"Schleinzer could hardly have chosen a more difficult subject, but he treats it with an unnerving simplicity, shorn of sensationalism or obvious moral cues." - Robbie Collin, The Daily Telegraph
"It is quite hard to describe as enjoyable, but it is an exceptionally interesting and well-made piece of work".-Conor O'Nolan, The University Observer
Markus Schleinzer's "Michael" is a triumph of uneasy cinema: Not since Todd Solondz's "Happiness" has a movie portrayed pedophilia in such uncomfortable detail. With an unorthodox level of restraint, the Austrian director tells the story of Michael (Michael Fuith), a seemingly meek insurance agent who has a secret: he's holding 10-year-old Wolfgang (David Rauchenberger) captive in a locked room in his basement.
Chronicling a five month period, director Markus Schleinzer reveals a tense portrait of how seemingly mundane lives can hide the darkest secrets. MICHAEL is a masterfully executed study of a monster with rich cinematic detail and unnerving insight. Despite its subversive edge, "Michael" successfully drains the shock out of a frightening premise and instead delivers a keen observational thriller

Down here for work, but there is just a little free time here and there. It is summertime here and the days are long (14 hrs of sunlight). Christoba, Angel, and I had time after work to head down to the river for an hour or so. I broke my rod on a BIG FISH. Snapped the rod in to two pieces just above the grip. It is now held together with tree limbs and medical tape. Christoba caught 3 small catfish-like critters.
They have wiskers as long as thier body. Bet Capt. MIke would like a 60 lb. blue cat with wiskers like that.
Don't know if I'll have any time the rest of the week , but we'll see.
All work and no play today. No chance to fish at all. Here is a drug lab that we burned today. Who likes fire?
We will see what tomorrow brings?
I know some of you like these posts, even though there are no fish in this one.......so here is another......I hear the DC area got up to 3" today. Different conditions here.....95 degrees and 200% humidity. Work is getting in the way because no fishin again today. But it was a good day for RECON on the Bolivian Special Forces choppers. I had the side jumpseat with my feet dangling out and best view. Here is a view forward in the bird.
Took two birds out for the look see.
We did a little river hugging......Nothing like buzzing down the river, below the tree tops at 100 MPH+.
We'll see what tomorrow brings? ??

Would You Take Your Shoes Off At Pol Pot's House?
I say The Cosmo is the perfect place to stay in Hong Kong but frankly my dears I've never actually stayed anywhere else. Once I found The Cosmo with its boutique concept, ice-cream sundae colour-pop rooms, super-efficient shuttle service about town, and 24 hour check-in policy I simply never bothered to look elsewhere.
If you want a cosy cafe-bar in a super-cool hotel whose complete hipsterness shouts 'we stock soya', this is your place. And if you want to take some nice photos over coffee like I did while I was there, it's even more perfect.
If you're looking for the perfect luxury beach resort on Cebu's Mactan Island, it has to be The Crimson Resort Cebu. With stunning Asian-inspired decor and manicured grounds it makes a great retreat after exploring The Philippines' bustling second city.
But Christopher Robin is nowhere to be seen. And instead of bearskins you can witness the guards or Sumungun (meaning gatekeepers) dressed in their own traditional brightly coloured costumes and armour as they perform a ceremonial re-enactment of the changing of the royal guard.
For a city of 22 million people, 10 million cars and seemingly a million coffee shops (plus a million and one Gangnam Style souvenirs) Seoul is pretty short on boutique hotels – but Seoul's original boutique hotel, the IP, is just what you need for a short stop in the city.

De Abdij van Pontigny is een voormalige cisterciënzer abdij gelegen in de gemeente Pontigny in het departement Yonne in Bourgondië, Frankrijk. De Latijnse naam van Pontigny is Pontiniacum.

Geschiedenis

De abdij werd in 1114 gesticht als tweede dochterklooster van de Abdij van Cîteaux. Ze werd al snel rijk. Er werden door de monniken van Pontigny enkele boerderijen gesticht die onder andere graan en wijn produceerden. Vanuit Pontigny zouden 43 dochterabdijen gesticht worden.

