Minister of Economic Affairs: Public sector wages should not be cut ({{contentCtrl.commentsTotal}})
Minister of Economic Affairs and Infrastructure Taavi Aas Source: Siim Lõvi /ERR
Minister of Economic Affairs Taavi Aas (Center) has said it is not necessary to start cutting salaries in the public sector, but other public sector management costs should be reviewed. He thinks during the crisis, investments in the construction sector should be given priority.
"Today, it really seems that the situation is better than initially thought. Of course, we all understand that this crisis is not over yet, and it is certainly too early to be overly optimistic," Aas told ERR on Monday.
The summer economic forecast presented by the Ministry of Finance Martin Helme (EKRE) on Monday is based on the principle that no new restrictions will be imposed. According to Aas, the forecast is the basis for the new budget, but it is true that it is not known how long the crisis will last.
Aas said it is not possible to save money by cutting salaries. "I do not see an opportunity to cut public sector salaries, because as a result of the great struggle, the salaries of teachers have been raised, the salaries of internal security staff have been raised and so on. It is not sensible to go for salary cuts today."
Aas noted the first priority when spending the loan money given to Estonia should be investments.
"I undoubtedly support investment in construction, the construction sector has been worried about the future. We know that private investment in the construction sector - today there is a risk that there will be less. It makes sense here if the public sector in the future - if there are projects, they will be launched faster," he said.
According to the Minister, it would also be reasonable to increase pensions next year. "I think it would make sense, because it's actually money that would come back to our economy pretty quickly. So from that position, we're definitely going to negotiate," he said.

We are using a batch output block that generates a lot of PDF files. This workflow is running in the Scheduler on one of our servers.
Depending on the last person who worked with Omniscope on that server, the resolution of the output PDF file is different? The template file is designed to the maximum resolution, so when Omniscope generates the PDF using a lower resolution, the views are not showing correctly and scrollbars appear.
Thanks for posting this. Can you send me the batch configuration file you are using and the template file (feel free to email it to me directly).
Thanks, just send you an email.
My suggestion for regular batch PDFs is to use the multi page document layout. This forces consistent sizing.
Thanks for the suggestion. Switching to multi page layout would require to redesign the template files completely. I hope that won't be necessary.

First, draw a large square to represent the head of the character. Then, create the body and the legs using small rectangles. When you are done, you can draw some features inside the head of the boy. You can start with the eyes that are made from circular shapes. Pupils are also made from small circles. Continue by drawing the mouth using a long curved line. Complete this step with the addition of both ears. Great! Let's proceed to the second step.
On top of the head of the boy clipart, draw a cap using a thin rectangle on the bottom and a bigger one on top. However, the one on the bottom must be larger as shown in the illustration below. On this shirt of the cartoon character, draw some stripes using three thin rectangles. Great job! We are done now! Let's proceed with the next step, which is adding some colors.
You can start by adding a skin color on the face, the ears and the hands of the cartoon boy. Then, you can add some red inside the cap and the pants. The shirt is filled with a light blue color (and a darker version for the stripes) while the pupils are filled in brown (just like the shoes). Finally, you can change the colors of all outlines as shown below.
Nice work creating this adorable boy clipart!
Excellent work! This boy is quite adorable. If you want to draw more characters similar to this one, then you can start by creating this fun version of a boy made from circular shapes. Once you are done, why not illustrate this popular blond version of a boy also made from simple shapes. However, if you prefer to work on something more challenging, then this boy made from complex shapes and digital effects is perfect for you! Have fun with all these lessons!

Amarillo Matters Announces $25,000 Investment in Local Community
Amarillo Matters announced today that they will invest $25,000 in the Amarillo economy to help support local businesses and encourage people to shop local.
"We know the pandemic has taken a toll on our economy and hit local businesses hard," Amarillo Matters President, Jason Herrick, said. "We wanted to do something to help while reminding people about the importance of shopping local."
Starting Monday (May 11) Amarillo Matters will draw the name of an eligible business and give them $1,000. The announcement will be made via Facebook Live. Customers who shop in the store that week will be eligible to win an additional $500, which will be given away the following Friday (May 15). To be eligible, businesses must be locally owned, a member of either the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce, the Amarillo Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, or the Amarillo Area Black Chamber of Commerce and have less than 50 employees. Any business interested in taking part in the effort is asked to register at amarillomatters.com/shoplocal.
"You've got to remember that a lot of these folks have been closed down for the past month or longer," Amarillo Matters Board Member, Trevor Caviness, said. "They're hurting, and it's up to our community to step up our support and keep as many of our dollars flowing through the local economy as possible."
It's estimated that 48 percent of each purchase at a local business is recirculated locally.
Although the initial commitment is $25,000, Amarillo Matters is actively fundraising to match that amount.
"We will continue to do this as long as we can," Herrick added. "This is our home, these are our friends and neighbors, and we want to do everything to not only help them recover but to thrive as we move through the summer months."

