There are poems such as "Beitai, Yongzheng, a hard backbone of the Great Wall", "coming on stage and going off stage to perform Dynasty operas and acting as generals". Zhenbei Tai is in danger. It controls the throat of the north and the south. For example, it is one of the largest fortresses along the ancient Great Wall and an important part of the Great Wall.
Zhenbeitai is square, with four floors and a height of more than 30 meters. Taiji is 82 meters long in the north, 76 meters long in the south, 64 meters in the East and 64 meters in the west, covering an area of 5056 square meters.

Every layer of the platform is covered with green bricks, and the outer side of the top of each layer is covered with a stack about 2 meters high. The upper part of the stack is provided with a lookout, and the inner and outer parts of each stack are connected. The first floor is surrounded by a series of buildings, which were the barracks of the guards at that time. So far, the base still exists.
Close to the small brick city under Taipei, the famous tribute city, was the venue for Mongolian and Han officials to receive talks and hold tribute ceremonies. In 1992, the Shaanxi Provincial Government announced it as a provincial cultural relics protection unit.
After the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Six Kingdoms, counties and counties were set up in Yulin area to build the Great Wall, and Zhenbeitai Great Wall was one of them. In the early Ming Dynasty, Yansui Town moved from Suide to Yulin, and established cities to trade with Mongolians in Hongshan, Shenmu, Huangfuchuan and other places north of Yansui Town.
Since the exchange of markets, Mongolians often wait for opportunities to go south and plunder property. In order to ensure the security of the border cities, Yu Zijun, governor of Yansui, built the Great Wall of Yansui Town in April on the basis of the Great Wall of Qin and Sui Dynasties in the 10th year of Chenghua in Ming Dynasty (1474). At the same time, in order to cooperate with the trade of Hongshan City, he built Yima City and the tribute city for Mongolians to control trade. In the thirty-fifth year of Wanli (1607), Beitai, a town built at the southwest corner of Gongcheng on the red hill, was also a prominent place in the north and south of the Great Wall. It stood high and observed the enemy's situation and mutual market situation. The plane of Zhenbeitai is square and four stories high.
Zhenbeitai, built in 1607, belongs to one of the observatories of the Great Wall defense system. It is one of the strongholds in the middle of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. The platform is square, four-storey, brick-and-stone-layered outside, rammed earth-layered inside, brick-and-stone-layered outside, with large bottom and small top, and receives layer by layer. It covers an area of nearly 5000 square meters.
The first floor is the base, 82 meters north, 76 meters south, 64 meters east and west, 320 meters circumference and 12 meters deep. It is surrounded by walls on all sides. The inner wall is 5.5 meters high, the outer wall is 10 meters high, and there are stacks on it. The south side of the east wall is built with city gates, and the south-east side is built with masonry road.
The second one is 16.6 metres high, 130 metres in circumference and 5 metres deep. There is a coupon hole in the second floor of Tainan wall. The inner brick and stone steps straight through three floors. The word "Xiangming" is inscribed on the front of the coupon hole, and the word "Zhenbeitai" (destroyed) is inscribed on the north side by Tu Zongxun, governor of Wanli Yansui. The word "Zhenbeitai" is the topic of Wei tradition, a contemporary calligrapher. The third floor is 4.1 meters high, 88 meters in circumference and 3 meters deep.
Outside Taitung, masonry steps up to four floors. The fourth floor is 4.4 metres high, 35.44 metres in circumference, 225 square metres in top floor area, 2 metres in depth on each side. A square watchtower with brick and wood structure built in the Central Plains collapsed in the late Qing Dynasty. All floors are surrounded by parapets and mounds, and the terrace floor is covered with green bricks. On the first level, there are garrison barracks built inside the city wall, and some remains are still there. Each floor of the platform has stone steps to climb. Taiyi Mountain is dangerous and tall. Standing at the top of Zhenbeitai, we can see the golden sand and blue sky, the Bicheng reservoir, the Great Wall, the green forest belt and the suburbs.
You can see the Hongshixia Reservoir, the brilliant achievements of desert control - Sandy botanical garden and desert canal - Xisha Canal, Yudong Canal; the Haizi scenery and lush orchards in Yupujie Desert; the beacon flames and rolling loess hills of the Great Wall of Qin Dynasty; and the Hongshan City, Yima City, Hongshixia and Yulin Ancient City, which had friendly trade between Han and Mongolia in the 16th century.
Zhenbeitai, for the thirty-fifth year of the Ming Dynasty (1607) from April to July next year, Tu Zongjun, governor of Yansui Town, built the largest military observatory on the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, known as the first Great Wall, in order to protect Hongshan City, which is located in the Mutual City of Mongolia and Han on the edge of the nearby Great Wall. It has a history of nearly 400 years up to 2009.
Zhenbeitai is located three kilometers north of Yulin City. It belongs to the national key cultural relics protection unit. In 2002, Jiang Zemin visited this platform personally, giving a glimpse of the local customs.
Zhenbeitai is located on the top of Hongshan Mountain, 4 kilometers north of Yulin City, Shaanxi Province. It is only 2 kilometers away from Hongshixia and 7 kilometers away from Yulin City. It was built in the thirty-fifth year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1067). Taiyi Mountain is in danger. It commands the throats of the north and the South and locks the main entrance of the Great Wall. It is an important pass and military lookout in ancient times.
The word "Xiangming" in the forehead title of Tainan is Tu Zongruishu, governor of Wanli Period. It belongs to one of the observatories of the defensive system of the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty and is the Great Wall fortress in Northwest China. The sentry collapsed in the late Qing Dynasty. Every layer of Zhenbeitai is covered with surface bricks, and the top of each layer of platform is covered with brick stacks, about 2 meters high, and a hopeful mouth is built. The moss marks are barged, which is very simple and magnificent.
Governor Yansui of the Ming Dynasty, Governor of the Three Sides of Shaanxi Province and Right Sergeant Liu Minkuan of the Ministry of Military Affairs visited Zhenbeitai and wrote the poem "Zhenbeitai":
The autumn sounds of the important town are very loud, and the tour is not for the stage.
Thousands of mountains stretch far into the clouds, and a stream of water comes from the desert.
Cui Kuo of Xuge is close to the sky, and the stopper is twirling around the earth.
With Gao Ji's eyes on the wolf Yanjing, it seems that it is Xiaoyao Diaoyuan.
Kung Gong City
On the east side of Zhenbei Tai, there is a "Qianggong City" built in the same period, with a circumference of 668 meters and an area of about 2 hectares. It offers tributes, gifts and trade talks to Mongolian and Han officials. Chengchi dangerous, and Zhenbeitai constitute a complete Yulin Great Wall building system.
800 meters southwest of Taiwanese, there is the Ming Dynasty Yima City, an area of about 6.5 hectares, is the city of Mongolian and Han folk free trade, but also the historical witness of the harmonious coexistence of Mongolian and Han nationalities.
Yi Ma Cheng
During the exchange period between Mongolia and Han in Hongshan City of Yima City, Mongolian herdsmen drove cattle, sheep, camels, horses and furs. Hans businessmen from all over the country also came to Hongshan City with large quantities of cloth, satin, salt tea, tobacco and wine. Here, herds of cattle and sheep, scales of bags, camels call horses, the voice of people, a bustling scene of trade between Mongolia and Han Dynasty.
In response, Yang Yun, a literati in the early Qing Dynasty, wrote in "Spring Outlook of Zhenbei Tai": Closing the door and opening up the wilderness, Niu and Yang came to the market day by day, after the wind and snow of ten thousand li spring, visitors pointed out Heliantai. People stood at the top of Zhenbeitai and looked around. They could see all the scenery for tens of miles. Southeast: the forest net farmland, vertical and horizontal channels, willows, as well as the vicissitudes of Yulin ancient city style, sparkling Yuxi River and the new modern city of Naxi Shalou; Northwest: is the scenery outside the fortress, countless green hills and dunes surrounded by oasis, under the platform: Yima City, Qianggong City, and Pinghu on the Red Stone Gorge and Gorge.

