Does a stainless steel wheelbarrow really cost nearly KSh110,000 (about US$1,039)?
Bungoma county governor Ken Lusaka had a lot to answer for at a press conference a couple of weeks ago after news broke that the county had spent KSh1,093,200 on 10 wheelbarrows.
Lusaka said a preliminary investigation showed the wheelbarrows were so expensive because they were special ones, likely intended for use at the soon-to-be-completed Chwele slaughterhouse.
"These are wheelbarrows that are made of stainless non-carcinogenic materials that are also insoluble in various reagents used in food industry," he said. "What is clear is that it's not an ordinary wheelbarrow, because if you tell anybody that you bought a wheelbarrow for KSh109,320 it looks outrageous."
Does Lusaka's claim add up? Or is the price tag of these wheelbarrows outrageous?
'Stainless steel wheelbarrows very rare'
The Bungoma wheelbarrows differ from ordinary wheelbarrows – their handles are made of aluminium, their containers of stainless steel and they have two wheels, the county's director of veterinary services, Dr Wycliffe Wangwe, told Africa Check. (They also have two wheels and should therefore not be called wheelbarrows, he added.)
Stainless steel wheelbarrows are not common in Kenya, as Africa Check found out when asking at several major hardware stores in the country. The wheelbarrows most sell are metal ones, painted to prevent rusting.
A salesperson with Elite Tools in Nairobi, Ken Kamau, said: "We don't stock them. Stainless steel wheelbarrows are very rare."
In Kenya, someone needing such a wheelbarrow would therefore probably have to have it specially made or import it. Manufacturing one would cost between KSh45,000 and KSh70,000 – depending on the quality of the steel, said Peter Kariuki, assistant engineer at ASL Steel Division in Nairobi.
"The full grade, which is pure stainless steel, is the most expensive; [wheelbarrows of a lesser grade of stainless steel are] made in the informal sector," he said.
Slaughterhouses mostly use trolleys
But are slaughterhouses required to use stainless steel equipment to process meat?
"That is what we recommend," the head of the veterinary public health and animal products division at the Directorate of Veterinary Services, Dr Charles Ochodo, told Africa Check.
Citing the Meat Control Act, he said: "Materials used shall be impervious, easily cleaned and resistant to wear and corrosion."
This means that slaughterhouses can use a number of materials that meet those requirements, such as stainless steel.
According to Ochodo, most slaughterhouses, including the national Kenya Meat Commission that Lusaka mentioned at the press conference, use stainless steel trolleys, not wheelbarrows.
Depending on the type of stainless steel trolley required, prices can range from Ksh20,000 to KSh70,000, said Hiten Shah, sales manager at metal fabrication and general engineering company Metco.
Conclusion: Price of Bungoma county's KSh110,000 wheelbarrows is outrageously high
A full-grade stainless steel wheelbarrow or trolley would cost at most about KSh70,000 to manufacture, sellers told Africa Check. Instead, Bungoma county paid nearly 60% more for theirs, at KSh109,320.
The county's governor asked for a comprehensive report on the procurement. It will surely show that Kenya's taxpayers were taken for a ride in an overpriced wheelbarrow.

So I'm another year older, that's a given. But am I wiser because of my experiences over the last 365 days? That's debatable. Wisdom comes with experience, not necessarily age.
Certainly I'm happier; I feel this to be true. I'm more settled in myself and have a sterling band of supporters, friends and family behind me. This is important. But whether I'll be wiser this time next year depends on what happens over the next 365 days. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Speaking of pudding: I'm off out for the day to eat my fill and enjoy life.

Last week, the Congress for the New Urbanism held its annual conference in Denver -- an event we commemorated with examinations of Bradburn Village, Highlands' Garden Village and several other New Urbanist developments in the city; find them in our Not-So-New Urbanism archive. As for the conference itself, the issues debated there are currently being chronicled on the Huffington Post by Frank Gruber, a columnist for the Santa Monica Lookout News. He's posted three dispatches thus far, with the first, "New Urbanism: Very Misunderstood," setting the stage for the discussions to follow by, among other things, sharing some of the criticism levied against the movement. He writes:
New Urbanists are attacked from both sides of America's cultural divide. Chances are, if you mention New Urbanism to group of forward thinking, contemporary design professionals, whether architects or planners, they will roll their eyes. To them New Urbanism, because so many of its practitioners make their livings designing new towns and developments outside of existing cities, is a facilitator of sprawl, not a solution. Then, because many of these towns and developments feature traditional architecture, New Urbanism is hopelessly nostalgic.
But if you find yourself among a group of conservatives or libertarians, such as Randal O'Toole of the Independence Institute's Center for the American Dream, and who writes for the Cato Institute and the Reason Foundation, and you mention New Urbanism, you'll just as likely unleash a denunciation on the grounds that New Urbanism aims to thwart the natural desire of Americans to live in a single-family house on a cul-de-sac.
So how do New Urbanists react to these attacks from the left and the right? I'd like to be able to say that they smile, realizing that to be attacked from both sides is a compliment, and reflects the success of the ideas in their Charter. But that's not always the case.