Lyme Disease Increases Risk for Mental Illness
According to a recent study by American and Danish experts, those with Lyme disease who were hospitalized had a 28 percent greater prevalence of mental illnesses and were twice as likely to have tried suicide after infection as people without the diagnosis.
It is thought that the study, a partnership between Columbia University and the Copenhagen Research Centre for Mental Health, is the first significant population-based analysis of the connection between Lyme disease and psychiatric disorders.
The study is published in the American Journal of Psychiatry's online edition on July 28.
The principal author of the study, psychiatrist Brian Fallon, MD, MPH, of the New York State Psychiatric Institute and Columbia University, said, "It is time to go beyond thinking of Lyme disease as a basic sickness that merely causes a rash." "Lyme illness can cause significant mental health problems in addition to the risk of serious cardiac, rheumatologic, and neurologic problems."
The Lyme and Tick-borne Diseases Research Center at Columbia is directed by Dr. Fallon, one of the world's leading experts on the neuropsychiatric impacts of Lyme disease. Michael Benros, MD, PhD, the study's primary investigator, Trine Madsen, PhD, the co-first author, and Annette Erlangsen, PhD, all psychiatric epidemiologists at the Research Centre for Mental Health, make up the research team.
Higher Rate of Suicide Deaths
The researchers compared the mental health information of people who received a hospital-based Lyme disease diagnosis to the rest of the Danish population who had never had a Lyme diagnosis recorded in the national medical register in order to conduct their study. Over a 22-year period, the researchers examined the medical record diagnoses of nearly 7 million people living in Denmark.
Prior to receiving a Lyme disease diagnosis, patients who had a history of mental illness or suicidal ideation were not included in the study.
In addition to having a higher risk of mental disorders and suicide attempts, the analysis showed that patients with Lyme disease also had a 42 percent higher rate of affective disorders like depression and bipolar disorder and a 75 percent higher rate of suicide death than those without the diagnosis.
Additionally, a higher incidence of mental problems, emotional disorders, and suicide attempts were linked to having had more than one episode of Lyme disease.
Every year, 500,000 people receive treatment for Lyme disease.
Lyme disease, commonly known as Lyme borreliosis, is a bacterial infection spread to humans by deer ticks and identified in and treated for by close to half a million people each year in the United States. The northeastern, mid-Atlantic, and north-central states have reported the bulk of instances, but the geographic area where ticks and diseases transmitted by ticks are discovered is still growing.
A two- to four-week course of oral antibiotics can cure the majority of cases, but 10 to 20 percent of patients may experience pain, lethargy, or difficulties thinking for months or years after therapy.
Numerous studies have suggested a link between Lyme disease and cognitive impairments in patients who have untreated illnesses or months to years after starting antibiotic therapy. People with late-stage Lyme disease may, in extreme situations, struggle with memory loss, irritability, sleep issues, and painful nerve damage.
Dr. Michael Benros stresses that the majority of patients do not experience serious mental health problems as a result of Lyme borreliosis. Only 7% of the almost 13,000 people with Lyme disease hospital diagnoses throughout the study period followed up with hospital physicians, complaining of symptoms later identified as mental illnesses.
Risk Awareness is Important for Clinicians and Patients
The study's results, however, are representative of a pattern in Lyme disease cases, according to the researchers, and should not be disregarded. The Danish medical registry only records psychiatric diagnoses made in hospitals, not by community-based clinicians, therefore the actual number of people who develop brand-new mental health issues as a result of infection is probably significantly greater.
According to Dr. Benros, "this cross-country study demonstrates the link between Lyme illness and psychiatric disorders." Patients should seek treatment and advice if they experience mental health difficulties and treating professionals should be aware of the elevated risk of mental health disorders, especially in the first year following a severe Lyme disease infection.
How does Lyme disease affect mental health?
It's a popular misperception that "chemical imbalances" are what cause depression and other ailments of a similar kind, but the reality is more complex.
According to Harvard Health, the system in people with depression may have receptors that are "oversensitive or insensitive to a specific neurotransmitter, causing their response to its release to be excessive or inadequate," or they may send a weaker message if there is not enough of the neurotransmitter.
Basically, significant mood swings could arise from any changes in our brain chemistry.
While some studies claim that depression and anxiety are two distinct diseases, others have found that the two can occasionally coexist.
There is research on both, depending on the chronic condition, but managing anxiety and depression while suffering from a chronic illness can be difficult.
Most people aren't aware that Lyme disease and anxiety or depression are related. Lyme disease, or Lyme borreliosis, is primarily recognized to cause neurological disorders and arthritis, but it can also lead to psychological symptoms like depression and anxiety. Ticks carry Lyme disease, which is brought on by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi.
The good news is that it's not all in your head and you are not just imagining it.
These very real symptoms might be brought on by a wide range of reasons. Numerous studies have found that patients with chronic medical diseases are more prone to develop depression and anxiety, and that these two conditions can actually worsen one another when they coexist.
An analysis published in The American Journal of Pathology reveals that inflammation is a substantial contributor to mood disorders and mental illness in general, as well as to the wide range of brain abnormalities linked to Lyme disease.
Gut health in general affects overall health. As a result of the gut-brain axis, which keeps your stomach and brain constantly in touch, when the gut is out of balance, it throws off everything in the body. The intestinal lining has perforations and is no longer functioning correctly in the majority of Lyme disease patients. Because of the unrestricted flow of undigested food molecules and other "bad stuff" into your system, this leads to nutritional inadequacies that have an effect on a person's mental and emotional well-being.
Nutrition is a crucial component of mental wellness. Even though it is common to see even slight mood swings, such fury or irritability, after not eating, nutrition also plays a big role in our health. Studies show that persons with anxiety and depression disorders consume worse quality food. Some research suggests that altering one's diet can lessen or even get rid of the symptoms of a number of chronic conditions while also enhancing general quality of life.
The symptoms of your anxiety and sadness are influenced by the way you conduct your life. Since household contaminants also cause melancholy and anxiety, we are urged to stay away from dangerous mold, pesticides (organophosphates), mercury, and certain prescription medications. Those who are exposed to pesticides have an approximately six-fold increased risk of getting depressive symptoms, according to a study that was published in the Annals of Epidemiology.
Lyme disease can also be managed by making the different changes listed above because it affects several systems. Along with cognitive impairment, memory loss, and other problems, anxiety and dejection are common symptoms of many types of Lyme disease, including Neurological Lyme Disease, also known as Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB).
Speak with your doctor before taking any medications, including antidepressants or dietary supplements.
Antidepressants are frequently prescribed for anxiety or depression, but they aren't right for everyone and they might not be as effective in the absence of other factors, such as emotional support or vitamin deficiency. Antidepressants were initially licensed for short-term usage and are frequently not the long-term solution, so using them temporarily while you make lifestyle adjustments might be really beneficial.
Ask your doctor about natural supplements like S-adenosyl methionine (SAMe), or B-Vitamins like Niacin if you're seeking for more holistic ways to treat your anxiety or depression.
Address Nutritional Deficits to help improve mental health while battling a chronic illness
Multiple dietary deficits are typical, making life with Lyme disease already challenging. The response is significant and includes chronic disease, depressive symptoms, impaired symptoms, and much more when your brain and body are deficient in high-quality nourishment or if you consume food with inflammatory components, like refined sugar.
Nutritional deficits are common, but having a chronic illness can make them worse. While taking supplements might be beneficial, as was said above, modest dietary adjustments can have a big impact on your Lyme disease and mental health issues.
There are trillions of bacteria in your digestive tract, some of which are beneficial to your health while others might harm it. Gut health is crucial to a healthy body. Certain dietary changes can alter your body's natural processes and enhance healthy bacteria while reducing inflammation.
Being physically active, seeking support from friends and family, spending time outdoors, receiving adequate sun exposure and counselling can help significantly. It is also important to get treated for Lyme disease and it's associated symptoms.

