DUBAI (REUTERS) - Just two shots separated Britons Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood after both players posted near-perfect third-round 65s on Saturday (Nov 18) to set up a final-day shootout in the Race to Dubai.
Rose continues to enjoy the edge, leading the DP World Tour Championship on 15 under par by one shot from South Africa's Dylan Frittelli and Spain's Jon Rahm.
Fleetwood is just behind on 13 under with another South African Dean Burmester.
A win by either Rose, second in the points standings before this tournament, or leader Fleetwood would guarantee either the Race to Dubai title and the US$1.25 million (S$1.7 million) bonus.
Rose would also win by finishing second, assuming he is ahead of Fleetwood, and could still claim the end-of-season accolade by finishing as low as fifth if he finishes higher than his compatriot.
Rose's only other order of merit triumph was in 2007 but he has posted wins in his past two tournaments.
Another superb round on Saturday included a chipped birdie at the par-three 13th and a 45-foot birdie at the 16th.
Rose saved par on the last despite taking a penalty drop, pitching to seven feet and rolling in a testing right-to-left putt for par which kept him one clear of Frittelli, who had birdied four of the last five holes in a flawless 63.
"There's a hunger and motivation there," Rose said. "It's about playing good golf tomorrow. With a one-shot lead, there's no strategy. It's about playing well tomorrow."
Rose withstood a stiff test of his nerve by Fleetwood who, after a poor first day, has fought back with successive 65s, including eight birdies in his last 11 holes on Saturday.
Others took advantage of helpful conditions and 15 players are within five shots of the lead, including Sergio Garcia, who is 10 under par and could still win the Race to Dubai if he wins the tournament and his rivals falter.
Overnight leader and defending champion Matthew Fitzpatrick shot a level-par 72 to drop back in the field.

Well even though the holiday season is about half way over, I was considering how to make it through without gaining too much weight. Well, gaining no weight, preferably!
Yes, easier said than done. But realistically what would it take to get through not just a day but through a holiday season?
- Plan. Without prior consideration and planning, you will eat whatever you like, whenever you like, and however much you like. So even though this period is a time for enjoyment, to keep the scales at bay without control or the consideration for what is likely to happen, you are doomed to fail.
So plan, prepare and organise yourself, so you don't get caught out.
- Strategies. Have strategies in place to combat the constant temptation. Remember you won't always be at the mercy of your own decisions, you will also be at the mercy of other peoples if you go visiting. So have strategies ready for what types of food you are going to avoid, how much food you are going to consume and so forth. Don't forget it's the holidays, this doesn't have to be a spartan existence! Eat, be merry, just don't over do it.
- Relationships. Remember that this time of year is meant to be enjoyed. Yes go visit, yes enjoy yourself, live life. Focus on socialising and having fun with people, not eating and drinking.
- Control. This whole period will be a success or failure dependent on the amount of control you exert. If you eat and drink to excess, you won't achieve your goal of: not gaining weight. But if you control yourself, stay focused and consciously choose what, when and how much, you will succeed.
- Slow Down / Chew. Slow down when eating. The reason most people overeat is because they eat too quickly. So, slow down don't eat so quickly. Another reason why people eat so quickly is that they don't chew their food enough. When you chew your food, chew it until it becomes a fine paste. Not 2 chews, done, swallow. Eating like that will only result in poor digestion.
- Water. Yes drink more water! Another major reason for overeating is that we eat when we are dehydrated. So when you start to feel hungry drink a glass of water. Wait 20 minutes and see how you feel. Also limit your alcohol consumption. Drink water instead. If you're like me and don't drink alcohol, and prefer soda, that's ok, but limit it to 1 or 2.
- Alcohol. It's important to drink liquids, but realise alcohol dehydrates you. It also lowers your ability to make good decisions. And finally according to research, many people have a tendency to binge when drinking. So back to point 4 "Control", stay in control.
- Exercise. Now don't forget to exercise. No I don't mean hit the gym for 3 hours doing high intensity sprints with weight lifting, straight after lunch. No! What I mean is, make sure to fit in that exercise session, yes it might have to be a lighter easier session because you're between eating, but just don't forget to do it. Maybe you'll need to schedule it early in the day, or maybe later on in the evening. Whatever works for your particular situation.
- Self-Talk. Remember to be conscious of your self-talk, the way you speak to yourself. Be patient and be supportive. Don't be negative and dismissive of yourself, the situation you are in and the efforts you have done. Stick to your plan, and your strategies. Talk yourself through each day and each moment. There will be temptation, and you will be tested.
- Enjoy Yourself. This is the season of celebration. Remember that this time is to enjoy yourself, to have gratitude for all that you have. Treat yourself and others with the respect you deserve.
You owe it to yourself, to be healthy, to be fit, to live life.
Thanks for reading,
"Live Life!"

The freehold homeowners in Dubai will now have to seek prior approval of the Dubai Land Department before renting out their premises from next year, a government official announced.
As per the new regulation issued by the Land Department, homeowners who wish to lease out a property will first have to apply seeking permission from the Land Department.
Thereafter, they will have to get themselves officially registered in any rental contract which they draw up with a tenant. While doing so, the restrictions imposed by the Land Department pertaining to matters such as the term of lease, or the number of tenants per unit etc., should be taken into consideration.
The Land Department has stated that the said scheme will be applicable only to a landlord renting an entire unit, and is not intended to address the subletting of rooms within a unit which is already occupied by the landlord.
The recently formed RERA has stated that the Land Department is in the process of finalizing a three or five year tenancy contract to help tenants in dealing with the rising rentals. The agreement will be a model agreement that will protect the rights of the tenants. The RERA Chief Executive, Marwan Bin Galita, has mentioned that the main role of the organization is to authenticate rental agreements and act as an advisor on issues relating to rent cap.
The Director of development and marketing administration at the Land Department, Mohammad Sultan Thani, revealed "The idea is in its initial stage, and is not our priority at the moment. But we would like to bring in more regulation and transparency in the rental market to win the confidence of tenants."

Cool Videos: Prankster uses dinos to scare Jurassic World's Chris Pratt
Polish prankster SA Wardega (the same guy who dressed his dog up like a giant mutant spider) was at it again, and this time his victim was none other than JURASSIC WORLD star Chris Pratt. Wardega set up two dinosaurs to scare Pratt as he walked into a room, and although the actor was definitely startled by the appearance of a couple of random dinos, he was a very good sport about the prank. Pratt had a laugh after it was revealed it was practical joke, but it did look like he was ready to punch the fake prehistoric beasts in the face.
Be careful if you're watching this video at work though, because Pratt does drop several f-bombs in response to the prank.
"Pierdol sie!"