De abdij was een geliefd toevluchtsoord voor vervolgden. Zo verbleef Thomas Becket van 1164 tot 1166 in Pontigny. Hij was hierheen gevlucht vanwege zijn verzet tegen de Engelse koning Hendrik II; abt Guarinus van Gallardon stuurde hem weg in 1166. Stephen Langton verbleef in de abdij van 1208 tot 1213. Edmund Rich, aartsbisschop van Canterbury, verbleef in Pontigny in 1240. Zijn praalgraf bevindt zich in de kloosterkerk.

Tijdens de godsdienstoorlogen had de abdij veel te lijden. In 1560 werden de abdijgebouwen in brand gestoken door de hugenoten. De relieken van de heilige Edmund werden door de monniken in veiligheid gesteld.

In de Franse Revolutie werden bijna alle abdijgebouwen verwoest. De kerk, die gespaard werd vanwege de bedevaartscultus rondom St. Edmund, werd tot parochiekerk gemaakt.

In 1901 werden de gebouwen gekocht door de filosoof Paul Desjardins. Hij stichtte er een cultureel centrum. Elke zomer werd er een filosofische en literaire décade (tiendaagse) gehouden, waarbij belangrijke Europese intellectuelen samenkwamen. Onder andere André Gide, André Malraux, en Gaston Bachelard waren present. Desjardins is begraven op het kerkhof naast de abdijkerk.

Sinds de Tweede Wereldoorlog is er op het abdijterrein een opleidingscentrum voor gehandicapten gevestigd. In 1954 vestigde de Mission de France haar seminarie op het domein, nadat paus Pius XII de parochie van Pontigny als territoriale prelatuur had opgericht. Sindsdien fungeert de voormalige abdijkerk als kathedraal voor de Mission de France en ontleent de beweging er haar canoniek statuut aan.

Bij een hevige storm in de winter van 1999 werden delen van het dak van de kerk afgeblazen.

Architectuur en kunst
Van de oorspronkelijke kloostergebouwen is bijna niets meer over, behalve de kerk. Deze kruisvormige basiliek is gebouwd in een overgangsstijl tussen de romaanse stijl en de gotiek. Het schip uit de 12e eeuw heeft zeven traveeën is 119 meter lang. Daarmee is de kerk waarschijnlijk de grootste nog bestaande cisterciënzerkerk in Frankrijk.
Het gotische koor heeft 3 traveeën en een omgang met kapellenkrans.

In het midden van de kerk bevindt zich een barok koorgestoelte uit de 17e eeuw. Verder bevat de kerk een Mariabeeld uit de 16e eeuw en een orgel uit 1645.

De huidige tombe van de heilige Edmund is een negentiende-eeuws werk.

Certified biodynamic
Many people claim that biodynamic certification is unnecessary or even damaging to one's image, and that a quality-orientated operation has no need for it anyway.
At first sight, this might indeed seem logical, especially considering the current certification craze bringing one audit after another, taking the farmers out of the fields and into the office. These kinds of policies try to run a farm from an office desk with all the regulators and funding mechanisms. They plan crop rotation according to agricultural programs and not according to one's own sensitive awareness which also takes into account the weather and soil conditions.
However, a second look at the situation tells us that we need some sort of framework, some basic security, consumer protection and, above all, the trust of our clients. Demeter not only gives us that security, but also provides us with further advancements and the openness of a community with shared values that has been developing the ideas of biodynamic work for almost 100 years. It is the only worldwide organic association whose ideas are driven by farmers but also take into account consumers and processors. It is a holistic view which unites everyone and ensures clarity.
Therefore, we appeal to all consumers to think critically when they hear the aforementioned statements and to look for the plain facts behind pretty words. We label each of our products with the Demeter seal.

