The Chinese administration has a tricky course to steer in the coming months. It must live up to expectations that it will implement economic reforms and choke off ever-increasing credit supply, without destabilising the economy and provoking popular unrest.
Because China is a Communist state, however much it may have opened itself up to the market, the government still has a great deal of power over all aspects of the economy, but even it is unable to achieve its various goals without a long drawn-out process.
"The naysayers of China's economic boom are surfacing again, warning all those who care to listen that the country's debt-fuelled growth will eventually prove its undoing," says Philip Ehrmann, manager of the Jupiter China fund. He thinks these concerns are misplaced. "The new Chinese administration has made quite clear that it is engaging in meaningful reform to manage the excesses, intended or otherwise, that have been building up in the economy."
"In a Chinese discussion, you always have the bulls and the bears, and it always comes down to faith in the Chinese government," says Erwin Blaauw, a senior country-risk analyst at Rabobank. "It has some control over every aspect of the economy, and that explains why it is not in crisis – yet."
One of the main risks for a Chinese crisis is the ever-expanding supply of credit. The government has made it clear it would like to limit this supply, making individual banks more aware of their responsibility to manage their own liquidity instead of relying on the People's Bank of China to inject liquidity into the market whenever it is asked.
On a number of occasions, the PBoC has not responded to a need for extra liquidity immediately, causing significant market volatility, such as spikes in Shibor, the key overnight lending rate. In each case, however, the central bank has ultimately supplied the requisite liquidity. The question then is whether Chinese financial institutions are reading this as a comforting message they will not be hung out to dry, or a warning that they should get their houses in order.
Mr Blaauw is optimistic "banks are becoming more aware of their own responsibility for liquidity". This could eventually lead to a situation where a bank failure would not risk a systemic crash, but "we are not there yet", he warns.
These actions have failed to curb credit growth, as January produced record new credit figures. Mr Ehrmann says he is confident this is nothing to worry about, as "it has been accompanied and supported by very healthy foreign currency reserves and levels of domestic savings".
Over the summer, the Chinese government will probably have a series of opportunities to demonstrate its determination to allow markets to move to more efficient capital allocation, as a series of trusts, wealth management vehicles that are a significant source of liquidity to the credit market, mature. It is expected that more than one may struggle to find the necessary liquidity.
Just such an event occurred toward the end of January, when the China Credit Trust threatened to become the country's biggest failure of this kind in a decade. In the end, investors got their capital back as a bailout was organised just before the Chinese new year, sparking concerns that investors will fail to learn their lesson about default risk.
"The question is, will they let one fail later in the year?" says Mr Blaauw. The PBoC will be concerned about market reaction to such a failure, as it was in January, but "the downside of a bailout would be that investors think [such a product] will never fail".
Klaus Wiener, chief economist at Generali Investments, is more sanguine. He expects a number of defaults among trusts during the summer, "but they will be idiosyncratic, not systemic".
Mr Blaauw explains the government has a difficult balancing act to manage the needs for economic reforms, slower credit growth and financial stability.
Financial stability is relatively straightforward to achieve, Mr Wiener points out. "They have the monetary policy and the fiscal levers and they are able to use them. And historically they have been proven to work."
Financial stability with continued credit growth and inadequate economic reform merely postpones the crisis, says Mr Blaauw. "At the moment, reform is a very gradual process; they are taking it step by step. But will it be fast enough to prevent some crisis in the future?"
"China's critics would have a point if nothing were to change over the next few years," says Mr Ehrmann, who is optimistic that reform is on its way. "True, making the necessary structural reforms will probably jar with vested interests, but key is whether the government of President Xi Jinping has the stomach to drive through these reforms. Signs are good, in our view."
Jupiter中国基金(Jupiter China Fund)的经理菲利普?埃尔曼(Philip Ehrmann)表示:"否认中国经济形势大好的人又出现了,他们向那些愿意聆听的人发出警告:中国由债务拉动的增长终将失败。"他认为这些担忧是没必要的。"中国新一届政府已明确表示,将展开切实改革,应对经济中越来越明显的(不管有意与否)过度现象。"
"在讨论中国经济时,总是会有看好和唱衰的人。这归根结底要看他们相不相信中国政府,"荷兰合作银行(Rabobank)高级国家风险分析师埃尔文?布洛(Erwin Blaauw)表示,"中国政府在一定程度上控制着经济的方方面面,这是中国迄今没有出现危机的原因。"
今年1月底就发生过这种事,中诚信托(China Credit Trust)险些酿成中国10年来规模最大的此类破产案。最终,投资者拿回了本金,因为该机构在春节前得到了纾困。这令外界担心,投资者将无法从中吸取关于违约风险的教训。
Generali Investments首席经济学家克劳斯?威纳(Klaus Wiener)的态度更为乐观。他预测,今年夏季将出现一些违约事件,"但它们都会属于个别情况,不会引发系统性反应。"

PHILADELPHIA, PA, July 1, 2014 – The West Philadelphia Alliance for Children (WePAC) has won an international competition that will enable them to open a new library during the next school year.
WePAC was selected as the top program for the 2014 LEAP (which stands for Literacy and Education in Action) Grant for Nonprofits. LEAP is a program sponsored by Better World Books — a leading online book retailer and social enterprise promoting global literacy. Over 70 applications were received from organizations throughout the world. WePAC was one of eight finalists selected and two winners were determined based on the number of "votes" received by friends of Better World Books on its Facebook page.
"We are very excited that new WePAC supporters teamed up with our longtime fans to vote every day and to win the competition; but opening a new library in our public schools is the biggest prize of all," Mica Navarro Lopez, WePAC Deputy Executive Director, said.
WePAC currently operates 12 public elementary school libraries for some 5,000 students, circulating thousands of books to children each week. For the LEAP program, WePAC leads an impressive list of organizations fueling children's literacy programs worldwide, including:
• Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan, Canada/Afghanistan
• Folk and Sprak, Papua New Guinea
• Tembo-Kenya, Kenya
Libraries awarded LEAP Grants for 2014 include the Larchmont Public Library, Larchmont, NY; Union Beach Memorial Library, Union Beach, NJ; Puertas del Saber Library, Tola, Nicaragua; Biblioteca Comunitaria, San Francisco de Macorís, Dominican Republic; and the St. Louis County Library, St. Louis, MO.

