Q: Drupal6: In theme_preprocess_page(&$vars), where do $vars come from? (How to manipulate breadcrumb) I want to remove the breadcrumb when it's just one entry ("Home"). I'm in my theme's theme_preprocess_page(&$vars) function. $vars['breadcrumb'] is available, but it's just HTML. This is a bit to clumsy to work with. I'd rather get it as an array of items in the breadcrumb list, and do something like this:
if (count($breadcrumb) == 1) {
    unset($breadcrumb);
}

Where does $vars come from? How can I override the code creating it originally?

A: A $vars array is passed on between all preprocess functions. In case of the _preprocess_page functions, most of the values in $vars are created in template_preprocess_page (see http://api.drupal.org/api/function/template_preprocess_page/6). In that function, you'll see:
  $variables['breadcrumb']        = theme('breadcrumb', drupal_get_breadcrumb());

Here, drupal_get_breacrumb returns an array of breadcrumb elements, which is then themed by the theme_breadcrumb() function (or its override).
The easiest way to get what you want is to override the theme_breadcrumb function. To do that, you take the original theme_breadcrumb function (http://api.drupal.org/api/function/theme_breadcrumb/6), copy it to your template.php, replace 'theme' in the function name with the name of your theme and alter the code so it looks like this:
function THEMENAME_breadcrumb($breadcrumb) {
  if (count($breadcrumb) > 1) { // This was:  if (!empty($breadcrumb))
    return '
'. implode(' » ', $breadcrumb) .'
';
  }
}

For a better understanding of Drupal theme overrides and preprocess functions, see About overriding themable output and Setting up variables for use in a template (preprocess functions).

Farm Campus
Jackie Milne, the President of NFTI, is a local Hay River Métis woman with over 20 years of successful market gardening. Her business started as a way to safely provide for her family, but soon Jackie noticed how interested other people were in what she was doing. When she was hired to run workshops and travel to 13 communities around the Northwest Territories, she truly discovered the depth and breadth of learning that Northerners needed. People wanted to know 'How can we feed ourselves?' and this is not a question easily answered in a short 2 hour workshop without a demonstration garden!
NFTI grew out of this grassroots need for authentic northern food production education for our isolated communities. When Jackie Milne came up with the concept and laid out a detailed and ambitious long-term plan for truly empowering people of the north to restore our local food systems, it was a labour of love. NFTI was born, and instead of sending experts into communities, the idea was to invest in local people who will become the experts for their community by building their capacity through indepth hands-on learning experiences in 'living classrooms'. Throughout the first season of workshops, we were overwhelmed with the response from students to this strategy; they not only understood more about food production in the North, they actually had the skills and tools needed to begin businesses they are passionate about, learn about healthy and nutritional food, start alleviating the anxiety of food insecurity in their communities.
In September of 2013, the United Nations published their Trade and Environment Review 2013 "Wake Up Before it is Too Late: Make Agriculture Truly Sustainable for Food Security in a Changing Climate". This report recommends a rapid and significant shift in agriculture and the practical ways to accomplish this align with the Northern Farm Training Institute:
"The transition from an energy-intensive form of agriculture […] to a system that builds productive ecosystem services to sustain multifunctional, suitable, resilient, viable and equitable agriculture requires major new investments in institutions and infrastructure. This inevitably requires the creation of new research centres and initiatives, which should be dedicated to research, education and extension under a fully participatory system that will also favour women and cover ecosystem services, organic farming, agroecology and agroforestry. The ultimate aim of those centres and initiatives should be the transformation of the present agricultural research system at national, regional and international levels to cater to the needs of a new agricultural paradigm." – page 175 United Nations, March 2013
In March 2014, Jackie was asked to present at the Agriculture Canada AgriRisk Conference in Ottawa where she had a chance to share the NFTI dream of building a dedicated permanent farm campus based on the recommendations from the United Nations report.
Later in March, the Council of Canadian Academies published their report "Aboriginal Food Security in Northern Canada: An Assessment of the State of Knowledge." NFTI is mentioned in this very important report as one of the current 'Promising Practices to Build Food Security, Food Sovereignty, Health and Wellness with a Multidisciplinary Approach'.
NFTI began conversations with the Town of Hay River Economic Development Officer in the summer of 2013 to discuss the concept of the NFTI working farm and a potential site for the farm campus. In February 2014 the Town of Hay River completed their "Hay River Sustainable Agriculture Plan" which recommends actively supporting the development of a centre for agriculture incubation along with other recommendations to support education and communication of agriculture in Hay River.
The atmosphere was right for this type of a project in Hay River and with some dedicated work, we also secured the financial support needed to make the development of the farm campus a reality! In August 2014 during his Northern Tour, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency funding of $2 million over 2 years for NFTI. We had the opportunity to show him and his accompanying ministers around our students' garden plots in the Fort Smith Community Gardens and explain the long-term benefits of investing in sustainable agriculture and ongoing educational support for new farmers.
With this support, and a partnership with the Town of Hay River to lease an abandoned property previously owned by Northern Pork, NFTI began our ambitious task: transform an abandoned industrial pig barn site with 20 years of debris and neglect into a training and research centre which could support our vision. We repaired roads, restored power to the site, removed derelict buildings and cleaned up industrial waste. We recovered and recycled thousands of dollars worth of materials and infrastructure and moved forward in building accommodations, classrooms, offices, a store, industrial kitchen, greenhouses and barn. At the same time, we trained northerners through intensive experiential courses. We now have a complete campus with all the facilities required and are continuing to develop more and grow to meet the needs of our local community and northern farmers.
In November of 2016, Jackie was honoured with the Meritorious Service Medal. This award is given by the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, on behalf of Her Majesty The Queen to recognize her outstanding contributions to our country. She will be traveling with her family to Ottawa to formally receive this medal in June. Jackie also has recently been sponsored by a private foundation to attend the Global Food Summit "Sequestering Carbon in Soil: Addressing the Climate Threat" in Paris, France in May.

