"Botched Robbery" Or Successful Hate Crime?
Two Canadian women were stabbed to death Monday by this woman, Antoinette Pelzer:
She's apparently crazy, and this is being referred to as a "botched" robbery. This is a common trope of reporters covering vicious and brutal attacks on whites—that it was a "botched" robbery, or a robbery "gone wrong." The implication is that the killer didn't mean to kill, just to rob, and if they could have got away with the money, the victim would have been fine.
Toronto women slain in Atlantic City
By Chris Doucette, Toronto Sun
Tuesday, May 22, 2012 8:14:33 EDT PM
Barely 24 hours after what is believed to be a botched purse snatching, the Pennsylvania woman accused of butchering the vacationing Canadians was calm and even had her sense of humour during her first appearance in New Jersey court.
When Superior Court Judge Michael Donio asked Antoinette Pelzer if she had hired a lawyer, the accused stumbled over her words and then began laughing.
"I'm trying to find out where's my public defence, my public, my . . .," she said, before bursting into laughter.
The dishevelled 44-year-old appeared puzzled throughout her arraignment and was surprised when the judge mentioned the two victims — ages 47 and 80 — had died.
"Both?" Pelzer asked.
The accused was also taken aback when the judge explained her robbery and weapons charges had been upgraded to include two counts of murder.
But Pelzer, who apparently has mental health issues, displayed virtually no emotion as Donio detailed the heinous killings she is accused of committing in front of Bally's Atlantic City casino hotel.
It's alleged Pelzer first stabbed the younger woman repeatedly with a 12-inch butcher knife then turned the knife on the elderly woman when she intervened.
"The (younger) victim fell to the ground and while on the ground the suspect attempted to take the victim's pocketbook from her shoulder," Donio alleged. "When the victim would not relinquish (the purse), the suspect stabbed her additional times."[More]
"Botched purse snatching," "the victim would not relinquish"—it could all have been so nice! And you're not likely to see a headline that says "Schizophrenic Black Woman Stabs Two Canadian Women To Death In Obvious Hate Crime."
Curiously, allthough this Toronto Sun report eventually mentions the race of the victims (surprise! they were Asian!), it does not mention the race of the perpetrator.

Happy Friday!! It's a gorgeous day and I am so excited for this weekend. We are heading to the National Zoo in Washington, DC tomorrow with Steve's mom (to celebrate her birthday) and brother's family. I haven't been to the zoo in goodness knows how long. I won't even start guessing how many decades it's been because it's been that long. BUT, the reason I am super excited is because it's Cora's first time at the zoo! I realize she's still a tad young (16 months old) to fully understand what's going on, but I think she is going to love seeing all of the animals and being in a totally different environment. Plus, she gets to hang out with her grandmom and her cousin, Lily, and that's always a fun thing for her.
Sooo, if you couldn't tell, the powder room finally got wallpapered! Our fabulous wallpaper installer, Mel Specht (call him up if you live in the Annapolis area, he's meticulous and fantastic!), installed the wallpaper that I had purchased from eBay (wallpaper was just $40!) and it just looks absolutely stunning! I mean our bathroom wasn't bad to begin with. The dark blue looked just fine in there, but now with the wallpaper. It finally looks polished. Steve and I are both so pleased with it and still can't believe we finally pulled the trigger on it.
Because of the huge lack of natural light in the bathroom, I wasn't able to get the best photos to show you guys all of it, so my apologies. I need to get the hubby's help on this one so there will be more photos coming, promise! Plus, I kind of need to restyle the bathroom since the wall art and accessories don't really go with the wallpaper anymore. But I just had to show you guys a few pics. What do you guys think??
Mel did an amazing job covering the switch plates too!
LOVE! I would never have the balls to do this but it looks fantastic!
Gorgeous paper Christina! It is beautiful.
Have fun this weekend! I want to go to the zoo!
That powder room is insane! I love it!
I bet Cora will have a blast at the zoo. Wish I was going.

Welcome to our last week of Heart of Christmas for 2018. The team and I have really enjoyed bringing you these creations each week. Today I have a bit of a mish mash of cards for you, as I am including the last of my Christmas cards that I haven't had a chance to blog yet.
First up we have this Z-fold card featuring Dashing Deer bundle, Merry Christmas to everyone bundle, and the gorgeous Joyous Noel Designer Paper.
Next up we have this card using Feathers and Frost stamp set, and my favourite sheet of paper from the whole Holiday Catalogue (from the All is Bright DSP pack). This was a super simple card, but the gold sequin trim and foil really give it some festive WOW.
Finally I have a set of 3 cards using Mistletoe Season stamp set, and Under the Mistletoe DSP from the Annual Catalogue.
I hope you have enjoyed the last of my 5 Christmas cards, and this years season of Heart of Christmas. We have really enjoyed sharing our Christmas creating with you. Next week I will be adding the inserts to each of my cards and writing in them, ready to post in early December.
Now it's time to visit the rest of the Art with Heart team who have participated this week. Enjoy!
Welcome to week 13 of Heart of Christmas my friends.
This weeks card features Joyous Noel DSP. It's been a huge seller and Stampin' Up! have indicated this paper is likely to run out before the end of the catalogue. If you like it I would recommend getting in sooner rather than later. I love the beautiful copper foiling on it.
I have combined the DSP with the Peaceful Noel stamp set, and the Twig Punch (these two can be purchased together in a bundle to save 10%).
I love the look of the twigs cut from Copper Foil paper.
My Colour Combination is Early Espresso for the mat on the DSP, Merry Merlot for the stamped greeting, and then the base card and base stamping on that layer is Grey Granite.
Now it's time to check in and see what the fabulous Art With Heart team girls are up to with Heart of Christmas this week.

Episode 162: The Absence of Metaphysics
It's Episode 162 of In the Mood for Podcast, a British-based film podcast hosted by Calum Reed of Ultimate Addict and Pete Sheppard of In the Mood for Blog.
This episode's stacked roster sees six films reviewed, including controversial feminist drama "Suffragette" and concept horror "Circle," as well as Cary Fukunaga's "Beasts of No Nation," which leads us to a discussion of Netflix and the future of film distribution. Pete would have liked to re-cast Yorgos Lanthimos' "The Lobster" with favourable enough actors to get him to watch it, but Cal didn't mind so much, while Denis Villeneuve has to ride some significant preconceptions when we review drug thriller "Sicario." Elsewhere, colourful hats pose a Huston Problem for Cal, and Robert Zemeckis is the flavour of the week, as Pete reviews "The Walk" and we have a chat about Back to the Future in the wake of its 30th anniversary.
The week's news: Chris Rock to host the Oscars, plus Cal reviews "Son of Saul" and "Dheepan" from the London Film Festival!

