Hello from Redding, CA, Sonoma, San Francisco, Santa Clara and Sacramento and soon to be Charlotte and Dallas. Wow I thought I was relaxing and resting until I read about all the places I have been to this month alone. I guess you could say that even though I did not ride any real roller coasters this year, it seems that I have been riding a few in life. I am right now sitting in one of my favorite places in CA the Sunflower Cafe in Sonoma. I have made several trips between Redding and the Bay Area. I have had a few overnights in these areas, because my car does not have cruise control. I have found it is too much for my body to drive 8 hours with no cruise control. I have also been to Sacramento a few times in the last few months for therapy for my hand. While attending my therapy God opened the door for one of my paintings to be hung in the VA clinic in the occupational therapy office. God is so good and wastes nothing. He will even make good out of a bad situation. I had an unfinished painting from my first year of a hand with the glory of God dripping from it. A friend of mine who tagged along with me suggested I paint a picture of a hand for My therapist. She did not know I had painted a hand. All I had to do was finish it. What an Honor. My only prayer while finishing it was that the people who look at it would be healed as they see it.
Saying goodbye is never fun… I always like to say see you later. It does happen as you will see later in this newsletter. While saying goodbye to my dear friend Heidi I got the chance to reconnect with some friends from first year. Heidi and I took a couple of days in Sonoma before she left and over Mother's Day. It was refreshing to breathe a little after graduation and before the School of Creativity. I took Heidi and another friend Rosa from the U.K. To the airport in San Francisco and not quite a week later I am back on the journey to San Francisco to pick-up another passenger. All while my stuff is moved to a new home. Yes today is moving day and I have to say it is the first move I have ever had where I did not have to carry boxes to a truck and unload the truck later. I just have to drive to the airport and pick up a very sweet young lady, while the men move the stuff. I am blessed. So there has been a lot of trips back and forth. To my surprise I have accomplished much more than I expected and now I am off to Sacramento to hop on a plane to North Carolina to spend a week with my parents who I have not seen for three years. I last saw them in may 2014. Wow time flies. After a week with them and connecting with others. I will hop on a plane to Dallas to be with my kids and to see to some business concerning my stuff left from my house.
So, amongst all my crazy journeying I did finally Graduate from my second year of school here. This has been an amazing year at school I have had the chance to travel the world. I was able to travel to Bend, OR, Mexico City, Pasadena,CA, Istambul, Cape Town, and Cuba. Most of these were ministry trips where they take what we have learned and guide us as we actually do the stuff with guidance from the trip leaders. It is exciting to go to these places and see God move through you. It is a great way of learning. The difference between second and third year is they no longer provide you as much guidance you still have a Mentor but you are given the chance to be all God has called you to be. They then let you take the lead in what you are assigned to do and do the work of the ministry. I have as my opening picture is my mentor for third year. Third year is an internship. It only cost $800. I paid my deposit after being accepted and then sold a painting.
It is called "Let the Fires of Revival Burn" with the scriptures
"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven."
Matthew 5:14-16 NASB
"Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path."
Psalms 119:105 NASB
This painting represents the fires of revival being released all over the world. It is a lantern with a flame burning and as the winds of Revival blows the sparks are being carried to the world and igniting the places where the sparks touch. I feel it was a picture that showed what God was doing with our class. Also after painting that painting a person came up after the service and offer to buy it. I sold the painting for $200. This was the first painting I have sold since coming here. The $200 is paying for my school for next year.
As you can see there is a theme or two throughout my journeys. One is travel and the other is Creativity. So during the activities leading up to graduation we had a time where the Father's of the house came to pray over us. When they came to me Kris Vallotton not knowing me (I was one of 700 students) he first said He was releasing creativity over me. Then he asked if I did art? Then asked if I had ever done pottery? And then said he saw me like a master potter. Wow! That totally wrecked me. He had no idea of the many steps it took to get me to my internship and this was the craziest confirmation. When you give God your Yes it means something great to HIM!
That word was such a confirmation of not only my time here at school but also my life. Shortly after graduation I was one of 200 volunteers that helped make the School of Creativity possible. The School of Creativity is a combination of workshop, experiences and a showcase of what is possible through being co creators with God. It had artist painting on stage, it had creative expressions in Dance, Drama, Video, Photography, Culinary and even Fashion. These expressions have become so good that people are commenting that they are like a Hollywood or broadway show. If this event is a sample of what I will be doing next year. It will be a BLAST!!
We never know how the road will lead us. And if we are willing and our hearts are open God can bring surprises into our path. This recently happened on one of my trips to the Bay Area. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time to see a friend/co-worker/classmate of mine who had flew from Taiwan for one day to preach for an interview. Not only was I able to be blessed by his preaching I was able to encourage him in the process. I am super excited to watch and see what God can and will do through Eric and Tina.
I am on the road again and will have more great adventures to share in the coming weeks. As Always, your prayers are welcome. Hey please feel free to message me or email me. I do like to stay in touch. Thank you soo much for partnering with me on this journey.
Love and Blessings to ALL!

Retailer reviews (amazon, newegg, etc. ) aren't always a direct indicator of the communties opinion as some people only post a review when there's a problem, which makes it a unreliable indicator of the performance of the majority of components. To counter this, I'd look at a few professional reviews form youtube, tom's hardware anandtech, but not LTT, or more specifically, the forums.
Other than that, I'm relatively active on the official PCPP Discord,
Here's my list of brands and their specific products I personally do a bit more research into than others for various reasons which could fill a book(Note different products will be separated IE if Cases and PSUS are deemed low quality they'd be listed separetly

Effective executive communication
How good would you say your company is at what it does? How high are the standards that it sets? Now be honest – do those responsible for communicating information about your organisation match those standards? Senior executives need to communicate with each other and with those above them. Do your high potentials know how senior executives think and can… Read more →

