LAURENCE GARTEL, IS KNOWN TO THE WORLD AS THE "FATHER" OF DIGITAL ART FOR OVER 40-YEARS.
His career started working side by side with video guru Nam June Paik at Media Study/Buffalo in upstate New York. He taught Andy Warhol how to use the Amiga Computer in order to produce the album cover for Debbie Harry (Blondie). Growing up in New York City during the Punk Rock era he was friends with Stiv Bators, Sid Vicious, Joey Ramone, Wendy O. Williams, and exhibited his work with Robert Mapplethorpe. Creating Digital Art before the birth of the personal computer, his work has been exhibited with the Museum of Modern Art, Long Beach Museum of Art, Princeton Art Museum, Norton Museum of Art as well as included in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Institution's Museum of American History, Bibliotheque Nationale Paris and Victoria and Albert (V&A) Museum, London.
Gartel has traveled the world exhibiting and projecting his work in Australia, Spain, Germany, Italy, as well as going to India, creating a Bollywood Music/Video for Universal Entertainment. He has been commissioned to produce artwork on Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Red Hot Chili Peppers, as well as for corporations such as Coca Cola, Philip Morris, Walt Disney, National Basketball Association, Gibson Guitars, Bang & Olufsen, and known to most for his ABSOLUT GARTEL ad for Absolut Vodka.
The year 2015 could have been its own book. Gartel was the Official Artist of the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, Los Angeles. He "wrapped" the large-scale, one of a kind Grammy Statue with his Digital Art printed to vinyl right here in South Florida. He was the Artist of the NASA MMS Mission, at Kennedy Space Center, as well as being the Artist of the Newport Jazz Festival wrapping a one of a kind Trumpet to honor the career of Miles Davis. Gartel unveiled the First National State Art Car at the Capital building in Concord with Governor Maggie Hassan, reading letters of Commendation from the House of Representatives, Senate, and Congress. Gartel participated in the Los Angeles Street Art Fair creating a commissioned Dodge Viper Art Car and was the Visionary of the 3D Print Conference in Santa Clara. Gartel showcased his 1978 groundbreaking "Self Portrait" film at the 7th Annual Cairo International Video Festival. He finished the year creating the Official Artwork for the Monaco International Film Festival.
His concentration the last several years has been focused on Art Cars, the first commission being the TESLA Electric Art Roadster during Art Basel Miami Beach in 2010. He was the "FEATURE" of the 113th New York International Auto Show with his own 30,000 square foot Pavilion in 2013. Mercedes Benz commissioned Gartel to create a very special Art Car to celebrate their "13th Million Friend on Facebook. Gartel unveiled a $250,000 Renntech Mercedes SL65 V-12 Art Car at Fisher Island Club during Art Basel Miami, December 2014, an Award Winner "Best of Class" at Amelia Island 2015. His "Care-Connect" VW Amarok represents the First Solar Satellite Art Truck. Gartel branded the Oslo Motor Show and produced a BMW Mini LIVE for the Norwegian public in October, 2016.

Mladý ječmen (), též zelený ječmen, představuje zelené listy z mladých rostlin ječmene setého (Hordeum vulgare), který se řadí mezi čeleď lipnicovité. Jedná se o potravinu a doplněk stravy. Řadí se mezi tzv. "zelené potraviny", tento pojem označuje mladé rostliny v raném období růstu, kdy obsahují významnou koncentraci živin a biologicky aktivních látek potřebné pro svůj vývoj a ochranu. Sklízí se ve vegetativní fázi vývoje rostliny, cca. 2 týdny po zasetí pří výšce 30 až 60 cm. Zpracovává se vylisováním šťávy z listů nebo usušením listů a rozemletím na prášek.

