RoboTaxi - A Safe Ride Through An Unruly Landscape
Written by Lucy Black
We have grown used to seeing self-driving cars cruising around California suburbs, making all the correct moves at traffic intersections. Now see what happens when you switch the scene to a Chinese urban village, where pedestrians, bikes and carts share the same narrow thoroughfares with cars. The video shows a completely autonomous RoboTaxi in the midst of real-world mayhem.
In China, AutoX has deployed more than 100 RoboTaxis in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Wuhan, and many other cities and the company is the second permit holder for California's completely driverless RoboTaxi permit.
The AutoX self-driving platform is designed to drive a range of vehicles including RoboTrucks and RoboTaxis and claims to be capable of handling the densest and most dynamic traffic conditions in urban cities around the world.But what happens when pedestrians outnumber vehicles and no sidewalks are provided.
With headquarters in Shenzhen, China AutoX was founded in 2016 by Dr. Jianxiong Xiao (a.k.a. Professor X), a self-driving technologist from MIT and Princeton University. It proclaims itself as:
a leading tech company that develops AI drivers for autonomous driving vehicles, with the mission of 'Democratizing Autonomy' to provide universal access to transportation of people and goods.
Having tested completely driverless cars on the roads of downtown Shenzen in December 2020. AutoX opened its first fully driverless RoboTaxi pilot program to the public there in January 2021. If you want to know what the experience of being a passenger on a more typical drive is like here's the video:
As this is China, even in this second video, the traffic conditions are still far from ideal and the RoboTaxi copes perfectly without even swearing at the bad behavior of other road users.
The message is clear - while AI powered self-driving software has to take account of traffic control system's - road signs, lights at intersections, the highway code and all the other rules and regulations governing road use, no way can it rely on anyone else doing so. Even when pedestrians jump out in front of the car, the car must give way to them - and to cyclists, and to juggernauts. I can't imagine passing a driving test in a Chinese city, but for AutoX the test is real and it has to pass every single time.

This article pay's homage to the excellent article from TechCrunch about convertible notes https://techcrunch.com/2012/04/07/convertible-note-seed-financings/
The world of Venture Capital and startup culture is no longer limited to the traditional markets. In recent years, much to the dismay and irritation of many regulatory bodies in the US, we've seen a growing number of startups utilize a new method for funding their businesses: ICOs. ICOs, or "initial coin offerings," allow a company to effectively raise funds for the business after everything is up-and-running; however, there's another type of coin purchase which happens before the ICO and subsequent release of the coins—that's where SAFTs come in.
What is a "SAFT?"
Short for "Simple Agreement for Future Tokens," SAFT is a little different from an ICO. In an ICO, investors are purchasing coins from the first releases of the tokens to the public, after the team has a functioning token, but a SAFT is involved at much earlier stages. Similar to the way a lot of seed funding happens, SAFTs begin before the release, and even development, of a token or coin to the public.
Both the practice and terminology may seem familiar to many investors, and that's for good reason. If you're already familiar with YC's Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE), then you'll be able to see the similarities pretty quickly.
Unlike what happens during the ICO of company, SAFTs are used before there is even a token to offer to investors. To borrow an analogy, it's like purchasing a giftcard from a store that hasn't even opened yet.
Just like with regular startups in the tech world, many new companies developing a coin or ERC20 token need initial funding to keep the project afloat and the development continuing. When investors contribute funding to the project in a SAFT, it is understood that they will get a set amount of tokens that are to be offered in the company's ICO in return. Investors are expecting these tokens to be valuable after the ICO and then can decide to hold on to them, or exchange them after the public offering.
Investing in the Tech, Not the Company
Another key point to keep in mind is that with a SAFT, investors are not looking to invest in the company or the people specifically, but rather the underlying technology behind everything. Even if the company were to run into difficulties or fail, the tokens originally offered by the company can be still be worth something and aren't magically revoked. As odd as it is to think of, imagine a company went out of business, but their stock was still trading, and trading at a price independent of whatever investors thought about the company which no longer exists.
Now that's not to say that investors shouldn't be looking at the team behind a project. Obviously the development team, market strategist, advisors, etc. are all important metrics for measuring the likelihood of a successful launch, but the tokens can do well without those standard team members (and many do).
Decentralization is Key
By this point, "decentralized" has no doubt become a bit of a buzzword in the FinTech world, but that doesn't mean it's not important. Once a project is up and running, and the team has their tokens out to the public, there is nothing that can be done by the founders to control who gets the token and what's done with it (excluding Ripple's XRP). Early investors will continue to hold their tokens, even if the team behind the initial tokens dissolves.
Without the underlying distributed ledger technology, what's typically referred to as simply "blockchain," investors wouldn't have the tokens in the first place. The entire decentralized nature of SAFTs, and cryptocurrencies more broadly, is crucial because investors are able to invest in (and see returns on) non-profits offering tokens, government token projects, and even the potential for profit when the business is a failure.
Regulatory Concerns
Because SAFTs are so new, being introduced only this past Fall, there is very little regulation involved. Lack of regulation is not typically a bad thing for investors and VC Funds, but there are no legal repercussions for investors if the team behind a project fails to deliver on their agreement of building the platform they stated they would build.
Because the world of cryptocurrencies and investing in them is still largely the "Wild West," VC funds and other investors are often limited to their own best judgement and best practices for investments for now.
Another matter of regulation, which will be interesting to watch, will be some of the upcoming decisions made by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in regards to SAFTs and their regulatory nature. You can read the official SAFT white paper here where the argument is made for how SAFTs ought to be treated, though only time will tell how the SEC will decide to handle the situation. Right now, we're all just working through everything the best we can.
The Terms
SAFTs generally work on a discount, typically 50% but can range from 75%-10% depending on the stage of the project. The % discount can also change over time, giving early investors a bigger discount provides them with an incentive to come in with the first check.
The SAFT will also have a price which will be your token ICO price, discounted by the discount in the SAFT. Your ICO price is typically the number of tokens being distributed in the ICO divided by the target amount you want to raise.
Simple Agreement for Future Tokens are going to be playing an increasing role as we begin to see more regulation restrict the investment opportunities for small mainstreet investors. As more projects start losing their previously large source of funding from open, public pre-ICO sales, startups will be looking for newer, nontraditional ways for funding: and SAFTs provide just that.

Hello Kitty fans, here's a deal that you don't want to miss. Right now, Amazon has the Hello Kitty LED Alarm Clock for ONLY $4 Shipped. I'm picking this up to put away for next Christmas. My oldest daughter is a HUGE Hello Kitty fan. Can't pass up this GREAT BUY!


