrumental in invigorating NMMBA and expanding our reach, our influence, and our purpose to more trails and more communities.
We're also excited to welcome Cody Sprattmoran to the board as the Bike Leelanau trail representative. She joins Tim Reicha from Glacial Hills and both Michele Andrews and Dustin Webb from Cadillac Pathway as the voice and muscle behind developing and very exciting trails systems all over Northern Michigan.
And if you're excited about see these trails for yourself, we've got some good news! With support from Short's Brewing Company and the directors of all three events, we're excited to announce the NMMBA Trail Series for 2018! The Series hopes to highlight the diverse, beautiful, and enjoyable riding in our region by encouraging racers and riders to try our three events. Anyone who pre-registers and takes on the Traverse City Trails Festival, Glacial Hills Challenge, and Bear Claw Epic will earn themselves a special edition NMMBA Trails Series water bottle, complete with a checklist of each event. Whether you're a serious racer or an adventurer, we invite you to see our great trails for yourself- and bring a friend, too!
If you're excited about 2018 and the years to come, we invite you to become a member of NMMBA and add your voice and support to our mission of making Northern Michigan a mecca for cycling and a pillar of our community.

Playacar holidays Ideal for couples or families who want to treat their loved ones to peace, tranquillity, and a slice of the high-life. Playacar might only be a five-minute drive from the buzzing centre of Playa del Carmen, but its location means that the parties, clubs, and bars are far enough away that you'd never know they were there. And when it's time to put on your party shoes, it's all virtually on your doorstep, giving you the perfect balance of laid-back and buzzing! The resort has every convenience you could want, all within walking distance, so there's no need to ever go into Playa del Carmen if you want to avoid the crowds of tourists and locals. If white-sanded beaches, turquoise waters, and splashes of verdant greenery are more your thing, holidays to Playacar could be just what the doctor ordered!
23°C to 28 °C
Playacar enjoys a subtropical climate throughout the year, with the rainy season falling in September.

Playacar's beaches are picture-perfect. Unlike the beaches closer to Playa del Carmen, you won't find beach bars or restaurants, so it's worth packing a picnic if you intend spending the day there. The waters are warm, clean, and clear, with plenty of opportunity for a touch of snorkelling or swimming.
Once again, the local Plaza is the place to go. Here, you'll find around a dozen restaurants, including pizzerias and a French patisserie. However, don't overlook the authentic Mexican restaurants, which offer local specialities as well as traditional Mexican food. With the sea right on your doorstep, trying the local seafood is a must, spiced with ancho chillies.
Peace and Tranquillity: Playacar is a gated holiday resort; ideal if you're holidaying with little ones. When it comes to kicking back and relaxing, you don't have to go any further than the beach. Dusted with white, powder-soft sands, lapped by clear, warm waters, and fringed by gently-swaying palm trees, the beach stretches from the south side of the harbour in Playa del Carmen and runs the entire length of the resort. Take a stroll south and you'll come across secluded bays, such as Inah Beach, tucked away between rocky coves.
Getting Out and About: A purpose-built resort, constructed with couples and families in mind. Golf enthusiasts will be able to keep on top of their game at the world-class Hard Rock Golf Club. Set among an exquisite and lush natural backdrop and overlooked by Mayan ruins, it's worth going for the view alone, even if your golf handicap is in three figures!
If cycling or exploring on foot is more your thing, the resort is encircled by a 6km trail, which takes you through some beautiful and exotic scenery, including ancient ruins and a spectacular bird sanctuary.
Couples and Families: While a holiday to Playacar might be focused on relaxation, you'll need the occasional break from all that sunbathing. The resort's plaza hosts family-friendly cultural events on a regular basis and, if your shopping muscles are feeling a little flabby, there are some quirky boutique shops to be found there. For something a little busier, it only takes around half an hour to walk to the famous 5th Avenue shopping area, which is also lined with some superb Mexican restaurants and a selection of friendly, family-run cafés.
Language: Spanish is the primary language spoken, although you'll find that most of the locals have a good command of English.
Currency: The currency used is the Mexican Peso, although some establishments will accept US Dollar.
Local Time: Playacar is six hours behind GMT/UK time.
Fly: Playacar is approximately 2km from Playa del Carmen Airport and 57km from Cancun International Airport.
Tourist information: Further tourist information can be found here.
Visa & Health: Before your holiday to Playacar, visit here for recommendations and advice on visas and health.
Temperature: 23°C to 28°C
If you're booking your Playacar holiday with a view to getting some much-needed sun, May is the month to aim for. With average temperatures of about 28°C and highs around 32°C, it's ideal for sun-bathing and making the most of the sea. However, with over 300 days of sunshine a year, the weather seems to be almost permanently set to 'summer'; even the coldest month, January, sees the mercury hovering around 23°C. September is when things get a bit wet, but the temperatures are still warm.
Spring Equinox: If you want your holidays to Playacar to involve a little of the magic of the Mayans, 20 March ought to be on your calendar, as this is the month when the pyramid at Chichen Itza comes into its own. Built to correspond with the rising and the setting sun, the shadows create the illusion of a gigantic serpent climbing up the 365 steps. However, if you can't wait, this spectacle is recreated on a nightly basis as part of the Sound and Light Show.
Carnival: February sees the biggest and brightest spectacle on the local calendar. Riviera Maya's answer to the Brazilian Mardi Gras, you'll hear traditional music, see flamboyant floats and stilt-walking giants, taste spicy street food, and soak up a party atmosphere that lasts all night!
Day of the Dead: For the first two days in November, locals honour the souls of the departed and celebrate the lives of those left behind. This isn't your usual sombre ceremony, it's bright, bold, and full of fun! You'll see masked ghouls dancing to live music, with plenty of eating and drinking involved. If you want to experience the true flavour of Mexico on your Playacar holidays, this is the event to catch.
By Car: Hire a car and explore the area at your own pace. There's little traffic and the roads are well maintained and well signposted.
By Bus: Bus services are dependable and efficient. Tickets can be bought from the local bus stations.
By Taxi: Taxis are in plentiful supply and can be pre-booked or hailed from the street.

