By Celtic Folk Punk On 7:55 PM In 5 Reviews, 8 New Albums, Celtic Punk, Circle J, The Netherlands With No comments
Circle J "Diggers" Self-released CJ03 (2012)
Release date: February 2012
We were waiting for a new Circle J release in 2012, since their second album "Weekend Warriors" was released two years ago. This time they have decided to record a new EP, "Diggers". Five tracks that will make happy to their growing fanbase.
I must admit that I love most of the tracks, but I get a strange feeling, like missing something. When I think of Circle J, the following things come to my mind: a crazy singer, fast-paced songs and an amazing banjo sound. Does "Diggers" feature those elements? Sure. For instance, the last number "Sunday Mornings", on which the Circle J stamp is as good as ever. Or the opening track, "The Legend of Robert Morgan", another great song with tin whistle instead of pipes (even if I feel that this song should have been played a little bit faster). And our Dutch folk punk heroes have also recorded a great rendition of "La Ronde des Milloraines" (just listen to that top-notch flute on this tune!!!!)
What about the other tracks? "Like the Weather" is a ballad featuring pipes with a more "country" sound. Not my fave, but it's OK. And "Diggers", a good Great Big Sea infused song with a sort of a tribute to The Pogues (the chorus is similar to a song included on their debut album and the instrumental part after the second chorus is also influenced by their third album).
So, why am I still wondering that something is missing? It could be something irrational. Perhaps the fact that the EP is too short and I wanted more. Maybe because their previous albums were fucking good, I was expecting their masterpiece and then I'm not able to evaluate the EP objectively. Or the fact that they have moved to a different studio, Mailmen instead of SDA, and have chosen a new co-producer, Martin Groeneveld instead of Theo Vogelaars (maybe my brain have detected a slight change of sound). Who knows? Anyway, one thing is sure: the EP is worth buying, there are awesome songs, enough passion and a wonderful packaging.
I must be a Circle J addict and the dose was too short …
01 - The Legend of Robert Morgan
02 - Diggers
03 - Like the Weather
04 - La Ronde des Milloraines
05 - Sunday Mornings

Macy's Stock Slumps As It Cautions On Holiday Quarter Spending
Macy's (M) – Get Free Report shares slumped lower Monday after the retailer cautioned that its fourth quarter sales are likely to come in at the lower end of previous forecasts, while noting that consumers are likely to remained pressured heading into the first half of the year.
In a late Friday investor update ahead of a weekend industry conference in Orlando, Macy's CEO Jeff Gennette said lulls in non-peak holidays sales were "deeper than anticipated", even as Black Friday and Christmas week activity were either in-line or ahead of forecasts.
Macy's unveiled plans in October to hire more than 40,000 seasonal workers to handle its holiday shopping workflow, a notable decline from the near 80,000 it brought on board last year — including permanent staff — suggesting muted expectations for the January quarter.
Mastercard's 'SpendingPulse' report indicated last week that holiday spending rose 7.6% from last year heading into the final days before Christmas, with a 10.6% rise in online activity and a 6.8% increase in brick-and-mortar sales.
Macy's said sees fourth quarter earnings hitting its previous forecast of $1.47 to $1.67 per share, with sales at the lower end of its $$8,161 million to $8,401 million range.
"Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales were in line with our expectations, while the week leading up to and following Christmas were ahead. However, the lulls of the non-peak holiday weeks were deeper than anticipated," Gennette said in a statement. "Overall, our occasion apparel and gift-giving business were strengths and inventory composition and price points aligned with customers' needs."
"Based on current macro-economic indicators and our proprietary credit card data, we believe the consumer will continue to be pressured in 2023, particularly in the first half, and have planned inventory mix and depth of initial buys accordingly," he added.
Macy's shares were marked 5.1% lower in pre-market trading Monday to indicate an opening bell price of $21.01 each.

Pack up the bulk of large, personal collections, so that buyers don't get so interested in looking at them that they forget to look at the house.
Remove area rugs if they expose nice hardwood floors.
Plants go hand-in-hand with nearly any home staging theme–living plants, not artificial versions.
Don't forget about curb appeal. We mentioned keeping the lawn nicely trimmed, but how about adding other elements to grab a buyer's attention before they walk in the door? The door itself can be a buyer-winner if it's adorned nicely.
Our reputation in the community is based on honest and ethical service. We believe that knowledge is power and it can only help you make better, more informed decisions. The commission paid when selling your home is a mystery to most people. For some reason, most Realtors believe people know how it works and therefore see no need in explaining it. Of course, the home seller always wants the cheapest rate… so let's take a look at just what is involved in your commission.
When the home seller decides to place their home on the market, several people are involved in the process. Many of these folks work behind the scenes to assure you have a legal, efficient, and profitable sale. The Realtor is paid for time, service, and marketing expenses by an agreed upon commission percentage that is given in writing at the onset of placing the home on the market. Most sellers think the listing agent working to sell your home walks away with the full commission. This couldn't be farther from the truth!
Let's say for example, that the listing agent Realtor agrees to sell your home for x%. Immediately upon entering your home in the Multiple Listing System (MLS) the listing agent agrees to spit this commission with the Realtor that brings in a buyer. This Realtor is the 'Buying Agent'. When a buyer goes to an Realtor looking to purchase a home, that Realtor looks on the MLS and assists them with finding the right home. The Realtor also knows up front what he or she will be paid on the transaction, because it is listed in the MLS from day one.
The Broker or Brokerage the listing agent works with, then gets a 'cut of the pie' and once again the commission is split. What was originally x% commission is now just a fraction of this amount. But it doesn't end there! The agent selling (listing) your home for sale then has to pay all of the advertising expense, marketing expense, staff expense, phone, MLS, car, gas, brochures, internet… and Uncle Sam's share (just to name a few)!
In marketing your home, Meier Realty will emphasize its unique and sellable features. We then put your home in front of buyers, establishing it on the local MLS as well as broader ones, just listed cards, and syndication to 100's of online real estate sites. In addition, we'll use the Internet and our innovative website to make your listing highly visible. With more than 80% of buyers checking the web first when looking for a home, this is a part of your marketing strategy that you can't afford to miss.
We've all seen those signs around town and perhaps in our own neighborhood. If you're thinking about selling your home in the near future you might be thinking this is a great way to save some money — but is it really?
While keeping those commission dollars in your pocket instead of a REALTOR®'s is definitely tempting, not all homeowners are up to the challenge of selling their own home. Even if it's a straightforward transaction, there is plenty of legal paperwork as well as advertising and marketing challenges to take care of. For most people these three items alone are a deterrent to selling your own home. A home is a financial investment so it makes sense to use a professional REALTOR®.
Meier Realty agents know local market values, whether they are rising or falling. By attempting to sell alone, you could be vastly underpricing your home. Or maybe it is overpriced so prospective buyers will stay away. Most prospective buyers shy away from "for sale by owner" newspaper classified ads. There is a good reason more than 85 percent of home sales are handled by real estate agents. Another consideration is are you prepared to make appointments during the day or during normal business hours.

