We get it – exercising isn't always your favourite activity. Some days it's so welcome you practically burn the projected amount of calories just racing to get there. Some days though, you'd happily pay someone money to let you spend the hour sliding down the couch cushions to the floor instead of doing yoga. In the interests of motivation, we suggest you schedule that exercise in, get yourself some top-notch activewear (start with a piece like Triumph's Triaction for the ultimate workout buddy) and get yourself the below podcasts. You'll be so caught up in the story of your downloads, your workout will be done before you know it (and you'll probably be an expert on a new subject too).
Here are our favourite podcasts for a good sweat session:
To keep you company: How Did This Get Made?
Like hanging out with a trio of your funniest pals, this podcast discusses questionable films (Junior, anyone?) and how the hell someone paid money to get them into cinemas. Hosts Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael and Jason Mantzoukas tear apart terrible films, bringing hilarious logicality to the most illogical of cinema with the help of guests who are just as funny. If your running buddy cancels, these guys will save the session.
To push you up that hill: Finding Mastery
Listening to the hard-won achievements of others somehow always manages to boost your own motivation and that's how Dr. Michael Gervais' podcast manages to inspire. Featuring masters as broad as elite sportspeople, musicians, neurologists and entrepreneurs, you'll hear how these determined individuals tackle their own obstacles – and how you can apply their practices to your own life challenges.
To help you lose yourself in your task: The Moth
If you've settled in for 10-kilometre trawl, The Moth is the perfect place to get lost: featuring the stories of everyday people as read to a live audience, you'll be blown away by the lives that have been lived by 'everyday' folk. Humble, heartbreaking stories are side by side with inspirational tales of being in the right place at the right time, proving that even the average Joe has the capacity to live an inspired and inspiring life.
To make the endorphins last longer: Good Life Project
This twice-weekly podcast features an interview with influential guests who offer life-changing advice, motivation and inspiration (advice from Elizabeth Gilbert, Seth Godin or Arianna Huffington, anyone?). Each episode is dedicated to improving an aspect of mind, body or soul, all in the interests for living your best life. You'll be ringing with life insights for the rest of the day.
To distract you from a tough spot: The Read
You've got to be up on pop culture references to catch the genius of hosts Kid Fury and Crissle but even when the thread is lost, it's still sassy and funny as hell. The 80,000 subscribers on iTunes can't be wrong so we recommend reading up on the happenings of hip hop stars and take a mental seat with these longtime friends – you'll be up that hill in no time.
To inspire your outdoor activities: The First 40 Miles
You might not even be outside for your workout but this might make you want to get out there. Each episode covers a basic aspect of backpacking – whether it's learning how to tie a simple knot along with bullet proof fabric that can protect your food, understanding your freeze-dried food options or how to battle rain on your trail, you'll soon be an expert on getting outdoors.

Cross (Hardcover)
Minotaur Books, 9780312341428, 288pp.
Publication Date: March 4, 2008
Jack Taylor brings death and pain to everyone he loves. His only hope of redemption - his surrogate son, Cody - is lying in the hospital in a coma. At least he still has Ridge, his old friend from the Guards, though theirs is an unorthodox relationship. When she tells him that a boy has been crucified in Galway city, he agrees to help her search for the killer.
Jack's investigations take him to many of his old haunts where he encounters ghosts, both dead and living. Everyone wants something from him, but Jack is not sure he has anything left to give. Maybe he should disappear--pocket his money and get the hell out of Galway like everyone else seems to be doing. But when the sister of the murdered boy is burned to death, Jack decides he must hunt down the killer, if only to administer his own brand of justice.
About the Author
Praise For Cross…
Praise for Priest:
"There's music in his lament for the corruption of innocence and the loss of faith—in the government and the clergy—in 'the new Ireland,' even as he does battle with the demons that have claimed his own soul."--The New York Times
"Bruen exploits the dark potential of the mystery form to its fullest….If a bottle of Bushmills could talk, it would sound like Jack Taylor." --Washington Post Book World
"Spare and unforgiving, Bruen's novels are among the best."--Rocky Mountain News
"If your vision of Ireland still includes blarney and shamrocks, Ken Bruen is the writer to bring you up to date...Bruen is a wonderful writer."--Globe and Mail (Toronto)
"Bruen has established himself as a master of hard-boiled noir." --Miami Herald
"Priest again dazzles with the unique, staccato sarcasm of Jack Taylor." --The Cleveland Plain Dealer
"A gripping story of guilt and redemption."--The Independent (UK)
"Bruen writes tight, urgent, powerful prose, his dialogue is harsh and authentic and Jack Taylor has become one of today's most interesting shamuses." --The Times

an interesting case wherein are disputed wills and all the accompaniments of a thrilling romance an interesting will case will at an early session of the court be tried in chatham several years ago mr fuucett left an estate to his children of whom there were four unmarried and oner-mrs bryan — married the four unmarried heirs made wills wherein each one bequeathed every thing to the other unmarried one that survived wben the ftr»t one died his estate ya divided equally among the other three when the second one died am went to the re rnaingiug two and bo on at last the only survivor of the four was mr william faucett who himself died without issue in 1883 not one of the four who made these wills left issue ; and on the death of mr wil liam faucett the property of all four was inherited by his married sister mrs bryan a part of the property thus inheri ted by mrs bryan is stock m the raleigh national bank she in company with mr bryan carce to this city on saturday to transfer a portion of this stock to a purchaser here judge reade however refused to allow the taansfer to be made be cause he had been notified that the bank-stock is disputed property and he eould in consequence allow no dis position of it until the contest should be settled the contest is this : mm emma v moring wife of hon john mor ing is akin to mrs bryan and she claims that she has a will of the late william faucett made subsequently to the will whereby mrs bryan re ceived his property and that the last will makes the children of mrs mor ing the heirs the fact that mr faucett died at the asylum for the insane will add complications to the case it involves a long string of most unusual evtnts and will be made the more interest ing too because the value of the pro perty iuvelved is great mrs bryan

