A Synagogue's Welcome
This new building is a sanctuary, school, and community center that serves as an East Campus for the expanding congregation of the renowned Park Synagogue in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. The original synagogue was designed by Eric Mendelsohn in 1950. Like its older sibling, it was designed to offer welcome, shelter, and blessing to its congregation. This modern structure also recalls and celebrates the long history of Judaism.
The primary building is a simple steel frame box sheathed in a stick and panel mosaic of copper cladding. While copper in itself is a primeval but durable material, this patterning evokes the wood siding of synagogues in Eastern Europe, from where most congregant families came.
The building is expressive from select vantage points. Large organic shapes burst from the larger copper-faced rectangle; the first view from the road is of the sanctuary, which is faced with Jerusalem stone.
The walls of the sanctuary extend outside to protect a memorial garden. The Jerusalem stone elements throughout the complex can be seen as fragments of ancient buildings, recalling Judaism's long history.
Parking and the entry is from the back of the building, facing south to shield against cold, wet winters. Two great copper canopies welcome visitors as they enter and bless them as they depart.

And Then Came Denis Gagnon
Decidedly, 2010 is Denis Gagnon's year. From his recent collaboration with mass retailer Bedo, to the documentary film of which he is the subject, Je m'appelle Denis Gagnon (My Name Is Denis Gagnon), which premiered earlier this year at the International Festival of Films on Art, this designer is generating some major buzz. This leaves me incredibly embarrassed to admit that I'd never heard of the bespectacled fashion maverick before now! These days, the fashion cognoscenti have one more reason to celebrate Gagnon, with the much-anticipated retrospective of the designer's work at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts this month. The first of its kind, the exhibit, aptly titled, Denis Gagnon s'expose (Denis Gagnon Shows All) will showcase the work of the homegrown couturier spanning the course of his illustrious decade-long career. And there's my opportunity to school myself on Montreal fashion's darling enfant terrible (I'm still so embarrassed!)

Interesting topic. I think you pretty much have it: style is from within. But then again, your personal style does have outside influences just like fashion.
btw, katia,you're an amazing writer. You should google search internship opportunities abroad. There are so many out there, and I thought of you as I was checking them out.
Hey Mags, You're right, personal style is definitely influenced by outside sources, but I feel it differs from fashion in that we take these outside influences to help us better represent our inner selves, if that makes any sense!
Thanks for the compliment, sweetie. I will look into these internship opportunities. Thanks for letting me know!
😉 Makes sense. Btw, I just noticed I had commented on the wrong post lol
Haha! Mags, that's what I figured! No worries, happens all the time 🙂

