I'd like to ask...glow plugs...do they ever need replacing as part of a service schedule and if so at what mileage?
Like my Aygo...i know that i dont need to...but because sparks are so cheap i replace them yearly with my diy servicing.
Whereas glow plugs are a lot dearer...hence the question.
I've never seen glow plugs as a maintenance item. Sure, they go bad and it's not exactly rare, but if they're working then there's no reason to go through all that trouble to replace them. If you screw up just a tiny little bit and the plug breaks in half (very common), then essentially the whole head needs to come out and the plugs are drilled out.
There are methods of replacing them that maximise your chances of success but there's nothing that guarantees it. Many, many diesels of 20 years and more running around with factory glowplugs, no problems. Since they're a simple thing there's not much that can go wrong with them if the engine is maintained properly.
I didnt know that...thank you for an education lesson in glow plugs...its our first diesel...hence my curiosity all of a sudden!
How would you know if one was faulty for example...does the engine light show up?
As a past diesel owner, I'd say in general terms that failure of 1 out of 4 glowplugs might not be noticeable, especially in the summer months, though there might be a touch more smoke on start-up, and perhaps a little more uneven tick-over for a few seconds. A second glowplug failure would probably be noticeable, but might not give real starting problems until winter time. Driving an older generation diesel with indirect injection, I found my 2 diesel cars a pig to start in cold weather with 2 failed glowplugs, but I suspect modern diesels, which tend to be direct injection, are less reliant on glowplugs for starting.
As Byzii says above, you can open a can of worms trying to remove a glowplug, and my suggestion would be to leave well alone. Just keep an eye on things, so it doesn't come as a shock and let you down at an inconvenient moment. By keeping an eye on things, I mean such as noting if it's more awkward to start, smoke etc. You can't beat passing a current through a glowplug on the workbench, and seeing the tip glow red, but I found second best was to measure the current (12-20 amps) drawn by each glowplug in-situ, but how accessible this is on your car I don't know, and I modified the wiring to the glowplugs of my second diesel car to make this test easier for me to carry out.
I'm sure I read a while ago, probably on another Forum, of a small/medium diesel hatchback running with either 1 or no glowplugs working. It might not have been in this country of course!