BEIRUT, Lebanon — Some of the best stories are like treasures from the flea market: You find them while rummaging around, looking for something else.
That's what happened to me and my colleagues recently, when we broke a story about Saudi Arabia floating ideas for a Trump-backed Mideast peace plan that Palestinians found astonishing and unacceptable, and included rejecting their longstanding desire for a capital in East Jerusalem. It was published a few days before President Trump broke with half a century of United States policy and recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Our report has been bolstered by the work of other journalists at Reuters and elsewhere. Palestinian leaders recently declared they will not accept any peace plan from the United States.
We came across that scoop while on the trail of another story that seemed, at first, unrelated: a behind-the-scenes look at the Lebanese prime minister's strange days marooned in Saudi Arabia.
On the circuitous route to landing both stories, there were many stops and detours. We listened to a Palestinian militant sharing his anxiety about instability in the United States, and my children debating with their friends about the likelihood of war in Lebanon, where we live. We were invited to a family barbecue and a Saudi camel festival.
It all started in late November, when, like every journalist in Lebanon, we were digging to find out what, precisely, had just happened to the prime minister, Saad Hariri. The basics were not in question: He had abruptly flown to Saudi Arabia and resigned; officials came to realize he was being coerced; and after a diplomatic scramble, he flew home and declared he was not quitting after all. He wanted what happened in Saudi Arabia to stay in Saudi Arabia. We, of course, did not.
One Lebanese official compared his task, and ours, to examining the black box: We knew the had plane crashed, but we wanted to know how and why. We eventually told the tale here as best we could, with new details like Mr. Hariri being physically manhandled by Saudi security agents.
I put out feelers to my contacts, and so did Maria Abi-Habib. Maria is an old friend, but a new colleague, just hired from The Wall Street Journal's Beirut bureau. She is headed to The Times's Delhi bureau, but has not moved yet. So now, instead of competing, we combined our sources. That was how one story led to another.
From the start, the Hariri story opened new doors. One reason we rarely write about Lebanese politics is that many officials here stand on great ceremony: Despite wielding diluted power in a deadlocked government in a tiny state, they require long preparations and faxed questions before the simplest interview. This time, though, they kept telling us to come right over. They wanted to dish.
It was Maria who got the most tantalizing early tip. But it was a confusing one. She went to see a senior Lebanese official who, instead of talking about Mr. Hariri, began a tale about the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, and his recent trip to the Saudi capital, Riyadh. Maria looked so confused that the official paused to make sure she recognized Mr. Abbas's name.
Mr. Abbas, the official explained, had called Lebanese officials in alarm after his trip. He had learned, the official said, that the Saudis planned to further destabilize Lebanon: They wanted jihadist splinter groups in Lebanon's volatile, vulnerable Palestinian refugee camps to take up arms against Hezbollah, the Shiite militia backed by Saudi Arabia's rival Iran. Hezbollah happens to be the most powerful party in Lebanon's government.
It sounded crazy. But then again, so did one country effectively arresting another nation's leader.
So it was my turn to check with contacts. One, the Lebanon representative of a Palestinian militant faction, met me and my colleague Hwaida Saad in his unmarked office above a day care center. He is a jovial talker who likes to meet informally — over Lebanese manaeesh, flatbreads with thyme or cheese — but this time he was in a crisp suit, with two aides taking notes.
The refugee camp plans were real, he said. His group became concerned after hearing that a Lebanese politician close to Saudi Arabia had sent a proposal to jihadists in a Palestinian refugee camp, Ain al-Hilwe. The proposal was to help foment a "Sunni resistance" against Hezbollah — but even the most hotheaded jihadists refused.
But all that was nothing, the Palestinian said, compared with what the Saudis had told the Palestinian president about what might be in Mr. Trump's Middle East peace plan: No East Jerusalem capital, a state mainly in Gaza, with only limited sovereignty in the West Bank, Israeli settlers remaining on occupied land, no right of return...
Wait, I asked. So what was in it for the Palestinians? Nothing, he said.
Saudi Arabia and the White House denied the accounts, but Lebanese officials and French diplomats confirmed them, and a Palestinian member of Israel's Parliament said he had heard similar ideas from Americans and Israelis. So we wrote the story.
The original tip about Saudi plans to interfere in Lebanon's Palestinian camps turned out to be complicated. We parsed and synthesized several versions of the account. The Saudis denied it all.
In the absence of further clarity, the fears of a plot in the camps turned into just a few paragraphs in our Hariri story, which had plenty of other juicy elements. But that reporting thread led us to something more important: a sea change in parameters for a future Palestinian state that has only begun to shake the region.