Woody Creek Confluence
Traute Parrie
Shared joy in the face of risk.
As I climb this ridge in an angry wind, with friends who are alternately grimacing and grinning, it occurs to me that these are the unkind conditions most of my steadfast friendships have been formed in.
For example, Lisa, with whom I forged a bond on a Colorado fire-line in the deadly summer of 1994, and consequently developed a shared, sharply defined knowledge of what's at risk in these pursuits, hikes up this windy ridge with me today. Naturally, it was Lisa who invited my husband Don and me on our first hut trip in the Elk Mountains of Colorado, and now it's my turn to host her. Along with Lisa and her husband John, one of our sons Chris, Don's ski-patrol boss Anne, her friend Ivan, Jess, and her friend Hans have all joined us on this windy Woody Ridge south of Cooke City in the winter of 2014.
The consistent winter storms have us checking the Avalanche Center advisories for weeks, and conditions aren't easing. The day before we ski to the cabin, there's an avalanche fatality on nearby Crown Butte. During our stay, there will be two more avalanches in the area, with injuries and another fatality. The carnage has us on edge and keeps us from even thinking about skiing the Fin, a menacing slice of ridge that towers over our imagination and our objective when we reserved the cabin a year ago.
At the start of today, we skin up and gain ground quickly, skiing quietly in anticipation of the climb ahead, wondering what conditions we'll encounter or how we'll do as a group. Icicles and Old Man's Beard hang from tree branches at a horizontal angle. Once in the backcountry, we test beacons, dig snow pits, and make adjustments and assessments—of conditions, and each other. We ski below Pilot and Index peaks, up onto Woody Ridge. The route provides views of Granite Peak, the peaks of Yellowstone Park, and nearby Crown Butte, revealing the tracks of ongoing avalanche activity.
No lingering here, though, as our faces are scrubbed with stinging pellets of wind-driven snow; we drop west into the Republic Creek valley. Here, months of record-setting snow accumulation pay off. Whooping and schussing and choking on face shots, we drop 2,000 feet through aspen and spruce and small meadows. Lisa laughs in warning as Don approaches: "He's coming in hot!" Like running a river of powder, sometimes we're deep in the flow, and other times we eddy out. The avalanche danger is not forgotten but rather kept in perspective. All senses are attuned, not just to the landscape, but to each other, knowing what's at risk, and wanting to keep grief at bay. With real risk comes an enhanced and shared sense joy in hard work, discovered runs, and earned turns and trust.
Tools of the trade, locked and loaded.
At the cabin, laughter releases tension; we're relieved to have made it back unscathed. Ivan shows up with a new "do" of long moss hair, which is later transformed into mustaches for all. There's a meal of pesto pasta that tastes better for all the effort of the day, followed by stargazing on the deck. We sit, fortified by the meal, soaking up the rewards of a good day and a good crew, and the mood turns contemplative.
Moss mustache anyone?
There's an unspoken sense that we've found what we were looking for. We've experienced a metamorphosis from a group of individuals into a team of friends with shared intentions, confirmation that even with—or perhaps because of—all the risks, we are a group that is most at home in the mountains. Don breaks out the champagne, intending to celebrate this hoped-for confluence of enduring and newfound friendships, but Anne and Ivan have news to share—last night, when the moon was near full, they skied to the falls where Ivan asked Anne if she'd join him in marriage, for all the adventures, risks, and joys of a lifetime.

