The first round of Ukraine's presidential election went overwhelmingly to Volodymyr Zelenskiy, but his victory in round two is by no means self-evident—especially if his rival, incumbent President Petro Poroshenko, plays his cards right.
According to the Atlantic Council website, ironically, Poroshenko's three main strengths are Zelenskiy's three main weaknesses. Poroshenko has a distinguished record (with a variety of blemishes, of course). He is a skilled political professional, who's proven that he can lead a country and represent it with dignity on the international stage. And he has a sympathetic personality, which he reveals in smaller gatherings. In contrast, Zelenskiy has no political or statesmanlike record, except as a showman. He has no political skills or politically relevant professionalism to speak of. And, while the television president he plays is a genuinely nice guy, Zelenskiy's personality remains a mystery. Ukrainians know Vasyl Holoborodko, the fictional president he plays in the television series Servant of the People, and not the man who plays him.
Unfortunately for Poroshenko, most Ukrainians ignore his achievements, decry his skills, and think of him as distant and unapproachable. They're wrong on the first two counts, but not quite incorrect on the third.
Fortunately for Zelenskiy, most Ukrainians confuse him with Holoborodko and conclude that he already has a raft of impressive achievements, is a skilled politician, and a thoroughly honest guy. They're wrong on the first two counts, but might be right about the third.
Poroshenko's main problem is that few Ukrainians actually know him. If he wants to catch up with Zelenskiy, he must make every effort to reach out to the population in the weeks before the second round. A barnstorming tour, impromptu visits to schools, churches, or firms, townhall meetings with no-holds-barred opportunities for people to ask questions, and a standing invitation to Zelenskiy to join him in any and all fora are the way to go. Poroshenko has nothing to lose. He can only gain from meeting regular Ukrainians in unstructured, informal settings, letting them vent and insult him, taking it all with grace and dignity, and being utterly honest about all the failures of his administration. He should even apologize. In a word, Poroshenko should become Holoborodko and thereby challenge Zelenskiy to show his true colors, as Zelenskiy, and not as Holoborodko.
Zelenskiy's main problem is that, while he enjoys Holoborodko's aura and popularity, he cannot avoid speaking to the people and being a tad more concrete about his plans as president. Letting Holoborodko do the campaigning for him worked for the first round; it's highly unlikely to work for the second round, when voters will want to know what, specifically, they may get with Zelensky as president. But Zelenskiy really has nothing to offer but vague bromides and populist calls to arms. Small wonder that he continues to be maddeningly vague (even in a recent Radio Liberty interview, which asked him no hard questions).
In contrast to Poroshenko, who has nothing to lose from more public exposure, Zelenskiy has everything to lose. The more people know him, the more they're likely to see that he's just a television president.
If Poroshenko does indeed start reaching out, he will compel Zelenskiy to do the same. Every embarrassing question Poroshenko answers, every apology he makes is, thus, a gain for him and a potential loss for Zelenskiy, who will have to be just as honest about his connections to Russia, Ukraine's oligarchs, and Ihor Kolomoisky as well as about his villa in sunny Italy.
The challenge for Poroshenko is whether he'll be able, in the next two weeks, to overcome a habit developed and consolidated over the last five years. Will he be able to become an American-style politician who rolls up his sleeves, takes hits, and speaks honestly or will he let Zelenskiy get away with playing Holoborodko?

Michigan's Ben Mason has been a do-it-all player this year. On Saturday, he hurdled over a player, something you don't see a fullback normally do.
Michigan sophomore fullback Ben Mason has a cut on his face.
It's why he was sporting several bandages just above his nose and in between his eyebrows after the Wolverines' 42-21 win over Maryland on Saturday. He has had it for a while, and it keeps reopening.
If the past few weeks have been any indication, that cut is not likely to heal soon. Michigan keeps finding new ways to use Mason in every facet of the offense, and the legend of 'Bench' Mason only continues to grow.
More: Michigan football's season really begins next week. Is it ready?
Against the Terrapins, Mason made the highlight reels on the second play of the game. Lined up next to quarterback Shea Patterson out of the shotgun, Mason ran across the field and into the flats. He caught the pass from Patterson, turned upfield — and hurdled Maryland defensive back Darnell Savage Jr.
After landing on his feet, Mason made another defender dive and miss before he was brought to the ground. It was the most impressive 15-yard gain on the day, maybe even the season. Mason is 6-foot-3, 254 pounds, and you don't often — or ever — see a fullback hurdle a defender.
What Mason was thinking during the play? Well, he wasn't. Running through or jumping over a defender is the same to him. He'll do whatever it takes to gain yards.
When Mason got back to the sideline, his teammates were (rightfully) surprised.
Mason's line on the day won't put him on any Heisman watchlists. He had the one reception for 15 yards and five carries for 12 yards with one touchdown.
Still, he is an integral part of the offense because of his versatility. He's a force as a blocker, and is near impossible to stop in short-yardage situations. Aside from one failed fourth-and-1, Mason bulldozed his way forward whenever Michigan needed him to, as he has done all year.
He was even used as a decoy late, when he lined up behind Patterson out of the pistol near the goal-line. Patterson faked the handoff to Mason, rolled out and hit senior fullback Jared Wangler for an easy touchdown.
"Him just being at tailback today brought on a 6-2 defense, brought on an extra defensive lineman that we were able to fake to him and run a boot, get out of the pocket," Harbaugh said.
According to Harbaugh, Wangler's role is expanding because Mason's role is expanding.
That is music to Mason's ears. Fullbacks have become a dying breed as most teams have moved away from the type of offense Michigan runs. Mason believes, to some extent, that fullbacks are unfairly stereotyped as one-dimensional players.
He's more than happy to take up the cause and refute that perception.

