Upcoming Lotus Esprit to feature V10 engine used by Lexus LFA
There are speculations stating that the V10 powerplant that delivers up to 500 bhp of output can be the source of power for the Lotus Esprit, which will be released in 2012. The engine is currently being used in the Lexus LF-A, a car that has not yet been launched itself. Being connected with the Japanese carmaker Toyota, Lotus has access to its entire range of parts and components, as well as powerplants from the Lexus line.
This points to the likelihood of an Esprit flagship, costing more than £100,000, equipped with the compact 8,500 rpm V10 unit (to rival the Lamborghini Gallardo), including a less expensive variant equipped with the 5.0-liter, 417 bhp V8 mill from the Lexus IS-F and an entry-level model coming with a Lotus-tuned direct-injection Toyota V6 unit that can come up with 300 bhp.
Although a V8 engine or a V10 unit would definitely boost the profile of Lotus, there is also a possibility of an Eco Esprit. Lotus is moving forwards with more efficient products with lightweight engineering and its keen interest in alternative fuels and hybrid solutions.Read the entire article Upcoming Lotus Esprit to feature V10 engine used by Lexus LFA
Rumor: New Lotus Esprit to use Lexus LFA's V10 engine
A source revealed that the next-generation Lotus Esprit supercar could be powered by the 552hp Lexus LFA V10. Complete details will be announced during the 2010 Paris Auto Show next month. The Esprit in its ultimate form will be showcased; however, the more mainstream version would be available with a V8, which is believed to be sourced from Lexus.
This engine is likely to be a version of the 416-hp 5.0-liter engine that influences the shift upmarket for the sports-car maker. If this significant new strategy works, we have CEO Dany Bahar to thank as this was his creation.
More details will be revealed in Paris but it becomes apparent now that Bahar and his new management team (including Bob Lutz as a consultant) have come to the conclusion that Lotus is underexploited as a brand and that to be profitable, it will have to produce cars that have larger margins.Read the entire article Rumor: New Lotus Esprit to use Lexus LFA's V10 engine
SEMA Show-bound Future Forty by Superformance is a GT40 replica with Ford GT engine
Visitors at the much-awaited 2018 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show – scheduled from Oct. 30 to Nov. 2 -- can expect a wide array of show cars that demonstrate not only various aftermarket parts and specialty services, but also the capabilities for various companies. One of these show cars is the Future Forty from MagnaFlow and Superformance.
Superformance is an American automobile company that creates performance components and full replicas, especially cars from the 1960s like the Shelby Cobra, Daytona Coupe, GT40, and the Corvette Grand Sport. The company and MagnaFlow – a firm that takes pride of its expertise in performance exhaust systems superior catalytic converter technology – have decided enter into a partnership and create a visually exciting fabrication that makes use of a Ford MkI GT40 replica and the engine of a modern Ford GT. The result is what is to be shown at the upcoming 2018 SEMA Show – the Future Forty.
The companies started the Future Forty project by getting a MkI GT40 replica from Superformance. This replica boasts of an exact recreation of the original monocoque and pressed steel roof of the GT40. However, this GT40 replica doesn't feature the usual naturally aspirated V8 engine, and is instead powered by a mill derived from a modern Ford GT – a twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 powerplant.Read the entire article SEMA Show-bound Future Forty by Superformance is a GT40 replica with Ford GT engine
2018 SEMA Show: This Hellephant 426 is 1,000-hp Supercharged Mopar Crate Hemi engine
Mopar just brought a mammoth at the 2018 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. Mopar is introducing a new crate engine that is like an elephant from hell. Dubbed as the "Hellephant" 426 Supercharged Mopar Crate Hemi engine, this new powerplant isn't just massive in size, but also in performance.
Hellephant is essentially a brand-new HEMI-engine that borrows its name from the massive land mammal – because of its large size as well as its ability to deliver huge power figures. As Mopar disclosed, the Hellephant 426 Supercharged Mopar Crate HEMI engine can deliver up to 1,000 hp of humongous output and up to 950 lb.-ft. of torque. This new Hellephant engine is the first 1,000-hp crate engine kit ever offered by an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
To achieve 1,000 hp of output, the Hellephant 426 Supercharged Mopar Crate HEMI engine is developed to be much larger that your usual HEMI engine. In fact, it boasts of 4.0 inches of stroke and bore specs at 4.125 inches. The Hellephant engine features an all-aluminum block, which made it much lighter than other engines of its size.Read the entire article 2018 SEMA Show: This Hellephant 426 is 1,000-hp Supercharged Mopar Crate Hemi engine
The 2018 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show is just around the corner and Chevrolet won't just sit idle. It intends to get impressive at the 2018 edition of the event by displaying three vintage vehicles that are powered by Chevrolet Performance's newest crate engines.
Up for display at the Las Vegas Convention Center from October 30 to November 2, 2018 are: a 1973 Chevrolet Chevelle Laguna powered by the all-new LT5 6.2-liter supercharged crate engine; a 1967 Chevrolet C/10 with the all-new ZZ6 EFI 5.7-liter V-8 crate engine; and a 1978 Chevrolet Silverado installed with the L96 6.0-liter V-8 crate engine.
The new LT5 6.2L supercharged crate engine in the 1973 Chevrolet Chevelle Laguna is derived from mill found under the hood of the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. Tuned to deliver 755 horsepower and 715 lb.-ft. of torque, the LT5 6.2-liter supercharged crate engine is Chevy's most powerful production engine so far. This crate engine employs technologies like a new, larger-displacement supercharger and the carmaker's first dual-fuel system with direct injection and supplementary port injection.Read the entire article Chevrolet bringing three vintage vehicles with all-new crate engines at 2018 SEMA Show
Quite a number of carmakers are already reducing or even stopping their lineup of diesel-powered vehicles, as sparked by the diesel emissions scandal at the Volkswagen Group. Nonetheless, German premium automaker BMW seems not affected by backlash against diesel engines. Instead, BMW has just confirmed its commitment to diesel technology.
As quoted by Australian magazine GoAuto at the 2018 Paris Motor Show, BMW AG board member for development Klaus Froehlich boasted of the carmaker's accomplishments in the field of diesel technology. He remarked that from BMW's perspective, the development of diesel engines is quite dramatic as the carmaker has managed to develop cleaner diesel-powered mills.
Moreover, Froehlich claimed at Paris that BMW has the best diesel engine, adding that all tests have shown that the German premium carmaker's offerings have the lowest emissions among diesel-powered vehicles.Read the entire article BMW confirms commitment to diesel technology despite political opposition
When BMW finally commences sales of the heavily anticipated 8-Series Coupe, it will offer the all-new flagship in two powerful engine variants – a petrol-powered biturbo 4.4 liter V8 unit and a diesel-fueled 3.0 liter biturbo inline six mill. Nonetheless, there are customers hoping that new BMW 8 Series would be offered with a V12 engine or a plug-in hybrid drive, but the German premium has no plans for those.
Carsten Groeber, vice-president of product management at BMW Group, was quoted by Australian magazine GoAuto at the 2018 Paris Motor Show as saying that a V12-powered 8 Series won't happen. The BMW 7 Series -- the M760Li xDrive in particular – is powered by a 6.0-liter V12 petrol engine that can provide 601 hp (448 kW) of output and 590 lb.-ft. (800 Nm) of peak torque. This allows the M760Li xDrive to dash from zero to 100km/h in just 3.7 seconds.
Groeber noted that the V8 engine and the in-line six unit already allows for a perfect weight distribution with the new 8 Series. Since the V12 engine is a very heavy mill, it would destroy this weight distribution, particularly making the front too heavy. He remarked that the V8-powered 8 Series is already a proper sportscar.Read the entire article BMW rules out V12-powered and plug-in hybrid version of new 8 Series
There have been no straight six-cylinder engines at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles since 2007, when Jeep launched the Wrangler JK generation. While Chrysler had been using straight six-cylinder engines since 1964, it eventually decided that it was already enough for this mill.
Just recently, rumors have been sprouting about the possibility of the rebirth of straight inline six-cylinder engines at Fiat Chrysler. These rumors also came up in 2017, but so far, no inline six-cylinder engines have been confirmed or even spied. The latest speculation was a result of a published report from Allpar, the same Web site that reported a similar rumor last year. Of course, these are just speculations, and we don't vouch for their authenticity.
According to Allpar, Fiat Chrysler is reportedly developing a new straight-six engine as a complement to the new GME four-cylinder mills. These smooth yet compact new straight-six engines are to be derived from the new GME four-cylinder units.Read the entire article Fiat Chrysler is rumored to be resurrecting straight six-cylinder engines
It is better not to expect any new diesel engines from Cadillac, the luxury vehicle division of General Motors. After all, following much considerations of a number of factors, the top management of Cadillac has now decided to stop the development of diesel engine within the luxury carmaker.
During the North American launch of the Cadillac XT4 compact crossover in Seattle, Washington, Cadillac President Steve Carlisle revealed that the luxury car brand is indeed re-evaluating diesel technology. He noted that Cadillac has been working on diesel technology. However, the conditions in the markets around the world – especially their attitude towards diesel engines – have been changing more quickly than the company has anticipated.
It is well known that for the past years, Cadillac had been concentrating its engine development works on diesel mills, in particular four- and six-cylinder units. This diesel engine development work forms part of the luxury carmaker to further penetrate the premium car market in Europe. In addition, Cadillac was also planning to create and offer a number of vehicles powered by diesel engines in the US. In fact, the new XT4 was slated to have a version powered by diesel engine, as slated to arrive before or by the end of the decade (2020). GM's luxury division had also expected to introduce diesel engines in more of its models.Read the entire article Cadillac puts diesel engine development on hold due to declining demand
When Bugatti Automobiles unveiled the new Bugatti Divo, it announced that this new performance monster would be powered by the carmaker's eight-liter W16 engine that provides 1,500 PS of output. Boasting of 16 cylinders in W formation – hence its name – the W16 is the same source of power for the Bugatti Chiron. The hypercar before the Chiron, the Bugatti Veyron, also had a W16 as its core.
Now, a source of pride at Bugatti, the W16 engine inside the Divo and the Chiron will have no replacement. This was revealed to CarAdvice by no less than the chief executive of Bugatti Automobiles, Stephan Winkelmann. The hypercar maker's top honcho said that that there would be no new 16-cylinder engine, and the W16 will be the last of its kind.
Make no mistake; the W16 is still alive and kicking. It has been so since it was first installed under the hood of the Bugatti Veyron in 2005 or 13 years ago. In the first iteration of the Veyron, this W16 engine was tuned to deliver 1,001 PS (736 kW or 987 hp) of max output and 1,250 Nm (922 lb.-ft.) of peak torque. The final installment of the Veyron – the Bugatti Grand Sport Vitesse – had the W16 mill develop 1,200 PS (880 kW or 1,200 hp) of max output and 1,500 Nm (1,100 lb.-ft.) of peak torque.Read the entire article Bugatti won't have a new W16 engine, hints on making it more powerful
The engine is probably one of the most complicated elements of your car. Its workings are more complicated than you may think. It features many parts, components and accessories, one of which is the timing belt or the timing chain.
The timing belt and the timing chain aren't the same thing, but they perform the same function -- mechanical engine timing.
They don't coexist simply because they do the same work, which means the engine has either a timing belt or a timing chain. But before this article discusses the difference between a timing belt and a timing chain, it will talk about their importance.Read the entire article What are the differences between a timing belt and a timing chain?
One of the most important parts of any car is the engine. It is considered as the heart of the car, as it is responsible for bringing it to life. Without an engine, no power can be sent to the wheels and the car won't be able to move. Every time your car is driven, the engine is put into work. Eventually, your car's engine will stop from working after some time. After all, engines are designed to last for a long time.
The lifespan of engines aren't measured by years, but by the distance the car has traveled. Essentially, most carmakers design and develop the engines of their cars to last more than 100,000 miles. Theoretically, if you drive around 100 miles each day in a year, you would have broken the 100,000-mile barrier in less than three years. If you are driving 50 miles a day, the barrier would be reached in five and a half years.
In the real world, there have been engines that went the scrap yards even before reaching 40,000 miles. There have also been engines that managed to last more than 300,000 miles on the road. There have been reports of few engines going beyond 500,000 miles. Just lately, more and more engines have been able to go beyond 200,000 miles before finally saying goodbye.Read the entire article What is the lifespan of the engine of your car?
There is no denying that a battery is important in a car. The battery is needed start the engine and is employed in stabilizing, filtering and providing the power for ignition, lights, electrical components and other accessories that need electricity.
Thus, a battery drain is always the dread of any driver. At worst, you won't be able to start your car. If you're in a hurry to leave the garage for a trip, a drained battery can be your nightmare. Most of the time, a drained battery is caused – not by a malfunctioning battery or alternator -- by an electrical issue. This issue acts like a parasite that draws electric power from your battery. In this case, you car maybe suffering from an issue called parasitic draw or parasitic drain.
How would you know if the battery drain is caused by a parasitic battery draw? There is way to find out. But first, you need these tools and materials: a digital multimeter with a 20 amp fuse (as set to read 200mA), gloves and eye protection.Read the entire article How to find the causes of a car battery drain?
The engine is considered as the heart of any vehicle. It basically generates power that will be sent to the wheels, thereby propelling the vehicle. Without the engine, no vehicle can move. But no thanks to continued use and abuse, the car would get very dirty and would need to be cleaned up properly.
Cleaning an engine is job you can do. You can save some money as you don't have to pay for the services of an engine cleaning professional. Nonetheless, it would be a great help if you have a guide on how you should you clean your engine. Below are the steps you can take to clean your car's engine.
Step 1. Prepare the materials needed. You would need a bucket, gloves, bristled cleaning brush (or dish scrubber), water (preferably hot), water hose with trigger nozzle (or a spray bottle), shop vacuum (or an air hose), plastic bags and engine degreaser solution. You may also need safety glasses.Read the entire article 12 easy steps for cleaning the engine of your car
Due to dirt and debris, the windshield has to be cleaned. To do this, carmakers install a cleaning system that sprays washer fluid onto the windshield. Then the wipers are automatically turned on to clean the windshield. The fluid used to clean the windshield is sourced from a container called the windshield washer reservoir.
Usually translucent to allow you to see whether it is filled with washer fluid, the windshield washer reservoir is usually a part that doesn't wear out after some time. This is because the windshield washer reservoir is made from high-grade plastic that are really very durable. Thus, when it sustains some damage, it won't be because of wear and tear. Most probably, the damage was sustained because of other issues like putting in other liquids aside from washer fluid, like water. When water freezes, it causes the reservoir plastic to harden. Once it thaws, the reservoir will sustain some cracks.
The windshield washer reservoir contains a pump that pusher washer fluid through plastic lines to the washer nozzles. The washer fluid is then sprayed onto the car's windshield. If the windshield washer reservoir gets damaged, some of its parts and components might stop working. You might not be able to clear your windshield through the wiper spray. However, there are signs that may manifest if the windshield washer reservoir is failing or in bad shape. Knowing these would help you determine whether it is already time to repair often-times ignored element of the car.Read the entire article Diagnosing problems with the car's windshield washer reservoir
One of the main reasons why the engine of your car keeps running despite of working in a high temperature environment is the installed cooling system. If not for this cooling system, the engine, its materials and lubricants can be damaged by high temperature.
The car's cooling system isn't made up of a single application – it includes the radiator, a cooling fan, a water pump, coolant hoses and a thermostat. The coolant is circulated from the radiator, then around the engine and back to the radiator where it is cooled down anew. This circulation is made possible by the water pump, which is turned by a serpentine belt made from rubber and nylon cords.
Once this belt fails, the water pump wouldn't work, and coolant wouldn't be able to reach places where it should reach. As a result, the engine might overheat. In fact, most engine overheating problems are due to a broken water pump belt.Read the entire article How to tell if the water pump belt is already in bad shape?
Modern vehicles typically have engines that employ Variable Valve Timing or VVT. Because of VVT, a car can achieve more optimal levels of performance and fuel efficiency at any engine speed. Before VVT was developed, the timing for opening and closing the engine valves was only optimized for a single engine speed. But since engine speeds vary, having a single timing means a decrease in both power and efficiency.
Now, VVT can vary the timing of opening and closing of engine valves for multiple engine speeds. When the engine speeds get higher, inlet valves open earlier to allow more air-fuel mixture to enter the cylinders. At normal driving conditions, VVT isn't activated. But when extra engine work is needed, VVT is activated. Then the information will be relayed from the VVT to the vehicle computer by the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) switch.
However, the VVT switch will wear out or fail. This is usually due to lack of basic maintenance. Once the VVT switch fails, the vehicle won't be able to receive any input from the ECU (engine computer unit) to vary the timing of the opening and closing of the valves according to the situation. As a result, the vehicle may experience a decline in performance as well as a decrease in fuel efficiency.Read the entire article Signs that your car's Variable Valve Timing (VVT) switch is failing
In announcement just before the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed, Toyota disclosed that all-new Toyota Supra will stay faithful to its heritage by featuring an in-line, front-mounted six-cylinder engine as well as a rear-wheel drive system. However, Road & Track has come to acquire a document indicating that the new Supra might be also powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
While the prototype version of the Toyota Supra – wrapped in red, black, gray and white camouflage – impressed visitors at the 2018 Goodwood Festival Speed with its daily runs from July 12 to 15, this isn't the final model yet. This working concept essentially confirmed the arrival of the Supra, providing a glimpse on how the final model would look like. But despite showing the Supra to the public at Goodwood, Toyota didn't disclose specific details, but only basic features and estimated numbers.
Not satisfied with the current amount of information available for the new Supra, Road & Track squeezed some connections and managed to get hold of a document from ZF, the German transmission maker that will supply the gearboxes for the Toyota's newest sports car. This document is basically a transmission catalogue for the Toyota Supra, showing the Supra getting multiple entries under both the J29 and GT86 platform designations. According to the document, the power for the Supra will be provided by two engines: a 2.0-liter B48B20 and a 3.0-liter B58B30, both mated to an eight-speed ZF 8HP automatic transmission.Read the entire article Toyota Supra sports car to be powered by four-cylinder and inline-six engines
It is always a good thing to know that there is something wrong with your car as early as possible. Aside from the fact that this would limit the damage that your car has sustained, it would also lessen the cost of repairs.
Remember: the greater the damage, the greater is the cost. The hard truth, however, is that not everyone knows how to determine whether something is already wrong with their cars. So, how would you know if your car is having some problems?
Simply put, there is something wrong with your car if it doesn't look, sound, smell and feel good. You just have to use your senses to know if your car is having some problems. Generally, if something deviates from the usual thing, there could be something wrong. But of course, you can determine where these problems are, and leave the specific diagnosis and repair to your mechanic.Read the entire article How to Diagnose Your Car Problems?
Aston Martin Cygnet was best known as the rebadged version of the Toyota iQ city car. Initially sold in the United Kingdom, the Cygnet was considered a failure in terms of sales, and by 2013, it was dead. However, the Cygnet is resurrected from the dead as a commissioned one-off city car with around 430 bhp of potential under its hood.
Compared to its typical base model, the Aston Martin V8 Cygnet is dubbed as as the ultimate city car, both in looks and in power. Making its global debut at the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed, the V8 Cygnet was commissioned by a customer via the British marque's bespoke personalization service, the 'Q by Aston Martin – Commission' service.
The project started with the steel body shell and panels of a right-hand drive Aston Martin Cygnet, as welded to a roll cage. To accommodate the 4.7-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine from the Aston martin Vantage S, engineers create a new front bulkhead and transmission tunnel from sheet metal. Also fitted into the project are subframes and suspension from the previous-generation Vantage as well as a steel fuel tank housing (boot area).Read the entire article Aston Martin V8 Cygnet is a one-off ultimate city with 430 bhp of output

