Car News: Oversteer
They're Coming: Here Are All the Ultra-Luxury SUVs
If you wanted a really expensive SUV 3 years ago, you were choosing between a Range Rover and a Mercedes-Benz G-Class. If you wanted an even more expensive SUV, you added a few options. That was it. Those were your only choices.
Not anymore.
Although automotive-industry experts will tell you the fastest-growing segment in the industry right now is subcompact crossovers like the FIAT 500X, the Mazda CX-3, the Audi Q3, the Chevy Trax and the Mercedes-Benz GLA, that's only true if you go by sales volume. If you consider the actual number of competitors, the ultra-luxury SUV has grown much faster -- from zero just 2 years ago to a half-dozen (and counting) within the next 2 or 3 model years.
Since it's hard to keep track of all these new high-end SUVs, here's what's coming -- or what's already arrived -- in the world of the expensive SUV.
Aston Martin DBX
Yes, it's true: The brand of sleek, exotic, perfectly proportioned sports cars driven by James Bond is coming out with an SUV. Revealed in concept form at last year's Geneva Auto Show, the DBX will show up in production form sometime in the next few years. But first, Aston Martin has to build a factory in Wales that can handle another model's production volume. So what exactly is the DBX? Given that the concept car looked like a regular Aston Martin coupe with a lift kit, we're not exactly sure what to expect from a production model -- and it's possible that Aston hasn't even finalized it yet, either. One noteworthy item, however: The DBX Concept was fully electric.
Bentley Bentayga
Bentley's ultra-luxury SUV is already on sale, combining the amazing straight-line performance of a Bentley sedan or coupe with the seating position and ride quality of an upscale SUV. In fact, the Bentayga might just be the perfect overall car, with enough luxury-vehicle, sports-car and SUV characteristics, plus cutting-edge technology, to satisfy just about every driver. Except for one little problem: the price tag. The Bentayga starts at $230,000 with shipping, and that's before you start picking options from the hilariously long list of extras.
Lamborghini Urus
Revealed in concept form more than 4 years ago, the Urus is intended to be an SUV from in-your-face sports-car manufacturer Lamborghini. And while some purists may cry sacrilege at the idea of a Rolls-Royce or Aston Martin SUV, it's worth noting that Lamborghini has been down this road before, building the V12-powered LM002 in the late 1980s. The Urus, however, will likely be a little more exciting to drive than the LM002 -- and a lot sleeker, if the concept version is anything to go on. Right now, Lamborghini says the Urus will go on sale in 2018, which (in case you haven't noticed) is rapidly approaching.
Maserati Levante
The Maserati Levante is the only model on this list that isn't really an ultra-luxury SUV, given that its starting price is just $73,000. But it's undoubtedly a luxury SUV from an exotic brand, formerly known only for its efforts in the world of powerful sports cars and exciting sport sedans. Aimed directly at high-end versions of the BMW X5 and the Range Rover Sport, the Italian-built Levante offers two V6 engines (one naturally aspirated, one turbocharged) with up to 424 horsepower -- and there's reportedly a 500-plus-hp model on the way.
Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG and G500 4x4 Squared
Although the Mercedes-Benz G-Class has been an ultra-luxury SUV ever since its U.S.-market debut for the 2002 model year, things have really gotten crazy in the last 12 months. Two exciting new models have arrived: the G65 AMG, which is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 that makes 621 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque, and the G-Class 4x4 Squared, an off-road-oriented G-Class that features portal axles for extra ground clearance. All of this sounds very cool until you check the pricing: The G65 AMG starts at $219,800 with shipping, while the impressively capable 4x4 Squared will likely be right around that figure.
Range Rover LWB Autobiography
Not content to sit out in the segment that it helped create, Land Rover is battling back against the new crop of ultra-luxury SUVs with one of its own: the Range Rover LWB Autobiography. While the standard Range Rover starts from just $85,900 with shipping, the LWB Autobiography model (now mysteriously called the SVAutobiography) costs an impressive $200,495 with destination. That's a big figure -- but then again, it includes everything, including 24-way power front seats, a rear center console with a bottle chiller, rear tables, an automatic parking system and so much more.
Rolls-Royce Cullinan
Maybe the upcoming ultra-luxury SUV to end all ultra-luxury SUVs is the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, presumably named after enormous Cullinan Diamond. Although we have no idea what it's going to look like, what engine will be powering it and when it's going to come out, we know this for sure: If Rolls-Royce's other models give us any indication, the Cullinan will likely be the most opulent SUV of all time. Then again, it might also be the most expensive. My guess at the Cullinan's basics: Expect a V12 under the hood, a starting price over $300,000, and a release date sometime in 2019.

Know that feeling when you're about halfway through a cup of coffee and realize you don't know for sure if you've got breakfast supplies? You kind of shuffle to the fridge and open the door with your eyes half shut, hoping against all hope that you managed to leave yourself enough ingredients to make a killer breakfast because... let's face it... you're kind of starving.

I'm happy to say I squeaked by again this week. WOOHOO!
|I had mine with some tortilla chips to add back in a few carbs, I'm working out in a bit and need the fuel! Side note, how rad are those pants?!
Breakfast Burritos for Two, serves 2 (10-15 minutes)
1 T Smart Balance
4 large egg whites
3 jumbo egg whites
3 jumbo eggs
1/2 container of Garden Highway Pico de Gallo (you can find it at Safeway)
1/4 C shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 medium haas avocado
4 La Tortilla Factory Low Carb Tortillas
Melt Smart Balance in a pan over medium heat.
Add eggs and scramble with a spatula, cook until desired doneness
Take off heat and add pico de gallo and cheese
One quarter of the egg mixture goes on each tortilla and then you divide avocado slices evenly amongst the plates
Super easy, super delicious!

When I make this again, I think I'll leave out the cheese. I'm finding myself liking it less and less in dishes. By itself, I could probably eat it by the pound. But with eggs, I'm starting to not be a huge fan. Leaving the cheese off this recipe changes the macros as follows: 470 calories, 31g carbs, 24g fat, 42g protein.

