Jaguar Land Rover to Ditch Diesels for Electrified Powertrains
【Summary】As part of an investor presentation, Jaguar Land Rover revealed that it would be investing $18 billion into electrification. That's on top of the $14 billion that JLR has already spent.
Volkswagen's ongoing diesel scandal continues to develop with Audi's CEO Rupert Stadler being arrested in Germany recently. The German automaker's scandal has painted diesels in a negative light around the world, which has caused a lot of automakers to make the switch to electric vehicles.
While electric cars were frowned upon before, advancements in range, charging times, and price have made them viable options to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. Now that EVs are getting good and consumers are moving towards battery-powered machines, every automaker is switching gears to electrify their entire lineup.
$32 Billion Investment Into EVs
Jaguar Land Rover, which only has one electric vehicle to its name with the Jaguar I-Pace, recently stated hat it plans to invest approximately $18 billion into the electrification of its vehicles over the next three years. That's on top of what the automaker has already spent, which is $14 billion, over the past 36 months.
The massive investment, as Bloomberg reports, will allow Jaguar Land Rover to make three different versions of all of its vehicles by 2025. The three variants will probably include a gas-only model, a battery-powered version, and a variant that combines the first two – like a plug-in hybrid. While that's the plan, Jaguar Land Rover also stated that it would only build fully electric vehicles if there was enough demand for them.
Some of the money will go into retooling its six manufacturing platforms in the UK for the switch to electrified platforms. Other portions of the funds will go towards opening a software, information technology and engineering center in Manchester. That facility will focus on developing connected-car technology.
Why The Sudden Change In Heart?
Making the switch from diesels to electric vehicles is a big one for Jaguar Land Rover as approximately 87 percent of its automotive sales came from oil burners in the fourth quarter of 2017. With Volkswagen's emissions scandal sending a ripple throughout the entire industry, things haven't gone as well as Jaguar Land Rover has hoped with its diesels.
The automaker stated that its revenue from this year "did not grow as much as we planned" because of the lack of diesel sales. Jaguar Land Rover is hoping to switch gears before it's too late. Some countries are planning to completely ban diesels, so having a plan in place to replace them with something that consumers can actually purchase and drive is important.
Previously, Jaguar Land Rover claimed that it wanted to offer an electrified variant of every one of its vehicles by 2020. That, though, could have referred to just hybrids. For an automaker that only has a few electrified vehicles to its name, coming out with an ambitious goal to add a large amount of EVs seems like an impossible task. But Jaguar Land Rover has gotten a large amount of demand for its first electric vehicle that's right around the corner, the I-Pace.
If anything, Tesla has shown the world that demand for electric vehicles is there. It's up to automakers like Jaguar Land Rover to find out what customers want and to deliver it to them. That, though, is easier said than done.

Dana AlZaraaI Strongly recommend thisAugust 17, 2016I absolutely love these gauze pads @@
First, the smell is to die for .
Second, both the manual and chemical exfoliation is gentle enough to not hurt my skin but effective at removing dead skin cells as well as any makeup I may have missed during the cleansing process.
I've been using these once a week and that seems to be enough. I also feel like the smaller blemishes on my face clear up much more quickly than before.
april labradorSubtle peelOctober 10, 2019I cut the mask into two because it is already enough to use for my face.love it my skin feels renewed with continuous use.
Quanideal for skin brighteningSeptember 13, 2018this exfoliator removes dead skin cells thoroughly and brightens up my skin! and the idea is so innovative
NoelleAmazing!December 11, 2019These peeling pads are great! I use these after toner to gently buff away dry skin and it works like a charm! It doesnt dry it out further which is super important, as I have dehydrated skin. I feel my skin smoothen out instantly and I've noticed its helping some of my dark marks dissapear from acne flare-ups. Would definitely reccomend these~
lilmz93...So far so goodDecember 11, 2019I've wanted to try this for so long but I couldn't justify spending £31 for 30, especially as I don't really keep up with my skin care regime but decided to see if there were any other stores that sell it cheaper perhaps hoping id6find an alternative and I happened to come across yesstyle who have it for almost 30% cheaper than UK. Saw the reviews they were very positive to I took a risk. You're supposed to use the pads after cleansing your skin, please follow the instructions. It says you can use it 2 times a week, I usually do it once or every other week, as A) I'm lazy with my skin care and B) I personally don't think my skin needs it. This is supposed to help exfoliate, brighten complexion and improve the skin texture. I've added a before and after of using this without a face filter so you can see it has definitely brightened my complexion the rest only time will tell so far I'm impressed.
Zaimah ZainiLove itJanuary 28, 2020Like other people says, its good to cut the pad into half as it is big sheet for (my) small face. I feel so fresh after using this. though its drying and you may want to apply moisturizer after that.
Stefania Maria NicitaLoveJuly 7, 2016I would recommend this product to everyone who loves an exfoliant. I also have the wine version and love that one as well, that one i keep refridgerated. I do think i like the lemon one slightly more.

