Long-term wrap-up: Jaguar XK is an interesting contrast to our Mopar muscle
by Mashfique Hussain Chowdhury. January 6, 2020.
European Car News
Long-Term Car Updates
Our Jaguar XK never had a fair shot in this market. While the car is perceived to be a modern classic in the United States and Europe, it had a weird reputation here — a mix between expensively unreliable, driven only by old British men, and expensive enough to get a ton of road respect.
2020 Jaguar F-Type debuts with debatable facelift and new tech
by Fazeen Abdeen. December 10, 2019.
The Jaguar F-Type has been fairly popular for its handsome design and borderline-illegal exhaust note. But the Indian-owned British sports car has been growing a little old in the tooth, not even counting the fact that it's actually based on a shortened XK platform that dates back to 2006. Which is why Jaguar decided to update the 2020 Jaguar F-Type Coupe and Convertible. While the classic platform remains the same, the new models get a better design, more tech and powerful engines but they ditch the manual transmission option.
Long-term update: Our Jaguar XK finally gets its eyes fixed
by Mashfique Hussain Chowdhury. November 22, 2019.
The last generation of the Jaguar had a massive factory problem. One of several electronic control modules on the HID headlights used to keep shorting out in some way or the other every time there was some sort of power surge, such as when your battery dies or sometimes even randomly, maybe once every two years. This used to cause the auto-levelling function to go stupid, making the headlights point permanently downwards even though they are perfectly working fine otherwise (while flashing a warning light in your gauge cluster permanently as well). Oddly enough, the warning light was for the turning-headlights feature,
First drive: 2020 Jaguar I-Pace EV400 in England
by Gautam Sharma. October 14, 2019.
Tesla has played a lone hand in the premium performance EV segment for the past several years, but the genre is now starting to gain critical mass, with virtually every mainstream prestige manufacturer pouring massive investments into developing and marketing battery-powered offerings.
Long-term update: Jaguar XK's smart repair showing its age
by Mashfique Hussain Chowdhury. May 19, 2018.
Hard to believe, but our 2008 Jaguar XK is a decade old now. I'd say we've kept it cleaner than most, even though we simply park it outside all the time and service it once a year. Real premium cars (not the rebadged stuff from mainstream carmakers) are generally built with better materials, so they last longer in terms of trim and leather (but not always mechanically). However, our Jag needed a bit of care to keep it looking fresh.
Long-term update: Is it cheaper to buy parts online or at the dealer? A Jaguar XK update
If you roam around enthusiast circles, you will consistently hear just one thing — "It's much cheaper to buy car parts online than at the dealer!" And for the most part, it's true. But is it universally true though? We find out with our aging Jaguar XK, which had a minor issue recently.
2018 Jaguar F-Type 4-cylinder officially released
by Fazeen Abdeen. August 13, 2017.
Right after revealing cars like the XE SV Project 8 and XJR575, Jaguar has taken a step in the opposite direction of the performance scale by downsizing the engine of the F-Type sports car. This new cat on the block will now come with a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine capable of 296 hp, putting the F-Type in the odd position of competing with both the Porsche 911 and the Porsche 718.
2018 Jaguar XJR575 Super Sedan revealed
by Fazeen Abdeen. July 29, 2017.
Jaguar is on a run, churning out car after car. The XE SV Project 8 that was released a few days ago was the British manufacturer's answer to the compact sedans from the Mercedes AMG and BMW M division. And now they have turned their attention towards their full-size sedan, the XJ. Jaguar has given the XJ a bunch of performance updates to create the 2018 Jaguar XJR575 Super Sedan.
2018 Jaguar E-Pace sub-compact crossover debuts
Jaguar has launched a new sub-compact crossover to accompany the F-Pace in its lineup. The new model called the E-Pace will lock horns with the trio from Germany, Mercedes GLA, Audi Q3 and the BMW X1. Loosely based on the Range Rover Evoque as both are front-wheel-drive-based platforms, the E-Pace is expected to hone Jaguar's appeal to the crossover buyers.
Jaguar XE SV Project 8 debuts at Goodwood Festival of Speed
by Fazeen Abdeen. July 5, 2017.
Pick the lightest car in the arsenal and plonk in the most powerful engine from the shelf. This elemental process is exactly what Jaguar Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations department (SVO) did to produce the XE SV Project 8 that they revealed at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Libraries Powering Sustainable Knowledge in the Digital Age
Posted on 21 August, 2017 21 August, 2017 by Stockholm University Press Blog
Blogpost by Sofie Wennström and Jonas Holm, Stockholm University Library
The 46th Annual LIBER Conference in Patras, Greece. July 5–7, 2017

The LIBER conference is an annual event where Library Managers and Librarians meet to discuss new discoveries and share experiences. The conference included a number of workshops on important topics in the research library environment right now, such as developments to support Open Access and Open Data, Scholarly Communications and Infrastructure, Digital Humanities, Metrics, Text and Data Mining and Cultural Heritage. All of these topics are relevant to Stockholm University Library and Stockholm University Press. A video summarising the conference can be found here. The twitter feed is available with #liber2017.
Workshops about open access and open research data
Two of the workshops this year was organised by working groups within LIBER where Stockholm University Library is represented.
During the first day of the conference, the LIBER Working Group on Open Access and SPARC Europe organised a workshop together with the title 'Bridging the gap between policy and practice: How do we make open the default?'. Sofie Wennström, Analyst, is an active member of this group. There were four themes discussed in the workshop: researcher engagement, simplifying publishing processes of Open Access and Open Data, rewarding researchers for being open and, institutions taking the lead in the dissemination of research information. Most of the member countries and institutions have policies in place recommending or mandating researchers to share their findings in an open manner the group showed a great deal of diversity in their approaches. One of the results of the workshop was to collect current approaches and new ideas to continue sharing best practices within the network.

