The New Porsche 911 GT3 With Touring Package
June 16th, 2021	by Rich Liebig
A high-performance athlete that does not show off about its talent, and loves understatement: that is the new Porsche 911 GT3 with Touring package. The seventh edition of the powerful GT car can now be ordered with the equipment package that proved extremely popular for its predecessor.
This purist and powerful 375 kW (510 PS; 911 GT3: fuel consumption combined 13.3 – 12.4 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined 304 – 283 g/km) 911 GT3 with a weight of just 1,418 kilograms is delivered with a six-speed GT sports gearbox as standard. For the first time, the Touring package can also be combined with the seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission at no extra cost.
The exterior's most conspicuous difference is the omission of the fixed rear wing of the 911 GT3. The necessary downforce at high speeds and even more understatement are guaranteed by an automatically extending rear spoiler. Silver-coloured trim strips made of high-gloss anodised aluminium on the side windows are another distinguishing feature that underline the newcomer's discreet appearance. The front end is painted completely in the exterior colour. The interior, with extended leather items in Black, is particularly elegant and is available exclusively for the GT3 with Touring package. The front of the dashboard and the upper side sections of the door trim panels have special surface embossing.
The name 'Touring package' goes back to an equipment variant of the 911 Carrera RS from the 1973 model year. Back then, the focus was already on purist 911 design and elements of a classic interior. Porsche revived the idea again in 2017, and for the first time again offered a Touring package for the previous generation of the 911 GT3, the Type 991. Since then, this variant has appealed above all to lovers of top-class sports cars with a pronounced passion for understatement and classic driving pleasure.
The exterior and interior details
A rear lid grille with the 'GT3 touring' logo in unique design is located over the high-revving engine. The trim strips of the side windows and the tailpipes of the sports exhaust system are silver-coloured. These elements are finished in satin-gloss Black in the optional Touring package. The front light modules are dark-tinted in this case.
The 911 GT3 with Touring package also offers the atmosphere of a classic sports car in the interior. The steering wheel rim, gear/selector lever, cover of the centre console, armrests in the door panels and the door handles are covered in black leather. The partial leather interior features black stitching. The seat centre panels are covered with black fabric, and the roofliner is also black. The head restraints bear embossed Porsche Crests. The door entry guards and trim elements on the dashboard and centre console are made of brushed black aluminium.
Porsche also offers almost all the optional equipment for the 911 GT3 in combination with the Touring package. This includes all exterior and wheel colours, LED headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System and Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus, various assist systems, PCCB ceramic braking system, the lift system on the front axle, all seat variants, the Chrono package and the audio systems.
Chronograph from Porsche Design
Porsche Design also offers a very special chronograph for customers of the 911 GT3 with Touring package. The timepiece features a movement with flyback function. The winding rotor evokes the vehicle's wheel design and is available in six different versions corresponding to the vehicle configuration. The dial bezel in Agate Grey Metallic is based on the vehicle's paint finish. The dial itself has a matte black finish, while the luminous yellow chronograph hands match the colour of the rev counter. The chronograph 911 GT3 with Touring package is worn with a strap made of Porsche vehicle leather with 'GT3' embossing. The black decorative stitching with Porsche vehicle thread adds a finishing touch to the strap. The chronograph is produced by the company's own Swiss watchmaking factory and is exclusively reserved for GT3 owners.
With know-how from motorsport: the Porsche 911 GT3
With the seventh edition of this high-performance sports car, Porsche has transferred racing technology to a production model more systematically than ever before: the double-wishbone front suspension as well as the uncompromising aerodynamics with swan-neck rear wing – excluded from the Touring package – and striking diffuser originate from the successful 911 RSR GT racing car, and the 375 kW (510 PS) 4.0-litre six-cylinder boxer engine is based on the drive unit of 911 GT3 R tried and tested in endurance racing.
Despite a wider body, larger wheels and additional technical features, the weight of the new GT3 is on a par with its predecessor. It weighs 1,418 kg with the manual transmission and 1,435 kg with the Porsche dual-clutch transmission (PDK). The carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) bonnet, lightweight glass windows and forged alloy wheels exemplify the focus on weight-saving, as does the lightweight sports exhaust system.
Its racing genes are expressed in practically all the details of the new 911 GT3. The cockpit is equipped with a track screen for the first time: at the push of a button, the digital displays on the left and right of the central rev counter are reduced to the essential information on tyre and oil pressure, oil and coolant temperature and fuel tank fill level. The 911 GT3 has an easily accessible Mode switch on the steering wheel. This facilitates fast switching between Normal settings and the customisable Sport and Track modes.
The Touring package can now also be ordered through Porsche Conshohocken as an option at no extra charge.

India says no consensus to permit holding of SAARC Summit
BL New Delhi Bureau | January 6 | Updated on: Jan 06, 2022
China constructing bridge on Pangong lake in areas illegally occupied by it, says MEA
India has indicated its unwillingness to attend the SAARC Summit that Pakistan has offered to host as it believes that ``there is no consensus'' that would permit the holding of the Summit.
"We have seen media reports regarding the Pakistani Foreign Minister's remarks about SAARC Summit. You are aware of the background as to why the SAARC Summit has not been held since 2014. There has been no material change in the situation. Therefore, there is still no consensus that would permit the holding of the Summit," MEA Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said at a press briefing on Thursday.
Bagchi was answering queries on reports that Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi had offered to host the SAARC summit and had said that India could attend the meet virtually if in-person participation was not possible.
The 19th SAARC Summit, which was scheduled in Islamabad in November 2016, had to be called off as New Delhi refused to attend it following Uri terror attacks.
According to media reports, Qureshi blamed India for making SAARC, which includes Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Maldives, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, dysfunctionalbecause of its ``stubborness''.
There is also lack of clarity over what the status of Afghanistan would be in the group after it was taken over by militant group Taliban last year.
On reports about a bridge being made by the Chinese side on Pangong lake in Ladakh, Bagchi said that the government has been monitoring this activity closely. "This bridge is being constructed in areas that have been under illegal occupation by China for around 60 years now. As you are well aware India has never accepted such illegal occupation," he said.

