The Adaptive Divergence Convergence indicator might be a bit of a mouthful to say, but it is actually an easy to install and understand trading indicator once it is attached to your MT4 chart. Inspired by the MACD, the ADC indicator adapts its effective lengths to changing market conditions (shorter in trending markets, longer in sideways) and becomes more practical for short-term trading by avoiding excessive signals and guarding against sideways markets.
In addition to ADC's equivalent of MACD's indicators, two consistent oscillators (one slow, one fast) are also harvested from the analysis to help support trading decisions. Whilst its various lines all derive from the same window of market data, they do have some independence from each other. This allows decisions to be made on the basis of weight of evidence.
ADC is particularly easy to optimize since it has only one parameter, and of the same reason almost impossible to overfit.

Q: Do transcendental numbers outnumber real numbers? I am not a mathematics student, but just out of curiosity I was checking out a website which explains the basics of 'Chaos Theory' to the layman. In this site was the sentence :

transcendental numbers outnumber real numbers with an infinite factor.

So I checked wikipedia for the definition of transcendental numbers. I think I understand what transcendental numbers are now but I still don't comprehend this statement. Could someone please explain it in layman terms.
The website is: http://www.abarim-publications.com/SelfSimilarity.html#.U4alxHIluXs.
P.S: I also have no idea what tags to put for this question. Feel free to add any as you deem appropriate.

A: Part I
What are real numbers? For the mathematician they are the unique Dedekind-complete ordered field; or the metric completion of the rational numbers (which themselves are an extension of the integers, which are an extensions of the natural numbers; which themselves are an extension of $1$ and $0$).
For the layman? Well, it's hard to explain to the layman without lying to them or completely leaving them in the dark. Feynman was once asked to describe the electromagnetic force, but he refused to do so because any analogy can be eventually reduced to the electromagnetic force, so the analogy would be circular.
One of the common ways to describe the real numbers to the layman would be to tell them that these are the numbers which can be written with finitely many terms on the left of the decimal points, and infinitely many terms on to its right (possibly most of them are $0$).
The rational numbers are easier to explain, and we don't need much for that. These are numbers which are the ratio of two integers. Simple, isn't it?
Real numbers, it turns out, can be divided into two parts, one part which is the rational numbers and the other part which is the irrational numbers, meaning the numbers which are not rational. And while it is true that every irrational number has an infinite decimal expansion, it is not true that every number with an infinite decimal expansion is irrational. $0.9999\ldots$ is really just a fancy way of writing $1$, and $\frac13$ cannot be written in any form other than $0.333\ldots$ in decimal form.
But we can consider another division of the real numbers into two parts. We can look at numbers which are "simple" enough, for example $\sqrt{2}$ or $\frac13(\sqrt[5]{42}+\sqrt{12})$. These numbers are called algebraic numbers, and these are exactly the roots of polynomials whose coefficients are integers.
Numbers which are not algebraic numbers are called transcendental, and these two can be divided into many families. But I'm not going to get into that now.
Part II
If we want to talk about "outnumber" we need to have a solid notion for what it would mean that one collection outnumber another collection. Clearly, $\{1,2,3\}$ outnumbers the collection $\{4,5\}$. One has three elements, and the other has only two.
Formally, we call this notion cardinality. It is one of many ways to measure the size of a collection. How did we say that $\{4,5\}$ has a smaller cardinality than $\{1,2,3\}$? We tried to match up the elements of the two sets, and saw that no matter what we did we could never get all the elements of $\{1,2,3\}$. We can match $4$ with $1$ and $5$ with $2$, but then $3$ doesn't have a partner; or we can match $4$ with $3$ and $5$ with $1$, but then $2$ doesn't have a partner.
We can't match both $2$ and $3$ with $4$, because the matching has to give a unique value for each point.
Mathematically, we say that there is an injection from the set $\{4,5\}$ into the set $\{1,2,3\}$; but there is no surjection from $\{4,5\}$ to $\{1,2,3\}$. An injection means that we match $4$ and $5$ into distinct elements, and a surjecion would be the case that we managed to cover the entire set we tried to. For example, we could match from the other direction, $1$ and $2$ are matched with $4$ and $3$ is matched with $5$.
Note that this matching still gave a unique value for each element in $\{1,2,3\}$, but it gave two elements the same match. That's fine. And you can work the options and see that any such matching between these two sets must have similar properties.
We say that one set $A$ has the same cardinality (or size) as the set $B$ if there is a matching which is both injective and surjective; if there is only an injective matching, but there are no surjective matchings, then $B$ is strictly larger than $A$.
It follows that a set cannot have a strictly smaller cardinality than any of its subsets. So in particular it is impossible that there are more transcendental numbers than real numbers, since every transcendental number is a real number.
One fact which may surprise you, is that the rational numbers, the fractions, have the same cardinality as the set of integers, and as the set of natural numbers. But the real numbers have a strictly larger cardinality than these sets.
Since we mentioned the algebraic numbers, these also have the same size as the integers. And it follows from all these facts that the transcendental numbers are strictly larger. In fact the cardinality of the real numbers (transcendental and algebraic together) is the same as the cardinality of the transcendental numbers alone.
Part III
Let's see what the site you linked to has to offer

And besides that, the decimals of the number pi go on forever. That means that if we try to express the relationship between diameter and circumference of a circle in numbers we need infinite detail to stay truthful. But infinite detail does not exist, and so we must yield to the rather shocking conclusion that the before mentioned relationship can not be expressed in numbers, and that pi is not a number at all!

Well, since there is no formal definition of "number" to begin with, I can't fully argue with that. But certainly if we want that the real numbers be a model of the notion of length, being able to say that the length of the circumference of a circle of radius $\frac12$ is a real number would be expected. And what would this length be? That's right, $\pi$.
But it is true that the ratio cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers, but that's fine. The ratio between the side of a square and its diagonal cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers either.

The same goes for that other famous 'number' e, and all so-called transcendental numbers (numbers that go on forever after the dot; in other words, numbers that represent infinite detail). And to make matters worse, transcendental numbers out-number real numbers with an infinite factor.

