This 1982 Corvette Berlina is from the era of the late 70's and early 80's of the neo-classics. Many different companies at that time were building cars similar to this one but were not factory built. This actual car was built at a factory in Pompano Beach Florida by Phillips Motor Car Company and then distributed through new GM or Cadillac Dealerships back in the day. These "Berlina Coupes" came into the factory at Phillips Motor Company from the St. Louis Corvette assembly plant with no main body pieces and then the transformation began. Original MSRP was a whopping $80,000 when new way back in 1982! That alone in today's pricing would be equal to approx. $200,000! It is truly a one-of-a-kind automobile. Most people have never seen one of these cars and did not know they even existed. They were only built from 1979 through 1983. These were not considered a "Kit" type of car in anyway. These cars had an actual Corvette VIN # and it is titled as a "Berlina". The VIN # is 17 digits for this model year so a CarFax Vehicle History Report can be run on this car. I do have one that goes with this Berlina and does show the prior owner history and is clean and clear of no issues. There were originally going to be 500 of these cars built, however right after the developed and started building these unique cars, the C3 Generation ended and the C4 Generation started on the Corvette and this new Corvette was a complete new design and chassis so this concept was scrapped when the 1984 Corvettes came out in early 1983 and the company was no longer able to make anymore of these Berlina's. With that said they did not make the 500 they were hoping for and less than 100 actually did get built. Today there is fewer than 15 of these cars in this color combination and options. This was a elegant and unique color combination in Tuxedo Black With Dark Red Leather Interior. This was also a 1982 model Berlina and that had an optional "SE" model which this one is and stands for "Side Exhaust". This was very rare as the past models had the side mounted spare tire and wheels instead of this side exhaust look. The side exhaust in non-functional but really does make this car look nice. This Berlina is the nicest one you will ever find for sale or even in someone's personal collection. It is extremely rare and the quality of this vehicle is excellent throughout the inside and underneath. We have also done several nice touches to really finish this one off and it does come with an extensive amount of documentation right back to the original owner whom only lived about 75 miles from us.
Less Than 100 Ever Built, Only, 15,650 Actual Miles None Nicer! Feature Car In Vette Vues Magazine May 2013 Issue!
The world renown designer, Charles W. Phillips has captured the romanticism of the 1930's in the image of the legendary 540K Mercedes.
This Limited Edition automobile was created for the individual who has … ARRIVED. This modern road car, elegant in detail and unmatched in style, is capable of portraying an image of the "Golden Age" of motoring for TODAY'S driver who aspires after the romantic dignity and prestige of those yesteryears.
PHILLIPS MOTOR CAR with its meticulous attention to detail has created an automobile, with its long rakish hood, flair to its coachwork, luxurious interiors, and safety and emissions approval in all fifty states (Back then in 1982), that provides the knowledgeable buyer with a definite investment for the future.
The appointments, in combination with the superiority of the G.M. engine and chassis, contribute a final touch of Elegance to this Classic.
Born out of dream of perfection and introduced as an original design, not a mere replica, the BERLINA LEGEND has begun.
These "Berlina Coupes" had their frames stretched 22" to accommodate the long front fenders and body. There was also a special riveted "Phillips Motor Car Company" plaque placed on the driver's side door with the build date and detail of the car.
This particular Berlina was built in February of 1982 but still utilizes the carburetor and L-81 engine that would have been standard in the 1981 Corvette. The Berlina Coupe had all of the features and components of the Corvette from that year and all powertrain and drivetrain as well. This car can be worked on by most any mechanic shops as it does have mostly all GM components. Brakes, fuel tank, instruments, smog equipment are all GM parts from the Corvette.
The radiator was custom made however from Phillips along with the steering column that had to be stretched to accommodate the added length to the vehicle. Power steering hoses were also custom made to the length needed to function properly.
The entire body structure is made of fiberglass with metal reinforcements along with double walled inner linings of smooth fiberglass underneath the front fenders so any debris that might kick up from the tires will not crack the fiberglass and paint from the top sides of the finish of the vehicle. Most all of your "Kit" type of cars will not have this double walled reinforcement protection. This is just another example why these cars were so expensive back in the day. They were built to perfection for that period of time and better than most for today's standards.
This Berlina does have the optional 4-way Driver Side Power Seat, Leather Seating Surfaces, Cruise Control W/Resume, Power Door Lock System, Power Radio Antenna, and the optional Cassette Player.
There were 11 different colors available on these Berlina's along with 6 different interior color choices.
Our dealership purchased this Berlina back in September of 2012 with the miles at that time of 14,674. The first of many things that we did was remove the older tires and replaced them with these new GoodYear whitewall radial ones. These tires totally change the way the car drives and handles and makes for a nice cruising car down the highway. The chrome wire wheels are the original ones and were still in great condition for the age. We did spend a several hours polishing every single spoke and they do look very nice! This car for the most part was kept inside in a climate controlled environment so there was little to no corrosion on any of the parts on this car. Most of these cars the wheels are so rusty and gone that they need replacing but not on this one!
From what information we have and gathered, the car has had about three owners since new and the second one being a car museum and dealership. This Berlina was originally purchased new at Bob Moore Cadillac Inc. of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on April 21st, 1982. The dealership is still in business today. The miles that were on the car when new was 1,727 so obviously the owner of the dealership drove this car most likely in parades and events to not only show it off but also draw customers into their dealership to purchase a vehicle I would assume. The original owner was Wayne Savard of Joplin Missouri and sadly has passed away in 2011. The car ended up at a classic car business and museum in St. James Missouri for many years until October of 2004 where then the car went to the St. Louis area of Chesterfield Missouri until we purchased it from that owner in September of 2012.