In case you have a website, you possess probably heard about web site hosting dedicated server 64gb ram, but chances are that you aren't really sure what web hosting really means. You know you have to have a host but can you be sure whether you will have the right company and whether you will find the best hosting to your site? This article has solid advice for helping you figure that out.
As well as those three concepts, we shall center on a few of the important features you need to take into consideration in choosing a web-based host.
Avoid selecting the cheapest web-hosting service available, and positively think long and hard before you go using a free one. If you are running a business online, your reputation may be severely damaged if you choose an unreliable hosting service. In addition, the free ones will often have advertisements which render it obvious you will be reluctant to fund a basic service that is crucial that you your livelihood.
Do not select a web host that does not offer automated billing or payment options because there might be outages in the server the outage could work for across a day. By choosing a hosting company which have automated options it can save you yourself a lot of time and trouble.
You must keep a backup of the site on your personal computer or over a flashdrive. In the event your hosting company is encountering major issues and you also cannot get access to your data, it is possible to switch to another host by merely uploading your blog to another server.
In choosing a hosting service for your personal website, ensure that you read reviews for any host you are interested in. You would not get a new car or even a new dishwasher without reading some reviews than it first. Exactly the same must be true when you are looking for a web host.
When choosing an online host, it's vital that you choose one which has excellent support. Although it's necessary for a host to have experience, they can't avoid all problems. Something is likely to go wrong sooner or later. When this occurs, possessing a solid support system set up is crucial. It is possible to test out a host's support system by sending within an email or a support ticket. When you don't obtain a response throughout the next couple of days, you then should probably search for another host.
Work out how much bandwidth you need before buying web hosts. Take into account that you will need more bandwidth if you are planning to incorporate photos or videos on your own website. Compare different bandwidth plans and buy an agenda that gives you a little bit more bandwidth than you need so that you have room to grow your blog.
The ideal web hosts provide you with many different tools that will help you increase your website. Some services let you build up your site from the beginning with an user friendly click and drag software or to use one in their templates, for example. Look for a service that accompanies the level of tools you require.
Go for a hosting company that includes a good track record of reliable uptimes and quick page loads. It is actually frustrating for your personal visitors once they notice that your website loads slowly or even certainly not. Should you be operating a web business, this is often detrimental. So shop around, and select a web-based host that may guarantee near 100% uptimes.
In case you are changing to a new host, you should utilize a redirecting page for 48 hours. Build a personalized page explaining why your site is moving to a new host with a connect to your web site. Make sure you go with a host that may guarantee you your web site will be up in two days.
Always check the speed and functionality of any web page hosting service prior to buying a plan from their website. You can do this easily all on your own, when you go to sites they host. Remember, however, that various websites could possibly have their own technical difficulties, therefore you may experience delays from your own computer. Check speeds out of various locations and computers.
In case a host on the net is able to maintain constant, dedicated server up-time and a bandwidth cap that is certainly beyond the reach of common procedures they may likely obtain a few fans.
Overall, you almost certainly determine what a fragile procedure this can be and also a better appreciation for individuals who must endure it you soon will. However, now you have the advantage of knowledge and also you must be able to grab a host without all of the secrecy and surprise the normal customer undertakes.
Thank you a lot for giving everyone remarkably superb opportunity to read critical reviews from this site. It is often so amazing plus packed with a lot of fun for me and my office colleagues to search your site at a minimum thrice in 7 days to read the newest guidance you have. Not to mention, I'm so actually pleased with your surprising creative ideas served by you. Selected 4 facts in this post are ultimately the very best we have ever had.
I wished to appreciate you yet again. I do not know the things that I would've made to happen without these tricks documented by you over such a area. It was actually a real difficult situation in my position, but considering a well-written technique you dealt with that made me to jump for fulfillment. Now i am thankful for this advice as well as believe you recognize what an amazing job that you're undertaking training people thru your web blog. I know that you haven't come across all of us.