The Life of Paul
Key Text
"Out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you." II Corinthians 2:4.
Study Help: The Acts of the Apostles, 243–254, 298–322.
"No man ever lived who was a more earnest, energetic, and self-sacrificing disciple of Christ than was Paul. … He possessed a burning desire to bring perishing men to a knowledge of the truth through a Saviour's love." Sketches from the Life of Paul, 100, 101.
1 THE MISSIONARY TENTMAKER
What blessing did the Lord provide for Paul upon his arrival in Corinth? Acts 18:1–3. What should we realize about Paul's situation?
Note: "His [Paul's] whole soul was engaged in the work of the ministry; but he seated himself to the labor of his humble trade that he might not be burdensome to the churches that were pressed with poverty. Although he had planted many churches, he refused to be supported by them, fearing that his usefulness and success as a minister of Christ might be injured by suspicions that he was preaching the gospel for gain. He would remove from his enemies all occasion to misrepresent him, and thus to detract from the force of his message.
"As a laborer in the gospel, Paul might have claimed support, instead of sustaining himself; but this right he was willing to forego. Although feeble in health, he labored during the day in serving the cause of Christ, and then toiled a large share of the night, and frequently all night, that he might make provision for his own and others' necessities. The apostle would also give an example to the Christian ministry, dignifying and honoring industry. While thus preaching and working, he presented the highest type of Christianity." Sketches from the Life of Paul, 101.
2 THE WORK EXPANDS …
In Corinth, whom did Paul persuade in the synagogue every Sabbath? Acts 18:4, 5. What did he decide there, and how did the Lord encourage His servant at this difficult time? Acts 18:6–11.
Describe the next trials Paul faced, and how God blessed his labors. Acts 18:12–23.
What can we learn from the mutual love and respect among Paul, Aquila, and Priscilla—and the way God was able to use all three of them to His glory? Acts 18:24–28; I Corinthians 3:22, 23; 4:6.
Note: "Aquila and Priscilla listened to him [Apollos], and saw that his teachings were defective. He had not a thorough knowledge of the mission of Christ, His resurrection and ascension, and of the work of His Spirit, the Comforter which He sent down to remain with His people during His absence. They accordingly sent for Apollos, and the educated orator received instruction from them with grateful surprise and joy. Through their teachings he obtained a clearer understanding of the Scriptures, and became one of the ablest defenders of the Christian church. Thus a thorough scholar and brilliant orator learned the way of the Lord more perfectly from the teachings of a Christian man and woman whose humble employment was that of tent-making." Sketches from the Life of Paul, 119.
"Aquila and Priscilla were not called to give their whole time to the ministry of the gospel, yet these humble laborers were used by God to show Apollos the way of truth more perfectly. The Lord employs various instrumentalities for the accomplishment of His purpose, and while some with special talents are chosen to devote all their energies to the work of teaching and preaching the gospel, many others, upon whom human hands have never been laid in ordination, are called to act an important part in soulsaving.
"There is a large field open before the self-supporting gospel worker. Many may gain valuable experiences in ministry while toiling a portion of the time at some form of manual labor, and by this method strong workers may be developed for important service in needy fields." The Acts of the Apostles, 355.
3 NOT TO LOSE FOCUS
As talented Apollos had now begun his faithful work as an apostle in Corinth, what began to occur among the believers in that city? I Corinthians 1:10–13.
What points was Paul constrained to clarify to the Corinthians regarding the vanity of human learning and finite knowledge? I Corinthians 1:17–31.
Although Paul could have easily spoken in such a way as to impress his Corinthian hearers with his extensive learning, how had his limited success in Athens influenced him to try a different method instead? I Corinthians 2:1–5.
Note: "In preaching the gospel in Corinth, the apostle [Paul] followed a course different from that which had marked his labors at Athens. While in the latter place, he had sought to adapt his style to the character of his audience; he had met logic with logic, science with science, philosophy with philosophy. As he thought of the time thus spent, and realized that his teaching in Athens had been productive of but little fruit, he decided to follow another plan of labor in Corinth in his efforts to arrest the attention of the careless and the indifferent. He determined to avoid elaborate arguments and discussions, and 'not to know anything' among the Corinthians 'save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.' He would preach to them 'not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power' (I Corinthians 2:2, 4)." The Acts of the Apostles, 244.
"Paul was an eloquent speaker. Before his conversion he had often sought to impress his hearers by flights of oratory. But now he set all this aside. Instead of indulging in poetic descriptions and fanciful representations, which might please the senses and feed the imagination, but which would not touch the daily experience, Paul sought by the use of simple language to bring home to the heart the truths that are of vital importance. Fanciful representations of truth may cause an ecstasy of feeling, but all too often truths presented in this way do not supply the food necessary to strengthen and fortify the believer for the battles of life." Ibid., 251, 252.
4 REFUSING TO BE RIVALS
What principles did the Corinthians need to learn about God's apostles—and how can this apply in our midst today? I Corinthians 3:1–10. How was the problem wisely handled? I Corinthians 16:12.
Note: "There can be no stronger evidence in churches that the truths of the Bible have not sanctified the receivers, than their attachment to some favorite minister, and their unwillingness to accept the labors of some other teacher, and to be profited by them. The Lord sends help to His church as they need, not as they choose; for short-sighted mortals cannot discern what is for their highest good. It is seldom that one minister has all the qualifications necessary to perfect any one church in all the requirements of Christianity; therefore God sends other ministers to follow him, one after another, each possessing some qualifications in which the others were deficient.
"The church should gratefully accept these servants of Christ, even as they would accept the Master Himself. They should seek to derive all the benefit possible from the instruction which ministers may give them from the word of God. But the ministers themselves are not to be idolized; there should be no religious pets and favorites among the people; it is the truths they bring which are to be accepted and appreciated in the meekness of humility.
"In the apostles' day, one party claimed to believe in Christ, yet refused to give due respect to His ambassadors. They claimed to follow no human teacher, but to be taught directly from Christ, without the aid of ministers of the gospel. They were independent in spirit, and unwilling to submit to the voice of the church. Another party claimed Paul as their leader, and drew comparisons between him and Peter, which were unfavorable to the latter. Another declared that Apollos far exceeded Paul in address, and power of oratory. Another claimed Peter as their leader, affirming that he had been most intimate with Christ when He was upon the earth, while Paul had been a persecutor of the believers. There was danger that this party spirit would ruin the Christian church.
"Paul and Apollos were in perfect harmony. The latter was disappointed and grieved because of the dissension in the church; he took no advantage of the preference shown himself, nor did he encourage it, but hastily left the field of strife. When Paul afterward urged him to visit Corinth, he declined, and did not again labor there until long after, when the church had reached a better spiritual state." Sketches from the Life of Paul, 127, 128.
5 UPHOLDING STANDARDS
What appeals did Paul make to the conscience of the Corinthians who, by nature, tended heavily to sensuality? I Corinthians 3:16, 17; 6:13–20; 9:25–27.
What is often the experience of an earnest teacher of reformation? II Corinthians 11:29, 30; 12:15. When Paul felt that the struggling Corinthians would not necessarily profit very much from a personal visit from him, what did he do? II Corinthians 2:4; 8:16.
Note: "When Paul sent Titus to Corinth to strengthen the believers there, he instructed him to build up that church in the grace of giving. …
"Unselfish liberality threw the early church into a transport of joy; for the believers knew that their efforts were helping to send the gospel message to those in darkness. Their benevolence testified that they had not received the grace of God in vain. What could produce such liberality but the sanctification of the Spirit? In the eyes of believers and unbelievers it was a miracle of grace.
"Spiritual prosperity is closely bound up with Christian liberality. The followers of Christ should rejoice in the privilege of revealing in their lives the beneficence of their Redeemer." The Acts of the Apostles, 344, 345.
What did Paul instruct Titus about expanding the gospel work into broader regions while still maintaining its purity? Titus 1:5–9, 15, 16; 2:1, 11–15; 3:9–11.
PERSONAL REVIEW QUESTIONS
1 How can Paul inspire all who work with their hands for a livelihood?
2 Explain how humble Priscilla and Acquila could bear far-reaching fruit.
3 In seeking to win intellectuals, what can we learn from Paul in Corinth?
4 What type of attitude can ruin the effects of the varied gifts in the church?