As I wrote above, this is not a definition of what are transcendental numbers. But if we do consider, for a moment, that the author was really just talking about rational numbers (which would match some of the other mistakes), and in that case it is true. There are way more transcendental numbers than rational numbers.
But what does it mean "with an infinite factor"? I have no idea. Because you can try and prove that between two integers there are infinitely many rational numbers. And yet, the two sets have the same cardinality. The same size.
Epilogue
And finally,

It may seem a bit paradoxical but since mathematics can not release its detailed accuracy, it loses connection with the real world around quantum level.

What??

A: Real numbers comprise rational numbers and irrational numbers (these don't overlap, i.e. they are disjoint subsets).
Irrational numbers comprise algebraic irrational numbers and transcendental numbers (again, disjoint subsets).
Hence transcendental numbers are a proper subset of the real numbers. They cannot "outnumber" the real numbers by any measure.
However, the cardinality of the set of transcendental numbers is equal to the cardinality of the set of real numbers (known as the cardinality of the continuum).
You can also say that the "vast majority" of real numbers are transcendental, but this is an imprecise statement.

ISRA: The Gun Control Movement Is Talking -- But Nobody Is Listening
To: State Desk
Contact: Richard Pearson of the Illinois State Rifle Association, 815-635-3198, Web: http://www.isra.org
CHICAGO, Oct. 24 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following was released today by the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA):
For the second time in less than a week, the world-wide gun control movement has suffered a serious setback in its campaign to disarm law-abiding citizens. Late last week, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed legislation to derail the gun control movement's attempts to litigate firearm manufacturers into bankruptcy. That victory for freedom-loving people was made all the sweeter on Sunday when Brazilian voters turned back a referendum to ban private firearm ownership by nearly a 2 to 1 margin.
The Brazilian referendum was carefully crafted to serve as a test bed for similar efforts planned for other nations where citizens are allowed to own firearms. Gun control leaders in the United States hoped that a victory in Brazil would encourage Americans to give up their freedoms as well. However, Sunday's trouncing of the Brazilian gun-grab referendum should shatter the gun control movement's hopes for world-wide civilian disarmament.

Re: ISRA: The Gun Control Movement Is Talking -- But Nobody
I love the line about Brazilians voting their right to defend themselves away. Why would that encourage Americans to do the same? This is further evidence that the gun control movement lacks any sense and needs to pull their collective head out of their :shock: .
Gun control leaders in the United States hoped that a victory in Brazil would encourage Americans to give up their freedoms as well.

Time has no value, you can't buy it and you can't turn back the hands of time. You can clearly see how time passes but you can never stop it. Such a great thing like time is visualized with a clock and in its turn clock inked on your body carries the philosophy of endless time.
Modern tattoo designs are more complicated and abstract so when it comes to clock tattoos they are not simple anymore. Besides of its main meaning clock tattoo has deeper meanings; everyone can explain it in a different way, the way they feel about it.
For some, clock tattoo can be a unique symbol of life and death; the struggle of two greatest forces. The clock can also be translated as a symbol of perfection; time never stops. The mechanism works smooth and flawless.
Clock with no hands of time can symbolize timelessness while particular time pictured on a tattoo can symbolize a special date. Distorted or broken clock can symbolize deluded sense of time. Broken tattoo more often appears in trash polka styles combined with splashes and dots of red color. Here clock is done in black color.
The style of clock can also change the meaning of clock tattoo. For instance, a sundial can symbolize old soul and wisdom, while abstract or digital clock can be a symbol of future and development.
Colorful clock looks more positive while dark colors of clock and entire tattoo add more drama to meaning. No matter which style you choose or what meaning your clock tattoo will carry it will look amazing cause tattoo with deep meaning just can't look boring.
Clock tattoos for men are more often combined with skulls, birds (mainly raven) and flowers. If the clock and time on it shows special date it is likely to have names pictured with clock tattoo.
Wrist watches look bold and eye catching especially when colored in bright shades. It s more suitable for men still there are no rules when it comes to tattoos.

Rights for Doljanka River in the Blue Heart of Europe
Reader Contribution By Darlene May Lee, Earth Law Center

The Bosnia River Action Network Advocacy (BRANA) in Bosnia and Herzegovina https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnia_and_Herzegovina, seeks recognition of rights for the beautiful Doljanka River, one of the few wild rivers left in Europe which is now being threatened by a hydropower plant. Members include Earth Law Center, Eko akcija ("eco action") and Gotusa.
The Blue Heart of Europe
Source: By NordNordWest [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons
The blue heart of Europe refers to the wild rivers that still exist, primarily in the Balkans. Over 80% of these vital lifelines are still healthy. By comparison, only 10 percent of Germany's rivers is still classified as near-natural, whereas 60 percent are heavily regulated.
A documentary produced by the firm Patagonia, Blue Heart highlights how 3,000 hydropower plants planned across the Balkans will destroy the last wild rivers in Europe. Dams destroy rivers. Activism on the ground grows. EcoAlbania won its first court case against one of the largest approved dam projects. Local communities in other parts of the Balkans are fighting back as well.
Three-quarters of the rivers in the Balkans are so ecologically valuable that they should be completely off-limits for hydropower development, according to a recent assessment.
Destruction of the Doljanka River
Financed by the former NBA Player Mirza Teletović, construction and development teams started destroying the river banks in order to lay 1.8 meter diameter pipes at a pace of 100 feet a day, according to Anes Podic, of Eko Akcija (Eco Action) in Bosnia. They have obtained an environmental permit based on flawed impact studies.
''This is just the latest example - we now see and hear almost weekly of the Balkans wild rivers being destroyed,'' says Podic.
The sacrifice of the river isn't even worth it. Most of the small hydro plants in the region produce no more than 1 megawatt (MW) each — roughly enough to power 750 homes, but environmentalists say they disrupt fish migration routes and pose a threat to dozens of species, including the Danube Salmon and Balkan Lynx.
"In a world in which the climate is changing, the value of hydro becomes more uncertain,"says Peter Gleick of the Oakland, California–based Pacific Institute. "We know that one of the worst impacts of climate change will be impacts on water—on droughts, on floods, on demand [via increased evaporation]."
With almost a decade of ethnic conflict behind them, the Balkans seek to rebuild their economies with the help of tourism, promoting their rich history while appealing to eco-tourists seeking wilderness adventures such as hiking, kayaking, white-water rafting and caving.

