Another solid proof for existence of ether. Simple and repetitive bacterial transmutation of lighter elements to elemental gold discovered by Our team in 2014.
"1.Introduction to the discovery
Modern civilization is increasingly struggling with the lack of readily available deposits of precious metals, and finding cheap and safe sources of clean energy is an even more serious and pressing challenge. If these problems, particularly those relating to energy issues, will not be resolved in this century, civilization may be in existential threat.
According to currently recognized scientific theories, phenomena such as fusion and transmutation of elements under non-stellar conditions (or under radioactive decay conditions) are not considered to be possible a nd worth testing by most academic community.
On the basis of repeatedly repeated experiments carried out by our amateur team, carried out under undemanding conditions (confirmed by analytical results), it can be concluded that the transmutation of lighter elements into elemental gold (allotropically in colloidal form) can be obtained.
At this moment,there is no uniform theory explaining the phenomena occurring in the described experiments.However, some suspicions will be presented later in this description, as a list of hypotheses and theories that, if interpreted together, could provide some explanation and simplify the analysis of the phenomenon.
One of the most interesting theoretical evidence for the described phenomenon lies in the summation of the atomic number of elements necessary for this type of transmutation to occur, which was determined by the elimination of components as a result of a series of experiments.
2*1H+8O+ 16S+ 25Mn+ 28Ni= 79Au
If the reader at this point agrees with such an absurd equation, contradictory to mainstream science, please continue reading. In the text below, a complete description of the experiment is provided, sufficient to empirically prove the above thesis.
As the reader can easily guess, one of the key substrates in the above process is ordinary water. Most likely, the phenomenon takes place with the participation of bacteria that reduce metal ions, which under the conditions of the prepared mixture regain their old metabolic feature, which is not manifested in the conditions of the modern habitats of these organisms.
The described process of transmutation was discovered around 2014 by Maciej Zwierzyk, born on January 21, 1988 in Bielsko-Biała, (Poland). A second member of the team joined later. His name is Sławomir Piela, born on August 14, 1988 in Bielsko-Biała, (Poland) who joined to the discoverer of the process after getting acquainted with his hypotheses and observations.
Analytical tests were carried out by a befriended commercial laboratory.
Attention! Trials and experiments as described below should only be carried out at your own risk, we are not responsible for the long-term effects of exposure to yet unknown and untested effects and products of biological transmutation.
-a glass container (in the experiments, a used jar left after food products with a volume of 200 to 500 ml with a cap was successfully used, in the case of choosing another container, the rule must be kept that the vessel must be made of glass)
-Water (tap water is sufficent,do not boiled)
-white vinegar
-balsamic vinegar (use low-priced and low quality product on purpose,its necessarily to be a blends coming from the Modena region in Italy)
-dishwashing fluid(use low-priced and low quality product on purpose,its should contain a surfractants based on sulphur compounds)
-fresh vegetable oil(rapessed oil was succesfully used in trials)
-gasoline(preferable low boiling point fractions blend without additives)
-kerosene(without additives)
-elemental nickel source(copper-nickel alloy made coins or nickel dust was used in experiments)Caution! Nickel dust is hazardous and toxic material,avoid inhalation!
-elemental manganese source(brass alloy containing 1% manganese made coins or liquid sulphur manganese compounds based fertilizers was used in described experiments,its possible to make a trial by using small amounts of potassium permanganate, however, its strong bactericidal properties significantly reduce the chance of success,the manganese steel has not been tested yet)
-elemental sulphur(well ground, in large excess to the rest of the substrates)
-sandstones (in the form of several centimeter stones, appropriate specimens in the photos)
-flints (several pieces of small river pebbles, light-colored specimens, preferably with visible overgrowths of rusty inclusions, examples in the photos)
-hard ferrite ceramic magnets(ferrite magnets probably based on barium ferrite from old loudspeakers was used in experiments,the shape is irrelevant )
-iron oxides and iron hydroxides mixed (necessarily in form of natural formed rust,with residual steel after long physical contact with weather conditions)
Specific order of placing the substrates in a container (surprisingly) does not matter much.In case of using potassium permanganate as manganese source, there may be the oxidation reaction of acetic acid(caution this is exothermic reaction,apply excess vinegar portion after oxidation reaction,add balsamic vinegar in the next step).
the exact proportions of materials are also not crucial for the initation of the process (the issues of efficiency remain undetermined, further trials and tests are necessary).It can be assumed that the non-polar phase should constitute 1/3 of entire volume of liquid.Mixing ratio for vegetable oil/kerosene/gasoline mixture can be simplifed as 1:1:1 by volume.
Most likely, the ideal proportion of nickel to manganese is the stoichiometric molar ratio (estimates should be made depending on the sources of these metals used).
Flint and sandstones should fill the water phase equally.Ceramic ferrite magnet should occupy at least a quarter of the bottom surface of the glass container.
Nikel-copper Coins or nikel plates should be placed in an amount corresponding to 5-7 cm2 of area of nikel surface per one 500 ml jar.
