Sam Hornish Jr., David Ragan working to line up rides for 2016
With just seven races left in the 2015 Sprint Cup season, Sam Hornish Jr. and David Ragan find themselves in similar predicaments: Looking to secure rides for 2016.
Hornish, who took over Richard Petty Motorsports' No. 9 Ford this season after spending the past three years in the XFINITY Series, needs additional sponsorship to be back in the car next year.
Ragan, who has been in Michael Waltrip's No. 55 Toyota since mid-May, is without a ride because MWR is closing its doors at season's end.
With few, if any, full-time Sprint Cup Series rides available for 2016, both Hornish and Ragan have limited options and, at least theoretically, limited time to get deals in place.
Both, however, remain optimistic that they will be racing — although maybe not in NASCAR's top series — next season.
"Some teams have reached out to me. I've reached out to a few teams. Ultimately I don't have anything in the works or coming together right now," Ragan told FOXSports.com on Saturday at Charlotte Motor Speedway. "I'm trying to be as patient as I can just to see what happens. A lot of times things change that are unexpected with some of these top teams in the last months of the season. We've had guys get fired after Homestead before. Drivers have issues, different things happen, so I'm patiently waiting for the right opportunity."
"I'm not going to be impatient and just jump on the first thing that comes around, but I want to be in the most competitive ride that I can be in the Sprint Cup Series, and if I can't find that, where I'm happy and it's a good fit, I'll look at some options in the XFINITY Series and even in the Truck Series," he said.
What Ragan does not want to do is compete for a Sprint Cup Series team that starts and parks.
"I'm still young," the second-generation driver said. "I'll be 30 in December, and I want to race something to have fun. I don't want to be out here just making laps earning a paycheck. That's not what it's all about. … I want to be in the Cup Series, but I want to be in something that I can race hard, and have a chance to win a race."

- No naps needed: Roger Penske pulls an all-nighter at the Rolex 24 at Daytona
- Ryan Blaney has some bad news regarding his mustache
- Kurt Busch, 4 other drivers top 200 mph in Texas qualifying
- The dramatic history of the cutoff race at Richmond Raceway
Hornish, meanwhile, admitted that the sponsorship uncertainty makes his future at Richard Petty Motorsports extremely tenuous.
"From my understanding of all of it, they're still looking for money to make the 9 car happen," said Hornish, who has just three top 10s and no top fives in 29 starts for RPM. "We feel like at times if we ran a little bit better that might be a little bit easier, but all that being said, it's got to be the right fit for everybody, too. There's a ton of rumors going on about what's going to happen. There's probably a lot more rumors than there are truths."
A former Indianapolis 500 winner and three-time IndyCar champion, Hornish competed full time in Sprint Cup for Team Penske from 2008-2010. He then drove two partial and two full XFINITY seasons before making a return to Sprint Cup this season.
A father of three children under the age of eight, Hornish admittedly enjoyed having a few more breaks in the schedule the past three years despite wanting to get back to Cup.
"I'm in a pretty good position with everything outside (of racing)," Hornish said. "I've got a wife and three kids. I'm in a great spot where I can choose to be a little bit picky about what I do, what I want to do, what I don't want to do, so that's obviously great. This year has been fun, I've done a lot of great things with the family, and I've missed some things, too. So all in all, I feel l'll be OK regardless."
But make no mistake about it: Hornish wants to remain in NASCAR, preferably with a Sprint Cup Series team.
"I want to be here and I want to be running these cars, whether it's on the Cup side or the XFINITY side," he said. "I want to be in something that's capable of running up front and should be able to do well, and that's all that really matters to me. Thank God that I've had enough opportunities for good things to happen that I don't have to go and get into something I don't feel comfortable with."
Unlike Ragan, Hornish isn't concerned about having his plans lined up by the end of this season.
"Ninety-nine percent of the things I've done in my lifetime were kind of last minute, so there's been a few times where it's been taken care of well in advance, but all in all whatever I happen to be racing next year I'd like to have a suit that matches the car, you know what I mean?" Hornish said. "I don't want it to be a last-minute thing, but I feel like there's obviously not a ton of great opportunities at this point in time for anybody that would be at this stage of the game."

Google Officially Launches New Logo and Search Page Layout
It's official! Google has officially launched their new search engine result pages (SERPs) format and also an updated and cleaner looking logo.
We first noticed Google testing their new SERPs format back in April.
Since then we have been left to wonder if and when the new search page layout would go live ad if there were any changes that would be made to their format as well.
It appears that the only thing missing from the early tests is the "Not Entirely Unlike" section.

Consider the dealer's reputation before you buy. Great dealers will have customer testimonials. You should also call the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to find out if they have any unresolved complaints or look for the BBB seal on their website and review their profile.
Organization and Personnel – This is exactly where you clarify your personnel needs. State how numerous employees are required, how you'll spend them and what you'll pay them. Also explain the personnel organizational structure.
Make a plan of how you're going to succeed in trading stocks online. Consider the possibilities available from Forex, tap into other stock brokerages, and watch your money flow in easily. Online stock traders are taking a full hit if they make the wrong move. It's your responsibility to learn about the companies you're investing in or buying stock from – are they growing?

When reporting an increase, it's important to know that a company reports based on a comparison to the same time period last year. The 10% increase represents a 10% increase in profits from the first quarter of 2008 to the first quarter of 2009. During the first quarter of 2008, the company experienced a whopping $98 million in restructuring costs. This year the company did not experience those costs.
Once a company has grown past the rule breaker stage, it becomes a tweener and either dies or goes on to become a rule maker. Tom writes the second half devoted to finding these Rule Makers — companies large and successful enough to dominate their industries.
Choosing a theme is the fun part! It's an opportunity to be creative. As in most creative exercises, I suggest you start with brainstorming. So gather a group. I prefer a creative team consisting of an interesting mix of people, representing as many constituencies as possible. So gather a staff member, a volunteer, board member, donor, client, guest… whatever makes sense for your nonprofit.
The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) provides an company annnual report explaining how consumers spend their money. The information in the report is taken from data or interviews involving over 120 million households. The data for 2008 was released in October, 2009. The average for all the data collected showed 63.7% of take home money going into the three biggest areas of spending – food, housing, and transportation – what I call the three budget boulders.
As a child I received a piece of advice from my mother. She told me never sell your mineral rights or your water rights on a piece of real estate you own. She also said don't buy a piece of land where those rights don't convey.
Every stock bares risk. Whether they are priced from $0.01 to $1000, or a micro-cap or a large-cap company. Barriers to entry and competition are high these days… Since a majority of penny stocks are young and small companies, its common for penny stocks to default under a competitive market.