Life as a Barnard Writing Fellow: Razia Sultana
As a Neuroscience and Behavior major on the Pre-Med track, I have often times been asked the following question: why did you become a writing fellow? My answer to that question is: well, why not?
I mean, critically thinking, empowering students, and fighting the patriarchy, are only a few of the many reasons of why someone should become a Writing Fellow, but for those of you who want a more substantial reason, it's because you matter.
That's right. I became a Writing Fellow because of all of you.
As a student at this premier liberal arts college, I am always fascinated by my fellow Barnard students who I come into contact with every day. Every student here has a unique story, an interesting perspective, and a different way of thinking. And so, I became a Writing Fellow because I wanted to learn more about Barnard students, from the Barnard students themselves.
As a Writing Fellow, my duties include having appointment hours in the famous Cube (Writing Center) as well as being attached to a course and having conferences with the students. However, while these may be my tasks on paper, in actuality, my job as a Writing Fellow is so much more.
As a Writing Fellow, I am there first and foremost to actively listen. I am there to listen to ideas, concerns, and feelings as they relate to the written word. From hearing about the role of the monster in Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, to reading a student's personal statement for Harvard Business School, I have learned so much from my fellow peers and have become more knowledgeable because of them. By listening, I see and hear the transformation within students, welcoming their silence to bloom creativity and confidence within themselves.
As a Writing Fellow, I am there to critically engage and empower student voices. I am there to question and act as a sounding board, to point out patterns and help students realize that the "So What" of their paper is there. I am there to not only push students, but also to lift their voices up, so they can critically engage with texts. I am there to help them find ways to express their ideas and to understand the multiple perspectives all around us.
And finally, as a Writing Fellow, I am there to break tradition and show students that science students can like writing too. I am there to surprise you at the end of a conference and tell you that while I am truly a scientist at mind, at heart, I am a writer. I often find that academic tradition expects students to pick a side, and becoming a Writing Fellow was my way of rebelling and rendering myself side-less. I love science, I love writing, but most of all, I like the diversity I see in both disciplines. As a Writing Fellow, the diversity I see in the Cube and in my attached classes is educating and exciting. Every person is a writer, whether they like to admit or not. And really, I am there at the crossroads of two academic traditions to let people see, hear, and understand this message in whatever way they like.
At the end of the day, life as a Barnard Writing Fellow is so great because of all of you.
All of you bold and beautiful writers.
All of you who are exploring college and forming another part of your identity.
And really, for all of you who make up the institution we continue to accommodate and challenge every day.

Making Lesson Plans
A lesson plan is just a written plan a teacher makes for a specific lesson. Lesson plans have a fairly standard format so that teachers can exchange lessons and so that others can see where the lesson should fit within the curriculum. The labels below will help you get started: specific schools may have slightly different labels, though.
Grade Level. When you design a lesson plan, it's important to think about the age of the students, what they're capable of doing, and what will interest them.
Duration. A lesson plan should give some indication of how long the lesson will take.
Topic/Title. The topic or title summarizes the activity or what you want to teach. You should plan the topic carefully by considering the place of the lesson in the curriculum. Examples of titles might be, "A Nature Walk" or "Making Animal Puppets."
Objectives. Objectives are specific outcomes you expect to see students develop. One objective might be for students to be able to demonstrate how to express 'my' and 'your' with body parts in the target language. You can have more than one objective in a lesson plan, but they should be measurable in some way.
Materials/Equipment. Be sure to indicate if the lesson requires any special materials (such as paper or a wall chart) or equipment (a DVD player).
Procedure/Activity. Describe the actual steps to be taken and give some idea of what the teacher should say. For example, "A. The teacher will pass an animal bingo sheet out to each student and explain how to play using the target language."
Practice/Homework. When we teach endangered languages, it seems the lessons are squeezed into just one or two lessons per week. Students can't remember what they're taught unless they have some form of homework. Homework also allows the family to learn what the child is learning.
Assessment. Assessment allows you and others to measure the degree to which students have met the objectives. Assessment might consist of grading the homework, giving a test, keeping track of responses to questions in class, or judging how well the student performs in a trivia contest or skit.
Developing lesson plans can seem quite foreign and untraditional, but many teachers and principals expect teachers to have them. Having a good set of lesson plans is often required before permission is given to teach minority languages in schools. Once you get the hang of it, though, you might enjoy being able to trade activities with other teachers or to search on the internet for "Spanish lesson plans." I did that and was happy to find this site!

text: Mr Ian Battersby: Weekly Update 10/03/17 10 March 2017 Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I don't think I can say thank you enough times to all the parents and friends of the school who contributed to making the TX Fete such a wonderful event. It was so heart-warming to see so many members of our school community working and having fun together last Saturday. The generosity of our parents in not only giving so much of their precious time, but also in helping secure so many prizes for our raffle was truly overwhelming. The children really enjoyed all aspects of the day and it was great to see our friends from Poussieres de Vie performing and delighting in the activities that were on offer. For a fuller account of the day, please see Ms Mary's post, Ms Alicia's post reflecting largely on PdV's time at the fete and Parents' Corner: Tu Xuong Fete Poussières de Vie at the TX fete Parents' Corner – 10/3/17 Announcement - New BIS HCMC Early Years and Infant Campus Many of you may already be aware of an exciting new phase of development for our school. A purpose-designed Infant Campus is currently under construction in District 2. This new facility will cater for children from Fundinotots through to Year 2. On completion, our An Phu and Tu Xuong Primary campuses will amalgamate, which will afford an enhanced learning environment for all our Primary students and teachers and will boast many significant environmentally friendly features and creative learning spaces. This will also mean that all three of our BIS HCMC campuses will be conveniently based in District 2. The new building is planned to open in January 2018. We will continue to keep you updated with all related progress. Whatever the Weather Without doubt, one of the highlights of the school year, the Spring Concert never fails to impress and inspire. With this year's theme, 'Whatever the Weather', it was fabulous to see so many students on the stage performing together. To see some spectacular photographs and to read more about the concert, please follow the link below: Whatever the Weather – Spring Concert Year 4 Trip to Long Hai Two weeks ago, there was a post about the first part of the BIS residential trip programme which begins in Year 3 (Year 3 Sleepover). Each subsequent residential trip builds on the children's previous experiences and challenges them to become more independent, to develop their teamwork skills and to try new experiences that take them beyond their comfort zone. When I joined the Year 4 children on their residential trip to Long Hai this week, all of this was evident. Although the children had slept over in the school hall, for some it was the first time they had stayed in a different location from their parents. Others were sharing a room and being responsible for keeping it tidy; a major challenge. The different activities required creativity and teamwork; one of the keys to successful learning. For Mr Mike's post about Long Hai, please click on the following link: Year 4 Long Hai Trip F1 Investigate Houses and Homes Our Year 4 children had a wonderful time in Long Hai, it was a terrific adventure for them all. When you are in F1, adventure takes on a different meaning. Getting on a bus at school, driving through Saigon streets without your mummy, and spending time in Ms Grace's apartment; that is adventurous for a 2-year-old. And that is exactly what our F1 children did last week. They had a super time, and you can find out more about it by following this link: F1 investigate houses and homes Wizard of Oz An Phu Primary – Spring Fair If you enjoyed the TX Fete, I am sure you will also enjoy the An Phu Primary Spring Fair. The fair is on Sunday 26th March. It is a day to come together to celebrate our community and work with our community partners. There will be lots of activities for the children (bouncy castle, games, toys and lucky dip). For adults there will be an exciting range of raffle prizes as well as some high value items which will go into the auction. Entry tickets and raffle tickets will be on sale from Monday 20th March.