Ontologica is the product of a research project at Obx Labs, focusing on exploring text in virtual reality environments.
This library was inspired by Borges' Library of Babel, and the Library of Babel Website. It was made in Unreal Engine 4 in an effort to create a digital version of the library that allows the user to explore a quasi-infinite environment of randomly generated text.
This environment aims to position the user in a world where text is no longer a guaranteed container for meaning, but a structural element of reality. Through exploration of this universe, the user may come accross snippets of coherent phrases, rare instances of sensical data.
In terms of additions, Ontologica could be expanded to be a persistent, shared world. Players could highlight text, allowing others to explore areas of interest heavily marked by others, or entirely uncharted territories with no highlights whatsoever, creating a large-scale exploration game in a digital library of randomness.

You know, versus all the time travels in real life.
You know, versus all the time travels in real life.
A big day for trailers. We start with Logan, Hugh Jackson's final Wolverine movie. (Well, he's been making them for, what, 18 years now?) And just in case you didn't know—that little girl is VICIOUS.
Next, Into the Badlands, AMC's post-apocalyptic Western Wuxia series. Season 2 starts in March.
Last, Power Rangers. They're back, and they dragged Bryan Cranston into this (don't blink, or you'll miss his trailer cameo).
And, in movie news, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter debuts in eight days, and John Wick Chapter 2 debuts on February 10.
Just in time for X-Men: God I Hope We Didn't Kill The Franchise Again, comes these pics of the brave princesses of your favorite Disney flics, remade into many different Marvel mutant maidens.
The rest of the series is available in the snazzy gallery below, or you can check out the artist's other work At The Link!
In more Labyrinth news, a speculative movie poster from a sequel that never was.
It's part of an exhibit at the iam8bit gallery in Los Angeles, "Sequels", which imagines sequels that never happened, like The Last Starfighter: Xur's Revenge.
"Sequels" features 40-odd artists and their visions of movies that weren't ever made, but maybe should have been, like The Rocketeer 2: Crimson Skies.
Many of these movies were rumored (Labyrinth 2 as recently as 2014), one even announced (Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League, announced in the credits of the original), but most had never even been contemplated until now. For more examples of superb sequels that never got made, check out the gallery below or, if you want an actual movie poster of a fictional film to hang in your room, you can check out iam8bit's store At The Link!
Three terrible trailers for two (almost certainly) terrible films and a (more than likely) terrible miniseries.
We start of with… STAR TREK BEYOND.
The director of Fast and Furious? Well, it's not like you could TELL or anything.
Mind you, I do like many of the F&F franchise films. But that's not the sort of thing Star Trek is really about, you know?
Next up… I'm gonna let you guess this one from the trailer. (Probably, you won't.)
Yeah. It's THAT classic, timeless work of landmark Western Civilization literature. Looks like a music video or, well, the Fast and Furious movie, no?
Last one…
No Will Smith? WE RIOT NOW.
I don't get why they're worried, though. They just need to find another MacBook or maybe an iPad and they're GOLD.
And I feel… kinda maybe like going to see it. Probably. I mean, WTH, right? It's gotta be better than Incredible Hulk.
Now, seeing as they didn't really show Olivia Munn's Psylocke in the trailer, I'm gonna have to rectify the situation.
That'll do.
You knew this was coming. And it's awesome!
Honest Trailer: Ant-Man!
I like Ant-Man. I like it a lot. And if you don't, probably you're a terrible person who watches Showgirls and thinks it's great cinema.

I don't have any photos of our progress yet as we are still trying to sort everything behind the scenes to ensure that once we start building it all goes smoothly!
The premises hunt continues as the last chain collapsed leaving us stuck where we are at present. There is a fall back plan, but that will require some building alterations, which if we don't find suitable premises very soon, will have to start.
We anticipate that work on the chassis is very imminent and so hopefully we will have some photos to show you exactly what's happening.

Thinking out of the box: TC≠Temp Control
The year 2014-2015, vaping industry developed very rapidly, mountains of ecigarette related products push to market. Vapers struggle their minds to choose their best budget and cost-effective toys, from the early starter kits – mech mods- high watts box mods-TC mods.

What's taste control?
To answer this question, let's expound what's "temp control" firstly. Temp control, as the name suggest, using temperature to control the device working to prevent it from being dry hit. Thus provide dry hit prevention, that's the temp control finally achieved, as the technical limitations, common temp control mods in market just can achieve this for Ni, Ti, and some work for stainless steel.
Taste control, it's another method to clarify the temp control, we'd more like to call it – constant temperature taste control, for short called taste control. To control the constant temperature via the output power (Q=IUt=Pt), to reach the temperature limitation then temperature protection, and finally achieve the protection of the coils being burnt down effectively.
Until now, Ijoy applied this technology to IJOY ASOLO 200W mod and the newest coming IJOY SOLO MINI 75W mod. When using it, vapers can choose their own personal favorite taste/flavor setting the device, it's FIRST and ONLY method to achieve the Kanthal dry hit regulation in market so far. United states famous reviewer test the ASOLO 200W mod in his channel before, and give this unique "taste control" a big thumb up. Here is the video,
"Health, Fashion, Innovation, Quality", Ijoy following these tips, and always stand by customers' side. Let's stay tuned for the newest coming IJOY SOLO MINI 75W TC mod, fresh your throat.