If a man causes the death of a fetus, he shall pay the woman's husband whatever the judges determine.
When we disagreed politically, Ammo patiently listened. This tolerance is truly incredible, and it is projected in his partnership with his youngsters, who have often expressed vary distinct opinions in their writings and political affiliations. These differences have been virtually theatrically expressed on Friday lunches when their entire household met. Those occasions, Ammo would smile, often interject with an opinion or just get up and serve us some tea.
I am fed up with misleading adverts for huge garments on normal sized models – what I want to see before I purchase some thing is what an individual like me would look like in the advertised clothes. And I'm not talking about a size 16 – I would like to see a model size 24 or more. And on diverse shapes, from huge breasts to wide waists and enormous hips, brief as effectively as tall. And fat clothing made by fat designers……….Yeah, that is what I'd like.
I guess my story is a bit different. I met my married man over 7 years ago. We were co-workers, there was an initial attraction until I saw his wedding band. I looked away. Then our job placed us in an environment that had us spending much more time than standard together. Lets contact this place…Iraq. There have been sparks, mostly flirting…a lot of curiosity on my part. I bear in mind asking why me…but what I meant to ask was why me to cheat with. Trust…I do not carry myself as desparate, lonely, low self esteem.
If you have any other questions really feel free to speak to me, also let me know how you get on in Saudi Arabia and how you place up with the Saudi Guidelines and Regulations. There are a quantity of hyperlinks in the section below you may like to discover which will give you a lot more information about Saudi and many a lot more comments. We've earned the badge of eclectic selection exactly where our wardrobe is concerned. If it truly feels great to put on it, I do. I am purging myself of also large clothes after a dietary modify brought me a slimmer body. Yea! It follows a plot a lot more widespread in romance novels about injured males, exactly where the bitter and angry paralyzed man chases off all the potential nurses/therapists/caretakers. I liked how Lane admitted to herself that she would not have contacted Will on her personal.

Top quality creative design services for CD covers & magazines
5 Crucial Tips for Magazine, Book, CD Design and large format printing on fabric or Vinyl
At Capital Exhibits, we pride ourselves on being one of the top online large format printing services on fabric, Vinyl, Mesh & Static Cling offering a full range of services that include magazine design, book creative design, and CD design. We can take any project and give you the tools to get it done perfectly, putting them right at your fingertips. Not only do we make the process easier and faster than ever before, we offer unmatched results in full color or black and white, depending on what you need. When you choose our company and put in your order, you know that you're going to adore the end result. Ask about our wholesale banner stands and rental trade show booths.
This is hugely important for media items like books, e-books, CDs and magazines. You know that the old adage says that it is never wise to judge a book by its cover; the reality is that people judge books—and other types of media—by their covers all of the time. If your cover does not draw them in, you're probably not going to make the sale. You have just a few seconds to sell them, and it is all up to the cover or the CD jacket.
The irony is that many artists put hours and hours into their craft. Some authors spend years editing their books, trying to get every word just right, but then they spend only a few hours on a cover and call it good. Here at Capital Exhibits, we know that won't work, and we are here to help, whether you want to work from a photo or with original artwork. To show you how, here are five of the most important tips from the print industry.
Make the Cover Match the Product
The cover art has to match the overall vibe of your book itself. This is why many literary works have calm, subdued covers, while thrillers utilize bright colors and dramatic images. If your book cover design does not match the content, readers are going to feel tricked.
Make People Want to Know More
The best thing that you can do is to produce a design that gets people to ask questions. It might be as simple as hinting at what an article in your magazine is about so that they have to find out more. When you can awaken someone's curiosity, they are more likely to pick up the item.
Stand Out
Yes, the top cd album design is going to be one that fits your genre, but it also has to stand out from the crowd. Remember, CDs are going to be sold alongside hundreds or thousands of other CDs. If everything looks the same, you're just depending on luck to get noticed.
Keep It Simple
With many designs, less is truly more. If things are too cluttered, they don't look good and people won't take the time to sort through all of the text and images. The top art book cover design is going to feature interesting images and short text that is to the point—perhaps just your name and the book's title.
Put in the Time
To get the best music CD cover, be prepared to scrap old designs. Do not fall so in love with them that you won't let any other artists tell you that changes are needed, because getting things right takes time and work.
Would you like to learn more about what we can do for you at Capital Exhibits, or do you want to get a price quote? You will see that our services are wholesale but not cheap, so our agency is both affordable and professional. Please call us today to ask any questions about getting your personalized projects started.

It's All Fun and Games at BEAU (on Wednesday Nights, at Least)
With so many tests, class assignments and other life responsibilities, sometimes students just need to let loose. For that matter, even non-students need the opportunity to unwind. That's the idea between BEAU's Game Night. Every Wednesday night at 7:30, students, teachers and community members get together and play games.
Game Night is all about getting together with other people who enjoy games of all types, having a good time, and building community, friendships and camaraderie. Anyone can attend and all abilities, interests and ages are welcome. Attempts will be made to accommodate every player or try and find a way to include them.
It's easy to fit in though, with every type of game being played. Whether it is video games, board games, card games, or table-top games, any and all types of games are encouraged and invited.
BEAU hosts game night because of the strong connection between games and the college. Game Night is a pure embodiment of what BEAU is. It's all about cooperation, collaboration, growth and fun. We're all here to learn and to grow from others, and from testing and pushing ourselves as well. What better way than to do so while collaborating with others and having a great time?
As board games continue to stay in popularity today, people will seek ways to come together in a causal environment. It's a chance to meet other people, have fun and test your wits in a relaxing yet engaging setting. With the constant rise of video and board games, BEAU hopes to carry on the tradition of Game Night.
We'd love to see it grow beyond all belief. More people, more involvement. We'd love to see ourselves as the host of pre-releases for games, video games, competitive card games, and grow beyond what even BEAU as a whole can support. BEAU could become the go-to game place on Wednesday nights. It would be great to work in conjunction with local game stores to build an ever-expanding sense of community and involvement with everyone around us.
Come join us! Call 801-300-4300 for more information.

for laughs:
Will Chunky be crowing about how badly Trump is doing in the polls this week? I guess not. 😆
Shaddap, Fatass. I mean, keep going. 😆
This is what passes for "clever" in Chunky's dim little brain these days. Mind you, he's not talking about real Taliban, which he used to call Islamofascists. He's referring to Christians. 😆
Gus spent much of the day Sunday re-fighting the Dem primaries with Berniebros. Seems kind of quaint, eh?
I think this attitude pretty much sums up what most guys feel, before they have their own kids. Then everything changes, and you do care about things like this. Unless you're a piece of shit. 😆
I remember when Charles was riding his bike and passed that scary Muslim kid and god scared. because all muslims are violent and dangerous.
right Charles? Remember that ?
He made a grumpy in his bike shorts. 😆

The mosque in my neighborhood is definitely spreading Wahhabist hatred; it's financed wholly by the Saudis and I believe it's the largest mosque in Los Angeles.
Read what I wrote in April 2001, when I had a very disquieting experience at this mosque, a sort of a omen of what was to come later that year:

