PLUTA expert Gutmann finds investors for Alfeld-based newspaper and advertising journal distributor
30 July 2020 · Hildesheim · Business Area Insolvency Administration
Restructuring expert Mr Torsten Gutmann from PLUTA Rechtsanwalts GmbH has succeeded in finding investors for D & O Werbe- und Vertriebsservice GmbH. Effective 1 August 2020, publisher Funke Mediengruppe will take over the operations of the distribution company in Osterode. The Alfeld site will also be sold to an investor from Hanover on 1 August 2020. The parties involved have agreed not to disclose the purchase price. The agreements reached mean that all jobs have thereby been saved.
The parties have already signed the purchase agreements, which are subject to the approval of the creditors' assembly. At the last count, D & O Werbe- und Vertriebsservice GmbH employed 369 people. The buyer will keep on all 360 distribution staff employed at Osterode. These are mainly responsible for delivering various daily newspapers, such as the Harz Kurier. The company's head office and a warehouse were located at its Alfeld site. The investor from Hanover will provide jobs to the nine people last employed there within a newly founded company, which will focus on the regional advertising market in the future.
Business operations maintained without restriction
The Local Court of Hildesheim opened insolvency proceedings for the newspaper and advertising journal distributor on 1 July 2020 and appointed PLUTA restructuring expert Mr Torsten Gutmann as insolvency administrator. He had previously acted as provisional administrator for the company. He and his team, which includes attorney Mr Günther Hahn and economist Mr Jürgen Schendel, have kept the business fully operational, with stricter hygiene measures in place, ever since the company filed for insolvency in May 2020.
Restructuring expert Mr Gutmann is pleased with the investor solution that has been achieved: "In spite of the difficult economic situation at this time, my team and I have been able to find suitable investors. We held several discussions with the interested parties and decided on the best possible solution following thorough examination. Customers and employees have actively supported us in this. We would also like to thank managing director Mr K. Andreas Steinkrauß, who has been very committed throughout this as well and has helped us to achieve this positive outcome." The process of finding an investor was supported by management consultancy comes Unternehmensberatung GmbH & Co. KG.
Eckhard Deiters and Wolfgang Ott founded the Alfeld-based newspaper and advertising journal distributor in 1983. D & O Werbe- und Vertriebsservice GmbH had to file for insolvency in May 2020 due to liquidity problems.

When most ski resorts are packing up the winter operations, Lake Tahoe offers a solid spring ski season until June. Located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range straddling California and Nevada, Spring flurries continue to fall and to-date Lake Tahoe has received more than 15 feet of snow in March. It's where to ski this Spring and here are a few resorts to consider for your spring ski getaway.
When most resorts turn off the ski lift and turn on the hiking trails, Lake Tahoe is still tuning and waxing the skis. The spring season is a great time for one last ski getaway.
Warmer temperatures mean less bulky layers.
The softer snow gives skiers more control.
Resorts offer deals and specials on everything from lessons, next year's season passes and lodging for the late spring season.
With a dozen different ski resorts within an hour's drive, Lake Tahoe effortlessly offers what many consider the best terrain in the West. As a skiing destination for more than 100 years, Lake Tahoe's version of après ski includes casinos on the Nevada side.
As my go-to winter destination for over 20 years, I carve powder through a glade of the evergreens while grabbing glimpses of a pristine lake that never freezes. On a sunny day, the mountains sparkle as if they are covered in diamond dust. With 300 blue sky days annually, Lake Tahoe competes with the lake for the title of bluest.
Squaw Valley Ski Resort is the legendary Olympic resort that boasts almost 3,000 feet of vertical drop across 3,600 skiable acres with 170 trails. A bucket list skiing destination that draws Europeans as well as North Americans.
Part of Squaw's allure is its Old Tahoe vibe, the make-you-smile feeling that resonates today as much as it did 50 years ago. Squaw is the resort where locals take their friends when they want to ski big. A day at Squaw is a day kissing the clouds while the snow and the lake try to out sparkle each other.
Make the Village at Squaw Valley your destination for après with live music and fireworks on Saturday nights. With a selection of dining options, consider PlumpJack Café for a chef-created menu infused with the freshest of local ingredients paired with regional wines and signature cocktails.
Enjoy Winterwonder Grass 2018 on April 6 to 8, for a festival blending bluegrass music, brews, and brisk mountain air. With over 26 musical acts, enjoy the best of the mountain views with craft brews.
Squaw Valley ski operations run until May for 2018. Squaw Valley Ski Resort is located at 1960 Squaw Valley Road, Olympic Valley, California. Squaw Valley is 12 miles south of Truckee, California, along California Highway 89.
Northstar offers skiers a treed resort with over 2,000 feet of vertical drop across over 3,100 acres of terrain including 100 runs. With lodges located at NorthStar Village, mid-mountain and at the summit, skiers are never far from a gourmet snack or craft cocktail.
Spend your après in the Northstar Village with an ice skating rink rimmed by fire pits, cocktail and coffee outlets and afternoon s'mores. Continue with shopping in the Village or catching a movie at the onsite theater.
Find a new rhythm at Northstar with the Her Mountain Lesson series, just for women on Saturdays. Led by a female coach, take an afternoon lesson to regain that confidence that time or childbirth zapped. Work on honing turns and learning the advances in skiing technology.
Northstar's ski lifts run into April for 2018. Located at 5001 Northstar Drive in Truckee, California. It's 7 miles south of Truckee, California, along California Highway 267.
Lake Tahoe's only AAA Five-Diamond resort offers travelers a destination for laid-back luxury. Taking design clues from Timberline Lodge, The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe features scrumptious fabrics with rustic furnishings reminiscent of a hunting lodge.
With ski-in, ski-out convenience, land on the back patio of The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe for après. With an in-house marshmologist, imagine savoring a glass of champagne while toasting a house-made and flavored marshmallows at the firepit as the Tahoe sky slowly fades to stars.
One thing I hate about skiing is lugging gear. The ski valet service keeps all the equipment stored slopeside. The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe is located at 13031 Ritz-Carlton Highlands Court.
Diamond Peak Ski Resort, a local's favorite, sits in the heart of North Lake Tahoe's Incline Village. Boasting some of the best views of Lake Tahoe, Diamond Peak is a smaller resort that packs in a good selection trails.
Spring flurries bring powder and events to Diamond Peak. The popular Last Tracks Wine and Beer Tasting includes a special late afternoon lift ticket up to Snowflake Lodge. At the lodge, participants enjoy a flight from a winery or brewery then ski down a freshly groomed blue run after the resort closes. Saturdays and special lift ticket required.
Looking for ski instruction geared towards adults? Diamond Peak offers a series of lessons for adults on Wednesdays throughout the season. With an emphasis on lifelong skiing, learn to ski or modify your form to continue to carve through retirement.
The ski season closes in mid-April for 2018, but now is the time to plan for 2019. Diamond Peak Ski Resort is located in Incline Village, Nevada, at 1210 Ski Way, on the northern shore of Lake Tahoe.
With 422 guest rooms, suites and cottages with access to Lake Tahoe, the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino offers an AAA Four-Diamond hotel perfect for ski getaways. I found several restaurants on the property and the Lone Eagle Grille offers lake views and upscale offerings.
The Stillwater Spa is one of the largest spa facility in the area. And the Hyatt offers a free ski shuttle to Diamond Peak Ski Resort.
Grand Lodge Casino offers adults an upscale mountain-themed casino that tempts locals and travelers alike.
Hyatt Regency Resort, Spa and Casino is located 111 Country Club Dr. at Lakeshore Blvd.
Smear on an extra layer of sunscreen and lip balm and remember to reapply.
You still need to wear ski pants and gloves while skiing and boarding.
Protect eyes with sunglasses or goggles.
Toast the mountain after every run with water.
Most skiers in Lake Tahoe wear helmets, including adults.
If you are looking for where to ski in Spring, Tahoe has ski resorts that are still open with snow falling. Spring skiing offers great value and plenty of benefits. Even if you're not ready for 2018, now is the time to plan for that next great ski vacation to Colorado. Lake Tahoe is filled with ski resorts to ski this spring.

