As technology alters learning landscape at an ever-increasing pace, learning professionals are left to wonder how they can keep up. This is especially true when it comes to one of their most significant investments, content.
That's why we put together our some new rules for learning content. Check them out below.
According to Training Magazine's most recent annual report, the average hourly cost to develop any kind of training is $507 and the average eLearning course takes more than 100 hours to create.
With all the resources put into developing learning content, training departments shouldn't have to abandon all their existing materials in order to leverage more advanced platforms. Learning technology providers must honor the fact that developing quality content is difficult work. It is their responsibility to help clients audit and convert their existing content into an adaptive framework. Key to this process are sophisticated CMS tools and expert instructional designers, both of which make importing, organizing, editing existing content less onerous on the client.
The rise of MOOCs and nanodegrees underscores an important movement: learners want greater control over their learning. From subject matter to delivery methodology, today's learners have more options than ever before. And, for the first time, learners have strong opinions about how they want to engage with training content. While learners don't have much say over what is covered in training, they should be able to choose how they want to learn the content.
We've found that when learners are allowed to choose how they want to engage with the learning, their learning experience is more personalized and they are more invested. As a result, they exhibit higher levels of engagement and motivation – two key components for effective learning.
Microlearning can be an incredibly powerful tool for corporate training. Not only has science demonstrated its effectiveness, but it has also been proven out in the real world. But, as we've said before, it is a misconception to think of microlearning as merely breaking traditional learning into chunks.
It is the responsibility of learning technologies that leverage the methodology to provide a framework for "micro-sizing" existing content that incorporates the key concepts proven to deliver more effective training– such as mastery, learner engagement and optimal challenge.
In our field, content can be an asset or an obstacle. Which bucket it falls into often depends on the willingness of adaptive learning technologies to work with what's existing, listen to learner preferences and build upon trends with hard science.

Gradients are one of the most hotly anticipated features to become native to CSS. Gradients are vital for design in general to reproduce the effects of light falling on curved/shiny surfaces and create interesting patterns. The number of developers who use them in web design is staggering, if not unsurprising. What is a surprise is that until CSS3 came along, web developers never had the ability to create gradients programmatically in any sane way that would work across browsers. SVG had gradients for a long time before that, but IE never supported SVG until IE9.
All this time you've been stuck with either faking SVG in IE using a Polyfill solution like SVGWeb or using repeated background images for those gradients or repeating patterns you desired. This last technique works OK-ish but is an inflexible pain and can become cumbersome very quickly, especially if your boss keeps changing his mind about the gradient colors (more playing with Photoshop; oh goody) or if you are trying to create any kind of complicated layered effect.
Again, CSS3 comes to the rescue with linear and radial gradients, which are defined in the CSS Image Values and Replaced Content module (http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-images). To see how flexible CSS gradients are, just have a good play with the examples in this section.
Let's review the two different gradient types separately.
Linear gradients are the simpler of the two types; these are smooth color progressions that start at one side or corner of an area and cycle smoothly between two or more color stops, ending at the other side or corner.
In CSS they work the same. CSS gradients are basically a special kind of background image. You can set them in place of an image in most places that it would make sense to do so; for example, background-image and border-image (see the "Box Clever: border-image" section later in this chapter for more on border images).
Figure 4.12 shows the result, taken from an example file in the chapter4 code download folder called linear-gradient-test.html. The two colors are the start color in the gradient and the end color, and by default the gradient runs from the top to the bottom of the container.
Figure 4.12 A basic linear gradient.
This direction value makes the gradient travel from the top left to the bottom right (Figure 4.13).
Figure 4.13 A linear gradient direction can be varied via the use of keywords or degree values.
As you'd expect, you can use a whole range of logical keywords for gradient direction: to top, to top right, to right, to bottom right, to bottom, to bottom left, to left, to top left.
You can also specify the direction you want the gradient to travel in using an angle. Zero degrees (0deg) is the equivalent of to right; as you increase the angle, it travels around counterclockwise. So the subsequent equivalents would be 90deg = to top, 180deg = to left, 270deg = to bottom. Bear in mind that 135deg will not be the equivalent of to top left (as you might expect) unless the container is a perfect square: The diagonal keywords will change the angle so the gradient will always run from one corner to the other. As a result, you can choose keywords or angles, depending on the effect you want to create.
Note: The spec states that 0deg is the equivalent of the keywords to top, but browsers don't follow this currently. This could change in the future.
Figure 4.14 My gradient app allows you to quickly experiment with gradients.
The result is shown in Figure 4.15.
Figure 4.15 A gradient with multiple color stops.
The unit values specify the distance away from the start of the gradient. Note that the percentage values are optional: If you don't specify them, the color stops will be evenly spaced along the gradient.
This effect creates three solid color bands from left to right (Figure 4.16). The green color stop is set at 66px down from the top, and everything before it adopts the same color. The red color stop is set at 134px, and everything after it adopts the same color. I also inserted two white color stops in the middle to force the middle band to be completely white. This technique is very useful, especially if you want to start creating more intricate and interesting repeating background patterns, as you'll read about later in the "Multiple Backgrounds" section.
Figure 4.16 Italiano, pasta, meatballs, Roma Roma (well, not quite).
Figure 4.17 RGBA colors provide great control over gradients while blending them into their surroundings.
Here the gradient is a transparency gradient overlaid onto a solid background color to create the different gradient colors. This is a very powerful technique because it means you can control the look of an entire site section just by varying the background color. It's perfect if you want to vary the look of different pages on a site with minimum effort. Try it!
It's a good idea to always include a suitable background color in a separate property alongside your gradient, even if the gradient is not transparent. It acts as a good fallback mechanism for a browser that doesn't support CSS gradients, ensuring that content is still readable.
Figure 4.18 A simple repeating gradient.
Only 30 pixels' worth of gradient has been specified, but it is repeated over and over again until the end of the container is reached.
The linear gradient syntax was updated at the time of this writing—the keywords used to not include the to keyword, and mean the opposite direction. For example, to right used to be left. All browsers supported this at the time of publication, but you might come across an older browser that doesn't support the new syntax at some point.
This produces the result shown in Figure 4.19 (if you want to experiment with this code, download the radial-gradient-test.html file in the chapter4 folder).
Figure 4.19 A simple radial gradient.
Radial-gradient-app.html is also included in the code download: This works in the same way as linear-gradient-app.html but with different radial gradient presets plugged in. Use it to play!
The syntax is a little different than that of linear gradients, so let's go through the radial gradient syntax step by step.
The first two values in the syntax (50% 50% in the preceding code) dictate the location of the origin of the radial gradient: The first value is the horizontal position inside the container, and the second value is the vertical. In the preceding example, the radial gradient equates to 50% across from the left side and 50% down from the top, which places it slap bang in the middle of the container. As with linear gradients, you can use any unit values that make sense, even negative unit values.
You can also use keywords in place of unit values in the same manner as you learned earlier but with the addition of center if you want the horizontal or vertical position to be centered in the container (this doesn't make sense for linear gradients, but it does for radial gradients). Figure 4.20 shows a few examples.
Figure 4.20 From left to right:top left, bottom center, and right positioning of a gradient. When only one keyword is supplied, it is assumed to be the horizontal keyword, and the vertical one is given a value of center.
The second set of values in the radial gradient syntax (60% 60% in the example) dictates the size of the gradient—the horizontal and vertical radius size. Because you are working with the radius rather than the diameter, 50% or 60% will produce a nice spread across a container. 100% would be double the width/height of the container, swamping it entirely, which may or may not be the effect you want (Figure 4.21).
Figure 4.21background: radial-gradient(50% 50%, 100% 100%, rgb(75, 75, 255), rgb(0, 0, 0)); swamps the container.
Firefox has never implemented size percentage values, so they won't work in Firefox. For this reason, it is better to use keyword values.
This effect is shown in Figure 4.22.
Figure 4.22 Creating an ellipse using different vertical and horizontal radius values. Neo's amphetamine lunch?
Figure 4.23 The effects of circle closest-side and ellipse closest-side.
So, what's going on here? By using circle and ellipse, you specify that you want your gradient to be a circle or an ellipse, respectively. closest-side means that the shape will expand so that it just touches the container side closest to the point of origin of the radius in the case of a circle and the horizontal and vertical container sides closest to the point of origin of the radius in the case of an ellipse.
You can use the keyword contain in place of closest-side.
closest-corner positions the gradient so that its edge just touches the corner of the element closest to the origin (Figure 4.24).
Figure 4.24 The effects of circle closest-corner andellipse closest-corner.
farthest-side positions the gradient so that its edge touches the side of the element farthest from its centre in the case of a circle or the farthest horizontal and vertical sides in the case of an ellipse (Figure 4.25).
Figure 4.25 The effects of circle farthest-side and ellipse farthest-side.
farthest-corner positions the gradient so that its edge just touches the corner of the element farthest from the origin. You can use the keyword cover in place of farthest-corner (Figure 4.26).
Figure 4.26 The effects of circle farthest-corner and ellipse farthest-corner.
I've not used these implicit shape values very much, preferring instead to control the shape using explicit unit values. But this doesn't mean you won't.
Color stops work in the same way as the color stops in linear gradients except that the units you specify denote distance from the center of the gradient, not distance from the starting corner/edge.
I encourage you to experiment with different color values with the examples I've provided and otherwise. Try creating a sun's rays or a shadow or flashlight moving across the top of your site. Again, use RGBA colors for the win! You'll see more exciting examples throughout the book.
Figure 4.27 A simple repeating radial gradient.
The result is a rather nice container with a shadow, rounded corners, and a textured repeating gradient pattern (Figure 4.28).

