The new movie will be an origin story for Han Solo and is set to be directed by Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, whose previous accolades include the Jump Street films and the Lego Movie. Lucasfilm and Disney are yet to make comments but are going to have to get this just right if they want to keep fans happy.
Being self proclaimed nerds, it's definitely going to be a fan made film by Miller and Lord whose previous work will lend itself perfectly to the quick wit and wry charm of Solo. Christopher Miller interned at Lucasfilm in his tentative years and was invited to play a stormtrooper in Geroge Lucas' special edition series, so you can expect him to handle a movie about Han Solo's early life carefully.
Also attached to produce is Kathleen Kennedy (E.T., Jurassic Park trilogy) alongside veteran script writer Lawrence Kasdan (The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Raiders of the Lost Ark) and son Jon Kasdan.
We're so excited to be working with Chris and Phil, who will bring a fresh new dimension to the Star Wars universe. They're two of the smartest, funniest and most original filmmakers around, and the ideal choice to tell the story of Han Solo, one of the coolest characters in the galaxy.
There have been no casting announcements about who will play Solo, but rumours suggest Hollywood favourite Chris Pratt could make a suitable replacement for Harrison Fords enigmatic smuggler, and having worked with Miller and Lord on the Lego Movie, he would make a perfect fit.
The movie does have an ambitious release date of May 25th 2018 and there will likely be more updates as the year progresses.

Fox Film Noir
1953 / B&W / 1:37 flat full frame / 85 min. / Street Date August 29, 2006 / 14.98
Starring Jeanne Crain, Jean Peters, Richard Boone, Elliott Reid, Casey Adams, Alex D'Arcy, Carl Betz
Cinematography Milton R. Krasner
Art Direction Richard Irvine, Lyle R. Wheeler
Film Editor Dorothy Spencer
Original Music Leigh Harline
Written by Dwight Taylor, Leo Townsend from a novel by Steve Fisher
Produced by Leonard Goldstein
Directed by Harry Horner
You know, I never thought I'd miss having Victor Mature in a movie, but it happens in Vicki, which happens to be an almost scene-by-scene carbon copy of 1942's I Wake Up Screaming. The original had Betty Grable, Carole Landis and Laird Cregar, and was interesting if not exactly a classic. Vicki adds a name (Leo Townsend) to the Dwight Taylor screenwriting credit, but Leo's job must have been to renumber the pages while tearing out expensive scenes like the original's sequence in a public swimming pool. Vicki is strictly economy class, with most of the actor substitutions a letdown. It's been an obscurity behind the at least slightly remembered Mature/Grable/Landis picture.
Police Inspector Ed Cornell (Richard Boone) is convinced that New York publicist Frankie Christopher (Elliott Reid) murdered Vicki Lynn (Jean Peters), a beauty he had promoted from a waitress into a society model and celebrity. Convinced he's being framed, Frankie gravitates toward Vicki's sister Jill (Jeanne Crain). Other suspects emerge, but even Jill believes that Frankie could be the killer.
Just by changing the actor names, I've used the exact same synopsis that served the original feature, which became a Fox Film Noir release only a few months ago. That movie was rather odd, especially in its use of the famous "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" theme for Betty Grable, but it seems an expensive show compared to the cut-price Vicki. The sets for the remake are smaller and less interesting, the lighting is mostly undistinguished and the scenes requiring crowds or location work -- nightclubs, the swimming pool -- are eliminated or reduced to nothing.
The leading ladies are not a detriment. Jean Peters and Jeanne Crain are well cast as sisters, with Peters convincingly ambitious and Crain a little more believable as a stenographer than was Betty Grable. The casting stumbles with the male actors. Allyn Joslyn and Victor Mature are an amusing pair of jokers in the first film, but Elliott Reid and Casey Adams (aka Max Showalter) just aren't as interesting. Reid carries his part of the picture well enough, but there just isn't the same kind of friction that resulted when 1940s hunk Mature and cutie-pie Grable got together.
The big stumbling block is Richard Boone, who replaces the original's hulking and mysterious Laird Cregar. Cregar was genuinely menacing as a brilliant detective in the throes of an obsession. The usually excellent Boone is miscast, or his character is just poorly conceived. The Boone cop shuffles around like a nut case throughout the film; instead of diabolical smarts, he has a sadistic bent and likes to beat up poor Reid out of jealousy. The only reason Boone is threatening is because Elliott Reid is such a lightweight. Cregar was probably chosen for the original because he was the only actor bigger than Victor Mature!
Vicki copies every plot detail of the first script, as if Darryl Zanuck told the producer not to spend money and come back in three weeks from now with a finished movie. Nobody could have been very excited about this show.
The ending has two surprises. Aaron Spelling, who later became a phenomenally successful TV producer, plays the creepy desk clerk at Vicki's apartment. Spelling may look like a geek here but he definitely had the last laugh in the industry. Secondly (spoiler) both movies end with a character taking a pill. In the original, it's a suicide pill and the man dies. In the remake, somebody changed his mind and the character walks off untouched. Perhaps he was meant to die a few moments later, and they dropped it.
The cheap sets and other decorations tell us that Vicki Lynn has become a famous model and singer, but all we see is a sudden proliferation of posters and magazine covers. She appears to be on every cover of every magazine, every week. It's pretty silly.
Fox's DVD of Vicki looks great; the untouched negative has probably been sleeping soundly in the Fox vault for 53 years. Besides a trailer, Foster Hirsch does commentary duty, pointing out actors and explaining differences with the earlier version.
On a scale of Excellent, Good, Fair, and Poor, Vicki rates:
Movie: Good -