or Download MP3
Pete's antics in Ibiza are over, so the podcast returns from a fortnightly break, bringing with it five films, and some extremely early news of Foreign Language Oscar submissions. The French are represented well this week, led off by Agnes Jaoui's fairytale-inspired "Under the Rainbow" and followed up by Michel Gondry's eccentric "Mood Indigo," but did the fantasy aspects of both films draw us in or have us running for the hills? Life is far from a fairytale in Abel Ferrara's political drama "Welcome to New York," in which we see far too much of Gerard Depardieu, while the presence of a famous cinematic villain of the past in gay drama "Lilting" ensures that it isn't just The Ben Whishaw Show. All that, plus we finally catch up with Marvel's mega financial and critical hit "Guardians of the Galaxy," with all eyes on one guy in particular. Elsewhere, Pete dares to liken a Larry Olivier film to the Twilight series, we discuss how Colin Firth's eagerness towards a certain leading lady was wholly inappropriate in the context, and one of the reviews inexplicably leads us to reminisce about the days of Craig David and S Club 7. No, really.
The Week's News:
Directors rally around the cause of film
First Foreign Language Oscar submissions of the year: Turkey, Poland, and Hungary announce their picks!
Under the Rainbow
Closing Segment: Discussing Abel Ferrara's French political drama "Welcome to New York," and discussing films that are thinly-veiled assaults on public figures!

Episode 60: Sobriety Is a Virtue
It's Episode 60 of In the Mood for Podcast, a British-based film podcast hosted by Calum Reed of Ultimate Addict and Pete Sheppard of In the Mood for Blog.
A peroni-less podcast sees Pete on his best behaviour when confronted with a listener question that dares to approach the subject of Keira Knightley (see, we will answer questions about literally anything!) and when forced to tackle "Paris-Manhattan," a French love letter to Woody Allen. Cal shows less resistance when he reviews "Only God Forgives," before we unite for reviews of the week's Hollywood fare, buddy-cop comedy "The Heat," star-studded action sequel "Red 2," and spooky box-office smash "The Conjuring." We've also got this week's Red Light District, which handily ties into Joe Wright's filmography, and part one of our 2009 Venice retrospective, featuring comment on "I Am Love" and "White Material," among others. Tune in to find out which country Pete is jetting off to this week, which film's marketing annoys Cal, and whether Kristin Scott-Thomas's embodiment of a famous fashion personality bests Helen Mirren's channeling of Bette Davis. It's diva overload!

Big Brother is watching you. We've all heard that saying about how the government is monitoring your actions but this is the birthplace of it. Before we started installing cameras on every public building and giving up our private info to social media sites, George Orwell envisioned a dystopia where everything you do is monitored by the government to include your very thoughts. The scary part, much of the warning in this book still hold true today! We also announce our next book for June; The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood.
Being a geek these days is pretty sweet but it didn't always used to be that way. We were shunned for liking certain things and perhaps a little socially awkward. No, you're weird! Thank goodness we have awesome geeks like Felicia Day to help make geek chic. This month we discuss her memoir and share some of our own geeky coming of age stories. We also announce our next book for May; 1984 by George Orwell.
Abraham Lincoln is still considered to be one, if not the greatest president of the United States. So the idea of using him in historical fiction can be tricky especially if you plan on having him do things like behead vampires. But Seth Grahame-Smith managed to walk the line and deliver. This month we share our impressions of what our 16th president was supposedly up to and why he really had to defeat the South. We also announce our next book for April; You're Never Weird on the Internet (almost) by Felicia Day.
For a large portion of the population when you ask them about "their princess" they will probably respond with Diana. But for us geeks and nerds "our princess" will always be Leia. In honor of Carrie Fisher's passing, we read her last book, The Princess Diarist, where she recounts her time during the filming of the original Star Wars trilogy. Told only the way she could, it's sassy, funny and down to earth. May the Force be with her... always. We also announce our next book for March; Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Graham-Smith.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was the first "stand alone" movie in the franchise since Disney acquired them. Most of the people on our site enjoyed the movie and would love to learn more about the characters. Which is why this month we read Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel by James Luceno. So what did we think about this prequel to a prequel? We also announce our next book for February; The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher.
If you are a child of the 80's like most of here on the site, you probably have fond memories of that decade. The music, the movies, the TV, the games, everything had a distinct feel. And while we have seen a resurgence of 80's culture because everything old is new again, it's not like everyone is reliving that decade. But what if we did... in order to win a game... for control of the world? Ready Player One by Ernest Cline proposes that exact thing. Imagine spending most of your time in a virtual world dedicated to the 80's! This month we dissect this love letter to the "Big" decade and share our feelings and love for it as well.
What would you do if you were stranded and left for dead in a remote location? Would you fight to survive even if the odds were heavily stacked against you? Image that scenario, but on Mars. This month we discuss The Martian by Andy Weir. We walk through the major plot points as well as our personal thoughts on the characters, story, differences between the book and movie and what we would do in that situation. Make sure to stay until the end for the next book we're reading.
Welcome to the first episode of the Marginally Geeky Show, the Epically Geeky book club. This week we introduce the core members of the show and reveal the first book we will be reading for the club. We'd like to invite you to join us in reading and discussing the book so make sure to check out next months episode when we reveal the next book for our club.


This is the most efficient sequence for Model-Code Modular (Factory-Built) homes that arrive on removable trailers (If trailers span the full width of home units, a crane must be used, and the panels must be pre-set. See note below.). Homes built with an attached chassis can setup, and the foundation panels install, the same way as HUD-Code homes.
Note: Panels can all be set with a guide-board and cast into concrete before arrival of the home. While more efficient than a conventional perimeter, this is not as efficient as the method described here, and can suffer the same mismatch problems that typical foundations have.
Concrete is placed in the perimeter footings. After it has cured, the temporary supports are removed. Backfill to suit.
Panels are hung around the in-place units, just as for manufactured homes. Alternatively, panels can install and cast in concrete around 3 sides of the home while it is supported on the trailers, and the 4th side installed after the trailers removed.
Set the home units in place with lines of temporary support near the outer edges (see detail on the other side of this sheet). Trailers then disengage from the homes. It may be necessary to first let air out of the tires or remove the axles to lower the trailers and get them out.
Construct the permanent foundation and support along the marriage line(s). This needs to be stable enough to support the each home unit before the perimeter foundation is completed.
Prepare the site per requirements of the home manufacturer and the local building codes.


