It was a simple overnight train ride down to Melbourne from Sydney. But now it's a matter of getting the food and supplies organized for the hike this weekend in the Wilsons Prom Wilderness as soon as Carl finishes work.
The past day or so in Sydney was adventurous in its own way. I managed to get up to Australian Geographic and visit the great crew of folks running the show up there, and the night before that (as mentioned in the previous post) I had an adventure getting to the Bush Firefighters meeting of the crew I was a member of while living out here. I met a young Canadian traveler and convinced her to join me on this crazy quest of getting to the remote fire station.
After the hike this weekend, I'll be off to the far west: Perth. Of my year living in Australia, I never made it to Western Australia, which nearly covers a third of the continent! How could I miss it??

'Key and Peele' returns for Season 4
by Lapacazo Sandoval September 18, 2014 October 20, 2021
Credit: Comedy Central
Season 4 of Key and Peele's outrageously funny and unapologetically smart series, "Key and Peele," roars back to Comedy Central Wednesday, Sept. 24.
Happy days are here again! If you haven't caught on to the fact I'm a fan, let me state it plain: I'm a fan! These savvy businessmen can also wear the tag "comic genius" with ease. And if you're not familiar with Key and Peele by now, what the hell's the matter with you?
Keegan-Michael Key (married, 43 years old, from Detroit) and Jordan Peele (single, 35 years old, from New York City) first met at a sketch club in Chicago, and then worked together on "Mad TV," creating comedy with such a signature style of sketch writing and performance dynamics that it demands that you keep eyeballs on them at all times.
This year, they were named to Time magazine's "100 Most Influential People" list. They were also featured on the cover of the magazine's "Ideas" issue. They also won a prestigious Peabody Award, which honors programming excellence.
On their busy press tour to highlight their new season, I got the opportunity to chat with the dynamic duo. It sounds easy, but a cellphone battery drama had me begging—in the rain—for Harlem store owners to let me get a quickie charge.
A final text from the tense publicist, chastising me on my tardiness that simply said, "This isn't good," motivated me to reframe, and I placed myself inside a Key and Peele sketch scenario.
"Yo!" I shouted at a deli owner, whose Arabic rap music was blasting through the door. "Charge me quick. I'm late for a Key and Peele." My Brown brother didn't miss a beat. He replied, "Brazilian [waxing] is better." Then he added, "Naw, Comedy Central funny men—I know."
Saved by the healing power of comedy and it's ability to connect cultures, my interview proceeded.
Here's what Key and Peele had to share about their new season on Comedy Central and what's in their Netflix queue.
AN: Brothers, I'm sorry for the delay. My battery died and I was thrust into the 1980s. After the Time magazine coverage, do people know you by your full names?
Peele: People still don't really know our names: Who's Keegan? Who's Jordan? But just this past year, there's been a difference. We feel very lucky.
Wow, y'all did have a bonus year! What are your favorite characters to play?
Peele: Meegan. Definitely her. I love her and it's nice to get in touch with my femme side. It's liberating not to always have to feel "manly." I work to make her look pretty, even down to her heels, which are terrible to walk in. Like really, what's that about?
Heels? Don't get me started! A cruel, sadistic invention by men to dominate women and make it hella hard to run! What about you, Key?
Key: No heels for me. My favorite character is Mr. Garvey, the substitute teacher. He's clueless to his environment and just doesn't understand the cultural clues that are all around him. He's so afraid of the kids trying to "get over on him" that he's missing every opportunity to connect. He's single-minded and utterly un-PC. That also makes playing the character liberating. He doesn't think, but he speaks—a lot.
Your comedy is built on layers of communication, with body language being front and center. Crafted or all improv?
Key: Both. Our sketches are carefully scripted, so thank you for that observation. The funny is in layers, and the body language is definitely part of it.
I'm getting a text from your PR rep to wrap to up. So, last question: What's in your Netflix queue?
Key: Oh boy. Man, that's hard. Let me think.
At this point, the conversation had become blended and peppered with laughter and the type of cross-talk that's associated with long friendships.
Key: Counting backward, the third favorite spot is held by "BoJack Horseman," "House of Cards" and a documentary about death row—it was fascinating. I think it was called "Into the void." I was just saying to my wife, "If that type of behavior was in a script, no one would buy it." Then, it made me think: Is this behavior authentic, or it it just because the cameras are there?
Peele: Human beings never cease to fascinate. OK, in my cue, "Attack on Titans," "House of Cards" and the documentary called "Let It Burn."