(G)I-DLE Fans Shocked After Finding Out What's Really Printed On Shuhua's T-Shirt In "DUMDi DUMDi" Teaser
No wonder she has her arms folded!
The outfits in (G)I-DLE's new "DUMDi DUMDi" teasers have been a hot topic of conversation among fans for the last week, but nothing could prepare Neverlands for the outrageous text printed on Shuhua's t-shirt.
Fans are excited for (G)I-DLE to serve fresh vibes in their new summer comeback, but one thing that's really left everyone stumped is the outfit choices. Soojin, for example, is wearing a pretty floral top in her teaser.
Yuqi, on the other hand, is wearing a full cowgirl get-up. The difference in styling between all the members has everyone confused about how the outfits are supposed to fit together.
But the real shock came when Shuhua's concept image teaser was released on July 28. At first glance, it seems like a simple yet cute look. Her baseball tee, ponytail, and plaid skirt are reminiscent of a sweet schoolgirl look. But on closer inspection, (G)I-DLE fans learned that Shuhua's t-shirt is anything but sweet.
While looking up Shuhua's outfit pieces, Neverlands got the shock of the era when they found the t-shirt in its entirety and saw what was printed on it.
| IFCHIC
No wonder the t-shirt was tucked in with Shuhua's arms folded over it! This "Good News About Sex" baseball tee is a $145 collaboration between New York Magazine and Marc Jacobs which depicts a December 1976 cover of the magazine.
Unsurprisingly, fans were shocked to learn what was really printed on the shirt. Some are wondering whether Shuhua will wear the shirt on music shows, while others are desperate to hear the other members' reactions to the slogan (especially Minnie, who speaks fluent English).
Many Neverlands aren't sure whether to curse the stylist or laugh at the hilarity. Of course, if Shuhua does wear the t-shirt for promotions, she won't be the first to don an inappropriate phrase in public.

Difford and Tilbrook used the title in a 1983 musical.

Critical reception
Bryan Wawzenek of Diffuser compiled a list of country songs by alternative, indie and punk artists. He proclaimed "Labelled with Love" to adorn both musical and lyrical "country hallmarks", with themes pertaining to "drinking and heartbreak" and instrumentation of "moseying beat and Nashville piano."

Angry Bird: Pheasant attack alleged in West Salem
Carol McAlice Currie
Quick. Someone call The Rachel Maddow Show.
First Salem had attack owls, which put it on the radar of national television and resulted in the city's snagging nifty yellow warning signs for Bush's Pasture Park.
Now some are alleging Salem has angry pheasants, too.
But for the latter, fish and wildlife officials are crying fowl — er, foul.
Last week, DeAnne Koolovitz, who lives in West Salem with her husband, Ryan Koolovitz, and their two children, Morgan Van Otterloo, 13, and Jake Van Otterloo, 11, reported that a landscaper in her Wallace Hill neighborhood had called his boss, who in turn, called the Polk County Sheriff's Office to report a "menacing chicken or wild turkey." The sheriff's office said it did not respond to the call because it was canceled before an officer would, or could, have been dispatched.
But Koolovitz said "Ellen," as her children call the bird, is hardly a menace. Ellen, who despite the name is likely a male and not a female because of its bejeweled face, neck and collar, frequents the neighborhood and has never been aggressive toward anyone, Koolovitz said. In fact, the iridescent bird has become something of a neighborhood celebrity who hasn't bothered anyone.
"We just love him," Koolovitz said. "He likes people. He was just sitting on the fence watching the landscaper carefully. I never saw him attack anyone."
She speculates that the bird remembered the landscaper had directed a leaf blower at it previously, and it was just giving the stink eye to the worker with the lawn mower and other power tools.
Jack and Carol Mathers, who live a couple of doors down from the Koolovitz family, said they, too, have come to admire the bird. They said they've seen Ellen and also some females, who are more gray and beige colored and have none of the brightly colored faces, walk in their neighborhood.
"We put out bird feed with some corn and cornflakes," Jack Mathers said. "He comes right up to the door and has a bite to eat. Doesn't bother anyone."
DeAnne Koolovitz said local letter carriers, the UPS delivery person and just about anyone who comes down her street and sees the copper-and-gold colored bird with bright red face, greenish blue neck and snow-white collar, stops to marvel at it. She believes it lives in the unmown brush and tall grass at the end of their street.
"The UPS guy even took a video of it," Koolovitz said. "Ellen is just so cool. He never bothers us. He just picks up the breadcrumbs we leave behind."
Which is why the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife recommends against feeding wild birds and animals.
"If it's getting fed, it's losing its fear of humans," said Michelle Dennehy, a Fish and Wildlife spokeswoman.
She said the bird, which according to the department was first introduced to the United States through Oregon in the late 1880s, should be eating seeds and flower buds this time of year, not bread scraps.
"While I wouldn't want anyone to get scratched, the pheasant is a small bird that doesn't even have the spurs of a turkey, so there's really nothing to fear," Dennehy said.
She said it is currently breeding season for male pheasants and this fact, coupled with it possibility the bird has been habituated by humans, count account for mild aggression. But she said sitting on a fence doesn't constitute aggression. She said she was surprised the bird didn't disappear following the leaf blower incident.
But it was back in the neighborhood Monday afternoon. Morgan spotted it on a fence as she and her family were getting ready to leave for her brother's Little League game. They hope Ellen will stay put. They didn't understand why the landscaper would direct a leaf blower at the bird, nor could they grapple with a story their mom told about a group of youths coming into their neighborhood with air rifles, saying they hadn't shot at the bird, just chased it.
"I don't understand some people," Jake said.
Dennehy wants to remind the public that it is not pheasant hunting season (it starts in September), and that discharging a weapon within city limits is unlawful for anyone who might think they could just shoot the allegedly aggressive pheasant.
With Koolovitz disputing its aggressiveness and Dennehy denying it being a common characteristic of the pheasant, it's likely the bird was just keeping a watchful eye on the person it recalled previously aiming a noisy and windy power tool at it.
"I wouldn't be too worried," Dennehy said. "If it's being purposely fed and that is stopped, it will probably leave on its own."

Last fall, we conducted a pilot study on Navigate Computer Science with two instructors and their students at La Roche College and Union College. Both instructors and 23 students provided us with their feedback and experiences using the product. In addition, the instructors allowed us to link information about their students' performance to how often they accessed Navigate so we could evaluate the relationship.