The LIBER Working group on Copyright hosted a Workshop on the same day entitled 'Research Data Support Meets Disciplines: Opportunities & Challenges'. The aim of this workshop was to bring together key players discussing challenges for libraries and other organizations in their work with open research data. Jonas Holm, Legal Counsel, delivered a lecture on data protection and research data during this workshop, with a focus on the new EU General Data Protection regulation and its effect on research libraries.
More Stockholm University Activities
Birgitta Hellmark-Lindgren, Deputy Director, and Wilhelm Widmark, Library Director presented their work with organisational change at Stockholm University Library with the title 'The Perks and Challenges of Drawing Maps and Walking at the Same Time – Lessons Learned by Stockholm University Library'. The conclusion was that the change is inevitable and that learning how to tackle the challenges is key. The response from the audience about their open approach to organisational change was positive and included some questions on how the staff reacted to planning strategies and working with them at the same time.

Sabina Anderberg, Project Manager for Research Data Management (RDM) at Stockholm University Library, participated in the LIBER Emerging Leaders Seminars to prepare the new national and local initiatives related to RDM. The seminar was organized during the three days preceding the conference. The program is described by the participants in a lovely Storify feed. Pep Torn summarises his thoughts about leadership in this video, which is a short summary of one of the lectures: https://twitter.com/LIBEReurope/status/882973995691159552
Research Data Management is a focus area for libraries
Many university libraries are currently implementing policies and practices for managing of open research data. One example of this is the Research Data Management Services at Lancaster University which was presented by Hardy Schwamm. His talk focused on engagement with researchers to ensure that libraries are developing services based on the users' needs. The results seem to indicate that it is important to open up for conversations and to provide space and time for training in data management in order to create the cultural shift needed.
Lluís Anglada from the Catalonian Library Consortium presented similar ideas about collaborating to create best practices, but in their case in an entire geographical region. They created some common guidelines and an analysis of the current landscape in a report. The conclusion is that there is a big gap between disciplines and between courses of action in each field, but that the big change is not about the tools but about the process in which researchers and libraries need to work closely together to make this new paradigm working smoothly. Ten other talks were in part or as a whole dedicated to discussions about best practices and innovations for the management of research data so this was a popular topic at the conference.
Copyright issues and the future of openness
The keynote by EU Parliament member Julia Reda about new EU Copyright reform showed that the legislative change might actually hinder the development of an Open Science agenda and the developments made to open up for knowledge discovery, by for example text-and-data-mining (TDM). The new reform is adding more restrictions to information in place, which would favour the commercial sector more than the library sector, for example by adding more copyright protection regarding dissemination of information. This would lead to restrictions on sharing information from older archives, photos, Wikipedia entries, and content in repositories. Julia also provided the most popular quote of the conference 'If libraries were invented today they would be seen as radical institutions – giving away free access to information'. This new reform also suggests restricting harvesting of information online for preservation and dissemination, which is one of the key tasks of libraries today. There is a petition collected called The Hague Declaration, organised by LIBER, where institutions and individuals can sign to support the open dissemination of knowledge in the future. This keynote is worth watching in video format for those of you who were not present.
Library leadership for the future
As libraries are evolving to something beyond the print media and collection management, there seems to be a need for the development of new librarian skills and new ways of leading teams in this change. Several of the sessions included talks about how to drive change in organisations, such as the talk by Birgitta and Wilhelm mentioned above. Other libraries shared their experiences in change as well, such as Matthijs van Otegem who presented the work at Erasmus University Library. They have created an organisation of trust, where the librarian teams are becoming more self-governing with internal motivation as the main driver.
More keynotes and presentations
Other keynotes were held by Kathleen Shearer from COAR, who talked about "Scholarly Communications for the 21st century: Towards a Sustainable and Inclusive Future", noting that repositories need to focus on interoperability if they don't want to be forgotten or left behind in the fast-developing world of digital scholarly communication. Dr Filioppos Tsimpoglou, Director-General of the National Library of Greece talked about change as well in his keynote "For Every Library Transforms: A National Library in the Research Landscape", describing the long-term project about planning, building and organising a new national library with restricted resources. More information can be found at the conference website. The full programme is also available, including links to presentations made.