(13586) Copenhagen ist ein Asteroid des Hauptgürtels, der am 9. Oktober 1993 von dem belgischen Astronomen Eric Walter Elst am La-Silla-Observatorium der Europäischen Südsternwarte in Chile (IAU-Code 809) entdeckt wurde.

Der Asteroid gehört zur Eos-Familie, einer Gruppe von Asteroiden, welche typischerweise große Halbachsen von 2,95 bis 3,1 AE aufweisen, nach innen begrenzt von der Kirkwoodlücke der 7:3-Resonanz mit Jupiter, sowie Bahnneigungen zwischen 8° und 12°. Die Gruppe ist nach dem Asteroiden (221) Eos benannt. Es wird vermutet, dass die Familie vor mehr als einer Milliarde Jahren durch eine Kollision entstanden ist.

(13586) Copenhagen wurde am 29. August 2015 nach Kopenhagen benannt, der Hauptstadt Dänemarks.

★★☆☆☆ Manic
Assembly Roxy: Wed 6 – Sat 9 Dec 2017
Review by Joe Christie
Despite inventive direction and committed performances, The Grads struggle to navigate the tonal quagmire of Craig Lucas' bizarre Christmas caper, Reckless.
The play, written in 1983 and made into a 1995 movie, starts during a Christmas Eve blizzard in Connecticut, where the relentlessly optimistic Rachel discovers that her husband has put out a hit on her – forcing her to flee her home in nothing but dressing gown and slippers.
Stewart Kerr and Kerri Clarence. Pic: Lunaria Ltd
In an act of seasonal goodwill, Rachel is taken in by social worker Lloyd and his paraplegic wife Pooty. They conspire to forge a new identity for Rachel, finding her a new job and becoming a surrogate family for her. But she remains a marked woman, and, soon finding herself on the road again, she begins to unravel.
Through the course of Rachel's journey, the play takes many an extended detour: at one moment, Reckless is a game show pastiche; at another, a Kafkaesque satire set in an office. In its most dated and uncomfortable moments, it's an acerbic look at caring for family with disabilities.
The issue with such a freewheeling plot is that the jet-black comedy lacks a solid grounding—as an audience member, you are never sure who the target of the joke is, or where your sympathies should lie. Is the play making fun of the cloying American sentimentalism that surrounds the holidays? Or is it lampooning the naiveté of characters who are buying into it?
David Grimes' production dives head-first into the quirks of the script, aided and abetted by an energetic and talented ensemble who gamely commit themselves to all the bizarro twists and turns. However, there seems to be a loose grasp on how to mine the irony and darkness that underpins the play's wacky surface.
genuinely unsettling
It makes for a jarring back half when events take a turn for the worse. A well-staged sequence on a chat show set is genuinely unsettling, but it seems drafted in from another play entirely.
A scene from Reckless Pic Lunaria Ltd
Kerri Clarence has excellent presence in the lead role, and responds skilfully to the barrage of scene partners launched at her from all sides of the auditorium.
It is a shame that Rachel's saccharine characterisation, demanded in part by the script, limits Clarence from finding more dimensions and variety in her character. A touch more grit may have made the pathos more successful and raised the emotional stakes.
Clarence is one of many solid performers in a large ensemble. Other stand-outs include Stewart Kerr as Lloyd, who brings specificity to his archetypical all-American suburban gentleman; Gordon Houston's prances around the stage with perfect smarm as game show host Tim Timko; and veteran Grads actor Wendy Mathison's stream of doctors provide a crescendo of absurdity. Her drawn-out, invasive clinical questionnaire into Rachel's mental state is one of the evening's highlights.
The strongest element here is Grimes' inventive in-the-round staging. While this set-up can often feel gimmicky, it works a treat for the madcap journey Rachel finds herself on. There are some lovely stage images crafted using the additional depth and perspectives.
J. Gordon Hughes' tactile lighting design compliments the blocking well, and keeps the performance rattling along. Perhaps it was the specific tracks chosen, but the use of minor-key, 'alternative' versions of Christmas songs was a rare technical misjudgment, coming off as a touch juvenile.
There is also great attention to detail in the production design. Of particular note is the winking use of confetti snow, or the clever placement of a transportable lantern in the retro television. The consistent quality of Gillian Burnett's props and Angela Harkness-Robertson's costumes is impressive; with extra credit going to Harkness-Robertson for a strong turn on-stage, too.
With Reckless, The Grads offer up a slick, considered production of a flawed work; and where it might not be the subversive antidote to festive schmaltz it seeks to be, the energy and enthusiasm expounded in this production are very much in the spirit of the season.

I haven't seen this production, but I don't understand why this has only got two stars, when the review, apart from the first paragraph, lists more positives than negatives, especially regarding individual performances.