Every Sunday we have two services with worship, encouraging teaching, snacks and a special program for the kids.
We are a growing group of people connected together in our love for our God and our passion to see more people impacted by the love of Jesus.
Propelled by God's love for the lost, they dream of building a church that reaches the unevangelized urban masses of Asia. They believe in raising up the next generation of leaders to impact all spheres of society and to be examples in love, faith and purity. They both enjoy sharing the life giving principles of the Bible. Their heart is to see people get to know their creator, their destiny and be equipped to fulfill it.
When Jesust changes a life, people take note. When it happens to person after person in a City, a movement of God takes place. Giving an offering helps fuel growth for God's work to happen in new locations, new places, and new Nations.


Thank you, sweet friend…love finding you here, blessings and love!
Thank you, sweet Krishnapriya. It seems that even in waiting the One draws near to reassure me…and what am I waiting for, since I already feel Her companionship? Something in these dark, chilly days of approaching winter keeps me feeling suspended, not lost, but waiting, expectant, and yes, yearning as always. Love to you, darling Krishnapriya…sending you hugs and much love!

Dooremi is a musical door that interactively plays sounds, melodies, and sound textures when in use. We took the natural interactions people have with doors –– grabbing and turning the knob and pushing and puling motions –– and turned them into musical activities. The interactions with doors are often accompanied by a sound that is generally ignored by the user. We believe that this sound can be considered musically rich and expressive as each door has unique sound characteristics and each person makes it sound slightly different. Through surprise, this project aims to bring more awareness of this specific sound of everyday life and also to augment the individual differences of this sound.

Q&A with Debby Routt, Interim VP of People & Culture
/in Blog /by Mike Lafollette
Debby Routt joined OurHealth as the interim VP of People & Culture on August 19. She brings more than thirty years of HR leadership and a passion for people and their development. Read on to hear more about her decision to join the company and how she'd spend her perfect day.
OurHealth (OH): Tell me about your decision to join OurHealth…
Debby Routt (DR): I've been a fan of OurHealth since the very beginning, having made the decision to add the clinic benefit for our associates at OneAmerica which made us the second customer after Interactive Intelligence (now Genesys). Through that partnership, I developed a strong relationship with Ben, Jeff and many of the team members. They were instrumental in helping OneAmerica overcome a number of challenges with increasing premiums and a dated work environment. I've so enjoyed my interactions with everyone on the team and when Shelly and I began talking about the leadership opportunity, I was intrigued. I left OneAmerica in March and five months into my "retirement," I realized I missed the excitement of being part of a team and building something. When Shelly offered me the opportunity, I knew I wanted to come on board, and we agreed to structure it as a six-month contract so we could both be sure it was a good fit. Two weeks in, and I've been super impressed. It's an absolute pleasure to be here. When I made the OurHealth decision at OneAmerica in 2011, my benefit consultant told me that out of the three pitches, one would be totally different. As soon as Ben and Jeff started talking, I knew he was referring to OurHealth. What you do is special and has the potential to make a huge and meaningful impact, not only on an employer's health plan spend, but on people's lives. I've seen it personally, and I'm thrilled to be on the inside to help grow the business. This is an exciting time for OurHealth, and I feel lucky to be here.
OH: Tell us about your family
DR: My husband Terry and I celebrated 44 years of marriage last Thursday! We met in Cincinnati when both of us worked at the local Burger Chef. We have a daughter, Amy, who works for the NCAA, and our son Stefan is a Psychiatrist that lives in Atlanta with his wife Emily and our only grandchild – an 18-month-old girl named Sawyer James. Let me tell you more about her name…Stefan played competitive basketball, and he and Lebron James are the same age. He never played directly against him, but he's a big fan. So big that he gave Sawyer the middle name James in his honor. We also have two grand-dogs – Cosmo and Raisin. Terry is retired from his accounting career and when we're not traveling, he spends his time defending his record as the Indiana state ping pong champion for his age ranking and group (we even have an Olympic regulation ping pong table that he purchased from Germany!).
OH: What do you like to do in your free time?
DR: Terry and I are travel addicts. Terry's early career took us to Germany where we lived for nearly six years. Stefan was actually born there, which is why he has a German name. Most of our trips take us through Atlanta to see Sawyer these days. Hawaii is our happy place and we visit every year in the winter. The most interesting place we've been recently is Cuba. Alaska, Portugal and the Panama Canal are all on our list to visit that we haven't been to yet.
OH: Describe your perfect day
DR: If I'm not traveling – working out, breakfast at Rosie's café or Café Patachou, reading a good book and fixing a nice dinner with no stress. If I'm traveling, a perfect day would be on a beach at sunset with a margarita in one hand and a book in the other.
OH: Do you have a motto or quote that defines your leadership style?
DR: From an HR standpoint, if it's not illegal, immoral or unethical we can at least talk about it. Other than that, human resources is not rocket science. Let's not take ourselves too seriously and do the right thing.
OH: How'd you get into HR? What do you love about it?
DR: I landed in HR accidentally. I'd just graduated from college and had been offered a fabulous role at Levi Strauss & Co., but turned it down for the opportunity to move to Germany with Terry. I got a job with Boston University's overseas program and after a few months, the head of HR announced she was returning to the US. I walked down the hall to the VP of the University and explained why I was the right person for the job even though I'd never done it before. He hired me on the spot, and I started the following Monday. I spent five years in the role and traveled all over Europe. I loved it! When we move back to the States, I became an underwriter for five years (which I wasn't nearly as passionate about), found my way back into HR at Allstate and never looked back. I love working with people, and I love being able to impact the culture of an organization. Culture is the most important thing. I can do HR for any company, but I choose to do it for organizations that have the best culture and where I can have the greatest impact.
OH: You've been here two weeks – what are your first impressions?
DR: Everyone I've met has been great. I love the interactions and camaraderie I've seen among the leadership team – it's refreshing. I haven't had a lot of interactions with them yet, but I'm intrigued. I love the enthusiasm of the HR team and their desire to do what's in the best interest of the organization. It's an interesting transition going from the buyer of OurHealth to a leader on the inside. It's great to see all the things I thought to be true about the business be reinforced internally. I also love that the office is downtown – love the vibe!
OH: 70% of OurHealth employees work in our clinics – how do you personally plan to engage with the field? What should the field expect from the HR team under your leadership?
DR: I want to build strong relationships with our team members in the field, and I'm planning a lot of clinic visits in October. I want to understand their day-to-day, what's going well? Where can we improve? Do they feel communicated to? Engaged? I've worked closely with the Tower clinic team over the last 8 years through our partnership at OneAmerica, but I know that each clinic and each clinic team is unique. I'm anxious to see the different locations up close. As an organization we should be much more focused on the field than headquarters. I love that there's a desire here to flip that focus, and I'm excited to think about how we can achieve that.
OH: What will you be focused on over the next 6 months?
DR: Right away we're going to dig into the HR basics – audit of all the things we do to make sure we have all of our risks identified and processes documented. We're a small and lean team, and we need to make sure we can keep up with our growth. I also want to look at compensation programs, how we hire people, performance review systems, career development, leadership training and development…We want to provide all of our team members with a career path. Above that, I want to get to know people and learn what's top of mind for them. I want to help build and reinforce a culture that we can all be proud of.
OH: Anything you want to add?
DR: Thank you to everyone for being so open and helpful during my first couple weeks! It's hard being new, but I've loved our time together so far.

