Vauxhall, Post-war
Vauxhall Victor
The Vauxhall Victor is a large family car which was produced by Vauxhall Motors, the British subsidiary of General Motors, from 1957 to 1976. The Victor was introduced to replace the outgoing Wyvern model. It was later renamed the VX Series and continued until 1978, by which time it had grown significantly and was viewed, at least in its home market, as a larger-than-average family car.
The Victor was replaced by the Carlton, which was based on the German Opel Rekord D. The last model, the Victor FE, was manufactured under licence by Hindustan Motors in India as the Hindustan Contessa, during the 1980s and early 1990s, with an Isuzu engine.
The original Victor became Britain's most exported car, with sales in markets as far flung as the United States (sold by Pontiac dealers, as Vauxhall had been part of GM since 1925), Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Asian right hand drive markets such as Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore.
In Canada, it was marketed as both the Vauxhall Victor (sold through Pontiac/Buick dealerships) and the Envoy (marketed through Chevrolet/Oldsmobile dealers). The Victor was also instrumental in giving Vauxhall its first in-house-designed estate car, which complemented the four-door saloon.
The original Victor, launched on 28 February 1957, was dubbed the F series and saw a production run totalling over 390,000 units. The car was of unitary construction and featured a large glass area with heavily curved windscreen and rear window. Following then current American styling trends, the windscreen pillars sloped backwards. In fact, the body style was derived directly from the classic 57 Chevrolet Belair, though this was hard to appreciate unless you viewed the cars side by side. Bench seats were fitted front and rear trimmed in Rayon and "Elastofab" and two colour interior trim was standard. The Super model had extra chrome trim, notably around the windows, remnants of the signature Vauxhall bonnet flutes ran along the front flanks. The exhaust pipe coming through the rear bumper, arm rests on the doors, door operated courtesy lights, a two spoke steering wheel and twin sun visors. An estate variant was launched in 1958. When re-styled, as the series II, the car lost all of its 57 Chevy styling detail and the teardrop shaped 'Vauxhall' flutes were replaced by a single chrome side-stripe running nose to tail. The sculpted 'porthole' rear bumper tips, which rusted badly due to exhaust residue, were replaced by plain, straight ones. Interestingly, the old bumper ends continued to be used for many years on a variety of motor coaches and ice-cream vans.
Although the engine was of similar size to that of the outgoing Wyvern it was in critical respects new. Fitted with a single Zenith carburettor it had an output of 55 bhp (41 kW) at 4200 rpm and gained a reputation of giving a long trouble free life. This was also the year when Vauxhall standardized on "premium" grade petrol/gasoline, permitting an increase in the compression ratio from the Wyvern's 6.8:1 to 7.8:1. Premium grade petrol had become available in the UK at the end of 1953, following an end to post-war fuel rationing, and at that time offered average octane level of 93, but in the ensuing four years this had crept up to 95 (RON).
The Victor's three-speed gearbox had synchromesh on all forward ratios and was operated by a column-mounted lever. In early 1958 Newtondrive two pedal control was available as an option.
Suspension was independent at the front by coil springs and with an anti-roll bar was fitted on a rubber mounted cross member. The rear suspension used a live axle and semi elliptic leaf springs. Steering was of the recirculating ball type. Lockheed hydraulic 8 in (203 mm) drum brakes were used.
A "Super" version tested by The Motor magazine in 1957 had a top speed of 74.4 mph (119.7 km/h) and could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 28.1 seconds. A fuel consumption of 31.0 miles per imperial gallon (9.11 L/100 km; 25.8 mpg-US) was recorded. The test car cost £758 including taxes. The estate car cost GBP931.
A Series II model was announced in 1959 with simplified styling. The new car was available in three versions with a De-Luxe as the top model featuring leather trim and separate front seats.
FB Series and VX4/90
The cleaner styled FB ran from 1961 until 1964. It was widely exported, though sales in the US ended after 1961 when Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Buick came up with home-grown compact models of their own. Consequently, the FB only achieved sales of 328,000 vehicles by the time it was replaced in 1964. The body styling owed nothing to any US GM influence, the flat front and turtle-deck rear resembling some older US Fords. Mechanically, the main change was the option of a 4-speed all-synchromesh transmission with floor change but the previously used 3-speed column change unit was still fitted as standard. The engine was also revised with higher compression ratio and revised manifolding increasing the power output to 49.5 bhp (37 kW; 50 PS). In September 1963 the engine was enlarged from 1508 to 1594 cc. The increased capacity coincided with a further increase in the compression ration of the standard engine from 8.1:1 to 8.5:1, reflecting the continuing increase the average octane level of "premium grade" fuel (on which the Victor unit had by now standardised) offered in the UK, now to 97 (RON). 1963 was also the year when front disc brakes with larger 14 in (360 mm) wheels became an option. Models with the larger engine had a revised frontal treatment with a block style grille element and revised parking lights at either lower extreme of the grille.
A Vynide-covered bench front seat was standard on the base model and Super Victor but individual seats were standard on the De Luxe and optional on the lower priced cars. Other options included a heater, fog lamps, radio, screen washers, reversing light and seat belts.
A 1508 cc "Super" version was tested by the British magazine The Motor in 1961 and was found to have a top speed of 76.2 mph (122.6 km/h) and could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 22.6 seconds. A fuel consumption of 32.2 miles per imperial gallon (8.77 L/100 km; 26.8 mpg-US) was recorded. The test car cost £798 including taxes of £251.
A sporty derivative, the VX4/90, was also available, with twin-carburettor, high-compression, engine giving 71 bhp (53 kW; 72 PS) and servo-assisted brakes. Externally the car was distinguished from the standard car by a coloured stripe down the side, revised grille and larger tail-light clusters. These cosmetic features were essentially similar to the Canadian-market-only Envoy models.
The VX4/90 was available only in saloon form.
The FC (1964–1967) was the first Vauxhall to use curved side-window glass, allowing greater internal width: the Estate derivative was noted as being especially capacious for its class. The FC Victor was marketed as the Victor 101, the name arising from the claim that there were '101 improvements' over the FB. Bench or separate front seating was offered, with three-speed column-change gearbox or the optional four-speed floor change. A 'Powerglide' two-speed automatic transmission was also available. Another US feature was that the optional radio was incorporated into the bright-metal dashboard trim. An innovative styling cue, which was adopted four years later by the Audi 100, was the incorporation of the side and indicator lamps in the front bumper, as had been common practice in the US for many years. The sculpted bumpers were, for the first time in the UK, contiguous with the body styling. The overall look of the car was unique in GM, with its slab sides outlined with brightwork seam covers incorporating the door handles. This, with the full width grille incorporating the headlights, was more reminiscent of the Lincoln Continental.
The FC (101) was the last of the overhead valve Victor models and had racked up 238,000 sales by the end of its run in late 1967 when the 'Coke bottle'-shaped FD replaced it. As with the rest of the running gear, the sporting VX 4/90 was developed from the FB series and offered an alloy head, higher compression ratio, twin-Zenith 34IV carburettors, stiffer suspension and additional instruments. Vauxhall took the VX4/90 seriously enough to offer an optional limited-slip differential, but few cars were ordered with it: the VX4/90 was, by this time, largely overshadowed by the less expensive Ford Cortina GT, which also had a higher profile in race and rally competitions.
Overall, FC survival numbers appear to be less than the F, FB and even FD series, due to bad rust problems, so examples are rare, unfairly forgotten, and undervalued.
Towards the end of the model run, in May 1967, a Victor 101 de luxe was road tested by Britain's Autocar magazine. The vehicle tested came with a four-speed floor-change gearbox and the 1595 cc engine delivering a claimed 66 bhp. A maximum speed of 81 mph (130 km/h) was achieved, which matched that achieved by a recently tested Austin A60 Cambridge and a Ford Cortina 1600 de luxe. The Victor accelerated to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 20.4 seconds, which was slightly quicker than the Austin but slightly slower than the lighter Cortina. The Vauxhall's overall fuel consumption for the test, at 23.1 mpg (10.9 l/100 km) placed it at the bottom of this class by more than 10%, while its manufacturer's recommended retail price of £822 was higher than that asked for the Austin at £804 or for the Ford at £761. (A lower price of £806 would have been available on the Victor if the test car had come with the three-speed column-change gearbox and all-round drum brakes.) The overall tone of the test was cautiously positive, with plaudits for the comfort, the lightness of the controls, the (optional) servo-assisted disc/drum brakes and the road holding, but adverse comments concerning the extent of the Victor's propensity to roll and the rather low gearing which accentuated the variability of fuel consumption according to driving style.
All Victors sported a different grille treatment for 1967, a final-year facelift that was standard Vauxhall practice at the time. This had a more finished and upmarket look with sturdier bars rather than the cheaper looking criss-cross element on earlier cars.
FD Series
The FD (1967–1972) was released at a time when the UK was undergoing a currency crisis as well as increasingly militant labour relations, resulting in rising prices and poorer quality. On paper, this new 1599 cc and 1975 cc overhead camshaft engine design (the Slant Four) was advanced but suffered an out of balance couple which earned it the US tag 'Hay Baler'. The suspension design of the car was far less compromised than most previous British mass-produced efforts, featuring a live axle with trailing arms, Panhard rod and coil springs instead of the traditional leaf springs, and a double wishbone front suspension assembly, but the FD's on-road performance and durability were less than its on paper promise in standard form. Independent tuner Blydenstein could effectively transform the overhead cam Victors to fulfill their advanced specifications.
The FD, however, departed from the traditional Victor family car bench front seat norm (there were still models with bench seats however) and could be ordered with comfortable contoured bucket seating front and rear. This was standard on the Victor 2000 (later 2000 SL with the facelift for 1970) and optional on the Victor 1600 (renamed Super with the 1970 facelift). Bucket seats were standard on the more sporty VX4/90 and six-cylinder Ventora versions, with the latter having reclining backrests as standard from 1969. All bucket seat models dispensed with the column shift and adopted a four-speed floor shift, with overdrive standard on manual VX4/90s and optional on the Ventora.
In February 1968 Vauxhall launched the Vauxhall Ventora, which was in effect a marriage of the Victor FD body with the 3.3-litre six-cylinder engine hitherto offered only in the larger Cresta and Viscount models. The Ventora offered a claimed 123 bhp (92 kW; 125 PS) of output compared with 88 bhp (66 kW; 89 PS) from the 2-litre 4-cylinder Victor, also featuring correspondingly larger front disc-brake calipers. The Ventora therefore differed most spectacularly from its siblings through its effortless performance: in that respect it had no obvious direct competitor at or near its price (£1,102 including taxes in February 1968) on the UK market. The interior was also enhanced, with extra instrumentation including a rev counter. From the outside Ventoras can be identified by their wider tyres, a front grille of toothy-harmonica like gaps in place of the Victor's closely packed horizontal bars, and a black vinyl roof. May 1968 saw the return to the Vauxhall range of a Victor estate, now based on the Victor FD. The estate, like the saloon, offered a choice of 1599 cc or 1975 cc four-cylinder engines and was also offered with the 3294 cc engine normally found in the Vauxhall Cresta. (The Victor estate 3294 was the only six-cylinder Victor offered on the domestic market, although the Ventora was effectively a six-cylinder Victor saloon by another name.) Rear suspension was beefed up on the estate models and all apart from the base 1599 cc version came with front wheel disc brakes. As on the FD saloon, however, the standard transmission was a three-speed manual gear box controlled from a column-mounted lever. A four-speed box with a floor-mounted gear lever was available at extra cost on the four-cylinder models, although it was included in the overall package for buyers of the Victor 3294 cc estate. The floor-mounted lever was set well forward to enable it to remain clear of the bench front seat which was standard in the 1599 cc versions. Sales of the FD came in below those of the FC, at 198,000 or so units produced over a slightly longer production run that ended in December 1971, though new cars were offered for sale until the arrival of the Victor FE in March 1972. The lower numbers reflected the effects of a long strike Vauxhall underwent in 1970, as well as the closing off of some export markets — the FD was the last Victor to be sold in Canada as either a Vauxhall or Envoy, and the last to be officially imported (and assembled) into New Zealand.
As well as the 1.6 and 2.0 I4s, the FD series was also available in New Zealand (sedans only; wagons were rare imports) with the larger Cresta PC's 3294 cc engine, badged as the Victor 3300, later 3300SL. These were manufactured with a choice of 4-speed manual gearbox or a 2-stage GM Powerglide automatic and most, apart from early cars, had the Ventora's grille. The Holden Trimatic gearbox was available for the last models. Bench (earlier models only) or bucket front seats were available.
A one-off Ventora was the 'Black Prince', a concept car built by Gordon-Keeble in 1971 using an FD chassis. The car featured a 5.4 litres V8 Chevrolet engine, ZF 5-speed gearbox and a limited slip differential. Special features included a Sony 4 band radio which could be removed from the dashboard and used as a portable radio, auxiliary dials, Lucas Square 8 fog lights, matt black bonnet, dash mounted ice detector and map lights. The car was offered for sale in 1972 for approximately 3,000 pounds, and was allegedly broken up in the late 1980s, with the owner using the running gear in a kit car.
The last of the Victors, launched in March 1972, was the FE (1972–1976). Magazine and newspaper advertisements used the marketing slogan, "NEW VICTOR - The transcontinentals". The car appeared substantially larger than its predecessor, but was actually no wider and only 2 inches (5 cm) longer with much of the extra length accounted for by larger bumpers. Nevertheless, a higher cabin and improved packaging enabled the manufacturer to boast of 1.5 inches (38 mm) more leg room in the front and no less than 4 inches (100 mm) of extra leg room in the back, with virtually no loss of boot/trunk capacity. Useful increases in headroom and shoulder-level cabin width were also achieved through the use of differently shaped side panels and windows.
Most UK cars in this class featured manual transmission and with the FE Vauxhall belatedly fell into line with their principal UK competitor by including a four-speed gearbox - available only at extra cost on the old Victor FD - as standard equipment. The FE's extra weight presumably made this development irresistible. The four-speed transmission used the same box and ratios across the range, from the 1759 cc Victor to the torquey 3294 cc Ventora-badged version: contemporary road tests of the four-cylinder cars comment adversely on the wide gap - highlighted on the mountain roads included in the Portuguese route chosen for the car's press launch - between second and third gears. Although the architecture of the suspension remained as before, numerous detailed modifications were made to counter criticism of the old model. Changes included an anti-roll bar as standard equipment on all but the entry-level models, and stiffer springs at the back, intended to compensate for the Victor's tendency to understeer. At the front the springing remained soft by the standards of the time: the track was widened (by 1.7 inches / 4 cm) and wheel geometry modified to incorporate "anti-dive action", improvements intended to address the Victor's tendency to wallow, which by then was attracting criticism from performance-oriented commentators. The new Victor shared its floorpan with the Opel Rekord but retained a distinct bodyshell, its own suspension and rack-and-pinion steering as opposed to the Rekord's recirculating ball unit. The front end incorporated the then advanced detail of having the slim bumper bisect the grille, with a third of the grille and the side-lights (on quad headlamp models) below the bumper line. This potentially attractive feature was completely ruined in markets where the licence plate was mounted so as to conceal the lower part of the grille. Comparisons between the Victor and its broadly similar Rüsselsheim built cousin were inevitable. An important difference from the back seat involved the rear doors. The Opel's door incorporated rear quarter lights and windows that wound fully down into the door whereas Vauxhall's designers preferred the "cleaner uncluttered look" arising from their elimination of rear quarter lights. The fact that back seat passengers could only open their windows down to approximately a third of their depth before further opening was blocked by the presence of the wheel arches was held out as a safety feature to complement the fitting of child-proof locks, given that back-seat passengers would no doubt include small children. Despite the absence of shared body panels anywhere that they could be seen, detailed investigation disclosed that minor assemblies such as the door locks and the wiper mechanisms were shared with the Opel Rekord D.
The FE Victor was the last Vauxhall to be designed independently of Opel. The engines were carried over from the FD range although enlarged to 1759 cc and 2279 cc. For a short period, the straight-six engine was used in the Ventora and 3300SL models, the latter effectively a Victor Estate with lesser trim than the luxury Ventora. The estates had a more sloping rear, similar to a hatchback, than the Rekord equivalent. The FE estate in fact had perfect 50/50 weight distribution.
1974 finally saw the introduction of a proper Ventora Estate, along with running changes for the rest of the range.
World energy crises, falling exports and an increasingly muddled image led to Vauxhall's decline during the early 1970s, such that sales of the FE slumped to 55,000 units before it was transformed to the VX series in early 1976.
At the start of 1976 the relatively large 1800 cc Vauxhall Victor came with a recommended sticker price lower than that of the more modern but smaller and relatively well equipped Vauxhall Cavalier GL which will have encouraged fleet managers to negotiate for higher discounts on the Cavalier and left the basic Victor looking embarrassingly underpriced. To try to move the Victor upmarket, Vauxhall upgraded the trim level of the basic Victor 1800 cc to match that of the 2300 cc version, with improvements that included fabric seat trim, a new clarified instrument display embellished with mock timber surround as well as a new central console. Seat belts and hazard warning flashers were now included in the recommended price across the range. Under the bonnet / hood various upgrades were made to the 1800 cc engine which now offered 88 bhp (66 kW; 89 PS) of output in place of the 77 bhp (57 kW; 78 PS) previously claimed. The changes carried a weight penalty, but performance was nevertheless usefully improved with top speed up from 89 mph (143 km/h) to 100 mph (161 km/h). To draw attention to the changes Vauxhall also dropped the Victor name, and the car, which also replaced the Victor based VX4/90, became the Vauxhall VX. The VX Series is distinguished from the outside by a simplified grille and revised headlights.
Since the demise of the Vauxhall Cresta more than three years earlier, only the Ventora had used the old Vauxhall six-cylinder engine: but now the four-cylinder VX 2300 GLS replaced the six-cylinder FE Ventora as Vauxhall's flagship.
The more sporting VX 4/90 was re-introduced, now based on the VX (formerly Victor FE), in 1978 with a 5-speed close-ratio Getrag gearbox, initially for mainland European export markets only. The car featured a modified, twin-carburettor version of the existing 2279 cc four-cylinder engine for which an output of 116 bhp (87 kW; 118 PS) was claimed, and a prototype fuel-injected variant was tested but not put into production. The car was fitted with halogen headlights and supplementary fog-lights fitted beneath the front bumper, and also benefitted from extra sound-deadening materials to reduce road noise. The side window frames were fashionably blackened, and only four exterior colours could be specified, of which three were metallic. The manufacturer stated that the UK market would receive right-hand-drive versions of this latest incarnation of the VX 4/90 only in 1978. By 1978 the Vauxhall Carlton was moving quietly into the showrooms, and it is not clear exactly when Luton production of the FE-based VX 4/90s was ended, but the model continued to be listed until early 1979.
The VX four-ninety was first added, in approximately 1962, to the FB series as a performance oriented version. During the FB series, the name changed slightly to VX 4/90 which continued, until the FE range. The final VX 1978 incarnation was badged VX490. The VX Four Ninety designation originally came from its engineering designation - Vauxhall eXperimental four-cylinder engine of 90 in³ capacity. As well as performance increasing modifications, VX 4/90s also had a number of exterior and interior modifications to distinguish them from Victors.
The Ventora, was introduced to the FD series sold between 1968 until it was dropped from the FE series in 1976. This used the Victor bodyshell, but had the Bedford derived 3294 cc straight six engine from the larger Cresta models. Again, the Ventora was distinguished from the Victor by improved trim levels
Victor specials
Big Bertha
A special version of the FE was the one-off 1974 Holden-Repco Ventora, nicknamed "Big Bertha", built to compete in the "Super Saloon" category of British motor sport. Driven by Gerry Marshall, this car was fitted with a race-tuned 5.0 L V8 Holden engine and bore little resemblance to the production car, except in its overall appearance. However the design was ill-fated, and suffered an accident in its sixth race. It was considered too big and too heavy, and had serious handling problems, even in Marshall's capable hands. Eventually it was decided to build a new, much smaller car around the same engine and chassis (much shortened) and this car was given the silhouette of the "droopsnoot" Firenza. Nicknamed "Baby Bertha", this car was very successful and went on to dominate the sport until Vauxhall moved from racing into rallying in 1977.