Ah, summer! It's a great time to be outdoors, enjoying the warm, sunny weather. Before you go outside, be sure to grab your sunscreen, that essential product that protects against skin cancer and sun damage. But which kind of sunscreen is best? There is a mesmerizing array of sunscreen options, but for our purposes let's limit the question to one: Nano or not nano?
We all recall the white noses of the beach lifeguards. The zinc oxide or titanium dioxide in these nose-protecting potions form a thick, white barrier that blocks damaging ultraviolet (UV) radiation by reflecting and scattering light. These days, nanoscale titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are increasingly popular sunscreen ingredients, as they provide a UV barrier but are nearly transparent.
One of the concerns raised by using nanoscale titanium dioxide and zinc oxide in sunscreens is the dearth of safety data on potential health that could arise from applying nanoscale minerals to the skin on a daily basis – including to skin that may be damaged (e.g., already sunburned). The sunscreens are then released into lakes or oceans, or washed down the drain with the bathwater with unknown environmental effects.
First, it must be pointed out that the same concern – lack of adequate safety data — applies to many of the traditional chemical sunscreen ingredients. Nanoscale materials may require additional scrutiny, however, because their properties can differ from their bulk-scale counterparts.
Some environmental advocacy groups, such as Friends of the Earth, citing the lack of safety data and unclear product labeling, have called on the Food and Drug Administration to require more testing and exercise better regulatory oversight. Meanwhile, because of these problems, Friends of the Earth ranks nanomaterial-containing sunscreens among the worst.
In contrast, Environmental Working Group, while recognizing the critical data gaps, generally ranks sunscreens with nanoscale zinc and titanium oxides as having a lower hazard than those containing the most common active ingredients, such as oxybenzone and octyl methoxycinnamate. As summarized by EWG, these non-nano ingredients are linked to a number of health hazards, including cancer and developmental and reproductive toxicity. EWG argues that, in addition to being more effective, sunscreens made with nanoscale zinc and titanium oxides generally contain fewer hazardous ingredients overall.
A range of opinions regarding nanoscale zinc and titanium oxides are available on popular websites, including Treehugger, Huffington Post, and the Green Guide. The one thing everyone seems to agree on is that the lack of adequate safety data makes it hard to draw definitive conclusions regarding the safety of nanomaterials in sunscreens.
The US Food and Drug Administration will soon be updating its "Sunscreen Monograph" – the regulatory document that specifies what chemicals can be used in sunscreen formulations, and in what concentrations. This is a clear opportunity for FDA to be more proactive, by requiring that more data be developed to demonstrate sunscreen ingredient safety, and that more data be made publicly available so that consumers can make better-informed choices.
In the meantime, if we are to avoid the real harm that over-exposure to the sun can cause, we have little choice but to select among sunscreen formulations — all of which contain insufficiently tested ingredients — hoping that whatever we do is better than the burn.
This entry was posted in Health Science, Nanotechnology and tagged consumer products, FDA. Bookmark the permalink. Both comments and trackbacks are currently closed.
– FoE has not ranked nano-scale ingredients among the worst in their reports because they have not assessed the range of ingredients used in sunscreens. Their reports raise legitimate concerns regarding the safety of nano-scale ingredients only.
– EWG's assessments are driven to a significant degree by extensive evidence showing that nano-scale ingredients don't or barely penetrate healthy skin. This contrasts with the most widely used other ingredients that either absorb themselves or enhance absorption of other ingredients. Further, many sunscreen ingredients breakdown when exposed to the sun, leading to exposures of unknown and unstudied chemicals.
– Ironically, nano-scale sunscreen ingredients are better studied than most sunscreen ingredients even when completely excluding non-nanoscale studies on zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
Disclosure: I am one of the authors on the EWG sunscreen reports, though I am no longer employed by EWG. The views expressed are my own.
Kristan – Thank you for your thoughtful response. One point I would like to add is that although several studies show that certain nanoparticles (notably zinc oxide and titanium dioxide) do not penetrate healthy, intact skin, few nanomaterials have been tested to date. Moreover, much less testing has been done on actively flexed or damaged skin.
Recent studies have found that quantum dots can penetrate abraded skin, and that fullerenes can penetrate flexed skin. And while this does not mean that nanoscale zinc or titanium oxides will also penetrate flexed or abraded skin – the bottom line is we just don't know.
Thanks for this. One of the more attractive features of nanoparticle-based sunscreens is that the nanoparticles can be finely tuned to suppress potentially harmful chemical activity – such as the generation of free radicals in sunlight. But evidence has recently come to light from a rather unusual source that not all manufacturers are taking the necessary steps to avoid the generation of hydroxyl radicals when nanoparticles in sunscreens are exposed to ultraviolet light (see http://community.safenano.org/blogs/andrew_maynard/archive/2008/06/21/nano-sunscreens-leave-their-mark.aspx ).
It's unclear how much of an issue this in terms of possible skin damage or environmental harm (as the sunscreens are washed off and dispersed), but if there is no regulatory distinction between chemically active and chemically benign nano-ingredients, responsible manufacturers end up being put at a disadvantage while less-responsible (or aware) ones continue to use materials with a poorly understood risk profile.
Thanks for the interesting post on the use nanotechnology in sunscreens. I am a lifeguard and actually use zinc oxide on a daily basis. It actually works great for me and does a better job than just applying regular spf 30. I've never really thought about the chemical effects it could have on my health, until i read this article. I think the FDA needs to another study on its effects.
As for the environmental issues, i definitely think something needs to be done to make all sunscreens less harmful to the environment especially for the oceans reefs. I can remember many times going to a crowded beach and seeing the sunscreen oil slick in the water. Hopefully someone can find a solution to this problem.

Do I have a motherboard problem?
I have a Gigabyte GA-970A-D3 motherboard and is just over 5 years old. I think one of my PCI slots is faulty but would welcome advice.
you may have to check BIOS or your motherboard manual sometimes slots share bandwidth and one may not work if another is used.
So try the slot with nothing in the others.
Thank you for your advice Fruit Bat. Not sure why I didn't get an alert when you sent this!! As it happens, I spotted a power problem. Two of the pins in the connector had shifted. Pushed them back in place and Bingo!!
I have also noticed that I have not had email alerts when I expected to.

Nadání Josefa, Marie a Zdenky Hlávkových, obecně známé jako Hlávkova nadace, je nejstarší existující česká nadace, založená 25. ledna 1904 architektem Josefem Hlávkou.

Hlávkova nadace spolu s Nadací Českého literárního fondu každoročně udělují Cenu Josefa Hlávky za vědeckou literaturu. Dále je udělována Medaile Josefa Hlávky.

Historie
Nejstarší česká nadace byla založena Josefem Hlávkou 25. ledna 1904 a zachovala si nepřetržitou právní kontinuitu až do současnosti.

Nadání bylo výhradním dědicem veškerého velice rozsáhlého jmění Josefa Hlávky a jeho posláním je sloužit vzdělanosti českého národa.

Finanční a ekonomický otřes v důsledku 1. světové války znehodnotil část majetkové nadace, ale ta přesto jen v letech 1904 až 1939 podpořila cca 3 500 nemajetných vysokoškolských studentů bezplatným ubytováním na Hlávkově koleji.

