Ensure learners have opportunities to hear, see and use new vocabulary in a variety of contexts, as part of deepening their understanding of the concepts and developing knowledge and skill in the subject or vocational area.
Provide plenty of opportunities for formal and informal discussion in the subject classes, so that learner can express what they think, know and wonder about the concepts and topics you are exploring. When learners express in spoken language their thoughts and views and understandings, it helps them to clarify their thinking and develop communication skills. It will also help you as the teacher to hear and clarify any misunderstandings or questions that arise in relation to the topic.
Encourage confidence and skill in verbal communication through activities such as:
- role-play or simulations;
- verbal presentations by individual learners to the whole group;
- team games involving discussion and negotiation within teams and turn-taking in presenting the team's answers or solutions to the whole group;
- structured group discussion;
- debates;
- learners teaching each other;
- asking learners to do some of the routine spoken communication that you would normally do yourself - for example, on a catering course, using the phone to place orders with suppliers.
Helping learners follow and understand a talk or verbal instructions:
A lot of learning can take place when the teacher summarises, describes, explains, and the learners listen actively and with a purpose. This method is most effective when:
- learners get some initial preparation;
- talk is carefully structured and timed;
- listening is active, not passive;
- follow-up activities consolidate learning.
Before your talk:
Introduce the topic, including any key words that might be new to the group.
Ask the learners to do something to prepare to focus on the topic: for example, to think about what the key words might mean; to discuss what they already know about this topic, or to say what they would like to know. You could also set a task for learners to help them focus on the talk: for example, 'listen carefully so that after the talk you can make a diagram summarising the three main points'.
During the talk:
- Explain any new or unfamiliar words, or words that may be familiar but mean different things in this context. Revisit and remind learners of these words and their meanings when the chance comes up during your talk.
- Structure what you say in ways that help learners to actively follow, understand and think about it. For example:
- Say how long you will be talking for - how long the group will need to focus on your talk.
- Preview the overall content of the talk: say how many main points you will cover and give a one-line summary of each.
- Break the talk up into short, manageable sections based on the main points.
- Pause after each section to ask questions to check out understanding, and to encourage questions so that you can clarify or briefly recap before you move on.
- At the end, re-state the overall topic, give a one-line recap on each of the main points, and summarise the key learning point/s.
- Invite comments and questions.
If you are going to speak for more than twenty minutes, stop after ten minutes, and again at ten minute intervals to give the listeners a small, quick 'energiser': for example, "discuss this question with your neighbour for 60 seconds," or fill in a checklist, change seats, ask questions.
After your talk:
- Allow enough time for the learners to process the main points and to formulate their questions, opinions and comments.
- Facilitate individual and group activities to help in this. Ask learners to discuss the topic in pairs and/or in small groups as time allows.
- Give a small number of questions to focus and guide their discussion. For example learners could individually identify, then share and discuss in pairs and small groups:
- one main point they learned from the talk;
- two or three details associated with the main point;
- one point they already knew and would like to comment on or add to; and
- one question they have about the content.
- Ask learners to do something to sum up their learning from or response to the talk and the discussions. For example, they could make a 3-D model, paint a picture, make a mind-map, compose a rap, or write a 140-character tweet to help them understand and explain the main points.
Note-taking from talks:
Taking notes on the content of a talk is a complex literacy task which involves several skills: the ability to listen; to write quickly; to use abbreviations; to summarise key points; and to tell the difference between main points and details and examples. If learners want or need to take notes during the talk, it would be worth spending some time sharing ideas and examples of how to do this, in the context of your subject area.
One suggestion could be to use a graphic organiser: a format or structure for recording the key points. There are many variations possible. There are also alternatives to use a template: learners could, for example, use flow-charts, or mind – maps. Over time, in the early phases of the course, introduce learners to a few different formats for taking useful notes. The choice will depend on the purpose of the talk and on learners' preferences.

The Strider 12 Sport Balance Bike 2018 Model is a well designed and constructed balance bike with a few added tweaks and tonnes of accessories, a perfect fit for your budding biker from 18 months to 5 years old.
We still have a limited number of Strider 12 Sport 2017 in Red, Blue and Black if you'd like a deal. The only difference is that they have the standard footrest.
The STRIDER 12 Sport Balance Bike 2018 Model has had a small facelift. They've listened to customer feedback and the balance bike now comes with a slightly altered saddle shape and performance footrests just like in the Pro model. All the other great features are unchanged which makes it the perfect choice for kids aged from 18 months to 5 years old.
|Handle Bars
Unique 12.7mm steel handlebar is 43% smaller than standard to allow better control with tiny hands. Mini-grips are soft urethane with protective ends. Machined-aluminum quick release clamps allow for 'no tools' height adjustment from 46-56cm (18-22").
|Wheels & Tyres
Ultralight one-piece five-spoke design with 10 bearing support gussets for maximum strength at the lightest weight possible. Top-quality sealed cartridge bearings roll smooth and never need adjustment.
12 inch EVA polymer (industrial foam) tyres are super light and durable yet offer a smooth ride. They never need air and are puncture proof.
|NEW Shape Padded Seat
The durable, all-weather padded mini-saddle is designed for beginning riders and their tiny hips. Smaller, narrower, and lighter than a typical saddle, this seat allows for proper riding position and posture. The Sport model includes an extra long seatpost which allows seat height adjustments from 28cm (11″) up to 48cm (19") with a quick release 'no tools' clamp for easy height adjustments on the go.
|NEW Performance Foot Rests
Unique, patented frame-integrated footrests are properly positioned directly below the saddle for natural bike balance. This position also fosters the advanced ability to stand while coasting.
|Break Mount
This allows the addition of a foot-operated brake once the kids are proficiently gliding with feet on the footrests.
Foot operated brakes sold separately in Bike Spare Parts. It's not recommended to fit this initially as it's safer for your child to learn to stop with their feet.
|Optional Air Tyres
If the rider is a little older (3yrs +), stronger and can handle the added weight of the pneumatic system you can purchase a set of air wheels to swap with the foam filled tyres on your existing frame. Buy now from Bike Spare Parts.
For beginning riders or really young/lightweight riders, we still recommend the standard EVA polymer wheel set due to its light weight.