Wind has caused chaos on the rail network today.
A Darlington East Coast Train was delayed for over three hours in the north of England due to another service being stranded near York for five and a half hours.
Michael Stowe a passenger on a delayed three and a half hour service to Darlington told Breaking News he was stranded on a cold train for three and a half hours with no sign of movement.
He confirmed all the passengers were cold but in good sprits thanks to Staff at East Coast, who provided customers with a blanket to keep warm.
The service reached Darlington at 2.30am after a three and a half hour delay.
Michael added that East Coast did 'marvellous in a crappy situ'.

text: Nutella Navigator 187 Posted January 11 (edited) For us pokemon collectors, trying to complete the obtainable dex. It would be great if there was a "dex badge" or something you'd call it like that pertaining to getting a badge on your profile as soon as you complete an obtainable dex in a certain region. Because it would be more rewarding for us collectors to see where our hard work trading and training uniques just to complete the dex. So the idea would be, for example I had completed the Johto Obtainable Dex, I should get "Johto Obtainable Dex Completed" badge just under my achievements in my profile, or when you click 'Achievements' in another one's profile on the members tab. So on and so forth with the other regions; Indigo/Orange/Hoenn/Sinnoh/Unova/Kalos/Alola Obtainable Dex Completed. I think that would be great, and hoping in advance you'd consider this idea, Pat. Thanks! Edited January 11 by Nutella Navigator Added an image, corrected grammar lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Incredible CastingPosted: July 13, 2010 Filed under: Commentary, Event Fashion | Tags: helen mirren, the avengers Leave a comment
There's been a lot of speculation about who should take on the role of Bruce Banner/The Hulk for The Avengers now that Edward Norton is out. It is no secret that I don't like The Incredible Hulk. "Hulk Smash" stuff bores me to tears and the tragedy side gets tired — especially when Bruce Banner is seen as one of the smartest people in the Marvel Universe and he can't solve the ONE problem he has been working on for as long as we have known him. I like Edward Norton, I thought he did a good job with a character I really have to force myself to care about. I've been thinking on it, is there ANYONE who I would be excited to watch as Bruce Banner? Joshua Jackson or Leonardo DiCaprio? Not really, either'd be miscast. Sam Rockwell? Maybe, but they wouldn't recast him. Well. Probably. Anyway, the answer is probably not. So, I will put forth the most ridiculous and yet brilliant suggestion:
Look, if anyone in Hollywood can make Bruce Banner my most favourite character, it's Helen Mirren. The woman is magic (speaking of, this is from The Sorcerer's Apprentice premier which I am choosing to take as suggestion she'll be back for National Treasure 3) (and, hey, she's almost wearing Diana's new jacket). I would be first in line to watch Helen Hulk out.
I suppose I can settle for this. I cannot properly describe my reaction to the preview for this movie. Helen Mirren and a machine gun. I mean seriously, the whole rest of it (cast includes Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich and Bruce Willis and it's based on a Warren Ellis comic) was like 'Whatever.'
Helen Mirren. Best Hulk ever.

If you have dark circles under your eyes, you might assume that you're not getting enough sleep. Puffiness and discoloration can be caused by a lack of rest, but allergies and thin eye skin can spur dark circles, too. Prescription-strength eye creams and dermatologist treatments lighten circles and fade discolored spots fast, but they're often pricey and inconvenient. Instead, head to the nearest drugstore and pick up an over-the-counter remedy. You'll pay much less for comparable results.
CC Cream
Color correcting creams are widely available at drugstores. Look for a CC cream that says "minimizes dark circles" or "eye brightening" on the label. These versatile creams use iron oxide or titanium oxide to conceal under-eye circles. Some creams contain aloe, cucumber extract and B vitamins to help ease puffiness. They hydrate your face and temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines and uneven skin texture. Some CC creams come with a built-in brush for easy application. Expect to pay less than $20 for a CC cream at drugstores.
Retinol and Brighteners
If you have thin skin under your eyes, blood vessels can show through. This is usually hereditary, so your dark circles may never seem to go away. To fix the issue, apply an over-the-counter retinol cream to skin every night. Retinol helps build collagen, which thickens skin over time. If you need something tougher, ask a dermatologist about prescription-strength retinoid creams. To correct discoloration on the skin's surface, use a bleaching cream that contains daisy extract, licorice or other natural brighteners. Creams containing 2-percent hydroquinone will fade dark patches under eyes and elsewhere on your face.
Antihistamine, Sunscreen and Other Treatments
If you suffer from allergies, take an over-the-counter antihistamine to ease inflammation, which can cause dark eye circles. Sun exposure makes eye circles look darker. Shield your delicate under-eye skin with sunblock whenever you're headed outside. If your under-eye skin tends to get puffy in the morning, treat the area with a caffeine-based cream at night. After you've applied the cream, put a piece of medical paper tape under each eye to keep blood from pooling there. Products that contain grape seed oil or green tea may strengthen capillary walls. Arnica-based creams help fight inflammation. Look for arnica cream at a health-food store's drug or beauty department.
Cover Up With Makeup
Dark-circle correctors may take a few days or longer to work. In the meantime, hide the discoloration with cosmetics. An apricot- or peach-colored concealer helps conceal bluish circles. Combine a few drops of liquid concealer with a pinch of loose powder and then dab it under your eyes gently. If you have under-eye bags, use a concealer pen to trace a line just below the puffiness. Putting concealer directly on bags will make them more noticeable. Dark eye shadow can draw attention to circles, too. Instead, stick with a coat or two of volumizing mascara.