What if there really is ONE major cause of relationship problems, one issue that if you address, would change everything? The good news and the bad news is—there is!
The good news is that it makes it easier to understand why you might be having problems in your relationship, or why your relationship has failed.
The bad news is that to resolve the issue takes a deep personal commitment to heal.
The One Cause Is: Self-Abandonment
Let's take a look at what self-abandonment is and why it causes almost all the problems in relationships.
There are many areas in which we can abandon ourselves: emotional, physical, spiritual, financial, relational, and organizational. One or more of these areas may be affecting your relationship, or may have caused your relationship to fail. The area of self-abandonment that often causes the most problems is emotional self-abandonment.
Emotional Self-Abandonment
The Encarta(r) World English Dictionary defines 'abandon' as: "to leave somebody or something behind for others to look after, especially somebody or something meant to be a personal responsibility."
As adults, our own wellbeing is our personal responsibility.
Do you abandon yourself, making your partner responsible for you, and then feel abandoned by your partner or others when they leave you or don't take responsibility for you?
As an adult, another person cannot abandon you, since they are not responsible for you. We can abandon a child, an ill person or an old person – someone who cannot take care of themselves. But if you are a physically healthy adult, you can be left, but you cannot be abandoned by others. Only you can abandon yourself.
What are the ways you might be abandoning yourself?
Judging Yourself
How often do you judge yourself with comments to yourself such as:
"You are not good enough." "You are inadequate."
"You are stupid." "You are an idiot."
"You are ugly." "You are not attractive enough."
"If you fail, you are not okay."
"If someone rejects you, you are not okay."
"It's all your fault that…."
"You will never amount to anything. You are a failure. You are not reaching your potential."
…and so on.
Just as a small child feels alone and abandoned when a parent is harsh and judgmental, so your own inner child – your inner feeling self – feels alone and abandoned when you judge yourself. Self-judgment not only creates inner feelings of aloneness and emptiness, but it also creates feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, hurt, fear, guilt, shame, aloneness and emptiness. Then what do you do when you have judged yourself and created all these painful feelings?
Making Others Responsible for You
Once you judge yourself and then ignore the pain you have caused, it is quite likely that you then turn to your partner for the love and approval that you are not giving to yourself. Your inner child needs love, approval and attention. We all need the love and comfort of others, but when you abandon yourself with your self-judgments and ignore your feelings, the wounded child part of you turns to your partner in needy, controlling ways that may actually push your partner away. Because the child part of you is desperately needy for love, you likely become manipulative to get that love – getting angry and blaming, or becoming overly nice or compliant and trying to do everything right. You have handed your inner child away to your partner, hoping he or she will give you the love you are not giving to yourself and that you so desperately need.
The more you make your partner responsible for giving you the love, attention and approval you need, the more your inner child feels abandoned by you, leading to more addictive and controlling behavior to fill the emptiness and avoid the pain of your self-abandonment.
People tend to treat us the way we treat ourselves, so the more you abandon yourself, the more you might feel rejected by your partner.
Financial Self-Abandonment
When we refuse to take care of ourselves financially, instead expecting our partner to take financial responsibility for us, this can create problems. This is not a problem if your partner agrees to take financial responsibility for you and you fully accept how he or she takes this responsibility, but if you choose to be financially irresponsible, much conflict can occur over your financial self-abandonment.
Organizational Self-Abandonment
If you refuse to take responsibility for your own time and space, instead being consistently late or being a clutterer, and your partner is an on-time and/or neat person, this can create huge power struggles. In fact, some relationships actually break up over these issues. While these issues might not have seemed so major at the beginning of the relationship, over time they can erode the love between you.
Physical Self-Abandonment
If you refuse to take care of yourself physically, instead eating badly and not exercising and possibly causing yourself health problems, your partner may feel resentful at having to take care of you. Your physical self-abandonment not only has negative consequences for you regarding your health and well being, but it also has unwanted consequences for your partner, which can lead to much conflict and power struggles.
If, due to physical self-abandonment, you have put on a lot of weight, this might be a turn off to your partner. It might not just be your weight that is the turn off, but also the fact that you don't care enough about yourself to take care of your physical wellbeing. Again, not caring about yourself might be reflected back to you in your partner also not caring about you.
Relational Self-Abandonment
If you refuse to speak up for yourself in your relationship, instead giving yourself up and allowing your partner to control you, you are eroding the love in the relationship. When you abandon yourself to your partner, you create a lack of trust that leads to conflict and resentment, because if your partner knows that he or she can manipulate you into giving yourself up, how can he or she trust that you are not going to allow yourself to be manipulated by others?
Spiritual Self-Abandonment
When you make your partner your dependable source of love rather than learning to turn to a spiritual source for your dependable source of love, you place a very unfair burden on your partner. When your intent in the relationship is to get love rather than to share love, then you will pull on your partner for attention, approval, time, or sex. When you do not take responsibility for learning how to connect with a spiritual source of sustenance and comfort, your neediness can create much conflict in the relationship.
Controlling Behavior Pushes Your Partner Away
Trying to get love, rather than learning to fill yourself up with love to be shared with your partner, is a major result of self-abandonment. The more you abandon yourself in these ways, the more you will try to control your partner, and the more you try to control your partner, the more he or she will likely pull away.
What are the ways you try to control your partner?
Do you
- Explain and defend yourself?
- Shame and judge your partner?
- Comply, giving yourself up?
- Withdraw, shut down, ignore, resist?
- Yell, blame, and attack?
- Complain?
- Cry as a victim?
How does your partner respond when you attempt to control in these ways? Does this lead to closeness or to distance? These are some of the ways you might be trying to get love from your partner when you are abandoning yourself.
The Way Out: Learning to Love Yourself Rather Than Abandon Yourself
When you decide to learn to love yourself rather than continue to abandon yourself, you will discover how to create a loving relationship with your partner. Practicing the 6-Step self-healing Inner Bonding® process is a very powerful way of learning to love yourself!
A brief overview of the Six Steps of Inner Bonding
Step 1: Willingness to Feel Pain and Take Responsibility for Your Feelings
In Step 1, you move into the present moment and focus within, tuning into your feelings and emotions – moving toward your feelings rather than away from them. You make the choice to be mindful of all your feelings, including your pain, rather than protect against them with various addictions. You make a conscious decision that you want to take responsibility for your feelings, which means that you want responsibility for learning how you might be causing your own anxiety, depression, anger, guilt and shame with your own thoughts and actions, and that you want responsibility for learning how to nurture the painful existential feelings of life – the loneliness, heartbreak, grief and helplessness concerning others that are so challenging.
Step 2: Move into the Intent to Learn
In Step 2, you focus in your heart and invite the compassionate presence of your higher self into your heart, by simply saying, "I invite love and compassion into my heart."
Now you're ready to focus on "intent" – your deepest desire, your primary motivation. There are only two possible intents you can have in any given moment:
- The intent to protect yourself from pain with various forms of controlling, self-abandoning behavior, or
- The intent to learn about loving yourself and others
When your intent is to learn, you are operating as a loving adult. When your intent to avoid your pain with some form of self-abandoning behavior, you are operating from your programmed ego self – what we call in Inner Bonding your 'wounded self'.
Step 3: Dialogue with Your Wounded self and Your Inner Child
With kindness, gentleness and compassion toward yourself, you discover the thoughts and false beliefs from your wounded self that may be causing your shame, fear, anxiety, depression, aloneness, emptiness or anger, and you learn how to release anger in appropriate ways. You uncover the false beliefs that were created in the past and have led to the self-abandonment that is causing much of your current pain. You explore what may be happening with a person or event that is causing the existential painful feelings of life – loneliness, heartache, heartbreak, helplessness concerning others, or grief. You explore your core self – your essence, your inner child, which is your feeling self – and discover what brings you joy.
Only when the unconscious false beliefs that have limited you for so long are understood and identified, can they be replaced by new and healthier truths that will nurture and heal you.
In Step 3, you ask yourself questions, such as, "What am I telling myself and how am I treating myself that is causing my pain?" "What am I trying to control or avoid with my controlling behavior?"
Step 4: Dialogue with Your Inner or Higher Guidance
In Step 4, you ask a source of inner or higher wisdom – whatever that is for you: "What is the truth about the false beliefs I may have uncovered in Step 3?" And, "What is the loving behavior toward my inner child in this situation? What is in my highest good? What is kind to myself?" You open and allow the answers to come through you in words, pictures or feelings. The answers may not come immediately, but if you have a sincere desire to learn, they will come.
By staying open to learning, you will begin to experience that you are never alone. This is where fears start to fall away and you begin to receive all the love and wisdom you need to take loving actions for yourself and with others.
Step 5: Take Loving Action
Step 5 is about telling yourself the truth and taking the loving action based on the information that came through from your inner or higher guidance in Step 4.
You have opened to your pain, moved into learning, started a dialogue with your wounded self and inner child, and tapped into your higher wisdom. In step 5 you take the 'loving action' that, over time, heals the painful feelings that have been the result of your self-abandonment.
Step 6: Evaluate Your Action
Once you take the loving action, you check in to see if your anxiety, depression, guilt, shame, anger, aloneness or emptiness is getting healed. If not, go back through the steps until you discover the truth and actions that bring you relief, peace, joy, and a deep sense of intrinsic worth.
Turning this daily practice into a way of life is what will protect you from going back into self-abandoning behaviors. Much like attending to – say – a child's feelings, you learn to keep a loving relationship with yourself throughout your life, no matter the challenges that come at you. This loving relationship with yourself and your higher guidance fills you and empowers you to handle life's challenges with strength and equanimity. This is what then leads to being able to share love with your partner, rather than always trying to get love.
Even if just one of you in a relationship starts to learn to love yourself rather than abandon yourself, your relationship can begin to heal. Try it! You will be truly amazed at the results!