Exxon Synergy Diesel Efficient, marketing from Exxon?
Fuels & Lubricants Discussion all about Fuels & Lubricants. synthetic oil, conventional oil, brands, change intervals, diesel grades, gelling and such debated items like that. Non TDI related postings will be moved or removed. This forum is NOT for the discussion of biodiesel and other alternative fuels.
Or they have fleet-Exxon fuel cards and receive a discount for the testimonial/promotion.
Prove it! There is always a conspiracy theory eh?

Please translate that to MPG not miles per tank.
I wanted to report back on my experience with Exxon Synergy Diesel. At the outset, let me say that I know that this is not a scientific analysis and that it is one person's experience.
I have 89K miles on my 3.0 A6 TDI. Almost all of my miles are commuting miles in the NYC metro area. I have hand calculated the mileage of every tank since new and have input it into an excel spread sheet. (yes I have OCD!). After 89k miles my overall MPG is 28.6563. During those 89K miles I used BP and Shell fuel exclusively. So I have a pretty good baseline for comparison.
In recent months I noticed a decline in my MPG and decided to give Exxon Synergy a try. I have now driven 1,136 miles on it and have averaged 29.2783 MPG, i.e. an improvement of .622 mpg, or an improvement of slightly better than 2% when compared to my lifetime MPG. This is about the same as Exxon claims. These last 1,136 miles were typical commuting miles for me. No extended highway trips.
Of course that it is comparing it to my lifetime mileage. However, remember that I told you that I had observed a drop off on MPG and that is why I tried Exxon Synergy. In fact, for the 6,619 miles before the switch my MPG had dropped to 27.272. The drop off started last August and when it happened I tried various fuel additives to no avail. By late September I stopped with the fuel additives and decided that the car was just getting older. So by the time I tried Exxon Synergy I had driven over 5,000 miles since adding any of the additives. Comparing the Exxon Synergy to the entire "dropped period" the mileage was 2.006 MPG better, ie 7.3% better.
Of course part of the entire "drop period" included the warmer months and the impact of the fuel additives. So I also looked at my MPG for the 1,150 miles before the switch. This roughly lined up with the same number of miles that I had driven with Exxon Synergy (1,136) and all of the miles were winter miles (January-March). During this period I averaged just 25.727 MPG on BP and Shell. When comparing that MPG to the 29.2783 MPG I got with Exxon Synergy, there was an improvement of 3.551 MPG, or 13.798%.
Based on my experience it seems that Exxon Synergy does a better job of cleaning the fuel system than the additives I tried (Stanadyne, Power Service, Liqui Molly and XPD) or the fuel offered by Shel and BP. It also seems to improve the MPG by .6 MPG in my car, or about 2% when compared to the lifetime MPG.
I know that this is not a scientific analysis, but I thought I would report my observations.
I have now used the new Exxon fuel exclusively for the last 2,340 miles and have averaged a hand calculated 30 mpg. This is a 4.7% improvement over the 28.6563 mpg that I averaged for the car's first 89k miles. It is also a 12.8% improvement over the 26.59 mpg that I averaged during the 2,622 miles before the switch. While still not a scientific analysis, the MPG improvement that I have experienced with this fuel continues.
That's pretty impressive. Thanks for sharing your data KevinGary.
I wonder if in more performance engines, such as a V6 TDI, the potential MPG gains will be more noticeable (above 5% gain or so) and perhaps cost effective vs a TDI that is averaging around 40 MPG or better.
I have been pretty impressed so far.
In trying to find an answer for something else I came across a paper by Infineum (world wide joint venture between XOM and Shell and one of the largest formulators of fuel and oil additives) on fuel borne catalysts which led to other papers. Short version is FBCs are catalysts included in fuel to cause the oxidation of soot in a DPF. Effective passive regeneration at at lower temperatures which increases time between active regenerations which would lower fuel consumption. Google fuel borne catalysts.
Perhaps Exxon is using this approach?