ESCAPE GAMES: New Business Offers Interactive Puzzle Challenges (The Herald Sun)
By Cliff Bellamy
The Herald-Sun | Bernard Thomas
DURHAM — Remember the 1990s? Knowledge of the decade might help you navigate the first problem-solving game at Bull City Escape, but immersion in the decade is not necessary to participate in the game, said Alice Cheung, owner of the business that opens Friday, June 5 at 711 Iredell St. in the Ninth Street business district.
Teams of two to six people get 60 minutes to search clues, solve puzzles and look for codes to the key that will allow them to escape from the room. The theme of the first game is the 1990s, and the space has paraphernalia from the decade — Furbies, calendars and magazines from the decade, posters of Boys II Men and the Spice Girls, and videos of "Independence Day," "Sleepless in Seattle" and other movies from the era.
Bull City Escape (bullcityescape.com) describes itself as "an interactive, real-life escape game," recommended for families, companies and groups, and puzzle enthusiasts. Participants can solve the escape puzzles as a team-building exercise, or just for fun.
The Herald-Sun | Bernard Thomas (L. to R.) Briles Johnson, Melissa Terrell and Zaina Robinson are looking for clues that will allow them to escape, at Bull City Escape.
Cheung played her first escape game about a year ago, and "I loved it immediately," she said. She has played games in spaces in different cities, all with varied themes — a pirate theme in San Francisco, an office theme in Philadelphia, a warehouse theme in Birmingham.
As she played the games, she began wondering, "If I designed it, what would I do differently?" and the idea for Bull City Escape emerged.
Cheung keeps a notebook with her in which she brainstorms ideas for puzzles and future themes. Future escape room themes might be a mad scientist scenario, or a combination murder mystery with a "Downton Abbey" feel, Cheung said.
Cheung, who will mark her second year in Durham this summer, thinks Durham is an ideal fit for this kind of business and activity. There's "such a quirky and brainy population here. They're so open to new ideas," Cheung said. She has lived in different cities, but "no place has felt like home quicker than Durham."
She mentions The Scrap Exchange as one example of Durham's creativity. She also credits American Underground for nurturing entrepreneurs, and the city's support for small businesses.
Before opening the business, she attended seminars on small businesses at Durham Technical Community College, and worked closely with the non-profit Women's Business Center of North Carolina-Durham, which she called an "incredible" resource for new businesses.
Bull City Escape's Ninth Street area location was perfect. "I gave up square footage for location," Cheung said of the space. "I love that we're surrounded by small businesses."
Employees at the Women's Business Center helped her to test the escape room and game. Members of the center also will participate in a group-building game at the Friday opening. The game will be both a team-building exercise and a way to help Cheung grow her business, said Briles Johnson, executive director of the center. Johnson said she had never participated in this kind of game before, "which is another reason why it is very intriguing and exciting."
Cheung studied psychology and education in school, and brings that knowledge to bear when designing puzzles and games. "All of the puzzles are designed for different kinds of intelligence, so everyone in the group can contribute something," she said. "The most successful teams are the ones that bring those different kinds of intelligence" to the problems, she said.
People who want to play one of the games can show up individually, or as a group. Cheung recommends reserving a time on Bull City Escape website.
Cheung said she is open to talking to groups about new themes and game ideas. Looking ahead, one of her dreams is to have a larger space, and perhaps multiple themes in different spaces in Durham.
Escape games are "an immersive entertainment," Cheung said. "You're not just absorbing something from a screen. … You're fully present with your team members and you're working toward a goal" of solving the puzzle.

Ripper suspect: James Maybrick
Remember back when we were discussing Montague John Druitt and we learned it's bad luck to have died shortly after the Ripper murders were "finished"? James Maybrick, a Liverpool cotton merchant, had some of that same luck, except "died" doesn't quite fit here. His wife was convicted of his murder and sentenced to death.
Florence Chandler was 18 when she met 42-year-old Maybrick on a sea voyage to Liverpool. It lasted six days, which was long enough for the couple to go from strangers to being engaged. They married in 1881 and had two children by 1886. He had multiple mistresses; she had at least one affair. He sickened suddenly in late April 1889 and died 15 days later. The inquest declared it was arsenic poisoning. Florence became the key suspect.
The trial was sensational, especially since this was an American woman, and the judge's conduct in particular likely led to her death sentence being commuted to life in prison. In 1904 the case was reexamined and Florence was released. She was the more interesting Maybrick until 1992, when "the Ripper diary" hit headlines.
The provenance of the book is confusing, especially since the story has changed a few times. The contents aren't really any more enlightening, since the author of the diary never gives his own name. He claims responsibility for the murders of the Canonical Five, as well as two others. And apparently this anonymous author is supposed to be James Maybrick.
The "diary" surfaced in 1992 and has been subjected to multiple tests to determine whether the ink could have been used in 1888. The book itself is less controversial, since the binding and the pages are apparently of the correct vintage, but someone could have found the book and then written the story themselves much later. Some of the details "the Ripper" provides about the murders are inaccurate, but align with oft-repeated parts of the story that someone who was not the Ripper might have heard in the decades since. In fact, the owner of the diary made a statement in 1995 that his wife actually wrote the diary while he dictated. (His solicitor submitted a repudiation of this affidavit, and then he withdrew the repudiation. Just to make things even more confusing.)
The idea seems to be that James Maybrick embarked on the murders as a reaction to his wife's infidelities, even though it seems that she only began her affair after he had continually cheated on her with multiple women. I suppose we can counter these double standards by arguing that she murdered him when she found out he was murdering other people, even though a twenty-first inquiry into the case revealed that Maybrick was taking multiple medications at the time of his death, most of which were poisonous. It's highly unlikely Florence Maybrick killed her husband, and it's also highly unlikely that James Maybrick was Jack the Ripper.
But the diary isn't the only piece of evidence that surfaced naming the previously unsuspected Maybrick. In 1993, a year after the diary was presented to the world, a man named Albert Johnson bought an antique pocket watch with a strange etching inside. Someone had scratched in the initials of the Canonical Five women (not including the two unidentified women from the diary), James Maybrick's signature, and the words "I am Jack." Separate examinations determined that the scratches were not recent – say, if someone had come across the diary story in 1992 and decided to fake them on an true antique watch – but the timing is still puzzling. If Maybrick was a Ripper "nobody" until the diary surfaced in 1992 because it reached the hands of a new owner, how coincidental is it that the pocket watch also changed hands and came to light a year later?
The diary made a splash in the 1990s with books arguing both for and against its authenticity, but it – and James Maybrick – has been largely dismissed by those studying the case. If the Ripper had left a diary for us to find, that would have been big news indeed – even bigger if he'd gotten all the details right and actually signed his name. But the diary goes the way of the shawl and the letters: an interesting splash for experts to argue over, but ultimately not the key to unlock the mystery.
Have you heard about the Ripper diary and the pocket watch? What did you think when you first learned about them? (Does Jack the Ripper strike you as the type to keep a diary in the first place?)

