Mr. Saha is an excellent tax consultant and probably the best for marine taxation in the eastern zone. He has done an excellent job for my case in terms of quality and legal documentation. Mr. Saha is extremely confident and truly a one stop solution for all legal income tax problems mainly related to marine matters. I am sure that in eastern zone no one can do a job such confidently and solving IT related legal matters at a record time. He is very transparent and always advising his client step by step what he is doing. We may find many people or agencies filing income tax return with a small fee. But in case of any scrutiny from IT department, they will not be able to provide any solution. It is better to stick to someone who not only files IT return but can give mental peace while you can continue with your own work.

Wonderful experience, know Debraj personally as a thorough professional and a good human being. Very prompt service and high quality. Fully satisfied with D. Saha & Co. and they are a great value for the clients.
This company is professionally managed firm with all the right procedures in place. As a marine engineer initially sailing with Indian and Foreign flagged vessels, and then becoming a non resident Indian, the normal filing work and advice on finance related matters in my opinion was very sharp and matured. These were exactly the type of working and advice that would help me with respect time savings, considering the paucity of time with professionals in my field of work. With this professional support I can find more time for matters which money cannot buy..

Very co-operative, prompt & responsive, Mr. Saha & his team handles the Taxation matters very efficiently for individuals working & residing overseas. D Saha & Co is highly recommended.

What Are the Causes of Tartar on Human Teeth?
© worlddental.org
When you open your mouth while looking in the mirror, you noticed this crust-like thing stuck on the borders between your gums and teeth. No matter how hard you try, you cannot seem to remove it by yourself. This incrustation that forms on the teeth and gums is called teeth tartar, or known as dental calculus to the dental professionals.
What is tartar?
© familysmilesdental.com
A last stage in the maturation of some dental plaques is characterized by the appearance of mineralization in the deeper portions of the plaque to form dental calculus. The term calculus is derived from the Latin word meaning pebble or stone. The lay term, tartar, refers to an accumulated sediment or crust on the sides of a wine cask. Some people do not form calculus, others form only moderate amounts, and still others form heavy amounts.
Why do I need to remove tartar?
Tartar itself is not harmful. However, a layer of unmineralized, viable, metabolically active bacteria that are closely associated with the external calculus surface is potentially disease causing. Calculus cannot be removed by brushing or flossing. It is often difficult to remove all the calculus, even dental cleaning professionally, without damaging the tooth, especially the softer root cementum.
However, calculus needs to be removed because its presence makes routine oral hygiene more difficult or even impossible by forming calculus spurs. These structures may contribute to plaque accumulation and stagnation. Dental tartar removal is also a requirement to regenerate lost or damaged tissues supporting the teeth following treatment.
© drmuna.com
In addition to local factors such as poor oral hygiene and overlapped teeth, behavioral and systemic conditions may affect calculus formation. For example:
Smoking causes an accelerated formation of calculus.
Children afflicted with asthma or cystic fibrosis form calculus at approximately twice the rate of other children.
Similarly, mentally handicapped individuals, tube-fed over long periods, may develop heavy calculus within 30 days, despite the fact that no food passes through the mouth.
Conversely, medications such as beta-blockers, diuretics, and anticholinergics can result in significantly reduced levels of calculus. This can be caused by either the medications were excreted directly into the saliva, affecting the rate of crystallization, or altered the composition of the saliva and thus indirectly affected calculus formation.
Calculus formation is related to the fact that saliva is saturated with respect to calcium and phosphate ions. Precipitation of these elements leads to mineralization of dental plaque giving rise to calculus. The crystals in calculus include hydroxyapatite, brushite, and whitlockite, all of which have different proportions of calcium and phosphate in combination with other ions, such as magnesium, zinc, fluoride, and carbonate.

Supragingival calculus forms on the tooth above the gingival margin, and frequently develops opposite the duct orifices of the major salivary glands. It is often found where saliva pools on the inner surfaces of the lower front teeth, and can form in the fissures of teeth. Subgingival calculus forms from calcium phosphate and organic materials derived from serum, which contribute to mineralization of plaque beneath the gumline.
Subgingival calculus is about 60% mineralized, whereas supragingival calculus is only about 30% mineralized. Because it is harder, thinner, and more closely adapted to tooth surface imperfections, subgingival calculus can be more difficult to remove than supragingival calculus.
The two types of calculus may differ in color. Supragingival calculus, which derives its mineral content from saliva, usually appears as a yellow to white mass with a chalky consistency. Subgingival calculus, which derives its mineral from the inflammatory exudate in the sulcus and gum pocket, appears gray to black in color and has a flint-like consistency. The dark coloration may be caused by bacterial degradation of components of the exudate from bleeding that accompanies gums inflammation.
Subgingival calculus © ncl.ac.uk
Alkaline conditions in dental plaque may be an important predisposing factor for formation of tartar on teeth. Calculus formation is not restricted to one bacterial species, or even to those growing at neutral or slightly acidic pHs. Not all plaques mineralize, but a plaque that is destined to mineralize begins to do so within a few days of its initial formation, even though this early change is not detectable at a clinical level. Mineralization usually begins in the intercellular plaque matrix but eventually occurs within the bacterial cells.
Are there any ways to reduce tartar formation?
Several agents are currently available to reduce calculus formation, including dentifrices that contain pyrophosphate, or metal ions such as zinc. One dentifrice for tartar control contains two soluble phosphates, tetrasodium pyrophosphate and disodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate, in addition to fluoride. The pyrophosphate ion not only serves to disrupt the formation of calcium phosphate crystals, but also inhibits some bacterial growth at concentrations significantly lower than the levels found in dentifrices.