I had a very strange, very creepy experience yesterday that I've been wondering how to write about. Instead of wondering any more, I think I'll just write.
There's an Islamic mosque in Culver City that was built under protest from local homeowners. It's actually a very beautiful marble building, with elaborate inscriptions that I believe are excerpts from the Koran.
Some of the people who visit this mosque, however, have the annoying and dangerous habit of hanging out in the street that passes by, paying no attention to the traffic. On the rare occasions when I drive past there I use extra care, because more than once there have been people in the road unexpectedly, sometimes in the dark of night.
So yesterday afternoon I was driving past the mosque when suddenly a man (mid-20s, mid-eastern) came walking very rapidly (almost running) out of the mosque driveway into the street without looking. I started to hit the brakes when he finally noticed me and stopped. It would have been very close if he hadn't looked up; I don't know if I could have stopped in time to avoid hitting him.
So I drove on past. Yes, it shook me up a little.
But not as much as looking into the rearview mirror and seeing this guy standing in a policeman's crouch, pantomiming firing a gun at me. In a way that suggested he had done it before. Two-handed, with a simulated recoil. And then continuing across the street with an air of total unconcern for the person he had just fantasized about murdering.
Of course he's racist. He's WHITE, isn't he???
/at least I understand their rules

I wonder what Fatass is more verklempt about, between the Trump Horror that is destroying this country while destroying itself with bad craziness, and the Climate Chaos OMFG? Or have the two merged into one massive tumor in his head by now?
LOL! So rich Olberdouche and Chunky predicting Trump's self destruction after spectacularly cratering their own careers.

Deja's kraft paper gocco'd invites
My dear friend Deja is getting married in (according to her count) 47 days. How do I know this? She tells me every time we talk. It's so cute. Plus her shower was on Saturday so I just got an update.
I helped her out with her pretty kraft paper invites and they are finally finished and mailed and in most people's hands. Which is so exciting. I love it sending a project off to it's final destination.
The little touch of gold ink really gussied them up, don't you think? I'm in love with gold on kraft at the moment.
We tied them up with black and white baker's twine and pretty vintage gold thread. Such a cute little package.
Next I think we're going to tea dye shipping tags for her escort cards. Yay.

The Seattle Times wrote this week that students at Seattle Pacific University 'lovingly refer' to their campus as the 'Bubble. "Usually," one student said, "the most exciting thing that happens around here is popcorn burning in the microwave." The June 5th murder of an SPU student, Paul Lee, and the wounding of two others tragically altered that reality.
I know the kind of campus. My college, North Park, in the heart of Chicago, was also a safe haven. One day while I was in the library, a woman came in who was obviously not a student. She sat near me, and was nervously looking around, trying to figure out what to do with her purse while she went to go look something up. I told her, "You can leave it. No one will take it." She looked surprised, but I knew I was right. As a history major, I had my own study carrel; I left stuff there for weeks on end–including special, primary sources borrowed from other libraries. No one ever tampered with the stuff.
Like North Park, SPU is a safe, warm, fun, supportive, urban community–an ideal place for my daughter and other students to stretch their thinking, explore options for their future, and mature in their faith. But, almost everyone associated with SPU has been hit hard in the days since the tragic shootings. The scary event is enough to burst anyone's 'bubble.' Yet, as a theology professor observed, SPU is in "grief, not despair."
The students' and faculty's hope in Christ is palpable. In the days following June 5th, prayer groups spontaneously erupted everywhere; worship services, large and small, took place, where the gunman was prayed for as well as the victims and their families; banners proclaiming faith and unity plaster the victim's dorm; artwork witnessing to Christ's love as well as the love between the students and the victims and their school plasters signs and sidewalks. Below, students at the dorm gather in a celebration of Paul Lee's life:
My daughter, Stephanie, who missed by 30 minutes being in the lobby where the gunman killed a student and seriously wounded another, said "Now we are those people"–the people seen all too often on TV clutching each other in grief and praying in small circles. A few days later, she wrote: "I can't believe the ways we are being loved this week!" Therapy dogs. Piglets and ponies. Cookies and strawberries and posters signed by hundreds of students at the school in Santa Barbara who experienced the same kind of pain only a few weeks ago. Security guards from other campuses in Seattle who volunteered their time at SPU to give SPU guards a break. The list could go on and on.
SPU's 'bubble' has not burst. It's been stretched and poked at, but if anything, it got bigger and encompasses more people than ever before.
Romans 5:5 says, "And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us."
Truly, the Holy Spirit has been present at Seattle Pacific University this past week.

They sound kind of ridiculous, I know, I know. I reported my progress on them, and was then a little embarrassed.
I was honestly not expecting much from these cupcakes; how does one have a cupcake without gluten forming the spongy backbone of it?
And the answer is, apparently, that you make do with a variety of other flours, all of which are readily available due to the existence of Bob's Red Mill, a local milling company that is pretty much every kind of cool you can imagine.
Adapted from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World
1 cup soy milk
1/3 cup canola oil
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup tapioca flour
2 tbsp ground flaxseed
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup white rice flour
1/2 cup quinoa flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp cardamom
1 tablespoon instant coffee
Preheat the oven to 350 and line the tins.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy milk, canola oil, sugar and vanilla extract, and whisk enough to combine. The original instructions say to use an electric mixer, but we all know how I feel about electric mixers (not positively, and for absolutely no discernible reason), so I say use a whisk.
Now, I almost attempted to sift all the flours together. Do not do this. The order in which you add the flours affects the texture of the cupcake, so add the tapioca and flax seed, and mix until the tapioca is dissolved and the mixture looks even.
This was also the stage I added the instant coffee crystals and cardamom. After all that is mixed in, add the cocoa powder, white rice flour, quinoa flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Mix for a long while. Since there is no gluten, we have no worries about over-mixing, but PLENTY of worries about getting an even suspension of all the weird flours we're using to get the right texture.
Fill the cupcake liners 3/4 of the way full. According to our cupcake oracles Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero, these little cakes won't rise as much as gluten-dependent cupcakes. This appears to be the case, since they were a little denser than the other cakes I've made from this book.
Anyhow, bake them for 20-23 minutes, and the normal rules of "cleanknifetoothpick" apply.
I decided not to frost them, because I didn't feel like making very much frosting.
I think that when I make these again, I'll want to replace some of the other flours with ground hazelnuts or almonds; while these cupcakes are good, I think they would really benefit from the texture that ground nuts seem to lend to cupcakes.