The Unveiling
When Satan was called Lucifer, he was the covering cherub over the throne, of the whole universe, of Almighty God. A Cherub is a type of angel with both human-like and animal-like characteristics. Cherubim were closely associated with Almighty God. At times He is pictured as dwelling between them, or riding on them. (Isaiah 37:16; 2 Samuel 6:2). Some have human faces, and others have animal faces. Models of cherubim have been illustrated "perching" on the mercy seat (Exodus 25:18-22; 26:31).
I never take any of my visions for granted, or try to interpret them myself. Also, God's Word has warned us about going to other men, and asking them for the meaning, or the explanation of visions. Interpretation is only suppose to come from the Lord and His Holy Spirit.
My recent new revelation of knowledge would definitely explain and clarify the image of the "being" that I saw in the dark. Even though there was darkness throughout the earth, I could clearly tell that this "being" was indeed very strange and unusual looking. Because, even though I saw this "being" hopping from tree branch to branch, I was thinking in my mind how strange its movements were, considering the size of it. The "being" was moving about like a small animal, and it was expressing the extreme sadness of human emotions!
This vision of revelation that I received several years ago, I now know that my vision was the END result of Satan's deception, and how Satan was able to persuade an unrepenting world to accept his (instruction from that other tree) way of life!!!!!!
The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is a DYING tree. My vision was about a DEAD TREE! However, there's still time to choose between which tree we want to live our lives by. But, the choice is a crucial one to choose between. It would mean choosing between living life eternal, or perishing in a "pit" of darkness!

If I assume that your interpretation of the vision/dream is fairly accurate, it looks like your revelation was nothing more than the same message Christianity has been putting forth for nearly 2000 years.
My question to you, JS, is this: why do you imagine you're being shown things which nearly all Christians already take to be truth?

"For God hath not give us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7.
Whateverman: "There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all..." 1 Corinthians 12:4-7.ReplyDelete
Say hello to me when you're in the New Kingdom of Heaven. If you get to heaven before I do, tell Jesus I'm coming too! Love,JS.
With all due respect, JonahsSister, you didn't answer my question. It's your blog, of course, and you're under no obligation to do so.ReplyDelete
But... the scripture you quoted doesn't address what I asked. How are visions of things Christians already accept as truth - gifts? You've accepted the divinity of Jesus and the Bible, and I presume you accept the validity of their message. Why are dreams about these things a gift whereas having eyes reading them from the Bible *not* a gift?
Why do you consider visions of well-established doctrine to be special?
Whateverman: Did you read my personal testimony regarding my life as being almost identical, but not as dramatic as Jonah in the Book of Jonah? If this doesn't answer your question, all you need to do is ask our Heavenly Father anything that you need to know. He's watching us right now, and waiting on you!ReplyDelete
I believe that I answered your question. I don't try to teach people what to believe or understand. That is the work of the Holy Spirit. I'm only doing my best to be obedient to the Word of God. And do what I have been told to do. When we read with "spiritual eyes" we are able to fully comprehend spiritual things!
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6.
When we think we already know it all, we will not be open to spiritual understanding. We are able to receive wisdom, guidance, and direction from God when we are humble and have teachable spirits. And to have a teachable spirit, we cannot have a "know-it-all" attitude. As humans, our understanding of any situation is limited apart from Holy Spirit knowledge.
Your questions remind me of my life when I was a part of the world. After my life changed, even though I am still "in" this world, I am no longer "of" this world. When we walk with Jesus Christ in this life, and ask Him for things in prayer, He will do things in different ways (in our lives) from how we think they should be done. (Isaiah 55:8-9).
To understand the spiritual things of God we are told to "...not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." Romans 12:2.
Each person has different personal relationships with Jesus Christ, even though He is the same with everyone. And not everyone is on the same spiritual level in their walk with Jesus Christ, even though no one person is higher or lower than another person.

The Indian iron & steel sector seems to be in somewhat better shape now. Last few years were particularly challenging for everybody as demand seemed stagnated coupled with raw material crisis. Now, if you look at the quarterly reports of major steel companies, they have started increasing the production. Further, though most of them owe huge money to financial institutions, their position is comparatively better than the last year. Today atleast they can expect a gradual rise in the demand in coming months. The raw material crisis is also mostly resolved and the availability of iron ore, coal has improved substantially. Many experts prefer to describe such a situation 'new normal' instead of 'recession'. No, its not only word play. What it means is that now one has to get used to such industry environment where making profits may not be as easy as it was before. One has to be really innovative and articulate to do so. This situation is not a temporary passing phase but a long term reality.
The world around us is changing very fast. Our industry too is feeling the heat and will be undergoing a tremendous transformation in coming years. This transformation is multi dimensional. The technologies like 3D printing are going to re – define the auto industry while technologies like robotics, cloud computing, virtual reality, augmented reality are going to completely change the way businesses are being done. I am very sure that many giants of today will face a tough time tomorrow and few of them will even perform a vanishing trick. New business models will emerge. We know today that the biggest taxi company in the world does not own a single vehicle. It was mobile companies which saw the downfall of music and camera companies. In today's times, one should expect the most unexpected to happen.
Most of the Indian steel majors are under tremendous finance pressure and few of them are looking for buyers, invertors etc. Many companies want to expand the capacity and tap the additional demand expected to be generated but lack the support of financial institutions. Already, there is a talk of mergers and acquisitions. Looking at all this, I definitely see a big change just round the corner!