We are inspired by the words above to engage our clients with the utmost integrity.
Integrity sets the tone for interactions not only on the big issues (price and performance), but on the little things as well. Little things may include: listening better, responding timely to follow up, bringing up trade offs and monitoring the details.


Mrs. DeLee, Mrs. Pounders and I are working on resorting all the classroom library books for 2nd grade. They got quite mixed-up when we moved classrooms and relocated downstairs. Now all the books are having to be resorted. It's a huge job! Be patient with us as we work to get them back in their correct places. During the meantime, you can be studying the following chart so you are familiar with the different levels of books we have available. This is the same chart and level system Mrs. Thornton uses in the school library.


Are Oversized Wine Glasses Contributing to Your Daily Hidden Calories? Yes.
Who doesn't love a big, beautiful glass of wine at the end of a long day? All things in moderation, right? So, don't sweat those additional 130 calories if they are keeping you sane, I say.
Tiny problem, though: the recent trend in wine glass aesthetics favors bigger, rounder, fishbowl-margaritas-on-your-21st-birthday-sized stemware, which wouldn't be a problem if we weren't filling them up to the same invisible line that we would use on a smaller glass.
But, of course, we are. Our cups runneth over, in fact.
The UK's Daily Telegraph recently published an article addressing this very issue. Professor Fiona Sim, chair of the Royal Society for Public Health, hopes doctors will take note of the links between larger glasses, overpouring and obesity, and release a warning to consumers.
In the Telegraph interview, Sim suggests that physicians ask patients about the liquid calories they may be consuming to get a better picture of their overall health during regular visits. Not a bad idea, but the point is, most people don't realize just how much extra grapey goodness they are taking in thanks to a slightly larger booze receptacle.
I'm definitely guilty of the heavy-handed pour because one glass is one glass, right? If I can pour ¾ of the bottle into one glass, you'd better believe that counts as a single serving. While I mean this in jest, it's no joke: denial is at the heart of our portion control problem in general.
The truth is, repeat overpouring offenders will sabotage their own weight loss efforts if they continue to turn a blind eye to the true amount of extra ounces they're imbibing.
How many extra calories are we consuming when we fill our larger glasses? It depends on the wine and, yes, it depends on the pour.
On average, a glass of cabernet sauvignon—that's five ounces of booze, by the way, not eight or nine—will cost you 160 calories. Did you accidentally down an entire bottle during a particularly hilarious episode of Broad City? Add 720 calories to your day. You may as well have eaten about four doughnuts.
More a fan of the white varietals? An average glass of chardonnay contains about 123 calories. If your single serving becomes a double, tack on 246 calories that won't even satiate your appetite; sadly, it will only make you hungrier.
For more awesome[ly depressing] information about calories in wine, check out Wine Folly to stay educated on the caveats of pouring freely.
It's relatively simple: pour less vino or drink out of smaller glasses! I know, I think the goblet-sized vessels are prettier, too. Use what you like, just remember that the size of the glass can sometimes be proportionate to the hangover.

Type 1 Epitope Mapping of a monoclonal antibody against an antigen translated into 15 aa peptides with 14 aa peptide overlap. The microarray scan (left) as well as the intensity plot (right) reveal a stretch of adjacent peptides with a consensus motif that represents the epitope of the antibody. Stained HA (red) and Flag (green) control peptides frame the antigen-derived peptides.
Type 2 Epitope Mapping Service: Epitope Mapping of one antibody or serum sample against a single antigen translated into 10, 12 and 15 aa peptides with a peptide-peptide overlap of 9, 11 and 14 aa.
Type 2 Epitope Mapping of a polyclonal antibody against an antigen translated into 10, 12 and 15 aa peptides with 9, 11 and 14 aa peptide overlap. The microarray scan (left) as well as the intensity plot (right) of the 15 aa peptides shows an apparent single epitope stretch which can be separated in two adjacent epitopes with the 10 and 12 aa peptides. Stained HA (red) and Flag (green) control peptides frame the antigen-derived peptides.
Antigen and Epitope Discovery Microarrays: PEPperCHIP Discovery Microarrays are based on a discovery format that covers 50,000 different peptides (up to 60,000 peptides, e.g. 30,000 different peptides in duplicate) for high throughput screening. Discovery Microarrays are ideal for large-scale antigen and epitope discovery screens for biomarker identification, multiplex epitope mappings or peptide discovery and high throughput optimization.
334 different proteins of interest were translated into 15 aa peptides with a peptide-peptide overlap of 10 aa resulting in 26,463 different peptides in duplicates. The first assay was based on pooled control sera at a dilution of 1:1000 followed by data read-out and quantification (left top). A second assay was performed with pooled patient sera at the same dilution (right top) that revealed a number of antigens and epitopes that were exclusively stained by the pooled patient sera. Antigens and epitopes with the highest differential response were selected (right bottom) for further investigations with increased serum numbers on PEPperCHIP® Peptide Microarrays with standard dimensions. Staining of HA (red) and FLAG (green) control peptides complement a typical Antigen and Epitope Discovery Screen (left bottom).