On 24 February, voters will vote, after a three-month consultation, on the draft of the future Constitution. The right to marriage for all has focused the debates.
The Cubans have the floor. On 24 February, they will have to vote on the new Constitution, after the adoption on Saturday of a final version by the 583 deputies (out of the 605 in the National Assembly) present at the time of the vote in the Havana Convention Centre. Far from being a mere formality, the future fundamental text, which should replace the one adopted by referendum on 24 February 1976, is supposed to be in line with the social, political and above all economic upheavals that have been taking place on the "Big Island" for more than a decade.
The Constitution submitted to the vote is the result of the popular consultation process carried out throughout the country from 13 August to 15 November. In his speech to the parliamentarians, the Secretary of the Council of State, Homero Acosta Alvarez, recalled that no fewer than 133,681 meetings had been held in companies and work places, in districts and universities, attended by more than 8.5 million Cubans (out of a total population of 11.5 million). A total of 783,174 proposals, amendments, additions, modifications and deletions - including 2,125 from abroad, which is a first - have been considered. Nearly 760 changes involving more than 10,000 converging views were included, modifying up the 224 articles initially submitted for debate.
In its latest version, the draft Constitution reaffirms major principles already in force, such as the socialist nature of the revolution. On the economic level, it recognizes private property alongside State and cooperative forms, thus substantially modifying outdated semantics aimed at qualifying a private employer as a "cuenta propista" (employee working on his own account). The limitation of the term of office of the President of the Republic - which has already applied to Raul Castro - as well as the age limit for exercising it, was also debated, with nearly 74,450 people voting against a two-term limit.
The disagreements were such that even supporters of marriage for all said they wanted to postpone this progress, lest it be perceived as a tour de force by the authorities, after President Miguel Diaz-Canel, Raul Castro and other communist leaders and elected officials had spoken out in favour of this new right.
"We have sought the necessary balance because the Constitution must generate consensus in society," said Homero Acosta, acknowledging that this had not been the case. The new article 82 will not provide a definition of the "subject" candidate for marriage. It employs the term "conjoint", considering that official union is certainly one of the forms of family organization but not the only one. On the other hand, this very timid compromise is subject to a future change in the Family Code within two years, which will also be the result of a popular consultation. "The new formula includes the essence of the previously proposed section. It erases the binary character of gender and heteronormity as defined in the 1976 Constitution. The substitution of "persons" by "conjoints" maintains the possibility that everyone can access the marital institution (...). There is no setback," said MP Mariela Castro, known for her commitment to LGBTI rights at the National Centre for Sexuality Education. It's up to the Cubans to decide.
"Without bureaucracy, dogma or formalism"
President Diaz-Canel welcomed the process. The future Constitution reaffirms "the socialist course of the revolution" and guarantees "better inclusion, justice and social equality", he recalled. In his conclusions stated before the deputies, the Head of State called for more efforts in the economic sector, "the most awaited by the people", and for it not to be hindered "by the bureaucracy". "There is a need to be more consistent with the broad lines approved by our party. It is time to act without dogma or formalism, by combining mixed enterprises, state and non-state sectors," Diaz-Canel stressed.

Australia approves BHP's Olympic Dam mine
by Sonali Paul and James Regan
BHP Billiton moved closer to an estimated $ 20 bn to $ 30 bn expansion of its Olympic Dam copper and uranium mine after winning environmental approvals for the project in the deserts of southern Australia.
The approvals give BHP the green light to nearly quadruple the mine's copper output to 750,000 tons annually to help feed a growing market in Asia, especially China, where copper consumption is forecast to surge 6 % this year. BHP, expected to make a final decision in mid-2012, now has to weigh up the 150 conditions imposed by the national and South Australia state governments as part of assessing the mine's feasibility.
Once fully expanded, Olympic Dam would be on near-par with the massive copper mines of South America, though it would take years before it came close to matching the output of BHP's giant Escondida lode in Chile.
"It'll help balance the market and to that extent it's slightly bearish, but the market's been looking at this expansion for some time," said Citigroup analyst David Thurtell. "I'm not sure whether anyone expected the Dam to be knocked back by the government."
The national and South Australia governments are keen for the project to go ahead because of the thousands of jobs it is expected to create.
As part of the conditions, BHP has agreed to set aside a chunk of land roughly the size of London as an environmental buffer zone and to monitor the impact of the mine on birds and fish inhabiting hundreds of km surrounding the Olympic Dam mine site. It will also construct a desalination project and pipes to bring seawater to the mine from over 300 km away.
"The strict conditions I've imposed will help ensure protection of the natural environment, including native species, groundwater and vegetation, for the long term," Environment Minister Tony Burke said.
The proposal is also subject to independent reviews by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency, since an expansion would also lift annual uranium production to 19,000 tons from around 4,000 tons now.
Feeding China's demand
Rio Tinto, which is helping develop Mongolia's giant Oyu Tolgoi copper mine and is partnership with BHP Billiton at Escondida, estimates total global demand for refined copper is expected to rise by more than 40 % to 27 mm tons by 2020.
BHP Billiton has yet to reveal the cost of the expansion, but analysts rank it as possibly the single biggest on the drawing board of the world's biggest miner, estimating costs of between $ 20 bn and $ 30 bn. The project would require assembling one of the world's largest fleet of earth movers, with geologists estimating that it would take four or five years just to expose the ore body.
The expansion would also extend the life of the mine from about 20 years to more than 100 years.
Demand for refined copper in China has been increasing due to rapid development in telecommunications, power, equipment manufacturing, automobiles, construction and consumer goods. Chile is currently the largest producer of mined copper, followed by other major producers such as Peru, the United States and Australia.
Thurtell said it may be too early to size up the impact of the Olympic Dam project on the global copper market.
"It's too far away, who knows what will happen to the market by then. Maybe the market might still be in deficit so it'll only partly fill the gap."
The clearances by the South Australia state government follow a six-year review of the expected impact of the expansion on everything from air quality in neighbouring towns to cuttlefish in the Spencer Gulf. The company will need more than 600 licenses and permits to meet these requirements.
BHP Billiton will also be allowed to expand its smelter, build an ore concentrator and other plants to process the additional ore and dump waste rock in a 150-meter high pile covering 67 sq km (26 sq miles).
The plan also includes an airport, gas-fired power station, 320-km pipeline and a 105-km rail line.
The company has said it would put the project up for board approval in stages, with phase one, digging the open pit, up for sign-off around June 2012 and phase two, including building the concentrator, 18 months to 2 years later.

