We may disclose your personal information to third parties in connection with the purposes described in Section 3 above.
Where we disclose your personal information to third parties we will use reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that such third parties only use your personal information as reasonably required for the purpose we disclosed it to them and in a manner consistent with the Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act, e.g. by (where commercially practical) including suitable privacy and confidentiality clauses in our agreements with a third party service provider to which we disclose your personal information.
FNG uses commercially reasonable administrative, technical, personnel and physical measures to safeguard information in its possession against loss, theft and unauthorized use, disclosure or modification. However, no one can guarantee the complete safety of your information. Except to the extent liability cannot be excluded due to the operation of statute, we exclude all liability (including in negligence) for the consequences of any unauthorised access to, disclosure of, misuse of or loss or corruption of your personal information. Nothing in this Privacy Policy restricts, excludes or modifies or purports to restrict, exclude or modify any statutory consumer rights under any applicable law. Please notify us immediately if you become aware of any breach of security.
If you would like to access, review, correct, update, suppress, or otherwise limit our use of your personal information, you may contact us as outlined in Section 7. In your request, please include your email address, name, address, and telephone number and specify clearly what information you would like to access, change, update, or suppress. We will try to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable.
You may request that we not share your personal information on a going-forward basis with Company Affiliates or unaffiliated third parties for any purposes by sending an email to us at firstname.lastname@example.com, with "FNG Australia: Disclosure Opt-out" in the subject line. Please include your full name, email address, postal address and the relevant FNG Service in the body of the email. We will try to comply with your request(s) as soon as reasonably practicable.
Updates to Privacy Policy. FNG may modify this Privacy Policy. Please look at the Effective Date at the top of this Privacy Policy to see when this Privacy Policy was last revised. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Policy on the FNGServices.
Overseas Disclosure and Location of Data. The FNG Services are hosted in Australia. Your personal information may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers, and by using the FNG Services you consent to the transfer of information to countries outside of your country of residence, including the United States of America and Hong Kong, which may have different data protection rules than those of your country. This includes the use of cookies and other tracking technologies as described above. As a result, please read this Privacy Policy with care.
Except in some cases where we may rely on an exception under the Privacy Act, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that such overseas recipients do not breach the Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act in relation to such information.
Linked Services. The FNG Services may also be linked to sites operated by unaffiliated companies, and may carry advertisements or offer content, functionality, games, newsletters, contests or sweepstakes, or applications developed and maintained by unaffiliated companies. FNG is not responsible for the privacy practices of unaffiliated companies, and once you leave the FNG Services or click an advertisement you should check the applicable privacy policy of the other service.
Collection of Personal Financial Information by a Payment Service. In some cases, we may use an unaffiliated payment service to allow you to purchase a product or make payments ("Payment Service"). If you wish to purchase a product or make a payment using a Payment Service, you will be directed to a Payment Service webpage. Any information that you provide to a Payment Service will be subject to the applicable Payment Service's privacy policy, rather than this Privacy Policy. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, any Payment Service's use of information collected through any Payment Service.
Data Retention. We will retain your information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or allowed by law.
Remember that even after you cancel your account, copies of some information from your account may remain viewable in some circumstances where, for example, you have shared information with social media or other services. Because of the nature of caching technology, your account may not be instantly inaccessible to others. We may also retain backup information related to your account on our servers for some time after cancelation for fraud detection or to comply with applicable law or our internal security policies. It is not always possible to completely remove or delete all of your information due to technical constraints, contractual, financial or legal requirements.
Sensitive Information. We ask that you not send us, and you not disclose, any sensitive personal information (such as social security numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, criminal background or trade union membership) on or through the FNG Services or otherwise.
If you have questions, comments or complaints about our collection, use or disclosure of personal information, or if you believe that we have not complied with this Privacy Policy or the Privacy Act, please contact us at:
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Mail/Phone: C/O Privacy Officer, Level 4, 99 Elizabeth Street, Sydney, New South Wales 2000 or at (02) 8668 2911 (during normal business hours).

We request that you cooperate with us during this process and provide us with any relevant information that we may need.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G3 browser pumps uploads to the web
Have Wi-Fi, will upload
CES Sony has launched the Cyber-shot DSC-G3, a compact camera with integrated Wi-Fi connectivity.
Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-G3 supports Wi-Fi image uploads
Wireless-enabled cameras already exist - think Nikon's S52c - but the DSC-G3 features a full web browser. So you can connect to any wireless hotspot you want, rather than have to use the manufacturer's chosen partners.
Sony imposes restrictions when you are actually connected. You can only upload pictures to approved sites. Sony says there are plenty to choose from, including Picasa and Photobucket.
However, the camera lacks a couple of features that we, suspect, will turn up in later versions. First, Wi-Fi connectivity is for uploads only - you can't check your emails or surf the web from the camera's 3.5in LCD.
Average thickness
Second, video uploads are not possible. So Eye-Fi's upcoming Wi-Fi video SD cards will hold the advantage in this respect over Sony. Of course, Sony's technology is incorporated into the camera, whereas you have to buy Eye-Fi's SD card.
The DSC-G3 has a pretty good spec. It's a 10.1-megapixel camera with 4x optical zoom. A meaty 4GB is included and there's a slot for Memory Stick Duo and Pro Duo cards.
A 3in LCD and face detection feature
On-board face detection can distinguish kids apart from adults. But is it as good as Samsung's ST10 camera, also announced at CES, which supposedly can recognise Adam from Sally?
Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-G3 is available later this month for $500 (£327/€364). ®

Search for courses based on delivery type, program area, or topic below, or find upcoming trainings in your state or territory.
For more information on trainings from the National Highway Institute, contact us.
TRAINING LEVEL: Intermediate
CLASS SIZE: Minimum: 20 Maximum: 25
This course is designed as a hands-on, application-oriented training course using the Watershed Modeling System (WMS) to make hydrologic estimates using a variety of techniques. It will provide attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to use data derived from geographical information systems (GIS) to develop hydrologic estimates and model runoff from watersheds. The course also teaches how to use digital terrain data for the development of watershed parameters that are required by most commonly used hydrologic analysis programs.
The WMS is a comprehensive environment for hydrologic analysis. It is developed by the Environmental Modeling Research Laboratory (EMRL) of Brigham Young University, and has been licensed for use by all State and Federal highway agencies. WMS makes it possible to take advantage of the wealth of digital terrain, land use, soil, and other GIS data readily available from government and private agencies. This data can then be used for preparing input files for several commonly used hydrologic models. Models supported by the interface include HEC-1 (HMS), TR-20, TR-55, and the Rational Method. This course also includes instruction in use of the regional regression equations contained in the National Flood Frequency (NFF) database. This course teaches the techniques and methods necessary to locate and use GIS data so that labor intensive processes such as delineating watershed boundaries and calculating modeling parameters from paper maps can be avoided when computing design flows and developing flow hydrographs at bridges and culverts.
Participants will receive a notebook that includes course materials, a WMS User's Manual, and copies of the software, workshops, and tutorials used in the course. Non-State highway agency course participants will receive a demonstration version of the proprietary WMS computer program.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
Federal, State, and local hydrologic/hydraulic engineers who have responsibility for the design and analysis of highway stream crossings. In order to derive the most benefit from this training, course participants should have knowledge of the fundamentals of hydrology and hydrologic modeling. Experience with one of the aforementioned hydrologic modeling computer programs would be helpful.
If you have questions about this NHI training, please contact NHI at email@example.com or 877.558.6873.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Crazed sci-fi classic rockets onto the big screen
It seems like it's been a long time coming. Douglas Adams' cult novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was first published way back in 1979. Since then, its "cult" has garnered some 20 million members. The story's roots go back even further, having started life as a BBC radio play. While it hardly counts in terms of light years, 2005 is still a fair distance to cover between publication and the (nowadays) inevitable silver screen adaptation.

Twilight Samurai (2002)
Man, I sure do love me some samurai films. From widely accepted classics such as Yojimbo and Throne of Blood to the gore-soaked insanity of the Lone Wolf and Cub series, the samurai genre definitely holds a special place in my heart. So when I heard about a little film called The Twilight Samurai winning Best Picture and Best Director at the Japanese Academy Awards, and saw reviews by everyone and their cousin calling it the second coming of classic samurai, I had to see what the big deal was all about for myself. So let me get started by saying this much: The Twilight Samurai is one of the best movies ever made. Ever. Seriously.

Spain debates controversial payments
La Liga president Javier Tebas and Spanish players' union (AFE) chief Luis Rubiales have clashed over whether third-party "incentive payments" to teams should be allowed.