AppDirect's Daniel Saks Buys $12 Million 90210 Mansion
Seller Jeff Stibel
Location Escondido Beach, Malibu, Calif.
Price $11.995 million
Size 6,640 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms
Jeff Stibel, the prominent Hidden Hills, Calif.-based brain scientist and venture capitalist who was also the late Kobe Bryant's longtime business partner, has hung an $11.995 million pricetag on his oceanfront home along one of Malibu's best-kept secrets — its gorgeous Escondido Beach.
Sequestered near the very end of a long private road, almost directly below the ever-popular Geoffrey's restaurant, the 6,600 sq. ft. mansion was custom-built by Stibel and his longtime wife Cheryl in 2009, and is perhaps best-described as contemporary Mediterranean in style. Over the years, the couple have frequently attempted to either unload or rent out the home; the property was most recently offered for sale in 2016, when it was saddled with a too-dear $13.45 million ask.
Like many oceanfront Malibu houses, the Stibel residence sits cheek-to-jowl between two other large residences. The home's front door is somewhat awkwardly placed on the side of the structure, directly facing a neighbor's wall, though it opens into a properly regal foyer with a double-height ceiling, antique stone floors quarried in France, and a massive iron chandelier. From there, a short corridor leads to the living room, where there's a fireplace and two sets of foldaway glass doors that offer A+ views of the Malibu coastline. The neighboring dining room has its own set of foldaway doors, and the attached kitchen flaunts a center island and bevy of high-end appliances, including a drool-worthy La Cornue stove.
There are four guest bedrooms, all of them ensuite, and a spacious master retreat with lustrous hardwood floors, walls of glass leading to a private balcony, and spa-style bathroom with intricate mosaic tilework. Elsewhere in the home is a listing-described "movie room" and a library with reading nook, though arguably the property's best feature is its rooftop deck, with a heated pool, spa, built-in BBQ and outdoor fireplace — all with dream-like ocean views.
Stibel, 47, is a serial entrepreneur and veteran businessman who formerly served as Chairman and CEO of the now-defunct Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp, and as president and CEO of domain registration service Web.com. He holds a degree in cognitive science from Brown University and is noted for his academic contributions to the field of brain science, though he remains best-known to the public for his close association with the late, great Kobe Bryant, with whom he co-founded Bryant Stibel, a $100 million venture capital fund they privately bankrolled. During Bryant's lifetime, the pair invested in a vast array of companies, including games maker Scopely and legal services provider LegalZoom.
Stibel and his wife continue to own their main residence in L.A.'s exclusive Hidden Hills gated community, a $7.5 million mansion with nearly 11,000 square feet that was acquired in early 2014.
Tara Switzer of Coldwell Banker and Chris Cortazzo of Compass share the Malibu listing.

Tomsk Polytechnic University
Tomsk Polytechnic University is ranked 398 in QS World University Rankings by TopUniversities and has an overall score of 4.6 stars, according to student reviews on Studyportals, the best place to find out how students rate their study and living experience at universities from all over the world.
Great Teachers, Quality Education. The hostels are comfortable especially for international students.
The university is very good one. The level of education was on a proper level. It had lots of opportunities for me as a student. For instance, it helped me to participate in Erasmus program in Maribor University, Slovenia.
Russian universities are well-known for their excellent studies in areas like Physics, Engineering, Medicine, and Psychology. They are also affordable when compared to their Western counterparts; most programmes cost under 7,500 EUR per academic year. Local campuses and dormitories meet all the modern standards you'd expect, and Russian universities take pride in having state-of-the-art laboratories and research centres. Living costs are affordable, and you can apply for one of the 15,000 scholarships, which are offered every year by the Russian government. This shows the commitment and desire to attract top students and support them while living and studying in Russia.

I completed a BA degree in Sociology and Development Studies, and both an Honours and Master's degree in Journalism at Stellenbosch University. In 2018, I was awarded my PhD in Music from Stellenbosch University with a study about the reception history of opera in Cape Town as portrayed in two local daily newspapers. My research field is opera history in South Africa.


We take pride in behaving responsibly and running our business the right way.
Our aim is to create a safe working environment and build organisational resilience to deliver sustainable long-term growth through our brands, markets and people. Behaving responsibly and running our business the right way is not just the right thing to do, it underpins the ongoing growth and development of Imperial Brands.
People who are appropriately trained, developed and rewarded will be better enabled to deliver our commercial strategy. This, in turn, contributes to increased employee engagement, productivity, strong customer service, high employee retention rates and new talent attraction.
We take pride in what we do and how we do it. Our safety culture is integral to this and each and every one of us is encouraged to take personal responsibility for safety. Acting responsibly and with integrity has helped us create and sustain a successful business that can attract and retain talent.
We are working to ensure that we have the right people with the right skills and behaviours working for the business today and tomorrow. In turn, we seek to provide a safe working environment that inspires employees to achieve the extraordinary.
We have reviewed and updated our People Strategy, to clearly connect our business strategy with the people who need to deliver it. The People Strategy is about unlocking potential, aspiration and enabling our people. It's also intrinsically linked to delivery and growth, both for our business and for everyone who works in it.
We seek to provide a safe working environment for our employees and those working for us.
We're proud of our diverse and international workforce.
Our vision is to create a working environment where we take care of each other, everywhere, every day. We can only achieve our vision if each and every one of us takes personal responsibility for safety and therefore our health and safety strategy identity is 'I own safety'.
There are a number of health and safety risks across our business, including risks from working at heights, operating machinery, slips, trips and falls, driving, environmental factors, handling tools and the presence of electricity, amongst others.
We reduce the risk of work-related injuries and ill health through behavioural training, risk assessment, risk management, accident investigation with root-cause analysis, reporting, audit and improvement planning.
We develop our local Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) management processes in line with the international standard OHSAS 18001. We also focus on specific topics such as safety leadership, work at heights and managing road risk. Please see Case Studies for more information.
We have global procedures in place covering hazard identification, risk assessment and incident investigation. These are applicable to all locations and are audited as part of our internal and external audit programmes.
We operate a 'Plan, Do, Check, Act' occupational health and safety framework throughout our operations which includes formal management review processes. Evaluation of risk control and incident management is an integral part of this review which forms part of our continual improvement process.
We provide occupational healthcare services to meet the needs of our business and for continuous improvement. Some of our larger sites have in-house occupational health professionals whereas other sites use third-party healthcare service providers.
A number of our employees are required to undertake international travel. We have travel security services to give our travellers the best support.
We strive to continually improve our safety culture to ensure workers feel empowered to always remove themselves from perceived danger. Always acting promptly on near miss reporting and providing feedback to employees is a key part of this process.
Within our supply chain, health and safety forms a key element of our Supplier Code, Sustainable Tobacco Programme (STP) and our non-tobacco material (NTM) supplier qualification programme, where we seek to promote management of good health and safety practices.
We look to support employee well-being through a range of offerings that fall under three main areas of focus: mental, physical and social well-being.
Given cultural differences and that not one-size-fits-all, many of our employee wellbeing offerings are enabled locally with a few Group initiatives, such as Virgin Global Challenge and our Group-wide volunteering initiative.
We have a range of initiatives enabled at the local level that include resilience training, employee assistance programmes, health checks and awareness programmes, flexible working, family-friendly policies and facilities and workplace celebrations and social events.
Under employee wellbeing, we also support volunteering as it is a positive way for employees to engage with local communities, broaden perspectives and support a work-life balance.
Our Group-wide Employment Policy is designed to ensure employees are professionally recruited, effectively rewarded and encouraged to develop both personally and professionally, to better support the objectives of the business. The aim of the policy is to attract, motivate, reward, develop and retain high calibre employees to deliver business success.
Our drive to maintain momentum in tobacco and deliver significant growth in our Next Generation Products, defines the capabilities that we need and the critical areas in which we need them. We work to ensure that we have the right people with the right skills and behaviours working for the business, today and tomorrow. Firstly, we mobilise our significant existing talent so that we can retain home-grown knowledge, skills and experience. Secondly, we attract new talent with capabilities to enhance our performance delivery and evolving business needs.
The continuous development of our employees is encouraged through skills enhancement and training programmes. We use a formal approach to performance management as part of a continuous process of performance planning, assessment, development planning and review. This is further supported by our global HR system 'Workday'.
We have a number of mechanisms to support development and up-weight capabilities, including our Mentor Match programme and Learning and Development Portal. The portal drives users to relevant content, and it was accessed on average over 3000 times per month in FY18. The portal includes inspirational learning stories, 'GetAbstract' articles, stress and resilience support as well as a comprehensive library of learning and development support courses and material.
Our Mentor Match programme enables mentees and mentors to find support and work together across the business. At present we have around 400 active global users with over 100 matches.
We pay and reward people fairly with reference to external market pay data, ensuring the company remains attractive in the external competitive market. In addition, pay reviews are held annually in consultation with local unions.
We offer both Group-wide and local benefits. Group-wide benefits include items such as annual bonus, pensions and long-term incentive plans. Local benefits include items such as holiday entitlement, sick pay, medical insurance and flexible working.
Our reward structure focuses on three key areas: 1. Ensuring our ability to attract, retain and motivate people with the capabilities we need to deliver the business strategy; 2. Supporting a more flexible and agile organisation, better able to react quickly to seize new opportunities and to address issues; and 3. Further aligning actual rewards with the performance delivery of the business.
This structure provides a simple and consistent global framework within which markets and functions must operate. It also provides greater flexibility to localise or tailor rewards to specific needs or priorities. The framework provides the basis for governance and equitable treatment of our employees globally, as well as supporting our ability to move talent across the organisation. This is in line with delivering our Employee Value Proposition (EVP) of providing attractive rewards that recognise the contribution employees make.
We strongly believe that diversity across our organisation not only makes it a better place to work but also helps us realise our commercial strategy. We are committed to treating employees with respect and support equal opportunities, as outlined in our Fairness at Work Policy. We want a culture that is vibrant and where our people can be themselves at work.
Inspire: raising awareness of the diversity agenda and showing how it can help us achieve our business aims.
Strengthen: looking at the way we recruit, retain and develop people to help us embed diversity and develop a diverse talent pool.
Empower: finding new ways to support flexible working and greater collaboration across the business so everyone feels they can fully contribute to our success.
We promote diversity internally with awareness campaigns, career talks, unconscious bias training and diversity celebrations. The importance of diversity, equality and non-discrimination is highlighted in our Code of Conduct and underpinned by our values.