I feel like the most complicated part of planning a trip like this is the process of putting your life in suspended animation. Most of my planning has been for what to do before I leave and while I'm gone from my home country.
What to do with my belongings?
Pack it all, distribute storage amongst friends, sell, and donate.
What to do with my car?
Originally I had thought to keep it, because I really really like it, but as I get closer to the departure date I realize it makes no financial sense to keep making loan payments and insurance payments on a vehicle that no one would be driving. So I have decided to sell it. When I bought it, I had this trip in mind, so I put the loan together in such a way that I could get out from under it without much difficulty. That pre-planning was worth it. Based on the current status of my loan I should be able to sell it and save myself the cost of upkeep and add all that to the bottom line of my trip. With the difference I'm thinking I will buy an old used Conversion Van so that I have a big comfy road couch to drive across the US in, and most likely sleep in.
Due to the way the US insurance system works, a gap in coverage, especially while traveling overseas, would look very bad to insurance companies upon my return. So I need to buy a special travel policy that will cover me for the duration of my travels and be renewable from the road. You would be surprised how difficult this is to find. Most policies are for no longer than 6 months and a few max out at 12 with no way to continue coverage if you aren't done with your trip. The one I've found and plan to use is from Global Underwriters and is called the Diplomat – LT. This policy will allow you to renew from the road for up to 3 years and has all the other goodies like Medical Evacuation, Emergency Dental (see below), repatriation of remains (God forbid) and $500,000 to $1,000,000 worth of medical coverage. Toss on the Hazardous Activities Rider and you're all set.
I realized, thanks to a chipped tooth, that I should deal with any emergent dental situations prior to departure. This lead to me maxing out my dental insurance in December of 06 and I should be maxed out again before the end of Feb. In all 7 cavities and 3 crowns. I decided that it was better money spent now then dealing with an abscess or severe toothache in a developing nation. I've heard some horror stories about dental work in developed countries (Taiwan) and a lack of anesthesia. I'm not interested in that particular experience thank you very much.
By the time I leave I will have spent nearly $1000 maybe more on vaccinations. So far I've been vaccinated for Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Polio, Diphtheria, Tetanus, and a Flu shot for good measure. I still have the Japanese Influenza and Rabies Vaccinations to look forward to. In the end I will have had on the order of 20 shots. I've been advised that I can probably do without a few of them, but really, have you been violently ill in a place 5000 miles from your home? I've had some pretty severe hangovers while traveling and let me tell you… Plus I would rather avoid picking up anything life threatening or permanently damaging as a consequence of this adventure.


The TBM was designed for the project's geology, which transitioned from soil to partial face shale to full face shale rock. The Crossover XRE included features of both EPB and Hard Rock Single Shield TBM types, with a versatile cutterhead that could be configured for hard rock or soft ground conditions. While in soft ground and mixed face conditions the machine operated in closed mode, but once it hit solid rock crews switched excavation to open mode."The machine had the power to get to the other side and made advance rates we never thought we were going to get. It was very successful in hard rock," said Chastka. Advance rates once in full-face shale rock reached a high of 34 m (111 ft) in one day (two 10-hour shifts). Muck removal was achieved using a Robbins continuous conveyor, and conveyor availability remained high throughout the project.
The OCIT Project for the City of Akron, Ohio, USA consists of the construction of a conveyance and storage tunnel system to control Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) for several regulators in the downtown Akron area. The EPA-mandated project includes the 1.89 km (1.17 mi) conveyance and storage tunnel, as well as drop shafts, diversion structures, consolidation sewers, and related structures.


When it comes to lipsticks pink is my colour of choice over all else. Yes, red is synonymous with lips and yes, skin-tone appropriate nudes are so in but I am just drawn to pink lips like a moth to a flame. Of course this isn't a simple addiction to see to when you are a brown girl because not all pinks will work and you run the risk of looking very sick or like you've been sucking on a pink Stabilo Highlighter Pen if you don't select carefully.
A pretty pink that is comfortable to wear and is about as light I could pull off in pink, I think.
My new found love; a creamy peachy pink that brightens the complexion instantly.
My favourite of these, this can be slightly less easy to pull off given that its a blue-toned pink but luckily for me it fulfills all of my criteria to perfection.
A beautifully deep mauve pink that lasts all day and makes me happy.
A comfortable matte pink that would suit a host of different skin tones.

Ключ 74 (трад. и упр. 月) — ключ Канси со значением «луна»; один из 34, состоящих из четырёх штрихов.