Tragedy Girls is a 2017 horror comedy directed by Tyler MacIntyre, who co-wrote the movie with Chris Lee Hill. It follows the creative and warped exploits of two high school seniors in small town America with a little bit of senioritis and a heaping helping of sociopathic tendencies. Being a horror comedy, this is a film that lives and dies by how well it blends its laughs with its scares. To find out just how well it gets the job done, read on past the trailer for our spoiler heavy review. If you'd prefer a just as spoilery but less texty version of our take on the film, then hit that podcast button and give our review a listen instead. We give you options. Vote us for Class President.

Plot Synopsis
Sadie (Brianna Hildebrand) and McKayla (Alexandra Shipp) are total BFFs. They do everything together that you'd expect for some popular, pretty American high school girls. They head up the student council in planning prom, they're on the cheerleading squad, and they run a true crime social media account that reports on the the unfortunate demises of various locals. You know. Typical high school stuff…
Like most Gen Z'ers, Sadie and McKayla are totally glued to their phones and are constantly blogging, tweeting and insta'ing (I'm too old for this shit). Also like most Gen Z'ers, they're total narcissistic scumbags with an insatiable craving for the limelight and growth in their base of followers. Unlike most Gen Z'ers though, these girls have a fully fleshed out strategy for how to improve their fledgling media empire. We're talking deep, B-school level strategy here. A number of horizons are accounted for. I'm sure they had a matrix planning session and did some SWOT analyses at some point. To ensure the wallow-porn well not runneth dry, they take matters into their own hands. They locate the local serial killer, Lowell Orson Lehmann (Kevin Durand), and capture him with the goal of teaming up so they can improve the volume and quality of documentation around local killings. Because he's a psychopathic serial killer, he refuses, so they keep him hostage and simply begin killing people themselves. We call that removing the middleman, kids.
Sadie and McKayla strategically choose their targets. They kill off the competition, motorcycle riding heartthrob, Toby (Josh Hutcherson) to ensure they have the largest active account and monopolize the content. They ixnay the annoying underclassman cheer captain, Syl (Savannah Jade), and they even take out firefighting hero, Big Al (Craig Robinson) because he threatens to interfere and hunt down the killer on the loose.
As is required in every tale of high school friendship, the waters get choppy when their video editing friend, Jordan (Jack Quaid) begins to suspect McKayla is behind the killings. Meanwhile, Lehmann escapes and convinces McKayla that Sadie isn't a real friend and is simply using her. The two have a falling out before prom, leaving Sadie to attend with Jordan while McKayla and Lehmann team up to continue killing townspeople. McKayla is able to coax Sadie away from the dance where the two get into a confrontation. Lehmann attempts to stab Sadie but McKayla shoots and kills him. With newfound vigor, the two make up and reveal to Jordan that they had killed his mother when they were young children, implying that they have actually been killing for the past decade. They then hang Jordan and light the gym on fire using the props they had ordered for prom as kindling, killing basically the entire class.
As the sole survivors the two girls become media darlings, and use the opportunity to parlay their account into further stardom. Lehmann is blamed for the killings and Sadie and McKayla head off to college with full-blown star potential and a brand new arena to play their sick fucking game in.
What the Movie Does Right
Horror comedies are often fairly meta, with many references to the classics, tongue-in-cheek self awareness of genre tropes, and even some clever subversions of genre norms along the way. Tragedy Girls has some of that, for sure, but it is also successful as a comedy itself. This is a funny movie with laugh out loud moments sprinkled throughout. At times it feels like Superbad for the horror fan. It's fairly common for the humor in these kinds of movies to be the scenario itself and the clever awareness of our expectations for how the proceedings will play out. Tragedy Girls is more humorous in a traditional sense with extremely well written characters doing their worst throughout the film. Hildebrand and Shipp both turn in excellent performances and are charming to the point that you easily root for them despite their despicable nature.