Texas Rev. Hornswoggle Loves Rape, Meth
« Pastor Splits His Mate's Face With an Axe
Egyptian Jon Stewart to be Arrested, Gagged »
Terry Firma
30 Mar 2013 |
As sex-crime pastors go, Terry Hornbuckle is virtually in a class by himself. He was briefly back in the news because he was denied parole the other day, after having served just seven years of his 15-year prison sentence.
We'll refer to him as the Rev. Hornswoggle from here on out. That name just seems to fits better. See if you agree.
The parole request for the once prominent minister, who built a large nondenominational church in Arlington and mingled with celebrities, has been rejected. Hornswoggle, 51, founder of Agape Christian Fellowship, remains in prison serving his 15-year sentence for sexually assaulting three women, two of whom were members of his church. Testimony from his 2006 trial included details about how Hornbuckle drugged some of the women and smoked methamphetamine.
Hornswoggle's trial, and the events that led him there, were memorable for all kinds of colorful details. The reverend, who asked people to address him as "bishop," preached the "prosperity gospel." He and his wife drove Mercedeses and Cadillac Escalades; they also lived in expensive homes and wore tailored clothes.
This lavish lifestyle had to be financed by his flock, so from the pulpit, week after week, Hornswoggle implored his 2,500 congregants to give their all to the church, which meant most especially the contents of their bank accounts. He shamed members in public, in front of everyone, if they didn't tithe at least 10 percent of their incomes to his church.
One ex-fan said he vividly remembered
scrounging for change in his 400-square-foot apartment in north Arlington, terrified that something calamitous would happen to him if he didn't come up with his tithe every week. "If I didn't have that whole tithe," he said, "either I was going to get struck down, or if I got too close to [the bishop] he would get killed."
At the time of Hornswoggle's trial for sexual assault, the Dallas Observer, which referred to him in one headline as "Reverend Freak," reported myriad odd and embarrassing stories about him (embarrassing for normal people — it never became clear whether the good bishop himself was capable of such an emotion). For instance:
One time, Hornswoggle preached about bathing his adolescent daughter. "You men need to bathe your daughters," he exhorted his members. "Clean 'em up good."
Or how about this one:
One married church member, after a sexual encounter with Hornswoggle, began to complain of severe abdominal pain. A trip to the doctor revealed the problem: A metal cock ring — a sexual device used to prolong an erection — had been rammed deep into her abdominal cavity.
Another conquest was involuntary on the part of the bishop's partner (in fact, he sexually assaulted a string of women, prosecutors said, although in the end he was convicted of raping only three). The encounter we're referencing here involved a 17-year-old woman name Jocelyn, who'd drawn the bishop's attention in part because a friend had told him that she might be gay. To get her back on God's intended path, he gave her a muscle relaxant and liquor; she passed out, and then drifted in and out of consciousness as the Rev. Hornswoggle had his way with her.
He was convicted of three counts of sexual assault, drawing 15, 14, and 10 years in prison. The judge decided that Hornswoggle would be allowed to serve those sentences concurrently. There's divine mercy for you.

Q: The topology generated by a basis is the intersection of all topologies containing that basis. This question is from Munkres' Topology, section 13, exercise 5. I ask for verification and/or comments upon mistakes and inaccuracies.

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a basis for a topology on $X$. We are to show that the topology generated by $\mathcal{A}$ is the intersection of all topologies on $X$ containing $\mathcal{A}$.

Here is my claimed solution:

Let $\{\tau_{\alpha}\}$ be the family of topologies containing $\mathcal{A}$. Consider the incersection $\bigcap_{a \in \alpha}\tau_{a}$. It is clear that this intersection contains $\mathcal{A}$, and moreover, is a topology, since for any two elements that are shared, intersections and unions must be shared, by the definition of a topology.
We proceed to show that $\bigcap_{a\in\alpha}\tau_a \subset \tau_{\mathcal{A}}$. Let $U$ be an arbitrary element of $\bigcap_{a\in\alpha}\tau_a$. We see that $U$ must either be in $\mathcal{A}$ or be a union or intersection of elements of $\mathcal{A}$, since $\bigcap_{a\in\alpha}\tau_a$ is clearly the largest topology containing every topology containing $\mathcal{A}$, and by the definition of a topology, this must be exactly the elements of $\mathcal{A}$ and unions and intersections therein. $\bigcap_{a\in\alpha}\tau_a \supset \tau_{\mathcal{A}}$ follows directly.