In case of use of nikel dust, a thin (less than 1mm) layer at the bottom of the jar that is proportionate to its own dimensions is sufficient.
After placing all the materials in the container, mix it several times (shaking is sufficent).
The stones and all other materials should be in contact with the foamed emulsion for several dozen seconds (before the mixture become delaminated).
The whole process should be carried out at room temperature. The effects of the transmutation begin to be visible after about a week. The container should not be tightly closed, because during the process, gaseous hydrogen sulphide is released from the mixture (it was found after a very intense smell, do not leave the mixture in living quarters).
3. Results and Conclusions
The simplest method to facilitate the detection of gold after the process is to use copper-nikel coins or nickel plates as a source of nickel. When the gold color appears on their surface, remove the coins (using tweezers, avoid contact with the skin!) From the mixture, then rinse the coins in a water solution of sodium citrate(a buffer for colloidal gold) . this action will facilitate laboratory tests (it is possible to saturate the solution with more gold nanoparticles, which will simplify detection).
Manganese compounds also turn a gold-like color, however, analytical tests and an nitric acid test confirm the presence of elemental gold particles that were not present in the mixture before.
During the transmutation process, changes in the size of the gold nanoparticles are (indirectly) visible on the nickel surface (from red, purple to black in the form of nanowires).
Some caution should be keep when working with the mixture over 7 days from the start of the process (avoid contact with the skin, use rubber gloves), we have not yet tested all the elements and compounds that may appear as a result of biological transmutation, it can be hypothetically assumed that in addition to elemental gold, there are new elements such as:
-Iridium 77Ir (characteristic rainbow-like discoloration appears in the mixture, most probably not due to ordinary contact of hyrdcarbon/water phase)
-Platinum 78Pt(a purely hypothetical assumption, not confirmed by any research)
-Mercury 80Hg(Its appearance is unlikely to occur, however extra precautions should be taken, but it can be assumed that it will bind to excess sulphur in the mixture)
During the process,some color changes also in the non-polar phase can be observed, there are small, black particles that reduce optical transparency are made, it is probably some form of alotropic carbon (most likely soot), but one of the more exotic possibilities is the appearance of a fullerene particles formed from hydrocarbon chains after detaching the hydrogen atoms transformed into hydrino particles (explanation of missing neutrons in the equation).
This is a hypothetical assumption, perhaps by analogy (gold appears in the form of expanding nanoparticles) bacteria synthesize fullerenes in order to take advantage of their unique properties. Experiments carried out in Japan have confirmed the ability to shield the radiation of radioactive elements trapped in fullerene structures. Fullerene particles rotate around their own axes with relativistic velocities, which can cause phenomena in the field of quantum mechanics (e.g. tunneling).
4.List of theories and hypotheses that may facilitate the explanation of the phenomenon in the described process:
A. Hydrino Theory:
-After estimating the number of neutrons, regardless of the istopes present in the natural substrates, the problem of missing neutrons appears in the product of the described transmutation. According to the Hydrino Theory, it is possible to overcome the Coulomb barrier by a hydrogen atom in the isotopic form of protium with an electron with a reduced potential, which increases the probability of tunneling.
B.Unique properties of water:
-In recent years, the scientific community has discovered new, previously unpredictable properties of water, e.g. a significant change in physical parameters (mainly in terms of structural differences in hydrogen bonds between molecules) of this unique compound depending on temperature (at ordinary atmospheric pressure). New discoveries force biologists to re-analyze the influence of e.g. the average temperature of the first Earth's oceans on the development of the early known life forms, our team speculates that at a time when mitochondria were still separate organisms, biological processes had a huge impact on the geology and even the elemental composition of the young Earth's surface.
Our team conducted several other repeatable experiments to confirm this thesis (the results of tests on changes of silica crystalline structures even led to support the hypothesis of reality as a holographic simulation) These experiences will be thoroughly described, provided that if description of the above experiment will results in an influx of many reports of successful replication.
C. OHMASA gas concept:
-Increasingly groups of researchers and hobbyists describe research on the electrolysis of water mechanically stimulated to vibrations with the use of ultrasounds of the appropriate spectrum. According to the concept, the gas resulting from such a process is not an ordinary mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. The interaction of the so-called water clusters with the zero point energy (the base vacuum energy, the resulting gas captures part of the potential) would be responsible for the different physical parameters of OHMASA gas. It is possible that the bacteria also use a similar phenomenon in described transmutation process. Several studies conducted by our team showed unusual changes in the properties of water in contact with ferrite magnets after the flow of small currents at the contact of the liquid with the edges of the magnets. The observed phenomena are so unusual that they require separate study after more detailed research that we have not yet conducted, due to their specific nature and difficult conditions. It should be added that in the deep and old geological layers there are deposits of ferrites of biological origin, according to the researchers, these are fossils of bacteria that had endogenous ferrite micro-magnets acting as an additional sense organ.