Banteay Samré (Khmer: ប្រាសាទបន្ទាយសំរែ) is a temple at Angkor, Cambodia located east of the East Baray. Built under Suryavarman II and Yasovarman II in the early 12th century, it is a Hindu temple in the Angkor Wat style.
Named after the Samré, an ancient people of Indochina, the temple uses the same materials as the Banteay Srei.
Large, comparatively flat temple displaying distinctively Angkor Wat-style architecture and artistry. The temple underwent extensive restoration this century by archaeologists using the anastylosis method. Banteay Samre was constructed around the same time as Angkor Wat. The style of the towers and balustrades bear strong resemblance to the towers of Angkor Wat and even more so to Khmer temple of Phimai in Thailand. Many of the carvings are in excellent condition. Banteay Samre is a bit off the Grand Circuit, near the southeast corner of the East Baray. The trip there is a nice little 3km road excursion through villages and paddies. Combine a visit to Banteay Srey with a stop at Banteay Samre on the way back.


2018 Thousand rankings will be released Friday, June 29, 2018. America's Best will release on Tuesday, July 10, 2018. Both can be found on www.realtrends.com once available.
An individual must have closed 50 transaction sides or $20 million in closed sales volume for the prior year. A team must have closed 75 transaction sides or $30 million in closed sales volume for the prior year.
Whats Included in the numbers?
Only closed, residential transactions. Commercial sales and leases/rentals should not be included.
What are the rules for new development and mixed-use sales?
If a commercial property is bought to be turned into residential, it cannot be counted. The sale will later be counted when the newly developed residential deal sells. Mixed use, must only count the portion that is residential.
An agent who works alone, under a brokerage company, does not share transactions or commissions with other Buyer or Seller agents on their transactions and who may employ unlicensed or licensed, non-selling administrative staff is an INDIVIDUAL AGENT.
All others will be considered TEAMS for purposes of our study.
REAL Trends will no longer produce a special report for top agents and teams by average sales price.
REAL Trends no longer allows an individual within a team to break out their individual production and submit that way. If you are in a team, you will have to submit as a team regardless and 2) When a Team and a Brokerage are owned by the same person(s) the Team production must be filed separately. Those in the Top 20 will be required to show your tax return/GCI as well as the entire brokerage's tax return/GCI. They cannot be the same.
This ranking, which is advertised in The Wall Street Journal, is a ranking of all agents across the U.S. and is broken down into four categories ranking the top 250 individuals by transaction sides, individuals by sales volume, teams by transaction sides, and teams by sales volume.
Any agent that submits to our ranking, meets the minimum qualifications, and provides verification will be ranked on America's Best via their state and metropolitan statistical area. America's Best developed as the result of agents and consumers requesting more localized rankings. America's Best is separate from The Thousand, even though it's comprised from the same application pool, and is not associated with The Wall Street Journal.
We accept any of the following four types of verification: Verification from the local or state Realtor® association which the sales professional or sales team has a membership, a signed letter from the broker/owner (Note: broker/owners cannot sign off on their own submissions), copy of 1099 or business tax return for 2016, OR the national network which the sales professional or sales team has its affiliation. The top 20 may be required to submit an additional, second form of verification.
Last year I only saw 250 names on The Thousand, why aren't there 1,000?
The Thousand is made up of the top 250 in each of the four categories (individuals by sides, individuals by sales volume, teams by sides, teams by sales volume) to equal 1,000 total in the rankings. The list posted online is the complete rankings.
I paid, will I automatically be on the rankings?
No, the $100 application fee goes towards administrative costs and does not guarantee you will make the rankings. An application with your production numbers must be submitted along with 3rd party verification to be included. Failure to submit verification will automatically disqualify you from the rankings.
Please contact Doniece Welch at REAL Trends ([email protected] or 303-741-1000) as your application may not have gone through or the email may have gotten stuck in junk mail. We'll be more than happy to re-send you the confirmation email for your records.
Why should I submit for these rankings?
Agents may use their rankings and respective logos in their marketing and on their websites. Those on our rankings represent the top 1% of all real estate professionals nationwide. REAL Trends will provide a FREE press kit to use for marketing. In 2017, there were over 500,000 pageviews on our rankings pages. Our rankings provide added exposure for agents and teams, including exclusive partnerships that allow agents and teams included on The Thousand and America's Best to gain more exposure to consumers.
Does REAL Trends offer a Marketing Package?
Should you have any ideas regarding ways we can add value for the agents and teams who make these final prestigious rankings we would like to hear from you. Email us at [email protected].