Clear aligners are the closest thing to an 'invisible' way of straightening your teeth. Very different from braces, this type of orthodontic treatment does not use metal brackets or wires but instead works to straighten your teeth through a series of clear and removable plastic aligners.
Clear orthodontic aligner therapy is commonly known by the brand names of the companies who produce the aligners, such as Invisalign®. This orthodontic treatment is suitable for those with crooked, crowded teeth or teeth with obvious gaps between them. Clear aligners are also suitable for those who have had braces in the past, yet their teeth are moving back to being crooked once more.
Once you have raised concerns with your National Dental Care dentist about the alignment of your teeth, they will then discuss the benefits of Invisalign® with you.
The first use of clear aligners began in 1945, but it took until 1999 before the technology had evolved enough for something as sophisticated as Invisalign to be introduced.
Meanwhile metal braces were not cosmetically appealing, subtle or comfortable. They required a change of diet, constant and diligent tooth-cleaning, and the painful treatment could take several years to work.
Fortunately Invisalign aligners now offer major improvements over braces as they are removable for eating and cleaning. They are almost invisible in use and far more comfortable with no metal brackets to irritate the inside of your mouth.
Invisalign® can treat a variety of different cases, check out to see if your bite fits in with one of the possible scenarios below or get in touch directly with one of National Dental Care's Dentist for an assessment.
What's involved in an Invisalign® treatment?
If you decide to take this course of treatment, bite impressions or scans will be taken and sent to the manufacturer of the aligners. A series of aligners will be created using 3D computer-generated imaging (CGI) technology. A virtual treatment plan will also be created, so that you can see a projection of how your teeth will look at the end of treatment.
A set of aligners will be sent to your National Dental Care dentist, who will then make sure they fit you and are comfortable. Each set is made of a clear and sturdy medical plastic, and should be worn night and day for two weeks each. You take out your aligner during meals, to drink, and to brush your teeth. The entire Invisalign® treatment can take between six and 18 months, depending on the severity of your problem.
There are many benefits of clear orthodontic aligners. The aligners are comfortable, not causing irritations that can occur with braces. They do not prevent you from eating certain foods, and as they are clear and thin, it is unlikely anyone will even notice you wearing them. Invisalign® treatment will leave you with straighter teeth, without anyone noticing it happening!
The great news is that you can now get straighter teeth without the look of metal braces. For decades, traditional braces have been the only option for adults who wanted straighter teeth. Now there's Invisalign™. This amazing straightening product is custom-made to suit you perfectly. And because Invisalign™ is nearly invisible, your teeth can be straightened without anyone even knowing.
Invisalign® uses 3D computer-imaging technology to show you the complete treatment plan, from the initial position to the final desired position before treatment even starts.
As soon as you are happy with the computer simulation, a series of custom-moulded 'aligners' are produced. The clear, removable aligners gradually straighten teeth, positioning them into a wonderful new smile.
As well as being almost invisible, they're removable. So you can eat and drink whatever you like during your treatment. You'll also be able to brush and floss as normal.
Invisalign®, like everything, is not always right for everyone. The aligners work extremely well for a vast majority of patients, both adolescents and adults. Invisalign® suits people whose teeth are crowded or have spaces between them, and those whose teeth may have shifted after having worn braces in their youth.
Is Invisalign® as painful as traditional braces?
Much less! Most people experience minor temporary discomfort for a few days at the beginning of each new stage of treatment. This is normal and is usually described as a feeling of pressure. That's a sign that Invisalign® is working, sequentially moving your teeth to their final destination. This discomfort typically goes away a couple of days after you insert the new aligner.
Why do people prefer Invisalign®?
The convenience and ease of Invisalign® has made it the choice of over half a million people. You can live your normal lifestyle and still end up with an incredible smile, thanks to the comfort, convenience and virtual invisibility Invisalign® provides during treatment.
Be as active as you like! And of course you can remove your aligners for special occasions.
It's different for everyone. Invisalign® treatment can range from 9 to 18 months, depending on what's needed to get your smile straight and beautiful. Your dentist or orthodontist will determine the time frame and let you know before starting treatment.

In memory of her Dad, Dean Pitts, Kathlene Snow will be roasting chestnuts at this year's Country Christmas Faire. For the past 10 years, Dean (picture here with Sharon, his wife of 64 years) roasted chestnuts at the bonfire at the Country Christmas Faire. When he passed away earlier this year, Kathlene decided to step in to continue the tradition. According to Kathlene, "the Country Christmas Faire was his event. He loved the people and the chance to volunteer. He became close friends with the firefighters who watched over the fire pit, and he loved visiting with the public. He never knew a stranger. His shoes will be hard to fill, but I am thankful for the opportunity. It will be healing for us all." When visiting the Country Christmas Faire, be sure to stop by the community bonfire, try a roasted chestnut, and say hi to Kathlene (who will be wearing her Dad's hat).

A 36-29, six-tries-to-five loss to the old enemy in Timaru, so the Hanan Shield stays in South Canterbury's hands.
Following something of a pattern this season, North Otago fell into an early hole by conceding three quick tries, before Dan Lewis snaffled a boot ahead to score the Old Golds' first try, and Sala Halaleva grabbed the second.
South Canterbury scored again before the break, and then held 29-15 and 36-22 leads to all but take control of the game.
North Otago took some solace from a late fightback, completely dominating the final quarter and getting agonisingly close to at least a draw.
Young fullback Josh Buchan made a huge break in the dying minutes and believed he had scored, but the assistant referee felt otherwise.
The loss leaves North Otago eighth in the Heartland Championship but just three points off third.
Veteran midfielder Lemi Masoe celebrated his 99th first-class game with a big performance and a pair of tries, and forwards Ralph Darling and Josh Clark produced their usual mighty efforts.
And how about Mika Mafi. The blockbusting No 8 unexpectedly played 78 minutes for Otago on Thursday night, and backed up with another wholehearted performance for the Old Golds.
Some are not comfortable with a system that allows a player to represent two different provinces in the space of 48 hours, but you can only admire Mafi's commitment and energy.
Another interesting weekend that leaves the race for the playoffs wide open.
Most intriguingly, Wanganui suffered a second straight loss. Jared Percival kicked a last-second penalty to lead Mid Canterbury to a 40-39 win in an Ashburton thriller.
There was another upset in Gisborne, where resurgent Poverty Bay beat West Coast 36-19.
Horowhenua-Kapiti maintained second spot with a 52-3 shellacking of hapless East Coast in Otaki, Buller clung on for a 29-24 win over Wairarapa-Bush in Westport, and dark horse Thames Valley beat King Country 45-36 in Te Kuiti.
Development: Beat South Canterbury 43-31 in Timaru. Another fine performance from the D squad, which can claim the Hanan Cup with victory in the rematch this Saturday. Openside flanker Morgan Dawes had a storming game, prop Kelepi Funaki played well on his return for the national under-19 tournament, and Brady Kingan looked sharp at halfback.
Under-18: Lost to Otago 75-0 in Oamaru. Tough day out against a big side. Peter Armstrong and Ben McCarthy played well. Now off to tournament in Christchurch.
Under-16: Lost to Otago 39-17 in Oamaru. Looked good in the first half before dropping away. Logan Wilson scored a cracking try, and Bryden Skinner and Tupou Fifita continued their fine form. Tournament starts in Oamaru on Thursday.
Under-14: Lost to South Canterbury 68-20 in Timaru. Isaac Clunie and Henry Kay looked good in the backs, and forwards Sebastian Whiston and Johanne Edzes played well against a good opposition. Off to Ashburton to play Mid Canterbury and Ellesmere in tournament this weekend.
North Otago will start as the favourite at home against Poverty Bay, but must be wary of a visiting side that has improved recently. A feature of the Old Golds' season has been their ability to bank bonus points – they have six, the most in the the competition – and a healthy five-pointer tomorrow will be just the ticket.
It's a big day for respected midfielder Lemi Masoe, who plays his 100th first-class game. The tally includes games for North Otago and the Heartland XV.