• Simeone sees positives in loss
The payments, referred to as "maletines" ("briefcases") in Spain, are typically used when a team involved in the title race or relegation struggle offers a bonus to a mid-table side to motivate them to beat one of their rivals at the top or bottom of the standings.
The issue arose again this week after an apparent joke made by Levante youngster Ruben Garcia ahead of his side's surprise 2-0 win over league leaders Atletico Madrid on Sunday as he said: "Why not take a little present for winning the game?"
However, while the bonuses have been a regular topic in La Liga in seasons past, Liga de Futbol Profesional (LFP) president Tebas insisted it was a serious breach of the rules, tweeting before the match: "Levante player Ruben must know that taking money to win a game is forbidden and seriously punished."
Ruben jugador del Levante debes saber que Cobrar por ganar esta prohibido y sancionado de forma grave.#juegolimpio
- Javier Tebas Medrano (@Tebasjavier) May 2, 2014
AFE head Rubiales, though, told Canal Plus after Levante's victory that his association was in favour of making such bonuses legal as they could then be regulated and transparent.
"Ruben is a sensational kid who I know well," Rubiales, a former Levante, Xerez and Hamilton Academicals defender, said. "He has said himself his choice of words was perhaps wrong, but what he wanted to say was he always goes out to win and if, on top of that, someone wants to give a gift...
"If there is no negative attitude on the pitch, of laziness or indifference, or of match-fixing, what is the problem? We would regulate it, avoid defrauding the taxman and make it transparent. We must sit down and discuss it. We are in a democracy, we think in one way, and this does not need to be a problem.
"There is a debate every year when teams are fighting for the title, against relegation, or a thousand different things. You should make things as clear as possible."
Asked if he himself had ever received a bonus for winning a game from a third party, Rubiales said: "As a player I always went out to win, but then of course it did not bother me if someone wanted to give a little present -- not a problem.
"I believe you must be intelligent in this. What we need to do is regulate it. The most important thing for a professional is to be a professional, to always go out onto the pitch to give their maximum. You can win or lose but go back into the dressing room knowing you have given everything. I believe it is good now that we are talking about this, and not match-fixing. That is the feeling I have."
Tebas, a sports law expert who has regularly spoken publicly about how difficult it is to fight match-fixing in Spain and recently published a novel dramatising the issue, said Rubiales did not seem to comprehend the importance of the matter in question.
He tweeted: "Unfortunate remarks by Rubiales, AFE president, for the timing and because he does not understand the depth of this problem."
Desafortunadas declaraciónes de Rubiales, presidente de la @afe, por el momento y porque no entiende el fondo de este problema #juegolimpio

A month ago, I noted that the establishment press has ignored an especially pernicious program undertaken by Eric Holder's Department of Justice and the Obama administration's regulatory apparatus, namely Operation Choke Point.
On Thursday, a strong 321-87 bipartisan majority of the House passed H.R. 4660, the "Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act (of) 2015." Among its provisions: "Sec. 554. None of the funds made available in this Act may be used to carry out Operation Choke Point." The final bill's supporters included 204 Republicans and 117 Democrats. The establishment press has ignored the vote. Excerpts from Kelly Riddell's Friday coverage at the Washington Times follows the jump (bolds are mine throughout this post):
House votes to defund Justice Dept. program that targeted legitimate gun dealers
The House of Representatives passed an amendment Thursday to stop all federal funding to be used for the Department of Justice's Operation Choke Point, an anti-fraud operation that was found to be cutting off legitimate businesses from their banking lines.
"This is a major victory for consumers, law-abiding businesses, and anyone who believes in due process and restraint of government encroachment," said the Community Financial Services Association of America, a trade group opposed to the operation, in a statement Friday. "Additionally, our banking system benefits as it will not be put in the position to police customers or make judgments about the political popularity of businesses and industries."
The amendment was brought to the floor by Rep. Blane Luetkemeyer, a Republican from Missouri, who is a member of the House Financial Services Committee and is vice chairman of the House Small Business Committee. The amendment was sponsored by three democrats and two more republicans.
... A House panel Thursday said the Obama Administration has been using Operation Choke Point to target and "choke out" businesses it finds objectionable, from gun dealers and payday lenders to drug paraphernalia sellers and porn merchants.