Report this essay
It was the 15th century and war was raging between British and American troops. In a small, war torn, town called Rustboro City, there lived a boy named John. John's father, Arnold, was a General in the American army and was a great man. John's mother had died when he was a little kid. Now John's father was home, but in an injured state, on the verge of death.
"Why do you do this, papa?" asked little John, who was in shock to see his father in such a wounded condition.
"John, my boy, a true man's honor is only earned through the devotion to his people, his country, and his freedom. Without this commitment one would just be a cowardly soul trapped in a frail body. John, you must take up my honor and fight for our country until the very last moment. I leave you with this mission, shall you choose to accept it."
Those were John's father's last words uttered proudly as he lay dying from his injuries from his fight for freedom. John, just an 8-year old boy took up his father's honor and made it his destiny to fight for America's freedom until his death.
John had to care and look after himself. He earned money by polishing shoes on different streets until he was old enough to enlist in the army. Never, not even once, did John beg for money from someone, he always found a way to keep himself alive honestly. Once John had been enlisted in the army he worked day in and day out to be the best soldier he could ever be. He accomplished that when he was promoted to the rank of Sergeant. John never felt the satisfaction of being a Sergeant because he only went to the war once. As a result he approached the Commander of the army and asked to be sent into the war one again.
"Sir, I have a request that I want approved," John explained.
"Anything for my best soldier," the Commander replied. "What is it that you desire?"
"I wish to be sent into battle with my fellow soldiers, so I can taste the sweet taste of victory again," John requested.
"John, I was afraid that this day was going to come. Let me just tell you, war is a horrible time that not many people wish to be part of. Yet they are dragged into this against their will. I told a similar thing to your father many years ago, but he could not be convinced to change his mind. I don't want the same happening to you someday, so I implore you not to go to this war," the Commander pleaded.
"With all due respect, sir, a wise man once told me that a true man's honor is only earned through the devotion to his people, his country, and his freedom. I am yet to earn this honor, so I must be sent into this war."
So John was drafted to New York City where the true meaning of death came to life. He saw his very own friends fall right before his eyes as they were shot by the enemies. He understood what the Commander was telling him and he realized what he needed to do. He realized that to earn true honor one should not take revenge or kill someone, they should use a gift that most people in this world have, the gift of speech.
John returned home with the intention to change the minds of the people of America. He returned home with the will to free America from the unruly bonds of the British. John started making public speeches to the Americans to get them to join the cause to end the war without violence and bloodshed.
"People of America," he said at one of his movements, "I have gathered you all today to end this war that took the lives of our loved ones, the war that destroyed our families. I am here today to declare that us Americans want to be free from the British! To all of you British officers that are listening to me right now, waiting for me to say something terrible so you can arrest me, don't you feel the least bit guilty for taking away our rights, and our freedom? If you feel even a little guilty, there is always space for you among us Americans. Everyone who is with this movement, or pledges their allegiance to America will be treated equally and fairly by all others and will treat others the way they want to be treated. So join the cause for freedom, to be one step closer to a free America!"
John continued these movements all around the Colonies until he had talked to each and every American that there was to talk to. He was also wanted by the British police for committing treason. There were also people who strongly supported his cause and they protected him from getting into harm's grasp. One day while making his speech, John was caught and arrested by the British police. They took him to the police station where he saw many other freedom fighters and many of his supporters.
"You will be judged in court tomorrow afternoon," the officer said. "You have knowingly committed treason and will spend the night here."

Young women's views of receiving information about the consequences of delayed childbearing: A qualitative study

Objective The objective of this study was to explore young women's views about receiving information on the consequences of delaying childbearing. Design The study design was qualitative, focus group (FG) discussions. Setting This study was conducted at the Sexual and Reproductive Health Clinic in Aberdeen. Participants The study participants were young women (18–25 years of age) attending the Sexual and Reproductive Health Clinic. Methods Two focus groups with a total of 14 women, semi-structured interviews conducted. Main Outcome Measures The main outcome measures were young women's perceptions of receiving information about delayed childbearing. Results A range of factors impacting on childbearing decisions were identified ranging from personal circumstances such as financial and relationship stability to broader societal and cultural expectations. Social stigma associated with having children in the early twenties was found to be an important factor preventing women from having children earlier, even if they wanted to. All participants indicated a need for greater provision of information on the reproductive consequences of delayed pregnancy enabling them to make informed decisions about motherhood. There was consensus among participants that information should be provided in secondary schools as a part of the national curriculum, to both genders, in a nonthreatening and objective way. Conclusions There is a need to provide young women with fertility information. Further research is required to determine how this information could be incorporated as part of the national curriculum, without diluting the message of teenage pregnancy.

PUTIN & XJP AFFIRM PALESTINE: Abbas praises Russian and Chinese position on Palestine
EurasiaChinaHeadline News
By Paul Antonopoulos On Jun 10, 2019
EAST JERUSALEM – Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas praised Moscow's and Beijing's position on the Palestinian problem, which is reflected in a joint statement by Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping signed after recent bilateral talks in Moscow, local media said.
Abbas said such a stance would prevent any attack on the rule of law and the Arab Peace Initiative, as well as on the historic rights of the Palestinians, according to the WAFA news agency.
Putin and Xi held talks earlier this week in Moscow. The leaders signed the joint statement that included the early resumption of negotiations on the Palestinian-Israeli issue and expressed support for the establishment of an independent and fully sovereign Palestinian state within the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The Arab Peace Initiative was proposed by Saudi Arabia and endorsed by the Arab League in 2002 and re-endorsed in 2007 and 2017.
In particular, the initiative calls for the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from disputed territories and the restoration of borders that existed prior to the 1967 Six-Day War, in return for normalization of relations with Arab countries.
According to the initiative, Israel recognizes a sovereign Palestinian state with its capital in East Jerusalem and provides a solution to the problem of Palestinian refugees and Israeli settlers.
The Israeli government refuses to recognize Palestine as an independent political and diplomatic entity and builds settlements in the occupied areas, despite objections from the United Nations.
Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Sunday that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping discussed the issue of the trade war during the Economic Forum of the East (EEF).
Petrov did not reveal details of the negotiations between the leaders and stressed that the discussions should not have their ins and outs revealed to the public. However, he emphasized that China and Russia do not ignore intentional issues of relevance due to their role in the world.
"The list of joint projects of countries like Russia and China is so great that this alone would be the subject of many hours of discussion, and of course, Russia and China can not refrain from discussing international problems. commercial," Peskov told the Russian television channel Rossiya 1, noting that these trade disputes have been destructive to economic and negative relations for resolving regional conflicts.
China is currently engaged in a trade war with the United States. Both sides of the conflict have traded a series of tariffs on imports since March this year. The month marked Donald Trump's announcement of tariffs on steel and aluminum in several countries, which triggered trade tensions with the Chinese.