If You Can't Find a Spouse Who Supports Your Career, Stay Single
Support for both careers equally is essential in a marriage
Although marriages might seem increasingly, progressive and supportive, this support rarely extends to both careers being valued equally.
I was at a dinner with eight highly successful, professional women recently, ranging in age from 35 to 74. Their stories were typical of research I have been conducting on dual-career couples. One had just been given a huge promotion opportunity in another country. Despite this she had struggled for several months to get her spouse to agree to join her. Another had decided that to save her marriage, she would take a yearlong sabbatical. She would go back to school, giving the family some balance and a breather from two high-powered jobs. A third had tried to work part-time for her law firm but quickly realized she was being professionally sidelined. She opted for a doctorate instead. Her husband continued his career.
This experience underlines the conclusion I've drawn from years of research and experience: Professionally ambitious women really only have two options when it comes to their personal partners — a super-supportive partner or no partner at all. Anything in between ends up being a morale- and career-sapping morass.
Adapting to the rise of women
This is the reality of the half-baked transition we are in when it comes to women in the workplace. The 20th century saw the rise of women. The 21st century will see the adaptation (or not) of men to the consequences of that rise. The reality is that the transition is not smooth and backlashes will be regular, but the benefits are potentially huge.
So far, a small minority of men and companies are at the forefront of the shift. As Melinda Gates recently wrote, we are still "sending our daughters into companies designed for our dads." And into marriages billed as equal, as long as the man's career isn't disturbed by his wife's success. (While I've occasionally heard stories of career-stifling spouses from same-sex couples, the vast majority I've heard are from heterosexual couples. Within that, it's almost always the woman whose career comes second.)
Turn around your relationships, at home or at work, with a session of our Relationship Mastery: Business Success and Personal Joy
The parenting vacuum
It's not that these husbands aren't progressive, supportive spouses. They certainly see themselves that way — as do many of the CEOs and leaders of companies I work with. But they are often caught out by trade-offs they were not expecting. They are happy to have successful, high-earning wives. They applaud and support them — until it starts to interfere with their own careers.
A study by Pamela Stone and Meg Lovejoy found that husbands were a key factor in two-thirds of women's decisions to quit the workforce. This was often because the wives had to fill a so-called parenting vacuum. "While the women almost unanimously described their husbands as supportive," writes Joan Williams of the study, "they also told how those husbands refused to alter their own work schedule or increase their participation in caregiving." As one woman put it, "He has always said to me, 'You can do whatever you want to do.' But he's not there to pick up any load."
A lack of real support
The women are left shocked and surprised. They had thought the rules of engagement were clear, that well-educated couples would be mutually supportive and take turns, helping each other become all they can be. A survey of Harvard Business School graduates emphasizes the disconnect: More than half the men expected their careers to take precedence over their wives' careers, while most women expected egalitarian marriages. (Almost no women expected their own careers to come first.) Millennial men are often portrayed as more enlightened, but data complicates this picture: Surveys have shown that younger men may be even less committed to equality than their elders.
Even for couples who are committed to equality, it takes two exceptional people to navigate tricky dual-career waters. It's easier to opt for the path of least resistance — the historical norm of a career-focused man and a family-focused woman. Especially if, as is often the case, the man is a few years older, has a career head start, and so earns a higher salary. This leads to a cycle that's hard to break: Men get more opportunities to earn more, and it gets harder and harder for women to catch up.
It all falls apart
The disillusionment is deep — and lasting. The result is a delayed reaction, as I found in researching a book on the increasing divorce and marriage rates in the 1950s and 1960s: Talented women, forced by their husband's attitudes to downgrade their aspirations, bide their time. After their children leave, often so do the wives. About 60% of late-life divorces are initiated by women, often to focus their energies on flourishing careers post-50.
Now it's the husband's turn to be shocked. They had worked so hard, provided so well — that was what they had understood their role to be! But that isn't what modern couplehood is about in a more gender-balanced century. The dual-earner couple has huge advantages in turbulent economic times, as Eli Finkel of Northwestern University has written in his book The All-or-Nothing Marriage. The best marriages have never been happier, more balanced, or more mutually fulfilling. Gender balance at home has created far more resilient couples. But it takes mutual support and balance across the decades. Ignore your partner's dreams at your peril.
Ignoring the signs
"I didn't know," many of the men I interviewed told me after their wives left. To me, this sounds a lot like what corporate leaders tell me after their most senior female executives quit. They hadn't expected them to leave. Or they hadn't quite understood how upset they were by the attitudes, the lack of recognition, or the promotion of the less competent man down the hall.
But in the end, underneath it all, it isn't true that they didn't know. The reality is they didn't care. They didn't listen — because they didn't think they had to. They nodded absently and ignored the rambling in their ear because they thought it didn't matter and wouldn't affect them. Several men admitted to me that they just thought their wives' frustrations were due to menopause. They believed all they had to do was wait it out. It's this kind of minimizing and discounting that drives women to distraction — before it drives them out the door. Much to the surprise, and subsequent grief, of their husbands.
Strategies to create balance
A lot of the things people learn about leadership and team building at work is directly transferable to managing better balance at home. Some of the strategies I outline in my upcoming book include:
- Vision. Discuss long-term personal and professional goals early, and revise regularly. Lack of alignment and mutual support between couples can derail entire life strategies. Be clear about what support will be required and expected to achieve these goals and where it will come from.
- Active listening. The most common complaint from women is that they don't feel heard; from men, that they don't feel appreciated. For the first, introduce regular sit-down listening sessions (monthly is good, quarterly a minimum). Dedicated, face-to-face, concentrated, unspeaking, listening to everything your partner needs to say. Then repeat back what you heard. Adjust as necessary. Then switch. Sound awkward? Only until it becomes relationship-saving.
- Feedback (aka flattery). Everyone appreciates feedback, but it is increasingly rare, both at home and at work. The rule usually recommended is 5 to 1: Five positive comments for every "constructive" one. Turns out humans love to be admired, especially by their intimate partners. So dial up the volume and tell your spouse how gorgeous, brilliant, caring, and supportive they are. Reward the positive and watch it grow. Sound artificial? Only until you see the light ignite in their eyes.
Do what it takes
If your partner is not willing to engage, uninterested in "leaning in," and resistant to seeking help, you should ask yourself why. Just like at work, it is interesting first to work on yourself. Understand your own issues, the impact you have on others, the degree to which you are creating the reaction you are struggling with. Consider working with a therapist or coach. In the end, after you've figured yourself out, if the relationship hasn't improved, the question remains: What is keeping you in this team? Are you staying out of love or fear?
Until recently, women had more fear than finances; a lack of love was bad, but not as bad as poverty. For many women, greater financial independence means they can hold their relationships to a higher standard. Women want love and recognition and support, at work and at home. Companies that don't offer it find they struggle with retention of women — many of whom will start their own companies. Couples that don't offer it struggle with the same thing: Women leave.
Retaining women, at home and at work, takes skill and self-awareness. It takes attention and an intentional readjustment of yesterday's rules to today's realities. At work, it means adapting company cultures and systems. At home, it requires an equally strategic focus on enhancing both partners' potential. This means a long-term family vision across lengthening lives, tons of attentive listening, and regular flattery for the journey. Anything less is so yesterday.