1. There are two mixtures of honey and water in which the ratio of honey and water are as 1 : 3 and 3 : 1 respectively. Two litres are drawn from first mixture and 3 litres from second mixture, are mixed to form another mixture. What is the ratio of honey and water in it?
2. Jagtap purchases 30 kg of wheat at the rate of 11.50 per kg and 20 kg of wheat at the rate of Rs. 14.25 per kg. He mixed the two and sold the mixture. Approximately at what price per kg should he sell the mixture to make 30 per cent profit?
Explanation: Given, Jagtap purchases 30 kg of wheat at the rate of 11.50 per kg and 20 kg of wheat at the rate of Rs. 14.25 per kg.
Given, he sells the mixture to make 30 per cent profit.
3. A and B are two alloys of bronze and platinum prepared by mixing metals in the ratio of 4 : 3 and 9 : 5, respectively. If equal quantities of alloys A and B are melted to form a third alloy C, then find the ratio of bronze and platinum in C.
Explanation: Let x be the quantity of each melted alloy A and B.
Explanation: Let the weight of liquid Q be w kg.
Let the amount of liquid P to be added to 9 litres of Q be x litres.
Now, according to condition given in the problem, the weight of the mixture should be equal to the weight of equal amount of water.
5. In what proportion must water be mixed with milk to gain 33 1/3 per cent by selling the mixture at the cost price?
6. A vessel is full of a mixture of spirit and water in which there is found to be 17% of spirit by measure. Ten litres are drawn off and the vessel is filled up with water. The proportion of spirit is now found to be 15 1/9%. How much does the vessel hold?
10 litres of mixture is drawn off and replaced by 10 litres of water.
Thus, the initial quantity of mixture will be 100x litres = 100 × 0.9 litres = 90 litres.
7. How much water must be added to a cask containing 40 1/2 litres of spirit worth Rs. 3.92 a litre to reduce the price to Rs. 3.24 a litre?
Consider the price at which mixture to be made be mean price i.e. 3.24 per litre.
8. In a mixture of milk and water the proportion of water by weight was 75%. If in the 60 gms mixture 15 gms. Water was added, what would be the percentage of water in the new mixture?
Explanation: Given in the question, in the mixture of milk and water the proportion of water by weight was 75%.
Initially we have taken 60 gram mixture of milk & water.
Externally we have added 15 gram water.
9. 80% milk solution is mixed with 30% milk solution to produce 45 liter of 50% milk solution. If the price of 45 liter of 50% milk solution is Rs.1,080 and the price of 30% milk solution is Rs. 20 per liter, then what is the price of 80% milk solution in the final mixture?
Explanation: Say there is X liters of 30% milk solution and remaining (45 – X) liters of 80% milk.
Volume of 80% milk in the mixture = 45 – X = 18 liters.

12h Villeneuve race review - a new high!
Well, that was a unique experience. I never, ever thought I would do loops for 12 hours. I first heard about timed races 17 years ago, and it seemed utterly, mind-numbingly nuts (stupid, fucked up actually) – and this was while I was competing in the marathon des sables, my first serious footrace after a marathon a few months earlier, only a year after starting running. The guy who told me about it was Swiss German, so I just put it down to cultural differences.
Then I realized he wasn't alone. Timed races are actually very popular in France among a certain crowd of runners. Well, they're French, right? So… Ah, but that's when the penny dropped – I'm French! Well, sort of. Longstanding family heritage, even if I've never actually lived there - apart from when I did my civil service (smoking pot, drinking rum and working in the banana industry in the French West Indies for 16 months)…
Anyway, that's not really why I decided to compete in a timed race. I realized I was actually more curious than I cared to admit when Jean-Luc Ridet, the organizer of the Ultra Tour du Léman (110-mile run around Lake Geneva) started the first time race in French-speaking Switzerland (though French-speaking, it's very much not French) in April 2016. So I volunteered, having done so at the UTL in 2014, and thought it would perfect to discover what it was all about.
It was – it felt like being at an exchangist party and not putting your keys in the bowl. I knew I had to participate in 2017 – et voilà! And what do I think about it?
Hmm. It is definitely not boring – but I'd pretty much figured it wouldn't be. I did think that the repetitious nature of it would lead to either overload or mystical epiphany – but neither occurred. But it was definitely an incredible inner journey, enriching, and unique. It feels both exhilarating and dirty, a bit like kinky sex. You feel like you've transgressed some socially acceptable barrier (when someone who's done the Tor des Géants thinks you're strange…), but it just felt so gooood.
Seriously, there's something perverse yet so gratifying about running 12h (let alone 24h, or more) in circles – something fascinating, and that answers a deeper yearning, about running a long distance without actually going anywhere – that I can't help but make analogies with sex.
Here's what I think happened. It wasn't boring, because running isn't boring, and a timed race reduces the whole event just to the running. It makes you realize that you don't always need incredible landscape to enjoy being out there pumping away. I know it helped to some degree that I enjoyed perfect weather and that the Villeneuve 6h/12h/24h race is in a beautiful location nestled in the Rhone valley between two alpine ranges, but that only takes you so far. A few hours into the event, I remember suddenly feeling like I'd fallen in love with running all over again – how did that happen? It's because there's nothing but the running. A trail run is often more like an adventure, but here all the non-running related uncertainty is gone: you need a change of clothes, more food, water, a shower, a rest? It's all there within at most the time it takes you to complete a loop. All that's left is to run – so, you're completely left to your own devices (yes, I had to slip a Pet Shop Boys reference there).
That's the inner journey part – you and your running, your reasons and objectives. But you're definitely not alone. You leap-frog with people, you chat with some – but I found much less than in "regular" races (but who defines what's normal?!) because pacing for most is quite crucial – you get to see the same volunteers round after round after round, so it's not just a 2mn thing and then goodbye, you get appreciate how much they really put in to giving a good race and get to really express that appreciation. And in this year's event, it was fantastic because one volunteer's daughter rounded up her friends to do the 6-hour timed race as a six-person relay with team whose average age was 8.5 years old! From 6 to 10, and they did it, logging more than sixty kilometers! It was amazing to see these kids running - sometimes with a parent next to them, sometimes not – next to grizzled veterans of Badwater, Spartathlon, 6-day timed races, Transgaule… And everyone enjoying themselves equally. Running democracy at its best.
Yes for sure, having dipped my toe in it, I'll be back for more. After the 12h threesome, I have to do the 24h orgy…
I actually was very tempted to do it this year, but with the GUCR only 5 weeks after, 12h was perfect to test my race pace, while 24h I'm sure would have been too much. On that front I'm thrilled. I was happy to go out last (and stay last for several hours), plodding away at my intended race pace, and stopping for 4-5mn after 10, 21, 34 rounds to simulate the checkpoints. It took me a really long time to figure out a run/walk strategy that could emulate a point-to-point race but adapted to running in circles, but I did in any case do some of that too. So all in all very good, particularly since I ran the last loops pretty much as fast as the first, and two days later I was back to training with an interval session on Tuesday and heading for a 90k week. The one disappointment was discovering that peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were not the bliss I'd expected them to be. I had been so excited – for the first time, I could make the sandwiches and put them in my drop bag, and access them easily without fear of what I would find. But no – I actually threw away the last one.
Anyway – for anyone who's ever considered a timed race but not really sure about it: do it! If you're curious about something, probably means you'll enjoy it…

Our scan is based on photogrammetry, i.e. 3D reconstruction from 2D images.
For a static object, only one camera is required.
For body and faces, to deal with the life model movements, we have developed a multi-cam rig with a synchronised triggering system. The rig is counting 80 DSLR and is driven by our electronic triggering system.
Synchronised multi-cam rig allows to freeze the time and capture the model while dancing, jumping or with instant face expression.
During a photo shooting with a life model, we can capture a large quantity of poses. The only limit is the amount of time the studio has been booked.
Photo triggering is via a remote control. We can manage it, or you can simply Do It Yourself.
At the end of the photo shooting, you select the poses that will be transformed in 3D model.
We use a photogrammetry software to generate the raw scan 3D model.
This raw scan 3D model is counting several tens of millions polygons and thus cannot be managed easily like this.
That is why we propose 3D retopology and finishing work services.
The retopology step is the creation of a simplified 3D surface, called low poly mesh, with the polygons following the natural flow of the shape curvatures.
The resulting mesh is counting a few tens of thousands polygons. Retopology is made either manually or by projecting an existing topology on the raw scan.
This simplified model is used to unwrap the model and generate the texture coordinates. It is also required for the real time 3D engines. It is then subdivided to reach the needed level of details.
Finishing works is crucial to have a high quality model. It is a manual step where the 3D model and texture are edited to get the final model. At the end you have a 3D model of several millions polygons including folds and fine wrinkles of the skin.
The model can be delivered As Is or with reduce quantity of polygons associated with a normal map texture to generate the fine details.
This step is fully performed internally in our Paris office.
We generate 8K textures (8192x8192).
As far as possible these textures are consistent, i.e. the model unwrap performed at the retopology step is try to keep the adjacent surface continuity. Texture are then logical for humans and can be edited into you preferred graphic editing software.
Diffuse colour texture is derived from the life model pictures with 3D colour editing.
We produce the following textures: diffuse, normal, displacement, ambient occlusion, cavity and glossiness.
Our 3D models are based on polygons (quads and/or triangles).
We usually provide a Wavefront OBJ file, including the polygons with their normal, textures coordinates and eventually material description. We can also provide FBX, WRML or STL files but the last only contains the polygons and not the texture coordinates.
We cannot produce 3D files based on shape primitives or curves such as IGES or STEP.
A wide range of materials are now available: plastic, resin, ceramic, precious metals, iron steel. Each material has its own constraints in terms of size, shape, resolution and costs. Depending on the required schedule, costs and material, we subcontract the 3D printing to either Shapeways, i-materialise or Initial.