The original Brisbane Valley railway line ran from Wulkuraka station in Ipswich in the south to Yarraman in the north, making Wulkuraka Station the true start or end point for every Brisbane Valley Rail Trail End-to-End adventure.
Wulkuraka station opened as Brisbane Valley Junction in the 1880s, being the junction station for the Brisbane Valley railway line from 1884 until 1989.
Wulkuraka Station is now the southern trail head of Australia's longest continuous rail trail. It starts with a concrete bikeway that provides a cycling commuter route from Wulkuraka station to Diamentina Blvd on the outskirts of Ipswich.
There are no food or accommodation options directly in the area around Wulkuraka Station, but plenty of options if you venture towards the CBD via the mapped connecting route. The first food and accommodation options on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail heading northwards are in Fernvale.
Horse riders seeking to start in Ipswich are permitted to use the concrete Brassall Bikeway section of the BVRT, but should use the grassed shoulder, only with the exception of the bridge crossings.
As Queensland's oldest provincial city, Ipswich has a rich history. It's renowned for its architectural, natural and cultural heritage. Ipswich proudly preserves and still operates from many of its historical buildings and homes, with more than 6000 heritage-listed sites.

Is This a Vintage Nancy Ann Muffie or a Vogue Ginny?
I got a phone call from my Mom the other day saying she had found a box in the basement with some other items that they had inherited from family members and in the box was a little 8″ doll. The box was from my Great Aunt who had lived in California in the 1950-1970 time-frame.
The box looks like this. It says Muffie on the top and Nancy Ann Storybook on the sides with her trademark polka dots. According to my Dad, my Great Aunt used to love dolls and would buy them and make them little outfits.
According to the box, it should contain an undressed Muffie that is a brunette with pigtails and you can even see it was purchased for $1.98 – what year, I do not know, but I am guessing the 50's or 60's.
But what the box says is not what is inside! Inside is a sweet little blonde doll who is dressed in a cream colored dress with little beaded sequins for trim. I am trying to figure out if she is a Nancy Ann Muffie or whether she is a Vogue Ginny. Both were popular doll brands at the time and it is very possible that she is a Ginny doll but is wearing Muffie's undergarments and shoes. I can not find a stamp or marking on her body – but it is possible I am missing something or there is some other clue that would help me figure out who she is.
Here she is standing up. She is a straight leg walker meaning as she "walks" her head turns side to side. At that time some of the dolls were straight leg, some straight leg walkers and others had bendable knees and were bent knee walkers.
For being 40-60 years old, this doll is in FANTASTIC condition. I am 99% sure she has been in a box for at least 40 years as my Great Aunt passed away when I was a little girl. Her bright blue eyes are sleep eyes and while they still open and close, they don't do so easily. Her wig is definitely glued on and is in amazing condition, too. Her limbs are also in fantastic condition – they are hard plastic but move with ease yet are not loose.
The only flaw I can find is a tiny little bit of discoloration under her chin where a rubber band has been for the last 40+ years. I removed the rubber band as I can not see any reason to have it on there.
She doesn't really like showing you her undies, but for identification purposes, it is important. she is wearing a cream colored undies and socks and white shoes that are soft plastic with a knob closure.
In the box was also the original catalog/pamphlet for the doll that originally came in this box. It has a cute letter to Muffie's new playmate and then it unfolds to show all the dolls available in the line at the time. I was surprised to see the variation and all the accessories, outfits and extras that were available for these little cuties back then.
The variety of outfits was adorable! Look at those cute little dresses, purses and hats! This little 8″ cutie had it all.
This is part of the back of the pamphlet that show the bridal party dolls and the special occasion dolls. The dressed bridal party dolls must have been special as they were $5.29 compared to a $1.98 undressed doll. So interesting!
1. What year is the Muffie box and the Muffie catalog from?
2. Is the doll that is in the box a Nancy Ann Muffie – and which one – or is she a Vogue Ginny – which one – or is she another brand like Hollywood or something else all together?
3. Was the outfit that is on blondie a dress made by the manufacturer or one made by my Great Aunt?
Any doll historians, history buffs or those in the know – if you have any insights, links to guides or any other clues, please leave a comment below or email me at share@dolldiaries.com. I'd love to get more information about this doll.
Secondie! I have never heard of these dolls, but I seem to rember the look.
She's a little sweetheart! I'm not sure what doll she is, Char, since I haven't heard about these before in my life, but I hope you find out!
awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Char for the next reader event can you enter the pics that i sent of kristen, samantha, natlie, and i think there is another doll and i think i sent in 3 pics i don't no!! lol!
there adorable! I wish i knew more, but sadly i don't!
Megan – when did you send them in?
My older sister had a Ginny that she passed down to me, (but I no longer have it). Does she have elastic and pins that fasten her limbs inside? I don't know if all dolls had those back then, but I know my Ginny had them. The face is the same as Ginny, (mine had brown hair). My vote is that it's a Ginny.
How adorable! So intresting! I think she's just such an adorable dollie!! You're so lucky!
Mish – thanks for the awesome resource!! She definitely looks like she could be a Ginny, Ginger or Gigi. I asked my Dad about the doll a bit more today and she has been in that box in his possession for the past 39 years. My Great Aunt gave it to him when I was 3 or 4 and told him to keep it and give it to me when I was older as she was not a "play" doll. He had basically forgotten about it all these years until my Mom found it a few weeks ago. Supposedly my Great Aunt collected the 8″ dolls and loved sewing dresses for them. She passed away about 35 years ago and we did not live near her. I am sure that Muffie and the rest of her doll collection are long gone.
It's a Nancy Ann Muffie. I checked Google images.
Pretty Irish AG – well, I'm not 100% sure. She has no markings and there were other similar dolls from the time like Ginger, Ginny, Gigi and others that she looks a lot like. Still looking for clues.
she's adorable! At my citie's museum there is a doll on display that looks like that but I'm not sure what type of doll it is.
What a delightful family heirloom to receive! No idea who she is, but what a treasure! Wish you could find some of your aunt's other dolls and/or outfits. Looks like doll collecting runs in your family!
I happen to know that if it is not marked Ginny, that it isn't a ginny doll.
When you say Ginny I think you mean the Ginny from harry potter. lol. I think that you should look her up on google images – like maybe put in doll with short blonde hair blue eyes antique. See what comes up. and Good Luck!!!

