Awtely History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The name Awtely is part of the ancient legacy of the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. It is a product of when the family lived in the village of Audley in Staffordshire.
Early Origins of the Awtely family
The surname Awtely was first found in Staffordshire, where they the name dates back to the Roll of Battel Abbey which lists the name Audeley whose family originated at "Verdon, whose chief seat was at Alton Castle, in the northern part of Staffordshire. In the immediately succeeding reigns few families held a more conspicuous place in history, but its most distinguished member was the renowned James de Audley, Lord Audley, the hero of Poictiers." [1]
"[Audley, Staffordshire] was originally given by Hervey de Stafford to the barons of Aldeleigh, or Audley, who erected the baronial residence of Heyley Castle, commanding an extensive range of the surrounding country." [2]
One of the earliest records of the family was Henry de Audley (1175-1246), the English Royalist Baron, son of Adam de Alditheley, who held Alditheley, Staffordshire from the Verdons in 1186. He was Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire 1227 and 1229. His son was James de Audley (1220-1272), another English Baron. Nicholas Audley, 1st Baron Audley of Heighley Castle, Staffordshire (1289-1316), was an English peer. His only surviving son was Nicholas Audley, 3rd Baron Audley (c.1328- 1391), born in Heighley Castle, Staffordshire, he was later known as Lord of Rougemont. Through marriage he was granted the Lordship of the Isle of Man in 1310 and his descendants would later become King of Mann. [3]
Sir James Audley (or Audeley) KG (c. 1318-1369) was one of the founders of the Order of the Garter. He was the eldest son of Sir James Audley of Stratton Audley in Oxfordshire.
All of the above claim a common heritage from the aforementioned Henry de Audley (died 1246) as all share a similar Coats of Arms but with variations to depict their distinctive branch.
Early History of the Awtely family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Awtely research. Another 279 words (20 lines of text) covering the years 1086, 1185, 1289, 1312, 1316, 1316, 1369, 1377, 1488, 1544, 1533, 1544, 1662, 1674, 1780, 1524, 1577, 1662, 1488, 1544, 1523, 1529, 1535, 1536 and 1620 are included under the topic Early Awtely History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Awtely Spelling Variations
The first dictionaries that appeared in the last few hundred years did much to standardize the English language. Before that time, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. The language was changing, incorporating pieces of other languages, and the spelling of names changed with it. Awtely has been spelled many different ways, including Audeley, Audley, Audeleye, Awdelye, Audeleygh, Aldeoalega, Audsley, Audless and many more.
Early Notables of the Awtely family (pre 1700)
Distinguished members of the family include Edmund Audley (d. 1524), English divine, Bishop of Rochester, the son of James, Lord Audley, by Eleanor his wife.
Hugh Audley (1577-1662), also known as The Great Audley, was an English moneylender, lawyer and philosopher.
Thomas Audley (1488-1544), was a Baron seated at Walden in Essex, who became Lord Chancellor of England. He entered Parliament in 1523 and was Speaker of the...
Migration of the Awtely family to Ireland
Some of the Awtely family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt.
Migration of the Awtely family
Thousands of English families in this era began to emigrate the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. Although the passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe, those who made the voyage safely were rewarded with opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first Awtelys to arrive in North America: John Audley, who sailed to Salem, Massachusetts in 1630; William Audley to Barbados in 1635; Margaret Audless to America in 1746; W.R. Audling to Baltimore in 1823.

Breakout Candidate: Kenny Golladay, WR-DET
Golladay has the talent to put up some good numbers and the potential is certainly there. It'll just take a few games to see how Detroit's offense operates. If this was 3 years ago, when they passed 65% of the time, he'd likely be a Top 15 player at the position. It's a fact that he's taken over as the Lions lead Receiver and that merits value alone. - August 2019

A significant break-up or divorce is filled with substantial loss and grief. You lose your partner, your identity as a couple, having a two-parent household, income, family members, and perhaps even friends. You find yourself not only grieving the loss of your relationship but also the picture or dream of what you thought your life was going to look like.
After my divorce, I attended a divorce support group where I witnessed a wide range of grief. As the attendees progressed through their separation and divorces, they entered the different phases of grief. The five stages of grief that were first proposed by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in her 1969 book On Death and Dying are Denial and isolation; Anger; Bargaining; Depression; & Acceptance. Grieving people do not necessarily experience all of them nor do they go through these stages in the same order.
What was apparent was that the women in the group had an easier time expressing sadness and guilt and the men had an easier time expressing their anger. Unfortunately, the men's anger often felt triggering for the women in the group as it reminded them of anger or rage they saw displayed by their exes. Some of the participants had been divorced for many years but were still stuck in their grief and unable to move forward. Witnessing their pain strengthened my own resolve to face my grief head on.
Getting Stuck
Grief is an opportunity to process your loss and the feelings that accompany it. But it's so damn painful, we often do just about anything to avoid confronting it. Alcohol, excessive screen time, and dating too soon are all common ways people avoid this pain and numb out. So what happens when you avoid your pain instead of facing it? Avoiding divorce grief can lead to depression and can also get you stuck in the bargaining phase. You've probably seen a friend or family member get stuck there. I ended a relationship with a man for this very reason. He incessantly talked about how his ex-girlfriend and ex-wife disappointed him and was obsessed with their behavior instead of processing his feelings of loss. It kept him stuck in the past and he missed out on what his current relationship could offer him.
Common Areas of Divorce Grief
You cannot grieve what you cannot name. I truly believe that in order to fully grieve, you must understand what you've lost. Take a look below at some of the common themes or areas of divorce grief to help you identify your losses.
Moving through the Pain
Now that you have a better understanding of what you must grieve, take some time to journal or talk with a trusted friend or therapist. If you need extra support, hire a divorce coach to talk through your feelings and move you forward. Sometimes people get stuck in their own story, and are unable to move past what happened to them, especially if they were left. This can be compounded by a lack of trust in both other people and themselves. The light and the end of the tunnel, or acceptance of the loss, can feel a long way off but I promise you the only way to move on with your life, is through the pain, not around it or over it. Try not to put a timeline on your grief – and don't let others impose their timeline on you either. Your journey is your own, and this should be honored and respected.
Having trouble naming your divorce loss or find your self getting stuck in your story? Contact me and together we will get you moving through your grief.