Die Wombles sind im Kommen
As a member of a Wombles-related online discussion group, I've received an email message which refers to the German version of Remember You're a Womble. Life gets stranger. Byron was once described as "mad, bad and dangerous to know". My autobiography might just end up with the title Mad, sad and bewildering to know at this rate.

I saw MANCHESTER BY THE SEA and it's one of the best movies I've seen this year. It's a very small story in a small town, but the emotions are huge to the point of being overwhelming. It's a story of grief, guilt, and loss, all played beautifully by the actors. Casey Affleck is fantastic; his performance is so restrained. There are many times when another actor would go all out, but he has the discipline and talent to get the message across with less. And though Michelle Williams has a smaller role, her character's pain is almost palpable.
What I didn't expect was for it to be so funny. There are times when the movie feels like a buddy movie, in the most classic sense. The writing is terrific.
I left thinking that excessive drinking can really fuck up your life and, more importantly, that it's critical that we live and love to the fullest of our capacities and be present for every delicious little moment. My ex told me there's a saying in Chinese that translates into: "tonight you go to sleep, tomorrow you don't know if you can put your shoes on."

In this article Ignacio Hurtado, alumnus of the Master of International Business Administration year 2010-2011 tells us how the MIBA he took at the Universidad Carlos III of Madrid contributed to his international vocation and also to open opportunities in his career. Currently, Ignacio is a Retail Account Manager for Google at their San Francisco offices in the United States.
"This story begins in 2009; that January, like all the students in my year, I was working hard, studying for the last leg of my course, which would come to an end in a few months. Opening up before me was a vast horizon of opportunities and alternatives; that was positive and stimulating, of course, but at the same time the breadth of the spectrum meant I had to do something quite scary, take a big step: choose a career path.
Among the possibilities I was considering at the time were, among others: entering the job market, going abroad again to gain experience overseas or taking a master's degree / specialization.
One day I stopped to think about it seriously, and I asked myself this: What is it that I really like doing, and would like to do for the next few years? The question came up because I felt that I had taken courses in Business Administration and Management at the UC3M which would be an excellent foundation for working in the world of business but which, at the same time, seemed too general. It was as though I knew a little about everything, but not a great deal about anything in particular. So I racked my brains and tried to identify the things which had motivated me up to that point and those which had particularly interested me.
An international vocation
In my particular case, the things which stood out were my trips abroad, my international experience in the USA and Belgium (on exchanges and then one year on the Erasmus programme, respectively); the interest I had in different cultures and my passion for languages. In parallel, I realised that from the academic viewpoint the subjects which had most interested me had been those related to international marketing, international business management, foreign trade, the accounting systems of different countries, and so on.
I developed academically by understanding the world as a global market, with a tendency to bring down barriers, and ready to be filled with products and companies designed to establish themselves and be distributed worldwide.
So now I was beginning to have a clearer idea of what motivated me and, above all, which path would allow me to combine my personal interests with the world of business.
Business conclusions from the economic crisis
In addition to the two factors mentioned above (personal and academic motivations), there was a third, of equal importance. I graduated in 2009, as I said, and at that time my country, Spain, was mired in one of the worst economic crises in its history. On the positive side, there was a useful lesson to be learned from the crisis: it taught many companies that they cannot afford to rely on domestic demand alone; if they are to grow they must break into emerging foreign markets and seize opportunities. In fact, this is reflected in the Spanish balance of trade, which has been progressively reducing its dependence on imports and their weight in favour of the exportation of goods and services.
In short, inside enterprises and companies, export departments were gaining influence, and the race for internationalization was on. Besides the other two factors, this was the final spur which made me opt for specializing in International Business Administration.
Master's Degree at Carlos III, the best decision
The Master's (MIBA) was great and I can truthfully say it was exactly what I was looking for. Each subject offered had an international orientation which made it extremely relevant. International marketing, international business management, operations management, finance and accounting as well as numerous seminars (many of which focused on particular regions) and a wonderful end of course project involving the internationalization of a real company. Mine analyzed the possibilities of exporting Spanish wine to India and olive oil to the Middle East for a Spanish winery and olive oil producer.
If I was asked to define the MIBA in a few words, I would define it as the Master's Degree which gave me all the academic and technical tools I needed to move with ease and savoir faire in international markets right from the start.
As soon as I had finished my MIBA I sat the Madrid Chamber of Commerce exams and went to Casablanca, where I worked in the Spanish Chamber of Commerce and the Commercial Office. During that year I was able to observe and apply, in situ, absolutely everything I had studied on the course, while helping Spanish companies to take the first steps towards exporting to Morocco. I stayed in Casablanca for another year, managing international projects for clients in our neighbouring country on an independent basis.
In 2012 I was given the opportunity to join Google, the technology giant, and worked at their European headquarters in Dublin for two years. At Google Dublin, among other things, I was developing strategic online advertising tools geared towards the internationalization of Spanish and European SMEs, allowing them to make the most of the solutions offered them by the new technologies. Currently I am working in San Francisco, United States, helping publishers to monetize their online content using Google's solutions.
But Google is a global company and, like any other, as well as growing through the development of new products, grows through the development of new markets (e.g. the Latin American market, which is currently showing high rates of growth) as do the majority of SMEs.
Thanks to the knowledge I acquired on the MIBA, I have a "chip" in my head which allows me to spot these opportunities and pursue them.
I would encourage everyone to think about their motivations in life, about what interests them and where they see themselves working in a few years' time, as I believe this is the best way to find one's way forwards. If internationalization and all that it encompasses (making a business grow, prospecting, travelling and exploring, working with different cultures, speaking other languages) is something which motivates you and you are looking for a path which lets you study this and specialize in an area of high growth and increasing importance within organizations, the MIBA is certainly the best option I can recommend from personal experience.