Mini-megaloads may enter CdA
Massive cargo would be routed onto I-90
Thu., June 9, 2011
After longer-than-expected delays on U.S. Highway 12 and opposition from area residents, huge oil equipment shipments traveling to Canada could be cut down in size and sent through Coeur d'Alene, possibly beginning by the end of the month.
In a presentation to the Coeur d'Alene City Council Tuesday night, an Idaho Transportation Department official said the proposed loads are a smaller version of the megaloads that began heading up the snaking, scenic Highway 12.
According to Terry Harris, executive director of the Kootenai Environmental Alliance, who attended the meeting, the new, cut-down loads will be 24 feet wide and 208 feet long and will still take up two traffic lanes.
Those dimensions didn't faze everyone Tuesday night.
"As far as I'm concerned, I've seen large loads similar to that go through here before," said Councilwoman Deanna Good-lander. "These aren't the huge loads that are going through Highway 12."
Imperial Oil, a Canadian affiliate of ExxonMobil, is cutting the loads down in height in Lewiston so they can travel on U.S. Highway 95 through Moscow and Coeur d'Alene, onto Interstate 90, into Montana, and eventually to Canada.
In Coeur d'Alene, the loads will take a sharp turn from Highway 95 onto Lincoln Way, and from Lincoln to Interstate 90. The oil equipment was fabricated in Korea, brought up the Columbia and Snake rivers by barge to the Port of Lewiston, and is being trucked to an oil sands project in Alberta. The plan calls for the loads to travel at night.
Harris said among other concerns, he is worried whether the loads' shipment will go as engineers plan.
"When they sent the megaloads from Lewiston up the Highway 12 corridor toward Montana, they had a permit so that they wouldn't block traffic for more than 15 minutes," Harris said. "On several occasions, they blocked traffic for 59 minutes, close to an hour. They knocked out power to a couple towns. They scraped against a big rock wall trying to make a turn."
"It was pretty clear they didn't do their homework for that corridor, and so now they're going to try this one, I guess," he said.
Councilman Mike Kennedy said while he needs to gather more information on the plan, he has some concerns about what might happen if the loads get stuck negotiating the tight turns at the height of Coeur d'Alene's tourism season and near Kootenai Medical Center. He wants to be sure the city is prepared for any possible scenario, he said.
"Ninety-five is our north-south lifeline, so there needs to be a serious look at all of the issues surrounding it," he said. "I don't know enough about their disaster plan, frankly."
However, he said, "Unfortunately, I don't think the city has any control in this process. It's a state road going to a federal road, so we don't have full control over either of those."
The plan to move the megaloads over Highway 12 was the subject of a hearing this spring in Boise. A ruling is expected later this month. While it's not clear if ITD is preparing Coeur d'Alene for the possibility of changing the route, in advance of that ruling, Harris and Kennedy got the impression the new route was a done deal.
The state has not issued permits for the Highway 95 proposal. Transportation officials could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
Idaho Transportation Department officials said in an April case hearing that cutting down the loads was expensive and impractical and that Highway 12 was the preferred route.