Really old stuff …
Thanksgiving came about as late in the month as it can this year, leaving shoppers with fewer shopping days before Christmas. Even so, the only frantic shopping seems to be among those in search of the few deeply cut Black Friday specials whose limited quantities provoke near-unlimited mahem.
Queuing up at the crack of dawn or fighting over a parking space seems alien to me: whatever bargains may await can't be worth the hot tempers and high drama that accompany them.
Not that I avoided Black Friday altogether, but a few minutes and several clicks of the mouse were sufficient for the purchases I had in mind. Like others who prefer cyber-commerce to crowded stores, I worry more about how many shipping days are left before Christmas, rather than shopping days.
Photo by Ya'akov Vardi, Israel Antiquities AuthorityThat leaves more time to read up on really interesting stuff, like the recent discovery of the oldest building ever found in Israel: the remains of a house that go back 10,000 years, to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic age. The Levant has been occupied by so many people for so many thousands of years that important finds may turn up most anywhere, and all major construction projects must be preceded by an archaeological survey.
That's how these finds came to light, in advance of construction to widen Highway 38 near Beth Shemesh, in the Shephelah region southwest of Jerusalem. In addition to the house, which dates to the earliest transition from nomadic to settled life, archaeologists working with the Israeli Antiquities Authority discovered a 6,000-year-old building that appears to have served as a temple. Cultic use is indicated by the presence of a large standing stone that was smoothed on all sides and had no apparent purpose other than as an object of worship.
Just think for a minute about the significance of such finds: people had lived and farmed and worshiped there for thousands of years before Abraham was a twinkle in his mother's eye. Civilization in the area was already ancient when the Israelites first made their debut.
And speaking of Israelites, new finds from a dig at Shiloh include a stone altar that goes back to the Iron Age (roughly 1200-650 BCE). The altar, about two-feet square and 18 inches high, had been reused in a wall dating to the much-later Byzantine period. As such, it is very difficult to date precisely, though it has given rise to much speculation.
Could it be associated with the presence of the tabernacle at Shiloh where Eli and Samuel served toward the end of the period of the Judges? Does it suggest continued cultic activity at Shiloh even after the Philistines destroyed the city around 1100 BCE, not long before the emergence of the monarchy in Israel? Did worship and sacrifices continue at places outside of Jerusalem during the First Temple period, even though Deuteronomy called for a single site only? Enquiring minds want to know.
Scoring a new wifi-enabled tablet for $29 at Walmart may ring the bells for some folks, but I'll happily stick with old rocks and avoid the frenzy.

TKC BREAKING NEWS!!! CLAY CHASTAIN WRITE-IN CANDIDATE LAWSUIT THREATENS TO DELAY KANSAS CITY ELECTION!!! PROLIFIC PETITIONER DECRIES BIAS AGAINST CONSERVATIVES & CHRISTIANS!!!
Activist Clay Chastain launches another court battle and this time he's 100% correct about write-in space on the local ballot.
Write-in candidates serve an important function in a Democracy and a viable candidate put forth by the voters doesn't have to win but only has to create leverage in order to keep another candidate out of office . . . Write-ins are part of the Democratic process and Clay is fighting for this constitutional right.
Also worth pointing out . . . Clay Chastain seems to suggest that some his election hardships are due to his Christian & Conservative identity.
Here's his argument:
Clay files injunction petition in court to enable KC electors to run as write-in candidates in general election.
The increasing number of both lawsuits filed in court and petitions circulated against City Hall is directly proportional to City Hall's heavy-handed behavior and inept leadership. If our elected leaders would conduct themselves ably, in the open and in behalf of the people's interest - not corporate or special interest - then we concerned activists have other things we could be doing. But until then, here we go again....
Last week, City Hall's inside power players instructed the City Clerk not to place designated candidate write-in spaces on the upcoming general election ballot which she later delivered to the Kansas City Election Board (KCEB). This oppressive action to control yet another local election even though... there are not only write-in spaces provided on the national presidential ballot and Missouri's general election ballots, but there have also been past Kansas City general elections in which designated write-in spaces were provided on that ballot. The latest was 2007.
No doubt, those who now control City Hall (officially and unofficially) do not want pragmatic, independent-minded and conservative (perhaps even Christian-oriented, like myself) candidates on the City Council that would put the people's interest above the corporate and special interest.
One would assume that there are many electors of Kansas City that would like to run as a write-in candidate in the general because they too were disgusted as to how rigged (censorship in debates, the Star and other media playing favorites and, of course, all the big money that was flying around for certain establishment-oriented candidates) the primary election was.
The controllers at City Hall want to eliminate the write-in possibility because they do not want any anti-status quo candidates popping up on the general election ballot that might disrupt City Hall's on-going...
#1. tax incentives for frivolous flashy projects party,
#2. novelty streetcars for tourists and developers party,
#3. shiny finy new airport for the upper crust party,
#4. tax abated luxury condos and convention hotel party,
and, of course,
#5. City Hall's rigged elections and squashed petitions party. This ignoble City Hall party has been going on while the City has elevated itself to the 5th most dangerous City in America. Other City Hall awards include...one for decaying infrastructure and unaccredited schools, most potholes per square mile, most citizens moving to Johnson County (from anywhere else) and their most coveted- the most shady elections trophy.
In other words, if conscientious mavericks like myself were elected in the general election by the 85% of the KCMO voters that did not elect Jolie or Quinton in the primary, then City Hall's partying days would be over in a country second. Voters, if you all would show up at the polls we could oust these dishonorable guardians of our City.
Why do you think Kansas City has the two mayoral finalists it has? Because both Jolie and Quinton supported all of the above (1-5) political iniquities. Play along in Kansas City, you will get along in Kansas City.
For the record, I seek to run as a write-in candidate for the City's 4th In-District Council seat. Other caring open-minded and even conservative (we need balance at City Hall) electors, like Crosby Kemper, might want to run as a write-in candidate for mayor.
So today, I file an emergency injunction petition asking the circuit court to order the KCEB to make designated space on the City's 2019 general election ballot for write-in candidates that includes all 12 council positions and the position of mayor.
Clay Chastain