Michigan State tops rival Michigan for Big Ten Tournament title
Dylan Buell / Getty Images Sport / Getty
CHICAGO (AP) Matt McQuaid scored a career-high 27 points, Cassius Winston converted the go-ahead layup in the closing minute, and No. 6 Michigan State rallied to beat No. 10 Michigan 65-60 for its sixth Big Ten Tournament championship on Sunday.
The top-seeded Spartans (28-6) rallied from a 13-point deficit in the second half and scored the game's final 10 points to capture their first championship since 2016. No other program has won the tournament as many times as Michigan State, and this one was particularly sweet.
After all, the Spartans prevented a championship three-peat by Michigan (28-6) and beat their rivals for the third time this season.
McQuaid nailed a personal-best seven 3-pointers. Winston, the Big Ten Player of the Year, had 14 points and 11 assists as Michigan State won for the 10th time in 11 games. The Spartans were awarded a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament and will face Bradley in the second round on Thursday in Des Moines, Iowa.
Ignas Brazdeikas led Michigan with 19 points. Jordan Poole scored 13. Jon Teske had 10 points and 10 rebounds. Zavier Simpson added 10 assists.
But the third-seeded Wolverines fell again to Michigan State after blowing their chance to win the league by losing to their rivals twice in the final four regular-season games.
Michigan led by 13 early in the second half, but Michigan State went on a 13-4 run to tie it at 48 with just over seven minutes remaining.
The Wolverines were up 60-55 after Livers hit a 3 with 2:29 left. But McQuaid answered with one of his own to start the game-ending run and Xavier Tillman made a tying layup for Michigan State.
After Simpson missed a 3 for Michigan, Winston drove to his left for a layup to put the Spartans on top 62-60 with 28 seconds left.
Brazdeikas then missed a pull-up jumper that got tipped by Aaron Henry with 14 seconds to play. Teske and Tillman went up for the rebound, the ball got tipped out of bounds and the referees gave possession to Michigan State after a review as Michigan coach John Beilein screamed on the sideline.
Henry made a free throw and missed hit the second, making it a three-point game. Poole then appeared to get bumped by Winston - Michigan State had a foul to give - as he launched a long 3 off the dribble, but there was no call.
The Spartans' Kenny Goins hit two free throws to make it 65-60 with two seconds left.
Michigan State forward Kyle Ahrens was taken from the court on a stretcher with a left leg injury in the first half.
Michigan: The Wolverines have their sights set on another big NCAA run after losing to Villanova in the championship game last year.
Michigan State: The Spartans head to the tournament with high hopes, though their rotation figures to be a little thinner after Ahrens went down.
Michigan: NCAA Tournament.
Michigan State: NCAA Tournament.

She's been facing bullies her whole damn career.
Hillary Clinton knows how to handle boy bullies and all the sexist mess they bring to the table.
So expect her to keep her chill on Monday night, when she faces off with Donald Trump, the most blatant misogynist to ever grace the presidential debate stage.
The gender dynamics going into this first widely anticipated debate are so loaded and unsubtle, it's almost comical. But, essentially, Clinton's been prepping for this moment for the entirety of her career ― from at least the time she had to face down hostile comments when she was taking the bar exam to some infamously charged moments in debates during her Senate run in 2000 and her failed presidential bid in 2008.
Like any woman who's spent her entire career navigating through male-dominated corridors, Clinton's become fairly adept at turning blatant and subtle sexism to her advantage.
In a 2008 debate with Barack Obama ahead of the New Hampshire primaries, Clinton was asked to comment on why voters liked her opponent more than her.
Clinton smiled. "Well, that hurts my feelings," she said. "But I'll go on." Her eyes reflected only amusement. When a few seconds later Obama went on to interrupt her and say "you're likable enough Hillary," she did a kind of cute little chair dance. But he comes off as more than a little patronizing and the moment is considered one of Obama's stumbles during that campaign.
The moment also likely helped to propel Clinton to win the New Hampshire primary.
The "likability" issue is at this point widely acknowledged to be a question no male candidate would face. Did anyone question John McCain's personality in 2008? Did anyone ask about Trump's likability in the 2016 GOP primaries?
Deflecting or calling out sexist treatment is Clinton's special talent in debates, a provocative piece argues on Quartz. Instead of shrinking away from sexism, she's tended to respond in a highly sympathetic and, yes, likable way.
There's the now legendary moment in her 2000 run for the Senate, (around 1 minute into the above video) when her opponent, Congressman Rick Lazio, made the mistake of crossing the debate stage, urging Clinton to sign a pledge on soft money and even wagging his finger at her. Played endlessly afterward, Lazio was portrayed as a sexist bully, as this piece in Mother Jones notes. Lazio now says that the moment doomed him. He lost to Clinton by a wide margin.
I don't think it's so obvious to these guys ― remember they play almost constantly with other men. Politics in the U.S. is a boys club. Men occupy more than 80 percent of the seats in Congress. Men hold the majority of governorships. There's never been a woman president. Clinton is one of only 46 women to have been a senator since the founding of the U.S.
Male politicians simply aren't very practiced when it comes to working with women. Clinton on the other hand has spent essentially her entire life navigating male spheres.
Her decision to not change her name from Rodham to Clinton is considered a major factor in her husband losing his bid for governor of Arkansas in 1980. Bill Clinton's opponent Frank White made pointed references to his wife, Mrs. Frank White, throughout the race, as Lisa Lerer writes for the AP. Two years later, when her husband ran for office again, Hillary changed her last name.
She's been beat up in a host of other gendered ways since then ― for daring to work and raise a kid, for possibly disparaging cookie making, for her husband's infidelity. And even, for not looking presidential.
If you go back and look at interviews with Clinton, she is asked questions that no man would have to stomach.
Of course, we can't predict with any certainty that Clinton will best Trump on Monday night. He's a total wild card. And though he lacks political experience, he knows his way around the TV screen.
Besides, sexism isn't the only play the reality TV star has up his sleeve. Clinton is vulnerable on other issues, of course. She hasn't always handled questions about, say, her email so gracefully.
But when it comes to the sexist tropes Trump likes to trade in ― calling women fat pigs, or breastfeeding disgusting, or saying they're better off at home ― Trump isn't actually offering up anything new to Clinton. He's perhaps the purest distillation of decades of piling on.
Clinton's gender radar is a finely honed instrument ― and her mettle has been repeatedly tested. So it's no surprise she's got a track record of turning insults and casual, unconscious sexism to her advantage. If she wasn't able to do that ― she'd be at home in Chappaqua baking cookies.