This walkthrough demonstrates how to add localization support to a WCF RIA Services business application. Today, many business applications need to be used by people in various parts of the world. Silverlight, ASP.NET, and WCF RIA Services include support for applications localized for a particular culture or locale. In this walkthrough, you will write an application that can load user interface strings written in either English or Canadian French, depending on the value of the language setting in the browser.
Configuring the client project to support specific languages.
Configuring the test page to use localized resources.
Configuring Internet Explorer to load a localized page.
Adding support for bi-directional languages.
This and the other walkthroughs presented in the WCF RIA Services documentation require several prerequisite programs, such as Visual Studio 2010 and the Silverlight Runtime and SDK, be installed and configured properly, in addition to WCF RIA Services and the WCF RIA Services Toolkit. They also require installing and configuring SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with Advanced Services and installing the AdventureWorks OLTP and LT database.
The following procedure shows how to specify supported languages in the client project file.
Select the Silverlight Business Application template from Silverlight group of the Installed Templates and name the new project LocalizedBusinessApp.
In Solution Explorer, right-click the client project (LocalizedBusinessApp), and then click Unload Project.
Right-click the client project again and then click Edit LocalizedBusinessApp.vbproj or Edit LocalizedBusinessApp.csproj.
The project file opens in the designer.
Find the SupportedCultures element and add the culture code for French (Canada) [fr-CA]. Use either a comma or a semi-colon to delimit the culture codes.
In Solution Explorer, right-click the client project and then click Reload Project.
The project is reloaded into Solution Explorer.
Adding support to your application for an additional language involves essentially, creating copies of existing resource files, renaming the copied files, and then translating the strings in the newly copied resource files. The following procedures show how to localize the resources in the server and client projects.
In the Solution Explorer, in the server project (LocalizedBusinessApp.Web), expand the Resources folder.
Right-click the RegistrationDataResources.resx file and then click Copy.
Right-click the Resources folder and then click Paste.
Rename Copy of RegistrationDataResources.resx to RegistrationDataResources.fr-CA.resx.
The culture code must be included in the file name to correctly establish that the resource belongs to that culture.
Similarly, copy the ValidationErrorResources.resx file and rename it to ValidationErrorResources.fr-CA.resx.
Double-click RegistrationDataResources.fr-CA.resx to open it in the Resource Designer.
Replace the English values and comments with French equivalents, as shown in the following table.
The Comment strings are typically used for tool tips.
Comment voulez-vous que votre nom être affiché dans l'application?
This walkthrough does not localize all of the strings. To complete the localization for the server resources, you would also localize ValidationErrorResources.fr-CA.resx.
In the client project, expand the Web folder and then expand Resources.
Right-click the Resources folder, click Add, and then click Existing Item.
Navigate to the LocalizedBusinessApp.Web\Resources folder.
Click the down arrow on the Add button and then click Add As Link.
The localized files are added as links in the client project.
In the client project, expand the Assets folder and then expand Resources.
Create a copy of ApplicationStrings.resx and rename it to ApplicationStrings.fr-CA.resx.
Create a copy of ErrorResources.resx and rename it to ErrorResources.fr-CA.resx.
Create a copy of SecurityQuestions.resx and rename it to SecurityQuestions.fr-CA.resx.
Open ApplicationStrings.fr-CA.resx in the Resource Designer.
To complete the localization for the client resources, you would also localize ErrorResources.fr-CA.resx and SecurityQuestions.fr-CA.resx.
The following procedure shows how to specify culture information in the test page.
In the server project, open LocalizedBusinessAppTestPage.aspx in Source view.
The client application is now ready to show either of its two different versions. To view the Canadian French version, you must configure your Web browser to use Canadian French as its default language. The following procedure describes how to configure Internet Explorer.
Press F5 to run the solution.
The application starts in Internet Explorer. Unless the language preference in Internet Explorer is already set to French Canada, the strings appear in English.
Click the Tools menu and then click Internet Options.
On the General tab, click Languages.
The Language Preference dialog box appears.
Select French (Canada) [fr-CA] and then click OK.
In the Language Preferences dialog box, move the French language to the top of the list.
Click OK two times to close the dialog boxes.
The pages should now appear in French.
Notice that the Login dialog box is in French.
To add support for a bi-directional language to a Silverlight Business Application, you would follow the previous steps, substituting the locale code shown for the bi-directional language of your choice. In addition, you would need to specify the flow direction, as shown in the following procedure.
In each resource file that contains bi-directional language strings, add a new row with a Name of FlowDirection and a Value of RightToLeft.
In the root element of each XAML window that you want to implement bi-directional language, add a FlowDirection attribute.
Bind the FlowDirection attribute value to the value added to the resource file, as shown in the following example.