В словаре Канси есть 69 символов (из ), которые можно найти c этим радикалом.

История
Серп молодой луны стал исходным символом возникновения двух различных иероглифов «луна» и «вечер».

Самостоятельно иероглиф «луна» употребляется в значениях «луна», «понедельник», «месяц»:
 как в качестве светила (в астрономии обозначает название спутника земли «Луна»),
 так и качестве календарной единицы (солнечный календарь, лунный календарь): в этом случае перед иероглифом «месяц» ставится числительное.

В виде ключевого элемента «луна» используется довольно редко, обычно он стоит в левой части составного иероглифа и реже справа. В сокращенной форме его часто путают с иероглифом «мясо».

В словарях иероглиф находится под номером 74.

Q: connecting to an existing network programmantically How can I connect to an existing network programmatically using WifiManager? I am trying to write a program that connects to a wifi network without having to see the inbuilt android list of available networks.
Thanx

A: If you simply carry out any network operation, say an HTTP request execution, without bothering about the WifiManager, your operation will automatically execute on the network that is currently connected.
If you want to connect to one of the available networks without the user selecting which one, I don't think that is possible. Don't you think that is a blatant breach of the user's preferences & security?
HTH,

Mrs Simpson at Norala Garden is Non Smoking.
Unfortunately won't accept families with children under 8, and children have to be supervised by an adult along the creek at all times. This is because Norala Garden has direct and unfenced access to Baker's Gully, which is a seasonal creek that can flow strongly at times, and contains a few deeper pools.
We spent a wonderful 4 nights at this property and even though we had pretty much non stop rain for the duration we still managed to enjoy!
The cottage had all the amenities for a comfortable stay and the gardens and yard are just amazing. Can just imagine what a spectacle it would be in spring and Autumn. The river and walks just outside of the back gate were a great edition to enhance our stay.
We also spent days exploring the surrounding towns of Beechworth and the gourmet region of Milawa.
We cannot say enough good things about our wonderful stay at this amazing place! From the minute we stepped through the front door we were enveloped in the warmth and welcoming ambience of this cosy, delightful cottage. Everything was just perfect...from the log fire...the inviting lounges...the beautiful bedrooms....TWO bathrooms....superbly equipped kitchen....the list goes on. Then there was that garden!! What a magnificent creation offering such peace and beauty. Our sincerest thanks to Mike, Mette and Yvonne for sharing this Utopia with us. We WILL be back!!!
Thanks both for appreciating this so much!
Thankyou Mike and Matte you have added lots of love and attention to the interior to match the exterior Gardens! From the comfy beds to the lovely Bathrooms, laundry and oh my goodness the kitchen.

Thx for your review, we are thrilled people appreciate the package of beauty, comfort and seclusion in the middle of town.

GDP growth in the last quarter of 2018 should have been in line with French domestic demand: weak. Instead, the economy expanded 0.3% quarter-on-quarter thanks to a surprising bounce from exports. The one-quarter export growth of 2.4%, coupled with weakened imports by weak investment and sluggish consumption (see below), allowed the current account deficit to decline, contributing to GDP growth by 0.7 percentage points, according to the first estimate published by INSEE. This is the largest contribution of foreign trade since 3Q17 and comes at a time when the effective exchange rate of the euro (its weighted-average exchange rate against the currencies of all trading partners in the euro area ) is at an eight-year high. The contribution of exports is, therefore, all the more exceptional.
This is due to the particular weakness of the euro against the US dollar, which allowed stronger growth in exports to the US in October and November, while exports to France's main trading partners (Chart 1) were less buoyant because of the lower level of activity recorded in the eurozone.
While net exports will have had a particularly high contribution to growth in 2018 (0.6 percentage points is the highest since 2012), we do not believe that this trend will continue in 2019. Indeed, the decline in world trade and the slowdown in the eurozone may have an impact on French external demand. On the other hand, the expected recovery in domestic demand is expected to increase imports. Finally, the recent gains from exports do not seem to stem from a particular improvement in the competitive position of France which has, at best, stabilised over the last two years, but rather from temporary exchange rate effects.
After the positive surprise from exports, the growth report in the last quarter of the year only confirmed fears about the impact of the crisis of confidence generated by the "yellow vest" protests. Private consumption has stagnated, bringing its growth rate in 2018 to just 0.9%, the lowest rate since 2014. Household investment in new construction experienced another quarter of contraction (-0.4% QoQ after -0.1% in 3Q18) despite low interest rates. These figures, while in line with expectations, are nonetheless a major drag on growth. As the first quarter is expected to be only marginally better, consumption growth in 2019 is expected to be just over 1%.
In contrast, business investment was still up in 4Q18, by 0.3% QoQ. This brings the growth rate to 3.9% in 2018, which is very positive given the weakness of domestic demand. If we note a slowdown in the last few months of the year, we nevertheless note that the use of production capacity remains high, which is why we do not expect a major drop in the pace of investment in 2019, especially as order books remain relatively well filled and financing conditions will remain very favourable.
Domestic demand will still take time to recover from the abnormal levels of anxiety shown in consumer surveys at the beginning of the year. Given the weaker European economic backdrop that is expected in 2019 and 2020, we believe GDP growth will return to potential, or 1.3% YoY, in both years. If domestic demand recovers slightly, it is likely that external trade will weigh on growth (as it usually does) as the euro catches up some ground against the US dollar over the next two years and less dynamic world trade affects demand for French exports. Note that on this front, all forecasts are made under a 'no hard Brexit' assumption.