OurHealth Patient Success: Michael's Story 8 Years at OurHealth: Jess' Journey from Employee No. 5 to Today!


A half-million-dollar grant awarded to Palo Alto College will help student parents pay for childcare at the College's Ray Ellison Family Center (REFC) over the next four years.
Palo Alto College was selected to receive funding under the U.S. Department of Education's Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) Program, which supports the participation of limited-income parents in postsecondary education through the provision of campus-based childcare services. The grant will be in the amount of $137,337 for the first year, and is anticipated to last a total of four years.
Approximately 20 limited-income student parents will be selected for the "Parent Scholar Program" and receive the grant funding each semester. Eligibility requirements for the Parent Scholar Program include being enrolled at Palo Alto College, maintaining a 2.0 GPA, and having a degree plan. Funding provided through the Parent Scholar Program will cover the majority of the cost of on-campus, full-day, year-round childcare at the REFC, with students only paying $25 to $35 per child, per week.
Surveys of Palo Alto College students have shown that "caring for dependents" is a likely cause for student parents to drop out of college, and, furthermore, that few student parents are able to take advantage of free campus resources like advising and tutoring.
The REFC holds accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children, the highest level of accreditation for early childhood centers. The REFC cares for children ages 18 months to five years, and they are taught structure, schedule, and social and fine motor skills that will set them ahead for kindergarten, according to Flores. This gives student parents the peace of mind that their children are well cared for while they are focusing on building a future for themselves and their family.
The deadline to apply for the spring 2018 Parent Scholar Program is Friday, January 5, 2018. Selected families will be notified Monday, January 8, 2018.

Exclusive: BxArts Factory Reveals New Home Just in Time for Their Launch Party Tonight
The future home of the BxArts Factory
Many Bronxites and artists have been talking about the new arts organization, BxArts Factory, since we made the announcement last month on the inception of the this endeavor. Now, today, in anticipation of their launch party tonight at the Bronx Museum, they've revealed to Welcome2TheBronx their location.

It's a great opportunity to help bring everyone together to empower society through art", said Laura Alvarez Vice-President and COO of the BxArts Factory as well as a founding member.
The organization will occupy approximately 2,500 square feet of space in the cellar of the building, otherwise known to local residents and its tenants, as the 'Casket Building' as the edifice was once a casket-making factory during its last incarnation. BxArts Factory is still under negotiations with the building's landlord on the terms of the lease, however, the organization is happy to say that this will be their new home.
Located behind the Opera House Hotel and just 2 blocks from the 3rd Avenue and 149th Street subway station on the 2/5 express trains gives the BxArts Factory access to the millions that pass through the area not to mention that The Hub has over 200,000 pedestrians making it the busiest intersection outside of Times Square.

Yolanda Rodriguez, President, CEO, and founder of BxArts Factory said, "The Bronx has been my home since 1997. I love the Bronx and I love the people that make it so unique. I am thrilled to be able to bring our organization to the Melrose-Mott Haven area. I remember visiting the area local businesses often with my aunt when I first moved here."

Do Motorcycles Have Horns?
Absolutely, motorcycles do have horns. Without horns, it gets very difficult to travel on road. It's also an important safety factor for motorbikes, 90% of motorcycle accidents occur when there are no horns installed on the bike or they are not working.
Apart from horns, properly fitted helmet is necessary for motorcyclists to have the legal status of riding a motorcycle. Consequently, many street bikes do come with horns. Unlike cars or trucks, horns are aimed at warning others.
Do motorcycles have horns all around the globe? Most countries use horns as security measures. Like in Italy, the horn is necessary when riding up a steep hill on the zig-zag road with little visibility for oncoming traffic on the narrow road with blind spots.
Whereas in America, road users use horns to improve road conditions and life expectancy. This is noise pollution therefore in Japan, there is no point in honking the horn.
Motorcycles can help you reach your destination quicker than any other vehicle. In other words, motorcycles choose narrow road conditions as a means of fast travel. But it won't be long without the horn on that narrow road.