the novel spectacle of a kleptomaniac on trial was witnessed this morning in the city court the crime with which heath was charged the larceny of a couple of sealskin cloaks was admit ted by the defence but the plea urg ed was that the accused being a klep tomaniac could not be held responsi ble for the act the first witness introduced to prove the prisoner's peculiar weakness was the boy's own lather lie was told to relate the conditions and circumstances under which his sou was born he then testified to the fact that the boy was born on may 21 1863 at lexing ton his mother was an intense con federate she went through the city of lexington begging for the soldiers and accepting anything from a pos tage stamp up and thus it was that the unfortunate son was born in the miilst of the intense feeling and pre judice consequent upon the war the mother had so worn herself down by mental excitement aud labor for the southern soldiers that after the birth of her child she uwas nable to raise it the doctors said that unless the child received milk from the breast it could not live a colored wet nurse was hired and about the time the child was old enough to be weaned she was

that mr cleveland could signalize his ad vent to the presidency ia no more startliug manner than by inviting to assist at his first receptions the three ladies who still survive the experience of having presided over the white house under democratic administra tions these ladies are mrs polk mrs tyler and mrs harriet lane johnston mrs polk resides at polk place nashville tenn and is now in her eighty-second year mrs ty ler is still-a brilliant woman of lew than sixty and live r.mong a boat of friends in richmond va mrs har riet iujine johnston who was mistress of the white house during her uncle's buchanan's administration is as is wel known a resident in baltimore she is always spoken of in washing ton as one of the most brilliant women of its social history she married mr henry elliott johnston of baltimore some time in 18gg there is still employed at the white house an old man who was there when mrs tyler came there as the president's bride and he points with pride to her picture hanging in the green room and tells the visitors she was a pretty woman she was the correspondent was talking with this old servant recently and asked him if he didn't remember mrs polk also and he replied as follows very well indeed she was a handsome and fascinating woman a prominent english lady visiting here said she had seen three queens in eu rope that none could compare with mrs polk she was very popular so much so that a south carolinian once said to her during one of her re ceptions that there was a woe pro nounced against her in the bible she inquired with some concern — for she was a deeply religious woman — what it was when he replied well the bible says woe unto you when all men speak well of you it seemed to be a very appropriate remark for it seems that everybody did speak well of her she was extremely pop ular the same old-timer's face lighted up with pleasure when miss harriet lane's name was mentioned do i remember her why it was wily a little time ago only twenty-seven years since she came here she was a beautiful accomplished queenly young woman a perfect picture as she stood beside her white-haired bache lor uncle who had been so long a father to her and whom she loved with the most earnest affection it was hard to understand why one so young could have seeu so much of the world she hail when she came to the white house seen all thut there was worth seeing of the courts of eu rope having been for years with her uncle at the court st james espe cially honored and beloved by the queen mr buchanan was very fond of her though he use to like to tease her with some quiet good-natured stories of her girlish days when she was quite a romp i remember how he used to tell about her beating some young man in a foot race and also about her wheeling a load of wood through the streets of the town where she lived to give it to some poor ojd wonam she had many admirers and many offers of marriage before she met mr johnson mrs johnston by the way visited washington only a few weeks ago she is now visiting friends in cincinnati in the czar's domains what pountry life in russia really w the remark that he who knows only st petersburg and moscow has not seen russia was accentuated in my experience when on my way to cen tral asia i accepted an invitation to a nobleman's seat in the russian in terior writes a correspondent of the london limes previous journeys to the extremites of the empire has brought me in contact with diverse races along the high roads but i was anxious to see what the peasant was like not when shouting long life to the czar under the walls of the kremlin but when buried at home out of reach of steamer or railway whistle and miles away from a post road a telegraph station or a post office with interest therefore after driving over dusty roads the whole of a summer night i found myself in the early morning approaching my desti nation you must not expect to find anything peculiarly russian about the house my friends had said for it is a new structure of elizabethau archi tecture aud so from the outside it waa one might have fancied it a kentish mansion purchased for x50 000 and set down in the middle of u russian estate the interior of the house was'aonie what more adapted to muscovite ideas in that the rooms open one into the other and the sleeping apartments of the family could be cut off from the rest the materials of the house had ' been obtained for the most part on the spot the bricks were burnt on the estate and the handsome carving and wainscoting of tt hall were of indig enous timber some of the ornamen tation howtytr was from abroad the panels oo the drawing-room walls were filled with immense italian paint ings and the room of my hostess was hnng with large photographs of the masterpieces of raphael in keeping with this was the intel lectual culture of the family english was spoken by parents and children all day long and french german and russian when required in the morning we read wrote and took horse exercise and in the evening we were enlivened with classical music after which it was but a step out of the drawing-room doors on to the spa cious terrace to look in tbe gloaming over one of those vast russian plains which can hardly be called beautiful but which are striking to an english man by reason of their vastness and mil ikeness to anything he sees at home the mansion was built on a hill at the foot of which a river meandered containing trout and perch ; and in tervening were terraced lawns and grounds covered in their seasons with homely buttercups and daisies at well as forget-me-nots wild-roses and lil ies of the valley the grouuds were planted not indeed with conifers for there are none on the estate but with tall poplars and sturdy oaks up to two feet in diameter clusters of pliant wil lows and graceful birch together with lime beech and elm these trees are a refuge for the cuckoo thrush and nightingale while a little further off in the forests are to be found among birds rooks and crows ravens hawks and eagles and among animals hares foxes and wolves but it was not the mansion that in terested me so much as its surround ings the estate consisted of about 25,000 acres of which one-fifth is for est and one-twentieth pasture the soil varying between good black earth loam sand loam and sand with clay beneath and in some parts of all clay it furnishes no building stone but plenty of alabaster which remains however unworked growing wild were to be found horse-radish rasp berries strawberries black currauts and fruit called rebina while on the cultivated lands wheat was said to thrive but not barley and buck wheat rye oats peas flax aud hemp | beans too are grown in gardens and j tobacco i inquired of conr.se the cost of this produce and found that on the spot for the pood of thirty-six english pouud9 wheat and buck wheat s»ld for 2v rye is 8d ; oats is 4d ; potatoes 7d a bushel and hay from 2£d to 4d the pood this last being of tolerable quality but not comparable to english fodder ordi nary land yields from twenty five to thirty-five poods of hay an acre and the better sort from fifty to seventy with sometimes a second crop the estate was inhabited by about 1,000 families living ra wooden thatched houses usually of two rooms only built wfteu of willow of which a log thirty feet long and ten in ches in diameter costs a couple of shillings the outer bark of the tree used for roofing and the inner bark for matting and ropes the houses were furnished only scantily twenty in the home village might each per haps possess a bed but not one of them a bed and bedstead too it was common however for a family to pos sess a cow one or more horses and three or four sheep ; a good specimen of the last weighing 40 to 50 pounds and its wool selling for from 4 a to oil per pound the food of the peasants was extremely simple consisting of rye bread and stchee or soup of cab bage and fat ; soaked and boiled buck wheat eaten with hempseed ail mush rooms curd and onious for drink they consume kvas small beer made from rye bread and here aud there tea though this latter has not become general among them beef was a del icacy aud cost 2d per pound mutton lid and pork 2£d chickens sold from 2i to 4d each ducks for 5d geese for 20d while extravagant per sons feasted on turkeys at 2-t each the clothing of the peasantry was in keeping with their food a man's summer suit consists of a cotton shirt a pair of linen trousers and shoes of lime-tree bark the last costing od per pair if a peasant aspires to high boots they cost him from 12 to 44 and he pays about the same price tor his homespun kaltan while in the winter his sheepskin shouba or coat may cost him from 16s to 30s — dear