This week, Chris Riddell is leading a campaign to protect school libraries. But also the librarians within them. For a room full of books can't provide the accessibility to reading without a guiding hand, a guiding voice.
In the primary school library I read books with the children, and to the children. And they read books to me. But I also spend a good deal of time talking about books with the children, and encouraging them to talk to each other about books. My library isn't very hush hush. What do they want to read? What have they read? What do we collectively, and individually, think about certain books? Which authors do we dream of meeting? What sort of writer do we dream of being?
Talking about books gives them an importance, but it also grounds them. It gives them a place in the everyday bustle of life.
As a parent, my children arrive home with their school reading books, and I'm instructed to ask them questions about the text. To form a sort of oral comprehension. It's not always easy – we're not always excited about the 'set' texts they are given. But we use it as a tool to decipher how much they understand of what they're reading. Do they understand the inference? What is the author implying? What's going to happen next? What's surprising? What's funny? And then we can apply these tools to the books they read for pleasure.
Why doesn't the Gruffalo eat the mouse? Why does Paddington prefer marmalade while Pooh prefers honey? Why did Bill Sykes kill Nancy? How upsetting is the fact the tiger never comes to tea again?
And it is important to check that they're not just sounding out the words, that they actually comprehend what they've read. I can read the terms and conditions of my mortgage easily, but it doesn't mean I've taken in and processed what the information is telling me. (Please don't set me a comprehension on this).
If we go even deeper, we can see what subtleties the author has slipped into the text. And it's only by talking about them that we can reveal them to each other. Some children won't get the allusions to fairy tales in books we read because they don't have that cultural heritage at home. In the same way as I might completely miss allusions to Star Trek in a television programme or comedy because I've never seen it. It doesn't mean I won't enjoy the new story, it just means I won't have the full richness of the experience. It's hard to appreciate even the title of The Wolf Who Cried Boy unless you know of the original story.
In fact it's sometimes only in talking out loud about the book that a richness emerges from the text. Very few children will pick up on the allusion to The Tempest in Katherine Rundell's beautiful children's story, Rooftoppers, but in mentioning it to them when discussing the book, you can lend a wealth to their experience – kudos to the eleven year old who can talk about having read a book that references Shakespeare. Indeed, children often want that richness of experience. Think about what they ask when they meet a 'real live' author. 'Where do you get your ideas from?' Is one of the commonest questions – yes because they want to know if they can do the same, but also because they want a deeper understanding of the author's work. 'What is your favourite book?' is another often asked question. Reading leads to reading.
Even adults do this. When readers attend literary festivals or bookclubs they want to know from the author more detail about the book they loved – they want it talked about for a richness of experience. We do this with many narratives. Who hasn't watched a box set and then wanted to discuss the unfolding events?
There is a great deal adults can do to enliven a child's reading experience when talking about books. Applying them to everyday life can be fun, and make the book more tangible.
Compare books they've read. Invite an extra imaginary character to tea.
As they get older the fun's still there. We might not discuss what Elmer would do, but we do discuss if Jessie Wallace has the right amount of swearing in Out of Shadows. We try and pinpoint which house in the street looks most like how we imagine Boo Radley's house.
It can also be a really good way of addressing difficult topics using hypotheticals. When one youngster was reading the Casson family books by Hilary McKay, it was a great way to discuss the sadness of divorce and shifting family relationships by referring to made-up people, rather than addressing it directly. This can be helpful for a child to see that difficult things happen to others, as well as a way of talking about it obscurely. It's like confronting a teenager about a tricky issue and not making eye contact all the time so that they don't feel as if they're being directly scrutinised.
Talking gives them confidence, and instills in them the idea that their opinion is worth listening to. One of the best experiences in the school library is overhearing the children discuss books amongst themselves, recommending books to each other or pouring over a page together – often with non-fiction they will excitedly read out facts to each other, they will read jokes to each other from the joke books – sometimes laughing, sometimes groaning, and more often than not, supplying the answer because they already know the joke!
But you don't need to be in a library to talk about books. You can even do it in front of the TV.

The Definitive Verse: Launching Nomanul Haq's Kulliyat-e Faiz
By Hassan NaqviFebruary 28, 2020Interdisciplinary Development Research and Action Center
28/Feb/20205:00 pm - 6:30 pm
The Kulliyāt-e Faiz embodies a critical edition of the entire published poetic works of Faiz Ahmad Faiz. Complied, annotated, and edited by Syed Nomanul Haq, this over 700-page volume establishes for the first time the definitive text of Faiz's verse, collating all extant editions, and minutely noting all textual variations in the critical apparatus. Fully annotated with a first-line index, as well as specifications of the place and date of poems wherever these data are available, this critical edition also standardizes the text. Each poem and every single line of its verses have been given a fixed numerical identification; citing Faiz has consequently been rendered globally uniform in scholarly writings. In many ways this book marks a unique event in the history of Urdu poetry since we do not have full-scale critical editions even of giants like Mir Taqi Mir and Ghalib.
Dr. Syed Nomanul Haq is the founder Dean of School of Liberal Arts at the University of Management and Technology, Lahore and Visiting Distinguished Professor of Comparative Liberal Studies at Habib University. He serves as Chairman of the standing HEC Panel on the Arts and Humanities and continues as Visiting Scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. A consulting editor of Brill's Journal of South Asian Intellectual History, Dr. Nomanul Haq remained a senior faculty member at IBA and LUMS for several years.

The 5 Best Hardboiled Detective Novels
For nearly two hundred years, the private detective has been a literary archetype of manliness.
Edgar Allen Poe invented the literary detective with his character Auguste Dupin. Sherlock Holmes is perhaps the most famous of literary sleuths. (You can find the 10 best Holmesian stories here). These detectives, and other private investigators of the 19th and early 20th centuries, showcased keen observation and sharp analytical deduction. You rarely saw them get into physical altercations. They were heroes because they were brilliant.
But in the 1930s and through the 1950s, a new type of private eye started popping up in American literature. These detectives were smart, but they were also physically and emotionally tough. If they needed to, they'd resort to violence. They also did their best to develop a kind of mental armor to protect themselves from the sleaze they encountered because of their work. This resulted in their having a cynical and detached view of life.
These detectives had to become "hardboiled."
Dashiell Hammett is credited with creating the hardboiled detective with the character of Sam Spade. Raymond Chandler added his spin to the archetype by introducing the world to Philip Marlowe.
What all hardboiled detectives have in common is that they're outsiders. They work to solve crimes, but do it because they're hired to perform a job. They're not officers of the law, though criminals often see them that way. They're mercenaries. Renegades. Liminal characters stuck between two worlds. Consequently, the hardboiled detective often doesn't have a given code of ethics to follow. He has to develop his own and fight like hell to stick to it.
For the last couple years, I've been reading and enjoying numerous works from the hardboiled detective genre. While these books are known as pulp fiction, and they are indeed engaging, non-overly-high-brow reads, there are also deeper existential currents going on under the hood. So you can read them as gritty page-turners, and also as musings on how to make your way in a chaotic, crooked world.
Below I share five of my favorites; if you're looking to dive into the genre, they're all can't-go-wrong starting places.
The Difference Between Hardboiled and Noir
Genres are funny things. They can cause a lot of debate among fans. The world of detective novels isn't immune from that dynamic.
Hardboiled and noir are often used interchangeably to describe the same type of book. While hardboiled and noir novels do share similar characteristics (an unflinching look at violence against a backdrop of human depravity), many aficionados make a distinction between the two. The best description of that distinction that I've encountered comes from noir author Megan Abbott:
"The common argument is that hardboiled novels are an extension of the Wild West and pioneer narratives of the 19th century. The wilderness becomes the city, and the hero is usually a somewhat fallen character, a detective or a cop. At the end, everything is a mess, people have died, but the hero has done the right thing or close to it, and order has, to a certain extent, been restored. . . .
Noir is different. In noir, everyone is fallen, and right and wrong are not clearly defined and maybe not even attainable."
I've read my fair share of noir novels, and I'll do a post highlighting my favorites within that genre in the future. For this article, I'll just be focusing on hardboiled detective novels.
The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett
Dashiell Hammett created the pattern for the hardboiled detective with Sam Spade. Underneath Spade's hardened and cynical facade lies a profound idealism — a commitment to live by his own code of ethics.
The Maltese Falcon begins with Spade's long-time partner getting killed and the police fingering Spade as the primary suspect. Spade has to juggle proving his innocence while trying to hunt down a valuable statue of a

