Ferdinand Porsche founded the company called "Dr. Ing. h. c. F. Porsche GmbH" in 1931, with main offices at in the centre of Stuttgart. Initially, the company offered motor vehicle development work and consulting, but did not build any cars under its own name. One of the first assignments the new company received was from the German government to design a car for the people, that is a "Volkswagen". This resulted in the Volkswagen Beetle, one of the most successful car designs of all time. The Porsche 64 was developed in 1939 using many components from the Beetle.
At the end of World War II in 1945, the Volkswagen factory fell to the British. Ferdinand lost his position as Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen, and Ivan Hirst, a British Army Major, was put in charge of the factory. On 15 December of that year, Ferdinand was arrested for war crimes, but not tried. During his 20-month imprisonment, Ferdinand Porsche's son, Ferry Porsche, decided to build his own car, because he could not find an existing one that he wanted to buy. The first models of what was to become the 356 were built in a small sawmill in Austria. The prototype car was shown to German auto dealers, and when pre-orders reached a set threshold, production (with aluminium body) was begun by Porsche Konstruktionen GesmbH founded by Ferry and Louise. Many regard the 356 as the first Porsche simply because it was the first model sold by the fledgling company. In 1952, Porsche constructed an assembly plant the oldest Porsche building, is now known as Porschestrasse. The 356 was road certified in 1948.
Company logo
Porsche's company logo was based on the coat of arms of the Free People's State of Württemberg of former Weimar Germany, which had Stuttgart as its capital. The arms of Stuttgart was placed in the middle as an inescutcheon, since the cars were made in Stuttgart. On 30 January 1951 Ferdinand Porsche died from complications following a stroke.
In post-war Germany, parts were generally in short supply, so the 356 automobile used components from the Volkswagen Beetle, including the engine case from its internal combustion engine, transmission, and several parts used in the suspension. The 356, however, had several evolutionary stages, A, B, and C, while in production, and most Volkswagen-sourced parts were replaced by Porsche-made parts. Beginning in 1954 the 356s engines started utilizing engine cases designed specifically for the 356. The sleek bodywork was designed by Erwin Komenda, who also had designed the body of the Beetle. Porsche's signature designs have, from the beginning, featured air-cooled rear-engine configurations (like the Beetle), rare for other car manufacturers, but producing automobiles that are very well balanced.
In 1964, after a fair amount of success in motor-racing with various models including the 550 Spyder, and with the 356 needing a major re-design, the company launched the Porsche 911: another air-cooled, rear-engined sports car, this time with a six-cylinder "boxer" engine.
The design office gave sequential numbers to every project (See Porsche type numbers), but the designated 901 nomenclature contravened Peugeot's trademarks on all 'x0x' names, so it was adjusted to 911. Racing models adhered to the "correct" numbering sequence: 904, 906, 908. The 911 has become Porsche's most well-known and iconic model – successful on the race-track, in rallies, and in terms of road car sales. Far more than any other model, the Porsche brand is defined by the 911. It remains in production; however, after several generations of revision, current-model 911s share only the basic mechanical configuration of a rear-engined, six-cylinder coupé, and basic styling cues with the original car. A cost-reduced model with the same body, but with 356-derived four-cylinder engine, was sold as the 912.
Porsche 911 (964), introduced in 1989, was the first to be offered with Porsche's Tiptronic transmission and four-wheel drive.
Porsche's 2002 introduction of the Cayenne also marked the unveiling of a new production facility in Leipzig, Saxony, which once accounted for nearly half of Porsche's annual output. In 2004, production of the 456 kilowatts (620 PS; 612 bhp) Carrera GT commenced in Leipzig, and at EUR 450,000 ($440,000 in the United States) it was the most expensive production model Porsche ever built.
In mid-2006, after years of the Boxster (and later the Cayenne) as the best selling Porsche in North America, the 911 regained its position as Porsche's best-seller in the region. The Cayenne and 911 have cycled as the top-selling model since. In Germany, the 911 outsells the Boxster/Cayman and Cayenne.
Relationship with Volkswagen
The company has always had a close relationship with, initially, the Volkswagen (VW) marque, and later, the Volkswagen Group (which also owns Audi AG), because the first Volkswagen Beetle was designed by Ferdinand Porsche.
The two companies collaborated in 1969 to make the VW-Porsche 914 and 914-6, whereby the 914-6 had a Porsche engine, and the 914 had a Volkswagen engine. Further collaboration in 1976 resulted in the Porsche 912E (US only) and the Porsche 924, which used many Audi components, and was built at Audi's Neckarsulm factory, which had been NSU's. Porsche 944s were also built there,[21] although they used far fewer Volkswagen components. The Cayenne, introduced in 2002, shares its chassis with the Volkswagen Touareg and the Audi Q7.
Production and Sales
The company has been highly successful in recent times, and indeed claims to have the highest profit per unit sold of any car company in the world.
The current Porsche model range includes sports cars from the Boxster roadster to their most famous product, the 911. The Cayman is a coupé otherwise similar to the Boxster. The Cayenne is Porsche's mid-size luxury sport utility vehicle (SUV). A high performance luxury saloon/sedan, the Panamera, was launched in 2009.