The Kansas City Star
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Hours before the Royals on Tuesday began the final home stand of this era of franchise history, general manager Dayton Moore sat in the modest fourth-level suite overlooking Kauffman Stadium.
As the architect of an overhaul that now will require a renovation, Moore could gaze over the field with deep appreciation of from where this organization rose to reach the pinnacle in 2015.
Even as Moore half-seriously joked he was trying to dance around the looming flux ahead, he was acutely conscious of the substantial changes that loom because of the economics of the game.
While it's unclear who will or won't be back among the key free agents, including four who were at the very core of a revival, it's understood that the Royals won't be able (or willing) to sign them all, and uncertain how any one deal might affect others.
Yet this was no sad scene for Moore.
For one thing, he has an abiding passion to recreate the thrill all over again — to the point where some in the organization believe he's more energized than ever.
And this time around he will start with the credibility and template and foundation beneath him that will make that pursuit far more feasible than the one he began virtually from scratch in 2006 — with barren resources and inadequate players and negative gravitational pull.
"You get excited for the next wave of players, the next generation," he said. "And you try to do it better, and you want to learn from your mistakes and raise the next generation of Royals.
"And so that's where our minds and our energies will soon (be directed), and it will be invigorating."
But frustrations of the last two seasons notwithstanding, Moore also is upbeat because he sees nothing to lament now … only things to cherish that will have enduring resonance.
"Many of these players were labeled as 'can't-miss' major league players," he said. "And we saw how they almost missed at times. And we wondered, even in the minor leagues, if they were going to reach their potential.
"And then they make it to the major leagues, and they have some success. And then there's some regression. Or they don't have success right away. Their stories are all different, but that's what makes baseball special.
"So it's very rewarding to see what everybody's accomplished. We'll always celebrate that. We'll forever remember."
At least in the near-term, it will be easier to remember ones who stay planted. But there will be many variables with each free agent, (Lorenzo Cain, Alcides Escobar, Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas and Jason Vargas), not to mention the cumulative complications.
For instance, there is a school of thought that Hosmer is the priority, perhaps the singular one.
But can the Royals both pay him what he'd want and compel him to stay with a rebuilding franchise when he could be playing for a winner?
Toward getting an initial sense of the landscape, Moore has already begun sitting down with players. He'll soon meet with some of their agents — as well as Royals owner David Glass and president Dan Glass, to discuss "economically where the payroll's going to be and where we project our revenues" and "what we can perhaps do as we go forward."
Which likely will be less than it's been lately.
"Let's face it, the last two years, we haven't made the playoffs, and we've had the highest payroll in the history of the Kansas City Royals … and it hasn't worked," Moore said. "So it's ultimately my responsibility to examine why and make better decisions going forward.
"But also there is an economic side of this, and I certainly don't want to be in the business of losing Mr. Glass a lot of money. That's the bottom line — (though) he's always been extremely supportive, he's a wonderful man to work with and to work for."
So all Moore, or any of us, can really know now is that autumn has arrived for these particular boys of summer.
And with that, it's a time to pause and bask in the seasons of life every one of us has shared somehow in this.
"We're all forever attached," Moore said.
He thought about getting to know the families of prospective players like Hosmer and Moustakas and others who became pillars of all that would unfold.
"We know their strengths, we know their weaknesses. We've watched them grow as men. We've watched (some of them begin) their lives in marriage and have children and become fathers," he said. "Along the way, it's very fulfilling. …
"And we've experienced the top of the mountain, and we've experienced the lows of the low — on the field and off the field."
Here, Moore thought of the death of Yordano Ventura in a car accident in the Dominican Republic on Jan. 22.
It has permeated him more in recent weeks, he said, calling it "the most powerful thing to happen to any us since I've been here. Not winning a world championship but just being a part of that tragedy and whatever way we felt to manage that personally.
"But we were all a part of that."
Moore doesn't mean just people in the organization when he says this.
He means everyone who loves the Royals and in the area, really, where he came in 2006 thinking, "I'd rather win one year in Kansas City than have the opportunity to win every single year in some of these other markets."
Achieving that was part of why this group will never really be gone, why out of sight won't be out of mind — and why Moore can only wish them all well wherever they end up.
"We want what's best for our players, and whether this group remains in Kansas City or a portion of them remain in Kansas City or they go on to play for another team, we still get to follow then, we still get to embrace what they do and celebrate what they do going forward," he said. "And we have several of these players, you know full well they will be in the Royals Hall of Fame at some point in time."
But it's not just that you won't forget them — and any number of players will attest to this.
"When you begin your career in a certain place … and then have the type of success that they've had and enjoyed and the types of relationships that they have with one another, the coaching staff, the front office, the media, the fans, it's the most special thing that they'll ever experience professionally," Moore said "They'll never forget that. They'll always have Kansas City first in their hearts, and I guarantee you they'll prove that as their careers continue."
He added, "When you make yourself a part of somebody else's lives, somebody else's life, it makes the journey much more fulfilling, doesn't it?"

Seventh Annual May Conference

Halloween is a holiday that our family started celebrating rather on accident. We didn't have any plans to make it a yearly celebration, (although we didn't have any plans the other way, either) but it's one of those holidays that once you start celebrating it with children, it's hard to stop. One of the reasons we were originally not so interested in celebrating it is because of the candy/sugar. We couldn't think of a way to get around it. Then the perfect solution for our family came to us - the Halloween Fairy. I would love to give credit where it's due for the idea but, for the life of me, I just can not remember who/where we got it from . It's so simple and sweet. It works really well, too...at least for now while they are still in early childhood. (Halloween from the past here, here, and here) This is what our family does:
Since trick or treating begins after the girls bedtime we keep it short. We have an early dinner, the girls get in their costumes and we go out for about a half hour. That is just the right amount of time for them. (and for the rest of us!) This year we did something a bit more fun. After our half hour, we stopped at our special neighbor's house (remember the ones I gushed about a few times before? The one who might end up being K's first grade teacher???) to end the night. That was more exciting to the girls than all the trick or treating they previously did. We chatted with them for a bit and the girls even received something they could actually eat from them (honey straws), then we went home.
There was a bowl on the kitchen table waiting for the girls' candy. The girls looked through it for something they could keep, but, alas there was nothing. Then one by one they placed their candy pieces in to the bowl. Once every last piece was in there, we put the bowl in the center of the table for the Halloween Fairy to find.
We then did our usual bedtime rhythm and the girls went to bed. While they slept the Halloween Fairy, ahem - Kevin and I, gathered up the candy and brought it downstairs for Kevin to hide in his bag until he could bring it to work. Of course we both ate a few pieces. I always need to eat a bit of candy this time of year to remind myself that I really just don't like the taste of it anymore.
When the girls woke up the next morning (always earlier than usual, out of pure excitement) the bowl once filled with candy was now filled with treasures for them, instead. We try not to overdue it and give them too much, instead we want it to be just enough handmade goodness that's worth giving up their candy for. This year the Halloween Fairy was very grateful for handmade help from others. The girls received some honey straws, stickers, the sweetest sheep set from Little Wool (oh my goodness are they sweet! Even cuter than the pictures could show), and beautiful handmade notebooks from Frost Lane. The girls really enjoyed their gifts and they really inspired them, as you can see!
We enjoy this tradition, and I hope it can last quite a while.K seems to be the most excited over the Halloween Fairy. She even dressed as her for Halloween this year. Every year, the day after Halloween she likes to leave a note on our nature table for the Halloween Fairy. She asks the fairies that visit our house to bring it to her. It is just a small, simple note saying thanks, but oh how huge that gratitude is to this
Please remember - this is just our family rhythm and what works for us at the moment. This isn't meant to be hard and fast rules on how rhythm should go in every one or any one's homes. I just thought to share it because I receive quite a few e-mails asking about our home rhythm, and I also just wanted it documented for myself so that I may remember these times when they are older and/or on to another rhythm.
Thank you, again, for joining me in the rhythm fun! Here is the linky list. If you have a (new or old) link you would like to share about your family rhythm, please enter it below so that we all may see. Then please link back here in your post. I look forward to seeing your inspiration!
Thanks friends!