How Loud Are Motorcycle Horns?
The most efficient motorcycle owners will generally have better quality horns but it can take longer to make them sound as a whole and can also be tricky to replace them.
A strange twist in reverse logic lays a rule: if a car is small, horns should be quieter. Think about it: large 18-wheelers have horns as loud as those on trains and the horn from a scooter sounds like a gnat whose head would be touched when you landed.
Riding a motorcycle without a horn button is very dangerous. It may cause accidents, while on the road, you may be in a blind spot for other motorists and vehicles.
As mentioned above, horns are as necessary as properly fitted helmets are for a biker. Following are the statements which show why horns are useful for a motorist.
The motorist needs a horn installed to navigate through the crowd by alerting them. They can press the horn switch to show their presence on the road.
All vehicles have a blind spot, especially in rearview mirrors which can make it hard to locate other vehicles and motorists. By using a horn one can show their presence in a blind spot and alert the other vehicles and motorists about their next move.
Motorcycles are fast traveling vehicles because they navigate through narrow spaces and reach a destination quicker by avoiding traffic. At times these narrow spaces are blind to other vehicles. For instance, while riding up a mountain, it is difficult to locate the other vehicle on a turn. A motorist can use his horn to notify and alert the other vehicle about their presence.
You can use horns to ask pedestrians walking on the road to make way for you while you are riding a motorcycle.
You can use a motorcycle horn to alert road users and prevent a road accident.
When you press the horn switch on your motorcycle, it enables the electromagnet inside the bike which pulls the diagram to ensure the movement of a few touch pins. The detachment of the electromagnet from the steel and the pulling off of the diagrams make the horn sound.
The earliest motorcycling wheels were merely recycled bicycle wheels with squeeze bulbs. Take out the horn button icon and you will find something small and buggy.
Later Klaxons were made with electric or hand-powered awoooga horns (awoooga! A spring steel diaphragm vibrates excitingly. Klaxon's name comes from Greek roots (which is roughly translated to "Scream!").
There will be similar diaphragms in the motorcycle today, over a hundred years later. The cheaper, smallest, and most popular choice, for now, would be round diaphragms.
It is certainly difficult to travel on highways. Motorcycles are lighter and faster. Overtaking on bikes is extremely common and for this, a horn is mandatory. If a passenger approaches the car from behind it must be detected by the horn and the driver must then attempt to avoid it.
One can't ride bikes without horns. In addition, the road is the most dangerous route when a person travels through narrow streets with many pedestrians. You will remain stuck on narrow streets for hours, and pedestrians will be less concerned.
To make way, a horn is used to alert the pedestrians walking on the road to give a pathway to the motorists instead of pressing the front brake again and again.
Most motorcycles are built according to a standard set. For instance, a headlight is placed behind the rear wing to ensure motorists are easily spotted by other vehicles.
While the horn switches are located on the handlebar, few motorcycles feature them at the top left and some at the top right.
It is quite important to locate your motorcycle horn. In the case of horn damage, it is possible to make the repairs yourself.
A motorcycle's horn can have up to 130 decibels. Only 'Screaming Banshee' offers the most reliable sounding instrument at 131 DB. The installation procedure is straightforward.
A visual arts platform is incorporated with Banshee Visual Art System (BVAS), which attracts distracted motorists.
The horn is also divided into 2 types, friendly and angry. It can give a beep when you push the switch and it will emit a loud sound which is called angry mode. You can opt for that mode of horn sound level which is suitable to your liking.
The horns are measured in 2 ft., 10ft. or 20 ft. (about 1, 3, and 6 m respectively). The above readings were calculated after thorough testing of the motorcycle horn. To conduct the measurement of horn sounds following procedures were followed.
A variety of horns were used and the average was then calculated based on the obtained results. The horn was tried at various places with different intensity levels such as on an open road.
The above measurement sets were taken using a bike on the roadside of an open road in the open air.
Harley is a legendary bike. When someone does something on Harley, they want the attention of everybody. The horns used by cruise ships are unique. Their stock horn has an output that'll sound 130db. It's surprisingly large. Such horns are mounted on Harleys.
A motorcyclist who is an attention seeker must travel confidently in the streets with a loud horn. Everyone has to be moved when they hear it. Your horn should be audible for other motorists and vehicles to locate you while riding and in any case of emergencies.
Hella is a top-class manufacturer of high-quality horns. The company also provides horn horns for two horns in nearly all cars. The specialty is two-horns high & low. The horns together produce 118 decibels which is noisy and irritating.