6"/47 Mark 16
The 6"/47 Mark 16 guns were used to arm both Brooklyn and Cleveland class light cruisers. Developed from experiments with old 6"/50 Mark 8 gun, this weapon was capable of using the "super heavy" AP projectile which had almost double the penetration of the previous 6"/53 gun used on the Omaha class light cruisers.
These guns were constructed with monobloc autofretted barrels secured to their housing by a bayonet joint. Later mods included chrome plating and a tapered liner. All 6"/47 guns used a semi-automatic vertical sliding breech block.
Each 6"/47 gun was supplied by its own projectile and cartridge hoists. The cartridge hoist was an endless conveyor type with open flights rather than powder cars. Projectiles and cartridges were rammed together.
Each turret required a crew of 3 officers and 52 enlisted men.
The following is extracted from:
7F. "Turrets Equipped With Case Guns",
7F1. (See Reference link below.)
7F2. Six-inch 47-caliber triple-gun turrets
Light cruisers of the Brooklyn, Cleveland, and Fargo classes are equipped with single-purpose 6-inch turrets of similar designs. The gun has a monobloc, radially expanded barrel with housing and wedge-type sliding breechblock. Ammunition is supplied to the gun room through 1 projectile hoist and 1 powder hoist for each gun, and is transferred by the gun crew from the top of the hoist into a loading tray in the gun slide. Although the maximum elevation of the guns is 60 degrees, loading must be accomplished at an elevation of 22° or less because of the limitations of the ammunition-loading mechanisms and the empty-case ejection system. Gun compartment features generally resemble the smaller semiautomatic guns, such as the 5"/38.
The gun compartment is not divided into separate gun rooms, because the inherently greater safety of case ammunition renders such minute flametight subdivision unnecessary. The rear part of the gun house, as in major-caliber turrets, includes the turret officer's booth with rangefinder and equipment for local control of fire. The pointer's and sight checker's stations are located outboard of the left gun, the trainer's and sight setter's stations outboard of the right gun, neither station being separated from the gun compartment by bulkheads.
Levels of the turret below the gun compartment serve the same purposes as in the 16"/50 turret. They are somewhat simplified as appropriate to the smaller size and lighter weight of the whole assembly and each of its components. One major simplification is in powder hoist design, the charges for the 6"/47 gun being handled by an endless-chain conveyor-type hoist with open flights instead of powder cars. Elevating and training gear are of electric-hydraulic type and permit a selection of remote or local control.
7F3. (See Reference link below.)
The following is extracted from:
7G. " 6"/47 Dual - Purpose Gun and Turret "
7G1 thru 7G6. (See Reference link below.)
7G7. Fire control and power drive equipment
The 6"/47 dual-purpose turret is designed to deal with air as well as surface targets. It is capable of a maximum surface range of over 25,000 yards, and can reach targets at an altitude of over 51,000 feet when at its maximum elevation of 78°. There is no optical rangefinder in these turrets, but they are equipped with telescopic prismatic sights, periscopes, and sight-setting equipment, as well as radar and computer equipment.
The turret is driven in train and the guns in elevation by electric-hydraulic power drives controlled by receiver-regulators. The fuze setters on the gun slides are also operated by receiver-regulators. There are six designated types of turret control:
1. Primary surface control. The gun and turret drives are controlled by an aloft radar antenna mount or by an aloft main-battery gun director, operating in conjunction with main-battery plotting room equipment. This control has two variations: "AUTOMATIC" and "INDICATING."
2. Primary AA control. The gun and turret drives are controlled by an aloft main-battery gun director operating in conjunction with main-battery plotting-room equipment. This control has two variations: "AUTOMATIC" and "INDICATING."
3. Secondary surface or AA control. The gun and turret drives are controlled by a 3-inch battery director.
4. Local radar control. The drives are controlled by the radar equipment within the turret. In this method of control, the pointers control gun laying with their sights and handwheel controls: Turret train is controlled by the radar operators using the train transmitter (turret order) to send gun train orders to the receiver-regulator and to the gun train indicators.
5. Hand control. The gun-laying and training drives are controlled by the pointers and selected trainer using their sights and handwheel controls.
In primary surface or AA control, the turrets and their guns are controlled, in automatic control, by signals received from the controlling plotting room. Or they may be controlled and positioned in the follow-the-pointer operation, called indicating control. Either selection can be controlled from the forward or after plotting room, using any one of the aloft radar antenna mounts or main-battery directors for surface control, or using any one of the main-battery directors for AA control.
In secondary surface or AA control, the turret drive may be controlled by similar automatic and follow-the-pointer (indicating) control variations from a selected secondary (3-inch battery) director.
Turret local control methods include local radar control, hand (target-sighting) control, periscope control, and combinations of these. All of these methods use the local computer for solution of the firing problem for the proper sight angle and sight deflection for hitting the target. The computer operator gives the computed values of sight angle and sight deflection to the sight setters. The sight setters crank these quantities into their indicators to set the sights to the ordered values of sight angle and deflection.
Radar control arrangements are one of the feature innovations of the turret. The installation includes one complete radar control set in the turret officer's booth, a radar antenna, and antenna train drive. This installation enables the turret to ascertain target direction, distance, course, and speed. It is a range-finding system that completely displaces the optical range-finder of earlier turret design, and provides new alternative methods for local control. The radar signal beam to the target can be employed to yield line-of-sight and range data.
Unlike other 6-inch turrets, the elevating gear is of the arc and pinion type (same principle as the 5"/38 mount) instead of the screw and nut type (like that in the 16"/50 turret).