|Meridian to Promote Faroudja Worldwide
|Thursday, 30 June 2005
one of the world's pioneers of audio technologies including MLP
compression, has entered into an agreement that will allow Meridian to
promote the Faroudja brand of video processing on a worldwide basis.
Faroudja, owned by Genesis Microchip Inc., is an Emmy award winning
technology firm best known for bringing the "line doubler" to the home
theater market more than a decade ago. The deal matches an audio
superpower with a video superpower.
Faroudja will no longer manufacture products under their own name thus
will focus their design energy toward video advances for Meridian
The market has turned away from the once highly lucrative "black box" video processors that Faroudja is famous for selling. Already an integral part of Meridian's G Series and 800 product lines, high end home theater enthusiasts should expect to see more cost-no-object video processing from inside their DVD players or AV preamps. This includes scaling traditional 480i to as high as 1080p with the quality that one associates with Meridian's audio upscaling and reproduction.
The deal makes all kinds of sense considering Meridian's distribution network hits a solid percentage of the best dealers that sell high end video paired with Meridian electronics. Traditional audio companies who have stuck with audio-only business models don't prosper at the same level as companies who have embraced both audio and video in this HDTV driven home theater market.

No Plastic Thunderhawk: Instead a New Resin One
The mythical beasts once again vanishes into myth and legend. It felt so close.
Instead we will be seeing a new Forgeworld Thunderhawk design made from "resin".
via Warhammer Community
We've had a lot of questions over the last few weeks, since our venerable Thunderhawk gunship sold out online.
We can now announce that the Forge World studio are nearing completion on a brand new updated version.
Pre-production model – there may be some slight differences in the final model.
This new resin Thunderhawk keeps the iconic and uncompromising outline of the Thunderhawk we all know and love, but also takes on a few design cues from other recent kits, like the Stormbird and Heresy-era Space Marine Legion tanks.
For the moment, we don't have anymore to show you, but you can rest assured this Lord of War will be touching down very soon.
In fact, we're hoping to have it available first at Warhammer Fest this May (which you can get a ticket for here):

Nissan India to launch Evalia in September
The Maruti Ertiga is doing wonders in India and so is the upcoming Nissan Evalia hoped to do. As per the latest buzz, the Evalia MPV will be launched in September ahead of Diwali. The seven seater MPV is expected to give India its truly big van that will have enough of legroom, headroom and shoulder room for the occupants. The Nissan Evalia price is expected to be around Rs 9 lakh to Rs 11 lakh and it will be launched to rival the Ertiga as well as Toyota Innova.

The Evalia MPV will be produced in India at the Nissan plant and the commercial version of it christened as Ashok Leyland Stile will be produced by the Indian auto maker Ashok Leyland. Besides, the Innova and Ertiga, the Evalia will also be targeting Mahindra Xylo in its ambit and following its big size, the Evalia is expected to perform better than all the others. Hoped to put the 1.5 L diesel engine that powers the Nissan Sunny sedan. The Nissan MPV will have a boxy appearance but following the immense space inside, it will be the best MPV in the segment that can be called as a family car.

Another important feature of the car will be its comfortable seating for seven people and the third row will also have ample space unlike the Ertiga, Innova or the Xylo. Since the MPV is powered by a tried and tested engine technology that is huge on power and high on mileage the industry is expecting a decent mileage delivery by the Evalia. However, a 20.44 kmpl as is achieved by Ertiga will not be there on the Evalia. To be jointly developed in India by Nissan and Ashok Leyland, the Evalia plant will attract a joint investment of around Rs 4000 crore and it will be Tamil Nadu.