On our tourist day in Marrakech we only got to see two 'real' places because we had to switch Riads in the morning. The pace of life in Marrakech (probably all of Morocco) is different, everything happens at a slower pace. So, leaving Riad Dar Zaman took about an hour because we chatted with the owner, a great Englishman Randy knew through a friend, and then finding Riad Altair and establishing ourselves there took another hour and a half. You have to fill out the paperwork, then drink the mint tea, then get a tour of the Riad, and then you can finally go to your room and get ready to head out for what's left of the day. While I'm not the typical impatient New Yorker (I think…), these rituals still take some getting used to.
Even when we were finally on our way it took about an hour to find our first destination because we got lost in the maze of the medina and had to interpret the typical misdirection of the locals on our way to the Bahia Palace. The national monuments are only open until five pm, so we were worried about having enough time. We finally found the palace around 1:30, after teaming up with a Dutch couple who were also lost. After the hefty entrance fee of $1.25 (10 Dirham, if only all museums cost this much!), we explored the rooms. Probably less than one fourth of the palace (there are 125 rooms) has been fixed up and is open to visitors, but what you get to see is beautifully ornate.
Some of the cat gangs get to hang out in the palace. They must be the leaders.
Even though it's about 100 degrees Fahrenheit during the hottest part of the day many of the rooms had beautifully tiled fireplaces. You get to experience how the clever construction has created an environment with nice cool temperatures and breezes that move through the rooms. Thick walls and few windows are the trick.
There were a few nice courtyards, each equipped with graceful fountains and nice vegetation.
All the detailing is amazing. The amount of work that goes into a palace like this is incredible. It took 10 years to complete.
The other goal for the day was to find the Saadian Tombs. After a delish shwarma lunch ('fast' food, cheap prices, my kind of place) we managed to get to the tombs without getting super lost. It was a miracle. I think it was because it's not in a maze-y part of the medina, and because we got directions from the shwarma lady, and we also asked some other tourists who spoke French and could help with directions. Keep in mind, we had 2 maps, they are just impossible to read. We got there at 4, with just enough time to make it through the open areas.
There are a few Sultans that are buried in the giant tombs. These have super high ceilings, and beautiful tiling, ceilings, and pillars. Bigger stones are for adults, smaller ones are for children.
You also see tombs outside, which, we think, are attributed to people who died of the black plague. Not sure if we messed up that translation though.
These tombs had been 'lost' for a few centuries, so they're still fixing up some of the structures. Not much is open to the public, but what's there is so ornate that it is totally worth the US$1.25 (10MAD) fee. So that's the history we saw.
We managed to catch a little culture later that afternoon by accident. We were walking around and I saw what appeared to be a giant camel. Turns out it was a parade float! There were lots of Berber tribes and people in costumes dancing and playing music. So glad we were in the right place at the right time!
I'm really regretting not having more time in Morocco. I wish we had 2 weeks, 2 months, 2 years! Anyway, we ended up taking a trip outside the city the next day to the Ourika Valley. It was really interesting, but not an ideal excursion. I'll write about that next.

20 Successful Tips
for Creating a Powerful Web Site
11. The Domain Name Game- Spend the money to register your own domain name. To do otherwise is like answering the phone in your office by another business's name. Identify your business by registering your own domain name.
12. Only One Choice of Purchasing- If your web page offers products or services, always offer secure credit card ordering using more than one method to purchase. If your visitor finds only one way to purchase, there's a 50% chance he/she will leave without clicking further. Supplying this option makes your visitor feel comfortable and most importantly secure when performing money transactions.
13. Old News, No Changes- It is amazing how many web sites do not update their information regularly. Why should a customer return to your page to find no change or an update has been made? Smart designers provide content areas that visitors know will be updated regularly for news and information. Some designers place rotating content code so when the page is re-loaded there will be new content displayed keeping regular customers coming back.
14. Being Unavailable- Many web pages forget to include something as simple as contact information. Visitors should always be able to easily find the same information that would be on your business card for following up with you. Contact forms work the best along with contact name, mailing address and phone numbers. This will also gain the visitors trust in your site.
15. Ignoring Marketing Opportunities- Not offering a free email newsletter with news and updates is a huge mistake. Putting a simple subscription form on your pages can build a database of prospective business clients and contacts. This allows you to build a relationship with your subscribers and include specials or latest product or service information.
16. Not Doing Research- Before you design your pages you should research your prospective clients. Know their needs, wants and what would attract them to your page over and over again. If you have a page dedicated to automobiles, offer links to other sites, videos and profiles of various automobile classics, editorial featuring the larger or more sophisticated models etc.. Offer links to anyone you partner with, updates on the latest trends and news, magazines, content from relevant associations.
17. Spelling and Grammar mistakes- Presentation is the key. And, nothing is more unprofessional than finding a page with these errors.
18. Incorrect Information- This is why there are so many disclaimers found on the web. It is higly recommended not to publish information on your site that is not positive. Doing so could result in creating a lack of trust from visitors or a lawsuit from a company or person that feels maligned.
19. Technical Difficulties- Make sure every link you design actually takes you where it says it will. Also ensure that all of your navigation links and buttons work correctly. Visitors can become lost and frustrated with a web page that doesn't keep it's promises.
20. Being Too Creative- There is a fine line between creativity and chaos. Personal web page design can incorporate the fun to the funky colors, graphics and special images. However, businesses must remember that perception is everything. Graphics should be appropriate and in moderation. Stick to no more than three colors; your best bet is those identified with your business.
Following these tips, your web pages will be informative, professional and well organized. Not only will you and your business have a web presence in the marketplace, you will be represented in a manner that will attract and retain your target audience.

About Chevrolet Impala
Originally projected to last five seasons (with the pilot episode appearing in the country in September 2005), the Winchester family history has reached its 11th year with more than 200 episodes. With the motto "saving people, hunting things, the family business", the brothers cross the country in the hunt for the supernatural creatures in the company of "Baby". Who is Baby? It is a 1967 Chevrolet Impala invoked, which is practically the third hero of the series. It has a fundamental participation in the original plot, completed in the fifth season,Adventures on the road Throughout the series, the Impala not only fits in with the Winchester's personality and soundtrack (often played directly on the car's cassette player), but it's also a crucial part in the story's unfolding. The trajectory of the brothers Sam and Dean – who after losing their mother in a supernatural way started, alongside their father, a journey hunting monsters and preventing the Apocalypse – is full of horror stories, urban legends and mythology, in an atmosphere that mixes thriller, drama, rock and roll and adventures on the road. In addition, the best Supernatural dialogs take place in the Impala booth. No wonder, after 2005, the model is often a No wonder, after 2005, the model is often associated with the series. The car was not randomly chosen and only takes on the role of transportation: Impala 67 transcends time with the characters, saving people, hunting things and continuing the Winchester family business.
Automobile is also eh culture and, therefore, it fits here a bit of history.The decade that followed, from 1945 to 1955, witnessed the emergence of the American way of life, the American way of living, with the rise of the United States to the world's largest industrial, commercial, and economic power. The distribution of wealth promoted a huge transformation of the habits of the population that had the resources to buy everything that the industry madly came to invent and produce, washing machines, crazy machines domestic television and radio and … cars. Great, spenders, more and more sophisticated in comfort and convenience. Impala appeared in 1958 on the crest of this wave, the largest and most powerful of the models produced by General Motors Chevrolet brand , already displaying the long and showy tails that, seen in the Cadillac dodge viper coupe 2 door car cover, ended up receiving in Brazil the pompous nickname of fish tails. Size, luxury and comfort gave the Impala the absolute top condition, level still above the Bel Air line , Bel Air Impala. Weighing tons and incorporating mechanical technologies consuming horses – automatic transmissions , electric windows, hoods convertibles, antennae of radio receivers, etc. – motorizations would have to be portentous. The one that was born along with the Impala was V-8, of 348 cubic inches , 5.7 liters of volume and provided 315 hp. The title Impala, inspired by an African antelope, alternated high and low phases, going back and forth to the flavor of the market's temperament. It was produced from 1958 to 1985, from 1994 to 1996 and from 1999 until today. Figured in the catalog of the current Chevrolet with its majesty something overshadowed by the time but touched by a V6 of only, alone! 305 horses. And at the price of 37 thousand dollars, about 110 thousand reais.