Study Supports TV Ad Spending
Media buyers say while online video is growing, television is still the place to be for now.
This on the heels of a new Nielsen Media Research study on media usage debunking the myth that young people are abandoning television in favor of watching online video. The study found that 18-24- year-olds are watching only 5½ minutes of online video versus some 3½ hours of TV daily.
Interest is growing
The responses from media buyers suggest that digital pennies won't become dollars anytime soon given the recession, but they doubt the study will lessen marketers' interest in the new sector.
Steve Lanzano, chief operating officer of MPG, says that while he was a believer in the future of online video, "in a recession, we have to find the eyeballs as efficiently as possible and maybe that's not the place to go because the eyeballs aren't there yet."
Andy Donchin, director of national broadcast at media buyer Carat, adds that "traditional media is still very strong and a great influencer. You need to get immersed in digital, but traditional media is still doing the heavy lifting."
But many think the study will do little to dampen anyone's ardor for Internet video.
Ira Berger, director of national broadcasting at the Richards Group, says "a week from now, it will be like the survey never happened. It won't be a perception changer given that the amount of ink devoted to online video is far more than what's going on. The study won't change that because it [online video] is growing."
Double digits
Chris Allen, vice president of video innovation at Starcom USA, says the interest in online video is justified given the growth statistics.
"The idea of full episodes of TV shows online is only three years old. Online video viewing is growing in double digits. TV growth is a tiny fraction of that. Broadband penetration is still growing and new content is coming online, which will make it more compelling."
He says some marketers are cutting back on digital video given the constraints of the recession, while other marketers are investing in learning about a new TV medium that is expected to grow rapidly.
Even so, Allen adds that marketers still want to see innovation where traditional TV is concerned.
"That's why we're looking for advanced metrics, targeting data beyond Nielsen and the ability to roll out addressable advertising."