The Times has a list of targeted businesses similar to the one I obtained elsewhere at my May 2 post:
The lede at the Times refers to gun dealers because in the past week, suspicions that they are the primary, well, targets of DOJ and bank regulators has mounted. Emily Miller at Fox News had more on that Monday (link is in original):
DOJ accused of targeting gun industry with 'Choke Point' program
The Obama administration, after failing to get gun control passed on Capitol Hill, has resorted to using its executive power to try to put some in the firearms industry out of business, House Republican investigators say.
The assertion is included in a report recently released by California GOP Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Citing internal Justice Department documents, the committee concluded that the administration used a program known as Operation Choke Point to target legal companies that it finds "objectionable."
The program was started in 2013 to protect consumers by "choking" alleged fraudsters' access to the banking system. The Justice Department essentially forces banks and third-party payment processors to stop accepting payments from companies that are considered "high risk" and are supposedly violating federal law.
However, the documents released by Issa's committee show the federal government lumped the firearms industry in with other "high-risk" businesses including those dealing with pornography, drug paraphernalia, escort services, racist materials, Ponzi schemes and online gambling.
The committee also reported that Attorney General Eric Holder was informed the program has been shutting down legal businesses.
... "There is an orchestrated effort by [the Justice Department] and [the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation] to do away with entire industries instead of going after the bad actors. This is wrong," said (Missouri Congressman Blaine) Luetkemeyer, a former bank regulator, who currently serves on the House Financial Services Committee.
... Justice Department spokesman Emily Pierce said Friday that all the assertions by the House committee are "false." She said in an email that the documents Issa released actually "make clear that we are targeting fraudulent and illegal behavior."
Sorry, Emily Pierce. There are too many stories of long-standing legitimate businesses being fired by their bankers simply because they're in a high-risk industry for your statement to stand up. Oh, you can say that you're not specifically targeting them. Meanwhile, DOJ and financial regulators are telling financial services firms that they'll be subject to more intrusive scrutiny if they continue to have customers who are merely in "risky" industries, even if there is no specific evidence of illegality. So many of them are taking the path of least resistance to avoid having auditors and regulators take up permanent residence in their offices.
A search done shortly after midnight Eastern Time on ["choke point" vote] at Google News (typed exactly as indicated between brackets; sorted by date) returned only nine results dated after the House vote; none are from establishment press outlets.
Though two establishment press organs, the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal, have at least covered Operation Choke Point, it's not clear how much of their coverage, which has primarily been at their related subject matter blogs, has made it into print. From what I can tell, the two papers have not noted the House's Thursday vote.
To the potential press non-coverage excuse that a House vote is meaningless without assurances that Harry Reid's Senate will take up the measure: That certainly didn't stop the press from covering any number of House anti-Iraq War funding votes in 2007 and 2008 when they were destined to be ignored by a Senate which still had the 60-vote cloture rules in place, and when Democrats, for all their bellowing, didn't want to be seen as abandoning troops still on the battlefield.
So DOJ and regulators are engaged in an operation whose mission is to directly and indirectly harass and intimidate the financial industry into abandoning certain types of customers with whom they had entered business relationships in what was formerlya mostly free market. There's a word for this, which means "arbitrary or unrestrained exercise of power; despotic abuse of authority." It's news. It's not arguable. Not covering it is negligent, and arguably encourages its continuation. Or is that what the gatekeepers in the establishment press really want?
If a Republican or conservative presidential administration even thought about doing this ... oh, you know the rest.

When your spring cleaning ends with a donation to Goodwill, you not only extend the lifecycle of goods but you help fund Goodwill's employment programs that create jobs and strengthen families and your community,
Rockville, MD (PRWEB) March 19, 2014
More than 70 percent of Americans engage in the annual tradition of spring cleaning, according to a 2013 survey by the American Cleaning Institute. But one of the most common dilemmas for spring cleaners is what to do with all their unneeded stuff. As the green movement grows, consumers are increasingly concerned about reusing and recycling.
Goodwill Industries International is calling on communities to donate items that they used to love during this spring cleaning season. Local Goodwill® agencies collect used clothes and household goods and then use the revenues from sales to fund job training programs and community-based services. These services help job seekers with skills and search tools like résumé writing and job interview practice. By donating household goods, spring cleaners can help their neighbors who are unemployed or underemployed get off to a fresh start.