The official launch of the Impala would only take place in 1957, already as a 1958 model. It was a special version of the Bel Air, superior in the hierarchy to the Biscayne and the basic model Del Rey. It was available in the convertible and hardtop versions. with the shape of a convertible) and anticipated the 1960s style, being longer, shorter, wider and heavier than the 1957 Chevrolet. The wheelbase grew by 64 mm, the length by 229 mm and it was 91 kg heavier. To move all this mass, a larger engine was available, with 348 cubic inches (diameter of 104.77 mm and stroke of 82.55 mm, 5,693 cm³), the Turbo-Thrust. Developed for the utilities of Chevrolet, it featured 250 horsepower gross in the basic version and 280 in the Super Turbo-Thrust with three double body carburetors. With plenty of torque at low revs, it was perfect for the Turboglide two-speed automatic transmission, first offered in 1957 replacing the traditional Powerglide for some time. Whether it was the relaxed convertible or the coupe, with its distinctive lanterns,
the Impala had qualities to captivate Americans, including the price of 283-pound Turbo-Fire (98.4 x 76.2 mm, 4.636 cm³) and mechanical injection Rochester continued to be offered. The basic versions came with the six-cylinder inline Blue Flame, the same as the first Corvette, with 235 pol3 (90,42 x 97,48 mm, 3,838 cm³). This should not be confused with the 3,768 cm³ (98.42 x 82.55 mm) 230 of our first Opalas, which was already a new engine, with crankshaft resting on seven bearings instead of four. The Impala's formula was simple: style signed by the duo Harley Earl / Bill Mitchell, performance worthy of a sports car and amenities not found in the competition, all for the traditional low price of Chevrolets. The style was far superior to the one of the Fords of the same year, but still lost in harmony for the Chryslers, whose famous Plymouth Fury was until main star of horror film of John Carpenter. Several engine options catered to varying tastes, from the six-cylinder from 3.85 liters to the 5.7-liter V8, with up to 280 hp gross power The Impala featured two pairs of headlights, wraparound grille and bumper, reminiscent of the Cadillacs of previous years, a Harley Earl heritage that eventually gave the car the nickname "baby Cadillac". It had a shorter roof than Bel Air's, making it more sporty and slender, with a larger, more definite third volume. The six taillights began a tradition, which would only be broken by the 1959 model, and differentiated it from the lower versions, which had only four.
To reduce its height compared to the 1957 model, GM abandoned the chassis with parallel longitudinal struts and adopted a new, more rigid "X" layout that would make the lowriders and their hydraulic pumps later joyful … The rear suspension it went to helical springs instead of the semi-elliptical springs, in addition to the longitudinal levers and Panhard bar, essential for this type of spring. A problematic air suspension was optional, but it was the same system as the 1957 Cadillacs, then abandoned for bringing more inconvenience than benefits. Despite so many virtues, the Impala was not an immediate success. The economy was in a recession and consumers were cautious, prioritizing fuel economy performance, in a year in which only American Motors (Hudson and Nash merger) saw sales increase. But the car brought good expectations, causing Chevrolet to regain sales leadership lost to Ford almost 25 years ago. In 1959, a restyling made it even more far-fetched, with air intakes in the front and the "aircraft carrier deck" in the rear fenders The year 1959 would bring a little more personality to the Impala: it ceased to be a variation of Bel Air to become its own finish, replacing Bel Air at the top of the line. The denomination could be chosen in sedans, coupes, vans and convertibles.
The style was even more elaborate, with large air intakes above the grille and headlights and a waistline that was divided into two parts. The lower one formed the taillights, and the upper one, one of the most original designs ever seen: the rear "seagull wing", which some preferred to call flat-top deck, aircraft carrier deck. By 1960 the style was already simpler and cleaner with fewer chrome and trim. It was the best selling car in the US The 1960s In 1960, the Impala was already the best-selling automobile in the United States. Harley Earl had passed on the position of head of style to Bill Mitchell, who, like all designers at the time, was casting aside the exaggerated appendages of the 1950s to adhere to a cleaner, chrome-less style still inspired by the space age . It was a clear evolution on the 1959 model, from which it inherited only the roof in all versions. In the following model year there was no longer any hint of wing in the design of the rear. Most Americans followed NASCAR, increasingly popular and exciting, with big cars competing as gladiators at medium speeds well over 200 km / h on huge oval circuits. A great marketing strategy, soon used by Chevrolet: the Impala SS (Super Sport) was born, the first of the "SS dynasty", to this day.