Some of my clients take some time off between jobs and travel. It's a great idea – it gives you a break, time to heal yourself of the emotional impact of leaving a job and space to start re-imagining the future.
My sister Liz has taken it one step further. She wanted a change so she applied to emigrate to Canada. Not sure of where she wants to live, and wanting to get to know her adopted country better, she decided to cycle across Canada.
Yes, that's right. She started in St John's Newfoundland, and will be cycling across to the West Coast, taking a few detours through the Rockies (she is a keen skier and wants to live in a ski resort).
Liz has talked about moving to Canada for years. She has done some big cycle tours before, but none quite as big as this one. The difference between Liz and many people is that she decided what she wanted to do and she made it happen.
What is your dream project? What would you need to do to make it a reality?
Why don't you start with a little research: how can you find out more? What would it involve?
Crossing Canada by bike sounds like an awfully long way, but it is made up of small distances each day. The important thing is starting the journey and keep moving forward. What is the first step on your journey?
You can read more about Liz's adventure on her blog: http://cyclingcanadacoast2coast.wordpress.com/
She's planning on camping most of the time, though if you live on the route I'm sure she'd be very grateful for a bed for the night (or even a garden to camp in).
She is an inspirational example of a woman in her 40s who enjoys taking on a challenge. And she's an ordinary human being. If she can do it, so can you.

NSW election agenda highlights policy priorities for business
The Australian Industry Group has publicly released its NSW election agenda which has been presented to all parties in the lead-up to next month's poll.
The agenda sets out the policy priorities for business for the next Government of NSW. It has recommendations across the broad themes of reducing the costs of doing business, enhancing growth with an emphasis on skills and innovation, and removing impediments to productivity.
"While NSW is doing well relative to other states, we need to manage the transition from the mining boom and ensure growth has a broad economic base, which is the traditional strength of the NSW economy," Ai Group, State Director, Mark Goodsell said.
"This requires policies that build productivity and competitiveness in the private and public sectors, promote the recycling of capital into new assets, and keep energy and other input costs under control.
"Post-election, all parties and independents must find a way to make government work in a stable and sensible way. Whenever political instability leads to policy uncertainty, it has a demonstrable effect on the confidence of business to invest and employ.
"Business wants the next government to deliver clear and strong strategic leadership in areas such as:
- Facilitating and supporting efforts to encourage productivity improvements in all sectors of the economy - by lifting capabilities, building networks, enhancing relationships between industry and research organisations, creating mature partnerships with the private sector, and by providing appropriate information and encouragement - to businesses and other providers of goods and services;
- Improving competitiveness by lowering business costs for NSW businesses. This includes outlining a plan to substantially improve the competitiveness of NSW's payroll tax regime;
- Reducing regulatory and compliance burdens on industry;
- Lifting the productivity of the public sector and in the delivery of services for which it takes responsibility and;
- Maintaining strong public finances.
"Ai Group believes that the next Government should be strongly committed to delivering genuine tax reform to promote growth and investment in the State. It must take an active role in the Federal Government's upcoming white papers on taxation and federalism, and examine opportunities for the reform and removal of state-based inefficient taxes.
"The next NSW Government can immediately reduce business costs and encourage industry expansion by substantially improving the competitiveness of the state's payroll tax regime. The current payroll tax is an impediment to growth, investment and jobs in the state.
"We would also encourage the next Government to ensure that local businesses have full and fair access to Government projects and tenders. The NSW Government can play a significant role in in unlocking supply opportunities and supporting industry development. In particular, we believe that there is undue emphasis on upfront costs rather than whole of life costs in government procurement. This neglected the costs involved in maintenance and through-life support which are key advantages that local suppliers are able to offer.
"We also call on the next NSW Government to continue to invest significantly in the state's infrastructure so as to improve productivity and enhance the competitiveness of the NSW economy. However, in driving infrastructure activity, the next Government needs to shoulder a significantly greater responsibility by leading the way in coordinating infrastructure projects and reducing any uncertainty surrounding major projects.
"A further critical element in driving productivity growth is the need for a strong focus on skilling - particularly in the areas of literacy and numeracy and science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills, together with sound programs and incentives to encourage innovation," Goodsell said.

Stephen Hawking and Russian venture capitalist Yuri Milner want to send a small spaceship to Alpha Centauri, the nearest neighboring star system to Earth's Milky Way – and NASA just announced plans to throw its weight behind the lofty project. Project Breakthrough Starshot will use lasers to propel a lightweight silicon "StarChip" up to one-fifth the speed of light. If all goes well, the ship should reach Alpha Centauri in 20 years.
NASA will help solve one of the trickiest parts of the project – how to mitigate the intense solar radiation involved in interstellar travel. As Engadget notes, accelerating the chip with lasers to the planned speed of 134 million miles per hour (about 1,000-times faster than your average spacecraft travel), requires it to be incredibly light. This means that installing a proper radiation shield around the "StarChip" is out of the question due to the weight constraints.
One plan NASA has suggested is changing the route to Alpha Centauri so the probe can avoid radiation, but this will make the trip longer without completely eliminating the radiation issue. NASA and researchers from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology think that putting "self-healing" transistors into the probe could be the best way forward.
So they're working with an experimental "gate-all-around nanowire transistor", which should be able to self-heal from radiation damage. Such an innovation would be perfect because it can work with both flash memory and logic transistors, while also having a tiny 20-nanometer structure. This makes it both lightweight and resistant to cosmic rays.
A lot more experimentation is needed before this kind of probe could get off the ground. But if it does, it could represent one of the best chances to find a habitable planet near Earth. That's a huge deal, as Hawking himself has said we may only have up to 1,000 years left on our current planet.