He's got a point about the city hall status quo.
Sly's Killer City said...
Damn bastard
#6 the asinine idea of voting in a rapid transit system going from the airport to union station to the zoo.
The blatant antipathy expressed toward us citizens and voters here is Shit Hole City by our luminous leadership and their morally decrepit lackeys should pretty obvious at this point.
Give Clay credit for adding some excitement to this otherwise unexciting and fixed election.
no write in slot is out of line, even though rapid transit to airport, which would never be rapid, would stop at every bad development that exists, and an invitation for more bad development everywhere in between, is asinine.
for a mere 15-20 billion dollars, if you started tomorrow, in a city already up to their neck in debt.
I'm voting for clay, the other two idiots don't deserve any votes
Lucifer said...
The city minions do not want anyone upsetting the status quo.
Time to get rid of KC election board
1. I didn't know that he was Christian, nor do I care.
2. I didn't know (and given his positions cannot believe) that he is Conservative nor do I care.
3. He wants to be mayor of a city he doesn't live in. That I care about. That is why I' "against" him.
We are getting a faggot this time, only question is gender or color ?
"Clay Chastain seems to suggest that some his election hardships are due to his Christian & Conservative identity."
This is a dog whistle. It's absolutely absurd.
It's official: He's a whack job.
Clay Chastain is a racist bigot and misogynist and everyone knows it except Clay Chastain?
Byron Funkhouser the Nazi with the German name claiming someone besides him is a whack job, now that's priceless.
Clay could never come even close to being as whacked as you are.
Reality Speaker said...
10:01 10:08 Reasons to vote for Clay. Thanks!
agentzero said...
6:40 for the win, hell of a flat energy with this retread machine mediocrity
And the entire metro continues to laugh at this ridiculous clown show.
THESE are the only candidates that KCMO can offer out of a population of over 465,000 residents?
Hahahaha!!
Of course everybody hates Conservatives! They're the worst! The absolute worst!
Hyperblogal said...
Although I could care less about Chastain, changing the election rules in this fashion does seem unwise and unnecessary.. he only got just over 300 votes when he was ON the ballot. Now the city is exposed in a lawsuit.
Clay has crossed over into noisy gadfly pretty quick. He's like our generation's skip sleyster only without a local tie nor the amusing "a moment of your time" columns.
Even when he is right about something he's not the effective front man for that message

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna have officially chosen a name for the daughter they're welcoming on November 16.
The Lashed salon owner had previously vowed to Elle.com that she and the 29-year-old Arthur George sock designer would not be selecting an obvious 'K' moniker.
On Sunday, Blac - born Angela White - and Rob attended a cloud-themed baby shower thrown in their honor at a private Woodland Hills estate.
Upon seeing the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, it was clear he's gained back the 50lbs. he dropped in April.
The former Dancing with the Stars contestant - who's said to be 'hovering around 300lbs' - was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes following his December 27 hospitalization.
Blac also has a three-year-old son King with her ex-fiancé - rapper Tyga - who's been dating Rob's half-sister Kylie Jenner since October 2014.