D.Mitochondrion as a mini-particle accelerator hypothesis:
-In the 1960s, there were suggestions in some scientific circles that some sturctures of the bacterial mitochondria can be considered under appropriate conditions as a miniatureparticle accelerator that accelerating hydrogen atoms to synthesize heavier elements. These hypotheses have been somewhat forgotten (as opposed to, for example, the CL Kervran hypothesis) even in the circles of amateur researchers.
E. Bacterial transmutation:
-Speculations about bacterial transmutation usually focus on the bacteria that reduce iron ions commonly found in the environment, our team justifies the need for the use of rust in the experiment that was after contact with normal environmental conditions (dust and rains depositing the spores of the appropriate bacteria on the substrate).
F. Specific structure defects giving the properties of a cold fusion catalyst to iron oxides complexes.
G. The so-called "Strange Radiation":
-For several years, independent LENR researchers have reported the observation of the so-called "Strange radiation", which, according to assumptions, would have a sufficient potential to overcome the Coulomb barriers and would allow transmutation phenomena to occur under mild conditions. Our team also observed some anomalies, e.g. in the structures of polymers located a short distance from the places where the described tests were carried out (disturbances in hydrogen bonding turn out to be the key once again). However, we consider "strange radiation" as a phenomenon of a potential, charge and intermediate state between matter and fields, the interactions of which with known matter are very difficult to predict at this point. if the reader is interested in our point of view, we refer to the works of the forgotten Polish inventor, engineer Franciszek Rychnowski. He was probably one of the first professional researchers to come across this phenomenon and analyze it (however, the results of his research in the 1920s exposed him to ostracism from mainstream science).
5.Motivation of this publication and projected goals:
As a small, amateur team, we believe in the creativity, determination and ingenuity of the independent research community. For recent years, there has been a significant need to find a simple and repeatable method to prove the existence of phenomena that mainstream science has wrongly forgotten, which has led to a situation in which, despite huge financial expenses, no breakthrough has been made, for example in the field of cheap, safe energy production.
Hot fusion reactors since decades are anecdotally only ten years from commercial launch.
Also, the development of new technologies of advanced catalysts and materials is increasingly hampered by the volatile or galloping prices of rare elements and the influence of monopoly states' policies in the markets of some rare raw materials. Without a breakthrough in, for example, solid state physics or the unified field theory, it will not be possible, for example, to develop new types of space travel propulsion systems. Civilization is actually beginning to suffer severely by getting stuck in the use of some outdated technologies, largely due to the over-financial costs and over-sophistication of new but non-breakthrough solutions.
Our team is really taking into account that in the next three decades a bizarre situation will take place in which, due to the developing space mining, it is possible that certain interest groups will pressure governments and large institutions to introduce prohibitive duties on the import of rare and valuable elements from space to Earth, which could lead to another technological stagnation. The mere recognition and ecceptation by science of the possibility of transmuting of elements under mild conditions should prevent such hypothetical situations into the future and focus research on the right directions.
All of this, in our opinion, is in the hands of relentless open-minded researchers who want the true grassroots progress of civilization. This is why we want to share our methods.
If our publication become noticed and properly used by the community of independent experimenters, the only reward that we expect will be to fulfill the request for voluntary support for the foundation we intend to establish in near future. In the current assumption , the main goal of the planned foundation will be to popularize knowledge among oncological patients in our country about the discoveries in the field of a combination of cheap and common drugs, the effectiveness of which is confirmed by massive trials and clinical therapies in Western Europe countries (the combination of Syrosyngopine and Metformin in tretment of lots types of tumors). In Poland, we can now talk about an epidemic of cancer (many people close to us have died in recent years). Unfortunately, this social catastrophe was overshadowed by the more medial Sars CoV 2 virus epidemic, which, moreover, took a huge toll in our country mainly due to the collapse of the health care system. The main reason of which was the many years of cumulative neglect of this field by central authorities. We are currently dealing with a domino effect in the Polish healthcare system.
Of course, our amateur team want to support the search for solutions that may lead to the breakthrough dreamed by many enthusiasts in the field of cold fusion and transmutation, but it is necessary to recognize our methods and hypotheses in the research community as well as constructive criticism.
We consider the knowledge we have gathered so far only to be the tip of the iceberg. If we obtain higher technical possibilities, we will surely obtain new, practical information, which we will gladly share in the current open form, which is our conscious choice"