The aim of the present study was to discover what influence structured reporting (study group = A) of toothcoloured lab-fabricated restorations has on clinical decision-making following international guidelines. By way of comparison, the conventional approach in the form of short reporting with 5 items (control group = B) was used as gold standard. The study was carried out in the first clinical semester of dentistry (n = 68) at the Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main. In the study group, indirect ceramic restorations were assessed on a scale of 1 (very good) to 5 (insufficient) using structured reporting (7 items, each with 5 subgroups) in accordance to World Dental Federation (FDI) - standards. Following this, the clinical decision on the insertion of the restoration was made. To evaluate the quality of the structured reporting, sensitivity, specificity, confidence intervals (Cl) and the respective predictive values (positive = PPV, negative= NPV) were determined. Based on FDI reporting, a ceramic inlay is also favored with a great degree of certainty in clinical decisions: this was the true in 34 procedures out of a total of 38 clinically incorporated ceramic inlays [sensitivity 67% (95% CI: 46%83%); specificity 89% (95% Cl: 75%-97%); PPV 82%, NPV 79%]. In the control group, sensitivity was 56% (95% CI: 35%-75%); specificity 92% (95% CI: 79%-98%); PPV 83%, NPV 74%. No significant differences could be determined between A and B (p = 0.813). Due to the higher sensitivity and efficiency given comparable specificity, structured reporting of tooth-coloured lab-fabricated restorations based on FDI criteria, appears more recommendable than short reporting. It is also suitable for promoting decision-making in quality assessment, thus improving the durability of dental restorations.
After removal of a dental implant or extraction of a tooth in the upper jaw, the closure of an oroantral fistula (OAF) or oroantral communication (OAC) can be a difficult problem confronting the dentist and surgeon working in the oral and maxillofacial region. Oroantral communication (OAC) acts as a pathological pathway for bacteria and can cause infection of the antrum, which further obstructs the healing process as it is an unnatural communication between the oral cavity and the maxillary sinus. There are different ways to perform the surgical closure of the OAC. The decision-making in closure of oroantral communication and fistula is influenced by many factors. Consequently, it requires a combination of knowledge, experience, and information gathering. Previous narrative research has focused on assessments and comparisons of various surgical techniques for the closure of OAC/OAF. Thus, the decision-making process has not yet been described comprehensively. The present study aims to illustrate all the factors that have to be considered in the management of OACs and OAFs that determine optimal treatment.
An oroantral fistula (OAF) is a pathological abnormal communication between the oral cavity and the maxillary sinus which may arise as a result of failure of primary healing of an OAF, dental infections, osteomyelitis, radiation therapy, trauma, or iatrogenic complications. With the presence of a fistula, the maxillary sinus is permanently open. Microbial flora passes from the oral cavity into the maxillary sinus, and the inflammation of the sinus occurs with all potential consequences. In literature, various techniques have been proposed for closure of OAFs. Due to the heterogeneity of the data and techniques found, we opted for a narrative review to highlight the variety of techniques discussed in the literature. Techniques of particular interest include the bone sandwich with resorbable guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membrane and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) used alone as both a clot and a membrane. The great advantage of these techniques is that no donor site surgery is necessary, making the outcome valuable in terms of time savings, cost and, more importantly, less discomfort to the patient. Additionally, both bony and soft tissue closure is performed for OAF, in contrast to flaps, which are typically used for procedures in the sinus area. The reconstructed bony tissue regenerated from these techniques will also be appropriate for endosseous dental implantation.

"It's an exciting time," NIU head coach Dave Grant said. "Once you get there, all things are possible. The guys that are ready to wrestle when they get to this tournament are the ones that end up being on the stand. You've got to be ready to wrestle."
Deutsch, a senior from Columbia City, Ind., will face Corey Mock of North Carolina at 157 pounds in his first bout of the day. A three-time national qualifier, the NIU senior has amassed a 21-10 record with five pins and five major decisions. Deutsch is 1-4 overall at the National Championship meet as he defeated Andrew Jones of Michigan State in 2009.
Brad Dieckhaus
This will be Dieckhaus' first appearance at the NCAA Championships. The junior from St. Charles, Mo. earned the automatic bid after winning the Mid-American Conference title at 184. Dieckhaus has posted a 15-8 record with two pins on the season. He will begin his quest for a title Thursday versus No. 3 seed Steve Bosak of Cornell.
This is the first time since 2009, the year that Deutsch and Tristen DeShazer (Wichita, Kan./West) advanced to the NCAA Championships, that NIU is sending multiple wrestlers to the national tournament.
Grant feels it will benefit both of his wrestlers.
"I think it's going to help Brad a lot," Grant said. "He's going with a very experienced guy. Bryan can 'big brother' him. You know that the older guy is going to mentor the younger one.
"Bryan went by himself last year, which is kind of a lonely road. It's nice to have a teammate there. You're both in the same situation."

There is also a series of 6×9 cm folding roll-film cameras called Norca, made by Braun.
The Norca is a series of cameras made by the French society FAP between 1938 and the beginning of the 1950s. They were inspired by the Argus A.
The Norca A was offered in 1939 by Manufrance, a French distributor, with a Berthiot Flor 50/3.5 and a T-B-25-175 shutter.
Vial also mentions Compur shutter, one is pictured here.
The Norca B was offered in 1948 by Manufrance, a French distributor, with a 50/3.5 lens and a T-B-25-300 shutter.
The Norca III A was announced with a focal plane shutter and interchangeable lenses (see an ad here). According to Vial, it was presented at the 1948 salon in Paris, but it never came into production.
The Norca Pin-Up was a very different camera, treated in its own page.