Methadone treatment is very effective at curbing the desire to use opioids. Methadone acts as an opioid blocker in the brain, which makes quitting drug addiction easier. Methadone is a drug itself and can also possibly be addictive, however quitting without methadone is much harder. Methadone-based treatment in the state of Colorado can have a success rate of up to 90%.
Methadone treatment has been approved by the FDA from 1947 for its original use as an analgesic, and in 1972 was approved for treating opioid addictions. Suboxone, a similar opioid blocker which is a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone that is often used as an alternative to methadone, has been approved by the FDA from 2002 for treating drug addiction.
A methadone clinic in Boulder will provide methadone treatment to treat substance abuse. In addition, most clinics in Colorado include services like mental health therapies, individual, group and family counseling, referral to social services where needed, referral to legal services if necessary, on-site housing if the facility is an inpatient (residential) facility, dual diagnosis treatment, drug detox and other rehab services.
The length of time for methadone treatment will vary based on the individual. For those who have been addicted to drugs for a very long time, quitting will take substantially longer than for individuals who have recently become addicted. In general, a methadone clinic will provide treatment from several weeks to months (for inpatient clinics) in order to completely cure the existing addiction.
Methadone can provide treatment for addiction to prescription opioids, synthetic opioids and illegal opioids that include fentanyl, codeine, cocaine, heroin, OxyContin, Vicodin, morphine, LSD, Kratom and other drugs such as marijuana or synthetic cannabinoids.

Humidifiers Decrease Levels of Flu Virus in Homes
A medicated inhalant may also be added to the steam vapor to assist cut back coughs. Vaporizers could also be more healthy than cool mist types of humidifiers as a result of steam is less more likely to convey mineral impurities or microorganisms from the standing water within the reservoir. However, boiling water requires significantly more energy than different strategies. The heat supply in poorly designed humidifiers can overheat, causing the product to soften, leak, and start fires.
Rather than depending on a humidifier to lower the room temperature, a fan or an air conditioner would be a way more efficient tool. Unlike cool mist humidifiers, you possibly can actually see the nice and cozy, soothing mist this design creates. Slightly louder than ultrasonic options, this warm mist humidifier heats the air to create a steam-like vapor in medium-sized rooms for up to 24 hours.
As the plate vibration pace increased, the water droplets will be unable to carry on to the surface and pressure to exit as the form of water vapor. The dissipated tiny mist (about one micron in diameter) will then be absorbed into the air. Ultrasonic humidifiers are secure because the generated excessive frequency doesn't pose any well being threat to the users. The good thing about utilizing ultrasonic humidifiers is the environmentally pleasant side as it does not use any filter. It can also be probably the most silent in contrast with evaporative and impeller humidifier. Read more about Homedics Ultrasonic Humidifier Reviews below.
Homedics Personal Ultrasonic Humidifier Review – UPDATED 2020
Most ultrasonic humidifiers use optional demineralization cartridges, which help cut back mineral deposits found in tap water which can exit the humidifier in the type of white dust. A vaporizer (steam humidifier, heat mist humidifier) heats or boils water, releasing steam and moisture into the air.
Small evaporative humidifiers are cheap and their filters help in keeping microorganisms and minerals in the water from being sent into the air. However, it's very important to clean them often and have their filters changed when really helpful. The evaporative humidifier is the most common one available on the market. An Evaporative humidifier uses an internal fan to drag air into the unit. The air must circulate pass a saturated wick filter absorbing water by way of the reservoir.
When the tank runs out, the machine will mechanically shut off and a refill gentle will illuminate. You can even optimize the tank to satisfy your wants within the wintertime by choosing your perfect moisture output and including vapors via the drugs cup. Two of the best issues concerning the ultrasonic humidifiers are the low-upkeep and extremely quiet operation.
The vibrations propel microscopic water droplets into the air. Once within the air, the droplets evaporate, including humidity to the air within the room. There is not any heating of the water at any level, so these humidifiers are typically often known as "cool mist" humidifiers.
Vibrating water at ultrasonic velocity to break it down, a transducer works to produce a cool mist that's pure and invigorating. The welcomed pure, gentle mist that may be seen and felt rapidly provides moisture and thus, consolation, to the room. Models like theHolmes® 1.5-Gallon Ultrasonic Humidifier, which is greatest for medium rooms, supply variable mist control and a rotating nozzle. Set the humidifier to your required consolation stage with the digital humidistat and luxuriate in as much as 24 hours of moisture before having to change the tank. Don't allow movie or deposits to develop inside your humidifiers.
In reality, it will actually make you are feeling barely hotter as high humidity can forestall sweat and retain body warmth. Whether it's an ultrasonic or evaporative kind, its sole perform is to disperse moisture into the room and enhance the humidity stage.
However, an ultrasonic humidifier may have greater gray and white dust deposits internally than evaporative. Hence you should solely use demineralized water to scale back the quantity of white dust from spreading across the room. Most wick filters are coated with a special antimicrobial coating designed to sluggish the growth of mildew on the filter. Warm moisture humidifiers don't use wick filters at all but will have to be cleaned often to remove exhausting water mineral buildup.
Top Tricks on Homedics Ultrasonic Humidifier Reviews
Empty the tanks, dry the within surfaces and refill with clean water every single day if possible, particularly if utilizing cool-mist or ultrasonic humidifiers. Cool mist humidifiers supply relief to asthma sufferers and folks with respiratory problems by adding cool water vapor to the dry air. Used improperly, however, the humidifier can really exacerbate respiratory problems and cause different well being points. Reduce airborne sicknesses and supply applicable aid for dry air situations with meticulous cleaning and correct operation of the unit. Evaporative humidifiers operate by soaking water up into a wick and expelling the moisture out with a fan.
However, note that many evaporative humidifiers additionally accomplish evaporation without heating and are also referred to as "cool mist" humidifiers in advertising supplies. The necessary phrases to differentiate humidifiers are ultrasonic and evaporative. An ultrasonic humidifier makes use of a piezoelectric transducer/ ceramic diaphragm that oscillates at an ultrasonic frequency to create water droplets.

