1986 Hyundai Pony "Magnifique Hyundai Pony"
There's a pretty good chance that you will never see one of these on the road. Certainly, you will never see one as nice as this one.
The Pony was the first car Hyundai sold in North America. In this case, North America meant Canada. Unable to pass the U.S. emissions standards, it was never sold here.
Hyundai starting building cars in 1967. They were building a Ford Cortina under license. In the early seventies they wanted something of their own. They hired George Turnbull, former managing director at British Leyland to create it. He in turn brought along some of British Leyland's top engineers. The chassis is loosely based on the Morris Marina. Some of the suspension parts came from the Cortina they were already building. The engine was from Mitsubishi. The body was designed by Italdesign Giugiaro S.p.A. It was introduced to the Korean market in 1975.
In 1982 the Pony got a bit of a facelift, making it look slightly more modern. Hyundai started exporting the car to Canada in 1984. It was a huge success. Hyundai expected to sell 5,000 cars in Canada in 1984. They wound up selling over 25,000.
The Canadians weren't buying this car for its technology or performance, however. They bought it for its price. At $5,795 (Canadian), it was considerably less expensive than the Japanese imports and only slightly more than a Lada.
But, as in most cases, you get what you pay for. The Pony was slow, crude, not very well screwed together and rusted horribly.
That's what makes this car so interesting... It's in remarkable condition.
This Pony is being offered by a dealer in Brossard, Quebec, Canada. They don't give us a lot of information about it. It has just 22,028 Km (13,687 miles) on it. It looks like what I assume a new Pony looked like. (The seller calls it a "Magnifique Hyundai Pony," which sounds so much better than any way we could describe it in English.)
Ah, but the price... The dealer is asking $14,995 (Canadian). That's about $11,500.00 US. No matter what currency you're using, that's a lot of money for this car.
So why would anyone buy this car? History, that's all. Hyundai followed up the Pony with the marginally better FWD Excel, which was the first Hyundai sold in the U.S.. Now, of course, they are a huge player in the North American market. They offer everything from cheap entry level cars to expensive luxury sedans. Whether any of this would have happened had the Pony been a flop is questionable.
This is not something I desire to own. But, if you are a Hyundai collector / aficionado - with a lot of cash - this may be for you.

Joe Fitzpatrick loves stories! He loves to hear them, see them, live them, think them up in his head, tell them to others, and (occasionally) write them down. When he writes them down and other people see them, read them, share them, tell them to others, twist them around and make them their own, it makes him happy. So he hopes you enjoy his stories, and he hopes you share them with others, because stories are more fun when they're shared!
John Joseph's passion for art appeared at an early age, while living in Orlando, Florida. As a young boy, he was inspired by the many trips to visit the animation studios just down the road at the happiest place on Earth. It was very rare that you would spot him without a pencil and sketchbook, creating stories and drawing away. John Joseph's love of art continued through school and he went on to get an art education degree from Colorado State University and a masters degree from Lesley University. You could say that John has never really left school, as he graduated and went straight back to elementary school to teach visual arts. There, he is constantly inspired by the imagination of his students, and often includes them in his stories and illustrations. But the best part is, he has several months off throughout the year, to play with his family in the Colorado mountains and create lots of art!