The Naval Career of Fred Henley, Last Survivor of HM Submarine Truculent.
Few people, even in the Navy, are even aware of this dreadful incident [the loss of submarine HMS Truculent in the Thames] and certainly not the details of human error that led to this huge loss of life. The account is gripping, and explains the strange title of the book.
John Johnson-Allen has put Fred Henley's personal accounts in the context of world-changing events, and in particular provides a wonderful snapshot of the Royal Navy of that era.

A Social Business Sees Green in Lean Times

Many Hats, Inhabitat
At the Greener Gadgets conference in New York, entrepreneur Mark Bent of SunNight Solar touted his successful electronic
At the Greener Gadgets conference in New York, entrepreneur Mark Bent of SunNight Solar touted his successful electronics business originally launched in Africa. Most technology start-ups aim for early adopters in the developed world who are willing to pay a premium for innovative new features, betting that a successful product will later become appealing to the mainstream consumer market. Bent chose a different path and built a business for the BoGo solar flashlight by designing for refugees and people without electricity living in developing countries.
As a former diplomat, U.S. Marine, and Navy Officer, Bent had spent time in African countries without the infrastructure to generate steady supply of electricity. Farm workers, herders and relief workers tested his early prototypes and gave the kind of real-world feedback needed to turn the product into a rugged and reliable device. The BoGo has since crossed over to the U.S. market, winning fans among outdoor enthusiasts and green consumers.
Bent's biggest personal reward comes from the customers whose lives are changed by the BoGo light. Families are able to keep the lights on without burning dangerous and environmentally toxic kerosene, creating the opportunity for children to study well past sundown. "It's kind of tough to put that kind of return on investment into numbers for your business plan," says Bent, "but it's certainly one of the things that helps me get excited about getting up in the morning."