Life after Covenant House
Angelyss is 18 years old. While in high school she worked hard to get straight A's and her academic advisors supported her as she applied to some of the best universities in the country – landing an academic scholarship at a private university in New Orleans where she is today. So what's her connection to Covenant House? She lived there 16 years ago, with her mom, Carolina.
Carolina grew up in poverty. Her mother's untreated schizophrenia sometimes forced them to live in homeless shelters and her father was unable to help because he struggled with drug addiction. Carolina was 16 when Angelyss was born and they lived in a city-run shelter at the time. Angelyss' father was unsupportive, her grandfather was in jail, and her grandmother's mental health was deteriorating. Carolina quickly ran out of friends who were willing to let her and a newborn stay on their couch. Several times, their only option was a towel that they laid down on the floor for the two of them to sleep on together. Scared, tired, and tired of feeling scared and tired, Carolina was determined to prevent Angelyss from growing up in the environment that she did.
A friend told Carolina about Covenant House and she was accepted into the Mother & Child Program. Carolina told Angelyss it was a hotel and reassured her that everything was going to be ok. She quickly got a job as a security guard and Angelyss spent her days in the Covenant House daycare program. Carolina continued to work and save money, and, with the help of her case manager, she secured an apartment of her own. She and Angelyss still live in that same apartment today in midtown Manhattan.
Carolina has been working as an assistant to a group of physicians for more than ten years, inspiring Angelyss to focus on pursuing medicine.
She shared with us that a day doesn't go by without her thinking what her life would be like if Covenant House wasn't there for her mom all those years ago:
"I learned my ABCs & how to count at Covenant House, and I made my first friend there," Angelyss told us. "It's an honor to represent the impact that Covenant House has on homeless kids. Covenant House changed my life – and my mom's life – and I promise not to take this opportunity for granted."