Coals to Newcastle: A Warning to Both Trump & Clinton
In the U.K., a sculpture of a miner with his heart torn out:
Like politicians, language sometimes fails to keep pace with the times. Consider the phrase "Taking coals to Newcastle," dating back five centuries to the days when Newcastle, England was coal capital of the world. The adage came to represent the absurdity of bringing something -- in this instance, coal -- to a place where it was already in abundance. The phrase endures, though there are no more such mines in England, and Newcastle, humbled by history, is now a port where foreign coal is off-loaded by the ton.
But in this political season, and particularly in the aftermath of the recent West Virginia Primary, the phrase and its backstory have a special resonance for the presumptive candidates, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. For Trump, who imagines he can easily unwind time, bring back the shrinking coal industry, and restore America's preeminence as a manufacturing center, Newcastle may stand as a stubborn reminder that history has no reverse gear. For Clinton, it is a warning that her trademark bluntness - as when she said that the days of the coal industry were numbered - could and probably did cost her dearly. In sum, Trump has a fine ear for telling people what they want to hear, no matter how nonsensical, while Clinton can be politically tone-deaf.
A word of background: A century ago, the UK had 2,600 deep mines producing 207 million tons a year. In December of last year, the last mine closed. Miners wept. A parade featured a black-robed figure of death carrying a scythe. They must have seen it coming. By the mid-1980's, the industry was moribund. Margaret Thatcher, facing striking miners, broke the unions' back. But that confrontation reflected a changing global economy as well, and a realization that the industry was facing perils well beyond politics. In today's global economy, it cannot compete with coal from Russia, Columbia, Australia - and the US.
For Trump, with his constant berating of existing trade deals and his castigation of foreign subsidies and tariffs, the culprit is always identifiable, the solution, obvious: stand firm against other nation's anti-competitive behavior and we will reassume our rightful place as the world's manufacturing center. Whether it is coal, clothing, toys or beef, his simplistic formulas suggest that, freed from foreign impediments or pesky regulations, America will once again realize its manufacturing supremacy and its destiny. Lost jobs will return. American workers will be respected. The middle class will rise again. "We're going to get those miners back to work," he said. " ... the miners of West Virginia and Pennsylvania, ...Ohio and all over are going to start to work again, believe me. They are going to be proud again to be miners."
Such simple prescriptions, pure snake oil, are the basis for Trump's appeal to "Make America Great Again." But that boat has already set sail - literally. Cheaper and cleaner natural gas, concerns over climate change, the lower cost of overseas extraction and labor, the absence of safety and environmental regulations abroad - and history itself - are all arrayed against the miners. So it is with any number of industries. Denying globalism or climate change may be an effective campaign tool to rouse a disaffected base, but is it is also a cruel form of exploitation, patronizing as it is simplistic. It is also grossly irresponsible, raising false hopes and removing incentives to plan for a changed future. No one knows this better than Donald Trump, the businessman, who routinely exploits cheap foreign labor for personal gain.
Trump is either schizophrenic or cynical in the extreme. His appeals to defy globalism and his suggestion that its casualties are solely the result of dim-witted and out-maneuvered bureaucrats, plays well in a country reeling from economic upheaval and eager to find a scapegoat. But it does not address the underlying realities. No one in Newcastle today suggests that the coal industry could be resuscitated with tougher trade talks. Last year, not coincidentally, renewable energy, for the first time, provided more electricity to the UK than coal. But a prideful Trump is a modern day King Canute, who imagines that he can command the tides to retreat. Besides, if he is wrong, he can always just walk away from the wreckage, as he has made a habit of doing with serial bankruptcies, divorces, and lost business wagers.
For Hillary, the lesson of "Coals to Newcastle" is different. In March, she told an audience in Ohio that "we are going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business." She attempted to walk back that apocalyptic warning, and to contextualize it, but her words demonstrated an utter lack of sensitivity, remarkable for America's former diplomat-in-chief. It also cast light on a personality flaw that, at times, borders on the political equivalent of Asperger's - a failure to read the most basic social cues.
It was not merely a gaffe but a revelation of how little she understands the impact of her words and deeds. Consider the optics of her private email server while at the State Department or her obscene speaking fees from Goldman Sachs. Or her statement in 2014 that she and Bill were "dead broke" when leaving the White House, struggling to pay the mortgages on their homes - plural (a $1.7 million New York house, a $2.85 million seven-bedroom manse in Washington, D.C.) In each case, she appeared mystified by the resultant uproar, blinded by privilege and a sense of her own virtue.
A few months in northeastern England, as in West Virginia, would show her that coal is more than the black bituminous and anthracite scraped from deep inside the earth. I have spent months in both England's County Durham and in Logan County, West Virginia, epicenters of coal country. In Logan County, I went a mile inside a mountain, lying on my back as I hurdled on a tiny sled through the dark of a low-seam coal mine. Hours after exiting I discovered the coal had penetrated my clothing, and filled my nostrils. But over generations, coal also seeps deep into the pores of a culture.
In advertently declaring war on the miners themselves, Clinton threatened to take away not only their livelihoods, but also the character and identity of entire communities. There, King Coal is inextricably linked to notions of self-worth, manliness, and independence, not to mention the music, dance, stories and faith of the region. To understand how deeply Clinton's threat struck, one might visit Beamish, an open air museum depicting English life in the 19th and early 20th Century, in the Vale of Durham ten miles south of Newcastle. One of the most popular sites is the Mahogany Drift Mine that closed in 1958 but which is a featured attraction. There, former miners guide countless visitors - hundreds of thousands annually -- through its twisting tunnels. It is where the children and grandchildren meet their heritage. For many, it is more pilgrimage than museum.
And each July, twenty miles south of Newcastle in Durham city, some 150,000 people gather to observe the Miners' Gala, an outpouring celebrating the culture of coal that is no more.
But for many former miners, the future remains bleak. Some are in "council housing" - public housing -- some have been forced to take menial jobs, others have been unable to find work at all. Decades later, stripped of work and identity, some are like walking ghosts, their guildhalls vacant, their statues of pitmen adorning parks and town squares. (One such statue shows a miner, his chest ruptured where his heart has been torn out.)
Clinton's words conjured up just such a vision for America's miners. The inevitability of their fate has already begun to unfold. Twenty-five years ago, one in 14 jobs in West Virginia were in coal mining. Today it's one in twenty-eight. But to be told, almost gleefully, that the remaining workers also face extinction -- casualties of clean energy policies - reflects as much on the callousness of the candidate as on the dire future that awaits.
The cruelty of Trump's glib promises that he can single-handedly "Make America Great Again," ignore economic realities. The certitude of Clinton's manner gives short shrift to human casualties. "Coals to Newcastle" once represented an assumption that history was predictable, prosperity secure. It implicitly derided those irrational enough to challenge such economic hegemony. Now the phrase is but a verbal artifact, a token of discredited wisdom, and a measure of just how swift and complete the reversal of fortune can be.
Still, it might profit the candidates to consider the phrase and draw what lessons they see fit. Trump, a cartoonish figure, has drawn a cartoonish world of hapless and perfidious politicians at home, and villainous leaders abroad. It is not imagination, but fantasy that he peddles as he panders to those most vulnerable and resentful. A Pied Piper of impossible promises, he offers to lead them to a place that does not exist - the past. For her part, Clinton, scarcely less prideful than her opponent, offers a sometimes-brutish form of determinism that threatens to crush as it elevates. Words matter. Perceptions matter. It is not the "vast right-wing conspiracy" that now threatens to ensnare her, but her own sense of rectitude, and her peculiar brand of noblesse oblige, gilded with entitlement. But offering advice to politicians is, well, like taking coals to Newcastle.