There are multiple difficulty levels, each one changing Keydron to become more complex shapes. Occasionally, crystals appear in gaps in the wall, which will give the player bonus points when collected. Players play for a high score.

Reception

ThruSpace received above-average reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Eurogamers Kristan Reed called the game "relatively simple", but still praised the game's difficulty.

Sequel
ThruSpace received a sequel on the Nintendo 3DS, called Ketzal's Corridors. It follows the same gameplay loop of ThruSpace, but with a more distinct art style.

The Energeia Museum opened on the premises of the power station in 1986. In this museum one could see preserved steam engines and steam turbines, along with many documents and books from 1900-1960. The museum was completely open to the public and very popular in its early years.
In 1990 there were talks between the three Belgian suppliers, from which a large merger between Ebes, Intercom and Unerg arose. Electrabel was born. While Intercom and Ebes were fully integrated into the new company, Unerg maintained a few more plants in its own name. It later changed its name to Powerfin, in order to continue expanding its activities abroad.
After changes in the agreements on public relations, the management of Electrabel decided in 2000 to close the Museum Energeia. In 2001, no less than 180 running meters (or 3584 records) were moved to archives to ensure safe storage.
But the end of the electricity production in Langerbrugge, apparently got a painful outcome when in 2012 the demolition of the plant started. The older buildings were completely destroyed, including all installations and the more modern buildings are currently being dismantled. Nothing of its historical value was retained. Despite the fact that a large part of the archive in the Energeia museum had already been moved to another location, a whole bunch of paperwork and machines remained behind. Unfortunately, (copper) thieves already got their chance to strike their battle, so that all exhibited machines, including a 1912 compound steam engine that was previously in perfect condition, had been destroyed on their search for copper and other useful materials. The Brown Boveri turbines were completely disassembled and copper was removed. Measuring equipment and control panels were stolen. Almost all museum pieces, including a whole section classified as monument – transformers, control switches, alternators – have been completely destroyed. The remaining documents from the former Ebes archive from 1900-1960 were destroyed.

Copyright batte over 'unauthorized' Catcher in the Rye commentary
Jim Lindgren has an interesting post over at Volokh.com concerning the legal battle over a book that may or may not be characterized by some as an unauthorized sequel to "Catcher in the Rye".
Be sure to read it here.
This case brings up a number of issues:
First, it exposes the lie that is perpetuated in the legal community that copyright laws don't protect "ideas", but rather only the "concrete expression" of ideas. In practicality, this statement is pure nonsense as evidenced by the fact that a copyrighted work seals in monopoly protections of "characters" and "derivative works" - even if such derivative works don't include any actual "copying" of cloned material from the underlying work.
For instance, if I feel that I have a far better script or storyline that utilizes the character of James Bond, but without utilizing any previous cloned image from a Bond film and without copying previously used dialogue beyond a minimal instance of "My name is Bond...James Bond." or "Shaken...not stirred.", I still would not be able to create it, because Ian Flemming's estate and/or Sony Pictures, etc. has a monopoly over the IDEA of James Bond.
I would argue that by protecting "derivative" works, copyright effectively asserts control over ideas - except for those envisioned at the most abstract levels.
Second, this case also illustrates just how slippery (and I would argue, unsustainable) current fair use concepts are that try to differentiate between "criticism", "parody" and academic explorations of previous literary works versus competing concepts such as "satire" and unauthorized "derivative works" that may contain some vestiges of the previously mentioned fair use categories.
How will "Coming Through The Rye" be classified if it functions as both a "derivative work" of "Catcher in the Rye" as well as literary criticism and history concerning the creation of the same?
Third, this case seems to be another instance of where the judiciary throws out their usual rules regarding prior restraints against free speech when it comes to mere (unproven) allegations of IP infringement. Courts will not allow prior restraints in libel cases. They didn't even allow it in the famed Pentagon Papers case which involved allegations of breaches of national security. But when it comes to protecting IP whenever somebody shouts "copyright" - judges too often seem to ignore free speech concerns.
Eugene Volokh wrote a great law paper on this issue. I'd advise checking it out here:
http://www.law.ucla.edu/volokh/copyinj.htm
I remember once being lucky enough to come across a copy of "The Wind Done Gone" during a time when a federal judge had enjoined its publication through a temporary restraining order - essentially declaring it unlawful to own and distribute due to copyright complaints from the Margaret Mitchell estate. I purchased it, and secretly horded it away as though I was living through some twisted version of "Fahrenheit 451". I thought it might remain on the list of "banned books" in the U.S. As it turned out however, the copyright case over it was settled, and the book was eventually "allowed" to published.
Perhaps the proper solution is the same one utilized in "Fahrenheit 451". When a rebellious populous was faced with a nation of "firemen" whose job it was to burn all books, each person was given the task of committing a book to memory in order to orally recite it later to others, thus circumventing the state by placing the books in the one area it could not reach - the human mind.
On second thought, that won't work. Current copyright laws prevent the unauthorized "performance" of copyrighted works - including recitals.
Beware the current crop of "firemen" looking to set the nation's Rye fields ablaze....