Lyttos Beach
Holidays to Ipsos offer an ideal snapshot of Corfu, with scenic views, bustling beaches and a growing party scene.
Picture-perfect coastline
The first thing you'll notice about Ipsos is its Blue-Flag beach. This pretty pebbly number stretches all the way from Ipsos to Pygri to make "The Golden Mile". And it's not only sunseekers that flock to these shores. Alongside the scenic waterfront, you can expect to see plenty of bars, restaurants and clubs, as well.
Hillside surroundings
The area around Ipsos is filled with winding hills, mountains and woods, where you'll find quiet villages tucked away. You can walk around narrow cobbled streets and browse traditional market shops selling handmade souvenirs. Heading in land also offers up some peace and quiet, and panoramic views of the landscape.
Corfu Town
Ipsos is a 30-minute drive from Corfu's main city, Corfu Town. Here, cobblestone streets and brightly coloured Venetian-style buildings sit next to a 15th-century fortress. The old town's a World Heritage Site, and daytrips here to see the cathedral, museums and markets are part-and-parcel of a holiday to Ipsos.

• The Great Seal of Canada issued on a coin for the very first time to mark the 150th anniversary of the Confederation of Canada
• The very first coin to feature both selective gold plating and ultra-high relief engraving
• Expertly struck in Pure Silver to a pristine Proof finish
• Just 50 available
Why I recommend The 2017 Great Seal of Canada Silver Proof Coin…
The Great Seal signifies the formal sanction of the Crown – Her Majesty's influence as Canada's reigning monarch.
It is used on the nation's most important documents and has been reproduced on a coin for the first time during Canada's 150th birthday year.
The coin itself pairs up gold plating with ultra-high relief engraving for the first time, bringing the Great Seal out of the coin.
With just 6,000 issued, a sell-out looks likely.
I was only able to secure just 50 for CPM clients, which come complete with the Royal Canadian Mint Certificate of Authenticity.

The Star of Galgalatz
Apparently there is a developing heir to the MBD throne who is winning over the hearts of teenage girls across Israel. His name is Gad Elbaz. Of course, Rabbis have to express their ambivalence over having such a star in their midst, because, as we know, Rabbis don't like anything fun.
"They fear the Elvis-like effect he is having on the young female portion of the highly traditional community, known as Haredi, where song is considered nearly as powerful as prayer."
His music though is the strangest assortment of influences since Mattisyahu burst onto the reggae scene.
"While attending religious schools as a teenager, Elbaz began developing a style that draws on Arab rhythms, hip-hop beats, the harmonies of the Backstreet Boys and the ballads of Whitney Houston and Celine Dion."
Based on that description, I don't think I even want to hear Elbaz's songs. Catch the rest of the article here.