The car had around 11,000 actual miles in 2004 and had only 14,674 in 2012 when we purchased it. The car currently has 15,650 actual original miles as of March 2018. Me and my father actually looked at this car back in the early 2000's when the car was on display at that museum in St. James. My father wanted the car at that time but could never strike a deal with the owner. After a year or so we went back to that museum to find out that it did sell so we decided it wasn't meant to be. So for several years after that we kept looking for another Berlina that could come close to that one and the condition but never had any luck. Some 10 years later after it had sold in 2004, I was surfing the internet for cars and came across a site that was dedicated to an Easter Day Car Show In The St. Louis area. There were several photos of different cars and crazy enough I seen a photo of a black Berlina that looked exactly like the one we had seen in that museum. I also noticed a small For Sale By Owner sign displayed in the front windshield. I was able to zoom in on the picture and read out the 314 phone number. I knew right away that this had to be that same car we had seen 10 years ago. This car was never advertised or listed for sale on any websites or magazines and once we pursued the car and called the owner, he stated that he then just decided to take it to that show and put a For Sale sign in it. It must have meant to be after all of those 10 years. We ended up with the car several months after we had talked with the owner and the rest is history so they say. This has been the owners personal car since 2012 and now he has decided to let someone else enjoy it as much as he has these past 6 years at many local car shows, cruise-nights and car events. Let me say it does get nothing but attention and compliments from young to old. It is something that no one else will have at any of your car shows and events. Show stopper everytime.
We do have an extensive amount of paperwork and documentation that all comes in two separate three ring binders. One binder has all of the original documents and the other three ring binder has all of the receipts that we have spent on the car from the past 6 years. Documentation includes several brochures from Phillips Motor Car Company, original dealer warranty book with the original owners name and information with the Berlina Logo on the actual warranty book, original pre-delivery inspection sheet with also the Berlina Logo, original small folder that your documents came in with the Berlina Logo, sales brochures, original owners manual and Delco radio manual, copies of original patent that Phillips Motor Car Company had to have and assembly manual of the break down of the panels and parts, several pages of the story behind the concept of the Berlina, original consumer information brochure, original tire brochure, original warranty registration from Phillips Berlina that has never been filled out, original 1981 GM general maintenance brochure, original sales brochure for the 1981 model Corvette, original build sheet, window sticker, invoice, both sets of keys, CarFax History Report, T-Top Storage Bags, original jack and lug wrench, huge bag that both t-tops can be stored in and is a carrying type of bag, two small signs for car show events displaying in detail about this Berlina and the concept behind it, inspection slip from previous owner, purchase information from previous owner, odometer statement on the miles from previous owner, previous title copy, and the list goes on. This car is very well documented and more paperwork than any Berlina you will ever see!
This car was also featured in VETTE VUES Magazine May 2013 issue with a complete detailed article about this actual car in a 9 page spread. We also have two copies of that issue that go with the sale of this vehicle.
The paint on this Berlina is very nice. From the best of our knowledge is is mostly original. The car has a nice shine with no swirl marks. The finish on the door jambs and other small areas is much better than the factory paint that came on the Corvettes from that year. The Phillips Motor Car Company spent many more hours prepping the body and getting all of the door gaps, and panel fitment to the best they could. This Berlina has little to no nicks or chips in the paint and is a strong 8 out 10 on a scale being 10 the best.
The interior for the most part is also original to the car and is in "Like New' condition. The carpeting, door panels, and dash assembly is all original including the instruments where you can see the "Berlina" logo. The car has no odor nor has ever been smoked in. We did remove the original seats and installed these newer ones you see out of a 1999 model C5 Corvette. They were already finished in Firethorn Dark Red color that was only used from 1997-1999. The color matches almost perfectly as you can see and they are more comfortable and sit better than those stock original ones. The seats have little to no wear on them. We did have the driver's side power seat switch fixed up like the original one so it simply unplugs if ever needed to remove it. The entry and exit of the vehicle is also much easier with these seats and they both have the nice Corvette logo plus gives those that don't have a clue that it just might be a Corvette. The seat bracket attachments came from Mid America Motor Works so these seats do fit like factory. We also installed the nice wood grained steering wheel, engine turn aluminum accents on the dash trim, center console, gauge cluster and the glovebox door. This added touch does give it that 1930's era where you would have seen something similar on those model of vehicles. The original dash trim accents were of wood grain finish and we did still save those original pieces along with the original leather wrapped Corvette style steering wheel and those items do go with the car. The original horn button with the Berlina logo did work nicely with that wood wheel that we installed. The rear carpeting along with all of the front carpeting is as new condition. We did purchase a set of new carpeted floor mats that match and do have nice clear floor mat covers over them when driving. Another nice touch is we added on the side console covers that extend all the way back running on both sides of the console, done in nice dark red leather. The original sides of the console were all carpeted and we did save those but it looks much nicer done in leather. We also chrome plated the striker latches on the door jambs, chrome plated the door sill plates, and added clear protective covers over the carpet to help from scuff marks or damage to the carpet from entry and exit. These clear covers have been dyed the dark red color on the back side so they will never scratch. Just several of the many nice accents and touches we did to this Berlina to set it apart from others. The glass and all the trim around the windows is excellent and original to the car. No discoloration at all. All of the gauges are nice and crisp with no fading or dust behind the lenses. It has been kept inside and only driven on occasion.