"When your spring cleaning ends with a donation to Goodwill, you not only extend the lifecycle of goods but you help fund Goodwill's employment programs that create jobs and strengthen families and your community," said Jim Gibbons, Goodwill Industries International president and CEO. "Thanks to the programs made possible by donations, more than 216,000 people earned jobs last year. That means one person earned a job every 33 seconds of every business day."
This season, Goodwill compiled a Seven Days of Spring Cleaning Guide, which provides suggestions on specific items that can be donated this year. Using Goodwill's guide, consumers are encouraged to clean just one part of their house each day and find things to donate for seven consecutive days during this spring season which begins on March 20. Examples include:
Day 1: In honor of St. Patrick's Day, before you put on that green sweater, go through your closet and remove any clothing you no longer wear. Donate it to Goodwill. Here's a good rule: if you haven't worn it in the last 365 days, you probably don't need it!
Day 2: As you're cooking dinner, take 15 minutes to go through your kitchen cabinets and find things you don't use. Goodwill accepts used kitchenware items and household goods.
At the end of the week, consumers are encouraged to visit goodwill.org to calculate just how much of an impact their donations will have for people in their local communities.
"Spring cleaning is often one of the most daunting tasks of the year," Evette Rios, Goodwill spokesperson and host of CBS' "Recipe Rehab" said. "At Goodwill, our goal is to not only make spring cleaning a fun activity for the whole family, but also to help people realize the positive impact their Goodwill donations have on their neighbors' lives."

Masters set for dramatic finale
Joost Luiten finished his final round of the 78th Masters as the leaders set off, but the Ryder Cup hopeful's superb 67 suggested an exciting finale was in store at Augusta National.
Luiten birdied four of the last five holes to finish four over par on his tournament debut, taking advantage of some more generous pin positions than in Saturday's third round.
"It feels really good to shoot 67 on Sunday at the Masters," said Luiten, who made the halfway cut on the mark of four over before a third round of 77. "I look at my tournament and I'm very happy. Yesterday was a little bit of an off day, and in the future you need four good days to compete here.
"It felt like they watered the greens a little bit overnight. They were a little bit slower and a little bit more forgiving than yesterday when they were very slick and quick.
"So it felt like they set it up a little bit easier, but there were still a lot of tough pin positions and you just have to play smart to some of them and take your par and then go on to the next."
Former champion Bubba Watson and fellow American Jordan Spieth shared the lead on five under par heading into the final round, the 20-year-old Spieth looking to become the youngest ever Masters champion and first to win on debut since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979.
At the other end of the spectrum, 50-year-old Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez was aiming to become the oldest winner of any major and the first European to claim a green jacket since his compatriot Jose Maria Olazabal in 1999.
Jimenez got off to a poor start with a bogey on the first, but a superb bunker shot on the par-five second set up a birdie to get him back to three under.
Playing partner Rickie Fowler had birdied the first, only to three-putt the second from just eight feet to drop back to three under alongside Denmark's Thomas Bjorn, who had birdied the third.
England's Lee Westwood, seeking a first major title at the 64th attempt, had dropped back to one under after a bogey on the third.
Westwood's chances suffered a potentially decisive blow with a double bogey on the fourth which left him one over par, one shot behind Ryder Cup team-mate Rory McIlroy.
McIlroy, who suffered the embarrassment of being outscored by his marker on Saturday, had been four over after a bogey at the fourth, but then birdied the seventh, eighth, ninth and 11th to get back to level par.
Defending champion Adam Scott was also level, the Australian recovering from two early bogeys to also card a hat-trick of birdies from the seventh.
That was six off the lead held by Spieth, who had birdied the second, with Matt Kuchar also six under before four-putting the fourth for a double bogey.

Nearly half of Fla. high schools given an A grade
Nearly half of Florida's high schools received an A grade for the 2011-12 school year.
Preliminary grades released by the Florida Department of Education on Friday show 47 percent of high schools earned an A and 31 percent a B. The number of schools receiving an A jumped 16 percent.
Three schools were given an F, down from six in 2010-11.
The increase in the number of schools receiving an A came despite use of a more rigorous graduation rate and standards. The state Board of Education however also approved measures to ease the transition in the 2011-12 school year grading.
The states grades its high schools based on student performance on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test as well as indicators of college readiness and participation in advanced classes.
Detailed information of individual high schools is available at the Florida Department of Education's school grades website.