Prescription medicines, including retail pharmacy sales and provider‑administered drugs, are only about 14% of overall healthcare spendingi—roughly the same share as in 1960. That spending has been remarkably stable, even though more than 450 new medicines have been brought to market for millions of suffering patients over the past 15 years, thanks to competition between branded drug makers in the same treatment class and the availability of low-cost generic drugs after a limited period of exclusivity for innovator products. What's more, spending on prescription drugs is projected to grow in line with overall healthcare spending through at least 2024.ii
That's because net prices and overall spending on prescription medicines have been rising modestly in recent years. In 2015, the average net price increase of branded drugs, after accounting for discounts and rebates paid by drug companies to government and commercial payers, was just 2.8%,iii while overall spending on prescriptions has increased just 3.9% during the year ending July 2016.iv
So where do most healthcare dollars get spent? Hospitals comprise by far the largest share, at about 30% of U.S. healthcare spending, or close to $1 trillion annually. Physicians and clinical services are another 20%. These health care services are also driving premiums increases for many insured Americans.
A study by Avalere Health reports hospital and professional services are responsible for approximately 75% of premium increases for those in the ACA insurance market. Data reported by health plans show that hospital costs and doctor payments accounted for 47% and 28.7% (respectively) in 2015, while prescription drugs accounted for 17.7.
That modest share of spending on prescriptions holds true even in very costly to treat conditions. A recent report on cancer care spending, for example, found that prescriptions accounted for just 12 percent of overall health costs for cancer, while hospital inpatient stays account for 27 percent, and hospital outpatient or office-based provider visits comprise 58 percent.v
How does U.S. spending on drugs compare to other developed countries? Quite favorably. Drugs, on average, make up about 20% of healthcare spending in OECD countriesvi, and can be as high as 30% in some EU countries.vii Thus, 14% in the United States is not high or unsustainable, and there is value in greater utilization of biopharmaceuticals as compared to other more expensive healthcare services such as hospital stays, surgeries, and nursing homes. A smarter healthcare system would increase the use of cost-effective biopharmaceuticals, not seek to constrain or ration it.

Automotive supplier M&A update: 1H-2016
Market overview
The domestic automotive market has seen mixed results during the first half of 2016 (1H-2016). Year over year light vehicle sales declined by two percent in June 2016, but total light truck sales grew by 5.6 percent during the same time period.1 Although vehicle sales have declined slightly during the first half of 2016, new vehicle transaction prices reached at all-time high of $31,089 in June 2016.2 Consumer spending has remained at record levels due in large part to a continued shift from cars to trucks.

M&A activity
During 1H-2016, twenty-seven transactions were reported in the automotive supplier industry. The amount of reported transactions has decreased by 22.5 percent compared to the same period during 2015. The decrease in activity can be attributed to the robust number of transactions that closed during 2015. Despite the decrease in transactions, the M&A market for automotive suppliers remains optimistic. Emerging trends such as autonomous vehicles and electric vehicles may also provide opportunity for an increase in M&A activity.
Trading multiples
Comparable public companies were trading in a moderate range as of June 30, 2016; EV/Revenue ranged from 0.4x to 2.5x and EV/EBITDA ranged from 3.9x to 12.1x with a median multiple of 6.5x EBITDA.

The problem is how to hook them up. Allen Market Place will help plug supply into demand at its third annual CSA Fair on February 26.
The fair is open to any members of the community who want to learn about community supported agriculture and local farms. People can meet the farmers and get subscriptions to buy fresh produce and products for the duration of the growing season.
The growing list of participating farms include ANC Veggie Box, Capital Village Trade Cooperative, CBI's Giving Tree Farm, Hillcrest Farm, Hunter Park GardenHouse, Lansing Roots, Monroe Family Organics, MSU Student Organic Farm, Owosso Organics, Thornapple CSA, Titus Farms, Urbandale Farm, and Zumo Eco Farm. Local concession vendors will also participate.
"There's so much variation in what different CSAs offer, which is really nice because what one offers may not fit the needs of somebody else," Rita O'Brien said. O'Brien is associate director of Allen Market Place and director of Hunter Park GardenHouse.
CSA subscriptions are important to both customers and farmers. Farming is a risky business. CDA subscriptions assure them that everything they plant will be sold. Customers, in turn, get fresh, locally grown produce and other items.
O'Brien emphasized that having a subscription to a CSA not only gives a member food from within a 50 mile radius, but also helps to sustain the local economy.
Some CSA programs accept food benefit programs such as SNAP as well.
Another benefit of CSA programs is the variation in members' basket mix as the growing season goes through its phases, from early radishes to fresh salad greens to mid-summer tomatoes to autumn squash and pumpkins.
Lesser-known but no less delicious produce items, from kale to parsnips, add the spice of variety. Maggie Harris, a Hunter Park GardenHouse subscriber, says the program has introduced her family to many new foods.
"Our baskets have really expanded our horizons," Harris said. "It has given us the opportunity to dig deeper and try different recipes and foods and also just a lot more vegetables than we would otherwise."
Harris got involved with her program when she moved to Lansing from St. Louis. She agreed that it benefits both her family and her community.
"One of the things that I really appreciate about the programs and why I want my family to continue is because it's really accessible to everyone in the community," she said.
With representatives from so many local growers gathered in one basket for people to meet, Allen Market Place's CSA Fair is all about accessibility.

Innovative Repairs to Steel Sheet Pile Structuresby David L. Porter, Childs Engineering Corp, Medfield, MA, USA,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Ports '86
Several unique and many unusual repair techniques have been used to structurally rebuild steel sheet pile walls. An example of a unique repair to a cellular cofferdam utilizing a suspended annular ring of steel piles where the annular space is filled with concrete is presented. This repair solution provided a significant cost savings when compared to conventional repair methods. Several unusual solutions for rehabilitation of tied-back steel sheet pile walls are examined. One repair illustrates replacement of an existing tied-back bulkhead by installing a new steel sheet pile wall behind the existing tied-back bulkhead. Another solution extends the life of an existing deteriorated steel sheet pile wall by installing lightweight fill to reduce lateral earth pressure.