Step 1 Place the flour on a plate and stir in 1 teaspoon salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pat the chicken thoroughly dry and dredge it in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 2 Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it's hot enough that a piece of the chicken dipped in the oil sizzles, add the chicken, skin-side down. You'll need to do this in two batches. Cook until the chicken has browned, 5 to 6 minutes, and then turn and cook on the other side until it no longer looks raw, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and keep it warm.
Step 3Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the fennel and cook until it starts to become tender, about 3 minutes. Add the the shallots and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the white wine and reduce by 1/3, until it smells sweet and not of raw alcohol, about 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard and add the mushrooms and green olives.
Step 4Add the chicken thighs back to the pan skin-side up, resting them on top of the fennel. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the chicken is done through, about 10 minutes. Check by piercing a thigh deeply with a paring knife; the knife should slide in easily and there should be no bloody juices.
Step 5While the chicken is finishing, chop together the lemon zest and 2 tablespoons of the reserved fennel fronds.
Step 6Divide the fennel and mushrooms evenly among four warmed pasta bowls. Place the chicken on top and sprinkle with the chopped fennel fronds and lemon zest and a little more salt if necessary.

Individuals should consider their physical makeup, body structure, and personal fitness goals when choosing the best yoga South Hills classes. In addition, they should consider the credentials of the instructor and the various types of classes available.
Apart from your fitness aims, you also have to figure out the reasons why you wish to learn this Indian procedure prior to class registration. Many people do this because they wish to utilize its meditative features, while a few do so as a kind physical workout. Still, it utilizes the well-being of both the mind and body in contrast to any other kind of physical workout.
Another factor that you should think about is your own personal emotion. For example, you may wish to do it because you wish to lose weight or improve your relaxation and sleep. You can even combine these two. You can select the most appropriate class that can address your requirements by thinking about the above mentioned factors.
His or her body structure and physical composition are two of the most essential factors in terms of this old Indian method. The most ideal class can be picked if one will taken into consideration his or her physical conditions too. Countless schools offer yoga classes. Physical exercise is the main focus of some schools. The main focus of other schools is the relation between the body and mind.
You can select the most appropriate one by thinking about the requirements of your own body. You should also think about the requirements of your body including the small aches as well as pains and when, where, and how you are most convenient. This should be done so that you can select the most appropriate one.
There are a lot of available yoga types. Individuals will not run out of options to choose from. Therefore, they will most likely choose the type that suits them best. Hatha is one of the time-honored schools which is suitable for beginners because it is gentle and slow. Vinyasa is far more intensive because it is breath-coordinating. Bikram is one of the more contemporary types of this ancient Indian practice which is done in a high-temperature set room. The proper alignment of the body is the focus of Iyengar, while Kripalu focuses on meditation, growth, and healing.

NSW Labor general secretary Jamie Clements has resigned, effective 5pm today after damaging allegations from a former female staffer revealed in the Daily Telegraph.
The terms of his resignation are still being worked out but he has resigned effective 5pm today.
In his resignation statement Mr Clements said:
"Following discussions with both the NSW parliamentary leader and Federal parliamentary leader of the Labor Party, as well as NSW Party President Mark Lennon, I have resigned my duties as General Secretary as of 5pm today.
"While I have done nothing wrong, I have made this decision in the best interests of the Party and my family.
"The version of events reported in media outlets today is completely false. This matter was the subject of a thorough police investigation and a separate independent investigation conducted on the balance of probabilities, neither of which resulted in any charges or findings of wrongdoing on my part.
"I agreed to undertakings in order to spare the Party, my family and all those involved, a difficult and traumatic legal process. Those undertakings were made on a strictly no admissions basis.
"Throughout this process I have maintained a dignified silence. I am disappointed that others chose not to – instead using the media to pursue their agenda.
"But no individual is bigger than the Party – which I have served for 18 years – and I do not want the Party to be distracted from its focus of winning the 2016 Federal Election.
I want to thank those within the Party, and beyond, who have maintained their support for me and the principles of natural justice. And, in particular, I would like to thank my family."
Labor sources earlier revealed Clements had been asking for more than $1 million to leave his job.
The resignation comes after former Labor premier Morris Iemma became the second former premier after Kristina Keneally to call for Clements to resign immediately over the parliamentary sex harassment scandal.
"Go, go forthwith," Mr Iemma said of Mr Clements to The Daily Telegraph.
"He should have resigned earlier."
Mr Clements was yesterday spared a damaging AVO hearing after agreeing not to approach ALP staffer Stefanie Jones.
Ms Jones originally sought an AVO against Mr Clements, after she claimed he tried to kiss her in the parliamentary office of Campbelltown MP Greg Warren.
Mr Iemma said the allegation are of behaviour which is absolutely and totally unacceptable for a senior ranking official of the Labor Party.
"It's an environment in which Malcolm Turnbull has sanctioned one of his ministers for [similar] conduct," he said.
"It appears from the detail that out of Jamie Briggs' [alleged conduct] and the detail of Jamie Clements that [Clements' allegations] are far worse.
"By how much does he put his own personal self interest ahead of the greater good of the ALP ahead of a federal election?"
Earlier, Federal Opposition Leader Bill Shorten was expected to put pressure on Mr Clements to resign today.
Mr Shorten is understood to have spoken to NSW Labor officials this morning, according to Labor sources.
Assistant Secretary Kaila Murnain is favoured to take Mr Clements' job.
News of Mr Shorten's intervention came after former Labor premier Kristina Keneally called for Mr Clements to resign over the Stefanie Jones sex harassment scandal.
There are moves today by senior Labor officials to launch an internal charge against Mr Clements for "bringing the party into disrepute" which could force him out of the job, Labor sources said.
"I've seen the reports again today. I have no tolerance for workplace harassment in any circumstances," Mr Shorten said at a press conference in Tasmania.
"I do expect this matter to be now resolved, full stop.
"This morning i have contacted the state president of the NSW Labor party Mark Lennon and asked him to provide a report to the national secretary of the labor party George Wright and I wait to see that report."
Ms Keneally was more direct in her assessment of the situation unfolding in Macquarie Street.
"It's time to end this farce," Ms Keneally said.
"Jamie Clements must go, and go as soon as possible.
"We face a federal election this year, not to mention an ongoing uphill battle against the Baird Government.
"The party needs strong, clear effective and modern leadership if it wants to be a credible and fighting force for working people in NSW.
"The chaos, the reports into a sexist culture as well as poor governance and accountability and the ongoing issues regarding personal behaviour can no longer be ignored.
"It's time for the party leadership to take a decision about who is the best person to serve as General Secretary."
A NSW ALP source meanwhile said Mr Clements is currently being asked to step down.
"He is being asked to go quietly, if that doesn't work, the calls will become public from senior people," the source said.
ALP frontbencher Jodi McKay has publicly supported Ms Keneally's calls for Mr Clements to stand down.