Abstract:Objective: The objective of this study is to know the diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the soil sites adjacent to Khouribga phosphate mines (Morocco)\nMethods: Soil samples were collected from two localities, Hattaneand Merah Lahrach, in Khouribga Region (Morocco) nearby two operated sites of phosphates extraction. Five samples were randomly taken from the surface horizon (0-20 cm) for each locality and a composite soil sample of 2 Kg was made for each site. Physicochemical soil analyzes were realized and the wet sieving method was used to highlight spores. The identification of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi was based on the morphological characters of the isolated spores from soil.\nResults: This study revealed the presence of a variety of endomycorrhizal fungi at sites adjacent to Khouribga phosphate mines (Morocco). 70 species of endomycorrhizal fungi belonging to 8 families (Glomaceae, Gigasporaceae, and Acaulosporaceae, Diversisporaceae, Pacisporaceae, Dentiscutataceae, Scutellosporaceae, Entrophosporaceae) and 3 orders (Glomerales, Gigasporales, Diversisporales) were found at the sites of Hattane and Merah Lahrach. The spore density is respectively 100 and 40 spores / 100 g of soil. Glomus, Acaulospora, and Gigaspora are the most dominant genera, while Scutellospora, Entrophospora, Funneliformis, Pacispora, Dentiscutata and Rhizophagus are the least represented genera.\nConclusion: This study has shown the richness of soils adjacent to mining sites on endomycorrhizal fungi. It would be interesting to exploit them in the development of a composite endomycorrhizal inoculum to be incorporated into a phospho-compost based on phosphate wastes and organic residues.
Abstract:The article presents a comprehensive analysis of the current state of the Russian Federation's regions in terms of the created conditions for cooperation between research teams and the commercialization of scientists' results of intellectual activity. The authors made an analysis of the estimated indicators, as well as the calculation of the integral index characterizing the given indicators. Case studies of the most developed regions are presented. The resulting conclusions can be the basis for the development of a regional environment that promotes scientific activity.
Abstract:Pancreas is a key organ in metabolic activities including insulin signaling and lipid homeostasis. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), derived from exocrine part of the pancreas, is a devastating disease that ranks the fourth place in cancer mortality. Type 2 diabetes and obesity are determined risk factors that contribute to PDAC onset. INSIG1 is a well-identified gene involved in the onset of diabetes and obesity. Therefore, we aimed to identify variants of this gene in PANC-1 cell line to serve for future in vitro modeling studies of PDAC and metabolic disorders. In this respect, PANC-1 cells were subcultured followed by DNA isolation. All exons, exon-intron boundaries and untranslated regions of INSIG1 were PCR amplified, followed by Sanger sequencing that revealed 5 heterozygous variants from non-coding regions. Among these variants, 2 were novel (NM_005542.5:c.805-16delT and NM_005542.5:c.*2035G>A) and the remaining (NM_005542.5:c.-353T>C; NM_005542.5:c.804+37G>T; NM_005542.5:c.*2010G>T) were reported as common single nucleotide variations in conventional genetic databases. Our findings serve crucial information for future research of PANC-1 use in in vitro modeling, since recent research implicate the role of intronic and intergenic variants in the regulation of alternative splicing, gene expression and drug responses.
Abstract:The following research presents a diagnosis of Internet use and hospitality in the hotels of old road of Estrada Real in the coverage the cities of Ouro Preto (Minas Gerais) to Paraty (Rio de Janeiro). The differences between them are of competitiveness since they affect the number of reservations in these hotels. A multiple case study was carried out involving 17 hotels from 7 cities in this way, performing semi-structured interviews, observation of processes, documentary analysis and the collection of data adopted in the formulation of this research. The interviewees were the managers and owners of the hotel units. The research shows the significant growth of Internet use in the hotels surveyed, the functions of websites and the business opportunities that have arisen and the increase in competitiveness. It also shows that the sector is increasingly integrated into the virtual world process, achieving success with customers.
Abstract:Interior design choices of gastronomy venues bear the traces of brand and branding. This study investigates the restaurant and cafe industry, due to the fast consumption of designed spaces in this industry. Interior design changes and renovation must take place for the businesses to survive and stay up to date. It examines how the gastronomy venues change in parallel to their geographical locations; and how they become standardised in locations with common characteristics investigated in this study. Furthermore, without following any standardisation process, how standardisation criteria and standardisation value are formed were also discussed in this study through a case study. It is evident from regular interior design changes and renovations that the venue itself also becomes a fast-produced and fast-consumed concept. The main objectives of the study are to identify stages of design of these venues which carry the traces of the brand itself and the hints of branding and to investigate the impact value of the established organisation strategies. Eziç Restaurant which makes economic investments and established a holistic perspective was chosen as the establishment to analyse in this study. It became a chain gastronomy venue that developed itself in such matters as; venue and service design, brand and branding.
Abstract:Analysing the philosophical background of Adolf Loos's and Frank Lloyd Wright's designs, who are accepted as two of the most important architects of the Modern Era, would provide the grounds to clearly establish and contribute to some of the arguments of modern architecture. Thus, this research analyses the interior-exterior relationship in Adolf Loos's and Frank Lloyd Wright's building constructs with a focus on Adolf Loos's and Frank Lloyd Wright's building design perceptions, building construction methods and interior-exterior unity. Within this context, Adolf Loos's "Steiner House" and Frank Lloyd Wright's "Fallingwater House" are discussed and analysed in terms of plan, sections and three-dimensional characteristics. The analysis is carried out based on architects' approaches in applying open-planorganisation, the identities of the buildings, their characteristics, functionalities,and space creation processes. The findings suggest that two architects, who created many architectural works during the same period, have different perspectives on building design. Within this context, Loos's design suggests buildings are supposed to be detached from the outside with an introvert design, with its self-contained privacy. On the other hand, Wright's perception is just the opposite of Loos, where his designs are extrovert, in contact with its surroundings and have interconnecting spaces within the same building. These findings are supported by Wright's and Loos's selected designs.
Abstract:Background/Aims: Hepatitis C is not only a disease of the liver, but may also occur with many other diseases. Extrahepatic organ and tissues may be involved through different immunologic mechanisms. \nMethods: Totally 99 patients with Hepatitis C positive for anti-HCV by ELISA and for HCV-RNA by RT-PCR, were enrolled into the study. Anti-nuclear antibody (ANA), anti-smooth muscle antibody (ASMA), anti-mitochondrial antibody, liver-kidney microsomal antibody-1 (LKM-1), anti-double stranded DNA, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA), anti-endomysial antibody, anti-reticulin antibody were studied by indirect immunofluorescence, soluble liver antigen , anti-liver cytosolic antigen type 1, anti-mitochondrial antibody of M2 and anti-extractable nuclear antigens including Sm, RNP/Sm, Scl-70, SS-A, SS-B, Jo-1 were investigated by immunoblotting.\nResults: Nineteen chronic Hepatitis C patients were positive for ANCA (33%), 13 for ENA (23%), 14 for ASMA (24.5%), 6 for GPCA (10.5%), 3 for ANA, one each for AMA and LKM-1. GPCA, ASMA, ANA were more frequently in females, but ANCA and double antibody positivities were similar in both genders. No difference was found in autoantibody positivity related to age and genotype in groups.\nConclusion: Antibody positivity was high in Hepatitis C, this finding was not considered as a presence of autoimmune disease, but interpreted simply as serum antibody positivities.
Abstract:In recent years, shooting games and VR contents have been increasing, which needs to simulate as real as possible that certainly can boost immersion. The latest FPS genre offers a variety of guns and bullets. However the gunshot wounds in graphics seem less realistic because they use stereotyped images of guns. The marks of the target\'s bullet should be differently observed and represented according to the features of the rifles and bullets. Therefore, we propose a method to synthesize a 3D bullet shape, based on terminal ballistic technology that considers wound ballistics rather than stereotyped images of a gun and bullet. To solve this, we design the cavity featured by ballistic coefficients using modified Bresenham's line algorithm and 3d spline.
Abstract:El artículo analiza la rearticulación del tiempo social moderno en el contexto de las transformaciones tecnológicos de las últimas décadas. Parte de la hipótesis de que el tiempo social moderno no fue capaz de imponerse plenamente, dando lugar a la clásica escisión entre lo que se ha denominado tiempo subjetivo y objetivo, siendo el primero un resto "natural" analógico del tiempo social premoderno, cuya representación habría dominado incluso en la forma de exponer el llamado tiempo objetivo, plasmado en la filosofía de la historia moderna como relato analógico del modo de producción capitalista y de la ciencia. La tecnología digital habría establecido las condiciones para suturar esa escisión e imponer finalmente un nuevo tiempo social que abandona los restos naturales y analógicos, generando una rearticulación que quedaría plasmada de forma eminente en dispositivos como las redes sociales.