We did remove the spare tire carrier and wheel for more of a view of that nice polished out chassis. I did save those parts as well and go with the sale of the car. Going to the road if you are behind this car you can see that detailed chassis otherwise with the spare tire carrier in place it would cover all of that up.
We also changed out the original painted t-top roof panels to the new dark colored glass t-top roofs which give it more of an open view when driving. I do have those original painted tops so you have best of both worlds. The underside of those painted tops have the nice dark red liner which also makes for a nice accent when inside the car. These new tops came from Melrose Tops and do fit just like the originals and come on and off easily. Several things we did do to the chassis on this Berlina such as the tie rod ends, oil pan and transmission pan, strut rods, etc that was all saved and do go with the sale of this car.
This Berlina basically looked just like a stock 1982 Corvette from underneath and since this car is so unique and different we decided to give it a first class touch. The underneath was real clean and honestly did not need bushings or parts even replaced but we decided when we disassembled the chassis to replace everything anyway. We did use all polyurethane bushings when installed those components back. I would like to add that the car was never driven in any inclimate weather since new nor has been since all of this chassis details have been completed. We did service the car and replace all of the fluids including the anti-freeze coolant, oil and filter, all brake fluids, transmission fluids, and the rear end grease. This was all done in 2015 and we just serviced the car again in 2018. Close to $15,000 was spent on this chassis alone to get it to this level. Most all of the work was completed in late 2014 and early 2015. We did remove the radiator and took it to a shop to have cleaned, all new radiator hoses were installed using the nice Billet style flex ones, the engine was untouched other than new spark plug wires and spark plugs, new distributor cap and retuned. We did remove the oil pan and replaced it with the nice polished aluminum one with fins and did that also on the transmission pan. All new one piece gaskets used. Also the engine was originally blue from the Corvette but we decided to paint it black. All smog equipment is still intact, original fin black valve covers still intact, aluminum factory intake manifold, and the air cleaner assembly is all stock Corvette. We did have the top piece of the air cleaner that covers the whole top side of the radiator refinished in a nice gloss black paint. We had several things sent off and professionally chrome plated such as the fan blade, fan pulley and crankshaft pulley, all hood latches and hood catches, power steering pump is new chrome plated, chrome air conditioning compressor cover, all hardware chrome plated, new chrome plated master cylinder, braided power steering line hoses, new chrome alternator and brackets, and the list goes on. The power brake booster is stainless and has been polished out to a show finish as well. Many new components replaced and originals saved. The upper and lower front control arms have been removed and powder coated semi-gloss back with all new bushings installed and the coil springs have been chromed. We did take one inch out of those coil springs so the car sits better and ride height in the front. The half shafts and drive shafts have been "Jet" coated like what you would see on headers. This coating is nice and accents the chrome. All new u-joints as well. We also did this coating on the front spindles. The brake calipers have been all replaced and painted in red with new cross-drilled and slotted brake rotors. Even the brackets that hold the front brake calipers on have been chromed. New brake lines as well. The rear leaf spring is the fiberglass-reinforced monoleaf one that came on the stock Corvette however we did remove it and refinished it in glossy black as well with a special paint that will not flake or crack when the spring flexes. Both front and rear bumpers have had chrome hardware installed. There is even a nice leather velcro cover that fits on the extension of the front bumpers and that is still intact! I have never seen another Berlina with that one them. The frame and underbody was just lightly cleaned and refinished as it did not need much at all. As you can see in the photos the frame is excellent with no pitting or rust. Very solid and is original to the car. The exhaust system was special ordered in all stainless steel and then we had it polished out. Even put a new catalytic converter back on the car and it even is polished. The system has the mufflers built into the twin pipes out the back giving the car a much needed better sound but not overly loud. Just a nice tone when driving down the road. The front tie rod ends are all new with chrome sleeves, all wheel bearings repacked, new chrome rear adjustable strut rods, the complete aluminum third member was removed and sanded smooth and polished out to almost chrome. That alone was a painstaking job. Gas tank cleaned and repainted, new Bilstein chrome shocks front and rear, rear trailing arms removed and completely gone through, nothing overlooked at all in anyway. I do want to stress that this car did not need any of these things rebuilt or redone, but being a car that we were not looking to sell right away we wanted something to show and display at different car events. It is a labor of love when it comes to this chassis. We did use all Lucas fluids on the car and had it completely realigned after this was done. I would not be afraid to get into this car and drive it on a road trip if desired. Always starts right up with no overheating issues. We have driven this car now with all of the work done and is ready to enjoy! We did leave the exterior mostly stock with the exception of the exterior mirrors. We used 1956 style Ford Thunderbird ones which gives it a much better look than the stock style ones. Again the original ones we saved and no extra added holes were drilled to accommodate the new style ones. Another nice touch was the rear inner fender wells were of an undercoated type of finish and they are removable, so we used that truck bed style coating on them. This way they will never need to be touched up and being as tough as that coating is, there will never be any debris from the road damaging the inside of the rear inner fender wells. We also did add LED bulbs to the tail lights for much better looks and visibility.
Everything works on the car including the wipers, lights, power windows, back up lamps, heater and defroster, a/c, instruments, windshield wipers, driving lights, etc. I would not be afraid to even use the car in parades at idle for long periods of time.
No Disappointments is this Vehicle!