As a general rule, planning and organization are critical for a business. Most of the causes which lead to the failure of any business relate to lack of planning and organization. Setting business objectives is one of the basic keys of planning and organizing. Be it a project, a marketing strategy, or a yearly plan, business objectives are always invited to the party. This is an introduction to business objectives, why they matter and how can you define objectives for your business.
"A business objective is a detailed picture of a step you plan to take in order to achieve a stated aim." Objectives and goals may be used interchangeably, however, they are not the same. Goals are the headlines; the final destination you would like your business to reach, whereas objectives define how the journey will be like. Objectives are detailed and measurable steps that answer questions such as which transportation you will take, how long the journey will last, how much the ticket costs, etc. Both concepts complete each other and they both build upon each other. In addition, business objectives and goals employ two different languages. Goals usually use emotional and creative language since they express dreams or final achievements. Meanwhile, objectives usually speak in terms of numbers, percentages, and deadlines; practical language.
Business objectives explain the how to your business. They distinguish your business from any other one even if they both have the same niche. Moreover, business objectives set a map to your developmental processes; a road. Without knowing where you are going, you will have no direction and eventually get lost. Your goals are the source for any new ideas that you would like to introduce to your business. In other words, if an idea contradicts with your goals, you will not take it into consideration. This is a good way to filter out irrelevant ideas as it provides your business with the "framework" where you build ideas within. Goals help your business have a focus. In the meantime, objectives give your goal a mean.
Communicating business objectives is essential to spreading awareness about your business. Business owners must always convey their objectives to their employees and to their customers as well. As a business owner, one of the most effective management approaches is to involve your employees in your vision. Therefore, understanding the objectives and goals of the company motivates your employees, and makes them feel that they are a part of the mission. Business objectives, in particular, simultaneously, sharing your objectives and vision with your customers is a powerful tool to spread brand awareness. Before your clients decide to use your service, or buy your product, they need to know who you are and how do you reach your goals. Being clear about your objectives and goals identify your entity and sets it apart from others. Being open about your objectives make your clients and employees trust you and become your enthusiasts.
Specific: Specific refers to being thoroughly detailed. As mentioned before, objectives are not headlines. They are customized according to the nature of the business. For example, a restaurant may set an objective of filling eighty percent of its tables every night of December. Furthermore, specific means clear and easy to understand.
Measurable: Business objectives are quantifiable. They must include definite numbers and well-defined action plans. This makes it easier to execute these measures.
Agreed: All the responsible parties should be in agreement about the objectives.
Realistic: Objectives are challenging, yet attainable. Unrealistic objectives make your business lose credibility and will make it hard for your employees to keep up with your objectives.
Time Bound: That refers to setting a specific time frame to accomplish your objectives.
This is a short term objective that is usually set during times of crisis or when a small business is just starting. The objective of "survival" resembles an emergency alarm that requires serious and quick measures with short deadlines.
As a matter of fact, in the world of business, money is the end goal of almost all businesses. It does not come as a surprise that increasing the number of sales to the maximum is the objective of all companies, from start-ups to global businesses.
This objective is more relevant to public sector organizations. Public services, like transportation for example, do not have profit as their main focus. Their main objective is to provide value and facilitate the lives of the citizens. Despite the fact that these organizations gain some money, they must put the quality of the service itself before profit.
Some organizations and business entities look beyond profit. They aim to raise awareness towards a specific issue. Business owners usually set the tone for the type of issue the business is concerned with. For example, some fashion houses aim to spread awareness about animal-friendly products; products that do not involve any cruelty towards animals during manufacture. Sometimes a business may choose empowering women or erasing illiteracy as their objective according to the nature of the business. Although these organizations are not charitable, they still select an ethical or a social objective which benefits their community, while making profits.
These non-profitable organizations do not care about profits, so their objectives are never financial. Their objectives usually target community development and providing accessible services to the less fortunate.
Setting up business objectives and goals is all about planning where your business is going. Objectives should be precise and clear. They explain to everyone the "how" of your business. Being transparent with your employees and clients about your objectives is a huge plus. How to define business objectives? According to the nature of the service or product you offer. Some objectives are obvious and common like sales growth or improving services. The phase of the business also counts. A start-up's objectives are different from those of an established business, even though they may meet at some points. Finally, if you are not sure about your next objective, you can always seek a business consultant. Explore the objectives of big companies and follow their footsteps. There is always an area of development, or a new objective to reach, so be creative and ambitious!

Platforms: NES
This game is widely regarded as the best Castlevania game to reach the United States. Why, you ask? First off, you aren't limited to a linear path -- after certain levels, the path forks, and you can choose the path you take to Dracula's castle. The other major factor was the fact that you could play as multiple characters (spirits, as they were called.) They shared the same life bar, but each had their own special attacks. For instance, Grant DaNasty could jump very high, change direction in mid-air, and cling to walls. Sypha was a wizard who had a weak attack, but the special weapons that were available were cool (a powerful flame attack, an ice spell, and lightninh bolts that bounced around the screen.) Alucard, (Dracula spelled backwords) had an attack slightly longer than the whip, and could also turn into a bat. Of course, the main character is Trevor Belmont, who is just like is great-grandson, Simon.
In the Castlevania instruction book, it mentions that Dracula was "looking for another fight after 100 years". You can assume that this is the first time Dracula was being fought. Thus, this game takes place before all of the other Castlevania games. The gameplay is more like the original Castlevania, i.e. more action oriented than adventure, as in Simon's Quest. The basic play mechanics are the same.
The graphics are slightly better than either of the previous two games, allowing constant vertical scrolling areas and some neat graphics. The music is all wonderful, as in pretty much all Castlevania games. The length of the game, and the replayability, is what makes this one of the best Castlevania, in my opinion...Once you beat it taking the forest (treking through a pirate ghost ship, and up a tower), then you can play it again, taking the swamp route, meeting Alucard, and ending up in the castle's basement. And there are four different endings, depending on who your companion is (I never beat the game with Trevor alone, however.)

MINELRES: ERRC Welcomes Creation of Romani NGO Network in CIS and the Baltics

ERRC Welcomes the Creation of a Unified Romani NGO Network in the
Commonwealth of Independent States and the Baltic States and Urges a
Rights Agenda
The European Roma Rights Center (ERRC) welcomes the creation of a
unified network of Romani non-governmental groups of the Commonwealth of
Independent States (CIS) and the Baltic states. The decision to create
an association coordinating the work of Romani non-governmental groups
in this vast geographic region was taken at the Congress of the Roma
Communities of the CIS and the Baltic countries in Smolensk, Russian
Federation, January 31-February 2, 2003. The ERRC believes that the
creation of the Association of Roma Communities of the Baltic Countries
and the CIS (ARBCIS) is the first significant step towards a strong Roma
rights movement in the CIS and the Baltic states.
Anti-Romani sentiment in the CIS and the Baltic states provides rich
soil for serious violations of the fundamental rights of Roma. Due to
intense anti-Romani sentiment, since the collapse of communism in the
former Soviet Union, Roma have increasingly become targets of racially
motivated violence, in the form of police abuse, attacks by
nationalist-extremist groups, or community violence, as well as of
discrimination in accessing basic rights and freedoms, including access
to justice, housing, education, and public goods and services.
Protection provided to Roma by authorities against human rights
violations is often inadequate or unavailable, and governments
throughout the CIS and the Baltic states have failed to act to reduce
widespread discrimination and anti-Romani sentiment. Officials in these
countries have tacitly and in some cases even explicitly appealed to
racist sentiments to garner support, arguably contributing to the
creation of a public culture in which abuses of the fundamental rights
of Roma are tolerated.
The ERRC believes that the newly born ARBCIS can be a key player in the
Roma rights movement in the CIS and the Baltic states, and therefore
welcomes its establishment. The ERRC encourages ARBCIS to place human
rights issues at the top of its agenda.
More information on the creation of ARBCIS can be found at:
http://www.romanation.narod.ru/Doc/News.htm.