July 20, 2015, Maui, Hawaii—It was a great Sunday for the 85 contestants paddling across the Pailolo channel from Maui to Molokai this weekend and Team Naish walked away with some big wins all on new Naish Javelin Maliko racing boards! In the 14 foot class, Kody Kerbox took first and Ethan Koopmans took third place, while Naish's youngest new team rider, Annie Reickert, took first place in the three-person relay.
This long distance downwind race is 27 grueling miles across the middle of the ocean. All athletes paddled pretty close together at the start of the race until they reached the channel, where strong currents eventually spread racers out, forcing them to take different lines across the ocean.
For 18-year-old Ethan Koopmans, this was his first channel crossing and the longest race he's ever done. As Ethan explains, "Once I reached Molokai, the wind and waves lined up perfectly, letting me catch glide after glide for a good 45 minutes." Meanwhile, Kody was on the heels of another contestant, who was riding a 17-foot board. Suddenly, the 17-footer was caught in the wind, casting its rider to the ocean and flying past Kody. Acting quickly, Kody managed to turn upwind, grab the rogue board, paddle it back downwind to his competitor and keep the lead for himself.
After an extremely windy channel crossing, with three to four miles left in the race, the wind completely died, making for a grueling, flatwater paddle to the finish line. In the end, after the final results were given, racers exchanged stories of wildlife they saw along the way—including dolphins, flying fish, and mantarays—and Kody shared his story of how he was almost taken out by a 17-foot board. Congrats to Kody, Ethan, and Annie! Stay tuned for the Molokai to Oahu race next weekend.

A recent makeover of the Beerwah Aquatic Centre means swimmers will enjoy the benefits of sparkling clear water and improved safety this summer season and beyond.
Division 1 Councillor Rick Baberowski said the Beerwah Aquatic Centre undertook a valuable upgrade as part of Sunshine Coast Council's ongoing commitment to providing quality community recreation venues.
"Just in time for the busy summer season, the entire 25m pool has been tiled, which is a significant improvement as it means the pool shell now has an expected 30 year low maintenance future instead of needing to close and drain the pool and repaint the surface every couple of years," he said.
"This facility is an active healthy lifestyle option for Beerwah residents and an important community meeting place.
Cr Baberowski said swimmers will also benefit from the safety features including new finger grip tiles when they hold onto the edge of the pool.
"The tumble turn area at the end of each lane is also now non-slip providing benefits for those involved in squad training and competition," he said.
The Beerwah Aquatic Centre is open through summer Monday to Friday from 5.30am to 6pm, Saturday 9am to 5pm and Sunday from 10am to 2pm. Located on Roberts Road, Beerwah, the centre contains a heated teaching pool, a heated outdoor 25 metre pool, and a fun toddler's pool and specialises in Learn to Swim programs for infants to mini squads, competitive swimming squads, adult squads and stroke development lessons for adults.