Лесопа́рк — расположенный в черте города или иного населённого пункта лесной массив естественного или частично искусственного происхождения, служащий для кратковременного отдыха. Размер лесопарка составляет обычно от нескольких сотен до 2—3 тысяч гектаров и более. Обычно лесопарки располагают в пригородах, в местах с хорошей транспортной доступностью. При создании лесопарка проводят реконструкцию зелёных насаждений, агролесомелиоративные работы, реконструкцию или создание водоёмов, прокладывают дорожки и тропинки, размещают оборудование для отдыха и так далее.

В лесопарках могут организовываться различные мероприятия и формы отдыха: экскурсии, туризм, пикники и барбекю, рыбная ловля, занятие различными видами уличного летнего и зимнего спорта. В отличие от парка, в лесопарке допускается сбор грибов, ягод и декоративных растений, но запрещена охота, заготовка сена и выпас скота. Сбор технических и лекарственных растений требует наличия специального разрешения.

В отличие от дикого лесного массива, в лесопарке обеспечивается предотвращение деградации лесных насаждений. Для этого осуществляется регулирование и распределение количества посетителей лесопарка, проводятся работы по сохранению подлеска, подроста, повышению жизнестойкости древостоя. Основной упор делается на санитарно-гигиенические и эстетические свойства зелёных насаждений, выращивание древесины для лесозаготовок не относится к приоритетным задачам лесопарка. Также осуществляют работы по предупреждению деградации почвы, при необходимости вносят удобрения.

В лесопарке проводят благоустройство — обустраивают сеть дорожек и открытые пространства, создают игровые, детские и спортивные площадки, места отдыха. Проводят ландшафтные рубки, высаживают ландшафтные деревья и кустарники, устраивают кормушки для птиц и зверей, зимой завозят корм для животных.

The Next Step for UAE/China
Following President Xi's visit to the UAE last week, the two countries have an opportunity to leverage their shared interests in emerging technologies
By Xische Editorial, July 25, 2018

President Xi arrived in Abu Dhabi last Thursday for a state visit—the first by a Chinese head of state in almost 30 years—designed to reinforce the already hefty economic and cultural ties between China and the UAE. However, his visit may have missed a broader opportunity to leverage the two countries' shared interest in emerging technologies—namely artificial intelligence, blockchain, and ICT infrastructure. Unsurprisingly, energy investment and the ambitious Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) featured heavily during President Xi's three-day trip. The flurry of announcements included a partnership and investment agreement in the world's largest solar energy project, two memorandums of understanding to enhance e-commerce ties and greater cooperation at the China International Import Expo, and several extensive energy agreements.
The UAE stands to profit from translating China's ever-expanding trade interests in the region to those grounded in emerging technology. Indeed, the two countries already have a strong track record of collaboration on technology initiatives, including the YVOLV data centre, a project by Meeras and Alibaba, along with the MBR Solar Park, which is run by DEWA and the Silk Road Fund. Pairing Chinese talent with UAE test environments would support the development of everything from AI technology and blockchain to telecoms in both countries and accelerate global development.

AI systems are heavily dependent on data. China's ability to harness the large volume of data emanating from its billion-plus citizens is one of its natural advantages in the field. The BRI's trade networks across the emerging world present a valuable data proposition for China. Not only can Beijing expand its influence through the creation of analogue infrastructure such as bridges, tunnels, and railroads, but the country can also expand its technology footprint.
China is betting big on becoming a leader in high tech innovation. In July 2017, China announced a development plan to become the global leader in artificial intelligence, including a $2.1bn technology park in Beijing dedicated to AI research. With homegrown mega-companies such as Baidu and Tencent already leading the global AI race, China is well-positioned to achieve this goal. The UAE is a slightly different case. While the UAE announced its strategy for AI in October 2017, coupled with investment in AI projected to surpass $8bn by the end of 2017, the country is still in the process of developing or recruiting the right talent to deliver on the UAE's AI goals. By leveraging Chinese technological expertise, the UAE can rapidly grow its AI expertise. Meanwhile, the Chinese will benefit from the optimal testing ground for AI solutions that the UAE provides with access to high-quality engagement points of over 200 nationalities that call the UAE home.
On ICT infrastructure, particularly high-speed and broadband internet, the UAE could - and should - step in. China has been successful in selling smartphones outside of the mainland with companies such as Transsion and Huawei dominating smartphone sales across African and Asian markets. Meanwhile, through telecoms companies such as Etisalat, the UAE has experience in several markets along the BRI.
The conditions are ripe for a UAE-China partnership on blockchain development, an area that certainly warrants further investigation. The UAE has an established track record on blockchain with the Dubai government taking the lead and pushing for blockchain to be used in the public sector. Likewise, China has expressed interest in using blockchain to improve governance.
Working together with Chinese researchers and companies, the UAE could build on its alliance with China to expand blockchain research around the world. As Xische's strategy advisor, Mary Ames, recently argued in Gulf News, "Analysts predict that Chinese officials are setting the stage for a new blockchain strategy. If so, then China will soon join the UAE in shifting all applicable government transactions to local and federal blockchains. Given China's influence on the blockchain industry, such a move is likely to have a profound impact on the trajectory of the evolving technology."
Technological innovation requires the ability to quickly draw on the best talent from across the globe. The UAE has an opportunity to translate its strategic relationship with China on the BRI to an important partnership on emerging technologies like AI, blockchain, and ICT infrastructure. President Xi's visit to the UAE is proof positive that both countries have much to gain from such a strategic bilateral relationship. Now is the time to take it to the next level.