Travel guides should mention that driving is one of the best ways to catch a genuine glimpse of what a country really is.
In the early 1990s, I found driving in the San Francisco Bay Area an extraordinary lesson.
"Look!" my husband exclaimed whenever we drove on highway One-O-One or Two- Eighty.
For a man who loved cars he was spoiled. No French Renault, Citroen or Peugeot but lots of BMWs, Mercedes. We had not seen as many in Europe, except in Germany. And of course lots of mythic American cars. They had filled my husband's imagination when he was a little boy growing up in the Parisian suburbs. These cars, however fancier, shinier and faster than most French vehicles, ambled along highways.
"Why do they stay in the same lanes?" I asked when I noticed that the drivers kept the same speed, oblivious of fast and slow lanes. In comparison to French roads, American roads were in poor condition. Could it explain why the vast majority of people drove within the speed limit, which was lower than it was in France?
"I cannot believe it," my husband said, as he passed once a red Corvette from the right lane, something forbidden in France but apparently okay in California.
"Your hands on the wheel!" I said, glancing at the Corvette still inching its way in the fast lane. A woman in her fifties was applying mascara while holding a mug. "Unbelievable" I added, caught between disbelief and awe.
"You know," my husband said, a smile growing on his lips. "It's cool here! Honestly I was tired of the morning race on the périph."
"Agree, the beltway was crazy, but I don't think it's cool to see them putting on makeup while driving."
He shrugged one shoulder. "Like it or not, you are going to learn how to drive here, remember?"
No, I would not be able to bail out. We were lucky to live downtown Palo Alto, but I knew that I would have to get my driver's license to live a true American life.
I really got a perfect score on my driving written test.
My husband had a point: Driving in the USA was more relaxing than in France but the rules were strange.
People waited patiently at stop signs, respecting the first-come-first-served-American-principle like a Bible commandment – no, it would never work in France. Unlike the French who never spoke to strangers in the street but cursed at each other from their cars, the Americans talked a lot everywhere except when they drove. Behind the wheel, they seemed blind and deaf. Most of the time, they didn't use their blinker and they hogged the passing lane, while eating, drinking, or even reading the paper. No wonder the American drove cars with automatic gearshifts. In France, drivers needed their two hands and two feet.
We drove a similar car in our early years in California.
Even more than cars themselves, their customized license plates puzzled us when we first arrived. In France, at that time, all cars were registered in the driver's département of residence –similar to an American state, only much, much smaller.
Map of France with the départements. I've lived in the 61, 14 and 75.
When we drove in California, plates such as: BCHDYZ, ZUUUMZM, BZ OMA, or ET 4 EVR triggered our immediate interest. We spent lots of time deciphering them. It was satisfying when we understood they actually meant something and amusing when we could read them as well as natives. Well, what we understood didn't mean that we exactly got the meaning. Customized license plates are similar to jokes. The best ones don't easily translate and some customized American plates sometimes fall flat when read by a French person. Years later when our children could read they would sometimes laugh at some license plates that their parents didn't find especially funny.
Besides license plates, their frames fascinated me. They hinted at many interesting American character traits. This country, I discovered with amazement, is full of alumni, sports fans, bragging dogs' owners, proud parents, even prouder grandparents, bigheaded guys, people who'd rather do something else (preferably something expensive or gutsy), be somewhere else (preferably a posh location), and lots of people with strong beliefs.
Years later, "I'd rather be" makes more sense than in the 1990s. After all, a country that pursues a permanent quest toward eternal youth and a shinier future can only wish to be somewhere else or to do something else.
More than two decades have passed since these early discoveries. All over the country people drive much faster than they did when I first drive in the US. Yet American drivers remain much more courteous than anywhere in the world. And yes, their cars are still their second homes where they phone and text rather than read the paper. Applying makeup, shaving and brushing teeth still occur.
And what about those bumper stickers that triggered my curiosity and my father's remarks when he visited us in our early days in the US?
Like me, he immediately observed that American cars voiced political views. His surprise came from the fact that no one seemed to mind, even when people passed each other and shared drastically different beliefs.
Personne ne klaxonne et ne fait de queue de poisson, my father said.
He was right: Nobody honked or cut somebody up. It wouldn't work in France, my father concluded.
What he meant is that it would have triggered heated debate, something that I sometimes missed in California where everyone respected everyone so much that people preferred to agree rather than starting an argument. On the other side, the French openly voiced their political opinions but wouldn't display them on bumper stickers, respecting the infamous French privacy but perhaps (I started to wonder) fearing possible confrontation.
During the last presidential campaign I quickly noticed the relative absence of bumper stickers throughout the United States. Clearly the most unpleasant campaign since my arrival in the US, I wondered if we had reached the moment where we feared our fellow citizens' opinions so much that we were no longer able to agree to disagree.
Then I spotted aggressive statements. Which could only make any reasonable person's blood pressure skyrocket and much worse deepen the divide between us. Maybe, I thought, it would be better to go sans bumper stickers.
In the 1990s I missed the meaning of some statements, something that I can no longer pretend. Soon I will be driving through our big country again. So I've decided to simply ignore the mean and ugly and pay attention to the heartfelt.
Peace messages have made a huge comeback. Yeah, they hint to another era, but peace is never old-fashioned, right? Earth and environment stickers are also a big hit. Animals make great bumper stickers. Whether tamed or wild, they remind us that we are companions on this one planet.
And of course there is always the So-Many-Sticker-Car we always pass at some point on one these road trips.
This kind of car suggests a country that remains so unselfconscious it can be funny.