Spent three days at E.G.Simmons Park in Ruskin. Another favorite to add to the growing list – but not surprising. This IS Florida, afterall.
Simmons is a county park. While there are RV sites available, I chose to visit first on a $2.00 day pass and liked it so much later opted to dry camp overnight.
For most of the day, Mia and I enjoyed our own private beach. I watched three ospreys fishing the bay, and off shore, a flock of what looked like mergansers. Mullet were jumping, Mia settled in for a nap…and before too long I heard the blowing of dolphins. A pair came cruising by, right off our beach..went around the strip of island, and circled back out to the bay.
When we'd had enough beach…well, that's not really possible so let me re-phrase that. When we decided to take a walk and see other areas of the park (that's better) we came upon this black vulture picking at a very old carcass…probably raccoon or possum but I didn't get close enough to really see. Some things are better observed from a distance.

Cardinal George sadly continues to embarrass himself on the subject of gay marriage. He has issued a letter which some unfortunate Catholics will find in their Sunday bulletins. From the Tribune.
Chicago's Cardinal Francis George officially entered the political fray today, issuing a letter that urges parishioners to contact state legislators and voice opposition to gay marriage.
"Civil laws that establish 'same sex marriage' create a legal fiction," George wrote in a letter sent to priests today. "The State has no power to create something that nature itself tells us is impossible."
Someone wiser than me once said that "you cannot go against nature, because when you do, it's part of nature too:" See Figure 1.
There's a fellow somewhere up on I-94 in Wisconsin whose home boasts a sign: Study Natural Law. I think the Cardinal might have studied with him.
Also, Happy New Year.

Our Mission
Ne'emanei Torah Va'Avodah, a religious-Zionist movement that seeks to return Religious Zionism to its roots, works to create a thinking religious culture that is open and self-critical, and encourages a courageous halakhic discourse that deals with the challenges of contemporary times. Its orientation aims to promote the values of tolerance, equality, and justice in religious society and to have a real influence on the Jewish-democratic character of Israeli society.
About US
The Ne'emanei Torah Va'Avodah Movement is a 40-year-old, a-political religious Zionist movement that seeks to return religious Zionism to its roots. Its orientation aims to promote the values of tolerance, equality and justice in religious society, and to have an impact on the Jewish and democratic character of Israeli society. Committed to Jewish law, the movement works to create a thinking, religious culture that is both open and self-critical, and to encourage a constructive Halachic discourse that deals with the challenges of contemporary times. Its focus is not limited to one area or issue but rather seeks to influence the religious culture of the country and to create a religious discourse that will cover all aspects of life.
The movement is concerned about the trend towards extremism in todays religious community in Israel and the isolation of the religious camp from the mainstream of society. Many contemporary rabbis and educators tend to ignore difficult educational issues while Halachic authorities avoid important social questions relating to life in a modern world. In current religious Zionist education, and in the colleges for teacher training, the tendency to adopt Haredi educational models is spreading: the values of democracy are pushed aside, and human rights are trampled, all in the name of religious values.

Fullback Vonta Leach still remains with out a team as of Friday evening as the free agency signing period truly opened, but that doesn't mean the Texans and other teams are not interested in his services.
Mark Berman of FOX 26 in Houston reports thate five teams expressing interest in free agent fullback. The only team his agent would confirm is involved is the Texans where Leach has spent the past five years.
League sources say the other teams involved with Leach are the Cowboys, Ravens, Broncos and Giants. It's not a good sign that Leach is still on the open market, as most players that wanted to stay with their former teams have already been able to come to deals.

About Us
In the spring of 2003, the Cork Baptist Church in MacCurtain St was so full that something had to be done. Cork Baptist decided that a 2nd service would be held on Sunday mornings at the Douglas Community School. About 45 people volunteered to start meeting in Douglas. 3 years later, the number of people meeting had grown and it was decided that the next step was to launch Douglas Baptist Church as a new church in May, 2006.

From Student to Start Up: 9 Tips to Make the Transition Successfully
Michele Clarkson is no stranger to being the master of her own destiny. After studying Fine Art at the Ontario College of Art, she freelanced both as a professional artist and a graphic designer for many years and, as one of the early adopters of the Internet, she even taught herself – through a book – how to write code for building websites.
"This has always been of interest to me so I decided to take the plunge and go to school to learn properly," she explains. After researching college courses, she enrolled at Georgian College in Barrie in September 2013. "Georgian has a very good web development program that offers a lot more variety than other schools and teaches every aspect of web development." This includes designing for usability and accessibility.
"I didn't realize the reality of new legislation in Ontario (see below) that requires employers to make their sites accessible to people with disabilities – for example, to allow screen readers used by the visually impaired to read sites properly," notes Michele. "The more I studied and the more I spotted problems on sites that I checked out on a daily basis, the more intrigued I became with the whole industry. I want to help businesses comply with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) as it comes into play."
Michele plans to launch her new business this spring when she finishes school. Here's 10 tips to how she has been preparing herself for her niche venture:
1. Do your research.
Studying the related legislation and researching any competitors are part of Michele's regular online research. "I'm continuing on my hunt to see where I fit in." This will include attending a library session on research at Georgian College.
2. Invest in education.
In addition to studying Interactive Web Design and Development at Georgian College, Michele is also taking a course through Ryerson on Professional Web Accessibility Auditing. She also hopes to take an exam in the spring to get her International Accessibility Association Professional (IAAP) certification, and believes in taking courses beyond her field, such as business courses.
3. Tap into available resources.
"My coop supervisor recommended that I check out the Henry Bernick Entrepreneurship Centre which is great. The staff are all very willing to give advice and help solve problems. And the Centre also offers great mentorship, which for me, is someone in my own community who understands the area of accessibility. All of this is helping me get the skills needed to be successful and it's energizing to be around like-minded people who encourage me."
4. Prepare a good business plan.
Michele's plan is still in the works and she is also completing the Business Model Canvas which she finds useful.
5. Get your experts in place.
This includes an accountant and lawyer. Michele does her own bookkeeping, using an accounting software package. "It's important to maintain your books; that's a big part of being successful."
6. Pursue partnerships.
Reaching out to potential partners – which in Michele's case is an accessibility consultant who already has many clients and can refer them to her – is a good way to start building business, particularly in a new industry.
7. Determine your pricing model.
"I find that difficult, which is why I'm taking a course this semester that includes quoting on work – something that will help me figure out how to price my own services."
8. Check out financing.
She has had a preliminary talk with HBEC about potential funding options for which she may be eligible to apply.
9. Create a website.
While she takes the time to define all the pieces of her new business, Michele has started with a landing page at micheleclarksondesign.com to ensure she has a digital presence. "It's smart to have an accessible site from the get go," she recommends. "Right now the law only applies to larger organizations with over 50 employees, but eventually all businesses must comply," she explains. "Think ahead and do it now because you want everyone, including people with disabilities, to be able to read your content. A site properly designed with accessibility principles makes it easier for everyone, including the elderly to view – which makes it a smart move considering our aging population."
You can be an excellent student with a good idea and passion for entrepreneurship, but these attributes alone do not guarantee success. Ensure that you are prepared before taking the plunge. You'll be glad you did!
Accessibility legislation comes to the online world
Here is the regulatory context that fuelled Michele's new business idea:
- One in seven people in Ontario has a disability and that number continues to grow as our population ages. Despite assistive technologies to help them, people with disabilities, including vision and hearing impairment, cognitive and learning limitations or physical disabilities, often face many obstacles, including accessing information.
- Ontario has a goal to be an accessible province by 2025 and passed the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). It is a broad initiative to make Ontario accessible to people with disabilities in key areas of daily living by 2025, and all public, private and not-for-profit employers have to meet requirements under the AODA.
- In terms of information and communications, the goal is to have websites and communication vehicles with content that is accessible to all users, regardless of their physical or cognitive abilities and their technological requirements.
- Mandates for website accessibility already exist for companies with over 50 employees. Gradual implementation will extend obligations to these larger firms and eventually to small employers through to 2021.To find out timelines and what you need to do, visit ca/AccessON.