A special reception for RI Natural History Survey members and friends… Urban Wildlife: Learning to Co+Exist explores the lives of wild animals in urban areas and the human responses to this shared territory. Through artistic/scientific collaborations, the exhibit encourages the viewing public to take an active role in healthy co-existence with urban animals.
Friday, July 27 at 5 PM – 8 PM
RISD ISB Gallery 55 Canal Walk
An artistic exploration of urban wildlife is a rare discovery indeed! At the Natural History Survey we believe there are important lessons to be learned everywhere about Nature and human interaction with it, as much in our urban areas as in well preserved natural areas. At the Survey, we also welcome any way of "seeing" the natural world that helps our understanding… and that includes through art as well as through science. Come share the wonder as we explore this exciting project during a special reception for Survey members and friends. The Natural History Survey encourages people to discover wild animals and plants in ALL parts of Rhode Island.
This event is Free & Open to the Public! RSVP the Survey office via email or phone.

What may all mean? Is ever increasing disparity in incomes healthy for society? Is it true that rising tide lifts all boats? Some other words, as we double the pay of this rich, does the catering company add a much greater value to the country's GDP in which we all share? Like trickle-down adherents claim? Or would every one of us be fitting if along with a more level compensation region? It's easy to see that at one extreme it be catastrophic. If all the money went one individual, absolutely no one else received a dime, the economy would collapse, straight away.
When oil prices 're going to rise again, look ahead to CAD/JPY currency pair. CAD is positively correlated and JPY is negatively related. So CAD/JPY gets strongest response to rise in oil price points. It can be a very good currency pair to trade during events of rising oil prices.

New film Interior Motives explores the links between fashion and interiors
Aug 10, 2019 | By Luke Tebbutt
Jun 19, 2012
This Thursday, emerging London-based designer Martine Rose will co-host the upcoming Test Presents film screening at Hackney's Town Hall Hotel, Legacy in the Dust: The Four Aces Story.
Scheduled alongside Menswear Fashion Week this season, Rose will discuss the documentary's influences on her own life and fashion career, after a preview of her Test fashion film for S/S 13.
Winstan Whitter's candid piece documents the rise and fall of this infamous East End club, which opened in 1966 and closed during the mid-nineties – ultimately making way for the Olympics and regeneration of the area. Founded by Jamaican-born Newton Dunbar, the venue played host to artists such as Jimmy Cliff, Desmond Dekker and The Clash, also attracting music icons including Bob Dylan and Chrissie Hynde to the space. The Four Aces later became a rave venue for Acid House during the mid and late 1980s.
"My early fashion influences were very much wrapped up with music and this film really evokes these memories," explains Rose to Test on her film choice.
Limited tickets can be purchased on the Test site, and if you are in London this summer be sure to check out other happenings at the Town Hall Hotel. You can see more from emerging designer Martine Rose on the British Fashion Council's website.

More comfort food with less side effects?
It may help to understand why we turn to familiar food for comforting.
We are usually looking for an easy way to change how we feel.
We want to relax, we want to reduce stress, we want to feel happy instead of sad.
But there can be side effects to our food choices.
Like belly fat increasing our waistlines.
Like overloaded arteries.
Like increased disease risks.
Researchers have found that people who feel sad eat up to 36% more comfort food than those who feel happy.
They tested people eating popcorn while watching either the romantic comedy "Sweet Home Alabama," or the romantic tragedy "Love Story."
The tragedy made people eat more high calorie movie popcorn (Wansink B, Cornell University, 2007).
Try green tea
But how can we all learn to avoid high calorie choices when we want to drown our sorrows or change how we feel?
An excellent choice is green tea.
Green tea is prepared without milk or sugar, so there are less than two calories per cup.
By controlling calories, green tea can help weight management.
By giving us a break, drinking green tea can help reduce stress.
Then there's the surprise bonus.
Many complex chemicals in tea can help the body and brain, including our mental focus.
Tea just makes us feel better.

Excellent production!
If you could sum up IZ~ The Izzy Story in three words, what would they be?
Fabulous for kids!
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
It was very well narrated and produced...but the story jumps around a bit....
What about Roy Kelly's performance did you like?
He was excellent...very talented!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I could have, but found myself not interested about halfway through...so I took a break...but the finish was great!
Any additional comments?
** I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review **
This was an adorable tale of Iz...that would be suitable for any ones children....I recommend it for those days you are running errands in the car and need to entertain your children....Its a magical story that stems through several generations and it was very enjoyable...just not my cup of tea....I do recommend it..and it is well worth your time and a credit!

I really tried to like this book.I found it to be confusing to me and would be to most children I know. Roy Kelly does wonderful narration of all the characters..and there are many.We start in a lab,with a weird animal named Izzy...I think.There is some archeology thrown in.We end up with aliens wanting to occupy Earth.