Buddhism, however, maintains that although there are positive and radical social developments which 'can relieve much suffering, by themselves these will always ultimately disappoint us. This is because they will be distorted and shaped by the aggressive and acquisitive character of our deluded root human condition - Buddha's `Three Fires'. (This is the most striking lesson of the failure of the Communist dream of human liberation). Consequently, our analysis (or rather, our understanding) must begin with the nature of human beings themselves. Social structures and processes are indeed hugely important, but still nevertheless only secondary
Buddhism thus returns social science to its existential roots. For example, it invites economists to consider its claim that acquisitiveness originates as much in the root insecurity and angst of the human animal as in its physical needs. This is illustrated alike by the flaunting conspicuous consumption of the wealthy ruling minority throughout history and by characteristic behaviour in the affluent societies of the world.
Secondly, we do nevertheless need to develop a Buddhist social theory which will both be taken seriously by educated non-Buddhists and which can explain the complexity of modem social life without secularising or diminishing Dhamma. Parading yet again all the social passages from the suttas is just not good enough! Buddhism offers a diagnosis of the human condition almost wholly in terms of the person. Only comparatively recently has social evolution become sufficiently dynamic and complex as to stimulate the development of explicatory social theories. In my book The Social Face of Buddhism (Wisdom 1989) I argued that phenomenological social theory provides a highly appropriate amplification of basic Dhamma. From the time of our birth, we each not only respond to the precariousness of our human condition in a personal sense, but as inheritors of delusive meanings about the world. these latter become objectified and solidified `out there'. Authority, for example, is seen as `belonging' to someone, instead of an attribute we have given to some one who has power. Similarly, the ideolagies of `us' and `them', good and evil, which bestride our world are mistaken as reality itself, rather than the alienating projections of the insecure and fearful beings that we are. In short, our `personal' kamma is supercharged by, and at one with, a social kamma.
Similarly, the great institutions which embody the aggressiveness, acquisitiveness and divisiveness of Buddha's `Three Fires' appear to take on a life of their own, trapping in `the system' even those who may be reluctant to meet their demands and expectations. In the Over-Developed countries millions of kindly people happily accept `ordinary' lifestyles which are in fact needless yet hugely destructive ecologically and in relation to Third World peoples. A few of the more thoughtful may change to a more frugal, `Green' lifestyle, but unless they are also committed changing the social values and structures ultimately responsible their personal example can have little effect. We are entrained in a headlong global ecosocial kamma which is overwhelming good intentions like the Rio de Janeiro o Earth Summit. These are examples of a socially informed Dhammic perspective which I have developed more fully in my Social Face of Buddhism and in essays like Getting out of our own light* which presents ideology as a key category in Buddhist social analysis of another.
Thirdly, our Buddhist social analysis must be extended so as to be practical and helpful to all who are socially oppressed and exploited, if we are truly brothers and sisters of another Our analysis must make it clear that the inner work of spiritual liberation must go hand in hand with the outer work of eco-social liberation, and that they are ultimately about one and the same Wisdom/Compassion. Meditative insight into our self-created `reality' can free-off energy and courage, as well as bringing clarity. We will' only overcome our eco-social afflictions when enough of us are enough at peace with ourselves, with one another, and with the planet, as t make fruitful our efforts to create, as from now, a society which is ultimately held together by loving kindness (metta), instead of by the power of the State or the greed of the Market. And those efforts, and the non-violent, mutualistic grassroots organisations and structures which we are now creating, must in turn support personal growth just as the old institutions distort and stunt it.
There is no lack of blueprints for ecologically harmonious, democratic, decentralised, self-reliant societies of the future. Whilst these can offer inspirational guidelines they are also commonly flourished as consoling ideological utopias. Our Buddhist social analysis must assist us in helping to create an alternative future in modest and practical ways, well rooted in existing realities. There are now a growing number of such projects in the Third World, some of which are spiritually informed (The Buddhist inspired Sarvodaya movement in Sri Lanka is one instructive example}. In the Bodhisattva tradition, we must be able to share our social understanding with people of other faiths and no faith, without necessarily preaching Buddhism to them.

The accused persons allegedly defrauded a company of N2.9 million
Two men were arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Monday, on a five count charge bordering on conspiracy and obtaining money under false pretence.
The men, Uzoma Okonkwo and Okonkwo Ugochukwu, were charged alongside their companies – Mayor Global Resources Investment Limited and Okonkwo Energy Solution Limited before a Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos.
The EFCC accused the two of allegedly defrauding a company – Dezern Nigeria Limited- of N2.9million.
The charges, according to the EFCC, contradict "section 516 of the Criminal Code Act Cap 77, Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1990 read in conjunction with section 8(a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act 2006 and punishable under section 1(3) of the same Act."
The accused persons pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The EFCC counsel, Anselem Ozioko, prayed the court to remand the accused persons in prison pending the hearing of the case. The defence counsel, Frank Ndigwe, however informed the court that he had filed an application for bail for the accused persons and asked the court to consider the application.
In his ruling, the judge, Okechuku Okeke, adjourned the case to October 29 and November 1, 9, and 19, and ordered that the accused persons be remanded in prison.

fun at the farm (preview for the p family)