Victorian Chamber looks forward to consultation on Secure Work Pilot Scheme
health safety and wellbeingstate governmentworkplace relations
The Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry will review the Secure Work Pilot Scheme announced today by the Victorian Government.
The scheme will provide up to five days of sick and carer's leave at the national minimum wage for casual workers in priority industries such as hospitality, cleaning, retail, security and aged care.
The Victorian Chamber recognises that there will be a range of challenges and benefits from keeping people who are sick, no matter what employment relationship they have, away from work. We will work with the Government and provide feedback on the creation of the pilot, with our member's interests firmly in mind. The Victorian Chamber will not support any additional cost, impost or taxes on business.
From the outset it is important to recognise that casual pay rates incorporate sick and carer's leave. There are employees who choose this form of work because the flexibility suits them, and they prefer to receive the casual loading rather than leave allowances.
We need to ensure that Victoria is the best place in Australia to run a business as we recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. What is not needed is new taxes on business.
To be attributed to Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chief Executive Paul Guerra:
"Following a brief conversation with the Treasurer today, I have seen an announcement from the Government but very little detail. We look forward to expressing our members' views as part of the consultation process.
"The Victorian Chamber will talk to members and government about the potential implications of this proposal, including the cost and complexity for business. The Victorian Chamber will not support any additional cost, impost or taxes on business, particularly as we are trying to restart the economy and incentivise the creation of more jobs.
"It is important to highlight that casual wage rates are higher and have leave built in and there is also a segment of the workforce that appreciates and relies upon the flexible nature of casual work arrangements."
Support to continue after Commercial Tenancy Relief Scheme ends
The Commercial Tenancy Relief Scheme is ending on 15 January 2022. Although eligible tenants will no longer be entitled to rent relief after this date, tenants and landlords will still have access to support via the Victorian Small Business Commission.
Educational experiences for school children given a boost under new State Government initiative
Thousands of businesses providing educational experiences for Victorian schoolchildren will be given a boost under the Victorian Government's $112.9 million Positive Start in 2022 initiative. The funding, announced by Premier Daniel Andrews and Minister for Education James Merlino, aims to get children back enjoying the experiences they missed out on during Victoria's lockdowns in 2020 and 2021.
'Peace of mind' for events industry under State Government's restart package and Australian-first insurance scheme
As Victoria emerges from COVID-19, the State Government has bolstered the confidence of organisers of creative, sporting, business and community events to plan and stage events with an interruption insurance scheme and restart package.
How the Digital Jobs program can help you source the best digital talent
Over the next three years, the Victorian Government's $64 million Digital Jobs program aims to produce up to 5,000 job-ready candidates with up-to-date digital skills that will help Victorian businesses thrive.


Every political campaign does opposition research. It's not often the opposition gets to see it.
A 1,418-page report on Gov. Larry Hogan was left open to downloading by the public, and The Daily Record's Bryan P. Sears was among those to crack it open. The report was compiled for the Democratic Governors Association, a spokeswoman confirmed to the paper.
The report includes biographical information, business details and a number of news stories. It was put together by Washington, D.C.-based Spiros Consulting, which frequently conducts opposition and public policy for Democrats.

Introducing… Discogs (psst, attention music collectors!)
It may seem as though there are too many disturbing things going on in this world right now and too much to be concerned with to be talking about an online resource for music recordings, but don't tell that to a record collector! These are passionate folks, dedicated to their pursuit of that one extremely rare record to complete an artist collection, or to finding previously unknown recordings from some obscure genre — Northern Soul, for example. If you spend a lot of time on eBay or in the last remaining record stores searching for elusive vinyl, or if you've been Googling your heart out to learn more about the records currently in your own collection, or if you wistfully remember Goldmine Magazine from back in its heyday, you need to know about Discogs.
Discogs, a crowd-sourced online music information repository is "on a mission to build the biggest and most comprehensive music database and marketplace."

What can I do with Discogs? You can track down rare records that you won't find elsewhere, and look up information about the albums you already own. You can buy great vinyl (and many other formats) for your collection, or sell your recordings online to a knowledgable and appreciative audience.
What formats of music will I find on Discogs? Every format you can think of, and many you've probably never heard of before — vinyl, CD, cassettes, CDrs, DVDs, Box Sets, shellac, flexi-disc, VHS, SACD, Blu-ray, 8-Track, Laserdisk, DVDr, hybrid, lathe cut, file, acetate, CDV, memory stick, Blu-Ray-R, Edison Disc, Minidisc, Reel-to-Reel, Floppy disk, DCC, 4-Track cartridge, HD DVD, UMD, Betamax, Pathe Disc, Microcassette, DAT, PlayTape, U-matic, SelectaVision, VHD, cylinder, Betacam SP, Video2000, Video8…
Why should I create a free Discogs account on their website? With a Discogs account, you can create a listing of all the records you own and look up information, current value and availability. You can also create a wish list for all the records you want. You can track all your Discogs purchases, plus you will have access to the Discogs forums to get your questions answered by expert musicologists and collectors.
It would be really cool to have an easy-to-use Discog app. for my smartphone. Do they have that? Yup, there is a Discog app. for iPhone or Android. Download it now.