Adjustable racking and vertical lift systems provide bulk storage in a minimal footprint, leaving more room for your manufacturing efforts. Our captive lifting and handling device saves space and time and is ideal for work in progress, maintenance, and other applications.
Shop and compare our heavy-duty, high-capacity bulk storage systems, each built to optimize space while streamlining your inventory organization and retrieval.


Got more than one device? Link them up together. Networking allows all the computers/tablets/phones to share files, a printer, and even your Internet connection so they can talk to each other.
Connection issues? Blackspots? Internet not reaching one area of the building?
We can show you how the whole house can be networked together, often in a very cost-effective way. Although ethernet cables may be the preferred solution sometimes this is not possible due to the way the walls are constructed or it may be too expensive to be a realistic solution. On the other hand wireless may not reach or supply fast enough transfer speeds for tasks like streaming video.
Call us on 8276 8026 for an Onsite consultation to discover the most cost effective way of networking your place.
We all know we should back important files up, but does it happen? Unfortunately, as proven by the large number of callouts for data recovery we receive, the answer is no! Why not? Because it's too hard/too much hassle/can't be bothered. What if we could show you ways for this to happen automatically? Just imagine never losing anything ever again!
We have solutions for all sizes of back up and restore conditions. Most people do not actually have that much stuff they need to back up, so often the solution is free of any annual charge. It may not be that much stuff, but it is often irreplaceable. If you think backups are expensive (they're often free) think of the cost of losing those tax files/assignments/homework/<insert important items here>!
On the other hand, if you are a large household with multiple devices or a business why not add a central repository where all important files, photos, documents, music etc are backed up to automatically every night. This NAS (network attached storage) solution can also act as a file server, print server, download station. Ours even acts as a solar panel monitoring plant!
If disaster has already struck and your precious files are no longer available call us straight away. We can often recover important files resulting from hardware stuff-ups, viruses or software conflicts. It's important to get in touch before you attempt a fix as ofetn this can make the files irretrievable. The more times the files are tried to be accessed the less likely they will be.

A 2-story brick building was completed c. 1913, replaced by a Works Progress Administration structure in 1939. About 233 students were enrolled in 1960. Classes were last held here in 1962, soon after consolidation with Grapevine.


Natural things are good for us, much better than goods with chemicals in them. In these modern times we are surrounded by chemicals. They are in lots of foods we eat as well as the toiletries we use. Who would have thought that we would have to clean ourselves with chemicals? That just doesn't make sense to me.
As the inside of the mouth is one of the fastest ways of absorbing anything into our body, it makes sense that anything we put in our mouth should be as pure as possible and this includes toothpaste.
Make sure your toothpaste is free from salicylates, fluoride, artificial sweeteners for example saccharin, and sodium lauryl sulphate. Try to avoid anything with the words glycol, propylene, polyol.
Sodium lauryl sarcosinate is used as a foaming and cleansing agent.
PEG/PPG is polypropylene glycol which acts as a wetting agent. It is also in the substance used as a gel when having an ultrasound and is found in baby wipes etc.
Three different natural toothpastes are Propolis, Olive Leaf and Vicco.
Jack and Jill is a natural toothpaste for children as young as six months old. It contains some certified organic ingredients and other natural ingredients.
Natural toothpastes are a great alternative to conventional toothpastes. Natural Toothpaste is clinically proven to improve oral health, with the plaque-fighting power of cranberry extract.
I am agree with you. And i also want to say Natural things are good for us. For that reason i use Vicco Harbel Toothpaste.
I agree with you. I also want to say that, Natural things are good for us. That's why i use Vicco Herbal Toothpaste.