Turku Philharmonic Orchestra will perform in the legendary Mariinsky Hall in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The enchanting soprano Helena Juntunen makes a long expected comeback to Turku Philharmonic Orchestra as the soloist for the concert, starring in Strauss's wonderful Vier letzte Lieder-suite, which was the last piece the composer ever finished. The orchestra will also play Jean Sibelius' first symphony and give a second-ever performance of its chief conductor Leif Segerstam's summery symphony, number 272 "Summer Screamings". Summer was a very productive period for conductor Leif Segerstam, who wrote 12 symphonies during the time. The overall number for this year so far is as much as 17 new symphonies.
Other Finnish orchestras are also playing concerts abroad. The second edition of RadiRo, European Radio Orchestras' festival will be held in Bucharest in September, and Radio Symphony Orchestra will play at the Festival on Saturday 20. Lapland Chamber Orchestra will visit Louisiana Art Museum in Humlebæk, Denmark on November 14. The most touring Finnish orchestra, Helsinki Baroque Orchestra, will have concerts in several countries this autumn, including Germany, Poland, Turkey and Sweden.

Offering both comfort to the fearful and confirmation to the curious, Between Death and Life – Conversations with a Spirit examines different levels of existence in the spirit realms through hundreds of real people's past life testimonies as revealed to widely published and internationally acclaimed past-life regressionist and hypnotherapist Dolores Cannon.
Where do we go afterwards?
Does one's personality survive after death?
How are the good and the bad experiences of life accounted for?
These are questions everybody asks. And no one is better qualified to provide reasonable answers than Dolores Cannon. During forty years of detailed research, this widely experienced and well-respected American past-life regression therapist has accumulated a mass of credible information about the death experience and what lies beyond.
While reliving their dying experiences, hundreds of subjects reported the same memories. The similarity and sincerity of their recollections are too convincing to be ignored.
This eye-opening book explores the world beyond ours, giving us an insight into the death experience and reincarnation, guides and guardian angels, ghosts and walk-ins. It examines different levels of existence in the spirit realms; the 'Healing Chambers' for the damaged; the schools where you integrate lessons learned on Earth and where you discover the laws of the Universe; how you plan your next incarnation, the lessons to be learned and future karmic relationships before birth.
First time was a charm, and so I ventured into my second Dolores Cannon adventure after her rather mind-blowing CUSTODIANS work. As in the latter, this one was equally fluid through the pages and maintained a reader's continuing interest until the end. However, where CUSTODIANS was to some degree conviction-rattling in a creepy way, BETWEEN DEATH & LIFE led well into all those afterlife matters and left it with, well, a sense of mundane or ordinary feedback (from Spirit).
CANNON begins straight from the beginning by revealing the so-called Death Experience, and takes the reader along into the expected (e.g., Greeters, Different Levels, Guides, God, Satan, and the General Council), while also later shocking the reader with the unexpected (e.g., Imprinting, Walk-Ins), all of which presented in very understandable terms. I found myself reading along with my own questions, and as if on que, CANNON raises the same and I found myself thinking, 'Thank You, Dolores'.
The big riddle, however, remains unanswered. This work is written in a question-and-answer style narrative between her and a number of Spirits providing the answers, which brought some monotony among the pages which struck me as odd. Odd, insofar as a variety of Spirits (personalities) all provided the same identical tone and manner-of-speaking, nearly robotic, oftentimes at length. Whether edited for contrast or explanatory reasons, it somehow left this worthy read "subject to question." As it had once been told to me by a member of the Newton Institute, regressions are never as read in books but often involve multiple sessions just to narrate a meaningful, single paragraph. Direct, unedited or collated, quotes would have made this a near masterpiece experience.
Having said that, this read is still enjoyable with informational value, and I will continue venturing into her other works.

This is an exceptional book giving us (here back on Earth), simple and logical answers to the questions we have always asked ourselves. Is Earth all there is? Where do we go when we die, what do we do when we get there and what do we do next? Who is God? How does Earth compare with other life in other solar systems. There are lots of answers in this book to many of our questions. And even some answers we didn't know enough to ask the questions. When you finish reading this book, you will learn possibilities you never dreamed of.
This is not the first book of its kind that I have read, but it does fall under the category of life changing, especially if you are one who believes in one life and that after you die you either go to heaven or hell (I think the Pope decided to get rid of the limbo/purgatory part of the belief system). I read an average of 65-70 books a year. At the time I was reading the works of Dolores Cannon, she had written fifteen books. I read all her books and I went to Arkansas to meet her in person. She looked really normal! Her books are entirely the opposite.By the time you finish reading this book, you will be thinking that maybe there is more to life and life after death than we had been led to believe. This book is about reincarnation. It answered some personal questions I had which I could not come to terms with.The book is truly life changing....and for the better. One thing it made me realize is that religiosity can severely dumb as down. One of our major religions used to run Inquisitions against anyone delving into any sort of information not sanctioned by the church. That was severely limiting, and that was how that particular religion maintained its control over its flock......by keeping them IGNORANT. My use of the past tense does not mean it is no longer happening. The effects of the Inquisitions continue to reverberate throughout the centuries. I handed a friend an article about reincarnation and she exclaimed, "Oh, my god, what am I reading?!", and literally dropped the article I handed to her. She prides herself with being "conservative" which I invariably equate with "controlled" and/or "ignorant". Like I said, staying ignorant these days is a matter of choice. The information superhighway is now well within everyone's reach. I never impose my beliefs on anyone. I do try to share information which I deem too important to keep to myself.