Step Inside Supermodel Cara Delevingne's Delightfully Dizzying Los Angeles Pad
Fabulous genes are not the only inheritance that supermodel and actress Cara Delevingne received from her mother, Pandora. "She used to tell us, 'If you say you're bored, then you are boring,' " recalls Cara, the youngest of the three Delevingne sisters. That kernel of wisdom clearly stuck—Cara Delevingne is anything but boring, as her private Los Angeles pleasure dome ably attests. The house feels like Saint-Tropez meets Coney Island meets Cotswolds cottage meets Monte Carlo meets butch leather bar. It's a heady brew, to be sure, but Delevingne takes it all in stride.
"My work requires me to put on many different hats and costumes. I love slipping into these various characters, so I wanted my home to reflect lots of different themes and moods," says the unapologetic voluptuary.
The poker room has a vintage games table and a wheel of fortune from the Santa Monica pier.
Landscape design by Anton Prack. Chaise longues and umbrellas by One Kings Lane.
Architect Nicolò Bini of Line Architecture, Delevingne's accomplice/enabler in decorative extravagance (see AD, September 2019), fulfilled his client's mandate with gusto. First there's the nature theme, explicated in countless design gestures: walls sheathed in a Gucci wallpaper of overscaled herons; a massive snake carpet in the billiards room and a climbing-leopard carpet on the stair to the upper-floor fun house; a flock of bird sculptures by Mexican artist Sergio Bustamante; and a king's ransom in ferns, palms, topiaries, and other houseplants.
Then there's the fun-and-games theme, represented by a tented poker room; a jolly ball pit; a display wall of kooky hats and a costume room for dress-up parties; and two trampolines set into the ground near the floaty-stocked pool. "I love games—charades, beer pong, poker, Cards Against Humanity, tug-of-war, whatever feels fun. When my friends come over, the house turns into an obstacle course. It's like an indoor/outdoor playground by way of Alice in Wonderland," Delevingne observes. "If I'm having a bad day, I just hop in the ball pit. You can't really cry in a ball pit," she adds.