Even the smallest dental imperfections can seriously tarnish your beautiful smile. Chips, cracks, or discolorations cause others to focus on your teeth, rather than what you're saying. Fortunately, minor imperfections can easily be treated through cosmetic bonding. As the top cosmetic dentist in the region, Dr. Laurence Rifkin will work with you to create a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses your dental concerns.
Bonding involves the use of a composite resin material to repair small imperfections in teeth. It is appropriate for treatment of tooth decay, chips, fractures, and discoloration. Dr. Rifkin carefully prepares composite resin to perfectly match the natural color of your tooth. The result is a flawless, attractive tooth surface with no visible imperfections. The bonding procedure is a cosmetic alternative to traditional amalgam dental fillings. Furthermore, Dr. Rifkin is the best dentist for cosmetic bonding Beverly Hills has to offer.
One of the greatest advantages of cosmetic bonding is that it is a straightforward, minimally invasive procedure. Dental bonding can be completed in just one visit, meaning that you can walk into Dr. Rifkin's clinic with tooth imperfections and walk out with the gorgeous smile of your dreams. Furthermore, cosmetic bonding involves a minimal amount of tooth enamel removal. For people who need relatively minor repairs, this makes it an attractive alternative to crowns or veneers. Finally, the procedure is pain-free and typically done without anesthesia, meaning that you will be able to return to your everyday activities immediately following your office visit.
It is important to note that cosmetic bonding requires some care to maintain an attractive final look. The resin material used for cosmetic bonding resists stains. However, it is important to avoid smoking cigarettes or drinking coffee, tea, red wine, or dark colas for at least 48 hours after the procedure.
The Rifkin Method begins with an individualized consultation and education session. At this visit, Dr. Rifkin will meticulously assess the chips, fractures, discoloration, or wear and tear on your teeth. He will walk you through various treatment options and determine whether cosmetic bonding is appropriate for you.
The actual bonding procedure is relatively quick. As a fine artist and top cosmetic dentist, Dr. Rifkin takes the time to carefully select a shade of composite resin that perfectly matches your natural tooth color. This ensures that the cosmetic bonding work is seamless and undetectable to the naked eye. He then roughens the surface of the tooth with a special tool, coats the tooth in a conditioning liquid, and applies the resin. Dr. Rifkin uses a dental microscope to apply the putty-like resin, allowing him to perfectly fill chips or cracks with high precision. Finally, ultraviolet or laser light is applied to harden the composite resin and complete the bonding. You will sit up from the dental chair with a whole new smile.
To learn more about the unique Rifkin Method of dental care, contact us today. We work closely with our patients to ensure they have superior results that meet their expectations. Dr. Rifkin's careful eye for detail sets him apart from other providers of cosmetic bonding Beverly Hills has to offer. Visit us to learn more about how we can restore your breathtaking smile.

Overview: When conditions are right it can be epic mirror flat freestyle conditions and a risk free intermediate practicing ground. It's best just before and after high tide when the horseshoe shaped sandbanks becomes exposed and the water goes totally flat on both tacks in a westerly, but beware it is shallow and there are rocks so be wary or your fin or nose if you're doing freestyle. In a north westerly sail upwind to the old oyster bed and walk over the wall, inside it is deep and totally flat on both tacks.
Best Wind Directions: S through to N. Best on W and NW.
Locals Knowledge/Warnings: On a NW go in the oyster bed around high tide for total freestyle perfection. Eat your heart out Dahab! S-W-N for intermediates, at high tide, it's the place to go. No questions.


Usually, conservative treatment is given which includes rest, moderate exercises like swimming, walking and stretching to strengthen the back, medications for relieving pain and inflammation, physical therapy and hot/cold therapy. For severe pain, epidural injection of corticosteroids may be recommended in some cases. Only when conservative treatment provides little or no relief, surgery is recommended. Surgery aims at removing the overgrown tissue such as scar tissue, bulging disc and bone spurs thereby enlarging the canal and relieving pressure on the nerves. Traditionally, surgery for foraminal stenosis involved open spine surgery. Open spine surgery is performed through a large incision and involves extensive muscle and soft tissue dissection and removal of a portion of spinal bone to access the affected compressed nerve root. In some cases, it leads to spinal instability and requires another procedure called a fusion, to stabilize the spine. Fusion involves placement of bone grafts, screws, and rods to permanently fuse the two vertebrae into one solid bone.
Endoscopic foraminoplasty is performed through a small incision on the back near the compressed nerve root. To access the spine, muscles are not cut but are moved aside with telescoping tubes that are inserted into the incision down to the compressed nerve root. Next, an endoscope (a thin flexible telescope) and tiny surgical tools are inserted through the tubes. The portion of disc or bone material causing pressure on the nerve is removed by manual reamers, powered reamers and laser resection to restore foraminal volume. This reduces the pressure on the nerves and relieves the pain. The surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis and the patient can return home the same day as the surgery. Recovery is much quicker as compared to the open spine surgery.