There's a neat place near my home that I drive past quite a lot (i.e. every time I go to the grocery store!) I always love looking at it and have often envied the photographers with connections to the family that own it. A couple weeks ago, I got to be one of the lucky photographers! I was so excited when my friends asked me to take their family portraits there. It is an amazing home with a barn and a gorgeous yard. There were so many possibilities! Here are a few of the results…
k & c…a preview
Posted in Photo Previews, tagged family photographer, Newborn Photographer, Utah County Photographer on September 3, 2010| 2 Comments »
This shoot was a little nerve-wracking for me before it started. k and c were coming at 2. At noon a huge thunderstorm rolled through. The sky was dark outside and it was really windy. I knew I wouldn't have enough light if it kept up and I really wanted to avoid using flash. So I spent an hour brainstorming, setting up, trying things out and preparing for a dark rainy afternoon with no sunshine to work with. At 1:45 the sky cleared and the day turned out to be perfect. Whew. I have to give the credit to my older daughter…she was praying for the storm to pass by before the photoshoot (I'm sure it also had something to do with her dislike of thunderstorms).
This was a newborn + sibling session for c (the newborn…okay he was 2 months old) and his sister k. c wasn't too happy about having his photo taken to begin with, but as he got used to the situation he relaxed a bit and I was able to capture some more expressive shots. k is just a lot of fun…she seems very mellow, but she has a definite twinkle in her eye! So fun!

Teresa Lane is Head of Communications, Marketing and Town Centre Management at Aylesbury Vale District Council
Whilst doubtless there's a way to go before the new business rates system is finalised, on the surface, the proposals seem an opportunity for all communication teams, however, large or small their town, to seriously brush up their place marketing skills and support economic development colleagues in building good communications with the business community.
The potential rewards of business retention will certainly increase the appetite of some councils to make sure that their local economy thrives and competes successfully for new business. For more deprived areas, there are concerns that they will become even exposed to the recession.
In Aylesbury Vale, our designation as a major growth area some years ago, was certainly the push we needed to up our game on promoting the area as a successful business location. The target of creating 1000 new jobs year on year to match our housing growth focused the minds wonderfully and bought together services from across the public sector in a manner that may not have been achieved so quickly and enthusiastically without the economic challenge.
For communications, it was great opportunity to bring place marketing to the forefront of the agenda. We didn't (and still don't) have a big budget but working with the business community and other public sector provides, we have been able to achieve a massive amount. Every place has a story to tell and who's better placed than communicators to weave the message andd get it out there.

Menangle Bridge: Maintaining an Aged Structure into the Future
- Publication no: ABC-DES305-14
- Published: 22 October 2014
- PDF (free) Download
The future of bridges will be shaped by the reliability in the service life span of our older and current generation of structures. Designs and materials have changed over the years due to both lessons learnt and advances in materials. However, a significant number of older technology bridges remain in operation, including Menangle Bridge in NSW, Australia. This wrought iron structure was built in 1863 to provide a vital railway link between Sydney and Melbourne, Australia. It has been the subject of numerous investigations, testing and monitoring, due to concerns over cracking, ultimately leading to its temporary closure in 2003 a decision highly publicised at the time. This paper discusses the most recent investigation of this infamous structure, undertaken in 2012, which included a rigorous load rating, fatigue analysis and crack investigation. The premise of the work was to allay concerns about fatigue cracking, and enable the speed restrictions over the structure to be uplifted. The investigation navigated its way through the remarkable path of the previous studies, material behaviour, effects of deterioration and alterations on the capacities and redundancies. The investigations concluded that for the first time in 10 years, the structure could operate at full track speed for current traffic, albeit with ongoing routine inspections and maintenance. This paper presents an overview of the investigation into the wrought iron connection details, and how detailed analysis of these connections has helped to remove uncertainties about its future.