"Generally a conductor who is good at Shostakovich has a fair chance of being good at Mahler, and Mark Wigglesworth is quite good at Shostakovich. Therefore, I turned to this Mahler Tenth, which sells for pennies on the used market. It was made in concert in 1993 when the conductor was only 29. An ambitious undertaking, and it turns out to be an assured reading with no gaffes and nicely handled orchestral execution form the BBC's orchestra in Wales. Provincial German orchestras are often much better than expected, and that's turning out to be true of those in the UK as well. Mahler is by no means beyond them.
The best thing here is Wigglesworth's passionate, even harrowing reading of the opening Adagio. If the rest of the performance had kept pace, this would have been an outstanding Cd. As it is, the middle three movements wander a bit, and the enigmatic finale, although better, doesn't find the kind of advocacy it needs to surmount long bare stretches -- Mahler left this movement in the thinnest condition of the five. Simon Rattle and Riccardo Chailly are helped in their recordings of the Tenth by virtuosic execution, papering over rough patches with outstanding solo work.
In all, this is a Tenth very much worth hearing, and Wigglesworth has gone on to gain a reputation. But I'll stick with Rattle, Chailly, and Ormandy in the Deryck Cooke performing edition."

European regulators are not happy with the way Google has handled the controversial "right to be forgotten" ruling.
In May, the European Court of Justice ruled that citizens had a right to ask search engines to have links to outdated, irrelevant or misleading information about them removed. Since then, Google has complied with the ruling creating a web form to request a link removal and trying to draw as much public attention to the issue as possible, even publicly criticizing the ruling.
On Thursday, Cristopher Graham, Britain's Information Commissioner, said that he expects a "tsunami" of requests. And referring to Google, added that "the polluter pays, the polluter should clear up."
"Google is a massive commercial organization making millions and millions out of processing people's personal information," he said during a radio interview. "They're going to have to do some tidying up."
Graham disagreed with those critics, who say the right to be forgotten is a way of censoring history.
"All this talk about rewriting history and airbrushing embarrassing bits from your past — this is nonsense, that's not going to happen," he said.
Apart from creating a removal request form, Google has also been notifying media organizations whose articles were being removed, like the BBC, or the Guardian. The notification process has led many news organizations to highlight the removals, which somehow ends up defeating the purpose of the ruling, according to some critics.
All this transparency brings more attention to the information that individuals want removed, argued Billy Hawkes, the Irish Data Protection Commissioner.
"The more they do so, it means the media organization republishes the information and so much for the right to be forgotten," Hawkes told Businessweek. "There is an issue there."
Google, Microsoft and Yahoo were scheduled to meet with Europan regulators in Brussels o Thursday to discuss the aftermath of the ruling and the actions taken to implement it. The meeting is with a group of data commissioners from across Europe, known as the Article 29 Working Party.
Google declined to comment on the meeting, referring us to its recent blog post on the right to be forgotten.

Главная/breaking news/Argentina running out of space to store banknotes – Bloomberg — RT Business News
Banks in Argentina are suffering from a shortage of space to store the quickly depreciating national currency banknotes, Bloomberg reported, citing sources in the banking industry.
According to the report, Banco Galicia and the local unit of Spain's Banco Santander have been forced to install additional vaults to store peso bills. Banco Galicia has already added eight vaults for cash storage over the past year to the two it had since 2019, and reportedly plans to set up two more in the coming months.
Argentina, which boasts the second biggest economy in South America after Brazil, has been plagued by economic instability for decades but the situation has worsened in recent years. The country has once again defaulted on its debt in 2020, and has had to resort to capital controls to protect its currency. Inflation is currently approaching 100%, while Buenos Aires also owes roughly $40 billion to the IMF.
Argentina's largest denomination banknote – 1,000 pesos – is currently worth around $5.40 on official exchanges, but barely reached $2.65 when valued at informal exchange rates last week. Amid the surge in prices, Argentinians have been forced to carry hundreds of banknotes to pay for ordinary purchases, with transactions becoming increasingly difficult due to the need to use a greater number of bills.
Since 2019, the amount of money in public circulation in the South American state has soared from 895 billion to 3.8 trillion pesos, according to the Central Bank. The country's banks and business groups have been calling on the regulator to print higher-value bills for years, saying it would make the system more efficient for banks, businesses and citizens.
"Transporting, mobilizing and withdrawing a greater number of bills every time increasingly provokes unsafe situations beyond creating complications and expenses," Fabian Castillo, head of the Federation of Commerce and Industry of Buenos Aries (FECOBA) said in a statement earlier this month.
The president of the Argentine Chamber of Commerce and Services (CAC), Mario Grinman, also stressed that there should be at least 5,000 peso bills.
"Since its appearance in November 2017, the 1,000 pesos has lost almost 100% of its purchasing power. In 2017 it covered almost half of the basic basket and today it does not reach 6%. Today to go to the supermarket you have to carry a bag of banknotes. Logistically it is a disaster," he told news outlet La Nacion.
However, the central bank said last week that no announcement was expected on larger-denomination bills and declined to comment on the requests for them.