The European Roma Rights Center is an international public interest law
organisation which monitors the rights of Roma and provides legal
defence in cases of human rights abuse. For more information about the

In this video we review the 20 year American Afghan war as a result of 9/11, and how American Russia and China have been fighting over Afghanistan as a territorial dispute to prevent each other from building an oil & natural gas pipeline as a part of their Geo Economic Strategic Initiative.
In 2001 George W Bush declared War on Afghanistan without a Declaration of War from the Congress to find and kill Osama bin Laden and to dismantle Al Qaeda; Even though the 9/11 High Jackers and Osama Bin Laden were from Suadi Arabia, not Afghanistan.
In fact, many conspiracy theories claimed the Bush Administration protected Suadi Arabia from investigation into their involvement in 9/11 because Suadi Arabia's close relationships with the Bush Family, and American Oil Interests in the middle east…
Information in the 2004 9/11 Commissions Report regarding Suadi Arabia's involvement was classified and redacted for 20 years, only to be released one day after 9/11/2021, and the conclusion of the American Afghani Occupation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_28_pages
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi-releases-first-911-document-after-biden-order-cnn-2021-09-12/
At the time, President Bush said if the Afghanistan's Taliban will not turn over Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda, they are therefore harboring Terrorist and was the reason given to begin Military Occupation of Afghanistan. As opposed to covert search and destroy operations, that do not require the occupation of a country.
Iraq's President Saddam Hussein was unsympathetic to America being 9/11 attacked, saying America deserved a black eye.
Ironically, Saddam Hussein like Osama Bin Laden were both former allies of America, and were installed by the Americans, as the result of Soviet Russian Afghan War, and Oil wars with Iran, Iraq ext in the middle east…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet%E2%80%93Afghan_War
https://youtu.be/AEBIJRAkujM
https://youtu.be/IA-i6tWo_wM
Saddam Hussein was installed in Iraq as an American puppet to control the Iraq oil Supplies.
https://youtu.be/zaP7ZrmkcuU
Where as Osama Bin Laden was trained by America and their Allies (United States, Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, China, and the United Kingdom) along with the Mujahideen(which spawned the Taliban) to resist the Russians as Freedom Fighters, aka Rebels, using American Guerilla Warfare Tactics, and American supplied Stinger Missiles to shoot down Russian Military Aircraft…
https://youtu.be/G1mnSjjeC2o
This was an attempt to prevent the Russians from establishing a lucrative natural gas and oil pipeline, and harvesting natural resources and mineral deposits. Afghanistan has an estimated One or Two trillion dollars worth of Lithium which could be used for Lithium Ion Batteries in Electric Vehicles today…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mining_in_Afghanistan
https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/18/business/afghanistan-lithium-rare-earths-mining/index.html
https://youtu.be/dMlEDh0y1vs
https://youtu.be/Vypl_LQBARE
President Bush linked Saddam Hussein with Osama Bin Ladin and Al Qaeda, saying Saddam Hussein resumed Iraq's Nuclear Uranium enrichment & ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile) program in order to create "Weapons of Mass Destruction" (WMD's) to use against the United States and their allies…
https://youtu.be/5BwxI_l84dc
https://youtu.be/FTeJWQMpX0E
Which then diverted resources from the Hunt for Osama Bin Landin in Afghanistan and Pakistan(ally and nuclear state) (Pakistan is also where Bin Ladin was ultimately found and killed 10 years later, and the Taliban would hide and train while waiting for the Americans to leave Afghanistan). The United States and the United Kingdom accused Saddam Hussein of harboring Al Qaeda and other international Terrorist, thereby using 9/11 as an excuse to remove Saddam Hussein and take control of Iraq oil fields…
https://youtu.be/TsMgF9LSWN4
But still, the United States never left Afghanistan saying their exist strategy depended on building an Democratic Government with an Afghan Army strong enough to repel foreigners and rebellion without the Americans help, according to John McCain, otherwise leaving Afghanistan in a power vacuum that will be filled by Pakistan supported Taliban, or China who had/have Plans for their Belt and Road Initiative to place yet another Oil and Gas pipeline, and interstate highway which will connect China to their ally Iran.

Barak Obama's Administration following the Bush Administration was riddled with scandals that both enriched Establishment Democratic & Neocon Republican Politicians and Supporters. These scandals involved Uranium One, which sold American and Canadian Uranium to the Russian and the Chinese…. Which is direct opposition to George W Bush's war to control Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_One_controversy
https://youtu.be/gOW_eSc1gvE
During the Obama Administration, the Obama Admin funded and sanctioned "Operation Fast and Furious" which was a Gun Running operation to arm South American Drug Cartels with American Weapons, which ultimately was used against American ATF Drugs enforcement Officers.
https://youtu.be/iC42SDbKFYk
I mentioned "Operation Fast and Furious" to show that Obama Administration was perfectly willing and capable of arming our enemies to serve some ulterior motive, just as the President Carter and then President Regan Administration did in the Iran Contras which included then Governor Bill Clinton, and then Vice President George H W Bush sr. So, we have a long line of Presidents (Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H W Bush Sr, Bill Clinton, George H W Bush Jr, and Barack Obama) all funding and conducting illegal wars in the Middle east and around the world. Which appears to be a direct repeat of the Vietnam War.
https://youtu.be/7tNTh6KlXXU
There are many more scandals which surrounded then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's emails with Anthony Weiner which exposed a play for play scheme in the State Department, and the White House, that was used as way to enrich the Clintons, Bushes, Obama, Bidens and many other corrupt crony politicians. Clinton Cash outlines many of these scandals during the Obama Administration, that have roots back to the 1970's
https://youtu.be/JnI6Fh4fOwM
https://youtu.be/A36AQN57RkM
Another scandal that relevant in the 2016, and 2020 Democratic Presidential Election showed the DNC(Democratic National Committee) rigged the DNC Primaries against Bernie Sanders, in favor of Hillary Clinton, and again 2020 Bernie Sanders v Joe Biden. Therefore, showing the elections are rigged. This is not a functioning Democracy, but a Banna Republic.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton_Cash
https://youtu.be/Gzu2TjavcZQ
https://youtu.be/X3W2GIZ8rN0
As for the 2012 Benghazi Embassy Attack which toppled an American Embassy, which brought Hillary Clintons Emails front and center of the controversy. The emails showed Hillary Clinton had conducted many pay to play scandals, on behalf of the Obama Administration, but also keeped a secret email server at a private residence, and evaded the FBI by destroying evidence and hiding her emails. We found the FBI to be complicate in these scandals, and destroying the FBI's integrity. We learned very quickly there is a double standard for insiders like Hillary Clinton and other Democrats and Neo Con Republicans to conceal the truth from the public.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Benghazi_attack
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton_email_controversy
https://youtu.be/jKNo0ZgGGU4
Julian Assange wiki-leaks revealed a lot of this information to the public which alerted everyone to the Pay For Play activities of the United States Government.
https://youtu.be/3MNNX3IxTxM
In sum,
The Afghanistan Conflict(s) that has been raging since the 1970's, was due to a strategic need to secure the land for Oil & Gas Pipelines, which lead to the discovery of 1-3 Trillion dollars of Lithium for electronic devices and vehicles, and the cultivation of secret Opium farms, and Remote Terrorist Training Camps.