These are the 25 Coolest Names of Cars
When it comes to the car that you're driving, we all know that the name of the brand is extremely important because if you're in a pretty influential circle then chances are that the people around you won't exactly see you on their level if you're driving the "Butterfly Mobile 600".
This is why many people actually specifically pick out their cars based on the names of the brand and more specifically, on the names of that car itself.
This is why, in a celebration of the coolest car names out there we decided to showcase what our favorite car names are alongside a few general ideas about them. You are more than welcome to look them up if you feel like you'd want to drive around in one of those yourself.
But anyways, with that being said, let's jump right into our first pick of the day.
1. Lamborghini Diablo
2. Ford F-150 Raptor
3. Ferrari Testarossa
4. Porsche 911 Carrera
5. Jensen Interceptor
6. Lamborghini Huracan
7. Ferrari 812 Superfast
8. Jeep Gladiator
9. Land Rover Defender
10. Rolls-Royce Wraith
11. Suzuki Samurai
12. Volkswagen Beetle
13. Dodge Viper
14. McLaren Senna
15. Ford Cortina
16. Alfa Romeo Disco Volante
17. AMG Hammer
18. Bentley Mulsanne
19. Buick Roadmaster
20. Daihatsu Naked
21. GMC Syclone
22. Mazda Bongo Friendee
23. Studebaker Dictator
24. Subaru Brat
25. Aston Martin Valkyrie
1998 Lamborghini Diablo SV
This car just oozes personality even before you even see it. Tell anyone that you're the proud owner of a Lamborghini Diablo and chances are that they'll have to pick up their jaw off the ground right then and there.
This car was originally built from 1990 to 2001, but despite this it's still considered to be one of the most famous cars made by Lamborghini and for good reason too.
Its name definitely made it stand out from the crowd, but couple that with the incredible V-12 engine that it has on the back and you have yourself one mean asphalt burner right here.
2021 Ford F-150 Raptor
If you really want to get your blood pumping as you ride around in one of the most menacing trucks ever built then you definitely have to get yourself a Ford F-150.
Even before you know its name you know it's a good product simply because Ford have continued to create amazing truck after amazing truck every single year.
This one right here was especially popular when it came out because of its name and you can instantly tell why. Its name is derived from the obvious term "Velociraptor", but what many don't realize is that it also stems from the birds of prey.
1990 Ferrari Testarossa
Let's be honest here, when it comes to combining different languages to sound cool and badass, there really aren't that many combinations out there that can match the vibe that Italian and Spanish bring together, especially around English-speaking countries.
In case you didn't know by now, Testarossa translates to "Redhead" in Italian, and it was originally nicknamed that because of the red color that Ferrari used to sport most of the time.
Even if you don't go for a red finish though, you can still shock everyone by saying you're driving around in a Ferrari Testarossa.
This literally translates to "Race" in Spanish, and you can already see why it's been such a popular choice both for people in Spain and all across the globe too.
It was originally given this name all thanks to a Carrera Panamericana race from Mexico. Porsche was already known as one of the top choices here, so when they brought out the 911 Carrera everybody was excited to see it on the tracks.
It has continued to shock everyone with just how clean and badass the design of the car is and more specifically, everyone's still in awe at the bold choice in terms of its name which we personally absolutely love.
Eric Morecambe's 1968 Jensen Interceptor
This name actually has a lot of meaning behind it, specifically because it was used by the former British manufacturer Jensen Motors to depict the second car that they'd ever released after the Second World War.
Yes, everyone loved it for just how amazing it looked and how good of a car it was, but what really stood out to everyone was definitely the incredible name that they went for.
It just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? It's especially impressive to see just how far this took them as they were able to construct well over 6,000 units all just for grand touring which is no easy feat.
Definitely not the most popular car out there, but still a damn good car to see on the big screen.
2021 Lamborghini Huracan EVO RWD
You may have already been able to translate the word "Huracan" by now, but just in case you didn't pick up on it yet, it literally means "hurricane" in Spanish.
To be fair, this name wouldn't be anywhere near as badass if the car wasn't also a total beast, but luckily Lamborghini really hit the nail on the head with this incredible vehicle.
In many ways it's one of their most well-balanced cars, all thanks to its 5.2-liter V-10, 602 HP and of course, the fact that it can go from 0 to 60mph in just 2.8 seconds.
This, together with its incredibly catchy name, has made a lot of people switch over to Lamborghini over the years.
2018 Ferrari 812 Superfast
This is another one of those instances in which if the car belonged to most any other brand out there it wouldn't be anywhere near as cool as it is, but hey, it's Ferrari, so they can afford to take that risk.
The term "super" is grossly overused nowadays, but in this case, we cannot find any reason as to why this wouldn't fit the car perfectly.
This is one of their fastest cars to this day, and also one of their slickest design wise. Just look at this incredible rubber burner over here, you can tell right off the bat that it deserves that nickname.
Couple its name with its incredible 789 horsepower and its V-12 engine and you have one of the coolest cars in the world.
How can you make a car cooler than by simply calling it a Jeep? We all know that Jeeps are amazing off-road cars that can take on any conditions, so how can we possibly make them even cooler?
The answer is simple, you name it Gladiator and you see the masses applaud right off the bat.
Although it's not the fastest car in the world, it's not even the fastest Jeep out there, it can still cross some off-road trails that no other car in the world can, making it more than deserving of that aptly chosen nickname.
This is one of the world's most iconic off-road vehicles and that's a fact. How do you know if this is the right car for you though?
Well, do you like the Jeep Wrangler? Do you wish it were a bit more elegant? Well then combine that car with the iconic Mercedes-Bens G-Class and you have yourself a match made in heaven.
How can you possibly make this any cooler than it already it? Slap the name "Defender" on it and you have a winner.
2021 Rolls-Royce Wraith Kryptos
Let's be honest here, the term "wraith" already sends chills down your spine even if you don't know the actual meaning behind the word itself.
Luckily though, despite having such a creepy name, the Rolls-Royce Wraith is one of those cars that you can't help but stare at for hours to no end simply because it appears to be perfect from every angle imaginable.
It has those incredible suicide doors and body type that you only see in movies nowadays, ever since 2013 it's been on the top of most luxury cars out there and it still stays near the peak of the hill, and with a name like that can you even argue against it?
Despite being relatively known as a more affordable off-roader than Jeep, Suzuki have still managed to attract a lot of attention with this relatively simplistic car mainly because of its incredible naming choice.
Just saying that you're driving around in a Suzuki Samurai is enough to get everyone's attention, and while the car itself will not get any prizes for its innovation or incredible design choice, it still makes for one of the coolest named cars in the world and that's a fact.
Going from cars that are called the Devil, to cars that are called the Wraith, having something called the Beetle may sound like a joke at first but weirdly enough most of us agree over the fact that it's incredibly catchy and charming to say the least.
On top of that, the Volkswagen Beetle is also a very competent car, and despite the fact that it ceased production a while back, it still is one of their most iconic cars as of today simply because of how incredibly cute the design and the name of it is.
Alright and we're back at the incredibly badass car names over here, and who out there can say that the Dodge Viper doesn't deserve a spot on our list?
Despite the fact that it essentially ceased production back in 2017, it still made for one of the best and most popular supercars of all time.
On top of that it was also one of the most affordable cars Dodge ever made, which enticed many people to get one over the years.
2019 McLaren Senna GTR
This car was nicknamed after the legendary Brazilian F1 driver, none other than Ayrton Senna himself. In order to commemorate his achievements over the years, they decided to nickname this car after him and strangely enough, even if you don't know any of that you can still feel the impact the name leaves behind as you mention it.
The McLaren Senna is by far one of their best cars, top that off with such a memorable name and you immediately have yourself one of the most iconic supercars of the 21st century.
1964 Ford Cortina Super
Despite not generally being referred to as one of the best cars ever made by Ford, not even close for that matter, the Ford Cortina still has an incredibly catchy and easy to remember name that many people have fallen in love with over the years.
It was originally nicknamed after the Italian ski resort Cortina d'Ampezzo, and despite having a relatively short-lived lifespan on the market, it still stands as one cool looking and sounding car for us.
1952 Alfa Romeo Disco Volante
While in Italian the name "Flying Saucer" might not win any awards anytime soon, we can still safely say that the Disco Volante sounds infinitely better in an English-speaking country with its original name and that's a fact.
It is one of the most aerodynamic cars ever made, and also one of the five cars that were built lens shaped as you can see from this gorgeous photo.
1992 Mercedes-Benz 300 CE 6.0 AMG Hammer
Even before AMG became just another part of Mercedes, they were pretty much ruling the market thanks to the fact that they were putting incredibly massive V8 engines in relatively small cars.
But as time moved on, they pretty much couldn't compete anymore with everyone else so they had to give in. But, before they had to do this, they made their piece de resistance, the AMG Hammer.
It was aptly nicknamed after the fact that the engineers stated that they basically hammered it like that, which is why each and every one of their models is so different from one another.
2015 Bentley Mulsanne Speed
This car actually has a lot of history behind its name, and it all stems back to the brand's performance on the track.
Back in the 1900s Bentley Motors stated in an interview that they'd be making the fastest lorries in the world, and they actually meant it because as time moved on, their new release actually managed to win year after year after year.
Because of this it was nicknamed Mulsanne, because that was the name of the formerly 3.7-mile-long circuit that it had to cross over to win.
1949 Buick Roadmaster
Because of their overall love for the roads, Buick decided to nickname this incredible vehicle as the Roadmaster, simply as a means of romanticizing their craft.
The name quickly caught on since 1936, essentially taking the world by storm and becoming one of their main focal points every single year. This just comes to show you the importance of a good name for your car. It can literally make or break your sales.
2000 Daihatsu Naked
Sure, saying that you own a naked car is definitely not the same as saying that you own a Buick Roadmaster, but let's be honest here, if you want to get a reaction from the person that you're talking to then you definitely got more than that through this means to say the least.
Ever since 1999, Daihatsu have aptly nicknamed all of their Kei cars as Naked, and it quickly caught on as both a funny joke and an overall great pick to choose from their lineup simply because of how powerful and convenient the car really is.
1993 GMC Syclone
SUVs are not exactly known for being "strange" or "bizarre", but let's be honest here, with a name as weird as the Syclone you're bound to have a unique car too.
We're talking about a turbocharged, four-wheeler that can produce 280PS or 206kW with its V6 4.3-liter engine, and that alone makes this a great acquisition to say the least.
Couple that with its outlandish name and you have yourself a cool car to showcase to your friends and family.
1996 Mazda Bongo Friendee
The Mazda Bongo van is pretty much iconic wherever you go, regardless of whether you're from Asia, the US or even Europe. Ever since the 60s they've spread their units all around the globe, and many have stated over the years that one of the reasons for this is definitely its strange and cutesy name.
On top of that, many have also referred to it as the Bongo Brawny, giving even more personality to this already adorable pick.
1935 Studebaker Dictator / RM Sotheby's
Despite the fact that when they originally made this car, Studebaker wanted to imply that this car was "dictated by the current standards", let's be honest here, most people immediately thought it was a reference to the superiors ruling the country.
Still, this immediately caught on, making them a lot of money as more and more people wanted to say that they actually owned a "Dictator" for once, instead of the other way around.
1992 Subaru Brat
The small truck market has never really been all that well established, at least not until the appearance of the Subaru Brat.
It was manufactured originally as a means of trying to combine both the strength of a V8-powered beast and the compactness of a toy vehicle, and luckily, they did just that.
This 1.6-liter powered car pretty much changed the landscape as far as mini trucks go, as more and more people that didn't even care about small trucks started buying one just because of its incredibly cute and outlandish nickname "Brat".
2021 Aston Martin Valkyrie
Aston Martin are already known as one of the best manufacturers in the world, they have always been revolutionizers in the field and they definitely kept the tradition going with this one.
The main reason as to why most have looked into it however isn't necessarily just its looks alone, it's the nickname that really sold the car for most people out there.
Nicknamed after the Nordic mythos, the Valkyrie is a hyper car with 1100-plus horsepower at its disposal, and with a name like that can you even blame them for going all out on this one?
So, there you have it, the 25 best names for cars out there in our honest opinion. Do you think we missed out on any car name out there? Slap us on the wrist for it and let us know so we know.
In the meantime, thank you for reading this far into the article and we hope that you learned something new today through it.