Scott Kazmir allows 5 runs on 13 hits in 5 innings, but Cleveland Indians beat Seattle, 10-5
Updated: Jan. 12, 2019, 7:52 a.m. | Published: Mar. 23, 2013, 11:48 p.m.
Scott Kazmir gives up five runs on 13 hits in five innings against Seattle, but staggers to a 10-5 victory. Will it be enough to earn him the fifth spot in the rotation?
By Paul Hoynes, cleveland.com
PEORIA, Ariz. -- Left-hander Scott Kazmir, pitching for a spot in the rotation, had a tough go of it Saturday as he allowed five runs on 13 hits in five innings in the Indians 10-5 victory over Seattle at Peoria Sports Complex.
Kazmir, competing with Carlos Carrasco for the final starter's job in the Indians' rotation, gave up four straight hits and two runs to start the game. He retired the next three batters and pitched scoreless ball for the next three innings before faltering again in the fifth when he allowed three runs on four hits, including a two-run homer by Raul Ibanez.
Seattle led 5-4 after the fifth, but the Indians scored five runs in the sixth to take control of the game. The Tribe's prospects did most of the damage as Jose Ramirez doubled home Lou Marson and Tyler Naquin, the Tribe's No.1 pick last year, hit a two-run double off third baseman Brad Miller's glove to Francisco Lindor and Ramirez.
Ezequiel Carrera singled home Naquin, stole second and scored on Jordan Henry's bloop single for a 9-5 lead. It was Carrera's second steal of the game and 11th of the spring.
Consecutive homers by Cord Phelps and Jason Giambi off starter Blake Beavan gave the Indians a 3-2 lead in the third. Phelps' homer was a two-run shot following a single by Mike Aviles. Phelps and Giambi have three homers each.
Aviles stretched the lead to 4-2 in the fifth when he scored on a wild pitch. He singled, stole second, took third on catcher Michael Dowd's throwing error.
The Indians added a run in the ninth on Lindor's triple. Lindor, the Indians' No.1 pick in 2011, started at shortstop and went 3-for-5 with an RBI.
There were two injuries in the game.
Lindor hit Seattle catcher Jesus Montero in the head with his back swing in the second. Montero left the game with an egg-sized bump above his forehead.
In the fifth, Indians right fielder Matt Carson left the game after skidding into the wall head first chasing a triple by Kyle Seager. Carson suffered a cut on his forehead and a sprained neck.
The Indians are 16-10-2 in Cactus League play.

Collagen is an abundant structural protein that occurs naturally in the human body; it has several important functions and is essential for optimal health. Think of collagen as the "glue" that holds you together and gives your tissues integrity, strength, and elasticity.
Type 1 collagen makes up about 80-90% of the collagen found in the human body. The long, tightly packed collagen fibers in type 1 form a matrix that's flexible yet unbreakable. It's vital for providing structure, strength, and elasticity to your skin, tendons, muscles, organs, blood vessels, bones, and even the cornea of your eyes.
Type 1 collagen is probably most well-known for its skin health benefits. It makes up roughly 90% of collagen in the skin and is necessary for a supple, hydrated, and youthful appearance.
Type 2 collagen fibers are the main component of joint cartilage. It forms about 90% of healthy articular cartilage, which creates a smooth sliding surface to protect the ends of the bones from grinding against each other.
The fibers in type 2 are shorter than in type 1, giving it shock-absorbing properties that cushion joints and keep them flexible. Undenatured collagen type 2 can be found in our T2NDC® supplements, which have been expertly developed to reduce joint degeneration and painful arthritis.
Type 3 collagen is the 2nd most abundant form of collagen in the body. These densely packed fibers work in conjunction with type 1 collagen to give firmness and elasticity to skin, muscles, lung tissue, the uterus, and the digestive tract.
Type 4 collagen is a little different from other forms of collagen as it's a sheet-like protein. It makes up the basal lamina – a thin, cushion-like layer of fluid that's a vital part of the endothelial cells that surround and protect muscles, digestive organs, respiratory organs, blood vessels, and fat cells.
Type 5 collagen consists of very long, thin fibers that work in conjunction with collagen types 1 and 3 to support healthy skin, eyes, and hair. It's also essential for proper fetal development as it strengthens the placental tissue responsible for providing nutrients and oxygen to a baby in utero.
Undenatured Collagen vs Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides
As evidence of the health benefits of collagen mounts, collagen supplements are growing in popularity. There are two forms of supplemental collagen with different mechanisms of action: Undenatured/Native Collagen and Hydrolyzed Collagen.
So what's the difference?
Undenatured collagen is that native form of collagen that's carefully extracted from chicken cartilage to retain its bioactive triple helix. It's this helical structure that supports joint health and flexibility. By introducing it to the body in small doses, undenatured type 2 collagen acts as an immune modulator, preventing the immune system from attacking the body's joint cartilage. This allows room for strong, flexible joint cartilage to be renewed and rebuilt.
Hydrolyzed collagen (also known as collagen peptides and denatured collagen) is native collagen that's been "digested" into small amino acid chains called peptides. The original collagen protein is put through enzymatic hydrolysis, breaking the bonds of the triple helix into small, bioavailable peptide building blocks. These peptides are rapidly absorbed by the body to be reassembled into collagen in connective tissue – whether that is type 1, type 2, type 3, or others!
These different collagen supplements also differ when it comes to dosage. Hydrolyzed collagen peptides need to be taken in larger doses, while undenatured collagen is only required in a small daily dose to exert its benefits. In short, undenatured collagen interacts with the immune system in the digestive tract, while hydrolyzed collagen promotes the synthesis of new collagen to help rebuild connective tissue.