The Preservation Division of the Radio Preservation Task Force is launching a series of blog postings to feature radio collections around the United States in order to illustrate the variety these collections offer, and the cultural history they preserve. The first such collection is the Arthur B. Church KMBC Radio Collection, located in the Special Collections and Archives of the University of Missouri-Kansas City. We reached out to Derek Long, Head of Marr Sound Archives at UMKC, for information on this collection, and we are grateful for his time in answering a set of questions about it.
The collection itself primarily spans the time frame from the 1930s to the 1950s, containing 5 boxes of paper materials (business records, correspondence, ephemera), and 2600 sound recordings that capture classic programs from the Golden Age of Radio, and a considerable set of recordings related to the Second World War.
Derek Long elaborates:
One of my favorite recordings was uncovered just recently because it resided on a broken glass lacquer discs that we couldn't previously digitize in-house. We received a CLIR Recordings-at-Risk grant in 2020 to have some of our severely damaged lacquer discs in our collections digitized by the IRENE technology at NEDCC. This particular broadcast came from off the coast of Cherbourg, France, during World War II and was broadcast on KMBC on July 1, 1944. The news correspondent, Charles Collingwood, was recording from aboard a duck boat (or PT boat) on its way out to a sinking ship that had been hit by a mine. Other boats had arrived earlier to rescue the sailors and the correspondent narrates the final sinking of the ship, including witnessing, at the very end of the broadcast, the successful rescue of the ship's cat!
The initial acquisition of the collection came in 1996 with a donation from Arthur B. Church, Jr., and his wife, Virginia with eleven additions following over the years. Long explains how the process began with a tip from a researcher:
Mr. Church's father, Arthur B. Church Sr., owned and operated KMBC and other radio and television stations from the 1920s through the late 1950s. KMBC produced radio transcription programs for distribution on the CBS network. When KMBC was sold, Mr. Church transferred the discs and stampers for these programs and other lacquer discs to his home in Colorado Springs. The collection came to the sound archives from a tip from Teddy Dibble, a filmmaker who was working on a documentary about local children programming for KCPT, Kansas City's PBS affiliate. In the spring of 1996, while researching resources for the documentary, Dibble contacted Mr. Church about possible recordings and other material for the project. After learning about Mr. Church's collection, Dibble contacted the staff of the sound archives, who then contacted Mr. Church about donating the collection. The Dean of the libraries and sound archives' staff visited Mr. Church and negotiated the donation of the collection which was then appraised and transferred to the sound archives. Over the years the KMBC collection has been supplemented by additional gifts from Mr. Church and other donors, most notably television station KMBC.
In the fall of 1998, a staff member of KMBC contacted the sound archives about a large cabinet containing metal boxes of 16" lacquer discs stored in the basement of the KMBC studios. The discs had been recorded during the 1940s by a KMBC engineer, who then stored them away for posterity. Sound archives staff visited KMBC, viewed the collection and negotiated the donation. The collection was transferred to the sound archives in early 1999 and added to the Arthur B. Church Collection. The collection was then renamed the Arthur B. Church KMBC Radio Collection.
The collection is digitized, discoverable, and accessible in great detail thanks to a 2011-2012 Humanities Collections and Reference Resources grant funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Different kinds of media are accessible as follows: – The audio recordings in the collection are digitized, cataloged (also included in WorldCat) and accessible upon request, either directly or via Interlibrary Loan. – The paper materials are processed and documented in a finding aid. The photos have been digitized, descriptive metadata has been created for them, and they are available in UMKC Libraries' Digital Special Collections. Lastly, Long provides the welcome news that the collections is widely accessible for research access:
The Church family holds rights to the original productions for any commercial use but otherwise we have an agreement that we can make those materials available to users. There are some underlying rights for certain content, for example music recordings, but we preserve and make all materials in the collection available for research.
The Arthur B. Church KMBC Radio Collection exemplifies the kind of local, regional, and national history that a preserved and accessible radio collection can restore to public access, while honoring the work of those who created and maintained the collection and the materials in it. We hope you have enjoyed learning about it as much as we have, and we invite readers to submit suggestions for future collections to feature!