Last months issue saw us looking at First and Second forms, also referred to as AAA and VCVCVCC respectively. Two of the most popular forms, Third and Fourth forms both add sections to expand the story. Click here to go back to the beginning.
Third form, like second form, contains Verse and Chorus sections but what makes it different is the added part known as the Bridge also known as the Middle 8 (which refers to the position in the song and the typical length of the section – eight measures [bars]). The function of the bridge is to add a new perspective to the story and to add a new musical flavour. Lyrically, this might be asking 'what if…?', or giving new info that doesn't fit into a verse structure. A bridge typically doesn't repeat, but usually leads back into the repeated chorus to take us to the end. When writing a Bridge it needs to be seen as a musically new section, so you typically wouldn't recycle chord progressions or melodies from verses or chorus but create a new sound. It may dynamically comedown to a quiet reflection of the rest of the song or build with even a key change (like in "Leave The Pieces" by The Wreckers, written by Billy Austin and Jennifer Hanson). Its strength isn't in a soaring melody and catchiness like a chorus, but in the fact that it is different. In terms of the rhyming scheme, it should also change from what was used previously in the verses and choruses.
Some great examples of this form are; "My Life Would Suck Without You" by Kelly Clarkson (written by Max Martin, Lukasz Gottwald and Claude Kelly) or "Then" by Brad Paisley (written by Chris DuBois, Ashley Gorley and Brad Paisley).
Fourth form is also similar to second form but the new section is known as a Pre-Chorus or Lift. Yep, it's the short section between the verse and the chorus that provides a ramped up section to prepare you for the gloriously soaring chorus. Usually the pre-chorus is repeated exactly the same each time and similar to the bridge, it should have a unique rhyming scheme. Pre-Choruses often use some literary tricks, like rapid fire internal rhymes ("I stole a whole fruit bowl") or alliteration ("Lucky lizards lounged while leering at Lucy"). Also, musically it should build and lead into the chorus. It is these types of ideas that make the Chorus seem catchier.
Trends in songwriting in the last 10 or so years have lead to the expansion of this form to also contain a Bridge. Obviously writers only use this when they have a lot to say and it won't just fit into a couple of verses, a lift (repeated) and a chorus (repeated). For example, "Summer of '69" by Bryan Adams, written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance.
Some Fourth form examples are; "Roar" by Katy Perry (written by Katy Perry, Lukasz Gottwald, Max Martin, Bonnie McKee and Henry Walter) and Taylor Swift's "Sparks Fly".
Next month we will finish up this 3-part series on song forms with a look at the final two forms – Fifth and Sixth forms.

The ranch house floor plan was the American Dream in a box from the late 1940s to the mid 1960s. Sliding glass doors, kidney shaped swimming pools and back yard patios created a new informal way of entertaining guests. Though the ranch house floor plan was the embodiment of casual living, most homes of that era lacked architectural details that would make them memorable. By the 1970s, the ranch style house was replaced by the split level home with Colonial or English details. The 1980s saw a reversal of the ranch house floor plan formula that included showy front entries with grand staircases and vaulted ceilings while the back of the house was left almost naked. The only remains of the ranch house floor plan today are the open floor plans, great rooms and hearth kitchens and the current popular trend of an outdoor room. All leftovers from the original ranch style housing era.
Architectural plans have been a major concern for real estate land owners who invest in building a property to rent or sublet them. 3D and interactive floor plans are clear, color quoted and shaded appropriately to represent different areas of a property. If you are a potential buyer looking to purchase a property, always remember to look at the 3D architectural plan for a better judgment of the property and its surroundings.

You Can Make Your Scalp Grow Hair Back Naturally, Just Follow These Simple Steps.Losing your hair can be an embarrassing situation to go through, but it happens to million of people. While most of the people who lose their hair are over the age of 40, anyone can get bald spots and lose hair. You lose your hair from an illness, a bad diet, but- most of all–hair loss is hereditary. You can make your scalp grow hair back naturally by follow these simple tips.
What You Need:
- Onion juice
- Garlic 4-5 cloves
- 1 egg yolk
How To Use:
- Prepare basic onion juice
- Grate garlic cloves into a mass and add other ingredients.
- Mix well and apply the mask on scalp with circular movements using only fingertips.
- Leave the mixture on for 30 minutes and then wash off with lukewarm water and mild shampoo.
Garlic mixed with onion works great. Two vegetables stimulate blood flow to the scalp, nourishing the hair, and encouraging hair to grow and strengthen. It is an effective natural remedy for weakened hair. Garlic juice removes harmful toxins and prevents excessive hair loss. If you have dry hair or itchy scalp (provoked by dandruff), garlic extract applied on the scalp will give you relief from nasty symptoms.
Protein is full of a chemical called biotin, which helps your skin cells stay healthy and begin growing hair again. Biotin is great for healthy hair, skin and nails. At every meal, consume protein like eggs, peanut butter and nuts.
As strange as it sounds, massaging your head for just 10 minutes per day can provide your hair follicles the stimulation they need to really ramp up the production of new hair cells. The process is incredibly simple, too.
Take your favorite skin care oil (we recommend coconut) and apply a small amount to the tips of your fingers. Gently rub your scalp in circular motions, applying as much pressure as you are comfortable with.
The pressure from your fingers will help increase the blood circulation to your scalp, and help remove any toxins that have built up in that area.
Green tea can make your hair grow back naturally. Green tea lowers the levels of dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, in your body. DHT is one on the main culprits to hair loss, so drinking tea can help your hair grow back in a natural way. Drink at least 24 oz. of green tea every day to help your scalp grow hair back.

Joel Felix. Roundrect roundup, tips on drawing rounded rectangles in Photoshop. Are standard fare on a web and interface designer's utility belt.
So common that the footer on this page itself contains 12 roundrects. So common that it's rare for web pages or apps to not contain a roundrect or two. Unfortunately, pixel-locked rounded rectangles can actually be fairly difficult to draw in Photoshop. (Pixel-locked, meaning all edges fall on an exact pixel boundary, creating the sharpest object possible.) Experienced Photoshop users will probably already know one or two ways to draw a roundrect. 1 — Rounded rectangle vector tool Photoshop's Rounded Rectangle vector tool appears like the ideal candidate for the task, until you realise that the edges it creates are blurry and inconsistent. Fortunately, there's a fairly well hidden option that locks the Rounded Rectangle vector tool's output to the pixel grid. To enable pixel-locked drawing for the Rounded Rectangle vector tool, check the Snap to Pixels option in the Options bar.

For those with highly custom, image-based interfaces (like all of our apps), a fair amount of work will be required scaling up elements to take full advantage of the iPhone 4's Retina display. Scaling user interfaces for higher detail displays—or increasing size on the same display—isn't a new problem. Interfaces that can scale are often called resolution independent. In a recent article, Neven Mrgan described resolution independence: "RI [resolution independence] is really a goal, not a technique. If it's a goal, not a specific technique, then what techniques exist? Fluid layouts While not strictly a resolution independent technique, using a fluid layout can help an app grow to take advantage of a larger window or screen by adding padding or changing the layout dynamically.