2022 Mazda RX 7 Changes, Interior, HP
Posted on April 23, 2022 by Al Connie R. Mitchell
2022 Mazda RX 7 Changes, Interior, HP – Mazda did not state once the generation automobile will get to showrooms. Still, it appears that the subsequent-gen RX-7's progress is determined by how fast the technical engineers can think of a dependable and energy-successful Wankel powerplant. More information ought to grow to be offered in 2016. However, right up until you're doing, we made an offering in the manufacturing automobile, together with a thoughtful inspection regarding what the subsequent-gen RX-7 may well provide the kitchen table.
2022 Mazda RX 7 Changes
2022 Mazda RX 7 Engine
2022 Mazda RX 7 Price and Release Date
Just like most concept cars, the RX-Sight goes via some adjustments before it will become a generation automobile. Our supplying depicts a somewhat well developed directly down variation in the Tokyo examine, provided with various creation-pleasant capabilities.
Our designer started away by supplying the RX-Eyesight a higher roof structure. While the idea is hostile having its very low roofline, the function isn't likely, therefore it will be around the production automobile, mainly because it would influence both mind and arm distance. Luckily, the concept does not seem to eliminate a lot of its attractive dimensions using a bigger roofing, a significantly less raked entrance windscreen, an apparent B-pillar, and stainless windows encompass. Other changes towards the car's user profile include fabricating entry care of, a rather larger grille from the front side fender, along with brand new multiple-spoke rims.
At the beginning, we rely on typically the 2022 Mazda RX 7 Changes, Interior, HP to obtain an adjusted grille and fender in addition to a new sort of headlamps. While the total size and shape in the production grille need to keep comparable, the apparatus will most likely be given a stainless encompass and additionally the side to side panels observed on all current Mazdas. Listed under, the fender area intakes are a bit bigger on your creating, as the splitter together with the middle segment continued to be unaffected. The headlamps ought to make the most changes as the concept's slim apparatus are far too amazing for any generation engine car. Buthowever, the reduction area will probably rely on Mazda's present headlamp layout; the top, curved Directed strip may find its way around the generation automobile. Finally , we rounded out your creation providing using a standard hood as well as a Mazda logo in the nasal space, while removing the one from the grille.
Considering the rear end from the RX-Perspective isn't specifically wilderness, Mazda will probably maintain many of the features in the creation of coupe. The specific RX-7, however, might find an improved tailgate, somewhat re-designed taillights without a"hovering" spoiler, along with various diffusers.
Compared to a lot of concept autos, the RX-Eyesight got a neat and basic interior that may go into generation these days. Nevertheless, Mazda will, in all likelihood, alter a couple of things sometimes, for example, device group, the entranceway panels, along with the center unit. The next will probably get the maximum changes since the 2022 Mazda RX 7 Changes, Interior, HP will get a typical middle pile with different control keys along with knobs. A good infotainment system, as well as a big screen, also need to be additional. However, it actually remains to be noted if the screen will be fitted in addition to the dashboard – like found in several present-day Mazda automobiles – or contained in the middle bunch. Additionally, search for multiple-work controls together with a lot more comprehensive tool cluster powering it.
In terms of the larger quantities of leather-based and lightweight aluminum inserts observed in typically the notion goes, assume that these folks to be around on increased trims. Similar to the MX-5, the specific RX-7 should be a little bit more cost-effective when compared with its rivals, which means the entrance-stage layout will function much less or no leather material at all. Nonetheless, the cottage should consider looking athletic and are offered in only two-sculpt combos across the bottom variation at exactly the same time.
Typically the drivetrain is certainly the RX-7's main secret to date, as Mazda has absolutely nothing to say regarding the engine apart from the proven fact that it will probably be a Wankel and also referred to as the SkyActiv-R. A company agent, even so, suggested that this would use turbocharging, and this the sport vehicle will probably be geared towards the particular Porsche Cayman. Considering the German coupe comes combined with at minimum 275 horsepower in basic toned, the 2022 Mazda RX 7 Changes, Interior, HP, which is less heavy when compared with the Cayman approximately 2,700 pounds, would want no less than 250 horses to make an impact in this particular region of interest. Assume 0 -to-60 miles per hour run of about 5 moments in addition to a top-rated velocity of a minimum of 150 miles per hour.
It is absolutely too soon to talk about cost ranges, but it is secure to believe that this RX-7 can become Mazda's priciest thing in the present collection. The previous decal label is set by a lot of aspects. On the other hand, the sport vehicle will likely cost more when compared to $35,000 from the basic clip.

According to LITRA, the Swiss covered more distance by train than anyone else in the world in 2014. An average Swiss resident covered 2,288 km by train, more than twice the distance of an average Brit (1,056 km). Even the French with their world-class high-speed TGV train network were well behind the Swiss with only 1,271 km of train travel for the year. Japan was a reasonably close second with an average of 2,042 km, probably not surprising to anyone who has travelled on Japan's space age high-speed Shinkansen trains with their aircraft-like interiors and serpentine features.
Swiss residents also made frequent trips, 59 being the 2014 average. On this measure the Swiss came in behind the Japanese with 72 trips annually. It seems the Japanese take more but shorter trips than the Swiss.
Other European countries sit well behind Switzerland on both measures. Austria is in second place in Europe on average per capita distance with 1,378 km, well behind Switzerland's 2,288 km. On frequency Luxembourg is second in Europe with 40 train journeys per resident per annum, only a little over two thirds the number for Switzerland. On this measure Britain achieves less than half the Swiss number with an average of 26 trips over the year.
Both Swiss and Japanese trains have a reputation for running on time. Could there be a connection?