Eh Boy, I haven't stopped thinking about this book since I read it last month. It's so much information about Afterlife, it's very difficult to wrap your head around it. I will probably read it again. I am very interested in this subject and hopefully, we will all benefit from "knowing" what happens so we can come together on this planet instead of the Afterlife.
Sometimes Ms. Cannon is too repetitive in her questions and I understand why but it's annoying. I wish she asked more pertinent questions that are not religion related but I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.
My recommendation is to either purchase this book in Kindle or Paperback format. The book is conversations between Dolores Cannon and Spirit. Dolores asks questions and Spirit answers these question. In the audible version, the narrator asks both the question and provides the answer. So it becomes difficult to follow "who is speaking": Dolores or Spirit. I therefore do not think this book lends itself to Audible. The information is fascinating, enlightening and powerful. Buy it in physical format instead.

I frequently come upon resistance to work, only when I give up and think I'm not in the mood for work do I find something to work on. It's by finding the path of least resistance that I find the stepping stones to advance. For some reason, this lesson doesn't seem to sink in.
I went to yoga twice today, once in the morning the other in the afternoon. I no longer find weight lifting enticing, yet I can't help but notice the quick progress is due to the strength developed through lifting weights. I suppose when I come back to lifting weights I will also see improvement, both disciplines highlight different things, but what is highlighted on one side plays a supporting role on the other. For example, I shake a lot on the bench press, and no technique would help me out. And I also shook a lot starting yoga, but through the emphasis in breathing the muscles seem to get in sync, and shaking has been greatly reduced.
There seems to be a parallel between this and intellectual matters which I will explore in time.
The mind seems to finally have put the game at its appropriate scale. On Monday I'll publish a batch of changes and then do my best to promote it. If this doesn't work out I'll be equanimous. It was a great adventure and I find some similarity to the first time I walked two years go: I just barely arrived to Santiago with my ankles so swollen they looked like elephant legs (after just 200Km).
Despite the pains I enjoyed the experience, and I've walked ten times this amount since then. My ankles haven't swollen again, in part because I don't go stomping around as amateurs do, I also know the difference between normal and abnormal exertion pain, and simple hardiness that grows out of practice.
It was a well earned experience.


Brian, wading on the beach at Eliot Key. We had the place to ourselves.
Morale was low back in No Name Harbor. Facing up to the fact that the seas were too rough for passage to the Bahamas and that the next opportunity was possibly weeks away, we were getting… grumpy. Rather than driving each other mad, we hatched a plan. We decided to go sailing in Biscayne Bay for a Christmas cruise in the Keys.
When traveling to other countries, it's required to display the flag for your country of origin. In preparation for our Bahamas passage, we rigged our flag to the topping lift on the mizzen boom and tested it out en route to Eliot Key from No Name Harbor.
Not crossing the Gulf Stream, but happy to be sailing around the Keys while we wait for our weather window.
We were the only boat anchored in Eliot Key, where we spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The water surrounding the key is very shallow with a gradual slope, so the closest we could get was about a 1/4 mile from land. Luckily, there was no current and we could row the dinghy to shore without panic.
We were really excited about the idea of having the beach to ourselves at Eliot Key. We thought we'd uncovered this fabulous spot just for ourselves – all the other boats were suckers! Unfortunately, as soon as we landed the dinghy, we discovered that the beach was littered with shards of broken glass and clouds of blood-thirsty mosquitoes began devouring us. We speed-walked the length of the beach, slapping at ourselves the whole way like mental patients, before retreating in the dinghy. Match point for the mosquitoes.
We left New York three months ago, but between boat projects and passages, we've had precious few days to stop and enjoy warm weather and leisurely activities. We decided to try that out during our "staycation" in the Keys.
Bread that I baked using the flours Sabina ground using the grist aboard her boat, sv Brosel. The last time I baked with freshly ground spelt and rye, I was in culinary school.
sv Sea Squirrel, anchored behind us in Pumpkin Key. A few weeks ago, our friend Parker (remember Parker? He was at our boat naming party) Face Timed us and introduced his childhood friend Courtney, who's parents just happen to be cruising in Florida on their boat Sea Squirrel. One week later, they bumped into us in this otherwise deserted anchorage. The sailing world is teeny tiny.
We enjoyed a rare night out after our sail from Pumpkin Key to Key Largo. Here we sit on the porch at Senior Frioles (Mr. Bean's) and look out at Nightingale Tune in the harbor (with a parasail passing behind her). Sometimes, it still doesn't feel real that she's ours.
Margarita and me. sv Nightingale Tune can be seen out in the harbor, over my left shoulder.
Scorch, our new boat mascot, gifted by Justin before we parted ways.
The sails we've taken between Keys have been spectacular – we haven't had as nice since last spring, when we delivered our boat from Annapolis to New York City. We've anchored in Eliot Key, Pumpkin Key, and Key Largo so far, each place so very different than the last. We'll be in Key Largo for a few days, where it's easy to row to shore in our dinghy (we're so over not having an outboard). Here, we'll restock fresh produce and pick up some things at West Marine, including a part for our BBQ grill that we'd lost at sea. Chris Parker indicated that the seas will be calmer toward the end of the week. If we're lucky, come New Year's Eve, we'll be ringing in 2016 making our 160 mile passage to the Bahamas.
You need to share your bread recipes. I need to get a better handle on that aspect of my galley game! Glad you guys had some time to relax. Its funny how infrequently that can happen.


This touring production offers an exuberant and colourful celebration of the 'Motown Sound', a music so familiar to those of a certain age, and a music which so successfully merged black soul with rock and roll and pop during the second half of the last century.
At times though it seemed the show risks being mis-named and one might speculate that an original working title could have been "Berry Gordy: The Musical"; he is credited as the original producer after all. Early on in the narrative we are told of the young Gordy's ambition to be 'great' after taking inspiration from Joe Louis winning the boxing World Championship in 1938. But that ambition switches and music takes over. In the end we are spared from a wholly self-congratulatory life-story and the music speaks. An amazing sixty three songs, some featuring more than once and a handful offering accomplished solo renditions, are crafted almost seamlessly into the two halves of this boisterous, energetic show.
Inevitably, but very appropriately, we are reminded of the part of Motown music's intentioned role in helping to address the racial divide prevalent in the United States during the 1960s. Gordy is presented to us as wanting black-owned and black-performed music to make a breakthrough into popular music culture, but for it to be inclusive. Referenced is the courage shown by his artists when appearing before segregated audiences in the Deep South and the contribution, be it small or large, the enjoyment of the music made to the breaking down of social barriers.
Sounds heavy? No, no way!
This show is indeed, at baseline, a celebration of the music that takes so many of us down 'memory lane', offering fertile ground for personal reminiscence. Also an opportunity for those younger to understand the music that provided the background to their parents' and grandparents' lives. But, and most importantly, a confident cast enthuse the audience frequently into singing along, clapping hands and tapping feet. The finale, a reprise of 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough' seemed to have the whole audience on its feet!
The production reflects the amazing things that can now be achieved in modern theatre: the costumes, the lighting, the graphics and changing backdrop images, the latter helping to move the narrative along, obviating the need for explanatory dialogue, as in the assassinations of Martin Luther King and the Kennedys.
As to be expected with a touring production there is the inevitable reference to the host city, in this case Bradford, and the equally inevitable cheer from the audience. It is a perhaps a shame that the local connection of Bradford's very own Kiki Dee isn't fitted in for mention, at this theatre anyway. She is the first white artist to have been signed to Motown, and a reflection of Berry Gordy's desire that the music, largely populated by black artists, should be inclusive of, and meant for all, but that would perhaps have been a bit clunky to fit in.
This is a truly ensemble show and I would not wish to single out any individual performer for special mention. Sometimes though, and unless the piece is very specifically intended as a solo, a featured singer can get drowned by the other voices. At the close of the first half, I felt that the morphing of 'War' into 'What's Going On', overwhelmed the poignancy of Shak Gabbidon-Williams' (as Marvin Gaye), vocal and emotion, particularly in 'What's Going On'.
This is a fine and very enjoyable modern musical and, as my companion remarked, prior to the performance, "It has to be good, if it plays at Bradford's Alhambra". Yes it does and Motown: The Musical matches that standard with loads to spare.