The new Infiniti G20 reviewed in this issue comes with a remarkable suspension. It is, on the surface, a marriage of the utmost sophistication up front, with ox cart crudeness in the rear. The G20's combination of a multi-link front suspension with a multi-link beam beam rear suspension seems like the Harvard-Phd-meets-prison-work-release mismatch of the century, but is it really? If you look beyond every enthusiast's natural aversion to the word beam, the G20's suspension is actually as close to a perfect match as is possible.
Lets try to break the predjusice against the beam first. Beam axle rear suspensions have a deservedly bad reputation for a few reasons. Those schooled in front engine, rear-wheel drive cars draw a connection with solid-axle rear drivers. A solid axle on a rear-wheel drive car must carry the differential and drive axles, so it is exceptionally heavy and takes up a tremendous amount of space between its size and the space it needs to go through its full travel. A beam axle on a front-wheel drive car, though, only needs to connect the wheels, so it can be much lighter, and can be positioned lower, since there are no drive axles that need to be positioned at the wheel centerline.
The Infiniti G20's multi-link beam rear suspension (the same suspension that resides in the rear of the Sentra and Maxima). Is it really a good performance suspension, or just a clever bit of marketing to pepper the agonizingly dull beam with some of the exotic aura of a multi-link suspension?
Those used to front-wheel drive cars are accustomed to beam rear suspensions being used on cheap cars where performance is hardly even on the priority list. Minivans have beam rear suspensons, after all. Beam axles are cheap, basic, and they work well enough for the relatively unburdened rear wheels of a front-wheel drive car.
Solid axles on either type of car do have one distict advantage, though. They keep the wheels straight up and down no matter how much the body rolls. Assuming everything else is designed properly, this can be a distict advantage.
So what is this "multi-link beam" and what makes it so great? In reality, every beam axle rear suspension must have some system of links to allow the wheels to travel up and down without moving front to back or side to side--the multi-link beam just does an exceptionally good job of it. Nissan's multi-link beam falls under the general category of a twist beam. Front-to-back location is accomplished with a single trailing link on each side that pivots where it attaches to the car, but is mounted solidly to the beam. This solid mounting of the trailing link to the beam means that if the wheels do not move together relative to the car--such as when the body rolls--the beam itself must twist to accomodate the different angles of the two trailing links. So in a twist beam, the beam itself acts as an anti-roll bar.
Side-to-side location on beam axles is most commonly done with a Panhard rod--a long link that attaches to the car on one end and the beam on the other. The most obvious problem with this arrangement is that it is asymmetrical. Since the beam is located by a link that swings through an arc, there is a slight side-to-side movement of the beam as the suspension moves up and down. This is not at all good for high-speed stability. Another side effect of the asymmetric Panhard rod is different jacking force depending on which way you are turning. Since conering forces are transmitted from the wheels to the body through a not-quite-horizontal rod, a portion of that cornering force will be translated into a vertical force jacking the back of the car either up or down depending on what direction you are turning.
The Scott-Russell linkage used on the multi-link beam has none of the dissadvantages of the asymmetric Panhard rod, and is simpler and more compact than a Watts linkage.
Both of these problems can be cured by using a more complex Watts linkage, but those are significantly more bulky, and would take up too much trunk space for a luxury sedan like the G20. Instead, the multi-link beam uses what is known as a Scott-Russel approximate straight-line mechanism. This clever arrangement uses two rods to create a link that moves straight up and down. This mechanism requires that one of the attachment points be able to slide, but since this sliding is over a very short distance, Nissan simply designed a special bushing that is extremely soft in the direction the rod must slide, but stiff in any other direction.
So if the G20's rear suspension is just a twist beam with a clever lateral locator link, why the special name? There was a time when every different kind of suspension layout had a name, but that was when there were still relatively few commonly-used suspension layouts, and each could be described with a few words. Then came a new breed of suspension consisting of an assemblage of links, struts, and rods so complex that the few-word description stretched into a dissertation on mechanics. Thus the catch-all term "multi-link suspension" was coined to describe suspensions so complex and exotic that nobody could possibly understand how they work. The multi-link beam name is really just a clever bit of marketing to pepper the agonizingly dull beam with some of the exotic aura of a multi-link suspension. You have to admit, "multi-link beam" does roll off the tongue more easily than "twist beam with Scott-Russel lateral locator link".
At the front of the G20, a decidedly more complex suspension is needed to keep the front wheels perpinducular to the ground while allowing for the often conflicting geometry needed for straight-line stability, cornering grip, and compact dimensions. Nissan's front multi-link suspension is closely related to a double wishbone suspension. On a double wishbone suspension, the wheel is held by a hub that is attached to the car with an upper link and a lower link (these links are sometimes called wishbones because of their shape), with the upper link being shorter than the lower link. Assuming they start out parallel when the car is at rest, compressing the suspension will cause the short upper link to pull the top of the wheel in toward the car as it swings through its small-radius arc, while the longer lower link will keep the bottom of the wheel more or less in the same place. The result is increasing negative camber as the suspension compresses, and therefore the wheel staying close to perpindicular to the ground as the body rolls.
The G20's multi-link front suspension is essentially a modified version of a double wishbone. The changes that were made--the addition of a third link, and the angled position of the upper link--make ususally contradictory geometry goals possible.
Each of the two wishbones is attached to the hub with a ball joint, and the position of the two ball joints determines the steering axis. The steering axis is critically important to achieving high-speed stability, reducing torque steer, and providing strong cornering. Designing a suspension with a steering axis that leans back severely (one with a lot of caster) requires mounting the upper arm back so far that it often interferes with other vital components, such as the brake mastery cylinder. Angling the steering axis so that the imaginary line between the two ball joints passes through the center of the contact patch (which is important for reducing torque steer) also requires pushing the upper arm in toward the middle of the car, often resulting in either an arm that is too short, or interference between the suspension and the engine.
To achieve the ideal steering axis without causing the associated packaging problems, Nissan developed a third link called, of all things the "third link". Instead of the steering axis being determined by the upper and lower ball joints, it is determined by the lower ball joint, and a shaft held solidly by the third link. The third link is then attached to the car by the upper link, so the third link tilts with the hub as camber changes.
With the third link in place, the upper link can then be positioned with much more freedom. One of the freedoms taken with the mounting of the upper link was angling it forward from the car to the third link, at an angle of about 35 degrees. This minor change is an incredibly clever way to make the suspension behave differently during cornering than during straight line driving.
To keep the wheel straight up and down on a double wishbone (or in this case a pseudo double wishbone) suspension, especially one with a high degree of body roll such as a performance luxury car, you have to have a relatively aggressive camber curve. When going over bumps in a straight line, though, you don't want the camber changing that much. The angled upper arm solves this problem. With the wheel pointed straight ahead, the upper arm pulls in at an angle as the suspension compresses. This still introduces some negative camber, but some of the movement is translated in to a rearward tilt instead. As the wheel is turned, it comes closer and closer to being at a right angle to the upper link, at which point all of that tilt is camber change. In other words, the camber curve increases the more the steering wheel is turned. Very clever. And as you will agree, the "multi-link" name sure beats "double wishbone with a forward-facing upper link and a third link controlling steering axis and holding the spring and damper".
The fact that a beam--even a multi-link beam--is so simple, cheap, and beneficial for such mundane goals an increased trunk space and low road noise, makes it seem just plain wrong to match it with something as sophisticated and mysterious as a multi-link front suspension. They are, in fact, a surprisingly good match. Both the multi-link front and multi-link beam rear suspension layouts have been paired with struts on other Nissans. The current Sentra and Maxima both use MacPherson struts on the front, and the multi-link beam at the rear, while the old G20 ('91 to '96) used the same multi-link front suspension as the new car, but paired it with struts in the rear. Neither combination is as effective as the multi-link/multi-link beam combination on the current G20.
For the purpose of this discussion, the most important fact about a simple strut suspension is the fact that as the body rolls, the wheel and tire roll with it. On the Sentra or Maxima, that means that as the body rolls, the front wheels roll over while the rears remain perpendicular to the ground. This gives the rear wheels more grip, accentuating the front driver's propensity to understeer. One of Nissan's reasons for replacing the rear struts with the rear multi-link beam on both these cars was that the increased grip in the rear allowed them to increase roll stiffness in the rear (or reduce roll stiffness in the front), which forces the rear wheels to take more of the cornering forces. This takes advantage of the beam's extra grip, and decreases the burden of the front wheels. Even with the change in roll stiffness, the multi-link beam's grip is underutilized by being paired with struts.
On the old G20, the rear wheels rolled with the body while the fronts were held perpindicular to the ground. To prevent this from causing oversteer, front roll stiffness had to be increased (or rear stiffness reduced) to force more cornering work onto the front wheels. The new G20 can share the cornering load more evenly between the front and rear wheels. Drive the G20 hard and you can feel both the front and rear tires being fully utilized in a corner. It's a relatively rare feeling in any front-wheel drive car, but especially one designed to have totally safe handling for even the most ham-fisted driver.
While the G20's suspension it its technological high point at the moment, another year may bring even more innovations. The rumor mill is strongly suggesting that the 190-hp SR20VE engine featuring variable valve timing and lift may show up in the G20 next year mated to a unique continuously variable transmission with a sequential six-speed shifting option. These rumors are so strong, in fact, that we would almost call them definite if it weren't for Nissan's recent streak of anti-enthusiast product line changes. The current G20 is a strong hint that things may change, so be ready for a wild high-performance G20 next year.