Nestled between scores of high-rise buildings and mesmerising temples, these Bangkok markets are spiked with a certain energy and madness. Here, if you roll up your sleeves and dig in the right places, you'll find everything from Thai handicrafts and fashionable clothing to a variety of delectable eats. Work your way through these eclectic markets in Bangkok and you'll soon come to realise why the city is often called the shopping capital of Thailand.


RFC-34 is titled "Some Brief Preliminary Notes on the ARC Clock", by Bill English, dated February 26th, 1970. It continues the clock conversation we find in RFCs 28, 29, and 32.
The ARC in "ARC clock" refers to SRI/ARC, the Stanford Research Institute's Augmentation Research Center. So in the previous RFC discussions where the "SRI clock" is referenced, I'm assuming that's the same clock as we're talking about here.
English defines absolute time as two 24-bit words (chunks of memory), where one word holds the month, day, and year. The other word holds the hour, minute, and second. Relative time is just a number that ticks up once every 1 millisecond or sometimes once every 0.1 milliseconds, and is relative to whenever you initially set it, kind of like a stopwatch.
English claims that oscillator drift will accumulate not more than 1 second of error every 250 days. That's... really accurate, and is on the same order of magnitude I calculated in the Analysis section of my post on RFC-32.
At the time of these RFCs, SRI was a Stanford University affiliated nonprofit known as the Stanford Research Institute, but right around the time these RFCs were being written, it was formally separated from Stanford University and eventually became known as SRI International. The split was apparently motivated by students protesting Stanford's role in the Vietnam War; the institute took millions in defense funding and was, according to historian Stuart W. Leslie, seen as a symbol of the US military's presence on the school campus. For more, you can read this chapter from Leslie's 1993 book The Cold War and American Science: The Military-Industrial-Academic Complex at MIT and Stanford.


The Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility has cleared New Jersey's ex-acting U.S. Attorney and the former head of the Newark FBI of wrongdoing related to statements they made in 2009 at a press conference regarding a major public corruption indictment of more than 40 people, the Newark Star-Ledger reported.
The Justice Department concluded that ex-acting U.S. Attorney Ralph Marra and Weysan Dun, who headed the FBI's New Jersey office at the time, but now heads up the Omaha Division, acted properly, the Star-Ledger reported.
The Justice Department had been looking into allegations that the men stepped over the line when they made comments about the probe. Some accused them of making inflammatory comments to help boost ex-U.S. Attorney Chris Christe's chances in his run for New Jersey governor, the Star-Ledger reported. Christie won.
"The politicians willingly put themselves up for sale. For these defendants, corruption was a way of life. They existed in an ethics-free zone," Mara said at the press conference, according to the paper.
"Based upon the results of our investigation, we concluded that you did not violate any professional obligation and thus did not commit professional misconduct or exercise poor judgment in this matter," wrote Mary Patrice Brown, acting counsel for the office.