All that being said, this is still a horror movie. The ultra-squeamish probably won't be laughing when a head is cleaved in half with a machete or a body is dismembered by disturbingly giddy girls. In particular, the final scene of the movie really nails the horror that lies at the core of the story. When Sadie and McKayla trap the entire school in the gym and burn them alive, there is a tonal shift that takes things from funny to disturbing very quickly. It was an impactful moment and a quick reminder that the movie is actually really dark, despite the fact that you've been spewing beer on the screen from the jokes for the past 90 minutes.
Finally, a quick shout out is required for the licensed soundtrack in this one. There are a ton of popular, catchy tracks used in the film and they fit the overall mood developed extremely well. Watching the girls texting each other about their plans for the next murder in a chat-bubble-filled, pastel-colored haze while a Cults song joyfully belts in the background is a delightfully synergistic experience.
What the Movie Does Wrong
There are some highly unbelievable aspects of the spree that is Sadie and McKayla's life. For example, how the fuck is McKayla able to hit seemingly everyone's phone with a text/photo/video seemingly at will? Wouldn't that be traceable? Wouldn't there at least be an attempt to track it? Wouldn't the authorities become more involved than they do? The girls don't seem overwhelmingly cunning or capable of covering their tracks, and they run a goddamn blog and social media channel about the exact thing that would be investigated. They would have caught some significant heat.
I was able to suspend my disbelief and focus on the comedy for the most part, but it's something that will likely pop back into your mind a few times over the course of the film. This is never more true than with Lehmann's situation. For a mountain of a man (they called him "Tree" in Mystery Alaska, ok?), he was not gonna be held captive to a desk chair with some twine like that for very long. Did he just want to hang out?
Another nit that I think needs to be pointed out are the masks from the final sequence of the film. They weren't used for anything. The only real reason for them would have been to hide their identities for a big set piece and daring escape, but McKayla really only puts it to use when she first confronts Sadie. Yeah, they look cool but there's no reason for it. They should have at least made an appearance in auditorium while donning them and then burned that mother down. Simple solution. Why the movie didn't go for it is beyond me (unless it's on the cutting room floor. Which is highly possible).
Ratings (1-10)
Story: 6 - This story isn't going to blow you away with its novelty. Some messed up girls commit murders and use society & social media's fascination with the macabre to their own benefit while using another serial killer to be their fall-man.
World-Building / Immersion: 6 - This is where I'm going to pot the comedic prowess of this movie. There are some legitimately funny scenes in this movie and it uses humor to put you on the side of the two main girls, despite you knowing you shouldn't want to be in their camp. The acting is extremely solid and the set pieces are entertaining enough that you'll find yourself interested despite some quite notable immersion breakers in the mix.
Scare-Factor: 2 - If you really hate gore, this will probably get to you a bit, but this is primarily a comedy with a dark/horror-related story.
Effects (or Judicious Lack Thereof): 6 - Some of the effects look a little janky (like Hutcherson's broken arm), but the movie usually steers clear of any particularly sticky situations by not showing too much. Bonus point for the licensed soundtrack.
Overall: 6.5 - I enjoyed this movie more than my scores would entail on their own. I used the word before, so I'll use it again; there's some synergy going on here. It wouldn't be my first recommendation for someone in the horror genre, but if we were talking horror comedies, it's one of the more enjoyable entries of the past couple years.