2023 Toyota Prius Specs, Price, MPG & Features
January 9, 2023 January 9, 2023 Steve Jones 0 Comments 2023 toyota prius, 2023 toyota prius 0-60, 2023 toyota prius colors, 2023 toyota prius exterior, 2023 toyota prius features, 2023 toyota prius interior, 2023 toyota prius mpg, 2023 toyota prius price, 2023 toyota prius release date, 2023 toyota prius review, 2023 toyota prius specs, 2023 toyota prius trims, all new 2023 toyota prius
The 2023 toyota prius release date is January 2023. It has undergone noteworthy changes for its fifth generation. The eco-nerd has made way for the eco-chic. The Prius is redesigned for 2023, with a sharper exterior and a more modernized inside. The hybrid powertrain has been upgraded and now provides significant performance enhancements while maintaining the same fuel efficiency as the outgoing model.
The sluggish acceleration of previous Prius vehicles is a common complaint. For instance, the combined engine and motor output of the fourth-generation Prius, which was released last year, was just 121 horsepower. The new Prius can go from 0 to 60 mph in about 7 seconds and has a maximum power output of 196 horsepower. That's a lot quicker than the last 2023 toyota prius review tested needed (10.7) seconds, and it should make it much simpler to get up to speed at freeway onramps.
Importantly, depending on the model, the new Prius still achieves impressive fuel economy, with estimates ranging from 49 to 57 mpg in mixed city/highway driving from the manufacturer. Also, brand new and boasting an increased electric range is the plug-in hybrid Prius Prime. The 2023 toyota prius price starts at $28000.
Even while the Prius's new external design has garnered much praise, the most significant change is found within the interior, which now has an updated technology suite and a sleeker, more contemporary appearance. The base model comes with an 8-inch touchscreen, while the highest-tier models have a 12.3-inch screen. The Prius is still a hatchback, and its trunk is rather spacious. 2023 toyota prius trims are LE, XLE and Limited.
Since the Honda Insight and the Hyundai Ioniq, two of the Prius' primary competitors, have been phased out of production, we can confidently suggest the Prius to anybody looking to buy a fuel-efficient vehicle. The closest competitor to the Prius is the Kia Niro, also offered as a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid.
2023 Toyota Prius specs
Price: $28000 (starting)
Engine: 2.0 L Atkinson Cycle I-4
Transmission; Continuously Variable Transmission
Seating Capacity: 5-Seater
0-60 mph: 7.1 sec
Fuel Mileage-Combined/City/Highway: 52/52/52 mpg

2023 Toyota Prius Exterior
The fifth-generation Toyota Prius has a completely redesigned exterior and brings with it a significant increase in both appearance and performance. The 2023 toyota prius exterior has been completely redesigned from the ground up. This is especially true now that it is built on Toyota's latest generation TNGA-C platform, which gives it a lower and broader stance while increasing its rigidity.
The inside of a Prius has a cockpit-like design, even though rear passengers have less headroom than those in a standard automobile because of the car's sloping roof. The front passengers are sat lower than before, which helps decrease the vehicle's center of gravity. New features include a cluster of gauges mounted on the dashboard behind the wheel and a leather-like synthetic replacement for the rim.
It's common for higher-end models to have bigger screens and more luxurious amenities. The LE and XLE now include a new 8.0-inch infotainment screen, but the 12.3-inch touchscreen in the top grade is the real show-stopper. You may use the "Hey Toyota" voice command, which adds a touch of style.
The six options for the all-new 2023 toyota prius colors are "Wind Chill Pearl," "Cutting Edge," "Guardian Gray," "Midnight Black Metallic," "Supersonic Red," and "Reservoir Blue."
2023 Toyota Prius Interior
2023 Toyota prius interior was designed to function very well. Incorporating increased engine and battery output, the new hybrid system improves both fuel economy and driving performance. Electric vehicles offer a different driving sensation and accelerator response than conventional automobiles.
Fifth-generation hybrid technology, including a 2.0-liter engine and a lithium-ion battery pack installed behind the rear seats, powers the vehicle. Electronic All-Wheel Drive (AWD) systems, which employ a motor to power the rear wheels, are now standard on AWD vehicles. This helps drivers maintain control when taking off and navigating roads covered with slick substances like snow. This new lithium-ion battery pack is smaller and lighter than its Nickel Metal Hydride predecessor, yet it increases output by 15%.
The LE has an 8.0-inch touchscreen for its infotainment system, while the XLE and the Limited have 12.3-inch displays. The capability to wirelessly replicate your smartphone screen is becoming the norm. A phone charging slot lies alongside the shifter, with a smart clamping mechanism that retains your phone securely, and the physical HVAC toggles and buttons work with perfect logic just below the screen. Six USB-C outlets can be found all around the inside, including one just forward of the shifter for a second phone tray.
Improved Handling & Braking
The new automobile doesn't seem or feel precarious because of its reduced height and wider stance. The fact that Oya-san intends to apply his "performance worthy of the design" philosophy to chassis tuning only helps to bolster this notion. The KYB dampers include an internal check valve that shuts when subjected to lateral stresses, firming up damping in corners, and the comparable front strut and rear multilink suspensions has been tuned with handling in mind. In fact, the new Prius has far less body lean and curves more elegantly than its predecessor. Our measurements of grip in the corners with Michelin Primacy All Season 195/50R-19 tires show a robust 0.87 g. Even with the low-profile 19-inch tires found on the XLE and Limited, the ride is well-controlled over most bumps on the road.
Larger front and rear brakes and a hydraulic pump in place of vacuum assist make for a more responsive braking system. This computer-controlled switch between regeneration and friction braking eliminates a common Prius complaint by keeping the brake pedal's feel constant. It just needs 171 feet to come to a stop from 70 miles per hour.
Enhanced Comfort and Efficiency Within
There is 1.4 inches of headroom loss in the front and one inch in the rear due to the roof's sweeping shape. The increased legroom afforded by the longer wheelbase is most noticeable in the rear, where it increases from 0.9 to 1.4 inches. That shifts the driver's stance to a more natural and relaxed one. However, adjusting the steering wheel might feel strange since it appears that the wheel must be placed in the lap to view the dashboard. In reality, the steering column cover is designed to conceal itself inconspicuously within the dashboard. Thus, the effect is most deceptive. The horn pad features the Toyota emblem towards the driver's chin rather than the chest, and the space between the wheel and the driver's thighs is generous.
It's novel for the Prius that turning the wheel may alter the instruments, which are now (at long last) directly ahead of the driver rather than slouching off to starboard. It has a simple interface, and the controls are conveniently located on the steering wheel's spokes, so you can use them to navigate the screen while keeping your hands on the wheel. The Prius's iconic shifter is still there, but now it protrudes directly from the console at arm's length instead of the dash, making for a more rational and natural driving experience.
When you fold down the rear seats of a Prius, you'll find 20. 3 cubic feet of storage capacity. This is more room than you'd get in the trunk of a sedan of the same size, but it's less than what was available in the previous generation of Prius. There's less space now, and we couldn't even lay a set of golf clubs over the back of the Prius without them rubbing. There appears to be no concealed storage space beneath the elevated cargo floor.
The Prius's front cabin has a narrow but deep bin in the center console and a useful rubberized compartment under the dashboard. There is a wireless charging station accessible, and it's right next to the gear shifter. Most water bottles will fit in the cupholders, which are somewhat bigger than standard.
Another benefit of the 2023 Toyota Prius Prime
New for 2023, the Toyota Prius Prime is a plug-in hybrid that allows buyers to drive in pure electric or hybrid form. The new Prius PHEV has a more powerful powertrain that generates 200 hp, nearly 100 more than the outgoing model. The plug-in EV's increased range of over 50 percent over the previous model's 25 miles is another plus.
Even with all these improvements, this is still a Prius, in hybrid or plug-in hybrid form; so, while there will be a price increase, it is not anticipated to be stratospheric. The Prius never stops being a cheap hybrid option.
The theft of catalytic converters has been an increasingly common problem in the United States, and it's nice that the 2023 Toyota Prius features a shield to protect against this. The same is available on a wide variety of Toyota vehicles.

