Should I Watch..? 'Transformers'
Benjamin Cox
Benjamin has been reviewing films for sixteen years and has seen more action movies than he should probably admit to!
Film's teaser poster
Transformers is a sci-fi action movie released in 2007 and is based on the Hasbro toy line of the same name. Directed by Michael Bay, the film is the first live-action film featuring the Transformers - alien living robots that secretly wage a war against each other on Earth, disguising themselves as everyday machines like cars, trucks and mobile phones. The film stars Shia LaBoeuf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Jon Voight and John Turturro while also featuring Steven Spielberg as an executive producer. After making a colossal $709 million worldwide, the film would go on to spark a series of sequels and the prequel Bumblebee in 2019. The film received a fairly positive response and is generally considered to be the best in the franchise so far.
Thousands of years ago, an alien artefact known as the Allspark crash-landed on Earth from outer space. The cube is vital to a race of alien robots called Transformers whose homeworld was destroyed in a war between two factions, Autobots and Decepticons. Pursued by the Decepticon leader Megatron, the Allspark is discovered in the Arctic Circle by explorer Archibald Witwicky who accidentally activates the frozen Megatron's navigational system. Having the location of the Allspark cube etched onto Archibald's glasses, the spectacles are now in the possession of Archibald's great-great-grandson Sam who is thoughtlessly auctioning them online.
While Sam gets around to buying his first car - a beat-up Chevrolet Camaro that behaves very strangely - a US military base in Qatar is attacked by a strange and powerful robot disguised as a military helicopter. As the survivors led by Captain Lennox are pursued through the desert by a horrific subterranean robot, the US soon finds itself under attack by hackers trying to locate the Allspark. It appears that the Decepticons have not given up the search for their leader and soon, the fate of the world rests in the hands of young Sam and the object of his affections, Mikaela.

Optimus Prime, like all the robots, looks incredibly detailed and oddly believable close-up.
What's to like?
Due to the director's reputation preceding him, experienced filmgoers will know that Transformers will be a dumb, explosive action film that will appeal to anyone who likes things to blow up in their films during the long summer months out of school. And sure enough, pretty much everything explodes in this movie. The final third is a climatic battle between the Autobots and Decepticons in the heart of Downtown, USA complete with seemingly every branch of the military roped in for additional booms and bangs. Personally, I preferred the initial night-time assault on a military base in the desert which had more than a ring of the Terminator franchise about it. High praise indeed.
The real stars are the CG mechanical monsters tearing through the picture. Gone are the boxy and two-dimensional characters from the cartoon and instead, we get extremely smooth and detailed characters that look oddly believable. You can spot design features from the cars they imitate like windscreens and wheels so when they transform, it looks like millions of moving parts are perfectly in sync with each other. In many ways, the 'bots are more lifelike than the human cast and long-time fans of the show will be delighted to find Peter Cullen reprising his role as Optimus Prime. It didn't mean anything to me but then again, I barely remember the TV show.
The original Bumblebee transformed into a VW Beetle but this was changed to a Camaro for the film. Bay deliberately did this to avoid comparisons with The Love Bug. As a homage to Bumblebee's original form, a yellow Beetle can be seen next to the Camaro at the car dealership where Sam fist meets the character.
The hologram man used by the Decepticons as a decoy was played by a serving MH-53 helicopter pilot, Brian Reece, who was spotted by Bay and Spielberg on set. They both felt Reece had the right look for the role but his casting meant that he had to reschedule his wedding and honeymoon.
In order to save money, Bay reduced his own fee by 30% and a deal was struck with General Motors who not only provided the vehicles depicted by the Autobots but also some 200 other vehicles destroyed in the final battle. The filmmakers also benefitted from donations from the US military who supplied many of the tanks, planes and helicopters used in the film.
Oh boy, where do I begin? The human cast, LaBeouf and Fox in particular, are amazingly wooden compared to their mechanical co-stars and don't provide the movie with much leadership. The same can be said of Voight, acting as a surrogate for the unseen President but in truth, most of the roles are underwritten. It's a shame because initially, the film has three separate narrative threads that it slowly begins to weave together. A pity it ends in a noisy and mostly incoherent battle at the end with robots kinda blending in with each other (I couldn't tell who was good or bad and largely ignorant of who they actually were). Speaking of which, I'd have liked some clarity on who the robotic characters are. Not being overly familiar with the series beyond Optimus Prime and Megatron, a little exposition for non-fans would have been nice.
What's disappointing is that the action scenes often feel muddled and confused, especially when two Transformers are having a dust-up. For all the clarity of the characters, the action scenes seem sped up and even shot at unusual angles which distort and disorientate the viewer. Personally, I blame Bay for this - his action film like The Rock and Armageddon are violent and noisy affairs with only the loosest understanding of things like gravity, physics and logic. For Bay, any scene is a good one so long as something explodes in it so if you're after a long and boom-heavy action film with little explanation as to what is going on, this is your film. Personally, I didn't have a clue. Lastly, I didn't quite believe how old-fashioned the film felt. Fox has nothing to do besides be the obvious love interest but the camera seems to almost leer at her like an invisible sex pest. Difficult to imagine such crude sexism passing these days with the #MeToo movement and frankly, I'm cool with that.
It's loud and mostly incoherent but pubescent fan-boys will probably get the most out of this film as it combines their toys with gratuitous shots of Megan Fox.
Should I watch it?
For fans and lovers of the original TV cartoon, I dare say that Transformers is the film they've all been waiting for. But while the film may contain dazzling visuals and a suitably epic feel to the action scenes, it just never engaged me much. I wanted to know more about these characters, this strange alien race that can somehow mimic objects as everyday as a truck with flame decals. It's loaded with product placement, stifled by uninspired performances, narratively all over the place but as a summer blockbuster, it does just enough to appeal to bored schoolkids everywhere.
Great For: fans of the toys or TV show, under 18 audiences, subtitle readers (the explosions drown out much of the dialogue), corporate sponsors
Not So Great For: adults unfamiliar with the series, critics, anyone hoping Bay's career would go up in smoke
What else should I watch?
Judging by the overwhelming negativity that greeted the rest of the sequels, it would seem that this is as good as things got. Revenge Of The Fallen, Dark Of The Moon, Age Of Extinction and The Last Knight were all slammed by critics upon release and yet, they all smashed the box office like a giant robot would - collectively, the series has so far made more than $4.3 billion worldwide and counting with the recent release of Bumblebee. Incidentally, Bumblebee has bucked the trend in terms of critical response by earning the most praise of any film in the series so far. It's also the first film in the series not directed by Michael Bay so go figure.
Films based on toys have had a fairly chequered success rate, it has to be said. From the big budget flops like Battleship, hilarious misfires like Dungeons & Dragons to idiosyncratic curiosities like Clue, toy-based films traditionally haven't been much good. I say traditionally because The Lego Movie and its spin-offs have seemingly turned things around. The first film certainly felt like a breath of fresh air, using incredibly detailed CG to create a world of seemingly limitless possibilities as well as a goofball charm and nostalgia you rarely find these days.