Hello httpbis WG members, According to TracTickets, ticket #274 on IANA registry for warn-codes (used in "Warning" header field, see http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-p6-cache-14#section-3.6) was opened 2 month ago. During this time there were 2 version of p6 posted, as I remember, none of which dealt with this issue. I've recently asked Mark Nottingham, WG chair, regarding the process of this issue. He pointed me to http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/274. I haven't tracked this page, but I see it doesn't represent any progress on this issue. I haven't also tracked discussions on this list, so I'm currently not aware of any discussions occurred on this issue. So my question is: Whether WG is going to include my proposal in your p6 in its new version? Or there is an another agreement? Mykyta YevstifeyevReceived on Thursday, 28 April 2011 14:24:17 UTC

Statement of the Special Adviser of the Secretary-General on the Prevention of Genocide on the situation in Mali
United Nations Office on Genocide Prevention and RtoP
1 February 2013
Mr. Adama Dieng, Special Adviser of the Secretary-General on the Prevention of Genocide, warned today of the increasing risk of reprisal attacks against ethnic Tuareg and Arab civilian populations in the Timbuktu, Kidal and Gao regions of northern Mali.
"While the liberation of towns once under the control of the rebel and extremist groups has brought hope to the populations of northern Mali, I am deeply concerned at the risk of reprisal attacks against ethnic Tuareg and Arab civilians. There have been serious allegations of human rights violations committed by the Malian army, including summary executions and disappearances, in Sevaré, Mopti, Niono and other towns close to the areas where fighting has occurred. There have also been reports of incidents of mob lynching and looting of properties belonging to Arab and Tuareg communities. These communities are reportedly being accused of supporting armed groups, based simply on their ethnic affiliation," said Mr. Dieng.
"I call on the Malian army to discharge its responsibility to protect all populations, irrespective of their race or ethnicity," stated Mr. Dieng. (…)
"I urge all actors, including the Malian army, to adhere to international humanitarian and human rights law. Targeting of ethnic or religious groups in an armed conflict and if such abuses are carried out in a widespread and systematic way, could constitute atrocity crimes," stated Mr. Dieng. (…)

The winemaking tradition of the region dates back to the Etruscan era and in this region we find mainly a production suited to red wines. Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Carmignano and Morellino di Scansano are just some of the examples of Tuscan red wines. The production of white wines is also interesting but is often stifled by the fame and grandeur of the red ones. Among the white grapes that we find in the region we remember the Vernaccia of Sam Gimignano from which the homonym wine is produced, the Tuscan Trebbiano, the White Malvasia, the Malvasia of Candia, the Vermentino and the Ansonica, name with which it is known in Tuscany the Inzolia grape.
Among the red grapes is Sangiovese, widely used and cultivated here, Sangiovese Grosso, Canaiolo Nero and Mammolo.

About Us
All of us at Abambo have been bitten by the Africa bug.
So badly bitten, in fact, that we gave up our careers as teachers, coaches and writers, to focus entirely on bringing the Africa that we love to families who want more from their holidays than kids' clubs and iPads.
We know that Africa gets under your skin from the first time you set foot on the continent.
We know that grown-ups get it. But we also know that it's not that easy to decide when, where and how you share that passion with your kids – or indeed how you turn a wild adventure into a safe, multigenerational holiday.
Our belief is that it's a crying shame that kids are kept away from Africa, and that families often choose sanitised vacations to get together with the grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles.
Africa is a mind-blowing experience that is out there right now, changing, and there is no time like the present to share that experience with your family.
The Abambo team is led by safari expert and ex-teacher Rosanne Cobb, founder of the Safari Awards and editor of the Good Safari Guide 2007-2015. Rose is the safari expert and guest blogger for Britmums and is the Family Traveller safari expert. What Rose and her team don't know about safaris isn't worth knowing.
Not only can we recommend the best accommodations to suit your group but you can be sure that Abambo guests are always incredibly well looked after. Take recent guest Renee, for example:
" Not only did you put together a fabulous itinerary but all the little surprises you've given us along the way have elevated our trip to 'Diamond' status. "
Every one of us at Abambo have been actively exploring Africa for more than 20 years.
We've been enthralled, amazed, and enchanted from Cape Town to Kenya and everywhere in between.
Between us, we know every luxury lodge that's worth knowing and every safari camp in every great wildlife reserve in Africa.
We understand how to put together safari itineraries which work for your group because we've tried and tested these ourselves.
We know the right amount of time to spend in the bush for a child of 5, or 15. We know that safari and beach really works and we know the best countries – and the best times of year – for your African family vacation.
For years we have been meeting with safari lodge owners, safari guides, ground handlers, safari lodge managers, airlines and air charter companies throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, many of whom we now call best friends.
We have a close and invaluable network of contacts and colleagues throughout the continent, all ready to welcome you as friends when you arrive at their door.
The fabulously untamed Africa is not for everyone.
But if you feel like we do, then get in touch and we'll share our knowledge and African stories with you. Hopefully you'll share yours with us too!
We are partners with and represented by Safari Bookings, The Safari Awards, The Safari Guild, The Good Safari Guide and are audited and accredited by the Civil Aviation Authority's ATOL licensing scheme.