About us. The history of the brand Fonz Ferroni.
"Cambia tutto! Materiale, taglio, forma, ma lo spirito maschio rimane sempre invariato!"
"Everything changes: material, cut, shape, but the masculine spirit remains always unchanged!"
― Fonz Ferroni, 1935
FONZ FERRONI - The origins
The Fonz Ferroni brand is called in honor of the famous Sicilian master of tailoring Fonz Ferroni who was born in 1891 in the city of Syracuse, Sicily. The Ferroni's family is an ancient and pious noble family in Italy. In the origins of the genus one can meet such glorified representatives as the Marquis Francesco Antonio Ferroni, whose name was mentioned in 1670 by the owner of a very ancient and luxurious castle in Florence, which is now called the Palace of the Back Ferroni ( Palazzospiniferroni). Fonz Ferroni's great-grandfather, on his father's side, Giancarlo Ferroni, married a Sicilian girl in the early 19th century and moved to the city of Syracuse on the island of Sicily. Despite his ancient family from Florence, Fonz Ferroni considered himself a true Sicilian, and this greatly influenced his future life. Since young years Fonz was fond of art, in particular painting. He showed the skill, representing courage and greatness in an armor of emperors of Rome. Further Fonz Ferroni has tried out as the individual designer tailor, and his glory has bypassed all Sicily soon. Noble roots and the Sicilian temperament allowed the master Ferroni to create elegant men's wear for many famous representatives of Italy of that time. Signori of different sectors of society came into his workshop. Among them there were rich dealers, successful bankers, godfathers of Sicily. In years when the fascist ideas have taken the whole Europe, Fonz Ferroni, as well as many businessmen of Italy, has at all rejected the idea of fascism, have been forced to leave the hometown with family and to go to America. The melancholy for native Sicily was very difficult stage in his life, and in 1943 the master has suddenly died in the USA.
60 years later, in memory of the outstanding master of his grandson Joni Ferroni in 2004 launched the company for the production of elegant men's clothing under the brand Fonz Ferroni. The main idea of the brand was the creation of a line of clothing, which combines the knight's spirit, masculine character, charm and a new look at the ancient origins.
FONZ FERRONI - Nowadays
Today the company Fonzferroni is engaged in the production of elegant men's clothing and accessories of classical style. Designer brand criteria are high quality, serious exposure, excellent cut, charisma. Clothing and accessories Fonzferroni perfectly promoted in Europe, the USA, China, Russia and other countries. The company provides a wide selection of outerwear, trousers, accessories for each season
FONZ FERRONI - Future
The main purpose of the Master Ferroni always was to transfer the Knight spirit to the future generation. This is the reason why the Fonzferroni brand has become a bridge between the past, the present and the future. Realizing the full responsibility to the previous and future generations, Fonzferroni company has committed itself to the long-term supply of elegant men's clothing and accessories to the world market, imbued with the spirit of centuries-old ideas and traditions.

Everything You Say Is a Lie. (At the Very Least, It Is Not the Truth.) | Bill Gladwell LIVE!
Since 1989, I have made a career out of effectively communicating and teaching others to do the same. One of the most difficult aspects of teaching how to effectively communicate is getting people to accept that what is coming out of your mouth is not the truth. Being aware of this fact will not only make you a better communicator, but it will also allow you to engineer what is remembered by your listener.
If you do a search on the Internet for "memory recall altered", you will find a large body of research that has shown that every time you recall a memory that memory is altered and rewritten. To further compound this phenomenon, you are not simply altering and rewriting your original memory. You are recalling the last version of your memory and altering and rewriting that version. That's right!… Each time you recall a memory, that memory is becoming even more distorted from reality.
Because you are dealing with memories in your own mind, it is difficult for most people to take a step back and admit that a memory is a very fluid thing; and this creates a false sense of confidence. When told they are mistaken, people will insist that they are correct. People are so confident in their own memory that many will not believe they are mistaken even when presented with proof to the contrary. Cognitive dissonance may come into play at this point.
Cognitive dissonance is a situation involving conflicting attitudes, beliefs, or behaviors. This produces a feeling of discomfort, and people will go to all sorts of lengths to reduce cognitive dissonance. For example, Tom may hold the belief that he has a very good memory; and Amy presents evidence that he is wrong. Now, Tom has a belief that his memory is very good and is being proven wrong at the same time. This puts Tom into an uncomfortable situation, because Tom is facing the fact that he may not have as good of a memory as he believes. Even at this point, Tom is likely to continue insisting that he is correct due to his confidence in his memory.
Now that you are aware that you alter a memory with each recall, what do you do with that information?
First, always keep what you now know at the top of your mind. When you are presented with a different view by the person with whom you are speaking, consider that you may be incorrect… within reason. For example, if you are being told that the earth is flat or that it is snowing outside when it clearly is not, then stand your ground; but if you are being told that you said last week that you would include free shipping, consider that you did indeed offer free shipping.
The obvious problem arises when you are remembering a scenario differently than the person with whom you are speaking. Do you always concede to the other person? Well, not always. Ideally, the person with whom you are speaking is aware that they could also be the one remembering incorrectly. In reality, you both are remembering incorrectly. When you both can step out of the moment and realize that it is a good possibility that neither of you are correct, then you can come up with a solution together that makes everyone happy.
What if you absolutely know that you are the one who is right? I recommend that you start by asking yourself, "Do I want to be right, or do I want to be happy?" It may behoove you to simply concede and move on. You are the one who must decide if keeping the peace is more important to you than other possible, less desirable outcomes.
Simply being aware that aspects of your memories are deleted, distorted, and generalized each time that you access them makes you a better communicator. With this information, you can make better decisions when it comes to communicating, making friends, and influencing people.
Let's talk about influencing people using what you have just learned. I am going to give you an example of how I utilize this phenomenon in my life, and perhaps it will encourage you to brainstorm areas of your life where you can begin using it in your communication.
During the performance of my stage show, I ask several audience members to write down on a piece of paper different facts about themselves that no one in the room would know. Each person then seals their paper in an envelope. I then proceed to determine what the person wrote down by asking a few questions and reading the body language of the person. For example, I may ask someone to think of a pet that they had at some point in their life. I then tell them things like the kind of animal, the color, and even the name of their pet. This part of the performance is what brings people back again and again, and they bring friends and family with them.
Notice that during my recap I never mention that each person first wrote down some facts about themselves or that they sealed these facts in an envelope. I simply say, "You thought of your first kiss, and I told you where it happened and the boy's name." By doing this, I help the audience members to alter their memories of that experience. I purposely delete and distort certain elements of the experience they had a moment ago, and the memories get encoded into their mind as a different experience than what actually happened.
Be aware that no one is telling the truth, you could be wrong just as easily as the person with whom you are speaking, and it may be a better choice to be happy than to be right. This could prevent you from having a lot of stress and negative feelings throughout your life while helping you create countless moments of pleasure. With a little brainstorming and planning, you also have a communication tool that will allow you to engineer an experience that your listener will never forget.