Clinical observations supplemented with imaging examination show that the large vestibular aqueduct syndrome (LVAS) is a rare developmental anomaly of the inner ear, which leads to hearing loss. The authors present a case history, results of imaging examination (high resolution CT, MRI), results of hearing acuity examinations (tonal audiometry, otoacoustic emissions, brainstem auditory evoked potentials) and results of balance examinations (videonystagmography) in an 11-year-old boy suffering from deep mixed progressive hearing loss of the right ear due to head trauma. The aim of this paper is to specify the most typical clinical, radiological and anatomopathological manifestations of this pathology of the inner ear. The authors describe the diagnostic and identification difficulties associated with the mixed hearing loss observed in this case. The article also discusses the child's activity limitations, which should be taken into account once diagnosis of this rare labyrinthine pathology is established.

So, here and now, we will be discussing about Brian Hallisay married life with his wife Jennifer and also about their children, stay put!
Brian Hallisay Married Jennifer Love Hewitt
Brian became one among all blessed married people. He hitched his one year long girlfriend Jennifer Love Hewitt back in the year 2013, November. The marriage ceremony was made private, only few friends and family members witnessed their lavish wedding.
Their love bloomed back in the year 2012, but stepped up for engagement only after a year in 2013, June. Brian made decision to share his moment to all his fans and followers and posted a picture in his Instagram. In 2013, few months before getting hitched, he shared a ring picture. Here, check this out:
A post shared by Brian Hallisay (@brianhallisay)
As of today, its already been almost four years, and still they are spending good moments as if they are married recently. They are blessed with two children, and are living happily without any divorce rumors.
Brian's Spouse Jennifer Was Pregnant Before Marriage
In the year 2013, Brian and Jennifer confirm the news of her being pregnant. The news of pregnancy came before the news of engagement. All of their fans and followers were happy, as good news came to their idol couple.
In same month, Brian shared a bump picture of Jennifer in his Instagram account. He captioned:
'Fake pregnant Jennifer Love Hewitt in Ghost Whisperer!'
In November of same year, after five months, the duo was blessed with daughter of whom Autumn James Hallisay name was given.