Minecraft's Halloween update will bring a new portal system to the game, courtesy of a new dimension, tentatively-titled "Hell". Sounds cushy! Such convenience, however, comes at a price.
This new dimension will be guarded by a new monster type, called the Ghast. It's a floaty jellyfish thing that shoots fireballs, which explode when they hit something, then set what's left on fire. Even the ground.
You'll only encounter Ghasts while traversing the "Hell" dimension, so if you want to enjoy the luxury of fast-travelling across your Minecraft maps, you'd better be prepared to run.

Conceptual comics Workshop
The Conceptual Comics Workshop emphasises the directness of a subversive, marginal art form whose democratic potential depends on its ability to be criticised within itself. In the absence of passionately critical discourse in comics, the erratic insights of curatorial and publishing initiatives have failed to produce the conditions for a fluid transdisciplinarity. The workshop brings to the fore practices that are unaffiliated with the commonly accepted history of the medium. It holds that if a comics genealogy exists, can only be individual and idiosyncratic and each of the different assignments explores the very substrate of the comics medium not as a culturally neutral site, but as a way to build alternative historiographies, replete with their own material properties and signifying potential. By arguing and reclaiming the unlocatedness of conceptual comics, entrenched between more respected form of expression, such as poetry, artist books or contemporary art, we will explore issues of legitimacy and ask: In which language may one describe artistic practices that swear fealty to no single history, no major canons and established critical methodologies? And how can one describe the unfixed substances of a subcultural production negotiating linguistic and extralinguistic meanings in a globalised world, other than as realms of affects, potentials and strategies?

Here is what my training looked like the week of 06.04.18 – 06.10.18:
Monday – Off
I know "they" say #nevermissamonday, but this runner missed a Monday and lived to tell the tale. In all actuality, I planned to run after work but didn't end up getting home until close to 7 p.m. and I had a workout scheduled for the next day, so I decided that it made more sense to just take the day off and be ready to roll in the morning.
Tuesday – Quality: 8.75 miles (7:45 pace)
Tuesday's workout was a two mile warm up, 10 X 400 and a three mile cool down. Mr. Sesame ran this one with me and that helped me out so much! It's really amazing how much of a difference it makes to have someone to pace off of and work with during a workout (especially at the track). My splits were 86, 84, 83, 84, 85, 83, 83, 83, 83, 81 and his were all about 2 to 3 seconds quicker. We knocked this one out before work Tuesday morning and were both really pleased with how it went!
Wednesday AM – Easy: 10 miles (8:20 pace) + PM – Easy: 5 miles (9:00 pace)
I met my RBF at dark o'clock (i.e., we were done with our run before 5:30 a.m.) on Wednesday to celebrate Global Running Day. It's crazy how oddly satisfying it can be to have a double digit run knocked out before the rest of the world is even awake.
Thursday – Easy: 5 miles (8:55 pace)
My legs were definitely a bit tired Thursday. I did an easy loop before work.
Friday – Easy: 8 miles (8:16 pace)
Admittedly, Friday's run was a bit of a mess. We went fishing all day Friday and I couldn't decide whether it would be good to try to get my other workout for the week out of the way on Friday or whether I should just wait and do it on Saturday. I wanted to do it Friday because I figured I would be worn out Saturday after being out in the sun all day long. The problem was that I needed to be done with my workout by 5:30 a.m. Friday morning in order to make the fishing trip. I knew that the early wake up was possible (I mean, I did it Wednesday), but I also knew that it was going to be tough.
Sure enough, when push came to shove, I hit snooze a few times and didn't get started as early as I needed to. I had a three mile warm up, so I planned to do that on the treadmill and then head over to the track for the workout. My husband was going to come up to the track around 5 to check on me. For whatever strange reason, the treadmill cut off on me about a mile and half into the run, so I was kind of forced to go ahead and go to the track. I don't like running by myself in the dark, so I really didn't want to have to go over there any earlier than absolutely necessary. It wasn't ideal, but I knew it would be fine. By the time I finished my warm up miles, it was already 4:45 and I knew that there was no way that I was going to have time to do the workout and the cool down, so I decided to just do an easy run around the track instead.
Saturday – Quality: 9 miles (8:12 pace)
Saturday morning I did a three mile warm up, a workout of 1 X 1600 followed by 4 X 800 with two minute standing recoveries between and a three mile cool down. The workout was actually supposed to have two more 800s and another 1600 at the end, but I didn't make it that far. I waited until a bit later than usual to run and I felt like I was cooking in the heat on the track. I ran 5:53 for the mile and 5:50 average for the 800s. I messed up the actual splits on my watch because of the standing recoveries. I should've just set up the workout on my Garmin and done it that way, but I decided I could figure it out on my own and that didn't exactly work out for me.
Sunday – Easy: 8 miles (8:12 pace)
I finished up the week with an easy group run Sunday morning. My legs were definitely feeling the effects of Saturday's speed work!
Total – 55.3 miles

Compression stocking therapy is the use of compression hose to treat varicose or spider veins.
This is a very simple varicose treatment whereby the patient wears a previously prescribed pair of compression stockings or compression hose that work by applying pressure on the ankle and other parts of the leg with the goal of pushing the blood flow upwards towards the heart.
Important information about Compression Stocking Therapy.
- Compression stockings help relieve symptoms and slow the progress of varicose veins however not everyone with varicose veins needs compression stockings and the therapy is not always successful.
- They improve circulation and are a mainstay of treatment for varicose veins that are causing symptoms.
- It is important to put them on consistently first thing in the morning, and practice this daily, making adjustments for proper fitting as you go along.
- It is also important that they are a good fit for your legs or they could make problems worse.
The cost of the stockings can range between $50 and $125, and there is a bit of a learning curve when they are first used. A pair of compression hose usually needs to be replaced after 4 to 6 months of regular use.
After a few weeks of consistent use, patients normal adjust fairly well to the stockings and get a good deal of benefit from them.
St Johns Vein Center offers compression stockings / compression hose for purchase but before purchasing compression stockings it is recommended to get properly evaluated to determine if they would be the best solution for you. If you are considering compression stocking to treat your legs, contact St Johns Vein Center for a consultation at 877-640-VEIN or by filling out our online form to schedule a consultation.