V roce 1953 byly rozhodnutím komunistické vlády zrušeny všechny české nadace s výjimkou Nadání Josefa, Marie a Zdenky Hlávkových, které byla ponechána možnost formální existence, však byla připravena o nemalou část nadačního majetku.

V roce 1954 byla Studentskému spolku pražských vysokoškoláků zabavena kolej Josefa Hlávky a převedena do vlastnictví státu. Po listopadu 1989 došlo k opětovnému rozvoji nadace.

Současnost
Nadání nyní spravuje jmění zahrnující především zámek Josefa Hlávky v Lužanech u Přeštic a nadační domy v Praze.

Výnosy z pronájmů slouží finančnímu zajištění nadačního programu, který vychází z přání zakladatele.

Svému účelu se vrátila i kolej Josefa Hlávky v Jenštejnské ulici v Praze, kde jsou na náklady Nadání ubytováni vynikající studenti vysokých škol.

Péče o stav koleje zajišťuje České vysoké učení technické, které také budovu vlastní.

Od roku 1991 činily nadační příspěvky pro vynikající studenty vysokých škol a mladé vědce a umělce více než 55 milionů korun.

V ediční řadě Národohospodářského ústavu podporované nadací bylo vydáno 79 odborných studií.

Baxter Signs Infusion Pump Consent Decree
Posted by Plastic Surgery Practice | Jul 5, 2006 | Regulation | 0 |
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that Baxter Healthcare Corp and two of its corporate executives have signed a consent decree of condemnation and permanent injunction for certain infusion pumps made by the firm. They agreed to stop manufacturing and distributing all models of the Colleague Volumetric Infusion Pump and the Syndeo Patient Controlled Analgesic Syringe Pump within the United States until they correct manufacturing deficiencies and until the devices are made in compliance with the FDA's current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) requirements and the Quality System (QS) regulation for devices.
"Infusion pumps deliver life-saving drugs and nutrition to thousands of critically ill patients," says Daniel Schultz, MD, director of FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health. "But if they don't work properly, patients are put at risk. Baxter has clearly had significant problems with some its infusion pumps. With this action today, Baxter has agreed to correct those problems. FDA's goal is to see that the necessary corrections are made, that the public health is protected, and that users have access to safe and effective pumps."
A June 2005 FDA inspection of Baxter's Round Lake, Ill, facility revealed deficiencies from the CGMP and QS requirements, including the firm's failure to implement adequate management controls over its quality system operations and corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) procedures. During this inspection, design defects relating to the reliability of the Colleague and the Syndeo pumps were also revealed.
Prior to the 2005 inspection, the FDA conducted two other inspections of Baxter's medication-delivery systems facility, in September 2000, and June 2002, both of which revealed lack of management controls over the firm's quality system operations and inadequacy of its CAPA and complaint-handling systems.
Under the consent decree, the FDA will allow the firm to continue to provide routine service maintenance, and to replace components, parts, or accessories for the Colleague and Syndeo pumps that were in the hands of customers before October 12, 2005. Baxter is also required to submit to the FDA a detailed corrective action plan to bring the Colleague and Syndeo pumps currently in use in the United States into compliance with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
If corrective action under the decree is completed and Baxter has been allowed to resume manufacturing and distribution, the firm will hire an independent auditor to conduct audit inspections of its domestic infusion pump facilities at least once a year for at least 4 years. Results of the audit inspections will be reported directly to the FDA.

CSJ 2021 Goodyear Cotton Bowl (College Football Playoff Semifinal) Preview: #4 Cincinnati vs. #1 Alabama
After years of public uproar (especially of those that follow the non-Power Five leagues) in the consideration of Group of Five schools, Cincinnati gets their shot to show what it can do in a college football playoff setting. In previous years, undefeated G5 schools were passed up for one-loss Power Five teams, UCF was that team in 2017 who like Cincinnati was the only undefeated team in the FBS ranks.
The Bearcats get a shot at the top seeded team, the Alabama Crimson Tide. Alabama won the SEC Championship Game in convincing fashion, with a 41-24 win over previously undefeated Georgia.

2. The uncovering of the DoJ and FBI graft – will anything eventuate from it?
According to recently unsealed testimony –Pres. Obama was aware of the dossier during his presidency. No action taken –The 1st 33-pgs of the dossier was delivered to the FBI by John McCain's aide David Kramer in Dec 2016. Again nothing happens.
What was proven yesterday, is that not only do we have a corrupt media but a corrupt system which supports Police persecution.
To top it all off the costs of which I am now ordered to pay, which have also been inflated by the Police, are in excess of £40,000! Which is made up of £20,000 ordered to be paid within 14 days then reverting to over £40,000 if that deadline is not met.
That is 4 times more than what my court costs were to bring this case in the first place, absolutely shocking I know! This was done by the Police in order to get me in a position to accept and take a deal from them, of which I REFUSED because freedom and justice have no price!
Expensive way to find out, Tommy. Delingpole says TR is in the wrong – is he more Farage than Batten on this?
4. With a straight face we promised 'em Brexit, they believed us and voted us back in '17. What tossers.
To put it into perspective, Lewis Hamilton's pole position time for last year's British Grand Prix at Silverstone – one minute 25.892 seconds – was 34 seconds faster than the lap record for a grand prix motorcycle. A really quick road car, such as a Ferrari or McLaren supercar, would lap at around that pace, too.
How does the F1 car do this? Part of it is an engine that produces close to 1,000bhp. But the difference in lap time is mainly made up of the F1 car's cornering abilities. And the main reason for them is aerodynamics.
Not unlike in slalom skiing.
quoting i think from this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsp6Y7GhUGQ -but no way I'm going to sit through a 9 minute TR whinge to check.
That is the ONLY thing which will fix the fraud, corruption, and treason rampant in the UK government.