Reminds me of Grebennikov shape power. I don't believe pattern on the screen would
have any effect on directing etheric streams other than self-suggestion, i tried it quickly.
But this seems like a good place to report what happened the other day, about 10min
after experimenting with flyback transformer, i accidentally noticed when i put my hand
near the ferrite core a tingling sensation, this was surely not an ionization, at least
10min passed, all was disconnected and i blew hard just to make sure no ions are
there. Still tingling sensation remained about 5cm near the core and closer for some
time after. I felt it the most on the side of the core, the corner, where the primary
winding ends. Maybe it was just cause i was mostly holding my hand in that place
but it seemed to be coming from the ferrite.

I know it sounds implausible, but it is real.
And while I can't say if you will feel anything, you very well might!
Give it a shot, place your palm tot he center of this image moving your hand towards and away from the screen.

Rather late reply to stivep
Stivep felt that what I presented is fantasy, but while I can appreciate surprise that light might affect some under-recognized phenomena to the extent that it might manifest a tangible phenomena...
And that the science behind it might be useful to those interested in Free Energy and other such research, I can assure you that IS the case.
It is easily demonstrated that the phenomena is real, and that it is sensible and explainable.
IS IT SANE TO THINK AN IMAGE COULD HAVE A PHYSICAL EFFECT?
So first let us consider if physics allows light to manifest an effect on something in the background of space?
Matter is 99.9999% empty space, and so if matter can have much impact on the vast majority of space it would need to be electromagnetic!
Secondly light in theory according to conventional understanding must manifest gravity just as matter does just less.
Light can push around matter and cut matter.
So if light is abundantly energy dense to affect matter, and if most of the effect matter has on "space" is electromagnetic, then we can conclude that if there is anything to affect in space that matter can affect then light too should be able to place an influence of whatever this mysterious phenomena might be!
WHY SHOULD THERE BE SOMETHING TO BE INFLUENCED BY LIGHT?
Psychists recognize (and logically could not possibly rule out) the likely or definite existence of various various under-explored phenomena in the background of space:
Every culture has had a terms and various recognitions an Aether, Orgone, Chi, Life force energy, Kundalini, Scalar and many other names besides.
But physics also recognizes virtual particles, dark matter and while the Luminiferous Aether is out of vogue (never disproven) there are other Aethers that are considered as Noble prize winning physicist Frank Wilczek mentions in some of work.
Matter he argues and I would agree is some type of dynamic, some music in the void.
SO WHY SHOULD HANDS DETECT THIS PHENOMENA?
Biology can detect many sensitive things, we know that biological systems can react to lunar phases, to geomagnetic fields and more.
There is no reason to think that biology can't (with varying efficacy) pickup various phenomena.
Clearly there is plenty of research that indicates humans have a 6th sense, an ability to pickup when we are being looked at for instance.
The nature of the effect is that with continued exposure the sensitivity is enhanced generally to an eventually extreme degree.
But most importantly it is NOT just "in the mind".
If it were in the mind then I could not select which of 10 cups has the coil placed under it every time.
If it were in the mind then there wouldn't have been people entirely ignorant of the effect reporting feeling something even when the device is hidden!
The phenomena cannot be in the mind.
WHY SHOULD FREE ENERGY INTERESTED RESEARCHERS CARE?
I learned about the existence of something mysterious in the background of space that was set into motion by various devices by looking at the claims of various devices that produced "Free Energy" or "Antigtavity" or other effects.
I recognized these devices were moving something mysterious and that the effects they developed seldom ended at just one weird violation of normal physics but many and that these effects could NOT be explained with just normal physics!
Kinetic, electromagnetic, chemical and nuclear physics were utterly insufficient to explain the phenomena!
If you look you can find that various Free Energy devices use some of the effects I have discovered and ultimately most-all make more sense when looked at with my discoveries.
This phenomena is easily proven as significant percentage of the population feels the energy, about 50% but it varies by population.
Humankind won't significantly advance technologically or in other ways until this science is embraced!

European sales 2019-H1 Minicar segment
The minicar segment in Europe reverses its decline in the second quarter of 2019 as European car buyers took delivery of nearly 340.000 minicars, a 2% gain on 2018 and leading to a 1% loss in the first half, compared to an overall market loss of 3,6%. After a dip below the 30% mark in Q1, Fiat's dominance in this segment rebounds to 31,2% in Q2 with its two models. The Fiat 500 manages to outsell its sibling Fiat Panda by a slight margin, but not enough to reclaim the segment crown for the first half of the year. These two models are surprisingly resilient considering the 500 is in its 12th year without any major redesign and the Panda in its 8th year but is still the best performer in the segment top-10 for the first half of 2019. Surprisingly, the #3 best selling minicar in Europe in the second quarter was the Renault Twingo, helped by the recent facelift of the model. As a result, the Twingo has passed the long-time #3 of the segment Volkswagen Up! in the first-half ranking to claim 4th place behind the Toyota Aygo, after the Japanese model already leapfrogged the Up! in Q1.

The minicar segment in Europe continues its decline in the first quarter of 2019, although it has lost less than the overall market. In the first three months of 2019, European car buyers took delivery of 331.285 minicars, a 3% loss on 2018. The share of the total European car market is slightly up from 8,0% to 8,1% as the overall market showed an even stronger decline. Fiat's dominance in this segment shrinks to a share of 29,7% with its two models, compared to 30% in Q1 of 2018 but up on the 28,7% for the full year 2018. Surprisingly, the aging Panda gained 12% of sales this year and reclaims the top spot from its equally old sibling 500 which is the biggest loser in the segment top-15. This is a worrying trend for the already struggling Italian brand as the 500 has been the cork that kept Fiat afloat for the past decade and more. We find a surprise in third place as the Toyota Aygo knocks the Volkswagen Up! off the podium for the first time since the launch of the latter in 2012. The Aygo sees stable sales this year with a 1% gain while the Up! is down 11% into fourth place. The Renault Twingo loses a similar percentage and holds on to 5th place by the skin of its teeth as the Kia Picanto is up 10% and just 42 sales behind. The Twingo has just received a minor facelift and should be able to distance the Picanto later this year again. The Hyundai i10 also loses by double digits as a next generation is just around the corner. [Read more…]
European sales 2018 Minicar segment
February 12, 2019 by Bart Demandt 1 Comment
Sales of minicars in Europe decline again by 1% in 2018 to 1,24 million units, which means their share of the total European car market is slightly down from 8,1% in 2017 to 8,0%, which is not a bad performance considering there haven't been any major updates to any of the models in this segment in 2018. Despite the lack of investment by manufacturers due to the slim margins on this kind of vehicle, the segment is expected to stabilize at this level sales until 2020. Fiat's dominance in this segment shrinks to a share of 28,7% with its two models, as the aging Panda lost 10% of its volume while the 500 maintains stable despite being just about as old. The decline of the Italian market and the Panda's dependence on its home market are the biggest reason for that model's troubles, as Italy is responsible for more than the Panda's lost volume, meaning sales outside Italy actually increased and the share of its home market is down from 78% to 73,9%. The 500 also loses 14.000 sales in Italy but wins them back in other markets, as now just 21,2% of its European registrations happen in its home market, down from 28,5% in 2017. The Volkswagen Up! is down 3% to just below 100.000 sales but manages to hold on to its podium place that it has held ever since its first full year of sales 2012. [Read more…]