The stalwart Portuguese label will appear on outdoor posters positioned around supermarkets and off-licences as well as on sites on the London Underground.
The push, which starts next month and will run until July, is intended to attract more drinkers to the rosé category and drive sales of Mateus during the key summer period.
Carrying the strapline 'Drink Pink', the ads will be backed up by in-store sampling, point of sale material and an on-pack offer in the wholesale channel.

News - Network Printing Service
Printing in the Student Residences - Under Investigation
Following consulation with the SU and Warwick Accomodation a feasibility study is now underway to look into the possibility of deploying a number of 2nd generation MFDs into the Student Residences laundries, common rooms and entrances.
This is to supplement, the exisiting devices within Heronbank and Lakeside and will attempt to provide a more local and accessible solution to our customers in the chosen residences.
All MFDs will be colour, A3, duplex capable with Printing, Scan to E-mail and Scan to Folder built in.
Wireless network facilities are expected to be available within the area to aid accessibility and the support of un-managed and mobile devices.
Check back regularly for more details, we will keep you updated with any information as soon as it come available.
Hardware upgrades to the Student Print Estate
Following feedback from our customers, observations from IT staff and our Library colleagues a series of hardware upgrades are underway within the Student Print Estate. These include the deployment of new, updated and higher capacity paper trays, faster speed Multi Function Devices, extensive servicing and device heathchecks in the busiest high volume areas.
The networking cabling on the 1st floor of the Library will also be checked and refreshed as needed to ensure that is is fit for purposes and better reflects the current layout and design within this key and very popular area.
We anticipate these changes will improve the reliability, speed and the longevity of our MFDs thus providing an improved experience for all of customers and support staff alike.

State and local governments will often post documents on their websites using Portable Document Format (PDF). But PDF documents, or those in other image based formats, are often not accessible to blind people who use screen readers and people with low vision who use text enlargement programs or different color and font settings to read computer displays.
This particular lawsuit amounted to nothing more than a shakedown for cash, as the current laws would make it difficult to win the suit in court (more about this later) but it prompted me to dive deeper into the issue of ADA compliance. Through my research, I discovered there are some new laws on the horizon that could make ADA compliance mandatory, which means web designers and digital marketers need to know how to prepare.
So, what do I mean by that? That sounds weird. So, when I say designer, I mean someone who's strictly an artist, and there's a lot of those out there. A lot of 'designers' are only concerned about the aesthetics of the site. What it looks like, or if its unique, or if it follows the latest website design trends. But at the end of the day they don't really 'get it' when it comes to what the primary purpose of a website is.
I am a graphic and web designer based in Southern Florida. Over the last 10 years, I've had the opportunity to make web designs for several companies and countless industries; which has given me my strong extensive web designing knowledge and technical skills, I have also earned a degree in web design and graphics. My specialties include web design, Wix websites (including mobile), SEO and marketing material such as brochures, catalogs, banners, banner ads, emails, flyers pdf's (including ebooks), social media graphics, business cards, branding, and album art.