Home People Interview: Viktor Gustafsson
Interview: Viktor Gustafsson
Swedish, 18 years old, Viktor Gustafsson is the new KZ World Champion, the top shifter class of international karting. He started racing in karting at the age of 5 and, like many children who dream of becoming the best in this sport, he followed a path of sporting growth that soon took him outside the borders of Sweden, to face international competitions and this year, in his first season as a CRG official driver, on September 4th, he has won the most important race of his career up to now at Le Mans: the FIA World Championship KZ.
We have met him at the CRG Factory a few days after this great sporting result and we have asked him some questions to get to know him better and to go back over the fantastic Le Mans weekend with him.
The first question we have asked him is how and when he has started karting:
"I drove my first go-kart at the age of 5 in a parking lot in southern Sweden. My whole family has always been involved and passionate about racing and it was almost natural for me to follow the path of my father and my grandpa. One day I asked if I could try and a few weeks later I drove for the first time. Soon what started as a game became a very competitive sport that I took very seriously, with the aim of being among the best in the world".
From a sporting point of view, what have been the most significant results of your career?
"Obviously my world title together with CRG is the absolute top. Something that I will never be able to overcome, I think, in terms of emotions and importance. It is something that every kart driver dreams of and doing it at the age of 18 was simply incredible. Previously, I won the Bridgestone Super Cup in Mini in 2015, which was my first important affirmation, capable of motivating me to take the next steps in my sporting growth in karting. In 2017, I won the WSK Final Cup in OKJ, after which I had a few difficult sports seasons and I even thought about quitting. The turning point came with the move to KZ in 2020, a category in which I won the FIA European Championship and obtained pole position in the FIA World Cup. During that season my mentality changed and I started making a name for myself in international karting. In 2021 I won the WSK Champions Cup and in the same year I finished 3rd in the Super Master Series. My experience in karting has taught me that whatever you win and no matter how good you are, you always have to keep improving, because otherwise you will be overtaken".
What can you tell us about your private life, your hobbies besides racing?
"My life has always been oriented towards being the best driver possible. At the moment I still go to school and this takes a lot of time, because I'm studying Economics and Law. If I don't study, I train on the track, and if I don't drive, I train from a physical point of view, mainly with the bicycle. My passion for cycling has grown enormously in recent times, thanks to the benefits it gives me in racing. This is and has been my life in the last two years and I am happy about it".
This year at the World Championship you had 2 chasiss with different technical bases available: the Road Rebel one with 32mm tubes and the KT2 with 30mm tubes. Can you explain the differences between these two models?
"Obviously there is a big difference from a technical point of view, both for the section of the tube and for some geometry of the chassis. It must also be said that the Road Rebel model we have used at the World Championship is an updated version, basically the model that CRG sells for the 2023 season. In any case, the technical differences between the two chassis also generate a big difference in terms of driving sensation. My experience is that the lap time is more or less always the same, so if we think in terms of performance, we cannot say that one is better than the other. But on the contrary, as mentioned, the driving feeling transmitted to the driver changes and therefore one chassis rather than the other can be better adapted to the needs or the style of each driver. As far as I am concerned, I immediately felt very well with the 30mm KT2: it is very precise and quick when changing direction and has excellent lateral grip. The Road Rebel, on the other hand, was the favorite of my team mate Jeremy Iglesias, who also finished the World Championship on the podium. As for the specific technical characteristics of the Road Rebel, we can say that it has more grip in general and great braking efficiency. Many drivers who take part in the National Championships have asked me this question to evaluate a choice between the two models, but the best answer I can give is to do a test with both and understand on a personal level which is the chassis you prefer. I don't think you can make a choice on "paper", even if the Road Rebel model is truly versatile and for years the best-selling CRG chassis for the shifter classes, and with the latest evolutions it has made an important competitive step".
This year with your move to CRG you have been involved in both the OK and the KZ categories. Was it difficult to manage this double commitment in two categories so different from each other from a technical point of view?
"It wasn't easy at all: it's more complicated than what you think. Some mechanisms that you may find quickly in a test don't come naturally in the race and I had to work hard to find the right feeling and pace in the race in the OK category. Furthermore, in the OK class the kart + driver weight is lower than in KZ and I had to make many sacrifices also to respect this parameter imposed by the regulations, despite having already started a specific preparation in winter combining diet and physical activity. Unfortunately, this need quickly turned into an obsession for me, something that I could no longer control and that also brought me not to eat for days. I haven't talked much about this problem, although I think it's important to do so, but luckily it is a phase I have overcome now and I am back to 100% of my performance ".
Before saying goodbye, we would like to go back over the Le Mans weekend through what you believe were the key moments in that success…
"It was a weekend that started well, with a good feeling with the chassis and the engine right from the first free practice sessions. We did a good job on the set up and managed the approach to the race well from a psychological point of view. We were not discouraged when we had a bad session and the very changeable weather did not affect us either. From qualifying onwards, we have always been among the fastest and our awareness of being able to do very well has grown steadily over the weekend. As I said, I chose to use the KT2 chassis and everything worked very well, without the need to make big set-up changes, allowing me to concentrate a lot on driving as well. Myself, the technical staff, the team and the engine tuner Gianfranco Galiffa were all like one person only. We all did and thought the same things and this made decisions very easy. We have won together".

Simply contact me at trianglefloat@icloud.com or call me at 919.410.5543.


Alastaro Golf is the longest course in Finland measured from the pro tees. But built on sand it's always firm and you'll get some extra run when hitting fairways. With four other tees you can always find it enjoyable for your skill level. Course runs mainly in the Finnish pine forest with water only in play on two holes. Greens are generally big and slightly undulating.