Spacey stars in upcoming film "Billionaire Boys Club," based on the true story of an '80s Ponzi scheme. Vertical Entertainment, the distributor of the film, said that despite accusations of sexual harassment and assault against Spacey, they plan to move forward with the project.
"We hope these distressing allegations pertaining to one person's behavior — that were not publicly known when the film was made almost two-and-a-half years ago and from someone who has a small, supporting role in 'Billionaire Boys Club' — does not tarnish the release of the film," Vertical Entertainment said in a statement to CNN.
The decision to keep Spacey in this film comes more than seven months after he was replaced by Christopher Plummer in Sony's "All The Money in the World." The studio chose to reshoot Spacey's scenes just weeks before the film's December theatrical release.
Days after the initial accusation by Rapp, CNN published an investigation in which "House of Cards" production staff accused Spacey of sexual harassment and one incident of sexual assault. The next day, Netflix announced they would not continue the series if Spacey was part of it.
The sixth and final season of "House of Cards" resumed production without Spacey and debuts this fall.
"Billionaire Boys Club" stars Emma Roberts, Jeremy Irvine, Judd Nelson, Cary Elwes and Billie Lourd. The film is set for a limited release on August 17.


Degrassi has never been shy of controversy or innovation, so why should the sixth season of Degrassi The Next Generation be any different.
As this season premiered the press swarmed with talk of the most controversial year yet, including drug abuse, Internet stalkers and murder.
Now the highest of those plot points has reached its pinnacle; a major character will be murdered … tonight.
Paige: Perhaps someone has finally realized her Mean Girls re-enactment and pretentious nature are annoying enough to end.
Craig: He may owe a Vancouver drug dealer some money.
Principal Hatzilakos: She makes hard decisions every week, maybe one went too far?
Toby: The school wars have already seen him jumped; it would be extra tragic to have him be the casualty.
J.T.: The school wars could also be the catalyst or it could be Liberty in a jealous lover's rage.
Sean: Peter's jealousy over his relationship with Emma may be the trigger.
Ellie: A crazed fan of her newspaper writing may take admiration too far.
Jay: Giving multiple girls gonorrhea may have caught up with him.
Whether it is one of these mentioned characters or another member of the large cast, the death scene will affect fans and casual viewers alike.
The murder is tragic and quite scary. It happens in a realistic manner, ripped from news headlines.
One of the characters sums up the plot by saying, "Life is random" and tragedy has no logical flow.
Anyone who feels the murder is more haphazard than rational in regards to the plot is refuted. Degrassi's murder will not be as arbitrary and pathetic as The O.C.'s attempt.
The O.C. could take a lesson from the Degrassi team. They too had a major character murdered, but the event was unemotional, unnecessary and dull. Degrassi's murder is shocking and depressing.
DTNG's story arc may actually impact its audience because its plot is not solely based on firing an actor but rather on Degrassi's dramatic yet realistic mandate.
Informed fans expecting the eventual murder may find it a tad predictable.
From the beginning of the season, fans with their guard up may be able to guess the doomed character. However, the events and action of the death are not expected, instead they are sudden and heartbreaking.
What follows the murder is the most interesting. Degrassi immediately dives into the cast's reaction.
The characters grieve in their unique ways, which results in some new and interesting twists to be filtered throughout the season.
No matter which character leaves fans will be affected by the loss.

Today Jen shares with us some practical tips for how you can get the perfect gift for your child's teacher. I am just thrilled to have found her site, as now I know I'll be getting the RIGHT gifts for the teachers who pour some much love and energy into the boys!
Sunshine 4 Teachers is all about showing teachers that we appreciate them…and more than that, what makes teachers feel appreciated. I want people to know before they go spend $10 at the gift store on a gold apple statue that says "#1 Teacher", that they should really save that money. Save your money and read about what you can do from the heart that they will really appreciate.
I have a few ideas to share about how to be sneaky and find out what your child's teacher really likes. I just found out this Saturday what one of the things my oldest daughter's teacher really loves…and it's the very last thing I would have bought for her…and it also costs about 1/20th of what I was going to spend on her.
I blog about ideas for when we have some extra money and would like to spend it on a teacher, ideas for things they'll love and use. I also have lots of ideas for when we might only have $2 to spend…or no dollars to spend!!!
Next week, May 4th to May 8th, is National Teacher Appreciation Week. Stop on over to find out how to bring a little Sunshine to a teacher's day. I love to read your questions and your ideas on how to bring a smile to a teacher's face.
Jen has a list of ideas in her sidebar, as well as other posts you might find helpful when deciding how to show your appreciation to your kids' teachers! I got several ideas from her site and look forward to giving personal and practical gifts this year!
These are such cute and thoughtful gifts that any teacher would love to get! I am a teacher and I can't begin to tell you how many gifts I've gotten over the years, and as wonderful as they are, the one's that mean the most are those original homemade gifts that you know came from the heart!
As a teacher, and REALLY grateful mom, I also believe that more families should find ways to express their gratitude. One thing I like to do is give chair massages to my teachers. My sister is a certified massage therapist and occasionally, with a little bartering from me (free babysitting offered), she will spend no student/teacher workdays at school giving chair massages during staff breaks. The teachers LOVE it and my sister passes out business cards, which frequently leads to further business opportunities for her.
I taught for over 30 years. Honestly, I appreciated a note from the heart as much as any gift. I really appreciated the mugs at Christmas, but you could tell I taught a long time by the dozens I have. It is not so much the gift as the thought.
I still have the notes that were given to me and they bring me so much joy when I re-read them.

Grappling refers to techniques used to control an opponent without using strikes. Example of grappling techniques include joint locks, takedowns, throws, pins, and chokes. Some martial arts styles, such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo, focus exclusively on grappling, while many other styles incorporate it along with striking techniques, such as Jujutsu, Hapkido, and Sambo.

MSU has already visited two of the Big Ten's more challenging venues and has done well, beating Wisconsin — albeit without top scorer Tyler Wahl — at the Kohl Center and getting away with a close game in Illinois. Though the Spartans have considerable experience — with a fifth-grader, a true senior, two juniors and a sophomore in the wings — they need to be aware of the atmosphere they'll be entering at Assembly Hall, MSU head coach Tom Izzo and said noted that his staff planned to engage with the environment during their preparation.
"Indiana, especially after their win (Thursday), I think this place is going to rock like no other," Izzo said. "That's the beauty of the Big Ten, but we have a lot of places that we're going to go that are going to be like that. We'll try to bring in the noise of the crowd (Saturday). We'll try to do some things to prepare them. Thank god we weren't easy places to play in Wisconsin, Illinois. Yes, that's always a problem, especially when you've got one of those bad starts that we've had at home, so I think the thing is going to be tripled. We have to make sure that doesn't happen."
MSU and Indiana will wrap up their regular season series on February 21 at the Breslin Center.