Princess Ann Claire Review
Guest Author - Danielle Crowe
Ann Claire is a country music singer who brings a regal and rocking spirit to her songs and music. As an offspring of real-life royalty, this genuine princess had goals to grow up to be a country singer and songwriter, and now this "Honkytonk Princess" is finally living her dream.
Originally born in the Middle East, this princess grew up in both London and Los Angeles, and was schooled in England, Switzerland and Spain before attending the University of Southern California to major in film and television arts. She then went on to theatre and voice studies at San Francisco's American Conservatory Theatre. Ann Claire's passion and determination for writing and singing songs propelled her to make her mark in the music industry instead of living a royal life of privilege and status.
Princess Ann Claire's debut CD "Honkytonk Princess" was released on February 21, 2012 and was co-produced by Grammy nominated songwriter Travis Howard and Maxwell Abrams. Ann Claire co-wrote eight of the albums 12 songs with lyrics that are about living a full, heartfelt life – with plenty of good times! Her CD debuted with a fresh blast of contemporary country and a rocking pop kick that's rich with emotional and musical depth.
Songs like "Lucky Me," "Go with me," and "Let's go to Mexico!" are spunky, charming, fiery and overall fun, where as "If I Leave Here Tonight," "The Way That I Do," "Good Enough," and "Getting Good at This" are songs that deal with heartache, love, family affairs and overall matters of the heart. The CD "Honkytonk Princess" has a song for every music lover and country fan, no matter what theme or sound you're in the mood for.
Gaining her musical inspiration from country leading ladies such as Dolly Parton and Shania Twain, Ann Claire's goal for her future is to inspire a powerful sense of self and character in others. Her hit song "Honkytonk Princess" is dedicated to all the woman in the world as Ann believes that every woman is a princess, and every little girl and woman has a princess spirit. Ann Claire explains that a princess spirit is a spirit of dignity, integrity, self-respect, compassion, patience and going above and beyond what's expected of you.
During her spare time, she devotes her energy to causes that are dear to her heart, such as fostering rescue dogs and helping the Humane Society, the ASPCA and the organization Share Our Strength which works to end childhood hunger in America.
"This has never been for me about being famous or rich," Ann Claire explains. "Those things are not of interest to me at all. All I've ever wanted to do is write great songs and make a difference in the world, and sing and present them in a way where they will affect people. I feel like this is my destiny, and I'm pretty excited about my future," she concludes. "It has been such a long journey, but what I do now as a country songwriter and artist is so important to me and so rewarding. I can't live without it. It gives me life, it makes me whole."

Metal veterans Striker return home on winning streak
Striker at the Starlite Room on Saturday
The members of Striker have an important message for you on their forthcoming album.
It's right there in the title, Play to Win, a manifesto of sorts for the Edmonton-based metal warriors, who are doing exactly that as they head into the second decade of an already impressive career.
"You know, there are musicians that just want to play a few shows a year, or practice and drink in the basement with their friends, and that's all fine," says guitarist Tim Brown over the phone from a gas station in Ohio, fuelling up for their tour with Unleash the Archers, which hits Edmonton on Saturday night. "Our thing is that we want to get ahead at the game of show business. If you want to win, you have to play to win, and that's exactly what we're doing."
Brown and his bandmates (vocalist Dan Cleary; drummer Adam Brown; bassist William Wallace; guitarist Chris Segger) are doing the necessary hard work to make this happen. A few years back they opted to go independent, starting their own label, Record Breaking Records, and taking care of much of the band business themselves. The five-piece have done just fine since, thank you very much, keeping up a heavy touring schedule in North America and Europe, grabbing a Juno nomination as well as wins in 2017 at the Edmonton Music Awards and Western Canadian Music Awards for Best Metal Album.
Speaking of winning, their current tour has seen them play to nine sold out shows in a row, and that's before they hit their home town. We spoke with Brown about the new album, the return of their former guitarist, and changing up their musical formula:
Q: Calling your album Play to Win sounds like a very brash move, but Striker has actually been following that mantra for some time now; can we assume that going independent fit in with it?
A: We definitely wanted to break the cycle. At the time we decided to go independent, everyone we talked to said "no, you need to be on a label. Don't go out on your own, that's idiotic." Booking agents were like "sorry, can't work with you." So we thought, fine, screw you, and once we got rid of the bad partners we found that we were more successful by orders of magnitude. So yeah, you could say that.
Q: Play to Win sees the return of Chris Segger, who left the band four years ago and returned in June of last year.
A: He got back in time to tour North America with (Sweden's) Dark Tranquility and shred on the new album. It's been great.
Q:It's a rare thing when former band members keep on good terms.
A: We've stayed great friends with everyone who has been in the band, I think. There's never been that awkward phase that other bands have with their former members. It's a bit like dating or getting married, and some relationships just do not end amicably. There's a lot of emotions, especially when it comes down to art, and people's identities tend to become tied to the band they play in. I guess we've been lucky.
Q: You're now on your sixth album; for a lot of bands that can be a pivotal release, one where they decide if they're going to keep on doing what they do or if they're going to challenge themselves. Did you find yourself thinking that way with Play to Win?
A: At the very end, as we were listening to the final masters, we found that we had somehow subconsciously put synths and keyboards on every single song. It wasn't intentional, but we were looking for ways to make things sound different, and that's what kept popping up. We'd done that before, but never to this degree, so I guess we were trying to think of ways to change things up. Writing the same speed metal song over and over again is boring, so we were doing things like slowing down tempos.
Q: That's practically sacrilege; prepare for an angry fan backlash of glowering dudes!
A: (Laughs) At most shows you see those grim dudes in the back row, arms crossed and scowling when they hear something they dislike. That being said, they still come out to see you, which is amazing. But yeah, even after our first album we had people come up and say that they preferred our first EP, which had come out six months before. It's ridiculous, but it's part of being in a metal band, I guess.
With: Unleash the Archers, The Order of Chaos, and W.M.D
When: Saturday at 8 p.m.
Where: Starlite Room, 10030 102 St.
Tickets: $18, available at the door or in advance from Ticketfly