Q: Axis error about runtime location The error is:
Exception occurred while reading or
writing file {0}The Axis2 facets
cannot be installed since the Axis2
runtime location has not been set.  Go
to the Web Services preference page
and set the Axis2 runtime location
under Axis2 Preferences.
In the preferences mentioned, the location is set correctly and in fact, it says "Axis2 runtime loaded successfully" after loadign the correct runtime location. So what's going on? Any solutions other than re-installing eclipse or creating a new workspace?
I am using  Axis2 1.4.1 and eclipse.

A: Dobedani,
First download this file Apache Axis 2 Runtime Binary
extract the file contents, goto window -> preferences -> web services -> Axis 2 preferences and look for the extracted folder, make sure you select the folder that contains the bin folder.
Ohh, i forgot to mention you have to add the Axis 2 facetes to your project to complete the fix, goto project properties -> project factes -> Modify project and add the Axis 2 Facets which were installed on the prior step.
That's it.

A: just created a new dynamic web project and created a class then created a new web service from it, then imorted the old web service which worked this time

A: Re-check your axis version used with Eclipse (to be sure), as illustrated by this thread.
And try the procedure described here, and illustrated by this tutorial.

Choose the Axis2 war file's folder location in the Eclipse dialog at:

Window -> Preferences -> Web Services -> Axis2 Emitter

Or if it still does not work:

Actually we found out that if you simply create a dummy web service with Axis2, the problem will also go away

Or:

It happens when your org.apache.axi2.facet plugin directory is corrupted (missing exploadedwar?).
  The best way to fix this is copy over a good copy of that from another workspace (create a new one) over your existing workspace. You can find the directory at /.metadata/.plugins/org.apache.axis2.facet.

A: I had a similar problem and followed the instructions here, but still had problem, I finally checked Window->Preference->WebService->Server and Runtime and changed to read Axis 2 and change Web service runtime to Apache Axis2

A: The way it worked for me is slightly different. After I copied the exploadedwar folder I deleted all axis related jar files from \lib and copied them from original axis2-1.6.1\lib. It worked..

A: Sorry, but I didn't find the explanations on the web very clear. For less nerdy developers like myself I would like to add that Axis2 cannot be installed via the Eclipse update manager: you need to indeed download and install Axis2 yourself. There are additional plugins available though that can be installed with the update manager: Axis2 Tools & SDK. BTW, I found a directory org.apache.axis_1.4.0.v200905122109 in my plugins folder but that is old stuff. HTH
Kind regards,
Dobedani

challenges of being a woman
The challenge of being a woman … A woman can ask her employer to conduct a pay audit, but she risks being viewed by management as a troublemaker. A woman in a high tech position may find her organization receptive to her negotiations for better career opportunities, flexible work schedules, and cultural changes. While they were at our home, we engaged in conversations with them about their lives and families. Women who change jobs have to prove themselves to their new employers. While a man may be a practical woman could think farfetched. Leaving for a new position seems like a good way to make up the pay disparity. Study after study has shown that women don't just deal with a wage gap — we also pay a "pink tax." My research found that when examined concurrently, for female STEM undergraduates with high scientist and/or ge… Replay. Sadly, racial and ethnical racism happens in the workplace.