Session 8 of the Breaking Brews Podcast delves into creating a tremendous taproom experience for customers. With so many tremendous venues to visit these days, attention for a consumer's entertainment buck is being fought over every day. And the venues that create a memorable visit will be the ones who earn a customer's business time and time again. While 100% undying loyalty to just one brand may be a thing of the past, a consumer will always come back AND tell others to check you out when you give them a reason to do so. This session is going to tell the story of a brand that's done just that.
Today, we hear from Luke, Jay, Tony, and Dave – four of the team members behind Levity Brewing Company in Indiana, Pennsylvania. Levity has been going strong since 2016 and has grown their brand visibility throughout Western PA and beyond. Their taproom sits a little over a mile away from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and has become a premier destination in town for great beer, exceptional food, and live events. They've gone the extra mile to deliver their community a locale that satiates many desires and it's helped them become a pillar of Indiana for people of all ages.
We start the show learning about how Levity came to be, with Jay and Luke sharing their entrepreneurial aspirations and how it dawned on them that a brewery was the way to chase their passion. We talk about their building, taproom space, brewing capacity, and what their focus is for a beer portfolio.
From there, we learn how the Levity crew slowly incorporated food into their operations and grew their menu over time, thus giving visitors a reason to stay longer and never leave hungry. As Jay points out, they could see the drop-off in business after the happy hour times ended to later in the evening until they went full bore with food. Adding food to their initiatives also helped attract additional clientele and we'll learn how Tony and Dave have cultivated a menu packed with delicious choices for consumers to tear into.
Finally, the guys discuss how they host live events at their space and share some tips and pointers one should consider when starting a brewery or looking to interject food and live events into their practices. Again, with so many options at a consumer's disposal today, providing multiple reasons to make someone feel at home is critical to repeat business.
Cast Your Vote For the Best Brewery in Pennsylvania!
It's Levity Brewing vs. Dancing Gnome Beer in the finals of the Breweries in PA March Madness Bracket Tournament. Levity won the tournament in 2018 and is looking to repeat as champions in 2019! Click here to cast your vote today (and every day) until the tournament ends.

This Is Where You Live
Photo by Peter Greig
Just Visiting and Griffin Independent present the World Premiere of THIS IS WHERE WE LIVE by Vivienne Walshe at the SBW Stables Theatre, Kings Cross.
THIS IS WHERE YOU LIVE is the Winner of the 2012 Griffin Award by Vivienne Walshe, directed by Francesca Smith, leader of the independent theatre company, Just Visiting. This is the inaugural production for this company and the World Premiere of the play. This company has been working on this project since 2006 when it was part of the Australian National Playwright's Conference.
It arrived "as a conventional narrative-based 4 character drama" and has now been shaped into a two handed poetic drama. It has the shape and form of many a recent, new, independent work, for small companies or ... In fact, the recent Griffin Company production THE BULL, THE MOON AND THE CORONET OF STARS by Van Badham, is one such. It is a form that I have begun to find very tedious, indeed. It usually has two characters (sometimes, three or four) using heightened, poetic language ( to quote myself), " using 'novelistic ' techniques, (with) the actors describing events, (then) offering observations as characters, as well as employing 'mimicry' as the actual characters in interaction - stepping from one form of address to the other, directly, seamlessly, to us, the audience". It is, was, in Australian theatre terms, perhaps, a post-modernistic dare that has become, through over use and wear, no longer truly fashionable or even, effective. It can kind of irritate and bore. In fact the conventional narrative-based 4 character drama, the way this play first appeared in 2006, may be the new cutting edge, it is so rare a form to see on our stages.
So, when THIS IS WHERE YOU LIVE began the other evening with the arrival of an actress on a stark black walled, floored space, with no other design element (imagined by Fiona Crombie), clutching the wall, hippie-aesthetically, a hand-by-hand, claw-by-claw gesture, as she arrived, my heart sank. This character Chloe (Ava Torch - formerly known as Amie McKenna) began a long monologue about her socially disabled family and her days at school where she dwells at the moment, as an impermanent, crippled with polio and suffering from dyslexia, attempting to keep her head above water, weighed down with a family history of grave deprivation, cheeking her teacher and the other students as a way to impress, and finding sex drawings in the loo, arresting,
"Oh, no," I thought to myself. It was a little more highly staked than that, as I had brought an American theatre director, a colleague of mine from my American Conservatory Theatre (ACT) days and had hoped he would have a good time and be impressed with a new Australian play. It was more like, "OH,NO!!!!" and painfully suppressed - I almost injured myself, internally.
Another character called Chris (Yalin Ozucelik), entered, and he too made contact with us with the same technique of description of surroundings, of others, and especially of Chloe. He is the class room oddity, bright, but physically immature, the nerdy outsider, and worse, the son of the teacher in the room. It is bad when in a moment of unguarded anger he calls out, "DAD", the rest of the classroom is onto it with pernicious glee. Poor, Mr Chris. However, the cumulative impact of Ms Torch's character and that of Mr Ozucelik had begun to invite me in.
It was not now,"Oh, no", but, "Well, what else?" I became, reluctantly, curious. As time moved on, I became engaged and then engrossed and then committed, then protective and then moved and finally entranced. I, and, I am pleased to report, my guest, had had an almost identical experience (we talked over dinner, later). Despite my prejudices I had been won over and had had a very beautiful experience. I, we, applauded, generously.
Why? Well.
1. The writing by Ms Walshe is delicately beautiful, full of weird and wonderful observations and points of view. Surprises - truthfully banal ones that rang refreshingly clear because of their uncluttered cliche imageries. Stuff from my childhood, it seemed, and that of many a famous coming-of-age novel that I have gorged myself with in times past. The Australian author, Sonya Hatnett and her novels for adolescents, say, BUTTERFLY - a recent book club read; JASPER JONES by Craig Silvey and even, the great American classic, TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD by Harper Lee came flooding back to me,in the Griffin space, to support me, imaginatively, through this play. High praise, indeed.The narrative of the attempted 'coupling' of this pair of young adolescent misfits was quite decidedly recognisable and delightfully, innocently doomed, but, always full of hope. One hoped against the hopeless, for Chloe and Chris. They make an impression and I still care for them. The quality of the writing is quite simply wonderful and graspable and unpretentious.
2. Ms Smith the director has decided to cast two very much older actors in the roles of these two barely, teenaged characters. It was an inspired choice. The nuance of these fractured and 'old souls', Chloe and Chris, bred from discontent and unhappy ground, are redolent in the bodies, imagination and life experiences of Ms McKenna ( I can't go on using her cabaret nom-de-plume) and Mr Ozucelik. Both these actors know these lives and can handle them with deep memory, love and very apparent care. There is no guessing here. No adolescent inexperience., from more age appropriate casting. The knowledge of their own long gone adolescence glows within these actors, exists, shinning in them. That they are also two very accomplished artists with voices of poetic range with the ability to have us see what they see, to feel what they feel, to know what they know, is more creative power to them. They also have a sense of wisdom and humour, that is an undercoat of support for the drama of some of the story. Not a single vocal gesture is undervalued or under delivered. Physically, (except, for me, that awful entrance of Chloe's), is overdone or exaggerated. They simply allow themselves to be imaginatively 'possessed" - neither young nor cliched with characteristics. ThesE actors simply are, rippling with imaginative effect and affect.
3. Ms Smith, the director has, mostly, made herself invisible. She simply works to let the work, which she has nurtured for nearly 7 years, show. It always does, I reckon. I know it does. When one creates for others, with others in mind, not oneself and one's own ego, then beauty can arrive, transcend for the audience, in the simple act of storytelling. Untrammeled and loved and joyfully given. Take note of the music score by Marty Jamieson and the delicacy of its entrances. The costumes are just a little too costumed, too neat, especially considering Clohe's background - too well fitting. The lighting is too simple and not subtle enough in this space.
So, here I am reversing my prejudices for Ms Walshe's THIS IS WHERE WE LIVE. To quote the author of the moment, F. Scott Fitzgerald, from a little short story, THE CRACK-UP: " ... The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. ..." In recommending this play I know I am functioning. Well.
I think that this is the best new Australian play, writing, I have seen this year, so far. This Griffin writing prizewinner is deserving. Congratulations all.
Go.