New Single "With You Here"
New Single "With You Here" from upcoming album called "Closet Leftovers" is now available to listen and download on all major stores!!
Apple Music–>http://bit.ly/WyouHere
Google Play–>http://bit.ly/GoplayWyH
Amazon Music–>http://bit.ly/TGWyH
Five minutes before going to work, I started playing my guitar and wrote down the lyrics, not really thinking about anything (I ended up almost late to work that day). Later on I realized that the part of the lyrics when I say "I'm so slow, I can barely see", had to do with the time I lost partial vision for a moment, probably due to an unhealthy lifestyle. At that time in my life, I wanted to get healthier, so for me it's about that. During the recording process, I sat down in my closet/recording studio, and started with vocals and guitar in the same take. Then I added the second guitar, drums, and bass. The whole process took a few days because I was only able to mix part of it when I had the time. Usually it was late, after work around 3am. –> Press Release
Come walk to me
I'm so slow I can barely see
With you here
Feels like I'm in conscious dream
So stay with me
I'm ok I'll always be

Brooklyn's Tender Glue premieres 'Goodbye Bushwick' and plays The City Reliquary on 8/26
Today, we are premiering Brooklyn indie-folk act Tender Glue latest single "Goodbye Bushwick" (streaming below) off forthcoming new album 'Steady Light.' Sounding out curling atmospherics that recall Kurt Vile's great 2011 release 'Smoke Ring from My Halo" from a few years back, the guitar-based track is also, impressively, a poetic paean of days gone by in the tradition of none other than Dylan or Cohen.

- Hyundai's exhilarating i30 N hot hatch can present armchair critics with a unique problem – how do they review a car that absolutely hates to sit still?
From a static position, there's just no way to truly appreciate the unique characteristics of a high-performance car that was designed to be as fun to drive in everyday life on the road as it is on a race track.
To solve this conundrum, Hyundai brought a critic – and his comfy couch – to Snetterton Race Circuit in the UK to witness the i30 N Performance in all its blisteringly fun to drive glory.
The Track Race
The twist: to get that critic as close to the fun as possible, that comfy couch was secured to a flatbed truck and towed around the race track at high speed. Of course, it couldn't touch the i30 N Performance (which accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in just 6.1 seconds), but it certainly gives us a great way to see just how incredible Hyundai's hot hatch really is.
With a choice of five different driving modes, the i30 N offers more options than the average performance car. Normal covers everyday driving, ECO increases its economy and efficiency, while Sport mode injects athleticism and aggression into the car.
But – as our critic discovered – N mode is where the car really comes to life. Hit that button and suddenly the engine roars, the dampeners stiffen and it becomes agile and alert. You can brake right the way into the hairpin, allowing the 19-inch Pirelli tyres to grip into the tarmac, providing fantastic traction.
In N Custom mode you can tailor the suspension, rev-match, the exhaust sound, the engine and completely turn off the Electronic Stability Control (ESC). Even on the straights, it handles itself at speeds of up to 155 miles per hour.
The Hairpin
Watching the i30 N tear through Snetterton's hairpin corners, the critic explained that the reason you'll want to opt for the Performance Package isn't just the specially-developed 19-inch Pirelli P-Zero high-performance Hyundai N tyres, larger brake discs, N Corner Carving Differential and Variable Exhaust Valve System that provide the optimal race track experience.
It's also that with ESC turned off, all of these extras mean you'll have maximum driving fun – because when Hyundai says "off", it really means "off". You'll be able to tighten your line and add extra speed through the corners, just like a professional race driver would.
The N Corner Carving Differential (Electronically Controlled Limited Slip Differential) enhances the car's stability, delivering optimum torque correction that prevents the i30 N's wheels from slipping and reducing understeer when cornering.
The i30 N's front axle benefits from an enhanced lateral stiffness and reduced weight compared to the five-door version. The N Power Sense axle sends fast and precise feedback from the front axle to the driver, improving grip and transferring engine power to the road effectively.
The Backseat Driver
Of course, while all of these components give the i30 N sensational performance, Hyundai didn't forget about the most important component of all: the driver. To connect whoever's behind the wheel to this incredible car, the i30 N is full of some amazing technology.
The i30 N's Launch Control controls engine torque when starting from the standstill, helping to launch it like a professional race car. Launch Control can be effectively used in N drive mode: with the off-switched Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and the clutch disengaged, the first gear can be engaged immediately by releasing the clutch pedal within five seconds after full throttle acceleration.
The car's eight-inch touchscreen supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, enabling users to connect their devices to deliver and control music, telephone and messaging or navigation functions on-screen. It also features the N Performance Display, which gives you information including G-force, torque, the turbo boost and acceleration and lap timers.
The i30 N features uniquely designed high-performance sport seats with powerful lumbar support at the push of a button. And extendable seat cushions further enhance the feeling of the car being moulded around you for the most comfortable driving position a hot hatch can offer.