In Spain, election results are good news
" Spain's indignados made the move from city squares to the halls of power on Sunday in municipal and regional elections that saw an anti-poverty activist elected as mayor of Barcelona and the ruling People's Party (PP) battered at the ballot box," reports the Guardian.
Elections in thirteen regions and more than 8,000 municipalities saw sweeping gains for new left-wing alliances, as voters delivered their verdict on rampant corruption, a stagnant economy and vicious austerity. The two traditional parties, the ruling conservative PP and the opposition social democratic PSOE were reduced to just 52 percent of the vote.
The biggest victory of the night was for Ada Colau, an anti-eviction activist and leader of Barcelona en Comú (Barcelona in Common), who was elected mayor of Barcelona. Barcelona en Comú is a grassroots coalition of several parties and thousands of activists. It includes Podemos, the new radical left party, which was founded just over a year ago and won 5 MEPs in last year's European elections.
Ada Colau is a founding member of the Mortgage Victims' Platform, which fights evictions, a huge issue in Spain, where there are more than 5 million empty houses. Half a million people have been thrown out of their homes but still have their mortgage debt with banks. One analyst explained: "The Spanish mortgage system is different from the UK in several respects: a home owner can find their property repossessed easily, if they fall into just one month's arrears, and a bank is entitled to be repaid the full loan amount at that point –even if the borrower has already paid back 50% of the original loan. If a bank repossesses and sells a property on, it is allowed to keep the entire sum raised at sale even if the loan is cleared and there is an excess."
Barcelona en Comú was crowdfunded and underpinned by a strong code of ethics, written by its members. It plans to limit the mayoral monthly salary to €2,200 (£1,600) and eliminate official cars and expense budgets for attending meetings.
Elsewhere, the elections were a disaster for the ruling PP, which previously controlled a majority of Spain's regional parliaments – now they run none of the newly elected ones. Nor are they certain to run Madrid, where their candidate, a countess, won most votes and 21 seats on the city council. But Podemos came from nowhere to take twenty and the PSOE came third, so a left-wing alliance looks possible.
With a general election later this year, the PP could be on the way out. More significantly, the whole post-Franco model of politics is being called into question by the rise of Podemos, which came third in many contests. Speaking in Madrid on the night of its spectacular gains, its leader, Pablo Iglesias, declared that "in Madrid and Barcelona there was a battle between business as usual and happiness and hope. Hope won."
He went on: "If you do not impose democracy on the economy, you open the door to the totalitarianism of the market and corruption. Today Madrid has shown that we can defeat the party of the banks in elections."

Labour is at a crossroads – socialism or austerity?
Spiralling executive pay can only be curbed by having it determined by employees
"The biggest victory of the night was for Ada Colau, an anti-eviction activist and leader of Barcelona en Comú (Barcelona in Common), who was elected mayor of Barcelona."
Let's hope London will have a 'London in Common' mayoral candidate.
We do have a possibility with Christian Wolmar who has a track record on working with the homeless. Unfortunately we'll end up with someone like Dianne Abbot.
Seems like a decent bloke with good ideas but he will be hamstrung by his association with the Labour Party. And anyway, Labour will most likely will select a Blairite.
Talented and experienced candidates like Wolmar should break with the Labour Party instead of wasting their energy banging their heads against a brick wall.
Rod, we are talking about selecting a Labour candidate. How is Wolmar hamstrung by being associated with the Labour Party?
Well, I'm talking about the content of the above article titled "In Spain, election results are good news" and I'm hoping to see more good news election results in the UK.
The pro-austerity, pro-Trident, pro-military intervention Labour Party has just lost a general election in the UK.
The anti-austerity, anti-Trident, anti-military intervention SNP achieved a startlingly good result.
Well no, it's not enough said. My point is that, if we take what you say, then all Labour candidates are tainted and in case you haven't noticed the pro Trident Pro austerity pro military intervention Tories have just won an election.
The thing about the Tories is that they weren't offering an alternative to the Tories.
They actually were the Tories.
Now, if you want an alternative to a Tory government you'll probably want to vote for it. Labour failed to provide an alternative and instead offered unconvincing, incoherent nonsense. And the Labour Party was rewarded appropriately.
John P Reid says:
I think Sadiq will win, Lammys blown his chance
Isn't Billericky outside London
Well done John P Reid. You spelled it incorrectly and is it relevant? The T shirt says " Stop Evictions". This is a big issue in Spain and I believe that the government and the banks have done that. All it was doing was throwing more properties onto an already fllooded market driving down prices.
I thought it was where u live?

Q: Error with recipient when sending a bounce email for a forwarded email in AWS SES We have the following system set up in AWS SES: someone sends an email to our client (let's say enterprise1@ourclient.com) and our client forwards it to us (Plain-message forwarding to client1@ourcompany.com).
When we get the email, the Return-Path header is set to enterprise1@ourclient.com and the recipient list is set to client1@ourcompany.com.
Then, when we create and send a bounce using the SES client´s SendBounceAsync function (.Net core), we use the return-path address in the BouncedRecipientInfoList property of the SendBounceRequest. But then, we receive an error from SES telling us that the address is not in the recipient list:
Failed to generate a bounce for <7qg0qu8o6jhlult3uo4jupmvt04k4dbho8gb13g1>: Could not find email address <enterprise1@ourclient.com> in list of recipients for message ID <7qg0qu8o6jhlult3uo4jupmvt04k4dbho8gb13g1>

Clarification: in this case, we try to bounce using our client address as the sender (they want the users to see their address in the from). The domain is verified in our SES account. When we do this without the forwarding (the user sends the email directly to us and we bounce it), the bounce works.
How can we fix this? How can we send this bounce email?