Most Cruel Things Done to Animals in the Entertainment Industry
I recently wrote several articles on cruelty to animals, from that of cruelty to pets, farm animals, and wildlife. It was pointed out that I had missed one area of cruelty; cruelty to animals in the entertainment industry.
Horse Racing
There are many types of horse racing, some more cruel than others. Certainly horses enjoy racing, but this does not negate some of the cruelty involved in getting horses ready to race. Some thoroughbreds are ridden as late yearlings, while many other horses would not even start training until age three, or four. This puts strain on their legs which is then made worse by the fact that as two year olds they are races in short distance sprints. Running short distances at maximum speed is very hard on a young horse's legs.
In North America race horses are almost exclusively stabled at the race track for the racing season, kept in tiny stalls for most of the day, not only is this boring, but it weakens bone density. In the USA alone over 800 racehorses die from fatal injuries on the race track, many more are injured or otherwise "culled" as not being good enough.
National hunt racing, formerly referred to as steeplechase racing, is more cruel than flat racing, with many horses dying on the track, as such it is mostly only older geldings that are used in this form of racing.
Dog Racing
Greyhound racing is becoming less popular in some areas than it once was. Thousands of dogs die as a result of injury or exhaustion, many others are killed because they are not fast enough. There is even a term "Playing the piano" given for one cruel way that the dogs sometimes are killed; hung by their necks, with their front legs moving as though playing a piano. This industry produces far more dogs than are needed for racing, and although adopt-a-greyhound rescue centers do exist, they are not able to help the majority of culled dogs.
Horses, cattle, and sometimes other animals are often subject to cruel treatment at rodeos. If you look at the bucking horses in particular you will note a strap tightened around the horse, just in front of its hind legs, this is to cause discomfort and make it buck. You will also notice the cowboys wear sharp spurs and earn points for raking their spurs over the shoulders of the horse. Many calves suffer injury, and stress, when used in roping events. Occasionally they even break their necks or legs. In chuckwagon races, it is not uncommon for horses to get injured or die during a race.
There are also many rodeo events that many people are unaware of, which case great stress to the animals, such as wild pony racing.
Fighting Events
There are many events that involve pitting one animal against another, for entertainment. Cockfighting and dog fighting are the best known, however in some places even horses are put together to fight for the entertainment of the crowd; stallions are put in an arena, with mares nearby, the stallions fight each other.
Of course some fighting events, such as bullfighting, are man versus animal.
Other fighting events involve animals of different species and are called "baiting" such as dogs vs badgers, or dogs vs bulls or mules, in which case the bull or mule is often tied up. Many of these events are illegal.
Animals Used in Movies and Television
There have been many cases where animals were made to suffer for media entertainment. Trip wires have been used to cause horses to fall in movies such as Reds and Rambo III, in one case during the filming of The Thirteenth Warrior, a horse had its leg cut open by the wires and had to be put down.. It has been reported that man animals were brutalized during the filming of Heaven's Gate, including a horse who had an explosive set off underneath it. During the filming of the movie Ben Hur over a hundred horses reportedly died, most during the chariot race scene. The list goes on. Source.
In other cases animals were put in false situations when nature documentaries were filmed. In the Disney documentary, White Wilderness, the lemmings did not just jump over a cliff, they were forced over, and others were flung over by a machine built by the crew, the scene itself was filmed in Calgary, Alberta, where lemmings are not normally found.
Swimming with the Dolphins
Dolphins, and other marine life, are usually covered with a slime coat that protects their skin. When this is touched it rubs off leaving the animal vulnerable for diseases. Additionally some dolphins are kept in very small pools for the sole purpose of entertainment.
Cruelty to animals has been a huge issue for circuses. The animals, most particularly the elephants, have very unnatural lives, they travel constantly, do not get to enjoy any sort of freedom, and abuse in training is not uncommon.
Dancing Bears
These are bears that are caught wild when they are young, taken from their mothers, and used for entertainment. The bears are muzzled and have a ring through their nose, they are prodded with a stick to "dance", often for the entertainment of tourists.
Pictures with Koala Bears
In Australia people sometimes want to have their picture taken with a koala bear. While there may seem to be no cruelty in this at all, koala bears are very sensitive animals and those used in this way have shortened lifespans.
High Diving Mules, Donkeys, and Horses
This is another very cruel act. The animals are often observed being whipped while they are forced to jump off a platform into a large pool of water. Very often they do not even jump off the platform, it is rigged to fall out from beneath them causing them to fall. This is very traumatic for the animals, and risks injury if they fall wrong.

Thanks Brenda. I dont think cruelty regarding Koalas and High Diving Mules is common knowledge so information on this is educational. In bucking events the goal is not to cause pain. If a horse were in pain he would not buck and rules within professional associations regulate such activity. The strap is called a flank strap, it is about 4 inches wide and covered in sheepskin which is quite soft.
Adding - something can be cruel even if cruelty in itself is not the goal - for example - killing fetal lambs for Broadtail fur is cruel, the goal is the fur, not to be cruel.
Thanks Joan. I have worked with horses specifically for years, gone to college to study them, worked on the race track briefly - horse farms, and live in the heart of Rodeo country - Alberta. Regarding the Koalas, Dancing Bears, High Diving Mules, Circuses and Dolphins, this stuff is pretty much common knowledge. I did source some of the information about the movies from http://listverse.com/2010/02/01/10-debated-acts-of-animal-cruelty/ I was originally going to go into the number of pups that died filming recent Disney movies - due to Parvo, but felt this was not appropriate since Parvo is a disease. In bucking events the goal is to cause pain. Pain to make them buck higher (bucking strap) and pain as the result of raking the spurs over the shoulders. In other events the goal is not to cause pain, or to scare them but it does happen even if not the goal.
Good comment Nobert. The examples you provided is where the focus on animal cruelty should be where the intent is to injure and or kill. That is not the case in rodeo events.
Brenda if you are going to go on about cruelty to animals and voice your opinion I suggest you also display your source of referrence and accurate data.
Very true! In the Philippines, the most common is cock fighting. It's one of the biggest gambling event here other than race horse events.
At least no animals were harmed in the making of this series. Thanks for the public service announcements.

SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. - At Shepherd University, Dervon Wallace is the "Big Man on Campus."
Not to be outdone, the players on the Shepherd defense are quickly becoming "Big Men on Campus."
Wallace rushed for 194 yards on 23 carries and three touchdowns and the defense came up with several mammoth plays as Shepherd stopped Glenville State 23-6 on Saturday in front of 2,365 fans at Ram Stadium.
Shepherd (4-0, 1-0) extended its regular-season winning streak to 22 and its West Virginia Conference string to 17 straight wins.
Despite keeping Glenville off the scoreboard until the fourth quarter, the win was no piece of cake for the Rams.
"They came off a game beating a team (Charleston) we thought would challenge in the conference," Cater said. "We knew they would be excited about coming here. And they had some athletes on that field."
Glenville (1-3, 1-1) pressured Shepherd between the 20s, ran six more offensive plays and possessed the football for five minutes longer than the Rams. But the Pioneers couldn't crack the steel front of the Rams when the game was still in doubt.