Taking delivery of my new Wilier GT tomorrow the same spec as the one tested but with Cinelli Ram2 bar/stem. Can't wait to put it through its paces. I think its the best looking Bike I have seen up close, the photos dont do it justice as you can't see all the lovely lines
The Gran Turismo is a new model from Italian brand Wilier, designed to be lightweight and efficient like a road race bike but with an extra helping of comfort added to the mix. It sounds like the perfect sportive machine… Is it?
Frame and fork
The all-carbon frame is a busy design – there's plenty going on here. The front triangle is a monocoque with some unusual tube shaping. The sloping top tube, for example, is… well, there's no name for that profile. It's got a convex top, concaved sides, a couple of flat bits and then a more-or-less flat bottom edge. Complex, it's fair to say.
The down tube is a different shape but it's just as intricate. Wilier call the GranTurismo's tube shaping a Sharp Edge Design, which is reasonable enough. The edges are mostly squared off rather than curving gently into one another, with ridges and folds designed to boost the stiffness in key areas.
The top tube overlays the down tube where they meet at the head tube, wrapping around the outside. It's a similar deal at the opposite end where it flows around the seat tube and then continues down to form the seat stays. Well, that's not actually true from a structural point of view. Each seatstay/chainstay is actually made separately and then joined to the front section afterwards. The dropouts are carbon and you get a replaceable mech hanger.
Those seatstays are really skinny – triangular up by the brake mount, almost flat by the time they reach the rear dropout – the idea being to add some extra vertical give at the rear end, while the chainstays are much meatier and asymmetrically designed with different carbon layups to take account of the differing forces the drivetrain puts on either side of the bike.
Different types of carbon fibre are used for different sections of the frame. Wilier use high modulus carbon fibre for some areas but other parts are lower modulus and a little less rigid, the idea being to improve damping and add comfort.
The rear brake cable runs internally through the top tube while the gear cables head underground at the top of the down tube. The rear one pops out briefly underneath the bottom bracket but only emerges properly right next to the dropout. It makes for a clean look and also protects the cables from contamination – we approve.
If you forget about any of these frame features, by the way, don't worry: everything is labelled. Your old science teacher would be so pleased. Integrated drop-out. Asymmetric rear arms. Smooth rear design. Integrated cables system. Sharp edge design. High modulus monocoque. It's all written on the frame in finest helvetica. Over the top, if you ask us, but we guess it saves you from missing anything out when you give your mates the full tour of your new bike.
The fork gets its own label too: "Easy drive system", referring to the reinforced head tube and fork crown. It's an impressive piece of work, all carbon with broad, tapered legs, and what Wilier call a "stiffening crease" that's designed to improve lateral rigidity.
As for the geometry, the Gran Turismo is fairly aggressive for a bike pitched at sportive riding. Our test model is a size L, coming with a 55.4cm top tube and a 58.5cm seat tube. That seat tube extends well beyond the top tube junction, though – this is roughly the size of most 56cm bikes. The head tube is 16cm and even with a couple of headset spacers below the stem, the front end is pretty low. Well, low for a comfort-inspired bike – about average for a race bike. Specialized's Roubaix, for example, in a 56cm size (56.5cm top tube, so a touch larger), comes with a 19cm head tube. We'll come back to the ride position in a bit.
The Gran Turismo has a spec that's based around Campagnolo Athena and FSA SL-K parts.
It's the levers and mechs that are Athena which, if you're not familiar with the Campag hierarchy, sits below Super Record, Record and Chorus, and above Centaur and Veloce. It's 11-speed (the lower two groupsets are 10-speed) and, like the entire Campag range, it uses a little thumb lever on the inner edge of the shifter body for moving to a smaller chainwheel/sprocket.
We've got to say, although this ErgoPower system is perfectly simple to operate from the hoods, we find it a little more difficult to use from the drops than the equivalent designs from either Shimano or SRAM. But different strokes for different folks, and all that. Some people prefer it. It certainly works reliably enough and durability isn't an issue.
Most of the rest of the kit is from FSA, co-branded in Wilier livery. The chainset, for example, is a compact (50/34-tooth) model from FSA's SL-K group, coming with hollow monocoque composite crank arms. The seatpost is a carbon SL-K offering too, while the dual pivot brakes look very much like FSA's Energy callipers to us. FSA also provide the alloy stem and carbon bars, and Selle Italia chip in with an SLR saddle – again co-branded and all colour co-ordinated.