Prohibited discrimination may include, among other things, firing or refusing to hire someone based on a real or perceived disability, segregation, and harassment based on a disability. Covered entities are also required to provide reasonable accommodations to job applicants and employees with disabilities.[16] A reasonable accommodation is a change in the way things are typically done that the person needs because of a disability, and can include, among other things, special equipment that allows the person to perform the job, scheduling changes, and changes to the way work assignments are chosen or communicated.[17] An employer is not required to provide an accommodation that would involve undue hardship (significant difficulty or expense), and the individual who receives the accommodation must still perform the essential functions of the job and meet the normal performance requirements. An employee or applicant who currently engages in the illegal use of drugs is not considered qualified when a covered entity takes adverse action based on such use.[18]
Part of Title I was found unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court as it pertains to states in the case of Board of Trustees of the University of Alabama v. Garrett as violating the sovereign immunity rights of the several states as specified by the Eleventh Amendment to the United States Constitution. The Court determined that state employees cannot sue their employer for violating ADA rules. State employees can, however, file complaints at the Department of Justice or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, who can sue on their behalf.[19]
Nice Article! It is very important to work under guidelines if you don't want to get sued and don't want to pay the penalties. But more importantly it is better to give each user hassle free user experience over your website. Being ADA Compliant means your website works well for people with disabilities and they can easily access and navigate your website.
This is where a good creative brief can help you map out all of the elements, pages, and items you might need from the designer. A thoughtful and well-defined creative brief will help prevent scope creep, make your project run smoothly, and set expectations up front that will help to attract a talented web designer who can deliver the results you're looking for.
You may file a charge of discrimination on the basis of disability by contacting any EEOC field office, located in cities throughout the United States. If you have been discriminated against, you are entitled to a remedy that will place you in the position you would have been in if the discrimination had never occurred. You may be entitled to hiring, promotion, reinstatement, back pay, or reasonable accommodation, including reassignment. You may also be entitled to attorneys fees.
Input Assistance: When users are entering input into the website, any input errors are automatically detected and written out, providing, for instance, text descriptions that identify fields that were not filled out or data that was in the wrong format. The website also provides suggestions to fix the errors. Input fields and buttons are labeled to provide their functions and instructions. If the user's input is being used for legal purposes or financial transactions, then the user must be able to reverse submissions or correct errors.
Shortly before the act was passed, disability rights activists with physical disabilities coalesced in front of the Capitol Building, shed their crutches, wheelchairs, powerchairs and other assistive devices, and immediately proceeded to crawl and pull their bodies up all 100 of the Capitol's front steps, without warning.[38] As the activists did so, many of them chanted "ADA now", and "Vote, Now". Some activists who remained at the bottom of the steps held signs and yelled words of encouragement at the "Capitol Crawlers". Jennifer Keelan, a second grader with cerebral palsy, was videotaped as she pulled herself up the steps, using mostly her hands and arms, saying "I'll take all night if I have to." This direct action is reported to have "inconvenienced" several senators and to have pushed them to approve the act. While there are those who do not attribute much overall importance to this action, the "Capitol Crawl" of 1990 is seen by some present-day disability activists in the United States as a central act for encouraging the ADA into law.[39]
These and other types of multimedia can present two distinct problems for people with different disabilities. People who are deaf or hard of hearing can generally see the information presented on webpages. But a deaf person or someone who is hard of hearing may not be able to hear the audio track of a video. On the other hand, persons who are blind or have low vision are frequently unable to see the video images but can hear the audio track.
A. If you think you will need a reasonable accommodation in order to participate in the application process or to perform essential job functions, you should inform the employer that an accommodation will be needed. Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodation only for the physical or mental limitations of a qualified individual with a disability of which they are aware. Generally, it is the responsibility of the employee to inform the employer that an accommodation is needed.
Part of Title I was found unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court as it pertains to states in the case of Board of Trustees of the University of Alabama v.

State employees can, however, file complaints at the Department of Justice or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, who can sue on their behalf.[19]
Any business that is considered a "place of public accommodation" is required to provide equal access to services under the nondiscrimination requirements of Title III of ADA. When you look at the guidelines closely, this includes hotels, entertainment venues, legal and accounting firms, retail stores, and virtually every business that is not a private club, including businesses that exist solely on the web.