We spent this weekend at the Phoenix Comicon and had a lovely time. I got to see many friends, tons of fantastic costumes, and we felt as though we had a grand adventure.
One of the things I love about Comicon is that while it exists to promote comics, film, games, etc., it has evolved to be all about people embracing exactly the things that got them beat up for on the school playground. An extreme celebration of everything geek. A minority group struggling for acceptance that is coming into it's own.
Gendered and genderless themes abound here, as they often do. The problem of well defined gender roles and gender identification has always been a bug of mine. Raised during the period of FREE TO BE YOU AND ME my childhood was mix of tradition and breaking tradition. (Sesame Street was AWESOME too.) Or as I like to think of it; moving towards the light and evolving.
Yes, men have always had the power, but in this game of strict gender roles the only thing equal is the screwing over that we all get–men included. I attended a panel on bullying that was given by Kids Need To Read. A great organization that promotes literacy. One of the things that was said contributes to bullying is the absence of the father in the house. The way I see it, what contributes greatly to bullying and the absence of the father is those damned gender definitions. As a society we are groomed to reject anyone who does not fit into the defined roles of man and woman. Scared that our kids won't be accepted, we criticize them in order to shape them into acceptable human beings. Because it is important, often survival depends on being accepted by the societal group. However, this is bullying pure and simple.
I watched a show on television about a tribe of people in the South American jungle. They are fierce warriors. This training starts at birth. The parents and older siblings tease the small child and poke them with sticks until they cry and then they ridicule them in order to make them tough. I see no difference between this and what we do to our children at times.
A while ago when I was standing in line at a convenience store, a boy was reacting to being told 'no' by his father for something he'd asked for–as children often do. The father turned to him with a fierce expression and said; "You sound like a woman!"
"You (insert any verb here) like a girl!" Holy emasculation Batman! ANYTHING BUT BEING LIKE A GIRL!!!
I have had conversations about the differences of male VS female with people. I get that there are people who are masculine and feminine and it's a good thing too. But for the love of everything emotionally healthy, there is little difference. We are all human and men are just as emotionally angsty as women. Oh yes they are, and it's all good.
We have such strict standards for the men in our lives. Who can blame them for giving up and leaving?
This is another thing I love about the comicon; gender freedom. Whee! But it isn't complete, there was plenty of porno-misogynistic bullshit to go around. Lots of women offering themselves up as idolized body parts coupled with the men that love to hate and exploit them. Much more creepy than any creeping soul sucker from a nether dimension bent on killing off the human race from the latest video game who was also crawling around the conference hall. I would rather hang with the zombies than the hooter-seekers.
In one of the break-out sessions, two of my author/illustrator friendso were talking about illustrating. As I listened to these two beautiful men speak on the heels of the bullying presentation, I realized that here were two great examples of people who have survived and transcended that damned male gender gauntlet.
Adam Rex who is a brilliant artist and author infuses humor and emotion into his work. With gentle affection, fearless creativity, and dry humor that's relentless with spot-on hilarity. As I sat and listened to him, I could him leading Peter out of Neverland and then watching Adventure Time with the Lost Boys. This man always inspires me, but his connection to his readers is solid and essential.
James Owen who has a wicked sense of humor, insane business ethic, and is also brilliant and creative. James has taken up motivational speaking in addition to the reams of art and writing he puts out. I've seen grown men weep at his talks.
I know the reason for the tears. FREEDOM. As a woman, I understand this intimately. Men are long due societal freedom from the oppression of terms like "manly man", "a good man", "boys will be boys", and that oldie but nauseating "don't be such a girl."
There is an importance for boys to see that a man can also be a fully-formed functioning human who is openly emotional and creative and confidant. Both of these men are fantastic examples of this. I want to clone them and send them to every school around the globe. Fortunately, they aren't the only ones and I'm hoping that one day soon our society will shift over to the place where men don't feel as though they must flee, drink/drug themselves into oblivion, or commit suicide.
Another "good man" and resource for putting a stop to bullying and/or supporting your child who is struggling with bullying or their school work is Rick LaVoie. The man has a ton of educational experience and is fantastic as what he does.
I'm looking forward to next year's comicon and a brighter, gender liberating, future.

The original sound might not be as good as its echo. Krasnozavodsk town centre, the annual town celebration, and the singer's voice is lost in the labyritnh of the nearby five storey blocks of flats.
This is a great recording. It really gives the feeling of a weekend afternoon stretching away for hours. It feels as though the listener isn't committed to being outside where the music is playing, but isn't committed to staying inside either. Nice work.
Hello and thank you, you are quite right – it was my duty to be there but I'd rather prefer to move somewhere else. What I exactly did!

Chronicling the Evolution Of America's Public Housing
Washington museum exhibit showcases safe, clean living environments
By Amy Kaslow Special to The Christian Science Monitor
In an era when national problems quickly reach the status of "crisis" - savings and loan, health care, and a long list of others - the public-housing crisis may be considered the dean.
It has logged a lot of history, and it has an assured impact on the next generation.
Sheltered by Design, a five-month-long exhibit at the National Building Museum, walks us through what works.
With photographs, renderings, and floor plans put together by the Chicago Architectural Foundation, the images capture some of the very best ways to work with what exists, and to replace what cannot be salvaged.
One need not go far to see that much of America's urban landscape has long been rife with decay.
The blight of South Central Los Angeles or the South Bronx has been undeniable during the past several decades.
To public-housing officials, today's conditions are even more troubling. Millions of Americans in substandard housing are sinking deeper into poverty, and many more are just a paycheck away from living on the street.
Present in every major city, homelessness is now creeping out to the suburbs and the rural areas.
The enterprising and well-intentioned have tried to counter the effects of inner-city riots, rampant crime, and middle-class flight to suburban areas. But much of what they've tried - including elaborate urban-renewal schemes, empowerment zones, and community-development plans - have had very limited success.
While unsightly, run-down housing projects still tower over many cities, urban planners are busy working on face lifts.
By creating quarters where residences and common areas are more integrated, where it is easier for people to see and be with each other, these planners are making neighborhoods safer and restoring a sense of integrity to their inhabitants. Sheltered by Design draws on the best of them, or draws on the best of the lessons learned.
The exhibit is striking, not in its beauty, but in how it informs. The first, engaging view is a long wall at the entrance, covered in a time line that begins in 1932 with the Museum of Modern Art's introduction of the avant-garde European modernism of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier. Their tall cement buildings - boxes with neat rows of windows punched out - inspired designs that would dominate city skylines for the next 50 years.
The time line and accompanying images clearly show that the labyrinthine US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) poured billions of dollars into constructing those blocks of vertical concrete, avant-garde in the 1930s, which became an eyesore in the 1990s.
The display casts HUD, which had humble beginnings with a half dozen workers in 1933 and today numbers 12,000 employees, as a study in the "big is better" approach that the federal government now wants to change.
While the curators would probably see the optimal choice as razing decrepit high-rises and supplanting them with safer, cleaner town homes, they also laud improvements in old structures that remain standing.
Each wall highlights different housing design elements that attempt to transform the alienated resident into a caring member of a community.
Witness the tree-lined streets, accessible recreation areas, separate entrances, and front porches where residents can feel like individuals, and also like neighbors.
With pictures and words, Sheltered by Design celebrates designs that enhance the quality of life.
Light-filled rooms, new courtyards, and roof-top gables can go a long way toward removing the stigma of public housing.
But as the exhibit makes abundantly clear, without gainfully employed residents who take pride in their homes, these measures are short-lived and purely cosmetic.
* 'Sheltered by Design' is at the National Building Museum in Washington through Dec. 9. Travel plans to be determined.