Joseph Friscia says:
It was James Maybrick.
C.P. says:
I have had an inkling it was Maybrick since the first few years of this century. I found him on a website which mentioned his alleged diary. I later found that his supposed pocket watch found revealed by a man named Alfred Johnson, with Maybrick's supposed initials with 'I am Jack' and the initials of all five victims. For years I had been in the belief it was he who committed the murders and read 'The Diary of Jack the Ripper' and a future corresponding book called 'Ripper Diary.' It seemed like it could have been truly real, and I still believe it can't be dismissed as evidence. However, the diary can also look less convincing to people for the following reasons: 1) the From Boss letter, the Saucy Jacky postcard and the From Hell letter do not seem to fit the handwriting of the diary (even if the From Hell letter may have been written by killer himself, citing there was a kidney with it in a box sent to George Lusk)and it is not known if any of the letters fit his handwriting, 2) Maybrick's age was that of 50 at the time of the murders and typical suspects fit between the ages of 35 and 40, 3) he didn't seem to fit the model of a suspect with a minor or no public education as a suspect here would, 4) Charles Lechmere's (aka Charles Cross) discovery of the body so quickly after the murder makes it seem like the killer 'found' the body first and 5) Maybrick was addicted to Arsenic which later kill him the following year, though it was suggested to be accidental, as diarist admitted to giving up arsenic before then. However, here are some other reasons people will believe the diary: 1) his family crest said 'Time reveals all', 2) his brother Michael, under the pseudonym Stephen Adams, was a known Victorian composer wrote such songs as 'The Holy City' and 'We All Love Jack,' 3) he was once married to a woman who had a connection to the East End and was said to have had a mistress in Whitechapel, 4) the letter 'M' was on the person of three of the victims, Chapman (2, on an envelope), Eddowes (4, on at least one of her eyelids) and Kelly (5, on the wall beside her bed), but especially Kelly because of the letters 'FM', indicating the initials of Maybrick's own wife Florie, 5) the suspicious sounding behavior of the father of future suspect J.K. Stephen, who was the judge in case against Florie for allegedly killing her husband, through which he turned on her where she got the death penalty (which was commuted in 1904), fulfilling the prediction made by the diarist about Florie 'suffering', 6) the mentioning if the cigarette case at the sight of the body of Eddowes, which, like the 'FM' initials, was not revealed to the public until 1987 and 6) the fact that Michael Barrett seemed too uneducated to create the diary, thus indicating that it could either be called a forgery shortly after 1987 or a genuine article after all. But my summation is that Maybrick had to have written the diary, but one can deduce that the arsenic may have made him think he was the killer if he is not.