Videos need to incorporate features that make them accessible to everyone. Provide audio descriptions of images (including changes in setting, gestures, and other details) to make videos accessible to people who are blind or have low vision. Provide text captions synchronized with the video images to make videos and audio tracks accessible to people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
If your hotel used responsive web design when creating your online marketing strategies, you're already meeting many of the ADA compliant regulations for hotel websites. You will still need to make some changes, but you definitely have a head start. Making the changes now, before your business is the target of a lawsuit or government action, makes good business sense.
As a client, you might think web design comprises things like a homepage and a few interior page layouts, but web design is so much more. What about call-to-actions, buttons, and images? What about design flow? What about your navigation, headers, footers, and any side elements for up-selling products? Basically, design includes all the elements of your site, and they all need to flow with your color scheme and business idea.
Technology is changing, and many website designers are using creative and innovative ways to present web-based materials. These changes may involve new and different access problems and solutions for people with disabilities. This Chapter discusses just a few of the most common ways in which websites can pose barriers to access for people with disabilities. By using the resources listed at the end of this Chapter, you can learn to identify and address other barriers.
In January 1992, EEOC published a Technical Assistance Manual, providing practical application of legal requirements to specific employment activities, with a directory of resources to aid compliance. EEOC publishes other educational materials, provides training on the law for people with disabilities and for employers, and participates in meetings and training programs of other organizations. EEOC staff also will respond to individual requests for information and assistance. The Commission's technical assistance program is separate and distinct from its enforcement responsibilities. Employers who seek information or assistance from the Commission will not be subject to any enforcement action because of such inquiries.
This is particularly important when working for a government agency or government contractor, as these organizations must follow web accessibility guidelines under Section 508 of the Workforce Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Although ADA and Section 508 compliance are different, the published checklist for Section 508 compliance offers insight into ways to make websites accessible for people with disabilities, and thereby work toward ADA compliance.
Leading web developers have been pioneering accessibility and publishing standards since 1994. In 1999, the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) created the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). In essence, the people who determine how the internet is written came together to advise web developers on how to make websites accessible not only to people with disabilities, but to all web users, including those with highly limited devices.
If you do get sued, if you immediately remediate your website, you may be able to get the lawsuit dismissed on mootness (there's no longer anything in dispute, i.e. plaintiffs are arguing your website is inaccessible but you've already made it accessible). This definitely does not mean you should wait to fix your website but it does mean you may have an out.
The prudent next step is running an audit on your site. The tools will crawl your site and identify all the areas that do not meet web accessibility standards for ADA compliance. The results will give you a very clear sense of the work involved so you can budget properly and weigh the benefits. Who knows, you may find out that your site is already fairly compliant, especially if you are on a fairly progressive platform and have used proper coding practices during your site build.
The ADA provides explicit coverage for service animals.[22][23] Guidelines have been developed not only to protect persons with disabilities but also to indemnify businesses from damages related to granting access to service animals on their premises. Businesses are allowed to ask if the animal is a service animal and ask what tasks it is trained to perform, but they are not allowed to ask the service animal to perform the task nor ask for a special ID of the animal. They cannot ask what the person's disabilities are. A person with a disability cannot be removed from the premises unless either of two things happen: the animal is out of control and its owner cannot get it under control (e.g. a dog barking uncontrollably in a restaurant), or the animal is a direct threat to people's health and safety. Allergies and fear of animals would not be considered a threat to people's health and safety, so it would not be a valid reason to deny access to people with service animals. Businesses that prepare or serve food must allow service animals and their owners on the premises even if state or local health laws otherwise prohibit animals on the premises. In this case, businesses that prepare or serve food are not required to provide care or food for service animals, nor do they have to provide a designated area for the service animal to relieve itself. Lastly, people that require service dogs cannot be charged an extra fee for their service dog or be treated unfairly, for example, being isolated from people at a restaurant. People with disabilities cannot be treated as "less than" other customers. However, if a business normally charges for damages caused by the person to property, the customer with a disability will be charged for his/her service animal's damages to the property.
In recent cases, the U.S. Department of Justice has repeatedly sided with plaintiffs arguing that a private company's website needs to be accessible, despite any other mitigating factors. One thing is for certain, however: The number of federal lawsuits alleging violations of the ADA is currently accelerating at a rapid pace. Between January and August 2017, there were 432 ADA lawsuits filed in federal court—more than the total number of ADA lawsuits in 2015 and 2016 combined.
There are many ways to discriminate against people based on disabilities, including psychological ones. Anyone known to have a history of mental disorders can be considered disabled. Employers with more than 15 employees must take care to treat all employees fairly and with any accommodations needed. Even when an employee is doing a job exceptionally well, she or he is not necessarily no longer disabled; employers must continue to follow all policies for the disabled.
The words in the tag should be more than a description. They should provide a text equivalent of the image. In other words, the tag should include the same meaningful information that other users obtain by looking at the image. In the example of the mayor's picture, adding an "alt" tag with the words "Photograph of Mayor Jane Smith" provides a meaningful description.