Fun space opera meets archaeologists
Scientists from the far off planet Authair are in a race against time. A plague is killing their people and the must find a safe haven to complete their research. Earth looks like a winner. Meanwhile, a group of archaeologists and archaeology students are peeking into ruins and find something unexpected.
The action and humor are a lot of fun in this book. We start off in space with aliens, scientists (mad or otherwise), and Izzy himself (who is like some sort of intelligent cat lizard). There's this plague and some bad guys and the good guys must flee and continue playing with their glass beakers at the same time. They spot Earth and discuss, determining that it looks like a good place to hide out.
Then we totally switch character lists. Now we get to play with the Earthlings and the pace slows way down. This second half of the story is definitely more about a mystery and building some suspense. An archaeology student's dog digs something unique up and the professor is consulted. Various shenanigans ensue.
For the most part, this book was fun, combining two of my favorite things – space opera and archaeological mystery. My only criticism is that the book is so cleanly divided in half in location and characters that I felt I was reading 2 separate stories. Plus this book cuts off before the connection between the two is cleanly tied together. So be ready to jump into Book 2!
I received this audiobook from the author (via the Audiobook Blast Newsletter) at no cost in exchange for an honest review.
The Narration: The narration, sound effects, and music for this book are excellent. It made the book extra fun to have so many voice actors and sound effects. The music was a nice touch too, never drowning out the dialogue.

Very Good and Entertaining
Would you listen to IZ~ The Izzy Story again? Why?
I would definitely listen to IZ again. It was quirky, fun, entertaining and well done. This audiobook provided some great entertainment.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I don't know who would be my favorite character. I liked them all. I guess Aristotle. This was an overall fun adventure with character introduction and I would be interested in hearing more in the series.
What about Roy Kelly's performance did you like?
Roy Kelly's performance was amazing. He did a fantastic job with this audiobook. There were other voice actors in the book as well that were credited at the end. I especially liked the woman and wish her name was added to the narration.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I listened to this audiobook in one sitting. It wasn't too long but if it had been longer, I still would've listened to it all at the same time. Great work!
Any additional comments?
I received this audiobook in exchange for an unbiased review.

If you think heating your whole home is a waste of energy – consider zoning.
Imagine this. It is a 14 degree day outside, you are in the lounge room watching your favourite movie, your partner's in the study reading a book, and your kids are in the rumpus playing games. With Brivis StarPro high efficiency ducted gas heater technology, you have two zoning options:
- Brivis ZonePlus
For outstanding individual comfort, control and energy management, the Brivis ZonePlus allows you to have up to four individually controlled zones, each with their own time and temperature settings.
For total flexibility, you can upgrade as many Brivis Temperature Sensors to Brivis Networkers, allowing you to fully control, program and manage each zone – eliminating the need for you to go back to the Master Networker. Adjust temperatures for each zone as it suits you from any Networker in the home. Perfect comfort, absolute control.
Brivis ZonePlus works in unison with any Brivis StarPro Ducted Gas Heater with 4 and 6 star efficiencies.
- Brivis Adaptive Zoning
Allows heating to be used with one Brivis Networker, operating a common zone (i.e. main living area), as well as up to four additional zones, e.g. lounge room, bedrooms, kitchen/ dining etc.
A Brivis Networker can simply turn zones on or off to manage only those areas you are using.

This year the annual Regis Club Toy Drive had a new aspect to it: along with the toys purchased and donated by students, there were also toys built by students.
Hawklets in Mr. Bill Murphy's Drawing & Design for Industry class constructed the wood toy trucks that will also be donated.
"Rockhurst participates in a toy drive around Christmas time because we understand that this can be a very unfortunate time of year for many people. Every year, I would assume most of the students at our school wake up on Christmas morning and expect to see at least one or two presents waiting for them beneath the Christmas tree," said junior Thomas Reintjes, Regis Club president. "However, this is a reality only for the privileged. There is a multitude of children in the Kansas City area that live under the poverty line and are unable to afford luxuries such as toys for Christmas."
This is where the Regis Club comes in. Realizing that some kids will not have as joyous of Christmas' as some of Rockhurst students might, club members collect toys before finals every year and donate them to Operation Breakthrough.
"This is the first year that the Rockhurst wood shop class has built toys for the toy drive. It is humbling and admirable to see some of the students at Rockhurst spend part of their school time and energy to construct toy trucks for the children at Operation Breakthrough. Hopefully this idea can continue on as a tradition of the toy drive in years to come," said Reintjes.
The Regis Club seeks to provide students an opportunity to perform community service, as well as fostering relationships between members of the Rockhurst community and between Rockhurst and the broader Kansas City community. Activities in recent years have included monthly trips to the Shalom Catholic Worker House, annual Toy Drive and Bowling Tournament, and projects at the CCVI center, the Recycling Center, and the Hope Center.