Home/Anti-virus/Malwarebytes Premium
Malwarebytes Premium
Malwarebytes (formerly known as Malwarebytes Anti-malware) is primarily a scanner that scans and removes malicious software, including rogue security software, adware, and spyware. Malwarebytes scans in batch mode, rather than scanning all files opened, reducing interference if another on-demand anti-malware software is also running on the computer.[4][5]
Malwarebytes is available in both a free and a premium paid version.[3] The free version can be run manually by the user when desired, whereas the paid version can perform scheduled scans, automatically scan files when opened, block IP addresses of malicious web sites, and scan only those services, programs and device drivers that are currently in use.
On December 8, 2016, Malwarebytes Inc. released version 3.0 to the general public. This includes protection against malware, ransomware, exploit, and malicious websites.
Malwarebytes (formerly Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, abbreviated as MBAM) is an anti-malware software for Microsoft Windows,[2] macOS, Android, and iOS that finds and removes malware.[3] Made by Malwarebytes Corporation, it was first released in January 2006. It is available in a free version, which scans for and removes malware when started manually, and a paid version, which additionally provides scheduled scans, real-time protection and a flash-memory scanner.
On November 2, 2009, Malwarebytes accused[13] rival IObit of incorporating the database of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (and several products from other vendors, which were not named) into its security software IObit Security 360. IObit denied the accusation and stated that the database is based on user submissions, and sometimes the same signature names that are in Malwarebytes get placed in the results. They said that they did not have time to filter out the signature names that are similar to Malwarebytes. IObit also stated that Malwarebytes did not have convincing proof, and promised that the databases were not stolen.[14] After the declaration from IObit, Malwarebytes replied that they are not convinced of the argument from IObit.[15][16] Malwarebytes claims to have served DMCA infringement notices against CNET, Download.com and Majorgeeks in order to have the download sites remove the IObit software. IObit said that as of version 1.3, their database has been updated to address those accusations of intellectual property theft made earlier by Malwarebytes.
On February 2, 2016, Project Zero announced four vulnerabilities in the Malwarebytes flagship product, including lack of server-side encryption for update files and lack of proper payload signing within encrypted data; the combination of which allowed an attacker to recompile the encrypted payload with exploits.[21] Malwarebytes responded one day before disclosure in a blog article detailing the extreme difficulty in executing these attacks, as well as revealing that the announced server-side and encryption issues were resolved within days of private disclosure and were not outstanding at the time Project Zero published their research.[22] Malwarebytes also published information on how to protect current users until a patch was released. This event also resulted in the establishment of a formal bug bounty program by Malwarebytes, who offer up to $1000 per disclosure as of 2018, depending on severity and exploitability.