""Child's Play""
You go down like rain,
A wishing star in disguise,
You scream bloody murder
-the perfect two face disgrace
Your lips forever stain and reside with Benedict A
Your eyes hide the truth, like a lost domain in space
Darling, that will never cut what bleeds from a mother's heart
My precious doll, your feathers are mourning like a flightless dove
Is this to be love, standing there while I fall apart
Our younger years, display nothing but love,
Like the wonder years, you will remain more precious than a gem
From one betrayal to another, a heart colder than winters zone
That never counts as failure, when it comes to unconditional love
Darling, the pain and secrets were never yours to absorb alone
"My sweet darling, Let me hold you once more!"
My beautiful girl, the nights grow random like sin
Your mind's fast at switching grapes on a vine
Fault, from a mother to son, too much exposure from the sun
Insanity and sin remain, from a mother to her daughter
Soaking in salt that protects me from a loaded gun
A shameful way to sunbathe your skin like a shooting star
My beautiful daughter, you put my heart behind bars
My dearest cry baby, you're all grown up these days
Sweetheart, I don't see you going home
These towels will not dry
The feeling of fresh flowers from the center core
Your man-made drama spreads through every walkway
Allowing darkness to reach the floor
-- Once again the sun, has revealed your Judas like tan
Your tears have flowed, one too many times
Here we are, covering every bruise
Raising every brow in hope everything's gone
Darling, no one will love you like I do
I whisper your name and wish life had nothing to misplace
Sweet darling, your eyes are rolling dice
A low roll of dominoes misleading everyone the wrong way
This time I can't cover your mistake with a blanket,
My little darling, you have gone too far
Your paper dolls aren't cutting smiles from this frown
I've always known your the Iscariot,
Selling your soul for a mere quarter
These tears were never yours to sell for at the end
Our sins will have more weight than a thousand pounds of amber
My beautiful darling, I forgive you every day,
I want you to know, I'm Sorry about the things I had to enunciate
I don't understand how easily you trampled our bed of roses
Carrying over the moon in your treason white gown
Darling, Mommy wants you to understand
The voice of reason was for your own good
The knife in my back is rusted
The father clock continues to stand still
Sweet child, the allusion you left behind faded long ago
Contradicting your life with your infamous pretty face logo
My dearest cry baby!
Why the tan lotion, where's your sense of guilt?
Is this another game of child's play?
Darling, it's time to put them toys away
"My Sweet Darling, I need to hold you once more."

Absolutely addicted!
The scent, the way it makes my skin feel smooth and silky (but not greasy at all) - love, love, love and have bought two in this second purchase. The first time I applied after a shower my 5-year old said, "Mommy you smell so good." Proof positive this stuff rocks!
One con: bottle too small - I literally finished the first bottle I purchased in under three week's time.

You might have fallen in love with the neighborhood and the bones of the house you bought, but the inside design? A rest room set up includes a greater variety of initiatives than every other room in the dwelling. We appeared on the newest Transforming Influence Report to find out which projects will allow you to recoup more of your cash by the value that these dwelling enchancment projects add to your private home.

Is Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery) for you?
- Posted on: Apr 2 2014
Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, sometimes referred to as "nose reshaping" or a "nose job," improves the appearance and proportion of your nose, enhancing facial harmony and self confidence. Surgery of the nose may also correct impaired breathing caused by structural abnormalities in the nose. A rhinoplasty procedure is a good option for you if your facial growth is complete and you are 13 years of age or older.While the shape of your nose is usually the result of heredity, the appearance may have been altered in an injury or during prior surgery.
Rhinoplasty surgery can change:
- Nose size, in relation to the other facial structures
- Nose width, at the bridge
- Nose profile, with visible humps or depressions on the bridge
- Nasal tip, that is large or bulbous, drooping, or too upturned
- Nostrils that are large, wide or upturned
- Nasal asymmetry and deviation
A nose surgery procedure to improve an obstructed airway requires careful evaluation of the nasal structure as it relates to airflow and breathing. Correction of a deviated septum, one of the most common causes of breathing impairment, is achieved by adjusting the nasal structure to produce better alignment.
Surgery of the nose is performed either using a closed procedure, where incisions are hidden inside the nose, or an open procedure, where an incision is made across the columella (the narrow strip of tissue that separates the nostrils).
Through these incisions, the soft tissues that cover the nose are gently raised, allowing access to reshape the structure of the nose.
Surgery of the nose can reduce or augment nasal structures with the use of cartilage grafted from other areas of your body. Most commonly, pieces of cartilage from the septum (the partition in the middle of the nose) is used for this purpose. Occasionally, a piece of cartilage from the ear and rarely a section of rib cartilage can be used. If the septum is deviated, it is straightened and the projections inside the nose are reduced to improve breathing.
Once the underlying structure of the nose is sculpted to the desired shape, nasal skin and tissue is redraped and incisions are closed. Additional incisions may be placed in the natural creases of the nostrils to alter their size.
After your procedure is completed, a splint, internal tubes or packing will likely be placed inside your nose and a splint or bandages placed on the outside to support and protect the new structures during initial healing. These splints and internal tubes will support the nose as it begins to heal for approximately one week. While initial swelling subsides within a few weeks, it may take up to a year for your new nasal contour to fully refine.
During this time you may notice gradual changes in the appearance of your nose as it refines to a more permanent outcome. Swelling may come and go and worsen in the morning during the first year following your nose surgery.
Although the results of nose surgery are usually permanent, cartilage may continue to reshape and move tissue that may change the outcome over time.