Long before the Tesla Model S, Nissan LEAF or even GM EV1, automakers worried by the various oil crises of late 1960s and 1970s begun working on electric vehicles. Most were small, with unusual, futuristic designs and limited range, powered by banks of heavy lead acid batteries.
Ford and GM both produced their own versions of electric vehicles, as did BMW and Volkswagen. But alongside these automotive giants were small, independent firms like Vanguard-Sebring, Zagato and Enfield Automotive. Firms which hoped to one day change the world with their revolutionary plug-in vehicles. When automakers turned their attentions back to gasoline vehicles, these firms continued on their quest, producing limited numbers of early electric cars that you could actually buy.
These days, most of those early electric cars have been long forgotten, showing up from time to time on auction sites like ebay in various states of disrepair. But thanks to one TV presenter and automotive journalist from the UK, one such car from 1975 — an Enfield E8000 ECC — has been given a new lease of life as a tire-smoking hot rod.
Last weekend at the Santa Pod raceway in Northamptonshire, resplendent in a brand-new bright-yellow paint job reminiscent of the 1970s, it took to the drag strip for the first time, recording a quarter mile time that matches that of Tesla's iconic 2010 Roadster Sport.
[youtube id="_o6igJGsBoM"]
All in a car whose wheelbase is just 68 inches.
Enter Jonny Smith and the "Flux Capacitor," one of only 120 Enfield E8000 ECC electric cars ever built and what must be the only classic electric car that's been given the electric equivalent of replacing a Model T Ford's original 20 horsepower inline 4 with a roaring small block V8.
Before we get into the Flux Capacitor's transformation however, we feel a history lesson is in order.
A trip down memory lane
Built by British-based Enfield automotive — a small automaker owned by greek millionaire Giannis Goulandris — the two-seat Enfield E8000 ECC (Electric City Car) was Enfield Automotive's first production car. Built on a tubular steel chassis with aluminum body panels and a massive one-piece, heated, wraparound windshield, the Enfield was based upon a prototype car called the Enfield 465, which the company had produced in 1969 as a proof of concept for an electric city car.
Made by hand on the Isle of Wight — a small island just 4 miles off the south coast of England in the English Channel — the Enfield Electric not only resembled some of the other small cars of its time, but used many of the same parts, too.
This ensured Enfield kept build costs down, but also ensured spare parts were readily available should they be required.
The wheels and brakes come from the Morris Mini Minor of the time, while the headlights come from a Mk 1 Ford Capri and Austin Allegro. Suspension parts and steering at the front come from a contemporary Hillman Imp, while the rear axle comes straight from a Reliant three-wheeler. Sit a British car geek in an original one for any time, and they'll notice other parts from various British cars from the 1970s.
Driving the rear wheels directly was a small 6 kilowatt electric motor, powered by eight 12-volt deep discharge batteries and wired to a rudimentary controller that added batteries in series or parallel to the circuit to control vehicle speed.
Top speed was limited to around 40 mph in stock form, with range somewhere between 35 and 55 miles depending on the weather, the age of the battery pack, and the road conditions.
And if this author seems a little over-enthusiastic about this strange classic car from the 1970s, it's because I am. Back in 1984 as a precocious five-year old, my two older sisters let me read their copy of The Tree of Knowledge — a weekly mail-order encyclopedia published by Marshall Cavendish — in order to get some peace. And there, staring back at me from the glossy pages of the kid-friendly Google of its time, was a bright red Enfield Electric, complete with cutaway drawing showing the battery pack.
It was, if you like, my root.
In its original form however — as this video from BBC Top Gear in 1998 shows — the Enfield Electric was more eccentric than cool.
The discovery
Despite only 120 examples being made and a handful of unusual 'special-order' vehicles, a surprising number of Enfield E8000s still survive today, with most owned and operated by enthusiasts as fun weekend cars or runabout vehicles.
Which is how this author, and Transport Evolved regular Kate Walton-Elliott first met HPN 912N in the corner of a workshop in the middle of Wales in late June, 2007.
Despite having spent its early days as a bright white press car for Enfield Automotive, appearing in various publicity shoots and even putting in an appearance on BBC Tomorrow's World television program in the 1970s, the tiny Enfield had found its way to Wales via various owners and custodians. By the time it arrived in Wales, it was in a sorry state.
The previous owner had put a fake grill on it from a Rover Metro, it had been partially restored, and someone had painted it a shade of blue by hand.
Despite this, it still worked, albeit with the kind of problems you'd expect of a 35-year old car.
And so, a price was agreed upon, and the tiny electric car went on the back of a trailer to its new home in Berkshire, where it was destined to be transport to and from the local village for Kate's mother.
Shortly after arriving and gaining its first MOT in years, the river next to where the car was parked flooded terribly, filling the car with dirty water, destroying its electronics, and killing any chance of living again.
With the insurance company unwilling to repair it outright, its fate looked sealed. Knowing it was a rare car, Kate purchased the car back at scrap value and held on to it, hoping that she would one day be able to restore it.
Which is where Jonny Smith — aka Carpervert— comes in. A fan of everything from the 70s, Jonny had been on the lookout for something unique to add to his collection for a while. And having spent some time with electric cars in his day job as one of the Presenters for Fifth Gear, he knew he wanted an Enfield.
His dream? To do what no-one else had done before. Turn a classic electric car into a hot rod. Luckily for Jonny, we happened to know where just a car was, and so the introductions were made and the sale agreed.