The segment is expected to show another small decline in 2018 before stabilizing at about 1,23 million sales until 2020. Fiat remains ultra-dominant in this segmentwith a share of over 30% thanks to its two models. Thanks to an increase of 3%, the Fiat 500 reclaims the segment lead it also held from 2013 to 2015, knocking its sibling Fiat Panda down into 2nd place. Even though their total European volumes are within a few thousand units of each other, there's a big difference in the way these two models achieve these sales. The 500 is successful across almost all of Europe, while the Panda is heavily dependent on its home market Italy, which accounts for 78% of its sales (or almost 146.000 units), compared to just 28,5% for the 500 (or nearly 54.000 sales). The closest rival to the Italian duo, [Read more…]

European sales 2017 Q1-Q3: Minicar segment
November 11, 2017 by Bart Demandt 1 Comment
The minicar segment shows a slight recovery in Q3 of 2017 with a gain of 1% but is still down by 1% for the first 9 months of 2017, with almost 980.000 sales. Fiat's share of the segment is down on the first half of the year but up on the first three quarters of 2016, with 30,6% share of the segment and holding on to the top two positions with the 500 and Panda. The Volkswagen Up! remaims #3 of the segment, with less than half the sales of the best seller, but was the only model in the segment that showed double-digit growth in Q3. However, it was still outsold by the Hyundai i10 in the third quarter, the fastest growing model in the year-to-date top-5. The gap between the two models is too large to be closed in the last quarter, so another podium finish for the Up! seems to be wrapped up. The fifth placed Toyota Aygo is the best seller of the Kolin triplets, built together with PSA, and also the only of the three to continue growing its sales, as the Peugeot 108 and Citroën C1 are both down by double digits. The same can be said of the remaining two members of the VW triplets, Skoda Citigo and Seat Mii.
European sales 2017 first half: Minicar segment
August 8, 2017 by Bart Demandt 2 Comments
The minicar segment continues to shrink in 2017 as has been forecasted by analysts, before it is expected to stabilize until 2020. Since minicars are unaffected by competition from crossovers, the segment is expected remain stable after a second year of small declines. Despite the downturn for the segment, minicars still account for 8,3% of new car sales in Europe with just over 692.000 sales in the half. Fiat retains the 31,5% share of the segment it held in Q1, up from 30,1% in the first half of 2016 and 28,1% in all of 2016. Both of its models, the Panda and the 500, improve their sales and each sells more than double the volume of any other nameplate in the segment. But while the 500 is popular across most of Europe, the Panda remains extremely dependent on its home market Italy for almost 80% of its sales (vs. 30,5% for the 500). Thanks to a strong second quarter, the 500 closes the gap to the #1 position and could reclaim the segment leadership after just one year of Panda domination. The Volkswagen Up! is down by 3% but holds on to its third place, although the Hyundai i10 is closing in thanks to a 10% increase. In the first half of last year, the i10 was in 6th place but it finished 2016 in 4th place before dropping back to 5th in Q1. This may be the year the South-Korean hatchback jumps onto the segment podium.

Sales of minicars in Europe lost 5% in the first quarter of 2017 with 360.000 units sold, compared to an overall market growth of 7,8%. Fiat remains segment leader with two models on top, and both outgroing the rest of the segment, to increase its total share to 31,5%. After reclaiming the lead from its sibling Fiat 500, the Fiat Panda consolidates its first place, but once again it is extremely dependent on its home market Italy which accounts for 81,8% of its total European sales (up from 78,4% in 2016-Q1), compared to "just" 31,6% for the 500. In third place we still find the Volkswagen Up!, but the Toyota Aygo is just 700 units behind after taking third place in February. And the Hyundai i10 isn't far away in fifth place either, after being the fastest growing model in the segment top-10. [Read more…]
With a bit of a delay we'll start with the European segment analyses for 2016, starting of course with the minicar segment. Sales of minicars in Europe were stable in 2016 with 1,33 million units sold, compared to an overall market growth of 6,2%. Fiat still holds the top 2 spots of the podium and grows its share of the segment to over 28%, but after 3 years of Fiat 500 reign the Fiat Panda has reclaimed leadership of the segment it led from 2004 until 2012. The Volkswagen Up! holds on to its third place but loses 8% of its volume. The Renault Twingo, leader of the segment between 1999 and 2003, is knocked down into 5th place by the Hyundai i10 and feels the Toyota Aygo breathing down its neck. All three models lose volume in 2016. The Smart Fortwo is the biggest winner in the top-10 with sales up 21%, jumping four places on 2015 and two places on Q3 of 2016. The small two seater even outsold the Aygo in Q4. [Read more…]

European sales 2016 Q1-Q3 Minicar segment
November 24, 2016 by Bart Demandt Leave a Comment
With a bit of a delay we'll start with the European segment analyses for the first three quarters of 2016, starting of course with the minicar segment. After growing 5% in the first half of the year, sales of Europe's smallest cars have dropped in Q3, reducing the year-to-date growth rate to just 1%. The slowdown of the Volkswagen Up! and the Fiat Panda are largely responsible for this, and this has enabled the Fiat 500 to outsell its sibling in Q3 and threaten it for the segment's full year top position which it has held since 2013. The third place of the Up! appears unthreatened, but the Renault Twingo has dropped from 4th place in the first half to 6th place after nine months after being outsold by the Toyota Aygo and Hyundai i10. The latter of these two was the #3 seller of the segment in Q3, even topping the little VW. The Lancia Ypsilon holds on to its 7th place, but all five of its closest challengers in places 8 to 12 were within 150 sales of each other in Q3 and all outsold the Ypsilon this quarter.