It's ultimately a perfectly adequate diversion for younger audiences – but it's also a shame that it doesn't fully capitalize on its demonstrated potential.
By the nature of it being a live-action adaptation of the hit children's animation series Dora The Explorer, James Bobin's Dora And The Lost City Of Gold is not a film that should generate high expectations among adult audiences. Its primary target is quite clearly younger kids who just want to see a colorful, silly adventure play out of the big screen, and really it's only job beyond that is not being too painful an experience for the guardians/chaperons that bring said younger kids to the theater.
In this capacity it's a movie that mostly succeeds – but there is a frustrating side to it as well. This is because the film actually starts out by succeeding in being more than just a "kid's movie" by going full bore with weirdness and goofiness. But after its first act it loses its spirit, and becomes something much more typical and ordinary.
This adaptation brings Dora (Isabella Moner) to life as a young girl who has spent her entire life on a wild adventure, her parents (Michael Pena, Eva Longoria) being explorers studying the Peruvian jungle. Thanks to her parental influences she is impressively smart and capable… but when it comes time for her mom and dad to go on an expedition to find the lost Incan city of Parapata she is deemed too inexperienced to come along. Instead, she is flown back to the United States to live with her cousin, Diego (Jeff Wahlberg), in Los Angeles so that she can experience what it's like to be a normal American teenager.
It's a tough adjustment, as she manages to out-weird Randy (Nicholas Coombe), the weirdest kid in school; and outshine Sammy (Madeleine Madden), her class' star student, but it's not something she has to live with very long. Because of Dora's parents' mission, a team of treasure hunters/mercenaries also searching for Parapata arrives and kidnaps her during a field trip – with Diego, Randy, and Sammy caught up in the abduction as well. Brought back to Peru, they are able to escape with help from a family friend (Eugenio Derbez), and Dora and company go on a quest to try and find her mom and dad and warn them of the coming danger.
What plays out after that setup is basically a boilerplate, underwhelming Goonies-esque adventure, but there is lot to appreciate in how it kicks things off – basically because of the way in which it delivers the energy and bizarreness of a cartoon into live-action. Elements of the show, like Dora speaking directly to the audience, are brought into the new medium, and spun as a fourth wall-breaking joke. And the movie really does a wonderfully funny job with its fish-out-of-water opportunities, as Dora's off-the-charts self-esteem and confidence contrast vividly with the cynicism of modern society. As seen previously with the two most recent Muppet movies, it's in this weirdness realm where James Bobin excels.
It's disappointing, though, that Dora And The Lost City Of Gold can't commit to it. It takes about 40 minutes for Dora to be introduced, fly to Los Angeles, and then get brought back to Peru, and at that point it loses the spark that made it interesting and special. There are some attempts at bringing the oddness back, such as a trip through a field of spores that cause hallucinations in the style of the TV series, but mostly it feels like it is working through a checklist of jungle adventure tropes (before you ask, yes, of course there is quicksand).
The shift even has a notable effect on the movie's performances. While Isabella Moner effectively sells the more Indiana Jones side of Dora as a "serious" explorer, it's much more fun to watch her standout as an endlessly enthusiastic weirdo, and it's with that material that she really pops. This has an important influence on the supporting cast as well, as their specific energies are all meant to reflect Dora's in their own way, and they become considerably less interesting when things get more grounded.
Being overly critical is unnecessary in the case of Dora And The Lost City Of Gold, in that it's ultimately a perfectly adequate diversion for younger audiences – but it's also a shame that it doesn't fully capitalize on its demonstrated potential. Kids will love it regardless, but with more full commitment to the bit it could have been a great cross-demographic hit as well.

The Project of Hacivat-Karagöz: As the London Yunus Emre Institute, we are proud to share our educational content project called 'Hacivat-Karagöz'.
By launching this project, we aim to promote Turkish culture as well as establish a bridge between students coming from different cultural backgrounds. Our main aim is to provide a space where students are able to learn about the traditional Turkish show while being entertained at the same time. We strongly believe that the peaceful coexistence in our multicultural society relies on the understanding of other cultures and mutual respect.
About the Play: This traditional play was one of the most popular entertainment past-time in the Ottoman Empire and was played during the religious month of Ramadan, at festivals, coffeehouses and gardens. The main characters of the play are called Karagöz and Hacivat. Karagöz represents the morals and common sense of society whereas Hacivat represents the educated, well-mannered, smooth-talking aristocracy. Each character tries to persuade and influence the other in their quest to solve every day problems. The other characters are Çelebi, the charmer; Tiryaki, the opium smoker; Beberuhi, the dwarf; Bekir, the drunk; Denyo, the half-wit; Civan, the tightwad; and Mercan, the spice trader. There's also the Greek doctor, the Jewish scrap dealer, the Laz boatman, the Iranian poet, a handful of licentious women, and a host of other diverse and shady personalities. The play was prevalently played in Istanbul which later spread to other parts of Anatolia by the artists going on tours.
The technique of play: The white curtain on which Karagöz is played is named as "the mirror". At first the curtains were 2×2.5 m. then they began to be made in 110×80 m. size. In the inner side, below the curtain there is an "edging wood". There are also cymbals, tambourines, canes, pipes and lamps to illuminate the curtain. These are on the edging wood. The designs used in the play are 32-40cm sized and they are generally made from the skin of camel or cows. The skins are made transparent with a special method. Then they are embroidered with sharp painted blades called "nevregan". The pieces are tied with ropes named rafters or catgut. Then the designs are painted with Indian ink or root paints.
The show is free for schools for a short period of time. If you want to host the show fill in the form below.

Wisconsin Sheriff's Investigation: Election Laws Not Just Broken but 'Shattered' During 2020 Election
By Nick Arama | 7:00 PM on October 28, 2021
AP Photo/Ben Gray, File
Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling announced today the results of an investigation into election law problems in Racine County and Wisconsin.
"Election statute was in fact not just broken, but shattered by members of the Wisconsin Elections Commission," Schmaling said.
Schmaling and Sgt. Michael Luell, who led the investigation, said that they determined that eight people were living at the Ridgewood Care Center who had diminished capacity and who couldn't even recognize family members at the Ridgewood Care Center had nonetheless voted by mail-in ballots. The investigation began on the complaint of one woman who said her mother voted despite not even being able to recognize her and beginning to hallucinate.
Schmaling said that they might forward recommendations to the local DA but that they actually wanted a statewide investigation because they believed the problem was greater than in the one home but Luell's investigation so far had only pertained to the one home.
They claimed the Wisconsin Elections Commission broke the law when it told towns that they didn't have to follow state law requiring "Special Voting Deputies" to go into the nursing homes to ensure that those who wanted to vote could vote. Those deputies are generally bipartisan and then can also obviously see that the actual person is voting for themselves.
That law was waived by a bipartisan vote of the WEC throughout 2020, which the RCSO alleges is illegal and should be considered "election fraud" under Wisconsin statute. According to the investigation, staff members acted as SVDs, even though state law was supposed to have prohibited this.
Luell played a recording of one of the Commissioners on the WEC admitting that they would be telling clerks to break the law if they did this.
Luell alleged Thursday that not only did the WEC advise that laws be ignored, but also that they failed to find alternatives to traditional SVDs to ensure that people who wanted to act as SVDs could do so in the interest of election integrity. He pointed out that the WEC has been meeting virtually for months, but never advised that perhaps SVDs could also do their work virtually.
Luell also reviewed visitor logs from the facility throughout 2020 that found dozens of non-employees and non-residents, such as maintenance workers and those coming in for interviews and at least one DoorDash food delivery driver, were allowed into the building throughout 2020, but no exceptions were made for SVDs.
Schmaling said that he'd contacted the Attorney General Josh Kaul, a Democrat, but Kaul declined to investigate.
In response today, the Wisconsin Department of Justice, run by Kaul, said:
"Here, DOJ was previously in contact with Sheriff Schmaling, and DOJ advised that certain interviews be conducted that had not been at that time. Significantly, no charges have been filed in this case by the Racine County DA's office. DOJ is also currently not aware of similar allegations anywhere else in Wisconsin."
Schmaling said they're just trying to hold people accountable and that there were clear violations of the law.
Will anything be done to follow up on these questions? It's not clear, but it obviously raises the greater question of varying from the state election law which isn't supposed to happen. That creates a problem if it's done across the state as it allegedly was done here in regard to nursing homes in terms of allegedly not having the SVDs.
As we noted in the recent situation in California where Governor Newsom was trying to dictate election law, that's specifically a legislative function that's not supposed to be assumed by others, even the governor.
Luell only looked at the one home so they don't know how widespread problems might be, but that's why they really should have an investigation to determine it and that's likely why they probably went public with it so anyone who might have concerns would be aware they were looking into the question.