The Shield (2002)
4 continuity mistakes in season 3
Starring: Catherine Dent, Michael Chiklis, Michael Jace, Walton Goggins
Continuity mistake: Claudette and Dutch are questioning a man in a leather jacket about his involvement in a meth lab. Claudette passes the man a photo, he doesn't recognise the girl, tosses it back across the table and Claudette reaches for it with her right hand. The shot changes and now the photo is in Claudette's left hand as she sets it down. (00:30:50)AngryBird
Continuity mistake: Aceveda and Vic are interrogating a man about the 'Narco Corrido' murders. Aceveda pushes the man into the corner of the room and begins to kick him. He get about six good kicks in before Vic diffuses the situation. After, Aceveda storms out of The Barn in anger, and Vic views the recording from the interrogation room. The footage is inconsistent as to what transpired earlier, in fact it is an entirely different take. Aceveda only manages about two kicks before Vic says "Enough, enough" - this and the rest of the dialogue is also conflicting. (00:29:30)AngryBird
Continuity mistake: As Vic, Lem and Ronnie are talking to the two men at the table, they restrain the men (seemingly only Juan is handcuffed, with his arms behind him - Ronnie seems to only pin one of the other men's arms behind him). After Vic, Lem and Ronnie walk away, at no point do they undo at least Juan's handcuffs, but immediately the two men are rubbing their freed hands. (00:21:40)AngryBird
Continuity mistake: During the fight scene between Shane and Tavon, the stereo speakers get knocked off the shelf. After they crash into the wall, and a picture falls off, they tackle each other and fall to the ground. As they tackle each other, we get a shot of the floor at the bottom of the shelf and there are no speakers there. Later when Mara comes into the room, as she picks up the iron, the speakers are visible in the background. (00:40:40)AngryBird

Key features:
Since your savings will be locked away for a fixed period of time when you opt for a term deposit, the first thing you have to ask yourself is, 'how long do I want to put this money away for?'
The general rule is the longer the term, the better interest rate you'll snag, and the St.George Term Deposit is no different. The highest interest rate on offer is 2.80%, when you stash your money away for 5 years. If you can't commit to such a long period, then the one year rate is nothing to sneeze at, as it comes in at 2.40%.
With the St.George Term Deposit, you're able to automatically rollover into a new term once the agreed period is over, or you can close the account at the end of the term. And you'll be able to have all that interest paid into your St.George bank account or an account at another bank if you want.
The minimum amount of money you'll need to open a St.George Term Deposit is $1000, and the maximum amount is $250,000.
Who it's good for:
While most term deposits are most effective the longer you stash your cash, the St.George Term Deposit also has a few great shorter term deals. So if you're not sold on a long-haul commitment, it might be a good choice for you.
Any catches?
As with any term deposit, if you decide you want to withdraw your money before the maturity date, then the amount of interest you'll earn will decrease significantly.
Another thing to remember is that if you allow your original deposit to automatically rollover into a new term, you may not get the same interest rate you had before - so be sure to check what deal you're getting and make arrangements for when your term comes to an end.

Free Things To Do In Los Angeles and Beverly Hills ____________________ Los Angeles and its neighboring community of Beverly Hills doesn't have to be expensive. In fact, there's tons of free things to do in Los Angeles. Our weather allows for an average of 284 sunny days a year. Even if it's not the perfect amount of sunshine, the remaining days should be pretty much clear of rain, since our average annual rainfall hovers around 15 inches. So the first thing on our "free" list includes exploring the great outdoors. Places like Runyon Canyon and Griffith Park are great starting locations for a hike in the hills above Hollywood. While in Griffith Park, visit the observatory. It's one of the
Free Things To Do In Los Angeles
Visit Griffith Park in Los Angeles
Coming to our city? One must visit Griffith Park in Los Angeles …. or at least part of it. At just under 5000 acres, the park is one of the largest urban parks in the United States, and North America. Griffith Park in Los Angeles is about 5 times the size of Central Park in New York! Approximately 3000 acres were donated to the city by Griffith J. Griffith in 1896, and it's continued to grow in size ever since. All of us native Angelenos take advantage of the numerous hiking trails throughout the park. Most are dog-friendly, as are most things in Los Angeles. Many of the best hiking trails start at or near the gem of the park,
Los Angeles El Nino Arriving by January
Rain. We rarely see it in Los Angeles. L.A. averages about 14 inches per year. There's been quite a bit of talk recently about the Los Angeles El Nino due to bring potential downpours beginning just prior to January. We certainly need it, for our reservoirs are depleted and our hills are brown with our years' long drought. This shouldn't stop Angelenos and tourists from enjoying our fantastic city. In fact, Glitterati Tours of Los Angeles actually gets busier during a rainy day, for most guests would rather be in a warm car rather than outdoors at a soaking wet amusement park.

so my first audition was interesting. lol. first of all i could NOT find the darn place..i seriously had to call four times to get the directions cuz she kept goofin me up. i made it though, handed over my make shift resume and headshot (a little 4x6 and printed resume i printed out 10 min before) and grabbed the sides to begin to study. it was a really interesting piece....kind of shakespearean actually which is funny cuz i just finished telling this guy at my job that i REFUSED to do shakespeare...just not my bag. this was decent though...poetic.
i asked for some background information on the short film so the director gave me some detail. it's an interesting film about people of color trying to make it in hollywood...smart. very intelligent. afterwards he asked me to talk about myself...so i mentioned this was my first audition and then he asked how long i had been in la...(warning tish!!! this is where you lie so you don't look like a complete loser!) i say the honest, "i've been here since august 1st." and he immediately asks "and you're just now getting an audition?" like i'm some sort of freak...not good tish. i really have to work on my interviewing skills.
he seemed really cool though and after his breakdown i totally took a different spin on my reading so hopefully i stood out a little :) i wasn't nervous at all beforehand....actually i was upset that i wasn't...i've started to become jaded to acting since i've been out of the game for so long...i'd pimp myself for any role right about now but this audition totally brought me back to my basic love...how i had missed her. little bits of acting life here and there refresh me like you wouldn't believe...the stars are back in my eyes. :)