Pte. Sydney Hallimore
Bridgewater Bulletin, May 15, 1917.
A telegram was received Tuesday morning at 9:30 stating that Pte. Sydney Hallimore, recently invalided home, with the loss of a leg, would arrive by train. Steps were at once taken for a suitable demonstration. The 69th. band was called together, autos and teams decorated, and the school children and citizens marched to the depot. Pte. Hallamore was escorted around the town and then dined with his pastor, Rev. B.D. Knott. The band rendered several choice selections at the parsonage. Mr. W.H.S. Zwicker with his Overland conveyed him in the afternoon to his home at New Cornwall. We extend our thanks to the conductor for his thoughtfulness in notifying the agent at the depot.

AUTHOR INTERVIEW: Cameron Macintosh
I recently reviewed one of Cameron Macintosh's fun junior-fiction books, in the Max Booth Future Sleuth series (here is the link), and now I'm thrilled that Cameron agreed to sit down and chat for a Q&A. Read on to find out about this Aussie author's creative process, new series, writing tips and more:
Can you tell us a bit about your series, and the themes/issues it explores?
My pleasure – the series is called Max Booth Future Sleuth, and it follows the adventures of a future street kid, Max, and his robo-dog, Oscar, as they struggle to make a living in the year 2424. Fortunately, Max has a knack for identifying mysterious objects from back in the 20th and 21st centuries – a knack that allows him to make a few dollars from the museum. Unfortunately, his missions to learn about these objects get him into trouble with opportunistic adults who'd like to take the credit – and the cash – for his discoveries.
So far we've released two books in the series: Tape Escape and Selfie Search. The first book is about Max's encounter with a tape (the 1980s cassette kind). Book two deals with a mobile phone that was used more for self-portraiture than for telecommunications (unthinkable In 2017!)
How do you hope readers will connect with these books, and/or what do you want them to take away from the series?
More than anything, I hope these books contribute to kids' love of reading – hopefully through the stories' mystery elements, humour and occasional pathos. I'd be particularly happy if they can give reluctant readers confidence to tackle slightly longer texts too. That has been very much in my mind as I've written them.
As a bonus, I'd love to think that the series could get kids thinking about the future world we're all currently creating, and to think about the environmental or social consequences of the decisions we make in our day-to-day lives. The stories touch lightly on class distinctions and injustices – it'd be great if they could get kids thinking about these, and how they could be avoided in future (Vote 1 – Max Booth for Nobel Peace Prize, 2424!)
What do you find helps you to stay creative? When and where are you at your most creative?
I'm quite the introvert, so I find solitude to be essential for idea percolation (not to mention sanity!) – even just a half-hour walk can do the trick, as long as the phone stays at home…
In my more extroverted moments, I try to sponge up inspiration from reading, of course, but also from experiences and forms of creativity that mightn't seem to have much to do with writing on the surface. I'm always amazed how story ideas can be sparked by wandering through a forest or a gallery, or by going to see a band or a play.
I'm definitely at my most creative after 10 pm (not very convenient!), or at a café with a notebook in front of me. If my writing career flops, I'll think about opening a string of 24-hour cafés for night-owl creatives – I'm sure there's a silent army out there who need a place to drag their laptops after sunset!
Do you have any suggestions on some ways parents, teachers, librarians, booksellers and readers can get more out of the book? For example, questions to discuss or ponder, activities to do etc.
That's a great question. I've actually tried to address this directly by writing teaching notes, worksheets and activities to help teachers use the books in class. Parents could use these at home too. They can be found and downloaded on the Big Sky Publishing website, on the page for Tape Escape. The notes include links to the Australian Curriculum, to make things easier for teachers.
Where do you do your writing, and do you have any particular rituals in your creative process?
I do most of my writing at my desk at home, but frequently get restless and crave a change of scene, so I have a few local cafés that I tend to haunt.
The closest thing to a ritual I have is that I usually write my first drafts longhand. It makes the first draft quite a slog, but when I do this – as opposed to typing or using a dictation app – the draft usually needs a lot less rewriting down the track.
Do you have some tips for other creatives?
If you have a really strong vision for your work, trust that vision and follow it wherever it leads. Before you put it out for any kind of commercial consideration, find some trusted co-creatives to ask for feedback. I'm lucky enough to have a long-term writing group that meets each month. No egos – just honest feedback and encouragement. I'd be in big trouble without it.

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot. Eleanor Roosevelt
Most of us know Procrastination but where does it really come from?
Procrastination derives from the deep down fear of failure and rejection in us. Most of us have experienced Procrastination in one area of our life or another and many of you might even know someone who has made a real habit out of it.
Even though common, Procrastination can be dangerous for individuals who have difficulty fighting it. Procrastination is often the beginning to the habit of denial. Not acting on what you know to be right is what gets you in the direction you most likely regret.
The only lasting cure to Procrastination is to stand up and be honest. To say "You know what, this is not the kind of job I wanted for my life." "You know, this is not the kind of relationship I thought I would have". "I really did think I could have more and be more than what currently is". As difficult as it might be, facing something you did not want to settle for is the only action which will help you change your habits.
Many of us guard our comfortzone more dearly than our health, our relationships and our career. We are so used to saying "It is what it is" or "it's not too bad" that we've become real close to a place where we put our own wishes to sleep.
The turning point that changes it all, is to bravely say "You know, honestly, by now I actually wanted to have that job, I actually wanted to have a better relationship with my children, I wanted my business to run well". The shocking realization of your own disappointment with yourself is exactly what you need to make lasting changes and get where you want to be.
There are times in your life to be gentle to yourself, and then there are times to be brutally honest with yourself and what it is you are willing to settle for. Asking yourself the hard questions is difficult at first, but becomes easier and more rewarding with every action.
We will always have areas in our life to work on, and at the same time it is crucial to face the areas which are holding you back the most. What would that be for you? Where do you feel like you don't want to settle?

Floyd Mayweather Shows Off 100 Million Dollar Check
Retired boxer Floyd Mayweather has a lot of time on his hands. Today, he randomly posted a photo of a Bank of America business check written out to him from his Mayweather Promotions company. The check (pictured below), was from his fight with Manny Pacquaio last May.
Gotta love these backseat drivers so worried about another man's legacy instead of trying to write their own. Ultimately, I will always have the last laugh. This is just one of my many checks, a cool $100,000,000.00 that I still have every dime of. Y'all still have to work however, I'm happily retired. At the end of the day, it's them Benjamin Franklins that matter to me, so the jokes on you. I've made smart investments, sorry for those who thought that I couldn't read, write, or count. Y'all call them watches, I call them time pieces. Y'all call them boats, I call them yachts. Y'all call them houses, I call them mansions. Y'all charter jets and we own jets. #TMT
It's interesting Mayweather chose to post this check now, with rumors of a potential rematch with Manny gaining steam.