The monopoly rights held by the West Auckland trusts are not exhaustive. There are a couple of exemptions for off-licenses and for on-licenses it only applies to taverns and hotels.
One off-license exemption is for production sites such as wineries and breweries. The exemption means that manufacturing premises can get an off-license and therefore sell their own product, but also any other products they choose to range. They are not limited to their own products or category in any way. There are a few wineries in the district that have off-licenses and also Hopscotch has recently been in the NZ Herald with their nano-brewery. There's also an exemption for retailers that previously held a Wine Resellers license (back in the 1960's) and they can continue to get an off-license, though they are limited to selling wine e.g. Wine Villa in Kelston and Te Atatu and also Lynnmall Cellars.
So unless the premises is used for manufacturing, or the premises held a wine resellers license a long time ago (and has continuously held an off-license since then), only the licensing trust can hold an off-license in the district.
Regarding on-licenses, The Trusts are always keen to reiterate the point that anyone is free to open a licensed restaurant in West Auckland, just the same as anywhere else in NZ. They are absolutely correct. There is also a widely held misconception that The Trusts have a role to play in the issuing of alcohol licenses to other operators such as cafes and restaurants. This is not the case. Auckland Council issues the alcohol licenses and The Trusts hold no additional rights to appeal license applications. Although The Trusts reiterate this point regularly, the misconception remains. It must be very frustrating for them. The Trusts don't have any special rights or role in enforcing licensing rules/conditions either. Responsibility for enforcement lies with Auckland Council and the Police.
The Trusts applies for alcohol licenses in exactly the same way as any other operator. Auckland Council receives the application and the District Licensing Committee decides if the license will be granted. The monopoly simply means that anyone applying for an alcohol license where the monopoly applies (such as a tavern on-license) will be automatically declined unless the applicant is the relevant Licensing Trust.
So only The Trusts can operate a tavern out West. But anyone can operate a licensed restaurant. Is there any difference? Let's explore.
The Act provides definitions of both taverns and restaurants.
So what's the point of the different classes of restaurants? That is simply how they set the fees. Class 1 Restaurants are perceived to pose greater risk in the way they manage their casual drinkers, therefore they pay higher fees.
There is clearly a difference between taverns and restaurants. In practice, how does the DLC (and ARLA on appeal) determine if a premise is primarily serving meals (i.e. a restaurant) or alcohol and other refreshments (i.e. a tavern).
There is no formula to apply for determining the principal business of a premise. On each occasion, the DLC will make a judgement after evaluating and weighing the relevant matters.
Restaurant licenses always have a condition that states something like "b) liquor may be sold only on the following days and during the following hours when the premises are being operated as a RESTAURANT…". It follows that a premise cannot operate as a tavern at certain times and as a restaurant at other times. A restaurant cannot close the kitchen and continue to serve alcoholic drinks. When the kitchen closes – so must the bar. (NB – Patrons consuming drinks at the end of a meal will be considered diners for about an hour after they finish eating, after that they will be considered casual drinkers).
Patrons eating food is not the same thing as serving "meals". A meal must involve and centre around consumption of food. Wedges, nachos, french fries, and similar, while clearly qualifying as 'food', may not be 'meals'. However, context is important. For example, eating Nachos at a Mexican restaurant is more likely to be considered a meal than eating Nachos in the bar area of a bar/grill.
Making meals available does not satisfy the requirement that a restaurant serves meals. That is, just because the kitchen is open and meals are available isn't enough. The requirement is for meals to be served at all time when the business is authorised to be open for the sale of liquor. In plain English, if no-one is ordering / consuming meals for any length of time, the bar should be closed.
However, ARLA are pragmatic in their judgments and have stated "Where over time a large number of patrons are observed not to be consuming any food the premises cannot be said to be 'principally' used for the supply of meals". So it's not interpreted too strictly. It is always a judgment made by the DLC / ARLA and there is a good dose of reasonableness in their interpretations. Should there be a period of time where meals are not served and causal drinkers dominate, ARLA's judgment will be influenced by the frequency and duration of these periods (i.e. how often, how long).
The Class 1 restaurant definition states that it operates as a tavern at least one night a week (thereby implying that such operations are acceptable), but it is not the overall premises that can operate as a tavern. Only the bar area can operate as a tavern, in the context of the overall premises principally serving meals.
There has been some misconceptions amongst all involved in alcohol licensing around classes of restaurants, especially class 1.
Being a class 1 restaurant does not entitle the restaurant to act as some form of mini tavern. A class 1 restaurant has the same obligations as to service of meals as any other class of restaurant.
The classes of restaurant are simply for fee setting purposes. The classes of restaurant are based on how a restaurant deals with the consumption of alcohol especially its casual drinkers and that the restaurant should be charged a fee reflecting their perceived risk.
Therefore the fees regime envisages that in the significant separate bar area alcohol will be served without meals to patrons in that bar area, i.e. casual drinkers. Because this poses a perceived high risk class 1 restaurants accrue more points in the risk rating.
Class 2 and class 3 restaurants are set up to deal with the consumption of alcohol including casual drinkers in a different way and are perceived to be a lower risk and therefore accrue less points.
A meal must involve and centre around consumption of food. Where patrons are able to drink alcohol without consuming any food, they cannot be said to be having a meal.
So to be clear the introduction of classes of restaurants has not changed the law in relation to the need for meals to be eaten at a restaurant; the classes simply dictate the fee to be paid based on how the restaurant is set up for the consumption of alcohol.