A young Auckland woman has taken the fight to save her tūrangawaewae, place where she belongs, all the way to the UN.
Pania Newton has been nominated for the Rangatahi Leaders of Apopo Catergory at this year's Matariki Awards for her efforts to preserve Ihumātao in South Auckland.
She was born and raised there, and is fighting to save the 33 kilometres of Māori ancestral land that borders the Manukau Harbour.
"When I stand here I feel strong in who I am, and where I come from and I have a deep sense of place and belonging," Pania told TVNZ1's Seven Sharp.
She's been to the UN three times over the past two years to fight a new housing development that has been proposed in Ihumātao.
The trips have been successful for the young campaigner, with the UN taking her side on the issue.
"Having the UN recognise our campaign and making that concluding statement that the Government need to evaluate the designation of the housing area here was a relief," Pania said.
Despite this support, her fight to protect and preserve isn't over yet.
"This land was promised to be included on the Ōtuataua Stonefields historic reserve, to be a public open space.
"But to change the law overnight and to designate it without considering the whānau or the community here is in many ways ongoing colonisation because we are not being considered."
Pania says she will stay and fight for her tūrangawaewae until it's protected and preserved.

'If in doubt – get checked out' when it comes to Mouth Cancer
Health professionals here have joined forces to raise awareness of the causes, signs and symptoms of Mouth Cancer.
Around 200 people are diagnosed with mouth cancer each year in Northern Ireland, often at a late stage, with about a third of those diagnosed dying from the disease.
And according to figures from the Northern Ireland Cancer Registry, the number of cases looks set to double by 2035.
The main risk factors of mouth cancer are tobacco use and drinking alcohol and together these account for around 75% of mouth cancers, and people who both drink and use tobacco are up to 30 times more likely to develop the condition. However, early detection transforms survival chances to more than 90%.
The Public Health Agency, Cancer Focus Northern Ireland, the British Dental Association and the Health and Social Care Board are marking Mouth Cancer month in November by encouraging people to be aware of the early signs of mouth cancer and to seek help if they have any concerns.
Colette Rogers, Strategic Lead for Tobacco Control at the Public Health Agency (PHA) says symptoms can manifest in several ways. "It's important that people know what to look out for and take time to check for changes in the mouth. This habit of carrying out a 'mouth check', similar to the 'breast check' advised for women, could save lives.
"In addition to early detection it is of paramount importance to know what you can do to reduce your risk of developing mouth cancer. We know that tobacco use is the biggest risk factor for developing mouth cancer and while it may be difficult to quit there is help available. In Northern Ireland there are over 650 free PHA-funded stop smoking specialist services available in a variety of settings. For more information and useful tips to stop smoking visit the PHA's 'Want 2 Stop' website at www.want2stop.info ."
Gerry McElwee from Cancer Focus Northern Ireland says the message is clear.
"Stop smoking, reduce your intake of alcohol, eat a healthy diet with at least 5 daily servings of fruit and vegetables and remember that early diagnosis can really make the difference. So make sure you visit a dentist and check your mouth regularly - it might just save your life."
Mouth cancer can appear in different forms, most often as a painless ulcer that doesn't heal. Michael Donaldson, Head of Dental Services at the Health and Social Care Board, says early intervention is key. "Dentists are trained to diagnose all diseases of the mouth including oral cancer. We would encourage patients to consult their dentists about any oral condition that does not resolve within 3 weeks."
Peter Crooks, Chair of the BDA NI Dental Practice Committee says that in relation to oral cancer, visiting your dentist regularly could quite simply be lifesaving. "Dentists can play an important role in detecting unusual changes in the mouth, lips, head and neck. Through our oral health check initiative, a partnership between Cancer Focus NI, BDA and the Health and Social Care Board, we hope to educate the public on the risk factors, and signs and symptoms of oral cancer, and ultimately achieve better health outcomes."
Patient information on mouth cancer can be accessed on the Cancer Focus NI website at www.cancerfocusni.org. Cancer Focus Northern Ireland provides information and support to people worried about, or affected by cancer. For advice contact Nurseline on 0800 783 3339 which is available free from a landline from Monday to Friday, 9.00 am to 1.00 pm, or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
For more information on the signs and symptoms of cancer visit the PHA Be Cancer Aware website www.becanceraware.info. The website provides information about cancer signs and symptoms, explains what to do if you're concerned, and signposts to recommended sources of support or further information.

Heel spurs, pointed, bony outgrowths of the heel, are caused by localized soft tissue inflammation and can be located at the back of the heel or under the heel, beneath the sole of the foot. Plantar fascitis is associated with inflammation caused by heel spurs on the soles of the feet. Both conditions are treated with ice application and anti-inflammatory medications. Orthotics may also provide some relief.
Early signs of heel pain are usually due to plantar fasciitis, the inflammation of the plantar fascia. It is probably the most common cause of heel pain seen by the podiatrist. It is seen in all groups of people; runners, athletes, weekend warriors, people who have jobs requiring a fair amount of standing, walking, or lifting, and those who have recently gained weight. The pain most often manifests itself after periods of non-weight bearing when the plantar fascia is given a chance to rest, so your first steps cause a sudden strain to the tissue. Pain is most common with the first steps in the morning and after periods of rest. Fortunately, upwards of 80 percent of those treated early do remarkably well with conservative therapy.
The following symptoms are typical of heel spur. Stabbing pain when treading on the area affected. Dull, irregularly occurring pains in the heel area also without exerting pressure (e.g. in a reclining position) Pain when taking the first steps in the morning (after lying or sitting down for an extended period, especially in the morning) Occasional swelling in the ankle area. For the lower heel spur, extreme sensitivity at the tendon attachment (laterally in the lower heel area) For the upper heel spur, extreme pressure sensitivity of the Achilles tendon, primarily at approximately ankle height.
Heel spurs and plantar fasciitis is usually diagnosed by your physiotherapist or sports doctor based on your symptoms, history and clinical examination. After confirming your heel spur or plantar fasciitis they will investigate WHY you are likely to be predisposed to heel spurs and develop a treatment plan to decrease your chance of future bouts. X-rays will show calcification or bone within the plantar fascia or at its insertion into the calcaneus. This is known as a calcaneal or heel spur. Ultrasound scans and MRI are used to identify any plantar fasciitis tears, inflammation or calcification. Pathology tests may identify spondyloarthritis, which can cause symptoms similar to plantar fasciitis.
Non Surgical Treatment
Acupuncture and acupressure can used to address the pain of heel spurs, in addition to using friction massage to help break up scar tissue and delay the onset of bony formations. Physical therapy may help relieve pain and improve movement. The Feldenkrais method could be especially helpful for retraining some of the compensation movements caused by the pain from the spur. Guided imagery or a light massage on the foot may help to relieve some of the pain. Other treatments include low-gear cycling, and pool running. Some chiropractors approve of moderate use of aspirin or ibuprofen, or other appropriate anti-inflammatory drugs. Chiropractic manipulation is not recommended, although chiropractors may offer custom-fitted shoe orthotics and other allopathic-type treatments.
Surgical Treatment
More than 90 percent of people get better with nonsurgical treatments. If conservative treatment fails to treat symptoms of heel spurs after a period of 9 to 12 months, surgery may be necessary to relieve pain and restore mobility. Surgical techniques include release of the plantar fascia, removal of a spur. Pre-surgical tests or exams are required to identify optimal candidates, and it's important to observe post-surgical recommendations concerning rest, ice, compression, elevation of the foot, and when to place weight on the operated foot. In some cases, it may be necessary for patients to use bandages, splints, casts, surgical shoes, crutches, or canes after surgery. Possible complications of heel surgery include nerve pain, recurrent heel pain, permanent numbness of the area, infection, and scarring. In addition, with plantar fascia release, there is risk of instability, foot cramps, stress fracture, and tendinitis.