Delivering solutions in Istanbul and São Paulo 18 Feb 2015
Geodata News Release
As a specialist in managing and solving complex issues relating to excavation in urban areas, and assessing the geological and hydrogeological risks associated with the construction of complex underground structures, Geodata of Italy has found itself in much demand by project owners across the globe.
Brooklin Station excavations, Lot 3
Since the company was established in 1984, Geodata has designed and supervised the construction of more than 3,500km of tunnels, and been involved in more than 2,500 projects. Today it is active in 25 countries, but its achievements on recent and ongoing metro projects in Brazil and Turkey stand out.
None more so than Geodata's involvement in Lot 3 of Line 5 of the São Paulo Metro, for which, in November 2013, company President Piergiorgio Grasso was honoured by both the ABECE (Brazilian Association of Structural Engineering and Consultancy), and Brasfond. The award was in recognition of Geodata's exceptional contribution to the project.
São Paulo Metro is the main rapid transit system in the city, and the largest in Brazil. It is also the second largest system in South America and the third largest in Latin America – only the Mexico City Metro and the Santiago Metro are larger. The 64-station São Paulo system is 74.2km in length, split into five lines.
NATM Chakara Klabin Station cavern, Lot 3
TBM breakthrough at Moema Station (Lot 7)
The 11km extension of Line 5 from the southwest of the city to the expanded centre is designed to improve the mobility of public transport users in the Capão Redondo–Largo Treze Chácara Klabin corridor. Once completed, by 2016, Line 5 will be 20.1 km long, including 15 intermediate stations.
Geodata is in charge of the design of the civil works for all seven lots of the extension of the line, and for the follow-up during construction. The project being developed by Geodata includes excavation of approximately 11km of new line, excavated by a mix of NATM and TBM; 10 stations (Alto da Boa Vista, Borba Gato, Brooklin, Campo Belo, Eucaliptos, Moema, AACD-Servidor, Hospital São Paulo, Santa Cruz e Chácara Klabin); 10 shafts for ventilation and evacuation; a launch shaft for the two TBMs selected for excavation of the twin-tube, single-track part of the line; and another shaft that will serve as both a reception shaft for the first pair of TBMs as well as a launch shaft for a third TBM excavating the single-tube, double-track part of the line; and a maintenance depot.
This new extension, once completed, will interchange with Line 1 (Blue Line) at Santa Cruz Station, with Line 2 (Green Line) at Chácara Klabin Station, and with the future Line 17 (Gold Line) at Campo Belo Station.
Once fully operational the newly extended Line 5 will transport an estimated 770,000 passengers/day, feature four trains in simultaneous operation at peak times for a train frequency of one every 125 seconds. The new extension should boost the development of a number of areas along the Line 5 (Lilac Line) corridor, allowing greater numbers of people to access important business centres located in Largo Treze, av. Santo Amaro, av. Vereador Jose Diniz, av. Roque Petroni Junior, av. Morumbi, av. Marginal Pinheiros, as well as easy access to Moema, Ibirapuera, Vila Clementino, and Vila Mariana Malls.
Large cavern construction on the Kadıköy–Kartal Line
In Istanbul, Turkey, Geodata is at the heart of underground activity to expand the metro network of a city that famously marks the dividing line between East and West – a city split in two, quite literally, by the Bosphorus.
Geodata is, and has been, involved in the construction of almost 56km of metro alignment and 45 new stations in the Turkish metropolis. With a population of 15 million, and still growing and expanding, Istanbul is characterised by a mixture of historic heritage, natural beauty and uncontrolled urbanisation.
Mobility is the biggest problem facing the city, with the Bosporus Strait separating the Anatolian from the European side of the city. To address the increasing and urgent demand for improved connectivity, a total of more than 130km of public transportation routes are under construction, including both metro and tram systems, all representing part of the very ambitious development program of the Turkish Government to bring into service more than 500km of new metro lines by 2025.
Completed switch cavern on Kadıköy–Kartal Line
Geodata's recent involvement dates back to construction of the Kadıköy–Kartal metro line, which runs broadly parallel to the E5 highway. At 21.7km long, and with 16 underground stations, the line crosses the densely populated Anatolian side of the city. Running completely underground at depths of between 20–40m, construction involved the use of all available tunnelling technologies including conventional methods, cut and cover and mechanised techniques. All the station platform and connection tunnels, the switch tunnels, and more than half the running tunnels were excavated using conventional tunnelling methods. The alignment also included nine crossover caverns and more than 20 access tunnels for the construction phase, some 60 shafts for ventilation and elevators near the stations, and several connection tunnels.
The underground stations are situated under the water table at an excavation depth of 20–32m in mixed ground conditions varying from weak alluvial deposits to competent rock. The excavated volume of each station is at least 90,000m3.
NATM excavation works, Kadıköy–Kartal Line
For its part, Geodata was in charge of NATM excavation of the main tunnels, crossover caverns, stations and technical spaces; construction follow-up to check design assumption; evaluation of construction risk; and optimisation of design solutions. The line entered into operation in August 2012.
Looking ahead, for the 12.5km-long Ümraniye–Ataşehir–Göztepe Line, including nine stations, and the 12.9km-long Dudullu–Bostancı Line, including 11 stations, Geodata's scope of work includes: geological and geotechnical investigations; transport and urban studies; economic studies and cost-benefit analysis; environmental studies; definition of the alignment and design of the trackworks; architectural and functional design; structural design; design of E&M systems; design of railway plant; expropriations; detailed Construction Bill of Quantities (BoQ) and price analysis, technical specifications; and contractual documentation for the future construction tenders.
Located in the Anatolian side of Istanbul, both lines share a single depot which will also serve the Üsküdar–Çekmeköy Line which is already under construction. The two new lines, running north–south, run in parallel and integrate the metro-rail transport network of the city. They cross three lines on the east–west axis of the Anatolian part of the city: the Kadıköy–Kartal Line, the trans-European railway line (whose undersea Bosporus Tunnel was inaugurated in November 2014), and the Üsküdar–Çekmeköy Line. Construction of the two new lines should start in 2015, with completion scheduled for 2019.
Meanwhile, work continues ahead of planned construction of the 7.5km-long underground Kirazlı–Halkalı Line. Scope also includes 2.5km of viaduct and nine metro stations in the European side of Istanbul. Geodata will provide the client with transportation and route investigations, feasibility studies, and final design and preparation of the tender documents ahead of construction.
The line is planned for the corridor that starts from the existing Otogar–Bağcılar Kirazlı transfer station and ends at Marmaray Halkalı Station.

I learned that it is best practice to delete default service account due to its editor role. However, once I deleted it, I am unable to launch a marketplace solution. Creating a new service account with editor role doesn't work either.
I am using the following steps:

*

*Disable the default service account

*Enable it only when it is required to create the VM using a marketplace solution

*Change the service account after the VM is created

What is the recommended best practice?

A: The default service account is created with the IAM basic Editor role, but you can modify your service account's roles to control the service account's access to Google APIs.
You can disable or delete this service account from your project, but doing so might cause any applications that depend on the service account's credentials to fail. So as mentioned by @John Hanley do not delete service accounts that Google created for you. Instead, create a new service account and use that when required.
You can create and manage your own service accounts using IAM. After you create an account, you grant the account IAM roles and set up instances to run as the service account. Apps running on instances with the service account attached can use the account's credentials to make requests to other Google APIs. Refer creating and enabling service account for instances.
If you have deleted the default service account, you can try to recover the account within 30 days. After 30 days, IAM permanently removes the service account. Google Cloud cannot recover the service account after it is permanently removed, even if you file a support request.
Refer Undeleting a Service account for more information.

After the House voted 407-23 in favor of H. Res. 183, Alex Newman and Christian Gomez of The New American break it all down. The resolution sets the stage to buckle down on "hatred," including anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim discrimination, which is specifically pointed out in the text. The resolution came about in response to controversial tweets by MN Rep. Ilhan Omar against Israel support that was deemed "anti-Semitic." But unlike the resolution to condemn Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) which condemned him by name, Omar was never called out. There are other controversial elements of this resolution too. Is criticism of U.S. government aid to Israel anti-Semitic? Is it irrational fear of Islam (Islamophobia) to be concerned about some of what is written in the Koran? Newman and Gomez discuss.