Thomas William Hardison was born in Richland, Arkansas (Columbia County) on April 2, 1884. His parents were Dr. William Harvey and Caroline Peavy Hardison. He attended Hendrix College in 1902-1903 before going to Memphis Hospital Medical College. After two years in medical school he returned to Arkansas. In 1905 he was licensed (Conway County) as a medical doctor by the state medical board.
His first medical practice was in Tucker, Arkansas. After a short time he secured a position with the Fort Smith Lumber Company as a contract physician for lumbermen in the small town of Adona on lower Petit Jean Mountain. During his first year there, 1907, he married Julia Alma Hutto, a young school teacher (whom he referred to as Mary in his writings). They lived on Petit Jean Mountain the rest of their lives. The couple had one child, a son who also went to Hendrix College, became a violinist, then later earned a Ph. D in engineering in California.
In Adona, Dr. Hardison quickly endeared himself to the lumbermen. He took part in their rough-house fun but was respected for the serious attention he gave to the medical care of the lumber jacks and their families. At the same time he was called on by the sick local mountain settlers. He continued working for the lumber company until 1909 when the mill closed its operation. At that time, Dr. Hardison chose to stay with the mountain people. For at least 30 of his 52 years of medical practice (45 on Petit Jean Mt.) he kept a diary of the people he served and of life on Petit Jean mountain. During these years he was active in the Conway County Medical Association and was President in 1923. When his patients needed surgery, he sent them to Morrison, often accompanying them, sometime administering the anesthetic during the operation. Earning a living with the poor mountaineers was difficult. He was often paid with produce or in bartering, yet he never turned down a call for service.
To add to his income he began a small farming operation and wrote stories for magazines, successfully publishing at least 8 articles for the Ladies Home Journal, Taylor-Trot wood Magazineand The Country Gentleman. Once he won $15,000 from Proctor and Gamble in a writing contest. In his later years he wrote a 24 chapter draft of a book of his life and his practice. Though it was never published it contains tales of his patients, how he traversed Petit Jean Mountain on foot, on horseback, in the snow and though fields of wild flower, or later in a car, and how the mountain and its people changed over the years.
The last paragraph in his unpublished book conveys his love and commitment to Petit Jean Mountain and the patients he served.
Always with pencil in hand, Dr. Hardison took notes on the mountain's seasons, its animals, rocks, caves, trees, the climate and later wrote pamphlets on folklore, geology, paleontology, natural history, the Anglo-American settlement of Petit Jean, its archeology and aboriginal art. He cataloged many of these items. Much of his collection was donated to Hendrix College and later to the State Park Service.
Dr. Hardison is known as the Father of Arkansas State Parks. It was earlier in his lumber contract days as he listened to lumbermen discuss the cost of logging the trees on Petit Jean Mountain that the "idea occurred to me that the trees might as well be left to live out their lifespan unmolested by axe and saw and the area converted to a park"* that eventually led to Petit Jean becoming Arkansas' first state park. It was through Dr. Hardison's efforts that the Arkansas State Park System was established. In 1927 the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society awarded Dr. Hardison the Pugsley Bronze Medal for his service in the Arkansas State Park Movement. He served on the State Park Commission for many years and was Chairman from 1937-1941. A Building named Hardison Hall was rededicated in his honor at Petit Jean State Park after his death in 1957 and a large bronze plaque was placed over the cornerstone designating the tribute. In 1956 Hendrix College conferred upon Dr. Hardison an Honorary Doctorate of Laws Degree.
co-mingled ashes were scattered on Petit Jean Mountain by their son.

Take a detour. The rural countryside of the Santa Cruz valley is a welcome way station in the busy corridor between Arizona's two metropolises.
Midway between Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona City began as a planned community. Now, it's a respite for motorists on the heavily used Interstate 10 corridor.
It was water – deep water – that spurred the creation of Arizona City. In 1959, the Arizona City Development Corporation discovered one of the state's purest water sources. Near the Sawtooth Mountains, deep water courtesy of the Santa Cruz River, which flows north from Mexico, was struck. And just like that, a community sprung up in the desert.
Nearby attractions include Picacho Peak State Park, 22 miles to the southwest, the site of the state's only Civil War battle, and, to the north 20 miles, the preserved ruins at Casa Grande National Monument. If you're a rock collector, the Agate Fields south of town boast distinctive banded agates. You can also fish, swim, or sail at the 48-acre manmade lake, or simply stretch your legs on the gently used country roads.


Title: UNCONVENTIONAL FRIEND JOHN 15:15 "I do not call you slaves anymore, because a slave doesn't know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have heard from My Father."  Mark 2:1-12 "When He entered Capernaum again after some days, it was reported that He was at home. So many people gathered together that there was no more room, not even in the doorway, and He was speaking the message to them. Then they came to Him bringing a paralytic, carried by four men. Since they were not able to bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof above where He was. And when they had broken through, they lowered the mat on which the paralytic was lying. Seeing their faith, Jesus told the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven." But some of the scribes were sitting there, thinking to themselves: "Why does He speak like this? He's blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone? " Right away Jesus understood in His spirit that they were thinking like this within themselves and said to them, "Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up, pick up your mat, and walk'? But so you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins," He told the paralytic, "I tell you: get up, pick up your mat, and go home." Immediately he got up, picked up the mat, and went out in front of everyone. As a result, they were all astounded and gave glory to God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this! ""  SYMPATHY EMPATHY DARING DETERMINED How do we become an unconventional friend? #1: We have to have an INNOVATIVE FAITH "Faith unaccompanied by action was never alive." (David Jeremiah) A workless faith is a WORTHLESS faith. James 1:22-25 "But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his own face in a mirror. For he looks at himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom and perseveres in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but one who does good works — this person will be blessed in what he does."  If your walk does not match your talk, then stop talking! 1 John 3:16-18 "This is how we've come to understand and experience love: Christ sacrificed his life for us. This is why we ought to live sacrificially for our fellow believers, and not just be out for ourselves. If you see some brother or sister in need and have the means to do something about it but turn a cold shoulder and do nothing, what happens to God's love? It disappears. And you made it disappear."  #2: UNCONVENTIONAL MANEUVER Mark 2:4 "Since they were not able to bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof above where He was. And when they had broken through, they lowered the mat on which the paralytic was lying."  "A faith that does not demonstrate itself in action is not genuine"
Title: UNCONVENTIONAL CHOICE "God uses unlikely people, to accomplish unlikely tasks, in unconventional ways!" Are YOU His next UNCONVENTIONAL CHOICE? John 15:16. "You did not choose Me, but I chose you. I appointed you that you should go out and produce fruit and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you."  2 Timothy 2:20-23 "Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver bowls, but also those of wood and clay, some for honorable use, some for dishonorable. So if anyone purifies himself from anything dishonorable, he will be a special instrument, set apart, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work. Flee from youthful passions, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. But reject foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they breed quarrels."  Is there such a thing as an almost Christian? -Someone who is almost saved -almost living for Christ Almost will- not put you in right standing with God. Almost will- allow you to miss the greatest transformation of your life. Almost will-prevent you from being the Unconventional Choice that God desires to use. How to become an UNCONVENTIONAL CHOICE for God to use: #1: We SEPARATE ourselves. V. 21- "So if anyone purifies himself from anything dishonorable, he will be a special instrument, set apart, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work." Romans 16:17- "Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause dissensions and obstacles contrary to the doctrine you have learned. Avoid them,"  2 Timothy 3:1-5. "But know this: Difficult times will come in the last days. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, without love for what is good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to the form of godliness but denying its power. Avoid these people!"   Ephesians 5:11 "Don't participate in the fruitless works of darkness, but instead expose them."  How will the world know we are an unconventional choice for God, if we are no different than the world? #2: We GROW up V. 22 "Flee from youthful passions, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart."  1 Corinthians 13:11 "When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put aside childish things."  #3: IGNORE Ignorance V. 23 "But reject foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they breed quarrels."  "Ignore the stuff and ignore the people that does not benefit your qualifications."
Title: The "UN" factor Unconventional: not conforming to what is generally done. Unorthodox, irregular, uncommon Conventional: based on what is generally done or accepted. Normal, typical, tradition and common "UN" means NOT. What makes up an "UN" conventional follower of Jesus? #1: Someone who is UNABLE Matthew 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness because they will be filled. They recognize their inability to satisfy the spiritual hunger that God has placed inside of them, in and of their own doings. Romans 3:10 As it is written, there is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who seeks God. #2: Someone who is an UNHINDERED worshiper John 4:23-24 But an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. Yes, the Father wants such people to worship Him. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. An UNHINDERED worshiper enters the presence of God, by faith, and there praises and worships Him. 1 Timothy 2:8 "I want every man in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument." When a holy heart tells your holy hands to lift during UNHINDERED worship, it means that you are surrendering your will to God's ways. You are declaring that you are UNABLE!! Holy hands lifted means that you are embracing the assistance in which you are requesting. What hinders our worship? -unconfessed sin -having a problem with another brother or sister -worrying about who is watching you or what others might say #3: Someone who has an UNDEFILED heart How do you have an undefiled heart? -Repent of your sins -Ask God to change your heart, soften your heart, cleanse your heart Psalm 119:9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping your Word. Romans 12:2- Do not conform any longer to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. John 15- Jesus says to remain in Me.... #4: Someone who is UNWAVERING in their walk. 1 Corinthians 15:58 "Therefore my dear brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the Lord's work, knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." Galatians 5:1 "Christ has liberated us into Freedom. Therefore, stand firm and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery."