The white-brick residence, nominally English-country style, was built in 1941 for members of the Von der Ahe family, founders of the Vons supermarket chain. A deeply religious clan, the Von der Ahes are said to have hosted Pope John Paul II at the house when he visited L.A. in 1987. It's unclear what His Holiness would have made of Delevingne's vagina tunnel, a secret passageway concealed behind a low, painted panel, which leads from the living room to an adjacent bunk room. One enters the so-called rebirth canal through a vulval soft sculpture (think Judy Chicago on acid) and then proceeds to crawl out of a round washing-machine door suggestive of a rectum.
The pontiff also might have done a double take, if not a full-on spit take, at the sight of Delevingne's attic party bunker, replete with a mirrored ceiling, a tasseled swing, serpentine soft seating inspired by the Courrèges logo, wrist and ankle restraints, and, of course, the obligatory stripper pole. "Cara is a creature of pure delight. This place is her ultimate expression of home—a Cara-style fantasy filled with references to the many things that turn her on," Bini explains, emphasizing the joy he found in indulging the madcap desires of his free-spirited client and her circle of international glamour-pusses.
Yet despite all the blingy accoutrements—the Chanel surfboard, the David Bowie memorial bathroom, the Chemical X bull's-eye sculpture made of thousands of Ecstasy pills suspended in acrylic—Delevingne insists that her house is more than simply a louche theme park. "It still feels like a home. There's a proper dining room and living room and a great kitchen. But it's also a kind of journey. The deeper in you go, the more treasures you discover," she says.