Miami, FL – March 19, 2019 – The Global Wellness Summit (GWS), the foremost gathering of international leaders in the $4.2 trillion global wellness economy, today announced that Irene Forte, wellness director for Rocco Forte Hotels and daughter of Sir Rocco Forte, British hotelier and philanthropist, will join its Advisory Board. Forte oversees the wellness strategy and offerings for the 14 Rocco Forte Hotels, has just launched Irene Forte Skincare, and has won awards for her achievements as a rising young entrepreneur. And she will be instrumental in helping the GWS address the powerhouse demographic in the wellness industry: millennials.
Forte oversees the wellness proposition for the Rocco Forte Hotels group, which operates award-winning luxury hotels across Europe and has had recent openings in Saudi Arabia and China. Founded by her father Sir Rocco Forte, knighted for services to the UK tourism industry and a recipient of the highest Italian accolade, the Gran Croce dell'Ordine al Merito della Repubblica Italiana, the success of their hotel group demonstrates how intergenerational collaboration and management can be a unique force in helping businesses embrace new generations of consumers. Her new skin-care line, Irene Forte Skincare, has been described by Tatler as "beauty with a conscience… as kind to your skin as it is to the planet." Handmade in Italy with ingredients from the family's organic farm in Sicily, the entire range is vegetarian, free from artificial colors and fragrances, and sustainably packaged with recycled materials.
In 2015, Irene Forte was awarded government funding to create a careers app (Map My Future) designed to attract and retain a younger, more tech-savvy workforce—which has been available at the hotel group since 2016. She was awarded the 2016 Rising Star Shine Award and an Acorn "30 under 30" award (given to the brightest prospects in the hospitality industry) in 2017. A very popular keynote speaker at the Summits in 2016 and 2018, her talk "Millennials: Spoiled for Choice and Very Stressed—How to Attract this New Generation of Traveler" is one of the most downloaded in the conference's history.
The Global Wellness Summit is a conference for senior executives and wellness thought leaders; first-time delegates should apply to attend soon, as it's always a sellout event.

Prep Athlete of the Week: Cook critical to…
Prep Athlete of the Week: Cook critical to Durham High volleyball team
Durham High volleyball player Bethany Cook is the Prep Athlete of the Week.
By Joseph Shufelberger |
PUBLISHED: November 12, 2014 at 12:00 am | UPDATED: September 8, 2018 at 12:00 am
DURHAM >> Sometimes, statistics don"t tell the entire story, or even most of it.
The Durham High volleyball team was going to a fifth set at Hamilton in a Nov. 4 Sacramento Valley League match, and Trojans coach Noelle Keese decided to go against her standard move of subbing for Bethany Cook after the senior serves.
"I said, "We need her heart,"" Keese recalled telling her assistant. "/I"m going to leave Bethany on because I think her heart is going to make us win this game." We were just in a kind of funk that whole game. I really thought Bethany"s heart and leadership was going to make us win that game."
The Trojans won that fifth game and the match 21-25, 25-14, 21-25, 25-23, 15-13. Now, Durham (30-3) has time off this week as the No. 1 seed in the Northern Section Division V postseason field and awaits its next opponent for a contest at home Tuesday.
Keese said deviating from the norm was easy when it kept Cook where she was needed.
"Bethany has been our biggest leader this year," the Trojans" coach said. "She"s so vocal on the court and off the court, whether she"s playing or if she"s not playing. She is the loudest person. She"s constantly talking, encouraging. She"s always positive."
Cook is also among the team"s leaders in several statistical categories for Durham, which has not lost a match against divisional foes.
"I"ve been really surprised how people have stepped up," Cook said, as the Trojans have gotten even better after reaching the section final last year but lost some of their top players due to graduation. "We have confidence in each other. It"s all a team effort."
While Cook has been playing volleyball since she was 8 years old and wants to keep doing so if she can, she"s focused on extending this season as much as she can.
"If I can play somewhere, I"m definitely going to go there first," said Cook, who has a 3.6 GPA and is involved with Future Farmers of America in addition to playing softball. "I"m just really trying to make sure every practice counts. It"s my last year before maybe playing college, maybe not. I wanted to lay everything out on the court."