How Atrocities Are Pushing Dalits In Gujarat To Embrace A New Faith
The Una Road To Buddha: "The Una attack in 2016 was the last straw," says a Dalit whose 15-year-old son was killed in police firing in Thangadh town in 2012.
Darshan Desai	27 June 2018

Una Dalits converting to Buddhism
Darshan Desai	June 27, 2018 00:00 IST How Atrocities Are Pushing Dalits In Gujarat To Embrace A New Faith
Valjibhai Rathod, 43, and his family are bracing up to convert to Buddhism, and so are the Sumras and Parmars of Thangadh town of Gujarat's Surendranagar district. And they are not the only ones. Many more Dalits from their town will join them. Three Dalit boys were killed in police firing in this town in September 2012. Fighting a hopeless and losing battle for justice, Valjibhai and others, who had been demanding a memorial at the place where the three boys were killed, built a Baudh Vihar (Buddha temple) there with their own efforts in 2016—just two months after the Una horror in July, when a video of four young Dalit men being flogged and beaten by cow vigilantes in Una went viral, causing outrage across the country.
"The memory of the cold-blooded killing of my son was yet to fade when the Una incident happened," says Valjibhai, who lost his son 15-year-old son Mehul in the 2012 firing. "We were shocked by the flogging of the four young men and realised there was no point expecting to be treated like Hindus. We have no entry into temples, barbers will not cut our hair, we cannot participate in garba festivals, nobody wants to touch us. The Una attack was the last straw. When we are not considered Hindus and are being attacked for that reason, why should we stay in their fold? We decided to construct a Baudh Vihar with our own resources in Thangadh, at the same place where our sons were shot dead, so that we get a temple of our own and a memorial too. Embracing Buddhism is only a formality now and we will do it soon."
The Baudh Vihar in Thangadh is not the only one. Many more have been coming up across Gujarat, especially in the Saurashtra region where Una and Thangadh are located. "Erecting Baudh Vihars is the first angry reaction now as a kind of reply to the Hindus who kick them out of temples," says Keval Rathod, a Dalit activist from Una who is also a Gujarat High Court lawyer and takes up cases of atrocities on Dalits. With a mere three to four per cent conviction rate in Dalit atrocity cases in Gujarat, he admits there is little hope for justice. "Small wonder that attacks on Dalits and their constant humiliation at the hands of the upper castes have continued even after the Una incident. So the Baudh Vihars have become a place of solace," points out Keval, who converted to Buddhism after the Thangadh firing incident.
Conversion to Buddhism has been on the rise in Gujarat and activists involved in it claim some 8,000 to 10,000 people have become Buddhists after the Una incident. This includes the family of Balubhai Sarvaiya, whose four sons were flogged in July 2016, and 350 other families who converted on May 29 this year. The biggest conversion event had happened in Junagadh in 2013, months after the Thangadh incident, when 80,000 people converted to Buddhism, according to the details provided to the then district collector.
Blue Milestone
The Baudh Vihar in Thangadh
"The Una attack in 2016 was the last straw," says Valjibhai Rathod, a Dalit whose 15-year-old son was killed in police firing in Thangadh town in 2012.
"I mobilised a large number of people for the Junagadh event," says Keval. "It was an organised programme for which we put in huge efforts to get people, but the conversions happening since the Una incident have been largely self-inspired." Dhammachari Anand Shakya, who runs Triratna Baudh Mahasangh, concurs and says, "We converted some 200 families last year on October 14 at Nagpur, on the same day and at the same place where Babasaheb Ambedkar had embraced Buddhism. Many people came on their own and wanted to see the place where Babasaheb had converted." Arguing that disillusionment with Hinduism has been becoming more pronounced since the Una incident, the Budddhist monk adds, "I keep on getting calls to convert someone or the other almost every alternate day. The calls are from people who say there is no point being among those who don't consider them Hindus. They feel more and more frustrated when they see the growing atrocities against Dalits around them."
He is not wrong. According to data with the police, as many as 2,007 cases, including 42 cases of murder, 133 of rape and a large number concerning grievous injuries, were reported in 2016-17 (data till May 2017). And there is no let-up. The recent flogging and killing of a ragpicker in Rajkot was recorded on video, just like the atrocity in Una. Dalit leader and independent MLA Jignesh Mevani says the incidents are continuing with impunity because there is no fear of the law. "Why should Dalit atrocities continue unabated even after the Una incident? This is because the BJP government does not wish to put a stop to it, not only in Gujarat, but also in the rest of the country. They are allowing their toughies a free run," Mevani tells Outlook.
Pointing out that justice has not been done in Una, nor in Thangadh, where an inquiry commission report has been swept under the carpet, Mevani says, "The government tells us the report can't be made public because it could be a threat to the social fabric of the region. Was the incident itself not a threat? Three Dalits boys were killed in deliberate police firing for no reason, but this was not a threat since the Dalits are expected to be docile and not react. Almost no action has been taken against the culprits of Thangadh."
Valjibhai asks what kind of justice can be expected from a government that shields the culprits. Among the accused are four policemen, including two police inspectors and two constables. Three of them are out on bail, but are allegedly continuing on duty despite being accused of murder, while one is said to be absconding. A Special Investigation Team comprising three superintendents of police was formed to look into the Thangadh incident three months after the Una atrocity in 2016, but the inquiry is still on. "Nothing is going to come out of this," says Valjibhai. "This becomes clear from the fact that the police are not arresting Harikrishna Patel, the then superintendent of police in Jamnagar, who admitted to the SIT in our presence that he had indeed ordered the firing."
Of the four policemen accused in the Thangadh firing, three are out on bail and one is said to be absconding. An SIT inquiry has been going on since 2016.
Vashram Sarvaiya, a victim of the Una atrocity along with his three brothers, tells Outlook, "In our case, unlike in Thangadh, the chargesheet was indeed filed within the stipulated 90 day. Our case was also put up before a fast-track court a couple of months ago. But the sense of impunity among the culprits is still there. One of them, Kiransinh Rajput, attacked my youngest brother Ramesh while he was out on bail. We had gone to the town for some shopping to prepare for our conversion to Buddhism in May. Kiransinh threatened us with dire consequences if we embraced Buddhism. He was arrested again for this, but is now out on bail in this new case too. Now we plan to set up a Baudh Vihar exactly at the same place where the vigilantes had thrashed us for skinning a dead cow." Clearly, anger over the Una incident is still raw in the minds of Gujarat's Dalits, but the state government has been doing little to address it.