Five Things You Need to Know About the New Ford Bronco
"It is not the critic who counts."
If this line from Theodore Roosevelt's famous "Man in the Arena" speech is taken to mean that the individual who takes action has far greater worth than he who merely casts stones from the sidelines, then it can be adopted as an unassailable truth.
If, however, it's taken to mean you should never listen to your critics, then it's a mantra that cannot be universally applied.
T.R., after all, was a critic himself, and when he called individuals "fragrant man swine," "little emasculated masses of inanity," and "beings who belong to the cult of non-virility" — you can bet he wanted to be listened to (and probably should have been).
While adopting a blanket "f**k the haters" mindset may anesthetize the pain of receiving negative feedback, it comes at the cost of two key things:
First, you surrender a potentially helpful perspective.
We'd all do well to heed our inner voice and scorecard over that of the crowd. But we can lose track of that voice or allow ego to convince us we're doing a better job than we are, and it can take an external observer to point that out.
Second, you forfeit — at least if you apply the "never listen to critics" standard with integrity/consistency — the right to be heard yourself.
Because if people shouldn't listen to anyone else's opinions, they shouldn't listen to yours, either.
Little credit belongs to the masses of heckling, grandstand-riding spectators, who nine times out of ten, have nothing valuable to say. But to avoid developing what Teddy called "a mind that functions at six guinea-pig power," it's wise to recognize that sometimes the critic can count: when he's someone you respect; when he's someone who also has skin in the game; when he's someone who's got, well, a point.
The post Sunday Firesides: Sometimes, the Critic Counts appeared first on The Art of Manliness.
It's been freaking hot around the world this summer. Here in Oklahoma we've had more than a dozen days in July alone with temperatures over 100 degrees.
The chances of suffering a heat-related illness like heat exhaustion and heat stroke go up during extreme heat. According to the CDC, between 2004 and 2018, an average of 702 people died annually from heat-related causes, and thousands more ended up in the hospital. Small children and adults over 65 are most susceptible to heat-related illness. However, it can hit anyone who works or exercises vigorously in the heat. In fact, heat stroke is one of the three most common killers of soldiers and athletes in training.
Below we share how to recognize heat exhaustion and heat stroke and what to do to treat both conditions.
How to Recognize & Treat Heat Exhaustion
Heat Exhaustion Symptoms
Heat exhaustion occurs when your body can no longer cool itself down through sweating due to a loss of water and electrolytes. Heat exhaustion needs to be treated as soon as you recognize it in yourself or others. Left untreated, it can develop into its more severe sibling: heat stroke.
Symptoms of heat exhaustion include:
Heavy sweatingCold, pale, and clammy skinFast, weak pulseNausea or vomitingMuscle crampsTiredness or weaknessDizzinessHeadacheBrief fainting (passing out)
How to Treat Heat Exhaustion
The goal of treating heat exhaustion is to cool the sufferer down and restore their fluids.
Move to a cool room. If you don't have access to an air-conditioned room, at least move to a shady spot.Take a cold shower or bath. If that's not possible, drape (do not tightly wrap — this will trap heat) cool, wet towels/cloths on the body. Turn a fan on these towels if you can. Remove extra clothing.Sip cool fluids, like water and Gatorade.
If heat exhaustion symptoms continue for an hour despite your treatment, seek professional medical assistance.
Heat Stroke Symptoms
Heat stroke is the most serious of heat-related illnesses. With heat stroke, the body has lost its ability to cool itself down, resulting in a dangerously high internal body temperature (above 104 degrees Fahrenheit). High internal body temperature is potentially life-threatening as it can cause seizures, organ failure, and rhabdomyolysis. Even if you recover from heat stroke, you can still suffer long-term damage to your heart, brain (creating cognitive deficiencies), kidneys (requiring lifelong dialysis or a transplant), and liver (also requiring a transplant). Heat stroke victims often die months after they've "recovered."
To guide me on the intricacies of identifying and treating heat stroke, I talked to Dr. Sean Langan, a research assistant at the Korey Stringer Institute at the University of Connecticut. The Korey Stringer Institute specializes in research in preventing heat stroke deaths among athletes.
Heat stroke symptoms include:
Central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction:ConfusionAggression/agitation (Dr. Langan says you frequently see heat stroke victims bite and punch people)DizzinessFaintingSeizuresVery high body temperature (104 degrees F or higher)Red, hot, dry skin (no sweating). Sean notes that you rarely see dry skin in people with exertional heat stroke (caused by exercising or working in the heat). Those exerting themselves in the heat may still be sweaty, and you'll need to be on the lookout for other symptoms, particularly CNS dysfunction.Throbbing headacheNausea/vomitingRapid breathingRapid pulse
According to Dr. Langan, the critical heat stroke symptom to be on the lookout for is CNS dysfunction:
You can have really fit people who have an internal body temperature of 104 degrees Fahrenheit at the end of a marathon who are fine. Their body is adapted to having that high of an internal temp so they don't have any CNS dysfunction and they cool down quickly after they finish their race.
You can also have someone who has an internal body temperature of 103, but they're experiencing CNS dysfunction. This person has heat stroke and needs to be treated.
If you see someone who's been in the heat who's showing signs of CNS dysfunction, your best bet is to start treating that person for heat stroke. To confirm, take their temperature with a rectal thermometer (it will give you the most accurate reading)
As men, we all want to be physically capable. We want to be able to save our own life in two ways: in the more metaphorical sense of wanting to preserve it in healthy, fit form for as long as possible, and in the more literal sense of being able to make it through an emergency unscathed. How do you know if you do possess that kind of lifesaving physical capability?
It's time to do more than wonder, and really check in with yourself. My guest today has some helpful benchmarks that guys from age 8 to 80 can use to see if they've got an operative level of strength, mobility, and conditioning. His name is Dan John, and he's a strength coach and the author of numerous books and articles on health and fitness. Dan walks us through the fitness standards the average male should be able to meet from childhood to old age, beginning with the assessments he gives to those who are 55 years old and older, which includes carrying their body weight, a long jump, and something called "the toilet test." We then reach back to childhood, and Dan discusses the physical skills kids should become adept in, which were inspired by a turn-of-the-20th-century physical culturist who thought every individual ought to be able to save his own life, and which can be broken down into the categories of pursuit, escape, and attack. We end our conversation with the physical standards those in the 18-55 range should be able to meet, including how much a man should be able to bench press, squat, and deadlift, and the walking test that's an excellent assessment of your cardiovascular conditioning.