Indian Film Industry To Punish
Pirates Paying Customers With 3-Month Film Release Boycott
from the baby,-bathwater deptAs we've noted countless times, diminishing the impact of piracy isn't exactly rocket science. Give consumers what they want at a reasonable price, and more often than not you'll be able to minimize piracy's impact on your business model. But as we've seen just as often, that logic is a bridge too far for many entertainment industry executives, who've relentlessly instituted all manner of more "creative" solutions to try and retain legacy power in shifting markets. Why give consumers what they want when you can insult, cajole, sue and otherwise harass your paying customers, then blame everything but your own rigid thinking?
The latest ingenious solution comes courtesy of India's Tamil Film Producer's Council (TFPC), which is considering a plan to stop releasing movies entirely in the misguided belief that this is going to somehow stop people from pirating. Apparently, the logic goes, if you stop releasing films for three months, the lack of things to pirate (ignoring a century of previous content, of course) will magically stop piracy forever! Ingenious!:
"Piracy will automatically stop when there's no content. When we stop film releases, say for three months, the movie pirates will go out of business. We are looking into this option because film producers have suffered heavily in the last 24 months," (said) Kalaipuli S Thanu, TFPC president."One, there's just a blistering amount of hubris involved in believing that you can turn an entire culture's art creation on and off like some kind of spigot. Like they were scolding a kitten, you'll recall the RIAA often used to state that if people didn't stop pirating content, creators would just stop making music -- as if the business side of the equation could simply wipe all art creation from the face of the earth. That some still think they can unilaterally stop art creation as a "punishment" for piracy perfectly exemplifies the distorted thinking responsible for the global entertainment industry's ongoing struggles.
Two, the report notes that just a three-month ban on film production would impact the release of some 36 Indian films, which would then be harmed by the fact that they'd be shoveled in a more crowded release window. In addition to harming content creators, TFPC can't apparently understand that stopping the release of all films hurts its paying customers. Local filmmaker "Cheran" has a different suggested course of action, involving crazy concepts like modifying release windows and (gasp) lowering prices:
"If original DVD of a new film is available for Rs.50, why would anyone think of buying a pirated copy?" (asked Indian Filmmaker Cheran. "We all know the quality of pirated prints. I've sold nearly Rs.10 lakh (or around $16,800) DVDs of my film in the first two days," he said."I don't mind if one person buys and shows it to his entire family. As long as people don't watch pirated version of any film, I'm happy to release my films on DVD. Most households today have access to digital TV, so new films can be released via direct-to-home medium as well," he added."Hopefully somebody at the TFPC hears Cheran's outlandish suggestions above the din of indignant entitlement.

Platforma have supported us with a bursary for one of the team to attend and speak at the November 2015 Platforma conference in Leicester. They have also supported us with funds in 2016 towards engaging more refugee artists and individuals attending our events. We are planning more projects including a music and dance project in conjunction wth Dmacuk. We hope that the quality and diversity of the work presented within the Platforma project will encourage new audiences to relate more closely and empathetically to the experiences of refugees.
Coexist is a social enterprise, setup as a community interest company based on a philosophy of open hearted and active engagement. They believe that the successful and much needed regeneration of our community is sustainable only if the growth is organic and from the bottom up!

They also offer free hire to Bristol Wow women of the world for the monthly meetings and a number of free weeks hire for exhibitions.

Impermanence Dance Theatre
We have partnered with Alessandro Marzotto Levy of Impermanence Dance Theatre to bring Refugees together to share stories and experiences. The sessions were held at Hamilton House where dialogues and words were translated into dance movement. This was an enriching journey of discovery for all involved.
Theatre Bristol

They offer bespoke advice and support to artists and producers; commission and produce new work; run events (networking, inspiration, action planning); host a user-generated website; research new ways of working and develop national and international exchange opportunities. Theatre Bristol worked with us to offer a bursary place to our summer school this August. They wanted to give an opportunity to a Bristol based dance artist who had never attended the summer school and had an interest in increasing their knowledge of different cultural dance forms.

Alleged perpetrator must be interviewed or attempts made under Bill.
Under the PA House Bill, efforts are to be made to interview the alleged suspect of a child abuse. These efforts, while laudable, will run afoul of an individual's Constitutional protections to remain silent, have counsel present during state questioning, and not to incriminate oneself.
House Bill 433 deems that a child abuse investigation must include interviews with all the subjects of the report, including the alleged perpetrator. If a subject cannot be interviewed, reasonable efforts to interview the subject and the reasons for the inability to do so must be documented. An indicated report of child abuse must be approved by the county children and youth administrator, or a designee, and the agency's solicitor.
Don't permit yourself to be interviewed by district attorneys, police, detectives, children and youth workers, doctors, child interview specialists, nurses, or any other group of mandated reporters that have an obligation to provide your statement in aid of an investigation and prosecution. You have a right to an attorney, to remain silent, and not to incriminate yourself. Most, if not all, successful child abuse/sex investigations and prosecutions require one or more of the following:
- physical corroboration of the crime;
- consistent statements from the victim; and
- an admission or partial admission from the suspect.
If you're being investigated for a child abuse/sex crime, contact experienced counsel immediately. We can intervene for you with the police and discuss alternatives to arrest. We can arrange for you to have your own private lie detector test performed. You have options that the police are not going to tell you about. Call Shaffer & Engle Law Offices, LLC (717) 268-4287.