The wheels are tried and tested Fulcrum Racing 3s which are stiff, solid and reasonably light. The bearings are high quality too and they'll last an age if you open them up and give them a good greasing from time to time.
The Gran Turismo is also available in a next-level-up Chorus build with Fulcrum Racing 1 wheels for £3,850.
The ride
As we mentioned earlier, Wilier like to push the comfort angle on the Gran Turismo. Basiclally, it's designed as a sportive bike. Okay, but that depends what you mean by a 'sportive bike'. For one thing, sportives come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. The best bike for a flat 80-mile jaunt in the New Forest might not be the best bike for taking on a mountainous epic like La Marmotte.
Plus, some people want a bike with an upright position and a soft ride for taking on sportives – they're willing to take a hit on all-out speed for the sake of all-day comfort. Other riders want something that's more like a pure race bike. In other words, when it comes to sportive bikes, it depends what you're after.
The Gran Turismo performs a lot like a race bike. As we said, the geometry is racy – it's almost exactly the same as Wilier's Cento1 road race bikes. You don't get any concessions for high mileage here – it's a low and efficient set up.
That's cool with me. I don't want a high front end. I want a low and fast position when I'm on the drops, and if I want to give my back a bit of a rest, I'll go up on the tops or hoods. I don't want a high body position even when I'm on the drops.
You might be different and prefer a more relaxed setup. Absolutely fine – lots of people do. But if that's the case, this isn't the ideal geometry for you. You could flip the stem, of course, or even put on a handlebar with a bit of rise, but why bother? You might as well buy a bike with a bit more length in the head tube to begin with.
One other reason why the Gran Turismo doesn't feel like a typical sportive bike (if such a thing exists) is the firmness of the ride. Now don't get us wrong here, we're not saying this bike has a harsh feel, but if you're looking for a bike that soaks up every little bump on the road surface and plasters over all the little dents, this isn't it.
It's not so rigid that you get a whack on the arse every time you go over a cat's eye in the road, but it's towards the firm end of the spectrum (can you have a firm end of a spectrum? Probably not. But if you could, this bike would be towards it). Despite what Wilier have done with the frame design, you get a lot of feedback from the road, put it that way.
Personally, I prefer a firm-riding bike. As well as a whole lot of shorter rides, I did a few five-hour stints on the Gran Turismo and came home feeling absolutely fine – not uncomfortable in any way. That's a matter of horses for courses. It depends what you like. And the fact that the saddle is a Wilier-branded Selle Italia SLR definitely helps on the comfort front. We like the amount of flex you get there for taking the edge off the bumpy bits.
There's very little sway at the bottom bracket when you give it the beans and only a touch more at the front. We've known stiffer front ends, especially on bikes with wider head tubes (this has 1 1/8in bearings top and bottom), but the Wilier is perfectly well behaved when you charge through fast bends. Once you've steered, it stays steered, so you can spend your time concentrating on other things, like getting the power back on as quickly as possible.
The Gran Turismo is an able climber too. Ours hit the scales at 7.65kg/16.8lb so it's a perfectly respectable weight, and we rate the Fulcrum Racing 3 wheels. Combined with the stiff frame, they give a really solid feel when you get out of the saddle to lay down the law – even with larger riders on board – and the bike heads swiftly upward without complaint.
To us, the Gran Turismo rides more like a road race bike than a sportive bike. If you're after a relaxed ride position and a ton of damping, this bike isn't for you. Well over three grand for a Campag Athena-equipped bike, even taking into account the Fulcrum Racing 3 wheels and FSA SL-K parts, isn't cheap, but if you want a fast and efficient bike for eating up the miles, the Wilier is well worth considering.

This tutorial summarizes steps involved in creating simple Java Dynamic Web Project using Eclipse IDE and adding your very first JSP page in it.
We will also configure Tomcat Web Application Server with Eclipse and deploy our one page jsp web application on tomcat, from within Eclipse.
Step 1: Required Installations
Just to make sure for new Java enthusiasts (target audience for this tutorial), all required components are installed for creating first JSP Web Application.
JRE: Can't be more simple yet comprehensive than this guide here
Tomcat: Use this guide here for latest Tomcat Installation
Ecplise: Use following tutorial for installing Eclipse. Use section specific to your environment.