Rome: The third Italian Cuisine Week to promote high-quality Italian cuisine and authentic agri-food products internationally kicked off on Monday and will run through Sunday, the foreign ministry said in a statement.
The event is aimed at boosting "quality, sustainability, food safety, right to food, education, identity, territory and biodiversity… regional tourism, Italian food and wine tours and the Mediterranean diet…also in connection with 2018, the Year of Italian Food," the statement said.
Key to this year's event is the "Pasta Pesto Day" initiative launched after the tragic collapse in mid-August of Genoa's Morandi Bridge, to bring this most famous traditional recipe to restaurants worldwide, part of the proceeds of which will be devolved to the Municipality of Genoa.
Establishing a link with the Rossini centennial celebrations of the 150th anniversary of the death of the famous composer, who loved to cook and was a renowned gourmet, is another linchpin of this year's event, according to the statement.
This year's Italian Cuisine Week has a special focus on the hotel sector, in order to develop long-term cooperation between Italian and local chefs, the statement added.
A further goal is the promotion of certified, controlled and protected denominations of origin, together with teaching Italian methods of trademark protection based on ways of combating bogus 'Italian' products, the statement said.
Italian Cuisine Week was designed and coordinated by foreign ministry, in collaboration with Italy's agriculture, tourism, culture, education, university and research ministries, its regions, foreign trade agency ICE, Chambers of Commerce, trade associations, cookery schools, certified Italian restaurant chains and food, wine and design professionals, said the statement.


Bought a new Poulan w/B&S 148cc enginge. Ran 5 minutes, stopped dead on the lawn. Can't pull starter rope to restart.
Didn't hit anything. Disconnected housing and rope pulls freely with no frays. BRAND NEW. Spark plug new. New oil and new 89 octane gas. HELP!
I'm not much for poulan personally since I work in a honda dealership. But if your recoil works fine, then obviously not that. . If you tip the mower on it's side MAKE SURE that you tip it so the carb is IN THE AIR. not so it's on the lower side of the mower, or you will have oil running out and into your airfilter. tie the handle down, take off the sparkplug wire and turn the blade by hand. If you can't, try removing the sparkplug, oil may have gotten ontop of the piston and cause the unit to hydro-lock. once spark plug is out, try turning it by hand again oil may pour out of the spark plug hole, or if it's still siezed. take it back to the place you bought it and explain the situation. They may have someone to send it to that can take it apart and tell you what went wrong. The only other thing I can think of that may of happened was an actual engine siezure or maybe a head of a valve dropped off and did it's damage. If you try this stuff feel free to ask me any questions or tell me what you find.
Check the motor brake thing. It's the lever you have to hold so the motor runs. When you let go of it the motor stops. It may be broken disconnected or need adjustment. Remove the spark plug and make sure the plug wire is away from the spark plug hole. Turn mower on its side and try to turn the motor by turning the blade. It will not start with no plug and the plug wire is away from the spark plug hole. Put some tape on it and tape it down away from the hole. if it turns (it should be hard to turn if motor brake is on) if it doesn't turn no matter how hard you try the motor may be locked up. Good Luck.


This statistic shows the results of a survey conducted in Germany on the frequency of playing video and computer games from 2014 to 2017. In 2017, almost 7.8 million people played video and computer games several times a week.

Archived 2010-2011 topics: Greater Spotted Eagle (Aquila clanga): information requested.
Link to BirdLife species factsheet for Greater Spotted Eagle
Greater Spotted Eagle Aquila clanga is currently listed as Vulnerable under criterion C2a(ii) on the IUCN Red List because its global population is estimated to number just 5,000-13,200 mature individuals, extrapolated from an estimated 810-1,100 pairs breeding in Europe (BirdLife International 2004).
During the revision of the conservation status of Lesser Spotted Eagle A. pomarina at www.birdlifeforums.org in 2006 Martin Flade in litt. (2006) commented that Greater Spotted Eagle "is still quite common in the whole W-Siberian lowlands from Ural mountains to the middle Ob (and onwards to E-Siberia)". No comprehensive assessment of the species's population size globally or population trends in different parts of its range exists; however, given the species's massive global range it is highly plausible that its population exceeds 10,000 mature individuals (the threshold for listing as VU under criterion C) and may warrant downlisting. The species is long-lived with an estimated generation length of 16.6 years (BirdLife International, unpublished data); if its population has declined by >30% over the past three generations (50 years) it would qualify as Vulnerable under criterion A2.
Information about the species's population size and declines are requested to improve our assessment of its global status.