ENRD Newsletter September 2017
A major innovation event – the Agri Innovation Summit –will take place in Lisbon, Portugal on 11-12 October 2017, bringing together a wide range of stakeholders to discuss how rural areas can best take advantage of current and emerging innovation opportunities.
Rural businesses, both farm and non-farm, can benefit from innovation and digitisation opportunities supported under the Rural Development Programmes (RDPs) and Horizon 2020. Creating linkages and complementarities between multi-actor innovation initiatives can further increase that potential for rural economies. Participants will discuss and provide input on how EU innovation policy tools can better support rural areas now and after 2020.
The event is designed to build on Point 7 on 'Boosting Knowledge and Innovation' of the Cork 2.0 Declaration. It is a joint initiative of a Portuguese Consortium, the Portuguese government, ENRD and EIP-AGRI networks.
The Contact Point (CP) welcomes two new colleagues, Flavio Conti, who has joined the knowledge development group as a Policy Analyst, and Derek McGlynn, who has joined the knowledge sharing group as Publications Manager. As part of a planned process, Mike Gregory has taken over as Team Leader from Paul Soto – we wish Mike every success and patience.
We warmly thank Paul for his work as Team Leader over the past three years and wish him inspiration in his new role as Senior Policy Expert. Paul will now concentrate more on the strategic direction of the CP with a particular focus on the topic of 'Smart Villages'.
We bid a warm farewell to Ed Thorpe (Communications Manager) and Doris Marquardt (Policy Analyst) and wish them great success with their new professional horizons.
The EAFRD Projects Brochure on 'Transition to Greener Rural Economies' is now available in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Polish on the ENRD website.
This edition explores RDP-supported approaches to taking advantage of economic opportunities that are environmentally and socially sustainable. It is part of the broader ENRD thematic work on 'Transition to the Green Economy', which also features a dedicated edition of the EU Rural Review (issue 23).
For electronic and paper subscriptions to the ENRD publications, please write to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Following the summer months, the Contact Point is getting ready to relaunch practitioner-led activities on the topics of Transnational Cooperation (TNC) and LEADER Innovation. Look out for the 'save the date' for dedicated workshops.
The latest event on improving LEADER implementation explored the barriers faced by LAGS and ways of overcoming them through specific actions – see the workshop highlights.
For further information, explore the LEADER/CLLD section of the ENRD website where you will find a range of useful resources on LEADER/CLLD, including:
LAG database, now containing the contact details of over 1 800 Local Action Groups (LAGs);
Partner Search section, including plenty of new cooperation offers;
LEADER Cooperation web page featuring an updated guidance and new LEADER/CLLD Cooperation factsheets and 'landscape'.
Momentum is building up for the next meeting of the European Rural Parliament (18-21 October – Venhorst, the Netherlands) with organisers conducting extensive surveys and consultations with rural stakeholders to help identify how citizens can participate in shaping policy.
Consultations are focused on six priority thematic areas: youth; social inclusion; poverty; rural services and infrastructure; local and sub-regional economies; and integrated rural development and LEADER/CLLD. The outcomes of these consultations will be discussed with over 300 delegates at the event and further disseminated across Europe.
A new database of good practice examples of social innovation in agriculture, forestry and rural development in marginalised rural areas has been made available by the Horizon 2020 project SIMRA.
The database features examples from across Europe, demonstrating the diversity of social innovations and some of their key characteristics. Interested individuals are invited to share their good practice examples with the project team.
A series of videos showcasing best practice examples in rolling out high-speed broadband projects across Europe's rural areas has been produced by the Broadband Competence Offices Support Facility (BCO-SF).
The videos present approaches and solutions tailored to the specific contexts of rural areas in a number of countries, including Austria, Denmark, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the UK.
A new EU project – rural SMEs – will work to boost innovative rural entrepreneurship in new niches of business opportunity, including in areas such as energy, environment, eco-industries, ICT and social innovation.
The project aims to improve regional support systems for entrepreneurs through identification and exchange of good practice in business development, addressing issues such as access to finance; communication and logistics; access to knowledge and; innovation service support. The project is funded under Interreg Europe and will run between 2017 and 2021.
A transnational network of rural touristic 'routes' will promote hiking in European regions that have traditionally focused on mass tourism or, on the other hand, have benefited less from more traditional forms of international tourism.
Run by the Hiking Europe project, the initiative aims to internationally position local assets in Croatia, Ireland, Italy and Spain, and boost regional economic development through a joint promotional and commercial strategy.
Aiming to boost short food supply chains in Europe, a newly launched Horizon 2020 project – SKIN – will work to create a knowledge and innovation network and foster demand-driven, bottom-up innovation.
The project will bring together food producers and consumers into a permanent association of stakeholders, working to improve the efficiency and economic impact of short supply chains.
See the EIP-AGRI website for further information on this and other Horizon 2020 thematic networks.
A branding campaign and a dedicated website to promote Natura 2000 products with the aim of showcasing their socio-economic benefits and triggering new partnerships between site managers, farmers and local businesses has been launched.
The campaign is run by Eurosite, the network of Europe's natural site managers, in order to raise awareness of the benefits Natura 2000 can provide to local economies.

HOUSTON (KTRK) --Whether you want to quit a bad habit, start a healthy one or make good on New Year's resolutions around this time of year, you may think that adding a handful of superfoods will make all the difference. But watch out. Consumer Reports reveal some superfoods are not so super at all.
Take apple cider vinegar, which if you drink regularly will lower cholesterol. It is supposed to help with weight loss and fight heartburn, right? Wrong! These claims are overblown. And in some cases, overdoing it on apple cider vinegar has been shown to damage the esophagus.
Other foods that may be over-hyped? Bone broth, otherwise known as stock, has been touted as a way to fight inflammation and make skin look younger.
Or the new "it" fat, coconut oil, claims to prevent Alzheimer's.
And turmeric, that vibrant yellow spice, claims to be powerful enough to destroy tumors.
Not so fast. More proof is needed. Anytime something is promoted as a miracle cure, watch out. Some of these foods do have health benefits, but eating a lot of them all the time isn't going to give you superpowers.
Consumer Reports says there's a better way to a healthier diet in the New Year: Eat whole grains, lots of fruits and vegetables, and lean proteins.
And in case you were wondering, no need to give up on trendy kale. Instead, add in brussels sprouts, broccoli and cabbage. Those veggies are also jam packed with nutrients.
Some claims do hold up. Ginger has been found to be an effective remedy for nausea. And for a headache, try drinking a tall glass of water before you reach for a pill.
Complete ratings and recommendations on all kinds of products, including appliances, cars and trucks, and electronic gear, are available on the Consumer Reports website. Subscribe to CR.org.