On February 1st, Microsoft released the first official version of the Kinect SDK and It is better than ever!
If you are starting to play with this cool "toy", you are probably finding many problems in your way. I have been struggling with WPF and its way to paint stuff on the screen for a while now, and these two things are quite basic when we talk about the Kinect.
So this afternoon, my friend Jesús Domínguez gave me a call asking me for my old Kinect projects. He just bought a new Kinect and wanted to use the latest SDK.
I have been always interested in this device, so we spent this cold afternoon trying to simplify Microsoft's code in order to give you the simplest, shortest, and easiest source code you can use to get the Depth stream from the Kinect.
///All code is based on the Kinect Explorer Example.
///with the final version of the Kinect SDK released by Microsoft in February.
///This example shows the minimum code required to get the depth image drawn in a WPF program.
///this in a simple way.
//Format of the last Depth Image.
//Check if the format of the image has changed.
//Convert the pixel data into its RGB Version.
/// Converts the depth frame into its RGB version taking out all the player information and leaving only the depth.
//We don't care about player's information here, so we are just going to rule it out by shifting the value.
//We are left with 13 bits of depth information that we need to convert into an 8 bit number for each pixel.
//There are hundreds of ways to do this. This is just the simplest one.
//Lets create a byte variable called Distance.
//We will assign this variable a number that will come from the conversion of those 13 bits.
//XBox Kinects (default) are limited between 800mm and 4096mm.
//XBox Kinects (default) are not reliable closer to 800mm, so let's take those useless measurements out.
//Convert the realDepth into the 0 to 255 range for our actual distance.
//Use the distance to paint each layer (R G & B) of the current pixel.
//If you move the wheel of your mouse after the slider got the focus, you will move the motor of the kinect.
//We have to be very careful doing this since the kinect might get unresponsive if we send this command too fast.
//Since we are coming from a triggered event, we are not expecting anything here, at least for this short tutorial.