World War Two is a broad term including scores of conflicts with different starting and finishing dates. To most Chinese, World War Two started with the Marco Polo Bridge incident on July 7th,1937 that marked the beginning of official Chinese resistance, the start of Sino-Japanese War, an important component of World War Two.
The visit to the Marco Polo Bridge 16 km in the outside of Beijing adds some dimension to locate your information on the war. The Tunnel Warfare site in Jiaozhanghu in Shunyi district 40 km in northeast of Beijing helps you see the war from another perspective.
Pick up from your hotel by our English speaking tour guide around 9:00:am. Take a private vehicle for the Tunnel Warfare Site at Jiaozhuanghu Village in Shunyi District, some 40 km northeast of the downtown Beijing. The Tunnel Warfare Memorial Hall is divided into two sections: the exhibition hall and the original tunnel site.
In the exhibition hall, there are lots of pictures and artifacts on show depicting that period. Behind the hall is the real tunnel for your exploration and experience. The renovated tunnel open to the public is about 800 meters long. Inside the tunnel, you can find individual blindages, headquarters, meeting rooms, numerous hidden gun holes, warehouses etc. The holes and entrances usually are out of your expectation, hidden under a straw mat inside a house, down a well, the kangs, kitchen ranges, hogpens, donkey slots, wardrobes etc. This allowed flexible movement or exit. During the Anti-Japanese war starting from the year 1937, the Chinese Communist forces or local peasant guerrilla forces used successfully the tunnel war tactics against the Japanese (and later Kuomingtang during Chinese Liberation War from 1945 to 1949 ).
After lunch, then head to the Marco Polo Bridge ( Lugou Qiao - Marco Polo Bridge ). It is located in the ancient town - Wanping. It is one of earliest stone arch bridges, about 16 km in the outside of Beijing. On July 7th, 1937, the bridge entered China's history when the Japanese Kwantung Army began its war to conquer China. On that day Japanese troops illegally took up a railway junction near Wanping and the fighting started. It is later known as the "Marco Polo Bridge Incident". This is regarded by many historians to be the date when the war between China and Japan started.
During the 8 years, Japan occupied most of China and killed millions of Chinese. The war ended with the end of WWII. If time permitted, you will be arranged to visit the Chinese Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall next to the bridge. The Anti-Japanese Aggression War Memorial Hall has an area of 23,780 square meters with its total construction acreage of 10,190 square meters. The two east and west halls exhibit numerous historic cultural relics, treasure documents and photos of the whole national resistance against the Japanese aggression army under the guideline of China Communist Party's "National United Front to Anti-Japanese Aggression" principle.
By the way, the the Marco Polo Bridge itself is worth seeing. The bridge is 260 meters long and has 250 marble bars supporting 485 carved stone lions. it was first built in 1192, one of the few cultural relics left from Liao Dynasty. In 1751, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) personally wrote the poetic titles for the 8 views in Beijing, including the "Lugou Xiaoyue" tablet carved with his words which still stands by the bridge. The bridge has been there for 800 years.
Your whole day tour finishes and you will be transferred to your hotel in Beijing.

Giro d'Italia organiser RCS Sport has announced the four wildcard invitations for this year's race, with Bardiani-CSF, Southeast-Venezuela, Nippo-Vini Fantini and Gazprom-Rusvelo all getting the golden ticket for the corsa rosa, but there is no place for Androni Giocattoli team. The 18 WorldTour teams are automatically invited, meaning a total of 22 teams and 198 riders will ride the 2016 Giro d'Italia.

Analysis: The Giro d'Italia wild card teams for 2016
The Cofidis team of Nacer Bouhanni and the Bora-Argon 18 squad of Irish sprinter Sam Bennett are among the seven wildcards invited to Milan-San Remo in 2016, while Caja Rural-RGA and CCC-Sprandi Polkowice are among the five invited to Tirreno-Adriatico.
RCS Sport said wild cards for the end of season Il Lombardia race will be announced later in the year after evaluating the performances of the teams requesting a place in the final WorldTour races of the season.
The absence of Androni from the Giro d'Italia means that it will be the first time that Gianni Savio's team has missed out on an invitation since 2007, while the inclusion of Gazprom-Rusvelo marks a major surprise.
While at least one non-Italian wildcard invitation had been anticipated, Dutch outfit Team Roompot had seemed the most likely given that the race will start in the Netherlands this year. The 2016 Giro gets underway in Apeldoorn on May 6 and finishes in Turin on May 29.
Southeast earned its selection by right after winning the Coppa Italia teams classification in 2015, and it appears that the presence of Damiano Cunego at Nippo-Vini Fantini and Bardiani-CSF's strong showing and young Italian roster were enough to secure their invitations. Although Androni Giocattoli has the consolation of wildcard invitations to Milan-San Remo and Tirreno-Adriatico, the team has been overlooked for its most important race of the season.
"In this year's selections, in particular those for the Giro d'Italia, we wanted to give space to our national movement, but that doesn't need to be the only factor that we are obliged to consider," Giro race director Mauro Vegni said of the decision to invite Gazprom-Rusvelo. "The international development of all our races remains one of the cornerstones of our strategy and guided us in the final choice of the wild cards."
The Gazprom-Rusvelo roster is made up entirely of Russian riders and the biggest of the team's 16 victories in 2016 came when Ivan Savitsky claimed a stage victory at the Tour of Qinghai Lake. The squad is managed by Renat Khamidouline.
"It is a great honor for the whole team" Khamidulin, said. "But this is also a great responsibility. We represent a single nationality team and this participation is an opportunity at the highest level. It will be very nice debut on Italian roads, in the country considered the heart of cycling. We'd like to thank RCS Sport for their trust in our team and we thank our sponsors for their support too. This is a great incentive to do well in the coming months."
Rusvelo temporarily suspended itself from competition in 2013 in accordance with Movement for Credible Cycling rules following a spate of positive tests on the team. Petr Ignatenko's positive test for human growth hormone last season was the squad's fifth positive test in a little over two years.
The Androni Giocattoli team has not been without its own doping problems, however. The team was the first to be suspended by the UCI for doping offences in 2015, when it sat out racing for 30 days in August following the positive tests of Fabio Taborre, for FG-4592, and Davide Apollonio, for EPO.
In 2015, with just 17 teams in the WorldTour, RCS Sport had the luxury of inviting five wildcards and was able to include all four Italian Pro Continental squads alongside the CCC-Sprandi Polkowice outfit.
Giro d'Italia wildcards: Bardiani-CSF, Southeast, Nippo-Vini Fantini, Gazprom-Rusvelo
Milan-San Remo wildcards: Bardiani-CSF, Southeast, Androni Giocattoli, Cofidis, Bora-Argon 18, Cofidis, Team Novo Nordisk.
Tirreno-Adriatico wildcards: Androni Giocattoli, Bardiani-CSF, Bora-Argon 18, Caja Rural-RGA Seguros, CCC Sprandi Polkowice