Firefighters say they have no indication at this stage of what caused a large fire at a derelict barn near Retford.
Two crews from Retford and one from Tuxford were called to the incident on Grove Road at 7.50am on Monday, 17th March.
Crews were detained for over an hour putting out the blaze at the single-storey building and then damping down.

Saturday, October 25th 2014 will go down in history as the first BMW CCA Oregon Chapter DIY. Okay, not as big a deal as landing on the moon, but a remarkably good time for the Chapter members who participated.
Munich Motors owner Joseph Gilmore was the host for our first "DIY your BMW." When driving into his turn-of-the-century building (that's the 20th century, mind you) you are immediately aware of the history this building has had for almost a hundred years of auto repair.
DIY your BMW is a new event this year, and we hope to see enough interest from our members to do it again. For a $25 donation to our Chapter, you will get time on an automobile lift to work on your car while having the supervision and guidance of a professional mechanic to walk you through the tasks needed. Lunch is provided by the club.
We planned for a maximum of twelve cars with a limit of 90 minutes per car on the lift, or "rack." We ended up with six cars in attendance, which fortunately gave all of us extra time when needed.
I was the first that needed more time, as the delivery of the part I had ordered was delayed by about two hours. The good news was that Munich Motors has enough lifts to accommodate a total of 3 DIYs simultaneously while still tending to the regular customers they had that morning.
Guibo is also known as the Flex Disc. Between the transmission output shaft and the driveshaft, there is a flexible coupler that joins the two together. This rubber, reinforced coupler (guibo) isolates vibration from the rest of the drivetrain, while transferring power from the engine and transmission to the rear differential and wheels.
Joseph set me up and told me what I needed to do. Jeff Drilling was next to me, working on his 2004 330Ci to change its automatic transmission fluid. Unlike a standard transmission, this one takes a lot longer to do and had much more detail to the work. This resulted in yet another car exceeding the 90 minute time limit.
Buck Bailey was next up to change the brake pads on his 2005 645Cic. This became a group project as we all had something to say about what to do next. Lots of fun, and this one may have stayed within the 90 minute limit. Of course we only did the front brakes so a full brake job would have run us longer. After all, we are amateurs.
When Buck's car came down, Dave Kaechele's 2003 325IC went up on the rack to change fluids in the transmission, clutch, and differential. Dave clearly knew what he was doing as he was on and off in less than 60 minutes.
When Jeff was done, Alex Casey grabbed the lift to do an Inspection 1 and 2 on his 2004 330Ci ZHP… and an inspection is what he got! Joseph took a good amount of time going through his car top to bottom and pointed to a few things for Alex to set his sights on and fix in the future.
Last but not least was Trayson Harmon with his awesome looking 1998 E36 M3 Cabriolet. Trayson's list was long but I think his focus was on changing the fuel pressure regulator to a Dinan version. All seemed to go well until he started it back up and fuel came squirting out. It turned out to be a missing clip that was suspiciously absent when he purchased the unit from a friend. Quick thinking Joseph retrofitted the old clip, and Trayson was back in business.
Having Joseph there was like being back in High School shop class and having your teacher at hand to watch you and come to your rescue when needed, which was often the case for most of us. We also had his other mechanic, Chris, who assisted in many projects.
Thanks to David Hows and Janette Teevan who were busy snapping photos to capture and document the day.
This was a great day, with serious fun. When can we do it again? How many can we handle when 90 minutes seems to just fly by?

Britain breaks record for coal-free electricity production | Business
This 18-day period broke the previous UK record, which was set on June 4, 2019, partly due to the collapse in electricity demand during the shutdown of the coronavirus and due to use increased solar energy.
The UK set a new solar record on April 20 after solar parks generated more than 9.6 GW of electricity for the first time.
Britain quickly eliminates coal
Daily share of British electricity generated by burning coal
Source: Drax Electric Insights. Last update at 7:30 am on April 28
The foreclosure has also resulted in a record drop in demand for electricity in the UK due to the closure of schools, shops, factories and restaurants.
On Monday, demand is expected to drop nearly a fifth below usual levels in April, according to the data. The lower overall demand for electricity means that low carbon energy sources can make up a higher proportion of the energy system than usual.
This month, National Grid said it may be necessary to close wind farms and some power plants to avoid overloading the power grid.
The new charcoal-free record comes almost three years after the first use of the charcoal-free network for 24 hours.
Since then, all but four coal-fired power plants in the UK have shut down before the government-wide ban on coal production from 2025.
Coal made up just 2.1% of the country's total energy mix last year, a dramatic drop from nearly a quarter four years ago.
The collapse of coal and the increase in renewable energy sources have led to a drastic reduction in carbon emissions from the UK electricity sector. Since 2012, the average carbon intensity of the network – the amount of emissions required to produce one kilowatt-hour of energy – has decreased by more than two thirds, from 507 g of CO2 at 161g.