Pe'er battles through while Obziler loses
Day of mixed success for Israel at the Australian open; Pe'er and Sela advance to round two.
By ALLON SINAI

It was a day of differing fortunes for the Israelis competing in the first round at the Australian Open on Monday. Shahar Pe'er and Dudi Sela advanced to the round two, but Tzipi Obziler and Harel Levy were already sent packing after the first day of the tournament in Melbourne. Pe'er, who is ranked No. 17 in the world, won the first set against Renata Voracova (107) 6-2, but got herself into a little trouble after dropping the second set by the same score line. The 20-year-old Israeli, would, however, come back with a vengeance and claimed the third set 6-0 on her way to a second round meeting with Jessica Moore (376). The Australian, who got a wild card to the season's first Grand Slam, surprised American Julie Ditty (101) 6-3, 6-2. "I didn't play well today," Pe'er said on Monday. "The first round is always tough and it takes time to find your rhythm. I'm happy I won as that was the goal and I hope to improve with every round I play. "I improved my play in the third set. I was aggressive and I mixed up my shots. There were a lot of Israelis and Jews in the crowd and I really enjoyed playing in front of them. I have a rest day on Tuesday and I will train and prepare for the next round." Reflecting on her upcoming match, Pe'er added: "I don't know much about Moore, but I'll speak to some of the other players and coaches and try and collect as much as information as possible." Sela (66) cruised to the second round on Monday, defeating Austrian qualifier Martin Slanar (277) 6-2, 6-4, 6-2. The Israeli broke in the first game of the match and was comfortably ahead throughout the encounter. Next up for Sela is a far tougher challenge in the figure of Ivo Karlovic. The giant Croatian (2.08 meters) defeated Britain's Jamie Baker 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (1), 6-4. Harel Levy (160), who came through three rounds of qualifying to reach the main draw, stumbled at the first hurdle on Monday, losing 6-4, 6-2, 6-1 to Italian Andreas Seppi (48). Levy got off to an outstanding start, breaking twice and taking a 4-0 lead. But he lost the next nine games on the trot and fell into a deficit from which he could not recover. Obziler (81) was a massive underdog against 11th seed Elena Dementieva and unsurprisingly lost 6-2, 6-2 to the Russian on Monday. Dementieva claimed the first five games of the match and is on course to face Pe'er in the third round of the tournament. On Tuesday, Evgenia Linetskaya (584), who reached the fourth round of the Australian Open in 2005 as a Russian, will play Luxembourg's Anne Kremer (84) in the first round in what will be her first appearance on tour as an Israeli.