McLaren: A 'sensational' partnership with Mercedes is key to progress
McLaren boss Andreas Seidl says the big progress in his team's performance has been influenced by the fact that the Woking and Brixworth teams have done a sensational job. After a four-year collaboration with Honda that proved disastrous for both McLaren and the Japanese manufacturer, the British team made the switch to Renault's drive unit from 2018 to 2020 with which they made significant progress in results.
However, McLaren's decision to revive collaboration with Mercedes, the undisputed reference of F1 drive units since the start of the 2014 hybrid era, allowed the second most successful team in Premier Class history to return to the top of the grid and even threaten Mercedes and Red Bull - which turned out to be spectacular in Monza last month.
Although every department in Woking has contributed to McLaren's development and success, Seidl has praised the collaborative work that has been carried out between his team and Mercedes from the outset. "First of all, the lap time that the car sets is, of course, the result of the whole package, and the drive unit plays an important role in that," says Seidl.
"When we decided to go with the Mercedes engine, there was a clear reason for it - we wanted to have a drive unit that won the title in the rear of our car."
In addition to the success of the ongoing collaboration process, Seidl stressed that they were willing to switch to a new engine without any testing.
Seidl is extremely happy after the first months of cooperation, and it looks like this kind of cooperation will bring great results for both teams. For now, both teams have phenomenal results, and we have no doubt that they will continue like this "I'm very happy when I look at the first months of this relationship, how it started," the McLaren boss added.
"I think both teams in Brixworth and Woking did a sensational job over the winter, even under COVID's restrictions on integrating the drive unit into our car." "We were really ready from the first test, without any reliability issues," he assures.
As McLaren approaches the biggest contenders to win a Formula 1 title, is Seidl afraid the engine supplier could hamper his progress? The German resolutely rejected that such a thing could happen. "I am convinced that this will not stand in our way in the fight for titles in the future," concluded Andreas Seidl. It will be interesting to follow the continuation of cooperation between these two teams

2015 SUBARU WRX® 2.0-LITER TURBOCHARGED BOXER ENGINE NAMED TO WARD'S 10 BEST ENGINES LIST FOR 2015
New 268-hp 2.0-liter direct-injection turbocharged BOXER engine
258 lb.-ft. peak torque from 2,000-5,200 rpm makes performance accessible
Teamed to new 6-speed manual or new Sport Lineartronic™ transmission with manual mode
Cherry Hill, N.J. - December 10, 2014 - Subaru of America, Inc. has added yet another award to its expanding trophy case, with the 2015 WRX model's 2.0-liter turbocharged /intercooled 4-cylinder BOXER engine named to the prestigious Ward's 10 Best Engines list. Published by the respected automotive industry trade journal Ward's, and watched closely by auto industry insiders and consumers alike, Ward's 10 Best Engines is in its 21st year recognizing outstanding powertrain achievements in engineering, performance, drivability and efficiency.
The Subaru WRX, a global performance icon, was fully redesigned and re-engineered for 2015. The new-generation WRX debuted a new 268-horsepower 2.0-liter direct-injection turbo BOXER engine that's teamed to a choice of the model's first 6-speed manual transmission or a new, optional performance automatic transmission, the Sport Lineartronic® with manual mode. Each transmission is matched to a specific version of the brand's renowned Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Thomas J. Doll, president and chief operating officer of Subaru of America said: "We are proud of the new engine's performance and honored it has been recognized by Ward's."
The new WRX powertrain produces more power and torque from less displacement (2.0-liter vs. 2.5-liter in the previous model) and also yields higher fuel efficiency than the previous WRX (manual transmission). A stiffer, better handling chassis, a bold new wide-body sedan design and a roomier interior with upgraded cabin and new user technology make the 2015 WRX the most exhilarating ever. Active Torque Vectoring comes standard on all models.
Chosen from among a field of 37 powertrains evaluated by the Ward's editors, the 2015 Subaru WRX engine takes its place on a list that also includes some of the world's top sports and luxury cars. Notably, the naturally aspirated version of the Subaru FA Series 2.0-liter BOXER engine, which powers the BRZ sports car, was named a Ward's 10 Best Engine winner for 2013.
"Subaru delivers a new rally-car hotshot, the compact WRX sedan, and the 2.0L turbocharged 4-cyl. BOXER under the hood makes it, as one editor says, the best yet. Some editors achieved an outstanding 28 mpg (8.4 L/100 km), and this engine pairs up perfectly with a 6-speed manual that makes rowing through gears a thrill. This fleet-footed boxer steps into the ring with fire in its eyes," said Tom Murphy, Executive Editor of WardsAuto World digital magazine.
2015 WRX Boxer Details
The new WRX 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder BOXER engine uses a combination of direct fuel injection, high compression (10.6:1), Subaru Dual Active Valve Control System (D-AVCS), a twin-scroll turbocharger and an intercooler to achieve outstanding performance and high efficiency. The engine produces 268 horsepower at 5,600 rpm using 15.9 psi turbo boost, with a broad torque curve that peaks at 258 lb.-ft. over a 2,000-5,200 rpm engine speed range. With its equal 86mm bore and 86mm stroke dimensions, the WRX engine revs to a thrilling 6,700-RPM redline (6,500 rpm with Sport Lineartronic transmission) and sounds exciting through the special performance-tuned exhaust system.

There are a lot of love stories in Oliver County. Most of them start with two kids meeting in school and then progressing from there. But the love story of Bill and Bernice Etherington is different. Their journey through life together started with an odd meeting.
Berncie was born in Center and grew up in town.
The couple's odd meeting took place in 1954. When Bill's prized possession was his black 1948 Ford. Bernice said she remembered exactly how she was introduced to bill.
"He had a car. He came into Center one day and he splashed me and a couple of my friends with mud in the middle of the street. We were walking on a Sunday afternoon. That's how we met," Bernice said.