External Funding Compliance Officer
Employer: Westminster City Council
Reference: WEST/22/178060
Closing on: Fri 21/01/2022, 23:59 PM
Hours: 36 hours
Salary: £34,689 - £38,442 per annum. Salary is negotiable depending on experience.
Location: City Hall, 64 Victoria Street, SW1E 6QP, Westminster
THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF SERENA'S VISION
Business & Enterprise in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. Where innovative and open-minded people bring everything to the cause. Even expertise from surprising places.
Take Serena. She is an absolute force of nature at the heart of our Church Street regeneration. And she puts the residents first in everything. Serena's vision is clear. Regeneration isn't just about bricks and concrete. It's about communities. It's about the environment. It's about the lives of people and how they feel about where they call home. Serena is their advocate, making sure residents' voices aren't just heard, but drive the changes we're making. The future is safe in her hands.
As an External Funding & Compliance Officer – Employment & Skills in our high achieving External Funding & Compliance team, you can make your own powerful contribution. Working within the Business & Enterprise Service – and in partnership with Central London Forward (CLF) who are leading on a cross borough European Social Fund (ESF) Connecting Communities Project – you will ultimately help local residents gain valuable skills that will enable them to secure and sustain employment.
Your role in this exciting project will be deeply interesting, as you will act as the bridge between us and CLF (who are taking on the role of 'accountable body'), ensuring a smooth flow of information throughout. Compiling reports, claims and monitoring the sharing of information between the two organisations, you will ensure we are meeting all quality management and contractual requirements, and you will translate this knowledge for colleagues who might not understand the specifics of European Funded projects. As such you will take responsibility for implementing and managing the most robust monitoring, tracking, reporting and evaluation mechanisms, seeing to it that we are complying with ESF regulation and data protection principles. When the project is complete you will work with both the finance team and our funding bodies to oversee its effective closure and archive, as this will enable us to obtain future follow-on programmes.
With the full support of a friendly and multidisciplinary team, you will be a trusted partner to other employment and skills related services too (such as the Westminster Employment Service), providing them with guidance on funding opportunities and monitoring the progress of all bids. There is a great deal of scope to work creatively in this role, so you will be encouraged to create opportunities for income generation, including researching and advising on further sources of alternative funding, and you will and support with scoping and submission of funding applications.
Please refer to the Job Description for more information.
Join us and you will find there is immense scope to develop your skills and make a name for yourself in this exciting sector. To be equal to the challenge, you will therefore have a successful track record of bidding for and securing external and European funding for projects. As such we will expect you to fully understand the reporting requirements of ESF projects and you will have a good working knowledge of the agenda and policy areas surrounding economic development and regeneration issues. Well-versed in using both qualitative and quantitative data, you will have a background in developing processes, procedures and information systems, and your analytical skills will be exceptional. With great verbal and written communication skills you will enjoy building productive relationships with a wide variety of partners, and you will have the capacity to meet deadlines in a pressurised environment.
Westminster is an amazing place. There are 250,000 diverse residents, over 50,000 vibrant and vital businesses and three-quarters-of-a-million people working here every day. Our mission is to create a city for all. We're an organisation that wants the very best for our residents: a supportive and safe environment, the chance to grow and learn throughout their lives, to build fantastic careers in world-leading industries, to have access to high-quality, affordable housing and to retire into the community with dignity and pride.
We want Westminster to be a place where you can make the most of your talents and thrive as an individual. That's why we're proud to have won Best Health & Wellbeing Initiative in the 2020/21 Business Culture Awards. By being the best you can be, you'll help us adapt to the changing needs of our organisation and communities.

Go away, you filthy cat.
Well, jeez. Now I want to actually play her route.
She also has the best music in her route.
Druggie had the best job and best recovery by the end.
2010's smug faces and 1980s smug faces are both good.
Not as smug as you senpai.
What is so attractive about smug characters?
I know not why but I keep on falling in love with them.


We are pleased to offer an historic 1987 video of Floyd Sweet's Vacuum Triode Amplifier in action at his home in Sherman Oaks, California, together with Floyd Sweet explaining the secrets of how he conditioned his magnets.
The first part of the video, recorded in the evening of April 30th, 1987, covers two bench tests of his units, which would put out over a million times more power than was put into them. One of his units was later close-looped, i.e. it was completely self-powering.
The second part, recorded May 15th, 1987, features the late Floyd Sweet demonstrating in detail the secret way he conditioned his magnets for the VTA.
Both videos were shot by Tom Bearden.
"One is the 500 watt unit, also later used to do the antigravity test, and the second one is Sweet's explanation of part of his conditioning process—what he would release. That's closer than all the latest stuff he started saying as a defense to hide it. So it's fairly close to the real conditioning process, I think."
There is additional explanatory material about this in the Tom Bearden book "Energy from the Vacuum—Concepts & Principles".
Running time: 54 mins. Chapter 1 - Bench tests approx. 30 mins. (3 tests), Chapter 2 - Conditioning secrets approx. 24 mins.

Will China's Economy Collapse?
Interview with Ann Lee
Sign Up to listen to full interview.
About Ann Lee
Ann Lee is a former Visiting Professor at Peking University and hedge fund partner of two multi-billion dollar hedge funds. She is a recognized authority on China's political economy and author of the award-winning international bestseller What the U.S. Can Learn from China.
In a relatively short period of three decades, China has emerged as the largest trading nation and the second largest economy in the world, a feat that no other nation has been able to achieve in modern history.
Previously, China suffered humiliating defeats in two opium wars, and leaders of the country struggled during a humiliating century of foreign interference that ended in 1939 with the emergence of the communist party system. Although the Han dominate China, this vast nation is made up of 56 ethnic groups, collectively speaking a total of 300 languages. In terms of geographical diversity, the country also shares borders with 11 nations.
Since the opening of China in the late 1960s, the communist party has ruled with an iron fist, but leaders also stepped up economic development primarily by inviting foreign investments in the coastal region. The super charged economic growth in the last two decades has lifted several hundred million people from abject poverty, provided steady jobs, and boosted living standards across the regions. However, growing exports and developments in infrastructure that spearheaded the economic boom also led to a speculative bubble in real estate, capital flight, and a dramatic surge in income inequality.
Both Chinese bureaucrats and provincial leaders are addicted to the debt fueled infrastructure boom, largely funded by state-controlled banks, which may endanger the three-decade long economic expansion as the aspiring nation faces the middle income trap.
What is modern China's economy like?
How bad was China's stock market plunge between the summer of 2015 and January 2016?
What is driving the building of more than 100 ghost cities in China?
Why is a shadow banking system proliferating in China?
Is China threatened by the ballooning debt?
What are the parallels between the rise of Japan and China?
Will China grow older before it becomes richer?
Will China succeed in overcoming the middle income trap that many other rising nations in Asia failed to tackle?
What can the U.S. or emerging economies like India learn from China's rapid development?