What comes to your mind when you hear the term words of domestic violence?
Typically, people associate violence, including domestic violence, physical violence, and assault, resulting in injuries and wounds.
The sad truth is that this type of physical assault is only one amongst the various kinds of domestic violence. There are several types of categories concerning domestic abuse and physical violence. Each category of physical violence has its own set of mortifying consequences. Physical assault puts the victim at the risk of death as well. Not to mention the impact on the victim's mental and emotional health who undergoes such abuse for a more extended period.
Read on to learn more about the different categories of physical abuse.
Controlling and Manipulative Behavior
This is one of the first red flags that are typically ignored until it gets too late. A controlling person or spouse tries to dominate the victim with the use of manipulation and physical abuse. Often, the abusers believe that their controlling actions are justified due to the victims' inferiority. Such sort of control is usually subtle at first. Gradually, it develops into something more sinister until the victim feels odd and conscious about it.
The following are the signs that your significant other is abusing you via control:
1. Your car is getting checked regularly regarding mileage and petrol consumption.
2. Your phone calls, emails, and text messages are being monitored. In some cases, the victims cannot make or receive phone calls without bringing it into their partners' knowledge.
3. The victim cannot choose their clothing or appearance. They must seek the approval of their partners. Often, the victims are manipulated and forced to dress up a certain way. Sometimes, they are asked to show more of their skin or to cover all up.
4. The victims might find their partner as overly obsessive and jealous. Their abusing partner might return home unexpectedly. Remember, this can appear as a loving and caring gesture. However, soon this type of controlling behavior can develop into something sinister. Therefore, one should keep watching out for the initial subtle signs like these of domestic violence.
5. If you find that your personal space is being invaded more often. This is also a subtle yet significant sign of physical abuse to follow.
6. Sometimes the abusers use controlling and manipulative tactics to make their victims believe that they can never survive without them (their abusive partners). And that they are so lucky to have them in their lives. This sort of control causes the victims to develop co-dependency on their abusing spouses, which can further lead to their emotional and mental well-being.
7. More often, vindictive abusers use children as their controlling tools. For instance, they might ask the children to spy on their mom while they are off to work. They might also kidnap the children and threaten to kill them if their partner decides to leave them or seek help from the police.
Physical Assaults
Suppose you find your partner abusing you by using aggression or threatening to kill you and physically harm you in any way. In that case, you are the victim of physical abuse. Also, suppose your partner is withholding your physical needs, such as food and medication. In that case, this falls in the category of physical assault.
The following are massive indicators that your significant other is physically assaulting you:
1. You are getting kicked, hit, slapped, choked, punched, scratched, pinned, shot, drowned, burnt, and pinched. The list could go on. But if your partner is waving a gun or knife at you while threatening to kill you, then you are being physically abused as well. Usually, such shoves and bites are deemed as harmless and accidental. However, it is essential to know that no physical assaults should be brushed off while saying it was an accident. Remember, such accidents might kill you.
2. If your physical needs are being withheld or purposefully ignored, you are at the receiving end of physical abuse. If your sleep is getting routinely interrupted, you are being denied food and medication. You are the victim of physical violence. Also, if you are being kept locked inside and unable to leave the house. This is deemed as domestic violence as you are being held hostage against your will.
3. If your significant other is threatening to harm your children or pets, then this is physical abuse. The same goes for the threat of destroying your property.
4. Lastly, if you find that your partner is repetitively hitting the wall, banging doors, or hitting other objects during a heated argument. This kind of behavior falls into the category of physical abuse. Throwing angry fits and destroying things in anger should not be tolerated.
Sexual Abuse
Many victims are too afraid to talk about sexual abuse, which is quite understandable due to guilt and shame. Even in a marriage, it is crucial to have consented sex. The absence of which indicates that one is being sexually abused.
The following are signs that one is being sexually abused:
1. The use of force, guilt, control, and manipulation while not taking the victim's wish and desire into account for intercourse. This also includes forcing the victim to engage in sexual activities with others and have them indulged in unwanted sexual experiences.
2. If the victim cannot make an informed decision about sexual activities but is forced to have sex. This usually happens when the victim is too young, intoxicated, drugged, or financially dependent on the abuser. This might also happen to an individual who is too old to understand what is going on.
3. Sexual abuse also includes the act of inappropriate touching and physical advances. Making fun of the victim's sexuality and their physique also falls into this category.
4. If you find your partner falsely accusing you of infidelity and delimiting your physical contact with the outside world, then this is sexual abuse. If your partner engages in adultery and teases you about it, this is also sexual abuse.
5. Last but not least, the act of withholding sex is also part of sexual abuse.
Verbal Abuse & Name Calling
Usually overlooked by many, verbal abuse includes derogatory words in any language that cause embarrassment, shame, threat, and emotional pain to the victim.
The following are the indicators that one is being verbally abused:
1. They are being threatened to be killed or hurt. This can include the victim's children, pets, reputation, and property.
2. They are being called names, such as stupid, retarded, ugly, bitch, etc.
3. The victims are being told that they are ugly, unattractive, a failure, and undesirable.
4. The victims are made to believe that they are unworthy and that they deserve the name-calling.
5. The victims are being yelled at, terrorized, rampaged against, and ostracized by refusing to talk to them.
Emotional Abuse
Emotional abuse serves the purpose of undermining the victim's sense of worth by exploiting their vulnerability. The abusive behaviors that fall into this category include but are not delimited to the following indicators:
1. The victims are criticized and insulted in a way that undermines their confidence. This aspect might consist of being publicly humiliated through rejection or ridicule.
2. Emotional abuse also includes threatening to kill oneself along with the victim if they refuse to obey.
3. The abusing partners use manipulative statements that create confusion. Gaslighting, for instance, is a manipulation tactic used by the abusers to distort the victim's sense of reality. They (the victims) are purposefully fed lies while facts are continuously denied. This kind of behavior falls into emotional abuse and can cause the victims to lose their minds.
4. If the victim finds themselves continually ignored and disregarded, it can take a severe toll on their emotional well-being. The same goes for the abuser's use of specific actions and behaviors that attack the victim's self-esteem and sense of worth as they feel utterly humiliated.
5. The abusers tend to feed the victim with negativities, such as telling them how mentally sick and unstable they are. The use of psychological and emotional manipulation to force the victim to act according to their partner's wishes and demands is a severe emotional abuse instance.
Who can Help Victims of Domestic Violence?
Find yourself in any of the situations mentioned above. You will have to understand the serious nature of it. Never accept any kind of abuse. No matter what the problem is. Even if you are financially dependent on your partner or share children with them. There is always a way out. In many regions, the lawyers and seeking the court's help are a sure way to get out of domestic abuse. For instance, the domestic violence attorney in San Diego can assist you in obtaining a restraining order against the abuser. Since these professionals know the complexities of laws, they will help you represent your case in front of the court while protecting your rights and life.

Brackish Water Treatment Process
Brackish Water or Well Water is water that is more salty than potable fresh drinking water, in other words is has a higher salinity concentration levels, but not as much as sea water. The word originally deviate from the Dutch root of "Brak" meaning "salty".
Brackish water condition commonly occurs when fresh water meets sea water. In fact, the most extensive brackish water habitats worldwide are where a river meets the sea.
The term "brack" or Brackish was first used to describe bodies of waters that had been mixed with seawater in the 1500s, Brackish Water was not as salty as seawater, yet very distasteful, and was described as harmful water due to its characteristics and to unique microorganisms that caused human illness .
Brackish water usually contains from 0.5 to 30 grams of salt per liter (500 to 30,000 ppm or mg/L), however, the brackish water salinity concentrations may vary considerably over space and time.
The salinity concentration level used by US Geological Survey classifies brackish water in three categories.
- 1- Slightly saline water contains around 1,000 to 3,000 ppm.
- 2- Moderately saline water contains roughly 3,000 to 10,000 ppm.
- 3- Highly saline water has around 10,000 to 35,000 ppm of salt.
Brackish Water can be found in wells, boreholes, mangrove swamps, inland lakes and seas. The Caspian Sea which is very famous for the great sturgeons fish (source of the best caviar in the world) is the largest brackish lake in the world with a salinity level of 1.2%, (12,000 PPM) about one third that of normal seawater. The Baltic Sea is another example of brackish water, the Baltic Sea has the least Saline concentrations in the world with a salt concentration of 0.5% (5000 PPM) compared to the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf both with a salt concentration of about 4.5% (45,000 PPM)
Brackish Water Treatment:
Most Brackish Water can be treated with a Reverse Osmosis Water Purification System, however, desalinating brackish water occurs at lower pressure compared to seawater desalination, resulting in more economical process, less energy consumption and more cost efficient.
Treat water with a salinity concentration of up to 5,000 PPM
Treat water with a salinity concentration of up to 10,000 PPM
Treat water with a salinity concentration of up to 50,000 PPM
All Reverse Osmosis Systems require sufficient pre-treatment to ensure proper production, operation and to preserve its operational life. Pre-treatment process is engineered depending on feed water quality, water conditions and flow rates required.
Under sized pre-treatment process may cause a system overload, increasing the plant's internal parts damage and usage, requiring more service and maintenance which will interrupt normal operations more often, and this will reduce productivity and increase cost.
Under sized pre-treatment will also increase scaling, fouling and plugging of the membrane elements which is the most expensive part of the reverse osmosis process.
The kind of pre-treatment system that is used greatly depends on feed water quality. Consequentially, sufficient feed water pre-treatment is dependent on:
· The source of the feed water
· The composition of the feed water
· The function of the feed water
We always require an exact water analysis report before we commence the manufacturing process of a reverse osmosis project in order to design and build a complete and a correct Reverse Osmosis system with its pre-treatment, fully equipped and fully automated specifically designed and engineered for the specifications, conditions and the requirements of the project.