What I am not sure about here is "...by the definition of a topology, this must be exactly the elements of $\mathcal{A}$ and unions and intersections therein." Since the intersection is the largest topology containing every $\tau_\alpha$, any other element could imply new elements by unions and intersections, creating a new topology not necessarily contained in every $\tau_\alpha$. While I am somewhat confident that my intuition here is correct, I feel that my argument lacks a certain precision.

A: The argument is fine, though it is phrased a little bit unclearly. Here is a way to make it more precise. If $U\in \tau_{\mathcal{A}}$, then it is a union of basis elements, say $U=\bigcup_{i\in I}A_i$, where $A_i \in \mathcal{A}$ for all $i$. Since $\bigcap_{a\in A}\tau_a$ contains $\mathcal{A}$, we have $A_i\in \bigcap_{a\in A}\tau_a$ for all $i$ and since $\bigcap_{a\in A}\tau_a$ is a topology, we also have $U=\bigcup_{i\in I}A_i\in \bigcap_{a\in A}\tau_a$.

A: i may be missing something, but isn't it true that
$$
\tau_{\mathcal{A}} \in \{\tau_{\alpha}\} \Rightarrow \cap_{a\in\alpha}\tau_a \subset \tau_{\mathcal{A}}
$$

A: For those who hate interpret symbolic proofs:
Each open set in the generated topology is union of basis elements and each basis elements are in any containing topology meaning that any of their union is in the said topology. This shows generated topology is contained in any topology that contains its basis and thus contained in their intersection. Equality must holds for the generated topology is also a topology that contains its basis so intersection cannot be larger than it.

Penn State Wilkes-Barre offers new dining options
A selection of ready-made items is available for purchase at the campus dining area.
LEHMAN, Pa. — A different hot option for lunch every day? Check.
Vegan or gluten-free choices? Got it.
Want a garlic tortilla for your wrap instead of just plain or wheat? You can get that now, too.
Penn State Wilkes-Barre has revamped its dining facility and options and is now offering a new selection of fresh food. More choices are available with an expanded variety of healthier options and new items.
The improved dining area features a grill station, a made-to-order deli, a made-to-order sandwich station, pizza, and Starbucks coffee. It also includes items already made and placed out for sale for students looking to grab something to eat on the go.
Mark Tranguch, Penn State director of Housing and Food Services, said, "We really focused on giving Penn State Wilkes-Barre students what they were looking for, including more of a Penn State feel in the dining center. Our students were looking for different menu selections and special choices such as holiday-themed meals, and we're glad to be able to offer those now."
Dallas-based Metz Culinary Management is the new campus food provider. The company also supplies food to the New Kensington, Abington, DuBois, Fayette, Shenango, York, Scranton and Schuylkill campuses, along with a number of colleges along the East Coast.
Mike Tokarek, senior area manager for Metz Culinary Management, said, "We bring a fresh approach to college dining with items made from scratch in-house. We handpick farmers and food processors to get the freshest, certified quality produce, meat, raw ingredients and food products."
The dining area has undergone cosmetic improvements and reconfiguration to help the ordering and payment lines flow more smoothly. The improvements include repainting and resurfacing, new digital signage outside the cafeteria and new stationary signage that directs traffic through the register line.
In light of the pandemic, numerous precautions have been established throughout the dining facility. Each team member and manager will be tested for COVID-19 before the start of school and several employees will be chosen at random each week for testing. Every employee will have their temperature taken before work each day and all employees throughout the dining facility will wear face masks and gloves. The area also has a reconfigured layout that encourages social distancing. The cashless, contactless payment system accepts all major credit cards, LionCash+ and the commuter meal plan.
"We are also taking the extra steps and frequently disinfecting all high-contact points and high-touch areas, such as cooler doors, countertops and credit-card readers," Tokarek said.
Students, faculty and staff are welcome to make requests for new menu items. Those following special diets, including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free, or those who have food allergies or sensitivities can also make requests. All special requests can be made at the campus dining site so the dining team can work to accommodate their needs.
The café will be open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Friday.

October will be a busy month for us here at Apex Mills! We're looking forward to exhibiting at two trademark shows in the textiles industry: AUSA and IFAI.
The Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting and Exposition will take place October 3rd through the 5th in Washington, DC and provides professional development to support the needs of the U.S. Army, including: Active Duty, Army National Guard, Army Reserve, Department of the Army Civilians, and Retirees and Family Members.
For over a quarter of a century, we've been partnering with our armed services and the DOD to provide textiles that meet the rigorous demands of our forces. Today, we are looking to move forward with the DOD to evaluate and engineer new materials, integrating technology into fabrics that can read body signals and send messages to keep our soldiers safe. Visit us at booth 717 to see how capable and proud we are of assisting the U.S. Army with innovative fabrics that are Berry Amendment compliant and 100% manufactured in the U.S.A.
On the heels of AUSA, the Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI) will hold their annual Expo in Charlotte, NC on October 18th through the 21st. At the show, participants learn about solutions and products that are changing the textile industry. Topics such as specialty fabrics, shade and weather protection, and advanced textiles will be just a few of the topics covered. The Expo is ideal for any industry professional that wants to learn more about and understand the changing landscape of the textile industry. Learn about Apex Mills' capabilities at booth A1229. We've recently added a new electronic 7-bar spacer machine with the speed and agility to change patterns within a single knit run and we will be showcasing some of these newer designs.
These trade shows forecast upcoming trends in the industry, and as textiles continue to evolve, companies are turning to us to develop fabric solutions for their leading-edge applications. For example, technology in medical fabrics has improved protection for patients and healthcare professionals. In addition, we are seeing leaps in specialized textiles used for surgical mesh, cardiovascular and abdominal wall patches. With the resurgence of the automotive industry, new materials are being explored to improve sound absorption and air flow. In the office furniture market, product designers seek performance fabrics that can enhance comfort and functionality.
Apex Mills is committed to serving our customers and we look forward to seeing you at these shows. Come on by or if you can't make the show, call us at 516-239-4400 or send an email to info@apexmills.com. Tell us about your application and we'll work with you to find the perfect fabric solution.