I read this article and found it very interesting, thought it might be something for you. The article is called Hemlines: When Cloth Meets Canvas and is located at https://www.totallydublin.ie/more/fashion/hemlines-when-cloth-meets-canvas/.
A colourful smattering of artists and designers decrypt their dress sense.
Are there any two industries more intrinsically meshed than art and fashion? Take the highest tier of creative directors, whose helming of long-celebrated design houses, for lengthier or short-lived stints alike, has been frequently captured on film. Dior and I documented Raf Simons' stressful rise to prominence, his psychological fatigue softened – albeit temporarily – by exhibition-hopping. Any on-camera interviews with Alessandro Michele, creative director of Gucci, see him cite myriad art shows and classical masterpieces as his primary means of a mental reset. The two fields funnel into each other eternally, and when you strip away those transitory trend guides (the sartorial equivalent of lacklustre speed dating, where clothing choices are quickly shopped and dropped) one's garment choices reveal a much stronger reflection of self. As last year's V&A show on Frida Kahlo surely testifies, the dress sense of artists is a source of public fascination. When Tate Britain ran a show on Barbara Hepworth, the sculptor's functional wardrobe spawned an accompanying collection of shirts and dungarees created by Margaret Howell. What are these creatives trying to say with their selection of dress – or are they actually trying at all?
What of the non-makers enamoured of how artists and designers dress and, by extension, eager to emulate their wardrobe choices? Chanel's watercolour styles for SS15 captivated audiences, and Steele's hand-painted wares (all crafted with no whiff of size or ageism) generate similar applause. Her activewear range for Dunnes dropped in January to overwhelming buzz, with the next drop due in May: "It will be really painterly and colour-therapy based. There'll be a real mixture, from amazing rain ponchos to these printed cycling shorts with printed, long-sleeved crop tops… I live in rural Monaghan, and I saw a woman there – at least in her early 70s – walking her two Alsatians in one of the crazy raincoats!" With Steele previously snapped in her paint-splattered dungarees, Jill & Gill are just as forthcoming with posting shots in their studio-wear.
"The reaction we get when people see our inky overalls, aprons and sneakers is one of fascination. For us, putting on those clothes is like the magical cape of creative madness. It means we are creating, making, expressing ourselves and have no worries of messing something up – that exact mindset of not caring that your overalls get covered in every possible colour you could imagine means you suddenly become your own canvas. We've discovered it's a great way to see how certain colours sit together without pre-planning or thought. For those who don't find creativity in their everyday life, being able to buy a garment that has splatters of ink on it might be there way of bridging that gap." With a label that has long-staggered art and apparel, the end of this month will see Jill & Gill expand upon this ethos with a six-piece collection for ARC Fashion Show.


It's another #writerwednesday and with the book discussion of book 2 in The House of BeJeweled coming up, I thought I would share a scene from Bejeweled: What A Tangled Web We Weave.
Olivia stuck out her hand and took the soft, warm, brown one in her own. "I know who you are. And to what do I owe this pleasure, Ms. Kirkland?" Olivia asked, her smile not quite reaching her eyes. She had known there was a reason behind her coming to BeJeweled today for a hair appointment. She had never visited the salon before, and Olivia was apprehensive. She did not like feeling like her stylists or salon were being used to gain a hot story.
"So what is it that you want or need from me, Ms. Kirkland?" Olivia's arms were folded across her breasts, and she stood in a protective stance. Cocking one head to the side, she wanted the woman to get to her point.
"Alright, Chris it is, then. What is it that I can do for you?" Olivia was not one to play games. And where she was usually patient and kind, her shop, stylists, and name were all under attack, and she had no time to coddle anyone. She was in a mothering and protective mode.
"I would like to get your story out to the people." Christina splayed her hands out in front of her as if indicating she was laying all her cards on the table.
"I just want to bring the truth. I want to stop unfair assaults, and we need more salons in the Buckhead area to serve diverse clientele. I live, work, and play there and I believe you have a lot to bring to the Buckhead. I believe you have a beautiful spirit, and I don't want to see you crushed. Trust me, reporters can be ruthless. I've been one for several decades now, so I know." Christina folded her arms, raised an eyebrow, and waited to hear what Olivia's response would be.

Not to be confused with Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS).
The Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS), also called Explorer 94, is a NASA solar observation satellite. The mission was funded through the Small Explorer program to investigate the physical conditions of the solar limb, particularly the chromosphere of the Sun. The spacecraft consists of a satellite bus and spectrometer built by the Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory (LMSAL), and a telescope provided by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. IRIS is operated by LMSAL and NASA's Ames Research Center.
The satellite's instrument is a high-frame-rate ultraviolet imaging spectrometer, providing one image per second at 0.3 arcsecond angular resolution and sub-ångström spectral resolution.
NASA announced on 19 June 2009 that IRIS was selected from six Small Explorer mission candidates for further study, along with the Gravity and Extreme Magnetism (GEMS) space observatory.
The spacecraft arrived at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, on 16 April 2013 and was successfully launched on 27 June 2013 by a Pegasus-XL rocket.
Video of IRIS data from a solar flare on 11 March 2015.
IRIS achieved first light on 17 July 2013. NASA noted that "IRIS's first images showed a multitude of thin, fibril-like structures that have never been seen before, revealing enormous contrasts in density and temperature occur throughout this region even between neighboring loops that are only a few hundred miles apart." On 31 October 2013, calibrated IRIS data and images were released on the project website. A preprint describing the satellite and initial data has been released on arXiv.
Data collected from the IRIS spacecraft has shown that the interface region of the sun is significantly more complex than previously known. This includes features described as solar heat bombs, high-speed plasma jets, nano-flares, and mini-tornadoes. These features are an important step in understanding the transfer of heat to the corona.
In 2019 IRIS detected tadpole like jets coming out from the Sun according to NASA.