Our Horse & Pony Herds
Free to live the way nature intended
We are Passionate about our Horses and Ponies and want them to be Happy in the Job that they do .
We therefore give them everything they could possibly need including at least 2 days off per week, limited work hours per day, unlimited access to the best Haylage and feed they may need, the best Farrier & Veterinary support and a wonderful, caring team of staff and students devoted to their every need. But the best bit we think - is that we give them
The freedom to live in a Herd.
In our opinion (and we bet the Horse would agree), Horses and Ponies were not meant to spend day after day locked up in stables or small paddocks - Horses just want to socialise with other horses and would roam and graze naturally for between 18 and 22 hours a day if left to their own devices. Of course, we are fortunate to have the space and means to adopt this policy and the perfect Utopia is not available to all, but the results are amazing and you won't find more contented Horses and Ponies anywhere.
For 30 years we have been carefully selecting our Pony and Horse Herds and we graze them in Large paddocks seperated by type. There's always the odd scuffle but by and large they have become a family and have their own hierachy as you would find in nature. During the Winter months we do of course house them as required in stables,large Pens and Barns so they are always in close proximity to each other. This makes them happy and it makes them Calm and Relaxed when giving lessons in the Riding arenas, simply because they are content in their own company.
It's a Joy to see a Herd of Ponies galloping across an open field on a Sunday Evening after a busy weeks work in the Riding school. Our Horses and Ponies are content and Happy and that means that they are Perfect to teach beginners to Ride on.

Do you have fatty jowls or double chin and are you looking for an easy solution, consider KYBELLA NYC. An FDA approved injectable drug for fat reduction in the submental area under the chin, KYBELLA permanently zaps fat cells in the submental area and gives more definition to the jaw and neckline. Skilled cosmetic surgeons offer this double chin treatment in AAAASF-accredited surgical practices in NYC.
According to American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, a double chin is a concern that affects 68% of Americans. The condition can be caused due to weight gain, aging, or genetic factors. This injectable drug is a great solution as it allows you to achieve a sculpted jawline without undergoing any kind of surgery. KYBELLA double chin treatment involves making a synthetic deoxycholic acid injection into the treatment site. A naturally occurring molecule in the body, deoxycholic acid helps in breaking down and absorbing dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA destroys fat cells, resulting in a visible reduction in the fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, the cells cannot store or accumulate fat. This in-office procedure is much quicker and easier than after chin liposuction.
The procedure starts by numbing the treatment area with ice / cold packs or topical and/or injectable local anesthesia. KYBELLA is injected under the skin using a tine needle. Each in-office KYBELLA treatment session takes typically 15-20 minutes, with injections taking only 5 minutes. Usually multiple injections are needed to achieve good results. You can expect to see a noticeable change in your chin profile in two to four treatments and optimal outcomes in six sessions. Re-treatment is not necessary once you reach your desired goal.
Benefits of the procedure:
- Permanent fat dissolving solution to a heavy neck/jaw line
- No anesthesia and bandages are required
- Minimal discomfort
- Minimal downtime
- Minimal bruising and swelling
- Faster recovery
This injectable treatment is safe and requires minimal to no downtime. In clinical trials, most patients reported improvement in self-perception after the treatment, including feeling happier and younger, feeling less embarrassed and less bothered by submental fullness.
Though the procedure is nonsurgical, some bruising and swelling will occur,but won't last for long. Swelling usually last for as little as two days to as long as three weeks or more in people with larger volumes of treated fat and higher doses. As older patients tend to have more skin laxity, swelling may take longer to resolve than in those with tighter skin.
Not everyone is a good candidate for the procedure. Patients who have an infection in the area or are pregnant or breastfeeding cannot have the treatment. A good candidate is person with excess neck fat under the chin and has realistic expectations. The number of treatment sessions required would differ from individual to individual because everyone's chin profile is different.
If you are considering KYBELLA in NYC, find an AAAASF-accredited plastic surgery practice that has plastic surgeons who are skilled in performing this procedure. An experienced surgeon will evaluate your specific considerations and determine how many treatment sessions you would need to achieve your personal treatment goals.

To Mac 1 Air Gun store owner Tim McMurray, passion and a clear mindset are key to hitting any target. However, he believes that a field target and bench rest-competition airgun can hit the target just as well.
What began as a passionate hobby for McMurray's grandfather, Les McMurray, soon morphed into a full-fledged business for air gun assembly. Today, the company works out of Signal Hill at 1886 Freeman Ave.
McMurray followed in the footsteps of his grandfather. He grew to assemble and sell high-end air guns that are used to compete at both national and international levels.
"My grandfather started this company in 1932," he said. "It was the Great Depression era, and everybody was trying to figure out how to get some work."

Thousand Pound Idea
Reward: Lance can now craft high quality goods
Location: Homestead
Lance has had a brilliant idea, but has plans are on route and have been not delivered from the Postmaster in quite some time. He's like it if you went to New York to see what was taking them so long and to retrieve them. When you arrive in New York, go to the mission marker and the Postmaster will tell you that Patrick, the apprentice picked up the package. A scene will cut showing Patrick pass the pages to 2 other men who you will now have to loot to get them back. Kill the three of them however you like, but chances are that the British will be all over you as soon as you do, so you will need to lose the guards and then return to loot the body.
The Comeback
Reward: Big Dave can now craft higher quality goods
Location: Homestead
Talk to Big Dave at his shop and there will be a crowd of people there that are ready to take on the approaching British soldiers. There will be some explosive barrels around that you will have a bit of time to place of the path where the soldiers will arrive from. Place a few barrels down and then wait for the soldiers to arrive. Shoot the barrels and if timed properly, you will wipe out the entire group in one hit. Repeat for the next couple of waves of soldiers and you will easily pass this mission without Big Dave, Godfrey, Myriam, or Terry taking any damage.