Maurizio Sarri Labels His Juventus Move a Step Up from Chelsea FC
June 20, 2019 By paulmbanks 1 Comment
Chelsea FC fans may not want to hear this, but Maurizio Sarri is completely correct when he labeled his move from Stamford Bridge to Juventus a step up. Juve does indeed have a superior tradition and history of winning. (I mean, after all, the Chelsea SB Nation community is named "We Ain't Got No History," albeit in a sardonic manner)
Today was the Sarri product rollout at Juventus, and during the media session the Italian called his new gig the "crowning achievement of a long and difficult career."

"I've taken a long road to get here, from Serie C2 to B, A, Premier League and now Juventus. It's special to be here. It's the best squad in Italy," Maurizio Sarri said.
"I'm coming from Chelsea, which has an inferior history to that of Juventus. It's another step forward for me."
While Sarri is right, he could have definitely taken the higher road, been classier and refrained from taking what some might deem digs at his former employer.
Then again, his one campaign at Chelsea was filled with turmoil and a lot of Blues supporters were extremely critical and harsh on him, despite all that he accomplished this past season.
Sarri, who signed a three-year deal with the Old Lady, now gets the opportunity to manage global superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, and a club that has won the Serie A title the past eight seasons.
"Coaching Ronaldo is also an escalation," Sarri continued.
"I coached great players at Chelsea but with him it's the best in the world. He already holds all of the records you can have in world football but I would like help him break some more records."
He's also well aware that his appointed to the global superpower has been met with mixed reviews. It wasn't until last month's Europa League final that Maurizio Sarri finally won a major trophy in his coaching career.

"I am used to skepticism," he said today in Turin.
"When I arrived in Serie C, everybody was skeptical, and it was the same to begin with at Empoli, at Napoli and when I got to Chelsea, they were all skeptical.
"Now here at Juventus, I think there could be a bit less skepticism, but that comes from my history. I only know one way of taking skepticism away and that is by winning and convincing."
Midfielder Jorginho, who moved with Sarri from Napoli to Chelsea last summer, said earlier this month that if Sarri were to take this job, it would be viewed as a betrayal to Neapolitans.

— FutbolBible (@FutbolBible) June 20, 2019
Now they are rumors that Jorginho will actually follow Sarri again to his new club. It's a long transfer window, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see who Sarri's first Juve signing is.

If you sported socks with sandals five years ago, you would have been considered fashion illiterate. But here's a surprising twist to the look — wearing socks with heels is the latest uber-cool fashion trend for the winter.
This look was seen dominating the runway, with supermodel Gigi Hadid rocking the runway in frilly wool socks that she paired with metallic heels.
Whether you wear heels with sheer stockings, frilly wool socks, patterned ones or good-old sports socks, classics like court shoes, stilettos or brogue heels will instantly get upgraded to high-fashion status.
Singer Kavya Trehan, who sported the look at a fashion event in Bengaluru recently, says. "I feel comfy for winter, yet look cool. I got a lot of compliments for the look. I would suggest tying your strappy heels tight so that the socks don't slip off them. Also, ensure you coordinate the socks with the dress."
The trend is set to make a presence in the fashion scene this year as well, so get in to the act early and pave the way for a socks revolution.


From an outsider's perspective, being a sailing or powerboating instructor can seem like a pretty ideal way of life: you get to play around in other people's boats and, if you're very lucky, you can end up in some pretty amazing locations getting paid for the privilege.
And the basic fact is that instructing is a pretty amazing job – but there is generally one drawback – money. Whichever way you look at it, it doesn't always pay that well and with this in mind that the RYA have set up a new membership package for its instructors.
The RYA realises that it needs to provide some more tailor-made benefits for instructors, as the RYA's Marketing Manager, Steve Gray, explains: "For a membership organisation like the RYA, loyalty is absolutely vital if we are to flourish. It was with this in mind that we decided to set up a range of benefits for RYA qualified instructors.
"We all know that while instructing is great fun, it is also not the best paid profession, so we realised that if we were going to keep instructors as members, we would have to ensure that we had benefits that were specifically designed to suit their needs.
The new benefits will be unique to instructors and include exclusive discounts on an instructor's range of Musto clothing and a special price on the custom designed and branded Spinlock Deck Vest, and the complete Deckware Series range. There will also be offers on a custom buoyancy aid in the future, along with other periodic one-off deals and discounts.
There are no extra costs associated with having Instructor membership. You just need to be an RYA member and an RYA Instructor. Existing RYA member/instructors will automatically receive their new instructor membership card at their next renewal and will receive automatic notification of their exclusive benefits which will be accessible via the RYA website.
As an added incentive of the membership, RYA Instructor members will receive commission on any new RYA members they sign up. For each new full member who joins, as recommended by the RYA Instructor member, the instructor will receive £7.50 commission, so by signing up just six new members each year your annual subs are more than covered. New members can join quickly and easily via the online joining point.