Octavio Irving: a fresh breath in Cuban engraving
By: Ricardo Alberto Pérez
Although Octavio Irving, born in Santa Clara in 1978, seems to have chosen the engraving as the main expressive medium, the richness of its artistic thought goes far beyond what can grant this set of techniques; for that reason, in his case, the processes leading up to the execution of the pieces play an unusual role. it seems like it's dealing with forms, as if this kind of game could lead to solving a puzzle over.
His art can be understood as a kind of filter or decanter agent, which tracks the sense; and the dimensions he need to project his works. He shows as well aware of the site in which it is, and with that lucidity, he is subjecting his works to very specific tensions linked to details that he uses to refer to larger structures such as cities, the country and the imaginary.
From object seems to care enough its historicity, its "weight" or "lightness", when it is inserted into a particular story. That way he shall keep a test or a x-ray, from which the elections is made. These objects are usually connected with the social vision, and have a role in the recent life of the island.
The absence of color as a disturbing detail, atmospheres that firing memory, forking lines with a little suggestion, and resume the longing of a subjectivity that can be received with deep nourishing effect.The visual effect is pointing to a complex beauty that contains various hues, and it offering to the mind of the viewer abundant possibilities of enjoyment. At this point it seem to be fulfilled his own words: "We still need zones of silence and contemplation, meditation and reflection."
That is, the creation as calm and meditation, but with an activity that continues in the interior of beings and things. An antagonism that accelerate mutations, so the maze of evolution not stop surprise us in their sudden explosions. Just this breath that comes from the depth of events is perceived in many of his pieces.
The work of Irving seems to be catalyzed by the permanence of fixed ideas and obsessions; hence one of the most visible marks on his works is his constant return to conflicts and recycled and reassessed materials in the course of time. An artist with these characteristics, usually tends to pursuit the perfection; It does not like to leave any unfinished idea or let loose ends, he subjects each process to a particular rigor, in terms of content and form. .
Another mark that tends to make its pieces be singulars is its tendency to believe in the deconstruction. Thus he introduced into phenomena consciously structured by the Cuban and universal art; and dismantles some established meanings, to decongestant the symbolic of various representations very specific. This approach is highly appreciated by many viewers as it helps to unlock and clarify the flow of information that has been contaminated by the almost mimetic manipulation that has been exerted on it.
As for formal questions, above all, highlighted in his work a sharing between the abstract and the figurative; from there seems born and developed his poetic. Of that promiscuity between two ways of conceiving the visual activity several attitudes are derived at the time of assuming the completion of each piece. In this trance they get their own spirit and freedom to express themselves in every way. This mixture helps to give a feeling of antiquity playful, or aging, caused from the agile transit to memory; and obtaining at the end the effect of novelty.
The photograph as reference material appears to provide multiple possibilities. The urban is content by a radical minimalism that localized the intense expressionism emerging from a spontaneous activity that represents live one day after another. If suddenly we stand before these pictures that Octavio typically calls Landscaping, we begin to unravel what he moves to take many of its projects. These pictures shows clearly the subjectivity that has been built in art for long periods of time.
These landscapes not only show us poverty as an immediate reality; but as a very special opportunity to reinvent ourselves from the austere. Here abstraction breaks as the indelible imprint of a lived time, and can produce the incantation we know about the fabrics of Anselm Kiefer.
Be in front of a sketchbook of Octavio Irving can be very stimulating and helpful in understanding the cares of the rest of his work. At this stage it is appreciated more spontaneously and directly his contact with some aspects of reality. Charcoal represents a striking intensity, represents the impulses that suddenly transforms the rhetorical ideas that one usually has on different objects apparently overcome by its utility. He speaks of them in revealing terms; he injects them a new perspective and invites us to rotate along with them in a kind of carousel.
Among the closest objects to his work we found the boat, and embarkations derivative of it; visibly hardened by his imagination. These are signals connected very strongly with the social dynamics of our island. Just, the intend is based on the idea that these new boats merges in other locations, they hold more salt than others hangovers tied to the rhetoric of a political art; and especially a background that makes us think of distant times. Boats around their structures, affiliated to the contact of timber with the water, and a more classic expression of forms.
To name one of its series he uses the term emerging Architecture (2012); entering into a relationship with language that allows him to cover more than one sense and realize a so-called obsessions that lurk him; it is precisely its relationship with the urban space and the desire to act in the state of crisis, and fragmentation. Here is a very intimate question, which has to do with his perception, this amazing ability to go in detail and subtract it, to be shown as another reality. He said: "In this rope I really like the engraving: Havana has everything, has spots (2012)", which undoubtedly; in his tone bears much resemblance to features that we already appreciated in photographs.
Octavio Irving engravings have the ability of oxygenate and create multiple interpretations that in our art have become in slogans almost sterile. He feels attracted to the experimenting with the variations of color, and shape, so very demanding, and ongoing dialogue with the tradition of this technique, provoking at the end an indisputable delight. Inter-places the desire to dissolve territoriality, getting a wide range of fictions that provide a conceptual complexity to his works.
His most recent exhibition Symptoms of permanence, displayed on a collateral expo to the Eighth National Engraving Meeting; in the open space of the magazine Revolution and Culture in the past year 2013; confirms the zeal and righteousness assumed front of his work, the ability to dive into memory on the territory of the piece, so that it can suck, and fatten their corpus in its total explosion of desire.