A federal court judge in New York made public the confidential settlements reached between Bill O'Reilly and three women who accused the former Fox News host of misconduct.
Judge Deborah Batts, who is presiding over a defamation suit filed last year, rejected O'Reilly's request to keep the agreements private (read the ruling here). She wrote that his concerns about disclosing "embarrassing conduct with no public ramifications" are not sufficient to trump the public's right to view documents the court relied on to reach its decision in the case.
"A possibility of future adverse impact on employment or the celebrity status of a party is not a 'higher value' sufficient to overcome the presumption of access to judicial documents," Batts wrote.
The documents reveal the extent to which O'Reilly went to silence those who came forward with sexual harassment allegations.
The Mackris agreement confirms a New York Times report that Fox News went so far as to hire private investigators to dig up information on her, noting that such materials would be destroyed.
Former Fox Business News host Rebecca Gomez Diamond received a $3.25 million settlement from O'Reilly, a payout not previously disclosed.
Diamond's settlement terms was so strict, she could only disclose the amount of the payout to her tax advisers after the accountant signed a confidentialityagreement. The only person she told about the settlement was her husband. She, too, agreed to turn over any notes, recordings, emails, computer files or other documents dealing with any conversation she ever had with O'Reilly.
Rachel Witlieb Bernstein received a settlement of about $106,466 (minus deductions), or about 18 months worth of salary as a junior producer at Fox News, in exchange for her silence. If anyone should ask what happened, she would respond: "The matter has been resolved (or settled)." She also agreed not to disparage Fox News or any of its employees, including O'Reilly.
"After the onslaught of harassment and defamation by Bill O'Reilly it is vital that the public hear the truth and see some of the evidence," wrote Neil Mullin in court documents.


Deliverable, as an adjective, describes something that can be delivered, such as a product or service. For example, a software application might be said to be deliverable by a certain date. In an IT context, "deliverable" is more frequently used as a noun. For example, a software application might be listed as a project deliverable in a request for proposal ( RFP ). In its frequently asked questions section, the AskOxford Web site says that although "deliverables" has been included in their recent dictionaries, such as the New Oxford Dictionary of English (1998), the term's use in this way is relatively recent.

It's Hard To Be A Bad Cat
Chapter 31:
Faced with a black cat who knows how to curse online cats and knows that she lost her little green orange when passing by, will everyone sympathize with Bai Hefei?
Of course not, Bai Hefei's senior brothers and sisters threw the junior brother aside when they were in the cat cafe, and they became more interested in Huatang.
What kind of fairy cat is this! Want to modify a storage box robot?
No, it's too simple.
In addition to loading things, at least it needs to be offensive and defensive. It has flexible off-road mobility and strong protection. It is best to add the function of carrying cats. They think the concept of "mobile fortress" is quite good.
Those who have a good relationship with the hand-made gods are basically modified crazy demons.
The anti-shake camera that Bai Hefei took out is just one of their works, and it is the least technically difficult to modify.
There are many thumb-sized sports cameras on the market, and there are countless tools available for live streaming. Bai Hefei and the others combine and optimize the two functions, which is not a particularly difficult task.
What really worries them is the low practicality of the finished products of the "mobile fortress", or they are fully functional and cover a large area, or the finished products are bulky and cannot be streamlined.
In terms of structure and materials, there are still problems to be solved urgently.
At the very beginning, Bai Hefei had the courage to go back to school and contact the seniors in order to transform the box robots for Huatang.
So even if he went back to school and found that the roommate who framed him and betrayed him had been retributed, and the school gave him a document certifying his innocence, I was delighted and did not forget this incident.
"We made a semi-finished product, made of aluminum alloy, and a highly maneuverable wheeled chassis. It has good maneuverability. In addition to driving on land, it also uses a hydro-pneumatic suspension structure. The wheels are retracted and replaced with water jet propulsion. Across the river and the lake with Huatang."
When Bai Hefei talked about the results of their transformation, he was extremely excited.
It's a pity that aluminum alloy is too heavy. If such a big guy is handed to Huatang, no matter how he runs around such a heavy object, Huatang may not be able to escape in case of an overturn or an accident.
Thinking of this, Bai Hefei looked low, and could not find a good way to face the dilemma of transformation.
I can only take an anti-shake camera and give Huatang alive to use it.
Wait, Gu Yusheng's expression has gradually become more complicated. Highly maneuverable wheeled chassis, hydro-pneumatic suspension structure and amphibious design. Is this preparing a "special vehicle" for the black cat or designing an amphibious armored vehicle?
Coupled with enough firepower, Huatang can drive to attack the city.
Are you the ultimate destination of transformation madmen aiming at military weapons?
In fact, regardless of Bai Hefei and his group of hand-made gods or transforming crazy demons, they are all students in their early twenties, but some models or design concepts can really be sold to large companies or even research institutes.
A few of them had not waited until they graduated before they got some letters of appointment from confidential units.
Otherwise, ordinary students would not be able to find enough experimental materials to make "mobile fortresses" for cats. This is not a question of financial resources, but without platforms and channels, there will be no laboratories or specializing in these things. The research team has no access to new materials.
Bai Hefei prefers craftsmanship and creative handwork, and his style is more civilized. His senior brothers and sisters are technical talents who can really optimize machinery and even innovate weapons and equipment. The two are completely different development directions. .
It's just that laymen don't understand the difference, and think that Bai Hefei is a big fan of millions of fans. He has his own brand and special product line. The scenery is great, but from the perspective of comprehensive ability, the seniors are more professional.
This time the "cat fortress" is also a rare collaboration between the seniors and senior sisters in their short free time before graduation, thinking about going to separate things or temporarily losing contact.
Bai Hefei laid hands next to him, that is, a mascot who made miniature furniture for the "fortress" and stitched a small quilt or pillow.
But in any case, knowledge has greatly expanded the pigeons, and the advancement of technology has allowed basic combat units to talk in front of the evil cats.
Huatang was attracted by the "cat fortress" and was particularly satisfied with the function of "launching". It seems that the key to territorial expansion lies in this "cat fortress".
Unfortunately, the fortress is still a semi-finished product, Huatang now only has an anti-shake camera.
Bai Hefei is not too afraid of Gu Yusheng, but he is still a little confused. After eating two meals, he ran home quickly, stuffed his laptop and lens and other things into his schoolbag, and moved quickly like moving cheese. Jerry.
"Okay, after putting this on, you can shoot automatically." Before the small restaurant opened, Bai Hefei spread the things on the table, then turned the notebook over and asked Huatang which piece of music he liked.
The black cat was puzzled, and Gu Yusheng didn't understand why the live broadcast had to be accompanied by music.
"Oh, I forgot to say it." Bai Hefei patted his head, thinking that he had forgotten the key things. "This is to prevent sneak shots and to remind passersby who accidentally enter the mirror."
The lens can be made smaller and smaller, but there should be more and more specifications.
Bai Hefei and the others who make original creations and play transformations are not only familiar with the intellectual property law. Even if there are no laws and regulations specifically for illegal shooting and privacy protection in China, these young people have their own insistence.
"Without the consent of the other party, it should be the default of the other party's rejection of the camera." Bai Hefei worried that Huatang and Gu Yusheng did not understand, so he hurriedly opened the browser and found some publicly filmed images, which covered passersby with mosaics.
The live images were shared in time, and there was no way to do mosaic processing. Bai Hefei made timed music on the camera to remind passersby that there is a cat here with a camera taking pictures.
This function is similar to that some cameras cannot cancel the clicking sound. If you refuse to take photos, you must start with the cat.
Even if according to Huatang's line of sight, the estimation of the lens is someone else's legs or shoes, but actively reminding the existence of the camera is not directly omitted because the photographer is a black cat.
Besides, playing ten or twenty seconds of music every three minutes, you can also equip Huatang's live studio with exclusive bgm, which is lovely.
Gu Yusheng didn't know much about these things, but watching Bai Hefei searched out a lot of secretly filmed news, he also realized how much harm this kind of behavior would cause.
Huatang usually doesn't get into the crowd very much, and it is estimated that she can't take a picture with the lens, but the photographer can't report a fluke. It is a good design to add music as a reminder.
Maomao's live broadcast is upright, and I don't mind adding a bgm.
In the end, Huatang chose the theme song of "Black Cat Sheriff". After putting it on, she heard the music regularly sounded, and she felt satisfied and felt that the image of the villain evil cat became more three-dimensional.
"The eyes are staring like copper bells, the lightning-like cleverness is shot out, the ears are erected like antennas, listening to all the suspicious sounds, sharpening the sharp claws to patrol everywhere, you have brought us peace of life -"
Every three minutes, there will be such a sentence, Huatang lowered his head and used his front paws to touch the camera, which was very interesting.
It happened that Ye Yulan received some new news from her friends and wanted to start again. When she left, she could also watch the live broadcast on her mobile phone to check if Huatang was losing weight.
Gu Yusheng and Bai Hefei posted the new poster on the bulletin board, and also wrote Huatang's cat with the live room number to remind the residents that the camera will play music regularly. If you want to avoid the camera, you can find Huatang after hearing the bgm , And then go around behind the black cat.
Of course, evil cats also need free time to let themselves go.
The live broadcast is from after breakfast to before dinner. At other times, Huatang does not wear a camera.
After putting on the lens, what Huatang sees will be broadcast in Bai Hefei's live broadcast room. This makes the evil cat feel very interesting. After deliberately jumping in place twice, it will be more fun to watch Bai Hefei's halo lens. I couldn't even walk well, so I jumped forward.
Huatang was originally a little shorter than cats of the same age. In addition, she has recently been patronizing fat and hasn't grown up, so she is even lower when she hangs on the camera. If it wasn't for the name of the live broadcast room marked with cats, she accidentally clicked in and thought What tall ferns are in the mirror, even flowers can occupy more than half of the screen.
After seeing the new poster, the residents in the community rubbed their hands and clicked into the live broadcast room. They were first spotted by this ultra-low-altitude shooting perspective and guessed the length of Huatang's legs.
——Ten centimeters, it can't be higher.
——Oh, even the long legs have to be mixed with water these years. I bet on eight centimeters, and the legs are short and fearless.
In fact, the best way to lose weight is to divert your attention. Don't think about eating all day. Huatang stepped on the puddles and jumped through the grass while wearing the camera, and then listened to the regularly sounding music and bounced on the spot with satisfaction.
Unconsciously, the amount of exercise soared.
Huatang squatted next to the weeping willow gently swinging by the lake. He felt good when listening to bgm. Thinking of Bai Hefei's halo shots before, it is not forgetting the job of the evil cat.
Hee hee, experience the feeling that the camera can fly~
Soon, the residents who discussed the length of Huatang's legs were unable to continue the conversation, because the camera began to shake violently, and then bounced from the ground to the canopy, and then jumped directly off the canopy. The zoomed-in picture changed extremely quickly. Seeing people's unconscious vision dizziness.
——Do cats and cats move so fast?
——No, I'm so dizzy, I feel hypnotized and sleepy.
Cats are good players who lurch forward. The first time they look back, the cat is still ten meters away from him, and the second time he looks back, the cat may be only two meters away from him.
As a perfect parkour master, Huatang, like a black shadow, deliberately climbed up and down, jumped up and down, using the lens to hurt the residents who watched the live broadcast.
Come on, let's faint together~
Residents who secretly observed Huatang's weight loss but were tragically hurt by the halo picture, resolutely took a screenshot of the most dazzling scene, and then changed the cover of the black cat to the cute and adorable cover of the years, and generously shared it with friends.
"Isn't there a black cat in our community, it's super cute, yes, this is a cute recording video, thanks!"
"Hey, don't the cloud **** the cat? The Huatang I told you before has a new video that is super cute. The link is sent to you~"
Qualified evil cats must continue to spread the scope of damage, super bad~