Trump's Walls
Donald Trump campaigned on the idea of a "big, beautiful wall". It was supposed to be a wall between Mexico and the U.S. That wall may or may not ever happen but he definitely has been engaged in wall building ever since he moved into the White House.
Unfortunately, the walls he's been so busily constructing are between different groups of Americans. He's built walls between whites and African-Americans, between whites and Latinos, between whites and Muslims, between men and women, between gays and straights, between conservatives and liberals. We are now divided into our own tribal groups and the obstacles between us are so high and so thick that we can't see through or around them.
Trump rules by fear and he, his followers believe, is the only one who can save us.
This president has divided us from our most trusted agencies of government - the F.B.I., the Justice Department, the Intelligence agencies. None of them can be relied upon to do the right thing anymore. They are all part of the nonsensical deep state. The administration trashes Robert Mueller, James Comey, Rod Rosenstein, all of whom have spent their lives in honored public service. All the judges who signed off on FISA court warrants are are guilty of deceit. John McCain was a traitor but it doesn't matter because he is almost dead anyway.
The Mueller investigation is a "witch hunt" although it has so far resulted in the indictments of 20 people and guilty pleas from five more for collusion/obstruction/or coordination with Russia.
Trump has divided us from our friends. He is at the G7 Summit in Canada as I write this. We are riven from our most staunch allies - Britain, France, Germany, Canada. Meanwhile, he believes Russia should be allowed back into the G7 (that used to be the G8) although Russia was ejected for invading Crimea and that hasn't changed). He also has worked a deal with China to save their giant telecommunications company though they were sanctioned for engaging in espionage against us. What is that all about?
Trump has deliberately built a wall between Americans and their most admired sports heroes even though he knows good and well that taking a knee never had anything to do with the national anthem or honoring our flag and soldiers.
On the other hand, Donald Trump has torn down some walls too. The once-unscalable wall between truth and lies is all but gone. So is the wall between corruption and the Rule of Law. Anything goes in Trump World and you only have to look at Head of the EPA, ScottPruitt, with his dozen ethics investigations, for the perfect example.
I have watched the gutless Republicans and my conservative friends disappear down the rabbit hole of conspiracy, following their president. It started with Obama not being an American and it has gone on from there. No matter what he says, they buy into it even though most of it is sheer lunacy. Obama was an American Christian. There is no witch hunt. There is no "deep state".
I have no idea how this will end but I don't think it will be in a good way for our democracy.
Labels: China, Deep State, Donald Trump, FBI, G-7, Justice Dept, Robert Mueller, Russia, witch Hunt

Agile NCR Conference 2009
The conference, itself, was organized as well as last year and soon, we should probably see the NCR conference going international. Its popularity and enthusiasm generated by this conference is engaging and infectious.
My colleague, a first time attendee to the conference, was eager to check the budget of such a conference so tht our company could host it as well!
The organizers, Xebia, were gracious and the sponsors, Ericsson, were excellent in their support. The presentation by Hedwig Baars was excellent as was the participation of the Ericsson employees in the conference.
In all, a highly successful conference and after this conference, i genuinely believe that i, my colleagues at the conference and my company can go Agile, with total confidence.

Dear Ravichandran, Your presentation was really very interesting and would love to have a link to the same. It was a very important subject which it touched upon and I guess we have reached a time in Agile Life where these aspect would be further drilled into.
Overall the Agile NCR was a great success and was a great day and value for us in Ericsson. Thanks for all your good words.
Best Regards
Manu Shah

HI Ravi,
during the entire presentation time i was identifying how Agile can actually be a remedy to a sick unit and process. The estimation part was nicely presented by you and I'll surely try to bring agile to my practice in sales and marketing.
Thank You Ravi & Xebia

2019 VW Sharan * Price * Engine * Release Date
2019 VW Sharan. VW Sharan is one of the most popular MPVs on the market. The company stated that the new Volkswagen Volkswagen Charan 2019 is guaranteed to obtain an update that is effectively due in every way possible. For the most part, everything is probably much better, from the inside out to the engine performance. There are not many specific details of Volkswagen's future directions, but from the image we have, the new model may be desirable.
VW Sharan 2019 will be a "minibus" for next season. After a major scandal in the United States, this car will bring many updates to restore the automotive industry's reputation. Well, it will not be easy with the big competition in Europe, where Sharan is very popular. However, engineers and designers will try to fix most things that buyers did not like in the previous version.
The most important feature of the upcoming VW Sharan 2019 is the great boot, equipment, and reliability. After review, defects must be improved, such as handling. In fact, MPV transmission was its main problem. The reliable and durable unit lacks support from other parts. If you add a more sporty impression of the unit and features such as noise cancellation, the Sharan 2019 will be one of the best minivans we'll find on the market.
2019 VW Sharan Engine
Like most European cars, the minivan will offer gasoline and diesel engines. The basic models use a 1.4-liter four-cylinder petrol unit as an energy source. This plant can produce 150 hp and 185 lb. of torque. The direct injection system is standard for both gasoline engines. This is an excellent solution for urban areas and daily mobility.
But when you reach the road, you will look for more power and acceleration. This is exactly what the 2.0-liter diesel engine offers. It has the same horsepower as the basic model, but torque rises to 280 lbs. This torsion force makes a difference when you step into the accelerator pedal.
The last option is the petrol displacement of 2.0 liters. The main drawback is the Volkswagen 2019 price Sharan with this unit. In addition, the cost of maintenance will increase from bets, so the large gasoline unit is not economical. But strong. If you need to pull out your Charan, the 220 ponies will certainly be helpful. In conjunction with the DSG transmission, the owners of the model with this engine will feel the privacy when driving the mini-van. It makes the Volkswagen Charan 2019 closer to its new competitors in the SUV category Crossover.
2019 VW Sharan Design
The length of the 2019 VW Sharan is 4850 mm long. Its width is also 1,900 mm, its height is 1750 mm, and the wheelbase is 2920 mm. The minivan will need about 12 meters per lap. The distance to the ground is not very generous because 15 cm (6 inches) is not enough for any off-road adventure. The interior space is one of the advantages of Volkswagen Charan 2019. The MPV can carry 530-670 kg (1200-1500 lb), depending on configuration and engine.
2019 VW Sharan Release Date And Price
Features, features, and safety are the powerful aspects of the VW Sharan 2019. The car will provide many cabin comforts to increase comfort and entertainment. The touch screen is located in the center of the control panel. Navigation is optional, but most commands come from this functionality. The USB and AUX ports, as well as Bluetooth, are standard. VW Sharan 2019 will offer Android Auto and Apple CarPlay services. In addition, there is MirrorLink.
Within the 2019 Volkswagen Sharan, there will be room for five or seven passengers. Buyers will automatically select the standard temperature control. Front seats provide heating function, while second and third rows are foldable.
The main drawback of Volkswagen's predecessor, Sharan, in 2019 was the deal. German engineers are working to repair it. In addition, the overall appearance of the minivan will not attract much attention. Needs updating and some attractive updates. Well, the tool comes first when we talk about mini-van. But now, when people can buy transitions or SUVs with similar utility benefits, the side can be the key to staying on the MPV. Finally, the VW Sharan 2019 will once again be one of the most expensive models in its class. The price does not decrease compared to the previous one.