"The expression a woman wears on her face is far more important than the clothes she wears on her back"
"People say I'm cocky, but am I supposed to sit here and be insecure and not know where my future's going or not realize that moviemaking is the greatest thing to happen to me?"
"If you want to win friends, make it a point to remember them. If you remember my name, you pay me a subtle compliment; you indicate that I have made an impression on you. Remember my name and you add to my feeling of importance."
"One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon-instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today."
"Really important goals are accomplished by people who will keep trying even when there seems to be no hope."
"The rare individual who honestly satisfies this heart-hunger (praise) will hold people in the palm of his hand, and even the undertaker will be sorry when he dies"

"You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime."
"Do you remember the things you were worrying about a year ago? How did they work out? Didn't you waste a lot of fruitless energy on account of most of them? Didn't most of them turn out all right after all?"
"Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves."

Chapter 21 (Teacher Linda)
After wandering around for a while, Zhao Tie Zhu and Li Ling Er finally found Building A of the Foreign Languages Department. It was a white gothic building, its walls engraved with a hint of European style. They found the main classroom. By this time, she had already let go of his arm; they walked into the room separately. About twenty people were already gathered there. Seeing others walk in the room, they all looked toward the entrance. When the female students saw Zhao Tie Zhu, they couldn't help but let out disappointed expressions. However, they were all shaken looking at Li Ling Er. Her beauty had practically already reached the degree that could kill both males and females. She gave friendly smiles toward the people in the classroom, and most smiled back in response.
Zhao Tie Zhu looked around the classroom for a moment. Among the two dozen people, only three of them were men, who at the moment were all looking at Li Ling Er with glowing eyes. Zhao Tie Zhu randomly picked a seat and sat down, and she sat next to him. A fat person walked smiling toward them from nearby and sat next to Zhao Tie Zhu as well, "Hello, fellow student. I'm Fan Jian from HB province. What about you?"
Fan Jian… Zhao Tie Zhu was speechless. This guy's name was even more impressive than his. "I'm Zhao Tie Zhu, from FQ," he said. (TL Note: Fan Jian's name sounds the same as 犯贱, which basically means "to commit lewd acts")
The fatty named Fan Jian stared for a moment and laughed, "Ha ha, our names really stand out and are unusual. By the way, who is this beautiful lady?"
"I'm Li Ling Er, from BJ," Li Ling Er replied with a smile. "My name isn't funny like you guys'." Still smiling, Fan Jian said, "Ah, from BJ. You're really beautiful."
"Thank you."
"Tie Zhu," asked Fan Jian, "which dorm do you live in?" This guy didn't really annoy him, so Zhao Tie Zhu replied, "We're both commuter students. My house is in FJ."
"Oh, I live in the school at the third dormitory room 308. There are two other people, Liu Ding and Zhou Shao. They live there with me. When you have the time, why don't you come to hang out?"
Several people also came in while Zhao Tie Zhu and Fan Jian were chatting. About an hour later, the classroom had more than 60 people. Then, a figure appeared at the classroom entrance, and the buzzing classroom suddenly quieted down. It turned out to be a girl with a figure comparable to Li Ling Er, only she bore an arrogant look. When she came in, she swept a gaze at the classroom for a while. But, when her gaze met Li Ling Er, her expression changed slightly before returning to normal. In that split second, Zhao Tie Zhu had noticed a hint of hostility in her eyes.
She walked to a seat and sat down without saying anything to the others. She put her bag on the table, revealing a Louis Vuitton logo. The surrounding girls looked at it with glittering eyes. Her mouth twitched with a smile. Then, she took an IPhone 4 out of her bag and played with it, which also caused admiration among many of the others. (TL Note: This chapter was written back in 2011, and at that time, IPhone 4 was the latest model.)
More and more people filled the classroom, the vast majority being females. Including Zhao Tie Zhu, there were only about 20 male students. At that moment, a woman dressed in a formal black suit walked into the room holding a folder. When she stood on the stage, one by one the people in the room quit their chatting and looked at her. Zhao Tie Zhu squinted his eyes; she looked to be about 170 cm in height. Including her high heels, she might as well be close to 180 cm. She wore red-framed glasses, and her hair was neck long. Her sexy lips were red like the devil himself. Her face was oval, and at the corner of her mouth was a small mole, which made this woman looked even more appealing. She wore a white shirt beneath her black suit. Her full ample breasts pushed against the shirt, revealing gaps between the buttons to show a hint of fire-red color inside. Below, she wore a short black skirt, just to the knee. Her legs were smooth and round, with a pair of black high heels down there. As soon she appeared, she had already attracted everyone's attentions. Although her figure could be compared with Li Ling Er's, her sex appeal was much more than Li Ling Er's. If Li Ling Er were to be a flower bud, then this woman would be an already blossomed red rose; beautiful and sexy, just waiting for her owner to pick.
"Hello, everyone," the woman said in a flat, but very charming voice. Her sound was a little sharp, which wouldn't make someone uncomfortable, but instead, they would feel willing to let their heart be stabbed. It was soft and pleasant. "I'm your foreign language teacher. You can call me Linda. Hopefully in the coming days, we can spend a good four years' time in college." The audience burst into applause, especially the men. They clapped loudly in the hope to attract Linda's attention. She smiled lightly, "Okay, it seemed that enough people are in attendance. First, I need someone to help me collect the admission notices. Is anyone willing to help me?"
"Me! Me! Me!" Almost all the guys raised their hands, including Fan Jian who sat beside Zhao Tie Zhu, who cried out vigorously. Zhao Tie Zhu helplessly shook his head and felt despise toward that kind of guys. Jeez, it was as if they had never seen a beauty.
"Wow, all of you are very enthusiastic. You're giving me a hard time. I really don't know who I should pick." Linda frowned slightly, causing the guys to become even more chaotic.
"Well, I'll just randomly pick a name then." She picked up the attendance list, scanning it and shouted, "Zhao Tie Zhu, could you help me to collect them?" Zhao Tie Zhu was dumbfounded; this Linda really knew who to pick; she picked the only guy who didn't even raised his hand. He felt a bit depressed. Feeling the murderous looks around him, he exclaimed, "Ma'am, I'm currently busy."
"Oh?" Linda looked at Zhao Tie Zhu with astonishment. She had picked his name because its meaning seemed relatively straightforward, but to her surprise, he refused to help her. Was he not a man at all? "Student Zhao," said Linda, "please help me out. I'll make it worth your while…" She blinked at Zhao Tie Zhu, her eyes revealing a hint of temptation.
"This… Since teacher insists, then I'll help you with it." Zhao Tie Zhu had intended to keep a low profile, but it seemed that the more she got rejected, the more she would desire. He might as well comply for now, being aware of her flirtatious glance. Seeing the desire in her eyes, he really felt a rippling sensation rising up within.
He stood up and collected the admission notices starting from the first row. Seeing him, Li Ling Er wrinkled her nose as if to express her contempt for his lack of resolution. He just ignored it. As he collected the notices from the male students, he could sense the hatred within in their eyes, which he also ignored. The girl with the LV bag looked at him with hatred for a moment, then took the notice out of her bag, and threw it toward him. He collected it, ignoring her.
Soon, all the notices had been collected. He brought the thick stack of papers and placed it onto the podium. Linda smiled and thanked him who then looked at her puzzled. Linda wondered, "Student Zhao, is there anything else?"
"Teacher," Zhao Tie Zhu asked, "didn't you say it would be worth my while?"
"Oh, I almost forget about that. Well, how can I make it worth your while?" Replied Linda.
"How should I know?" he continued, "you're the one who said it. A teacher shouldn't back on her own words."
"Then I'll think about it, and we can find a time to discuss it in private." She emphasized the two words 'in private' with a serious tone. Once again, she threw a flirtatious glance at him. He wanted to get away, but she had killer skills and had already locked him down, trapping him helplessly. He then said, "Very well then."
When he got back to his seat, Li Ling Er pinched him and said, "Brother Tie Zhu, you're so easily swayed. No wonder you haven't been able to find a girlfriend. Girls can't feel secure around you."
Zhao Tie Zhu didn't know what to say…