Windies bowling legend Roberts not a fan of Holder captaincy
West Indies fast bowling legend Andy Roberts has blasted the captaincy of Jason Holder following a disappointing showing at the recently concluded ICC World Cup in England.
The regional team was tipped by a few pundits and fans to be capable of causing issues for the more fancied teams at the tournament but failed to live up to expectations.
The same could be said for the 27-year-old Holder who headed into the tournament in a rich vein of form but failed to deliver a telling performance. In his opinion, Roberts believes one of the biggest issues the team faced during the tournament was a lack of organisation and leadership.
"I don't think too much of Jason Holder's captaincy. He speaks well, but in terms of tactics on the field, I think he is found wanting and I don't think he has the backroom staff. They weren't experienced enough to help him so you have to look at a number of reasons why we did not go further in the tournament," Roberts said in a radio interview.
"They had no plans because you had to have plan A, B, and then plan C; but their only plan was to bowl short and it showed throughout the entire tournament that they felt they could win based on the amount of – I can't say fast bowlers – the amount of people they had with long run-ups and no head," he added.
Dhoni to be dropped for India, Windies tour - reports
India legend Mahendra Singh Dhoni is not expected to travel to the Caribbean for the team's tour against the West Indies.
According to reports, the team has opted to groom new wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant after Dhoni came under criticism for his performance during the ICC World Cup.
"MS [Dhoni] will not go to the West Indies," a source with knowledge of the situation told Times Now News said.
"Going forward, he will not travel with the team within India or overseas as the first-choice wicketkeeper. Rishabh Pant will take over and there will be a grooming window for him until he settles down," he added.
"During this time, MS will help in the transition. For all you know, he could be part of the 15 but not part of the 11. This team needs a guiding hand on multiple fronts and wishing MS away is clearly unhealthy."
The tour will include 3 T20 Internationals, 3 ODIs and 2 test matches in the Caribbean. The tour kicks off with the T20 internationals on August 3 and carries on until September 3, which marks the fifth day of the second test match.
The Open Daily Diary: McIlroy strikes first in Woods battle
Not even the arrival of the rain could dampen the spirits of the fans on the final practice day for the 148th Open Championship at Royal Portrush.
The sunshine that bathed the Dunluce links on Monday and Tuesday was replaced by a cloud and drizzle on Wednesday.
But the weather did nothing to paint a bleak outcome for a tournament the R&A said will be the best attended Open outside of St Andrews, with an estimated 237,750 people expected to walk through the entrance gates from Thursday to Sunday.
And, just a day out from the beginning of play, our Omnisport team brings you the behind-the-scenes goings on in Northern Ireland.

HOME HOPE MCILROY ECLIPSES TIGER
The interview room in the media centre this week has been visited by Claret Jug holder Francesco Molinari, multiple major winner Brooks Koepka, former world number one Dustin Johnson, and the legendary Phil Mickelson, among others.
But the battle for the best-attended media conference was always going to be between 15-time major champion Tiger Woods and home hope Rory McIlroy.
And, after some admittedly rushed counting of empty seats - of which there were very few - during each event, this Omnisport reporter can declare McIlroy as the winner!
There's no trophy to accompany this honour, Rory, but I'm sure you're proud of the achievement...
MCILROY AND MCDOWELL NEED A DE-CIDER
McIlroy famously shot a course record at Portrush back in 2005, at the age of just 16.
It was a clear indication the young Northern Irishman was destined for great things, but fellow major winner and compatriot Graeme McDowell reckons his best score on the links course might be more impressive, given that he was under the influence at the time.
He explained: "I remember when Rory shot the 61 – I thought, 'wow, that's a serious score' and that he was a serious, serious player.
"I shot 63 a couple of times, although not in the North of Ireland Championship like he did – maybe it doesn't count as much when you're having a Magners on the 10th tee with the lads! Or maybe it counts more…"
WHERE'S THAT BALL GONE THEN?!
It is not only out and about on the course you can see the world's best players at a major championship, with the practice range a huge draw for the patrons.
One of the funky features of the range is the LED screens that surround the bays that track the progress of a player's golf ball.
That technology is made possible by Toptracer, who a couple of Omnisport staff on the ground spent some time with ahead of the start of play.
Any thoughts of a high-tech tent were quickly misguided, with a beautifully simplistic set-up on display.
Unsurprisingly, Dustin Johnson was high up the leaderboard in terms of longest drive, but it was Chan Kim who was leading the way...
Ever seen those funky lines and graphics showing the trajectory of a golf ball on TV or at the driving range?
That's the work of the folks at @Toptracer

Teenager went at 70mph through 30mp zone during police chase
Thomas Sheard's driving was so dangerous officers called off the pursuit
Emma Davison
Kirklees Magistrates Court, Huddersfield. (Image: Huddersfield Examiner)
A teenager's reckless driving concerned police so much that they were forced to stop chasing him, a court heard.
Disqualified driver Thomas Sheard sped through the streets of Heckmondwike at more than double the speed limit.
The 19-year-old raced through two sets of red traffic lights and forced a taxi driver to swerve to avoid hitting him.
He now faces sentencing at crown court after a district judge slammed his driving as "ridiculous."
Sheard pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving while disqualified and using a vehicle without insurance.
THREE takeaways shut down after vermin found on premises
Police attempted to stop his Ford Focus as he appeared evasive at 2am on April 15.
They followed him onto Bradford Road but he refused to stop, instead continuing his journey at speed.
Prosecutor Bill Astin told Kirklees Magistrates' Court that Sheard sped through two sets of red traffic lights, reaching 70mph in a 30mph zone.
He was eventually arrested near the scene and it transpired that he was a banned driver.
District Judge Michael Fanning said: "He's disqualified and has no insurance.
Man appears in court accused of murdering step-dad
"it's often young people who drive ridiculously fast and cause mayhem on the roads.
"A taxi driver had to swerve to avoid collision and the defendant has swerved through two red lights.
"Police were so concerned that they had to call off the pursuit. This court's sentencing powers are inadequate."
Sheard, of Lonsbrough Avenue in Heckmondwike, was committed to Leeds Crown Court for sentencing on May 21.