Obsahové látky
Mladý ječmen obsahuje mnoho nutričních a biologicky aktivních látek. Uvádí se významný obsah minerálních látek, polyfenolů, vitaminů, monosacharidů (glukózy a fruktózy), aminokyselin (kyseliny asparagové a glutamové), vlákniny, enzymů a chlorofylu. Sušený mladý ječmen obsahuje ve 100 g 57,9 % sacharidů, 29,5 % vlákniny, 27,3 % bílkovin a 4,57 % tuku. Z minerálních látek je významné zastoupení vápníku (479,4 mg/100 g), železa (23,3 mg/100 g), hořčíku (183,2 mg/100 g) a draslíku (3384 mg/100 g). Mladý ječmen se vyznačuje vysokým obsahem antioxidantů. Mezi hlavní antioxidanty patří flavonoidy (např. lutonarin a saponarin), enzymy superoxid dismutáza (SOD) a kataláza (CAT), beta-karoten a vitaminy C (251,6 mg/100 g) a E (15 mg/100 g). Z vitaminů také obsahuje vitamin A (20,5 mg/100 g), kyselinu listovou (označovanou též jako folát, vitamin B9), vitaminy B1 (0,61 mg/100 g), B2 (1,56 mg/100 g), kyselinu pantothenovou (vitamin B5) a vitamin B6 (1,12 mg/100 g). Nicméně velké množství látek je nestabilní a je ničeno teplem.  Navíc zůstává otázkou, jaká je skutečná využitelnost uvedených látek pro lidský organismus.

Zpracování
Paulíčková et al. (2007) analyzovali obsahové látky mladého ječmene a zjistili, že obsah vitaminu C, polyfenolů, kyseliny ferulové, monosacharidů a aminokyselin klesá se stářím rostliny. Způsob zpracování vylisováním šťávy z celé rostliny ječmene je dosaženo vysokého výtěžku živin. Dalším způsobem zpracování může být usušení listů ječmene a následné rozemletí na prášek. Paulíčková et al. (2007) hodnotili nejšetrnější způsob konzervace pro uchování obsahových látek, zejména folátu, polyfenolů a antioxidantů. Nejšetrnějším způsobem konzervace bylo zhodnoceno zmrazení vylisované šťávy. Autoři se shodují, že nejméně šetrný způsob konzervace je fludní sušení. Kopáček et al. (2007), který zkoumal vliv způsobu konzervace na aktivitu katalázy, uvádí, že šetrným způsob je použití hydrostatického tlaku. Ovšem obsah nutričních látek je také závislý na růstové fázi rostliny a dalších faktorů, například druhu ječmene, místo růstu, půdě, a právě způsobu zpracování. Na obalech doplňků stravy lze obvykle najít způsob zpracování daného produktu.

Mechanismus účinku
Mladý ječmen je bohatý zdroj antioxidantů, které zabraňují oxidativnímu stresu. Ve studiích byla zkoumaná antioxidační aktivita flavonoidů. Studie popisují mnoho pozitivních účinků flavonoidů, právě díky své antioxidační aktivitě a schopnosti tvořit chelatační vazby. Flavonoidy reagují s velkým množstvím radikálů. Studie zjistily významný antioxidační účinek saponarinu (726,2 mg/100 g) a lutonarinu (342,9 mg/100 g). Saponarin inhibuje tvorbu malonaldehydu (MA), který je produktem pokročilé lipidové peroxidace (ALEs). Aktivita je srovnatelná s antioxidační aktivitou butylhydroxytoluenu (BHT) a alfa-tokoferolu (vitaminu E). Saponarin na rozdíl od alfa-tokoferolu působí u tuků s vyšším počtem dvojných vazeb (např. u rybího tuku), také významně působí na omega 3 mastné kyseliny. Tyto tuky s vyšším počtem dvojných vazeb přispívají udržení k normální hladině cholesterolu v krvi a mají významnou úlohu v prevenci srdečně-cévních onemocnění.  Právě lipidová peroxidace je totiž dávána do souvislosti s nemocemi, jako je ateroskleróza, diabetes mellitus, Alzheimerova choroba nebo rakovina.

Další antioxidant izolovaný z extraktu mladého ječmene je enzym kataláza. Jeho nejvyšší aktivita byla zjištěna na konci odnožování (DC 29), což je brzká růstová fáze vývoje rostliny. Funkcí enzymu je ochrana buněk před toxickým působením peroxidu vodíku, který je produkován v peroxizomech oxidázami při beta-oxidaci mastných kyselin, glyoxalátového cyklu nebo při katabolismu purinů. Kataláza, která se řadí do skupiny oxidoreduktáz, katalyzuje rozklad peroxidu vodíku na vodu a kyslík.

Studie na myších zkoumaly imunostimulační aktivitu látek izolovaných z mladého ječmene. Výsledky ukazují, že látka zodpovědná za stimulaci intestinálního imunitního systému je polysacharidová frakce obsahující hemicelulózu glukuronoarabinoxylan (GAX) a pektin rhamnoglacturonan-I (RG)-I. Bylo zjištěno, že polysacharidová frakce, zejména pak její složka GAX, stimuluje aktivitu imunitních buněk. Perorálním podáváním polysacharidové frakce byla dosažena zvýšená produkce imunoglobulinu A (IgA) a také se zvýšila hladina cytokinů souvisejících s IgA. Výsledky studie naznačují, že by příjem polysacharidové frakce bohaté na GAX a (RG)-I z mladého ječmene mohl vést k posílení intestinálního imunity. Studie jsou však pro využití v praxi nedostatečné.