Faculty of Humanities Deans' Statement on Racial Injustices and State Violence
Over the last week, our news and social media feeds have documented the very legitimate expressions of rage, frustration, and grief in response to ongoing structural racism and systemic police/state violence against members of Black communities in the United States and Canada. These latest iterations of racism and violence are not new – they are integral of the logics of centuries-long anti-Black racism in both contexts. In addition, we know that Indigenous, Black, Asian, people of colour, and poor communities have been disproportionately impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic in a myriad of ways, including the escalation of anti-Asian racism. These effects are also not new – they are fundamental to the centuries-long logics of settler colonialism and racist violence against Indigenous peoples and Asian and people of colour communities.
The Faculty of Humanities and the University of Victoria are by no means immune. For us, this must be a time of reflection and renewed action.
We want to recognize the profound effects that these and other forms of racism and violence have on faculty, staff, and students in the Humanities, at UVic, and in broader communities. Even though we are working in virtual environments now and into the future, with our dialogue mediated through technologies, we are committed to centring your needs in this critical time and to the important work of decolonial, anti-racist, and social justice education and pedagogies in the Humanities and beyond.
For those of us who are not targeted, saying that we stand in solidarity with Indigenous, Black, Asian, and people of colour communities in this moment in history is not enough. There is an urgent need to be accountable and embed decolonial and anti-racist thinking, practice, and action into our everyday lives. There is an urgent need to stand up and speak out against racial injustices in all their often-interconnected forms.
And not just today.

I know it's a little early for Earth Day, but for some reason, our toastmasters club; Young Adult Toastmasters (YAT), decided to celebrate it early this year.
Anyways, I made due an orange tank top, my fabulous turquoise blazer, and some black slacks and boots. There! That's as earthy as I can get without using any floral.
The meeting all in all went very well. After delivering my first evaluation in a very long time, I thought I did a good job, despite being slightly unorganized and all over the place. Having finished the first two toastmaster manuals I was given, I thought I'd be a good public speaker by now, but it seems like I still have quite a lot to practice on.
Public speaking takes practice, confidence and quick thinking, that's what I've learned in my two years in toastmasters.
Yes! I have to do a lot of public speaking and confidence is key. I do a lot of deep breathing before I have to speak too!


Why isn't this event showing up on my calendar?
Often times, they have accidentally deleted the event when declining their RSVP. Simply send another invitation.

Jonah Goldberg: Perry, other Republicans selling their souls to Trump
JONAH GOLDBERG | National Review
"Let no one be mistaken: Donald Trump's candidacy is a cancer on conservatism, and it must be clearly diagnosed, excised and discarded," former Texas Gov. Rick Perry declared 10 months ago. Trump's candidacy, Perry added, represents "a toxic mix of demagoguery and mean-spiritedness and nonsense that will lead the Republican Party to perdition if pursued."
Lest you're thrown off by the alliteration, "perdition" means eternal damnation in hell.
Perry has since had an epiphany, selling his political soul for a seat on the Trump Train. He even says he's open to being Trump's running mate, which would make him a co-pilot (or co-conductor?) leading us down the tracks to hell. ("Can I blow the whistle, Mr. Trump?")
As Thomas More might say, "Why Rick, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world ... but to be Donald Trump's valet?"
Taking his words literally, Perry wants to make a deal with the devil. In this war on cancer, Perry wants to help cancer win "any way I can."
Perry is far from alone in his hypocrisy. With the exception of Sen. Ben Sasse, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and a handful of others (including, I hope, Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio), the Republican aristocracy is for the most part bending its knee to the new king, proving that much of the "establishment" is exactly as craven as Trump always claimed.
Those who do not yield can hear the executioner's axe sharpening against the wheel. Trump has dispatched one of his top minions, Sarah Palin, to punish Ryan for his effrontery in second-guessing Trump's commitment to conservatism. She said she'll work to defeat Ryan's re-election bid this fall.
"His political career is over," Palin said on CNN.
She'll probably fail, but the message is clear. The litmus test in the new Republican Party boils down to loyalty, not to a principle or conviction, but to a man: Trump.
It's a cult of personality, pure and simple. One cannot even agree with Trump on his "policies," because that is like committing to the blob in a lava lamp. Less than a week after Trump became the presumptive nominee, he'd already thrown his tax plan in the dustbin of history — the very tax plan that Trump could never talk about intelligently, which nonetheless seduced, or suckered, so many supply-siders to his cause.
The GOP platform can now be written on a bumper sticker: "In Trump We Trust."
That was the upshot of Trump's weekend interviews. When ABC's George Stephanopoulos asked Trump if he needed party unity, the businessman shrugged. Unity's nice, Trump said. But he doesn't need it. He's more interested in winning the loyalty of Bernie Sanders' socialist brigades than he is in persuading conservatives he's one of them.
"I have to stay true to my principles also," Trump told Stephanopoulos. "And I'm a conservative, but don't forget: This is called the Republican Party, not the Conservative Party."
When Trump says "I'm a conservative," picture a car salesman insisting, "I'm a Tito Puente fan too." It's just something he's saying to close the deal. As for his adamantine principles, there is only one: The limelight belongs to him alone. (That is why Trump is reportedly considering speaking every night at the GOP convention.)
Conservatives who still have the courage of Perry's former convictions have no role in the party so long as Trump's running it. He has admitted he doesn't want or need Reaganite conservatives; he'd rather rely on the rank and file supporters of a socialist instead.
For conservatives, party unity is another way of saying "suicide pact." I will never vote for Hillary Clinton because she believes things I can never support. I will never vote for Donald Trump because he's a bullying fool who believes in nothing but himself.
The conservative movement can wait out a Clinton presidency intact. But Perry was right. A Trump presidency is a ride straight to perdition, with a capital H.