Check Your Attitude At The Door
Contributed by Jeff Budzinski on Mar 15, 2007 (message contributor)
Summary: This week I want us to examine our attitude. Our attitude is a key factor to having success in our life. As Christians, we must live with the expectation that God is going to do something good for me today. God wants to bless us; however we must have an
· Last week we discussed the Holy Spirit in you. The Holy Spirit comes upon us when we give ourselves to Jesus and become a Believer.
· We feed the Holy Spirit by spending time in the Word of God, prayer and in fellowship. He is our guide that leads us to complete the will of God in our life.
· This week I want us to examine our attitude. Our attitude is a key factor to having success in our life.
· As Christians, we must live with the expectation that God is going to do something good for me today.
· God wants to bless us; however we must have an attitude of gratitude.
· Maintaining a positive attitude positions us to receive the blessing of God in our life.
· Let us look to the scriptures to get more insight on our attitude.
A. The stronger our relationship with God will determine the quality and quantity of relationships we have on earth.
1. Jesus came so that we could have an abundant life.
(NKJV) John 10 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
a. God desires for us to have an abundance of strong relationships on this earth. These relationships are "connections" to others that will help you grow in your walk with God.
b. God has placed people in our lives for a reason. Our attitude will determine how that relationship grows.
2. The stronger our relationship with God, the more He will entrust to you as a Believer.
3. Your life is to be a witness to other people.
a. The joy of living an abundant life will begin to spill over into other people's lives. It is contagious!
b. Your life should impact others, just like God has impacted your life.
4. Look beyond your circumstances, and see yourself living life to the fullest.
B. A good attitude is a key to having a good life.
1. Attitude: a manner of thinking, feeling or acting that shows one's opinion.
a. Your attitude can be good or it can send very negative or strong messages to everyone around you.
b. People with bad attitudes are usually unhappy.
2. Your relationship with God will determine the type of life you live.
3. Satan wants to rob your joy. However, he can't rob your joy unless you give it to him.
4. Your attitude will be tested.
(AMP) 2 Corinthians 2 9For this was my purpose in writing you, to test your attitude and see if you would stand the test, whether you are obedient and altogether agreeable [to following my orders] in everything.
5. The bad attitude of the children of Israel prevented them from experiencing the good life.
(NKJV) Numbers 13 26 Now they departed and came back to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 27 Then they told him, and said: "We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. 28 Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there. 29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan." 30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, "Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it." 31 But the men who had gone up with him said, "We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we." 32 And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, "The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. 33 There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight."
6. We see that the spies felt the occupants of the land were bigger & stronger and they felt defeated. (God is bigger than anything you face today).
7. Caleb displayed a positive attitude; he was sure they could defeat the people of the land.
a. A poor attitude resulted in an 11-day journey becoming a 40-year trip.

Similar to eating vegetables and taking baths, kids are not always keen on brushing their teeth. In fact, they can meet this activity with utter resistance. However, a solid brushing routine is vital for helping your child combat tooth decay and develop the habit of maintaining oral hygiene. Brushing your child's teeth can either be the worst or best part of your day. Nevertheless, you can teach your child to brush his or her teeth using these simple tips.
- Make it a family habit
Children frequently want to act like grownups. Therefore, they tend to imitate their older siblings or parents. Rather than make your child perform this activity on his or her own, allow him or her to watch a parent or another family member perform this activity simultaneously. This not only makes the activity fun but also helps your child learn through imitation.
- Encourage your child
You should praise your child when he or she is brushing his or her teeth. It is important to encourage them in order to motivate them to brush their teeth regularly.
- Let your child select his or her toothbrush
Provided the toothbrush is age-appropriate, you should permit your child to pick out his or her toothbrush. This helps encourage your child develop a routine for brushing his or her teeth. Furthermore, it makes the activity enjoyable. This gives them a sense of responsibility and independence. It also makes it easy for them to identify their toothbrush. While a colorful toothbrush may not inspire you, this might make the difference in encouraging your child to brush his or her teeth.
- Mirror
It is advisable to put your child in front of a mirror while brushing his or her teeth. This injects humor into the activity besides making it easy for your child to see his or teeth when brushing. It is very important for your child to see where he or she needs to clean while at the same time learning to control the toothbrush in order to get varied movements.
- Select the correct toothpaste
Numerous toothpastes exist in the market for children. While some are great, others contain sugar. Therefore, you should exercise caution when selecting toothpaste. Numerous toothpastes comprise strong flavorings that you might not notice. However, these toothpastes could have a stinging effect on your child's mouth. Therefore, it is essential to use toothpaste that is specifically for kids. Mint-flavored toothpastes are ideal opposed to sweet ones.


text: Minnie and I were going to make Birthday TOGA blocks for our first project but we took off on some scraps that turned into Tissue Pack Covers. They are quick and easy but very professional looking with a lining that looks like binding on the outside. I even decided to see how the Singer Zigzagger attachment worked for finishing the two end seams. It wasn't worth the effort to put it on. I decided a pinked seam finish was adequate for the project.

- EB-2 India to Advance By Nearly Four Years, As Projected
- June 18, 2014
- Law Firm: Fragomen Del Rey Bernsen Loewy LLP - New York Office
According to the State Department's July Visa Bulletin, a surge in EB-2 India immigrant visa availability will occur next month, when the priority date cut-off for the subcategory will advance by nearly three years and nine months, to September 1, 2008. EB-2 China will move forward by five weeks, to July 1, 2009, but EB-3 China will remain at October 1, 2006 after this month's dramatic retrogression.
EB-3 Philippines will advance by one year, to January 1, 2009, while EB-3 India will move ahead by two weeks, to November 1, 2003. For all other countries, EB-3 will remain at April 1, 2011.
As we reported previously, the significant advancement for EB-2 India is made possible by unused immigrant visas in the EB-1 and EB-2 worldwide categories. EB-2 India is expected to continue to advance in the remaining months of the fiscal year. The State Department projects that the cut-off date could move to February 2009 in August and to an early summer 2009 date in September of this year.
Though EB-5 remains current in July, the State Department could impose a cut-off date for China in August or September of this year.
July 2014 Priority Date Cut-Offs
In July 2014, EB immigrant visa priority date cut-offs will be:
Current for all countries.
China: July 1, 2009
India: September 1, 2008
All other countries: Current
EB-3 Professionals and Skilled Workers
China: October 1, 2006