Neon tetra fish is one of the popular aquarium fish. Whenever you go to aquarium shop yours eye may stuck up on aquarium having lots of small blue, red horizontal striped fishes. Which are looking extremely beautiful in group. With the change of angle of view you will find that their color also changes which is one of the reason of popularity of neon tetra. They have horizontal blue strip running from nose to the base of adipose fin and red strip running from middle of the body to the base of caudal fin. Neon tetra fish are completely transparent except of these markings. During night these strips become silver by the time they rest and become coloured again in the morning again. These are cheap and easily available.
Neon tetra fish are shoaling species and you should put them in a group of 10 or more. The more bigger is the group the more beauty it will add to your aquarium. These fishes will add activity and color to your tank. Don't add 1-2 because they may feel threatened and nervous and may loose their color. These fishes loves plant allot and like to hide in fish tank decorations such as leaves whenever feel threatened. So add lots of live plants and hiding spots in form of decorations. Don't put them with large fishes or aggressive fishes like angel otherwise they will eat them or bully them. These are peaceful and can live with other fishes of same size. They love nitrate free water change 25 % of water once in a week.
Temperature : 21 to 27 degree Celsius(70 - 81 degree Fahrenheit)
Size of fish tank: At least 10 gallons
Size : 1 inch
Diet : omnivorous, can eat brine shrimps, daphnia, most flake food.
pH: 5 - 7
Breeding : Egg scatterer
lifespan : 5 years +
Neon Tetra Breeding at home
Neon tetra breeding is quite complicated.They get ready for breeding at nine month of age. Breeding neon tetra is hard job especially for beginners. However it is possible under good circumstances. This is one of the reason why neon tetra are imported in U.S.A. However school of neon tetras can produce hundreds of eggs in month. The female gets ready to spawn in every 2 weeks. But many eggs and fry fail to develop or get eaten by other tank mates or parents. But you can get success if you do it correctly.
You will need separate breeding tank:
For breeding neon tetra you will need separate breeding tank. So that as soon as eggs will get fertilized you should be able to remove parents as quickly as possible. Get 10 gallon fish tank for breeding. The fish tank should not contain any gravel or sand. You can use rock to cover the bottom of fish tank at least of 2-3 inches. You should have lid to cover the fish tank else neon tetra may jump out during spawning. Remove any other fish or snail else they will eat the eggs. It is advised to sterilise the items you add in the fish tank by boiling them to 20 minutes. Add fine textured aquatic plant. Put rainwater if possible or pour aged water.
Run fish tank filter in aged water to built beneficial bacteria colonies. Put sponge filter at very slow rate with closed tight ends. Add the male and female tetras in evening. You can add breeding mop to aquarium. Some aquarist let the level of nitrogen rise and then change 50 % of water to simulate rain. As this happens in Amazon which is natural home of neon tetras. It is observed that neon tetras spawn at morning time. Use a dim light or cover the aquarium to exclude extra light. Eggs are light sensitive and may get damaged in light. Set the fish tank heater to 70 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Feed them live food half of the time to induce spawning. You can give them mosquito larvae or worms or brine shrimps.
Observe the spawning behaviour:
The male neon tetra will court the female by swimming around her in square pattern using short jerky movements by periods of motion less. The reduced girth of female and the decrease in interest level of both in each other will show you that the spawning is completed. You can see eggs if you look closely. After spawning remove the parents from the tank. They may give 40- 50 eggs in captivity. But not all eggs will turn into fry. The eggs will hatch in 24 to 30 hrs. In 3-4 days fry will become free swimmers.
Neon tetra eggs are very small and you can feed them infusoria. Infusoria will serve the need, however you can give them rotifers and egg yolk for 1 - 4 weeks. After hatching, change 20% of water every week. After one month of time fry will start displaying colors.