Impressions: Deca Sports 2
by Cory Birdsong on August 30th, 2009
Hudson was cool enough to send us a pre-release demo of their upcoming "Wii" Sports-alike sequel "Deca Sports 2." How does it hold up in this post-MotionPlus/"Wii Sports Resort" world? Not too well, I'm afraid.
Four games were included in the demo disc we received: ice hockey, dodge ball, darts, and pétanque. It has a very "Wii Sports" aesthetic to the whole package, including the art in the menus and some creepily implemented Mii-style avatars. On all the team games, you can choose which positions your teammates play, but the only difference seemed to be how large they were, and I couldn't really figure out any way that affected gameplay. Anyway, the four games:
Ice hockey. It's hockey! Five on five including the goalie. Move around with the nunchuck. Hold a button and waggle to pass, and hold and release a button to shoot. At one point, I managed to knock one of the guys on the other team down, but I am not sure how, and the controls screen didn't say how.
In the end, this is ice hockey's downfall. It's not terrible, but it's way too simple to be engaging for more than a few minutes total. I don't expect a hockey sim, but there needs to be a bit more to it than this to be compelling. Overall rating: .
Dodge ball. I was looking forward to dodge ball. I mean, Super Dodge Ball was really awesome! Unfortunately, this dodge ball game is not. You have a team of four, and move them around in one cohesive unit, like synchronized swimmers or perhaps a line of foosball men. It's pretty silly.
Throwing is not very good either. All of the buttons are just throw, from what I can tell, and it randomly decides if it's going to throw the ball at the opposing team or just to another teammate on the other side of the court. Catching is the sole bright spot in this entire game. You have to press Z and B simultaneously as the ball hits your character, which vaguely recalls the feeling of grabbing a dodge ball as it hits you in real life. Unfortunately, not enough to save this minigame. Overall rating: .
Darts. Instead of darts, they should call this game "trying to move the Wii remote forward steadily while holding A and B simultaneously." It's nearly impossible to aim for the small multiplier spaces on the dartboard, and sometimes you can't even hit the larger targets. MotionPlus might've helped, but it's more likely it would've just made it that much harder. The darts minigame in "WarioWare" was better. Overall rating: .
Pétanque. The savior of this demo disc. I had no idea what pétanque was before this, so let me give you the basics: Try to land big metal balls next to a small rubber ball. Up to four players alternate throws based on who is closest. It's basically all about swinging the Wii Remote a certain distance in a straight line (think vanilla "Wii Sports" golf), but the fun really comes from the ability to knock the target ball and the other player's balls around with yours. This is the only game I'd consider playing again. Overall rating: .
"Deca Sports 2" releases Sept. 29.

Here we are about two-thirds of the way through Season 1 and it's Episode 16 time!
My conversation with Porsche Taylor, the founder and editor of Black Girls Ride magazine, was fantastic, fun, breezy and wide-ranging. It was my first "phoneterview" involving somebody I'd never met, and she made it a wonderful experience.
I get the feeling Porsche is at home talking about anything motorcycle-related to anybody, any time. I'm glad I get to share our conversation with you, because I learned a lot. I know a good number of women who ride, but few of them are black, so I was excited to hear Porsche's stories and perspective on the world of motorcycling.
You'll hear a lot of yourself in our discussion, and Porsche's passion for motorcycling comes through like a hot knife cutting through butter. (I'm working on incorporating one cheesy cliché into each episode's entry, so that's #2 for you!) You can also find out why I had an irresistible urge to rewatch the movie Biker Boyz.
The news in this episode looks at Royal Enfield's sales numbers, new bikes from Indian and Zero, and Harley-Davidson's stock price woes and their investment in a California e-motorcycle startup.
59.37 MOA Plug: join us at a Getaway!
Episode 17 will be out on 19 March and will feature a discussion with Rod Copes, CEO of Royal Enfield USA. April episodes will feature Court Butler of Butler Maps and photographer Alexander Pain and the season will run to the end of May.
Thanks for listening, and we'll see you out there somewhere on the road – or off it! Ride safe.
Thanks for your comment, Ken. I think if you start a magazine (or website, or TV show or radio show or podcast), you can call it pretty much anything you like. I'm not sure if you listened to the episode or not, but Porsche is quite clear that the magazine is inclusive of all women, no matter their ethnicity. A quick review of the available issues on the website shows a variety of women featured as well.
As for the men vs. women thing, I have to say that's a closed-minded attitude. Most motorcycle magazines available now are run by men and their content is quite often aimed squarely at men. There's nothing inherently inappropriate about appealing to an underserved demographic with your product – whether it's black women or all women.
Thanks again for your comment, and I hope you take the time to listen to the episode. I think you'll find it educational.