function select_report() { var re_id = $('#report_id').val(); // ajax adding data to database alert(re_id); $.ajax({ url : "<?php echo site_url('homepage/category/');?>", type: "POST", data: {'re_id':re_id}, dataType: 'json', success: function(data) { console.log(data); if(data==true){ window.location.href = "<?php echo site_url('homepage/category_demo/'); ?>"+re_id; }else{ alert('Error'); } }, error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) { alert('Error'); } }); }
In controller
public function category() { $this->load->library('session'); $this->load->helper('url'); $re_id=$this->input->post('re_id'); $report=$this->main_model->select_report($re_id); if(count($report)>0){ echo json_encode(true); }else{ echo json_encode(false); } } public function category_demo($re_id){ $data['report']=$this->main_model->select_report($re_id); $this->load->view('templates/header'); $this->load->view('category.php',$data); $this->load->view('templates/footer'); }

How would I go about this with Laravel Eloquent
If you use Chrome browser, please check on tab Network and check what header data send to server. Is that have the data you want to send to your controller, and check what is the response from that URL. Please check the response HTTP status also.
And then check on your server side, make sure the the URL can go to your controller. You can die('Test') in you method code to make sure that request touch to your code.
I think the problem come from your URL.

PHP and HTML - Manual, Upon submitting, either via GET or POST, the data will be urlencoded by the browser for So even if your URL is not dynamic, you need to htmlspecialchars() the URL.

The Ajax is executing but the function in controller not. I do not get any error, I just get the YES! printed but after that nothing happen.
Code looks fine from what I can tell, no obvious problems. Can you use Firebug or something to inspect the request and make sure the POST data is all there and it's posting to the correct address? Check the return data of the request too, and maybe test the request with cURL.

The Final Chess GameA Poem by Nayeli
I can make a chess game sound more exciting than it actually is. Haha.
Please, step forward onto
marble checkered chessboard floor.
Hop-scotch patterns, king by rook;
pawn for pawn, pieces sought and took.
Not quite a pouring as much as raining;
a perfectly white floor these tears are blood staining.
One heavenly square out of Gawd knows how many?
Hop-scotch patterns, pawn a plenty.
So, dance.
A bloody romance...
Velvet, silk, cotton and veil.
Heart broken, soul weakened and body frail.
Move diagonally, form your L;
slide to and fro until your army's fell.
And once I've taken all of your choices,
killed your fan-club and snuffed out their voices;
removed their faces and passed their identities
you'll have no use for faceless entities
when I'm through with you.
What now will you do?
So, dance.
A forged lance
made of iron to burn our skin
and intoxicate the breaths within.
The count just dropping;
a driving freefall with no stopping.
I'll be rid of you, you'll see.
Even if it kills me.
As many forms you seem to guise in
to slip through the barrier and mark me with your sin,
you'll only be rid of me once I get rid of you.
And whether or not you accept it...you always knew
it to be true.
So, dance.
I'll remember your fragrance,
and recall what little it will really take
to know it's fake.
Just like you;
an extra chess piece who knows all the moves.
But now is the end of games
and I am the winner.

The youngest Christmas Decorators franchisee exceeds all sales targets
Be part of The Christmas Decorators the UKs favourite seasonal decorating company. Chosen by celebrities, national brands and many other iconic clients, including premiership footballers and Harrods. Our successful franchisees provide bespoke decorating services for both commercial and residential properties.
What did you do before joining the Christmas Decorators?
I was working in the events industry as an event coordinator. I put on events for both large corporate businesses as well as royalty & VIPs. I had just recently come out of university, prior to that, studying International Business.
What made you choose The Christmas Decorators franchise?
Being both a creative and business-minded individual, The Christmas Decorators franchise allowed both aspects of my personality to be explored. Being young and at the start of my career with the strong support network of family and friends around me to help, I took the leap to start this new venture.
Although I am the youngest franchisee, this decision to come on board at a young age gives me great platform for my future. I am learning to work for myself, be the key decision maker for my own business and delegate tasks out. I am also in control of my own time and can make decisions thatll benefit the growth of my business.
How useful did you find the initial training?
The initial training was crucial before the Christmas season began. I was able to put the knowledge from my International Business degree into context for my very own Christmas business. Although you are not able to learn everything during training, youll learn a lot of the practicalities for yourself on site as well as asking other franchisees and head office for support when needed during the install season.
What kind of support have you received from the head office team?
Install season is a very busy time for everybody at head office and for other franchisees, however I was never let down with support. Whether it was a technical question about how many sets of lights can be connected, stock & delivery queries, finance & invoicing questions or design & creativity ideas, each person at head office was there to support within their field.
What do you enjoy most about being part of the business?
Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, so knowing that you have made your clients holiday season even better by adding a touch of sparkle with our stunning installations makes it all worthwhile. I love building relationships with my clients and seeing their happy face as well as all passers by once an installation has been completed. For me, the creative side is great, and I love being able to pull some unique ideas together. Being part of a wider network of franchisees from all walks of life and all different ages and having that one common interest that is unique to us is very special.
What advice would you have for anyone thinking of taking on a territory?
A strong support network around you is key! Having family and friends especially in your first year to help with making garlands and creating products is really helpful. Ensure you are very organised and also have great customer service and people skills as building relationships is very important. The Christmas Decorators is a very unique franchise which is joyful yet demanding, so enjoy each season as much as you can and its great to know that there will always be an end date 25th December! There is so much growth and potential within each territory, youll grow a great passion for Christmas and for expanding your business as much as you can.
What is the actual install season like?
I would say the season starts picking up from September with many enquiries and client visits. Installations usually start from November 6th, after Guy Fawkes night, up until around the 20th December. However, some clients want installations much earlier or even later than that timeframe. The installation season is busier than you will ever be able to imagine, and youll only understand it once youve done your first Christmas - thats why organisation is key!
There are many many late nights, early starts, overnight installations, being outdoors most of the day, rushing for a bite to eat, managing incoming enquiries, conducting site visits, writing proposals, making garlands & trees, ordering stock, manging your teams & staff .and after all of that, you may just have time to do your own Christmas gift shopping once your last installation is done!! Although it is manic, there is an end date 25th December!
Deinstallations may commence even before Christmas Day for some industries, but usually they can begin from 27th December and the first couple of weeks of January. Deinstalling is much faster and efficient than installing, but it is crucial to fill any holes youve made and leave the building just how you found it.
The most common question franchisees get asked what do you do the rest of the year?
Surprisingly, I dont stop! This is my only job and in order to grow my business year on year I am planning, marketing and preparing from February until October and then installing from November until January. Some franchisees choose not to do as much throughout the year and pick up again later on, but I have set myself turnover targets which I would very much like to beat!