Picture the scene. You'll have to, since the camera was inside as I turned from filling the watering can and spotted a robin perched on the highest point of the rusty chair's back. Fluffing herself up (and you'll see why I confidently state the gender) she wiggled and shook coquettishly, backlit by the rising sun. Cue her beau flying in from the safety of the Rosa glauca hedge, stage left. The briefest of pairings, balanced precariously – a blur of shaking wings and tail feathers, before he left the scene. This performance repeated itself 3 times in quick succession before I thought go and grab the camera. Needless to say the pair had left this curiously open romantic (though romance is surely not an avian concept?) rendezvous when I returned, but it reminded me to photograph the immaculate mossy nest tucked into the trailing ferns covering the old wall in front of the house and about 15 yards away. I'd spotted this about a week earlier – already with young feathered chicks in.
So, peering into the shaded recess, on April 12th, I saw a black empty hole at the nest's centre, and cursed myself for missing the boat, or chicks, and early brood image. I snapped a couple of pics of the nest anyway with the camcorder held at arm's length. Later the same day, as I drank a lunchtime tea in chilly sunshine at the terrace table, I spotted the robin again nipping into the nest opening.
Just cleaning up the nest, I guessed, ready for laying another clutch. I then figured that I could get some time lapse pictures of her or him flying in, so set things up on the tripod for a half an hour or so, and wandered off.
In the evening, looking at the footage, I realised that the shaded empty nest's 'black hole centre' was in fact the very dark foliage of 2 nearly mature youngsters, hunkered down and keeping still – bird beaks lowered, not expectantly gaping; and pressing bodies firmly into the mossy cup to evade the single huge dark predatory eye investigating their vulnerable refuge. They were clearly nearly large enough to leave the nest, and were surprisingly mobile exploring beneath the wall's ferny cloak, and popping out in screen captures at various points amongst the greenery.
Within another 7 days, 3 pale cream, brown speckled eggs had been laid in the nest (April 19th), but since then although I've seen the robins entering the nest, no more have been laid, and as yet they haven't begun sitting again. Is this because of the change in weather? Or had they been bothered by my fleeting intervention? Or the recent noise and activity of 2 young visiting grandchildren?
After many aborted efforts, we managed to pay a visit to Cardiff Flower Show this year, and what a delight, falling as it does towards the end of April. The excellent road system now takes you on dual carriageway from the M4 West to within just a mile of the city centre's swish new St.David's shopping centre, and snazzy multi storey car park, which in turn is a bare 5 minutes walk from Cardiff Castle and Bute Park – the show's venue. On a Sunday, just a couple of traffic lights and roundabouts, and you're parked up. No queues at all. Compare that with hours spent in traffic jams trying to reach Tatton, or Hampton Court on previous floral show forays, let alone Fiona's trip into London for Chelsea one year!
Greeted at the entrance by an imposing wicker BFG, since the show was celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Welsh born Roald Dahl, the big advantage of the timing of this show is that (obviously), there are a whole range of nurseries displaying spring flowers and plants, as well as year round perennials like Clematis. Since these are real favourites in our garden, we had a hugely enjoyable day.
Of particular interest to me was a glimpse of the display of daffodils by Ron and Adrian Scamp, of Quality Daffodils, from Falmouth in Cornwall. They've won an RHS gold medal for their displays every year since 2003, and I've used Ron as a source of several old cultivars in recent years – though Firebrand is one to be added for 2016. It's not difficult to see why he's so successful at shows, though many of the modern colour variants weren't to my taste.
We were also wowed by a fabulous display of Japanese Primula sieboldii variants, from Penny's primulas, though we suspect that the plants were brought on in polytunnels in time for the show, since our only form in the garden at present is barely showing its leaves yet. But what a fabulous delicate and subtle early spring flower. Click here for her mail order website.
The show gardens were interesting, though obviously not on the scale of the larger flower shows, and I enjoyed seeing the woven bee hives featured on the garden based on the ethos of the historical local physicians of Myddfai… Apparently the contemporary hives were sourced from Bulgaria, and one is lined both externally and internally with clay. The usual stalls selling any manner of gardening ornaments and sheds, as well as some outstanding artisan foodie stalls made for a brilliant day out in cool, but sunny conditions. I imagine it might well become a regular trip for us.
More unique was Fiona's big adventure up to London with a friend to see the Royal Academy's recent exhibition "Painting The Modern Garden". An exploration of impressionist painter-gardeners, and majoring on the work of Claude Monet, and his iconic garden at Giverny, it was clearly a must visit for us, as the self styled Garden Impressionists. Except that I'm not a great one for big exhibitions, preferring to study and read at my leisure, removed from the crowds. So for me, the accompanying book which Fiona was kind enough to return with, is a delight, and one I can thoroughly recommend to anyone unable to have visited the actual exhibition. Many fabulous works of art and some by painters I was completely unfamiliar with. As well as much background history to the gardens artists and impressionists movement. The exhibition although now closed, is currently being screened as a film event at cinemas internationally and in the UK, and will almost certainly be made available as a DVD in due course….one for my wish list. Click here for more.
But unfortunately whilst catalogues can be scoured, and bulbs sourced (apparently Monet was an inveterate catalogue reader, ever alert to the latest introductions), the issues of creating the desired visual feast can be stymied by variations in flowering times, heights and vigour, which are often difficult concepts to communicate via a written and even well photographed catalogue, where one bulb is not shown growing next to another… So probably nothing beats visiting other gardens in the locality, or better still trial and error, as with one of our trial areas for older daffodil forms, above. But this all takes time, (and I mean years, since one only has a single shot at it each spring) and a modest amount of money.
The spring bulbs' paint has nearly dried for this year, and another layer of embellishment, or blending or blurring can be planned for another subterranean splurge this autumn.
Actually this is not entirely true – my idea from last year of buying surplus bulbs (tulips and some daffodils) and planting them elsewhere to be moved to just the right place in the green, right now, shows definite promise for finessing planting schemes (these are more such trial or temporary beds below)… … Particularly useful if one is driven, as I seem to increasingly be, towards multi layered or intermingling planting mixes.
These "Merlin" daffodils planted a dozen to a big pot in home made loosely filled compost, could be knocked out with little root disturbance, and seem to have suffered much less than moving snowdrops in the green, where the bulbs are wrenched from firm soil.