Las Vegas | Englisch
Used To/Would
Swedish eco village
Handout GFS Las Vegas Overview: Las Vegas is located in the state of Nevada in the southwestern part of the US. Because of the Mojawe Desert surrounding Las Vegas the climate there is a typical desert climate with low precipitation and warm temperatures all the year long. The population of Las Vegas is increasing fast since the 50's. Also many inhabitants are not born in Nevada and 26% even outside of the US. Terms / Vocabulary: gambling - Glücksspiel hispanics - Spanish speaking people Spanish Trail - Old route from New Mexico to L.A. - special Christian group mormons dilapidated Sin City - heruntergekommen - "Sündenstadt" desalination plants - Entsalzungsanlagen History: In 1829 Raphael Rivera called the fertile area close to Lake Mead "Las Vegas" meaning "The meadows". After settlements of the Mormons and the US-Army most of the area was used by ranchers and some farmers. In 1903 Helen Stewart sold her ground to the Railroad Company which auctioned it to investors in 1905. Las Vegas was founded. After the legalization of gambling in 1931 and the building of the Hoover Dam some years later the first casinos opened and the village started growing. In the 60's and 70's Las Vegas became a symbol of freedom, happiness and gambling and also very attractive to the mafia. In the 80's the government could defeate big parts of them but...
together with the mafia the money left city. In the 90's Las Vegas made a restart. Gigantic theme hotels opened and the old dilapidated city became the Entertainment-City we know today. Hotels, Casinos and Sights: With many square meters of casino space and their sights like the "Bellagio Fountains" or "The channels of the Venetian" most Las Vegas hotels combine these three all in one. Many modern hotels have an individual theme which the whole building shows. Almost every hotel is located along "The Strip", the biggest avenue of Las Vegas. And if you are bored of all these impressive hotels you can take a picture with the "Welcome to fabolous Las Vegas" sign or even go further away and visit Grand Canyon, Death Valley or the Spring Montains. Water supply and problems: Las Vegas and 20 million other people in southwestern US get their water from Lake Mead, a part of Colorado River near Las Vegas. Due to droughts, global warming, growing population and growing water consume Las Vegas and the whole region needs to find a way to secure water availability. One way is to educe water consume of the people and to lower global warming, another way are desalination plants. By now this technology has many disadvantages like high costs and energy consume but in a few years it might open the largest water source of our planet, the ocean.

Book review – The Mind Travellers, by Phillip Boas
August 27, 2021 / ballaratwriters / 0 Comments
Title: The Mind Travellers — Book 1: Zed and Olaria
Author: Phillip Boas
Publisher: Shawline Publishing Group
Mind Travellers is a thought-provoking debut novel by Trentham's Phillip Boas. Written as a science fiction tale, the story leverages Phillip's experience as a psychologist, management consultant and leadership specialist. These experiences have led him to consider how society might work if, from the boardroom to the bedroom, there were fewer ulterior motives, less deception and less duplicity in people's lives.
Mind Travellers is set in the not-too-distant future. An overcrowded Earth is struggling environmentally. Corporate dynastic families dominate the world; they see shifting people to other planets as a solution to overcrowding and a way of generating even more wealth for themselves.
The story's main character, Dr Zed Eko, is a crew psychologist with Space Fleet Command. We first meet Zed as he boards the spacecraft Sunstreamer before it heads off on a special mission to investigate anomalies on a newly discovered planet.
Arriving at the new planet, Zed and the mission crew meet the Olarians, a human- like race with powerful telepathic and telekinetic abilities. Knowing what everyone's thinking makes it difficult to be deceitful. Despite their abilities, the Olarians have problems of their own.
What are we thinking? More books about telepaths!
at goodreads
Zed forms a relationship with the Olarian leader Olaria, which takes on another dimension when Olaria enables Zed's latent telepathic abilities. From this point Zed's life becomes complicated as Zed and Olaria become instrumental in influencing the relationship between humans and Olarians.
Phillip's depiction of senior leadership personality traits is masterful. His portrayal of the head of Space Fleet Central Command has a disturbing degree of reality about it. At times, Phillip is rather clinical in laying bare the games and subtle strategies of subterfuge used by senior leaders.
Mind Travellers is an interesting read because of the values and concepts presented for conducting human relationships. There is a lot of emphasis on openness, honesty, and trust, something many might agree is lacking in our society today. While there are displays of telepathic force by Olaria and later Zed, Phillip has exercised restraint, recognising that one cannot make the ills of society better by waving a magic wand or simply wishing it so.
This is a book written by a person who has had the opportunity to observe life at many levels, there is wisdom within its covers – it is well worth a read.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un ranks among the world's youngest heads of state, but has some of its most powerful weapons at his disposal.
Sunday's test of what appeared to be a powerful, full-fledged thermonuclear bomb, marked yet another watershed in Kim's relentless drive as leader to turn the North into a credible — and feared — nuclear-armed state.
The blinding and destroying of American military satellites by China in warfare, enabling an almost-unhindered invasion of the American mainland, is called "assassin's mace".
As you can see after reading the articles, it's imperative and in America's best interests to stop playing games with its military budget and wasting time with focusing on thousands of individual terrorists that multiply after their death.
The US relies on its network of satellites to maintain a strategic edge over rivals. This makes a target-rich environment for space-based weapons. Photo: screenshot of Nasa image.
China's military is developing powerful lasers, electromagnetic railguns and high-power microwave weapons for use in a future "light war" involving space-based attacks on satellites.
Beijing's push to produce so-called directed-energy weapons aims to neutralize America's key strategic advantage: the web of intelligence, communication and navigation satellites enabling military strikes of unparalleled precision expeditionary warfare far from US shores.
As if there weren't enough crises to worry about in the world already, from shooting rampages to accelerating species loss, the US and NATO continue to 'poke the bear' and risk an outbreak of war with Russia.
I wish this were idle speculation. But if you haven't been paying close attention, you'll probably be shocked at just how much direct military and diplomatic provocation has been going on between NATO/US and Russia over the past several years — and in recent weeks, in particular.
Even more shocking is that no one in power can provide us with a compelling reason for exactly why these tensions are flaring. It seems that Russia's main sin is in not entirely, completely and immediately giving the US/NATO anything and everything they request.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The platform, entirely designed by Russian engineers, can be controlled remotely and operated in an urban environment, he emphasized.
CNBC is doing their best to downplay and whitewash the threat, however, from the daily headlines one can easily see China along with other nations are undermining the USA's stability. They're working on dethroning the Dollar, creating an alternative to the American-led internet, cyber hacking critical infrastructure/financial systems/military networks and so on. America is under full assault and it's not difficult to see for those who would rather follow the news and not the Kardashians.
Saudi Arabia was already disappointed by the Obama administration's decision to side with Russia and opt against military strikes on Syria, effectively ending Saudi hopes that the U.S. would turn the tide against the Iran-allied government of Bashar Assad in Damascus.
IAEA envoy expects to see Iranian efforts 'jump' in Fordo site near Qom, located deep inside a mountain to protect it from possible airstrikes.
"I think we will see a jump in the potential state of readiness of the facility," one Vienna-based envoy said.
Fordo is of particular concern for the West and Israel as Iran is shifting the most controversial aspect of its nuclear work, refining uranium to a level that takes it significantly closer to potential bomb material, to the site.
Estimated to be buried beneath 80 meters of rock and soil, it gives Iran better protection against any Israeli or U.S. military strikes.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak has warned that the Islamic state's nuclear research could soon pass into what he called a "zone of immunity," protected from outside disruption.