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of the City and County of San Francisco and from an order refusing a new trial. William P. Lawlor, Judge.
The facts are stated in the opinion of the court.
James F. Johnson, for Appellant.
U.S. Webb, Attorney-General, for Respondent.
LENNON, P. J. —
The defendant was informed against for the crime of robbery. He was convicted, and this appeal is from the judgment and from an "order denying defendant's motion to vacate and set aside order denying defendant's motion for a new trial."
On behalf of the defendant it is insisted that the trial court erred to the prejudice of the defendant in submitting to the jury the question as to whether or not a certain person should be subpoenaed to testify as a witness for the defendant. Apparently the trial court did submit such a question to the jury, but we are at a loss to conceive how such procedure prejudiced the defendant. Evidently the court acted in the matter with the acquiescence of counsel for the defendant. However that may be, neither the judge nor jury could have prevented the witness in question from being subpoenaed to testify upon behalf of the defendant, and the judge's consent was not a necessary prerequisite to the issuance of a local subpoena. If the suggested witness was possessed of knowledge which would have been material to the defendant's defense it was the privilege and duty of counsel for the defendant to have procured a subpoena for the witness regardless of the wishes of the trial judge or the opinion of the jury as to the necessity therefor. If counsel for the defendant, upon a proper showing, had requested a continuance of the trial for the purpose of procuring a prospective witness the situation would be different, but this he did not do. On the contrary, he stood idly by and without objection permitted the trial court to submit to the jury a question which he should have decided for himself. Under these circumstances the defendant will not now be heard to complain. Whether or not the defendant's motion for a new trial was properly denied is a question which cannot be considered for the reason that no appeal was taken from the order denying the defendant a new trial.
The defendant's motion to vacate and set aside the order denying a new trial was properly denied. We know of no rule of law, statutory or other, which authorizes the defendant to make such a motion, or which gives the lower court jurisdiction to hear and determine the same. The motion to vacate the order granting a new trial was based upon allegations of newly discovered evidence, and was in effect a second motion for a new trial. The defendant had previously and within the time allowed by law interposed a motion for a new trial, which was duly heard and denied. "The right to move for a new trial had thus been exercised and exhausted." ( People v. Walker, 142 Cal. 90, [ 75 P. 658].) Obviously such right could not be revived and retried under the guise of a motion to vacate.
The judgment appealed from is affirmed, and the appeal from the order above designated is dismissed.
Kerrigan, J., and Hall, J., concurred.

Gore Decries Treatment of Arabs Post 9-11
In a speech at the Jiddah Economic Summit, former Vice President Gore accused the United States of abuses in the treatment Arabs in the country after the Al-Qa'idah attacks of September 11, 2001. His comments come at a time when the Muslim world is already being whipped into a religious fervor over cartoons appearing in a Danish newspaper in the fall of 2005. Even if the comments are technically accurate, and I have my doubts as to that, the degree of exaggeration and hyperbole raise serious concerns about the former vice president's motives, not to mention his grasp on reality. Is he trying to torpedo American foreign policy?
Read what he said:
"Arabs in the United States had been indiscriminately rounded up, often on minor charges of overstaying a visa or not having a green card in proper order, and held in conditions that were just unforgivable."
I think the word the vice president might find a better descriptor is "systematic." If you are looking for people that might be up to no good, you probably want to start with people that are breaking the law. Overstaying a visa or not having a green card are violations. Are we not to enforce our laws? I would like to know the "unforgivable" conditions - sort of like a Saudi jail, maybe?
"The thoughtless way in which visas are now handled, that is a mistake. The worst thing we can possibly do is to cut off the channels of friendship and mutual understanding between Saudi Arabia and the United States."
Maybe Mr. Gore should remember that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi nationals. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an incubator for Islamic fundamentalism. Millions of dollars of private Saudi money has found its way into the hands of terrorist organization, or at a minimum to hardline madrasahs in Pakistan that preach hatred and intolerance. Pardon us if we want to take a look at who from Saudi Arabia wants to enter the United States.