The benefit company focused on building a generation of happy, flourishing and fearless young Africans leveraging latest research on happiness and resilience, Joy, Inc. [www.joyinc.xyz] is set to host a special edition of The Joy Masterclass with the theme 'Dealing with Depression'. This special edition of #TheJoyMasterclass holds on Saturday, 28th of July in Lagos, Nigeria.
Depression, according to the World Health Organisation is the leading cause of disability in the world, with over 615 million people suffering from anxiety and depression. Evidences from recent nationwide polls and data gathering by Joy, Inc. with help from research partners at Yale and NOI-Polls confirm the same crisis in Nigeria. At least 7 million Nigerians have previously been reported to suffer depression.
The Joy Masterclass, hosted by Chude Jideonwo, founder of Joy, Inc. and Yale World Fellow weaves the confluence of thinking and research about happiness, human flourishing and resilience across Psychology, Economics, Divinity and Philosophy into practical lessons, habits and tools that help participants transform their thinking, attitudes and actions. This edition is in partnership with Mentally Aware Nigeria Initiative and She Writes Woman, two internationally recognised non-profit organisations working on mental health in Nigeria.
Joy, Inc. had earlier this month embarked on a #FightDepression Media Tour across TV and radio stations to change perceptions about depression and other emotional/mental challenges.


Brake assist is an active vehicle safety feature designed to help drivers come to a halt more quickly through an episode of emergency braking. Studies reveal that when making emergency stops, about half of all drivers do not press the brake fast enough or hard enough to make complete use of their vehicle's braking power (NHTSA 2010; Page et al. 2005). Brake assist is designed to recognize the tell-tale indications of emergency braking and provide drivers with extra brake support.
Brake assist is called by other names such as Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) and Predictive Brake Assist (PBA). The different names are significant because though all brake assist systems have the same purpose, some are designed automobile safety differently.
When would brake assist be useful?
-A cyclist loses her balance and veers sharply in front of your vehicle.
-A large animal runs out into the road, forcing you to make an emergency stop.

A close-up of the Anthem-X.
Exposure Red-Eye light remote switch.
With several manuafacturers showing off new mountain bike products at Eurobike, it appears road and urban bikes aren't the only categories increasing in size or popularity. What Mountain Bike's editor Matt Skinner had a stroll around the halls in Friedrichshafen and here's what he found.
British brand Charges bikes had the most distinctive stand at the show: building on their domestic theme (every product is named after a domestic object – Stove, Spoon, Iron, Blender and so on) they literally built a faux laundrette frontage to display their growing range of stylish and thoroughly thought out road, urban, and mountain bikes.
Charge children's bike.: charge children's bike.
Hidden behind the scenes was a prototype children's bike: designed for 14in wheels it's a lightweight aluminium offering complete with Charge's distinctive graphics. Charge bikes' owner Nick Larsen claims it to be around half as light as mainstream brands' offerings and it was certainly impressively light although we can't yet confirm the claim. However, with the attention to detail that will help children get into biking more easily with true light weight frames, narrower diameter bars and grips, adjustable reach and easy action brakes for smaller and weaker hands, amongst others, Larsen looks set to join Isla Rowntree of Isla Bikes as one of the very few brands offering a truly high quality choice for children's bikes.
Following on from last year's additions to the Trance and Reign lines with the X models, this year sees the turn of the Anthem race bike getting an extra travel option.
The Anthem X sees Giant boost the travel on its premier race bike platform from 3.5in to a full 4in to cater for the rider looking for fast and efficient XC/trail miles, but without the pure race focus of the 3.5in Anthem.
The increase on the Anthem X platform sees the Maestro suspension system being subtly rearranged to accommodate the necessary extra shock stroke: the shock now being mounted vertically into the downtube/bottom bracket area as it is on the Trance and Reign platforms. The 3.5in Anthem itself remains in the range.
The top model – the Anthem XO (pictured) – rounds out the new Anthem X line.
What Mountain Bike magazine will have a full and exclusive test of the new Anthem X in its forthcoming issue – WMB89, on-sale 15th October.
Exposure red-eye light.: exposure red-eye light.
Exposure Lights – purveyors of cable-less, high performance Super LED lighting systems – have been busy with a few additions. Following closely on the launch of the new Maxx-D unit they have introduced a new single LED lamp to be used as a back up rear light. Named the 'Red Eye' it's staggeringly bright and can be attached to the seatpost or to the rear of the helmet for greater visibility. It's powered by plugging into the charging port of the main Exposure light (handlebar or helmet mounted) and feeding off the battery therein. By power sharinig in this way, running the Red Eye will affect the overall burn time of the main lamp. With the ever increasing efficiency of battery technology the idea of powering other lights or electronic devices – like a GPS unit or even a mobile phone – is intriguing. But this is still in the early days.
Exposure Lights were also showing a remote switch for the light units that again plugs into the charge socket of the lamp head. It mounts to the bar or stem and operates in the same way as the switch on the back of the lamp. Our only initial criticism is that it is not illuminated.
Giro athlon off-road helmet.: giro athlon off-road helmet.
Helmet maker Giro has long been first choice of many XC riders with its top end E2 helmet. But now they've introduced a replacement in the form of the Athlon.
It takes the design cues of the E2 but morphs them into a slightly softer organic aesthetic – particularly noticeable at the rear of the helmet. The Athlon features Giro's benchmark Roc-Loc 4 fit system for a secure fit over the rough; 23 massive vents together with internal channelling for greater cooling; POV adjustable visor, and comes in a slew of colour combinations.
The E2 was a hugely successful helmet and although Giro are replacing it with the Athlon, their want to continue that success is clear with the close familial resemblance the new helmet has to its predecessor.
Lezyne track pump.: lezyne track pump.
Lezyne broke onto the scene last year to great reception – impressing hugely with their focused line of high quality tools, bag and pumps. For their second year they've expanded the range but continue with their distinctive design focus.
Top for this year is the introduction of floor pumps: the range consists of six models ranging from the top end CNC Floor Drive pump through to the Steel Floor Drive.
The top model – the CNC Floor Drive – is rated up to 220psi and features full CNC aluminium construction, oversized pressure dial, and 100 percent aluminium Flip Thread chuck heads. Designed by Lezyne, the Flip Thread chuck heads allow the pump to be screwed – not pressed – securely onto both a Presta and Schrader valves by just unscrewing and flipping the assembly around for the correct valve. It's very solid, very well made and could very well be a pump for life. It will retail for £69.99 in the UK.
Marin impressed hugely in 2008 and their 5in travel Mount Vision trail bike won What Mountain Bike magazine's prestigious Bike of the Year award. Historically, however, the Mount Vision, was a lightweight, 4in travel XC bike that could take on both the race course and the trail centre. With the shuffling up in travel and an increase in weight for increased trail bike strength this left a hole in Marin's line for a 4in travel, more XC-focused bike. Enter for 2009 from stage left, the Alchemist.
Made from hydroformed 6066 aluminium, the Alchemist is that 4in XC/marathon bike that Marin claim is the lightest and stiffest they've ever made, and uses an evolution of Marin's established Quad Link XC suspension system. The updated suspension system – Quad Link XC 2.0 – supports a shorter stroke shock and a radically designed frameset from previous Quad Link bikes. A descending top tube forms the top pivot and shock mount, whilst a seat mast forks off to join the seat tube to create a distinctive V top tube profile for massive standover. Forged pivot mounts increase weight and strength and the wide lower link is offset 4mm to the non-drive side for greater crank clearance. Geometry is also changed to suit its speedier credentials, with a steeper head angle and longer top than the Mount Vision. Marin claim the new bike weighs an on the money 9.9kg (21.8lbs).
Marin have also introduced a full carbon hardtail: the CXR Team. Designed as an out and out race bike, the CXR Team is a striking bike thanks to its curving lines, reinforced headtube and internal cable routing.