Studies of fossil vertebrates belonging to the group Synapsida are central to understanding mammalian origins. Synapsida includes mammals and is one of the two major clades of amniotes (all fully terrestrial vertebrates). The other is Reptilia, which includes modern turtles, snakes, lizards, crocodiles, and birds. The therapsids, one major group of nonmammalian synapsids (historically but erroneously known as "mammal-like reptiles") have been particularly important to understanding the acquisition of mammalian characteristics. One of the key features within the evolutionary history of synapsids is the morphological differentation of their dentition (teeth) over time (1). On page 1603 of this issue, Cisneros et al. (2) describe a new therapsid fossil from South America, Tiarajudens eccentricus, which displays a unique dentition, including broad chewing teeth on the palate and a pair of extremely long saber canines. The discovery provides novel insights into early tooth differentiation in synapsids and into the evolution of herbivory (plant eating) and its accompanying complex social interactions.

Virginia's 13th House of Delegates district elects one of the hundred delegates of the Virginia House of Delegates, the lower house of the state's bicameral legislature. The 13th district consists of Manassas Park as well as a portion of Prince William County. Its seat is currently held by Danica Roem, the first openly transgender person to be elected to the Virginia General Assembly.

In 2017, Roem defeated Bob Marshall, a conservative Republican.

2017 election
In the 2017 off-cycle general election, Bob Marshall ran for re-election to hold his seat which he had held since 1992. His Democratic opponent was Danica Roem, who has lived in Manassas her entire life. Roem campaigned on infrastructure issues, economic development, a minimum wage increase, school funding reform and civil rights issues. Commenting on Marshall's proposed bill to regulate use of restrooms in schools, at highway rest stops, and in other government buildings, Roem said that Marshall's "legislative priorities are more concerned with where I go to the bathroom than how his constituents get to work."

On November 7, 2017 during the general election, Roem defeated Republican incumbent Bob Marshall by a wide margin, making Roem the first openly transgender person to be elected to the Virginia Assembly and the highest-elected transgender person in the United States to date.

Despite a few obstacles – namely the threatening (and very humid) weather, and the insane crowds for First Thursdays in Mount Vernon – Kathleen+Mike's Canton and Mount Vernon Engagement Session went FAAAABulously! I was excited to include their furbabies in the session, as Kathleen is a fellow volunteer at BARCS, and Lexi was rescued from there! Mike was the best man in Nicole+Scott's wedding, so it was great to see him again! After a few pictures along the Canton waterfront, they did a quick wardrobe change, and we were off to Mount Vernon for a few elegant photos there. I had a great time with you guys & can't wait for your wedding at The Belvedere!!!
These are gorgeous! I love their furbabies. Adorbs. And I have to say you totally nailed Mt Vernon. Beautiful and totally classic images.
You are SO good at getting good photos of pups! Love that, and all of the really beautiful colors in the backgrounds of these portraits! It makes Kathleen and Mike look even more amazing!
Love the pups! I can't wait to see their wedding at the belvedere either! Beautiful shoot!
I LOVE her smile! What a sweet session!
I love those close up shots Teri and their puppies look so sweet!

Why no one does juice cleanses anymore
By Molly Shea
January 9, 2018 | 6:04pm | Updated January 11, 2018 | 3:00pm
When she moved to New York in 2011, Sorah Kim gave trendy juice cleanses a shot, but she eventually gave up on them last year. Zandy Mangold
In 2012, you'd have been hard-pressed to find a celebrity, fashionista or health nut without a cold-pressed juice in hand. BluePrint had just been acquired by Hain Celestial, Juice Press was expanding like mad and California's Suja Juice was democratizing the pricey trend by popping up in grocery stores.
Subsisting on a half-dozen juices per day was believed to help shed weight, cure cravings, clear up skin, nix bloating, improve sleep and more. New Yorkers dutifully gagged down pressed spinach and celery, skipping meals in favor of a plastic bottle of green liquid. Celebs such as Blake Lively and Gwyneth Paltrow were spotted toting a green bottle around the city, and there seemed to be a juice bar on every block.
'I had a lot of energy, but now that I know more about nutrition, I think it was mostly the sugars that were doing that to me.'
Six years later, cleansing seems outdated and even dangerous. Organic Avenue, which sold glass jars of juice to moneyed moms, closed in 2015, reopened and closed again last year. Juice Press now offers cleanses made up of whole foods and has a variety of fat-filled coconut milk drinks. New York's favorite health trend has quietly evaporated, in favor of nourishing hot drinks and meals that require chewing.
When Sorah Kim moved from Texas to New York in 2011, the then-22-year-old started in on a series of juice cleanses. "I think I was hazing myself into becoming a New Yorker," she says. "It was very much a psychological thing for me — it was kind of like a form of self-control."
At the time, Kim thought she was being healthy. "It was the trendy thing to do," she says. "Everyone was like, your skin will glow!" She hoped that swilling the vegetable juices would help her break free from her snacking habits and drop some of the weight she was gaining at her stressful job. Initially, she felt like it was working. "I felt super empowered, and I felt lighter," she says. "I had a lot of energy, but now that I know more about nutrition, I think it was mostly the sugars that were doing that to me."
She quit doing cleanses for a while, then tried one again last year. "I stopped at juice four," she says. "It didn't feel good, and I haven't touched a green juice since."
That hasn't been difficult for her. "I don't hear about juice cleanses at all anymore," she says.
Beyoncé used a cleanse to drop weight before filming "Dreamgirls."DreamWorks/Everett Collection
The ultra-crunchy have been juicing for decades, but liquid cleanses entered the mainstream in 2006 when Beyoncé used the Master Cleanse to drop 20 pounds for her performance in "Dreamgirls." The not-so-crunchy took note, mixing up their own pitchers of lemon juice, cayenne, maple syrup and water. In 2007, BluePrint began selling six-packs of vegetable and fruit juices meant for three-day fasts out of a tiny Tribeca kitchen. Their first fans, mostly moms from Connecticut, would either visit the kitchen to pick up their hand-packed cleanses or order a bike delivery from founder Zoe Sakoutis, who left the company in 2014. Organic Avenue, then a raw foods store, started packaging its own cleanses soon after, followed by Salma Hayek's Cooler Cleanse in 2008, in partnership with Juice Generation's Eric Helms.
"At the beginning, this was nirvana," says Joshua Rosenthal, founder of the NYC-based Institute for Integrative Nutrition. "[The thinking was], I'm going to drink juice, I'm going to pay someone way too much money and I'm going to lose 20 pounds! And all these mysterious toxins are going to leave my body, and I'm going to be purified!"
But as cleanses became more popular, some brands began cutting corners and the magic began to wear off.
"There [was] a lot of money to be made, and there are a lot of people who realized that," says Sakoutis. Fruit-laden blends meant to appeal to a broader audience began to saturate the market, while new pressure pasteurization techniques also allowed companies to extend their drinks' shelf lives — past the point of good taste. And as quality slipped, many cleansers realized that drinking only juice for several days isn't actually that healthy.