Reborn as the Flux Capacitor
And so it began. Inspired by the drag-racing legends of the White Zombie in Portland, Oregon and BlackCurrent III in the UK, Jonny set out to build the fastest electric drag racer he could. With the right team behind him, Jonny aspired to building a hot-rod that was powerful enough to beat a Tesla.
With the engineering skills of Webster Race Engineering carrying out all of the necessary bodily and mechanical modifications and drivetrain help from Current Racing, Jonny knew he could make the Enfield — christened the Flux Capacitor — as fast as California's finest. Add in a custom-built battery pack made up of 144 Kokam lithium-ion cells and assembled by British firm Hyperdrive, and Jonny knew he had the British 'A-Team' of EV drag racing.
"Immense effort was taken to build batteries capable of delivering 370 volts, 600kW, 2000+ amps, 1003hp, 1200lbft+ that weigh less than 150kg. I still can't compute the stats when I stare at this strange unassuming electrical package," Jonny Jokes, noting that in their usual military-grade application the cells "run the starters and mini-guns in a Bell AH1 SuperCobra attack helicopter!"
With twin 9″ Current Racing motors — modified Netgain Warp 9″ series wound direct current motors — replacing the stock Enfield motor the Flux Capacitor has plenty of power. But to transfer that torque to the rear wheels, the team had to build a special 6″ propshaft to connect it to a heavily-modified Ford 9″ rear axle, complete with massive 14×7 Wolfrace slot mag alloy wheels off a 1970s Trans-Am.
"As the Enfield's name suggests (8000 ECC – Electric City Car) it was never designed to go more than 45-50mph. It is 1.725 metres in wheelbase, making it particularly risky as a high speed race car," said Jonny in an email to us earlier today. "For drag racing you want massive torque, grip and stability at high speed. Brakes at the end bit also help. The latter were custom built lightweight AP Racing calipers and carriers adapted from a Caterham."
But while Jonny originally intended to race the Flux Capacitor more than a year ago, building such a powerful drag racer in such a short frame — something which necessitated the team design removable wheelie bars for the dragster — the project took longer than anyone anticipated.
"It's taken at least a year longer than originally intended to get this far with the Flux Cap project, but I need to say a massive thanks to Adrian Flux Insurance, npower energy supplier, Red Maple IT consultants and Hyperdrive Innovations for believing in this project and helping me get this far," he said. "I don't have time to MoT it before this weekend [a UK road-worthiness test that all cars over 3-years of age made after 1960 must pass before being used on the road] but all she needs is a screen wash bag, a rear numberplate light and the horn bolting up."
"Everything else is [road legal]," he continued. "The tyres I race on are road legal drag-friendly radials. Not slicks."
Even the windshield — which got cracked in the process of building the street-legal racer — has a road-legal, super-lightweight polycarbonate replacement thanks to Bolton-based Plastic4Performance.
Once he has the car sent for its MoT, Jonny says he hopes to be able to drive it for local errands, just like many of the other road-legal drag cars out there. Too short to be officially recognised as a drag-racer under NDRA or NEDRA laws, the Enfield fits perfectly into the modified street legal class.
Loose on the strip
"Originally, the Enfield was 6 horsepower, 48 Volts and 80 amps," Jonny explains. "Now it's over 120 times more powerful, with 600 kilowatts, 370 volts, 1003 horsepower and 2,000 amps available."
In addition to the power upgrade, Jonny's Flux Capacitor team has even managed to lighten the car. When it first rolled off the production line nearly 40 years ago, the Enfield weighed 2,150 pounds . Today, it tips the scales at 1945 pounds.
The first run for the Flux Capacitor was carried out at half of the theoretical maximum the car's on-board electronics could supply, both to let Jonny get the feel for the car but also check everything was safe. The first run took 16 seconds over the quarter mile, followed a little while later by a 13 second quarter mile at 93 mph, with the controller set to max out at 1,300 amps.
"I Have to say it felt shockingly good. The twin 9″ Current Racing motors were strong, the coupling and 6″ propshaft held, as did the Hyperdrive battery pack, with its twinkling LED lit BMSs," Jonny recounts.
For the majority of the weekend-long meet, the team continued to run 13-second quarter miles, testing and proving the car had what it took to fly up the drag strip without a hitch.
"When it felt right, [we] upped the amps to 1,400 and hit a best of 12.56 seconds at 101.43 mph," he said. "We hit the 60 foot line in 1.88 seconds and the 1/8 mile marker in 7.9. The car was over 100 mph every time [after that]."
For an extra-special treat, Jonny even raced his mentors from Black Current Racing in their heavily-modified Volkswagen Beetle. While they beat the Flux Capacitor with some significant margin and a sub-10 second quarter mile, Jonny says it was the first time in Europe that a pair of custom-modified EV dragsters had squared off against one another.
Returning the future
For the rest of the weekend, Jonny reports that the Flux Capacitor stayed pegged at a 1,400 amp limit, meaning that the runs recorded were at about 70 percent of the car's potential power.
That leaves plenty of room for improvement and we hope, a time that not only heads into the 11-second territory but could also maybe even beat the Tesla Model S P85D.
"Mid 12s makes it faster than any road-going production EV bar Tesla's P85D — which is my next benchmark to beat," Jonny said. "That means running 11s."
"Racing it for the first time in 2015 is apt, given that Back To The Future's 30th birthday is around the corner, and my Enfield was born in 1975 – 40 years ago," he said.
We hope that he and his team has a successful race season and proves that one person's vision of the future from 1975 really can come back to the future — and beat some of the competition too.