The mechanism of action "Unitiol"
When exposed to toxic substances on the body, a person may feel unwell, or he will have symptoms of poisoning, which do not always lead to death, but death in such cases is not excluded.
It is possible to cure poisoning in different ways, and one of them is the use of an antidote, a substance that binds and removes poison from the body. One of these drugs is "Unitiol" - is an antidote used in various poisonings. Consider how it works and how to use it.
to bind and take him out of the body, until the consequences have developed.
To prevent the intake of a substance into the body, you can use methods of prevention, or removing a person from the area of infection. Blood thinning and forced diuresis help speed up its elimination. This means that a large amount of fluid is injected intravenously, and then excreted by stimulating kidney function, and the poisonous substance is excreted along with the urine.
Antidotes or antidotes can bind and remove poison from the body. They are different for each poisonous substance. "Unithiol" is a drug that contains two sulfhydryl groups (- SH). By the way, its predecessor, the British anti-luisite BAL, designed to combat the chemical substance lewisite, has only one (- SH) group.
How does Unithiol, whose mechanism of action associated with active (- SH) groups can help? Sulfhydryl group "Unithiol", capable of binding heavy metals (mercury, chromium, arsenic, copper, zinc, bismuth, and others), which are present in some drugs, appliances, paints and exhaust gases. A decrease in the number of sulfhydryl groups in the blood, when toxic substances join them, causes pain. This happens with diabetes, amyloidosis, polyneuropathy caused by chronic alcoholism.
"Unithiol" binds heavy metals and releases sulfhydryl blood groups. It relieves pain and allows the enzymes whose work was disturbed by the presence of heavy metals in the blood to recover. Therefore, it is believed that "Unithiol" - an effective antidote for poisoning with heavy metals, and it contributes to their removal.
"Unithiol" is used as an antidote not only for heavy metal poisoning, but also for poisoning with substances that cause a lack of sulfhydryl groups in the body (alcohol).
The drug is used for poisoning with heavy metals (except for lead), for diseases that cause polyneuropathy (diabetes mellitus, chronic alcoholism, Wilson-Konovalov disease), poisoning with cardiac glycosides.
Consider how to use "Unithiol" as an antidote for poisoning.
Mercury poisoning can occur both at home and at work. Probably each of you at least once broke glass thermometers to measure body temperature. In addition, mercury is used in electroplating processes, and it is part of some complex devices. When released into the environment, mercury evaporates quickly and its vapors are very toxic.
In acute mercury poisoning, Unithiol is used for gastric lavage and is administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously. "Unithiol" forms an insoluble mercaptide compound with mercury, which is easily excreted from the body.
"Unithiol" is administered orally during gastric lavage with a probe. The stomach is washed several times and after that 10-15 ml of Unithiol is injected through the probe, then the stomach is washed again after 10-15 minutes. It is well absorbed by entering the blood, binds mercury and removes it through the kidneys.
For the treatment of mercury poisoning, "Unithiol" is also administered intramuscularly, the dosage is 0.05 g / kg body weight. On the first day, 3-4 injections are made, in the second 2–3, then 1-2 injections for one week until the symptoms disappear completely.
Arsenic poisoning occurs when insecticides, herbicides used to fight rats, mice, flies and cockroaches are ingested. In addition, arsenic is used in the manufacture of glass in the pharmaceutical industry.
After it enters the body can be observed and gastrointestinal and paralytic poisoning. Paralytic characterized by severe weakness, muscle cramps. It quickly leads to a comatose state and often death.
Unless medical care is provided in time, acute renal failure develops, which can also be fatal.
"Unithiol" is used as a specific antidote. Since it binds arsenic and removes it from the body. To do this, it is given to the patient 1 tablespoon, after which the stomach is washed after 5–10 minutes. The procedure is carried out several times. Intramuscularly, it is administered for 3-4 days, in the same dosage as in mercury poisoning. On the first day, make 3-4 injections, in the second 2–3, then 1-2 in a day until the symptoms disappear.
Poisoning with cardiac glycosides or foxglove preparations can occur not only during overdose, but also due to cumulation (these drugs have the ability to accumulate in the body). Often the cause of poisoning is self-medication or the use of decoctions of medicinal herbs, in many heart fees includes foxglove, not knowing this person on the background of receiving cardiac glycosides, and uses decoctions. This can lead to poisoning.
"Unithiol" in case of poisoning with cardiac glycosides is administered intramuscularly 5-10 ml 3-4 times a day, then 1-2 times a day until the symptoms of poisoning disappear.
The use of ethyl alcohol and alcohol-containing beverages leads to poisoning of the body, and in some cases to alcoholic coma and death. Therefore, ethyl alcohol can be considered a poisonous substance. Its prolonged use causes certain changes in the human body and addiction. A man can not stop drinking. Alcohol, entering the body, is decomposed by alcohol dehydrogenase to acetaldehyde, it is he who causes intoxication of the body.
"Unithiol" is used in the treatment of alcoholics in conjunction with other drugs. It is not a specific antidote for either alcohol or acetaldehyde, which is the cause of the morning hangover. Although there are now many hangover drugs that contain "Unitiol", it is unreasonable to use it for a hangover. And if you take into account the side effects that it causes, it is even contraindicated.
"Unithiol" can be used in chronic alcoholism and during the onset of delirium in a patient. It is a mental disorder that is accompanied by general agitation, delusions, visual and sound hallucinations.
In such situations, "Unitiol" is not an antidote. At this point, a decrease in the number of sulfhydryl groups is observed in the body, which causes a disturbance and damage to nerve cells, and "Unithiol" with its two (SH) groups prevents this. It is precisely because of this quality that it is prescribed for diabetes when disorders of the nervous system, polyneuropathy, and reticulopathy appear.
In chronic alcoholism, "Unithiol" is prescribed in the amount of 3-5 ml 2-3 times a week. And in case of delirium, it is administered once intramuscularly in a volume of 5 ml of 5% solution.
So, "Unithiol" is a drug that can be used as a specific antidote for poisoning with heavy metals or cardiac glycosides. It is also used to treat chronic alcoholism, delirium, diabetes in complex therapy.

Q: How can I dynamically inject functions to evaluate using Puppeteer? I am using Puppeteer for headless Chrome. I wish to evaluate a function inside the page that uses parts of other functions, defined dynamically elsewhere.
The code  below is a minimal example / proof. In reality functionToInject() and otherFunctionToInject() are more complex and require the pages DOM.
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto(someURL);

var functionToInject = function(){
    return 1+1;
}

var otherFunctionToInject = function(input){
    return 6
}

var data = await page.evaluate(function(functionToInject, otherFunctionToInject){
    console.log('woo I run inside a browser')
    return functionToInject() + otherFunctionToInject();
});

return data

When I run the code, I get:

Error: Evaluation failed: TypeError: functionToInject is not a function

Which I understand: functionToInject isn't being passed into the page's JS context. But how do I pass it into the page's JS context?

A: You can add function to page context with addScriptTag:
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();

function functionToInject (){
    return 1+1;
}

function otherFunctionToInject(input){
    return 6
}

await page.addScriptTag({ content: `${functionToInject} ${otherFunctionToInject}`});

var data = await page.evaluate(function(){
    console.log('woo I run inside a browser')
    return functionToInject() + otherFunctionToInject();
});

console.log(data);

await browser.close();

This example is a dirty way of solving this problem with string concatenation. More clean would be using a url or path in the addScriptTag method.

Or use exposeFunction (but now functions are wrapped in Promise):
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();

var functionToInject = function(){
    return 1+1;
}

var otherFunctionToInject = function(input){
    return 6
}

await page.exposeFunction('functionToInject', functionToInject);
await page.exposeFunction('otherFunctionToInject', otherFunctionToInject);

var data = await page.evaluate(async function(){
    console.log('woo I run inside a browser')
    return await functionToInject() + await otherFunctionToInject();
});

console.log(data);

await browser.close();

A: working example accessible by link, in the same repo you can see the tested component.
it("click should return option value", async () => {
    const optionToReturn = "ClickedOption";

    const page = await newE2EPage();
    const mockCallBack = jest.fn();

    await page.setContent(
      `<list-option option='${optionToReturn}'></list-option>`
    );

    await page.exposeFunction("functionToInject", mockCallBack); // Inject function
    await page.$eval("list-option", (elm: any) => {
      elm.onOptionSelected = this.functionToInject;  // Assign function
    });
    await page.waitForChanges();

    const element = await page.find("list-option");
    await element.click();
    expect(mockCallBack.mock.calls.length).toEqual(1); // Check calls
    expect(mockCallBack.mock.calls[0][0]).toBe(optionToReturn); // Check argument
  });