"A lot of juice cleanses are loaded with sugar because there's too much fruit in the juices — it's extremely unhealthy," says Be Well founder Dr. Frank Lipman, whose own probiotic-heavy, juice-free cleanse is popular with celebrities. "It's soda without the bubbles." While fruit on its own contains fiber to slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, fiberless juices can cause blood sugar spikes. A 2013 study from the Harvard School of Public Health found that while a greater consumption of certain whole fruits is significantly associated with a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes, consuming fruit juice is associated with a higher risk — a finding that some experts began citing as a reason to avoid cleanses.
Plus, says Lipman, swigging quality juice does nothing to fix imbalances in the gut, which he believes leads to inflammation, bloating and other problems that cleanses are meant to fix. "I'm a big believer in that if you do a cleanse, you've got to clean out [harmful bacteria from] the gut with antimicrobials. A juice cleanse does nothing for that — it doesn't affect the microbiome," Lipman says. "Thank God [the juice cleanse trend has] fallen."
BluePrint is staying relevant by evolving into "a beverage brand," says current VP Emma Frelinghuysen. The company now offers vinegar drinks and kombucha in addition to cleanses and individual juices, which are all sold at Whole Foods and other retailers.
'A lot of juice cleanses are loaded with sugar, because there's too much fruit in the juices — it's extremely unhealthy.'
Frelinghuysen won't say if cleanse sales have declined in recent years, but will say that many customers have been incorporating juices into their daily lives, rather than consuming only juice — drinking a green blend for breakfast, for example, or using a spicy lemon drink as a cocktail mixer.
When former juicers do want to detox, they turn instead to whole-food cleanses, like the month-long Whole30, during which participants cut out potential allergens, such as wheat and dairy, and consume satisfying amounts of paleo-friendly nutrient-dense foods. The plan has reached juice-like popularity: The guidebook was the No. 1 book in the Weight Loss Recipes category on Amazon at the start of the year.
Others opt for gentler, more fiber-rich blended foods.
Nicole Centeno launched her Brooklyn-based soup company, Splendid Spoon, four and a half years ago in part to break up with her juice-cleanse habit. "There was this mentality of, let's go out and have a ramen burger, and then let's do a juice cleanse to make up for it," she says. "That didn't make me feel good, and didn't feel like it was genuinely healthy."
So, she swapped juices for soups, turning to the blended vegetable mixes for nutrients, rather than fiber-free juices.
"A lot of our customers are people who've realized the juice cleanse was just a fad," says Centeno.
Her company does offer a "cleanse" day of six blended soups, but Centeno says that customers are free to supplement with solid food if needed — and the soups have enough protein and fat to be satisfying on their own. "It's not meant to be punishment," she says, "and it's not meant to be strict."
She sees the end of harsh cleanses as a saner approach to healthy eating. "Juicing was appealing to New Yorkers because it's masochistic, and I think we're moving away from that," says Centeno. "You don't need to put yourself through agony just to feel good about yourself."

Opponents of the Bahrain Summit must assert Palestinians' unequivocal right to liberation

As preparations continue for the "Peace to Prosperity" workshop to be held in the capital of Bahrain next month, opposition to US-Israeli scheming grows. The Confederation of Palestinian Communities in Latin America (COPLAC) is reported to have denounced the summit and its aims, and urged Arab countries to refrain from participating. COPLAC's reasoning for a boycott of the summit is correct; it described the endeavour as "US-Israeli manoeuvring designed to wipe Palestine from the map and liquidate the rights of the Palestinian people."
COPLAC's statement asserts its support for the liberation of Palestine. In an interview last month, the Confederation's President, Rafael Araya Masri, declared that Israel's Jewish Nation-State Law is "making the two-state solution practically unfeasible." In its absence, he says, Palestinians will continue fighting for "a secular and democratic state."
If this stance is sustained, a new departure from the two-state compromise will have been achieved. The Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), to which COPLAC is linked, is still tethered to two-state diplomacy.
So far, opposition to the Manama summit has been based upon its direct confrontation with the established parameters of the two-state paradigm. The Senior Adviser to US President Donald Trump on this issue, his son-in-law Jared Kushner, has already stated that the so-called "deal of the century" will not mention a two-state solution. "If you say 'two-state,' it means one thing to the Israelis, it means one thing to the Palestinians," he claimed. Kusher's solution is apparently to refrain completely from even mentioning it.
READ: US delegation in Israel to discuss Bahrain conference
Of course, the issue is not just about terminology, but the outcome of the conference which does not intend Palestinians to gain any of their legitimate rights, let alone a hypothetical state. Yet the majority of entities opposing the summit are refusing explicitly to discuss the perils of pitting Trump's plans against the obsolete two-state compromise. If COPLAC has indeed broken away from the two-state rhetoric, Palestinians in Latin America and elsewhere have a rallying point that can connect to the Palestinian struggle inside the colonised and occupied Palestinian territories.
Support for Palestine in Latin America has always been visible; not only is it home to a Palestinian diaspora with the largest community residing in Chile, but it is also a region that shares similar history with Palestine due to colonisation and subsequent US-backed dictatorships. The call for Palestinian liberation emanating from Latin America is thus indeed special, considering that the region as a whole is also still adhering to the two-state rhetoric. Breaking away from the international impositions to voice Palestinian liberation alongside Palestinians is a necessary step if Trump's deal and the two-state compromise are to be halted permanently.
However, "Palestinian liberation" has also been used in contexts where liberation is not a priority for those making use of the slogan. Take the Palestinian Authority, for example; it speaks of liberation when it has compromised on all Palestinian rights and turned against the Palestinian people in the process.
At a time when Palestine has been fragmented by all of the political actors involved, regardless of whether they have professed support for Palestinian rights or not, it is important to define the term in accordance with the demands of the people of Palestine in the occupied territories as well as the diaspora. From then onwards, anyone speaking of liberation must, unequivocally, commit themselves to the politics determined by the Palestinian people themselves.