In this, the centenary year of women's suffrage, the Cheshunt Foundation has been asked to join in with a fascinating celebration of influential women from the 1720s and 1730s- the 21 'ladies of quality and distinction" who helped philanthropist Thomas Coram set up his Foundling Hospital in London. Long before women were given the right to vote, these ladies were influential in helping Coram secure a Royal Charter for his Foundling Hospital, which was set up to support and care for some of London's abandoned 'foundling children'.
One of the ladies was Selina, Countess of Huntingdon, who also founded Trevecca College for young men to train for ministry- which later moved to Hertfordshire and became Cheshunt College.
These marvellous ladies are being celebrated this Autumn with a remarkable exhibition at the Foundling Museum in London. The Collections Manager, Alison Duke, came to visit the College recently to look at the painting in situ, and to discuss how best to transport it to London for the exhibition. Alison has written about her visit for Art Funding here .
We look forward to seeing the Countess surrounded by her peers- or, strictly speaking, her Peeresses- on September! The exhibition opens to the public in September and will run through into January 2019.
To find out more about the exhibition at the Foundling Museum, have a look at the Foundling Museum website
…And to find out more about the 21 Ladies, and about Thomas Coram, visit the website of Coram, the charity which continues their work today.

Modified Sine Wave Inverter - Motorhome Inverter, Camper Inverter
Low-priced and simple modified sine wave inverter!12V power inverter generate an ac voltage of 230V from a dc voltage of 12V/24V of your motorhome battery. This can be delivered by either a pure sine wave inverter or a modified sine wave inverter. The modified sine wave inverter offered in this category work with a clocked square wave voltage. This is converted into high frequency, in which the individual pulses are limited. The result is a staircase-shaped course which is very similar to a sinusoid. It is sufficient for many purposes.
What kind of 12v power inverter do you need?Do you need a pure sine wave inverter or a modified sine wave inverter? Short explanations of the products can be found below; on the bottom of this page.
Pure sine wave inverters and a calculation of the required size of your 12v power inverter can be found in the category 12V Pure Sine Wave Inverter
12V Power Inverter as Caravan Inverter, Camper Inverter or Motorhome Inverter12v power inverter generates an ac voltage of 230V from a 12V/24V dc voltage. Different techniques can be used for this, which affect the kind of the output voltage. 12V power inverter can also be used as a solar inverter in your motorhome, caravan or campervan.
1. Square wave inverterTechnically very simple 12V inverter which are hardly common today. The alternating current generated by them is superimposed by too many disturbancs. Due to the further development of power electronic they are outdated today.
2. Modified sine wave inverterA simple 12v power inverter is inexpensive and sufficient for many uses. However, the operation of sensitive electronical eqipment or multimedia devices is sometimes problematic because the of the imperfectly simulated sinusoidal voltage, this can cause interferences. These devices simulate the sinusoidal voltage by staircase shaped voltage - square wave voltage. Therefore they are often called a modified sine wave inverter. A modified sine wave inverter is sufficient for:
- small power operated engines
- lightbulbs
- toaster
- Radio
- Electrical devices (such as mixer or razor)
3. 12v pure sine wave inverter - Pure sine wave inverterThe upper class: They match the mains voltage with 50Hz the best. Therefore, there are no restrictions as to which devices you use. Also suitable for sensitive devices such as measuring devices or computer systems. However, please note that some devices require a multipe of their rated power specified in the technical data for a short time when starting. The 12v pure sine wave inverter must therefore be dimensioned with sufficient reserve power (as mentioned above at "required power reserves")
These pure sine wave inverters can be found in 12V Pure Sine Wave Inverter The 12v pure sine wave inverter is perfect for:
- Larger electric engines
- LED- lamps or similar
- Compressor cool boxes
- Charger for smartphone, tablet and similar
- Computer/Laptops with mains adapter

Journal of Captain Cook's voyage round the world in HMS ENDEAVOUR, 1768-1771.

Record details:
|Journal of Captain Cook's voyage round the world in HMS ENDEAVOUR, (see appendix), 1768-1771. Also available as microfilm (SMF/35).
The journal records weather conditions, courses taken and wind directions. It also gives brief descriptions of peoples encountered, flora, fauna and landscapes. It is a contemporary or near contemporary copy of the original which is thought to be the volume in the National Library of Australia in Canberra which is in Cook's hand and has provenance through his wife.
This copy is in three, possibly four, different hands, has several different inks and also six different watermarks. The content is a composite of the ships journal and log and is not complete for the voyage. It is possible that it was copied out separately by different people and then put together later. One of these is thought to be Richard Orton who was Cook's clerk on the Endeavour.
It was kept at Windsor Castle for many years and was known as `the Queens' copy' but is unlikely to have been made for a queen. It could have been copied for Vice Admiral Sir Charles Paget whose name is at the top of the first page. The other possibility is August John Hervey, 3rd Earl of Bristol, a Lord of the Admiralty between 1771-75 (also mentioned on the first page at the bottom). It was presented to the Museum in 1935 by Edward VIII.