We love the plugin autoupdate functionality in WordPress, but we really don't want them to update on a Saturday night, potentially bringing a site down and messing up our weekend.
I've made this into a downloadable plugin here: https://github.com/a8cteam51/plugin-autoupdate-filter/
When do plugin autoupdates happen?
Every time someone hits admin:
add_action( 'admin_init', '_maybe_update_plugins' );
This function checks if plugin autoupdates have happened in the last 12 hours: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/5.5.3/src/wp-includes/update.php#L804
So it's not a specific time, but rather it's checking a transient to see when it last happened. It's also not reliant on WP_CRON.
This is good news, because we don't have to worry about hitting a 12 hour window – it will just check if it's happened in the last 12 hours and then run if it's in a predefined window we set.
How do we set time windows for updates?
Method 1: All Autoupdates
Method 2: Plugins Only
Note that this second method respects the autoupdate setting within business hours, so you can still fully disable autoupdates for specific plugins individually.

USD Down, CHF Up. Yen, BoJ Under Pressure – Asia Market Open
What's on this page
See our 3Q forecasts for the US Dollar, Yen and Equities in the DailyFX Trading Guides page
US Session Developments – S&P 500, NASDAQ Composite, US Treasury
A retreat on global benchmark indexes during Monday's US trading session saw the S&P 500 slip about 0.6%. Worries stemming from a slew of poor performing earnings data out of Facebook, Twitter and Intel Inc. last week carried over into this with the tech-focused Nasdaq Composite falling 1.4%. In addition, markets are facing tightening credit conditions out of the US with the Fed rate decision due this week.
The retreat in sentiment also saw the US Dollar fall alongside steep declines in local treasury yields. This allowed alternatively high-yielding currencies like the Australian and New Zealand Dollars to appreciate at the expense of their US counterpart. Meanwhile, the anti-risk Swiss Franc and to a lesser extent the Japanese Yen (which faces the BoJ next) gained.
However, this trading dynamic somewhat reversed course during the end of Monday's session where the US Treasury announced that more borrowing will need to be done during the second half of this year than anticipated. This is expected to amount to $769b. In fact, this estimate would be the largest amount needed since the financial crisis.
The Treasury noted that more borrowing is needed amidst the passage of Donald Trump's $1.5b tax cuts and the $300b spending increase approved by Congress. US 10-year government bond yields soared amidst the anticipated increase in debt supply and the greenback pared some of its losses. Expect details outlining the source of funding on Wednesday.
A Look Ahead – Bank of Japan, Yen
All eyes will be on a highly anticipated Bank of Japan monetary policy announcement amidst increased speculation that the central bank may tweak some settings. The central bank's extraordinary stimulus program coupled with yield curve control has been squeezing commercial bank profit margins given the low rates of domestic return.
This speculation has been driven by gains in local 10-year government bond yields which rose above 0.1% over the past couple of trading sessions. In both cases, the central bank stepped in with an unlimited amount of bond purchases. With that in mind, the Japanese Yen could be muted until this event passes given its close proximity.
The risk here for the Yen will be if the BoJ does nothing and unwinds speculation of policy adjustment bets. Perhaps Governor Haruhiko Kuroda will use this as an opportunity to lay out some forward guidance to gauge the market reaction. Either way, the central bank is facing pressure of rising global lending costs, now compounded by the threat of more US borrowing.
With that in mind, upcoming Japanese jobless data will most likely cross the wires without much notice. The declines in equities also present the risk of being echoed in Asia/Pacific shares. That may fuel anti-risk currencies like the Swiss Franc. Meanwhile, the sentiment-linked Australian and New Zealand Dollars could depreciate.

Retail trader data shows 58.6% of USD/JPY traders are net-long with the ratio of traders long to short at 1.42 to 1. The number of traders net-long is 0.1% lower than yesterday and 41.4% higher from last week, while the number of traders net-short is 11.8% lower than yesterday and 13.0% lower from last week.
We typically take a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact traders are net-long suggests USD/JPY prices may continue to fall. Traders are further net-long than yesterday and last week, and the combination of current sentiment and recent changes gives us a stronger USD/JPY-bearish contrarian trading bias.

Fresh Pasta
A couple of months ago I first made fresh pasta and was amazed at how easy it was to do - it requires just two ingredients and can be done in 15 minutes. In the summer my Mum's hens lay more eggs than she knows what to do with at times and this is a delicious way to make use of them.
If you don't have any eggs or want to make vegan pasta, you can simply swap the eggs for 200g of water.
The method is to simply mix the ingredients together, then wrap in clip film and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before rolling out and cooking. To mix the ingredients you can either use your hands (takes around 10 minutes) or blitz it in a food processor for 30 seconds. At first, it seems like the dough will not come together, but just keep mixing - it will get there eventually.
After refrigerating, you just need to roll out your pasta into whatever shapes you like. The easiest is most likely tagliatelle - you just need a rolling pin, a knife, and some elbow grease. You can also get a pasta roller for fairly cheap which will roll your sheets out in seconds.
One last thing to note is that fresh pasta cooks much quicker than dried pasta - if you chuck this in this boiling water, it'll be ready within 5 minutes. Also, you can leave the dough in your fridge for up to a week before using it.
My carbonara skills aren't quite where I want them to be yet - I'm prone to scrambling the eggs when mixing everything together - but the flavor is that of some of the best pasta that I've had.