ALL WAITING IS LONG tells the stories of the Morgan sisters, a study in contrasts. In 1930, twenty-five-year-old Violet travels with her sixteen-year-old sister Lily from Scranton, Pennsylvania, to the Good Shepherd Infant Asylum in Philadelphia, so Lily can deliver her illegitimate child in secret. In doing so, Violet jeopardizes her engagement to her longtime sweetheart, Stanley Adamski. Meanwhile, Mother Mary Joseph, who runs the Good Shepherd, has no idea the asylum's physician, Dr. Peters, is involved in eugenics and experimenting on the girls with various sterilization techniques.
Five years later, Lily and Violet are back home in Scranton, one married, one about to be, each finding her own way in a place where a woman's worth is tied to her virtue. Against the backdrop of the sweeping eugenics movement and rogue coal mine strikes, the Morgan sisters must choose between duty and desire. Either way, they risk losing their marriages and each other.
The novel picks up sixteen years after the close of BARBARA J. TAYLOR'S debut novel, SING IN THE MORNING, CRY AT NIGHT—a Publishers Weekly Best Summer Book of 2014—and continues her Dickensian exploration of the Morgan sisters and other characters of Scranton in the early twentieth century.
Priced out of their Manhattan neighborhood, Jessica and Aaron move with their young daughters to the one place Jessica swore she'd never go: the suburbs. But to Jessica's surprise, life in the commuter belt makes a great first impression. She quickly falls in with a clique of helpful mom friends who welcome her with pitchers of margaritas, neighborhood secrets, and a pair of hot jeans that actually fit.
Still, it's hard to keep up in a crowd where everyone competes for the most perfectly manicured home and latest backyard gadgets. And what's worse, as the only working mom in her circle, Jessica sometimes feels disconnected and alone. So she's thrilled when she's invited to a moms-only weekend at the beach, which she assumes will mean new opportunities for real talk and bonding. Instead, the trip turns into a series of eye-opening lessons, and Jessica must decide if she's strong enough to be honest with herself about the sort of life she really wants.
TIMOTHY BRANDOFF, Forthcoming: August 6, 2019
Cornelius Sky is a doorman in a posh Fifth Avenue apartment building that houses New York City's elite, including a Former First Lady whose husband was assassinated while in office. It is an elegant, picaresque novel that beautifully captures a city on the edge of ruin, from its richest and most privileged heights, to its poorest and most depraved corners.
When a rainmaker is bludgeoned to death in the pitch blackness of a colossal dust storm, small-town sheriff Temple Jennings shoulders yet another burden in the hard times of the 1930s Dust Bowl. The killing only magnifies Jennings's ongoing troubles–a formidable opponent in the upcoming election, the repugnant burden of enforcing farm foreclosures, and his wife's lingering grief over the loss of their young son.
As the sheriff and his young deputy investigate the murder, their suspicions focus on a teenager serving with the Civilian Conservation Corps. The deputy, himself a former CCCer, struggles with remaining loyal to the corps while pursuing his own aspirations as a lawman.
Meanwhile, the sheriff's wife Etha is secretly bringing meals to the hobos camped outside of town. It has been fifteen years since her young son accidently drowned back east, and in the malleable adolescent faces of the young men around the campfire she imagines how her own Jack might have looked. As the evening wears on and Etha overstays her welcome, she is rescued by one of the teenagers, Carmine, who comes from the mean streets of Chicago.
When Temple arrests Carmine, the CCC suspect, he is housed in the county jail and Etha takes advantage of her position as prison cook to get to know him. While she sits outside his cell and he wolfs down her apple pies, he tells her his story. She quickly becomes convinced of his innocence and sets out to prove it. But Etha's investigations soon reveal a darker web of secrets, which imperil Temple's chances of reelection and cause the husband and wife to confront their long-standing differences about the nature of grief.
Up-and-coming Mission County, Pennsylvania, prosecutor Kate Magda has been given the assignment of a lifetime: lead counsel on a string of murders rocking the community. As the privileged daughter of a powerful local judge, Kate views the case as her chance to show her boss, her family, and the public that she is more than just "the judge's daughter."
As Kate delves into the case, she becomes convinced that she shares a personal link with the killer, who seems to know intimate details about a tragic childhood event from Kate's past—an event she'd long been trying to forget. Paranoia sets in, the night terrors return, and Kate has a strong sense that she's the killer's next victim. She no longer feels assigned to the case . . . she is the case, and solving it is her only chance for survival.
THEASA TUOHY, Released: May 1, 2018
People are doing all sorts of screwy things in 1929. It is a time of hope, boundless optimism, and prosperity. "Blue Skies" is the song on everyone's lips. The tabloids are full of flagpole sitters, flappers, and marathon dancers. Ever since Charles Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic solo, the entire world has gone nuts over flying. But everyone agrees that the stunt pilots take the cake.
Jenny Flynn defies the odds and conventions in her pursuit of the sky. She attracts the attention of Laura Bailey, a brash reporter crashing through her own glass ceiling at a New York City newspaper. Laura chases the pilot's story—and the truth about her own mysterious father—on a barnstorming escapade from Manhattan to the Midwest.
FLYING JENNY is a vivid portrait of an earlier time when airplanes drew swarming crowds entranced by the pioneers—male and female—of flight.
Terminally diagnosed with Huntington's disease as a child, Kade gave up on living a productive existence. He spent most of his time preparing for the Primal Age, even though he knew the end of the world wouldn't happen in his shortened lifetime.
In Kade's twenties, the United States is being ravaged by the Feline Flu. After the Flu hits pandemic levels, a vaccine is released to the public. Viewed as the last chance to stop the virus, over ninety percent of the population receives the vaccine within a single day.
The vaccine takes on a life of its own and deprives the recipients of their higher functions, leaving them with only their primal urges. These bloodthirsty monsters become known as foamers because of the red foam that forms around their mouths when they hunt.
As the world as he knows it descends into the Primal Age, Kade finds that he is not only useful, but is expected to lead other survivors. His group is constantly assaulted by foamers and a warmongering paramilitary unit. In an unrelenting fight for their lives, his group is forced to redefine humanity in a world without law.
JAIME MANRIQUE, Forthcoming: June 4, 2019
For the last fifty years, the Colombian drug cartels, various insurgent groups, and the government have fought over the control of the drug traffic, in the process destroying vast stretches of the Amazon, devastating Indian communities, and killing tens of thousands of homesteaders caught in the middle of the conflict.
Inspired by these events, Jaime Manrique's sixth novel, Like This Afternoon Forever, weaves in two narratives: the shocking story of a series of murders known internationally as the "false positives," and the related story of two gay Catholic priests who become lovers when they meet in the seminary.
Lucas (the son of farmers) and Ignacio (a descendant of the Barí indigenous people) enter the seminary out of a desire to help others and to get an education. Their visceral love story undergoes stages of passion, indifference, and rage. Working in a community largely composed of people displaced by the war, Ignacio stumbles upon the horrifying story of the false positives, which will put the lives of the two men in grave danger.
Turnbull is a working-class town full of weary people who struggle to make ends meet. Evictions, alcoholism, and random violence are commonplace. In the heat of July 1983, when eight-year-olds James Illworth, Dallas Darwin, and Felix Cassidy leave their homes to play in the woods, they have to navigate between the potentially violent world of angry adults and even angrier teens. Little do they know that by the end of the summer, one of them will lay dead, after a bit of playful bullying from older teens escalates to tragedy.
Loosely based on a real crime that took place on Long Island in 1979, LITTLE BEASTS is a panorama of a poor, mostly white neighborhood surrounded by the affluent communities of the East End. After the murder, the novel's main characters must come to grips with the aftermath, face down the decisions they've made, and reestablish their faith in the possibility of a better world.
It all starts when four unsuspecting women on a singles' bike trip through Normandy discover a mysterious red book about love. But did they discover it—or did the book bring them together? Magical words, spells, conjurations, and a little dose of synchronicity abound in THE LOVE BOOK, an anti–rom com about the misadventures of four women who embark on a soul mate–seeking journey. Somehow The Love Book insinuates itself into their lives and has its way with them. But there is more than matchmaking afoot. The four women—Emily, Beatrice, Max, and Cathy—are each nudged, cajoled, inspired—perhaps "guided"—despite themselves, to discover love, fulfillment, and the true nature of what being a soul mate really means. While on the surface a lighthearted romp, the novel is a serious exploration of the difficulties women routinely encounter when their lives do not turn out the way society, their families, and they themselves may have planned.
Almost everyone in town blames eight-year-old Violet Morgan for the death of her nine-year-old sister, Daisy. SING IN THE MORNING, CRY AT NIGHT opens on September 4, 1913, two months after the Fourth of July tragedy. Owen, the girls' father, "turns to drink" and abandons his family. Their mother Grace falls victim to the seductive powers of Grief, an imagined figure who has seduced her off-and-on since childhood. Violet forms an unlikely friendship with Stanley Adamski, a motherless outcast who works in the mines as a breaker boy. During an unexpected blizzard, Grace goes into premature labor at home and is forced to rely on Violet, while Owen is "off being saved" at a Billy Sunday Revival. Inspired by a haunting family story, SING IN THE MORNING, CRY AT NIGHT blends real life incidents with fiction to show how grace can be found in the midst of tragedy.
SOME GO HUNGRY is a fictional account drawn from the author's own experiences working in his family's provincial Indiana restaurant—and wrestling with his sexual orientation—in a town that was rocked by the scandalous murder of his gay high school classmate in the 1980s.
Now a young man who has embraced his sexuality, Grey Daniels returns from Miami Beach, Florida, to Fort Sackville, Indiana, to run Daniels' Family Buffet for his ailing father. Understanding that knowledge of his sexuality may reap disastrous results on his family's half-century-old restaurant legacy—a popular Sunday dinner spot for the after-church crowd—Grey struggles to live his authentic, openly gay life. He is put to the test when his former high school lover—and fellow classmate of the murdered student—returns to town as the youth pastor and choir director of the local fundamentalist Christian church.
SOME GO HUNGRY is the story of a man forced to choose between the happiness of others and his own joy, all the while realizing that compromising oneself—sacrificing your soul for the sake of others—is not living, but death.
A lyrical, mesmerizing debut from Jason Carney who overcomes his own racism, homophobia, drug addiction, and harrowing brushes with death to find redemption and unlikely fame on the national performance poetry circuit. Woven into Carney's path to recovery is a powerful family story, depicting the roots of prejudice and dysfunction through several generations.
Kade and his group of survivors find out the hard way that the end of the world is more populated than they had previously assumed. When two of his friends are captured by a former National Guard detachment in DC, Kade is forced to turn to his greatest enemy for help. But help comes at a price as seeds of distrust are sown through the group, breaking some of the strongest bonds in the family dynamic and threatening to tear the group apart. With new external threats and internal jealousy—not to mention the growing pack of foamers living on the group's doorstep—the question becomes not just will anyone survive without scars, but will anyone survive at all?
The page-turning sequel to the Amazon #1 best-selling thriller FOAMERS, STRAYS will leave you questioning everything you think you know about surviving in the modern world.
Marian Elliot Adams, an outspoken advocate for sensible undergarments for women, sweeps onto the Chautauqua stage under a brown canvas tent on a sweltering August night in 1917, and shocks the gathered town of Emporia with her speech: How can women compete with men in the work place and in life if they are confined by their undergarments? The crowd is further appalled when Marian falls off the stage and sprains her ankle, and is forced to remain among them for a week. As the week passes, she throws into turmoil the town's unspoken rules governing social order, women, and Negroes. The recently widowed newspaper editor Deuce Garland, his lapels glittering with fraternal pins, has always been a community booster, his desire to conform rooted in a legacy of shame–his great-grandfather married a black woman, and the town will never let Deuce forget it, especially not his father-in-law, the owner of the newspaper and Deuce's boss. Deuce and his father-in-law are already at odds, since the old man refuses to allow Deuce's stepdaughter, Helen, to go to Chicago to fight for women's suffrage.
But Marian's arrival shatters Deuce's notions of what is acceptable, versus what is right, and Deuce falls madly in love with the tall activist from New York. During Marian's stay in Emporia, Marian pushes Deuce to become a greater, braver, and more dynamic man than he ever imagined was possible. He takes a stand against his father-in-law by helping Helen escape to Chicago; and he publishes an article exposing the county's oldest farm family as the source of a recent typhoid outbreak, risking his livelihood and reputation. Marian's journey takes her to the frozen mud of France's Picardy region, just beyond the lines, to help destitute villagers as the Great War rages on. Helen, in Chicago, is hired as a streetcar conductor surrounded by bitter men who resent her taking a man's job. Meanwhile, Deuce struggles to make a living and find his place in Emporia's wider community after losing the newspaper.
Marian is a powerful catalyst that forces nineteenth-century Emporia into the twentieth century; but while she agitates for enlightenment and justice, she has little time to consider her own motives and her extreme loneliness. Marian, in the end, must decide if she has the courage to face small-town life, and be known, or continue to be a stranger always passing through.
Two fourteen-year-old runaways hell-bent on reaching California end up aboard the Tamzene, a mysterious riverboat that runs on alternative fuel. Piloted by the enigmatic Dr. Seabrook, the Tamzene travels the waterways of a bizarre, fun-house image of the US. This is a satire that questions the sanity of our basic principles, as Gulliver's Travels did for eighteenth-century England.
Bradley, Massachusetts is in many ways a typical small New England town, but a river divides it in half—on one side, the East End: crowded triple-deckers, the Most Precious Blood parish, and a Brazilian immigrant community; and on the other, the West End: renovated Victorians, Brandywine Academy, and families with last names as venerable as the Mayflower.
Deirdre Murphy and her partner Sara Jane (SJ) Edmonds have just moved to their first house—and for the first time are open in their relationship—in the West End, where Deirdre teaches at Brandywine Academy. A dedicated teacher from a working-class background, she is well loved by her students. But the murder of ten-year-old Leo Rivera from the East End changes everything—for Deirdre and SJ, for the girls at Brandywine, and for all of Bradley. And when Deirdre is falsely accused of sexually molesting one of her students, the entire town erupts.