Narcissistic characteristics seem to suggest a person with a very high opinion of themselves but is that the whole story and were they always like that? It appears that a narcissistic personality is not caused by neural damage but is more of a character disorder, (halcyon.com) so how did they get these characteristics?
As babies we look to our main caretakers for love and nurturing. However, part of growing up is learning and accepting that our caretakers have other commitments as well; work, the other parent, the siblings, friends, grandparents. But sometimes a child feels a higher level of rejection. For example, one sibling might have health problems and therefore seem to take more than their share of the caretakers' time and love. A parent might re-marry and the child not feel accepted by the new step parent. Someone that I know felt understandably abandoned when their mother emigrated to Australia during their childhood, leaving them behind. Or the parents might have been cold and neglectful.
In the melting pot of genetics and circumstance, there forms a festering feeling of unjustified rejection and of victimisation. This is a rejection that they could not control. They were surely just a normal child, so why were they not loved enough? Why were their feelings not considered? The narcissistic seeds are sown as the emerging adult sets out to prove to all they meet, that their feelings should be and will be considered.
They begin to engage in activities that validate their self-worth. They might seek to gain wealth or power in their work. They take advantage of others to achieve this, so urgent it is to prove that they are a successful person. Or they become obsessed with their looks. They will also no doubt want to prove their intellectual ability and will look for opportunities to show off their knowledge. They are patronising and contemptuous of others. Putting others down helps them to feel better about themselves.
But the cracks in their fragile self-esteem show when they over react to criticism. They are defensive and react with anger to others' points of view. This anger masks their hurt that many years ago, as a young child, they did not get the love that they feel they deserved.
Their outrage at this lack of love and attention makes them feel a victim and gives them the justification to be entitled to have their needs put first. They lack empathy for others people's feelings because they think their feelings are more important. They perceive that others have already had a better deal; more luck, more money, a better start in life. They will make up for the lack of love given to them as a child, by loving themselves excessively.
Because their childhood was not as they would have liked, they develop a preoccupation with an idealised family life or relationship where they have the love that they didn't experience as a child and give love in return. But their love is flawed because they must be in control and because it is about their feelings above everyone else's, even those of their own children. My narcissistic ex used to arrange family days out doing what he thought were enjoyable activities. If the children didn't share his enthusiasm he would get angry. He was never interested in asking them what they liked doing. In fact what he wanted was admiration and gratitude for his fatherly duties rather than them doing something that they enjoyed.
Narcissists are often exploitative and coercive yet believe that they are loved and respected. If the family unit breaks down, it will not be their fault. Before long they may be looking for extra relationships to prove their attractiveness. They can be charming and seductive whilst they lie to cover their tracks. They need this attention to compensate themselves for their perceived lack of affection in their childhood.
Sadly, in many cases, the narcissist will never achieve the adulation that they crave. As they grow older they will not have managed to secure trusting and meaningful relationships. Those people they did have some kind of relationship with will have grown tired of their selfishness and self centeredness. Their lack of empathy means they will never have been truly close to another person in spirit and their physical appeal will no longer be enough to attract the attention that they crave. If only they had realised that as an adult, you can't demand love and respect for your feelings, you also have to give it.

Yoga Poses for Shoulders and Arm Release. miss sunitha #sunithalovesyoga
Years of sitting in chairs and cars left most of us with chronic tightness in their inner thighs. How can we release this tension and free our hips and groins? This is necessary in order to enjoy the everyday life and also to do many yoga poses, especially the standing poses.
Badda Konasana (pronounced BUD the Cone AAH sun uh) is a classic imprisoned pose that solves the tightness in our hips and groin. It also gives us the opportunity to center ourselves. As we sit up, open our hips, lower our heads, and bring our soles together, we become focused and calm.
Baddha means bound and kona means angle, so this is the bound angular attitude. It is sometimes called cobbler posture because this is the position shoemakers take in India.
This deceptively simple pose has many other benefits:
It is good for the health of the prostate in men and the lower reproductive system in women. For this effect, hold the pose for at least five minutes, preferably with your back against a wall. It is interesting to note that Indian shoemakers are unique in that they have no prostate problems. This pose also relieves sexual tension and frustration.
o In women, this pose relieves menstrual cramps and symptoms of menopause. Regular exercise in the second and third trimester of pregnancy reduces discomfort at birth.
o It calms the lower abdominal organs and releases tensions in the bladder. It helps the excretory system to remove waste from the body.
o The pelvis is the root of the emotions. So when we open the bars, we allow the expression of emotions. Most creativity comes from an emotional place, not a mental place. By opening the foundation of emotions, we let creativity flow more freely.
If you have difficulty practicing these or other yoga postures, remember the following story: Three Men Traveling on Camels Through a Desert. As the sky darkened, a booming voice from the clouds commanded, "Get off your camels and fill your pockets with stones!" The men were tired after a long day of travel and did not want to bury themselves and their camels. So they reluctantly put some stones in their sacks. Then they went on to the camp, put up their tents and went to sleep.
In the morning, the men opened the leather bags and discovered that the stones had been turned into diamonds during the night. The men were happy and sad at the same time. They were glad that they had put some stones in their bags, but excuse that they had not put any more in them. It is the same with yoga. When you go through life, traveling in darkness and deserts, when the morning comes and you have to face the day, you will be glad that you have done everything you have practiced, and you are sorry that you are not have done more.