You are invited to attend this upcoming event. Please invite friends, neighbors and coworkers to attend.
Parents who enroll their children at the Clearwater School in Bothell grapple with thorny issues by choosing a democratic school. Providing their children with the freedom to be responsible for their own learning can be a daunting endeavor. Parents will discuss issues such as unlimited gaming, learning the fundamentals, how their kids are doing at Clearwater vs. traditional school, and how they themselves handle their difficulties with giving young people control of their lives.
In a radical ...departure from traditional schooling, Clearwater considers students responsible for their own education. Students choose what they want to do, when they want to do it and with whom and in ways that ...serve them best.
Given the freedom to pursue their passions and the infrastructure to take responsibility for their lives, Clearwater students become confident, articulate adults with the skills they need to succeed. They graduate, get jobs, attend college, all without GPAs, transcripts or other stamps of approval that more traditional schools require.
Presentation is FREE and open to the public. Parents, students, community members, educators and journalists are welcome.
I would love to go to this! Have I missed it? If you could give a date and time that would be great. Thanks!
Sincerest apologies, Sara, for not including essential details. The event was Sunday, February 24 at 1:00 PM.
The next event is a Clearwater information night at The Clearwater School on Wednesday, March 13, 2013, 6-8 PM. Students, parents and staff will be there to talk about the school and answer questions.
You can find upcoming events on the calendar on our web site, http://clearwaterschool.com/. We also host Play Days every Friday from 9:30 AM - 12:00 PM. Just let us know if you'd like to visit during one of those days.

80% of enterprises already have some form of AI (machine learning, deep learning) in production today.
30% of enterprises are planning on expanding their AI investments over the next 36 months.
62% expect to hire a Chief AI Officer in the future.
91% see barriers ahead with lack of IT infrastructure (40%) and lack of talent (34%) as the most significant.
These and many other fascinating insights are from the Vanson Bourne study State Of Artifical Intelligence For Enterprises. The report is available here for download (PDF, 26 pp., no opt-in). An infographic developed from the survey results is available here (PDF, no opt-in). Teradata commissioned Vanson Bourne to complete the State of Artificial Intelligence for Enterprises survey in July 2017. Vanson Bourne selected 260 IT and business decision-makers VP-level or higher from organizations with a global revenue of more than $50M a year were interviewed in July 2017. While Teradata commissioned the study, the research isn't slanted to their products but provides a useful perspective on AI adoption in the enterprise. The results are impartial and insightful. For additional details on the methodology; please see page 24 of the study.
80% of enterprises have active AI in production today, with Asia-Pacific leading all regions. 48% of Asia-Pacific (APAC) enterprises interviewed report AI is in significant use within their companies, with AI deployed operationally today. North American (39%) and European (31%) also are relying on AI use across their businesses with deployments across their operations. Globally 42% of enterprises seeing lots of room for further implementation and process integration.
Product Innovation and Research & Development (R&D) (50%) is the most effective revenue driver from AI today. Customer Service (46%), Supply Chain & Operations (42%), Security and Risk Mitigation (40%) and Sales (34%) are additional revenue drivers from AI today. The study also found that enterprises are starting to drive revenue from AI faster than many anticipated with between 25% to 50% of enterprise respondents reporting increases.
Data engineering (27%), Intelligent workflow and decisioning automation (23%), and analytic operations at scale (20%) are among the most dominant AI capabilities in use today. The majority of enterprises interviewed for the study are using several different AI analytic techniques with intelligent workflow and decision automation having the greatest perceived long-term potential to increase productivity and reduce costs.
APAC is the global leader in driving AI revenue from Product Innovation and R&D by a wide margin (65% versus 49% for Europe). North America is the global leader in using AI technologies to drive greater sales (40%), and Europe is the global leader in using AI to streamline supply chains and operations (47%). Different regions have significantly different revenue drivers related to their AI investments, with APAC also being the global leader in driving AI revenue from Customer Service (54%), Marketing (50%), and Asset and Capital Management (46%).
IT and telecommunications (59%), business and professional services (43%) and customer services (32%) are the three industries that will be most positively impacted by AI. In Europe and APAC regions, manufacturing and production are predicted to be the third-most positively impacted industry from AI. The ongoing global Industry 4.0 initiatives underway today are consistent with this finding as manufacturers look to predictive analytics, machine learning and AI to increase production yields and increase revenue growth.
Improving customer experiences drives the majority of enterprises (62%) to invest in new AI technologies. Improving product innovation (59%) and achieving greater operational excellence 55%) are the second and third reasons why enterprises are investing in AI today. Based on the survey data, APAC's investment plans will lead to the region being a global leader capitalizing on AI's strengths to drive greater product innovation.
Enterprises see AI as being able to revolutionize their businesses, automating repetitive processes & tasks (60%) and delivering new strategic insights currently not available (50%). European enterprises are predicted to take the global lead on using AI to automate repetitive processes & tasks. APAC is predicted to dominate the use of AI to automate areas of knowledge work, reducing the need for costly human resources (77%).
91% see barriers ahead with lack of IT infrastructure (40%) and lack of talent (34%) as the most significant. Additional barriers enterprises are working to overcome include the perception that AI technology is still nascent and unproven (33%), and lack of budget for implementation (30%). The following graphic illustrates barriers to AI adoption globally and by region.


Prada has a new incentive for travelers who love their luggage. They will now offer discerning travelers the chance to customize their luggage from a selection of 14 different models at two locations in Paris and Milan.
The Prada store at Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan as well as the one in Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris will allow customers to decide the colors and materials of their bags. The bags can also be monogrammed. 14 models are up for customisation including XL weekend bags, suitcases and laptop bags from the spring-summer 2016 collection.
The customised luggage takes about two months to create, so if you visit the stores now, you'll have a stylish new set of luggage by spring next year.