Will Guns N' Roses Tour Australia In 2017?
Emmy Mack Jun. 07, 2016
UPDATE 17/08/16: It's official — Guns N' Roses have announced a 2017 Australian stadium tour.
UPDATE 15/08/16: A video advertisement promoting a February 2017 Guns N' Roses Australian tour has now leaked.
UPDATE 15/08/16: A billboard for a Guns N' Roses show in Melbourne in 2017 has been spotted, with the band still yet to announce an Aussie tour.
ORIGINAL STORY: Well, well, well. You just can't tell… if the rumours are true.
But there are rumours going around that the (mostly) original Guns N' Roses lineup are planning an Australian visit for January of 2017.
As Alternative Nation reports, a fan on the MyGNRForum recently claimed that "Fernando" – a member of Gunners' management company, Team Brazil – gave him the lowdown on the band's massive world tour plans.
According to old mate, Axl, Slash, Duff & co will kick off the New Year with an Aussie tour in January, followed by Japan in February and then Europe in late 2017.
He even posted a photo of himself hanging out with 'Nando as evidence that his claims weren't total BS:
A quick scope at LinkedIn reveals that a man named Fernando Lebeis is indeed a music manager at Team Brazil, while other fan sites list him as the son of Axl Rose's long time personal assistant, Beta Lebeis.
Here's a pic from his official Insty too. It's pretty much defo the same dude:
https://www.instagram.com/p/sWfvZlwkVv/?taken-by=flebeis&hl=en
Which of course proves nothing except that the GNR fanboy was telling the truth about hanging out with him.
But still, it's hard not to get excited at the prospect of his claims being legit.
The last time that Guns 'N Roses toured Australia with key members Slash, Duff and Axl was 25 freakin' years ago, and despite widespread scepticism about their reunion dates, the veteran band have consistently blown fans' minds with their shows, even with Axl sporting a broken foot.
Plus, the whole Axl-fronting-AC/DC thing started out as just a fan rumour on social media, too.
Gunners' are touring the US across late June, July and August before Axl returns to his aforementioned superstar side project – Acca Dacca – to see out the remainder of their Rock Or Bust world tour dates.
But once those tours wrap up we're hoping beyond hope there'll be more news on Guns N' Roses' forthcoming Aussie tour plans.
UPDATE 01/08/16: Guns N' Roses have expanded their reunion tour into 2017.