Social media can have a very high return on investment. Unfortunately, it's very possible to get lost in spending countless hours scoping out, perfecting, and posting your content. Though the time time you spend building a solid social media strategy is never wasted, it can take a big, unnecessary chunk out of your workweek. Follow these simple tips on cutting your social media marketing time in half.
1. Automate!
Social media automation is most likely the best method to save time on executing your strategy. Free software like Hootsuite and Buffer give you the option to schedule posts for any day and time. This is also great if you are working with an editorial calendar, and want to schedule your posts far in advance. With social media automation, you can execute your social media strategy within just a few hours or less per week.
2. Curate Content as You Go
Scoping out relevant and engaging content is by far the most time-consuming aspect of any social media strategy. You can spend hours searching for the right content, being led from one site to the next, and ultimately still finding nothing to share. Instead of designating a chunk of time for your content search, try keeping an eye out for relevant content as you go along your day, and bookmark it for later. Adding relevant sites to your RSS feed can also help you curate your content easily throughout your week.
3. Share Other's Content
Sharing content is a great way to grow your social media connections as well as cut down the time you spend finding and sharing information. Sharing, re-tweeting, or pinning take only a few seconds to add content to your page.
4. Stock Photos
When creating your own own social media content, it can take time to find the perfect photo through a web search. Not only that, but most photos are not high-quality, and take up even more time needing to be re-touched and edited. Investing in a popular stock photo site can help you instantly find that perfect photo to go with your blog or social media post.
5. Keep It Simple
Your social media strategy doesn't have to be a complex endeavor. Most of the time, viewers on social media are looking for quick information and fast reads. You only have about a second to capture someone's attention. In this case, simple is always better. Spending time crafting the absolute perfect, lengthy post won't always get you better results.
6. Leave It to the Experts
Even after applying the tips above, we understand that you still might not have the time or resources to execute an effective social media marketing strategy. At Admail West, we've had repeated success in launching social media campaigns and bringing success to our clients. If you're interested in leaving your social media marketing to the experts, contact Admail West today!

Always a visionary in technological advances that would ensure the best use of time in those precious moments, Russ had a cell phone in a time when they were cutting edge technology so that he could be as efficient as possible in transporting patients. Fast forward to today, where Russ operates a fleet of 75 units with a team of 20 trained customer service professionals dispatching units using GPS and internet call technology. From one man to over 200 employees, Trans-Care still holds the family values that served as the foundation for this company over 25 years ago.
Operating under the slogan, "It's About People," Trans-Care takes pride in its customer service, maintaining they provide the highest level of care utilizing some of the most advanced technology and equipment encompassed with some of the most innovative protocols in the ambulance industry.
Ferrell is able to offer some of the highest wages in the state because of his efficiency in the operation of his business. Trans-Care is not only an ambulance service, it has a full-service mechanics' bay where everything from fabrication of ambulances to repair to routine maintenance takes place. TCI Service Center not only saves Ferrell money on vehicles but also has become a profit for him by serving as a mechanic service to other companies with fleet vehicles including FedEx contractors, Aramark Uniforms, Local Maintenance Companies, Ceres Solutions and more.
Recently, Trans-Care assumed operations over the Veterans Affairs hospital in Indianapolis, which previously contracted with about 20 ambulance services. Now, Trans-Care manages it all, saving VA nearly $2 million per year with the highest efficiencies ever seen.
Rounding out the family business are Russell's two sons, Nicholas and Justin, both Indiana State University graduates with bachelor's degrees in finance.
Justin fondly remembers growing up in the business. "As a kid, I always wanted to be with Dad at work. I have an unlimited amount of memories. I can remember clear back to the beginning, and it's helped shape me into the businessman I am today."
Nick states, "When I was a teenager, I would cut the grass, file paperwork, be present during some meetings, and get familiarized with the business structure. I distinctly remember when there were less than 10 employees working for Trans-Care. My dad has taught me that to be successful, you have to be able to take care of others: your community, your direct employees, your family."
Nick Ferrell serves as General Manager of the Indianapolis location, while Justin Ferrell operates out of Terre Haute as the General Manager with primary responsibilities of overseeing day-to-day operations, utilization, and TCI Service Center.
"Working with family is easy for me because we can hold each other accountable and push the vision of the company with three different people," states Justin. "This is much easier than trusting someone that doesn't have stake in the company."
"Working with my dad and brother makes it possible for us to be direct with one another when we need to develop solutions," agrees Nick. "We might not always agree, but I think being family lets us be more direct with each other, which gets a quicker solution. We know that, at the end of everything, we are still family. We all have the same end goal. Growing a local-owned business. Giving back to the community. Knowing that we are improving the quality of medical transportation."
For this family, the future of Trans-Care means building a bigger, better, and stronger medical transportation company – to educate communities about medical transportation and how a well-run medical transportation company can positively affect outcomes through medical attention or being able to safely get a patient from one location to the next.
"Trans-Care is my life," says Justin. "My dad has been molding me for 28 years and has put me in position to run the companies at such a young age. I was a born businessman, and it just what I love to do."
Each day, Trans-Care serves an estimated 20 counties across the state of Indiana. It has a base of operations in Terre Haute, Indianapolis, Columbus, and Vincennes, Indiana, and is currently investigating two other markets to set up stations.