RPN - an interactive installation
RPN v. 1.1, "BEYOND THE SEVEN" exhibition, 2017
RPN @ "OS (SYSTEMS' OBJECTS)", 17th Media Art Biennale WRO 2017 DRAFT SYSTEMS
"RPN" - an interactive installation by Pawel Janicki - explores the artistic potential of the reverse Polish notation for creating generative and interactive musical and visual compositions with the elements of live coding and interaction through the users' mobile devices. The installation uses a laser and classic projections combined with multichannel sound environment.
The reverse Polish notation (RPN) is a mathematical notation in which every operator follows all its operands and was developed chiefly by Jan Łukasiewicz, a Lviv-born Polish mathematician and member of what has come to be known as the Polish School of Mathematics, the work of which is internationally considered to have contributed substantially to the advancement of mathematics and information sciences.
Janicki not only uses the reverse Polish Notation as a mathematical and artistic technique, but toys with the colloquial meaning of "the reverse", understood as a repositioning of the existing order and a capacity to disagree and, generally, to go against the tide.
"RPN" was presented during the "OS (SYSTEMS' OBJECTS)" exhibition, a part of the 17th Media Art Biennale WRO 2017 DRAFT SYSTEMS at the National Museum ( May 17 – June 11, 2017, Wroclaw / Poland). "RPN v. 1.1" was presented during the BEYOND THE SEVEN exhibition, a part of the Warsaw Gallery Weekend and the Digital Cultures conference organized by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute. The exhibition was organised by ECHO Investment and WRO Center for Media Art Foundation at The Dom Słowa Polskiego Printing House (September 20th – October 4th, 2017, Warsaw / Poland).
The installation was produced with the support of the Adam Mickiewicz Institute.

Over the past months, I have noticed the negative media coverage on improper drinking glass cleaning in guest rooms. The reports so far have focused on mainland hotels. What, if any, strategies can you provide to eliminate such concerns for Hawaii's hotels?
Yes, I am very much aware of this and have also seen a few of the media reports on television, two specifically on Fox News.
In the early 1980s, such concerns were addressed by Hawaii's hotels. Executive housekeepers and members of the then National Executive Housekeepers Association worked with the then Hawaii Hotel Association and Hawaii Board of Health on what was considered to be the proper cleaning processes to avoid such concerns. Hawaii's hotels that have ensured ongoing training, performance measurements and management inspection programs have had success. I'm sure you will agree that we certainly do not want to see such negative media coverage on drinking glass cleaning or cleaning in general about Hawaii's hotels.
In developing a housekeeping manual titled a "Pail Full of Training" in 1995, the following on drinking glasses was included as one of the technical topics for hotel housekeeping operations. In my professional opinion, these two processes are the best approaches to employ when providing reusable drinking glasses in guest rooms. When trained properly and monitored, the processes work successfully.
The following procedures were approved by the Department of Health's requirements on sanitizing guest room drinking glasses in hotel rooms in the state of Hawaii.
The major components of the procedures address: Separation of supplies and tools, washing, rinsing and sanitizing processes. Each hotel is required to adopt operating procedures to meet these established requirements.
All equipment used will be clearly marked to identify them from other cleaning materials and supplies and placed in a separate compartment or caddy to store cleaning utensils, an all-purpose spray bottle and an approved sanitizer.
1) Clean and sanitize sink; 2) Wash glass with, all-purpose cleaner or dishwashing detergent; 3) Rinse glass under hot running water; 4) Sanitize by spraying the approved sanitizer into the glass; 5) Air dry or dry with disposable towels.
Use a dishwasher or a three-compartment sink as required for food establishments. Every hotel is required to incorporate procedures into their training program. Effectiveness of training should be assured through supervisory procedures. In condo/hotel operations, drinking glasses will be washed and sanitized in the kitchen or where a separate bar sink is available.
1) Countertops and basins must first be cleaned, disinfected and/or sanitized before any glass washing of any type takes place; 2) A light scrub pad and dishwashing-type detergent must be used. 3) The same processes must be applied to coffee mugs and coffee carafes provided in the guestrooms.
To avoid such processes, hotels may provide disposable or one-use wrapped plastic or paper drinking cups.
• Treat cleaning as a profession, a science and an art.
• Elevate cleaning to a science.
• Demand the highest professional behavior and performance.
• Teach and apply science as well as technique, because technique should be based on scientific principles.
• View cleaning as environmental management.
• Teach only those procedures that meet environmental health and safety guidelines for cleaning.
• Clean for health first and appearance second.
• Minimize human exposure to contaminants and cleaning products.
• Recognize cleaning as an environmental health benefit.
• Commit to occupational development of cleaning personnel.
• Communicate the value of healthy buildings.
• Minimize chemical, particle and moisture residue when cleaning.
• Ensure worker and occupant safety.
• Contain and reduce all pollutants entering the building.
• Dispose of cleaning products in environmentally safe ways.
• Establish and document routine maintenance schedules.
Following and implementing all of the above will assist in enhancing your hotel's housekeeping operations and thus reduce concerns of negative guest or media coverage in cleaning overall.