The L house resides in the bountiful meadows of Burgenland, Austria where it seeks to become a part of it, but stands out as a one-of-a-kind structure brimming with distinction and ingenuity. The dramatic and linear skeleton of its shape merges into the sweeping hills allowing the surrounding views to be the top spectacle of the region. Architect Collective designed the entrance as a cantilevered floor plate at the end of the lower level foyer. The way the home was arranged creates a fine line between the living and sleeping areas while visually enhancing the space. The upper level's kitchen, living and dining rooms are bordered with terraces overlooking the landscape. The changing weather and powerful sun are shielded from the unified roof that extends into deep overhangs that protects the outdoor balconies. Triple paneled windows prevent heat loss and illuminate the entire expanse of the residence.

I would like to implement validation of the parameters that are given in the command line, for example when someone inputs bu.sh -m 11 12, notice how there are two numbers there? It will only notice the first one. And then if I do bu.sh -m 11 12 -y 1992, the script won't even realize the -y is there, because I assume it stops reading after it sees that 12 there.
Anyway, here's the code.

My Story: Help Me Build Schools and Futures
Having grown up in an impoverished communist country with food and water rations, electricity shortages, and a pervasive lack of freedom, the options of what I can do and become were limited. But despite all the challenges and hardships, I consider myself very lucky. I was blessed with a loving family and I had the opportunity to go to school and learn how to read and write.
Me in kindergarten in Romania. We are all wearing national folk costumes. 🙂
My father taught me how to play chess when I was 4 years old. Chess has been an important part of my life. I played the game competitively throughout my childhood and teenage years. This is me playing in a chess tournament in 1989. I love this beautiful sport with every beat of my heart.
When I immigrated to America, my eyes were opened to the opportunities and possibilities that I never knew existed growing up in Romania. I enrolled in college and had access to the right tools that would enable me to build a better future for me and my family. Now, that I am in a better position, I want to spend as much time giving back as possible. Since I moved to United States I have volunteered with great organizations like Team For Kids, New York Cares, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Autism Speaks and New York City Service for Hurricane Sandy relief. But, I always wanted to do more.
I am extremely passionate about education and literacy. Education is a human right. It has the power to transform lives, to lift communities out of poverty, and to protect families from the hazards of labor exploitation and disease. It is a fundamental building block that gives children the knowledge, skills, and confidence to reach their full potential. I made education my priority to give back.
My dream is to build schools in developing countries. ❤
In my quest to find the right organization that would offer me a platform to achieve this, I came across buildOn. I fell in love with their work and their commitment to changing people's lives in both United States and around the world. I decided to contact them and use them as a platform to achieve my dream of building schools.
To raise money, I will run marathons across America and all over the world. I will also run a marathon on each continent – 7 marathons on 7 continents! So far I have raised over $35,000 from more than 135 donors!! ❤
My 7 marathons on 7 continents schedule
You have been so supportive all this time, but now, I am asking you to be part of something even BIGGER. Together, we can build futures and change lives! Please click the link below and donate what you can. It is easy, fast and secure. Your generosity and support is greatly appreciated. ❤
Below are all the races I ran in the last 5 years. They helped me raise money to fund 3 schools in Nepal (groundbreaking in 2016), Senegal (2017), Burkina Faso (2018).
My goal is to build few more schools in Malawi, Haiti, Guatemala, Mali and Nicaragua.

July has arrived! We are down at Holden Beach enjoying the sun, when the clouds allow it anyway. It is officially summer, you can tell by the heat and random storms, but I am thrilled to spend 4 whole days down here since Brad has Monday off. From our family to yours…Happy 4th of July!
We are really excited to celebrate the 4th at the July Market! The indoor vendors will be donating money to the SEMPER FI FUND and we will also have a basket to raffle off with the proceeds going to them as well! So even though we are going to be 10 days late, wear your Red, White and Blue and help us thank and give back to Military Families by donating to this awesome organization!
SSM is very glad to have two new fabulous women joining the Good Vibe Tribe! Mosaic Glass Artist, Frances LeRoy, will have her beautiful pieces available at Seaglass starting at the July Market and Tea Lady Diane will also be joining us, and educating us about her Tealightful Teas! As these two lovely ladies join us, we say good-bye to Mike Kinzie of Kinzie Krafts…but we know he will pop in from time to time and we are so grateful for the friendships made during his time with us, he really will be missed. (He is still available for custom work and commisions!)
We have an awesome line up starting for the outdoor vendors. Food Trucks are planned for each day, Snowies of the Carolinas will be joining us on Saturday as will Cape Fear Parrot Sanctuary!

Advocates have rallied to oppose the bill, arguing the new provisions will prevent the most vulnerable from accessing shelter. A fact sheet from Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless and a Washington Post story examine the issues in greater depth.
Committee chair Tommy Wells (Ward 6) did not back down from his insistence that protecting limited resources for District residents is essential. In fact, his prepared opening remarks noted this:
The Homeless Services Reform Amendment Act of 2010 will allow the Department of Human Services to focus District resources on District residents and better manage capacity in homeless shelters.
I will emphasize that given the current waitlist for homeless services, there are no cost savings under this Bill and none have been certified by the CFO. Rather, the Bill allows the District to focus taxpayer dollars on District residents.
The fight is not over; we can expect opponents to continue their advocacy with other members of the Council. We can also expect CM Wells to continue his challenge to the public to identify ways for the city to preserve services for residents and to identify real ways to cut funding to deal with the $500 million budget problem.