I am sure most of us have spent some time at the Roebuck Bay Hotel (or Roey as it is affectionately known). We stopped into the Roey to see if the general manager (Stew) could tell us some interesting facts about the place.
How big is the actual pub?
4 square metres short of a hectare not including Skylla
Who many people would you have through the pub on a big day?
up to 1000
What is the biggest day of the year for the pub?
Thursday before the Broome Cup
Tell us some of the less known things about the pub?
It's still on tidal ground – occasionally, on big tides, water can be seen in certain areas of the property.

How I Improved My Lithium Battery In One Day
These batteries meet the wants of a variety of gadgets. one hundred sixty five A defective battery can cause a serious hearth eleven Defective chargers can affect the safety of the battery as a result of they can destroy the battery's protection circuit. While lithium battery pack charging, a greater indicator is how much present is flowing into the battery. For its next-era SCiBTM, Toshiba has developed a titanium niobium oxide anode materials that has double the lithium storage capacity by volume of the graphite-based mostly anodes usually used in lithium-ion batteries.
If Tesla reaches its goal of 50,000 annual sales of the Mannequin S in 2015, that mannequin alone will account for more battery capability than all of the batteries in new laptops, tablets, and cellphones offered that yr mixed. I'm wondering if gadgets which do allow themselves to be powered whereas charging (telephones, ipads and many others) simply rely on utilizing solely sufficient current to allow the charger current to drop below the edge or if they use another methodology of not confusing" the charger.
The a lot increased energy density provided by lithium ion batteries is a definite benefit. I actually do not understand how much votage charge my battery is getting however I wish to keep away from the two extremes of 4.2V charging and likewise under 20% the place it places pressure on it. Inner quick circuits could occur in a lithium-ion battery because of, for example, lithium dendrite formation or a compressive shock.
No, I do not think so. I suspect your 7.4v is definitely a battery of two three.7v cells, 3.7 x 2 = 7.4. There isn't any requirement for this with lithium ion cells and batteries. Slicing-edge lithium-ion technology reviewed by teachers and main engineers. Furthermore, the discharge fee affects the performance of lead acid batteries.
While your telephone and charger are generally sensible enough to minimize harm from excessive-voltage chargers, a whole lot of power super fast can generate further warmth. Automotive applications, particularly, have stringent requirements for security, value, lifetime, and different performance metrics. When the water-in-salt electrolyte was introduced, I assumed that making a steady polymer model would transform the best way that Li-ion batteries are made and used," mentioned Kostas Gerasopoulos, senior research scientist and principal investigator at APL.
That stated, from the explanations on this page I might say that 1C" is both a typical and secure charge charge, but also that charging at decrease charges might give you more cost cycles. This report presents the outcomes of Part II of the undertaking which is a comparative flammability characterization of widespread lithium ion batteries to standard commodities in storage.

Built-in car camera
The Garmin DriveAssist is a reliable witness to events. It has been equipped with a built-in car camera that constantly records the course of the journey. If a collision occurs, the event detection function (G sensor) will automatically save the files. The GPS module records precise information about the place and time of the event.
The navigation device provides the ability to easily play back recordings and display a map indicating the place of the event. If you want, you can later view the recording on your computer using the Dash Cam Player . The device has the function of taking pictures, so you can remove the device from the vehicle to take a photo of the damage from a close up after a collision. Included is a removable microSD memory card for recording (Class 10).
Innovative warning functions for the driver
The Garmin DriveAssist navigation device uses the truck-assisted warning and warning functions for the driver to encourage safe driving and increase situational awareness. The parking assistant function in the garage makes it easy to enter the garage. When you stop the car at an intersection or in traffic, the "Drive" alert will notify you when the vehicles in front of you start to move.