"It's good to be back! I had a great week of learning and networking at the AAIM Executive Leadership course in Boston - some long days of strategy, operations management and cost accounting, but definitely an outstanding group to learn with. I look forward to bringing back some of what I learned to our program.
Thanks to the chiefs, Eileen, Juliessa and Tony, as well as the Associate Program Directors and office staff for holding down the fort this past week! We started our second group of Stead Attendings (Steve Crowley and Tom Owens) on Duke Gen Med and continued with the noon conference emergency lecture series. The lecture series continues this week and we will end this part of our curriculum with Physical Exam Week, starting August 8th.
Finally, GOOD LUCK to the second year med students on their shelf exam this week - its been fun having you on gen med! And congratulations to Meredith Edwards (PGY-1) on her engagement!
This article appears in the July 28th NEJM. It reports on the results of a desensitization protocol in a cohort of highly allosensitized patients awaiting kidney transplant. These authors have a long track record of clinical trials and research in this area.
Kidney transplantation confers the best survival for patients with ESRD healthy enough to undergo transplant. Nearly 100,000 people in the US are awaiting kidney transplant. The waiting times can be prolonged particularly in our geographic area. Roughly 20-25% of those awaiting transplant are highly allosensitized. The development of these alloantibodies generally occurs due to transfusion, prior transplantation, or pregnancy. These patients who are allosensitized also have substantially longer waiting times and once transplanted suffer from higher rejection rates along with worse outcomes.
As has been shown in prior studies, moving forward with transplant carried a significant survival benefit compared to dialysis. Those in the treatment group had the highest 1 yr, 3 yr, and 8 year survival (90%, 85.7%, 80%) compared to the dialysis only group (91%, 67%, 30%) and compared to the Dialysis-Transplant Group (93%, 77%, 49%). These data provide further evidence that desensitization protocols may help overcome incompatibility barriers and allow more patients to move forward with transplant.
"Physical Exam Week" starts in August 8, just one week away. If you have not all ready done so, please complete the online survey to help us prepare for the upcoming series. So that you can also plan ahead, below is the preliminary schedule for reference.

This Ethiopian lentil stew is made with veggies and hearty potatoes simmered in berbere-spiced red lentils, for a healthy and flavor-packed dish that's totally doable on a busy weeknight.
If you go to an Ethiopian restaurant you should find something on the menu that looks something like this dish, but it would be called misir wat, and it would be incredibly delicious. I had no idea when I first tried that dish how easy it was to make at home, but here it is, something very no-fuss that you can easily cook up on a weeknight in one pot.
I threw some extras into my stew, just because I like extras. The potatoes, tomatoes and spinach wouldn't be found in traditional versions of the dish, at least as far as I'm aware, but who doesn't love potatoes, tomatoes and spinach?
My other reason for the additions was to make up for the lack of injera, which is a big spongy sourdough tasting pancakey thing that this dish would normally be served with. If you can get your hands on one (or make it), I say go for it. It's delicious. I'm a bit challenged in that department, so I've been known to seek out creative swaps (exhibit a).
As you can see, I threw some turmeric rice into the meal as well. It's March, so winter is almost over and I'm going to carbify my meals as much as possible while I still have the cold weather as an excuse. If you'd like to go that route, just cook up some basmati with oil and a pinch of turmeric, or follow the rice portion of this recipe without the mustard seeds.
The key to making this meal so tasty and easy is Ethiopian berbere spice, which I definitely recommend having on hand, as it turns everything in it's path to delicious. I was lazy this time and bought mine online, but you can also make your own.
By the way, if you're looking for more cozy African stew deliciousness, check out my African peanut stew recipe.

Hi there! I just tried out this recipe for lunch. I didn't have potatoes which I was upset about because I know other have said the potato really adds something special to it. But instead of potato, I used a block of tofu that I cubed. It was amazing!!! I hope to try it with potatoes at some point though!
Tofu sounds like a great addition! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I'm so glad you like it! I hope your family does too!
Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe. I used fresh tomatoes and added carrot (I love carrots) and it was absolutely delicious. Next time, I will add 3tbsp of Berber spice.
That sounds delicious! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
This is a brilliant recipe. I've actually made it countless times since I first discovered this page a couple years ago. It always turns out sooo delicious. It is wholesome, healthy, hearty. I could easily eat this every week.
I'm so glad you like it! Thanks so much Josie!
I love this recipe and I've made it several times. Today I tweaked it a bit, through in some carrots and a tablespoon of peanut butter and made it in my instantpot! It turned out delicious!
Could you share how long you cooked in the instant pot? Thanks!
One of the best Vegetrian dishes I have ever eaten! So delicious!
Yay! Glad you like it! Thanks Paul!
Possibly, but you'd need to make lots of adjustments – brown lentils take longer to cook, they need more liquid, and shouldn't be cooked with tomatoes (which prevent them from softening). They also cook up a lot firmer, so you'd end up with a stew that has a very different texture from this one.
What type of rice is in the picture?