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – An Oklahoma County District Court judge ruled Wednesday to put the brakes on a controversial new state law that bans mask mandates in schools. Attorneys say today's ruling allows school districts to basically go back to eight months ago and institute mask mandates as they see fit.
A group called "Moms for Masks" were at the Oklahoma County Courthouse early Wednesday morning before an initial hearing on a lawsuit filed by doctors from the Oklahoma State Medical Association against the Oklahoma State legislature and Gov. Kevin Stitt. The suit claims that Senate Bill 658, the law banning mask mandates in schools, is unconstitutional.
Attorneys for the plaintiff asked Judge Natalie Mai, on Wednesday, to halt enforcement of the law until the lawsuit can be heard, saying the law increases danger to children and could halt in-person learning.
Attorneys for the state argue the law doesn't prevent anyone from wearing a mask, it just prevents mandates.
Ultimately, Judge Mai said it's not the court's place to decide if a law is good or bad legislation, but since the current law allows for mask mandates in private school but not in public, a limited, temporary injunction would go into place next week. Experts say this would be opening the door for schools to put in place a mask mandate as long as parents have the ability to opt their children out.
"Why not take the common sense, logical, medically appropriate steps to try to put a blow in COVID, try to reduce the hospital overload. It makes too much sense," said Chad Taylor, attorney for the State Medical Association.
"This is a first step, a preemptive step, into making a difference for the children," said Melissa Bradshaw of Grandmas for Masks.
Supporters of the law differ on the outcome of the decision.
"We don't believe that there is enough information out there that actually shows that masks work. If masks work and you mask, then what's the problem if other people aren't masked," said Jenni White of Reclaim Oklahoma Parent Empowerment.
Surprisingly, Stitt came out with a statement saying, "This is a victory for parental choice, personal responsibility and the rule of law. I have been clear from the beginning that parents should have the right to make decisions about the health and education of their children."
Stitt reportedly claims the ability for parent to still opt out is a temporary win.
But State Superintendent Joy Hofmeister issued the following statement:
"Today is a victory for families, the safeguarding of schoolchildren and their opportunity to learn in-person. The court's striking of the mask mandate prohibition on SB 658 now enables schools to fulfill their duty to protect and ensure equal protection for all students, including those with disabilities and most vulnerable in our schools."STATE SUPERINTENDENT JOY HOFMEISTER
Attorney General John O'Connor also weighed in, issuing the following statement:
"We applaud Judge Mai's clear recognition that any school mask order must include generous opt-out provisions for Oklahoma parents based on any personal, religious, or medical reason. We continue to believe the choice to wear a mask or not is a decision that needs to be made by children and their parents. We appreciate Judge Mai stayed her very limited injunction until next week. While we disagree that any part of the law is unconstitutional, my office will take the time afforded to us to determine the best legal strategy moving forward."ATTORNEY GENERAL JOHN O'CONNOR
Rep. Sean Roberts, R-Hominy, responded the Mai's ruling granting a temporary injunction against SB 658. The intent of the legislature, according to Roberts, was to create an opt-in masking policy for public schools. The bill was overwhelmingly passed this last session and signed into law.
According to news reports, Mai stated in her ruling that if SB 658 pertained to private and public schools equally, then "the hearing would've been two minutes long and the law would stand." Instead, Mai granted the injunction and said that schools must allow opt-out exemptions until a higher court takes action or a permanent injunction is granted.
"Judge Mai's temporary injunction clearly violates the legislative intent and showcases her incompetence to act as a county district judge," Roberts said. "In the upcoming session, I will be looking at what avenues the Legislature can take in order to remove county district judges or give us the ability to file impeachment charges against these judges. It has been needed for quite some time now."
Roberts went on to cite O.S. Title 21 Section 1280.1, which allows firearms and weapons on school property in certain cases. In particular, he quoted paragraph C, subsection 4, which states:
"A concealed or unconcealed weapon carried onto private school property or in any school bus or vehicle used by any private school for transportation of students or teachers by a person who is licensed pursuant to the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act, provided a policy has been adopted by the governing entity of the private school that authorizes the possession of a weapon on private school property or in any school bus or vehicle used by a private school."
Roberts continued, "If the state has the legal authority to allow private schools to determine their firearms policies, but not public schools, then the Legislature also has the authority to tell public schools that they cannot implement blanket mask policies. This is just another example of judicial overreach and legislating from the bench."
House Minority Leader Emily Virgin, D-Norman, released the following statement in response to Mai placing an injunction on SB 658.
"As districts across the state are showing, local school boards are better equipped to protect students than Governor Stitt and the Oklahoma Legislature. This injunction reinforces each district's power to keep students and faculty safe.
School districts have the right to implement policies to protect children without fear of reprisal from Oklahoma Republicans.
Senate Bill 658 was unnecessary and has cost taxpayers through litigation expenses, but more importantly, it has caused our school districts to hesitate in the face of a deadly pandemic. I appreciate Judge Mai's commonsense injunction."HOUSE MINORITY LEADER EMILY VIRGIN
Sen. Rob Standridge, R-Norman, released the following statement Wednesday after the District Court's hearing on Senate Bill 658:
"While I am still reviewing what the judge had to say, I am encouraged by her statements that respect the legislature's intent to entrust parents whether to mask or not to mask their child. Ultimately, we must uphold the right of Oklahoma parents to decide what is best for their own children."SEN. ROB STANDRIDGE
Steven Crawford, MD, chairman for the Oklahoma Alliance for Healthy Families, issued the following statement in support of the ruling:
"Today's ruling is a clear sign that protecting children during the pandemic should be the standard, not the exception. Parents who do not want to protect their children are free to opt out but they will clearly be in a minority and put others at risk including their children. We still emphasize that masking, even if vaccinated, helps protect those that cannot be vaccinated or are unable to mount an adequate protective response to the COVID vaccines."STEVEN CRAWFORD, MD, OKLAHOMA ALLIANCE FOR HEALTHY FAMILIES CHAIRMAN
Liza Greve, Executive Director of Oklahomans for Health & Parental Rights, issued the following statement, saying the temporary injunction is a stalemate:
"We do not see a full out win for either side on today's temporary injunction. We will call it a stalemate of sorts, because some could say it's a loss because schools can now "require" masks. On the other hand, because the schools must allow exemptions, some view it as a win for parental rights.
We feel like the spirit of the law has always been about giving parents choice without having to opt out and we hope that that will ultimately prevail in this case. Parents know their children best and there is no more local control than that."LIZA GREVE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF OKLAHOMANS FOR HEALTH & PARENTAL RIGHTS
The injunction is set to take effect Sept. 8. The State could appeal the injunction while they await the hearing on the actual lawsuit, which the judge said would be coming soon.