Hybrid and Electric Vehicles
In 2010 Porsche launched the Cayenne S Hybrid and announced the Panamera S Hybrid, and launched the Porsche 918 hypercar in 2014, which also features a hybrid system.
Porsche developed a prototype electric Porsche Boxster called the Boxster E in 2011] and a hybrid version of the 911 called the GT3 R Hybrid, developed with Williams Grand Prix Engineering in 2010.
In July 2014 Porsche announced the launch by the end of 2014 of the Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid a plug-in hybrid, which will displace the Cayenne S Hybrid from the line up. The S E-Hybrid will be the first plug-in hybrid in the premium SUV segment and will allow Porsche to become the first automaker with three production plug-in hybrid models.
Porsche has a record 19 outright wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Porsche is currently the world's largest race car manufacturer. In 2006, Porsche built 195 race cars for various international motor sports events. In 2007, Porsche is expected to construct no fewer than 275 dedicated race cars (7 RS Spyder LMP2 prototypes, 37 GT2 spec 911 GT3-RSRs, and 231 911 GT3 Cup vehicles).
As Porsche only had small capacity road and racing cars in the 1950s and 1960s, they scored many wins in their classes, and occasionally also overall victories against bigger cars, most notably winning the Targa Florio in 1956, 1959, 1960, 1964, and every year from 1966 to 1970 in prototypes that lacked horsepower relative to the competition, but which made up for that, with reliability, low drag, low weight and good handling.
Porsche started racing with lightweight, tuned derivatives of the 356 road car, but rapidly moved on to campaigning dedicated racing cars, with the 550, 718, RS, and RSK models being the backbone of the company's racing programme through to the mid-1960s. The 90x series of cars in the 60s saw Porsche start to expand from class winners that stood a chance of overall wins in tougher races where endurance and handling mattered, to likely overall victors. Engines did not surpass the two litres mark until the rule makers limited the capacity of the prototype class to 3 litres after 1967, as the four-litre Ferrari P series and the seven-litre Ford GT40 became too fast. Porsche first expanded its 8-cyl flat engine to 2.2 litres in the 907, then developed the 908 with full three litres in 1968. Based on this 8-cyl flat engine and a loophole in the rules, the 4.5-litre flat 12 917 was introduced in 1969, eventually expanded to five litres, and later even to 5.4 and turbocharged. Within few years, Porsche with the 917 had grown from underdog to the supplier of the fastest (380 km/h at Le Mans) and most powerful (1580 hp in CanAm) race car in the world.
Five Decades of Porsche 911 Success
Even though introduced in 1963, and winning the Rally Monte Carlo, the Porsche 911 classic (built until 1989) established its reputation in production-based road racing mainly in the 1970s.
• Porsche 911 Carrera RSR, winner of the Targa Florio, Daytona and Sebring in the mid-1970s
• Porsche 934
• Porsche 935, winner in Le Mans 1979
Due to regulation restraints, the 911 was not used very much in the 1980s, but returned in the 1990s as the Porsche 993, like the GT2 turbo model. The water-cooled Porsche 996 series became a success in racing after the GT3 variant was introduced in 1999.
24 Hours of Le Mans Successes
The Porsche 917 is considered one of the most iconic racing cars of all time and gave Porsche their first 24 Hours of Le Mans win, while open-top versions of it dominated Can-Am racing. After dominating Group 4, 5, and 6 racing in the 1970s with the 911-based 934 and 935 and the prototype 936, Porsche moved on to dominate Group C and IMSA GTP in the 1980s with the Porsche 956/962C, one of the most prolific and successful sports prototype racers ever produced.
Porsche scored a couple of unexpected Le Mans wins in 1996 and 1997. A return to prototype racing in the US was planned for 1995 with a Tom Walkinshaw Racing chassis formerly used as the Jaguar XJR-14 and the Mazda MXR-01 fitted with a Porsche engine. IMSA rule changes struck this car out of the running and the private Joest Racing team raced the cars in Europe for two years, winning back-to-back Le Mans with the same chassis, termed the Porsche WSC-95. This is a feat Porsche had also achieved in the 956 era, contrasting with the 1960s and 1970s where most cars ran only one or two races for the works before being sold on.
Between 1998 (when Porsche won overall with the Porsche 911 GT1-98) and 2014, Porsche did not attempt to score overall wins at Le Mans and similar sports car races, focusing on smaller classes and developing the water-cooled 996 GT3. Nevertheless, the GT3 and the LMP2 RS Spyder won major races overall during the period. Porsche returned to top-tier Le Mans racing in 2014 with the 919, but both cars experienced unknown engine issues with an hour and a half left to go and retired just as the #20 car was chasing down the #1 Audi in first place.
In 2015, a Porsche 919 Hybrid car driven by Nick Tandy, Earl Bamber and Nico Hülkenberg won the 83rd running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Porsche LMP1 program went on to win the overall victory in the 2015 FIA World Endurance Championship. The 919 program has also gone on to win the 84th running of Le Mans (2016) in a 919 driven by Neel Jani, Romain Dumas, and Marc Lieb, taking the lead with just over 3 minutes left. Porsche completed a hat trick by winning the 2017 24 Hours of Le Mans with drivers Timo Bernhard, Earl Bamber, and Brendon Hartley.
In mid 2017, Porsche announced that they would close their LMP1 program at the end of the year.
Teams and Sponsorship
Recently, 996-generation 911 GT3s have dominated their class at Le Mans and similar endurance and GT races.
The various versions of the Porsche 911 proved to be a serious competitor in rallies. The Porsche works team was occasionally present in rallying from the 1960s to late 1970s. In 1967 the Polish driver Sobiesław Zasada drove a 912 to capture the European Rally Championship for Group 1 series touring cars. Porsche took three double wins in a row in the Monte Carlo Rally; in 1968 with Vic Elford and Pauli Toivonen, and in 1969 and 1970 with Björn Waldegård and Gérard Larrousse.
Jean-Pierre Nicolas managed to win the 1978 Monte Carlo Rally with a private 911 SC, and Porsche's second, and so far last, WRC win came at the 1980 Tour de Corse in the hands of Jean-Luc Thérier. In the European Rally Championship, the 911 was driven to five titles, and as late as 1984, Henri Toivonen took his Prodrive-built and Rothmans-sponsored 911 SC RS to second place behind Carlo Capone and the Lancia Rally 037. In 1984 and 1986, the Porsche factory team won the Paris Dakar Rally, also using the 911 derived Porsche 959 Group B supercar.
Formula One
Despite Ferdinand Porsche having designed Grand Prix cars in the 1920s and 1930s for Mercedes and Auto Union, the Porsche AG never felt at home in single seater series.
In the late 1950s the Porsche 718 RSK, a two-seater sports car, was entered in Formula Two races, as rules permitted this, and lap times were promising. The 718 was first modified by moving the seat into the center of the car, and subsequently proper open wheelers were built. These 1500 cc cars enjoyed some success. The former F2 cars were moved up to Formula One in 1961, where Porsche's outdated design was not competitive. For 1962, a newly developed flat-eight powered and sleek Porsche 804 produced Porsche's only win as a constructor in a championship race, claimed by Dan Gurney at the 1962 French Grand Prix.
Having been very successful with turbocharged cars in the 1970s, Porsche returned to Formula One in 1983 after nearly two decades away, supplying water-cooled V6 turbo engines badged as TAG units for the McLaren Team.
For aerodynamic reasons, the Porsche-typical flat engine was out of the question for being too wide. With turbo power being the way to go in F1 at the time a 90° V6 turbo engine was produced. The TAG engine was designed to very tight requirements issued by McLaren's chief designer John Barnard. He specified the physical layout of the engine to match the design of his proposed car. The engine was funded by TAG who retained the naming rights to it, although the engines bore "made by Porsche" identification. Initially, Porsche were reluctant to have their name on the engines, fearing bad publicity if they failed. However, within a few races of the 1984 season when it became evident that the engines were the ones to have, the "Made by Porsche" badges began to appear. TAG-Porsche-powered cars took two constructor championships in 1984 and 1985, and three driver crowns in 1984, 1985 and 1986. The engines powered McLaren to 25 victories between 1984 and 1987, with 19 for 1985 and 1986 World Champion Alain Prost, and 6 for 1984 Champion Niki Lauda.
Indy Cars
Carrera Cup and Amateur Racing
Porsche has always been a popular marque for amateur racing GT and Production Sports Car racing in Europe, America and Asia, particularly the Porsche 911. Stock and lightly modified Porsches are raced in many competitions around the world; many of these are primarily amateur classes for enthusiasts.
Porsche has and continues to build models based on road cars but optimised for competition, most famously the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. Porsche has established and supported several motor racing series, many of them single-model series for Porsches, or specific models of Porsche. Porsche Carrera Cup has featured in several countries and today variations of Carrera Cup have been held in Asia, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Britain, Italy, Japan, the Middle East, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Scandinavia as well as originating IROC in the United States. A professional series evolved from these, the European-based Porsche Supercup.
21st Century
Porsche dropped its factory motorsports program after winning the 1998 24 Hours of Le Mans with the Porsche 911 GT1 for financial reasons.
Porsche made a comeback in the LMP2 category in 2005 with the new RS Spyder prototype. Based on LMP2 regulations, the RS Spyder made its debut for Roger Penske's team at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca during the final race of the 2005 American Le Mans Series season, and immediately garnered a class win in the LMP2 class and finishing 5th overall. The nimble albeit less powerful (due to the regulations) RS Spyder clearly possessed the pace to challenge Audi and Lola LMP1 cars in the ALMS. Penske Racing won the LMP2 championship on its first full season in 2006 and against Acura in 2007 and 2008. 2007 was the most successful year for the RS Spyder, winning 8 overall races and 11 class wins. The car debuted on European circuits in 2008 and dominated the Le Mans Series; Van Merksteijn Motorsport, Team Essex and Horag Racing taking the first three places in the LMP2 championship. Van Merksteijn Motorsport took a class victory at the 2008 24 Hours of Le Mans and Team Essex won the LMP2 class at the 2009 24 Hours of Le Mans.
In a survey conducted by the Luxury Institute in New York, Porsche was awarded the title of "the most prestigious automobile brand". Five hundred households with a gross annual income of at least $200,000 and a net worth of at least $720,000 participated.