In My Spare Time
I promised sketches – and I have a plethora from the past week or so
practice, practice, practice
whether I like them or not, that's what this is about, practice.
I tried to branch out with some new faces =]
This started as a face, but I was getting rather heated about his eyes so I set about to practice those.
(sorry Chuck – I'll come back to you and finish you one day)
It's funny how a picture of a sketch shows you all the major flaws you missed before.
(I will not panic over those terrible eyes….)
I actually am quite proud of Sammy.
Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving and weren't TOO trampled by the holiday shopping.
Barista out!

When it comes to things like diversity, sports, and entertainment, the United States outshines other countries. However, our country falls short in an important area: training for professional drivers.
While the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration enacted a provision establishing comprehensive national minimum training standards for entry-level commercial truck and bus operators seeking to obtain a commercial driver's license (CDL) or certain endorsements, the U.S. is still lagging behind other countries when it comes to guidelines about preparation for professional drivers.
With a compliance date of February 2020, the entry-level driver training final rule addresses the knowledge and skills necessary for the safe operation of commercial motor vehicles. The final rule also sets forth minimum qualifications for entities and individuals who provide entry-level driver training, according to the FMCSA website.
However, other countries go above and beyond this type of regulation to ensure drivers are properly trained to operate their vehicles safely and efficiently.
Continuing education
Healthcare, education, business… these sectors require continuing education to keep workers up to date on the latest knowledge and skills needed for that particular trade.
However, this is not the case when it comes to U.S. trucking. Commercial drivers are not required to complete any kind of regulated continuing education after earning their CDL.
In Europe, most countries require drivers to take 35 hours of periodic training every 5 years to maintain and update their skills.
Directive 2003/59/EC established the principle of lifelong learning as part of a professional driver's work by requiring an amount of periodic training at regular intervals to maintain professional skills.
Regulation of training centers
Regulations in some other countries require anyone who wants to train or assess commercial vehicle drivers to "complete a minimum of 145 hours of training covering foundational knowledge of how adults learn, methods for setting up classrooms and hands-on practice labs and interpersonal communication, including coaching skills," according to a recent Transport Topics article.
However, the U.S. is making strides toward better driver training and preparation with its entry-level driver training final rule which establishes minimum qualifications for entities and individuals who provide entry-level driver training.
In order to become an approved entity, public and private CDL training programs, and fleet operated CDL training programs (among others) must register with FMCSA and self-certify that they have fulfilled the requirements for providing CDL training, according to FMCSA's ELDT Final Rule Presentation.
Although the U.S. is behind some other countries in regard to training for professional drivers, our country is making steps in the right direction. Only time will tell whether or not this increased regulation will positively impact driver retention and help solve the shortage of qualified drivers.
As for fuel prices, the United States On-Highway Diesel Fuel Price was $2.98 as of March 12, 2018. This national average is .016 lower than one week ago.

In a shock move, Lord Ara Darzi has resigned from his post as parliamentary under-secretary in the Department of Health to devote all of his attention on the clinical and research factions of healthcare.
A leading surgeon and 'frontline' doctor, Darzi was charged two years ago with driving a fundamental review of the future direction of the NHS – coined the NHS Next Stage Review - and subsequently published the groundbreaking report High Quality Care for All, which detailed several new initiatives to help boost the quality of service provision.
Commenting on some of the achievements made during his time in office, Darzi the NHS is now "the first health system in the world to systematically measure, record and openly publish information on its quality of care", and he also highlighted the "tremendous change in the level of ambition for what is possible".
In his resignation letter to Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Darzi explained that he had overseen the implementation of his report's conclusions over the past year and that: "The time has now come for me to return to care for my patients, lead my academic department, and continue my research on a full time basis".
In a responding letter, the PM thanked Darzi for his "outstanding contribution" to government, particularly as his leadership "has made possible far greater clinical involvement in decision-making at every level," and applauded him for creating "a movement for change and improvement across the health service".
Health Secretary Andy Burnham also paid tribute to the "immense" contribution Darzi made during his time as health minister. "The Next Stage Review has set a defining vision for the NHS for years to come, embedding quality at the heart of everything it does, and engaging thousands of staff and patients along the way", he said, commenting on Darzi's work.
Praise also came from Royal College of Nursing Chief Executive Dr Peter Carter, who said Darzi has been "instrumental in shifting the focus of health reforms to where they should be, which is on providing quality care" and that he "leaves a lasting legacy on the health service".
Advisory role
But Darzi has not withdrawn from the government altogether, having agreed to take a on role as Health and Life Sciences Ambassador and, in this capacity, chair of a new NHS Global Forum, which aims to promote the NHS and life sciences industry in the UK in the global arena.
The forum will be established in the next few weeks and will be made up of representatives from government, the NHS and representatives from across the life-science industries, Number 10 has confirmed.
In addition, Lord Darzi will also advise the government on health reforms, relating to both the NHS and global public health, the DH said.
In a shock move, Lord Ara Darzi has resigned from his post as parliamentary under-secretary in the Department of Health to devote all of his attention on the clinical and research factions of healthcare.

Interventions in weakly institutionalized societies have been central to U.S. foreign policy. These have been amongst the most costly expenditures in the U.S. federal budget and may have important national security consequences. The United States has employed a variety of strategies aimed at defeating insurgents and building states capable of monopolizing violence, ranging from the top-down deployment of overwhelming firepower to bottom-up initiatives to win hearts and minds. Our research identifies the causal effects of key interventions employed during the Vietnam War by exploiting two distinct discontinuities in U.S. policy: one varies the intensity of a top-down approach—air strikes—and the other compares a top-down military force approach to a more bottom-up hearts and minds approach.
The U.S. intervened in Vietnam to prevent the spread of communism, and fostering a state that could provide a bulwark against communism after U.S. withdrawal was central to U.S. objectives. A state monopoly of violence is an equilibrium outcome that relies upon both the capabilities of the state apparatus and citizen compliance. Top-down approaches to foreign intervention emphasize gaining citizen compliance by making it costly for citizens to oppose the state, whereas bottom-up approaches aim to increase the benefits of supporting the state by providing public goods, economic aid, and political opportunities.
The military force approach is summed up by the Vietnam-era adage: "get the people by the balls and their hearts and minds will follow." Air strikes were a key component, with the Air Force receiving more than half of wartime appropriations and dropping twice as many tons of explosives as was dropped during World War II. Leaflets warned citizens of "death from the sky" if they did not cooperate with the South Vietnamese government. One scholar wrote that air strikes could be used to establish social control and then modernization would organically follow; another argued that countering communism required "a ruthless projection to the peasantry that the central government intends to be the wave of the future." According to one general "The solution in Vietnam is more bombs, more shells, more napalm."