The minute or two MOT check
Before you take your car for its annual MOT, Toyota recommends you carry out a few simple checks.
Keep your Toyota smelling fresh
Does your Toyota smell of wet dog? It might not be Fido's fault. A musty odour could be a sign that your cabin air filter needs changing.
Genuine parts: Toyota through and through
Your Toyota deserves genuine Toyota parts. For quality, durability and reliability, nothing else comes close.
Toyota car servicing: fixed price, fixed first time
Your Toyota dealer will do everything they can to fix an issue first time, with the reassurance of fixed-price servicing to keep costs low and transparent.
Happy birthday hybrid!
Give your Toyota the birthday present it really wants by having your hybrid serviced at your local Toyota dealer.

With a Toyota Hybrid Health Check, 'free' means extending the warranty on your Toyota hybrid's battery without paying a penny.
The Apprentice, Toyota-style
We like to think our Toyota Apprentice Technicians are the best in the business. Discover why here.
Worn tyres: tread carefully
Making sure your Toyota's tyres have enough tread left is a legal requirement for good reason – if the tyres are excessively worn then safety is compromised.
MOT: Our dealers pass the test
When your car's next MOT is due, it makes sense to have the test carried out at your local Toyota Centre.
Why service your car at a Toyota dealership?
The best place to have your Toyota serviced is your local Toyota dealer. We would say that, wouldn't we? But we can back it up.

The International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival proudly presents the world premiere of Wretched Little Brat by Brian Merriman
For one week only… a tale of persecuted love, scandal and conflict – the fascinating true story of Oscar Wilde's lovers.
Starring: Sean Doyle, Dave Flynn, Brian Higgins, Ailish Leavy, Anne Doyle, Stephen Gorman, Eli Caldwell
The untold story of persecuted love, moralistic law, and endless litigation between Lord Alfred Douglas (Bosie) and Robbie Ross, Oscar Wilde's lovers.
George Bernard Shaw exclaimed when he met Bosie that he was a 'wretched little brat'. Meet an array of political and literary characters in an unresolved battle of the moral versus the lawful that raged until 1945.
This new full length play charts the lives of Robbie Ross who dedicated his life to maintain Wilde's legacy after his death in 1900, and Lord Alfred Douglas who did the opposite. The litigation that ruined Wilde went on to try to destroy Ross as Douglas hounded him through the courts for promoting homosexuality. The play charts the Wilde years and beyond to Bosie's death in 1945.
Based on their own testimony, "Wretched Little Brat" reveals the lives underscoring one of the most "scandalous" episodes in history and how it continues to impact in modern times.