It sounds like a cliché, but Paul Manners is not your average real estate agent.
Family oriented and holistically driven, Paul has a profound awareness of the weightiness of decisions such as selling a long-term family home filled with memories or locating the perfect place to create a lifetime of happiness.
And much of his motivation to help clients make these life-changing transitions comes from this understanding.
"A lot of the people I deal with are either selling their treasured and much loved family home because they need to relocate or perhaps downsize, or they are looking to buy a property where they can start their journey and grow many happy memories.
"There is no way of down-playing the gravity of these kinds of decisions and for me, the most rewarding part of this job is helping people achieve their goals and dreams.
Recognising the passion of his own connection to the ocean, nature and community, Paul relocated with his wife Talei and children to the South West from Perth about ten years ago.
"I have always worked in sales, and was previously a part owner in (surf label) West, I have a life-long love of surfing and the ocean, so it seemed like a natural choice to move to Gracetown. But it was a big move nonetheless and I like to think that insight helps me do a better job when I am at work."
Paul says he always spends time getting to know his clients before rising to the challenge of finding a solution that is perfect for each situation.
"I always go the extra mile and I get a real kick out of that," he says. "For me, it is important to build a good relationship with the people I work for so that I can understand their situation and come up with good options. I genuinely enjoy seeing people happy and I really am all about making things easier for people."
Not surprisingly, many of Paul's friends in the region are former clients.
Paul is a true gentleman. Nothing was too hard from start to finish. All queries were answered swiftly. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.

Paul will really listen to the sellers needs/wants. He's very approachable and understanding. Sold my house within a good time frame and worked well to get the highest possible outcome. Highly recommend!
Alana, Margaret River
Our experience selling our house with Paul was great, he was able to give us great advice and was very professional. We would highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a house. Thanks Paul.

St. Joseph's Children's Hospital cares for a variety of children with different surgical needs. Those that require orthopedic intervention to help heal conditions such as developmental hip dysplasia or a broken leg require a SPICA cast for roughly 8-12 weeks. This large cast extends from the mid-chest to the ankle with a bar between the legs to help reinforce the cast and prevent breakage. Due to the cumbersome nature of the cast, a wheelchair will not typically accommodate the cast.
To relieve the strain of transporting a toddler from room to room, doctors' appointments and daily activities, the Little Red Wagon Fund was created. With funds raised, the hospital has been able to provide families with financial constraints the ability to take care of their injured child in the best way possible.