Be persistent: A lesson from America's Next Top Model contestant Victoria Henley
by Heather Hollermann
Heather Hollermann
"It was a whirlwind," Victoria Henley said of her experience on America's Next Top Model.
A model from the beginning, Henley got her start in ads as a baby. When she got older, she often watched America's Next Top Model, took part in modeling lessons and got her first magazine subscription to Vogue, which opened her eyes to fashion. One fateful day, she saw an ad for America's Next Top Model -- they were holding auditions!
Henley was one of 36,000 other aspiring models to audition; she was offered a contract as a semi-finalist. Another month passed before they flew her out to Beverly Hills. Henley, alongside the 30 other girls that were selected, went through a rigorous process. They underwent psychological evaluations and blood work. They were each assigned an assistant who, Henley swears, called 15 times a day. These assistants kept logs and asked dozens of questions, ensuring they were interesting enough for television. "You're basically exhausted once it's time to start filming," she says.
Only 18 years old at the time, Henley began the show very naive. "I grew up a lot," she says. "But I was totally a fish out of water." Homeschooled and family-oriented, Henley found it hard being away from family -- especially her mother, who had been her constant support system. Being filmed in a house with many people of various personalities was an added difficulty. "You need thick skin," she says. "That's the number one hardest thing. The competition wasn't the hardest thing. I loved the competition. It's being trapped in a fish bowl... having someone right there catching everything."
Despite the drama, the grueling schedule and the constant filming, Henley kept her eye on the prize. "The real competition begins when the show ends," she'd tell herself. When her journey on America's Next Top Model ended, she started writing business plans for her future.
Magnifique, the company she started, works closely with models by referral only. They assist with workshops, branding, contracts, look books and much more. Partnering with others in the fashion industry, Henley started building her roster. Magnifique looks to book a wide variety of models -- any size, shape, age, height, race, etc. "A big platform of mine was inspired by diversity," Henley says. "Not limiting it to a specific range or body type. You know, the blonde girl with the small nose and blue eyes who is razor thin." While she acknowledges the beauty in models with that look, Henley is very passionate about acknowledging all types of beauty.
While the fashion industry is growing more dynamic, there is still some prejudice in terms of sizeism and ageism. While curvy models are becoming more accepted, petite models struggle a lot. According to Henley, models over a certain age are rare as well. However, there are some women breaking the barriers. "You wear your first outfit when you're a newborn; and in your 90s you don't just stop wearing clothes," Henley says. "When you see a billboard, you want to see people that look like you."
While the look of a model is important in this industry, it's not the only relevant factor. "One part is the tenacity of the model. It makes a huge difference... My number one piece of advice to models in the industry is to be persistent," Henley says. "You're not going to be right for one company... Refuse to give up if you really love what you're doing and you believe in it."
Henley is very passionate about helping new and aspiring models. She encourages anyone considering a career in the fashion industry to reach out to her. She loves networking, collaborating and looking at portfolios. You can follow her on Instagram @victoriahenley or on Facebook at Facebook.com/quirkyvictoriafanpage. Aspiring models can also email her directly at email@example.com.
Victoria Henley
In addition to being selected out of 36,000 people to ultimately become Top 5 on Cycle 19 of America's Next Top Model, Victoria Henley has also modeled for internationally acclaimed designers/retailer labels and magazines including Mara Hoffman, Nicole Miller, Macy's, Vogue Italia, Runway, Seventeen, Modern Hair and Beauty and many more.
After years of building a strong base of design and editorial contacts, Henley began teaching model workshops and assisting models of all ages, shapes and sizes with building their portfolios, resumes, reels and finding agents. She soon built a large roster of models and started Magnifique Fashion Shows and the Magnifique Company LLC to give models (as well as designers, retailers and stylists) the opportunity to build their resumes, be featured in international magazines, network and be featured on runways across the US.
Through her Magnifique platform, Henley has grown a roster of over 1,500 models, designers and retailers. She maintains true to her body-positive message and non discriminatory policies by booking and working with models of all genders, ages, shapes and sizes.
If you are a model or designer who would like to be featured in an upcoming Magnifique Fashion Show/Competition, please contact Victoria Henley at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Connecting with fans and aspiring industry professionals is one of the aspects Henley loves most about her job, and she hopes to hear from you soon!

The idea is there. The end goal is clear: process efficiency, increased transparency, digital transformation, or a new product innovation to disrupt the market. But… how do you get there? IT and business leaders often have
What is Product Management?
In the simplest terms: product management is a mapped out,
Why is Product Management Important?
To put it bluntly: there are a lot of ideas, a lot of great ideas, that never see the light of day because the person (or teams) responsible for creating them just weren't organized enough or experienced enough to see them through all the way from ideation to creation. Sometimes it's a lack of leadership, or political will, resources, or a shortage of talent. Sometimes it just comes down to having an experienced product manager or product management team to help scope an idea and guide it to creation. Being able to look at an idea, come up with actionable steps, put those steps on a roadmap, and delegate tasks
Try Not to Be Overwhelmed
That all may sound very concerning, but barriers can be surmounted with the right experience and process. Usually a collaborative approach is key. Collaboration breaks down each step of the process, making sure the right team is engaged and has clear, measurable goals for each milestone. The client is involved in every step of the process. This allows for a well-organized, iterative process that doesn't leave too much on any one person's plate but allows for time-sensitive project completion with clear milestones.
What Goes into Successful ProductManagement?
This answer is more complicated than just a simple, bulleted list can convey, but there is a group of key responsibilities and tactics that trend in successful product creations:
Roadmap, Hard-Set Priorities, and Transparency
Road blocks happen. There will be times where a team or person wants to circumvent the roadmap because they believe one aspect of the project holds priority over another. In successfully managed product roadmaps, the first step after setting the roadmap is presenting it to all stakeholders and producers so that everyone understands each step of the process and what priority it holds. It's possible this will be challenged. But with full
Prioritize While Balancing the Needs of Customers and Stakeholders
Almost every company or team will have to deal with limited resources for product development at one point or another. This just means that some features or initiatives will have to work on a tighter budget for the benefit of another. This can be difficult to traverse, but a balanced product management roadmap will do its best to account for these needs in advance. When the time comes to make a difficult call that may displease a stakeholder, the product management team will be ready and able to act based on the previously-presented priorities.
An Occasional "No"
One aspect of iterative design that is both beautiful and challenging is that at any point in the design or testing phases a new idea or feature can be identified as a great addition to the product. Sometimes this is welcome and leads to an overall better product, but sometimes too many ideas or amendments can weigh down the process and cause a roadblock.
While it may be difficult, being ready to say "no" to an idea or change, even just for a short amount of time, might be what makes it possible to launch a product on time. This doesn't mean shutting anyone down or discouraging team members. However, sometimes new ideas can wait until after a product has been launched to flourish and be implemented in the best-possible-way without holding up the product's launch.
Any decision being made within the product management process should be made with evidence when possible. Showing facts, proof, and research to back up a design choice or prioritization is a great way to make all teams see a strategic choice as being well-thought-out and without favoritism.
A Product is Born
Product management can be overwhelming, but with the right training and

There is a sacredness in tears.
They are not the mark of weakness,
but of power.
They speak more eloquently
than ten thousand tongues.
They are messengers of
overwhelming grief ...
and unspeakable love.
- Washington Irving
Those who don't know how to weep
with their whole heart,
don't know how to laugh either
- Golda Meir
The soul would have no rainbow,
Had the eyes no tears.
- John Vance Cheney
Tears and laughter cleanse the heart.
- jlh
Are you holding back long-suppressed emotions? Let your feelings flow, right now.
While some of us wear our emotions on our sleeve, others keep feelings bottled up for decades. Strike a balance. If you are suffering with unexpressed frustration or grief, let the tears flow. Then find a friend to laugh with. Laughter, however artificial it feels, lightens the saddest moments and bonds us to family and friends.