Holi Hai! An Indian holiday greets spring with showers of color
All is quiet in the village square. A soft breeze blows, gently caressing the plants in the windowsills, slightly quivering the hanging clotheslines. The sun is bright and hot, almost unbearably so. Not one person is to be found —all sound is faint, all movement nonexistent. That is, until the jubilant cry travels through the streets: "Holi Hai!"
Out springs the flock, clad in white, armed with fistfuls of colors. The people race toward each other with glee, smearing paints and powders of every imaginable hue onto each other's faces. As they play on, the air becomes misty with faint tints of the tossed colors, covering the carefree participants in a lustrous mist.
So begins Holi, a euphoric spring greeting captured in vibrant Technicolor. Each year on the day following March's Purnima (full moon), friends and family come together to welcome the new season, celebrate the triumph of good over evil and most importantly, share a longstanding tradition of love and affection with their community. While this iridescent festival is an ancient staple of the Hindu tradition, it has long enraptured the imaginations of citizens all over the world.
A Colorful History
Holi has a rich cultural background. Mentioned within the pages of ancient Sanskrit literature, defining practices of the festival have been documented as far back as the fourth century. Holi is now regarded as a global festival, and traces of its customs can be found in popular events such as the Color Run.
The central concept of Holi stems from Indian mythology. The roots of the holiday are based from the tale of King Hiranyakashipu, a malicious demon king who ruled the city of Multan, Punjab. Hiranyakashipu, immersed in supreme power, demanded the complete worship of his subjects. The kingdom's sole dissenter was his son, Prahlada, who had pledged himself to the divine deity Lord Vishnu. Enraged by this, Hiranyakashipu asked his sister, Holika, to kill Prahlada. Holika attempted to lead Prahlada into a burning pyre, but Vishnu intervened and protected Prahlada, leaving the evil Holika to burn to death.
The tale, while macabre, symbolizes the victory of our purest self.
"All of the demons of the legends represent our ego and our sins," explained Panditji Srihari Kadambi, a priest at the Bharatiya Temple of Lansing. "Holika represents our bad attitudes, and our holiday celebrates the burning out of our bad desires."
Lansing's Little Holi
Holi is an especially popular holiday in Lansing. The Bharatiya Temple hosts the area's most prominent Holi festivities.
"We have been celebrating [Holi] here in our temple every year for the past 15-20 years," said Mathi Ramachandran, president of the Bharatiya Temple's board of directors. "We usually get around 200 people at each of our functions. But you cannot count that number now, for our community is growing every year."
The Bharatiya Temple tends to celebrate Holi in the traditional manner. On the first morning of spring, known as Basant Ritu, devotees from all over the state gather inside the temple for a havan, or small fire, to signify Holika Dahan (the death of Holika). After chanting mantras around the fire, the devotees regroup outside to merrily splash each other with heaps of color. Panditji Kadambi prefers "dry Holi" — using powders instead of paints and colored water.
For this year's festival, Ramachandran plans on going bigger. He wants to cover the floors and walls of the temple with white sheets so that participants can safely play inside without ruining the temple's decor. Ramachandran is also considering extending the celebration to two nights, as per traditional Hindu custom. The first night would exclusively feature the havan, and the next day would be dedicated to the merriment.
The temple has further expanded their outreach efforts within the region, inviting all locals interested in the holiday.
"We have now started involving MSU students. We reach out to different MSU student unions by sending out mail and distributing our information to them," explained Ramachandran. "Lansing also has many organizations here, like the Telegu Association and the Tamil Association. They're based in the southern part of India, so they don't really celebrate Holi. Still, if we talk to them, they will participate with us."
Rainbow Connection
While Holi is primarily a staple of northern India, it is by no means an exclusive festivity. Rather, it is a joyous call for harmony.
"Holi is very much rooted in Hinduism. But at the same time, during moments of conflict — particularly religious conflict — it has become a symbol of unity," explained Soma Chaudhuri, a professor in the MSU College of Social Science. "People of all religions come together to play Holi. It has this universal message of love and celebration."
At its core, Holi is an invitation to disregard all temporal differences and welcome the season with unabashed joy. Ramachandran emphasized the power of Holi as a beacon of positivity.
"Sometimes we call it the festival of the sharing of love. We gather, meet, forgive, forget, make friendships, build broken bridges and be happy."
Rohan Kulkarni, a freshman computer science major, looks forward to reuniting with loved ones during the holiday.
"My favorite part about Holi is getting together with all the people I haven't seen in awhile," he said. "It's a good excuse to get the family together."
Rohan also anticipates the holiday as a harbinger of the seasonal shift.
"It's the start of good weather," he said. "You can start having fun and doing things outside again."
If you're looking for a fun, fresh way to embrace spring, consider joining your friends or your local temple in celebrating Holi this month. This year, Holi falls on March 12-13. Feel free to revel in the colorful ceremonies while embracing the diversity and culture of your local community.