Comments received as part of 2010 update
Vivek Jain (October 2009):
In India various check lists of PAs report the presence of Aquila clanga. BNHS also report its presence in various states. In case of Madhya Pradesh, It was reported to exist in kanha, Panna, pench and chambal but the individual checklist dont report . A need for extensive survey is required. I feel we are just making estimates on the basis of old records..
Rimgaudas Treinys (January 2010):
In Lithuania during 2000-2007 was registred and described 362 adults Spotted Eagles (i.e., A.pomarina, A.clanga) during breeding season. 3.6% of these eagles according species specific plumage characters (for details see Forsman 1999) was identified as A.clanga. But due to intensive hybridization over western A.clanga range (Väli et al. in press), and thus very difficult identification in the field, this picture could even overestimate the real rarity of the species in this country. Moreover, only half of observed clanga was attributed to territorial birds.In the country are regular but few reccords per year of this species from birdwatchers. Observation of A.clanga places are usually from the eastern, southesastern and western country parts, they border with Belorus, Poland and Kaliningrad region where still present local breeding populations of A.clanga. Thus "direct" estimation of the A.clanga mature birds in the country using whole (territorial) Spotted Eagles population in the country (1931-2869 territorial pairs at 75% probability, Mischenko et al. in press) could be overestimation. Thus using suggestive estimation based on monitoring, research data,and birdwatchers info, few tens of A.clanga birds could hold Lithuania yearly. Sincerly R.Treinys
Igor Karyakin (January 2010):
Under the projects of the Center of Field Studies (N.Novgorod), Siberian Environmental Center (Novosibirsk), the Volga-Ural ECONET Assistance Center (Samara) and the Ecological Center "Dront" (N.Novgorod) information about status of the Greater Spotted Eagle has been collected in the territory between Volga and Yenisey rivers since 1990-s. Now more than 450 breeding territories of the Greater Spotted Eagle are known in the territory, 10-40 breeding territories at the largest breeding groups inhabiting the Belaya river valley ((Republic of Bashkortostan) and the Altai Pine Forests (Altai Kray) are monitored every year. I published a review on the Greater Spotted Eagle in the center of Russia in 2008 (http://docs.sibecocenter.ru/programs/raptors/RC11/raptors_conservation_2008_11_pages_23_69.pdf). Last results of the monitoring of the breeding group in the Altai Kray were published in 2009 (http://docs.sibecocenter.ru/programs/raptors/RC17/RC17_125_130_Karyakin_etal.pdf). The population of the Greater Spotted Eagle is estimated as 4000 – 4500 breeding pairs (in the European part of Russia – 500-800 pairs). The number is rather stable, in some regions growing. In Pre-Ural and Western Siberia pairs of the species were observed in places, where the Imperial Eagle has disappeared.
At the same time the large territory of Konda and Vasyugan swamps in Western Siberia, where we project the high breeding density of the Greater Spotted Eagle, has been not surveyed yet.
Elchin Sultanov (February 2010):
This is eastern origin species and biggest part of area located in Siberia and close territories. These territories impossible cover fully for research. So we can be sure that real number of birds is quite many. Some understanding we can receive from letters on the forum (Karyakin). We can downlist this species to Near Threatened as minimum.
Elchin Sultanov (AOS, Azerbaijan)
Ulo Väli (February 2010):
In Estonia, the numbers of the greater spotted eagle territories have been decreasing from 20-30 pairs in 2003 (Elts et al 2003, Hirundo) to 10-20 in 2008 (Elts et al 2009, Hirundo, detailed data will be also available in Väli et al. in press, Biol. J. of the Linn. Soc.). However, the reproductive population of the species in Estonia consists now only of few pairs as some two thirds of the territories are occupied by birds hybridising with the lesser spotted eagle. There has been no apparent recent change in habitats of breeding sites nor breeding success, and adult mortality and turnover are low. The most plausible explanation for the decline in Estonia, located on the north-western border of the range, is the range contraction indicating the decline of European population. The extensive hybridisation between the greater and the lesser spotted eagle in Europe (Väli et al. in press, Biol. J. of the Linn. Soc.) also indicates the poor condition of the European population.
Igor Karyakin and his colleagues have done great job in exploration of Asian populations of the species. However, some other Asian studies have indicated the decline of local populations. Continuous monitoring in study areas across the range and comprehensive literature review is needed before concluding the welfare of the global population. The ongoing compilation of the raptor volume in Birds of Russia series gives a good opportunity to receive soon an extensive current information of the species in its stronghold.
Currently I find the downlisting of the greater spotted eagle unacceptable.
Ülo Väli, Estonia
Boris Barov has provided the following rough translation from the new Ukraine Red List of Animals (February 2010):
Population numbers and reasons for trend
"In 1997 the breeding population in the country was estimated at 40-60 pairs. By 2004 it was estimated at 20-30 pairs. This estimate was based on the inquiry method with following surveying of the regions where presence of the species was indicated. The current (2009) estimate for this species is 10-20 pairs. … The main reasons for this negative trend are attributed to the reduction of suitable habitat – flooded forests, due to hydro technical measures, irrigation and water abstraction often followed by intensification of forest exploitation in these forests. Illegal shooting is also considered a threat".
The author of the account is: S.V. Domashevskiy
Igor Karyakin has provided the following clarifications to his contribution of 24 Jan (February 2010):
My estimation of the Greater Spotted Eagle number at 4000-4500 pairs refers to the whole of Russia. Some specialists consider it as too high, because I project the number of GSE inhabiting Konda and Vasyugan Region not less than in the south of Western Siberia (such assumption increases the whole number twice, up to 4000-4500 pairs); but some other people suppose that I underestimated the number, because we regularly find new perennial nests of eagles even in territories that we have been surveying for several years (which means that the probability of missing eagles' nests is significant).
Comprehensive estimations of number are done only for the Volga-Ural region and for the south of Western Siberia where 400-500 and 1000-1300 pairs accordingly are projected to breed – these are the largest known populations of the species in the country. GSE is very rare in Eastern Siberia. And its number in Far East is possibly little, because there are no publications about discoveries of nests of the species for last 10 years.
All current information about the GSE in the territory of the former USSR was collected and published in Proceedings of the Conference on birds of prey in 2008. http://docs.sibecocenter.ru/programs/raptors/Publ/Ivanovo_Spotted_Eagles_2008.pdf
Only titles of articles are translated in English.
According my surveys during last 10 years, GSE in Russia is rather successful and the decreasing of its number seems to be unlikely. The Imperial Eagle and especially the Steppe Eagle are in the more threatened situation. The Steppe Eagle has catastrophically decreased in number for last 10 years, more than in 10 times in some territories, and has become extinct in 3 regions.