Modern China's Revolutionary Dream
May 9, 2016 | Chinese Politics | 0 |
Xi Jinping may now no longer, at least in the Chinese state media, be referred to by the overly familiar "Uncle Xi" (Xi Dada) label. He has been upgraded to "Commander in Chief," as from late last month. Even so, in a sense all of these labels — and the copious commentary they inspire — are a big distraction. Away from all the titles and various superficial paraphernalia of leadership China now has, the real story is what Xi's relationship with the Party he leads might be, and how he sees that relationship four years into his time as China's contemporary paramount leader (about the only title that does capture the complexity and ambiguity of his position).
We do know that Xi has spent huge resources and expended political capital on internal Party matters – on trying to iron out its ill discipline through the extended anti-corruption struggle, on unifying and nailing down its current ideology (the four comprehensives, from last year) and in trying to devote effort and time to "party building." His first words when emerging as Party leader in November were about how the Party needed to reconnect with the people, closing the gap between those ruled and those doing the ruling. It seems remarkable that he could have made such forceful and unambiguous statements so early without a large measure of support among former and current members of the elite. One possibility is that some of them mistook his words for rhetoric, rather than a declaration of real intent, but some, perhaps the majority, must have agreed with what he said.
Xi Jinping's relationship with the Party is crucial. But it is not a straightforward one. The Party is no longer the partially guerrilla fighting force led by largely rural figures with a living memory of fighting for its survival as it was under Mao. It has undergone almost four decades of its own parallel reform and transformation since 1978. Its 88 million members are more like citizens of a state within a state than ever before. They are better educated, more professional, and often sound more like executives of a major corporation than a Marxist force with roots deep in revolutionary struggle and class war. This gives the misleading impression that today's Party members have wholly turned their back on all the things that were done and believed in by Party leaders, and membership, before 1978 and the start of the great social and economic transformation.
Xi's political personality, his ambition, and the context in which he is best understood, are all inextricably mixed up and linked with the Party, and with its own sense of mission. Seeing him outside of this framework, and not understanding his relationship with the extraordinary political organization he leads, is a mistake. Not that this is easy. The Communist Party of China is an anomaly, which sometimes looks like a thing from another era. How can it truly be in charge of perhaps the greatest single effort to forge modernity in a developing country — perhaps in any country — the world has ever seen?
There is a bedrock of principle that the Party clearly does honor from its history, despite the vast changes noted above. This is something that it holds in common with Communist Parties generally. The fundamentals of this faith were powerfully spelt out in Arthur Koestler's great classic from 1940, Darkness at Noon. The elderly cadre Rubashov, freshly felled from power and reflecting in jail before his execution, tells one of his interrogators that "the Party can never make a mistake. You and I can make a mistake," he goes on, "Not the Party. The Party, comrade, is more than you and I." In words eerily reminiscent of those used by current leaders in China today, he states that "the Party is the embodiment of the revolutionary idea in history. History knows no scruples and no hesitation. Inert and unerring, she flows towards her goal… He who has not absolute faith in History does not belong to the Party's ranks." Even in Mao's era, and right down to today, that stands as a remarkably accurate, and concise, statement of unchanging belief.
For Commander in Chief Xi, and his fellow leaders, History still has an irrevocable flow, and there are still revolutionary ideas that need to be served by the Party. The principle idea, it is true, is no longer the delivery of Maoist Utopia through class struggle. But it is achieving a great, powerful, rich modern country, one which has been restored to its central position in the world. That is a revolutionary idea because for much of the last century and a half it has been seen as impossible, or something which will happen decades, or even centuries into the future. It is also revolutionary, because it is an idea which will subvert the current international order, led by liberal democracies with the United States in the forefront. Finally, it is revolutionary because no other one party Marxist state has ever achieved anything like this, sustainably at least. The USSR's moment of primacy was short lived. Xi's China, of course, wants to be different.
It is clear that the current leaders of China do regard the revolutionary historic goal for which the Party is the key means of achievement as within grasp. They also know how easily these things can falter, tumble, and disappear. Through anti-corruption, media management, and tough social restraint, the world outside sees repression and shades of Mao. But the message within is different: that these measures are all unfortunate but necessary parts of the delivery of the great goal. Disciplined cadres, dissidents, and others are no doubt at this very moment having the logic of this harshness spelt out to them. The Party, for the good of the country, has no other choice, they are being told. It is not about the Party's power, or Xi's power – but about the final deliverance of a just rectification for China, and for its renaissance as a great, modern, powerful country.
But there is one huge snag, to revert to Koestler's extraordinary book, which Xi in particular needs to bear in mind as this process marches forward: "For his own kind there was no textbook; everything had to be worked out." There is a reason why some things have never happened or been tried before; because they end up being impossible. That is the huge political gamble at the heart of the Xi leadership: in the end, is what he and the people around him are trying to do really possible?