SAN DIEGO (December 19, 2016)- According to NBC San Diego, a two young adult men were injured following a hit-and-run Sunday evening after being hit at Sports Arena Boulevard and Rosecrans Street.
Two men had been crossing the street within a marked crosswalk before being struck by a motorist who failed to stop and continued to leave to scene failing to render aid.
One of the victims, a 24-year-old man was dragged about 800 feet ultimately sustaining a broken pelvis along with other serious bodily injuries. He was rushed to a trauma center.
The other victim who was not identified by name or age was rushed to UCSD Med Center with moderate to serious injuries.
Police officials were able to finally find the hit-and-run driver who was identified as Yosvaldo Sixco, 21, after he crashed his vehicle into a parked car and a power pole.
It was determined that Sixco was likely under the influence as well as he was arrested and faces multiple charges.
At Johnson Attorneys Group, it is just as much of a priority for us to help the police and other law enforcement officials locate the hit-and-run drivers as it is to get you the compensation you deserve for your injuries and expenses. Anytime a motorist hits another vehicle or pedestrian and then flees the scene without contacting that person, it is considered to be a hit-and-run accident. While a person at-fault is obligated by law to stop immediately after collision, this is not always the case. Leaving the scene of an accident that involved injuries or even fatalities is a serious crime and is considered a felony. For legal assistance with your hit-and-run accident case, contact our San Diego personal injury lawyers by calling us toll free at 800-235-6801. We can provide you with free case evaluation and help you take the right steps after your accident.

We've all been there: walking around a kitchen, trying to wash up, with the washing machine constantly blocking our paths.
Well, Romanian designer Andrei Bojor has come up with SpaceSaver, an innovation that combines both a sink and a washing machine together.
Combination station
The premise of this particular device is that "fewer materials are needed to manufacture one object instead of two",
The sink is ergonomically designed to protrude forward, thus saving you the problem of having to bend when washing up.
Has anyone ever had a washing machine going in the same room when trying to wash plates? The things fall all over the place. Imagine if the two were together…broken plate central, surely?
We at TechRadar would like to see more space-saving ideas. One of the best: a washing machine, dryer and oven all together, so you could 'cook' your clothes dry after washing.
Check out the picture: for some reason this person has their washing machine in their bathroom.

General Question
What is the difference/relationship between HTML and CSS?
Asked by bonus (543) June 2nd, 2009
Trying to tweak tumblr.com site with custom design. I am not sure what of the existent code needs to stay or can be removed. When I paste it into notepad++ I can see, when I save it as an HTML file, that some of it is colored but the bulk is plain. I am assuming the colored text is HTML and the rest is CSS.

Crowdfunding has become a popular way for people to raise money, typically from a large number of people over the internet. I've seen people on Facebook redirecting friends to their donation pages for things like medical and vet bills. Speaking of Facebook, the social media giant will be setting up its own version of GoFundMe called Personal Fundraiser in the very near future.
Asking friends and family for financial help to pay for things like emergency medical bills is one thing, but pleading for frivolous items is another. You're not going to believe what this Georgia man is asking others to pay for.
Has crowdfunding gotten out of control?
What we're talking about is a 30-year-old man from Atlanta, William Oliver, asking other people to foot the bill for an engagement ring. He started a GoFundMe page with a goal of raising $15,000.
Apparently, Oliver has already purchased the ring and asked his girlfriend, Alexandra, to marry him. Spoiler alert: she said yes!
Below is a picture of the actual ring that was taken during the proposal.
On his donation page, Oliver said, "I've decided to get some help by making this a trending approach. This will raise awareness about the difference between the love we share and the love people have for us. Money for the engagement is your chance to get involved. I've heard everything from 'I Love Yall' to 'You need to put a Ring On It' etc etc."
His page is actually trending and has over 14,000 shares. Unfortunately for Oliver though, it looks like he fell well short of his goal. He received just $609 after 10 days and the page is no longer accepting donations.
If you look at crowdfunding sites, you will see all kinds of requests for money. Education, sports, weddings, honeymoons and vacations just to name a few. As I said earlier, I understand asking for help in emergency situations, but wanting others to pay for that luxurious beach vacation seems a bit much.
Would you ever feel comfortable setting up a crowdfunding page to ask for donations? Leave a comment and tell us your thoughts.

Australia's departing coach Bert van Marwijk admitted his side's lack of a top-class striker once again cost them dear after a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Peru on Tuesday saw them exit the World Cup.
"You could see that for this team it is difficult to make the difference in goals at this level," said the Dutchman after the game in Sochi, repeating a familiar complaint at the tournament.
Australia played well for much of the match against the South Americans but had no reply to goals in each half from Andre Carrillo and Paolo Guerrero.
It followed good performances in losing 2-1 to France and holding Denmark to a 1-1 draw, but their only goals at the tournament came from Mile Jedinak penalties.
"In all three games we couldn't really make the difference in goals, and that is something this squad misses on this level.
"That is a pity because today when you see the statistics, I don't really know, but for my feeling we had maybe 60 percent ball possession, and I think we had a lot more chances and shots at goal."
Denmark went through from Group C with France, and the 0-0 draw between those two sides in Moscow confirmed that even an Australian win would have been in vain.
"Even if we had won with two, three, four-zero, it wouldn't have changed anything, only in the feeling for the players, and for all Australia, so that is a pity," added Van Marwijk, who now leaves the job to make way for the incoming Graham Arnold.