When the young boy first came to Avalon, he had thought the sight of the weak and poor people gathered in the slums was the same as what you would find in any other city.
When some enemies called the Crusaders arrived, he had left the village of Kuar with his family – And after that, only hell awaited them.
His dependable father was crushed to death. His kind mother was torn to pieces. The older brother he idolized was shot, and he watched his adorable younger sister disappeared in a fiercely burning flame.
Even so, he has experienced even more painful things, and these tragedies of the past remain only as memories.
He has nothing that he can call a memento from his parents. If anything, the memento from his parents is his healthy body, where their blood runs through his veins.
But with no other relatives, that alone was insufficient for him to live a happy life again.
At least, that was the conclusion that he came to as a child in Spada, and it was not necessarily an incorrect conclusion.
The surviving refugees were busy living their own lives, and the important societal notion of mutual aid had been forgotten. Nobody had thought to help one powerless boy – no, it was financially impossible.
The leader of the refugees, the chief of Kuar village, had suddenly disappeared. So it was impossible for them to unite into a single group again.
Even so, the boy had left Spada holding onto a tiny bit of hope, and ended up wandering to Avalon.
Of course, even here, there was nowhere for an orphan to go but the slums.
The boy understood that no matter where he went, he was trapped in this dark, dirty, crumbling labyrinth that he could never break free of.
Spada, Avalon – Knowing the countries' names did not change anything; the slums were the same anywhere – This is what he first thought.
「Yo, what's up with those oranges?」
The boy is holding a basket full of oranges, missing only one, and another boy calls out to him. The other boy is turning fifteen next year, well on his way to adulthood.
He has spiky, dark blonde hair, odd pegs attached to his clothes, and a large, menacing dagger in his fist.
It is the usual clothing and weapon that one would see on a hoodlum around here.
Behind him are two more boys of similar age and appearance, with smiles on their faces.
Stealing and extorting from the weak is an everyday occurrence in the slums.
「I stole it from a heretic.」
「That's a good attitude you've got, priest-sama will be happy, too – Actually, he should be coming soon, follow us.」
The boy was acquainted with these three young men.
They are his friends who live in the same orphanage, run by the Church of White Light.
The boy and the three young men are all wearing cross-shaped accessories on their bodies, showing that they are companions that share the same belief.
「There's preparations for tomorrow's ceremony, so don't get in the way.」
「I know that!」
The boy replies like a cute little brother, and the other three laugh.
The boy is not shy of them; he idolizes them and speaks openly with them.
「Well, we've got some other stuff to do, so see ya later.」
As they part, the boy takes an orange from the basket and tosses it to them.
「Hehe, thanks.」
「Be grateful for the Holy Mother's Blessings!」
With that, the boy clutches his basket that has lost yet another orange, and runs into the dirty alleyway.
His expression is not that of someone who is tired of seeing the ever-unchanging slums.
The scene reflected in his eyes does not change, but to him, this filthy townscape feels bright, as if it was being bathed in a pure, white light.
This causes a ray of hope to shine in the boy's heart.
The one that gave him this light of hope is –
The boy reaches his destination.
This worn-down two-story apartment made of stone right in the middle of the slums is the Church of White Light's orphanage that he lives in.
At the entrance is a pair of large, half-rotten wooden double-doors. There was a small crowd in front of the gate.
The people gathered there are children living at the orphanage like the boy, but they are all very small children, younger than him.
In the middle of the children is a young man, shining with a pure white light, wearing a dazzling priest's robe.
「Ah, welcome home.」
The young priest's blue eyes turn their distant gaze towards him as he welcomes him.
Just that is enough to fill the boy's heart with an indescribable joy.
The priest is only a year or two older than him, but the boy holds greater respect and affection for him than he did his own parents.
The priest saved him and guided him – Yes, guided him – along the true path of belief that all humans should walk. He is the great person who showed him the「Guidance of the White Light.」
「Ah, that looks super-delicious! Where did you get those?」
The red-haired girl who is always by the priest's side raises her high-pitched voice as she points at the basket of oranges in the boy's hands.
「Ah, th-this...」
He inadvertently begins stuttering, not because of the girl's revealing clothes that would stimulate sexual desires even in a child, but because of the direct gaze of the priest's eyes.
「I can eat these, right? Well, I'm eating them!」
Before he realizes it, she has taken the entire basket.
「Hey, it's time for a snack!」
She disappears into the orphanage, and the crowd of children gathered around follows her inside like a cheerful storm.
It is possible that the boy would not even get a taste of the oranges that he has obtained. The children of the orphanage are always hungry.
He lets out a small sigh with a sad expression as he realizes this, but –
「You did the right thing.」
He raises his head at the sudden voice, and the beautiful, white face of the priest is right in front of him.
「Ah, ye-yes!」
「Blessings are upon us, the Children of God, while the Heretics must atone.」
The boy is still a child, ignorant of the true meaning of that phrase. He does not even know what some of the words mean. But he knows what he should say in response.
「May the White Light guide your path.」
As the boy recites the phrase, the young priest disappears into the orphanage.

I finally had the chance to visit her magical store, which is a lot like her work, filled with the most delicate details everywhere you look. This is one of those places where you can easily spend the afternoon rummaging around, so if you are planning a trip to London make sure to add this shop to your list.
I hope you liked the glimpse of her store, it is a really inspiring store. Just in case you live really far away, she also has a lovely online store.
Jessie's shop is located at 158a Columbia Road

How To Be Happy Though Dead
Lowry refers to a fictional book in Dana's drunken ramblings to the German sailor Popplereuter in Chapter 3 of Ultramarine; "Read my collected works first, several thousand volumes.....paying special attention to my masterpiece, How To Be Happy Though Dead. "
Lowry's reference is a joke most likely upon a series of books by Reverend E.J. Hardy including How To Be Happy Though Married and How To Be Happy Though Civil.

2. He plays the guitar; I play with my hair. We've promised to teach each other the other's skills though, so it's cool.
3. He can eat fish without gagging due to the odour! This is one of the ten absolute must have superpowers if you ask me.
4. He comes up with very innovative names for me. Last week, he {kinda} turned around Bubblegum and started calling me Gigglebum. The best I can come up with is Hottie. {And Potty.}
5. He can burp at will! (On second thought, I am pretty sure that this is a gender thing, one that I will never be able to accomplish. But what a weapon against enemies!)
6. He eats pretty much anything I cook for him. I, on the other hand, throw the food I make on myself at times 'coz it is so bad! The ability to eat bad food is sadly a skill that evades me, and it is one that I need to develop if I need to live with myself for the next 80 years! Otherwise, I might just kill myself, and it is not gonna be suicide. It's gonna be murder!
7. He is the most chilled out person I know. He is a-ok with everything. EVERYTHING. While sometimes, this bugs the bejeesus outta me because he comes across as like he doesn't care, I gotta appreciate the fact that of the gazillion fights that we have had, he probably started 5 of them. Of course, all the fights are because of him, because I am always right (you better believe it!), but he didn't start any of them. That counts for something.
8. He can drive without hitting things / people / puppies. Let's just say that I on the other hand, can't. Watch out, yo!
9. He can read maps. He can read maps like a pro! Spatial abilities evade me and I am envious, bitter and resentful of this.
10. He wakes up at 7:00 AM, goes to work at 8, comes back sometimes at 11:30 at night and still doesn't go to sleep without reading from his fatter than a tree trunk Statistics book because he wants to learn. I cannot even tell you how much I admire that about him. If anyone deserves an extra 24 hours each day, it is him. This is how I know that he is gonna make it really big someday.and that is how I'm gonna get me my first Louboutins.
A note to Thom: This is my Happy Valentine's Day gift to you. Now you have about a month to think of something spectacular to gimme! :)

Burt Munro's enthusiasm, determination, persistence, ingenuity is fascinating and inspiring for all of us. And it is definitely time for his native country of New Zealand to honor him. A larger-than-life bronze sculpture of Burt Munro on his modified Indian motorcycle might soon be gracing the park of the city of Invercargill where he was living and working. The sculpture will be done by a Roddy McMillan, a local sculptor .City officials will approve the project on Monday.