On 21 February 2017, the second meeting of the interdisciplinary seminar of Social Development Challenges Strategic Academic Unit took place at the Faculty of Social Sciences. Andrey Korotayev, the head of the Laboratory for Monitoring the Risks of Socio-Political Destabilization, presented his report entitled Economic Development and Social and Political Instability: The Experience of Cross-national Analysis.
The speaker demonstrated that empirical tests generally confirm the validity of the Olson–Huntington hypothesis suggesting a bell-shaped relationship between the level of economic development and the level of socio-political instability. According to this hypothesis, up to certain values of the average per capita income its growth tends to lead to increased risks of sociopolitical destabilization, and only in the upper range of this indicator its growth tends to be associated with the decrease of sociopolitical destabilization risks. Thus, for higher values of per capita income there is a negative correlation between per capita income and the risk of sociopolitical instability, and for lower values this correlation is positive. As a result, the maximum values of political instability tend to be observed in the mid-range of the GDP per capita spectrum rather than among the poorest or the richest countries.
However, the analysis has shown that for various indices of sociopolitical destabilization this curvilinear relationship can be quite different in some important details. On the other hand, the researchers detect the presence of a very important exception. It should be noted that the relationship between per capita GDP and the intensity of coups and coup attempts is not curvilinear; in this case there is a pronounced negative correlation; a particularly strong negative correlation is observed between this index and the logarithm of GDP per capita.
Professor Korotaev emphasized that this fact makes the abovementioned bell-shaped relationship with respect to the integral index of sociopolitical destabilization considerably less distinct and makes a very significant contribution to the formation of its asymmetry (when the negative correlation between per capita GDP and sociopolitical destabilization among the richer countries looks much stronger than the positive correlation among poorer countries). However, the analysis shows that for all the other indices of sociopolitical destabilization there is indeed the bell-shaped relationship assumed by the Olson–Huntington hypothesis. On the other hand, for example, in relation to such indices, as political strikes, riots and anti-government demonstrations there is such an asymmetry that is directly opposite to that mentioned above — such an asymmetry, when a positive correlation between GDP and instability for poorer countries is much stronger than the negative correlation for richer countries. An especially strong asymmetry of this kind is found for such an important index of social and political destabilization, as the intensity of anti-government demonstrations.

Ratings out of 5 stars. Comics courtesy of Absolute Comics (Plaza Singapura) except for DKIII: The Master Race
DKIII: The Master Race Book One
Story: Frank Miller and Brian Azzarello
Art: Andy Kubert and Klaus Jason
DC Comics
The comic to review this week. DKIII is highly anticipated and you have read all the hype about it. The original Dark Knight Returns was a classic and seminal series in all sense of the word. Together with Alan Moore, Frank Miller was the god of mainstream superhero comics. Everything he touched turned to gold – Daredevil Born Again, Batman Year One, Give Me Liberty, Hardboiled. Until they did not. Bad trips like Robocop, DKII, All-Star Batman and Robin, Holy Terror declare Miller to be a spent force. Throughout the 90s, fans kept faith with series like Sin City and The 300, which show Miller to be an innovative stylist in his use of blacks and colours (in collaboration with then-wife, Lynn Varley). Will DKIII be a return to form?
Book One is a mixed bag. It's more Wonder Woman, Superman, their love child and the Atom in the mini-comic drawn by Miller. This reads more like a Superman comic and the shrunken City of Kandor seems like a major plot development. There are pages of Bats punching cops and getting punched up in return. Casey (Robin) is Batman now and Book One ends with her declaring Bruce Wayne is dead. You need to read DKII to follow the story. Art wise, Andy Kubert's Batman reminds me of Matt Wagner's.
I'm still curious enough to return for this next month. Hopefully, they can keep to the schedule.
(3.5 stars)
Howling Commandos of SHIELD #2
Story: Frank J Barbiere
Art: Brent Schoonover
Marvel Comics
More SHIELD comics to cash in on the TV series, which is advertised in these very pages. Dum Dum Dugan is the lead in this series. He is an advanced LMD (Life-Model Decoy) and is heading the Howling Commandos, a faction of SHIELD that handles the paranormal. Think X-Files meets WWII antics. Or a poor man's version of BPRD. Dracula is revealed to be a possible villain and Sphinx, an old Nova villain from 1977, appears at the end. Disposable.
(2 stars)
Justice League 3001 #6
Story: Keith Giffen and JM DeMatteis
Art: Colleen Doran
DC Comics
The sequel to Justice League 3000, which was part of the New 52. In the 31st Century, when people need heroes, Project Camden having kept the genetic code of the Justice League, had recreated the heroes to less than desirable effects. They are not quite there and are prone to quibbling. Sounds like the Justice League International series in the 1980s? Well, it is the same writing team of Keith Giffen and JM DeMatteis. Superman's head got blown up in this issue. That should tell you whether to pick this up or not. Or even to CGC it since this will be a super key issue.
Art by Colleen Doran and it is always nice to see her turn in a mainstream gig every once a while.
(3 stars)
The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #2
Story: Ryan North
Art: Erica Henderson
Marvel Comics
More squirrel fun as the girl and her talking squirrel gets lost in time and no one in the present reality remembers her except for her bestie. Isn't that what happen in Secret War? Doctor Doom returns from Battleworld to be the villain here. Buy this for your niece and nephew.