We also went to Cardiff and thoroughly enjoyed it, particularly Primula sieboldii I don't find them easy to grow they survive but not thrive I shall be interested to see where you have planted yours when we visit in May.
I'm still mulling over where to plant them – in a way I think we should have been warned not to put them outside straight away, since the foliage is clearly very tender still, but the display was stunning , wasn't it?
see you in May? with Llechryd GC?
Another wonderful post with great photographs of your wonderful garden. I missed the London exhibition due to family being here on holiday but I can always come and visit you and see a 'real' impressionist garden! With reference to your correspondent Suzette's comment about the Secret Garden- it is one of my favourite books and although a children's book it is really well worth a read! Thank you for sharing the delights of your garden.
Thanks for the very kind comment, Marianne. I think the DVD of the exhibition will be well worth looking out for…Fiona loved the real thing, but I have to say that West Wales gardens are lovely right now, and some days like when the snow fell on the tulips, I thought that you can't beat actually being there, in the moment – similarly we were at Aberglasney later on Wednesday, and loved it…particularly those 2 enormous white flowering cherries.
I've just revisited some favourite Oscar Wilde stories with some of the grandchildren ( which I have very fond memorie sof from my childhood)…but I never read The Secret Garden… I clearly need to!
Thank you for your reply Julian. The cherry trees are beautiful and I've never seen them so floriferous. We've been to Dinefwr today and the woods are BLUE! The bluebells are a few days away from peak viewing but stunning all the same- aren't we fortunate to live in such a lovely area. Oscar Wilde stories – another favourite of mine- you can't beat the old ones!! Bank Holiday may see me planting some plants- I haven't started yet! Happy Holiday.
Beautiful post! Daffodils and tulips are my spring favorites. I loved the story about the chicks in the nest. They do look big, and hide themselves well. European robin is a brave and curious bird. Their American cousins are rather shy. Thank you for sharing your amazing photographs!
I so much admire the way that you manage to combine a gardener's practicality with your impressionistic/painterly visions! The holding area for spare bulbs is an excellent one that I may borrow from you (or take!) I wonder if Ron Scamp does idents? I have two daffodils which I brought from an old walled garden behind us in Buckinghamshire. I treasure them for their grace, but don't know their names (one is rather like 'Firebrand'). Unfortunately too late for this year – but thanks so much for putting the idea in my head! Such a wonderful garden you have (the cranes and the tulips!). Thanks for sharing.
Do try the spare bulbs idea… even with really good photos, it's impossible to add in extra bulbs into mixed plantings, unless you do it in the green…or at least, I can't manage it! But I think loose planting in open compost probably helps with the subsequent replanting in the spring.
I would try Ron Scamp with photos – I didn't mention that I'd taken along pics of 2 old varieties I'd recently found in a nearby old garden to the show and he had a go at identifying them, and has previously identified " Merlin" – now a firm favourite of ours, from a pic I sent him. A promise of a bulb purchase in due course might help as well …I know he's really busy at present processing orders from spring shows, but has always been very helpful with my queries. I'm guessing he would send bulbs to France?
What excellent ideas you've given me Julian (on top of relishing your blog as well!) I'm moving quite a few bulbs into a cut flower area this year and next spring I will try to sort out the ident with Ron Scamp (an order will, as you diplomatically suggest, help a great deal!). Also the 'in the green' moving. Perfect!
I'm looking forward to reclaiming my shed, but in the meantime we are just watching the adults flying in with food in their beaks.
The Cardiff show looks good, I've not had the chance to visit before and looks a lot more civilised to visit than the London shows, like you I struggle with the crowds, Fiona's gift is perfect for you, was there a TV programme on Monty Don and James Priest, this sounds familiar.
Your garden looks so beautiful too with April snow – we have seen swallows, but no yet heard a cuckoo here. Hope May brings some warm sunshine for you.
Thanks for the comment, and in particular the robin information. I think the second clutch of eggs has been abandoned, and I haven't seen them flying in, of late. Mind you we now have 2 magpie nests around the garden, so any small birds will struggle now I guess, with escaping their eagle eyes. Good luck with your robins – they are such wonderful birds to have around…so 'tame' with us when working….but as soon as they spot a threatening camera lens…they're off!
As you gathered, I really enjoyed the Cardiff event – helped of course by the weather, but being able to get in and out so easily is such a boon – I hope it can manage to stay so enjoyable as it grows …apparently visitor numbers have grown every year, and were a new record in 2016 at 26,000 – small beer compared with the mega shows, which is probably why it's still enjoyable!
Not having TV , I don't know about the MD/JP programme …we're currently wondering whether we make a return visit to Giverny, about 10 years after our initial hugely influential trip on a hot early May day. Would we be disappointed , or thrilled?? Apparently visitor numbers there have increased every year, and it was pretty busy last time.
Just back from a week in France..hence the delay. A very kind comment, but not sure about the truthful photos… one is inevitably selective – there haven't been any pics of my weedy veg area yet!!
But an interesting point about artistic licence, which I'll illustrate with pics in my next post. A return visit to Giverny was a disaster/nightmare/ enlightening/wonderful….depending on whether just cropped photos, or the description of the visitor experiences are included ….

PARENTING BEYOND GENDER
Attitude to women is a significant index to the wholeness and sanity of a society. Since the time issues began to be settled by might, men havehad that sort of 'ascendancy' over women. He assigned her roles. He determined the breadth of her rights. He fixed norms she had to abide by. He recognised or denied her worth as and when he pleased.
In the process,men forgot that men and women were meant by the Creator to live in communion and community. Love is the foundation of both. Love is nothing if not egalitarian. Egalitarianism is not a pious and fancy thing: it is a value rooted in a spiritual worldview.
The essence of the 'spiritual' is a relationship of harmony between body and soul, between matter and spirit. In Hindu thought of ancient times, the man-woman relationship was seen also in cosmic terms. Purusha, the maleprinciple, was active and dynamic. Prakriti, the femaleprinciple, was passive and receptive. It took two complementary principles —the active and the passive —to create lifeforms. Everything dynamic, and life-related, involves this harmony of the opposites.
The scheme of things that man created on the evolving canvas of culture was contrary to this law of nature and logic of life. The principle of complementarity was replaced with conflict and control. Communion was abandoned in favour of domination. In the process, both principles — the male and the female —got distorted; the male, more than the female. The worst was that women came to internalise this deformation as the norm, with unfortunate consequences for wholesome parenting. Mothers who do not treat their sons as greater assets are the exception than the rule even today.
In biblical thought a man is truly human only if he has the heart of a mother. In a real sense, Adam was the physical mother of Eve if the second Creation Narrative is read as complementary to the first. The first Creation Narrative affirms the essential and irreducible oneness of the male and the female. They are created as inseparable,created in one breath, so to speak. The Second Narrative elaborates and fortifies this foundational principle symbolically with the idea of Eve originating in what is internal to Adam —his rib.
What is internal is indispensable. It is, or should be, out of bounds for manipulative control. It is to be cherished and protected, like one's own life. Such is the status of woman in the divine scheme of things.
The biblical narrative consolidates this insight further with reference to the institution of the family. Completely contrary to the cultural norms prevalent in every culture we have known till date, it is the man who is required to 'leave his father and mother and to cling to his wife', which is envisaged as a pre-condition for the two becoming one body (Gen. 2:24), which is the benchmark for any man-woman relationship.
Millennia later, the biblical account took up the same concern, burdened a great deal more with historical experience, in the context of the Crucifixion. In a sense, the Crucifixion signals the macro failure of parenting. A whole generation had come up by then, callously insensitive to the cause of justice and the call of humanity. Responding to all of this Jesus says, "Woman, behold your son" (Jn. 19:26). It is customary to interpret this exhortation with reference to family duties and obligations. But it has a wider scope. Every mother, every parent, needs to mind what sort of sons they nurture. Are they, indeed, nurturing sons as wholesome human beings, as 'sons of women'? In this context, Jesus, on the eve of his death, makes it abundantly clear that a caring spirit should be the hallmark of 'sons' and 'men born of women'. Maleness must be measured not on the scale of the capacity for cruelty and control, but by the capacity to care; care, especially for women.
THE RULE OF LOVE
The availability of justice, especially to the weaker sections of a society —women, children, the poor, the underprivileged and the despised —is not a matter merely of the 'rule of law'. Even more basic is the rule of love. That is where parenting connects with the cause of justice. There is no substitute for parenting in propagating a culture of caring: in laying the foundations of love for a life based on life-sustaining values for a society. Strictly speaking, therefore, parenting that remains blind to the duty ofinculcating values in children, especially sons, is poor and paltry parenting.
There is an issue of extreme poignancy that Jesus raises, ironically with an important functionary of the Judaic religious hierarchy: Simon, the Pharisee. It is recorded in the 7th chapter of the Gospelaccording to St. Luke. Given the constraints of space, I do not summarise the context but limit myself to quoting from it one of the most searching and searing questions Jesus ever asked.
"Simon, do you see this woman?"
For twenty centuries, the significance of this question — the fundamental issue it flags —has remained glossed over. The issue is that men have lost the capacity to see woman as woman. I do not want, here, to go into the sociology of this issue, relevant though it is. It is a harsh and regrettable reality that men choose to see 'woman' as a sinner and as a seducer. Even religious literature abounds with these insinuations. The subliminal disquietude that men feel about 'woman' is sustained largely by this presumption of gender-encoded guilt ascribed to woman as woman.
This unjust ascription, wholly incompatible with the overall spiritual vision of the Bible, served as an alibi for treating women with less than fairness for centuries. Various lame excuses, including presumption of pollution associated with cyclical biological processes — surprisingly, even including the holiest of all experiences, childbirth —were improvised and institutionalised. The net outcome of all this has been that man lost the ability to 'see' woman —woman as the heroic bearer of life. Surprisingly, even Mariolatry —with which I am at home spiritually —did not make a good enough dent on this.
Ironically, the ghost of this oversight visited the church in the form of Dan Brown's Davinci Code. Under the garb of historical fiction, Jesus was insinuated to have had a physical relationship with Mary Magdalene. It rattled the church. It need not have,for it was wholly fictitious and factitious. The reason it had such a shocking impact was the arbitrary ascription of spiritual inferiority to women. Jesus had, if you like, a 'physical' relationship with a leper, who got cleansed because he touched him. "Having a physical relationship" is a man-made expression the meaning of which will change if Jesus is the Son of God. Language will not define him; he will define and refine language. If Jesus has a physical relationship with Mary Magdalene she will be cleansed and her demon-possession will come to an end. That should be, ideally, the nature of man's relationship with woman; and vice versa. The inability to see 'woman' as woman is the demon-possession afflicting man, if Jesus is believed.
Jesus raises the issue, for all times to come, that Simon, especially because he is a high religious functionary bounded by the roles, traditions, and stereotypes of his religion, could not 'see' woman. His eyes were good enough to see sinners. His religious sight is super in spotting 'sinners' in women. Jesus has the eyes to see a woman, created in the image and likeness of God, in the soul written off as 'sinner' by Simon.
Jesus came into this world as the Son of Man so that 'the Son of Man' in every human being — male and female —can be awakened and expressed. It is my conviction that Christian parenting is far more crucial in this respect than anything else, including church-centered ministries, valuable though they are.
Those who have even a nodding acquaintance with the Gospels cannot fail to see the comparative centrality of Mary in the life of Jesus. Joseph, his earthly father, is by far the weaker presence. Legendary stories complementing the scripturally niggardly treatment of Jesus' life prior to the commencement of his public ministry at the age of thirty, have it that he was close to his mother and helped her generously with household chores. The takeaway from these plausible narratives is that mothers can play a profoundly important role in the humane formation of their sons.
Blessed is the society in which parenting makes its invaluable contribution towards creating a humane, healthy society in which women would not have to be protected by the might of the state against the gender-rooted cruelty and perversions of men.