He is equally and exceptionally capable with blades and bludgeoning weapons, but he is just as dangerous empty handed.
While it is a great asset, the Baresark spirit within him is also a disability, coloring his judgment and endangering his allies.
Known History
Upon the Great skins of Abrol-Arkul, written in blood, is the tale of the Usurper, Bringer of Wars and Dust. Morka was born in the far northeastern region of Turanghem, the spine of Asunda. Not far from the warring states of Zalador and Ujoa. Morka was born a bastard in the tribe of the Stone Arm Clan, his father having fallen victim to the wars that his people waged against the Selvanu of Turanghem. Morka was raised by his three older brothers who beat him constantly and never let him eat. On occasion, a meal would come from his mother, but for the most part, Morka had to fend for himself. As he grew older, the beatings and the hunger forced him into the woods, where he learned the art of hunting from the Ragatt of his tribe. Hunting was no job for a Grachukk, and being one of the great orcs, he knew only shame as the bonfires raged. Morka was ridiculed and cast down, but hunting came to him naturally, in fact, he was the best the Ragatt had ever seen. Night after night, while the tribe ate his kill and ridiculed him, he sat in stoic silence, stewing in vile hatred for all he looked upon. He cursed them all. He cursed them by his own malice and unto no god.
Time passed for many seasons and Morka grew large, towering over many of the other Grachukk. Just as the wars of the Selvanu reached their peak, the elements unleashed their wrath upon the Stone Arm Clan. Winter came one morning and did not leave. The icy rage of Kruss had been unleashed upon them. The clan began to starve. With the ground blanketed in white and the prey disbursed to greener pastures, there eventually came a day when even the great Morka returned empty handed. His brothers reveled in his failure. Even though they starved for meat, they took great pleasure in taunting Morka. His sorrow was enough to fill their stomachs that day.
The largest of the brothers rose to his feet and spat at Morka, demanding a feast. Morka looked upon him with a death stare that gave him no pause. And it was without pause that Morka turned his back on his brother and approached his mother's tent where she lay sick and dying. Morka dragged her out by her leg and before his brothers and clansmen, he tossed her into the fire.
Legend says that he roared at them with such hatred that their souls knew death had found them. In fear, they charged him and took him to the ground. They beat upon him with stones, but the rage within Morka was a dark spirit that had now been unleashed. Fist over fist came down upon them in the dust and earth. Bones broke and flesh burst in a torrent of blood. As if in a dream of utter euphoria, he raged until his bones rattled him back into reality.
Morka found himself standing over the twitching mass of his older brother, beaten beyond recognition but somehow still living. The other two were not so lucky. Morka ordered his brother to sit near the fire and wait for his meal to finish cooking. In great shame, his brother complied. But his arms were broken and could not make the smallest of movements. Like a nursemaid, Morka sat next to his brother and fed him pieces of their poorly-cooked mother. The starving tribe watched as the two feasted alone, none daring to approach the great spirit of the Baresark that lingered within the fire pit.
Morka and his brother ate well that winter as the Stone Arm Clan drifted into the earth. One by one, their skulls returned to dust, and their flesh fed the Baresark. By spring, only Morka and his brother remained. With his brother's wounds healed, they departed from the mountains and the territories of Turanghem.
Some say that Morka let his brother live that day so he could bear witness to the great and terrible things that Morka would do in his lifetime. Others say Morka wanted him to share in the brutality that Morka knew as a young orc, giving him a life of servitude and pain. Undoubtedly, there is truth to both, for Morka gave his brother a new name, Hunjik, which means "slave" in orc. And in return, Hunjik gave his brother a new name… Morka Moa. It means, "Morka, Hunter of All."