A: You can also use page.exposeFunction() which will make your function return a Promise (requiring the use of async and await). This happens because your function will not be running inside your browser, but inside your nodejs application and its results are being send back and forth into/to the browser code.
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto(someURL);

var functionToInject = function(){
    return 1+1;
}

var otherFunctionToInject = function(input){
    return 6
}

await page.exposeFunction("functionToInject", functionToInject)
await page.exposeFunction("otherFunctionToInject", otherFunctionToInject)

var data = await page.evaluate(async function(){
    console.log('woo I run inside a browser')
    return await functionToInject() + await otherFunctionToInject();
});

return data

the 3rd gate: the Cervix
✨The Cervix ✨
The cervix is, in essence, the neck of the uterus. The uterus looks like a small upside pear, and is similar in size, which expands and contracts, fills and empties in relationship to stress, fluid movement, compression, and your menstrual cycle. Where your uterus narrows to meet the vaginal canal is a neck which is the cervix - and beyond that, the tip of the cervix which is called the Os. The external os is often referred to simply as "the cervix" - leading to some confusion on the whole structure itself, similar to how the word vagina only means the internal structures of the vaginal canal but is regularly (colloquially albeit erroneously) used to describe both the canal and the external genitalia.
The cervix is therefore the entrance to the womb - and the entrance to seat of the deepest channel in our body - the Chong Mai, which originates in the womb and governs the blood between the cervix and the heart. This channel also known as the "sea of blood" is related to the deepest experience of self; self love & self trust. During the final Level 1 class on the Heart & Chong Mai we explore the reflexology of the cervix in relationship to the heart - and how energetically there is a strong electromagnetic current which runs between the two. This reflexology and resonance between the heart and the cervix (similar to the lung and the kidneys in the first and second gates respectively) has a variety of different expressions ranging from the aforementioned magnetic charge of the blood governed, directed, and stored between them, to the electromagnetic correlations between the heart and the cervix as the main nerve & muscle centres in their respective areas of the body, to the endocrine influence on the heart and thymus from stimulating the cervix, to the fascial and biomechanics which impact and connect both of them; and we will explore these connections in depth.
✨The Reflexology of the Cervix ✨
In addition the cervix also has a connection to the crown chakra of the body - and specifically with the base of the body, and fontanelles, and a pumping action between these two places which is facilitated through the fascia of the body from the pelvic bowl into the fontanelles, and mimics the pulsing of the crown and base when we breast feed as babies. This connection between the crown chakra and the cervix inspires high levels of oxytocin to be released - also present during when we are breastfeeding as babies. It thus comes as little surprise to know that this particular connection of the crown chakra and cervix involves an extraordinary vessel called the Ren Mai - conception or "mother" vessel - which is a nurturing and emotional vessel on the front of the body. We will explore this connection and it's activation during cervix stimulation and orgasm in more depth after extrapolating the connection of the cervix with the heart.
Starting with an expanded view of the role of the Chong Mai and the blood and electromagnet charge in relationship to the cervix, the heart, and the blood and channel between, there are a few important things to look at. The first is to recognise that in Chinese medine and Taoism we see that different types of blood exist, and therefore all blood has different qualities. The blood of your menses is charged with Jing, which is your life essence, and "heart blood" - a precious form of deep blood of the body, versus the standard blood running through our more superficial veins. Heart blood, and the Chong Mai blood is deeply connected to the Aorta and Vena Carva of the abdomen which circulates between the womb and lower uterine and pelvic structures, the kidneys, and the heart. This blood is thicker and richer in nutrients, lifeforce, and iron, and as much has more "charge". When we talk about the electric charge of the blood we are talking about the ferromagnetic quality of the blood - having iron in it - and the capacity to charge iron into a magnet. When the spirit or soul connects into the blood, it does so through connecting it's electromagnetic quality to the charge of the iron, and thereby charging and purifying the blood. This has a secondary component which has to do with the nervous system, which is a conduit between the energy of the spirit/soul anchoring into the physical body.
✨Reflexology of the Cervix ✨
As we explore this connection of the blood in the "sea of blood" or Chong Mai - between the cervix and the heart, we begin to see also that this area (the channel) is hyper charged with sets of nerves and neurological tissue; the cervix has three pairs of nerves running through it, and the heart has a complex web of of neurological tissue and it's own intrinsic nervous system as a result. In addition, all through this channel there is incredible innervation in the guts; a huge collection of nerve endings sitting inside the enteric nervous system, which results in the feelings in the gut, peristalsis, and elements of our instinctual intelligence.
This is important to understand in relationship to the Chong Mai (as the deepest channel in the body, related to Self), and the sensation between the heart and cervix which determines the quality and sustained level and build of our orgasmic pleasure because the conduit for the places where the soul comes into the body, and sets the charge for the blood is mediated by the intensity of the electromagnetic charge that can be generated through innervation. The soul moves through the nervous system, heightens it's activity, and charges the blood, and in doing so purifies and releases experiences which are blocking our awakening. Therefore each of these incredible nerve systems in the cervix, the heart, and in between is actually responsible to varying degrees (shared with the release of oxytocin to prepare our body for heightened states of pleasure and activating) for the spiritual orgasms which are unique to cervical orgasm and activation of The Sea of Blood. Thus the nervous system is charging the blood, and the blood thickness, and quality itself mediates the anchoring of this charge, and the capacity for the oxytocin to be communicated through the body - hence the quality of blood in this part of the body being of such deep import to a grounded and trusting sense of Self.
The topic of neurology, neurobiology, the physics of the mind and the brain, and the science of embodiment and spiritual states is too much to go into for this short module, however suffice it to say that a large amount of the nervous system activity in between these two places connects to nerves which are not part of our central or spinal nervous system, but rather part of our parasympathetic nervous system - our "rest and digest" versus our "fight and flight" and this also accounts for how the more meditation we do, the more present and attentive, safe, and genuinely "grounded" electromagnetically we become. Ergo, emotionally with the Chong Mai, the more balanced and strong the Chong Mai connection, the more grounded into our self-trust, self-acceptance, and inner world we feel. This also accounts for a lot of manifestation which happens from a level of deep holding and knowing, and gestating, in the energetic womb. On this level the Cervix actually forms a plug between the outside world and energy coming into our body through the vagina, and the inner world between the womb and the heart, similar to how when we are physically gestating (pregnant) a plug of mucus is formed in the cervix.
On a fascial level the connection between the heart and the cervix actually moves behind the small intestines and up underneath the heart. The small intestines are the yang organ of the Heart and therefore it is technically seen that still the Heart organ system is regulating the blood between the womb, cervix and the heart - as well as the internal meridian of the heart directly wrapping around the small intestines, and having the capacity to open, release, or tighten all of the structures between the womb and the heart.
Moving on to the reflexology of the heart and the cervix in relationship to the Ren mai - or the more energetic experience of cervical orgasm, the Ren Mai cervical orgasm generates a channel of energy which runs up the inside front of the body and around the outside of the front of the body, almost cocooning us in a cosmic womb. This activated the perineum and pulses the base of the body and directly through the cervix in a pleasurable, almost non-sexual, way, generating oxytocin once again. This pulse moves all the way up the body into the fontanelle, which activates the sense of mothering and feeding on a safe, pleasurable, spiritually expansive energy which we have when we first begin to breastfeed.
As children the fontanelle pulses in spiritual experiences (it has been recorded that you can physically see the fontanelle pulse in babies who stay in rooms where meditation is taking place - as a response to spiritual energy in the crown. This also occurs during breastfeeding. This pulse does not affect our fontanelle as physically as adults, but it does activate the fascia underneath the fontanelle, and cause a somatic response of deep relaxation (also related to the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system and oxytocin) and a rolling orgasm of deep spiritual expanse, safety, and mothering energy. During this time, the cervix will often begin to pulse in a suckling motion, as we circle around, or gently stimulate it, or perhaps our partner is nourishingly pulsing the head of his penis (heart reflex zone in male) against our cervix. The lull is almost drug like, the pupils expand, and the body, breasts and vulnerable centres (yin side of the body, soft underbelly) opens to receive safe nourishment and deep orgasmic hormones, to clear the emotions which collect in the Ren Mai (Sea of Chi) and receive spiritual healing.
✨"The power of the cervix is insurmountable in its ability to take us straight to the place within our inner world that needs the most work." ✨
✨Denell Nawrocki✨
✨Cervical Orgasms ✨
The previous exercise speaks to a type of cervical orgasm which is a deeply opening, detoxifying and spiritual experience which is also the type of rolling waves of joy and pleasure which women experience if they have an orgasmic birth. It is a high oxytocin, blissful spiritual experience which waves and rolls through the your psychical body - but similar to the Ren Mai being called the "mother vessel" or "Sea of Chi" is deeply nurturing and feminine, and almost non-erotic, but rather purifying, innocent and spiritual.
The other form of orgasm we can have on a cervical level relates more to the blood and viscera, and is a deep instinctual spiritual experience - which I call the "menstruation" or "conception" orgasm. The activation of the cervix is deeply rooted into the blood and the guttural, instinctual nerve stimulation of the body. It is a mixture of that gut-wrenching desire based pull on the body which happens in deeply aroused animalistic attraction, mixed with the desire to be in union with someone or something close to us. It's an undeniably strong physiological force although this orgasm is also related to a spiritual experience. This orgasm I personally only relate to being with a partner, and the head of their cock (heart centre) and your cervix magnetically pulling one another into generating a child, or some kind of experience which moves beyond the two of you, and feels as though you are generating a child, or new worlds, or somehow the force of being together is responsible for manifesting enormous spiritual change on the planet; it's a very strong, very special experience, often related with bringing a new life onto the planet.
This orgasm has a strong pumping and anchoring of the cervix which actually moves the bottom of the heart and magnetically draws energy from the enteric nervous system into the cervix, effectively grounding all of the energy from the heart and guts into the cervix, hyper charging it to pull into the body, and moving the whole body towards this orgasm. This also completely pulls the psoas forward, and can actually be almost painful in it's desire and pull.
This type of orgasm is also related to menstruation as the cervix is open, descended, and magnetically drawing towards the Earth to menstruate. There is less sucking and more physical pumping and magnetically connecting to your partner or the pleasurable sensation, which you will feel all through your uterus, your guts, and even underneath your heart, so you feel that strong drop in your heart which sometimes we feel when we are deeply in love with someone and they touch us. This same movement is responsible for why sometimes we feel emotional before our period, as the descending pump of the cervix can release emotions stored under the heart. This is a more guttural, full body sensation orgasm, which pulls the cervix down to receive sperm, or to release blood. This can sometimes be experienced by using your jade egg during your menstruation. Depending on the spirituality of your practice, your ovarian health, and the muscle tone of your pelvic bowl.
✨Sacred Waters of the Cervix ✨
Strong muscles of the pelvic bowl and the broad ligament play an enormous role in one other element of cervical orgasm, which happens when all of the gates are open and fluid - which is ejaculation from the uterus and the cervix. The cervix has a strong connection through the broad ligament to the nodes of the lymphatic system. It actually has access to three seperate pathways of major lymphatic nodes in the base of the body and when the womb and cervix contract enough in high level orgasm, they can actually pump water and fluid from the base of the body out of the vagina in a huge gush of energy. This is of course deeply cleansing and stimulating for the lymphatic system, and hugely detoxifying. This type of orgasm - or "sacred water" is very rare to find, and does require strong muscles around the pelvis, however it does exist and feels even more liberating and incredible than a g-spot ejaculation. This type of orgasm is usually a secondary result from the more physical cervical orgasm (conception type orgasm) which moves and grounds the blood, nerve sensation, and fluids in the viscera towards the cervix. This eventually stimulates and pumps enormous amounts of lymphatic fluid into the womb and cervix for expulsion.