Core Values vs. Common Sense: Consequentialist Views Appear Less Rooted in Morality
Explaining subjective value in negotiation with a theory of situations. (Under review at Management Science)
This research elucidates predictors of subjective value in negotiation by introducing and empirically testing a novel theory of situations. We analyzed 510 stories about a range of negotiations to investigate personal and situational antecedents of subjective value in negotiation: namely, negotiators' feelings about their outcomes, the self, the process, and the relationship they established during the negotiation. Personality variation explained little variance in subjective value, with Emotionality and Agreeableness negatively predicting negotiator feelings. Adding variation in situational Control, Uncertainty, Relatedness, Valence, and Engagement—the CURVE dimensions—allowed us to explain over 60% of the variance in some aspects of subjective value in negotiation. Control and Valence positively predicted different aspects of subjective value; Uncertainty negatively predicted, whereas Engagement positively predicted, feelings about the outcomes; and Relatedness positively predicted feelings about the negotiation process and the relationship. These findings advance research on subjective value in negotiation and empirically illustrate the usefulness of the CURVE framework for conceptualizing and comparing situations.
Which losses do we impose on some to benefit others?
Those who have studied the moral intuitions displayed in responding to Trolley Problems have focused on subjects' willingness to cause the death of one party to avert multiple deaths. Here, we explore whether it matters what is being traded off: lives, injuries, or property, for a larger number of lives or injuries, or more valuable property. We find that aggregation – the willingness to sacrifice some party's interests when others will gain more if one does so – is most plainly impermissible when the party is considering trading a smaller for a larger number of deaths, and it is least impermissible when the harmed party is merely injured or loses property to save others' lives. Cases in which the harmed party is injured to save others from injury, or loses property to save more valuable property, are intermediate, closer to the death/death cases. If subjects simply followed either a simple rule that it is impermissible to sacrifice the interests or violate the rights of an individual for the sake of others or a simple rule that they should always seek to maximize aggregate utility, responses to these cases would not be expected to differ; however, responses do differ, which suggests that subjects' judgments are complex and multi-faceted.
Motivated Meanings: An Organizing Framework for Psychological Situations.
Though psychological situations shape human affect, cognition, and behavior, there still exists no clear conceptualization of psychological situations. The current paper offers a novel organizing framework for psychological situations. We posit that goal processes and goal contents influence how individuals engage with situations; that the fundamental dimensions of Engagement, Control, Relatedness, Valence, and Uncertainty (summarized using the acronym CURVE) result from perceptions of goal relevance, affordance, compatibility, progress, and ambiguity, respectively; and that individuals construe situations, choose situations, and change situations in manners consistent with their strivings to fulfill fundamental needs, including the needs for meaning, control, affiliation, self-esteem, and verification. We derive thirteen novel theoretical propositions, review supporting empirical evidence, and illustrate how this motivational perspective builds on, complements, and advances accumulated knowledge about psychological situations.
When an issue becomes a lens: People who moralize an issue view their social world in terms of that issue.
In my dissertation research (with Benoît Monin), I demonstrate that people who moralize an issue use that issue as a lens through which they judge others and make social decisions, which makes it difficult for them to relate to and work with those who disagree with them. While individuals who disagree about non-moral issues can put aside their differences and work together, moral disagreements (even controlling for attitude extremity) create global negative perceptions, hostility and a desire for greater social distance. Even disagreements on novel issues, experimentally framed in moral or non-moral terms, can produce these effects. In one study, participants read about an organization that had decided not to pay for a franchisee's new parking lot, which either had moral implications (because the parking lot emitted a harmful chemical) or was simply a poor business decision (because the parking lot's bad smell was repelling customers and employees); then they read about a coworker (with no influence on the organization's decision) who expressed approval for the decision. Even in this novel context, participants judged this coworker more harshly when the parking lot issue had moral implications than when it only had business implications.
Believing that one's moral standards are personal and individual increases ambivalence about punishment.
The way moralizing affects behavior may depend on how people understand moral standards: specifically, whether they believe moral behavior ought to be a result of actors' own individual moral compass, or whether they recognize the role of shared social and cultural norms in shaping morality. In ongoing work (with Kristin Laurin), I have explored how variation in beliefs about the locus of morality affects, in particular, feelings about punishment and punitive behavior. While punishment can be a constructive enforcement mechanism, it can also be angry and aggressive, and I argue that the potentially aggressive nature of punishment produces strong ambivalence in people who believe morality ought to come from within: these individuals are especially concerned about appearing aggressive themselves, but at the same time they hold norm violators personally responsible and thus feel the strongest disapproval and anger. People who endorse a personal view of morality should therefore show less punishment when they are able to restrain themselves, but more punishment when their anger takes over. Indeed, I show that endorsing a personal view of morality is associated with harsher judgments of both hypothetical norm violators (e.g., a hypothetical coworker who failed to own up to a mistake) and real-life norm violators (real participants acting selfishly in dictator games) and with higher punishment of real violators, but with lower intentions to punish hypothetical violators, who presumably elicit less vivid feelings of disapproval. This work sheds light on the contradictory norms surrounding punishment, and it suggests that individuals' conceptions of the locus of moral motivation may be an overlooked factor in predicting punitive behavior, and perhaps other types of morally motivated behavior as well.
Hypocrites are judged more harshly if their initial statement was morally framed.
Previous research (e.g. Kreps & Monin, under review) suggests that people who make a moral statement are seen as more committed to their stance. In this project, we explore whether these perceptions of increased commitment make it more difficult for people who have made a moralized statement to reverse course, because third parties judge such targets as more hypocritical compared to those who have similarly changed their attitudes but whose initial statement was not morally framed.
Missing the point: People who moralize an issue react negatively to those who do not share their moral basis.
Previous research suggests that people for whom a given domain is sacred not only want others to share their overall position in that domain but also to recognize its sacredness. In this project, we explore whether audiences who moralize a given issue react negatively to speakers who express a position on the same side of the issue that is not morally framed. Despite coming to the correct conclusion, such speakers may be perceived negatively simply for not having the correct basis for their views.