We are approaching the second anniversary of the first time I came to preach at Burlington Presbyterian, and yet we are also setting out on a new phase in our journey together, as pastor and congregation. I am excited about celebrating my installation as your next called and installed pastor on February 4th! While I feel that I have gotten to know many of you individually, and as a church, I also still have much to learn. In many ways, we have been in a holding pattern over the past two years, as you grieved the loss of Pastor Mike and prepared the search process through the PNC. We have done well at keeping the basic functions of the church going strong – and have even made some changes here and there! – but we have not delved too deeply into what really makes you passionate and energized to serve Jesus Christ beyond these walls.
As a church, you have supported many missions and ministries both here in your local community, such as People Helping People, Camp Wilmot, and Elmbrook Place, and in the wider world, from Heifer Project International to special offerings for disaster relief and in many other ways. We are a small church, but we can make a significant impact on the lives of those in our pews and in the world around us when we work together. I would love to hear from you about where you think we can make a difference, whether on a local, or larger scale issue.
We will be putting together a mission team to determine where we want to focus our efforts as a church for the upcoming year, and determining some ways we can serve God together in our communities. If you know of opportunities or organizations that would benefit from a group service project, we are open to suggestions! And if you are interested in joining the mission team to help guide our focus and narrow things down, please let me know. This is a time for dreaming new dreams and seeing new visions! What new thing is God doing in the life of Burlington Presbyterian Church, even now?
As Presbyterians prepare to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation this Sunday two prominent Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) theologians say it is an opportunity for the church to reconsider history — and how it tells the story of the past 500 years.
The Rev. Dr. David Gambrell and the Rev. Dr. Charles Wiley of the Presbyterian Mission Agency believe that while the Reformation divided us, we are now witnessing a convergence of the traditions that were separated. They say this presents an opportunity to focus on the gifts we have received from each other and to celebrate what we share.
For past five years, Gambrell participated in the eighth round of Roman Catholic-Reformed dialogue in the United States (2012–2017). This dialogue builds on the work of previous rounds — especially the 2013 Mutual Recognition of Baptism that came out of the seventh round.
Gambrell points out the acknowledgment of each other's ordination already happens, informally. When there is a crisis in the community, Reformed and Catholic leaders get together and figure out to best serve their communities — which participants believe is something to celebrate and build on, as the dialogue continues.
The gifts of Protestants and Catholics will be on display at an upcoming "Commemorations of the Reformations" service at the University of Notre Dame. Wiley, along with Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Episcopal and Roman Catholicbishops, will be one of the co-presiders at the November 5 service.
According to Wiley, the service will celebrate the gifts of the Reformation and acknowledge its sin on behalf of all the participants.
As this commemoration brings joy and gratitude to expression, so must it also allow room for all Christians to experience the pain over failures and trespasses, guilt and sin in the persons and events that are being remembered. The Gospel was mixed with the political and economic interests of those in power. Failures resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Families were torn apart, people imprisoned and tortured, wars fought and faith misused. Human beings suffered and the credibility of the Gospel was undermined with consequences that still impact us today. And so, let us ask God for mercy and forgiveness.
Wiley sees Luther as a valuable and important reformer of the whole Western Church, not just the reformers. But he believes it's also true that during the protest Protestants left behind gifts.
Gambrell has a lasting image from his time spent with other participants in the latest round of Roman Catholic–Reformed dialogue. At their final service of worship together they were surrounded by scaffolding at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, which has been under construction for 100 years.
As we move into the cooler days of fall weather, I find myself thinking about the abundance of good gifts with which we are surrounded here in New England. From the colors of the trees to fresh picked apples and the bounty of local farms, we are truly blessed with many precious gifts from God's creation. We have many activities coming up in the next weeks and months which you can read more about in the newsletter, including the Pumpkin Patch, a YAV Harvest Fundraiser, and the Interfaith Thanksgiving Celebration.
At the same time, there are many places in the world that are not experiencing the abundant blessings of creation right now. People and places that are suffering as a result of natural disasters like the recent round of strong hurricanes that impacted much of the Caribbean and the U.S. mainland, particularly in Puerto Rico, causing devastating damage to infrastructure and leaving our siblings there facing months of uncertainty without power or access to clean water. Crises of human creation are impacting huge numbers of people around the globe as well. The Rohingya people fleeing ethnic cleansing in Myanmar; refugees left in limbo in refugee camps around the world; the Venezuelan people who cannot afford the exorbitant prices for food in their own country; and the escalating war of words between the United States and North Korea, just to name a few of the looming crises our world faces.
We look around at all that is happening and wonder, "What can I do?" "I'm just one person." "I can't possibly change all this." And while it is true that one person cannot take on all the problems of the world, there is certainly plenty that each of us can do to respond to the needs of the world, in whatever ways we are able. There are lots of opportunities to give, through Presbyterian Disaster Assistance and other relief organizations. We have also taken up a collection for new packages of underwear for men, women, and children that we will send to a relief organization working in hurricane-impacted areas. Bring your donations to church by October 8th!
One other way we can make a difference is by coming together as a community. This fall, we will be asking ourselves the question, "Who is my neighbor?" I invite everyone to join us for a kick-off dinner and discussion on October 14th, from 4 – 7 PM at the church. We will be using the new book "A Bigger Table: Building Messy, Authentic, and Hopeful Spiritual Community" by John Pavlovitz as a framework and as an opportunity for further small group discussion. I have pre-ordered some copies of the book; if you are interested in getting one, please let me know.
Here is an excerpt from the book description: "Pastor John Pavlovitz invites readers to join him on the journey to find or build a church that is big enough for everyone… He invites us to build the bigger table Jesus imagined, practicing radical hospitality, total authenticity, messy diversity, and agenda-free community." I hope you will join us as we seek to live into a hopeful, welcoming, and authentic vision of the community Christ calls us to be.
As we look forward to resuming many of our regular activities in our church life together, and in our communities, it is also a time of new opportunities to be a place of welcome for friends old and new alike. One such opportunity is that our church is opening its doors to the Boston Grace Korean Presbyterian Church, and providing space for them to hold worship services during the month of September.
Pastor Shi-Chang Wooh approached me earlier in the summer about looking for a new place for his congregation to worship, as the church where they were meeting in Lexington had grown and needed to expand its own use of the church building. After an initial conversation with the session, we have agreed to shared use of the church for the month of September, and possibly for a longer-term basis. The Korean Church will worship on Sunday afternoons at 2:00, and hold a Wednesday evening Bible study and Friday evening prayer meeting.
Many of the people who come to the Korean Church are here as students, doctors, or other professionals who are in one- to two-year training programs from Korea. The church has grown in the last three years from 12 adults and one child, to about 45 adults and 30 children! Please make our new friends feel welcome and share your hospitality with them, should you be in the building when they are here!
Looking forward to Sunday, October 1st, World Communion Sunday, I have invited their congregation to join us for worship at 10:30 to celebrate communion together. Friends of mine, Kurt Esslinger-Lee and Hyeyoung Lee, who are mission co-workers in South Korea serving as the site coordinators for the Young Adult Volunteer program in Daejon, will be leading us in worship that day and it seemed an ideal way to bring our two communities together. Please join me in welcoming our siblings in Christ to the Presbyterian Church of Burlington!
The coming of the Spirit at Pentecost is like a reverse Tower of Babel story, where rather than separating people from one another based on different languages and cultures, God brings the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ to everyone, in their own native languages, so that all may hear and understand. The Good News is not for one race or people; it is for all people, everywhere, as is made clear at Pentecost. We are living in a time of great division between people; a time when deep fears and hatred toward "the other" have been stirred up and encouraged to fester. Pentecost reminds us that God calls us all to be one; to love one another; to share the Good News of God's love for the world through Jesus Christ through our words and actions.
This poem, written by Jan Richardson, is a beautiful reflection on the blessing that Pentecost offers us, to look beyond ourselves and our own limited world-view, and to be open to the gift of the Spirit at work in our lives and in the world.
it refuses to rise above.
Throughout the season of Lent, a small group has been meeting to discuss the Confession of 1967 and the Belhar Confession, in both their historical context and their meaning for us in the church today. One of the things I appreciate most about these two confessions is their unflinching stance against all forms of discrimination and injustice, and the church's responsibility to resist injustice wherever we encounter it. When we confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, it means that all earthly powers and principalities are secondary to Christ's power in our lives.
The predominant theme through both confessions is reconciliation, both in terms of God's saving act of reconciliation through Christ's death and resurrection, and in terms of how we are to be ambassadors of reconciliation in the world. The word, reconciliation, can be defined as 1.) the restoration of friendly relations following a disagreement or 2.) the act of making one view or belief compatible with another. It feels quite relevant to our present moment in history to be discussing reconciliation.
Acknowledging that we may have differences in how we respond to the social, political, and economic issues of this present moment in history, we must also ask ourselves how we can be ambassadors of Christ's ministry of reconciliation in and for the world. Not just for those who think as we do, who agree with us on the issues we think are most important, or who share our same belief system; but even with those from whom we feel most distant or divided, by ideology, religion, race, or socio-economic circumstance. As we prepare to walk with Jesus down that road to the cross once more, let us remember that it is through Christ's sacrificial love that we find wholeness, and are empowered to be agents of God's reconciling love in the world.
Every birth, every new life, is a mystery. And death is a mystery to us as well. And both are a reminder to us of how we are all connected to the mystery that is greater than ourselves. None of us knows how it will all work out. None of us has all the information we would like. Sometimes we don't have all the information we would like, but we have to make a decision anyway. And in those moments, the best we can do is to step out in faith, like Mary, a young woman faced with carrying that mystery into the world, and trust in the promises of God to catch us.
This Advent season, let us proclaim the mystery of our faith. Let us, like Mary, step out in faith, leave our fears behind, and believe that every word God has said will come true.