Remote Sensing of Wetland Types: Temperate Bogs, Mires, and Fens
In temperate regions, many bogs, mires, and fens have been subject to anthropogenic disturbance and hence are relatively small in extent and often fragmented. Two examples provided are the active raised upland and lowland bogs of Cors Caron and Cors Fochno in Wales, where the complexity of wetland vegetation and the surrounding landscape necessitates the use of Very High Resolution (VHR) sensor data, such as that provided by the Worldview Sensor. A range of spectral indices can be derived that indicate relative amounts of vegetation with different productivities, dead material, and water, which can also be used to infer vegetation distributions. An approach to classifying temperate wetlands has involved the use of a rule-based classification based that uses these indices as well as other spectral information and the Food and Agricultural Organization's (FAO) Land Cover Classification System (LCCS).

You may have noticed I've been somewhat M.I.A over the past couple of weeks. That being due to a very important Uni presentation I had on Wednesday morning at my local art gallery, in front of the curator and my lectures. Nerve racking isn't the word. Thankfully everything went to plan and now I have an uncomfortable wait for the feedback. As you can imagine I haven't been up to much just preparing for my presentation. But I do have a couple of snaps to share with you from the past couple of weeks.
1. The Moon: A photograph I took one evening whilst sitting in the garden. The crescent moon shape always reminds me of the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland. I always expect to see a pair of mischievous eyes and a stripy tail appear.
2. Studio: As you can imagine with Uni deadlines looming I have been spending a lot of time in my studio. Which many of you most likely don't know I have. At the end of last summer my Dad and I built a studio for me at the bottom of our garden. There are still a few things that need finishing off before I do a studio tour, the plan is to get it finished during the summer. I feel incredibly lucky to have a space completely dedicated to my artwork and it also made me realise that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. I feel as if I'm that one step closer to reaching my goal.
3. Plants: Mostly likely the result of too many sunny weekends spent helping my Dad in the garden coupled with too many evenings spent scrolling through Pinterest, which has gotten me doodling all things gardening non-stop. In particular succulents and watering cans. (Wait a cotton picking minute, what about succulents... in watering cans? Genius)
4. Dried Flowers: I did some seriously creative procrastination. Drying out flowers in the microwave. Which unfortunately turned out to be a bit of an epic fail I burned most of them and the kitchen didn't smell too great afterwards. I suppose that's what I get why I try to be all Pinteresty.
What have you been up to lately?

Alice - posted on 04/23/2015 ( 13 moms have responded )
Ever since she was five, my daughter always saw herself as overweight. I have no idea why, because she looks average to me. Even the doctor says that her BMI is perfectly fine, but she doesn't listen to anyone. She is now 13, 161cm and weights 57-58 kg. She also tried a bunch of diets, but says that she gains everything back. Some days she tries not to eat at all, and falls into panic when she gains a single gram. I really want to help, but i dont know how. Should i listen to her, or to the doctor? Is there a good diet for her age? Any diet plans? Please help!

It's sad for me to think about not having David around most of my life. It's sad that I (or anyone else) got to see the man he should have become. It's sad that he didn't get to see how Dan and I turned out. But it's more sad for me, to know that my children will never meet him on Earth. They will never get to kick a soccer ball with him, or throw a baseball with him, or play chase.
They will know him. They will know that he loved kids, soccer, and baseball. They will know that he was an amazing artist, and that at least Syd is (so far) following in his footsteps with that (along with her daddy's and Bampa's). They will know how much he would have loved spending time with them. They will know as much as I can tell them. But I need help. I've blocked out so much from my childhood that I need help remembering.
Tomorrow would have been David's 32nd birthday. Happy Birthday David. I love and miss you more than I can express.

The Future of Us by Jay Asher & Carolyn Mackler
6 comments:
I agree with what you've said in this review. I like Emma at times, but then I didn't like her. It was def awesome seeing her grow as a person though! I also love how Emma and Joshs friendship develops throughout the novel, and the 90's references were an added bonus!ReplyDelete
Awesome review. :D
I so agree with what you said about the characters, especially Emma. There were times when she did things I didn't like, but it made for such a flawed, REAL character and I loved watching her grow as much as Josh <3ReplyDelete
My feelings pretty much mirror everything you said. Fantastic review, Erin! :)
Really excited for this one! I wasn't even going to read it before, but now after your review and some other positive ones I've seen, I think I have to now. The character interaction and general story seem awesome! Fab review, thanks :).ReplyDelete
Renu: The 90 refs were awesome! :)ReplyDelete
Brodie: Good to see I'm not the only one who love/didn't like Emma at times. Thanks.
Liz: Definitely read it! It's a Jay Asher book . . . you have to love it!
Like you, I fell in love with Thirteen Reasons Why and I've been looking forward to reading Jay Asher's next book. Glad to hear you enjoyed it!ReplyDelete
I all kinds of want to read this and your awesome review just made that worse! I am going to have to go pick this up soon. I love this cover so much more than the US one:)ReplyDelete

3 lbs. large, firm, ripe tomatoes, halved
1 large red bell pepper
1 red onion, peeled and quartered
¼ c. olive oil
Smoked salt (if not available, add a few drops of liquid smoke)
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp. minced garlic
¼ lb. carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
¼ lb. celery, roughly chopped
2 c. veggie stock (or chicken broth)
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (or more, depending on spice preference)
½ c. heavy cream
2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh basil leaves
fresh grated Parmesan, to taste
Preheat grill to medium-high.
In a large bowl, toss tomatoes, red bell pepper and onions with 3 tablespoons of the oil to lightly coat. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Place the tomatoes, cut sides down, and the onions and bell pepper on the grill and cook, turning, until charred and soft (about 4 minutes for the tomatoes and 6 to 10 minutes for the onions and pepper). Remove and place the pepper in a plastic or paper bag, and cool for 10 minutes. Once cool, peel and seed pepper. Let the tomatoes and onions sit until cool enough to handle.
In a large pot, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until soft and fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add the carrots, celery and veggie stock. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until carrots are tender. Add all of the grilled veggies and the chipotle, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and purée in small batches in the blender.
Just before serving, add the cream and cook until heated through.
Garnish with fresh Parmesan and basil.
As kids, one of our favorite things was a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup. As adults, it still is. We created this soup as a modern twist on an old classic. The spice of the chipotle pairs great with the creaminess of a grilled cheese, especially as we get into cool fall evenings. Bringing our customers back to one of their childhood favorites, this is one of our top sellers in the restaurant.