The Holden Astra five-door hatch will be making a comeback in late 2016, with the company confirming it will bring the all-new Astra to our shores by the end of next year as a fresh-faced entrant in the ultra-competitive small hatch segment.
Holden also confirmed that the new Astra five-door will be an all-turbo affair, with two turbocharged petrol engines - a 1.4 litre and a 1.6 litre - to be offered in Australia. The 1.0 litre three-cylinder and 1.6 diesel will be staying behind in Europe.
The announcement was made as the 11th-generation Opel Astra (which will be rebadged as a Holden) made its motor show debut at Frankfurt, with Holden's Executive Director of Sales Peter Keley confident it would resonate with buyers.
"The all-new Astra is a world class car," he said.
"Its ability to combine outstanding fuel economy with exceptional small car performance and connectivity features will put Holden back on buyers' shopping lists."
Compared to the previous-generation Astra five-door, which was sold here wearing Opel badges between mid-2012 and mid-2013, the new Astra is slightly smaller and weighs around 130kg less yet boasts more rear legroom and standard equipment.
And while the two-engine lineup sounds very similar (the last Astra was also sold with 1.4 and 1.6 litre turbo four-pots), power outputs are greatly improved.
The old 1.4 turbo made 103kW and 200Nm, while the 2016 Astra's all-new direct-injected 1.4 turbo will make 114kW and 240Nm.
The new 1.6 turbo is a development of the old Astra's motor, but power is up 15kW and torque rises by 70Nm to give the Astra 1.6 a very handy 147kW and 300Nm output.
Holden's input was also sought during the new Astra's development, with the company confident that its incoming small hatch will deliver rock-slid handling and a comfortable ride on local roads.
Though precise specifications are still TBC, Holden also promises the Astra five-door range will deliver on the connectivity front too, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring confirmed for the range.
"More and more Australian drivers demand their cars to integrate seamlessly with their lives and their smartphones and key to Astra's appeal is the advanced infotainment system, complete with Apple Car Play and Android Auto compatibility," Keley said.
"With all of that in one package, we are confident that this vehicle will connect with customers and sitting next to the popular Astra GTC and VXR sports hatches, clearly indicates the quality of Holden's future product range."
The Astra Wagon, which also made its debut at Frankfurt today, is not in Holden's product plan.