Update on the trial of comrades Tzifkas, Tsilianidis, Dimtsiadis and Fessas.- Athens – Greece
November 23, 2012 by actforfreedom | 0 comments
Translated by Act for freedom now/boubourAs
Athens, 23/11/2012, The comrades trial Began today on the 4th floor of the Appeals court on Loukareos.
Dimitris Fessas was present at the court with Haris Ladis and Maria Daliani as his advocates, while the other three comrades chose not to participate in the procedure (link.in Greek https://athens.indymedia.org/local/webcast/uploads/diki.pdf) soon in english…..), authorizing advocate Olga Vlondsou.
The first witness called, was the cop of the antiterrorist force Giorgos Marinopoulos, who all during his testimony was very brief and contradicted himself a lot (he mentioned that he didnt know who was the officer in charge of the operation in which he participated and declared his unawareness to most of the questions he was asked, confirming he himself that "the next witness will tell it better").
Then appeared the next witness, cop Eleftherios Hardalias, who was in charge of the operation of the antiterrorist force. Hardalias seemed to be well informed since he stated that he knew everything at any moment and was present at the operation "as much as a human organism can take in 24 hours".
Also in order to substantiate the charges he invoked other cases of anarchists, in which he also participated, presenting a standard, -to him-, tactic of domestic "terrorism".
Finally the cop-witness, often avoided answers with the excuse that "we cannot reveal operational methods". As for the judges, the chairwoman interrupted the advocates repeatedly (repeating the phrase "lets get over with this"), while the prosecutor covered the gaps of the cops and gave many answers for the witnesses themselves.
The trial was adjourned until December 5th.
LETS NOT LEAVE ANY COMRADE ALONE IN THE HANDS OF THE STATE RAGE AND CONSCIENCE

When Pep Guardiola conquered Spain and Europe with his Barcelona side a few years ago, he knew he needed to find a different way of taking his team to another level. The principles were never to be compromised, retain possession, Pass into space, not the player's feet. Move the ball, move your teammate, move the opposition. The evolution of Barca's formation from 1-4-3-3 to 1-3-4-3 (with sniffs of MWs and WMs in between) was key in the Catalan side's development as a football utopia, ensuring they progressed to an apex of performance without stagnating.
Bafana Bafana coach Stuart Baxter played a similar card this past weekend when he sprung a tactical innovative move that gave his team a different dimension with a very fluid, yet extremely conservative formation for the important encounter. He chose to surprise us with what seemed to be a hybrid of a 1-3-4-2-1 and 1-3-4-3, for the first time during the qualifiers and it proved to be a masterstroke. This dignified his motive to improve, as well as publicly stating his readiness to play conservatively to get at least a point away from home, which is what Bafana Bafana needed to ensure qualification.
Although unlike Pep, his implementation system, was not born out of a progression of success. The system was really a reflection of the coach's tactical nous and it was clearly a way to take components of previous tactics employed during the qualifiers and sewn them together.
Fortunately for both the coach and the country, the 1-3-4-2-1 worked, and an incredible performance from the team secured us a spot for this year's AFCON. But where can this formation go for Bafana in the future? Is it a permanent formation, a template that Baxter can stick to and get back to rebuilding the national team; or was it a short-term approach from the coach in trying to secure qualification?
The system does seem to be the 'trendiest formation in football right now due to the success achieved by Pep, Pochettino and Conte. Many teams have followed this trend due to the many positives a 3-4-3 can provide on the pitch. It allows the front three, the two number 10's behind the number 9 lots of creative freedom and it helps them wreak havoc. To execute this system, you need two technically proficient central midfielders with good passing range to supply the ball to the front three and prevent them from being isolated.
The central centre back is usually a ball playing defender with superb technical ability and someone who can hit long diagonal passes towards the projected wingbacks (David Luiz for Chelsea and Tyson Hlatshwayo for Bafana)?
The system is also arguably the best formation to set up your team in a counter-attacking scheme in modern football. The wing backs provide the team with aggressive width and depth and the three forwards interchange to confuse the opposition and aim to get the ball in between the lines and this was clear with Mothiba and Zwane in the past weekend.
The diagram above shows how the players are linked in the 1-3-4-3 and how the formation creates passing triangles where the player who has the ball has at least three options to pass the ball too. As mentioned before, the 1-3-4-3 aims to exploit the space in between the midfield and the defence where the two number 10s can roam where they can be difficult to be picked up. The midfielders would be too preoccupied with the two defensive midfielders and the centre backs will be picking up the striker. Therefore the 1-3-4-3 can be so effective against teams that play a variation of a four at the back formation.
Alternatively, the opposition fullbacks could try and mark the inside forwards which would then leave lots of space for the wing backs to run into. This can be very effective especially on the counter-attack. The team can create an overload down the wing and hit the opposition quickly, something Bafana did extremely well down the left with Maela on Sunday.
Defensively, the 1-3-4-3 is very effective in stopping a team playing in a 1-4-4-2. The oppositions two strikers would be picked up by the two centre backs and because there would be numerical superiority in the first line, the sweeper would be left to step into the midfield if any of the two midfielders go wide and assist the full back with the 2v1 overload. The two inside forwards can deal with the opposition central midfielders.
Dealing with the 1-4-2-3-1 would be similar instead though the sweeper would have to come out towards the number 10 while the full back covers and the left-sided centre back tuck inside; this requires the midfielder to cover for the wing back.
The 1-3-4-3 is very compact in defence and can easily become a 1-5-3-2 in the defensive scheme and allows for a lot more efficiency in transitions due to the extra man in the rest-attack. Like Chelsea under Conte, Bafana and many teams who employ this system prefer to drop deep and aiming to use the pace up front to hit teams on the counter quickly.
The weaknesses of the formation are that it can leave you extremely vulnerable defensively if the team does not work as one unit. Most of the defensive problems this formation faces are due to the number 10s not tracking back. Most creative players lack work ethic which can leave teams exposed to overloads in the centre of the pitch, which is why managers tend to use hardworking number 10s who tracks back (Pedro or Zwane) and another in the trequartista role who has little or no defensive duties (Hazard or Tau).
The biggest tactical questions are how you solve the problem when you are outnumbered by the opposition due to the two attacking midfielders not tracking back. In this situation, the three defenders are rendered useless because they are only marking one or two players. This leads to confusion as the defenders don't know whether to mark the extra midfielder or control space. The formation is also susceptible to wing overloads like the other three at the back formations. You could even argue that it is easier to create overloads against this system as there are only two defensive midfielders and they are already occupied with the opposition. The inside forwards would not track the opposing full-back which can then cause overloads on the wing. The only way to counter this is to keep the ball and push the wing-backs high up the pitch which will pin the full backs in their half and prevent them from getting forwards. Three at the back formations can be effective or destructive as dissected above; it all depends on how you use the system and the players you have. You need to have the right personnel and the players must be well drilled in their roles for three at the back formations to work, otherwise, this formation's weaknesses can be exploited easily.
I suppose we will just have to wait to see if Baxter decides to use the formation during AFCON later this year.
Amazing Amazing Amazing!!!! Top Article from a Top Coach. This is a very insightful and informative article with a great deal of detail and references to support the facts presented. This is like a extract from a thesis, I hope we will get to see more articles from Coach Rhulani.