Linux administration activities are similar to any Unix system.
The important components are hardware device administration, files system, users administration, programs packs administration, services administration, system security ensuring and automation tasks.
Most of system administrator interactions with Linux operating system will be done through the command line interface (shell) and text configuration files.
The components of a GNU / Linux / Distributions
An GNU/Linux operating system consists of core (kernel), Linux and applications running over it.
One of the most significant application is the command interpreter (the shell). On most of Linux distributions the shell is Bash.
The shell acts as an intermediary between user and core. The shell transforms users command in to process which is using the core to complete a task.
Other basic applications are the editor(vim, emacs), compilers, libraries. Generally graphic applications are missing from a server system realizing interaction almost exclusively via command line.
Unlike other operating systems kernel and application development is performed differently.
The aggregation of these components is made by a GNU/Linux distribution. There are hundreds of Linux distributions, among the most popular we mention Ubuntu Fedora/RedHat, SuSE, Debian, Gento, Slackware etc.
Some of the distributions are similar such as Debian-based :
Debian, Ubuntu, MEPIS, Damn Small Linux, Xandros, Linspire. These distributions use software packages provided by Debian and APT system.
Temporary Network configuration
Linux provides two utilities to configure network interfaces. This configuration is lost after reboot.
The first of these is called ifconfig. Present on all Unix platforms, this tool enables the IP address, a network mask and broadcast address.
The ifconfig command can be used both to inspect the current network configuration, the operating parameters: MTU, number of packs sent, number of packs received.
For each physical network interface can be defined more logical interfaces known as subinterface.
Logically, each subinterface of a router is a distinct interface. For this reason, two subinterfaces can not have the same IP subnetwork.
All network parameters restarts when the interface stops, interface that can be made for a specific interface or network service restart. This results leads to resetting all network interfaces.
Temporary network configurations will be lost if the interface deactivated. In a subinterface case, deactivation is equivalent to removing.Starting from kernel version 2.2, came a package of utilities for handling network configuration known as iproute.
# ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:2D:32:5E:3B:3C inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:977839669 errors:0 dropped:1990 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1116825094 errors:8 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1594112309 (1.5 GiB) TX bytes:1535889321 (1.8 GiB) Interrupt:185 Base address:0xdc00
Display Details of All interfaces Including Disabled Interfaces
# ifconfig -a
Shutdown an Interface
# ifconfig eth0 down
Enable an Interface
# ifconfig eth0 up
Assign 192.168.1.1 as the IP address for the interface eth0.
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1
Change Subnet mask of the interface eth0.
# ifconfig eth0 netmask 255.255.255.0
Change Broadcast address of the interface eth0.
# ifconfig eth0 broadcast 192.168.1.255
Assign ip-address, netmask and broadcast at the same time to interface eht0.
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255
Now the second version (iproute2) is a strong alternative allowing very sophisticated settings. To configure the network parameters is used ip addr utility which is part of the package iproute .
To configure an interface is necessary to specify the IP address, the network area code and the broadcast address.
To define configurations for subinterfaces label option is used. For compatibility reasons, it is recommended that names to start with the interface name labels. So, for eth0 label shall be valid: eth00, eth0.0, eth 0: 0, eth 0.
Since ifconfig sees the labels as a virtual interface, it can run only with the interface: number type. To enable or disable an interface or deleting logical configurations associated with a subinterface is used other utility of the iproute2 : ip link package .
Ip link tool can be useful to change the data link level parameters (MAC, MTU, etc) and to display these parameters.
Besides handling functions defining routing table and tunnels, iproute2 provides support for traffic policy.
Permanent configuration
To set up a permanent network parameters is used /etc/ network/interfaces
This file is specific to Debian (its location in other distributions may be different) and contains information necessary to configure network interfaces.
Programs using this file shall be ifup and ifdown and shall be run from /etc/init.d/networking, script responsible for the network configuration in the boot of the operating system. To define static parameters of network administrator can specify IP address, subnet mask, default gateway address, name server addresses, or some of these parameters. Can also be specified other actions to be performed when the interface is started, that stopped.

Joe Wengert breaks down the challenges and rewards of a comedy career
You won't hear Joe Wengert and I complaining about our jobs.
Wengert, a stand-up comic whose Comedy Central Half-Hour is one of the funniest things I've seen all year, grew up helping his dad in construction and landscaping before building a show business career. I worked on my grandparents' farm and had several construction jobs before diving headfirst into sports writing and interviewing comedians.
Neither of us longs for those bygone days and I'm of the opinion that the hard labor in our pasts helps us appreciate the relative ease of our current occupations. Writing jokes, and writing about people who write jokes, beats lawn work and digging potatoes.
Now that I've released that breaking news, let's get to my interview with Wengert, who has worked with two of my all-time favorite comedic minds — Nick Kroll and Scott Aukerman — on two of the best comedy shows — "Kroll Show" and "Comedy Bang! Bang!" Wengert and I talked about what it's like inside, and sometimes outside, the writers' room on those programs, how inviting people to his place to watch his half-hour turned out to be the right choice and much more.
Enjoy the interview, visit Wengert's website, follow him on Twitter and don't forget The Best Tweet I Can Find In Five Minutes at the end.
TC: I've been playing the "You're wrapped" game and my life is better for it. Just wanted to thank you for that.
JW: That's great. You're welcome.
TC: I work in a newsroom and overly chatty co-workers get wrapped on an almost daily basis.
JW: Everybody has those people all day long and I think it's a little bit of a release to just imagine you having that power to make people go away.
TC: Did you watch your half-hour the night it aired?
JW: I did. I was torn on whether I was going to do that. I don't love watching myself do anything. I was just going to not do anything and then I was going to watch it with my girlfriend and she was like, "Why don't you invite friends over to your apartment?"
I had probably like a dozen people over and it felt weird. I invited people over at 10 o'clock. I'm in my mid-30s now and I'm usually trying to leave a party by 10:30. (interviewer laughs, and agrees) All my friends were over here and I watched them look tired for 2½ hours and then I'm like, "OK everybody, be quiet now and listen to me talk," which was very weird.
In retrospect, I'm really glad I did it and I have a great group of friends out in L.A. Some of them are people I started doing comedy with. To have them all around for something like that definitely gave me a little bit of a feel of being a narcissist. That's probably unavoidable.
TC: You've got an extensive background in improv, writing and stand-up. Does one bring more joy than the others when it's going well?
JW: I find it hard to compare them in that way. They all have their challenges and they all have their rewards when it goes well.
I did largely improv and sketch before I did stand-up and the immediacy of stand-up is what attracted me to it. A sketch, you have to block it and you have props and you have to worry about all of that shit. You can still make a funny point, but it can be a tough thing for you to do on stage and have it provide that instant gratification.
When an improv show goes really well, it's a really great feeling, but it's also frustrating in a way because it's never going to happen like that again. Even to describe a good improv scene or a good show to someone afterwards sounds completely stupid. It's just impossible to explain why it was good in the moment.
With stand-up, in the beginning I found it very novel to go, "Oh wow, that worked and I can do that again and it should have the same effect." That aspect of it was really nice.
TC: Is working on "Kroll Show" and "Comedy Bang! Bang!" as fun as it sounds?
JW: With those two examples, yes. For sure. I think it's mostly because they are shows that are created by and are filled with friends of mine. It comes from the top down. Scott is having a lot of fun doing exactly the show that he wants to do and I think that trickles down to the staff writers.
Nick is the same way. On "Kroll Show" one of the producers and kind of our head writer, John Levenstein, who's worked on "Arrested Development" and a bunch of great things, right from the start he didn't want the writers' room to feel like a prison. He's very flexible in terms of rules. I'm always careful on how to word this because I don't want it to seem like he's being too lackadaisical about things.
Here's what sums it up. He's like, "If you want to go for a walk and walk around and do bits, that is just as likely, if not more likely, to lead to a great sketch or a great character than if we sit in a room and put cards on a board and do it in a more sterile way." Most of the work days when we're in the writing phase at Kroll, usually the first couple hours is just everybody sitting around bullshitting, talking about videos they've seen or movies or TV shows they've seen and then, like, complaining about stuff that's bothering you. (Wengert, interviewer laugh) Then we look at angles for which one of Nick's characters we can use to exploit that or what could be a new character and that sort of stuff. I think that's fun. That's kind of what I do when I'm not working.
There are times where it does feel more like work when you've got to plow through a re-write or come up with something in the moment on set, but even then, whenever I get frustrated, I try to remind myself that my job is to write jokes for Bobby Bottleservice. (interviewer laughs)
TC: That is a great perspective.
JW: My dad would take me to work with him when I was 14, 15 years old and he works for a variety of construction and landscaping companies. He was the foreman for a topsoil company and I would have to do hard labor all day so I always think about what he's doing for a job compared to what I'm doing for a job and that stops any of my inner complaints.