The bi-annual Auto Expo is synonymous with global unveilings, high profile launches, concept showcases, etc., and the 2016 edition is no different. Renault India, whose Kwid took the domestic market by storm last year, will carry the momentum forward with a couple of significant product unveils. They have also decided to showcase concepts which will spawn future products for the domestic as well as international car markets. In this post, we will cover all the details regarding new cars by Renault at Auto Expo 2016 with expected prices and launch dates. You can click on the link here to check out the Auto Expo 2016 lineups of other major manufacturers.
Renault's latest small car has been a massive hit with the Indian public with more than 1 lac bookings registered till date and French car maker is looking to capitalise on this success by introducing an AMT equipped version of the Kwid. Dubbed as the Easy-R gearbox, the AMT 'box will come mated to 1.0 L unit, which made it's debut at the event, instead of the current car's 799cc mill. The 1.0 L SCe showcased here comes with a 1.0 litre petrol mill. Use of clever technology means the Kwid 1.0 litre delivers usable power even at the lower end.
Since the Renault Kwid AMT will rival the likes of the Maruti Alto K10 AMT, our guess is that prices will start at around INR 3.5 lacs.
As we mentioned earlier, it is the 1.0 L engine variant that will get the AMT. This engine will, quite obviously, be more powerful than the 0.8 L unit with estimated figures of 60 bhp and 80 Nm.
The Kwid AMT will be a direct rival to the Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 AMT.
Renault has also showcased two rather interesting modified versions of the Kwid. Christened as the Kwid Racer and the Kwid Climber, these models showcase the possibilities of further enhancing the visual appeal of this rugged-looking small car. The Kwid Climber boasts of higher ground clearance, beefier tires, and short overhangs at both ends.
The Renault Kwid Racer designed along the lines of high performance race machines boasts of 18 inch alloy wheels, low profile tires, honed aerodynamics, bucket seats and roll cage. The headlamps are full LED and the interiors features the usage of materials like Alcantara, aluminium and carbon.
The Renault Duster might have been one of the most popular SUVs on sale in India, but it has started losing out to Hyundai Creta and Maruti S-Cross in recent times. With the Maruti Vitara Brezza almost on our doorsteps, it's about time the Duster gets a makeover of sorts. No surprise, then, that the much anticipated Duster facelift would make its India debut at the fast-approaching motor show next month. Subsequently, the Duster facelift India launch will take place in March. The Duster facelift, akin to the Kwid, is expected to debut with an Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) and good chances that it will look considerably fresher than the current model. Renault will unveil the Duster facelift for India on 4th February at the Auto Expo.
Expect the upcoming model to command a slightly higher price tag than the current model. The AMT model is expected to be priced at roughly INR 13 lakhs.
Apart from the advent of an AMT variant, the Duster will continue to soldier on with the current set of motors, which means that internationally acclaimed K9K 1.5-litre Diesel mill will continue to be available in two power states, while the petrol variant will carry on to feature a 1.6-litre mill.
The updated Duster will rival the Hyundai Creta, the Maruti S-Cross, the Maruti Vitara Brezza and the high-end variants of the Ford EcoSport.
The exterior of the Lodgy World Edition features a new Fiery Red paint job with white pinstripes, a roof mounted rear spoiler, and 15 inch alloy rims. It is based on the Renault Lodgy Stepway edition. The interiors of the Lodgy World Edition feature orange accents and highlights on the center console, instrument cluster, HVAC vents, seats and floor carpets. The steering wheel has an exclusive "World Edition" lettering on one of the spokes.
Apart from the above two products, Renault is also displaying its current range at the motor show coupled with stunning concepts. Renault India is yet to unveil the Duster facelift, but you may safely stay tuned to Car Blog India for more information on the product line-up by Renault at Auto Expo 2016 along with details of the updated Renault Duster at Auto Expo 2016.