FBI releases photos of rioter wanted over murder of cop during Capitol building attack
The FBI has released photos of a man of interest in relation to the death of a police officer killed in last week's Capitol riots. Capitol officer Brian Sicknick, 42, tragically lost his life on Thursday, Jan 7, after reportedly being hit over the head with a fire extinguisher during the Capitol riots.
Almost a week after his death, investigators have released a screenshot from a video that shows a rioter throwing a fire extinguisher that hits a Capitol police officer on the head.
The bureau also released another photo that shows an older, bearded man wearing a blue, knitted hat with the letter "CFD" stitched on to it, and they have urged anyone who recognizes him to get in touch as soon as possible.
Police officer Sicknick died as a result of injuries he sustained during the riots – including a blow to the head by a fire extinguisher, according to two law enforcement sources, reports AP.
Prosecutors in the US Attorney's office plan to open a federal murder investigation into Sicknick's death, according to CNN.The post FBI releases photos of rioter wanted over murder of cop during Capitol building attack appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

The news that Elddis would be resurrecting Compass for 2014 – some four years after it discontinued the brand – certainly came out of the blue.
Three ranges were launched, the entry-level Corona, the mid-market Omega and the upmarket Rallye, giving a total of 12 new models, all featuring layouts that will be popular with buyers. The Compass Rallye 574 offers a premium-package interpretation of the fashionable fixed twin-single-beds floor plan.
All Compass caravans use Al-Ko chassis and running gear. This differentiates them from Elddis products, which run on BPW.
The Rallye 574 has Al-Ko's ATC anti-snaking system as standard. Alloy wheels, a colour-coded awning rail and a wide gas locker all feature, as do external gas and electrical points.
An LED awning light sits atop a two-piece caravan door. Smart blue and grey graphics contrast well with the black colour scheme of the front of the caravan.
Elddis may not have rushed to include sunroofs in its caravans, but the Rallye joins the upmarket Crusader range in sporting them for this season. A cream-coloured surround wraps around the sunroof and extends rearwards to frame the rooflight. Daylight positively floods in thanks to all the windows, so the lounge – with its light-coloured cabinetwork – will never feel dingy.
The parallel seats are firm and comfortable, with pronounced knee rolls. Between them, a centre chest has two drawers at knee height, and an extendable top that's just right for placing your drinks and snacks.
For more formal entertaining there's a drinks cabinet in the space above the nearside dresser. You will also find a TV point here.
With a dual-fuel hob for maximum flexibility, as well as a microwave, separate oven/grill and a 113-litre fridge, there's everything that caravanning cooks could need to entertain in the Compass Rallye 574.
A rectangular sink sits above the fridge. In addition, the work surface to the left of the sink can be extended via a pull-out flap.
The end washroom follows a familiar configuration, with a cassette toilet in the offside corner and a shower cubicle at the opposite end. In between sit a vanity unit with a wide sink, a half-length mirror and a toothbrush holder. A towel rail is positioned above the Alde heating vents.
The washroom doesn't seem particularly cramped. We found there is good room to move around and everything feels as though it's in the right place.
The fixed twin single beds are the unique selling point of this floor plan, as they offer unimpeded access to the washroom.
The 574's interpretation of the layout is a good one – the washroom door seems quite narrow, presumably to increase the width of each bed. Up front in the lounge, the parallel seats convert easily into a spacious double bed.
The front sunroof means that the lounge has to forego a pair of overhead lockers, but there are still two on each side. Another two overhead lockers can be found in the kitchen, and a cupboard sits to the right of the oven.
Opposite, a half-length wardrobe is located above further cupboard space, and there are three overhead lockers (with handles, rather than positive catches) situated over both of the twin single beds. The beds raise on gas struts to reveal storage beneath – this can also be accessed via locker doors on the side of the tourer.
In terms of specification, the four-berth Compass Rallye 574 goes head-to-head with some illustrious rivals (such as the Bailey Unicorn II Cadiz, Lunar Clubman SB and Swift Conqueror 565) and more than holds its own.
It looks sharp inside and out, is well equipped and good value for money, too. Buyers get the benefits of Elddis's SoLiD construction technique, plus a 10-year bodyshell integrity warranty. The 574 is a great return to form from Compass.

Community to benefit from free...
Community to benefit from free telephone lines
More than 25 public sector telephone numbers relating to health, housing and finance are now free to call.
The change is the latest initiative funded by the Isle of Man Government in response to the rising cost of living, and is available to Island residents using local telecoms providers.
The list of phone numbers that will be free to call include all GP's across the Island, the Social Security hotline, the Winter Help Advice Line, and more.
People wishing to contact one of the included services can do so using the usual number with no added charge.
A full list of the numbers that are now free to call can be viewed online.
Cabinet Office Minister, Kate Lord-Brennan MHK said:
'This announcement of essential numbers being made free to call is another part of Government's support package to help ease the impact of rising costs of living. Those who rely on calling for advice or support, particularly those who are vulnerable, on lower incomes or are elderly, can now do so without the added worry of being charged.
'It is important to note that none of the numbers have been changed, you can still call the usual number for the service.'
Government has announced this as further support to help residents with the rising costs of living, particularly for those who are more vulnerable, on lower incomes or are elderly and rely on phones to communicate. This initiative also implements a recommendation made by the Tynwald Select Committee on Poverty in July 2021.