Yes I am a woman,
Married and with children.
And you say you are attracted to me-
Well I doubt what's there to attract?
I am age over to be attracted.
My beauty fades every day with my chores,
My eyes just the reflection of wavering moods-
They might sparkle and next second fill tears!
But every day you say I attract you,
And surely I assume,
It's just physical.
You seek just the bodily pleasure!
I wouldn't much think on my assumption,
I know I am right.
Because I am a Woman and that makes,
Me understand you are a Man.
A man with unbridled emotions and passions,
A handsome man every woman shall fall for.
I am too old to rise if I fall-
I have fallen more than any woman might have!
It's a waste of time of yours,
To play with the attraction word!
Because I am an intricate woman,
Who can read the mind of a lascivious man!
Magnificent feelings on Lust Short Poems on Man Long Woman Poems
Have something to say about the poem?

Since Ash Wednesday, the Middle School has been collecting travel size personal hygiene items for Blessing Bags to be distributed to the homeless. On Tuesday, May 28th, student volunteers spent their afternoon counting, sorting and stuffing bags with all the items that were collected. Thank you families for your generous donations. We were able to put together 128 Blessing Bags and even had some left over supplies to send to a shelter.
First and Second Graders kicked off summer vacation with an amazing musical production. This special show was choreographed and produced by our very own Mrs. Karel. Students learned about whales, jellyfish, sharks, lobsters, octopus, and sea turtles. It was oceans of fun!
Congratulations to MaryAlice Young (SJCS '16) who participated last week in the International Science and Engineering Fair in Phoenix, AZ. MaryAlice's project was entitled: "Using a Computer Program Applied to an Electromagnetic Walking Apparatus to Simulate Earth's Gravity in Space."
Each year approximately 1,800 high school students from more than 75 countries, regions, and territories are awarded the opportunity to showcase their independent research and compete for on average $5 million in prizes at Intel ISEF. The competition focuses on identifying, inspiring, and engaging the world's next STEM generation.
MaryAlice placed 4th in her category of Robotics and Intelligent Machines winning $500. She also won a full scholarship to Florida Institute of Technology and was awarded 1st Place and $3000 from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
-Reprinted from Bishop Kenny High School Facebook
Second graders experienced a beautiful week in their spiritual lives. Our Communion Retreat was Friday. We closed the day with a lovely prayer service in the convent chapel. Saturday morning, we received the Body and Blood of Christ at First Eucharist. We honored our Most Gracious Mother, Mary, with roses at the May Crowning. Our hearts are overflowing with the faith and love we felt around us.

The Republican Party of Iowa Lincoln Dinner is a fundraiser
event for the Republican Party of Iowa and was especially important this year,
as it provided the nation with an opportunity to take a snapshot look at
current and potential candidates running for the Presidency. The event was a sellout and speakers
included Donald Trump, Carly Fiorina, Rick Santorum, Ben Carson, Bobby Jindal, Jeb Bush, Rick Perry, Rand Paul, George
Pataki, Lindsey Graham, Scott Walker. The dinner was May 16, 2015, in the Grand Ballroom of the Iowa Events
Center in Des Moines, Iowa.
Markey's provided the professional stage lighting needed for
the national media and press who were in attendance, and major news networks
were broadcasting live from the event. High Definition cameras and projectors
were used for IMAG and video recording. For the stage design, Markey's provided
a 40'x 20' shark tooth scrim with 10 Martin Stagebar lights to provide a simple
yet striking blue light backdrop against the six Iowa and USA flags lined up
behind the podium.
An additional service provided by Markey's was to
incorporate a D'San Digital Speaker timer system and Operator to ensure that no
candidate exceeded the strict 10 minute time slot they were allowed. At the client's request, the microphone was
to be cut if anyone went over and exit music played through the PA.