Výsledky studie naznačují, že fytochemikálie mladého ječmene mohou indukovat apoptózu v nádorových buňkách, zabraňovat progresi buněčného cyklu a inhibovat proliferaci rakovinných buněk karcinomu prsu u krys in vivo a adenokarcinomu prsu u lidských buněk in vitro. Protinádorové účinky byly pozorovány i u adenokarcinomu plic a tlustého střeva. Práce navrhují potenciální využití k prevenci nádorových onemocnění, díky svému obsahu prospěšných látek. Studie jsou nicméně zatím experimentální.

Mladý ječmen je zkoumám i ve spojení pozitivního účinku na gastrointestinální trakt zejména díky obsahu vlákniny. Takano et al. (2013) uvádí vliv vlákniny z ječmene na postprandiální glykemii. Suplementací bylo dosaženo potlačení nárůstu postprandiální glykemie u potkanů. V případě klinické studie byl efekt pouze u účastníků s hyperglykemií. V další studii  bylo diabetikům 2. typu podáváno denně 1,2 g prášku mladého ječmene po dobu 60 dnů. Byl zjištěn signifikantní pokles glykemie na lačno, snížení glykovaného hemoglobinu, celkového cholesterol, LDL-cholesterolu a vzestup HDL-cholesterolu. Pokles cholesterolu je připisován β-sitosterolu, který potlačuje vstřebávání cholesterolu ve střevě a chrání před oxidací LDL-cholesterolu, a tím snižuje riziko rozvoje aterosklerózy. Vzhledem k tomu, že klinické studie byly prováděny na malém počtu účastníků, nelze z nich vyvozovat validní závěry.

Nežádoucí účinky, vliv na těhotenství a laktaci
Jsou známy hypersenzitivní reakce na bílkovinu ječmene v zrnu. Zelené části mladého ječmene neobsahují bílkoviny vyskytující se v zrnu, nicméně by měla být zvýšená opatrnost v užívání u lidí s celiakií.  Nejsou dostatečná data o bezpečnosti a vlivu v těhotenství a kojení.

Dávkování
Jako doplněk stravy se prodává ve formě prášku nebo tablet. Na obalech doplňků stravy se uvádí dávkování prášku v rozmezí 2 – 3 g na den rozdělený většinou do dvou denních dávek či 6 tablet za den. Nicméně není stanovena bezpečná denní dávka.

Závěr
Mladý ječmen je znám pro svůj obsah biologicky aktivních látek. Je spojován s mnoha potenciálními účinky. Zjištěné účinky nicméně vychází ze studií na zvířatech a studií in vitro. Kvůli nedostatku experimentálních výsledků in vivo není využití účinků mladého ječmene v praxi podpořeno. Neexistuje dostatečné množství důkazů, aby mohly být účinky považované za potvrzené. Z tohoto důvodu Evropský úřad pro bezpečnost potravin (EFSA) na základě vědeckého stanoviska neschválil zdravotní tvrzení o účincích mladého ječmene. Dále je otázkou skutečný obsah látek, který může být v každém produktu variabilní a závisí na různých faktorech, např. způsobu zpracování, druhu ječmene, růstové fázi rostliny, místo růstu nebo skladování konečného produktu.

Der Deutsche Bund abstinenter Studenten (DBaSt) war ein Korporationsverband reformierter Studentenverbindungen mit Einfluss auf die frühe Jugendbewegung und Teil der Lebensreformbewegung.