Funny Jokes
A man was about to die, so he went to a black magic store to get a voodoo dick. The man at the store said, "It works. Anything you tell it to go to, it goes. So your wife can just say, 'Voodoo dick, my pussy.'"
The man buys it and gives it to his wife. She says, "Voodoo dick, my pussy." It goes in and starts screwing. But she doesn't know how to get it out.

Once upon a time, there once was a traveling salesman who's wife was a well known sex addict. But because the man could not be home all of the time, he often worried about his wife's faithfulness. He had noticed that she had been eyeing the young neighbor boy who cut their lawn recently. So one day the man decided to try to do something about this. After work the man entered a sexual aid shop and asked the owner to show him the selection of dildos.
"Why yes, of course." said the owner, "We have a very wide selection."
But after looking for quite a long time, the man just did not find anything that satisfied him.
"Well, maybe I have just what you need." remarked the owner, "Wait here."
And with that, the owner ran into the back and started digging around for quite some time. After about twenty minutes, the owner finally came out carrying a strange, rectangular box with ancient writing all over it. He set the box down on the more...103
There was a businessman who was getting ready to go on a long business trip. He knew his wife was a flirtatious sort, so he thought he'd try to get her something to keep her occupied while he was gone, because he didn't much like the idea of her screwing someone else.
So he went to a store that sold sex toys and started looking around. He thought about a life-sized sex doll, but that was too close to another man for him. He was browsing through the dildos, looking for something special to please his wife, and started talking to the old man behind the counter. He explained his situation, to the old man.
"Well, I don't really know of anything that will do the trick. We have vibrating dildos, special attachments, and so on, but I don't know of anything that will keep her occupied for weeks, except..." said the old man, and then he stopped.
"Except what?" asked the businessman.

The inclusion of this book in the Open Carolina collection is made possible by the generous funding of
James E. Clyburn has represented South Carolina's sixth district in the U.S. House of Representatives since 1993, and he currently serves as assistant Democratic leader of the House. He has been married to the former Emily England since June 1961, and they have three daughters, two sons-in-law, and three grandchildren. The congressman and his wife live in Columbia, South Carolina.
"A most welcome memoir by a remarkable role model of unquestioned character."—Kam Williams
"One of the ten best black books of 2014"—The Skanner
"Jim Clyburn's book Blessed Experiences has captured not just the history of this tireless leader's more-than-four decades in public service, but also a sense of the times. His professional life, which stretches from the Civil Rights Act to his current leadership position in the U.S. Congress, reflects the progress of the nation. While Jim has broken many barriers as the most significant African American member of Congress, his true success comes from his approach to collaboration on the national issues, as well as his ability to understand the needs of the constituency that he represents."—Warren Buffett
"Teddy Roosevelt famously praised 'the man in the arena.' Jim Clyburn's inspirational memoir clearly shows the achievements of a man who has lived his life battling in the arena—a master—politician and leading figure in the civil rights movement in South Carolina, reflecting on his life and motivations."—Ernest F. "Fritz" Hollings, Former U.S. senator
"There are few people with more character and integrity, or who have lived a more interesting and dynamic life, than Jim Clyburn. He has great insight, and it's been my honor to serve with him."—Joe Biden
"Inspired and inspiring, Blessed Experiences is informative reading and highly recommended for both community and academic library Black Studies and American Biography collections."—James A. Cox, The Midwest Book Review
"Congressman James Clyburn has displayed a rare mix of wisdom, wit and compassion throughout his illustrious career. He's been a pillar of the community and well-respected representative of the people whether he's on the House floor or at the annual fish fry back in his district. He's a tireless statesman and true Southern gentleman who has demonstrated that he has the courage to challenge conventional wisdom, the political clout to build consensus, and the unwavering commitment to be a champion for those whose agenda is to reach higher ground."—Debra L. Lee, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, BET Networks
"Blessed Experience: Genuinely Southern, Proudly Black by Congressman James Clyburn is a revelation. This candid autobiography not only charts Clyburn's improbable rise to senior leadership positions in the House of Representatives but also powerfully illuminates America's struggle to free itself from the despair and discrimination that accompanied Jim Crow segregation. Clyburn's words make clear how central the role of local and grass roots activism was in the struggle to find racial justice in places like South Carolina, and helps us better understand the origins of Clyburn's lifelong commitment to help America became a country where fairness and equality trump bigotry and hopelessness."—Lonnie G. Bunch, Founding Director, Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture.
"A remarkable chronicle of a remarkable life, Blessed Experiences provides a vivid and unforgettable portrait of the Jim Crow South on the eve of its extinction and of a man dedicated to bringing its oppression and injustice to an end. James Clyburn helps us remember our all-too-recent past and the struggles and sacrifices he and so many others endured to build a better world for us all."—Drew Gilpin Faust, President and Lincoln Professor of History, Harvard University
"The remarkable life, career, and growing legacy of James Clyburn is a story that had to be told and is best told by he who lived it. The upward climb from obscurity to leadership positions in South Carolina and the United States Congress is inspiring and motivation to dream both long and large. The achievements are the more inspiring because Jim Clyburn achieved success as a State Official and National Leader coming from a State which still embraces and endorses the Confederacy, therefore racism. Mr. Clyburn, please keep up the good work and we pray much your strength!"—John H. Adams, 87th Bishop, African Methodist Episcopal Church

- (utukku)A type of Babylonian DEMON who can be either good or evil. A group of evil ones are known as the Seven; they are offspring of the sky god, An, and the Earth goddess, Ki, and they act as assistants to the underworld god, Nergal. In Akkadian lore, the utukku are servants of the underworld, whose task is to fetch the sacrificial offerings made by humans, especially the BLOOD, liver, and organs of animals. The evil utukku are the ekimmu and the good ones are the shedu.