Lawn & Landscape
November 2017
By Marty Grunder
If you're like me, you're glad to see November roll around every year. For those of us not in the south, the landscaping season is at last winding down and we finally get to catch our breath. In Ohio, where I live, the weather is usually mild enough to still enjoy some time outdoors. And then there's Thanksgiving, hands-down the best day of eating all year.
Turkey, mashed potatoes and my mom's unbeatable cherry pie aside, Thanksgiving is primarily about being thankful for what you have. For business owners, it's also a great time to take stock of how you're saying thanks to all the people your company relies on for success.
Appreciate Your Clients
Without clients, you have no business. No matter how good you think your product or service is, your clients always have other options. In every interaction you have with your clients, show them that you appreciate that they've chosen you, and train your staff to do the same.
Remember to actually say thank you, no matter if it's at the end of a phone call, an email or an invoice. It's such a small thing, but I'm continually amazed by how many businesses fail to do this. Run a list off of your clients and their addresses and work methodically through it, day by day and name by name, to send a handwritten thank-you note to each one of them.
Support charities your clients are involved in when the organization's values and mission align with yours. Conduct surveys of your clients' satisfaction at the end of the season – valuing their opinion and input is a way of showing appreciation, too.
For your best clients, consider holding an event just for them. At my landscaping company, we invite our top customers once a year to be our guests at a special performance at the theater downtown and host a nice reception for them beforehand. The night is stress-free (for them, if not for my marketing director) and fun and absolutely, completely solicitation-free. It's an investment for my business that pays back in dividends all year through.
Appreciate Your Team
Just as with your clients, show your team your appreciation in every interaction you have. I'm not saying you have to profusely thank them every day for everything they do, but you should always treat your employees with respect and professionalism. If you're in a bad mood, don't take it out on them. Smile and say hello when you see them. Often small business owners get so distracted by all the balls we're juggling that we forget the effect our demeanor can have on our teams. Remember they have lives outside of work, too. Show them you appreciate them by not pinging them incessantly with emails and texts on their off hours.
At my landscaping company, we hold a cookout once a month on Friday afternoons during the high season. It's a chance for my crews to relax, without a single production goal save to have fun and enjoy each other. Once a year, I invite my whole team to a Cincinnati Reds or Dayton Dragons game and a reception beforehand. We schedule this event for a Friday night and invite spouses too to make it easier for everyone to enjoy a fun night out.
Now, for a full confession: As much as I may think I have this whole gratitude thing figured out, I was made keenly aware of my shortcomings not that long ago when a trusted, longtime employee let me know how little he felt appreciated and why. I thought a lot about what he had to say and realized he was, unfortunately, right. He was so integral to the success of my company, and had quietly and reliably delivered so much for so long, that I took him for granted without realizing it.
I'm now taking steps to remedy that, from rethinking our compensation package to having regular one-on-one meetings with him. And to show him I heard him loud and clear, I gave him two tickets to a concert I knew he'd like and told him to take the day after off with pay. That single, small gesture doesn't make up for the rest, of course, but it's a start. He and I are on a better path now, and I'm grateful to him for giving me the chance to make it right.
I have a lot to be thankful for.

OK. I know my office area may look a bit messy, but you have to consider that I just spent two full days (well, two half-days really) cleaning these bookshelves out, vacuuming all the dust on the tops of the books and shelves, throwing out two huge trash bags full of stuff I no longer needed, and reorganizing it all to come to this point, above, where, to me, it feels very organized and neat.
You do have to take into consideration that it was utterly horrid just a couple of days before this. Really.
I moved all the books that I hope to open and read in the foreseeable future down to shelves near my eye-level so I can glance up at them while I'm working and plan the day when they will actually get read. I have a huge library of Anthony Trolloppe books up there and have only read maybe two or three of them so far.
Please forgive me the wall colour. We painted this room yellow a long time ago in a fit of crazed delusion, thinking it would make for a happier room. I've hated this colour ever since. And the little sunflower border along the knee wall was a particularly nasty bit of design. But to re-paint this room would be such a massive undertaking, considering it's loaded with stuff, that for now the yellow just has to be endured. Sorry.
But on a lighter note, how do you like my mousepad?
Yes, that's my honey – I used a photo of him selling his lobsters at the Farmer's Market to put on a mousepad. I know the cool youngsters of today probably don't even use the old fashioned mouses (mice?), but I'm still back there in prehistoric times and prefer it.
I am ready for Christmas. Even though it's not a holiday I really celebrate in my own mind, I do it for others and I am ready now. Most things are wrapped and tagged. My Christmas tree, that I keep all decorated and stored in a plastic bag in the basement all year, has been up and brightly lit since last weekend. The single candle lights are in the 4 front windows. And I have most of my food all bought for Christmas Eve when the folks are due here for a little supper/pressie/visit get-together. We are going to order pizzas and bring them here. I will be making jumbo shrimps and homemade shrimp cocktail sauce as well and a big salad of some sort. I may do cupcakes too, haven't quite decided yet. Maybe pumpkin cupcakes.
We are having rather nasty weather here (rain/wind) but it isn't nearly as nasty as out in the mid section of the country where I hear they are buried in snow. Not good. England has been buried in snow, as well, and it just seems so odd that we haven't had nary a flake of that stuff this season yet. I hope I haven't jinxed it now by saying that.
Well, that's all for now from Crow Cottage. Time to go down and see about dinner for dogs and then dinner for us soon.
Before I go, I wanted to ask for your prayers for Richard Holbrooke, our roving ambassador, who is in critical condition after suffering a tear of his aorta over the weekend. He's had surgery and it's touch-and-go now. I've always loved that man and I sincerely hope he pulls thru this.
Cheers and prayers,