Well, Mac OS 10.5.2 came out the other day and I decided it was time to start my migration to Leopard. The first glitch was that my Leopard disc was DOA. Bogus. No good. Kaputt. The dang thing wouldn't show up in either computer, so I called Apple and they are sending me a replacement. In the meantime, I've borrowed a disc from a buddy.
I do a clean installation every time. Upgrades don't work–they leave too much old crap on the system. Stuff that might interfere with the proper operation of things under the hood or with my development tools. Too make things easy, I installed to a partition of my new backup drive and then started transferring my data and applications over. Everything was smooth, except for Mail, which applied the junk filter to my previously sorted imap data. I mean, WTF? Then I discovered that it was treating my whole imap tree from one of my accounts as the junk folder. After some hair-pulling, my buddy Anoop got me straight. I had to configure Mail to use a specified junk folder. Like I would have figured that out. My lord. So I created a folder and told mail to use it for Junk and the problem was solved. The new folder suddenly reappeared at the top of the folders window renamed Junk with the Junk icon.
I also ran into a glitch installing MySQL server from MacPorts. Everything seemed to go fine, but when I ran the launchd/launchctl mojo, MySQL would not run. I reinstalled a few times and no love. Finally, I just wiped out MacPorts and started from scratch and all went fine. The first time I had neglected to initialize the db right away and perhaps that was the cause of my troubles. I'll never know, but starting over completely was a pretty painless operation and solved the problem.
Leopard fixes many issues under the hood, adds Time Machine, a new multi-threaded Finder, and more. But I must say, The new flat, blue folder icons are just terrible–a real step backwards. Also, I've had to move from my wonderful old NetNewsWire 2.5 to the new 3.1 as some of the old version's key commands do not work in Leopard. Makes me sad, because I really hate the giant, blue bubbles used for the unread article count. The are loud and obtrusive. I much preferred the old parenthetical style of indicating the unread count.
Safari 3 is also a good step up–I was still on a 2.x version because I did not upgrade Tiger to 10.4.11, choosing to stay at .10, since there had been many reported issues. I don't know what I think about its search yet though.
I'm really glad to be on Leopard though. As a developer and incessant computer user, it'll be great to have the stability, new Finder, DTrace and other features of the new system–not to mention Time Machine.

My kids have a great Daddy! The kids are crazy about their Daddy, and they live for the week-ends when "Daddy doesn't have to go to work for 2 WHOLE days!" So, they were very excited about having a special day just to celebrate Daddy.
They had so much fun getting ready, selecting Father's Day cards and gifts, and having Mommy set their alarm for 5 minutes before Daddy would get up on Sunday so that they could sneak in with their cards and gifts to surprise him.
Noah chose a card with lots of "gift certificates" for chores that he can do for Gareth, and he bought him a grilling fork with a digital meat thermometer in it, so that Daddy could quit cutting the meat all up on the grill because he was afraid it wasn't done. Nathan chose a funny card, and he was very excited to buy Daddy an electric fly swatter. Rosie chose a card with a princess on it, and she and I bought Daddy a new set of stainless steel grilling tools and a spray bottle for use on those flames when they get too high.
So, with all of those grilling tools, we decided we had better fix Daddy a barbecue feast for Father's Day lunch.
We had rib-eye steaks, apple marinated pork chops, eckridge sausage, loaded baked potatoes, grilled corn and strawberry spinach salad.
Then, it was on to dessert. Daddy loves lemon meringue pie, but the kids don't. So, I splurged and made 2 desserts. The kids had chocolate covered strawberries, and Daddy got his lemon meringue pie.
Afterwards, Daddy indulged in his favorite Sunday past time-a 3 hour nap! Actually, we all had a nap. After church in the evening, we stopped off at Marble Slab Creamery for ice cream for supper. A truly indulgent day! The kids are already excited to plan their next Daddy's celebration.