Harriers athletes have been in action over the last three weeks across several venues as we head into December...from Wales' capital Cardiff and Glasgow to Aintree Racecourse and Sefton Park in the North West at Liverpool...
Welsh Athletics Junior Indoor Open Meeting Day 1 - Cardiff
Approximately 350 juniors from the under 13, under 15 and under 17 age groups entered and descended on the fantastic National Indoor Athletics Centre at Cardiff Met, Cyncoed Campus on Sunday 1st December. The first of two days of action at the Welsh Athletics Junior Indoor Open event was held this side of Christmas.
Forty clubs were represented in total - eighteen were from all corners of Wales Wales and twenty-two from the English clubs in the South West.
The arena was looking great with parents, coaches and supporters all turning up to encourage and enjoy the opening championship fixture of the winter ahead of the Welsh Athletics Senior and Junior Indoor Athletics Championships coming up over consecutive weekends at the end of January and the beginning of February.
This was the second event at NIAC for younger club and school athletes in the space of a month, following the staging of the Welsh Schools and Welsh Athletics Indoor Combined Events Championships on the first Sunday of November, where International spots were up for grabs on the same weekend up in Glasgow (30/11/19).
Following the same format as in 2018, the Junior Indoor Open in 2019 incorporates the South Wales, East Wales, West Wales and South West England Regional Championships and the competition has been spread out over two days due to the popular growth in all events over recent years.

ELSEWHERE, HERE'S SOME OF THE OTHER RESULTS FROM RECENT FIXTURES OUTSIDE OF WALES...
British & Irish Masters Cross Country International held in England...
It was great to see two Carmarthen Harriers seniors chosen to join their country teammates and represent Wales at the recent British & Irish Masters Cross Country International at Aintree Racecourse on Saturday 16th November.
Congratulations to Wendy Price (18th F35) and Peter Moody (13th M75) who contributed towards the team scores.
British Athletics Cross Challenge Series third leg heads to the North West of England...
Endurance athletes from Carmarthenshire travelled to the North West of England on Saturday 23rd November for the third leg of the 2019 / 2020 British Athletics Cross Challenge Series featuring the best athletes from across the United Kingdom.
There was an excellent third place overall for under 11 athlete William Coles in 7:07 and as a result stood on the podium winning bronze.
Coles was the first across the line when the series opener headed to the Welsh Capital in October and got the season off to the perfect start.
The under 13 boys' trio of Iwan Thomas, Ifan Bowen and Alex Coles tackled the 3km distance in difficult conditions in the fourth race of the programme.
In a fast race, Thomas crossed in fifth spot in 11:14 followed by Bowen closely behind in 24th (11:49) and Coles in 70th (12:36) in a field of over 130 runners.
One of the highlights so far this winter was the outstanding run produced by Frank Morgan at the previous match in Milton Keynes at the beginning of November.
Going head to head with the UK's best in the under 15's, Morgan pulled away from the chasing pack to claim the runners-up spot.
At Liverpool, the Ysgol Bro Myrddin pupil continued his fine form by taking another high placing of fifth (10:09) heading into the remaining two fixtures. His club teammate, Steffan Davies in the same race ran strongly, coming away with a time of 12:35 in 131st.
Huw Davies was the sole competitor that took to the start of the senior men's race featuring over 620 finishers. Running in the vest of the Johnstown club, he clocked 45:50 after completing three circuits of the Sefton Park fields.
Fixture 4 will move to Stirling in Scotland after Christmas in mid-January before the series concludes this year at the UK Inter-Counties Cross- Country Championships in Loughborough at the beginning of March 2020 where champions will be crowned.
Cardiff and Milton Keynes already hosted races before the big event at Liverpool, which incorporated the European Cross-Country Trials to represent Great Britain at the European Championships in Lisbon next week. Six athletes from Wales have since been selected as part of the 40-strong team for Portugal.
British Schools (SIAB) Indoor Combined Events International returns...
Fifteen school pupils from six out of the eight Welsh Districts (Afan Nedd Tawe, Cardiff & Vale, Dyfed, Glamorgan Valleys, North East Wales and South East Wales) made the long trek up to Scotland to represent Welsh Schools Athletic Association at the 2019 edition of the British Schools Indoor Combined Events International (SIAB) on Saturday 30th November, held at the Emirates Arena in Glasgow.
The team came together six days earlier at Swansea University Indoor Athletics Track with team managers ahead of the long trip by coach to Glasgow which began very early on Friday morning!
The International were for competitors in the under 16 and under 18 categories and the Welsh Schools squad enjoyed some encouraging performances against tough opposition. Some had already had valuable experience of the competition whilst for others, it was all about learning and the first of many opportunities for them at this level.
Supporting them all the way were a team management of eight - Phil Warwicker (Schools Team Coach), Team Managers Dai Gatehouse, Zane Maynard, Joan Goldsmith and Steve Jones and event coaches Fyn Corcoran, Rebecca Chapman and Charlotte Wingfield.
Three Pembrokeshire Harriers (Flavia Jenkins, Lucy Wintle, Liam Topp) and one Carmarthen Harrier (Beca Roberts) from the Dyfed District were selected and wore the red vest of Wales following their top placing finishes in Cardiff and battled against the top Combined Event runners, jumpers and throwers from English Schools, Irish Schools and hosts Scottish Schools.
Both age groups, with four athletes per country featuring, completed a pentathlon with 60m Hurdles, Shot Put, 200m / High Jump, Long Jump and 800m to finish off making up the pentathlon.
The Welsh Schools teams placed as the following: Under 16 Girls (2nd TBC); Under 18 Girls (4th 9,612pts); Under 16 Boys (3rd 8,544pts); Under 18 Boys (4th 8,792pts). There was also an individual bronze for Dylan Morgan in the under 16 boys.
A big well done to Beca Roberts, from Ysgol Bro Pedr for being selected to compete at the International again in 2019 and placing 15th. In addition, there were some further great news as she was announced as the overall team captain for the girls, a great honour! Results:
60m Hurdles (10.63); Long Jump (4.90m); High Jump (1.50m); Shot (8.73m); 800m (2:40.84)

The first year of my NBA career was busy, but very productive. I won four Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month awards, and then went on to win the 2013-14 NBA Rookie of the Year and was just the third player since the 1950-1951 season to lead all rookies in scoring, rebounding and assists.
I gave my all in 2013, so much so that when the season ended, my right shoulder needed work. I sought out renowned surgeon Dr. David Altchek to perform surgery on my labrum and to ensure a quick and healthy return to basketball. After six months of rehab, I got back in the game with full range to dribble, pass and shoot with my dominant arm.