Do Coffee Kill Fish
written by iupilon December 26, 2021 55 views
Little research into the environmental impacts of dispersed caffeine in aquatic systems has been done. However, caffeine is becoming more ubiquitous in the environment; the fish's ability to breathe underwater would never be the same in these kinds of liquids, which would make it difficult for them to survive.
Fish can breathe underwater due to a combination of salt and osmotic pressure adaptations and the evolution of their gills as a physical structure. Fish developed gills, which are feathery organs covered in blood veins, to overcome this problem and take advantage of the oxygen contained in water.
Fish may take in the dissolved oxygen in the water that they gulp from their mouths. This is how all aquatic life, including fish, breathes intensely.
Coffee is an alkaloid found in various plants, including coffee plants. Methylxanthines, including tea, coffee, and chocolate, make up this group of chemicals. Due to its outstanding solubility and moderate breakdown rate, caffeine can be biomagnified via the food chain in aquatic environments.
Caffeine dissolved in water can accumulate over time, even a tiny amount. Caffeine's presence in sewage has indeed been documented for more than two decades.
In some coffee-filled aquariums, ammonia concentrations rose dramatically when caffeine was added to the system. It didn't take long for these ammonia concentrations to reach dangerous levels for the fish.
Byproducts of their metabolism like ammonia are further converted to nitrates by nitrifying microorganisms in the complex biological cycle of caffeine, which is decomposed by such bacterium species.
Is Coffee Good for Fish?
The presence of ammonia in coffee is a telltale sign that it was improperly stored. It's possible that fish and other aquatic species could be affected by a high ammonia level in a caffeinated environment.
In the roasting process, coffee beans are heated to high temperatures, which releases aromatic oils, some of which have pleasant odors like fruity, corn chip-like flavors that tasters sometimes characterize as woody, musty, or burnt popcorn aroma notes. This can create an unwelcome environment in your aquarium if your fish are put together.
This is a sign that the beans have been over-roasted, which can cause the coffee to smell like feces. A coffee with a thicker consistency that tastes bitter or burnt can be produced by over-cooking coffee.
Roasting coffee beans at high temperatures activates the bean's natural oils, resulting in a distinct aroma for each roast style. There are more fatty natural oils in darker roasts, and when they are burned, they provide a disagreeable flavor.
Coffee grounds are rich in magnesium, potassium, and other minerals, which is why coffee has a poop-like fragrance. You can avoid this flavor by purchasing coffee that has been roasted less frequently.
A strong odor like ammonia can indicate that coffee has been improperly stored. The ammonia-like scent is frequently produced by moisture seeping into the coffee beans.
A wet or moist coffee machine will also produce an ammonia-like smell since the compounds in ammonia are susceptible to the air. However, by following the manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning your coffee maker, you can ensure that it does not emit that 'wet' odor.
What Food Can Kill a Fish?
Fish can die from a range of natural and artificial factors—from old age or suffocation or lousy weather or predation or toxic algae. Therefore, a thorough investigation is required when vast numbers of fish of various sizes have been discovered dead over an extended time.
Through the sheer walls of the fish's blood vessels, they may take in the dissolved oxygen in the water that they gulp from their mouths. Many aquatic organisms, including fish, use this method of respiration.
Ammonia is formed when fish excrete waste. Microorganisms break down ammonia in a filtration tank, and nitrites are formed. When ammonia levels rise, fish will perish.
Other bacteria break down the nitrites into nitrates. Each of these chemicals is less hazardous to the fish as it goes along. However, having too many fishes in the tank will make it impossible for the filter to carry enough bacteria to deal with the waste.
Poisoning may be to blame if you simultaneously find multiple dead fish in your aquarium. Household toxins killing fish include insecticide and paint emissions, cleaning product fumes, tobacco smoke, and even cooking oil.
The health of your fish depends on a proper balance of nutrients and careful attention to what you put in and take out of the tank. In addition, your fish may be poisoned by pesticide residue on your skin if you touch your aquariums.
Is Tea Poisonous to Fish?
As tea is mostly water, fish may find equivalent oxygen levels in various liquids, such as water. As a result, the fish's bodies would be unable to tolerate the molecular levels of other compounds in the water, and the amounts would be too high for them to handle.
A well-established tank has a solid bacterial culture that can handle the amount of waste produced by fish, and the fish are not overfed. Then the tank is cleaned by someone who removes the bacteria from the digestive tract. Nobody is flushing the tank now that it's turned into a toilet.
Osmotic balance is highly tightly controlled in fish. Still, if they suddenly find themselves in an environment with significantly different solute concentrations, their cells would either inflate to the point of bursting or empty, resulting in cell death.
In some cases, fish may be capable of surviving for an extended time and behave normally when they are reintroduced to a water-filled aquarium. However, a fish can swiftly die from asphyxia or other unpleasant consequences when exposed to other liquids.
Anecdotal experience from at-home tests and general knowledge about the requirements for fish respiration implies that most fish would not sustain in liquids other than fresh water for a longer duration. Likewise, fin-flapping companions would suffer if the drink was not well tested, balanced, and adjusted to mimic pond, lake, or stream water.

I love doing crafts with my daughter, it's a fun way to learn and spend some time together. Moreover crafting and making give us a sense of accomplishment and this will help build your child's self-esteem.
So here is a small tutorial on how to transform a Pringles tube into a chic vintage style storage box.
Apply some glue on your Pringles tube and roll it over a tissue paper (remember to cut the tissue paper the same size as the Pringles tube).
My daughter had fun doing this. I gave her a paintbrush to apply the glue to the box, also rolling the box over the tissue paper was really fun for her too. Use enough tissue paper to wrap twice around the tube.
Now cut a few shapes using your scrapbook paper. Glue and decorate.
Cut some paper the size of your lid and glue around. It can be a bit messy but my daughter enjoys glueing.
Glue a few buttons, add the ribbon and voila your Vintage style Storage box is ready.
We are using this to store her drawing crayons, however, I really liked the idea so I'm making one to store my craft materials.
Hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Have fun and stay in touch.


I used a 60 angstrom water droplet to solvate my system.
"increase NMCATM = 12000 to something bigger in c33b2/source/fcm/dimens.fcm"
However, I could not find related file in Charmm version 39b2. Any suggestion to solve this problem? Thank you very much.
Do you solve this problem now? Can you tell me what the command you increase? Thanks a lot! I increase "dimension chsize 900000" but the warning ("maximum number of table atoms exceeded") still exist.
The file you need to change is source/ltm/dimens_ltm.src and then issue the same install.com command as when CHARMM was installed.
I follow your indication. And my charmm version is 42b2. Firstly, I modify the ../charmm/source/ltm/dimens_ltm.src (" NMCATM = 999999"). Then, I backed to the ../charmm file and performed command "./install.com gnu M". But the error still exit. Where was my performence wrong? Thanks a lot for your replying.
The error message suggests either a problem with your build process, or that you are using a different executable than the one you just built to run your script.
So, is the error (maximum number of table atoms exceeded) related to the .pot file? And how is the .pot file generated?
This is my input files and script. Thanks for helping me.