PETALING JAYA: Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd (MRCB) and Kwasa Land Sdn Bhd, the master developer of the Rubber Research Institute (RRI) land in Sungai Buloh, firmed up a joint venture to develop 26ha that would be the town centre for the massive development.
MRCB and Kwasa Land, which is wholly owned by the Employees Provident Fund (EPF), established a joint-venture company, Kwasa Development Sdn Bhd (KDSB), which would undertake the project that is estimated to have RM8bil in gross development value.
MRCB is acquiring a 70% stake in KDSB for RM816.6mil that comes with a profit warranty of R2bil over 15 years. It also has to ensure that the gross development value does not go below RM8bil.
In an announcement to Bursa Malaysia, MRCB said the appointed valuers had appraised the value of the 26ha to be RM1.09bil and that the company's portion should accordingly be RM763mil.
But it justified the premium because of the prospects and that it had to go through a competitive bidding process.
Based on the price that MRCB has valued the RRI land, it works out to RM390 per sq ft.
One of the conditions for the development is that Kwasa Land and/or the EPF shall be given a first right of refusal to purchase any commercial development or property valued more than RM100mil within the town centre project.
However, this provision shall not be applicable if the sale is made to any of the real estate investment trusts where MRCB holds an interest.
In a statement yesterday, Kwasa Land stated that the agreement defines the scope, terms and conditions between it and MRCB.
The MRCB proposal had also received the highest combined technical and commercial score in the independently evaluated bid.
"The agreement spells out the purpose of regulating the relationship with each other and to set out the respective rights, duties and obligations and mutual covenants relating to the relationship inter se as shareholders of a company, and to record our mutual understanding and commitment in respect of the relationship and obligations of the parties so as to ensure that the company shall undertake the business in accordance with and upon the terms and conditions agreed," Kwasa Land chairman Tan Sri Samsudin Osman said in a statement.
At the signing ceremony yesterday, Kwasa Land was represented by Samsudin and managing director Mohd Lotfy Mohd Noh while MRCB was represented by group managing director Tan Sri Mohamad Salim Fateh Din and its chairman Tan Sri Azlan Zainol.
Kwasa Land added that it had obtained an in-principle approval for the master layout plan from the Shah Alam City Council. The full approval is expected by the end of the year with infrastructure works to kick off by the first quarter of 2015.

Sonbol, H.S., 2015. Physiological characterisation of the neonatal meningitic bacterium Cronobacter sakazakii. PhD, Nottingham Trent University.
Hana Sonbol -2016.pdf - Published version
The Cronobacter genus is a member of the Enterobacteriaceae family that comprises 7 species. A multiple locus sequence typing (MLST) scheme was designed for Cronobacter and was used to identify over 400 sequence types (STs). Notably, C. sakazakii ST4 and its single/double loci variants, which together form clonal complex 4 (CC4), are predominantly associated with neonatal meningitis. The present PhD study aimed to investigate the diversity of C. sakazakii especially CC4 using MLST analysis, physiological characterisation of stress responses along with genomic analysis associated genes. In the first part of the study, MLST was used to analyse three collections of environmental bacterial isolates. The isolates were from powdered infant formula, milk powder factory environments, and milk powder processing equipment; they had not been profiled prior to this study and had previously been identified as E. sakazakii. These environmental strains were obtained from geographically diverse countries. A total of 39 STs were identified across the studied isolates. The analysis revealed that despite their geographical and temporal spread, only 4 Cronobacter species were isolated from these three collections of strains, namely C. sakazakii, C. malonaticus, C. turicensis, and C. muytjensii. Interestingly, this study demonstrated that C. sakazakii CC4 isolates represent a predominantly stable lineage within the Cronobacter genus in these environments. This result led to further investigation to study the physiological factors in the CC4 clone associated with its persistence in the environment. This included desiccation stress, heat tolerance, acid resistance and serum resistance assays. The desiccation and serum resistance assays indicated that all of the tested C. sakazakii CC4 and non-CC4 strains showed equal resistance against desiccation and serum. The experiments also indicated that C. sakazakii CC4 strains were more heat tolerant than non-CC4 strains to 100°C heat. The most interesting observation was that C. sakazakii CC4 strains were significantly more acid-resistant than non-CC4 strains to pH 3.5, which is the pH of the neonatal stomach. The results were supported by the outer membrane protein (OMP) profiling where C. sakazakii strains revealed more OMPs than non-CC4 at pH 3.5. Capsule production assays showed that most of the C. sakazakii CC4 and non-CC4 strains produced mucoid capsules when cultured on milk agar. The motility of the tested strains was associated with the presence of the fliRQPON flagellar genes. An exhaustive BLAST search of sequenced strains to identify genes associated with virulence or with environmental fitness found no significant difference between the virulence potential of C. sakazakii CC4 and C. sakazakii non-CC4 strains. The present study provides important insights into neonatal meningitis C. sakazakii CC4. Further studies are warranted to characterise the OMPs that are predominant in C. sakazakii CC4 and elucidate their significance towards virulence of this important neonatal health-associated pathogen.