Your Strengths Are Your Differentiators
Greater performance with less struggle
Get a head start on the changes you want for 2021!
This is for you if:
Your Strengths are Your Differentiators Course Overview
You know intuitively that when you doing something you love doing, you're energized and time flies.
It's not that what you love doing isn't necessarily always easy. It just feels like you're in the zone, and you feel satisfied.
When you have that energized feeling, it's most likely you're using your talents and strengths. Your performance is heightened.
How often do you get to use your strengths on a daily basis?
You know when the opposite happens: you feel de-energized, time drags. You just can't wait for it to be done. You might also feel grumpy and moody.
In this course, you'll learn to recognize your strengths and find ways so you can develop them further.
As a result, you'll have more energy, be more productive. You'll be able to make better decisions and choices about what you do and how you do it.
Trainings to deal with negativity
This course comprises 6 modules with videos. I've designed and modeled this course on the materials that I delivered in corporations across the globe and to my students in community and at colleges.
You would pay $100s to attend such trainings live. Granted you would have the company of others, but also the expense of travel and accommodation the valuable resource of time.
With these self-paced learning courses, you can manage your own time and learn when it best suits you.
Moreover, you can repeat the videos and redo the exercises at any time.
For a limited time, I offer this course, Your Strengths are your Differentiators for $67.

In a pointy break with the Trump administration, President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. intends to launch practically all out there doses of the coronavirus vaccine quickly after he's inaugurated, quite than maintain again tens of millions of vials to ensure second doses can be out there.
The choice is a part of an aggressive effort to "to make sure the People who want it most get it as quickly as doable," the Biden transition group mentioned on Friday. The vaccination plan, to be formally unveiled subsequent week, additionally will embrace federally run vaccination websites in locations like highschool gyms and sports activities stadiums, and cellular models to succeed in high-risk populations.
The president-elect has vowed to get "at the very least 100 million Covid vaccine photographs into the arms of the American individuals" throughout his first 100 days in workplace.
The choice to launch the overwhelming majority of vaccine doses set off a pointy debate amongst public well being consultants. The 2 vaccines which have obtained emergency approval every require two doses, and the Trump administration has thus far been holding again about half of its provide to make sure that booster doses can be out there for these already inoculated.
Officers at Operation Warp Pace, the Trump administration's vaccine program, had famous that doses would cease being sequestered after the primary few weeks of rollout. However the announcement by the Biden administration units the clearest benchmark but for front-loading photographs, then distributing them as they develop into out there. And Warp Pace officers on Friday have been vital of the president-elect's choice.
The Meals and Drug Administration — whose recommendation Mr. Biden has pledged to comply with — has spoken out strongly against altering the dosing schedule, as another international locations have opted to do, calling such a transfer "untimely and never rooted solidly within the out there proof." Some public well being consultants worry that second doses could be delayed by the choice.
However others known as it a wise measure and mentioned it was crucial to get as many individuals vaccinated as shortly as doable — as long as the second doses will not be delayed. The Biden group mentioned it was assured that the availability could be sufficient, and that Mr. Biden would invoke the Protection Manufacturing Act if essential to bolster the availability of second doses.
"The president-elect believes we should speed up distribution of the vaccine whereas persevering with to make sure the People who want it most get it as quickly as doable," mentioned T.J. Ducklo, a spokesman for the Biden transition group.
The announcement that Mr. Biden intends to unlock additional doses coincided with a letter from eight Democratic governors — together with Andrew M. Cuomo of New York and Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, each of whom have clashed with President Trump — imploring the present administration to launch all out there doses to the states as quickly as doable.
"The failure to distribute these doses to states who request them is unconscionable and unacceptable," the governors wrote in the letter, which was obtained by The New York Instances and despatched Friday to the secretary of well being, Alex M. Azar II, and Gen. Gustave F. Perna, who's in control of vaccine distribution.
"We demand that the federal authorities start distributing these reserved doses to states instantly," the letter mentioned.
Mr. Biden's promise of 100 million photographs in arms is an formidable one, and the Trump administration's rocky rollout — which Mr. Biden known as "a travesty" on Friday — has not made his job any simpler. As of Thursday, the Trump administration had shipped greater than 21 million vaccine doses, and tens of millions extra have been already within the federal authorities's palms.
Yet only 5.9 million people had received a dose. State and native public well being officers, already overwhelmed with rising infections, have been struggling to manage the vaccine to hospital staff and at-risk older People whereas most individuals stay at nighttime about after they is perhaps protected.
The largest downside thus far has not been a lack of vaccine, however the difficulties that state and native governments face in distributing the doses they've. Capability and logistics, not shortages, are protecting vaccines from being administered.
Dr. Leana S. Wen, an emergency doctor and public well being skilled on the George Washington College College of Public Well being, mentioned she was shocked and anxious about Mr. Biden's new technique.
"This isn't the issue we're making an attempt to resolve proper now," Dr. Wen mentioned.
Officers at Operation Warp Pace have been additionally vital.
Talking at a news briefing on Friday, Dr. Stephen M. Hahn, the F.D.A. commissioner, urged states which have used solely a small a part of their provide to start vaccinating lower-priority teams, whereas nonetheless observing authorities tips. Most states are nonetheless prioritizing frontline well being care staff and older People in group residential settings.
Increasing the focused teams "will go a great distance towards utilizing these vaccines appropriately and getting them into the arms of people," Dr. Hahn mentioned.

Sir Lambalot Blurb
"Queen Floss lives in a castle grand,
The finest one across the land.
Sir Lambalot is her busiest knight,
With quests to do both day and night."
Queen Floss is determined to rid the land of dragons, giants and trolls, so she turns to Sir Lambalot and his trusty steed Ned to help. But when the brave knight meets these fearful creatures, he discovers they aren't quite so scary after all. Written in rhyme and full of fun, this story has an important message about kindness, tolerance and acceptance.
My Review
Sir Lambalot is, by far, the cutest, sweetest, and loveliest children's book I've read in a long time. Jude Lennon's rhyming story is fun to read. I found it as entertaining as reading Dr. Seuss. I can't imagine any child not loving this little beauty.
Queen Flossie is judgemental about the castoffs from society. They are misunderstood and face cruelty every day because they are different. But, Sir Lambalot teaches the queen that people just want love and acceptance.
Holly Bushnell's illustrations are a magnificent contribution to Lennon's words. The bright colors are amazing, and the lambs will delight anyone. The castle is my favorite illustration.
I am happy to award Sir Lambalot a full 5 out of 5 stars. This whole book comes together incredibly well, and I can't wait to share it with my granddaughters. I would recommend this book to anyone with small children.