I was in first grade when my parents and two older sisters moved me to Upstate New York from New York City. Being so young, it seemed to me that they all sat down and weighed and balanced all of life's options before the move. No one asked me because I didn't know life's options. I was just suddenly over three hundred miles away, in the deep sticks outside Syracuse, in Liverpool, New York. I knew the real name was Hickland, the name some of our Brooklyn relatives called our new home. To them, there was The City, Brooklyn, for both sides of my family, and then apparently some forlorn other places.
Across the street from my little nuclear family's new house resided a family with a boy close to my age. Over the next several years, that boy, Gordon, tried to teach me that there were essentially two options in life: achieving and talking. He was an achiever. I looked and sounded like a talker to him. Yack, yack, yack. He'd try to lead by example, but I might be hopeless because I came from that odd family that just moved up from NYC. Everyone knew New York City was essentially a titanic human experiment sinking into its own polluted swill. It must have been the billions of tons of concrete weighing down on some sad slivers of land down there, sinking it all into that swill, that made nervous wrecks out of those billions of people, so that they ranted and raved and never shut up out of some desperate need to resolve their psychotic, correct, fears of everything around them.
Gordon was born steady, sure, and never, ever afraid. He never rattled on. He simply did his best to perform tasks better than others. He was better than I was at baseball, football, and basketball, ice hockey, track and field, and wrestling. He was better at math, history, English, science, and making friends. He was taller, until puberty hit me, stronger and, from what I gathered from him, better looking. Most of all, he was calmer.
I didn't know, for years, that he might not be so calm on the inside. I didn't know that I might be less calm than I'd like to be, at least partly because of him. He might be what made me nervous. How could anyone be so damned accomplished?
No one in my house resembled Gordon, but they didn't resemble anyone else outside my house. It wasn't ethnicity or race that separated my family from everyone. It was their New-Yorkness. My father dressed up in expensive suits. He told funny stories at parties—drinking parties that were always at my house—and argued with anyone who disagreed with him about anything. He, alone, would have exhausted the neighbors but add my cigarette-smoking, fast—very, very fast—fast-talking mother, and the neighbors only came to try to watch and listen.
If they ever attempted to get a word in, my two sisters put a stop to that. My sisters, who somehow always remained more NYC than I did, could never understand the slowness of the neighbors. If I thought Gordon was a dynamo, well he seemed to be a bit of a sad sack to them. He didn't have anything to say.
I began to question the absolute authority of Gordon. Why not question that taciturn steadiness? It wasn't doing me much good. Right? It took a few years, but I noticed Gordon couldn't engage in conversations with adults. I could. I noticed Gordon got especially awkward around my sisters and never tried to talk to girls at school. I did. When he gave me a hard time about yacking about something, I started saying something back, like. "Well, I'm bored. I think I'll go hang around my sisters and have a few laughs."
Yeah, I pushed back, verbally.
My family moved to another neighborhood, and then high school came. I befriended other people who were achievers, but compared with my family, no one upstate was a talker. Some people liked some of what I had to say. I liked high school and my new friends. Jim Suback sat in the back of the class and made simple, sarcastic remarks, about everything. Outside of school, Jim could spit father than anyone else.
I joined the debating team. I was chosen to captain one side of the issue being debated that year. My side won by a large margin. We had to represent the opposite viewpoint. My side won again, by a large margin. Gordon should have been pleased, being one of the three other debaters on my team, but he was rankled. It was written all over his face. He just couldn't get any words out.
I wasn't even distantly aware of Gordon anymore. My mother spoke with his mother on the phone occasionally and would pass on something that I barely heard. I read in the paper about him winning the New York State high hurdle championship one year. That was impressive, but I was just seen by many in my school as considerably cooler. It turned out talkers did better after puberty. Seemed that way to me. I honestly didn't enjoy his predicament; I didn't give it any thought. I had interesting new friends, some of them talking girls; profoundly interesting girls who painted and read books. I was busy rebelling and barely getting into college.
Gordon got his Ph.D. in psychology, my mother told me years later. We had a bit of a laugh about that the way talkers do, talking. Ironically, repressed Gordon was telling other people how to stop being repressed. I think, without saying it, that my mother and I knew he'd be a very good psychologist. Gordon didn't do things halfway.
A couple of years later, my mother told me another story about Gordon; the last one. He was killed in a car crash. A reckless driver hit his car from behind. Gordon's wife and two tiny children were at home. He was twenty-nine.
Because of Gordon, I admire achievers. I like talkers, too. But, because of Gordon, I tried to be both and I'm still trying.

Facebook advertising and the correct steps to implement it most effectively
Step One: Buying the Right Budget for Advertising on Facebook:
Those of us who wish to advertise on Facebook need to be able to divide correctly the budget for it, so full advantage of Facebook's advertising platform can be taken.
In order to do so, one must understand exactly what the budget is and set a specific sum assigned especially for the promoting platform on Facebook. Advertising on social network systems depend entirely on the relationship that we'll build with existing and future customers. Therefore, our recommendation is to not put all of your eggs in one basket, but to distribute small amounts for long term promoting on Facebook.
Step Two: Examining the worthiness of posting ads on Facebook:
In terms of effectiveness and efficiency that Facebook allows, one advertising and marketing strategy strikes. One of the most effective modules
And most profitable is duplicated ads. Meaning: creating one creative and attractive ad about the product's nature and its dissemination to various audiences by demographic distribution. Then, the ad's effectiveness is put to test. It gets examined on whether changes are needed in the ad or just changing the target audience and the geographical locations of existing and potential customers are needed.
Step Three: Advertising consistency and maintaining a stable and good relationship with the customer:
Once you've started to advertise on Facebook, you always maintain constant exposure.
How to do it? By keeping intense interest in your product's customers.
Keep in touch with customers through direct mail of all kinds: distribution of coupons and discounts, creating a member's club, buying likes, and giving personal attention to each client.
This way you can maintain constant contact with existing customers, attract future customers to you and of course – increase the purchases.

(businesspress24) - London, UK; IT recruitment platform talent.io is on the verge of further expansion after securing a major wave of investment into the business two years after going live.
Paris-based talent.io will press ahead with growth plans in France, Germany and the UK fresh from receiving a boost of 8m from two of its original financial backers Alven Capital and Ventech.
The revolutionary model, which launched in the UK in December, presents small, carefully selected groups of candidates to recruiters via its bespoke online platform. IT engineers, who do not have to pay for the service, appear on talent.io for one month during which they can be contacted by companies seeking IT engineers and other specialist tech professionals.
Recruiters can then discuss the job role and salary options with candidates online, and ultimately offer positions in their companies. The revenue generated to talent.io comes from a subscription paid by the companies hiring, which becomes active when they successfully recruit a candidate and can be stopped if the new employee does not remain in their role.
Since arriving in the UK in December last year, talent.io has hired IT professionals on behalf of Transferwise, Edited and Curve and includes Arcadia Group, Zopa, Viagogo, Dyson, Entrepreneur First, Ovo Energy, Just Giving and notonthehighstreet.com among the businesses signed up looking for candidates. In the four months since launching in the UK, talent.io has received applications from over 4,000 IT professionals, and the number is growing every day.
talent.io was founded in Paris in 2015 when tech entrepreneurs Amit Aharoni and Nicolas Meunier joined forces with IT recruitment expert Jonathan Azoulay with a plan to disrupt the traditional business of hiring high-demand engineering roles.
In just two years of being in operation, talent.io has served more than 2,000 European businesses looking to recruit IT professionals, including BNP Paribas, Trip Advisor, Adobe, TransferWise and GoPro. The company places on average 100 IT engineers into roles each month, from 400 carefully selected out of some 4,500 applying monthly.
Originally running the service in France alone, talent.io has since expanded its operations into Germany and the UK. The company took its first international steps last summer with the opening of its Berlin office, followed by the establishment of the London office in December. It has hired a total of 40 staff members, including five in London and five in Berlin.
In 2015, the company secured 2M of initial funding from a tranche of backers including Alven Capital, Elaia Partners, Ventech, and a number of smaller business angels, kick-starting growth in France and a later push into Germany and the UK. Since then it has expanded its service to include 200 recruiters in London, 200 in Berlin, and a total of more than 40,000 candidates across all three markets. Last year saw further rapid expansion for the business, which has now put more than 800 applicants into roles.
With the backing just announced from two of its original investors Alven Capital and Ventech, the company is anticipating an increase in the number of recruitments completed on its site by 1000% in the next two years. The deal shows significant confidence in the business from the existing investors, whose backing has been a key driver in a phenomenal growth story for talent.io in just over two years of operating.
Commenting on the latest round of investment, talent.io co-founder Jonathan Azoulay said: The rapid expansion of talent.io shows that our model works and proves there is an appetite for a new kind of recruitment platform based on what recruiters and candidates really need. Traditional recruitment agencies and job boards are no longer performing as they should and our IT recruitment platform is taking more market share away from them every day. The 8m investment is a vindication of our vision for recruiting in the IT sector and for the potential for talent.io not just as a new way of hiring IT staff but also as a growth business opportunity.
We have big plans for talent.io within the burgeoning tech sector and cant wait to take the business forward over the coming months and years.