Webinar Mistakes That Are Boring Me to Tears!
Video conferencing can be an influential tool to build a community of similar interests, establish thought leadership, and even cultivate and develop sales leads. But few webinar hosts seem to be making the most of the various webinar tools available. As someone who has attended one too many boring, static webinars, if you want to make yours worth my time, here are some things you probably ought to work on.
First and foremost, you hold a 60-minute webinar or free web conferencing event and don't even bother making it interactive! Like seriously? I want to be engaged, with video, audio and other interactive elements. I'm not attending a webinar to just her someone yap the entire time. I want active participation, a Q&A session, polls, chatting. If not, I may as well just watch a recording. Webinars don't have to be boring, so let's not make it.
Secondly, what is with the constant sales pitches? Every other minute is not an opportunity for you to push products down my throat. Help me understand things and I might stick around for another session. Don't just try to up sell me, teach me something useful now. The over the top branding, is just that, over the top. I appreciate that you are trying to make a living, but when in doubt – go subtle or go home.
The other thing I will say is that too much text on your PowerPoint kills all the excitement of a live event. I don't quite get the idea of having so much text on slides. If I want to read, I'll go to the library. Too much text gets really boring, real quick. I want some visuals, images, infographics, and maybe a YouTube clip, not just plain boring text. The slides are supposed to enhance a presentation, not literally spell it out.
I also love interactive Q&A sessions. I love honesty too. So, if you think you don't know the answer, it's absolutely fine, but don't just stop the question and answer round completely. You can always follow-up after the event or post answers on the conference page or community bulletin or even an email.
Polls are another feature that I love about a webinar service. Polling allows me to have a voice in a webinar's direction or content, and enhances engagement throughout. In fact, polls help us "attendees" feel like we have been a vital part of the webinar. At the same time, please, please don't do a poll just to see if I'm awake. I'd like to get my brain working and know that the poll holds some value and isn't just being used to take attendance. If your webinar is interesting and interactive, I'll participate.
So how about hosting a webinar or web/video conferencing or webcast that not only helps us "attendees" enhance our knowledge, but gives you a valuable, vibrant, and interactive way to communicate. Please?


Uber's Summer Lovin' round is one of my most favorite rounds of the year. The boho fish shack by DRD sets the scene for this french fry loving, ketchup wearing, summer lovin babe of the wharf. I love Addams's new ripped shorts and wanted to play with some of the colors that were included in the fat pack, as I've used the plain jean texture in a number of photos that I have yet to post. This yellow color screams summer sun and contrasts so awesomely with United Colors fiery red Laced Top. A blast of warm air ruffles Wasabi's hair, which is pulled up on the left side with a french braid. Summer Lovin' at it's finest… thanks Uber and my lovely friend, Sugah Sugah!!

The paper examines the treatment of the story through the language of the image in one of the most interesting churches in Moldavia (Romania) – Sucevitsa, as it tries to give more general conclusions about such kind of transcriptions in the proto-Byzantine epoch. As a matter of principle, the abundance of inscriptions, inserted in the image, contains a strong rhetoric connotation. In the first part of the study, the subject of the research is the epigraphic verbosity in the image, as a guarantee of narrativeness – in this way the inscription is examined as a means of narrativeness. The question of the discourse of the image, however, turns into a problem for the iconicity of the written material – the text goes beyond the framework of the narrative in order to turn itself into an iconic sign. Even more paradoxical is this problem in the epoch of the hesychasm – then comes a tension caused by the discursiveness of the sacred image and the hesychast requirement of silence.

UEFA Confirm Top 4 Clubs From Europe's Top 4 Leagues To Qualify Automatically For Champions League
UEFA have announced changes in the Champions League qualifying rules and revealed that the top four clubs from Europe's four top-flight leagues will automatically qualify for the group stage.
UEFA confirmed that new set of rules would be put to use from the 2018/19 season onward and will last till the end of the 2020/21 season.
The new rules put forward by UEFA will bring an end to the existing group stage qualifying playoffs between the 4th placed clubs from Europe's top four leagues.
UEFA statement stated the key changes as follows:
"The UEFA Europa League winners will automatically qualify for the UEFA Champions League group stage (currently they can potentially take part in a play-off round).
"The top four clubs from the four top-ranked national associations will now qualify automatically for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.
"A new system for the club coefficients: clubs will be judged on their own records (deletion of the country share for individual club coefficient unless that coefficient is lower than 20% of the association's coefficient).
"Historical success in the competition will also be acknowledged in coefficient calculation (points for previous European titles with a weighted system for UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League titles)."

UEFA accentuated that the existing 32-team format of Champions League will remain intact. The governing body of European football also stressed that there will be a higher financial distribution between the clubs in both the Europa League and Champions League. It was also said that ''market pool share will go down and "sporting performance" will be appreciated and better rewarded.

Port Arthur village is a fascinating historic site set in southern Tasmania. Sitting on a picturesque peninsula, it was originally a 19th century penal settlement which now acts as an open-air museum, drawing in visitors who want to learn more about the region's lengthy criminal past.
Today, the ruins of the site include the impressive prison, as well as the remains of the Convict Church, which was built by the prisoners. In addition to the main part of the prison, there was also the Separate Prison, where inmates were sentenced to solitary confinement and mental punishments.
The Penitentiary dates back to 1843 when it was a much more innocent flour mill and granary. It wasn't until 1857 that it was turned into a prison that could house more than 480 convicts at any given time in a range of dormitory style accommodation and isolated apartments.
It is surrounded by the Watchmen's Quarters, and visitors can explore the mess room, library, Catholic chapel, and workshops when visiting the site. In 1897, the entire building was torn down by a fire, and it lay untouched for numerous years until a conservation program to renovate it came into play in the 1960s.
Over the years, the prison site has been extensively renovated to make it the place it is today. It was reopened to the public in 2014 after a year of being closed, and work still continues today, as information signs are added and archaeological excavations take place in the ablutions block.
Perhaps the most famous part of Port Arthur Prison is the on-site Separate Prison, which was used for corporal punishment at the time. Food was often used as a reward system rather than a basic human right, and prisoners were regularly isolated for weeks at a time on their own in the dark so they could reflect on the crimes they had committed.
The "Silent System" was in full enforcement in the Separate Prison, where inmates were forced to wear hoods when others were around, were identified by numbers rather than their names, and were forced to keep quiet. At the time, this form of punishment was considered an advancement in prisoner reformation.
Visiting the Port Arthur Prison is a fascinating experience that provides a dark and interesting insight into the prison world during the 1800s. Exhibits showcase some of the more unimaginable aspects of prison life, while information and stories are dotted around for visitors to discover.