The strong points of Sanitizer SNT-O3
- Completely automated process
- Dust Filter and O2 Catalyst
- Standard ozone, temperature and humidity sensors
- O3-O2 reconversion at the end of the procedure
- Printable service report
Virucidal at 99,99% against SARS-CoV-2 (certificated by the University of Ferrara)
The SNT-O3 operates stand-alone.
The SNT-O3 is activated directly from outside the vehicle through a remote control supplied with it, or the free AIR2 SAN APP, and provides a completely automated sanitation of the passenger compartment. In fact, the operator has nothing to worry about, not even selecting the vehicle since SNT-O3, thanks to its ozone, humidity and temperature sensors, automatically provides the correct level of saturation. When the green light appears in the display or the specific indication in the APP, the vehicle is ready to be returned to the customer, without any further operation.
In order to guarantee the utmost efficiency and professionalism of the operation, SNT-03 acts through three phases:
SNT-03, thanks to its ozone density, temperature and air humidity sensors, calculates and quickly reaches the ideal amount of ozone needed to sanitise the environment, avoiding excesses of gas that could damage furniture and tools.
During this phase, thanks to its microprocessor, SNT-03 keeps the amount of ozone stable for the time required for a proper sanitation of the environment.
At the end of the sanitation, thanks to the phase that converts the ozone into oxygen, in a short time, SNT-03 reduces the residual ozone to an amount that is not harmful for humans, in order to be able to re-access the environment immediately.
Technical Manual
Quick Guide
Free APP
SNT-O3 also has a free AIR2 SAN APP that can be downloaded for both iOS and Android. With the APP, you can check the progress of the process step by step, view a list of the operations carried out and generate a PDF document that can be printed and that certifies the proper sanitation of the vehicle, which is extremely important.

The BMW M8 Competition is without a doubt one of the greatest weapons BMW M has in its arsenal: With a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 packing 625 hp and 750 Nm, this model – which comes in the shape of a Coupe (F92), Cabriolet (F91) or four-door Gran Coupé (F93) – is one of the top athletes fresh from the M Division.
But as always, tuning shops from around the world are willing to improve upon the successful M recipe. G-Power announced a few months ago their program for the BMW M8, and today, they follow through with new updates and photos.
G-POWER is offering three different power upgrade levels: The starter package provides an already impressive 720 hp (529 kW) and a maximum torque of 850 Nm thanks to G-POWER's GP-720 Performance Software. One step up and GP-770 Performance Software is combined with downpipes and sports catalytic converters (optionally also downpipes without sports
catalytic converters), which reduce the exhaust back pressure.
In this case, the driver can look forward to 770 hp (566 kW) and 930 Nm. If that does not quite cut it, customers can choose the top variant, which packs no less than 820 hp (603 kW) and 1,000 Nm. This boost of 250 Nm and almost 200 hp over the series is achieved using GP-820 Performance Software and several hardware adjustments.
The top model carries the name G8-M and it also features a Venturi RR bonnet made of carbon fiber out with additional ventilation openings. Another option for customization are the 21-inch alloy wheels forged from particularly light aluminum. The Hurricane RR rims are available in Jet Black, Gun Metal Gray and Stardust Silver.

When it comes to creating a sports game, one of the biggest issues always seems to be finding balance between the offensive and defensive side of the game. With most franchises, specifically EA Sports' NHL series, finding that balance has been a taxing process that finally seems to be heading in the right direction with NHL 16.
The franchise has always been a game that favored the offense much more than the defensive side of things, but the development team at EA Sports Vancouver is hoping to change that this year with the new precision skating system.
"We put a lot of effort into the precision the skating," lead producer Sean Ramjagsingh said. "We said we can do fast really well, but for you to move two feet to the left or right is extremely difficult. That's one of the tools that we wanted to give you."
With the new precision skating system, players will be able to better position themselves in relation to the puck to make sure they have the best angle possible, whether it be on offense or defense. From trying to set up in the slot for the perfect one-timer to moving just a few inches to break up a passing lane, the new skating system allows players to get into any position on the ice possible to make the play.
In addition to skating balance, fixing issues in regards to puck control was also a major point of emphasis during NHL 16's development. It used to be too easy to maintain control of the puck, and too difficult to knock it away. Now, with NHL 16, player puck control is tuned in a way to make it more realistic than ever, especially when it comes to puck pickups.
"Our old pick up system, we always forced you to glide or stop to pick it up rather than continuing what you were doing or doing what you wanted to do," Ramjagsingh said. "Now, with the new system we have, you can pick the puck up in stride, you can do a sloppy pick up or go the other way."
For defensive poke checks, no more will pucks seem to be magnetic towards an offensive player's stick. Poke checks will not only effect the puck, but a stick can be jarred loose thanks to a properly executed poke check in NHL 16. It's a small improvement, but will, undoubtedly, go a long way towards making a more precise in-game experience; one that won't see game-generated mistakes lead to goals in the net.
"When something goes wrong in the game, it's more a user mistake as opposed to the game making the mistake," he said. "[It's] more responsive as well. We really, really focused on the skating, making it fun to play every position, and that you had the right amount of control that you want so that it felt, as a whole, refined.
"All those details lead to smoother skating, smoother gameplay."

Lucid Motors is leaning into the dark side with a new trim package called "Stealth Look." The subdued styling option, which features a total of 35 new exterior design cues, will be available for the full range of Air electric vehicles starting this week.
The changes include mirror caps, glass roof trim, and frames around the headlights and taillights. A platinum finish has been swapped with something called "dark Stealth Polished finish." Lucid said the goal is to imbue the Air, which is the only model the company has in production, with "a darker and overtly sporting personality."
Stealth Look will be available as an option for Air Grand Touring Performance, Air Grand Touring, and Air Touring. Depending on the model, Lucid offers 20-inch or 21-inch wheels with satin black inserts. Buyers can also pair the Stealth Look with any exterior color, which right now is limited to white, black, silver, gray, and red.
Lucid is offering Stealth Look for an added $6,000 starting in the first quarter of 2023. The new exterior styling will make its public debut during Monterey Car Week at Motorlux on Wednesday, August 17th.
The new trim package was unveiled at what is arguably a rough moment for Lucid. The Newark, California-based company recently slashed its production forecast for the second time this year, revising its expectations to between 6,000 and 7,000 vehicles for 2022.

text: The Clock Tower was built in neo-classical style by Sultan Abdulmecid next to the Nusretiye Mosque, at Tophane neighborhood. The tower is 15 meters high and contains the Tugra (monogram) of the sultan on the entrance. Unfortunately today the Clock Tower is in bad conditions and the original clock and its mechanism couldn't survive until our days.