Step 2: Configuring Eclipse for JRE and Tomcat Server
Being independent installations, we'll need to configure our Eclipse IDE so that it will know where is our Java Runtime Environment located and which Web Server to be used for running our jsp web application.
Configuring JRE in Eclispe: In Eclipse IDE, go to Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs. In Installed JRE's section press Add provide JRE home directory and some name for this JRE. (JRE home is usually C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 .. for windows)
Configuring Tomcat in Eclipse: In same Preferences Dialogue open Window > Preferences > Server > Runtime Environments. Press Add button for launching Add Server Wizard. Walk through the wizard selecting appropriate Tomcat Server version you have downloaded above, and setting the correct Tomcat installation directory. Above installed JRE will be set as Workbench default JRE.
Step 3: Creating Blank Java Dynamic Web Project
We'll create a blank java web project using Eclipse so that we can add our first JSP page in it and deploy it on configured Tomcat Web Server.
In Eclipse select, File > New > Other, type 'Dynamic' in Wizards search field. Results will be filtered to list 'Dynamic Web Project' wizard. Select this wizard and press Next.
Pressing next will launch extensive 'Dynamic Web Project' wizard. Enter Project Name and location to create this Project. 'Hello-JPS' in our case. Complete this wizard with default settings on steps and press Finish.
With default settings, and 'Java' perspective set in Eclipse (Window > Open Perspective > Other > Java), anatomy of newly created blank Web Project will look like this in 'Package Explorer' panel:
Within WEB-INF folder, a deployment descriptor xml file is created by Eclipse. This descriptor file is used by Tomcat server, when application is deployed on it, to identify different components of this application and how to use them.
By default a
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5"> <display-name>Hello-JSP</display-name> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file> <welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file> <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> <welcome-file>default.html</welcome-file> <welcome-file>default.htm</welcome-file> <welcome-file>default.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> </web-app>
So if we create a new page with one of these names, and just deploy our web project on tomcat, it will automatically know which page to use as first landing page.
Step 4: Creating Hello World JSP Page
So let's just create our first JSP page (File > New > Other) this time enter 'JSP' and select 'JSP File' wizard. On 'Create a new JSP File Wizard' enter file name 'index.jsp' and select 'Hello-JSP' project. On next wizard page 'Use JSP Template' and select 'New JSP File (html) template. Preview of the code for generating JSP page is displayed as well.
Once finished, a new index.jsp page will be created in WebContent folder. If not created in WebContent folder, move it inside.
Open index.jsp page and enter following line of JSP code between HTML body tags.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
<%-- This is a JSP Comment before JSP Scriplet --%> <% //Prints out to console System.out.println("Hello World in Console!"); //Prints out to HTML page out.println("Hello World!"); %>
This simple code contains a JSP Comment, and a JSP Scriptlet (a piece of java code embedded within html code using JSP technology). This Scriptlet will print Hello World! message in two output streams. One is to Console and other one is to Response output stream when server is executing this java code in Response to a client Request.
Detailed JavaServer Pages Technology specifications can be found on Oracle website that will explain in depth how JSP pages are rendered on Server side and how they generate Dynamic Content inside an otherwise static HTML page.
Step 5: Deploying JSP Web Application on Tomcat using Eclipse
Time to deploy and run our Web Application Project in browser. Right click on 'Hello-JSP' project name in 'Package Explorer' panel within Eclipse.
From Project context menu select Run As > Run on Server. This will launch 'Run on Server' wizard. Our configured Tomcat server appears in the list, select it and press Finish.
Tip: You can check 'Always use this server when running this project' to bypass this step in subsequent project runs.
Clicking on Finish will start tomcat server, and runs our application on it. Eclipse will automatically launch this application in internal browser at URL:
Hint: Or you can copy paste this link any of your installed browsers and they will display the Hello World message. (In this case you won't be able to see the Console output)
Hitting this URL displayed two Hello World messages, one in Console and other one inside rendered JSP page, just as expected.
- Right click in browser window, within Eclipse, and select View Source. What difference did you see between code we entered in jsp page, and resulting Source view.
- Change print string to something else, e.g. include your name, save the page and simply refresh Eclipse browser tab. What's the effect?
- Add another jsp page in your web project and link two pages with each other using standard HTML Anchor tag. Both pages should have different print strings. (Hint: Create this page in a new folder named jsp under WebContent folder, and link it using /jsp/yournewpage.jsp)