Wild Flag unfurls new, powerful rock energy ... and two women playing guitar solos at the same time
I checked out Sleater-Kinney one night in 2000 in New York City. As they took the stage at the Bowery Balloom and plugged in, some yokel in the balcony shouted, "I hope you're better than you were at Irving Plaza!" The crowd ooh'd, then booed. A challenge had been made, a gauntlet thrown. The next two hours were one sweaty, thousand-watt rebuttal.
There weren't many fair-weather fans of Sleater-Kinney. During their late-'90s, turn-of-the-century reign as the country's most intense and credible female alt-rockers (always with that gender qualifier, if not the dreaded "riot grrrl" tag), their emotionally raw performances and feminist convictions inspired fierce devotion among fans. Even Time magazine called them "America's best rock band." But by 2006, utterly spent, the trio announced an "indefinite hiatus" and hasn't regrouped since.
But late last year two-thirds of Sleater-Kinney, singer-guitarist Carrie Brownstein (now a co-star of cable sketch comedy show "Porlandia") and drummer Janet Weiss (also still half of the long-running indie-pop duo Quasi), reappeared in an emerging new band, Wild Flag, with ex-Helium guitarist Mary Timony and keyboardist Rebecca Cole (ex-Minders). You could say they're a supergroup — but the Fugazi comparisons are closer than those of the Traveling Wilburys.
In March, Wild Flag made its debut at the annual South by Southwest music showcase, playing a rousing, irresistible set. The music was chunky, strong and urgent, but also lighter, bouncier, full of Cole's kitschy keys and layer upon layer of sunny ooh's and ahh's. Their energy positively crackled — and they have successfully captured that on the band's self-titled debut album, due Sept. 13.
It's as if another gauntlet was thrown, and this new quartet feels they have even more to prove. We spoke last week with Weiss about that and more ...
Q: I absolutely love the record. It's a blast.
Janet Weiss: Oh good. We haven't talked to too many people who've heard it. Hopefully it's different and surprising in some ways.
Q: It is surprising. Were you going for the element of surprise?
JW: Any time I make a record or walk onto a stage, I'm hoping to surprise people. It's getting harder to do, though. There's so much information about a record and a band before you even hear the music or see the show, as in YouTube or an online presence, that gives a lot away instead of intriguing people. I think surprise is one of our greatest weapons, and I think we wield it well here.
Q: What's first surprising is the level of energy, absolutely bristling from the songs. You recorded the whole thing live, right?
JW: Yeah, there are only maybe three or four overdubs, besides the vocals. It's a real energy record. We're all four looking at each other while we're playing. The intricate moments that feel vibrant are actually us playing together, really finding out who we are as a band, and focusing on that instead of fancy production. We're not making an epic, 18-song double record. It wasn't about that. This is like shaking your hand, "How are you? Nice to meet you!" We're still finding out who we are. We're not sure.
Q: Where is all the excitement coming from?
JW: We just really want this to go off. Carrie hadn't been in a band for a few years, so she was probably dying to get back up there and play. Mary had been teaching guitar but not playing. Rebecca went back to school. The three of them especially were chomping at the bit to express themselves in that way again. I've never lost that. It's what I do in my life.
Q: Tell me how Wild Flag got started.
JW: Carrie asked me to help her with a soundtrack she was doing for a documentary. I'd known Rebecca and played with her for years, always thought she was awesome. We got her to play on it, as well. The three of us recorded, wrote some ditties, some instrumental incidental music. Spending the days in the practice space just reminded me of our connection, how prolific Carrie and I can be when we sit down to write. It went really well. It was a very organic unfolding. It wasn't, "Oh, we're gonna make this new band and take over the world!" Mary and Carrie create this dynamic that I really love in music with this tension and contrast. It's a little like Sleater-Kinney, but there's more bravado here, more pushing and pulling.
And I've never seen two women playing guitar solos at the same time. [Laughs] I've never seen that! Have you? I've been watching music my whole life, and that's something I've never seen!
Q: Why does that confound you? Why, in 2011, is that such a funny, shocking thing to realize?
JW: I'm just surprised. I just sat down and thought about it. Have I seen this? I haven't. And without going off into a conversation about women in rock, because I don't do that — I don't discuss "women in rock" because I don't "men in rock" — I just thought: I've seen two guys play solos together. I'm just saying.
Q: The chemistry you're describing, part of that is already well established between you and Carrie — and it seems pretty intense. Why is that?
JW: We do have this intensity. It's a language, an ability to be open with each other. There's an easiness there.
Q: And what does that mean specifically for the music?
JW: It means we get to important ideas very fast. It means we already feel like we're getting somewhere in this band. It's a language for working through how to unfold a song.
Q: Does that turn into music that's otherwise more intense than the usual pop fare?
JW: Well, we definitely feel music has gotten a little soft in the last few years. We've missed seeing truly cathartic, emotional, visceral performances. We miss seeing people letting go, daring you to let go.
Q: Sleater-Kinney always maintained a similarly intense relationship with its fans. What contributed to that?
JW: We totally exposed ourselves on records, and [our music] was a desperation to share our experiences, to create — it was our desire, our need to have the experience between us be meaningful and intense and revealing, every time.
Q: Was any part of the creation of Wild Flag linked to a desire to return to that Sleater-Kinney intensity?
JW: Not in the way of, "Let's relive this thing that existed." This was a brand-new discovery on its own. There are very few situations you get in and think, "This is really exciting, this has some real possibilities!"
Q: Will this lead toward or away from a Sleater-Kinney reunion?
JW: Sleater-Kinney was so in the moment — every show was a big deal — and that relationship with the fans was so intense and meaningful, to do it again as a reunion would feel so much less to me, less than what it was. I would never want to touch that. ... Why go on tour if we'd be less than we were? We value what we stood for. It's bigger than us.
Wild Flag will return in the fall as part of a proper tour. They're scheduled Oct. 9 at the Empty Bottle, 1035 N. Western. Tickets: $15, (773) 276-3600, emptybottle.com.