InsideEvs reports that, finally, we can see the growth in German EVs market again and this Electric rEVolution is for real. The slowdown in sales was due to the new incentives for electric cars introduced in June of this year. Another problem is that the best-selling electric cars are Tesla Model S and X, BMW i3 and Renault Zoe. We do not have the best affordable electric cars in Europe yet. All automakers are now horrified by losing the luxury sedans market to Tesla Model S and can see the writing on the wall: they will be toasted by cheaper electric cars very soon. German ban on all sales of the new diesel and gas powered cars by 2030 seems to be more and more coming reality and now Mercedes and Volkswagen will have to follow BMW seriously with the roll out of dozens of electric cars.
This year we will have another boost in EVs sales with BMW i3 improved range, Renault Zoe coming with 400 km range and Opel Ampera-e with 500 km range. Fast charging networks for electric cars are being built all across Europe. All automakers are busy now sourcing the best lithium batteries available and Lithium Batteries Megafactories are rising in Europe following aggressive moves from Tesla and Chinese EV batteries makers. Security of lithium supply becomes the basis for this Electric rEVolution. Below are chronicles of the Electric rEVolution happening finally in Germany.
Augen auf beim Lithium-Explorer-Kauf!
"Ganfeng exports and produces over 20 unique lithium products.In addition, it has developed an innovative patented technology that significantly shortens the standard production process. To support their expanding global operations, Ganfeng has taken steps to secure its future supply by investing heavily in a Canadian company called International Lithium Corp (TSX.V: ILC)." Peter Cole.
Electric rEVolution: German Push To Ban Combustion-Engine Cars By 2030 Wins Support After DieselGate.
"Now we can put the electric cars party taking over at Paris Motor Show in the perspective. Germany would like to join Netherland and Norway banning sales of ICE cars from 2030. It means that now they will have to make electric cars and all that news about dozens electric cars coming in the next 10 years are getting more credibility. Lithium Battery makers are already moving into Europe: Mercedes, LG Chem, A123, BMZ and Volkswagen have all announced Lithium Megafactories in the making and security of lithium supply will be coming on the European investors' radar screens very soon. Read more."
Lithium Race: Is This The All-Electric BMW i5?
AutoGuide reports on its findings of how the all-electric BMW i5 can look. Mercedes have made a lot of headlines recently with its new EQ electric brand and 10 electric cars coming by 2025. Volkswagen, after its best DieselGate advertisement campaign for electric cars, promises to be good and to deliver 30 electric cars - if they survive the tide of litigation including $9 Billion in lawsuits from its own investors. Lithium technology is here, but it is still more talk than best electric cars we can buy. GM Bolt will change it this year and Tesla Model 3 will ignite the race in the West later. We need millions of electric cars ASAP and BMW i5 will be welcomed to the EV Team. BMW must make a bold move now just to stay relevant as Tesla Model S is already outselling Mercedes S-Class and BMW 7. They have just a few short years to deliver before China will start making EVs capable of earning respect in the West. There are 25 companies which are making 51 models of EVs already in China with 200 developing 4,000 new EV models. They are not Teslas yet but getting there very fast.
"Markets will be up and down, companies will come and go, but we are witnessing the historic moment of coming out of ICE-age in our transportation. We are talking here about the disruption of $4 trillion transportation industry based on Lithium Technology. Now it is time to check out where all this lithium will be coming from. And the answer: "From Panasonic" - will be better than: "From the underneath of Tesla Gigafactory in Nevada", but still the same like if electricity is coming just from the socket in your wall. Read more."
Lithium Race: Electric Cars Available Today And Coming In The West Vs China's 51 EVs You Can Buy Now.
"This picture above summarises very well the state of lithium race in the West now. We are missing a few electric cars which you can buy in Europe for the full picture like Renault, Electric Mercedes B-Class and Electric Smart. But the general picture is right. We are moving into the fast lane for EVs mass market with the first two electric cars priced below $40k and with over 200 miles range: Chevy Bolt and Tesla Model 3. The big tide is coming, but progress was very slow before this year - we need millions of electric cars and very fast now. People are ready to buy the best EVs. Now we can compare this picture with China which is selling this year more than double amount of electric cars than the US and Europe. They are not Teslas yet, but in China 25 companies are making 51 models of EVs today and 200 are developing another 4,000 EV models! When will Apple make its mind finally and change this new EV world overnight? I expect that this year we will reach a tipping point of 1,000,000 electric cars sold in the world in one year! Lithium is the magic metal at the very heart of this rEVolution and below you can find who is feeding this Switch. Read more."
Lithium Race: Daimler To Make More Than 10 Electric Cars By 2025.
"Finally, great Germans are talking about electric cars seriously. Daimler is going to leave DieselGate behind in the dust and produce 10 electric cars by 2025 reaching the goal of 15-25 percent of sales overall. I do hope that they are seriously serious this time - I have seen all those beautiful prototypes in 2009 already. Instead, after spending billions of dollars on hydrogen they all have chosen "Clean Diesel. " We are all trying to clean that mess now from our streets.
Volkswagen can lead by example now: if the company can survive all billions of dollars claimed in hundreds of lawsuits - "they are going to make millions of electric cars as well." I do really hope that they can all change - so far Elon Musk was taking on all those monsters of cancer hazard diesel pollution in the West in a very small team with Nissan-Renault and GM. China has managed to build EV industry from scratch and is now the leading electric cars manufacturing nation with sales approaching 500,000 this year. Hopefully, we will be celebrating 1,000,000 EVs sold worldwide during 2016 in December. Daimler is better to hurry before they will become totally irrelevant. Tesla Model S has already outsold Mercedes Class S last year! Read more."
After several months of confusion surrounding a new plug-in vehicle incentive program over the Summer, Germany finally woke up and noted some serious plug-in car sales growth.
In fact, September was second best month on record, with 3,061of new registrations (up 56% year-over-year), giving plug-ins a market share past the magic 1% number (1.03%)!
More importantly, both types of plug-ins are growing:
- BEVs – 1,641 (up 77% year-over-year)
- PHEVs – 1,42 (up 37% year-over-year)
Four main factors could be mentioned behind the growth:
- new incentives,
- start of volume deliveries of longer-range BMW i3,
- the beginning of Model X deliveries
- …and the always nefarious "late-in-the-year-EU-emission-dance" with the Kia Soul EV – a process that sees the model registered in Germany for benefit (lowering) of the company's fleet CO2 numbers, then turned around and sold outside the EU.
We note 418 sales for Kia in September, after 439 for the entire year…but maybe there was just a big rush at year's end. Again.
Tesla in general should be happy with the results in September with 200 Model S and 177 Model X registrations during the month, which put it ahead of most brands offering plug-ins.
Also the 279 Renault ZOEs sold continues to be a great result for the brand, because with 2,115 registrations YTD, the all-electric Renault is the most popular plug-in for Germany.
But the biggest splash overall was made by the BMW i3 with its new longer-range version arriving on the market. A record of 511units were registered, including 291 BEVs and 220 REx models.
It will be great to see how German market expands with reinforcements from the new 41 kWh/400km (NEDC) Renault ZOE Z.E. 40.

SS Adelfotis seen as former Cape St Columba. Photo. www.uboat.net
Built 1917
Tonnage: 5,838 / 9,150 dwt
Cargo: 6,785 tons of linseed.
Sunk 01/05/1943 By U-182 in position 03º 32S 21º 33W
1 Dead
38 Survivors
At 14.50 hours on 1 May 1943 the unescorted Adelfotis (Master Elias Lyras) was hit on the port side by two torpedoes from U-182 while steaming on a non-evasive course at 8 knots about 540 miles southeast of St. Peter and St. Paul Rocks. The torpedoes were spotted too late to take evasive action and struck in #1 hold and between #3 and #4 holds. The crew immediately abandoned ship in three lifeboats, but one of the British gunners (the ship was armed with one 76mm Breda gun and two machine guns) fell overboard and drowned.
Two crew members had been slightly injured by debris. The vessel took a heavy list to port after the port boiler exploded, but still remained afloat. The U-boat then surfaced and began shelling the wreck from a distance of about 400 yards at 15.20 hours. Three or four of the eight rounds fired hit and caused her to sink at 15.45 hours. The Germans then questioned the survivors, filmed them and took the master as prisoner aboard, who was lost when the U-boat was sunk two weeks later.
On 8 May, 19 survivors in two lifeboats were fished out by Brazilian submarine Chaser Jaguaribe CS-56 in pos. 03º 20"S 21º 32"W and landed them at Fernando de Noronha Island. They were flown to Recife by Brazilian aircraft on 14 May. 18 occupants in the boat in charge of the chief officer made landfall at Pitangui near Natal on 12 May.