The daily calcium recommendations are 1,000 milligrams a day for women under 50, and 1,500 milligrams a day for women 51 and older. Oddly enough, these are the same requirements for men, who are much less prone to osteoporosis than women. But the recommendation takes into account the fact that women are smaller than men. Thus the amount of daily calcium is greater for women on a proportional basis.
For this comprehensive narrative review, we evaluated both nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions. Nutrition-specific approaches are those that address the immediate determinants of nutrition (e.g., food and nutrient intake, diet-related practices and behaviors, disease, etc.), whereas nutrition-sensitive approaches are those that address the underlying determinants of nutrition (e.g., food security, access to resources, safe and hygienic environments, adequate health services, etc.) (5, 12). We evaluated the following nutrition-specific interventions described by Bhutta et al. (13, 14): nutrition counseling and education, micronutrient supplementation and fortification, protein and energy supplementation, and lipid-based supplementation. We also included the following nutrition-sensitive approaches described by Ruel and Alderman (5) and Bhutta et al. (14): health care; family planning; water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH); empowerment; income-generation; education; and social protection. For each intervention, we 1) described the scale and coverage of the intervention, when available; 2) summarized the evidence of effectiveness for women's health and nutrition outcomes; and 3) described and evaluated the target population and delivery platforms, as described in the published articles and as summarized in Table 1. The delivery of interventions included the physical platforms, as well as the adherence and the implementation challenges of the different interventions.
Women's Fitness of Boston is conveniently located, fairly priced and a delight to be a member of. The owner, Julie, works so hard to make sure that her clients enjoy the gym. She is also a great personal trainer, and is willing to work closely with clients to push them to their potential. She's just that right balance of energetic and serious, making sure that her clients get what they need.
Our women's fitness programs are designed for women from the ground up. We teach from the female anatomy and physiology, the feminine psyche and include all the subtle bodies – the emotional, mental and spiritual that have an impact on the physical. We understand the different needs of the woman as she exercises through pregnancy, postnatal, menopause and the later years of her life and how these changes affect her women's fitness needs and goals.
It's full of health, diet, fitness, and inspiring articles. My first issue was 142 pages of wonderfully educational and motivating articles with clear pictures. It's easy to highlight the articles to read. This magazine is ideal for people that are interested in women's health covering all kinds of topics ranging from nutrition to working out and from meditating to parenting. It also includes ads for the latest in skincare products, makeup, gear, and food, which I like so that I know what to shop for. When I need motivated and inspired or need to refocus, this is the magazine I choose!
Most traditional fitness plans happen in predictable patterns that usually involve moving in two planes of motion—up and down or forward and backward—ignoring the third plane of motion, lateral. "Move your body in all directions to create the most fit, functional, and athletic physique," Stokes says. If you're a runner, cyclist, or walker, remember to include movements such as jumping jacks, side shuffles, side lunges, and carioca (the grapevine-like move) in your warm-up or cool-down, she suggests.
A well-balanced diet, comprised of a variety of foods, adequately meets women's needs for vitamins, minerals and energy. For good health, women need to pay special attention to calcium, iron and folate (folic acid) intake. A healthy diet also should minimize the intake of fat and sugar. Diets high in saturated or trans fat can promote high levels of blood cholesterol and increase risk for heart disease. A diet that includes high sugar provides empty calories, or calories that do not provide any nutritional value and often times replace more nutritious food selections.
Adult women, and particularly women with children, were the primary targets for empowerment interventions. Empowerment interventions were predominantly delivered through community-based programs, including home visits, community groups, and community centers (5, 161, 163). There was some evidence that empowerment interventions that included delivery platforms such as radio and television, as a complement to the community- and home-based delivery platforms (5), could have some impact on reaching a wider audience. Adolescent girls were largely not the target of empowerment interventions, except for those relating to reproductive health (158), and could potentially benefit from them.
More power to these women, and sure, you could say that fashion and magazines are aspirational over reality-based. If you want reality, look in a mirror, but that's just it: The super-cut flat abs of Maria Menounos are a far cry from most of us, and can even more damaging to young girls who would do better to avoid the unrealistic ideals that their mothers and older sisters had to grow up with.
Important sexual health issues for women include Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and female genital cutting (FGC). STIs are a global health priority because they have serious consequences for women and infants. Mother-to-child transmission of STIs can lead to stillbirths, neonatal death, low-birth-weight and prematurity, sepsis, pneumonia, neonatal conjunctivitis, and congenital deformities. Syphilis in pregnancy results in over 300,000 fetal and neonatal deaths per year, and 215,000 infants with an increased risk of death from prematurity, low-birth-weight or congenital disease.[74]


The Chinese government is forcing churches in Zhejiang province to install CCTV reports UCA News.
The Communist Party in the heavily Christian province on China's east coast wants Catholic and Protestant churches to install CCTV cameras inside and outside their buildings, in a bid to control the number of Christians and "maintain social order". Zhejiang is home to two million Protestants and 210,000 Catholics.
One layman reported that a camera was installed inside a church before being removed by church members before the funeral of a Bishop. The authorities then installed cameras outside the church.
Religious policy in China has tightened since President Xi Jinping became leader in 2012, and Zhejiang province has seen attempts to curb Christian activity, including the removal of more than 1,500 crosses from church buildings.
Priests circulated a message encouraging church members to negotiate with officials but advised them to act with wisdom. The message said, "everyone's consensus is that no camera should be installed inside a church hall," but added that a single camera installed on top of a church wall or fence, while not ideal, may be the best way to break the impasse.

Race Preview: 6H SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS
Corey Davis, 1 year ago 11 min read
The new NEO season is set to begin this weekend, but for the first time in six years, it won't be the virtual Sebring raceway hosting the first round.
A familiar track is still set to welcome the series, although in a very unfamiliar combination of cars. The 24H SERIES ESPORTS championship kicks off on Sunday with round 1 at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, and our team representatives have convened to share their expectations.
NEO has competed at Spa in every season so far, and several teams and drivers with a successful history in the series will be in the field this time as well.
Way back in season one, Anders Dahl scored the GTC class win at Spa with Vergil Racing. Back in a GT3 Cup-spec car, Dahl and his Burst Esport team who paced 991-class pre-qualifying will again expect to be contenders.
In season three, Vendaval Simracing drove their Aston Martin DBR9 to a GT-class victory. Matti Kaidesoja and Juan E. Lopez return from that winning team to Vendaval's TCR lineup this season.
In the GTS class that season, Julien Grünastel and Lukas Jestädt came away winners for MSP-DRIVERS-HOME in the Audi R8. They're now back in the same car for Biela Racing Team EURONICS in the #45 entry.

Last season, Logitech G Altus Esports dominated the GTE race at Spa with Yannick Lapchin and Simone Maria Marcenò behind the wheel. They're also back together this season in the GT3 class.
The real-world 24H SERIES also has plenty of history at Spa, with annual races at the track each of the past three years. This April, Bohemia Energy Racing with Scuderia Praha won the 12H SPA in their Ferrari 488 GT3. Modena Motorsports including iRacer Benny Simonsen won the 991 class, and father-and-son Ivo and Rik Breukers were part of the top TCR team from Red Camel-Jordans.nl in the Cupra DSG.
Just last weekend, 17 24H SERIES teams were back at Spa for the TCR SPA 500, a 500-lap single-class race spanning 23 hours. In that one, it was again Red Camel-Jordans.nl earning the win while DG Sport Compétition was second in its Peugeot 308 and TOPCAR sport by Bas Koeten Racing made it two Cupras on the podium with a third-place result.
The highest-finishing Audi RS 3 LMS belonged to AC Motorsport, who finished fifth overall and second in the Pro/Am class.

Circuit Overview
Spa may be the longest circuit of the NEO season at 7.0 kilometers, but nearly every one of our team representatives pointed to the same corner as the most important: Eau Rouge.
Carrying maximum speed up the hill and into Raidillon requires a precise line and a bit of bravery; Dennis Gerressen of the Virtual Motorsport GT3 team noted "the risk of destroying your car if you get it wrong".
Even if you don't crash, it will be easy to lose time compared to your competitors if you don't hit it exactly right.
"In the Porsche, Eau Rouge is very easy to get a tiny bit wrong, which will easily lose you 0.2 to 0.3 seconds at the end of the Kemmel straight," said Anders Dahl from Burst Esport.
For teams in a battle, staying close through that complex will be key to setting up a pass, but "especially while driving in the slipstream, this can be quite challenging," said Michael Drechsler from the Huber Racing E-Sports GT3 team.