The new year is well and truly underway. I'm on my day off sitting outside café con leche, and best of all, the sun is shining. Yes of course, I'm not in England.
I'm just finishing the last couple of days of our training camp out in Mallorca. It's the training camp the guys at British Cycling arrange to help us get rid of our Turkey-stuffed bellies.
The camp itself is going well, we have a few of these throughout the year and this one I'm feeling decent. We've had road rides every day, with some days being a double day with intense training sessions in the hotel, be it gym or turbo.
The temperature here generally sits just below fifteen degrees, which in fairness feels like 40 when you're used to waking up to minus one in good old Shropshire
I also have two massive bits of news to tell you all.
Firstly, I no longer ride for Team Wiggins. My contract came to an end and I'm very pleased to say, I now ride for Team Canyon-Eisberg.
Team Wiggins are heading in a new direction, they're focusing on being purely a development team, concentrating on under-23's which is something I most definitely am not!
I had some great times with Team Wiggins over the last 3 years, we certainly looked one of the best teams. As an old DS said to me never sacrifice style for speed!
However now, I'm on to my next adventure. Previously called Bike Channel-Canyon, Canyon-Eisberg have formed an exciting team and I hope to bring all my experience and help them progress to new heights.
This started two weeks ago, which brings me on nicely to my other exciting news.
Finally as part of the Pedalsure team I was able to win the Revolution series. It's the third year I've been part of the team and this year finally we got to win. I even managed to just sneakily beat Ed Clancy in a sprint, which is very rare and which, of course, I'll be reminding him about for years to come!
The JLT boys give us a good run for our money but we came out on top, taking the overall title on the night. Pedalsure have been great backers of the Revolutions over the past few years so, on a personal note, I was pleased to be able to give them a victory in return for their support.
However, Ed and Jon Mould did set a new WR for the Madison time trial which was amazing. It's always good to see your teammates do well, even if on Revolution Series nights, they aren't technically teammates.
Given what he puts into the sport, Ed deserves everything he gets out of it and I was cheering as loudly as anyone when the two of them tore round the track in that ridiculous time.It was a good, fun start to 2018 and I hope to keep this good form going throughout. This year, after all, has the Commonwealth Games in April and the Worlds a month before, so to hit form now is a massive bonus, I've just got to concentrate on keeping myself fit and focussed.
It's an exciting year for me, a new team, a new outlook and a new goal so, bring it on.

Childish Gambino Drops Two Bangers "Summertime Magic" + "Feels Like Summer"
Written by B87FM on July 12, 2018
"Summertime Magic" is a romantic and nostalgic jam about summer love. "You feel like summertime / You took this heart of mine / You'll be my valentine in the summer," sings Gambino.
"Feels Like Summer" is a laid-back Sade-inspired bop. "You can feel it in the streets / On a day like this, the heat / It feels like summer," sings Gambino over the lush percussion.
"Summertime Magic" is the first official single from Gambino's forthcoming debut album on Wolf+Rothstein/RCA Records. It marks the follow-up to "This Is America," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and went platinum in just three weeks.
This fall, he will hit the road with Rae Sremmurd and Vince Staples on a North American tour, coming to Boston on September 12th. Get more info HERE!

It's unfathomable.still seems bothered by the New Mets demoting him to the bullpen.And she has the 'it' factor.Stalock allowed five goals on 28 shots a 5 overtime loss to the Kings on Thursday.
I had them replace the cold, dungeon doors with windows, he told The Buffalo News December.is also a non-factor as a receiver increasingly pass-heavy league.I think it's just having the ability to make plays, he explains.
It felt like I had two combines, he said of the inquiries.For UCF receiver J.J.He said catch punts with a chuckle, exposing to anyone listening that he's telling the truth when he says it's something he loves to do.Prior experience: He made his debut on July 1 at Belmont, finishing third a maiden race."As we continue to shuffle and retool our roster, at some point time we have overload at one spot." Amaechi, acquired by the Rockets during the preseason for Glen Rice, has been on 's injured list all .

Almost impossibly, prediction has already begun.What's more, if you like at +4, shop around on different wagering sites to find a spread of +4.For now, though, said Menelik Watson would remain at right tackle.Here are the best options to improve the pass rush via PFF: Galette: For starters, it is likely the team would stay away from Galette because of his off-the-field issues, but his production makes him at least worth a look.
Grimes and Saints fullback Kuhn were teammates at Shippensburg .
But that is bound to happen when it is the only show set on a different Earth .New Orleans needed it and the world wanted them to have it.I get that people want to the vicious, aggressive knockout artist who thumped Hieron, Koscheck and Lawler, but there is something to be said for fighting intelligently and pitching a shutout against a guy who was dragging everyone to the canvas and suffocating them with his Jiu jitsu.

MSD Animal Health: Thyroid campaign
Thyroid Campaign
Thyroid Campaign
We were approached by MSD to create a new identity for an educational campaign to help pet owners understand under- and overactive thyroids in cats and dogs and how to spot if an animal has these symptoms. With a cartoon dog already created, who we named Hypo,we were also tasked with creating a cartoon cat character, Hyper, who would act as the hero of the cat side of the campaign. The identity would lead a national pet thyroid week initiative to encourage conversation in practices.
Mobas used the symptoms angle to create an SOS theme ('spot our symptoms'). The branding, a mixture of the product colour palettes and MSD branding, was created to have stand-out in waiting rooms. Using a stock library and Photoshop work, Mobas developed a hero cat that aligned with Hypo the dog.
The SOS stamp with the characters formed the identity and would be used across all roll-out.
Following approval of the identity, a series of pet owner facing materials were created including: a video animation explaining the symptoms and treatment options, social media posters, posters and SOS checklists. Emailers, online banners and website content for veterinary professionals were also created to help create a buzz round the thyroid week and embed the identity within the community.
The web activity for vets proved successful with higher than average click-through rates in comparison to other content being pushed. Feedback from the sales team was that materials were extremely well received with both practice staff and pet owners.