The Craft Economy Is Not Going Away.
A Business Meme: The Craft Economy.
An Economic War on Waste.
The composting plates being tested in schools cost about $.15 a piece to make. Seven times that of the $.02 plastic plate. These composting plates, made of sugar cane, require more time to manufacture and are more complicated than their stamped out plastic cousins. It's the future, before our eyes. What savings might accrue to a sugar cane plate vs. plastic? In most cases both will still have to be carted, but putting nutrients back into the soil will produce saving.
What is the cost of moving from antibiotic-laced chickens in our diets to organic chickens? Cents a pound? Dollars a pound? Sure. But the back end savings of that move? Rather than having to undergo 3 different, escalated courses of drugs to knock out bronchitis, perhaps only one? Do the math.
And lastly, if a country like Mexico taxes sugar laden soda and fast food, will it begin to lose its mantle of the world's obesity king? And will healthcare costs in Mexico reduce by billions? You know the answer.
This is not stuff of the craft economy, though craft economy acolytes are certainly supporters of a more sustainable bio-planetary model, these are simply healthy choices which at face-value don't make economic sense. We are moving in this direction in America, slowly. This is our awakening. Marketers who pursue this new direction – companies like Hains Celestial – will slowly win this war. A war on waste. An economic war. Peace.
I had never heard of a Breguet watch until thumbing through a lovely glossy magazine published by the brand earlier this year. The booklet paid homage to the Swiss roots of the company, its longevity and amazing craftsmanship – Breguet created the world's first wristwatch and opened for business before the U.S. declared independence. Inside and out, these timepieces are unlike any others in the world. Rolexes are elegant in their simplicity, Breguet timepieces are elegant in their overt beauty and celebration of complexity.
Back to Brequet. When a person holds a "thing" in their hand made by another person and is astonished by the craftsmanship, it is an affirmation of humanness. (I encountered this feeling when as a volunteer archeologist in Maine I found a deer rib bone in the shape of a weaving shuttle, ornamented by human hand. Blown away.) Mass produced products do not astonish. Frankly they lack brand panache and brand story.
The craft economy does not delight customers, its goal is to astonish. Peace.
More on the craft economy.
One current marketing trend in America, partially caused by the recession, is the craft economy. People learning to cook at home, fix their broken stuff, use better quality, better value products – a la craft beer. But beyond the recession, as America's leisure time has become a bit more focused on technology (TV, video games, social networking) I see some blow back from those who want more…and they are turning to the craft economy. Both as buyers and sellers.
This morning I drove past a McDonagh's Milk delivery truck and realized this small local dairy is schlepping milk around in glass quart bottles. It made me want to drink fresh milk. There were no ads on the very spare truck, yet I felt something and did something (like write about it.) If the craft economy can by its very nature drive demand, it needn't rely on advertising – and that is why I know the craft economy is for real. Our town just started a local farmer's market, and it's filled with craft economy buyers and sellers. Communing about craft.
So where do people go on the web to find craft people and products? And who will curate that web content? Who will determine what is craft and what is mass-produced, junk economy material? I suspect some entrepreneur will latch on and use Yelp-like rating to do it. But that's not particularly crafty. Let's see who wins. Because it's coming. Peace!

NPIF hits £30m milestone in Liverpool City Region
Published on 7th October 2020
The Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund (NPIF), delivered by British Business Bank, has facilitated £30m of investment in the Liverpool City Region, over £15m of which has been invested directly by the Fund itself with the remainder leveraged from the private sector.
Launched in 2017, NPIF is designed to help small and medium sized businesses secure the funding they need for growth and development. It delivers equity finance, debt finance and microfinance, ranging from £25,000 to £2m.
The £30m invested to date has been across more than 80 transactions for 72 businesses in the region.
Recent investments include an equity funding package for RedWigWam, a temporary work booking platform. As part of its growth strategy, led by CEO Lorna Davidson, the Baltic Triangle-based business secured investment from NPIF – Maven Equity Finance to expand its marketing and PR activities, continue development of its platform, and increase staffing.
New manufacturing company Liverpool Laser and Tube Ltd (LLT) has recently received a £50,000 loan from NPIF – BFS & MSIF Microfinance to meet the growing demand for laser cutting, metal forming and fabrication services. The investment, which was delivered by MSIF has allowed LLT to grow the business by securing a larger hi-tech manufacturing facility in Knowsley, as well as procure state-of-the-art equipment to deliver a top-quality continued service to its customers.
Additionally, NPIF has been providing funding support for businesses in Liverpool City Region that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. General Trade Maintenance – which trades as GTM Property Maintenance – is a maintenance service provider to the social housing and care sector and had a healthy forecast of work scheduled for the year. However, after its supply chain suffered severe impact from the crisis, the company was forced to close. After receiving a £250,000 CBILS backed loan from NPIF – FW Capital Debt Finance, the firm was able to reopen and bring furloughed staff back to work.
Asif Hamid MBE, Chair of the Liverpool City Region Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), said: "The NPIF team have provided valuable support to our business community since the launch of the fund in 2017, and it is fantastic to see the impact it is having on unlocking business potential and creating jobs in the city region. It is also good to see NPIF providing funding support for businesses in the city region that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
"To continue this momentum, we are working closely with the Fund Managers and existing providers to ensure there is a simple joined up approach for business across the city region through Growth Platform and our local delivery partners."
Ken Cooper, Managing Director at British Business Bank, said: "The business landscape in the Liverpool City Region has continued to improve in recent years and we are pleased to have been a part of that journey. Supporting 72 innovative businesses with over £30m of investment in the region is a testament to the effective collaboration between the British Business Bank, the Local Enterprise Partnership, the Growth Hub and other stakeholders in the region.
"We will continue to work closely with our Fund Managers and partners in the region as we maintain this momentum, providing vital support to businesses in Liverpool City Region."
The Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund project is supported financially by the European Union using funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) as part of the European Structural and Investment Funds Growth Programme 2014-2020 and the European Investment Bank.

Levi Goldsmith's Family 1920-1930, Part I: More Terrible Losses
Posted on August 28, 2018 by Amy
As of 1920, only four of the nine children to whom Levi Goldsmith's wife Henrietta had given birth were still alive: Eva, the oldest daughter, George, the oldest son, and Helen and Blanche, the two youngest daughters. Estella, Felix, Isadore, and Sylvester had already died, all before they turned fifty (as well as the infant who was born prematurely and not named.) There were also seventeen grandchildren still living as well as several great-grandchildren. This post will report on the fates of Eva and her family, George, and the descendants of Estella and Felix in the 1920s. The one to follow will cover Helen and Blanche and their families as well as the descendants of Sylvester Goldsmith.
In 1920 Eva Goldsmith Anathan was living with her daughter Helen in Philadelphia. Helen, now forty, continued to work as a probation officer. There was also a lodger living with them, Leo Isenthal, 45, a railroad promoter.

Bessie Anathan was living in Philadelphia with her husband Sim Simon and their two sons, John and Robert, in 1920; Sim was a manufacturer of extracts—of what, I do not know. They were living a quarter mile away from Eva and Helen.

Eva and Helen were still living together in Philadelphia in 1930, and Helen continued to work as a probation officer.1 Bessie and Sim and their children were also still in Philadelphia, and Sim now identified his occupation as a candy manufacturer. 2
Eva Goldsmith Anathan, the oldest child of Levi and Henrietta, died three years later on April 27, 1933, at the age of 77; she died from hypertension and chronic myocarditis.