Colleges seek to better prepare students for careers in tech risk management.
When Nasir Memon, a computer science and engineering professor at New York University, was first starting his cybersecurity program, he wanted to offer more hands-on experiences for his students.
"I always thought cybersecurity was not a topic you talk about, but where you learn by doing things," says Memon.
So he organized a cybersecurity awareness event that involved a team competition — with the goal of solving security problems.
The students liked the event so much, Memon decided to continue it each year and extend its reach to other universities. Now, this event is known as Capture the Flag and is open to high schoolers and undergraduates internationally.
"That's really how NYU got on my radar," says engineering student Christopher Thompson.
Thompson competed in Capture the Flag — which uses challenges modeled after real-world problems — during his last two years of high school. He now serves as an organizer for the event.
"Because we're targeting undergraduates for this competition, it's perfect because we're getting them to think about the kinds of problems they would face if they chose cybersecurity as a profession," says Thompson.
It's estimated that by 2019, there will be 1.5 million open and unfilled cybersecurity positions. So it should come as no surprise that schools like NYU's Tandon School of Engineering are seeking unique ways to recruit and educate.
For Wilbur Wright College in Chicago, students are learning cybersecurity concepts via a military-style boot camp.
Beginning this spring, the U.S. Department of Defense is offering cybersecurity training modeled after a boot camp from Fort McNair, the Chicago Sun Times reports. In the six-month program, Wright College students will work with active-duty military personnel to learn how to secure public and private networks.
After the training, the Sun Times reports that students will be eligible to take the Offensive Security Certified Professional Certification Test, of which Fort McNair boot camp graduates have an 80 percent passing rate.
In an effort to train students for future cybersecurity careers, Indiana University has announced a new interdisciplinary graduate program that will teach business, IT and legal students practical approaches to cybersecurity across all fields.
"If you speak with policy makers and technical specialists about cybersecurity, they often speak about similar problems but use totally different languages," Scott Shackelford, director of the Ostrom Workshop Program for Cybersecurity and Internet Governance, said in the news release.
The new Master of Science in cybersecurity risk management degree will launch this fall.

Le Diamant Mystérieux, également connu sous le titre Le Dernier Fiacre (titre original : L'ultima carrozzella), est un film de 1943 réalisé par Mario Mattoli.

Synopsis
Antonio Urbani, dit « Toto », est un cocher romain. Cet homme nourrit une forte antipathie pour les chauffeurs de taxis, d'après lui la cause de la disparition progressive des véhicules hippomobiles et de leurs conducteurs. Un de ces taxistes est son ex-ami Pasquale, avec son fils Roberto.

Un jour, Toto prend en course une chanteuse de cabaret qui a hâte d'arriver à la gare pour prendre le train, et qui dans sa précipitation oublie dans le fiacre une valisette. Immédiatement après, Toto, sur le chemin de retour, est tamponné par la voiture conduite par Roberto.

Le jour suivant, Toto lit une annonce signalant la valise perdue et s'emploie à la restituer à sa propriétaire, la rapportant à la pension où elle loge. Il fait la connaissance du comique Valentino, le colocataire de la chanteuse. Il reçoit une récompense pour avoir rapporté la valisette, qu'il ira parier avec Valentino sur une course de chevaux, gagnant une somme conséquente.

Mais quelques jours plus tard, il se fait accuser par la chanteuse d'avoir substitué un précieux anneau qui se trouvait dans la valisette par un faux. Il se retrouve au tribunal à se défendre de l'accusation, et c'est grâce à l'aide de Roberto qu'il sera disculpé.

Are you ready for the downstream effects of GDPR compliance?
by Coreio Advisory Services Associate | Sep 14, 2018 | Advisory Services
Privacy has been the new normal for a while now, but the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) ups the stakes. With it now in effect, you've likely met the initial requirements for compliance . But there's always going to be more to do, and there are less obvious impacts you need to keep on top of.
By the time GDPR went into full effect May 25, 2018, there were several things you were expected to have done.
For starters, you had to understand if you were in scope of the European privacy legislation, which is based on citizenship, not geography. Were you collecting and storing information about European citizens? There's a good chance the answer was yes. From there, some of GDPR's requirements were quite clear from the outset.
First, you needed to have a framework for breach notification: Under GDPR, a breach notification must be done almost immediately. It requires that an organization suffering a breach posing a risk to individuals must notify the relevant Data Protection Authority (DPA) within 72 hours, and affected individuals without undue delay.
Second, you needed to make sure you had consent from individuals to use their personal data, use it only for what it's intended for, and renew consent if the purpose changes. The latter includes that individual's "right to be forgotten." A data subject can choose to withdraw that consent, meaning any personal data must be destroyed immediately. That puts the onus on the organization to understand the complete lifecycle of their data, from onboarding to storage.
Finally, GDPR requires that any organization that's a public authority, engages in large-scale systematic monitoring, or engages in large-scale processing of sensitive personal data, appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO). Even if you don't fall into those categories, it probably made sense to identify a person or create an integrated team with the right skillsets to liaise with the DPA.
The simplest way to boil down GDPR is to understand it's all about people having a right to know what data you have of theirs and where it is, and then giving you permission to use that data. And that's where things get tricky on an ongoing basis if you're to remain compliant with what GDPR is today, what it might be tomorrow, and other new and existing regulations, such as the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
Compliance unearths hidden pressures on privacy
Now that GDPR is full effect, you're seeing the downstream effects of staying compliant. You're seeing your business processes in a new light and fully realizing you need be ready for the long haul.
And beyond the initial compliance requirements you've already met, you may be discovering several other ramifications of the legislation:
Risky travel: Not only does GDPR require that you know where your data is stored, but how it gets there. Even if it's virtually instantaneous, transmission of data isn't always direct, and one of the quick stops could put it an "unfriendly jurisdiction" and for a nanosecond, it's at greater risk.
Siloed applications: Deleting a file is straightforward in theory, but in practice, there could be multiple instances if business units operate in their own siloes. The result is duplicate records within the organization.
More data than you need: Today it's become standard practice to gather as much information about your customers as possible. But once you have it, you're responsible for keeping it safe. You may want to rethink what data you actually collect.
Sudden scrutiny: GDPR isn't a reporting regime. You didn't have to report by the deadline that you were in compliance. However, should you have a data breach, it may not only result in litigation, but it could lead to a complete audit by the DPA.
Not just customers: You're not just required to protect the data of customers who are European citizens. They could also be employees, patients, charitable donors, taxpayers, investors and stakeholders, among others.
This is just a handful of the nooks and crannies affected by GDPR—the legislation seeps into every business process. Privacy as the new normal means creating an entire culture shift within your organization so that every employee contributes to a state of readiness for GDPR today, two years from now, and for any other regulations that may arise.