Ta-dah! Hell and Styx #13, where you get to see a snippet of Heaven's past and how he ended up as who he is today. The flashback story will take a few more posts to finish, but this one introduces the plot line.
Maybe that made things a little clearer. Or not. It might be better explained in the actual story. So I'll shut up and you should go read it already!
Likes and comments are always open. Also, check out Hell and Styx's new Pinterest board.
Heaven let himself vanish from purgatory, drifting back to the human world, his atoms breaking apart and then calmly reassembling themselves in front of a yellowing yard. He ran his hand through his hair and opened the gate, pacing through the dying grass to stand on the front porch.
He took a deep breath and held it, reminding himself that Hell was right. He didn't need to breathe. No one could see him. He was fake.
He wasn't corporal, so he couldn't knock. So he waited.
He remembered a thin girl with blonde hair with a stubborn chin and a freckled, upturned nose. He remembered the sweatshirt with her high school's mascot and the skinny jeans.
Back when his obsession with the human world was simply habit, a part of himself he had forgotten to erase when he stopped being human.
He liked being invisible. He would walk empty streets, leaving no trace, touching nothing, completely unable to screw anything up.
It was 10:00 p.m. and Heaven was walking aimlessly down residential streets, turning onto a street of shops that all closed at five, lost in his thoughts. Yesterday, he went to purgatory to sort a soul, but he knew he wouldn't need to go back for weeks. A nagging in his mind would alert him to the next soul of his, but they were rare.
Neither Hell nor Styx had seen him. That was by design. He didn't want the responsibility of being friends, of having to wait around for a person to die on him while they tirelessly did their individual missions.
The little girl had gone with him with no complaint. She was intrigued but not particularly scared, as were most of his dead. Her soul was blinding and clean, and Heaven caught himself lingering, not willing to release his drug of choice when he wouldn't get another hit for weeks.
Heaven was still remembering the pure rush of joy from the girl's soul, wishing the world had more good people, and that they'd have shorter life spans, jealous of his counterparts, with their cornucopias of dead, when he saw her. She was alone, hair blown across her face by a vanished breeze, hands in her pockets, not afraid, not lonely. Heaven paused to watch her walk toward him, taking in the beauty of her simplicity. She stopped to look in the window of an ice cream shop, pressing her face against the glass, then laughed to herself, free to be happy in the silence.
Then she turned to keep walking, and froze.
That was Heaven's first thought.
"Hey," Heaven said, more taken aback by her beauty than the obvious fact that she could see him.
She giggled, pausing beside him, waiting for him to fall into step with her.
His mind stuck somewhere between noticing her exact shade of lip gloss—light pink—and the fact that she could see him, did the only thing it could think off. It followed her.
"Aren't you cold?" she asked, looking at his collared shirt and dress pants.
A breeze whipped by and Heaven realized—it was cold. Like, really cold. How had he never noticed before?
Heaven was watching her face as they walked, but even if he had seen the sign outside the restaurant—declaring ALL ENTRES HALF PRICE ON TUESDAYS 3:00-6:00—he wouldn't have avoided it.
But today, he should have. Because today, he crashed into it.
The sign collapsed against itself and clattered into the ground. Heaven jerked to the right, trying not to step on it, bumping into the girl's sweatshirt. It was soft.
Heaven laughed, and wondered if he could eat now that he was solid.
Did this mean his duty was over?
Nostalgia swept through him like a draft, leaving him with the bitter taste of loneliness in his mouth.
"You okay?" she asked, noticing the change in his mood.
"Just reminded of something," Heaven said, shaking his head to get the thoughts out.
They turned onto the same street Heaven had come from, and the girl slowed her pace. Heaven let her, understanding her need to preserve the night.
They walked in silence, until the girl stopped in front of a lawn. Even in the dark, Heaven could tell it was lush and green.
"This is my stop," the girl said.
It looked human, was what Heaven wanted to say. It was normal, just like this girl, and tonight.
"Are we going to see each other again?" she asked.
"We're going to need to get you a nickname," Lilith promised.
And Lilith let herself into her house and Heaven left, walking straight through her trashcan left out on the street.
That was his first night with her.
Now, a year and a half later, Heaven stared at the door in front of him. He wasn't in the mood.
Not while he was remembering a different yard, and a different girl.
There were houses all across the continent, all across the world, that Heaven could visit. Where he had friendships. Where he could live.
But tonight, he knew the truth: he was never more than a ghost.
And the only person he wanted to see was already gone.


Yup that's right a tea cocktail! I heard about the idea when perusing the Adagio Tea website. It's my new favorite in Chicago. The store just off of the Mag Mile has probably 100 different teas which can be completely intimidating. However, the staff is fabulous! They walk you through and help you find the perfect tea. And let you try it! They will make any tea you want to try and for me it was several. I typically like an earthy, complex black tea and found a great keenum. But I also picked up some Wild Strawberry herbal tea. Which technically has no tea leaves in it but flowers, apples and berries. It's light and not overly sweet. A perfect base for a summer cocktail!
Easy, tasty and very refreshing. A Strawberry Tea-tail!
Easy tea cocktail that screams summer!
Prep tea by steeping in hot water for 5 minutes.
Cool tea in the fridge or freezer.
Put vodka and tea in the glass.

WBSC Softball Americas Qualifier Down To Final Six
(Photo courtesy of WBSC Americas)
The WBSC Softball Americas Qualifier is down to its final six teams with the Super Round beginning on Friday afternoon.
Puerto Rico and Mexico will open Super Round play when they go head-to-head in what should be the highlight of the Super Round.
Mexico won Group B with a perfect record, while Puerto Rico finished second in Group A after suffering a 3-0 loss to Canada.
Canada, Cuba, Brazil and Venezuela also moved through to the Super Round, while the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Peru and the Bahamas were all eliminated.
The top-two teams after the Super Round will earn an Olympic berth, which is why the first game is so crucial for Puerto Rico. Mexico's undefeated record through pool play earned it a slight advantage, as the two berths are determined by the best record and not an elimination format.
Mexico's Tori Vidales, Nicole Mendes and Brittany Cervantes have three of the top batting averages in the tournament, while Puerto Rico leads in the power game with Jena Cozza and Alyssa Rivera each leading the tournament in home runs with two each.
It wouldn't be a surprise if Puerto Rico uses Kamalani Dung, Aleshia Ocasio and Taran Alvelo in the circle, while Mexico may go with Dallas Escobedo.
Canada continues to roll through the tournament and is headed towards one of the two berths. The Canadians will face Venezuela on Friday before playing Mexico on Saturday and closing out the tournament on Sunday against Brazil.
3:30 p.m. Puerto Rico vs Mexico