NODE is a flexible, modular prefab dwelling system with the smallest possible footprint.
Co-founded in 2016 by Matt Wittman, NODE was conceived as a prefab tech company that integrates architecture and landscape through a modular system that results in dwellings that sit lightly on the land: a flexible, configurable system designed for long-term sustainability. NODE solves the challenge of small spaces and relationships to surrounding via a prefabricated, hyperefficient system of modules, which have the ability to seamlessly expand and weave into their environment.
Wittman Estes designed for NODE an infinitely flexible modular system that sites lightly on the landscape.
Endless configurations are possible — NODES can be added together in expandable arrangements of Sleep NODEs, Living NODEs, and Pavilion NODES with connected walkways
Prefabricated NODEs can be delivered to remote sites with minimal disturbance to the native landscape.
Suburban NODEs can be inserted into backyards as Accesory Dwelling Units (ADUs) - minimizing construction time and adding density in existing city neighborhoods.
Urban Nodes can be dropped onto rooftops in dense urban areas, expanding the livable space in downtown zones and high rise neighborhoods.
Project Team: Matt Wittman, Don Bunnell, Naomi Javanifard, FLOAT architectural research and design, Tristan Walker, Jen Sutherland

Home-schooling is a superb success. This is exactly why many public-school government bodies hate home-schooling parents.
Home-schoolers really are a direct challenge towards the public-school monopoly. This monopoly causes it to be nearly impossible to fireplace tenured public-school teachers or principals. Consequently, tenure gives most teachers existence-time guaranteed jobs. They have this incredible benefit only because public schools possess a lock on the children's education.
If public-school employees had to get results for private schools and compete for his or her jobs within the real life, they'd lose their security-blanket tenure. This is exactly why school government bodies view home-schooling parents who challenge their monopoly like a serious threat.
Many school officials also dislike the truth that average parents who never visited college give their children a much better education than so-known as public-school experts. Effective home-schooling parents therefore humiliate the unsuccessful public schools in comparison.
Home-schooling parents also humiliate school government bodies who declare that only certified or licensed teachers are capable of educate children. Most home-schooling parents thankfully never walked feet in the so-known as teacher college or college department of your practice. Yet these parents give their kids an excellent education when compared with public-school educated kids.
Also, many public-school officials resent home-schoolers since the typical public school loses about $7500 annually in tax money for every child that leaves the machine. Tax cash is the existence bloodstream from the public-school system. Tax money will pay for public-school employees' generous salaries, benefits, and pensions. Could it be any question why school government bodies don't wish to lose their gravy train?
Therefore, until fairly lately, most condition legislatures either outlawed homeschooling or attempted to strangle it to dying with rules. In 1980, only Utah, Ohio, and Nevada formally recognized parents' legal rights to homeschool their kids. In many other states, legislators constantly harassed or prosecuted home-schoolers under criminal truancy laws and regulations and academic neglect charges.

This sturdy little 1949 Plymouth Special Deluxe two door sedan was in a private collection. It is reliable and practical. With obvious patina, it's an affordable, fun way to get started in the greatest hobby. There just aren't many solid, running and driving old cars left in this price range.
Finished in green, this sedan has an old fashioned '40s look and just the right amount of patina to make it care-free. It hasn't been restored, obviously, but the finish is clinging to the bodywork well enough that if you like the patina you can safely leave it alone. It retains all its original chrome and trim, most of which is stainless steel so it can be buffed and polished to a high shine without an expensive trip to the chrome shop. The parts that are chrome, including the bumpers and hood ornament, show some light pitting but are in good enough shape to just leave them alone. It's not a show car, but the way it looks is appealing just the same and you'll never have to fret about bugs, rain, or dirt while having fun behind the wheel.
The interior is in good condition, and it appears that it is completely original. Traditional patterns were used but nothing is over-done. The Plymouth has a surprising amount of room inside and the no-nonsense vibe is appealing today. Original carpets are showing their age. Note, that all the original garnish moldings and door hardware has been retained and while there's some flaking, it looks honest. The dash is full of dials with individual round housings for the various instruments, and this car carries accessories like an AM radio and under-dash heater/defroster, which were a big deal in the mid-40s. The trunk is lined in a piece of cast-off carpet and carries a full-sized spare, just in case.
Plymouth's 3.6-liter 97 horse inline-six is a big overachiever, delivering peppy performance around town thanks to a set of steep gears in back (back then there were no interstate highways and cars rarely saw more than 50 MPH). The engine bay is tidy and authentic, showing original parts like the oil bath air cleaner and 6-volt generator. The engine runs beautifully and It fires up easily and idles with a nice six-cylinder grumble from the single exhaust. It has been regularly serviced and maintained, and the 3-speed manual transmission shifts cleanly. These are nice cars to drive! Finally, it's finished with fresh Goodyear radials on the original wheels, so get ready to hit the road.
If your interests run to early MOPARs, this Plymouth makes a fantastic starter car for your collection. Parts are still easy to find, it's easy to drive and there are enthusiasts everywhere.