Estella Goldsmith Rothschild's widower Solomon and their sons were also living in Philadelphia in 1920. Jerome, her son, was practicing law and was the head of household. His wife Carrie and six-year-old daughter Estelle were living with him as well as his brother Herbert (26) and father Solomon. Herbert was a clerk in a clothing store, and Solomon was the secretary of a Jewish society.

On December 30, 1924, Solomon was killed in a horrible train accident:
"Killed by Train," The Philadelphia Inquirer, December 31, 1924, p. 3
Estella's family suffered so unfairly. First, two of her sons died as children; then she died when she was in her forties. And then her husband met his death in such a gruesome and painful way. Their sons Jerome and Herbert had experienced far too many losses by 1924.
Fortunately, Herbert had reason to celebrate when he married Nancy Erber on June 25, 1925, six months after his father's death.3 Nancy was born in New York on February 28, 1901, to Samuel Erber and Fannie Schusterman, who were both born in the Austrian Empire (possibly Poland) and came to the US in the 1880s. Samuel was a tailor.4 Herbert and Nancy had a child born in 1929, and in 1930 they were living in New York City where Herbert was the vice-president of a clothing factory.5 His brother Jerome continued to live in Philadelphia with his wife and daughter and to practice law.6
And then tragedy struck the family of Estella Goldsmith once again. On January 24, 1931, Nancy Erber Goldsmith died at the age of 29, from retroperitoneal abdominal neoplasm, which appears to have been a form of pancreatic cancer. It also says she was suffering from cachexia, which is defined as "a 'wasting' disorder that causes extreme weight loss and muscle wasting, and can include loss of body fat," and inanition, defined as "Severe weakness and wasting as occurs from lack of food, defect in assimilation, or neoplastic disease." She was so terribly young to die in such an awful way. And another Goldschmidt child, not yet two years old, became motherless, and Herbert Goldsmith experienced yet another heartbreaking loss.
Those were not the only losses the extended family suffered in this period. On December 31, 1929, George Goldsmith, Levi and Henrietta's oldest son, died from cancer of the cecum at age of 68. His wife Leah Abeles died nine years later on May 26, 1938, from pancreatic cancer;7 she was 73, according to her death certificate. George and Leah had not had any children. They are buried at Mt Sinai cemetery in Philadelphia.
That meant that as of 1933, there were only two of Levi and Henrietta's children still alive: Helen, and Blanche.

Felix Goldsmith's widow Bertha Umstadter Goldsmith and three of their surviving children, Hortense (32), Lee (26), and Minna (20), were living together in Norfolk, Virginia, in 1920. Hortense was working at the Navy Yard, and Minna was a stenographer for the shipping board. I cannot read what it says for Lee's occupation on the census record, but the 1922 Norfolk, Virginia directory has him listed as the deputy US Shipping Commissioner.8
Felix and Bertha's oldest child, Frances, was living in New York City in 1920, working as a social worker for the "National Conference of [?] Social Services.9 But in 1925 Frances was working in a lingerie shop, living in what appears to be a single room occupancy building in New York City.10 In 1930, she was still working in the lingerie business.11 Unfortunately, that was the last record I could locate for Frances, though I know from her mother's obituary that she was still living in New York City in 1935.
Lee Goldsmith was the next member of Levi Goldsmith's extended family to die a premature death. He had left Norfolk sometime after 1922 and moved to Los Angeles, where he was the acting US Shipping Commissioner. He had then moved to Panama in 1926, where he was a customs inspector.12 Then on November 12, 1929, he died from acute meningitis at the age of 37:
"At Post in Panama," The Los Angeles Times, December 4, 1929, p.23
Lee had never married or had children. He was survived by his mother Bertha and his sisters Frances, Hortense, and Minna.
Felix and Bertha's daughter Hortense also left Norfolk, Virginia, in the 1920s. Although she is listed in the 1922 Norfolk directory, in 1924 she is listed as living in Indianapolis. The 1926 directory lists her as a stenographer for the American Legion in Indianapolis.13 The 1930 census shows her living in Indianapolis and working as an executive for an unnamed national organization.14 From several newspaper articles I learned that Hortense was working for some time for the American Legion, and in 1932 she was described in one newspaper article as the chief stenographer and supervisor of stenographic employment for the American Legion.15
According to one record, Minna Goldsmith, the youngest of Felix and Bertha's children, married Edwin Rheinstrom Goodman in 1922.16 He was born in Terre Haute, Indiana, on February 8, 1896, to Leopold Goodman, a German-born immigrant, and Rachel Rheinstrom, who was born in Philadelphia. Leopold was a clothing merchant in Terre Haute.17 In 1920 Edwin had been working as an office manager, living as a boarder in New York City. According to a questionnaire he filled out for the Office of Jewish War Records, he was working for the American Fence Construction Company in New York18. In 1925 Minna and Edwin were living in New York City, and Minna's mother Bertha was living with them. After all those years living in Norfolk, Virginia, Bertha had relocated at this late point in her life to New York. Edwin was working there as a merchant.

By 1930, however, Minna and Edwin and their child as well as Minna's mother Bertha had relocated to Cleveland, Ohio, where Edwin was a retail merchant selling men's clothing.19 Minna and Edwin would have a second child the following year.
Bertha died on December 23, 1935, at the age of 75. She was buried back in Norfolk where she had lived almost her entire life and where her husband Felix and son Lee were also buried.20 By that time none of their three surviving children—Frances, Hortense, and Minna—was living in Norfolk.
The more I learned about Levi's family, the more unfair and heartbreaking it became. The next post will discuss the families of Levi's children Helen, Blanche, and Sylvester.

I can imagine the research is getting more difficult considering the different places you've found the families living in. What an interesting occupation for Helen. Looking forward to the continuation.

It all depends—some people are so easy to research, others seemed to disappear into the woodwork somehow! Thanks, Cathy!

I began reading your post, first drawn to Leo the 'railroad promotor' the first time I have seen that occupation ever. It immediately drew me to thoughts on the expansion of our country. And then I heard my self out load saying 'oh no' with Solomon's terrible fate by train and the oh no's continued through out the read. Such tragedy for a family, so sad 😦
I think trains were such a blessing, but also a curse. Crossings weren't regulated like they are today. Life was just generally a lot more treacherous! Thanks, Sharon.

This is heartbreaking Amy; that one family should bear so much tragedy.
I know. It really just blew me away. 😦
When families lose so many members, especially children who never have the chance to carry on the line, it seems more important than ever to research and tell their stories. It's great that you are doing this.
Thanks, Su. My father has said that it surprises him that I can feel so connected, so much empathy to these long deceased distant relatives. But I really do. And so as hard and sad as it can be, I do feel that they deserve to have their stories told.
And your empathy is what makes the stories so readable for "outsiders" to the family, even when the stories are so sad.
Thank you, Su. I really appreciate that.

Oh, the horror stories of your family history are getting worse with every new post. I am looking forward to happier times for the Goldsmith family. Perhaps stories of the families of Levi's children Helen, Blanche, and Sylvester will be a little more up-lifting. Best wishes! Peter
Well, all things being relative, some of the stories to come are not AS bad. But there is little joy to write about with this particular family line. Thanks, Peter.