talent.io is the simplest way for software engineers to find great jobs in innovative companies. They get offers from top companies and decide who they want to talk to. Over 10,000 developers and 1,000 companies (including Safran, Deezer, Daimler, Venteprivée, BlaBlaCar, Adobe, Parrot, Drivy, AXA, LeBonCoin, Number26, Leetchi, and Ubisoft) have already signed up to the platform and hundreds of offers are made every week to software engineers looking for their next dream job. Founded in 2015, the company operates in France (Paris, Lyon) and Germany (Berlin) and now the UK (London). Visit talent.io.

I just kept kicking it.
Back to the State of the Art: With my benches already swamped with overdue chores, a fellow who disappeared out-of-touch for a year resurfaces wanting his half-dozen G Models, as if I had continued with them thinking he was perhaps 'pushing up daisies'.
With many, many hours into them already, I stalled after subbing out ~$400 in welding. The welds ain't pretty, and I didn't sit down to carve on them. With other things to do, it was cutting my losses. Which brings us full circle to the looming skill-gap for the industry: All of my trusted TIGmeisters have died, or getting close to it.
If I send them back rough and un-useable, I won't get paid. If I spend several weeks on nothing else, the bills won't get paid, and they still won't be complete.
(I had hoped to R&D G Model float replacements, but reconstructing this venturi slide seemed critical at the time.)
The double-whammy is that "reproduction" hardware is most often pitiful.
As much as I like helping good people, I fear I must now tell folks with cobbled Tedd Linkerts, and ebay-hero atrocities, that they are on their own.
Just call me an "a-hole" like they do on the tribal forums...

Dumpster Diver's Motto: Seek,... and Ye Shall Find!
I mean it, so Folks should stop calling me,
Not only because I don't have the energy, (and can't hear on a telephone anyway) but Liberty would be soon ruined by the overwhelming demand.
If you are not on my books, its only floats and maybe manifold services at large, ... soon to be: 'maybe' for all 'new' accounts.
If I had a crew on hand, it would be different.
Dumpster Diver's Motto: Seek,... and Ye Shall Find!
Sorry to bring this to the forefront again, but... Its getting out of hand.
Once again, Liberty can only honor float and manifold requests from new accounts,...
Don't get upset with me, especially on the phone, just submit your carburetor service requests from an established account that I know will pay me.

Dumpster Diver's Motto: Seek,... and Ye Shall Find!
tom, how do I know if I have an established account? sorry for a probably dumb question.
Just send me a PM with your real name and address (I can never remember from web names....), and if you are in my postal address files without a red flag, you are "established".
But you will have to be quite patient with any carb requests, as The Schebler Wars have me shell-shocked and gun-shy.
Dumpster Diver's Motto: Seek,... and Ye Shall Find!
Sorry to bump this thread Folks,
But Liberty is still backlogged with overwhelming demand.
Only manifold services and float requests can be honored in a timely manner,
Thanks for this valuable forum,
Dumpster Diver's Motto: Seek,... and Ye Shall Find!
I am just about ready to design, make the patterns, castings and machine my own air cooled four cylinder engine. At least I have the time and means to do that.
It is very ironic that the people who want it carried on ar the same people that put these bikes out of reach in the first place and that are moving them out of the country. So, the old hobby will indeed die with the older generation.
As far as the guy who screwed Cotton over, pull his membership as well as the guy who used his pictures that is now making money with them.

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the wonderful The Broke and The Bookish. This week's list is a Top Ten Freebie. We can write a top ten list for whatever we like. I always find these lists a bit difficult for some reason. I probably over think them.
Anyway, I've decided to pick my Top Ten Unread Books waiting for me to be read on my shelf. Let's face it. There's a hell of a lot more than 10 waiting to be read. I'm a book buying addict. I can't help it.
More Than This– Patrick Ness– I have wanted to read this book for SO long. I shall definitely try and fit it in as soon as I can. I hope I haven't hyped myself up for it!
Perfect Ruin- Lauren DeStefano– I adore Lauren DeStefano's writing, so this book I should really try to read soon.
A Boy Called Hope– Lara Williamson– This book may have a plainish cover, but it sounds adorable. I really need to make time for this book.
Maybe Someday– Colleen Hoover– I've heard good things about this book. I just need to get to it!
Dead To You– Lisa McMann – I was drawn to the cover of this book, and immediately picked it up after reading the synopsis.
The Lovely and The Lost– Page Morgan– Yep, that's right. Another series that I need to continue. There are just SO many.
Fallen Grace– Mary Hooper- The cover of this book is simple, but beautiful. Really looking forward to this one.
A Monster Calls– Patrick Ness– I'm working my way through books by Patrick Ness. This one is certainly on my radar.
Fractured– Teri Terry– Oh look, another series that I need to continue! I enjoyed Slated, so I'm looking forward to reading Fractured.