Dear readers,
As Dayne has mentioned in her latest post, she has passed along her blog to me and will be writing guest posts when she has time. I came across AllergyComfortZone when looking for information about contact dermatitis, as I live with numerous environmental allergies to dust, mold, dust and pets and often react to chemicals, moisturizing creams, hair products and soaps as well as life threatening food allergies and asthma. I feel honored to continue what Dayne has created, a community of readers just like you, looking to discuss useful information about allergies, find allergy comfort solutions, products and share experiences.
I am 24, and live in British Columbia, Canada. Originally from Montreal, I have traveled a fair bit and dealt with many situations that one cannot always anticipate. I am extremely excited to get to know you; to find out what questions you have about products, lifestyle changes and allergies, or any other questions you may have! I do have other blogs on food allergies and asthma, thus my posts here will mostly discuss contact dermatitis and eczema. As I am still in the midst of figuring out the "behind the scenes" stuff, I will keep this first post short.
I invite you to send me a message, (the email has stayed the same) or perhaps share a comment right here, with topics you are interested in.
I am thrilled to be joining this community!

Lets switch gears a little bit. So yesterday I went to go hang out with a friend and we saw Afghan Star, a film about the first talent based American Idol-esque show to air Afghanistan after the rule of the Taliban. This is a huge deal because apparently music (!!!) had been banned, MUSIC!! and people could call in and vote, HELLO DEMOCRACY! Anyway, there were two woman contestants. When the first one, Setara, was kicked off she had to sing a farewell song.
And so she starts, sort of swaying side to side from foot to foot to the beat and sings, and throws her head scarf off and continues to dance with all this emotion. Behind the scenes an entire country is shaking its head. Though music has been grudgingly approved dancing is out of the question. She is considered a floozy, loose and a huge threat to morals of the country, such a huge threat that there are death threats. All this for dancing! And not even sexy dancing! It's insane that such small actions are so revolutionary, but I guess they're not that small in such situations.
So I don't know. I was super humbled when I walked out of there and relieved that I have the potential to become this full human being in the open. Just looking down at what I was wearing, thinking of what I write and read and talk openly about with those around me, dang WE ARE SO LUCKY! hahhhh am glad I have the freedom to show you my badly photoshopped art :)

Pre-owned assets: exemptions: examples where relevant property remains part of the Inheritance Tax estate
In 2005, Brian transfers his house to an interest in possession trust with a life interest for himself and then for his wife, Julie, with remainders to his children. Brian continues to occupy the house. The disposal condition (IHTM44004) is met and none of the exclusions (IHTM44030) apply.
The property continues to form part of Brian's estate under IHTA84/S5(1) and so is exempt from the POA charge under FA04/Sch15/Para11(1) whilst his interest in possession exists.
Note that exemption still applies even though on Brian's death, the property is exempt from Inheritance Tax as the life interest passes to Julie. However, should the trustees bring Brian's life interest to an end during his lifetime, the charge under FA04/Sch15/Para3(2) will apply unless Brian ceases to occupy the property, another exemption applies or he becomes absolutely entitled to the property.
If the trustees brought Brian's life interest to an end after 22 March 2006, he will be treated as making a PET under IHTA84/S52(1); but - assuming he continues to occupy the property - he will also be treated as reserving a benefit (IHTM14391) in the property in which his life interest ceased by virtue of FA86/S102ZA(2). Because Brian is treated as reserving a benefit in the property, he continues to be exempt from the POA charge, but under a different exemption (IHTM44044).
If, in the example above, Brian had made the transfer in 2009, the position would have been quite different, as outlined below.
The transfer into the trust is an immediately chargeable transfer (IHTM04067) and tax would be payable at 20% if the value transferred exceeded the nil-rate band. The trust will also be subject to the normal relevant property trust charges (IHTM42070). Brian's interest in possession is not part of his estate, so the exemption under FA04/Sch15/Para11(1) (IHTM44041) does not apply. The POA charge will therefore apply, unless Brian reserves a benefit in the property when a different exemption will apply.
Brian has made a gift of land to the trust, so the provisions of FA86/S102A (IHTM14360) must be considered. If Brian has retained a significant right or interest that entitles him to occupy the land, he will be treated as reserving a benefit in the property, FA86/S102A(2). Although the property does not form part of Brian's estate for Inheritance Tax purposes, his interest under the trust does entitle him to occupy the property and so he will be exempt from the POA charge under FA04/Sch15/Para11(5) (IHTM44044).

U.S. Customs' to test prepay option for the commercial truck single-crossing user fee
Posted May 4, 2016
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intends to conduct a pilot test program to allow a new payment option for commercial truck single-crossing user fees. The CBP regulations specify the applicable user fee for commercial trucks upon arrival into the United States and the methods of payment, which include payment on an annual basis or on a per crossing basis.
Although commercial truck carriers can electronically prepay the user fees on an annual basis, carriers who opt for the single-crossing user fee must pay the fee upon arrival at a U.S. port of entry. The pilot will enable the owner, agent, or person in charge of a commercial truck to prepay the single-crossing user fee online prior to arrival at a port of entry.
The pilot will not affect the annual commercial truck user fee payment option.
The pilot will begin at the Buffalo, Detroit, and El Paso ports of entry starting on June 2, 2016. If it is determined that the pilot is working successfully at these initial ports, the pilot would be expanded to all U.S. land border ports of entry that process commercial trucks. The exact date of the expansion to all U.S. land border ports of entry would be announced on the CBP website.
The pilot will run for approximately one year. Comments concerning the pilot may be submitted at any time during the pilot period.
Written comments concerning any aspect of the pilot should be submitted to the Program Manager, Office of Field Operations, U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

What is MCS 012?
MCS 012 requires solar mounting systems to be tested and certified to various standards and requirements to ensure:
- Resistance to wind uplift
- Fire performance and safety
- Weathertightness
- Adequate installation instructions
The main difference of this issue (2.0) is the focus on fire performance.
You can download the MCS documents here.
Does it apply to me?
All MCS certified installation companies installing in line with the requirements of MIS 3001 and MIS 3002 which refer to MCS 012 must be using MCS 012 approved products (where applicable) from 2nd May 2016.
Additionally many of the requirements also apply in building regulations so even if you are not working to MCS requirements you should consider using MCS 012 approved products.
What products can I use?
The following two systems were certified last year when the last issue of the standard was due to come in, their certification remains valid.
Schletter on-roof mounting system
As you are hopefully aware we offer the Schletter mounting system which has options for almost any roof type and configuration. With MCS 012 certification this will remain your perfect partner throughout 2016.