Geschichte
Im Jahr 1902 trat der Student Eduard Edert aus dem Akademischen Turnverein (ATV) in Kiel aus und gründete zusammen mit weiteren abstinenten Studenten den Verein abstinenter Studenten. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt setzte der Verein sich aus etwa 10 Aktiven und 20 alten Herren aus der Abstinenzbewegung zusammen. Zeitgleich gründeten sich anderenorts, so in Tübingen, Berlin und Heidelberg, Gruppen abstinenter Studenten. Zusammen mit diesen schloss man sich 1902 zu einem Dachverband zusammen der ab 1906 den Namen Deutscher Bund abstinenter Studenten (DBaSt) trug. Zusammen mit anderen abstinenten Korporationen gab man ab 1911 die Akademische Gemeinschaft – Monatsschrift für die deutsche studentische Abstinenzbewegung heraus. Im Jahre 1913 war der DBaSt bereits in sechzehn Hochschulen mit Ortsgruppen vertreten. Ideelle und personelle Überschneidungen gab es mit dem abstinenten Guttemplerorden. Der DBaSt war Mitbegründer der Freideutschen Jugend sowie Ideengeber und Mitausrichter des Ersten Freideutschen Jugendtages auf dem Hohen Meißner im Oktober 1913.

In der Festschrift zur Jahrhundertfeier auf dem Hohen Meißner wird der "innere Gehalt" und das Ideal des Bundes wie folgt beschrieben:

Q: Should "realized" be used with the past perfect or simple? A few example sentences:

*

*I woke up late and realized I overslept (or) had overslept.

*I went to market yesterday bought some clothes while paying the bill I realized I left (or) had left my wallet at home.

*When I got home, I realized someone stole (or) had stolen my wallet
Which tense should I use? In this situation, should I use a past simple or past perfect? Or can I use both?

A: I think past perfect would be the better choice for all three sentences. There are are a few other errors in the second sentence.

I woke up late and realized that I had overslept.
I went to the market yesterday and bought some clothes. While paying the bill, I realized that I had left my wallet at home.
When I got home, I realized that someone had stolen my wallet.

I am not sure exactly what rule governs these tenses, but the perfect tense sounds much better to me. This may be due to the presence of another verb, "realized," preceding each verb in question.
*note - I added the word "that" into the examples to improve formality, but that is not strictly necessary.

A: Using past perfect would suit this context more.

I woke up late and realized I had overslept.
I went to the market yesterday and bought some clothes. While paying
the bill, I realized I had left my wallet at home.
When I got home, I realized someone had stolen my wallet.

In these 3 sentences, you could also use "that" before "had" to make it more fluid.
On this website, one example sentence was:

The line down the highway blurred for a second and she realized she had nearly fallen asleep.

Which has the same sentence structure as your sentences, here it prefers "had" after using "realized" earlier in the sentence.
Also shown here, since realized is past tense, have would have to be converted to past tense as well, to had.

A: I woke up late and realized that I had overslept.
I went to the market yesterday and bought some clothes. While paying the bill, I realized that I had left my wallet at home.
When I got home, I realized that someone had stolen my wallet.
I think the usage of past tense makes more sense. Goodluck

Enduring You
Book Review - ENDURING YOU by S.T. HELLER
See what our review team is saying about Enduring You
Keegan has been unlucky in love. Or so she thought. The secrets unravel, but not before she met a hunky fireman online. Jack, sigh, we all want a Jack right? This pair have their fair share of ups and downs at the hands of their exes. Sometimes you want to bash their heads together but you cannot help but love them both. A good love story with plenty of twists to keep you turning the pages.
Enduring You is Keegan's story. She's a strong female that isn't afraid to speak her mind, but isn't afraid to admit her insecurities. Her frustrations with her ex-husband's interference is relatable, but when you find out where Will is coming from you don't know whether to feel bad for him or cheer him on. When she meets Jack, you can't help but think she's finally getting her happy ever after. BUT . . . . . . you just have to read the book.
Do any of us truly know the people we love and trust? Keegan Henderson married the love of her life—twice. And divorced him—twice. An intelligent and high-spirited thirty-four-year-old, Keegan finds herself once again living with her parents while juggling her duties as a mother to her preteen son and discovering who she is as a newly single woman. Her ex-husband, Will, a state police investigator working undercover, is a man with a past. His buried secrets are catching up with him, forcing their way into his present, and as a result, he chooses to deceive those he loves in order to protect them. On her journey to moving on, Keegan has a chance meeting with Jack Grady, a local firefighter, and their attraction to each other is one that neither can deny. But Jack also has baggage of his own that is proving to be too much for Keegan to handle. As their vulnerabilities are exposed, a series of unexpected events occurs, shattering lives along the way.