The theme for Anna Sui 2015 Autumn Collection is all about the secret to amazing skin: just one swipe to reveal radiance and achieve perfection… It's all about the base to leave your skin glowing! Read on to know my picks 🙂
Anna Sui Illuminating BB Cream, SPF 30 PA++,SGD $39
This high-functioning BB Cream works as a sun block, primer, foundation and skincare. One can expect to achieve glowy, pore-less, plump skin that's long wearing with continuous moisture. The coverage is light to medium, making it ideal for daily usage, but you'll still need concealers for major blemishes.
Anna Sui Illuminating BB Cream comes in 2 shades: 01 light beige and 02 medium beige, I'm using the latter as seen above. The honey-like texture feels rich and moisturising, yet easily glides on my skin, leaving me with dewy, pore-less skin. Due to its rich texture, I was initially concerned that this BB cream will be too much for my oily skin in this humid weather but thank goodness my worries were for naught. It stays put the entire day without streaking, and even survived my mookata feast.. I'm impressed!
Anna Sui Loose Face Powder N, SPF20 PA++, SGD$65
And here comes my favourite Anna Sui product: loose face powder! Anna Sui's loose powders are always so finely milled to keep my shine at bay without looking powdery/ dry at all. This face powder uses the trick of light to leave skin looking pore-less and flawless, basically the finishing trick that vanishes into your skin!
Anna Sui Loose Face Powder N comes in 3 shades: 200 Purple lucent (with silver pearls), 700 light beige and 701 natural beige. I'm using #701 and it basically works as either additional coverage when I'm using my Anna Sui Illuminating BB Cream, or for lazy days when I want minimal fuss-free coverage to give the illusion of smoother skin whilst controlling the shine.
You can also Anna Sui Loose Face Powder N Refill at SGD$48
So here's featuring shade #200 – my absolute must-have finishing powder. This is especially ideal if you have dull and sallow skin and would love to have your skin looking much brighter and radiant to cancel out the yellow tone. Due to its very fine shimmer, you can use it either as highlighter or all over healthy looking glow, as for me~ I love patting it all over my T-Zone and jawline since it's long-lasting with pretty awesome oil control 🙂
#MOTD with my dearest Linda! I was using Illuminating BB Cream #02 & Anna Sui Loose Face Powder N #200 (on T-Zone) when I was still a blonde.. x

Governor Receives Nominees to Government Accountability Board
MADISON, WI – The Government Accountability Candidate Committee today nominated four former Wisconsin judges to fill an upcoming vacancy on the Government Accountability Board due to the expiration of the term of Judge Thomas Cane.
The committee selected the Honorable Gary L. Carlson of Medford, the Honorable Harold V. Froehlich of Appleton, the Honorable William A. Jennaro of Milwaukee, and the Honorable Elsa C. Lamelas of Shorewood from a field of seven applicants.
- Judge Carlson served as a Taylor County Circuit Court Judge from 1980 to 2008.
- Judge Froehlich is a former Wisconsin Legislator and Member of Congress who served as an Outagamie County Circuit Judge from 1981 to 2011.
- Judge Jennaro served as a Milwaukee County Court Judge and as a Circuit Court judge for 12 years before leaving the bench in 1984 for private practice.
- Judge Lamelas served as a Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge from 1993 to 2012.
The names of the four nominees were sent today to Governor Scott Walker. By law, the Governor must appoint one of the four judges to serve on the Government Accountability Board for a six-year term. The appointment must be confirmed by a two-thirds vote of the State Senate.
Judge Cane was an original member of the Board, appointed in 2007. He chose not to apply for a second term. Judge Cane's term will end May 1, or when the Governor appoints a successor, whichever is later. The six G.A.B. members serve six-year staggered terms, and Judge Cane's term is the fifth to end since the G.A.B. was created in 2007.
The Candidate Committee is made up of four sitting Wisconsin Court of Appeals judges: Judge Ralph Adam Fine of District I in Milwaukee, Judge Paul F. Reilly of District II in Waukesha, Deputy Chief and Presiding Judge Michael W. Hoover of District III in Wausau, and Presiding Judge Paul Lundsten of District IV in Madison. They are required to submit a minimum of two names to the Governor for each vacancy, but may submit more.
Candidate Committee members were selected at random on February 12, 2013, by the Chief Justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court for a two-year term. They are charged with nominating individuals to serve on the G.A.B. from a list of applicants, all of whom must be former elected judges.
For more information about current members of the Board, visit http://gab.wi.gov/about/members.

I had the absolute luxury of running a 1:1 workshop on the Isle of Harris recently – an island in the Outer Hebrides on the West coast of Scotland that should be visited at least once by everyone and yes, you must take a camera.
The landscape is a photographers dream with a coastline and beaches you will simply fall in love with. The colours – even on a dull day – are sublime and the water really is tourquoise as it laps (or crashes) onto the silver sands with barely a footprint to be seen on the huge, largely empty and unspoilt bays.
Travel to Harris – if going by land – is not a short journey, involving a ferry from Skye or Ulapool. You will drive through some spectacular countryside and once there the very quirky coastal roads will amuse and perhaps frustrate you – be patient, slow down and embrace the gentle pace – Harris, for me anyway, is a spiritual, tranquil and calming location. Sure the weather can be wild and unpredictable, but isn't that part of its charm and a factor in the ever changing light – one minute dark and foreboding, the next moment golden as it falls across the contours of the land.
Just go – you won't be disappointed.

text: Plasma cholesterol lowering (PCL) slows and sometimes prevents progression of atherosclerosis and may even lead to regression. Little is known about how molecular processes in the atherosclerotic arterial wall respond to PCL and modify responses to atherosclerosis regression. We studied atherosclerosis regression and global gene expression responses to PCL (>= 80%) and to atherosclerosis regression itself in early, mature, and advanced lesions. In atherosclerotic aortic wall from Ldlr(-/-)Apob(100/100)Mttp(flox/flox)Mx1-Cre mice, atherosclerosis regressed after PCL regardless of lesion stage. However, near-complete regression was observed only in mice with early lesions; mice with mature and advanced lesions were left with regression-resistant, relatively unstable plaque remnants. Atherosclerosis genes responding to PCL before regression, unlike those responding to the regression itself, were enriched in inherited risk for coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction, indicating causality. Inference of transcription factor (TF) regulatory networks of these PCL-responsive gene sets revealed largely different networks in early, mature, and advanced lesions. In early lesions, PPARG was identified as a specific master regulator of the PCL-responsive atherosclerosis TF-regulatory network, whereas in mature and advanced lesions, the specific master regulators were MLL5 and SRSF10/XRN2, respectively. In a THP-1 foam cell model of atherosclerosis regression, siRNA targeting of these master regulators activated the time-point-specific TF-regulatory networks and altered the accumulation of cholesterol esters. We conclude that PCL leads to complete atherosclerosis regression only in mice with early lesions. Identified master regulators and related PCL-responsive TF-regulatory networks will be interesting targets to enhance PCL-mediated regression of mature and advanced atherosclerotic lesions. Author Summary The main underlying cause of heart attacks and strokes is atherosclerosis. One strategy to prevent these often deadly clinical events is therefore either to slow atherosclerosis progression or better, induce regression of atherosclerotic plaques making them more stable. Plasma cholesterol lowering (PCL) is the most efficient way to induce atherosclerosis regression but sometimes fails to do so. In our study, we used a mouse model with elevated LDL cholesterol levels, similar to humans who develop early atherosclerosis, and a genetic switch to lower plasma cholesterol at any time during atherosclerosis progression. In this model, we examined atherosclerosis gene expression and regression in response to PCL at three different stages of atherosclerosis progression. PCL led to complete regression in mice with early lesions but was incomplete in mice with mature and advanced lesions, indicating that early prevention with PCL in individuals with increased risk for heart attack or stroke would be particularly useful. In addition, by inferring PCL-responsive gene networks in early, mature and advanced atherosclerotic lesions, we identified key drivers specific for regression of early (PPARG), mature (MLL5) and advanced (SRSF10/XRN2) atherosclerosis. These key drivers should be interesting therapeutic targets to enhance PCL-mediated regression of atherosclerosis.