Guide to Hiring a Great C++ Developer
C++ is a powerful general purpose multi-paradigm programming language. The language's immense set of features, its overall complexity, lack of elegant external tooling that other popular languages have, and access to low-level resources makes this one of the most difficult programming languages to master. Taming this mammoth beast requires much experience and wisdom.

Scotland signs up to climate agreement with 260 state, regional and city governments
Nicola Sturgeon has urged the world's national governments to go "further and faster" on climate change, after Scotland spearheaded an agreement with more than 260 state, regional and city governments, to become net-zero in less than 30 years.
The new memorandum of understanding means that any new members to the Under2 Coalition would need to sign up to net-zero emissions targets by 2050 as a baseline.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who is the European co-chair of the coalition, said it was about turning promises into action.
She said: "COP26 in Glasgow is one of the world's last chances to deliver on the aims of the Paris Agreement. To achieve that it is essential that countries turn promises into action, and it is crucial that states, regions and devolved governments play our full part.
"Collectively, we share the responsibility for delivering the actions required to achieve over half of the emissions cuts needed at a global level.
"As European co-chair of the Under 2 Coalition, which now represents almost 2 billion people around the world, I urge state, regional and devolved governments to up their ambition. By doing so, we can spur national governments to go further and faster, too."
Members of the coalition represent more than 1.75 billion people and 50 per cent of the global economy.
They say that between 50 and 80 per cent of the adaptations and mitigations necessary to limit the increase in global average temperature to below 2 degrees celsius, will need to be implemented at the subnational or local levels.
Gavin Newsom, Governor of California said the tough action was necessary to avert the worst possible impacts of climate change.
He said: "The climate crisis is on our doorstep and responding to it requires all nations and states to be pulling in the same direction. The Under2 Coalition is a powerful forum for making that happen.
"As a founding member and current co-chair of the Coalition, California welcomes this renewed memorandum of understanding's even more ambitious path toward meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement. It is only by working together on these bold actions that we can together avert the worst possible impacts of climate change."
Lang Banks, director at WWF Scotland said: "Much of the focus to date has been on big emitters, such as the UK, China, and other official parties to the UN climate talks. However, put simply, we won't be able to successfully address the climate emergency without action by devolved nations, like Scotland, acting alongside states and regional governments globally.
"We therefore welcome the announcement today that 260 regional, devolved and subnational governments, including our own, have now committed as a group to align with science and the Paris Agreement by achieving net-zero emissions.
"As well as delivering on its own pledge domestically, we hope the Scottish Government will continue to inspire others by demonstrating climate solutions, help ensure states and regions are included in the UN process and do all it can to ensure this group of governments deliver substantial emissions reductions on time."

The legislative branch of Portland, Maine, is a city council. It is a nine seat council, composed of representatives from the city's five districts, three councilors elected citywide and the full-time elected Mayor of Portland. The eight councilors are elected for three-year terms, while the Mayor is elected for a four-year term.

The Council is officially non-partisan, though councilors are often known for their political party affiliation.

In 1923, the city transitioned from a Mayor–council government to a Council–manager government. This was in alignment with national trends in metropolitan governments, and also partially motivated by the influence of the Maine Ku Klux Klan, which resented what was perceived as the growing power of ethnic and religious minorities. In 2011 the city charter was changed to allow an election for mayor again in 2011. Subsequent elections were held in 2015 and 2019.

In 2020, voters approved a proposal to switch elections for City Council and school board to ranked-choice elections.

In 2022, voters approved a proposal to switch elections for City Council to Proportional Rank Choice Voting.

The Portland City Council meets at Portland City Hall, an historic 1909 building on Congress Street.

District 2: Spencer Thibodeau
Spencer Thibodeau (born March 18, 1988) is a real estate attorney and native of Cincinnati, Ohio, who was elected in 2015 to represent District 2 following the retirement of David Marshall.