An 'exotic' photograph from Lau's book Picturing the Chinese: Early Western Photographs and Postcards of China.
In the Chinese calendar, 2023 sees in the Year of the Rabbit, and photographer Grace Lau was born under this zodiac sign. Her themes reflect the attributes of the year, with creativity and sensitivity, and are full of surprises.
Written by: Fiona Keating
"The outsider in society is rejected because they represent a threat to the values and stability of that society," wrote Ken Kesey in his book One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. This is certainly true of Lau's work. She says that "being Chinese, a feminist photographer, and over 70 years of age places me outside the mainstream."
Her intent is to raise awareness of stereotyping and prejudices, to encourage questions and debate, and to respond as an artist to social issues. Lau's work has been exhibited widely, including at the National Portrait Gallery and Tate Britain in London, Photofusion London, Turner Contemporary Margate and Aberystwyth Arts Centre, Wales.
Reversing the roles. Seeing the British as 'exotic'.
Her latest work looks at issues of race and imperial history, using the example of Westerners' archival photographs taken in China during the 19th century. In 2004, Lau was commissioned by Joint Publishing in Hong Kong to write an illustrated book called Picturing the Chinese: Early Western Photographs and Postcards of China. It tells the story of Western photography in China, with events such as the Opium War and the Boxer Rebellion – the images photographed provided some of the first images of China by British photographers.
Lau decided to turn the trope on its head – as a photographer of Chinese heritage, she would create images of the British as 'exotic'. In 2005, with an Arts Council grant, Lau created a portrait project using a Victorian Oriental portrait studio that was set up on the Hasting seafront, and passers-by were invited to come in and have their picture taken.
"By reversing roles, I had become the Chinese photographer documenting the exotic modern Western subjects in Hastings as 21st-century types. They saw a female Chinese photographer in a very exotic studio with a sign saying Free Portraits Taken and they wandered in. That's what I wanted – 21st-century modern types with their plastic bags, sunglasses, and mobile phones."
Photographer Grace Lau in her oriental studio.
But it was a little more subversive than that, says Lau. The photographer sees it as a comment on how Europeans used to look at the Oriental' other'. "I did a reverse take on that putting the exotic 'other' Westerner into my studio and taking their portraits. It addresses subversive racism, and at the same time, it's also about portraiture in the 21st century – how people project their identities and roles."
Lau also sees it as a continuation of her former work – a fetish project. When she was studying for her BA photography degree, she was looking for subjects to photograph. A friend took her to an underground fetish club in Soho. "It was really gobsmacking seeing people all dressed up in their leather, rubber, and with edgy sexuality – but no actual sex was going on. They were play-acting dominant and submissive roles, so there were slaves and mistresses, girls in splendid outfits with lace and feather."
The ten-year project, which involved visiting underground clubs, parties and events, resulted in her book Adults in Wonderland, published in 1997 by Serpents Tail. As Lau recalls her observations at the fetish clubs, "There were people from all walks of life – MPs, judges, taxi drivers, and teachers – people who had responsibility in their lives who perhaps wanted a bit of irresponsible play-acting roles. A contrast to what they have to deal with in their ordinary lives."
Lau is a voyeur, an outside eye, an interloper who casts her Hasselblad lens on different worlds. "I'm always looking to see how the 'other' regard themselves and how the 'other' can look back at the mainstream. There was always an edginess to my work. There's an investigation going on. A voyeur is a good term to use as a photographer – they are not just pretty pictures but looking into a darker aspect of society."
Lau says that as a photographer, she creates a disturbance in the status quo "to provoke questions and encourage people to be more curious about society. Not to take things for granted or be too comfortable. To create a little ripple on a calm sea."
Even though Lau was brought up in England, she has always felt slightly marginalised. Not being white, she can see people's reactions, perhaps a flicker of surprise in their eyes, when she says she was brought up in England.
Her parents were refugees from the Communists in China and came to live in London during the 1930s. Her father was a diplomat, and her mother a poet, so Lau was brought up in an intellectual and artistic home. Her father was a gifted Chinese calligrapher, and their Hampstead residence was often filled with Chinese philosophers and artists who were lavishly entertained at the Chinese banquets they held.
This is Lau's favourite death portrait. Judy likes her wine and is wearing her favourite dress for this portrait.
As Lau explains: "They were not the Chinese from the restaurant society; they came over earlier, due to political and civil unrest in China – they came with a group of intellectuals who were fearful of being persecuted."
Perhaps because of this early experience and her parents being refugees from an oppressive regime, Lau says she is drawn to photographing fringe society rather than the mainstream.
"For instance, I don't like doing wedding or baby photographs, and I have been asked to do this many times. I'm afraid I just can't do it."
So if you want your child portrayed in a cutesy way, don't ask Lau to shoot the picture. "I have to look for something a little more edgy and dark, so when babies cry – that's my portrait – not when a baby is cooing. I've done a few wedding portraits, but I've always taken the shot when people were falling over or when there was a little bit of a mishap – something they wouldn't normally show in a photo album."
Personal tragedy also informs Lau's work. Several friends of Lau committed suicide in a short space of time. "Attending three funerals in one year was very upsetting."
As a result of this time of grief was another photography project entitled Ad/dressing Death, a series of portraits of people posed in a specially made coffin, wearing their favourite clothes and holding an item they would want to take with them.
But this project had a strong effect on Lau, and after taking a few portraits, the photographer decided to call it a halt as "it became a bit too morbid for me."
Lau is returning to her theme of photographing the British as exotic. She is travelling to Southampton for the start of the Chinese New Year on 22 January. The project has been co created with the local Chinese community in Southampton. The photographer says the seaside town "has a very diverse society, so I will set up my studio there to offer portraits to all the shoppers coming to the town centre and those celebrating Chinese New Year."
2023 sees in the Year of the Rabbit, and Lau was born under this sign. In Chinese culture, the rabbit is a symbol of longevity, peace and prosperity. 2023 is predicted to be a year of hope. People born in the year of the rabbit are believed to be vigilant, witty, quick-minded and ingenious, much like Lau's thought-provoking photography projects.
Grace Lau: Portraits In a Chinese Studio is presented by John Hansard Gallery, Southampton, as part of their Co-Creating Public Space programme.

Honestly more of a warlock, right? I remember Dorn Il-Khan, the blackguard 'paladin,' had a "patron." A fiendish patron. Kinda seems like a pact of the fiend warlock. Otherwise, wouldn't a blackguard, in terms of 5e, just be an Oathbreaker paladin?