The model, influencer and all-around beauty queen is on a solo mission to bring her wedding dress home — and as bad luck would have it, there seems to be one mishap after the other for the perpetually upbeat Dubliner.
While she scrambled to get her now too-big dress altered, her fiancé, Robert Barr, broke his foot just days earlier. But nothing will stop this bride and groom-to-be from declaring their love for each other in front of their loved ones.
"I went over to pick up my dress and my flight was delayed. It doesn't fit, which was a little bit worrying but I was straight into the alterations this morning," explains Lynn on a call toMagazine+.
The 34-year-old may be manically checking off the last of her to-do list ahead of her nuptials this Thursday, which are set to take place in the Italian countryside, but the laid-back beauty could only be described as a bridechilla.
"We don't get stressed, to be honest — I was only a little stressed when the dress didn't fit.
"The wedding planner is giving out stink to us because we are so laid back. She is asking us questions and we don't come back for days. We are just like, 'Whatever you think — we don't mind.'
"And she just keeps coming back to me: 'But what do you think?'" laughs the much-loved influencer.
While some women have curated a mood board of their 'dream day' from the time of their inception, Lynn, who has amassed over 62k followers on Instagram, has never visualised a big white wedding.
"I still think you don't need to get married, and each to their own — we are obviously getting married but I wouldn't have been upset or angry if he hadn't proposed. I suppose this was just the next step for us."
With an illustrious modelling career that has seen the Jervis Street native grace the catwalk in every wedding dress imaginable, it was almost a case of wedding dress fatigue for Lynn.
"People are asking what my dress is like and I am not going to tell people until the day," she teases.
"But I have honestly worn thousands of dresses — I used to do a lot of bridal modelling and I've worn the most incredible couture gowns and never really found anything I saw that was that special. I was worried I wouldn't find anything I liked.
"Then I found one dress on Pinterest and tracked it down to a shop in London — that was the first dress I tried on and I said yes.
"Then I found another dress and I fell in love with it too. I never thought I would have two dresses. I thought it would feel like putting on just another dress, but I am just so excited to wear them now. They are so beautiful.
"Robert asked, 'Are you finished with your dresses now?' And I was like 'No, I have a wedding wardrobe for the week!'
After 35-year-old Robert got down on bended knee in Mykonos in 2020, there was only one obvious destination for the hen party.
"The hen party in Mykonos was quite big. When Robert proposed I just fell in love with Mykonos and I text the girls and I said, 'This is where I want my hen.'
"I didn't expect them to follow through but they planned it there and we stayed for five nights.
"It was perfection — really chilled beach clubs and gorgeous restaurants. My four bridesmaids are angels.
"I wanted something that could include all my family too, so I also had a Dublin hen. My nanny had a ball — I had to put her in a taxi at 2am. She's 74. She hasn't a hip of her own and she was raving all night.
"If you're in doubt about what to do for the hen just ask the bride. My friends did surprise me with a stripper, which I was actually mortified about because my mam and nanny were standing there and Robert's mam was too," she says.
"But I think brides just have to take it with a pinch of salt. The girls dressed me up in an Ireland jersey one night in Mykonos and then in a cat bikini with my cat's face on it.
"Just have fun with it — you're there with all the people you love and they are memories you will have for the rest of your life."
With the four-day countdown on, Lynn is looking forward to one thing this Thursday.
"I can't wait to spend the day with everyone I love in the world," she beams. "There are 80 close friends and family that have made such an effort to come to Italy.
"After 17 years, I am just so ready to marry Robert. We are best friends. We are as thick as thieves and sometimes it is like the blind leading the blind.
"It's going to be a week-long celebration of love."
Their wedding ceremony may not be televised à la Harry and Meghan, but there will be thousands of eyes following the pair's every move across social media.
"I am very lucky I don't get any hate or nasty messages, it's all very positive.
"A lot of people my age are on the same journey as me, they have probably just bought their own house and are getting married. I think I am just a very normal person and people see that on social media and maybe that's what they relate to."
And as far as Robert's foot is concerned?
"It's just so typical of us. Rob has broken so many bones, they call him Mr Glass. He was in the gym and started with pull-ups and he didn't realise there was a bench underneath him and then rolled over on his ankle. He's in a boot for six weeks and has crutches. He will be getting a queen's chair up the aisle from his groomsmen.
"These things happen," shrugs Lynn. "That's definitely the end of our bad luck, right?"
LYNN'S WEDDING PREP TOP TIPS
BRIDAL BEAUTY I went for regular facials with Kerry Hanaphy and she just tailored the treatments to exactly what I needed. I really stuck to a skin regime. I upped my water intake and also started taking Revive Beauty Complex — I swear by that, even for my hair growth.
HEN PARTY FASHION PICKS I wore a lot of Meshki, which is an Australian brand. I wore a Nadine Merabi dress on my Dublin hen and then if you are looking for something more high street, I wore lots of looks from River Island.
WEDDING DRESS EDIT I have three wedding dresses and other bridal looks. I am so excited to wear my dresses.
I got my dresses in Brown's Bride in London and Love Ellie Bridal in Cavan.
I could not recommend them more. I also then have another wedding dress I am wearing the night before, and that is from Phoenix V in Cork.