Every person, who has already created a family, knows how hard it is to care about the kids, to spend enough time with a partner and to balance it all with a successful career life. It's even harder for Hollywood stars, but some of them, like Zooey Deschanel, easily fulfill her home duties and participates in new projects in the entertainment industry. How does she do it all?
Zooey Deschanel husband
Ben Gibbard (ex-husband)
photo instagram.com/deathcab4fatty
Zooey Deschanel said "I do!" twice in her life. We will speak about her second marriage a little later, and now let's focus our mind on her ex-husband Ben Gibbard. Zooey met Ben circa in 2006. They were introduced to each other by a musical manager, by whom two of them were signed. As the actress confessed later, it was love at first sight. At that time Zooey was the face of the band "She and Him", while he was the front singer of "Death Cab for Cutie" (an indie rock group). They tied a knot in September 2009 and during several years their marriage was considered as one of the strongest in Hollywood. But in late 2011 Zooey filed for divorce. The couple legally separated on December 12, 2012, but maintains amicable relationships.
Benjamin Gibbard is a celebrity. As a part of Death Cab for Cutie, he has released 9 studio albums and got 8 Grammy nominations. Soon after his separation from Zooey, he started dating a photographer Rachel Demy. They got married in 2016.
Jacob Penchenik (ex-husband)
photo twitter.com/ZooeyDeschanel
After her separation from the first husband, Zooey was single during a long period. That's why her fans were shocked when they heard that she got pregnant and was going to marry. The matter is she started dating a film producer (and former fintech entrepreneur) Jacob Penchenik in 2014 and they got married officially in summer 2015. That very summer she gave birth to the couple's first child – a daughter. After four years together Penchenik and Deschanel separated. Later Zooey explained that they can't remain life partners, but they still are best friends. They even have common business projects – the stars run the food companies "Lettuce Grow" and "The Farm Project" together.
Zooey Deschanel kids
Elsie Otter Pechenik (daughter)
photo twitter.com/elsieotter_
Elsie Otter Pechenik is the first daughter of Zooey and her ex spouse Jacob. The movie star and a celebrated producer managed to keep in secret the girl's date of birth and her name for several months, but finally, Ms. Deschanel-Pechenik confessed to journalists, that she named her daughter as Elsie Otter. Her then-husband and she liked the sweet name "Elsie" and both adored otters, whom they considered as smart and cute, that's why they gave their child such an original name.
Although the actress keeps her little girl out of the limelight, she eagerly tells about her in the interviews. Thus, it's known, that Elsie is a little fashionista, and she has her feeling of style, despite her young age. Besides, she doesn't like her mom's singing (unlike millions of Deschanel fans, who do).
Charlie Wolf Pechenik (son)
Date of birth: May 9, 2017
The second name of New Girl star's son is "wild", too. Probably, that's because Zooey likes animals very much, as she opened up in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres. Charlie made the actress even happier as a parent. She told that her little boy was very smart and she was so content to welcome him in her family.
Who are Zooey Deschanel parents?
Caleb Deschanel (father)
Joseph Caleb Deschanel is not an alien in the movie industry, too. He is a successful film director and cinematographer. His talent was proved by six Oscar nominations for the best cinematographic work.
He entered this world in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and has French roots from his father's side. After a high school, he entered Johns Hopkins University, where he made friends with Walter Murch, who later became a popular film director, too. With Walter, he transferred to the University Of Southern California and after graduation from there, he started the career of a cinematographer.
One of his latest cinematographic projects is an animated film "The Lion King", released in 2019. As a film director, he worked on several episodes of "Law & Order: Trial by Jury", on "Twin Peaks" etc.
During many years he has been happily married to an actress Mary Jo Deschanel and has two daughters with her.
Mary Jo Deschanel (mother)
Zooey's mother is her close friend and her role model. Her mother's full name is Mary Josephine Weir. She comes from USA but has French and Irish ancestry. The woman rose to fame for the first time in 1983 after depicting Ed Harris's screen wife in the epic drama "The Right Stuff". Her other accolades include the role of Eileen Hayward in the series "Twin Peaks".
Mary is not just a TV star, but also a proud mother of two daughters, both of which became famous actresses.
Zooey Deschanel siblings
Zooey and her sister Emily are very close. Besides, the New Girl actress is obsessed with her nephews – Emily's kids.
Emily Erin Deschanel is the elder daughter of Caleb and Mary. She was raised in Los Angeles and was educated at a prestigious Crossroads School. After graduating from there she Boston University, where she studied theater art, she debuted on the big screen in 1994 in the romantic drama "It Could Happen to You". The actress's name turned into a sensation after participating in the crime series "Bones", where she portrayed the leading heroine Temperance.
Emily is married to a writer and actor David Hornsby. They parented two sons, Henry and Calvin, in 2011 and 2015 respectively.
You may know Zooey Claire Deschanel as Jess Day from the series "New Girl". That role brought her lots of accolades and prestigious nominations. And she did a lot to achieve her career peak.
Zooey Claire Deschanel entered this world in a picturesque Los Angeles, CA. Her parents named her after the heroine of Jerome Salinger's story "Franny and Zooey". Like her older sister, she attended Crossroads School, where she made friends with the future movie actors Jake Gyllenhaal and Kate Hudson.
After school, she entered Northwestern University but didn't get a diploma, because she had to quit her studying. The reason for such a decision was a rapid start of her career in the movie and music industry.
She debuted in the late 1990s. Her first significant screen work was in Lawrence Kasdan's film "Mumford". Then she gained modest popularity after the release of "Almost Famous", where she depicted an 18-year-old flight attended, obsessed with rock music.
The next wave of popularity covered her in 2011 when the FOX channel presented the series "New Girl". Zooey portrayed the beautiful, but clumsy and unhappy teacher, who always gets in trouble. But her life changed after she had rented a room in the house with three handsome single men.
Now Zooey combines her career in the entertainment industry with motherhood and with her business projects.