'We are like family round here' - What is it like living on Thetford's Abbey Estate?
Published: 1:36 PM December 5, 2019 Updated: 9:39 AM October 11, 2020

For Alison Jueno, it was when a fire destroyed the home of a local woman that she realised the strength of community on Thetford's Abbey Estate.

Ms Jueno, who has lived on the estate for nearly 19 years, and grew up in the area as a child, couldn't help but be proud when neighbours rallied together to help rebuild the victim's life.
She said: "If anything happens the community pulls together.
"There was once a fire up our street and the following weekend the woman had her whole home refurbished because everyone came together to help.
"What I love most is the community spirit and the open spaces and greenery."

Despite the estate's troubled past, and problems with anti-social behaviour, quality of housing, closure of shops and recent problems with county lines, the 52-year-old says it is home to thousands of good people.
Built in 1967, the Abbey Estate was a part of one of the single biggest expansion projects in Norfolk's history.
Once considered state-of-the-art for its architecture and layout, residents have said they think it's time for a "face lift".

Today, Flagship Housing owns 670 of the 1,178 homes in the area, and as talks continue into the future of the Abbey Estate they have been on the ground asking residents what they want.

Ms Jueno spoke about the changes she would like to see. She said: "When I lived on the estate as a kid we had the fort play area and there used to be a building with pool tables, table tennis, darts, TV and sofas, but there is nothing like that for the kids now.
"I would like to see funding in this area, for children's play areas and to get all of the shops open and make this the heart of the community again."
When we walked round the estate on Monday morning, all but the Abbey Neighbourhood centre and Londis corner shop were open for business, surrounded by locked shutters once home to buzzing businesses.

"There used to be a Chinese takeaway and fish and chip shop, a laundrette and hairdressers, fruit and veg, butchers, grocers and a news agent," she said. "I remember when the community centre used to be a club with a bar, and they put on Caribbean nights and darts. It was wonderful.
"I have been here 43 years and I wouldn't move anywhere else. This is my home."
Caroline Powell, an old neighbour of Ms Ball, agreed as they reminisced about their time on the estate.
The 60-year-old, who has lived in the area at different times of her life since 1974, said: "We are all like family around here, we help each other out."

Many people have grown up on the estate surrounded by life-long friends and family which is clear to see as residents regularly stop to say hello to one another.
But despite this community spirit, they admit the estate has had its issues in the past, including anti-social behaviour.

Reshma Jadhav has owned the Londis corner shop with her husband, opposite the community centre, for more than 35 years and says something needs to be done about kids hanging around outside.

She said: "People are too scared to come to the shop and they scare old ladies and young children on their way home.
"We need more activities, sports, education opportunities or work to stop young people hanging around. But things are getting better than what it was before."
Outside two teenagers sat on benches with their hoods up smoking, the distinct smell of marijuana in the air. People who stop to talk say this has always been an problem but there is nothing for young people to do in the area.
Thetford taxi driver, Steve Wright, 50, who has lived in the town for 35 years, said: "I had kids pelt my car with eggs around here the other week at about 9pm.
"I also nearly hit a lad on a motorbike driving down the road, he looked about 13 and he was doing wheelies and overtaking.
"Something needs to be done about all of the bikes. I have had to slam on the breaks many times. It is an accident waiting to happen."
With county lines on the rise and the recent murder in Thetford many are concerned with where these young people could end up.
Kayleigh White, 32, who lives on Canterbury Way, was walking with her three-year-old daughter, who goes to the Bishops Church of England Primary School and said county lines has been an issue in the area.
"After the murder everyone looked out for each other," said Ms White.
"You can name a street and I guarantee there will be county lines going on somewhere.
"Everyone around here knows what's going on, it's just the police need to catch them."
In a bid to make the estate a better place for all to live, the Mayor of Thetford, Brenda Canham, who lives on Salisbury Way, has been working with Flagship and residents to find out what they want.
She said: "I love this community. I always hear about people who move away and then want to come back.
"What happens here happens on every estate and the antisocial behaviour is not as bad as it was, things are improving.
"People have discussed trying to get rid the alley ways, because that's what causes people to be fearful and bikes go through there.
"A lot of people also want lots of greenery. If you have never been to Thetford and you drive through the estate, it's lovely."
Have your say on the Abbey Estate
Anti-social behaviour, garages and the condition of the properties are some of the priorities that matter most to residents of the Abbey estate in Thetford.
A community drop-in session was held on November 19, hosted by Flagship Group, as an opportunity for local people to share their thoughts about living on the estate, to raise any concerns, and feedback ideas.
The sessions have been running since the summer with the aim of understanding the needs and aspirations of the community.
This comes after Flagship Group, Norfolk County Council and Breckland Council agreed to work together to deliver meaningful change for the future direction of the estate.
James Payne, project director with Flagship Group said: "We know that whilst there is a strong sense of community on the estate, there are a number of concerns and challenges.
"What is key is that any improvements that we make will be shaped with local people which is why we are committed to having these conversations with residents."
The next drop in centre will take place on December 10, at the Abbey Neighbourhood Centre.

For my Analysis of Organizational Rhetoric paper, I will analyze women's health organization and reproductive rights advocacy group Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood provides sexual health services for men and women in the United States and globally. Most notably, they receive frequent criticism for providing abortion services to women who wish to terminate their pregnancies. I wish to write on this organization because its mission is threatened by the current Republican administration, which likely changes the delivery and content of their rhetoric. Audiences of this organization's rhetoric include prospective and existing clients of Planned Parenthood, pro-choice individuals who are concerned with the anti-choice political climate often present in contemporary society, and those interested in the study of how organizations use rhetoric to convey messages and ideas.
Understanding the rhetoric produced by Planned Parenthood benefits scholars because the organization's mission is a highly-debated topic in modern politics. I wish to study how their messages change depending upon the administration in power and how they use rhetoric to cope with criticism from anti-choice protesters. Preliminary observations about the organization's messages include emphases on self-education about various sexual health topics, the importance of reproductive freedom, the Trump administration as the enemy of reproductive healthcare, and accessibility of the organization's services to a wide variety of people.