Putting the cart before the horse
by Gar Cole
My last blog ended with my Princess about to have yet more money spent on it. After a disastrous xmas period where the repaired suspension collapsed a further 3 times I decided to cut my losses after sinking over £2500 into the car and sold it to a fellow Princess enthusiast with more patience and deeper pockets than I have.
In the previous summer I had been given a 1959 classic caravan by my brothers 'father in law'. It is a charming and ridiculous 8ft long by 5ft wide, made by L & R Fisher this Holivan Junior was designed to be pulled by sub 1.3 cars of the era such as a Minor or A35 , weighing in at a featherweight 260kgs, it had been stored in a barn since 1985, it was in need of restoration even then but being stored for the last 30 years in the dry saved what was left of it, being a typical car hoarder now downsizing his collection the caravan and several cars went to new homes after never being 'gotten around to '.
I am in the process of fully renovating the caravan and plan to debut it at the Gloucester steam rally in August, question was what car would I get to pull it to shows?
Around October last year a friend mentioned he knew of a Moggy 4 door for sale by someone in the owners club, it wasn't perfect but a good car, arrangements were made and I went to see it, first glance he looked great, but on closer inspection every panel told the story of the last 50 years, a collection of rust bubbles, peeled lacquer, stone chips, moisture spots in parts that had been touched up over the years, perfectly described by Mike Peake as 'Gloriously Shabby' at a later group show.
However things vastly improved on the inside which is in very nice condition , it had been updated over the years with a heater from a classic mini installed, mini 2 speed wipers and heated rear window conversion plus seat belts front and back, a big wad of receipts for mechanical work carried out including the infamous 'trunnions' , he also had a full mot and drove spot on during the test drive, instantly charmed by this little car as have many others been before by its brethren I asked what he wanted for it, he showed me a valuation by his insurance for £2500 and indicated he was looking for close to that figure.
I felt this was a little high given the paint finish and asked him why he was selling it after spending so much on the oily bits, it seems he was in the army and was about to be deployed for another 6 months and has nowhere to store it and he didn't want to leave it out in the elements on what was a fairly rough housing estate, I put on my best sad face and said I couldn't afford 2.5K but if it was mine I'd properly care for it and take it to shows all year round while slowly restoring it one part at a time, I had £1100 in my savings account which is meant to be used for repairs on my 2 taxis as and when faults occur, so I offered that amount, he took my hand and shook it, with myself fully expecting him to wish me a good day and safe trip home, instead he said ' ok it's yours for £1100 if you promise to care for it'.
( Cue jaw on the floor moment )
Driving home the 60 miles from Aylesbury to Sutton Coldfield I couldn't believe my luck, yes it wasn't perfect but it was a decent car for little cash and after the money pit that was the Princess I looked forward to some low cost classic motoring, however..............
I didn't drive it myself on the test drive and was happy to be a passenger, however a few days after getting it home and sorting out insurance I looked forward to my first drive, opened the door and managed to get 1 leg and buttock in the car before I became stuck between the door frame and the original 18" steering wheel, imagine a Sardine trying to get back inside it's tin and you have the right mental image. Mortified I quietly ordered a nice 15" aftermarket steering wheel as an xmas present to myself and abandoned the test drive.
A few days after new year I fitted my shiny new (and smaller) 15in wheel and it's adaptor boss kit, it looked fab, I climbed in and arghhhhhh, despite it being 3 inches smaller it was a thicker rim and the boss adaptor brought it higher and closer that I'd imagined, the wheel now jabbed into my chest just under the rib cage, neatly making breathing difficult and controlling the car almost impossible, being a larger chap who had always fitted in modern small cars I never even gave a thought to not fitting in a classic small car, I swallowed my pride and carefully trawled the Internet until I found the smallest wheel I could find, an 11" Mountney wheel made for a ............. Go Kart.
Stop that sniggering at the back, at least I could fit in now and enjoy my first test drive which also happened to be my 40th birthday weekend shared with friends from our group, despite 'Nelsons' rough appearance every one had positive comments to give and made him star of the day at the Vulcan trust we visited, the car drove great but I could tell it needed some work doing which I'll cover next time if you're all interested 😀

With its extensive library of promo photos from major news events and exotic locations around the world, Getty Images could one day become a force on social media. That day may, in fact, come sooner than later.
The company on Monday launched something called "The Feed by Getty Images," which essentially piggybacks off Twitter's API to identify trending topics on social media then push out Getty photos that match those conversations. For major news, sports and entertainment in particular, this could launch a much more powerful presence for and greater awareness of Getty on social media.
Getty produces more than 10,000 images per day and many of the best ones will find their way to Getty's various Facebook pages, the @FeedMeGetty Twitter handle and a gateway page at thefeed.gettyimages.com. On Twitter for example, the company will post images of trending topics each hour, then increase that output when major news breaks or big events take place. On The Feed website, meanwhile, users will also be able to look at photos of trending topics sorted by region.
Yvonne Chien, the company's senior vice president of marketing, says the move's goals are twofold — to drive more Getty subscriptions and image purchases, as well as elevate the brand's profile and visibility with normal Internet surfers simply hungry for visual content to look at.
"There is undoubtedly a desire from both business customers and consumers alike to see the newest and most exciting images," Chen told Mashable in an email. "The Feed was built to open up ways for Getty Images' content to be showcased through today's top social media networks, enable real-time engagement and create new experiences. We looked to see whether other visual content providers had this type of capability, automatically populating their content into social media using trending algorithms, and did not see any similar brands doing this anywhere else."
Chen says the project has been in the works for four months, and that it will likely soon expand to include video and additional social platforms.