Fantastic, A true genius to look up to
Feb 13th, 2010 at 10:15 am
Great to see a true legend being commemorated. During the first semester of each school year I show the movie, "The World's Fastest Indian" teach a lesson on land speed racing and motorcycles and Usually have a guest appearance byLaura Klock and this year, Ross Thomas. My students are usually amazed. Young people don't realize what pioneers like Burt did to help change the way manufacturers look at the motorcyle. The racing culture , like the custom culture, inadvertantly as well as directly influences design in the mainstream manufacturing industry. We are all recpipiants of the "offerings to the gods of speed". Thanks Burt.
Feb 13th, 2010 at 12:22 pm
Burt was an incredible human being, deserving of recognition.

IMOP, Burt Munro is one of the greatest ! Not spoiled by corporate money, rich parents, or sponsors…… Not that any of those things are necessarily bad. Burt did almost everything himself with almost nothing and broke records that stood for decades. A TRUE pioneer and a legend……
I would like to see a few builders in our industry build there own engine / trans, and the bike, then go blast the salt flats and break a records.. There are a few guys at the AMD that build there own engine but they are not a true race bike. Its just another bling contest.
As Ive said before Burt Munro, John Britten, Michael Czysz are a few of my heroes and quite possible legends in the the motorcycle industry along with several others.
ANYONE, that builds the WHOLE bike in there shop and takes it out to the track has my attention and utmost respect !
Burt Munro: built his stuff in a small 'shack' …New Zealand
John Britten: built in his garage…New Zealand
Michael Czysz: built in a modern "F1" facility…Portland Oregon
Feb 13th, 2010 at 7:58 pm
I only have two hero's and they both come from N.Z Munroe and Britten, Burt inpired me wich was a little evident in my last build
And my goal is to one day race the flats, this man shows you what you can do if you are detirmend and I will teach my children of this legend" Burt Munroe" and hopfully they will teach theres!!
Feb 14th, 2010 at 12:23 am
Burt has got to be every man's hero. His story is so inspiring that he has to be one of a handfull of the greatest motorcycle racers in history.
Feb 14th, 2010 at 2:19 am
He deserves it….
Feb 14th, 2010 at 2:36 am
A true hero and a man who just went out and did it on next to no money. A true inspiration to many and the man responsible for the resurgence in motorcycle and car salt flats racing. Long live Indians mate. It was a true honor to be involved in the movie and bring it to the world on the big screen. Rightfully and well deserved M8.
Feb 14th, 2010 at 3:42 am
i notice that there lots innovative people live in New Zealand for example John Britten
Feb 14th, 2010 at 10:06 am
Yes there are a lot of innovative people from New Zealand. One of the reasons is because we are from the other end of the world and we did not have access (or money) to many things therefore we had to create it. We had an excellent apprenticeship program for all trades that craftsman would pass along their skills and challenge us. It was a great time but unfortunately the apprenticeship program now is non existant. With the avaialbilty of good incomes anyone can BUY whatever they want from anywhere in the world and have it shipped to their doorstep in a matter of days. Probably up through the 80's it took weeks if not months for something to be shipped in and goods were expensive. Both made folks innovative. It was truly a great era
Feb 15th, 2010 at 8:30 am
No words! One of the best! The film about his live is realy impressive to.
Feb 15th, 2010 at 11:13 am
Hail, Hail, the Great Burt Monro!
Feb 16th, 2010 at 1:02 pm
Burt was a personal friend of mine. He stayed with me before going on to Bonneville on 2
differnt occasions, both in the eary seventies.
Extremely tallented and completely focused on racing the 2 bikes he dedicated his life to,
the INDIAN and VELOCETTE, working with no money and primetive building techniques, Burt was the purest form of the motorcycle racing enthusiast that could be reached, only concerned with
making his motorcycle go faster every time it went out. He couldn't have cared less about the glory,
only the ride, thrill and accomplishment of achieving greater speed were his goal.
One letter written by Burt to me stated " I have blown up the Velo for the 100th time, but have found the problem and fixed it".
When a reporter asked Burt why he raced motorcycles that were old and out of production his
reply was " I've always said never start anything you can"t finish". Burt was on a motorcycle quest
that could only be finishd with death, this was the only thing that would end his focus.
I was very fortunate to have met and spent time with Burt when I was a young enthusiast myself.

The memories of my deported family brought forward other reminiscences. A couple of times in the early '90s I went to Russia for various children's literature events where I would meet children's writers from all over the world. At one of these gatherings I met Otfried Preussler. He used to be a special favourite, one of those whose books I and my friends read when we were quite grownup and loved: The Little Witch, The Little Ghost, The Little Water-Sprite. The Little Witch was in Russian called The Little Baba-Yaga. Thinking back, I am not sure whether it was a lucky translation. But the books were wonderful. Remember, we didn't have access to much of the Western children's literature, so the many stories about nice witches and scared ghosts were not known to us, therefore Preussler's books felt so different and fresh, and they were humorous and witty and lacked the didacticism we were fed up with. The little Baba-Yaga was a bit like Pippi Longstocking, whom we didn't know either before we were grownup. We used to read the books aloud for each other.
As a grownup, I certainly prefer The Satanic Mill, but that's another story.
Imagine how thrilled I was to meet this great writer. Children's literature gatherings are always lively social events, so there were long dinners with plenty of strong beverages, and at some point I was sitting beside Preussler who started talking Russian to me. Perfect Russian. He had learned it in a Russian POW camp. To that, I could only reply by telling the story of my German family, stating that there was presumably little difference between POW camps and labour camps for deported Germans.
After which we started singing German songs. First children's songs, crying and laughing in turns. But after another shot of vodka, we went over to dirty songs. That a nice well-behaved Russian girl resident in Sweden knew German dirty songs might have come as a surprise, but by that time nothing mattered beside our common cultural heritage.