The cutting block, blade holder, and blade of the KURZ Precise Cartilage Knife make up a functional unit with which 0.7 mm cartilage slices can be made easily, quickly and in a standardised fashion. Distance plates (0.1/0.2/0.3mm) make it possible to produce cartilage slices in thicknesses ranging from 0.1 mm to 0.7mm. The blades are particularly sturdy and contain one oval and one circular template imprinted on each blade face. The latter indicates the minimum size of graft for covering a KURZ tympanoplasty prosthesis.

Volkswagen ID.5 available to order now with a starting price of 46,515 euros
Pre-sales of the Volkswagen ID.5, automaker's first ever e-SUV coupé with long distance suitability have now got underway. The top-of-the-range electric model of the ID. family based on the modular electric drive matrix (MEB) is available in Germany from an entry-level price of 46,515 euros.
In addition to its expressive design, the ID.5 features an exclusive interior complete with all the latest Infotainment and assist systems. The ID.5 offers full connectivity and can be updated over-the-air.
"Our elegant e-SUV coupé already gives customers the new ID.Software 3.0. In concrete terms, this means that improved charging capacity and voice control ensure a high level of user comfort," says Klaus Zellmer, Member of the Board of Management of the Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand with responsibility for Sales, Marketing and After Sales. "Latest-generation assist systems demonstrate Volkswagen's software expertise:here we're taking the next step towards automated driving as part of the ACCELERATE strategy."
Over-the-air updates ensure the ID.5 always stays up-to-date. The comprehensive driver assist systems with new functions are included in the optionally available Travel Assist with swarm data. This enhances driving comfort as a result of the interaction between ACC and Lane Assist, combined with navigation data and data from the cloud transmitted by other vehicles (swarm data). Local hazard alert with Car2X technology is on board as standard. Parking is now even easier, too, thanks to Park Assist Plus with memory function (optional).
Available at the pre-sales launch: the ID.5 Pro and the ID.5 Pro Performance with 128 kW (174 PS) and 150 kW (204 PS) respectively, along with the all-wheel drive ID.5 GTX with 220 kW (299 PS).
All ID.5 motor options use a large, long-distance-capable battery that can store 77 kWh of energy (net). Its central location under the passenger compartment ensures a low centre of gravity and balanced distribution of the axle load. This enables the ID.5 Pro and ID.5 Pro Performance to achieve a range of up to 520 km (WLTP) with a maximum charging power of up to 135 kW. The all-wheel drive ID.5 GTX has a range of up to 490 km (WLTP). Thanks to the peak charging power of up to 150 kW, the top model charges energy for the 100 kilometres in just 6 minutes at fast charging stations.
The novel body style and space concept highlight the innovative power of Volkswagen and its ID. family. Despite its coupé-type shape, the ID.5 has just 12 mm less headroom in the back than the Volkswagen ID.4. The long 2,766 mm wheelbase allows interior spatial conditions comparable to those of SUVs in higher vehicle classes. The luggage compartment volume is 549 litres, while the vehicle's materials and workmanship are of premium quality.
"The ID.5 offers the very best combination of premium standards with elegance and sustainability," says Klaus Zellmer. "Our first all-electric SUV coupé offers local carbon-neutral mobility and sporty performance for a demanding clientele. Our aim is to make Volkswagen the most desirable volume brand for sustainable mobility. The ID.5 is a crucial milestone and a big step along our way to ZERO."
The streamlined range structure makes it easy to order the ID.5. Customers first decide which engine and look they want; this is then followed by a clearly organised selection of packages. They can choose between optional design, Infotainment, assist, comfort and sport packages, all of which are available in both basic and "plus" variants.
With We Charge Volkswagen provides the perfect charging solution everywhere and around the clock. The ID.5 models can be charged with a power of up to 11 kW at an alternating current charging station or wall box. On the road, ID.5 models with We Charge benefit from the fastest-growing charging ecosystem which already comprises some 250,000 charging points throughout Europe. With the increased maximum DC charging capacity of up to 135 kW, the battery is able to store energy for the next 390 km in the ID.5, or 320 km in the ID.5 GTX (WLTP), in around 30 minutes at fast charging stations.
The ID.5 is a new model in the ID. family in Europe following on from the best-selling ID.3 and the global car ID.4. With this addition, Volkswagen is speeding up its electric mobility campaign under the ACCELERATE strategy. By 2030 at least 70 per cent of Volkswagen's unit sales in Europe are expected to come from all-electric vehicles.
The CO2 emissions per vehicle are set to decrease by up to 40 percent by as soon as 2030. On its "way to ZERO", the company is planning to become climate-neutral by 2050 at the latest.
The ID.5 and ID.5 GTX are manufactured at the Volkswagen plant in Zwickau and are carbon-neutral on handover to the customer. When charged using 100 per cent green energy, the vehicles are already virtually climate-neutral.

Q: Matrices with Cramer's Rule; Word Problem. Help please :( Question
A company earns before-tax profits of 100,000 dollars. It has agreed to contribute 10 percent of its after-tax profits to the Red Cross Relief Fund. It must pay a provincial tax of 5 percent of its profits (after the Red Cross donation) and a federal tax of 40 percent of its profit (after the donation and provincial taxes are paid). Use Cramer's rule to determine how much the company pays in provincial taxes, federal taxes, and Red Cross donation.
Hint
{Let C, P, and F represent the amounts of the charitable donation, provincial tax, and federal tax, respectively. Since after-tax profits are $100,000 – (P+F), therefore: C = 0.1 [100,000 – (P+F) ]. Use the other pieces of information given in this question to write two other equations, one for P and one for F. Now solve these equations simultaneously using Cramer's rule.}