LISTEN: Ex-UCF kicker Donald De La Haye Releases NCAA Diss Track
Josh Sanchez | Aug 8, 2017 6:26 pm | Apr 12, 2021 2:49 pm
Former UCF kicker Donald De La Haye forfeited his college eligibility when he refused the NCAA's request to shut down his YouTube account and stop making sports related videos.
De La Haye chose his passion for online media over football and now he is firing back in a big way.
On Tuesday, De La Haye took to social media to release a NCAA diss track.
Not only is the diss track surprisingly good, it was released on — you guessed it! — his YouTube account. Check it out below.

LIVE REVIEW: Vashti Bunyan, Nørrebro Teater, 06.12.2018
Published on December 8, 2018 in Live Reviews by Here Today
In a genre of soothing singer-songwriters, folk legend Vashti Bunyan is particularly soothing. But if an evening at home with her records is a gentle way to ease your mind, then seeing her play live fills you with warmth and comfort in a way paralleled only by receiving a letter (yes letter, not email) from a friend when you need it most.
Part of this is down to the fact that, aside from being stripped back to just herself and her long time backing guitarist/vocalist Gareth Dickson, her performance is very faithful to her recordings. That unique timbre that makes her voice sound like falling through a cloud carries us through the evening. It's familiar and consistent and still so unlike any of her contemporaries or imitators.
But part of what makes the evening so relaxing is that Bunyan is as much a storyteller between songs as she is in her lyrics. There are anecdotes to accompany each song, whether it's a tale from the 60s or reflections that inspired her more recent work, all filled with laughter. Some of these stories bring unique insight to her music; it's hard not to hear the Beach Boys reference in "I'd Like to Take a Walk Through Your Mind" after learning that she wrote it when Andrew Loog Oldham told her to write a song combining Tim Hardin, the Mamas and the Papas, and Pet Sounds. And there's also triumph of the spirit as Bunyan recounts her long road to recognition.
"Nobody took much notice at the time. I was told my songs were quite uncommercial," she says. "And in the last few years, ['Train Song' has] been used in commercials."
It's quite special that Bunyan is willing to play the old songs, willing to tell the stories behind them, but also willing to look at what she dreamed about in her 20s with clear-eyed experience of someone in her 70s. Bunyan is kind to her younger self and gives us all an opportunity to be kind to the idealistic versions of ourselves that we might keep out of sight. It's this generosity that has the crowd on their feet cheering at the end of her set, and that we can use to counter a harsher reality.

Farm Labor and Overtime Pay Pt 2
Tuesday Jan 18th, 2022 197 Views Washington State Farm Bureau Report
I'm Bob Larson. Among the many challenges facing agriculture in 2022 will be paying workers' overtime. If you've never worked on a farm, this may seem like a no-brainer. But it's something farmers have not had to do in the past.
Tom Davis, Government Relations Director at the Washington Farm Bureau, says the new ag overtime law kicked in on January 1st …
DAVIS … "It'll phase in, anything over 55 hours you'll have to pay overtime and then it will continue to phase in over the next three years. And so, this is an outward look, when the bill is fully implemented, carving out some weeks where people could work more hours, which they want to do, and it won't be as expensive for farmers."
But Davis says when it comes to foreign guestworkers …
DAVIS … "So, we're hit both on the state level and the national level, talk about labor and H-2A workers, the hourly rate for H-2A workers in Washington went up once again. We have some of the highest rates in the nation, and yet we're also one of the biggest users of H-2A because there's not enough domestic workers to fill that need."
And that, Davis says adds up fast …
DAVIS … "So, I think, you know, we're looking at about 25,000 workers that came into the state last year to help produce and harvest our commodities and that's not ending. We're going to have to continue to do that until, you know, until we get a mechanized apple picker, we're going to need workers."
At a projected $17.41 per hour, Davis says Washington state is one of the highest, putting us at a big disadvantage.

Super excited for my little sister, who graduated from college this weekend. It's a tremendous accomplishment for anyone.
There she is rocking the cap and gown. She said I wore complimentary grad colors, which I didn't plan but seeing this picture, I quite agree. Grad gowns aren't exactly the most fabulous outfit, so I caught myself checking out everyone's shoes during the procession. I wore the most fabulous black and white pumps with my grad gown. I saw all sorts of fashionistas repping booties, studs, and wedges today. My sister was no exception.
Adorable chunky Mary Janes from Forever 21. Love it!
After graduation and a delicious Mexican celebration lunch, we took a shopping tour of OKC including this adorable little bookshop called Full Circle that had the most amazing nooks and crannies.
It's the kind of place that makes you want to find a great book, curl up in a corner or by a fire and just get lost. I was ready to toss my Kindle for good and go back to the pages after this trip.
Choosing a book for the road.
And a trip to the city in December isn't complete without a little holiday lighting.

Opposition Leader Philip J Pierre pointed out that for the fiscal year 2017/2018 capital expenditure of 157 million fell 19 million dollars short of the estimates approved for the same year. In 2018/2019 capital expenditure of 143 million dollars fell short by 33 million. Mr. Pierre reasoned that if Government failed to realize smaller levels of capital expenditure for the previous two years it will not be able to implement the capital expenditure for this fiscal year totaling 246 million.

We consider here different models of dissipative Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equations on the torus. Using a proper wave function $\Gamma$, we compare numerically the long time behavior effects of the damping models and we propose a hierarchy between these models. We also introduce a method based on the solution of an inverse problem to rebuild a posteriori the damping operator using only samples of the solution.
Keywords: long time behavior, damping rate, Korteweg-de Vries equations, inverse problem..