The car horn can be used both on roadways and in urban areas. In addition to 'HELLA', there are other popular horns heard by experienced riders namely the 'Universal' horn. Its typical horn is very good on highways.
Most cars have a single horn, while a large number of motorcycles have one, which can make their motorcycles a little more annoying compared to other vehicles. Occasionally there are also two horns on motorcycles – most commonly cruiser or tourer.
Two-tone beeps are generally easier to detect over ambient road noise and the manufacturers are intentionally incorporating horns for the same louder and better-sounding sound.
It is possible to add another horn to your bike. You can also use relays to protect the stock wiring unless the amps you use are larger than the limitation in your original wiring harness.
With motorcycles gaining popularity, there's a greater amount of road riding on the road. There's less safe to ride an auto or bicycle.
Even with experience, riding motorcycles can be dangerous for any rider. The bike is fast. You need to stay focused on the road ahead of you because it is very hard to get there.
If you ride a motorcycle you should also keep an eye on other riders who are ahead and near you. It'd be impossible to locate someone who hits another cyclist on the road without alerting the other motorist with a horn.
To prevent the situation from happening, you will be using motorcycle horns. All motorcycles have factor-built horns. Below are a few top-quality horns:
Marco Tornado ($55.78): Its 139 decibels makes it one of its most recognizable horn models. This device offers a very good appearance and excellent performance. Marco Tornado uses internal compressors to generate electrical electricity using a 12Va power supply.Ideally placed during the installation, the speaker can be comfortably positioned for your ears, but not for the driver or cyclist who is near you.
Hella 3AG Twin Tone Horn Kit (41.555$) – Another super loud horn. Hella 3AG is your best choice. Its black metal body includes black grilling with red colored grilling to ensure safety.
A stock horn is mounted on a GT100. This sound is similar to Roadrunner's extended beeps such as 'MMMMeeeeeeeeeeeeee'. This doesn't sound as loud as Stebel Magnum horns that are very reminiscent of Fiamm Freeway Blaster. At 86.4 dB, a GT1000 horn ranked slightly louder.
A loud horn can save a man's life. Are there problems? Well, noise pollution!
Many manufacturers install horns that may seem harmless but may not be enticing to the user in any situation. Most cyclists are looking at changing their original horns to aftermarket horns.
However, the horn brand has the pre-built wiring cable ready to be installed, which eliminates cutting the wire on motorcycle wiring. The Murph kit offers an extremely well-designed single-horn harness. RevZilla has similar technology.
The standard dual-horn Ducati GT1000 horn is mounted above the rear headlight and is directed straight ahead. It is probably the best place to install horns on bikes.
Most motorcyclists have horns hidden beneath bodywork and/or facing downward. motorcycle horns can be positioned behind the rear fender.
All of these things would significantly decrease perceived volumes. To determine if the volume was accurate, the horn was mounted in a forward-facing position with the horn open facing the microphone in a digitized position.
Mounting is an issue when using these horn replacement parts, particularly the Nautilus horn. If your bike doesn't use a relay to hold a horn, you will need a new horn bracket. We had some dual horn relay wiring harness kit purchased from Eastern Beaver for this review.
However, to be honest, for the GT1000 we could easily use a factory harness that uses relays since there is no place to put the harness.
Here's the best advice: don't depend on horn descriptions on retail sites. The description was either incorrect, misleading, or deceptive regarding the horn's stated volume.
Nippy Norman in England lists this Stebel Magnum with 138 DK! Not only are the levels below the list on the Stebel Magnum Package (115dB) about 14 DB above pain thresholds and just beyond the limits if they can permanently damage — 139dB is also the recommended sound level.
Most horns are found on the rear half of the bike, often under fairings/coils.
Motorcyclists are loud because of their muffler size, the length of their pipes, and lack of residence time, air and exhaust are slowing and the engine is open for air with no cylinders.
The strongest horns are air and trumpets like Wolo (519) or GAMPRO which can be as loud as 150 decibels. These are most frequently found in larger bicycles. It would help to use smaller bikes with horned diaphragms and snail horns.
As discussed above, it is clear that the horn is an essential gear for a motorcycle. To navigate through the road and notify other vehicles while you do so, motorcycle horns are required.
Many motorcycles have horns installed in them from the factory. They have a standard horn switch that is not too loud. If you wish to make your current horn louder then you can switch it with a good horn having higher sound levels.
There is also an option of dual horns available in motorcycles. One horn is low intensity while the other has higher intensity. You can use either based on your needs. The mounting location of the horn is at the handlebars to produce higher sounds.
Drivers prefer using a loud honk to alert other drivers of their presence. Small cars and motorcycles opt for a horn of a truck. The main reason behind this they want to seek attention from road users. For more information, please refer here to find out why motorcycles have horns.