Great space for this – on the wharf at Walsh Bay.
Art and wine. Wine and music. Music and art. All three share synergies, parallels, artistic ideals, the lot. Obviously wine is just a bit more cut and dried than the other two (arguably), yet the commonalities are unmissable (or at least I think so).
Given these commonalities then it's probably quite surprising that we don't see more art inspired by wine, especially given that the stereotypical artist drinks plenty of the stuff (particularly at gallery openings) and is probably particularly inspired when influenced by wine. Yet we rarely see much in the way of art dedicated to wine.
Penfolds, however, have attempted to address that gap with this latest project. Called 'The Blocks', said project is a collaboration between London designers Studio Twogood and Penfolds, with the art-installation-meets-wine-bar-concept focused particularly on a set of large wooden totems – essentially large wooden sculptures – that are then prepared by a perfumer to showcase some of the scents you might find in (Penfolds) wine.
That's someone famous in the background too.
The way this 'multi sensory environment' then works is that you wander around the exhibit – which is housed in a pretty cool wharf warehouse space in Sydney's Walsh Bay – accompanied by a 'sommelier' who guides you through the art installation with a selection from the Penfolds Bin/Luxury range to taste as you go.
You thus enjoy a glass or two of wine, accompanied by a tasting menu prepared by Magill Estate Executive Chef Jock Monfrillo, and spend plenty of time smelling wood and loitering around looking at art.
I was one of said loiterers at the launch a week or so ago, largely to see what Penfolds – whom have a history of toying with art and wine – had managed to bring together, but also to see what this intriguing wood scented totems shenanigans was all about.
Now I'm the first to admit that I'm not much of an art critic. I like quite my art classical really (with exceptions), so I'm not probably not very well placed to comment on the quality of the works themselves. Moreso, as one of the few 'wine' people at the launch party I think I stood out as one of the least arty types there – with my distinct lack of rolled up jeans, boat shoes and carefully coiffed hair (for guys). For girls it was one-piece jumpsuits (which apparently are 'so hot right now') and more big hair. Or such.
Regardless of such fashion comments, I still liked the exhibtion and thought that the execution was good. The whole operation has an air of professionalism to it, the work clearly created by talented artists. It didn't move me (the art at least) but I was entertained by attempts to pick up scent 'interpretations' from big pieces of wood. Suffice to say that anyone who is used to playing with Le Nuz De Vin or other professional scent kits might be a little baffled too..
As for the wines, there was one particular new release from the Penfolds range that stood out (for me at least). That was the 2010 Penfolds Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz, which I think might be the best 128 I've seen in years..
What makes the 128 work is all about simplicity – it's a thoroughly medium bodied Shiraz (as Coonawarra Shiraz should be), with trademark Penfoldian richness but also with a hint of leaf and grainy tannins. Medium weight, understated yet also bold enough to carry the red Penfolds cap. Everything in it's right place. Perhaps a little bit 'airbrushed' but no questioning the appeal. Considering that it's a relatively affordable part of the Penfolds range, it's not hard to give it a big thumbs up. I went back for seconds.
Another block. A phallic one.
On another tack, they were serving a particularly interesting cocktail on the night too (an expensive one to replicate perhaps) that mixed Bombay Sapphire gin, Lillet and Penfolds Grandfather tawny to make a thoroughly boozy, if quite intriguing (the richness of the old fortified worked great against the straight spirits), mixed drink of choice. Liked that too. Seconds again.
Besides the drinks (I saw so little food that I can't comment on what was served. There was 'things on spoons') the whole experience then was a good one. The verdict then on 'The Blocks' is pretty simple – hardly a serious wine tasting experience, but well worth a look, particularly given that it's free (to wander around at least).
It's free to wander, but $35 for a four wine tasting it seems a bit on the steep side. The food was also quite pricey – enough so that we split without checking it out.

Jerry Preisendorf
Soccer Coach Hired
October 23, 2015–Lehi, Utah
Jerry Preisendorf has been hired as the men's and women's soccer coach for Skyridge High School, currently under construction in Lehi, Utah. The school will open in August 2016.
Coach Preisendorf has a USSF "D" Coaching License and has coached soccer for the last 15 years at the club and high school levels. He has been the head coach of the Lehi High School boys' team since 2010 and started coaching the girls' soccer program in 2015.
Under Coach Preisendorf, the boys' program at Lehi High School has collected two state titles, the first in 2010 (4A), and the second in 2013 (5A). The team advanced to the semifinal game last season. During his tenure, the Pioneers have been Region champions four times, and have qualified for the state playoffs every year. The overall record for the boys' team is at Lehi High is 82-24-7.
During Preisendorf's first year as the girls' head coach at Lehi High School, the team finished the season as the 4th seed in Region 4 and earned a berth in the state playoffs. Their first round victory over a #1 seed allowed them to make it to the quarterfinals, where they lost to an eventual finalist in the 5A division.
Skyridge principal Joel Perkins says, "Jerry is an outstanding individual. He has cultivated a tradition of excellence at Lehi High School, and we are confident that he will create outstanding men's and women's soccer programs. He cares deeply for his student athletes, and he is known for his ability to hone their individual potential to achieve success as a cohesive team. His teams excel, and parents and students love him."
Skyridge Athletic Director Mark Clinton says, "Jerry has the ability to understand and demonstrate the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship and will instill in Skyridge athletes a burning desire to win while playing within the rules."
On leaving his current position, Preisendorf says, "I have a lot of memories and many good friends at Lehi High School. All of my sons graduated from Lehi, and I have a great relationship with the administration there. I look forward to creating a great program and to the opportunities that come with starting a program at a new school."
Coach Preisendorf says the best thing in his life is being married to his wife of over 30 years, Michele. The Preisendorfs have four boys and one grandchild, and they have lived in Lehi for the past 23 years. He will continue to coach at Lehi High through the end of the school year.


Halloween is a time for elaborate costumes, collecting sweet treats, bobbing for apples, telling ghost stories by the light of a jack-o-lantern and watching a scary movie or two. In recent years, Halloween has become even more of an event as people decorate their homes and neighborhoods for the annual fall celebration.
Coming just before the onset of winter weather in many parts of North America, Halloween is also a great time for a cruise vacation. The good news is that you won't necessarily miss out on your favorite traditional Halloween activities.
Some cruise ships celebrate Halloween with costume contests, treats and activities for all ages. For example, Royal Caribbean ships decorate for the holiday and host costume contests, parades and dance parties. Halloween-themed movies are shown and families can enjoy "scary story time" together. Passengers are welcome to bring their own costumes, but if you forget to pack yours, you can also make one on board.
Royal Caribbean ships also have some Halloween activities just for kids, such as making Halloween crafts, trick-or-treating around the ship and exploring a spooky haunted house.
In the past, some cruise lines have even offered murder-mystery cruises that coincide with Halloween.
For more information on how you can enjoy a spooky good Halloween on a cruise ship, talk with Cruise Holidays.