Software Testing: Blunders to Avoid
Bangalore: With software defects and bugs being widespread and unprecedented, Software Testing today is a major component in the software development life cycle to ensure that the application is free from any defects before it can be released. Although testing is a never ending process which needs to be carried throughout the development process, however; many software testing firms still make some mistakes during the testing phase.
Arun Kumar Singh, Vice President and Global Testing Head – Sales & Marketing at Wipro in an interview with Srinivasan Viswanathan highlighted some of the common mistake in Software Testing.
1. No Dedicated/Professional Tester
According to Arun Kumar Singh, many software testing firms lack a dedicated software tester. In such firms, testing is either done by developers or by business analysts. With a tight testing deadline, developers will rush through the testing process and overlook "semantic or syntactic bugs" as such bugs can only be detected by a professional tester. Thus, it is important to have a dedicated team of professional testers in the organization.
2. Inadequate time for testing
Arun Kumar Singh feels that delays in the upstream phases such as the design or implementation phase results in a shortened timeframe for testing. Thus, in order to meet the testing deadline, testers rush through the process and this result in buggy software. Singh highlighted the need to give sufficient time for testing and advised testing firms to re-plan the product's release when a project is delayed.
3. Start testing after coding and UT (Unit Testing) is completed
According to Singh, in order to reduce 20 to 30 per cent defects in an application, testers should begin testing the application once there is a requirement. The agile methodology, instead of testing the functions according to the expectations of the programmer, the requirements are being fulfilled as specified. The requirements should flow at the same time in the development team as well as the testing team, thus Singh advised testing firms to follow Waterfall or V nidel methodology.
4. Not implementing traceability across the life cycle
Although, testers don't need to measure 100 per cent coverage, however whatever measure has been made should be done objectively and scientifically. But many of the testing firms do not measure the coverage and as per Singh's views, this is another mistake that testing firms do. Thus, it is vital to use a Test Management System (TMS) and to apply two – way traceability.
5. Not analyzing the defects found in any of the testing to determine the cause
Only after identifying the root cause of the defect, a tester can fix the problem. Singh said that a Root Cause Analysis will help in reducing the number of defects in the upcoming software releases. The RCA analysis should be conducted not only at the end of the release but also after each test phase.

Here is a small correction in point number five. Tester never fix any issues. He will detect/find issues. Here correction required instead of Tester need Developer

A Corvette ZR1 Prototype And Camaro ZL1 Together May Provide Answers
They both have supercharged V8s, but one sounds a lot more powerful than the other.
We were just talking about how fast the Corvette ZR1 prototype seemed to be lapping the ring. We also mentioned how great it sounded. Well, we found ourselves another 'Ring spy video that shows the upcoming ZR1, but it also shows off the Camaro ZL1 1LE as well. It makes for a perfect comparison highlighting some of the differences between the two cars. This video from Stateside Super Cars is set up as a pure noise comparison, but we think we can glean a lot more than that.
First, let's take a minute to focus on that noise. Both cars obviously have supercharged V8 engines, but the ZR1 sounds a lot different from the Camaro. First, there's the volume. The Corvette is a lot louder, which is astonishing. The 1LE package on the Camaro comes with a louder and more aggressive exhaust, yet the Corvette is still louder with additional exhaust silencers. If you listen closely, it also sounds like the Corvette is revving faster, and even a little higher. Sadly, there aren't really long straights in the video to give a more conclusive answer on that.
ALSO SEE: Are these 5 Corvette "Must-Dos" Essential?
Moving away from the engine, this video just gives us a great example of speed. Nobody will call the Camaro ZL1 1LE slow. It's tested lap time around the Green Hell is just 2 seconds off the Z06 Corvette. Over a 7-minute lap, that makes the Camaro just 0.3% slower. We decided to slow down the video to ¼ speed and try and some math comparing the pace of the ZR1 mule and ZL1.
At 1:28 in the video, the Camaro passes the end of some outside curbing and starts a turn. Later it passes the end of the inside curbing of that turn after 1:31. At 1:48, the ZR1 passes the end curbing and makes the corner to the next end curbing around 1:51. Now we can't make any real assumptions about what that will mean for total lap times. We can't even say that the Camaro driver is pushing as hard as the Corvette driver. But from our rough slow motion time keeping, it seems like the ZR1 is about a half second quicker through this turn. On a track that has an official turn count of 73, that half-second could add up really quickly.
When this new ZR1 drops, we think it may be dropping some records with it. In the meantime, just enjoy the sights and sounds of these two great cars blasting around one of the world's great tracks.

A dealer agreement is a contract between a distributor of goods and the company who sells them to the public. Typically, the manufacturer will sell a product to the distributor, the distributor will then sell the product to the dealer, and the dealer will then sell the product to the final consumer.
Application for small business people
Many small businesses operate in the field of selling goods and services to the public. Unless they are dealing directly with the manufacturer of a product, then they will generally source the products they sell from a distributor. In these situations, the terms and conditions of the relationship between the small business and the distributor are set out in the dealer agreement.
Most manufacturers and distributors are very concerned with maintaining the profile of their brand and the quality of their products. They may require the dealer to abide by certain conditions before it will be granted the right to sell a particular product. These requirements may include having the product displayed in a specific way, having a set pricing structure and running certain promotions. The dealer is often referred to as an "authorised dealer" to emphasise that the manufacturing company approves of that small business as a representative to sell the product.
6 key things to consider
Prior to entering into a dealer agreement, it is important that you consider the following issues:
- Who are the parties to the agreement?
- If you are the dealer, does the agreement restrict you from entering into similar agreements with other distributors?
- Are there any other "authorised dealers" of the product in your local area?
- Is the dealer required to sell a specific amount of the product within a certain time frame?
- What are the distributor's responsibilities in terms of providing the product, delivery times, and what are the consequences of a breach?
- Who is responsible if there is any defect in the quality of the products?