Imagine my surprise and gratitude when Rev. Bidinger gave me a slice of my tree that you cut down for me with your signatures (and your dogs) and a Bible verse on it! It was from the tree that had been planted on our lot when our house was built in October of 1964. It was the only original tree that was left on our property. I took a picture of it before you cut it down.
I am so sorry I wasn't home when you all brought this to me! I would have liked to thank you all in person. I was so very touched at your thoughtfulness! You gave me a "slice" of memories!
I also enjoyed the interview. It was nice of you to listen to an old ladies experience of the storm. I am happy to inform you that my 2 fawns and their mother survived the storm in the small woods on our property. They have been coming out on our yard to eat the crab apples that have fallen from our two trees. They are such beautiful, graceful creatures, that God made, which give me and my friends' great pleasure to watch in my backyard. The village has started cutting up the trees that have fallen over the river, now that the mosquitoes are gone.
Keep up the good work and may God Bless all of you!

The most common problems with electric cars
We look at the data and the downsides of EVs.
Car Sloth Team
Chris Pickering
Rachel Wait
Last reviewed:
Many drivers report reliability issues with their electric cars — but for the first time, the EV problem rate is lower than the non-EV problem rate.
Battery issues, climate control, and in-car electronics are among the biggest problems in electric vehicles.
Electric car subscriptions allow you to test an EV before you buy, so you can check reliability first-hand.
1. Why are people against electric cars?
2. How reliable are electric cars?
3. Do electric cars have more issues than non-EVs?
4. 6 common problems with electric cars
5. The most reliable EVs
6. Test drive an electric car on a subscription
As people become more concerned about the environment and climate change, electric cars are growing in popularity. There are now almost 750,000 electric cars on the road in the UK [1].
Electric cars are far more eco-friendly than traditional vehicles, while still competing on performance and economy. But many people are still concerned about the drawbacks of electric cars, which may slow or stall a more widespread adoption of EVs.
In this article, we'll examine the downside of electric cars, including reliability and common issues.
Why are people against electric cars?
Electric cars are becoming more popular, but they're still far outweighed by traditional non-electric vehicles. Electric car myths continue to circulate, spreading misinformation about electric vehicles that may put drivers off. Plus, change is always hard-fought, so it's understandable that there's still some resistance to switching to electric cars.
Many people cite unreliability as a key disadvantage of electric cars. So just how reliable are electric vehicles in comparison to non-EVs?
How reliable are electric cars?
Electric car owners have the highest owner satisfaction rating of all car owners [2]. But despite this, drivers report significant reliability issues with their electric vehicles. Electric SUVs are currently ranked as the least reliable car type.
However, year-on-year data suggests that while there are still some reliability issues with electric cars, this is improving. The problem rate in most areas has fallen since 2019 [2]:
Do electric cars have more issues than non-EVs?
While many drivers report issues with their electric cars, in 2021, the overall problem rate was actually lower for EVs than ICE vehicles for the first time [2]:
Electric vehicles have fewer moving parts than non-EVs, so they're already less vulnerable to mechanical issues than regular cars. And as electric vehicle technology advances, electric cars are likely to become more reliable.
In the meantime, let's take a look at some of the bad things about electric cars, and whether these problems should prevent you from buying an EV right now.
6 common problems with electric cars
1. Battery degradation over time
One key disadvantage of electric cars is the battery life. Like all batteries, the capacity decreases over time. Researchers suggest battery capacity decreases by approximately 2.3% every year [3].
Battery longevity is highly dependent on temperature. One study found that in Florida, where temperatures are high, batteries last for 5.2 years on average [4]. In Alaska's cold climate, they could last up to 13.3 years.
But other evidence suggests that EV batteries are actually lasting much longer than originally thought. Industry experts believe that in many instances, the battery will actually outlast the car itself [5].
Check out our EV glossary guide if you find any of the terms unclear.
2. Batteries are highly reactive
Concerns have been raised over the safety of batteries used in electric cars. Lithium-ion batteries are used thanks to their high power and energy density, as well as their long cycle life [6]. But they're also highly reactive — so they can pose a safety risk.
Lithium-ion batteries must operate within certain temperature and voltage limits. If they exceed these, the battery may stop working effectively. In a worst case scenario, it could catch fire or explode [7].
While there are hypothetical dangers to using lithium-ion batteries in EVs, it's worth noting that very few serious incidents connected to EV batteries have actually been reported [8].
3. EV climate control can reduce range
Electric climate control systems have been shown to decrease the range of the vehicle if they're inefficient. Low-power heat pumps, in particular, take longer to reach the optimum temperature, sapping energy in the process [9].
This is a particular problem when the car starts at a low ambient temperature. So in winter, drivers are likely to see less efficiency in their car heating systems.
4. In-car electronics failure
From failing temperature sensors to faulty electric doors, many EV drivers have complained of problems with their in-car electronics. In May 2022, Tesla issued a recall due to a display screen fault affecting four car models [10]. They've also recalled cars to tackle widespread automatic window problems [11].
Some of these issues are irritating, but won't compromise your ability to drive the car safely. However, other electronics — such as temperature sensors — are critical for ensuring your battery is operating within safe limits [6]. So any electronic sensor issues must be flagged and fixed quickly.
5. Faulty seals lead to leakage
Anecdotal reports suggest that faulty seals are a problem for electric cars, particularly among Tesla drivers [12]. Faulty seals won't stop water from getting into the car, which can be hazardous when there are lots of electrical components to consider.
Poor sealing can also lead to excessive noise in the car, as well as draughts and air leakage — another disadvantage of some electric car models. This can make the drive a lot less comfortable and enjoyable.
6. Electric cars are prone to hacking
Just like any other WiFi-enabled device, internet-connected electric vehicles are vulnerable to cyber threats. One technique, known as Brokenwire, has already proven successful at hacking EV charging systems to abort charging from a distance [13]. The hack has been disclosed to make drivers aware of this problem — but it could still be used by criminals to extort money in return for your car's charging functionality.
As EVs become more popular, drivers can expect more cyber threats to emerge, compromising the performance and security of their car. To make sure you're fully protected, always install software updates as soon as they're available.
The most reliable EVs
While there are still some technical teething problems for EVs, there are still many reliable electric cars on the road. Here are the most reliable electric cars in 2022:
Car Reliability rating Reported problems
Nissan Leaf 98.9% Brakes, non-motor electrics
MG ZS EV 95.5% Battery, steering, bodywork, non-motor electrics
Volkswagen e-Golf 94.7% Infotainment system, non-motor electrics, motor electrics
Test drive an electric car on a subscription
If you're worried about EV reliability, it's a good idea to try an electric car before you commit to buying one. Electric car subscriptions allow you to hire a car for as long as you like, so you can test out the functionality and alleviate any reliability concerns before you make a purchase.