NaI(Tl) scintillation detectors are widely used in measurements of environmental radioactivity, low level radioactive waste, prompt gamma ray neutron activation analysis, some nuclear physics experiments, geology, etc. This paper reports the results of the energy calibration, resolution and full energy peak efficiency and total efficiency calculations for a 3"x3" NaI(Tl) detector (Canberra Inc.) that are essential to specify the quality of the results of gamma spectrometry measurements. To investigate the effects of the gamma ray energy and the distance from source to detector center on detector efficiency, measurements were performed at different six axial distances for four point sources (Am-241, Cs-137, Co-60 and Na-22). Thus, fundamental data for further works with this detector system were obtained.

Home > Discovering Islam > Understanding Islam > Arrogance, Delusion & Self-Confidence – How Are They Linked?
If we're looking down on a certain person a certain way, we can be sure that we actually look up to that person in some other way.
It's one of the most dangerous diseases of the heart. Arrogance.
It's dangerous not only because it can cause havoc in your life and destroy your hereafter, but also because it makes you blind.
All the time its poison is seeping into your heart, you're almost completely unaware, or in denial, of the damage it's causing you.
That's a sure way of building arrogance. Nonetheless, you can use the quote for your own benefit if you consider it the other way round.
If we're looking down on a certain person a certain way, we can be sure that we actually look up to that person in some other way. The smartly dressed students look down on how the nerd in the class dresses because they are actually jealous of his academic achievements (and can't think of a less immature way of getting back at him).
The fashionable girls look down on the "grandmamma" hijabi girl because they secretly look up to her as a symbol of piety and goodness.
Near the beginning of Surat Al-Baqarah, we find a detailed description of the hypocrites, of whom arrogance is a signature characteristic.
Can you imagine the consequences of causing corruption on earth and not even realizing it? A sign of this happening is when we refuse to listen to other people's advice, when it makes us angry when people criticize our actions. Who do they think they are?
Looking down on how other Muslims worship Allah… the price?
When we are in darkness, we seek light. But what if we don't recognize darkness itself? What if we don't even realize that it is dark? Even worse, what if you shut down your eyes and refuse to believe that it's dark out there?
When they refuse to see, Allah takes away their light.
What use is putting your fingers in your ear when lightning is striking all around you? These people don't want to listen to their souls shouting out for relief. They'd rather avoid feeling guilty altogether by abandoning salah completely, than struggle with it.
How do we save ourselves from slipping into this spiral of arrogance?
The shield that can save us is gratefulness. The key is to focus on what you have, not what you think you should have; knowing that Allah is the Most Wise, and what He has chosen to give us, or to withhold from us, is better than what we could have chosen for ourselves.
Secondly, we must build self-confidence. If we can accept ourselves the way we are, we will no longer feel the need to drag someone else's confidence down to make us feel good about ourselves.
People often think that self-confidence and arrogance are, if not the same, then mutually supportive. That's far from true. Self-confidence is insight, light, wisdom. Arrogance is delusion, darkness, ignorance.
When we have self-confidence, we find it easy to consciously look up to the other person and admire the good Allah favored them with, while at the same time being grateful for our own favors.
A self-confident person doesn't need to brag about his abilities, nor feel the need to show haughtiness. Instead, he knows who and what he is, feels confident about his skills and utilizes them to make the world a better place.
Unlike an arrogant person, a self-confident one is comfortable saying phrases like "I don't know," "I was wrong" and "you are right".
Each individual is a unique combination of weaknesses and strengths, and to be truly humble, we need to be aware of both.

Multiple Suggestions, Any One Would be Great.
Post subject: Multiple Suggestions, Any One Would be Great.
Number 1 is a simple very vague. However, the ones after that, well it would be best if I just said: I'm an alpha tester and $120 kickstarter donor to a game called AQ3D I would love to see its alpha knight set in game. It would make me bouncing off the walls with excitement to see any variation of it in game.
I would love it if someone could make some form of a battle damaged white cloak/robe. You are free to take it in really whatever direction you want, and I'll be happy to use it. I simply can't find anything like this.
I would prefer it to be on costume 18, but I'm fine with anything.
The Alpha Knight set, Now doing a helmet for this I don't think would work too well, but then again I'm not sure exactly how skins can be put together and where their limitations are, but I would love to see something like this armor set. I am also aware it couldn't possibly look exactly how it does in AQ3D because of player models, etc, but I would still love to see some form of it in AOTTG.