Firefighters from South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue teamed up with Yorkshire Water to highlight the importance of water safety whilst showcasing their water rescue skills.
The specialist water rescue team from Aston Park attended Underbank Reservoir, Stocksbridge for Drowning Prevention and Water Safety Week.
Just next to the open water sports centre, the firefighters demonstrated a general boat rescue as well as other techniques such as floating walkways and line bagging.
The purpose of this demonstration was to highlight the dangers associated with open water, especially as Summer approaches.
Around 400 people needlessly drown in the UK every year and thousands more suffer injury, some life changing, through near-drowning experiences. South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue works closely with communities to educate them of the dangers surrounding open waters - a key part of their prevention work.
Area Manager Steve Helps, Head of Prevention and Protection at South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue said, ""We regularly receive 999 calls in the summer about people getting into difficulty in water, so it's only a matter of time before someone's safety is really put at risk unless people listen to our advice.

Nissan Qashqai Mk 2 review (2014-on)
The 21st century family car
THIS IS the replacement for one of the most popular family cars of modern times. When the first Nissan Qashqai was launched in 2007, no one, Nissan included, could have predicted how popular it would become. It went on to be embraced by the Mumsnet crowd and production at the Sunderland factory had to be doubled.
Search for and buy a used Nissan Qashqai on driving.co.uk
The first Qashqai was bought for its affordable pricing and running costs, practical cabin and easy-peasy driving experience. For this second-generation model, which went on sale this February 2014, Nissan set out to add more technology, make the cabin feel a bit posher, and improve refinement and comfort so that those long runs to visit the in-laws aren't such a hardship.
It offers seating for five only, whereas the last Qashqai had a +2 option, with a longer body that allowed for a pair of fold-down seats in the boot. If you need seven seats, says Nissan, a salesperson would be delighted to show you around the new X-Trail model.
There is still the option of four-wheel drive, but Nissan reckons it could count on one hand the number of drivers who ordered it for the old Qashqai. The range opens with the 1.2-litre, 113bhp turbocharged petrol (called DIG-T) in Visia trim, the most basic, costing £17,595. The popular 1.5-litre dCi diesel costs from £19,290, again in Visia spec. For more diesel power there is the 1.6 dCi, which raises output from 108bhp to 128bhp. It costs from £20,595 as a Visia model.
Anyone who is adamant they need four-wheel drive will have to pay through the nose for it, as it only comes with the larger diesel engine, pushing prices to £25,695. And if you want an automatic gearbox (in this case a continuously variable transmission, or CVT), it, too, is available only with the largest diesel engine, priced from £21,945.
First, the good news. The second-generation Qashqai feels a lot more grown up than the first. It is a more refined and comfortable car. Even the entry-level 1.5-litre dCi (tested here) proves quiet when started from cold, and impressively smooth and hushed on the motorway – noticeably more so than rivals.
Now the bad news. Don't expect perky performance. The 1.5-litre dCi four-cylinder diesel struggles to haul the 1,419kg weight of the two-wheel-drive Qashqai. What a blessing, then, that it's so refined (right to the red line), as you'll need to drop down from sixth to fifth gear on a motorway incline, while overtaking calls for more careful planning than usual. Nissan says it will accelerate from standstill to 62mph in under 13 seconds, and return as much as 74mpg. We say buy the more powerful but slightly less efficient (64mpg) 1.6-litre dCi instead.
It feels similarly unenthusiastic through bends, too. The new Qashqai rolls noticeably when pressed through corners but to its credit, the Dunlop tyres of our test car clung to the road determinedly, so there was actually no shortage of grip. The steering weighting can be adjusted but felt at its happiest in the lighter Normal setting, rather than Sport, which gets heavier but still gives the driver no sense of the amount of grip the front tyres have. A Mazda CX-5 is more enjoyable to drive.
The car's suspension deals with lumps and bumps in the road well, presumably in part thanks to dampers that feature a pair of pistons, one for low-speed comfort, the other for high-speed body control. And there were a number of driver aids fitted as standard to our (Tekna trim) test model which drivers will either appreciate or choose to do without (either by buying a lower-grade trim, or switching off).
These included lane departure warning, a useful guardian angel for long distance commuters but irritating for those winding along a typical B-road where it continually sounds its alarm. As for front collision avoidance, this warns the driver, via audible and visible alerts, that they're too close to a vehicle in front. In heavy traffic, where he who snoozes loses, this can become annoying. If they aren't needed, both can be switched off.
There is a problem with the new Qashqai's more rakish profile. Its window line kicks up like a Nike tick at the back, obscuring the driver's visibility. Over-the-shoulder vision is poor, which makes reversing or parking stressful. Nissan has attempted to address this by adding a reversing camera — Around View Monitor 360-degree cameras, if you like — and sensors that warn of other vehicles or objects in the Qashqai's blind-spots, but since when was any of this a substitute for clear sight lines out of a vehicle?
Technology also means the Qasqhai can park itself. All the driver has to do is initiate the setting within the safety shield system, indicate as they drive slowly past a parallel or perpendicular parking bay (giving sensors time to scan the vacant bay for size), pull to a stop, select reverse and control the clutch and throttle. The Nissan steers itself into the bay, and when we tried it, sure enough, the Qashqai was parked perfectly parallel to the bay's lines.
The Qashqai's overall impression of comfort is enhanced by a cabin that feels much plusher than the old model, and feels just as impressive as, say, an Audi Q3 or Volkswagen Tiguan.
There are neat touches, such as red mood lighting that runs around the centre console, and then there is the excellent quality of the plastics, attractive design and sheer number of swish gadgets. It's a pleasant place to spend time.
Is it a good family car though? That depends on your priorities. The full-length glass roof is great for star gazing, but would be even better if it could be opened on a sunny day. As it is, all you can do is open or close a sunshade. The cabin offers plenty of space for two adults in the front and a couple of kids or adults in the back, but the back seat is snug for three and the space lacks ventilation ducts.
If you find the front seats comfortable in the new Qashqai, thank NASA. Nissan's engineers replicated medical scanning techniques, pioneered by NASA, to analyse pressure and blood flow in the lower back. The seats certainly felt comfortable on a particularly grim two-hour commute.
The boot is the Qashqai's main weakness. By the time a pushchair is folded down into it, there is precious little space left for the travelling circus that is family life. It has a moveable false floor, but it doesn't make much difference and leaves a ledge if the rear seats are lowered. At just 430 litres, it's one of the smallest in the class. A Honda CR-V's boot, for example, will hold 589 litres. For buyers after a practical family car, that could be the Qashqai's Achilles' heel.

Q: How to show and hide a table column after checking a condition in every row in ng repeat loop angular js? I have a problem with show/hide column in a table with ng-repeat after checking a condition. Here is my code.