Sometimes deciding on the right laser for the job can be a daunting task and can mean that multiple types of lasers have to be used on one job site. With the Spectra Precision UL633, you do not have to worry it is Universal and can do multiple applications. It is a flat, spinning laser, can do single and dual grades, vertical alignment set 90 degrees, and help square from an existing structure – that's what makes it Universal. Small contractors can do more work on their own and larger contractors do not have to worry about sending the wrong laser or multiple lasers to any job site.
The Spectra Precision UL633 Universal Laser is the first construction laser allowing total automatic control of all three axes (X/Y/Z). Control of the Z axis is accomplished through the new "fan beam" technology, while control of the X and Y axis utilizes a dual radio connection. Benefiting of all the know-how of Spectra Precision, the UL633 Universal Laser is appropriate for all applications producing an easy, fast and accurate job. The Universal laser can provide precise automatic axes alignments to two desired points without positioning the receivers 90 degrees perpendicular. This allows contractors to perform easily dual axis alignments for applications such as grade work on sports fields, parking lots, tennis courts, and driveways. Since the UL633 Universal Laser can work with two receivers simultaneously, contractors can measure an unknown grade value automatically between two elevation points in Grade Match mode.
On job sites where maximum accuracy and stability is required such as airport runways, elevations can be precisely secured using the automatic Dual Axis PlaneLok feature. This capability locks and maintains the laser reference plane to two receivers placed at existing elevation points, eliminating drift or possible errors caused by vibrations or temperature changes. The UL633 Universal Laser is also the first laser where the plumb beam can be changed into a rotating fan beam which can be detected by the new SpotFinder SF 601.
The UL633 can align the plumb beam automatically to the SpotFinder for pipe laying and trench applications. Measuring a grade value through an existing pipe or an open trench can also be done quickly and easily in automatic Spot Match mode. The UL633 and the Spot Finder offer additional versatility for 90-degree layout applications on concrete pads as well as indoors for dry walls. Activating the SpotLok mode ensures the UL633 locks and holds the plumb beam automatically to the Spot Finder at the desired direction or elevation point offering a precise alignment to avoid rework.
The UL633 includes a full-function combined radio and infrared remote control RC603, with a built-in back-lit intuitive graphic display. Contractors can do everything with the remote control that they can do at the laser keypad, up to 100 m (330 ft) away from the laser -even from the cab of a machine or through a pipe. The ability to make grade changes remotely can significantly reduce setup time and speed operations. With its rugged design, the UL633 can survive a drop of up to 1 meter (3 feet) on concrete. The laser also features IP67 moisture and dust sealing to handle the tough construction environment. The UL633 Universal Laser retains all well accept functions of the GL500 series lasers with additional advanced features and benefits offering much more versatilities.

So I made my first foray into my life support project this week, using Dialogflow. Initially, I had little faith in its flexibility and anticipated having to train a word2vec model to facilitate the self-care/positive psychology "understanding" it would need, but upon further investigation the platform seems to be sufficient, although I haven't tried Fulfillments yet, which will be the real test.
While I haven't finished my plans for interventions yet, I translated what I do have into broad intents and entities in the console. Eventually, I will have to connect these to web hooks in order to serve up the actual interventions. I also had a lot of fun training its Knowledge Bases with transcripts from various relevant MOOCs, then testing how much it learned afterward (admittedly, probably more than I have). Some of the responses were wonky, or ended abruptly—which is consistent with what you'd normally get if you asked Google Home a random question—so I had to go back into the training data and remove anecdotes, etc. The feature is in beta right now anyway, so I'll withhold criticism until it's official, but overall it's pretty cool to be able to control your sources of information to what you know is credible.
The knowledge results the bot returned weren't very helpful, but it would be nice to have them in addition to the follow-up intent response, but I couldn't find a combination option in the console.
Interact with the bot here.
The faux-AI in the Sandra podcast reminds me of Lauren McCarthy's project, Get Lauren, where she performs the role of a smart home speaker, readily available to the user's whims 24/7. I personally prefer narratives where the AI hype fails to live up to its potential and humans have to go back to connecting with other humans, rather than the sci-fi fantasy where robots integrate seamlessly into society and fulfill all our needs. In the context of modern day Western society, where we are feeling more isolated, lonely, and depressed at an increasingly greater scale than ever before, it's truly grim to think about how we're still pouring all our resources into swapping human interaction with artificial intelligence—technology has done quite enough to separate us already.
In both the fictional Sandra and the actual Get Lauren project, users turn to these interfaces ostensibly for help, but they sometimes end up bearing witness to and sharing in small, intimate moments in their users' life. For the users of Get Lauren, clearly this dynamic was the entire appeal of the project, something that they willingly paid for with their privacy and partial control over their households. For the users of Sandra, this was a concomitant result of a natural inclination for humans to connect with other humans/convincing human-like interfaces (see: people like me who thank voice assistants after they complete a task).
For this week's homework, I decided to rebuild a markov model with RiTa.js that I had previously created in python with markovify and NLTK. This time, it would respond (loosely) to a user's input, and with a voice via the Web Speech API.
I had initially experimented with markov models in python because I had the idea to create a sort of self-care assistant as the final phase of my mood prediction project, and had dreams of it being this omnipotent and omnipresent keeper. While I have yet to figure out how to implement such a presence, I did have an idea of what I wanted it to sound like: a mixture of the exercises in Berkeley's Greater Good in Action, NY Mag's Madame Clairevoyant, and Oprah. I had assembled corpuses for each of these personalities manually.
It was incredibly easy to build this markov model with RiTa, and the results were surprisingly coherent—with markovify, it was necessary to POS-ify the text with NLTK in order to force some semblance of grammar into a model. However, there didn't seem to be a native option to provide seed text, so in order to make the model responsive to a user's input, I utilized RiTa's KWIC model to gather all of the sentences from the source text that contain each stemmed word from the input, and loaded what the KWIC returned back into the markov model as an additional source with a high weight. The resulting generated text was consistent enough in making subtle reference to the user's input.
The last step was to feed the markov's response into the speech synthesizer, which was pretty straightforward, but the creepy, male, pixelated voice gives this experience the uncanny feeling which every divine being deserves.