Travelling Shieldmaiden
Location: In a world of magic and mystery
Smiling as Rosalina hugged him, Darius quickly returned her embrace. "You are welcome Ro," he said softly. "And you are the most important person to me as well," he said softly. "Now, my dear, are you hungry?" he asked her as he turned his attention back to preparing their meal.
"Calista, what is it?" Gareth asked her as he caressed her face lightly. "Something is troubling you sweet maiden. I can see it in your eyes."
"It's nothing. Just some stupid meddlesome fears," she remarked with a shake of her head.
Chuckling Gareth just pulled her close to him and held her in a warm embrace. "I think it is sweet of you to be concerned, but you should not worry so much, it causes you to frown too much and I would rather see you smile," he added as he pulled back slightly and tilted her chin up to his face.
Chuckling lightly, Calista gave him a gentle smile, her love for him shining in her eyes.
"There, that's better," Gareth remarked as he tenderly caressed her cheek.
AWESOME set by the AMAZING Lembas!!!

Rosalina nodded and sat beside Darius, leaning her head on his shoulder. "I wish it could be the two of us forever." she said absentmindly. It was true, ever since she met Darius she never wanted to leave his side unless she had to. And he was always there for her.
Where do you go when your running away,
The cost of stopping is too great to pay.
~Amanda (saw this written in a washroom stall at a movie theater)
Finishing up with the meal, Darius served Rosalina first before serving himself. "So do I," he replied to her absentminded statement, smiling as she placed her head against his shoulder. "But unfortunately we cannot stay here for long. The village of Andestea is not far from here. We may be able to rest there for awhile before setting out again to find somewhere a bit more secluded," he remarked gently.
Knowing that he had to leave, Gareth reached for her hand and raising it to his lips, gently kissed her knuckles. "Do not worry, dear maiden. I shall return. For I have something to come back to, you." he said softly.
Hearing his words, it took everything within Calista not to scream out what her father wanted to do---an action which she thought would doom them both.
"Just try to stay out of trouble while I am gone," he teased her, wanting to keep the mood light.
Chuckling in spite of herself, Calista just gave him a tender smile. "Well you had better hurry back since I can never seem to stay out of trouble for long," she joked back a bit half-heartedly. Giving her one last smile and a small salute, Gareth turned to go.
"Gareth, wait." Calista called out to him. As he paused, she quickly rushed into his arms and standing on tip-toe, she wrapped her arms tightly about his neck and captured his lips with hers in a passionate kiss.
Rosalina nodded. "Darius?" She spoke, having him turn to her, she gave him a small kiss on the lips. "Thank you for giving me reason to live." she said with a small smile again, a light blush in her cheeks.
Turning toward her as she spoke his name, Darius was surprised when she kissed him lightly on the lips. "You are welcome," he told her softly, glad to at least see her smile after her tears. Finding her blush attractive, Darius leaned forward and kissed her lightly on the lips. "You are my everything, Ro. Never forget that," he said softly after pulling back.
Shocked at her actions, it took a moment for Gareth to respond. He had never expected her to kiss him as she did. She had always been a mild child who grew into a docile woman. Pulling her closer to him, he returned her kiss just as passionately as he explored every inch of her mouth as she did his. After a few moments, Calista had to draw back due to need to breathe. Suddenly realizing what she had done and how impulsive she had been, Calista felt her face flush crimson as she averted her gaze in embarrassment. "Oh, I'm sorry," she murmured, not sure what Gareth must think of her now.
Finding the moment rather amusing, Gareth could not help but laugh. "My dear lady, there is no need to apologize," he remarked with a charming smile. "You have just given me all the more reason to hurry back to you," he added, his grin widening as her blush deepened. Leaning forward, he kissed her once more before pulling back.
"Stay safe, my mage. May the heavens guard you well," Calista whispered as he turned to leave once more.
"Take care, sweetest maiden. And let the heavens shield thee while I am away," he remarked. He wanted to tell her that he loved her, yet he found that the words caught in his throat and would not dislodge themselves. All he could do was hope that she understood that his 'take care' truly meant 'I love you'.
Rosalina blushed again as Darius kissed her before she finished her food, not realising how hungrey she was. "We should douse the fire before moving on."
Smirking at Rosalina's blush, Darius did not make a comment as he finished his meal. "Yes, we should," he agreed. Making sure she was off to the side, Darius then morphed into his lion form and kicked enough dirt on the fire until it was out. Changing back into his human form, he turned toward her. "Ready to depart?" he asked her.
Watching as he used the wind to carry him away, Calista could only sigh, her heart heavy. She wanted to tell him of her father's plans for her, but couldn't knowing that he may do something reckless or be so distracted in his mission that he ended up getting himself killed. "Farewell, my love" she whispered to the air when he disappeared from sight as she absentmindedly raised a hand to her lips and traced them with her fingers, the memory of Gareth's lips upon hers forever burned in her mind.
Rosalina nodded. "Yes." she said as she gathered the bags and mounted Darius again. "I just hope they would have place for us to stay." She said as she held onto his mane.
In his hybrid dragon lion form, Darius merely nodded as he took to the skies. Flying with ease he arrived quickly to the outer edge of Andestea . Waiting for Rosalina to dismount, Darius just kept his sharp eyes fixed upon the village, not planning on going in until he was in his human form.
A loud crashing in the room snapped Calista from her musings. "Did I truly raise such an unscrupulous woman?" Daniel thundered as he hobbled into the room, a large wooden stick in his aged hand.
"Father-" Calista began.
"How could you? Kiss that mage of all things."
"He is not a thing, father." Calista said a bit meekly, her quiet voice barely audible. "And I love him," she added.
"Love him? LOVE HIM?" Daniel thundered. "It will do you well to remove him from your thoughts for he is not for you. Do I truly have a strumpet for a daughter?" he cried, causing Calista to wince at the word strumpet.
"Father-please.."
"Silence girl!" he commanded as he hit her with the stick, causing her to wince slightly as tears came to her eyes as she sank to her knees, but she said nothing more, merely taking whatever blows he wished to inflict on her. After hitting her several more times, Daniel tossed the stick aside and raised his head toward the sky. "Heavens, remove this thing---this willful, disobedient girl--- from my life by whatever means necessary," he huffed before turning away from her with anger in his aged step.

Rosalina dismounted and gathered the bags again. She sighed. "We are close Dary, close to being free." she looked at him.

Morphing back into his human form, Darius simply smiled down at her. "Yes, we are," he said softly before planting a gentle kiss on the top of her head. "Shall we, my dear?" he asked her, holding his arm out for her to take.
Lowering her head after her father left her alone yet again, Calista tried to stop her tears that threatened to flow once again, but could not do so. Now, she could only weep softly as her fingers dug into the rough floor. After some long moments, she finally pushed herself to her feet and headed outside to gather small stones. Over the years, she and Gareth had developed a secret code that no one else could understand. She could use the stones to leave her final message for him when he returned and she was gone, joined forever to a man she knew nothing of.
Rosalina took his arm, and hled it tightly as they walked into the town. Never had she seen such dwellings so close. Being a lords daughter she stayed in the castle keep unless she was driven by coach. "This place seems so humble." She commented as she looked around in amazment.
Smiling as Rosalina took his arm, Darius chuckled lightly at her comment as he scanned their surroundings. As they walked past, the villagers eyed them curiously. Ever since their headmaster had started to tax them heavily, they looked upon all strangers with suspicion. They had once loved their village leader until he suddenly grew hard after years of raids. His only child and daughter, however, they all still adored. Many a time with Gareth's aid, she had snuck out from her father's house-the largest and most opulent in the village though still very humble by a lord's standards-in order to sneak food and a few coins to many of the families to prevent starvation. Though she could not offer much, the villagers appreciated her efforts nonetheless, understanding the risk and sacrifice that she was making in taking food from her own home and giving away a portion of the money her father allowed her, which was not very much. It had been for her sake that they had resisted the urge to rebel though they would have loved nothing more than to be ruled by Gareth and Calista.
"Well, many things must look humble after living in a castle," Darius remarked quietly, noticing the stares they were getting from the people. Something is not right, he thought to himself though he did not voice it aloud. I sense much pain here.
Rosalina nodded. "Do you think they would help us until we moved on. I don't wish to be rude and over stay my welcome." She told Darius, but noted the look on his face. "Is there something wrong?"
Posted: January 1st, 2011, 11:35 pm
"They may offer some aid," Darius remarked as they continued to walk through the village. "We will need to talk with the headmaster and see," he added with a small shrug. Hearing Rosalina's question, Darius sighed to himself. "I am not too sure, but I can sense much pain here. I can see it in their stares," he remarked quietly. Which means we may not have a very warm welcome, he thought to himself though he did not voice his thoughts aloud.
After gathering the small stones and pebbles, Calista slipped them into the pocket of her plain blue cotton dress before deciding to work on the patch of land outside their home, wanting to put off getting ready to leave for as long as possible.
Rosalina nodded. "Alright, where would he live?" she asked, her training of how to meet leaders kicked in, as it had become nature to her. "Should we hide who we really are?"