Whether you see the 2014 BMW X6 as beautiful, bizarre, or idiosyncratic, chances are you noticed it. And that, perhaps, was one of the main hopes of BMW when conceiving the X6, which has broken through as a true genre-bender in many (mostly successful) ways.
With its head-turning design on the outside, the X6 takes a mashup of form factors and somehow turns them into a cohesive design. It doesn't quite have the smooth, born-to-be-that-way silhouette of the Audi A7, but it does look complete and at ease. Above the beltline, the X6 is graceful, even athletic, with coupe- and fastback-like properties in its curves. Below the beltline, it's the opposite; tall, somewhat off-road-flavored SUV cues dominate. For some, the combination is too visually incongruous, or simply too weird. For others, it's an acquired taste that improves with time and familiarity. Still others love the X6 on sight. Dress the X6 up in X6 M guise, and it's even more striking, and perhaps even more controversial--what's a crossover doing looking like a supercar?
Inside, the X6's design is conventional, with elegantly contoured surfaces outfitted in tasteful, even classic, color schemes and rich materials. The layout itself is perhaps more sedan-like than you might expect for an SUV-like vehicle, particularly the high-mounted center console--and the tight back seat.
BMW's excellent outgoing X5 platform is what underpins the X6 and makes it so magnetic. The standard X6, the xDrive35i, gets a 3.0-liter turbocharged in-line six-cylinder under the hood, rated at 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque. That's plenty of power, but not really enough to seem truly quick for a vehicle of this size. The X6 xDrive50i, however, gets a 400-horsepower, 400 pound-foot 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine that motivates the X6 with more than mere adequacy. Step up to the X6 M's 555-horsepower output from a similar twin-turbo V-8 engine, and you have all you could ask for and then some. There's good steering feel and surprisingly little body roll, and the handling is quite carlike. While it's no standout in handling or ride if cars are your benchmark, considering its massive tires, stiff suspension, and electronic controls, the X6 M does do things no utility or crossover should--and does them with apparent ease.
Much in the same way as those first impressions go, you're likely to find the X6 the perfect lifestyle vehicle at some times, and perhaps infuriatingly impractical at others. The front seats are spacious and comfortable, while the rear seats are short on headroom and lack some of the features you'll find in the second row of more traditional SUVs. And while cargo area is good compared to a mid-sized sedan, the sloped roof impinges on the space available for larger items. And there are nearly 60 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seatbacks folded forward. It's all relative, right?
Safety features include driver and passenger dual-stage front airbags, front side airbags, head protection system (HPS), adaptive brake lights, active head restraints in the front seats, battery disconnect in the event of an accident, anti-theft alarm, and BMW Assist with Bluetooth. Neither the NHTSA nor the IIHS have crash-tested the BMW X6, though the structurally similar X5 scores top marks of "good" according to the IIHS.
As you'd expect from a BMW, the X6 offers almost all of the technology, equipment, and entertainment features you'll find on the market today. In addition to the optional upgrades, the X6 offers a strong set of standard features across all models, including: automatic climate control; push-button ignition; front and rear parking sensors; a 10-seaker audio system; 10-way adjustable power seats; dynamic cruise control; and more. Among the available add-on features, you'll find such convenience and high-tech items as: four-zone automatic climate control; real-time traffic; iDrive-based infotainment and navigation with BMW Apps support; Bluetooth connectivity; iPod and USB connections; a premium hi-fi audio system; six-disc DVD/CD changer; and more. Ticking every available box can yield a vehicle that's a veritable tour de force of gadgetry, but also one bearing a hefty price tag. The iDrive system, which contains and control all of the X6's higher functions (infotainment, navigation, audio, etc.), has grown significantly simpler and more intuitive in recent years, though it can still present a learning curve for new owners.

Rural banks in Ghana to join national payment system
The national electronic payment system, e-zwich, has moved to another phase with a roll out of its services to cover rural banks, Ghana Interbank Payment and Settlement Systems, (GhIPSS) has said in Accra Saturday December 13, 2008.
Since the launch of the project earlier this year, only the universal banks have been hooked to the platform but now the service has been extended to eight rural banks in the Ashanti, Central and Greater Accra regions.
The rural bank phase of the e-zwich roll out, which is being done by GhIPSS, in conjunction with the ARB Apex Bank, began on pilot basis with the Manya Krobo and Union Rural banks in the Eastern and Central regions respectively.
After successful completion of the pilot project, it is now been extended to cover six other rural banks, Nwabiagya, Sekyere Odotobri, Adansi, Atwima Kwanwoma and Amansie West rural banks in the Ashanti region.
Four other rural banks, Dangme, Ga, La Community and Abokobi in the Greater Accra region would be connected to the e-zwich platform.
Each of the rural banks has two of their branches also connected to the electronic platform.
The extension of the service will enable people in those areas to also enjoy the benefit of the e-zwich experience.
Mr. Archie Hesse, General Manger of GhIPSS in charge of Project and Business Development, told GNA that the roll out of the e-zwich services was being targeted at communities with vibrant economic activities including cocoa farming, and commerce.
He said plans were advanced to begin paying cocoa farmers in particular through e-zwich cards.
Mr Archie said when the four rural banks from the Greater Accra were fully connected, GhIPSS would move from one region to the other to ensure that as many rural banks as possible were connected to the e-zwich.
He said officials of the rural banks have been trained in order to issue the smart cards to their customers.
Mr Archie said that the rural banks will also have point of sales (POS) devices at their branches to enable customers to load money onto their cards, withdraw money from them as well as transfer money from the card to other people who also have the e-zwich card.

what effect will this have on the cash management practices of the rural banks?

I guess things are going to move faster than previously in the rural banks.
I think workers should be educated on the use and maintenance these equipment.

Ксаверівка () — селище в Україні, в Липовецькому районі Вінницької області. Населення становить 11 осіб.

Географічне положення

Село розташоване за 6 км від Вербівки, за 27 км від райцентру Липівця, за 56 км від обласного центру Вінниці і за 2 км від Погребищенського контейнерного заводу. До 1955 р. була в складі Плисківського району.

В околицях селища бере початок річка Соб, де створено гідрографічний заказник «Початок».

На сьогоднішній день залишилися камінні стіни складу панського маєтку і такі ж стіни колишнього будинку соцпобуту.

На заході від села бере початок  Безіменна річка, права притока Собі.