Kerem Ali Boyla has provided the following information from Turkey (February 2010):
There has been more information about the species in Turkey in the last time. There are two reasons.
1. There are more bridwatcher away from big cities.
2. There is a worldbirds database (Kuþbank) running successfully in Turkey.
In the past the records of the species were restricted to few wetlands. today there are records from almost every middle or large wetlands.
I filtered the records from Kuþbank between 2006 and 2010 between December and February:
Meriç Deltasý Min 2(well observed)
Kavak Deltasý Min 1
Gediz Deltasý Min 2
Bodrum Tuzla Max 1(well observed)
Kýrklareli Ýðneada Min 1
Manyas Kuþ Max 1
Terkos Gölü (well observed) Min 3
Büyükçekmece Max 1 (well observed)
Kocaçay Deltasý Max 1
Dalyan Delta MÝn 1
Iþýklý Gölü Max 1
Nallýhan Max 1
Filyos Deltasý 1
Sinop Sarýkum Min 2
In summary, on every middle or large wetland in Western parts of the countrr there are 1-5 individuals wintering on each of the approx. 20 sites. This can sum up to min. 50-100 birds. There are very few wintering records from the Black Sea, Eastern Turkey, Southeastern Turkey (where wetlands are few) and Central Turkey. However the main population is concentrated in two sites.
Göksu Deltasý Min 20 Max 40
Seyhan and Ceyhan Del. Est min 10
This may sum op to 50-100 birds in S Turkey.
In total there may be a minimum of 100-200 wintering in Turkey.
I don't know why there were very few reports in the past. Then the areas were more extensive and access to many parts of a wetland was more difficult. THus decreasing encountering the species. This may relate to the increasing number of birds wintering in Turkey which I can support… However the increase in birders can surely also contribute to this increase. Still, I believe there there is an increasing number of birds in Turkey wintering in Turkey.
On the passage the birds are widely seen in different parts. The passage in Istanbul and Belen (Antakya) is pretty regular, however there are records from random areas near Ankara, Ýzmir, Malatya, Erzurum and Artvin.
Dr. Vladimir N. Melnikov (Ivanovo State University) has made the following contribution (March 2010):
Total number of Great Spotted Eagle in Europe part of Russia is estimated in 800 nesting pair. The kind is distributed on territory very non-uniformly. Small nested groupings are formed in wide water meadow the flat rivers, separate steams nest on continental low-lying wood bogs. This kind in region extremely stenotopic – occupies respectfully alder boggy woods, nests has on a black alder. In a wide zone of sympatry hybridizes with Lesser Spotted Eagle. On monitoring platforms (Juravlinaja rodina and Klyazminsky zakaznik) in 2009 number of a kind was considerably reduced in comparison with previous years. It is recommended in Red List IUCN to keep the status Vulnerable (VU).
Virag has made the following comment from India (March 2010):
As a part of our project on "Ecological study of Chhari Dhandh- A wetland in Greater Rann of Kachchh (Gujarat, India), we carry out frequent field visits to the area. During the last visit November-2009 we sighted about 12-13 Greater Spotted eagles roosting on dried mud flats around this wetland area. The species is regularly seen here in this part of Kachchh (Gujarat) (India) during winters.
Nicky Petkov says:
In Bulgaria the species is wintering and migrating species. In winter it is scarce rarity with permanent wintering of single individuals only around Shabla and Durankulak lakes IBAs. In recent years observations of soaring birds migration have increased dramatically in locations and intensity and even with this intensity only tens of birds in total are registered with no more than 2-3 birds seen at different observation points. This makes me think either the species predominantly migrates along the eastern part of the Black Sea and in Asia or the birds from European Russia go somewhere else. There is some overlap of the breeding range of the LSE and GSE but numbers differ to the sky! Thousands of LSE and some tens of GSE. It would be good to know some information from Georgia on migration numbers. However some data suggest the GSE to be much scarce in numbers than Steppe Eagle 74/75 GSEs observed at Batumi raptor observation against 169/162 Steppe Eagles for 2008 and 2009 autumn observations (http://www.batumiraptorcount.org/resultsprospects.htm).
For sure there some small numbers wintering in the Danube Delta in Romania (I've seen up to 8-10 birds there) some wintering individuals in the big river deltas in Greek part of Trace and in Kirkini lake, regular but not numerous.
Thus for me it is tricky to suggest down-listing of the GSE based on just estimates of possible population and presumptions. Assuming it breeds in huge numbers in Siberia and being hard to account for and find in these areas is not a sound basis for down-listing for me when there is evidence of shrinking distribution and numbers in the European range of the species.
Valery Dombrovski says:
In Belarus, in 2010 75 breeding sites outside large natural protected wetlands of GSE known from 2000 have been checked in frames of an APB conservation project. This corresponds to c. 40-50% of the breeding population. The results show a 33% decline over a decade.
The research focused in the first place on breeding sites requiring protection, as the target of the work was to ensure full protection of GSE in Belarus.
The total population estimate for Belarus needs correction. For which the situation with GSE at large natural wetlands need to be checked.
If the situation with GSE at large intact wetlands is stable, than the decline observed is due to anthropogenic activities. However, if the species declines also at large intact wetlands, then it will mean overall decline of GSE population due to other factors.
Nicola Baccetti says:
Small numbers overwintering on Italian wetlands do not suggest a decline in the last 20 years
Eagle Conservation Committee says:
Polish population of Greater Spotted Eagle counts about 15 pairs breeding in the Biebrza Wetlands' area. However, about one-third of the pairs in the Biebrza Wetlands are mixed: Greater Spotted Eagle with Lesser Spotted Eagle. Apart from the Biebrza Wetlands population, there was recorded only one more breeding attempt – a mixed pair (Greater Spotted Eagle and Lesser Spotted Eagle) in south-eastern Poland, near the east border. The number of pairs of Greater Spotted Eagle in Poland is quite stable, but the share of mixed pairs seems to be rising. Hybridization between the two species is perhaps increasingly important threat for the Greater Spotted Eagle's population in the westernmost part of its geographical range.
According to statements of researchers dealing with this species in Europe, most of the local populations in European range of Greater Spotted Eagle are decreasing. The estimations of numbers of birds in Asian part of the species' range should be treated with caution, having in mind methodological difficulties related to caring a census of this species and a vast area to be studied. Additionally, the Greater Spotted Eagle during its whole yearly life cycles is strongly related to wetlands, which are considered one of the most threatened habitats in the world (e.g. according to the Ramsar Database 84% of Ramsar listed wetlands had been effected by ecological change by 1999). Therefore, Eagle Conservation Committee and its partners (Society Polish Birds and the Biebrza National Park) executing together a LIFE Project targeted at Greater Spotted Eagle conservation, vote against down-listing GSE in IUCN criterion. Thus, we postulate to maintain current 'Vulnerable' conservation status of the Greater Spotted Eagle.