Said to be a blend created more than ten years ago, the Partagas Heritage is the latest release from General Cigar Co. under their Partagas brand. The company announced nationwide release on March 21, 2017.
Produced at General Cigar Dominicana, Partagas Heritage is available in four vitolas: Rothschild (4 ½ by 50), Robusto (5 ½ by 52), Churchill (7 by 49), and Gigante (6 by 60). The Heritage features tobaccos from Honduras, Connecticut, Dominican Republic and Mexico with only viso leaves used in the cigar. The Honduran Olancho San Agustin Valley wrapper is a proprietary leaf grown by the Plasencia family only for General Cigar Co.. The wrapper leaf can be found on a few other offerings from the company.
The Partagas Heritage is wrapped in a medium to dark brown marbleized leaf that has a deep red hue and black color splotches. A couple of medium to large veins run veins run down the bumpy wrapper. A nice amount of oils can be felt as I examine the cigar from head to foot on this evenly and firmly filled stick.
An aroma of vinegar and sweet cedar are found on the wrapper of the cigar, while a thick aroma of silk chocolate is found on the foot. A quick cut through the double cap opens up a free draw bringing forth cold draw flavors of potpourri and cedar and a light cinnamon spice is felt in the back of the throat.
The cigar opens with a sharp metallic flavor as the smoke is thick and chewy in the mouth. There are additional flavors of sweet wood, salt, and a decent amount of pepper spice, followed by an earthy finish. The burn line is razor thin with a minor wave as a light colored, flaky ash is formed. The first ash dropped short of the one inch mark.
Moving into the second third, the metallic quality has diminished and the cigar has gained in richness and spice. At the same time, the earlier flavors are now meshing well with an additional bit of sweetness that may be tied to a raisin flavor. Also, the more generic woodsy flavor in the first third is now a warm cedar. A copious amount of smoke is produced delivering a medium flavor profile as the cigar burns just about perfectly.
The Partagas Heritage has become more enjoyable with each puff . Down to the last third of the cigar, the profile remains rich and the flavors well rounded. The saltiness has held strong for the entirety of the cigar and remains an intriguing part of the profile. A toasted bread flavor develops with only an inch remaining. The burn is a bit off track , but with so little cigar remaining it is not worth a touch-up.
The first sample smoked for review started off a little bumpy with the metallic flavor, but it quickly moved from a disjointed profile to one that was rather balanced. Up until the last third, the cigar performed flawlessly. And even with the wavy burn in the final third, there was really no impact to the smoke. The second sample skipped right over the metallic flavor, but several burn issues were encountered over the course of the smoke. Even so, other than being a minor annoyance, the touch-ups didn't interfere with the flavors. For a reasonably priced cigar, the Partagas Heritage presents a medium flavor and strength profile with some intriguing qualities.

SHANGHAI, China (AFP) 5/27/2016 —US auto giant General Motors (GM) will recall more than two million vehicles produced through a joint venture in China because of an engine component flaw, the firm and officials said.
The venture between GM and Shanghai-based SAIC will recall 2.16 million Buick and Chevrolet branded vehicles because their engine valves could corrode after extended use, the company said on Thursday.
Business media outlet Caixin reported that the recall was the largest in China so far this year. The country is the world's largest car market, making it crucial for foreign automakers as sales have slowed elsewhere.
GM says it is the largest foreign automaker by sales last year in China, delivering more than 3.6 million vehicles in 2015, up some five percent from record sales the previous year.
The recall, also confirmed in a statement from China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, will formally start in August.
It affects some Buick vehicles produced between 2009 and 2015 and Chevrolet cars made from 2009 to 2016, the statements said.
Models include the Buick Excelle as well as Chevy Aveo, Cruze and Epica.
Affected owners can have the defect fixed without charge, according to the statements. The venture could not be immediately reached for comment.

I've just visited the new playground in Larnaca named WOW Action Park and the only thing I had in my mind leaving from the Park was WOOOOOOW.
Do not take me wrong but there were plenty of children first, running up and down, lots of energy, lots of places to go one from another even my kids were running all the time, that gave me the feeling that I was doing everything not just sitting on a chair.
The kids were very happy from the youngest until the oldest because everybody had a place for him here.
First the playground for the toddlers had lots of toys and climbing area very nice designed and well protected. There was a kitchen well equipped, a climbing structure and plenty of other toys to play with.
The playground for the bigger ones had so many slides: 4 speed slides and another 2 twirling slides very high. The playground was very twisted that I could barely search for my children in it, build on three floors with shooting balls gun and trampolines and climbing structures of all sorts and shapes.
There was also an inside climbing wall for the brave one. A good idea and a Bravo for the owners!
The outside area had plenty of bicycle for the little ones, a metallic structure to climb for the bigger guests and a huge bouncy castle.
The restaurant was nice with an interesting choice of plates and desserts.
So plenty, plenty of things to do… lots of running, climbing, new and interesting toys!
Good for you Larnaca City!