Every woman wants to look and feel great regardless of the age.
You do not have to spent a lot of money to look good. All you need is to know some beauty secrets.
The first secret is to understand the importance of hydration. It is not important to know what type of skin do you have – whether dry, oily, normal or combine
If you want to invest in a nice cosmetics, buy a quality moisturizer for skin.
It is good to use the moisturizer and gentle facial cleanser.
This will prolong the youth look of your skin.
If your skin is dry, it is particularly important because it is aging faster and wrinkles are more noticeable.
If your twenty-fifth birthday has already passed, moisturizer gives you the protection you need to prevent premature aging.
Five Secrets for Beauty
Actually Quality moisturizer is a product which provides gentle care and hydration, which retains moisture in skin cells and help your skin to create humidity.
The second secret every woman should know is that sun protection cream is the best way to prolong youthful skin.
This is due to the fact that sun cream protects skin from harmful rays and it does not allow to grow old quickly.
The sun influences the production of collagen, without which the skin can not maintain naturaly softness, moisture and youth, and to prevent wrinkles.
If you frequently exposed to sunlight, wrinkles will appear much earlier on your face. It is suffician to be in the sun a few minutes a day for several years and there are wrinkles.
Besides wrinkles it leads to the appearance of freckles, pigmentation and capillary stars. The skin may look rough, baggy or emaciated – and all because of the sun.
When choosing a sunscreem, choose the protection factor of fifteen or more. You can apply sun cream on your face before applying skin foundation makeup.
Secret number three – choose carefully face cleaning resources. Do not overdo it with soap, especially if you wash your face more than twice daily.
If you wash your face more than twice a day, it destroys the lipid barrier that protects the skin and makes it healthy. When this happens the skin becomes dry and vulnerable.
Secret number four – use the right accessories when applying makeup.
You may have bought the most expensive and beautiful beauty cosmetics, but if you do not have the necessary accessories, the beautiful makeup will not good.
Brush should be very soft and made of material that will slide slightly on your skin.
If powder or shadows fall dawn from the brush before applying, replace the brush.
Secret number five – change your hair style and makeup every two years.
If you change you will always look younger than your age.
The same hairstyle and makeup for many years make the woman look older.

1995 Nissan 240SX SE 2.4L from North America
Endearing affection
Nothing but routine maintenance.
General Comments:
I bought the car as a commuter 9 years ago. Anyone who's ever owned a 240SX will understand what I mean when I say the car becomes more than just a car, there becomes an endearing affection to it. I soon stopped using it as a commuter and started to limit the miles I put on it. What you can never get over is how beautiful the car is. The lines are gorgeous very sexy and sleek. I have owned the car for over 9 years now, and I never get tired of driving it or looking at.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

| 18.5°C Belfast
Filming has started in Northern Ireland on a new work charting the unlikely friendship between Ian Paisley and Martin McGuinness.
Some of the first scenes shot in The Journey show the uncanny resemblance of big screen actors Timothy Spall and Colm Meaney to the region's political titans.
Spall puts on a convincing portrayal of the late Northern Ireland first minister and Democratic Unionist leader.
His head bent forward, and with broad shoulders under a tightly fixed gaze, he conjures the unmistakable posture of the former firebrand preacher turned power-sharing peacemaker.
Meaney as deputy First Minister McGuinness pulls off the ex-IRA commander's furrowed brow and unflinching demeanour, not to mention their matching curly hair.
Written by novelist and screenwriter Colin Bateman, the film centres on a fictional journey by one-time sworn enemies Paisley and McGuinness during a pivotal era in the peace process.
McGuinness once commanded the IRA in his native Derry and faced implacable opposition from the man at times dubbed Dr No and whose best known phrase was "never, never, never".
But Paisley eventually said yes - to sharing power with Sinn Fein in 2007 - and ushered in what some characterised as a groundbreaking moment in British and Irish history.
The DUP leader became first minister with Mr McGuinness as his deputy.
Their burgeoning friendship was evident at the many public functions which they attended together, leading to them being dubbed the "Chuckle Brothers".
Filming is taking place in and around Belfast.
Toby Stephens plays prime minister Tony Blair while Freddie Highmore is cast as Jack, a young government employee tasked with driving Paisley and McGuinness on their journey.
Oscar-nominated John Hurt stars as Harry, an accomplished veteran political fixer overseeing the St Andrews Agreement.