Chances are you have a mate who carries a vintage camera at all times. Spends each weekend wandering aimlessly around the Barbican, photographing leaves and balconies. Would defend their Instagram 'aesthetic' with their lives, if it came down to it.
Still, what an Instagram it is! And they're not alone in their obsession. Driven by a desire to stand out from the brunch crowd and grow their follower count, millions of people have dived into the world of #35mm cameras over the past few years – and needless to say, you want in too.
Well, It's not as simple as you might think. But who better to start you on your journey than John Wade, author of Retro Cameras: The Collector's Guide to Vintage Film Photography? No one, that's who...
"There's bags of stuff on eBay, and that's probably the first place to start," says John. "A 35mm single-lens reflex (SLR) camera would be your best bet."
Opt for a model from one of the big five brands from back in seventies: Canon, Minolta, Nikon, Olympus or Pentax. They're all basic, hardwearing, top quality and shouldn't come at too much cost. 35mm film cassettes can also be bought cheaply on Amazon.
"You can pick a classic, pre-owned Canon A1 up for around £80, or an AE-1 Program for slightly more, and they can do everything. But any camera with a program mode is good for a beginner." Program is an exposure function that does all the hard work for you, until you feel ready to manually alter your shots.
Famed for bridging the gap between photographers and hobbyists in the seventies, both Canon cameras come fitted with 'shutter priority', which means "you can choose your shutter speed, and your camera will automatically choose an aperture" (that's the hole in the lens which dictates how much light travels through the camera body). Other great options include the (almost) indestructible Pentax K1000 and the Olympus OM-1.
If you want to get your hands on the camera before you buy, then check out vintage markets – but without the safety net of eBay or Amazon, you have to know what to look out for. "As you pick them up, go through all the shutter speeds and make sure they're not sticking - that is, opening but not closing. That's your first port of call."
It's also worth checking if replacement batteries are still available for your chosen camera. "Mercury sales were deemed a bit dangerous in the late eighties, so many batteries have been discontinued." Give it a Google before you buy, just in case.
One more thing: if you authentically want to pursuit film photography, then steer clear of Lomo cameras which produce those once-trendy but low-quality shots that took over Instagram a few years ago - the ones where colour bleeds into the edges of the frame.
"A lot of people refer to all old film cameras as Lomo, but they're not. Lomo cameras have got nasty old plastic lenses, and produce imperfect pictures. I spent my life trying to avoid taking shots like that!"
Of course, if you've got some money to spend then you can get your hands on a brand new, top-spec camera. We recommend the Leica CL 18mm F2.8.
Understanding your camera
If you want to move past automatic mode, then you'll have to get your head around the shutter speed, aperture and focus functions. "For a picture to look natural, it needs to be correctly exposed," says John.
The aperture controls the light let through the lens, and the shutter speed decides how much light is allowed to reach the film. According to John, different shots require different combinations of the two.
"If you're interested in photographing sport, for example, you'd want a fast shutter speed to capture the action - and that means you need a wide aperture. If you're photographing landscape, you'll rely on the aperture, and then compensate with a light shutter speed." Fast shutter speeds freeze the action, while slow speeds can be used to blur movement.
Aperture settings are generally set on a ring around the camera lens, while shutter speeds can be found on the top plate dial.
But if it all sounds a bit confusing, don't worry. The best results will come from experimenting with your camera, and finding what settings work for you. "Learn what the camera's doing and start to do it yourself. You'll have more fun."
Developing your shots
Unless you plan on covering your bedroom windows with bin liners and creating your own dark room, you're going to be splashing out on developing photos. "At one time it was dirt cheap, but the prices have just about tripled. You can develop colour film – 36 pictures – at Snappy Snaps for around £15."
The bin liners are sounding more appealing now, aren't they? "Building your own dark room is a hell of a lot cheaper than it used to be," says John. "Very few people want the equipment nowadays, so you can buy an enlarger for a few quid on eBay. There are companies which still specialise in the chemistry, too. We used to black out the downstairs toilet, so that nobody could get in."
Your housemates probably won't approve of that, so stick with Snappy Snaps. They'll even give you the shots back on a CD, so you won't have to mess about with a scanner.
Photography tips
"When you look through the viewfinder of a camera, it's very easy to to have tunnel vision," warns John. "You focus on the subject in the middle of the frame and nothing around it. Then you press the shutter, and your subject is small. Make sure to take in the whole image through the viewfinder."
When it comes to subjects, John believes it's all in the details. "Strange patterns in brickwork, and that kind of thing. Really start looking at things you've taken for granted in the past."
But ultimately, 35mm are best suited to snapshots of life. "If you look back at pictures that were taken fifty, hundred years ago, it's not the lovely landscapes that are interesting – it's the snapshots. Because you see life as it actually was, rather than an idealised version."
In this overly filtered social media age, perhaps that explains why the 35mm renaissance shows no sign of stopping yet.
Retro Cameras: The Collector's Guide to Vintage Film Photography by John Wade is out now.