And in the momentum-dependent TCR, taking Eau Rouge and Raidillon at maximum speed will test teams all day long.
"With the lower power of the Audi TCR, the run down from La Source and up Eau Rouge and Raidillon will be absolutely crucial," said Georg Gruber from Torque Freak Racing. "Carrying speed through here is difficult and can make or break your lap times."
Other tricky turns our team members pointed out were Pouhon and Blanchimont.
"They are the most challenging corners on this beautiful track, but it's not only a matter of setup," said Moreno Sirica from Williams JIM Esports' GT3 team. "Here you need to show your real talent and make the difference."
Track limits in both corners make them even more difficult, and with only 25 off-tracks to play with before the first warning and 50 before the first penalty, going wide too often could earn a costly drive-through down the long endurance pit lane.
"You can gain much time by using as much track as possible," said Joakim Vennström from GOTeam Racing in the 991 class. "But then you are also very close to getting an off track. So precision here is crucial."
Expect teams to test the track limits at Pouhon all race.
For drivers carrying speed out of Blanchimont, whether on-track or off, the final chicane could be another potential passing opportunity, and it's also one of the easiest corners to get wrong.
"A slight mistake will lose you speed and you can get overtaken easily," said Miguel Vigo from Alpinestars Geodesic Racing's 991 team. "Teams need to be prepared for this to happen constantly, and it's up to you to lose the least amount of time when this happens."
While setting up potential passes, TCR teams will have to be careful and avoid overdriving several of Spa's deceptively long braking zones.
"I believe we have to look out for Bruxelles and Pouhon," said Miguel Freitas of Team MAD. "A hot entry on any of those corners will make the rear step out and see us being eaten by the field."
Challenges in Each Class
Sticking with that analogy, the TCR class could be downright cannibalistic this season, with little margin for error and mistakes punished harshly.
"These NTMv7 tires are really sensitive to being pushed too hard. Plus, most cars will probably be in close battles throughout the race," said Brian Lockwood from RaceKraft Esports.
"These cars can take a hit, so damage shouldn't play too much of a factor. The story of this race will be who can setup and manage their tires the best, and we're working hard to make sure that's us!"
For many teams, hour-long stints in the new Audi RS 3 LMS will be a trip into the unknown.
"It's the first time that we will take part in an endurance race with the TCR, so obviously you don't have any reference to work with." noted Eneric Andre from Satellite Racing.
Team Heusinkveld is a recent convert, switching from the Ferrari 488 to the Mercedes AMG GT3.
Although the annual iRacing 24 Hours of Spa has given teams plenty of laps around this track, for some of this season's GT3 teams, this may be the first Spa race in their current car — or the first race at all, given the last-minute car swaps by several teams. As a result, we now have a slightly more balanced grid with 11 Audi R8s and 7 Mercedes AMGs.
As they get up to speed in their machinery for the season, GT3 drivers noted two big challenges in this race will be optimizing their setup and managing tire wear.
"There is always a lot of effort behind the race setup, and many tests are needed to find the last tenth," said Sirica. "Looking at pre-qualifying, that can be the tenth that separates the winner from the loser."
Added Lapchin, "the biggest challenge will be the tire management in GT3, and being able to maintain pace as much as possible in the stint."
For 991-class teams, who have been allotted their full fuel tank capacity of 100 liters, they'll have to decide whether to stretch their fuel to save a pit stop, all while contending with the circuit and their competitors.
"Off-tracks will be a big limiting factor, but we have to manage," said Dahl. "Combine that with traffic and I think it will be a very tough race."

Multi-class Mayhem?
This race will be the first time we've seen this season's three classes on track together in anger, and drivers have mixed opinions on whether that will make traffic easier or more difficult to contend with.
"There's enough of a pace gap from the TCR to the other classes that it should make it easy for them to pass us and small taps probably won't lead to full spins in a FWD car," said Tuomas Tähtelä from Altus.
"The lack of a prototype class means everything happens at a bit slower pace, which makes it easier. The challenge is to make sure we don't lose too much time from having to get out of the racing line."
Other TCR drivers said that their straight-line speed disadvantage to both the GT3 and 991 classes should make those overtakes more straightforward, but those faster-class competitors noted that those passes may not always be easy.
"Multiclass is always tricky, and it is easy to have misunderstandings, especially when the approaching speed is significantly different," said Sirica. "We already had some experience with the Porsche 911s, but is going to be funny to understand how we can navigate through the TCR train."
In practice so far, GT3s have been lapping around 18 seconds quicker than the TCRs, which means going through traffic every seven to eight laps.
Porsches are around 7 seconds per lap slower than the GT3s, so they'll only see each other every 19 laps or so, while the 991s will pass the TCRs about every 13 laps, or roughly twice per stint.

Stuck in the middle class, the Porsche drivers will have to keep their heads on a swivel all race.
"It will be demanding to pay attention simultaneously to the front and to the rear," said Vennström. "We can quite easily overtake the TCRs on the long straights, but it won't be as easy for the GT3s to overtake the Porsche."
With such little track time together so far, some teams are expecting the worst.
"There's probably going to be a lot of contact," said Gruber. "No one has any experience as to what to expect from the other classes, especially from the TCR cars that have extremely limited capabilities of altering their course on the exits of corners."
"Hopefully teams will account for that and there won't be too many — or any, haha — incidents during the race," added Lockwood.
Past experience also suggests a season-opener can be a bit rough around the edges when it comes to driving standards.
"History shows that these first races of the season are often the most chaotic of them all, and keeping your head cool is a must when dealing with traffic," said Dennis Gerressen.
"Everyone is nervous, or perhaps even more dangerous — ambitious!," said Dahl. "It's gonna be a brawl!"
That brawl begins at 12:05 GMT on Sunday with qualifying followed by the race at 1300, and it will all be carried live by RaceSpot on the iRacing eSports Network.

Expectations for the Season
A good start to the season will be the key to a strong result in the final standings, as last season proved. The P1 and P2 class winners, Thrustmaster Mivano Racing and AVA Vervatic, respectively, went on to win their championships, while it took all season and nearly all 24 hours at Le Mans for Altus to rebound from its Sebring crash to jump to the top of the standings.
Entering this season, all of our team representatives acknowledge how strong and closely matched their classes are, and few are expecting immediate success.
"We would like to get some top fives and be consistent throughout the season," said Andre. "Obviously, getting a podium would be amazing, but there's a lot of pretty good teams here, so it'll be tough."
"Since it will be our first season racing with the big boys, we don't expect anything crazy like podiums or race wins, to be honest," said Drechsler. "But we will be aiming at consistent midfield positions without getting in trouble in any of the races."
Torque Freak Racing moves from P2 victory lane at Le Mans to the TCR grid at Spa.
"The switch to the TCR puts us in a class with some of the best teams on iRacing, in a car we don't have extensive experience with yet, so we will have to wait for the first race at Spa to see how we stack up against the field," said Gruber.
For a few teams, though, there are reasons to be optimistic.
"Our lineup is one of the best in the category," said Sirica. "We know each other and with our commitment, we are sure that a top-five is definitely possible."
"This time around, we are driving a touring car, which is a car where Team MAD is very competitive, so we are looking forward to seeing where we place ourselves among world class drivers," said Freitas.
"As last season's champions, we expect to play for this title win as well. Still there are some obstacles in our path, especially considering the density of the competition in our class," said Lapchin.
"But we are very motivated! Game on!"