A mortgage security valuation is part of the loan approval process, whereby an independent valuer is chosen from a panel, and assesses a property to provide the lender with sufficient security in the property. This is done at a loan to value ratio and if the loan goes into arrears, the property is then repossessed by the bank or other financial institution. The financial institution owns the rights to the valuation and information is generally not disclosed, despite the borrower being the one who pays for it.

Spanish Wonder!
City can win the league
Published by content - December 20, 2016 -
Former Everton and Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta is currently working as a coach for Manchester City.
The player announced his retirement at the end of the last season and joined Pep Guardiola coaching staff at the Manchester club.
The former Everton midfielder said that the club had improved massively under Guardiola and he feels that there is still much more to come. He said that despite the fact that the club has lost some games during the past few weeks, he feel that the club can still challenge for the title.
Mikel Arteta said that the Premier League is a tough competition and that you can lose at any moment. He believes that all the team around them in the table will lose points sooner or later and it is up to them to remain consistent.
He said that Pep Guardiola is still looking for his best team and that he should be given time to sort things out at Manchester City. Arteta said that Guardiola has a clear philosophy on how football should be played and that it would take time before the Manchester City players understand that.
Mikel Arteta said that there is the possibility that the club signs new players during the January transfer window but it will all depend on what type of players are available on the market. He said that the big clubs would not want to separate with their best players in the middle of a season and it might be difficult to get top players.
He said that at the moment Manchester City will focus on the players that are at the club and will want to take maximum points during this busy period of the Premier League. He believes that they are in a good position and that they should be able to challenge for the title

When you live in Jakarta, Bali or Dili, you know how chaotic traffic can be. And while this is the rule during the entire year, it seems to get worse during summer, especially in Bali. After all, with so many people being attracted by the beautiful landscapes and beaches in Bali, traffic can easily be worse. And if your commute usually takes one hour, it can easily take you another one to get to the same place. So, the new Speedway Mini IV is here to help you change your life for the better and, at the same time, become greener and doing the best for our planet.
In case you live in Indonesia, you'll be glad to know that you now have the option to buy this beautiful and practical e-scooter.
One of the best things about the Speedway Mini IV is that it is extremely versatile. After all, you can ride it to go to work, when you want to take a walk near the beach, or to simply do some errands. All these trips could easily take you hours if you were about to drive your own car. However, with the Speedway Mini IV, you can make all your errands quickly and efficiently, and you will still have plenty of time to spend with your family and friends.
The reality is that driving an e-scooter is something really unique. In case you never tried it before, we urge you that you test one because you're going to love it. So, besides making your errands and going to work, you can also use the Speedway Mini IV for your personal enjoyment.
In case you were already wondering about buying a new electric scooter and you didn't know which model to choose, you should definitely consider the Speedway Mini IV. After all, since this new model is about to be released in Indonesia, you can take the opportunity and grab a special discount if you pre-order the Speedway Mini IV up until 15th of July of 2018.
In case you are interested in this unique opportunity, you'll also be glad to know that you can choose between two different models. The first Speedway Mini IV model – the Basic, has a 40Km/h max speed and it allows you to drive for 30 km per battery charge. In case you're looking for a more autonomous model, you should try the Pro version of the Speedway Mini IV. The Pro allows you to drive up to 45 Km/h and it allows you to drive for at least 40 km of distance.

Like many major revolutions in history, the East European Revolution of 1989 caught its leaders, participants, victims, and observers by surprise. This paper offers an explanation whose crucial feature is a distinction between private and public preferences. By suppressing their antipathies to the political status quo, the East Europeans misled everyone, including themselves, as to the possibility of a successful uprising. In effect, they conferred on their privately despised governments an aura of invincibility. Under the circumstances, public opposition was poised to grow explosively if ever enough people lost their fear of exposing their private preferences. The currently popular theories of revolution do not make clear why uprisings easily explained in retrospect may not have been anticipated. The theory developed here fills this void. Among its predictions is that political revolutions will inevitably continue to catch the world by surprise.

2 For an early statement of this thesis, see Arendt, Hannah, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 2d ed. (1951; reprint, New York:World Publishing, 1958), pt. 3. Arendt suggested that communism weakens interpersonal bonds rooted in family, community, religion, and profession, a situation that makes individuals terribly dependent on the goodwill of the state and thus blocks the mobilization of an anticommunist revolt.