As much as baby boomers hate to admit it (and I'm one myself), we're getting older. Not unexpectedly for some of the oldest members of this demographic cluster, riding no longer is the breeze it once was due to declining physical skills – even though an interest in riding persists.
Harley-Davidson will cater to those riders in the coming model year with the 2009 Tri Glide Ultra Classic, a new $30,000 trike – excuse me, $29,999 trike. It will be joined by a new VRSC model, a 121-horsepower, snub-reared version suggestively dubbed the V-Rod Muscle. Several other American-made Harley models will see modifications for 2009, with the seven Touring models getting a new chassis.
Triumph, meanwhile, will finally go head-to-head with Harley in the heavy cruiser division. It will revive the Thunderbird name with the new belt-driven 2009 Thunderbird 1600, which will have 100 horsepower driving a 200 mm rear tire. It will also have a six-speed transmission.
The British bike-maker also plans another version for the Street Triple called the Street Triple R and will give the Daytona 675 sport bike a facelift.
While Harley's 2009 slate didn't include anything as eye-shocking as last year's Softail "Rocker" models, there is enough that's new to certainly draw fans of Milwaukee-made iron to showrooms in the coming months.
The Tri Glide Ultra Classic "offers the classic styling and popular touring features of Ultra Classic Electra Glide," according to Harley. It's powered by a Twin Cam 103 V-Twin engine and has a six-speed transmission. A reverse gear is a $1,195 option. The Tri Glide also has 4.5 cubic foot trunk, while the front fairing boasts an 80-watt audio system with CB radio and passenger intercom. "It really is a purpose-built and uniquely engineered three-wheeler," said Al Lucchino, co-owner of Harley-Davidson of Danbury, who attended the recent Harley dealers' convention. "The fit, the finish and the engineering are second to none." "Harley" Bob LaRoche, owner of Yankee Harley-Davidson in Bristol, thinks the timing is fortuitous for the Tri Glide. "As a society, we have folks who want to ride but who don't necessarily feel comfortable enough or are physically able enough. The knees give out as you get old. This gives those folks the opportunity to get the wind in their faces," he said.
Unfortunately, Harley reportedly only plans to build about 1,300 of the trikes, allocating two per dealership, meaning they will likely bring a premium price above MSRP. The new V-Rod Muscle displays new bodywork from previous VRSC models, including side air scoops, sweeping side exhaust pipes (one on each side) and a clipped rear fender under which is a 240 mm tire. The V-Rod Muscle is powered by a liquid-cooled Revolution 1250cc V-Twin and LaRoche sees this model appealing "to a younger group of folks than the traditional Harley rider." Lucchino explained, "What Harley has done has taken some of the European influence to make it even edgier than (previous V-Rod models). The V-Rod Muscle is designed to be more easily upgraded with accessories (than prior models)."
Changes to the Touring models are designed to make them more responsive and comfortable. They include a new frame, swingarm, wheels and tires. The exhaust and engine mounts have been altered as well. The result will be bikes that handle better and run cooler.
Other models will get tweaked, too. The Dyna Street Bob gets a chopped rear fender and blacked-out power train, while the Heritage Softail Classic get taller handlebars and "Cat Eye" console.
The entire Sportster and FX (except for the Dyna Fat Bob) lines will get new front fenders that decrease the gap between fender and tire. Harley also plans six new color combinations for 2009.
For Triumph dealers, the Thunderbird 1600 provides a saleable alternative to a Harley. "Take a mix between a Rocket (III) and Speedmaster and that's what you get," said Dave Rosen, general manager of Gengras Triumph in East Hartford, who sat on one at Triumph's dealer show in England last month. What Rosen finds disappointing is the fact that the Thunderbird 1600 won't be in showrooms until July 2009. "They're going to beat on the bike for another year," he said, the purpose being to make sure all bugs are worked out.
All of Triumphs lines (including the Bonneville models) will be fuel-injected for 2009, with Triumph planning a limited edition 50th anniversary version of the Bonneville. A total of 650 will be produced but only 150 will be sent to the U.S.
Weekend Charity Ride
The fourth annual Support Our Troops Ride benefiting the PFC Anthony D'Agostino Memorial Fund is set for Sunday morning. Registration begins at 9 a.m. at the commuter parking lot at Exit 42 off of Route 8 with the ride through the Litchfield Hills beginning at 11:30 a.m. Cost is $25 for a rider and passenger. A BBQ follows at Riders Café in Waterbury.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - Georgia Southwestern jumped out to a 6-1 lead in the second inning on Friday evening at John Kurtz Field and held on late to upend No. 22 Georgia College, 7-5, in Game 1 of their Peach Belt Conference weekend baseball series. The Bobcats defended their home turf on Saturday, handing GSW a pair of losses to close out the weekend.
With only one regular season game remaining on its 2017 schedule, GSW holds an overall record of 18-27. The Hurricanes finished 10-14 in the Peach Belt, in a tie for eighth place, and must wait until Sunday for confirmation of their postseason conference tournament bid. Georgia College is 30-11 overall, 16-8 in PBC play. For GSW, picking up even one road win against the 22nd-ranked team in the country was impressive as it was only the third loss Georgia Collgege suffered at home in 24 games this season.
The Hurricanes close out their regular season on Tuesday with a short trip to Albany State for a 5 p.m. game.
The Hurricanes feasted on the long ball early. Alex Kranick led off the game with a home run to left field. In the second inning, back-to-back jacks from Will Redding and Dakota Long paced a five-run frame. Redding hit a two run shot. Jonathan Martin delivered a two-out, two-run single later in the Hurricanes at bat.
GSW had a couple of chances to extend its lead, but left the bases loaded in the fourth inning. The Hurricanes managed to push across their final run in the sixth on an infield ground out with the bases loaded, but left two runners on to end the inning.
GSW center fielder Evan Alderman led all batters with three hits. Will Redding was 2-for-3 at the plate with a walk for the Hurricanes.
Brandon Benson and Garrett Green had two hits apiece to lead Georgia College.
GSW starting pitcher Kyle Spinks (2-3) was outstanding through the opening five innings. Over that span, Spinks held the Bobcats to one unearned run and five hits. He ran into a little trouble in the sixth and was relieved by Drew Powers who threw 2 2/3 innings, allowed one hit, walked one and struck out four. Mitch Holloway closed the door on Georgia College by forcing a game-ending double play to pick up his fifth save of the season.
Georgia College starter Brady Walsh (5-2) was pulled after 1 2/3 innings having allowed eight hits and six earned runs. Perry Keith held GSW to one run over the next 4 1/3 innings and Kane Keith followed with three scoreless frames.
The Bobcats scored five runs in the first inning, seven more in the second and never looked back to cruise to a 23-6 win in the opening game of Saturday's doubleheader.
GSW pulled within 5-4 after scoring three runs in the top of the second inning off RBI singles by Redding, Josh Logan and Alderman, but the Hurricanes couldn't sustain the torrid pace necessary to match the 22nd-ranked Bobcats.
Kranick, Alderman, Redding and Zach Barron collected two hits apiece. Kranick and Barron belted doubles. Redding drove in three.
Wesley Wommack went 4-for-4 at the plate to lead Georgia College. Logan Mattix and Phillip Stiles added three hits. Georgia College smacked four home runs in the game with Stiles delivering two of the blasts.
Unfortunately for GSW, it was much of the same offensive firepower from Georgia College in the nightcap. Georgia College scored nine runs in the first inning and led 13-1 after the second. The Hurricanes could get no closer than within 10 runs the rest of the way.
Barron and Long were both 4-for-5 at the plate with a home run for GSW in the finale. Redding added three hits, one of which was a double, and two RBIs. Martin extended his current hitting streak to 17 games and Redding has hit safely in 14 straight contests.
Cal Gentry turned in a perfect 6-for-6 performance with a double, a home run and seven RBIs to lead the Georgia College attack. Benson, Mattix and Green had four hits apiece. Nate Schmal hit three doubles.