PM warms to Abbott boats offer
ANDREW PROBYN FEDERAL POLITICAL EDITORThe West Australian
Tue, 6 September 2011 7:53AM
Julia Gillard has indicated she will take up Tony Abbott's offer to legislatively circumvent a High Court ruling to make offshore processing of asylum seekers legal.
In comments that show the Government has not given up on the refugee swap deal with Malaysia, the Prime Minister said any potential deal must not be restricted to legalising the re-establishment of detention centres on Nauru and Manus Island, as the coalition demands.
"If Mr Abbott is sincere about this offer, then he needs to make it very clear that he is talking about working with the Government on offshore processing generally - not on his narrow solution," Ms Gillard said.
Her comments show that she would rather be at war with Labor's Left, which is vowing to oppose the resumption of offshore processing, than with the Opposition Leader on border protection policy.
Immigration Minister Chris Bowen said yesterday the Government still "believed" in the $292 million agreement with Malaysia because it would help break the people smugglers' business model.
And he confirmed that 330-plus asylum seekers left in limbo by the court's decision would be processed on Christmas Island.
The High Court last week ruled that Mr Bowen's declaration of Malaysia as a suitable place to send asylum seekers from Christmas Island was invalid. It also found that unaccompanied children could not be sent overseas without the written consent of the minister.
Cabinet last night discussed how the Government could get around the High Court ruling to allow it maximum flexibility to send asylum seekers to a third country.
Among the options was amending section 198A of the Migration Act which, according to the High Court, enshrines Australia's commitments under the 1951 Refugees Convention.
The Government is also considering changing guardianship laws as they relate to asylum seekers who are unaccompanied minors, so that the minister could send them overseas for processing without legal concerns.
And to avoid a revolt from the ALP Left, the Government may offer to increase Australia's 14,750-a-year humanitarian intake.
Mr Abbott said the coalition would work with the Government to put offshore processing beyond legal doubt.
"We are prepared to work with the Government … to ensure that there are no legal impediments to offshore third country processing and we don't want to give the Prime Minister any excuse to cave in to the Greens and cave in to the Left here and completely abandon offshore processing," he said.
His offer would not be conditional on the Government also introducing temporary protection visas or asking the navy to turn back boats, which are coalition policies.

Our sweet Bruiser died peacefully in his sleep today, ten days short of his 11th birthday.
Bruiser was from our first litter and was our first serious show dog. He campaigned in 1992-94, finishing #3 in 1992 and 1994 and #2 in 1993. In 1995 he went to live with Janet Wang in South Africa, where he stayed for 18 months. While with Janet, Bruiser achieved championships in South Africa and Zimbabwe and was the top-ranked Rhodesian Ridgeback in South Africa, in both breed points and all-breed points, in 1996. He also sired serveral litters in South Africa and now has progeny from these litters there and in Europe.
Bruiser is the sire of several other dogs we have shown with some success, most notably Ch Centennial Mt Sun Hunter, who was the #1 ranked RR in 1997, and Ch Camelot's Follow The Sun, the 5-year old female who is our current 'special'. He is also the sire of Uno, our youngest family dog.
Bruiser had a full life, albeit a year or two shorter than we would have liked. We will miss him deeply.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the people (more than 60!) who wrote notes of condolence. I apologize for the 'bulk' acknowledgement.
We found out in January that Bruiser had an adrenal gland tumor and only had about six more months to live. We could have tried surgery but they told us that adrenal gland surgery is high risk and we might have lost him then. Because of his age, we decided not to risk it and to make the most of his last time with us.
I am glad that we made this decision and that we knew for the last six months to give him special love. When you have a lot of dogs, including young ones who go to shows with you all the time, it is easy to overlook the old ones. Because we knew that Bruiser's days were limited, we were able to make sure that he got the attention he deserved. He actually felt pretty good most of the last six months.
Adrenal gland tumors sometimes cause the adrenal gland to overact and from time to time he would have bad days when his heart would race and he would feel obviously bad. We gave him propanalol, a 'beta-blocker' that is used in human medicine to slow down the heart rate and when he showed signs of an adrenaline rush we would double his propanol. He was especially energized this year because we had the audacity of adding Hadley to our family. We didn't let them run together--even though Hadley lived in mortal fear of Bruiser and never thought of challenging his dominance, we just didn't think it would be good for Bruiser to be constantly exerting himself bullying poor Hadley (to say nothing of the effect it would have had on Hadley's show psyche). Nevertheless, at least once a day Bruiser would strut out to the kennel fence and let Hadley know who was the top dog of Camelot. In fact, he even did this the day before he departed.
Last Wednesday when I came home from work and went into the kennel to feed Hadley, Uno, and Dawn, all of the house dogs came running around to the kennel door to be fed, as they always do. When I looked out and saw that Bruiser was not among them, I knew that his time had probably come. Sure enough, when I went in the house, I found him lying on our bedroom floor, where he normally spent the days.
He was a great dog--on of my special ones. I am glad that we decided to keep Uno--now we will have two of his kids in our household who will remind us of him for the next 12 years or so.
Today would have been Bruiser's 11th birthday--please take a look at his photo on our Camelot web site.