                    Fee Type
                    Fee
                    Capitalize
                    Amortize
                    Amortized Interest
                    Recurring Fee
                    Setting

                        <md-checkbox ng-model="amo.isApply" ng-change="GenerateFee_ChangeEvent(item.trialCalculation.listTrialAmortization,amo, item)" aria-label="Checkbox 1" ng-value="amo.isApply" ng-disabled="statusMatched == true"></md-checkbox>

                        {{amo.feeType}}

                        <input class="form-control" step=".01" ng-model="amo.fee" ng-readonly="statusMatched == true || amo.feeType ==='Stamp Duty'|| amo.feeType ==='Document Fee'|| amo.feeType ==='Introducer Fee'|| amo.feeType ==='Insurance Fee'" ng-disabled="amo.isApply === false"
                               ng-pattern="/[0-9.,]+/" format="number" type="text" ng-change="ResetAmortization_ChangeEvent(item.trialCalculation.listTrialAmortization,amo, item)">

                        <md-checkbox ng-model="amo.capitalize" ng-change="ValidateCapitalize_ChangeEvent(item.trialCalculation.listTrialAmortization,amo)" aria-label="Checkbox 1" ng-disabled="statusMatched == true ||  amo.isApply == false || amo.isCapitalizeEnable == false || amo.amortize == true"></md-checkbox>

                        <md-checkbox ng-model="amo.amortize" ng-change="GenerateAmortization_ChangeEvent(item.trialCalculation.listTrialAmortization,amo, item)" aria-label="Checkbox 1" ng-value="amo.amortize" ng-disabled="statusMatched == true ||  amo.isApply == false || amo.isAmortizeEnable == false || amo.capitalize == true"></md-checkbox>

                        <input class="form-control" step=".01" ng-model="amo.amortizedInterest" ng-disabled
                               ng-pattern="/[0-9.,]+/" format="number" type="text" ng-readonly="true">

                        <input class="form-control" step=".01" ng-model="amo.recurringFee" ng-disabled
                               ng-pattern="/[0-9.,]+/" format="number" type="text" ng-readonly="true">

                        <md-button class="md-fab md-mini md-primary inline-input" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#addincomemodal_{{$index}}">
                            <md-icon md-svg-src="~/Content/images/add-plus-button.svg"></md-icon>
                        </md-button>
                        Add New Fee Type

I need to show settings column if only if all the data rows should be checked a condition and at least one row is passed the condition. If any of data row is not able to pass the condition the settings column should not be shown.

A: Use a function in your controller to this. Loop through all the rows to check for the condition, set  $scope.shColumn = true when the condition is met.
In your HTML.

Steam Cream has been around for awhile and I've resisted buying it because I knew the tin was a tiny 75g for £10 (£10.50 with the VAT rise). So when I saw the 'Original' container on sale recently at Bath & Unwind for £6, I decided to go for it. Even when it arrived I was still shocked at how small it was. Maybe I would have felt like I got money's worth if it had been in a tube – who knows?
So let's start with what I like about SC. It's made in the UK which is plus points for me as you know I like to support British beauty brands. The steaming technology does give this a light, yet creamy texture that's easily absorbed into the skin and the hydration lasts all day. Because of the light texture this would make it pleasant to use in warmer months when I still like to moisturise my bod but don't like to use heavy creams. The SC website says you can use this on your face, body, and hands but I only used it as a body cream after showering. I also think it's great that it has an expiry date and this is due to the limited number of preservatives that are used.
You probably know what's coming next. I get that putting pure steam into the cream must take a bit effort and it really does moisturise your skin – I just don't think it's all the special. The fact that it comes in cute collectible tins really isn't a selling point for me and you know I love cute tins – you've seen my lip balm collection right? The scent has a faint lavender aroma which is border lining on old lady territory. Even though the texture is really nice and light, it can be quite runny when you apply it as you have to dip your fingers into the container.
If I could remake Steam Cream I would ditch the gimmicky tins for something with a pump and if they want to do limited editions why not different scents? I'm guessing the reason that the scent is neutral is so that you can use it as a face cream too. As the tin is so dinky I will finish it in the next week or so and I can always use it to store my paper clips at work.
Sorry Steam Cream, I just can't get hot and bothered about you!
Hey Suzanne – just read your review. Shame you and I can't go shopping together I'm sure we'd make a great team!

Q: Multiple reference lists in article class document I would like to have three different reference lists (these shall go to the appendix) in my document (article document class), i.e., one giving the list of first-author publications, the second the list of second-author publications, the third list of third or co-author publications.
\documentclass[12pt,oneside]{article}
...

\usepackage{natbib}
% \bibliographystyle{abbrvnat}
\setcitestyle{authoryear,open={(},close={)}} %Citation-related commands

...

\clearpage
\appendix
\section{First author publications (2017--2022)}

\nocite{*}
\lhead{}
\renewcommand{\bibsection}{}  %natbib
\setcitestyle{numbers} % set the citation style to ``numbers''
\bibliographystyle{frontiersinSCNS_ENG_HUMS}
\bibliography{references_habil_first}

\clearpage

\section{Second author publications (2017--2022)}
\nocite{*}
%\lhead{}
%\renewcommand{\bibsection}{}  %natbib
\setcitestyle{numbers} % set the citation style to ``numbers''
%\bibliographystyle{frontiersinSCNS_ENG_HUMS}
\bibliography{references_habil_second}
%\input{myrefs.tex}

...

\end{document}

It gives me something like this:
Multiple inclusions of entire database : \citation{* : }
Illegal, another \bibdata command : \bibdata : {references_habil_all}
How to manage this? Any help highly appreciated.