A model raised $500,000 for Australia wildfire relief by sending nude photos to donors, she says
Jan. 6, 2020 at 12:52 pm Updated Jan. 7, 2020 at 7:31 am
Kim Bellware
Not all heroes wear capes. Some don't even wear clothes.
A Los Angeles-based Instagram model believes she's helped raise at least half a million dollars for Australian wildfire relief by offering her nude photos in exchange for proof of a charitable donation. Kaylen Ward, 20, told The Washington Post on Sunday that more than 50,000 people have taken her up on the offer since she posted it on Jan. 3 under the name "The Naked Philanthropist."
"I tried to see if I could get some of my loyal followers to raise some money," Ward said. "I maybe expected to get maybe a few thousand in donations from my followers."

Oregon firefighting plane crashes in Australia, killing 3 Americans
On Australia's Kangaroo Island, a fight to stay alive
How you can help the victims of Australia's wildfires
Animal deaths estimated at more than half-billion
In a not-safe-for-work tweet, Ward instructed her followers to send her their receipts or proof that they donated at least $10 to a designated charity such as the Australian Red Cross, Koalas In Care, and the Australian Lions Foundation. If the receipt appeared to be genuine, she'd send one nude photo for every $10 donated.
Ward said she had about 30,000 Twitter followers when she posted the offer; by Monday, she had more than 200,000.
Ward's fundraising efforts have largely been met with support; some people have tried to dupe her with doctored or duplicate receipts, but the vast majority appear to be genuine. The attention has triggered new headaches for her, though, and a spike in harassing messages, she sadi.
On Saturday, she said that Instagram shut down her accounts – @thenakedphilantropist, @nakedphilanthropist and @kaylenschaleenward – for violating its sexually suggestive content guidelines. It wasn't immediately clear which posts violated Instagram's guidelines. People have also created accounts posing as Ward and accrued tens of thousands of followers. Even though her own account has been taken down, Instagram hasn't banned the fakes, which have posted dozens of her photos over the course of a few days.
Since donors are sending money directly to the designated charities and not to a fund that Ward controls or distributes, neither she nor The Post could confirm exactly how much cash her act of naked altruism has raised. Ward shared with The Post several videos of her phone screen as she scrolled through hundreds of direct messages and receipts.
The response became so overwhelming that Ward drafted three people to help her manage and respond to all of the requests. Ward said Sunday that she's been "shocked" and overwhelmed by the response.
"It's so surreal and didn't feel like this could be happening," she said. "I'm so happy because it's really personal to me, and I wanted to see people making a difference."
Ward said reading reports about the wildfires spurred her to action having lived through the 2018 Carr Fire in California's Shasta County that killed at least six people and destroyed more than a thousand homes. The Carr Fire threatened her family's home, forcing them to take refuge on a houseboat. Her house was saved, but she said trips to Chico, where her then-fiance's daughter lived, put her in proximity to the Camp Fire, which would turn out to be the deadliest and most destructive in California history.
"We were driving to Chico to pick up my ex's daughter and the skies were purple and yellow and orange. It looked apocalyptic," Ward said. Even after the fires had extinguished, Ward recalled the smoky, eerie air over her home in Lake Shasta.
"You could see and smell the ash in the air. Over on Lake Shasta, everything was smoky," she said. "A month later, the sky was still gray."
Knowing how large the Australian wildfires are compared with California's 2018 wildfires put the crisis in perspective for her, she said.
Australia's fires are having a similar effect in the Pacifica region where the blazes are turning the skies orange over New Zealand, more than a thousand miles away.
Though there has yet to be a massive, coordinated charitable relief effort in the United States for Australia the way there was during natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina in 2005 or the Haiti earthquake in 2010, several celebrities and social media influencers are, like Ward, using their followings to drive donations. The singer Pink recently pledged $500,000 to local firefighting efforts, while several tennis stars, including Maria Sharapova, are donating thousands in relief after Australian player Nick Kyrgios pledged $700,000 to help his home country. Australian comedian Celeste Barber has raised nearly $20 million through a fundraiser on her Facebook page, according to Australia's News.Au.
Since Australia's fire season began in September, at least 24 people have died as more than 200 fires burn around the country in what officials are calling an "unprecedented" crisis.
Ward, who said she only recently added nude modeling to her portfolio, admitted she will probably have a hard time keeping up with the requests.
"I won't delete the original tweet," she said, "and regardless if people get a photo or not, I'd like them to keep donating."

Just a few days ago, my oldest lost another front tooth. It isn't his first and yet, with each baby tooth lost, he looks a little bit older. I look at this tiny tooth that we are putting under his pillow for the tooth fairy and I can't help but reminisce.
I remember the first time I saw that little chomper on my tiny 6 month old. I remember the many nights that tooth kept us all awake and the nearly 1000 times I've brushed it. That tooth made up the sweetest smile I've ever seen and enjoyed all the special donut runs we have made together. I love that little tooth.
These milestones are important. They make up the magic that is parenthood and childhood. But what happens when the traditions around milestones are different? Do you keep the old or embrace the new?
He ended up losing that tooth on the bus ride to school. His school counselor told me that in Colombia there is no tooth fairy, say what? There is Ratón Pérez. He is a little mouse that brings coins in exchange for baby teeth. Harmless enough.
Learning what customs to introduce and what to leave behind can be sensitive. We feel attached to our versions of childhood experiences and yet we moved to another place to teach our children the many ways people live around the world. I found this book where the Tooth Fairy and Raton Perez learn to work together, bridging the gap. I appreciate being able to integrate this experience while keeping hold of some of those traditions. It helps our kids understand our host culture, be familiar with the references that other kids may mention. It also gives our kids an opportunity to discuss differences, be them small for now.