DO you have any sort of reference image to go off of? Like is there a game's cloak or something you want specifically to take inspiration from? and are we talking like the scouts rain cloak? (in white) Or an Ezio Assassins Creed cloak? or perhaps a Jedi's cloak?
I know you said go with whatever you want. but a little direction would be awesome.
Post subject: Re: Multiple Suggestions, Any One Would be Great.
Something closer to the Assassins Creed cloak. But I don't necessarily want that because then I would have just requested that. I just want some form of cloak that has that kind of details/style of the Assassins Creed cloak, but then with a battle damaged theme to completely alter it. I also added a second request to this post, I would have made a new post, but I think then it would have looked weird me requesting two skins at once because, in reality, I would only use one. So also take a look at my other request.

"The issue isn't cleaning the trash, the issue is keeping the trash out of the river" said Rachel Kleinfeld at a lunch meeting at the Knowledge Platform Security & Rule of Law, to underscore that reform of Rule of Law is a deeply political issue. The complexity and interdependency of rule of law requires new thinking on how to do interventions, and on how to measure outcomes of non-linear processes.
Read more? See the tweets about programming for complex development, and other Platform publications under the tag #measuringSRoL.
Rachel discussed her work on programming for complex environments, and her new research on how countries with high levels of violence got better. Rachel emphasized that typical policy reform is not linear, and it takes a long time. When the problem is not a flaw in the system, but rather the system itself, a shift in equilibrium is required to a new system altogether.
When this happens, the new power holder will have an overwhelming mandate to draw in power and change the system – with the risk that this may lead to new authoritarianism.
In order to work on security and rule of law reform in such complex environments, planning, programming and measurement should go together constantly, Rachel explained. Since interventions are often temporary, it is important to identify actors on the ground that will make this their life mission, to build a coalition of local people with deep knowledge, and plan the program together with them: in this way, planning is part of the action.
A lively discussion underlined the importance of short links between donors and local partners, a focus on fewer places of intervention, iterative and flexible programming and assessment, and long-term involvement. The discussion also brought out that it requires time to develop deep knowledge and short links. This means working in complex environments requires delegation of certain authority for making changes, to the people executing the programs. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' new approach in developing strategic partnerships is a way to deal with this. Still, changing the way of working requires a challenging shift in mindset, to start using theories of change as living documents, and not as alternative results frameworks, and to focus on measuring outcomes versus outputs.
The lunch meeting underscored that security and rule of law reform is a challenging process, and that developing new ways to measure the effects of investments in this sector is high on the policy agenda. These new ways should focus on learning, testing assumptions and doing justice to the challenges of working on security and rule of law, to counter inflated ambitions, and enable substantiated choices to focus long-term efforts on a limited number of cases.

We planned the wedding from Florida and it was excellent from day 1 all up to the day of the event. Jane the events manager is the dream wedding planner. She went above and beyond and we couldn't ask for more. My only suggestion to guests is to plan for less people during the evening buffet. The staff was excellent and the renovations are grand. I highly recommend it! I can't wait to visit the hotel and their lovely staff in the future!

No.121 Squadron was the second 'Eagle' squadron, manned by American volunteers. It was formed at Kirton-in-Lindsey, and was initially equipped with Hurricanes. Defensive patrols began in October 1941, and the Spitfire arrived in the following month. In December the squadron moved to North Weald, and in February 1942 began to fly offensive fighter sweeps over Northern France.
The squadron was involved in the 'Channel Dash' - the successful German attempt to move the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau from French waters back to Germany early in 1942. The squadron was meant to have escorted the Swordfish that made a gallant but unsuccessful attack on the German ships, but were unable to join up with the attack force in advance. Instead they arrived after the attack was over, and became involved in a battle with the German escort fighters. In August 1942 the squadron was one of 48 Spitfire squadrons to be involved in Operation Jubilee, the disastrous raid on Dieppe.
During 1942 the Americans put a great deal of pressure on the British to return the 'Eagle Squadrons' to USAAF control, and on 29 September 1942 No.121 Squadron became the 335th Fighter Squadron, 4th Fighter Group.

Winning at the slowest possible speed is an old racing philosophy espoused to great effect by Alain Prost in his Formula 1-conquering days, so there's some irony in how last season he watched a Formula E rival put it into practice.
The Renault Z.E.15 was the pick of the powertrains in the first season of open motor/gearbox/inverter competition, and the evolutionary Z.E.16 kept the Prost/Jean-Paul Driot-run Renault e.dams team atop the pack in performance terms. But Lucas di Grassi and Abt Audi Sport, with a sprinkling more Audi assistance than before, managed to steal the title at the final round... despite being slower throughout most of the season.