Історія
Назва поселення, яке знаходилось на місці Ксаверівки — хутір Шиманського.

Село отримало назву за другим іменем його власника генерала Козловського в середині XIX ст. До жовтневого перевороту тут була ферма, економія, після нього — радгосп по вирощуванню насіння цукрових буряків. Цей радгосп мав понад 300 жителів. Перед так званою колективізацією радгосп став відділенням Шпичинецького цукрового комбінату. Напередодні колективізації на хуторі Ксаверівка Зозівської сільської ради на 31 дворах числилося 63 жителі різних національностей (39 чоловіків і 24 жінки).

В Ксаверівському радгоспі вже в післяреволюційний час діяв партійний осередок, було багато партійних та радянських активістів. Вони мали вплив на села Погребищенського, Плисківського та Липовецького районів, в тому числі і на Вербівку.

У 1918 р. банди знищили близько половини жителів Ксаверівки. Знищили б усіх, але з Липівця виїхала міліція і ліквідувала частину банди, залишки якої врятувалися втечею. В Липовець про напад повідомив верхівець з Ксаверівки (телефона не було).

В довоєнні роки радгосп розвивався динамічно, вирощувалось насіння цукрового буряка, зернові культури. Робоча сила наймалася з ближчих сіл: Вербівки, Булаїв, Чапаєвки, Зозівки, Зозова та інших. Люди з цих сіл працювали по контракту. Хто працював в 1933 і 1934 роках в радгоспі — той вижив, тут годували, давали пайки.

Перепис 1939 р. у с. Ксаверівка Зозівської сільської Ради зафіксував 178 мешканців (80 чоловіків і 98 жінок). Як у попередні довоєнні роки, так і в післявоєнні на радгоспі діяла школа, яка мала 4 класи. Після її ліквідації у 1955 р. діти їздили до шкіл с. Олександрівки та Зозова. У радгоспі були приміщення для житла людей, будувалися квартири, власні будинки. На початку III тисячоліття залишилося лише 5 хат і 7 жителів.

Під час війни в радгоспі працювало багато радянських військовополоненних. З них сформувалося велике підпілля, яке надавало інформацію про події на фронтах і у світі. На чолі Ксаверівського підпілля став сам управитель О. А. Баліцький, якого після визволення села (12 березня 1944 р.) взяли на партійну роботу в Житомирську область.

В післявоєнне десятиліття відділення очолювали Мефодій Филимонович Гнатюк, Федір Петрович Зарва, Петро Маркіянович Небожак та інші управителі які часто мінялися.

У 1955 р. відділення у Ксаверівці підпорядкували Турбівському цукровому комбінату, а Шпичинецький цукровий комбінат був розформований. Ксаверівчани і по Турбівському цукрокомбінату займали призові місця. Вони вирощували великі врожаї, молока доїли по 15-20 літрів з корови, розвивався соціокультурний побут. Була висока культура землеробства. В результаті майже 300 жителів на цій території проживали в достатку.

В 1975 р. коли відділення було ліквідовано і передано Зозівецькому, а потім Вербівському колгоспу. З того часу стали втрачатися колишні передові позиції. Високопродуктивні корови при зміні умов за два роки були доведені до непродуктивності і здані на базу. Масово повиїжджали люди. Становище не врятувало і те, що за сприяння першого секретаря райкому КПУ М. С. Пасєки від Вербівки до Ксаверівки у 1980-ті роки провели дорогу з твердим покриттям. Нормальному життю заважало і те, що, належачи Вербівському колгоспу адміністративно і економічно, Ксаверівка була підпорядкована Зозівській сільській раді. Мало виграли сільчани і тоді, коли Ксаверівка згідно з рішенням облвиконкому від 11 грудня 1987 р. ввійшла до складу величезної сільради з центром у Зозівці. Лише з 1994 р. вона повністю перейшла під юрисдикцію Вербівської сільської ради.

12 червня 2020 року, розпорядження Кабінету Міністрів України № 707-р «Про визначення адміністративних центрів та затвердження територій територіальних громад Вінницької області», Богданівська сільська рада об'єднана з Липовецькою міською громадою.

17 липня 2020 року, в результаті адміністративно-територіальної реформи та ліквідації Липовецького району, село увійшло до складу Вінницького району.

Belief v. Belief: Resolving LGBTQ Rights Conflicts in the Religious Workplace
American Business Law Journal (IF1.533), Pub Date : 2019-02-26, DOI: 10.1111/ablj.12135
Elizabeth Brown, Inara Scott
Employment disputes are increasingly centered on the conflicting moral and religious values of corporations, their employees, and their customers. These conflicts are especially challenging when they involve the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) employees and customers contraposed against the religious beliefs of corporations and their owners. When religious values compete with civil rights in the employment context, a complex web of legal protections renders the outcome unclear. Conflicts over these competing rights can involve a number of broad, thorny legal disputes, including those concerning the First Amendment and Title VII, fights between secular and religious beliefs, and competition between religious beliefs and equal protection rights under the Fourteenth Amendment. This article illustrates the reasons for this growing tension between the beliefs of business owners and the beliefs of their employees. It explores recent conflicts between religion and rights in the workplace particularly in the context of LGBTQ rights, the ways in which state‐level regulation complicates these conflicts, and the potential impact of recent cases addressing these concerns. It also identifies examples of potential specific conflicts in the context of LGBTQ rights and suggests the principles that should guide the resolution of these cases, offering a framework for assessing the hierarchy that a court may use in resolving cases in which values conflict with rights in the workplace. Finally, it addresses some of the troubling implications that arise as a result of the resolution of the potential specific conflicts.