Gurugram, Sep 18 (IANS) The Ryan International School, where a seven-year-old boy was found murdered inside a washroom on September 8, reopened on Monday after the Haryana government suspended the management and appointed Gurugram Deputy Commissioner Vinay Pratap Singh as its new administrator
The media have been barred from entering the school premises in Bhondsi on Sohna road as it can cause "undue disturbances".
The government has ordered a CBI inquiry into the killing of Pradhuman Thakur of Class 2 who was found with his throat slit inside the school within an hour after his father dropped him there.
The father, Varun Chandra Thakur, has moved the Supreme Court over his son's murder, demanding that the school should remain closed until the CBI completes its probe into his son's murder.
He said there was a possibility of evidence tampering with the re-opening of the school.

Jon Herskovitz and Youkyung Lee – Bloomberg
The bellicose rhetoric between the US and North Korea has certainly cooled, with no more threats of nuclear annihilation or personal insults. But months after Donald Trump shared a historic handshake with Kim Jong Un in June, a nuclear deal remains elusive. The US president cites the more than year-long break in North Korean missile tests as a diplomatic success and says he's in "no hurry" to get more done, even as North Korea's nuclear program quietly advances. North Korea has accused the US of "gunboat diplomacy" by making demands without offering something in return. As the two leaders prepare for a second summit Feb. 27-28 in Vietnam, there's still the difficult issue of putting meat on the bare-bones language in the declaration the two leaders signed at their first meeting.
1. What did the agreement call for?
Four things: To normalize ties between the US and North Korea, formally end the 1950-53 Korean War, repatriate US war remains and — crucially — "to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula." But "work toward" is undefined. It's also unclear whether the US nuclear umbrella over South Korea is included. US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo says that Kim accepted the "final, fully verified denuclearization of North Korea." North Korea points out the agreement referred to the entire peninsula and insists US weapons must go at the same time, or it would be left vulnerable to attack.
2. What does 'denuclearization' entail?
To start, the US wants North Korea to provide an inventory of weapons, facilities and fissile material it has produced. Kim's regime calls that akin to asking for a "target list." Further steps would include inspections, closing facilities and destroying weapons, and even surrendering nuclear material, according to proliferation experts. Past talks have faltered on the question of inspections and verification.
3. What does North Korea want?
Kim wants "corresponding measures," or immediate rewards, for any steps his regime makes. In a televised New Year's address, Kim threatened to take a "new path" if Washington didn't relax crippling economic sanctions. He signaled that any deal might require weakening the US-South Korean alliance, urging Seoul not to resume military exercises with the American side. And he made clear that he believed the denuclearization pledge includes "strategic assets" such as America's nuclear-capable planes and warships. But his language was less bellicose than past years, possibly reflecting his limited options.
4. So what's happened since Singapore?
Small steps. In July, North Korea released some 55 sets of remains of US troops killed in the Korean War, but negotiations slowed over the remains of thousands of others. While Kim followed through on pledges to refrain from nuclear weapons tests and dismantle testing facilities, those were moves he had committed to before meeting Trump, having declared the testing phase complete. On the US side, Trump suspended or scaled back military drills with South Korea, calling them expensive "war games." In doing so, he overruled then-Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, who argued they were needed to ensure troop readiness. But the Trump administration also imposed extra sanctions on North Koreans, as it seeks to keep the pressure on.
5. Are they talking?
Not much at the highest levels until a Jan. 18 White House meeting between Trump and Kim Yong Chol, one of the North Korean leader's top aides, where they agreed to a second summit at the end of February, time and place to be determined. That was followed by weekend talks outside Stockholm — also notable since North Korean officials had been snubbing Trump's special envoy, Stephen Biegun, for months. In Sweden, Biegun reportedly asked his North Korean interlocutor, Choe Son Hui, for a freeze on nuclear fuel and weapons production. As Trump was announcing the date for the second summit, Biegun was in Pyongyang meeting his North Korean counterpart to prepare for it. Relations between North and South Korea have improved somewhat, with a deal in September for removing land mines and some guard posts from the border zone. The US-China trade war has complicated cooperation between Washington and Beijing, Kim's main ally, but China has said it backs further meetings between Trump and Kim.
6. Is North Korea still dangerous?
Trump declared after the summit that North Korea was "no longer a nuclear threat." The prospect of war seems to have receded and there has been an unprecedented flurry of low-level diplomatic contacts and correspondence. But no one has produced a timetable for Kim to give up his weapons. North Korea has continued to strengthen and expand its nuclear capabilities, according to satellite-imagery analysis and leaked American intelligence. Pompeo has conceded before the US Senate that Kim's regime continues to produce fissile material. In June, he said the bulk of denuclearization could be completed by the end of Trump's first term in 2020. Now he — and Trump — say they won't be forced into "artificial time frames."
7. Why isn't the Korean War officially over?
Because the parties involved in talks to end the war — China, North Korea and the US-led UN Command — never were able to agree on a peace treaty. What was signed in 1953 was only an armistice, or truce. However, signing a treaty now without a disarmament deal carries risks for the US, because it could legitimize Kim's control over half of the peninsula and undermine the rationale for stationing 28,000 or so American troops in South Korea. Each side uses the continued threat of attack to justify its own military activities. Trump has so far refused to accept a symbolic peace declaration, prompting the North Koreans to accuse the US of backtracking on its commitments.