P0141 O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 2 - eh?
It had to happen. Something has finally gone "wrong" on the IS300. The engine malfunction light is on and the above code is displayed. I can clear it but it returns after a mile or two/ten minutes or so. The car was absolutely fine yesterday other than my wife had let the tank run extremely low. It still drives normally but the light is on.
I've had a look around the site and this code does get plenty of mentions but none of it makes much sense to me. So what is it and how do I fix it it? Or to be more precise, what is it and what do I need to say to someone with more expertise than me and avoid sounding like an idiot?
Is this a fairly specific fault or one of those codes you spend six frustrating months chasing? I've owned Volvos.
Hi Rich, I had this on my previous IS200, I will start by saying this was a nightmare for me. I changed the O2 sensor on the manifold in the engine bay, the one nearest the front of the engine. This didnt resove it. I then changed the cat converter under the floor, this didnt solve it.
For me it was a simple case of i had just done an oil change but used Castrol magnatec grade C3, which was not burning right. I done another oil change and used magnatec A5 which i have always run my car on and this sorted the problem. Have you just had an oil change done?
If you havent, then best advice i could give is start cheapest option first. Take out the O2 sensor and check the condition of it. Is there any discolouration to it? Grey/white? I think the part number for the one i changed was DOX-0205.
Ideally you need to check if the O2 sensor is doing its job by getting a read out of the O2 sensors fluctuation. I cant advise what is correct here but a garage with the OBD computer could tell you.
But using the wrong grade of oil was the cause of my problem. There is a post on here somewhere, when i had the same issue.
As I said, it was very low on fuel Sunday before I filled up and the handbook does mention that light may come on if you run out completely. After filling up we had a little drive and then nothing until she was leaving work last night.
I cleared the code again last night and made it nearly into the office this morning before it popped up again.
Another pertinent question would be am I doing any harm driving the car with this fault?
As I understand it ( but I may be wrong ) the engine in your car is the same straight 6 that is in the GS300.
Thank you Paul and Dean but I (sort of) owe you an apology.
So basically I couldn't really care less how much the sensor is (£174 plus VAT) or how long it will take to fix.
That said, I will keep you posted for the benefit of anyone having the same problem in the future. They're also on back order from Japan.
I got the call this morning from Lexus Sheffield to say the part had arrived from Japan. They're fitting it this afternoon.
Here's a question for the more technically minded.
Could these sensors start to fail or do they just fail? Is it possible that there's a slow deterioration in performance due to a failing sensor then one day it goes and bingo, the light comes on?
I ask because Lexus Sheffield did the job in a couple of hours this afternoon (1h55min for the engine to cool down, 5min to change the sensor) and the car was noticeably perkier especially from standstill. What I've been putting down to a bit of play in the throttle seems to have disappeared.
The heater part of the sensor just fail, the element burns out and instantly becomes a hard fault.
O2 sensor itself start to become slow to react which effects performance and economy. Even before they generate a fault you can benefit from them being changed.
Interesting. So I might not be just imagining it? I've been promising myself for months that I'd do the throttle mod as described here and on the US forums but I really don't think I need too. Could have been this sensor all along.
Anyway, I'm driving it again to today. I'll see if it has actually improved things.
This sounds remarkably familiar since by 03 reg IS300 had the engine light come on a month or 2 ago and I borrowed a friends OBD2 to see that it was O2 bank1 sensor2 at fault. We reset it but it came back on the next day. I've since had a bunch of expensive work done by the main dealer to fix other problems (caliper, pad, disc etc) but they had to wait for the sensor to come in stock. It's now come in stock but it was about £250 all in which I found too expensive. I've since gone to local recommended garages (Bristol/Bath) and the only quote I've got back was about £280 which shocked me. If it is indeed the sensor just off the side of the engine then it is very accessible and I'd be tempted to change it myself if I had the right tools. I've definitely not just changed my oil!
However I'm unsure if a sensor change will fix it since another issue I've had is a slight rattling (particularly when idle in drive) over a year or so that noone has diagnosed but now the local garages suggested since this sensor is related to the CAT that it may be the CAT that is rattling. This kinda scares my wallet a bit but it would be nice to sort it.
Not sure about the problem or connection with the cat but changing the sensor did the trick for me. If you're having the work done at the dealer that price sounds about right too. IIRC the sensor was north of £150 plus labour plus VAT. It wouldn't be massively cheaper at an independent.
Something I have noticed though. Before remembering the warranty (doh!) I approached this in the same way I did with European cars I've owned previously. Engine management light, vague code, feeling of dread that this will involve throwing parts at the car until by chance it's fixed. I've had Volvos of the same age that have cost £££ in "it could be this" parts. However, more or less from the start on here, at Lexus and from other sources the response has been the same. It's this part you need. Very specific and a refreshing change.
Hiya mate, when I was going through this problem and had a new cat fitted, mine cost me £400. Are they having a F**king joke, £900 to replace the heat shield, WTF!!!! its held on by 4 bolts. Source one from scrap yard and fit it yourself.
£280 for a sensor, yeah right, I paid either £60 or £90 for the sensor think the part number is DOX-0205 which the denso OE part number, you havent got to have the removal tool, i dont mine with a pair of mold grips / mole grips what ever their called, and used WD40 around the thread. Unscrew the sensor and screw new one in.
Yeah the £900 odd was for the front exhaust system and possibly heatshield fitted. But 1 that's a lot for just front exhaust 2 it might not even be the cause. I mean the rattle doesn't even sound the same since it was in for the other work so poking around he obviously changed something already!


Selling online can be an extremely competitive experience, with relatively low costs of entry for new competitors and ways for savvy consumers to check pricing and features with the click of a mouse.
Price – Are you the lowest priced option? Are you a luxury or premium product?
Product – Are your product features what consumers are looking for?
Placement – Are you featuring your best selling or highest margin products in the right places on your site?
Promotion – Does your ECommerce system easily allow you to create the right promotions and track them?
Applying these principles on the web by creating the right interface requires knowledge and experience. In such a competitive environment, most sites don't get a second chance to make a first impression.
The technology behind your ECommerce platform also needs to perform well. If ordering is confusing or cumbersome to your potential customers, they will go elsewhere.
Did you know that integrating email marketing into your ECommerce platform can help you follow up on sales and potentially upsell or create future sales from each sale made on your site? It is all part of The Loop.