500th Anniversary of Reformation
On Sunday, October 29 we celebrate 500 years of the Protestant Reformation. Our Worship will be filled with good music, famous hymns and more. It is a great way to mark and remember the events that have had so much impact in our lives. What impact has the Reformation had in our lives? Glad you asked! These daily experiences are directly a result of Martin Luther's work and the events of the Reformation:
- That we have the scriptures in English and hundreds of other languages that people speak every day is a direct result of Luther's work. Luther was the first to translate the Bible in to modern common language so that every person who could read would be able to read the Bible in his or her own daily language. We now take this for granted but we could not turn to read the scriptures without this reform.
- That we are encouraged to read and discover what the scriptures say for ourselves is a freedom that comes to us through the Reformation. Before then, the common folk were told what the scripture said and this authority was greatly abused.
- That our Pastors and Clergy marry and have families allows for great awareness of the circumstance and need for the Word of God to be a Living Word in our lives and heard in our family lives.
- The power and authority of the church is now clearly seen to be subject to the truth and witness of the Scripture. Before the Reformation, the church, its leaders and pastors had and took authority for their own selfish purposes. Even today, having safe and just practices in our congregations is an important practice for us all to observe.
- That music is a central feature of our worship was a direct practice that came through the Reformation.
- That the church of every age must strive to preach the Word of God and the Gospel of Christ, free from all religious, governmental and selfish concerns that would limit, pervert or silence the voice the Living Word of God among us.
These are just a few notable rights and responsibilities we freely enjoy every day because of Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation. It is vital to know our history and appreciate the gains that have been made so that we do not lose sight of nor have these freedoms taken from us.
Pastor Mitch
Good Samaritan Lutheran Church
ELCA National Youth Gathering June 27- July 1, 2018
Every three years, 30,000 high school youth and their adult leaders from across the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America gather for a week of faith formation known as the ELCA Youth Gathering. Through days spent in interactive learning, worship, Bible study, service and fellowship, young people grow in faith and are challenged and inspired to live their faith in their daily lives. Houston is the host city for this event and early bird registration began Sept. 15.
All those in 8th—12th grade are invited to attend! Permission slips and information are available in the Fellowship Hall on the youth board. Our first non-refundable deposit is due by Oct. 8 for $200. Please make checks payable to Good Samaritan Lutheran Church and write in MEMO – 'Youth Gathering.' Please let Corinne M. know when you have paid.
Cost for the Gathering event is $350 plus expenses which are estimated as follows: $300 (lodging), $380 (airfare), plus food while at the Gathering and miscellaneous costs. The total is estimated at $900-$1100 per participant before fundraising. We know this is a lot of money, so we'll be doing some fundraising to work on lowering that cost per participant.
- Share a talent, or serve tacos at our Taco and Talent Night (date TBA)
- Help with our Dinner Theater show in February/March (date TBA)
- Assist with casserole making and selling throughout winter months
- And/or, come up with a great fundraiser of your own and have the rest of us join you.
Stewardship Theme for 2017-18 is Announced
As we journey in faith and with our neighbors, we look for opportunities to encourage each other in steps that help us discover meaningful expressions of faith and vibrant life within us. At Good Sam we always hope to walk along side each other as we talk and learn about faith and life together.
This year our theme is "Giving and Growing in Mission." Here are some activities and events to watch for:
- Announcement of Consecration Sunday and invitation to attend our Celebration Meal on October 22nd.
- A chance to think about your journey of faith and where God has been in it along the way. Faith Journey Review (print from .PDF format);
Click Faith Journey Review to take the Review online (in Google Forms format).
- Make a commitment to yourself and a pledge to invest in ministry, growth and mission in the coming year.
- Eight stewardship moments during announcement time in Worship leading up to Consecration Sunday.
Consecration Sunday is October 22nd this year. We hope you will join us in Worship at 9 A.M. for this shared effort to think about our faith lives and invest in growing in faith and mission in the coming year. Also that morning we will celebrate our combined efforts during a brunch immediately following worship (about 10 A.M.) and simply enjoy each others company. It will be a blessing to hear the results of our combined efforts and commitment to give and grow in mission in the coming year.
Giving to Shared Activities. What we do here has impact. It shapes our lives. It overflows into the lives of people we touch and see. It come through congregational activities and ministries that touch lives and it overflows into the lives of others where our synod and denominational ministries have impact. Below is a video of one such impact.

Pizzelles are a big thing around our house. My husband has some fairly strong Sicilian roots, and he takes his Italian desserts seriously. One of his favorites? Star Anise Pizzelles. We don't eat them often because 1) we rarely eat wheat and 2) we eat them ALL in one day because we have no "off" switch with these tasty discs.
I made gluten-free pizelles earlier this week, (my husband and son ate them all in less than an hour), and formed miniature waffle cones. Then I asked you to help me fill them. You came up with some amazing suggestions. Here's a sample of some of the suggestions:
- Sweet Ricotta Cream
- Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding
- Nutella Mousse/Nutella Marshmallow Creme/Nutella Anything
- Tuna Poke with Avocado
- Pulled Pork
- Marmite
- Whipped Cauliflour and "Fried" Chicken
- Ben and Jerry's new Jimmy Fallon Ice Cream (I love Jimmy.)
But the suggestion that hit home for me was Cashew Ice Cream. Here's why: I wanted to make a homemade version and have been experimenting with fast paleo recipes that don't require a chemistry lesson from Mr. White or a trillion special ingredients.
Because ice cream should be easy and simple and thoroughly satisfying. And if we can make it healthy-ish, even better.
My favorite Sicilian gave me two thumbs up, which is hard to do. He loves ice cream. He loves pizzelles. Healthy ice cream in a quinoa pizzelle? He's in foodie love.
So, here it is. (Oh, and I named it after the reader who inspired me! Thanks, Terri.)
Stephen's Cashew Banana Ice Cream – Serves 1
- 1 ripe banana, diced and then frozen solid
- 1 Tbsp (heaping) cashew butter
- 1/2 tsp grade B maple syrup (optional)
- dash of vanilla extract (seriously, a few drops will do)
- a pinch of cardamom or 3 drops cardamom bitters
This takes some serious power so I suggest using a NutriBullet (what I use) or a BlendTec or Vitamix type of blender. The banana is very solid and it could damage your less-powerful blenders.