"Nina" Review
Joe (Derek Michalak) is a short order cook filled with regret and disappointment who spends most of his nights alone on the rooftop of his apartment building drinking his thoughts away.
Tanya (Amy Herring) is a waitress living under the pressure of trying to build a new life in America with amidst the thundering presence of her husband.
Then, there's Nina (Danicah Waldo), a 12-year-old runaway whose efforts to survive the mean streets are challenged time and time again.
Three people. Three different yet similar stories. What happens when their paths cross?
Written and directed by Luis L. Del Rosario, Jr. in his feature film debut,
is the story of how these three lives weave their journeys together and, in the process, begin to redefine exactly what is meant by the word family. Eventually, their eagerness to start over will lead to an optimistic plan to escape their meager existence in an effort to achieve a better life. Before they can escape, their love and hope will be tested again.
Winner of the Best Feature Audience Award and Best Romance Genre Award at the New York International Film Festival and the Queens Spirit Award at the Queens International Film Festival,
is a deeply moving and involving film featuring a trio of fine performances and a story by Del Rosario that is involving and always compelling.
is the kind of film that I enjoy most, a low-budget hidden jewel that soars because of a low or non-paid cast and crew that are working together for the love of the craft, the hope that one more door to a career film might get opened and that silly ole' thing we call the American dream where anyone can achieve anything with a dream, hard work, practice and being in the right place at the right time.
If there's any justice in the world of cinema (and who knows?), Michalak, Herring and Waldo (Stop it. No "Where's Waldo?" jokes) are well on their way to bigger and, at the very least, higher paying things in the cinematic world.
This is not to say that
doesn't occasionally fall victim to those ever present challenges of producing a full-length feature on practically no budget. Indeed, it does. While the camera work is rather amazing given the film's modest production budget, there's no denying that certain scenes, especially those at night, are simply too dark and, at times, overhead shots are just a touch blurry given the results of budgetary editing constraints.
Yet, Del Rosario works with family for much of the film's production and this generally gives the film a remarkable consistency in tone, look and feel. Randino Del Rosario nicely handles the film's production and make-up design, while Anne Marie Del Rosario serves as the film's music supervisor.
Speaking of the music,
is infinitely gifted by the presence of Irish alternative band STAND. The music serves as the perfect complement to the film, allowing Del Rosario to add an emotional spark to scenes without requiring special effects or excessive editing that would have added immeasurably to the film's production costs.
When it comes down to it, though,
could have never worked without a solid cast to sell the story.
Derek Michalak, a veteran of stage and screen, gives a convincing and grounded performance as a man of both tremendous vulnerability and strength, while Amy Herring also shines as the young waitress Tanya. However, it is the beautiful, tender and low-key performance of Danicah Waldo, who was a 9th grader when this film was made, that truly allows
to transcend its fiscal and technical limits and become a truly moving and involving film.
Having been on the film festival circuit for awhile now,
is currently available through Netflix and on DVD.
However, boy does The Independent Critic have a special deal for you.
Time and time again, The Independent Critic gets letters from readers saying "How can we see these low budget indies you're always writing about?" Of course, film festivals and eventual release on home video are usually the only options available for many of the ultra indie flicks or those that could be termed as microcinema.
Until now.

Your child's teeth play an important role in the overt appearance of their smile as well as the basic function of their mouth. Alignment issues that aren't corrected in a reasonable amount of time can increase your son or daughter's chances of suffering from dental health conditions like tooth enamel attrition and dental fractures.
Fortunately, a consultation at Barnett Orthodontics's orthodontic clinic can help determine the most effective method for correcting an alignment problem. This might call for installing traditional braces into their mouth and cementing metal brackets onto the faces of their teeth.
If one area of your child's mouth has severely overcrowded, Dr. Richard Barnett and his team might recommend extracting one of the teeth. This will allow the sufficient space for the adjacent teeth to gradually come into their ideal alignment.
Once the periodontal tissues have been sutured Dr. Richard Barnett will provide you with the necessary recovery information to ensure their gums heal without complications. This might also include a prescription for anti-inflammatory or pain medications.
If you are in the Richfield, Utah, area and you are concerned about the alignment of your son or daughter's permanent teeth, you should call 435-896-4930 to set up a braces consultation at Barnett Orthodontics.

Substations are the places where the level of voltage undergoes change with the help of transformers. Apart from transformers a substation will house switches (called circuit breakers), meters, relays for protection and other control equipment. Broadly speaking, a big substation will receive power through incoming lines at some voltage (say 400 kV) changes level of voltage (say to 132 kV) using a transformer and then directs it out wards through outgoing lines. Pictorially such a typical power system is shown in figure 2.6 in a short of block diagram. At the lowest voltage level of 400 V, generally 3-phase, 4-wire system is adopted for domestic connections. The fourth wire is called the neutral wire (N) which is taken out from the common point of the star connected secondary of the 6 kV/400 V distribution transformer.

My sister recently got the latest They Might Be Giants CD, "The Else," which came out a few weeks ago. It is better than recent music from most bands I've heard lately, but it isn't quite as musically bombastic as their earlier stuff that I'm more familiar with. But even though the music isn't as off-the-wall as I'd expect from them, the lyrics are still humorously bizarre and catchy. To support my statements, I found a bit of trivia regarding the album that says that this is the only They Might Be Giants album where every track is longer than 2 minutes and the only album not to feature the accordion. However, I particularly loved the track "The Mesopotamians" which seemed to be about a fictional band of bronze-age despots including Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh. And as a bonus, the album did come with a 23-track bonus disc which features songs in high-fidelity which were previously only released via podcast. It has plenty of goofy songs that last less than 2 minutes and it does feature some nice accordion work.
Also, I just saw one of the music videos for the album on YouTube. Stop-motion animation + They Might Be Giants. Loads of fun. Not the best song on the album, but it's still good fun.

Michael Kors celebrates American classics for S/S 20

Jan 23, 2012
Paris: Yves Saint Laurent's Fall collection practically embodied the word "slick." From the leather-tipped blazers and sleek trousers to the high-collared shirts cut close to the body, designer Stefano Pilati was in a darkly sensual mood. Midway through the presentation the silhouette loosened up, easing from slim double-breasted overcoats in grey wool to boxy shearling tunics, pleated pants and crewneck intarsia knits emblazoned with razor blade graphics. Working within a basic palette of black, grey and white, Pilati included a number of surprising and innovative details, such as trompe l'oeil suspenders on knit tops, but at times the preponderance of leather became overwhelming in head-to-toe ensembles.—Nina Stotler
